Chapter 1272 JY Entertainment(1/2)
South Korea, Seoul.
Chen Qing has a decisive personality.
After finishing the call with her boss, Chen Qing had breakfast while already planning the things Simon had just explained.
When breakfast ended, Chen Qing first answered the phone call from her core assistant Ran Yue in China, talked about pushing the game console ban, and told Ran Yue to first make a plan, such as how to operate at the public opinion level, which departments should be lobbyed at the government level, etc., and contact with senior executives of the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, etc.
After explaining this matter, Chen Qing assigned tasks to the team in South Korea to investigate the situation of the Internet cafe industry in South Korea.
I just talked about more details. My boss hopes that the Internet cafe chain we cooperate with SK next year can be launched at least 100,000 computers.
Even if the average number of 100 Internet cafes is calculated, it is 1,000, which is a very large project, and it is still very necessary to clarify the market first.
Moreover, Chen Qing has already thought about the order for 100,000 computers.
Don’t the fat water flow to outsiders’ fields?
The Excellent Computer Brand, which was originally tweaked in the country, is developing well now, and this time it can enter South Korea.
If it is before the IMF agreement, there are still some thresholds for this matter. After signing the agreement, South Korea's trade barriers will be completely broken, so there is no need to worry about similar issues.
Chen Qing didn't have the idea of eating her own boss and big business. Internet cafe computers must be low-end customized and placed in China. Even if the inevitable tariffs are included, the cost will definitely be cheaper than in South Korea.
In addition, it is still in China.
Chen Qing felt that even if she did not have the so-called strategic significance that her boss said, considering that a large number of game halls were banned after the next ban on game consoles, the status of Internet cafes would inevitably rise.
This is also an opportunity.
Chen Qing then contacted the head of Excellent Technology in China and asked them to consider developing several low-end computers specially used in Internet cafes. The price must be cheaper than assembly machines. In the next few years, a team can be organized to develop related businesses.
Because it can be imagined that if the game console ban can be achieved in the next step, and China Telecom will increase its broadband network construction layout, the country will definitely usher in a good time when Internet cafes are blooming everywhere.
Let’s not talk about whether you invest in an Internet cafe or not, it’s definitely not right to sell computers.
The goal of Excellence now is to increase shipments at all costs and seize market share.
Then push for an IPO.
Cash out on the market.
Because Chen Qing also found that the computer industry, at least compared to many other projects she is doing, is indeed not a good business. The big deal is all in the hands of upstream software and hardware manufacturers, and all she earns is hard-earned money.
Thank you for your hard money.
If you regret it, you should follow the advice of your boss.
But since you have done it, there must be a beginning and an end.
After decorating these things, near ten o'clock, Chen Qing left Simon's mansion in Itaewon and headed to the Presidential Palace of Blue House.
In the morning, we met with Kim Yongsan to discuss Kia Auto.
When Kia went bankrupt, Hyundai, Daewoo and Samsung all hoped to annex Kia, but the authorities of Kim Yongsan didn't want to offend any of the three families, so they ignored it.
Now, the Westeros system is intervening, and its strength is far above the three companies. In addition, the ruling party that will lose the Blue House is basically sure to make friends with Simon so as to pave the way for regaining the presidential position in the future, and is happy to sell this face.
Next, the Westeros system will organize an acquisition consortium to help Samsung take over Kia. Of course, the premise is that Samsung Electronics will be taken first.
Although this matter has entered the substantial negotiation stage, whether it is Samsung or the acquisition or acquisition of the other two related businesses, several chaebols are tug at each other and deliberately delaying it.
It's about the stock price.
Only in the past week, South Korea's stock market rebounded 23% due to a bailout agreement with the IMF.
Among them, Samsung Electronics, the stock price of the company has rebounded, and the appreciation of the Korean won, and the current market value is equivalent to US$5.7 billion, an increase of US$1.8 billion from the previous lowest point. However, this is still far from the market value of Samsung Electronics at its peak before the semiconductor price plummeted in 1996.
The other two are basically the same.
Therefore, for the three companies, even if they are very clear that some things cannot be changed, if they reach an agreement one day later, the price of their own related assets can be higher.
