The top floor of Lotte World Tower in Cheongdam-dong.
An Rusong came out of the elevator, rubbing his hands as he walked to the shoe rack in the corridor. He kicked off his shoes and was about to bend down to get his slippers when the tightly closed safety door next to him was opened from the inside. Pei Meina, wearing a white floral nightgown, huddled out. She quickly walked to the shoe rack, took down the pair of slippers that An Rusong used, and placed them at his feet.
"Can't I get my shoes myself?" An Rusong looked down at her and smiled, "Go in quickly, be careful not to catch a cold."
Pei Meina stood up, smiled at him and said nothing.
An Rushong shook his head, put on his slippers as quickly as possible, then put his arm around Pei Meina's shoulders and pushed her into the door.
In the living room of the room, an exciting video was playing on the big-screen TV. A dense group of crows were attacking a group of people. An Rushong recognized it at just one glance. The movie being played was "Resident Evil 3: Extinction", which was released only three months ago.
On the sofa in the living room, Han Meiyan, wearing a bright red nightgown, was staring at the TV screen intently. She curled up her legs on the sofa, half lying and half leaning on the armrest of the sofa, watching TV nervously while unconsciously biting the thumb of her right hand.
An Rusong took off his coat and handed it to Pei Meina beside him, saying, "I'm going to take a shower first. Help me get something to eat later. I'm a little hungry."
After saying that, he put his arms around her waist again, pulled her into his arms, put his big mouth close to hers, and kissed her hard on the small mouth.
Pei Meina smiled softly, turned around and hung his coat on the hanger on the side. An Rusong walked to the sofa, bent down and kissed Han Meiyan on the forehead.
At this time, Han Meiyan was immersed in the plot of the movie and ignored him.
An Rushong didn't mind. He sat on the sofa, took off all his clothes, left his bare butt, took a cigarette and a lighter, grabbed a newspaper, and then leisurely went to the bathroom.
He filled the round jacuzzi with water and turned on the massage function. An Rushong soaked in it comfortably, lit a cigarette for himself, and read the newspaper while smoking.
If we ignore the shit going on in South Korea, there are only two pieces of news that can take the top spot in newspapers right now: one is the complete outbreak of the subprime mortgage crisis, and the other is the incredible surge in international oil prices.
Needless to say, the outbreak of the subprime mortgage crisis, ever since the U.S. stock market plummeted, everyone in the world knows that this crisis is unavoidable. It is said that the Americans are currently seeking negotiations with the Chinese, and Washington hopes to get support from China to alleviate the pressure brought about by this crisis.
As for the international oil price, the rise is really shocking. Just yesterday, the crude oil price in the international futures market broke through $100 per barrel for the first time, shocking the world.
These two realities combined have inevitably dealt a heavy blow to South Korea's domestic economy. South Korea has a small land area and a lack of natural resources. Whether it is the subprime mortgage crisis or the oil price surge, it is bad news for South Korea's economy, real bad news. It is reflected in the reality that the Korean won exchange rate has plummeted, the stock market has been sluggish, and prices have risen.
Fortunately, An Rusong is not engaged in the real economy or finance. He is in the IT industry. The company's main product is an instant messaging software. Therefore, the economic downturn has little impact on NGN.
No, it’s not that the impact is small, but there is no negative impact, but there are some positive impacts.
Affected by the subprime mortgage crisis and the surge in oil prices, a large amount of capital has fled from the real economy. Considering that countries are lowering interest rates in order to cope with the crisis and stimulate consumption, these capitals are pouring into fields such as technology and the Internet.
Recently, the stock prices of companies such as Google, Microsoft, and Apple have been rising rapidly, which is influenced by this aspect. An Rusong thought that if NGN could launch a second round of financing within a year, it would not be a problem to get a high price.
After soaking in the bathtub, smoking a cigarette and reading the newspaper, An Rushong felt the fatigue subsided. He then took a quick shower, wrapped himself in a bath blanket, and walked out of the bathroom with a thumping foot.
In the living room, Han Meiyan was still leaning on the sofa watching a movie. Next to her, Pei Meina was leisurely fiddling with a flower basket. It seemed that this woman was learning flower arrangement recently.
Walking to the small bar in the living room and pouring himself a glass of water, An Rushong walked to the sofa with the cup and sat directly between Han Meiyan and Pei Meina.
