Lee so-man's office is on the seventh floor, and his position is obviously extremely high in DK, a company where power is determined by the 'number of layers'.

In the DK Entertainment system, his position is second only to Li Min and Cui Bing, and these two often don't have time to care about DK Entertainment, so in essence, Li Xiuman is already the first person in DK Entertainment.

But even so, he didn't have the power to influence Girlhood. The Girls' Generation Planning Office established by Li Min has separated Girls' Generation from other artists in the company. Now everyone in Girls' Generation has a personal agent, and everyone has a driver when necessary. All the resources of the company, all of which are given priority to them, are completely on demand.

An idol group, two solo solos, two people have a solo show, is this like words? Li Xiuman has heard many artists complain in private, saying that the company has invested more resources in Girls' Generation than everyone else combined, and that Girls' Generation can generate less than half of these investments.

But no one can do anything, because the company belongs to Li Min. And I heard from the people in the finance department that the funds invested in the Girls' Generation Planning Office were Li Min's personal money, and they didn't go through the company's accounts at all, which made it even more difficult for people who wanted to say anything. But these people do not include Li Xiuman, Girls' Generation is a group he established, and he has always looked at girls from a top-down perspective.

The absolute control of artists has been the label of S.M for many years. Although the situation of Girls' Generation is a little different, this is not enough to be a factor that Li Xiuman cares about. In the bottom of my heart. He still treats Girls' Generation as a commodity, a commodity whose ownership is DK Entertainment, as long as it is for the sake of the overall situation of the company, there is no pity to sacrifice it. And Li Xiuman knows more about the relationship between Li Min and Girls' Generation than others, and privately thinks that the role of Girls' Generation for Li Min is actually not their group, as long as people are still there, they will not cross Li Min's bottom line.

Worried, Taeyeon knocks on the door of Lee so-man's office, and while she is at the door, she calls Jessica. That's what Jessica meant when she shook her phone just now. She was not at ease and wanted to hear what Li Xiuman said.

Lee so-man came to open the door in person, which flattered Taeyeon a little. At S.M, she had never been treated like this. secretly glanced at Li Xiuman's expression. The small eyes, hidden behind the glasses, have narrowed into a line. It's not like it's going to curse. Taeyeon's heart gradually let go of it a little. At Li Xiuman's signal, he sat halfway next to the chair.

"Teacher, what is the matter with you coming to me? Isn't there something I've been doing badly lately? You said, I'll try to correct it. Taeyeon lowered her head slightly, and her eyes didn't dare to make contact with Lee so-man. This is the standard posture of S.M artists entering Li Xiuman's office, and after the research of the seniors, as long as they do this, they will be scolded lightly, because the attitude seems to be very sincere.

"What do you mean by that, you're the captain I recommend so much, if I think you're not doing well, might I recommend you? Don't worry, I didn't come to you this time to criticize you, but I wanted to discuss something with you. Let me state first, it's just a discussion, there is absolutely no coercion, you can think about it carefully, and then tell me your opinion, no matter what the outcome, I will not blame you. Li Xiuman said with some unanswerable questions.

Taeyeon was a little puzzled when she heard Lee so-man mention his recommendation to be the captain of Girls' Generation. But when I heard the latter words, I understood that it was no longer S.M, even Li Xiuman couldn't force her to do things, and he mentioned his previous kindness just to repay her kindness, so that she couldn't say anything to refuse. Thinking about this, Taeyeon is relieved. You can't use any kindness every time, as long as you agree this time, it will end here, Taeyeon thought for a while, nodded, and said, "Teacher, you can say anything." ”

The corners of Li Xiuman's mouth curled into a hint of triumphant smile, but he couldn't tell the matter directly, he had to let Taeyeon do it voluntarily, otherwise he wouldn't be able to explain in front of Li Min. Lee so-man has been dealing with idols for decades, and Taeyeon's every expression is under his control, in fact, the reason why he chose Taeyeon to be the captain of Girls' Generation is because she is easy to control, because she has a fatal weakness in her personality.

"I want you to give up on the music center tonight." After Lee so-man finished speaking, he kept looking at Taeyeon's expression. After a pause, he continued: "I know what you think this is for, because you are the captain of Girls' Generation, so I will tell you these things, I hope you can keep it a secret." ”

Taeyeon nodded blankly, seeing that Lee so-man's expression was so serious, she also thought that something really big had happened.

