Resource Tycoon Reborn

Chapter 5 Retreat as advance

Lee Soo Man and Qiu Mingzhe entered the venue under the warm greetings of the organizers. Of course, the organizer was even more enthusiastic about Lee Soo Man. Qiu Mingzhe was also psychologically balanced. Several movies released after the establishment of movie entertainment film company

It has gained good reputation and gratifying box office at home and abroad. Artists under SM Entertainment Co., Ltd. have also achieved consecutive successes in the music industry. Today, SM Entertainment Group has become a leading company in the Korean entertainment industry spanning both film and television and music.

A banner in the industry and a pioneer in promoting Korean films to the global film market.

Of course, the most important thing is that there are too many big names on the board of directors of SM Entertainment Group today. Whether it is Fang Mingyuan, Xu Changxiu, Li Yingxian, or Xuan Zhenen, their status in Korean upper class society is far higher than that of Qiu Mingzhe.

From a certain point of view, today's Lee Soo Man can be said to be the spokesperson of these big figures to a certain extent, so naturally he should be given enough attention.

Li Xiuman glanced around the venue, feeling slightly startled. As a member of the entertainment industry, he was naturally very familiar with the artists in the industry. At a casual glance, he saw no less than ten well-known female artists accompanying those people.

At the mercy of the rich. But he soon felt relieved. After the Yeonpyeong Island bombing incident, entertainment activities in South Korea were completely suspended. Many artists had nothing to do. But not every agency can provide artists with sufficient services like SM Entertainment Group.

It pays wages in a timely manner, and protects its artists from wind and rain to prevent others from getting involved.

Other brokerage companies may not have such strength. Artists themselves are a high-cost profession, and they are also a profession that relies on youth. The Korean entertainment market is small and the number of artists is staggering. After all, the truly top artists are just a huge group of artists.

A small number of people among them. Those artists who have only some fame but cannot get satisfactory salary, or the salary cannot meet their personal consumption needs... There are many people who are engaged in flesh and blood business, not to mention just accompanying the rich to attend this kind of charity.

Activities. Lee Soo Man has been in the Korean entertainment industry for most of his life, so he naturally knows everything about the Korean entertainment industry.

Li Xiuman sighed secretly. Although the Korean entertainment industry seems to be in bloom and prosperous now, in fact, too many young people have poured into this market, which has caused a serious oversupply of artists. If

It is not the Japanese market, the Chinese market and the Southeast Asian market that share the burden, the domestic market has long been unable to bear it. However, the development of these markets is not unlimited, and only the top artists can have the strength to open up foreign markets and continue to

If this continues, the future prospects for second- and third-rate artists in the Korean entertainment industry will not be optimistic.

But so what if we see this. Nowadays, the younger generation in South Korea only sees the glamor of stars in front of the stage, but they don’t know the bitterness and even the dark side behind it. The number of teenagers who become trainees every year is increasing.

is growing, and more and more artists are debuting. Li Xiuman can only be grateful that he now has a big leg, with Hong Kong Kumho Film Group as the backing, whether it is the Chinese entertainment market, Japan, Southeast Asia,

Even in the American entertainment market, SM Entertainment Group can have a leg up!

And those artists in the entertainment industry can naturally see that SM Entertainment Group, backed by Hong Kong's Kumho Film Group, has actually become a veritable giant in the Korean entertainment industry. The strong are always strong.

Everyone knows the truth. Since the beginning of 2010, many top artists have expressed their intention to sign with SM Entertainment Group, especially after Xiuying successfully participated in the show.

After the "Infinite Horror" series of movies produced by Hong Kong Kumho Film Group.

After Xiuying successfully participated in the first part of the "Infinite Horror" series of movies, although the movie has not yet been released, she is only a minor supporting role in it, but after the news spread, not only her popularity in South Korea

She has experienced crazy growth, and even a large number of young people in many overseas countries have expressed their concern for her. Among them, the number of fans in Japan has grown most crazily, and even Girls' Generation has benefited a lot from it. This year, she personally, and Girls' Generation

The number of advertisements received by Time Group has more than doubled compared to the same period last year, including advertisements from some world-renowned brands. This result makes these Korean artists jealous. It also makes them more aware of Hong Kong.

Kumho Film Group's status and influence in the global entertainment industry. Joining SM Entertainment Group is undoubtedly the fastest way to be recognized and activated by Hong Kong Kumho Film Group!

