As for the "Cultural Nation" project planned to be promoted by the Westeros system, and even Simon's judgment on the future of the Korean entertainment industry, Chen Qing is clear, but it is absolutely impossible to explain to the chaebols.

In short, this will be a very considerable business in the future, but in the eyes of the chaebol at this time, it is just a small business, and it may be considered as a personal preference of Simon, who was born as a director.

After all, it started with entertainment.

Since Simon Westeros is interested, take it.

This can be seen from the shareholding distribution of the three companies.

The entertainment companies affiliated with the Big Three, and the related chaebol families only hold 30% of the shares, and the remaining 70% are all in the hands of capital controlled by the Westeros system.Therefore, even if the current negotiations with few variables may not be reached in the end, it will be the Westeros system, which holds absolute control, and kicks out the plutocrats, not the other way around.

As for the future, with the rise of the Korean entertainment industry, the three companies will find that their shares are too small, and they will feel cheated?

Who can tell what will happen in the future?

Maybe the three chaebols themselves have changed their owners.

It is also worth mentioning that, according to Simon's strategy of letting the chaebols take the lead, although they hold 70% of the shares, the shares here are very scattered, so on the surface, the chaebols still hold 30% of the shares.

Like Samsung Entertainment.

The main body of Samsung Entertainment held by the Lee family of Samsung is Samsung Life, which is an insurance company in the Samsung system. It is absolutely controlled by the Lee family and holds 30% of Samsung Entertainment.

The rest fly 70%.

Apollo Management, headquartered in New York, holds a 20% stake.

An investment fund called Qingtian Capital, headquartered in Hong Kong and controlled by Chen Qing, holds 20% of the shares.

A company called Victoria International Group, headquartered in Melbourne, holds 15% of the shares.

Headquartered in Bern, Switzerland, the Thun Fund, which is named after a small Swiss town Thun, is controlled by Charlotte Brenita and holds 15% of the shares.

All of these four companies, except for Apollo Management Company, which is slightly more obvious, the other three, without careful study, are difficult to trace back to the Westeros system, which is the effect Simon wants.In addition, Hyundai Entertainment and SK Entertainment also use other shell companies to hold shares, and there will be no oolong phenomenon that a large number of entertainment companies in South Korea all have the same group of shareholders.

Of course, for some people, it is still obvious at a glance.

The problem is that Simon did this not to deal with a few people, but to the majority of the general public in South Korea, giving them an illusion that since companies such as Samsung still hold the majority of shares and their names are also Samsung Entertainment, Then, these entertainment companies must be controlled by chaebols.

By analogy, next, such as the entire Samsung Group, SK Group, etc., will still give Koreans the feeling that these companies are controlled by local chaebol families.

Ultimately lead to contradictions.

It is still the evil Korean chaebol who oppresses the Korean people, and has nothing to do with the kind and law-abiding Westeros system. Simon Westeros is just a businessman who accidentally has a lot of money.

Harmless to humans and animals.

This is off topic.

In the small meeting room of JY Entertainment, Chen Qing heard Shen Zailun mention the company being poached, and then realized that there should be some things to communicate, at least there should be no such thing as her family poaching her own corners and causing vicious competition to raise costs for nothing.

However, Chen Qing didn't intend to fully reveal the truth, especially for a small label like JY Entertainment.

According to the classification of their own bosses, it is only a small brand like JY Entertainment that focuses on the 'idol industry', and the Westeros system has acquired 7 companies this time.

Still raising Gu.

As for Samsung Entertainment, it is a multi-line comprehensive development of film and television songs. After all, they are under the name of the top chaebol. Both financial strength and available resources are very rich. It is a waste to do one thing alone.

Therefore, you only need to give the heads of the three giants a list, and don't turn to small brands like JY.

As for the level of JY Entertainment, let's compete freely.

After quickly sorting out these things, Chen Qing said to Shen Zailun: "I know about this matter, so let's raise your salary a little bit, but I hope that your future work results will be worthy of this salary."

"Sure, Miss Chen, we will try our best."

Chen Qing asked again: "Are there any other questions?"

