"CEO Yoon, do you know SM's CEO Kim Young-min?"
"We met at the awards ceremony. I have his number."
"Call him and arrange a place to meet him."
"Okay...what do you want to talk about?"
"How can I get Girls' Generation?"
Yoon Hye-na and Kim Young-min met at a coffee shop. "I didn't expect that CEO Yoon would take the initiative to ask me out. The achievements made by Z Entertainment during this period have shocked the entire entertainment industry."
"I should say this. SM is the undisputed No. 1 in the South Korean entertainment industry. They are a role model that we all need to learn from."
There was a wave of business compliments first, and when the atmosphere was right, Yoon Hye-na explained her purpose.
"What conditions do you want? SM will give up Girls' Generation."
"Girls' Generation... that's Teacher Soo-man's masterpiece. How could Representative Yoon think that SM would give up on her?"
Yoon Hye-na smiled freely and confidently and said, "No matter how proud a work is, it still has a price... Director Jin, please name a price!"
"Why them? What plans does Representative Yin have for Girls' Generation?"
"Everyone has their own hobbies. Our president likes to collect stamps. He always wants to possess beautiful things all to himself, and the same is true for Girls' Generation."
"Although this is just his personal preference, as a subordinate, you should share the worries of your superiors. You can't always wait for the president to tell you before doing everything..."
Jin Yingmin felt a little uncomfortable, if he understood correctly.
The other party wanted to use Girls' Generation to please their boss and give it to him as a 'doll.'
Yoon Hye-na did not disparage Girls' Generation, nor did she mention how serious the current "Black Sea" incident is.
What a bad impact it has on the development of Girls' Generation.
Their commercial value was doomed to be destroyed. Even if they continued to persevere, it would only be a waste of a few years, and they would eventually announce their disbandment quietly.
There may be a small group of fans who feel sorry for this, but that's all.
She just told Kim Young-min her opinion clearly, "Girls' Generation is just the president's personal preference, don't give up their last use value."
These words made Kim Young Min feel uncomfortable. After all, Girls' Generation was SM's ambitious work, and the company invested a lot of effort and resources in them.
Now, in her words, its only value is to be given to others as a "doll."
Fortunately, it was Kim Young-min who came today. If it was A-man, the scene would have been very ugly.
"Mr. Yoon, Mr. Soo-man will not agree. SM has confidence in Girls' Generation and they will get through this difficult time."
"Really?" Yin Hui Na's strange expression was full of doubt, clearly saying, "Do you believe this?"
Kim Young Min naturally didn't believe it, and no one in SM except Uncle Man believed that Girls' Generation could become popular again.
But in the end, Uncle Man was stubborn and wanted to continue to persevere.
Everyone in the company was talking about it, and they couldn't help but feel a little worried.
"Has Director Kim ever thought about creating a new group to replace Girls' Generation?"
Yoon Hye-na's proposal brought back memories for Kim Young-min.
When he first joined SM, he also imagined himself to be like Uncle Man and become a star-making godfather admired by the world.
He has been engaged in the entertainment industry, created a top team that the South Korean nation is proud of, and left his name in the history of South Korean entertainment.
But I don’t know when he changed from a young man chasing his dreams to a businessman who only cares about pursuing profits and obeying orders.
Just thinking of Lee Soo Man, the light in Kim Young Min's eyes dimmed. "SM has Teacher Soo Man. They don't need other star makers. His achievements are obvious to all."
Lee Soo-man, who also serves as SM's chief planner, does not allow anyone to interfere with his work.
"If we don't try, how can we know whether it is his ability or the mechanism of SM that allows them to succeed... No one can avoid making mistakes and always be right."
"Manager Yin, I think this is the end of our conversation today. I should leave." Kim Young Min refused to talk to her anymore.
Seeing the other party's uneasy expression, Yin Huina took out her mobile phone and dialed a number, "I am Yin Huina of Zy Entertainment, I want to see President Lee Soo Man..."
After returning to the company, Kim Young-min received a message that the president was looking for him.
He knocked on the door nervously, and when he heard the reply "come in", Jin Yingmin calmed down and pushed open the door, "Xiu Man, you called me."
"Well, he went out. Did he go to meet someone?" Lee Soo Man raised his head, smiled and raised his hand to invite him to sit down.
Jin Yingmin hesitated for two seconds, and said without hesitation: "Yes, I just met with Zy Entertainment's representative Yin, and she wants Girls' Generation."
"Taking advantage of someone's misfortune." Lee Soo Man said cheerfully, "Go on, what conditions did she offer?"
Jin Yingmin was stunned. This was not what he thought.
"Uh~ She asked me to name a price, but I refused, saying that Girls' Generation is not for sale in the company."
"Yingmin, don't be so rigid. We are businessmen after all. Whether it's making music or selling soup and rice, the purpose is to make money."
Kim Young-min was completely confused. Could the person in front of him be a fake? He couldn't be blamed for thinking so. Lee Soo-man's attitude had changed so much in the past two days.
