The Peninsula's richest man, starting from the game coming true

Chapter 120 Coincidence
Han Zhe had to admit that he was a little vain.

He deliberately concealed the matter of the private jet from those around him until New Year's Eve, when he suddenly spoke up and said he wanted to take those around him on a New Year's vacation.

Even though Kim Yoo-jin had declined again and again, Han Zhe still had her schedule confirmed with the reason that "Secretary Kim is also my family, and the whole family should be together during the New Year."

Finally, after a brief internal discussion, Han Zhe decided to take the people around him to the Maldives to enjoy the off-season sunshine and beaches during the very cold New Year season.

The maximum range of the Airbus 320 is more than kilometers, and it only takes eight hours to fly directly to the Maldives. When they arrived at the airport, when Han Zhe's private plane appeared, there was no doubt that Jiang Xiuyan couldn't help but roll her eyes slightly, and then she hugged his arm with a smile and cooperated with him to exclaim and praise.

As for Pei Yanzhu and Zhao Haiyuan's shock, it was genuine. Xue Run'e was also dragged to go together this time. When she got on the plane, she was at a loss and didn't even know where to sit. Jin Youzhen was a workaholic. He took his notebook on the plane and sat on the sofa of the private plane and started to work on the small table.

Han Zhe's private jet only has seats for eighteen people, but in exchange for fewer seats, there is a larger usable space, including a bar dining area for rest, a comfortable, first-class seating area equipped with a TV and iPad, an office area that can be used for work and communication, and Han Zhe's own bedroom.

The bed in the bedroom can accommodate about three people, and there is a separate shower room. It can be said that the entire private jet is a room in a private apartment.

The crew members on the plane also included the captain, co-pilot, and two stewardesses. The in-flight meals included Chinese, Korean, and Western food, all prepared according to the number of people. After a brief tour, the people brought on the private plane by Han Zhe found their favorite places to sit and began to while away the long flight time.

Han Zhe brought only five people on this trip - Bae Yeon-joo, Kim Yoo-jin, Kang Soo-yeon, Seol Yoona, and Cho Hae-won.

Because it was the Spring Festival holiday, Han Zhe did not bring too many irrelevant people with him, and he did not even make a YouTube video of the trip, but just took some photos.

They arrived in the Maldives at exactly six o'clock in the afternoon. Everyone was a little tired after the long journey, but Han Zhe had already prepared a beach villa. He considered many hotels and islands, and finally decided on the Four Seasons Private Island. The cost for four nights was about two million RMB.

It is more than enough for five people to live on an island. There are more than four villas on the island. Pei Yanzhu and Xue Run'e naturally have a sand house to themselves, and Jin Youzhen naturally has one to herself. Zhao Haiyuan originally wanted to live alone, but was dragged by Han Zhe to live in the main building.

There is no other reason, it’s simply because the bed in the large bedroom in the main building is really big, more than enough for three people to sleep.

At first, Zhao Haiyuan foolishly thought that they would live in other separate bedrooms in the main building. She put down her luggage without thinking too much. The five of them enjoyed a seaside dinner prepared by a private chef and his team on the island. For the first night, they chose a seaside BBQ. After eating various precious ingredients and seafood, they were free to do whatever they wanted.

Han Zhe suggested going swimming together. In fact, the girls could see the bright smile on his face, but in the end they all went back to the house to change into swimsuits tacitly. In the large swimming pool in front of the main building, they drank champagne or red wine by the warm pool and chatted for a while. They played water volleyball in the pool, and then took turns to do the spa.

Since there are only two massage beds in the spa on the island, we just take turns going there.

Han Zhe thought about it and let Pei Yanzhu and Xue Run'e go first. Then, in the somewhat surprised look of Zhao Haiyuan, he pulled her to go together. After they felt comfortable all over, he took her hand for a walk on the island. When they returned to the swimming pool and asked Jin Youzhen and Jiang Xiuyan to go for a massage, Jiang Xiuyan just gave him a meaningful look.

Han Zhe just smiled and winked at her. After Jiang Xiuyan left, he pulled Zhao Haiyuan upstairs. Only then did she realize that Han Zhe had bad intentions, but she couldn't resist. She could only stare at Han Zhe with a reproachful look. In the end, she let him hold her obediently and put her in front of the floor-to-ceiling window facing the ocean in the bedroom.

