The 229th chapter poaching the KARA combination
Since the last highway ambush happened, the four major families have been working hard to make up for their mistakes. It is clear that Han Ankang is a very skilled in medicine, and the four major families have also increased their speed in purchasing and looking for alchemy furnaces. However, this slightly rare antique can be heard without paying much attention to it, but when it is necessary, it is difficult to find its trace.
It can be said that the four major families who mobilized relationships to find such real ancient alchemists to refine alchemy furnaces, relying on their respective influences and their relationship network outside South Korea. They have been working hard to find the work until the senior executive of the Jin family in the Hong Kong office sent a list of auctions from Gatoria Auction, which clearly hangs a picture of an ancient round alchemy furnace on it.
According to the information provided by the auction house, this is a long-standing alchemy furnace. The material of the alchemy furnace is different from that of ordinary common alchemy furnaces. In addition, its shape and pattern are well preserved, the starting price of this alchemy furnace ordered by the auction house has reached 30 million Hong Kong dollars. If someone likes it, if you want to buy this alchemy furnace, you may have to increase the price.
It was precisely because I saw the reference materials above, and I heard Han Ankang say that the alchemy furnace he needed was not an ordinary alchemy furnace. Jin Yongan felt that this alchemy furnace, which was not of great material in the late Han Dynasty, was not well-known. Maybe it was the alchemy furnace that Han Ankang wanted to find, specially refined by Qi Refiners, and the materials used were naturally not ordinary copper and iron.
In addition, compared to ordinary alchemy furnaces, the patterns have long been rusted in such a long time. However, from the photos, the patterns of this alchemy furnace seem to be well maintained, and the patterns seem to be integrated with the alchemy furnace. Ordinary sculptors may find it difficult to carve such intuitive and clear patterns. It is precisely these characteristics that make the starting price of this alchemy furnace worth 30 million Hong Kong dollars.
After listening to Jin Yongan's introduction, Han Ankang also felt that these characteristics should be more reliable than the alchemy furnace he needed. Because compared to ordinary alchemy furnaces, the alchemy furnaces refined by Qi Refiners are amazing. Ordinary craftsmen cannot melt those special materials at all, let alone decorations such as carving patterns on them.
It is clear whether it is the alchemy furnace he wants. At that time, just witness it with his own eyes. I believe it will be absolutely certain. The quality of one alchemy furnace can directly describe the chance of success of the alchemist. This Nine Dragon Alchem furnace must not be an ordinary alchem furnace. For this reason, Han Ankang happily decided to set off for Hong Kong to attend the auction.
If that alchemy furnace was really what he wanted, he would have to be auctioned at all costs. What's more, he had a sense that this alchemy furnace might not be simple. If he missed it, he might not regret it.
Kim Yongan was naturally very happy to hear that Han Ankang was willing to go there in person. Because of his age, he naturally couldn't accompany him in person. However, in order to ensure that the auction was foolproof, Kim Yongan would ask his son to accompany Han Ankang to Hong Kong in person to attend a large-scale auction held three days later. However, Han Ankang refused, which made Kim Yongan seem extremely puzzled.
Han Ankang, who came to another room with his mobile phone, quickly said to Jin Yongan who was confused in his heart: "Old Jin, if this alchemy furnace is really a alchemy furnace made by Qi Refiners, ordinary people would not understand its real price at all. But if someone knows its value, I am afraid this auction will not be simple. I don't want you to take this kind of danger.
Although I don’t know yet. I don’t have any Qi Refiners in this world besides me, in order to ensure that everything is foolproof, Mr. Jin only needs to tell your executives to prepare an invitation to the auction house for me. I have my own plans for other things. If I can meet Qi Refiners in the auction house, my existence will give the other party a certain shock and will not cause your Jin family to burn.
If you can't meet a Qi Refiner, it means that no one knows his actual value. It doesn't matter whether you send someone to accompany me or not. As long as the price is higher, do you still think I can't afford this amount of money? And I personally think that if I take the auction, it won't attract attention. If you have your son by your side, it will attract more attention. Wouldn't you?"
Knowing that he, a half-do-monk, is perhaps the least singular qi-refining man. In the inheritance of Taoist medicine, Han Ankang knew very well that Qi-refining man was devoted to pursuing the art of immortality. As long as that thing is useful to them, he would not care whether you have money or power. The methods you take were very violent and you would be able to escape if you get the things.
If there is an obvious goal like the Jin family, if you are not sure if he is the only Qi Refiner in this world, Han Ankang would not want the Jin family to take such risks. If the Jin family does not know the strength of Qi Refiner, he, a Qi Refiner in the Fasting Realm, is very clear that Qi Refiner wants to assassinate ordinary people, but I am afraid that not everyone can stop it.
