Chapter 632: Insatiable Li Haoyang
Appeased the trainees within the company, Lee Jun-hee then proceeded with Kara's transfer, Lee Jun-hee originally planned to negotiate with DSP and Lee Hao-yang in person, but Lee Hyo-jeong took this matter over, although, at the beginning, Lee Hyo-jeong did not agree with the signing of Kara, but since Lee Jun-hee played the package ticket, he said that KARA has great potential and will definitely be popular in the future, and he is in trust in Lee Junxi's vision, but he is also worried that Lee Jun-hee will be over-the-top and be pitted by Lee Ho-yang.
Since Lee Hyo-jung is going, Lee Jun-hee naturally can't refuse, according to his thoughts, the members of Kara have agreed to come to NRG Company, and the rest of the matter should be handled well.
Looking at the DSP's current attitude towards Kara, it is basically ignoring it and completely giving up, and the name Kara itself is not valuable, and the DSP should not refuse NRG's negotiation request.
But things turned out to be unexpected, and the news that Lee Hyo-jung brought back was that the DSP company refused to let Kara leave.
Just surprised, Lee Jun-hee understood, this must be a conspiracy of the DSP company, even if Kara wants to break away from the DSP company, but how could the DSP company let them leave so easily, the president of the hard-line DSP company, Li Haoyang, must have dragged this matter down with the heart of procrastination, so as to force the NRG company to spend a lot of money.
It doesn't matter if the NRG company gives up, anyway, Kara is worthless now, and it's a big deal to rot in the company, this is the cruelty of the Korean song industry, Lee Jun-hee is naturally clear, after all, he is also a singer.
Originally, when NRG was going to leave MF en masse. Kim Tae-hyun and Jung Won-guan plan to use a one-handed procrastination trick to hide NRG first, preferably for a year and a half, and when NRG's popularity is almost consumed, NRG will naturally succumb.
It's a pity that they underestimated Lee Jun-hee's resolute attitude. Now, Li Haoyang obviously miscalculated.
The DSP company was willing to delay, but Lee Jun-hee didn't have the heart to play Tai Chi with the other party, so Lee Jun-hee sent Lee Hyo-jeong to the DSP company again to contact him.
But the DSP company's senior management ignored Lee Hyo-jeong at all, and just asked Lee Hyo-jeong to bring back a sentence: "If you want Kara, let Lee Jun-hee come to talk about it himself." ”
"Hmph, I really think of myself as a person. What is it! After seeing Kara's current situation, Lee Jun-hee's heart was very disgusted with Lee Ho-yang, the president of the DSP company, who had met in public before, and he didn't think it was like anything, for the sake of face, the two still talked and laughed, but when he learned about Kara's situation, he really saw this emotionless. A miser who only loves money, not talent.
“OPPA。 What do we do next? Li Xiaozhen also felt that this matter was a little tricky.
"First, let Kara rest assured, the three of them, we NRG are going to decide, and second, prepare the funds. The lion who dealt with the DSP company opened his mouth, and this time, let me personally meet Li Haoyang, the old fox. Lee Jun-hee said, a gleam flashed in his eyes, and his heart was even more determined to achieve Kara.
Next. Lee Jun-hee personally came to the office of the president of the DSP company and walked to the door of the president's office, but no one embarrassed him, and although the staff was a little surprised by Lee Jun-hee's sudden visit, they also learned through some gossip that NRG seemed to want to sign their company's failed combination Kara, and this time they must have come to negotiate with the president of their own company.
When Lee Jun-hee walked into the office of the president of DSP, he saw Lee Ho-yang, the president of DSP, sitting in the boss's chair, looking at the documents, and seemed to be working very seriously.
"President Li Haoyang, it seems rude to treat guests like this, right?" When he arrived at someone else's land, Lee Jun-hee still had a smile, as if he had really seen a good friend he hadn't seen for a long time.
"Oh, Director Lee Jun-hee is here, quick, please take a seat!" Li Haoyang pretended to look like he had just seen Li Junxi, and it was obvious that he wanted to give Li Junxi a dismount.
"Director Lee Jun-hee, what are you drinking?" Li Haoyang asked with concern.
"I don't have to look at what I drink, I guess President Li Haoyang also knows, what I came to your company for, everyone might as well get straight to the point and spread everything out and talk about it!" Li Junxi sat on the sofa, squinted his eyes, and said in a deep voice.
Although the other party is a senior, this senior's personality is obviously not worthy of respect, and Li Junxi can't force himself to maintain a respectful attitude towards him.
Li Haoyang doesn't care, he is a businessman, in his eyes, he only sees interests, and other false courtesies, so he naturally doesn't care about it.
"Why, Director Lee Jun-hee is so anxious to poach kara from our DSP company? Don't you have a Princess in NRG? I HEARD THAT ALL ALONG, I WAS PLANNING TO REORGANIZE BABY.VOX, AND IT SEEMS THAT DIRECTOR LEE JUNXI IS REALLY ADDICTED TO DIGGING! ”
Li Haoyang also sat opposite Li Junxi, his momentum was not weaker than Li Junxi, and the two seemed to have built up an aura during the conversation.
