Korean TV series: King of Peninsula 1997

Chapter 309 Going to Jeju Island

Zhang Dacheng nodded. "Although I don't know much about the entertainment industry, I know that Jeju Island itself is a film and television base. Many crews will come to me to pay their respects when they shoot here. After all, I am the one who manages the resorts on Jeju Island now."

"But those are all small-scale filming locations scattered around. They are not large-scale at all, and they are not for tourists to visit as Chairman Li said. They are all places specifically used for filming movies and TV shows."

"This is a business opportunity," Li You said with a smile, "Just like the Hengdian World Studios in the neighboring country, the first complete area was built in 1996.
In order to expand the scale and attract more crews to participate in filming in Hengdian, Hengdian World Studios has even waived site rental for all film and television shootings since this year, and also provided a series of supporting services from scene construction, prop production, accommodation, etc.

"The most important thing is," Li You revealed, "as more and more crews come here, Hengdian World Studios' reputation spreads, which not only drives the development of the entertainment industry, but also drives other industries in Hengdian, such as the catering industry and the surrounding real estate industry. I heard that they have already started industrial operations there."

Zhang Dacheng was very excited by what he said. He kept the name in mind and planned to go back and learn more about it.

Zhang Dacheng pondered for a while, "According to what President Li said, it is indeed necessary to build a film and television city belonging to Jeju Island. I think we need to make a detailed plan."

As he was speaking, Zhang Dacheng held out his hand to Li You, "Chairman Li has given me a lot of inspiration. We need to understand these things in more detail. So, is President Li interested in going to Jeju Island?"

Li You raised his eyebrows and held out his hand to shake it. "It's no problem to go to Jeju Island, but there are still many things going on in Seoul, so I'm not sure when I can go there."

Zhang Dacheng still smiled after hearing this and decided to contact other people after returning to see if there was any opportunity for cooperation. He was afraid that he alone could not suppress Li You.

He said with a smile, "President Li, please come over when you have time recently. Jeju Island is always waiting for you."

Li You smiled slightly and didn't say anything more. Both sides knew that this conversation was meaningless. Although cooperation was mentioned, it was still a long way from formal cooperation.

Li Youke is a greedy person and does not want Zhang Dacheng to reap the benefits of his proposal. The reason why he said it so clearly is because according to the mission briefing given in "Outrageous: The Final Chapter", Zhang Dacheng is already a dead man in his eyes.

The film and television city that Li You mentioned is a real money-making tool, especially after the film and television city is built, the Korean wave is expected to spread almost everywhere, and it can attract many more tourists than Zhang Dacheng imagined.

More importantly, the travel time from Jeju Island to Seoul, including driving and flying, is less than an hour, so residents from the Korean Peninsula will flock to the island.

Moreover, Li You knew very well that this project would not encounter any obstacles whether it was located in Jeju Island or anywhere else on the Korean Peninsula.

After all, the entertainment policy promoted by Kim Min-joong is still taking effect, and this project is obviously something that will add political achievements to Jeju city officials and officials from the Ministry of Culture and Sports. Anyone who refuses will have their future affected.

"President Li," Zhang Dacheng said with a seemingly hearty smile, "see you in Jeju Island."

“See you in Jeju Island.”

A few days later, Jeju Island Resort Hotel welcomed a special guest.

It wasn't Li You, but a short but arrogant-looking Japanese man with a group of followers. "Who found this hotel?"

"Yes, Team Leader Hanada," the Japanese man next to him said respectfully, "I found it."

Huatian looked around with a haughty gleam in his eyes, and he did not take the seemingly luxurious resort in front of him seriously.

The subordinates of the Hanada Group lowered their heads and kept silent. Hanada sneered, "What garbage."

"Team Leader Huatian," his subordinate said respectfully, "This hotel is already one of the best hotels in Jeju Island."

Although his voice was calm, there was a hint of fear in it. Hanada was not a normal person.

This time, Huatian came to Jeju Island, saying that he was on vacation, but in fact, he got into big trouble in Tokyo and came here temporarily to avoid the limelight.

Once the storm has passed in the next two days, we can go back to Huatian.