When she came out of the bathroom, she saw Jiang Xiuyan lying on the big bed in the master bedroom playing with her mobile phone. Zhao Haiyuan blushed and wanted to go somewhere else to rest, but in the end she was stuffed into the quilt by Han Zhe.

After a few sweet words, she had no choice but to stay reluctantly. At night, she was bullied by him and Jiang Xiuyan. She was so angry that she couldn't help but leave a tooth mark on Han Zhe's shoulder before going to bed. Han Zhe just shamelessly said that it was a rare occasion for them to take a vacation together and he didn't want to be separated from any of them. Such nonsense.

Zhao Haiyuan had no choice but to accept the reality. Fortunately, the bed was really big, so the three of them didn't feel crowded. The air conditioner also controlled the temperature, so it didn't feel hot.

In the next few days, several people had fun on the island, went fishing, snorkeled to see fish, took a private seaplane for a ride, played golf on the surrounding islands, and surfed on the yacht.
At night, I played by myself on the island, playing board games, PS4, karaoke, billiards, and when night fell, I hugged Jiang Xiuyan and Zhao Haiyuan in the big villa and let myself go.
Happy times are always short. After the trip, everyone returned to Seoul on a private plane, leaving behind only a bunch of photos on their mobile phones.

The photos posted on INS undoubtedly attracted the envy of many people, including the exposure of the private jet, which also invisibly increased Han Zhe's value.

In his career, after unlocking the LV10 group template, Han Zhe could finally purchase orders through the system, develop the business of various subsidiaries, and put the company's development officially on the fast track.

The first is the value-added expansion of existing businesses. Han Zhe’s new cosmetics brand has gained considerable fame in less than half a year since its launch.

Spokesperson Han Zhe considered it for a long time and finally decided to rotate young idols to serve as the brand managers every year. Depending on the region, the girl group XG was chosen as the local spokesperson in the Neon area, and Shin Yu Na was chosen as the local spokesperson for the peninsula.

Shin Yu-na became famous with her hot denim outfit at the end-of-year performance in 2022, and her popularity reached the peak of her personal popularity. But even so, the endorsement fee for an advertisement was only million won, which was a high price given by Han Zhe because Shin Yu-na's popularity exploded at the end of the year.

The price for inviting the Aespa group to endorse is only about 800 million won - it can be seen that the artists from the Peninsula can earn much less money than the artists from Han Zhe's hometown.

Han Zhe finally decided to spend 3 billion won to buy out Shin Yuna for one year and make her the brand spokesperson for his cosmetics brand 'Rodeti'.

Rodetti is named after the goddess of beauty Aphrodite in Greek mythology, and the selected spokesperson will be given the title of "Goddess Venus". This is self-boasting on the part of the brand, and is also an effective way to enhance the artist's status.

If nothing unexpected happens, there will be a 'Venus Goddess' exclusively for Han Zhe every year, which will inevitably become a reputation dispute among many fans. The ultimate goal is to make Han Zhe's brand spokesperson, that is, the title of 'Venus Goddess', become a 'crown' that many idol actors need to compete for.

If the title of "Goddess Venus" becomes a kind of honor, the brand will naturally be established.

As for how to make the goddess Venus an honor, it is even simpler - money. As long as the money paid by the endorsement is high enough, it is the supreme honor.

Shin Yu-na is currently only a local spokesperson for the Peninsula region. She will later be divided into spokespersons for the Asia-Pacific region, Europe and the United States, and even global spokespersons. The endorsement price will naturally increase gradually.

The spokesperson's job requirements include taking personal photos 1-2 times every two months, regularly participating in brand promotion activities, and shooting 1-2 video commercials every quarter.

Compared to the price of 600 million at one time, Han Zhe has definitely made a profit, but for Shin Yuna, this 3 billion endorsement fee is by no means a small amount. It is no exaggeration to say that it has greatly raised her status. She is almost the first female idol in the entire fifth-generation girl group who can get this endorsement fee.

What’s funny is that after Han Zhe spread the word that he intended to invite Shin Yu Na to be the brand spokesperson for 23 years, the number of guest applications for "Heart Beat Challenge", which Han Zhe was originally too lazy to continue updating, suddenly skyrocketed.

