Chapter 401: Abacus

“…… The company's share price has been fluctuating up and down since rumors began to spread, and it was down another 3% at the close of trading last night. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Holding the folder in his hand, the secretary was reporting to Li Xiuman on the secret actions he had been doing for several days.

Li Xiuman squinted, leaned back in his chair, facing the afterglow of the setting sun, half of his face was covered by the crimson light, and he looked very solemn.

"How many shares have you taken in so far?"

He asked in a low voice as he rubbed his fingers against his lips.

"We have absorbed 0.8% of the shares circulating in the market," the secretary's voice was unfazed: "If the action is bigger, it will be easy to be detected by the Securities Regulatory Commission." ”

"Well," Li Xiuman nodded to express his affirmation of the secretary's work: "You have done a good job, you have to be stable now." What about the shares in the hands of the other shareholders?

"Not yet. Speaking of this, the secretary had some scruples and wanted to stop talking.

"If you have anything to say, just say it. Glancing at him, Li Xiuman said in the ground: "I'm not really a dictator, and I still understand this by listening to it." ”

"Yes, Superintendent. The secretary lowered his head, cleared his throat and asked, "Will it be a surprise to contact the shareholders rashly now?" After all, President Jin ...... there."

If you say anything further, it is very taboo, even if he is Li Xiuman's henchman, it is impossible to sell himself so realistically.

"I also know what the consequences of doing these actions now and reaching Yingmin's ears will be. Li Xiuman's eyes narrowed even tighter, and his knife-sharp gaze swayed through the gap, making the secretary he accidentally saw feel like he was stabbing in his back. He hurriedly lowered his head to avoid Li Xiuman's gaze, but his heart became more and more jealous.

"But I'm doing this because it's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for us to buy shares in the stock market and strengthen our control over the company, and secondly," Mr. Li paused, fingers resting restlessly on his chin.

"If, I mean if," his voice became more and more hoarse, "I have a head-on conflict with Kim Young-min, then whoever pulls the neutral shareholders into his camp first will be the ultimate winner!"

"I don't think there will be a shareholder who is crazy and doesn't choose the director, right?" the secretary secretly patted a sycophant: "After all, whether it is qualifications, experience, connections, ability, and all aspects of the trade-off, you are much better than President Jin - no, it should be said that the two of you are not comparable at all!"

"How can you say it so simply?" Li Xiuman laughed, and his face returned to calm.

The arms that had been clasped to his chest finally let go, and his hand reached for the desk, hesitated for a moment, and finally picked up the box of cigarettes that had not been moved for a long time but had been spared.

"I'm sorry Eun-jin," sighed silently in his heart, and the flames from the lighter illuminated Li Xiuman's wrinkled face: "I broke the promise between us again." “

"There are too many capable people in the world, but the head of a company cannot be easily measured by ability. Holding a cigarette between his fingers and lighting the secretary, Li Xiuman pointed at him and said, "Isn't Jobs also a genius? Didn't he still be expelled from the board of directors by a collective vote of shareholders back then? Sean Parker is also a first-class businessman, wasn't he robbed of his shares by Mark Zuckerberg?"

"What shareholders need is not a capable leader, but an obedient guy who can protect their rights and interests. Li Xiuman sighed: "And in this regard, the disadvantage between me and Kim Yingmin is really hard to say." ”

The secretary was silent, and only after a long time retorted: "But Sean Parker didn't fall into a slump, didn't he also invest in other high-hospitality industries later?" Jobs was finally asked to go back by the shareholders who drove him out that year to save Apple, which was on the verge of death." ”

"The problem is," Li Xiuman's throat squeezed out a vague laugh, which sounded a little creepy: "I don't have as much time as Jobs, I can wait for the return of a twenty-year king." ”

"What I want to do is to hold on to the things in my hand until I die!" A trace of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes, and Li Xiuman smashed the cigarette that he had smoked less than half into the ashtray.

"Inform the few composers who are still hesitating, whether it is twelve, I will only give them three days. When the time came, all the people who had not given me an accurate answer were eliminated from my plan by me. ”

Turning around and standing up, Li Xiuman no longer had the old age and fatigue just now, and his body was still full of shrewdness and ability.

"But, Director. The secretary took a step forward, trying to dissuade Li Xiuman. He roughly guessed what the boss wanted to do.

