Chapter 416: Digging YG's Old Bottom
Lin Yi took the two girls to the vicinity of Itaewon, found a casual small bar that looked good, and after entering the door, the three of them found an empty seat and sat down.
Kim Ji-so is now an adult, and according to South Korean law, she can enter some entertainment venues and drink alcohol, but Kim Ji-ni is still half a year away from becoming an adult, so she can only drink drinks now.
Lin Yi walked to the bar and ordered two cocktails with very low alcohol content, a non-alcoholic drink, and some small snacks.
Not long after Lin walked back and sat down, a young girl dressed as a waiter came over with wine and snacks and placed them on the table.
Kim Jisoo picked up the beautiful cocktail in front of him, took a shallow sip with a straw, and then showed a very surprised expression.
"Oba, what's this wine called?"
"Mojito, this is a concoction from Cuba, how is it, is it delicious?"
"Yes, it's delicious." Kim Jisoo took another shallow sip, and then her face began to appear a little red, obviously an alcohol intolerance constitution.
"Okay, you drink slowly, don't get drunk again." Lin Yi smiled and pulled Kim Jisoo's hanging hair behind his ears.
Kim Ji-ni was drinking non-alcoholic drinks on the side, watching the interaction between Lin Yi and Kim Jisoo was both envious and a little jealous.
She still can't understand why Lin Yi fell in love with Kim Jisoo and was very good to her.
What kind of person is Lin Yi, the chairman of a dignified high-tech group company, young and promising, with a net worth of at least 10 billion US dollars, there are not too many women who want to get close to him.
And Kim Jisoo is an ordinary girl, except for being good-looking, she has no other advantages.
"Oba, do you have something to tell me?" Kim Jisoo didn't notice Kim Ji-ni's expression beside her at all, she was all about Lin Yi.
"Well, I just met with Yang Hyun-suk, the president of your YG Entertainment, and talked to him."
"Huh? Did you meet with our president? Kim Ji-so and Kim Ji-ni both looked at Lin Yi with some surprise, which was very surprising news.
Looking at the stunned expressions of the two girls, Lin Yi laughed and said, "Actually, speaking of which, I am still a shareholder of your YG Entertainment, and it is not normal for me to meet with your president." ”
"Lin Yi Oba, are you still a shareholder of YG Entertainment? How many shares do you have? Kim Ji-ni immediately asked when she heard it.
"About 8%, what's wrong?" Lin Yi has already transferred all the shares of all the companies left by his father into a trust fund, so in fact, he does not have the right to dispose of these shares at will.
"So much, then why didn't you serve as a director of our company?"
"Not available." Lin Yi's words directly made Kim Jisoo laugh happily. Jin Zhini was also shocked by Lin Yi's words, but she also heard that Lin Yi was not interested in YG Company at all.
"Oba, what did you and our president say?" Kim Jisoo asked.
"It's the same thing I mentioned to you last time, and your president agreed." Lin Yi smiled mysteriously after speaking.
"Huh? It's true? Kim Jiso's mouth opened wide in surprise, she didn't expect things to progress so quickly.
"Well, it is estimated that Yang Xianshuo will talk to you in two days."
"Lin Yi Oba, Ji Xiu Oni, what are you two talking about?" Kim Ji-ni looked at the two of them with a confused expression, why did she still play dumb riddles.
Kim Jisoo looked at her sister beside her, took her hand a little reluctantly, and said, "Ji-ni, I... We won't be able to practice together in the future. Kim Ji-ni was stunned when she heard this, and immediately thought of something, looked at Lin Yi, and asked anxiously: "Lin Yi Oba, did you let Jisoo Oni leave our company?" ”
"Well, I've negotiated with your president, and Jisoo's trainee contract at YG Entertainment will be terminated."
"That... Where did you let Jisoo Oni go? You're not going to get married, are you? That's the reason Kim Ji-ni can think of, otherwise why did she suddenly terminate the contract.
