Chapter 102: Saving Private Tony
(Thank you for today's tip, DGDD, and brilliance, Lotus has been working hard!!! )
Besides, Li Xiuman's approach also made the six people feel related. Today is the fate of H.O.T, and it is hard to guarantee that tomorrow it will not be them.
With this kind of thought, coupled with Tony's once revealed, the relationship with Choi Jung-won is extraordinary. That's why ERIC took the opportunity to participate in "Xman" and found Yoo Jae-seok. hopes to ask Cui Zhengyuan for help through him. Who knows, Cui Zhengyuan will happen to come here to visit the class, and ERIC can explain the reason for the matter in person.
Cui Zhengyuan also wants to block the S.M company through Tony and others, how can Li Xiuman defeat them. Therefore, special attention is paid to this news.
Patting ERIC on the shoulder gratefully, "Xiexie, I think Tony will be grateful to them when they find out." In the future, if you have any trouble, just come to me. I'll do the rest."
ERIC was overjoyed, but he didn't expect to do Tony a favor and actually make friends with a noble person like Cui Zhengyuan.
This is a connection that Jin Buchang, who knows how much this relationship will help him in the future. After repeatedly saying that this was what he should do, he went back to his agent. Helping Tony is out of friendship, and if you fold yourself in, you won't be able to gain more than you lose.
After ERIC left, Choi Jung-won did not rush back, but stood in place and quietly thought about the solution. It took a long time to have a clear idea.
With such an important matter to be solved, the matter of visiting Liu Zaishi had to be abandoned. After hurrying back and explaining the reason to Liu Zaishi, he quickly ran back to the car.
Let the bodyguard drive the car away from SBS, and after driving casually along the road for a while, find a roadside and stop.
Cui Zhengyuan quietly thought about it for a while, and after confirming that his plan was foolproof, he took out another mobile phone from the driver's seat drawer.
Mobile phone communications in South Korea must be registered with a real name before they can be used, but for figures like Choi Jung-won, none of this is a problem.
The mobile phone he is holding in his hand now, and his name registered with the communication company is Hwang Changjiu, and he is an ordinary Korean.
The problem is that this man didn't last long at all, having died in a car accident a long time ago. Through internal connections, Cui Zhengyuan got the communication card registered in the name of this person. Some of the stuff can't be done on his own phone, of course.
There are more capable shili, and he can't guarantee that his mobile phone won't be tapped. If someone catches the handle, it will be a catastrophe. Be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years, how can Executive Director Cui not have reserved means.
The reason why I don't call in SBS is because I am afraid of being located and finding clues. Besides, in SBS, people come and go, who knows that there are people hidden in that corner, and if they are heard, it will be a big trouble. S.M Company is not a small shrimp without a defense, and the shili behind it is also fearful of the Cui family.
Just stop on the side of the road, and even if you are located, you can't find anything. The mobile phone has nothing to do with him, and the S.M company can still have the ability to find out about him?
The phone rang just once, and it was picked up. A deep male voice came out of the microphone, without the slightest nonsense, and went straight to the point, "What can serve you"?
Cui Zhengyuan also did not talk nonsense, and directly ordered: "Immediately dispatch the most competent lawyer to find the parents of Tony of H.O.T." Let's just say that their son is imprisoned by the company, and let them come out to ask for someone from S.M."
The other side groaned for a moment and asked, "In what capacity do we come forward?" When people figure it out, is it over"?
Cui Zhengyuan smiled coldly, "Just come forward as Tony's lawyer, as long as you see him in person, he will understand what to do." When he got the person out, he was asked to file a lawsuit with the Seoul District Court on charges of ill-treatment and illegal imprisonment, accusing S.M Company. By the way, when you go to ask for someone, you might as well bring more reporters, newspapers, media and whatever, bring a little more. The more people who know about this company, the better."
Without the slightest hesitation, the other side immediately received instructions.
Cui Zhengyuan, who finished making the call, took out the communication card in his mobile phone and threw it into the trash can on the side of the road. It won't be long before someone brings him this card again.
