"What's going on?" Jin Zhongming pushed the coffee cup in front of Hong Shengcheng, and the other party hadn't taken half a sip since he came in!

"What can happen?" Hong Shengcheng sneered. "His heart is too big!"

It turns out that the matter is still related to Wondergirls, or the explosive success of Wondergirls is the fuse of this matter, which is why several girls from Wondergirls will appear in such a deep discussion of the problem today.

It's been a year since Wondergirls debuted, in this year they are not only the first successful girl group in South Korea, but also staggering to complete the journey of Southeast Asia and China's appearance, and when JYP company sees that the Chinese market is not very mature and Southeast Asia really has no decent oil and water to match today's Wondergirls, then self-admittedly, from a business point of view, their new entry location in 08 must also be decided as soon as possible.

"Where do you think you should go?" asked Hong Shengcheng after taking a sip of coffee, and he bit the word "should" very hard.

"Where should I go?" Kim Jong-ming asked speechlessly, in fact, although he roughly guessed the matter itself, there was no need to cover up this question, because this is a well-known thing in South Korea. "It's the second largest entertainment market in the world, and it's culturally similar, and even Korean has some Japanese influences. And the most important thing is that the cooperation between the Japanese market and South Korea has completed the itinerary industry chain, and with the current level of Wondergirls, it is easy to go there directly to pick up money!"

"Yes!" Hong Shengcheng sighed. "Of course it's going to Japan, even you, who don't go to songs, commercial performances, or advertisements, know that you can pick up money when you go to Japan, but some people don't want to go. ”

"That brother doesn't think that the Japanese market was developed by Li Xiuman's hard work back then, and it is a bit of a loss of self-esteem for Wondergirls to go to Japan, right?" Kim Jong-ming asked with a sneer, he was actually very curious about why Park Jin-young would let the invincible Wondergirls jump directly to the United States.

"Mr. Jin Zhongming is really smart!" Hong Shengcheng stared at Jin Zhongming stunned for a few seconds. And then this sentence popped up.

"Wait a minute!" Jin Zhongming quickly swallowed his coffee, and then asked with a strange face. "I—Did I guess right?"

"You guessed it!" replied Hong Shengcheng with a pursed mouth.

It turned out that during the New Year's Day, JYP had already begun to discuss this issue internally, and some members of the company had even begun to let Wondergirls learn Japanese, but then they were stopped by Park Jin-young, and then the boss of JYP actually let the girls practice English!

The stunned Hong Shengcheng and the others naturally hurried to find Park Zhenying to ask for an understanding. And Park Jin-young didn't hide it from Hong Seung-sung, he said directly that since the two Korean songs "TellMe" and "NoBody" can make waves in the United States, and Wondergirls also has a little popularity in the United States, why not just take out the English versions of these two songs, and then let the children go directly to the United States?

"We've been persuading for a long time!" Hong Shengcheng said with emotion. "But he finally told me the truth, he said that Li Xiuman has always been his demon, so if he can overpower Li Xiuman once in his life, he will be willing even once!"

"So he's going to try to create the U.S. market, isn't it?" asked Jin Zhongming with great interest. "Go on! ”

"Are you still itching? What can be worth itching?" Hong Shengcheng smiled bitterly angrily. "Why is Lee so-man the boss of the Korean music industry? It's not because of how high the market value of his company is. It's not because of how he speaks, but because he opened up the Japanese market for people in the Korean music industry, making the Korean and Japanese entertainment industry form an industrial chain. With this, Park Jin-young and Yang Hyun-seok are not qualified to be compared with Lee so-man. Therefore, if he wants to overpower Li Xiuman, there is only this way!"

"Yes!" replied with a relaxed face. "The development of the Japanese market is the greatest achievement of Li Xiuman's life, just because everyone in the Korean music industry has to be a head lower than him, unless he can open up the Chinese or American markets, no means can overpower Li Xiuman. But now that the Chinese market is not mature, opening the American market is the only and most straightforward way at present. I finally got it. This question makes me so uncomfortable!"

"Are you so uncomfortable?" asked Hong Shengcheng in surprise. "You knew what he had in mind for a long time?"

"That's not going to happen!" replied with a smile on his face. "How is that possible, right? It's just that he guessed a little bit when he asked me for the rights to the English version at the Golden Record. Let's go on, how did the Wondergirls bypass Japan and enter the United States to attract the financing of the chaebol? Are you short of money?"

"You don't understand this!" Hong Shengcheng replied with a sigh. "If you want to open up a new market, it is almost inevitable to accept financing, didn't S.M also exchange shares with Ai Hui when it went to Japan?"

"Oh, I see. Pay protection money!" Jin Zhongming hit the nail on the head, in fact, when he ran an e-commerce company, accepting loans and investments from Alibaba was also an act of paying protection fees, which was much the same.