"Oh, Zhini, what are you talking about, didn't I ask you if you want to change brokerage companies some time ago." Kim Jisoo heard
After the word "married", his face turned red with shame, and he didn't dare to look at Lin Yi anymore. And Lin Yi was also stunned when he heard this word.
That's right, why did you want Kim Jisoo to continue to make her debut as a trainee. Lin Yi has some habitual thinking, he has always wanted to help Kim Jisoo fulfill his dream, but in fact, he has never asked Kim Jisoo what he wants to do.
"You asked us, but then didn't we say we'd stick with it?" Kim Ji-ni's voice trembled a little at this time, she really didn't want to be separated from Kim Ji-so.
"But..." Kim Jisoo wants to explain, but she doesn't know how to explain to Kim Ji-ni, she can't say that she is actually not so eager to make her debut now, even if she doesn't become an artist, she doesn't care.
At this time, Lin Yi spoke,
"Ji-ni, Ji-so, she doesn't really fit YG's style, and your debut has become far away, so I'm going to let her come to my company, so it's better than you continue to wait for your debut opportunity at YG Entertainment."
"Then I'll go too." Kim Ji-ni said angrily.
“。。” Lin Yi was speechless, Jin Zhini said easily, the trainee contract is also legally valid, and there are only two ways to terminate the contract, one is that the company takes the initiative to terminate the contract, and the other is to pay liquidated damages.
And the reason why Lin Yi chose to interview Yang Hyun Suk is not only to make Kim Ji so leave with dignity, but also because Kim Father has a relationship with Yang Hyun Suk, and he doesn't want the relationship to be too stiff.
Of course, Lin Yi also knows that Jin Zhini's family conditions are good, and the termination fee is not a big problem, but if he changes jobs like this, if he debuts in the future and is picked up from this history, it will definitely be a reason to be hacked.
"What? Lin Yi Oba, you don't welcome me? After Jin Zhini saw Lin Yi's expression, she all opened her mouth and looked unhappy.
"No, of course I'd welcome you to come, but..." As soon as Lin wanted to say this, Yang Xianshuo would definitely hold a grudge against him.
But after thinking about it again, even if Yang Xianshuo hates him, what can he do, it's good if he doesn't go to him for trouble, and he dares to take the initiative to provoke himself?
At most, scold yourself behind your back.
"Then it's decided, I'll go back and talk to my doll mother, and ask her to help me talk to President Yang." In fact, Jin Zhini's mother also has some connections with YG Entertainment, her group is one of the strategic partners of YG Entertainment, and also holds a little stake in YG Entertainment, but the proportion is not high, less than 1/4 of Lin Yi's.
After listening to the conversation between the two, Kim Jisoo thought about it, looked at Lin Yi with an expectant expression, and said glutinously: "Oba, or... You charge a few more people. Lin Yi was choked by Kim Jiso's words, coughed a few times, looked at her suspiciously, and asked, "What?" You don't want to stay at YG anymore? ”
"Well, in fact, we trainees have long been dissatisfied with the company, some girls have been practicing in the company for 4 or 5 years, and the company said that they would be dismissed, and the rest of us don't know when they will be fired by the company, but everyone still has the dream of debut, so they have been persevering." Lin Yi pondered for a moment, although he didn't really want to do this, but since Kim Jisoo said it, then he had to find a way to help her achieve it.
It's just that it is very immoral to hollow out the trainees of an entertainment company, even if the Kakao Group is in full swing today, doing this kind of thing will be pointed out by other companies, and it will bear a bad reputation, especially now that it is a critical period for Kakao Group to go public, this bad reputation will directly affect the stock issue price.
So Lin Yi wanted to think of a foolproof way, he thought about it for a while, then looked at the two girls and asked: "Okay, you give me a little time, I want to think of a way, you two don't make a noise to the outside world, no one can say it, you know?" ”
"Yes, we got it." The two girls said at the same time, both of them had an inexplicable confidence in Lin Yi.
