It should be the last snow in 2008, that’s what the weather forecast says anyway.
After a shameless Lunar New Year, everyone is focusing on work and career.
After all, this is the main theme of life. Making money is the way to go. How can you live without money?
The same goes for Gao Bin, he has his own ambitions.
In the past, the most popular saying in Bangguo was: There are three things that people in Bangguo cannot live without in their lives - death, taxes, and four stars!
And Gao Bin is going to add another sentence to them: Life and entertainment are all GB!
24-hour convenience stores have sprouted everywhere in less than half a year. There are as many as 40 stores in Seoul alone. Together with Busan, Incheon, Daegu and other major cities, there are already more than 70 stores nationwide.
But this is far from enough. Gao Bin’s goal is to quadruple the current number, which is probably about the same.
At present, all convenience stores are operated by the group itself, and there is no plan to adopt the franchise model.
Although this will increase operating costs and reduce profits, it will help create a more long-lasting and stable brand!
The most important thing is that it is conducive to building GB's own membership system. This is the person Gao Bin values most.
All business models will be invincible as long as they can gather a stable customer group or have a stable passenger flow.
Again, when it comes to business, Gao Bin is at the ancestral level.
And a business master who is courageous and dares to be ruthless is even more invincible.
Take your time, as long as you give him some time, GB will become as terrifying as a four-star existence sooner or later.
But before that, he must keep climbing up and wipe out all the enemies in front of him. Only when there are fewer and fewer people who threaten him can the GB Group survive forever!
...
In Club G, Gao Bin is playing a blindfolded hide-and-seek game with Han Hyo-joo in the box.
In fact, Gao Bin just took the opportunity to eat tofu, but he couldn't resist the excitement. Anyway, he had a lot of fun.
At this time, there was a knock on the box door. Han Xiaozhu gasped and pushed Gao Bin away, quickly straightened her clothes and said:
"President, stop playing, someone is knocking on the door."
Gao Bin was having fun and almost went to second base. What a disappointment!
He grabbed the blindfold and threw it aside, shouting angrily:
"Come in!"
Park Mincan opened the door and revealed half of his head:
"Brother, are you busy?"
"I was busy just now, but I'm not busy now. If you have anything to say, please tell me!" Gao Bin complained angrily, grabbed the wine glass and took a sip of wine.
"Hey, brother, you guys can continue after I've finished saying this. It's like this, S~M really did something cool."
Gao Bin was stunned for a moment:
"Girls' Generation?"
"Yes, at the just-concluded concert, their fans fought among themselves. As a result, Girls' Generation was silenced. The media called it the Black Sea Incident!"
Gao Bin squinted his eyes, thoughtfully:
"Do you think S~M did it himself?"
"It's confirmed. I asked someone to check it. It should be Kim Young-min's handiwork. In order to make the girl group he created become famous quickly, black and red are also red."
Gao Bin nodded:
"If you look at it this way, it is estimated that there will be a second and third time in a short period of time."
"Then I don't know, should we take action?"
Gao Bin waved his hand:
"Wait a minute, I think there will be a follow-up. If things go wrong, this girl group will be asked to temporarily stop their activities. When the time comes, go and find Lee Soo Man directly. This old fox is the one who talks about S~M." p>
Park Mincan nodded:
"I understand, but do you really not want to have some secret contact? At least look at the opinions of those children, what if they don't want to?"
Gao Bin sneered:
"When did you become so easy to talk to? Are you being manipulated by a few dancers? Then don't come to see me again. You can't afford to embarrass this person!"
Park Mincan looked straight:
"Brother, don't worry, I'm not out of kindness. If they don't obey, I have plenty of ways to deal with them!"
"Well, I understand, is there anything else?"
"Yes~" Park Mincan put an invitation on the table:
"For the birthday party of Chairman Kang Se-hun of the Film Promotion Committee, I specially sent an invitation to you from my secretary. Please be sure to attend."
Gao Bin is suspicious:
"Invite me? Why? I don't know him."
"I guess it has something to do with another big shot in the film industry."
Gao Bin narrowed his eyes and asked:
"Tell me, who is it related to?"
