Korean TV series: King of Peninsula 1997

Chapter 103 The Greedy Dragon

It turned out that Wu Yongzhu's vision had worked. Li You smiled and said, "So? This producer Li wants President Zhang to act as a lobbyist and make me decide to sell it to him at a low price?"

Zhang Shouji rubbed his hands and said, "No, even if he wants to, I'm too embarrassed to ask for it."

"He wanted to exchange his shares in SM Entertainment for the land."

Li You was speechless. This was really a good thing. As far as he knew, SM Entertainment would be able to generate hundreds of billions of won in revenue every year in a dozen years, and its market value would reach one trillion won at its peak. It was a well-deserved giant in the Korean entertainment industry.

"How many?"

Zhang Shouji gritted his teeth and held up two fingers, "Twenty percent?"

"Twenty percent?"

Zhang Shouji thought that Li You's tone indicated that he complained that the amount was too little, but in fact, Li You was a little surprised that he gave so much.

To put it bluntly, that piece of land is only worth a few billion now. Although it will increase to two or three hundred billion in the next few years, Li You believes that it is undoubtedly a big money-making deal.

Zhang Shouji himself owns 25% of SM Entertainment's shares, and Lee Soo-man now holds 75% of the shares, but the latter is determined to retain absolute control and is only willing to transfer 24% at most.

After all, it is still in its early stages and there are not as many shareholders as there will be in the future. Even Lee Soo-man himself was kicked out of SM Entertainment in the end.

He even forbade Zhang Shouji to buy it. If Zhang Shouji didn't know how capable he was, he would have asked someone to throw him off the building.

Lee Soo Man already values ​​SM Entertainment's equity very much. After all, the registered capital was only 50 million won when it was founded in 1995, and the founding capital was only 200 million won. But now he is only willing to exchange it for a quarter of the shares.

But Li You understands SM Entertainment better than him, and what a founder knows.

He was too lazy to bargain. As soon as the 24% came out, he knew it was the upper limit.

“Original shares.”

"Of course," Zhang Shouji saw Li You relax and held out his hand, "Then shall we go sign the contract tomorrow?"

"By the way, let him come and see you."

"One more thing," Li You shook his hand, "I just talked to my friend this morning about building a digital media city in Gangnam District. It seems that Apgujeong-dong is more suitable."

"That's even better," Zhang Shouji was overjoyed. He had been immersed in the entertainment industry for nearly a decade and of course he understood these new concepts, which were an important helper in publicity.

“Has any media decided to move in now?”

"Of course," Li Youxian said, "For example, Xiancheng Daily?"

"But these are things for the future. As for now," Li You's smile disappeared from his face, "we need to talk about Jiangnan and Di Xin's problems."

"Jiangnan and Di Xin?" Zhang Shouji was silent for a while, and the smile on his face also faded.

Although Zhang Shouji was obsessed with paving the way in the entertainment industry, he could not forget how he made his first pot of gold or even his tenth pot of gold. Forgetting one's roots means destruction.

"What does President Li mean?"

"Since you have already given in the first step, why not give in the second step as well?" Li You looked at him steadily.

Zhang Shouji's eyebrows twitched twice, "What does President Li's second step mean?"

"From now on, President Zhang will concentrate on developing the entertainment company," Li You said with a smile, "Does President Zhang understand?"

After a long silence, the usually cunning Zhang Shouji laughed instead, "Is Kinmen so promising? Even a young man like President Li wants to fight for a nominal position?"

He emphasized the word "nominally". Zhang Shouji, who always liked to show off, could give up the real power of Kinmen, and it would be fine for him to only run Kinmen's entertainment company at that time.

But he is a senior figure in Seoul and believes that he should be second only to Shi Dongchu in name, not to mention that he is a person who likes to show off.

"President Zhang," Li You twisted his neck, expressionless, "You have no nominal status in my office."

“Status is status.”

Zhang Shouji was somewhat frightened by the overwhelming momentum. It's not like he had never seen those vicious murderers before, but none of them had as much murderous aura as Li You. It wasn't just murderous aura, but also the aura of a superior.

