China Entertainment: I became a capital tycoon

Chapter 818 816. Boss Cao is one of the top five tycoons? Boss Cao wants to create China's "Game of Thrones"

"OPPA, did nothing really happen between you and Kim Tae Hee just now?"

On the way back from Kim Tae-hee's wedding in the car, Song Hye-kyo finally couldn't help but ask this question.

"How is that possible? I said I would avenge you."

Cao Yu knew clearly that Rain already knew about this, so it seemed that it was not impossible for them to break up.

"I think you are just seeking revenge. You just think Tae Hee is pretty."

Song Hye Kyo laughed and said, "Rain and I only had a scandal because of Full House, that was many years ago, we actually have nothing to do with each other."

"Whether there is one or not, I don't like rain."

"Is it because of me?"

"That's it."

"OPPA takes me so seriously?"

Cao Yu's sweet talk made Song Hye Kyo feel happy, but she sneered, "How are you going to deal with Kim Tae Hee? Are you going to play around with her, or keep her for a long time?"

"Have that thought, my woman, that's mine."

"You're so possessive."

"Haha, what's wrong? Are you scared? Do you regret following me?"

"No regrets."

"That's good. Help me find out Kim Tae Hee's phone number in the next two days."

Cao Yu sent Song Hye Kyo home and went to find Lee Boo Jin.

Having a baby is one thing, but spending time with your wife and son is more important.

Now, Youle.com, which is owned by Fuyu Group, is already the largest online shopping platform in South Korea. Coupled with the booming live streaming sales on Tok Tik, the requirements for logistics are getting higher and higher.

Therefore, he asked Lee Boo-jin to transfer part of the logistics business to Kim Tae-hee's father's company.

This also lets Kim Tae-hee know her own strength.

Just this little bit of business alone brings in tens of billions of won every year.

Fu Yu Group makes at least hundreds of billions of won in profits every year through live streaming sales.

At the table, the two of them were eating and chatting about company matters: "Dear, our online bank license has just been approved. From now on, we can issue credit cards and engage in loan business."

"Great!"

Cao Yu was overjoyed, this was a sharp weapon for cutting corn and leeks.

Young people in Korea advocate high consumption and pre-consumption. Credit cards are a means to maintain their consumption, and this business is extremely profitable.

Although Fu Yu Group has a mobile payment business, the business approval for credit cards and loans was only put forward not long ago in September last year. Unexpectedly, it was approved in just half a year.

It seems that Ms. Park is returning the favor.

He smiled and said, "Fuzhen, what is the current market value of our Fuyu Group?"

"you guess?"

Fuyu Group was jointly established by Cao Yu and Lee Boo Jin, with Cao Yu holding a 39% stake.

Although Lee Boo-jin is the CEO and nominal president, she actually only holds 31% of the shares. The remaining shares are partly owned by shareholders and a small part by foreign capital.

The company's annual profit is more than 3 billion US dollars.

Although old chaebols such as Samsung have high profits, most of them are reaped by Wall Street tycoons.

Most of the profits of Fu Yu Group belong to Cao Yu and Li Fuzhen.

By this calculation, it is not an exaggeration to say that Lee Boo-jin is already the richest person in South Korea.

Now that it has the business of issuing credit cards and granting loans, the company's revenue and scale will definitely reach a higher level.

Hearing Lee Boo-jin's suspense, Cao Yu asked with a smile, "Is the market value now 50 billion US dollars?"

"Hehe, you are so conservative."

"keep?"

Cao Yu usually feels very confident about Lee Boo-jin and only occasionally pays attention to the financial situation. In 2015, the market value of Fu Yu Group was less than billion US dollars.

Could it be that the price has increased by 20 billion US dollars in just over a year?

Lee Boo-jin smiled, then wrote a number on Cao Yu's palm with her finger.

"Sixty-three billion?"

Cao Yu was surprised when he saw this number.