Shen Zailun hesitated a little, and said: "Miss Chen, frankly speaking, the reason why I have been able to launch some groups in the past few years and maintain the company until now is not unrelated to my connections in MBS, the promotion of artists is inseparable from the TV station. However, it is not easy to use these people. I mean, some time ago, the authorities lifted the layout of foreign investment in the cable TV field. A music cable station like MTV so we can have our own distribution channels?"

Hearing this, Chen Qing raised her eyebrows slightly.

He thought to himself that it was not wrong to randomly choose JY Entertainment among a bunch of little Gu worms, Shen Zailun's suggestion was very good.

In fact, with regard to the TV station, under the reminder of her boss, Chen Qing has also been thinking about how to operate it recently, but her main goal is to focus on the three mainstream wireless TV stations in South Korea, MBS, SBS and KBS. , and plans have been made.

Three TV stations, of which MBS is privately owned, and the other two, SBS and KBS, are state-owned.

Just like the relevant media ban in the United States, even private MBS does not allow foreign capital to get involved, or even allow foreign capital to control the parent company of the other party. Just like Sony’s acquisition of Columbia, in order to adapt to the United States’ legal restrictions on the television industry, It had to package and sell some TV stations originally held by Colombia.

But it still works fine.

If you can’t hold shares, then find a way to recruit people inside the TV station, especially the two state-owned ones. With the recent good relationship established between the Westeros system and the Kim Young-sam administration and even Kim Dae-jung, who is very promising to come to power, At that time, from top to bottom, it was easy to get involved in the personnel arrangements of the two state-owned TV stations.

The same goes for MBS.

No company in South Korea can avoid the problem of funds and debts, and the equity cannot be controlled. It is like the domestic control method for entertainment companies, which controls through debt and indirectly obtains a certain degree of initiative.

Because thinking is limited to the existing structure of the current TV industry in South Korea, Chen Qing forgot to find another way.

The main reason is that South Korea's current cable TV industry is not prosperous.

South Korea has only been separated from the military government for one term. Even the only private MBS was established in 1990. The development of Korean cable TV is even more backward.

However, Chen Qing still understood that this was her negligence.

In the established plan, SK, which is mainly supported, will also set foot in the field of cable TV operators while developing ISP business.

Now that there are platforms, it is easy to set up a batch of cable TV stations by the way.

A music station similar to MTV, and even, let’s spread it out, a movie station similar to HBO, etc., can be done. If it is done well, it can make a profit. Even if it is not very good, it can also provide publicity and marketing for the entertainment company controlled here. Compared with the platform, the practice of placing manpower or indirect control on the wireless station is not as convenient as having your own platform after all.

Thinking of this, Chen Qing simply took out her memo and wrote it down on the spot. By the way, she also added some news about the three big companies, not just the seeds of the idol industry like JY Entertainment, but also the recent acquisitions. A group of small and medium-sized film and television production companies that have injected capital must avoid being poached by the three major comprehensive development companies.

"I will seriously consider this matter," Chen Qing said to Shen Zailun after writing it down, "Is there anything else?"

"Not for the time being," Shen Zailun noticed that Chen Qing paid much attention to his suggestion just now, so he didn't say much, and after thinking for a while, he said: "Miss Chen, there is one more thing. It is not easy to create an idol group, especially if it is successful. idol group, it takes both time and luck."

"I understand," Chen Qing said, "However, President Shen, you also have to remember that if JY Entertainment spends all the funds we injected and hasn't made enough achievements, then you won't be able to get any support from us anymore. , even if you say it’s all bad luck, unfortunately, we will no longer cooperate with people with bad luck.”

Shen Zailun nodded slightly, and explained: "Miss Chen, you may have misunderstood me. I'm not trying to shirk something in advance, but I hope investors have some patience."

"This is definitely no problem. My boss has always been very patient and has a long-term vision."

Hearing Chen Qing mention someone, Shen Zailun subconsciously straightened his body, hesitated for a while, but couldn't hold back, and asked: "Miss Chen, can I confirm whether the boss you just mentioned is really Mister Simon Westeros?"

The reason why Shen Zailun couldn't help asking was mainly because even if they already knew some news, too many signs had been confirmed, but after all, they failed to get a definitive statement from Chen Qing.

