Chapter 114: Cocktail Party
At that time, there was a brutal battle for the heirs of the Samsung Group.
After the fight, the eldest son, Lee Mong-hee, did not receive an inheritance, but his wife, Son Bok-nam, inherited the shares of Samsung Fire, which were replaced by the couple's third son, Lee Jae-hyun, in 1994 for shares in CJ (formerly CheilJedang Sugar Company).
Lee Jae-hyun became the chairman of CJ Group.
CJ Group has three senior executives: Chairman Lee Jae-hyun, Vice Chairman Lee Mi-kyung, and CEO Lee Jae-hwan.
The three are collectively known as the three siblings of CJ Boss.
The three are siblings, among them, Lee Mi-kyung is Lee Jae-hyun's sister.
In 1995, CJ Group invested heavily in DreamWorks in Los Angeles, USA, and became the distributor of DreamWorks films in Korea, allowing CJ Group to officially enter the Korean film industry.
That day, on the plane to Los Angeles, Lee Jae-hyun explained to Lee Mi-kyung his dream, which was cultural industrialization.
"It's not just about film circulation, it's about multi-channel distribution, such as direct filming, music business, TV channels, and creating an Asian version of Hollywood," he said. ”
He said, "Tong Guò learns from DreamWorks to produce multimedia content that conforms to the aesthetic form of Koreans, and uses multiple technologies to change the culture of film appreciation and promote Korean cultural products to the world......
In fact, Lee Jae-hyun wants to realize his cultural dream and give it smooth sailing.
At that time, CJ Group's top management objected, saying that it would be too risky for CJ Group to spin off from Samsung Group and immediately switch to investing in the cultural industry, but Lee Jae-hyun did not back down, saying, "To lead the growth engine of Korea and CJ Group, we must find the answer in the cultural industry." ”
It is precisely because of Lee Jae-hyun's goal and will that CJ Group has invested heavily in DreamWorks, which has paved the way for CJ Group's leap into the cultural industry and made Korea a prosperous cultural export market.
After returning home from Los Angeles, under the orders of Lee Jae-hyun. Lee Mi-kyung founded CJ Group's Media & Entertainment Division.
In 1997, CJ Group acquired a music supplier and opened Korea's first multimedia theater.
In 2000, CJ Group established CJ Entertainment, which is responsible for film distribution and investment.
In 2003. CJ Group established the CJ Network, the game division.
Today, CJ Group has grown not only into Korea's largest food conglomerate, but also has a strong media and entertainment industry in its bakery, catering, food service, and logistics industries. This includes film production, cinemas, TV channels and TV shows, mobile entertainment, music providers and awards ceremonies, which are known as the Asian Music Awards.
Now, when it comes to the Korean entertainment industry, CJ Group has to be mentioned.
CJ Group's media and entertainment industry occupies a strong position in the Korean entertainment industry.
……
Today is July 1st.
Today, Lee Mi-kyung, vice chairman of CJ Group and head of the media and entertainment industry, held a business reception at a high-end music restaurant where Kang Ryung-sung worked.
It's no wonder that the female boss Kong Suxian will pay special attention to it.
In order to organize this business reception, the restaurant began to prepare carefully from the morning.
The original tables and chairs in the restaurant lobby have been removed and replaced by glowing bar tables.
These bar tables are scattered throughout the hall. With the gorgeous decoration around, the scene environment looks high-end and atmospheric.
Jiang Liuxing was the live pianist of this cocktail party.
It was also his last day working at a restaurant.
The reception was scheduled for half past six in the evening, just as it was about to get dark.
At half past five in the evening, Jiang Liuxing came to the reception in advance.
He sat in a corner deep in the reception hall, in front of the black piano.
The black piano has been lifted onto the small stage.
From half past five to eight, Jiang Meteor will work for two and a half hours tonight, half an hour more than usual.
After sitting down, Jiang Liuxing began to play the piano one after another.
In order to cater to the atmosphere of this business reception, Jiang Meteor doesn't need to sing tonight, just play the piano. And most of the games are some elegant piano music.
From half past five, the guests arrived at the scene one after another.
Just as Kong Suxian said before, most of the guests are people who are either rich or noble, and there are some people in the entertainment industry.
Work clearance. Jiang Liuxing occasionally paid attention to those guests.
