In fact, Chu Ge had done some homework before coming here.

It's just that the things about "big shots" cannot be accurate and detailed just from public information, and I didn't ask my mother for the inside information.

I only know that it has been less than ten years since the rise of Datang Group. Tang Jinyan, the founder, chairman and president of the group, is only 36 or 7 this year. No one can understand the process of its rise. It always feels like riding a rocket. I don't know when I will be able to compete with major financial groups.

It seems that he didn’t start in the entertainment industry. He probably started in foreign trade? There is also an encyclopedia that says it sells pork, but I don’t know whether it’s true or not. Later, it seems that it took advantage of the large-scale development of Jeju Island and built a large-scale film and television city and tourist city. From then on, it entered the fast lane. Then he used this to get involved in the entertainment industry and dominated half of the entertainment industry.

In the end, I don’t know what the operation was, but Hanjin Shipping was swallowed up. After taking control of the lifeline of South Korea’s shipping, I finally became a chaebol.

Generally speaking, it is a large group spanning trade, infrastructure, tourism, entertainment, logistics and other industries.

Of course, he is definitely incomparable to the old chaebols like Samsung, but for some reason, Samsung and CJ, the mortal enemies, have a very ambiguous relationship with him, which sometimes even makes outsiders feel that the relationship between them is mixed. Logically speaking, this is impossible, let alone a Chinese... It's really smoke and mirrors, and I can't explain.

In short, when he came to Korea, he met such a local snake. It always made Chu Ge feel like he went to investigate a case somewhere in Gu Long's novels and met the snake king, and this one was obviously much stronger than the snake king...

If he had come to meet such a person a year ago, Chu Ge would probably feel uneasy, but now he basically doesn't feel anything at all.

Even if we are bigger than others, we are still the way of heaven in the same world.

snort.

What is left is admiration for the other party's ability. No matter how you think about it, this is indeed not easy.

The headquarters of Datang Group is located in Gangnam District, Seoul. The building is quite new. It looks like it was just built in the past few years. The company's logo is the two seal characters "Datang", which is simple and powerful.

Following the crow into the building, Chu Ge felt that what was most different from those in China was that wherever they passed, all the employees would bow and salute, extremely respectfully.

"Is Korean culture like this?" Chu Ge couldn't help but quietly asked Xie Wenyuan: "I haven't seen Korean dramas that are so outrageous."

"Only for crows, not for guests... This one is also a BOSS, and Korea's hierarchy is very strict." Xie Wenyuan paused and smiled: "How about, walking in this atmosphere, do you have the desire to be a master? desire?"

Chu Ge nodded slightly, a little to be honest, as if the blood deep in his heart was throbbing.

At least if you don't want to be the one who bows to others, then you have to work hard to climb up.

The original driving force is sometimes intuitive.

By the way, this country is said to be a capitalist society, but it seems that the remnants of feudalism are very serious.

Xie Wenyuan looked at Chu Ge and his wife. Both of them looked like curious babies, which was incompatible with this environment. He can't help but be a little funny, even he can't help but become solemn in this kind of atmosphere. I really don't know how these two can be so natural. Is this the wildness of an artist?

We arrived at a reception room on the top floor. The door was open. When we walked in front of the door, we saw a big man sitting alone on the sofa, pouring and drinking Kung Fu tea. The aroma of tea was overflowing. As if he heard footsteps, the big man turned his head and looked over. With a sharp look in his eyes, Chu Ge felt a tiger turn its head.

One word emerged in Chu Geqiu Wuji's mind at the same time: As powerful as a tiger.

The strange thing is that he is obviously only thirty-six or seventeen years old, very young, but his hair is already gray. The way he was sitting there making tea seemed a bit elegant for no reason, diluting the tiger-like fierceness to the minimum.

The crow bowed: "Brother Ninth."

The big man showed a bright smile, and his white teeth were very bright: "I arrived earlier than I expected. It seems that there will be no traffic today. Come on, why are you standing at the door? Come and drink the cinnamon that just arrived yesterday."

The couple followed Xie Wenyuan and walked in. They looked at the Chinese cursive calligraphy hanging on the wall, smelled the fragrance of tea in the room, and listened to the standard Chinese conversation. They secretly thought that if they didn't know that they came to Korea, how would this be the same as in China? What's the difference?

"Mr. Chu Ge, Miss Qiu Wuji, nice to meet you." The big man smiled and stretched out his hand across the table to shake their hands: "I am Tang Jinyan, just call me Tang Jiu."

Chu Ge felt that he was more casual than Xie Wenyuan, whom he had just met, and couldn't help but said: "Looking at the atmosphere of your company all the way, I thought Mr. Tang was a very serious person, and thought the meeting would be very stressful, but I didn't expect him to be so easy-going."

Tang Jinyan laughed loudly: "Strict or not, whether there is pressure or not, that is the psychology brought by status. If you feel that the CEO of Datang is great, you will naturally feel pressure. If you don't think it is a big deal, it is just two eyes and one Nose. Look, you say I am easy-going, but you don’t see Lao Xie’s dead face and his breathing becomes cautious.”

Xie Wenyuan: "..."

Qiu Wuji said: "Your Majesty is not angry but is intimidating. It is not unusual for people to be frightened by this. It is not purely because of his status."

