Chapter 203 The waves hit me today
As for Dog Days, to be honest, someone may have suddenly had some impression, as if he was vaguely remembering what interaction this girl group had with Kim Jong-ming, but he immediately became confused by the effect of alcohol. Of course, it is not their fault. You have to understand what Dog Days are like in the year of debut. Min-ah, the one who was the main promoter, was once sent to KBS's "Star Golden Bell" follow-up program "Challenge" by Lee Jong-suk and became a permanent guest, but after three months of work, the cumulative shots did not exceed ten minutes... This is enough!
However, for some smart people, it doesn’t matter even if they don’t know what Dreamtea is and dog days, because they quickly captured some information from the keyword "The Girls Group" and looked around. It seems that the presidents or bosses of mainstream Korean girl groups are already all over the world. Even Loen has a phenomenal iu that can resist the girls group.
It seems that the topic tonight seems to start with this topic.
"Does President Han Shenghao have a girl group plan this year?" After Li Xiuman finished estimating one by one in his mind, he suddenly asked the last person he was not sure about.
"Oh." Han Shenghao, the president of FNC, who lowered his head and thought about something, immediately nodded. "To be honest, there is a girl group plan in 12 years, and it has been two years of preparation, the kind of band and dance troupe, and at that time... I'll ask you to give it a thumbs up."
"When exactly?" Li Xiuman asked seriously. "The presidents of decent Korean girl groups are all on this table. Since you have spoken, how good is everyone to be kind and make money? Our s.m company has always been ruled. No matter how popular Girls' Generation will not dominate the market for half a year."
In an instant, Kim Kwang-soo and Han Seung-ho were a little embarrassed, and they naturally understood the sarcastic meaning of Lee Soo-man in this serious tone. No, everyone understands the girl group that really dominated the market this year is not someone else, but it happens to be Tara under CCM. They seem to have been active all the time in the second half of the year. Han Seung-ho's fnc, as a subsidiary of CJ, made a girl group debut and shouted that others would be proud of themselves, which really made others sneer in their hearts.
There was a verbal fight and sarcastic manner, while others like Yang Hyun-shuo were also staring at Kim Jong-ming and observing carefully. However... the newly released 6 billion US dollars gentleman never expressed too much, but occasionally talked and laughed with Hong Shengcheng, Cui Zhenhao, and Li Zhongshi, who were not under pressure, and seemed to be completely unwilling to worry about the two presidents of the CJ department that Li Xiuman was quarreling there.
However, it is only temporary that Kim Kwang-soo and Han Seung-ho can't get out of the stage. After everyone understood that today's theme was a girl group, everyone condensed the topic on this topic. What m has hacked someone again, which two girl groups have hit a car again, and what is it possible to build a cooperative project across a girl group... For a moment, although I was still worried, there was something to say.
Finally, the clock pointed at ten o'clock, and when fireworks were heard outside, Jin Zhongming's long-awaited American ginseng turtle soup also came on stage. Everyone had a cup of thick soup, and a steaming and complete stewed turtle was also delivered to the middle of the dining table.
"Before drinking the soup, let me tell you something." Jin Zhongming took a spoon and squeezed the heat in the soup.
Here comes! I don’t know how many people shouted in their hearts, and everyone’s spirit was immediately cheered up.
"President Lee Jong-shy's dreamtea company is a small company. Although his company's girl'sday is excellent, due to the company's strength, he has not even one of them since his debut for a year... It was just at the beginning of last month. I finally hired Er Duan Heng to play a good song, and I met Girls' Generation head-on, and I didn't even raise a wave."
Almost everyone except Lee Jong-seok himself sneered in his heart. Kim Jong-ming said that this girl group is as innocent as a dog life, and Girls' Generation is like a sinner. But in fact, which girl group that really made a fortune has never crushed a few slap groups directly? The Korean market is so big. Even in the so-called girl group prosperity, there are only ones in the market today, the third major 207 and the seventh major 209 groups, plus a newly emerging apink... If you don't squeeze you to death, what can we eat?
"I also know that it's a bit difficult to say this." Kim Jong-ming seemed to be ignorant at all, so he continued to say it for granted. "But due to some fate, President Li found me and hoped that I would help. On New Year's Day, this girl'sday girl group is going to try again. Will it be a one-time deal? So, what I mean is... Can you please give everyone a face, give it a lot of money, and adjust it. Don't let your girl group play songs again during the New Year's Day period?"
