"Therefore, according to the assessment of the research company, the Korean market will become very sluggish, and our company's boy group is okay to say, after all, female fans are not as concerned about the Olympics as male consumers, and it is difficult to say about the girl group, especially the new girl group. ”

At the company's board meeting, Kim Young-min has just finished a report on the outlook for the idol market in 2008.

His report is extremely detailed, and his market research is more comprehensive and detailed than when others were in charge of operations before, and the evaluation is more reasonable.

One of the directors said, "Well, we still have to observe the policy of the new president after he takes office after February next year. ”

"That's right, unlike most of the brokerage companies in the industry, we have been shackled by the previous administrations, and the mayor of Lee is the most likely to be elected in the new general election so far. Coupled with the economic situation and the financial sanctions imposed by the United States on the north, he will inevitably be very close to the propaganda position of teenagers here, and the military also needs his permission, so my construction is that the men's group will not be put aside for the time being, and the new girl group will be delayed until 2009 before debuting, as for the girls' generation that has debuted, it is best to gradually reduce the amount of activities and performances, especially some commercial performance itineraries, and must investigate the other party's background more carefully before considering whether to sign a contract. ”

"There is nothing wrong with being careful, not accepting commercial performances, at least you can reduce the chance of being taken advantage of. ”

"In addition, regarding the recent rumors that Director Li Xiuman is pro-American, we asked someone to investigate, but we did not find out the promoter behind it, and it is estimated that there are several possibilities, but the purpose of the other party is nothing more than to take advantage of the recent anti-American sentiment to attack the prestige of candidates who have a relationship with our company. ”

"Oh, we've heard about that, too, but it doesn't seem like the rumors have spread to the lower levels. ”

"Yes, not yet, but I think it's hard to say what the other side means and aims to say when such news suddenly appears at the juncture when the presidential candidate is about to be announced. ”

"So what do you want to do? Regarding the safety of the company, the board of directors will cooperate well. ”

"That's not necessary, there is no need for the directors to come out for the time being, but I think there are already four American members in Girls' Generation, and in the current situation, the slightest instigation will trigger a storm of protests against Girls' Generation, which is extremely detrimental to Girls' Generation, which has just debuted this year. So I made four sets of plans, and that's it, for the situation of these four people. ”

After Kim Young-min finished speaking, he handed over a copy of the article to the directors, and after everyone read it, they slightly diǎn headed, although Kim Young-min was inexperienced in entertainment promotion, but it was quite in line with the directors' minds in this kind of response to the crisis and maintaining the normal operation of the company.

After reading the plan, a director asked, "So, this one called SNN is the most dangerous one?"

Kim Yingmin diǎndiǎn head said: "That's right, after this matter is simply guided, it is easy to involve SNN and Director Li Xiuman, and then the other party can burn the fire on Director Li Xiuman, a SNN is still a small problem, but if the people's dissatisfaction is transferred to Director Li Xiuman, then the blow to the company will be extremely huge, and some people may even use this to intervene in the company." ”

The directors frowned, in fact, although Kim Yingmin said that there was a diǎn unclear later, but everyone understood what he meant, after all, this year in the political circles, the Grand National Party had an incident of members of the advanced coalition faction, and most of the shareholders of the company happened to be party members of this faction.

The year 2007 was an eventful year, on the one hand, the international economy was not in good shape, and on the other hand, the North continued to negotiate nuclear talks with the United States.

Fortunately, the previous national leaders have discovered the great role of entertainment in enriching the lives of the people, meeting the spiritual needs of the people, and guiding the people's thinking.

In addition, it should be noted that in the army, no one watches Korean dramas.

When the company was founded, the national policy was tilted in favor of the company, and they lived up to expectations, successfully saving many teenagers and military personnel whose minds had slipped into danger. It can be said that only after a country, the two most dangerous strata, can it be able to talk about other things in peace.

Moreover, South Korea has a tradition of military coups, and it is necessary to distract those who are impulsive and have a single source of information to do something.

With the development of the idol industry for so many years, the political circles have seen the guiding role of idols on these two classes, which is much greater than those false and empty slogans, so the development of the idol market is more encouraged. However, once the market prospers, it will naturally become a mixed bag, and disputes will increase due to interests.

