Life always has to continue. It is impossible to interrupt because of suddenly saying something is a white blush, or if one of his silly sisters is angry and unwilling to pay attention to him. So, on the morning of the end of May, Kim Jong-ming personally visited the second largest online comic website in Korea, daum web toon, as planned.

web toon, as the name suggests, means web cartoons, and it is also a unique name for Korean online comics in the Internet era. When it comes to online works, to be honest, South Korea is hampered by population, uh, it is better to say that it is due to the scale of online market or subscription volume... How to say it, anyway, this country is too small and the Korean audience is also small. Then, the imagination of the Korean people is probably not as powerful as the Internet writers in the big country in the west, and the animation industry is also not as powerful as that of another country in the east. Therefore, it is difficult for South Korea to survive independently, both online novels and online comics.

However, even so, Korean online comics have finally gradually embarked on their own path in recent years. By the way, except for a few pure love comics, most Korean comics are so-called plot comics, and many of them are realistic styles, and they often discuss social issues... Do you think it sounds a bit familiar?

That’s right, in other words, except for a very few fantasy themes, most of the other online comics in Korea can be directly adapted into TV series or movies! Even cartoonists have this tendency when painting and conception at the beginning, and the three major Korean comic websites basically rely on film and television to make real profits!

If that is the case, it is no wonder that the person in charge of this website forced the door to block after hearing that Kim Jong-ming arrived... You know, Kim Jong-ming made an appointment with a cartoonist named Zhu during this trip. It was purely a private exchange and there was no arrangement to discuss business with the website at all.

"Mr. Kim Jong-ming doesn't have to worry." After watching the person in charge of the website leave the reception room, a middle-aged man who covered his dark circles with a high myopia glass, the cartoonist named Zhu explained to the website a little. "President Park is so anxious because it is rare. After all, nowadays, there are fierce competition in any industry and any industry, so he has to do his best to survive the website."

Jin Zhongming refused to comment and just nodded slightly: "Teacher Zhu's words are reasonable."

"Mr. Kim Jong-ming doesn't seem to be very clear about the industry." The teacher Zhu, who drew "The Veteran", probably saw the other party's perfunctory behavior, so he couldn't help but say a few more words. "Now, all industries in South Korea are controlled by large companies, and even the comics industry cannot be avoided. The so-called three major Korean web toons, put aside the lezhin who is devoted to pure comics, is actually mainly competing with Daum and Na.ver. As for Na.ver, now it is a domineering on the Internet. Their web toon has separated the largest piece of cake, which makes us Daum in a state of anxiety all the time..."

"Well, na.ver may be a bit larger on the Internet, but he is not called a chaebol yet, right?" Kim Jong-ming couldn't help defending his senior. "And na.ver just split up with hangame last month, and his size and other things have also been reduced a lot."

"Does Mr. Kim Jong-ming think I'm a fool?" Teacher Zhu laughed out loud. "It's a big deal to say whether it's a chaebol or not, but everyone knows that Naver's separation is a good thing for Naver and Lee Hae-jin. After all, Naver is a search engine, and Hangame is a game website. It's not a thing of the same level, so how could it affect the size of a company? This time the separation can only show that Naver is getting stronger and stronger, and Lee Hae-jin is getting stronger and stronger, and he already has the confidence to challenge the former chaebol partners!"

Kim Jong-ming smiled awkwardly, and then he realized that the other party's "Veter" was specifically mocking the chaebol. Although there were some exaggerated plots, the various memes and routines in large enterprises were quite right, which shows that they really knew something like Korean-style large enterprises, and it seemed that they were a bit lacking in sincerity when they said this.

In fact, as the other party said, Naver is becoming more and more popular now, and Kim Jong-ming's good senior is becoming more and more skilled. This time, although Lee Hae-jin did not divorce the chaebol lady he didn't like, nor did he change his luxury car, he successfully separated Naver and Hangame, and after the separation, Naver was still firmly in his hand, which means that Lee Hae-jin has really gone to a higher level.

