Chapter 147: Defection

The announcement of a general takeover of Carnegie was a big news, with a single major shareholder holding more than 30 percent of the shares. As one of Soros's financiers, Carnegie demanded that the funds in Soros's hands be transferred back to the United States to resist the takeover.

"Use the spare funds, and let the Carnegie side use the spare funds as well." Soros frowned and said, "There's no way the black gold kid is going to buy any Carnegie company, and most of the money he's using now comes from short-term loans, and he'll be finished at 1500:1." The number displayed on the computer screen at this point is 1430:1.

Soros's guess was right, when the spare funds returned to the United States and Carnegie announced an anti-takeover at the same time, the acquirer threw all the stocks in his hands back, seized tens of billions of funds and then disappeared again, and King was still in the American market with the 10 billion on the surface.

King happily covered his laptop, although he failed to attract Soros to return a large amount of money this time, but he also won a game, how can Soros deal with it later? Thinking about the other party's plans, he drove back to the company. Quite unexpectedly, he found that there was a row of luxury cars parked at the door of the company, and there were distinguished guests visiting?

Seeing his return, the tall French young man at the door walked over, "Congratulations to Brother Zhenwu for winning a beautiful battle, things will be much easier now, right?" "It's still the unconventional language that King hates the most.

"If the Tren family doesn't participate, I'll have more ease, Jim, if you don't show up, I'll forget that the appointment for a year has arrived."

"Yes, yes, Brother Zhenwu is busy, but brother, I still remember that agreement, I came here today to inform you that my agency has been established, and its name is Jilun Entertainment."

"It's a very uninteresting name," said King, in disgust, "didn't Mr. Jim come to me just to tell me this, to let me send me a basket of flowers?" ”

Jim smiled, "Of course not, there is nothing new in my company's name, but in order to compete with Brother Zhenwu, the artist lineup is very strong, won't Brother Zhenwu invite me in to sit?" ”

Out of courtesy, King made a gesture of invitation and took the lead in the company, "What great artists have been invited, there are not many combinations in Korea that want to compete with the artists of DES company." ”

"Brother Zhenwu, what do you think of FTF?" Jim's tone suddenly became cloudy.

β€œFTFοΌŸβ€ King's mind buzzed, and he looked down the hall, and sure enough, he saw several members of the FTF group standing there waiting, and Jim was obviously not untargeted. Then, he quickly came back to his senses and walked towards Li Zhenhui, "Zhenhui, is this thing true?" ”

Li Zhenhui didn't dare to look him in the eyes at all, and the usual energy to say everything in front of his teammates completely disappeared, so she just nodded silently and handed over the white envelope with the resignation sheet written on it.

Jim said with a smile next to him, "Brother, I can't help it, I don't have any foundation in this industry, how can I fight against Brother Zhenwu without a good artist." Well, this is a check for 4 billion won, which is considered liquidated damages. ”

"Well," King said, nodding, "I happen to be short of funds, so thank you." He glanced at Li Zhenhui meaningfully, "I hope that the Gillen Company can treat them well." Then he signed the text, and the FTF girls didn't dare to look up at him at all, so they hurriedly went out and got into the car.

"Thank you," Jim said, "thank you so much Brother Zhenwu for nurturing such a good artist for me." He laughed and walked out the door.

"These guys really can't be raised," Yu Tian said, "That guy named Jim also came to us a few days ago, and Brother Zifeng and I thought he was joking." Well, why did the president agree to them so happily? ”

"How can you not agree, they are all ready." King shook his head, "I've been paying less attention to the company lately. ”

"The president is doing big things, how can he keep watching the company? It's just that the four crows suddenly left, and the company may be affected. ”

King nodded and said, "The fame will definitely have an impact, and besides," he turned to look at Kim Ji-yeon, "Timer is ready to make his debut in three months." In addition, the second round of trainee selection should also be intensified. ”

Kim Ji-yeon, Han Ye-hee, Li Yunmin and Han Nianxi were immediately excited when they heard it, two years, they have been working hard for two years, isn't it just this day? Although it is not what they want to get the opportunity in this way, but after all, they are going to make their debut, right?

"Another thing that is quite regrettable is that I originally planned to let FTF gain a firm foothold in South Korea this year, and the wind and rain combination can consider going to the United States next year to develop, but now this situation seems to inevitably have to transition to Japan for a year or two."

Of course, Zifeng and Yutian can understand, after all, a top company must have at least a top combination, otherwise, it will be easily forgotten by fans.

On the same day, FTF's defection from DES caused an uproar. You know, just two months ago, this group also launched a new album and won the honor of standing on the popular song list for three weeks.

For a time, rumors such as the company forcing artists to participate in unethical transactions were flying all over the world, and there were many speculations that the company was poaching people with high salaries. Both brokerage firms remained silent about this. King didn't want to explain it, and he didn't have time to pay attention to it.

And Jim didn't dare to use this matter to challenge King's nerves, the two parties agreed to use means in the entertainment industry to resolve the dispute between the two parties, but Jim knew that if he took the initiative to release rumors at this time, he obviously violated this rule.

Immediately after FTF entered the company, they were faced with the problem of being strict, that is, they had nothing to do. The copyrights of their albums all belong to DES, and when they first arrived at the new company, there were no suitable songs to provide.

Jim's net worth is hundreds of millions, but he is a newcomer in this industry, and he is not clear about the rules of the industry at all, not to mention, the purpose of his prying FTF over was not to let them have any big development, just to crack down on king, and the composers he found are all second- and third-rate characters in Europe and the United States, and they are not familiar with the Korean music industry at all, so what can he do immediately?

At the same time, South Korea is a country that pays special attention to integrity, and FTF defected from DES only for commercial reasons, which may not be a big deal in Europe and the United States, but in South Korea, not only no one asked them to participate in activities, but also no one asked them to shoot advertisements, so they could only sit in the company and do nothing to train according to the original training method.

On the contrary, after a week or so, DES announced that it would launch a new girl group timer in August, and a new batch of trainees would be recruited at the same time, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.

"Jim," Li Zhenhui finally couldn't help it, "this is not good, we will be forgotten by the audience if we don't have a chance to go on stage." ”

"Forget it, forget it," Jim said unceremoniously, now the battle between King and Soros is in a stalemate, has been hovering around 1400, just refusing to go up, as one of the big speculators, how can he care about Li Zhenhui? "What's the big deal, Li Zhenhui, didn't you say that having me is enough? Still worried about what those do? ”

"But Jim, you're saying that we'll have a better prospect at Gillen, but now, there's nothing. Even if I have you, what about the three of them? Nothing. ”

"How can you say that there is nothing?" Jim's face was a little hideous, "Don't the three of them have me?" Of course, it's okay for Yoon Tae-sook and Jang Young-soon to be assigned to Charlie. ”

(Jim prompted FTF to defect from DES during the battle between King and Soros, but his strike strategy was only half the battle because the Wind and Rain Combo was still able to hold up the faΓ§ade for DES, and King's timely announcement of the launch of the new Combo also eliminated the negative effect of FTF's defection.) Not only that, the poached FTF is completely useless to Jim, and he needs to extract their value and find another way to fight the king. οΌ‰
