Chapter 390: We’ll have to take a closer look soon
"Wait, you don't think these are gifts from me, do you?"
"Huh??"
"Aren't these the gifts that Oppa gave me?"
Goo Hara looked at Huang Xu doubtfully, and then at the milk tea drink on the table. Her face, which was as delicate as a doll, was full of confusion.
Huang Xu and Gu Hara's little face full of confusion, smiled bitterly and shook their heads.
"How should I put it? These are indeed gifts for you."
"But of course the gift I give is not just these cups of milk tea!"
"Ah, what is that?"
"Look at the shop over there where we just bought milk tea. What do you think of their business?"
Huang Xu did not directly answer Goo Hara's doubts, but pointed to the store just now and asked Goo Hara.
Although Goo Hara didn't know what Huang Xu meant, she still followed Huang Xu's fingers and looked at the shop over there.
Looking at them, the crowd was still flowing under the summer sun, and then turned to look at Huang Xu and said.
"Their business is very good. Although there is no queue at the door, the flow of people has never stopped."
"Well, their business is really good."
Huang Xu nodded, then pointed to the glasses of drinks in front of them and asked.
"Do you think these drinks taste good?"
“It’s delicious. These milk teas taste good.”
"Then do you think there is a market for these milk teas in South Korea?"
"To Korea?"
When Goo Hara heard Huang Xu's words, she immediately thought of Huang Xu's franchise business and said excitedly to Huang Xu.
"Oppa, is your next chain product going to be milk tea?"
"I feel that many people will like it. It tastes good and looks good. There should be a good market."
"I just think it's a bit too sweet. Will it be easy to gain weight if you drink too much?"
"These things are really easy to gain weight."
Hearing Goo Hara's concerns, she nodded in agreement.
These milk teas are drinks made with various buttercreams or milk powder, plus various flavors, cream jams and the like. Drinking too much is indeed very easy to cause weight gain.
Then he looked at Goo Hara and pointed out the mistake in what she just said.
"But it's not my company, it's your company, and this is for you."
"I'm going to help you open a company in South Korea and start a chain of milk tea shops in Seoul."
"This is the gift I prepared for you."
"My company?"
"A gift for me?"
Goo Hara opened her mouth wide and looked at Huang Xu in disbelief. She was obviously shocked by what Huang Xu just said.
Although she is a novice in business, she doesn't know much about business matters.
But after being together with Huang Xu for such a long time, she had never asked Huang Xu about the specific performance of his franchise business.
But just from the few words heard from Huang Xu's mouth, he knew the huge profits of the franchise chain industry.
Not to mention the pickled fish that helped Huang Xu obtain hundreds of billions in revenue, let’s just say that there are only more than 100 franchised Malatang stores in the front, which also brought tens of billions of won in revenue to Huang Xu.
This is not a small amount of money.
For idols like them, this is almost an income that most idols will not earn in their entire career.
And this isn't a one-and-done deal.
As long as the store exists, they need to purchase ingredients from the company and pay various fees.
It was precisely because of knowing this that her brain shut down.
She couldn't figure out why Huang Xu did this.
Huang Xu, who was opposite her, did not disturb her and let her be confused. Then he picked up a cup of milk tea and tasted it slowly.
In fact, this was not his original plan.
This made her brain sluggish for a while.
Unfortunately, the plan could not keep up with the changes. After being reminded by my uncle and making my choice, I came up with the idea of setting up a franchise chain company for Goo Hara.
Since, as a foreigner, I am vulnerable to prying eyes and targeted by interested people, wouldn't it be better to choose a local?
Moreover, it is now the second half of 2013, and it is not long before the United States deploys the SD system.
His good days in South Korea are coming to an end.
He made this choice just in case, and to be able to run away easily at any time.
It can give Goo Hara a career and a guarantee, and it can also live up to the hugely profitable milk tea industry.
It may even be possible to pave the way and prepare for his future entry into the domestic chain market.
