The sun was shining outside the window, the office was very quiet, two men sat opposite each other, they looked at each other, and thought about each other, business is done with people, so the most important thing is people.
Xu Rencheng was silent for a while, he looked at the cup of tea he had made in front of him and thought for a long time, holding the small teacup with one hand, and didn't even take a sip when it was cold.
He suddenly said slowly: "Seventy percent of China's high-grade tea in the Korean market is shoddy, and the unit price is more than 300,000 won. Koreans don't understand tea, but they like to drink tea, and no country in the tea world can be compared with China, so they are all wronged. ”
Lin Weiran said with a smile: "President Xu drinks this is good tea. ”
Xu Rencheng raised his eyes and asked, "Do you know tea?" ”
Lin Weiran shook his head and said, "I don't understand, but I don't think President Xu will be willing to be the culprit." ”
Xu Rencheng asked, "Then what kind of tea do you think 'IdolWorld' looks like?" ”
"Pu'er."
"For what?"
"Because it's appreciating, not because it's good tea per se, it's because someone is operating it."
Xu Rencheng paused, and said: "Some people operate that is good and bad, and people have a characteristic, that is, those sent to the door are defective products, and only those who ask for them are high-quality products." ”
Lin Weiran said: "President Xu once came to ask for it, but he didn't ask for it, so I sent it to the door this time." ”
Xu Rencheng stared at Lin Weiran seriously, his eyes were bright, and after a while, he put down the teacup and said straight to the point: "Let's not continue to be tempted, according to my information, Xinhan and Chaoya have no direct jurisdiction, that is to say, the withdrawal of funds from Chaoya investment has no impact on Xinhan at all, because there is 'IdolWorld'."
Now you come to me and tell me that you want to sell such a project, for what? In order to help Chaoya fill the shortfall? The 140 billion on paper is just the beginning, once the chain reaction ferments, even if it invests 300 billion in Chaoya, it will not be able to stand it, relying on the money from selling 'IdolWorld', it is a drop in the bucket. ”
Lin Weiran said flatly: "There is an idiom in China called abandoning the car to protect the handsome, which is about this situation. All I can say is that President Seo has not investigated enough, especially on the relationship between Shinhan and North Korea. Whether we can keep it or not, you and I can't say for sure, and it's not up to us to decide. ”
"The bottom-line price will be reduced by another 30 percent." Xu Rencheng pondered for a moment and threw out the conditions.
"The reason why the bottom-line price is the bottom line is because you can't take a step back." Lin Weiran remained unmoved.
Xu Rencheng smiled: "You need this money, but it's my money now." Unlisted assets have never had a clear status, you spent 500 million to buy a house, and when you need money to sell it urgently, do you have to sell it for 500 million? ”
Lin Weiran said: "This house is in a good location, there are many people who want it, and I know that someone needs it, because it can be turned into a building." Of course, if this person has to bargain, then I can only sell it publicly, and I believe it is not difficult. ”
Xu Rencheng pondered for a moment, picked up the teacup he caught up with and drank it in small sips. Lin Weiran's expression was normal, not arrogant or impatient, as if he was selling something that had nothing to do with him.
"The acquisition process will take more than half a month."
"I think it should be the same."
As soon as the final word was made, the two looked at each other and smiled, and they still fought again.
Xu Rencheng said with a smile: "Lin makes some tea, my tea here is definitely not a fake." ”
"It doesn't matter if it's real or not, because I can't drink tea, so I can only taste bitter." Lin Weiran picked up the teacup as she spoke, looked at it carefully for a while, and was slightly distracted.
Xu Rencheng can probably feel Lin Weiran's emotions, and any producer's work is not a dead thing for them. Having a pet for a few years and dying can be sad, not to mention these things that are enough to be called hard work. …,
He suggested: "In January next year, 'IdolWorld' and 'Virtual Idol' will be separated from Samsung Advertising and form a separate branch, which means that it can be listed as a subsidiary, so it is better for Lin to come to me." Although Samsung Advertising is only an insignificant small department in the Samsung Group, its development prospects are not comparable to those of Shinhan. ”
Lin Weiran said: "Xie Lu Xie, after this matter is over, I think I will also leave Shinhan, but I don't plan to work in the company again." ”
"For what?"
"After all, it's better to do it for others than for yourself."
"Without that capital and platform, it's better to do it for yourself than for others."
Lin Weiran was silent.
Xu Rencheng reacted at this time, he chuckled twice, stood up and stretched out his hand, and said with a smile: "I hope that Lin and I still have a chance to cooperate." ”
"Well, I hope so, too."
The two shook hands, and that was the end of the matter. Tens of billions of voices say that it is a final word, but it is only an intention, and it is necessary to wait for a period of time if the transaction is really successful. Turning around and walking to the door, Lin Weiran, who had not yet gone out, turned around and suddenly asked, "I wonder what President Xu thinks of the 'virtual idol'?" ”
Xu Rencheng said: "'Virtual idol'? This game is just a by-product of 'IdolWorld', and the 'chance encounter' system suggested by Hayashi and Director Lee last time has been officially launched, and so far 'IdolWorld' has more than 3 million registered users, and the momentum is good...... This kind of collateral product that attracts attention on the eve should no longer need Lin to bother so much, right? ”
Lin Weiran lowered his head and smiled, what he said was right, the gap between the leader and the follower lies in innovation. Others stand on his work, but they don't see what he sees. Raising his head, Lin Weiran reminded: "President Xu, wait a look at the email, it's some of my ideas and plans for 'virtual idols'." Of course, if Director Li Xu has his own plans, he doesn't have to worry about it. ”
Seeing Lin Weiran go out, Xu Rencheng began to be confused again, and after thinking for a while, Xu Rencheng, who suddenly thought of something, chuckled, with a thick self-deprecation in his smile.
