Korean TV series: King of Peninsula 1997

Chapter 548 Revenge, Chance, Timing
Paris was excited; the chance for revenge she had longed for was right in front of her.

Rick Solomon had been staying between Los Angeles and Las Vegas for a long time, and there was nothing she could do about it.

The Cosa Nostra that Li You came into contact with in the High Table at that time was headquartered in New York on the northeastern coast of the United States. It was also the largest mafia in the United States and an organized crime group.

But on the west coast of the United States, especially near California, two major street gangs are the mainstream here.

The Crips and the Bloods, unorganized but large street gangs, have made a mess of this place.

After the Blood Gang suffered a blow and was no longer limited to recruiting African Americans and Mexicans, a large number of white people also flocked to join.

Rick Solomon, a well-known Las Vegas gambler and bohemian rapper, is one of them.

Street thugs are everywhere, and there are countless gangs in different places.

The Hilton Group is not an idiot, and the family members are afraid of getting into trouble.

But it doesn’t matter, Li You is not afraid of his identity.

This person is from the Korean Peninsula, and this identity makes him a thorn in the eyes of those African and Mexican thugs.

It originated from the Los Angeles riots in 1992, which were mainly fought by Koreans. Paris knew that this big man from the Korean Peninsula was not afraid.

She repeatedly told the driver, "Go faster."

Beverly Hills is just around the corner, and she has to go home quickly to convince her parents to get the Hilton property on the Korean Peninsula.

She returned to her estate and told her parents about the incident.

Kathy Hilton, the mother who looked like a noble lady, sighed softly, "You asked a Korean to help you?"

"Nonsense!" Her father leaned back in his chair coldly, with a hint of anger in his eyes, "At this time, you are still thinking about seeking revenge?"

"Why can't I take revenge?" Paris's expression became more violent. "Why don't you help me?"

"The family has helped you a lot," her father Richard Hilton didn't want to look at her, but closed his eyes slightly, "I am only your grandfather's sixth son, not his only son. You have caused so much trouble, the family can't always indulge you."

"Didn't I earn back for the group?" Paris said sarcastically, "How many business opportunities have I developed for the group in just two years?"

“Hilton Group is known for its cautious development around the world. Your boldness is truly unique.”

"I should have a share in the Hilton Group," Paris said, not wanting to argue any more. "My grandfather is the head of the group now."

Paris stood up indifferently, "It's my problem. I shouldn't have told you this. I don't need to bother you with this matter in the future."

"I went to him. The Korean Peninsula stuff is everything I inherited from Hilton."

Richard didn't stop her. There were many people in the Hilton family now, and Paris was very business-minded, so it didn't matter if she inherited less.

"Richard," Cathy looked at her eldest daughter with some concern, "You're just going to let him go like this?"

"I provoked her for her own good," Richard sighed. "You controlled her too strictly when she was little. She didn't even have much real communication, which is why she was deceived."

Cathy felt a little guilty. She whispered, "But that Korean guy."

"Father knows," Richard stood up and prepared to leave the living room, "Father always knows something about people we can't find out."

"I kept you out of the way tonight because I didn't want you to have any more conflicts with Paris. I'll be the bad guy for once," Richard sighed.

Casey was silent for a while, then nodded helplessly.

As the dinner was coming to an end, Bezos approached Li You again and shook hands with him sincerely, saying goodbye, "Li, start the company as soon as possible."

Now that Amazon Group is trying to acquire other companies and achieve great success in online shopping, Blue Origin is his dream. If someone can give strong support, that would be great, and he wouldn't have to worry about it all the time.

"I understand," Li You and Bezos hugged each other briefly before leaving. After they separated, Li You turned around and walked out of the banquet hall with Chen Yajun.

Li You stayed at the Hilton Hotel, and his suite was two floors up in the elevator.

"Don't tell me," Chen Yijun smiled as he sat on the sofa, "This apartment does look nice."

As he was speaking, the phone in the suite rang and Chen Yajun picked up the phone.

Hearing that it was Chen Yajun who answered the phone, Paris explained calmly and told her that she wanted to look for President Li.

"Looking for you," Chen Yajun stuffed the phone into Li You's hand, who was resting his head on Chen Yajun's thigh at the time.

"Paris," Li You answered the phone, "I think the matter has not come to a conclusion yet?"

