The new year of 2005 begins, and this is the most important year for Ino, in which all the members of Bigbang come to YG, which means that the 120-day debut record is about to begin. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
2005 was a year of many disasters for the Korean entertainment industry, and at the beginning of the new year, the entertainment industry ushered in a turmoil.
On January 17, 2005, an internal document entitled "Report on the Results of In-Depth Interviews with Specialists for Advertising Models and Celebrity Prospects" (referred to as the "X-Files") was transferred to the private sector from the Korean advertising agency "First Planning".
The 113-page document analyzes in detail the current situation and trends of 99 popular artists in South Korea, among which the most exciting thing is that the "extreme privacy" of artists has been kicked away with "rumors".
caused a social riot for a while, from first-line singers to top actors, regardless of boys and girls, they were all on the list, except for a few stars such as Wen Genying and Zhang Dongjian who survived, more than 90% of the stars did not escape the clutches of the X-Files.
More than 80 celebrities jointly sued South Korea's First Planning Company, and the development of things was about to exceed South Korea's control, and finally the government took action, ordering all websites not to appear X-Files, and sentenced Korea's First Planning Company to apologize to the artists and compensate for the corresponding economic losses, and this vigorous X-Files project came to an end.
X-Files caused losses, not only artists, but also brokerage companies, you must know that all the names on the list are first-line artists and cash cows of the company, but the emergence of X-Files is that the value of those affected stars has plummeted, and the company's shares have plummeted.
This YG didn't have much to do with it, after all, although YG's development momentum was good at that time, only two people, R&B Prince Huixing and se7en, really took out their hands, but although they developed well, because of the problem of music form, there is still a gap between them and first-line artists, especially se7en, although they are called the strongest newcomers together with rain, but there is still a big gap from rain. So the whole company is in a state of good show.
Now, Ino is completing the most important event in his life, a few days ago, Ino's mentor told Ino Mark Zuckerberg's company to accept venture capital, Ino flew to the United States overnight, and met the legendary youngest of the world's top 100 richest people through the mentor, of course, the current Mark Zuckerberg is still very short of money, Facebook has just been listed not long ago, and has not yet shown the strength of the previous life.
After being reborn, Ino knew that he was a graduate of Harvard University, and he always wanted to take the giant ship of Mark Zuckerberg, but when Ino was reborn, Zuckerberg had dropped out of school to start Facebook, and the two had never had the opportunity to meet.
You must know that this is Facebook, in the previous life, as soon as Facebook went public, it caused a sensation in the United States, and a few years later, as long as there is an Internet in the world, there is no country that does not know Facebook, which shows the influence of Facebook, Eno has the intention to intervene, but when Eno is reborn and settles down, Facebook has been founded, and he has no choice but to wait for the next opportunity.
Under the guidance of Mr. Ino, Eno met Mark Zuckerberg for the first time, and Mark Zuckerberg was also curious about himself, a young genius who praised his former mentor, and the meeting between the two sides could be said to be very pleasant.
Although Mark Zuckerberg did not finish his studies at Harvard University, he has always regarded himself as a person from Harvard University, and Eno as his own apprentice, and has the idea of investment, Mark Zuckerberg said that of course welcome, now his Facebook has entered a bottleneck period, needs a lot of capital injection, originally wanted to accept venture capital, but his mentor came to the door and said that his students were interested in investing, and Zuckerberg was ready to meet him.
The results of the talks were of course very good, and after the back and forth between the two sides, an agreement was finally reached, and Innova exchanged $30 million for a 5% stake in Facebook, during which Innova also proposed some future Facebook development directions to Zuckerberg, and finally let him relent.
You know, the $50 million is basically all of Ino's property, and the inheritance left by his parents is about $10 million, plus Eno often makes some venture capital before he is reborn, and with his talent for investment, he probably made more than $10 million, plus Ino's parents' car accident compensation, etc., it can be said that Eno gambled all his worth, but the result in exchange also made Eno satisfied, although now Facebook's shares are not worth so much money, but ten years later, It can be said that it has doubled tenfold or twenty times, and now even if Ino doesn't do anything, with these shares, he will not have to worry about eating and drinking for the rest of his life.
The smooth trip to the United States made Eno walk lightly when he returned to South Korea, this trip to the United States not only achieved the expected purpose, but also got Mark Zuckerberg's friendship, you must know that Eno proposed the Facebook development plan during the negotiation process, which was verified by the market in later generations, which made Mark Zuckerberg look at himself as a junior, plus he was not a difficult person to get along with, and the two sides were not a few years old. Before leaving, Eno had already called Mark Zuckerberg brothers.
To solve the problem of money, the big stone in Ino's heart has finally landed, you must know that becoming a shareholder of Facebook not only solves the problem of money, but even changes its status in the United States in the future.
After returning to South Korea, he reported to his uncle about the trip to the United States, Ino was in a hurry, and when he told his uncle, he also said that he would go to the United States to invest, and his uncle Yang Hyunshuo knew that Eno used to make some investments, and he learned from his sister that Eno's financial vision had never been missed, so he didn't stop it, and even asked Eno if he needed money before leaving, but Eno refused.
But knowing that this time when Eno invested 30 million US dollars, Yang Hyun Suk still made a jump, you must know that this is 30 million US dollars, but not 30 million won, 30 billion won sold him and can't take it out, Yang Xianshuo still admires the courage of this nephew.
"I've heard my sister say that you have a vision for investment, you have never missed anything over the years, I won't say anything, for investment, you must know better than me as a graduate student, you can find me when you lack money in the future, although you can't take it out, but it's no problem to support you, but next time you make this kind of decision, I hope you can discuss it with us, after all, we are relatives." Yang Xianshuo looked at Eno and said solemnly.
For his uncle's unconditional trust, Ino is also moved, although he is not good at expressing himself, his uncle has always believed in himself unconditionally, supported his decision, whether it is a trainee, writing a novel, or even this investment, his uncle is using his own strength to escort Ino. He did more for Eno than his grandparents.
"I know, uncle, I won't be like this in the future." Ino choked up and said, this is also the first time Ino has called Yang Hyun Suk his uncle in the company, before he didn't want people to know his relationship with the president, now it seems that Ino feels too selfish, he has been thinking about his future, his own dreams, and now Ino has decided not only to go to the world by himself, but also to let YG go international, this is what Ino can help his uncle do, after all, YG can be said to be the brainchild of his uncle.
