Chapter 12: Lack of money

At 2 o'clock in the afternoon, Cha Seung-jae, the representative director of SIDUS Company, came to Skyline Entertainment, Ji Myung-cheol and Park Jin-young warmly received him, and Cha Sung-jae was completely calmed by the scale and facilities of Skyline Entertainment, and Ji Myung-cheol also invited Cha Sung-jae to hold a press conference, but he was unable to participate because of something, but he sent a minister of the company to participate, and afterwards the minister talked to him about the scale of Skyrim Entertainment, and now his personal experience makes him understand the minister's feelings.

In Park Jin-young's luxurious office, the two sides negotiated amicably, and when Ji Myung-cheol offered to give Kim Tae-woo's contract to SIDUS, Cha Seung-jae was surprised, and Ji Myung-cheol euphemistically said that he wanted to buy Jun Ji-hyun's contract with Cha Tae-hyun, Cha Seung-jae was a little embarrassed.

Founded in April 1995, Sidus Records is one of the largest independent record labels for new music in Korea. The company, which has a number of branches in the fields of music, video and print (advertising), seeks to establish a comprehensive three-dimensional operation model for the Korean record industry, creating a new system, and they are also trying to grasp the direction of the future through guò's keen sense and new conceptual way of thinking, and then influence the culture of society.

Sidus is a company divided into the Imaging Division, the Recording Division, and the Overseas Division. The imaging division has a considerable scale of production strength, which can not only produce more than 6-7 domestic film works every year, but also import large-scale foreign films.

The company has not yet become a Korean film and television empire as it has since been, and Ji Myung-cheol finally promised to have time to "create" for Sidus Two songs, in exchange for Jun Ji Hyun and Cha Tae Hyun's contract, of course, the contract still costs money, Jun Ji Hyun's contract is more expensive, after all, it is already a little famous, 600 million won to win, as for Cha Tae Hyun's current value is not big for Sidus, only 300 million won, for only spending 900 million won to win the two future big stars, Ji Mingzhe expressed his satisfaction and thanked Cha Seung Jae again.

For Cha Seung-jae, he values Ji Myung-cheol's two songs more. After all, the other party is a well-known figure in the American music scene, just look at Beyoncé, who is now killing all sides in the American music scene, Tu Bang, in addition to Tu Bang or Tu Bang, the two songs on her album "Crazy Love" and "Dear Boy" are taking turns to rage on the Billboard Top 100 singles chart for 16 weeks, and still occupy the top two spots on the chart. Ji Mingzhe's album for her has sold 37 million copies around the world, and now musicians across the United States are waiting to see where the album's sales limit is. Ji Mingzhe agreed to produce two zuò songs for Sidus, and it can be said that they earned it.

When several people in GOD, especially Kim Tae-woo, left Skyrim Entertainment in great disappointment after learning about the situation, Park Jin-young watched them leave in silence, as if he had lost something. Ji Myung-cheol and Cha Seung-jae signed the transfer contract in the presence of their lawyers, and before Ji Myung-cheol promised to hand over the two songs to Sidus by the end of the year.

"Brother Zhenying, next you want to find a way to learn more about a singer named Bai Zhiying, she has a great voice, it's best to dig into the company. You start by getting an album called "Choice" that she released last year. "In his previous life, Ji Mingzhe loved Baek Ji-young's songs very much, and next year Baek Ji-young's video incident will break out, for this powerful female singer known as South Korea's "Jennifer Lopez", Ji Mingzhe decided to take action, he will never allow this to happen to the singers of his company, yes, he has forcibly counted Bai Ji-young as his own singer, and at this time he began to let Park Jin-young wield a shovel.

"Okay, I'll pay attention, by the way, Mingzhe, when will the plan for "Rising Star" start?" Park Jin-young was very interested in this plan.

"I'm going to get the job done! Two weeks later we started advertising. "Ji Mingzhe has privately signed confidentiality agreements with six investigation companies, and asked them to go all over South Korea to find those little fresh meat. Next year, S.M will hold the first trainee selection competition, and Ji Mingzhe decided to take the lead. Those investigation companies have already been dispatched with the clues provided by Chi Mingzhe.

Back in the office of the main building, Lin Chengwen, the president of Skyline Media, was already waiting here.

"President, the website called Naver was negotiated yesterday afternoon, and we bought them in their entirety. Now it's time to sign the contract. Lin Chengwen said respectfully.

"Sit down and say, Chairman Lin, just call me Mingzhe in the company, don't be so restrained, the atmosphere of our company has always been very relaxed, isn't it? I have advocated several times in meetings that everyone in the company should be like a family, and get along with each other at ease, and besides, we are an international company, and we will follow the standard form of American enterprises. Chi Mingzhe and Lin Chengwen sat down on the sofa.

"This naver company is in charge of your media company, I will not interfere, I only ask for one point, within one year, this website should be built into the largest portal in South Korea, and it is best to achieve a monopoly position, which is impossible in the United States, but this is South Korea, isn't it?" Ji Mingzhe looked at Lin Chengwen.

"Print media can't give up, and we must pay more attention to it, and I have decided that you will come forward to buy your old employers, "Han Minzu News" and "Jingxiang News". We want these two newspapers and websites to become the mouthpieces of our group in Korea. Chi Mingzhe pinched his chin and looked at Lin Chengwen calmly.

