The 29th of July was destined to be a day of great significance to Tang Jinyan.
T-ara, who had been hesitating for four whole years, finally reached the peak of success on the anniversary of its debut.
The great ambition of Tang Jinyan, who had led a group of brothers to conquer the underworld since his youth, also came to an end on this day.
Cool Tang Entertainment City officially opened for business.
Yes, it was also named Tang Entertainment City. Tang Jinyan was gradually moving closer to the goal of Tang Empire. At this moment, no one cared about things like trademark rights.
The so-called entertainment city included casinos, nightclubs, and leisure centers. It was a comprehensive entertainment club.
CJ Entertainment and New Village Entertainment had all kinds of unknown male and female artists faintly entering and exiting. They were only there to accompany gambling, which made the other entertainment cities look like they were not on the same level.
"In the end, I still became a sex trafficker."
Tang Jinyan was very depressed. After being in the underworld for so many years, he had never personally done this kind of business. He felt that it was too low class.
Now that he was in the upper class, he was doing it openly.
However, there was no other way. The supply and demand relationship was there. Everyone knew what rich people wanted here. If there were only ordinary male and female dealers, they would not be able to raise the level.
Fortunately, the person in charge was Takeshi Tamazawa. He was very happy with this kind of thing.
Due to the nature of this kind of entertainment city, Tang Jinyan did not invite familiar idols to perform like Tang Entertainment did. Otherwise, it would easily make people think of bad things.
Therefore, the commercial performances were all male bands. There was not a single female band.
Of course, if EXO was a female band, most people would not feel that there was anything wrong …
During the opening ceremony of the casino, Tang Jinyan still did not show up. He hid in the office on the top floor and overlooked the whole situation.
Both inside and outside the hall, the newly integrated New Village Entertainment Group's brains gathered. A sea of black suits looked very intimidating.
In these people's hearts, this place was the real headquarters of the New Village Entertainment Group. As for the New Village Group, it had become the fulcrum of the New Village Entertainment Group.
The branches were luxuriant, and the climate was ripe.
No matter how unwilling some people in the National Assembly were to admit it, they knew that a powerful underground organization had formed in Seoul, and it was strong enough to threaten many people's ruling positions.
However, Tang Jinyan continued to move forward step by step. None of his steps could be stopped. By this point, it was no longer easy to stop him.
In the whole of South Korea, the biggest underworld force was neither the Shinchon Faction nor the Pan-Western Faction. It was not based in Seoul, but in Pusan.
The Seven Stars are the most representative of South Korea's underworld. Even if they can't influence Seoul, it doesn't mean that they are weak.
In fact, Pusan, with its high mountains far away from the Emperor and its valiant folk customs, was the breeding ground for the underworld. It was similar to how the Yamaguchi-gumi's base was not in Tokyo but in Kobe.
If one had to find a mafia-like organization in Korea that was closest to the Yamaguchi-gumi, it would have to be the Seven Stars.
But unknowingly, the Seven Stars' influence was no longer comparable to the New Village Party.
It was not that Pusan did not try to stop Tang Jinyan, but it was difficult for them to do so. They could only watch helplessly as Tang Jinyan's influence grew to the point where even the court officials were afraid of him.
The biggest reason why they could not do anything was because Kim Jong-un openly supported Tang Jinyan.
From another perspective, this was another underground battlefield between Kim Jong-un's faction and Moon Jae-in's faction.
Tang Jinyan was very calm. He never thought that his success was due to his high standards.
Due to fate, the government, the chaebols, the underworld, and even the situation in South Korea, he had unknowingly become a very strange point. He was a hero created by the times.
Even now, Tang Jinyan did not think that he had any credit for T-ara's success. It was due to their own accumulation.
But others did not think so.
Everyone, including Li Jianxi, who had mocked and ridiculed Tang Jinyan, actually had a consensus that Tang Jinyan was an outstanding talent.
