Chapter 1192 I wish I could just get three points

After three long days, Chen Chen finally waited for Zheng Bingji to visit again.

It’s not that Zheng Bingji is so important to Chen Chen, it’s just that he is the last thing to be dealt with during this period of time and can be regarded as a sign of the completion of the work.

It's only a few busy days to lay out the plan and make the necessary decisions. When it comes to the execution stage, there are plenty of capable people in C headquarters.

"This is my plan and the contract I want to sign with C headquarters." Zheng Bingji handed over both documents. "Please take your time to read them. If you need me to explain anything in detail, just let me know."

"No problem." Chen Chen called over his assistant, "Liuran, pour a glass of water for PD Zheng. It may take me a little longer to read the information."

Letting Jin Liuran meet Zheng Bingji in advance was just Chen Chen's little bit of bad taste and it did not affect the overall situation.

After pretending to flip through a few pages, Chen Chen skipped the business plan and went straight to the actual contract at the back.

With the "Future Vision", Chen Chen knew very well what was in the plan, and even knew what level of completion Zheng Bingji would achieve.

So the most important thing becomes to figure out what C headquarters has to pay and what it can get by paying these things.

"Did PD Zheng change his mind these days?" Chen Chen waved the contract in front of his eyes. "You are not planning to start your own company, but to make my C headquarters have another subsidiary."

"No one can shamelessly say that they are an independent company, spending your money and employing your people." Zheng Bingji rubbed his hands awkwardly. "In fact, I have thought about only giving you 40% of the shares, but I really don't have that much nerve!"

"The situation where KakaoM sponsored someone else to start a company and only took 40% of EDAM's shares is different from my situation. At that time, they had IU as their trump card and had sufficient bargaining power."

"I have nothing in my hand right now except a project proposal that has been rejected several times. If I think too highly of myself, I will end up with nothing."

"In fact, I was planning to raise money to do the work myself." Zheng Bingji said sincerely: "Thanks to you and C headquarters for giving me confidence."

“Why not seek help from those startup incubators?”

Chen Chen asked a little more because Zheng Bingji seemed to have taken this path “before”.

"They are vampires."

Zheng Bingji explained the reason in a few words.

"In addition, I have learned about the situation of Cube Entertainment and Starship after they became subsidiaries of C headquarters." Zheng Bingji added: "My judgment is that even if they become subsidiaries of C headquarters in terms of shares, the company I want to establish will still be free."

"It's a good idea, but what if I say that C headquarters doesn't want to take 60% of the shares?" Chen Chen slapped the contract on the table and pointed to the last few clauses. "I want your company...what's it called? I want your company MODHAUS to cut off all ties with C headquarters. This investment is considered as my personal investment in your Zheng Bingji's desire to start a business, and the shares will be converted into 40%."

"You are not willing to spend the resources of C headquarters?"

Zheng Bingji's originally happy expression suddenly became not so happy.

"Of course I am willing. Since I have approved your plan, I will naturally mobilize resources to help you achieve your goal as soon as possible. However," Chen Chen changed the subject, "this kind of thing cannot be reflected in the contract. I don't want it to become a clause."

"I think I understand what you mean." Zheng Bingji's face recovered, "I agree."

"I'm glad you understand." Chen Chen picked up the tea in front of him and took a sip. "Wait for me to prepare the contract in the next few days. Then you can come over and sign it."

"Thank you, Boss Chen."

Zheng Bingji didn't say anything extra, just kept thanking him.

"Don't be so polite. I invested in you because I thought I would benefit from it." Chen Chen called out again, "Liuran, send PD Zheng downstairs."

"Ok."

The young assistant quickly ran over and took Zheng Bingji out.

"Hey, what did he understand? Why didn't I understand?!"

Less than ten seconds after Zheng Bingji left the house, Shirley hurried over.

"I don't care what he thinks, as long as he agrees." Chen Chen drank his tea calmly, "If he agrees, my goal will be achieved. I don't care about anything else."

"Take a guess. Think about how he would understand the conditions you proposed from his perspective." Shirley said excitedly, "I think your two ideas are 100% not in sync! I like to read stories like this where two people have different ideas but do things really well!"

