Game Development Giant

In the evening, Jester followed Li Jianxi to the location of the gigolo banquet he mentioned.

This is a villa in Seoul. According to Li Jianxi, it should have been built by Ming people who came to North Korea to do business hundreds of years ago.

The buildings inside do not have the short houses, waterside pavilions and pavilions of traditional Korean architecture. They often have the destiny of Ming Dynasty gardens. They are not only the delicacy and compactness of southern gardens, but also the grandeur of northern courtyards. In a place like South Korea, seeing such a Chinese-style courtyard was indeed beyond Jester's expectation.

Passing through the elegant courtyard with small bridges and flowing water, Jester, led by Li Jianxi and several friends he had found to accompany him, arrived at an extremely spacious house.

There are paintings hanging on the walls of the room. Just looking at them, Jester thinks they are quite beautiful. They are similar to the meticulous paintings in Chinese paintings he knows. They are about people. In the center of the room is a long low table, which looks a bit like a Western painting. It was a big banquet table, but much shorter. It was about as tall as the small table he had seen in movies and TV series before.

Originally, he thought it was Xiaoji's, but obviously, the reality was quite different from what he thought. The house was paved with flooring, which was spotless, and there were pipes running under the floor. Although it was winter, I couldn't feel the chill at all. I took off my shoes and stepped on the floor, and I immediately felt a pleasant warmth.

Please take a seat.

Li Jianxi smiled and stretched out his hand to Jester, pointing to the back end of the long table. This is the position of the host and guest, and the host's seat is at the front end of the long table.

After everyone was seated, Li Jianxi introduced the people who were with him to Jester - except for one of them who was the owner of this banquet, the other three were all Koreans who were friends with Li Jianxi. The son of the consortium.

Thanks to Mr. Shen this time, he opened this Jisheng Banquet. However, it is never open to the public. Only people in our circle know that the previous banquet tonight has actually been booked out, but I said yes After you came, he immediately contacted the host who booked tonight's banquet. Li Jianxi pointed to a middle-aged man in his early forties with very thin hair, whom Li Jianxi had told Jester before. , the other party is a big shot in the catering industry in South Korea.

While they were talking, Korean actors and actresses walked in one by one. They were wearing Korean traditional clothes cng-ge. The wide skirt is tied to the chest, vertical to the ground, and only a pair of trousers are worn underneath. Although at a glance, it is tightly wrapped and nothing can be seen inside, the top is short and small, and the straps of the corset are squeezed out. Half of the room. Very tempting. The geisha was not exactly the same as what Jester had thought of before. It was not the kind of ancient brothel prostitutes he had thought of before, but a geisha, but geisha is a Japanese term. Koreans like to call it Jisheng.

In this era, plastic surgery was not popular in Korea, and the appearance of these actors was also extremely beautiful. They were obviously selected. When Jester was in Japan, he was invited to eat at a Japanese restaurant. There are also well-educated geishas as companions, but the Japanese pay too much attention to etiquette and are not as relaxed as the Koreans. And he still looked traditional, with thick foundation on his face, which made Jester's meal very uncomfortable.

How could the meal feel so comfortable now? Although it was far from the brothel wine he fantasized about, it was still passable.

All the beautiful actors sat on the right side of the guest. Jester saw the most beautiful one sitting next to him. He knew that this should be a special arrangement, but he was quite curious as to why they all sat on the right side. I guess there must be a reason for this.

Jester didn't hesitate and immediately asked what was the truth behind this.

The owner of this banquet, a Korean catering industry boss named Shen, immediately replied with a smile: Actually, this is also passed down from China, and only our most traditional banquet is still in use. This is because ancient scholars carried swords on the left side of the body, and the swordsmen served on the right side, so that the master could have his right hand free to draw it out to meet the enemy.

Hearing the other party's answer, Jester smiled awkwardly, but in the eyes of the other party, he was just a Chinese born in the United States. In terms of understanding of Chinese culture, he was inferior to even them. Only Jester knew , he is not a banana man who was born in the United States and knows nothing about China.

Jester's knowledge of Korean food may only be gold pickles and barbecue, and at most hot pot. But when the maids filed in one after another and presented the food, the richness of the dishes was really impressive. It made Jester click his tongue. Even though his family was well-educated, his grandfather was a famous Sichuan cuisine chef and knew many origins, but the richness and luxury of this meal were the only ones he had ever seen in his life.

