ps: Still owe 4 more......

――――I am the dividing line of anxiety――――

"Ai Hui, someone inside the company intends to terminate the cooperation with us?!" The first sentence heard from Bao'er's mouth made Li Xiuman, who was full of tiredness, completely understand. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info "Why?"

"I don't know. Bao'er frowned at one side of her eyes and shook her head a little helplessly. "It seems to be the turmoil that suddenly appeared in the past two days, but the news is undoubted, because this morning, Vice Chairman Chiba Ryuhei directly and publicly expressed such a demand, and his reason is still the same thing as TVXQ last year......"

Li Xiuman froze slightly.

"Oh, and the words Warner and JYJ come up, and the questioning of our company's control, and ......," Boa said impatiently as she spoke. "I don't remember clearly, the staff members who told me were too fragmentary, in fact, in my opinion, these are just making excuses, and these series of things about TVXQ that Ai Hui can't accept the most is the cost of blocking. Warners tore their faces almost openly, and they didn't care about the rules of the industry, which put them under a lot of pressure. And the Japanese fan base is very loyal, and after JYJ got the release channel through Warner South Korea, these people are basically lost, and ...... After all, this matter seems morally untenable...... Anyway, I've been saying this for a long time, I just think that Ai Hui shouldn't affect Japan's business because of things outside Japan!"

"That's actually why I chose Ai Hui when I came to Japan. Li Xiuman immediately calmed down. "Because Ai Hui is an independent music production company, they will not encroach on the Korean market, and we can support each other back to back on a day-to-day basis. But Warner and Universal are different, they are big international record companies, and they are reaching out everywhere in the world, just like the Korean Warner thing this time. Of course, Ai Hui's attitude is not unexpected, but I brought Girls' Generation and Shinee this time to tell them that it is still profitable to cooperate with us...... But...... But I didn't expect them to get impatient so quickly, which was beyond my expectations!"

"So what now?" asked Bo'er worriedly. "Why don't you go to Katsuto Matsuura again and talk about the friendship between the two sides for so many years?"

"What about talking?" Li Xiu, who had regained his composure, was full of light. "Katsuto Matsuura is a man who talks about friendship? He only has interests in his eyes! If he really stabbed us at the most critical time last year? He felt that when the interests were reached, he would naturally do it, and if he felt that it would not work, he would naturally not do it. More critically...... Only the two of them know what the entanglement of interests between Chiba Ryuhei and him is, so we don't know who Chiba Ryuhei's statement was instructed and what it does. ”

"That'...... Just click on it and tell him that Girls' Generation will help them make money?"

"There's no need. Li Xiuman shook his head. "My heart is clear, and Matsuura Katsuto's heart must be clear, he must understand this truth, so when we meet again tomorrow, I will urge him and persuade him to make a decision quickly, and he will definitely understand." Anyway, this thing can't go on!"

Bao'er nodded again and again: "That's true, it's the most important thing not to delay time." ”

After saying that, Bao'er sat down and lowered her head, and didn't say anything more.

Li Xiuman also sat there and thought for a while, he was puzzled by this out-of-control situation, obviously he had not received any corresponding omen before, but the attitudes of the two leaders of Ai Hui, Matsuura Katsuto and Chiba Ryuhei, were suddenly a little wrong...... However, after thinking about it, Li Xiuman found nothing, after all, Japan is Japan, not South Korea, which he has been running for decades, and his tentacles can be found up and down......

"Teacher. ”

Li Xiuman, who was thinking of a headache, suddenly reacted, and Bao'er seemed to have something to say.

"What's the matter, is there anything else?"

"Teacher......" Bao'er sighed faintly. "It's been 10 years since I debuted......"

"I know. Li Xiuman's heart jumped, to be honest, he was frightened by Bao'er's tone and words.

It is said that Park Jin-young originally regarded Min Xianyi as his daughter, and now he continues to treat that Pei Xiuzhi as his daughter, but in fact, it is just spoiled, and the real daughter-in-law is only the female apprentice brought out by an uncle like them who came out to start a business since childhood! For example, Katsuto Matsuura and Ayumi Hamasaki, such as himself and Bao'er...... This is the real inheritance of teachers and students plus halfway father and daughter, and whether it is Bao'er to S.M, or Ayumi Hamasaki to Ai Hui, they all have a strategic position...... Basically, if she asks for something, you can't refuse, and it's hard to even bargain.

However, of course, Bao'er didn't propose anything that made it difficult for Li Xiuman, she just talked about her first two years with a little emotion.

Since the end of last year, Bao'er has been active in Japan for most of the first half of the year, although it is only a two-hour flight, and the two sides are also familiar with it, but it is almost impossible to communicate with each other to take each other home and let their wives cook as before. So, even if it was a little foggy, Li Xiuman had no reason not to listen to the other party's words that were similar to complaints.

