"Congratulations to BigHit for completing the listing. Chairman Fang has been working hard recently."
With a greeting that was as plain as boiled water, Chen Chen leisurely poured a glass of boiled water for Fang Shihe.
Restaurants in South Korea generally don't have this stuff, so Chen Chen specifically asked the waiter for it.
"Thank you."
Fang Shihe sat down with a tired look on his face. He was two times fatter than the last time they met.
What is this, stress fat?
"Sometimes I really envy C headquarters. We don't have to go public, and we don't have to worry about what's available or not." Fang Shihe took a mouthful of food and put it into his mouth. "I haven't eaten all day, so I'll take a few bites first. Don't worry." Mind.”
"As you wish." Chen Chen made a gesture of invitation, "I just happened to have dinner, so we don't need to eat together."
These words were a bit heartbreaking, but they didn't affect Fang Shihe's mood for eating.
"..."
After eating for a while, Fang Shihe wiped his mouth and sat up straight, as if he had just sat down.
But with such a huge body piled up in front of him, Chen Chen wanted to laugh no matter how he looked at it.
"BigHit will hold its first general meeting of shareholders in a week. I hope that Mr. Chen, a major shareholder, can attend the meeting." Fang Shihe respectfully handed over the invitation, "The specific time and place are on it."< br>
"Can I not go?"
Chen Chen took the invitation, looked at it, and asked with a smile.
"Theoretically yes, but you are the major shareholder with five shares after all, so it's better to show up." There was a flash of surprise on Fang Shihe's face, but in the end he calmed down and changed to a sincere face. "If you can appear at the shareholders' meeting, it will be a very good thing for BigHit's recent stock price rise."
Fang Shihe was not entangled. He knew that inviting Chen Chen there would be risky, because Chen Chen had always been a representative of unstable factors.
But Chen Chen is also the god of wealth in the industry. Wherever he is, everyone is making money.
Big Hit's instability factors are no less than Chen Chen's, but Chen's identity as the God of Wealth is the only one in the industry, so Fang Shihe has no idea what to choose.
"It depends on the situation. I've been quite busy recently." Chen Chen gave a very flexible answer, "I'll go if I have time. If I don't have time, forget it. Speaker Fang doesn't need to take me, Chen, too seriously. ”
"If you have time, please be sure to give me a compliment." Bang Si Hyuk wanted stable happiness, so he asked again, "Your presence is really important to BigHit."
"Hey, the whole of South Korea knows that I am a destabilizing factor. Why is Speaker Fang so obsessed with me, Mr. Chen?" Chen Chen glanced at him sideways, showing some malice, "You couldn't have prepared anything for me at the meeting. Are you going to treat me to the set meal?”
"BigHit has just gone public, and the company needs people like you to appear in front of the public to help win trust." Bang Si Hyuk replied unhurriedly: "When it comes to the most influential figures in the Korean entertainment industry in recent years, everyone at the shareholders' meeting has joined us. I am afraid that none of them can compare to you. Of course, BigHit is eager to invite you to appear.”
"I may not be free." Chen Chen said more firmly, "I'll go when I'm free!"
"Well" Fang Shihe thought about it and asked, "What are you busy with recently? Is there anything BigHit can help with?"
Hehe, I feel like Chen Chen is giving him some favorable conditions. But that’s okay. If Chen Chen, the person who took the initiative to stick his head out to be slaughtered, doesn’t kill him, it would be somewhat unreasonable.
"I have a lot of work on hand recently, such as opening a branch of Arlene Canteen, responding to netizens' requests, and paying attention to the trends of various departments in the C headquarters at the end of the year." Chen Chen said a bunch of words in a confused manner, and then suddenly said Turning point, "But if BigHit really wants to help, I'm really busy here and maybe you can help me."
"Please speak."
Fang Shihe took a deep breath and prepared to be slaughtered.
If he could get Chen Chen to attend the shareholders' meeting by paying some price, BigHit would definitely make money, and he would be willing to be ripped off.
"How is BigHit's relationship with CJ? Specifically, how is its relationship with M-net TV station?" Chen Chen asked.
"Huh?"
Fang Shihe was stunned for a moment.
The person who had tensed up his muscles and waited for the iron fist to come suddenly received a cotton punch first. This kind of shock and surprise would really short-circuit the brain.
"C Headquarters wanted to create a new girl group, but we encountered some difficulties in selecting members, so I wanted to take a shortcut and just choose from the Shorty King."
"Isn't it just that they will be disbanded in a few months? The separated members are very suitable to lead a new group, just like I.O.I."
"It's definitely not good to contact you in advance if you don't have any connections, so..." Chen Chen finished what he had to say while Fang Shihe was confused, "Can you lend me your connections at Big Hit?"
