"How many people did we have on that flight?"

"There are fourteen members of Girls' Generation and their agents," Kim Young-min said apologetically, "because of your special situation, the representative of Asiana Airlines did not include your list in the company's compensation list, and if you accept this compensation amount, I will instruct the company's legal department to formally request Asiana Airlines." ”

Zhao Yuanxi naturally understood what Kim Yingmin meant when he said that the situation was special, he was Chinese, not Korean.

Zhao Yuanxi said: "President Lao is concerned, and Uncle Xian said that he will deal with the matter of compensation for the air crash. ”

"That's the best." With the strong intervention of Prosecutor General Lee Myung-heon, Kim Young-min was relieved.

"How's the new song about Girls' Generation?" Compared with the air crash compensation, this issue is what Kim Yingmin is most concerned about, and the rise and fall of girlhood is related to his stay and stay, so he can't be cautious.

"Some eyebrows," Zhao Yuanxi said in a deep voice, "Before the new song is completed, I plan to cooperate with Girls' Generation on the stage to help them maintain proper exposure and popularity." ”

"Okay." Kim Young-min is overjoyed, there are more monks in the Korean entertainment industry and less porridge and frequent replacement, fans' memories of Idol are very short, as long as they can maintain the popularity of Girls' Generation, there is hope for a comeback.

After ending Kim Young-min's conversation and returning to his practice room, Zhao Yuanxi dialed Lee Myung-heon's phone, if it weren't for Kim Young-min reminding him that he had almost forgotten about his plane crash, since he learned that there was a strange situation of an unknown shadow in his right brain, his mind was full of history in his lifetime, and the rest of the things were not within his consideration.

The phone was connected, and Zhao Yuanxi adjusted his mood and said: "Uncle Xian, just now President Kim Young-min asked me about the compensation for the air crash and asked me if I was willing to accept the conditions of aviation. ”

Lee Myung-hun said: "What did Kim Young-min say? ”

Zhao Yuanxi relayed the conversation with President Kim Young-min as it was, and Lee Myung-hun snorted coldly after hearing it, and said: "According to the information I have, three seconds before the incident, the speed of the passenger plane was only 103 knots, far lower than the normal speed of 137 knots. The plane descended too low at an altitude and at too slow speed. Pilots have only received 43 hours of short training. The data obtained so far does point to the pilot's misconduct. Asiana Airlines must bear the vast majority of the blame, and this move is a clear cover-up to shirk responsibility. You warned Kim Young-min not to accept Asiana Airlines' compensation offer. ”

"I know."

If it is not necessary, usually profit-oriented companies are reluctant to get involved in protracted lawsuits, especially if the other party is an airline with deep pockets and its own entertainment brokerage company, and I heard that Prosecutor General Lee Myung-hyun is supporting him, it is naturally a sure victory, which can not only win the hearts of its artists but also promote the company's people-oriented spirit of caring for artists, why not.

Without hesitation, Kim Young-min dialed the legal department and gave an order to appeal.

Kim Young-min, who came from the academy, is also a vigorous and resolute character, and the foreign-related departments are controlled by him, and the Asiana Airlines air crash incident has been concerned by public opinion, S.M suddenly attacked, and contacted the three major TV stations to break the news that Asiana Airlines had the main responsibility that cannot be shirked in the air crash, and released relevant data and information, and for a time Asiana Airlines was once again pushed to the forefront.

S.M Company opened fire on all cylinders, violently bombarded Hana Airlines, which had great potential safety risks due to its negligence in managing flights, and declared that it would resolutely defend the legitimate rights and interests of the company's artists and decided to sue Asiana Airlines.

It not only creates a positive image of S.M's courage to defend the rights and interests of its artists, but also puts Girls' Generation in the position of victims to achieve the effect of publicity.

Kill two birds with one stone.

There were commercial performances in Girls' Generation for several days in a row, and the performance location was not in Seoul, and it almost didn't appear in the company's practice room.

It is common for Idol to attend various commercial performances as an Idol, and it is called a "hole" in China, and the appearance fee varies according to the artist's fame, which is a faster way to make money, but the artist is more hard. As the largest entertainment agency in South Korea, S.M has the largest number of trainees in Korea, and these trainees cannot bring revenue to the company before their debut, and the company needs to invest funds in the early stage, and the cost of trainees alone is not affordable by ordinary entertainment agencies.