Is it Simon Westeros?

This point is not only for Shen Zailun himself, it is actually very important for JY Entertainment up and down.

If the answer is yes, knowing that they are actually working for Simon Westeros, even if they may never see that great man at the top, will certainly be a huge boost to the company.After all, this name is too dazzling in these years. .

In the expectant and apprehensive eyes of everyone in the conference room, Chen Qing didn't show off anything, nor did she deny it, she nodded and said, "Yes."

Shen Zailun was immediately solemn, and directly bowed slightly to Chen Qing in his seat, and said, "Miss Chen, it is my honor to be able to cooperate with Mr. Westeros."

Several other JY executives present also showed excited expressions when they heard Chen Qing's confirmation.Even though they had known some rumors before, they didn't dare to believe that they were really working for Simon Westeros until they heard Chen Qing's personal confirmation.

Han Yunxiu, who was sitting beside Chen Qing, thought of more.

Chen Qing had previously arranged for her to work in JY, and she also admitted frankly that she was helping a certain big boss behind the scenes to take care of the girls here so that they would not be stretched out indiscriminately.Even though he had already obtained enough information, Han Yunxiu still didn't dare to ask too clearly, but just agreed honestly.

Now, the problem is of course not one's own work.

But... my sister-in-law, the man behind the scenes, could it be... Simon Westeros?

day!

The 36-year-old girl in her family was so lucky to be favored by a big man like Simon Westeros, which made Han Yunxiu feel more and more jealous.However, aside from being jealous, Han Yunxiu is also a very realistic person, secretly reminding herself that she will definitely spend more time building a good relationship with her sister-in-law in the future.

As long as she can please her sister-in-law and blow some pillow wind at Simon Westeros, she, and even her husband who has been arranged by Chen Qing to work in the modern age, may be able to go further.

Chapter 1274 Unexpected [Second Update]

After the meeting, just as Chen Qing left the conference room on the fifth floor of JY Entertainment headquarters, Lily Favel delivered a document to her.

Chen Qing flipped through a few pages while walking, and she didn't intend to see the mother and daughter again, and directly ordered Lily: "Have someone take the two of them for a detailed medical examination. If there is no problem, send them to me at night."

Lily nodded in agreement.

Chen Qing and her followers spoke in English, but Shen Zailun and Han Yunxiu, who were still respectfully following behind, could understand both of them, and their expressions were somewhat strange.

This Miss Chen?

No, it should be the big man standing behind the scenes.

Neither of them had any resistance and aversion to this, but they couldn't help but have some thoughts.Since it is the preference of that big man, of course... it must be catered to.Han Yunxiu even came up with some more thoughts, even if she decided to put her heart into making friends with her sister-in-law, but after all, it was out of jealousy, if it could make the old lady fall out of favor, it seemed that it would be good.

After reading the materials of Jin Zhixi and Yi Shanzhu, Chen Qing came up with another idea.

About the big three that are being negotiated.

They should be urged to implement the large layoff strategy as soon as possible.

This is the relevant clause listed in the IMF, which requires South Korea to change the current relatively strict labor system and allow companies to conduct large-scale layoffs.With the signing of the agreement, although I hate all kinds of financial restrictions, in fact, the changes in the labor system can cause large-scale layoffs, even if they will never agree with them. Korean companies, large and small, must welcome them in their hearts. .

Because South Korea's previous labor system imitated Japan, it was almost a lifelong employment agreement.According to relevant provisions, enterprises cannot casually lay off employees.Even if employees have to be laid off, they have to be compensated generously, even until the unemployed find another job, similar to Western divorce alimony agreements.If the unemployed refuse to find a new job, the company will be forced to keep it going.

After the IMF agreement, the South Korean authorities greatly relaxed the restrictions on layoffs, and no longer need to pay too high compensation, so they also gave enterprises the conditions for large-scale layoffs.

In order to save business operating costs, many companies in South Korea have recently begun large-scale layoffs.

However, the three that are negotiating with the Westeros system are deliberately delaying.