"Kim Dong-ho, chairman of the Busan Film Festival, used to be the chairman of the Film Promotion Committee. Kang Se-hun was promoted by Kim Dong-ho. This man once served as deputy minister of the Ministry of Culture and Tourism and is one of the most senior big shots in the industry.
One."
Gao Bin frowned, still puzzled:
"Even if this Jin Donghu wants to find me, what is his purpose?"
Park Minchan burst into laughter:
"My guess is that it probably has something to do with the Busan Film Festival and is looking for sponsorship from us."
"What?"
"Who doesn't know that GB Film and Television is rich now? And the GB Group that backs it is even more new, so it's reasonable for the other party to have their thoughts on us."
Gao Bin complained:
"He's a psycho. He wants to pay me for money. I still have to understand him? If I don't go, I don't have time to deal with him."
Park Mincan smiled bitterly:
"No, brother, just go there as a favor to me. GB Film and Television cannot do without the support of the Film Promotion Committee, and if we form a good relationship with Kim Dong Ho, our movies will also be able to take part in the classification in the future.
To a certain advantage!"
Gao Bin thought for a moment:
"Okay, I'll give you face, but how much does it cost to sponsor the Busan Film Festival?"
"Why should it be 5 million US dollars?"
"So many?" Gao Bin raised his eyebrows.
"I'm going to base this on the bottom line."
"They are so poor, how can they still be picky?"
"Last year, it was sponsored by CJ Entertainment. I heard that the sponsorship amounted to US$10 million."
Gao Bin shook his head:
"It's not worth it, it's not worth it."
"Brother, no matter what, if you go there, it's just a favor. We'll talk about it later if you like it or not!"
"Okay~"
Han Xiaozhu sat aside obediently and made no sound from the beginning to the end. Gao Bin did not let her go out, which meant that he did not treat her as an outsider and also allowed her to hear many secrets.
...
In the evening, the Shilla Hotel, as the top hotel in Seoul, is considered an honor to be able to hold any event here.
Jiang Sehun's birthday banquet was held in the Maple Leaf Banquet Hall, which is the smallest banquet hall in the Shilla Hotel, but it is more than enough for a birthday banquet.
Gao Bin actually arrived early, but he did not enter the venue. Instead, he went to Li Fuzhen's office and teased the eldest princess as usual.
"Aren't you going to the banquet? Why don't you go?"
Li Fuzhen was so disgusted when he said this. He really hoped that he would leave quickly. If he didn't leave, he would be pissed to death.
"What's the rush? If you want money from me, you have to be willing to ask for money. Just wait!"
"See what you can do. By the way, how is the GB Plaza project? My sister-in-law is waiting eagerly."
"The foundation stone will be laid next month. It's too cold now."
"Well, then remember to inform her of the progress and don't make her anxious."
"Don't worry, my princess."
"Go, who is yours?"
"Hey, if it's really me, would you mind?"
"Go away, you're out of shape again while talking."
"You can't take a joke."
Gao Bin casually picked up the dessert on Li Fuzhen's table and ate a piece.
Li Fuzhen has long been used to this. This guy's face is as shameless as a bulletproof car, and even sniper rifle bullets can't penetrate it.
Speaking of sniper rifles, a big event happened in Seoul a few days ago.
Shi Dongchu, chairman of Kinmen Group, was shot between the eyebrows by a sniper on his way home by car and died on the spot!
And this case, which should have caused an uproar, was quietly overshadowed by an entertainment star.
However, just because ordinary people don’t know the inside story doesn’t mean that interested people don’t pay attention.
Everyone is speculating on the impact of Shi Dongchu's death.
The first one to bear the brunt is the Kinmen Group, which will inevitably fall into endless internal strife!
Secondly, will GB Group, which had a huge falling out with Kinmen Group last year, try to add insult to injury?
These are all worth pondering.
Although Hun He's status is not high, if anyone has the opportunity to control the entire underground world of Seoul, no one will let it go.
This is a typical double standard!
Gao Bin was noncommittal about this. Anyway, he should eat and sleep. Even if Shi Dongchu died eight hundred times, it would have nothing to do with him. He was not the one who killed him!
Neither the police nor the prosecutor's office were too excited and would not give up until they found out the real culprit behind the scenes. Both parties tacitly chose to deal with it in a low-key manner.
