Chapter 765: Quid pro quo
Li Xiuman said: "You mean anyone?" ”
"Well, I'm talking about anyone, I promise that as long as you can nurture my sisters with all your heart, then whoever wants to get their hands on the S.M. company, I will help you stop it, even if it's the Samsung Group." Zhang Chengyuan said loudly.
The tone of his words seems too big, but in fact it is not a boast, with his special ability, there is indeed a way to stop a big consortium like Samsung Group. Of course, when Li Xiuman heard it, he was quite unimpressed, only thinking that he was young and vigorous and had too high a self-esteem, but he didn't refute it, after all, Zhang Chengyuan's achievements surpassed him a lot, and he was not qualified to evaluate Zhang Chengyuan.
At that moment, he said lightly: "I understand your kindness, but I don't want to come to Samsung Group to look down on a small company like me, as long as you really don't have ideas about my company, I am very satisfied, as for other people or other companies, I am not worried." ”
Zhang Chengyuan slightly complimented and said, "With Xiuman's ability, you really don't need to worry about this." As for me, I assure you once again that as long as you are at the helm of S.M. and my sisters continue to be valued by S.M., I will remain the second largest shareholder of S.M. Corporation.
Well, in order to show my sincerity, I am willing to reduce the shares in my hand to 30%, or even 25%, and sell the excess to you, Mr. Xiuman, so that you can consolidate your position as the first shareholder, so you don't need to worry about me so much in the future. In exchange, though, I want you to promise me one condition. "With his character, he will naturally not be a good person for no reason.
Li Xiuman's face was impassive: "What conditions?" "If you can get some shares from Zhang Chengyuan. That's quite tempting, but only if the conditions proposed by Zhang Chengyuan are within the acceptable range of him.
Zhang Chengyuan said: "I am recently preparing to buy C-jes Entertainment and then sign the JYJ group, so please also ask Mr. Xiuman to raise your noble hand, stop worrying about these three children, and let them go." ”
Li Xiuman thought about it, shook his head and said: "I'm afraid that this thing won't work, although I personally can't bear to treat Zaizhong, Youtian and Junxiu like that, after all, although they are at fault, they are just children." But for the good of the company. The company can only use all means to ban them in order to warn its artists. And it's not a decision I made alone, it's a decision of the Council. I'm the president, though. But it's hard to change. ”
Zhang Chengyuan said: "As the boss of a company. I understand why S.M. wants to ban Kim Jae-jung, but it doesn't seem to have worked very well. Although they can't participate in TV shows, they still develop very well in other fields such as TV dramas and musicals, and they are highly praised by Ai Hui Company abroad, which is said to be not inferior to TVXQ at the beginning.
And if it doesn't work, why waste energy on it? Why don't you make a deal with me, so that you can not only consolidate your position, but also stabilize the hearts of the artists and employees of the company, so why not? If S.M. feels that it is difficult to save face, then after I sign JYJ, they will issue an apology. Mr. Xiuman, what do you think? ”
Li Xiuman said: "You are so confident that you can sign them? Also, aren't you worried that they will have a bigger appetite and demand more from you in the future? This kind of thing, but there are two if there is one, and there are three if there are two, and it can't be stopped. ”
Zhang Chengyuan said: "Signing them, for me, is not a difficult thing, although their current agency C-jes Entertainment is said to have an underworld background, but with my means, if you want to cut off the tentacles stretched out by a gangster, you can still do it, not to mention that this company has an underworld background, and it is just an unfounded rumor, which I have already checked, so I don't need to be afraid of anything." ”
Under his covert investigation, he found that C-jes Entertainment was said to be a company with an underworld background, and it seemed to have something to do with S.M. Company, at least they were suspected of contributing to the trouble, but it wasn't aimed at him, so he didn't bother to care. In addition, C-jes Entertainment is so misunderstood, and it cannot be said that it is completely innocent, because it represents that Baek Chang-so does have a criminal record.
Of course, having a criminal record does not mean that Baek Chang-so will not be able to become a law-abiding person in the future, so Jang Sung-won has no prejudice against Baek Chang-so, and even plans to continue to let him take the JYJ group after the acquisition of C-jes Entertainment, because Kim Jae-jung now trusts him quite a lot.
