South Korea, Saman Company, Kim Young-min Office.

Kim Young-min came to the office early in the morning, the news from Li Xiuman from the United States in the past few days has made him a little unable to swallow and can't sleep at night, Universal Music, or the power behind Phoebe, actually provided so much resource support to Girls' Generation in Phoebe's absence, which really made him a little frightened, he could faintly feel that the hearts of the members of Girls' Generation were probably wild.

In fact, every agency will worry about whether the hearts of its artists will become wild, so it is not surprising that Kim Young-min would think so.

After all, the lawsuit with the "three traitors" is still in a stalemate, although Kim Young-min has prepared a coping strategy before, but I have to say that this incident still shakes the status and ruling structure of the company, of course, this also has some advantages, that is, it can allow Kim Young-min to carry out his reform measures more smoothly, so that the company can become what he thinks as soon as possible.

From a certain point of view, Li Xiuman also knows this, otherwise he would not have deliberately gone to that manor in California to be a spy in person, and would contact Kim Yingmin every day.

And Kim Young-min came early in the morning because he knew that it was almost the time for the red carpet ceremony to start in California, and when he heard Li Xiuman mention the location, layout, taste and even the reporters gathered at the door, he was faintly worried about one thing, that is, the Korean media exposed the treatment of Girls' Generation to the United States to the Korean people, which will cause a very serious blow to the image of Girls' Generation in South Korea, and it will also cause other artists in the company to express their dissatisfaction with this- As I said before, the artists in the company will think that the resources enjoyed by the artists are allocated by the company, after all, the company has always done this, such as those artists who go to RB to develop their careers, and the treatment they receive in the place where they live is not very good, if everyone is like this, then the company does not have to worry about the artists complaining, but if the news of Girls' Generation in the United States is revealed, then other artists will definitely ask the company to provide the same treatment when they go to the United States, which is going to die......

Therefore, Kim Young-min was a little nervous about Girls' Generation going to the United States this time, and after Lee so-man personally came to see the treatment of Girls' Generation, Kim Young-min was even more nervous - well, he was actually nervous about whether the news could be blocked, at least in terms of food, clothing, housing and transportation, it could not reach South Korea and reach the ears of other artists and agents in the company.

The key is that Li Xiuman has been checking in the United States for a long time, and he hasn't figured out who is behind helping Girls' Generation- He said that the assistant team of Universal Music that has appeared now actually belongs to a company called Metro Film and Television Company, and the shareholding structure of this company is extremely complex, with a total of more than 110 companies holding shares in Metro Film and Television, and these more than 100 companies, some of which are offshore companies that do not understand the owner, and some are companies that are also controlled by many companies, and behind these companies, there are either more holding companies or offshore companies. In Li Xiuman's opinion, I am afraid that even if the IRS comes to check, it will find that he vomited blood but found nothing, let alone him and the company.

Jin Yingmin understood as soon as he heard it, this kind of company with an extremely complex shareholding structure is either a leather bag company, or the real power behind the people is extremely strong, and the people behind Phoebe He and Li Xiuman have always thought that it is the diplomat family who adopted Phoebe, so he doesn't think there is anything wrong with it, he just lamented that he didn't pay enough attention to it before, and he knew that he would be better to Phoebe at the beginning, but he came step by step to the present, but it made the company very embarrassed when he was on Phoebe- Her family didn't meet with the company at all, and what she said directly to Phoebe would be too much to boost the arrogance of the artist, at least it would make other people in Girls' Generation become very weak when they found out that the company was doing their little favors, and with the first year of junior high school, there must be fifteen, and they will also try to break through the company's bottom line, and over time it will spread to other artists.

Therefore, no matter what, Kim Young-min will not take the initiative to contact Phoebe.

And he came to the office early this morning, because there are still three hours, and Girls' Generation is going to walk the red carpet in California, in fact, there are a lot of people who pay attention to this matter, in addition to the company's top management, and those Girls' Generation fans, there are also middle and senior executives of other companies, as well as many people in the entertainment industry are paying attention to this matter. In fact, Kim Young-min also heard from Lee so-man that JYP, who is also in the United States, took the initiative to call him, hoping to talk about something......