With this explanation, I thought Han Ankang wanted to put aside those who were fortunate to help and did not want to owe him favors to the Jin family, and felt a little blushed. This was really a vilish person to judge a gentleman. Soon he agreed to Han Ankang's suggestion and not send family members to accompany him, but instead asked the company's head in Hong Kong to accompany him throughout the whole process.
After talking to Kim Yongan, Han Ankang, who originally wanted to have a call with Chen Long, finally decided to talk to him after he arrived in Hong Kong. Otherwise, with Chen Long's attitude of several invitations, he would probably be inevitable to pick him up at the airport when he learned that he was going to Hong Kong. In this way, it would be difficult not to disturb the media.
Han Ankang, who returned to Kim Inha's office, quickly decided to set off for Hong Kong early tomorrow morning. Jeon Ji-hyun, who had just completed the franchise today, would also accompany him tomorrow. As for whether he could find a partner in Hong Kong, he was talking about it when he arrived in Hong Kong. At least Han Ankang knew whether he could have the opportunity to cooperate, and he had to see Chen Long before he knew.
Considering that this trip to Hong Kong was not a formal event, Jun Ji-hyun didn't need to prepare anything. He quickly stated that after meeting at the airport tomorrow, he happily left LOEN. Shortly after she left the company, the news of Jun Ji-hyun joining was published on the website of LOEN, which immediately caused a lot of discussion in the entertainment industry.
The entertainment media, which has a good relationship with Jun Ji-hyun, also contacted her as soon as possible and asked about the authenticity of this matter. After being personally admitted by Jun Ji-hyun, she said that she would attend the franchise press conference held by LOEN for her in a week. With this confirmation, many South Korean entertainment companies also feel a sense of crisis that a wolf is coming.
Even Li Xiuman, who saw this news, lamented that this LOEN company has Han Ankang as a backer. In addition, Jin Inha, an ambitious professional, and has such a good foundation and platform, it is only a matter of time before he rises. At least in Li Xiuman's opinion, LOEN company will not have direct conflicts of interest with S*M at least for a short time.
The president of Jin Inha, the company, was not concerned about the disturbance caused by this information outside. All the interview calls from the media were handed over to the department responsible for dealing with the media. He was now looking at Han Ankang with some confusion, considering that after Jun Ji-hyun left, Han Ankang raised another difficult question.
This difficult question is undoubtedly the ownership of the KARA group. Compared with an artist like Jun Ji-hyun who does not have a contract, it is very common to change a new owner, and no one can say anything wrong.
But the five girls in KARA's combination are different. They currently have contracts. In addition, although their agency is not ranked among the top three in South Korea, they have a certain influence in the industry. Although Kim Inha believes that as long as Han Ankang is willing to intervene, the boss of KARA's agency can only give the contracts of the five girls.
But in this way, the news will inevitably lead to the attacks from the industry. After all, this is a very offensive act of poaching and will be morally condemned. This is likely to be unanimously excluded by peers for LOEN companies, which have a sense of crisis in the industry, and this will also have a certain negative impact on the company's reputation.
Perhaps seeing Jin Inha's entangled performance, Han Ankang also asked curiously: "Brother Inha, is this difficult to deal with?"
It is clear that Han Ankang is not a professional entertainment person and does not understand some of the unspoken rules of the industry. Jin Inha thought for a while and said, "It is not difficult to deal with it. As long as these five girls are determined to terminate the contract with the company, it is not difficult for us to accept them. Although it will make other entertainment companies dislike it, the five girls who are really affected by this.
I have also learned about the five girls in the KARA group. Overall, they are very strong. If they receive the company, I believe they will have some results. The key is to make this happen too much and let the media know that the popularity they have accumulated in South Korea will probably be destroyed in one go. Without the support of fans, artists will not be able to survive.
So, if you leave this matter to me, then I have two ways of doing it. One is to let those five girls fight against the agency and terminate the contract with the appeal court with harsh treaties. With our connections, winning the case should not be a problem. But in that case, the five girls will not be able to move in the South Korean entertainment industry in a short time.
The second operating mode is that I first contact President Li of their company and smoothly receive all KARA resources. The news that they have switched to our company will not be announced to the public for the time being.
The team responsible for them can be packaged and accepted into our company as a whole. The price will be higher, but the impact on the five girls will be much smaller, and it will not affect the reputation of our company.
In fact, the most important point is whether these five girls are really willing to join our company. As long as they are determined to leave, with my understanding of the directors of DSP company, as long as they give enough benefits, they will not feel sorry for holding the entire company and selling it. But in that case, our price will be a bit high."
As soon as the two conditions were expressed, Han Ankang quickly chose the second method. However, before that, he thought it would be more appropriate to meet the five girls and talk about it. First understand their actual situation, it would be easier for Han Ankang to intervene.