Set up an investigation team at random, conduct a simple investigation, and wait until clues are found. If not, leave it at that.
Anyway, if you die, just die, there is no pity.
On the contrary, everyone is very interested in Shi Dongchu's legacy. This old fox has been busy for most of his life, so he should have accumulated a lot of wealth, right?
I heard that the police, under the order of the prosecutor, seized all the properties and accounts under Shi Dongchu’s name overnight. This is a clear plan to confiscate the property and enter it into the public account.
Back to business, I chatted with Li Fuzhen for a while, and saw that the time was almost up. If he didn’t go out, he would be scolded for pretending.
After briefly adjusting the dress, Li Fuzhen saw that he was adjusting the tie here and there, but it was not straight. He simply stood up and came to Gao Bin, raising his hands to help him adjust the position of the tie.
The distance between the two sides is very close, so close that Gao Bin can reach first base just by lowering his head.
Such a distance makes the atmosphere of ambiguity soar rapidly. If the office was not large enough, the room temperature would have soared by now.
Li Fuzhen looked at his handiwork with satisfaction, and accidentally looked at Gao Bin, and couldn't move away anymore.
There is a strong telepathy between men and women, especially at such a distance, it is impossible to hide what the other person is thinking.
What's more, the ambiguity between the two has been long enough, and they need a vent to vent it out.
For one second, two seconds, three seconds, Gao Bin's hands wrapped around his slender but voluptuous waist in an extremely natural way.
Feeling the trembling of his body in the palm of his hand, Gao Bin lowered his head slightly, further closing the distance between the two parties.
"Don't..."
Seeing those lips getting closer and closer to him, Li Fuzhen's final reserve could no longer be stretched.
Gao Binquan pretended not to hear her words. At this time, the king of heaven came and couldn't stop him from going to first base.
Boom!
Li Fuzhen only felt that his scalp exploded, and the accumulated flood surged out. It was over, it was over, and this little bastard finally succeeded!
Staring his eyes, Li Fuzhen's thoughts were confused and his body was out of control.
However, when Gao Bin wanted to go further, Li Fuzhen got excited and took half a step back with the last bit of strength in his body.
Her lips were reddish, and she spoke softly, half coquettishly and half rationally:
"Not yet!"
At this time, Gao Bin showed enough patience and gentlemanly manners, nodded and said:
"Okay, I respect you."
"Thank you!" Li Fuzhen was really moved. She knew very well that men are irrational at this time.
However, Gao Bin controlled his desire for her, and she was certainly moved.
"Why are you talking about this? It will happen sooner or later, I am not in a hurry!"
Li Fuzhen bit his lip and muttered:
"Bad guy!"
"Haha, men are not bad, but women are not loving. Okay, you can stay by yourself for a while. I will go down and be back soon."
How dare Li Fuzhen let him stay here?
If she does it again, let alone Gao Bin, she herself won’t be able to bear it anymore.
"Go quickly."
"Well, see you later!"
...
The banquet hall is integrated with nature.
At night, it becomes even more quiet and full of ancient charm.
A wedding happened to be held in the inner garden of the Guest House. The couple also had a certain family background, otherwise they would not be able to afford the high cost of the Shilla Hotel.
On one side of the pavilion in the outer garden of the Guesthouse, records of leaders from various countries staying in Silla are recorded.
The grass is luxuriant, and even though winter has not passed yet, the flowers are still in bloom, and it is decorated with sculptures from time to time. It is completely like a botanical garden.
Just the investment in greening in different seasons throughout the year accounts for a large part of the Shilla Hotel's expenditure.
The outdoor swimming pool with constant temperature in all seasons and the gorgeous lights are dazzling.
Many guests dressed in fine clothes were chatting and reminiscing by the pool with wine glasses in their hands. People could also be seen flowing in the resort-style pavilion nearby.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Gao Bin called the waiter, grabbed a glass of champagne and walked among the guests.
Everyone here today is from the entertainment industry. Gao Bin doesn’t know any of them, so naturally he won’t be talked to.
When he was hesitating whether to call Park Mincan, he caught sight of Cha Taehyun and Park Mincan beside him.
I walked over, and as I got closer, I heard Park Mincan chatting with a certain company president about the movie's failure this year.
