Chapter 273
"The next one is the issue we discussed yesterday about the Dream Hunter and Girls' Generation..." Kim Min-young said slowly, looking up at the directors present. What should come is always coming. Even if he is a little unbearable about Kim Joo-wook's experience, he cannot change the resolutions of the directors who are being directors. "I hope you can keep lucky..."
The atmosphere in the venue was a bit subtle, and the directors obviously divided into two factions. One side chuckled leisurely, while the other side looked at Li Xiuman who was sitting there helplessly. The current situation was very unfavorable to Li Xiuman. The old director who had a good relationship with him began to shake. If this happens, it is difficult for these investors to believe in a young person outside the company.
"I hope everyone will think about it carefully. We can see the abilities of this young man, Jin Zhuoxue, are obvious to all. Fighting with him will not be beneficial to the development of our company..." Li Xiuman said lightly, his heart full of helplessness. The things he could help end here. Even when facing Jin Zhuoxue, he had a clear conscience...
"I agree with Director Li Xiuman's opinion!" The sudden statement made all the directors stunned, especially those who had smiled before, who looked at Zhang Minrong who was talking in surprise. In the eyes of everyone, Zhang Minrong stood up with a smile and looked at Li Xiuman and said, "Director Li Xiuman is the leader of our s.m company's music concept. We should believe his judgment... We cannot ruin the relationship with Jin Zhuoxu because of an unfavorable combination..."
"Oh? That's what you think?" Li Xiuman squinted his eyes and looked at Zhang Minrong. This guy couldn't have suddenly stood on his side. Could there be something wrong with things?
Zhang Minrong smiled and nodded at Li Xiuman and said loudly: "Not only do I think so, but in order to improve my relationship with Jin Zhuoxu, I have communicated with him many times. Through hard work, finally, yesterday, the other party agreed to join our s.m company!"
"What? Is this true?"
"Has Director Zhang really done this?"
As Zhang Minrong finished speaking, the quiet in the conference room was broken by the discussion. They knew that Jin Zhuoxue had always been negative about joining S.M. Unexpectedly, Zhang Minrong really took down this difficult bone... If Jin Zhuoxue really joined, then it would be a huge good news for S.M. Not only did he have a popular male solo artist, but he also had market guarantees in the United States and Europe. Thinking of this, the directors began to spontaneously applaud Zhang Minrong's "achievements".
"Thank you..." Nodding to the surroundings, Zhang Minrong continued: "Of course, we need to express our sincerity in s.m. After all, the other party is a singer who has a certain popularity in South Korea and is in a strong overseas momentum... These are some requirements when I communicated with him yesterday. If s.m can do it, he will sign a contract with us immediately..."
After distributing the materials in his hand, Zhang Minrong looked at Li Xiuman proudly and said slowly: "Jin Zhuoxu proposed to replace the contract with us... and use him to replace the Girls' Generation by himself..."
"What?!" Li Xiuman didn't mean to read this material. In his opinion, Zhang Minrong was just bluffing. Can Jin Zhuoxue cooperate with such a person? But after hearing the first one the other party said, Li Xiuman shouted in surprise and quickly picked up the information in front of him. While watching, his face became gloomy, "We can't agree!"
"Director Li Xiuman... You have been advocating for consolidating your relationship with Kim Joo-wook before, why have you changed your mind yet? You are so difficult for us to deal with!" A director looked at Li Xiuman with an angry face, and the director on the side also echoed, "Yes! No matter how you look at the replacement plan, we s.m took advantage of it. We used a female group with an unknown future to exchange for a male artist who could write and sing... You are reluctant to leave Girls' Generation, right?"
"I think it was done by Director Zhang that I didn't do it. Director Li was unhappy..." A director sitting next to Zhang Minrong said sarcastically, and he didn't forget to look at Zhang Minrong and asked, "Director Zhang, are you sure that s.m doesn't have to pay another penny in addition to contract replacement?"
"That's what the other party said... and the age will continue according to the age of Girls' Generation... that is to say..." Thinking of the number that made him not close his eyes for a night last night, Zhang Minrong couldn't help laughing, "The contract period of his s.m company will take at least 11 years!"
"11 years..." Hearing Zhang Minrong's words, most directors could not sit still. For a rooster like Jin Zhuoxue who could lay golden eggs, 11 years was enough for S.M Company to gain a foothold abroad. Looking at the happy directors, Li Xiuman's heart was covered with clouds. He knew better than this group of people. Such a contract can only show one thing-Jin Zhuoxue is going to attack S.M Company...
There is no need to continue the meeting. Signing Jin Zhuoxu has become a consensus among most directors. Now even the directors who originally supported Li Xiuman no longer insist. After all, most of the people sitting here are for the sake of interests, and no one will give up this opportunity to take care of Li Xiuman's idea.