The trainee system of the company is actually the most in line with the government's wishes, after all, under the ears and eyes of the company, the idols who have been trained for so many years to make their debut, even if they are sent from the north, have been assimilated by the rich life in the south, so since two thousand years later, although the company has not had any stable backing in politics, it has always been beaten first, and then used, but there has never been a government that has carried out a comprehensive purge of the company.

That's the benefit of doing your duty.

In response to the election results, Kim Young-min's 2008 development plan submitted to the board of directors was quite satisfactory to the directors.

Kim Yingmin does have concerns about next year's development, one is the Beijing Olympics, with the current Sino-South Korean relations, it is estimated that it will be difficult for the Saman company at the bottom of the political relationship to show its face on this opportunity, but perhaps the Chinese side will also feel that the political background of the Saman company is not deep, but can allow them to enter the publicity link of the Olympic Games. But this is just the icing on the cake for the company, and it doesn't have to make him think about how to do it.

The most terrible thing is the recent rumor that Li Xiuman is pro-American, and now he doesn't even need any corroboration, since the election, Li Xiuman has stayed in the United States most of the time, and he doesn't even participate in the gathering of entrepreneurs and entertainment circles.

And at this time, the company must not only be careful of Mayor Li's side, but also be careful of the candidates who are unwilling to lose after this election to muddy the waters, forcibly drag the company into the water, and force Mayor Li to clean them up in the future.

It's okay to say that the men's group has debuted for more than a year, and now it depends on whether the general public believes it or not, but the girlhood of the girl group is not easy to say, after all, they have only debuted for three months, and most of the people don't know about this group at all.

Therefore, in the new year, Girls' Generation must be cautious, and the next new girl group will have to wait until the year after next to debut. As for the trainees who will lose some disappointed trainees because of this, it doesn't matter, the most important thing for the company is trainees!

Therefore, after this board meeting, Li Xiuman received the results of this board of directors.

After Li Xiuman read the plan on the nationality of the four people in Girls' Generation, he secretly praised Kim Young-min for being a new generation of business, who knows how to do things in a measured way and has enough wisdom to deal with possible crises.

"But who wants to drag the company into the water?" Li Xiuman secretly pondered.

In his opinion, first of all, no one will definitely target Phoebe, as long as anyone in politics knows Phoebe's true background, even if he doesn't know, he should have some guesses, Phoebe still goes to the U.S. Embassy four times a year to report, and secretly every U.S. ambassador will put forward a request to prohibit Phoebe from changing nationality, which has long made many people understand that Phoebe should be a very important chess piece for the United States.

As for the other two, one father belongs to the political circles himself, although he is not a politician with strong roots, but because of his former boxing experience, he can help South Korea open up the situation in the world fighting community, and he will naturally be treated well by most politicians. The other, who has gained a foothold in the United States and sells a lot of Korean goods to the United States, is also the type that needs to be taken care of in the eyes of politicians.

So it must not be these two.

So it seems that Kim Young-min's prediction was correct, and the directors who forwarded this plan are probably also aware of this, and they all know that the real purpose of the person operating this matter is to dig himself into the water through guò.

Li Xiuman thought for a while and didn't think of who did it, but at least he also understood that as Kim Yingmin Zhong mentioned in the report, "I can't find out the person behind it", which shows that the opponent's strength is definitely not something that he or the company can compete with casually.

I can only see the moves.

After Li Xiuman figured it out, he looked at the time, then called SNN and instructed SNN: "Shunkui, recently, if someone suddenly breaks the news that you are my niece, you must make a nationality declaration as soon as possible, and announce that you will renounce your American citizenship and become a Korean citizen." ”

Li Xiuman is like this every time he calls SNN, never like his elders, but goes straight to the topic, sometimes in SNN's opinion, his uncle is not as good as others. After listening to Li Xiuman's instructions at this moment, SNN was stunned for a moment, and then said blankly: "Uncle, has something happened?"

"It's just that I'm worried about that, so I'll tell you in advance, and don't tell anyone about it, just treat it as if you've never obtained U.S. citizenship in the future, well, if someone asks, you just say it's your grandparents want it to be like this." As for our relationship, we can say it on the BS program, and don't mention it in the programs of other TV stations. ”

"Oh. SNN heard Li Xiuman say so strictly, and suddenly felt a diǎn panic in her heart, she has experienced a lot of things, she knows that there should be more things she doesn't know, and her uncle specifically mentioned BS, which made her mind tighten, after all, BS can be regarded as a national TV station.

