The prosperity of the three most important departments, the music production department, the film and television production department, and the performing arts department, is a good start for today's meeting and makes everyone's spirits high.

The situation of the PR, Planning, and Public Relations departments is also very encouraging, and although it is not as direct as the results of the previous three departments, it is also expected that what kind of changes will be brought to A.P in the near future.

After a year of adaptation, the logistics department has tripled in size with the cooperation of other departments. The number of employees has also increased from 135 at the beginning to 578.

The most of them are agents and various assistants, and as more and more artists debut at A.P, the logistics team will swell.

Jin Zhicheng, the minister of the logistics department, reflected the shortage of assistant team personnel and the uneven level, and waited for the leaders to come up with practical solutions.

Choi Jung-won asked the opinions of the leaders of various departments, consulted with Kim Young-min, Han Sung-ho and others, and finally made a decision after combining the experience of his previous life. All of the assistants who are currently not working will be assigned to Japan for further training.

Compared to the level of Korean fashion and beauty clothing, Japan is the place where Asia is at the forefront of fashion.

The Japanese branch does not have much work at the moment, and it can be used as a base for training various assistant teams.

All departments have completed their reports one after another, and the trainee department and the finance department are left.

Both of these are the highlights, and they are also the focus of everyone's attention.

Among them, the finance department does not need to be repeated, it is related to everyone's money bag, and no one can ignore it. The trainee department is Cui Zhengyuan's confiner, and it is also the foundation for the future development of A.P Company.

Zhao Zhengjiu and Chen Shengmei glanced at each other, and the latter gestured to him to ask for the first place.

It seems that Chen Shengmei has something very important to say, and Zhao Zhengjiu also knows that the finance department is very important. Although the situation in his report is also not small, it still cannot be compared with the finance department.

Cough lightly. Zhao Zhengjiu began to speak. "As you all know, not long ago, our trainee department underwent a major purge. Now I will talk about the causes and consequences of this matter in detail, and the company still needs to make up its mind about the direction of work next year. ”

Cui Zhengyuan closed the lid of the pen and said solemnly: "Minister Zhao, to speak in detail, I happened to be in the United States some time ago, and the specific details are not very clear. ”

Zhao Zhengjiu first talked about the reason. "Since the official listing of the trainee department, there are 398 trainees of various types. Later, through various channels, some joined in one after another. As of the end of last month. The total number of trainees registered is 420. ”

"With so many trainees, it seems that there is a lot of variety, and there are no shortcomings. But in fact, such a huge number, compared with the company's planning, is too resource-consuming, and some of the gains outweigh the losses. ”

Everyone here understands what he said.

More than 400 trainees, even the strong A.P company. It is guaranteed that there will be people who will debut every year, and no more than 100 people will have a chance at most. In other words, the remaining three-quarters are all wasted on the company's resources. And it doesn't bring anything in return.

After giving everyone a little buffer time, Cho Jung-gu continued: "Under such circumstances, Representative Kim Young-min, Executive Director Choi Jung-won and Director Han Sung-ho jointly resolved to slim down the trainee department. ”

Kwon Ji-young, head of the planning department, rubbed his nose covertly. Bowed his head.

Some time ago, for the sake of Lee Seung-gi, he and Zhao Zhengjiu staged an all-martial arts trip. Although Choi Jung-won did not hold him accountable. But after calming down, he also knew that he was reckless.

The reason why Lee Seung-gi almost couldn't make his debut is the slimming jihua that Cho Jung-gu is now mentioning.

"At the end of last month, our trainee department conducted a thorough examination. In line with the principle of removing the chaff and preserving the essence and selecting the best of the best, the difficulty has been increased in singing, dancing, image, acting skills, physical fitness, body, musical instruments, etc. The result was very bad, and only seventy-three of the qualified trainees remained with special terms. Thinking of the results of the exam, Zhao Zhengjiu was also sweating.

"Seventy-three?" Liu Zaishi suddenly exclaimed.

Although the others were also taken aback, they also understood that Weishenme had felt a lot quieter in the company recently. It turned out that there were not so many children all of a sudden, and the atmosphere was not noisy enough.

But none of them were as radical as Yoo Jae-seok's reaction, and they were also taken aback by his shout.

Don't look at it just to clear the trainees, it doesn't seem like a big deal. For those little trainees, it is definitely a major setback in life. Many of them may even collapse because of this, and say goodbye to their ideals of being artists forever.

