Chapter 511: Core

After two days of recuperation in the villa, when Li Xiuman flew back from the United States, Zhao Yuanxi left for the headquarters of S.M Company to attend the executive council meeting.

For the first time since 2009, five people representing S.M's highest authority gathered in the top floor of S.M.

Li Xiuman, Kim Yingmin and two executive directors successively expressed their condolences to Zhao Yuanxi, who played an immeasurable role in the entire company, and both politics and economics were appropriate. Since he joined the company, S.M's stock price has soared, and he has become the leader of the music industry, and it can be expected that he will grow into an entertainment empire like CJ over time.

The operation of the company is that Lee so-man is in charge of the training of its artists and the production of albums, Kim Young-min is in charge of the company's operation and market development, and Zhao Yuanxi is in charge of the company's money bag, mainly responsible for the company's capital operation, including acquisitions, mergers and acquisitions and various investments.

It is not an exaggeration to say that Zhao Yuanxi is the grand engineer of the entire S.M.

This meeting was proposed by Zhao Yuanxi, and the four of them did not know Zhao Yuanxi's plan.

Zhao Yuanxi hunched his waist slightly, the injury on his back had not healed yet, and there was still some pain in his straight back.

"Actually, I have three plans to discuss with you," Zhao Yuanxi said unhurriedly, "The first point is about S.MCC Film and Television Production Company, after half a year of preparation and development, the Film and Television Production Company has begun to operate normally. In the future, we will continue to invest in S.MCC. ”

"The second point is about the creation of SMAmusement Gaming & Entertainment. Game development and operation is a leading industry supported by the Korean government, and there is a bright market prospect, and I think the time is ripe for us at S.M to enter the game industry. ”

"The third point is about the joint venture between our S.M company and China Huayi Brothers Entertainment Company to jointly expand the Chinese market."

Of the three topics mentioned by Zhao Yuanxi, there is basically no problem with the first topic, and all four people present agree with it. The second issue is not a big problem, although S.M is not a professional game company, and it can be acquired if it doesn't know how to do it, anyway, it has money and capital now.

The third topic is the one that all four of you are interested in. There is not a Korean company that does not want to open the Chinese market. The annual trade volume of hundreds of billions of dollars between China and South Korea has made countless South Korean companies a lot of money, and seizing the huge Chinese market means being invincible in South Korea.

Li Xiuman pushed his glasses and asked in a deep voice: "Regarding the matter of creating a joint venture company with China Huayi Brothers, does Executive Director Zhao have a comprehensive plan?" ”

"The overall plan is not yet available," Zhao Yuanxi spread his hands very chicly. "But I don't think it's very difficult to reach an agreement with the other side. As far as I know, Huayi Brothers is actively seeking a boss. The creation of a joint venture is an important weight and a big plus for them to go public, and I don't think they will turn us down. ”

Jin Yingmin asked: "Zhao Changchang has been in contact with Huayi Brothers?" ”

Zhao Yuanxi said leisurely: "Not only have I been in contact with it, but I also have a certain understanding of the company." Because I am the third largest shareholder of Huayi Brothers. ”

Zhao Yuanxi said this. The four people present were all happy. With Zhao Yuanxi taking the lead and building bridges on both sides, it will be much easier.

Li Xiuman restrained his smile and asked, "I don't know what Executive Zhao's initial idea is?" ”

"Very simply, Huayi Brothers is a leader in Chinese film production, and is not strong in the field of television production and music, while we S.M are the leaders in the Korean music industry, and the cooperation between them is complementary. As you all know, the Korean market is too small and there are too many competitors, while the Chinese market is very, very big but there are not many competitors, we and Huayi Brothers are joining forces, Huayi Brothers is responsible for developing the market, and we S.M are responsible for providing perfect streamlined artist training, whether it is South Korea or China, we can become industry leaders. ”

Zhao Yuanxi made a final decision, and the four directors present nodded in agreement.

The next day, Zhao Yuanxi and the Wang brothers, who were at the helm of Huayi Brothers, had preliminary discussions and then set off for China with Li Xiuman.

As Zhao Yuanxi expected, the Huayi brothers were very interested in joining forces with S.M., and with Zhao Yuanxi, an intermediary with a strong background and strong financial strength in both China and South Korea, the talks went very smoothly and a preliminary agreement was reached on the same day.

After the closed-door meeting the next day, Huayi Brothers and S.M Company jointly held a press conference, announcing that the two companies would jointly invest in the establishment of a multinational joint venture company, with Huayi Brothers and S.M each holding 45 percent of the company's shares, and the remaining 10 percent being held by Zhao Yuanxi.

As the major shareholder of the two companies, Zhao Yuanxi is also the link between the joint venture companies, and he is the CEO of the joint venture company.