Lee Fuzhen is so capable. Not only did he launch live streaming and live streaming sales, mobile payment, and acquired YG Entertainment last year, but the Fu Yu World Tower was also put into use.

In addition, the game "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" has become popular all over the world, but its market value has increased too fast.

The company's market value increased by 20 billion US dollars in one year. This is amazing.

"Haha, you have a good vision. You merged many functions into ChatOn. The market share of this social software in South Korea and South Korea has reached 91%, while SK's Kakao has less than 10%."

Lee Boo-jin smiled and said, "After we launch our credit card loan business, I will invest in a few more industries. Our market value will be at least 80 billion US dollars."

"You are really my good wife."

Although Cao Yu has more money than he can spend, of course the more money the better.

If it really reaches 80 billion US dollars, it will surpass SK Group and be only 20 billion less than the fourth-ranked chaebol LG.

By then, it will definitely become one of the top five chaebols.

In this way, Fu Yu Group alone can bring more than 30 billion US dollars to his net worth.

"I'm going to be one of the top five chaebols? It's really exciting just thinking about it!"

Cao Yu felt that he had made the right decision to date this woman.

It seems that I have to treat this strong woman well tonight.

While Cao Yu was busy showing affection with Lee Boo-jin, Kim Tae-hee returned home alone after a tiring day.

It was not her and Rain’s home, but the home where she grew up.

"Tae Hee, why did you come back alone?"

When her parents saw their daughter coming back with a blank look on her face, they asked curiously, "Aren't you supposed to be with Ji-hoon today? Did you have a fight?"

"Dad, don't ask. I don't want to talk about this."

Kim Tae-hee leaned weakly on the chair.

She wanted to break up with Rain today, but when the words came to her lips, she didn't know how to start.

"I don't want to say forget it."

Kim Tae-hee's father thought it was just a quarrel between young people and it would be fine after a while.

He asked someone to lick a pair of bowls and chopsticks for his daughter, and said with a smile: "I have good news for you. Fuyu Group contacted me today and said they want to cooperate in the logistics business. I will sign a contract with them tomorrow. As long as we can reach a cooperative relationship with Fuyu Group, our annual performance will increase by at least 10 billion won."

"Fuyu Group?"

When Kim Tae-hee heard the name, the handsome and strong man suddenly appeared in her mind.

She now knows that Rain is dating her probably because of her family background, otherwise he wouldn't have said such words today.

Chairman Cao did not say that he would take care of his own family, but quietly transferred the business to him.

Comparing the two, President Cao seems more reliable.

"I won't eat it."

Kim Tae-hee stood up and returned to her room. After hesitating for a while, she looked at the sky and prayed, "Lord, please forgive me. I can't marry him."

After that, she took out her cell phone and without hesitation, sent a message to her future husband Rain: "Let's break up."

Rain didn't stay in the hotel today. After all, he heard such noises during the day. Although he didn't mind, he couldn't help feeling uncomfortable.

When I got home and saw that Kim Tae-hee hadn't come back, I was about to call her when I saw this message.

"Break up? Why?"

"No reason, our fate has ended. As for your company's affairs, I will try my best to help you. That's it. Goodbye!"

After sending this message, Kim Tae-hee turned off her phone and buried her head in the quilt.

Soon, she recalled the scene during the day when she was pressed on the sofa amidst the flower petals all over the floor.

The feeling of being in a fairyland made her face turn red and her legs twisted together unnaturally.
On the same day, news appeared online that FNC Chairman Cho and Song Hye Kyo appeared together at Jung Ji-hoon's wedding.

The news said that Chairman Cho was suspected to be in a relationship with Song Hye Kyo.

But Cao Yu didn't care about this news at all.

A celebrity without scandals is not really a celebrity.

Besides, Korean journalists believe everything they hear. They don’t have any solid evidence, so what are they afraid of?
However, it did improve Song Hye Kyo's status in the Korean entertainment industry a lot.

