Chapter 383: Dig Out a Future

Hong Seung-sung has never been an ambitious person, which can be seen not only from supporting the relationship between Long Jun-hyung and Goo Hara, but more importantly, it can be seen from the share distribution after Hong Seung-sung created CBUE that Hong Seung-sung is definitely not an ambitious person.

At the beginning, Hong Shengcheng set up his own portal to create CUBE, but in fact, in terms of CUBE's shares, Hong Shengcheng himself only had 22.08%, and CUBE's largest stake was occupied by the actor agency giant SidusHQ, holding 50.01% of the shares.

You know, SidusHQ holds 50.01% of CUBE shares, to put it bluntly, it is already a complete control, if SidusHQ is willing, then it can directly kick Hong Shengcheng out of CUBE, just like Jobs was kicked out of Apple back then.

If Hong Seung-sung is an ambitious person, then he will never agree to the relationship between Long Jun-hyung and Goo Hara, which will affect the development of Long Jun-hyung and Beast. It is even more impossible to let others completely control the company, so that they completely lose the right to control the company, and once they offend, they will be kicked out of the door.

In Hong Shengcheng's concept, he needs a platform where he can fully show his talents and abilities, and a partner who fully trusts and supports himself.

As long as you can do this, then in terms of shares, Hong Shengcheng said that he doesn't care, he doesn't care at all, otherwise there will be no such thing as SidusHQ holding 50.01% of the shares of CUBE.

Therefore, when Kim Yu-fan described in detail the scope of work and power of his position as an artist director, and promised to support himself in a big way, if he nodded, he would become the president of Kim Yu-beom's company.

Therefore, Hong Shengcheng was moved and hardly hesitated. Immediately nodded and agreed to cooperate with Jin Yufan, and didn't even ask about his personal treatment, he didn't care at all.

Hong Shengcheng can not care about his personal treatment, but Jin Yufan can't help but think about it, not to mention Hong Shengcheng's personal ability or his own influence. Jin Yufan cares about it very much.

First of all, Hong Shengcheng's humanized management style, Jin Yufan agrees with it very much, because Jin Yufan is not a Korean in the first place, at least in terms of soul. Although I have worked hard in the Korean entertainment industry in the past few years, I have gotten used to many things, but there is no way to do it.

This time is different, this time Jin Yufan plans to create his own brokerage company, he couldn't do it before, but now he has his own brokerage company. If you say it all by yourself, then Jin Yufan will definitely not be like other brokerage companies, like a bloodsucking worm nailed to the veins of its artists.

First of all, that is, Hong Shengcheng's management philosophy is very consistent with Jin Yufan, which is very important, because only Jin Yufan, the real boss, and Hong Shengcheng, the main helmsman of the future company, Hong Shengcheng's management philosophy, is the same, then the cooperation will be happy. Many contradictions and disputes arising from disagreements have been avoided.

This can be seen from JYP, once Kim Yu-beom and Hong Seung-sung disagree, there will be contradictions and disputes. A small one will affect the development of the company, and a big one is that Hong Shengcheng is like this now, turning around and leaving with a pat on his buttocks.

Secondly, the reason why Jin Yufan chose Hong Shengcheng as the president of his company is that he completely values Hong Shengcheng's personal ability.

Although Hong Shengcheng pays attention to humanized management. This makes it sometimes really troublesome for the management of artists, but it is undeniable that Hong Shengcheng is definitely a powerful leader, and he has a very good grasp of the balance between humanized management and the interests of the company.

Since Hong Seung-sung became the president of JYP, JYP has grown rapidly from scratch to become one of the four major traditional Korean music agencies. It is even now in second place. In addition, CUBE Agency, which Hong Seung-sung founded himself, has made CUBE the top music agency in Korea in just over five years.

These can prove Hong Shengcheng's means and personal ability, and he is definitely the top talent in the position of the president of the Korean music agency.

And then in order to save trouble, Jin Yufan created his own brokerage company, which does not mean that Jin Yufan will give up his personal acting career to concentrate on being the president, although Jin Yufan is low-key, but he is also an idle person, if you let Jin Yufan stay in the office all day, Jin Yufan will not be able to stand it.