Of course, Li Xiuman was happy to see the results of these artists' applications, but Fang Mingyuan asked him to strictly control the number of artists who joined SM Entertainment Group. For those artists with bad conduct, no matter how popular they are in Korea, they are not allowed to

Signing the contract. Although Li Xiuman feels that Fang Mingyuan's request is a bit harsh, it is definitely not an easy task to become a white lotus that can survive the filth in the Korean entertainment industry. Not only must you have personal moral character, but you must also have

If you are lucky enough, you will meet a good boss, an agent with professional ethics, and a company that can protect the artist.

Although Lee Soo Man was thinking a lot in his mind, on the surface he was greeting everyone present one by one, especially this charity event with Lee Young Hyun, who was also one of the main sponsors.

"Xiu Man, how is Movie Entertainment Film Company's film shooting plan for next year going?" Li Yingxian asked with a smile while holding red wine, "Has Mr. Fang got any results on the script that was handed over? By the way, "The Battle of Myeongryang"

Does he still disagree?" Over the years, movie entertainment film company has released at least one movie that has caused a sensation across the country and attracted tens of millions of moviegoers every year. In addition, it also owns the largest cinema chain in South Korea, so it can be said that it is making a lot of money.

Double income.

"Master Fang still refuses to film this script. The company's screenwriters are cooperating with the screenwriters of Hong Kong Kumho Film Group Company and will come up with a script that conforms to the basic historical facts at that time." Li Xiuman smiled bitterly and shook his head. Fang Mingyuan said on this issue

The fact that it was not negotiable gave him a headache. In his opinion, although the script of "Myeongryang Sea Battle" was indeed exaggerated and made the North Korean Navy and Yi Sun-shin appear to be more heroic and invincible, this was a commercial

Movies are not war documentaries, so why should they be so realistic? In China, aren't there also some movies that vilify the Japanese invading army and exaggerate the achievements of the Chinese people to please their own people?

Li Yingxian pondered for a moment and said: "Since he insists on it, we can't say anything. But I think it would be a pity to give up this script. It would be better to hand it over to other film companies for filming. Do you think he can agree?" Li Xiuman thought in his heart.

Contempt, let it be shot by other film companies? Don’t you just want to let it be shot by your own film company? But knowing means knowing, and dissatisfaction means dissatisfaction. He still has to seriously consider Li Yingxian’s request.

Lee Soo-man himself is quite satisfied with the script "Myeongryang Sea Battle". Although it has many shortcomings and shortcomings, this subject, as well as the Myeongryang Sea War and Yi Sun-shin, have become household names in Korea, including among Korean nationals.

It can be said that patriotism and sentiment towards Japan may have contributed to the success of this movie!

Yi Sun-shin has a very high historical status in South Korea. Many Koreans say that King Sejong created Korean writing, so Yi Sun-shin represents the spirit of Koreans! In the Gwanghwamun Gate in South Korea, the bronze statue of Yi Sun-Shin stands there.

Moreover, he was engraved on South Korea's hundred-yuan coin, which shows his status in Korean society.

Moreover, Lee Soo Man believes that this movie should have all the elements that make Koreans intoxicated and crazy. For example, the exciting battle scenes and the glorious heroism of defeating more with less, the strength brought by the soldiers and civilians fighting against the enemy with one heart, and the wisdom of the Korean people.

A manifestation of wisdom and repelling the Japanese invasion! Although many years have passed; although South Korea and Japan are now allies of the United States in East Asia; although Japan and South Korea are often on the same stand when dealing with North Korea

Although the economic and cultural exchanges between Japan and South Korea are very frequent nowadays, the Koreans have not forgotten the history of the Japanese colonization of the Korean Peninsula, let alone the dispute over Dokdo between the two countries, and the Japanese in the history of aggression and comfort]

They refuse to admit their mistakes on issues such as women. Especially the Dokdo dispute in the past two years has made Korean people hate Japan. If this emotion can be stimulated, "The Battle of Myeongryang" will be a satisfactory success.

The box office revenue will be greatly guaranteed. This is also an important reason why Movie Entertainment Film Company wants to invest in filming it, and it is also the fundamental reason why they do not want to give up. And Li Yingxian is interested in it for the same reason.

"President Li is looking down on me. I can't tell whether Young Master Fang will agree." Li Xiuman said with a bitter smile, "I heard that Young Master Fang is in Seoul now, why don't President Li ask him face to face.

"

Li Yingxian shook his head speechlessly. If it was convenient for him to do so, there was no point in letting Li Xiuman explore Fang Mingyuan's attitude towards this. He didn't want to provoke Fang Mingyuan to be dissatisfied with him now. He was the one who made good friends with Fang Mingyuan.

