The prerequisite for giving KakaoM 40% of MODHAUS shares is that Chen Chen has this thing in his hands. Now Chen has nothing in his hands, so he can't give it even if he wants to.

But this problem is easy to solve. Chen Chen can ask Zheng Bingji directly.

Li Xunxi was not talking nonsense when he said that MODHAUS is a company completely controlled by C headquarters. This is indeed the reality.

Previously, there was no reliable helper who could help MODHAUS complete Zheng Bingji’s NFT concept, so Chen Chen had always left MODHAUS in a random position, with the aim of allowing the clean MODHAUS to attract the attention of the big guys.

Now that KakaoM has come to help, the distribution of shares has become a necessary tool to maintain the position.

"The final result will be a 40:40 ratio, with C headquarters and KakaoM each taking 40% in a relatively balanced state. You will take 20% in the middle, which can be called playing both sides or being bullied by both sides. It depends on your ability."

"But I don't think you will end up being bullied by both sides. C needs you to do things, and KakaoM also needs you to do things. Both sides need you, so neither side will make your life difficult."

"It's no news in the industry that I don't like to manage subsidiaries. KakaoM generally pays more attention to its own development and prefers to get the right results in the end."

"Oh my, oh my~" Chen Chen said cheerfully, "President Zheng is going to have a good life."

"Any entertainment company that can get support from C Headquarters and KakaoM will have a good life." Zheng Bingji couldn't hide the smile on his face. "I didn't expect that you could make KakaoM willing to support NFT. It's amazing!"

"It is one of the conditions for the dialogue. Otherwise, they would not have received 40% of the shares." Chen Chen sighed pretentiously. "It's hard work for President Zheng. He is in charge of all the affairs of the company, but he only holds 20% of the shares."

"No, no, no, that doesn't count." Zheng Bingji waved his hands quickly. "C Headquarters and KakaoM provide resources and various support according to my ideas, and MODHAUS develops and moves forward in the direction I set. In addition to my say in shares, I am the real controller!"

"Of course, this is based on the premise that C headquarters and KakaoM do not intend to use shares to target me."

"MODHAUS was established with your funds, and its foundation is based on the I branch of the C headquarters. It would not be excessive for you to take a little more shares."

"But you only took 40%, the same amount as KakaoM. Isn't it just to balance the other party and give me room to play freely?"

"I am only grateful in my heart, without any complaints or dissatisfaction." Zheng Bingji said with a smile: "If I must say, I am a little excited, because I see a chance for me to show my talents!"

"I'm a little excited too." Chen Chen touched his mouth to hide his smile, "Because KakaoM really gives a lot of things."

"How much did they give?" Zheng Bingji couldn't help but ask.

"You can see it for yourself after next year." Chen Chen kept it a secret. "You have to see it with your own eyes to feel KakaoM's sincerity."

……

……

The end of the year is always busy, as there are too many events held by the three major TV stations.

"The acting awards, the entertainment awards, the music contest, why do I have to participate in all of them?" Chen Chen sat in the car with a look of despair on his face, "Is this right?"

"That's right. C headquarters is doing movies, variety shows, and singers, and they're all doing very well." Sulli comforted her president while driving, "Theoretically, I should be the one to attend this kind of event, but the quality of our works is so good this year that you have to come forward. I can't handle it."

"..."

Chen Chen was speechless. In the C headquarters, only Shirley and he were capable of taking charge. Currently, he was the only one who could take on big responsibilities.

We still have to work harder, as C headquarters is seriously short of manpower.

"Where are we going now?" Chen Chen asked casually.

"MBC," Sulli replied, "Seohyun's "Red Border on the Sleeves" will win many awards, and she will also win the Best Actress Award in the Mini-Series category. We have to give her this honor."

"You're going to the SBS TV station tomorrow, and it's also an acting award show. 'The Penthouse' did quite well, you have to give them face."

"As for the KBS Acting Awards that will be broadcast on the same day tomorrow, you don't have to go. This year we have almost no cooperation with KBS TV station on TV dramas, so I will go."

"And this year is over." Shirley stepped on the accelerator a little deeper. "The world is in trouble, but our C headquarters is developing rapidly as if it is not affected. It's another year full of hope."

