Tang Jinyan was not here for a meeting. He went to Cui Zhenhao's office to talk to him alone.
Cui Zhenhao's secretary had changed to Tang Jinyan's secretary.
Cui Zhenhao admired Tang Jinyan for using his secretary to make tea in his office. Damn it, he had wasted all these years. His team leader, whom he had painstakingly groomed, was also working for someone else. He was a nail in the board of directors, which made it difficult for him to speak casually. He had to choose his words carefully, which made him want to cry.
Pu Chulong sat beside Tang Jinyan and made tea quietly.
She glanced at Tang Jinyan. Pu Chulong looked calm and gentle, but Tang Jinyan could sense some hidden bitterness.
Not to mention that years had passed since they parted, it had indeed been a few months since they last saw each other …
What's the use of talking on the phone?
They had only seen each other a few times, and it was always in public. They had never had a proper conversation, and their relationship was really like that of a long-distance secretary.
Pu Chulong had seen such a position before. When he was in Jeju Island, he was in Seoul. That was how he contacted Jeju Island.
From the beginning of anticipation, it slowly turned into calmness.
Sometimes, Pu Chulong felt it was good to be like this. She could help him with some things. She did not like him in vain.
She wanted to be together with him, but she thought too much … How can a person like him look at a woman?
Even Eun-thi could not do it.
Maybe liking him was a mistake.
Tang Jinyan sipped his tea and said softly. "You and Old Hong have a tacit understanding, right?"
Cui Zhenhao was stunned. He knew what Tang Jinyan meant. He sighed. "Yes."
"But CUBE still has shares in this company?"
"I will buy them back gradually."
Tang Jinyan said straightforwardly, "I'll pay for it. Just let Old Hong sell it to me."
Cui Zhenhao didn't react for a moment. After he understood the meaning, his expression changed slightly. "President Tang intends to acquire ACUBE?"
Tang Jinyan said indifferently, "Why does President Cui think that I won't buy Acube?
Logically speaking, once he leaves CUBE, President Cui should be eager to find a new partner. No matter how you look at it, I'm the best choice since I've already worked with him. "
That was the logic, but Cui Zhenhao sighed.
Leaving CUBE was naturally for the right to speak.
His ideal new backer was to receive partial support in production and distribution, not to become a subsidiary company of someone else.
For example, LOEN was very sincere in wanting to acquire him, but he refused. Isn't that just changing fathers? What's in it for him?
He wasn't even willing to accept LOEN, let alone the famous and domineering Tang Jinyan.
Everyone knew that Tang Jinyan had the final say in both New Village Group and Tang Dynasty Company. If he really went under him, it might be ten times worse than if it was under Hong Shengcheng. How could Cui Zhenhao be willing?
Fortunately, Tang Jinyan's New Village Entertainment had a huge foundation. It was a combination of many companies. It was different from LOEN. Logically speaking, it didn't have the desire to acquire other companies like LOEN. Therefore, Cui Zhenhao never thought that Tang Jinyan would want to acquire him.
But he didn't expect Tang Jinyan to suddenly visit and directly express his intention to acquire him. How could he not be shocked?
"I don't know if President Cui has contact with other companies, but I'm sure he has. For example, Mnet or LOEN can make up for ACUBE's current shortcomings.
But my relationship with Mnet is very ambiguous. If President Cui doesn't want to consider me, then he will probably contact LOEN, "Tang Jinyan said indifferently as if it had nothing to do with him. But his words made Cui Zhenhao's expression change again.
He secretly glanced at Pu Chulong. Pu Chulong seemed to be confused. Cui Zhenhao was even more annoyed.
His contact with LOEN was still preliminary. They hadn't even exchanged their intentions. He was sure that Pu Chulong didn't know. There was no problem of leaking information.
But Tang Jinyan actually said it out loud. Is he still human?
Tang Jinyan blew on the tea leaves and continued calmly, "If President Cui has indeed interacted with LOEN before, you should know that LOEN has been producing and distributing products in the form of collaborations for far too many times. This kind of collaboration won't pique their interest at all. If they were interested, it would only be for expansion.
As everyone knows, other than IU, their other artists have failed miserably. If I were LOEN, I would probably consider acquiring them too.
It just so happens that Apink is doing quite well now. It's worth acquiring. Hmm … Speaking of starships, it's not bad. The company is only big, but Sistar is very popular … "
Cui Zhenhao didn't know what to say.
It felt as if Tang Jinyan had been sitting beside him the whole time he was in contact with LOEN …
Tang Jinyan suddenly laughed and said, "Of course, LOEN won't be like me, who only looks at the girl group. They probably have other plans. I won't guess blindly."
Cui Zhenhao wanted to say that LOEN had the same idea as him. He didn't know if their manager was a gentleman like him, who only had eyes for the girl group … Of course, he wouldn't say this out loud. He just smiled bitterly and said, "Chairman Tang, what exactly are you trying to say?"
"What I want to say is that President Cui's dreams are plentiful, but reality is harsh.
He wants to have someone to rely on and operate independently. How can there be such a beautiful thing?
The distributors are all vampires. Which one of them is running a charity? "
Cui Zhenhao was silent for a moment and sighed. "But why would Chairman Tang want to acquire them?
Logically speaking, acquiring ACUBE isn't beneficial to New Village Group. It might even be a burden. "
"Why must there be benefits?"
Tang Jinyan said lightly, "The woman I like is here. What's the point of being a commodity being bought and sold all day long?
I only hope that she can decide for herself where she belongs. "
Pu Chulong listened to them quietly and didn't interrupt.
When he said this, her hand paused in the middle of making tea, and she looked up at him seriously.
Is that so?
Is that so …
Cui Zhenhao's eyes almost popped out of their sockets.
If you want to acquire them as a subsidiary, you need a large proportion of shares. The value isn't as simple as one or two hundred million. You want to do it for such an unreliable reason?
Even if your New Village Group has the final say, the board of directors will think that you are messing around … Is it worth it?
Pu Chulong isn't your wife!
Tang Jinyan didn't look at Pu Chulong. He just said to Cui Zhenhao seriously, "You and I have cooperated for many years. You should know that I don't like to tell others what to do. If I acquire them, it's just on the surface that New Village Entertainment owns the shares.
And Chulong is still an artist. It's impossible for her to intervene too much in the company's affairs. The actual management is still in the hands of President Cui. This is more advantageous than the previous open and secret struggle with President Cui. President Cui might as well seriously consider it. "
Cui Zhenhao's heart palpitated.
Regardless of whether or not Tang Jinyan had lost his mind to propose such favorable conditions, the original worry of having a new father would not exist. Furthermore, he would be able to receive sufficient support. Where else could he find such a good deal?
He still said reservedly, "Let me think about it."
Tang Jinyan nodded. "Then Tang will wait for the good news." After a pause, he finally looked at Pu Chulong and whispered, "You have an office, right?
Can you take me there? "
Pu Chulong looked at him softly for a while and smiled. "Okay."

PS: In reality, LOEN acquired 70% of ACUBE's shares in 2014.
Because "Nonono" was greatly advanced, the timeline related to ACUBE was correspondingly advanced.
In addition, LOEN really stares at the girl group all day. I don't know if the boss's surname is An ^ _ ^
