In the evening, Lin Yi came to the tavern that he had made an appointment, and when he entered the door, he found that Park Jin-young was already sitting in his seat.

"President Park, it's been a long time."

"Yes, President Lin, I've been shocked by your recent extravagance."

Park Jin-young is now more cautious when facing Lin Yi.

Entertainment, which is the biggest competitor of JYP Entertainment, is so simply completely controlled by the Kakao Group, and there is no power to fight back at all.

This also makes it clear to many people that as a company that has only been established for less than 4 years, Kakao Group has grown into a giant, and other companies simply cannot compete.

Moreover, the most terrifying thing about the Kakao Group is not its speed of development, but the company's huge cash flow, even the top chaebol groups in South Korea are only a few that can compare with the Kakao Group in terms of cash flow.

"Don't talk about this, I came out with President Park today, because I have something to talk to you about."

"President Lin, please speak."

"There's no hurry, let's talk while we drink."

Lin Yi stretched out his hand and called the waiter over and ordered a few bottles of beer and snacks.

After the beer was brought over by the waiter, Lin Yi picked up a bottle and signaled, touched it with Park Zhenying, and said casually:

"President Park, JYP Entertainment's performance in the stock market has not been satisfactory recently."

Originally, Lin Yi didn't pay much attention to the Korean stock market, but after Mingjing Nan told him about it today, he deliberately looked at the stock price trend of JYP Entertainment and found that in the recent period, the stock price has basically been falling, even if it rises one day, it will definitely fall more the next day.

"Hey, yes, the company is indeed experiencing some difficulties right now."

Park Jin-young picked up the beer and took several sips, and he was also very melancholy in his heart now, and he was also full of worries about the future of JYP Entertainment.

"Difficulties are temporary, and there will always be a way to solve them."

Lin Yi comforted, although he was not very clear about the specific difficulties of JYP Entertainment, but he also guessed that it should be mainly because several groups in the current activities are going downhill.

Whether it's 2PM or Missa, as well as the boy group GOT7 that has just been launched, the results are not very good, and solo singers are not as good as Rain used to be.

Even, 2PM and Missa also rumored that they would not renew their contracts and dissolve, which made JYP Entertainment's stock price fall again and again, and the market was not confident.

"Yes, there is always a solution, no, I plan to launch a new girl group recently, and the selection method is in the form of a competition, and the final debut position is voted by the judges and the audience."

"Well, then President Park plans to form a group of several people this time?"

"My current expectation is between 7~9 members, and I think the girl group is still more numerous."

Park Zhenying is a loss due to the small number of girl groups, whether it is wirls or missa, the number of people is too small, although the early stage of the debut is good, but the follow-up is a little weak, not because the strength of the members is not good, but because the number of members of the group is small, so the number of fans attracted is relatively small.

There are 9 people in the group like Girls' Generation, and each of them will have a group of die-hard fans, plus group fans, passerby fans, etc., so that the group's achievements can continue, and it will not lead to the collapse of the group if the song is unpopular once it returns, so that it will collapse.

"It's right to have a little more people, so does President Park have a candidate in mind now?"

Lin Yi also knows very well in his heart that although it is said that the final debut position will be voted on by the judges and the audience, there will definitely be members who have been fixed in advance.

"There are a few of them."

Park Jin-young is also very frank, any talent show will have a dark box operation, which is actually not a fraud, but the company has to consider more comprehensive, the lead dance, lead singer, façade and other factors must be taken into account, and it is impossible to select all the members to look the same.

Therefore, there will definitely be members who will decide in advance to debut, and the audience can decide the debut of several of them, in fact, even if it is a benefit for fans, in the past, the company itself decided who debuted.

"Well, who are the people that President Park likes?"

"Lin Nalian, Park Zhixiao." After Park Zhenying finished speaking, he glanced at Lin Yi again, and then said, "There is also Mingjing Nan." ”

Lin Yi smiled and waved his hand after hearing this, looked at Park Zhenying very seriously and said: "President Park, you don't have to consider my factors, if Xiao Nan's strength can't be reached, you don't have to be reluctant, I won't blame you." ”

"President Lin, I do have a little selfishness in choosing Mingjing Nan, but I also recognize her strength, this girl's dancing and singing strength is also in the middle and upper reaches of this group of trainees, and she is also an RB person, and her appearance is also very sweet and cute, so I plan to position her as a combination façade, of course, in order to enter the RB market in the future."

