Hollywood Zenith-Chapter 530 Reinforcements-2

" Is that...I am sorry. I thought-"

" It's fine. I am looking at your company's business reach, and I can't help but notice that you are the biggest sponsor for a particular agency in South Korea." He changed the topic so as not to make their conversation weird.

" Korea? I don't handle that division, but I know the person who does. I can do something, but it will be sent through my father. If it's something major, I don't have proper authority for it." She said truthfully without making empty promises.

" It's fine; it will pay out in the long run. I want you to look into SK Corporation in South Korea. They are part of a triad of brands effectively ruling over the idol and entertainment market for quite some years now."

" I have heard about them. A few of my friends are crazy about Korean idols, but I didn't see any charm in them. I don't like smoke and mirror performance, just more classical stuff."

" As expected from a rich young lady, but that's unimportant. What happened was..." Samuel told her everything.

From the time he visited Paris for a concert and how he got to perform on stage while wearing a disguise. She thought that he was boasting about meeting celebrities and becoming famous overnight, but it changed when he told her about what was happening to Yoona because of it.

He also told her about the countermeasures he had in mind, with Park already on his way to Korea. He would soon make contact with them and tell them about his orders. Samuel was not worried about Delphina spreading the news because she needed him much more than he needed her.

" It sounds like you already have it under control. Why go after the agency? There are always a few bad apples in any organization. For my understanding, it's the media and people that were quick to make their judgment without any proof." She made a sound argument.

" I know, but most people are just a channel for echoing rumors. Isn't it her company's job to back her up? They are ready to disband the group, and not just that, they will retain those who can't pay the penalty just as a table piece to show what happens when someone falls out of line." he paused for a second because he was getting angry.

" In the end, their careers' are over; it's not easy to find a group of people with synergy, and believe me, because I witnessed it first hand. If we can force them to admit their mistake and put some reliable resources into dispelling rumors, wouldn't it be ideal to launch a counterattack on a more positive note?"

" You need solid proof for that, but the main problem is that Korea is a growing market. Last I heard, my father was very keen on investing in Asia. You have to give some incentive, not for me but for my father to even think about it."

" What about my new agency that I set up this year? It's not generating money currently, but I plan to bring both groups under my agency. I can assure you they will generate a fair amount of revenue in the future."

" Is it an exclusive contract?"

" That-"

" I thought so. It's not appealing to invest in an emerging company than to go next door to SK, which is already a conglomerate. You have to do better than that."

" What about opening more stores in the USA? You only have about five hundred stores in the States, right? How about I double that, and we could split the profits."

lightsnοvεl.cοm " You are after our profits now?"

" I will lease the store space at a cheap price and also provide a safe channel for transactions. It will be a multi-year partnership, but if you don't share any profits, I will lose all my money!" Samuel thought it was an excellent way to utilize a few prime real estate he had bought recently.

He didn't tell her about him buying failing back right now because that plan would take time. It's not easy to enter the banking sector, even if one has the money. He would keep these banks functional until the eventual merger in the future.

" I will pass your message to my father. He doesn't know that we are scheming together for his throne currently, so don't expect me to over-praise you or anything. This means the chance of him agreeing to it is slim, but it's worth a shot. If he contacts you, just tell me you know me through Paige. Alright?"

" Yes, ma'am." She didn't sound hopeful, but it was worth a shot. Even if she failed, he had other underhand tactics to deal with SK.

" In the meantime, just don't do anything to arouse my brother's suspicions. I have few measures to keep him under control, but I want everything to be perfect."

" Alright, I am counting on you, partner!" It sounded strange.

"...fine. I am hanging up." She hung up the phone. Why did him calling her partner made her feel...she didn't know. She dispelled the idea and went back to work.

...

" You said this is where he is staying? Does Aunt Laura finally kick him out of the house?"

" Hey, that's mean."

" It's fine; the young master had been a mischievous type since childhood. I know that I don't have to tell you about that."

" You bet! There are empty rooms here, right? I have a bad jet lag."

" Yes, living quarters are already complete. The work has been halted for a few weeks to give him some privacy, but the pool is finished. You can take a dip after getting some rest."

" I can't wait. Look at all this greenery! The house also looks rustic, which gives off a different feeling to the city's highrise."

" Right, look at the door- Wait, someone is already inside?"

" Where?"

"It's Miss Mayra. She has lived here with young master since he returned from France."

" Oh, so young master is enjoying himself? I really like to know where he is? Even his cell phone is busy. We left him for a few months, and he has already added another one to the list!"
