“…After the rumors began to be popular, the company’s stock price has been in a state of ups and downs, and it fell by 3% last night.”

Holding the folder in his hand, the secretary was reporting to Li Xiuman about his secret actions for several days.

Li Xiuman narrowed his eyes and leaned on the back of the chair, facing the afterglow of the sunset. Half of her face was covered with a shadow by the deep red light, and she looked solemn.

"How many shares have you absorbed now?"

He asked in a low voice, rubbing his fingers against his lips.

"We have absorbed 0.8% of the shares circulating on the market," the secretary's voice was calm: "If you move more, you will easily be discovered by the China Securities Regulatory Commission."

"Well," Li Xiuman nodded and expressed his affirmation of the secretary's work: "You have done a good job and you have to be more stable now. Where are the stocks in the hands of other shareholders? Have you ever contacted them?"

"Not yet." Speaking of this, the secretary was a little worried but stopped.

"Speak straight away if you have anything." After glanced at him, Li Xiuman said in a veritable way: "I am not really a dictator, so I still understand this if I listen to both sides."

"Yes, the director." The secretary lowered his head, cleared his throat and asked for instructions, "Now, will he be alert to the shareholders? After all, President Jin..."

What he said further is very taboo. Even if he is Li Xiuman's confidant, he would not be able to sell himself so much.

"I also know what consequences will happen if these actions are transmitted to Yingmin's ears." Li Xiuman's eyes narrowed tighter, and his sharp eyes as sharp as a knife were shaking out of the gap, making the secretary who accidentally saw feel like a thorn on his back. He quickly lowered his head to avoid Li Xiuman's gaze, but his heart became more and more afraid.

"But, the first thing I do is that it is indeed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity now, which is conducive to our storage of shares in the stock market and strengthening our control over the company. The second thing is," Li Xiuman paused for a moment, and his fingers on his chin flicked restlessly.

"If, I mean if," his voice became increasingly dull: "My King Young-min and I have a head-on conflict, then whoever pulls the neutral and wait-and-see shareholders into their camp first will be the ultimate winner!"

"I think there will be no shareholder who is crazy and doesn't choose your director, right?" The secretary secretly flattered: "After all, whether it is qualifications, experience, connections, abilities, or all aspects, you are much better than President Jin - no, it should be said that you two are not comparable at all!"

"How could you say so simply?" Li Xiuman sneered, and his face returned to calmness.

His arms that had been holding his chest were finally released. He reached out to the desk, hesitated for a moment, and finally picked up the box of cigarettes that had not moved for a long time but had been spared.

"I'm sorry Eun-jin," sighed silently in my heart. The flames from the lighter illuminated Lee Soo's wrinkled face: "I broke the promise between us again."

"There are too many capable people in the world, but the head of a company cannot be easily measured by ability." Holding a cigarette with both fingers, Li Xiuman pointed at him and said, "Isn't Jobs also a genius? Wasn't he still voted by shareholders and expelled from the board of directors? Sean Parker is also a first-class businessman, and wasn't he snatched the shares in his hands by Mark Zuckerberg?"

"What shareholders need is not a capable leader, but an obedient guy who can protect their rights." Lee Soo-man sighed: "And in this regard, my disadvantages compared to Kim Young-min are really hard to say."

The secretary was silent and retorted for a long time: "But Sean Parker was not in a slump. Didn't he invest in other high-quality industries? Jobs was finally invited back by the shareholders who drove him away that year to save Apple, which was about to die."

"The problem is," Li Xiuman squeezed a vague laughter in his throat, which made people feel creepy: "I don't have as much time as Jobs, and I can wait for a king of twenty years to return."

"What I have to do is to cover my hands tightly until I die!" A hint of ruthlessness flashed in my eyes, and Li Xiuman crushed the cigarette that he had smoked less than half a cigarette tightly into the ashtray.

"I informed the composers who were still hesitating, whether it was Twelve, I would only give them three days. When the time came, those who had not given me an accurate answer were all eliminated by me and ruled out of my plan."

Turning around and standing up, Li Xiuman no longer had the aging and fatigue just now, and her whole body was still full of a smart and capable aura.

