Chapter 601: Plucking the strings skillfully
As we all know, in 2004, the South Korean government issued an executive order and its supporting bills to prohibit money transactions between women and men, but two years later, it was found that the turnover of the industry and related economic chains still accounted for 4% or more of the total GDP, which made the South Korean government have to slap itself into a new decree, and the government will subsidize such employees if they do not contribute to the special industry during business trips.

In South Korea's special industry, there is a professional group of middle-aged and elderly women with unspecified titles such as bocas girl, soju woman, coffee girl, squirrel girl, etc., which is ostensibly street vendors selling bizarre foods such as boccas, soju, canned coffee, and fried pine nuts, but in fact it is a cover for the operation of the special industry. Most of these people were young and sold around the U.S. military barracks at Yongsan Base, but the special business industry in South Korea has been thriving since the time of the RB occupation.
Because of the example of the U.S. military, South Korean men who joined the army when they were young have contributed to the cultivation of their country's special industries, including middle-aged and elderly men, and are also willing to buy intimate services in this regard.
With the increasingly severe economic situation, some housewives have to become employees in special industries after their husbands' careers, which makes the business scope and product variety of special industries more abundant, and the efforts of employees and customers have further strengthened the contribution of special industries to South Korea's GDP. Of course, because of this, the competitive environment of the entire industrial circle is becoming increasingly fierce, so some people at the top of the industrial chain are required to seek a better development direction.
Long before the arrival of the second Korean girl group era, some groups that mastered special industries saw the demand for female idol groups in the TV industry, and formed girl groups similar to RB underground or regional idols, and of course, at the request of customers, they also formed many boy groups.
In the United States, the salary of an Oscar-winning actor is completely different from that of an ordinary actor, and this truth is the same in South Korea.
Therefore, the behavior of some brokerage companies or artists to occupy entertainment programs or award resources is not only to anger other brokerage companies, but also to anger people from the industry chain with extremely fierce competition, including many bloody means.
At the same time, some operators in the normal business environment have also seen the great help that celebrities will bring to the company when they do business, but when the economic situation is good, the companies basically don't care about the cost of hiring people from brokerage companies. However, with the advent of the economic crisis, the real economy has been hit hard, and in order to reduce the cost of hiring people, some far-sighted operators have thought of the same method as the operators of special industries - to build their own artist groups.
Phoebe discovers the future of a girl group explosion through Koos's monitoring of South Korean Internet information, and she knows that if Girls' Generation is not placed at an absolute peak before this, then with the emergence of many girl groups, the nature of Girls' Generation will be questioned by many people who have hired a girl group from a weak agency.
This is completely different from going to the barracks for a condolence performance.
Therefore, Phoebe is even more determined in her choice for the formation of next January, knowing that she must participate in the Qatar Rally in South America as a member of Girls' Generation, and try her best to compete for the first place, so that Girls' Generation can get a position that no one dares to question.
Of course, as a clean and professional large brokerage company in the industry, it will also push Girls' Generation to a similar position, but this position cannot be compared with what Phoebe can do.
However, it is impossible for the sisters to figure out the difference, including Sunny whom Phoebe trusts the most.
For a person who lives in a country where he cannot rely on the government for his retirement, but only on his children or even individuals, it is unimaginable to burst out of the fighting spirit when he sees the opportunity, and it is also a common means to denigrate people who are higher than himself.
Phoebe believes that there is no need for her sisters to know many things on the dark side, including Sister Sun, who thinks she knows a lot of things, and they just need to be good members of Girls' Generation according to their own ideas - you can think that hard work is the foundation of everything, you can also think that talent is the foundation of everything, and of course, you can also think that interpersonal relationships are the foundation of everything. And what Phoebe wants to do is to put her sisters in a position where no matter what they want to do, they will always be in a detached position and will have good results.
That's why Phoebe is extremely cold to all outsiders, including the senior artists in the company, on the other hand, she is more friendly to some juniors in the company - in fact, if her friendliness is done by others, it is already indifferent, but because of her previous performance, many people feel that Phoebe is already very friendly to juniors.
