In 1994, Seoul was already considered a world-class prosperous metropolis. However, compared with the prosperity of later generations, there are currently many slogans here and not many Chinese characters on billboards.
Compared with later generations, the bustling Seoul lacks many Chinese elements, not because there are no shopkeepers from mainland China. But since South Korea abolished Chinese characters, senior officials have done their best to eliminate Chinese elements in their country. Now is the peak period, and it is also one of the biggest obstacles to Yang Dongxu's negotiations.
It was different in later generations. Although South Korea renamed Seoul to Seoul in 2005, it just wanted a fig leaf. Forty-five years after the abolition of Chinese characters, Koreans themselves could not understand their own historical books, so they had to restore them. Chinese characters.
Therefore, in later generations, whether in Korea or Japan, you can see many slogans written with Chinese characters and their own languages. Those with a smart mind who do not know Korean and Japanese can guess what the slogans mean by just looking at the Chinese characters.
After getting off the plane, Yang Dongxu went to the hotel where he was staying in Daben. Daben was airlifted from China when Zhou Ya came. Later generations saw that wealthy people who visited other countries not only brought tons of luggage with them, but also airlifted their horses there.
Yang Dongxu lamented more than once, I really can’t understand the world of rich people. This X-pretending person doesn’t know what to do except give likes.
Now he has also resorted to air transporting mounts. It's not because he has become inflated. Rather, it shows a gesture that you rarely see cars and various electronic products from other countries in South Korea.
No matter what they choose, they will first choose something from their own country, and then consider something from foreign countries. This is why the Korean people were in an uproar when later news broke that Korean kimchi is basically Made in China.
So since we are here to negotiate, especially when the other party is forced to negotiate under the pressure of Zhou Ya's identity and Haina, we must have enough airs.
Of course, it's not enough to just apply pressure without giving benefits. After all, the premise of cooperation is that it is reasonable for both parties. The American father still knows how to stuff sweet dates after giving South Korea a stick. Yang Dongxu has his own plan in mind.
Four Seasons Hotel Seoul, one of the most luxurious five-star hotels in Seoul, is located in Myeongdong, the busiest street in Seoul.
"Are you tired?" Seeing Zhou Ya standing at the door of the hotel to greet him, Yang Dongxu walked out without waiting for the waiter to open the door for him, and gave Zhou Ya a big hug.
"I was negotiating just now, so I didn't pick you up." Seeing Yang Dongxu, the coldness on Zhou Ya's face disappeared, like a blooming snow lotus, making everything around her lose its luster.
"I'm not a child who doesn't know the road. Besides, didn't the car go there? Have you been very tired recently? I feel like you are very tired." Looking at Zhou Ya, Yang Dongxu said with some distress.
Now is the critical moment for the overseas layout. Although Yang Dongxu really wants to let Zhou Ya rest, he really can't handle many things without Zhou Ya because of his temper.
Besides, Zhou Ya doesn't have the temperament to be idle. If you don't let her work, she will probably be even more tired than she is at work.
"I've been a little tired lately, and I've encountered a difficult opponent." Zhou Ya held Yang Dongxu's arm, and the two of them walked slowly towards the hotel.
"Oh?" Yang Dongxu turned to look at Zhou Ya in surprise.
In recent years, Zhou Ya has been flying around overseas to help Yang Dongxu acquire shares of companies he likes and carry out industry layout in advance. Whether it is negotiation or business operation methods, he is very powerful. In the previous circle, she was called the Queen from the East. This queen doesn't just refer to Zhou Ya's cold personality. The person who can be the queen is top-notch in terms of ability and skill.
So being called a difficult opponent by Zhou Ya, Yang Dongxu's first reaction was, could it be that the chairman of Samsung personally took action?
Yes, when talking about SBS shares and shareholding rights this time, Zhou Ya is not talking with the Korean government, nor is she talking with the chief director of SBS TV station, but with Samsung.
There is a saying on the Internet for later generations: There are three things that Koreans cannot avoid in their lives: death, taxes and Samsung. As a country with a conglomerate economy, few people would refute the fact that Samsung holds the economic lifeline of South Korea.
Therefore, although SBS is one of the three major TV stations in South Korea, the government only holds a measly less than 10% of the shares. The largest shareholder is Taixing Real Estate Construction Company, and Taixing is backed by Samsung.
Naturally, the negotiation must capture the person who can finally make the final decision, so Zhou Ya went to Samsung as soon as he came up and didn't even pay attention to Taixing.
"There is a dinner party tonight. You will know when you go there." Zhou Ya smiled and gave Yang Dongxu a pass.
This made Yang Dongxu even more curious about Zhou Ya's opponent, and ruled out the possibility of the Samsung leader personally negotiating.
In fact, compared with Samsung, whether Zhou Ya holds shares in international companies or Haina Film and Television Company is placed in front of the current Samsung, they are not enough.
It is not an exaggeration to say that the entire Asian economy is now the era of South Korea and Japan. The so-called Four Asian Tigers, excluding South Korea, Singapore, Hong Kong and Taiwan are even better than Japan when they are tied together. South Korea is an existence that can compete with Japan economically. . From this we can see the gap between several little dragons.
