"It's really unusual for President Chen Chen to invite people to dinner." Li Xiuman, who was invited, said with a smile on his face, "No one in the industry has ever enjoyed this kind of treatment. Today is my honor."

"Because I have something to ask of you, I naturally need to treat you to dinner." Chen Chen didn't hide it and said directly: "I want to ask the idiot company for a favor."

"You are right, it is indeed the Hongmen Banquet." Li Xiuman was not surprised.

"You knew it was the Hongmen Banquet, but you still came anyway?" Chen Chen smiled and handed over the initiative to the other party, "Would we eat first or talk about the deal first?"

"Let's eat first." Li Xiuman was in a good mood and even joked with Chen Chen, "If we talk first, it would be a big loss if the deal doesn't come to fruition and the meal doesn't come to fruition."

"Haha, let's eat first."

Chen Chen wasn't stingy either, he waved the waiter over to start serving the food.

One, two, three, four... more and more dishes were served, and Li Xiuman's expression became more and more serious.

Chen Chen guessed that he was panicking now, wondering what kind of requests would be waiting for him after such a luxurious meal.

"..."

"I wonder what kind of help C Headquarters wants to ask Foolish Company to do?"

About halfway through eating, Lee Soo Man took the initiative to initiate a conversation.

"This matter has to start with my trainees." Chen Chen took the topic far away, "You also know that I love my trainees very much and have always provided them with the best resources."

"But those trainees are also very competitive, and the feedback they give is visible."

"They are also studying at Shamao Company. You must know their situation, right?" Chen Chen looked at Li Xiuman.

"I do know that the trainees in C Division are so outstanding that they are enviable." Li Xiuman specifically nodded, "It makes me regret letting my two trainees go."

"What regrets are there? Didn't the planners of Foolish Company also learned a lot during the training process of the C headquarters." Chen Chen lightly said that it was a fair transaction, and returned to the topic casually, "In the past few days, I have The girls in Division C are preparing to debut as trainees, and we plan to let them release a song to test the market before their debut."

"You also know that the idol reserve team is about releasing songs, but it can't just be songs, it must also have a series of supporting actions." Chen Chen finally got down to business, "I would like to hire Ms. Min Xizhen from your company to take charge of this project. Image design, stage design and other work.”

"..."

"Hiring is not possible." Li Xiuman thought for a while and then shook his head, "But the C headquarters can be outsourced to Foolish Company, and we will consider taking your job."

Recruitment means that Min Xizhen is temporarily transferred to work in the C headquarters; outsourcing means that the C headquarters sends the girls to the Shamao Company, and the follow-up work is completed independently by the Shamao Company.

Upon hearing this result, Chen Chen's first reaction was that the company didn't want Min Xizhen to get too close to the C headquarters. The second reaction was that the company wanted to collect more detailed information about the girls.

"Outsourcing is fine, too." Chen Chen thought for a moment and nodded, "I request the right to have equal dialogue with Director Min. I can discuss and modify the specific content of the design plan with her."

"That's no problem. You are the party who pays for our services."

Li Xiuman agreed easily, as if it didn't matter as long as he was in contact with the idiot company.

"Then what if I want to make a documentary?" Chen Chen pressed forward, "Recording the true starting point of the girls, it may be useful in the future."

"You need to discuss this with Ms. Min. It is a matter between you." Li Xiuman hinted: "I am only responsible for getting your quotation."

"I see. The clear division of labor in your company should be one of the reasons why it is so strong." Chen Chen kicked the ball out. "I won't quote you any more. I'll reciprocate. How about you asking me to make the offer and I'll counter-offer?"

"Hey~ Is there still such a transaction method?" Li Xiuman was stunned, and then laughed, "Then I have to think carefully about how to get benefits from the C headquarters that has risen like a comet." You need to think about it carefully. In fact, Li Xiuman didn't think about it at all and just threw out the conditions.

"How about increasing the income of Foolish Company by 0.50% during the splitting of accounts?" Li Xiuman stared at Chen Chen closely.

"Is it so expensive to hire Ms. Min? You know how much money Paopao can give to idiots every month, so you also know the value of 0.50%." Chen Chen shook his head decisively, and although his speech was slow, his words began to change. He was not so polite, "There are many capable creative directors in South Korea. I just chose Ms. Min's style because I prefer Ms. Min's style. It is not the only option available to me."

"Don't worry, I haven't finished speaking yet." Seeing Chen Chen's tough attitude, Li Xiuman put the hidden items on the stage, "Give me this 0.50%, and my silly company will help you retain those small companies. "

"It is true that you, President Chen, have great skills and eyes, and you have used variety shows to introduce Paopao into the Chinese market through Youyin and Tik Tok, making several of our big companies inseparable from your Paopao. But this will not work for some small companies. They simply don’t have the ability to foresee the Chinese market.”

"Foolish Company has been the leader in South Korea's entertainment industry for many years. We are confident that we can help you keep these small companies on the bubble."

"Can you accept it?" Li Xiuman looked at Chen Chen confidently.

"Well, in fact, the bubble will also become the voting channel for South Korea's 'produce series', so..."

Chen Chen's expression was playful, as if he was saying that without you, I can keep other companies on the bubble.

"But if you can agree to my conditions, we can talk." Chen Chen made a 180-degree turn, "Do you want to listen?"

"I'd like to hear the details." Li Xiuman nodded gloomily.

"The day when we are going to talk about contract renewal is coming soon. If Foolish Company can help me extend the contract renewal period to seven years." When Chen Chen said this, he suddenly lowered his voice and leaned forward to Li Xiuman, "I am not only willing to This 0.50% will be given to the Silly Hat Company, and I will also give 0.50% of Pao Pao’s income from the artists under the Silly Hat Company to Chairman Li personally.”

After saying that, Chen Chen returned to his normal sitting posture and sat on the chair openly, and asked: "What do you think, do you need to consider it?"

"It's a word."

Li Xiuman couldn't wait to reach out his hand.

Although it is only 0.50%, it is not of the same order of magnitude for the company as it is for him personally. There is no need to hesitate about this kind of thing.

"Well, it's a deal."

Chen Chen stretched out his hand and shook Li Xiuman's hand. He didn't need to hesitate.

If Foolish Company can pressure all the entertainment companies in South Korea to sign a seven-year contract with Pao Pao, even an extra 10% will be a profit.

What Chen Chen wants to target is not a fool, but the current Big Hit, the future Korean entertainment overlord Hybe.

The company is very strong. Especially in 2018, it is an absolutely strong period when other companies are struggling with a market value of 200 to 300 billion won. The market value of the company has exceeded one trillion won.

It should be possible to pressure other entertainment companies to do something, and Chen Chen also hopes that idiots can do it.

"Hahaha, since we are testing the market, how about planning it as a comeback?" Li Xiuman was in a particularly good mood after receiving the benefits, "We will provide you with services and other things, and we can also help you with publicity and distribution. A little strength, what do you think?"

"That's a good feeling."

Chen Chen smiled and nodded.
