Top of the Great Era

Chapter 1381 Plutocratic Thinking
The idol girl groups that have already debuted generally do not participate in this kind of entertainment, but how many are qualified to debut?The vast majority of girls can only stay at the stage of trainees.

Since they were unable to make their debut, in order to make money and get back their investment, the idol agency had no choice but to take some night shows.

Generally, if a company, such as JTamll, an e-commerce company run by Kim Jong Hyuk, takes investment from Hyundai Group, it is equivalent to a member of the Hyundai chaebol.

Next, when it comes to financing, you have to worry about it. Samsung, LG, SK and other consortiums that have a strong competitive relationship with Hyundai cannot accept funds.

Accepting it is tantamount to betrayal.

For example, NHN Group, the largest Internet group in South Korea, is behind Samsung.Behind the second largest Internet company is Telecom SK, and the dividing line is obvious.

But entertainment companies are different, they are related to almost all chaebols, and they mainly rely on female stars and entertainers for business entertainment.

At a social dinner in Korea, if there is no female artist to accompany you, it is not called a social dinner.

This kind of idol management company is a pawn in the hands of the chaebol; idols are the pawns of the idol management company;

After the entire assembly line, these undebuted trainees are the lowest level, with no right to choose, and no way to control their own destiny.

Even going to the nightclub to provide services like a nightclub princess.

But soon a male team leader came over and reminded in a low voice, saying that a trainee is not a night show princess, so don't go too far.If it is a night princess, the guests have needs, and they have no right to refuse, they must obey.Trainees are not professional after all, if the guests are interested, they have to negotiate terms with them, and then negotiate terms with the team leader.

Zhou Buqi thought it was ridiculous.

He came out to play to listen to music, watch dancing, drink and chat, not to do other things.If he really wanted to, he wouldn't be able to bring Sun Guanran and Ning Lu with him.

Kim Jong Hyuk seems to have used a lot of relationships and invited many people.

After a while, it was confirmed that there were more than [-] girls left, who were trainees of five teams, all from S/M Entertainment.One team will debut this year, and another team will debut next year.

Just let them put on a show.

Unexpectedly, after everything was arranged, a big scene came up. Under the call of the two team leaders, the more than [-] girls in various sexy uniforms knelt and kowtowed collectively.

There are words in the mouth.

Zhou Buqi was taken aback.

What is this for?

Fortunately, Ning Lu who was next to her quickly explained: "This is New Year's greetings, and it's the Spring Festival now."

"Oh!"

Zhou Buqi suddenly realized.

This can also be regarded as traditional Chinese culture. The Spring Festival is the most important festival, and respect should be expressed with the most solemn kneeling ceremony.The Zhou family came from the land of Qilu in the past. Grandpa said that it was his hometown in Guanli when he was a child.When going out during the Chinese New Year, the folks in the village have to walk and kneel all the way when they see it, and kneel and kowtow every few tens of meters.

Although it is a traditional culture, Zhou Buqi does not think it is right, "This is dross, which has been inherited by them."

Ning Lu was also aggrieved by these trainee girls, saying: "They are all Koreans, why don't others kneel? They are bullying little girls... Well, there are still a few who don't kneel, are they foreigners?"

"should be."

Zhou Buqi nodded.

There were four or five other girls standing there bowing, not kneeling, a white girl with blue eyes and a high nose bridge.There are a few more oriental faces, and I don't know which country they are from.

The next step is the show, and the guests can do whatever they want.

Zhou Buqi is very casual.

Obviously, this Kim Jong Hyuk underestimated his boss, Chen Dong, and the boss's boss, Zhou Buqi.

I thought that both of them are young people who like this kind of thing very much, and like many sons in Korea like to linger in the flowers and play with little stars.

Zhou Buqi came to Korea to do business, so he must not be tempted by this simple beauty.

Cannibals have short mouths.

To be able to create such a big scene, it might not be enough to rely on only one Kim Jong Hyuk. Behind this must be the relationship of Hyundai Group, so that they can contact S/M Entertainment and let them arrange the entertainment.

If you give in and fall into their trap, the relationship is equivalent to being established.

It also means that Ziweixing has to stand in line with Hyundai Group in the development of the South Korean market.

This is a big deal, and a decision should not be taken lightly.

Now South Korea's largest Internet company is backed by the largest chaebol Samsung, and the second largest Internet company is backed by the fourth largest chaebol SK.

Neither Hyundai, the second largest, nor LG, the third largest, has been able to set foot in the Internet field.

There are three roads before Zhou Buqi——

First, cooperate with Hyundai Group;

Second, cooperate with LG Group;

Third, vigorously cultivate Jin Fanxiu and make him a new chaebol.

Plutocratic thinking is different from consortium thinking.

The former lies in power, while the latter lies in interests.Softbank or the vast majority of European and American conglomerates are pursuing profits and making money.

If you are investing in a listed company, you have two options.

One, owns 1% of the equity, but has control; Two, owns 10% of the equity, but it is a financial investment, no control, not even a seat on the board of directors.

The consortium will definitely choose the latter.

In order to pursue the maximization of interests, it is to make money.

