But overall, this is a good thing for Gu Bai.
Thinking of this, Gu Bai also showed a satisfied smile.
Seeing Gu Bai's expression, Lee Boo-jin also felt a bit more excited in her heart. It seems her choice was not wrong. Making Gu Bai happy is far more useful than contributing to Samsung.
Gu Bai just glanced at her lightly, then stood up directly and walked towards the door.
"Has my sister gotten up?"
"I've already sent someone to inform her."
Gu Bai didn't say much and followed Lee Boo-jin to the restaurant.
The restaurant staff also received the notice and began to busy themselves.
A table several meters long was already laid out with various dishes, and under Lee Boo-jin's guidance, Gu Bai sat at the head of the table.
The girl group members also started arriving, and seeing the food on the table, they covered their mouths and exclaimed one after another.
Besides Xu Beibei, who naturally sat beside Gu Bai, others sat in their designated seats under the arrangement of the waiters.
"Mr. Gu, I didn't know what flavor you liked, so these breakfasts are prepared according to the styles of various countries around the world, a total of thirty-six dishes. Please taste them. If you're not satisfied, I can have the chef team make it again immediately."
"No need to go through all that trouble, President Li, sit down and eat with us."
Looking at the array of food in front of him, Gu Bai couldn't help but sigh internally.
After all, this is a capitalist country, a breakfast with thirty-six dishes. If this were done in the homeland and got exposed, it would undoubtedly be condemned by everyone, no matter how one tries to justify it.
But in Goryeo, it's not a problem at all.
Upon Gu Bai's instruction, Lee Boo-jin didn't hold back and sat beside Gu Bai.
Gu Bai took a piece of meat dish Xu Beibei liked and then also picked a piece of Thai-style grilled meat, slowly putting it into his mouth.
Seeing Gu Bai start eating, everyone else began to use their chopsticks.
"President Li, how much do you know about S·M Company?"
"Mr. Gu, what do you mean?"
"Its influence in your entertainment industry of Goryeo."
"When it comes to influence, S·M Company far surpasses other companies in the entertainment industry, only YG Entertainment can compare with it. To illustrate, S·M Company occupies half of the entertainment industry in Goryeo, and I'm not just talking about artists, but in all aspects."
"If I wanted to acquire S·M Company, would it be very troublesome?"
"What?"
Lee Boo-jin didn't know how to respond.
"Why?"
"Why does Mr. Gu want to acquire S·M Company?"
"I just suddenly had this thought. Is it very troublesome?"
After considering for a while, Lee Boo-jin continued, "It is relatively troublesome because the three major entertainment giants in Goryeo are controlled by various domestic conglomerates, and even some foreign capital. For example, within S·M Company, there are shares from Hua Country's Ali Baba.
Although its market value is only USD 1.1 billion, the relationships are rather complex, and acquiring it requires multi-party negotiations."
"So, there is hope?"
Seeing Gu Bai's teasing eyes, Lee Boo-jin bit her lip and said, "Yes."
Gu Bai took a sip of an unknown drink in front of him, smiled, and said, "I wonder if President Li is willing to help me a little?"
"At your command."
"I hope to acquire the majority of shares, at least 51%, of either S·M Company or YG Entertainment before I return home. As for money, I can offer USD 2 billion. As long as you can negotiate it, you can get the money from my think tank. How about it?"
"This..."
Lee Boo-jin pondered, not knowing how to answer.
If this matter were handled by Lee Jae-yong or Lee Kun-hee, it would be much simpler. After all, they are the ones truly in control of Samsung Empire's network. Though she has the title of Eldest Princess, not many conglomerates would listen to her, making this matter quite tricky for her.
Seeing Lee Boo-jin's hesitation, Gu Bai opened his mouth again.
"If President Li can handle the relations among the various conglomerates well in this matter, then I believe, under your control, the future of Samsung will have a brand-new appearance."
After these words were spoken, Lee Boo-jin no longer hesitated in the slightest.
"Rest assured, Mr. Gu, I am willing to exert my utmost ability to mediate for you!"
The words Gu Bai had just said were equivalent to a promise made in person. Everything she did was for this, naturally energizing her like she was injected with adrenaline.
"Then I'll trouble President Li."
After saying this, Gu Bai didn't speak again.
Meanwhile, the other girl group members at the table were already accustomed to being stunned; what's an acquisition for ten or so billion dollars when Gu Bai can spend USD 580 million to buy a private jet?
The richer Gu Bai is, the more these artists under him will rise, that's for sure.
Ten minutes later, Gu Bai wiped his mouth and stood up, saying to the girl group members still dining, "After you finish eating, you have an hour to do your makeup and dress up. There is an event hosted by S·M Company later."
"Okay."
Upon hearing this, everyone showed excited expressions on their faces.
Suddenly, Gu Bai looked at Wu Xuanyi sitting on the other side and said, "Wu Xuanyi, you don't need to go, stay at the hotel."
Having said this, and without giving anyone time to react, he left directly, and Lee Boo-jin immediately followed.
The once extremely excited Wu Xuanyi turned pale upon hearing Gu Bai's words.
Everyone else could go, but she couldn't. Does this count as being sidelined?
Some girl group members who didn't have a good relationship with Wu Xuanyi mocked her gleefully. They still remembered how she had rejected Gu Bai on the plane.
Though Xu Beibei, who had a relatively good relationship with Wu Xuanyi, didn't say anything, she quietly ate her breakfast.
In her eyes, Gu Bai was the most important, and these friends couldn't compare to him. Since her brother decided Wu Xuanyi should stay, he must have his reasons.
As for Gu Bai on the other side, after saying those words, he cast the matter aside directly.
Initially, he thought Wu Xuanyi was a smart woman, but now it seems she's just average.
At first, she kept a relatively low profile in front of Gu Bai. Just debuting, she'd already inflated with a bit of fame and forgot who she was?
Gu Bai certainly knew she was upset about the incident with Di Li Ruo Ba, but so what?
What right does she have to be upset?
Gu Bai's word alone can determine her future career path, and her status here is entirely dispensable. Not everyone is qualified to throw a tantrum at Gu Bai.
