Chapter 314 The Road to Whitewashing
Chapter 314 The Road to Whitewashing
Nantailing, the old house of Zhao Jingsheng's family.
Brothers An Rushong and Zhao Jingsheng sat around a small table in the tea room, but there were no tea sets on the table used for drinking tea. Even Zhao Jingsheng's favorite small tea stove was placed aside. Instead, a pile of account books and receipts were scattered on the table.
These bills and account books were all sent back from the Philippines. They recorded the relevant revenue data of the Dihuo plug-in in the past two months. The reason why An Rushong came to Zhao Jingsheng's old house today was to reconcile the accounts with the two brothers. In addition, there were some things that needed to be discussed with the two brothers.
Today, as Neople has stepped up its crackdown on game cheats, the operation of game cheats has become increasingly difficult. It is reported that five large game companies, including Neople, are currently pushing South Korea to introduce new legislation aimed at classifying the production and operation of game cheats as illegal.
In addition, Neople has also begun to crack down on plug-ins in various ways, such as temporarily banning users who use plug-ins, and trying to force users to give up using plug-ins through punitive measures in the game. In addition, Neople has also hired some hackers to carry out cyber attacks on the Dihuo plug-in.
Of course, such measures cannot fundamentally eliminate the existence of plug-ins. In fact, as long as the Zhao brothers can keep up with the game operator's update speed in plug-in updates, the Dihuo plug-in will never be banned, unless the Philippines also cooperates with South Korea in cracking down on plug-ins. Otherwise.
Although the South Korean government seems to be interested in promoting the introduction of laws to restrict plug-ins, the Zhao brothers obviously have no intention of stopping. After all, the profits brought to them by the plug-in business are too lucrative. The underground company they set up in the Philippines is no longer only operating plug-ins for "Dungeon & Fighter", but also plug-ins for several other games, which are also providing them with a steady stream of income.
However, the Zhao brothers had no plans to quit, but An Rushong was really ready to quit. After all, for him, he no longer needed to make money in such a shameful way. It was not worth it.
Next to the small table, An Rusong finished reading the last account book, then entered a few numbers on the calculator at hand, looked at the final result, and confirmed that it matched the total number in the account book. He then threw the account book aside and said, "I have no problem. Just do as I said before. This is the last time we divide the accounts."
After saying this, he reached into the front of his suit, took out a folded piece of paper from the inner pocket, handed it to Zhao Jingsheng across from him, and said, "Brother Jingsheng, please transfer all the money this time to this account for me."
Zhao Jingsheng took the note, unfolded it and looked at it, then asked curiously, "Dah Sing Bank, Singapore?"
Looking up at An Rusong, he asked again, "We don't need Citibank this time?"
Nodding, An Rusong said, "I need to do a deal with someone recently, and the other party requires Dah Sing Bank."
He was referring to the transaction with Quan Zhihui, but he would not tell Zhao Jingsheng more details. The key point was that there was no need to tell him these.
Zhao Jingsheng didn't ask, he just nodded and put the note in his pocket.
"Brother Jingsheng, please give my suggestion some thought." After the other party put away the note, An Rusong began to tidy up the account books and bills on the table. As he was tidying up, he said nonchalantly, "Believe me, the best way for you and Brother Chenghao to clean up your name is that this business has a future."
Zhao Jingsheng glanced at him, then turned to look at his younger brother Zhao Chenghao, who curled his lips and said, "What's the future of being a food delivery man? If we want to clean up our name, we might as well start another entertainment company."
An Rushong opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but he swallowed the words back when they were on the tip of his tongue. He could see that not only Zhao Chenghao was not interested in his suggestion, but Zhao Jingsheng was the same. In that case, no matter how much he said, it would be useless.
Before this, An Rushong had thought of a business for the Zhao brothers, asking them to do takeout. Of course, he did not ask them to deliver takeout, but suggested that they create a website for ordering takeout, and set up a team specializing in takeout delivery services.
In today's South Korea, there is no food delivery platform like Meituan. The food ordering and delivery services are provided by each catering business itself. That is, those businesses that run restaurants need to hire two or three additional waiters to specifically deliver food to customers who place orders.
Such catering delivery services have obviously increased the operating costs of catering businesses to a great extent, because for a business, they may not receive a few food delivery orders for a day or two, but even so, those extra waiters have to be kept.
On the other hand, the income of those delivery waiters is also limited. After all, they can only get a fixed salary, and it is very difficult for them to earn more money.
