Peninsula: Start with the nephew of the soy sauce bottle

Chapter 138 Tripartite Talks
With the outstanding performance of Girls' Generation's "Oh!" as a real achievement, Park Kyung Wook has also officially gained the attention of two companies, Fool and CJ.

His invitation for tripartite talks was agreed to.

Since Park Kyung Wook did not disclose the topic of this meeting in advance, the two companies except JYP did not know what Park Kyung Wook was planning.

Despite this, the top executives of the two companies still expressed their importance and did not look down on each other because of their age.

In their opinion, Park Jingxu is not a person who likes to make baseless claims.

This time, three large companies in the industry were brought together to discuss very important matters.

So both companies had high-status management in attendance.

The person CJ sent was the vice president of the entertainment department, who was considered the number two person below Li Meijing.

On occasions when Li Meijing was not present, the vice president would appear on his behalf, which could be said to be the royal spokesperson.

As for the silly hat, Li Xiuman personally came to visit, which is not only the reason for the importance.

What's more, Lee Soo Man has always admired Park Kyung Wook, and even invited him to join the company no less than twice.

Although they were all rejected, his love for Park Kyung Wook remained undiminished.

He still firmly believes that Park Kyung Wook is KPOP’s answer for the next decade.

Having Park Kyung-wook join is not just an extra cash cow.

Not to mention his identity as a singer, he is one of the best as a songwriter, actor, and variety show MC and PD.

Basically covers the current landscape of the entertainment industry.

Park Kyung Wook's versatility will lead to new trends - this has already been somewhat reflected.

Among them, pioneering is what Lee Soo Man values ​​most.

As long as he exists, Fool will become the setter of industry standards - and become the object of imitation by other companies.

The temptation brought by this made Li Xiuman unable to stop.

However, Park Jingxu always ignored them and was willing to accompany his old-fashioned uncle to suffer together.

Simply stupid!
JYP cannot provide him with a platform to fully display his abilities.

In Li Xiuman's view, this company has almost nothing but good music.

Park Jin Young has no ambition to expand the territory - this may be wrong. It should be said that Park Jin Young's ambition is limited to selling songs to beautiful countries.

This has resulted in JYP not having the slightest influence in other aspects such as film, television and variety shows.

Although the situation of the idiots is similar, it is definitely better than JYP.

And there is also the willingness to continue investing. Over time, there will definitely be gains.

If Park Kyung Wook joins, the dormant days will be further shortened.

The effect is huge and can be seen by anyone with a discerning eye.

Because he was worried about family ties, he couldn't show his strength 100%. Lee Soo Man felt that this was not what a smart person should do.

Is Park Kyung Wook a smart person?That's for sure.

Perhaps because of his young age, he failed to make the most rational choice regarding his future and family relationships.

This made Lee Soo Man sigh with regret more than once.

When he came this time, he not only wanted to see what Park Jingxu thought, but also wanted to take this opportunity to persuade him. Maybe this kid's mood had changed?
The appearance of CJ made Li Xiuman feel threatened.

Park Kyung Wook and CJ have been working closely together recently, which he noticed.

Whether it's "JYP Kids" or the four consecutive awards at MAMA.

It clearly shows that both parties are in the honeymoon period of cooperation, and their flirting is unabashed.

Is this a sign that Park Kyung Wook is going to fall into CJ’s arms?
Lee Soo Man, who was unsure of the situation, would also have such worries.

As Park Kyung Wook's performance becomes more and more outstanding, more people will realize his unique excellence.

As time goes by, the advantage of early contact will gradually become smaller.

So this meeting also had the intention of testing Park Jingxu.

It is no exaggeration to say that the outcome of this meeting will determine the future strategic development direction of Fool.

If we can get Park Kyung-wook to join us, everything will be fine, and we can just have him as the core to protect us.

If it is really impossible to win Park Jingxu's favor, then he will have to change his policy and achieve close cooperation.

Being an enemy is completely out of Li Xiuman's consideration.

It’s not that I’m so afraid of him, but that Girls’ Generation, a rare affiliate, has a close relationship with Park Kyung Wook, and I’d be sorry if I didn’t take advantage of this unexpected surprise.

