Hollywood Hunter

Seoul, Korea.

Chen Qing has a vigorous personality.

After finishing the call with her boss, while eating breakfast, Chen Qing had already started to plan the few things that Simon had just explained.

After the breakfast was over, Chen Qing first got through to her core assistant Ran Yue in China, and talked about promoting the game console ban, and told Ran Yue to come up with a plan first, such as how to operate at the level of public opinion , which departments should be lobbied at the government level, and so on, as well as contacts with the top leaders of ICBC, and so on.

After explaining this matter, Chen Qing assigned a task to the South Korean team to investigate the Internet cafe industry in South Korea.

I just talked about more details, and my boss hopes that next year, the Internet cafe chain cooperating with sk will roll out at least 100,000 computers.

Even if the average number of Internet cafes is 100, it means 1,000. This is a very large project, and it is necessary to understand the market first.

Moreover, Chen Qing has already thought about the order of 100,000 computers.

The fat and water don't flow into outsiders' fields.

The excellent computer brand that was working in China at the beginning is developing well, and this time it can enter South Korea by the way.

If it was before the i agreement, there were still some thresholds for this matter. After the signing of the agreement, South Korea's trade barriers will be completely broken, so there is no need to worry about similar problems.

Chen Qing also didn't have the idea of ​​eating from her own boss's big family. The computers in the Internet cafes must be low-end customization, and they are made in China. Even if the inevitable tariffs are included, the cost must be cheaper than that in South Korea.

In addition, it is still domestic.

Chen Qing feels that even if there is no so-called strategic significance as mentioned by her boss, considering that after the ban on game consoles, a large number of game halls will be banned, the status of Internet cafes will inevitably rise.

This is also an opportunity.

Chen Qing then contacted the person in charge of excellent technology in China and asked them to consider developing several low-end computers specially for Internet cafes. The price must be lower than that of the assembled machine. In the next few years, a special team can be organized. develop related businesses.

Because it is conceivable that if the ban on game consoles can be implemented in the future, and China Telecom will increase the deployment of broadband network construction, the country will definitely usher in a good season for Internet cafes to bloom everywhere.

Leaving aside whether you invest in Internet cafes or not, selling computers is definitely right.

Joyo's current goal is to increase shipments at all costs and seize market share.

Then push the ipo.

IPO cash out.

Because Chen Qing also discovered that the computer business, at least compared to many other projects she was working on, was indeed not a good business. Most of it fell into the hands of upstream software and hardware manufacturers, and all she earned was hard money.

Hard money.

I regret it, I should have listened to my boss's advice.

But since it has been done, it must have a beginning and an end.

After arranging all these, at ten o'clock, Chen Qing left Simon's mansion in Itaewon and went to the Blue House Presidential Palace.

In the morning, I had a meeting with Kim Young-sam to discuss the matter of Kia Motors.

When Kia went bankrupt, Hyundai, Daewoo, and Samsung all hoped to annex Kia. The Kim Young-sam authorities did not want to offend any of the three, so they sat idly by.

Now, the Westeros system has stepped in, and its strength is far above the three. In addition, the ruling party, which is basically sure to lose the Blue House, is willing to sell this face in order to make friends with Simon and pave the way for regaining the presidency in the future.

Next, the Westeros system will organize an acquisition consortium to help Samsung take over Kia. Of course, the premise is that Samsung Electronics is first won here.

Regarding this matter, although it has entered the substantive negotiation stage, whether it is Samsung or the acquisition or shareholding of two other related businesses, several chaebols are fighting each other while deliberately delaying.

It's still a matter of stock price.

In the past week alone, the South Korean stock market rebounded by 23% because of the rescue agreement reached with i.

Among them, the stock price of Samsung Electronics has rebounded, coupled with the appreciation of the Korean won, the current market value has been equivalent to 5.7 billion U.S. dollars, which is an increase of 1.8 billion U.S. dollars from the previous lowest point, but this is equivalent to more than 100 million U.S. dollars at the peak of Samsung Electronics before the semiconductor price plummeted in 1996. The market value of tens of billions of dollars is still far apart.

The other two are basically the same.

Therefore, for the three companies, even if it is clear that certain things cannot be changed, if an agreement is reached one day later, the price of their related assets will be higher.

After Chen Qing communicated with her boss, she didn't oppress her too much.

Of course, deadlines are also given.

Before December 31 of this year, if the three companies are still unwilling to sign an agreement, then stop talking about it. The Westeros system is not without other support goals.

Moreover, before the agreement is signed, the three companies don't want to get any benefits from the Westeros system.

Just like Li Jianxi talked with Chen Qing before, hoping that Nokia, Tinkbel and others would first increase the procurement of components from Samsung Electronics, but Chen Qing directly refused. As for Kia, Chen Qing reached a tacit agreement with Kim Young-sam's authorities this time, but before the Li family let go of Samsung Electronics, they also couldn't get Kia.

