It's nothing for C headquarters to launch its own artists and get involved in the idol and singer circles. The importance of artists in artist operations is not that high. No matter how good the quality of the artists you launch is, if they are involved in shitty operations, they will die.

There are countless examples of this kind in the circle of idols and singers, whether it is the current big three or the old strong ones in the past, Dipishe can easily pick out something worth talking about.

What C headquarters lacks most is employees who can do artist management work. Chen Chen cannot train them himself, and he cannot recruit such employees on the market. He can only poach them from other entertainment companies.

It goes without saying that there is a price to pay for poaching people, not to mention that the entire Korean entertainment industry knows that your C headquarters is trying to poach people, who wouldn't be on guard?
Therefore, the starship that is about to collapse must be the best target for C headquarters to attack, and the purpose of the sudden action of Sha Mao and Soy Sauce Bottle is to eliminate the possibility of C headquarters taking the opportunity to poach people.

After the collapse of Starship, some of the staff will follow KakaoM to withdraw, some will become followers of the Golden Age and stick to Starship, some will leave the circle out of despair, and the last part will be shared by other companies in the entertainment industry.
This part is the largest, most numerous and fattest, but it also attracts the most hungry wolves.

It is unknown how much high-quality content will emerge from between the fingers of the two big hands of SMART and Soy Sauce Bottle, but it will definitely not be much, and it will not be enough to satisfy C headquarters.

If Headquarter C does not fight for it, all the work will be in vain, and it will be difficult to get the type of employees that Chen Chen wants in the short term.

In fact, Chen Chen was quite happy when he learned the news that the two families suddenly attacked, and even secretly sighed that they were so thoughtful.

Knowing that we were in urgent need of manpower, you accelerated the process of destroying the starship. You cooperated with us without me having to say hello or make concessions. You are really the caring little cotton-padded jackets of C headquarters. The rapid progress of C headquarters must be attributed to you!
Chen Chen never thought that he would return empty-handed from the shipwreck plan. How could an outsider take advantage of something he designed from the beginning to the end!

"So how are you going to deal with it?" Shirley had a knot between her brows that hadn't been untied. "We already know they're going to deal with us. We can't just stand there and wait to die, right?"

"This is not a confrontation. It's just that the two allies found a great opportunity and attacked without authorization." Chen Chen chose to reach out and help her to calm down physically. "Do you believe that they will call me soon to give me some explanation?"

"It's not important!" Shirley was a little mad, "Tell me your back-up plan quickly. You must have a back-up plan to be so leisurely!"

"No, it's really not buried." Chen Chen shook his head repeatedly, "But we can indeed attack at the same time, and the force of our attack is even more fierce than theirs."

"How to make a move? They are doing this because they are sure that C headquarters can't come up with extra resources. I think the situation of our company is indeed similar to what they think." Shirley asked curiously: "You didn't tell me that you still have a small treasury that you don't use?"

"It's not a slush fund, it's just a normal capital return." Chen Chen sniffed, asked Lee Ji-eun to turn up the air conditioner before speaking slowly, "In the eyes of outsiders, C Headquarters is three TV series, right? Hotel Del Luna, When the Camellia Blooms, and Model Taxi 2. The first two are the highest production standards that cost a lot of money."

"Hotel Del Luna's production, post-production, and promotion will continue to cost money, and When the Camellia Blooms is still in production. Model Taxi 2 is just like its predecessor, and it's a money-burning movie, so they dare to say that C headquarters has no money."

"That was indeed the case, but no one noticed my recent moves with JTBC, and that's the capital I have left behind."

"Jieun has been 'released from prison', and the expenses of Hotel Del Luna have dropped drastically. And she just got out, so the news hasn't spread completely yet."

“‘When the Camellia Blooms’ was originally an independent production by C headquarters, but now it has become a TV series that has fully recovered its initial investment and is making money for the company during production.”

“The same is true for Model Taxi 2, which is also making money.”

"In addition to the TV series that are making money during the production period, CJ has recently sent us a lot of money in terms of publicity and promotion, plus the projects that C headquarters has been making money." Chen Chen touched his nose with ill intentions, "If we simply compete on available funds, it's hard to say whether the two companies combined have more than one person in our C headquarters."

"It seems that the information gap between you and me is about your business with JTBC TV station." Shirley was completely relieved and could even pick up the rice bowl to eat rice. "So, how do you do business with that side?"

"All expenses are borne by the TV station, and C headquarters is fully responsible for the production. People outside only know that C headquarters is independently producing TV series to be handed over to JTBC, but they don't know that the funds are all provided by the TV station." Chen Chen licked his lips, "You must know how much room for maneuver between the reported expenses and the production costs. Add to that the hard work fee that the TV station originally wanted to give us, hehehe, the reward is huge."

"No wonder you're not nervous at all. After all this time, you actually have so much available funds in your hands. It's really..." Shirley didn't know what to say. She wanted to praise Chen Chen but couldn't. However, from her position, she couldn't call him despicable or anything like that.

"But this won't make much money, right? Only a few cents can be deducted from the production cost. Is it enough?"

Li Zhien felt that she finally understood some of it, so she asked a question.

"The important thing is not the profit from the production cost, but the fact that C headquarters does not have to pay the production cost." Shirley explained, "Originally, the money would flow away as soon as it reached our hands, but now not only does it not flow away, but there are even new channels to replenish it. The combination of the two is extremely terrifying."

"Think about yourself." Chen Chen was afraid that she didn't understand, so he gave her an example, "How much can IU, who only makes money and doesn't spend money, save? Expanding from this to the company level, how much can a C headquarters that only makes money and doesn't spend money save during this period of time?"

"Oh, that's indeed a lot!" Lee Ji-eun nodded heavily, "It seems like a lot!"

In fact, money should still be spent on other projects, especially the recent Integrate, but if the production of the TV series, which costs the most, is stopped, the others will seem unimportant.

"What do we do next?"

Shirley asked casually.

"Do whatever you want." Chen Chen waved his hand and acted as the shopkeeper, "I'll give you the authority."

"Okay!" Shirley took a deep breath and puffed out her chest. "Since this is a battle we can't lose, it's no problem for a newbie like me to come up and fight."

"Then let's stop here." Chen Chen threw his phone aside in a relaxed manner, "Let's continue eating and play the second half!"

"Great!"

All the girls echoed in unison.

"Dingle bell bell~"

As soon as the chopsticks were raised, the mobile phone that was thrown away by Chen Chen started to make its presence known, and the sound was particularly shrill.

"Oh~" With a sigh, Chen Chen put down his chopsticks and picked up his phone again, saying to the girls, "You guys eat. The call I mentioned just now came. I'll take it."

Li Zhien nodded, then pulled Chen Chen's clothes hard to let him look at her lip shape.

Chen Chen couldn't see the lip movements clearly, but he roughly understood what they meant.

"On speakerphone."

What a gossip-loving woman.