Lee Jae-yong was now very hesitant.
He had a premonition that one day, Tang Jinyan's business would be related to Samsung. When that time came, what attitude should he take to face it? Should he cooperate or something else … He originally thought that this day would not come so soon, but now there was news that Tang Jinyan and Samsung's intersection was close at hand.
Most people did not know that Tang Jinyan was making a mobile game, but Lee Jae-yong had his own channels to find out.
Mobile game, Android, Samsung.
He knew the connection even with his eyes closed.
Of course, a small matter like an Android application could be decided by the small business managers of both parties. It did not involve the so-called relationship between Tang Jinyan and Samsung.
But Lee Jae-yong was very suspicious. Such a person's every move could have a deeper meaning. Did Tang Jinyan want to make a mobile game to test Samsung's attitude?
Logically speaking, Lee Jae-yong also felt that it was a good choice to be on good terms with Tang Jinyan. Whether Lee Yoon-rim was willing to return to the family was another matter, but what was wrong with letting them fall in love?
Back then, he felt that it would be embarrassing for the Lee family's daughter to be with a hooligan, so he forced her to be a man. But now, it was different. Tan Chen was a woman. Who in the world would fart?
But his father had been indifferent. He had no right to make a decision on such matters.
His father always felt that Tang Jinyan was still lacking something.
Lee Jae-yong also knew that Tang Jinyan was still lacking something. At present, Tang Jinyan was still too dependent on THAAP. Once THAAP wanted to fall out, Tang Jinyan would have a hard time.
And Tang Jinyan obviously knew a lot of things about THAAP that could not be revealed. If they fell out, it would be fatal. If the Lee family was involved, the situation would be more complicated. It might even cause them to fall out because they were close to the Lee family.
Lee Jae-yong had made all kinds of deductions. He knew that his father was very cautious for the family.
"Let's wait and see."
Lee Jae-yong stood by the office window and looked in the direction of the cool breeze. He muttered to himself, "Let's see if he will forget himself when he stands at the peak of the underworld."

"Mr. Smith heard that you have already set up two large casinos and expressed interest."
Lee Yoon-rim was on the phone with Tang Jinyan. "He said that he has always underestimated our strength and will reconsider the cooperation plan."
Tang Jinyan smiled and said, "It's not that he underestimated us. We have never had much strength. Even now, we can't use excessive violence."
Lee Yoon-rim said, "I'm relieved to hear that you are still so calm."
"Have I ever not been calm?"
"Yes, when you pressed her against the windowsill and stuck her in."
"… I was also very calm at that time." Tang Jinyan muttered, "Otherwise, something would have been broken."
"I'll let you break it when we get back, okay?"
"We'll talk about it when we get back."
"We're almost done here.
Mr. Smith said that some things can only be decided after visiting Korea. "
"You're very welcome." Tang Jinyan smiled and said, "After working together for so long, the two big brothers have never met each other. It's really strange."
"At first, they thought it was just a small business. Now, they feel that it has a different meaning."
"Mm."
Lee Yoon-rim said again, "Is there any news from Japan?
Do you need me to go there?
That Yi Zhi is not reliable. She might be in some custom shop and forget to go back. "
Tang Jinyan sweated. "That's not necessary.
Rest well when you come back. I can't bear for you to run around again. "
Lee Yoon-rim was very happy to hear that. She talked about something else before happily hanging up the phone.
Tang Jinyan had just stuffed his phone back into his pocket. The smile on his face had not disappeared when his phone rang again. He picked it up and saw that it was Yi Zhi.
"What did Japan say?"
"Inoue-kun heard that we have integrated the Seoul underworld and wants to discuss something important with us."
Tang Jinyan was stunned. "What is it?"
Yi Zhi lowered her voice. "He didn't tell me everything. I think he wants our help, in terms of force."
Tang Jinyan's pupils constricted, and his smile slowly disappeared.
