Chapter 1084: Awesome Operation

After not getting much rest the night before, Chen Chen chose to recover at home the next day after he regained his freedom.

“By the way, I haven’t asked you how the Tik Tok thing is going?”

Bae Joo-hyun returned to the bedroom in her pajamas and holding a toothbrush in her mouth. She was in very good spirits.

"Such a big thing was not mentioned at all yesterday. You really don't care about it." After complaining, Chen Chen leaned against the head of the bed and gave an answer, "Time is our partner. After we stabilize ourselves, we will become safer and safer. And we have stabilized now."

"That's good." Pei Zhuxuan still didn't take it to heart, and said: "I made some porridge for you, get up and drink it. After you drink it, the courier will come to pick up the package. You should prepare the address and other things in advance."

"The addresses are the usual ones." Chen Chen stretched lazily, "But there are a few new characters joining this time, so we have to make special preparations."

"Then get up quickly." Pei Zhuxuan urged: "I plan to change the sheets and everything, so don't keep taking up space."

"Ha, so this is the root cause." Chen Chen couldn't help but laugh, "Okay, then I won't delay your work, get up!"

……

The people Chen Chen needs to bring gifts to when he comes back from a long trip are just a few, like the people from Soy Sauce Bottle, the people from SMART, and at most one person from Starship Golden Age.

However, recently I have to add Cube Entertainment boss Hong and the (G)I-DLE girl group, which are new roles that I have developed personally.

Then I have to show some appreciation to Heiyan Bisheng. After all, they are going to form a new girl group, and they also helped me a favor recently.

Finally, there are two people that Chen Chen plans to unlock and pursue to build a good relationship with, President Hybe Fang and the crazy Ms. Min.

If we establish good relationships now, it will be very convenient to watch the show from a close distance or to perform some hidden tricks in the future, not to mention that we may even take the opportunity to take a bite of a giant cake as big as Hybe.

Ah, we can’t call it Hybe yet, we are still Big Hit which is expanding rapidly.

It’s about this Dahei. Chen Chen still has a little confusion. That is, after KakaoM found him and stuck together, there was suddenly no further news, as if that incident had never happened.

Now Chen Chen has two guesses in different directions.

One is that after the two sides got together, they found that their personalities were not suitable, so they broke up peacefully.

KakaoM has always been strong, and getting together with Dahei would inevitably involve a portion of the share transaction, but this transaction was not made, so there is a high probability that they broke up.

Moreover, according to "later" information, the chaebol that had a good relationship with Hybe was not Kakao.

The other is that KakaoM is temporarily lurking, planning to emerge at some important point to surprise the world.

In fact, the second guess can be completely ruled out.

C headquarters is not blind or deaf. If a giant like KakaoM wants to hide in Daikoku, it will inevitably make a noise, and such noise will inevitably be detected by C headquarters.

But to be on the safe side, Chen Chen still put forward this possibility of less than one percent.

What if? Life is full of miracles and accidents, no one can predict.

Therefore, if I try to build a relationship with President Fang now, maybe I can get some inside information out of him, killing two birds with one stone.

……

"Hey, why are there gifts sent to Hybe?"

After the meal, Bae Joo-hyun, who was helping to clean up, glanced at the list and couldn't help but feel curious.

"I'm almost going to be a shareholder, so I should try to build some relationships in advance." Chen Chen raised his eyebrows and replied, "Dahei has already started the listing process, and the public offering subscription is expected to be around the corner. I will definitely get involved when the subscription starts. As one of the future major shareholders, isn't it normal for me to give Chairman Fang a gift in advance?"

"It sounds like there's nothing wrong with that, but you may not be able to become a major shareholder, right?" Pei Zhuxuan asked doubtfully, "There should be a lot of people applying for subscription, and it's not easy to get more than five points of shares."

"Look at who I am." Chen Chen rubbed his stupid girlfriend's head, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. "Can the effect of selling the shares to me be compared with that of others? If it were you, what would you choose between selling to an ordinary person and selling to me, a Midas Touch who can definitely push up the company's stock price?"

"That makes sense." Pei Zhuxuan nodded, "If it were me, I would definitely sell the shares to you."

"That's right." Chen Chen continued, "If it were me, I would also sell the shares to myself."