Huatian nodded slightly and swept his eyes across the lobby of the resort hotel, the magnificent decoration, the high-end furniture, and the backs of the waiters who kept shuttling back and forth. Their busy figures seemed to have become toys for his entertainment in his eyes.

Even these waiters didn't seem to look that good, which made Huatian very dissatisfied. Since coming to Jeju Island, he had never met any of the beautiful girls in Korean dramas.

Huatian was not in a hurry to check in. He walked slowly to the hotel bar and casually flipped through the wine list, looking down on the famous wines from all over the world.

In the end, he pointed to a Korean liquor called soju, wanting to see how delicious the liquor was that could make Koreans hiss all the time.

The subordinate immediately understood, took it from the bartender, and poured it for him respectfully. Huatian took a sip and frowned slightly, feeling the taste of industrial alcohol.

He spat out the wine angrily, but nothing happened. He just ordered the wine to be changed, and then looked through the floor-to-ceiling windows in the lobby at the swimming pool outside and the sailboats on the sea in the distance.

A breeze blew by, bringing with it a hint of the salty smell of sea water. Although the men of the Hanada Group were scattered throughout the lobby, their eyes were not very alert, and they were not always paying attention to every move around them.

As night fell, the atmosphere in the hotel became more and more lively, and even the subordinates began to become intoxicated by it.

Huatian stood up from the bar, and his subordinates immediately left and joined the others. As they walked through the lobby, everyone's eyes involuntarily focused on them even though Huatian's appearance was unremarkable.

Huatian was a little drunk. He patted the shoulder of the person next to him and said, "Go find me two girls. I want to have some fun."

The team member next to him smiled knowingly, "Team Leader, I will definitely find the best for you."

Otomo stood up from the dock. It was already late, and the light shining on his face revealed a barely perceptible relaxation.

He hasn't felt so comfortable in a long time since he started working in this field.

Just a phone call ruined his good mood. "Brother Dayou, the situation is not good. Someone is causing trouble in the hotel."

The subordinate's voice was urgent.

"what happened?"

"He said our girl was no good, beat people up and refused to pay."

Otomo arrived at the hotel with his men. His subordinates hurried towards him to lead the way. When Otomo stepped into the hotel room, two women with injuries on their faces were curled up on the sofa, crying, at a loss.

The person who caused the trouble was indeed Huatian. This shorty liked to play with things like handcuffs, and the two ladies in the hotel really weren't very good at it.

But judging from the scene and the taste, Huatian was already a great enjoyment.

When Hanada raised his head and his eyes met Otomo's, he didn't recognize Otomo. After all, the people from the Hanabishikai that Otomo had offended before were not from the Hanada group. But this time, the two sides had a grudge.

"I'm Hanada from the Huabishi Society!" Hanada said calmly, "Do you want to cause trouble?"

"This is Jeju Island," Otomo's subordinate Gao Jincheng said in Japanese, which surprised Hanada. Otomo and his two subordinates showed the pistols at their waists.

"Alright, alright," Hanada waved his hand, "I'll pay."

The atmosphere began to become tense. The three Otomos surrounded Hanada, who was shirtless on the bed. The latter had a solemn expression and beads of sweat on his forehead. Although he verbally promised to pay, it was not difficult to catch a hint of luck and hesitation in his eyes.

The cold light from the muzzle of the gun reflected on his tense face. "Come to me tomorrow at noon, at the hotel, to get the cash."

Hanada's voice was a little trembling, but more of it was deliberately calm, "I don't have that much cash on me right now."

Otomo smiled lightly and waved his hand, his mood not being greatly affected.

Dayou thought that since he was staying in the hotel, he couldn't run away, and he was in a good mood recently, so he agreed to his request.

"Keep an eye on them," Dayou told his men after he left, "Don't let them get away."

As soon as he walked out of the hotel, Dayou's cell phone vibrated and Zhang Dacheng's name appeared on the screen.

He picked up the phone, his voice returning to his usual calmness, "President, you're looking for me."

"Tomorrow, Chairman Li from Seoul will bring people to Jeju Island for an inspection," Zhang Dacheng said seriously, "They will stay in the hotel you manage. You must make sure that there will be no problems with the entire hotel tomorrow."

