China Entertainment 1997.

Chapter 387 Cao Daguan, who almost "liked being a father"
The next day, the sun was clear and thin, the sun was hitting his face, and the person in his arms had already left.

Cao Xuan looked at the red marks on his body, and was a little worried, this girl is too crazy, especially if she is seen by the East and West Palaces when she returns home, she must not be fried.

Conscience of heaven and earth, he really didn't want to reconnect with the Samsung Princess when he came to Korea this time.

The main reason is that the attitude of the other party has changed a little. He is afraid of accidents, so he doesn't want to provoke him again, but he forgot that Shilla Hotel is owned by Samsung. When he comes to Korea, Samsung will arrange a place for him.

To a certain extent, Cao Xuan can be regarded as throwing himself into the trap...

The rest is simple, as the person in charge of Shilla Hotel, Li Fuzhen has 100 ways to get into Cao Xuan's room.

Of course, she is a woman, if Cao Xuan is determined not to obey, she will not be able to force Cao Xuan, but she can't stand the eldest princess and prepared a killer move.

He took off his jacket, revealing the tailor-made ecstasy version of the South Korean team jersey, and asked Cao Xuan what he thought of the South Korean team reaching the semi-finals.

Just ask, which conscientious fan can bear such a provocation?
Cao Xuan was furious. On behalf of the fans all over the world, he upheld justice and severely punished the "Korean team".

Thinking of Concubine Zhen's slightly limping figure when she left in the morning, Officer Cao was full of ambition, seeing that it was still early, he immediately went to the bathroom to take a bath.

After taking a shower and just changing clothes, the doorbell rang and the waiter came to deliver the food.

Noodles in clear soup, steamed buns, and two refreshing side dishes to take away.

Cao Xuan scratched his head, it seems that last year's Korean Qitianle, his own taste was discovered by the real concubine, and it is difficult for others to remember it all the time.

After breakfast, it's time to get down to business. Cao Xuan went downstairs to join Fanxing, who had been negotiating in Korea, and part of Warner's team, and headed to the Samsung headquarters.

Today, Samsung Group held a signing conference for him, and Cao Xuan himself officially became the global spokesperson for Samsung's mobile phones and digital products.

The endorsement period is five years, and the endorsement fee announced by Samsung is 1100 million US dollars per year.

This statistic is not completely exaggerated, but as I said before, in order to get so much money, Cao Xuan has to complete some relatively demanding statistic.

So the 5500 million US dollars, to a certain extent, has the meaning of publicity, and Cao Xuan may not get so much in reality.

And this endorsement fee is not a one-time payment, of which 3000 million US dollars is regarded as a guarantee, which will be paid in installments within one year.

The rest of the money will be paid successively according to Cao Xuan's performance and various contract terms.

In fact, in terms of endorsement fees, Cao Xuan naturally tends to keep a low profile, but sometimes the brand side hopes to expand the brand's publicity through huge endorsement fees.

Samsung paid a sky-high price to sign a contract with an emerging international superstar, in order to cause a sensation, start the reputation of Samsung's mobile phones and digital products, form a brand effect, and strengthen the brand value.

People are spending money for fame, and it's really unreasonable for you to let them hide it.

Cao Xuan has so many endorsements, except for state-owned enterprises like China Mobile, which are inconvenient to disclose, and Pepsi, which covers gambling contracts and has other superstars, he doesn't want to expose the details of the contract, so as not to cause comparisons.

Most of the other brands are required to disclose the publicity fees, and there are even some exaggerations.

Even if you spend money, you have to listen to it!

So although Cao Xuan is not very willing to reveal his wealth, he will not insist too much at this time.

If you take other people's money, you have to do things for them. There is no reason in the world that you take over all the good things. If it is exposed, it will be exposed. At worst, donate a few more schools.

.........

In the Samsung headquarters, Cao Xuan was mainly busy taking pictures in the morning, and shot a short video, which is the material for the follow-up company to promote the contract.

After eating at noon, Cao Xuan finally saw his cheap father-in-law Li Jianxi, and his cheap brother-in-law, the prince of Samsung, was also there.

Li Jianxi is in his early 60s this year. He is slightly short and chubby, not impressive in appearance, but he looks in good mental and physical condition.

The crown prince of Samsung is [-] years old. He wears glasses and has a gentle temperament. He looks a bit like Taiwanese actor Zhao Wenxuan. He is currently the executive assistant of Samsung Electronics, mainly studying business management.