"But there are risks if I sell it to you." Pei Zhuxuan raised a new question, "Look at Starship and Cube Entertainment. Didn't they all become your subordinates in the end?"

"It is indeed a bit troublesome if we consider it from this perspective." Chen Chen shook his head and gave the answer with a smile, "The problem is, whether Dahei is willing to hand it over to me or not, I have the ability to get the shares, so it is better to make everyone look good."

"Oh, sometimes I really think the person I like is a gangster." Pei Zhuxuan couldn't help but curl her lips, "How come you always do something that the other person can't refuse?"

"This shows that I have a very clear understanding of the situation." Chen Chen said vaguely, "Go with the flow. When you do things, the environment and people's hearts will naturally help you."

……

After sending the gifts, Chen Chen went into his study and started writing songs. He wanted to write "All Night" so that when he went to the company next time, he could explain to the girls why he didn't bring any gifts.

The IVE version of "All Night" is easy to write. After all, it is an adaptation and cover, and most of the things can be copied.

As for how to solve the copyright issue and how to find another singer, of course, this thing should be left to Universal Music to handle, otherwise what's the point of having it? !
"By sincerity you mean making a cover song?"

Bae Joo-hyun stood by and watched for a while, her brows furrowed like knots.

"This is just a joke, as compensation for not bringing any gifts." Chen Chen quickly explained, "I sent the official work to Golden Age when I was in China, and the girls should have choreographed the dance by now."

"What is the official work? Tell me what it is."

Bae Joo-hyun pulled another stool over and stretched out her little hand to take it.

"The official works are in my mailbox. If you want to see them, I have to find them for you." Chen Chen scratched his hair embarrassedly, "But there are too many things in my mailbox, it's very troublesome to find them. How about you wait until I get the finished works of the girls' performances from the company and then give them to you?"

"Why does this sound so strange to me?" Pei Zhuxuan couldn't help but scratch her hair, imitating him. "You wrote the song and you are also the producer, but you don't have a finished version in your hands now?"

"Strictly speaking, I'm not the producer this time. I'm just a composer and lyricist." Chen Chen explained: "What I wrote is a solo song. If I want to use it for the girls, I have to ask someone to adapt it into a girl group song. The person who does the adaptation is the real producer, who is responsible for almost all the work behind it except recording."

"There is still someone who dares to take the job of adapting your work." Pei Zhuxuan couldn't believe it, and her voice was raised three times. "Who is the other party? How dare they do that?"

"Black Eye, who has a good relationship with me, will win. If it were someone else, I'm afraid they wouldn't have the guts to take on this job." Chen Chen replied with a smile, "I helped them a little bit some time ago, and now I'm asking them to return the favor."

"But they still told me to let C headquarters fill in my name in the producer column."

"Normally it wouldn't matter. Black Eyed Bi Sheng wouldn't be unable to handle that little bit of pressure. But they are launching their own girl group recently and don't want to cause any unnecessary trouble."

"I understand their ideas and agree to their requests." Chen Chen explained clearly, "So everyone will still see my all-inclusive work in the end, even though this is not the case."

"Does this count as stealing the fruits of others' labor?" Pei Zhuxuan blinked curiously, and her voice was also unconfident, "It seems that doing this kind of thing is not good." "This kind of thing actually happens a lot in the circle. In the end, it's still the same as buying and selling songs." Chen Chen smiled and shook his head, "And I won't take advantage of them for nothing, so I'll just consider it a favor. I'll return the favor when their girl group debuts."

He knew that his girlfriend wanted him to be a clean person as much as possible, and he had always been paying attention to it.

"Tsk, it seems my boyfriend is very particular about what he does." Pei Zhuxuan gave Chen Chen a thumbs up, "Great."

"Don't worry about that. Is your team's return work ready?" Chen Chen asked, "Another month has passed. You should have figured it out by now."

"Yeah." Pei Zhuxuan hummed, "It's already recorded. Do you want to listen to it?"

"So soon?" Chen Chen was a little surprised, "When will you return?"

"We have to make a comeback at the end of the year, so it's better to make it a little more than December." Bae Joo Hyun calculated the time, "It will be about a month before our new girl group debuts. The overlapping time is just right for us to guide them."

"Your management team really knows how to calculate time well. They can even take advantage of you seniors." Chen Chen was speechless. "And don't they think that after Integrate returns in July, the next time it does something will most likely be around the end of the year?"

