Chapter 382 Trivia (I)
"Lao Hong, do you have time to have a drink now?" At the end of the meeting, Jin Zhongming kept Hong Shengcheng with a smile while packing up his things. "But it's really not the time to drink, how about having a working meal together?"
"Okay. After looking at Jin Zhongming, Hong Shengcheng certainly knew that the other party had something to say, but of course he had no reason to refuse.
In this way, the two packed up their things and waited quietly at the door of the conference room, until everyone else disappeared before they walked into a lonely and remote elevator together.
"It's abrupt. Hong Seung-sung asked, staring at the jumping characters on the elevator panel. "Big or small?"
"It's a small thing. Jin Zhongming frowned slightly but immediately let go, and his tone obviously didn't seem very confident.
"Let's just say it. Hong Shengcheng sighed. "What the hell is going on, I'm worried about you hanging on me so much. ”
"I don't even know whether to tell you or not. Jin Zhongming laughed awkwardly. "It's just, to be honest, I just want to have a peaceful Christmas, so I just thought about it in my head, and then I suddenly remembered it, otherwise I almost forgot about it. ”
"Embarrassing?" Hong Shengcheng was even more confused. "You can talk about business and private matters first, and let me breathe a sigh of relief. ”
"I don't know if it's a business or a private matter...... Kim Jong-ming's tone was even more uncertain.
"You're worrying me. Hong Shengcheng was amused, in fact, judging from this answer, the matter that the other party wanted to say should not be big, so he was really relieved.
The elevator door opened, and the people in the hall hurriedly bowed their heads to say hello when they saw that these two people appeared together. But when they appear together, they don't need to think about it so much.
The two stopped talking. Smiling and greeting the employees around you. Then I went out all the way to a nearby rice noodle shop. That's right, it was the rice noodle shop that Kim Jong Ming introduced to Li Xiuman about the CUBE company's building, and there was no one in the morning, which made it convenient for the two to talk.
"I'm still a little embarrassed to say that. Jin Zhongming finally said the specific thing while stirring a bowl of rice noodles. "Well, this matter was mentioned by Chu Long when he was chatting with me a while ago, it sounds like a little child's play, but ...... Wait until I get to know a little bit more......"
"I know what you're talking about. Hong Shengcheng was stunned for a moment, but then reacted. "That incident really didn't have a good impact. But I pressed it down, and it shouldn't have been passed out. After a pause, he continued. "And, like you said, it's obviously a little childish, but when you really understand it, it's speechless...... In short, it is indeed absurd that a big boss worth more than 100 billion yuan actually ran over to quarrel with his child's dormitory administrator, just because he felt that the fruit his child ate was not healthy enough...... I feel a little weak when I talk about it now. ”
"Except for the land. The children's families all seem to be doing well. Jin Zhongming thought for a moment and continued. "But other people's parents are very mature, and this one is a bit of a ...... How do you say that? You do use the word "void" very appropriately. I really don't know if I should take this seriously now. Take it seriously, it's a bit like the feeling of standing on the platform for the child like the other party, and it seems to be inferior. Don't take it seriously......"
"Don't take it seriously, the other party's financial resources and identity are there. Hong Shengcheng smiled bitterly. "It's hard for you to treat this as an ordinary parental spoiling incident. To put it mildly, it was difficult for me to calm down when I went to talk to the other party, and when Lao Cui went to persuade him, he obviously quarreled with the other party because he couldn't grasp his emotions, which also made Zhengya bear a lot of pressure that he shouldn't have. Therefore, I am not surprised at all that Chu Long went to tell you about this, because Hong Yujun's father did show a bit of a discount that time!"
"I checked him. Jin Zhongming put down his chopsticks and said with a blank expression. "The industry generally thinks that this person is shrewd and capable, that steel company is developing very well in his hands, and he has no internal and external skills. But such a person, because he felt that his daughter didn't eat dinner well, then ran to the girls' dormitory in the middle of the night to quarrel with the dormitory manager, he really didn't understand whether he was fake or not, this way would only make the child be isolated by his peers in turn...... What do you think? Is this just a doting father on the spur of the moment?"
Hong Shengcheng looked helpless: "Otherwise, what else can you do? Interlaced like a mountain, does he, a representative of a steel company, still want to make a trip in our company? The only problem is that his worth makes him have a sense of privilege, and he can't control himself when facing his doting daughter." ”
So back to the key question. Jin Zhongming finally tried to see the dagger. "What do you think of this kid Hong Yuyun? Can he stay? Or is it worth staying? It's only been half a year now, and everything is in time. ”
"Hmph!" Hong Shengcheng laughed dryly. "Here's the problem, I have a disagreement with Lao Cui. ”
Jin Zhongming was stunned on the spot, and the matter was unexpected.
After being silent for a long time, looking at Hong Shengcheng's two chopsticks and rice threads, he asked, "As for it?"
Yes, as for it? Just because of a nonsensical quarrel between a trainee's parents, and because of a trainee's departure, the company's first and third leaders actually had a so-called disagreement.
However, Kim Jong-ming is not stupid, he quickly figured out the crux of the problem, the problem of this matter should still lie with Cui Zhenhao, the representative of ACUBE and the company's third-in-command, he should have a sense of anxiety in the face of the company's rapid expansion.
I think that at the beginning, after Hong Shengcheng pulled people from the JYP company, in order to appease many of them in high status, the company gave some people privileges in the form of a sub-envelope.
