Chapter 99: Door-to-door
(Xiexie Azure Broad Reward, Lotus Efforts Update)
The broadcast of "Blue Life and Death Love" is in full swing, and it is not an exaggeration to say that this drama has squeezed out the tears of all Koreans. Along with it, the advertisements inserted in this drama have received great attention, and the income of many merchants has increased significantly.
Under such circumstances, KBS TV has taken the opportunity to repeatedly increase advertising costs, but it has not been able to stop the enthusiasm of advertisers. These people would rather spend a lot more money to get it for less than twenty seconds.
With the hit of "Blue Life and Death Love", KBS can be said to have made a lot of money. That's it, every time Zhang Jinhe saw Cui Zhengyuan, he kept complaining about his black heart.
When the two sides first negotiated, KBS ceded the overseas distribution rights to A.P because they thought they were making a big deal.
Who knows, with the help of this shareholder wind, A.P Company has successfully promoted "Blue Life and Death Love" to all countries and regions in East Asia and Southeast Asia. A.P earned a net of 40 billion won from the copyright proceeds alone. This is not counting the income from the sale of CDs and merchandise.
Faced with Zhang Jinhe's complaints, Cui Zhengyuan could only smile, he had already eaten the meat in his mouth, and he still wanted him to spit it out? Don't talk about him, even Pan Jingzhen can't do it.
Lee Hui C's election for president requires a huge amount of money, and relying on Hyundai Motor Group alone is indeed a bit stressful.
As a result, the C.J Group provided an additional $15 billion in campaign funding. Jung Kyung-sam fully supports Park Geun-H, and Lee Jae-hyun and Jung Meng-z are ambiguous. The money had to come from the C.J Group. However, the current liquidity of the headquarters is not much, so Pan Jingzhen wants to take some of it from the A.P company.
With the experience of his previous life, Cui Zhengyuan knew that Li Huic had no hope of succeeding in the election at all, and he didn't want to spend this unjust money at all. No matter how much Pan Jingzhen wore out his lips and repeated the stakes, he was unmoved. For this reason, the mother and son also had a cold war for a month.
Zuihou, Cui Zhengyuan doesn't see it as a way to go on like this. Through the relationship of the First Investment Company, Li Mbo ran 10 billion campaign funds for the mayor of Hancheng, which can be regarded as easing the Cold War relationship with his mother.
At that time, Zheng Mengj had already begun to be investigated by the Supreme Procuratorate of South Korea, and his every move was monitored. Li Mbo lacks this strong reinforcement, and he is quite weak in follow-up. Getting this 10 billion is like a long drought and a rainstorm, and it is rejuvenated.
In the latest polls, his approval rating far exceeds that of his rivals. If nothing else, the election of mayor of Seoul is a certainty.
Li Mbo, who had already decided the overall situation, deliberately took time out to meet with Cui Zhengyuan in private, and thanked him for his timely help.
It was Choi Ki-chan who was present at the time, and he praised his son's courage and vision.
Since becoming a member of the Board of Directors of the Party of the Grand National Party, he has been deeply aware of the shortcomings of the largest party in South Korea. I don't believe that the big GJ party, which is weak in power, can compete with the MZ party in the new millennium, which has the full support of the incumbent President Kim Dae-z.
However, Li Mbo, a rising star, has begun to show his glory and has a bright future.
However, neither he nor Pan Jingzhen have the right to be autonomous, and they must obey the orders of the family.
Choi Ki-chan needs to have the orders of the old man Choi Wu-ryong to act, and Pan Jingzhen must also follow Ban Ki-moon's instructions. In such a situation, personal opinion does not matter.
Choi Moo-ryong and Ban Ki-W were puzzled by Choi Jung-won's act of providing Lee M-bo with large sums of political cash, and couldn't figure out what this grandchild, Weishenme, had done since childhood. For this reason, Cui Wulong also specially summoned Cui Zhengyuan back and conducted some interrogation.
Of course, Cui Zhengyuan can't say that he was reborn, knowing that Li Huic has no chance of winning, and Li Mbo is a potential stock.
Fortunately, he is also paying attention to the general election these days, and he is an insider, so he knows a lot of unknown insiders from the outside world. The comprehensive results are inferred backwards, the natural context is clear, and the overall situation is clear.