Goo Hara was stunned for more than a minute before she woke up from the shock, and then looked at Huang Xu anxiously.
"No, Oppa, I can't ask for this gift. It's too expensive."
"And if you leave it to me, I won't be able to do it, right?"
"As long as I can stay with Oppa, I don't need these gifts."
"Don't worry, if you can't do it, doesn't it still belong to me?"
Seeing Goo Hara's worried expression, Huang Xu comforted her with a smile.
"You don't have to worry about the company's affairs. You can leave everything to me. You just need to sit back and collect the money."
"But."
"Stop it, since Oppa wants to give it to you, then just keep it well."
"And you can't always be an idol in the future. This is the guarantee I give you."
"In the future, even if you quit the group, no longer be an idol, or even no longer in the entertainment industry, you can still live a prosperous life"
In a rare moment of being a domineering president, Huang Xu directly forced Goo Hara to accept his gift without giving her a chance to refuse.
And put forward a reason why she could not refuse.
"The most important thing is, don't forget, isn't your brother still working outside?"
"After the company is established, let your brother come to work in the company."
"When the company gets on the right track and he gets started, the company can be handed over to your brother to manage."
"This way he doesn't have to endure hardships outside. You can rest assured that the company will be left to him."
"Oppa, thank you, you are so kind."
Hearing Huang Xu's words, Goo Hara's heart was moved to the extreme.
Although he was very good to Goo Hara in the past, compared to now, there is still a certain gap.
Someone like Huang Xu, who can provide a woman with abundant material security for the rest of her life, is a sure-fire move for almost all women.
And most importantly, Huang Xu also helped her think of her brother and his family, which made Goo Hara unable to stay calm anymore.
Obeying his inner wish, he pounced directly on Huang Xu. "Oh Hola, be careful, I won't run away."
"Look how old you are, and you are still so anxious and careless."
It was said that he was complaining, but Huang Xu's eyes were more worried.
After Goo Hara threw herself into Huang Xu's arms, she looked up at Huang Xu and whispered awkwardly.
"Isn't this a little too exciting?"
"And Oppa, why are you so nice to me?"
"If I am not good to you, who should I be good to?"
Seeing Goo Hara's excited eyes, Huang Xu gently comforted her, then glanced at the crowd around him and said to her.
"Okay, stand up first. Look at them. Are they looking at us now?"
"No, I don't want it, I want to hug Oppa."
"They can watch it if they want, I just want to hold Oppa in my arms!"
"Okay, okay, if you don't want to get up, don't get up. As long as you are happy."
Seeing Goo Hara shaking her head in rejection at the speed of light, Huang Xu also looked a little helpless.
Then he held Goo Hara and turned around, slightly blocking everyone's view, and then put Goo Hara on his lap.
During this process, Goo Hara's arms did not leave Huang Xu's neck the whole time, and she looked into Huang Xu's eyes the whole time without any thought of shifting her gaze.
Seeing Goo Hara in this situation, Huang Xu could only hug her, and then slowly began to tell her the plan to open a company for her.
By the time Huang Xu returned to the hotel with Goo Hara, it was already three o'clock in the afternoon.
At noon, Huang Xu briefly explained to Goo Hara about starting a company, then took her to eat something, and then visited several milk tea shops of different brands before returning to the hotel.
After entering the room, Huang Xu asked Goo Hara to wash up and have a good rest, then he walked out of the room and came to the lobby of the hotel.
"I'm sorry, Brother Rui, I made you wait for me for so long this time."
"It's okay, these are what I should do."
Zhang Rui waved his hand to indicate that he was fine, and then started to complain to Huang Xu.
“And there is air conditioning here, so I enjoy it more than in the program group.”
"You haven't seen it. It's been so hot these two days and we have to record the show outside. It's really miserable."
"Yes, it's getting colder now, and the temperature is indeed a bit high."
Huang Xu also nodded in agreement.
