Chapter 21: Human Affection

readx;?“ Burned to S.M?" Ah Jiu frowned slightly and asked, "How do you say that?"

Li Xiuman sighed and said, "In South Korea, the entertainment industry is being done as a pillar industry. It is not exactly a commercial act, but a state act, the advantage of this is that you can rely on the help of the state to quickly carry out the development of the industry, but there are also drawbacks, that is, many business rules, in the face of the state behavior seems so pale, or even said that it does not work. Every year, the cultural industry revitalization department will give guiding opinions, suggesting which direction each company should develop, and even sometimes limit the scope, such as in order to support the artists of another company, so that the artists of a certain company are not allowed to return to the country for a few months. Of course, this is not an absolute thing, it can be discussed, but the right to speak for consultation is based on one's own strength. Sometimes, in order to leave room for things, we have to make all kinds of exchanges, such as if we don't want to give up the return of the country, we have to send out troops to perform, or participate in government exchange activities such as the 'China-Korea Song Meeting' for free, and even in order to cover up the scandals of the government, the scandals of some artists at a specific time to divert attention, etc., these are all things that need to be discussed. ”

"Because I don't have a backer, S.M has had to do a lot of these things over the years. Kim Young-min and I both know this, and neither of us can do anything but think about holding on to the past of this government and waiting for the dawn. But what we didn't expect was that some forces in the government no longer gave us the opportunity to wait. Remember the competition between me and Kim Yingmin last year, all along, we have a tacit understanding, that is, add up to each other, grasp 100% of the company's right to speak, but last year when the hole cards were shown, we suddenly found that we thought that the hole cards in our hands were not actually our hole cards. At first, we thought that the other party was superior, but when it was over for a while, he said he was sick and I went to visit him, and we talked about it, and we were shocked to realize that it was not the other party's hands and feet, but unknowingly, a large part of S.M's capital has been manipulated by a third party!"

"This discovery led me to join forces with Kim Young-min, and under our secret investigation, we discovered the truth behind it. Indeed, a third party has already intervened in the power struggle of S・M, and their combined shares have exceeded 20%, which is a very threatening ratio, and it only takes a little more time to let their capital exceed 30%, and they have the ability to shake S・M's foundation. It is precisely because of this that Kim Young-min and I have designated a new round of financing plans aimed at diluting each other's capital ratio. But I didn't expect the other party to notice it, and at the critical moment, threw out a killer feature. ”

"This killer feature is the investment last year, the person in charge of this at the time was the person who was installed by the other party, and now this person has left the company, but S・M's investment behavior has been confirmed. It is conceivable that if we did not have a new round of financing, the other party would not have launched this move, but we did, and the other party seized this opportunity and poked this matter out. ”

"Last year's incident involved more than a few thousand people in the entertainment industry. This shows the government's determination, and now that S.M is involved in the production of the film as a company, it will not let go easily by exposing the scars that the government is trying to hide. Now, under the pretext of investigating unknown funds, they have frozen S・M's liquidity, which has led to the rupture of the capital chain and the impossibility of carrying out many of the plans that have already been planned. The current situation is that they don't even need to do anything, they only need to 'investigate' for three months, and the liquidated damages alone are an astronomical amount, and although S.M will not go bankrupt because of this, Kim Young-min and I will definitely be responsible for this, and the shareholders will have the opportunity to attack us, and then the power they control will become even bigger, and it is not impossible to seize control of S.M. ”

Ah Jiu nodded, if the situation is really as Li Xiuman said, it is really tricky, after thinking about it, Ah Jiu asked: "You said that you and Jin Yingmin joined forces to investigate, so the people behind this, do you have a goal?"

"This ......" Li Xiuman knew that Ah Jiu wanted to solve the problem from the root, which was also in line with his character as an underworld, but in this matter, Li Xiuman didn't think Ah Jiu could do it. But after thinking about it, he decided to tell him that since he wanted to ask for help, it was always impossible to hide it.

"The person who designed the embezzlement of S・M's shares, she ...... He is a close friend of the president, and his name is Choi Soon-si. Li Xiuman sighed and said: "This person has a lot of energy now, although she does not have any position, but it is said that she is the most trusted person of the president, and she is more trusted than the Blue House office." I know that the bikers are very powerful now, but ...... against the president" Li Xiuman shook his head and continued: "There is a huge disparity in strength, and there is no need. Now the other party's trick to deal with us is this trick, Jin Yingmin and I have calculated several times, but we still decided to maintain the original plan, as long as we get the new round of financing done, although there will still be some difficulties, but we should be able to get through. After all, after the financing, the plate of S・M's cake is bigger, and she may not be able to eat it if she wants to, the impact is too great, and the other party does not dare to expose it to the sun after all. ”

After Li Xiuman finished speaking, he waited for Ah Jiu's reaction with some apprehension, Ah Jiu groaned for a while and didn't speak, Li Xiuman beat a drum in his heart, and was about to speak, but saw Ah Jiu suddenly take out his mobile phone and dial a number.

Soon the phone was connected, Ah Jiu put a smile on his face, put the phone on the speakerphone, and said, "Sister Cui, it's me,"

"Oh, yes, see the number. The voice on the other end of the phone was very kind, and he said, "If it were from your mother's side, you should call me aunt, this child...... But it's okay to call me Sister Cui, I'm still a few years younger, hehe......"

Li Xiu's color changed, he couldn't have imagined that Ah Jiu really had this connection, but then he was ecstatic, Ah Jiu actually made this call in person, he must have the willingness to help, if the other party can really let go, it would be better.

After a few simple greetings, Ah Jiu stepped into the topic, briefly explained the matter, and groaned on the other side, as if he was thinking in his heart, Ah Jiu was not in a hurry, and waited patiently.

After a while, Sister Cui spoke again and said, "Originally, this matter, since you opened your mouth, how can I give this face." However, I also have a dilemma, this matter is not just me, and a few friends also do it together, and they also pay a lot, which is ...... It's not easy for me to do it."

Ah Jiu laughed and said, "How can I embarrass Sister Cui, in this way, in the matter of our cooperation, I will give up five percent of the net profit, which will be regarded as compensation for this matter, and the eldest sister should do me a favor and take care of it." ”

"Smart boy, well, that's it, I'm going to watch my daughter's horse race, and it's almost over when it's over. ”

"Thank you, Sister Cui. ”

Ah Jiu hung up the phone and said, "You owe me a favor, this favor, you are still with Xiujing." (To be continued.) )
