The two brothers did not know what kind of agreement Tang Jinyan and Baek Chang-soo had in private, but they could roughly guess it.
If a Chinese man was in charge of the biggest mafia in Seoul, it would be a little sensational. Everyone, from the government to the underlings, would be unconvinced.
Some of the higher-ups might even think it was nonsense and might as well clean up Seoul's underworld.
If they pushed Baek Chang-soo to the surface, there would not be such a problem …
Based on the current situation, Baek Chang-soo's position and Tang Jinyan's real power should be a private agreement between these two men.
As for whether the person who got the position in the future would fight for real power, or whether the person with real power would gradually solve the problem of the position, it was another matter.
At least in the eyes of Lee Chengcan and Kim Ye, Baek Chang-soo did not have the qualifications to fight for power with Tang Jinyan. And with Tang Jinyan's relationship with the government was getting closer and closer, there was a 99% chance that he would not be an obstacle in the future.
They did not even consider the idea of playing in Bai Changzhu's place. No matter how they thought about it, they felt that the current Tang Jinyan was no longer on the same level as everyone else. He was almost unshakable. What was the point of sullenly being the leader in name … Moreover, both of them felt that if Tang Jinyan led the Xincun Party, perhaps everyone's power might make leaps and bounds …
Lee Chengcan and Kim Ye left the project department side by side. After walking a few steps, they suddenly stopped and looked at the small bungalow that they had temporarily rented as the project department office.
In their eyes, it was as if they could see the rise of the Tang Family Empire.
*****
October 10th. Combined together, it was the Chinese character for "Meng". Before this character symbolized cuteness, it actually meant germination and birth.
On this day, Tang Jinyan called for a shareholders' meeting, including representatives from the Ministry of Culture and Jeju Road. Even Su Shan, who was far away in China, participated in the meeting via video call.
The initial preparations for the project had been completed, and the first phase of the project had begun. The mission of the project department had been completed, and the Sino-Korean joint venture company had been established. This was the first shareholders' meeting before the establishment of the company. There were only two topics on the agenda: First, to decide on the name of the company.
Two, confirm the legal representative and president.
Tang Jinyan's ability to get things done in the past month was obvious to all. Even many people who were still scrutinizing him secretly praised him. Now that the project was in full swing, almost all the relevant decisions were made by Tang Jinyan. No one knew the situation better than him. At this time, it would be foolish to change the leader at the last minute. Moreover, he held 30% of the shares, so it was not easy to change him.
Before the first topic of discussion had even begun, Tang Jinyan's position as the president had already been decided amidst the discussion. Tang Jinyan did not decline and was unwilling to pass on his responsibility.
The name of the company was a problem for the representatives.
This wasn't like JYP's Pu Zhenying, who had shamelessly registered her name and left it at that.
First of all, this was a joint venture company with a strong official background. If he randomly came up with a meaningless name, let alone the representatives, the Ministry of Culture would be the first to object … Secondly, this was a company with a historical and cultural theme. The name of the company had to reflect this aspect. At the same time, the name of the company would most likely be used as the title of the film studio. If it was called TJY Film Studio, it would be a joke.
Jeju Road's governor, Won Hee Lung, was the first to speak. "Since this is the first large-scale film studio in Jeju Island, just call it Jeju Island Film Studio …"
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by KBS's representative. "The company will be called Jeju Island Company?"
Won Hee Lung slowly said, "The film studio will be called Jeju Island Film Studio, and the company will be called Jeju (Sino-Korean) Joint Venture Company …"
The Vice Minister of Culture, Tourism and Tourism coldly said, "It needs to reflect the cultural theme." He did not say anything else.
What kind of joke was this? Calling it Jeju Company, Jeju Island Film Studio, where did the Ministry of Culture's achievements go?
Was this something that you, Jeju Road, came up with?
KBS's representative cautiously suggested. "Actually, we can refer to MBC's Daejang Geum Film Studio. Using a relatively famous TV series filmed in Jeju Island as the name of the film studio will increase people's attention."
"Representative Quan wants to promote KBS's TV series right …"
"I definitely don't mean that …"
"Then call it Luo Cheng's Love of Life and Death Film Studio?
It can be considered a famous TV series filmed in Jeju Island, right? "
KBS's representative's face turned red. "Not appropriate. It's too long."
"Then call it 'Palace' Film Studio?
From what I know, it also has a large number of scenes filmed in Jeju Island. "
KBS's representative angrily said. "It's too short!"
"Pfft …" Many representatives secretly laughed.
This person who argued was too sarcastic. Of the two TV series proposed, one was from MBC and the other was from SBS. Even if KBS was not mentioned, it was not easy to force KBS's representative to use the length to refute.
Many people looked in the direction of the voice. They wanted to see who this person was.
They saw a cultured young man sitting to the left of Tang Jinyan, casually reading the newspaper. He was the one who said those words.
"It's the kid from the Qian family, Qian Changming."
"I couldn't tell that this kid was so sarcastic."
"He and Minister Tang … Oh no, President Tang have a good relationship?"
"Should be. President Tang was the one who recommended him and that person from the Zheng family to participate in the project."
The scene became very unserious, and Tang Jinyan could not help but laugh.
Yuan Xilong helplessly asked, "President Tang, do you have a proposal?"
The whispers suddenly weakened. Tang Jinyan had a lot of say in this kind of matter. Most of the proposals he proposed would be seriously considered. Everyone was looking forward to it. They did not know what creative ideas he would come up with.
Tang Jinyan originally wanted to be humble. He thought that he was a rough person and was not suitable for a name. However, he was embarrassed by the expectant gazes of the people. He gritted his teeth for a long time. Suddenly, he remembered the ID Professor Lee gave him. "How about Long River Fall?
It's a Chinese poem, and it's also artistic. It can reflect Chinese and Korean culture. "
In fact, he still did not know the meaning of these three words. However, it did not stop him from showing off.
"Hmm …" The representatives seriously considered it. To be honest, these three words were more interesting than the previous proposal. It was just that the meaning was a little bit more inexplicable … How did Long River Fall come about?
Besides, it did not match the theme of the film studio …
Looking at the expressions of the people, Tang Jinyan also knew that this proposal was not very good. However, it was good enough that they did not understand it. At least he could save his face.
He thought about it and really could not come up with a better proposal. He helplessly turned to the video, "Mr. Su, what do you think?"
On the other end of the video, Su Shan, who had been watching for a long time, finally spoke, "Since it has a historical theme in the direction of China, and the buildings are mostly palaces and city walls, let's name it after the historical dynasties of China. It's also majestic."
"That makes sense!" Tang Jinyan was the first to agree, "Mr. Su, you are indeed knowledgeable.
Then … let's name it after the first empire?
The Great Qin Corporation?
The Great Qin Empire's film studio? "
Su Shan nodded, "Not bad."
"Wait … I agree with this direction, but we have to discuss the specifics."
Vice Minister Quan of the Ministry of Culture objected, "The Great Qin Corporation is too far away, and the people don't know much about it. At the very least, we have to choose a time period when Sino-Korean relations were close."
Su Shan looked at Tang Jinyan with a faint smile and said slowly, "If that's the case … why not name it Great Tang?"