Zhang Shouji has been the president of the company for more than ten years and has worked in the industry for more than twenty years. He could hear the unquestionable tone in Li You's words, as if he was giving orders to his subordinates.

Looking back, I also gained my position through force.

But surprisingly, I seemed to no longer have the courage I had when I was young to use a knife against the person who gave orders.

"President Li, why don't you go ask Chairman Shi first?" He tried to divert Li You's attention.

"He has no problem with it."

Zhang Shouji was stunned for a moment, and when he looked over, he saw that Li You's eyes were full of coldness.

"The property can be divided later, but the status must be distinguished now." Li You tapped the table with his fingers. "Li Zhongjiu has also made the first move, President Zhang."

He looked at Zhang Shouji, whose face was uncertain, and said, "I will make him give up the second step before the golden gate appears."

Even a fool can hear the determination and greed in his words.

Li You's expression changed again, and he picked up the wine glass with a smile, "But status is status, I still have to say hello when I see you on the street."

"Brother Zhang?"

"Or is it Shouji-nii?"

Zhang Shouji smiled bitterly, knowing that this was Li You giving him a way out. If he was willing, he could agree to it. If not, he could go back and wait for the people from Jiangnan Industrial to arrive.

Judging from the current situation, Li You will not follow Shi Dongchu's wishes and compete by petty fights. In all likelihood, he will really take action.

He sighed and picked up the wine glass, "Thank you, President Li, for taking care of me, an old man."

Zhang Shouji raised his head and drank the wine first.

Only then did Li You pour the wine into his mouth.

"The dishes are all here," Zhang Shouji put aside what he had just said, "President Li, please try them. They are all prepared by famous chefs that I hired."

Li You looked very much at home at the banquet. After the banquet, Zhang Shouji drunkenly saw Li You off. When he saw Li You getting into the car and leaving, the smile on his face immediately disappeared.

"Are young people nowadays so greedy?" he asked the housekeeper next to him.

Before the butler could speak, he muttered to himself, "He should be in his early twenties, right?"

"Shit. Liwen isn't much younger than him, and all he does all day is look for girls everywhere."

Zhang Shouji looked at the butler sinisterly, "Where are the others?"

“The representative should be in the company.”

Zhang Shouji turned and walked towards the car. "Besides making money, another reason I opened an entertainment company is because I enjoy it. I don't want this loser to use it as a brothel."

"Call him home." Zhang Shouji grinned, "If he doesn't come back, suspend his card." The housekeeper wiped the sweat off Zhang Liwen's forehead. Every time Zhang Shouji took the initiative to call him back, Zhang Liwen would be beaten so badly that he wouldn't be able to get out of bed for ten days.

It was obvious that Zhang Shouji was angry with Li You today, and Zhang Liwen happened to be caught in the crossfire.

Li You looked at his watch. The meal lasted from twelve to three o'clock. It would get dark earlier in winter, so it wouldn't be long before Cui Dou Ri and the others took action.

"Go directly to Dou Ri and the others."

There were quite a lot of people walking along the road. Li You looked out the window at the setting sun and asked, "How many days are left before the college entrance examination?"

"Four days, President."

"How is Li Youmo doing lately?"

Yin Xuanyou was stunned for a moment, "I have been studying with those girls. I have also arranged to tutor them during the holidays."

"Tuition?"

“Yes,” Yoon Hyunwoo said silently, “The pastor’s daughter is here too.”

"Li Sara?" Li You turned his head, slightly surprised, "She got together with Li Youmo and the others?"

After he returned to Jiangnan Industrial that day, he left the matter to Yin Xuanyou and didn't ask any more questions. After all, he had done enough for the bullied girls.

"She didn't transfer to another school?"

"No, Pastor Li called about this." Yin Xuanyou slapped his head, "I'm so sorry, President!"

"I didn't report to you in time!"

"What's his reason?" Li You didn't stop him, and the lighter in his hand clicked.

"Pastor Li said that Sarah Li would go and get their forgiveness in person."