When he and Goo Hara were shopping in the commercial street for inspection, they were blinded by the sun, so they hid inside the golden arches.
After a brief chat about old times, the two of them walked into the parking lot together and drove towards the recording venue of the program team.
When they got to the car, while Zhang Rui was concentrating on driving, he also reported to Huang Xu some situations of the program team during his absence.
Overall, the filming went smoothly together. Although there were some minor twists and turns, it still went on smoothly.
Moreover, Park Soo-geun and Im Yong-cheol's attitudes also changed during the filming and became a little more diplomatic.
At least it won't be like the last time, which was so tense that it almost broke your face.
After listening to Zhang Rui's report, Huang Xu nodded with satisfaction and said to himself.
"I guess they are sensible, otherwise if they continue to do their thing, I won't be polite."
As a Chinese, Huang Xu can't stand many things in Korea.
For example, South Korea’s junior and senior system.
Although this system was passed down from China, and some industries in China now have senior and master-apprentice systems, these are essentially different from South Korea.
The domestic system of juniors and seniors has actually evolved slowly from the old to the new.
The premise for apprentices or backers to respect their seniors is because their seniors will teach backers a lot of knowledge and experience that cannot be learned from books, so that backers can avoid detours.
On the contrary, in South Korea, most people rely on the junior and senior system to engage in bullying, which makes Huang Xu a little annoying.
Apart from this, what Huang Xu hates most is the status culture of the Korean entertainment industry.
In the Korean entertainment industry, there is a huge difference in the status of artists.
Those with the highest status are directors and writers, and then from high to low are TV actors, singers, hosts, comedians and idols.
Girl group idols like Tara and others actually have a very low status in the Korean entertainment industry.
This is also the main reason why Zhang Rui talked about the program team and Tara and the others being very unhappy last time.
And these are what Huang Xu hates the most, so Huang Xu warned Park Xiugen and the others last time.
If they don't change things this time, then Huang Xu may really change.
However, Huang Xu's happiness did not last long, and he heard Zhang Rui say to Huang Xu in a hesitant tone.
"Xiao Xu, I have discovered a new situation in the past few days. I don't know whether to talk about it or not."
"To put it bluntly, there is nothing we can't talk about."
"And I never saw you in this kind of situation when you were in college?"
Seeing Zhang Rui's hesitant expression, Huang Xu also laughed directly.
But at the same time, his curiosity was aroused by Zhang Rui's words.
What problem did he see that made him hesitate to speak like this?
Zhang Rui looked at Huang Xu's reaction, and then he felt a little relieved, and then said to Huang Xu.
"Xiao Xu, I feel that the program team may need to take a break before continuing filming."
"Otherwise, I'm really worried about the final effect of the film."
"Oh, what happened to them? Can you feel like this?"
Huang Xu was also shocked when he heard Zhang Rui's words.
But at the same time, he actually didn't quite believe Zhang Rui.
Although Zhang Rui was the spy he sent to the program team, the purpose of sending him was just to keep an eye on the program team and not let them fool around, or fool themselves.
As a result, he now said that there was a problem with the shooting effect.
If an outsider like him could see the problem, then how serious the situation would be.
Zhang Rui didn't care about Huang Xu's attitude and continued to tell.
"I'm just too tired looking at them. If I don't take a good rest, there may really be problems with the shooting effect."
"It has been more than 20 days since I started shooting with them. I have always watched their performance."
"Compared to when I first came here, I find that there seems to be no light in their eyes now."
"Nowadays, no matter what novel things we see, beautiful scenery or delicious food, the performance is a bit exaggerated and superficial."
"If it's more serious, it's just a bit fake."
"Is that so?"
Huang Xu, who was a little disapproving and didn't care much at first, couldn't help but become cautious after hearing Zhang Rui's words.
If the problem is really as Zhang Rui said, something is wrong.
But it was impossible for me to listen to his side of the story, so I could only say one sentence.
"I understand, I have to take a closer look at that moment!"
