Chapter 127 I Want to Form a Girl Group
Zheng Xiuheng was not angry, nor did he look back, but said calmly: "I am serious too. If we can't even make 10 billion in three years, such a company will have no meaning to me!"
Money is just a metric. Zheng Xiuheng just used it to describe the company's status. You should know that SM's annual revenue now hovers between tens of billions and hundreds of billions.
Zheng Xiuheng never thought about reaching that level in a short time, but if he wanted to successfully enter this circle and achieve success, he couldn't just do it casually.
In addition to his sister's relationship, Zheng Xiuheng is now very clear that he must have a certain amount of power in the future. Formal industries are very important. The entertainment industry is relatively simple and possible now. But if there is really an easier way to make money in the future, Zheng Xiuheng will certainly not give up. If there is still no improvement after three to five years of development, Zheng Xiuheng will not say that he will sell the company, but maybe he will hand it over to someone else to manage. As he said, he has too many goals.
But when it comes down to it, it's all about wanting to become stronger, both in terms of economic strength and social status.
In addition to his inner obsessions, such as revenge and protecting his sister, the most important thing is his experience... no, it should be said that after learning about the power of the Lee family and other families from the side, Zheng Xiuheng was just amazed at first. After being enlightened by Li Jae-won and others, he realized that there is not only one Lee family in South Korea. In fact, these wealthy families are very far away from the lives of ordinary people, and Zheng Xiuheng is also very clear about this.
But the entertainment industry has never been a clean place. After learning the truth about Li Xiaole's death, Zheng Xiuheng developed a strong sense of crisis.
In fact, Zheng Xiuheng regretted it very much. It can be said that in the past ten years, the books he read most were all related to music and piano, followed by novels.
His actual education level is still at the middle school level, and he has only a vague understanding of business matters. In addition, he doesn't have many friends, so when it comes to career matters, he can only choose what he knows best, and that is relatively speaking.
In just three years, Zheng Xiuheng was confident that he could become a qualified businessman as long as he didn't do anything stupid. After this period of time had passed and he had settled down, Zheng Xiuheng also wanted to learn something. Although theory was just theory, if he didn't even understand the theory and couldn't even read the contract, he would be too ignorant. How could he talk about the future?
"What! So you mean you're just playing around in this company now?" Lee Hyori's voice suddenly rose, and she seemed very dissatisfied with Jung Soo-heng.
"You're thinking the wrong thing. If this was just for fun, I wouldn't have spent so much money to sign you. It just so happens that our contract is for three years. If there is no major development in the three years with you around, it would only prove my failure. I'm different from you. I must succeed!"
Zheng Xiuheng's tone was serious, but not anxious. Zheng Xiuheng was not a person who liked to go to extremes, as can be seen from the fact that he could endure for two years. Therefore, whether it was revenge or protecting his sisters, Zheng Xiuheng did not force himself to make great achievements in two or three years. Zheng Xiuheng agreed with the saying that it is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge, even though he was not a gentleman.
In fact, this sentence is meaningless to only two types of people. One is the strong person, no matter if their parents are strong or they are themselves. The second type is the person who is barefoot and not afraid of wearing shoes, and who has no burden behind him.
A reckless man without a family who fights against the devil may be called a hero, but a reckless man with a family who fights against the devil may lose his family and become a lonely hero.
"What's your reason? Why do you have to talk in such a scary way? You sound like those revenge protagonists in the movies whose families are destroyed by others!" Lee Hyo-ri asked helplessly, but she was a little worried about Zheng Xiuheng. After spending so many days together, she understood that this man had a lot of things suppressed in his heart. Moreover, from the time he met his sister, Lee Hyo-ri combined their daily life and roughly guessed the situation of Zheng Xiuheng's parents, which easily deepened the impression of Zheng Xiuheng in Lee Hyo-ri's heart.
Zheng Xiuheng shook his head and said with a smile: "You have over-understood. Even in reality, businessmen also experience investment failures, withdrawals, bankruptcy, etc. Don't these people also want to succeed? Everyone has their reasons for success. I am just an ordinary person. As for how much money I earn in three years, these are just abstract numbers. The reason I tell you this is that I just want to express my serious invitation to you to join the company!"
