After becoming the son of the boss [entertainment circle]

Due to the lack of time, Li Xianyin still couldn't go on vacation immediately, not only that, but also because he had to explain some things to Jin Zhenjing face to face before leaving, so he simply ran to Gwangju.

Kim Jeong-kyung has been stationed in Gwangju for the past two weeks. In addition to resort hotels, he is also considering moving S.MRE's headquarters nearby, so he spent a long time on site inspection.

It is really a long time before SM's new building is completed, and the building that is expected to be more than [-] floors seems to be a bit insufficient. In order to better work, it is normal to move the headquarters out separately.

Anyway, since S.MRE was acquired, it has been working in the original old building. The so-called "independence" is not so worthy of the name. After all, it has never been attached to SM and other subsidiaries. It's just that after the headquarters moved to Gwangju, it seems to outsiders There is a feeling of "clearing the relationship", and a stronger sense of independence.

It's not that Kim Jeong-kyung doesn't want to stay in the capital where the flow of people and popularity is relatively strong, it's just that the land price in Seoul is much more expensive than other areas, sometimes even doubled!

No matter how you think about it, it is more cost-effective to build a new building while the resort hotel is breaking ground. If the floor is not high, it can be renovated and lived in in a few months. Except for the employees who have adapted to life in the Seoul area, there may be some negative effects. In addition to the response, the overall cost performance is very high.

The proposal of the Gwangju headquarters was personally approved by Li Xianyin. At that time, he didn't think too much about it. He only considered it from the commercial aspect. Now when he stands on the land near the sea again, the salty and wet sea breeze rarely makes him I realized my decision was wrong.

It can be said that many of his current unsatisfactory conditions started from the trip to Gwangju. Without the anaphylactic shock, his physical and mental health would be much better—at least on the surface—so that he began to be concerned about Gwangju. The strong sea breeze produced a weak sense of repulsion, and I didn't even want to take a look at the scenic spots I had seen last time, so I went directly to the construction site by detour.

The construction of the resort hotel is very slow, and it is still in the foundation stage. The engineer said that it is too close to the sea, and the foundation work must be done well enough to build up, otherwise problems will occur after a long time.

How long this "long time" is remains to be determined. Li Xianyin does not like this kind of personal experience-based argument that cannot be determined at all.

And this person didn't say that before taking over the project, and promised to complete the construction of all the main buildings in half a year. Now it seems that the first month is already very fast. It is obviously a well-known team, and they are full of trains. I don't know what to think, if it wasn't for S.MRE's own construction team being transferred to build SM's new building and staff quarters, it would really be out of their turn to take up the resort hotel case.

Fortunately, the construction period is very loose, and S.MRE’s investment is not limited to resort hotels. No one pointed to the opening of the hotel as soon as possible to make money. They all said that a landmark should be built, and it must not be a tofu project, otherwise Jin Zhenjing would not have to see the sky run this way.

As the saying goes, don't be afraid of spending money, just be afraid of throwing it all into the water!

Now that he arrived at the place, Li Xianyin also put on his hard hat, and circled twice around the hotel construction site, which is completely unsightly and has been seen once before. Even with Jin Zhenjing explaining it, it is still quite meaningless.

"We plan to use a piece of land behind the hotel as the construction site for the headquarters building, which will be separated by a fence."

The place where Jin Zhenjing pointed was still a piece of flat land, and there was no trace of construction. Li Xianyin didn't want to complain about how slow the progress of the whole project was. The excessive sea breeze made him a little uncomfortable. Now he just wants to return to a A place where fishing boats in the distance cannot be seen and the sea breeze is blocked.

Otherwise, if he stayed for a while, he would have remembered all the flavors of Japanese food he ate in his previous life, it was disgusting.

Jin Zhenjing also remembers the unpleasant experience last time. He has been paying attention to the expression of his boss since the meeting. Seeing that he has not even smiled for such a long time, he is unavoidable in his heart. There is no need for Li Xianyin to explain. I immediately called a car to go to downtown Gwangju. I always felt that the situation might not be so good if I stayed any longer.

Because he will be stationed in Gwangju for a long time in the future, Jin Zhenjing rented a short four-story building as a temporary office. It's more like a base for entertainment or arts businesses than a real estate company.

It is relatively normal to go inside, after all, it is a temporary base, except for the place that is too uncomfortable, there is basically no decoration, and the real customers and partners of S.MRE will not come here, as long as they can work, A decent environment is not required.

