Chapter 114 The Value of SNSD

"Representative Yoon, do you know CEO Kim Young-min of SM?"

"We met at the awards ceremony and I have his number."

"Call him and arrange a place to meet him."

"Okay...what do you want to talk about?"

"How can I get Girls' Generation?"

Yoon Hye Na and Kim Young Min made an appointment at a coffee shop, "I didn't expect Representative Yoon to take the initiative to ask me out. The achievements of Z Entertainment during this period shocked the entire entertainment industry."

"It's my turn to say this. SM is the well-deserved No. 1 in South Korea's entertainment industry and is a model that we all need to learn from."

The business exchange started first, and when the atmosphere was up, Yin Huina explained the purpose of her visit.

"Under any conditions, SM will give up Girls' Generation."

"Girls' Generation... that is Teacher Sooman's favorite work. Why would Representative Yoon think that SM would give up on her?"

Yin Huina smiled freely and confidently and said: "No matter how proud your work is, it has a price after all... Director Kim, please set a price!"

"Why them? Does Representative Yoon have any plans for SNSD?"

"Everyone has their own hobbies. Our president Ni likes to collect stamps. She always wants to keep beautiful things to herself. The same is true for Girls' Generation."

"Although this is just his personal preference, as a subordinate, you should share the worries of your superiors. You can't just wait for the president's orders to do everything..."

Jin Yingmin felt a little uncomfortable, if he understood correctly.

The other party’s intention was to use Shaoshi to please his president and give him a ‘doll.’

Yoon Hye Na did not disparage Girls' Generation, nor did she mention how serious the current "Black Sea" incident was.

What a bad impact it has on the development of girlhood.

Their commercial value is destined to be destroyed. Even if they continue to persist, they will only waste a few years and finally quietly announce their disbandment.

There may be a handful of fans who feel sorry for this, but that's all.

She just told Kim Young Min her opinion clearly, 'Girls' Generation is just the president's personal preference, don't give up their final use value.'

These words made Kim Young Min feel very uncomfortable. After all, SNSD is SM's ambitious project, and the company invested a lot of effort and resources into them.

Now, the only value in her opinion is to give it to others to make 'dolls.'

Fortunately, it was Kim Young-min who came today. If it had been Aman, the scene would have been ugly.

"Representative Yoon, Teacher Xiuman will not agree. SM has confidence in SNSD and they will overcome this difficulty."

"Really?" Yin Huina's strange expression was full of doubts, clearly saying, 'Do you believe this?'

Kim Young Min naturally didn't believe it. No one in SM except Uncle Man believed that SNSD could become famous.

But after all, his arms couldn't hold his thighs, and Uncle Man stubbornly wanted to continue to hold on.

Everyone in the company was talking a lot, and they couldn't help but feel a little worried.

“Hasn’t Director Kim ever thought about creating a new group to ban Girls’ Generation?”

Yin Hui Na's suggestion brought back the past in Jin Yingmin's heart.

When he first joined SM, he also wanted to be like Uncle Man and become a star-making godfather who is admired by the world.

Engaged in the entertainment industry, personally created a top team that makes the South Korean nation proud, and left his name in the history of South Korean entertainment.

But I don’t know when he started to change from the dream-chasing boy he once was to a businessman who only knows how to pursue profits and obey orders.

Just thinking of Lee Soo Man, the light in Kim Young Min's eyes dimmed, "With Teacher Soo Man here, SM doesn't need other star-makers. His achievements are obvious to all."

Lee Soo Man, who is also the chief planner of SM, does not allow anyone to interfere with his work.

"If you don't try, how will you know whether it's his ability or SM's mechanism that can make them succeed... No one can keep going right without making mistakes."

"Representative Yin, I think today's conversation is over and it's time for me to leave." Jin Yingmin refused to continue talking to her.

Seeing the other party's uneasy expression, Yin Hye Na took out her mobile phone and dialed a number, "I am Yin Hye Na of Zy Entertainment. I'm looking for President Lee Soo Man..."

Back at the company, Jin Yingmin received news that the president was looking for her.

Knocking on the door with some anxiety, and hearing the reply "come in", Jin Yingmin gathered her mood and opened the door, "Brother Xiuman, you are looking for me."

