PS: Thank you for the tip!
Because of his heart, Cui Zhengyuan was completely in chaos at the next dinner, and he had no intention of socializing at all.
After finishing the party, when he returned, he deliberately looked at the time and found that it was only eleven o'clock in the middle of the night, so he took out the phone and called Li Zaizhen. "Brother, have you slept? Come out and invite you to drink. ”
The place where the two met was in Choi Jung-won's villa in Mapo, which he doesn't come to all year round, so it's very quiet.
As soon as Lee Jae-jin came in, he threw himself into the sofa and asked suspiciously, "What kind of wind are you smoking?" How can there be a reason to ask someone out in the middle of the night? Besides, it's just the two of us drinking, and it's not lively. ”
After taking out the treasured Martell and filling the two wine glasses respectively, Cui Zhengyuan sat opposite him. "I'm in such a hurry to call you out, there must be something."
Taking a sip of red wine, Lee Jae-jin pointed at Cui Zhengyuan with his finger, looking like he had expected it. "I knew you weren't going to be unkind. Say, what do you need help with? ”
Cui Zhengyuan shook his head and said, "I either need help, or I need to consult my brother about something." ”
Li Zaizhen's brows furrowed, and his expression became a little more solemn.
People like them, if they say they want to help, it won't be a big deal. So under normal circumstances, I will be very bold to agree.
But the more this is the case, the stricter the problem becomes, and he can't help but be careless.
Over the years, Cui Zhengyuan's career has become bigger and bigger, and he seems to have become a big man on the same level as his Lao Tzu, and gradually showed the posture of a hero in the shopping mall.
There's nothing wrong with being cautious when dealing with people like that.
This is not to say that there is anything wrong with the friendship between Lee Jae-jin and Choi Jung-won, but that there are some differences in the way they interact with each other with the different status of people.
Seeing Lee Jae-jin's cautious appearance, Cui Zhengyuan knew that he couldn't make it clear if he didn't make it clear. "Brother, is the Central Daily planning to set up a TV station?"
Lee Jae-jin was stunned. Rhetorical question: "You don't know?" ”
Several of South Korea's most influential media outlets, such as JoongAng Ilbo, Chosun Ilbo, Dong-A Ilbo, and Mail-Keizai, are moving around to promote the opening of the comprehensive channel and then the establishment of a television station.
Lee Jae-jin never thought that Cui Zhengyuan, who was an insider, would not know.
"Haven't I been abroad for a while now, and I haven't had time to ask about many things in China." Choi Jeong-won explained.
The C.J Group is now getting bigger and bigger, and the links between the various branches are getting weaker and weaker. Even if they do not affect each other, they do not affect the normal operation of the branch.
Although he is currently the executive director of the C.J Group in addition to the executive director of A.P., he does not have time to take care of it as long as he is busy.
For example, the opening of the comprehensive channel this time. In fact, it belongs to the category that HBC TV should be concerned about. So no one informed him, and his sources inevitably lagged behind.
Thinking of this, Cui Zhengyuan also had a little resentment towards Li Haoyu.
This guy didn't even tell him about such a big thing.
Lee Jae-jin nodded, indicating that he understood, and then said the matter. "We, the Central Daily, have almost planned it, just waiting for the resolution of the release committee, and the TV station will start broadcasting immediately. It's just that now the good talents have been distributed by you and the ground, so we have to spend unjustly money to poach people everywhere. ”
Cui Zhengyuan didn't hear his later words. Instead, he asked: "Brother, as far as you know, which media will be able to qualify in the end?" ”
Historically, one of the media outlets that eventually established a comprehensive channel was four outlets. That is, the four mentioned above. But before that, there was much more to the competition.
In the end, these four relied on their strong financial resources and extensive influence to fight their way out of the encirclement and grab the delicious cake.
Lee Jae-jin somewhat understood what Choi Jeong-won meant. smiled and said tentatively: "What, your C.J Group is also interested in entering the comprehensive channel?" Brother, save it. You already have HBC under your umbrella. The Commission will not let you get involved in the comprehensive editing channel again. ”
What he said made a lot of sense, and in the case of terrestrial broadcasting, it was impossible for the release committee to allow the C.J Group to get involved in the omnibus channel under any circumstances.
It's just that Cui Zhengyuan didn't have any ideas, and said with a smile: "We can't enter the comprehensive editing channel at HBC, but can't "Central Daily"?" ”
Lee Jae-jin sat up straight all of a sudden, glared at Choi Jung-won and asked, "What do you mean?" ”
Cui Zhengyuan glanced at him and asked, "Brother, what are you doing in such a hurry?" It doesn't seem to have much to do with you, huh? ”
", I'll sue you, the old man has spoken. If the comprehensive editing channel is established, let me be the president, do you think it has a big deal? Lee Jae-jin said with a show-off mind.
Among the children of the Li family, his eldest brother Li Jae-yong established the identity of the heir early, and the future is bright.