The most right thing he has done in recent years. It is precisely for this reason that he happily joined the ranks of shareholders of Modern Electronics Company, because he felt that Fang Mingyuan would not do stupid things. Although he also felt that "The Battle of Myeongryang"

The box office is worth looking forward to, but if he wants to hate Fang Mingyuan for this, he really can't do it. He still knows very well which one is more important.

"President Li, will Mr. Fang participate in this charity event?" Li Xiuman asked with a smile. He believed that Li Yingxian, as the organizer, would definitely not forget to send an invitation to Fang Mingyuan.

Li Yingxian spread his hands and said: "I don't know."

A convoy of four vehicles drove quickly and steadily on the streets of Seoul toward Walkerhill.

"A big tree attracts wind. The share and status of Samsung Group in the Korean economy has reached a level that frightens other Koreans. So my father plans to clean up the industries under Samsung Group and deal with those profit margins.

If it is not high, it takes up a lot of capital and is not competitive in the international market, consider selling it in exchange for capital." Li Xintong held Fang Mingyuan's arm and whispered in his ear.

Fang Mingyuan nodded slightly. He was not surprised that Li Jianxi made this decision. After these years of development, Samsung Group has many subsidiaries and branches, as well as many companies that have joint stock participation, and have set foot in South Korea.

There are many industries, so much so that in Korean society there are sayings that Korea is the "Samsung Republic" and "life, old age, illness and death are inseparable from Samsung", which has also been widely recognized.

Regarding this issue, Fang Mingyuan and Li Jianxi have also communicated before, but at that time, Samsung Group was still in a period of rapid development. China and South Korea were also in the honeymoon period after the establishment of diplomatic relations. SM Entertainment Group also helped Korean films enter the global film market.

After conquering the city, the relationship between the two presidents and Fang Mingyuan was not bad, so although this problem has emerged, the consequences are not serious.

But now, due to the outbreak of the economic crisis, South Korea's domestic companies, large and small, have generally been hit. Samsung Group has become more and more dazzling. Moreover, Lee Min-Pak's term has passed half of the term. Who will be the next South Korean president also needs to be determined.

Gradually the surface is emerging. But no matter who the next president is, they will definitely feel unhappy about a large company like Samsung Group that spans multiple industries and occupies a staggering share of the Korean economy. Capital is power.

Moreover, although the Fang family and the Li family have used various methods to hide most of their shares behind many joint-stock companies over the years, this kind of thing is very effective in hiding it from ordinary people, but for the state machine

In other words, the effect is much worse. However, these past Korean governments need the stability of the Samsung Group, as well as the support of the Samsung Lee family and the Fang family to bring glory to it, so everyone lives in peace and performs their duties.

"It's great that my father-in-law can think this way. In recent years, Korean society has been increasingly dissatisfied with chaebols and their families. This is no longer a simple hatred of the rich." Fang Mingyuan said with emotion. The politics of chaebols in South Korea,

It can be said that economic activities play an extremely important role and have a huge influence. It can be said that the influence has penetrated into every aspect of Korean society and Korean people's daily life. However, this has also brought huge negative effects. The chaebol's absolute control over various industries

Control has seriously squeezed the living space of small and medium-sized enterprises; South Korean chaebols under the hereditary family system frequently have irregularities, such as tax evasion, false accounting, and chaebol managers have repeatedly been involved in scandals such as corruption; chaebol enterprises are "too big to be troubled"

"It has intensified South Korea's financial risks! And these negative impacts on South Korean society have become more and more obvious as the chaebols continue to expand, which will naturally arouse strong dissatisfaction among the South Korean people.

Although South Korea's chaebols have a great influence on the government, judiciary, public opinion and even academia, and can influence the replacement of government officials, today's South Korea is a democratic country after all. Even if they are just pretending, officials have to

Listen to public opinion and make certain adjustments. Like before, Li Minbo asked members of the chaebol family to withdraw from some livelihood industries and give small and medium-sized enterprises room to develop.

"I think it is appropriate to withdraw from a sunset industry that has no market competitiveness and no strategic influence. Moreover, the funds exchanged can further improve the financial situation of Samsung Group. Haha, since you have money

Now, I can also consider selling part of the shares to Yinghao. You know that I have many big moves in China and Europe and need sufficient funds." Fang Mingyuan turned his head and kissed Li Xintong's cheek, and chuckled.

Li Xintong was deeply moved. Although the Li family and the Fang family were now close allies through marriage, the Li family currently held only 31% of the shares of Samsung Group. They wanted to turn Samsung Group into a new one.

