Others don't know, but Chen Tianlang knows very well what this "HOT" Korean idol group is.

It can be said that this group is the ancestor of the future trend of Hallyu, and it is the first among the top Asian groups.

In fact, HOT is a boy group launched in 1996 by South Korea's SM Entertainment Co., Ltd. It is composed of five members: Moon Hee-jun, Jang Woo-hyuk, Ahn Seung-ho, Ahn Qi-hyun, and Lee Jae-won. Since his debut, he has dominated the Korean music scene, and in the future, he will dominate Asia and influence the world.

In September 1996, . T released his first album "e Hate", the title song "Warrior's Offspring". One of T's biggest features: Against all violence! The first album sold over a million people.

In July 1997, . T's second album "OLF" came out, surpassing the million mark within 10 days.

Even if Chen Tianlang is not a Hahan figure, on the contrary, he has always despised these Korean sticks, but I have to admit that South Korea's SM company does have a set in terms of star-making, especially this HOT combination, which is the most successful combination.

Chen Tianlang didn't know that he once went to South Korea to talk about business in his previous life, and when he talked about this group, a friend in South Korea told Chen Tianlang a secret, that is, this Korean group made almost 80 billion won for SM Company, which is converted into RMB and almost 480 million profits.

For Chen Tianlang, nothing is attractive to make money, as long as this HOT is a baby, he has to get it.

But Chen Tianlang also knows that this group will only debut next year, and now it is still the secret weapon of the SM company, and it may be a lot more difficult for him to get them from the hands of the SM company, but the more difficult it is, the more challenging it is, not to mention the interesting thing of cutting off the Korean stick.

……

After a day of rest in the hotel, Chen Tianlang was bored, and after reading a book of "Warring States Policy", Chen Tianlang called SM Company, one of the largest entertainment companies in South Korea, on the third day of his arrival in Seoul.

After receiving Chen Tianlang's call, the other party transferred to the public relations department, and after chatting with the people in the public relations department for a few minutes, the other party was a little interested in Chen Tianlang's plan, and asked Chen Tianlang to go to their company for an interview in the afternoon, and the person who received him would be the deputy manager of the public relations department of SM company.

After learning of this result, Charlie Chen was extremely indignant, "Pu Ta Eminem, he actually only sent a deputy manager of the public relations department to receive him, he looks down on people too much." Aaron, don't go, we can't afford to lose that man. ”

Hong Yi, who is in charge of external relations, apologized desperately, "It is the negligence of our Ministry of Foreign Cooperation, and this kind of work should be discussed by our Ministry of Foreign Cooperation." Why shouldn't Mr. Chen be contacted directly. Otherwise, Mr. Chen would not have been humiliated like this. ”

Chen Tianlang glanced at the two of them inexplicably, and said with a smile: "Your mentality is not right. Compared to other SMs, we are a small company, small shrimp, and it is right for people to send a deputy manager to receive them, and we are now at a level. ”

"You know, there are actually only a few famous entertainment companies in Hong Kong now, Golden Harvest, Yongsheng, Shaw Brothers, who else? This can also motivate us and motivate us to work hard. I believe that in the near future, we can get the Korean government to send a minister to the airport to pick us up. ”

Charlie Chen shook his head helplessly, "I can't tell you! Since the South Korean side is basically settled, let's follow you to see how you are diplomatic, and I hope to learn from you!

The little follower Hong Yi smiled and nodded repeatedly, "That's! That is! After studying, it will definitely help us greatly improve our business ability! So, I will hold on to the opportunity to study hard!"

……

At noon, the five of them had a happy lunch together, during which Hong Yi accidentally suggested that everyone go to the street, saying that the Korean customs street was first-class, and was despised by the collective. After lunch, Chen Tianlang arranged for Ding Peng and Bai Siwen to accompany Charlie Chen to a Korean game company for the final signing. He took Hongyi and drove to the SM headquarters.

After arriving at SM, Chen Tianlang knew what it was called, SM is worthy of being one of the top entertainment companies in South Korea, its headquarters is a cupola building with more than 40 floors, and a quarter of the rooms in the entire building are used by SM Group, and the other three-quarters are rented.