After Chen Qing communicated with her boss, she did not oppress her too hard.
Of course, deadlines are also given.
Before December 31 this year, if the three companies are still unwilling to sign an agreement, then don’t talk about it anymore. The Westeros system is not without other support goals.
Moreover, before the agreement was signed, the three companies would not expect to get any benefits from the Westeros system.
Just like Lee Kun-hee had talked with Chen Qing before, she hoped that Nokia, Tinkobaier and other companies would increase their component procurement for Samsung Electronics first, but Chen Qing directly refused. There is also Kia, and Chen Qing reached a tacit understanding with Kim Yong-san's authorities this time, but before the Lee family lets go of Samsung Electronics, they also couldn't get Kia.
After the meeting with Kim Yongsan, Chen Qing met with Jared Barkley, who was originally promoted from the president of China's business to the president of Asia-Pacific business under Apollo Management, who was responsible for the Korean operation. In addition, there are Swiss girl Charlotte Brenita, who has been active in her own boss's investment network in recent years, as well as several Korean or Korean chess pieces that Simon began to scatter very early. These chess pieces are much higher than those of Quan Zhengting. They are currently participating in relevant negotiations with the three companies and will serve as directors or executives of related companies in the future.
This meeting mainly summarizes the progress of negotiations with the three companies in the past week and plans the negotiation ideas for next week.
After talking about the matter, we had a dinner together at noon and contact each other.
At one o'clock in the afternoon, the others dispersed and Chen Qing rushed to Jiangnan District.
Sancheng Cave in Jiangnan District.
In an office building here, an entertainment company recently acquired is conducting trainee auditions.
The company is called JY Entertainment.
The name is taken from the first letter of the founder Shin Jae-Yoon. Shin Jae-Yoon, who is 43 years old this year, once worked in MBS, one of the three major Korean TV stations. He is good at producing music programs. He resigned five years ago and started JY Entertainment. Several combinations launched successively received good responses.
But it was a small fuss after all.
After the Westeros system initiated the acquisition invitation, it revealed some direct descendants slightly. Even if the remaining 20% of the shares were required, and the remaining 20% of the shares were even less, Shen Zailun still agreed.
This is a smart person.
Don’t have money to read novels? I’ll give you cash or coins, and I’ll receive them for a limited time of 1 day! Follow the public account [Book Friends Camp] and get them for free!
In fact, many offers were rejected for this big shopping trip to Korean entertainment days. However, those refusing entertainment companies will inevitably disappear without a trace under the crushing of powerful resources of the Westeros system.
After 1997, South Korea was destined to be no longer a world where flowers bloom.
Even if the cultural industry begins to prosper after the promulgation of the "Cultural Country" next year, it will not bloom in all directions and will still be the world of chaebol giants.
Chen Qing had just arrived. Shin Jae-lun, who heard the news, and Han Yun-soo, the second sister-in-law of Sung Tae-hee, who had just joined the company recently, greeted her with respect and humility.
Because they all already know Chen Qing's general details.
Simon Westeros' woman, just this, is enough to make the two look up to them.
Just talking about JY Entertainment, which acquired 80% of its shares, Westeros system only injected $5 million into this company, which actually means that JY Entertainment's previous price was only $1.25 million.
Money is often the simplest measure for a person's social status.
Running a company worth one million US dollars, for most ordinary people, Shen Zailun is already a successful person. However, not to mention the Westeros system, even for the local chaebol, it is still a small Xiami who cannot be as small as the local chaebol.
As for Sung Tae-hee's sister-in-law, Han Yun-soo was stuffed by Chen Qing to act as a caregiver.
Whether it is this JY Entertainment or other Westeros system-controlled entertainment companies, the trainee girls selected are all the food of their own boss in Chen Qing's opinion, so they arranged characters similar to Han Yunxiu to take care of them to avoid guys who should not be able to reach out and stretch out their hands randomly unless their own boss picks up the rest, otherwise, they will reach out and shoot their hands and stomp their feet.
Han Yunxiu was a small leader in the personnel department during her work at Jinlu, suitable for handling related matters. Of course, ability and other things are not very important. The key is that Cheng Tae-hee introduced it, which is more reliable than strangers.