Entertainment companies have invested a lot of money and time in trainees, and once trainees are allowed to become Idol debuts, they will inevitably recoup their investment tenfold and hundredfold, which is the law of capital.

For Girls' Generation, the hectic schedule is reassuring, and the exhaustion of running every day is far more exciting than the boring stay in the dormitory waiting for the agent's brother to announce it or practicing in the practice room day after day.

Idol exists only for fans and the stage. This is S.M's philosophy from the top down.

Zhao Yuanxi scoffed at this idea, and all he cared about was fame. Zhao Yuanxi did not debut as a trainee, and he did not know the hardships of being a trainee, S.M did not invest in him in the early stage, and he did not have any feelings and sense of belonging to S.M. He joined S.M in the hope of growing into a superstar with the biggest entertainment giant in South Korea, and S.M got his fair share of the proceeds in the process.

Zhao Yuanxi's training schedule is also full, Yu Yongzhen's vocal music courses, Shen Zaiyuan's dance courses, as well as physical training and various physical exercises, and the daily schedule is not over until half past ten in the evening. He needs to seize all the time to enrich himself, and there is not enough time.

Under the pressure of public opinion, Asiana Airlines and S.M Entertainment Agency reached an out-of-court settlement, and the compensation for 15 employees of S.M, including Cho Won-hee, was increased from 250 million to 830 million won.

Accept it when it is good, Kim Yingmin's goal has been successfully achieved, and he does not want the company to fall into a senseless lawsuit, the important thing is that Zhao Yuanxi is satisfied with the result, and Zhao Yuanxi is satisfied with it, which naturally means that Lee Myung-hun is satisfied. Lee Myung-heon's satisfaction is really satisfied.

After receiving Asiana Airlines' compensation of 830 million, Zhao Yuanxi was very flat, he was not short of money, and his consumption habits did not need a lot of money support.

With the compensation of 830 million yuan plus the previous signing fee of 350 million, Zhao Yuanxi holds a total of 1.18 billion won, equivalent to about 6.7 million yuan, which is not a small amount.

As a large-scale public fund manager who graduated from the finance major, Zhao Yuanxi naturally can't let this fund lie in the bank and depreciate quietly, he needs investment channels.

"Uncle Song, which is the largest securities company in South Korea?" Between training breaks, Zhao Yuanxi dialed Song Ki-beom's phone.

"It's Samsung Securities."

"Oh, is Samsung still in the financial industry?" Zhao Yuanxi's impression of Samsung is that it is a brand engaged in the production and sales of electronic products, and it is the first time he has heard that Samsung is involved in the financial industry.

"Samsung does everything except agriculture."

"Then it's troublesome for Uncle Song to take me to Samsung Securities."

Song Jifan didn't ask much, and soon returned to the company and drove Zhao Yuanxi to the nearest Samsung Securities business department.

Zhao Yuanxi has a special position in the S.M company, the company will not forcibly arrange his itinerary, and the relevant itinerary will consult Zhao Yuanxi's own wishes in advance, if he is not satisfied with the itinerary and then make adjustments, it can be said that it is very accommodating to Zhao Yuanxi's will, and the entire S.M company can not find a second person similar to Zhao Yuanxi's special case.

When there is no itinerary, Song Ki-beom is more like Zhao Yuanxi's assistant than an agent.

Opening a securities account in South Korea is no different from that in China, and under the guidance of Song Jifan, Zhao Yuanxi quickly completed the whole process.

On the way back to S.M., Song Ki-beom asked, "Are you planning to enter the stock market?" ”

Zhao Yuanxi nodded and said: "I have this plan, Uncle Song, you know that I recently received compensation from Asiana Airlines, and this money is better to invest in the stock market to increase its value than to idle it in the bank and let it depreciate." ”

"It's good for young people to have investment and financial plans, but the South Korean economy has been sluggish recently, so you have to be cautious when it comes to investment." Song Ki-beom admonished.

"Thank you Uncle Song for reminding me, if I want to buy stocks, of course I will give priority to S.M Company."

"That's fine."