"Yes," Paris added, "so I'm going to go to the person who actually has the final say, my grandfather, Barron Hilton."

"It might take some time."

"no problem."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Yijun pressed his head and sighed, "It seems I have to stay in the United States for a while."

"Don't worry," Li You chuckled. He stood up and put on his coat. "Take a shower first. I'll be back soon."

When they walked out of the hotel, Quan Zaijun had already opened the car door. After the two got in the car, Quan Zaijun turned around and said, "President, the place has been almost moved out. Do you really want to buy it?"

"Buy it," Li You chuckled, "It's just a few buildings, and the structure is good. The huge underground space has not been demolished."

"The Rothschilds are willing to sell it cheaply, so why shouldn't we buy it?"

The buildings that once belonged to Manager Bai and Dr. Bai, along with the underground experimental sites, are now empty, but they are all considered good assets, so Li You took over.

"It just so happens that the Rothschilds haven't paid for the land in Jeju Island yet," Li You looked at the surrounding Los Angeles streets, "just give them the difference."

Even in the City of Angels, there are still many dark alleys. I wonder how many Waynes died in these alleys.

"By the way," Li You thought of Paris's matter, "How long has it been since An Shang was told about Rick Solomon?"

"I told him," Quan Zaijun drove the car and took the steering wheel, "He will send this person's information soon."

The car soon stopped in front of the building that Gu Ziyun escaped from.

Quan Jae-jun got out of the car, opened the door, and followed Li You all the way to the gate. The rest of the security guards were on guard all around. There were too many homeless people and gangsters nearby, so they couldn't be careless.

"They just stay here and guard," Li You only let Quan Jae-jun follow him in.

In the dark night, the skyline of Los Angeles has long been covered by lights, with only these few buildings standing there in the dark.

In just a few months, creeping vegetation had grown on the outer walls of the alley behind. The door of the building was opened by them. The Rothschilds had already handed the keys to Li You, and they were only here to inspect the goods first.

The door they opened was silently inviting the wind to pass by.

As there were broken windows inside, wind whistled in through the gaps in the broken windows from all directions, and the sound of the wind was somewhat creepy.

After walking in under the dim street lights, the interior of the building was pitch black. Only faint light from outside came into the hall, shining on the dusty carpet.

The air is filled with a musty smell mixed with dust and time. Dust accumulates here very quickly.

The occasional roar of cars outside the building and the wailing of sirens in the distance made this place no longer eerie.

Li You did not stop, as the deeper he went, the darker it became.

Jeon Jae-joon tried to press the switch, but he only heard the crisp sound of the switch bouncing back, and the light did not come on as he wished.

Due to the power and water outage, there is no light here and not even a drop of water can be heard.

The flashlight in Quan Zaijun's hand became the only light source in the building, and the light flickered in the dim space.

"President," Jeon Jae-jun was a little worried. His vision was limited in the darkness, and he could only rely on the weak beam of light from the flashlight to move forward.

"Don't worry," Li You's telekinesis covered the surroundings and did not find anything abnormal.

Quan Jae-jun felt inexplicably ashamed that he couldn't help as a security guard.

They did not go up, but simply toured the first floor. Except for some insignificant old documents scattered around, the place was basically empty.

In fact, there are a lot of black residues on the ground, which are the ashes left after the fire. It is estimated that Dr. Bai destroyed a lot of information here, and they floated everywhere along the ventilation ducts.

"Alright," Li You simply looked around and didn't go into details. "When we officially hand over the buildings, these buildings will be used as branches of Kinmen, USA."

It’s time to expand Kinmen’s business further.

Los Angeles is the most important city for trade warehousing and logistics transportation on the west coast of the United States, and it is also the import and export trade center between the United States and Asia.

It is also home to the largest seaport in the United States, which can handle 70% of the total container volume on the west coast of the United States.

The United States Golden Gate Security Office is located in nearby San Francisco and has close ties with the local government.

These buildings are located in Los Angeles, which is just right for serving as branches of Golden Gate in the United States. Golden Gate Trading, Golden Gate Real Estate, and Golden Gate Entertainment, these three companies are bound to enter the United States, especially trade and entertainment.

Many Korean artists and even Asian artists have a Hollywood dream.

