Financial freedom starts from graduation

Chapter 615 Have something exciting

"Sisi has already bought a plane ticket to Seoul for tomorrow morning. The international team from Yunshangyun Law Firm will be working with her there. The translator has also been chosen; she's a South Korean student, only a sophomore, but her resume is very impressive..."

On the phone, Jiang Qingkui's somewhat aloof voice rang out as she reported, while Zhou Wang on the other side rocked back and forth in his executive chair, listening casually.

"Qingkui, you seem a little angry with me?"

When Jiang Qingkui was halfway through her sentence, Zhou Wang suddenly interrupted her.

Jiang Qingkui paused for a moment, then said calmly, "President Zhou, you're overthinking it. How could I dare to be angry with someone as powerful and influential as you?"

Upon hearing Jiang Qingkui's sarcastic tone, Zhou Wang knew that his prediction was correct, and he quickly smiled ingratiatingly:

"After all, it was an international acquisition. I wasn't really sure at the time. What if I told you and it didn't work out? Wouldn't that make me a laughing stock? That's why I didn't tell you beforehand... Well, actually, I didn't expect it to actually work out."

Zhou Wang knew he was guaranteed to succeed, since the system dared to deduct one yuan from his WeChat balance, which meant the item had already taken effect.

[One Yuan Acquisition Card (Intermediate): After use, you can spend one yuan to forcibly acquire any property with a total value not exceeding 1,000,000,000 yuan]

The range from beginner to intermediate is from 10 million to 1 billion.

The price was that Zhou Wang spent 200 million reputation points to exchange for this item card. Because of the online controversy, his reputation points were already dropping rapidly, and this extravagance would almost reduce them to three digits.

However, the effect of using the props, combined with videos featuring the character wearing the "Jin's Stage Costume," is immediate.

His reputation points, which were almost zero, are now skyrocketing at an unprecedented rate. Just over an hour has passed since BlackPink Studio deleted the post and publicly apologized to "Mr. Zhou of China" for a "serious misunderstanding," but Zhou Wang's reputation points have already recovered to six figures.

Based on this trend, it seems that he can recover the two million reputation points he spent in the next day or two at most, and may even make a profit.

Although it was a sudden negative event, given BlackPink's influence, Zhou Wang, who was associated with the topic, stayed on Weibo's trending topics list for almost the entire day. If before, Zhou Wang was just a "celebrity tycoon" known to a certain number of people within a specific circle, then after this day's widespread fame, Zhou Wang's domestic popularity is almost comparable to that of Qin Gongzi and Wang Gongzi...

While it may not be as exaggerated as "everyone knows him," most internet users have probably already remembered his name.

The only positive thing is that there aren't many video or audio recordings of Zhou Wang online, so perhaps after a while, many people will forget about him.

Furthermore, it is foreseeable that his Douyin fans will surge in the next week to two weeks, an effect that he may not have been able to achieve even after several months of operation.

The surge in Douyin's fans will bring Zhou Wang another potential benefit... Douyin's [Share Fragment Gift Pack].

In short, this operation has brought too many benefits, both overt and covert, to be described as "a sure thing."

After experiencing that feeling of his IQ operating at breakneck speed, Zhou Wang even wanted to wear the [Yone's Devil Mask] at all times. Fortunately, he was still clear-headed and knew that the cost of the side effects was unbearable, so he stopped himself from having that thought in time.

"You didn't expect it to work?"

Faced with Zhou Wang's seemingly sincere explanation, Jiang Qingkui still spoke with a sarcastic tone, "To be able to cross national borders and acquire a well-known industry giant in the entertainment industry in just one day, how many connections would you need to make, and how much manpower and resources would you need to spend? Is this something that can be done on a whim?"

"And you, who have been quietly brewing this plan for who knows how long, are now telling me that you are not actually very confident. It seems that in President Zhou's eyes, I, Jiang Qingkui, am really as easy to fool as a three-year-old child!"

Oh no, I forgot that Jiang Qingkui isn't just a brainless pretty face!

But Zhou Wang really couldn't explain it. He couldn't very well tell Jiang Qingkui that such a seemingly unbelievable thing was actually accomplished in just one day...

This matter even alarmed Wang Ruxi, who just made a phone call to Zhou Wang, implying that it wasn't out of curiosity on his part, but rather because two departments specializing in foreign affairs and commerce wanted to know the details.