Phoebe's friendliness naturally has a purpose, she wants to set an example for everyone to listen to Girls' Generation's words and be treated well - to some extent, Phoebe's idea is actually no different from the company's means of controlling its artists, but because Girls' Generation also has an artist's identity, this makes Girls' Generation not have to attract the hostility of other team's fans like the company, and sometimes even make the fans of other groups unconsciously defend Girls' Generation.
Of course, due to the impact of some scandals that happened before, Phoebe is obviously not as good as the junior boy group when she treats the junior girl group, and the interesting thing is that her thoughts in this regard are very similar to Sunny's.
During her time in Osaka, Phoebe not only inspected the construction plan of the Osaka entertainment base, but also looked at the possibility of building an ultra-small floating island in the offshore area of Osaka, she knew that even in Osaka, the entertainment city plan was managed to compete with the Tokyo entertainment industry, and most importantly, she planned to turn Osaka into a base for Girls' Generation in RB, rather than aiming at Tokyo as soon as RB arrived like other Korean artists.
In doing so, on the one hand, it will allow the Kansai region, which is more receptive to outsiders, to accept Girls' Generation as soon as possible, and on the other hand, it will also be able to form an organic complement to Kansai artists when they are in Kamiro, at least better than diving headlong into the Tokyo entertainment industry without knowing anything.
Moreover, there are many signs that AKB has begun to regard Tokyo as its own territory, even if Girls' Generation cooperates with them, but AKB, which will participate in the Red and White Song Club this year, will become a dilemma that Girls' Generation must face, and it is better to settle in the Kansai region where AKB's power has not yet reached.
What's more, although Tokyo is a place with a developed entertainment industry, the surrounding areas of Osaka are also not weaker than Tokyo, such as Takarazuka, such as mancai, such as rakugo are concentrated in Osaka, these brilliant entertainment industries, just inhibiting the development of girl idol groups like Girls' Generation, after Phoebe cooperated with Osaka's business and entertainment industry, they can not struggle like ordinary groups, but rely on their rapid rise - at least this is much easier than rising in Tokyo, after all, Tokyo's power composition is more complex.
The most important thing is that there are many consulates in Osaka, including the Chinese consulate, and there are some things that Phoebe can contact the Chinese side through the staff of RB, so as not to go directly to China to be too ostentatious, and can also avoid directly exposing the hole cards in the negotiation of certain things.
Barbara and some of the Titan employees knew about Phoebe's plans, and from Phoebe's efforts to find out the means to enter the RB entertainment market, everyone once again saw Phoebe's ability to discover and seize opportunities.
After Barbara told Mrs. Lorek about Phoebe's previous story, Mrs. Lorek didn't say anything at the time, but Barbara could see that the old lady was really thinking, so she gave Glele a look and left, and the next day the old lady said that she was not feeling well and might not be able to go to the racecourse, which made Barbara laugh and quickly called her a doctor.
And Phoebe took Mie Tsukyo and Mika Komatsu to visit a few people, and held two meetings with some collaborators in Kansai, and Dentsu's people also rushed over from the movement, because Phoebe promised a large outdoor projection advertising equipment (in fact, a simplified version of the lost system) Although it was shipped, they dismantled one with selfish intentions, but found that they couldn't understand the structure at all, so they had to chase it to Osaka, saying that they accidentally broke one and wanted Phoebe to get another one for them.
Phoebe is naturally well aware of the plans of the RB people, since the delivery of the Lost Runner system to the US military and some commercial organizations in the United States, Titan has seen a lot of such things, everyone wants to know the structure of the Lost R system, but it has never succeeded. Titan's attitude towards RB people is the same as that towards American customers, it doesn't matter if it breaks, we will recycle and repair it, and it is free.