Although this is emotional news, Kim Young-min can also feel that the energy of the forces behind Phoebe has been so great that any action can affect the company's competitors, so how much impact will this have on the company?

In addition, as mentioned earlier, Kim Yingmin is also worried that the treatment of Girls' Generation in the United States will be known by South Korea, which will lead to the management order and people's hearts have not completely stabilized all over the company, and traitors like the three traitors will appear again, which will deal a big blow to Kim Youngmin's plan to transform the management structure of the company, but he has no good way now, so he can only resign himself to fate, on the one hand, he prays that the forces behind Universal Music or Phoebe will not take the opportunity to make trouble, and on the other hand, he prays that Lee so-man, who stayed with Girls' Generation, can appease BOA, and can also use the assistants who were brought over by Kim Doo-seok to regulate the girlhood, and block the source of the news as much as possible.

That's right, Kim Young-min is very glad now, and he agreed to let Kim Doo-seok take the people he selected to the United States - you know, based on the contract signed with Universal Music, Saman does not have to send so many people to the United States, and the contract has stipulated that the operating costs of girls' generation's foreign trips are each responsible for their own expenses, and sending too many assistants is not only unnecessary, but also a waste of money. Originally, Kim Young-min's plan was to send only assistants to ensure the basic operations of Girls' Generation, but before leaving, Kim Doo-seok said that he could contact friends in the United States and entertain the assistant team for free in terms of accommodation and other aspects, which made Kim Young-min agree to the number of assistants proposed by Kim Doo-seok.

But as I said earlier, if there are few assistants, then you can only maintain the most basic operation of Girls' Generation, which actually means that Girls' Generation has no itinerary, and there is no need to go to the company to practice, let alone the state when facing the media. Now Kim Doo-seok has brought nearly 30 people to the United States, so he can control the media reporters on the spot.

Actually, Kim Young-min didn't think about how Kim Doo-seok thought of bringing more assistants, but Kim Doo-seok said when he was going to take people away before that Girls' Generation was nominated this time, I am afraid that it will cause dissatisfaction among other economic teams and artists in the company, so he has to bring more capable candidates anyway, so as to control some news that will cause jealousy of other teams as much as possible when he is in the United States. And although Kim Young-min supported Kim Doo-seok's idea at that time, as the president who was responsible to the board of directors, he really couldn't spend too much money, just to let the assistants of Girls' Generation travel to the United States at public expense. That's why Kim Doo-seok suggested that he could ask a friend to help solve the problem of food and housing, and the fact that Kim Doo-seok's girlfriend is the daughter of a dentsu shareholder is no secret in the company, so Kim Young-min didn't suspect anything.

In any case, in Kim Youngmin's view, everything is now providential, and he only hopes that Girls' Generation's trip to the United States will come to a perfect end at the next red carpet ceremony, on the one hand, it will not make Girls' Generation look humiliating, on the other hand, he also hopes that the media in South Korea will not focus on the treatment of Girls' Generation in the United States, compared to these two points, everything else is actually a small problem......

Kim Young-min dealt with the official document for a while, but because of the Girls' Generation's affairs in the United States, he couldn't calm down at all, glanced at the email, and then looked at the phone, and found that Li Xiuman had not contacted him, which made him a little anxious, which makes attempts to suppress the news on the South Korean side very slim.

After all, in addition to the media, there are also those fans who make trouble at every turn, SONE saw Girls' Generation domineeringly getting off the supercar and walking the red carpet, so he can't make a big deal of it in South Korea?

But the problem is that the jubilant SONES would never have imagined that this would further create enemies for their girlhood.

Now Kim Young-min can only look forward to the supercar team, the civilian supercar used, not those luxury-level supercars, otherwise he really can't save Girls' Generation, and can only let them become the object of envy and envy of the idol circle in South Korea.

And in this way, the investment in Girls' Generation resources next year must also be reduced, otherwise it will be difficult to appease the other artists in the company, after all, the artists under the company are not only Girls' Generation. For example, SJ, they are the group that sacrifices the most this year, not only squeezing out resources for Girls' Generation, but also squeezing out a lot of resources for the company's boy group that debuted last year, and at the end of the year, it ......