It seems that her position is inconspicuous, but she is married to the eldest lady of the Elephant Group, and works beside her father at the headquarters, so she is obviously being trained as a successor.

In contrast, the eldest princess married a bodyguard and worked hard to fight for the freedom of marriage. The old man gave it to a hotel to run. If the eldest princess had not been able to revitalize the Shilla Hotel, she would have stopped working long ago.

However, although the eldest princess has shown her abilities, she still works at the Shilla Hotel. She seems to be favored by her father, but she has no access to Samsung's decision-making power.

It wasn't until the old man's late stage that he became more and more greedy for the filial piety of his children. The eldest princess relied on her ability to make the old man happy, and the prince was not up to date, so she slowly overtook in a corner and gradually touched some of Samsung's core businesses.

"Mr. Cao, congratulations on winning the Billboard Championship, you have done a good job for us Asians."

"President Li is overrated."

Cao Xuan sneaked a few glances at the old man's eyes, probably because he didn't know the little secret between himself and his daughter, otherwise he wouldn't be so calm.

The signing ceremony started at 2:[-] p.m. Cao Xuan familiarized himself with the process, then chatted with the Li family and his son and several Samsung executives.

The large contract of 5500 million U.S. dollars is considered a very powerful project even for Samsung. The negotiation between the two parties lasted for nearly a year.

Or to put it more bluntly, there was a long period of stagnation here, until the release of Cao Xuan's new album "Release", which once again proved Cao Xuan's talent and ability.

Samsung was completely assured that Cao Xuan was not a flash in the pan, and the progress of the negotiation was naturally fast, and even the Li family and his son personally appeared at the signing ceremony.

Cao Xuan didn't know the attitude of those Korean artists in front of these Samsung executives, especially Li Jianxi, the richest man in Korea, anyway, he was quite relaxed.

Leaving aside the relationship of "cheap relatives", Cao Xuan's personal assets are US$10 billion, while Li Jianxi's apparent assets are only US$30 billion.

Last year, he ranked No. 16 on the Forbes Asia Rich List, and even fell out of the top [-] this year.

Of course, as an old man in Samsung's family, he should have some other assets, but if Cao Xuan's net worth is added to the valuation, it can also be multiplied several times.

But although he is not as good as the old man, he is not as servile as those Korean entertainers. He respects a little more than other rich people because of the face of the eldest princess.

Li Jianxi didn't put on airs of the richest man in Korea in front of Cao Xuan. Although the crown prince was a bit arrogant, he was quite measured.

The two of you are not fools, even if you don't know Cao Xuan's net worth, but as an international superstar, Cao Xuan can't treat him like a small Korean entertainer.

If they really had that kind of thinking, Samsung would not spend huge sums of money to sign Cao Xuan.

Even Li Jianxi himself admired Cao Xuan quite a bit, saying that Cao Xuan was one of the most outstanding young people he had met in recent years. Business tycoons like them, who inherited their father's business, would more or less treat self-made people with There is a certain respect.

If Cao Xuan was a Korean, and Li Jianxi had an unmarried daughter, he might not agree to their relationship...

However, Cao Xuan obviously did not have the idea of ​​opening a branch of Korean entertainment. Compared with whether the old man appreciates him, Cao Xuan is more concerned about whether Samsung really has a military factory.

If the relationship between him and the eldest princess is exposed, it will be troublesome if the old man really sends him a bomb.

After chatting for a long time, it was time for the press conference. Cao Xuan and Li Jianxi attended the signing ceremony. The audience was densely packed with journalists from China, Japan, South Korea and even other Asian countries.

The process of the press conference was very simple. The two parties signed a contract and took a group photo. Cao Xuan, the new spokesperson, released his thoughts. Li Jianxi and another Samsung executive expressed their welcome to Cao Xuan's signing.

Anyway, in a word, it is business mutual bragging.

Cao Xuan brags about Samsung, Samsung brags about Cao Xuan, and the two sides brag about this cooperation together, and it's time for the reporter to ask questions.

"May I ask, is the accurate figure of this endorsement contract really the 5000 million US dollars rumored by the outside world?"

The Samsung spokesperson cleared his throat and said in a straight voice: "To be more precise, it is 5500 million US dollars, which is the largest endorsement expenditure in Samsung's history, but I believe that Mr. Cao Xuan can give Samsung a richer return. "

"Xiba!"

"Siguoyi!"

"Fuck!"

"..."

