Domination in America, Starting from being a Boxing Champion-Chapter 765 - 555 Oscars

In early January, there was also the Grammy Awards, but Link did not attend. He visited Asia after the Golden Globes and stayed in Seoul for a few days.

Mainly, he was dealing with business matters of Big Hit Entertainment and 'J&Baker Entertainment.'

After three to four years of development, Big Hit now has over ten artists on its roster including singers, actors, and groups, among which 2AM and BTS are both doing well. One is a popular boy group and the other is an emerging boy band. Other artists are also doing well.

Big Hit's market value has grown from an initial 2-3 million US dollars to 16 million US dollars, with Link owning 41% of the company's shares.

As for J&Baker Entertainment, they have earned over 20 million US dollars through investments in films "The Thieves," "Berlin," and "New World."

Also, the TV series "My Love from the Star," in which Jun Ji-hyun invested and starred, was a hit in South Korea with the highest rating of 28.1%, ranking first in Korea's 2013 mini-series and achieving astonishing results in other Asian countries and regions, with initial earnings exceeding 60 million US dollars.

J&Baker also participated in the investment of the Lionsgate Films-produced "Snowpiercer."

The movie tells the story of the 'dictator' Wilford who developed a train with a perpetual engine, equipped with a variety of complete facilities. Over seventeen years, he built his own independent ecosystem on the train, cycling through a lengthy 438,000-kilometer journey.

At the back of the train lives a group of oppressed lower-class people who have initiated several riots to fight for freedom and power, but all have ended in failure without exception.

This time, Curtis, who has a leadership quality, finds the imprisoned security system designer Nangong Minxiu and uses him to unlock the gates to the first carriage in order to overthrow Wilford's rule.

The film is a South Korea-United States co-production.

The director is Bong Joon-ho, who directed films such as "The Host" and "Memories of Murder," and stars Chris Evans, Song Kang-ho, Ed Harris, Jun Ji-hyun, and others.

The movie was released in South Korea in October of last year, earning a cumulative box office of 63.37 million US dollars, with foreign box office around 33.09 million US dollars.

In the North American Region, it was distributed by Lionsgate Films. There was no release slot at the end of last year, so it was scheduled for a January release, earning 4.47 million US dollars in the first week from 1,202 cinemas—not high, but not low either.

The movie was funded with 38 million US dollars and has already broken even.

J&Baker also made millions of US dollars from this investment.

Now that the company is flush with cash, Jun Ji-hyun came to him to discuss investment opportunities. Link did not have any extra advice on this matter, but he brought in three investment advisors from Goldbeck Investment Company to help with the company's long-term planning.

During his stay in Seoul, aside from business talks, Link spent the remaining time at the villa with Jun Ji-hyun and Taeyeon. Originally, his dates with the two were conducted separately.

Later, he found it too troublesome and started to invite both to meet together. If they both accepted, he would continue this relationship; if not, they could part ways and remain purely business partners.

Jun Ji-hyun and Taeyeon were both aware of each other's existence and accepted this arrangement.

During the time they lived together in the villa, both maintained a polite attitude, addressing each other as sisters.

Link also spent a few pleasant days in this threesome setting.

The only thing that bothered him was that both women wanted to have children.

Especially Jun Ji-hyun, who is 33 this year and not getting any younger, wishes to have his child sooner.

Link did not refuse, and provided special care for her every time they made love.

Taeyeon was somewhat lovestruck and very accommodating to him, with no particular conditions, she just hoped he would spend more time with her when possible.

Link also tried his best to satisfy her request, even joining her for several private meals with Girls' Generation and becoming the group's 'brother-in-law.'

At the end of January is the Huaxia New Year.

Link flew to Capital City the week before New Year, spending it with Chris Liu, Shu Chang, and their two children. He had been busy with work throughout the past year and had only seen his children three times on Hong Kong Island.

As a result, Shu Nan didn't recognize him and wouldn't call him dad, and Liu Jianni, who was nearly one year old, had grown cuter and even more beautiful than her mother.

While accompanying his children in Capital City, he also took time to handle some corporate affairs.

After multiple rounds of additional investment, the Golden Shell investment on Hong Kong Island has become a shareholder in many large corporations, holding 11.6% of Wanda Film Industry shares, 5.36% of BYD Auto, 5.1% of JD Shares, and has increased its Maotai Shares to 0.45% and Ali investment shares to 0.22%, as well as owning shares in Dolphin Bay Entertainment Company and Jiadianxia Property Management Company.

Last year, all those companies had good development, with Wanda Film Industry initiating a new round of expansion, owning 149 cinemas in over 70 cities in Huaxia, 1247 screens among which are 89 IMAX screens, coupled with good box office results from Wanda Film Industry's movies last year.

Its total market value has grown from around 8.5 billion to about 14 billion yuan.

BYD Auto's market value has also surpassed the 100 billion yuan mark at the beginning of this year, currently at 102.2 billion yuan, while Link's shares have grown more than threefold in just three short years since he acquired them for 33.4 billion yuan in 2011.

JD.com, after a Series C funding round at the end of last year, has a current market value of 18 billion US dollars and is planning to go public in the United States within the year.

Meanwhile, Maotai Shares have seen a larger decline this year than in the previous couple of years. In August 2012, the total market value reached as high as 262 billion yuan, but now it's only 128.7 billion yuan.

Ali is also planning to go public in the United States this year, with a current total market value of about 140 billion US dollars.

Additionally, the twenty-plus luxurious apartments, siheyuans, and villas managed by Jiadianxia Property are now valued at over 5 billion yuan in total.

Yang Dami, who is managing Dolphin Bay Entertainment, saw good development over the past two years with the company signing over ten artists. Last year's investment income from TV shows and movies was as high as 35 million, with a market value of about 1 billion yuan.
