The meeting with Tan Zhekun went very smoothly. The two sides went straight to the point with almost no small talk. They signed the equity transfer agreement in the coffee house, announcing the official change of ownership of Showbox, a heavyweight film distribution company in South Korea.
After signing the agreement, Tan Zhekun slowly talked about some daily life. "I've always heard that President Tang is young. Now that I've met you, I don't think you're young anymore."
"Indeed, it's not counted."
Tang Jinyan touched his half-white hair and laughed self-deprecatingly. "People say that if a man doesn't achieve anything before the age of 30, it will be difficult for him to make any progress after 30.
After my birthday next month, I'll be 29. "
"That's amazing. At this age, Lee Jae Yong is still learning management from his family."
"It's just a different path. If it were someone else in Lee Jae Yong's position, no one would dare to say that they could do better than him."
Tan Zhekun nodded. "President Tang's new path is indeed magnificent. Unknowingly, even the inherent logic of South Korea has been broken. From now on, no one dares to ignore this brand-new retro force. Even the logic of South Korea has changed."
Tang Jinyan knew that these old foxes didn't have good intentions when they flattered you. He just smiled calmly. "President Tan, you're too kind. The New Village Group is still a newborn."
"If a newborn has such power, then once it grows up, won't the president be forced to step down?"
"You're kidding. How can the Tang Clan have that kind of power?" Tang Jinyan said lightly. "Besides, the Tang Clan has always respected Cheongwadae the most."
Tan Zhekun smiled but didn't say anything.
The two sides exchanged a few more words and shook hands to say goodbye.
Watching Tan Zhekun's car leave, the polite smile on Tang Jinyan's face disappeared, and there was a touch of coldness in his eyes.
Tan Zhekun's words were provocative, but his provocation hit the nail on the head.
Tang Jinyan's current power was beyond the control of Prime Minister Aung San. Prime Minister Aung San would not be willing to let him continue to grow and shake her foundation.
Cooperating with Zheng Mengzhun would arouse Prime Minister Aung San's vigilance. Tang Jinyan certainly knew this, but he had to do it.
Politics had always been treacherous. At this point, relying too much on politics was the path to death. He needed to widely connect with others.
Pusan and the Democratic Unified Party did not expect to make peace, but the other forces were all targets.
On the other hand, Sora Aoi himself wasn't that strong anymore.
The main reason was that the economy was not improving, and the people were getting more and more disappointed.
The decline of the Hanjin Shipping Company was one of the typical examples. The government could do nothing about the decline of such a vital enterprise, not to mention the national economy and the people's livelihood.
From "Battle of Mingliang", it could be seen that the Korean people's dissatisfaction with the current situation was constantly accumulating. Perhaps one day, this kind of dissatisfaction would accumulate to a critical point, and it would be able to turn Kim Jong-un's face upside down.
After pondering for a long time, Tang Jinyan called Lee Yoon-rim. "Contact Smith and ask if they're interested in the showbox shares."
Lee Yoon-rim knew what he meant. "Do you need the power of Hollywood?"
"Not bad … Paramount, Global, or something like that would be the best. Let's see if the Gambino family still has the ability to do so."
"Maybe.
The main thing is how much interest they have in the showbox. "Lee Yoon-rim smiled." Actually, this sounds like you're selling out your country. "
"Tsk, I have no qualms about selling out to Korea."
"It's better to pull in the heavyweight enterprises in Korea to balance things out. Otherwise, there might be a backlash."
Tang Jinyan pondered for a moment. "Then, we'll go with SK.
From the looks of LOEN, they're very ambitious. It's impossible for them not to drool over the showbox.
Moreover, SK has a deep cooperation with China. LOEN has a large stake in China, so it's a good target to kill two birds with one stone. "
*****
On March 15th, the showbox was temporarily suspended.
New Village Group announced that they had acquired more than eighty percent of the showbox shares and had officially taken over the showbox.
When the news came out, the industry was in an uproar.
What did the cinema chain mean to the movie industry?
In layman's terms, the cinema chain was the boss. No matter how awesome a heavyweight director or how awesome an award-winning actor was, the cinema chain could strangle you to death without any discussion.
An entertainment company that integrated production and distribution was definitely a giant in the industry. If Tang Jinyan was only a person who wanted a piece of the pie in the industry, then now, he was a person who was playing chess in the industry. No one could ignore the importance of a cinema chain.
Lee Jae-hyun sighed and dialed Tang Jinyan's number. "Are we going to part ways?"
Tang Jinyan replied very politely. "We can still work together in a friendly manner.
Our relationship is here, so we won't fight to the death with you like we did with the showbox in the past. "
Lee Jae-hyun believed that they would not fight to the death, but that was not because of any bullsh * t relationship.
Tang Jinyan always had to sit on the fence between him and Samsung. It was impossible for him to completely side with either side. It was best for Tang Jinyan to be able to attack or retreat.
Since they had reached this point, Lee Jae-hyun could only say lightly, "I hope it won't affect our friendship."
"Don't worry, I'm still an honorary director of CJ Entertainment, right?"
Many people also noticed this. Tang Jinyan was now not only the owner of showbox, but also a shareholder of CJ … He also seemed to have acquired MBC's shares?
Coupled with the game that connected almost all the heavyweight music agencies … He was really going to be able to call the wind and summon the rain in the entertainment industry. How long had he been in this industry?
"Tang Jinyan's development can't be measured by common sense."
Cheong Wa Dae, President's Office. Prime Minister Yang sat behind his desk with a deep look in his eyes. "Showbox, which normally wouldn't have been able to develop for ten years, was actually taken over by him at the weakest moment. Such sensitivity …"
Beside him, Jin Wuxing said, "He needs to be restrained. Tang Jinyan's momentum is not right.
The shadows of the Zheng family and the Li family behind this matter cannot be ignored. "
Prime Minister Yang glanced at him. She knew that Jin Wuxing had always been a little wary of Tang Jinyan. Perhaps it was because he killed Tang Jinyan's eighth brother?
Prime Minister Yang did not think much of this thorn at first. In fact, she was more than happy to see the forces under her banner at odds with each other. However, at this moment, she agreed with Jin Wuxing's idea.
Tang Jinyan's momentum indeed needed to be restrained. His development speed was not only alarming, it was almost heaven-defying.
However, Tang Jinyan was not easy to suppress … Prime Minister Yang sighed secretly and recalled the report she received more than half a year ago. Tang Jinyan entered the US military base in Korea and stayed there for half a day before coming out.
In Japan, Tang Jinyan even had a senior position in the Yamaguchi Kobe Group, the kind that could mobilize military power …
This was an external force, so it was not a big deal.
However, even within her own forces, Prime Minister Yang did not know how many people had deep connections with Tang Jinyan.
Yuan Xilong was now at the most critical period of the competition for the mayor of Pusan. If she touched Tang Jinyan, Yuan Xilong would be the first to fall out with her.
This was troublesome …
Before Prime Minister Yang could come up with a plan, news came that SK's LOEN company had completed a partial share exchange with Showbox. Paramount Pictures of the United States had acquired part of Showbox's shares.
Tang Jinyan had divided more than 80% of his shares, and he only kept about 50%.
He had made a lot of money with the rising stock price and collected a large sum of money. Prime Minister Yang, who was silently reading the report behind the scenes, gritted his teeth and almost crushed the report.
Give him some color, and he could dye the sky colorful. Tang Jinyan was such a person who could not be controlled at all.
Suddenly, she felt a little regretful. Why did she choose his identity as an orphan and thought that it would not hurt her?