When the sky-high price of 5500 million U.S. dollars was made public, the scene immediately heated up by several degrees Celsius, and the cold air was sucked into the stomach of the reporter.

Journalists from Japan and other countries mainly eat melons, while Chinese reporters are surprised and excited, while Korean reporters are shocked and annoyed.

So much money to a foreigner?

On the spot, some South Korean reporters couldn't help asking questions. They didn't dare to question Samsung, so they could only point their fingers at Cao Xuan.

"US$5500 is the best endorsement fee in South Korea and perhaps in Asia. Does Mr. Cao feel that this price is too high for you? Why do you take this US$5500 million?"

Cao Xuan's external image has always been modest and low-key, but he has never been weak. He has always resolutely fought back provocative questions like this, otherwise he would be regarded as honest and deceitful.

He looked at the reporter seriously, with a rare look in his eyes, and his voice was sonorous and powerful.

"My albums have been sold to Europe, Asia, Australia, North and South America, and even Africa, all over the world.

With my songs, I have reached the top of the music charts in more than [-] countries including China, the United States, Japan, the United Kingdom, and Sweden, and have a wide range of influence around the world.

Given that I have won two Grammys, the total sales of genuine albums in the world is close to 5000 million. If pirated copies are included, it may be easy to exceed [-] million.

Since I am one of the hottest singers on the planet, there are billions of people around the world, and there are at least 20 billion+ people who have heard my name or my songs.

With my tens of millions of loyal fans all over the world, in Korea alone, there are more than 30 registered fans on my official fan club website.

With my name, Cao Xuan, I can create millions, tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions of dollars in profits for companies and brands.

Pepsi pays me over $1000 million a year for endorsements.

In the subsequent endorsement contract that BMW signed with me, the price terms with Samsung were only high but not low.

There are also a large group of big-name companies interested in cooperating with me, including your Korean groups, and even the president of your country will meet me at the Blue House tomorrow night..."

Looking at the silent scene, Cao Xuan leaned back slightly, his eyes were no longer aggressive, but changed into the friendly smile before, and looked at the South Korean reporter.

"Mr. Reporter, do you now know why I can get so much endorsement fees?"

"..."

The South Korean reporter blushed, but did not dare to say a word, and the other South Korean reporters did not dare to say anything.

They are only now realizing that the man in front of them is not the Korean star they interview on a daily basis.

Not only is the influence incomparable, but people don't care whether they offend the Korean media or not. Forcing the line will only bring humiliation.

Not to mention that it is Samsung's press conference right now. If you dare to disturb Samsung's venue in South Korea, you are not afraid of being put into a sack and jumping into the Han River to "suicide" the next day.

With this clear example, the following interview will be much more friendly, mainly aimed at the cooperation between Samsung and Cao Xuan.

Especially in the field of mobile phones, next year is 2004, Samsung will launch two new mobile phones - Samsung X619 and Samsung X699.

Especially the Samsung X699, not only the relatively novel design of the screw cover, but also the resolution and pixels are unique in the current mobile phone market.

Both mobile phones are personally endorsed by Cao Xuan, and there will be commercials to be promoted globally. In addition, some digital products will also be posted with photos of Cao Xuan, and commercials for heavy products will also be launched.

It didn't end until after three o'clock. The reporters were naturally entertained by people from Samsung, while Li Jianxi and his son entertained Cao Xuan in person.

Before Cao Xuan pissed off the reporters, it made them very happy to watch, and the prince who was a little arrogant before couldn't help showing a smile to Cao Xuan.

Although the Korean conglomerate is very good in South Korea, it has a bad reputation in the eyes of the public, so in order to maintain its image, it is rare to have such a public attack.

Samsung is not the only company in South Korea, and there are still media that don't buy it, so it will suffer a little bit occasionally.

But I can only be bored in my heart, looking for opportunities to retaliate behind my back, how can I be as happy as this Cao Xuan who sprays back directly in front of me.

Especially the crown prince of Samsung, who has not taken power yet, has to care about his image even more, so he can only maintain a refined image all the time, and he is somewhat depressed in his heart.

Seeing Cao Xuan's high-spirited and domineering performance just now, I couldn't help feeling secretly refreshed.

The Li family father and son had always valued Cao Xuan, but now after a brief exchange, they have a very good impression.

Normally, this kind of occasion was a business dinner. The Li family and his son probably wanted to show their importance, and each of them brought their wives to attend. They held a semi-family banquet, and the venue was naturally the Shilla Hotel under Samsung.

