Chapter 670: Sorrow
Seoul, South Korea, Saman Company. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Kim Young-min was talking to a person in the same company on the phone: "Well, this is Kim Doo-seok's suggestion, I think it's the best method we can use at the moment, after all, no one knows what the people in the north want to do." ”
The person on the other end of the phone was silent, and Kim Young-min did not continue, but leaned back in the chair and waited for the other party's reply.
After a while, Li Xiuman's voice came from the other end of the phone: "The problem now is, no matter what we do, as long as we send Phoebe to the United States, I'm afraid the media here will be free to play again, and if the people in the north also have any ideas, I'm afraid we will be in even more trouble." ”
Jin Yingmin sighed slightly, he also knew this, but now that the north suddenly began to report on Phoebe and Li Yunxin, it is difficult to say whether there is any other purpose behind it, and the most important thing is that if someone uses this to do something to the Samsung Li family, it will be uncomfortable for Phoebe and the company to be involved.
Besides, Phoebe's family background is also very high, although I didn't know it before, but at least now I know that Phoebe is the adopted daughter of the U.S. ambassador, and she has a good relationship with the family of the previous U.S. ambassador, which is what everyone learned when they asked Universal Music if they could change the main agent representative of Girls' Generation after offending Barbara a few years ago.
It was only then that Saman understood why someone had warned the company that it could not let Phoebe change her nationality.
As for why Phoebe's personal company is so successful, Li Xiuman also understands, and he even vaguely hopes to introduce the power of Phoebe Company into Samman's company, so as to become his own strong reinforcement - yes, on the surface, he has reconciled with the shareholders represented by Kim Yingmin, but in fact, this is only the beginning of a new round of open and secret fighting.
Just like after every election campaign, political forces will carry out a new consolidation, and after the integration, they will naturally enter a period of stable development, and after a period of time, there will be another adjustment of power with the re-election.
Therefore, when the top management of the company suddenly began to report on Phoebe and Lee Yoon-xin, the first thing that came to mind was Phoebe's family history -- they should have thought of Lee Yoon-xin first, not Phoebe -- that is, they had begun to gradually classify Phoebe and Lee Yoon-xin's status on a unified level.
This is also the real reason why when Phoebe took it upon herself to participate in the radio program on January 20, the company's top management did not have any opinion at all.
Therefore, when Kim Doo-seok said that because of the reports from the north, it would be better for the company to make a gesture of punishing Phoebe, the real reason why the company was not very happy to do so.
It's one thing to be willing to do it, and it's another thing to prevent possible risks in advance, so the company's top management understands that at the very least, before the South Korean government has anything to say, at least to protect Girls' Generation, after all, the first month's resource tilt is very effective, in case Girls' Generation is hit again for some reason, there is no way to change the "four-month tilt" agreement to other combinations.
As a result, sacrificing Phoebe became the most appropriate solution at the moment - but none of the company's four major forces have mentioned it in public.
In private, Kim Yingmin and Lee so-man have actually communicated many times, but both of them also understand that it is better to let others mention this matter, even if it is delayed until something really happens, it is better than taking the initiative to bring it up.
It can't be helped, sometimes joint-stock companies are like this, and it's a bit like the bystander effect in psychology.
Unexpectedly, Kim Doo-seok actually took the initiative to find Kim Young-min, and took the initiative to propose a new image arrangement for Phoebe, whose personal image planning rights belong to the economic team - that's right, Kim Doo-seok didn't mention the report in the north, and he was talking about Phoebe's new image design, but Kim Young-min immediately understood that Kim Doo-seok was simply anxious, and most importantly, Kim Doo-seok also said that this was discussed by him and the economic team and Phoebe.
So, after saying to Kim Doo-seok that he wanted to think about it, Kim Young-min, who watched Kim Doo-seok leave the office, immediately contacted Lee so-man, who has been working very well recently.
Compared with Kim Yingmin, Li Xiuman has more contact with Phoebe and understands that Phoebe's ability is quite strong, so he even suspects that the main designer of this so-called new image plan is Phoebe.
