Chapter 466: War of words
"Also, he actually dares to go to the company to pick you up in an upright manner."
"And you can talk about him in the company unscrupulously, without any thought of hiding from others."
"You are so arrogant. If it weren't for your special status and the company had issued a warning, would you still be as relaxed as you are now?"
"Do you think that everyone is blind and deaf?"
"That is to say, you are lucky, and you are very careful on weekdays, and you are not photographed. Otherwise."
"Is it as exaggerated as you said?"
"We don't do anything on weekdays, do we?"
Listening to Jessica's complaints, Sunny also showed a rare embarrassed expression, looking a little embarrassed.
If Jessica hadn't mentioned this matter today, she really wouldn't have known that she was usually as arrogant as she said.
Just looking at Jessica's serious eyes, Sunny immediately lost the desire to defend herself.
After remembering this matter in her mind, she quickly started to change the topic and spoke to Jessica and Kim Taeyeon next to her.
"Okay, I will pay attention to it in the future."
"But the company will strengthen training and learn Chinese, which is also a good thing for you."
"I believe you have also seen the development of China and the huge market size there."
"Learning Chinese now will be of great benefit to your development."
"Of course we know this."
"Anyone with a discerning eye can see the company's peek into the Chinese market."
“It’s just that learning Chinese is too difficult.”
Seeing Sunny change the topic, Jessica did not continue to pursue her, but followed her words and started to answer.
But after she finished speaking, she looked at Kim Taeyeon next to her with a strange look.
"And speaking of it, Taeyeon, you will start learning Chinese even if there is no requirement from the company."
"After all, Sunny and Ha La have started to study now. If you don't study, wouldn't you be a bit out of tune?"
"Yeah~~, Sika, what did you say?"
Listening to Jessica's teasing, Kim Taeyeon naturally knew what she meant, and immediately fell into Hongwen's state.
Although she has slowly accepted her identity as Huang Xu's girlfriend.
But when I heard Jessica's teasing, I still couldn't help but feel a little shy.
Compared to Sunny and Goo Hara, they are already completely devoted to Hwang Wook.
She is still hesitating now.
Even though I was with Huang Xu, I was very happy.
But in her heart, she still wants to continue her acting career and sing more songs for her fans.
So now she is still hesitating and struggling with how to choose and how to deal with her relationship with Huang Xu and Sunny Goo Hara.
Looking at Kim Taeyeon's tangled look, Jessica suddenly realized something, and then looked at Sunny next to her with doubtful eyes.
"What's wrong with her?"
"It's okay."
Sunny looked at the confused Jessica and gave her a reassuring look in return.
Then he changed the topic again.
"Okay, don't worry about what happens next. Now let's think about what happens after we go to the company tomorrow."
"Ah~~~, no."
Hearing what Sunny said, Jessica and Kim Taeyeon didn't care about anything else and let out miserable wails.
Obviously, as old employees of SM, the two of them know the company quite well.
One can already imagine what kind of reaction the company will have if the program team that he and others have high hopes for in the company performs so poorly.
Being scolded is already the lightest punishment.
While Sunny and the other two were in the apartment, wailing with grimaces, Huang Xu on the other side was laughing happily with Jia Yueting.
After watching Tara's performance, the two of them stopped caring about the show and sat down directly at the dining table to enjoy tonight's feast.
Although the dishes in this private restaurant are very delicious, it really opened Huang Xu's eyes.
But neither of them focused on the dishes.
After a round of routine business foreplay, the two began to test each other's ideas.
Both of them knew that the purpose of tonight's dinner was very clear, that is, to discuss the issue of the say of the new company after the cooperation between the two parties.
This is why Huang Xu came alone for the appointment today, and Jia Yueting didn't ask anyone else to accompany him.
As for the possibility that the two people could not reach an agreement and would not cooperate in the end, the two people immediately ruled out this possibility.
When the two parties met for the first time, they had already laid a firm foundation for cooperation.
