Star Media Helmsman

112 stationed in Chungmuro

"...olive9's management report has been reviewed. After on-site inquiries, we believe that the report is highly credible. We have communicated the corresponding acquisition intention a week ago, and requested that it be completed as soon as possible under confidentiality. The purchase and sale agreement, information disclosure document, shareholder agreement, offer agreement, and irrevocable guarantee agreement are here. According to normal circumstances, we should now enter the final acquisition process and issue a statement in the media, but President Song's delay in making a decision really makes It's hard for us to do."

Gu Huan frowned and said, but there was no trace of impatience in his tone, he listened carefully, and there was even a bit of earnestness.Seeing that Song Yizhe was still not moved at all, he couldn't help but sighed, and wanted to curse at him.

olive9 is the largest performing arts production company in South Korea. It has an excellent core team composed of the most experienced people in the film and television and animation production industries. It has rich experience in film and television production management, location construction, and animation production. Designated partner of a major film production company.

Olive9 suffered a huge deficit last year due to its involvement in the film production industry, and its financial situation did not improve until March this year. Many companies sent acquisition intentions. In the end, Shinhan Advertisement won the first place because of sufficient acquisition funds, and the acquisition process was finally completed. Entered this last step.

Gu Huan and Song Yizhe each had several documents in front of them, and as long as they signed, they would be cleared of money and goods.I have been busy for more than a month just to ensure that the numbers and information on these documents today are accurate, but I don't know why Song Yizhe keeps pushing back the date of the final signing.Today is the last day of the validity period of the investigation. If these agreements are not signed, then the acquisition plan will either fail or start all over again.

The tense atmosphere in the meeting room stems from the static and movement of Song Yizhe and Gu Huan. If you observe carefully, you will find that this place is different from the meeting rooms in ordinary film and television dramas. There are a bunch of photographic equipment in the corner of the room, and the meeting room There are also classic anime images and movie posters that olive9 participated in on the walls.The more than ten men in suits present are familiar with these movies. olive9 participated in the production of the war scenes of "Taeguk Flag Flying" and the CG production of "Han River Monster", and led these scenes to become classics on the screen. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is the number one performing arts production company in Korea.

Song Yizhe was still unmoved, as if he couldn't make a fart. A liquidator next to him adjusted his glasses and sweated profusely: "About the 'Dream Concert' and other political projects. We haven’t fully resolved the issue of the production contract. Mr. Gu, you should also know that once the news of olive9’s acquisition is exposed, there will inevitably be problems with these contracts. We are also for your benefit..."

"Our interests?!"

Gu Huan couldn't bear it any longer, and the ears of the people around him were itchy with a yell, "The team of lawyers planning the acquisition, the daily salary of you as a property liquidator, the idleness of a large amount of the company's funds, and us Isn’t all the time lost? This is the last day! Everything in the past today has to start all over again!”

The property liquidator was stunned by the yelling, and he wriggled his lips and couldn't say a word. The lawyers and accountants in suits and leather shoes in the room began to sit on pins and needles, because if the acquisition really failed, their efforts these days would naturally be in vain. up.

Not only movies, olive9 also has a strong production team in concerts and variety shows.Under the outsourcing system, olive9's filming team has "two days, one night" and "infinite challenge" filming contracts in their hands. The production team of this company involves all aspects of the entertainment industry, and has also been recognized by most production companies. , has always been known in the circle for its strength and reputation.

There was silence in the meeting room, but the atmosphere seemed to be on the verge of swords and swords. After venting, Gu Huan was panting heavily, feeling helpless towards Song Yizhe's hobgoblin-like attitude.

"Is President Song short of money?"

A man's voice sounded, flat and without any anger.A group of lawyers and accountants who could walk with their heads held high looked at the man next to Gu Huan. Since the acquisition, this man seemed to be Gu Huan's assistant, but Gu Huan's attitude towards him seemed to be different.

Don't ask what you shouldn't ask, don't tell what shouldn't be said, for these veterans in the workplace, their duty is the first, so this man's position has always been mysterious, until he made such an astonishing sentence now .

Song Yizhe raised his head, looked at this unattractive man, and asked blankly, "What do you think?"

"Lack, very lack." Lin Weiran's answer was particularly concise.

'Heh', Song Yizhe suddenly chuckled, revealing the wrinkles on his forehead, looking very tired.He picked up the pen in front of him and fiddled with it in his hand, making everyone in the room feel heartbroken.They looked at Song Yizhe and then at Lin Weiran, already having expectations for him in their hearts.

"Does Mr. Lin care about finance?"

"Well, I'm a finance major. Although I'm doing a different job now, I still care a little bit."

"Does Mr. Lin think there is still a need for investment in the United States? I have a lot of assets in the United States."

The two started chatting casually, which had nothing to do with the subject of the acquisition, but the lawyers and accountants present were all elated.

What is an acquisition?It's business!

What is business?It's an exchange!

Whether it is chatting or negotiating, as long as there is not only one party speaking, then the business will be done.They expected Lin Weiran to say something nice, at least to make Song Yizhe happy, and let him sign it quickly.

"No." Lin Weiran's answer was still simple, but it made the hearts of the group of people at the scene uneasy.

"Oh? Then Mr. Lin, please continue to talk about it."

"Before the collapse of Bear Stearns, the US rating agency gave a rating of 3a. As a result, Bear Stearns announced its bankruptcy the next day, and its stock price plummeted to 2.8 US dollars. This proves that the rating given by the US rating agency is no longer credible. And The number of 3a-level securities they evaluate is [-] times that of five years ago, and the number of real estate is nine times. Ratings are the financial image and weather vane of the United States. Now that this image has collapsed, I think the US market is no longer worth investing in.”