At the meeting yesterday, someone proposed to disband Girls' Generation, split up the members' individual activities, and develop on their own, and to abandon the contracts that were of no value.
He was so angry about this that the table was almost broken. He said loudly: "If you want to disband Girls' Generation, SM has to give up the girl group market from now on."
Now, he told himself that this was just business, and he shouldn't be so rigid? ! Haha, what the hell, are you kidding me? "Zy Entertainment's representative Yin called me and said they are willing to pay the full amount of the liquidated damages."
The total amount of liquidated damages for the nine members of Girls' Generation is 9.3 billion yuan. With this income, the company can not only make up for its previous investment, but also make a fortune.
Sure enough, talent is the most valuable resource.
If someone told him, he would be willing to spend 9.3 billion to satisfy his momentary selfish desires.
This is clearly an insult to myself...
But if it were Zy Entertainment, Lee Soo Man would have to consider the authenticity of the matter.
In South Korea, any incident involving chaebols cannot be viewed with common sense. None of those guys have a normal brain.
In particular, the Sanxin Li family is also involved.
Lee Soo-man did not want to fall out with the Lee family, and did not want this to happen for any reason.
The influence of the Pan-Sanxin circle in South Korea and even in Europe and the United States cannot be underestimated.
They seem to have nothing to do with each other, even their shares have been cut off, but no one can clearly explain the connection between them.
Just like the relationship between Sanxin and CJ, who dares to say that they really understand it?
They love and hate each other, but they also cooperate vigorously in many fields such as charity.
If SM wants to go further, it must find a step to climb.
Lee Soo-man once wanted to rebuild a ladder to heaven on his own, but now he is about to give up.
The upward channels have been completely blocked, and even the entertainment industry is no exception.
Therefore, he needs to borrow a ladder to heaven.
Pan Sanxin Circle is the best choice and the only opportunity at present.
SM has been acting independently in recent years and has not shown favoritism to any chaebol. This is only for the sake of self-protection, and it does not dare to take sides easily.
But as competition became more intense and more chaebol capital poured in, even SM could not withstand it.
Lee Soo Man needs an opportunity, and SM needs the same opportunity...
"So, are you just going to hand over Girls' Generation like this?" Kim Young Min's attitude changed, and his tone was filled with awkward reluctance.
Previously, he was very willing to trade Girls' Generation when he thought Lee Soo Man was unwilling to do so.
But now that Lee Soo-man has become the one who wants to make a deal, Kim Young-min's thoughts have reversed 180 degrees, and it is his turn not to agree.
Looking back, Kim Young-min began to think about how to convince others to let Girls' Generation stay.
Seeing his performance, Uncle Man said calmly: "Yingmin, I know you always have your own ideas. How about letting you be in charge of the next girl group?"
"Hyung Soo-man, is this true?"
"All trainees, you can choose whatever you want..."
Having solved the only obstacle, Lee Soo Man seemed extremely proud. As long as he understood the other party's needs, he could easily convince them.
His judgment of people is still as accurate as ever.
Next, it's time to discuss the deal with Zy Entertainment. If the other party can introduce him to CJ's Chairman Sun Jingzhi, there will be no problems with the deal.
"Lee Soo Man wants to meet with you in person. Secretary Xia has scheduled the meeting for 3:45 p.m."
"Well, how did you convince him?"
In response to the president's curiosity, Yoon Hye-na smiled and explained, "I didn't convince anyone, he convinced himself."
After meeting with Kim Young Min, Yoon Hye Na called Lee Soo Man and said only one thing: "Zy Entertainment wants Girls' Generation, but Director Kim Young Min is adamant and says that as long as he is there, no one can take Girls' Generation away."
Then, he gave Lee Soo-man hope, making him think that he was the one who overcame the obstacles and made the deal happen.
Just like Kim Young-min, when someone agrees with him, he will change his original insistence.
"What else?" Li Zhenyu didn't think that he would be convinced so easily.
"I also told him that if he disagreed, I would contact Girls' Generation directly, and Girls' Generation could take the song he wanted anytime they wanted.
There are many songs of the same quality in Zy. As long as they join us, the company will take care of all the troubles."
All means are the same, except for the people who use them and the ways they use them.
There was no direct contact with Girls' Generation out of consideration for the group's reputation.
Just look at TVXQ. Even after revealing the length of the group's schedule, there are still a large number of fans and rational people who regard the three members who left as "traitors."
They failed the expectations and hopes of the company and all the fans who loved Dong Shen. It was their selfishness that ruined everything.
That happened when Dong Shen won all the Grand Slams and his singing career reached its peak.
Right now, Girls' Generation's situation is much worse than East God's.
If you betray the company at this time, you will be branded as a traitor, and you will never be able to wash away this stain in your lifetime.
Girls' Generation is not the only second-generation idol group, and their achievements are not the most impressive.
But why was it that in the end only Girls' Generation made it to the end, becoming a model for girl groups and a national business card?
The unity and persistence of the nine little ones during the Black Sea period and their long-term "clean" performance after the Black Sea are the important foundations for laying the crown.
