Chapter 635: It turned out to be a misunderstanding
"Alas, in a blink of an eye, several years have passed," Li Xiuman said with emotion: "I remember the first time I saw you, you were still a child. β
It's not exactly a warm offensive, he watched Hee Sung go from being annoyed that his work was plagiarized and trying to get justice, to now forcing him, the head of South Korea's largest entertainment company, to bow his head, and the emotion in his heart is deeper than others.
"I'm not an adult now, so I'm not allowed to drink at the bar," Hee Sung laughed at himself, "Is there something wrong with the teacher coming over today?" β
There is no need to humiliate Li Xiuman, all Xicheng wants is a situation that he is satisfied with.
Li Xiuman sighed in his heart and said, "You are the largest shareholder of the company, and there are some situations I think you should know." He handed over a copy of the S&M's stock price evaluation report.
Xicheng only felt funny, if it weren't for the current predicament, I am afraid that this person in front of him would never take the initiative to show himself these texts.
"The company is facing very difficult difficulties right now," Li Xiuman said abruptly, "so I would like to hear your opinion." β
"The teacher single-handedly laid down such a situation, and he has come over after all the hardships," Hee Sung couldn't help but sarcastically, "How can there be any hurdles that can't be overcome, it's a joke to come here today." β
"When I got involved in the music industry in the early 70s, my biggest wish at that time was to be a good singer," Lee so-man took a deep breath and said indifferently: "It's a pity that there was no room for singers to play in the Korean music scene at that time, and it took me ten years of hard work to understand how backward our Korean music is......"
Hee-sung looked up at him, lowered his head and shook the coffee cup in his hand.
"I'm not reconciled," Lee so-man seemed to return to the moment when he was more than ten years old, and said passionately: "So, I gave up my career as a singer and dreamed of developing a commercial process, mass-producing singers, and creating my own music country ...... Korea."
I have to say. No matter how much you don't like Li Xiuman, you have to admit that he has a very charismatic personality.
He established the SM project with 200 million won and began to produce music for young people, and it was he who led the development of the industry and formed a unique star-making model in Korea. Whether it is DSP, JYP, and later YG and mnet, they all adopt his management model of cultivating singers and assigning them to professional agents.
It can even be said that Li Xiuman represents an era of entertainment.
People often say that S&M Entertainment is the biggest entertainment company in South Korea, not that the company is rich. How many famous artists there are, but it is an affirmation of his role in the music industry.
"The teacher is a very amazing person," Xicheng praised sincerely: "If there is anyone in the entertainment industry who is worthy of my admiration, it must be the teacher." β
"I'm old," Li Xiuman smiled disappreδΈι¨ly, "I have earned enough money to spend, but I don't want S&M to fall in my hands anyway, this is a hall of stars, and it is a very beautiful dream." In the beginning, it was just a pure dream. β
The treatment of Korean artists is very poor, not because the entertainment company is really black-hearted.
This small land has such a developed entertainment that the Korean Wave, which is popular throughout Asia, can appear, and it is this harsh system that has been incubated.
Hee Sung leaned forward. Picking up the copy, he pondered for a while and asked, "I also feel that I should do my part for this dream, how does the teacher think this matter should be handled?" β
"I want your help," Li Xiuman said with great difficulty, "My request is very simple. I don't want this company to disappear, and I'm willing to give up the right to operate the company. β
After all, this is a resolute and almost ruthless person, even if it hurts to the heart. He made that decision anyway.
Hee Sung raised his eyebrows in surprise, staring at Li Xiuman in disbelief, and it took him a while to understand that what the other party said was true. Li Xiuman also stared at Xicheng intently, waiting for this young man who was nearly forty years younger than himself to make a statement.
"Actually," Hee Sung tugged at the corners of his mouth, "I never thought of swallowing S&M, and the reason why I got S&M's equity was really because it was convenient to take care of a few friends, but unfortunately you don't believe it." β
At the board meeting, Hee Sung made a request from beginning to end - not to hide Girls' Generation, but unfortunately the board members who have experienced too many intrigues in the mall do not believe that Hee Sung will be so "simple".
They saw Hee-sung's gathering of board members for a meeting as a covetousness of the 19-year-old to manage the company.
No one wanted a hairy boy to dictate to them, and everyone, including Lee so-man and Kim Young-min, subconsciously resisted any demands made by Hee-sung.
It's all about this, and Li Xiuman can't think of any reason for Xicheng to put on makeup.
Is it really just because of such a small request?
, the godfather figure who has been in the Korean music scene for more than ten years, only feels dry and bitter in his mouth, and has an urge to spurt blood.
Because of such a small request, the market value of S&M companies has shrunk by more than five times, and now it is inferior to many medium-sized entertainment companies.
"I understand," Li Xiuman took a deep breath and said in a very reluctant tone: "At this point, there must be a solution, I don't know what your opinion is Xicheng?" β
"If the teacher has any ideas, just say it," Hee Cheng also had a lot of emotion, but the situation in front of him was controlled by him.