"Teacher, I'm going back to Korea to prepare my 10th anniversary album, and to be honest, I'm a little tired. After talking for a while, Bao'er suddenly reiterated her intention to retreat.

Li Xiuman opened his mouth but didn't refute anything, this little girl came out at the age of 14 to fight the world for S.M, it has been ten years, she is tired when she is tired, she can rest if she wants to, and this is really not the first time that the other party has shown such thoughts, and he has been prepared...... But slowly, Li Xiuman noticed some hints in Bao'er's words.

"Actually, I'm only 25. Bao'er looked at the open doorway, then pointed to that side. "Many of those children are my good friends, and I am very good friends with Su-yeon and Yoon-hee, who is filming in South Korea...... But when they were thinking about stepping out, I was already thinking about retreating, and that's why ......."

"It's the problem of the first two years. Li Xiuman knew it. "You're already one of Japan's top singers, and you're a representative of Hallyu culture in Korea, but it's ...... to go to the United States. Or do I take it for granted......"

"Don't blame the teacher. Boa shook her head. "After all, it's a cultural barrier, after all, it's a racial difference, after all, it's a completely different new world, not to mention anything else, it's impossible to change my Japanese-Korean mixed English, so failure is failure. ”

Li Xiuman sighed, he really didn't want to mention this matter more. It is said that Park Jinying was dizzy when he sent wondergirls to the United States, and he was indeed dizzy, but that mainly refers to the fact that Park Orangutan was too anxious and did not lay a good foundation and a way back for wondergirls, not that he was dizzy when he went to the United States.

In fact, going to the U.S. is the ultimate goal of all Korean brokerage firms.

So, during the period when Wondergirls was crumbling in the United States but the public opinion atmosphere of the Korean Wave entering the United States was still there, S.M Company gritted its teeth and sent Bao'er, the invincible housekeeper, to the United States, and after all, it is the largest economic company in South Korea, plus Bao'er itself has a stable back road and outstanding standards, so from signing a CAA to expensive MV production, from the selection of English songs to the partners, of course, it is indispensable to throw money in the media, anyway, I don't know how much it cost...... However, one year and eight months of hard work can only be exchanged for Bao'er's initial retreat. In a sense, she's not even as good as Wondergirls' achievements, after all, they were on the billboard as soon as they started.

And then again, the reason why Li Xiuman believes that Jin Zhongming's Japanese songs are not good, in fact, is here, the language barrier is too heavy, if Jin Zhongming writes Chinese songs or English songs, maybe he Li Xiuman will be very vigilant.

But......

"Bao'er, what do you mean......" Li Xiuman lowered his head and rubbed the sore bags under his eyes. "There's still a chance for Girls' Generation, isn't it? Sika and Pani are both Americans, and we should consider all this from the direction of future development? Europe and the United States...... So you're implicitly suggesting that I choose a global record label to run them in a unified way, rather than Ai Hui? Brokerage company fragmentation is a big problem, Girls' Generation is our pillar, and going abroad is inevitable...... I do know your opinion. ”

Bao'er nodded and got up to say goodbye, just say it.

"You came up with it yourself?" When Bao'er walked to the door, Li Xiuman suddenly asked.

"Sort of. Of course, Bao'er didn't hide anything from Li Xiuman. "But more than that. Last week, when I went back to Korea, I chatted with Yoon-hee at the company for a while, and when I said that I was going to Japan as a girl, we talked about entering Europe and the United States...... Talked about a lot. ”

Li Xiuman nodded, and the last trace of doubt in his heart was basically gone. In fact, he has been moved by Bao'er's words to a considerable extent in his heart, and from the other party's point of view, this lesson is real. In the long run, it is indeed necessary to choose a large economic company that can be planned as a whole for the development of Europe and the United States, rather than a place and a pitfall...... For example, Ai Hui is only in Japan.

Boa left the hotel, and across the Izu area of Sagami Bay and the Miura Peninsula, Kim Jong-myung finally finished his recuperation in the hot springs.

Uh, slip on a loose Japanese robe and grab a can of beer...... But as soon as he walked near the porch, one of the several assistants who had been sitting and drinking and eating nearby stood up, it was Jia Chao, who came over and told Jin Zhongming something.

"Han Shenghao's ...... I'm still a little anxious. Jin Zhongming was slightly unhappy. "It's too anxious, what should I do if Li Xiuman is vigilant?"

"Probably not. Jia Chao unexpectedly explained for the other party. "He said that Matsuura's attitude in today's negotiations was a bit problematic, and he felt that it was more normal to react while the iron was hot......

"......" Jin Zhongming was silent for a while. "Katsuto Matsuura has never seen him, but is he the kind of person who can be easily shaken?

Of course, Jia Chao didn't know what was going on, but someone knew.

