Then push for an IPO.

IPO cash out.

Because Chen Qing also found 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 that is basically sure to lose the Blue House wants to make friends with Simon and pave the way for regaining the presidency in the future. It is also willing to sell this face.

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 Korean stock market rebounded by 23% because of the rescue agreement reached with the IMF.

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 57 billion U.S. dollars, which is an increase of 18 billion U.S. dollars from the previous lowest point, but this is equivalent to more than 96 million U.S. dollars at the peak of Samsung Electronics before the semiconductor price plummeted in [-]. 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 12 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.There is also Kia, Chen Qing has reached a tacit agreement with the Kim Young-sam authorities this time, but before the Li family let go of Samsung Electronics, they also cannot 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-lun. The 43-year-old Shin Jae-lun once worked in MBS, one of the three major TV stations in South Korea. He was good at music program production. He left his job five years ago and started JY Entertainment. Several combinations have received good responses.

But after all, it's a small fight.

After the Westeros system launched the acquisition invitation, it revealed some direct descendants a little bit. Even though it required up to 80% of the equity, the remaining 20% ​​equity would be evenly shared with several partners, and the remaining would be even less. Shen Zailun still agreed.

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 dominated by 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.

For example, JY Entertainment won 80% of the shares, and the Westeros system only injected 500 million US dollars into the company. In fact, it means that the previous price of JY Entertainment was only 125 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 own boss's food, so they have arranged a role similar to Han Yunxiu to watch over 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, whether it is Han Yunxiu herself or Shin Jae-lun, Chen Qing has directly emphasized this matter. If Shin Jae-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, and 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, came 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-colored windbreaker, daughter fifteen or sixteen years old, slender and slender, 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 in the head finally realized that Chen Qing and the others were not the young girls waiting for the interview around her. Seeing the security guard who was in charge of maintaining order came forward and made a gesture of please, she finally understood , must be a big shot, but he did not leave obediently, but dragged his daughter forward, accurately recognized Chen Qing's core position among the three of them, and pushed the little girl towards Chen Qing, flattering her. Said: "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 overkill.

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 formed behind the scenes in series, 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 JY Entertainment's office building, 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."

Chapter 1273 Harmless to Humans and Animals

After letting someone take away the one, one, and one just now, Chen Qing ordered an attendant to inquire about the general information of the mother and daughter, and then entered the interview room.

Chen Qing didn't have any intention of intervening. She quietly watched a few interviews and listened to Shen Zailun's introduction of some details. After staying for more than ten minutes, she left here and came to a practice room on the third floor.

The trainees recently selected by JY Entertainment rushed over after being notified. There were about 20 people, half male and half male. Chen Qing vaguely heard a staff member whispering to Shen Zailun that some people could not be contacted I don't care, today is Sunday, and it's the rest time. It's good to gather so many people so quickly.

Apparently it was explained in advance that when Chen Qing came in, a group of boys and girls who looked very outstanding in appearance bowed to Chen Qing and called her teacher.

This made Chen Qing feel a little weird, not as good as the senior's sound.

But, teacher?

I wonder if my boss likes this cosplay?

Shen Zailun personally took a roster from the staff next to him, handed it to Chen Qing, and said, "Miss Chen, do you want them to show it?"

"Okay."

Chen Qing nodded, walked to the bench next to her for rest, sat down by herself, and opened the roster in her hand.

The bench was very long, but Shen Zailun didn't dare to sit down with him. Han Yunxiu, who originally wanted to do this, could only stand beside it when he saw this.

Shen Zailun thought about it for a while, and said hello, a baby-faced girl walked out of the crowd, bowed again to greet Chen Qing, and then began to sing a Korean song openly.

Chen Qing also looked through the roster and listened patiently. When the girl finished singing, she applauded symbolically, and the others quickly followed suit.

Seeing that Chen Qing hadn't found the girl yet, Shen Zailun bowed his body and introduced to Chen Qing: "Miss Chen, this girl is called Zhang Nala. She is 16 years old this year. She comes from a family of performers. She has been performing in stage plays since she was 8 years old. She has excellent qualifications." Moreover, her personal temperament is very special, I don’t think she needs to form a group, she can debut alone, and she can also try to develop in the direction of an actor.”

Chen Qing hummed solemnly on the surface, but couldn't help thinking that her boss didn't seem too interested in this baby-faced type.

It doesn't seem right either.

My boss seems to be willing to try any type, mainly because there are too many choices. Of course, there are also preferences.

I don't know what this girl's mother looks like?

Just met that pair and it was great.

Thinking of this, Chen Qing watched some singing and dancing performances, got up, went up to the fifth floor, and came to a small conference room.

Shen Zailun began to introduce his plan in detail: "After getting the funds, we plan to recruit 50 trainees this time, and we will roughly maintain the same number in the future. Then, starting next year, we will launch at least two groups or trainees every year. Solo singers like Nala just now. In addition, we also plan to add a sum of money to repackage the three existing groups under the company. They all have great potential, but in the past they just lacked resources and platforms.”

Chen Qing nodded, just listening patiently.This is a professional field, and she will not rashly point fingers.

Chen Qing only cares about the result.

Shen Zailun paused for a while, and continued: "Miss Chen, recently giants like Samsung and SK have suddenly established their own entertainment departments, and several employees from JY have been poached. The wages have been raised, I need to tell you about this matter, I didn’t spend it deliberately just because I got the funds.”

This topic caught Chen Qing's attention.

In Shen Zailun's view, giants such as Samsung and SK seem to be menacing, but this is not the case.

After all, the future has not yet arrived. Korean entertainment industry, whether it is movies, TV or music, chaebol giants like Samsung don’t care at all. After the implementation of the 146-day movie quota system in South Korea last year, they realized that there is no guarantee of profit. It was only because of the lost business that some giants established their own film and television production departments.

Therefore, the three giants of 'Samsung Entertainment', 'SK Entertainment' and 'Modern Entertainment' this time are actually just a shell for the Westeros system to be affiliated with the chaebol.

After all, it is in South Korea, and the name of the chaebol is really easy to use.

Because the entertainment industry is not considered fancy, the three companies are also very happy to let the Westeros system backdoor, which can be regarded as a gesture of goodwill.
