Idol girl groups that have already debuted generally do not participate in this kind of entertainment, but how many are qualified to debut? The vast majority of girls can only stay in the trainee stage.

Since they are unable to debut, in order to make money and recoup their investment, the idol management company can only resort to nightclubs.

Generally speaking, if a company, such as Kim Jong Hyuk's e-commerce company jtamll, takes investment from Hyundai Group, it is equivalent to being a member of the Hyundai chaebol.

Next time you get financing, you will have to worry about it. Samsung, LG, SK and other consortiums that have a strong competitive relationship with Hyundai will not be able to accept funds.

Accepting it would be tantamount to betrayal.

For example, South Korea's largest Internet group Nhn Group is behind Samsung. And the second largest Internet company is behind Telecom SK. The dividing line is very clear.

But entertainment companies are different. They are related to almost all chaebols, and they mainly rely on female celebrities and female artists for business entertainment.

At a Korean social dinner party, if there is no female artist to accompany you, it is not called a social event.

This kind of idol management company is a pawn in the hands of the chaebol; idols are pawns of the idol management company; trainees are idols who have not yet debuted, and are ordered around by their idols...

After coming down the entire assembly line, these undebuted trainees are at the bottom, with no choice and no control over their own destiny.

She even has to go to the nightclub to provide services like a nightclub princess.

But soon a male team leader came over and reminded in a low voice that he was a trainee and not a nightclub princess, so he shouldn’t go too far. If they were a nightclub princess and the guests had needs, they had no right to refuse and had to obey. After all, trainees are not professionals, and guests

If you like it, you have to negotiate terms with them, and then negotiate terms with the team leader.

Zhou Buqi thought it was ridiculous.

He came out to play, listen to music, dance, drink and chat, not to do other things. If he really wanted to, he wouldn't have brought Sun Wanran and Ning Lu here with him.

It seems that Kim Jong Hyuk used a lot of connections and invited a lot of people.

After a while, it was decided, and there were more than 20 girls left, who were trainees from five teams, all from S/M Entertainment. One team will debut this year, and another team will debut next year.

Just let them put on a show.

Unexpectedly, after everything was arranged, a big scene was put on. Under the call of the two team leaders, more than 20 girls in various sexy uniforms knelt down and kowtowed collectively.

There are words in his mouth.

Zhou Buqi was startled.

What is this for?

Fortunately, Ning Lu next to me quickly explained: "This is a New Year greeting. It's the Spring Festival now."

"oh!"

Zhou Buqi suddenly realized.

This can also be regarded as the traditional culture of China. The Spring Festival is the most important festival, and respect must be expressed with the most solemn kneeling ceremony. The Zhou family used to come from Qilu to Guandong. Grandpa said that he was in Guanli when he was a child.

In my hometown, it is necessary to kneel down when paying New Year greetings. When going out during the New Year, when fellow villagers see you, they have to walk and kneel all the way, even dozens of meters away, and kneel down and kowtow.

Although it is traditional culture, Zhou Buqi does not think this is right, "This is dross and has been inherited by them."

Ning Lu also felt aggrieved for these trainee girls, saying: "They are all Koreans, why don't others kneel down? They are all bullying little girls... Well, there are a few who don't kneel down, are they foreigners?"

"It should be."

Zhou Buqi nodded.

There were four or five other girls standing there, bowing without kneeling. One of them was a white girl with blue eyes and a high nose. There were also a few with oriental faces, and I didn’t know which country they were from.

The next step is the performance, guests can do whatever they want.

Zhou Buqi is very casual.

Obviously, this Kim Jong Hyuk underestimates his boss Chen Dong and his boss's boss Zhou Buqi.

I thought that both of them were young people and liked this, and like many young men in Korea, they would like to hang out among the flowers and play with the little stars.

Zhou Buqi came to Korea to do business, so he definitely couldn't be seduced by this simple beauty.

Eaters have short mouths.

To be able to create such a big scene, Kim Jong Hyuk alone may not be enough. Behind this must be the relationship with Hyundai Group, so he can contact S/M Entertainment and let them arrange entertainment.

If you give in and fall into their honey trap, the relationship is equivalent to being established.

