Cha Tae-so, who was wearing a white shirt, blue jeans, white sneakers, and a black backpack, played with the USB flash drive in his hand, standing next to Exit 2 of Apgujeong Rodeo Station in Gangnam-gu, looking at the building in front of him.

At the foot is the Hallyu Star Street, which was built by the Gangnam-gu Office of Seoul at a cost of 200 million won in 2013.

On the blue, pink, and white streetside stand conceptual dolls of different styles, representing popular Hallyu artists and groups.

EXO and SuperJunior from S.M Entertainment are among them.

Walking down Star Street, passing by the former training center of S.M Entertainment, a huge poster of the TTS team newly formed by the three members of the top girl group "Girls' Generation" in H country fell from the sky.

It is in this building that S.M Entertainment has become popular from the first generation of H-stream representatives HOT and BoA, to TVXQ, SuperJunior and many other H-country idol groups and SOLO singers.

With both hands posing for a camera to take a picture and lock on to the target building, Cha Tae-so walked forward with brisk steps.

There are a lot of fans gathered on the street, with cameras on their chests and support items in their hands, waiting for their favorite idols to come out of the building.

Cha Tae-so glanced at those fans, and I have to say that Lee so-man really played the fan economy very slippery.

The artists to which the company belongs, and the fan adhesion of each group is very high.

This is definitely a good thing for Cha Tae-so, only companies that regard the fan economy as particularly important will be willing to spend a lot of money to buy those scandalous photos of the artists affiliated to the company.

The entrance to the building

The security guard on duty at the security booth stopped Cha Tae-so, who was about to rampage into the company building.

"Are you here to do something?"

Cha Tae-so smiled and nodded: "Yes, I'm here to see Li Xiuman...... By the way, is Lee so-man stepping down as president or artist director now? ”

The security guard looked at the stunned Qing in front of him and called Li Xiuman's name, and immediately came out of the security booth to drive Cha Taixiu: "If you are here to mess around, please leave immediately." ”

Pulling away, Cha Tae-so pointed to the security guard: "You'd better not come near me, I'm here to communicate with Lee so-man on important matters, and Kim Young-min, who is not talking about him, can too." ”

The security guard took a step forward and directly raised his hand and pushed Che Tae-so's arm: "If you don't leave, I'll call someone." ”

"Xiba, are you scaring me?"

"Speak politely."

Beat?

can't beat it, this security guard is young and strong, and he should be a recently retired soldier.

Therefore, there is no bodyguard around to open the way, and everywhere you go, you will be scolded and pushed at will.

Raise your hands: "This security, I repeat, I'm here to talk about important things." ”

"Everyone talks about important things, can everyone come in and out of the company at will?"

took out the press card, this is a genuine document, and stood in front of the security guard: "I am a reporter from the first entertainment car Taixiu, you help me pass the word, if Li Xiuman doesn't see me today, there will be a special news report of the artists under S.M Company tomorrow, and it will be too late to withdraw the news at that time." ”

It worked

The security guard didn't dare to continue to drive Cha Tae-so, so he turned around and went back to the security booth to make a phone call.

Soon, three security guards in suits and leather shoes came out of the building, saying that they were invited, but they actually brought Cha Tae-so into the company building with Cha Tae-so in the middle.

Cha Tae-so didn't care, and when he entered the building, he saw the beautiful woman coming out of the elevator whistling: "Shh

The beauty was frightened by Cha Tae-so's actions and left in a hurry half-covering her face.

The security guard reminded Cha Tae-so: "Please pay attention to your behavior, this is S.M."

"You know, the famous flower field in the entertainment industry, who is the person who ran over just now? Are you a trainee in your company? I forgot my name when I looked a little familiar, but I looked so beautiful, tsk. ”

Cha Tae-so was taken to the reception room.

The room is not big, about 20 square meters, and I don't prepare a coffee and snacks, so after sitting for five minutes, a man and a woman opened the door of the reception room and walked in.

Cha Tae-so leaned back in his chair and didn't mean to get up, and the man took the lead in speaking: "Are you a reporter?" ”

"Who are you?"

"I'm Kim Cheol-yong, the head of the agent office of S.M. Company, and next to me is Kim Eun-ah, the director of the propaganda department."

Cha Tae-so sat up straight, Lee so-man and Kim Young-min couldn't see each other, these two people were the people in charge who were sent to confirm the purpose of their visit.

"Can you call the shots?"

Pulling out their chairs, the two sat opposite Cha Tae-so.

Kim Cheol-yong asked, "I wonder if the reporter has anything to do with a special trip to S.M?" ”

Click on the photo album of the mobile phone, put it in front of the two and say: "See it yourself"

There are six photos in total, and Kim Cheol-yong and Kim Eun-ah's expressions instantly freeze when they see the first photo.

Of course, they recognized at a glance who the protagonist in the photo was, and more importantly, one of them was Lin Yun'er, the company's popular idol.

Secretly in love?

The company must not know about this, and the photo of Lim Yoona and Lee Seung Gi hugging in the garage does not look like P came out.

Kim Cheol-yong looked at Cha Tae-so for the first time: "What do you want?" ”

It's easy to chat with smart people, and Cha Tae-so doesn't speak when he counts money.

The two quickly exchanged glances, and Kim Eun-ah said, "How can we confirm the authenticity of the photo?" ”

"Ask Lin Yun'er to know, give you five minutes, give me an answer in five minutes, if you don't want it, I will go to the second company, the time is tight, and the task is heavy."

Leaving Kim Cheol-yong, Kim Eun-ah left the reception room and went to call.

Kim Cheol-yong was not idle, and continued to ask Cha Tae-so: "How much?" ”

Cha Tae-so thought about what Choi Hong-tae said about tens of millions of H yuan, but he didn't say anything, and asked Kim Cheol-yong: "How much do you pay?" ”

"Mr. Reporter, didn't you come here to think of a number?"

Cha Tae-so sneered: "Can I have as much as I want?" That's $ 1 billion. ”

"Don't go too far"

"Excessive? I'm sad for you to say that, so I'd better ask D Agency how much money it is willing to pay for this scoop first, even if you admit their relationship, the scoop is worth a lot of money. ”

Kim Chol-yong gritted his back teeth with anger: "Can you give me a business card?" ”

I touched my trouser pocket: "I forgot that I haven't printed a business card yet, but it's not a secret, I'm a reporter for the first entertainment car Taixiu." ”

"New to the industry?"

"Not counted"

"Any idea what you're doing now?"

"Sell photos, you talk too much nonsense, change that beautiful woman to come in and talk to me."

Kim Chol-yong wanted to slap the table and warn Cha Tae-so that S.M is not a threat to anyone, and even if he finds D with the photo, D will communicate with S.M before releasing the news.

But Kim Cheol-yong doesn't know Cha Tae-so's background at all, and looking at his confident and unhurried appearance, he can't figure out whether Cha Tae-so is a real tiger or whether his background is so strong that no one dares to provoke him at will.

Cha Tae-so didn't know what Kim Cheol-yong, who was sitting opposite, was thinking, and the reason why he was calm was completely because he thought that he had a photo of Lin Yoona in his hand, and he didn't need to be afraid of anything at all.

said that he was in a hurry was also to create a sense of oppression for the other party, after all, it was the first time to experience this kind of selling photos, and the business was not proficient, and it was best to cut through the mess quickly so as not to expose the horse's feet.
