Chapter 49: Finalized

On August 31st, the weather in San Francisco was still sunny, the morning sun was shining, but it was raining in South Korea in the evening, Xiaoxian sent a photo of her standing in the rain, a girl in a white dress, standing in the rain, the background is moist and quiet, the park path that has been stretching backwards, the trees on both sides are verdant, the sky is cloudy, and she is like a white lily blooming in the forest. Xiaoxian asked him if she was more mature when she walked in the rain like this, and Ahn Junhyuk said that she was like a homeless puppy, and the little girl was angry and stopped sending text messages to chat with him.

When he received Hyun's last text message with an angry expression, Ahn Joon-hyuk was standing in front of an ordinary house in a San Francisco neighborhood.

Over the past three days, negotiations over the investment have gone well, culminating in Ahn Joon-hyuk buying about 28 percent of Facebook by injecting $2 million. This is Mark's psychological bottom line, if he wants the company to be independent, or to ensure his personal freedom to manipulate the company, he will not allow the shares held by others to threaten him, can he agree to sell almost one-third of the company's ownership in this way, or Ahn Junhyuk promises to continue to invest funds to ensure the development of Facebook, and part of the equity can also be entrusted to Mark to execute.

Ahn Jun-hyuk is not surprised by such a result, in business, no matter what the personal relationship between the two is, when it comes to interests, there is no affection to talk about.

And this part of the equity will be gradually diluted in the future, which is the inevitable development of the company, Facebook wants to get more room for growth, not only needs money, but also needs the support of large companies, and later financing and shares, even if Mark insists on his independence, he has to compromise with the pressure of reality, so that some large companies can participate in this market and share a bite of the cake, otherwise the expansion of the business will be difficult.

Ahn Jun-hyuk can't help with this, in fact, the future in the dream shows that compared to other social networking sites that are completely owned by capitalists - such as Twitter, Facebook is already very good, at least Mark has adhered to his own philosophy from beginning to end, is very cautious about financing, and tries his best to protect the interests of old shareholders, and has a relatively mature profitability early on, and does not need to burn too much money.

Therefore, he doesn't mind that the shares will be diluted, but it doesn't mean that he won't strive for anti-dilution, promising that Mark will continue to inject capital in the future is the first means to maintain equity, and the second means is the agreement that seems to be a loss, entrusting part of the equity to Mark to execute - although it will make him lose the power to meddle in the company's decision-making, but he has never thought of getting involved, rather than idle, it is better to hand it over to Mark to use, at least he can also tell Mark: I will always be on your side!

Through this means, his interests can be effectively tied to Mark, so as to avoid being completely kicked out in the future.

Thinking about the plan for the future of the shares in his hand, Ahn Jun-hyuk stood in front of the hut, held up his digital camera, and clicked to take a few photos.

The two-story cottage is typical of California, with a boxy wooden structure that looks like a sturdy matchbox, a small lawn in front of the door, and a tall old plane tree near the sidewalk.

The sycamore is very lush, only a thick branch sticking out of the lowest part is a little necrotic, standing under the tree, you can see strangulation marks on the branches, probably something like a swing before, Ahn Junhyuk took a few more pictures of it.

After a while, the door of the house opened, and a middle-aged Asian man came out with a bat in his hand, shouting, "Hey, what are you doing, this is a private house, no random photos!"

Most of the people living in this community are Asian, in this predominantly white country, people of color with the same skin color are more united, with his shouting, there are neighbors on the left and right, and they come out to this side, Ahn Junhyuk, who doesn't want to cause trouble, hurriedly explained to them his intention, and then some people were relieved: ...,

"Oh, is it the Zheng family? It's been a long time since they moved away, but I didn't expect the big girl to remember this place. ”

"Yes, yes, I also remembered that the two little girls have been very beautiful since they were children. Young man, how are they living in Korea?"

As someone remembered their former neighbors one after another, the tense atmosphere suddenly disappeared, and the current owner apologized a little embarrassedly, and then smiled: "Except for the house, other places are taken casually, and I haven't changed much since I moved here, but I took off the swing in front of the door, do you want to hang it up again?"

"No, no, just shoot some and let her see it. ”

While dealing with the enthusiasm of these people, Ahn Junhyuk took a few more photos, and even those neighbors got together to take a group photo, and then left, found an Internet café, and sent these photos to Xiuyan through hotmail, especially circled the bat in the hand of the owner of the house in the group photo, and teased in the email: "I almost got a stick, and I was shocked when I went back!"

Then, in the afternoon, he booked a ticket for the next day to return to South Korea, and in addition to the fact that the matter had been completed, more importantly, the rights acquisition negotiations on KBS's side were nearing the end earlier than he had expected.