Li Xian was stunned for a while because he slumped on the sofa, and after blowing the sea breeze for so long, he was so dazed that he couldn't think of how to explain himself.

"What's the date today?"

Jin Zhenjing, who had just served the tea, responded without hesitation: "On August [-]th, Chairman Li just left for Germany yesterday." It seemed that he wanted to give the most accurate indicators, and then added: "Now It's three-twelve in the afternoon."

After finishing speaking, seeing his boss looking like he was thinking, he lowered his head and continued to make afternoon tea quietly.

He doesn't dare to pass on any food that needs to be fed to the boss now, and the posture of even asking about the ingredients of the pastry makes Wu Zhibin, who is a life assistant, feel scared, as if Li Xianyin may be in danger if he eats anything casually like.

After the afternoon tea was served, Li Xianyin also cleared up the timeline, "I may not be in Korea for the last two or three months, so you can decide by yourself if you have any small decisions within S.MRE. Don't look for me if it's nothing serious. In addition, no matter who becomes the new president of SM headquarters in the future, superficial obedience is enough. You can make up your own mind or let me decide. The other party gave up asking."

S.MRE is a subsidiary wholly owned by Lee Hyun-yin, even if he is not in Korea, this established fact will not change, and after going through a series of events in his previous life, he now attaches great importance to management rights. It is impossible to leave the opportunity for others to slowly erode his personal business.

"Remember, no matter who that person is, even if he is my father! It's not a reason for you to treat him differently."

Jin Zhenjing can be regarded as a person who can carry his weight clearly, but Li Xianyin has explained this point more than once. He doesn't want to be distracted and worry about the fire in the backyard while traveling and experiencing life.

"Also, at the end of this month, LG Real Estate will hold a press conference on the planning of the commercial street. At that time, several investors will be present to cut the ribbon. I will not go. You can decide whether to send people or go by yourself. "

Li Xianyin cooperated with LG Real Estate to develop a commercial street plan before. The money was shared equally by the three investors, but the resources, manpower and material resources were all resolved by LG. After allocating the funds for the first two phases, he has been busy. , apart from keeping an eye on the finances of this project and reporting regularly, I haven't paid attention to the progress of the project for a long time.

Last week, when LG said that it would hold a completion conference at the end of the month, Li Xianyin was really shocked. Look at his efficiency!The speed of construction is almost as good as flying!

You must know that it was already early April when the project was officially approved, and it took less than four months to complete the entire first phase of construction. This is not just a matter of building a building, but a small half of the street!

If he hadn't read the final inspection report, he would have even suspected that it was a tofu project. Four months, day and night, would be enough to build an ordinary building with no more than ten floors.

Of course, the construction speed of a building is affected by many aspects. Just some special design drawings and different materials can also cause huge differences in construction speed. It can only be compared with standardized conditions. LG’s construction team Not only is it efficient, but it is also really trying its best.

Obviously, all the buildings in this development project are likely to be constructed at the same time, so as to ensure that the target construction can be completed in the shortest possible time.

This is also related to the lack of large-scale high-end department stores and high-rise buildings in the development of the first phase. The main merchants in the first phase are those famous gourmet restaurants, cheap chain stores, small playgrounds, etc. that ordinary people can afford and are popular. The type that young people like.

In other words, the small half of the street in the first phase is used to accumulate popularity for the second or even third phase, and the tallest building is only four floors. The overall project volume is not large, and it cannot be compared with a resort hotel.

For a long time, LG has claimed that they are the ones who pay the most in the planning of the commercial street, and other investors are the younger brothers who follow behind. Because they promised to cooperate with LG to build their strong image at first, Li Xianyin During the development process with another investor, they basically did not take the lead, allowing LG to brag all over the world.

But after such a long time, this bullshit is too much, and the public who bought the hot search should have a rebellious mentality, and as the big brother in name, it seems that they are stingy by not showing up to the younger brothers, so there is a completion announcement At the meeting, other investors were invited to cut the ribbon together.

When the person in charge called to invite him, he didn't want to be too enthusiastic. He said that even the president of LG Real Estate could not go, but he couldn't be absent. It was just because he was greedy for his enthusiasm that had not dissipated.

To put it bluntly, with his name on the front, it seems that even the hot searches bought with money seem a lot more real.

It's a pity that the other party is doomed to be disappointed. He doesn't want to show his face to participate in any ribbon-cutting now. Apart from providing first-hand materials to the fan station, it is basically meaningless.