Gao Bin stopped and listened for a moment. There was nothing nutritious, so he interrupted:
"Minchan~"
"Brother? You are finally here. Come on, I will take you to Chairman Jiang!"
He didn’t mean to introduce Gao Bin to the other party, so he pulled him towards the banquet hall.
"Brother, they have just contacted several clubs, and none of them are interested in exclusive sponsorship."
"Oh, it's 10 million U.S. dollars after all. It's not a small amount."
"Yes, but this is an opportunity for us. We can take the opportunity to put forward a few more conditions."
Gao Bin didn't say anything:
"Let's see and then talk."
In the banquet hall, guests gathered, drinking and drinking, and the big stars who usually stood high, regardless of men or women, all gathered around the big shots with smiling faces.
When a big shot takes a sip of wine, these celebrities have to toast. If their fans see it, they will feel very distressed.
He shook his head and ignored this amusing scene. He followed Park Mincan to the side hall. There were many people here, but it was relatively quiet. After all, not everyone was qualified to come in.
"Chairman Jiang, Chairman Jin, hey Yigu, I kept you guys waiting for a long time."
Park Minchan immediately sent a smile.
"Haha, President Park, you came at the right time. We were just talking about GB Film and Television. Starting from this year, GB Film and Television is the only film and television company that can make money. Everyone is discussing what tricks you have." p>
The person who spoke was an official from the Film Promotion Committee. Looking at his fat head and big ears, you could tell at a glance that he was not a good guy.
"Hey Yigu, your Excellency is joking. There is no special trick. It all depends on the support of all leaders. By the way, let me introduce you to Gao Bin, the chairman of GB Group, the parent company of GB Film and Television!"
"Brother, this is..."
Following Park Mincan's efforts, Gao Bin finally met several big figures in the film industry.
As for the celebrities surrounding them, Gao Bin knows them all, but Park Mincan has no intention of introducing them at all. Are they worthy?
Chairman Jiang, on the other hand, held the hand of a beautiful woman and introduced her:
"You should know this President Gao, right? The pride of our country, the outstanding talent that can only be born on the peninsula, Miss Song Huiqiao."
Gao Bin almost vomited when he heard the other party's introduction. How many kimchi would he have to eat to say such shameless words?
"Oh, of course I know you. Miss Song's "Full House" is very popular in Asia, and my wife also likes to watch it."
"That's such an honor, President Gao." Song Huiqiao bowed politely.
"Haha~ You're welcome~"
Gao Bin didn't even look at the other person from the beginning to the end. It was enough to say a polite word to Jiang to save face. What else did he want?
Seeing that Gao Bin was not interested in chatting with the beauty, Jiang Shixun immediately realized that this young man was different and simply changed the subject.
As for how Song Huiqiao feels after being ignored? Who cares?
"President Gao? Could you please move over and have a chat?"
Gao Bin nodded, is this right? He has a net worth of tens of millions every minute, how can he have time to talk nonsense with you old gangsters?
Walking next to him was Kim Dong Ho. As Park Min Chan expected, tonight was just to attract sponsorship.
"President Gao, what do you think of the Busan Film Festival?" Jiang Shixun asked bluntly.
Glancing at Jin Donghu, Gao Bin muttered:
"The idea is good. Peninsula films have always been circulated in this small circle. If you want to go out and increase your international influence, you must have a large enough platform. At present, only the Busan Film Festival has this ability.
”
Jiang Shixun chuckled:
"President Gao has seen a lot of blood. He is worthy of being an outstanding person who can lead the GB Group to invincibility at a young age!"
"Your Majesty, Chairman, you are so polite~"
At this time, Jin Donghu, who had been silent and kept listening, spoke. His old voice represented the highest authority in the Korean film industry!
"President Gao, now the Busan Film Festival is in trouble. If we can't get sponsorship in time, I'm afraid this year's film festival will be cancelled. This is something I, an old man, don't want to see. It will also be a painful blow to the development of the film festival.
."
Gao Bin remained silent and waited quietly for the next chapter.
He made up his mind not to let the rabbit out of his sight. If the other party was not prepared for heavy bleeding, don't even think about taking out even a steel penny from his pocket!