You know, before Lee Hae-jin gritted his teeth and asked Na.ver and Hangame to merge, the company was just one of the three-pointers in the Korean search engine market. And now... well, now this company still has one of the three-pointers in the Korean network, but one-third of the entire Korean network. The other two, one is to make outstanding contributions to the spread of Korean gossip, and the other is Kim Jong-ming's Korean version of Taobao.

Instant messaging, search engines, e-commerce, and three-legged teams. As for this familiar pattern, it can only be said that there are amazing similarities between modern Internet companies.

"Since Teacher Zhu is so honest." After his mind turned from Lee Hae-jin and Naver, Kim Jong-ming looked slightly serious. "I'm also honest. In fact, in today's situation, no matter what President Park said just now, I will never do any adaptation platform with him..."

"Why is this?" Teacher Zhu became instinctively curious. "Is it because of corporate culture or personal habits? Mr. Kim Jong-ming is unwilling to talk about 'business' when talking about personal affairs? I know that many bosses of large companies have similar rules."

"That won't be." Kim Jong-ming laughed. "Where are so many rules and regulations? People live to be free. It would be pitiful if they really live in that framework. Besides, I am the boss, and having rules is not for me. To be honest, Teacher Zhu said, the reason why I was perfunctory just now is not because President Park said badly, nor is it because I look down on the works of Daum Company. In fact, I really like many of your works here, mainly because he didn't take the right attitude towards me from the beginning... Don't look at me like this, the attitude I said didn't mean that... I mean, he himself understands that Daum is too small. If you really want to cooperate with me, there must be a premise, that is, this web

Toon takes the initiative to give up a certain proportion of equity to me, and then the two parties will cooperate on a large-scale adaptation basis. In short, no matter what, I cannot do as President Park said, and everyone can have fair exchanges. Where does fair exchanges come from in the shopping mall? Or, speaking with capital, those with more money bullying those with less money, this is a truly fair rule."

Teacher Zhu immediately fell silent. "The Veteran" is his famous work and the work he has spent the most energy in recent years. In order to try to cut the hearts of readers as much as possible, he kept collecting the anecdotes of Korean chaebols almost crazy. The so-called practice makes perfect. As the work is constantly updated, time has become a professional in Korean shopping mall culture, so he knows very well that Kim Jong-ming is right at all.

Even, not to mention the Korean shopping mall, it is the same all over the world. As long as there is no extra force between capital, the more money, bullying the less money, is indeed a universal "fair rule". As for the evil consequences that this method is destined to cause, let alone, otherwise where will the various governments come from one set of regulatory measures?

"It is because of this fair rule." Teacher Zhu sighed a little after coming back to his senses. "That is why these chaebol enterprises in South Korea are created. Every industry is like this. Small businesses can't survive independently. They can only rely on large enterprises in the way you just said. Then large enterprises become bigger and bigger, and finally formed a few giants monopolize the most valuable part of a specific industry..."

"The whole world is the same." Kim Jong-ming smiled hard. "It's just that South Korea's people are weak. At the beginning, the supervision of this area was almost zero. After reacting, everyone from the government to the people was unable to make the situation come true."

"Yes." Teacher Zhu nodded in agreement. "After all, the country is too small and weak. When he came to his senses, from the people to the government, he found that he had been kidnapped by the chaebol and did not dare to act rashly... Therefore, the formation of the chaebol is also due to historical reasons. This is why the new chaebol can only appear in emerging industries, because there are no loopholes in the old industries that make people take advantage of it."

"Talk about this topic," Kim Jong-ming asked suddenly. "Teacher Zhu, you should be considered half an expert. What do you think is the concept of a chaebol? Or what is it considered a chaebol? In South Korea, do you specifically refer to those four or five or more? And what are the ones that are mentioned just now? Do you think he is considered a chaebol now?"

