star of the peninsula

Sulli's pretty face made everyone stunned for half a second, but the cheers were higher than when they just saw Yoona.

After all, he was someone who hadn’t appeared in a long time, and it was quite a shock to everyone.

But when Chen Chen appeared, everyone was different. The reaction was a bit strange. Some people were cheering, and some were sighing.

Red Velvet fans have quite complicated feelings towards Chen Chen, and it’s understandable that he behaves like this.

"..."

When the concert ended, Shirley left first, while Chen Chen walked around backstage.

"Oppa, why is the porridge mushy?"

Jiang Seulqi seemed to have this in mind, so she asked about it as soon as they met.

"There are more important things to do than cooking porridge, so I couldn't take care of it for a while." Chen Chen scratched his head, "But I also tasted this porridge, and it's actually quite delicious. What do you think?"

"It tastes delicious!" Jiang Seulgi gave high praise, "The paste taste has almost turned into flavor. It's a different experience!"

"As long as you like it." Chen Chen rubbed the cute bear's head, "I'll give you a drink next time."

"Be a human being!" Pei Zhuxuan glared at him, "How can you give that to your child?!"

"Hey, you're right." Chen Chen's eyes widened. "What, you're right that the porridge is mushy?"

"Axi~"

Pei Zhuxuan blushed, turned around and walked away to pack up the props.

Park Soo-young took the opportunity to rush out from the side and asked, "Is Oppa playing hide-and-seek with the world lately? It seems like no one can find you."

"It's not that I can't be found, it's just that Boss Chen of C Headquarters can't be found." Chen Chen explained with a smile: "Boss Chen was hidden by me. I waited until they weakened the psychological defense that they tortured themselves before taking action. "

……

……

The best rising star in recent years and the most threatening competitor at the moment suddenly disappeared after receiving a large amount of investment from overseas giants. Is this a good thing or a bad thing for its peers?
How to put it? I don’t know what other people think. Anyway, the bosses of these entertainment companies in South Korea think that Chen Chen is holding back something big, and now they need to contact that kid quickly to find out.

Holding your breath? nonexistent!
Are you sure that everyone is holding their breath together with you? What should you do if someone doesn't want to take you with them after they've finished chatting quietly while you're holding your breath? Will you still be able to survive in the future? !

Big companies are better off, but it's only 30 billion won, which is half the market value of a second-tier entertainment company. You can barely come up with it by yourself.

All I was thinking was that as long as the other two companies couldn't be contacted, I wouldn't be so anxious. In fact, Chen Chen's phone was off the hook.

The lower-level small companies were stunned. They marveled that the gains from one investment had caught up with their own efforts of more than ten years, and they were not in a hurry at all.

What do huge waves have to do with me when I am just a little shrimp eating dirt?

The ones that make my head spin the most are the second-tier entertainment companies, those with a market value of around 100 billion won, such as CUBE, FNC, and Starship.

If C Headquarters really gets involved with the people above, the entertainment companies among them will definitely suffer first. If Chen Chen and the people above come up with a new project, there is no doubt that they will suffer the consequences. Sliding away, this is the embarrassing part of not being able to go up or down.

Hong Shengcheng was originally the most anxious one.

The previous unpleasantness with Chen Chen has not been resolved, and some of (G)I-DLE’s debut operations were obviously to take advantage of his popularity. These plus some random things in his mind. If Chen Chen plans to do something bad, I would definitely be the first one to start cutting from squares. Just thinking about it now makes my head hurt.

But Hong Shengcheng no longer has a headache at all, but his scalp is numb, because Chen Chen is now opposite him, and even the first sentence is
"How's your internal fighting going lately?"

"This." Hong Shengcheng was sweating slightly, but he still gritted his teeth and resisted, "It shouldn't be something that President Chen needs to be concerned about, right?"

"Indeed it's not." Chen Chen admitted generously, even a little too generously. "I just wanted to find a topic that would embarrass President Hong. After much deliberation, this is the only one."

"..."

These words made Hong Shengcheng a little speechless. The young man in front of him, who was completely unconventional, would actually say "I deliberately want to embarrass you" in front of his face, something that usually does not happen in the "adult world". Didn't perform very well just now.

Resistance, resistance, and a little bit of aggression. In terms of reaction, it's a bit too much to lose.

"President Chen used someone else's mouth to say that he wanted to talk to me. He certainly didn't just want to see me embarrassed. That is inconsistent with your status." Hong Shengcheng lowered his stance and asked, "What do you want to talk about?"

