Chapter 191 Why?
"I'm not a bad person. I really have something to ask you!"
As Huang Xu spoke, the two girls in front of him quickened their pace, and in the blink of an eye, they disappeared from Huang Xu's sight.
Looking at the two people's disappearing backs and the looks from the people around him, Huang Xu's face showed an embarrassed expression again.
Just now, after hanging up Goo Hara's video, he was waiting near them for the performance to finish.
When they finished their performance and started to pack up, I would go up to them and "chat them up".
Of course, he said he was just chatting them up, but his purpose was not to pick up girls. Instead, he wanted to get to know them and then find a chance to poach them and their groups.
However, what Huang Xu did not expect was that his behavior of chatting up the two people made them feel very scared. Not only did they not respond, but they quickened the pace of packing their luggage and then followed the staff away.
Huang Xu was left alone, standing there awkwardly, being stared at by the crowd around him.
There is no way around it. In today's South Korea, the conflict between men and women has become extremely serious.
His behavior of picking up girls is like that of a clown who overestimates his own abilities.
Therefore, after Huang Xu felt the gazes of the people around him, the embarrassment he had just felt appeared on his face again, and then he just lowered his head and left.
However, although Huang Xu felt embarrassed by the two people's behavior, he was not angry about it.
There's no way. Now that I think about it, his sudden behavior of striking up a conversation was indeed a bit abrupt.
As an idol girl group, albeit an unknown and failed one, their first reaction to being suddenly approached by onlookers was to leave quickly, which was also reasonable.
And Huang Xu didn't feel disappointed that he didn't get their contact information.
Reality is not an idol drama. There won’t be a plot where you can never find each other again after breaking up.
Huang Xu at this moment was different from the last time he saw them, when he was confused and didn't know their names.
This time, I already know their names and the name of their group.
More importantly, in South Korea, in a city like Seoul where the entertainment industry is extremely developed, it is easy for Huang Xu to contact and find them as a commercial girl group.
After all, Seoul is so small, and there are so many people working in the entertainment industry, so it is easy to find out their contact information and contact them.
However, Huang Xu is not in a hurry about these things. According to his memory, these members of Eddie's group will not become popular until 2015.
It is only the beginning of 2013, and there are still more than two years before they become popular in 2015, so he doesn't need to be in a hurry at all.
Huang Xu then got back into the car, drove back to the apartment, and spent a "lonely" night alone.
Then after getting up early the next morning, I went to the company and started busying myself with some company matters.
Although his uncle Huang Wenfu had finished his trip and returned to the company, he began to deal with some trivial matters in the company.
But his uncle working in the company doesn't mean he can do nothing, go out and have fun every day and do nothing.
Moreover, Uncle Huang Wenfu is now mainly responsible for handling various trivial matters of the franchise company.
As for the affairs of those Internet software companies and the newly established brokerage company, he has no control over them.
He was able to manage a franchise company because he had worked in the hotel industry for so long that he knew almost everything about hotels.
Although I have never managed a company before, I know everything about the franchise company now, if not everything about it, then I am very good at it.
After all, he has done and experienced all these things himself, so when he manages, he will not be easily deceived by the employees below, and can therefore manage with ease.
But when it comes to these Internet companies, mobile software, and even brokerage companies, he is a little confused.
Of course, Huang Xu didn’t really understand any of this, but who could blame him for not having eaten pork, but having seen pigs run?
He also believes that professional matters should be left to professionals, and he should not be a layman guiding professionals.
He just needs to know his ultimate goal.
Then he assigns the tasks and leaves the rest to those people. He doesn't care about the process, as long as he can achieve his goal, it is considered a success.
For example, the second franchise product he chose, which is pickled fish, is now handed over to Zhang Rui, Huang Chao and Song Yiming to handle in Huaxia.
This is an easy thing to say, all you have to do is make everything into a semi-finished meal package.
But when it comes to doing this, it is not as simple as it sounds.
The first thing is the fish fillet cooking package. Although he decided to use cod fillets, he also needed to make adjustments based on the actual situation.
You also need to take a look at the fish fillets processed in the factory to see how they taste after being thawed and heated.
If the taste is not suitable, you need to replace it with a more suitable fish.
And if there are cheaper and more suitable fish species, we can also produce some and put them in Korea for experimentation to see how the market accepts them.
In short, all of this needs to be adjusted according to the specific situation.
In addition to the semi-finished fish fillet, they also need to customize the fish sauerkraut base with the right flavor, preferably a cooking package that has already been fried and seasoned.
This way, when you use it in the restaurant again, you only need to heat the fish and sauerkraut cooking packet in the pot, then put in the fish fillets and serve.
To get these things done, they need to stay near the factory for a long time and constantly adjust and adapt the taste.
Now Huang Xu has handed these over to Huang Chao and Zhang Rui. As for the remaining Song Yiming, he needs to find manufacturers to customize some equipment while ensuring the daily supply of more than 100 Malatang stores.
Huang Xu is now opening a franchise chain store, so their equipment cannot be purchased ready-made on the market. It is best to have it customized from the manufacturer.
And not only the equipment, but also the pots, pans, and even the work clothes inside need to be customized.