Li Xiuman opened the drawer and took out a prepared report, which is DK Entertainment's income and expenditure financial report last month, but it is not a real version, but it is not a fake, but the Girls' Generation, which has been stripped out, is also counted as one of the financial reports.

"This is the company's accounting income and expenditure last month, if you can't understand it, just look at the most lull directly." Lee so-man handed the report to Taeyeon and pointed to the last paragraph with his hand, Taeyeon's gaze followed the direction of his finger, and the huge numbers marked in bold red letters were extraordinarily eye-catching.

"This ......" Taeyeon didn't expect the company's situation to be so bad at all, in her consciousness, DK Entertainment is thriving now, how can it be that it is a deficit every month, and the amount is so huge. She subconsciously looked up, her eyes stopped in one place, and the business related to Girls' Generation, 70% of it was a deficit, compared to other groups, only a few reds were sporadically, and the overall was basically a surplus. Taeyeon silently read this form, feeling very uncomfortable, she didn't expect that under the premise that everyone was making money for the company, Girls' Generation would turn the company's financial situation into a deficit by herself, she raised her head and looked at Li Xiuman, her eyes were full of puzzlement.

"You may be thinking, everyone is working hard for what is going on, but the result is losing money, and you can't figure out what this is for, right?" Li Xiuman really seemed to be a teacher who solved doubts at this time, and said in a gentle tone. Seeing Taeyeon nodding, he continued, "Although the reason is a bit harsh, but you are the captain of Girls' Generation, I think I still need to tell you." It's just that you can listen to these words. Don't tell anyone about it, it will affect the motivation of the members. ”

"Well, I'll keep it a secret." Taeyeon nodded and said, she no longer doubted Li Xiuman's intentions, she was just anxious to know what Lu Dao was for.

"Let's take a look at this table, skip the rest of the guys, and just look at Girls' Generation. If you look closely, where is the deficit part? Where is the largest amount. Lee so-man didn't directly say what the problem was, this is his treacherousness, so that what Taeyeon learned was what she saw herself, and she unknowingly fell into the trap.

"It's... Solo and the new show..."Taeyeon looked at it thoughtfully.

"I think you've figured out that you're taking up too many resources for an idol group, and that's something you can't afford right now. Think about your predecessors, what did they get at your stage? Is it because they are not as capable as you? Why are there companies that don't invest in them? Don't companies want to make money? It's not like that, it's because they can't afford it yet. Sometimes, people always think too high of themselves and feel that they have reached a certain level, but in fact, on the contrary, if they do not reach that level, they insist on doing that level, and this is the result. Lee so-man's tone was slightly aggravated, he couldn't give Taeyeon time to figure it out, and when she began to doubt, she would increase her imagination, so that it would have the effect of getting twice the result with half the effort.

Taeyeon believed it, and was speechless. She has completely entered the trajectory expected by Li Xiuman, thinking that her girlhood was because of Li Min, and she got resources that did not match her, which led to all these wastes. Taeyeon feels sorry, she knows that this company belongs to Lee Min, and all the resources they waste are actually Lee Min's money. Now there is no need for Lee so-man to say, Taeyeon already wants to stop doing it. Although what has been done cannot be undone, if it can be wasted a little, it will be more or less useful. Jessica on the other end of the phone had similar thoughts, but she vaguely felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't say what was wrong.

"Now that SJ is coming back, tonight's music center is basically you and them fighting for this place. That's the reason why I came to you instead of Jessica, if you can take the initiative to let this one out, then SJ will get the first week, and the second place is also ours, so the impact on the next three weeks is huge, I know that you will be back next week, but it doesn't matter, SJ is the first week, Girls' Generation is the first week, for the company, it's all good. SJ's current situation doesn't need me to say more, you should also understand that this one is very important to them, and their potential consumer audience is much larger than yours personally, records, announcements, variety shows, endorsements, all activities can make profits for the company. You're the captain of Girls' Generation, I think you can tell which side has more interests, I already said at the beginning, how to choose is up to you, after all, I can't control the affairs of Girls' Generation, but I hope you can seriously think about my advice.
