Chapter 261 Travel to Busan (Part 2)
There is no beach here at the port. In fact, the entire western part of Busan has not been developed again, so the only dazzling view nearby is probably the rapeseed flower land on the west side of the Luodong River. However, it is already mid-July, and it has long been dilapidated.
In fact, Kim Jong-ming, who had been wearing sweatpants and T-shirts since he woke up in the morning, walked along with Baker, but the ship set off in Xiasha Port made him feel that it felt like this.
Speaking of which, although the morning has passed, the fire of July above my head is already on the top of my head, and there is a blue and clean sea in front of me, as the whistle sounds, the 10,000-ton ship sets off, stirring up a thin mist that covers half of the port. Standing next to this water vapor, it seems like I have returned to the fog of the morning. However, as the fog in front of me dissipates, the most shocking thing is another scene in the distance, because just at the stern of the freight ship that had just arrived, a small rainbow suddenly came into my eyes, just like a colorful streamer hanging on the stern of the boat.
However, this kind of light, water vapor and the beautiful scenery formed by Kim Jong-ming's location are hard to come by. In almost a few seconds, as the ship left, the rainbow disappeared quickly. Only the previous mist condensed on the ground, reminding people with wet traces that the scene just now did exist.
After watching the giant ship leave the port, Kim Jong-ming didn't mean to stay for too long, but looking around, there was a dense dock warehouse to the east, and a long and tasteless cement seawall to the west. Moreover, the entrance to the Luodong River not far away was still a closed bird protection wetland, so it was impossible to enter at all.
So, after hesitating for a moment, Kim Jong-ming finally shook his head and took Baker to walk around the port. But at this moment, he had no idea that someone on the set had fallen into a headless flies because of his sudden departure.
"Don't you bring your phone?" Li Minghan asked speechlessly.
"It's just a man with Baker, a dog." I have to admit that the screenwriter who answered was very honest. "Maybe he also brought his wallet. But the phone did fall on the main console."
"When will you come back?" Li Minghan turned around and looked at the two anxious people behind him, and continued to ask helplessly.
"I didn't say it, but the director said that all the scenes today will be left to you to shoot."
"You two have seen it too... or forget it, or come back tonight? He will definitely go back to the hotel tonight." Li Minghan frowned and turned around to ask for advice from the two visitors behind him.
"I went to the sand, right? If it doesn't work, I'll go find it myself!" A man wearing glasses sighed slightly. "I really can't help. I'm entrusted by someone..."
"I also asked the representative of Kim Jong-ming to say something particularly important, and I was entrusted by someone." Another person was also helpless. "I also went to the luck and found the best. I couldn't find the hotel to wait for someone at night..."
"If you really find it, Lao Li, don't forget to call me after you finish your talk." The man in glasses was just right, and he was about to leave and put on the baseball cap directly.
“Each one another…”
"Do you want me to add a few more people to the two?" Li Minghan was helpless again...well, he said politely. "Xiasha District said it is big or small, and he just walked there, and it may not be in Shasha District."
"How can you still work for your colleagues when you look for a needle in the sea?" The middle-aged man named Li smiled bitterly. "Li pd has received his kindness, let's try our luck."
Of course, Li Minghan was just a polite sentence... He knew better than anyone else that this was a needle in the sea, so how could he send out the important crew to help the other party do useless work?
In fact, as Li Minghan thought, the two of them found Luodongjiangkou from the port area and found the seawall from the warehouse area. They found it all the way from the morning to almost noon, but they didn't see Kim Jong-ming's shadow at all. Finally, until the sun was slightly west, both of them were all so hungry that they fainted. When they called to ask where the set, there was no news that Kim Jong-ming was going back to have a meal. The two had no choice but to pinch their noses, and then walked towards the southwest corner of Shaxia District, that is, the small catering service block... Then the two smart people suddenly realized that they were so stupid!
Speaking of which, although Shaxia District is large, most areas are ports, warehouses, and a small number of Hanjin Shipping’s own group schools. These places are all supplied by canteens and there are very few special restaurants. When I want to have lunch at noon, I can’t run here. Where is Kim Jong-ming? And he also brings such a big and easy-to-recognize dog!
As soon as he thought of this, two smart people with important missions stopped eating immediately, but quickly searched and inquired in the dining area with only two or three streets. You can't say that Bae Yongjun, who came back from Luodongjiang, was indeed much more lucky than Lee Byung-hun there. Before he had just found half a street, he saw an old seafood restaurant with no style. There was a big white dog squatting beside the open-air dining table in front of the restaurant. No matter how you look like Baker from a distance, he walked over and saw... It was really awesome!
But at this time, when Bae Yongjun was surprised, someone had already climbed up to talk to Kim Jong-ming to the dining table under the parasol in front of him, and there was another person sitting next to him waiting in line. What surprised him even more was that he knew both of them, but he was not Lee Byung-hun who happened to meet on the set before.
