  Chapter 363 Smith in Seoul Continued

   Whether it's Leon Laporte or both. Or the Li family father and son.

  None of them stayed long at Shilla Hotel.

After    had breakfast with Abel, these people all left.

   Li Xinyu was hesitant to stay, but Li Zaixi said:

   "Your mother misses you. She hasn't seen you in a year."

   Li Xinyu immediately decided to go home with her father and elder brother.

  As for Li Fuzhen...

  After she decided to marry the security guard a few years ago. For two years, they couldn't even step into the Li family's house.

  It got better later, but after this incident, it became even more difficult for her to go back to Li's house.

  From the beginning to the end, neither Li Zaixi nor Li Rongzai asked her if she wanted to go home.

   Li Fuzhen didn't mean to go back with her.

  She also continued to stay at the hotel, with Abel.

   Watching his sister and father and brother go away, they disappeared in the elevator hall of the hotel.

   Li Fu really remained silent for a long time, until he heard Abel say:

   "Do you want me to take you to your house as a guest? I think Mr. Li should welcome me."

   Li Fu was really heartbroken.

  The feeling of "returning home with clothes and clothes", she already felt it before she came home.

   But Li Fu really thought about it carefully, turned her head and snuggled into Abel's arms, and smiled softly:

   "Forget it. I've seen them all. It will be the same when I go back."

   "Didn't you meet your mother yet?"

   "My mother loves me the most, and she often comes to see me."

   "Okay. Then there is a chance next time."

   At this time, it is freezing cold outside, and it is very cold at first today.

  The weather forecast said that the minimum temperature will reach minus 20 degrees.

  The snowflakes outside have also changed from the fine snow in the morning to the heavy snow of goose feathers blowing wildly.

  Abel lost interest in going out.

  He brought Li Fuzhen back to the room.

   Li Fuzhen is almost 6 months pregnant now, and her belly is already round.

   Abel certainly did nothing to her.

   With more and more goddesses.

  Abel will not be as anxious as before.

   The lonely sleepless thing happens once or twice, and now Abel can still bear it.

  The two were in the hotel suite, talking softly about Li Fuzhen's affairs.

   It has been almost half a year since Li Fuzhen returned to Han Country.

   In the past six months, she has done many things.

   First of all, the "" entertainment company was established.

   Translated into Chinese, it means "forging craftsman".

   means a craftsman who forges a star, which means a star-making factory.

  The reason for choosing such a slightly weird company name is a bit strange in the cultural circles of China and East Asia.

  That's because the surname "Smith" means forging, craftsman, making, craftsman, etc. when it is not used as a surname in English.

   Li Fu really forged Artisan Entertainment Company, when translated into English, it is more directly Han Guo Smith Asia Entertainment...

  Even the name, Li Fuzhen used such careful thought.

   This woman's scheming can be imagined.

  Anyway, Abel knows now that it was her trick.

  But when his woman caters to him like this, even a man would feel a little bit dark, and couldn't help but give her an extra point or two in his heart.

   Blacksmith Entertainment has been established for half a year.

  The main direction of the company is star production.

  As well as the main agent and partner of Smith Media in Hanguo.

  The previous business, because it has just started, has not produced any results yet.

  It has only been half a year, and the scouting studio has only just been established and has not been in operation for long.

   Not to mention finding out how many star seedlings, and then cultivating them.

   But the latter business, as the agent of Smith Media in Hanguo.

  Forging craftsman entertainment has done a good job in this aspect of work.

  Many movies produced by MGM, TV series produced by AMC, or other products.

  All of them are listed and sold in Han Country through Forging Artisan Entertainment Company, and the overall sales revenue is very good.

   After all, the attitude towards Western cultural works.

   Han people, like other East Asian and Asian countries, have always been very friendly to foreigners.

  Especially in the area of ​​media and entertainment, they are tightly controlled.

   "There are more than 100 scouts in the scouting factory, and more than 200 trainees have been found in half a year? Is it so fast? Or is it so easy to find star seedlings?"

   Leaning on the sofa, Abel hugged Li Fuzhen, who had a round belly, with one hand that became even bigger after she was pregnant...

   Li Fuzhen's face was blushed by his touch.

  Her slender and smooth pair of long tui couldn't help but tighten.

   "The quality may vary." Li Fuzhen said:

   "But it's very cheap anyway. You only need to pay part of the living and living expenses, and most of it is on training expenses. So the maintenance cost is actually very low."

