Chapter 481: Three Factions

After Girls' Generation returned to South Korea, except for Taeyeon, Yoona and Phoebe, the members of Girls' Generation had a lot of time to rest every day, and everyone was quite uncomfortable with this, after all, even in the week after the lights out incident at the Dream Concert, everyone could at least get news about themselves from the media and the Internet every day, and now, they have almost been forgotten by the public.

It can be said that Phoebe's plan to go to the United States to shoot a group show has allowed everyone to avoid a situation from directly facing malicious comments to gradually fading out of public view, which is a situation that will make people feel that the whole world is full of malice towards them, and they are gradually dying like this.

But after returning from the United States, the members still have a psychological gap, after all, they developed smoothly in the first half of the year, but in the second half of the year, there was almost nothing.

In Phoebe's opinion, this is better than gradually stepping into death, and even from another point of view, the sisters can think that the next half year is the last half year before the debut of Girls' Generation.

In fact, when filming the group show in the United States, Phoebe mentioned this matter to her sisters, but at that time, everyone did not have a deep understanding of it.

Phoebe's explanation of the adjustment period of half a year, everyone is still very skeptical, after all, the outside world's evaluation of them before, it can be said that they completely denied their previous image, but after the company knew this statement, it praised Phoebe, after all, the company did not let Girls' Generation, a carefully selected resource collection, dissolve from the beginning.

The reason is very simple, the company knew the risks of the girl group market before the debut of Girls' Generation, so in addition to conducting a thorough investigation of the behavior of the girl group members themselves, excluding some members with bad personalities and behaviors, it also has a detailed investigation of the family background of the group members, and the family background of all people can help the company get more resources to a certain extent. Even Phoebe has been investigated by the company, and a small number of people in the company know about her adoption relationship.

It's just that Kim Young-min's series of projects do not effectively use the family backgrounds of the members of Girls' Generation, but adopt the idea that seems to have the highest cost-effectiveness ratio on the surface - scandals and hype. In fact, it can't be said that Jin Yingmin's thinking is wrong, after all, from the perspective of professional managers, modern companies pay attention to system and efficiency, rather than nepotism, under strict and effective system management, everything in the company will be on the right track, in this case, the company will become more vocal when integrating the family resources of the members, and the implementation can also achieve the optimal ratio of resources, after all, the company is not only one or two artists, the company should balance all artists in terms of resources, it cannot be said which artist is stronger at home, he can enjoy more resources。

However, on the other hand, under Jin Yingmin's management thoughts, the company does not recognize or even strongly opposes the resources operated by the artist, after all, after the company pays resources to make an artist famous, if the artist uses the status he has obtained to manage his personal resources, it is obviously extremely unfair to other artists in the company.

On the contrary, the old-school managers represented by Li Xiuman, although the survival of the fittest is not the dominant ideology in their management thinking, but under their management, the imbalance of resources obtained by their artists is indeed an indisputable fact. And Lee so-man and his wife are not opposed to artists trying to broaden their resources, and even let artists who have debuted for a long time participate in the management of the company - this started before the Shinhwa group fled the company, and the most famous of them is that a member of HOT participated in the project and provided ideas and ideas when they debuted in SJ and Girls' Generation.

Speaking of which, the idea of Li Xiuman's faction is to take market demand as the benchmark, and at the same time accommodate, absorb and even exchange some resources to help the development of the company's artists. But the market benchmark mentioned here is not what everyone thinks the audience will buy on the surface. After all, if this is the case, when there was a boycott of Girls' Generation in society at the beginning, it would be better to simply not let Girls' Generation debut.

The mainstream thinking of Lee so-man's faction actually has a characteristic, and this characteristic was successfully experienced ten years ago - after HOT's debut, the mainstream thought in society was quite disgusted with HOT, but it was at that time, under the insistence of Lee so-man and other old-school managers, the final result is naturally known to everyone, HOT opened up the vast idol market in South Korea, and it is precisely because of HOT's persistence in that period that Saman Company has become a real pioneer and leader in the Korean idol market.

Therefore, Li Xiuman thinks that it is a good thing that the mainstream opposes Girls' Generation, which means that Girls' Generation will fully develop the market for female idols like HOT. The girl groups before Girls' Generation, including WG, which was in the limelight at this time, were just followers of men's idol groups, and when they developed to a certain extent, they would only go abroad to make money like men's groups, rather than completely expanding the market for later girl groups in South Korea.

Future facts have proved that Lee so-man and their ideas are right, but within the company, whether it is Kim Young-min or the shareholders, they don't think that Girls' Generation can take on such a heavy responsibility, and Lee so-man is not absolutely sure about this, they just have feelings in this matter.

However, under the management ideas of Li Xiuman's faction, the company's efficiency is indeed criticized, especially when there are more and more shareholders in the company, there is a third group of managers, who basically have no fixed leader, but the idea of this part of the management personnel is only responsible for shareholders, and all inputs must have rich output.

This part of the people represents the shareholders' disgust with the company's previous poor efficiency, and it is this part of the people who participated in and helped the rise of Kim Yingmin's faction, but after Kim Yingmin gradually grasped enough right to speak, the third group of people also began to gradually oppose Kim Yingmin, because he is like Li Xiuman in some things, he is very good at "wasting money", and even often "mistakes" in planning, which makes the company's stock price fluctuate heartbreakingly.