It's an honor to be suspected of dating Chairman Cao.

For the next three days, Cao Yu was busy preparing for several company and party matters and did not look for Kim Tae-hee.

This party was organized for T-ARA and Girls' Generation. Everyone got together for dinner, ate barbecue, sang, danced, and performed Shaolin Kung Fu.

Finally, practice yoga together.

The gathering place is located at the golf course in Xingzhou.

However, he still asked Song Hye Kyo for Kim Tae Hee's contact information and sent a message to invite her to arrive on time.

As to whether he could arrive or not, he was not sure yet.

Before holding the party, she negotiated the copyright and broadcasting issues of "Knowing Your Destiny" with KBS TV station and made two small profits.

At the same time, he is also busy with the company's new boy and girl groups.

T-ARA is going to disband, and FNC must launch a new girl group to fill the gap left behind.

Lee Soo-man has almost made preparations for this matter and has also provided several options for the name of the new girl group.

Cao Yu finally chose Red Velvet, a band he had listened to before.

Talented people emerge in every generation, and girl groups also need to be updated and iterated.

BLACKPINK is now the most popular group in the Korean music scene, having completely replaced Girls' Generation's former position.

If no new girl group is launched after T-ARA disbands, JYP's TWICE might come from behind.

No one in FNC wants this to happen.

In terms of boy groups, FNC Entertainment has also launched NCT in the past two years. Together with previous boy groups such as EXO and WINNER, they still occupy nearly 40% of the market share in the music industry.

The reason why Cao Yu has not taken action against JYP now is mainly because he does not want to, and cannot, really monopolize the music industry.

If you, a Chinese, really monopolize the Korean entertainment industry, you will really become the target of public criticism.

However, in recent years, FNC Entertainment has been the first to select good trainee seedlings.

In mid-March, although the azaleas in other parts of Korea have not yet bloomed, they are already in full bloom in the valley of Seongju. The mountains around the golf course are all red.

Just after noon, luxury cars stopped in front of the stadium.

The cars of Girls' Generation and T-ARA were all given by Cao Yu. They are all Mercedes-Benz sports cars, colorful and look very cool.

Cao Yu brought this group of girls to the stadium. Before he changed his clothes, he suddenly saw a woman sitting on a chair on the stadium.

The wind blew the woman's long hair, making her look graceful and charming. It was none other than Kim Tae-hee.

"She really came, and she didn't tell me in advance?"

When Cao Yu saw this woman, he asked the other girls to change their clothes first and walked towards Kim Tae-hee alone.

"Chairman Cao Cao."

Kim Tae Hee also noticed Cao Yu at this time, stood up, hesitated for a moment, and ran over and hugged Cao Yu: "You are finally here."

This scene stunned T-ARA and Girls' Generation.

When did OPPA become good friends with Kim Tae Hee?

Isn't she married?
They didn't know and didn't dare to ask.

It’s just that OPPA is so good at picking up girls that he can even snatch away women who are about to get married.

"I am coming."

Cao Yu didn't expect that after not seeing this woman for a few days, she would be so bold as to hug him in front of other women.

"I miss you so much. I broke up with that person."

After Kim Tae-hee sent that message to Rain, the two had a big fight and said many nasty things.

This directly broke Kim Tae-hee's heart.

She also found out a lot about President Cao through her friends.

Although there wasn't much information, the more I inquired, the more I missed the man who brought me bliss.

When I saw Cao Yu again today, I couldn't help but miss him so much that I didn't even want to mention Rain's name.

Now in Kim Tae-hee's heart, Rain is so effeminate that he is not a real man at all.

"It's better to break up. Follow me from now on and I will love you well."

Having conquered the Korean goddess in this way, Cao Yu felt quite accomplished.

“I want it now”

Although Kim Tae-hee's voice was low, her eyes were already filled with moisture.

