"William Wang, it's been a long time!"

"It's been a long time, five or six years, right?"

"yes!"

The next morning, in the cubicle of the Cat's Paw Cafe, William Wang met Fang Shihe, who had been invited to meet him.

This is also the second and last person William Wang has returned to the peninsula to meet during the gap between filming and fashion week.

Hong Shengcheng didn't plan to meet him at all, but just called Hong Shengcheng and told him that he was busy preparing Dreamcatcher's songs recently, and it was estimated that he would not have much energy left to write songs for others in a short time.

Fang Shihe here, originally William Wang also planned to make a phone call, and then refused to do it.

It's just that this person who had a good conversation with William Wang before and helped William Wang a little, and the stubbornness of that kind of artist made him not want to give up because of William Wang's refusal, but still insisted on talking to William Wang.

William Wang was really embarrassed not to even agree to this request.

After all, if it weren't for Fang Shihe's help, maybe illiam entertainment wouldn't exist, and many things might not be what they are now.

So, only half an hour after the call, William Wang, who had just walked to the café, saw Fang Shihe, who came in a hurry.

"You're really busy!" Fang Shihe sighed softly, and as a result, he was a little cold because of his emotion. "It's not easy to see you, I heard you're going to fly to Paris tonight?"

"Well, yes, just came back from filming in the United States."

"When I helped Li Zhina introduce those friends and relationships, I really didn't expect illiam entertainment to develop to this point!"

"I didn't even think of it. It can only be said that it is lucky, right? I went to Hollywood and pitched a movie, and then it became popular. William Wang smiled slightly. Fortunately, our eyesight has always been good, so ...... That's where it is today. ”

The first trick between the two ends.

Merit and statement.

Fang Shihe wanted to ask for credit for helping to establish illiam entertainment before, and then exchange some benefits from William Wang, and William Wang said to Fang Shihe that illiam entertainment can have the relationship you introduced today, mainly relying on investment in the United States, and there is not much help in China.

It's all the truth, so it's a tie.

"Yes! I don't have you...... Well, especially if you don't have the good luck of Li Zhina! Fang Shihe continued, "The investors I met were either impatient or had no vision......

"In fact, it mainly depends on the operation, and investors generally don't do anything." William Wang shook his head, "Li Zhi's actions are indeed very measured, and it is also reassuring. ”

The second move, Fang Shihe planned to make a sycophant.

Then it was truncated by William Wang's lazy waist.

"Well, indeed, the group of Dreamcatcher children who can follow him are also lucky, and there is a very reliable president." Fang Shihe could only nod, "Unlike those trainees who were admitted to our company, now that the company is about to run out of money, they don't know what to do in the future." ”

"Anyway, there are so many brokerage companies on the peninsula, and there are not many trainees who can make their debut, so let's treat it as if they have experienced a different life by themselves!"

"But the quality of this group of children is still okay, if they can't make their debut...... I also feel a little sorry. ”

"If the quality is really good, you can recommend them to try it in another company! It's gold that shines everywhere! Like us Dreamcatcher, and JYP picked it up? William Wang continued with a smile, "It's not a big deal! If there are girls with good quality, they can also recommend them to come to our company for an interview......"

I can't talk about it this day.

Fang Shihe felt that he could almost give up.

The third wave of pretending to be pitiful hasn't had time to play their cards yet, and the opposite side has already played out their countermeasures.

"Okay, let's do less routines." William Wang looked at Fang Shihe, who didn't know what to say for a while, and was happy.

"If my company goes bankrupt like this, I won't be reconciled." Fang Shihe glanced at William Wang and said seriously.

"You owe a lot of money?"

"More than three billion." Fang Shihe nodded.

“…… Dollar? ”

"......" Fang Shihe glanced at William Wang and didn't answer.

"It's not a dollar, is it?" William Wang realized that he seemed to have unintentionally attacked again, and this sentence was a bit ridiculous.

"That's three million dollars when you convert it to dollars." Fang Shihe shook his head, "Our company doesn't have any artists who can handle it for the time being, and this debt can't recover the cost." ”

"Not really...... But wasn't your company supposed to be founded at about the same time as illiam Entertainment? It's been a few years, why haven't there been artists yet? ”

"I said that my luck was not as good as Li Zhi's." Fang Shihe sighed, "At the beginning, I was also recruiting trainees, and the plan was the same as illiam entertainment. But the problem is that I don't have a trainee like Hyuna who has already been out of the Tao once and has some reputation, and I don't have someone like you who can become the company's signboard. So when recruiting trainees, I didn't meet many good seedlings, and I was different from the people who could see that they had the potential to become stars at a young age like Irene, IU, etc., and I had a ...... there. Do not say. So in the first two years, I could only concentrate on trainee training, and the company didn't have much money in the account, purely relying on a lot of energy. But after two or three years passed, I found that I was more and more afraid to arrange for the debut of the trainees, for fear that they would not be able to do it, that they would be embarrassed, and that they would destroy my last hope here......"

