Korean TV series: King of Peninsula 1997

Chapter 195 Worms

After returning to his office in the building, Li You immediately called Park Huichang without saying anything.

As soon as Park Huichang received Li You's call, he immediately rushed to the Kinmen Real Estate Building. From the moment he stepped into Li You's office, he showed a respectful attitude without any overstepping.

He knew that he had entered the power center of Golden Gate Real Estate. His eyes quickly swept over every item in the room, but he seemed afraid to linger for too long.

He remained politely silent as his breathing quickened slightly.

Also called by Li You was Zheng Zaizhong, who is now based in the Kinmen Real Estate Building. He and his men are responsible for guarding the top two floors.

Zheng Zaizhong seemed more at ease when he came in. He stood obediently beside Park Huichang, knowing that Li You had another job for him to do with a knife or a gun.

Li You stared at Park Huichang in front of him, "What projects are Jinmen Entertainment currently working on?"

Park Huichang nodded and said, "Thanks to the guidance of SM Entertainment's producer Li, Jinmen Entertainment's current project planning has already begun."

“Just starting to plan?”

Li You frowned, "What about the others that have already started operation?"

Park Huichang's face was a little stiff. "In fact, the scale of Golden Gate Entertainment is now quite large. During the merger period, it also absorbed a lot of other companies. The current profits are all brought by the ongoing projects of these companies."

Li You knew this. In the month when Kinmen Group was integrating its industries, Kinmen Entertainment absorbed countless companies, large and small.

These include some management companies that own some well-known artists, as well as film and television studios and music studios.

The ongoing projects of these companies, as well as the grants from the Golden Gate Group, together support the current Golden Gate Entertainment.

While it seems that the department is full of talented people, it does seem that it is huge and bloated. Li You raised his eyebrows and asked, "Are there any plans to lay off employees?"

Park Huichang was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly, "I have discussed the need for layoffs with some shareholders with voting rights in Golden Gate Entertainment, but..."

"They were all blocked. These shareholders were the presidents or veterans of the previous companies. They stuffed a lot of people into Golden Gate Entertainment."

Park Huichang glanced at Li You's face and said, "There are many unknown small artists who are their lovers. They found excuses to get them in, and spent a lot of resources on them."

Park Huichang's words echoed in the office. Li You's face was a little gloomy. He knew about the matter of praising lovers, but he didn't expect that people from these small companies would dare to do this in Kinmen.

He stared through the French window at the hustle and bustle of traffic outside.

"I didn't expect that after I handed Kinmen Entertainment over to you, they would really think that Kinmen Entertainment is their backyard," Li You's voice was filled with anger.

Park Huichang lowered his head and dared not speak. He could feel Li You's anger.

Li You's fingers tapped lightly on the table. The atmosphere in the room was tense and heavy.

"How many resources were wasted by the people they crammed in?" Li You lowered his eyes and looked at the table.

"Quite a lot." Park Huichang hesitated for a moment, then told the truth, "Those presidents and elders spared no effort in promoting people."

“Is this the Golden Gate Entertainment you run?”

Park Huichang lowered his head and said nothing, his face filled with fear. He knew his own worth.

Shi Dongchu thought that Park Huichang later defected to Li You, but Park Huichang knew that he had been working for Li You from the beginning.

No, it cannot be said that he was working for Li You. It can only be said that he was a tool used by Li You to control Kinmen Entertainment. Li You could kill him unclearly at any time.

"What else?" Li You sighed, realizing that he had been careless.

I thought Park Huichang was also a veteran in running entertainment companies. Even if his abilities were insufficient, he would be able to lead Kinmen Entertainment to progress little by little by following the route he had planned.

Now it seems that after following Zhang Shouji, he probably didn’t even know how to help others.

"There are also some idle positions in some departments," Park Huichang crossed his hands between his thighs, "many of these idle positions are unnecessary, but the people in these positions are their relatives."

Li You frowned slightly. After he exhaled, he suddenly asked Park Huichang, "Did you receive the money?"

Park Huichang's face changed drastically, and he waved his hands repeatedly, "Chairman Nim, I will confiscate it."

"Then tell me," Li You stared at him, "Who are the most outrageous people?"

Park Huichang bit his lip, his hesitant expression disappeared in an instant, and he quickly called out three names.

Those names seemed to roll back and forth on the tip of his tongue several times, and had obviously rolled over in his mind countless times.

"Their entertainment company was a relatively large company before it was merged into Kinmen, and it brought more projects and profits, so they..."

At the end, Park Huichang didn't know how to describe it.

"Be more arrogant," Li You threw him a pen and paper, "Write your name and address down."

Park Huichang wrote his name honestly and handed the note to Zheng Zaizhong at Li You's signal.

Li You gently spun the silver lighter in his hand. "You should all be aware of what happened in the Kinmen Group recently. Li Zhongjiu, Ding Qing, and some middle-level employees were arrested."

"The Golden Gate Group has an undercover agent, do you understand?"

Zheng Zaizhong narrowed his eyes and nodded quickly, "I understand, President Nim."

"Go get ready if you understand," Li You waved his hand outside, "Remember to clean it up."

It was not until Zheng Zaizhong left that Park Huichang reacted. His expression changed several times, "Chairman Nim, this..."

Li You said coldly, "It's either them or you."

His words made Park Huichang pale. Li You stopped looking at him and said, "After you go back, inform them that there will be a meeting of Jinmen Entertainment tomorrow. Those who don't come will bear the consequences themselves."

Park Huichang bent down, lowered his head, and nodded repeatedly.

Li You narrowed his eyes and thought about the candidates for a while. He really had a headache.