After all, large-scale layoffs are not a decent thing, and may even lead to some unpredictable and serious consequences, just like the wave of layoffs in China in recent years.Therefore, the minds of the three companies are also easy to guess. They hope to announce the relevant layoff strategy after reaching an agreement, so as to transfer the conflict along the way.

It's not that I want to lay off staff, it's the new shareholders who asked to do so.

Everyone is smart, so don't treat anyone as a fool. Chen Qing will definitely not allow this pot to fall on her own head.

Chen Qing only stayed at JY Entertainment for less than an hour. After leaving here, she went to several other companies in Jiangnan District, including SK Entertainment, one of the Big Three, and StarWorks Entertainment, which is similar to JY Entertainment. , and Sung Tae Hee is in charge of the film company whose boss personally took the name of Showbox Entertainment.

In the evening, Chen Qing and Cheng Tae-hee returned to the mansion in Itaewon together.

The Swiss girl Charlotte Brenita, who also came to South Korea to participate in the negotiations recently, also lives here, but she is still busy and has not returned.

As soon as she got home, a waitress delivered two medical examination reports to Chen Qing, and said, "The two ladies have been waiting in the reception room, do you want them to come?"

"Let them wait, I'll take a shower first," Chen Qing said, holding Cheng Taixi, who was a little doubtful next to her, and said with a smile, "Come with me."

Cheng Taixi had no choice but to obey.

After taking a comfortable hot bath and changing clothes, it happened that Charlotte Brenita had come back and the sky was getting dark, so everyone started dinner.

So it was not until eight o'clock in the evening, in a living room on the second floor of the villa, that Chen Qing, who was leaning on the sofa with a laptop computer in her hand, signaled to bring the almost forgotten one to her.

One big and one small will appear soon.

Due to the living environment in the past, both mother and daughter have seen the world, so when they saw Chen Qing again, Jin Zhixi, who was still domineering when they first met in the afternoon, seemed more humble and timid than her daughter, bowed respectfully and said: "Good evening, Miss Chen."

Chen Qing gestured to the single sofa next to her: "Sit down."

Jin Zhixi hurriedly pulled her daughter closer, but pushed the little girl to stand beside the sofa, sat down on the single sofa indicated by Chen Qing, and leaned forward slightly to Chen Qing: "Miss Chen, may I ask you, Do you have any orders for us?"

Chen Qing glanced sideways, and instead of answering, she asked, "How do you feel about this place?"

how about it?

Jin Zhixi didn't know how to describe it for a while.

All she knew was that Itaewon was an area where various chaebol families gathered, and judging from the size and location of this mansion, it must be the top chaebol in Korea.

In this case, what else can she do?

At the age of 18, he can successfully catch a wealthy son-in-law. Kim Ji-hee is smart enough in some aspects, and he has roughly expected certain things.In short, we must sell the girl next to me for a good price.

With the background of these chaebols, any leaks will be enough for her to continue her previous good life for the rest of her life.

After a little thought, Jin Zhixi didn't answer Chen Qing's question, but pulled the little girl beside her with a look of maternal love and self-pity: "Miss Chen, I only have one daughter. After her father's accident, there are only us mother and daughter." We are dependent on each other, and now I only hope that she can make her debut, whether she is a singer or an actress, so she has a good home. However, because I only have such a child, I will love her at all costs, so, my request Yes, I have to act as Sun Joo's manager myself."

Chen Qing was originally carefully reading the materials of an auto glass manufacturer located in Fuzhou, Fujian, China. This is the latest potential investment target sought by the Westeros system team. I was a little distracted, and squinted again: "Really at all costs?"

Jin Zhixi was taken aback for a moment, feeling a little inexplicably bad, but he nodded quickly and held his daughter's little hand affectionately: "Of course it's true, Miss Chen."

Chen Qing raised her finger and pointed to the French door leading to the terrace: "Go, stand outside."

Jin Zhixi didn't understand, so: "Miss Chen, I don't understand?"

"You don't understand Korean?"

Jin Zhixi looked out of the dark window, it was already midwinter, in Seoul now, the outdoor temperature was below minus ten degrees, but in this room, Jin Zhixi, who has always loved beauty, only wore a black and white knitted tunic skirt. It is a thicker style for autumn and winter, but it is impossible to just go outside like this.