"To express his apology, Pastor Li said he would send a few paintings over in the next two days."

A few paintings, worth hundreds of millions, were an apology for not being able to transfer his daughter to another school. After all, this was the promise Pastor Li made in front of Li You.

"You can send the painting to the gallery when the time comes."

Li You didn't care much about this kind of thing. He waved his hand and Yin Xuanyou trotted over and opened the car door.

"President!" Choi Doo-il and Seo Jong-ryul were waiting outside the car.

"Brother Xu, fight day." Li You stepped forward and embraced the two of them, "Have you never fought before?"

When Xu Zhonglie heard Li You's address, his expression was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes were filled with emotion and gratitude.

Cui Douri was so anxious that he jumped up and down, "President!"

"You have no idea! Those policemen are really like monsters!"

Xu Zhonglie coughed and said, "Dou Ri is right."

"President, just wait for a while," Cui Douri said mysteriously, "He will come again tonight to help us."

"So trustworthy?" Li You was somewhat surprised by Cui Douri's attitude. "Were you defeated?"

"What words!"

Since joining Jiangnan Industrial, Cui Dou Ri seems to have found the feeling of being in a club in high school and is no longer so depressed.

"It's just that the policeman was more ruthless than us and helped us a lot. Although we had a fight, we still know each other better after a fight."

The temporary base was in a warehouse outside the Garibong Cave, and several modified vans were parked outside the warehouse.

When Li You walked into the warehouse, the employees, who had all changed into plain clothes, were taking weapons from sacks in an orderly manner.

There are all kinds of street weapons, including baseball bats, iron machetes, etc.

"President!" The sharp-eyed employee saw Li You and hurriedly bowed his head to greet him, which caused other employees to cheer like a tsunami.

The sunlight coming through the two small windows could not illuminate the warehouse, and the lights in the warehouse were dim.

In the deepest part of the warehouse, there was an empty table that had been polished to a shine.

Li You pulled a chair over and sat down. "When are you going to start?"

"We'll be moving out at six o'clock," Cui Douri grinned. "These bastards thought we had retreated, so they'll probably be busy celebrating today."

"Ma Xidao went to find out where they will be having dinner tonight," he said with murderous intent, "We'll kill them all tonight."

Li You nodded gently, "I will go tonight too, and do a good job."

"Yes, President."

"Dou Ri!" Ma Xidao, who was as strong as a small tank, walked in quickly and saw Cui Dou Ri standing respectfully beside Li You.

Ma Xidao knew who this was as soon as his eyes turned.

He laughed and walked forward, "I didn't expect President Li to be here in person today."

Li You looked at Ma Xidao carefully. He was indeed a big man. Although he was not tall, he had broad shoulders and back. The stubble on his face made him look a little rough.

A face exactly like Zhang Dongxiu, but his dress and temperament are completely different, making him very easy to recognize.

"Have I seen President Li somewhere?"

Li You smiled and said, "Detective Ma, if you think about it carefully, you might be able to figure it out."

Seeing that Li You was unwilling to say anything, Ma Xidao simply stopped asking and told them the location he had obtained and left.

On a neon-lit night, a corner of the city was shrouded in shadow. In a narrow restaurant, dozens of core members of the Viper Gang were crowded together. They drank and insulted Jiangnan Industry happily.

"Big brother!" The employees sitting at the shared table raised their glasses, "What the hell is Li You? He's nothing but a coward!"

'Venomous Snake' Xu Yuantai grinned, "Galifeng Cave is not a place that a young man like this would dare to come to!"

The air outside was chilly, and the cold wind from the street corner blew up the scattered advertising papers on the ground. They were blown up by the wind and fluttered in the air.

A thug from the Viper Gang came out drunk to relieve himself, but he saw the smiling, fleshy face. Ma Xidao punched him without hesitation, sending him flying backwards.

The gangster flew backwards and smashed the glass of the restaurant. The sound of broken glass made the restaurant quiet for a while.

They turned around and saw that the outside of the restaurant was already filled with Jiangnan Industrial members holding various weapons.