"But, Director." The secretary took a step forward and wanted to dissuade Li Xiuman. He roughly guessed what the boss wanted to do.

"No, but." With a wave of his hand, Lee Soo-man stubbornly blocked the secretary's mouth: "We have limited time and the situation is so critical. Whether it is SW who is still uncompromising or other companies that are ready to move, even Kim Young-min, who is still holding hands, is all a stumbling block on our way forward! There is no time to be indecisive anymore!"

He clenched his fist with his right hand and hung hard on the desk, making a dull sound: "I will do this SKstation myself! It's called SMstation!"

When Li Xiuman finished speaking, the secretary clearly saw a cluster of burning flames in his eyes, as if the elderly man who had lost all his energy in front of him had returned to the passionate years when he was domineering, roaming all over the world, not afraid of the world, and no one dared to fight with each other!

I couldn't help but feel excited in my heart. The secretary pushed his glasses and tried hard to suppress his desire to shout, and nodded fiercely: "I understand, I'll go now!"

"Yes." Li Xiuman nodded slightly, as if he had exhausted all his strength and sat back on the chair exhausted.

The secretary was about to leave when his cell phone rang in his arms. He frowned and took it out and picked it up.

"Hey, what am I???"

The sound suddenly turned high, and the sharp sound made Li Xiuman, who was resting with her eyes closed, open her eyes unhappily.

The secretary also looked over subconsciously, covering his cell phone with one hand, and his anxious actions could not hide his panic: "General, Director,"

The stuttering, trembling voice was very dry and a little scared.

"What happened? Tell me quickly!" Li Xiuman asked.

The secretary swallowed, muttered hard in his throat, and hurriedly turned on the TV.

SBS TV news is being broadcast.

"This afternoon, many entertainment brokerage companies such as JYP, YG, FNC, CUBE held a joint press conference in Seoul. Park Jin-young, Yang Hyun-soo, Han Seung-ho, Hong Seung-sung and other company leaders were present in person..."

With a "gaba", the secretary looked in the voice. It was Li Xiuman who forced a pen to make two pieces of it!

"…At the press conference, the relevant companies issued a joint statement announcing that they will carry out more in-depth and extensive exchanges and cooperation in business-related fields..."

The sound on the TV was still broadcasting, and it was breaking news at first glance, and even the anchor's voice was full of surprise.

The secretary was in a hurry to turn off the TV, but Li Xiuman shouted in a deep voice: "Okay, stop busy, let's talk about it after watching."

"According to expert analysis, this joint press conference symbolizes that the companies have worked together to form a loose alliance to jointly deal with the increasingly complex domestic market, and actively explore overseas markets to promote the further output of Korean wave culture. At the same time, the experts also pointed out that SM, a veteran entertainment giant, has absent from this conference, and the meaning is intriguing. It has to be recalled that a rumor that has been rampant in recent days..."

"SBS!!!" The secretary widened his eyes, his eyes ripped apart, and his roar burst out from his throat with anger. No matter how careful he was, he would not have thought that when things came to an end, the first one to take the lead was SBS who had always had a good relationship with SM!

"Okay!" Li Xiuman shouted loudly, stopping the secretary's impulsive behavior: "What's so annoying? Isn't it wrong that we are not good at being able to be seen by others?"

"But!" The secretary was young and energetic, and had not yet reached the level of cultivation. He asked in grief: "Now other companies have formed alliances, and SBS is openly stabbing us on TV, but what should I do!"

The face was not visible and the water was leaking, and his emotions were deeply hidden. However, the sound of Li Xiuman's footsteps exposed the irritability in his heart.

"Fortunately, the stock market closed at 2:00 p.m...." Suddenly, he muttered softly.

When the secretary heard this, he immediately felt a cold sweat behind his back. Yes, if this news was broadcast earlier and the stock market did not stop trading, SM's stock value would immediately flow down three thousand feet like an avalanche! Whether it was the news promoted by SBS, those brainless investors, or those who really understand the knowledge, the content associated with the situation at the press conference would only be negative news for SM!

