The penniless son of the penniless ...

Chapter 340 The Second Trainee Selection Competition

Fortunately, SM Entertainment anticipated that the number of applicants for this audition would be higher than last year, and arranged a number of staff to maintain order, so that no unexpected incidents occurred on the scene.

However, as the time for the auditions drew closer, SM's security personnel felt the strain. Looking at the thousands of people outside, they quickly reported the situation to their superiors and sought support.

When President Li Xiuman received the news and realized that the number of people coming far exceeded their expectations, he acted decisively and personally called the Black Panther Security Company, hoping to get support from them.

He had received news from Comet Capital before that Chairman Zhang Junfeng and a delegation from Avex Music Japan would be present to observe the trainee selection competition. If the scene was in chaos and something went wrong, he, as the president of the company, would be embarrassed abroad, so this kind of thing must not happen!
Fortunately, Jin Youdao, who had received special instructions from Zhang Junfeng before, was also very concerned about supporting SM Entertainment. He quickly asked his subordinates to notify the elite security personnel below to arrive at SM within a quarter of an hour to help maintain order at the scene.

Jin Youdao thought of what Li Xiuman had just said about the big boss Zhang Junfeng who would be there in person, and he changed his mind at the last minute. He planned to go with the company's security personnel who were going to provide support.

……

In the endless crowd, a young brother and sister looked at the posters and information sheets in their hands, each with different emotions.

"Shunxu oppa, come on! You will definitely be selected to become a trainee of SM Entertainment!" A pretty girl looked at her brother Quan Shunxu who was still in a nervous state, and isolated herself with a smile.

Looking at his well-behaved and sensible sister, Quan Shunxu smiled and touched her head, "Oppa will work hard! When you become a trainee, Oppa will take you to a feast~!"

Hearing that her brother was willing to treat her to a big meal, Quan Baoer, who was originally comforting her brother, was full of joy on her face. It turned out that accompanying her doting brother to participate in the selection competition would definitely have benefits, hehehe!
Although their family conditions were not bad, their parents' work situation was not going well. Affected by the domestic environment, it was not easy to avoid layoffs and just have a pay cut. With the decrease in income, their family's food standard also declined significantly.

……

"...Baoer, wipe your saliva, it's about to flow out..." When Quan Shunxu saw his sister's eyes light up when she heard about having a big meal, his originally nervous mood improved a lot, and he was even in the mood to tease her.

"Ah? No way... Oppa you lied to me~! Humph——!" After coming back to her senses, Quan Baoer heard herself drooling because of her wild thoughts at this moment. Feeling embarrassed, she hurriedly tried to wipe it off, but found that it was not as her brother said. Quan Baoer realized belatedly that she had been deceived!

However, Quan Shunxu didn't feel any guilt for lying and kept laughing. This made Quan Baoer very angry. She waved her delicate little fists and hit Quan Shunxu's arms frequently.

The people around them shook their heads helplessly at the siblings playing around. They were really thick-skinned. They were still in the mood to do other things at this time. With so many people signing up, who could guarantee that they would be selected? However, no one would have thought that this little girl whose eyes lit up and who could hardly walk when she heard about a big meal would become the biggest dark horse in this SM Entertainment trainee selection competition, and was even accepted as a disciple by the president, Li Xiuman. It was a quick success!
……

At 9 o'clock in the morning, not long after Zhang Junfeng and his group arrived at SM Entertainment, a delegation from Avex Music also arrived.

Seeing the unusually lively scene, Matsuura Shengren and his party were quite shocked. They had never thought that an entertainment company would hold such a large-scale trainee selection competition, and there would even be thousands of young people signing up for the selection competition. This... This is simply incredible!
You have to know that they still use the traditional model of talent scouts to discover young people with potential to join the company for training. The reason why the selection method is so different is mainly because Avex Music Company does not have enough funds to hold such a selection competition and try to catch all the talented young people!

……

Just as they were marveling at the generosity of SM Entertainment, the popular HOT and Yearn.ff groups, which had been on standby for a long time, took the stage to perform to warm up for this audition.

This move also made the young people at the scene very excited! If they successfully become trainees of SM Entertainment, maybe they will be among the people who are the center of attention when they perform on stage in the future!
Zhang Junfeng glanced at the shocked Matsuura Shengren and others sitting next to him, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face. Although he was a little jealous of the future nine divas of Avex Music, based on the current situation, his own SM Entertainment also had some good candidates.

They could take this opportunity to warn the top executives of Matsuura Shengren and Avex Music, and let them know that with the full support of Comet Capital, the future would be even brighter! Besides Comet Capital, there would be no other generous financial institution willing to invest a lot of money and various resources in an entertainment company.

Li Xiuman, who had received a hint from Zhang Junfeng a long time ago, also took advantage of the opportunity to introduce to Matsuura Shengren the various luxurious facilities of SM Entertainment, the professional teaching team, and the various notices and endorsements they received, which made the representatives of Avex Music very envious.

……

After hearing about the luxurious equipment and professional teaching team described by Li Xiuman, Matsuura Shengren, the president of Avex Music, quickly came up with the idea of ​​strengthening cooperation with SM Entertainment and borrowing their training resources. After all, the equipment and professional teachers who guide singers and artists in his own music company are like the difference between a revolver and an AK47 compared to those in SM Entertainment!

However, Avex Music is still just an entertainment company in Japan and has no connection with the other party. If they rashly make such a request, it will most likely be rejected by the other party.

After all, these companies are not doing charity. In addition, this is the first time the two sides have met, and there has been no exchange of interests before. How can they allow others to use their resources for free?