So, Blind Pei didn't say much, but just obediently walked around Baker and sat at the table.
What was waiting for was Yang Juhua, and what was talking to Kim Jong-ming was the president of Pledis. After nodding his head face to face with Yang Juhua, Blind Pei quickly understood the purpose of Han Sung-soo's trip to borrow money!
Speaking of which, although the company pledis has developed well in the period from 2009 to 2011, the main girl group atehool is also one of the 2097 Girls Groups, after 2012, the company had huge problems in its operations. The departure of the old captain Jiaxi in June fully demonstrated the failure of the so-called graduation system in South Korea. Even when the team came to the individual, there were already new and old members doing their own things. Now that Park Jiaxi left the team, there were rumors of internal strife and isolation coming out... To put it bluntly, putting aside the rumors of internal strife, there were some people who were pushing the rumor, the industry colleagues also understood that this company that had started very quickly before would not find a way, and it would probably fall at a faster speed.
Now, guessing in front of Han Chengzhu is not a speculation from the outside world, but a real thing.
"The company relies too much on atehool." Han Chengzhu lowered his head and said with an embarrassing look on his face. It is completely imaginable how helpless it was to say these words in front of two colleagues. "The operating income is all about this group, so since 2011 when they were unstable due to the addition of people, I thought about launching a new group as soon as possible to maintain the balance..."
Yang Xianshuo, who was sitting next to him, looked expressionless, but he sneered in his heart. Adding people? This system of constantly changing the candidates for groups has not been accepted by Korean fans from the beginning. Is it good to have a profitable veteran group at the beginning? A new company will get a profitable veteran group at the beginning. The right way to accumulate funds is to accumulate funds honestly. What are you trying to make? Moreover, it is even more nonsense to rush to promote a new group if you are unstable in the later period, because promoting a new group requires resources and requires the company to do its best. If you don’t retreat appropriately and comfort atehool, why should you promote a new group?
"But unexpectedly, there was a big problem in the business." Han Sung-soo continued to explain the current situation weakly. "The new group lacks resources and cannot be supported at all. Because the resources are squeezed out, there are many people in atehool, and the conflicts have become more intense... Finally, last month, captain Jiaxi also withdrew from the team. She told me clearly that it is difficult to get along with the current new team members..."
"It directly affects income?" Jin Zhongming frowned slightly.
"Finance is very difficult." Han Chengzhu hesitated, but nodded helplessly. "As soon as Jiaxi withdrew from the team, there was a saying of exclusion and internal strife at atehool, and the media and fans were very sensitive to such things... Tara's previous incident was a clear proof, so the income was almost immediately reduced... My capital chain is really unable to keep up. After thinking about it, I can only borrow money. But you also know that the debt borrowing problem in South Korea is that only those big companies can enjoy normal interest bank loans..."
"Yes." Yang Juhua made a proper speech, selling favors indifferently, and didn't know if there was any rumor of atehool's internal strife. "The company is not a certain scale, and if it wants to get funds, it's nothing more than usury or private loans. If it doesn't work, it can only borrow from a large company, but the latter basically has to sell the equity..."
Kim Jong-ming nodded expressionlessly: "So when President Han found me in the morning, I think he had a schizophrenia?"
"I'm going to hide it from you." Han Chengzhu swallowed nervously. "I heard about M Company. If possible, I hope I can borrow a private loan from you to alleviate the finances..."
Yang Xianshuo sneered in his heart again!
The two bastards of m borrowed a large amount of private loans from Kim Jong-ming, of course they all know that in the industry, but there is a reason. Kim Jong-ming was fighting with Lee Jae-hyun at the time, playing a $1 billion acquisition war. Of course, two two-five-child who turned against him had interest-free loans. But what is Han Sung-soo? What is your pledis? If you don’t take out some equity, why should Kim Jong-ming lend you money? Could it be that you are his uncle-in-law who has been separated for many years? Didn’t you see that they had no face at the beginning? Are you not Boa’s agent? You have a genius to find Li Xiuman to see if he will take the opportunity to tear off you? And...
"How much does it take to stabilize the situation?" Kim Jong-ming still looked bad, but what he said made Yang Xianshuo's heart suddenly stumble, and many kinds of ridicule were instantly stuck in his stomach.
Of course, Han Chengzhu was naturally overjoyed: "It doesn't take too much, 5 billion won can be maintained. The main reason is that I have become more and more nervous recently. I'm afraid of something unexpected. I can pay for the monthly interest rate..."
"No need." Kim Jong-ming waved his hand impatiently. "I'm not a loan shark, I'm all colleagues in the industry. President Han, you have always had good reputations. Pledis is also an idea-based company. Within a year... it will be based on the bank interest. I'll remind me tonight that I will tell the financial team in Seoul."