And he didn't know which country he was in at that time, a ribbon cutting in a commercial street was not attractive enough for him to be a trapeze artist.

"When you go to participate in the ribbon-cutting, some people may make things difficult for you. Most of them are LG-affiliated real estate developers who failed to get cooperation opportunities in this resort hotel project. If necessary, they can fight back directly."

The resort hotel project S.MRE has cooperated with some real estate developers, and everyone can earn money together, and then share the account according to the share ratio.

However, one thing rarely satisfies everyone. Li Xianyin will not allow too many people to enter the market to divide up the shares. The big head must be in his own hands. Naturally, not all businessmen who exude cooperation intentions can become him. business partner.

This is a very normal phenomenon. It is the right of most independent enterprises to choose their partners independently. Those who are rejected have no right to blame others. Are you the king of heaven?Still not allowing others to refuse?

But miraculous things happen every day, and some people's brain circuits are really different from ordinary people.

Just because he cooperated with LG Real Estate to develop the commercial street project, those small and medium-sized real estate developers who have been dependent on LG for a long time think that S.MRE is a real little brother like them, and they have been deeply brainwashed by those bragging news representative population.

And they also feel good about themselves, thinking that S.MRE has cooperated with LG later, and the closeness to LG, the "main family", must be lower than them. , why should we give them the cooperation opportunity of the resort hotel?

However, in fact, after understanding the thinking of this group of people, Li Xianyin's normal logic was almost led astray by them.

How self-righteous this must be to have an idea!

You are willing to be younger brothers, don't drag others along!If you still integrate into the circle, you can't get any benefits from this kind of circle, who wants to join the circle that only counts on money from the newcomer's pocket!

It was because of Li Xianyin's non-cooperation that this group of people actually got angry. They stumbled twice secretly and stopped temporarily after being warned. Jin Zhenjing is also very clear about some of the process.

As for the ribbon-cutting ceremony, LG Real Estate has prepared a lot. The presidents of the small and medium-sized affiliated companies will come at that time. Li Xian is afraid that they will be unwilling and cause trouble at that time, so he will explain it now.

This is really not a needless worry. Usually, people say that peace is the most important thing in business, and neither party can make more money until they die. If you don't cooperate once, you won't plan to cooperate for the rest of your life. It is not surprising that such a short-sighted person will do something weird.

"There are a lot of media at the press conference. If you don't follow their ways, it will be very troublesome to clarify after public opinion is created."

Seeing Kim Jung Kyung nodding his head in understanding, Lee Hyun Yin changed the topic to his secretary office in SM, "Oh Ji Bin will leave Korea with me, his two assistants have just been transferred, one of them will turn around and follow You, the other one who was transferred to the training department as the deputy head, will occasionally need your help, it will depend on the situation, if you think it is not easy for you to intervene in his request for help, then call Wu Zhibin."

The so-called training department is a new department set up by Lee Hyun Yin in SM, its main function is to train some old employees who have value for change. The manager training he has been carrying out since he took office is mainly operated by this department.

To put it bluntly, this is a place to instill his management ideas. Even if Lao Li returns, Li Xianyin will try his best to persuade the other party to keep this department. The company reform that has already started will continue for a period of time in the future. go down.

It's just that he can't guarantee how much effect this leaderless reform will have in the end, and it is possible that it will go completely wrong. Let Jin Zhenjing help to see that it is the limit that can be done without others.

To be honest, this limit is useless most of the time. Once the top management is changed, the atmosphere of the whole company will change drastically. After all, Kim Jung-kyung is an "outsider" in the SM headquarters, and he can't get involved in many things.

So Li Xianyin just mentioned this incident, from the moment he decided to resign, he was already ready for some laboriously planned changes to be beaten back to the original, you can't have it both ways, Since he wanted temporary freedom, he had to give up something.

It’s a pity, it’s still a pity, if the reform continues according to the same path, SM will definitely become the benchmark of the Korean entertainment industry, and become the most special one. That should be the dream of many people in the industry, and it is also the model that Lee Hyun-yin himself would like .

But he will not hesitate to bind himself because of this pity. There are so many pity things in this world. If everything that can be saved has to be saved, the whole life is probably better than being scratched by a cat. The ball of yarn is still messy.

"Also, last time I gave you a China Atlas and a European and American Atlas, you must pay close attention to the plots circled with marker pens. When the financial crisis breaks out next year, the prices of some plots will plummet in advance , you must sell quickly, you don’t have to hesitate to wait for the lowest price. When this kind of crisis occurs, you don’t even know when the lowest price will be. If the drop exceeds half, you will immediately intervene and start the buying process..."

