Chapter 139 GFriend!

Chapter 137 GFriend!

March 22, nine o'clock in the morning.

Kwon Taemin came to the company early. Today is the day when the company's council meeting is held. As the secretary of Su Jinxing, the initiator of the council proposal, Kwon Taemin came to the company an hour early at ten o'clock when the council started. , making the final preparations before the start of the council.

At the same time, Kim Taeyeon's home.

cloakroom.

Su Jinxing stood in front of the full-length mirror wearing a shirt, while Kim Taeyeon stood aside and quickly browsed Su Jinxing's clothes in the cloakroom.

"Take off that brown-gray wide lapel collar, and there are other three-piece suits to go with the collar." Kim Taeyeon pointed to a suit hanging on it and said to the housekeeper.

The housekeeping aunt immediately took off the three-piece suit (blazer, vest, trousers).

"You don't need the vest." Su Jinxing looked at the vest and felt a little headache. The Korean suit style is basically a three-piece suit, which is considered standard. Su Jinxing does not reject it, but the weather at the end of March... …

"There is air-conditioning in the car, and the company also has it. What are you afraid of?" Kim Taeyeon, who was only wearing pajamas and standing barefoot on the floor, just touched Su Jinxing's shoulder, but her stare still pressed Su Jinxing speechless.

Submissively put on the brown-gray suit with wide lapel collar that Kim Taeyeon chose.

"Take the tie with the stripes." Kim Taeyeon said, and the housekeeping aunt handed over the tie.

Kim Taeyeon stood in front of Su Jinxing and tied a tie for him.

"I'll make you a tie nest, a half Windsor knot." Kim Taeyeon said.

"The half-Windsor knot is a bit crooked." Su Jinxing looked at the tie knot in the mirror and said casually.

"Just handsome." Kim Taeyeon patted Su Jinxing's chest and nodded in satisfaction.

"Don't forget the collar pin, collar chain, and pocket square." Taeyeon said halfway, "Forget it, let me fix it for you, and you will forget it later."

"It's good to have you." Su Jinxing said with a smile while standing still, allowing Taeyeon to perform.

"It's good to know." Kim Taeyeon said without raising her head while holding a pocket square for Su Jinxing.

Su Jinxing looked at himself in the mirror and nodded in satisfaction.

It’s hard to see the brand of a suit with the naked eye, that’s why Li Dongjun likes to make that kind of distinctive big-name fashion suits. It’s hard for the naked eye to see the difference in the fabric, let alone the brand, if you don’t know the classic styles.

So how to distinguish the suit is good or bad?
You can see a little bit by looking at the details, but normally, you can't see it.

Only a custom-made suit can fit well, and it can also reflect the advantages and disadvantages of the figure to the greatest extent.

Taking Su Jinxing as an example, his suits are always flat and wide, with a perfect fit without any flaws. The clean trouser line, smooth shoulder line and arm arc are all things that can only be achieved by customization.

And in terms of details...the things Kim Taeyeon arranged for him are also very ordinary.

Visual department, Su Jinxing's brown-gray suit is very soft, and it looks very alive, soft and shiny, and the texture is obvious. Even if you don't get started, you can understand the value of this suit.

"Okay, is Chairman Su satisfied?" Kim Taeyeon took two steps back and disappeared from the mirror.

Su Jinxing looked at himself in the full-length mirror, and nodded in satisfaction.

"With the blessing of the jersey chosen by Wuli Taeyeon, today's council meeting will definitely be a success." Su Jinxing said with a smile.

"Speak Chinese again." Taeyeon rolled her eyes at Su Jinxing, "Today's meeting is about GFriend, right? You put so much effort into this group, I wish you success."

"Yes." Su Jinxing nodded, looking at himself in the mirror, "GFriend will succeed."

……

At 53:[-] Seoul time, SM company top floor, meeting room.

"Director." Kwon Taemin, who was waiting outside the door, immediately greeted Su Jinxing surrounded by his assistants.

"Have all the directors arrived?" Su Jinxing asked.

"It's all here. Director Li from Samsung, Director Zhu from the Congress...the five executive directors are here, and the other [-] directors are all here except Director Zheng who is going to the United States to attend by telegraphic union." Kwon Taemin quickly Said.

"It's all here." Su Jinxing nodded, "Go get ready."

