Chapter 401: Discovery

After receiving Lin Yi's affirmative reply, Kim Tae-yeon's heart also felt a lot better, and she no longer suffered so much.

"Lin Yi, when are we going?"

"This.

。 Wait for me to arrange it. ”

"Okay, then I'll wait, but don't make me wait too long."

"Yes."

After Kim Taeyeon left, Lin Yi rubbed his temples with both hands, his brain hurt a little at the moment, which suddenly gave him another set, making his plan change slightly.

In the afternoon, Lin Yi came to Starship Entertainment, some time ago he only paid attention to those things in the Kakao Group, and he didn't care much here, so he came over today to take a look.

Summoned the heads of several departments, Lin Yi sat in the main seat of the conference room and listened to the work reports of various departments.

Listening to the recent work reports of various departments in Starship Entertainment, Lin Yi nodded with satisfaction, and all work was developing in an orderly manner.

After the heads of all the departments finished speaking, President Choi Ru-jin stood up and said:

"Chairman, the company's planning department recently submitted a plan that I think can be implemented, and I would like to ask for your opinion."

"Well, what's the plan?"

"It's the first family concert of our Starship Entertainment."

"Oh? Tell me more about it. ”

When Lin heard this plan, he became a little interested.

"The company now has 3 groups of girl groups, 1 group of men's groups, and 1 solo singer, and there are many actors in our company who have a very high level of singing, so there are many artists who can perform at this family concert, so you don't have to worry about being cold. In addition, BigHit also has a group of boy groups, BTS, who can also be joined. Holding a family concert can also increase the visibility and influence of our Starship Entertainment. ”

"Well, this plan is okay, when are you going to hold it?" Lin Yi asked again.

"In August, the encroachment on the stadium will be carried out, and the specific time will have to be coordinated with the stadium."

"Yes, are there any difficulties now?"

"Nope."

"Okay, then you're done with this, and don't make any negative news."

"Yes."

"Is there anything else anyone else to say?"

Lin Yi looked at the others.

"President, I have one more thing to ask you." Kim Sang-woo stood up and said.

"Yes, you say."

"It's the company team building I mentioned to you last time, and then I did a questionnaire survey to all the employees of the company, and now everyone has different opinions on where to go for team building, and I can't make up my mind for a while."

"Oh, what are the locations, tell me."

"Jeju Island, Yeosu, Busan, and many employees choose to go abroad."

Kim Sang-woo said with some embarrassment, these places are far away from Seoul, and it is a big expense for so many people to travel, especially some people who want to go abroad.

"Abroad? I won't think about it abroad, it's a big problem for so many people to go out, and I'll talk about it when I have the opportunity later. ”

Lin Yi vetoed this proposal first, not that he was worried about money, but that he would face a lot of problems when he went abroad, especially since Starship now has so many employees and artists, and going out with so many people will definitely cause unnecessary trouble.

If the family concert in August is a success, there will definitely be opportunities to hold this kind of concert abroad in the future, so just build a local team after the concert.

"Well, that's what I thought too."

"In this case, you can send someone to Jeju Island to see if there is a suitable resort of that kind, and it won't take long, about 3 days."

Lim Yi has a good impression of Jeju Island, and the last time he went on a trip with Bae Joo-hyun, it also left him with good memories there.

"Okay, I got it."

Lin Yi looked around at the others again, and when he saw that everyone had no intention of speaking again, he announced the adjournment of the meeting.

After the meeting ended, Lin Yi left Cui Ruzhen behind.

"President, do you have something to tell me?"

"Yes, you remember the last time I told you about bringing in shareholders."

"Remember, which company did you decide to bring in, Chairman?"

"Yes, I have negotiated with the National Pension Fund and CJ Group, each of which will sell 5% of the shares, in addition, Huaxia's Tencent has 5%, Wanda Group has 5%, and I don't plan to introduce it on the RB side, and the United States side, I will sell 20%, so your shares will be diluted somewhat, but you don't have to have any ideas, your shares are fixed at 5%, the same proportion as other shareholders, and your 5% shares will not be diluted in the future."

"Thank you, President, I have no opinion."

Cui Ruzhen has no opinion on Lin Yi's arrangement, after all, when she joined Starship Entertainment, her small company was only worth about 200 million won, and now Starship Entertainment's valuation has long been more than one trillion won, and the value of her shares has increased more than a thousand times.

"Well, when these funds are in place, Starship Entertainment can start the listing plan, and you have to be prepared."