Upon hearing the arrival of Li Xiuman, his uncle Park Jinying also hurriedly put down his work and hurried over to attend the meeting.

The meeting location was chosen in JYP’s conference room.

This is Park Kyung Wook's complete home court, and as a neutral venue, the representatives of Fool and CJ will not have any objections.

After everyone arrived, the meeting officially began.

As the sponsor, Park Kyung Wook naturally needs to host the speech.

He got up and looked around. This small meeting room gathered people who could control the discourse power of the music industry.

When he greeted the visitors at the entrance of the company, he was surprised for a while when he first saw it was Li Xiuman.

Unexpectedly, this idiotic leader actually arrived in person.

Although CJ's Li Meijing did not come in person, he sent Park Jingxu's number one general to give Park Jingxu face.

The industry leaders also paid enough attention to a 14-year-old boy - if ordinary people saw such a magical and unrealistic scene, their jaws would definitely be shocked.

Including Park Zhenying who rushed to hear the news, they are all existences that can make the industry tremble three times by stomping their feet.

Because of the identities of the three people, this meeting suddenly became very important.

Park Jingxu did not show any timidity when faced with several people whose identities were too different.

Firstly, he has excellent psychological quality;

Secondly, two of the three people met often, and one of them was his uncle, so he couldn't be nervous at all.

As for the last vice president of CJ, although it was his first time dealing with him, he had already seen from CJ’s actions some time ago that he valued and showed favor to him.

Therefore, psychologically, there will be a high degree of congenital advantage.

Not to mention despising the other party in turn, at least he won't be afraid of CJ's reputation and create pressure.

It can be regarded as being treated with a normal mind.

This will be crucial in the subsequent negotiations.

"I have invited you here today because I have a very important matter to discuss and cooperate with you. In my opinion, if this matter can be successful, it will be beneficial to all of us. Of course this Not everyone can participate in such a great event, and there are probably only a few people in this industry who have the qualifications. And the two are the most suitable candidates I selected from them."

Park Kyung Wook's opening remarks were simple and direct.

There is really no need for him to be mysterious.

Among the four people present, he can be said to have the least experience in business negotiation.

The reason why I am able to sit here as a sponsor is entirely due to my uniqueness and no substitute competitive advantage.

If he wants to play tricks on the other people, let alone whether that is what Park Jingxu is good at, it is very difficult to fool these old foxes.

Rather than betting on this illusory possibility, it is better to directly state the pros and cons, and leave the rest to the judgment of the other party.

And there is a great possibility that this cooperation can be facilitated. The reason is that the three people present have a good impression of him, and there will be no emotional bias.

After listening to Park Kyung Wook's opening remarks, the three of them looked at each other, and then Lee Soo Man spoke with a smile.

The reason why it was him was because the other two had remained silent and had no intention of speaking at all.

"Jingxu, you don't have to deliberately flatter me and Mr. Li (vice president). Just say what you have to say. As for whether we can succeed, it depends on the situation."

"Of course, that's what I had in mind. Because I've been thinking about this idea for a long time, it's too troublesome and sloppy to just rely on dictation. So I prepared a PPT to accompany the explanation."

Park Jingxu sat closest to the projector screen, making it easier for him to explain his plan.

After projecting the laptop screen onto the screen, the content above was clearly displayed in the eyes of the three bosses.

The title of the first page of the PPT reads: "Explanation of PUNCHLINE's business philosophy and development strategy"

Uncle Park Jinying, who had been angry earlier, remained extremely calm. He came here to calm things down for his nephew. Unless Park Jingxu encountered a problem that could not be solved, he would basically not participate in the discussion.

This title stunned both Lee Soo Man and Vice President CJ.

They reacted quickly and immediately thought of a possibility.

This time, Vice President CJ could not remain as deep as before, and he quickly spoke out.

"This title means... is Park Kyung-wook planning to start his own company?"

If this is the case, then Park Jingxu's intention of gathering these people is already obvious.

That is to give up shares in exchange for the protection of large companies. To put it crudely, it means paying protection fees.

Park Jingxu's answer also verified his assumption.

"That's right. I won't tell anyone secretly. I do have the idea of ​​starting a company.

