Chapter 450: Cooperation and Struggle

The headquarters of Lotte Korea is located in an office building near the south gate of the city (district). Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

After the kidnapping incident last time, Xin Dongbin just took people to Lotte World for emergency treatment. The place where he is really stationed for a long time is still here, not on the Songpa (district) side.

After returning to the company in the afternoon, Minoru Yamashita reported the progress to Xin Dongbin as soon as possible, and Xin Dongbin asked some questions, but did not show any attitude of his own. Afterwards, Yamashita returned to his office on another floor with trepidation and took care of his own affairs.

When I received Liu Kewei's call, it was already after work time--because I had been delayed for some time when I went to Chengda before, and I had accumulated a little more official business, so Yamashita stayed in the office for a while.

Liu Kewei didn't talk about it on the phone, but said that he was in some trouble there, and asked Yamashita if he could go to the tea house.

Minoru Yamashita's first reaction was - could it be that Rakuten Japan began to retaliate against Liu Kewei so soon?

He didn't dare to slack off, so he went to Xin Dongbin's office to report. However, he didn't dare to put forward his speculation as Liu Kewei's meaning, but honestly said that Liu Kewei was looking for him, saying that he needed help with something.

Xin Dongbin silently bowed his head to indicate that he knew, and he didn't even turn his head from his desk.

So Yamashita actually understood that Xin Xing's meaning was probably to let him go and see the situation first, and then come to him when he had more specific information.

The straight-line distance from Namdaemun to Congshanjae Tea House is about three kilometers, which is a little farther than Dongdaemun, but it is not far away.

Twenty minutes later, while pondering what happened to Liu Kewei finding him again so quickly, he pushed open the door of the private room, and then the assistant was a little dumbfounded.

On the left hand side of Yoo Kewei is Song Joong Ki, who also had a relationship with him when he filmed "RunningMan" last time, and on the right hand is Moon Geun Young, who greeted him in the big restaurant at noon, and on the other side of Moon Geun Young sat a young girl who bowed her head and said nothing.

These four people sat on one side, and on both sides were Cai Pingping and Xia Ruoying, who served as friends of "RunningMan" with Liu Kewei.

What is the situation? Song Joong Ki and Moon Geun Young are both well-known artists, so it looks like the six of you are eating together, but why did you call me over?

So Yamashita greeted them politely one by one, and when he sat down cross-legged on the opposite side of Liu Kewei, he still had a little fifteen buckets of water in his heart—seven up and eight down.

"Kewei, you just came to me, is there something wrong?"

"Brother Shi, let me introduce you, these are all my closest relatives - this is Brother Song Joong Ki, one of the MCs of "RunningMan", ......"

Liu Kewei smiled but didn't answer, and introduced the others to Yamashita on his own.

It's easy to wait for him to finish his introduction, but he sends a recipe over, and earnestly asks Yamashita what he really wants to eat.

Yamashita really cried and laughed and ordered a few snacks at random, Liu Kewei handed the recipe to Ruo Sakura, who took the recipe and went out, Liu Kewei mysteriously handed over something.

took a look, it turned out to be two portable headphones, and the other end was connected to a mobile phone on the table in front of Liu Kewei.

At Liu Kewei's signal, Yamashita put the headphones into his ears blankly.

Liu Kewei smiled and clicked a few times on his mobile phone.

This afternoon, he secretly recorded the conversation with the deputy chief of Rakuten Kawa, and now he candidly and directly listens to it to Yamashita Minoru.

As a person who has been in the game development industry for seven years, Liu Kewei has his own experience on how to grasp the scale of "cooperation and struggle" in interpersonal communication.

Even if you have to "threaten" the Lotte Group a little bit in the future, it should not give the other party any illusion that you want to fall to Rakuten, otherwise it will not be a relationship of "cooperation and struggle", but will become an opposing camp that completely tears your face.

In other words, Liu Kewei hopes that in the eyes of Lotte Group, he can be a collaborator who can "fight for".

Sure enough, after listening to this recording, Yamashita immediately smiled.

Liu Kewei fulfilled his previous promise, and on the premise of not asking for anything in return from South Korea's Rakuten, he clearly rejected the olive branch handed to him by Rakuten Japan.

"Ke Wei, you have done this very beautifully! Brother, I admit your affection, if there is anything you need help in the future, just open your mouth to me!"

In the eyes of Song Joong Ki, Moon Geun Young and Hyo Min, they didn't know what Liu Kewei had taught each other, so they saw the assistant under the mountain happily patting his chest and playing the package ticket, as if he was in a very happy mood.

"Really, to be honest, there is really one thing now, and I may need your help, brother!"

Liu Kewei said meaningfully.

In Yamashita's stunned gaze, Liu Kewei briefly described the situation encountered by Xiaomin in the crew of "Parasite"......

"Ke Wei, what ......is the relationship between this Xiao Minxi and you?"

After frowning and listening to Liu Kewei's introduction, Yamashita's puzzled eyes swirled back and forth between Liu Kewei and Xiaomin.

"It's a classmate, it's a neighbor, it's a relative. Liu Kewei replied.

"Ah, is that so? This matter might be a bit of a problem...... Although Lotte Pictures is also a subsidiary of our Lotte Group, it is a relatively independent subsidiary, and the people in charge are President Shin Heon-shin Nim and Cha Wenchun Che Representative Nim. The specific business work of Lotte Pictures has never been asked by the group headquarters......"

The assistant Yamashita rolled his eyes and explained with a wry smile.

Subsidiaries are also different from each other, and if the business scope is similar or even overlapping with the head office, it is usually subject to more administrative intervention and "business guidance" from the head office.

For example, the game companies that were acquired by Naxon basically belong to this type.

However, if the business scope of the subsidiary is very different from that of the head office, the status will often appear to be more independent - for example, Hyomin's CCM, whose main business is idol artists, is quite different from the Mnet TV station to which the company belongs, so it will appear to be more independent.

Lotte Pictures, which is mainly engaged in film production and distribution, is in a similar situation with the Lotte Group.

President Shen and Mr. Che have much more say than the heads of Naxon's subsidiaries and branches.

It is not for a big man like Xin Dongbin Xin to come forward in person, otherwise it is difficult to interfere with their business decisions.

Do you think that in your own status, you are qualified to let His Excellency Xin take the lead for you?

Regarding the attempt revealed by Liu Kewei, Yamashita was very dismissive in his heart.

P.S. was just asked about the progress of the recent blind date by the prototype of Cha Guanglong, and he was delayed for a few minutes...... (To be continued.) )