"Give me the production and sales rights for (G)I-DLE related products." Chen Chen said lightly: "C Headquarters wants to take this away."

"It turns out it's a business." Hong Shengcheng felt a lot more relaxed. "Since it's a business, what can Cube get after handing over what you want?"

"An opportunity to wipe it all off." Chen Chen narrowed his eyes and looked at the other party slyly, "Boss Hong, do you really think I won't pursue any of the previous matters?"

Before Hong Shengcheng could speak, Chen Chen continued: "You just took a lot of benefits from me, and then stabbed me with your backhand. This seems not to be very decent."

"(G)I-DLE is a bunch of unknowns who just debuted and openly tried to take advantage of the popularity of the B-chart champion. This is not a good behavior and does not respect the seniors enough. You don't want me to go out and give you a thumbs up, right?"

"If we really want to talk to the end, there are actually many things we can talk about, but I think those are meaningless. I don't care about those very much, and I really admire you, Boss Hong, so I just want to find an excuse to talk to Cube Entertainment. "Buy and sell." Chen Chen's expression became more and more calm as he asked, "What do you think? Should Fang Fang make this excuse?"

"Please allow me to explain." Hong Shengcheng said carefully: "My previous participation in the siege of C Headquarters was not what I wanted. We were just coerced. I hope you don't misunderstand."

"..."

Chen Chen didn't say anything, causing harm to others for a reason was still harm.

"And (G)I-DLE is the backbone of Cube's future. They ask me to hand over their future." Hong Shengcheng nervously wiped his sweat while observing Chen Chen, "I really can't bear it."

"It's just a small idol group. How can it be valued so much by Boss Hong if it's nothing now? Is this the boss of an entertainment company who came out of the commercial meat grinder of the entertainment industry?" Chen Chen smiled, "I I originally thought that the conditions I offered were very favorable, but I didn’t expect that people would still think of me as a arrogant person. I, Chen Chen, and my C department really have no face at all.”

"Pillar." Chen Chen tilted his head, "There is also a pillar of idols in C headquarters. Does Boss Hong know who it is?"

"Integrate." Hong Shengcheng replied: "Everyone in South Korea knows this."

"Then do you know when they will debut?" Chen Chen asked.

"I don't know." Hong Shengcheng shook his head, "It seems to depend on what you want. When you think they are suitable to debut, they will debut." "I actually had a good time to debut just now." Chen Chen looked at Hong Shengcheng, his expression With a little excitement, "How about just putting it on (G)I-DLE's next comeback? This way, we can keep the time synchronized in the future, and my C headquarters, which has no face at all, can also get involved in the god-level operation of Cube Entertainment." Light, you can also save yourself some brains.”

"Ha, it's like killing multiple birds with one stone. It's pretty good." Chen Chen felt happy inexplicably. After feeling happy, he wanted to ask others for their opinions, "What does Boss Hong think of my idea?"

"..."

Hong Shengcheng was speechless, and he didn't dare to speak. If he said one wrong word, Chen Chen would really have his plan sealed in his heart (G)I-DLE, and it would be over.

You will no longer be able to get any one, and at the same time, all eyes in the market will no longer be allocated to (G)I-DLE. When an opponent who is stronger than you puts down his body and must target you, you If you are not the protagonist of destiny, you will never be able to turn around in your life.

"Don't say (G)I-DLE is not a pillar at all. Even if it is a pillar, I can easily dismantle it. Idols are just little idols, alas." Sighing, Chen Chen said harsh words openly, "You should be lucky that I came to you first. If I had talked to the big three before coming to talk to you, Cube Entertainment would all be owned by sidusHQ tomorrow!"

If the C headquarters brings together the three major block entertainment companies in exchange for interests, Hong can only save the company by handing over all his shares to SidusHQ, the largest shareholder who maintains relative control.

But if the shares in your hand are gone, does the company still belong to you? Is there any point in continuing to operate the company?

Besides
"If you are not willing, there must be someone else in Cube Entertainment who is willing, and maybe even willing to offer something more to strengthen cooperation with C Headquarters."

"Compared to the side that is unwilling to cooperate, I definitely hope that the side that is willing to cooperate can take the lead in the square."

"So," Chen Chen asked expressionlessly, "do you want this opportunity to write it off?"

"..."

Hong Shengcheng had no choice.

The largest shareholder of the company is not me. The areas within the company that I can control are now fighting for power and falling into internal strife. The (G)I-DLE launched by burning the last bit of strength may die at any time.
Hong Shengcheng was completely surrounded by Chen Chen without leaving any loopholes. Either cooperate or be eaten.

