Chapter 128: Laying the Foundation
PS: I'm always afraid to write too much about these plots, I'm afraid that you will find it boring...... In addition, when I got home at night, the author who only learned about the death of the Tao from the V group was actually a book friend, so if you have time, please go and pay respects!
In the afternoon, an emergency meeting of the management is held, and the ministers and above, who can be notified are all coming, and if they can't come, there will be a record after the meeting and the decisions produced by the meeting will be conveyed to the past.
Ahn Jun-hyuk looked at the water glass in front of him, Li Xiuman's movements were more vigorous than he realized, once he made a decision, he immediately used his power to convene an emergency meeting, without giving others half time to react.
At the huge oval conference table, there are still a few seats that should be vacant, that is a few ministers who have just gone out to do business in the last two days, and 2 directors just went abroad yesterday, and the selection of trainees in overseas departments is about to start again, which is the only activity that the company currently has to expand its popularity in overseas countries, and there is an urgent need to seconded experienced senior management to preside over negotiations and a series of affairs, it is impossible to rush back immediately, and it is not convenient to conduct a conference call.
This means that for any issue raised by Li Xiuman today, there will be two automatic abstentions from the votes of the board of directors during the voting process!
Ahn Jun-hyuk doesn't think that the two voluntary abstentions will be unfavorable to Lee so-man, and the timing of the meeting at this time speaks to some problems.
Leaning back, he looked up, and what he saw was the blackened face of the previous leader, Kim Young-min.
At the beginning of the meeting, Lee so-man affirmed the theme - to discuss Ahn Joon-hyuk's contract renewal. And forwarded some documents, which were draft agreements that Ahn Joon-hyuk handed him when he met him at a café late last month. There is not much content in it, and the acting contract part basically copies the conditions put forward by Lee so-man when Ahn Jun-hyuk had a conflict with the company a few months ago.
About 2/8 of the performance of the record, about 3/7 of the advertising, the cost of attending commercial performances, announcements, etc., is completely owned by Ahn Junhyuk, etc.
these conditions. The Board of Governors agreed to do so a few months ago. When I saw it again at this time, of course, there were not many surprises.
The only difference is that a clause has been added at the end of the most - Ahn Junhyuk is allowed to set up his own studio and enjoy greater freedom.
The atmosphere in the conference room was depressing for a while. Kim Young-min gulped down water. seems to hope to suppress the anger and depression in my heart. A few directors who are usually separated from the two of them changed their eyes and pretended to be stupid.
We've been working together for so long. They all know who the two directors who are absent usually go closer, and Lee so-man suddenly held an emergency meeting at such a moment, making it clear that he was on guard against Kim Young-min, and the two giants started fighting again, at this time, Ahn Jun-hyuk's renewal clause, which can usually cause fierce resistance from the board of directors, is not so important.
The air flowed quietly, and at a certain moment, a director who was a relatively big addict to cigarettes couldn't help but light a cigarette, and the choking smell seemed to arouse the sorrow of the others, and one by one they picked up the cigarette rolls, and in a short time, the whole room was shrouded in smoke.
The frequency of the air conditioner could not disperse the smoke at all, and several female managers couldn't help coughing.
It wasn't until Ahn Joon-hyuk beckoned a meeting recorder to open the window that the air was slightly better, but the temperature became muggy again, and the heat pouring in from the window brought a hint of anxiety to the oppressive atmosphere.
I don't know how long it took, Jin Yingmin couldn't bear it anymore, and put down the cup in his hand heavily: "The last one, I don't agree!"
With his speech, several directors who have been observing words and expressions have also expressed their attitudes, believing that the last clause completely harms the interests of the company, among which a director named Jiang Chengshi reacted the most violently: " Allowing artists to set up studios is tantamount to allowing them to break away from the company's management to a certain extent, which is not in line with the company's existing policies and long-term layout. Today we can agree that one artist will leave the company, and tomorrow another will do the same, and everyone in the world will not suffer from inequality, which will undoubtedly lead the company into a series of turmoil, and waste resources on stabilizing internal problems...... Of course, Director An, I am saying these things truthfully, not against you, and I hope you can understand. ”
After saying the most talking, Kang Sung-seok nodded to Ahn Jun-hyuk and said quite sincerely.
"Hehe, it's okay!" Ahn Jun-hyuk quietly turned the silver ring on his little finger and looked at the other party with a smile.
It really doesn't seem to be angry at all.
His reaction was obviously beyond Director Jiang Chengshi's expectations, Jiang Chengshi's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise, and then disappeared, and continued to talk eloquently: "Director Xie Lu, Director Xie An's understanding, Director Li Xiuman, can you tell me why you want to join this article in Director An's renewal conditions?"
"This is to reward Mr. Ahn Joon-hyuk for his contribution to the company over such a long period of time. Li Xiu replied expressionlessly.