There were even actresses’ companies that sent emails asking if they could let their actresses participate in the show—because according to many people’s analysis, the reason why Han Zhe chose Shin Yu Na to shoot the commercial was probably because Shin Yu Na was the first guest of his show.
After the company was grouped, Han Zhe's personal account studio also became one of the subsidiaries. He could finally let go and no longer limit his channel to a simple personal channel. Instead, he ambitiously spent money to invite well-known PDs including Jin Longchen, the PD in charge of "Escape" and "Girls' High School Reasoning Class", JJY, etc. to start a new large-scale plan.

The plan is to host a large-scale reality show on Han Zhe's YouTube channel, mainly a survival and wits competition show with high bonuses.

Although the investment was huge, the former asked Han Zhe for 7 billion won for filming, and JJY was not much less, asking Han Zhe for 6 billion won, but Han Zhe still agreed without hesitation.

Now, the cash rewards he receives from the system alone amount to 1 billion won a day, and his monthly cash income is 30 billion won, which is even comparable to the net profit of some small and medium-sized enterprises in a quarter. In addition, all companies remain profitable, so his actual annual income is close to a terrifying scale of 500 billion to 600 billion won.

And filming on YouTube is not just for fame - after Han Zhe's number of YouTube followers exceeded 10 million, he finally started to monetize his popularity.

Han Zhe thought about it and finally decided to continue expanding the business. First, at the meeting at the beginning of the year, he clearly pointed out that the company's goal this year was to expand into various low-tech industries.

That includes the clothing industry, food industry, etc.

Among them, Han Zhe decided to sell clothing products under two brands, one of which is a trendy brand that is easy to monetize and has affordable prices, and the other is a high-end brand that provides niche private customization services and takes the path of high-end luxury goods.

The former chose to acquire various trendy brands, recruit excellent designers at high prices, and sell in large quantities. After thinking for a while, Han Zhe decided to open a clothing factory directly in his hometown, Dongda, in order to lower the final selling price with lower costs.

As for high-end customization, one can only spend a lot of money to hire famous tailors from all over the world. Han Zhe does not have too many performance requirements for his luxury clothing line. Most of the time, he buys it for himself and does not plan to promote it too much. He just wants to participate in a fashion week every quarter or organize his own fashion week.

The days of spending big bucks on all kinds of luxury goods are gone, and Han Zhe has finally embarked on the so-called "old money" path. He, Jiang Xiuyan, and the girls around them probably won't have to worry about clothes and bags in the future. All their clothes and bags will be custom-made through their own luxury brands.

As for the food business, Han Zhe is actively cooperating with Bai Suya - this is something the two have agreed on privately. She will use her existing authority to empty the Elephant Group's capital and help Han Zhe pave the way. Instead, she will persuade the company to swap equity and occupy a considerable degree of equity in Han Zhe's food company, achieving a win-win cooperation between the two parties.

This is a strategy to cut off the source of the problem. Although Bai Suya's control over the Elephant Group is increasing day by day, as a woman, she still faces many obstacles in becoming a president with complete power. The appearance of Han Zhe has undoubtedly become one of her best choices.

Han Zhe will use the influence of the new company to support her in becoming the person in charge of the Elephant Group, while she will protect Han Zhe in the food field and expand the territory. Han Zhe has money and technology, while the latter has connections and channels. Obviously, just like Han Zhe's development in the cosmetics field, the future of the food company is also very bright.

But Han Zhe's ambition goes beyond that - on the surface, he only started new companies in the clothing industry, cosmetics industry, food industry, etc. In fact, he not only wants to take over the manufacturing and sales chain of the industry, but also the production chain.

The production of raw materials in the food industry, including planting and animal husbandry, the primary processing plants required during the process, and the transportation industry are all Han Zhe's development goals.

In the clothing industry, the production of textiles is also one of Han Zhe's goals. His ideal company's perfect ecology will not be strangled by anyone in any production link.

The cash rewards calculated based on experience points provided by the system also gave him the determination and confidence to get involved in many unprofitable industries.

Including basic production industries such as textiles and planting, light processing industries
As for high-tech, high-tech fields, and some pillar industries, Han Zhe is very patient and does not blindly pursue them step by step.