When Cao Xuan watched the nimble three-star eldest princess run to her parents and talk closely, she couldn't help but marvel at her amazing resilience.

Because of Cao Xuan's previous incident with reporters, the crown prince of Samsung has a stronger affection for him, and he took the initiative to pull Cao Xuan to introduce some of his family members.

"This is my wife, Lin Shiling."

"It's a great honor to meet Mr. Cao, I'm your fan."

"Thank you for your support, Mr. and Mrs. Xian are really talented and beautiful."

Cao Xuan's words were not out of politeness, this princess is indeed quite beautiful and has a very good personality.

Later, she divorced the prince, went home to be the female president, and fell in love with the Korean actor Lee Jung-jae, who is also the male lead of "Squid Game".

In the online article on the female channel, it is the heroine who is an out-and-out "abandoned woman" from a wealthy family.

Speaking of which, the eldest princess and the crown prince are well-known on the Internet in China, and they also have a lot of fans. On the contrary, the crown prince of Samsung, although not too stinky, is also a well-known scumbag + scumbag.

"This is my second sister Li Xuxian, the person in charge of Samsung Cheil Wool."

"Mr. Cao, I have admired your name for a long time."

"Ashamed, hello Miss Li."

This three-star second princess is not well-known, not as glamorous and glamorous as the eldest princess, who bravely pursues true love, and does not commit suicide because of love, which is a pity.

As a commercial marriage early on, she married the son of a media group. She is far less eye-catching than the two sisters in terms of relationship, so naturally she will not attract too much attention from the outside world.

But in fact, the second princess is not a good person.

As the person in charge of Samsung's clothing business, he is capable, and was later appointed as the vice president of Samsung by Li Jianxi.

Although many people speculated that the second princess was on the throne, it was because the eldest princess and the prince had fierce competition at that time, so the old man specially helped the second princess to the top.

On the one hand, it is to balance the situation, on the other hand, it is to spread smoke bombs, and on the other hand, it is to beat the children. I am not dead yet, and it is not only you two heirs, be honest.

But no matter what, she was able to firmly hold the position of vice president of Samsung before and after the old man's death, and once became a popular heir. Even if this second princess is a puppet, she should not be underestimated.

As wives together, I don't know if it's because her husband is not around. The second princess's attitude towards Cao Xuan is obviously more enthusiastic than that of the crown princess.

Again, the allure of a handsome guy who is an international superstar to women is by no means inferior to the popularity of a world-famous beauty among men.

Even if it doesn't mean anything else, it's still fun to strike up a few words.

However, Cao Xuan is still very cautious, remembering to keep a distance at all times. After all, sleeping with one daughter is already an offense. If two daughters are sleeping, it is really rushing to fight Li Jianxi forever.

Perhaps it was a tacit understanding, when Cao Xuan was chatting with the second princess, the eldest princess came over, and the crown prince was about to introduce her, but Li Fuzhen stopped her.

"Brother, no need, Mr. Cao has lived in my shop twice, we often deal with each other."

"I'm quite familiar with him. President Li and I have a very good personal relationship."

The crown prince didn't take it seriously. After all, as the person in charge of the Shilla Hotel, the eldest princess often came out to entertain some political and business celebrities, so it was normal for her to be acquainted with Cao Xuan.

The second princess didn't take it seriously, but the princess next to her was watching quietly. She always felt that the eyes and movements of the two people collided a little differently, with an indescribable familiarity and tacit understanding.

After chatting with a few people, they dispersed again. Cao Xuan made friends with several Samsung executives and related media people, and found a corner to rest.

Not long after, the eldest princess came over with a wine glass, her smile was still polite and friendly, but her words were powerful enough.

"Why does my sister-in-law keep looking at you? You didn't hook up with her, did you?"

"Your sister-in-law? Lin Shiling?"

Cao Xuan was a little confused, and then very angry: "What do you think of me, besides, your brother and sister are still here."

"Maybe it's more exciting to you that way."

The eldest princess spoke sharply: "My husband is not far away, so I won't delay you. I still have a backache."

Cao Xuan: "..."

So married wives can't be touched, morality is flawed, others can catch one...

Fortunately, the eldest princess didn't talk too much about this topic. I mentioned it just now, maybe I wanted to warn Cao Xuan that sleeping with a daughter and sleeping with a daughter-in-law are completely different concepts, so don't play it dead.

Soon, she changed the topic to other places: "My dad seems to like you very much, and he praised you to my mom just now, which is rare for him."