For example, Shin Kyung-hwa, the former finance director of JYP, continued to work in the financial department of CUBE while becoming the representative of the music distribution branch of Cube Company. Another example is Shen Zhenghua, who was in charge of the JYP trainee department, and he became the representative of the music production branch of Cube while continuing to train trainees.
This is the so-called feudal princes.
However, there are two branches that are particularly special. That's Kim Jong-myung's JK-CUBE and Choi Jin-ho's A-cube. The two companies have their own independent systems. Finance, contracted artists, etc., are actually separate from the nominal head office CUBE. It's just under the brand of the same company.
There is no way, Cui Zhenhao is young, he feels that he is capable, and he wants to gamble; and the company is created, in order to appease the people's hearts to the greatest extent, Hong Shengcheng agreed to his semi-independence request at that time; at the same time, Jin Zhongming also took a tacit and even supportive attitude towards Cui Zhenhao at that time out of consideration for balancing Hong Shengcheng, and it is not accidental that Chu Long's group of people are placed in the A-cube.
But. As the so-called current affairs are easy to turn, today's CUBE company is no longer the empty box that needed Kim Jong-ming to invite Ahn Sung-gi and Choi Min-sik to come over and stand for it.
First of all, JK's side, several outstanding movies produced by himself in a row, coupled with the successful investment in "Haeundae", the original small company has really taken off, not to mention that there is a committee that is faintly inseparable from JK-cube placed at the top level!
In fact, many people in the industry have already taken the status and existence of this company seriously, and CJ Lee Jae-hyun didn't have dinner with Kim Jong-myung? There are even people in the industry who say that in another year, Cube will be among the eight major Korean film companies. At that time, it happened to turn that mind to the KangJeGyu company on the theater line to top it out.
In this case, Kim Jong Ming then considers the so-called balance issue. He needs to help Hong Shengcheng take the position in turn, otherwise the film department's solo take-off will make the company out of touch. Therefore, this is why Kim Jong-ming paid for KARA by himself, but gave Hong Shengcheng such a strange thing.
Of course, Hong Shengcheng does have a level, BEAST, 4minute, two excellent combinations produced by themselves, almost all of the members are leftover or replaced after the debut of other companies, kara was simply bought after the whole group hit the street, plus the company also has a few signed singers from talent shows, and people outside actually call him 'the old man who picks up garbage'.
That's a very vivid way to put it.
But this old man who picks up garbage insists on running these artists well, forcing those people to face up to his existence. Even Jin Zhongming knew that Rain, who came out to work alone, seemed to be ready to come back to Hong Shengcheng to partner with him because of business difficulties recently, coupled with his enthusiasm for the momentum here...... Under such circumstances, how could Cui Zhenhao, who was very pretentious, not be anxious? How could he not be unbalanced? Chu Long's group was indeed good, but it still took time to become an army, and it had only been training for half a year!
"I guess ......" After thinking for a moment, Jin Zhongming put down his chopsticks angrily. "Lao Cui wants to give up Hong Yujun straightforwardly, while you, Lao Hong, want to maintain the situation as much as possible, and be harmonious if you can. Right?"
"The company's development is changing with each passing day. Hong Shengcheng also put down his chopsticks helplessly, but his eyes looked at the cube company building not far away with a slightly complicated look. "At that time, we actually just wanted to give ourselves a home and no longer be controlled by others, and no one thought that we had come to this point in just over a year. I think it's more important for us to show our metrics and capabilities in this case...... Of course, this topic is far away, let's talk about the matter, I think Yu Xuan's child itself is fine, there is no reason to cut off her opportunity because of his father's gaffe. After all, her father is her father, she is her, and we have to look at it separately as much as possible to show the bearing and rigor of a large company......"
Jin Zhongming nodded with emotion: "In this regard, I actually admire Li Xiuman." At the beginning, after he fell in love with Choi Siyuan, he went directly to find someone's house like a talent scout, and he was not swayed at all because this child could inherit the second largest supermarket chain in South Korea. After bringing Choi Si-won back, he did not change his plans at all because of his family's power, and in the end, Choi Si-won did not replace Kim Jae-jung as a member of TVXQ. ”
"That's what I mean. Hong Shengcheng nodded repeatedly. "The company is getting bigger and bigger, and we also have to have a change in mentality, I think it is normal for Zhengya, as the administrator of the dormitory, to quarrel with Hong Yujun's father, who is unreasonable, but Lao Cui, as a representative of the company, does not need to have additional psychological pressure because the other party is rich...... He's overly sensitive. ”
"But......" Jin Zhongming muttered. "The truth is that this is true, but after all, it's been two months, but listening to your tone, you don't seem to have solved this matter, why is that?"
"For two sake. Hong Shengcheng smiled helplessly. "Lao Cui has a rebellious mentality, and his self-esteem has already scolded me, so he doesn't want to listen to me. And that Hong Yujun's father...... Uh, Hong Ha Zhong, that's the name, he thinks he's a big guy, so he doesn't bother to listen to me. ”
"It's still early. Jin Zhongming can clearly see the situation at the entrance of his company through the glass of the rice noodle shop. "Why don't we call these two big guys and ...... Invite them to eat rice noodles? What do you think?"
"Good idea!" Hong Bodhisattva is as good as a stream. "But considering Lao Cui's self-esteem, why don't I go back to the company to work?
"You're better off. Admiralty was convinced. (To be continued.) )