"Oh." Fang Shihe woke up and nodded without thinking, "Okay, BigHit will help you with this."
"But why doesn't C Headquarters do it on its own?" Fang Sihyuk asked later, "The relationship between C Headquarters and CJ is also very good, right?"
"It's okay, so I can't say anything about this kind of thing." Chen Chen spread his hands and replied: "This matter is too small. If it involves human relations, it will be C headquarters that suffers."
Unlike those who have a good relationship or a bad relationship where you can directly make requests, things between two parties who have a normal relationship often involve interpersonal relationships.
It's actually not a small thing to come into contact with the members of the Shorty King before the contract ends, but it is too small when compared to the size of the C headquarters. If he loses the favor here, Chen Chen will definitely want to slap himself twice. .
Are your favors so worthless? ! Snap, a slap.
Is CJ's favor so easy to owe? ! Snap, another slap.
At least two slaps, no upper limit.
"Understood, we will do our best to make arrangements." Fang Shihe nodded towards Chen Chen, "But you have to tell us in advance which member you want to contact at which time, and we can't make too many arrangements."< br>
"I still understand this." Chen Chen responded with a smile: "Thank you very much, Speaker Fang."
At present, the relationship between Big Hit and CJ is not so good that they can wear a pair of pants, but at least they can exchange jackets for each other. When Chen Chen opened his mouth to talk about this, he knew that Fang Shihe would definitely agree.
And Chen Chen no longer has to worry about whether he can get the El Chapo King member he wants, because the current result is that as long as the other party doesn't refuse, it will be done, and Big Hit will take care of it.
Why?
There is no reason. It would be too simple to just ask BigHit to send a message and set up a line. Fang Sihyuk himself did not dare to think so!
The value of Chen Chen's attendance at the BigHit shareholders' meeting is equivalent to the value of BigHit paying the price to get him the shortest member he wants. If it was as simple as just setting up a line to spread the word, then Fang Shihe would be too ignorant, let alone Chen. Chen's advantage has never been so easy to take advantage of.
"In this case, I should be able to make time for the shareholders' meeting in a week." Chen Chen finally cheerfully gave the answer that Bang Si Hyuk wanted to hear, "You saved me the time of selecting new girl group members. energy, of course I am willing to spend this energy on BigHit.”
"Speaking of, how are the preparations for BigHit's new girl group?" Chen Chen asked casually: "It seems that except for the news I heard once a long time ago, there is no news anymore."
"Member selection is in progress." Bang Si Hyuk shook out the information very openly, "Initially, we planned to collaborate with CJ to form a boy group and KakaoM to form a girl group."
"But now you have also seen that the production of the men's team with CJ is about to be completed, but there is no news at all about the women's team."
"It's not a very new reason, it's just that the cooperation with KakaoM collapsed. We couldn't stand each other's greed and toughness, so we chose to break up peacefully after getting along for a while."
"Because of this, BigHit's new girl group has been delayed for a while. It is currently in the stage of actively selecting members, which is in line with the progress of C headquarters."
"Actually, we are intentionally imitating the operation of C Headquarters in creating Integrate. We select good talents from entertainment companies that have a good relationship with Big Hit, conduct unified training, and then work together to debut. We hope to create a girl group that is 80% similar to Integrate."
"It seems a bit exaggerated to say eight points." Bang Sihyuk suddenly became modest at the end, "Integrate is an all-time great girl group. If our new girl group can reach five points, it will be great." "To say that. Is it clear? We are direct competitors after all.”
Chen Chen was not surprised by BigHit's actions. He was surprised by Fang Shihe's frankness in telling all these things.
"You are the major shareholder of BigHit. You can get this information by just asking the company when you are free. There is no point in hiding it from me." Fang Shihe smiled generously, "If I tell you this, I will have to give you two instructions." In other words, if BigHit’s new girl group can be even three points stronger, that’s what we’ve earned.”
"It's a pity that I'm not that idle, otherwise I might have said too much!" Chen Chen laughed out loud, "BigHit can mobilize much more powerful trainee resources than C headquarters. Under such resource density, Idol group production is quite enjoyable for every producer!”
"BigHit welcomes President Chen to create an idol group at any time." Bang Si Hyuk laughed along with him, "As long as you are free, we will be available at any time."
"I also hope that I can have that kind of free time." Chen Chen changed the topic, "Okay, okay, the food is getting cold while we are talking here, let's take a few bites quickly, don't waste it."
"..."
Let's chat casually, tell some jokes about recent events in the industry, and look forward to the future. Things like eating and chatting are a piece of cake for the two entertainment company bosses who are at the top of the Korean entertainment industry.
"What do you think of BigHit?"
