After his mood calmed down, Kim Jong Kook also started talking.
"Director, you are too young. Aren't you a student?"
Xiao Qian nodded, and what he said almost made Jin Zhongguo angry.
"Yes, I am a student, now in the fourth grade of elementary school."
Jin Jongguo coughed for a long time, and his face turned red. He finally stopped and stared blankly at the little man behind the desk, only in amazement.
"Director Min, can you tell me how you became a director?"
Obviously, in Jin Zhongguo's view, Xiao Qian's ability to hold such a position should be due to his family connections.
Xiao Qian laughed, but what he said made him vomit blood even more.
"It's very simple. When President Lee Soo Man's business encountered difficulties, I provided him with funds, so I became a shareholder of the company."
Kim Jong Kook burst into tears and almost doubted his life.
If it's so simple, why am I a little-known trainee and you are a director?
Xiao Qian had no time to analyze Jin Zhongguo's heart and entered the stage of substantial communication.
"Originally, the company's assessment eliminated you. It was me who made the decision and let you enter the company."
This was the first time that Kim Jong Kook knew the inside story, and he couldn't help but be surprised.
"Why did you eliminate me? Is it because of my talent?"
Xiao Qian didn't say anything, she just raised her hand and moved it up and down in front of her face, which made Jin Zhongguo smoke.
"Ah, what does this person look like? He was given to him by his parents. What can I do?"
Xiao Qian poured him another cup of tea and comforted him: "Of course it's not your fault, but it's not the company's fault either. The company is going to do a project for an idol singer, and the face is the focus of the inspection."
Kim Jong Kook became dejected and uncontrollably sad.
"In that case, director, why did you sign me in? I can't debut anyway."
Xiao Qian smiled gently.
"Don't worry, listen to me. Although the company feels that your conditions are not enough to debut, it highly recognizes your strength and talent. It just so happened that I started a new label outside the company. Also
That is to say, you are actually the talent I focus on building. Although you cannot debut as a singer of SM Company in the future, you can become an artist under my label, do you understand?"
With twists and turns, Kim Jong-Kuo was suddenly pleasantly surprised.
"Director, do I still have a chance?"
Xiao Qian smiled and said: "Now you understand why you train with the people in the debut group, right? My label is still in the preparation stage, so I have temporarily borrowed the company's resources to train you. You just need to remember
, your debut prospects are very bright, do you understand?"
Jin Jongguo stood up quickly, his attitude was extremely sincere.
"Thank you, director, for your training. I will work hard."
Ordinary people in South Korea don't have many opportunities to get ahead, and there are no special channels. Becoming an artist is almost the only way to cross class.
Now Xiao Qian gave Jin Zhongguo a chance and did not hesitate to reinvent his benefactor. It was logical for Jin Zhongguo to express his loyalty to him.
Xiao Qian didn't care about this. After appeasing Jin Zhongguo, he was still busy establishing the label.
Li Xiuman was very concerned about this matter, and just a week later, he brought him good news.
"Director Xiao, I found a good office location for you."
Li Xiuman pulled Xiao Qian to stand in front of the window, pointed to the building across the road, and said: "Look, that building is also an entertainment company, but their company is of average size, so there are many vacant places. I asked about it
, the other party is willing to rent it out, and the price is very cheap. If possible, I suggest you rent it there. In this case, it will be very convenient for the artists under your label to come and train."
Xiao Qian observed it and was extremely satisfied.
That building is only separated from here by a road, and it only takes five minutes to walk. If a practice room can't be built over there, we can just use the SM company's venue without any delay.
After getting contact information from Li Xiuman, Xiao Qian made an appointment with him and rushed there in the evening.
This is a seven-story building, and it looks at least better than the small shabby building owned by SM Company. When Xiao Qian heard that the company here was also an entertainment company, Xiao Qian was curious because she had never heard of it.
The person who received them was the company's director, a middle-aged man in his forties.
"Hello, I am Park Xunzheng, responsible for discussing leasing matters with you. I am really sorry, the person in charge of our company is currently running an event and cannot receive you."
Xiao Qian was stunned. She didn't expect that the president of this company was actually an artist and would run events in person.
However, in the Korean entertainment industry of this era, this situation is normal.
If others don't tell you, Lee Soo Man is still busy with his schedule. Park Jin Young, Yang Hyun Suk and others are also artists, and these things are also unavoidable in the early stages of the company.
He nodded, indicating that he understood, and said, "Can you let me visit the place your company plans to rent?"
"sure."
Pu Xunzheng led Xiao Qian all the way upstairs, and finally reached the seventh floor.
"This is the place we plan to rent out. Although it is the highest floor, it is very convenient to get up and down because there is an elevator. If you need it, we can seal up the elevator and give it to you for separate use."