It was because of that life-or-death feeling that she had been thinking about it these days.

"Come with me!"

Although Kim Tae-hee did not wear a wedding dress this time, she was very proactive, so proactive that even Cao Yu was surprised.

Sure enough, mature women are the best.

No wonder there are so many thieves in this world.

After finishing, Kim Tae Hee said to Cao Yu happily: "Dear, thank you for helping my dad."

"Of course I will help him even if you don't follow me."

Cao Yu was very satisfied this time, and it could be said that he had a very enjoyable time.

"So what are you going to do to Rain?"

"What do you want me to do?"

"After all, I've been dating him for a while, so I'll help if I can. If you don't want to, that's fine too."

"For your sake, I will invest some money in him."

Investing in Zheng Zhixun's small company was not a big deal for Cao Yu.

However, the fact that Kim Tae-hee did not abandon her old love shows that she is a good woman. Based on this point, Cao Yu felt that he had not made a mistake in choosing her.

Besides, holding more entertainment companies will not be bad for his career in Korea and South Korea.

This is what he did in China.

If it really doesn't work, sign a bet agreement and make Zheng Zhixun the best worker, and then slowly reap the benefits from him.

Outside, poor T-ARA and Girls' Generation were playing ball while waiting. It took more than two hours before their OPPA came out of the room.

"Hello, senior!"

According to the Korean hierarchy, more than a dozen girls had to bow to Kim Tae-hee, who was blushing and looking satisfied.

But I was thinking in my heart, actually we are the predecessors and you are the latecomer.

Playing ball and barbecuing, the party was lively.

From then on, Cao Yu had another good helper on the Korean side.

Compared with Girls' Generation and T-ARA, Kim Tae-hee comes from a merchant family and has a certain talent for business. Cao Yu directly arranged her to be the vice president of FNC's film and television department.

Jin Guangzhu was originally sent by CJ Entertainment. Now that he has cashed out a large amount of CJ Entertainment shares, the FNC Film and Television Department must place his confidants there.

At the end of March, I auditioned for the movie "Now on My Way to You".

The heroine of this drama is a housewife who has lost all her memories and regains her memories with the memories and care of her family.

Although the plot is a bit cliché, the script is good and requires a woman with superb acting skills to play the role.

During the audition, Cao Yu met Son Ye-jin again, who made a good impression on him.

During this period, Chairman Cao, who was obsessed with mature women, saw this woman and was reminded of Da Baiyuan in the movie "Going Out". He actually wanted to play with the unspoken rules.

Who let Kim Tae-hee open up his Ren and Du meridians?

After the audition, Cao Yu gave the female lead of the movie to Son Ye-jin and called her to his office.

"It's quite pretty."

Cao Yu leaned on the sofa in the office, looking at this woman who was the same age as him and equally mature and charming.

Son Ye-jin was wearing a tight long skirt today. The snow-white clothes wrapped her tightly, revealing her extremely hot and proud figure. Her chest was firm, her waist was slender, and her buttocks looked very charming against the tight clothes.

Son Ye-jin felt embarrassed by being stared at, and asked, "Chairman Cho, you asked me to come here, do you have any advice for me?"

"I want you to join our company, how about that?"

"Haha, President Cao is so kind to me, but I'm already an old woman. Shouldn't President Cao pay attention to young people?"

"I like your maturity."

Cao Yu did not hide his inner hobby: "I have seen many movies you acted in, and I admire you very much. What do you think? Do you want to join FNC?"

"Should I say I'm honored?"

Son Ye-jin was somewhat reluctant to hear this obvious hint, but she did not dare to get angry. She whispered, "If Chairman Cao just wants to take advantage of a young artist like me, I can satisfy you. But you asked me to join FNC. Are you planning to support me? I am old and do not want to be supported by others."

"It has character, I like it."

Cao Yu smiled and lifted up Son Ye-jin's chin: "I plan to lure you away first and then capture you."

