The Son of Finance of the Great Age

  Chapter 285 Bar Conflict

  As the leader of the team that visited South Korea this time, Zhong Shi’s job is not to conduct a field trip in person, but to come here purely for fun. As for the substantive work, it is naturally handed over to those busy researchers.

  On the second day after they arrived in South Korea, these researchers were picked up by South Korean brokerages in batches. They have already contacted the other party this time, and conducted research in the name of wanting to investigate the Korean stock market. This kind of overseas investment is the most popular among Korean brokerages, because it is one of the ways to quickly expand their influence.

   After everyone had left, Zhong Shi got up lazily. After washing up, he and Zhong Yi had breakfast together. Accompanied by Park Do-woo, he visited Lotte World, which is very famous in Korea.

Lotte World is a super entertainment city that integrates entertainment and culture. There are "Lotte World Adventure" with the theme of adventure and mystery, and the magic island "Dream Island" on the lake. There are various amusement equipment, folk museums, and large hotels. , cinemas, indoor swimming pools, indoor skating rinks, bowling alleys, membership-based sports clubs, department stores, supermarkets, shopping centers, etc.

  This kind of integrated entertainment city is very similar to Disneyland, but compared with Disney, its surrounding facilities are more fully developed. Relying on the successful development of Lotte World, Lotte Group has become one of the largest conglomerates in South Korea in just a dozen years.

   At the Adventure Kingdom, Magic Island and other scenic spots, there is a lot of people. Zhong Shi just glanced at some facilities and lost interest in playing. On the contrary, I like it, I had a lot of fun like a child, watching Zhong Shi laugh, and unconsciously, I felt a lot happier.

  …

  The day passed quickly, and in the evening, Zhong Yi was sweating profusely and squeezed out from the crowd at the Lotte Carnival, with a look of unsatisfactory expression on his face.

"Okay, let's go back, take a shower first, and then find a place to eat authentic Korean food." Zhong Shi looked at Zhong Yi who was still wiping the sweat from his forehead, and didn't know what to say .

Zhong Yi nodded, and after calming down for a while, he said: "The design here is really good, and according to my visual inspection, people with non-Asian faces account for about 10% of the entire crowd, which is not a small number. It shows that this place can also attract the attention of foreigners. If you want to short this company, I am afraid it is not a good choice!"

  The smile on Zhong Shi's face suddenly froze, and then the corners of his mouth twitched uncontrollably, looking helpless. After a long time, he said with a wry smile, "Boss, I have convinced you. I can think of everything in the capital market. Haven't you thought that this is just a pure play?"

"I never thought about it!" Zhong Yi stared at Zhong Shi for a long time, shook his head slowly, and said, "You are leading a delegation to Korea with such a big fanfare this time, isn't it because you plan to find out the details of Korean companies? The Lotte Group It should be a relatively large consortium, I don't believe that you are purely playing, and have no other purpose."

After a pause, he went on to say: "However, such a company is not easy to start with. First of all, it has abundant cash flow, and there is no possibility of capital outflow. This is the most troublesome. Secondly, the surrounding shops and real estate have great potential for appreciation. It is for sale now, and there are also large buyers, I am afraid..."

"Okay!" Zhong Shi was completely speechless, and quickly stopped Zhong Yi before he fainted, "I am really just playing this time, and this Lotte World is a Japanese company listed in New York. If anyone wants If you want to be empty, I am afraid that you have already taken action."

"Ah?" Zhong Yi couldn't help exclaiming, feeling a little hot on his face, he quickly pulled Zhong Shi and walked outside, and said as he walked, "Hey, it's really embarrassing. How can such a common sense I haven't figured out the problem yet... Hey, no, if it's not shorting Korean companies, then your large-scale investigation this time is..." At this point, he had a thoughtful expression on his face, and couldn't help but look at it. Looking at Zhong Shi, he tilted his head and thought for a while, and finally a thought popped into his brain, "Short Korean won?"

"I don't know yet, we have to wait until the results of their micro-analysis come out!" Zhong Shi blinked and said lightly, as if he was talking about a trivial matter, not another financial event that might be enough to cause a global sensation .

   "What about the macro aspect?" Zhong Yi was not bewitched by Zhong Shi at all, and still asked persistently.

Zhong Shi's face suddenly revealed a helpless expression, shrugged, spread his hands and said: "The problem is very serious! The amount of foreign debt is unbelievable. If there is a slight loss of confidence, the entire Korean won will fall into turmoil. Now There is no problem because international capital has not noticed this yet, but when they notice, I am afraid it will be the end of the Korean currency.”

  Zhong Yi nodded and didn't speak for a long time.

  The two fell silent for a while.

  Pu Duyou followed behind them, feeling very strange, why did the two who were chatting and laughing just now suddenly become dumb? Although he couldn't understand the language of these two people, he could tell from the expressions on their faces that they were talking about Lotte World. Pu Duyou knew that almost every tourist who has been to Lotte World is full of praise for the amusement facilities here, and they are all smiling after playing.