An Rushong's suggestion was to let the Zhao brothers set up an online food ordering website, and then attract those businesses that provide catering services to settle in. They would take over the catering delivery business of these businesses, and they would take a commission based on the number of delivery orders - adopting the same business model as food delivery platforms such as Meituan in the previous life.
In An Rusong's opinion, the Zhao brothers still have many advantages if they want to engage in this business. After all, they have a Nanbu Dong faction. On the one hand, they are not short of manpower. Those brothers who do nothing all day long, wouldn't it be a pity if they don't make money by delivering food? On the other hand, the Zhao brothers certainly have no shortage of the first batch of cooperative merchants. After all, these several caves in the southern part of Jiangnan District belong to the Nanbu Dong faction's sphere of influence. Who dares to refuse to cooperate with those merchants who operate catering services?
As long as the two brothers can open up the situation in the few holes south of Gangnam District, they can quickly promote it to the whole of Seoul later. When the era of smartphones arrives, they can create an APP, which is equivalent to directly seizing the commanding heights of this trend. Not to mention anything else, it is no problem to operate this website for a few years and sell it to become a billionaire. The most important thing is that with the development of the brothers' catering delivery company, the sphere of influence of the entire southern cave faction can also be expanded step by step. Catering delivery is definitely a typical labor-intensive industry, and most of the practitioners are strong and young people at the bottom of society. When the company is large in scale and employs more deliverymen, the company itself is a force.
"I'll think about it again," Zhao Jingsheng hesitated for a moment and said vaguely, obviously noticing that An Rushong was hesitant to speak.
In fact, his hesitation made sense. An Rusong was optimistic about this business because he had memories of his past life and knew what the takeaway business would look like in the future. Zhao Jingsheng did not have this advantage. In his opinion, the so-called takeaway practitioners were those food delivery waiters who could not earn much money every month. What good could they do?
Hearing the perfunctory tone in the other party's words, An Rusong lost interest in continuing to persuade him. He nodded and said, "Okay, Brother Jingsheng."
After he finished speaking, he placed his hands on the small table, stood up, took a long breath, and said, "That's it for now. I have a date tonight, so I'll leave first."
Zhao Jingsheng nodded and stood up with him. Zhao Chenghao also stood up and walked him out.
Compared to yesterday, today's temperature seems to have risen by seven or eight degrees overnight. At noon, the highest temperature reached fourteen degrees. The winter cold has retreated from Seoul.
After crossing the courtyard, Luo Minzhi was guarding the door. When he saw An Rushong and the other two coming out, he threw away the half-smoked cigarette in his hand and walked quickly towards the parking lot.
"Please stay, Brother Jingsheng," An Rushong stopped near the courtyard entrance and said to Zhao Jingsheng who was following behind him.
Zhao Jingsheng nodded and said, "Shen Taian has mentioned it many times, saying that he wants to invite you to have dinner together."
"Why bother with that old guy?" Zhao Chenghao said before An Rusong could speak, "He definitely has no good intentions."
An Rusong didn't take his words to heart. After a slight hesitation, he said, "Next week, Brother Jingsheng, make an appointment with Uncle Taian for me next week. Well, just let me know when the time is set."
Zhao Jingsheng reached out and patted him on the shoulder without saying anything more.
Turning around, An Rusong continued to walk towards the courtyard gate. Just as he was about to reach the gate, Zhao Chenghao, who was following behind him, suddenly asked, "Hey, where is the celebrity you said you would introduce me to? Did you forget?"
An Rushong was stunned. He turned around and looked at the other person. Then he remembered that he seemed to have made a wish in this regard to the other person before, but it had been a long time and he had completely forgotten about it.
"Cheng Hao," Zhao Jingsheng said with a headache expression. He frowned and looked at his brother and said.
An Rusong didn't wait for the other party to finish his words. He took out a business card holder from his pocket, searched in it, pulled out a business card with a gold-stamped edge, handed it to Zhao Chenghao, and said with a smile: "Go contact the person on the business card and tell him that I introduced you."
"Oh?" Zhao Chenghao looked at the business card, his face full of confusion.
"Don't ask so many questions," An Rusong motioned him to put away the business card and said, "Just contact him. Believe me, he knows what you want better than you do."
After saying this, he turned to Zhao Jingsheng, bowed slightly to him, and walked out.
Outside the door, Luo Minzhi had already driven over. It was getting dark, and An Rushong still had to rush to meet the eldest princess of the Li family, so he was pressed for time.