If he manages the company and does not give up his personal career, not to mention whether Jin Yufan has the energy to do this, whether he has the ability to balance and control his personal career and the company's career, at least one thing is that he is busy going overseas, in case something happens to the music and entertainment circles in South Korea, Jin Yufan will not be able to know and respond in time.

Besides, after Hong Seung-sung left JYP to create CUBE, you can look at JYP, and finally Park Jin-young served as the president of JYP.

Uh~~~ Well, it turns out that Park Jin-young is definitely the top producer and creator in South Korea, but he is not a top manager. Let's take a look at what happened after Park Jin-young took over the position of president of JYP, JYP is almost getting more and more dead, otherwise, with JYP's strength and background at the time, how could it be impossible for YG to surpass JYP and become second only to S with the two combinations of BigBang Hao 2ne1? Company M sat on the second throne.

In the end, what Jin Yufan values most about Hong Shengcheng is that Hong Shengcheng not only represents himself, but on the contrary, he represents a large group of people.

Because as long as Hong Shengcheng is done, then with Hong Shengcheng's status and influence in JYP, as well as his own power, he can definitely take away many backbones of JYP and enrich his own brokerage company.

In this way, if a Hong Shengcheng is finalized, then the most junior management talents and staff of his brokerage company, including trainees who represent the future and hope, will be available. As soon as Hong Shengcheng joined Jin Yufan's brokerage company, he would directly bring a large number of people over. Then after a few days of adaptation and familiarization, the company can be operated normally, which is absolutely beneficial and harmless, and can leave unimaginable time, energy and money for Jin Yufan.

Therefore, Hong Shengcheng did not mention his personal treatment, but Jin Yufan could not fail to mention it. After all, some things, at least in Jin Yufan's opinion, it is better for everyone to say frankly in advance and make it clear.

"Brother Shengcheng, since you are willing to join the company, then I will give you 10% of the company's shares as the company's legal representative, I hope you don't dislike it. ”

"Hehe, of course not. Thank you for your trust, I will definitely do my best to build our company into the top brokerage company in Korea. "Hong Shengcheng is indeed not an ambitious person, and Hong Shengcheng is already very satisfied with being able to own 10% of the new company.

Of course, Jin Yufan gave Hong Shengcheng 10% of the shares, not that Jin Yufan is stingy, in fact, 10% of the shares. It's not a lot, at least compared to the 22.08% stake owned by Hong Shengcheng himself in creating CUBE. Nothing more, no less.

You must know that in 2013, the CUBE brokerage company founded by Hong Seung-sung had just 10 billion won in total assets. And the agency company that Kim Yu-beom is now creating has spent nearly 10 billion won on the huge territory of the company's address alone, not to mention that there will be equipment and items worth almost 10 billion won in the future, and the value of the company's artists in the future.

That's it. It is conservatively estimated that it will reach 450 billion won, and even if it is 40 billion won, 10% of the shares of Hong Seung-sung will be able to get 4 billion won, which is twice as much as the 2,208% of the shares of CUBE that Hong Seung-sung founded himself.

Not to mention Jin Yufan for himself. For Hong Shengcheng, he has absolute confidence in the brokerage company. Coupled with knowing that there are many big events and popular works in the future, Jin Yufan firmly believes that if the company is really given a few years to develop, the value will definitely increase, and Wu Baiyi won is not placed in Jin Yufan's heart at all.

"Of course, I naturally believe in Brother Shengcheng's strength and ability, which is why I invite you to join my company so sincerely. However, Brother Shengcheng, our company is currently under construction, and although it has not been officially completed, I have already rented a temporary studio in Cheongdam-dong. I hope that Brother Shengcheng will do his best to solve the affairs with JYP and leave JYP early to manage the company. ”

"This is natural!" Thinking that the company that Jin Yufan said was under construction, Hong Shengcheng's calm face began to be a little excited.

Hong Shengcheng is very clear about the so-called place and scale of the new company's construction, because Jin Yufan told Hong Shengcheng before, in fact, Hong Shengcheng has watched the construction progress and situation of the new company on the roadside many times in private, and he can't help but sigh.

