Chapter 130: The Loser (Part II)
PS: Congratulations to your good friends in July, only love to become the leader of the alliance!
After the continuous rainstorm, the construction site on the riverside began again, the site was a little messy, the bare dirt floor was potholes and potholes, workers and cars transporting building materials passed over it, mud splashed, and the roar of the mixer sounded.
On the other side of the line, the first phase of the completed No. 1 building, behind the transparent and clean glass door, the floor is bright, and the hall and corridor are bright, and the staff is busy.
A line separates each other, as if there are two worlds.
Located on the top floor, in Ahn Junhyuk's office, the heavy walls and sound-absorbing materials make it impossible for the noise of the outside world to come here, only a slight movement occasionally sounds, and the curtain of the huge floor-to-ceiling window in the office is closed, the sky light cannot penetrate, and the indoor light is dim.
A trace of smoke swirled in the dimness, and the quiet atmosphere wafted, and at a certain moment, Kwon Bo-geun, who was sitting on the sofa, snuffed out the cigarette butt irritably: "The plan has come to this point, and it seems that you can defeat SKT, successfully enter the Pan-Thai market, and snatch YMB Seoul Records...... Now that everything is in vain, how the hell do those politicians have long heads?
In the past, give him a few more dares, and he didn't dare to say anything like that.
But now is different from the past, as an executive of J.H Music, his identity has also risen as J.H Music has become the leader of the industry.
A few steps away, Park Yingjun, who was also smoking a cigarette silently. Wen Yan also frowned: "Yes, Junhyuk, there is no other way?"
"It's useless to say anything now, the government's attitude is clear. Ahn Joon-hyuk, the only one who didn't smoke, sat behind his desk, and the haze of the floor-to-ceiling windows with his back shrouded his figure in a layer of darkness, falling on the eyes of the two, and only a vague outline could be seen, "Roh Moo-hyun called me over. Say hello to us in advance. It's a matter of benevolence and righteousness, so let's leave this matter at that!"
"So, we failed?"
Fail......
Who are the losers?
Ahn Joon-hyuk didn't know much about this question. Maybe SKT is a loser. Because it uses a contract machine to bundle the Melon application. Attempts to dominate the mobile music market have been dashed. Once the Melon download interface of the contract machine is opened, CJ.E&M's Mnet, J.H Music's Bugs and other online music platforms. You can borrow Melon to get a share of the mobile music pie through various promotional means - especially J.H Music's Bugs, which has a set of trend-setting peripheral systems that can lead the trend in today's J.H, SM, YG union, Ahn Joon-hyuk himself, Boa, TVXQ, SJ, and the upcoming debut Bigbang, which can greatly help Bugs expand its digital value-added business - this market is expected to reach an output value of 400 billion won this year.
Because the profits are so high, SKT sees it as the core of its future digital entertainment empire, which is determined by the current technological development of mobile networks.
However, J.H. also failed.
Ahn Joon-hyuk's ambition to build a digital platform entirely controlled by J.H Music in one step thwarted by the government. Acquired record companies, copyrights, sniped the stock market, burned nearly $300 million before and after, and finally did not complete de facto control of digital music content. Although with the resources at his disposal, he can still enter mobile music and share in this rich cake, but compared with the original ambition of at least 40% of the plan, it is now far from the ambition of having at least 40% of the plan.
But if you look at it from another angle, the loser can barely be called a success.
Some media speculations are not wrong, if there is no government mediation, the next step, Ahn Jun Hyuk will start the battle for the power of attorney. After several days of sniping in the secondary market, the market value of Fantai has shrunk to the psychological bottom line of many shareholders, and the only obstacle to J.H Entertainment's acquisition of Fantai is the management that has the support of SK and the stubborn resistance. But they can't last long, once J.H Entertainment contacts the shareholders and obtains the shareholders' approval with a suitable secret offer, it can naturally get a large number of entrustments, and then convene a general meeting of shareholders to re-elect the board of directors, sweeping away this most obstacle-this point, but SK can't do it, things have developed to such a point that it can only watch everything evolve powerlessly, once it tries to control the equity, the whole Pan Thai will be ruined, and that kind of loss is something they can't afford.
However, the government's mediation saved them from the abyss of despair, and at least now, SKT no longer has to worry about sleeping next to his couch with a fierce tiger in his eyes.
The Roh Moo-hyun administration was also successful.
Ahn Jun-hyuk, who was half-lying on the back of the chair, crossed his hands in front of him, and slightly blocked his chin, his eyes flickered.
From the very beginning, he understood that if his J.H. and SKT got into a fight, the Roh Moo-hyun government would never let go of this opportunity.
Roh Moo-hyun came to power in 03, and it has been 3 years since then, but his political ideas and his former campaign manifesto have not been realized much. He once announced to the world that he would inherit the political ideas of Kim Yong-sam and Kim Dae-jung and promote the peaceful reunification of the peninsula, and he also tried to do so, but he only wanted to repeal the "National Security Law" (a law with the characteristics of the Celestial Empire, mainly used to punish individuals and groups that the government deems to be sympathetic to and help the Socialist Workers) and ease inter-Korean relations, which led to 100,000 protests by the majority of the party and civil society groups in the country, and was almost impeached.
