"Of course, I looked at his graduation certificate, and I saw his information and subject assessment results in the list of Stanford graduates, and the graduation evaluation was excellent." Without waiting for Li Xiuman to speak, Shin Sung-ho told Li Xiuman what he knew, and An Yuxi wanted him to say.

"In that case..." Li Xiuman groaned. The current s.m company is the same as the real world, and there are still a lot of fans who grit their teeth at it, eager to peel off its skin and bones, although the current s.m has been reduced a lot because of Shen Chenghao in the case of alleviating the contradiction, of course, it is impossible without anti, and the person in power is still Li Xiuman, who is extremely strong in control, so it can only be said that it is only a little lighter, and in essence, it has not changed.

And with the emergence of the S.M model and the success of a series of S.M artists have also driven the entertainment industry exhibition in South Korea, many capital predators are eyeing the entertainment industry on the cake, brokerage companies have sprung up like mushrooms after the rain, and it has also driven the K-pop exhibition, South Korea is only so big, if S.M is dominant, it will inevitably compress the living space of large brokerage companies such as YG, JYP, DSP, etc., from the last H.O.T, SES, and the current myth If it is not for some people to manipulate it, kill Li Xiuman does not believe it, and it has also caused S.M's current difficult situation.

Stanford University, if this is really the case, maybe it can be used as a gimmick to promote it, and by the way, to redeem the negative image of S.M. This can be planned by the propaganda department, Li Xiu flashed many thoughts in his mind, in fact, the most fundamental thing is to get a new singer without spending money, and make money or something later.

Li Xiuman is already thinking that he and S.M will start to work hard to change his image in the eyes of fans and society, and if a brand is always in negative news, it will also be an obstacle to its exhibition.

Since May 13, 2oo1, the signing period between H.O.T. and S.M has expired, and the two parties have negotiated for the departure and stay of H.O.T., and Jang Woo-hyuk, Tony and Lee Jae-won have decided to go, so H.O.T. can only be disbanded, and the other two members of the group, Ahn Qi-hyun and Moon Hee-jun, continue to stay in s.m and start their solo career in their own names.

In addition to huge economic losses, it was also criticized and badly spoken by H.O.T. fans and all parties, and even h.o.T. fans would gather thousands of people every day to sit-in and demonstrate in front of S.M. company, shouting slogans in their mouths, and constantly throwing stones and dirt into the company. At the same time, the dissolution of H.O.T. also became the beginning of the unfortunate fate of S.M.

In 2oo2, the South Korean police launched an unprecedented investigation into the pop music industry, and South Korea's largest entertainment company S.M was also involved, and the general manager Kim Kyung-wook was suspected of illegally annexing up to 1.1 billion yuan of company property, so that the company's top decision-maker Lee so-man could not get out of it. But he has always insisted on refusing to return to China to assist in the investigation on the grounds that he is doing business in the United States.

Immediately after the dissolution of SES at the end of 2oo2, only the group member SHOO remained in S.M, and in 2OO3, S.M was also unable to reach a fair agreement with Myth that was acceptable to both parties because the contract expired, and the contract with Myth was officially terminated, and Myth switched to GoodMedia.

In July of the same year, the agent who had been with Boa also died in a car accident, which was a painful blow to both Boa and s.m itself.

Since entering the millennium, Lee so-man and S.M. have not had a good time, although he is the president of South Korea's largest entertainment company. This is because Li Xiuman, as mentioned earlier, was found to have embezzled public funds to invest in his own company to obtain benefits, and after the scandal was exposed, although he pushed his right-hand man, Kim Kyung-wook, the general manager of S.M, out of the guilt, the South Korean prosecutors still haven't let go, maybe the mastermind behind the scenes has been eyeing him and is not ready to let him go.

In 2oo2, he was investigated by the procuratorate again, and he had no choice but to go to the United States, but unfortunately he still didn't escape, because TVXQ's debut still needed him to check it personally, which is related to S.M's future exhibition, if there is no pillar, S.M will really collapse.

After returning to China, Lee so-man was immediately summoned by the Criminal Department of the Seoul Central District Court, and his case will be tried in August this year, and he has been ordered not to leave the country until then, and the procuratorate is collecting evidence of his crime.

It is estimated that this is really a lot of bad luck, and the prison disaster cannot be avoided, I hope that he can be sentenced to a suspended sentence or a light sentence, and because of the scandal of economic crimes, he and the reputation of the S.M company among the people are even worse.

Thinking about this, Li Xiuman was irritable for a while, when did he have such an embarrassment. The biggest problem is that if he really goes to prison, then this s.m president can't do it anymore, so he must find a person worthy of his trust to take over, in fact, Li Xiuman intends to let Shin Sung-ho serve as president, because he has no ambition and the two are also collaborators, and they have the most basic trust and tacit understanding with each other, so that they can hide behind the scenes, and they can not only transfer contradictions, but also not let power fall out of their hands.

However, Shin Sung-ho's biggest opponent is Kim Young-min, the head of the overseas business team who has been maintaining the overseas business operation represented by Japan, the representative director of the onLine music portal FandangkoRea, who is an ambitious and capable guy who is very popular on the company's board of directors, especially in the past few years as the representative director of the joint venture company, and is very close to Japan's Ai Hui Company, the third largest shareholder of s.m, and is also one of the most promising candidates to take over as president. If the board of directors can see Shin Sung-ho's strength...

"As long as it doesn't damage the interests of the company, Cheng Hao, you can prepare." Li Xiuman nodded and agreed, now as long as it can improve the company's current situation, he is willing to do even a little bit, let alone a promising person like An Yuxi?

"Decide on a date, let him come over for a test in a few days, and then prepare to hold a press conference with the outside world."

"Yes, President." Shin Sung-ho, who knows Lee so-man's character, did not call him "brother" anymore, but called him president, and went out after receiving the order, and those who know Lee so-man know that he is a little moody, and Shin Sung-ho seems to have gotten used to Lee so-man's finger-pointing.

In fact, even if Lee so-man disagreed, Shin Sung-ho would bypass Lee so-man and directly propose to the council to sign a contract with An Yuxi, although he couldn't think of a reason why Lee so-man disagreed. Of course, it would be better for Li Xiuman to agree now, now is not the time to make enemies with Li Xiuman, it is better to be able to cooperate.

Watching Shen Chenghao walk out and then gently bring the door, Li Xiuman nodded with satisfaction.

"An Yuxi." Li Xiuman picked up An Yuxi's photo from the table again, raised his glasses and looked at it carefully, "I hope you won't let me down." ”