After listening to Cui Zhengyuan's analysis, the old man Cui Wulong was silent for a long time, and he temporarily agreed with his approach.
As for giving up support for Li Huic, whether it is a betrayal or not, Cui Wulong didn't care about it at all. Politics is like this, when it is good, everyone flocks to the ladder, and when it is unfavorable, everyone withdraws. It's not a shameless breach of trust, it's just a simple choice of interests.
Of course, Cui Wulong does not completely regard Cui Zhengyuan's words as correct, everything depends on the facts. At least his choice is very cautious and has been on the sidelines. Let Cui Zhengyuan make the wind and rain, just don't see it. Anyway, the junior did it, and if he got out of the basket, he would have room to maneuver.
Time has proved that Choi Zhengyuan's approach is correct. By April, Lee Hui C had already begun to show his decline, not to mention fighting with the outside, even compared with Park Geun H and Zheng Mengz, they were already a little powerless. Some of the consortia that originally supported him have turned to support the latter two.
The Cui family made a wise decision to avoid the danger of the Cui family sinking with the broken ship of Li Huic. By this time, the whole family had begun to pay attention to his opinion. For the first time, Choi Jung-won has a say in family affairs.
When everyone in the Choi family was inclined to turn their heads in favor of Park Geun-H or Jung Mong-z, Choi Jung-won offered a different opinion. That is, we will fully support the election of Lee M-bo as mayor of Seoul and adopt a wait-and-see attitude towards the presidential election.
According to him, neither Park Geun H nor Jung Mong Z currently has the strength to compete with Roh Moo X, so there is no need to waste resources.
Moreover, the Cui family has always been Li Hui's faction before. rashly turned his head to support the latter two, even if someone else is in power, the Cui family is not a core interest group, and it will not reap much benefit at all.
Rather than this, it is better to lie dormant for the time being and urge Li Mbo to take the position. At the same time, taking advantage of the political wrestling of the major chaebols, we will make every effort to develop the economy and seize market share.
Li Mbo and Li Hui C belong to the same lineage, and Li Hui C is also Li Mbo's political leader. The Cui family is not a change of court if this is done, and there will be no stain on their reputation. There's really no better deal than that.
Li Hui's lack of skills to return to heaven is nothing more than a dying struggle, which makes both Ban Jiw and Pan Jingzhen lose confidence in him. Therefore, the contradiction between Pan Jingzhen and Cui Zhengyuan's mother and son can be regarded as officially resolved. Everyone coordinated and began to support Li Mbo's ascension.
After many days of cold war, Cui Zhengyuan also breathed a sigh of relief. If this continues, Choi Jung-won doesn't know what to do. It's not just a matter of having a temper tantrum and emotions, the point is that it has begun to affect normal work.
Guo Zairong has urged himself many times to solve the problem of the release of the movie as soon as possible. The filming of "My Sassy Girlfriend" has all ended a few days ago, and post-production is currently underway. For such a simple romance film, the editing work is very simple, and it is estimated that it will be officially completed in May.
Although the conflict between mother and son is resolved, it is still a little embarrassing to meet like this. You must know that in the past ten years, Cui Zhengyuan has never blushed with his mother. This time there are so many stakes involved that this situation has come to this.
But the work was urgent, and there was no way, so Cui Zhengyuan had to rush to the headquarters of C.J Group to meet his mother.
When C.J Group was reorganized, Cui Zhengyuan discussed with Pan Jingzhen.
Due to the sheer size of the cinema chain system, a large number of resources are required to maintain and operate. In such a case, it would be inappropriate to include it in A.P.
If it is part of A.P Company, the largest unit size of the cinema system can only be the department, which is parallel with the film and television production department, music production department, performing arts department and other departments.
The problem is that the cinema chain is not for A.P alone. No matter how efficient the film and television production department is, it can't produce a few works a year. In this case, the largest movie theater chain in Korea will be completely vacant. Over the course of a year, I don't know how much money I'm going to lose. If you undertake the work of an outside film company, and then in the name of A.P, it will definitely make people worry.