Originally, it was just to solve the problem of establishing a shell company to support my management contract except the record contract.

However, due to some changes - let me leave this point blank and I will explain it later.

Anyway, I have the idea of ​​running the company seriously, so I would like to ask if you are interested in investing? "

"Jingxu, isn't your management contract with JYP? How about being one of our idiots? There's no problem in terms of remuneration, even a token [-]% is no problem, as long as you are willing to join our idiots."

Lee Soo Man did not directly answer Park Kyung Wook's question.

Because the old fox was keenly aware of the worrying point in Park Jingxu's words.

Signing Park Kyung-wook directly is much more useful than investing in Rao Shizi's other company.

With his own feet, he knew that Park Jingxu must have only taken out part of the equity that would not affect his operations. The investment was just to get dividends.

This profit could not be greater than directly recruiting Park Jingxu.

Even if Park Kyung Wook makes big concessions in terms of income from his songs, as long as he can produce more songs for his groups and produce a few more popular variety shows, as long as he runs it well, the economic benefits will be greater than the sales volume of a single person. The income from commercial performances is much greater.

"Sorry, Uncle Li Xiuman, I have no plans to consider options other than running the company for the time being."

Park Jingxu refused on the spot, which made CJ's vice president relieved.

CJ is inclined to maintain the current way of cooperation and does not have a strong desire to bring Park Kyung Wook under its umbrella.

What they value most is Park Jingxu's talent.

Unbridled imagination and unpredictable innovation.

Personal benefits are secondary.

Because their CJ's vision has long been not limited to the gains and losses of a city and a pool, but put it above the overall situation of the industry.

For such a creative genius, CJ knows how to arouse the other party's enthusiasm.

The world is hilarious, all come for profit.

Everyone in the world is benefiting.

Being in the entertainment industry is just for money.

As long as you can give the other party enough money, you can exchange for a steady stream of requests being fulfilled.

And the motivation to make money for yourself is naturally much higher than making money for your immediate boss.

Therefore, CJ never had any intention of signing Park Kyung Wook. Instead, the idea of ​​investing in his company was exactly what they wanted.

In fact, the senior management of their department had already discussed this matter in private meetings.

Even if Park Jingxu doesn't mention it this time, they may take the initiative to mention it after a while.

But since Park Jingxu also had this idea, it saved a lot of effort.

But what Li Xiuman did just now made the vice president a little frightened.

In order to avoid long nights and dreams, he couldn't wait to speak.

"If Park Jingxu xi has the idea of ​​starting a company, of course our CJ will support your idea. I just wonder how many shares you are willing to give in exchange for investment?"

"Don't rush into this yet, Mr. Li, please wait a moment, okay?"

CJ's attitude was somewhat beyond Park Jingxu's expectations.

Even if you know that the other party thinks highly of you, you will be provided with a lot of conveniences.

But he was surprised that he didn't even think about it, and agreed without even knowing the idea in detail.

And it would be too aggressive to directly ask how many shares you are willing to give.

It feels like rushing to give money for fear that he will not accept it.

But he doesn’t have the blood of the CJ Li family or the Samsung Li family, so there’s no need to go to this extent, right?
Worried that there was fraud involved, Park Jingxu did not follow the discussion happily.

Instead, he turned his attention to Li Xiuman.

If he doesn't express his position, it will be difficult for Park Jingxu to feel at ease.

After all, the original plan was to introduce equal checks and balances between the two, and there was a risk of being misappropriated just by taking CJ's money.

Park Kyung Wook also felt helpless about Lee Soo Man.

The other party seemed to have been trying to make him look stupid.

Even if Park Jingxu refused several times, he had no intention of giving up.

The young man didn't understand why Li Xiuman was so persistent.

To be fair, doesn't he know how good Park Kyung-wook is?

But this shouldn’t be the reason why Lee Soo Man doesn’t give up.

A big shot should have the self-esteem of a big shot, and Park Kyung Wook's repeated refusals have already caused him to lose all face.

No matter how good he is, it seems the time has come to give up.

But Lee Soo Man didn't seem to care about this at all, and still took the trouble to extend an olive branch to Park Kyung Wook.

He was so persistent that Park Jingxu even wondered if he was angry.