"What do you think we should do next year?" Shirley suddenly asked. "Generally, entertainment companies have already completed their plans for the first half of the year or even the whole year, but the top management of C headquarters still doesn't know anything."

"There is no plan." Chen Chen curled his lips. "The epidemic has only been relaxed, not over. Any plan will be a clown in the face of a sudden large-scale infection. But as long as we don't make a plan, we will never be a clown."

Given South Korea's population density, there will definitely be several waves of large-scale infections after the policy is relaxed. Chen Chen can infer this even if he has no relevant memories.

Even if such a phenomenon has not occurred in Seoul now, it will definitely occur in the near future, so all plans are nonsense.

There is no need for a plan to be disrupted at the beginning. One small move will affect the entire structure, and the rest of the plan will definitely be affected to a point that it will be difficult to accept.

"C Headquarters is currently only doing activities that will not be affected even if a large-scale infection breaks out." After thinking for a while, Chen Chen gave a slightly vague response, "For example, artists returning, and variety shows, filming of TV series. Offline activities will continue to be suspended, and more online activities can be arranged."

"If that's the case, then there's really no need to make a formal plan." Shirley shook her head. "Have you told President Jin and Boss Hong about this?"

"I even reminded EDAM Bae Jong-han, but his company only has IU, a well-known artist, so there is no need to make plans." Chen Chen joked, "After all, this only artist is working for me."

"Which TV station do you plan to broadcast Jieun's "My Runaway Diary"?" Sulli asked curiously, "Will it still be to the highest bidder?"

"This time they directly designated JTBC TV station." Chen Chen gave the answer, "First, we haven't worked with them for a long time, so we sent them an excellent TV series to build relationships. Second, they have a close relationship with the Baeksang Arts Awards, so maybe they can give Jieun one or two small awards."

"It's very important. This is really important. It's called a small prize, but there's no such thing as a small prize in Baeksang Arts Awards. Every prize is a bonus for Ji Eun."

"It would be fine if I could get a bigger award, but that's unlikely." Chen Chen smacked his lips. "The bigger awards at the Baeksang Awards in the past two years should all be related to C headquarters."

"The Baeksang Arts Festival next year will be dominated by Squidward Gamble, and the year after next?" Sulli drove into the underground parking lot, "It will be Dark Glory, I think."

"Oh, now I understand it better." Chen Chen unbuckled his seat belt in advance. "That's exactly what I thought, but I don't know about the reality."

"If I can't guess it when the action is so obvious, then I shouldn't be in this position!" Shirley complained: "A TV series that was probably finished filming in March had to be postponed to June or July for broadcast. Anyone who is not a fool can see that!"

"Okay, okay, I know you're not stupid." Chen Chen opened the door and got out of the car, "Go back quickly, you still have things to do today." "It won't be delayed." Shirley smiled and nodded, "It will definitely be officially announced before the live broadcast of the Acting Awards begins."

On December 29th, actress Park Min-young ended her artist contract with Namoo Actors.

Today is December 30th, so Chen Chen doesn't need to say much about what will happen.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, when everyone was enjoying afternoon tea, C headquarters officially announced the signing of Park Min-young.

Shock? To be honest, it shouldn't be considered a shock. C Headquarters has accepted more than one or two artists who left Namoo Actors. Everyone thinks it's normal for Park Min-young to choose C Headquarters.

But the voice was really loud. After all, many people in South Korea know this sister's face, and everyone can't help but say something when they see the news.
"Oh, it's her."

……

"Mr. President, why are you here?" Xu Xian was surprised when she saw Chen Chen in the backstage, "Shouldn't you be in the company?"

"Park Min-young's joining can be done by simply posting a news announcement. I don't need to come forward to attract traffic." Chen Chen replied: "The biggest traffic these days is the acting awards on various TV stations. It's hard to grab it."

"Besides, MBC TV station has given us so many awards for 'Red Border on the Sleeves'. It would be inappropriate if we didn't come." Chen Chen roughly counted in his mind, "The TV hasn't even shown the finale yet and they've already arranged seven awards for us. If I didn't have confidence in the quality of our work, I would think this is a deliberate flattery!"