However, the influence of these people on the company is not particularly strong, especially when the two factions of Kim Young-min and Lee so-man are standing in the foreground, and the third faction swaying with the wind is a faction that the outside world cannot see at all. However, it is precisely because the outside world can't see them that this makes it so that in some things, when the third faction opposes Kim Young-min or Lee so-man, the outside world thinks that the two factions of the company are fighting each other.

So it's really like because there are three factions in the company, so many times the opposition raised by the third faction because the plans of the two factions are too wasteful, and outsiders regard it as a struggle between the two factions. How stupid do you have to be to admit that the brokerage company that has always been the number one in the industry has split into two factions, but it can always maintain the leading position in the industry and have always had the absolute right to speak in the circle, and even win when fighting with the TV station?

It is a fact that the two major factions of the company are dissatisfied with each other, but that is only for their management and planning ideas, in fact, whether it is Kim Young-min, Lee so-man or the third faction, there is a premise, that is, the company must obtain the maximum benefits, the real difference is the difference in vision and means, and the way of behavior.

In fact, the factional consciousness of the vast majority of the company's insiders is also very vague, except for those who have not debuted as trainees who have become company employees, most people do not think that they belong to a certain faction, so the company will only think that there are two factions at most, one is the employees who are recruited from outside, and the other is the employees who joined the company because of the company's tradition of taking care of trainees.

With such a cognitive premise, the topic turns back to Girls' Generation, and looks at the company's attitude towards Girls' Generation, which has no itinerary and is still boycotted by society.

First of all, Li Xiuman and his family, they think that as long as Girls' Generation can persevere, they will definitely become the originator of the new girl group market. At the same time, the members of this group are still carefully selected because of their family background, and their families will more or less help Saman Company to integrate more or less more resources, which is impossible for Saman Company, which essentially depends on resources for a living.

The second is Kim Young-min's family, most of them look at the brand of Girls' Generation with the thinking of modern managers, they think that Girls' Generation's previous experience is just that the company's planning route is wrong, for such a carefully selected combination - here is the selection of character - they think that it is one of the brands with the best quality, most of the previous things are because of decision-making mistakes, and in modern enterprise management, decision-making mistakes do not mean that the product is a failure, just change the decision-maker. But when it comes to character, Girlhood is impeccable. At least when I was a girl and a supergirl, this group of people led the conduct inspection of the pre-selected members, and some of the people who were eliminated once asked why young people should not be given another chance after making mistakes, and Kim Young-min's answer to this was, "In the company, once the character problem is found, there is only one way to clear it, because the company cannot afford to launch defective products to the public, and as for the opportunity to make amends after young people make mistakes, isn't there another agency that can go......"

From a certain point of view, Kim Young-min and his family pay more attention to the conduct of their artists, because they know that launching an idol group to the public is not only a brand, but also a brand that stands behind the group, and they will never allow anyone to corrupt the brand, unless the person who did the wrong thing has the ability to completely remove all negative records and promise that it will never be dug up in the future.

Therefore, they have also inspected Phoebe, otherwise Phoebe would not have been allowed to join Girls' Generation, although it was supported by Lee so-man's family, the reason was that Kim Young-min and his family saw Phoebe's experience of experiencing ups and downs, and their part-time work experience during independent life, they felt that such a quality of self-improvement and never falling due to adversity met the standards of girlhood.

The third group is different, they are against the company continuing to support Girls' Generation, and now it seems that the Girls' Generation, which has come to an end, has come to disband, and the company will have a new girl group debut next year, why waste resources on outdated girl groups, instead of concentrating on adding bricks and tiles to the new girl group?

But wait, first of all, the power of the third faction is not large, at the same time, the two major factions of Kim Young-min and Lee so-man jointly pit a group of shareholders who like to tie up the company in politics and invite their forces out of the board of directors, which makes the power of the third faction suffer a heavy blow, many people know that as long as the dissolution of Girls' Generation is mentioned at this time, it is to touch the reverse scales of the two factions, especially Kim Young-min and his own admit, the predicament encountered by Girls' Generation is not unrelated to the planning mistakes of their faction, but they also believe that choosing Girls' Generation to debut itself is a correct decision, and they need time and opportunity to adjust the direction of the plan。 And once Girls' Generation is really disbanded, then it will represent a complete failure of Kim Young-min and his faction, young people, if they fail, they should be given another chance, isn't it?

But these ideas and changes in the company's top management, Girls' Generation and the middle level of the company are not known, especially the party of Girls' Generation, they now deeply feel the huge psychological gap between the previous full schedule and now there is nothing to do, but as Phoebe said, at least it is better than staying in South Korea all the time, feeling the malice of the outside world, and at the same time moving towards "death" step by step It's good, because they can really think that what everyone can do after returning from the United States is really similar to what they did before their debut last year, but everything feels a little different, especially Kim Doo-seok, the new general agent, who replaced Kim Joo-young who accompanied them on his debut, and what he did is really the same as what Kim Joo-young did when he didn't debut in the past......