That night, he couldn't help but sigh that being a chaebol in Korea was really great.

After being seduced, Son Ye-jin finally accepted her fate of being kept by this chaebol and agreed to join FNC to help Boss Cao train artists.

In Korea and South Korea, artists born in the 80s are better at acting than the new generation. Only when the old bring the new together can a company develop further in the long run.

Now Song Hye Kyo, Jun Ji Hyun, Kim Tae Hee, and Son Ye Jin all look about the same.

It’s a pity that Song Hye Kyo is always thinking about having children and has no ambition to work at all.

Time quickly came to mid-April, and T-ARA's first farewell concert will be held in Tokyo.

Over the past month, thanks to Cao Yu's hard work, six women, Song Hye Kyo, Kim Taeyeon, Choi Sulli, Lee Joo Ri, Park Hyo Min, and Park Ji Yeon, all became pregnant.

That’s not all, even Kim Tae-hee became pregnant because of the wedding.

This time, Chairman Cao’s shooting skills were very accurate and he hit the target with one shot.

Is this the rhythm of giving birth to Calabash Brothers?

If the top leaders in South Korea and South Korea knew about this, they would probably give him an award to reward him for his great contribution to the population growth of South Korea and South Korea.

As both of his women were pregnant, Cao Yu had no choice but to reduce the original five farewell concerts to three.

The first one is in Tokyo, the second one is in Taiwan, and the last one is in Seoul.

Although this resulted in a considerable loss of income, Cao Yu had no other choice. He couldn't let the three of them perform on stage with big bellies.

Over the past month, Cao Yu has been busy with his work in Korea and South Korea. On April 10, he took T-ARA to Tokyo for their first concert.

T-ARA was formed in 07, and it has been a full decade since then. They have also been popular for ten years and have always been known as the most versatile girl group in the Korean music scene.

Their influence is no less than that of Girls' Generation, and they have countless fans in various East Asian countries.

Now that T-ARA is disbanding, fans are naturally reluctant to see them go. When they heard that there would only be three farewell concerts, they spared no expense and flew to Tokyo from all over the place.

This caused the ticket price, which originally ranged from US$300 to US$1, to be raised to more than US$5,000 per ticket, and the price was still rising.

"Tickets for the Busan show start at $500!"

In this situation, if he doesn’t make a profit in the end, he wouldn’t be Chairman Cao.

Cao Yu sent T-ARA to FNC's Tokyo branch, but he himself returned to Kyoto and spent his time drinking and partying with a few Japanese girls.

In China, Cao Yu sometimes has to restrain himself.

But in Korea, South Korea and Japan, he has always liked to let himself go.

Although he was so happy with the Sakura girl that he didn't want to leave, he was actually thinking about one thing in his mind, which was to prepare to adapt "Mercenary World" into a film and television series.

"Mercenary World" is a novel completed in 07 and has a good fan base.

Moreover, in recent years, this novel has the highest readership on Singularity’s English platform, so it is completely possible to film it.

Moreover, the novel has a grand setting, spanning more than 20,000 years, and is known as China's "A Song of Ice and Fire."

However, for general entertainment companies, it is quite difficult to adapt a film or TV series into a movie, especially because it requires huge investment in special effects and scene design.

But for Boss Cao, is money a problem?

You people in other countries can film "Game of Thrones" and "The Hobbit", so why can't we film similar novels?

Although this novel is a Western fantasy, many of its core elements are in line with Chinese values. If it is well-made and becomes a hit, it can be regarded as an export of Chinese culture.

Although Cao Yu can fully bear these investments on his own, it is still necessary to attract some investors.

At least when it is broadcast, there will be several investors promoting it together, and the effect will be better.

Therefore, he plans to film this drama together with China, Japan and the United States.

On the Japanese side, of course, there is Toho, which has its own TV station and has always had a pleasant cooperation with us.