"I couldn't believe it, actually." Xu Xian smiled shyly, "I was a little confused when I saw my name on the list. I thought the TV station had made a mistake."

"It's okay, we can hold on." Chen Chen changed the subject, "You should have been notified about the internal audition of the I branch, right?"

"I received it about a week ago." Xu Xian laughed, "It was Sunkyu who called me to inform me. I almost laughed at that time."

"How do you feel? Are you a little nervous being a mentor?" Chen Chen asked.

"A little bit, because I don't know how to control the degree." Xu Xian was a little confused, "Will it be scary if it's too strict? Is it irresponsible if it's too loose? Are the standards for male trainees the same as female trainees? Are the requirements we had back then outdated now? Anyway, I feel overwhelmed when I think about these things."

"Just change your way of thinking." Chen Chen gave thoughtful guidance, "You don't need to set a strict standard. You just need to judge who wins and who loses with your own eyes, compare them one by one and then rank them. Your task ends here."

"I understand, President." Xu Xian nodded vigorously, "I will strictly implement your ideas!"

……

After returning to C headquarters, Chen Chen met with Park Min-young and chatted with her, shaking her hand and collecting some information.

"bad thing!"

Chen Chen secretly thought that this was not good. This woman’s wealthy boyfriend was extremely troublesome and had greatly reduced the commercial value of the artist Park Min-young!
After carefully organizing the information in his head, Chen Chen spoke slowly.

"Why did you choose to join C Headquarters? Didn't your rich boyfriend plan to assign you to Hook? Or did he have other plans for C Headquarters and wanted to achieve them through you?"

"Why do you ask?" Park Min-young was shocked. "It's easy for any actor to choose C-unit. It has nothing to do with my boyfriend."

"What you said later is even more unreasonable. My boyfriend does have close ties with the entertainment industry and has his own company, but his thoughts about C Headquarters are absolutely unfounded rumors. Don't believe them."

Park Min-young felt that Chen Chen had heard some rumors and explained in a hurry.

But what she didn't know was that what Chen Chen heard was not a rumor, but the reality from his memory.

Her wealthy boyfriend is involved in an illegal black and gray industry with considerable influence, and there is a sense of collusion between officials and businessmen. He occupies almost half of the market in South Korea in terms of cryptocurrency.

His background as a fraudster, connections to the underworld, and foreign influence were all exposed soon after.

Expose this kind of thing to the outside world, and the result will not be good.

As for the outcome of Park Min-young as his girlfriend, the information in Chen Chen's head was not very clear. It seemed that she was just seriously affected and her career as an artist was not completely ended.

It seems that Kang Jong-hyun really has some love for Park Min-young. He did so many dangerous things but didn't let the prosecutor involve Park Min-young.

But no matter what, Chen Chen couldn't accept this kind of thing. An artist who was about to collapse was never his choice.

Previously, Chen made a wrong decision due to insufficient information in his head. Now it is time to correct it.

"The contract is void." Chen Chen tore up the contract in front of her. "C Headquarters will pay a large amount of liquidated damages that are not in the contract as compensation. I'm sorry for wasting Ms. Park Min-young's precious time."

"Why?" Park Min-young thought it was ridiculous, "Just because I have a rich boyfriend?"

"Don't you know what your rich boyfriend is doing?" Chen Chen asked calmly, "Even if you don't know, do you think he is doing a good career, judging from his various performances?"

"..."

Park Min-young couldn't say anything, she knew what Chen Chen said made sense.

Even if other things can be ignored, it can't be a good thing for Lee Seung-ri to spend a lot of money in the nightclub that exposed the shocking news that shocked the whole of South Korea? No one would believe it if I told them!

"That's all. We'll see each other again someday, Miss Park." Chen Chen asked his assistant to come over and see her off. "Send her to the taxi and come back."

Park Min-young left in a daze accompanied by Zhou Xinyu. Everything that happened today made her dazed.

……

At 3 pm, C headquarters officially announced the signing of actress Park Min-young. At 9 pm, Chen Chen came forward to veto the contract, making it invalid.

Now the South Korean Internet has become completely lively, with the number of online users doubling again and again.