Kim Young-min, who was thinking about it in his head, was casually dealing with the official document on the table, and suddenly he saw an official document from the Blue House, the main content of which was to confirm the itinerary of Girls' Generation, and to tell them some rules to follow when eating at the Blue House, Kim Young-min shrugged his shoulders after reading the document, put it aside, and prepared to let people transfer it to the assistant team of Girls' Generation, however, he suddenly frowned again, reopened the document, and after reading it again for a while, he said to himself: " After returning from the United States, I was going to eat at the Blue House when I was a girl...... Did Phoebe deliberately avoid this itinerary to claim an important family reunion?"

From the point of view of time, Girls' Generation can catch up with this trip, only Phoebe, she will not appear until mid-September - the reason why "appearing" is described here is entirely because, when Barbara mentioned Phoebe's family activities, she said that it was a family secret, and it was better not to inquire, which was too hateful...... However, Kim Young-min, who knew that the family that adopted Phoebe was a family of American diplomats, naturally did not express dissatisfaction, but expressed his understanding and support.

But looking at it now, how does it seem that Girls' Generation has been involved in some great political event again...... Could it be that the inside story of being nominated for the Youth Choice Award this time is deeper than what he and Li Xiuman had guessed before?

Thinking of this, Kim Youngmin's eyebrows almost stood up, and he muttered, "Why did you get you in back then...... Li Xiuman is really mentally retarded!"

There was a lot of damage when the company was forced to get involved in politics before, but at least that time it was manageable, and this time, Kim Young-min wanted to call the president and discuss with him if he could stop inviting Girls' Generation to dinner - of course, Kim Young-min just thought about it, and would not really do it.

Kim Young-min even thought of another point: with Li Xiuman's ability, he could not think of anything he could think of, and now that he was in California, it was difficult to guarantee that he would not see anything, if he had reached some kind of consensus with the forces behind Phoebe, what should he do? What should Saman do with the company? Will he fight with himself again for power? Or will he fight with himself for control of a certain group? Or will he fight with himself about the company's development philosophy and direction from the beginning?

Kim Young-min slapped the table in shock and fear: "Damn it...... Could it be that he took the initiative to go to the United States to investigate, but in fact it was just a cover?"

Kim Young-min carefully recalled Kim Doo-seok's performance over the past few days and nodded, although it was not necessary, but Kim Doo-seok would call once a day to report, and at the same time, he would also make an email with a photo to introduce the situation to himself, obviously Kim Doo-seok was very reassuring. Although it is said that the improvement of Girls' Generation's treatment is due to the fact that he borrowed it from his friend - Kim Young-min suspects that it is his girlfriend - but Kim Doo-seok is not wrong in his thoughts, he is the agent of Girls' Generation, and this time Dao America is cooperating with Universal Music, which has a big business, in order not to let Universal Music underestimate the company and underestimate Girls' Generation, he must do his best. Of course, Kim Young-min also heard Kim Doo-seok say that the reason why this manor can be borrowed is actually because Universal Music helps, otherwise it wouldn't have gone so well.

But Li Xiuman, if he had other ideas, then it would explain why his behavior seemed so positive...... Not only did he take BOA to live in Kim Doo-seok's manor, but he also had a good conversation with the people of Universal Music, and even met with JYP......

Everyone knows that Li Xiuman knows many people in the European and American music industry, and his music copyright company can make him at least invincible in the struggle of the company's board of directors for many years. If you look at the previous cooperation with yourself, it is Li Xiuman who is using his own hand to clear the enemies in the board......

"Fooled!" Kim Young-min gritted his teeth and slammed the table.

remembered that Kim Doo-seok had told him before that although Jeon Joo-young was transferred to the new group to prepare, he could still exert influence on Girls' Generation, and Phoebe's variety show "Spider Noodle Restaurant" in KBS2 even allowed trainees who had not been confirmed to make their debuts to participate...... Jin Yingmin clearly remembers that Li Xiuman said before that if the trainees who failed in the selection are left alone, it will have a very adverse impact on the company, the most obvious example is JYP, so he made some small brokerage companies to recruit the trainees who failed in the selection, but are still quite star......