After the meeting with Jin Yongsan, Chen Qing met with Jared Buckley, who was promoted from the initial Chinese business president to the Asia-Pacific business president of Apollo Management Company, who was in charge of the Korean operation. The Swiss girl Charlotte Brenita in the boss's investment network, as well as several Korean or Korean pawns Zheng Shoudong, Cui Yanxu, Zong Zhenghao, etc., who Simon started to cast early on.

It is much higher, and is currently participating in relevant negotiations with the three companies, and will serve as a director or executive of related companies in the future.

This meeting is mainly to summarize the progress of the negotiations with the three companies in the past week, and to plan the negotiation ideas for the next week.

After talking about things, we will have dinner together at noon to connect with each other.

At one o'clock in the afternoon, the others dispersed, and Chen Qing rushed to Jiangnan District.

Samseong-dong in Gangnam District.

In an office building here, a recently acquired entertainment company is conducting auditions for trainees.

The name of the company is jy entertainment.

The name is taken from the English initials of the founder Shin Jae-yoon. The 43-year-old Shin Jae-yoon once worked for s, one of the three major TV stations in South Korea. He was good at music program production. jy entertainment, several groups launched one after another have received a good response.

But after all, it's a small fight.

After the Westeros system launched the acquisition invitation, it revealed a little bit of direct descendants. Even though the request here is as high as 80% of the equity, the remaining 20% ​​of the equity will be evenly shared with several partners, and the remaining will be less. Shen Zailun still agrees.

This is a smart one.

In fact, many offers were rejected in this big sweep of Korean entertainment life. However, those entertainment companies that refused will inevitably disappear without a trace under the pressure of the powerful resources of the Westeros system.

After 1997, it was doomed that South Korea could no longer be a world where a hundred flowers bloomed.

Even if the cultural industry only begins to prosper after the promulgation of the planned "Cultural Nation" next year, it will not flourish, and it will still only be the world of the chaebol giants.

As soon as Chen Qing arrived, Shen Zailun, who heard the news, and Han Yunxiu, Sung Tae Hee's second sister-in-law, who had just joined the job recently, greeted them together, and greeted them with respect to a little humility.

Because they already knew the general details of Chen Qing.

The woman of Simon Westeros, just this, is enough to make the two look up.

Let’s just say that jy Entertainment won 80 shares, and the Westeros system only injected 5 million US dollars into this company. In fact, it means that the previous price of jy entertainment was only 1.25 million US dollars.

Money is often the easiest measure of a person's social status.

Running a company with a value equivalent to one million dollars, Shen Zailun is already a successful person for most ordinary people. However, let alone in front of the Westeros system, even for local chaebols, he is still a small man. Shrimp that can't be any smaller.

As for Sung Tae Hee's sister-in-law, Han Yunxiu, Chen Qing stuffed her in to act as a caregiver.

Whether it is this jy entertainment or other entertainment companies controlled by the Westeros system, Chen Qing thinks that the selected trainee girls are her boss's favorites, so they have arranged a role similar to Han Yunxiu to guard them to avoid Guys who shouldn't stretch out their hands indiscriminately, unless their boss chooses the rest, otherwise, they will stretch out their hands and stamp their feet.

Han Yunxiu was a small head of the personnel department during Jinlu's work, suitable for handling related affairs. Of course, ability and the like are not too important, the key is that Cheng Taixi introduces him, and he is more reliable than strangers.

Chen Qing also concealed her purpose.

Just like jy's side, whether it's Han Yunxiu herself or Shin Jae-lun, Chen Qing has directly emphasized this matter. If Shen Zai-lun needs a woman, he can go to any other place to find it. There is no shortage of similar occasions in Korea, but the company Here, we must abide by the rules and do business with peace of mind.

After a brief greeting, the three of them entered the office building together.

Chen Qing, who was walking in front, asked, "Have you found any better seedlings recently?"

Shen Zailun, with a thin and tall figure of over 1.8 meters, followed Chen Qing a little later, and bowed slightly, and said: "Yes, Miss Chen, I will let them come to see you later."

Chen Qing nodded slightly, and turned to the stairs under the guidance of Shen Zailun. As soon as she reached the second floor, she saw a group of boys and girls waiting in the corridor, a few of them were accompanied by their parents. There was another room with the door open, probably a waiting room , obviously already stuffed.

Seeing Chen Qing and others appear, the crowd who were still whispering suddenly fell silent.

Chen Qing didn't bother to pay attention, she just looked at them casually, and walked to the interview room on the other side of the aisle under Shen Zailun's reminder.

