Chapter 274: Revenge on SM Company (Two Chapters in One)
Chen Lin saw that the phone was from Park Youzhi, the general manager of the company in South Korea, and the first thing Park Youzhi said after answering the phone was to submit his resignation.
"Mr. Chen, there has been a serious mistake in my work, and I hereby propose to you to resign from the position of general manager, and ask you to choose another person with high talent."
"What did you say, Mr. Park?" Chen Lin didn't figure out the situation yet: "Why don't I understand what you are saying?" β
Park Youzhi repeated the exact words of his resignation, and then he recounted what happened to the Korean company.
Something happened to the Korean company, and one of its big-name artists, Lee Young-ae, broke the contract today and jumped to SM Company, which is not the worst thing, SM Company announced at the same time that it would invest in the filming of "Dae Jang Geum", and the heroine is Lee Young-ae.
"Again, what TV series is SM going to make?"
"Bigβbig Changjin."
"Bastard-" Chen Lin suddenly burst out of anger when he heard that it was "Da Chang Jin": "Doesn't the script of "Da Chang Jin" belong to our company, how could it become an SM company." β
This has to start from a month ago, a month ago, Jade Emperor Entertainment Korea Company recruited a new group of screenwriters, one of the screenwriters provided a script created by himself, that is, "Da Chang Jin", the then director of the script department thought the script was interesting so he submitted it to the company, and then went around and around Chen Lin also knew it.
At that time, he was also very happy and greatly rewarded the relevant personnel of the Korean company. And personally made the decision of the opening drama of the Korean company in 03 is this "Da Chang Jin".
But now Park Woo-ji did tell him that South Korea's SM company not only poached Lee Young-ae, but also announced the filming of "Dae Jang Geum".
Needless to say, the script of "Da Changjin", which originally belonged to Jade Emperor Entertainment, has now changed hands.
"Mr. Chen, I-I-" Park Youzhi was on the phone, obviously there was something unspeakable, and it was difficult to say on the phone.
But he did make Chen Lin's anger rise again: "I, I, I-you, the general manager, can't you even say a word clearly?" β
"Chenβ"
"I don't want to listen to your explanation now, I'll come here in person tomorrow, and you will explain to me all the ins and outs of the matter, and it's not just you who can't explain clearly. All those involved will be severely punished. β
After speaking, Chen Lin hung up the phone angrily. "Dududu~~" At this moment, his mobile phone rang again, and it was Yueya, the president of Huangting Brokerage Company, calling.
"Mr. Chen, do you know anything about the Korean company?"
"Mr. Park has already reported to me just now, and I will personally go over tomorrow to find out the specific situation."
"Mr. Chen, Mr. Park also told me about this."
"Oh, really?"
As soon as Chen Lin heard that Park Youzhi didn't report to him, the big boss, first, but notified Yueya first, he immediately understood that there was something inside.
Sure enough, Yueya's next tone confirmed his guess: "Mr. Chen, what happened in the Korean company, Mr. Park informed me first, and there was my mistake in it." β
"Your mistake?"
"Yes. I"
Chen Lin quietly listened to Yueya explain the reason for the matter. Gradually fell silent, after Yueya finished reporting, he pondered for a few minutes before saying to Yueya: "You handed over the celebration of the Pirates of the Caribbean to President Yang of the Jade Emperor Jiahe, and go to Korea with me tomorrow." β
"Okay, I'll go to Mr. Yang immediately. Doodoo"
Yueya had already hung up the phone, Chen Lin sat in his chair and thought about anything to deal with the Korean company, and before he knew it, he took a cigarette from the drawer and lit it
At 11 a.m. the next day, Chen Lin and Yueya arrived at the airport in Seoul, South Korea.
At the exit of the airport, the two saw at a glance the respectful general manager of the Korean company, Park Youzhi, and the haggard deputy general manager, supervisor and head of the art department Li Dong.
Park Youzhi saw the boss coming, and hurriedly stepped forward. And Li Dong hesitated for a moment and hurriedly followed.
Minister Li Dong, who is usually high-spirited, would not know what to do with his head bowed in front of Chen Lin and Yueya, like a person who made a mistake, with a look of remorse: "Mr. Chen, Mr. Yue." I-"
"Hmph. I'll pick you up later, get in the car first. β
Chen Lin snorted, stared at Li Dong hatefully, and then took the lead to walk outside the airport. "Mr. Chen, Mr. Yue, go this way." Seeing this, Park Youzhi hurriedly walked to the front to lead the way.
Li Dong still followed behind with his head down. After listening to the boss's words, "I'll clean you up later", his heart relaxed a little.
He knew that he did not escape his mistakes this time, and he took the initiative to admit his mistakes and did the right thing. What mistake did Li Dong make?