Although Park Jin-young said so, what he thought in his heart was how could he not choose Mingjing Nan, even if he didn't choose Lin Nalian and Park Zhixiao, he would choose her, just with the relationship between Mingjingnan and Lin Yi, any brokerage company would regard her as the first debut member.

This is not a snobbery, but a very real problem.

Of course, Lin Yi also knows that what Park Jinying said is not all the truth, but sometimes the relationship is really more important than the strength, not to mention that the strength of Mingjing Nam itself is not bad, and her appearance is also the appearance of a good girl, which will definitely be very popular with male fans.

"Then President Park plans to set up a few foreign members in the new group this time?" Lin Yi asked about the main purpose of his appointment with Park Jin-young today.

"Huh?"

Park Jin-young didn't expect Lin Yi to ask this, are there several foreign members who are so important?

"President Park, don't get me wrong, I just want to know what JYP Entertainment thinks about overseas markets."

"Overseas markets? I really don't dare to hope for overseas markets now, so let's gain a firm foothold in China first. ”

Park Jin-young has also dreamed of overseas markets before, and he always has an American dream in his heart, and he wants to push the company's artists to the United States for development, but the reality has hit him hard.

Not only is the rising WIRLS losing in the United States, but even the local market has been quietly carved up by Girls' Generation, Kara and T-ara.

"Actually, I think President Park can refer to the entertainment EXO and have more foreign members in the group, which will not only attract some local fans, but also benefit the group's overseas development in the future."

It's not that Lin Yi deliberately said this for the sake of Mingjingnan, but he really thinks so, the Korean market is still too small.

"What does President Lin mean by letting this group focus on overseas development?"

Park Zhenying looked at Lin Yi with some doubts, if Lin Yi was willing to help, then the overseas market would be much easier than developing it himself.

Lin Yi showed a meaningful smile and said:

"It's not about focusing on overseas markets, but the Korean market is too small, even if you are at the top in Korea, what's the use, and how much money can the company make."

Now all the groups that have withdrawn from entertainment brokerage companies in South Korea are going to develop overseas, but the quality of development has a lot to do with the members of the group.

South Koreans are not the only ones who are xenophobic, all countries have xenophobic people.

"But.

。 The local market can't be given up. ”

"I didn't let you give up, but for the establishment of this group, you have to consider the development of overseas in advance, especially Huaxia and RB, these two countries and South Korea belong to the same East Asian cultural circle, and they also have a certain K-pop fan base and strong receptivity. And European and American countries, of course, are the main markets, after all, the mainstream of the world is still the European and American entertainment circles, but that is to be considered after gaining a firm foothold in Asia. ”

"That.

。 Does President Lin mean to add RB and Huaxia members to the group? ”

"It's not necessarily a member of these two countries, other nationalities can also be considered, although I know that Korean fans are generally xenophobic, but you also have to think about how many fans will be added to her country if you add a foreign member, which is positive and negative, I think President Park should know it in his heart."

President Park heard Lin Yi's words and nodded, of course he will settle this account, South Korea has a small population, and millions of people can be counted as target customers, and there are so many idol groups that have debuted in South Korea, each family has one point, and there are basically few people.

Huaxia and RB are both economically and populous countries, and the benefits of a local member are definitely greater than that of a Korean member.

If it weren't for the fact that there are very few European and American children who come to South Korea as trainees, it is estimated that every group will have blonde and blue-eyed idols.

Park Zhenying also understood what Lin Yi meant at this time, although he didn't quite understand why Lin Yi took the initiative to say this, but as the largest shareholder of JYP, Lin Yi's opinion is also quite important.

What's more, Park Zhenying is also counting on Lin Yi to support JYP Entertainment more in the future, so he must consider his opinions carefully.

"Okay, Chairman Lin, I'll discuss it with the other senior executives of the company."

"Well, that's it today, if there is any problem that can't be solved here, you can find me."

"Just say this from President Lin." Park Zhenying was waiting for Lin Yi's words, which could be regarded as a reassurance to him.

。

。

。

After separating from Park Jin-young, Lin Yi looked at the time, and it was not very late, so he planned to go to the street.

It's been a long time since Lin Yi has walked alone on the streets of Seoul at night, and today is the opportunity to relax.

Because it was already the end of June at this time, it was almost beginning to enter the summer, so there were still a lot of people on the streets.

Just as Lin was drinking a cup of iced coffee in one hand, there was suddenly a noisy sound in front of him, as if someone was arguing.

With some curiosity, Lin Yi also stepped forward to take a look.

When he saw the few people arguing, Lin Yi found that one of them was actually someone he knew.
