Chapter 151

"No, standing like this will make your feet sore?" Xu Ning started the car and said, "You used to practice dancing or something, didn't you all dance all day long?" ”

"I haven't practiced in a long time." Li Xuanmei said: "Now Leng Buding wants me to stand for so long, it's really a little uncomfortable." "Isn't that a step too big?" Xu Ning frowned and said.

"Hmph, don't worry about it." Li Xuanmei pouted, "What are you going to do after you send me back now?" ”

"Didn't do anything." Xu Ning said: "What's the matter, what's the matter with you?" ”

"Your company's No. 1 group has returned, and you, the president, still have nothing to do at night?" Li Xuanmei was slightly surprised: "When we returned before, the teacher was very busy, busier than us......"

"I'm different from President Park Jin-young." Xu Ning said: "I am mainly a shopkeeper now......

"I don't understand what kind of shopkeeper is a handshake." Li Xuanmei sat in the back and shook her head, "Since you're okay at night, then I won't go back so early, I haven't come out to play for a long time, let's go outside tonight." ”

"Uh...... You are like this, Mr. Li knows? Won't he be angry? When Xu Ning heard Li Xuanmei say this, he immediately had a big head. I've moved back to the apartment. Li Xuanmei said: "Don't worry, Dad won't know." ”

"Uh...... All right. Xu Ning hesitated there for a while, but finally agreed: "Where do you want to go?" ”

"Go anywhere, go shopping." The corners of Li Xuanmei's mouth curled up in a good-looking arc, "I haven't been shopping for a long time, and you don't seem to have gone shopping with me, right?" The one in Busan doesn't count. ”

"Okay, but why don't we go somewhere to get something to eat first?" Xu Ning said: "I didn't eat lunch at noon today, I had a meeting early in the morning, and I went to CJES at noon to discuss things, and then I came to MNET TV station non-stop, and this stomach has been protesting with me......

"Why didn't you say it earlier, then let's hurry up and eat first." Li Xuanmei said immediately.

"Hmm." Xu Ning nodded. The car sped toward a restaurant.

The camera pans to the headquarters of S.M. and the president's office.

"I heard about this afternoon's M! At Condown's singing stage, wondergirls lost to T-ara. Kim Young-min said to Lee so-man: "Although this is just a competition on the singing stage. But I see something wrong with this. ”

"You've just come back from Japan, and it's nice that you care so much about your work." Li Xiuman took a puff of his cigar in his mouth, "Actually, I also see something wrong." But since you've already said it, you might as well talk about the problem you see first, and see if we think the same......" Li Xiuman spit out a smoke ring very chic as he said that.

"Smoke less of this thing, I don't want to smell smoke all day here." Kim Young-min frowned slightly, got up and opened the window, and then said: "Actually, I wanted to talk about this question a long time ago, I see that our main competitor in the Korean girl group market has been replaced, and we have always positioned the main opponent of the Korean girl group market on wondergirls and kara, who debuted in the same year as Girls' Generation, but now." wondergirls' popularity has fallen since they went to the United States, and the constant change of members has accelerated the loss of their original fan group, and kara, hehe, DSP is no longer the original DSP, after Lee Ho-yan suffered a stroke, DSP is even more leaderless, don't look at the current Kara re-fire last year, but I think that's just a manifestation of DSP's hundred-legged insects dying but not stiff, and their threat to us will only get smaller and smaller in the future......"

"That's what we think the same way." Li Xiuman snuffed out the cigar. With a smile on his face, he said, "So where is our real threat?" I'm mainly seeing two at the moment, I don't know how many you see? ”

"Two? Hehe, I also saw 2. Kim Young-min also smiled, "So be it." The two of us also imitated the ancients, and each wrote down these two threats on paper to see if they could be the same. ”

"Just what I want." Li Xiuman nodded, while Kim Yingmin handed over the pen and paper, and after both of them exchanged several pens, they put the two pieces of paper together. I saw two identical girl group names written on two pieces of paper - 2NE1 and t-ara.

"Hahahaha." After reading the pieces of paper in each other's hands, Li Xiuman and Jin Yingmin looked at each other and smiled, and then stuffed the two pieces of paper into the shredder, Li Xiuman nodded with satisfaction: "Sure enough, our views are still the same." ”

"That's what heroes see." Kim Young-min said: "Since you can see it, you must have an idea, right?" ”

"Hehe, I originally had a certain idea, but there have been a lot of things in these two companies recently, and my plan is a little out of line." Li Xiuman shook his head, "You can analyze and analyze, I am a little tired from dealing with the company's affairs alone during this time, and my brain is a little insufficient, otherwise I wouldn't have let you come back from Japan urgently." ”

"Hey, you're old." Kim Young-min said: "I was still wondering at the time, why I haven't finished things in Japan, and you summoned me back in such a hurry, it turns out that you feel a little powerless......"

"Hey, after all, the years urge people to grow old, and the years don't forgive people." Li Xiuman nodded and said.

"Then I'll analyze it." Kim Young-min said, stomping two steps back and forth in the house, "Let's talk about 2NE1 first, this is a basin of cold water that Yang Xianshi poured on us last year, which woke us up from the ecstasy at that time." ”

"yes." Li Xiuman nodded, for this group, he was deeply impressed, in 2009, the girl's generation, which had been suppressed for nearly 2 years, took advantage of the opportunity of the biggest competitor at the time, wondergirls, to go to the United States, and took advantage of a divine comedy "Gee" to soar into the sky, and the fire was a mess, and the momentum was better than that of the wondergirls who had unlimited scenery in 2008. At that time, S.M. released a series of Girls' Generation mini in the middle of the year, thinking that it would continue to have a bumper harvest, but YG launched 2NE1, an "older" rookie girl group, when everyone was not optimistic, but the result of this "confrontation" that should have been one-sided and unsuspenseful made everyone smash their glasses, 2NE1 relied on the excellent rhythm of the title song and the super popularity of the senior brother group BigBang. forcibly blocked the beautiful girlhood at that time. became the biggest dark horse in the girl group market last year.