Teacher Zhu was stunned for a moment, but the face with dark circles and fatigue immediately became serious: "To be honest, Mr. Jin Zhongming, you said that you have been doing this comic every day for half a year, and your mind is full of information about chaebols and theirs. I have really thought about this question seriously..."

"Please give me advice." Kim Jong-ming also sat up straight and seemed serious. He was really curious about the other party's answer.

"Say that." As he said that, Teacher Zhu pointed to outside the reception room, where many Daum employees were busy. "Although I signed a long-term contract with Daum and was in a natural opposition with Li Haizhen and his naver, to be fair, Li Haizhen and his company are really not qualified to call him a chaebol."

Kim Jong-ming became more interested.

"Li Hae-jin is very rich now. The Naver company he firmly controls is the largest network company in South Korea. Not only does it monopolize search engines, it is also expanding on the Internet in an octopus-style way..."

Kim Jong-ming nodded while listening, and returned to Na.ver itself. What the teacher Zhu in front of him was of course the truth. In fact, Kim Jong-ming knew this clearly that Lee Hae-jin's company has indeed reached a certain level of monopoly on the Korean Internet, and has been continuously expanding in depth on the Internet, such as online reading, online comics, online knowledge base (encyclopedia), daily news rankings... Anyway, the days were booming and dazed. To give the most direct example, the three major newspapers have cursed on their own websites every few days, saying that it was Na.ver and did not do any news at all, but took away nearly 80% of the advertising fees in the industry. How can the paper media survive?!

However, interestingly, the websites of the three major newspapers were also linked from the na.ver.

This industrial structure has indeed had a great atmosphere.

"However, in South Korea, things like chaebols need not only money, but also control over enterprises." Teacher Zhu continued to elaborate on his point of view. "It is not even just the so-called industry monopoly. It also requires sufficient reputation to make Koreans recognize this existence, and also requires a vague influence that is difficult to explain clearly. This influence does not refer to the business field, but from the entire national level... To describe it in an inaccurate way, that is, if a chaebol is really forced to become impatient, there is a possibility of shaking social stability."

Jin Zhongming raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Of course, it doesn't mean that they will really do this, nor does it mean that they can succeed. In fact, businessmen are always the easiest to compromise, but at least there must be such a possibility." Teacher Zhu is a man who draws comics, not a novel, but it gives people a feeling of a talkative otaku. "Mr. Jin Zhongming, think about it carefully, do those chaebols have this ability? You are like..."

"Then Teacher Zhu." Kim Jong-ming suddenly interrupted the other party, then pointed to his nose with a smile. "I'll ask you another question. If Senior Li Haizhen is not qualified, do you think I am qualified?"

Teacher Zhu was stunned for a moment, then remained silent for a long time before speaking: "In my personal opinion, Mr. Jin Zhongming does go faster and farther than Mr. Li Haizhen. You donate huge sums of money to the university every year in exchange for a large amount of recognition from the people. You also know how to use various industry associations and public welfare associations to enhance your reputation and control over related industries; and the money is more than Li Haizhen, and you have a higher level of career than him... However, when it comes to chaebols, you still need time."

"So that's it." Jin Zhongming nodded.

"But since I'm talking about this, I actually have a problem that I can't vomit quickly." Teacher Zhu suddenly said in reverse. "Mr. Jin Zhongming, are you so anxious?"

"What does it mean?" Jin Zhongming asked with a smile. "I have been here for almost two hours today and I haven't even talked about anything. Why are you anxious?"

"You know what I'm talking about." Teacher Zhu said seriously.

Kim Jong-ming smiled awkwardly, but didn't touch his nose... By the way, this is the benefit of a well-trained actor. You know, since Clinton's zipper door, the whole world has known that touching his nose is lying or hiding the embarrassment. Everyone has become body linguists, and it is becoming increasingly difficult for those who pretend to be raising them.