Although his concern for the family business has faded a lot, Li Jianxi and the others are still very happy that Fang Mingyuan is willing to transfer part of his shares to the Li family.

"Did your father-in-law say which industries he plans to phase out gradually?" Fang Mingyuan put his arm around her slender waist and said thoughtfully. Li Jianxi is indeed a strong man who can run Samsung Group into South Korea's largest enterprise group.

, not to mention his ability in the economic field, his political sensitivity alone is not something that ordinary people can compare with.

These chaebol group companies in South Korea generally develop cross-industry, like an octopus, extending its tentacles into all aspects of industry. Its capital, technology, market, government connections and many other advantages determine the success of other small and medium-sized enterprises.

They must rely on the chaebol's capital, technology and market support, so it is fundamentally difficult to change the underlying affiliation with the chaebol. In order to obtain higher profits, these chaebol companies not only take advantage of the weak position of small and medium-sized enterprises to reduce their raw materials and products.

The price of components has even robbed small and medium-sized enterprises of their technical patents and talents, etc., which has made Korean small and medium-sized enterprises complain about this.

Moreover, whenever emerging industries emerge, chaebol companies will take advantage of their obvious advantages in capital, technology, and talents to achieve latecomer overtaking, causing a heavy or even fatal blow to the original small and medium-sized enterprises. From a certain perspective

Generally speaking, it has the same "wonderful" features as domestic monopoly state-owned enterprises.

However, from the perspective of countries around the world, small and medium-sized enterprises are the main force in absorbing a large number of labor force employment. The lack of vitality of small and medium-sized enterprises, or even a large reduction in number, will inevitably cause the domestic unemployment rate to rise, or even remain high, which will inevitably cause social problems.

Instability and national hostility. Some media in South Korea publicly commented that "the oppression of small and medium-sized enterprises by large corporate consortiums is the greatest injustice in Korean society", which triggered a shocking voice of approval from Korean people.

Successive Korean governments have not been able to turn a blind eye to this shortcoming. Many governments have launched a series of tough reform chaebol plans, including restructuring and equity dilution, in order to reduce the monopoly of chaebols in the national economy. However, the overall effect does not seem to be good.

Li Jianxi decided to ask Samsung Group to withdraw from some sunset industries. On the one hand, it can obtain huge funds to support the development of the company's core industries and open up new industrial markets. On the other hand, it can also reduce the public's hatred of the Samsung Lee family.

Hostility, weakening the pressure from the government, and gaining favor from officials are extremely important in Korean society. Of course, this is also a double-edged sword. If it is not handled well, it will also cause other chaebols to object.

The dissatisfaction of the Lee family of Samsung. How to grasp this balance depends on the ability of these people.

"Father said that you have discussed this issue with him before, and you are the major shareholder of the company, so I have to listen to your opinion." Li Xintong chuckled.

"Doesn't it matter if it's sold to overseas companies?" Fang Mingyuan pondered for a moment and asked.

Li Xintong shook her head and said with a bit of slyness in her eyes: "My father said that if possible, it would be better to transfer it to a domestic company, so as to maximize the benefits. Of course, if it is owned by the Fang family,

If companies are interested in acquisitions, that's another matter. However, will you be interested in these companies?" Fang Mingyuan reached out and pinched her cheeks, laughing dumbly.

If the Samsung Group really withdraws from some industries, it may be a great improvement to the reputation of the Samsung Group in the country. However, if it is sold to a company under the Fang family, it can still fool the masses.

, but it cannot be hidden from the government and other chaebols, and it may be a time bomb in the future. And although these industries are already sunset industries in the eyes of Samsung Group, it does not mean that they will be eliminated immediately.

Operators can still make considerable profits from it. Once Samsung Group makes such a decision, other domestic companies in South Korea will definitely take notice and snatch this piece of cake from them. I don’t know what will happen to them.

How many people hate Fang's family to the core.

Moreover, unless the equipment of these companies is moved back to China for production, with the urination of the Korean labor unions, Huaxia Capital will definitely face difficulties here. If it wants to move back to China, considering the employment issues of the employees of these companies, South Korea will definitely

There are no nice things to say. In short, they can annoy people to death.

While the two were talking, the car had already driven into Walkerhill. When the car stopped steadily in front of the building, Li Yingxian, Cui Taiyan and others came to the door to greet them.

Fang Mingyuan was the first to go down the mountain, which made everyone present immediately beam with joy. They originally thought that Li Xintong came to participate in this charity event, but they did not expect that Fang Mingyuan came too. Someone immediately greeted the invited media reporters.

, requiring them not to film or take photos without permission.