  Abel nodded, and he also remembered that in the parallel time and space of later generations, Han Guo's trainee model was later adopted throughout Asia.

   And in fact, in Europe and the United States, Disney has also done this very early.

   People like Britney Spears and her ex-boyfriend.

   They were all little child stars of Disney at the beginning, and they switched jobs when they were trained later, but they all became big stars.

   Earlier, there were Brooke Xiaosi and others in the 1980s, who were also selected from the child stars of the prototype of the trainee model, and finally succeeded.

  The Han people just carried forward and systematized this model.

  The key is that this model has achieved great success in the end.

  Rang Hanguo has launched waves of the so-called "Korean wave" throughout Asia and even the world.

  Let its cultural output in this aspect appear to be very successful.

   and Neon's two-dimensional cultural output have reached a similar level.

  Don’t you see, even the stools in future generations are pulling votes for the mid-term elections.

  Have you also invited Han Guo boy group to the White House?

  Stool did that to win over young American voters at the time.

   That is a manifestation of the influence of Hallyu in the United States.

   Hanguo's Hallyu, Neon's second dimension.

  This can also be considered as modern times, and there are not many Asians that have successfully counter-exported to the European and American world, which can be regarded as a relatively systematic culture.

   Huaxia Mahjong is also considered, but it is not systematic.

   It did not bring any income or profit to China, and it can only be regarded as a manifestation of the great integration of the world.

  Even these two export cultures are a bit deformed. Even itself was formed under the deliberate guidance of Europe and the United States.

  But they can eventually flow back to Europe and the United States, which means that they still have some merits.

  Abel remembers that Han’s policy of “establishing the country through culture” was only decided two years ago.

  After that, Han Guo began to use the power of the whole country to support the entertainment and cultural industry of his own country.

  Han’s subsequent major internal entertainment giants all rose during this period.

  Even the trainee mode began to fumble forward during this period.

  Thinking of this, he also affirmed Li Fu's true attempt.

   "You can try it. Anyway, the cost is not expensive. Remember to set a higher share of the contract, I mean the share ratio on our side."

   Li Fuzhen smiled and nodded in agreement.

   Han Guo’s trainees will basically sign exaggerated contracts of more than 10 years when they debut.

  In these contracts, the sharing ratio between the artist and the company is generally around 1:9.

   Even 0.5:9.5 has...

   Few artists, but many companies.

  If the group debuts, that 1 or 0.5, there are still many people to share.

  Like the youth team in parallel time and space, so popular.

   But Lin Yuner, the most popular face inside, only earned about 150 million RMB in 15 years...

  Annual income is about 10 million RMB, a random second-tier actor or star in China can make more than one year, right?

  In the United States, Michael Jackson costs $5 million for one appearance.

  Hanguo artists earn little and are squeezed crazily, and they are famous all over the world.

   It can be squeezed like this, let Han Guo's entertainment companies train trainees.

   As long as there are 100 trainees, one or two can become famous and make money.

  Then the company can earn back all the expenses and investment in these trainees.

  This is the reason why Han Guo's trainee mode can run smoothly.

  Replacing it with the mainland side later will not work well.

  After Huaxia's artists become famous, they will not obediently continue to maintain such an exaggerated share ratio.

  The special national conditions of Han country allow entertainment companies to have such income.

   "What about the production of film and television content? If you want to gain a foothold here and play in the entertainment industry. Just relying on cultivating idol stars is not going to work."

   While talking, Abel felt that one hand was not enough.

  His other hand is not going to be idle either.

  He is so tall, so his arms are naturally long.

  Li Fuzhen is more than 1.6 meters tall and has a slender figure.

   He hugged, just one hand to the side.

   Li Fuzhen's face turned even redder.

"I'm also planning in this regard. The film and television department has already been established. But...except for my blacksmith entertainment, other Hanguo entertainment companies are basically controlled by chaebols. Before that, they were all faintly resisting me .It is very difficult for me to obtain Hanguo resources in this regard.”

   Li Fu said with a blushing face.

  When Chinese people of later generations mentioned the entertainment industry in Han Kingdom, what would they think of?

  Mature dream factory, handsome men and beautiful women, influence sweeping across Asia, even part of it reverts to Europe and the United States...

  But what Abel sees now is that most of the entertainment companies in Han Country are actually pawns of chaebols.

  Entertainment stars are at the bottom of the control chain.

  Whether it is the past, the future, or the present.

   Han country's entertainment industry is famous for squeezing artists.

