Chapter three hundred and eighty seventh looking forward to the future
As a country known as democratic and open, the United States is a country with multiple ethnic groups coexisting. In this country, there are also many Chinese people living, living and even immigrating. Chinatown and Chinatown are the most populous places in China.
Han Ankang and others who left the Aerospace City soon drove to Huaxia City not far from downtown Houston. After everyone got off the bus, Han Ankang could clearly feel that there were many more Asian faces here than other places.
Even on this street, you can hear the voices of talking in Chinese from time to time. This also shows that Chinese culture has indeed spread to the whole world, and is even constantly changing the pattern of the world.
Walking on a street with great Chinese characteristics, Han Ankang looked at the five girls and was completely immersed in the cheerful tour. However, Han Ankang seemed very quiet, looking at the shops beside the streets from time to time.
Whenever he sees a store selling old Chinese items, he will go in and take a look. But what disappoints him is that most of the things sold here are relatively common old items representing Chinese culture.
However, most of the clerks who sell things in these stores will speak fluent Chinese language. This makes Han Ankang sometimes suddenly realize whether he has returned to China, rather than the American continent far away from China.
Compared to Han Ankang, they were more likely to be a blip, and these girls were more likely to watch and not buy them. In addition to a store selling Chinese handicrafts, these girls bought several Chinese knots and planned to go back to study how to edit them. The others were all, traveling through various stores and exerting their inexhaustible energy.
It was not until they arrived at the fragrant food street that these girls realized that the breakfasts they ate when they went out were basically consumed. When they smelled the aroma of these foods, they felt a little greedy.
Seeing Kang Ji-young rushing over again, she said without shy away from anything and wanted to find a restaurant to have something delicious. Han Ankang also said happily: "Okay, let's take a look on the street first and find a relatively quiet restaurant to eat."
With his words, the other four girls followed, one man and five women were looking for a place to eat on the food street. Until Han Ankang saw a restaurant with the signature "Tangren Food Mansion" and thought the decoration style of this store was good.
Soon, he led five girls in and listened to the two waitresses wearing cheongsams at the door, saying hello in very fluent English. However, Han Ankang asked calmly: "Can you speak Chinese?"
When he heard this, two waitresses who also looked like Chinese faces immediately said: "Ah! It turns out that Mr. is a compatriot in China. Hello. Welcome to you. What do you need?"
Seeing the two girls seemingly speaking fluently in Chinese, Han Ankang quickly said: "Let me find two tables facing the street, one table for me, and one table for me, and one table for me to entertain my subordinates for dinner."
After Han Ankang nodded, the bodyguards who were protecting nearby quickly gathered. Seeing these tough young and middle-aged men, the two girls also realized that the identity of this man was not simple.
He soon led Han Ankang with a smile and came to a street-facing seat on the second floor. As for Jiang Minghao and others, they also sat down at a table next door. Not long after, a middle-aged man in Tang Dynasty clothes came over in person at this restaurant.
When Han Ankang heard that the man was still the owner of the restaurant, he didn't say much. After a few words of politeness to the other party, he quickly discussed the menu with the five girls. As for Jiang Minghao and others, they would also speak fluent Chinese language and would not have to worry about not being able to order a meal.
Looking at the middle-aged man who left, he left a business card, which actually contained the title of general manager of Tangren Food Culture Co., Ltd.. Han Ankang also felt that the general manager seemed to be worth nothing these days.
When the five girls flipped through the recipe, they said in a little tangled way: "OPPA, the dishes here are so expensive! Such a braised pork should only be enough in China. It's even sold for twenty dollars here, which is too expensive!"
For Goo Hara and others, I saw the price of Chinese cuisine when I arrived in Mingqiu the last time. This time I saw this restaurant, the same Chinese cuisine had increased several times, which was somewhat reluctant to let them go.
But Han Ankang smiled and said, "Okay, this place is Meilijian after all, and they all use US dollars. The prices are naturally different. Don't worry about the money. Just order whatever you want."
Despite this, the five girls still chose some classic and delicious food, and they didn't order some expensive dishes. Maybe they thought those dishes were indeed a bit too expensive compared to their ability to withstand them.
On the contrary, Jiang Minghao and others knew that the boss was not short of money and quickly ordered the dishes they needed. When they saw the dishes ordered by the girls, Han Ankang calculated that the total value might be less than 300 US dollars.
