Chapter 193 Low-Key Display of Wealth
$196, Low-key Show of Wealth
Tang Wen was living a comfortable life here, but the Koreans over there started to make trouble. A few so-called "big names" denounced the crimes of WF Entertainment Company on the Internet, but the onlookers responded to those guys with idiot eyes. Are you kidding? The artists didn't say anything, why are you worrying about it?
Tang Wen didn't want to pay attention to them. He had been in Korea for more than half a month. Tang Wen, who had always lived in Hilton, felt that it was time to buy a house.
Koreans have a large population and a small land area, and there are even fewer single-family villas. Generally, the main luxury houses are gathered near Yongsan, which is "exclusive" to the rich.
The so-called luxury apartments in the city, the real rich people would turn up their noses.
Currently, the most expensive one in Yongsan is the Itaewon owned by Li Jian, which costs up to 13 billion Korean won. However, considering the current prices in Korea, it is no different from cabbage.
Itaewon covers an area of more than 3,300 square meters, although it looks pretty good. But Tang Wen just did something to someone's daughter, so buying a house here seems a bit like taking advantage of the situation.
However, Tang Wen was surprised to find that the first to fourth luxury houses in South Korea are all in Li Jian's hands, which is a bit embarrassing.
Although he is "very satisfied" with Li Zhen, Tang Wen can't make his home so close to Li's house. So the task of buying a house was given to Zhou Xu, who is familiar with it anyway.
However, the result disappointed Tang Wen. At present, the luxury houses in South Korea are mainly concentrated in Yongsan, Seoul, and other places are no different from rural areas.
Although Tang Wen does not have too many requirements, it is still quite troublesome to build a luxury house at the moment.
Zhou Xu's suggestion made Tang Wen's eyes light up.
"Boss, if you find it troublesome, why don't you just buy the Hilton Hotel?"
Tang Wen slapped his thigh and laughed, "It seems to be true. Anyway, I'm too lazy to leave."
"Boss, you're wise."
So Zhou Xu went straight to the person in charge of Hilton and spent 500 million US dollars to buy the Seoul Hilton Hotel. From then on, the top floor of Hilton was Tang Wen's exclusive "apartment".
The rumor that the WF Group's boss bought the Hilton Hotel for 150 million US dollars spread to all Koreans the next day.
"Smecta is too domineering."
"Oppa, Sarahei."
"Dad, Dad."
Korean netizens also started to recognize relatives. After learning that this mysterious boss bought Hilton just to make it convenient for him to have a place to live, everyone was dumbfounded.
Some people thought that WF Group was going to enter the hotel industry in Korea, and some people said that WF Company's move was to help Korea tide over the difficulties.
But no one expected that the boss of WF Group bought Hilton just to have a place to live.
This big deal stunned everyone who heard the news. Choi Jin-yi and Lee Kwon-hyuk were also confused. Although they knew their boss was rich, they were still shocked by the "luxury" of spending hundreds of millions of dollars just to buy a place to live.
At the same time, they were more determined to grab Tang Wen's thick thigh.
The two worked harder and harder. Similarly, Secretary Li under Choi Jin-yi was also "full of energy". With such a generous boss as a backing, they worked harder and harder.
With confidence, they were confident in talking about bargaining chips with female artists.
Recently, Song Hye-kyo, Jun Ji-hyun and the former goddess Kim Hee-sun are now in a miserable situation. They were hit by the financial crisis. Song Hye-kyo, who was regarded as a goddess, was the first to go bankrupt among the few.
Some time ago, she quietly listed her own luxury house at the agency. Unfortunately, although the price was already ridiculously low, no one was interested.
In desperation, she chose to come to WF Company to sign the contract.
Of course, when signing the contract, she and the other two saw the room card in the contract, and also heard what Choi Jin-eui said. Like everyone else, Song Hye-kyo first refused righteously.
Unfortunately, two days later, Song Hye-kyo humiliated herself and signed her name on another low-priced contract.
There is no way. For a big entertainment country, the first to go bankrupt when encountering such an economic crisis are these artists who are usually high and mighty.
Even Lee Young-ae's wealthy husband did not survive this financial crisis, not to mention Song Hye-kyo and her husband, who are both artists. They are the first batch of cannon fodder under the financial crisis.
It is no exaggeration to say that most of the money Tang Wen earns now is the "hard-earned money" of these artists. But, isn't this the world of real capital?
After Song Hye-kyo fell, Jun Ji-hyun and Kim Hee-sun didn't last long. However, their contracts, like those of other people who refused, were cut in half.
This is the price of refusal.
Tang Wen is busy showing off his wealth, while the people of South Korea are waiting for the government to issue subsidies. This sharp contrast makes many people sigh.
But what can we do? Life still has to go on, right?
Although Tang Wen is very "sympathetic" to the people of South Korea, he is not soft-hearted when it comes to making money. In the past ten days, Tang Wen's balance of money has reached about 200 million again, which is another unexpected gain.