"Well, I went out to meet someone?" Li Xiuman raised her head and asked him to sit down with a smile on her face.

Jin Yingmin hesitated for two seconds and said without hesitation: "Yes, I just met with Representative Yoon of Zy Entertainment. She wants Girls' Generation."

"Take advantage of the situation." Li Xiuman said cheerfully: "Go on, what conditions does she give?"

Jin Yingmin was stunned for a moment, this was different from what he thought.

"Uh~ She asked me to make a price, but I refused, saying that SNSD is not for sale to the company."

"Yingmin, don't be so rigid in doing things. We are businessmen after all. Whether we are making music or selling soup and rice, we are all doing it to make money."

Now Jin Yingmin was completely confused. Could it be that there was an impostor in front of him?

You can't blame him for thinking this way, it's just that Lee Soo Man's attitude changed so much in the two days before and after.

At yesterday's meeting, someone suggested disbanding SNSD, disrupting the members' individual activities, developing their own careers, and terminating their contracts if they have no value.

He got so angry about this that the table was almost thrown away, and he threw it to the floor and said loudly: "If we want to disband SNSD, SM will give up the girl group market from now on."

Now, he tells himself that this is all just business, don't be so rigid in your life?!

Haha, Xibala, are you kidding me?

"Representative Yin from Zy Entertainment called me and they are willing to compensate me in full as liquidated damages."

SNSD's total liquidated damages are 9.3 billion yuan. With this income, it can not only make up for the company's previous investment, but also make a lot of money.

Sure enough, talent is the most valuable resource.

If someone else told him, he would be willing to spend 9.3 billion to satisfy his own selfish desires.

Lee Soo Man not only didn’t believe it, but also yelled at the other person on the spot to ‘get lost.’

This is obviously an insult to myself...

But if it were Zy Entertainment, Lee Soo Man had to consider the authenticity.

In South Korea, all incidents involving chaebols cannot be treated with common sense. None of those guys have a normal mind.

In particular, it also involves the Sanxin Li family.

Li Xiuman didn't want to be at odds with the Li family, no matter what the reason was, he didn't want this to happen.

The influence of Pansanxin Circle in South Korea, and even in Europe and the United States cannot be underestimated.

They seem to have nothing to do with each other, and even the shares have been cut off, but no one can clearly explain the connection.

Just like the relationship between Sanxin and CJ, who dares to say that they really understand it.

They fall in love and kill each other, but they also cooperate vigorously in many fields such as charity.

If SM wants to go further, it must find a way up.

Li Xiuman once wanted to build a new ladder on his own, but he is about to give up now.

Upward channels have been completely blocked, even the entertainment industry is no exception.

Therefore, he needs to borrow a ladder to heaven.

Pan Sanxin Circle is the best choice and the only opportunity in front of you.

SM has been independent in these years and has no color against any chaebol. It is just to protect itself and does not dare to take sides easily.

But as competition becomes more intense and more and more chaebol capital pours in, even SM will be unable to withstand it.

Lee Soo Man needs a chance, SM needs the same chance...

"So, just hand over SNSD like this?" Jin Yingmin's attitude changed, and his tone was filled with awkward reluctance.

Previously, when he thought Lee Soo Man was unwilling to do so, he was very willing to trade SNSD.

But now Lee Soo Man has become the one who wants to trade, and Kim Young Min's thoughts have completely reversed, and it is his turn not to agree.

Looking back, Kim Young Min began to think about how to convince others to stay at SNSD.

Seeing his performance, Uncle Man said calmly: "Yingmin, I know you have always had your own ideas. How about I leave you in charge of the next girl group?"

"Brother Xiuman, is it true?"

"How about all the trainees, you can choose..."

Li Xiuman was extremely proud of having solved the only obstacle. As long as he understood the other party's needs, he could easily convince the other party.

His vision of seeing people is still as accurate as ever.

Next, it’s time to talk about a deal with Zy Entertainment. If the other party can help introduce CJ’s Chairman Son Kyung-sik to him, there will definitely be no problems with the deal.

"Li Xiuman wants to meet with you in person. Secretary Xia has arranged the time for 3:45 pm."

"Well, how did you convince him?"
