Chapter 764: Negotiation; guarantee
After saluting and greetings, Li Xiuman suddenly said: "Cheng Yuan, I don't know if you are free, how about chatting with me later?" ”
Zhang Chengyuan smiled slightly and said: "It's my honor to be able to talk to Teacher Xiuman, how can I refuse?" Teacher Xiuman, please go first, I'll wait for you here, we'll talk later. ”
For him, although Li Xiuman has some energy and prestige, he is not worthy of his fear, so no matter what Li Xiuman wants to talk to him, he has no reason to retreat, and he also happens to have something to discuss with Li Xiuman.
In addition, the reason why he called Li Xiuman "Teacher Xiuman" was not because he respected Li Xiuman, but only because when the girls talked about Li Xiuman, they all called him "Teacher Li Xiuman", so he also called him so.
"Okay, we'll talk later." Li Xiuman replied with a smile, and then took Cui Siyuan and Gao Yala to walk quickly to the mourning hall, they still want to go in to mourn Andre? Jin, naturally, can't stand at the door of the mourning hall and talk to Zhang Chengyuan all the time.
Cheng Youli asked, "Cheng Yuan, what is President Li Xiuman looking for you for?" She was a little puzzled by Li Xiuman's intention of leaving Zhang Chengyuan to speak.
Zhang Chengyuan shook his head and said, "Who knows? Maybe he's just talking to me on a whim, maybe there's something important to discuss with me, but don't worry, I won't have any arguments with him. Maybe he saw me as an adversary to guard against, but I wasn't really going to go against him, and the position of president of S.M. was not uncommon for me. ”
Cheng Youli said: "I don't know much about business things, so I don't want to say anything." I just hope you don't fall out with him. Lest Sunny and the other girls be caught in the middle. ”
Zhang Chengyuan said: "Sister." Don't worry, I know how to measure. Oh, by the way, sister, I have something I want you to do me a favor. ”
"What's the matter?"
Zhang Chengyuan said: "I want to ask you to help me keep Yala, I haven't seen her for a long time, I want to talk to her, but." Don't get me wrong, I just think of her as a sister and don't have any other ideas. ”
Cheng Youli didn't misunderstand, because she also knew a little about the matter between Gao Yala and Zhang Chengyuan before, but she said with some doubts: "If you want to talk to her, just go to her directly, why do you want me to help you keep her." ”
Zhang Chengyuan said: "I don't know how long I have to talk to Li Xiuman, why am I embarrassed to ask her to wait for me?" So I hope you stay with her for a while and keep her until I come back. ”
Cheng Youli said: "If you really want to see her." You can go to her in person, or ask her out. Since she's your sister. I shouldn't refuse you. ”
Zhang Chengyuan said with a wry smile: "Actually, she can't be said to be my sister, it's just that I unilaterally treat her as a sister, and she seems to be a little repulsive to me, and doesn't want to be too close to me, and the two of us haven't seen each other for more than a year, if I suddenly go to her or ask her out, it seems a little abrupt, this time it's rare to meet by chance, I don't want to miss this opportunity, so I want to ask my sister for your help." ”
Cheng Youli shook his head and said, "When will you change your habit of recognizing your sister everywhere?" Since people don't bother to pay attention to you, why are you still doing it? However, I will reluctantly help you with this favor. ”
Zhang Chengyuan said with a smile: "Sister Youli, thank you, well, Yara is a simple and kind good girl, I believe you will like her after you come into contact with her." ”
Cheng Youli said: "I believe in your vision, but people may not think that you are a good person, and your reputation in the entertainment industry is not very good." Maybe that's why she's repulsive to you. ”
Zhang Chengyuan said indifferently: "It's nothing, as long as you have more contact with her, she will naturally get close to me." ”
……
While Zhang Chengyuan and Cheng Youli were chatting and talking, Li Xiuman, Cui Siyuan, and Gao Yala had also finished mourning Andre? Kim, walked out of the mourning hall. Zhang Chengyuan and Cheng Youli took a few steps forward, and then the two sides had another courtesy, but this time it was a little briefer.
Then, Zhang Chengyuan said to Gao Yala with a smile: "Yala, I want to talk to Teacher Xiuman, and I am a little worried that Sister Youli is bored alone, so I want to ask you to chat with her and wait for me to come back, are you willing?" ”
Gao Yala glanced at Li Xiuman, and seeing that he had no objection, she nodded and agreed. Subsequently, Li Xiuman and Zhang Chengyuan left first and found a nearby coffee shop to sit down and talk; Cheng Youli took Gao Yala's hand affectionately, and went to a quiet restaurant nearby to sit down and chat and eat, she got up late this morning, and hurried to meet Zhang Chengyuan after receiving a call from Lin Zhixiu, so that she hadn't eaten breakfast yet. As for Cui Siyuan, he left in a car alone.
In the private room of the coffee shop, Zhang Chengyuan and Li Xiuman sat opposite each other.