Speaking of this, Jin Zhenjing, who had been silent all this time, finally couldn't help interjecting, "President nim, will there really be a financial crisis next year?"

As early as a few months ago, Li Xianyin talked about the financial crisis when he was on the show, but at that time, both professionals and ordinary people took his words as a joke, including Jin Zhenjing, who didn't take it too seriously.

Who would have thought that the president of his own company would be so tough, and when there was no news from the outside world, he would actually circle all the plots that he wanted to take advantage of to rob and buy, and these plots were even scattered in different countries all over the world!

With such a large amount of work, I don't know how long he has been planning it.

If the president's expression and tone were not too serious when he spoke, he even thought the other party was joking.

"The profit of the New Century Financial Corporation in the third quarter of this year is already very bad. If this continues, they will definitely lose money in the fourth quarter, and they will go bankrupt if they can't make it through the first quarter of next year. Do you know what this means?"

The real estate market in the United States is currently in a serious bubble. Since 2000, house prices have risen by a terrifying 80% on average. In layman’s terms, the prices are inflated. Many people who could afford houses before can’t afford them now. This is why People who buy houses have to take out loans to buy houses. This is the same situation in countries such as China and Thailand today.

Moreover, the financial derivatives in the United States are too developed. Lehman Brothers saw the opportunity of rising housing prices and turned mortgages into securities. Buying such securities in Hong Kong City can be purchased at a minimum of 4 Hong Kong dollars. The trend of loans is getting bigger and bigger. More and more people will buy securities. At this time, many people still think that this is a safe and correct financial product.

The boom in real estate has made today’s U.S. economy look particularly good, but it also conceals its own problems. In fact, after the bubble environment emerged, a large amount of overseas hot money poured into the U.S., which has already impacted the local manufacturing industry and out-of-control the unemployment population. Especially with the rise of China's manufacturing industry, the United States' market share in the world has declined sharply, and social and financial hidden dangers have become increasingly serious.

The income of some local people was forced to decrease due to various reasons of the appeal, but because of the house or other factors, the debts on them became more and more. Many people had no choice but to carry out long-term borrowings, so that they fell into the trap And when that "Western Wall" was no longer willing to lend them money, it was obvious that part of the money was not paid.

That's how the credit crisis was born.

Of course, this is only a very popular explanation, which also involves leverage and many financial factors, but the cause of the crisis is the collapse of subprime housing credit.

The New Century Financial Corporation of the United States is the second largest subprime mortgage company in the United States. Since the third quarter of this year, its financial report has not been optimistic. It will enter a state of financial crisis in February, and finally declare bankruptcy in early April, and lay off 07% of its employees.

Although Jin Zhenjing is not a financial major, he still knows what this means.

If the new century is really on the verge of collapse as predicted by Li Xianyin, it will definitely be big news in the financial world, and it will be a catastrophic early warning enough to cause panic for many people.

And that also means that the president's next plan still has a high success rate.

As soon as he thinks of this, Jin Zhenjing's heart will beat faster, and he can't restrain his inner excitement at all. If digging holes for CJ and Samsung can only be done secretly, then this plan will definitely make them famous!

"You'll know when the time comes. When spring starts next year, there will be a lot of bankrupt financial institutions. Even famous banks may not be able to withstand this financial crisis."

Li Xianyin said very indifferently. Although the country has always said that it was the financial crisis in 08, in fact, since 07, countless banks in the United States and even European countries have been affected. But at that time, everyone thought that sub-credit was controllable. They can beat the market, and they can also beat the law.

As it turns out, they can't beat anything.

Even France's largest bank, BNP Paribas, had no choice but to freeze three of its funds with serious losses in August 07, and these funds had invested in US sub-credit bonds. America transitions to the whole world.

Asia is a region that was affected relatively late, but the severity of the "disaster" is not low at all. Japan's nine major banks directly lost more than one trillion yen in the crisis, and house prices all fell to varying degrees. Japan and South Korea The capitals Tokyo and Seoul have fallen the most, and in serious places, the price has been halved within three price changes.

Even Huaxia, which was in its developing stage, was affected by the financial crisis. The rapidly expanding real estate industry quickly fell to the level of a few years ago. The impact of the attack is not serious, at least not as deadly as next door Thailand.

