Reboot the heyday

Back to XB Entertainment.

Wang Taika's mood was a bit complicated, and he didn't know how to digest the news for a while.

As for Lee Jae-yeol's plan, it seems that he can only let nature take its course. Because my mind was very confused, I accidentally went to XB Entertainment, looking for something to distract myself. Don't worry about good or bad, just get busy.

So I met the Duck King, and it turned out that the Duck King also looked busy and kept making phone calls. When he was free, he had time to speak to Wang Taika: "What's the matter? The company has a lot of business now, just tell me what's the matter."

"Nothing, just looking for something to do." Wang Taika sat down.

"Well, don't you have a very close confidante? You go and hang out with them. I have to go to a meeting next." The Duck King looked at the time: "It's either next or now. There will be a meeting later. Oh. , Goldfish should come to the company immediately, you go find her."

Wang Taika then remembered: "She doesn't have a movie coming out, so why hasn't she been seen?"

"You are really qualified!" The Duck King said helplessly: "Didn't I introduce her to the little princess Li Yuanzhu of Samsung before, and we also need to build a good relationship. So Goldfish didn't put much thought into it, and now he is very happy playing with her. We became good best friends, and even went to Japan for a few days before coming back. Goldfish completed your task well, but you forgot about it? "

Wang Taika grinned, he had indeed forgotten.

"Come on, I'm going to the meeting first. Oh, take a look at this document." The Duck King stood up and left, followed by his secretary.

Wang Taika took it and took a look, but he didn't expect it to be the situation in Saudi Arabia.

A long time ago, almost as a joke, I talked about doing some financing in Saudi Arabia. This idea may seem fanciful, but it is actually feasible.

The current Saudi Crown Prince is called Salman Jr. He and his father actually gained the country somewhat unfairly, so they have been providing benefits to the people since they came to power. And in order to show that this location is suitable for my home, I made a lot of plans. For example, large-scale construction of wonders and investment in the cultural field.

Many people have a good impression of the wealthy people in the Middle East simply because they are rich. In fact, the current royal family in the Middle East is essentially not much different from a backward feudal empire.

After King Salman of Saudi Arabia learned that his maid had given birth to his child, he directly tricked his son into killing him because he valued blood and did not allow himself to have a mixed-race son. This is what happens in modern society, can you believe it?

As for other things, such as dismembering and killing journalists who opposed him, imprisoning all other brothers in the royal family in a hotel, turning the hotel into a concentration camp. There are countless unexpected deaths in the royal family, separation of flesh and blood, and abuse.

None of this is a secret, it’s just that no one is publicizing it. Western human rights organizations will basically not comment on things in the Middle East. Even the ones that really aroused public outrage have been deliberately buried in a few years.

Now in the country of Saudi Arabia, there are 15,000 people in the royal family, including 5,000 princes alone! You read that right, five thousand princes.

Because in Saudi Arabia, a person can marry four wives, and they can also change them through divorce, as long as they maintain four wives at the same time.

The founding king of Saudi Arabia had thirty-eight wives and left behind dozens of sons. Even if each of the dozens of sons only has four wives, and the royal family is rich, the number is unimaginable, so the number of royal family members has really doubled.

Of course, most of the princes now have been imprisoned by the current Crown Prince Salman. Then they started ransacking the homes of these imprisoned royal members and confiscated hundreds of billions of assets.

In a country like this, don’t even think about starting an idol group, it’s impossible. In fact, the core of Saudi Arabia is the gaming industry.

And this is what Wang Taika's domestic company has been doing. Unexpectedly, he made a lot of money and received a lot of investment. The rich people in the Middle East are really very satisfied. As long as the world view and the protagonist conform to their understanding and are convenient for them to substitute, then they will spend money like crazy. Many games basically only rely on one or two rich players in the Middle East, and the rest are supported. But the effect is surprisingly good.

Of course, XB Entertainment was not involved in this matter. It was all done by Wang Taika's domestic company. Now, in the name of cooperation, XB Entertainment's company artists are being sought out for endorsements.

Korean Entertainment looked lively, with a large number of people and great influence. But the actual scale of the industry is not very large, and it is not even as profitable as the gaming companies run by domestic companies in Saudi Arabia. But just making money like this is not enough to rank high in the domestic gaming industry.

This incident really refreshed Wang Taika's view on money. He didn't expect that Korean Entertainment looked so splendid but was actually so empty. I didn’t expect that being a game company could actually make so much money.

At the beginning, Wang Taika tried every possible means of corruption in South Korea and gave money to domestic companies for blood transfusions. As domestic companies have risen little by little relying on Tianchao's huge market, the market value of domestic companies has already surpassed XB Entertainment and all Wang Taika's industries in South Korea.

Of course, Wang Taika's current career achievements have nothing to do with him. In China, a team of professional managers runs the company, and in South Korea there is also a duck king.

Wang Taika has no talent for business or management, but will only cause chaos. So delegating power is his only way.

Looking at the booming company, Wang Taika really felt a sense of frustration. Although they are all making money for themselves, no matter how they think about it, they feel that they are somewhat incompetent.

After leaving the documents behind, Wang Taika was not in the mood to see the goldfish. He went downstairs alone, intending to leave the company through the back door.

Get off the elevator, take the stairs, and go around the corner.

The back door of XB Entertainment is a relatively hidden glass password door, which is modeled after the back door of the old SM company building.

Because at the back door of SM Company, Wang Taika has many beautiful memories, with Chong'er, with Noona, with Baicai, etc. In short, it was a place that once made people's hearts beat. So when XB Entertainment was building it, they also built a backdoor in a similar way.

Wang Taika did not leave, but walked into the stairwell.

This back door design is like this, with a hidden corner in the stairwell.

When I was at SM, this corner was considered a secret base. Wang Taika overheard Nuna's phone call here, quarreled with Nuna here, and secretly kissed Nuna here.

I don’t know if you have noticed that the corner that XB Entertainment is imitating now is a blind spot for cameras. It is a quiet corner and an excellent viewing point where you can see the back door takeout.

But when Wang Taika came to this corner, there was nothing he wanted to do and no one he wanted to see.

I just want to be alone and calm down at this paradoxical corner.

But Wang Taika did not get such peace.

Because a sneaky figure appeared. (End of chapter)