Looking at the beautiful waiter and looking at the inquiring look, Han Ankang quickly ordered a few more dishes. The signature dish at the unit price was only a few hundred dollars. The beautiful waiter immediately smiled and felt that the two businesses were doing well.
After ordering these dishes, Han Ankang said again: "Here I help me with a few bottles of Huaxia's spear. I will serve two bottles of red wine from this brand. As fast as possible. After dinner, we still have something to do."
Seeing the two bottles of red wine ordered by Han Ankang, the waitress also thought that for such diners, no wonder the boss came to entertain him in person. This meal cost nearly 10,000 US dollars, which is indeed rare.
Seeing the waiter laughing and bent down and left with the food order, Kang Ji-young suddenly said: "OPPA, this waiter is really realistic. She smiled so happily when she saw that we ordered so many dishes and wine. Humph!"
Han Ankang said calmly: "This is human nature. When people open the door to do business, they naturally hope that the more diners come in, the better. Besides, have you ever seen people carrying bodyguards spend only a few hundred dollars for a meal?"
After hearing Han Ankang say this, Kang Ji-young looked at the table where the bodyguard was sitting next to him and suddenly realized: "Oh, I said why did the owner of this restaurant come here to entertain him in person? It turned out that it was also for the money you had on you!"
It’s for money! This is really straightforward!
Han Ankang smiled and said, "It is normal for businessmen to pursue profits. It is rare to have the opportunity to go out for a trip. If you care too much about money, you will lose the fun of playing. It's okay, this little money is nothing to me!"
Listening to Han Ankang's words, Kang Ji-young, who was a little fan of money, sighed: "We have eaten nearly ten million won in one meal. If we eat a few more meals, our annual income will be almost the same. It seems that we have to work hard to make money in the future!"
Looking at Kang Ji-young's sighing look, Han Ankang smiled and said, "As far as I know, you should have made a lot of money in the past six months, right? Why did you pretend to be poor in front of me now?"
Hearing Han Ankang say this, Kang Ji-young also smiled and said, "Well, in addition to the normal salary this year, the company also gave us 10 million won year-end bonuses to each of us. But seeing that we can only have a meal, I think we have to work harder!"
Regarding this question, Han Ankang quickly said: "Don't worry, Brother Renhe told me that you currently have great market potential in Japan. In order to win the best interests of you, the company has turned down many endorsement invitations, which is to value your potential.
This time, after you have a vacation, you will return to the entertainment industry. I believe that apart from your performances and record income, the company will also focus on endorsement this year to gain more benefits for you and advertisers.
Speaking of which, the income from your performances and records is still slightly insufficient compared to advertising endorsements. With advertising endorsements, your income will increase several times in the future. Then you will not feel that eating such a meal will be expensive."
When Zheng Nicole heard this, she suddenly realized and said, "So that's it. No wonder Sister Baoer also found it strange. Why no one asked us to endorse. It turned out that they were rejected by the company. If we say so, we will work hard again this year."
After listening to Han Ankang's words, they also understood that if they had accepted endorsements from others last year, the profits in endorsement fees might be very low. Moreover, they all knew that most advertising endorsements were for a period of time.
If the endorsement fee is relatively low when they first rise, then advertisers will naturally make a lot of money. On the contrary, if their influence has been recognized, then the endorsement fee will naturally be much higher.
Therefore, the company refuses to let them endorse, which also values their development potential to some extent. Now it seems that LOEN companies are indeed more considering their interests and development than their previous brokerage companies.
It is naturally what they desire to become famous in the entertainment industry, but making money is also what they expect. The amount of endorsement fee also represents the degree of recognition they are recognized by the public. How can they not understand this truth?
In order to make these girls look forward to it, Han Ankang quickly said: "This year, the company's arrangements for you will focus on the development of Japan and China. In addition, the company will also begin to arrange other performance opportunities for you.
If possible, you may also receive the opportunity to star in a TV series this year. The company should have a lot of actions this year. As long as you are not afraid of being tired, I believe there will be endless notices."
When singing and being good, one will perform. When you hear that you have the opportunity to star in a TV series, the five girls' eyes will immediately brighten up. They feel that this will play an important role in expanding their future development space.
Listening to some company plans that Han Ankang revealed to them in advance, the five girls were also full of expectations for this year. Although they knew that they would definitely be very busy this year, but this kind of busyness was worth it.
Compared to the DSP company before, after joining LOEN company, they felt that their value was reflected. They were full of unlimited expectations for the future. This is the result they most hope to see when entering the entertainment industry.