Jiang Chengshi sneered over there, and was about to say something, when he saw Li Xiuman take out another document: "At the same time, it is also to reduce the burden of Director An on the work......" As he spoke, he handed the document to An Junhyuk.
Looking at the familiar white cover, turning the title page, and glancing at the top of the transfer agreement, Ahn Jun-hyuk smiled.
The other party will really choose the timing, and this time, the board of directors is afraid that he will be caught off guard by this blow and be in a hurry.
Thinking about it, Ahn Jun-hyuk, who understood what Lee so-man meant, picked up the pen and signed his name page by page.
In the conference room at this moment, the silence was so quiet that it could be heard, only the rustle of Ahn Junhyuk's signature echoed in people's ears, and dozens of eyes kept wandering back and forth between him and Lee so-man, guessing what document he signed, and whether the last clause of Lee so-man's contract renewal issue represented any private deal between the two.
Their suspicious speculation didn't last long.
When Ahn Jun-hyuk finished signing and handed the document back to Lee so-man, the well-known cold-faced "tyrant", with a rare fluctuation in his expression, opened the document and looked at it, and then raised his head and glanced at a circle of directors and ministers with different expressions, and announced in a calm and solemn voice:
"From today onwards, Mr. Ahn Jun Hyuk will entrust me with the power to exercise 10% of the shares in his hands!"
The room was stunned!
Originally, because of Jiang Chengshi's sharp rebuttal, Kim Youngmin's expression was slightly relaxed, suddenly turned his head and stared at Ahn Junhyuk and Lee so-man, and the people who had just echoed the "opposition" with him were also ugly, especially Jiang Chengshi, whose face was almost iron-blue.
Each of them represents some shareholders behind them, and they may not have any equity in their hands, but although 10% of the shares are quite heavy in their eyes, they are not important enough to make them change color, and the reason why the reaction is so fierce is because the 10% equity falls into the hands of Li Xiuman.
The interest group represented by Kim Young-min is the most concentrated part of the company, and they have long been eager to go deeper, More complete control of SM, but Lee so-man has been fighting against them over the years, so that their actions have been repeatedly frustrated, until recently, because of Ahn Jun Hyuk's matter, the two sides have eased up a bit, for the time being, not to mention some of the thoughts of Kim Young-min, the spokesperson of their interests, to seek their own interests, at least in the eyes of those shareholders behind them, the easing of relations with Lee so-man will help them realize their ideas for many years.
However, at this moment, it was all in vain.
What's even more terrifying is that after mastering the 10% equity, according to the current equity structure, Li Xiuman's shares have exceeded 30% of the total share capital, and the relative control has been indisputably completed.
As a result, the structure of the shareholding has changed.
The most significant change is that from now on, the power of the board of directors will be further weakened - no matter how they unite, how they oppose Li Xiuman at the board meeting and management meeting, the other party who completes the relative control can call a shareholder meeting to veto any decision of the board of directors with more than 30% of the votes in their hands.
That means that from today onwards, Li Xiuman will stand on the commanding heights of almost undefeated confrontation!
How did things turn out like this?
Several neutral directors stood up in shock, their eyes scanning back and forth between Kim Young-min, Lee so-man, and Ahn Jun-hyuk, and they became more and more impenetrable.
The division and harmony between these three people, all kinds of tricks come out secretly, often stirring them up like seeing flowers in a fog, but they also understand that today, Kim Yingmin was tricked, as for whether he will collapse because of this in the future, they don't know, and they don't want to know.
People like to be on the side of the winner, not to mention, with Li Xiuman holding 30% of the shares, any resistance is futile.
After being silent for a long time, in the steaming room, a director wiped his sweat and raised his hand: "Well, I also think that Director Ahn Junhyuk should take a good rest, and his contribution is needless to say, just this year, relying on the popularity of the two dramas to help the company expand a lot of business in the film and television industry (after Ahn Junhyuk became famous, many scripts handed to Kwon Baogen, if Ahn Junhyuk didn't want it, the company can use the advantage of knowing the script to send its artists to audition, which can greatly improve the success rate)...... Well, I agree with him setting up his own studio!"
With one person taking the lead, the rest, it's much easier.
Gradually, one hand after another was raised.
"I also agree that Director An's contributions are sufficient to deserve such treatment. ”
"Yes, and what Director Jiang Chengshi said is too serious, Director An has not left the company, the personal contract is still hanging in the company, and everyone is still a family!"
"yes, yes, I agree. ”
“…………”
Glancing coldly at the neutral directors who raised their hands one by one, and then swept over the calm Lee so-man, and the smiling Ahn Jun-hyuk, listening to the words of approval in his ears, Kim Young-min suddenly put down the teacup heavily, and with a loud bang, the air was quiet for a moment.
He closed his eyes, was silent for a long time, and then said in a difficult voice: "I abstain!"
With that, turn and leave.
Behind him, Lee so-man slowly stood up and shook Ahn Jun-hyuk's hand. (To be continued.) )