"Actually, in my opinion." Seeing that the other party recognized him, Teacher Zhu continued to say seriously. "Although they can't be called a chaebol, the biggest difference between you and Li Haizhen is definitely not the things I mentioned just now, because these are just a matter of quantity, and there is no essential difference between you two. In fact, in my opinion, the biggest difference between you two should be in an attitude inside... Li Haizhen obviously drifts with the flow. When he came to this day, he was more like a passive behavior, and was surrounded by the

People have pushed this to this extent. If they are not independent, they will be merged by others. If they don’t eat others, they will be swallowed up by those who are bigger. If they don’t make a monopoly, they will be robbed of their food. As we just said, this is something that is common in Korean business and Korean society. Since this mountain is established, they will do these things! But on the other hand, Mr. Kim Jong-ming, you? I always feel that you took the initiative from the beginning, and you have this kind of mentality from the beginning, and you have the beginning..."

"Are you active or passive?" Kim Jong-ming sighed suddenly. "Actually, the initiative in behavior may not be the initiative in mentality. Teacher Zhu, have you ever thought that I just saw more thoroughly than my senior, and knew from the beginning that this is the only way to go, so I seemed to be proactive everywhere and strive to be the first? And maybe it was his experience that gave me a sense of learning from the past?"

Teacher Zhu was suddenly moved because he was speechless. To put it bluntly, he was just a knife after all. No matter how well he drew a comic, he could not become a real expert.

Of course, the topic of chaebol cannot end here, because the meeting that was agreed today was originally intended to discuss this topic. However, the two quickly changed angles.

"The comic of Teacher Zhu is really impressive, especially about the second generation of the chaebol. Every plot looks absurd, but it seems that the corresponding people and things can be found in a vague way... No wonder it is so popular. My family is watching it, and later I follow it, and then I can't help but come to the door."

"It's good that Mr. Kim Jong-ming is interested." Speaking of the work, although it was still a topic of the second generation of the chaebol, Teacher Zhu certainly relaxed a lot. "Actually, as you said, every detail has a prototype. I have carefully checked the information and news materials. It's just that the source is too wide, and then it has been artistically processed and put on one person, so some people don't believe it, and they still find it absurd..."

"I don't know if others believe it or not." Kim Jong-ming shook his head repeatedly. "Anyway, I believe it. For example, the party that took drugs and ** in the finale recently. I saw many readers on the Internet commenting that this is too exaggerated... But in fact, as far as I know, let alone the second generation of chaebols, there are such parties among artists these days. Young people suddenly have money and no constraints, and they can do anything."

"I guessed that Mr. Jin Zhongming was very knowledgeable and could understand it." Teacher Zhu nodded repeatedly. "There are also the main cases, and readers who randomly fired drivers are all empathetic, because the news of large enterprises being randomly fired people is too common now. They pour paint on the King Sejong statue every day... But they don't believe in the matter of causing drivers to fight with others."

"I have never heard of letting the company's employees fight and have fun, but as an employee, I have encountered the fact that the company's boss's nephew randomly smashed the car with a baseball bat because the parking lot blocked the road." Kim Jong-ming laughed. "He also beat the employees who persuaded him to carry the stick directly. The so-called spoiled naughty kid, as soon as he got up, it would be normal to do anything!"

"Actually, that plot was really inspired by Mr. Jin Zhongming's incident." Teacher Zhu suddenly became a little embarrassed.

"Is that true?" Kim Jong-ming laughed. "But in the end I was bullying the father and son named Cui..."

"That's because you are Kim Jong-ming." Teacher Zhu said seriously. "I have been thinking, if it's someone else, for example, a sk employee who accidentally stopped in the wrong position, what would happen that day? That's why the main case in the comics came into being, and even the deviation of most of the later comics... At the beginning, this comic wanted to tell a story of a just policeman."

Kim Jong-ming nodded slightly. After all, the existence of the Korean chaebol really makes many people feel uncomfortable. Every year, people go directly to Samsung and the government to protest, demanding the arrest of Lee Kun-hee and confiscate all his property. The reason is that the chaebol should not exist at all. It is quite reasonable to rebel, and class revolution is the taste of everything.

