Chapter 544 The plan-1

" But sir-"

" It\'s fine; I will take it from here. Manager Kim, I am sorry for what you have to go through."

" Who are you?"

" We spoke on the phone? I am sorry we have to change the plan because you were being followed," Park explained about the men that Samuel placed for their protection. Kim didn\'t seem surprised; it was true that he knew about being followed for quite some time.

" You are saying that people had been stalking us on Mr Rothschild\'s orders? Are they following everyone?"

" It needed to be done; I believe you know about the dangers you guys encountered in Paris."

" But he said everything was over. I know he means well, but this is too much." Kim didn\'t sound happy about it.

" Sir, others will be here soon. We have taken a different route and were able to avoid raising any suspicion. Only a handful of people were following them, but not everyone was targeted. They were very keen on two individuals, the leader of the bands." One of the guards came in to deliver Park the latest update.

Park was surprised for a second; he didn\'t order any of this." Are you bringing them here? Did they agree or-"

" It\'s alright. Unlike someone, they were very sensible when they heard your name and your affiliation."

" Is that so? Good work." Park accepted it. If they did mention Samuel\'s name, he had nothing to say about it. The only problem was whether they believed them or were baiting them into a trap. He feared they could get arrested for kidnapping or something!

" Are you bringing others into this?"

lightsΝοvel.cοm " Everything will be explained once everyone gets together. We have a great plan; we just need you to cooperate."

Manager Kim didn\'t look pleased, but he decided to wait because he still had some trust in Samuel. If he sent someone on his behalf, that meant that person was competent enough to dig them out of this ditch.

" So what do you do really? Security work? You didn\'t give me anything on the phone." He struck up a conversation to really know who this person was.

" You don\'t know what I do? I can swear we met at a celebrity party a few months back." Park was baffled. This guy followed him without even knowing what he did? He thought he was famous already, but that didn\'t seem to be the case.

Park did have some connections, but he was not well-known in the upper echelons of the entertainment sector. This could be a good thing for now when he thought about it.

" I don\'t recall meeting you; it must have slipped my mind or something."

" Well, I am responsible for managing the Korean entertainment branch for Mr Rothschild. It\'s a medium-sized media corporation, Studio Dragon." Park said proudly.

" Dragon? Is that really the company\'s name?" Kim didn\'t have the best impression hearing the name.

" Why does everyone doubt it?" Park thought frustratingly, looking at his face, but he didn\'t say it out loud.

" Yes, we are set to release a new series in a few weeks and have started training a batch of idols. It will take a few years, but we will be in the big leagues by then!"

" Big leagues? Do you know anything about this sector? There won\'t be another big corporation anytime soon with how much the three of them have a chokehold on the industry."

" I know that is why I am here! To break their monopoly!" Park said it out loud for the first time. Samuel did talk about it, but he refused to believe that they could do it, but now they didn\'t have a choice.

They were clearly picking a fight with one of them by helping Kim and others. Sooner or later, they would notice the baby dragon lying in their backyard and try to suppress it as much as possible. He had to be ready for everything!

" If you say so." Kim wasn\'t keen on the idea. He had been in the industry for over a decade and knew very well how much connection one needed to even try to succeed here. From government to large media magnates, they required large amounts of capital just for them to turn a blind eye to their expansion.

The big three, as people called them, were all backed by large corporations that contributed millions of dollars to the Korean economy; they had free reign as long as there was no public backlash. They would never allow an outsider like Park to share the same juicy pie as them.

" You don\'t sound impressed." Park knew what he was thinking.

" I know Mr Samuel has a lot of money; he could probably survive for at least five years, but it will be a losing business. Once they got the scent of his money, they would first bleed him dry, and when he couldn\'t take the losses, they would discard him like trash." Kim paused to look for his reaction.

He thought Park would be mad, but he only smiled, hearing him disrespecting his boss. He continued without thinking too much about it, " That\'s the nature of this country; with so much power, even the government can\'t force this corporation to do anything here. Mr Samuel might be a big shot in Western countries, but this is Korea; there are powerful people here that no one can offend if they want to do business here."

He laid it out simply; Park nodded and knew he was telling the truth. He didn\'t know if his boss could really set a foothold here, but for some reason, he had the utmost belief in him! As they were talking, a few more people entered the room.

Finally, everyone important for the plan was here; Park motioned everyone to sit down and began telling them what the plan was!