Tang Jinyan glanced at her in surprise and chuckled: "Miss Qiu's words, well... if you say you are powerful without anger, has anyone ever said the same to you?"

Qiu Wuji was stunned and said nothing.

She was not as careless as Chu Ge. The other party's "power" really aroused her alertness, which naturally led to her sharpness. However, the other party obviously had no cultivation, but his intuition was so sharp.

Tang Jinyan glanced at her thoughtfully, but didn't stay too long. He quickly made tea and shared cups with everyone, and said with a smile: "If you have rough hands and feet, don't be rude."

Chu Ge later realized that this guy didn’t have a secretary...

weirdo.

Xie Wenyuan took the tea and carefully placed it on the coffee table. At this moment, he seemed to have entered the role and said with a smile: "I feel that Mr. Tang is in a good mood."

Tang Jinyan laughed and said, "I'm already in a good mood when I'm a visitor from my hometown. Seeing the charming characters makes my mood even better."

He took a sip of tea and got to the topic directly: "I took the time to watch the third and fourth episodes of the animation yesterday. It was still very good. If we keep it up at this level, I guarantee that the Korean market will definitely be able to do so." Make a tear."

Xie Wenyuan seemed to be very accustomed to his style of painting that went straight to the subject without a few words of greeting. He answered smoothly: "Penguin also knows that this is something you attach great importance to, and it is rare to do it with care."

Chu Ge secretly thought that there was such a factor... Before he could say anything, Tang Jinyan took the initiative and said to him: "Penguin and I have some cooperation in games and entertainment, and we also have some cross-shareholdings, so we can talk about it."

Chu Ge was a little speechless: "Why is a big tycoon like Mr. Tang so low-profile in the country? Isn't he too low-key?"

"Have you heard of Gu Guangmo?"

"Condensing film? What kind of film is that?"

"That is the current chairman of LG, the seventeenth on the Forbes list of South Korea's richest people."

Chu Ge: "..."

Tang Jinyan laughed and said: "So, apart from the Samsung family and Zheng Mengzhun, who is famous for playing football and running for elections, who else is famous in the country?"

Chu Ge thought for a long time, then laughed and said: "It seems that there are only a few...not counting the president...oh, I have heard of Li Xiuman."

"Lee Soo Man's level is much lower. The reason why he is famous is due to the communication ability of the entertainment industry." Tang Jinyan said: "Having said that, I was somewhat well-known in China a few years ago, and it was also due to my relationship with the entertainment industry. . Later, due to the changes in China-South Korea relations, there was a ban on South Korea at that time, and it basically lost its reputation. Our cooperation this time also has a lot to do with the communication value of the entertainment industry."

Chu Ge said sincerely: "Mr. Tang is in South Korea, but he hopes to export Chinese culture. I admire this very much."

Tang Jinyan waved his hand: "To put it bluntly, there are people who have always been involved in cultural export, but I am not so bold as to take the credit."

Chu Ge was stunned for a long time: "Is there any?"

Tang Jinyan said: "You may all know that the Korean Wave is coming, and South Korea's K-POP and Korean dramas once had a great impact. But what you may not know is that before that, there were many Chinese dramas that dominated the charts in South Korea?"

"I really don't know much..."

"For example, "Huan Zhuge Ge" is very typical, and its influence even continues to this day - South Korea still likes to introduce Chinese Qing palace dramas, such as "The Legend of Zhen Huan", which was translated into "Emperor Yongzheng's Women" and "Story of Yanxi Palace" , translated as "Emperor Qianlong's Women"..."

Xie Wenyuan turned his head away unable to look straight, and Chu Geqiu was stunned.

It seems that liking Qing palace dramas has nothing to do with Chinese people, and the same goes for going overseas. This translation is really awesome.

Tang Jinyan said with a half-smile: "You can't think of it? The so-called cultural export has indeed always existed, and it is continuous."

Chu Ge shook his head: "I really can't think of it."

"But it's a pity that the projects introduced are biased, or other markets don't recognize it. Apart from Qing palace dramas, there are only ancient puppet romance dramas, suspense crimes, and comedies that can make some splash." Tang Jinyan said lightly: "Too It’s monotonous, and actually has basically nothing to do with culture. It wouldn’t be inconsistent if it were changed to any other country. On the contrary, Qing palace dramas still have some meaning in this aspect.”

Chugo nodded.

"To put it bluntly, everyone's purpose is not to export anything, but to make money. Cultural export is just a piece of gold for themselves while making money, that's all." Tang Jinyan said slowly: "There is nothing wrong with this. It cannot be separated. If the market does not recognize it, the output effect will be zero. We must first open up the market before talking about other things."

Having said this, he slowly added a cup of tea to himself, watched the tea flowing, and continued in a daze: "But it has been too long now... everyone is just for the market, and it seems that they have forgotten other things and forgotten to continue. An attempt to give other meanings. They can forget, but I can't. I, Tang Jinyan, have been making waves in the Korean entertainment industry for so many years. If I don't try, who will?"

PS: Tang Jinyan is the protagonist of the old work "Korean Entertainment: Light and Shadow". He makes a cameo appearance here. Old readers will smile knowingly as an easter egg. New readers don't need to care who this is. They regard it as a new supporting character in this book and it does not affect their reading. It just happens to be an imaginary world line. There are too many concerns in the real world.
