Chapter 623: Ruthless
"You ......" Choi Min-hee looked at Kim Young-min in disbelief, he thought that Lee so-man would oppose it, and he also thought that other shareholders would make different voices, but he didn't expect that it was the president who would make the first move.
If Girls' Generation really fails, Kim Young-min, the so-called president, will be able to do it.
In the past two years, S&M has put so much effort into the girl group, and it is not the credit of Kim Young-min, the nominal decision-maker, that the money has been invested and the people have been used, but the result has failed, and such a president will definitely be vetoed by the board of directors.
The company's decision-makers must lead everyone to make money, otherwise they will not be able to sit still no matter how many shares they have.
Choi Min-hee peeked at Hee-sung, thinking that he would see his ugly face, but he didn't expect Hee-sung to just sneer, as if he had expected Kim Young-min to say this.
"According to the current situation of Girls' Generation, no amount of resources is a waste," Li Xiuman said unceremoniously, his small eyes keenly scanning everyone present, with his usual strength and confidence.
With him at the beginning, the people below were even more polite, expressing their opinions one by one.
"Focus on Girls' Generation? Have you investigated the market, do you know what the situation of this combination is now, how much money is smashed, no matter how much resources you have, it may not be able to recover, it is better to get a new group. ”
"It's remarkable to have 35 percent of the shares, and this council is really meaningless."
"After all, this kid is still too young, he doesn't understand anything, just honestly wait for the dividends, don't keep thinking about pointing fingers at the company, this is not a child's house"
"The last time I discussed, I thought that those girls had been practicing for many years after all, and I wanted to wait and see, hum, now that you are inexplicably standing up for her, that combination will be hidden forever."
"Yes. I eat more salt than this kid, and I've worked hard for most of my life, so I need to look at his face? ”
"No, no!"
"Yes, against this bill."
……
The venue was a mess, and it was all opposition.
Li Xiu Manzhi smiled with satisfaction, looked at Xicheng and asked, "Do you still need to vote for a resolution, you don't have more than 50% of the equity, it is impossible to decide any proposal alone." ”
He didn't actually want to go toe-to-toe with Hee-sung like this, but he was forced to do so. Conflict is unavoidable.
More than ten years of hard work, no matter what, it is impossible to lightly hand over to the ignorant children of teenagers.
The people in the office all looked at Hee Sung coldly, looking at the person who had just become the largest shareholder of the company, the venue was quiet, no one spoke, and the atmosphere was getting lower and lower, almost zero degrees.
Resisting a major shareholder is a disaster for any company.
The rights and interests of major shareholders are stronger than those of ordinary shareholders, and their tactics are more reasonable.
The victory now means nothing.
"I hope you don't regret it." Xi Cheng shook his head and stood up, giving him a meaningful look, "As the first shareholder, in fact, my request is not too much. It's a shame......"
After speaking, he took Cui Minxi away.
His request was really simple - just for girlhood, but unfortunately no one believed that he was that simple.
Hee Sung officially became the first resolution proposed by the largest shareholder of S&M, which was jointly rejected by all shareholders. In other words, most of his efforts in the last half year have been completely in vain.
Lee so-man and Kim Young-min compromised with each other and teamed up to win.
This is the result of the first meeting.
"Girlhood didn't work out. It doesn't mean a complete failure, there is still a new girl group," in private, Li Xiuman comforted Kim Yingmin so much, he said with a smile: "This time Xicheng is menacing, I thought it was a trouble, but I didn't expect it to make the shareholders feel a sense of crisis, and it is estimated that not many people will hold you accountable." ”
In a company, the president is nothing at all, and the real masters are the shareholders of all sizes, and it is the board of directors.
Something like this happened in Girls' Generation, Kim Young-min, as the planner and president, is to blame, and it is difficult to say whether he will be dismissed, but he must bear the blame of the shareholders.
Now because of the issue of equity changes, shareholders are extremely hostile to Hee Sung who fell from the sky, and even Kim Young-min who is on their side is much more tolerant.