In addition to the host Li Meijing, some of the guests can also be recognized by Jiang Liuxing.
Among the guests he recognized were:
Lee Jae-hyun, needless to say, is the chairman of CJ Group, who was previously at the Jiang family cemetery in Goyang. Jiang Liuxing had seen this person.
Han Dong-chul is the president of a CJ Group subsidiary.
Kim Ki-duk, a famous Korean director trained by CJ Group.
Lee Joon-gi is a famous Korean actor trained by CJ Group.
Kim Tae-hee, a Korean first-line actress, a natural beauty star, graduated from the Department of Fashion Design of Seoul National University, is one of the few actors in the Korean entertainment industry with a high degree and non-drama background, the rich second generation of the Korean entertainment industry, his father is Kim Yuwen is the chairman of Korea Express, Korea Express is a logistics company located in Ulsan.
Jiang Dongyuan, who became a first-line actor in South Korea because of his appearance in the movie "The Temptation of the Wolf", is a rich second generation in the Korean entertainment industry, and his father is the deputy general manager of SPP Heavy Industry in South Korea, and has SPP shipbuilding, SPP shipping and other branches.
Lee Min-ting, a famous Korean actress, a rich second generation in the Korean entertainment industry, her father is the president of an advertising agency, her mother is a pianist, and her grandfather is a judge.
Wait a minute.
Of course, there are also some big names in the entertainment industry that Kang Meteor doesn't recognize, such as KBS, SBS, and MBC, the top executives of the three major Korean TV stations, including the newly appointed president of SBS TV, Ha Jinyeol.
At a quarter past six, Jiang Liuxing took advantage of the break to see two other guests he knew enter the reception hall.
One is YG Entertainment President Yang Hyun-suk.
The other is Kwon Zhilong.
The two of them walked directly towards the depths of the hall, and they both found Jiang Meteor playing the piano on the small stage.
Quan Zhilong immediately ran over and said with a smile: "Meteor, haha, you are really, now that you have become famous, and you have signed a contract to LOEN, why are you still doing this kind of work in the restaurant." ”
Jiang Liuxing smiled awkwardly: "Don't talk to me." ”
"Okay." Quan Zhilong shrugged his shoulders, knowing that Jiang Liuxing had to work hard.
Kwon Ji-ryong walked away and sat on the sofa in the corner with Yang Hyun-suk.
Yang Xianshuo also glanced at Jiang Meteor and smiled lightly, and Jiang Meteor smiled back.
Immediately, Jiang Liuxing saw two other guests walk into the reception hall.
One is Lee so-man, president of S.M Entertainment.
The other is an 18-year-old girl, a cute and innocent girl, and she is the captain Taeyeon of the upcoming girls' generation!
To Jiang Liuxing's regret, he didn't take the opportunity to see Yun'er's figure.
"Why is she here too?"
Kang Meteor looked at Taeyeon and was puzzled, but quickly figured out why.
He felt that Taeyeon was specially brought by Lee so-man, and Lee so-man's intention was that Girls' Generation was about to make her debut, taking advantage of this cocktail party, Lee so-man took Taeyeon, the captain, out in advance to meet the big names in the entertainment industry, if Taeyeon can be appreciated by a certain big coffee, it is very meaningful to Girls' Generation.
In fact, Yang Hyun-seok specially brought Kwon Ji-ryong, the captain of Bigbang, with this intention, to see if he could have a chance to let the big names in the entertainment industry appreciate Kwon Ji-ryong, and it was best to talk about a good business cooperation with Bigbang.
After judging this reason, Jiang Liuxing couldn't help but be a little glad that Yun'er didn't come tonight, he didn't want Yun'er to be brought to this occasion by Li Xiuman to make friends with the big names in the entertainment industry.
"Ginger Meteor...... Oba? ”
Taeyeon spotted Kang Meteor and couldn't help but walk to the edge of the stage and shout at Kang Meteor.
Kang Meteor smiled at Taeyeon and nodded.
"Taeyeon, what are you doing?"
Li Xiuman's scolding voice came from behind.
Taeyeon snorted, smiled apologetically at Kang Meteor Sung, and walked back to Lee so-man's side.
Li Xiuman glanced at Jiang Meteor, with a playful look in his eyes. (To be continued.) )