"This is a worldwide crisis. It is impossible for the United States to come out and end the situation now. No one can stop the general trend." Li Xianyin said so and smiled at Jin Zhenjing, "Since we can't stop it, it's better to earn more. Money, if we don’t take it, others will take it away.”

In the eyes of most people, the financial crisis is a disaster, a complete catastrophe. Countless people have plummeted in value and become impoverished overnight, but matter is conserved. Although the concept of conservation in the financial world is difficult to calculate, those who evaporate The money must have gone somewhere else, it won't just disappear.

In other words, someone actually made money in this crisis.

Although this seems to imply making money for the people, in this kind of financial crisis, the bottom retail investors are not worth being targeted at all. Li Xianyin is targeting investment banks and fund organizations that are about to go bankrupt. Well, this is a good opportunity to make money.

Because the relationship is so important, he plans to do this part himself. Jin Zhenjing is responsible for purchasing the land he likes. Only when two people have a clear division of labor can they work more efficiently. This plan is the only job he does when he travels. It just happens. The workload does not make him too tired.

Kim Jeong-kyung usually doesn't feel embarrassed at all because of weird money-making opportunities, but now it's rare that he can't answer under the overly taken-for-granted eyes of the president.

Whenever he feels that the president is gentle and humane, this person will always show a side that is extremely keen on capital accumulation, and remind him truly that human feelings are only suitable for talking about work, and During office hours, there's just money talk without heat.

Regarding the worldwide crisis that will come soon, Li Xianyin still has some things to explain. He hoped that Jin Zhenjing could make all the preparations in detail during the two or three months when he went out to meditate, but he has not yet When he opened his mouth, the phone on the desk rang, and it was Wu Zhibin calling.

"President Nim, Donghae's father's condition deteriorated this afternoon, and he is being rescued in the operating room, but the doctor said... let the family prepare for the worst."

This kind of deja vu brought Li Xianyin back to a few months ago, when Wu Zhibin called him to inform Donghai of his father's condition, but the meaning was completely different.

If you still call like this after you have already been notified once, the situation should be critical to a certain extent, maybe... it may be the last time a critical illness warning is issued.

"Donghae probably won't be returning to Seoul today. The next two days are crucial. If the situation is not good, the chance to see him for the last time may be just around the corner."

Wu Zhibin’s statement is quite fluent. Before he came to SM, he didn’t pursue stars at all. The regret in his tone was only the respect for life, and the emotion and regret for the loss of his father to those around him. He didn’t feel the same way as fans. A sad look.

Li Xianyin paused for a while, opened his mouth but didn't know what to say, after Wu Zhibin called out in doubt, he subconsciously replied: "I see."

This reaction was a bit strange, similar to his reaction last time, even the words he said were similar.

But Li Xianyin really didn't know how he should react. Since he knew the news, he had been deliberately avoiding it, so that he still doesn't know what kind of disease Donghai's father is suffering from.

Extremely afraid of death is his current state. Anything that comes into close contact with death is rejected by him. He himself has stolen his life from the hand of death. There is an indescribable sense of strangeness.

From the bottom of his heart, he hoped that Donghai's father could escape, but if it really got to the point that everyone didn't want to see, he even hesitated whether to attend the other party's funeral.

To be honest, after traveling through time, he hated things that looked like coffins and urns from the bottom of his heart. It is not sure whether the funeral will have a negative impact on his condition, but Mokpo, Donghae’s hometown, is very close to Gwangju. In the past, it only took half an hour to an hour, and everyone else was here, and he really felt uncomfortable if he didn't go there.

Under such a mess of thoughts, Li Xianyin who hung up the phone couldn't speak coherently when explaining things. Fortunately, Jin Zhenjing's understanding ability is very good, and he ignored his boss's abnormality quite winkingly, so that Today's conversation ended successfully.

Of course Li Xianyin lived in Gwangju tonight. Before going to bed, he was still thinking about Donghae’s father, but all his thoughts had no logic. I can't remember anything.

Because of this, he tossed and turned on the bed until one or two o'clock before he fell asleep, and when he was about to feel a little drowsy, a burst of sudden phone ringing suddenly clamored in the quiet midnight, which scared Li Xianyin into a jolt.

It's Wu Zhibin's number again.

Li Xian was holding his mobile phone, so he didn't connect right away, and it was already 03:30 in the morning. Calling him at this time always felt that it was not a good thing.

Combined with the call in the afternoon, he already had some bad thoughts in his heart, and his inner emotions made him want to refuse to answer, but he finally pressed the green button.

In the matter of life and death, after all, I still can't be willful.