Just approaching, the door of the interview room just opened, and two women, one big and one small, walked out. They were obviously a mother and daughter, both about 1.7 meters tall. The mother looked only in her early thirties, wearing a dress that Chen Qing just recognized. Chanel camel trench coat style, daughter fifteen or sixteen years old, slender figure, wearing the same fashion.

Moreover, the mother and daughter have very similar standard Korean oval faces, the same fairness, and the same eye-catching.

However, this brightening only lasted a few seconds.

When the other interviewer was called in, the door had just closed when the mother, one big and one small, raised her hand and beat her daughter on the head. Cursed: "You trash, don't you practice very well in private, why do you become an idiot in front of others, useless thing."

After speaking, he raised his hand again.

The little girl even forgot to hide, pursed her lips timidly and waited for her mother's palm to fall again.

Chen Qing looked at it with great interest, but Shen Zailun felt ashamed, and immediately reprimanded and stopped him: "Stop, is this a place where you can play wild, security guards, throw them out."

After all, the woman who confiscated her hand and gave her daughter a slap on the head realized that Chen Qing and the others were not the young girls waiting for the interview around them. Seeing that the security guard who was in charge of maintaining order came forward

, made a gesture of please, and then realized that he must be a big shot, but he didn't leave obediently, but dragged his daughter forward, and accurately recognized Chen Qing's core position among the three of them. The little girl pushed Chen Qing in front of her, and said flatteringly, "Miss, can you give my Shanzhu another chance? She dances very well. She has been involved in ballet since she was a child, but she is a little shy. Please."

As he spoke, he pulled his daughter again: "Quick, show this lady."

The little girl named Shanzhu froze in the interview room where there were only a few people just now. At this moment, it was impossible to make a show in the aisle of a crowd of people. She just hung her head in awe and looked pitiful like being beaten or scolded.

The woman was even more angry when she saw this.

During this period of time, due to the general environment, their family encountered changes. The husband who was originally an executive in Sanmei was not only unemployed because of the bankruptcy of Sanmei, but was later found to have embezzled the company's assets and was imprisoned. for 20 years.

In order to avoid being implicated, the woman decisively chose to divorce the other party. After all, she chose to marry the husband who was 9 years older than her in order to live a good life. She didn't want to be dragged down for the rest of her life. However, although the divorce was successful, the mother and daughter, who had no worries about food and clothing, suddenly had no food and clothing, and their house and car deposits were all taken away. If they could not live with the woman's elderly parents in Incheon, they would almost have lived on the streets.

The woman and her husband have been housewives since they got married. They know nothing. Recently, they found that many entertainment companies are recruiting trainees. They thought that they would be a little princess to raise a daughter who is proficient in piano and dancing. She would definitely be selected. If she can become a big star, as a mother, she will have a place for the rest of her life.

It's a pity that the daughter who is good at singing and dancing in private, becomes a goose when she is in front of others.

As a result, I interviewed a series of entertainment companies in a row, from giants such as Samsung Entertainment and SK Entertainment to small labels such as JY Entertainment at this time, but all failed.

Because women have high hearts.

In fact, most companies are willing to accept this girl. After all, they are afraid of such a thing, and they can improve with more exercise. The appearance and body of the little girl are indeed very good, and the standard can be lowered. The problem is that the woman puts forward conditions that they can't agree to at all. She will act as her daughter's manager herself, ensure her debut, and pay their mother and daughter double salaries before they debut.

This is too much.

Do you really think you are a baby?

Whether it's Samsung Entertainment, SK Entertainment, or various small labels that have been active recently, the Westeros system is behind the scenes, and everyone has a fairly tacit understanding of industry norms.

If an exception is made because a seedling is too good, will it continue to be an exception in the future?

Do you still want the rules?

So the result can be imagined.

In the office building of jy entertainment, Chen Qing didn't think about it. To a certain extent, she is the rule in Korea, so she still asked with great interest: "What's your name?"

The woman quickly pushed her daughter towards Chen Qing: "Miss, my daughter's name is Shanzhu, Yi Shanzhu."

Chen Qing gestured to the woman: "I didn't ask her, but I asked you?"

The woman was a little surprised, but said immediately, "My name is Jin Zhixi."

"What about age?"

Jin Zhixi felt a little weird, but said honestly: "34 years old, miss, what are you... asking this for?"

Chen Qing didn't answer, but looked at the little girl: "How old is Shanzhu?"

"16 years old." After Jin Zhixi finished speaking, she was afraid that Chen Qing would not believe her, so she quickly explained: "I married my husband when I was 18 years old, and Sunzhu, who was born that year, is indeed 16 years old."

The reason for the woman's reaction is that it has recently been discovered that entertainment companies prefer girls between the ages of 16 and 18, and it is not easy to be admitted if they are too big or too young.

Chen Qing nodded slightly, and said to Shen Zailun: "Find a room and let them wait a while, I'll talk about it after I finish reading what's going on here."
