Chapter 9: The Old Man and the Returnee
The next day, after Li Xianhao went to work as usual, he also saw the news about the Black Sea incident on the Internet, and the Internet was a boycott of Girls' Generation, and rampant anti fans continued to post all kinds of unfavorable news about Girls' Generation on the Internet, and many passers-by who did not know the truth also joined in this boycott of Girls' Generation, and the speeches of those few fans of Girls' Generation did not play any role at all. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Looking at these news, Li Xianhao was also a little worried in his heart, although he knew the final result of this Black Sea incident, but at this moment, everyone in Girls' Generation must be in the lowest mood, and they need to be comforted the most. Li Xianhao thought about what to do for them, after all, his sister was also one of the sources of this Black Sea incident.
Thinking of the news he saw yesterday, Li Xianhao thought about it, it seems that this matter should be carried out faster, and it should be carried out with a little more momentum.
Li Xianhao thought of it, so he immediately went to do it, called Kim Kwang-so's secretary to contact Hong Shengcheng, and agreed to meet in the afternoon.
After Hong Shengcheng originally came out of JYP, he intended to set up a brokerage company again, but he was suffering from insufficient funds and was preparing to find contacts to see if there were any investment partners.
Suddenly received an appointment from the president of CCM, which made Hong Shengcheng a little curious, why is Kim Kwang-so looking for him? The two have nothing to do with each other, they just know each other as peers. Although he couldn't figure out what Kim Kwang-so was looking for him, he still agreed to meet him. Hong Shengcheng naturally did not know that CCM had changed its president.
After agreeing with Hong Shengcheng, Li Xianhao was ready to inspect the trainees, today happened to be the weekend, and the eight trainees were training, and Li Xianhao just took the opportunity to get to know Park Ji-yeon and the three.
The head of the trainee's room is called Jiang Dongyuan, and when he learned Li Xianhao's thoughts, he happily took Li Xianhao to the underground practice room.
Eight trainees used two practice rooms, one of which included Park Ji-yeon, Han Eun-jeong, Park Hyo-min and Lee Ji-ah and Yang Ji-won, maybe Kim Kwang-so already had a plan to train them to become a group, so he arranged for them to practice together.
In the morning, there is a vocal practice, and there is a vocal teacher who supervises the teaching, and all five of them practice their own pronunciation skills, and the teacher will let them mainly practice the voice training of that scale according to their voices.
Jiang Dongyuan went in and asked the teacher to suspend the teaching, and the five of them also stopped, and when they heard that the president came to inspect, they all looked at Li Xianhao a little nervously, but they suddenly found that it was actually a handsome guy, not the president they were familiar with.
"This is the new president of our company, President Li Xianhao, President Li, you have come to see President Li. Jiang Dongyuan introduced to the five trainees.
"He's the new president, so young?"
"The new president is so handsome......"
"Why did the company suddenly change its president?"
“……”
Everyone was suspicious, but they still stepped forward to salute Li Xianhao, "Hello president." ”
"Well, no need to be polite, let me introduce myself, my name is Li Xianhao, I just took office yesterday, you can come to me directly if you have anything in the future, you can also put forward to me if you have any needs, the company will be very different from before, it will become better, so you don't have to worry about the company changing the president will make you uncomfortable, the training should be trained as usual, you know?" Li Xianhao's speech was quite a bit of a leader, but standing in front of the members of the group he once liked made him a little excited.
"I know the president. Everyone replied in unison.
"Zhiyan, I heard that you are the youngest here, if you feel hard or need any other requirements, you can ask me, you know?" Li Xianhao touched Zhiyan's soft hair and said as calmly as possible.
"Know...... I know the ...... Long. Li Xianhao's sudden movement made Park Ji-yeon feel unusually nervous, and she didn't dare to look at Li Xianhao with her head down.
Seeing that Park Ji-yeon was quite nervous, Li Xianhao realized that her actions scared her, although he meant to be close and close, but these trainees didn't think so, after all, their identities were different.
Li Xianhao could only withdraw his hand stupidly, and immediately changed the topic: "Enjing, I heard that you are the best trained, continue to keep it up, and you can bring it up to me if necessary." ”
"Thank you, president. Han Enjing replied politely.
"The rest of you are the same, you have to train hard, and strive to reach the standard of debut as soon as possible, I will come to inspect it in a few days, and if your results satisfy me, I will invite you out for a barbecue dinner." Although Li Xianhao is not very good at management, he has also seen more basic management things, and giving them a little benefit can be regarded as giving them the motivation to train.