The eldest sister, Lee Boo Jin, runs The Shilla Hotel and Samsung Everland, and is also famous as its first female president.
The second sister Li Xuxian also showed her strength in the first wool weaving, and it is no surprise that she will soon be on her own.
The third sister, Li Yinxin, died young, and she has been separated from her family forever.
It can be said that among Lee Kun-hee's children, he is the only one who has nothing to do and plays the role of a gentleman's son.
This time, Lee Kun-hee finally showed mercy and handed over the upcoming comprehensive editing channel to him to take care of. And Lee Jae-jin is also ambitious, vowing to make some achievements for him to see, he is also capable.
That's why when Cui Zhengyuan mentioned the comprehensive editing channel in his words, he was so nervous.
Hearing that Lee Jae-jin will be the president of the comprehensive editing channel, this made Choi Jung-won both happy and surprised. "Yo, brother, are you finally not unemployed?"
", what do you mean by being unemployed? Brother just hasn't enjoyed enough life, and he doesn't want to be tied up early like you, and it's just boring. Now that my brother has rested enough, of course I have to let everyone see that I am really capable. Lee Jae-jin blushed, thinking of putting gold on his face.
Cui Zhengyuan laughed and didn't debunk his cheekiness. "Then congratulations, we will be together in the future, and we must help each other."
Li Zaizhen took a sip of the red wine in the cup and said, "Whoever is walking with you, me and Li Haoyu are walking together." And tell me clearly, what do you want to do with my compilation channel? If you don't make it clear, I'm not done with you. ”
Since he learned that he would be the president, the comprehensive editing channel has become a ban on Lee Jae-jin, and whoever wants to touch it is like his life and death enemy.
Seeing his attitude, Cui Zhengyuan also knew that he had to make it clear. "Brother, didn't you just say that talent is hard to find? Don't forget, we at HBC have talent. How about it, have you ever thought about cooperating? ”
A gleam flashed in Li Zaizhen's eyes and asked, "What kind of cooperation method?" ”
Cui Zhengyuan pursed his lips and proudly said his thoughts. "For the upcoming comprehensive editing channel of JoongAng Daily, we at C.J Group will provide some programming talents to help, but we will allow C.J Group to take a stake in the newly established comprehensive editing channel. Of course, the absolute controlling stake still belongs to your Samsung company. ”
Lee Jae-jin smiled, looking a little repulsive. "The matter of shareholding is exempt, our Samsung is not without money, and it will not be difficult to undertake a comprehensive channel."
Cui Zhengyuan clasped his hands on his chest and pointed out their weaknesses. "But you don't have anybody, and even if you start digging now, it will take time and effort. Besides, none of those families on the ground are eating dry food, so they won't be without reaction. And brother, you can guarantee that your comprehensive editing channel will be able to overwhelm the crowd and overshadow the limelight of those three? ”
His words made Lee Jae-jin fall into silence and be speechless for a long time.
"JoongAng Daily" is very good at media, but its entry into the field of television broadcasting is completely blind and crosses the bridge by touch.
Therefore, although the financial resources are abundant, it will take a lot of effort to win the Chosun Ilbo, Dong-A Ilbo, and Mailout Keizai.
But to sell the shares, to be honest, Lee Jae-jin is really reluctant. After all, the comprehensive editing channel is a piece of meaty and beautiful pie, and everyone wants to eat it alone.
Seeing his hesitation, Cui Zhengyuan knew that his words had a role. But if you want to finalize it, you need to have something final.
So he didn't delay for a moment, and continued to exert his strength: "I believe that the other three are in the same distress as yours, if we C.J Group come to seek cooperation, they may not agree." ”
This is serious, which is equivalent to telling Lee Jae-jin that if you don't want to cooperate with us, then we will go to your competitors.
Ever since he became interested in entering the field of television broadcasting, Lee Jae-jin has worked hard to conduct a detailed investigation into the situation in the Korean broadcasting industry.
But the result surprised him, and he also had a clear understanding of the family of the childhood sweetheart in front of him.
From 2001 to the present, 45 percent of the total output value of the entire Korean television broadcasting field is actually created by this teenager and his C.J Group, which is almost equal to half.
What is this concept? In other words, as long as he stops, the Korean television industry will immediately shrink back to ten years ago.
This situation is terrible, and it also makes Lee Jae-jin understand that today's Korean cultural industry is inseparable from the younger brother in front of him.
He understands the situation, and he believes that the other three must know the same.
If they want to become bigger and stronger in the field of comprehensive editing channels, especially the Samsung Group behind the wealthy "JoongAng Daily", maybe they will take the initiative to seek cooperation with C.J Group.
If there is Cui Zhengyuan's help, it will be very difficult for the comprehensive editing channel of "Central Daily" to become a blockbuster and become the leading boss.
This is Choi Jung-won's weight, which brings heavy pressure to Lee Jae-jin. (To be continued......)