"At that time, none of us was optimistic that they would succeed, but the reality was really a slap in the face." The corners of Jin Yingmin's mouth also flashed a wry smile, "As a result, people really succeeded, and they still succeeded with us as a background......"

"Yang Xianshi has always been good at taking weird routes. This is true from BigBang to 2NE1. Li Xiuman said: "And this person is very deep in the city, his mood is invisible, and he is extremely low-key, so he is a very terrible opponent......"

"Yes, he's our main competitor at the moment. There is no way to be in the men's group market or the women's group market. Kim Young-min said: "And for a long time to come, I am afraid he will cause us a lot of trouble." ”

"Do you have any comments or suggestions on how to deal with 2NE1?" Li Xiuman nodded and asked.

"At the moment, there's really nothing particularly good to do." Jin Yingmin shook his head and said, "This team, how to say it, actually doesn't interact much with the outside, it's a bit like that kind of European and American way of operating, and many of our methods are on them." Not very easy to make. ”

"Hehe, it doesn't matter." Li Xiuman smiled bitterly at first, and then his eyes flashed again, "Since we can't take the initiative to create opportunities, then we will wait for the rabbit, there are no flawless idols, and there is no flawless operation and packaging, there will always be times when they encounter some trouble, and then we only need to operate a little ......"

"Hehe, I think so too." Kim Young-min nodded. "2NE1 is just as off-the-beaten-path as BigBang, so it's easy to get a little out of the way, even though YG has a good job of dealing with the aftermath......"

"But we're better at stabbing the knife." Li Xiuman said: "Okay, let's talk about T-ara." ”

"Hmm. Actually, I was very optimistic about T-ARA from the beginning. Kim Young-min said: "This is a real idol girl group launched by Kim Kwang-so, although the seeya and davichi he made on MNET before are also good, they are both so-called singer groups, and they are not competing for the same market as us, but this time, he is really going to grab the cake from us." ”

"Huh. Didn't he come to grab the cake from us? How much trouble did SGWANNABE bring us at the beginning, but fortunately, TVXQ boys were competitive enough. Lee so-man sneered and said, "But at that time, SGWANNABE failed to win TVXQ, and the current T-Ara can't win us either, not to mention that Kim Kwang-so has stepped down now." ”

"Regarding his downfall, I was still in Japan at the time, and I didn't know a lot of things, what is the current situation?" Jin Yingmin said: "CCM is not a listed company, just such a small pond, he will actually capsize? ”

"At present, major companies are investigating and paying attention to this matter." Li Xiuman said with a smile: "But according to the information we have at present, he really capsized this time, and his wings have been constantly being cut off recently." ”

"Would he be so willing to be manipulated?" Kim Young-min said: "His temper, and those backgrounds in the underworld in the past......"

"It's not okay if you're not reconciled." Li Xiuman said: "According to the information we have so far, the current president of CCM is actually just a puppet, and the two real controllers behind the scenes are the two backbones of MNET who rebelled against MNET with Kim Kwang-so back then, and this time the two of them teamed up to pit Kim Kwang-so, making Kim Kwang-so an incomparable wreck......

"Oh? Is there such a thing? Kim Young-min frowned, "Actually, Kim Kwang-so is a very difficult guy to deal with when his mind is clear, but once he makes a brain pump, it is easy to make some very low-level mistakes, this time it is estimated that his brain is pumped, right?" But it's not a bad thing for us. ”

"Yes, there are no two days in the sky, and there are no two masters in the country." Li Xiuman said: "Although the CCM is now the two people behind the scenes, but in the end there can only be one helmsman, and the two of them have to fight in the infighting again, besides, the puppet president may not be a simple character who is willing to be a puppet, he has a close relationship with the son of the Li family, and he also has dealings with Baek Changsu, Bae Yongjun, etc., if he suddenly gets into trouble, it will be enough for the two of them to drink a pot, not to mention that Kim Kwang-so has not completely fallen down, and his descendants have always been a force to be reckoned with......."

"Okay, Kim Kwang-so's matter, let's look into it later." Kim Young-min said: "Let's continue to analyze T-ara, in fact, this team, I have always felt that they have a lot of similarities with the girls' generation when we first launched, but they are older and more mature on average, and they have a good appearance, which is very popular with those otaku......"

"And the route that CCM created for them before is also very unique, there is no fixed style, one route at a time, and give full play to their appearance advantages." Seeing that Li Xiuman nodded straight when he heard it, Jin Yingmin continued: "Coupled with the publicity and promotion effect of this year's hit drama "DreamHigh", their popularity has begun to rise...... We all watched how wondergirls fell before, and now Girls' Generation has moved to Japan, which is a great opportunity for them......"

"Then you say, what are we going to do with them?" Li Xiuman said.

"This ...... I think in fact, as long as we don't let Girls' Generation go back to South Korea for a while, like Park Jin-young who let Wondergirls go to the United States for more than a year, it will be enough for us to maintain our lead. Kim Young-min said: "After all, our strength is still not comparable to the ...... of CCM."

"You're a little stupid." Li Xiuman smiled and shook his head, "I have a simpler method, and the effect is definitely much better than what you just said." (To be continued.) )
