Chapter 573: Let's talk about the brand again
There are very few artists in the new S.M building, so fans don't gather here. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info but, there are still a lot of tourists who come to the entrance of the new S.M building to take pictures or something, as if the S.M logo is like a tourist attraction. Let countless star chasers take photos here to record 'a trip here' Li Yuhao drove around the gate and came directly to the entrance of the garage, the person guarding the garage looked at a chocolate jeep, he did not open the fence, but came over to ask who it was.
After he took two steps, Li Yuhao had already rolled down the window and stuck his head out, "Please open the fence." The security guard looked at Lee Woo-ho carefully for a while, only to realize that this person was the president of CJ Entertainment. He quickly opened the fence for Lee Woo-ho, and kept muttering in his heart, 'Why did this president suddenly come to our S.M??'
Entering S.M's building from the garage, Lee Woo-ho went straight to the top floor where Lee so-man was. When I got off the elevator and entered the office area, I saw two women in professional clothes sitting at the door, and when they saw Li Yuhao coming, both of them stood up and greeted "Hello, Chairman Li." ”
"Hello, I made an appointment with Li Xiuman. ”
"President Li, please come with me to the rest area and wait for a while, and we will ask you for the director. ”
After the greeting, one of them took the phone and called Li Xiuman's side, and the other took Li Yuhao to a comfortable rest area to sit, and also brought coffee to Li Yuhao.
A few minutes later, Li Xiuman walked towards Li Yuhao, he was still the old fox with kind and smiling eyes, but more than a month has passed since the last time I saw him, Li Xiuman's gray hair on his temples has become a little more, and it seems that he has been a lot sad because of EXO's affairs during this time. In the end, Wu Yifan still didn't stay, he still left S.M before EXO's solo concert.
Li Yuhao stood up with a smile and shook hands with Li Xiuman, "Director Li, there have been a lot of upsets recently? There are more gray hairs, go to the beauty salon when you have time, dye and dye it, otherwise you will look very haggard." ”
"Huh.. Thank you, Chairman Lee, for your concern, and please take a seat. ”
After the two sat down, Li Yuhao took a sip of coffee, found out his Great China and ordered one, and Li Xiuman also beckoned to the secretary at the door and asked them to bring an ashtray.
After sending the ashtray, Li Xiuman took out a folder and gave it to Li Yuhao, "Chairman Li, this is about the Sika brand, our company can make the biggest concession, you see, if it is suitable, we will sign the contract?"
Li Yuhao took the document and looked at the sharing ratio: 'The company is set up with Li Yuhao's investment of 100 billion, S.M with the portrait rights of all artists and 20 billion in cash, accounting for 30% of the profit share, and so on. S.M does not participate in the management and operation of the brand, S.M only has the right to dividends, and allows its artists to shoot CF and travel activities for the brand. Each combination shall not be more than 3 times per year, and the excess shall be charged according to the market price..."'
Seeing S.M's contract, Li Yuhao finally smiled, S.M They have their own star peripheral products, but they have not been involved in clothing, but Li Yuhao knew that they originally planned to enter this market, but Li Yuhao took Girls' Generation to occupy the market in advance at this time. This is also a big headache for S.M, so they simply took out this market and shared it with Li Yuhao.
Because they knew that Li Yuhao's investment target this time was the whole of Asia, S.M thought that their company did not have such strong financial resources to support such a large investment plan. Therefore, after the unanimous consultation of the shareholders, they simply joined forces with Li Yuhao to do it together.
However, the artist's portrait rights paid by S.M are what Li Yuhao wants to get from their company the most. Li Yuhao knows that as long as S.M's star peripherals, such as what EXO, F(x), and Girls' Generation enter the Chinese/domestic market, it will inevitably cause crazy robbing, and these are all genuine. Star-chasers buy things that support genuine products, and few people buy anything 'to the version', otherwise what else is it called support?
In particular, EXO's popularity in China is at least tens of millions or even hundreds of millions, right? It just so happens that CJ Group has a cooperative relationship with China, and it will be much easier for Lee Woo-ho to develop in the past. You don't need to go to South Korea, you don't need to shop online, you can buy authentic S.M celebrity peripherals in physical stores in big cities, and the business must be much more popular than South Korea, after all, the population base is there.
