Chapter 399 Negotiation (I)
"On the stage of life, I will choose between a drama and a clown, because no one wants to be a clown. - Nameless.
Li Xiuman's confidence is not nonsense, facing the chocolate alien company that looks similar, just the S.M company itself can already kill the other party into a river of blood.
No way, this company has risen too fast, and its foundation is extremely unstable. Moreover, the company itself only relied on crude mergers and acquisitions to build up its size, and after the merger, in order to install the management of the original companies, the personnel were bloated and overlapped...... This, in turn, has created the problem that the capital chain is not smooth enough.
In order to alleviate the financial pressure, they began to make blind investments again, but where does the money come from if they want to invest? The most common way is to withhold the money of their artists, and then there is gray income, Yoo Jae-seok's salary, and charging admission fees to other artists, and at the same time shy asking the TV station to hand over the production rights of variety shows, these are actually very representative things.
But to say a word of conscience here, they may not really have the idea of maliciously hacking Liu Zaishi's salary, nor do they necessarily not know that grabbing the production rights will offend the TV station, let alone that the income from the venue fee will make the entire industry hostile to them. It's just that, as soon as the company's top management lost its balance in the rapid expansion, it became more and more inflated and unsightly. Second, some of them are born with low eyes and masters, plus the Korean comedy artists who make up the main body of this company actually like to invest indiscriminately (in fact, financial fraud, real estate scandals and other things happen frequently in the entertainment industry, but there are especially many of these things among comedy artists), so they can't hold back the ridiculous idea of 'gather funds to gamble, and when the time comes, everything will be easy to say when I get rich'.
Of course, this seems to be an impetuous nature in the industry, and it seems to be related to the low cultural quality, poor financial knowledge, and short-sightedness of Korean comedy artists.
In short, this company's forcible withholding of artists' salaries to engage in investment is itself a deformed way of operation that is out of its own business scope, and many investments are indeed unhealthy, plus some company executives seem to be suspected of corruption, so in the face of S.M's comprehensive sniping, the first sign of their collapse is the capital link.
Li Xiuman himself didn't expect it to be so simple, yes, although he knew that it should be smooth, but it was a bit beyond his expectations. So, smart and decisive, he immediately changed his strategy, stopped concentrating on the lawsuit, and stopped discrediting, he turned his head and used his connections, pulled SBS to contact MBC, and then contacted those familiar commercial performance middlemen, so that the TV station stuck the salaries of the company's artists, and let the middlemen block the commercial performance activities of those funny artists...... I don't expect to be able to really achieve the jam across the board, but it is still okay to play a role and cause the other party's financial difficulties as a whole.
With MBC squirming and SBS struggling to get stuck on the company's wages, and with the chocolate alien company's business activities drastically shrinking, the company has further or more completely exposed its shortcomings in just a week - there are too many problems in their financial chain.
Therefore, just a week after the lawsuit began, they couldn't hold back and wanted to ask for peace.
That's right, when you were working, it was your S.M company and JYP company who went up to do it, but when you pretend to be thirteen, you can't miss us, not to mention that everyone has been itching to see it for a long time, how to say it? Anyway, when Shen Dongye's group of people came to the CUBE conference room, they finally understood how big things were when they saw so many company bosses, presidents, and directors sitting opposite them. However, this in turn caused the disdain of many people on the other side, and it's been almost a week, and you don't even know who you're fighting with?!
"Sit down, Shen Dongye senior. Jin Zhongming sat in the position of the intermediary and presided over the private negotiations, but the real intermediary Li Bingchun sat next to him with his eyes and nose and nose. "Let's get straight to the point, the lawsuit between the two companies should not rise to the level of contradiction between the variety show industry and the song industry, let alone spread to the bottom artists who are still on the subsistence line. Although I don't know why you are here, our Korean Artists Rights Mutual Aid Committee has its own principles, and no one can wantonly infringe on the basic rights of low-level artists! This is also the fundamental reason why our committee is willing to accept the invitation of Director Lee Byung-soon and preside over this consultation and negotiation. I say that and no one objects, right?!"
The audience was quiet, it was obvious that everyone had not yet entered the state, many people didn't even drink saliva, and they didn't pay attention to what Jin Zhongming said just now.
"Shen Dongye's senior. "Jin Zhongming began to roll call, it's better if you don't get into the state, Lao Tzu will lead you away. "I'm not familiar with the other senior executives of your company, so I'll just tell you directly, and you can negotiate with them. Do you have any comments on what our committee has just said?"
