When he saw the president of MBC, Jin Zhongguo, again, he looked tired. It was obvious that the board of directors had quarreled quite a bit recently.
"President Tang, MBC has been so busy with your matters that we can't even celebrate Christmas. You're so relaxed."
"Thanks to you, I had a good time this Christmas."
Tang Jinyan was sitting leisurely on the sofa. Li Juli was quietly making tea beside him. When she heard this, she gave him a look of slight annoyance. She was unintentionally flirtatious.
After Christmas, everyone's relationship seemed to have changed a little. It was hard to pinpoint the exact reason, but the most direct change was that none of them minded appearing as his woman in front of outsiders. Although they didn't seem to mind it in the past, it wasn't as nonchalant as it was now.
According to the company's plan, T-ara would only start preparing for the new album next month. Therefore, T-ara was completely resting these few days.
The weather was cold and everyone was too lazy to go out. They occasionally visited friends, occasionally went to the coffee shop, but most of the time, they went to Tang Jinyan's president's office to accompany him.
Among them, Li Juli was the happiest. She said that Tang Jinyan's president's office was a good place. She could leisurely make tea and read books. When she was tired, she could go to the inner lounge to take a nap. If Tang Jinyan was free, she could even have a human-shaped pillow.
To put it simply, this guy wanted to raise her like a pig whenever he had the chance.
When Jin Zhongguo came to visit, Li Juli was taking a nap inside. She was called out by Tang Jinyan to meet the guest.
MBC had given Li Juli the Best Supporting Actress Award. Although she hadn't received the award yet, she should meet the president and thank him in person.
Li Juli walked out with her hair still a little sleepy. Her lazy mature charm with a little girlish anger was beautiful. Jin Zhongguo, who was used to seeing beauties, couldn't help but secretly admit that Tang Jinyan had good luck with women.
It is said that her father is a high-ranking official in Seoul. She can be considered a high-ranking female official. No wonder she has such a temperament.
She really did not know how Tang Jinyan managed to accept her and even showed their relationship so openly. It was really a miracle.
In front of a beauty, she was brewing tea with her bare hands. Her slender fingers were lightly painted with nail polish, and the way she held the lid and poured tea was elegant and artistic. Coupled with the Chinese calligraphy and paintings that could be seen everywhere in this office, as well as the Chinese books in the bookcase, it was as if he was in a classical scholarly family. It was intoxicating. Jin Zhongguo couldn't help but speak more elegantly. "President Tang is really an elegant figure that is hard to find in the industry. If you were in ancient China, you would definitely be a famous poet."
Li Juli's calm face revealed a strange smile. Even Tang Jinyan couldn't help but blush. God pitied him. He didn't even study in primary school, but he was praised as a famous scholar. He had to thicken his skin and accept it. "President Kim, you flatter me. You flatter me …"
Actually, Jin Zhongguo knew about Tang Jinyan's background, but he was momentarily affected by the atmosphere. He didn't mean to flatter Tang Jinyan.
He paused and smiled. "I'm here to convey the opinion of the MBC board of directors. In principle, the board of directors are not opposed to the exchange of shares with Tang Jinyan, but the general request is that we have to have the same number of shares as KBS."
Tang Jinyan smiled slightly.
Jin Zhongguo continued. "If President Tang agrees to this proposal, MBC can give President Tang a portion of the shares of Daeganggeum Film City.
In addition, MBC can assign the management rights of Daeganggeum Film City to President Tang. "
This condition seemed very generous, but it wasn't out of Tang Jinyan's expectations.
This was because if Tang Jinyan invested in MBC, he would have a certain amount of management rights of Daeganggeum Film City. There wasn't much point in exchanging shares of Daeganggeum Film City. The only thing they were really talking about was the exchange of shares between Tang Jinyan and MBC. At most, the shares of Daeganggeum Film City would be a rebate.
Furthermore, with his experience as the founder of Tang Jinyan, no one on the MBC board of directors had more say than him in the operation of Daeganggeum Film City. MBC's proposal wasn't so much about generously assigning him authority. It was more like they wanted Tang Jinyan to help them revitalize Daeganggeum Film City.
