Gao Zhigen sat outside the door of a conference room with an uneasy look on his face.

Inside the door, the board of directors of Dagong Group were holding a closed-door meeting.

As one of South Korea's largest chaebols, Daegong Group controls half of South Korea's economic lifeline and is also one of the largest shareholders of HSL.

Gao Zhigen was stripped of his position as president by the board of directors because of his previous decision-making errors, but this was not a complete death sentence for him.

If he can convince the board of directors of Dagong Group, then he still has the slightest chance of turning around.

Now, he is holding a thick stack of documents in his hands, sitting on the sofa with half his buttocks, stretching his neck, like a goose waiting to be fed.

"Okay, come in."

Finally, the conference room door opened, and a secretary came out and waved to Gao Zhigen.

"Thank you, thank you!" Gao Zhigen stood up, nodded and bowed to express his gratitude, then hunched over and entered the conference room, bowing randomly.

As the president of HSL, Gao Zhigen is already considered a top-notch worker.

But the people in this house can produce more than 20% of South Korea's GDP.

They are the real aristocracy and the pinnacle of power in Korea.

Here, no amount of humility or humility is too high.

"Sit down." At the top, a man with a somewhat mean expression took a deep breath. It seemed that he couldn't help but get angry when he saw Gao Zhigen, but he still held it back and looked at it with one eye.

He looked at Gao Zhigen and said, "Director Park convinced me to give you another chance. Do you have anything else to say?"

"President!" Hearing the man's question, Gao Zhigen just touched his butt on the chair, and then stood up immediately, "I have a plan here that can definitely counter Gu Xiaobai's cultural invasion!"

Seeing the president's frown, Gao Zhigen quickly spread out the thick folder in front of him and said in an almost excited tone: "I call this plan 'Sea Counterattack'!"

Um?

This name has aroused interest in many people.

"What does Gu Xiaobai rely on to become popular throughout Asia? Is it really because of his music? Not necessarily! What he relies on is actually a unique form. He is the first person to hold such a large-scale concert at sea!" said

At this point, Gao Zhigen was a little excited. He spread the folder in front of him and tried to let as many people see the picture above him.

"But our shipbuilding technology in South Korea is the strongest in the world. What Gu Xiaobai can do, why can't we?! I heard that our Dagong Group is about to launch a super-large tonnage ship. This ship

It’s bigger than several football fields combined, why don’t we have a concert on board too?”

"If we organize artists and male and female groups from all over Korea to compete head-on with Gu Xiaobai, there is no way he can beat us..."

There was abnormal excitement in Gao Zhigen's tone.

It's not that he himself doesn't know what Gu Xiaobai's strength is.

It's that he doesn't want to believe it and can't believe it.

How can such a young guy dominate the entire Korean entertainment industry? Impossible!

You are stealing, cheating, and showing no moral integrity!

If we are ready and everyone follows the rules, how can I lose?

"That's enough!" Upon hearing this, the president of Dagong Group slammed the table in disappointment and anger.

"Uh..." Gao Zhigen stayed there like a frightened chicken, not daring to move.

He didn't know where he went wrong.

Obviously this plan is very good, and it has a lot of room for maneuver!

Why don't you support it?

He couldn't understand.

"Let's end this topic here. Although HSL has suffered a lot recently, I have always tolerated you, but I didn't expect you to be so short-sighted!"

Listening to the president's roar, Gao Zhigen was a little confused.

Why am I so short-sighted? Am I not wholeheartedly pursuing the development of HSL?

"After all, the entertainment industry is just our sideline business, but the shipbuilding industry is the real lifeblood of our Dagong Group and the foundation of our existence. I will never allow you to provoke Gu Xiaobai and incur the loss of our shipbuilding industry!"

Gao Zhigen was speechless.

What?

Provoke Gu Xiaobai and incur damage to the shipbuilding industry of Dagong Group?

What does this mean?

Why would provoking Gu Xiaobai affect our shipbuilding industry?

Gao Zhigen has always been in the entertainment industry and really doesn't know much about the main business of Dagong Group.

But more importantly, he doesn't understand technology.

"In the first half of the year, our Dagong Group ranked first in the world in terms of new orders, but in the second half of the year, the Shipbuilding Group had already snatched away a large number of orders. Who do you think is the reason?"

Because of who?

I...how do I know who it is because of?

"You, you don't know anything about Gu Xiaobai's strength..."

Do you think Gu Xiaobai has subverted only the music and entertainment circles?

Do you think Gu Xiaobai just has a cloud king who can fly around?

What do you think Gu Xiaobai was fussing over before he became obsessed with aircraft?

Do you think anyone can build Gu Xiaobai’s Dragon Palace on the Sea?

Do you think Gu Xiaobai’s powerless propulsion technology can really run just by the wind?

Now Gao Zhigen is like an ant challenging an elephant and trying to recruit two pigs to help him become more courageous.

how can that be possible?

The president sighed, closed his eyes, and then waved his hand: "Okay, you can go down. You don't have to worry about HSL anymore."

This time, Gao Zhigen finally understood.

What? How could this be?

"President, no, please give me another chance. This time I will definitely not disappoint your expectations! President!"

Gao Zhigen wanted to say something else, but he was already dragged out of the conference room by his secretary and others.

Seeing Gao Zhigen's dejected look, the secretary did not chase him away, but let him sit in the lounge next door and rest for a while.

It also gave him some final dignity.

Sitting in the lounge, Gao Zhigen stared blankly ahead.

Don't know what to think.

When he came to his senses, he heard the secretary-general of the group's general office talking on the phone next to him.

"I don't care how much money you have to spend. Miss, you must buy the most expensive seat. You said there are too many people competing? Who are they? What? I understand. I will report to the president and continue to add you.

Budget…”

At this moment, Gao Zhigen had an inexplicable and absurd feeling.

He felt like a martyr who died on the battlefield, lying on the ground, looking at his wife and daughter, cheering and throwing themselves into the arms of the invaders, and giggling in their arms.

He didn't know how he left the group headquarters.

He walked aimlessly down the street.

After a long time, he suddenly stopped.

There is a small cafe nearby.

He unexpectedly returned to the headquarters of the "Korean Wave Defense Alliance".

He pushed the door open and walked in, and saw the owner of the cafe tearing down the banner from the wall.

"His" sound.

The banner was broken and the "Korean Wave" in the middle was gone.

The words "defend" and "alliance" seemed to be mocking him.