"Mr. Chen, Mr. Yue. Lee Young-ae jumped ship, and I am responsible. After getting in the car, without the boss asking, Li Dong took the initiative to admit his mistake: "I violated the company's system." Taking advantage of the convenience of my position to pursue the company's artists, I made a big mistake and made a big mistake, and this is my resignation letter. β
It turned out that Li Dong fell in love with Li Yingai, but the falling flowers had no intention of flowing water. Li Dong is not a person who gives up easily, using his power to create opportunities and pursue the other party, to some extent, it has already constituted harassment to the woman.
Lee Young-ae's job-hopping also has a reason to avoid Li Dong.
However, Park Youzhi disagreed with Li Dong's statement, and he pleaded for Li Dong: "Mr. Chen, Li Ying-ae's job-hopping can't be completely blamed on Minister Li, I am also responsible, in fact, I know that Minister Li is pursuing Li Ying-ae, and I also know that Minister Li violated the company's system by doing this, but I didn't stop it, and I was also at fault." β
"And in my opinion, although Minister Li violated the company's regulations, he didn't do anything immoral, and he was a normal man chasing women. Lee Young-ae will not change jobs because of this. β
"I know if I'm wrong." Chen Lin finally spoke: "If it weren't for the fact that you usually work well, your attitude of admitting your mistakes is sincere, and Mr. Park and Mr. Yue are pleading for you, I would approve your resignation." β
Li Dong was scolded silently. "Now I have the following decision to make to you. One, your year-end bonus for this year is canceled, and two, write a profound review and give it to me. Understood. β
"I understand, I accept the punishment." Li Dong hurriedly responded, and then said gratefully: "Thank you Mr. Chen for giving me another chance, I will definitely change my mistakes and prove myself with actions." β
"Thank you, Mr. Yue, thank you, Mr. Park, for saying good things for me."
"Minister Li, there is no need to say these words of gratitude." Yueya suddenly interrupted Li Dong's words: "Everyone is a colleague and should be considerate of each other. You should report to the boss about Lee Young-ae's job hopping and the theft of the script of "Dae Jang Geum". β
"Yes." Li Dong glanced at Yueya gratefully, he was Yueya's person. Zhilu Dao boss was helping him, this was a chance for him to perform in front of the boss, so he sorted out his thoughts and reported the ins and outs of the matter.
Lee Young-ae's job-hopping and the script of "Dae Jang Geum" was stolen by SM Company, both of which are related to two people: one is a senior screenwriter named Yoo Yana from the screenwriting department of Jade Emperor Korea Company, and the other is Lee so-man, the president of SM Company.
Three days ago, Liu Yana secretly jumped to SM company with the screenwriter and script of "Da Jang Jin", and three days later, that is, yesterday, SM's president Lee so-man appeared at the press conference with Lee Young-ae, and Lee Young-ae announced that he had terminated his contract with Jade Emperor Entertainment Company and joined SM.
It is understood that Lee so-man and Lee Young-ae have a good relationship in private. This time, it was Lee so-man who personally stepped out and contributed to Lee Young-ae's job hopping. In addition, Li Dong's love for Li Ying caused her unhappiness, and at the same time, her job hopping was also related to the fact that the script of "Da Chang Jin" was in the hands of SM, Li Ying Ai liked this script very much and wanted to play Da Chang Jin in it, Chen Lin originally wanted her to play it, but because of time reasons, she was in a hurry to inform her of this decision.
Good birds choose trees to perch, and if Li Yingai wants to change jobs, let her jump. Chen Lin didn't care very much, he was still angry about the script of "Da Chang Jin".
"What's going on with this Liu Yana, do we treat her well, and if she changes jobs, she still has to take away the screenwriter of "Da Changjin"?"
"Mr. Chen. This was a premeditated act by SM Company. Li Dong replied: "We suspect that Liu Yana is a commercial spy, who was originally inserted by SM Company. β
"Commercial espionage?" Chen Lin was surprised when he heard this: "Is there any evidence?" β
"There is no definite evidence, but this Liu Yana is very suspicious, she was the screenwriter of SM company half a year ago. When he joined our company, he said that he liked our salary and salary, and now it seems that this person had a purpose to apply for our company. β
"What Mr. Li said is not wrong, this woman is usually very sociable in the company. I also saw her lingering in other departments on several occasions. At first, I thought that her personality was to love to make friends, but now that I think back, she is deliberately inquiring about various situations in the company. Park Youzhi added: "As for how she took away Kim Won-jung, the screenwriter of "Dae Jang Geum", we have also found out that Liu Yana or SM Company bought Kim Won-jung with money, in fact, I am also responsible for Kim Won-jung being bribed. β
"Oh. Is there anything else going on here? β
"Yes." Park Youzhi nodded and said: "Half a month ago, Jin Yuanzhong suddenly came to me and said that he would borrow a sum of money from the company, and he wanted to get married and buy a house." Since the amount he wanted to borrow was a bit large, I didn't promise him at the time, saying that I would consider it. β
"I think it should be Liu Yana who knew that he needed money, so he took advantage of the situation to buy off Jin Yuanzhong, so that he even pulled people away with the script. At the same time, Liu Yana also took away the three assistant screenwriters she managed. β
Chen Lin finally understood the ins and outs of the matter, and it was very simple that everything was done by SM Company.