"Well, let me think about it." Chen Chen frowned, "If I am a person who solicits investment, and I offer 60% of the shares to other investors, but they don't want it, and they want 40% and then..."

"Oh, I see. This idea is not hard to guess." Chen Chen simply sorted it out and understood, "He thought I didn't want the important C headquarters to be involved with him, a new entrepreneur."

"How do you say it? How do you understand it?" Shirley asked.

"C Headquarters is so large and is in an unstable growth period. It is normal for it not to want to play with an even more unstable company at this time." Chen Chen explained: "In his understanding, it is to protect itself by cutting off its relationship with C Headquarters."

"If this investment is successful, then it doesn't matter what happens. Whether it's related or not, it won't affect the benefits that C headquarters will get from this investment. After all, I am one with C headquarters."

"But if this investment fails, it will be my personal mistake and will not affect C headquarters in the slightest."

"That's probably how he understood it." Chen Chen finally added a disclaimer, "Don't blame me if I'm wrong. I'm not a worm in his stomach."

"It means taking less shares in exchange for less responsibility." Shirley understood quickly, "It seems that people like to do this when investing nowadays."

"Then you are wrong." Chen Chen smiled and shook his head. "Nowadays, if there is a profit from investment, I get the lion's share. If there is a loss, you have to pay it yourself. Not only do you have to pay your share, you also have to pay my share!"

"Wow~" Shirley couldn't help but open her mouth wide, "It seems so exaggerated, but it seems to be real."

"It really exists. You will know it once you understand it." Chen Chen corrected her view. "Small investments may not be so important, but large investments are probably like this." "Okay." Shirley nodded and moved her body closer to Chen Chen. "Then what do you think? Why are you willing to only take 40% of the shares? I don't believe that you will really not give resources, and I don't believe that you dare not gamble. What I don't believe the most is that you will take the initiative to suffer losses!"

"I am definitely suffering a loss now for the sake of future benefits." Chen Chen smiled and explained, "NFT is something that big guys can play with. When PD Zheng started doing this, he touched upon the domain of big guys."

"If Zheng Bingji does well and is willing to let the boss move his fingers to play with him, I have to leave room for him to come in."

"If I take 60% of the shares and have absolute control, then other big guys might not bother to come in and play, or they might try to find a breakthrough from me and come in to play."

"Anyway, no matter which result it is, it's not good for me. I might as well take 40% and sit on the sidelines, leaving the problem to the capable PD Zheng to solve."

"In fact, if I wasn't afraid of scaring him, I would have only taken 30% of the shares." Chen Chen said with some regret, "But then my purpose would be too obvious. I don't want him to pretend to be confused, but I want him to stay confused."

"..."

Shirley was a little speechless for a moment. She still underestimated Chen Chen's ability to predict the future.

"What if his MODHAUS becomes very big? Wouldn't you regret taking the 20% less shares today?" Shirley asked unconvinced.

"Forty percent is already a lot." Chen Chen smiled and shook his head. "First of all, MODHAUS has to be bigger than C headquarters before I can admit that it is big. Do you really think that forty percent of the shares of a company that is bigger than C headquarters is too little? Wouldn't you feel greedy if you asked for 20% more?"

"You are still more cunning." Shirley could only sigh.

"Okay, hurry up and prepare the contract." Chen Chen handed her the contract left by Zheng Bingji. "After you finish preparing, go and have a rest. You only have three or four days of free time."

"Well, Integrate's comeback is about to begin, and C headquarters is still very busy." Shirley took the contract, "What about you, what are you going to do next?"

"Find songs for Integrate and film and television resources for the actors." Chen Chen's scalp tingled when he mentioned this. "Each of these tasks is so difficult that it makes me want to cry, but these are things that I have to do continuously."

"Oh, by the way, Yongzhi also said that she wanted to talk to me, and I have to find some time to see her." Chen Chen suddenly remembered something.

"Oh, the most independent person in C headquarters actually wants to see the boss?" Shirley was also surprised, "What does she want to do?"

"I don't know. No one can guess what that girl is thinking." Chen Chen thought of it and asked one more question, "Are there any problems with the operation of the biggest anchor and internet celebrity in your I branch?"

