Wang's Korean entertainment

Chapter 1196 Despicable and sinister you
"In 09, I returned to Korea and signed a contract with SM before my military service."

While Yin Zhi was flipping through the stack of documents in his hands in surprise, Han Yu who sat cross-legged beside him was also patiently explaining to her.

"You also know that there are many people who are very important to me in the Girls' Generation group. At that time, I really didn't want to hand over their freedom to a group of guys who I didn't trust at all. So, there is These agreements that you see now."

Yin Zhi raised his eyelids, and gave Han Yu a vague look, "So you used the 9000 million here?"

"Actually, 9000 million a year."

Han Yu gritted his teeth with hatred when he said this.

"Until last year, I basically paid US$9000 million to SM every year to maintain the legal validity of this contract. Although SM once terminated the agreement in 11 and 12, but later because I came to the door on my own initiative, the contract It continued to be implemented. After all, not everyone can refuse the 9000 million unearned extra cash every year."

Yin Zhipi looked at Han Yu with a smirk, and said words from between his teeth: "I don't care about it later, but do you know how important the 09 million in 9000 was to us?! "

"Of course I know that it was the time when LJ most needed capital injection in the early stages of development."

Han Yu nodded indifferently, and then changed the topic, "But when two things conflict, you have to choose the more important one. Do you think LJ is more important in my eyes, or Yoona Are they important?"

Han Yu's words made Yin Zhi a little silent.

After being silent for a while, she glared at the man in front of her angrily, and spit out that comment again: "Pervert girl control!"

"Whatever you say, at that time, I was really sorry for you when I spent such a large amount of money. I have nothing to say about it." Han Yu looked indifferent, "But this was a loss-making business. It seems that I have earned it."

Yin Zhi frowned, picked up the thick stack of documents on the floor, and shook them at Han Yu, "I have just reviewed these documents, it is true that you have ownership of Girls' Generation, but this ownership is There is a time limit, if SM does not agree to renew the contract with you, this contract will be invalid from then on. And more importantly, there is no provision in it, you also have ownership of the name 'Girls' Generation'."

"That's because the contract you want to see is not in these documents." Han Yu suddenly laughed.

Under Yin Zhi's puzzled eyes, he turned around and reached out to the unopened purple safe in the dark compartment, that is, the safe marked with the name "Taeyeon".

In the same way, after the four numbers "0309" were entered sequentially, Han Yu also easily opened the door of the purple safe.

Yin Zhi who was behind couldn't help but stare intently, and she was stunned when she saw it.

It is very different from Lin Yuner's safe, the situation in Kim Taeyeon's safe can be called deserted.

Compared with the huge space in the safe, the actual storage in the safe is pitifully small, only a stack of things is placed in the middle layer.

From Yin Zhi's perspective, there should be several photos and several documents.

"Is this what you want to show me?"

Not interested in looking at the photos of Kim Taeyeon taken in different periods, Yin Zhi couldn't wait to take the documents that Han Yu handed to him.

She flipped through the above several documents in succession, and found that the contents were almost the same as the documents in Lin Yuner's cabinet. They were the original copies of the agency contract that Kim Taeyeon and the others had signed with SM over the years, but just when she was about to open her mouth to ask Han Yu When she was reading, she turned to the bottom contract, and her eyes were attracted in an instant.

"This, this is..."

After flipping through it for a few seconds, the expression on Yin Zhi's face gradually turned into surprise, even surprise.

She hurriedly looked through the previous contracts again, and finally looked up at Han Yu with a somewhat unbelievable expression on her face, and asked, "What's going on?"

The contract she was holding at this time was actually nothing special to say. From the signing date, it can be seen that this should be the earliest ownership transfer contract signed by Han Yu and SM.

The problem is, as a strong woman who has been tempered in the business for a long time, Yin Zhi couldn't help but feel her heart skip a beat after repeatedly studying the regulations on the contract!
There are no problems in other places. The biggest problem is the most important and most easily overlooked regulation in the contract.

This regulation stipulates that SM agrees to hand over Party A's rights in all contracts signed between the company and the nine members of Girls' Generation to Han Yu.As for the brokerage income that Han Yu promised to SM, there are other regulations stated below.

Yin Zhi looked at it at first, and always felt that something was wrong.

After thinking about it carefully, a fact that she ignored suddenly popped up in her mind!