Han Zhe has maintained considerable restraint and has not gotten involved in high-tech fields including semiconductors, trams, and AI, as well as pillar industries such as shipbuilding, steel, and chemicals - because those areas are firmly controlled by the chaebols on the peninsula, and they are the lifeline of the peninsula's economic situation. He knows that he is, after all, an outsider on the peninsula, and some things cannot be rushed, otherwise it will be easy to fail.

Although under the system's R&D orders, many technologies could catch up with the current production technology level or even surpass it at a very fast speed as long as he wanted, but he was still cautious and did not plunge into this field just to make a lot of money. He first laid a solid foundation and then planned for greater achievements.

This year's plan was set early, and all that was left was for everyone to go all out towards the goal. Han Zhe was gradually getting busier, mainly because the bigger the company, the less control the upper level had over the lower level, especially after the group was formed, the group head office had to be particularly careful in controlling the branch companies. Fortunately, Han Zhe had a cheat - but it was precisely because of the cheat that he could see the company's operating conditions and staff loyalty that he had to confirm it in real time every day and ensure that the company was operating in the right direction.

Coupled with daily fitness and occasional filming, Han Zhe felt that his life suddenly became extremely fulfilling, so fulfilling that he didn't even have time to flirt with other girls. Just being with the girl next to him was enough to make him feel satisfied.

In this state, Han Zhe's attitude towards people and things became more and more peaceful, until a few days before Han Zhe's birthday, on April 26, he suddenly received a text message.

It was sent by Shin Yuna.

[Shin Yu-na: Oppa, is your birthday coming up in a few days? ]

【Han Zhe: How do you know? 】

[Shin Yu-na: There is an encyclopedia of Oppa on the Internet, which records basic birthday information~]

[Han Zhe: I don't plan to hold a grand ceremony. I just want to have a simple gathering with my family. Do you want to come? ]

[Shin Yu-na: Family? Oppa’s girlfriend?]

【Han Zhe: Yes, I have a girlfriend as a backup (laughs).】

[Shin Yu-na: Then I won’t go.]

[Shin Yu-na: But do you have time before my birthday? I want to celebrate my birthday alone, is that okay? I'll treat you! Just consider it as a way of thanking my oppa for being so nice to me!]

Han Zhe smelled something strange.

He and Shin Yu-na have known each other for more than half a year. During this period, their relationship has always been relatively ambiguous. They are closer than ordinary friends or oppa and sister, but there has been no further development, and they have not met many times in private.

He also met with the members of Itzy as a group. How should I put it? It was probably because of his breakup with Yoo Ji Min. Shin Ryu Jin, who had always had a good relationship with Yoo Ji Min, did not have a very good impression of him, and they never got together again after that. Shin Yu Na also rarely took the initiative to meet with him, probably because of the atmosphere within the team.

In fact, Han Zhe had considered contacting Liu Zhimin again, but every time he thought of her attitude of breaking up, he felt helpless and slightly sad. Since he couldn't give her the relationship she wanted, if maintaining a relationship with a playboy like himself would bring more burden and pain to Liu Zhimin than happiness and joy, then why should he disturb her life again?

Jiang Xiuyan didn't want to see him like this either - in fact, Han Zhe found out that Jiang Xiuyan had called Liu Zhimin using his cell phone after waking up the day after the breakup.

But Han Zhe didn't ask anything, neither asked her why she called Liu Zhimin nor what they talked about.

Jiang Xiuyan pretended to mention it casually and asked him if he had received any contact from Liu Zhimin. Han Zhe just shook his head, and she raised her eyebrows, and then didn't say anything more.

Judging from what she said, she probably thought that Liu Zhimin would definitely take the initiative to contact Han Zhe, but Liu Zhimin did not do so - this also means a lot.

And it was precisely because of Liu Zhimin's incident that Han Zhe, who had always been somewhat proactive towards Shen Youna, became quite cautious.

He didn't want the same thing as Liu Zhimin to happen again.

[Han Zhe: Of course you can. When is a convenient time for you? ]

[Shin Yu-na: My schedule is completely free in May, and I won’t be busy until after the 15th.]

[Han Zhe: Then let’s go with May 4th. My lunar birthday is May 5th this year.]