Hong Seung-sung admitted that the reason why he agreed to cooperate with Kim Yu-fan so readily was not only that he personally did not want to continue to stay in JYP, but also that Kim Yu-fan gave him absolute trust and power, and the huge scale of the new company was also a very important point.

Although the new company has not yet been completed, and Hong Shengcheng does not know much about the construction, but after seeing the area occupied by the new company, and Jin Yufan proudly said that the new company will reach at least 20 floors, which directly kills all the current brokerage companies in South Korea, at least in the area and floor height of the company's address.

Don't look at the S? The headquarters of Company M is not amazing, and it looks low-key and the feeling that the mountain is not high and there is a fairy. Nima's went to ask Li Xiuman, if he could, if the funds were sufficient, wouldn't Li Xiuman want S? M repairs more than a dozen floors and more than twenty floors, and only a few floors are indeed too petty.

As all Koreans, and even some foreigners who like the Korean Wave, say, the first time you see the Korean music overlord S? When I was in Company M, my first reaction was that someone was joking with me, it was hard to think that so many floors and some dilapidated places would be the overlord of the Korean music scene? The headquarters of Company M.

"Yu Fan, when I leave JYP, I will bring a group of very capable management talents and staff who have been following me, including some trainees who I am very optimistic about, what do you think, can you accept it?"

After being silent for a while, Hong Shengcheng asked with some hesitation, after all, Hong Shengcheng couldn't be sure of Jin Yufan's meaning and thoughts, such a big thing. Although Jin Yufan gave Hong Shengcheng absolute power to be responsible and deal with it, Hong Shengcheng, who knows how to be a person, still plans to ask Jin Yufan's views and opinions.

"How many people are there?" Holding back the excitement in his heart, Jin Yufan asked with a pretended calm face.

"There are about five good managers, and there are about a dozen or so very capable staff, and there are four other very good people. There are agents with a certain amount of experience, and the rest is a group of trainees who have great potential and I am very optimistic, about 20 or so. ”

"Almost forty, it's not a big problem, but relatively speaking, the temporary studio rented now is a bit small, I hope you can appease these people and wait for our new company building to be established. Just move in when the time comes. ”

"Hehe, there's absolutely no problem with that, since these people are willing to leave JYP with me, it proves their trust in me. I can definitely appease these people, not to mention that our new company is under construction, and you can also see it with your own eyes, as long as these people see the area and scale of our new company to the headquarters, they will definitely not have the idea of leaving. At most, it will take a year or so, and everyone will be a little aggrieved. Put up with it, and it's over. ”

Seeing that Jin Yufan did not refuse, Hong Shengcheng also laughed after breathing a sigh of relief, very happy. For these people who are willing to leave JYP with their future and are willing to work hard with themselves, Hong Shengcheng attaches great importance to them and is very moved.

Hong Shengcheng doesn't want to. When the time comes, he will negotiate with Jin Yufan and have a place to go, but these people who are willing to follow him are not accepted by Jin Yufan and have nowhere to go, then Hong Shengcheng will definitely die of guilt.

Therefore. The inquiry just now is also a temptation, Jin Yufan is willing to do everything OK, if he is unwilling, although he is very reluctant, Hong Shengcheng will also try his best to appease these people and continue to stay in JYP, so as not to be homeless and have no place to go, and then look for opportunities in the future to slowly pull these people to the new company.

As soon as he heard that Hong Shengcheng would take away more than 20 outstanding trainees of JYP, Jin Yufan's eyes also lit up. Jin Yufan admits that the reason why JYP has become the company with the most lost talents among the four major brokerage companies is not because JYP is not good and has management problems, but because Hong Shengcheng separated from JYP and directly took away a lot of trainee talents.

In this way, it seems that the most trainees have lost from JYP, and it also blinds everyone's eyes, but in the end, this is not the case.

It's just that Jin Yufan is not satisfied with Hong Shengcheng's statement that he will bring more than 20 excellent trainee seedlings from JYP.

At least Jin Yufan knew that Hong Shengcheng had brought these trainee seedlings, and the main skeleton was the future Beast and 4Mminute group members, although these more than 20 trainees almost all made the Beast and 4Minute combination reach Cheng DΓΉ, where only one person remained.

