Chapter 274: Conception
Cho Won-hee's appointment of Kim Tae-hwan to be in charge of this project alone was not untargeted, and he had studied Kim Tae-hwan's information in detail before making sure that he was indeed capable of completing his plan.
Kim Tae-hwan was deliberately left idle by Zhao Yuanxi, and he had been idle for a long time, and at this time he suddenly took on the heavy responsibility, and his heart was as hot as fire, and he couldn't wait to burst out with all his enthusiasm, and he hurriedly talked to Zhao Yuanxi for a few words and couldn't wait to leave, devoting himself to the trembling crazy and grand plan.
Saying goodbye to Kim Tae-hwan, Zhao Yuanxi took out his mobile phone and flipped it twice at random, dialing Mu Qingkong's number on the other side of the ocean.
"I'll you, do you know that I have a jet lag with you." Mu Qingkong's first sentence was full of complaints, Zhao Yuanxi had to pick a time to wake him up when he was not good to call, and Mu Qingkong was naturally unhappy.
"Less nonsense, of course I will look for you when I have something important." Zhao Yuanxi and Mu Qingkong have been roommates and friends since their college days, and they have a very good relationship, and they have always been casual and informal when they talk.
Mu Qingkong said angrily: "Say, I'll sleep after speaking." ”
"Aozora, I need you to help me acquire the shares of South Korea's S.M Entertainment Agency held by Japan's Ibex Company."
"What a mess."
Zhao Yuanxi patiently explained: "In short, I want to absolutely control South Korea's S.M Entertainment Agency, and I need to obtain the shares held by Japan's Ibex Company." ”
"What do you do with an entertainment company?"
"Is it valid if I say it's for the sake of beauty?"
Mu Qingkong laughed, "At least it's established with me." OK。 Understand. ”
"It doesn't matter if the price is higher, the important thing is time, I need to get that part of the stake as soon as possible."
"OK, understood. I will entrust Goldman Sachs and Da Mo, two investment banks, to buy shares. ”
Borrowing S.M Entertainment, a boss company, to raise money from the financial market and obtain huge amounts of cash from bank loans, and then exchange it for foreign currency through various channels, this is only the first step in Cho Wonxi's plan, and it is also the beautiful blueprint he showed to Kim Tae-hwan.
But is that enough? The answer given by Zhao Yuanxi is obviously no.
Earning profits through South Korea's sharp depreciation is only one of the links, once a huge amount of money is converted into US dollars or Hong Kong dollars, entering the financial market is a necessary choice, and earning more profits in the financial market is Zhao Yuanxi's ultimate goal. But before the plan can begin, Zhao Yuanxi must get an absolute controlling stake in S.M. Otherwise, it is a wedding garment for another. If you can't get too much oil and water in a vain game, then you won't have a head.
Absolute control of S.M Entertainment is like an arrow on the bow, and it is imperative.
After finishing the affairs of the finance department, Zhao Yuanxi received a call from Kim Jung-sung, informing him to prepare for the afternoon itinerary - the cover shoot of "ELLE" magazine. Genuine agent Song Ki-beom is busy negotiating various advertising endorsements. The doppelganger is flawless. Zhao Yuanxi's itinerary at this stage is all arranged by assistant agent Kim Zhengsheng. And Park Dong-kyu, another assistant on the back of the tiger, is the driver and bodyguard who has not changed for thousands of years.
Founded in France, the main consumer group of the fashion magazine ELLE is women between the ages of 18 and 24, and Zhao Yuanxi has a high level of attention and popularity among young women, and is much more popular in South Korea than in China. And this is also the main factor for "ELLE" to choose Zhao Yuanxi as the cover character.
Pressed for time and unable to take a break, Cho Won-hee rushed to the ELLE Korea branch headquarters in Nonhyeon-dong to shoot a fashion cover. The head office of ELLE Korea is quite large, the furnishings at work are very fashionable, and most of the employees who shuttle back and forth are professional Lady women, and they can't help but stop and take a look at Zhao Yuanxi when they see him.
ELLE magazine has an audience of about 450,000 in South Korea, because the magazine is positioned for female consumers, and the vast majority of the company's employees are female employees.
