"It's really unusual for President Chen Chen to invite people to dinner." Li Xiuman, who was invited, said with a smile on his face, "No one in the industry has ever enjoyed this kind of treatment. Today is my honor."
"Because I have something to ask of you, so of course I need to treat you to dinner." Chen Chen didn't hide it, and said directly: "I want to ask the Silly Hat Company for a favor."
"You are right, it is indeed the Hongmen Banquet. "Li Xiuman was not surprised.
"You came even though you knew it was the Hongmen Banquet, didn't you still come?" Chen Chen smiled and handed the initiative to the other party, "Eat first or talk about the deal first?"
"Eat first. "Li Xiuman was in a good mood and even joked with Chen Chen, "If we talk first, it would be a big loss if the deal doesn't come to fruition. "
"Haha, let's eat first."
Chen Chen was not stingy and waved the waiter over to start serving food.
One course, two courses, three courses, four courses. As more and more dishes were served, Li Xiuman's expression became more and more serious.
Chen Chen guessed that he was panicking now, wondering what kind of demands would be waiting for him after such a luxurious meal.
“……”
"I wonder what kind of help C headquarters wants to ask the idiot company for?"
About halfway through the meal, Li Xiuman took the initiative to initiate a conversation.
“This matter has to start with my trainees.” Chen Chen took the topic far away, “You also know that I dote on my trainees very much and always provide them with the best. resources.”
“But those trainees are also very competitive, and the feedback they give is visible.”
“They are also studying at Shamao Company, you must know them. What's the situation?" Chen Chen looked at Li Xiuman.
"I do know that the trainees in C Division are so outstanding that they are enviable." Li Xiuman specifically nodded, "It makes me regret letting my two trainees go."
"What regrets? Don’t regret it. The plan of the stupid company is not in the C book. I learned a lot from the training process in the department." Chen Chen said lightly that it was all fair trade, and returned to the topic casually, "In the past few days, I have promoted the girls from the C department from trainees to preparations for debut. Before debuting, let them release a song to test the market. "
"You know, the idol reserve team is supposed to release songs, but it can't just be songs, it must also have a series of supporting actions." Chen Chen finally got down to business, "I think. Hire Ms. Min Xizhen from your company to be responsible for the image design and stage design for this time Waiting for work."
"..."
"Hiring is not possible." Li Xiuman thought for a while and shook his head, "But the C headquarters can be outsourced to Shamao Company, and we will consider taking you on. of this job.”
Recruitment means that Min Xizhen is temporarily transferred to work in the C headquarters; outsourcing means that the C department sends the girls to the Shamao Company, and the follow-up work is completed independently by the Shamao Company.
After hearing this result, Chen Chen’s first reaction was that the company didn’t want Min Xizhen to get too close to the C headquarters. The second reaction was that the company wanted to collect more detailed information about the girls.
"Outsourcing is also possible." Chen Chen thought for a while and nodded, "I require the right to have equal dialogue with Director Min. I can discuss and modify the specific content of the design plan with her."
"That's no problem, you are the party who pays for our services."
Li Xiuman agreed easily, as if it didn't matter as long as he was contacted by the idiot company.
"Then what if I want to make a documentary?" Chen Chen pressed forward, "Recording the real starting point of the girls, it may be useful in the future."
"You need to discuss this with Ms. Min, it belongs to you. "I'm only responsible for getting your quotation," Li Xiuman hinted. "So that's why your company's division of labor is so clear." Chen Chen kicked the ball. Go out and say, "I won't quote you any more. I'll reciprocate the offer. How about you make the offer and I'll counter-offer?"
"Hey~ Is there such a way of trading?" Li Xiuman was stunned for a moment, then smiled. He got up and said, "Then I have to think carefully about how to get benefits from the C headquarters that has risen like a comet." He said that he had to think carefully, but in fact, Li Xiuman didn't think about it at all and just threw away the conditions.
"How about increasing the revenue of Foolish Company by 0.50% during the splitting of accounts?" Li Xiuman stared at Chen Chen closely.
"Is it so expensive to ask Ms. Min to do something for you? You know how much money Paopao can give to idiots every month, so you also know the value of 0.50%." Chen Chen shook his head decisively and spoke quickly Although he was slow but his words began to become less polite, "There are many capable creative directors in South Korea. I just like Ms. Min's style so I chose Silly Hat Company. Silly Hat Company is not the only option available."
"Don't worry, I haven't finished speaking yet." Seeing Chen Chen's tough attitude, Li Xiuman also put the hidden things on the stage, "Give me this 0.50%, and my silly company will help you keep it. Those small companies.”
“It’s true that you, President Chen, have used variety shows to enter the Chinese market through Youyin and TikTok, making several of our big companies inseparable from your Paopao. This won’t work for some small companies. They simply don’t have the ability to foresee the Chinese market.”
“Foolish Company has been the leader in the South Korean entertainment industry for many years. We are confident to help you with this. Small companies stay on the bubble ”
"Can you accept it?" Li Xiuman looked at Chen Chen confidently.
"Well, in fact, bubbles will also become the voting channel for South Korea's 'produce series', so."
Chen Chen's expression was playful, as if to say that the company can do it for me without you, idiot. Leave other companies on the bubble.
“But if you can agree to my conditions, we can talk.” Chen Chen made a 180-degree turn, “Do you want to hear it?”
“I’d like to hear it. Details." Li Xiuman nodded gloomily.
"The day when we are going to talk about contract renewal is coming soon. If Foolish Company can help me extend the contract renewal period to seven years." When Chen Chen said this, he suddenly lowered his voice and leaned forward to Li Xiuman, "I am not only willing to This 0.50% will be given to Shamao Company, and I will also give 0.50% of Pao Pao’s income from Shamao Company’s artists to Chairman Li personally.”
After finishing speaking, Chen Chen. Returning to his normal sitting posture, he sat on the chair openly and asked: "What do you think? Do you need to consider it?"
"It's a deal."
Lee Soo Man couldn't wait to reach out his hand. Come.
Although it is only 0.50%, it is not of the same order of magnitude for the company as it is for him personally. There is no need to hesitate about this kind of thing.
"Well, it's a deal."
Chen Chen stretched out his hand and shook Li Xiuman's hand, and he didn't need to hesitate.
If Foolish Company can pressure all the entertainment companies in South Korea to sign a seven-year contract with Pao Pao, even an extra 10% will be a profit.
The person Chen Chen wants to attack is not the idiot, but the current Bighit, the future Korean entertainment overlord Hybe.
The company is very strong, especially in 2018, when other companies are struggling with a market value of 200 to 300 billion won. The market value of the company has exceeded one trillion won. It is an absolutely strong period.
It should be possible to pressure other entertainment companies to do something, and Chen Chen also hopes that idiots can do it.
"Hahaha, since we are testing the market, how about planning it as a comeback?" Li Xiuman was in a particularly good mood after receiving the benefits, "We will provide the service, Xuanfa I can also help you a little bit, what do you think?”
“That’s a good feeling.”
Chen Chen smiled and nodded.