After Barbara knew about this, she deliberately found Phoebe and said: "Your Highness, unlike in the United States, we have almost no cooperation with law enforcement agencies and the military on the RB side, without the support and suppression of these most needed by the lost person system, people in the business community will still seek the opportunity to get the secret of the lost person system again." ”
Phoebe nodded and said: "I know, the RB people will not give up, but I will not provide the Self-Defense Forces with the lost system, you know, the Pentagon will never allow us to give the lost to foreign military and police forces, didn't the previous events in Germany and France make the Pentagon very annoyed?"
Barbara shook her head and said, "I don't mean to ask you to provide products to the Self-Defense Forces, but to ask you to use stricter standards when dealing with these foreign commercial users, such as sending someone to investigate the cause of the damage and making them pay for repairs or something." ”
Phoebe shook her head and said: "This can't be done, it's extremely irrational to hinder Girls' Generation's plan to land in RB for this little thing, and you have to have confidence in our technology, no matter how much the RB people dismantle it, they can't figure out the technology of the lost person system." ”
"I know that. Barbara nodded first, and then said: "But it's hard to guarantee that they won't think of those scientific and technological achievements that have been idle because of the development of the industrial pattern, if they find this, it is not very difficult to crack the lost, although there is no operating system for us, but they can still develop a similar system." ”
Phoebe nodded, thought for a while and said: "Well, that's right, statistically, the lost system deployed by the United States, France and Germany has been reduced to a very small number of illegal operation records every month, and the RB side has been at the peak level of Europe and the United States from the beginning, it seems that the RB people are indeed very curious about our technology." ”
Barbara smiled bitterly, "Since you know, why don't you take it seriously?"
Phoebe said: "Barbara, do you know what is needed for the development of science and technology?"
Barbara was stunned: "Stable scientific research environment? or demand?"
Phoebe shook her head and said: "I think that it is the different understandings of different values on the same phenomenon that can better promote the development of science and technology, just like Einstein was only a reviewer of the Swiss Patent Office before he proposed the theory of relativity." ”
Barbara nodded and said, "After the unification of the ****** world, the sorting and development of science and technology are also counted?"
"Sorting can be counted, development ......" Phoebe shook her head, and then said: "Don't interrupt, the values of RB people are different from those in Europe and the United States, so it doesn't matter if they toss and toss, and if they don't get it, it will provide us with better direction and ideas, of course, on the surface, we can't encourage them to do this." ”
Barbara sighed and said, "So what are you going to do?"
"Well, the core of several of our projection systems is actually the control system, which is pure software and logic technology, as long as the projection system is cracked, it is not difficult to make a control system, but it is undeniable that although our control system looks perfect, there must be something that can be improved. Now the customer does not find the system problem when applying, but because we thought about a lot of things when we first made the control system, but no one can deny that we will not miss something, just let the RB people with strange values help us figure it out. ”
Barbara nodded slowly, then frowned, "Then are you going to reveal the secrets of the display system to the RB people? Neither the price building nor the NSA will agree, after all, we don't even hide it from them." ”
Phoebe shook her head and said, "Of course not." I'm not that stupid, but the RB people have a strange thing, that is, before a thing is finished, they will synchronously prepare for the next step of this matter, just like their companies basically have the habit of taking all parts and links under their own control, while in Europe and the United States, most of them like to divide the industrial structure with a clearer division of labor, so I have some expectations that they can come up with something, even if they don't come up with anything, it doesn't matter. ”
"That means we're going to have to figure out where the RB people developed the Lost Lost System and the aftermath, right?" Barbara nodded slowly.
"Well, that's right. Phoebe looked at Barbara with a smile.
Barbara rolled her eyes and said, "You're really going to find something for me to do! Okay, or do you want Langley's people to help?"
Phoebe nodded: "Of course, Langley's power is greater in RB, and besides, don't I plan to deploy an ultra-small floating island off the coast of Osaka? ”
Barbara nodded, and added, "Could the Pentagon also be interested in this new floating island?"