Although it attracted more attention, this aspect was easy to handle. A simple explanation was all that was needed to deal with Wang Ruxi... After all, Zhou Wang had "brought glory to the country" in this respect.

"If you were really that easy to fool, your parents would be with you at the OB-GYN right now for your prenatal checkup..."

Zhou Wang muttered to himself.

"What...what nonsense are you spouting?"

As Zhou Wang steered the conversation toward something more ambiguous, Jiang Qingkui indeed lost her composure and could no longer remain calm. Instead, she spoke with some embarrassment and annoyance.

"Sister Qingkui, to be honest, after all this time of uncertainty, are you really going to keep dragging this on with me like this?"

Zhou Wang suddenly spoke in a tone that was both sighing and full of emotion.

Returning to this topic, Jiang Qingkui couldn't help but recall that night at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel in Shanghai.

Time and time again she indulged herself, time and time again she ran away... How long can she keep running away?

But now, she clearly couldn't answer Zhou Wang's question either.

With such a high opinion of herself and such outdated fantasies about love, how could she tolerate her partner being a womanizer...?

Even though Zhou Wang seems to have no obvious flaws other than being a womanizer.

Jiang Qingkui couldn't refuse Zhou Wang, nor could she convince herself. She was trapped in this vicious cycle. Even though her resistance was decreasing over time, she still couldn't say "okay."

So, just as Zhou Wang had expected, Jiang Qingkui coldly said, "I don't understand what you're saying. I need to rest," and then hurriedly hung up the phone.

A smile appeared on Zhou Wang's lips.

This tactic worked as well as ever, and sure enough, Jiang Qingkui instantly forgot her anger.

Unfortunately, Zhou Wang himself didn't know how long this tactic could last...

When Jiang Qingkui starts to face the issues in their relationship and puts everything out in the open, Zhou Wang might find it harder to handle.

After all, Jiang Qingkui is different from other women. The two families are too close. Zhou Wang will have to deal with more than just Jiang Qingkui.

However, Zhou Wang felt that he didn't have enough leverage to bind Jiang Qingkui at the moment, so he didn't dare to push things too fast. He was walking a tightrope, and he would deal with it when he couldn't hold on any longer...

This is also why he hesitated to actually eat Jiang Qingkui.

Rubbing his temples, Zhou Wang turned on the computer in his study and briefly looked at the detailed information about YG Entertainment that Yunshangyun Law Firm had sent him not long ago.

"BigBang is also under YG Entertainment?" Zhou Wang asked, somewhat surprised.

He never followed celebrities, so naturally he didn't know much about YG Entertainment, which was based in South Korea. After looking at the company's development history, he realized that he had underestimated this industry giant that had been deeply rooted in South Korea for nearly 30 years.

After reviewing the company's information more closely, I found that as a listed company, YG Entertainment's market capitalization is currently between 3000 billion and 4000 billion Korean won, which is equivalent to about 2 to 3 million US dollars, based on recent stock market fluctuations.

Zhou Wang's "Industry Acquisition Card" did not acquire all of YG Entertainment's shares, but rather approximately 60%.

The 60% figure is not due to exceeding the system's capabilities, but rather to real-world limitations.

While such a leading entertainment company may not be considered a vital industry for a country, the South Korean government would not allow a foreigner to completely control it.

In fact, Zhou Wang's ability to acquire controlling stake was already quite remarkable, which was the biggest reason for Jiang Qingkui's shock.

According to the corporate structure of South Korea, Zhou Wang, who owns 60% of the shares, automatically becomes the chairman of YG Entertainment, which is equivalent to the chairman of the board of directors of a domestic company, that is, the highest leader of the entire company.

Although Zhou Wang wasn't particularly interested in being the president, he couldn't find a suitable person to take over his position in the short term, so he had no choice but to make do for now.

However, he had already issued instructions to YG Entertainment to keep quiet for the time being, so the news of Zhou Wang becoming the chairman of YG Entertainment did not reach China, otherwise it would probably have caused another uproar.

The secrecy was entirely for the sake of public opinion; otherwise, people might question whether Zhou Wang used his power to silence the four BlackPink girls.

Zhou Wang quickly flipped through it again.

Aside from BigBang, the only other artist Zhou Wang recognized from YG Entertainment's current lineup was Somi (Jeon Somi). He remembered her mainly because of the singer's hot, tall figure and striking, elegant appearance...