"No, but. With a wave of his hand, Li Xiuman forcibly blocked the secretary's mouth: "We have limited time, and the situation is so critical." Whether it is SW, which is still uncompromising, or other companies that are ready to move, even Kim Young-min, who is still unmoving, are all stumbling blocks on our way forward! There is no time to be indecisive!"

With his right hand clenched his fist, he slammed it down on the office desk, and made a dull sound: "I'll do this SKstation myself!"

When Li Xiuman's voice fell, the secretary clearly saw a cluster of burning flames in his eyes, as if the old man in front of him who had lost all his sharpness had returned to the passionate years when he was dominant, crisscrossing the world, not afraid of heaven and earth, and no one dared to break his wrist and compete!

I couldn't help but be excited in my heart, the secretary pushed his glasses, tried to suppress his desire to shout, and nodded fiercely: "Understood, I'll go!"

"Hmm. Li Xiuman nodded slightly, as if he had exhausted all his strength, and sat back in his chair exhausted.

The secretary was just about to leave, and the mobile phone rang in his arms. He frowned, took it out and picked it up.

"Hey, I am. What ???"

The voice suddenly turned high, and the spiked sound made Li Xiuman, who had closed his eyes and recuperate, open his eyes in displeasure.

The secretary also subconsciously looked over, covering his phone with one hand, and his eager movements couldn't hide his panicked heart: "General, director,"

The stammering, trembling voice was very dry, and there was a faint horror.

"What's wrong?" Li Xiuman asked, his heart sank.

The secretary swallowed his saliva, grunted with difficulty, and hurriedly turned on the TV.

The news is being broadcast on SBS TV.

"This afternoon, JYP, YG, FNC, CUBE and other entertainment agencies held a joint press conference in Seoul, and the heads of Park Jin-young, Yang Hyun-suk, Han Seung-ho, Hong Seung-sung and other companies were present in person......"

"Gaba", the secretary followed the sound. It was Li Xiuman who stubbornly pouted a pen at hand into two paragraphs!

“…… At the press conference, the relevant companies issued a joint statement, announcing that they would carry out more in-depth and extensive exchanges and cooperation in business-related fields......"

The voice on the TV continued to broadcast, and even the anchor's voice was full of surprise.

The secretary hurriedly wanted to turn off the TV, but Li Xiuman shouted in a deep voice: "Okay, don't be busy, I'll talk about it after watching it." ”

According to experts, this joint press conference symbolizes that the companies have worked together to form a loose alliance to jointly deal with the increasingly complex domestic market, and actively explore overseas markets to promote the further export of Hallyu culture. At the same time, experts also pointed out that SM Company, as a veteran entertainment giant, was absent from this meeting, and the inner meaning is intriguing. I have to think of a rumor that has been in the dust in recent days......"

"SBS!!" The secretary's eyes widened, his eyes split, and a low roar of rage burst out of his throat. No matter how careful he is, he would never have thought that when things came to an end, the first one to take the lead in mending the knife turned out to be SBS, who has always had a good relationship with SM!

"Okay!" Li Xiuman shouted loudly and stopped the secretary's impulsive behavior: "What's so angry! It's not that we are not angry ourselves, so that we will be seen by others?"

"But!" the secretary was young and vigorous, and his efforts to cultivate qi had not yet reached the realm, and he asked in frustration: "Now that other companies have formed an alliance, and SBS has openly stabbed us on TV, what can we do?"

The face is not obvious, and he hides his emotions deeply, but Li Xiuman's footsteps are pacing around, but the irritability in his heart is exposed.

"Fortunately, the stock market will ......be closed at two o'clock in the afternoon," he muttered in a low voice.

When the secretary heard this, he immediately broke out in a cold sweat behind his back. Yes, if this news had been broadcast earlier, and the stock market had not been suspended, SM's stock value would have immediately plummeted to 3,000 feet like an avalanche! Whether it is the news propagated by SBS, which is heard and seen by those brainless stockholders, or a veteran who really knows how to do it, the content associated with the posture of the press conference will only be bad news for SM!