"I will definitely live up to the president's trust!" Lin Chengwen stood up and bowed excitedly, he had a deep grudge against his old club, how could he not want to let Chi Mingzhe give him a chance to take revenge at this time. Chi Mingzhe is thinking about the problem of funds at the moment, the website is a big money-eater, and so are the newspapers, it seems that he has to find Martin to find a way again.

When Ji Myung-cheol met Cha Tae-hyun and Jun Ji-hyun in the Crystal Palace staff cafeteria by the Jinghu Lake, the two of them were a little uncomfortable. Sitting on both sides of the dining table, people around them walked by, it was lunch time at the moment, the entire group of employees are dining here, this restaurant is no different from the luxury restaurant of the five-star hotel outside, serving two buffets at noon and evening, for this restaurant, Chi Mingzhe has spent a lot of money, not to mention the decoration, it must be very warm and gorgeous, the key is the chef, the chef is from France, with Michelin 2-star certification, and even a special chef invited from China, good at Sichuan cuisine and Cantonese cuisine, which is also Chi Mingzhe's favorite cuisine in his previous life。 With these two things, this staff restaurant is completely comparable to the restaurants of famous luxury hotels in Seoul.

"Cha Tae-hyun, Jun Ji-hyun, hello! Ming-cheol! That Frenchman must be in a good mood today! Otherwise, there would be no chef's special dishes. Even the foie gras was baked. Park Jin-young greeted them as he walked by with a plate, and Cha Tae-hyun and Jun Ji-hyun stood up to salute.

"I specially greeted him and asked him to show his hand, because the company has a newcomer today!" Ji Mingzhe said with a smile.

"I say, you talk slowly, I'll go first. Park Jin-young walked to Lee Sung-young, the president of Mia, who was waving to him, with a plate. Jun Ji-hyun and Cha Tae-hyun were surprised by Park Jin-young's address to Ji Myung-cheol. Seeing their puzzlement, Ji Mingzhe smiled.

"The atmosphere in our company is like this, everyone gets along like a family, there are not so many clear hierarchies, and I don't like that either. Although I was born in Korea, I grew up in the United States, so I really like the working atmosphere in American companies, and you will get to know it once you get acquainted with it. ”

"Understood, President, take the liberty of asking, what is the company's next arrangement for us?" Cha Tae-hyun and the two looked at each other, and Cha Tae-hyun asked questions.

"In private, you can call me Mingzhe, we are the same year, just call each other by name, Jihyun will call me Oba! Let's talk while eating!" Ji Mingzhe led the two of them to the dining table. When they sat down again, Cha Tae-hyun and Jun Ji-hyun had surprises on their faces! The dishes in the cafeteria are too rich, you can eat whatever you want, as long as you don't waste it.

"Oba, is this usually the case here?" Jun Ji-hyun asked Ji Ming-cheol softly as he inserted a small piece of steak into it.

"yes, it's all like that, how about it? Do you think it's coming to our company? Ji Myung-cheol teased Jun Ji-hyun, and Jun Ji-hyun nodded embarrassedly.

I didn't expect our company's welfare to be so good, I never imagined that any company would be so good to its employees. Cha Tae-hyun exclaimed.

"After eating in a while, I'll take you to the dormitory to have a look, and don't be surprised when the time comes. Pouring a drink for Jun Ji Hyun, Jun Ji Hyun took it with both hands in a panic and asked the chairman to serve her, she was a little uncomfortable, and Ji Myung Cheol told him that their company's first movie would star the two of them.

After eating, when the two of them looked at the villa in front of them, they couldn't say anything, and the two villas that Chi Mingzhe arranged for them were leaning against the edge of Jinghu, which made the two suspect that they were dreaming. Later, Chi Mingzhe took the two of them to Skyrim Film and Television to meet Guo Zairong, and told Guo Zairong to form a crew and put it into filming.

Ji Mingzhe returned to the office, buried himself in the desk and wrote hard, and then dialed the phone number of Martin, a good classmate who runs an investment company in New York.

"Hey, man, I thought you forgot about me, how are you doing?" said Martin lazily.

"How can it be, Martin, I've been so busy lately, listen to me, have you been paying attention to the NASDAQ stock market lately? I think there's another opportunity to make a lot of money. I'll send you a fax when I go back, and you just stay by and don't leave, and I'll put $300 million on your investment company's account, I can only use so much, but I authorize you to use the maximum financial leverage to operate this plan, I'm running out of money, so I urgently need a large amount of money, you know!" Chi Mingzhe hung up the phone and immediately sent a fax. After Martin received it, he carefully read Ji Mingzhe's plan and put it into the shredder, which was a tacit understanding between the two.

Ji Mingzhe knew that soon the myth of Internet technology was going to end, so he wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to turn a big penny, he asked Martin to short those Internet technology stocks, in memory of the 2000 U.S. stock market experienced Black Friday on April 14, the myth of Internet technology was completely broken, South Korea still needs a large amount of capital investment, not only to buy newspapers, but also to buy land on Jeju Island, so the opportunity is not to be missed!
