Chapter 408: Negotiation
"Hello, welcome to JHJEntertainment, who are you looking for?"
Seeing a group of several people coming to him, the girl at the front desk of JHJ stood up and bowed slightly and asked, her attitude was nothing to say.
"I'm looking for your Chairman Jung Hyuk-jae." The middle-aged man who took the lead spoke, and as he spoke, his eyes fell on the glass door behind the girl at the front desk, only to see the bustling staff inside the door, a thriving scene.
Behind the middle-aged man, two subordinates leaned against each other and discussed in a low voice, "I've only heard of the name of JHJEntertainment before, but I didn't expect its company to be in the same building as Bae Yongjun's KEYEAST company." ”
"But the two companies still look very different, and they take different paths."
Hearing the words of the colleague next to him, this person nodded slightly in agreement, "KEYEAST was formerly a personal studio BOF brokerage company founded by Pei Yongjun himself, and it is actually his personal studio company, if there is no joint investment between SoftBank and IMX in February this year, it is unrealistic for Pei Yongjun to take the management rights of OTTOWINTECH, the predecessor of KEYEAST." ”
"This is the truth, KEYEAST investment involved in the field includes brokerage companies, new talent discovery training, film and television production, the first two are still more interesting, but the latter film and television production, to be honest, KEYEAST in the film and television investment and production industry is still a little too young, after all, a young and dynamic company like JHJEntertainment is just such a ......"
Hearing what these people in front of her were talking about, the front desk girl who had never experienced this was a little surprised, but she still focused on her own work, "Do you have an appointment?" ”
"Yes, I am Nan Tongguang, the representative of OCN Cable TV, and I have an appointment with your President Zheng."
The girl at the front desk smiled slightly, "Okay, I got it!" I'll help you make sure. As he spoke, he picked up the phone at the front desk, and after calling Secretary Jung Hyuk-jae for a confirmation call, he said with a smile, "Please, Chairman Zheng is already waiting for you in the conference room." ”
Under the leadership of the front desk lady, Nan Tongguang and his party walked into this so-called youngest and most energetic film and television company, and everything was extremely attractive to them.
Nam Tongguang's identity is the representative of OCN Cable TV, and he came here today mainly to negotiate with Jung Hyuk-jae about OCN Cable TV.
OCN, as a cable TV channel under On-media, has always been a winning general in the ratings of cable TV stations, as a paid channel for overseas movies and TV series, OCN's income has always been good, but with the advent of the Internet era, coupled with the arrival of p2p sharing, more and more viewers put down the remote control in their hands and chose free videos on the Internet, everyone knows that this is illegal, but there are always people who are greedy and reluctant to spend money.
The impact of the Internet era on the OCN channel can be imagined, coupled with the announcement of On-media's upcoming launch of Cathon's new channel, the position of OCN is becoming more and more awkward, and the news of the imminent merger of the two channels is also frequent, but just when the staff of the OCN channel is waiting for the head office to make the decision to 'merge', suddenly new news came, On-media decided to sell OCN cable TV station?
This is not a big earthquake for the cable TV circle, which has always been as dull as water, and in addition to the announcement of CJ Entertainment's entry into the cable TV industry some time ago, and the upcoming launch of On-media's new channel, it seems that all the big events are coming together.
Nan Tongguang didn't know why he suddenly wanted to sell the original cable TV channel, and it was only later that he heard such a rumor, in 1995, OCN cable TV channel was founded by Daewoo Media, a subsidiary of Daewoo Group, at that time its name was still called "DCN" (DaewooCinemaNetwork), in 1999 because Daewoo Media collapsed, DCN was taken over by On-Media, a media company owned by Holiyo Confectionery, and renamed 'OCN'.
The name Orion, which is known to almost every Korean, is Holiyo, a food company founded in 1956 and one of the four largest food companies in Korea, along with Nongshim, CJ Sugar and Lotte.
Although Orion Group and CJ Group are both representative stocks in the food and beverage industry, they are not competitors, and CJ Lifestyle and Orion's biscuit business are not in conflict in the food industry, but with the entry of new members of each subgroup, it seems that 'Orion' vs. 'CJ' has become an inevitable war, especially in the media field.
Orion is definitely a new competitor in the stock market for CJ, and although there was no conflict between the two sides in various industries before, with the development of the group's business, the competitive relationship between companies is also quietly changing.
This is one of the reasons why Orion's On-media chose to form Cathon after CJ Entertainment announced its foray into cable channels. As for why it chose to sell OCN at this time, instead of choosing to integrate and merge the two cable channels, it is estimated that Orion is also quarreling non-stop, the biggest reason may be because of the sluggish performance and high expenses of the OCN channel, which is estimated to not improve too quickly after the integration, plus when the new channel should develop rapidly in the early stage, if there is a mistake because of the merger, it will definitely outweigh the loss. This made the Orion Group a little unbearable.
It's better to 'long pain is better than short pain', and selling it directly is probably the best choice.

"President Zheng!"
Nan Tongguang and his entourage came to the conference room and saw Zheng Hyuk-jae who greeted him in front of the door, as the director and boss who has been the most discussed in the film industry recently, Jung Hyuk-jae's age is one of the key points they have been paying attention to, and now at a glance, Jung Hyuk-jae's body is far from the frivolity and eyes above the sky on a young man of his age, and his attitude is very upright, as can be seen from the action when shaking hands, the palms are dry, concise and powerful, and the first impression is full of confidence.
"Representative Nan, it's finally time for you."
"I've kept you waiting." After shaking hands with Zheng Hyukzai, Nan Tongguang sat down, and the main forces he brought also found places to sit down, and everyone sat down one by one, and then this started today's agenda.
