Chapter 205: I don't know what to do
After Jessica's birthday, Girls' Generation's schedule became more intensive.
Kim Young-min's relative success in the Girls' Generation project, Taeyeon's popularity all over the country with an OST song "If", and Yoona's supporting role in the MBC drama "Stunning Beauty Policeman Park Jung-jin" won the audience's recognition and love with her excellent acting skills, all of which added a lot of weight to him, so that he successfully became the president of S.M Company at the high-level meeting, with the support of several shareholders and Chairman Lee so-man.
Kim Young-min knows that half of the company's shareholders are inclined to support Director Kim Hyun-so as president, and in order to ensure the stability of this hard-won position as president, the best and most effective way is to raise the Girls' Generation girl group directly responsible for him to a higher position, so that Girls' Generation will be more popular and famous, and it is best to be equal to the current WonderGirls.
For this reason, Kim Young-min used the power of the president's position to stop the company's other artists several times, and then arranged it for Girls' Generation, in order to achieve the maximum publicity of Girls' Generation, if it weren't for Jiang Zhenying's persuasion many times, saying that such a dense itinerary is the limit for these nine girls, and he even wants to arrange more commercial activities.
There is no impermeable wall in the world, although it is the same company, but what fan wants to see the announcement of their support for the artist squeezed down. Kim Young-min's tough approach has caused dissatisfaction among fans of other artists under S.M, including many fans of Girls' Generation. Many SONE (official fan names of Girls' Generation) left messages on the S.M official website, asking the company to slightly reduce the Girls' Generation announcements and let them have more time to rest, etc. However, Kim Yingmin just scoffed at this information.
Lee Jae-min was not idle during this time, from the data given by the monitoring model. He can already feel that the financial crisis is getting closer and closer, and the ongoing rupiah cashing out jihua is beginning to come to an end.
On April 24, the hedge fund owned by Bear Stearns, the fifth-largest investment bank in the United States, was on the verge of collapse.
On May 5, American.Home.Mortgage, a real estate investment trust, filed for bankruptcy protection.
On May 9, the U.S. government took over Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
On May 12, Merrill Lynch was acquired by Bank of America.
On May 17, Lehman announced that it would apply for the largest bankruptcy protection debt in U.S. history of more than $613 billion.
On May 20, the U.S. credit crisis began to spread to the money market, and the Reserve.Primary.Fund was descripted for Lehman bonds. This led to a decline in its net asset value, making it the first money market fund in 14 years to cause investors to lose money.
The global economy has been shaken, and stock market indices have been plunging and falling, which has seriously affected many companies to cut wages and lay off employees. It has further stimulated the recession of the general environment economy. At this point, economists around the world began to exclaim. Last year's financial crisis simply did not survive. Even this time it will be more serious, after these remarks were thrown, it caused shareholders to panic for a while and sell their stocks one after another.
On May 22, just after filming the latest episode of "The Birth of a Family" in the morning, Lee Jae-min hurried to Seoul Airport by car.
Funds or funds with strong funds. They have long been sharpened, and some have even begun to gradually pull the net. Although the financial crisis has not yet completely erupted, the global economic market has become an enticing feast with these funds and funds. These people light up their knives and forks, waiting for the economic market to break a string, and they will flock to it. The more severe the financial crisis erupted, the more delicious the meal became for them.
The rupiah cash-out jihua has a thrilling completion, and the funds under the TTS umbrella have reached a staggering $500 million. Compared with those funds that move tens of billions of dollars, $500 million is just a drop in the bucket, let alone thrown into the global economic market. So for Lee Jaemin, he still doesn't have the financial, energy, and manpower to eat this feast all the way, he can only wait for the financial crisis to break out to the most serious stage, and then pounce on it and bite it twice, at least he thinks it's a hard bite, but in the eyes of those well-known funds and funds, his "hard bite" is just a little bit of the residue of a big meal.
Even if the final income is just the residue in the eyes of those financial predators, Lee Jaemin is already very satisfied, and he expects that after this Jihua, the ideal return will be between 30% and 60%.
In the past 10 days or so, Lee Jae-min has felt restless, after all, it is difficult to accurately judge when the financial crisis broke out to its worst stage. He understands that the more times like these, the more he needs to be calm, and it is extremely important to keep a clear head to judge every step of the way.
In order to relieve the pressure, in the past few days, he took the initiative to participate in the recording of some shows, and even went to catch up with some non-essential announcements, DeM exclaimed in unison in the club, is this the rhythm of becoming a model of a diligent artist!
On the 20th, Reserve.Primary.Fund reduced its holdings of Lehman bonds, like an obvious signal tormenting Lee Jae-min, and he finally couldn't sit still until the filming of this issue of "The Birth of a Family", and hurriedly asked Shin Jing to book him a ticket to Hong Kong, he felt that the time difference was not far off.
