A very formal meeting, in a spacious office, with both parties sitting on opposite sides. Looking at Li Fuzhen, who was eloquently explaining his conditions, Yang Dongxu rubbed his temples.
He finally understood what Zhou Ya meant by being difficult. SBS was clearly in a weak position when it came to entertainment cooperation. Any of Haina's stars will be popular in the Korean market, but SBS is not.
But Li Fuzhen dragged Samsung into the negotiations with SBS. Compared with Haina Company, SBS is not good enough now, at least its artists are not on the same level.
But compared with Samsung, tying all the companies under Yang Dongxu together is not enough. Such a dispute between primary and secondary positions has been the focus from the beginning of the negotiation, with both sides insisting on their own opinions and arguing.
After finally hearing what Li Fuzhen said, Yang Dongxu lightly knocked on the table: "Haina is now stronger than SBS. Cooperating with Haina and SBS has only advantages and no disadvantages, so Haina must dominate the cooperation between the two. This is the bottom line. "
Seeing what Li Fuzhen wanted to say, Yang Dongxu did not give her a chance to speak and continued: "Don't talk to me about cooperating with SBS to expand the market. We have no way to enter the European and American markets now. In the Asian market, Hong Kong's current position in the entertainment industry In terms of status, I would benefit more from cooperating with Wireless than with SBS."
"Then why do you insist on being SBS? And as far as I know, in addition to SBS, you have also invested in two other TV stations." Li Fuzhen looked at Yang Dongxu with a calm expression.
This gave Yang Dongxu a headache. Sometimes a woman's intuition is an unreasonable bug. Yihaina Company is preparing to lay out the entire Asian film and television industry.
Therefore, after having established a firm foothold in Hong Kong and having a fairly good relationship with wireless, he was ready to win the market of South Korea, an economically developed country. At first, Li Fuzhen should believe it eight points. Now she believed eight points, but the two points of doubt made her still open her mouth privately and hold on to it.
"We are not only involved in Korean TV stations, but also in the Japanese animation industry. The future development of Haina Company will follow a diversified route. And as an economically developed South Korea, I am optimistic about the consumption power of the film and television industry here. If I don’t invest in the TV station and have no collaborators in South Korea, do you think there won’t be any barriers for Haina Company’s products to enter South Korea?”
Yang Dongxu tried his best to keep his tone calm as he explained. But this excuse is definitely false. The real excuse is if he doesn't enter the Korean film and television market now.
Then in the next few years, this originally inconspicuous market that no one paid attention to will rise rapidly, and then Korean dramas will begin to flourish in mainland China, and even in Asia except Japan, a market that prefers anime and porn. This kind of raging can't be avoided by just cutting off a few TV series or variety shows.
"This reason doesn't convince me." Li Fujin looked at Yang Dongxu seriously. She didn't have the pure, cute, and strong woman vibe that Yang Dongxu felt yesterday at work.
If Zhou Ya's strong woman aura is aloof, it makes you afraid to look directly at her and makes you feel ashamed. The aura of Li Fuzhen's strong woman is that she is powerful, and people who feel overwhelmed by her incomparable confidence are a little breathless.
"But what I said is the truth. Cooperating with Haina currently has only advantages and no disadvantages for SBS. And after the contract is signed, I will let my artists help SBS bring new talents. This has shown my sincerity." Yang Dongxu said. .
Li Fujin looked at him without speaking.
"How about this? You come forward to kick out the other shareholders of SBS, and our two families will take control of SBS." Yang Dongxu looked at Li Fuzhen without any evasion.
"Samsung Absolute Holdings?"
"Haina Company is still the leader." Yang Dongxu did not give in at all.
"Then why should I step forward to acquire these shares?"
"Have you not always suspected that I have other purposes for investing such a large-scale stake in major Korean TV stations? Since I am so optimistic about SBS, this also proves that SBS may be the top priority in my plan. Kick other shareholders off in advance , the shares in your hand will be greatly increased, and if SBS becomes really popular, you will be able to earn more if you have more shares, right?"
"It seems to make sense, but it's the same sentence. This reason is not enough to convince me. And Samsung never makes supporting products." The last sentence made Li Fuzhen's momentum even stronger.
Both sides insisted on taking the initiative, and the negotiation was obviously over. So the tug-of-war ended for more than two hours. When Yang Dongxu walked out of the conference room, he felt more tired than when he was forced to practice martial arts by Master Xuan when he was a child.
"SBS is really that important?" Returning to the room, looking at Yang Dongxu who looked tired, Zhou Ya walked behind him. Let his head rest on your chest and massage the acupuncture points on his head.
"It is very important. Although the domestic film and television market is currently developing, it is too backward and lacks sufficient foundation. It will take too much time to fully rise. The current share of Haina occupied by the heroes of Hong Kong and Taiwan is already unpleasant. If they continue to conquer cities and territories, it is estimated that Uncle Six will always be on our side.
Therefore, the entertainment industry in Hong Kong and Taiwan is only suitable for princes to coexist, not for domination of the world. South Korea is exactly the opposite of Hong Kong and Taiwan. As long as Samsung can agree to cooperate, we will not only occupy half of the country like before, but can capture the entire country. "
In fact, there is another point that Yang Dongxu did not mention, that is, the general environment determines that the domestic entertainment industry has a long way to go, and many film and television works cannot pass the review in China.