"Really, President, will you invite us to eat barbecue?" Park Ji-yeon suddenly came to her senses when she heard Li Xianhao say please eat barbecue, and looked at Li Xianhao eagerly, hoping to confirm that she had heard it correctly.
"Of course, not only the barbecue, but also the rest of what you want to eat, I will satisfy you. But if you're not doing well, there's no barbecue. Li Xianhao chuckled.
"We're sure you'll be satisfied, president, but you can't talk and don't count, I'm going to eat roast beef. Park Ji-yeon seemed very excited when she talked about eating, and the tension that Li Xianhao brought to her just now was gone.
"How could I lie to you, especially our little Zhiyan, I won't lie to you. Li Xianhao touched Zhiyan's head again and smiled. This time, Park Ji-yeon was no longer nervous, but showed a shy smile.
"Okay, you guys just train first, and I'll come back to inspect you in two days. ”
"Well, goodbye, President. ”
"President, I'll train hard. Before Li Xianhao went out, Park Ji-yeon still didn't forget to say a word.
As soon as Li Xianhao left, several people gathered together to talk about Li Xianhao, the young, handsome, and amiable Li Xianhao won their favor, so that they were all satisfied with Li Xianhao becoming the president.
Park Ji-yeon only felt in her heart that Lee Xianhao was like a kind oppa, which made her feel very comfortable in her heart, and Lee Xianhao made her feel the intimacy like his pro-oppa, especially the feeling of stroking her head.
…………
Although they only met for a short time, Li Xianhao felt a trace of awe of several of them for themselves, which is a natural habit from the strict hierarchical system, although Li Xianhao has tried his best to be very friendly, but everyone has always been separated from him by a layer of estrangement, which makes Li Xianhao quite distressed, and he thinks that he will find a way to let them eliminate their awe of themselves.
After meeting a few people, Li Xianhao, the other trainees, only met slightly, and none of them had names that Li Xianhao was familiar with, so Li Xianhao naturally didn't care so much about them.
Next, Li Xianhao asked Liu Mingyu to take himself in Qingtan Cave slowly walked around, he looked for a new building in urgent need of rent, also located in Qingtan Cave, only one street away from JYP company, just at the intersection of the three forks, is a new office building, with 12 floors high, the ground area of 120 ping, and two basements, is the most suitable location for the company building, Li Xianhao happily immediately contacted the landlord, the landlord thought that Li Xianhao was going to rent this building, but Li Xianhao opened his mouth and directly said the idea of buying this building, the original landlord did not want to sell, but Li Xianhao said it badly, which made the landlord agree to sell the building, and Li Xianhao directly bought the building for 35 billion won.
The building has not been specifically renovated, and it originally didn't need so much money, but Li Xianhao couldn't bear Li Xianhao's repeated requests, and the landlord sold it, so the price was naturally a lot more expensive.
"Young master, in fact, this building is not worth so much money, this is not a prosperous area, and the building is not fully renovated, at most it is worth about 30 billion. Liu Mingyu also had to admire Li Xianhao's extravagant spending a lot of money to buy this building, but he was still a little unworthy of Li Xianhao, and he couldn't help but open his mouth until he signed the contract.
"As for the JYP company opposite, I don't care how much it's worth. Li Xianhao smiled and pointed to the JYP company opposite.
"Let's go, let's go have lunch, Mingyu, do you have a good place to recommend? ”
"Well, young master, your request is too difficult, and it must be delicious, and not too spicy, even if you eat ginseng chicken soup, it is also spicy. Liu Mingyu said embarrassedly.
"Then let's go eat ginseng chicken soup. Li Xianhao decided directly.
…………
At two o'clock in the afternoon, it was the agreed time with Hong Shengcheng, a leisure café near Apguting, where Hong Shengcheng had already been waiting.
Li Xianhao naturally knew Hong Shengcheng, and when he arrived, he was already a few minutes late.
"Senior Hong, I'm sorry, I'm late. Li Xianhao hurriedly walked over and apologized first, Li Xianhao was more respectful of Hong Shengcheng, the senior, and at the same time, Li Xianhao also began to look at Hong Shengcheng inadvertently, about fifty years old, a little short, wearing a pair of rimless glasses, and a harmless smile on his face.
"Oh, may I ask who you are?" Hong Shengcheng looked at Li Xianhao in surprise, obviously he was seeing Li Xianhao for the first time.
