Chapter 153: Laying Out in South Korea, Acquiring Golden Harvest

Early in the morning, Wei Jin woke up, feeling high-spirited. Looking at the two women beside him, he was very satisfied with Lee Soo-man's arrangements.

The things Lee Soo-man had prepared last night were simply fantastic. Wei Jin praised him as an expert and couldn't put them down; the two of them were still wearing them under the quilt.

Thinking of this, Wei Jin actually had the urge for a morning workout again, and his skilled techniques made the two women in their sleep respond involuntarily.

Zheng Jessica, who had better stamina, was the first to wake up. Sensing the man's movements, a blush appeared on her face.

The experience Wei Jin gave her last night was excellent, but she was just too tired and still had no strength now.

Facing Wei Jin, Zheng Jessica was completely unable to resist, and before long, she began to cooperate.

Beside them, Im Yoon-ah's breathing also gradually grew heavy. Knowing that this young girl was feigning sleep, Wei Jin felt the urge to tease her.

Signaling for Zheng Jessica to bury her head in her work, Wei Jin focused his efforts on Im Yoon-ah.

The suddenly intensified pleasure made it impossible for Im Yoon-ah to keep up the charade, and she turned around to hug Wei Jin:

"Oppa, let me rest for a while."

"YoonA, Jessica is already working; are you going to slack off? Can you bear to watch your teammate work hard alone and just sit by and do nothing?"

Upon hearing this, Im Yoon-ah lowered her head to take a look and saw that Zheng Jessica was indeed burying her head in her work under the quilt. She had no choice but to offer a sweet kiss and let Wei Jin's large hands run wild.

Before long, the large bed began to heave rhythmically, and the room was filled with the sound of dynamic music—inside a business van, Xiang Wenlong looked at the equity transfer agreement that had just been signed, feeling somewhat puzzled: "Boss, why are you thinking about investing in these two small game companies?"

He had received a call from Wei Jin the night before last and thought there was something important when he was asked to come to South Korea, but it was just this? "Don't look at their companies as small; the games they are developing are not simple. I believe they will be blockbusters."

In his past life, Wei Jin didn't know much about games, but he had played the two games *CrossFire* and *PUBG: Battlegrounds*, and he knew they were developed by South Korea's Smilegate and Bluehole.

Having successfully acquired 80% of the shares of Smilegate and Bluehole this time, Wei Jin was also quite happy. Furthermore, *CrossFire* had already been developed, and Shanhe Games only needed to do a good job with promotion; this was a continuous stream of cash flow.

"But, this *CrossFire* developed by Smilegate Entertainment, I think it's very simple. We could completely do it ourselves."

Since the boss intended to buy shares, Xiang Wenlong naturally had to check the level of the other party's company. He even tried playing it himself, but with his limited gaming experience, he really couldn't see anything special about it.

"Let me put it this way: many games become huge hits not because they are special, but because they happen to meet the needs of the era."

How could Wei Jin not know this principle? There were many games in his mind that Shanhe Games could fully develop, so why didn't Wei Jin do it? Why insist on investing in the original team?

Being one step ahead is being advanced; being three steps ahead is being a pioneer; being ten steps ahead is being a martyr. Wei Jin couldn't know the most suitable game for every point in time, but he knew which games would be hits. Investing in advance and being friends with time was enough.

The same applied to movies. Wei Jin tried his best to film things suitable for the current environment, rather than things he remembered would definitely be hits, because many things required the right time, the right place, and the right people to create the final result.

"Alright, I trust your vision, Boss. However, when are we going to Hong Kong? Boss Zou has already been waiting."

At this moment, it had been three days since Wei Jin arrived in South Korea, and the basic matters had been handled almost entirely.

The deal with KBS had been settled; *The Temptation of Home* was sold to them for 100,000 USD per episode, for a total of 3.5 million USD. If they wanted to remake it, they would have to pay more.

The cooperation with Lee Soo-man had also been settled. Wei Jin planned to establish a branch in South Korea to produce some works suitable for South Korea, which could also be considered earning some overseas dollars. Now that there were more and more women, Wei Jin's villa was almost not enough.

However, this was not something that could be handled in a short time, and Wei Jin planned to send someone specifically to be in charge.

Lee Soo-man was also very good at handling people. After receiving Wei Jin's promise, he rarely gave the two young girls a holiday, and they had been accompanying Wei Jin these past few days. This made Im Yoon-ah and Zheng Jessica extremely happy; one had to know that South Korean trainees basically had no human rights.

Like them, a girl group that had just debuted and was in the starting stage of popularity would basically take any activity.