   It's just that these two unusual-looking guests changed their faces after just joking for a while? Pu Duyou thought silently in his heart for a long time, but he couldn't figure out what the two distinguished guests were thinking. However, he quickly gave up this futile idea, and instead estimated in his heart how much he could get paid for this translation job. After all, this group of people seemed to be very rich, and the hotels they stayed in were all five-star.

  For a while, his mind became hot again, and he made up his mind to treat this group of people well.

  …

After ten o'clock in the evening, a group of people from Zhongshi came to the bar next to the hotel to sit around for a while. After a day's work, they found a quiet bar to have a few drinks, and then hooked up with a beautiful woman to go back. Way, it's just that Jong-seok never engages in this kind of activity. But this time when he was abroad, it was rare for Zhong Shi to go with them, so under the instigation of several researchers, Zhong Shi also came to the bar attached to the hotel.

   This is a bar with a more elegant style. The overall decoration style tends to be bright. Since the guests who visit are relatively high-end, there is no noisy feeling like that of ordinary bars. The guests served drinks quietly, tasting wine on their own small sofas and armchairs, and chatting with each other in low voices.

When Zhong Shi and his party arrived at the bar, a blond waiter came over and greeted everyone in Korean. Seeing confused expressions on the faces of several people, he switched to fluent English and asked everyone what they wanted. What to drink.

  Listening to the light music and tasting the tequila in the cup, Zhong Shi only felt a burst of relaxation. This kind of style created is very common in later generations, but it is undoubtedly rare at this time, and it is very popular with high-end people, especially in a country like South Korea that has suddenly become rich, and it is a place where the so-called upper class flocks to.

   Looking around, Koreans with high cheekbones and small eyes are everywhere. In the eyes of Westerners, it is difficult to recognize Asian faces, but in the eyes of Asians themselves, they can see this subtle difference very clearly. For example, Koreans generally have single eyelids and small eyes, while Japanese are short in stature, and they are easy to see when they meet people. bow. These Koreans wore not so inappropriate suits and colorful ties, and came here dressed as if they were going to a formal banquet, and they also spoke in a suppressed voice, completely in line with Westerners.

Zhong Shi shook his head slightly, then turned his head to look at Pu Douyou who was sitting opposite him, only to see that he was pouring whiskey one cup at a time, and he had already downed half of the bottle in less than half a quarter of an hour. The small pair of eyes were even more narrowed at this moment, but seeing Zhong Shi looking at him, Pu Douyou was startled, and defended with a big tongue: "Sir, this is..."

  Koreans are addicted to alcohol, no matter men, women, old or young, even if only spicy cabbage is served with wine, they can drink for most of the day. But what they drink is the kind of shochu produced in their own country, with a degree of about 20 degrees, so even if they drink a whole bottle, the reaction will not be too great. But whiskey is completely different. This kind of strong alcohol is definitely not comparable to shochu, so after only drinking about half a bottle, Pu Douyou is already close to a state of confusion.

   Seeing his situation, Zhong Shi curled his lips and turned to look elsewhere. Seeing that this gentleman didn't listen to his explanation, Pu Duyou felt relieved, and secretly filled his glass with whiskey.

   "Sheba!"

  Zhong Shi scanned the audience and found that there were not many beauties he wanted. After thinking about it for a while, he realized that now is not the time for the Korean plastic surgery industry to flourish. Just as he was about to stand up and leave, an extremely rude voice sounded from the ground, breaking the quiet environment here.

  Shiba is a Korean swear word, similar to the "Three Character Classic" in the Chinese language. Koreans have the habit of swearing regardless of their dignity, so when Zhong Shi heard this sentence, he was slightly stunned, and then realized what happened, and his body that had just stood up sat down again. Come down and look at the place where the sound was made with interest.

I saw a well-dressed young man in his twenties sternly reprimanding a middle-aged man in his forties who was dressed in ordinary clothes. The middle-aged man kept his hands together from the beginning to the end, lowered his head, and didn't dare to say a word of rebuttal. Around them, there were a few white faces sitting, looking at this scene head-on. Judging from their expressions, they probably didn't know what happened.

Since they all spoke Korean, Zhong Shi felt a little bored after watching it for a while, but just as he was about to turn his head, a scene that shocked him happened. He slapped the middle-aged man, and the crisp voice could be heard clearly in the audience. After the slap was over, the young man didn't stop, and slapped the middle-aged man on the other side of his face with a backhand.

  The two slaps were extremely hard, and red palm marks immediately appeared on the face of the middle-aged man. And during the whole process, the middle-aged man didn't even put up any resistance, allowing the young man to slap his face hard twice under the watchful eyes of everyone.

Zhong Shi frowned, and was about to get up to see what happened, but he didn't expect that there was someone who moved faster than him. He saw a figure suddenly jumping past him, and rushed to the attacker in three steps at a time. In front of him, he suddenly shouted: "Xiba, you **** who didn't know where you were born, did you treat senior like this?"

   After finishing speaking, that figure didn't care about anything at all, and slapped the young man in the face. The young man was caught off guard, and he slapped him right away. He heard a "slap", and a bright red slap appeared on the young man's face. It was obvious that the assailant struck hard. There is no effort left.

   "This is troublesome!" Zhong Shi, who had just walked over, couldn't stop him, so he could only slap his forehead and sigh helplessly in his heart.
