Chapter 494 494, Stone Breaking

South Korea, Seoul, Myeongdong

A two-story building facing south is hidden in a small alley with sewage flowing across it. Compared with the luxury beauty shops on both sides of the street, it looks somewhat downtrodden.

In 2001, on the first day of the Lunar New Year, Sun Hao, who flew directly from the island city to Seoul, once again stood at the door of this small [Lee Jae Hee Tailor Shop].

The reason why I use the word "Zai" is because Sun Hao has been here before.

He reached out and knocked on the door. Just like last time, Sun Hao heard several coughs coming from inside.

"Ahem, cough...come in."

The tailor shop still has the original furnishings, a simple ironing table, a sewing machine piled with fabrics, and an iron stove with two burnt holes.

"Coming?"

The old tailor seemed older, sitting by the stove and squinting slightly.

However, his eyes were still sharp, and he recognized Sun Hao just by raising his eyelids.

"You are now an international director. It is said that many boys who want to become famous have flown to the Chinese capital in the past few days, saying they want to participate in the audition for your crew.

But why did you come to Seoul? "

"Haha... I didn't expect you, a professional broker, to pay attention to entertainment news?"

Although it was only his second visit, Sun Hao did not regard himself as an outsider. He walked into the room, put down the gifts, and started busy.

Add coal to the small stove, add water to the empty kettle, and then put it on the stove...

"What, you miss my barley tea?"

It seemed that he felt a little hot, so the old tailor who was lying on the chair moved his body to the other side.

"yes!

In this winter, if you take a sip of steaming barley tea, the taste will be amazing. "

After finishing his work, Sun Hao took the initiative to pull up a chair and put it next to the stove, waiting for the water in the kettle to boil.

"My hometown is in Daocheng. The beer there is good, and the Liuting pig's trotters in the town are also delicious, so I brought them here for you to try."

"Haha..., thanks!"

The old tailor glanced at the gift Sun Hao brought, said thank you, and then stared at him.

"Tell me, what are you trying to stir up when you come here this time?"

"Don't, don't, don't…"

Sun Hao waved his hand quickly: "You old man, you can't slander me like this. I'm just here for a trip and I want to see you.

Besides, I am just a young director, so I have no ability to stir up trouble! "

"hey-hey…"

Hearing this, the old tailor chuckled and tapped Sun Hao twice with his fingers.

"Tomorrow, January 25th, which is what you Chinese call the second day of the Lunar New Year, your latest movie "The Martian" will be released in major theaters around the world.

According to usual habits, tonight, some important box office markets, such as South Korea, Japan, and North America, will screen the film in advance.

However, now, it is three o'clock in the afternoon, and the movie is still silent. It has not advertised on the Internet or TV, nor hired people to put up posters on the roads in various cities...

Haha, this seems a bit abnormal, right? ! "

"Smart, you are indeed a smart person."

At this time, the water boiled.

Sun Hao stood up and poured boiling water into the teapot, which already contained about 20 grams of barley tea.

Maybe it was Sun Hao's flattery that had an effect, or maybe it was the fragrance of barley tea that made the old tailor feel happy. After Sun Hao finished brewing the tea, he slowly stood up and said:

"Say it quickly!

As long as you don't let me hold a bag of explosives and shout "Movie fans all over the world go watch "The Martian"" while storming the Blue House. "

"Hehe, that's impossible, absolutely impossible." Sun Hao smiled, took out a thick brown paper bag from the bag he carried with him and handed it over.

"What's in it?"

The old tailor weighed it with his hands and found that the brown paper bag was quite heavy.

"There are some videos and photos about Chairman Li and his son. Of course, there are also several young and beautiful heroines in it."

"Um…"

Obviously, the old tailor was hesitating and no longer as agile as before.

"Don't be afraid. I have no intention of threatening them with these things. I just want to send a message to them through you. Doesn't Samsung want to go global?

I helped them come up with a really good idea that could become known around the world overnight. "

"Tell me?"

"They can advertise on major TV stations around the world at 6 o'clock this afternoon, such as China's CCTV, Japan's Fuji TV, South Korea's SBS, and the United States' CNN and Fox...

The content of the advertisement is that as long as moviegoers around the world buy a movie ticket for "The Martian", our company will subsidize three times the ticket price. "

"puff…"

While drinking tea, when the old tailor heard Sun Hao's explanation, he immediately squirted out the water in his mouth, and then stared at him blankly, with a clear meaning in his eyes:

It seems that Li Jianxi and his son are not so stupid, right?

"Don't look at me like that. If you just say this, will Samsung become more famous than before?"

"Yes, after doing this, Samsung has indeed become famous around the world!

But this is [a world-famous scapegoat], okay? "

"How can you be taken advantage of?" Sun Hao continued to explain seriously.

“They are giving benefits to movie fans around the world.

What's more, Samsung can control the amount of benefits to be distributed to about 1 billion US dollars, so that fans who buy tickets first will get the benefits first. "

Hearing this, the old tailor was slightly stunned, and then looked up at the window and smiled.

"Sun Hao, you are really good at calculating!

Samsung Electronics has just announced that the production of mobile phones this year will exceed 50 million units, and it has developed the world's largest 40-inch TFT-LCD display.

Taking this as an opportunity, Samsung Electronics has just signed an underwriter in the United States and is preparing to launch a new round of financing. It is said that the financing amount of this company with a market value of 107 billion US dollars is 5 billion US dollars, and you let them pay 1/5 of it.

It hurts, but it doesn't make them desperate. "

Speaking of this, the old tailor suddenly paused, "Sun Hao, it seems that this little affair between the father and son is not worth 1 billion US dollars, right?"

"It's not worth it, but what if they like the same heroine? "

"Eh..." The old tailor frowned.

After a long time, he finally sighed.

"I'll take this job. Whether it succeeds or not, I'll give you news at four o'clock in the afternoon."

"Okay. "

Nodding and thanking him, Sun Hao patted the brown paper bag on the table, then turned and walked out of the tailor shop.

…………

Koreans always eat barbecue with soju. When they get to the store, they can see that the common people here basically eat a bite of meat and drink a sip of wine...

And "common people" is not a derogatory term, it means "common people" in Korean.

After leaving the tailor shop, Sun Hao turned a few corners on the street and came to the now famous [Jiang Hudong Baiding Barbecue Restaurant] which will become more famous in the future.

He ordered half a catty of pork belly, a plate of enoki mushrooms, and a plate of tofu skin, and then Sun Hao grilled meat while watching the TV hanging on the wall.

[Dear viewers in front of the TV, Jiang Zheyuan, a famous historian in my country, has been researching for half a year. He believes that Sun Hao, a young Chinese director who has become famous all over the world because of the promotional video for Beijing's Olympic bid, is actually a Korean.