Li Yuhao closed the contract with satisfaction, "Director Li, I took a look at the contract, and I think it is very reasonable to divide it into something, however, I want to add one in, and let us 'BLANC &ECLARE' sell you S. M's peripherals. I hope that we will work together to make our products a Hallyu brand, not just a trendy brand. ”
"That's okay. By the way, Chairman Lee heard that your brand has been discussing the store at HK, and the flagship store in Seoul has not yet opened, so he plans to expand overseas?
"Is it fast? In the case of economic foundation, I think we can be as fast as possible, so that we will return on our capital much faster. It's too time-consuming to do it one step at a time, what do you think?"
Li Xiuman thought about it and felt that it made sense: "Also, with a strong economic foundation, there will indeed be no shortage of funds if the pace is faster." ”
"Well, then we'll make up our minds, I'll contact Sika to sign a contract with you at that time, after all, she's the company's representative, and I'm just a shareholder. ”
Li Xiuman's cooperation plan this time is indeed very kind, at least everyone has to make money. And S.M saw that Sika's store was about to open, and they didn't know what kind of disputes would happen if they wanted to join in the future, so they didn't have time to continue to talk patiently with Li Yuhao, so they simply came up with a bottom line that they could accept in one step.
"Hehehe.. One more thing I would like to ask Chairman Lee, is it rumored that Sika has taken over as the chairman of the Samsung Group's Dai-ichi Knitting Fabric?
It's been a long time since Sika took over as First Knitting, and although she has always been very low-key, it can be considered well hidden. However, how can there be an impermeable wall in the world? There will be some news leaked out, of course, it has not yet been completely exposed, and only a few people at the top know about it. This is one of the reasons why S.M has made such a big concession on the Sika brand this time.
In fact, when Li Xiuman's shareholders talked about Girls' Generation, Jessica took over the chairmanship of Li Xuxian's 'First Wool Weaving', Li Xiuman's face was full of shock, and Samsung's 'First Wool Weaving' involved 38 clothing brands all over the world. From low-end to high-end, from casual to outdoor, from formal wear to sports, all clothing collections are included. The market value of 'First Wool' far exceeds that of their S. M is many times better.
How much personal assets does all Sika have now, and what are the total amount of assets she has at her disposal? Li Xiuman even felt that Sika's personal net worth far exceeded his own. Of course, what Li Xiuman cares about is not Sika's current net worth, but her background at this time. Dai-ichi Woolen Weaving belongs to Samsung, the largest group company in South Korea.
Sika was able to sit in the position of the 'president' of Samsung's First Wool Weaving, and this energy was only possible for him Li Xiuman, and even their S. M can't afford to be guilty.
Maybe you S.M dare to go against M-NET, that is, CJ Group, but do you dare to go against Samsung Group? Samsung Group's assets are among the top 10 in the world, what are you S.M in front of them? Moreover, the political power of Samsung Group in South Korea is far beyond Lee so-man's imagination, and it is a group company that even the president of the country should not easily offend. They S.M are a ball in front of Samsung?
Li Yuhao just smiled and nodded, which could be regarded as an answer. After Li Xiuman got the answer at this time, he was in a mood. How do you say that? It's complicated, he doesn't know what to say. In the past, he investigated Li Yuhao's background, and the answer given by the other party was not to ask. Now he found out that Li Yuhao's background was similar to what he had guessed. Li Yuhao definitely has something to do with Samsung, otherwise Sika would never have been able to sit in the position of the first woolen chairman. Even if Sika doesn't care about anything, the position is a symbol of status.
What Li Xiuman didn't know was that the 'First Wool Weaving' had broken away from the Samsung Group and become an independent 'kingdom'. If he knew this, he would probably be scared off his glasses.
Who can make the Samsung Group willingly give up the 'first wool'? The president's son is impossible, right?
Now Li Xiuman is just guessing that Li Yuhao and the Li family of Samsung Group have an inseparable blood relationship. As for why he was able to get CJ Entertainment from CJ Group, maybe this is a family deal. After all, CJ Entertainment is independent from CJ Group, and he does not fall under the jurisdiction of CJ Group, and it is precisely because CJ Entertainment is an independent entertainment group company that Lee so-man will guess that Lee Woo-ho's Samsung side has a relationship.
After all, it's normal for families to exchange interests or something.
This is the first time that Li Xiuman has faced up to Li Yuhao's very strong network. He smiled and said, "That's how the brand matter is said, and it will trouble Chairman Li to worry more over there." ”