"But the next time you make a move, it will be an English single, so it won't pose any threat to South Korea." Bae Joo-hyun tilted her head, "We can't be wrong about this."

"Your management is really impressive." Chen Chen was completely convinced and held out his hand. "Okay, let me hear your new song."

"Ok."

Bae Joo-hyun took out her cell phone, found the song file and clicked play.

"..."

"What's the song called?"

Chen Chen tried hard not to make any unnecessary expressions and asked.

"Wildside." Bae Joo Hyun replied, "It's not a difficult word, so I don't need to explain it to you, right?"

"Yeah, it's okay." Chen Chen relaxed. "At least it's enough to save face."

The management of S.A.I. is really amazing that they took out the main focus of the Japanese album and used it to return at this time. It's just a matter of changing the language.

"I feel relieved when you say that." Pei Zhuxuan seemed very happy. "Then you can get busy. I won't disturb you from working."

Chen Chen hummed and turned his attention back.

If I continue at the current pace, All Night will be finished in time for dinner, so I won’t have to worry about eating.

On the other hand, the proper English single for Integrate was called "Good 4 U" and it performed pretty well.

It's just a pity that the original singer is a bitch, a real bitch who can truly live up to the original meaning of this English word.

Chen Chen remembered her because of her rude remarks to Hua Xia and her subsequent series of bitch actions, which could be considered a blessing in disguise.

Oh no, it's not a pity. It's doing a good thing to the public if we steal this bitch's stuff and play with it.

Back to the works, "Good 4 U" and Integrate should be quite compatible. When the girls sing Korean songs, they are like good princesses, and when they sing English songs outside, they play angry rock and roll to change their image.

If everyone happens to accept this image, Chen Chen's subsequent operational space will be expanded. He can form a small team or a temporary band.

Another unexpected gain from this work was that "Good 4 U" received advertising sponsorship from Samsung.

Yes, that’s the Samsung on top of the Blue House, Samsung Electronics.

When Golden Era was seeking sponsorship with the song and MV design, Samsung saw it and the mobile phone advertising placement was an instant success.

Of course Chen Chen had no objection. The more advertisements in the MV for those overseas guys, the better. There was no need to worry about the quality.

With Samsung taking the lead, other advertising placements came naturally. Chen Chen accepted almost all of them except for rejecting the placement from Lotte.

They knew clearly why they rejected Lotte, so they didn't make any further entanglement.

Hiss~ Wait a minute, it seems like Hybe is very entangled with Lotte. Is there going to be a plot where there will be a war in the future?
It doesn’t matter, Chen Chen said, he doesn’t care at all.

"Chen, it's time to eat."

Bae Joo Hyun came over and called out.

"coming."

……

There were many incidents during the meal, and Chen Chen's phone kept ringing.

The main reason is that the express deliveries have almost reached the original owners, and those people have also realized that Chen Chen has been "released from prison", so they either come to express their concern or to gather information. Anyway, they have to call and say a few words.

"I told you to send it later, but you didn't listen to me!" Bae Joo Hyun complained a little, "Seoul is such a small place. If you send it out at noon, it will definitely reach someone else in the evening. I can't even have a good dinner."

"It's OK. They basically just asked a few questions and then hung up." Chen Chen comforted his girlfriend softly, "They thought I just got back and it was inconvenient to disturb me."

"Who is the person you talked to the longest?" Pei Zhuxuan was not really angry, and asked curiously: "The lady's voice sounds a little familiar."

"You should be familiar with her. She is Ms. Min who switched from your company to Dahei." Chen Chen smiled. "She seemed very surprised to receive the gift, so she said a few more words."

"Why did you prepare a gift for her?! And put it in a pile of gifts and sent it to her?!" Pei Zhuxuan seemed to be shocked, "Are you familiar with her?"

"No, we just had a little acquaintance in the past." Chen Chen explained: "She works at Dahei, and I'm about to become a shareholder of Dahei. It's normal to say hello in advance."

It seems to be true, and the reason is so wonderful.

"Also, I have a lunch appointment tomorrow. If you get up early, please help me prepare my clothes." Chen Chen added.

"No problem." Pei Zhuxuan nodded in agreement, "Who do you want to see?"

Chen Chen smiled slightly.

"A fat man."