Li You's network of relationships here has just begun to develop, and the company he established may even suffer setbacks at first. But with Willump, Musk, and Bezos, the Golden Gate Group will have huge room for development in the United States in the next 20 or even 30 years.

"By the way," Li You reminded Quan Zaijun as they got in the car, "Change your flight to San Francisco tomorrow to New York and go to the Continental Hotel."

To deal with a little star who is related to the Blood Gang, Li You doesn't need to do it himself, he just needs to spend some money to hire someone.

The Hilton Hotels on the Korean Peninsula will soon be taken over by him, so it’s a good opportunity to talk to Winston again and see how he makes use of the mainland hotels.

The next day, hotel suite.

He returned to the hotel without encountering any obstacles last night. The streets of Los Angeles were not crazy enough to attack a fleet of luxury cars that looked easy to mess with.

Li You pushed aside Chen Yijun's long white legs that were wrapped around him and got out of bed with his upper body naked.

After waiting for him to come back last night, Chen Yajun, who had been pressing him step by step, was so shocked that he is now sleeping soundly.

It’s not that Li You cares about women, he just wants to relax his body and mind appropriately. After all, he has money, status, and even longevity and extraordinary powers.

After nearly ten years of hard work, I finally have time to enjoy myself.

He wants more. From the daughters of wealthy families to actresses in the entertainment industry, there are plenty of people on the Korean Peninsula who want to be his concubine.

Li You put on his bathrobe, waved open the curtains, letting the sunlight shine into the living room of the suite, and called for breakfast.

Not long after, Chen Yajun came over rubbing his eyes and sat in Li You's arms, feeling like a sweet couple.

Soon a waiter came in with a food cart and filled the table with the breakfast that Li You ordered.

"President," Jeon Jae-jun came in with his head down, controlling his gaze, not daring to look at the two people who were eating, "The flight ticket has been changed to New York, and Rothschild has already sent the transaction contract for the building."

"Has the lawyer seen it?" Li You was a little surprised at Benjamin's efficiency. He just made a phone call last night to inform him that he agreed to the deal, and the contract was sent to him early in the morning.

"I've seen it. They are adding some clauses to avoid loopholes."

"That's right," Li You waved his hand and asked the uncomfortable Quan Zaijun to leave.

Once a cooperation is reached with Paris Hilton, Li You can save a lot of time in the hotel industry on the Korean Peninsula, take over those already built industries, and become an industry tycoon from scratch. With the Golden Gate Group as the background, both Chairman Park and the others are just weaklings.

Li You didn't care what the internal situation of the Hilton Group was like, nor did he care about the Blood Gang that Mark Solomon joined.

The largest street gang in the United States
The words "street gang" are their biggest weakness and they will never be able to come to the fore.

While the Twelve Giants of the High Table were already doing business in various huge industrial chains, these street gangs who opened their own gangs were still selling drugs privately and shooting at each other with guns for territory.

The usual custom is to get tattoos on your body and face, ride your motorcycle around the city, and choose a few rappers as your front man.

Chen Yajun quickly finished his food in small bites, got off him and went to wash up.

When she finished washing up, Li You was already sitting on the sofa, neatly dressed and reading the newspaper that was delivered to him.

The local newspapers in Los Angeles are full of gossip, but some of it is of little use.

Chen Yijun came close to Li You and read the newspaper with him. The gossips made her read with great interest. Li You knew Chen Yijun's character very well. Seeing Chen Yijun's look of enjoying the news, he shook his head and smiled.

It was not until almost noon that the two got up and left the hotel and rushed to the airport.

The first-class cabin of this flight was not a separate compartment, which also attracted people's attention.

"Mr. Li?"

Li You turned his head and saw the old man in the aisle. He was a little surprised that he knew him.

"you are?"

"Steven Spielberg, just call me Steven," the old man, who looked Jewish at first glance, greeted Li You with a smile.

"Li You."

The two simply shook hands, and Li You realized who this person was. "I didn't expect that on this flight, I would be able to meet the greatest director in Hollywood history."

"You're welcome," Spielberg said modestly.

"But how does Steven know me?"

"." Spielberg was somewhat helpless, "Two years ago, Miss Quan auditioned for a movie I was producing."

Li You suddenly realized, "Memoirs of a Geisha."

He did have the idea of ​​giving it a try, and was recommended for an audition through Willump's connections, but failed.