On the way back, Cui Zhengyuan was secretly happy. The person he had just contacted was the head of a well-known law firm in South Korea.
This law firm has the background of the Cui family, but the outside world doesn't know about it at all. Gain's law firm has never represented the Cui family's case, and it has never intersected with the C.J Group.
S.M and Lee had a lot of fun, and Tony's parents, along with their lawyers and reporters, came to the door. No matter how rich and powerful he is, he doesn't dare to continue to detain Tony. And as long as the three of them come out, with the protection of Cui Zhengyuan, they will have the ability to compete with S.M Company for a long time.
Cui Zhengyuan is ready to make this matter as big as possible, and I believe that the domineering behavior of S.M Company will definitely arouse the public indignation of the people of the whole country. However, this is not enough, it is not realistic to rely on the ethereal public opinion to make S.M lose a lot.
But he still has a back hand, and that's who he's going to meet at the moment.
When he arrived at the Lishang Clubhouse in Apguting, the man was already waiting for him. As soon as they met, the two of them had a fierce fight, which made several women watching around laugh.
Finally, the two of them had enough fighting. The man sat down on the couch and gasped for breath before he said, "All right, beauties, we have something to say." Look, don't you avoid it"? Although he used a consultative tone, these women were all people in the dust who were accustomed to observing words and feelings, and they immediately walked away.
Cui Zhengyuan shook his head and smiled, "I said Brother Haoyu, you are the director of the dignified TV station." I also messed around with these people, beware of the lace news".
That's right, the person opposite is SBS's director of the Arts and Performing Arts Bureau, Lee Ho-woo.
Listening to Cui Zhengyuan's ridicule, he defended, "Do you really think I'll do something, it's just to cover people's eyes." Otherwise, if someone sees us having a private meeting, there may be many misunderstandings"?
The director of a TV station with real power, the boss of a brokerage company, and the two of them meet secretly, they will definitely be mistaken for some power and money transactions. If you meet in such an open clubhouse, and there are some young ladies to accompany you, it will only make people think that it is a gathering of gentlemen.
took a cigarette in his mouth, took a beautiful puff, and let the smoke spew out in a straight line, Li Haoyu asked: "You came to me in such a hurry, what's the big deal?"
After fanning away the smoke, Cui Zhengyuan said: "Of course it's very important, but it's not you, but it's up to Uncle Li."
When it came to his old man, Li Haoyu suddenly got serious, sat up straight, his eyes flashed with a faint divine light, "Tell me about it"?
Although there were only the two of them in the box, Cui Zhengyuan was not careful, and asked Li Haoyu to come over and mutter.
The more Li Haoyu listened, the brighter his eyes became, and after listening to it, Zuihou gave Cui Zhengyuan a thumbs up, "It's really yours, I can think of such a bad idea." This thing is done, and the other party will shed his skin if he doesn't die."
Cui Zhengyuanquan took this as a compliment, "You can't die if you die, it's not that you don't know who is behind it, and you won't let it collapse if you say anything." But if you want to be all, it's difficult."
Li Haoyu didn't know the ability of S.M Company and knew that he was right. However, S.M. has a close relationship with their rivals, and he is certainly happy to make the other party unlucky. Asked: "In this case, weishenme wants to use my old man"?
Cui Zhengyuan was confident and asked rhetorically: "Have you forgotten, what is Uncle Li doing now"?
Li Haoyu is also a human spirit, and instantly understood what he meant. After hahadaxiao, he pointed at him and said helplessly: "It's really you, this is all thought of." But is the evidence conclusive? If the old man wants to make a decision, he must have real evidence."
Li Tianzai was ousted from the position of SBS president, and he was already angry with Tairong Real Estate.
However, he is in the real estate business, and he, the Cultural Supervision Council, has no control over it. However, S.M, which has a close relationship with Tairong Real Estate, can't run away. As long as Cui Zhengyuan's side comes up with real evidence, Li Tianzai can completely use this to make S.M Company take a big lead.
Not to mention anything else, it is not a problem to ban the activities of S.M's artists for a period of time or something. Think about it, in one to two months, what will be the impact of S.M's artists not being able to appear in any public media. Of course, it won't work after a long time. Li Tianzai couldn't cover the sky with one hand, and he couldn't last long.