This means that Ziweixing’s market development in South Korea will side with Hyundai Group.

This is a big deal and should not be decided lightly.

Currently, the largest Internet company in South Korea is backed by the largest chaebol, Samsung, and the second largest Internet company is backed by the fourth largest chaebol, SK.

Neither Hyundai, the second largest, nor LG, the third largest, have been able to get involved in the Internet field.

There are three paths before Zhou Buqi——

First, cooperate with Hyundai Group;

Second, cooperate with LG Group;

Third, vigorously cultivate Jin Beomxiu and make him a new chaebol.

Chaebol thinking is different from consortium thinking.

The former lies in power, while the latter lies in interests. SoftBank or most large European and American conglomerates pursue profits and make money.

If you are investing in a listed company, you have two options.

First, you have 1% of the equity, but you have control; second, you have 10% of the equity, but this is a financial investment, without control, not even a board seat.

The consortium will definitely choose the latter.

The purpose is to maximize profits and make money.

Chaebols are different. They will choose the former, making money or not... This doesn't mean much. The family already has wealth that they can't spend in several lifetimes. What they care about is the protection of wealth and being able to spend it safely.

Money requires power.

Chen Dong, Lu Qi, Tang Binchen and others will not consider this.

But Zhou Buqi's level is high enough, and he can empathize with it. If possible, he is not willing to break up Ziweixing, and he also wants to firmly control it.

It is very inconvenient to communicate with Kim Jong Hyuk. This guy studied in Japan, speaks Japanese fluently, and his English is terrible.

Fortunately, Ning Lu was there to translate.

While watching the undebuted girl group dance, they chatted with Kim Jong Hyuk about the situation.

Sure enough, it was pretty much what Zhou Buqi expected.

Tomorrow, Kim Jong Hyuk’s parents will be invited, and those present may also include people from the Zheng family of Hyundai Group. This is due to the strong strength of Ziweixing, and they want to use the power of foreign aid to get a share of the country’s Internet market.

soup.

Rather than sponsoring Jin Fanxiu to become a new chaebol, Zhou Buqi is more willing to cooperate with traditional chaebols. Old families have family reputation, credibility, low resistance, and low risks in cooperation.

After some thought, Zhou Buqi decided to accept his suggestion.

Go meet with people from Hyundai Group.

Not just for the Internet, Hyundai Group's mobile phone business is doing very poorly, far behind Samsung and LG. With the existence of Samsung and LG, it is almost impossible for Aster mobile phones to make a difference in South Korea. Not only Aster, except iPhone, all

No mobile phone from any foreign company in the world can be sold in South Korea.

If possible, Asda can cooperate with Hyundai.

Kim Jong Hyuk was very happy and grateful.

Hyundai Group lacks dominance in the Internet field, and this market is dominated by Samsung and SK. If he can establish a long-term and stable relationship with Ziweixing, his father may not only be the vice president of Hyundai Group, but also qualified

Entered the president's office.

Here, Kim Jong Hyuk and Zhou Bu Qi each have their own thoughts.

They are all considering their own interests to weigh possible future cooperation.

On the other side, Sun Wanran didn't know when she called over a girl wearing a short skirt shaped like a nurse. She was a trainee who had just performed. She was chatting happily, and she was still speaking in Chinese.

Zhou Buqi was very curious and waved to her.

"Chinese?"

"right."

"What about nationality?"

"I haven't changed my nationality. I will return to my country to develop my career in the future." The other party is a girl in her twenties, pretty and pretty, with a sweet smile. "I have only been in Korea for two years as a trainee. The company has said that this year

You can make your debut.”

Zhou Buqi smiled and said, "That's okay. Congratulations. Well, do you know me?"

The girl pursed her lips and said: "I know you are Mr. Zhou, the chairman of Ziweixing. Well... I have met you several years ago."

"ah?"

"Xu Baihui is my senior sister. At that time, she was opening a company outside, and I even worked part-time. I met you at that time."

"What a coincidence?" Zhou Buqi's interest immediately increased, but he had no impression of her. "So you are studying in Beiwu. Well, what is your name? When you return to China to develop your career, you can go to Jieyu Media."

"Thank you, Mr. Zhou. My name is Song Qianqian."