Liu Zaishi is the character of a good man, and he will not be embarrassed easily. This kind of behavior of cutting off people's future made him a little unbearable. "Minister Zhao, isn't it a little too much? I've also learned about these children, and many of them are pretty good. ”

was blamed by the fourth-in-command, and Zhao Zhengjiu was also a little aggrieved. "Minister Liu, this is really something that has no choice. Those who have been dismissed are not up to standard, and there will be no future if they continue to stay. ”

Zhao Zhengjiu did all this from Cui Zhengyuan's instructions, of course he couldn't let his subordinates be wronged. "Minister Liu, instead of procrastinating and delaying the future of those children, it is better to let them recognize the reality now. In this way, at least they will have time to choose their future path again. ”

It's not that Liu Zaishi doesn't understand the truth, it's just that his sympathy is overflowing, and he can't help it. Now that Cui Zhengyuan has said everything, he can't say anything anymore.

Seeing that Liu Zaishi had been dealt with, Cui Zhengyuan instructed Zhao Zhengjiu: "Minister Zhao, you can continue." ”

The boss spoke for him, and Zhao Zhengjiu was finally more comfortable. "There are so many fewer people in the trainee department all of a sudden, which has led to a lot of our work coming to a standstill. A large number of classroom teachers are idle and have nothing to do. This has to change, so I'm here to ask you where to focus on what to do next. ”

Just taking money and not doing anything, it is still a group of people, which really makes a few leaders nerve-wracking.

It was in order to save costs that they made the decision to clean up the trainees.

The main reason is that those trainees who have been dismissed have no talent and can't see the future prospects, otherwise Cui Zhengyuan will not let them go even if the cost is large. Just like during the exam, Xiaomin and several other trainees failed to pass, so they were not left behind by the special terms he used.

Compared to trainees, these teachers are more costly. With a good salary, if you don't do anything, you really can't bear it.

Kim Young-min, Choi Jeong-won, Han Sung-ho, Yoo Jae-seok, Kwak Jae-yong, Cho Ki-tae and other major leaders got together, discussed for a long time, and finally reached a consensus.

It is necessary to hold a trainee draft meeting of A.P Company as soon as possible, and re-select a group of outstanding seedlings to enrich the trainee department. At the same time, because of Choi Jung-won's achievements, it is also necessary for A.P Company to get closer to the general public.

Open the source of students and select trainees is undoubtedly a very haode method.

Korea's No. 1 entertainment company recruits trainees, which will definitely attract attention. And the talent that can be attracted is also expected.

"And when is the right date for the draft?" When it comes to trainees, Zhao Zhengjiu never makes his own decisions and insists on consulting Cui Zhengyuan.

After estimating the itinerary, Cui Zhengyuan replied: "It's set in the middle of February." By then, my campaign should have ended, and there will be a gap between me. ”

For Cui Zhengyuan, a senior executive, to care so much about the situation of the trainee draft, everyone here is accustomed to it.

When it comes to the things of trainees, Cui Zhengyuan has always had to see it himself. Even if it is just a trainee's promotion or withdrawal, without his approval and approval, it will not take effect.

When Zhao Zhengjiu reported to work, Chen Shengmei kept her head down and sorted out the information. By this time, she had stopped what she was doing and signaled to Cui Zhengyuan.

Looking at the situation of the trainee department, Cui Zhengyuan said: "The matter of the trainee department is over, and I welcome Minister Chen Shengmei to make an annual financial report for me." ”

Zuihou's meat drama is coming, and it is also the most exciting.

was stared at by dozens of pairs of eyes at once, and Chen Shengmei also felt a little more pressure.

Handed over the information to the assistant and put it on the projector, she walked to the screen and began to explain.

"This year's development momentum of the company, I believe everyone has an intuitive personal feeling. Reflected in the specific data, it is very gratifying. Several important revenue-generating sectors have achieved remarkable results. Let's take a closer look. With the financial power in hand, Chen Shengmei explained it in high spirits, quite with Pan Jingzhen's style.

"The most profitable department this year is the music production department, which ranks first among all departments, with a total revenue of 71.2 billion won. followed by the film and television production department, which is 63.5 billion. Zuihou is the performing arts department, which is 14.7 billion. The rest is the sporadic income of the trainee department and the planning department, which is about 3 billion. Then, in 2001, the total operating income of A.P Company was 152.4 billion yuan. When Zuihou reported the total, Chen Shengmei's voice suddenly rose a little.

That's more than 100 billion yuan, and whoever creates so much income in a year will definitely be proud.

Sure enough, when she announced the numbers, the audience burst into thunderous applause.

This astronomical figure was created by all my colleagues here and all the employees and artists who are not here, and everyone is honored.

The applause was so warm that Chen Shengmei had to stop talking. It wasn't until five minutes later that she was able to continue. However, because the operating costs of the entertainment industry are relatively large, the expenses in terms of expenditure are also expensive, at 85.6 billion yuan. In other words, after deducting costs, A.P's actual net income in 2001 was 66.8 billion yuan. (To be continued......)