The nanny car stopped at Seoul Airport, and Park Shin-jeong turned around and looked back, "In Minoppa, I really don't need to go over!" ”
"Xue Suyuan can't preside over the overall situation alone, I don't have to worry about you staying in the country, although Jihua is extremely important this time, but TLF is our foundation, and there can't be any mistakes." Lee Jae-min hurriedly flipped through the latest information transmitted by Cui Haizhong from Hong Kong, he raised his head and continued to say, "The financial crisis has affected the domestic economy since it began, and it will be more serious in the future, you and Xue Suyuan must be prepared." Also, tell Xue Suyuan that don't be too anxious about the temporary decline in sales, after all, the general economic environment is like this, and salary cuts and layoffs are not applicable to LTF, so there is no need to throttle in this regard. ”
"Okay, I'll tell Store Manager Xue Suyuan." This time, Lee Jae-min proposed to fly to Hong Kong very suddenly, and Park Shin-jeong asked again, "When will you be able to come back?" ”
"It's hard to say!" Lee Jae-min gathered the documents and put them in his shoulder bag, ready to go to the plane to read them again, "The goals I set at the beginning have changed. In particular, the stock price of Jinya Company is still strong, and Lehman Brothers of the United States also announced that it will perform the third capital injection. ”
Park Shin-jeong asked, "Didn't Lehman file for bankruptcy?" Will you still be able to pay for this injection? ”
Lee Jae-min shrunk his eyebrows and said, "Lehman Brothers released the news that it was going to apply for bankruptcy protection, forcing the U.S. government to bail out, and Bank of America and Barclays Bank of the United Kingdom have long intended to acquire it, so the feasibility of bankruptcy protection is extremely small, and the third capital injection into Jinya is really not a burden at all compared to the entire Lehman Brothers company." At first, I thought that Lehman Brothers would tighten its investment in Asia first, but I didn't think that it had not given up on Asia until now, which is very strange. ”
"Well, if there is anything in the country, I will call you at any time!" Park Shin-jeong nodded, "Where are Yoona and Taeyeon?" ”
Lee Jaemin smiled bitterly, I thought that at least after May, it would be the most serious stage of the outbreak of the financial crisis, but I didn't expect the signal of the outbreak of the financial crisis and the serious stage to be much earlier, the 30th at the end of the month is Yuna's birthday, last night told Yuna that she was going to Hong Kong, and it might take so long, although she didn't say it, her tone was obviously a lot lower, and Taeyeon was also a little emotional.
"When I go to Hong Kong, I will find time to call them more. You watch them more in Seoul, and if anything happens, call me as soon as possible. Lee Jae-min took his passport and plane ticket from Park Shin-jung, got out of the car with his suitcase, and when he got out of the car, he turned around and said, "Don't forget to send her a gift on Yoona's birthday." ”
"Got it! You have said it more than a dozen times since last night, you will not forget your baby sister's birthday, you must send that birthday gift, you must give you a good look at Taeyeon, and Sister Sika, Sister Zhaoxi, Sister Jimin......" Seeing Lee Jae-min helplessly dragging his suitcase and turning around towards the airport, Park Shin-jing let out a loud daxiao, and when Lee Jae-min entered the airport, she started the car and left.
As soon as Park Shenjing left in the nanny car, a gray Bentley stopped there, the door opened, and a bald middle-aged man stepped down, looking at the exit of the airport attentively.
Just as the balding man took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat from his forehead, at the exit of the airport, a man wearing white casual clothes, ear-length brown curls, and a pair of wide sunglasses appeared.
"Young Master!" The bald man trotted all the way to Song Joon-gi's side, and he bowed down, "I went to Canada this time and found Miss Li Zhiyuan." ”
Song Joon-gi didn't have a good face, but after listening to the bald man's words, he immediately became iron-blue, he raised his feet and walked towards the Bentley, and only snorted for a long time, "That group of people is really a waste, so many people, only staring at one person, so they can be lost." Five days ago, they told me that Zhiyuan was in Canada, and I just rushed there, and said that Zhiyuan had flown to the United States, and I followed the flight to the United States, and after arriving in the United States, they actually told me that Zhiyuan had flown back to Canada...... As a result, as in the previous times, people did not see it at all. ”
"What a bunch of useless garbage!" The bald man followed Song Joon-gi's words and scolded Haode, got to the car, hurriedly bent down and pulled the car door for him, and when he sat in, he closed the car door lightly, and the bald man went around to the driver's seat and said, "Miss Li Zhiyuan didn't go to the UK to study?" How do you fly everywhere, is it deliberately avoiding you, young master! ”
Song Joon-gi took off his sunglasses and scratched his head, "It's not like you're hiding from me!" You know, she doesn't even bother with me, it's like that or not! ”
When the bald man heard this, he didn't know what to react to, so Zuihou had to laugh twice as if he was loyal, and immediately changed the topic again, "Miss Li Zhiyuan is not a good anchor, if you don't resign, the young master can at least find someone." Ms. Lee Chi Yuen's resignation was so sudden. However, that Lee Jaemin doesn't know what to do, young master, you obviously greeted him, and he even dared to sing to Miss Lee Zhiyuan in the show......" (to be continued......)