"It's really wealthy!" Looking at the towering headquarters building, Hong Yi couldn't help but sigh with emotion, "It would be good if our company had such a building when it happened." ”

Chen Tianlang smiled disappreciatively, "Manager Hong, your ambition is too small. ”

After speaking, Chen Tianlang ignored Hong Yi's surprised eyes and strode into the SM Group.

In fact, Chen Tianlang did not tell Hong Yi that as far as he knew, SM Company did not actually hang it like this, and this building was not SM Company, and SM Company also leased Mitutoyo Group. South Korea's Mitutoyo Group is the largest company. Just like Hong Kong's Li Ka-shing's Cheung Kong Asset, it is famous. People see that Hong Yi is from Hong Kong, so they boast that this building belongs to SM Company, and like many Hong Kong entertainment companies, they are all pulling tiger skin as a banner.

……

Chen Tianlang was received by Jin Yonglan, deputy manager of the public relations department of SM Group. This is a woman in her early thirties, a typical professional woman, who speaks sonorously and forcefully in a suit. All in all, it still looks very comfortable, the only thing that Chen Tianlang is not very used to is her nose, which looks too much like some female movie stars in future Korean TV dramas, "Cosmetic surgeons are too unprofessional, and they make everyone's nose exactly the same." ”

Chen Tianlang muttered in his heart, but Jin Yonglan was smiling at him and stretched out his hand, "Hello Mr. Chen." ”

Jin Yonglan's politeness made Chen Tianlang feel a little rude, the nose is a private matter of others, how do you manage other people's cuts, it's really three-eight. After condemning himself in his heart, Chen Tianlang also stretched out his hand to Jin Yonglan, "Hello Miss Jin." I'm really bothering you to take time out of your busy schedule to talk to us. ”

"Mr. Chen, your Korean is great. ”

"Thank you for the compliment. ”

Not only Jin Yonglan, but also Hong Yi was impressed by Chen Tianlang in an instant. Although he had long heard that Chen Tianlang's foreign language was good, he didn't expect Chen Tianlang's Korean to be so standard.

Hong Yi has been with Charlie Chen for many years, because the most contact with the clothing business is Koreans, no way, Korean clothing brands, and clothing design is too hanging, so Hong Yi used to often follow Charlie Chen to South Korea, in order to facilitate work, he has been learning Korean for two years, but he is still only a half-ass, I didn't expect his boss's boss, Chen Tianlang, who is busy every day, to speak such a standard fluent in Korean, which is really unexpected by Hong Yi.

"Okay, we don't have to say polite words, let's get down to business now, how about it?"

"Mr. Chen is really fast-talking, and since that's the case, well, I'm also eager to know Mr. Chen's plan. ”

Chen Tianlang smiled, took out a series of plans and scripts in the Korean version from his briefcase, and began to explain them in detail to Kim Yonglan.

Although Chen Tianlang tried his best to explain the plan in the most concise and concise language, he still explained it from 1 p.m. to nearly 5 p.m., and it took about four hours to completely explain his plan.

In fact, Chen Tianlang's plan is very simple, that is, Chen Tianlang gave SM two choices, first, directly buy out and "HOT" Combination, Chen Tianlang's Caixing company is willing to take out 1 billion won, about 6 million yuan, to buy out this male idol group that has not yet debuted; according to Chen Tianlang, this group has not yet debuted, even if all the expenses invested in the Korean side are calculated, it only costs about 1 million yuan, and now the color star company is willing to take out 6 million, which is equivalent to SM company's direct profit of 5 million, this kind of transaction is absolutely cost-effective.

The second option is that Playmates is willing to cooperate with SM, knowing that there are some difficulties in leasing the rent of Mitutoyo Group's buildings by SM Entertainment, so Playmates is willing to invest 3 million to buy 30% of SM's equity, and Playmates will only enjoy future dividends and dividends, and will not participate in SM's strategic operations.

After listening to Chen Tianlang's plan, Jin Yonglan sat in his seat and was speechless for a long time.

First of all, in the first choice, Kim Yonglan was surprised how Chen Tianlang knew the details of SM's secret weapon "HOT" so well, and knew that this group would debut next year. In addition, the 6 million acquisition promised by Chen Tianlang is 1 billion won when converted into Korean won, and 1 billion won is not a small amount. This made her can't help but be moved when she heard it.