"Well, I understand that feeling." William Wang nodded.

"Then, the first batch of trainees who entered the company couldn't stay up and chose to leave the company in the second half of last year." Fang Shihe let out a long sigh, "Then the person who invested in me couldn't stand it anymore and chose to withdraw his capital." ”

"So your company is now just an empty shell?"

"There are a few more trainees." Fang Shihe nodded, "It's quite loyal to follow me, so I feel more and more sorry for them, otherwise I would simply close the company and find a place to work like Kim Hyung-seok." ”

"You're okay, diss, what are our music directors doing......" William Wang shook his head with a speechless smile, "So how much money do you need?" ”

"Five billion." Fang Shihe had a serious expression on his face, "I can give 49% of the shares to the company." ”

"It's not a lot of money, but it's not a good deal." William Wang also became serious and replied seriously: "Your company does not have any profitability, and there are fixed expenses for employees and trainees every month...... Because there are only two or three trainees left, you can't directly arrange for someone to debut, right? In other words, if you put money into it, you just continue to burn, do you think there will really be someone willing to invest money in you? ”

“…… It should be ...... in another year or two."

"You're going to recruit trainees again, right? Then continue training and then re-prepare for debut. William Wang continued to say seriously, "It's exactly the same process as the previous one you have to go through, how can you make people believe that you can do it within two years?" ”

Be quiet.

"You're right." Fang Shihe let out a long sigh.

"So, you have to be able to show people that you can make money." William Wang said lightly.

"But I don't have enough reliable trainees here!" Fang Shihe shook his head. "Even if you want to push the group out, you don't have a chance to do it!"

“…… Well, so be it. William Wang thought for a while, "Our company's Dreamcatcher is going to transform this year, and you can be a producer for them." ”

“…… What do you mean? ”

"Let me and Li Zhina see how capable you are of pushing people and building momentum." William Wang said lightly: "Including writing songs, you are also responsible for it, just as this transformation is a relaunch of a new group." ”

"Exams?" Fang Shihe understood.

"Yes." William Wang nodded, "When illiam Entertainment was established, Li Zhi told me that your ability in composition is beyond doubt, but the question is whether you can be a graded producer and not just look at how well the songs are written, I hope you understand." How it works and the hype, it's all part of it. If this doesn't work well, I'm really just investing money in you to pay off the debt you helped us set up Illiam Entertainment in the first place. That doesn't make much sense, does it? ”

"But the question is, are you sure Kim Hyung-seok has no problem with this?" Fang Shihe looked at William Wang with a strange expression. "Dreamcatcher is a child he cultivated, and I've heard him say that more than once. If I interfere now, he will hold a grudge against me and yours. ”

“……”

"If it was another group, I could accept it, but this girl group ...... Unless I don't want to be friends with Kim Hyung-seok in the future, I will never agree. Fang Shihe said seriously.

"You're not afraid that you won't get investment from me because of this?"

“…… Compared to the company, I think my friendship with Kim Hyung-seok is more important. ”

"More important than the kids in your company?"

"I really can't do it anymore, children, I can recommend it to other economic companies, but some friends ......" Fang Shihe shook his head seriously, "If you lose it, you will never meet it again." ”

"Okay." William Wang smiled, "You go and tell Li Zhina, I promised to invest." ”

“…… Promised? ”

"Hmm." William Wang nodded, "Just a person like you, even if you lose all the money I invested in you, you will come to our company to work hard for me and return the money to me." Don't worry. ”

"......" Fang Shihe opened his mouth and didn't say anything.

"Any other questions? If not...... So be it. William Wang was about to stand up and left.

"Something wrong with you? In such a hurry? Isn't the plane at night? Fang Shihe's brain couldn't turn for a while.

I just didn't know what was going on, and I got the investment in a daze, and now the investor is leaving.

Under normal circumstances, shouldn't you have to bargain for half a day, and then tell yourself all kinds of demands for half a day?

He is ready to negotiate the compensation for the land cession today!

How is it so easy......

"The specific thing must be that Li Zhina talked to you, the company operates these things, I ...... I'm not interested in asking. William Wang shook his head.

Originally, he was going to say that he didn't understand, but after thinking about it, it was too embarrassing to say so.

"But...... Can my company not be listed under the illiam entertainment banner? Fang Shihe said with some embarrassment: "I still hope to ......"