Therefore, the agreed result is that the film line selection system is directly under the jurisdiction of the headquarters and exists in the name of the branch. However, this branch only has the right to operate on a day-to-day basis, and business cooperation can only be carried out with the consent of the head office. In other words, this right is in the hands of Pan Jingzhen.
It is worth mentioning that the current C.J Group is not yet called this name. Its current name is called First Sugar Group, and its main business scope is still mainly food processing, feed production, pharmaceuticals, etc.
After the C.J Group became independent from CheilJedang, it officially changed its name to CJ.Entertainment at the beginning of this year at the suggestion of Choi Jung-won. As the name suggests, this is a cultural company focusing on entertainment and media.
The portfolio includes the integrated MNET cable television station, A.PEntertainment Entertainment, CJ. CGV Cinema Line, Dream.Line and other branches of a comprehensive large-scale media group.
At this point, it can be said that CJ.Entertainment has nothing to do with CheilJedang. This is a brand-new economic group with the Cui family holding the majority of the shares, and it also represents the official end of the decades-old cooperative relationship between the Cui family and the Li family, and the beginning of independent business operations.
In this regard, Lee Kun-hee, chairman of Samsung Group, has made strong support.
Currently, the president of CheilJedang is Jung Kyung-sam, and the vice president is Lee Jae-hyun.
Among them, Lee Jae-hyun is the son of Lee Kun-hee's eldest brother, Lee Meng-hee, and has always been at odds with Lee Kun-hee. The two sides have been in dispute over property since Lee Byung-cheol's death.
Under such circumstances, Lee Kun-hee would love to see the Choi family and First Sugar go their separate ways. Especially in recent years, the Cui family has begun to exert force in the political arena and has gradually become popular. Without the support of the Choi family, Lee Jae-hyun will find it difficult to pose a big threat to the Samsung Lee family.
Lee Jae-hyun is also aware of this and has been strongly opposed to the renaming of C.J Group. It's a pity that Choi Jung-won has already made up his mind to get the family out of Lee Jae-hyun's unreliable broken ship.
In order to be grateful for the independence of the Cui family, Samsung Group handed over a series of electronic product endorsements to A.P Company. This includes the one that made Choi Jung-won discover Jung Hyung-don, Kim Jong-kook's endorsement of Samsung's mobile phone.
After a series of advertising endorsements, A.P's net income of 5 billion won is a legend that Korean entertainment companies cannot surpass in recent years. To this end, A.P Company dispatched a total of Kim Jong Kook, Lee Jung-hyun, Song Hye Kyo, Won Bin, Jun Ji-hyun, Cha Tae-hyun, Yoo Jae-seok and other stars who can be of the highest grade.
At the headquarters of C.J Group, Cui Zhengyuan is familiar with the road. didn't even need to say hello, and went straight to Pan Jingzhen's office on the top floor.
Just as he was about to push the door in, the door was suddenly opened from the inside, and a man came out in a huff. If it weren't for Cui Zhengyuan's quick reaction and letting go to the side, maybe the two would have collided together.
That person didn't expect that there would be someone at the door, and he was just about to open his mouth to reprimand, but when he looked up and saw that it was Cui Zhengyuan, he held back. But he still snorted angrily, didn't even say hello, turned around and left.
Cui Zhengyuan frowned in displeasure, staring at the distant back with an infiltrating gaze.
This person he knew, Son Kyung-sik, one of the vice presidents of CheilJedang.
He and Lee Jae-hyun have always been inseparable from Meng and echoed each other. After the name change of CheilJedang, he was also one of the representatives of the group.
However, in this life, Choi Jung-won preemptively used the name of C.J on his side, presumably Lee Jae-hyun would not have changed the name of CheilJedang to C.J Group as long as he was not hit by a pig. Otherwise, wouldn't you become a subordinate of a media company? He, Lee Jae-hyun, is so arrogant and arrogant, how can he endure picking up people's teeth. As for what name he will change to First Sugar in the future, it is not within Cui Zhengyuan's consideration.
Sun Kyung-sik came here and left angrily. You don't have to think about it, you know that there must have been a serious conflict with Pan Jingzhen. The status has reached their level, and the emphasis is on joy and anger. A gaffe like his today must have something very important going on.