"Mr. Jin Zhongming, I will never thank you for your kindness!"
As the other party said the last sentence, Han Chengzhu immediately felt that the string that had been tense in his body for several months had instantly relaxed, and immediately sweated happily. Then, after returning to his past Qingming, he immediately stood up and bowed to thank him, and he left without even eating.
"Is Zhong Ming going to run a bank?" Seeing someone leaving, Pei Yongjun immediately smiled and interrupted, and could tell that he wanted to speak first.
However, Yang Xianshuo had no intention of being upset. In his opinion, it was the most appropriate to put his own affairs in the end.
"President Pei." Kim Jong-ming couldn't help but sneer, but the two people next to him could see that he was still in a bad mood. "Why can't I run a bank? Do I don't have that money or that channel?"
After asking for fun, the blind Pei laughed dryly, and had to turn his head away with awkwardly for the time being. Yang Xianshuo finally had the opportunity to take the opportunity to order orders...
"You guys." Kim Jong-ming shook his head helplessly. "The pattern is too low. First of all, Han Sung-soo is really a good reputation, and then pledis is also a well-known company in the industry. What are the benefits for everyone? The prosperity of the industry requires everyone to work hard and also to consolidate the pattern. Always staring at your own company and treating other people's companies as enemies... it's too petty."
"Yes." Bae Yongjun had no choice but to admit his mistake again. "Zhong Ming, you are right."
However, as soon as this statement was made, Yang Xianshuo on the other side was really inexplicably touched: "But, if Zhong Ming, you think pledis is pretty good, why not take the opportunity to ask for some control or something?"
"Why do I want this?" Kim Jong-ming asked back angrily. "I already have ube, why do I still need equity in such a small company?"
"But you have something to make money, you can invest!"
"Is investment not like this?" Jin Zhongming retorted speechlessly. "After all, pledis is a competitor. I invested money there, and then when I encountered competition between ube and pledis, what's the matter? Is this kind of investment purely a waste, right?"
"Indeed, this investment efficiency is too low." Yang Xianshuo nodded thoughtfully. If he had been thinking, he would definitely have thought of annexing, rather than simply seizing some control. But... But why didn't the other party annexing? With the other party's financial resources and power, it seems that it is not a problem to try to monopolize and integrate within the industry... But according to this idea, there seems to be something wrong.
For a moment, Yang Juhua was really a little confused. Could it be that her situation was too low? She didn’t see through things?
While thinking about it, the food was finally served. This restaurant is actually just an old restaurant in the catering service area of the port area, and there is nothing decent. Moreover, eating from the mountains and seas is nothing more than some seafood and other things. The clams are stewed in one pot...
However, no one put his mind on the meal. Just after eating two bites, Pei Yongjun took the initiative to speak: "Actually, you are entrusted by someone to come to find Zhong Ming today, and it is not a serious matter in itself..."
"It's not too serious, you came out to find me in the morning. Can't you wait for the evening?" Jin Zhongming's face was full of sarcasm.
"That's because the people who ask me are more important." Bae Yongjun put down the chopsticks and paused for a moment. "Actually, I always think you must have known this very early. The reason why I have been able to do a good business over the years is largely because I had a considerable investment in another company that later successfully went public in my early years. It was an Internet company and had a good cooperative relationship with Professor An Zhexiu's antivirus software company... Today, he asked me to give you a sentence..."
Yang Juhua, who was pretending to eat vegetables next to her, suddenly felt that the chrysanthemum was tightening.
"Tell me." Kim Jong-ming didn't care at all.
"Do I want to avoid it?" Yang Xianshuo sweated heavily.
"No." Bae Yongjun waved his hands repeatedly.
"What's there to avoid?" Kim Jong-ming also sneered. "Tell me quickly."
"He said, I hope you can remember what was said in the library, and since then he has not used Bae Yongjun to make trouble for you." Perhaps it was a bit awkward to say his name, Bae Yongjun was inevitably stuck. "However, now seeing that your situation has come true, he said that he decided to respect your status in the entertainment industry, and Bae Yongjun has given you the right to..."
"It's indeed a bunch of nonsense." Jin Zhongming almost laughed out loud. "But it's a bit interesting to say it from your mouth... have you finished?"
"It's over." Bae Yongjun nodded seriously, then crossed his hands on his legs, and sat there motionlessly, like a criminal waiting for the judge's judgment.
But beside him, Yang Xianshuo was already in a state of confusion.
ps: There is also a book friend group of 457160898, everyone add it. Beijing has been thirty degrees for several days, and I am almost fainting from heat... But my stomach is not good, and I can't afford to drink cold ice cream and so on... I'm also suffering... How can I bear this summer?