"Going public? It's true? ”

Cui Ruzhen looked a little excited, who doesn't want to be the president of a listed company, it's not just a matter of money, but also a higher social status.

"Yes, but the preparation time for listing will be more than a year, and you also have to develop the company's various businesses well in more than a year."

"Yes, President, I will do my best."

"Well, by the way, how are the recent results of these little girls at gfriend, and what are the plans for the future?"

"The results are not bad, because of the blessing of the talent show, they attracted a lot of attention as soon as they debuted, the number of fans on the official website has now exceeded 300,000, and the best result of the singing show is KBS's "Music Bank", which won the third place. In addition, they will release a second mini-album next month. ”

Lin nodded after hearing this, it is very difficult for the rookie girl group to get one of the singing shows, as far as he knows, it seems that only the entertainment of Girls' Generation, JYP's Missa, YG's 2NE1 have achieved this achievement, and the new girl groups launched by other companies have not won the 1st place when they debuted.

And there are very few singing shows now, and the competition is very fierce.

You must know that there are dozens of men's and women's groups launched by Korean brokerage companies every year, and there are very few who can come out, and most of them are unknown.

Especially for small brokerage companies, it is more difficult to get ahead, and the time and place are favorable, and personal ability is indispensable.

This is why many young people nowadays like to go to big brokerage companies, even if the contract terms are harsh.

At least in a large brokerage company, as long as you can make your debut in the end, you will definitely be popular and make money.

Seeing Lin Yi nodding silently, Cui Ruzhen continued:

"President, those children are in the company now, do you want to meet them?"

"Okay, you can let them come to the office to find me, I haven't seen them for more than half a year."

Lin Yi has never seen these little girls since he returned to Huaxia last year, but during the Chinese New Year, Jin Shizheng sent him a New Year's message.

"Okay, I'll go and inform them."

After Cui Ruzhen left the conference room, it didn't take long for the seven little girls to come to Lin Yi's office tremblingly.

When they heard that the president wanted them to go to the president's office just now, these girls were a little apprehensive in their hearts, for fear that Lin Yi would not be satisfied with their current results and reprimand them.

"It's going to be good."

Jin Shaoqing, as the captain, led the girls to bow respectfully to Lin Yi.

"Alright, stop standing, sit down."

Lin Yi smiled and pointed to the sofa in the reception area.

The girls walked to the reception area and sat down on the sofa, their upper bodies straight and their legs together, everyone looked a little nervous, even Kim Shizheng.

Lin Yi dragged a chair and sat across from the girls, looked at the nervous crowd, and smiled, he knew what it was.

"Don't be nervous, I just came to you today to talk to you."

"President, we have failed to live up to your expectations."

Jin Shaoqing stood up and bowed to Lin Yi again, and the other girls also stood up when they saw their captain like this.

"Sit down, don't mention the past results, in fact, I'm still very satisfied with you."

"Thank you, President."

After the girls sat down again, Lin Yi looked at Jin Shaoqing, he still remembered the first time he saw this little girl, but he didn't expect that in a blink of an eye, she made her debut as the captain of Gfriend.

There is also Jin Shizheng, the little nanny he hired for his sister Zhang Yuanying, and now he has become an idol and is active in the eyes of the public.

There are other girls who are all 17 or 8 years old, and they are going to struggle in this society as idols in the best flower season of their lives.

Lin Yi looked at the girls and sighed a little, if he followed his wishes, he didn't want the girls to make their debut too young, because at this time, they were a very fragile period, both psychologically and physically, and their outlook on life and values were still immature, and they were easily affected by the surrounding environment.

However, Lin Yi can't hinder the girls' dreams, and then delay them until they reach adulthood before making their debut? That seems to erase their efforts over the years.

The 7 girls of gfriend also looked at Lin Yi strangely at this time, why did the president look at them without saying a word, and their eyes were still very strange.

However, they didn't dare to disturb Lin Yi's contemplation.

Soon, Lin Yi came back to his senses, looked at the eyes of the girls looking at him, and knew that he was a little out of shape just now, and then said with a smile:

"I just heard President Choi say that you're going to release a second mini album? Where are you now? ”

Jin Shaoqing heard Lin Yi's inquiry and immediately replied:

"President, now that the song has been recorded, the music video is being filmed."

"Well, what kind of style is your album?"