But Jin Yufan is not satisfied with this, especially because there are too many excellent trainee seedlings of JYP who know about it, and in terms of the success rate, it is definitely possible to kill the other three major brokerage companies in seconds.

There seem to be two people in Secret, three people in Sistar, and five people in APink!

Kim Woo-beom doesn't know why these members of these three groups didn't appear in CUBE when Hong Seung-sung left the self-reliance portal from JYP to create CUBE alone. Perhaps it was because CUBE didn't have so much money at the beginning of its construction, and there was no large territory and space, so in the end, it only retained some of the strongest trainees and formed the two strongest combinations.

But now it's different, there is Jin Yufan to guarantee the funds, even if you can't make any money for a while, at least you won't be starved to death.

What's more, now the new company is not the location of the building, the site and space are absolutely sufficient, not to mention more than 20 trainees, even if there are 200 trainees, Jin Yufan said to the construction team a little, the big deal is that all the five floors below the headquarters building are built to become the company's trainee training room, and it can be installed.

Thinking of this, Jin Yufan's eyes suddenly turned red: Mine, these trainees are all mine, all mine! Such a good opportunity and good time, Jin Yufan doesn't want to do his best to wield a hoe to dig these people over, and Jin Yufan himself will not forgive himself! Although these children are just trainees now, digging them up is equivalent to digging up the future!

When Jin Yufan told Hong Shengcheng about his thoughts, although Hong Shengcheng was very puzzled and didn't know where Jin Yufan learned about these trainees, he also expressed his concerns.

It's just that this time Jin Yufan waved his hand very domineeringly and said, money is not a problem, it is not a problem for these trainees to be unable to debut in a short time, I can afford it, now we should not look directly at the present, we should look at the future, as long as these trainees really have this strength and potential, I am also willing to invest in advance from now on.

In short, Jin Yufan's words are very simple, that is, there is no problem with money and territory. Now that the headquarters of the company building has not been completed, it is a big deal to spend money to rent a place as a studio, so that these trainees can be settled.

So, Hong Shengcheng didn't say anything anymore, not to mention that as the president of JYP, he has always been very concerned about the president of the trainees, and he knows the strength and seedlings of the JYP trainees, especially the trainees who can move and can't move.

In fact, among JYP's current trainees, almost except for the trainees who are almost certain to make their debut (2PM and 2AM), the rest of the trainees can move and dig.

Because once the double A group debuts, with the strength and ability of JYP, it will not be possible to launch a new combination in a short time, which is why many excellent trainees have switched to other brokerage companies.

There is no way, continue to stay in JYP, there is no possibility of debut in a few years, and time waits for no one, and powerful trainees can only choose to leave JYP and switch to other brokerage companies to seek debut opportunities.

JYPl trainee talent flows, that is, twice, once Hong Shengcheng took away a large group of independent portals, and the other group is divided into two stages, the first stage is that after the debut of the double A group, a large number of excellent difficult trainees of JYP left.

Then in 2010, MISSA debuted, and JYP left JYP with a large group of outstanding female trainees.

Because the trainees are not stupid, they naturally know that JYP has launched a double A combination and MISSA, and they will definitely not launch new combinations in a short period of time, plus they will not look for new debut opportunities, time waits for no one, and the older they are, the smaller the advantage and competitiveness, so they led a large number of excellent trainees of JYP to leave.

It turns out that the worries of these trainees who left JYP are not unreasonable, after the debut of MISSA, it took 4 years to wait for the new boy group GOT7 to debut, and as for the girl group, it is estimated that it will be almost 6 years later.

That trainee can be patient and wait for 4 to 6 years, it's impossible. This is also the biggest reason for the loss of talent among JYP trainees, and it is also the top management of JYP who know that the company currently has no strength and methods to launch new combinations, and they feel a little guilty and do not want to delay these excellent trainee seedlings, so they can only endure to let these trainees leave without stopping and trying to keep them.

But now, in Jin Yufan's very targeted roll call one by one, Hong Shengcheng patted his chest and said that there was no problem, and he would do his best to sweep away JYP's excellent trainees.

So, Jin Yufan laughed, squinted his eyes and began to look forward to who would appear in front of him in a few days after the successful combinations in the Korean music scene in the future. (To be continued......)
