Chapter 35: The Showdown

If it weren't for Cui Zhenhao's firm attitude, Lin Ke would not have had a deep impression of Hong Shengcheng. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoA representative director who has been cleaned up by the Korean entertainment industry giant IHQ for 15 years. Naturally, there is not much intersection with Lin Ke.

Lin Ke felt that he could dig up Cui Zhenhao's problem. is more aware that in the future, Cui Zhenhao hooked up with CJ and took a group of people from Hong Shengcheng's company to work alone, so there should be no loyalty. But Lin Ke took it for granted.

Later, Lin Ke carefully recalled the news of Hong Shengcheng and Cui Zhenhao in his "previous life". Gradually sorted out the matter to a rough idea.

One of the main reasons for Hong Seung-sung's eagerness to leave JYP in '08 was that there was a lot of speculation, including claims of uneven distribution of benefits and long-term dissatisfaction with Park Jin-young.

But Lin Ke knew that the specific fuse was a boy group that Lin Ke didn't have much impression of, 2AM. Because Park Jin-young decided to make 2PM debut, it was impossible for 2AM to debut in the same year, so it could only be shelved again. And Hong Shengcheng came out to go it alone, one of the main reasons, or can be understood as relying on, is this 2AM. So he quickly reached an agreement with someone, established a new company, and prepared for his debut in 2AM.

It's a pity that Park Jin-young soon repented, asked for the card back, and handed him over to Fang Si-hyuk.

The seemingly stable shareholding structure of the new company that Hong Shengcheng was eager to establish became completely unstable after IHQ acquired most of the shares in the hands of Universal and obtained 50.01% of the new company.

What's even more terrifying is that IHQ is eager to cash out the new company, and the disagreement arises.

Looking at the process of Cui Zhenhao's independence with the new girl group, it is more like Hong Shengcheng's instructions, at least Hong Shengcheng has no objection.

Of course, after several years of infighting, Hong Shengcheng left with regret. IHQ took the company public, made a lot of money and maintained a controlling stake in the company, and Choi Jin-ho's branch was acquired by SK's Lone. It's clear who wins and who loses.

Lin Ke sorted out Hong Shengcheng's past and present life in his mind, and in his mind, this guy who was cheated by the former boss and the joint venture was never a good partner to work with.

There is a legend that when he was just asked to leave at 2AM, he worked overtime in the company until 2 o'clock in the morning every day, and in Lin Ke's eyes, this tactical diligence was just to cover up his strategic incompetence. Fortunately, with the addition of Cui Zhongshi, things have become completely different. Of course, this person also has other shortcomings, that is, he is too humane, which will lead to a lot of waste of resources when running a business. This point was confirmed again and again by Lin Ke and Cui Zhongshi to dispel their doubts.

Lin Ke was thinking about these in his mind, but he had already arrived at the izakaya that he had made an appointment with Hong Shengcheng.

After greeting each other, Lin Ke ate Japanese food, and Cui Zhongshi and Hong Shengcheng chatted and tested each other. Somewhat bored waiting for the final showdown between the two.

"Director Choi, D.K Korea, is not afraid of getting into trouble with SK. After the temptation was almost over, Hong Shengcheng, who listened to Cui Zhongshi's intentions, asked helplessly.

"It's not enough to mess with SK, and Park Young-so can't represent SK Group. IHQ did not fulfill the agreement, and President Hong found another way, and we are not to blame for D.K and Xiufeng Real Estate. Cui Zhongshi said with a chuckle.

Hong Shengcheng also smiled helplessly. Everything must have a cost, but some people pay a large cost, and some people pay a small cost. For the current "fragrant and sweet" Xiufeng Real Estate, making Park Yongxiu unhappy is just a trivial matter.

And for Hong Shengcheng, who just broke up with Park Jinying, it really made him unable to advance or retreat for a while. On the IHQ side, after a period of delay, pay some benefits, and this matter can also be revealed. But now that there is one more choice, IHQ may be the one who is in a hurry.

"Since Director Cui has reached out at this time, he must also have his own plans. I don't know what price I, Hong Shengcheng, am worth in the eyes of D.K?" Hong Shengcheng took a sip of wine and got down to business.

"Doesn't President Hong want to hear about the plans of the new company?" asked Cui Zhongshi with a smile on his face.

Hong Seung-sung didn't say much and motioned for Choi Zhong-seok to continue.

"We have already secured several composition and choreography studios, and we are ready to create for new company projects. President Hong must know this, but what everyone doesn't know is that there is also a 'data service department' on the side of our American company that can serve the new company. ”

Cui Zhongshi faced Hong Shengcheng's puzzled gaze, pointed at Lin Ke and said, "Regarding the 'Data Service Department', let Xiufeng talk to President Hong." ”

President Park Jin-young studied geology at university, but Director Lee so-man went to Northern California to study computer science. Therefore, President Park Jin-young believes more in his own creation and judgment, and Director Lee so-man believes in data more. Lin Ke calmly stared at Hong Shengcheng's every move and explained:

"This year's WG fire really confirmed President Park's talent. But presumably, President Hong has a deeper understanding of his judgment, and we at D.K have chosen the same path as Director Lee. What kind of plan can become a big hit, after all, it is up to someone to make the final judgment, and what we admire most about Director Lee so-man at the head office is that he understands both the Korean Wave and the laws of computers. Knowing what kind of data is beneficial to one's own judgment, knowing what kind of data the computer uses to get the data, and knowing how to choose what is most beneficial to oneself when the data and experience conflict. ”

"In short, people are deceived by data. Because most people don't know how the data comes from and how it comes out. The 'Data Services Department' plays the same role, and is composed of industry elites who are proficient in computer science and pop culture sent by DK headquarters, and what they lack is only localization. ”

"The 'Data Service Department' helps decision-makers provide data, and after determining the direction, the best composers and choreographers will create in this direction, and President Hong's execution ability is exactly what we need most at the moment. After confirming that he had impressed Hong Shengcheng to a certain extent, Lin Ke immediately threw out his chips.

"In our plan, President Hong and Director Choi of the new company will hold 25% and 15% of the shares respectively. President Hong will serve as the representative director of the company. Lin Ke said with a sincere face:

"What D.K Entertainment needs is a stable team led by a head coach, how to choose the coaching staff and lead the team, at that time, President Hong will decide, but in terms of the women's team, we already have a Dreamteam ......"