For example, performing in some shopping malls or doing roadshows at schools in other regions, the price was shockingly low, and it was euphemistically called a stage for them to showcase themselves. They basically only rested for three or four hours a day, and most of the time they were catching up on sleep in the car.

Wei Jin also felt some emotion about this. In such an involutionary environment, compared to the hell mode of the South Korean entertainment industry, the domestic entertainment industry was simply heaven.

However, the artists who fought their way out of this hell mode all had very solid basic skills in singing and dancing. At the very least, Wei Jin felt the benefits of solid basic skills.

"This afternoon, I can't wait."

Having persisted for so long, Boss Zou finally couldn't hold back anymore—stepping onto the land of Hong Kong again, Wei Jin felt some emotion.

Last time he came, he was still a guest; this time, there was a very high probability that he would become the owner.

Regarding Golden Harvest, Wei Jin held great expectations. Although this company was no longer in its glory days, the perfect distribution channels it had long established in Nanyang were still there. Moreover, it had numerous movie theaters under its name, and the masterpieces in its film library were all delicious rations to support Wei Jin's entertainment empire.

Wei Jin could use Golden Harvest as a springboard to export Chinese-language films to Southeast Asia and, in coordination with Summit Entertainment, move toward the world.

One had to know that it would become increasingly difficult for domestic films to move toward the world, but if a film wore the skin of a Hong Kong film, the difficulty would be greatly reduced. The Western world was very vigilant against Mainland China, but it had a different attitude toward Hong Kong.

Moreover, co-productions enjoyed more policy benefits. Previously, it was mostly cooperation with Emperor Group, and Wei Jin had given up a lot of profits.

But with Golden Harvest, the censorship standards could also be relaxed, and there was no need to concede profits to others; it was simply perfect.

Most importantly, for the films Wei Jin planned to aim for the Oscars in a few years, if they were in the form of co-productions, he believed the difficulty of public relations would be greatly reduced.

Therefore, even if Golden Harvest was currently facing losses and there was no profit to be seen in the short term, Wei Jin had to take it. — "Mr. Zou, long time no see."

Wei Jin met the senile Boss Zou in a somewhat retro tea room. As for the acquisition matters between the two sides, there were naturally professional teams to handle them.

The reason why Boss Zou insisted on seeing Wei Jin was also to know where the way out for Golden Harvest was; after all, this was his life's work of several decades.

"Wei Sheng, long time no see. Forgive my presumption, but could you tell this old man your plan? I hope that when I am buried in the ground, Golden Harvest will have been rejuvenated."

Boss Zou's emotions were somewhat agitated. It could be seen that his feelings for Golden Harvest were very deep. If it weren't for the fact that he could no longer keep up with the times and his descendants didn't have the ability, he would absolutely not want to sell the child he had raised with his own hands.

"The advantage of Hong Kong films lies in their scale, their action style, and the convenience of distribution. Although the Hong Kong market has declined, the Mainland market is rising. With my reputation, Hong Kong films entering the Mainland will be completely different. Emperor Group has already tried this point."

Boss Zou nodded. If he hadn't seen the popularity of *Ip Man* and *New World* in the Mainland, he wouldn't have made up his mind to choose Wei Jin.

"I plan to use a few series of films to revitalize Golden Harvest. As long as Golden Harvest can gain a firm foothold in the film market, shareholders will have confidence, and it will sooner or later be able to restore its former glory. Mr. Zou, believe me!"

Wei Jin did not intend to be like Orange Sky, just for the sake of a backdoor listing; he sincerely wanted to revitalize Golden Harvest.

"Good, Wei Sheng, with your words, I am relieved. As for the shares, I will only keep 5%. I can also help you persuade the other shareholders. I only hope you fulfill your promise. Let the price be handled according to what you said."

In fact, Wei Jin had been acquiring the circulating shares of Golden Harvest, but he hadn't crossed the line. Once Boss Zou's words were out, it meant that there were no more obstacles for Wei Jin to acquire Golden Harvest. — The acquisition team of Qingtian Capital had already checked into The Peninsula Hong Kong. It had already been three days, and they had already submitted the acquisition report to the Securities and Futures Commission. The summary of the tender offer report had also been published. This matter was no longer a secret; the national media all knew that Qingtian Capital would launch an acquisition of Golden Harvest!

Ordinary people didn't know much about the suddenly emerging Qingtian Capital, but many companies in the industry knew that this was Wei Jin's investment company.

For a time, the industry was shocked! Today's first update, I implore all book friends to reward with subscriptions, follow-up reading, and collections. You must flip to the last page for follow-up reading, thank you everyone! (End of chapter)