"Yes," Spielberg actually felt a little embarrassed to say it, after all, he vetoed letting Jun Ji-hyun play the second female role.

It was also during that time that he heard interesting stories about the Japanese and Korean underworld when he was filming a drama in Japan.

For example, the 'Godfather' of the Korean Peninsula was born.

Spielberg was of course curious, after all, Paramount Pictures, where he was now, was filming the movie "The Godfather" at that time.

After asking around, he got to know President Li.

Pity.
Spielberg felt a little regretful. If Chairman Li was a white man, it would surely be a hit if his story was made into a movie.

"Steven, I have something else to ask you," Li You didn't care much about his inner thoughts. Since there was a big shot in Hollywood around, he just asked.

"Please take a seat."

The seat was wide enough for two people to sit side by side. Chen Yijun gave up the seat opposite Li You and sat next to Li You, allowing Spielberg to sit over there.

"What would you like to know about Hollywood, President Li?"

Spielberg took the initiative to turn the topic to Hollywood because he was afraid that Li You would ask some sensitive questions.

"Regarding Hollywood film companies," Li You smiled, "Does Steven recommend any?"

“Recommended.”

Who would ask such a question so directly? Are film companies cabbages?
Spielberg suspected that he had recognized the wrong person, as this person was different from the people he met.

After glancing at Li You several times, Spielberg still managed a smile and said, "I personally have no way of knowing all the economic conditions of the various film companies."

The two chatted about some simple topics, and then Spielberg said goodbye and left, but agreed that he would use the actors of Golden Gate Entertainment if he had the chance in the future, which was considered a good relationship.

However, meeting him did remind Li You that he still had an opportunity to invest smoothly and make billions of dollars in the future.

Marvel Studios is in a precarious situation right now.

Marvel Studios has not yet filmed "Iron Man", Robert Downey Jr., who is in the fourth year of his five-year drug rehabilitation program, has not yet joined, Marvel superheroes have not yet proved their profitability to Hollywood, and have not yet been acquired by Disney for $4 billion, so that he can take the opportunity to invest money and get shares.

The founders of Hollywood's six major production companies were almost all Jewish immigrants from Eastern Europe and Russia.

Considering the class status of this country, he certainly cannot completely acquire Marvel Studios here. Jewish xenophobia has always existed in the circles of Hollywood bigwigs, and Spielberg is one of them.

But by investing money and getting shares to become a shareholder, and then waiting for Marvel Studios to be acquired by Disney in the future, Golden Gate Entertainment and Disney will be connected.

The plan works.

When the plane landed and the car arrived at the Continental Hotel, Li You was still thinking about this matter, but he didn't know much about the Jewish circle in Hollywood and needed to consider it carefully.

"You guys wait for me in the car," Li You regained his composure, patted Chen Yajun's hand, and went to the Mainland Hotel by himself.

"Sir," Charon said, still smiling, "Welcome back to the Continental Hotel. How can I help you?"

"Take me to Winston."

Charon smiled and nodded. Winston had told him this since Li You left last time.

They took the creaky old-fashioned elevator all the way to the top floor, which was Winston's private territory.

"Welcome, Mr. Li."

Winston stepped forward and shook hands with Li You.

After they shook hands, Charon bowed slightly and left silently.

"Long time no see, Winston," Li You sat down with him, "It seems you already know my identity."

Winston nodded with a complicated expression, "I didn't expect that such a friendly giant would join us."

"Friendly?"

Winston stood up and got a bottle of good wine, and poured a glass for Li You. "Most of the bigwigs at the High Table are dark forces hiding in the dark. Anyway, I have only seen one like President Li in my life."

"Of course," Winston said self-deprecatingly, "it's probably where I hide most of the time."

"You can walk out," Li You shook his head slightly.

"Since I took over this place in the 1970s, I have witnessed too many people leave," Winston sipped his wine in a very British way, "I won't leave, just because I need it, and it needs me too."

"If it gets ruined one day, I will leave here and seek to rebuild it."

Li You didn't talk too much and got to the point, "I need a killer to help me kill someone."

Winston was not surprised, and even guessed that Li You had something else to do. He nodded and said, "The boss of the High Table hired a killer to kill someone. As long as it does not violate the rules of the High Table, we can indeed do it."

