Chapter 13: Two Big Gifts at the Beginning of '08
Before I knew it, 2007 had passed. In the past two months, Li Shenglin's life hadn't changed much. Xiao Jing would often come over to eat and drink, and Xiao Zhanyan would also frequently call him. The relationship between the three of them became even closer.
Han Seung-yeon's smile was getting less and less, it had already affected her work, so Lee Sung-lin had a good talk with her.
It turns out that my own little server was not hidden enough, and it has already become a performing artist. Unfortunately, the development is really not smooth. One of the members had the idea of quitting and negotiated with the company, but didn't tell the sisters. I still overheard it, very sad.
After several months of getting along, Han Shengyan still trusted her boss and regarded him as a close friend. After all, she had experienced many cold and warm treatments from people and could tell who was good to her. If it were elsewhere, she would have been fired long ago.
The boss OPPA not only gave himself a raise, but also increased his salary by a lot, otherwise he would have given up long ago.
Li Shenglin didn't know how to comfort her, after all, Hu Hu's mother had abandoned even her own child for the sake of her dreams. He could only advise Han Seung-yeon to continue observing and see if there would be any replacements after the members left the team. If they really disbanded, he would hire her as a full-time store manager!
But anyway, it seems like all the little girls I know are related to the entertainment industry. It's as if all the pretty Korean girls become trainees or actresses. If I want to find a suitable stepmother for Xiao HuHu, do I need to go into the entertainment industry too?
In his past life, Liu Shi Tou's last words still lingered in his memory. They weren't people of the same world... it seemed really hard for them to be together...
......
In the New Year's Day of 2008, a new year has begun. The biggest change is naturally our little Huhu. The little guy is growing very fast now, full of energy and curiosity, starting to crawl everywhere, making Li Shenglin exhausted just by watching him.
"Hey, Shenglin ge!"
It was a call from Hong Canmin, who had been busy with his career for a long time and hadn't seen him in ages.
"What's up? New Year has arrived, give me some money!" Li Shenglin joked.
"Haha, don't worry about the money for now. Aren't you going to Chengkung University? And it's New Year's too! Zhi Zhong and I have prepared a gift for you!"
"Don't talk nonsense, there's still a re-exam next month!" Li Shenglin said proudly.
On the phone, Hong Canmin said, "Alright, brother, don't mess around anymore. With your grades and your dad's connections, getting into Chengjun Academy is a hundred percent sure thing. But why did you choose the Foreign Language Department, Chinese Language major?"
Why? Li Shenglin wouldn't tell anyone...
"Never mind all that nonsense, you said you had a gift for me, where is it?"
"You come by taxi now, near XX dock YY warehouse, we two are waiting for you here!"
It's quite mysterious...
Upon arrival, Choi Ji-chong and Hong Chan-min, two people, came to greet him, "Brother, why are you late? You've frozen us to death!"
"No choice, my parents are abroad, I sent Xiaohuhu to my uncle's place, otherwise I won't feel at ease when I go out!"
Brother has changed, he's really a good father! Two gay friends sighed in admiration...
Three people arrived at the entrance of a warehouse, and as the rolling shutter door was opened with a "rattling" sound, Li Shenglin felt that his 24K gold-plated eyes were dazzled.
Stroking the three treasures in front of him like a lover, Li Shenglin felt as if his saliva was about to flow out, "These... are all gifts for me?"
Damn it! The new Ferrari 450, Porsche 997, Audi R8 are all awesome cars!
Li Shenglin, who came from another world, didn't have many hobbies. To kill time, he would either play games, browse the internet to read sports news, or look at pictures of nice cars and indulge in fantasies.
These three cars add up to almost 100 million RMB in China... what a big spender these two kids are...
"Alright, bro, three cars, one for each of us, that Ferrari is yours..."
Not bad for a car worth over 40 million soft sister coins...
Huh? How did they become so rich all of a sudden? Thinking back to the boastful words of that kid Chanmin, "Return on investment in one year", jokingly saying they would split the money, but hesitating... Li Shenglin had a bad feeling about it.
"Didn't spend less money?" Li Shenglin asked casually.
"Not much, all three cars were arranged by Zhi Zhong's uncle's company, plus the relocation fees for smoothing out relations, totaling less than 500 million!"
More than 30 million soft sister coins, indeed not many...
"Who paid the money?"
"Hey, that guy, aren't we from the same company? The company's..."
Wipe it off, take Lao Zi's money to buy a car for Lao Zi, you're awesome... However, these two kids are still quite good, Lao Zi pays the most and drives a good car, their difference is a bit...
"Never mind, it's fine like this, I really like the gift!"
It's just a small profit for half a year. Five billion becomes ten billion in one year, ten billion becomes twenty billion in two years, three years...
Li Shenglin fell into infinite daydreaming...
......
In a bar in Gangnam, Seoul, three gay friends started a long-overdue gathering and chatted.
"Hey bro, I have an uncle who used to be the CEO of JYP and now he's planning to start his own business. What do you say we join in too?"
"Is usury bad? One year turns into another!" Li Shenglin was still immersed in his own fantasy.
Hong Canmin and Cui Zhizhong were speechless. This guy is obviously very smart, but how can he still have such a naive side? So they gave him a good lesson on common sense. The high-interest loan industry has limited market share, and it's already not bad to earn 10 billion in income per year. Otherwise, the richest man in South Korea wouldn't be Lee Kun-hee of Samsung...
Li Shenglin suddenly became clear-headed, "Hehe, I was just joking. What's that JYP you mentioned earlier? Does this line of work make money?"
Two close friends were speechless again, "Brother, I give up. Didn't you also train at YG?! Don't you know the three major Korean entertainment agencies, S.M., JYP, and YG?!"
Seeing his friend's disdainful gaze, Li Shenglin also felt a bit embarrassed, "I went to be a trainee just to escape classes conveniently... where would I have the interest to pay attention to other things..."
Everyone understands the principle of knowing when to stop, "Of course this industry makes money, doesn't Dong Bang Shin Ki know?" Hong Chan-min thought he was an idiot for asking such a question. "Anyway, if a singer earns 10 billion won, the company can take away at least 8 billion won. Last year, S.M's sales were several hundred billion won!"
I'm shocked, didn't celebrities in China make a lot of money? "Is it that unfair? How did those artists agree to this?"
"It's simple, you don't sign, others will! The company can do without you, but you can't do without the company!"
Then Li Shenglin fell into fantasy again, with annual sales of hundreds of billions, wouldn't the profit be considerable? Completely forgetting that it was the first company's turnover, not Uncle Canmin's new company...
"What? You're saying those companies' financial reports have revenues of several tens of billions, but profits are only in the tens of millions?! Do you believe that?! I don't, anyway. S.M's exploitation and money-grabbing speed can only make a profit of several million soft sister coins per year, so how do other companies survive?"
Ferrari is a gift from Zhi Zhong to his family, this entertainment company was opened by Can Min's family relationship, one person gives himself a gift, what a good brother!