Li Jianxi saw that the appetizers were almost served. Maybe he had the highest status among these people. After all, he was the future owner of the Samsung Consortium, so even though he was not the owner of the Jisheng Banquet, he still sat at the head seat, so He should also toast the first drink.

You won't come home until you're drunk.

Li Jianxi told him before that the tradition of the Jisheng Banquet is very simple, which means that you will never return until you are drunk. However, the meaning of the Jisheng Banquet is not the kind of drunkenness that you will never return after drinking heavily, because This kind of drinking method is too immodest, so the first dish of this banquet must be a dish that can form a protective film on the stomach.

This is just like Jester knows, some people like to drink a bottle of yogurt before drinking.

To be honest, this way of just sitting there without moving while someone feeds you bite by bite is quite uncomfortable for Jester. He considers himself not a hedonist. people.

The first dish used to make the base is a bowl of porridge made from ground pine nuts. It is as white as milk. A gentle sniff of it brings with it the fragrance of the pine forest.

After eating it, it was sticky, slippery and fragrant. The rosin in the mouth penetrated into the flesh and blood, making it extremely appetizing.

Jester has also heard that Korean pine nuts have been one of the tributes since ancient times. They are more fragrant than Japanese pine nuts, whiter and slender than Chinese pine nuts, and are known as immortal food. This was all information he had collected while making a piece of knowledge about cooking and cooking. He happened to be very interested in it, so he often took it out and looked through it, so he was quite familiar with these things.

At such a banquet, and they are all men, it is naturally impossible to talk about anything else. However, Jester is not interested in these dirty jokes, and this is the main companion Jester, so Li Jianxi and the others saw Jester did not participate in it, and they all fell silent.

Brother Li, this time your father...

These people are also from the top group in South Korea, and the news that the founder of Samsung Group is critically ill is not a secret in the industry. After all, these largest family businesses in South Korea will attract people at any time. The eyes of countless people.

The person who spoke was a man who was much younger than Li Jianxi, only in his thirties. Li Jianxi had previously introduced him to a company of the Zhao family. However, the Zhao family has a big business, and this young man was not affected by it. Chong only works in a trading company owned by the Zhao family, but he can ask this question so directly, and Li Jianxi does not change his color. Obviously, he has a good relationship with Li Jianxi.

However, it is not something that Li Jianxi can say that his father may not have much hope. It is very inappropriate for him to come to such a banquet when his father is seriously ill. This can also be used to accompany Jester. He used the excuse of a distinguished guest coming to eat, but if he said bad things about his father behind his back, even if it was true, it would have a very bad impact in the circle.

Lee Kun-hee, on the other hand, has always been shown as a filial son in South Korea's upper-class circles.

Therefore, Li Jianxi had a lonely look on his face, then shook his head and said in a tone that clearly didn't want to talk more: I can't talk more about my father's affairs, and I don't know much about it. , in recent times, apart from a few of my father’s confidants and doctors, the only one who can see him is Jace, and we, the children, and his former veterans, he has turned away.”

Hearing what Li Jianxi said, several people present immediately turned their attention to Jester.

At this moment, Jester's mouth was open, and the chef next to him was using a pair of silver chopsticks to pick up a medium-thick piece of wild ginseng, dipped it in wild honey, and fed it to his mouth.

Seeing someone looking at him, he just smiled after swallowing the food in his mouth. He looked at Li Jianxi from the corner of his eyes. Li Jianxi had no other expression on his face, but Jester still noticed from his smile Li knew what the other party meant, and these people present were obviously responsible for inquiring about the specific situation of Li Bingzhe for their families.

Haha. After laughing softly, Jester said, Everyone knows that Li Jianxi and I are familiar with each other. Mr. Li talked about something with me. The matter involved the secrets of Samsung Corporation and our Jester Holdings, so I can't say it, but everyone will know about this matter within a week at the latest. However, from Mr. Li's words, he is extremely concerned about the development of Samsung Trading during his illness in the past few years. Satisfied, especially with Samsung Electronics. This was his all-or-nothing investment choice after the Han Fei Incident. It can be said to be his last effort. And he is very satisfied with the achievements of Samsung Electronics overseas in recent years and will Selling Samsung products outside of South Korea is his biggest dream in life.

After Jester said this, several people present were speechless, and the way they looked at Li Jianxi was completely different.

Although Jester didn't say what they most wanted to know.

But what is said in this passage is enough.
