Chapter Eighty-Eight: Kim Jong Kook

Ignoring the sluggish Park Chu-ryong on the side, Kim Sung-yeol got on the elevator and left ACUBEEntertainment. And after a while, he received a call from Lin Xianmei.

"OPPA tweeted that President Choi Jin-ho took a picture of your song contract and posted it on it, acknowledging that ACUBEEntertainment has signed a copyright contract with you, and stating that you will be the producer of APink's new song this time." Lin Xianmei said on the phone that since Kim Sungyeol saw that her work attributes were planned on the Internet, Lin Xianmei felt that she was more passionate, and she preferred this way of working to boring daily work.

Hearing this, Jin Shenglie smiled and said: "I didn't expect Cui Zhenhao to be in such a hurry, I've just walked out of their company not long ago, okay, you can publish this news on the fan's official website, it's hard work." ”

"Okay, OPPA!" Lim Hyun-mi nodded in agreement.

After leaving ACUBEEntertainment, Kim Sung-yeol went straight to Kim Jong Kook, he had been busy before, and Kim Jong Kook was also busy filming "RunningMan" during that time, and the two only met in a hurry, and today both of them had time, so they agreed to come out to meet, Kim Sung-yeol got into Prime Minister Lee's car and prepared to go to Kim Jong Kook's residence.

"Director Li, how are the preparations for the registration of the company?" After getting into the car, Kim Sung-yeol was concerned about the company's progress.

And Prime Minister Li, as the most important secretary by Kim Sungyeol's side, is busy with these things all the time, so he didn't hesitate at the moment, and said bluntly: "There is no problem with the investment company's side, because it is a weekend, so you can't go over until Monday, it's no problem to stamp or something, and the office location has been handled." ”

Kim Sung-yeol's investment company chose an office building in Myeongdong, which is quite prosperous, and the office building is actually just a 5-storey house, with three floors on top and two floors underground, and the area of the first floor is almost more than 800 square meters, excluding the construction area, the actual area of the first floor is almost more than 600 square meters.

Although the area is not as good as those high-rise office buildings, this office building is better than the exquisite, strong French architectural style, anyone who has seen it will not forget. This shows that the owner of this office building is a very discerning guy. If there is a shortage, it may be that the office building does not have an underground parking lot, which is a little inconvenient, and the surface parking lot has only 26 parking spaces, which may be too little for a commercial office building.

It may also be for this reason that the office building has not found a suitable owner, and before that, the office building was also leased to a financial company, but unfortunately the company went bankrupt last month, so until now the owner of the house has not found a suitable person.

Although he didn't have the idea of buying it at first, when Kim Sung-yeol went there, he liked the layout and architectural style of this office building, and then in the following conversation, Kim Sung-yeol did not hesitate to express his willingness to buy, and for the landlord himself, he was happy in his heart, his family now lives in the United States, and his own family property in South Korea has slowly moved to the United States in the past two years, and he intends to live and settle in the United States.

It's just that this office building has not found a suitable buyer, and the landlord can't help but be overjoyed by Jin Shenglie's willingness to buy, one wants to sell and one wants to buy, so the next conversation will be more relaxed and pleasant, and then the two exchanged opinions with each other, and Jin Shenglie asked Prime Minister Li and the landlord to go through some procedures and work for the purchase of the room, which means that now the owner of this office building is Jin Shenglie.

"Well, Director Li, you and I should go again this weekend, the company needs a lot of things to prepare for the opening. As for the real estate in Yangchuan District, I don't know how long it will take to go through the procedures? Kim Sung-yeol asked with a smile.

The real estate in Yangchuan District is still a bit complicated to deal with, unlike the office building, the real estate has not been demolished and rebuilt for some historical reasons, and it still retains the appearance of a shoe factory at the end of the last century. Therefore, Prime Minister Li had to communicate with the owner of the room first to buy the real estate, and then go to the Yangchuan District administrative office to go through the house demolition procedures and subsequent construction procedures.

However, the property is located in the urban area of Yangchuan District, so the demolition procedures and rebuilding procedures are not so easy to handle, and it is precisely for this reason that Prime Minister Li has not made good progress, and when he saw Jin Shenglie asking, he couldn't help but feel a little unbearable on his face, and said embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, young master." I"

"Director Li, I don't blame you for this, you don't always take the responsibility on yourself! I think I have to find Vice Chief Huang to make progress in this matter, so I'll give Vice Chief Huang a call in the afternoon. I believe that for the sake of his father's affection before, he will more or less help with this little favor. Seeing that Prime Minister Li was about to blame himself again, Jin Shenglie knew that there was no progress in this matter, so he said with a smile.

Jin Shenglie has always had the capital to be fearless is the white transaction list in his hand, and with this list in hand, he has an extra layer of protection. He is not a living bodhisattva of great compassion, since he has hole cards in his hand, he has to take them out when it is time to use them, otherwise what are you doing in your hands? The opportunity has come, and you still have to wait for the opportunity, which is unreasonable!