So back to Katsuto Matsuura, when it comes to Katsuto Matsuura, when it comes to Katsuto Matsuura, you have to talk about Ayumi Hamasaki, and when you talk about Ayumi Hamasaki, you have to talk about Katsuto Matsuura, the story between these two people is simply wonderful, a bit like Bao'er and Lee Xiuman, but it's a little more complicated and deeper.

The age gap between Bao'er and Li Xiuman is too big, and there is no problem with the father-daughter master-apprentice relationship in general, so what about Matsuura Katsuto and Ayumi Hamasaki? The father-daughter relationship is definitely there, but it is more than that, the righteousness of the master and apprentice is definitely there, but it is not more.

In short, if you are not a professional researcher of feelings and psychology, it is difficult to analyze the relationship between these two people thoroughly.

However, there is another one, that is, unlike Bao'er's relatively low participation in the internal struggle of S.M, Ayumi Hamasaki is by no means just an artist for Ai Hui. The reason is simple, in the Matsuura Katsuto incident that caused a sensation in Japan that year, Ayumi Hamasaki played a decisive role.

Well, the reason for this incident is actually very bloody and very common, and basically modern enterprises have encountered it more or less since the new century.

In other words, on Children's Day in 1973, Katsuto Matsuura, who was only 9 years old at the time, set an ambition to start a music business. For nine out of ten people in this world, this kind of Children's Day fantasy is generally forgotten after a year, and the few who remember it will forget nine out of ten after five or six years...... Even if there are a few people who remember this ideal and are still working hard to develop there, nine times out of ten they will encounter all kinds of practical difficulties and have to give up. However, the reason why Katsuto Matsuura is great is that when he just stepped into society 14 years later, he began to fulfill his ambition according to his own design blueprint!

That's right, in 1987, at the age of 23, Katsuto Matsuura started a business in Machida City, Tokyo, with a few employees, and then registered a corporation to import records, and then raised funds and developed ...... Out of control, this is where the only independent music production company among the four major record labels in Japan comes from.

Well, there's such a thing as financing...... Anyway, in 04, the Japanese entertainment industry bigwig, Tatsumi Ita, who was involved in everything from movies to records, became the chairman and president of the company, and this old man actually obtained the actual control of the company in the form of capital.

Of course, Tatsumi Ita has to make movies and become an official, and he has to mediate a gangster conflict or something like that, anyway, it is impossible for this big man to personally manage the company, so the second shareholder, Chiba Ryuhei, became the president and was responsible for daily administrative affairs, while Katsuto Matsuura, as the executive director, is still fully responsible for all its artists.

It's not impossible to live a good life like this, after all, it's best not to have a direct dialogue between capital and entrepreneurs, and it's easy to get into trouble! But Yitian Xun didn't know what nerves to make, and suddenly remembered to run the company himself in 04. Later...... What happened later was like a wonderful palace fighting drama!

On the one hand, there is a cunning but powerful chaebol boss, and on the other hand, there is a young but talented entrepreneur, this classic duel mode has been staged in various companies around the world many times, but every process of completely separating the winner is very exciting!

I won't say much about the specifics, but overall, there are three main winners and losers.

The first is that Ayumi Hamasaki, who was at his peak at that time, led almost all the Ai Hui artists to support their mentor, which is very important, because at that time, Katsuto Matsuura was caught off guard and submitted his resignation angrily, whether he was really angry or he had a plan I don't know, but if Ayumi Hamasaki had not stabbed out this matter as a diva, Katsuto Matsuura had nothing to do with the company he founded at that time!

Secondly, it is the defection of Chiba Ryuhei, one of the troikas, this guy who was born as a filmmaker first undoubtedly stood on the side of Tatsumi Ita, who also has a deep background in films, and accepted Tatsumi Itada's proposal to fire Katsuto Matsuura as the head of the administration, but in the end I don't know what happened...... Anyway, he turned against him, and from the perspective of the administrative structure and the justice of the board of directors, he reserved the stage and channel for Katsuto Matsuura to compete.

Finally, there is the pressure of public opinion across the board. Yi Tian Xun, an old man, didn't understand that he had already occupied an absolute advantage in terms of name and equity, and that it was just a pure, hand-held internal affair of the company, so why did NHK follow up and report on it all the way? Why did public opinion across the country call for capital to be restrained? Why did all political parties discuss whether to put a cage on the chaebol? Why did all the business partners think that he didn't know how to be a low-key person? Why did the whole world say that he was a garbage who robbed other people's wealth?

Why did Nippon Cable Broadcasting, a semi-official organization, come out and buy shares in the company and throw itself down?!

Isn't this company mine? I paid for it, I have the lion's share, shouldn't it listen to me?

There is no answer to this question for the chaebol, but no matter what, in the end, under the pressure of the whole Japanese society, Ita Tatsumi gave up his involvement in Ai Hui, and finally only retained the position of honorary president, and then ...... Then the company felt like it was a big deal, and it returned to Matsuura Katsuto.