Secondly, in the second option, Jin Yonglan was surprised that Chen Tianlang knew the financial situation of SM Company. That's right, the current SM company is forced by Mitutoyo Company to have no choice in terms of rent, because to cultivate new people, these early stages have to invest money and have no returns, so SM companies are already trying to cut back on food and clothing. Chen Tianlang's 3 million, which is equivalent to 500 million won's shares, is also a big temptation.

After thinking about it for a long time, Jin Yonglan said to Chen Tianlang: "Mr. Chen's suggestion is very creative and bold, and I personally appreciate and admire it very much, but it is really difficult to promise you anything for such a big plan at my level." So, if Mr. Chen is willing, I can arrange for you to meet with our Vice President for External Partnerships as soon as possible. ”

"Chen is very honored. ”

"Then please go back first, I'll call you as soon as possible, okay?" Jin Yonglan involuntarily used a respectful tone, and no longer dared to underestimate a young man like Chen Tianlang.

"Okay. Chen Tianlang stood up with a smile.

"Excuse me, what is your phone number, Mr. Chen?"

"I don't have a mobile phone number because I'm on a business trip, it's my hotel's phone number. Chen Tianlang said and wrote down a few numbers on the paper.

After seeing the numbers written by Chen Tianlang, Jin Yonglan actually laughed.

"I wonder why Miss Kim is laughing?"

"Coincidentally, this room used to be the long private room of our company, and I used to work here with our vice president. So this phone number is very familiar to me. ”

"Oh, yes? If it's such fate, then we should have no problem working together. Chen Tianlang smiled and stretched out his hand to Jin Yonglan.

Jin Yonglan replied with a smile: "I think so too. ”

……

Back at the hotel, Charlie Chen and Ding Bai did not come back, presumably to accompany the Koreans out to drink wine. So Chen Tianlang took Hong Yi to eat casually in the hotel restaurant, and the two of them chatted by the way, Chen Tianlang taught Hong Yi some experience in learning languages or something.

Because they knew that Jin Yonglan might call at any time, the two of them didn't eat well, so they hurriedly stuffed something into their mouths and hurried upstairs.

As a result, when they came to the door of the room, they saw two people standing at the door waiting for them, one of whom was Jin Yonglan.

"Miss Kim, why are you ......?"

"As soon as you leave, I will report to President Li. As a result, President Li was very interested in Mr. Chen's plan after hearing the beginning, so almost you walked on the front foot, and we followed on the back foot. Because we are familiar with this place, we found it ourselves. As a result, you weren't there, and no one listened to your calls. ”

"I'm sorry, we just had a bite to eat at the restaurant below. Chen Tianlang said, his eyes moving to another woman. From the most objective and calm point of view, Chen Tianlang believes that this is one of the most beautiful women he has ever seen, this kind of beauty is not described by what height and white skin can be described, but a kind of temperament beauty, "This must be Li ......"

"Li Xuan'er!" Li Xuan'er, vice president of SM, took Chen Tianlang's words and said with a smile.

To Chen Tianlang's surprise, Li Xuan'er spoke pure Chinese.

Hong Yi on the side looked straight with his eyes, and after staring straight for a few minutes, Hong Yi said to himself in his heart: "Wow, it doesn't look like it was made from plastic surgery, but how can it be...... I thought we were the only ones in Hong Kong who had beautiful women!

Chen Tianlang was not shocked by Li Xuan'er's beauty at all, he had seen too many Korean beauties in his previous life, what Choi Ji-woo, Song Qiaohui, Kim Tae-hee, Han Jia-jin, and Jun Ji-hyun, etc., Chen Tianlang has long been immune to the beauty of Korean women.

"President Li, can I ask you a little question?" Chen Tianlang said with a smile.

"Excuse me. ”

"As we all know, the president of South Korea's SM company should be Mr. Lee so-man, I wonder what is the relationship between Miss Lee and Chairman Lee?"

This question is very bold, and only Chen Tianlang dares to ask.

Li Xuan'er's beautiful eyes flickered, "Then I also want to ask you a question." ”

"Excuse me. ”

"How did you know that the HOT group will debut next year? Also, how did you know about our debt entanglement with Mitutoyo Group?"

Chen Tianlang smiled, and then said: "I like South Korea very much, especially the kind of information company in South Korea, as long as the price is right, you can inquire about anything!"

Li Xuan'er smiled, and then said to Chen Tianlang, "I am Chairman Li's niece!"

Damn, it turns out to be a family business again!