No wonder he adjusted the company's management order and gradually reassigned the employees of the trainee system to work according to their work ability, Li Xiuman was expressing his support - his own approach was actually digging his roots, but he expressed his support, which is very abnormal in itself, why didn't he find out about this earlier? !

"Li Xiuman, you old fox......" Jin Yingmin thought that he was still being tricked by Li Xiuman, who he regarded as an ally, but for a while, Jin Yingmin really couldn't think of any way to prevent Li Xiuman's black hand, because the other party's trick was too beautiful, and he was blinded for more than a year before he found out, and he was probably ready to deal with him. The only thing you can do now is to pretend that you don't know anything, and then find a way to reverse the disadvantage when you have the opportunity......

It is also because of this that Kim Young-min understands that he must trust his own people like Kim Doo-seok more, although they may also be bought by Lee so-man, but Kim Young-min is still confident in this, because everyone knows that Lee so-man values the staff from the trainee system more, and does not pay much attention to the highly educated staff hired.

Just thinking about it, Kim Young-min's mobile phone suddenly rang, and when he saw it, it was Kim Doo-seok's number, and Kim Young-min didn't wait to pick it up immediately.

"President, there is something I have to report to you, Universal Music has brought Girls' Generation nine Silbe's essential flights, which belong to the luxury category...... However, according to them, this is so that people who don't know Girls' Generation will not bully Girls' Generation when they see the back of the car, after all, we assistants in the venue can't stand next to Girls' Generation, and they may face bullying by artists who don't know the situation. ”

"Hmm. Kim Youngmin's mind was running quickly, and then he said in a dignified tone, "It's understandable that they did this, but, Doo-seok, have you ever thought that Girls' Generation was already very good this year, and now it will cause some problems if you want them to ride in a luxury car?"

"President, I'm worried about this, so I'm going to call you quickly, I think Universal Music is doing this, it's too dangerous for the future of Girls' Generation, and I need the company's help. ”

"Hmm...... What did Director Lee say?" asked Kim Young-min.

"He didn't say anything, I think, he's very happy that Universal Music takes care of Girls' Generation so well, by the way, he'll go to the scene with JYP tonight to watch Girls' Generation walk the red carpet. ”

"Well, I know about Girls' Generation, you pay attention, let the people of Universal Music understand the situation that Girls' Generation may face, and ask them to do a good job of news management, after all, that is the source, and I will arrange it here. Kim Young-min said.

"President, I've already told them, and they said it's okay, after all, Girls' Generation is not a star in the United States, and American journalists don't waste camera memory. So just negotiate with some Asian media, and they can also influence the location of the reporter's photo, so that they can't take pictures of the car's logo, so that even if the news is leaked to China, the company can explain that it is not just an ordinary consumer-level sports car, not a luxury-level supercar, I just want to ask you to pay attention to the domestic media in this matter. ”

"Well, well, then it shouldn't be a problem, you try to block the reporter's most over there. Kim Young-min felt that this solution was good, and the matter of controlling the shooting angle was familiar to various brokerage companies, and Kim Doo-seok understood it as soon as he said it, so he asked again, "By the way, do you have any news about Phoebe? Where is she now?"

"I only know that she is in England, nothing else. Is something wrong?"

Kim Young-min's tone was a little indifferent: "It's nothing, it's just that the Blue House confirmed to us that Girls' Generation attended the presidential palace dinner, then I will confirm with the presidential palace that Phoebe is not going." ”

"Ah...... I'm sorry for your help. ”

"It's okay, by the way, is BOA with you tonight, or is it with Li Xiuman?"

"She went to see JYP with Director Lee. ”

"That's right...... Okay, I see. I know about controlling the news, and there is not much of a problem in China, but you should also pay attention to it, and you must pay attention to the accident that the reporter does not photograph the front and rear signs of the car. Jin Yingmin instructed, and finally said in a very concerned tone, "You go and get busy, remember, I believe in you, if you have any difficulties, just call me directly." ”

"Yes, President~~Goodbye, President~~"

Kim Doo-seok's last voice sounded very excited, which satisfied Kim Young-min, who hung up the phone first-well, anyway, there is still an important thing to do now than to deal with Lee so-man, and that is to reduce the danger for Girls' Generation, after all, Kim Young-min is a qualified and professional manager, and he still knows what to prioritize......