"You go and raise funds now. The stock market opens tomorrow morning and enter the market immediately. No matter what, you have to stabilize the stock price. We will eat as much as others sell!" A gloomy flashed across Li Xiu's face, but he still explained to the secretary in an orderly manner: "Then, contact all the directors of the board of directors--No," he thought about it, and stopped talking again.

"Director?" the secretary who was still waiting for instructions asked tentatively.

"There are probably not too many supporters on the board of directors. Those people can change their skills when they see the wind..." Without speaking to the secretary, Li Xiuman was completely talking to himself, frowned, and waved his hand fiercely: "Contact all shareholders and hold a shareholders' meeting tomorrow!"

"Eh?" The secretary was stunned for a moment. Should he mobilize so many people? Moreover, the shareholders' meeting will be held the next day, and they will be notified one by one tonight. If he continues to be in such a hurry, how many shareholders will remain confident and believe that the company still has the spare time to deal with everything that happened?

"It's okay, just go." Seeing his concern, Li Xiuman comforted him: "As long as they are willing to come, I will have a chance to convince them and maintain confidence in the company!"

"What if I refuse to come?" The secretary said a little more.

"I don't want to come, wait until I get through the current difficulties," Li Xiu's eyes were full of gloom: "I won't use it again!"

"What about you?" The secretary asked as Li Xiuman took off the suit jacket from the hanger and was about to go out.

"I'll go to the SBS headquarters and discuss with Director Zheng." That was Li Xiuman's ally within SBS. Of course, it was the same as before. It's still not yet. It's hard to say. Li Xiuman went there in person, and he had to see it with his own eyes to be relieved.

"Then I'll call the driver to prepare the car." The secretary said in a panic.

Before going out, Li Xiuman's eyes fell on the TV screen, and the so-called "experts" in the picture were still talking.

"The formation of an alliance between small and medium-sized enterprises will help cope with operational pressure and share market risks, which is an important step in the rational allocation of industrial resources..."

Industrial resources? He sneered. Resources are always in the hands of a few people. The waves wash away the sand. The small companies that remain will naturally become large companies!

—————

"The JYP and his family have made a big noise this time."

At the same time, Lee Eun-gyu was also watching the live broadcast on TV with his subordinates in SW's office.

Of course, I didn’t expect that Li Xiuman didn’t get the news in time. When the press conference was still brewing, SW was already the first group of people to know the inside story in advance.

"Minsuo, your media friend, is really powerful and can even know such news in advance." Looking at the TV and complaining, Luo Yijing couldn't help but sigh: "I looked at the reporters who were all confused, and obviously didn't send a press release."

Jin Minshuo lay lazily on the sofa, with no part from head to toe trying to do it himself. Even when Luo Yijing talked about him, he just blinked his face a few times, and opened his lips slightly and whispered: "I'm not a media friend, but a second-hand dealer selling intelligence. Our rumors can spread so much that it affects SM's basic foundation, and it's thanks to his willingness to help."

It turned out to be a broker. "When he heard that the other party had this identity, Luo Yijing immediately lacked interest. He turned around and continued to watch TV, shouted, nodded in agreement or shook his head and scolded, but he was full of energy.

However, Kim Minshuo was physically and mentally exhausted by the hard work he had over the past few days. He finally had the opportunity to walk out of the recording studio. He wanted to knock him down on the spot and close his eyes and sleep in the dark.

"Other companies have already responded. What do you think my uncle will do?" Sitting opposite Kim Minshuo, Lee Eun-gyu's face was not very good, but she was very energetic by the sudden news. She glittered in her eyes and asked Kim Minshuo.

"Uh..." Kim Minshuo didn't know how to answer for a moment, but rolled his eyes in his heart. It was your uncle, not my uncle - it wasn't right. If he followed Shun Kyu to discuss his relationship, he would really call him uncle - the key is, I am an outsider, how could I know what that old guy would do?

"I can't say it." Carefully considering the words, Kim Minshuo's attitude was not very optimistic: "I'm afraid Mr. Li Xiuman is not a person who compromises easily. The key is that even if major companies form alliances, it seems difficult to pose too much threat to SM in a short period of time.