In less than five minutes after the press conference, S.M's stock price rose by nearly 9 percent, breaking the 20,000 mark in one fell swoop, indicating that investors are strongly optimistic about S.M's entry into the Chinese market.

S.M's share price soared 20-fold from less than 1,000 won per share to 20,000 won per share, and investors who held S.M's shares made a lot of money, and the major shareholders of the board of directors were smiling.

Making money is the last word, and Zhao Yuanxi has firmly established his core leadership position in S.M Company with sharp capital operation and generous capital returns.

S.M Company is now Zhao Yuanxi, who has the final say, and the Chinese are the masters of the country.

After hurriedly ending the domestic negotiations, Zhao Yuanxi flew to Macao to continue filming "Boys Over Flowers".

In order to render the family history and wealth of Koo Joon-pyo, the crew deliberately chose the Venice Resort Macao as the home of Koo Joon-pyo, the head of F4.

Built by the Las Vegas Sands Corporation of the United States with an investment of about 20 billion yuan, the Venetian Macao Resort has world-class facilities even more than Las Vegas, covering an area of 110,000 square meters of convention and exhibition space more than twice the size of the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Center.

The Venetian Resort is themed after Venice, Italy's water capital, and is surrounded by Venetian arched bridges, stone pavements and small canals.

Zhao Yuanxi couldn't help but sigh that KBS TV really made a bloody investment this time. No matter how popular such a luxurious and romantic idol drama is, he will buy a piece of tofu and die of it.

Filming in Macau was more like a vacation than work, and Zhao Yuanxi enjoyed a rare leisurely time for three days and two nights, taking a few photos of the luxury facilities of the Venetian resort from time to time and passing them on to the girls of Girls' Generation, which attracted the envy of a group of girls.

"I want to go there for a vacation too." This is Kwon Yoo-li's reply, since Zhao Yuanxi made a wish to her, she often thinks of blue sky and white clouds, beach and waves, romantic and beautiful vacation scenes, and she can't help but laugh out loud every time she thinks about it.

"Two plus one?"

"yes, you're squeezing you into a sandwich in the middle."

Zhao Yuanxi made a sad and innocent expression, which made Quan Yuli laugh.

After filming the scenes in Macau, Zhao Yuanxi returned to South Korea with the crew to shoot the school scenes, and the focus of "Boys Over Flowers" has always been around the school.

On this day, after filming his own scene, Zhao Yuanxi sat on a simple canvas recliner to rest. By the way, I watched the filming of the heroine Goo Hye-sun.

Zhang Ziyan, dressed in black and colored stockings, walked over as a student in the play. Respectfully saluted Zhao Yuanxi, Zhao Yuanxi casually chatted with Zhang Ziyan, there are not many rivalry scenes between them, that is, in the first few episodes, Gu Junbiao played by him angrily reprimanded the three of "truth, goodness and beauty". Then Zhang Ziyan played opposite the heroine Gu Hye-sun.

Twelve episodes were filmed. Zhang Ziyan's scenes are all over. Today is her last day in the crew, and after hesitating for a while, Zhang Ziyan plucked up the courage to say tentatively: "President Zhao, my acting contract expires in March. I would like to be able to sign a contract with President Zhao's S.MCC company, and I would like to ask President Zhao to give me a chance. ”

Zhao Yuanxi looked back at Zhang Ziyan, smiled and nodded in agreement, "Of course it's no problem." ”

"Thank you, President Zhao." Zhang Ziyan thanked excitedly.

Zhao Yuanxi smiled and waved his hand, S.MCC Film and Television Company has just been established, and it is the development period that needs to vigorously sign entertainers, regardless of fame, Han Jiaren He also recruited artists like Zhang Ziyan who are not first-line artists, and he also took them in, not to mention buying horse bones, what he wants is a posture of recruiting talents.

After the day's shooting, Zhao Yuanxi rushed back to the villa non-stop, and for several days he either signed a contract in Beijing or filmed in Macau.

Kim In-wook followed Zhao Yuanxi's instructions and drastically cut the itinerary of Girls' Generation, so that a group of girls returned to the work state in the second half of 2008, which was not tense but a little busy, which made the girls very happy.

The girls of Girls' Generation only visited Zhao Yuanxi in the hospital on the day he was admitted to the hospital, and he did not come to the hospital after he was discharged.

Before returning to the villa and taking two sips of soup, Zhao Yuanxi received a call from Lee Hyo-ri and invited him to go out for a drink together, "The Birth of the Family" had just finished filming that day, and at this moment Lee Hyo-ri, Yoo Jae-seok and Kim Jong-kook were together.

Zhao Yuanxi sighed, and let people not enjoy some Qingfu and Yanfu.

Jessica was also very dissatisfied, and finally saw her beloved boyfriend, and was about to go out before she could say a word, pouting and unhappy.