Then, after Jia Yueting led a team to Seoul for inspection, the possibility of cooperation was unlimitedly increased.
Huang Xu needs Jia Yueting's connections to help him open the door to the Chinese market and resist the influence of various circles.
As for Jia Yueting, he needs Huang Xu, and Huang Xu, or (Li Xiuman)'s personal connections to help him make up for the shortcomings of his big entertainment strategy.
Therefore, cooperation between the two parties is almost inevitable.
But after cooperation, whose words count in the company, who should listen to them, is the focus of their discussion today.
"Mr. Jia, it's not that I don't believe you, but the entertainment industry is different from the industry you were engaged in before. There are too many fragments in it, and you can't get what's on the table."
“And these things are indispensable in the industry.”
"So my opinion is, professional people do professional things."
"Oh, Mr. Huang, I don't like hearing what you say."
After listening to Huang Xu's words, Jia Yueting unceremoniously rejected Huang Xu's words.
"What do you mean I don't understand!"
"Whether it's the entertainment industry or the entertainment industry, to put it bluntly, isn't it just that?"
"Don't forget, I have been running a video website for several years, and I also have an agency and a production company."
"Do you think I don't understand the things you said?"
Jia Yueting first smiled and denied what Huang Xu said, then changed the subject and said to Huang Xu.
"As for what you said, professionals doing professional things, I fully agree."
"But I have already found the president of the new company. He is an executive of a company in the circle. He can be said to be a standard professional."
"Whether it is professional ability or business experience, they are all reassuring,"
"If he serves as CEO, I believe he can protect the company."
"Really?"
“I wonder which company’s executive you are?”
After hearing Jia Yueting's rebuttal, Huang Xu was not anxious, but asked for specific information about the new president.
Unfortunately, when faced with Huang Xu's inquiry, Jia Yueting did not disclose specific information, but was vague.
"We are in contact now, and it is not convenient to disclose specific information."
"Understood, I understand."
Seeing that Jia Yueting was unwilling to disclose information, Huang Xu was also a little disappointed. If he knows the specific information about the opponent, then he can launch an attack against the opponent.
But just because he didn't say anything, it didn't mean that Huang Xu had nothing to do. After Huang Xu calmed down for a while, he said to Jia Yueting again.
"Since you don't want to say it, I won't ask."
"There are only a few domestic brokerage companies that you can look at."
"I just want to ask you, do you think they are professional?"
"In other words, have they ever managed idols?"
"Do you know what you need to pay attention to when operating idols or idol groups?"
"This"
After hearing Huang Xu's series of questions, Jia Yueting also fell into hesitation.
Although some people don’t want to admit it, the reality is as Huang Xu said, the domestic idol industry is indeed in its infancy.
Not to mention running idols and idol groups, maybe they don’t have any special understanding of the idol industry.
In this regard, South Korea and Japan are significantly ahead of their domestic counterparts.
But what he is worried about now is that if he admits this, doesn't it mean that control of the company will be given up?
This is not in line with his strategic goals!
Huang Xu, who had been watching Jia Yueting's reaction, naturally saw the hesitation on his face, and then asked again.
"Let's not talk about the traditional companies that mainly deal with actors and singers, but let's talk about the domestic companies that have already started the idol business."
"The most well-known company in China now is probably your neighbor Lehua."
"Yes."
"They are the most well-known people in China now."
Regarding this, Jia Yueting did not deny it, but directly nodded in affirmation of Huang Xu's words.
He still has a certain understanding of Lehua Company. After all, they are all making a living in the capital.
It's just that compared to him and his LeTV, Lehua's role is that of a small Karami.
In fact, if they hadn't contacted him because of their friend relationship and hoped to get some investment from him, he might not really be familiar with the business here.
Although he didn't invest in the end, Jia Yueting was a little lucky at this time. Because of this incident, he had a certain understanding of domestic economic companies.
When Huang Xu saw Jia Yueting nodding in agreement, he continued to say to him.