"I don't think you need to worry about President Li Haoyang about this, I know what kind of mentality you are holding on to this matter, with all due respect, these moves are too old and outdated, it is better to prescribe the conditions directly!" Lee Jun-hee gets straight to the point.
Li Haoyang ignored Li Junxi's sarcasm, smiled faintly, and said: "Actually, our DSP company really doesn't want to terminate the contract with kara, I think they still have a lot of potential, recently, I am still planning to select new members, who knows, those children, actually behind my back, and NRG company privately made an agreement, Director Li Junxi, this is not authentic!" The children who carried me on my back also need to be punished! Otherwise, they would really think their wings are stiff! ”
When Li Haoyang spoke, his expression was a little cold, obviously very dissatisfied with Li Junxi's private contact with Kara.
That's right!
Kara has failed, and the DSP company has decided to give up Kara, but this does not mean that other companies can hook up with Kara, when Lee Hyo-jung came before. He even thought that he would rather let Kara be ruined in his own hands than cheapen others.
Lee Jun-hee secretly sneered in his heart, thinking, "I'm really an idiot!" Don't I know what your DSP is going to do? ”
Li Junxi didn't say what he thought in his heart, otherwise the conversation would definitely collapse immediately. He still said patiently: "Since now President Li Haoyang is so unkind to see them, why don't you let go, how can you say that kara is also cultivated by your DSP company, do you really want to see them completely destroyed?" ”
"If they're so ungrateful, why can't I give them a little color!" Li Haoyang leaned on the sofa and said slowly.
"President Li Haoyang, you and I are both understanding people, and forcing Kara to stay is not the slightest benefit to the DSP company. Not only will it not create value for DSP companies, but it may even have a negative impact! ”
Li Haoyang scoffed at Li Junxi's statement: "Negative impact, what negative impact can there be, I want to hear Director Li Junxi talk about it!" ”
Lee Jun Hee smiled when he heard this, and said, "For example, if I was drinking with my friends one day, I accidentally talked about what happened to Kara. President Li also knows that my friends are all people in the entertainment industry. The speed at which the word spreads must be very fast, and, for example, Kara's contract! President Lee, do you need me to continue!? Some things are still not pierced out well, if. If I support Kara to take the legal route to settle the contract with the DSP company, your DSP company is estimated to suffer a lot of negative public opinion, if you really want to go that far, will there be any trainees who will want to join your DSP company in the future? I think it's necessary for you to pull DSP into one of the top companies in the Korean entertainment industry. Is it a complete loss of reputation? ”
Li Haoyang's eyelids jumped when he heard this, obviously Li Junxi's words said to his heart, indeed, of course, he can rely on his tough wrists to let Kara continue to stay in the company, but once Li Junxi is forced to be anxious, if he really supports Kara to take the legal route, it will be troublesome!
Although the so-called slave contract is something that everyone knows in the entertainment industry, as long as no one sues, the people above will naturally turn a blind eye, but if someone is more serious, the South Korean judicial department will definitely not ignore it.
Now it seems that things have developed beyond his expectations and are becoming more and more uncontrollable, especially at this juncture, Lee Jun-hee even wants to do whatever it takes to sign Kara.
After pondering for a long time, Li Haoyang spoke: "Since it is you, Director Li Junxi, who has come forward in person, I can't help but give you face, so let's do it, if you promise me two conditions, I will save with kara, and transfer the copyright of the name Kara to NRG company!" ”
Li Junxi raised his eyebrows and asked, "What conditions?" ”
"First, kara breached the contract first, and if you want to save money with the company, you have to pay the sky-high liquidated damages, for your sake, 5 billion won, it can't be lower, and second, if kara leaves the company, DSP will not compensate for any expenses."
Li Junxi frowned, 50 won, it's really thanks to Li Haoyang's mouth open!
If Kara is worth 5 billion won, then NRG is worth 100 billion won!
Although Li Junxi doesn't want to use money to measure people's value, Li Haoyang is so open-mouthed, which is obviously unacceptable to him!
"President Li Haoyang, are you sure that you have the sincerity to negotiate with me?"
Li Haoyang smiled proudly and said, "What? Is it too expensive? Director Lee Jun-hee, you must know that in order to cultivate Kara, our company has spent a lot of money! ”
Big sister!
Anyone with eyes can see that Kara's debut itself was in a hurry, and it was a product that Li Haoyang couldn't wait to launch when he saw the revival of the girl group market, how much could it cost?
At least you can guess one or two from Kara's current treatment!
Li Junxi thought about it and stood up directly: "In this case, let the court decide!" ”
Lee Jun-hee is about to leave!
Seeing this, Li Haoyang couldn't help but froze, shouldn't the next bridge section be a bargain?
How can Li Junxi not play cards according to the routine!
Seeing that Li Junxi had already walked to the door, Li Haoyang couldn't sit still, once he really took the judicial way to solve it, he couldn't afford the negative impact.
And. The contract signed by Kara at the beginning could not withstand the scrutiny of the law at all, and even the court could directly declare that the exclusive economic contract was invalid.