Fang Shihe suddenly asked a question that made the atmosphere serious.
"Me personally?"
Chen Chen confirmed.
Fang Shihe nodded his head.
"For me personally, BigHit is a good money-making tool." Chen Chen did not hide anything. "I bought BigHit's stock before the market opened, and then sold it after it rose to a price that I was satisfied with." , which is actually more stable than investing in other stocks, right?”
"BTS has come back several times, and new boy groups and new girl groups have been promoted." Chen Chen smiled proudly, "Every move Big Hit makes makes money for me, this is so cool!"
"This is the meaning of investment." Fang Shihe also laughed, "Similarly, as the major shareholder of BigHit, the various actions of C Headquarters will also bring certain benefits to us."
< br>
"But when you plan to sell BigHit stocks, please contact me first." Fang Sihyuk added later, "I will give a higher price than the market."
"No problem." Chen Chen stretched out his hand and shook it. "This is a small agreement between us. It won't go online."
……
……
After going out for a meal, he learned information and gained an unexpected reward. Chen Chen felt like singing on the way home.
But he didn't sing it after all, because he suddenly thought that the netizens seemed to be unable to make a difference.
Chen Chen doesn't know which insider to pursue now. The real insider either called in advance to ask for face or bowed directly in front of the public, so he couldn't be selected.
After all, it is a matter of job security, and no one can be a stubborn donkey in this situation. There are always people in the company who are more stubborn than the person involved to deal with the stubborn donkey.
And those insiders who are tough-talking and tough-minded are all "insiders" with quotation marks. Those people will have fans coming to teach them a lesson. If Chen Chen intervenes to deal with them, he will bully the small and hurt. Instead, it’s his own reputation.
"I can't just beat up a stupid company, right? Although it's great, it's time-consuming and labor-intensive and has no benefits, so I always feel like it's a loss."
"Forget it, let's start the simplest plan."
When you really want to punish people on the Internet, there is always the simplest, most direct and most acceptable target for beating, the unscrupulous marketing account.
It is not an unscrupulous marketing account that does not add fuel and jealousy. It is not an unscrupulous marketing account that does not post comments and rhythm. It is not an unscrupulous marketing account that does not make mistakes. It is not an unscrupulous marketing account that does not get beaten.
Oops, let's pick an unlucky guy and see which domestic marketing account will be caught by Chen Chen as a sacrifice.
……
When I got to work, Golden Times came over to deliver a very, very important message.
"Starship's new boy band is ready."
"..."
"Hmm"
"What?!"
Chen Chen fainted, as if he had been struck by a thunderbolt from the sky.
"Starship's new boy group is ready and plans to debut early next year." Jin Shidai was not only depressed, but also depressed, "What I told you before was about the time when boy group and female group Starship chose a boy group. The ship wants to create a boy band using the members who returned from X1.”
"Oh, I did." Chen Chen forced himself to calm down, "I was just shocked by the efficiency of the starship, nothing else."
Yes, it’s so shocking, the time is completely different, okay!
Chen Chen has been in contact with the people who came back from X1 from Starship and knew that they should debut as CRAVITY in April this year!
But now that October is almost over, you, Golden Age, come to me and tell me that Starship’s new boy group is about to debut?
No, buddy, do you think this is reasonable? !
This is too reasonable. If the starship didn't even make this change, wouldn't the C headquarters have done so many operations in vain?
"Let's get on the starship when it's ready. Just use the C headquarters for resources." Chen Chen continued, "Anyway, the boy band's resources will get moldy and rusty if they stay in the C headquarters. I can make some contribution to the starship." Very good.”
"Starship also has resources and other resources. Raising a new boy band will definitely be enough for them. I came here mainly to ask about another thing."
Jin Shishi spoke cautiously, as if he was afraid of offending Chen Chen.
Chen Chen found it strange. He should not behave like this in the Xindao Golden Age. The relationship between everyone was not tense to this extent.
"What happened?"
Chen Chen said doubtfully.
"This is our new boy group, Starship." Jin Shidai said more and more sarcastically, "Can we call ourselves the junior group of Integrate after their debut?"
Damn your golden age, you really don’t regard yourself as an outsider!
You deserve to be naughty! Rather, it is so shameless to be able to say such shameless words and only make a coy gesture!
Integrate’s junior team? Just leave it here and rub it, who can rub it against you?
"What do you think?"
Chen Chen said with a gloomy face.
"I think it's impossible in theory." Jin Shiji said cautiously: "But sometimes reality may not necessarily develop according to theory, right?"
"Haha, that's good." Chen Chen clapped his hands twice without expression and said, "Starship's new boy band dares to call themselves the Integrate junior group, and I will stuff them back into Starship's belly. If you don't believe me, you can give it a try. ”