  Whether it is income, work or treatment, local artists in Han country have little choice.

  Like in the parallel time and space, the three giants of Hanguo Entertainment in the future—SM, YG, and JYP.

  These three companies are inextricably linked with Han Guo's chaebol.

  They are either directly controlled by a chaebol, or have close relationships with different chaebols, and they have both sides.

  The remaining small and medium-sized entertainment companies can basically be divided into a clear chaebol camp.

  The two big chaebols like CJ and SK have been in the entertainment industry for many years.

  The name of the chairman of CJ Group is Lee Hyun Jae, which is only one letter away from Lee Fu Jin’s brother Lee Young Jae.

   This is because Lee Hyun Jae's father is Li Fuzhen's uncle.

   It was Li Mengxi, the eldest brother of the Li family who was kicked out of the Samsung group by Li Zaixi...

  Lee Hyun-jae is Li Fuzhen's cousin, but the relationship between the two families is not very good.

  It would be strange if the relationship between the abolished prince and the "fourth brother" is good.

  But the CJ Group can barely be regarded as a member of the Li family. It has mastered many TV stations in Hanguo, as well as resources such as the MAMA awards ceremony.

  JTBC, a well-known cable TV station in Han country, is held by the wife's family of the president of Samsung Group - Central Daily News, and naturally it is also CJ's right-hand man.

  The SK Group is the fourth largest chaebol group in Han Country, with nearly a hundred companies under its umbrella. JYP, one of the three major entertainment companies, belongs to the SK family.

   According to statistics, from 1992 to 2001, half of Han's top ten chaebol families were involved in criminal cases.

   This is still being exposed, a more serious type.

   Those who are not so serious, or have not been exposed at all, the number is unknown.

   For Han Guo, in fact, two words can sum it up, and these two words are "chaebol".

  It is very similar to the "chaebol" at Neon, and it is somewhat similar to the European and American consortiums but not quite the same.

   barely distinguish words.

   That is the "chaebol" of Nihong and Han, which is actually a special product formed by capitalists + feudal landlords under their special national conditions.

  Lie Fuzhen that kind of thing could happen yesterday.

   It means that she is here and is faintly rejected by these chaebols.

  Since being rejected by the chaebol.

  Then her actions in Han Guo's entertainment circle, of course, cannot go smoothly.

  Faced with this situation, Abel felt that the best way was to solve it from the source.

   And the source lies in the chaebol.

  Abel now wants to see what Li Zaixi will do.

   Otherwise, if Abel comes by himself.

  In addition to using Leon Laporte's relationship, use your own influence.

   Let the U.S. military stay here more, and some less important members of the chaebol will be killed in a car accident, so as to scare them away.

  Abel actually didn’t have a good idea.

  Because Han Guo has knelt down enough in terms of economy, military affairs, and diplomacy.

  It can be said that the entire country is already in the shape of that side.

   No matter how hard you want to toss, you can only do this.

  In addition to using car accidents, Abel can do it here.

  Only in Wall Street, get as many stocks as possible from these groups here, so as to gain more influence here.

  Let's put it this way, use a simple metaphor to describe it.

  That is after decades of development and limitations.

  The dog leash on Han Guo's body is already very stable, so stable that there are no external challengers or rescuers.

   Even the dog itself has no intention of struggling. Can only let the master toss.

  That Abel, one of the owners, what he wants to do to the dog, or wants to kill the dog.

  If Abel just wants to kill a few dogs to gain prestige, eat meat, and scare the dogs, then it’s okay.

   But if he wants to kill the more important dog, or wants to kill all the dogs.

  The other dog owners will definitely come and stop him.

  Because other dog owners still want to rely on these good dogs to work for them to make money.

  The best way Abel can do is to keep gaining control over more dogs from other "dog owners".

   That is, the ownership of the "dog leash".

  Finally become the biggest owner of the dog, so that the dogs will all obey him.

  The shares of the Han Guo chaebol he now controls are not enough.

  The dogs here are also worried that Li Fuzhen will come to **** their right to be dogs.

  Afraid that Li Fu would really step on them.

   So there is a boycott.

   Even something like that happened yesterday.

   It's just that these people, like Li Zaixi, underestimated two things.

  One is that Li Fuzhen is with Abel, not just a plaything.

  Abel's emphasis on illegitimate children is obviously much higher than that of normal Westerners.

  Let Li Fuzhen's status with Abel also be improved.

  Another thing is that they underestimate Abel's influence in America.