"There will definitely be, but our deal with Langley can be done through commercial channels, and there is no way for the Pentagon, and overseas, the relationship between Langley and the Pentagon is still good, but after the Atlantic Floater is built, the Pentagon's power in the South Atlantic will obviously exceed Langley's, how can this be, we are both people from Langley, and Langley can't be too disappointed." ”
"Hmph, you're such a scoundrel who fears chaos in the world. Barbara said with a smile.
Phoebe just shrugged her shoulders.
Barbara said again at this time: "By the way, according to your request, the IRS has increased the verification of Korean businessmen in the west, and the Koreans who wanted to contact you before were anxious all day long, but they still pointed their resentment at the South Korean president like some Korean businessmen targeted by the IRS before, hehe." ”
"Oh. Phoebe replied noncommittally, and then asked, "By the way, the honey and beeswax for my sisters should have arrived, right?"
"When it was delivered, they were eating it while taking care of their skin, and at the same time complaining that the natural appearance of beeswax was a bit cautious, hehe. Barbara laughed.
"Well, that's good, to be honest, I'm a little strange, aren't women very concerned about maintenance, why don't they like to use it when they send the maintenance box a few times, like you like it. Phoebe frowned.
"I can't say this either, probably because they haven't felt the impact of time on their skin, and sleeping in a maintenance box is really scary, they don't trust you as much as the employees of Titan. Barbara pouted.
Phoebe nodded silently.
Barbara continued: "By the way, didn't you say last time that I should recommend the maintenance box to some noble ladies and top actors and singers in the entertainment industry?"
"Oh, yes, what's going on?"
Barbara laughed: "A lot of people are interested, but they are also worried about the results of long-term use, after all, there has been no shortage of disfiguring technology for beauty before, such as X-ray hair removal or something." ”
"Well, North American woman syndrome. Phoebe nodded, and then said: "It's out of the way, let's do it first, anyway, we have contracts with some cosmetics companies, and we won't sell this kind of thing publicly, and my purpose is not to sell products, but to accumulate such contacts for the group." Even if there are not many people who want to experience it, there will be at least one or two people who will use it, and they will be our live advertisements at that time. ”
Barbara touched her neck and nodded.
Phoebe said: "Barbara, there is one thing now, with the change of the economic situation, South Korea has a large amount of money pouring into the entertainment market, in addition to movies and TV series, the idol industry is the focus of these capital investment, Girls' Generation to surpass and distinguish from other groups when the tide is about to rise, there are still a lot to do." As for the matter of participating in the Qatar Rally, the company also wanted me to go. But the return in January next year can't be delayed, so I'll be absent from the singing trip for at least a month, and then not only the fans, but the sisters may not be able to understand, but we can't tell the sisters everything, you can help me like a way to appease them to agree to my choice, okay?"
Barbara didn't ask why she couldn't say too much to the members of Girls' Generation, she actually saw that Phoebe's approach to Girls' Generation was paternalistic, so she asked, "Who are you most worried about?"
Phoebe nodded, knowing that Barbara understood what she meant, and said, "It's okay for the others, I'm most worried about Sister Sunny, you know, her vision is much higher than the others, and she has experienced some bad things, but I don't want her to know more about the dark side, but I don't know how to tell her, you know, she's very shrewd, as soon as I say it, she will notice something, and then she will get to the bottom of me." ”
Barbara nodded and said, "Well, then I'll go to China tomorrow and have a good talk with her." What about the others? I remember Taeyeon often dwelling on some of your practices. ”
"Sister Taeyeon...... It's not a big problem, the company means that they don't want to make it clear that they also want me to participate, but in private, I can ask Kim Doo-seok to tell her that it is the company's meaning, in order to help us create a topic before the return, for example, Phoebe is really going solo or something, which can be used to hype. ”
Barbara shook her head helplessly and said, "You really spared no effort to protect them, regardless of what happened to you at the meeting......"
Phoebe smiled at Barbara and said, "Didn't you protect me like this?"
Barbara rolled her eyes and said, "Well, I know, I'll let people book a plane ticket and go tomorrow, uh-huh, sc, sc."