"No problem. We have always been an entertainment company at the forefront of the Internet, so it's hard for us to have problems." Shirley complained, "It's just that I was forced to learn a lot of knowledge about the Internet, and I may be confused by these new things at any time."

"Just adapt and accept it. The most important thing is your mentality." Chen Chen reminded: "You must keep your mentality high, at least higher than the Internet. Tell yourself that the Internet is just the Internet, it means nothing, and its impact on you is quite limited."

"I think I've almost done it." Shirley pursed her lips. "The proof is that now when I think back to what I went through in the past, I don't feel any emotion at all."

"Well done, keep it up."

Chen Chen praised sincerely, he really felt that Shirley did a good job.

……

After returning home, Chen Chen ate something and went straight to bed. When he woke up, it was exactly six o'clock in the morning.

"Wake up~ Are you so tired recently? This is the first time I see you sleeping for so long."

Bae Joo-hyun, who was half leaning against the head of the bed and looking at her phone, felt something next to her and turned her head to take a look.

"Yeah, it's very tiring, mainly because it takes too much effort to handle the details." Chen Chen rolled over into his girlfriend's arms, "C Headquarters has almost done all the big things, so there is a reference, and we just need to apply it according to the standard process. But the small details are all different, and each one has to be redesigned, so it's very laborious to handle them."

"You were able to sleep for so long, does that mean you've finished everything?" Pei Zhuxuan smiled, "You slept very peacefully last night. I didn't see you move from the time you washed up to the time you went to bed."

"It's all done. Now it's time to see the results." Chen Chen exhaled, and he became more excited when he thought about what was coming next. "First, I'll watch the sister group episode of "Shine Grocery Store", then watch Integrate's comeback and sweep the idol market, and then at the end of the month, I'll visit the set of "Hunting" to see where my money has been spent."

“In September, we’ll first look at the anniversary of Integrate, and then see how Squidward Games performs in the international market.”

"The next step is to see the debut of C headquarters' second girl group, LIGHTSUM." Chen Chen suddenly laughed when he said this, "We have to keep an eye on this. It is 100% certain that Hybe's new girl group will debut."

"I feel like this is the least important thing to watch. It's a consensus in the industry that Hybe's new girl group can't beat C's new girl group." Bae Joo-hyun shook her head. "Hybe's misery didn't win any sympathy. What it did to its subsidiaries is in everyone's eyes. The pit dug by the bad feelings can't be filled by the sympathy here."

"We are not focusing on winning or losing, but focusing on Hybe's little moves." Chen Chen said in a different way, "If we can get a handle on Hybe, C Headquarters will have a great advantage in the future when fighting with Hybe."

"But isn't your next plan going to target SMART?" Bae Joo-hyun asked.

"It doesn't affect me. I don't spend much energy on Hybe. I will mainly focus on SMART." Chen Chen sighed fiercely. "SMART is still too difficult to deal with. It will be difficult for me to deal with it unless something unexpected happens."

"If it's difficult, then don't do it. C Headquarters is already a giant, there's no need to focus on idiots." Bae Joo Hyun wanted to laugh as she spoke, "C Headquarters is a very good disciplinary police. Since Integrate debuted, there have been no problems related to China in the idol circle."

"This has little to do with the supervision of the C headquarters. The main reason is that Integrate showed those people that the Chinese market is accessible and that they can directly ascend to a higher status after entering." Chen Chen just found it funny. "Only a fool would think of offending such a market. Then you have to speak nicely and carefully."

"It's all about profit, it's all about business!" Chen Chen snorted coldly, "Hybe's attitude towards the Chinese market is so bad because their BTS has opened up the international market. The Chinese market is no longer the most important target for attack."

"Oh, right." Chen Chen suddenly became curious, "From the perspective of idols, what do you think of Chinese fans?"

"Chinese fans are farther away, so it's more difficult for them to support us, so we have to do more to cherish them." Pei Zhuxuan said casually: "That's about it."

"..."

"Fuck, she's worthy of being an idol." Chen Chen cursed inwardly, "What she said really makes me want to chase her."