"Oh, Senior Hong, I forgot to introduce myself, I just agreed with you, the president of CCM Company, my name is Li Xianhao, and my predecessor can call me Xianhao. ”
"Are you the president of CCM?" Isn't the president of CCM Kim Kwang-so?" Hong Shengcheng was suddenly surprised, Li Xianhao was too young, so he didn't believe it.
"President Kim Kwang-so is now the company's vice president, and I just took over the position of president in the past two days. After Li Xianhao sat down, he explained to Hong Shengcheng.
"Oh~" Hong Shengcheng suddenly said.
"I don't know if Haoxi is looking for me, but is there anything wrong?" Hong Shengcheng took a leisurely sip of coffee and asked slowly. After knowing that it was Li Xianhao looking for him, Hong Shengcheng lost interest in this meeting, Li Xianhao was so young, he knew at a glance that he became the president through a relationship, and Hong Shengcheng hated the so-called rich second-generation mixed resume the most.
"When I was in the United States, I heard about the deeds of Hong's predecessors, JYP has today's glory, Hong's predecessors can be said to be great, and what I admire the most is that Hong's predecessors are quite humane management methods, treating their artists as family, rather than the company's money-making machine, I also very much agree with this method. Li Xianhao did not immediately answer Hong Shengcheng's words, but praised Hong Shengcheng first.
Hong Shengcheng nodded and agreed: " Treat the artist as a family, there are people in the family, there are people outside the home, we are the family members who take care of the housekeeping for them, and they accumulate wealth for this big family outside, but this concept is difficult to achieve in our country, now the contracts between major companies and artists are seriously unequal, I have also thought about improving this contract, but the manpower is limited, I alone does not play any role, there are a large number of investors behind the company, what they need is not a family management model, but profits. ”
"Hehe, Senior Hong, in fact, it is not difficult to implement, as long as there is a company that does not focus on making profits. Li Xianhao said with a smile.
"Does this kind of company exist?" Hong Shengcheng couldn't help but smile lightly, looking at Li Xianhao with some contempt, but thinking in his heart, young people are young people after all, their vision is too narrow, and they don't open a company to make money, so who will open a company?
"That's why I made an appointment to meet Senior Hong. Li Xianhao said: "I know that Senior Hong has left the JYP company, so I want to invite you to develop together and create a company with a humanized family model, no longer using artists as a tool to make money, Senior Hong, what do you think?"
"Hehe, although CCM is backed by CJ Entertainment, its development is limited. Hong Shengcheng did not answer Li Xianhao's words, but politely rejected Li Xianhao's invitation in one sentence. However, he is right, if according to the historical development, the development of the CCM company is indeed limited, and it is not even as good as the CUBE company founded by Hong Shengcheng.
"Damn, CCM companies can't look down on it, it seems that this Hong Shengcheng is really very high-minded, although CCM's development is indeed limited, but in the end it is relying on a big mountain. Li Xianhao muttered in his heart.
"Mr. Hong, I'm not talking about CCM company, I'm going to re-establish a new company, the new company is not only backed by CJ Entertainment, but also completely independent of CJ Entertainment, but I can enjoy all kinds of favorable conditions under CJ Entertainment. Li Xianhao explained.
"Oh, a completely independent company, can it still be backed by CJ Entertainment?" Hong Shengcheng couldn't help but squint at Li Xianhao, and was also thinking about Li Xianhao's origin in his heart.
"What about the funds? Since Xian Haoxi wants to invite me to set up a company together, I don't know where the funds come from?
"In terms of funds, senior Hong don't worry, do you think 100 billion is enough? If it's not enough, I can increase it, and 200 billion is okay. ”
"What? 100 billion?" Although Hong Shengcheng is already a very calm old man, he was still shocked by Li Xianhao's words, 100 billion is not enough and can be increased to 200 billion, how big is the scale of this company? Nearly 100 million US dollars to open a new company? Even today's JYP company is not worth 200 billion.
Only then did Hong Shengcheng begin to face up to Li Xianhao, who could casually say that he didn't care about hundreds of billions of dollars, Li Xianhao was definitely a rich son from a big chaebol.
Li Xianhao thought that 100 billion was not enough, in his previous life, when he learned about these large companies, he saw that the market value of these companies was trillions, and he thought that his 100 billion was just a little drizzle, so he said again, "Then 500 billion, right? ”
Hong Shengcheng was shocked by Li Xianhao's words again, and began to think about Li Xianhao's identity in his heart, Li Xianhao was either talking casually, or he was very big, and the one who could come up with so much money was surnamed Li, except for the people of the Samsung family, no one else could come up with so much money.
