"Why are you back so soon? Are you so anxious to come back and watch Ji Soo's recording?"

Shirley opened her mouth in surprise when she saw Chen Chen, who had just gone out not long ago, come up in the elevator immediately.

"There's nothing to talk about with President Li. He's so smart. He'll understand everything with just one click." Chen Chen took out a drink from the bag in his hand, "I'll bring you whatever you wanted to drink a few days ago. Yes, take it.”

"Oh, it's a drink from the Silly Hat Company." Shirley happily reached out and took it, and acted arrogantly, "Actually, I don't really want to drink it, but since you bought it, I'll try it. "

"Okay, take it back and drink it." Chen Chen smiled fondly, "By the way, help me modify a file and change the Red Velvet in the contract to EXO."

"Huh?" Shirley was surprised at first, but it only took a second to understand everything, "Oh."

"Go ahead." Chen Chen turned and walked towards another room, "I'm going to talk to Zhixiu."

Knocking on the door gave Zhixiu some time to react, and Chen Chen also tidied up his hair, which had become a little shaky due to sweating.

"Please come in." Zhixiu's voice came out. At the same time, she stretched her head to see who was coming, "Ah, it's Oppa. Has Oppa finished his work recently?"

"It's almost done. It's much easier than I thought." Chen Chen sat down next to her and then fully unfolded the bag. "I bought some food. Do you want to replenish your strength before starting recording?"

"I won't eat unless I'm very hungry, and I'll have to eat on the show soon." Zhixiu sat obediently in her seat, raised her head and asked Chen Chen carefully, "Is Oppa looking for something to do with me?"

"I'd like to share good news with you." Chen Chen cleared his throat and adopted a very formal tone, "After research and discussion by C Headquarters, your program "I Prepared a Little Dish Today" has been officially recognized as a mature YouTube program. The host’s restrictions will be greatly reduced, and you can do whatever you want in the show.”

"..."

"Why didn't you respond?"

Chen Chen saw that Jin Zhixiu became confused instead, and suddenly felt a little puzzled.

"Is this a good thing, Oppa?" Jin Jixiu asked confused.

"Isn't it a good thing that I have a bigger say in the show?" Chen Chen scratched his head, "Are you someone who likes to wait for others to arrange things before doing it?"

"That's how idols are, they only do things arranged by others." Jin Jixiu shrank her neck, "It's no good if you have more power to speak. The responsibilities are also greater, and you have to use more brains."

"It is true that the responsibility has increased, but the outside audience will originally attribute all the responsibility for the quality of the program to you, and this does not affect it." Chen Chen briefly analyzed it for her, "There is no need to use your brain to increase the amount of responsibility. Yes, it’s up to the production team to prepare things for you and you can operate them. You just have the right to refuse things you don’t want to do, and you have the right to discuss with the team if there are other things you want to do.”

"Oh, that's pretty good." Zhixiu suddenly became happy, "I have a lot of things I want to try."

"For example?" Chen Chen asked curiously.

"Create your own dishes as you wish!" Kim Ji-soo's eyes sparkled, "It must be great to combine various ingredients with your imagination and finally turn them into something beautiful."

"The process is great, but the result may not be great. Mixing ingredients randomly may lead to food poisoning, so you must have a dedicated person to take care of you when doing this." Chen Chen curled his lips, "You can do this Please pay me the salary, I won’t do it.”

"Then what if there is no such person?" Jin Zhixiu wondered.

"Without that kind of person, the production team will never allow you to mix ingredients at will." Chen Chen said seriously: "Once anyone follows your example and gets food poisoning, the program will be destroyed, and C Department will be destroyed." If you are indirectly harmed, the development of your artist career will also be severely affected, and it may be the end of it.”

"Hey~ It's so dangerous." Zhixiu patted her chest nervously, "I originally thought it was something I could play casually."

"Food is the most important thing for the people, and no one can be too cautious about food." Chen Chen rolled his eyes and thought of other things, "But, if you really make a good match, C Department can Let’s promote this combination with you and eventually make it your food brand, and we can make some money together.”

"Isn't the food made by me?" Jin Zhixiu was stunned, "Why did we just make some money together?"