As for Samsung, it is the largest consortium in South Korea. Even if it is called a chaebol, it is not an exaggeration. Whether it is influence in South Korea or in the world, Zhou Ya and Yang Dongxu cannot compete now.
This is why Yang Dongxu did not let Haina Film and Television come forward first at the beginning, but asked Zhou Ya to borrow the influence of large companies in the United States, and then use almost all the power of Haina Film and Television to conduct this negotiation.
At present, Yang Dongxu's comprehensive strength is placed in front of Samsung, which is like the gap between Wanwan's economy and the domestic economy in later generations. The single-round individual looks pretty good, and it can barely count against the comprehensive three-star.
Standing in front of the window of the presidential suite of the Four Seasons Hotel overlooking the entire Myeongdong scenery, Yang Dongxu couldn't help feeling a little emotional. Thinking of his identity in his previous life, he probably wasn't qualified enough to work as a cleaner here even if he wanted to. But now that he is indeed the owner of this place, he can enjoy everything here that he could not even imagine before.
"What are you thinking about?" Zhou Ya hugged Yang Dongxu from behind after taking a shower.
The arrival of Yang Dongxu completely relieved Zhou Ya, who was originally nervous to negotiate. The little boy in front of her could always bring miracles to herself.
Zhou Ya, who was relaxed, took a nap in the afternoon and just woke up to take a bath.
"I'm wondering if I was a poor boy now and applied for a job as a cleaner in this hotel, could I be assigned to clean the presidential suite?"
"You don't think you can even apply for a job as a cleaner?"
"Why, after all, we are talented people. We are more than capable of standing at the door and greeting guests. Why can't we apply for the job as a cleaner?" Yang Dongxu stretched out his hand and pulled Zhou Ya down in front of him and held him in his arms.
"If you are a poor boy and can't go abroad, how can you come here to apply for a job as a cleaner?" Zhou Ya said with a smile.
Yang Dongxu was stunned for a moment: "Well... what you said makes sense, but I am speechless."
"Of course what I said makes sense." Zhou Ya is a bit arrogant. She only shows such a daughterly side in front of Yang Dongxu. Normally she is a cold queen.
"Yeah, everything my sister said is right. Beautiful sister, can you tell me who your negotiating opponent is, so I can make preparations first."
"Don't try to trick me. The banquet is about to start. Hurry up and get ready." Zhou Ya stretched out her finger and tapped Yang Dongxu's forehead.
Seeing Yang Dongxu pouting, he looked a little unhappy.
She stood up on her toes and kissed Yang Dongxu on the cheek, as if coaxing a child: "Okay, okay, be good, you will know in a minute, you have to be a little patient when doing things, you know?"
Yang Dongxu held Zhou Ya's waist without letting go, and moved his other face towards her: "Kiss me on this side too."
Zhou Ya's face looked like she really had nothing to do with you, and her red lips kissed Yang Dongxu's cheek again.
"And here." Yang Dongxu raised his mouth eagerly.
"There's still this place." Zhou Ya stretched out her hand and gave Yang Dongxu a head-shattering blow with such force that Yang Dongxu grinned.
"Ah, I'm injured. My head is so dizzy. I have to go to the hospital. I won't go to the dinner party." Yang Dongxu fell down on the thick sofa and covered his head to pretend to be injured.
Seeing Yang Dongxu's rogue appearance, Zhou Ya smiled at the corner of her mouth, leaned over, raised her red lips and blew on Yang Dongxu's forehead: "Does it really hurt?"
"Well, it hurts, it hurts." A grown man acted like a baby, and he still had a forty-year-old uncle in his heart. At this time, Yang Dongxu was disgusted by himself.
"Then let me give you a kiss, so it won't hurt."
"Okay, okay." Yang Dongxu immediately took away the hand covering his forehead.
boom!
Another brain collapsed on Yang Dongxu's forehead. Zhou Ya reached out and grabbed his ears and said fiercely, "Get up quickly, the time is almost up."
"Sister, you have changed and you don't love me anymore." Yang Dongxu pouted with dissatisfaction on his face.
"I used to indulge you too much. Tell me, what's going on with Zhuo Qing'er, and what's going on with Chen Hong?"
"Nothing happened, nothing really happened. They are just friends, really friends. Nothing happened between them and me." Yang Dongxu felt a little guilty when Zhou Ya saw him.
This is only knowing about Chen Hong and Zhuo Qing'er. If he knew that he and Yu Feihong went to meet their parents before coming...
"Oh, it's almost time for the party. I'm going to take a shower first." Yang Dongxu suddenly stood up and broke free of the fingers on his ears and ran towards the bathroom, then slammed the door shut: "Don't come in, I'm taking off my clothes."
Zhou Ya walked to the bathroom door and knocked on the door. She crossed her arms and said with a smile on her face: "Would you like me to give you a bath?"
"No, no, I can do it on my own, no matter how old I am."
"You don't want it yourself. Don't say that I won't help you in the future."
Uh-huh!
The door to the bathroom opened, and Yang Dongxu stuck his head out, startling Zhou Ya. He looked at Zhou Ya with bright eyes and said, "You really want to help me take a bath."
"Yes, do you want to try it?" Zhou Ya gritted her teeth after reacting. She clearly saw that the evil smile on Yang Dongxu's face had not completely disappeared.
Snapped! Yang Dongxu quickly closed the door.