"I'm going to meet Jin Zhuoxu." After the meeting, Li Xiuman simply said to Yu Yongzhen beside him, and walked into the office alone. No one knew what he was thinking now. Yu Yongzhen looked at the closed door and was silent for a long time, shook his head and left. These things were not what he, the head of the music department, should care about.
"Where is that boy?" The first sentence he approached the bar cooled the air. Lee Soo-man's face lost the usual smile, but he just looked at Lee Min-hyuk behind the counter coldly, making the other party start to get nervous.
"He is having a meeting, for the Girls' Generation incident briefing..." Lee Min-hyuk said simply, understanding in his heart why Kim Joo-wook deliberately asked himself to come to the bar to guard. Maybe he also knew that Lee Soo-man would be back...
"I want to see him, please inform me." Li Xiuman said expressionlessly, and did not rush upstairs and shout. After all, this time it was Zhang Minrong's attack first. Jin Zhuoxu could endure it until this time, which was beyond his expectations.
"Uncle Xiuman, you are here..." Jin Zhuoxu walked down the stairs with a serious look on his face. It seemed that he had prepared for what he was coming. Li Xiuman no longer thought about it and signaled him to sit down, "You brought up the matter from Girls' Generation?"
"Yes, it was me who proposed it." Without an extra explanation, Jin Zhuoxu said simply: "Zhang Minrong threatened me with the matter of taking back the management rights, which made me very uncomfortable. Girls' Generation has spent too much effort on dream seekers, so I can't let the girls become a weak existence."
Looking at Jin Zhuoxu who was telling his thoughts truthfully, Li Xiuman was so angry that he had no reason to vent. Even if the other party acted like he was not allowed to do so, he would scold the boy. But now what people are talking about is the truth, how can he say it? Is it unfaithful to scold him?
"How are you going to deal with Zhang Minrong?" Li Xiuman changed the subject. This was the second thing he was worried about. If the s.m company was damaged by Zhang Minrong, it would be something he didn't want to see...
"There's no way..." Jin Zhuoxu said and smiled bitterly, "I didn't hide it from Uncle Xiuman. Originally, my plan was to obtain the other party's equity in s.m company by suppressing the mice behind him, and then use the equity to trade with you... But now all the ways you can go seem to have been blocked. I asked Quan Zaixi to see him and didn't even meet anyone. It seemed that he was invited to attend a banquet. Fortunately, he changed Girls' Generation..."
"Can this be called a blessing?" Li Xiuman's tone changed when he heard that Jin Zhuoxu was actually planning to stay in s.m company. He sighed and looked at Jin Zhuoxu and said, "I originally wanted to deal with you because you were trying to accept the artist, but your current situation made me angry and unable to make it..."
Looking at Jin Zhuoxu's helpless smile, Li Xiuman convinced himself to believe Jin Zhuoxu's words. He looked at the young man he liked very much and asked softly: "Use his eleven-year future to exchange for a girl group... I don't know what to say to you... If I were to change me, I would definitely endure it and wait until I have the ability to say it..."
"Uncle Xiuman..." Looking at Li Xiuman, Jin Zhuoxu said lightly: "I have never thought of such a complicated thing. My previous experience made me just want to put my time on music. I am just a simple musician..."
Lee Soo-man was stunned for a moment, looked up at Kim Joo-wook and smiled. The laughter became louder and louder, making Lee Min-hyuk at the bar unable to help looking at this place, "Okay! What a simple musician! But do you know that when many people stand behind you and grow up with you, things will never be as simple as you imagined!"
This sentence was full of vicissitudes, which made Jin Zhuoxu unable to help looking at Li Xiuman, one of the most successful presidents in the industry. The other party took a sip of coffee slowly, and his eyes narrowed seemed to be tasting the taste of memories. "I remember you asked me before that you don't regret what you have done. I said I will never regret what I have done... Because I know that the decision I want to make cannot be changed because of a few people. I can't let more people who follow me work hard because of my temporary softness... You are still too young after all... After you really lead your team to work hard for a few years, you may understand what I said..." Slowly stood up, Li Xiuman said as he walked: "I will not help you anything in the future, because you are not a person who can cooperate with me at all! Let's go!"
"Wait!" Hearing the other party's shout, Li Xiuman turned around and looked at Jin Zhuoxu. He didn't know what this kid had to say to him. Jin Zhuoxu looked at Li Xiuman with a stubborn look and said loudly: "Even if you are disappointed, I hope you know that I have never thought about doing any amazing career! What I want is just making the music I like! The one I can't figure out is not me, but Uncle Xiuman, think carefully about why you worked with me. After thinking about it, you are welcome to find me at any time..."
"Arrogant boy..." Li Xiuman slowly turned around and walked towards the door and got into his own car. Only then did he start to recall Jin Zhuoxu's words, why did he cooperate with him? He probably refers to the Girls' Generation? Why was he moved at the beginning..."
