CHAPTER XXIV

Late at night, Ahn Joon-hyuk returned to his villa in Shizuoka, accompanied by Won Sung and Kwon Bo-geun.

The villa standing quietly on the mountain, and looking down on the city below in the dark, the faint outline of the forest, extending out under the dazzling sky, the villa only the light in the living room is still on, the nanny Sachiko helped open the door, and made tea for Ahn Junhyuk, Won Sung and Kwon Bo Gen sleepily, before going back to the room to rest at Ahn Junhyuk's request, it was about two o'clock in the morning.

Ahn Jun-hyuk went upstairs to take a look, only the corridor light extended into the master bedroom, Lin Xiujing fell asleep quietly, I don't know what she dreamed of, and her brows frowned slightly. Next to the big bed, in the small cradle, Jingyan, who was sleeping soundly, twitched his hands and feet from time to time, making him laugh.

After changing out of the formal clothes on his body, and then returning downstairs, Quan Baogen and Che Yuancheng were holding tea cups in the living room, talking in a low voice.

Today, the two of them accompanied the whole process, and they were probably very tired, especially Yuan Cheng, who had been in charge of driving and had never rested, and his eyes were already bloodshot at this time.

"Won-sung go to sleep first!" Ahn Jun-hyuk took the teacup handed by Kwon Bo-gen, took a small sip, refreshed himself a little, and said. There are still spare rooms in the villa, after Yun'er came, it was originally for her to live, but she hasn't rested in it once these days, since she came back from the hospital with Xiujing, Yun'er has lived in Zhixiu's room, and now she is naturally idle.

Yuan Cheng knew that he still had to drive today, but he was not reluctant, nodded, said good night and went to rest.

"Uncle Baogen will work a little longer, and it will be fine soon. ”

"It's okay, I'm used to it. I'm an old bone, I have to rust if I don't move much. Although he was very sleepy, Quan Baogen didn't care at all. It's strange to say, he has been sitting in the office for more than ten years, thinking that his passion for work has long been worn out, in any case, he didn't expect that the older he is now, the more energetic he is, and a few years ago, the life of running until midnight was unimaginable.

Ultimately. No matter what you do. People have to be motivated.

Squatting in the office is certainly leisurely, but that kind of life is like a grinding plate, two points and one line, and gradually grinding away ambition. Today, J.H. is full of energy. I am fortunate to be a veteran. Since Ahn Joon-hyuk made the music department independent and decentralized, he became the CEO of J.H Music Representative. The mind also began to change slowly.

Recalling a year ago, Ahn Jun-hyuk flew solo from S.M, with external boos, and the daily newspapers were singing about decline, and the internal response was negative, and the newly formed company was either the old, weak, sick and disabled that S.M packed and threw over, or the layman who came to apply for the job with the idea of messing around, and it was very difficult for the organization to operate normally, and the future was simply bleak. At that time, I thought that it would be enough to follow Ahn Junhyuk for a few more years, and fight his old face to help him stand firm in the entertainment industry, after all, I got along day and night for two years, and watched him fade away from his youth and show his majesty, and finally had feelings.

By now, the idea of "letting go of the road" has long faded, and seeing Ahn Junhyuk's career getting bigger and bigger, who doesn't want to work hard in the new group like him?

It's hard work, but it's a trivial matter.

Thoughts flew for a moment, Kwon Bo Geun quickly pulled his attention back, and looked at Ahn Jun Hyuk, who was slowly drinking tea, but Kwon Bo Geun knew that this young man who created the prototype of J.H Group has always been a workaholic, even if his expression is relaxed, there is always a storm brewing in his brain, and he highly values efficiency.

So he didn't waste any more time, took another sip of tea, opened the briefcase, and went straight to work: "You have an interview today, which is an invitation from Fortune Asia, and the relevant conditions have been negotiated. In terms of corporate affairs, the corresponding work of J.H Entertainment Japan Branch has been prepared, do you think you will take the time to make a round? This is the company's first official multinational branch, and it is in need of a morale boost. ”

Speaking of this, Kwon Bo-geun paused, waited for a while but didn't wait for an answer, he raised his head, and what he saw was Ahn Jun-hyuk's thoughtful expression.

…… What's wrong?

Strangely, on the other side, Ahn Junhyuk, who seemed to notice his gaze, focused his eyes with a little sloppy, looked at him, and asked in a somewhat erratic voice: "Uncle Baogen, how much do you know about Howard Stringer?"

Quan Baogen was stunned for a moment, probably didn't expect him to be distracted all the time, but he sorted out his thoughts as soon as possible, and said: "I don't know much, it's all the surface of hearsay." ”

For more than a month, he has been dealing with Sony, although it is only Sony Music's Tokyo company, but the basic intelligence gathering and analysis of the main leaders of the other side is a routine negotiation procedure, and Howard Stringer, as the CEO of Sony, is naturally among the intelligence gatherers.

Ahn Jun-hyuk didn't care about his so-called "hearsay" statement, nodded when he heard the words, and then was silent for a moment before asking, "Tell me what you think of this person." ”

"Uh......" Kwon Bo Geun was stunned, and then suddenly remembered that at night, Ahn Jun Hyuk went to Kazuo Hirai for a private invitation, and he didn't follow him at the time, he originally thought it was just a very ordinary sharing dinner to contact feelings, but now it seems that it is not.

This thought suddenly complicated his thoughts, and he swallowed back the evaluation that he was going to say casually, and while thinking carefully, Ahn Junhyuk asked, what does it mean?

While organizing the language, he said slowly: "I have not been in contact with this person, and my limited understanding is all from the media, at least from the media reports, he is very smart. ”

"Oh, in what way?"

Fortunately, Quan Baogen has done a little homework, but at this time he will not be dumbfounded by the question: "It is mainly reflected in the management strategy." He tried to recall what he had seen in some newspapers and magazines, and the management style shown in Stringer's resume, "This man is very good at breaking through obstacles through throttling, especially in personnel management, he knows how to give full play to his talent in this area, concentrate and integrate limited resources, unite the front as quickly as possible, and avoid internal fragmentation of political forces. ”

There was no lack of admiration in Kwon Bo-gen's words, which made Ahn Jun-hyuk a little surprised, and looked at the other party, "You have a high opinion of him!"

"Hehe, probably because I do a lot of administrative work, professional habits. ”

Ahn Jun Hyuk also smiled, immediately waved his hand, and pondered again, Kwon Bo Geun immediately stopped laughing and returned to quiet, and after a while, he heard Ahn Jun Hyuk muttering to himself: "At dinner, Stringer invited me through Kazuo Hirai and wanted to meet me......"

Kwon Bo-geun didn't interject, he knew that Ahn Jun-hyuk didn't say it to show off or something, it was more just a simple narrative, hoping that someone would listen to his thoughts.

Sure enough, he heard Ahn Jun-hyuk sigh: "I can probably guess what Stringer wants to see me...... Do you think he's really Sony's hope?"

Isn't it?

Quan Baogen frowned suspiciously, since Stringer took office, not only the reformers and investors inside Sony have high hopes for him, but even the outside is quite optimistic, because the reason why Sony is currently in prison is obvious - the institution is bloated, and it has lost its flexibility to market changes, and the task of "weight loss expert" Stringer is to perform a slimming operation on this big fat man, and everyone believes that once Sony loses weight, its technical advantages will support its rapid rise.

Kwon Bo-geun also holds the same opinion, he used to think that Ahn Jun-hyuk also has a similar view, otherwise, why has he been trying to cooperate with Sony? (To be continued......