  If these people had known beforehand that Abe had such influence over people like Leon Laporte.

  Maybe they will still reject Li Fuzhen, fearing that she will step on top of their own heads.

  But they will never do anything to Li Fuzhen.

   It's just too late to say this now.

   Things have been done.

   Abel has come over.

  Li's action in the west has also begun.

  It was afternoon.

  When Abel was with the help of the Smith Brain Group.

  In a suite at the Shilla Hotel that was temporarily converted into an office, when conducting global office work and handling the internal affairs of the consortium.

  Li Xinyu returned to the hotel and found her sister.

   "Dad is coming later? Do you want to bring others? Who will you bring?"

   Li Fuzhen looked at the slim and beautiful younger sister, she asked with a smile.

"Hey…"

   Li Xinyu sighed, and said, "It's the family members of the other families."

   "Which ones?"

   "There are Cui family members and Ju family members. I don't know who exactly."

   Li Xinyu said.

   "Oh, so what did they do."

  Li Xinyu saw that her sister was very calm all the time, as if she already knew this.

  She could only continue to say: "Father and brother said, it was these Xiba who wanted to scare you, sister. They did what happened yesterday."

   "Really." Li Fu really looked noncommittal, she looked at her sister, "Then dad and brother, what did you ask you to come here for?"

   Facing the question of my sister, even though Li Xinyu had already thought of the answer outside.

  At this moment, she didn't know whether she should say that.

  Li Xinyu remembered what happened this morning when she followed her brother and father back home.

  When she first started going back, she was actually fine. Brother and father, just don't talk to her very much.

  After returning home, the sister-in-law was not as enthusiastic about Li Xinyu as before.

  Only the mother still loves her daughter as always.

  The change came after the family had lunch.

   There was a little silence, and the atmosphere was not good after lunch.

  Brother and dad went out to do something.

  Sister-in-law also returned to the room.

   Li Xinyu and Li Fuzhen's mother went to the little daughter's room to have a heart-to-heart talk with her.

  The mother and daughter, who haven't seen each other for a year, talked a lot.

  From the small things around Li Xinyu, finally talked about Li Fuzhen.

   "What your sister did a few years ago. Dad is the least favorite, the most annoying, but also the most helpless."

   "But what she's doing now. Even if Dad doesn't like it, he has accepted it. And he supports her very much."

   Li Xinyu's mother told her so.

  Li Xinyu is not an idiot.

  She is quite smart, and immediately understood what her mother was talking about.

   "Dad supported sister and became Abel's mistress?"

   Li Xinyu looked at her mother with beautiful eyes.

   "It would be a bit shameful to say it. But in fact, it is the way it is. Fu really has a big belly like that. Do you want to say that she is the posthumous child of Ren Sigui?"

   Mom replied.

   Li Xinyu complained in her heart, haven't you always said that to the outside world?

   At the beginning, I said I was fat, and I came back from eating fat in the United States.

  The belly is getting bigger in the back, and it can’t be rounded with fat, isn’t that what you say?

   A couple who haven’t seen each other for almost a year, the wife has her husband’s posthumous child in her stomach...

   Could it be XX in the air?

   "What does dad mean now?" Li Xinyu said, "Acquiescence?"

  Mother nodded and looked at her beautiful little daughter, feeling a little unbearable, but she didn't want to disobey, nor could she disobey her husband's will.

  Mom suddenly said: "Actually, your brother also meant the same thing..."

   Li Xinyu asked curiously: "Isn't my brother the most opposed before? He even objected to letting me transfer to New York University. How did you agree now?"

  Mum was silent for a while.

  The youngest daughter’s question is very heartbreaking.

  Mother Li knew that her son Li Rongzai originally objected to his younger sister being close to Western men in the United States.

   Also objected to the eldest sister Li Fuzhen, who became a foreigner's concubine after her husband died.

   That was the eldest son of the Li family, worried that the younger sisters would have words of support from their father's country.

  When they go back to Han to fight for property with him, he may not be able to grab it because of these external forces.

  But this morning, Li Rongzai had seen and heard Abel's "promise" with his own eyes.

   It doesn't matter what Li Zaixi thinks.

  Li Rongzai now wants to push all his sisters to this foreigner.

  As long as they don't steal his things, they are his good sisters.

  The ones who understand their son best are Li Zaixi and his wife.

  The son behaved like this, and the mother couldn't say anything.

  Even because of education and Han country tradition, Li’s mother actually supported her son and husband’s decision more.