"I'll ask President Kim to come over too, let's discuss," Hee-sung's attitude was unexpected by Li Xiuman, and he was indeed relieved while being annoyed.
S&M's defense line has been shrinking due to the recent series of events, and a large area of territory has been vacated, and if there is no strong force to intervene, this part will soon be swallowed up and digested by other entertainment companies, and the company's situation will be even more difficult at that time.
If Hee Sung and the hades behind him are willing to make a move, they can at least alleviate the situation in a certain way, not to mention, looking at Hee Sung's attitude now, it seems that there is no intention of seizing the management rights of S&M.
In the latest round of equity changes, Hee-sung, Lee so-man, and Kim Young-min are undoubtedly the most staunch equity holders, and finally formed a situation of three major shareholders in parallel with 38 percent of Hee Sung, 23 percent of Lee so-man, and 9 percent of Kim Young-min.
About 10 percent of the other is around Kim Young-min and Lee so-man, each with its own spokesperson, and the rest is held by retail investors and some foreign capital.
Other words. These three men are already fully qualified to decide the fate of S&M.
After waiting for about fifteen minutes, Kim Young-min had already appeared at the door.
The three of them sat down separately, the atmosphere was awkward and heavy, and they were once cold.
This was the first time since the outbreak of the S&M crisis that the three of them sat together to discuss things, and it was also a fateful meeting.
"There were many misunderstandings before, but after all, they are all in the past," Li Xiuman said first: "The career still has to continue, and it is estimated that no one wants to see the day when the company falls." β
Hee Sung and Kim Young-min glanced at each other and both nodded. can be regarded as agreeing with Li Xiuman's statement.
"So, I hope we can have an open and honest talk," Li Xiuman said earnestly: "You can spread out any ideas and say it, the most important thing now is to restore the vitality of the company." β
"If there's anything to say, if it doesn't work, then it's better to break the net," Kim Young-min said angrily.
Recently, S&M faced a crisis, and Kim Young-min, as the president, bore the brunt of it, and was ridiculed by people from all walks of life inside and outside, and almost everyone blamed him for the main responsibility. I have a fire in my heart for a long time.
"Hmph, the fish is dead and the net is broken," Hee Cheng pursed his lips and sneered, "Okay." Otherwise, we'll see. β
Kim Youngmin's hand on his knee clenched violently, but soon relaxed again, and he was like a balloon that had been punctured, and he lost his momentum in an instant.
His face was red with excitement. But it soon turned pale again.
Yes, it's not easy to talk about fish dead and broken!
No S&M. Hee Sung just lost a sum of money, and he, Jin Yingmin, not only lost a company, but he personally became a negative teaching material in the industry because of the failure of his business.
Look, it's him who has put South Korea's largest entertainment company out of business.
I've wanted to keep my head up all my life.
I don't know why, the boy he didn't like to look at has grown to the point where he has to bow his head.
"Why be angry," Li Xiuman can't make Kim Yingmin embarrassed all the time, for listed companies, nine percent is already a large part of the assets, and Kim Yingmin himself is finally the spokesperson he pushed to the forefront.
"It's not that I want to be angry, it's that some people have problems with their minds," Hee Sung doesn't plan to continue to tolerate it, he used to tolerate Kim Young-min, mainly because he didn't want to make Girls' Generation difficult.
Facts have proved that blindly giving in will only create the illusion that you are easy to bully.
"Could it be that someone rode it to the head, and I still applauded and welcomed?" President Kim has been calling for wind and rain in recent years, where do you remember the trembling when he first came to power, but things have come too quickly recently, and he obviously has not put himself in the right position.
"Just because it's a treasure in your eyes doesn't mean that others will be rare," Hee Sung sneered, glancing at him mockingly.
"Ahem...... "Ahem" Li Xiuman coughed dryly, and the unfortunate director who was shot tried to make his voice heard, "Yingmin, you may have misunderstood, Hee Sung really just wants to be the master of Girls' Generation, and now the truth is revealed, and those girls have also been wronged, now we have to make amends, right?" β
"This ......" Kim Young-min subconsciously wanted to question, he didn't believe that Hee-sung was so innocent, but deep down in his heart, there was a voice that kept bewitching him, bewitching him to believe this.
Because only in this way can he be brought back to life.
President Kim's entanglement at this time, I'm afraid no one can understand it.
One second, he was still sneering at Xicheng, and the next second, I am afraid that he will have to rely on Xicheng's past to escape. This entanglement made it impossible for him to speak.
After all, he himself is a man with a strong sense of vanity.
If Kim Young-min had spoken well from the beginning, Hee-sung really didn't plan to embarrass him, after all, he didn't go for the S&M management right.
But now, Hee Sung really doesn't plan to go as simple as he wants.
Even a clay figure has three points of fire, not to mention a person like Hee Cheng who never wrongs himself, so he pursed his lips tightly, and there was no sign of opening his mouth to ease the atmosphere. (To be continued......)
