Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
The June sun is a bit harsh, especially in the afternoon, when the visible heat fills every corner and the streets are crowded with pedestrians.
A café in the Erjianglan district.
Li Xiuman frowned and looked at the young man sitting in front of him, yes, it can only be described as a teenager, because the years do not seem to have left any traces on his face.
A little pale face, two thick eyebrows looming under the messy bangs, a pair of thin lips under the bridge of the nose that is not too straight, and the only thing that impresses people is probably the big bright eyes, deep and distant.
"Li Huaiyu?"
"Yes!" The boy nodded and replied softly.
"Twenty?"
Li Huaiyu put down the coffee cup in his hand, smiled lightly, and showed a mouthful of white teeth: "According to Korean parlance, twenty-one years old!" ”
Li Xiuman's brows furrowed even deeper: "Are you Chinese?" ”
"President Li looks down on Chinese? I remember that there seems to be a Chinese in your company's idol group Superjunior, right? Li Huaiyu took the coffee and took a sip gently, the aroma was rich and tangy, "I am of mixed Chinese and Korean descent, and my mother is Chinese!" ”
"I don't know why your company sent you, but in that case, I take the liberty to ask, Mr. Li, can you take charge of the cooperation between the two companies?"
Li Xiuman's words were thorny, obviously looking down on the hairy guy in front of him who was only twenty-one years old, after all, he was the head of a company, and he was also the president of S.M, the largest brokerage company in South Korea, and he had the arrogance of being in a high position all year round.
"Cooperation?" Regarding Li Xiuman's words, Li Huaiyu scoffed and said disdainfully, "President Li, don't forget, this project is not a cooperation, but a unilateral request from your company, please pay attention to your words." Plus, it's fair to say that without my nod, S.M's artists would never have appeared on Naver's search charts! ”
Li Xiuman was shocked, could it be that he looked away? This raunchy young man in his twenties is actually the person behind the helm of Naver, one of the four major portals in South Korea?
Glancing at Li Xiuman, whose face had changed greatly, Li Huaiyu shook his head with a smile and said, "Of course Naver is not mine, I'm just a part-time worker, isn't it clearly written on the business card?" I'm just a head of the technical department! ”
Li Huaiyu's words left a lot of leeway. In fact, most people who understand the Internet know that the biggest support of a portal website is that in addition to strong funds, strong technology is also absolutely indispensable.
It is only when money and technology are combined that everything becomes possible.
Although Lee Huaiyu is a Chinese-Korean mixed-race, he has lived in South Korea since he was a child, of course he knows the middle-aged uncle in front of him, he is the president of S.M, an economic company that has launched several boy group groups such as H.O.T, Shinhye, Superjunio, and TVXQ, and is known as the 'Godfather of Korean Music', and he is almost inseparable from the trend in the music industry.
It can be said that South Korea's entertainment industry can be what it is now, and Lee so-man has made great contributions.
However, this qiē is only in the entertainment industry, in Li Huaiyu's view, entertainment is entertainment after all, and it cannot be separated from the category of spiritual food, it is just a circle for children to play at home.
Li Huaiyu came into contact with computers at the age of nine, the Internet at the age of eleven, and by the age of thirteen, he had already founded the predecessor of Naver with a few friends. In 2001, when Naver was officially put into operation, Li Huaiyu was only 14 years old.
It stands to reason that such a genius boy has long been famous all over the country and famous all over the world. However, Li Huaiyu, who has half Chinese blood in his bones, has been taught by his mother since he was a child, low-key, humble, and rarely appears in public, so that for more than six years since Naver was founded, Li Huaiyu's name has not been known, and even within the company has been just a rumor, after all, he only holds the title of the head of a technology department.
This year, 2007, Li Huaiyu is 20 years old.
"I just took the liberty of it!" Li Xiuman wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, lowered his voice, and his tone became humble, "Now can we talk about specific matters?" ”
Li Xiuman is very smart, he has been in that mixed circle for so many years, and his ability to observe words and emotions has been perfected, he knows that Li Huaiyu is talented, but he didn't expect to be so talented. Naver is a big company, let alone the head of a department, and even casually holding the position of a section chief can be proud in front of him.
Li Xiuman has never been a person who judges people by their appearance, but Li Huaiyu's first impression on him was too young, so that he relaxed his vigilance, but fortunately, he experienced too much and adjusted his mentality as soon as possible.
"Yes!" Li Huaiyu nodded, his expression a little helpless.
