The penniless son of the penniless ...

Chapter 10 Visiting SM Entertainment
"Now is the golden period for the booming development of American technology companies. Stock prices are rising like a rocket! If you don't believe it, you can send someone to check Microsoft, Dell, Yahoo, Cisco... in the past two years. The stock prices of these companies have been artificially pushed up!"

"Behind this are the financial giants on Wall Street and some foreign financial institutions. They are all very optimistic about the development of Internet-related technologies and the prospects of companies. This is why I choose to bet on Internet technology companies!"

……

Hearing Zhang Junfeng say this, Li Fuzhen couldn't help but think of Zhang Junfeng's previous actions. After a while, she nodded, agreeing with his words.

"In the next few days, I plan to visit Seoul, especially some entertainment and gaming companies. If possible, I would like to invest in them! How about it, dear Miss Li Fuzhen, do you want to go with me?"

Hearing what Zhang Junfeng said, Li Fuzhen said arrogantly, "...Entertainment companies and game companies?! I don't want such small companies that can't be put on the stage...unless you beg me!"

Zhang Junfeng did not answer when he heard this. Instead, his nimble hands quietly came to Li Fuzhen's waist and then gently scratched it a few times. Li Fuzhen immediately trembled and begged for mercy.

"My dear, do I need to ask you to come with me now?"

"...No...No need! Stop it! It's itchy...!" Li Fuzhen was also regretting at this moment. She hadn't escaped from the "claws" yet, so why did she continue to provoke Zhang Junfeng, the bastard? !
Now I am like meat on a chopping board, I can't resist at all! Zhang Junfeng is such a bad guy!

……

In the end, Li Fuzhen agreed to go with Zhang Junfeng to meet those entertainment and gaming companies tomorrow, and Zhang Junfeng then let go of Li Fuzhen.

Looking at Zhang Junfeng who was so proud of himself, Li Fuzhen said, "There will be a family dinner tomorrow night. My father asked me to take you with me! My eldest brother and sister will be there. If my eldest brother makes things difficult for you, you... understand what I mean, right?"

"I understand! If this brother-in-law causes trouble for me, I will definitely fight back against him. I will not be afraid!" Zhang Junfeng said confidently.

Li Fuzhen nodded when she heard what Zhang Junfeng said, but immediately found the problem in his words and retorted, "What nonsense are you talking about? Who is your brother-in-law?!"

"...Aren't we dating? You're my girlfriend now! After we get married, it's okay for me to call him that?!"

Li Fuzhen said in a somewhat embarrassed and angry defense, "...We are just pretending to date! We will also be pretending to get married in the future!"

Zhang Junfeng didn't care about Li Fuzhen's explanation. Even though this woman was still arrogant and refused to admit it, it had come to this point. If he could still let this woman get away, he would write his name upside down!

——————Dividing line——————The next morning, under the arrangement of Li Fuzhen’s assistant, Zhang Junfeng and Li Fuzhen successfully arrived at the newly established SM Entertainment company.

The company's founder Li Xiuman and several senior executives were very nervous about the arrival of Zhang Junfeng and Li Fuzhen! You have to know that they are the daughters of the top chaebol in Korea, the Five Star Group. How could they, SM Entertainment, have ever seen such a big shot visit them? !
In the meeting room, Li Xiuman looked at the noble and cold Li Fuzhen with a somewhat nervous expression, and asked in a rather respectful tone, "I wonder if Miss Li came here to tell you something?"

Li Fuzhen pointed at Zhang Junfeng beside her and said, "President Li, the one who wants to talk to you is not me, but him!"

"Hello, President Li! I'm Zhang Junfeng, and I'm an investor! I'm very interested in young companies like SM Entertainment!"

Hearing what Zhang Junfeng said, a trace of barely perceptible solemnity flashed across Li Xiuman's face. He never expected that the company he had just founded would be coveted by someone!

Moreover, the other party was able to persuade Li Fuzhen, the daughter of a wealthy family, to help so easily, which clearly meant that she was from a very important background! If she refused rashly, she would not be able to do it!
"...Mr. Zhang, you should have seen the situation of our company. It is not large in scale and there are no celebrities debuting under the company. Are you sure you want to invest?" Li Xiuman asked with a smile.

"It doesn't matter if the company is small or has no debut stars. What matters is the people who manage the company! If I remember correctly, President Li debuted as a singer, right?"

"In my opinion, with experience like that of President Li, he naturally understands how an entertainment company can discover young people with potential, how to train them to become talents, and ultimately successfully debut as big stars!"

……

Hearing what Zhang Junfeng said, Li Xiuman finally relaxed a little. He was afraid that it was a member of a chaebol family who might buy an entertainment company for fun on a whim, or even set his sights on the young and beautiful female artists in the company. That would be quite troublesome!
After all, in Goryeo, the chaebols are well-known for their power and means. Once provoked, artists and celebrities, who have low status to begin with, simply don't have much ability to resist!
……

In the next ten minutes, Zhang Junfeng offered 40 US dollars to acquire 20% of SM Entertainment's shares. After considering for a moment, Li Xiuman agreed very readily. In less than an hour, SM Entertainment had a new shareholder!
At the entrance of SM Entertainment, looking at the Mercedes-Benz that was gradually going away, a confidant beside him said indignantly, "President, this Zhang Junfeng obviously came with bad intentions. He took away so many shares with only 40 US dollars. It's obvious that he wants to take advantage of us!"

Li Xiuman glanced at him and asked calmly, "...Have you ever thought about what will happen if I don't agree?! Do you think our company can handle the 'revenge' of the Five Star Group?!"

"And now Zhang Junfeng has become a shareholder of our SM Entertainment. Seeing how close he is to the daughter of the Five Star Group, we can be considered to have received the protection of the Five Star Group. This will save us a lot of trouble in the future!"

After hearing what Li Xiuman said, the subordinates nodded thoughtfully. It seems that their president is indeed "far-sighted"!

……

In addition to SM Entertainment, Zhang Junfeng and Li Fuzhen went to JYP Entertainment (Taehong) and used the same method to acquire 40% of JYP Entertainment (Taehong)'s shares for US$20!
(Note: JYP Entertainment’s predecessor was Taehong Entertainment, which changed its name to JYP Entertainment after a change of ownership in 1997.)
