Chapter 0145: Two Years Later
Time flies, two years go by in a flash.
June 1992.
SBS Headquarters Building.
Variety Department.
Several crew members are gathering together, chatting and waiting for the official recording of "South Korean Idol".
"Is Producer Li of our program group really only 21 years old?"
"Of course, you can also see it by looking at the face, the collagen on that face is obviously not very old."
"I'm so envious, I can become a production director at the age of 21......"
"Ahem, I heard that Producer Li got into Minister Chen's car."
"Minister Chen's car? Could it be that Li produced her ......"
"Shhhh I've heard it too, so you can go and don't spread it. ”
"No wonder, if Producer Li and Minister Chen have this kind of relationship, it will be normal."
"But how did I hear that Producer Li and Young Master Chen Daojun have a bad relationship?"
"Yes, I've also heard people say that it seems that Producer Li met Young Master Daojun first."
When a few people were chatting, they heard a commotion at the door, turned their heads to look, and saw Li Fuzhen, who was wearing a black OL outfit with a cold face, like an iceberg, coming in from outside.
Da, da, da......
The high heels made a crisp sound when they stepped on the ground.
"Producer Lee!"
"Hello Director!"
"Producer, you're here!"
After really seeing Li Fuzhen, no one at the scene dared to look at her, and they all greeted her with a little flattery.
Without him,
Although there are many rumors about Li Fuzhen, they who work under Li Fuzhen know deeply that Li Fuzhen's ability is real!
There was once someone who relied on his qualifications to disobey Li Fuzhenyang, but she did not hesitate to expel him directly with an iron fist, and personally assumed his responsible position without any omission.
After this incident, the entire "South Korean Idol" program team no longer has any disobedience to Li Fuzhen, and they are all honest.
"Is everyone here?"
Coming to the office, Li Fuzhen asked the secretary lightly.
"It's already here, just waiting for you."
The secretary quickly replied.
"Okay, let's start recording!"
Li Fuzhen responded.
"The first episode of "South Korean Idol" has officially started recording!"
With Li Fuzhen's order issued, the entire program team suddenly began to operate closely like a machine with a clear division of labor.
……
meanwhile
In the office of the deputy director above the SBS building, Lu Qingzheng was chatting with Chen Yunji.
"You have so much confidence in this "South Korean Idol"?"
Looking at the documents in his hand, Chen Runji asked in surprise: "--Estimated ratings of 50%?" ”
At this time, Chen Runji is no longer the same as a few years ago.
With a calm face and a deep temperament, you know at a glance that she is a superior person.
In fact, no one will deny this, and in just a year and a half since SBS was founded, Tan Yun-ki has built this newly created TV station into a cutting-edge TV station on a par with MBC and KBS, two established TV stations.
Especially in variety shows, South Korea is unique.
"Fireside Interview" has always firmly occupied the first place in the ratings of talk shows because the interviewees are all top celebrities.
The host, Sun Shixi, is regarded by many as the national host, and no matter who is proud to be interviewed by him.
Although the ratings of "Got Talent" are slightly inferior to "Fireside Interview", they are still crushing compared to MBC and KBS.
In particular, the sale of the rights to ABC TV in the United States for $1 million at the beginning of the year has aroused a strong sense of national pride.
Even American dads envy me, my South Korean creativity?
Must support!
So, in the finals of "Got Talent", the ratings skyrocketed to 76%!
However, South Korea's land area and population are still there after all, and the second season of "Got Talent" encountered many problems in the preparation stage.
At this moment, Lu Qing found Chen Yunji with the planning book of "South Korean Idol", and after a month of preparation, it was officially recorded today.
Although out of trust in Lu Qing, Chen Runji gave the green light all the way, but he was still surprised to see that Lu Qing predicted that the ratings of "South Korean Idol" could reach 50%.
"Don't worry, Dad, in the past two years, the overall economic situation of our country has been getting better and better, the people's minds have become more and more emancipated, and the pursuit of new things has become bigger and bigger.
Lu Qing said with a light smile.
To be honest, Lu Qing himself is a little hard to believe this result, because MBC and KBS TV have also launched their own new variety shows not to be left behind.
Although it still looks a little flawed, it has had an impact on SBS's ratings.
However, after habitually using system bugs to make some 'predictions' based on ratings and advertising revenue, the system gave this answer.
So, Lu Qing did not hesitate to buy the naming rights of the program "South Korean Idol" and advertise the Shunyang mobile phone he was in charge of.
yes
After more than a year of research and development, the mobile phone division of Shunyang Group has finally developed a mobile phone that can be mass-produced.
Because Lu Qing would give opinions from time to time during the research and development process, and in order to compensate for Chen Yongji's guilt for murdering him, Chen Yangzhe handed over Shunyang Mobile Phone Company to Lu Qing to take care of.
"If the ratings of "South Korean Idol" can reach 50%, then I will have the confidence to fight with your second uncle in the vice president election at the end of the year."
Chen Runji said with a smile.
Since Chen Yongji was assigned to Saudi Arabia two years ago, there has been no sign of returning.
