The Underground Emperor: Starting from Running Away with Sister-in-law

Gao Mao on the side said nothing, but just pricked up his ears quietly.

"There is something I want to know from you..."

Ding Xin leaned against the sofa, took out a cigarette and lit it. After a moment's deliberation, he asked, "How is the business situation of the Fourth Entertainment Department recently? Is there anything unusual in the venue?"

Before the establishment of the Kinmen Group.

A detailed plan was finalized during the four-party talks.

On the surface...

It is to integrate all the entertainment industries owned by the four major gangs, such as nightclubs, game rooms, massage parlors and other entertainment venues, into the Kinmen Entertainment Company for unified operation.

Actually...

The real people in charge of management are still the people from each gang...

The subsidiary acts as a debt collector.

All venues only need to hand over a fixed amount of profit on time every month.

The group doesn’t care how much profit you make.

The group's requirement for its subsidiaries is to determine the annual minimum turnover based on the number of venues.

After the subsidiary Golden Gate Entertainment was established.

Zhang Shouji was the top president and Li Zicheng was the vice president.

Under them, there are four operations director positions, corresponding to the four major gangs.

Gao Mao, the small leader of the Xinyi faction, is the deputy director of the fourth entertainment department and is responsible for the security of the venue.

Because a large part of the venues merged into the Kinmen Group by the Xinyi faction belonged to Wu Xiuyan, so while she served as the vice president of Kinmen Film and Television, she also served as the director of the Entertainment Department 4, focusing on business management.

If it weren't for Wu Xiuyan, many of Ding Xin's businesses wouldn't have been able to run...

“The overall business situation is still good...”

Although she didn't know why Ding Xin suddenly asked this, Wu Xiuyan chose to give her own analysis first: "There is nothing particularly abnormal. The overall turnover has been declining since March this year, but so far the problem is not too big and it is all within the controllable range..."

Ding Xin listened quietly, and after she finished speaking, he nodded slightly and turned his gaze to Gao Mao.

Motioned for him to speak too.

"Brother, I haven't found anything unusual here. The operation of the field has been very stable..."

Gao Mao also gave an answer similar to Wu Xiuyan's at the right time...

......

Chapter 342 Something is fishy

After listening.

Ding Xin frowned slightly and thought to himself, "Am I really overthinking it?"

He always acts decisively and doesn't like to procrastinate.

After realizing the meaning behind Li Zhongjiu's words, Ding Xin immediately decided to find out the details.

He immediately called Wu Xiuyan and Gao Mao over.

But now think about it...

He might have overreacted a little, and Li Zhongjiu might have just said it casually during a casual chat.

"Actually, it's not like there aren't really any strange things..."

Seeing Ding Xin frowning, Wu Xiuyan felt the atmosphere was a bit dull. After thinking for a moment, she spoke again: "But it's not our fourth entertainment department, but the entire Kinmen Entertainment..."

"Ok?"

Hearing her say this out of the blue, Ding Xin was slightly stunned: "What do you mean by this?"

"Ah Xin, you should know that since the beginning of this year, the overall environment has become very bad..."

Wu Xiuyan did not keep the secret, and while sorting out her thoughts, she explained: "For example, in our entertainment department 4, in order to deal with potential risks, I have already begun to tighten expenses and made adjustments to the staff and business hours...

However, the other three departments are different!

Especially the entertainment department. If I may be frank, the customer flow and revenue of the entertainment department in Seoul are far less than ours...

However...

Since the beginning of the year, all entertainment industries have obviously begun to decline, but their entertainment department has still chosen to expand crazily...

In just half a year, they opened six new venues in Seoul alone...

This is very strange!"

Is there such a thing?

Wu Xiuyan’s words made Ding Xin frown even more.

His expression gradually became serious. He pondered for a long while before he said in a deep voice, "According to what you said, the current business situation of their entertainment department should not be optimistic, right?"

"Yes, I am 80% sure. If it is a normal operation, their behavior will definitely cause huge losses..."

This time, Wu Xiuyan explained it in more detail...

"I have a group of dedicated market analysts who visit the market every day, so I have a pretty good understanding of the stores under the other three departments...

Take passenger flow for example...

In Seoul, their venues have an average customer flow of only half of ours...

Moreover, Ashin, we made adjustments to the entertainment venues we have more than a year ago.

Most of them take the mid-to-high-end route.

That is to say...

Even if the customer traffic is equal, our profits are much higher than theirs...

However, even so.

From the beginning of this year to now, affected by the overall environment, our turnover has still decreased by 20% compared with last year...

So I'm sure.

The sales of the other three departments will only drop more...

Even some of the inferior venues they manage may be at risk of losses...

So, from my personal perspective.

I really can't understand why Entertainment One still chooses to invest a large amount of money in expansion under such circumstances...

in other words..."

When she said this, Wu Xiuyan paused.

The next moment, her tone became very intriguing: "I'm very curious, where did Executive Director Zhang Shouji get the funds to carry out such a large-scale expansion..."

“Where does the funding come from?”

Ding Xin murmured, leaned back, and leaned lightly on the back of the sofa.

Slowly exhale a puff of smoke.

The five fingers of her right hand tapped unconsciously on the armrest of the sofa, one by one with a slightly inexplicable rhythm...

My brain is racing too...

First of all.

According to Ding Xin's understanding...

It was impossible for Zhang Shouji to expand the collective industry with his own money.

He is not that generous!

After ruling out this possibility.

The implication of Oh Soo-yeon's words just now became clear.

She must be hinting...

It is very likely that Zhang Shouji, the top president of Kinmen Entertainment Company, was embezzling the money.

As for how to get full...

simply put.

Don't be fooled by the fact that the power structure in Golden Gate Entertainment seems very complicated, with this department and that department...

They also belong to different gangs, each of which manages its own affairs...

The power of the top leader is not centralized, which makes it look useless...

But in fact.

When the group was first established, the position of president of Kinmen Entertainment was a popular one.

It is even not inferior to the construction of Kinmen.

At the four-party talks, there was a huge argument over this powerful position.

Each party tried hard to hold it in their hands.

the reason is simple...

At that time, the group's eight subsidiaries...

Only Kinmen Entertainment can be said to be the industry with the most stable development, the least worry, and the most abundant cash flow!

Not to mention its huge scale.

There is basically only income and no expenditure, just like a Pi Xiu.

Who wouldn’t want a subsidiary like this?

To break it down further, let’s take Zhang Shouji as an example.

On the surface, as the top president, he can only control the entertainment department which belongs to the Imperial Japanese faction.