And Prime Minister Li on the side was also a little relieved when he heard Jin Shenglie say this, he knew that as long as Jin Shenglie called, there should be no problem in this matter, and then Prime Minister Li nodded and continued to concentrate on driving.

In a duplex house on the first floor in Gangnam, Seoul.

"Brother, is this your new residence?" After entering, Kim Sungyeol looked at Kim Jong Kook's home and asked with a smile.

Kim Jong Kook had just opened the refrigerator at this time, took out two cans of beer, threw a can to Kim Sungyeol, and replied: "No, this is the apartment I bought, and sometimes when the shooting is busy, I live here." ”

Hearing this, Jin Shenglie couldn't help but be speechless, and sighed: "Brother, you've made a lot of money in the past few years, right?" An apartment is so magnificent, but unfortunately I still live in the apartment of less than 50 square meters in Apguting. Hey, people are more popular than dead people! ”

Seeing that Kim Sung-yeol said something interesting, Kim Jong Kook couldn't help laughing, he came to the sofa and sat down, and after taking a big sip of beer, he said to Kim Sung-yeol: "If you are willing to worry about not being able to find a house, I don't believe you have no money in your hands." Even if it was "some" some time ago, I'm afraid you made a lot of money, don't you have 200 million? ”

Jin Shenglie just smiled and didn't answer, Jin Zhongguo saw him like this, where is it not clear, I'm afraid the number is more than this, so he immediately complained: "You are a little too fast to make money, right?" Well, I admit I envy it. ”

"Brother, you're the president of the company, are you still short of money? Otherwise, I got it under my brother's company, and it just so happens that I haven't signed a contract yet. Kim Sung-yeol couldn't help but quip.

Kim Jong Kook did start JKEntertainment in 2011, but what he didn't expect was that he really didn't have any brains in running the company, in just three years, even if he made a lot of money with CF in variety shows, but the company didn't have any artists other than himself, and the practice room was not cultivated, this JKEntertainment was more like a personal studio of his own.

And after these three years, Kim Jong Kook has gradually become clear that the focus of his work should not be on these things that he is not good at, some time ago "RunningMan" UrbanWorks Entertainment found himself, said that he wanted to sign his will, Kim Jong Kook also moved, but now he is thinking about his company's JKEntertainment employees, how to deal with it.

In his opinion, it is better to go to UrbanWorks with him, so that they will not lose their jobs, in a developed country like South Korea, unemployment has always been an extremely normal thing, after all, these employees have worked for themselves, if they are left alone, Kim Jong Kook will not be able to get by. It's just that now Kim Sung-yeol suddenly joked with himself that he wanted to join his own company, which couldn't help but make Kim Jong Kook laugh.

"Holy Martyr, if you had said this to me half a year ago, I would have used all means to sign yours! It's just that now I'm not going to do this, I'm going to tell you directly, I'm going to disband JKEntertainment and join UrbanWorks Entertainment, and I'm going to bring all the employees of the company to UrbanWorks Entertainment. In the face of Kim Sung-yeol, the two are close friends, so there is nothing to hide, and Kim Jong-kook told Kim Sung-yeol his plan at the moment.

Hearing this, Kim Sung-yeol didn't have the slightest surprise on his face, it seemed that the information he got was correct, and when he heard Kim Jong Kook say this, Kim Sung-yeol smiled and said, "Brother, you've already thought about joining UrbanWorks Entertainment?" ”

Seeing Kim Sung-yeol ask like this, Kim Jong Kook's face was relaxed, he leaned back on the pillow behind him, and said with a smile: "UrbanWorks Entertainment is the recording company of "RunningMan", and you have been back in Korea for a while. "RunningMan" is now very popular in domestic variety shows, and now UrbanWorks Entertainment is also actively developing overseas markets, and it is foreseeable how much value it will have in the future. ”

"Oh? Is this the purpose of my brother's signing with UrbanWorks Entertainment? But as far as I know, it seems that Brother Shi and Ji Hyonu are no longer UrbanWorks Entertainment, but they are not still active in "RunningMan", is it only that Brother will be taken off if he does not sign a contract? This seems a bit unscientific, with my brother's reputation in South Korea, such a thing will not happen. After Kim Sungyeol finished speaking, he felt a little dry in his mouth, so he opened the beer and took a sip.

Hearing Kim Sung-yeol say this, Kim Jong Kook also knew that Kim Sung-yeol had misunderstood what he had just said, and he was ready to sign a contract with UrbanWorks Entertainment because he was worried that he would be gotten off, just because the company couldn't do it, and he was going to transfer to another company, but UrbanWorks Entertainment brought it up in a timely manner, and UrbanWorks Entertainment itself is also the company that recorded "RunningMan". I would have chosen this way out of trust in UrbanWorks Entertainment.