And the position of vice president cannot be vacant for a long time, so after three months of investigation, Chen Yangzhe let Chen Dongji sit on the throne of vice president.
However, Chen Yangzhe made it particularly clear that from now on, the position of vice president will be assessed once a year, and if the performance is not good, it will be replaced by someone else.
The others here are naturally Chen Runji.
……
"By the way, Daojun, I said, you received nearly a billion dollars in private equity this year?"
Chen Runji asked curiously.
Just a few days ago, Daojun Fund conducted a semi-annual private placement activity in accordance with the usual practice.
In this event, countless chaebols can be said to have broken their heads in order to compete for those ten seats-
There is no way, who made the lowest half-year return rate of Daojun Fund in the past two years be 200%.
in other words
If you give Lu Qing 100 million dollars in the spring, you can harvest 200 million in the fall!
This rate of return is simply terrible.
So
After Lu Qing announced that the private placement activity would be changed to open bidding, countless people rushed to grab the ten places as if they were crazy.
In the end, the entry threshold for ten seats was raised to $30 million, and the total private placement amount reached $1 billion.
"Well, it's about $1.1 billion."
Lu Qing took a sip of tea calmly: "Not much." ”
No... Not much?
Looking at Lu Qing's casual tone as if he wanted to eat barbecue for lunch, Chen Runji glared and wanted to beat Lu Qing.
$1.1 billion is not much, what is too much?
As if he had guessed Chen Runji's thoughts, Lu Qing said: "I have been preparing for an operation recently, which will probably require about 15 billion US dollars...... The 1.1 billion is not even a fraction. ”
"$15 billion!?"
Hearing this number, Chen Runji's eyes almost popped out, and he blurted out: "Do you want to trigger a third world war?" ”
You must know that the total assets of Shunyang Group are only 60 billion US dollars.
What action requires $15 billion in cash?
"I can't say it yet, otherwise it's easy to make mistakes."
Lu Qing smiled slightly and did not answer.
Chen Runji opened his mouth, but finally swallowed the doubts in his heart.
After so many years, he has long been accustomed to the difference of his son.
To be honest, walking in the SBS building, in the face of everyone's respect and flattery towards him, Chen Yunji often has times when he is complacent.
But every time at this time, as long as he thinks about Lu Qing, what pride and pride will dissipate in an instant - anyone compared to a teenager who has 15 billion US dollars at the age of 14 will also be hit, especially when this person is still his own child.
"No, don't you still have a national pension in your hand?"
Chen Runji suddenly thought of something and said, "Now the total value of the national pension is also 10 billion US dollars, right?" ”
"Yes, but President Lu seems to have some other ideas, and wants me to renew my contract early, otherwise I will end my contract early."
Lu Qing said with a faint expression as he drank his tea.
"Renew the contract early or end the contract?"
Chen Runji said angrily: "How can he be so shameless? ”
"It's just normal operation, after all, President Lu's term of office is until the end of this year, and he has to take advantage of the fact that he is still in power to seek some benefits for himself, which is human nature."
Lu Qing didn't have a big reaction.
"Uh......"
Seeing Lu Qing so calm, Chen Runji didn't know how many times he doubted whether he was his father or Lu Qing was his father.
'Well, if in terms of personal ability, it seems that Lu Qing is more like my father? ’
Shaking his head and putting aside the distractions in his mind, Chen Runji asked, "Then what do you need me to help with...... Uh, it seems like you don't need me either, when I didn't ask. ”
As soon as the words came out, Chen Runji thought that the Lu Qing he was facing was all he helped himself, and he had never helped him, so he immediately smiled.
"If Dad wants to help me, then work hard to develop his career, after all, you are a man who wants to be the godfather of Hallyu!"
Lu Qing got up and patted Chen Runji's shoulder and joked.
"You kid, no big or small."
Chen Runji slapped Lu Qing's hand, scolded with a smile, and then said: "I have never slacked off, whether it is a TV station or a brokerage company, I have developed very well, especially the brokerage company, we are already the most powerful company in South Korea!" ”
"Oh, really?"
Lu Qing really hadn't paid much attention to the development of the brokerage company during this time, and his eyes suddenly lit up when he heard this.
Isn't it far from the day when you will run rampant in the South Korean entertainment industry?
Chen Runji naturally didn't know Lu Qing's thoughts, but seeing that Lu Qing was interested, a feeling of finally being praised by the teacher rose in his heart, and said:
"At present, our company has signed more than 200 stars, from movies, to television, to singers, to models...... Among them, there are thirteen A-list superstars, and thirty ......"
Listening to Chen Runji's narration, Lu Qing's eyes became brighter and brighter.
Especially the appearance of familiar actress names such as Lee Young-ae and Kim Hee-sun made Xiao Luqing eager to try.
"Who said that Dad can't help me, I think you've helped me a lot!"
Lu Qing said very seriously.
How did Chen Runji know that Lu Qing said that the help was pimping, and when he heard this, his eyes suddenly became hot, and he only thought that Lu Qing had seen his hard work over the years, and his voice was a little choked: "It's okay, Dad is very happy to help you!" ”
