Reborn Korea, I am not a chaebol

Chapter 160

Zhou Wenhua has made a decision. Whether it is coercion or temptation, he must at least ask the above two clubs to report the joint program "sixteen" co-produced by JYP and M-net to the Communications Committee.

Without further ado, when we met again the next day, Liu Renshuo told Zhou Wenhua that he had already made an appointment for him with Bang Si Hyuk from Big Hit Entertainment tomorrow afternoon, and Li Shengli also made an appointment for him with Kim Tae Sung from TS Entertainment tomorrow Meet in the morning.

Central District, Seoul

TS Entertainment Club is located in Xindang-dong, Jung-gu, Seoul. Zhou Wenhua, accompanied by Li Shengli, arrived here on time before ten o'clock in the morning.

"Their president used to be a fire truck manager, and his name was Kim Tae-sung."

While walking, Li Shengli introduced the basic information of TS Entertainment to him.

"What's a fire truck?"

"Fire Truck can be regarded as our country's first boy group, the originator of Idol."

"The name is really unique."

Zhou Wenhua said with a smile.

Taking the elevator upstairs, TS Entertainment Club rented a total of three floors of the building, of which the office is located on the third floor of the building.

Li Shengli exchanged a few words with the front desk lady in the lobby on the third floor, and then the other party led them to the door of Kim Tae-sung's president's office.

Knocking on the door, the front desk lady said, "Master President, Victory Xi and President Zhou are here."

"Okay, let them in."

A hoarse middle-aged man's voice came from the office.

The lady at the front desk opened the door, and Li Shengli walked in first, "Hello, President Jin."

"Hello, Victory Xi."

"President Jin, hello."

Zhou Wenhua grinned slightly.

"You are President Zhou, right?"

Jin Taicheng noticed that the young man in front of him had an extraordinary temperament.

"it's me."

"Please sit down."

Kim Tae Sung's age seems to be around 50 years old, and the wrinkles on his face are very obvious. Compared with Yang Hyun Suk and Park Jin Young, he doesn't seem to pay much attention to maintenance.

Zhou Wenhua and Li Shengli sat down on the sofa, and Kim Tae-sung smiled and said, "Chairman Zhou, Shenglixi said that you want to discuss cooperation with me. What kind of cooperation is it?"

Jin Taicheng thought that the other party was here to invest in his club, so his words were very polite.

"President Jin, in fact, we can't talk about cooperation. I came here just to ask you for a favor. I can give you some money for your hard work when it's done."

"Help? What are you busy with?"

The smile on Kim Tae Sung's face disappeared immediately, replaced by doubts.

"President Kim, do you know that recently JYP and M-net co-produced a program called "sixteen", as far as I know, there seems to be some interest transfer relationship between them, so I would like to ask President Kim, report them to the Broadcasting and Communications Committee in the name of TS Entertainment."

After finishing speaking, Zhou Wenhua's smile made Jin Taicheng feel terrible. He frowned and said, "Since this is the case, why don't you report them yourself, Chairman Zhou?"

"President Jin, it's not that I don't want to report it, but that the club I run doesn't involve artist management, so I'm afraid it won't be convincing if I report it."

"President Zhou, you also said that you have no conflict of interest with JYP, why did you report them?"

"President Jin, don't worry about this."

Jin Taicheng was thinking about something alone, he didn't speak for a long time, Zhou Wenhua and Li Shengli could only wait.

After waiting for about ten minutes, Jin Taicheng finally said, "President Zhou, how much is the hard work you mentioned?"

"5000."

"5000 million? Chairman Zhou, please forgive me for not being able to agree."

"President Jin, do you think you don't have enough money?"

"That's right, President Zhou, you have to know that if I do this, I will definitely offend JYP and M-net. It doesn't matter to JYP, but if I offend M-net, how will our club's artists be on their shows in the future? "

Although Jin Taicheng's words were not unreasonable, Zhou Wenhua still smiled indifferently and said: "President Kim, 5000 million, if you don't agree now, when you come to me again, I'm afraid you won't even have 5000 million. "

"President Zhou, are you threatening me?"

Kim Tae Sung asked sullenly.

"Secretary, you can talk to President Kim, I'll go out and get some fresh air."

Zhou Wenhua got up and went out, Li Shengli stayed in the office to negotiate with Jin Taicheng.

"President Jin, don't be angry, Wen Hua has such a character."

Li Shengli walked up to Kim Tae Sung and said with a smile.

"Shengli xi, what exactly does the President Zhou you are talking about do? Is it a gangster?"

