There was no follow-up news for a whole week after the meeting between Zhang Dongjian and Kim Yingmin, and Han Shimin was a little impatient, so he quietly inquired about it in the S.M headquarters, but Kim Yingmin's secrecy work was very good, and no one except for a few cronies knew what the two sides talked about that day and what the result was.

Han Shimin was a little worried, so he had to call Zheng Xiyi:

"Xiyi, do you have any news over there?"

Zheng Xiyi didn't seem to understand, and asked in wonder:

"Huh, what's the news, what's the company?"

Han Shimin held his breath in his chest and almost couldn't breathe, took a deep breath to stabilize his aura before saying:

"Director Xiyi, NIM, did Zhang Dongjian XI talk to you about the merger later?"

"Ah, this thing! Mianada, Mianada......" Zheng Xiyi understood at this time, and said with a haha:

"Animida, Brother Dongjian seems to be very busy lately, and he only comes here when he needs to shoot, and he can't see anyone at other times. ”

Han Shimin frowned, and his tone was already a little dissatisfied:

"Director Xiyi, NIM, are we thinking too much about the ideas of those people in our headquarters and are tying ourselves down?"

After hesitating for a moment, Han Shimin gritted his teeth and continued in a deep voice:

"Although you and I are reluctant to fall out with the headquarters, if the headquarters and AM Entertainment do not end up negotiating, I think C&C should put aside all other concerns, first acquire AM Entertainment on its own, and then consider how to balance the relationship with the headquarters, after all, there is no next opportunity for such an opportunity.

So...... As the largest shareholder of C&C, would you like to support my decision at the Board of Directors?"

Zheng Xiyi on the other side of the phone raised his head and smiled slightly, how could he not know that the acquisition of AM Entertainment was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for C&C, and it was impossible to miss it again, but the decision of "even if S.M is put aside, AM Entertainment must be taken into his arms" cannot be made by him, and can only wait for Han Shimin to choose by himself.

Don't look at that day, Han Shimin sincerely said that he wanted to be tied to the Zheng family siblings, but he was born in the S.M system after all. Zheng Xiyi has no problem pulling him to deal with Jin Yingmin and even Li Xiuman, because it is just a small power struggle in the workplace, and winning or losing will not cause too much damage to his future future in S.M, but if Zheng Xiyi wants Han Shimin to fight against the entire S.M Council with him, then Han Shimin may not know which side he will stand, only a bait that Han Shimin can't resist can make him take the initiative to take the risk of Yibo, and only if he takes the initiative to stand in line, Zheng Xiyi can really believe him.

"No problem, President Semin, NIM, I will definitely support your decision. Zheng Xiyi promised in a sincere tone, and then changed the topic:

"However, I don't think it's a bad thing that there is no news, at least it shows that the two sides are still talking, but there are many problems that need to be solved, and it will be the same if we go for ......"

Han Shimin blinked and muttered for a long time before saying:

"Ne, Xiyi, you're right, I'm too anxious, Mianada. ”

Zheng Xiyi smiled slightly:

"President Semin is so polite, you also care about the future of C&C. ”

Han Shimin listened carefully to Zheng Xiyi's words, and didn't feel anything else, so he quietly breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile:

"Ne, Nei, Xiyi, you really know me. Well, then we'll wait a few more days, not in a hurry, not in a hurry. ”

Hanging up the phone, Zheng Xiyi shook his head slightly, and a sneer slipped across the corners of his mouth.

Han Shimin can make up his mind not because he believes in Jung Hee-yi, but because if C&C can successfully acquire AM Entertainment, although the scale is certainly not as large as top film and television agencies such as SIDUSHQ and CJ Entertainment, in terms of the number and quality of artists, it can barely be compared with Bae Yongjun's KEYEAST, and it can be regarded as a first-line Korean film and television agency.

The confidence of SIDUSHQ and CJ Entertainment comes from the chaebol backers, KEYEAST is backed by the connections of Bae Yongjun, the local king of South Korea, but C&C only has S.M, an idol agency, as the backstage, and it is even better to say that C&C has really relied on Jung Hee-yi over the years.

Zheng Xiyi chose to cooperate with S.M because both parties had no foundation in the Korean film and television industry, and it was hard to say that it was to stay warm. After so many years of hard work, C&C has finally gained a firm foothold in the film and television industry, but for Han Shimin, who is eager to reach the pinnacle of S.M's power, only a small place is obviously not enough, only brilliant success can prove his ability to the company's shareholders, and C&C after the acquisition of AM Entertainment is exactly what he needs.

More than half a month has passed, and "A Gentleman's Character" has begun to be officially broadcast on SBS, and Kim Young-min has also held several council meetings to inform the directors of the progress of the acquisition of AM Entertainment.

Although Kim Young-min spent more than half a month meeting with Zhang Dongjian every day to negotiate, the acquisition conditions proposed by the two sides were really far from the same, and if it weren't for Kim Young-min's constant emphasis on the benefits of acquiring AM Entertainment to the council, I am afraid that the negotiations would have broken down.

Today, Kim Young-min gathered the directors together to report the latest situation of the acquisition, and Li Xiuman put the latest negotiation record on the table and looked at it for a long time, before he took off his glasses expressionlessly, leaned back, and relaxed his eyes while pinching his mountain roots, and said:

"President Kim NIM has done a good job, and although it is still not fully acceptable, it is much better than the terms of the acquisition at the beginning. However, after the acquisition, only let our people serve as the representative of the board of directors, but they asked for 3% of the shares of S.M, and they also wanted to enter the board of directors.