But if it becomes popular overseas, it will be much easier to introduce it into the country. I don’t know how the film and television bureau’s brain circuit is developed.
At the same time, although the entertainment circles of Hong Kong and Taiwan are currently dominating Asia, their prosperity will inevitably decline. So in comparison, apart from the subsequent invasion of Korean dramas, Yang Dongxu wanted to enter the Korean film and television industry.
When the Hong Kong and Taiwan entertainment circles were in decline, South Korea was able to catch up and surpass Hong Kong and Taiwan dramas in the later stage and became the new darling of the mainland. This shows that Korea has very suitable hatching soil. With a suitable environment and his guidance that will not make mistakes, he believes that he will make this cake even bigger.
In fact, before deciding to settle in South Korea, he also thought about whether to use the resources at hand to directly intercept Hu. The Korean film and television industry has been suppressed.
But after some investigation, Yang Dongxu was a little disappointed, even though he took out all those classic Korean dramas and variety shows and incubated them in Hong Kong, and then dominated the mainland market.
It is also impossible to block Korean dramas. Because the Korean film and television industry is backed by chaebols, and the domestic demand for foreign investment has reached the point where the eyes are green.
As long as these capitals are consciously guided, he cannot prevent Korean dramas from entering the country. This is just like the state clearly knowing that foreign investment will make more money in the domestic counterparty, but it still wants to favor policies and even sign some obviously unequal treaties.
Domestic economic development needs the injection of these funds to activate, otherwise the pace of development will be slowed down. Therefore, when faced with capital carrying some private goods, as long as it does not touch the bottom line, we generally choose not to see it.
"How is the information I asked you to check?" Yang Dongxu asked after patting Zhou Ya's hand and indicating that she didn't need to massage it, holding her hand and letting her sit next to him.
"It's all here." Zhou Ya pulled out a folder from the files on the table and placed it in front of Yang Dongxu.
When I opened the folder, there was a thick stack of records about Li Fuzhen. The information recorded in the file was very detailed. In addition to the information about Li Fuzhen from childhood to adulthood, it also included her behavior and hobbies, her daily activities, her relationship with her family, and her work. Daily etc.
"Li Fujin still has a brother?" Yang Dongxu turned to look at Yang Dongxu in surprise.
"She not only has a brother but also a sister. Didn't you say you did an investigation? What was the investigation about?" Zhou Ya looked at Yang Dongxu in surprise.
"I just briefly searched Samsung's information before, but it wasn't very detailed." Yang Dongxu said vaguely.
He can't say that he knew Li Fuzhen because he was obsessed with gossip in his previous life. Besides Li Fuzhen, he doesn't even know who the current president of Samsung is, let alone how many children the president has, right?
Zhou Ya glanced at Yang Dongxu and said nothing. After living together for so many years, she was already used to the fact that Yang Dongxu would murmur words that she couldn't understand from time to time.
"Don't the two of you have a good relationship?" Seeing that Zhou Ya didn't mean to ask further questions, Yang Dongxu breathed a sigh of relief and asked.
"A common problem in large families is that one is the eldest son and the other is the eldest daughter. The eldest daughter is obviously more capable than the eldest son. Do you think the relationship between the two will be very good?"
"Judging from the survey data, Li Fuzhen is indeed a little more powerful than his brother. However, the two people's current positions seem to be exactly opposite." Yang Dongxu's hand kept rubbing his chin.
"Prioritizing boys over girls." Zhou Ya snorted coldly, obviously thinking of some bad memories.
Although she has now chosen to forgive her mother, her childhood experience still left an indelible shadow on her. Especially when she went back to attend her brother's wedding last time. Even though her brother, stepfather, and sister-in-law were all trying to compliment her, she always felt like she was a redundant person in any family.
"I don't favor boys over girls, and neither do my parents. I was beaten by them a lot when I was a child." Yang Dongxu clearly captured Zhou Ya's emotional changes, stretched out his hand to stop her waist, and let her lean into his arms.
Holding Yang Dongxu's waist with both hands, the side of her face was pressed against his chest. Zhou Ya's emotions quickly calmed down, "Do you want to use the relationship between them to do something?"
As the person who knows Yang Dongxu best, Zhou Ya, although her emotions were a bit up and down just now, still accurately grasped the change in Yang Dongxu's tone when talking about brother Li Fuzhen.
"You know I've always been very optimistic about electronic products, and it just so happens that this Samsung prince happens to work at Samsung Electronics." Yang Dongxu patted Zhou Ya's back, and the room fell into silence.
There was still no substantive progress in the negotiations in the afternoon, and both parties still insisted on their conditions. So the conversation lasted less than an hour and ended hastily. Then we agreed to continue talking tomorrow.
But on the second day, Yang Dongxu canceled the negotiation in advance on the pretext of something else, and the situation continued on the third, fourth, and fifth days. It seems that Yang Dongxu, who was in a hurry to go back to class before, is suddenly not in a hurry anymore.
On the sixth day, which was the last day of the week since Yang Dongxu came to South Korea, Li Fujin went directly to the top floor of the Four Seasons Hotel and knocked on the door of the presidential suite.