In order to sell at a good price, you have to pretend not to care, Xu Rencheng has also gone from the producer step by step to today, of course he knows what the work means to the producer, those money printing machines in the eyes of outsiders are like their children, whether they are standing behind or not, they will hope that these children can go all the way.
Downstairs to the parking lot, the white Hyundai sedan was parked in the parking space he had snatched, in stark contrast to several imported cars next to it. Walking to the door, Lin Weiran glanced back in the direction of the elevator, and then pulled the door and got into the car.
Reluctant?
Of course.
This is his best work since entering this circle, and maybe there will be no existence that can surpass it in the future.
One of the costs of breaking through that barrier, or that cage, was to give up, even if it was something he didn't want to give up.
As July passed, and halfway through August, a small ceremony was held in a small commercial two-storey building in Sinsa-dong. Most of the people present were unfamiliar faces, which did not attract passers-by to stop and watch, but the flower baskets placed on both sides of the main entrance were familiar names.
Yoo Jae-seok, Lee Hyo-ri, Kim so-ro, Kang Dae-sung, Lee Cheon-hee, Park Ye-jin, Yoon Jong-shin, the ratings of 'Birth of a Family' are gratifying, so in addition to the flower basket that he sent alone, he was loosened up with the production team of 'Birth of a Family'. Jun Ji-hyun didn't forget about this person because Lim Weiran disappeared at those parties, and S.M was not stingy, not only Kim Yeon-pyeong was there in person, but also brought greetings from Lee so-man and Kim Young-min. JYP even sent a director to the scene in person, and even brought Min Xianyi.
The company is not large, the renovation has not yet been carried out, and the appearance looks a little dilapidated, but it shows that the general production company does not have the connections. Yoon Sang-hyun, Shen Jae-hee, Lee In-quan, the connections and influence of the three in the circle can be seen from the flower baskets sent by those agents in person, although there are no familiar names on these flower baskets, but behind these agents are more than a dozen A-level film and television stars in South Korea. …,
Under the dilapidated small building, in the eyes of the discerning people, it is difficult to hide the starlight.
The ceremony was held very smoothly, and it was a good thing that there were not too many celebrities present, at least Han Weiyi was very relaxed, and she became more and more like a producer when she retreated from her bling outfit, and her speech and demeanor were also quite capable.
Lin Weiran, who did not appear as the protagonist, watched the whole process, except for a limited number of people, most people didn't know that there was a person in this company besides Han Weiyi, and Lin Weiran didn't value this kind of fame, he just stood aside with a faint smile and watched, like a person who came in to eat and drink.
"Do you know what kind of person is the most unlucky person in this kind of situation?"
Hearing Han Weiyi's voice, Lin Weiran turned around and asked, "What's it?" ”
Han Weiyi said meanly: "Like you, it is most unfortunate to hide on the side by yourself." Everyone is here to get together on this occasion, since you want to be alone, what are you doing here? ”
Lin Weiran chuckled, and it was a smirk in Han Weiyi's eyes. If it weren't for this guy's bad luck, he wouldn't have chosen to cooperate with him.
'Birth of a Family' debuted with 17 percent ratings, and has since approached the 20 percent mark, and as advertised, the ratings of a TV series without a script are equivalent to mini-series.
'You are my destiny', not to mention, the ratings are approaching 30%, and it has been dubbed 'National Day Japanese Drama' by the media, and the protagonist 'Sebi' played by Lin Yuna is even more well-known in South Korea.
Finish these two shows safely? No, Han Weiyi has great ambitions for this industry.
"Have you ever heard of 'we're married'?"
"Celebrity love shows? Now it seems to be Huang Jingyin and a male star, and I don't know the name of that man. ”
"Variety shows with single-digit ratings are going to be cut unconditionally, but this kind of celebrity love show is different, very innovative, and has great development potential. Its production company could no longer afford the next production costs, so it had to package the rights to the film for sale. Because the asking price is not low, no one cares about it at present. ”
Lin Weiran said keenly: "You want?" ”
Han Weiyi nodded and said, "Yes, and I already have a plan." ”
Lin Weiran nodded and said, "Okay." ”
Han Weiyi frowned and said, "Don't you listen to my plan?" ”
Lin Weiran said with a smile: "The plan never changes fast, move in the direction you see, grasp what you can control, and don't think about what you can't control." ”
Han Weiyi was stunned, laughed helplessly, and sighed: "You have really changed a lot." ”
Lin Weiran smiled: "It's not that I've changed, it's that I'm like this." ”
The phone rang, it was a text message, and Lin Weiran slowly restrained her smile after reading the content.
Han Weiyi asked, "Who is it?" ”
"I told you, for me when I first arrived in Seoul, this is the gladiatorial arena, right?"
Han Weiyi nodded.
Lin Weiran raised her mobile phone and said with a complicated expression: "This is one of the spectators sitting on the sidelines." ”