"Of course not. Shen Dongye also hurriedly reacted, regardless of his character, this person's business level is still not said by this mouth. "In any case, this kind of dispute should not be unnecessarily expanded, and it should not affect the livelihood of low-level artists at will, our company has recently been banned by people on the TV station and commercial intermediaries, and many new debut funny artists do not receive their salaries and immediately have basic survival difficulties......"
"The top management of your company is so rich, why don't you just give a little to those newcomers?" Before Shen Dongye's words were finished, someone on the other side laughed at him in a weird way. "I read the newspaper that Shen Dongye's predecessors took a lot of money through the merger and acquisition of his own company......"
Shin Dongye immediately couldn't say any more, he was originally the president of Yoo Jae-seok's company, which was originally formed by several seniors of Seoul University of the Arts. It's just that some people are 'smart' and some are 'stupid', after the company was merged, Yoo Jae-seok and another predecessor of the Seoul Art University continued to have their salaries withheld; the other core Kim Sook barely retreated; but Shin Dong-yeol not only became the boss of Yoo Jae-seok and others, but also heard that a large amount of money in the company was also swept away by a certain former president to do private business, and I don't know if it's true or not. However, it is true that Yoo Jae-seok and several others continue to be owed wages...... Classmates, friends, colleagues, but people who can do such things are really rare.
"Alright!" Jin Zhongming nodded to the table. "Today is here to settle disputes, not to spray, since you can trust our committee, please respect the order in this room. ”
The venue immediately fell silent again, and Su Xiaoya began to bring people in to set up hot coffee, and at this time the meeting could be regarded as the official beginning.
"Is there anyone from that S.M company?" Jin Zhongming took a sip of coffee and began to mud. "Ah, President Kim Young-min is here in person, just now Shen Dongye's predecessor said that you maliciously blocked their company, causing many low-level funny artists to have difficulties in survival...... Is there such a thing?"
“…… Nothing!" After being stunned for a moment, Kim Young-min immediately began to retort. "The question of the salary of the TV station should be asked to the TV station, and the question of the commercial performance should be asked to ask their own business reputation, it has nothing to do with us, we are also an ordinary company, the building has not been renovated for several years, how can we have the ability to block them?
"And!" Park Jin-young also sat up straight with a smile. "I also want to reiterate one thing, the other party's company is a real vicious model, it's hard to say whether we have banned them, and it's hard to say whether they can't support their own artists because of this, but they charge a lot of variety show admission fees to the artists of various large, medium and small companies here, but there is clear evidence and examples, and we have officially sued them for this!"
"yes. Park Yonghao of Loen said with a slight urge. "There is only an artist in our company, and the child failed to make his debut at the beginning, and this second attempt has just begun, and he was slaughtered by them once! Everyone, a little girl in 93, was so bribed by them that she eats instant noodles every day!"
"What is a kid eating instant noodles?" Kim Tae-song also smiled and pinched his chin and teased. "The whole regiment of our company was forced to live in the basement, the curtains were replaced with tin foil, and the company could only survive in a brick house...... They forced it to ......."
There was already uncontrollable laughter in the conference room, and the people at Chocolate Alien were all blushing. To be honest, they also understand that they are at a disadvantage now, and it is inevitable to be ridiculed here, but they have been in a strong rise for more than a year before, and they are obviously a little unable to adapt to this kind of insult.
However, there is still a savior, Lee Byung-soon's sudden sigh made the conference room completely quiet, no matter who it is, he still has to give face to the KBS director.
"So what. Kim Jong-ming glanced at Lee Byung-soon with slanted eyes, decided to give him a little face, and quickly moved on to the substantive issues. "Let's go back to the lawsuit itself, all three parties are here, so let's be honest, if we can solve the problem here, don't be embarrassed in the public eye. How?"
What can it be? The weakness of this company has been exposed clearly, and it is a bit like 'I am clear' at the beginning, everyone is waiting to pounce on it and eat meat! In this case, they even want to take a step back and be safe, and if I let go of the variety show in the future, you won't touch me...... Are you kidding?!
In the end, Li Bingchun, the middleman, couldn't listen to it anymore! So, he made a gesture to Jin Zhongming and walked out of the conference room, and Jin Zhongming immediately left a group of company bigwigs talking nonsense there and followed each other to leave. The two came directly to Jin Zhongming's personal office, and Su Xiaoya brought two cups of coffee again, and then withdrew.
This is where the most substantive negotiations are taking place!