The other party's consideration can be said to be very thoughtful, leaving Xiao Qian speechless.
He had no choice but to look at the people around him and asked: "Representative Luo, what do you think?"
This person's name is Luo Chongxi, and he is the person Li Xiuman hired for Xiao Qian to be responsible for the company's operations. In the industry, this person has rich experience and broad connections, which will be of great benefit to the company's business expansion.
Originally, Xiao Qian had some doubts about this unknown person. But when Li Xiuman introduced that Luo Chongxi was once the manager of a fire truck, he knew that he had found a treasure.
After the disbandment of the Fire Truck Group, the original members Kim Taehyung and Lee Sang-won sent an invitation to Luo Chongxi, hoping that Luo Chongxi would join their business. However, Luo Chongxi and the two had great deviations in their business philosophy, and the trip failed in the end.
In the end, Xiao Qian was advantaged and he had a top sales talent with rich experience and good strength.
It is worth mentioning that the music group Kim Taehyung and Lee Sang originally planned to create would later become the famous NRG. One of its members, Cheon Myung-hoon, became a household name in variety shows.
Luo Chongxi had already been observing and said after hearing this: "This is a very good place. It is spacious and can accommodate many people to work together. The large room over there can be turned into a professional practice room."
Xiao Qian nodded.
His ideas coincided with Luo Chongxi's.
Although his label is affiliated with SM, the operations are two systems after all. They are always mixed together, which is inconvenient and makes it difficult to maintain independence over time.
If conditions permit, it is of course better to operate completely independently.
"Then this is it?"
Luo Chongxi turned from a broker to the company's operator. He cared more about it than anyone else, so he asked Park Xunzheng: "Manager Park, what is your price?"
Pu Xunzheng led the two people back to the conference room and gave the answer on the way.
"Because this building is only used by our company, but the maintenance cost of the entire building requires a lot of money, we plan to rent it out to reduce the burden. Our representative is a very generous person and does not expect to make money from leasing, so we gave
The price is guaranteed to satisfy you.”
When I opened the door, I found someone in the office.
Da Ma sat elegantly behind his desk, wearing dark sunglasses and a fur fur that almost touched the floor, looking amazingly imposing.
But now it’s July, wearing fur...
Before Xiao Qian could digest this outrageous fashion concept, Park Xunzheng had already ran over.
"Representative, you are just back. These are the guests who plan to rent the seventh floor. We are in the process of discussing it. Do you think there is anything else that needs to be added?"
The fur man just raised his head slightly and glanced at Xiao Qian and others, his tone was extremely casual.
"Just rent it out, it's all about the money. I heard that they are all colleagues in the circle. If you can take care of them, you can take care of them."
Xiao Qian was amazed. This was the first time she saw such a generous Korean.
In the past two lifetimes, he has known a lot of Koreans. Most of them are usually very nice, but they must not raise money. Whenever they mention money, they are like a hyena seeing fat.
There was a well-recognized saying in my previous life: no matter what, you should never have any financial involvement with Koreans.
The guy in front of him made him wonder if he was Korean?
Luo Chongxi had already stepped forward to greet him and extended his hand to the man.
"Hello, I am Luo Chongxi, the manager of Big Hit Company. I used to be the agent of a fire truck."
The fur man couldn't sit still anymore, stood up quickly, and shook hands with Luo Chongxi.
"Hey Yigu, he is indeed a senior in the industry. Has senior also come out? Hahaha, since he is a senior, that's even better. Manager Park, reduce the rent of seniors and others by half."
Xiao Qian was speechless and was shocked.
The entire seventh floor is almost more than 200 square meters, and it is located in Apgujeong, Jiangnan. Xiao Qianman thought that being able to rent it for 500 million was already an advantage.
Unexpectedly, this guy opened his mouth and got half of it off...
Do you have a mine at home?
Luo Chongxi was also pleasantly surprised to hear that the fur man was so generous.
"Hey Yigu, why are you so embarrassed?"
The fur man finally took off his sunglasses. Miraculously, he didn't sweat even though he was wearing fur in the summer.
"Senior, just use it. If you need anything, you can ask Manager Park to help you."
At this time Luo Chongxi also recognized him.
“Ah, are you Lee Sang-min from Roo’Ra?”
The fur man smiled broadly.
"Senior, do you know me?"
He just debuted not long ago, and although he is very popular now, compared to a fire truck, he is a real junior.
Luo Chongxi took Li Shangmin's hand and introduced Xiao Qian to him.
"Li Shangmin xi, this is Mr. Xiao Qian, the representative of our Big Hit company. You are both managers of entertainment companies. You can get closer and closer in the future."