The private room was strangely silent. Some people did have New Year's Day plans. Although Kim Jong-ming had face, no one was willing to accept it in front of real money and silver. Others, although they had no plans, they were very curious about this matter. They wanted to know the relationship between this group and Kim Jong-ming. Could it be that there is a little princess of a chaebol here, or something? If that were the case, everyone would sell it together. There were also a few people who might not really care about the New Year's Day schedule, but they instinctively wanted to resist Kim Jong-ming's request that was almost an order ban, because they were afraid that there would be two today, and then there would be an emperor riding on his head and giving orders every day. Who would be willing?
Kim Jong-ming looked around, then glanced at Lee Jong-suk without any concealment.
Li Zhongshi immediately stood up knowingly, walked to the open space beside the table, and bowed respectfully to everyone: "I am really ashamed, but I still want to ask all the seniors in the industry."
After saying that, the president lowered his head for five seconds before returning to his seat. Now, it would be impossible not to express his opinion.
The first one to speak was Han Chengzhu from Pledis. He... originally didn't want to be the first to be a pioneer, after all, the 6 billion dollar figure released in the middle of the month really scared him, who was not very good at home and was not very good at home. However, as a member of S.M company, the president could not resist the hint of Li Xiuman, the former boss, so he finally gritted his teeth and spoke.
"It's not that I don't want to help." Maybe the heating in the private room was a bit too hot, and Han Chengzhu even sweated on his forehead. "It's really that our pledis is not a big company, so we just expect atehool to make some money. Moreover, the return of the New Year's Day schedule was originally due to the activeness of Girls' Generation and Tara to move over..."
"Then move it again." Jin Zhongming put down the spoon and interrupted the other party directly. "How much money has you lost? President Han will give me a number, and I will give it to you twice. But if you insist on letting the atehool come out on New Year's Day, we... will have no friendship in the future!"
Han Chengzhu shut up quickly. He was the first to speak, which was already a reward for Li Xiuman's kindness. Who should go up to him? Anyway, Han Chengzhu is short, and it's not his turn to him.
In fact, after Kim Jong-ming said this, all the eyes in the private room were focused on four tall people, Li Soo-man, the chairman of S.M company with the largest opposition party as the backing; Kim Kwang-soo and Han Seung-ho, who were backed by CJ; Park Yong-ho, the president of Loen company with the backing of SK.
After all, when Kim Jong-ming's attitude became completely tough, except for these four people, the rest were really powerless.
"I..." Park Yong-ho looked embarrassed, as if there was something unspeakable. "Iu is indeed preparing to return on New Year's Day, but if Mr. Kim Jong-ming can help coordinate, I will ask her to go to Japan to change to make her debut in Japan during New Year's Day. What do you think...how is this?"
"No problem." Kim Jong-ming answered very simply.
Everyone was disappointed.
"I forgot to say it just now." Han Shenghao also spoke with a serious face. "The girl group in our fnc was originally planning to make a debut in the middle of the year, and it has nothing to do with New Year's Day."
"That would be even better." Jin Zhongming nodded repeatedly.
"When the time comes, I will run into our fx." Li Xiu smiled at Han Seung-ho with a 'kind' heart'.
Now, many people looked at Lee Soo-man, hoping that he could stand up and confront Kim Jong-ming first, but the male lead in the Korean music industry disappointed everyone. After mocking Han Shenghao, he shut up, as if he didn't care about New Year's Day at all.
Actually, I think about it, Girls' Generation has just returned and is playing group variety shows; he just said that it is probably back in the middle of the year... And after thinking about it this way, Li Xiuman's words just now seemed to be giving in to the side?
So, the remaining eyes immediately focused on Kim Kwang-soo. They wanted to see if President Kim, supported by Lee Jae-hyun, would let Tara calm down for a while.
"Jong Ming... Will this cause everyone's concern?" Kim Kwang-soo did not disappoint others. "I'm not saying I won't give you face. In fact, since you have spoken, everyone has nothing to say... But what I mean is that this approach violates market laws..."
"You are afraid that Tara will not be able to complete the money-making indicators given to you by Lee Jae-hyun?" Kim Jong-ming interrupted the other party without hesitation. If it were someone else, he might have done some superficial skills, but Kim Kwang-soo... He is really too lazy to be silly now.
Kim Kwang-soo was immediately angry.
"I'll just say it." Kim Jong-ming stared at the other party and preached coldly. "You can try to call Lee Jae-hyun now to see how he reacts..."
Kim Kwang-soo was at a loss.
"Try to beat me!" Kim Jong-ming urged impatiently. "He is in China now, and it's only past nine o'clock, so there's nothing rude."