"Tomorrow?" Otomo was stunned. "When?"

"President Li will be at the hotel tomorrow at noon." Zhang Dacheng was actually quite confident in Dayou's work, so he let him manage the best hotel in the area. "You must clear out the hotel staff before tomorrow at noon."

Otomo hesitated for two seconds, "I understand, President."

Hearing Dayou's hesitation, Zhang Dacheng was a little surprised, "What's going on? Is there something wrong with the hotel now?"

Dayou told the truth, and Zhang Dacheng felt helpless. "The people from Hualinghui came to Jeju Island at this time. They must have caused trouble in Tokyo. You go back and ask them for money, and then drive them away. I will inform President Nomura of Hualinghui."

"Yes."

Of course Dayou had to listen to Zhang Dacheng, but when he went upstairs, he was overwhelmed by a bad premonition.

The moment he pushed open the door, the scene before him almost made him forget to breathe.

The black muzzle of the gun was pointed at him, cold and ruthless, and the air around him froze.

"Asshole," Hanada slapped him, "Why aren't you as arrogant as before?"

Gunshots suddenly rang out, and Otomo's younger brother Gao Jincheng fell to the ground. Otomo felt a rage burning in his chest, but his face showed no emotion.

He took a deep breath and scanned the people around him one by one with his eyes as sharp as a knife.

"It's your turn," Hanada pointed the gun at Otomo, but was interrupted by the ringing of the phone.

Hanada picked up the phone and his expression began to change as he listened to what was happening on the other end of the phone. Nakata on the other end of the phone told him the origins of the group of people in front of him and also knew that he had a grudge against them.

Nakata is the current right-hand man of Nomura, the president of the Hanabishi-kai.

Dayou told Zhang Dacheng about this matter, Zhang Dacheng found Nomura, Nomura found Nakata, and Nakata found Hanada.

But there were too many people in the middle, and when Nakata found Hanada, he had already killed Gao Jincheng.

Huatian's face was gloomy and he concealed the matter for the time being.

After hanging up the phone, Hanada frowned and slapped Otomo's face a few times, "Let's just let this matter go. I'm even with you for humiliating me."

Looking at Otomo's resentful eyes, Hanada snorted coldly, left the tied Otomo there, and left with his men, preparing to rush back to Japan overnight.

The next day at Jeju International Airport, after Li You got off the plane, he quickly took a car to meet Zhang Dacheng.

"Chairman Li," Zhang Dacheng said with a smile on his face, as if the death of his men last night had no effect on him.

"This is the basic plan that I discussed with the officials of the Jeju City Government a few days ago," Zhang Dacheng handed over a document. "In addition to the film and television city that is to be built, we are also planning to build a corresponding resort and theme park around the film and television city, and also plan to develop some hotels and commercial streets around it. However, the specific scale and investment plan also need to be reviewed by Chairman Li before we can discuss it."

Li You was quite interested. "Is this all President Zhang has done in the past few days?"

"Because I've wanted to develop it for a long time," Zhang Dacheng said with a smile, "To be honest, I was short of money before, and then we encountered the financial crisis, and all the investors ran away."

Li You nodded and started talking about the main topic. "To be honest, this project is a combination of several projects. I also attach great importance to it."

He said frankly, "I need to conduct on-site inspections of some relevant places to ensure that my judgment is correct."

Zhang Dacheng had been listening quietly. After hearing what Li You said, he smiled and said, "Of course. I also know that President Li is going to conduct an inspection, so I arranged a hotel with a better location. This hotel is very suitable for traveling to the surrounding places that need to be inspected."

"President Zhang is really well prepared." Li You said with a smile.

"Of course," Zhang Dacheng said with a smile, "The King of Gyeonggi Province is coming to us, so of course I have to arrange the best."

"By the way," Zhang Dacheng smiled, "We will have lunch with the officials of the Jeju City Government later. Is it okay for President Li to come?"

"Of course," Li You thanked Zhang Dacheng in his heart. He was such a good man and introduced him to other people at this time.