"Inside!" Kwon Taemin is very nervous at the moment. He has a lot of secret information about Su Jinxing, so he naturally understands the importance of the council this time. This is an opportunity to take off, and his interests are tied to Su Jinxing. Yes, if Su Jinxing succeeds, his status as a secretary will naturally increase.

Su Jinxing pressed the doorknob, pushed the door open and entered.

For a moment, many eyes in the meeting room fell on Su Jinxing.

Su Jinxing smiled and nodded to the representatives of various forces and the core figures of SM power.

When looking at a middle-aged man wearing golden glasses and a well-fitting suit, the other party smiled slightly at Su Jinxing.

Representative of Samsung Venture Capital, a branch of Samsung Group, one of the five executive directors of the SM Council, Director Li.

This Director Li rarely participates in the SM company's board of directors. Whether it is the strategic development of SM or personnel changes, this executive director who represents Samsung's bet on SM Company is like an outsider, watching everything with cold eyes.

In his previous life, Su Jinxing remembered very clearly that in 2016, Samsung Venture Capital withdrew its bet on SM Company. So far, SM Entertainment, the leading Hallyu leader that has gone downhill, lost the investment from the largest chaebol group, and accelerated. The speed of falling from the altar.

Samsung Venture Capital is an angel investment company under Samsung. This type of large enterprise has a dedicated investment company. The Sunshine Capital established by Zheng Chengtai for Su Jinxing is also a reason.

Investing does not mean standing for you.

There are many companies invested by such large enterprises. Investment does not mean that they will become your backstage.

But the special nature of SM company made Samsung the background of SM for a period of time.

But the follow-up may be because of the power struggle between Kim Young-min and Lee Soo-man, Kim Young-min has the upper hand, and he has a closer relationship with the Blue House.

Or maybe it was because Li Xiuman, who supported him, lost his previous ambitions.

The reason Su Jinxing is not clear, but in the end Samsung not only stopped supporting SM, but even withdrew its investment in SM in 2016.

Su Jinxing's status in his previous life was too low, he didn't know exactly what happened, but what is certain is that it must have something to do with SM's subsequent development downhill.

Director Li's attendance at this meeting means that he has entered the sight of the behemoth Samsung, and his own value has obtained the threshold for betting. Next, it is time for him to show his potential.

"Since the main person in charge of the proposal has arrived, let's start?" Li Xiuman glanced at Su Jinxing, and said with a kind smile on his face.

The chairman spoke, and all the directors naturally had no objection.

Su Jinxing stood up, holding the remote controller prepared by the council secretariat.

……

outside the meeting room.

"Has the meeting already started?" Cui Yongxia found Kwon Taemin and asked.

"Just started." Kwon Taemin nodded, "How is Director Han?"

"Han Xiyan said that the Council of Korea is on the side of the directors, but the specific situation needs to wait until the end of the council."

Kwon Taemin nodded upon hearing that.

"Where's Li Dongjun?" Cui Yongxia asked.

"Li Dongjun and his mother are very supportive of the directors. Several directors of the council related to them have expressed their views. If Director Han does not have any problems, this time the proposal is the worst and will get a guaranteed result." Kwon Taemin guessed.

"I hope." Cui Yongxia is not very optimistic. He has rotated into the third department in the eight major departments of SM company, and he has a deeper understanding of the internal situation of SM company. The vitality that a trend-setting entertainment company should have.

The director's concept is too innovative, and Cui Yongxia doesn't really see the success rate of this proposal.However, with the support of these people, no matter how bad it is, the proposal will not be completely rejected.

"Wait for the result."

"I'll go back first." Cui Yongxia glanced at the closed door of the meeting room, and said to Kwon Taemin.

"En." Kwon Taemin nodded, watched Cui Yongxia leave, and continued to stay at the door, waiting.

conference room.

Su Jinxing once again put forward a proposal to have two girl groups run side by side, but it was still rejected by a high number of votes.

Most of the members of the council still do not approve of the plan of paralleling the two women's teams.

Being rejected again, Su Jinxing looked calm, this scene was within his expectation.

Thinking of this, Su Jinxing looked at a director who had a close relationship with Li Dongjun's mother.

The council agreed and spoke.

"Director Su's ideas are indeed bold, but the changes he has made since he came to the company are all known for their unconstrained style, such as pen-hold shooting, the "Red Velvet" draft, etc. The two girl groups that Director Su said are indeed too aggressive. But I think we can make some attempts as appropriate."