"It's not surprising that many people can't hide their appreciation for my excellence."

In front of his own woman, Cao Xuan was relaxed and couldn't help but talk a few words, but the eldest princess agreed very much with what he said.

"You are indeed outstanding, tall and handsome, smart and talented, and have good physical fitness. You are a rare perfect high-quality man."

"You boast that I don't object, but there's something wrong with hearing this."

Cao Xuan always felt that what she said was tricky, but the eldest princess ignored him and asked herself.

"I'll go to your room at night. I'll prepare what you like."

"...the stewardess and OL last time."

"no problem."

The eldest princess readily agreed, and before leaving, she leaned into his ear and whispered: "I watched your Victoria's Secret performance video, and I have prepared a surprise for you."

Seeing the figure of the other party leaving, Cao Xuan couldn't help but take a sip of water to suppress his shock.

If the East and West Palaces are as playful as she is, he really has to find a way to get two live tigers abroad...

.........

The banquet ended successfully in the early morning, and Li Jianxi and his wife went home early.

Cao Xuan also said goodbye to the prince before returning to his room, otherwise he always felt a little awkward.

Not long after he returned to his room, the eldest princess sneaked over, and it was another fierce battle that lasted several hours.

The two sides called for gold and retreated. Cao Xuan hugged the eldest princess and watched TV, and "Dae Jang Geum" was being broadcast on it.

Although the heroine Lee Young-ae is not absolutely beautiful, she is a well-known frozen age beauty in Korea, and she is still glamorous at the age of 50 in later generations.

Looking at it, the eldest princess lying in Cao Xuan's arms suddenly said: "I am going to separate from him."

"Ok?"

A burst of electric current flashed through Cao Xuan's scalp, and the psychological warning red light kept on.

The word separation is generally only used by couples, and the "he" in the eldest princess' words is naturally the bodyguard husband.

It is true that the two of Yuan Shikong divorced after being separated for many years, but it is definitely not now. What makes Cao Xuan more vigilant is that at this time, the other party told him what it means to separate from his husband, and he would not make himself responsible.

Cao Xuan's mind was spinning very fast, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.

Advise the two to live a good life?

He is more convincing now if he is not naked.

Guaranteed to be responsible for her?
What to do with the East and West Palaces, and to put it bluntly, Cao Xuan has more or less a heart-to-heart knot about the eldest princess marrying someone else.

Just perfunctory, and then run away with a bucket?
Cao Xuan was a little tempted, but it was really wicked to ignore people when he lifted his trousers. Although he didn't like the eldest princess very much, it was not that he didn't have no feelings at all.

Various thoughts flashed through his mind, Cao Xuan didn't speak for a long time, but the eldest princess calmly bit him.

"Don't worry, I won't pester you, I just want to tell you, it will still be like this in the future, friendship."

Cao Xuan breathed a sigh of relief, but he definitely couldn't show it on his face: "Where are you thinking, I'm surprised how you think of separation."

"Actually, we separated a long time ago. Before the two of us knew each other, there was almost nothing left of our relationship on the surface. Occasionally, we would show up in public, visit our parents' house, and we had almost no contact in private.

Not long ago, someone told me that he had found a little girl. I thought it would be better to use this to formally separate and save trouble. "

"Will your parents agree?"

"My parents don't like him. It's too late to be happy after we're separated. However, this is not something glorious after all. To convince him, we need a trump card."

"What trump card?"

"A grandson named Li."

Cao Xuan let go of the eldest princess suddenly, recalling all the signs before, his face was uncertain.

"You don't want me to help you?"

"You do not want it?"

"Of course not."

Cao Xuan's expression was serious. Such a child's background was vague. If he was born in a wealthy Samsung family, he would be born inferior. Cao Xuan would never tolerate his bloodline falling to this point.

What's more, he was also a little afraid of the eldest princess causing trouble. She said she didn't want to pester her, but he couldn't bear it when she was really pregnant and brought her son to the throne.

"It's fine if you don't want to. I'll look back and find a way. Now the test-tube baby technology is quite developed. If it doesn't work, you can live apart if you're pregnant."

Aware of Cao Xuan's strong resistance, the Eldest Princess didn't force her, she responded casually, and then changed the subject.

But Cao Xuan did not relax his vigilance. He thought about the safety measures for the past two days and found that there was nothing wrong.

It's too scary, if he hadn't always been cautious, he might have been recruited as "happy father"...