However, he did not immediately say yes or disagree, but emphasized that one of the changes that may arise due to the report from the north is that our company will be very uncomfortable when it comes to the transfer of the rights of the Samsung family.
Kim Young-min immediately understood what Lee so-man meant, didn't he mean that if there was no problem that everyone was worried about, would Lee Yoon-hyun, the recognized owner of Knowles Light, and the takeover of the mysterious Ai Hui Music shares, take revenge on the company for "banishing" Phoebe to the United States for nearly a month?
Kim Doo-seok is also bitter in his heart, Li Yunxin, you are a good and very promising rich girl, what kind of star are you chasing!
Yes, in the eyes of businessmen, if it is due to policy pressure from the government, although it will cause some problems for a while, there will always be a way to solve them. But the descendants of rich families are different, she already thinks differently from normal people, and after chasing stars, she will definitely be even more abnormal, and she can't communicate well at all.
Therefore, the meaning of Li Xiuman's words is actually: Who will appease Li Yunxin, who is likely to be blown up because of Phoebe's "injustice", you know, Li Yunxin has just become a national representative with the help of Phoebe.
is a prominent rich girl, and she has become a national representative, Phoebe's backstage is simply too confusing.
Jin Yingmin was also surprised, stroked the frame of the mirror in distress, and said with a wry smile: "You can't let Phoebe come forward to persuade her, right?
If it wasn't Kim Young-min who said this, but someone else in the company, Li Xiuman would definitely immediately say this: "Then according to this, everyone doesn't want these honors that Phoebe has brought to the company, right? With the help of Li Yunxin's fame, everyone doesn't want some of the resources they have talked about, right?"
But for Jin Yingmin, Li Xiuman thinks this partner is good, so he also smiled bitterly: "That's right, I'm worried about this, speaking of which, Fei Bi is a little disobedient to discipline, but on the face, she is more protective of the company than ordinary people, so let's stop talking to her secretly, at least she is much more sober than those young artists." ”
This time, it was replaced by Kim Young-min who didn't speak, but just sighed, running a company and maintaining balance in all aspects is really not a simple matter.
Li Xiuman knew that Kim Yingmin belonged to the kind of modernists who wanted the company to be maintained in accordance with the rules and regulations, rather than the plot of grace, so he definitely couldn't get over this hurdle, so he said: "You also know that Phoebe has her own company, her company is running quite well, I think she can distinguish what is reality and what is ideal than ordinary young people, and she also has a clearer understanding of risk avoidance, I have to say that high education does represent high ability, even if she still graduates." ”
Kim Young-min couldn't help but laugh, Lee so-man was actually praising the talents who Kim Young-min has been insisting on regularization and institutionalization in disguise.
Therefore, Jin Yingmin also knew that in order to make himself agree, Li Xiuman even began to praise his approach in disguise, and he couldn't help but give him face, so he said: "Well, in comparison, although highly educated people have more ability, but ability is not necessarily related to academic qualifications, sometimes interpersonal relationships are more important, especially in companies like ours, sometimes verbal agreements are more binding than contracts." ”
As soon as Kim Yingmin's words were finished, Li Xiuman secretly scolded the "four-eyed fox", you know, Li Xiuman is also a highly educated person, but his ass is sitting on the other side, so Kim Yingmin's words praised Li Xiuman's person, but then pointed out another thing, that is, Jin Yingmin will never talk to Phoebe, if you want to talk, you can only go to Li Xiuman's old man's house.
And what Jin Yingmin said is also very reasonable, that verbal agreement is more binding than the contract, obviously referring to the contract signed by Li Xiuman when he signed Phoebe into the company, if you have to do it in accordance with the provisions of the contract, this time the company wants to "temporarily refrigerate" Phoebe's practice, which is obviously a breach of contract, so he Kim Yingmin will never do it, if you want to do it, you old-fashioned people who like to pay attention to relationships can only talk about a verbal agreement with Phoebe.
