Seeing Xiao Jing's worried look, Zhang Chengyuan was no longer in the mood to joke, touched her head and said: "Crystal, don't worry, no matter whether I have a foreign trip next year, I will definitely attend your high school graduation ceremony and college entrance ceremony, at least I will choose one of the two." ”

"Really?" Little Crystal was overjoyed.

"Really! I promise you. ”

"No guarantee, of course I believe your words. Brother, there's something I want to tell you. ”

"You say, uh, wait, we'll be at the restaurant soon, let's go back and talk when we get in."

"Okay, let's talk while we eat."

After a while, they entered the VIP room of the restaurant, and immediately ordered food, and the two continued to talk.

"Crystal, what did you just want to say, go on."

"Brother, our company recently decided to sell 1 billion won of shares to its artists, and we sisters don't know what to do, I want to ask you."

Zhang Chengyuan was slightly stunned, and said with some doubts: "Why did your company do such a thing inexplicably?" Oh, I see, it's to do façade work, improve the recognition of your company from the outside world, improve the image of your company, and at the same time want to win people's hearts and deepen the sense of identity of its artists with the company, so as to play the emotional card when renewing the contract.

Well, these shares should be sold to your company's more popular singers or singer groups, in other words, singers who can make a lot of money. ”

"Brother, you guessed right, these shares are sold to An Qixuan's seniors, Bao'er seniors, TVXQ, SuperJunior, Girls' Generation, Shinee and us f(x), well, as well as the two sisters Yunxi and Yara."

"Yun Xi and Yara are also on this list. I was a little surprised. It seems that your company really values them. However, the shares of 1 billion won are nearly 30 shares. How much can each person get? An average of more than 30 million won? It seems to be a lot, but if you calculate it in terms of thousandths, the total market value of S.M. is about 500 billion, and 1 billion is about two thousandths, and then divided into 30 parts, so it is really pitifully low.

So Crystal, you don't bother with these things, and don't be grateful for this move by the company. In fact, they have no sincerity. If you are really sincere, if you are given a little more in terms of your contract share, it will definitely be far more than this 1 billion. Well, in fact, the net profit that your group made for S.M. last year was more than that, although you have only been debuting for a few years. ”

"The five of us can make a net profit of 1 billion won a year, brother, what you said is true, right?"

"Nothing more, no less, and the portion that you should have taken is removed."

"But we got it to everyone at the beginning of the year. It's less than 100 million won, and it's not quite in its hands yet. It's been counted as a fee, uh, it's a big loss! ”

"That's why I said that your company is not sincere."

"Shall we subscribe for these shares?"

"If you want to make a little money, then buy it, and you should be able to make 2-3 times as much money after a few years." In recent years, with the strong rise of various groups such as Girls' Generation and SuperJunior, the stock value of S.M. has also risen rapidly.

"2-3 times? It's really a lot, so I'll persuade my sisters to buy it together, and then sell it to you after a few years, so that you can make money, and how much can help you a little bit, it seems to be pretty good, but with our combined qualifications within the company, I'm afraid that if we can't share many shares, then we won't make any money. ”

Zhang Chengyuan said with a smile: "With my brother raising you, do you still need to think about making money?" ”

"Yes, but if I can make more money, I will be happy."

"If you want to make more money, it's better to take some money out and let my doppelganger Xiao Yuan help you invest, so that you can earn more."

"But it's not interesting in this way, it's no different from you sending me money, so it's better to ask you for money directly."

"That's right."

After a deep sigh, Zhang Chengyuan said: "Crystal, you told me this news, reminding me of something. ”

"What's the matter?"

"It's about your group and Taeyeon renewing their contract with S.M., if S.M. wants to renew your contract, don't agree lightly."

"We still have a few years left on our contract, and the company won't ask us to renew it so early, but brother, does that mean you want to sign us?"

"Of course, if I want to take better care of and protect you, I have to have your brokerage contract, so that I can arrange your itinerary more conveniently, so that you don't get too tired, but my JSW Entertainment Company's current star-making ability is still a little inferior to S.M. Company, so I won't sign you for the time being, but you can't renew your contract, at least not for too long, otherwise it will be much more troublesome for me to sign you in the future."

Xiao Jing said: "Brother, you have so much money, why don't you just buy our company, isn't it much easier?" ”

Zhang Chengyuan said: "I have thought about buying S.M. before, but I have two concerns, one is that Mr. Li Xiuman is Sunny's uncle after all, and I don't want to be angry with him, so as not to make it difficult for Sunny."