Partner Han Junyi is right, he is too casual, he doesn't pay attention to his dress, he doesn't pay attention to his speech advances, and even the minister of the technical department was forced to him by Han Junyi. Young people in their twenties do not have indomitable enthusiasm, but are like old men who eat and wait for death, hanging their heads every day, and never looking at people directly.
"Our S.M company is going to launch a new group at the beginning of next month, which is a girl group with nine members, and the group is called 'Girls' Generation'!" Li Xiuman took out a copy of the text and began to tell Li Huaiyu about the purpose of the trip.
"Girls' Generation?" The corners of Li Huaiyu's mouth rose slightly, is he ready to fight in the ring with J.y.p's ondergir1s?
Li Xiuman nodded and continued: "I believe Mr. Li also knows that there are too many artists who debut in South Korea every year, and it is basically impossible for newcomers to succeed if they want to stand out without a little effort or find another way!" ”
"So what?" Li Huaiyu interjected,
"The board of directors decided to let them go the path of the 'gossip effect' in order to achieve the effect of attracting attention!"
"Scandal?" Li Huaiyu nodded.
It is true that in today's Internet reach, if a person or a group wants to become popular, it is no faster than a scandal, especially with those celebrities who have become popular, the effect will be more ideal.
"When the time comes, I will give Mr. Li some information, I hope your company can help with it, in that case, I believe the effect will be better!" Li Xiuman handed the text in his hand to Li Huaiyu, "This is some information about Girls' Generation, if Mr. Li is interested, you can take a look!" ”
"Plus, this is an extra reward for Mr. Li!" Li Xiuman took out a check from his pocket and put it in front of Li Huaiyu.
Li Huaiyu raised his head, looked at Li Xiuman, and said with a smile: "It seems that President Li has not done enough careful about my investigation in advance!" ”
Li Xiuman was stunned.
"The last thing I like as a person is money!" Li Huaiyu said lightly, "In my opinion, as long as the money is enough to spend, too much is just a series of numbers!" ”
Li Huaiyu is not pretending to be forced, nor is he saying polite words, these are all facts. As one of the major shareholders of Naver, his annual revenue is calculated in 100 million yuan, and it is also in US dollars, he doesn't care about the check in front of him that is only 100 million won.
And since he was a child, he was well educated by his mother, Li Huaiyu has always believed that money gets in the way, although sometimes he has to try to adapt to this society full of copper smell, but more often, he will choose to be alone.
"Don't get me wrong, Mr. Li, this is just a little bit of my personal thoughts! I grew up watching those kids, and I just want them to succeed! Li Xiuman waved his hand and said with a smile.
"Then choose to go this way?"
"The decision of the board of directors, I am just the president, and many times I have to choose to obey!" Li Xiuman was a little helpless, and his slightly white temples betrayed his still smooth forehead.
Li Huaiyu casually flipped through the text in his hand, and suddenly his face changed slightly, and the corners of his mouth curled up with a strange arc.
"President Li, what if I choose to refuse?"
Li Xiuman looked at Li Huaiyu suspiciously.
"I mean, what if I refuse to work with you?" Li Huaiyu smiled faintly, turned his head to look out the window, and his voice was long and long, "In this world, it doesn't mean that you will be rewarded if you pay. Too often, we get what we expect or nothing at all. Your company's idea is very good, relying on scandals with your predecessors to attract the public's attention, but President Li, have you ever thought that if you pay the reputation and the price, but get a boo or even a more tragic result, then what about this combination called 'Girls' Generation'? Will it be hidden or will it be disbanded? ”
"President Li also said just now, you watched them grow up, so do I have reason to believe that the relationship between you and them is not simply the relationship between the company boss and its artists? You can't bear to watch their years of practice end in failure? Since then, it has become a laughing stock for people to talk about after dinner? ”
"My parents helped me name Huaiyu because they wanted me to be introductive and magnanimous, but not everyone in this world would think so. This society is full of too much darkness and too much miasma, can you guarantee that after the scandal, they will be able to stand on that stage and accept the adoring eyes of everyone? ”
Li Xiuman was stunned by Li Huaiyu's words, as the president of an economic company, of course he thought of this, but the young man in front of him, who has been dealing with computers all the year round, can also think of so much, which makes Li Xiuman have to sigh, the gap between people has really existed since ancient times, and there is a tendency to intensify.
"I can't guarantee it!" Li Xiuman shook his head, "I can't guarantee anything, but I have to do this, and only by doing this will there be a glimmer of hope!" ”
Li Huaiyu stared at Li Xiuman for a long time, and suddenly smiled, his originally pale face was a little bright: "I can agree to your request, but there is a premise!" ”
"What premise?"
"I want to meet them!"
