Chapter 177: Dinner
Soon after Lin Yi drove Mingjing Nam home, a message came in from his mobile phone, which was the address of the hotel sent by Park Jin-young.
"Xiao Nan, Yuan Ying, let's go out for dinner today, you two go change clothes."
"Oba, where are you going?" Minami Nai asked.
"Your president wants to invite me to dinner, so I think I want to talk about something."
"Our president? JYP?」
"Well, I talked to him for a while today before I came to you."
"Oh, okay."

Lin Yi took his sisters to the address in the message, this is a chain of barbecue restaurants, but this shop looks bigger, with two floors, and the decoration inside is also better, and the business is also very hot, and there are many people waiting at the door.
Lin Yi took out the phone and called Park Jinying, and then took Mingjing Nam and Zhang Yuanying to a private room on the second floor of the barbecue restaurant.
As soon as Lin Yi entered the door, he found that in addition to Park Jin-young and Bae Su-ji, there was also a middle-aged man in the room, who looked much older than Park Jin-young.
As soon as Lin came in, Park Zhenying stood up and introduced:
"Director Lin, come, let me introduce you, this is Hong Shengcheng, the president of CUBE Entertainment."
"Brother Shengcheng, this is Director Lin Yi that I mentioned to you, and he is also the chairman of the KaKao Group." Park Jin-young is 7 years younger than Hong Seung-sung.
"Hello, President Hong."
"Hello, President Lin."
The two shook hands amicably.
For Hong Seung-sung, the directors of JYP are nothing to care about, but the chairman of the KaKao Group really needs to make him pay attention.
After a few people sat down, Mingjing Nan was still a little restrained in the face of his own president and seniors, but he soon relaxed in Pei Xiuzhi's deliberate friendship, the two were not much different in age, and they were the same age, so the task of barbecue was handed over to the two of them.
Park Jin-young poured a glass of wine for Lin Yi, and then said, "Director Lim may not know that Brother Seung-sung used to be the president of JYP, and then went out to start CUBE on his own after leaving the company."
"Oh, yes." Lin Yi felt a little incredible, he looked at Park Zhenying meaningfully, this is all independent from your company, can the relationship be so good?
may also have seen Lin Yi's doubts, Park Zhenying explained: "Brother Shengcheng left JYP because of a conflict with some shareholders of the company about business philosophy, so I also agreed with him to leave at that time."
Lin nodded and said that he had this kind of trouble when he first started his business in the United States, but he was more tough at the time, and he also had a lot of shares, so he was not swayed by those shareholders.
"Chairman Lin, in fact, the part of JYP shares you hold now was still witnessed by me back then." Hong Shengcheng said.
"Huh? Really?" Lin Yi looked at Hong Shengcheng in surprise, this was something he didn't expect.
"Yes, if I'm not mistaken, that Mr. Lin should be your father."
Lin nodded.
Others were also attracted to this topic, especially Zhang Yuanying, who took Larin Yi's arm and asked, "Oba, is Uncle talking about Abba?"
"Well, yes." Lin Yi replied, and he also guessed that maybe it was Zhang Yuanying's mother who his father knew at that time.
Maybe he saw that Lin Yi didn't seem to mention this topic a little, so Hong Shengcheng didn't mention it again. However, he still glanced at Zhang Yuanying in surprise, and at the same time he was a little amazed in his heart, he knew that Mr. Lin was a very successful Chinese businessman. In the eyes of that person, JYP may be no different from a small workshop.
A few people chatted while eating, and soon, there were several more empty wine bottles on the table.
"Director Lin, I asked you out this time, and I also want to talk to you about some things." Park Jin-young said after giving Lin Yi a glass of wine.
"President Park, please speak."
Lin Yi was not surprised, he had already thought of it.
Park Zhenying first drank a glass of wine by himself, and then said with some bitterness:
"Now JYP company has encountered the kind of situation that Brother Shengcheng encountered back then, many shareholders in the company have begun to point fingers, the company's current business situation is very unsatisfactory, and the performance has declined seriously, and I am not afraid of Chairman Lin's jokes, JYP's revenue for the whole year last year was less than 15 billion won."
Lin nodded and motioned for Park Jin-young to continue.
"At the company meeting a few days ago, these people proposed to the company to buy back the shares in their hands, and I agreed, but now the funds in my hands are not so sufficient, and I also found Brother Shengcheng, and his current company does not have much capital, and it just so happens that Director Lin came to the company today, I want to ask, does KaKao Group intend to acquire a part of JYP's shares?"
"How much is this share?"
"Those people's shares add up to 27%, and Brother Shengcheng and I can buy back 7%, leaving 20%."
Lin thought at the beginning that JYP's current market value is about 120 billion won, and 20% is more than 20 billion won, which is not much money for Lin Yi or KaKao.
It's just that Lin Yi currently has 7% of JYP shares in his hand, and this plus 20% is a bit much, which should be more than Park Zhenying's, so it is a good idea to let KaKao Group acquire it.
"Well, President Park, I'll go back and ask the other people in the company for their opinions." To be honest, Lin Yi didn't really want KaKao to acquire the shares of the three major brokerage companies, after all, he still had a Starship Entertainment, which was also a competitor.
"Okay, then I'll wait for the good news from Director Lin." Park Jin-young also understands that this kind of thing cannot be easily negotiated at the wine table.
Hong Shengcheng also saw on the side that Lin Yi was lacking in interest, after all, the current JYP company and KaKao Group are not comparable at all, which is a bit of an intention to hug his thighs.
At the end of the meal, although several people also drank a lot of wine, Lin Yi actually didn't feel anything, and he was still very sober.
"President Lin, please come and visit CUBE another day when you have time." Before parting, Hong Shengcheng invited.
"Yes, I'll visit." Lin Yi agreed.
"Then I'll be waiting for you."
Lin Yi said goodbye to Park Jin-young, Hong Seung-sung, and Bae Su-ji at the door of the hotel, and found a substitute driver to send them home.
After Lim Yi and the others left, Hong Seung-sung looked at Park Jin-young and asked, "Jin-young, do you think Chairman Lim can agree to KaKao Group's acquisition of JYP's shares?"
"I can't say for sure, Brother Shengcheng, you may not know that Lin Yixi is also the chairman of a listed company in the United States, and the market value of this company is close to 20 billion US dollars."
"Huh? Really?" Hong Shengcheng can also understand why Lin Yi was not very interested in JYP just now, which is not even a fraction of others.
Pei Xiuzhi was also shocked and speechless when she listened to it on the side, she didn't expect Lin Yi to have such a big background.
"Yes, now you know why I want him to buy JYP's shares, because he really doesn't like JYP as a company, so I don't worry about what he thinks about the company, and with this background, JYP's development will be faster, and we can also take advantage of the trend to break into the American market." Although Park Jin-young said this is a bit bitter, it is indeed a good thing.
"It's really hard to imagine, Zhenying, in fact, I didn't say just now, this President Lin has other backgrounds."
"Does Brother Shengcheng know anything?" Park Jin-young is also a little curious.
"Didn't I just say that the JYP shares in his hands now were the ones I witnessed back then, and the assets of Mr. Lin, who bought this part of the shares back then, are almost billions of Huaxia coins." Hong Shengcheng sighed.
"This.

Several people were messy in the wind.