"Rick Solomon," Li You shook the glass and watched the ripples of the fine wine inside.

"He's a rapper from the Bloods gang, hanging out in Las Vegas."

Winston narrowed his eyes. "The Blood Gang is nothing, but the difficulty and complexity of this mission."

"More money is needed."

"Gold coins or cash?"

"It will be all right."

Li You looked at him with a half-smile, "I want John Wick to do it."

Winston was silent for a while. "It depends on whether he accepts the mission or not. The Continental Hotel will not assign missions."

"No money," Li You threw him a badge, "It's my favor."

"Deal," Winston agreed without hesitation.

Any favor from a tycoon would be worth such a tiny price, so he just paid Mr. Wick.

"There are still some questions that need your answers."

To be honest, when Winston heard that Li You wanted to build his own "Continental Hotel" on the Korean Peninsula, he was a little dumbfounded.

In fact, other giants also have corresponding institutions in their own territories, but they are not as obvious as Li You’s.

Directly imitate several mainland hotels on the Korean Peninsula to strengthen control over the Korean Peninsula's underground world.

"Crazy idea," Winston exclaimed, and even gave a lot of good plans and ideas.

This elegant and strong old man has been thinking about how to deal with the High Table and exploit its loopholes all these years. Now there are actually giants who are willing to listen to his knowledge.

Winston smiled and said, “If President Li were in New York, he would definitely become the top figure.”

Li You smiled and shook his head. “Okay, if I really extend my hand to New York, you, Winston, will definitely be the first person to be worried.”

"Of course," Winston said, not feeling embarrassed at all. "I know I am giving an example to express my admiration for President Li."

Li You laughed. "Okay, let's stop here today. Anyway, remember to handle the matter of Rick cleanly and make him disappear from the face of the earth. Don't just leave it there after you've done it."

Winston nodded. "Understood. I will give more instructions to the scavengers."

Even when he was seeing Li You off, there was still a hint of invisible excitement in Winston's eyes.

This bit of excitement was seen by Charon. After Li You left, he looked at Winston curiously, "What's wrong? I rarely see you so happy."

"I haven't had so much fun in a long time since we broke into the Continental Hotel more than 30 years ago and became the new owner here," Winston smiled and shook his head. "Is this the young people of the new era? Crazy."

Of course, he didn't think Li You was crazy because of the imitation.

But doing so means that Li You is really building a kingdom.

The Continental Hotels and High Table Deputies around the world have almost taken control of the huge underground world of the world.

If the scope is narrowed down to just the Korean Peninsula, it would be hard for Winston to imagine how much control Lee You would have over the area if he succeeded.

"Charon, contact Mr. Wick."

Winston smiled and said, "There is a job for him to do. As for the reward..."

Hilton Group.

"You mean, you used a franchise contract to ask for help from this President Li?"

Barron Hilton, current chairman and CEO of Hilton Group, was staring at his granddaughter Paris with a strange look in his eyes.

Barron, who was born in 1927, is now nearly eighty years old. His father was the top commander of the Hilton Group at that time, but Barron still started from a young age. He has worked as an elevator operator, waiter, and lobby manager in a hotel, and these jobs later helped him better understand the hotel industry.

With his business talent, Barron joined Hilton for three years and was promoted to vice president at the age of 3.

Later, I took the top position and have been working there ever since.

He did think of many people, but he really didn't expect that the 'Korean' his son Richard was talking about on the phone was Li You.

"Grandfather," Paris didn't wear any gaudy makeup here, but dressed very plainly, "Do you know him?"

"How could I not know him?" Barron sighed. "Hilton hotels are all over the world. Where do you think information was spread from in the Middle Ages?"

"Does he have the ability?"

Barron is someone who understands the underworld. To be more precise, the hotel industry has always had some of this nature, especially when his father opened the Hilton Hotel, which was the heyday of the American mafia.

"Yes, yes." Barron looked at his granddaughter and felt a headache.

After a long time, he didn't ask any more questions, but just waved his hand and said, "Forget it, forget it. You can handle it as you wish."

"Those Hilton hotels on the Korean Peninsula are nothing. If you want them, I'll give them to you in advance," Barron said, writing something with a pen. "Go find Falk to finalize the contract yourself."

After Paris walked out excitedly, Barron didn't even look up.
