Peninsula: Superpowered Daily Life

Chapter 42 Action

Zhou Wenzhe and Secretary Li took the elevator downstairs. As soon as they stepped out of the elevator, they saw Kim Jisoo walking towards them, along with the other three members of BlackPink.

Kim Ji-soo was taken aback when she saw Zhou Wenzhe, not expecting to see him at the company again. She quickly walked up to him and asked, "Wenzhe, what are you doing here? Did you change your mind?"

She thought Zhou Wenzhe had come to his senses, decided not to start his own business, and would instead debut with YG Entertainment.

If that's the case, that would be great, as it would give the two of them more opportunities to meet.

The other three members were filled with curiosity and gossip when they saw that Kim Jisoo actually knew this handsome stranger, and they pricked up their ears to eavesdrop on their conversation.

"No, I came here today to discuss something with your president, and we've finished talking now."

"Our president?" Kim Jisoo looked at Zhou Wenzhe in confusion. When did the trainee issue become something that would bother the president?

Is it because his qualifications are too good that the president personally poached him?

"Okay, we'll talk about it another time. I have something to do, so I'll be going now. Bye-bye."

"Okay, bye-bye."

Zhou Wenzhe smiled slightly, nodded to the other three, and then left with Secretary Li.

As soon as he left, Jennie and the other two surrounded Jisoo, asking in unison, "Unnie, who was that just now?"

"friend."

"When did you get this friend? How come we didn't know?" Jennie asked.

She and Kim Jisoo have been together since their trainee days, for seven or eight years now. Although they haven't been together every day, they've been close. Their friends all know each other, but she had never heard of this friend from her older sister.

"He just returned from abroad not long ago, and he even came to our company for an audition a while ago."

"Oh, is she an actress or an idol?" Park Chae-young asked.

"Of course he's an actor. He's a few months older than me, how could he be an idol? Oh... right, his birthday is coming up soon." Kim Jisoo suddenly remembered that if she remembered correctly, tomorrow was Zhou Wenzhe's birthday.

What a coincidence! If she hadn't run into him today, she would have completely forgotten about it.

"Wow, Jisoo unnie actually remembered his birthday?" Park Chaeyoung and Lisa teased from the side. Not many friends remember each other's birthdays; only very close friends are likely to remember.

But this woman just said that the boy only recently returned from abroad, and she still remembers his birthday even after all this time.

If you say there's nothing fishy going on, who would believe you?

The three of them laughed with ill intent, while Kim Ji-soo was too embarrassed to explain.

The reason she remembered Zhou Wenzhe's birthday was because she had celebrated his birthday once when she was a child, and at that birthday party, after singing the birthday song, she suddenly kissed him.

She was young at the time and didn't understand, but she thought it was a way of expressing blessings, since her family would kiss her on her birthday.

This incident drew teasing from both sets of parents, who even said they would...

I wonder if he still remembers this.

. . .

After leaving YG Entertainment, Zhou Wenzhe and Secretary Li returned to the three-story building they had just bought.

"Wen Zhe, when are we going to visit the other entertainment companies?"

In addition to its stake in YG Entertainment, Tianyi Capital also holds shares in several other listed entertainment companies, including 6.7% of JYP Entertainment, 4.9% of SM Entertainment, and 7.8% of CUBE Entertainment.

The reason YG Entertainment has the highest shareholding is because Zhou Wenzhe felt that if he wanted to achieve the requirement of doubling the stock price in "The Future Entertainment Tycoon", he could not let the Yang brothers continue to hold power, so he forced them to liquidate their shares and step down.

Of course, doubling the stock prices of the other entertainment companies is also quite difficult, but fortunately, the stock prices of these companies were already very low when he acquired these shares. In addition, the task requires that the total value of the shares held double, so he simply adds them all together for comparison, which makes the task a little easier.

For example, for entertainment companies that are not yet publicly listed, it wouldn't be difficult for their market value to double or even increase several times.

At worst, we can use some special methods.

With these statistical calculations, the task should be almost complete.

In addition to these listed entertainment companies, Tianyi Capital also signed a stock purchase agreement (SPA) to acquire existing shares of Big Hit Entertainment for 1040 billion won, becoming its third-largest shareholder.

In addition, small and medium-sized entertainment companies such as Starship Entertainment, RBM Entertainment, and Pledis Entertainment have also received investment from Tianyi Capital.

These companies are currently short of funds, and Tianyi Capital has a strong background and has indicated that it will not interfere with their normal operations, so the negotiations went very smoothly.

BigHit's founder, Bang Si-hyuk, approached them proactively seeking investment. It's said that he wanted to merge with other companies, go public, and enter the US market, requiring a large amount of capital and connections.

This company currently only has one boy group called BTS, which has been consistently ranked among the top three boy groups in South Korea for the past two years. If they want to improve further, they can only try their luck in the Western market.

"I can handle the rest myself. You can help me find out which film and television dramas are currently seeking investment, and then have a headhunter recruit a CEO who can manage YG Entertainment."

"Are you so sure that Yang Hyun-suk of YG Entertainment will agree to our request?"

"Heh, whether he agrees or not is not up to him." Zhou Wenzhe smiled contemptuously. He was being polite first, but if these two didn't know what was good for them, then what they would face next would not be so simple.

"Okay, I got it. By the way, should I hire a secretary for you?"

"No need. Tianyi Capital will be relying on you from now on. I have other things to do."

Zhou Wenzhe only cared about whether the task could be completed; he didn't care at all about how the company would develop.

Secretary Li has been with her mother for so many years, it's time for her to show her abilities.

"What else do you want to do?"

"It's a secret. Anyway, apart from the shares in these entertainment companies, you're in charge of everything else in the company. If you're unsure about anything, just ask me."

"Okay, what if the chairman and Chairman Quan ask about it?" Secretary Li was very excited to hear that he could make the decision, but he was also worried that his parents would object.

"Just tell the truth. If they have any questions, let them ask me."

"Um."

"Then you'd better get busy. From today onwards, you are the CEO of Tianyi Capital."

"Thank you, Wenzhe."

Secretary Li got up and left the office. She was full of energy and enthusiasm, and vowed to herself that she would never let Zhou Wenzhe down.

After closing the door, Zhou Wenzhe picked up his phone, found a number, and dialed it.

The call lasted for about two minutes before it ended.

After hanging up the phone, he smiled slightly, went downstairs to the parking lot in front of the company, and drove away.

Let's get started.