Before the meeting began, Nan Tongguang first handed the folder in his hand to Zheng Hyukzai's hand, Zheng Hyukzai opened it and looked at it lightly a few times before raising his head, and then asked, "This is?" ”
"This is a table of last year's statistics on the share of cable TV channels, please take a look." Nam Tongguang handed the document in his hand to Jung Hyuk-jae's hand, and then asked, "There is another copy here, which is a survey of the audience's favorite cable TV channel." ”
Zheng Hyuk-jae roughly looked through the results, and then understood the meaning of Nam Tongguang's move, on the list of last year's cable TV channels, OCN as a veteran of TV and movie channels is still very good, with a market share of 15%, and the audience's favorite cable TV movie channel is also very high, and it has even won the first place in the previous rankings.
However, although the results on the report are good, Jung Hyuk-jae knows that he can't take these things too seriously, and if Nam Tongguang does this, the purpose must be to raise the price of OCN again, after all, the buyer will want to buy it at a high price when he sees that the income is good.
"What are you going to do with OCN? Is it a full package, or what are you going to do? Jung Hyuk-jae couldn't help but ask.
Nam Tongguang understood that the expression on Zheng Hyuk Jae's face had hardly changed, and he felt a little bad in his heart, could it be that the reports he made had been seen through by him? Thinking of this, Nan Tongguang was a little afraid, but he still replied seriously, "We decided to pack it up." ”
"Packing?" Jung Hyuk-jae was stunned for a moment, and then immediately reacted, "Since it is packaged, what about the copyright of a movie and TV series purchased by OCN Channel?" ”
"The darkness of this, do you think this will work, the two of us will set up a copyright library for these film sources, which belongs to the common part?" Nan Tongguang opened his mouth and proposed.
When Nam Tongguang mentioned this suggestion, he didn't get any hints from others, which was also a strategy he came up with by himself, after all, doing so is like putting the goods on the counter in a unified manner, and taking what you need, and this also closely links the two companies together, which is definitely a thing that does more good than bad for the development of CJ Entertainment.
Thinking of this, Nam Tongguang thought that Zheng Hyuk-jae would agree to his proposal immediately, but what he didn't expect was that Zheng Hyuk-jae rejected his proposal directly.
"In terms of the copyright of movies and TV series, there is no need to build a copyright library, and we can do without this." Jung Hyuk-jae said directly.
OCN is a pay TV station that specializes in broadcasting movies and TV dramas, and movies and TV series are the foundation of OCN.
In fact, the reason is very simple, if Jung Hyuk-jae can win OCN, OCN's current positioning is definitely going to change, most of the cable TV stations started by broadcasting overseas movies and TV series, and now it is already 2006, the cable TV industry must change from broadcast to original at this point, if you can win OCN, Jung Hyuk-jae's next plan for OCN is to revise.
Nan Tongguang nodded slightly, copyright or something is not actually the focus this time, his focus this time is how to sell OCN at a good price, and then he can alleviate the urgent need of the head office.

"OCN cable channels are about to be sold off?"
"On-media Media's OCN was sold off, and it is reported that JHJ may become the owner of OCN"
"The Trouble of Beauty" broke two million viewers at the box office, and comedy movies are about to usher in their own spring."
"Jung Hyuk Jae Han Jiaren is suspected of having a ...... marriage"
Of course, the last piece of news seems to be a tabloid report and does not have much credibility.
As the production company of "The Troubles of Beauty", JHJFilm has experienced the production of films such as "Lao Qian" and "The Troubles of Beauty", and many insiders in the film industry have only admired JHJFilm in addition to admiration, admiration for Jung Hyuk-jae's vision, and also admiration for Jung Hyuk-jae's hard work.
You must know that film, as an extremely money-burning industry, although the profits are high, the relative risk is not small, and if you are not careful, you will be like a gambler, and you will lose even your pants, just like when Park Guangxian invested in making a movie, he also gambled all his family property on this movie, and one wrong step is the abyss from which it will never recover.
Judging from JHJFilm's current investment moves, it seems that it never invites capital investment, such as "Lao Qian" and "The Troubles of Beauty", both of which are fully beneficiary of Jung Hyuk Jae, and it can be said that once the box office fails, it will be no less than a catastrophe for Jung Hyuk Jae and his JHJEntertainment.
Everyone wants to see this scene, but the reality is that JHJFilm is all the rage in the film business, and everyone is greedy.
The other two pieces of news are that JHJ is about to join OCN.
As the most popular cable TV movie channel in South Korea, OCN, many families have subscribed to this paid channel, but in the face of the development and rise of the Internet industry, the cable TV industry has inevitably been impacted. This moment has been left behind by them.
Although the performance is poor, but after all, the original foundation is still there, as the earliest cable TV channel in China, OCN still has a lot of potential users and people, so although there are many companies that talk about OCN with On-media, none of them can meet Nan Tongguang's inner expectations.
Among them, JHJ's sincerity is the greatest, but the conditions given are still not enough.
Because the OCN involved is not a small company, Jung Hyuk-jae's routine with Nam Tongguang has lasted for a short time, nearly two weeks, and the final ownership of OCN has not been determined, and On-media is also anxious.
At the same time, it was reported that JHJ had already obtained the relevant certificate from the cable TV association, "As a former partner of CJ Entertainment, JHJEntertainment is about to fight CJ Entertainment in the cable TV ring, and I believe this must be very good." ”
Putting aside whether the news is true or false for the time being, Nan Tongguang was a little panicked......