  But out of maternal instinct, the mother will also feel sorry for the three daughters.

  Especially the youngest Li Xinyu.

  Li Xinyu didn't know that her mother was suddenly silent, and there was another reason for her troubles.

  Li Xinyu instead comforted her mother:

"Okay. Anyway, things have happened now, so that's the only way to go, right? What's more, Abel is very good except for his love. My sister followed him, wouldn't I have suffered too much."

  Mother suddenly asked in a low voice: "Then what Xinyu means is that you also think that foreigner is good?"

  Li Xinyu was startled, after thinking about it carefully, she still nodded and said:

   "Yes, that guy is perfect except for his playfulness. He is perfect in other aspects."

  Whether it is external or internal, or character, conscience and so on.

   Li Xinyu really thinks so.

  Mum seemed relieved to hear that.

   "That's good. Then Xinyu, you can get closer to him. After all, he is now your big brother-in-law. Right?"

  Li Xinyu always felt that what her mother said was a bit awkward.

  Why does her sister-in-law have to get close to her eldest brother-in-law?

   And when she felt her mother say those words.

  The concept of "closeness" does not refer to closeness in family.

   is closeness in another sense.

  In short, she felt weird at the time.

   But it was too late to distinguish clearly, and my mother left.

   Waiting until the afternoon, combined with a few words from his brother, father, and sister-in-law, Li Xinyu finally figured out some flavors.

  My family also want me to be a foreigner's concubine? !

   Li Xinyu was shocked.

  Afterwards, she was called by her father and told her to come to Shilla Hotel first and inform Li Fuzhen and Abel.

   This is how she came to find her sister Li Fuzhen now.

   Facing the problem of her sister, Li Xinyu couldn't say anything about her family, so maybe she asked me to come over and be your lover's concubine.

  She could only answer in a low voice: "Maybe I want you to be mentally prepared? They will bring someone to come to apologize and make amends?"

  Li Fuzhen, at this moment, combined with Han people's way of doing things.

  She also generally thought of how her father handled this matter.

  Thinking of this, Samsung Group, the eldest princess of the Li family nodded.

   "Then let's go to Abel. Let him know first, he is the person my father wants to apologize to the most."

   Li Xinyu nodded, and the two sisters went to find Abel.

  Abel learned of this when he saw them coming.

"Really?"

  He pondered for a while, "Then let's go to that place in the morning and wait for them to come. It's spacious enough, and the angle of enjoying the city view of Seoul is also very good."

  The two sisters certainly would not refuse.

   A group of people waited and came to the executive lounge on the 23rd floor of Shilla Hotel.

  The executive lounge of the Shilla Hotel in Seoul is known as the core element of the world's transnational luxury hotels.

  The total area here is 803 square meters, with the theme of the dreamy top-floor living room, creating a unique top-level business environment in the world.

  Including reception room, study room, dining area, etc., convenient for guests to work and rest.

  But since Abel checked in last night.

   This place has been temporarily closed to the outside world. Guests who live here on other floors will not be able to come in and enjoy it in a short period of time.

  Many guests were dissatisfied with this. After all, the people who can live here, whether they are Han people or foreigners, have more or less certain reputations.

   But no one will express their dissatisfaction, which is not because they are of good quality.

  But smart people know that they can make Shilla Hotel treat guests like this, even closing the signature executive lounge.

  Then how important his identity should be, how prominent his status should be.

   It may even be the leader of a neighboring country, or the leader of a big country.

   Such a guest, few people would want to rush him.

   If you are dissatisfied, at most you will curse a few words in your heart and when there is no one else.

  If people really come up to find trouble, even the princes of the chaebol would not dare.

  Abel and the Li family sisters came to the executive lounge and stayed for ten minutes.

  There was movement in the elevator hall.

   "Here we come." Li Xinyu saw his father walking in front.

  I saw that under the leadership of Li Zaixi.

  A few middle-aged and elderly Han people, and a few young Han people.

  Under the "protection" of Lincoln, Johnson and other bodyguards, he walked towards Abel.

   Same as this morning. When Li Xinyu saw her father and other middle-aged and elderly Han people approaching, she immediately stood up to show her respect.

  Similarly, Li Fuzhen, who was sitting opposite Abel, remained motionless as usual.

  Li Xinyu knew that her sister had already made up her mind to be Abel's concubine.

what about me?

  One day, I will be like my sister.

   Sitting next to him with a big belly?

   Such a thought flashed through Li Xinyu's mind.