"I'll learn a lesson this time," compared to the beginning of the year, Kim Yingmin lost a lot of weight, and his face was not very good-looking, he said worriedly: "What does Xicheng mean by that, what do you hope we don't regret?" ”
Now thinking about the young man's sneering eyes, I still feel palpitations.
"I guess it's angry talk," Li Xiuman smiled, and knew that he had taken it for granted, "We can only take one step at a time, but we must not give in to him, lest he gain an inch." ”
"I understand," Kim Young-min sighed, "I've finally come to this point......
"Yes...... Li Xiuman was also full of feelings, "So, we can't let that kid be proud, we must unite." ”
However, the victor didn't take long to be complacent, and in less than a week, the storm struck!
This storm centered on S&M Entertainment and swept the entire entertainment industry, with such intensity that all people involved in the entertainment industry were worried and worried that the end of the world was coming.
On August 9, 2008, the Seoul District Public Prosecutor's Office invited the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, the Performing Artists Association and other relevant coordination departments in the entertainment industry to hold a press conference.
At the meeting, the deputy chief prosecutor of the local procuratorate, on behalf of the supervisory agency, announced that a lawsuit had been filed against six people, including Park Park, deputy minister of SJ Fan Club, Kim Tae-jin and Cho Mi-so, director of TVXQ Fan Club, Choi Yan-ni, vice minister Lee Dong-sang, and unemployed vagrant Lee Won-geun, involving defamation, personal injury, picking quarrels and provoking trouble, fraud, and harming the interests of listed companies.
The main thing is intentional injury, the mastermind Park Jin-sun, that is, the eldest sister of the Lan family, Tong Guò Lee Won-geun hired four gangsters, disguised as Girls' Generation fans, and beat up the audience at the dream concert.
The second is fraud and illegal embezzlement of property, and the five executives of the Red and Blue families who were prosecuted took advantage of their positions to embezzle a total of 367 million won in cash, as well as an unknown amount of other forms of finance.
The last thing that has attracted much attention is defamation, which is reputational damage.
In the past few years, the fan executives led by Park Jin-sun, the minister of the SJ fan club, and Choi Yan-ni, the head of the TVXQ fan club, have mobilized the fans of the clubs they manage, creating a number of anti-incidents, involving many artists in the entertainment industry.
Although South Korea's judicial system is also a civil law system, it is deeply influenced by the United States.
Once a case is filed, even if there is no plaintiff, there will be a prosecutor who will come forward to prosecute the suspect, unless the victim does not pursue it on his own initiative, of course, there will be a prosecutor to defend the criminal, and there is no need to worry about not paying the lawyer's fees.
It stands to reason that among these crimes, the most serious should be the illegal embezzlement of club property, after all, the amount involving hundreds of millions of won can be called shocking.
However, this phenomenon is not uncommon, and it is only because of the large number of fans of the Red and Blue Family that such a large amount has appeared, and the same is true for other fan clubs.
To put it in a very realistic sentence, the management has worked hard, and it is understandable to take some money to treat yourself, but although it is illegal, no one has come out to talk about it before.
Now that the watchdog has resorted to the law, there is no doubt that these fan leaders, who earn millions a year, are involved in economic crimes.
And the media is not most concerned about these, but on defamation.
There are two types of defamation - defamation or insult. Defamation: Intentionally fabricating and disseminating certain fictitious facts, which are sufficient to damage the personality of others and damage the reputation of others, and the circumstances are serious; Insult: The use of violence or other methods to openly degrade the personality of another person, damage the reputation of another person, and the circumstances are serious.
These high-level fans are mainly involved in defamation, and the circumstances are serious, causing the victims and the organization to suffer huge economic losses.
Girls' Generation has fallen from a girl group of wondergirls to the brink of being hidden, with countless albums and merchandise sales lost due to the Black Sea incident, and countless contracts canceled by advertisers, which add up to at least tens of billions of won, not to mention the loss of mental reputation that has to be admitted.
In the absence of government regulation, the media is like a shark that smells fishy, and it all goes crazy. (To be continued......)