Kim Kwang-soo really took out his cell phone in the strange eyes of the private room... and then immediately answered the phone. However, before he could say a few words to introduce the situation, a clear scolding came from the other end of the phone, and then it was a silent busy voice that made the room full of people.
It was really silent, and everyone felt a hint of tension in a hazy way, as if something beyond their understanding was placed in front of them, curious and palpitations, but no one dared to touch it.
"I'll just say it." Kim Jong-ming seemed to want to quickly end this boring game. "President Kim, don't think too much. In fact, Mr. Lee Mengxi has lung cancer and is in a bad condition. He will undergo surgery to remove his lungs at the end of the month... At this time, do you think President Lee Jae-hyun will show his face to me for you?"
Kim Kwang-soo's face was ashamed, Han Seung-ho was inexplicably surprised, and the rest were stunned and digesting the news that was destined to have a huge impact.
"If you want to make money, then let Tara go to Japan." Kim Jong-ming made a final conclusion. "In fact, this is what I want to say to everyone. While the market is okay, you can go to Japan for activities if you don't want to waste the New Year's Day period... But during the New Year's Day period, no matter who it is... please give up the space! I don't want to be a road bully, but there are some things to do... After the New Year's Day period, what should everyone do, and I will remember the people who help today. How about it?"
Maybe he was still thinking about the name Li Mengxi, but no one dared to speak for a while.
"What do you mean by Brother Zhenying?" Kim Jong-ming suddenly pointed Park Jinying's name. It was not malicious, but he suddenly remembered that Park Jinying had a Busan background, and maybe there was a shadow of Kim Wuxing who was impure in her mind.
"Don't worry." Park Jin-young smiled bitterly. "Missa has already decided on the itinerary for the Chinese language circle, and ondergirls is in the biggest crisis... I can't take care of myself."
"Oh." Kim Jong-ming suddenly thought of Min Xianyi, who had fox eyes and believed in Catholicism. "Don't worry, ondergirls is the first to rise in this wave of Korean girl groups. Die-loving fans have always existed, and anyone can survive without it."
"I'm grateful for your good words." Park Jin-young shook his head. "However, I'm really upset about these things recently. Let's do this, Zhong Ming, you have a request for your reception. I did receive it, but after drinking the soup, I'll leave first."
As he said that, Park Gangxing lowered his head and picked up the bowl of American ginseng turtle soup that had turned cold and started drinking it in big mouthfuls.
Seeing this, everyone, from Kim Kwang-soo to Yang Hyun-soo to Hong Seung-sung who had not spoken, Choi Jin-ho no longer hesitated, but lowered their heads, imitating Park Jin-young to pick up the soup bowl and drink it. For a moment, cheers came one after another, and Lee Jong-suk finally breathed a sigh of relief and then lowered his head to taste the soup.
After drinking the soup, starting from Park Jin-young, the presidents of the song and ballad industry companies, including Lee Jong-suk, Hong Seung-sung and others, stood up and said goodbye. Only two people left in the private room soon.
"Is the soup delicious?" Jin Zhongming asked in confusion.
"The soup is good." Li Xiuman reached out and ordered some soup bowls. "But a pity... I don't like turtles and have mental cleanliness, so I couldn't stand it after just taking a sip."
"The turtle is a good thing... you are not allowed to discriminate against others." Kim Jong-ming responded seriously. "This thing can endure, bite people and hurt, and more importantly, it can live long... You see, there is a whole turtle. Everyone has left, so let's break up!"
"Stop playing the game!" Li Xiuman sighed slightly. "You want everyone to wince and be a turtle. I don't care about others. You have to give me an explanation... Say, what do you want to do, what's going on with that girl group?"
"There is actually no problem with the girl group." Kim Jong-ming stood up and lifted the lid of the stewed turtle in the middle of the table, and then put it on a plate in front of him. In fact, the most delicious thing for the stewed turtle is the skirt around the lid. "But the song they are going to sing is very interesting..."
"What song?" Li Xiuman became even more interested.
"How about "The Female President"? "Kim Jong-ming was frank.
Li Xiuman immediately changed his face: "Are you so impatient?"
"Where did you start?" Jin Zhongming cut off the edge of the turtle skirt, divided it into half and delivered it to Li Xiuman.
"Where do you start?" Li Xiuman stared at the skirt he sent, asking. "At the beginning, you can't wait to jump out... I know you have money, but that's what we are today. If others don't say it, Lee Jae-hyun's worth is probably only one-third of yours, but he has the entire CJ in his hand... He really mobilized, and ten trillion won can be paid out. What qualifications do you have to bet with these people?"
"Senior is old." Kim Jong-ming suddenly said something unknown.