"I don't know what your Abba's name is?" asked Hong Shengchengshen.
"My Abba?" Li Xianhao felt a little strange when he saw Hong Shengcheng suddenly ask about his Abba.
"Does he think I'm running a company with my father's money?"
"Senior Hong, let me tell you the truth, my father is Lee Jae-hyun, but I won't rely on him to make any money to start a company, I earn it myself. ”
"It turns out that Xian Haoxi's abba is Chairman Lee Jae-hyun. Hong Shengcheng nodded and understood it clearly, and then began to think about it, the benefits of starting a company with Li Xianhao are very obvious, and the big tree of cj entertainment will give him a solid backing. But Hong Shengcheng is also a little worried, worried that Li Xianhao, a rich son from a super chaebol, is just a casual joke to run a company, and when the time comes, the company may not know what the end will be, Hong Shengcheng is a little in a dilemma.
"Xianhao, I have a question, do you want to set up a company on a whim, or do you want long-term development?" Hong Shengcheng thought about it alone, and directly asked what he was most worried about.
"Hehe, does Senior Hong think that I can take hundreds of billions out to play? I have money, I can also spend it indiscriminately, but it is meaningful to spend indiscriminately, if it is to take hundreds of billions out to play, why should I invite my seniors to co-found a company? Just find a mediocre person to take care of the company. ”
"Xianhao, I don't ask if it's okay, I'm also old, and I want to create another career, I can't compare with you young people, you can do it again if you fail, at my age, there is no chance of failure, if you can't create a career, I might as well retire and go home to retire." ”
"Senior, you can rest assured, since I have done it, I will do my best, the new company is my career, and I will naturally not treat it casually. Li Xianhao replied with a straight face.
"Since Xianhao said that you are developing the company as a career, I will believe you, but you invited me to develop the company together, I don't know what the positioning is for me?" Hong Shengcheng then asked, he is also very concerned about this, if the company is just Li Xianhao's words, then there is no difference with him or not.
"Senior Hong is very experienced, and I am just a newcomer, so in terms of company management, I am ready to let my senior take full responsibility. "Li Xianhao naturally doesn't want to manage the company himself, and Hong Shengcheng has a lot of management experience, so it's best for him to manage all affairs.
Hong Shengcheng nodded, and his heart began to have a slight change in his opinion of Li Xianhao, Li Xianhao, a rich son from a super chaebol, does not seem to be useless.
"Okay, since you have been so kindly invited, I promise you to start a company with you. ”
"Senior, you agreed, it's really good, the company has seniors to lead, I believe the development will be very good. ”
"Then let's discuss the details first. Hong Shengcheng was also anxious to start a new company, and Li Xianhao's appearance made him very satisfied, so after thinking about it, he decided to cooperate with Li Xianhao to co-establish the company.
Li Xianhao nodded happily in agreement, asked the waiter to refill two cups of coffee, and then began to discuss the specific affairs of the new company with Hong Shengcheng.
Under Hong Shengcheng's explanation, Li Xianhao knew that a company of 100 billion yuan was already very large, and it didn't need 500 billion at all. After discussion, the two decided that Lee Seon-ho would invest 100 billion won, accounting for 95% of the shares of the new company, and Hong Seung-sung would invest 2 billion and his own experience and connections, accounting for 5% of the shares. Originally, Li Xianhao wanted Hong Shengcheng to be the president, after all, he wanted to lead the company, but Hong Shengcheng did not agree, and the position of president was still held by Li Xianhao, and he only served as the vice president and the company's representative. Since Li Xianhao is to develop the company as a career, the position of president must be done by Li Xianhao, and the big family also attaches great importance to this, because the company is done well, and the credit is the president, so to put it this way, Li Xianhao also has face, how can the shrewd Hong Shengcheng not know these things.
Li Xianhao reluctantly agreed, he served as the president of the company, and Hong Shengcheng was only the vice president and the company's representative, but he had full authority to manage the company's affairs. Next, the two discussed the name of the company, Li Xianhao thought for a while, and then named it Aite Company, the full name is AsiantipEntertainment, which means Asia's top entertainment company, referred to as AT Company, which can also be called Aite Company. Aite is just a symbol in the email, but it is very significant, and Li Xianhao believes that his company will definitely become a truly top company in Asia.