"I'll provide you with a platform, I'll help you protect it, and we'll bear the risks ahead together. Why can't I get a share of the pie?" Chen Chen's eyes widened, "You Jin Zhixiu, you can share adversity but not wealth, right? Bar?!"

"Oh, it's the same as sharing money with the company, right?" Zhixiu said, "But if we really succeed, my company will also share the money, right?"

"Theoretically, that's the case, but in fact, Waiji may have stopped us since we had this idea." Chen Chen spread his hands, "What you are currently consuming by starting your own business must be what Waiji has put in a lot of effort to create." BLACKPINK’s brand image, they definitely don’t want to.”

"So I can only play it as a game?" Zhixiu was a little unwilling.

"At least that's the case now." Chen Chen rubbed her head helplessly, "Just work hard. If you work hard enough, things may change in the future."

In Chen Chen's understanding, it was because of this that Jessica had so much trouble with the idiot back then.

One wants to develop his own brand, and the other feels that he has spent too much time creating the name Girls’ Generation and cannot let you just use it directly.

Of course, Foolish Company's perverted desire for control must have played an important role in this, and it would not be such a disgraceful result if it was willing to take even half a step back.

After all, they have been working hard for you for so many years. It shouldn't be a problem to take a step back. Even if you can't take a step back, you should at least do it decently.

But this is all Chen Chen's guess. No one knows what the truth is, and he doesn't intend to let Zhixiu test how Waiji will respond to such a thing.

"Oh, by the way, Oppa." Zhixiu suddenly thought of something else, "I have selected the advertisements I want. You can take a look when you have time."

"Okay, just wait until I'm done with my work these days." Chen Chen nodded and said, "Actually, you can just discuss this kind of thing with the production team. It's not a big deal."

"The production team strongly urged you to check it out, saying it seems to be very relevant." Jisoo replied.

"Really?" Chen Chen didn't take it to heart at all, "I'll look back."

"It can't be like this." Zhixiu saw Chen Chen's indifference, so she held Chen Chen's palm and begged: "Don't look at it casually, you must look at it very seriously!"

"..."

Chen Chen was a little surprised that the little girl would make such an action, but he still shook his hand.

"Okay, I will definitely look at it very carefully."...

Returning to the president's office, Shirley looked up at Chen Chen and pointed to something on the table.

"Have you finished chatting? I've also made the changes here. Do you want to send a copy to the idiot company?"

"Send it over. The sooner I settle this, the sooner I'll feel at ease." Chen Chen sat in his seat and sighed, "Now that we've got the silly company, we still have to deal with crooked chickens. After the crooked chickens are over, we still have to run around second-tier companies. Why did I suddenly become a salesperson?"

"Because you were already doing business, weren't you a salesperson or something?" Shirley stood up and got him a drink, "But this time it was quite easy. At least you are in good spirits."

"As long as it's a profitable business, both covertly and covertly, talking to you, Mr. Li Xiuman, will go very smoothly." Chen Chen unscrewed the cap of the bottle and took a sip, exclaiming happily, "It's a big company after all, you idiot. Step by step, it will take time to change the position of more people who can speak in the company.”

A large company is involved in many aspects with the publishers it has cooperated with for a long time. It is impossible for the company to immediately cut off all relations with the original publisher and switch to the C headquarters just because Chen Chen offers a more profitable channel. That would cause big problems for the company. .

And because the other party was a big company, Chen Chen couldn't force them to submit like he did Hong Shengcheng.

Therefore, what Chen Chen wants from the company is the production and distribution of Red Velvet-related products, and what he wants from the company is the production and distribution of BLACKPINK-related products. They use a pilot implementation method to prove the reality to them.

As long as they find that they can make a lot more money using the C headquarters channel than the original channel, they will naturally transfer the products of other artists to Chen Chen, otherwise the shareholders will not agree.

You can't force it, but you can take the initiative. It can be regarded as a story of "the sun and the north wind".

"The stupid company didn't give Red Velvet to EXO, so will the crooked chicken adopt the same approach and give you Bigbang instead of BLACKPINK?" Shirley came behind Chen Chen and pressed his shoulders, curiously saying: "Will you accept this? Result?"