After withdrawing the money, Tang Wen looked at the news of South Korea on the computer, scrolling down page by page.
Suddenly a piece of news attracted him.
"The news that Li Rong, the eldest son of the Li family of Star X, held a luxurious party for his son and daughter appeared."
"Hey, this Li Rong is about to lose Star X, and he's still in the mood to have a party?" Tang Wen said in surprise.
Although Li Rong has good abilities, he is a bit inferior compared to his younger sister Li Zhen. But it is better than Li Zhen's sister Li Xu.
Similar to Li Zhen, Li Rong just divorced his wife Lin Xiangmin in 2009. This guy's wife is also from a well-known family in Bangzi country. Unfortunately, he was caught stealing food and had to divorce his wife "amicably".
Tang Wen was speechless about what happened to this guy. What's wrong with eating secretly? Eating openly is what counts as awesome. But this guy’s wife is also very awesome at home.
The Elephant Group is also well-known in Bangzi Country. Unfortunately, the Elephant Group suffered heavy losses during the financial crisis this time, although it is said that it will not go bankrupt.
But it was certain that his vitality was severely damaged. This guy Li Rong didn't comfort his ex-wife, but instead turned around and started a party. This is also strange.
But what Tang Wen didn't know was that Li Rong was a bit broken now. The right to speak on X Star was now in the hands of his younger sister Li Zhen, while he was responsible for the operations of several of its branches.
Compared with the directors of Star X, this branch of my own is a scumbag.
I have to say that Li Zhen, a strong woman, is really not just a boast. After she came to power, she resolutely kicked out of the board of directors some members of the family who were just waiting for death.
Even his brother Li Rong and sister Li Xu didn't let them go. Originally, Li Xu only had the title of branch president in X Star. Even so, Li Zhen mercilessly kicked Li Xu off the board of directors.
Not only that, Li Rong and Li Xu were just the first batch of people to be cleared out. As Li Zhen came to power, more and more bugs attached to Planet X were cleared out by her one by one.
Everyone complained, but due to Li Zhen's iron-blooded tactics, everyone only dared to whisper behind their backs.
Li Rong, who was expelled from the board of directors, completely let himself go. He spent a lot of time living and drinking. Even his father Li Jian couldn't stand it and scolded him: "If you continue like this, you won't be able to get a dime of X Star's shares in the future. "
Li Rong, who was scolded by his father, suddenly broke into a cold sweat. Although he was expelled from X Star's board of directors, he still received annual dividends.
It would be terrible if he angered his father and cut off his finances. How can you support yourself with just a few broken companies in your hands?
So Li Rong began to restrain himself, and at the same time he also began to take the initiative to hold parties for his son and daughter, as if he was determined to change his mind and become a good father.
Of course, all this is to paralyze Li Zhen. Now Li Rong is preparing to join his ex-wife's Elephant Group to attack his sister in order to regain control of Planet X.
Although Lin Xiangmin looked down upon her husband's actions in the early stage, she still planned to fight hard with Li Rong for the happiness of her son and daughter.
This party was just an excuse for the two of them to discuss their plans. If his son and daughter held a party, Lin Xiangmin, a mother, would naturally show up, so this party was a very good excuse for the two of them to meet.
"You mean Lin Xiangmin and Li Rong want to do some tricks?" Tang Wen was enjoying watching the news, but a call from Zhou Xu disrupted his thoughts of watching the excitement.
"Yes, boss. According to reports, Li Rong's party was ostensibly to celebrate the birthday of his son and daughter. In fact, he secretly made an appointment with Lin Xiangmin of the Elephant Group. Both parties planned to take action on the equity of X Star." Zhou Xu said truthfully. .
"This is a bit interesting. I wonder what Li Jian will do when he sees this side of his unfulfilled son." Tang Wen snickered.
Zhou Xu thought for a while and asked: "Boss, should we inform Miss Li Zhen in advance?"
"That's not necessary. If Li Zhen can't even handle Li Rong, it would be better for her not to be the chairman of X Star." Tang Wen shook his head and refused.
After thinking about it, Tang Wen suddenly showed an evil smile and ordered: "Check to see if Li Xu has any involvement, and get me the information on the Elephant Group by the way. I suddenly became a little interested in the Elephant Group. "
"Yes boss, I'll do it right away."
After Zhou Xu left, Tang Wen stared at the computer in a daze.
It seems impossible for Li Rong to unite with the Elephant Group to seize power from Li Zhen. It would be a bit bad if he found Li Zhen's ex-husband and allowed them to cause trouble together.
Thinking of this, Tang Wen called JA and asked him to "arrange" for Ren to disappear to Southeast Asia for a period of time. Tang Wen would feel at ease only if the time bomb was not in Bangzi Country.
As for the Elephant Group? Haha, if they don't know whether to live or die, Tang Wen doesn't mind letting them feel what despair is.