There was a bit of righteous indignation in Kim Tae Sung's words.

"The underworld can't be said, but he is even scarier than the underworld."

Then, Li Shengli gave Kim Tae Sung a very simple example, that is, Bai Changzhu came to him to settle accounts.

On the other side, Zhou Wenhua was wandering around the TS Entertainment Club. The 3rd floor is where the club's employees work and hold meetings, and the 2nd floor is where artists practice.

He took the elevator down to the 2nd floor and walked around casually. Compared with YG and SM, TS is indeed far behind.

There are only three practice rooms, one is slightly larger, and the other two are small practice rooms.

There are some trainees with mediocre qualifications in the big practice room. The reason why Zhou Wenhua thinks they are mediocre is that they are all ordinary in appearance, and their dance moves are stiff. They look like they have just received training.

Turning around, a woman with a height of more than 165cm, fair skin, and long golden hair came towards him.

Seeing the other party staring at her, the woman mistook him for an employee of the club, so she greeted him, "Hello."

"Hello."

Zhou Wenhua replied.

After a brief face-to-face meeting, Zhou Wenhua had a good impression of her, at least her skin was really fair.

After a while on the 2nd floor, Zhou Wenhua received a call from Li Shengli, who said that Kim Tae Sung agreed to come forward to report JYP and M-net.

Back on the 3rd floor, Zhou Wenhua first asked Gao Guangmin to take 3 million sincerity money to Kim Tae Sung, and then he would pay the remaining 2 million to Kim Tae Sung after the matter was completed.

"I saw a woman downstairs just now who is not bad, but I don't know her name."

Walking into the elevator, Zhou Wenhua said to Li Shengli.

"Really? How about we go and see again?"

When Li Shengli was about to reach out to press the button on the second floor, Zhou Wenhua stopped him and said, "Forget it, it's important to get down to business. Let's talk about women's affairs later."

Zhou Wenhua wants to deal with Park Zhenyong more quickly than meeting new women.

"Okay, I have something to do in the afternoon, can you and Brother Renshuo go to meet President Fang?"

"Okay, go about your business."

Zhou Wenhua and Li Shengli sat in a nearby coffee shop and waited for Liu Renshuo to come. After that, Li Shengli left first. He and Liu Renshuo went to eat nearby, and they took a nap in the car after dinner.

Gangnam-gu, Seoul
At two o'clock in the afternoon, Zhou Wenhua appeared at the gate of Cheongju Building in Nonhyeon-dong, Dosan-daero, Gangnam-gu.

"is it here?"

He looked up at the building and asked Liu Renshuo.

"That's right, Big Hit Entertainment Club is on the second floor of Qingzhou Building, and the entire second floor belongs to them."

"Okay, brother Renshuo, let's go in."

Zhou Wenhua took the lead into Qingzhou Building. He wanted to go up the stairs, but he couldn't find the entrance of the stairs after searching. The two had to follow the office workers to squeeze the elevator upstairs.

The size of Big Hit Entertainment Club is about the same as that of TS Entertainment Club. After checking the appointment records, the receptionist took them to Bang Shi Hyuk's president's office.

During the meal, Liu Renshuo told Zhou Wenhua that Bang Si Hyuk himself is an excellent composer. He graduated from Seoul National University and was born in 1972. He can be regarded as a thoughtful boss. Dealing with him will not be as easy as with Kim Tae Sung.

Sure enough, when they first met, Fang Shihe gave Zhou Wenhua the impression that he was that kind of polite and temperamental boss.

"President Liu, long time no see."

Fang Shihe first greeted his old friend Liu Renshuo.

"Hey, brother, it's too outrageous for you to call me President Liu."

Liu Renshuo shook hands with him with a smile and said, "Brother, let me introduce you, this is the president of Daum Kakao Zhou Wenhua."

"Hi President Zhou, I have heard of your name from the news a long time ago."

Fang Shihe's behavior was very decent, Zhou Wenhua said with a smile: "Hello, President Fang, you are too pleased."

"President Zhou, please sit down."

"Yes."

Liu Renshuo and Zhou Wenhua sat down on the sofa opposite Fang Shihe.

"Hey Renshuo, what have you been up to lately?"

Fang Shihe didn't take the initiative to mention to Zhou Wenhua why he had to meet today, he turned the topic to Liu Renshuo.

"I'm just busy, investing around."

"Good investment. Are you interested in investing in our club? I've had a hard time recently."

"Hey, brother, you are joking again, isn't your club always stable?"