"What's not acceptable?" Chen Chen leaned his head back until he felt the soft elasticity. "They used these two groups to test me. I used these two groups as materials to prove my ability to them. Those two The group is essentially just a guinea pig.”

"Furthermore, the foundation of these two boy groups in the Chinese market is very scary, and the company also wants to know how much of their prestige is left." Chen Chen added.

Again, in terms of South Korean groups that have truly benefited from the Chinese market, who can compare to these two boy bands? If this experiment with them achieves good results, the minds of these two entertainment companies that have benefited from the Chinese market will become more active again.

"Why are you so confident?" Shirley felt that Chen Chen was a little abnormal.

"No one knows the Chinese market better than me, and no one knows better than me how crazy my channel will be if it really starts to attack." Chen Chen put forward a quite bold idea, "If such a large enterprise is far away, If China makes fake data, will the entertainment company in South Korea find out? "

"I definitely can't find it, but it doesn't seem like I need to find it." The strength of Shirley's hand gradually slowed down, and it was obvious that all her energy was spent on thinking, "The data you made are fake, but the money you gave here is based on the data. Yes, the more fake it is, the more the entertainment company will make, and the more you will lose.”

"The more entertainment companies make, the more they want to invest more resources and make more, and then they will tie us tighter and tighter." Chen Chen smiled slightly, "When half of the body is tilted over, they still have Any chance of escape?"

"At that time, I will be able to make back all my previous losses, and I will have a few more entertainment companies that I can handle, and I can use them to do more things in the future."

"Maybe it will be easier than spending money to acquire it directly."

"Doing business with big companies is like seeking skin from a tiger." Chen Chen sighed deeply, "I'm glad it's not me who will be served at the table this time."

"..."

"Are you harming people?"

Shirley was silent for two seconds and then suddenly asked.

"I'm not harming anyone, I'm just objectively stating the possible disadvantages." Chen Chen said to himself, "There is nothing in the world where you can only get benefits without paying the price. It's impossible."

"Anyway, they are willing to hand over a group to give it a try, which means they want to take a bite of the cake. Their willingness to come closer is greater than their willingness to stay still."

"As for whether they come closer reluctantly or happily, it all depends on their own decision."

"..."

"Wait a minute. You don't think I deliberately want to trick them to death, do you?!" Chen Chen seemed to have noticed something was wrong. He stared with exaggerated grievance, "I just talked about the price and didn't have time to talk about the benefits. The benefits are... Much greater than the cost!
"They must have figured out what I said, and whatever happens next is all of their own free will! And even if they are really manipulated, it is just a change from being manipulated by the other side to being manipulated by us. In fact, it is more Good choice!" Chen Chen raised his head and pretended to be in disbelief, "You actually miss me that much? Your sweetheart is not such a bad guy!"

"Oh, people got it wrong!" Shirley's face suddenly turned red. "I still don't understand how these things are operated. I just don't want to see my own country's companies being cheated by overseas companies. That’s all.”

"Come and give me a kiss." Shirley quickly kissed Chen Chen on the forehead, "Kiss me and it will be over. Don't mention it again in the future!"

"Haha."

Chen Chen smiled and said nothing more.

It is normal to worry about one's own country's companies. It would be bad if Shirley ignored South Korea and went completely to Chen Chen's side.

"Speaking of which, have you read the various reports the company has received recently?" Shirley changed the subject, "Now that you are active again, let's deal with the things accumulated before."

"You really are," Shirley complained a little, "Just hide and hide, the company's affairs can still be handled, right? Even if you don't care about that, you really have it!"

"Because I don't think anything more important than what I'm doing now will happen, so I just want to experience the feeling of disappearing completely." Clearing his throat, Chen Chen picked up the president's sheet music and said, "Assistant Cui , please give me the files that you haven’t processed in the past few days.”

Shirley rolled her eyes at him, avoided his outstretched hand and directly covered the document on his head.

After blowing hard and letting the document slide down his nose and mouth into his arms, Chen Chen read it at a glance.

However, after taking the first look at Chen Chen, he regretted it.

"I'm so stupid, really, why didn't I come back earlier to look at the files?!"