Li Xiuman actually didn't want to talk to Phoebe either, you must know that the last time he talked to Phoebe was more than half a year ago, when even his niece didn't help him, and watched Phoebe unleash her coat wrapped in the bottom line little by little, and calmly took away the biggest benefits, and although she also got benefits, it was too much worse than she expected at the beginning.
Therefore, Li Xiuman is actually quite afraid of directly talking to Phoebe about things that may involve interests.
Before, there was also a Joo-young who completely took refuge in him and contacted him, but as Kim Doo-seok has inserted himself into Girls' Generation in the past few months, the new assistant who has inserted himself into Girls' Generation will either be kicked away or subdued, and Lee so-man will understand, no wonder Kim Young-min behaved so simply when he let go of Girls' Generation, the reason is that Kim Doo-seok's kid's ability is so strong that Kim Young-min is too reassuring.
The most infuriating thing is that Kim Doo-seok almost deceived himself, thinking that this kid who had no foundation was ready to take refuge in himself, but in the end...... I don't believe in the discipline of those college students anymore!
Well, speaking of which, Li Xiuman is also a highly educated family......
To tell the truth, when dealing with Phoebe, a little girl, whether it is Li Xiuman or Jin Yingmin, they have felt extremely tricky, but fortunately, Phoebe will not completely confront the company every time, so many people who don't know think that Phoebe is succumbing to the company and respecting the authority of the company, but in the eyes of Jin Yingmin and Li Xiuman, the two witnesses, it is not the case, but the skill and heart of Phoebe that girl in the negotiation, as well as the foresight of the direction of things, always make people feel that they are dealing with an old fox who has been galloping in the business world for many years and can comprehensively use various favorable factors, rather than a little guy who is less than twenty years old。
Negotiating with such a person, a simple win or loss once or twice, it doesn't matter at all, the important thing is that if such a little girl who looks like an old fox feels dissatisfied, and then thinks about what to do if she finds a place from somewhere else, this is the most troublesome.
Needless to say, at this time last year, Phoebe didn't want the company's private settlement money at all, so that Kim Doo-seok was both experienced and afraid, and the opponent who didn't value money was the most terrible opponent.
It's no wonder that Li Yunxin, a character who shows off her wealth to the point of boiling public resentment, can have such a good relationship with Phoebe, because they are almost the same kind of people - abnormal people.
Generally speaking, the top executives of the company who have this perception of Phoebe have long been reluctant to contact Phoebedo, but in the eyes of the two strongest forces, Lee so-man and Kim Young-min, they cannot allow other forces to have a better relationship with Phoebe, because Phoebe not only has the ability, but also has the background - on the one hand, her adoptive parents as everyone knows now, and on the other hand, it is obviously her fan Lee Yoon-xin.
The combination of these two aspects has indeed made Phoebe a scarce resource, and Kim Young-min and Lee so-man have joined forces very tacitly to prohibit other forces in the company from establishing contact with Phoebe.
Therefore, although neither of them wanted to talk to Phoebe, they both knew that the only person they could accept to talk to Phoebe was the other party.
And Li Xiuman is obviously at a higher priority level in this matter, after all, it was he who got Phoebe into the company and into Girls' Generation.
Li Xiuman actually knew that after having the method that Kim Doo-seok said, it was estimated that this matter could only fall on his head, so although he also encouraged Kim Yingmin verbally, Jin Yingmin blocked himself with stronger words with his backhand, so he had to smile bitterly: "Okay, I'll talk to Phoebe in the afternoon." By the way, where did she go today?"
Kim Young-min glanced at the computer screen next to him and said, "Oh, I remember it seems to be SBS's Sunday." ”
Li Xiuman said: "What kind of national MC's bathhouse is that show?"
"Hmm. It's HappyTogether. Jin Yingmin nodded first, and then said strangely: "Don't you usually watch these shows?"
"It doesn't make sense, and I'm not teaching variety shows. Li Xiuman replied.
Kim Yingmin complained in his heart: The old stubbornness who can't accept new things.