In the spacious conference room of the KBS main building, the acquisition team hired by Park Young-jun and the negotiation team of KBS were arguing over the terms of the contract one by one, and next to them were Park Young-hand, who looked indifferent, and the ministers and special affairs of KBS who were also quietly in charge of the negotiation.

The copyright sale of the drama "I'm Sorry, I Love You" has been confirmed, even if some of these ministers and special ministers are dissatisfied, they will not jump out and sing white faces at this time.

There are disputes where there are people, just like in the TV station, some people agree to sell the copyright to avoid risks, and there are also people who disagree with the sale of Taiwan's plan, and the negotiation progress between the two sides has been at this stalemate some time ago, but everything became a thing of the past yesterday.

Su Ji-sub, who was still hospitalized, made a decision to enlist in the army after recovering from his injury through his agent, and at the same time, his agent, on behalf of So Ji-sub himself and 51K Company, sued the TV station in court, demanding that the TV station pay liquidated damages for unilateral termination of the contract.

When the contract was signed, although there was a clause about injury, the description of liquidated damages was vague, and Su Ji-sub's injury was not because of filming, of course the TV station would not pay, if it was put aside, even if the TV station cut this plan, it would not agree to the other party's request, although it would be a protracted lawsuit, but the TV station is not afraid, every year they have fewer lawsuits?

But now it's different, after getting the news yesterday, Park Young-joon immediately added the intention of being willing to bear Su Ji-sub's liquidated damages to the negotiation conditions, and this attitude also made the TV station executives who had been hesitant to sell their copyrights change their tune. Although they are not afraid of trouble, but one less trouble is one, and since someone is willing to take over this mess, they have no reason to refuse.

So soon, the two sides entered into substantive negotiations, and now the teams on both sides are arguing fiercely, in fact, they are fighting for corners and corners, which no longer hinders the overall situation.

Boredom waiting, the assistant made a cup of coffee for Park Young-joon, he sipped a little, the taste was terrible, so he felt more and more impatient.

To be honest, he has always complained about Ahn Jun Hyuk's decision to embark on the road to stardom, in South Korea, the status of idol stars is not high, and he looks at the scenery on the surface, but the actual income has been taken by the brokerage company, and no matter how popular an artist is, in the eyes of a successful person like him, it is also a small role worth mentioning.

He couldn't understand why Jun Hyuk had to drill into this thankless industry, and what was even more dissatisfied was that Jun Hyuk seemed to be a little crazy, spending money lavishly for his debut, in his opinion, with 7 million invested in a TV series, it would be better to hand it over to him in the stock market to speculate in tourism and real estate. …,

"It's insane. He pursed his lips, thinking a little helplessly.

"It's crazy...... the ministers and special affairs on the other side also thought the same thing, looking at Park Yingjun's boring and uninterested appearance.

They can see from Park Yingjun's performance that the other party is not interested in investing in TV dramas at all, let alone enthusiasm, and they really don't understand, since they are not interested and enthusiastic, what are they doing with investment?

This is, of course, just a joke. Even if there is a loser in the entertainment industry who throws a lot of money in order to chase female stars, he can't and dare not squander nearly 8 billion won.

There is a minister who once said casually: "Maybe he is someone from Ahn Junhyuk, as far as I know, when the crew was preparing, he, as one of the investors, never said a word, only after Ahn Junhyuk appeared, he seemed to suddenly become interested in the affairs of the crew, and finally gave the role of the second male lead to Ahn Junhyuk...... If you want to say that there is nothing boring in this, I don't believe it. ”

These words are quite reasonable, but no one cares about it, they have also seen the male number two named An Junhyuk, a very beautiful and polite young man, and his temperament looks very mature, but in this world, no one who is beautiful or mature has more money, and there is no shortage of such young people in the entertainment industry, and I don't feel anything special.

"That's just a little actor, you think too much of him!" said the others.

The attitude is not disdainful, but there is really no respect, artists are like this, whether they are new or old, whether they are popular or not, they have always received cheers from fans, but humiliation from other places.

However, reality always likes to surprise!

When it was afternoon, the battle between the two sides over the terms came to an end, and Park Young-joon, who signed the final agreement and became the main investor, made the first decision after summoning the director, screenwriter, and producer of the crew, and made everyone open their mouths wide and at a loss.

"Is the actor of the crew finalized? No? Very good, I think that Ahn Jun Hyuk is good, give it to him!"

After that, Park Yingjun, who was lacking in interest, turned around and left, it seems that all his actions in the past few days are for the sake of the last sentence!

Everyone looked at his back as he faded away, stunned.

Only the minister who had "predicted" before, after being stunned for a while, knocked on the table excitedly: "I will know the way!

The other ministers and special ministers looked at each other......