Zhao Yuanxi was accustomed to the scene, smiled and waved, nodded and greeted from time to time, and followed the guiding staff to the filming location.
To Cho's surprise that most of the staff he met along the way were women, the photographer in charge of the shoot was a man, about thirty-five or sixteen years old, with a beard rarely seen in Korea, and a tough side line.
"Hello, I'm Zhao Yuanxi." Zhao Yuanxi took the initiative to step forward and salute.
Magazine shooting is no stranger to Zhao Yuanxi, it can be said that he is familiar with it, his first commercial debut is with SJ's Choi Siyuan, the two beauties of the same company Lee Yeon-hee and Gao Yala's SPAO brand clothing endorsement, after nearly half a year of stage performances, he knows how to face the camera and present his most perfect side in front of the camera.
"Very good, now looking into the distance, I need a melancholy expression."
The photographic style positioning is the prince and the knight, which is very close to the image of Zhao Yuanxi, the white prince style and the black knight style Zhao Yuanxi is at ease, and even the photographer nodded in approval.
After a set of shots, during the break, a woman dressed fashionably and obviously a staff member of ELLE company came over and said with a smile: "Hello Zhao Yuanxi XI, I am Li Cailin, editor-in-chief of ELLE magazine, I wonder if Zhao Yuanxi XI has time to do a short interview?" ”
Zhao Yuanxi smiled and nodded, "Of course you can." ”
With delicate and neat short hair and just the right makeup, Li Cailin gives people a crisp and capable look.
"I'm a fan of Perfect Yuanxi, and I especially like you to sing French songs, which are very romantic and poetic." Li Cailin said sincerely, her hearty smile could not read a trace of pretentiousness, originally Li Cailin did not need to be responsible for interviewing Zhao Yuanxi, she still relied on her identity as the head of the editorial team to forcibly snatch the honor of interviewing Zhao Yuanxi from a group of colleagues.
"Thank you."
ELLE magazine was founded in France, and it is common for its employees to love French style, and Zhao Yuanxi was not surprised and thanked him politely.
Li Cailin smiled, his expression suddenly softened a lot, "Let's just take it as a very casual chat, as I personally wonder how you are proficient in the nine Chinese language, frankly this is not an easy thing, is it?" ”
"I can't talk about being proficient, I can only say a little bit about it. Maybe I have a little talent for languages, so it's easier to learn a foreign language. Zhao Yuanxi smiled and waved his hand, suddenly proficient in the nine Chinese dialect of this strange thing he could not explain to anyone, he could only use general language to bring through.
Li Cailin mentioned that the nine Chinese dialect is just a way to cut into the topic, and opening up the topic in the area where the talker is best can virtually shorten the distance between the two sides of the dialogue, and Li Cailin, as the editor-in-chief of the magazine, knows the truth. Zhao Yuanxi's formulaic response was not disappointing for Li Cailin, after all, the focus of their conversation this time was not on the nine Chinese dialects, but on fashion.
Of course, Zhao Yuanxi's views on fashion are not as good as those of the editor-in-chief of fashion magazines who have been in the industry for many years, and he can only explain his views from the perspective of his own emotions and cognition.
In the blink of an eye, the photographer interrupted the conversation between the two.
"It was a great conversation." Li Cailin reluctantly closed the notebook and ended the conversation in a timely manner, Zhao Yuanxi's words were humorous, she was a good interview subject, if she was given another ten minutes, she would definitely get more content she wanted.
"Li Cailin XI." Zhao Yuanxi suddenly stopped Li Cailin, "Can I have a cup of coffee after work?" ”
Li Cailin was overjoyed, she couldn't refuse this invitation in private or public, and said with a smile: "Of course it's no problem." ”
Of course, Zhao Yuanxi asked Li Cailin to drink coffee, of course, it was not because he admired the other party's temperament, but an idea suddenly popped up in his mind, which made a group of girls in Girls' Generation electrocut. Since Girls' Generation has a gap of about two months before the mini-series releases in late August, why not let them use their relatively free time to gain knowledge and accumulate rare experiences and unique experiences for future growth.