"Well, by the way, Phoebe, let her be on time next year to report, as for the arrangements for life and itinerary, don't worry, I will talk to Kim Youngmin. ”

"Oh, got it. ”

"Okay, that's all, well, when you're tired, rest more. I hung up. ”

"Oh, goodbye, uncle. ”

――――――――― hang up―――――――――――

Because of this phone call, SNN had Diǎn absent all day, and after Phoebe noticed SNN's abnormality, she followed SNN for the whole day, so that others gradually saw that SNN had Diǎn Wrong.

"Because in the morning, my grandfather called me and said that he wanted me to renounce my American citizenship and Korean citizenship, and suddenly I was worried about their health. "SNN lied.

However, except for Phoebe, everyone believed it, and they comforted SNN not to worry, Zhu Ying knew that SNN's grandparents were Teacher Li Xiuman's parents, and they were also very concerned, so she simply asked SNN if she wanted to ask for leave to go and see.

A lie often has to be made up for with more lies, but SNN does have a heart at the moment, the point is that she has no idea what is going on, this feeling makes her understand again how small and powerless she is, just like the last time the agency went bankrupt, her uncle Li Xiuman only told her what to do, but never told her why she did it.

This is the most difficult for her to accept.

Finding an opportunity, SNN and Phoebe dodged the others and got together, SNN told Phoebe about Li Xiuman's phone call in the morning, and then looked at Phoebe expectantly.

Phoebe thought for a moment and said, "We still have too few access to information, so it's difficult to think logically accurately. However, in response to this matter, I think it is likely that the company lost the car to protect the handsome, but because it involved you and Director Li Xiuman, I asked Director Li Xiuman to sue you personally. ”

SNN slightly diǎn head, it is indeed possible, however, lose the car to protect the handsome?

Seeing SNN's puzzled gaze, Phoebe said again: "Let's not talk about who Bao is, let's see what is so special about you, Sister Sun." ”

snndiǎndiǎn head, Phoebe said: "First, you are from the trainee system of the non-Saman company, second, you are the niece of Director Li Xiuman, and third, you are a member of Girls' Generation. ”

SNN is at a loss, what's going on here?

Phoebe smiled: "I have a bold association, the recent critical period when the results of the righteous presidential election were announced, and during the election, there have been people inciting anti-American sentiment, I guess, this is probably because the company is afraid that your American nationality will be revealed, and then it will involve Director Li Xiuman and Girls' Generation, at that time, both the director and we are facing national condemnation." It's hard to say what will happen at that time, politics are always dirty, in addition to the need to compromise with each other, there is also to create trouble and contradictions for the opponent, and sister, you are likely to be the beginning of a trouble. ”

snndiǎndiǎn head, she understood, in this matter, although she didn't know the real reason behind it, but Phoebe was right, there were too many flaws in her body, and they were too deadly, as her uncle said, it was necessary to make a decision to go to Korea immediately The solution is to solve it, at least in this way, it is difficult for others to find the thread that involves others in themselves.

SNN does not doubt Phoebe's judgment, although Phoebe is not good at dealing with people, but she is very strong in this regard, and the reason why Phoebe was able to get along well with so many diplomats in Tagulos in the past is because of Phoebe's terrifying analytical ability - you must know that Phoebe is not good at dealing with people. Those foreign diplomats have recognized Phoebe's vision of major matters, how could SNN, as a good sister, disagree with Phoebe's ability? This is why SNN asked Phoebe to help analyze the temperament of each character in Girls' Generation when she didn't join Girls' Generation.

Reaching out and patting Phoebe's hand, SNN finally smiled and said, "It's still you the most reliable girl, hey Gu, I can't live without you, and now I'm much more at ease." By the way, my uncle said that I would wait until someone started to hype up my nationality before I went to get registered, and you said I should go now and do what my uncle said?"

Phoebe felt that Sister Sun's affection became calm and stable, knowing that she was fine, and thought for a while: "I just thought about it according to the known information, and it is not necessarily right, but I think that for my sister, nationality is not a big problem, nationality is just a title that inexplicably divides the crowd, whether my sister is American or Korean, it is my Sister Sun." ”

"Alas~~!" SNN immediately gave Phoebe a big hug when she heard this, and there is no more heart-warming storage than little Phoebe!

SNN, who was holding Phoebe, asked, "Then you mean to let me go and register now?"