Second, the senior management of your company, especially those very talented planners, music directors, composers, and your company's contacts abroad, etc., all have a good relationship with Mr. Li Xiuman or have a great relationship, if I oust him from power, I don't know how much turmoil it will cause to your company, maybe some of these people will follow Mr. Li Xiuman to leave the S.M. company, and then set up another brokerage company, so that I have acquired the S.M. company, and the gains outweigh the losses. ”

"I don't think it's very likely, brother, I don't think the people you said are really loyal to Teacher Li Xiuman, to put it bluntly, everyone works for Teacher Li Xiuman or the company just for money, so whoever can make them earn more money, they should support whoever they want.

Although Mr. Li Xiuman is very capable and has made the company grow and develop rapidly over the years, your ability is obviously much greater, brother. Also richer and more generous. That is to say, you will get more benefits by following you. Who doesn't know that JSW's salaries are much higher than other entertainment companies, both as artists and as employees, so why do they want to follow Mr. Lee so Man instead of you?

Moreover, even if Mr. Li Xiuman loses control of the company, he should not leave the S.M. company, unless you kick him out, but you will definitely not do it, and even still entrust him with important responsibilities, in addition. He's 61 years old this year, and he probably doesn't have much ambition to start a new economic company again. ”

Zhang Chengyuan smiled and said, "Crystal, it seems that you have grown a lot recently, and you are the first to analyze it." ”

"Brother, do you think I have a point?" Little Crystal said happily.

"Well, that makes sense. However, events often do not develop exactly as predicted. You think he's too old to have the idea of starting a new company, well, I think so too. But that's just what we think, maybe he's old and strong.

Even if he really didn't have that in mind. But people are very strange creatures, and maybe a small stimulus will make him change his mind, so I can't take this risk, after all, I have a better choice. As long as I wait a few more years, when Mr. Li Xiuman is not energetic or tired of the company's affairs and does not want to worry too much, he will be willing to give me control of the company, after all, there is a relationship with Sunny, and it is in his best interest for me to take over the S.M. company. ”

"But he's only 61 years old, maybe he won't be willing to give up power in another ten years?"

"Then I'll wait for him for another ten years, anyway, I can afford to wait, besides, even if I don't get the control of the S.M. company, I don't dare to fight with me, so I can still protect you, it's just a little inconvenient."

"That's just as well. Well, let's not talk about that, brother, I have something I want you to help with. ”

"What's the matter?"

"It's a bit ...... Well, what do you say, brother, after I say it, you have to keep it a secret for me, and don't tell anyone else. ”

"If you say that, I'm a little better, but don't worry, I won't sue anyone, not even Sister Youli."

"That's good. Brother, Shirley seems to have fallen in love with someone lately. ”

"That doesn't seem like anything to be surprised about, does it?" Zhang Chengyuan said with some doubts, "Shirley is the same age as you, and she is 19 years old this year, so is it normal to like a handsome guy?" ”

Xiao Jing's eyes lit up and asked, "Brother, do you say that, does it mean that I can also like people and fall in love?" ”

"What are you anxious about?" Zhang Chengyuan hurriedly said, "She is her, you are you, you are my sister, you have to follow the rules I set, and you can only consider this matter when you are an adult." If he replied yes at this time, I was afraid that Xiao Jing would immediately pester him and say that he wanted to be his girlfriend, so he hurriedly changed his words.

Xiao Jing was disappointed and said: "Brother, every time you are like this, you always treat me as a child and refuse to accept me." ”

"Crystal, can you please stop talking about this, uh, let's get down to business."

"Well, let's get down to business. Brother, I want you to help me find out who Shirley likes. ”

"Investigating Shirley? Isn't it good for you to do this, Crystal? Zhang Chengyuan frowned and said, "Why did you ask me to investigate her?" ”

Xiao Jing said: "Brother, I also know that this is not good, but I am worried that Shirley has been deceived." ”

"Why do you say that?"

"Because I feel that the person she likes may be an uncle who is three years older than you."

"Three years older than me? Doesn't that mean 14 years older than Shirley? What an uncle! But Crystal, are you mistaken? It's weird enough that you like me, an 11-year-old brother who is older than you, Shirley would actually like her 14-year-old man? You both don't seem to lack fatherly love, huh? ”

"Brother, what are you talking nonsense, what does this have to do with the lack of father's love? At least I like you and it has absolutely nothing to do with it, if you want to say that you are lacking, it is also a lack of brother's love, so when I saw you twelve years ago, I wanted to be close to you, and that's why I gradually fell in love with you. ”

"You little girl know what love is? Don't talk about this, well, Crystal, I agreed to your request, I will let my doppelganger secretly investigate this matter, and I will sue you if there is a result, but if your suspicions are true, what do you want to do? ”

Xiao Crystal thought for a moment and said, "I haven't thought about this yet, uh, let's talk about it then." (To be continued......)