"Director Su's project is indeed excellent, but I don't know what Director Sun means by trying?" Another director sang a double reed in cooperation with Director Sun.

"It depends on Director Su." Director Sun kicked the ball to Su Jinxing, and his task has been completed.

Su Jinxing pretended to ponder, and then spoke.

"The biggest problem that everyone opposes the double girl group is the resources in all aspects. The company still maintains the same strategy. The resources are prioritized towards Red Velvet, and the resources of GFriend are fully in charge of me."

"Oh? This is the resource of the entire girl group. Where does Director Su have the confidence to say such a thing?"

It was Jin Yingmin who spoke, and at this level, it was no longer the time for the director to interrupt.

"Of course I can't do it personally." Su Jinxing smiled slightly, "Red Velvet is a rookie group, and it is impossible for the company's newcomer resources to be occupied by Red Velvet. The rest can be given to GFriend, and I will show it to the directors The brand-new variety show of "Red Velvet" and the aftermath of "Red Velvet", there will be resources that will take the initiative to come to you. Therefore, there is no need to worry about the resources of GFriend in the early stage, as for the next resources..."

Su Jinxing looked at the directors.

"Whether the girl group is popular or not, you can basically see it within two years. If not, then give up GFriend."

"There is no precedent for our company to abandon a girl group." Min Xizhen said flatly.

"Before us, there was no precedent for pen-hold shooting and open draft." Su Jinxing said with a smile.

Several senior executives stopped talking, but quietly pondered the feasibility of Su Jinxing's words.

After a long time, Li Xiuman, who was in the first place, said, "What does Director Su want to do? What do you need?"

Let go!
Su Jinxing's spirits vibrated slightly, he just let go.

GFriend has the campus trilogy, and will not be given up at all, and the limit given by Su Jinxing is two years.

Compared with GFriend with him in the first two years of Red Velvet's debut, he was completely suspended. At that time, he will not worry about SM not giving follow-up resources.

"I am going to create a label called GFriend under the name of the company. The label will be operated independently, managed by me, affiliated with the company, and the profits will be shared with the company."

"Similar to a personal studio?" Director Han asked with great interest.

"Yes, it is similar to a personal studio, but it is essentially a company, and the brokerage contract is also in the company. The only difference is that the brokerage contract no longer involves revenue sharing, and only includes the signing year and other terms that do not involve income distribution. The revenue contract is determined by the label itself." Su Jinxing further explained.

He had long been displeased with SM's vampire contract, and the board of directors had mentioned it once before, but it was sternly rejected. It involved his own interests, and basically no board members stood by him.

Su Jinxing knew that it was unrealistic to directly request to amend the contract, so he came up with a variation.

You choose the remaining resources for me, and I will operate them independently. Do you still have the nerve to give me a vampire contract?

Some directors didn't think so much, but some people noticed the deep purpose of Su Jinhang's label plan, but they didn't point it out.

The brand is the only one, it doesn't matter.

And I have to say that this label has really no effect on them. If they succeed, they don't need much resources from the company to get profits.

Sounds good.

"What if there is a resource conflict between GFriend and Red Velvet?" Min Xizhen asked again.

She is the operation of Red Velvet, and she needs to ask about the key points in it.

"I will handle it, and the result will be submitted to the council for review."

Min Xizhen nodded, which seemed to agree with Su Jinxing's statement.

"Do you have any questions?" Li Xiuman said.

No one speaks.

"Then, let's start voting. Please raise your hand if you support Director Su's GFriend label proposal."

Many directors raised their hands.

"Please raise your hand if you oppose Director Su's GFriend label proposal."

Many directors also voted against it.

"The directors who abstained please raise your hands."

The three directors raised their hands and the director of the ITU who was far away in the United States also raised his hand.

Su Jinxing glanced at Director Li, who abstained from voting, and Director Zhu, who voted against, and thought about it.

"Then..." Li Xiuman sighed slightly from the bottom of his heart, but still had a kind smile on his face.

"Thirteen votes in favor, seven votes against, and four abstentions. Director Su is not eligible to vote. With more than half of the votes, the proposal is passed."

Su Jinxing exhaled slowly, with a bright smile on his face.

Finally...it's done.