They have a bunch of fighting men under them, and asking them to do real estate business may be difficult. Now that they have finally adapted to the business, I am afraid they will not be able to do well if they are transferred again.

As he was thinking, the phone rang. Li You glanced at the note on the phone number and then answered it.

"Representative Chen?"

The person Li You called Representative Chen was naturally Chen Daojun. Chen Daojun was smiling and sounded like he was in a good mood.

Naturally, he also brought good news to Li You. With the cooperation of publicity and practicality, Taowu delivery was naturally well received.

Chen Daojun did not choose to directly expand the delivery range to the whole of Seoul. After all, his current focus is on secretly selecting talents to develop a payment platform.

In addition to the three districts of Gangnam, Taowu Delivery has now selected university campuses in Seoul as delivery areas.

First, recruit these young people who can keep up with the trend of the times as loyal customers.

"Good choice," Li You nodded, "but what about the R&D talent for the payment platform?"

"They are easy to find," Chen Daojun smiled. "Miracle already has a large number of financial professionals. I asked them to resign from Miracle and come directly to Taowu to re-sign the contract. Now we are mainly looking for some professional computer talents."

Li You nodded, Chen Daojun’s approach was indeed good.

He casually asked Chen Daojun if there was anyone suitable to run an entertainment company.

Chen Daojun raised his eyebrows and thought for a moment, his eyes hesitated, "I do have a candidate. I just don't know if President Nim can accept it."

Li You was stunned for a moment, "Do you have a grudge against me?"

Chen Daojun coughed twice and said, "No, it's my father Chen Yunji."

He took a breath and said, "My father has been working in the entertainment industry for 20 years. He was a director for a while before switching careers and running an entertainment company."

"The president should also know that my mother was a very popular artist twenty years ago, and they met when he was a director."

"In this case, can you convince your father to come to Kinmen Entertainment to exercise the management rights?" Li You narrowed his eyes, "Or directly merge your father's entertainment company into Kinmen Entertainment."

"I can guarantee that he has enough say in Golden Gate Entertainment."

Chen Daojun nodded thoughtfully, "I will try to communicate with him. If possible, let him contact you?"

"it is good."

When he returned to the villa in the evening, Li You told Mou Xianmin about what happened, and she was interested in getting involved.

But recently she has to learn from Mou Zhengxiong how to manage Xiancheng Daily, so she really doesn't have time to come to Kinmen Entertainment.

Li Youmo was naturally not within Li You's consideration. If she graduated from university, she might still have a chance.

"Do you think Chen Yunji is okay?" Mou Xianmin clung to Li You.

"We'll try our best to save the situation," Li You narrowed his eyes. "Right now, I don't have anyone under my command who can run Jinmen Entertainment well."

The next day, the lights in the conference room of Kinmen Entertainment’s headquarters were glaring and the atmosphere was extremely lively.

All the shareholders, big and small, who had a say in Kinmen Entertainment, gathered together, turning the conference room into a bustling vegetable market.

The air was filled with the smell of cigarettes and a faint aroma of coffee, occasionally disturbed by the sound of hurried footsteps and the ringing of the telephone.

Park Huichang called them one by one yesterday and reminded a few of them implicitly. Now those who were reminded are sitting quietly in their seats.

These were the people who had previously discussed layoffs with Park Huichang. They all looked relatively young and seemed to be quite enterprising.

Complex emotions were hidden beneath their young faces, as they knew that today's meeting would determine their fate.

Park Huichang seemed to have adopted overly gentle measures, so that the people of Jinmen Entertainment did not feel any pressure.

A few serious people tapped their fingers on the table, thinking about how to survive in this competition.

In the other corner of the conference room, shareholders who seemed to be indifferent to the meeting were chatting in twos and threes. Their laughter and relaxed atmosphere were out of place in this tense occasion.

These people seemed to be carved from the same mold, potbellied and greasy.

"Director Park!" One of the greasy middle-aged men laughed and walked to Park Huichang's side. "What kind of meeting are you going to have today? You were so serious yesterday?"

"And you haven't taken the main seat yet." He looked around and shook his head indifferently, "Why haven't President Li and the other two arrived yet?"

Park Huichang lowered his head with a sneer on his face. He was afraid that his position would be lost today. But for the three leaders, it was not a matter of status. They were probably swimming at the bottom of the river at this time.

The greasy man with a slicked-back hair looked quite bored as Park Huichang remained silent.

The heavy wooden door of the conference room was suddenly pushed open, and Li You, wearing a dark red suit, walked into the conference room, followed by Zheng Zaizhong, who had finished his work last night.

His eyes were as sharp as an eagle's as he scanned everyone present, and the conference room immediately fell silent.

There was a subtle and tense atmosphere in the air, like the calm before the storm.

Li You walked in without saying a word, but just sat quietly in the first seat and waited for everyone in the conference room to sit down.

"Everyone," Li You's voice was not loud, but it could be clearly heard in every corner of the conference room, "I called you here today to solve the recent problems of Jinmen Entertainment."

The greasy man who had just come over to talk to Park Huichang smiled and said, "Chairman Li, there is nothing wrong with our Jinmen Entertainment."

He also laughed twice, as if this could ease the atmosphere in the conference room, and several people around him also laughed along.

"Do you know why there are still three people who haven't come?"

Li You looked at them expressionlessly. As soon as he finished speaking, the atmosphere in the conference room suddenly froze. The hip-hop stopped abruptly, and was replaced by dead silence.

Those shareholders who usually lived a life of luxury and had big bellies all restrained their smiles at this moment, and some even straightened their backs involuntarily, fearing that any small movement of theirs would become the target of public criticism.