"Well, it's too early or late, after all, it's a lack of information, and I don't know what the real situation is, what if things go beyond Director Li Xiuman's expectations, and there is a development in other directions? ”

"Well, that's right. ”

"Moreover, I guess that if it is a political game, it is very likely that the company does not know who is making trouble behind it, and Director Li Xiuman may want to wait for the opponent to make a move, and then find the person who reaches out behind the back, even if he can't fight back, he can also use this to make the company be careful of the other party. ”

"In this way, I really lost my car to protect the handsome, and I was lost twice. SNN smiled wryly.

"Sister, I said that the information is not enough, these are all speculations. ”

"Phoebe, I trust you more than others, and sometimes I think it's better to trust you than to believe in myself, so I listen to you. SNN shook her head and reached out to pinch Phoebe's nose again.

Phoebe blinked, matching this snn's hand diǎn diǎn head.

SNN put down his hand and said, "Are the other two okay except for me and you?"

"I don't know about this, if there is something, the company will definitely have a countermeasure, after all, the company has more information than us, but I speculate that it is likely that the ultimate goal of this matter is the entire company, sister, you are just an introduction. But,Hawkers,This introduction is not something that everyone can do.,After all, Jessica and An are trainees in the company.,Some of their fans knew them when they were trainees.,Will help explain their nationality.,Only sister, you're different from me.,We didn't have fans before joining Girls' Generation.。 ”

snndiǎndiǎn head, signaling Phoebe to continue.

"As for me, I suspect that because of the students and the recent Shui Shui Research Society, the politicians did not dare to put any pressure on me, and although the people don't know the relationship between Titan and me, they know it at a slightly higher level, so no one will target me, after all, the level of energy that foreign entrepreneurs and simple domestic artists can use is not the same. ”

SNN took a deep breath diǎndiǎn head, her wish was actually to want to be like Phoebe, no one could control her life lightly.

Phoebe felt SNN's affection and knew this sister's wishes, so she said: "Sister, what is mine is yours, if you are not happy, just leave here, I will follow you wherever I go." ”

SNN smiled when she heard this, and patted Phoebe angrily and said, "What do you think of other people like this?!

Phoebe diǎndiǎn head, the character of Sister Sun is so charming......

"By the way, my uncle talked about asking you to report again today, if you go there to study, is it okay?"

"Don't worry, that's fine. I've thought about it, the busiest time for us is to participate in music programs on weekends, and I won't participate in variety shows on weekdays or other trips, so I'll be there four days a week, and come back in the morning on weekends to participate in music programs with everyone, so that most of the shows can be on with everyone. ”

"You're going to have a hard time. ”

"It's not hard, and I have another purpose for going, I've finished studying with Brother Haha recently, but at most I can only disguise myself in front of people, and I won't be disturbed by strangers' feelings lightly, but as for this," Fei Bi said diǎn diǎn glasses, and said, "I still don't have a clue, so there must be something brown in front of my eyes, otherwise it will affect other people's subconscious uncontrollably." ”

SNN pouted, then lifted Phoebe's glasses, stared at Phoebe's pupils, and then lowered her glasses again and asked, "Strange, why do I just look at it?"

"I said it all, and that's because I already remember my sister. ”

"Still don't understand, you went there to check your eyes with the help of the information there?"

"Well, at least you can study it secretly, it's too conspicuous to do this research in South Korea, a lot of equipment needs to be ordered, unlike going, it's easy to do it secretly. ”

"Don't let anyone find out, turn around and lock you up as guinea pig. ”

"Hehe, sister, don't worry, I've been careful for so many years. ”

"Well, when will you tell everyone about your trip to the United States?" SNN understood that Phoebe had to go, she was not like others, she would not tie Phoebe, but she was very happy that Phoebe could move freely from herself, in fact, deep down in her heart, she was very worried about Phoebe's future, so Phoebe was the happiest after she proposed that she could act on her own.

"I want to talk about it after the Chinese New Year, there are at least two things to do before leaving, one is to stabilize Sister Taeyan's love, she seems to be afraid that I won't come back if I run away, and the other is to have a good talk with Xu Xian. ”

"Taeyeon," SNN smiled, she actually had Diǎn to understand Taeyeon, and she also liked to stick with Phoebe in the early days, and she would find Phoebe if she had problems, and then she gradually realized that this was actually very bad for Phoebe. As for Xu Xian, this girl ...... Forget it, let Phoebe solve it herself, only the two of them can talk together in the dormitory.