You know, this contract was signed when Girls' Generation just debuted, that is to say, the content stipulated in the contract includes the group contract of Girls' Generation!
The management contracts of group idols are also divided into individual and group. This is because when artists always have solo activities, the distribution of income cannot be fully implemented according to the content of the group contract.And no matter which group it is, the ownership of the group's brand name must be included in the content of the contract signed with the company before the initial debut.

SM and Han Yu signed this contract, that is to say, SM also transferred the group contract when they debuted when they were young to Han Yu!

Yin Zhi just looked back at the contract renewals between SM and Han Yu, and found out, as expected, that among the contracts signed later, the content of the contract signed by SM and Han Yu was still to transfer all the rights of Party A.

Even the contract signed between Girls’ Generation and SM Entertainment has a time limit. After the agency contract expires, all the rights of Party A held by SM will be invalidated, so SM is not afraid that Han Yu will hold the Girls’ Generation group in his hands once and for all. .

But the problem right now is... In the group contract that SM first signed with the nine members of Girls' Generation, some rules are permanently effective!

For example, regarding the right to use the name "Girls' Generation".

"How do you say something? You have to act early."

Han Yu grinned slightly at Yin Zhi, who was full of surprise, and said softly: "You don't know how big a 'tasteless' Girls' Generation was to SM back then. SM was declining in the field of girl groups at that time, and was eager to re-establish itself. Prestige, one can imagine how angry those people in SM were after the 'Black Ocean' happened. They began to become impatient. They wanted to keep fighting, but they were also afraid that Girls' Generation would be like Tianshang Jixi. They lost more than they got. You know what? Girls’ Generation probably wouldn’t even have the song ‘Gee’ that came out if it wasn’t for my money injection halfway through.”

"But it doesn't mean that they will really sign such a contract with you so easily, right?" Yin Zhi still feels incredible, "You know, once they sign this contract, it is equivalent to putting Girls' Generation together It is completely in your hands. What is the binding force of the agency contract, as long as you have the name 'Girls' Generation' in hand, you can form another 'Girls' Generation' anytime, anywhere!"

"The appearance of a big burden always makes people feel impetuous. My performance convinced them that I was just a young rich man with strange hobbies. Water, therefore, naturally let his guard down. The most important thing is—”

The smile on the corner of Han Yu's mouth became more and more gentle, and he said to Yin Zhi in a harmless manner: "When I was signing the contract, there was a little disturbance, which distracted everyone's attention, so Li Xiuman was signing the contract. When I made this contract, I didn’t really read the above regulations seriously.”

After saying this, he realized that Yin Zhi was still frowning and staring at him.

"That's it? How do I feel, what else is there?"

Han Yu looked at her calmly.

"……All right."

Han Yu, who was defeated, spread his hands: "Actually, I was wrong just now. In 09, I spent more than 9000 million. To be precise, it should be a little more than 9000 million. The extra point... I took it as The rewards were distributed to members of SM's legal team."

Yin Zhi couldn't help taking a deep breath. When she raised her hand, she didn't know which direction she was pointing outside, so she asked, "How many people are there in the SM legal team of our company these days?"

"It's hard to say." Han Yu shook his head honestly, "After I talked with that lawyer on the phone, I never contacted him again. But judging from SM's reaction, his deeds over the years should not have changed. It’s revealed, maybe I can talk to him again in two days.”

Yin Zhi looked at Han Yu with a complicated expression.

After a long time, she said quietly, "It's really similar."

"what?"

"Your despicable and sinister appearance is exactly the same as when you kidnapped me as your assistant in San Francisco!"

Hearing this, Han Yu was not angry, but said solemnly: "You know, I never do business at a loss. Since SM wants to take advantage of me, then they should be prepared to pay something."

"Just the name 'Girls' Generation' is enough for us to get our money back!"

Yin Zhi shook the stack of documents in his hands, and said in a dumbfounding tone: "The most brilliant name in the history of Korean entertainment, as the entertainment company that successfully poached the most successful girl group in history, LEON Entertainment is now It’s really going to be famous. Next, we only need to pay a small liquidated damages.”

"If my memory can be recovered sooner," Han Yu obviously regretted, "I can act before those girls sign a new management contract with SM. In this case, we don't even have to pay liquidated damages."

Yin Zhi pursed his red lips and stared straight at him, "Tell me honestly, you planned all of this a long time ago, right? You planned a long time ago to enter the Korean entertainment industry in the future?"