At this point, the movie was playing when the heroine entered the dilapidated house in the desert. The floor on the ground cracked, revealing an elevator leading to the underground.
An Rushong had watched this movie countless times in his previous life. He could recite the plot just by sitting there, so he had no interest in what was being played on TV.
What's more, compared to the movie, aren't the two beautiful women around him more eye-catching? Especially Pei Meina, her nightgown was very short, and now she was sitting on the sofa, with two round and straight thighs that were so shiny that people could drool just by looking at them. After drinking the water in the cup, An Rusong put the empty cup on the coffee table in front of him, and when he took his hand back, he touched Pei Meina's thigh.
"Damushan Group held a board meeting today," Han Meiyan suddenly spoke at this time, and she said, "The next step may be to consider filing for bankruptcy."
Pei Meina's skin was cool, tender and smooth, and felt very comfortable to touch. An Rusong caressed and kneaded her wantonly, while saying absentmindedly: "Why, did they invite you to the board meeting?"
Since Liu Taihe disappeared, the Damushan Group has been completely leaderless. Although the Liu family members usually fight over the inheritance, they are all at a loss when it comes to the real thing, and they don't know how to deal with it.
At this time, the best option for the Damushan Group was to quickly find a leader to stabilize the situation, give the outside world enough confidence, and then find a buyer or find a way to find money to resolve the crisis. But after Liu Taihe was gone, the Liu family could no longer find someone who could hold up the situation. Therefore, under the repeated tugs of war between the various parties, the entire group eventually came to an end.
To be honest, the Damushan Group was not hopeless at this time. After all, the group still had some high-quality assets. But that's how family businesses are. Once a powerful figure in the family dies, the entire business is bound to have problems.
"Will I go if you invite me?" Han Meiyan said with disdain, "Now, everyone knows that the Damushan Group is a complete shithole. I don't want to get involved and get dirty for no reason."
"You're right to think so," An Rusong nodded and said, "The Damushan Group is not only dirty, but also vicious. I don't know how many people are eyeing the relatively high-quality assets under the group. So, you should stay as far away from it as possible."
Han Mi-yeon didn't say anything else, and she seemed to shift her attention back to the movie.
Seeing that she stopped talking, An Rushong leaned back against the back of the sofa, then grabbed Pei Meina's arm and pulled her into his arms.
The latter glanced at him, and without struggling, just leaned over obediently, leaning against him, letting him do what he wanted.
Han Miyan noticed the movement around her. She turned her head, glanced at the two of them, and then said, "By the way, I want to start a company. What do you think?"
"What company?" An Rushong untied the bathrobe on his body and threw it aside without thinking, while still answering her.
"Do you have any good suggestions?" Han Mi Yan glanced at his waist and asked casually.
An Rusong seemed to be distracted by this question. He licked his lips, then sat up again, reached out to take a pack of cigarettes on the coffee table, lit one for himself, and said, "Well, before I answer your question, I want to know your true thoughts. Specifically, when you say you want to start a company, do you want to make some quick money, or do you want to treat it as a real career?"
"What if it's quick money?" Han Mi Yan asked curiously.
"Then you have many options," An Rusong said after taking a puff of cigarette, "After all, you have a lot of capital in your hands, whether you speculate in foreign exchange or foreign exchange, you can get good returns. Of course, you can also start an entertainment company. I am optimistic about the domestic entertainment market in the next few years. The most important thing is that if you start an entertainment company, you can get subsidies from the state."
"What if it's a career?" Han Meiyan was not satisfied with his answer and changed her question.
"If you plan to start a career, I still suggest you invest in the entertainment industry," An Rusong said with a smile, "but not the kind of entertainment industry you imagine, but the copyright operation aspect."
"Oh?" Han Miyeon showed an interested expression on her face.
"At present, I can't spare more energy, and of course, it's also because I don't have enough funds," An Rusong took an ashtray from the coffee table and put it next to him, saying, "If I have more free time and sufficient funds, I will create an Internet-based video media platform."
"What do you mean?" Han Meiyan frowned and asked.
"You can think of it as an online cinema," An Rusong explained. "Of course, this platform allows you to watch not only movies, but also TV shows, variety shows, and even sports events."