"You are so generous, I would be really ignorant if I didn't continue." Hong Shengcheng is also a ruthless person, and his state changes very quickly, and he immediately turned into a kind middle-aged man, "I am not in good health. , (G)I-DLE is probably my last group, so I was a little confused just now, so please don’t mind.”

"C Headquarters is backed by the Chinese market and has the best manufacturers and publishers in the industry. It is a win-win choice for us to hand over their related products to you."

"To be honest, if possible, I really want to hand over all the artist-related products of Cube Entertainment to the C Department, but it's a pity." Hong Shengcheng pretended to sigh, "The company is not peaceful, and it will be difficult to accomplish this. , what a pity.”

"Yeah, what a pity."

Chen Chen responded, his eyes gradually becoming erratic.

Of course, Chen Chen could tell that Hong Shengcheng wanted to take the opportunity to offer other conditions to bring himself, an outside force, into the scene to help him clear up the difficulties he encountered within the company. What C Headquarters gained was the right to produce and sell merchandise for Cube Entertainment's other artists.

To be honest, from a purely business perspective, the gains outweigh the losses. The price paid by external forces to interfere in other people's internal affairs will not be one to one, but many to one.

But Chen Chen is particularly excited, because this may be an excellent opportunity to enter the game, turning C Headquarters into a perfect opportunity for Cube Entertainment to become "one of our own".

The goddess you are eyeing invites you to sit in her bedroom, aren't you going? !

"It is indeed a pity. I personally hope to achieve such cooperation." Chen Chen expressed his final attitude with a serious look, "I hope Boss Hong can handle the trouble as soon as possible. If there is anything I can do to help, I will definitely I won’t stand by and watch.”

"I'd like to thank you here in advance." Hong Shengcheng said with a wry smile: "Cube is not like this for a day or two. It has been four years since 2014. Not to mention that it is hard to get back, but it is not bad. I want to A quick solution may only involve breaking and then building up, but that’s not easy.”

"It depends on people. Maybe a suitable opportunity will appear soon."

Chen Chen comforted him casually, but he started thinking quickly in his heart.

It seems like something is going to happen to HyunA. Her departure is a big earthquake for any entertainment company, especially when she is fired in a very dishonorable way.

Taking this as an opportunity to make changes, the men's team is based on BTOB, and the women's team currently has fans who can support it for the time being. They will take advantage of this period to bet on (G)I-DLE and develop steadily in the future. It is not impossible to realize the glory of that year.

In this change, Chen Chen has many opportunities to intervene.

Change always requires hands-on action, and flaws will be exposed if you take action. If there are flaws, you will have a chance to get what you want. At this moment, Chen Chen understood why the bald eagle likes to light fires all over the world.

"No matter what, let's settle the current matter first." Chen Chen hinted: "I have been very busy during this period. I missed the opportunity to have such a good talk today. I don't know when I will have such a good talk. Maybe things will develop later. It will be completely different.”

"It should be so." Hong Shengcheng nodded, "I see you have brought the documents, please give them to me now."

"it is good."

Chen Chen didn't say anything nonsense and handed over the documents directly.

Chen Chen prepared the documents before coming, and even stamped them. He just waited for Cube Entertainment to ask President Hong to sign.

When the teacher is well-known, the rules and justice are on his side, and the force still has the absolute upper hand, it is difficult to fail. Anyway, Chen Chen can't imagine how he will fail.

Moreover, it felt good to do things openly and openly, without resorting to clever tricks, which made Chen Chen feel very happy.

But what’s more satisfying is not this, what’s even more satisfying is that Chen Chen got the thing done without revealing his core purpose at all!

"It's signed." Hong Shengcheng handed the document over, "Please see if there are any questions."

After a few casual glances, Chen Chen took the documents back without realizing there was anything wrong.

"I'm so happy to sign now. I'm afraid I'll have to waste a lot of money during the meeting tomorrow." Chen Chen teased, "Is Boss Hong ready to fight with the scholars?"

"There's no need to fight." Hong Shengcheng waved his hand, "C Headquarters is the trend within the general trend. Everyone will be satisfied if we can get involved. What's more, this contract will allow us to make more money."

"That's good." Chen Chen said hypocritically: "If a document causes chaos in Cube Entertainment, I will blame myself."

"..."

Hong Shengcheng was speechless, but his expression showed that he really wanted to close the door and see off his guests.

Chen Chen was not that indifferent to amorous feelings, so he just found a reason and left.

He had other places to go.