"Director Lee Jun-hee! Aren't you afraid of becoming the public enemy of all brokerage companies in the entire Korean entertainment industry? ”
Li Junxi stopped, looked back at Li Haoyang, and suddenly smiled: "I'm not afraid!" ”
That's right!
Once Lee Jun-hee supports Kara's lawsuit against DSP. It will definitely cause dissatisfaction among many brokerage companies, after all, the vast majority of brokerage companies in the Korean entertainment industry are not clean.
When the time comes, NRG will inevitably become a thorn in the side of many people!
After all, in a relatively stable rule, a person who suddenly wants to break this rule and deprive them of their established interests will definitely not agree to the big bosses of those brokerage companies.
However, will Lee Jun-hee care?
If. The current NRG company is just getting started, and Lee Jun-hee certainly doesn't have the courage, but today's NRG company is no longer what it used to be, and in the Korean music industry, NRG has truly become a large brokerage company with S.M, JYP and YG.
On top of that, with the succession of Princess and Lee Jun Hee in the United States, the channel of the American market. It's ripe!
This kind of channel is popular with everyone!
The executives of the brokerage companies with brains will only think about working with NRG. Whoever wants to move NRG should weigh it up!
Li Junxi's reaction made Li Haoyang's heart sink suddenly: "Then put forward your conditions!" ”
Lee Jun-hee smiled when he heard this, and raised a finger: "100 million won, this is the highest price I can give you!" ”
When Li Haoyang heard this, his heart was worse than eating 10,000 flies. The price given by Lee Jun-hee was stuck right on his neck.
After Lee Hyo-jung came yesterday, DSP has already calculated that the company's total investment in Kara during this period of time is exactly 100 million won.
It's a bit ridiculous to say!
It's really only 100 million won!
Right now. Even if it is a small brokerage company, in order to cultivate artists, it will spend money like crazy, but DSP companies are so frugal and have cultivated a girl group, and until now, it has only spent 100 million won.
What an irony!
"100 million won is simply impossible!" Li Haoyang said angrily, "Since Director Li Junxi is also the head of a brokerage company, he should know how much money is needed to cultivate a combination!" ”
Li Junxi smiled: "President Li Haoyang, I don't think there is any need to say anything about this matter, okay!" I'll give in one more step, 200 million won, and if I don't agree again, I can only suspend the negotiations! ”
Seeing that Li Junxi's attitude was so resolute, although Li Haoyang was unwilling, he could only pinch his nose and admit it, anyway, he still had to make money, and besides, the money that Kara members earned before, although it was not much, but mosquitoes were also meat when they were small.
"Good! I promised! Is there anything else Director Lee Jun Hee would like to add? When he said this, Li Haoyang felt that his heart was dripping blood.
"First, sign a termination letter with Kara immediately, second, announce it to the public, and third, the copyright of kara's song will also belong to our NRG company" Lee Jun-hee simply put forward three conditions.
When Li Haoyang heard this, his face became a little gloomy, and after thinking about it for a while, he replied: "Sign the termination letter immediately, no problem, it will be announced to the public, it will be simpler, but for the third article, I am afraid it will be difficult for me to agree." ”
When Li Junxi heard this, his heart was full of anger, he didn't expect the other party to be so shameless, since he had agreed to save with Kara, why still hold the copyright of Kara's songs.
If kara leaves the DSP company, but the copyright of the songs they sing is still held by the DSP company, it means that without the consent of the DSP company in the future, kara can no longer sing the original songs, although those songs, in Lee Junxi's ears, the quality is very average, but after all, it belongs to Kara, and it is good to hold the bottom of the box, without the copyright of these songs, for a perfectionist like Lee Junxi, Kara is incomplete!
"President Li Haoyang, do you think there is a must for this, isn't it the copyright of a few songs, everyone is in this circle, there is no reason to make an unpleasant fuss for such a small matter!"
"Director Lee Jun-hee! You must know that these songs are all one in a hundred, and they are all bought by our DSP company at a large price from an outside music studio, how can you just give it. ”
In order to disgust Li Junxi, Li Haoyang made up his mind, and he didn't let go of it even if he bit it to death, without the slightest feeling of backing down.
One in a hundred?
You owe your level of appreciation!? Get the release money and go to recharge!
It also cost a lot of money!
If it is true, Li Junxi can only say: President Li Haoyang, you wronged boss was slaughtered!
"President Li Haoyang, what you said is true?" Li Junxi was secretly angry in his heart and asked for the last time.
"Of course!"
"Okay, then that's it, I'll arrange for Kara to sign the termination letter with you tomorrow!"
Seeing that Li Haoyang is so persistent, Li Junxi doesn't want to talk nonsense with him, those songs, if they don't have them, they won't be a big deal, anyway.
After saying that, Li Junxi shook his hand and left the office, at the moment he was angry and his teeth were itching, the other party did this, undoubtedly to disgust him, what else did he say, isn't it just a few songs, with him, are you afraid that you won't be able to create a song suitable for kara?