This event also became a milestone event for modern Japanese enterprises, and since then, the capital pressure of the Japanese chaebol on new entrepreneurs has basically been maintained in the category of profit-seeking......

However, it is worth mentioning that only a few years later, the little equity owned by the defective Chiba Ryuhei was integrated into the company through a series of complex operations...... The initiator is called Katsuto Matsuura!

"So Ayumi Hamasaki?" Kim Jong-ming, who was sitting on the edge of the courtyard corridor drinking beer and talking on the phone, pouted, and standing tall not far away was Zhang Chengwen, who seemed familiar with the Japanese side of the company. "So...... Is this a good thing or a bad thing?"

"It's a good thing. The man across from him replied in stiff English. "Our company doesn't owe Ayumi Hamasaki anything, but Katsuto Matsuura owes Ayumi Hamasaki too much, when Ayumi Hamasaki was in 04 years because of interference in the company's affairs, the popularity of Ayumi Hamasaki declined, and then when she was about to get up again, she had a problem with her ears, otherwise Ayumi Hamasaki's achievements are definitely more than that!"

"So Katsuto Matsuura will choose to support Ayumi Hamasaki no matter what?" Kim Jong-ming simply asked the key to the question.

"Yes. The other party's answer was simple and straightforward. "No matter how the two of them communicate and discuss in private, Katsuto Matsuura will eventually agree to Ayumi Hamasaki's request!

"Please repeat what you just said......" Jin Zhongming looked up at the moon thoughtfully.

"From the end of July, we will release 3 singles in the form of alternate weeks, and if the results are not good, we will release a new album before the end of the year!"

"I remember...... She released an album at the beginning of the year, followed by forty concert tours and ...... And what I forgot...... Isn't she tired? Why is she so anxious?" Jin Zhongming was a little puzzled.

"It's been 12 years since she debuted, and it's normal for her popularity to be unstable, and it's understandable to be eager. The person on the other side sighed. "And this time it has something to do with Kara and girls' generation......"

"What are you kidding?" scoffed. "Although my sister is in girlhood, but who is Ayumi Hamasaki?

"She's not thinking about these specific people. The other party explained seriously. "What she cares about is the four words 'group idol' in the context of her loss of appeal 12 years after her debut, not only kara and girls' generation, but more importantly AKB48 and Arashi!"

Jin Zhongming suddenly realized: "Do you want to regain glory? What a great musician!"

"Yes, despite the different factions. The male voice on the other side seemed to sigh again. "But I still have to admit that Ayumi Hamasaki is Ayumi Hamasaki, whether she is deaf or emotionally frustrated, but she has never stopped pursuing music! Although this eagerness will outweigh the losses, it will make all the people involved, including Katsuto Matsuura, dissatisfied, and even bored the people at the bottom of the company, but from the perspective of a bystander, she is really amazing!"

"But...... Are you a bystander?" Jin Zhongming felt that the previous atmosphere was amused by the other party's last words.

"I've been a bystander for a long time. The man on the other side was silent for a long time before he spoke. Mr. Jin Zhongming...... I want to ask you an additional question, since you have the intention of meddling, with your financial resources, are you really not interested in Ai Hui?"

"Not being tempted is fake. Kim Jong Ming grinned. "But...... To be honest, I'm very scared of Katsuto Matsuura, he and Li Xiuman are all the way, what if I can't eat mutton and get into a commotion? What's more, my purpose this time is just to win the exclusive contract of Girls' Generation...... If your heart is too big, you will only be greedy and chew too much. ”

"It's fine. The other party was silent again for a while. "But...... Back to the point, if Ayumi Hamasaki's pressure caused the company to have to smash all its resources on her...... Then things seem to be much easier...... Do our previous promises count?"

"Ayumi Hamasaki came out with a nice surprise, but all I wanted was the result. Jin Zhongming said with a smile. "So, as long as Ai Hui rejects the Girls' Generation contract, regardless of the method and process, isn't that the ...... "Very Dancer" at that time? Is that the name? Uh, the dance movie with Kim Jun-so?"

"Yes!" the other party instinctively said in Japanese.

"When the negotiations break down over there, when the film will immediately pass censorship in South Korea and Chinese mainland!" Kim Jong-ming also became serious. "On the Korean side, I personally greeted them, and on the Chinese side, I also had a few partners who happened to owe me a favor but had a close relationship with Mr. Han of China Film...... So, I'll do what I say, Mr. Ryuhei Chiba?"

"Thank you!" said the other party in Korean. "I wish you a pleasant trip to Japan!"

"Goodbye. Jin Zhongming hung up the mobile phone, and then handed it to Zhang Chengwen, who was waiting next to him.

It's late at night, it's time to sleep.