"Shopping malls are like battlefields, and it is normal for commercial competitors to come out with all their means." Chen Lin suddenly said with indescribable anger in his tone: "I don't care about commercial espionage, what I want to say is that the script of "Da Changjin" did not register intellectual property rights in the first place?" If you register the intellectual property rights of the script as soon as possible in strict accordance with the company's system, even if this Liu Yana is a commercial spy and poachs people at most, "Da Chang Jin" is still ours. β
"At the end of the day, it's our own negligence."
"This time also gave us a lesson to learn to use the law to protect the interests of companies, which American companies are doing better, while South Korean and Chinese companies are not doing enough."
"Mr. Chen, we must learn a lesson from this incident." Park Youzhi and Li Dong hurriedly expressed their stance and corrected the omission.
"Mr. Chen, it's not a big deal to lose a few people, but the loss of "Da Changjin" has indeed caused a huge loss to the company. We must not rest on our laurels. At this time, Yueya said strongly: "SM Company causes trouble first, and we must take retaliatory action." β
"What Mr. Yue said is not wrong." Li Dong gritted his teeth and said: "We must take reciprocal revenge, Li Yingai is the first batch of artists we signed, and Mr. Chen personally did it, and now all the Korean media are watching our reaction." β
"SM dares to dig our people, then his people should also be ready to be poached by us, Mr. Chen, if you want to fight for strength, with the strength of the Korean branch in a short period of time, you can't help the other party, if the head office can provide financial support, then it will be different."
Li Dong was full of confidence and continued: "If the head office can provide 100 million, no, only 60 million yuan of financial support, I can be sure that I will poach all one-third of the artists of SM Company and let them drink the bitter wine they brew." β
"If no one offends me, I will not offend anyone. If anyone sins against me, I will transgress twice as much. Chen Lin nodded, and said in a serious tone: "It's not enough to dig up the other party's artists, it's not worth it, and I and Mr. Yue will come here." β
"Mr. Park, Mr. Li, you give me all the information of SM Company before evening." Chen Lin instructed Yue Ya again: "Mr. Yue, you go and help me make an appointment with Thomson, the director of Morgan Stanley Korea, and say that I will invite him to tea at 2 o'clock in the afternoon." β
The three CEOs nodded hurriedly, especially as soon as Li Dong heard that the boss offered to invest in the bank, he knew that the boss of Lu Dao also made a big move, and he was excited in his heart.
If you want to lose your dignity, you have to take SM under the knife.
Chen Lin arrived at the company's headquarters soon after arranging the task in the car, and after arriving at the company, Chen Lin didn't take a break, and immediately convened more than 60 people including the company's department heads, artists, and screenwriters to gather in the conference room for a meeting.
The atmosphere in the conference room was unexpectedly relaxed, Chen Lin didn't seem to care about what happened in the company, but talked and laughed with a few artists first, especially Bao'er Zhilu Dao Brother Lin came, ran into the conference room and then sat next to Brother Lin, pulling his hand and coquettishly.
"Bao'er, it's only been a month since I've seen anyone grow taller." Chen Lin looked at Bao'er for a moment and sighed: "Unknowingly, our princess is 17 years old and has grown up. β
Now Quan Baoer has surpassed the other predecessors of the company, and has become the number one artist of Jade Emperor Korea Company, and has become a veritable princess held by everyone.
"Brother Lin, I don't want to grow up!" Bao'er rolled her eyes and pouted.
"For what?" Chen Lin was puzzled: "Isn't it good to grow up?" β
"Hmph, Brother Lin won't be able to hold Bao'er like before. Boa can't sit on you like she used to. Bao'er blinked and said coquettishly.
"Ha Lu Ha Ha ~~" Chen Lin Ha Da Lu smiled, couldn't help pinching Bao'er's face, and then stroked her little head and smiled: "Silly girl, now that you have grown up, my brother can't hold you." β
Chen Lin changed the topic and continued: "Bao'er, your new album is selling well again, and my brother is coming here this time to reward you." β
"Really?"
"Of course." Chen Lin smiled: "When did Brother Lin lie to you, what reward did you say you wanted?" β
"En~~" Bao'er thought for a while and said, "I want Brother Lin to stay for a few more days and accompany me to play." β
"Hehe, I promise you." Chen Lin then instructed Li Dong and Park Youzhi: "Our princess is a big seller this time, you are responsible for organizing a celebration banquet, I ask that the celebration banquet be more grand, and invite the famous people in the Korean entertainment industry." β
"Mr. Chen, don't worry, we have been preparing for the celebration of the little princess for a long time." Li Dong hurriedly replied to the boss.
The other executives in the conference room originally thought that the boss must be angry when he came from China, but they were relieved to see the boss and the little princess talking and laughing.
I really want to thank the little princess Bao'er, the boss of the next meeting did not blame these executives, but adjusted the company's welfare system, greatly increased the salaries of artists, screenwriters and other technical personnel, and then announced the dissolution of the meeting.