The plutocrats are different, they will choose the former, whether they make money or not... It doesn't make much sense, the family already has wealth that they can't spend in a few lifetimes.What they care about is the protection of wealth and being able to spend the money safely and securely, which requires power.

Chen Dong, Lu Qi, and Tang Binchen didn't think about this.

But Zhou Buqi's level is high enough that he can empathize with it.If possible, he would not want to split Ziwei Xing, he also wanted to firmly control it.

It was very inconvenient to communicate with Kim Jong Hyuk, this kid was studying in Japan, he spoke Japanese very fluently, and his English was terrible.

Fortunately, Ning Lu was the translator.

While watching the hot dance of the undebuted girl group, he chatted with Kim Jong Hyuk about the situation.

Sure enough, it was almost as expected by Zhou Buqi.

Tomorrow, Kim Jong Hyuk's parents will invite him, and the Zheng family from Hyundai Group may also be present.This is due to Ziweixing's strong strength, and wants to use the power of foreign aid to get a share of the country's Internet market.

Zhou Buqi is more willing to cooperate with traditional chaebols than funding Jin Beomxiu to become a new chaebol.The old family has family reputation, reputation, low resistance, and low risk in cooperation.

After some thought, Zhou Buqi decided to accept his suggestion.

Go meet with someone from the Hyundai Group.

Not just for the Internet, Hyundai Group's mobile phone business is doing very poorly, far behind Samsung and LG.With Samsung and LG present, it's almost impossible for Aster phones to make a difference in South Korea.Not only Aster, except for the iPhone, mobile phones of any foreign company in the world cannot be sold in South Korea.

Asda could cooperate with Hyundai if possible.

Kim Jong Hyuk was very happy and grateful.

Hyundai Group lacks dominance in the Internet field, and this market is dominated by Samsung and SK.If he can establish a long-term and stable relationship with Ziweixing, his father may not only be the vice president of Hyundai Group, but also qualified to enter the president's office.

Here, Kim Jong Hyuk and Zhou Buqi have their own thoughts.

They are all considering their own interests and weighing the possible cooperation in the future.

On the other side, at some point, Sun Guanran called a girl in a nurse's short skirt. She was a trainee who had performed just now. She was chatting happily, still speaking in Chinese.

Zhou Buqi was very curious and waved to her.

"Chinese?"

"Correct."

"What about nationality?"

"I haven't changed my nationality. I have to go back to China to develop." The other party is a girl in her twenties, who is pretty and has a sweet smile. "I have only been in Korea for two years. I am a trainee. will be able to debut."

Zhou Buqi smiled, "That's okay, congratulations. Well, do you know me?"

The girl pursed her lips and said, "Yes, you are Mr. Zhou, the chairman of Ziwei Star. Well... I met you several years ago."

"what?"

"Xu Baihui is my senior sister. At that time, she was running a company outside, and I even worked part-time. I met you at that time."

"What a coincidence?" Zhou Buqi's interest increased immediately, but he had no impression of her, "So you are studying in Beiwu, um, what's your name? When you return to China to develop, you can go to Jieyu Media."

"Thank you Mr. Zhou, my name is Song Qianqian."

"Song Qianqian..."

Zhou Buqi was slightly taken aback, looked carefully, but couldn't recognize it.He is a movie buff and likes to watch all kinds of movies.But this girl is an idol, and she doesn't have any good film and television works, so she doesn't have a deep impression.

Anyway, it was quite a coincidence.

Zhou Buqi was also very happy to see fellow countrymen in a foreign land, hesitated for a while, and asked in a low voice: "How are you doing here, have these Koreans made things difficult for you?"

Song Qianqian said easily: "No, everyone has taken good care of me. I signed a contract, and it was agreed at the beginning that I will definitely make my debut, mainly for our Chinese market. I was still a sophomore at the time, how about You can't interrupt your studies."

"You dropped out?"

"No, leave school."

"Yeah." Zhou Buqi nodded, still a little worried, "The status of trainees is very low, right? I'm quite surprised, how come so many girls come to the night show directly."

Song Qianqian said: "Me too. I was terrified when I heard that there was going to be a night performance. The team leader said he was a big shot and had to come. I was relieved when I saw it was you."

"Does this happen a lot?"

"A lot."

"Ok?"

"I've been in the debut team since I came here, so I don't participate in such things. Today is a special situation. Usually... usually those local Korean girls, those from poor families, will come out... Well, part-time jobs, there will be pay."

Zhou Buqi frowned, "This kind of occasion is a bit messy, so don't participate in it in the future."

Song Qianqian bit her lip and said: "Well, it's quite messy, sometimes...sometimes some girls go out all night and don't go back to the dormitory. When we meet again the next day, they have to walk against the wall. "

Zhou Buqi was very concerned, "What about you? No one bullies you, right?"

"I don't." Song Qianqian pursed her lips and smiled, "Mr. Zhou, thank you for your concern. I'm fine. As I said, I've been in the debut group since I came, and I signed a contract."

Zhou Buqi nodded, "If you encounter trouble here, go back to China and find your senior sister. Xu Baihui is doing very well now, let her help you."

"Okay, thank you."