[Shin Yu-na: OK~ That’s settled! ]

【Han Zhe: Where do you want to eat? 】

[Shin Yu-na: I want to drink with Oppa. Ah, how about Oppa take me to a nightclub? I don’t usually have the opportunity to go to such places! Unnies don’t like to go, and I don’t want to go alone. How about Oppa take me there to experience it? ]

[Han Zhe: Okay, I haven’t been out to play for a long time either. Is it just the two of us? ]

[Shin Yu-na: Can't the two of us do it? ]

Han Zhe let out a breath of cold air, guessing that this time it was serious, but what could he say? What reason did he have to refuse?
So, I agreed without hesitation.

【Han Zhe: Of course you can~ I’m just afraid that you might feel bad about it. 】

[Shin Yu-na: It’s settled then! Oppa, don’t dislike my gift then!]

【Han Zhe: Got it~】

After putting down his phone, Han Zhe's heartbeat suddenly accelerated for the first time in a long time - in fact, since breaking up with Liu Zhimin, he has basically not been in love with any beautiful girls.

The only person I am still dating is Shin Yu-na.

And
For some reason, Han Zhe suddenly thought of something else.

Shin Yu-na has a very close relationship with the unnies in her group. If there is any further development between the two of them, the unnies in her group will definitely know about it.

Shin Liuzhen has always been a cheerful person. After knowing this, she will definitely talk about him with her best friend Liu Zhimin.

Han Zhe still remembers very clearly that the direct trigger for his breakup with Liu Zhimin was the episode where he dated Shin Yuna.

He had an indescribable feeling in his heart. He felt sad, but suddenly wanted to see her expression when she knew about this - maybe you really care about this kind of thing, so you can be so resolute and suddenly break up, but there will always be someone who can accept me like this and will stay with me instead of you.
Do you feel heartbroken?
Or does it not matter?
Han Zhe pondered for a long time, and suddenly realized that so much time had passed. He thought that the breakup with Liu Zhimin had been completely forgotten and ignored by him, but in fact, it only took an opportunity to trigger his memories, and the rare sweet memories with her and the sadness of the breakup day were still vivid in his mind.

He rarely picked up his phone and read the news from Aespa. Since breaking up with Liu Zhimin, Han Zhe basically stopped contacting other people from Aespa.

Only with Ningning, a fellow villager, would they occasionally send messages to each other, and they had dinner twice with other members of the Dongda line in private. Han Zhe also invited Yuqi to participate in his "Heart-beating Challenge", but this sister was really rude and directly pressed the button of "not being moved" in the challenge results, sending Han Zhe directly to the North Pole, where he filmed a video with a polar bear.

The effect of the program is quite good. After being punished by going to the North Pole, Han Zhe became a man who can "afford to have fun" in the eyes of many people. The program "Heart-beating Challenge", which was originally planned to last for one or two months, was filmed for half a year. Now it is almost becoming a must-see promotional program for female idols and actors who return.

After all, participating in this show allows you to eat and drink happily with handsome guys along the way, shop for free, and receive high announcement fees. For busy artists, this is simply a paradise variety show for them to enjoy!

Han Zhe was scrolling aimlessly on his phone. Suddenly, his fingers paused slightly, and he reopened his earlier YouTube content and watched the episode where he and Liu Zhimin were dating.

To be honest, in his eyes, the episode where he dated Liu Zhimin was not as interesting as the others. It was precisely because he and Liu Zhimin were serious in private at the time that he deliberately kept a certain distance on the show. But even so, just looking back at the unintentional little expressions in the picture, and looking at her unconsciously silly and cute smile that she showed to him during the date, Han Zhe still couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth and recall many happy memories.

I don't know what he was thinking, but he suddenly took out his mobile phone and opened Liu Zhimin's Katalk chat box after more than half a year. The content of the chat still remained before the conversation on the day of their breakup.

Looked at the time and date.

April 2023, .

Han Zhe thought for a while, searched the web, and then sighed softly.

Why did I suddenly think of Liu Zhimin today?

Why is today Liu Zhimin’s birthday?
With some complicated thoughts in mind, Han Zhe sent a message to Liu Zhimin for the first time after the breakup.

He was ready to be blacklisted.

[Han Zhe: Happy birthday, congratulations~]

The message went through unimpeded.