"Now that Mr. Jia knows them, things will be simpler."
"Logically speaking, they are a relatively well-known company and should be considered relatively professional."
"And one of their shareholders is an artist from SM."
"In this case, no matter what aspect they are involved in, they should have strict requirements and make the most professional and best-selling products"
"But do you think they are professional now?"
"Whether it is artist training, team cooperation, or business capabilities, do you think they are qualified?"
"Not to mention old entertainment companies like SM, I feel that they are not as professional as my grassroots team."
"This"
Hearing what Huang Xu said, Jia Yueting's expression became even worse.
Because he discovered that everything Huang Xu said was true. Think back to the SM company he visited in Seoul a few days ago, and even Huang Xu's company.
When comparing China's current companies, the levels of both parties are indeed not on the same level.
But this discovery made him extremely entangled, a little unable to make a decision, and he fell into deep thought.
On the one hand, he is not strong enough, not professional enough, and has no relevant experience, but he is his own person and can be trusted.
On the other hand, both professionalism and relevant experience are far superior to those of his opponents.
But the other party is not one of his own.
He was a bit embarrassed as to how he should choose.
Just when Jia Yueting was extremely entangled and thinking about what he should choose next, Huang Xu, who was next to him, naturally saw Jia Yueting's entanglement.
However, although he was secretly laughing in his heart, Huang Xu's face still showed a very calm expression, without any trace of pride.
Instead, he picked up the wine dispenser, poured a glass of white wine for the silent Jia Yueting, and then said softly.
"Mr. Jia, I know your concerns. You have to think about your company and your employees."
"But actually, you don't have to be so entangled, there are solutions to things."
"Oh, Mr. Huang, do you have any suggestions? I'm all ears."
Seeing that Huang Xu had seen through it, Jia Yueting didn't feel any embarrassment. Instead, he directly picked up the wine glass and clinked it with Huang Xu.
After finishing the drink, he looked at Huang Xu.
He was really curious now and was ready to hear what kind of reasons Huang Xu was going to use to convince himself.
Seeing Jia Yueting like this, Huang Xu slowly finished the glass of wine, took a bite of the food, and then slowly explained.
"The thing is very simple. You can continue to look for the CEO you are looking for, and you can continue to take on the administrative work of the company."
"It's just that he is only responsible for the management of the company's administrative work."
"You mean, he is not responsible for managing artists?"
Listening to Huang Xu's words, Jia Yueting also realized at this time what Huang Xu was thinking.
After a brief thought, a bright smile appeared on his face.
Although the method Huang Xu said was a bit shocking and inconsistent with the general situation.
But if you think about it carefully, you will find that this is a solution that has the best of both worlds.
He is worried that the person at the helm of the company is not his confidant, and his ability to control the company will decline.
Huang Xu has been saying that domestic managers are unprofessional and have no experience in managing idol groups.
Then it would be nice to combine them.
His own people are responsible for administrative management, while Huang Xu's "professionals" are responsible for professional matters.
It can be said to be the best of both worlds.
Of course, he knew in his heart that these were just appearances.
The real point of conflict between the two of them is actually the company's right to speak, and who has the final say in the company. This is the key point.
Now that Huang Xu has taken the initiative to give in and not be responsible for daily operations and only focus on artists, it is a good option.
So after thinking about this, he picked up the wine dispenser, poured Huang Xu a glass of wine and said.
"Mr. Huang's move is really good, so it's decided like this?"
"It's settled!"
Seeing that Jia Yueting agreed, Huang Xu also nodded and directly finalized the matter.
After the two of them clinked their wine glasses, the matter was finally settled.
At least that's the decision for the time being.
After finishing the glass of wine, the atmosphere in the private room became much calmer than just now.
The two chatted for another minute or two, and after tasting a few bites of the dishes, Jia Yueting suddenly looked up at Huang Xu and asked.
"Mr. Huang, if it were you"