"This kind of ridicule has no meaning." Li Xiuman was not angry, but became serious instead.
"I didn't ridicule, I just stated the facts." Kim Jong-ming responded calmly. "Who was willing to emptiate his company and wanted to gamble on politics? Although I lost later, that momentum made me remember it deeply. I remember it was 1998, and I probably haven't seen you, you, and you even seem to be in the United States. Later, my senior hid for a few years? How many years was sentenced to another? I remember it was Minister Lee Hyun-sen who personally sentenced him to guilt? Do you regret it?"
A series of questions made Li Xiuman silent for a long time. It was all thirteen years ago, and it always took time to sort out memories.
After a while, Li Xiuman spoke again: "At that time... I can't say I regret it. I don't want to be treated as an ATM for the rest of my life! After doing so many things and being scolded, I finally made some money, but in the end I found that the money was all from someone else. I was stuck in the upstream and downstream industries by Samsung in my career, and I kept paying tribute in politics... What should I do? I had to come to this largest gambling table to play with a big one! In fact, to be shameless, if the timing was more stable at that time and the right bet, maybe I would be the one who invited others to drink soup here today."
At this point, Lee Soo-man, who claims to be mentally morbid, actually picked up the chopsticks and checked the skirt on the plate, then lowered his head and chewed it before continuing: "It tasted good... However, I didn't have any intention to advise you not to do it. I just supported Moon Jae-in. I said this, I just felt that you were still young and could just use calmness to stop and wait for the opportunity to wait until your strength grew to a level of self-protection before gamble... And, when is it that you are sure that you have the right person and An Cheol-soo's momentum will not overtake? And even if you win, are you sure you can get the lost person on the gambling table? How many can you get? More importantly... Are you well prepared? Have you seen the trend of the card game in front of you? Those big gamblers are constantly shaking their positions!"
"I'm not afraid of you making a joke." Kim Jong-ming also swallowed the skirt in his mouth, and then answered seriously. "I actually think that the only thing I can see clearly is this time! Who can win? Who will lose? Who made the wrong bet? Who made a lot of money? Who is staring at whom? I feel that I have really learned everything this time... So, it's not that I can't wait, but that I'm ready to get the biggest benefit from seizing the biggest bet this time! Then I hope to grow up quickly, and wait until the next time I can be invincible and not take risks!"
"When did you start preparing?" Li Xiuman's eyes were a little confused. He had been with this young man for a long time and instinctively told him that the other party was not lying. This time, the other party seemed to have really had a great grasp of the situation and had the greatest insight into the situation.
"Since the warship sank in March last year," Kim Jong-ming replied calmly. "Or... it was when the warship sank, I won the Baeksang Award under Park Geun-hye's pressure. From then on, I made up my mind to take a gamble! After all, I don't want to be so depressed anymore!"
Kim Jong-ming's answer made Li Xiuman, who had just felt a little convincing about him, feel a huge absurdity in his heart! It will be 2012 soon, and it has been almost two years since the warship sinks or the Baeksang Art Awards... At that time, how much money did Kim Jong-ming have? How much power did he have? How much reputation does he have? How much execution power does he have?
More importantly, after two years, Park Geun-hye hadn’t even gotten Kim Moon-sung yet? Another important potential stock in the ruling party, Seoul Mayor Oh Se-hoon was still proud! Moon Jae-in had not won Qiu Mi Ai yet, and An Cheol-soo was giving lectures at Seoul University! Even today’s candidates have not qualified, why did you understand the current situation and prepare?!
But... I don't know if Kim Jong-ming's acting is superb or infatuated, but Lee Soo-man also felt that Kim Jong-ming didn't lie to him. He really had been preparing for so long... Considering that the final victory or defeat was at the end of 2012, this shows that Kim Jong-ming started preparing three years before the results of the bet were announced!
What is this?!
"Anyway." Jin Zhongming raised his eyebrows slightly. "I appreciate the kindness of senior, but you should also feel my attitude..."
"What?" Li Xiuman, who had not yet struggled with that absurdity and inexplicable sense of conviction, asked blankly.
"Nothing." Jin Zhongming took the chopsticks and turned back the clean turtle shell in front of him, then picked up the chopsticks and made a coincidence. "I have been lying on the beach for three and a half years, and today I have been swaying and turning over... In 2012, no one can stop me! After 2012, no one can control me!"
"A question." Li Xiuman was silent for a long time before speaking. "Are you treating others as a turtle, preparing to take advantage of the other party's body to chew, or treating yourself as a turtle, preparing to take advantage of the big waves to turn over and go into the sea?"
Chapter completed!