Tang Jinyan sipped his tea and said slowly, "This proposal is very reasonable."
Jin Zhongguo's face lit up. He heard Tang Jinyan continue. "But … KBS shares are very high. We can't dilute the shares to MBC.
So, this proposal isn't impossible. It's just that we can't do it. Otherwise, it will shake the interests of many of the board members.
So, we can only offer 3-4% at most in exchange for MBC shares. "
Jin Zhongguo frowned. "This number is too far away from KBS. The board of directors can't pass it."
Tang Jinyan blinked. "President Kim is actually so afraid of competing with KBS?"
Jin Zhongguo laughed. "President Tang's provocation is meaningless. The board of directors can't pass this proposal.
MBC is far more complicated than people can imagine. Each faction acts independently and has their own position. Even the slightest change in shares can cause a power struggle. Everyone is extremely sensitive to this.
The reason why we're willing to let President Tang participate this time … "At this point, he smiled meaningfully." I'm afraid President Tang has put in a lot of hard work behind the scenes. "
Tang Jinyan didn't hide it. "Tang has indeed made some moves. To be honest, once Tang enters the board of directors, he will continue to make moves."
Jin Zhongguo was taken aback. Who would be so frank about their actions?
Although this was indeed within everyone's expectations, Tang Jinyan's words were more open and aboveboard.
Tang Jinyan smiled. "After I enter MBC, I'm confident that my voice will gradually become louder and louder.
So, why doesn't MBC have the confidence to gradually suppress KBS in Tang Dynasty? "
Jin Zhongguo laughed. "President Tang is encouraging us to compete with KBS in Tang Dynasty?"
Tang Jinyan said leisurely, "The president is only responsible for the overall situation. How can there be a harmonious board of directors in the world?
President Jin should be the most familiar with this.
Actually, if I go to MBC, it will be quite beneficial for President Kim to control the board of directors. President Kim should consider it. "
Jin Zhongguo fell silent.
After the former president, Kim Jae-zhe, stepped down, his position was gone. However, his shares and influence were still there. To Jin Zhongguo, the biggest constraint on the board of directors was the former president. He knew very well that he and Tang Jinyan were in the same political faction. They were natural opposites with the former president.
In other words, Tang Jinyan was indeed a strong support for him on the board of directors. He had always been clear about this.
This time, the board of directors passed the proposal of exchanging shares with Tang Dynasty. Actually, as the president, his preference played a big role.
But he was also worried. Tang Jinyan had built up his achievements from scratch. His appetite wasn't ordinary. It wasn't fun to drive a tiger to swallow a wolf. The possibility of inviting a wolf into the house was higher …
But then again, since he was worried about inviting a wolf into the house, he should reduce Tang Jinyan's shares to a certain extent to ensure his safety.
In that case, Tang Jinyan's proposal of exchanging only 3% to 4% of the shares was the most in line with his own interests as the president.
It was as if Tang Jinyan was thinking about him, Jin Zhongguo … Looking at it from another perspective, didn't it mean that Tang Jinyan had seen through his heart?
But he couldn't see through all of Tang Jinyan's intentions. Behind these proposals that seemed to be for his own good, were there other hidden schemes?
Jin Zhongguo felt a chill in his heart. He couldn't help but look up at Tang Jinyan. Tang Jinyan was taking a new cup of tea from Li Juli and stroking the back of her hand. Li Juli patted him. The two of them looked very tender and sweet.
This childish behavior … Could it really be a wily fox?
Cheering himself up, Jin Zhongguo drank the tea in his cup and said with a smile, "I will continue to convey President Tang's intentions to the board of directors."
He stopped there. He believed that Tang Jinyan knew what he meant, so he quickly changed the topic. "Will President Tang attend the ceremony tonight?"
MBC was the first to open the year-end acting awards for the three major TV stations.
Tang Jinyan turned to look at Li Juli's side profile. His eyes were full of affection. "My Juli finally won an award. How can I not go?"