He had promised the people that he would reform the chaebol economy, but over the years, he had nowhere to do with the chaebol.
As the time for the re-election draws closer, Roh Moo-hyun's support within the party is getting lower and lower, and if he does not want to step down and be liquidated, he must push his political ideas to the end, strive to expand the liberal lineup, and completely defeat the conservatives (Grand National Party) in the National Assembly.
At such times, Roh Moo-hyun will seize every opportunity that can force the chaebol to compromise.
Two months ago, Hyundai Motor Group Chairman Jung Mong-gu was imprisoned. If Ahn Jun-hyuk's expectations are correct, I am afraid that after the first trial, Jung Mong-gu will be released soon, and as a quid pro quo, some political compromises and concessions are the right thing to do.
And now, taking the opportunity of his attack on SKT, the Choi family also fell into Roh Moo-hyun's chessboard.
At this point, just look at Choi Tae-won before he met Roh Moo-hyun, he had agreed to meet J.H. here. Hold talks between the two sides. You can see it.
"In order to keep Pan Tai, Choi Tae-won is really painstaking!" A sneer twitched at the corner of his mouth, and Ahn Jun-hyuk shook his head slightly.
Before sniping Pan Tai, the reason why he had a rare hesitation. It's because I can't grasp the direction of the wind. He knew that Roh Moo-hyun was under his attention. J.H Entertainment is destined not to get Pantai. The silence of those institutions is Roh Moo-hyun's reaction to wait and see, and it can't be. He has nothing to lose, and if he does, he will get a new boost in politics for the time being!
He is like a cunning predator, quietly waiting for the opportunity for SK to take the initiative to enter the urn.
And J.H is just a chess piece for him to achieve his goal, maybe the power of this chess piece is a little beyond his control - others don't know what to do, but Ahn Jun-hyuk understands that in the later stage of the litigation war, the Securities Regulatory Commission broke the deadlock and accepted the case of SidusHQ president Jung Hoon-tuo's illegal profit-making, most of which was instructed by Roh Moo-hyun, and the other party was probably afraid that J.H would not be able to support it, so he used the temporary judicial victory to give some help.
It's just that Roh Moo-hyun wouldn't have thought that the little J.H, through a pedestrian street plan, would stir up so much wind and rain.
But in any case, after all, he still became a pawn!
Being manipulated like this, every time I walk out of the city, I feel like a puppet, and there is a faint feeling of a thread behind me, which makes people very unhappy.
“…… That's it for now, right now, I can't be a chess player, but ......"
In a faint thought, Ahn Joon-hyuk leaned back a little again, and the smoke was shrouded, and the darkness was enveloped, and darkness followed......
……
The changes in the world always make onlookers who do not know the truth dizzy.
Following the outbreak of the relevant government departments on the 30th, J.H and SKT, who were fighting in a mess and fighting inseparably, dragged down the battlefield, picked up the board, and the big 50 boards, as July passed, and on the first day of August, another explosive news appeared on major websites and newspaper headlines.
"JoongAng Ilbo" political and economic comprehensive page - "Blue House Terminal spokesman announced today that J.H Entertainment and SK Telecom will start reconciliation talks from today, accompanied by some officials of the presidential office, which is the first time that the two companies have reconciled the conflict issue after a two-month-long confrontation initiated by the Roh Moo-hyun government, the spokesman said, this is an important concession made by the two companies for market stability and economic development. ”
The spokesperson of the Blue House said that J.H Entertainment and SKT are both important promoters of the development of the cultural industry in the Republic of Korea, and they should cooperate more widely and more closely to confront each other against the principles of competition that are not conducive to harmony and health, and the president has high hopes for this mediation and reconciliation. J.H Entertainment Ahn Joon-hyuk spoke on the same day, saying that he would obey the mediation of the Blue House, and SK Chey Tae-won also said that he would set an example for the company's healthy competitive relationship!
On August 3, J.H. Entertainment negotiator Ahn Joon-hyuk and SK negotiator Chey Tae-won were received by the president at the Blue House, and the Blue House held a press conference on the same day to announce the start of reconciliation talks between the two sides.
The weather was very good, and the afternoon sunshine was as hot as the atmosphere of the small hall of the Blue House, where countless reporters gathered to form a group of microphones with various labels for finance, politics, and entertainment.
When the officials accompanying him from the Blue House walked to the rostrum of the press conference, Ahn Jun-hyuk met Choi Tae-won up close for the first time.
From the physiognomy, it can be seen that the round face of the Cui family is in the same vein, a little rich, but it also looks energetic.
When the two walked to the center of the rostrum and shook hands with each other, Choi Tae-won smiled and said: "Ahn Jun Hyukxi, I have been friends for a long time, and the development of J.H is really shocking, and I haven't thanked you for teaching me a lesson this time!"
"You've won a prize. Wearing flat glasses, Ahn Junhyuk smiled: "Please take care of me in the future!"
As he spoke, a young and an old hand clasped together, and under the stage, the flash whistled on, freezing the picture. (To be continued......)