"You go raise money now, the stock market opens early tomorrow morning, enter the market immediately, and stabilize the stock price no matter what. We will eat as much as others throw!" A trace of gloom flashed on Li Xiuman's face, but he still explained to the secretary in an orderly manner: "Then, contact the directors of the board of directors - no," After thinking about it, he stopped talking again.

"Superintendent?" asked the secretary, who was still waiting for instructions, tentatively.

"It is estimated that there will not be too many people in the board of directors who support me, and those people have the ......ability to steer the rudder when they see the wind" did not speak to the secretary, Li Xiuman was completely talking to himself, frowned, and waved his hand fiercely: "Contact all shareholders and hold a shareholders' meeting tomorrow!"

"Eh?" the secretary was dumbfounded for a moment, should he be so excited? Moreover, the shareholders' meeting will be held the next day, and they will only be notified one by one tonight? If this rush continues, how many shareholders will maintain confidence and believe that the company still has the strength to deal with everything that happens?

"It's okay, just go. Seeing his concern, Li Xiuman soothed: "As long as they are willing to come, I have a chance to persuade them and maintain confidence in the company!"

"What if you don't come?" said the secretary.

"If you don't want to come, wait for me to get through this current difficulty," Li Xiuman's eyes were full of gloom: "I won't use it again!"

"What about you?" Seeing Li Xiuman take off his suit jacket from the hanger and prepare to go out, the secretary asked.

"I went to the SBS headquarters and discussed it with Director Zheng. "That was Lee so-man's ally within SBS, of course, it was also in the past, and it is still not, it's hard to say. Li Xiuman went in person, and he had to see it with his own eyes to rest assured.

"Then I'll call the driver and ask the driver to prepare the car. The secretary said in a panic.

Before going out, Li Xiuman's eyes fell on the TV screen, and the so-called "experts" in the picture were still talking.

"The alliance of small and medium-sized enterprises helps to cope with operational pressure and share market risks, which is an important step in the rational allocation of industrial resources......"

He scoffed. Resources are always in the hands of a few people, and the small companies that stay will naturally become big companies!

――――――

"JYP and them, this time the noise is really big enough. ”

At the same time, in SW's office, Lee Eun-gyu was also watching the live broadcast on TV with his subordinates.

Of course, I don't want Li Xiuman to not get the news in time, when the press conference was still brewing, SW was already the first batch of people to know the inside story in advance.

"Minshuo, your media friend, is really powerful, and he can even know this kind of news in advance. Looking at the TV and complaining, Luo Yijing couldn't help but sigh: "I saw that the reporters who went to the scene seemed to be confused, and obviously didn't send a press release." ”

Kim Min-seok was lying lazily on the sofa, from head to toe, there was no part that wanted to kiss himself, and even when he heard Luo Yijing talk about himself, he only blinked a few times, and his lips opened slightly and whispered: "If you say that you are not a media friend, you are a second-class dealer who sells intelligence." Our rumors can spread so badly and affect SM's basic disk, thanks to his willingness to help. ”

It turned out to be a broker. As soon as he heard that the other party was this identity, Luo Yijing immediately lost interest, turned his head and continued to watch TV, shouting, or nodding in agreement or shaking his head and scolding, but he was full of energy.

Kim Min-seok was physically and mentally exhausted by the hard work of the past few days, and finally had the opportunity to get out of the recording studio, he almost wanted to fall on the spot, close his eyes and sleep in the dark.

"Other companies have already reacted, what do you think my uncle will do?" Sitting opposite Kim Min-suk, Lee Eun-gyu's face was not very good, but he was very energetic by this breaking news, and his eyes flashed over to ask Kim Min-suk.

"Uh......" Kim Min-seok didn't know how to answer for a while, but he rolled his eyes in his heart. That's your uncle, and it's not my uncle-no, if you follow Shun-gyu, he'll really have to call him uncle--the point is, how can I, an outsider, know what that old guy will do?

"It's hard to say. Carefully considering the words, Kim Min-suk's attitude was not very optimistic: "I'm afraid that Mr. Lee so-man is not such an easy compromiser, the key is that even if major companies form an alliance, it seems that it will be difficult to pose too much threat to SM in a short period of time."

Lee Eun-gyu tilted his head and thought about it, SM has been actively exploring overseas markets since 2012, no matter how strong other companies are, they can only follow the three-point land in South Korea, and it is still difficult to hold SM's seven inches.