"President, our mini album is called "Flower Bud", which means flower bud, and the main thing is to show the vitality, freshness and cuteness unique to our gfriend."

"Well, then you can show me a show." Lin Yi said with interest.

"Yes."

Hearing Lin Yi's request, the girls all stood up from the sofa.

After cleaning up a vacant lot in the office, the girls stood up, and Jin Shaoqing took out his mobile phone and connected it to a Bluetooth speaker on the desk.

The music began to play, and the girls began to dance neatly to the music.

[Walks towards you excitedly]

[From today, we]

[Prayer in a dream]

Watching the girls dance and listening to their chanting, Lin Yi had an inexplicable confidence in them, and he believed that these 7 girls would one day reach or approach the glory created by Girls' Generation.

At the end of the song, Lin Yi applauded the girls and gave them a thumbs up. He was very satisfied with the girls' performance and was full of confidence in the song.

The girls saw Lin Yi encouraging them so much, and bowed deeply to him gratefully, they also knew that Gfriend was able to debut so early, and they could have such a good treatment now, all thanks to him.

"You guys just performed a wonderful job, and I love this song too."

Lin Yi encouraged the girls, and then said, "However, I have a small suggestion here. ”

When the girls heard Lin Yi's words, they all set their eyes on him, and they really wanted to get some guidance from him.

Because, they know that the company's predecessor EXID is because of Lin Yi's direct shot, which became popular.

"The dance of your song is indeed very youthful and cute, but it is relatively simple, and there is nothing to attract the attention of the public, and there will be no explosion when you go to participate in some variety shows."

Lin Yi paused after speaking, and let the girls digest his words.

"If you want to stand out from many girl groups and cause a topic, you need something that others haven't done, or something that others don't have, have you ever thought about what you know?"

The girls looked at Lin Yi in confusion and shook their heads.

"So, I'll give you a piece of advice, and ask your dance teacher when you go back."

Hearing this, the girls hurriedly nodded.

"You can speed up the dance you just danced and jump at 1.5 or 2 times the speed, but you still have to keep the movement at the same level, and you can't slacken. In this way, when you go to participate in some programs, you can ask the agent to communicate with the program team in advance, as a demonstration of your specialty, and the follow-up company will also help you hype this point. ”

The seven girls of gfriend were stunned for a moment when they heard Lin Yi's suggestion, and then they suddenly realized.

"Yes, President, we will definitely practice hard when we go back."

Jin Shaoqing replied very seriously, Lin Yi's suggestion could indeed make them impress.

"Well, you guys go back first, and tell your agent about my suggestion."

"Yes."

After the girls left, Lin Yi also called Cui Ruzhen and told him what he thought.

After Cui Ruzhen received this call, she also felt a little admired for Lin Yi's whimsy, she has been worrying about how to push out the gfriend recently, this dance acceleration is indeed a good idea.

At night, Lin Yi was sitting on the sofa in the living room on the first floor and watching TV with Zhang Yuanying.

Suddenly, Minami Nakai, who was playing with two border herders in the yard, shouted, and then saw one side herd running into the house, jumping in front of the TV, and crashing into the TV cabinet at once.

Suddenly, the picture frame and some small decorations on the TV stand crackled and fell over.

Then, I heard a "Kacha", and a glass bottle on the shelf next to the TV cabinet fell to the ground and shattered.

Lin Yi looked at the glass shards on the ground, and really wanted to beat up this troublesome border herd, this was a birthday gift from Kim Jiso.

After Mingjing Nan chased in, she also found that the puppy was in trouble, and hurriedly hugged the puppy nervously, she was afraid that Lin Yi would run away.

Lin Yiqiang suppressed his anger and pointed to the door, meaning to ask Mingjing Nan to take the dog to the yard.

Mingjing Nan stuck out his tongue, knowing that he was wrong, and hurriedly took the puppy away.

Lin Yi first cleaned up the glass slag on the ground, and then found a small wooden frame, and put the stars scattered on the ground with colored paper into the frame one by one.

"Oba, what are these?"

Zhang Yuanying squatted on the ground to help Lin Yi pick up the little star.

"These are my birthday presents from Jisoo Oni."

"Oh, can I take a look?"

"Yes, look."

Zhang Yuanying opened a small star, and then said with some surprise:

"Oba, there's a word in this."

Lin listened to it one by one, took the note handed over by Zhang Yuanying and looked at it, and sure enough, there were words written on it.

[Lin Yi, I wish you a good mood every day. 】