The corners of Jin Yingmin's mouth moved, and he smiled reluctantly with Li Xiuman's joke, but unfortunately the atmosphere in the conference room was not relaxed because of this, and the faces of the other people were still gloomy after putting down the documents in their hands.

Han Shimin glanced at Lin Xiyin, and seeing that she had no intention of speaking now, she couldn't help but say after thinking about it:

"The conditions are indeed excessive, but the discussion has not ended for so long, does that mean that there is still a chance, President Kim NIM?"

Jin Yingmin looked at Han Shimin, glanced at Lin Xiyin again, and said hesitantly:

"As long as the negotiations continue, it can't be said that there is no chance, but the trouble is not only the amount of the acquisition amount, but also the fact that there are too many artists in AM Entertainment who can affect Zhang Dongjian XI......"

"Uh...... What does that mean? Didn't Zhang Dongjian XI create it himself? Except for Gao Xiaoying, who else could influence his decision?"

Han Shimin looked at Kim Yingmin puzzled, and Kim Yingmin said helplessly:

"AM Entertainment is indeed Zhang Dongjian XI who has the final say in name, but it's just ...... AM Entertainment's existing artists all joined AM Entertainment because of their close relationship with Zhang Dongjian XI, either close friends or juniors, Zhang Dongjian XI is also very grateful to these people for their trust in him, so there are many clauses to provide protection for these artists, but these clauses are not very in line with the company's system for us. ”

Han Shimin reopened the file and flipped through it, only to find that there were a bunch of detailed terms and conditions for the existing artists of AM Entertainment, such as the responsibilities and obligations of taking over the play, the right to decide on commercial performances and activities, etc., most of which are the artists who have the final decision, which is obviously unacceptable to the idol agency S.M.

Lin Xiyin suddenly spoke:

"I think these conditions can also be considered to be accepted to a limited extent, anyway, isn't Xiyi so free and loose now?"

Jin Yingmin opened his mouth, wanted to say something but held back, Li Xiuman smiled and said:

"Xiyin Director NIM, if these terms are only for Jang Dongjian XI and Kim Ha Na XI, other artists can't be compared with Xiyi Director IUM. ”

Lin Xiyin said:

"Then cancel these powers of Xiyi, let him do more work and make more money for the company. ”

Jin Yingmin's eyes lit up, and he was about to speak, but Li Xiuman laughed and preemptively said:

"Hahahaha, Xiyin Director NIM is really public and private, but Xiyi Director NIM is the pillar of the company, and Xiyi Director NIM has made great contributions to S.M, C&C has today's achievements are all the credit of Xiyi Director IM, how can we cross the river and tear down the bridge, no, no.

Besides, in addition to some privileges enjoyed by the directors of C&C, other artists also follow the S.M system, and AM Entertainment is no exception. ”

Lin Xiyin pursed her lips, closed the file and said:

"Since this is the case, then why must it be acquired by the headquarters, it is nothing to have an additional subsidiary, but it is a complete waste of resources to have an additional operating cost, not to mention, it is a bit more than worth the loss to use the shares of the headquarters to acquire. ”

"Huh?"

Jin Yingmin was shocked, staring at Lin Xiyin with hatred in his eyes, and secretly gritted his teeth.

The other directors also reacted, their eyes rolled but they all nodded to Lin Xiyin, and Han Shimin took the opportunity to say:

"Xiyin Director NIM is right, I think it is a bit of a waste to acquire AM Entertainment by the headquarters, it is better for us C&C to come forward and merge AM Entertainment and C&C......

Jin Yingmin hurriedly interrupted:

"C&C doesn't have that many operating staff now, and it still has to increase operating costs!"

Han Shimin said unhurriedly:

"But it is enough to increase the grass-roots operation personnel and some middle-level personnel, but the top management does not need to be increased, from the perspective of labor costs, the top is the big one." ”

The other directors nodded again and again, because Han Shimin was right, the labor cost of a company's senior personnel can be as high as four or five or even a dozen grassroots personnel, and S.M, who is used to being "thrifty", naturally hopes to reduce the labor cost of senior personnel.

Han Shimin smiled and nodded to the directors in thanks, before he continued:

"What's more, President Kim NIM himself is also one of the founders of C&C Company, and C&C's artist management system was completed during President Kim IM's tenure, so it should be clear that merging AM Entertainment's artists into C&C's artist management system is better than re-formulating another set of artist management system for AM Entertainment, right?"

Jin Yingmin was speechless for a moment, and could only nod stiffly, could he still say that his previous proud work was not good now?

Han Shimin smiled secretly in his heart, and still maintained a decent smile on his face and said:

"Besides, Xiyi Director NIM is now filming with Zhang Dongjian XI, and several major artists of AM Entertainment, Jin Ha Na XI and Jin Xiulu XI are also in the same crew, those trivial details, I think it is better to let Xiyi Director NIM negotiate with them as an artist, it should be better to negotiate than us profiteers!"

There was laughter in the room.

Han Shimin waited for everyone to quiet down, glanced around and confidently threw out the last killer move:

"Finally, and most importantly, so that there is no need to pay the shares of the headquarters, it is enough to exchange the shares of C&C for the shares of AM Entertainment, and at most the shareholders of C&C will increase the capital proportionally!"