"Although there are some problems between us, I hope that at least at work, we are on the same page. In life, it doesn't matter how you treat me. If you want to be harsh, then be harsh. Anyway, I will just ignore it!"
Everything was going well at first and Lee Hyori was listening very carefully, but she couldn't help but get angry after hearing the end.
However, the silence that followed made Lee Hyori very unhappy. Logically speaking, since she had asked him about his goals, he should also ask himself, right?
Thinking about it carefully, since the two of them met, Zheng Xiuheng seemed to have never thought about understanding her thoughts, and rarely asked her back a question. Thinking of this, Lee Hyori suddenly felt hurt.
"Have you ever liked anyone else?"
"squeak!"
Zheng Xiuheng suddenly braked hard, causing Lee Hyo-ri to fall down, and then she was pulled back by the seat belt. She came to her senses and turned around and shouted, "What are you doing!"
"sorry!"
Zheng Xiuheng replied in a low voice, then started the car again. Fortunately, it was very late and there were very few cars on the way, otherwise something would have happened.
"Judging from your reaction, do you have someone you like?" Lee Hyori suddenly thought of something and asked with a strange expression.
Zheng Xiuheng also frowned slightly, and a woman's image appeared in his mind. He thought carefully before replying: "If we talk about love between men and women, I do think of someone in my mind, but I'm not sure if it's love. Maybe... I'm more grateful!"
"Oh? Then what does she do!"
"Princess!"
"ah?"
"What, princess? Are you kidding me!" Lee Hyori said a little annoyed. Somehow, the word "princess" really made her feel uncomfortable.
Zheng Xiuheng shook his head and explained seriously: "She is not a princess in my eyes, but a princess in the eyes of many people. However, she and I will probably no longer have any contact in our lives. Although I really want to thank her for her help and care, I may not have the chance to meet her again!"
"Tsk, you're just being mysterious!" Lee Hyori replied pretending to be unhappy, then turned her head to look at the car lights, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised.
The car slowly drove into the underground parking lot and arrived at Lee Hyori's residence.
I thought I could finally go home, but Lee Hyori suddenly turned around and said very seriously: "Can I ask you for a favor?"
Zheng Xiuheng unbuckled his seat belt and turned around, looking at Lee Hyo-ri with a sincere face. Although he was a little confused, he nodded.
In fact, Lee Hyori had figured out some things before, so she asked Zheng Xiuheng about his goal. It's just that this goal is not so easy to achieve, but it shouldn't be said to be difficult either. It's just that for Lee Hyori, this is a matter of position and face.
As the highest-paid solo female singer in the Korean music industry, even if she signs with Antenna Family, she can live off her past achievements for a year or two. Lee Hyori also has to consider her future. After hearing what Jung Soo-heng said, she doesn't just want to make money and sing anymore. Acting is challenging, but it's more about proving herself.
Most importantly, from Zheng Xiuheng's words, Lee Hyori found a new goal.
“I want to form a girl group!”
"Ah? Do you still need my help with this? With your popularity, Lee Hyori, if you hold an audition, there will be a lot of trainees coming to you!" Zheng Xiuheng replied speechlessly. Looking at the gauze on Lee Hyori's forehead, Zheng Xiuheng wondered if this "cousin" had been hit stupidly.
Lee Hyori shook her head and gave Zheng Xiuheng a rare smile, a smile without any malice.
"If it were that simple, why would I need you? I'm not talking about now. Now is not the right time. Besides, this is a goal that takes time to accomplish. I can't achieve this goal alone. And this is not for commercial purposes. I want to do something big, something that will surprise everyone!"
"Is it so complicated? But what you can't do, I can do? And how big ?" Zheng Xiuheng asked uncertainly, as if he felt that this matter was really not that easy.
"How old? Let me think... probably, after doing this, I will choose to quit the entertainment industry. Of course, I may choose to work behind the scenes!"