After talking about his own opinions, Lin Weiran ignored Song Yizhe's darkening gaze, and continued: "President Song is short of money, but he has a lot of money. Even if you sell olive9, it may not be able to fill your loopholes, so you are now very concerned about this company. There are only two options, either hold it and die with you, or throw it out and let it live."

Exciting, blatantly exciting, the news of Song Yizhe's failure to invest in the United States had already been investigated beforehand. If not, with the strength of olive9, the loss of two films would not be such that they would be sold as a whole. Someone in the conference room looked at Lin Weiran's gaze already looked like he was looking at a lunatic, as if he deliberately screwed up the acquisition.

There was a soft sound of 'Bo', which fell like thunder in the ears of everyone in the conference room. Song Yizhe pulled out the pen under everyone's astonished eyes. They were all dumbfounded in shock.

Gu Huan has not made Song Yizhe seem willing to sign at all these days, but now Song Yizhe is just chatting with this person, so he signed it?

"It was called "Honmachi-dori" when Japan was colonized. Since then, my father often came here to watch movies. After that, it was called "Chungmuro", and my father came here to make movies. I don't know Mr. Lim Do you know about 'Chun Xiang Biography', when that movie was filmed, it was my father who took the camera..."

Song Yizhe chatted while signing his name on the contract. After signing one copy, the analyst beside him immediately handed him another copy. Lin Weiran knew that the No. 9 performing arts production company in Korea, now called olive[-], was just a small It took decades for the small studio to grow to its current scale.

"...'Taegeuk Flag Flying', 'Silmido Island', 'Hangang Monster', Korean film productions always require us to help. Last year I fulfilled my father's last wish for the first time and used this company to produce two films. Movie, although I lost money, I am also very happy..."

After signing for 3 minutes, Song Yizhe also spoke for 3 minutes. He always had a faint smile on his face. He waited for each contract to be stamped before raising his head.

"I know that Shinhan bought us not because we already have the ability to produce movies on our own, but because of our other businesses in the industry and a mature shooting team. But I still have one thing I want to ask Lim to produce, I don't know you Can you agree?"

"Please tell me." Lin Weiran nodded slightly and sat upright.

"If possible, olive9, please use him to make a blockbuster movie." Song Yizhe's tone was sincere, perhaps because it was too sincere, this sentence made him say it as if it was his last words.

Lin Weiran didn't think about it, and said seriously: "I'm sorry, I'm just the person in charge of this acquisition. Olive9's management company has not yet been decided, and the development depends on the company's policy."

Song Yizhe lowered his head and chuckled. After a while, he couldn't hide his regret and said, "Well, my request is too much."

He stood up and stretched out his hand to Lin Weiran. Gu Huan, who had been beating his life to death these days, was just left aside by him.Lin Weiran naturally also stood up, and the two of them clasped their hands together, which made everyone in the room relieved.

A hammer is fixed.

Although Lin Weiran's method is weird, the result is the most important.

After the contract was completed, the lawyers and accountants in the room wanted to applaud, but because of Song Yizhe, they finally suppressed their excitement.

On Zhongwu Road, Lin Weiran and Gu Huan were able to say a few words after sending the lawyers into the car.

"Actually, it's nothing special. I checked a lot of information in the past few days and found that cj's conditions are much better than ours, but because cj's own production team is very good, so I just need olive9's reputation and reputation in the industry. If CJ is allowed to acquire, most of the people here will be dismissed, the reason why Song Yizhe let us acquire is very simple, didn't we promise the interests of employees?"

Hearing Lin Weiran explain the reason, Gu Huan nodded, and asked again: "Then what did you tell him about the United States? He lost money on his real estate investment in the United States and needed a large amount of money to fill it in. Who in this circle doesn't know ? You said that the United States no longer has investment value for the time being, doesn’t it mean that he is dead?”

"It's because he is doomed. People who are about to drown will grab everything around them, whether it's people or objects. I don't know how much Song Yizhe has lost. Anyway, judging by his appearance, an olive9 can't save him." Lin Weiran turned her head. Taking a look, olive9's gold-plated plaque is shining in the afternoon sun. The filming team of "The Birth of a Family" was set up by Han Weiyi, and it was confirmed that they are in this production company that is good at filming. Now it seems that he and this This company really has some fate.

Today is not a rest day, it is afternoon, but Chungmuro ​​Road is still bustling. If America has Hollywood, then South Korea has Chungmuro ​​Road. Although the scale of the two is different, the symbolic meaning is exactly the same.

Lin Weiran took a breath, and said slowly: "The average production cost of each Korean film is 25 billion. Last year, 110 films were released, and the total production cost was 750 billion. But do you know how much economic benefits it brings? Conservative estimates There are eight trillion, which is a typical four-two dial."

Gu Huan smacked his mouth and said, "Four or two? Hey, you should know what the company is buying it for. Blind investment and expansion lead to the collapse of the industrial chain, and it won't be able to stay when the time comes, and it is destined to be liquidated."

Indeed, the acquisition of olive9 is an important part of Shinhan’s loss of 700 billion won. If it goes according to plan, this company will be split and sold within the next five months due to Shinhan’s loss.Being in the entertainment industry, Lin Weiran naturally knows what Chungmuro ​​means to Korean actors.

Looking at the bronzing artwork, Lin Weiran, who was already standing on Zhongwu Road, squinted his eyes. Song Yizhe, Liu Jae-seok, Kim Soo-ro, and even Jung Eun-na, where did their enthusiasm and dreams for production come from? Lin Weiran who is here It seems to be a bit empathetic.