Chen Qing also concealed her purpose.
Just like JY, whether it is Han Yunsoo himself or Shin Jae-lun, Chen Qing has emphasized this matter bluntly. If Shin Jae-lun needs a woman, he can go to other places to find her. There is no shortage of similar occasions in South Korea, but the company must abide by the rules and do it with peace of mind.
After a simple greeting, the three of them entered the office building together.
Chen Qing, who was walking in front, asked: "Have you discovered a better seedling recently?"
Shen Zailun was over 1.8 meters tall and thin. After following Chen Qing a little later, he bowed slightly and said, "Yes, Miss Chen, I'll let them see you later."
Chen Qing nodded slightly and turned to the stairs under the guidance of Shen Zailun. As soon as she arrived at the second floor, she saw a group of young men and girls waiting in the aisle, with a few parents accompanying her, and another room with a door open, probably the waiting room, which was obviously full.
Seeing Chen Qing and others appear, the crowd who were already whispering suddenly became quiet.
Chen Qing ignored it, just looked around casually, and walked towards the interview room on the other side of the aisle under the reminder of Shen Zailun.
As soon as I got closer, the door of the interview room happened to open, and two women, one big and one small, walked out. It was obviously a mother and daughter, both about 1.7 meters tall. The mother looked only in her early thirties, wearing a Chanel camel windbreaker that Chen Qing happened to recognize. Her daughter was fifteen or sixteen years old, with a slender figure and a fashionable dress.
Moreover, the mother and daughter have very similar standard Korean oval faces, which are both fair and eye-catching.
However, the light of the eyes lasted only a few seconds.
When another interviewer was called in and the door was closed, the mother, one big and one small, raised her hand and hit her daughter in the head. She could see that she was not polite at all, and directly beat the girl to the point of staggering, cursing: "Aren't you a waste, you practice very well in private? Why do you become a fool in front of others, useless things?"
After saying that, he raised his hand again.
The little girl forgot to hide, and she pursed her lips in a hurry to wait for her mother's palm to fall again.
Chen Qing looked at him with interest, but Shen Zailun felt embarrassed and immediately scolded and stopped him, "Stop, is this a place where you can go wild? Security guard, blow them out."
The woman who didn't stop and gave her daughter a head, then realized that Chen Qing and the others were not the young girls waiting for the interview around. Seeing that the security guard who was responsible for maintaining order came forward and made a gesture of invitation, they realized that they must be the big man, but they did not leave obediently. Instead, they dragged their daughter forward and accurately recognized Chen Qing's core position among the three of them, pushed the little girl in front of Chen Qing, and said with a compliment: "Miss, can you give my Shanzhu another chance? She danced very well and had contacted ballet since she was a child, but she was a little afraid of life, so please."
As he said that, he pulled his daughter down again: "Hurry, show it to this lady."
The little girl named Shanzhu was about to froze in the interview room of a few people just now. At this time, the aisle of a bunch of people was even more impossible to show it. She just shook her head and looked pitiful, beating and scolding.
The woman was even more angry when she saw this.
During this period, due to the general environment, their family encountered a change. Her husband, who was originally an executive in Sanmei, was not only unemployed due to Sanmei's bankruptcy, but was later found to have embezzled the company's assets and was sentenced to jail for 20 years.
In order to avoid being implicated, the woman decisively chose to divorce the other party. After all, she chose to marry her husband who was 9 years older than her just to live a good life. She didn't want to be dragged for the rest of her life. However, although the divorce was successful, the mother and daughter, who were originally free of food and clothing, had no food and clothing, and all the house and car deposits were taken away. If she hadn't been able to live in the woman's elderly parents' home in Incheon, she would have almost left the streets.
After getting married to her husband, she has been a housewife and can’t do anything. Recently, she found that many entertainment companies are recruiting trainees, thinking that a daughter who is proficient in piano and dance since childhood will definitely be selected. If her daughter can become a big star, she, a mother, will have a settlement in the rest of her life.
Unfortunately, my daughter, who is good at singing and dancing in private, became a fool when she arrived in front of others.