After a pause, Zhang Chengyuan said again: "As for whether Kim Jae-jung and they signed a contract with me after they signed a better contract like before, I'm not too worried, I think they fell out with S.M. Company at the beginning, in addition to being young and vigorous, it was also because the S.M. company gave them too low treatment." Although this is nothing to blame from an investor's point of view, it is ultimately one of the reasons for their break with S.M
My JSW company has always been known for treating its artists well, and artists often make far more money than the company makes, so I will definitely satisfy them with the contract I offer. Moreover, I believe that after this lesson, they must not dare to have too much desire, they should know that my Zhang Chengyuan's energy is not under the S.M. company. ”
Li Xiuman asked with some interest: "What if they really make more excessive demands?" ”
Zhang Chengyuan smiled slightly and said indifferently: "Then I will let them only be a musical actor or an Internet singer or something in China, and other acting paths will no longer work." Of course, they can also choose to develop abroad, so I can't 'take care' of them. Although, it may cost me a lot to do so, but some of the effort is worth it in order to live a few more years of peace of mind. ”
Zhang Chengyuan said this cruel remark, it seems a little inexplicable and too far off topic, after all, he has nothing to do with the JYJ group now, but in fact, he has another intention, it is to show Li Xiuman his courage and ability, so that Li Xiuman knows that he is not easy to mess with, and at the same time, he is also hinting to Li Xiuman, if he does not agree to his request, he can hardly guarantee that he will not do something to make S.M. company uncomfortable.
Li Xiuman's face remained unchanged, and he said calmly: "You are more angry than me, but you are indeed a young man." ”
He naturally heard Zhang Chengyuan's words, but he was not too afraid, he had been in the entertainment industry for so many years, so he naturally had his support, he couldn't compare to Zhang Chengyuan compared to money, and he thought he would not be inferior to Zhang Chengyuan. However, weighing the weight, he felt that there was no need to fight for such a trivial matter, and a young and capable junior like Zhang Chengyuan, because it was really not worth it.
And even if S.M. doesn't remove the ban on the JYJ group, with Jang Sung-won's wealth, I'm afraid there will be a way to get major TV stations and record companies to unblock them. Since this is the case, then it is just a matter of selling Zhang Chengyuan a favor, and he can also buy a part of the shares of S.M. Company in Zhang Chengyuan's hands, and he will not suffer a loss. However, even if he was willing, it was difficult to say what the other directors thought, and he vaguely revealed this meaning at the moment.
Zhang Chengyuan listened and said with a smile: "I won't bother Teacher Xiuman in this regard, I will send someone to talk to them, and I will definitely let them agree." Most of the other directors are wall-to-wall grass, and as long as Li Xiuman does not object, he has a way to get them to agree to lift the ban on JYJ.
"That's good." Li Xiuman smiled, "In addition, I will tell you a piece of news for free, after a while, JYJ's Japanese economic company Ai Hui is ready to completely suspend JYJ's activities in Japan, and then JYJ will inevitably be hit again, so it may be easier for you to acquire C-jes Entertainment, but I don't know if you still want to do this after hearing this news?" ”
Zhang Chengyuan was stunned and said with some surprise: "How could it be like this suddenly, didn't JYJ hold several concerts in Japan two months ago, and he was deeply valued by Ai?" ”
Li Xiuman smiled and said, "I don't know about this." Actually, it's not that he doesn't know, he just doesn't want to tell Zhang Chengyuan.
Zhang Chengyuan thought about it and felt that most of this matter was related to S.M. Company, but since Li Xiuman didn't want to say it, he didn't bother to ask, so he just said: "Even if Ai Hui wants to block JYJ's activities in Japan, it's nothing, I will still sign them, because the reason why I signed them was not for any economic benefit." ”
"Why?" Li Xiuman asked casually.
Zhang Chengyuan said with a smile; "If I say it, I'm afraid that you may not believe Mr. Xiuman, well, in fact, I signed them to make my assistant, uh, the president of my company, Lin Ji-so, happy."
"She admires the JYJ trio?" Li Xiuman then asked.
For Lin Zhixiu, Li Xiuman is still a little curious, after all, this woman has excellent ability, and she is in charge of almost all of Zhang Chengyuan's wealth, and the bosses in the entertainment industry pay attention to her, because they may have to deal with her one day, and Li Xiuman has had many phone contacts with her because Zhang Chengyuan often asks Lin Zhixiu to meddle in some affairs of S.M. Company, and has even met a few times, so he naturally pays more attention to her.
Jang Sung-won said: "It's not, she just wants to sign JYJ to enhance the reputation of JSW's singer department." For this reason, a lot of efforts have been made before, but because I suddenly heard that Baek Changsu has an underworld background some time ago, I was afraid that it would cause unnecessary trouble, so I gave up. I saw that she was a little depressed about this, so I decided to sign JYJ to make her happy. So I don't care how much financial benefit JYJ can bring me, as long as they don't let me lose money. ”
Li Xiuman smiled and said in his heart: "It turned out to please the beauty, it seems that Lin Zhixiu, a woman, has a lot to do with him." However, yes, if it weren't for the extremely close relationship, how could he entrust all his assets to Lin Zhixiu to manage? It's just that it's not necessarily a good thing for a man to be amorous, and I don't know if he will cause any love debts in the future? Well, it's none of my business, and I don't need to bother with it, as long as Sunny's girl doesn't have anything to do with him. (To be continued......)