"Okay, don't be unhappy, I'll take you to see Sister Xiaoli, Brother Zai Shi and Brother Zhong Guo." Zhao Yuanxi patted Jessica's bouncy little ass and said with a smile.

"Why are we going to see them?"

"Don't you want to go to the birth of the family?"

Kwon Yoo-ri is eager to try, but Jessica is not interested, and she is really a little scared when she thinks that Zhao Yuanxi and Kwon Yoo-ri are going to leave her alone in the villa.

When Lee Hyori and the others returned to Seoul from the suburbs, they learned that Cho Won-hee was at Samseong-dong Villa and made an appointment to meet at a barbecue restaurant in Samseong-dong.

Zhao Yuanxi, Kwon Yoo-ri and Jessica waited while eating, and waited for about 20 minutes before Lee Hyo-ri and the three were late.

Lee Hyori and the three of them are all light sportswear, and when they participated in the recording of the program "The Birth of a Family", they really had to go to the farm to do farm work, and no matter how good they were, they were blind, so everyone was in easy and simple sportswear.

Kwon Yoo-ri and Jessica got up and saluted with Cho Won-hee, and they took care of Yoo Jae-seok in the variety show and had a good impression of the national MC who took care of the younger generations.

Lee Hyo-ri and the three were not surprised that Cho Won-hee had dinner with Kwon Yoo-ri and Jessica, everyone knew that they were from the same company, and Cho Won-hee's preference for girlhood was known throughout Korea.

Li Xiaoli and the three of them sat down and didn't talk about business first, they just ate meat, they were hungry.

After eating for a while, Li Xiaoli began to drink, Liu Zaishi rarely drank, and couldn't stand the persuasion of Li Xiaoli, Kim Jong Kook and Zhao Yuanxi, so he had to pick up the wine glass and drink with him.

Putting down the wine glass, Zhao Yuanxi pointed at Quan Yuli and Jessica and said with a smile: "Yuli and Sika like the show of the birth of the family very much, and have always wanted to play, I heard that I made an appointment with Sister Xiaoli, Brother Zai Shi and Brother Zhong Guo, and begged me to bring them." ”

Li Xiaoli smiled: "What's the matter, let's just talk to the program team." ”

Yoo Jae-seok smiled and nodded, from the first issue of the birth of the family, the members of the mythical group were invited as guests, and many artists of S.M's company have also been to the show, such as TVXQ and SJ, and even Taeyeon and Yoona of Girls' Generation have also starred, and it couldn't be easier to arrange Kwon Yoo-ri and Jessica.

"Thank you in Stone Oppa."

"I'm going to be angry if you thank him and not me." Lee Hyo-ri said jokingly with the corners of his mouth curled.

"Thank you Hyo-ri Unnie."

Lee Hyo-ri and Cho Won-hee had a drink, Kwon Yoo-ri obediently poured it for the two of them, and the youngest person in the banquet was busy pouring wine, which is the Korean drinking etiquette.

"Yuanxi, this time I asked you to meet not only for the closed-end fund, but also for Brother Shi's matter, I want to ask you for help."

"Is there any trouble in Brother Shi?"

"Here's how it ......" Li Xiaoli took care of Yoo Jae-seok's face and knew that it was inconvenient for him to speak, so she explained the cause and effect to Zhao Yuanxi.

Liu Zaishi's newlywed wife Luo Jingen and Shen Dongye's wife are good best friends, and under the persuasion of his wife, Liu Zaishi also joined the brokerage company founded by Shen Dongye himself, but the brokerage company and the TV station owed Liu Zaishi's salary for three consecutive months, which made Liu Zaishi very embarrassed, and it was not easy to tear his face with Shen Dongye, so he wanted to ask Zhao Yuanxi to help solve it.

"Brother Shi said that there is a company that buys your brokerage company, right?"

Liu Zaishi nodded and said, "Yes, I don't know exactly which company it is, I know that Dongye intends to change hands." Speaking of this, Liu Zaishi sighed, he agreed to join his company because of Shen Dongye's affection, but he didn't expect this guy to sell himself in a blink of an eye, and he didn't care about the arrears of salary, which was really nerve-wracking.

"This matter is on me, and I promise to satisfy Brother Zaishi." Zhao Yuanxi patted his chest and said loudly.

Zhao Yuanxi not only wants to pull Yoo Jae-seok into his S.MCC company, but also buys his current brokerage company and signs it together with Shin Dongye. Although Shen Dongye is not authentic, he still has enough influence as a national MC, so signing Yoo Jae-seok and Shin Dong-yeol is equivalent to mastering a huge network, which is of great benefit to the development of S.M Company.

As for the salary owed by the TV station to Liu Zaishi, it is not worth mentioning at all, even if it is out of his own pocket to compensate Liu Zaishi.

Zhao Yuanxi sorted out the context in a moment, raised his glass and toasted Liu Zaishi.

"Cheers." (To be continued......)