"It's easy to talk about the face problem, anyway, when your company plans to go public, you will consider whether these shares are listed in my private name or under the name of illiam entertainment, or I will get a holding company to control them...... None of this is a problem. William Wang waved his hand, "If you go out directly now and say that I personally invested in you, Li Zhina will not refute it, but he will help me take care of it." ”

He was well aware of Fang Shihe's mentality.

After all, Li Zhi was his junior, and even illiam entertainment was established with his help, but after a few years, he has become a subsidiary of the junior company...... It's really embarrassing to say it.

Even this is a very bad topic for his company to launch artists in the future.

"Hmm...... In this case, Li Zhi will not be happy, right? When Fang Shihe heard this, his heart relaxed for the most part.

"He won't." William Wang said with a smile: "He just thinks that investing in you will not make money, so he doesn't dare to invest, but if he doesn't invest and feels sorry, he will kick the ball to me." Since I have already agreed to help him carry this unprofitable pot, he will definitely be happy to help you. After all, there are still a lot of people who know that they have a favor to repay......"

"It's not necessarily that you're going to lose money......" Fang Shihe was a little sneering.

"Then you come up with a project that can make money!" William Wang is really going home, "Go and tell Li Zhina, I really want to go back." ”

“…… Someone waiting for you at home? "Even if Fang Shihe is famous for his poor eyesight, he has already seen it now.

"Hmm."

"Then you go!" Fang Shihe shook his head with a smile, "Oh, by the way, thank you!" ”

William Wang smiled and nodded, and left the café directly.

I trotted all the way home and got home.

"Well, less than an hour!"

I opened the door of my house and saw Kim Taeyeon waiting for me at the door of my house.

"Well, fifty-eight minutes...... It's almost an hour. Kim Taeyeon, who was standing there with her watch, said in a very regretful tone.

"Why, do you really want me not to go to Paris to go with you to the island?" Looking at Kim Taeyeon's regretful expression, Wang William was happy, "Then I won't go to Paris, I'll go back to the island country with you!" ”

"I'm just talking about it...... I just want to see how your braggadocio ends. Kim Tae-yeon put the watch back on her wrist and sat back on the couch.

"What's the end of? I won't go to Paris if it doesn't work out for an hour! I don't really want to go anyway. William Wang sat down next to Kim Taeyeon with a smile.

"Don't! I can't afford to interfere with your work. Kim Taeyeon shook her head, "By the way, OPPA, I just found out that strange ritual you performed on me last night when I was taking a shower, and it doesn't seem to be useful!" ”

“…… How so? This ritual must be useful! William Wang was stunned.

"No! Some things haven't changed back to a year ago. ”

“…… How have you changed this year? William Wang looked at Kim Taeyeon, "It's only been a year, the change can't be so drastic, right?" ”

"Oops...... Anyway, some of them haven't changed back......" Kim Taeyeon actually just wanted to change the subject, "By the way, OPPA, you can continue to tell me about the other things about the ceremony you performed yesterday, you didn't say anything last night." ”

"Do I not say it, or do you ignore me?"

"Yikes! OPPA: Are you talking about human words? It's just how much blood I've shed...... The listener is weird and awkward. Kim Taeyeon glanced at William Wang, "Okay, let's talk about that ceremony, does it have anything to do with the little girl you did before?" It's the little girl who the nine-tailed fox told me that you left me at home in the middle of the night to save me......"

"It is, but how does it feel so awkward to come out of your mouth? Don't tell me you're still jealous? ”

"Nonsense! I've told you, I'm just pretending to be very generous every time, and I've quietly written down what you've done to be sorry for me, and I've always turned it out to remind myself. Kim Tae-yeon snorted.

“…… Where's that little notebook of yours? I'm going to tear it up for you. ”

"In the head!"

"You wait for me to control your brain and wash that out......"

"Yikes! Don't you dare! ”

……

In this way, a day passed in the gag of the two.

Maybe it's really because I haven't seen each other for a few months, so that there are more words between two people who talk to each other every day, and it's different from the way the two people were just quietly doing their own things at home before, and in this daytime, the two people are almost talking and chatting all the time.

It wasn't until the evening when William Wang was about to leave for the airport that he drove the car again, took Kim Taeyeon out of his home and came to the airport.

Because William Wang was going to Paris and was taking a plane from Incheon, it was not particularly easy to buy a ticket for Kim Taeyeon, who was going to the island country: the plane from S City to Osaka usually departed from Gimpo Airport, so Kim Taeyeon could only buy a ticket to Tokyo, and then transfer from Tokyo to Osaka.

Because he felt embarrassed, William Wang could only promise Kim Taeyeon to go to Paris to attend the press conference this time, and he would definitely find a way to help her get the latest bag back from the C brand......

Then Kim Tae-yeon, who was still complaining and planning to nag William Wang well, immediately shut up.

Then after separating from William Wang, they continued their own journeys as artists.