There is no doubt that the cartoonist who mocked the chaebol comics in front of me was undoubtedly a person with that tendency... naive and brave.

Of course, I have to say that, the so-called special influence that is invisible and intangible at the national level... The person in front of me really feels like he is incisive.

Can you give it a try?

"Mr. Kim Jong-ming? Mr. Kim?"

"Oh!" Jin Zhongming suddenly came to his senses. "Sorry, your words just now touched me a little, and I thought a little more..."

"It's okay." After chatting for a long time, I felt that the young 'preparatory chaebol' in front of me was indeed as unpretentious as some people said. Teacher Zhu obviously became much more casual. "I was asking you, on the phone, you said you were very idle recently, and then you especially wanted to bring "The Veteran" to the big screen and have to act by yourself..."

"Is there any problem with this?" Kim Jong-ming asked seriously. "You are the original author of the comics and must be the first screenwriter in the movie. It's okay to say something."

"It's not that you don't have confidence in your acting skills... I think if you play the male lead, are you a little different? The protagonist's children in the comics are all five or six years old, and they have close-ups of their heads."

"Ha!" Kim Jong-ming laughed immediately. "Teacher Zhu misunderstood. I liked senior Huang Zhengmin, what do you think? He has already rested since "New World" and has also taken over a big production of our CJ. However, that big production needs time and is not well prepared, so he is now in a panic."

"Of course there is no problem with Huang Zhengmin, but..."

"Then I will invite senior Wu Dazhu and senior Liu Haizhen to play the role of the supporting role of the police team leader and the director of the second-generation rich man in the chaebol group. I will invite senior Li Jingrong to play the role of the leader of the chaebol. What do you think of this lineup?"

"What else can I think?" This time it was Teacher Zhu's turn to laugh and cry. "This is almost the best lineup, right?" However, at this point, Teacher Zhu suddenly became serious again. "But Mr. Kim Jong-ming... do you like the role of the second generation of the chaebol so much? That's a pure villain who can't be more pure! You haven't played a villain yet?"

Kim Jong-ming smiled slightly, but he was too lazy to talk about the problem of the negative character: "To be honest with you, Teacher Zhu, when I was reading the comics, when I saw several of the plots, I suddenly had a strange resonance, and then the idea of ​​trying this character was difficult to remove from my mind..."

"What are the plots?"

"One is to apply bananas to the female star's face." Kim Jong-ming smiled. "The other is to vent his anger on his dog after being wronged and beat the dog to death in the office... As we all know, Kim Jong-ming is very gentlemanly in his daily life and also takes great care of my Baker."

Teacher Zhu: “…”

"Actually, this strange feeling has happened a long time ago. I am not known for bullying female guests in "runningman"? It should be related to Surrey's gentleman."

Teacher Zhu: “…”

"Don't worry." Kim Jong-ming saw that the other party's face turned pale, and quickly comforted him. "There is nothing to avoid. Human hearts are naturally multi-faceted. I even went to ask a psychologist, and she said it was okay. She even told me that bullying people in variety shows and movies is better than bullying people outside, especially when I am really capable of bullying people outside."

Teacher Zhu then nodded slowly: "This is indeed the truth... But no matter what, if it is this lineup, the two Korean actors I admire the most will play two protagonists, and then the three best male actors I admire the most will play two supporting roles... There is no reason why this movie will not be popular!"

"That's true... Although the script and actors do not represent everything, if a good story can be added to the best actors, I really can't imagine any possibility of failure." At this point, Kim Jong-ming suddenly paused, but said something interesting with a smile. "It's like the ice bucket challenge that ignited this summer. Many people asked me why that thing became popular... In fact, if I named it not Mark and Rordie at the beginning, but something like a cat and a dog, let alone an ice bucket challenge, even a sulfuric acid bucket challenge would probably be difficult!"

"Are those two... acting?" Teacher Zhu was slightly stunned.

Jin Zhongming smiled slightly.

ps: The recent thing... is really a pitfall...
Chapter completed!