At the same time, he said: "Anyway, this show has made Liu Zaishi very popular, and the ratings have been good since the day before yesterday." ”
Speaking of this, he shook his head again and said: "It's a pity that the miracle winner and loser of SBS messed up, or our people would have become permanent members of the show." ”
This Li Xiuman knows it, but she knows it better, because of that show, it has created a lot of rifts for Girls' Generation and other groups in the company.
Therefore, from a certain point of view, Li Xiuman is indeed dissatisfied with Liu Zaishi.
And his dissatisfaction is also very reasonable: my artists have put down the burden of idols, and they follow you to be funny regardless of the image, and when I look back, this show smashed you and didn't do anything, but my artist was scolded by fans in various ways, you really can......! You can even apologize for being able to buy people's hearts!
But in Kim Yingmin's view, this is really not a thing, this is the essence of economic behavior, Liu Zaishi sells his own image, which is actually no different from the image of an idol artist sold by the company, so he doesn't speak fairly, isn't it a normal thing?
It's that Jiang Hudong, who thinks he is a very righteous big brother, has said fair things, but there are always some things that he can't pick up in terms of his own image, so it's better not to say it!
That's right, although Kim Young-min and Lee so-man have cooperated, in essence, the ideological conflict between the two is quite big.
Therefore, from a certain point of view, Li Xiuman really admires Phoebe, like Phoebe participated in the filming of "Infinite Challenge" twice, but she was actually ruthlessly losing face to Liu Zaishi. To tell the truth, Li Xiuman watched "SP Red Eye Special" and "Cool Special" specifically to see Phoebe's performance, especially when watching "Cool Special", Li Xiuman was shocked by Phoebe's ability that Phoebe had never shown in the company, and on the other hand, he was also very happy that his niece and Phoebe together set off the nature of Liu Zaishi.
Of course, it can also be said that Li Xiuman watched it with an attitude, which was a little unfair, and Liu Zaishi's performance in "Cool Special" can also be said to be a screen image...... But what does it matter, at least Li Xiuman saw what he wanted to see, and he was not the only one who saw such content, in the Korean business circle, sometimes it is very important to pay attention to who can be helped, and who only carries out pure interest exchanges.
After thinking about it for a while, Lee so-man said: "Okay, I'll contact Kim Doo-seok, and after their filming is over, I'll invite the members of Girls' Generation to a meal, which can be regarded as a private reward for their ability to get out of the shadow of failure so quickly." I'll find a chance to talk to Phoebe when the time comes. ”
Kim Young-min thought about it and felt that this doctrine was good, if Lee so-man went to the filming site of "HappyTogether" and waited for Girls' Generation, who knows what news would come out, and the media may soon make up "news" such as: "Lee so-man and Lee Yoon-xin, who will Phoebe choose".
However, he joked and said: "Then in this case, I'm afraid I'll have to break the bank in the future, can't you invite Girls' Generation, I don't say anything, right?
"Well, it's been 09 years, the Olympic year has passed, and everyone had a hard time last year, so it's time to boost morale...... Well, these kids are so troublesome, if you give candy to one person, you have to prepare a sack of candy for the others. ”
Jin Yingmin smiled: "Hehe, isn't the brokerage company like this, I'll study this idea here and give you a plan book later." ”
"Well, that's fine. ”
After hanging up the phone, Kim Young-min recalled Li Xiuman's words about preparing a sack of sugar just now, nodded with a wry smile, sighed slightly, and began to study some activities in Japan next month- Japanese TV companies have gone crazy to shoot documentaries for Girls' Generation, and many artists who have been working hard in Japan have complained a lot about this, obviously they are in order to open up the Japanese market in front of them regardless of the full trap of injuries, overcoming one difficulty after another, but in the end, the Japanese took the initiative to come to Girls' Generation, which is too frustrating and unfair!
Girlhood obviously didn't do anything, but was boycotted for a while, and then stopped active for half a year, and then suddenly became famous!
Firm...... It's so unfair!
"How to give this candy to ......" Kim Young-min frowned and thought about it for a long time......
