After the dinner, Lee Kwang-soo left with Lee Ji-eun's autographed album, and the remaining three went to C headquarters.

Since I'm free anyway, it's nice to go to Chen Chen's office and chat to kill time.

"You still carry your autograph album with you? You must have some ideas."

Chen Chen brought him a drink and then mentioned what had just happened with a smile.

"I know I'll be meeting Kwang Soo Oppa today, so I must bring a copy." Lee Ji-eun dreamed unrealistically, "Maybe he will be so kind as to promote me during the next recording of Running Man."

"Your autographed album doesn't seem to be that valuable, and even if someone else promotes it for you, it will probably be cut out later." Sulli took out a bunch of snacks from the cabinet in the corner, "Do you still have room for snacks? Come on, have some anyway."

"Wow~ You two are in a really good class." Lee Ji-eun didn't know what to say except envy, "It's so casual and free, it doesn't look like a South Korean company at all."

"But you've moved to the new building, but your two offices haven't been separated yet." Lee Ji-eun asked curiously.

“Because there’s no need.”

Chen Chen replied with a smile.

"Yes." Shirley's smile was genuine. "As the number one errand boy, I have to follow the only decision maker in our company wherever he goes. This way, we can work more efficiently and it is convenient for me to ask for advice at any time."

"It sounds good, but." Li Zhien grabbed her bestie's hand with some heartache, "C headquarters is such a big company, there must be a lot to do, can you handle it?"

"It's not that bad actually." Shirley leaned close to her friend's ear and whispered, "I'm telling you, the big boss is a lazy bum who slacks off all the time. If I can learn even 30% of his abilities, I won't feel the hardship at work anymore."

"I think you're becoming a workaholic." Li Zhien pinched Sulli's waist, "You don't even want to play with me lately!"

"You can't blame me for this." Shirley joked, "My boss and my best friend are all workaholics. If I don't work harder, I'll become a loner."

"Okay, okay, whatever you think is good." Li Zhien thought of another person, "Where is Hara, what is she busy with?"

"..."

Although the topic of the conversation between the two besties was very relevant to Chen Chen, he always felt like he couldn't get involved. He could only walk aside tactfully and look at the report that had recently been sent from C headquarters.

Every department is thriving, except for the Variety Department.

There is no need to say much about the direct artists of C headquarters. Li Yongzhi can handle almost all the work by himself, and there are very few things that need to be handled by the company.

And because of debuting in C headquarters, the opportunity to contact and meet Na Yeong-seok was greatly advanced, and the future seems to be a little brighter.

Not to mention Integrate, the resources they get are the kind that they don’t have to pay for themselves. Relying on Chen Chen’s personal connections, it is enough to feed the girls who have just debuted.

The non-title songs in the album were all obtained by Chen Chen for free, the title song was "borrowed" by Chen Chen from other places, the physical album and various peripheral products were all handled by Black Cat, and C headquarters paid the internal price and it didn't cost a penny at all.

The only thing that would cost a lot of money was the MV, but the money saved from other parts could make more than ten MVs, so Chen Chen never took it to heart.

So, overall, Integrate has never spent much money, which made Chen Chen think that raising an idol was a very cheap thing.

On the contrary, Integrate's income is real money. The more things you sell and the more activities you participate in, the more income you will get from the company. They have just debuted and can already carry a part of the revenue data. These girls are really Chen Chen's treasures.

Not to mention the actors' revenue, Seohyun, who established her status in the circle by starring in "Radiant", Suzy, who is extremely fierce in herself, and Zhao Yixian, who starred in her debut, can be ranked about fifth in the C headquarters in terms of net profit data.

Yes, it is the fifth. Chen Chen counted it and it was indeed the fifth place.

The first is Big Brother Bubble, the second is the huge kickbacks received from some of Tik Tok’s work, and the third is the publisher business done with Black Cat. These three are unshakable trees.

The share of the publisher business allocated to C headquarters is not much, and the majority of it is eaten by Black Cat, so although it looks very powerful, C headquarters itself does not make much profit.

The situation on Tik Tok is a little more complicated.
The position of general manager of South Korea was given to Chen Chen, and C headquarters did not have it. Therefore, the revenue of C headquarters from Tik Tok is actually the rebate compensation that Chen Chen got when some people in the entertainment industry needed to use personal connections to find him.

Not a few, but not a lot either.

I won’t say much about Bubble. The more people use Bubble, the more C headquarters earns. The most important thing is that C headquarters gets the lion’s share of the Bubble money.

If we take into account Chen Chen’s investments in the film and television industry, this should be the fourth place in terms of net profit.

But Chen Chen felt that it was his personal behavior and could not be counted, so the fourth position was the live broadcast department.

Don’t underestimate the revenue of the live broadcast department. It is even more exaggerated than Chen Chen imagined.

China's live broadcast industry is several levels ahead of the world average, so when Chen Chen openly brought the domestic live broadcast system to the Internet, the effect was particularly good, and he quickly established his own mature harvesting system.

Moreover, Chen Chen unexpectedly discovered that he seemed to have caught up with the period when the suit men were prosperous, so he decisively seized the opportunity and got a good deal.

"C Headquarters is a serious entertainment company. Their subcutaneous drivers can't be bad looking!"

There are many V circle fans who are frantically exchanging gold coins with this belief, which makes Chen Chen stunned.

Chen Chen couldn't understand why those people cared so much about whether the driver under the skin looked good or not when they were just looking at the virtual image, but Chen Chen respected all the big brothers who were willing to spend money in the live broadcast room.

Therefore, the revenue data of the actor section where Suzy, the top actress of C headquarters, is located, is actually not ranked at all in the company.

It’s not that the actor section is not good. This data would definitely be very strong if it were in other entertainment companies. Suzy alone is enough to be the leader.

But C headquarters is different. It is a super monster that consumed more than 40 shares of the starship without affecting itself at all. If this data is put in, it has to be ranked at the back.

Well, now that we have almost finished reviewing everything else, we can move on to the variety show department, the only section that feels like it is taking a step backwards is the initial section of the C headquarters.

It is understandable why it is a result of regression, because Chen Chen had previously led the variety show department to do a lot of big things but now they are all gone. However, the embarrassing situation of the once glorious section is still very sad. It feels like Chen Chen is watching the complete death of "We Got Married" with his own eyes and feels helpless.

Speaking of which, Chen Chen does have a crazy idea that seems to be able to save the variety show department.