"Stability is stability, but it doesn't make much money. I really don't know what kind of idols kids like these days."

Fang Shihyuk's smile was not embarrassed, but a little confident.

"Well, President Fang, does your club need investment? I'm interested."

Zhou Wenhua took the words and said.

"Oh?" Fang Shihe looked at Zhou Wenhua, "President Zhou, have you known about our club?"

"No, but I can see that you are a very capable person, President Fang, and I believe that your club will get better and better in the future, so I want to invest in exchange for some shares in your club, is that okay? "

Zhou Wenhua relied on his understanding of BTS in his previous life. He believed that investing in Big Hit Entertainment during this period of time would definitely be a profitable business. As for how much he could earn, he didn't know much about it.

"I wonder how much money you plan to invest in our club, President Zhou?"

Shi He naturally welcomes someone to invest, but if the investment is too small, it is better not to.

"President Fang, can you tell me what the current valuation of your club is?"

Big Hit Entertainment is not a listed company, Zhou Wenhua doesn't know how much it is worth at this time.

"As for the valuation, it depends on how much you trust me, President Zhou. Of course, you can also come down and find someone to evaluate our club."

"President Fang, of course I believe you."

There is no need to evaluate, based on the scale of Big Hit Entertainment Club compared with other clubs, Zhou Wenhua can also come up with an approximate value.

"Okay, the valuation of our club is about 183 billion, how much do you want to invest, President Zhou?"

"It depends on how much President Fang you are willing to let me invest."

There was a little doubt in Fang Shihe's eyes, but soon he said with a smile on his face: "Chairman Zhou, you don't want to eat up our club in one bite, do you?"

Hahaha……

Zhou Wenhua laughed loudly, "President Fang, you are joking. I don't know much about artist management agencies. If I eat up your society in one bite, then I have to manage it all."

"Well, President Zhou, the degree to which I can accept investment is that the club is still under my control."

"President Fang, how many shares do you own in the club?"

"I hold 95% of the company's shares, and the remaining 5% is in my wife's name, so it can be said to be 100%."

"Then 83 billion, I will invest 83 billion."

Zhou Wenhua invested 83 billion, and he will occupy 45.36% of the shares of Big Hit Entertainment Club. In this way, Fang Shihyuk is still the largest shareholder of Big Hit Entertainment Club, and the club is still under his control.

"President Zhou, are you really planning to invest 83 billion?"

83 billion is not a small amount for an artist agency that is still in the growth stage. For example, if TS Entertainment Club can get this investment, then at least in the next five years, Jin Taicheng can freely train high-quality trainees to serve the club. make money.

"President Fang, I'm not here to tease you. If you have no objections, I'll let my lawyer come and discuss the investment agreement and share agreement with you."

Zhou Wenhua showed a look of "I'm not short of money", Fang Shihe looked at Liu Renshuo at the side, and he was convinced that Zhou Wenhua didn't make fun of him after the other party nodded at him.

"Yes, President Zhou, I have no objection."

Fang Shihe was secretly happy with the investment of a large sum of money.

"Wen Hua, should we get down to business?"

Liu Renshuo whispered to Zhou Wenhua.

"What's the matter?"

Fang Shihyuk asked after hearing it.

"Oh, President Fang, the thing is like this, the purpose of my visit today is actually to ask you to complain to the Broadcasting and Communications Committee in the name of Big Hit Entertainment about a recent TV series called "sixteen" produced by JYP and M-net. programme."

Zhou Wenhua said slowly.

"Complain to JYP? Why?"

Fang Shihyuk seemed to be puzzled by Zhang Er's monk, Zhou Wenhua explained with a smile: "I think JYP and M-net's publicity for their own clubs is against the principle of fair broadcasting, and there seems to be some interest relationship between them. , so I think we should complain about this unhealthy trend."

"Really? But President Zhou, President Park Jin-young and I are very close, so please forgive me for not being able to help you, otherwise everyone will have to say that I, Bang Shi-hyuk, are a despicable person."

Fang Shihyuk politely refused.

"Okay, President Fang, since that's the case, I won't force you anymore, can I send someone to talk to you about our cooperation tomorrow?"

Zhou Wenhua didn't want to make a small loss, so he decided not to force Fang Shihyuk to complain to JYP.

"Of course, I am waiting for your news."

The two parties shook hands and reached an agreement. Today, Zhou Wenhua has gained a lot. TS Entertainment agreed to come forward to complain about JYP. Although Big Hit Entertainment was unwilling to complain about JYP, he accidentally bought 45.36% of the other party's shares.