After all, after these things are shipped to South Korea, they all need to be purchased by franchisees, and they are also the invisible profit point of the franchise chain company.
Moreover, these can also improve the store image and increase the public's awareness of their own brand.
Huang Xu naturally would not let these go.
However, since there are three of them handling these matters in China, Huang Xu does not need to pay attention to everything. He only needs to listen to their reports every two days.
Since he doesn't need to worry about this matter, he can't escape the affairs of the agency.
Although he found Jin Taiyu as a tool through the relationship of Sunny's family, it does not mean that he has to run around to handle everything. First of all, Huang Xu cannot completely ignore the personnel he will recruit next, especially for several important departments, he needs to make final confirmation.
Otherwise, when the company develops, he will know nothing about the company's affairs and he doesn't even know the people in the company, especially those in several important departments.
If James and Kim Tae-woo join forces, he will easily be sidelined by the two of them, and then the company's affairs will have nothing to do with him.
If this situation really happened, he would be in trouble.
In addition to the affairs of the agency, he also has things to do at the software company.
Of course, there isn’t much going on in software companies these days.
The software company is still working inside the franchise company and has only about twenty employees.
Because Huang Xu's early functional design of the software was very perfect, the first version of the official software was also tested for a long time, so there was no need to update it all the time.
His subsequent plans for the software cannot be implemented now, so now these people are basically busy with how to promote the software.
However, the number of people using the software is now approaching the five million mark, and the number of users in South Korea has basically reached its limit.
If they want to expand in Korea, they can only wait until the number of smartphone users increases.
Therefore, what Huang Xu needed to deal with in the company were actually just some small matters.
Just when Huang Xu was handling various chores in the company, not far from him was an office building he had just visited yesterday.
Kim Kwang-soo of CCM is now in his office, listening to the report from his secretary.
"President, we have already checked Kim Tae-woo's identity. He is just an ordinary old man in the entertainment industry. From the information, it seems that there is nothing special about him."
After the secretary finished speaking, he handed the information he had just compiled to Kim Kwang-soo.
Kim Kwang-soo took the information and began to look through the information he had just compiled, and saw that it said:
"Kim Tae-woo, 46 years old, currently living in Seocho-gu."
This report contains detailed information about Kim Tae-woo, including his home address and family members, as well as detailed records of the companies he has worked for over the years.
After Kim Kwang-soo checked the information, he threw it aside.
Although this information is very detailed, it is also very ordinary. It can be said to be a very ordinary information of a middle-aged office worker.
Although he worked in the entertainment industry, the highest position he had ever achieved was actually just the head of a department in a small economic company.
Moreover, he doesn't seem to have made any well-known achievements over the years.
If we have to talk about his advantages, it is that he has been in the entertainment industry for a long time and has experienced more things.
Apart from that, he couldn't find any other advantages.
But precisely because of this, he felt even more puzzled. Since there was nothing strange about him, then what was the identity of Kim Tae-woo who came to his company yesterday?
What kind of confidence allows him to express the idea of investing in his own company or even acquiring his own company?
Is it because of that American?
Thinking of this, he looked up at his secretary again.
"Has the American been investigated and found out anything?"
"Not yet. Because he is a foreigner, his identity is still unclear."
"Then continue investigating and make sure to confirm his identity as soon as possible."
At this time, Kim Kwang-soo was obviously very concerned about James' identity. He was even a little angry because his secretary failed to find out James' identity.
When the secretary saw Kim Kwang-soo's anxiety, he no longer hesitated. After replying, he walked out of Kim Kwang-soo's office.
After the secretary left, Kim Kwang-soo, who was full of vigor just now, looked at the empty office, his face fell and he looked very depressed.
In order to ease his emotions, he even half-lay on the seat and lit a cigarette, hoping to use the power of nicotine to relieve his tense nerves.
He has been in a state of fear ever since Kim Tae-woo brought James to him yesterday.
Even last night, he didn't sleep well all night, waiting for the results of James and Kim Tae-woo's investigation.
As a veteran who has been in Korea for so many years, he has good connections with people in both the black and white worlds.
And compared to young people today, people of his age have a clearer understanding of Americans and their power.
In addition, his many years of experience in the entertainment industry have given him a deeper understanding of the unspoken rules and cruelty of society.
This is also the reason why he did nothing after seeing the popular girl group under his company's name, his company's cash cow, being wrongly accused.
Because he clearly knows who is the real master in this country, and he also knows what can be done and what cannot be done.
After some effort, he found that there was no way to clear himself of the blame for Tara and the others, so he gave up struggling and waited patiently.
Wait for time to pass, and for everyone to forget about this matter, then think of other solutions.
It is precisely because of this that he is so sensitive and wary of James's American identity.
Because in South Korea, although the chaebols and the government are not easy to mess with, the Americans are someone who should not be messed with even more.
He couldn't figure out James's background or his thoughts, which was why he was so troubled and felt that things were so difficult.
It's a pity that he has only found out Kim Tae-woo's identity information and knows nothing about James's background.
In the end, he could only look at the ceiling, exhaled a puff of smoke, and said with a sigh:
"Why exactly?"