After ordering coffee, the two chatted, and Li Xiuman said, "Cheng Yuan, this is our second time meeting alone, right?" ”
Zhang Chengyuan nodded slightly and said, "Well, it's the second time, when I visited Xiuyan and Crystal in S.M. Company two years ago, I had the honor to talk to you alone. ”
Li Xiuman smiled faintly: "At that time, I didn't expect that in just two years, no, just over a year, you would be able to achieve what you are now." ”
Zhang Chengyuan said casually and modestly: "I can't say that the achievements are not enough, but there are just some achievements." ”
Li Xiuman said with a wry smile: "My efforts for more than ten years are not as good as your efforts in the past two or three years, if you are so modest, it will make me very ashamed." ”
Zhang Chengyuan said: "Where, I'm just luckier than Mr. Xiuman, if you talk about the achievements in the entertainment industry, it is far less than you, at least my JSW company is a lot worse than S.M. company." ”
Li Xiuman said: "Your JSW company is mainly actors, while my S.M. company is mainly singers, the two are not easy to compare, and it does not necessarily mean that S.M. company is necessarily stronger than JSW company, and maybe, after a while, my S.M. company may become yours." ”
Zhang Chengyuan shook his head and said: "I'm afraid that Mr. Xiuman, you won't give me any good opportunities, the last time Japan Aihui Company sold the shares of S.M. Company, I made a bad move." Preempted by you and Neowizbugs. Nothing. Although I recently bought back that 12% stake from Neowizbugs at a high price, it is still less than your stake when combined with my original stake. ”
Li Xiuman said: "But it's only 0.8%, I think as long as you spend another sum of money, then I will let you be the chairman of the company." ”
Zhang Chengyuan smiled: "How can it be so easy to become the president? Even if I may become the first shareholder, but the combined shares of Mr. Hidemitsu and your loyal followers are more than 50%, so how can I take control of S.M. and become the chairman? You won't choose me as president?
And. I already had a headache when I became the chairman of JSW, but I really didn't want to be the chairman of S.M. anymore, and I didn't even want to be the first shareholder. Therefore, Mr. Xiuman, you can rest easy and don't worry about me. Uh, that's why you're talking to me today, right? ”
His words are quite sincere, but Li Xiuman has been in the entertainment industry for so many years, how can he easily believe other people's words? What's more, Zhang Chengyuan was not a good person in the first place! Just from the fact that he bought dozens of companies in one go last year, you can see how greedy he is! Now he must be eyeing up to take away his S.M. company.
Of course, this is just Li Xiuman's idea. He didn't know much about Zhang Chengyuan, so he didn't know that Zhang Chengyuan had almost no interest in business matters. The reason for buying shares in S.M. is purely to better take care of some sisters such as Girls' Generation and the f(x) group.
Zhang Chengyuan saw that Li Xiuman didn't seem to believe it, and said lightly: "There is no evidence, I know you won't believe it, but Teacher Xiuman, if you want to believe it, you can believe it, and if you don't want to believe it, it's up to you, I don't seem to need to prove anything to you, maybe you can wait for time to prove my words." ”
Although Li Xiuman is a senior, with his current wealth and status, he naturally doesn't need to pay attention to his feelings, and the reason why he was respectful before was just because he didn't want to be rude.
Li Xiuman knew this, so he was not angry, at least on the surface, and said calmly: "Cheng Yuan, maybe for you, the S.M. company is just a trophy you want to get, but for me, it is my hard work for more than ten years, and it is one of the most precious things in my life, so I will never let it fall into the hands of others." If you can, I would like you to abandon your intention to acquire S.M. ”
Zhang Chengyuan smiled and said, "It seems that Mr. Xiuman, you still don't believe my words, well, that's right, Anyone who sees that I have been buying shares in S.M. will probably think that my real purpose is to control S.M., and I can't say anything about it, because no matter what I say, you will definitely not believe it, but, Mr. Hideman, maybe you can go back and ask your niece Sunny, then maybe you will know more about me as a person, and you will know why I keep buying shares in S.M., and you may even believe what I just said. ”
Li Xiuman said: "Why bother to ask Sunny, you can tell me in person why you keep buying shares of S.M., but why you don't want to be the first shareholder and chairman of S.M. company." For some reason, he suddenly believed Zhang Chengyuan's words.
"Okay, then I'll talk about it." Zhang Chengyuan said with a smile, "The reason why I decided to buy the shares of S.M. can be said to be completely for my sisters.
Well, Mr. Xiuman, I think you also know that my younger sisters Xiuyan and Xiujing are under your company, and I also have a good relationship with Taeyeon, Yoona, Song Qian and others, and I treat them as if they were my own sisters. In order to take care of them, I must have a certain voice in the S.M. company, from making people afraid to do anything to them, and at the same time, I can more smoothly strive for more resources for them, so that they can grow better. That's why I'm one of the majority shareholders of S.M.
However, it is precisely in order for them to grow better that I cannot be the controller of S.M., because I don't have the ability to propel them to world-class stardom for the time being, but you and your team do. So, Mr. Xiuman, as long as you can train those girls well and don't let them be wronged, then I can guarantee that in your lifetime, S.M. will only be an industry under your name, and no one, including me, will never get it.
