In a word.

Li Kaiwen's words hit the nail on the head of Girls' Generation and all the artists under S.M.

From the ancestral idol myth, HOT to TVXQ, to SUJU and Girls' Generation, the dissolution of the popular idol group under S.M Company, and the solo flight, none of them were preserved to the end.

Even EXO, a cutting-edge boy group that has only been debuting for two years and flaunting the slogan "WEAREONE", has two members who have retired from the team and flown solo.

The group is destined to not survive for long, this is the consensus of everyone, and the members of Girls' Generation also know it.

"KEVIN, IF YOU'RE IN CHARGE OF GIRLS' GENERATION'S BRAND, HOW DO YOU PLAN OUR CAREERS?" SAID TIFFANY, WHO WAS THE MOST URGENT, THE FIRST TO BREAK THE SILENCE.

Li Kaiwen shook his head with a smile: "It is impossible to talk about career planning in S.M Entertainment Company, Girls' Generation makes a net profit of three or four billion yuan for S.M a year, which is the most powerful cash cow of the company, and it is impossible for S.M Company to let you develop alone." ”

Kim Taeyeon asked suspiciously, "If we are not in S.M, where are we going? Do you really want to take all of us to China for development?"

"Yes, but not entirely. ”

"What do you mean?" Kim Tae-yeon asked.

"It is the general trend to go to China for development, and Girls' Generation is no exception, but not all of them go to China for development. ”

Cui Xiuying opened her mouth and said, "Don't beat around the bush, just say it directly." ”

"Here's my plan," Kevin Lee said, leaning forward slightly, attracting everyone's attention. He said in a deep voice: "I have already discussed with Executive Director Zheng Changhuan. He supported me in running Girls' Generation operations. I believe that President Kim Young-min will not interfere either. I will convince him with enough benefits. A little troublesome is the executive director of Nan Xiaoying, who is currently in charge of the operation of Girls' Generation, and he has a conflict with me, so he will not easily hand over the operation rights. ”

Speaking of this, Li Kaiwen paused, Lin Yun'er was listening attentively, and couldn't help asking, "What are you going to do?"

Li Kaiwen smiled slightly, his smile revealed a strong confidence, "After I became the board of directors of S.M Entertainment, I entrusted Nonghyup Bank to acquire the shares of S.M Entertainment held by NEOWIZBUGS, the second largest online music online company, and if I buy all of them, I will hold 24.75% of S.M's shares." Surpassed Chairman Lee so-man to become the largest shareholder. At that time, my voice will be greatly enhanced, and I will be in charge of the brand operation of Girls' Generation. ”

"WHAT IF YOU CAN'T BUY ALL THE SHARES?" TIFFANY ASKED WITH CONCERN, SHE HAD LEARNED A LOT FROM KEVIN LEE IN STOCK TRADING, SHE WAS SENSITIVE TO STOCK EQUITY, AND SHE SAID HER THOUGHTS VERY DIRECTLY.

TIFFANY IS NOT QUESTIONING KEVIN LEE'S ABILITIES AND MEANS, BUT RATHER WANTS TO HAVE A MORE THOROUGH UNDERSTANDING OF THE PROCEDURES AND KEVIN LEE'S OVERALL PLAN.

"Pani is a good question, and in fact I don't think it will be possible to acquire all the shares smoothly. But it doesn't matter, I only need to get half of the shares," Kevin Li said, holding up his right index and middle fingers, "and I will become the second largest shareholder of S.M Entertainment with half of the shares." There is no difficulty in passing a resolution on the board of directors. ”

"And then?" Cui Xiuying asked, "This should be just a preliminary plan." ”

"Of course. The second step was to set up a separate subsidiary from S.M to operate the Girls' Generation brand, just like APINK, which was a separate subsidiary. ”

Kim Taeyeon asked hesitantly, "The company may not agree to this proposal." ”

TIFFANY AND CHOI SO-YOUNG NODDED THEIR HEADS, AGREEING WITH KIM TAEYEON'S POINT OF VIEW, S.M HAS ALWAYS BEEN STRONG AND HAS NEVER COMPROMISED WITH TVXQ, AND I AM AFRAID THAT HE WILL NOT COMPROMISE WITH THEM.

The three of them looked at Li Kaiwen with six pairs of eyes with expectant expressions.

Lin Yuna is full of confidence in her boyfriend, and she believes that since Li Kaiwen chooses to reveal her plan, everything must be under control.

SUNNY was the only one who had talked to Kevin Lee about the plan beforehand, and of course she knew what the hole cards Kevin Lee relied on, and as a client, she was inconvenient to speak, so she listened quietly.

Taeyeon has a point, there is no precedent in S.M's history for an independent subsidiary to run a team, and the mercenary businessmen on the board of directors will not easily agree. You have to put pressure on the company to compromise, and you have plenty of leverage. ”

"WHAT LEVERAGE DO WE HAVE?" KIM TAE-YEON LOOKED AT TIFFANY SUSPICIOUSLY, HOPING THAT HER BEST FRIEND WOULD CLEAR HER UP.

TIFFANY SHOOK HER HEAD, SHE COULDN'T THINK OF IT EITHER.

"Is it our contract?" Lin Yun'er said softly.

Li Kaiwen once asked Lin Yuna about the contract, and hoped that Lin Yuner would leave her girlhood and fly alone to act, but Lin Yuner did not agree, she didn't want her career to completely rely on a man, even if this man was the man she loved deeply.

Girlhood is Lin Yuna's retreat and her destination, and she will not easily turn her back.

"Is it really a contract?" Cui Xiuying suddenly realized, clapped her palms heavily and said loudly.

Li Kaiwen smiled: "It's a contract." As far as I know, each member of Girls' Generation and S.M Entertainment have revised their contracts after the TVXQ split, and they can only sign contracts for a maximum of seven years under the new judicial terms, right?"

"Yes. Kim Taeyeon nodded without hesitation.

Each member has signed a contract with S.M Entertainment in their own name, and the contract is different, so even the members of the same group do not know the content of the contract between the members and the company.

"That is to say, by August next year at the latest, your contract with the company will expire, and at that time you will be a free person who does not belong to any brokerage company. In order to retain you, the company will definitely put forward all kinds of favorable terms in order to renew the contract with you, and this is the most favorable moment for you to bargain with the company. ”

Cui Xiuying opened her mouth and said, "You want us to use the contract to pressure the company to achieve the goal of establishing a subsidiary?"

"The plan is this, and I'll speak for you on the board. ”

"WHAT IF THE COMPANY DOESN'T COMPROMISE?" ASKED TIFFANY.

"That's not simple, the nine of you don't renew your contract with S.M Entertainment, sign a contract with HS Entertainment, a Sino-Korean joint venture subsidiary controlled by me, and officially become a top women's group across China and South Korea. Isn't that cool?" (To be continued......)