"That's right!" Hong Shengcheng's expression was already depressed. "Here's the problem, Hanjin Group is the world's largest logistics group, even though it is a Korean company. But they started with the Vietnam War, so they have deep roots in the United States, and Park Jin-young immediately saw this entry point and quickly put forward a resolution! But the problem is that when a giant group like Hanjin comes in, what should we do with a group of old courtiers who follow him to fight the world? Our ideals, our status, and our influence will all be lost!

"I don't need to talk about it later!" Jin Zhongming saw that Hong Shengcheng was about to cry, so he quickly called a pause. "I can guess when I close my eyes, no wonder I haven't heard of any big moves from Wondergirls this month, and the feeling is that the top management of your company is all busy with ideological struggles! You workers don't have anything to do, do you?"

"Speak politely!" Hong Shengcheng retorted with a dark face. "We are not wage earners, this company belongs to us from the bones, and we were the ones who rented the space when there were more than a dozen people."

"Wait!" Jin Zhongming unceremoniously interrupted the other party's performance. "Did you pay for the first dozen people? Do you have shares? Didn't you have people Park Jin-young who wrote and sang songs by himself, and then ran out of money to find women's magazines to sell his shirtless photos and pay you wages to maintain it? This JYP company belongs to Park Jin-young from the bottom of the law, and it has nothing to do with you!"

Hong Shengcheng stared at Jin Zhongming in a daze, as if he wanted to eat Jin Zhongming. But Jin Zhongming also unceremoniously stared back! And in the end, Hong Shengcheng was defeated.

"What you said is right! Park Jin-young is right, it's me who is wrong!" Hong Seung-sung covered his face and sighed. "From beginning to end, this company has not belonged to us workers for a quarter of an hour, it has always belonged to Park Jin-young, he can play as much as he wants, let whoever he wants in, let whoever he wants to go! These are not things that we are qualified to discuss. ”

Kim Jong-ming looked at the lights above his head expressionlessly, allowing Hong Shengcheng's emotions to collapse, as if it was none of his business. But fortunately, this is a private room by the window, and the sound insulation effect is also very good, so no waiter noticed the situation here.

After a long time, Hong Shengcheng slowly cleaned up his mentality, he wiped his glasses again, and took out a handkerchief to wipe his face.

"Okay?" Jin Zhongming watched the scene quietly, waiting for the other party to put his glasses back on before he spoke.

"Okay!" Hong Shengcheng's eyes were still red, but his words and actions showed that this person had really recovered.

"Then I'll say it. If you have anything to ask, you can always ask, and in the same way you should answer me honestly if I ask you. Jin Zhongming pinched an unknown snack from the café on the table. Further requests were made. "How?"

"Okay!" Of course, Hong Shengcheng knew what the other party wanted to discuss with him, and he had a similar mind at the moment, so he had a twelve-point thought.

"Do you have any money?" Jin Zhongming nodded and asked the first and most central question.

"Yes, but definitely not much!" Hong Shengcheng shook his head helplessly.

"Very good!" Jin Zhongming asked as he continued to stare at the other party's face. "Do you have any of them?"

"Of course!" Hong Shengcheng replied with a nod. He answered the question with a glossy face, and it was clear that he was proud of what he was about to say. "I can pull half of the JYP out as long as I want! From me to the department head, to the head of the department, to the experienced agent, assistant, music equipment operator, and even the guard at the door. A full-fledged entertainment agency will emerge soon!"

"Great!" Kim almost applauded. "What about the artist?"

"I can take away a considerable number of trainees, of course, this is not necessary, because we can recruit and train trainees immediately!" Hong Shengcheng replied with squinted eyes. "And don't worry about not having a signature artist, in addition to being able to train right away, I think you'll be enough to be a signboard. Of course, if you're too lazy to catch up with the announcement or go to the circle of fans, I can still go and say a word to Rain, he was picked out of the trainees by me when the family was poor and it was difficult to eat, and the favor owed to me will not be paid off for a lifetime!"

"Bang bang!" Jin Zhongming really applauded this time. "Isn't it time for you to ask me?"

"I won't ask, you can say it yourself!" Hong Shengcheng looked up at Jin Zhongming opposite without showing weakness.

"First, I'm rich!" Kim Jong Ming said calmly as he chewed on a snack that had no taste in his mouth. "Don't ask where I got it, in short, I have a lot of money, I can directly take a building of my own in Apguting, which is ten times larger than the current JYP company building, and I can accept the salary of those who don't make money for three years but keep paying your salaries. ”

Hong Shengcheng's eyelids jumped involuntarily.

"Second, I also have people, artists!" Kim Jong-ming continued to speak calmly. "How embarrassing is it for Kim Jong-myung or Jung Ji-hoon to be the signboard? Isn't it? I can let a person named Ahn Sung-ki or a person named Choi Min-sik come over and be the signboard of this company!"

Hong Shengcheng's eyelids jumped uncontrollably again.

"Of course, it doesn't make much sense to say that. Generally speaking, you pay for it, right? There's no need to divide it so finely. However, a serious question arises. Saying that, Jin Zhongming spread his hands and went straight to the showdown. "After the new company is established, how much do you people want to take, or how much are you going to keep for me, the person who paid for it?" (To be continued.) )