Cui Zhengyuan didn't think about beating S.M to death with a stick and making it uncomfortable, at least let A.P and other brokerage companies take the opportunity to seize some markets and delay its development momentum. lest S.M become a leader in the Korean entertainment industry.
Of course, he will not miss this method of eliminating the advantages of the other.
Cui Zhengyuan and Li Haoyu hit it off, hurriedly discussed the details, and then went their separate ways.
The situation continues to unfold under the attention of Choi Jung-won.
After Tony's parents and lawyer came to the door, S.M. did not dare to continue to use violent means. After the three were released, they told the reporters who came to interview them in detail about the company's atrocities, and said that they would definitely appeal to the court to demand moral and material compensation from S.M.
After this incident was reported by major media, it aroused great concern in the whole society. Public opinion has condemned S.M's disregard for human rights and exploitation of artists. The government is required to vigorously rectify various brokerage companies in South Korea and regulate the order of the entertainment industry.
Under the surging situation, the government of Kim Dae Z was forced to punish a number of brokerage companies with similar behavior, including S.M, and ordered these companies to rectify within a time limit.
It is worth mentioning that in the investigation of A.P Entertainment, the above behavior was not at all. For a time, A.P's fame spread rapidly among the people. As a result, more and more children who are interested in working in the entertainment industry come to consult about the selection.
Under such circumstances, the Seoul District Court accepted the complaint filed by Tony and the three of them against the original company for a series of illegal acts, such as illegal abuse, exploitation of labor income, and demand for termination of the contract.
As Cui Zhengyuan expected, S.M Company is really not a fuel-efficient lamp. gathered his own team of lawyers, and at the same time filed a counterclaim against Tony and others. The reason was that the Tony and the three did not perform their obligations according to the contract, which violated the Performing Arts Contract Law, resulting in serious losses for S.M, and asked the court to order the three to compensate for the losses.
In this way, the two sides could argue and start a long-term tug-of-war.
According to S.M's original assumption, the Tony and the three of them were helpless and could not afford this kind of long-term lawsuit.
Who knows, things are much more than they expected. In the course of the lawsuit, Tony's three-person legal team showed very strong professionalism. Investigation, evidence collection, evidence, dialectic, step by step, the lawyer team of S.M Company lost their armor.
In the face of powerful facts, it is useless for S.M to make any quibbles. There is very little room for behind-the-scenes manipulation of this incident that has attracted national attention.
The Kim Dae Z government did not dare to risk the world's condemnation, so it had to sit back and watch the defeat of S.M. Company.
In the end, the Seoul District Court ruled against S.M, and the brokerage contract signed by the Tong and the three was invalid, and the two parties had no economic relationship from now on.
The evidence of S.M's persecution and exploitation of the three was conclusive. The company instructed S.M to compensate the three people for a total of 8 billion won in remuneration and 2 billion won in moral and material compensation for five years, totaling 10 billion won.
However, this is not the most serious consequence.
As soon as the court handed down the verdict, the Cultural Supervision Council solemnly announced that in view of the bad behavior of S.M. From now on, all its artists are not allowed to appear in any broadcast programs. Instruct S.M Company to carry out rectification in order to observe the after-effects.
As soon as this measure came out, it directly hit the soft underbelly of S.M. Company. If you open an entertainment company, your artists can't appear in the show, how to gain attention and popularity?
Without attention and popularity, how can you make money? In response, S.M made a strong protest and demanded that the CSRC change its resolution. But there was a tough refusal, and from this day on. S.M. was in the midst of a winter's suffering.
It wasn't until a month later that President Kim Dae-z, citing S.M., as the pioneer of Korean cultural dissemination and making outstanding contributions to making Shijie aware of South Korea, issued an amnesty to extricate him.
But by this time, other brokerage companies had already swarmed like wolves that smelled blood. Taking advantage of this opportunity, they have achieved a lot of development.
S.M. wants to regain lost territory, and it will have to go through a protracted battle.