Other major artists that Zhou Wang wasn't very familiar with, but judging from the introductions, many of them could be considered top-tier artists. In addition, YG Entertainment has more than five brokerage and modeling agencies, controlling tens of thousands of idol trainees, aspiring models, and video streamers. It can be described as a large and powerful company with a complete industry chain, truly deserving of its reputation as a dominant force in the Korean entertainment industry.

After his trip to Australia, Zhou Wang planned to visit South Korea. He didn't like holding grudges and was really looking forward to seeing BlackPink's expression when they saw him...

Then I met up with my senior.

After that, we need to prepare for the fourth round of action.

However, this unexpected turn of events has made him a celebrity, so perhaps he can change his plans to make the fourth round of action easier.

After planning his upcoming schedule, Zhou Wang came to his senses when the clock on the wall had already struck 11 p.m.

Zhou Wang had spent almost the entire day sitting in his study. Although he got up and moved around a few times, he spent most of his time keeping an eye on the latest news online. Now that he was feeling relaxed, he was inexplicably wide awake, even though he was a little tired.

By the way, I wonder what the four girls are doing...

After negotiating the terms and temporarily appeasing the four girls, Zhou Wang stopped paying attention to their activities. The study was well soundproofed, so Zhou Wang had no idea what they were doing at that moment.

He got up and walked out of the study. The living room was brightly lit, but the four girls were nowhere to be seen.

Zhou Wang wandered around, somewhat puzzled, because he couldn't see them in either of the guest rooms. However, he could see a lot of clothes and cosmetics scattered on the bed and in the suitcases, as if they had tidied themselves up there.

"Goed out to play again?"

Zhou Wang checked his phone but didn't find any messages from Su Yajing. Just as he was wondering what was going on, he suddenly heard a faint laugh, which seemed to be coming from the direction of the master bedroom.

Did they go into my room?
Seeing the light coming through the crack in the master bedroom door, Zhou Wang walked over curiously, and without knocking, he simply turned the doorknob and went inside.

The master bedroom of the presidential suite is naturally incredibly luxurious, comparable to a suite in a regular hotel, complete with a separate bathroom, dressing room, living room, large terrace, and bathtub.

Zhou Wang walked through the porch and looked up. He saw four girls sitting around a coffee table in the living room near the terrace. On the table were several bottles of foreign liquor, about ten bottles of beer, and a lot of snacks and melon seeds.

Empty wine bottles were scattered on the wooden floor to the side, indicating that the four girls had been drinking for quite some time before he came in.

They were talking about something, and everyone seemed relaxed and happy. When they heard the door open, the four girls turned around at the same time and then had different reactions.

Yu Duo blushed and lowered her head, seemingly thinking of something, and even let out a soft hum. Cui Min'er subconsciously stood up, as if to greet Zhou Wang. Shen Yutong secretly glanced at Zhou Wang, her eyes full of tenderness. Su Yaqing took the lead and ran towards Zhou Wang with a grin.

"Brother, are you finally done with your work?"

"What are you..."

Zhou Wang embraced Su Yaqing's slender waist as she rushed into his arms, and asked at the same time.

"We came to the master bedroom because we were worried that we would disturb you in the living room, and the night view is prettier here."

Su Yaqing explained with a grin, her body twisting slightly as if she were not quite sure what was going on.

Zhou Wang immediately sensed something was wrong.

At this moment, Su Yajing was wearing a light blue tank top and white hot pants. It was still not cold in December in Australia, and with indoor air conditioning, there was nothing wrong with what she was wearing. However, Zhou Wang clearly felt that "something" was wrong.

Looking down, Zhou Wang could see a patch of snow-white skin through the gap in her hesitant neckline, and he immediately realized... this girl wasn't wearing an inner layer!

Because the other three girls were still watching, Zhou Wang could only suppress his surging blood and qi, and was led by Su Yajing to the coffee table.

As Zhou Wang got closer, he noticed that the other three girls' outfits, though seemingly casual, all exuded a strange sexiness, and they were all wearing makeup... Everywhere he looked, there were snow-white shoulders, slender waists, and long legs, making it hard not to be tempted.

"Brother, play games with us... Now that you're here, some people have no excuse to cheat, hmph!"

"What game are you playing?"

Su Yaqing chuckled, leaned close to Zhou Wang's ear, gently licked his earlobe, and said in a very hot voice:

"Exciting..."
