Chapter 233 SM’s Response (Subscribe at the end of the month, asking for monthly tickets!!!)
Barber Shop.

The boring time seemed unusually long.

Li Yang, who had bleached and dyed his hair four times, was just chatting normally with the audience in the live broadcast room. While he was chatting, Jiang Huiyuan on the opposite side suddenly exclaimed.

"What's going on?" Li Yang looked over curiously.

"Look at the news. Two major labor unions went to the SM building to block the door because of your incident."

Kang Hye-won exclaimed, "Seven protest trucks, plus SBS's exclusive news report, now the internet is full of discussions about this matter."

"real or fake?"

Li Yang was stunned for a moment.

The two major trade unions are doing this for themselves?

For a moment, he couldn't connect the two things at all.

Even the two major trade unions heard of it for the first time.

Thinking about it, I opened my phone and took a look.

then
Li Yang couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth slightly.

what is this?
He just wanted to throw a dung ball at the other person.

Who would have thought that inside the dung ball was a nuclear bomb?
"I am just fulfilling my duties as the representative president and working for the interests of the company. I don't think there is anything wrong with me."

At the board meeting, Nam So-young, who was sitting in the first seat on the right, put down her coffee cup and narrated everything slowly.

At the beginning of 20 years, with Lee Sung-soo's promotion to the representative president of SM Entertainment, Nam So-young gave up her position as president of the Japanese branch and returned to SM Entertainment to become SM's second president, managing the artist department with another representative director, Tak Young-jun. From then on, SM Entertainment was jointly governed by two presidents.

After Kim Young-min stepped down, he served as CSO Chief Strategy Officer.

However, since he has served as the company's representative for twelve years, everyone still habitually calls him President Kim Young Min.

Another high-level shareholder participating in the meeting was Lee Soo-man, the major shareholder and chief producer, who sat in the first seat.

Yu Yongzhen, head of the composition department.

And
There are four small shareholders including Kangta and BoA.

The last person, sitting opposite Lee Soo Man, was Zhang Yunan, who attended as a representative of KaKao Company and was also the general manager of KaKao Company's Asia-Pacific region.

“Is this how Director Nam So-young performs her duties?”

Jin Yingmin turned around and asked slowly, "Do you want to come and see the scale of the protest downstairs in person?"

He slowly returned to the left seat and sat down, waiting for a response.

He picked up the coffee and took a sip, his posture elegant and refined.

When he put down the coffee, the corners of his mouth curled up for a moment.

I wanted to laugh, but I held it back.

Since Nam So-young and Lee Sung-soo took over the SM management, they have been aggressive towards the old guys. In the past year, they have been very aggressive.
Lee Soo Man has completely retreated to the second line and only shows up when important decisions are made. Zhuo Yongjun, who is backed by CJ Entertainment, likes to remain silent and usually speaks in the role of a good guy.

Kim Young-min was struggling alone.

But Nan Suying never expected that she would get into big trouble this time.

Do you think the people downstairs are just ordinary fans?
Big mistakes.

The people who are protesting for their rights have nothing to do with Li Yang.

Peninsula Trade Union Federation.

Peninsula Trade Union Federation.

It's like a writers' association.

The chaebols have always been high and mighty, and the lower-level employees have also formed their own associations to protect the rights of the lower-level workers.

Each union has more than 100,000 members.

And because of their naturally disadvantaged position, whenever they encounter unfair events, their reactions become even more crazy.

Mad dog!

This is how everyone understands the two major trade unions.

But it works.

It is a situation that would make any company's scalp tingle.

But now, he was provoked by Nan Suying.

As senior executives covet their employees' assets, the topic has risen to the top three in trending searches.

In the eyes of the two major trade unions, this is naked exploitation.

Defend rights, protest.
Even the Seoul city council members called to inquire about the matter and said that if the issue could not be resolved today, the mayor would come over later to help them solve it.

Ok.

With the general election approaching, the votes of the two major unions are important to the mayor.

If I come and handle it personally, it's self-evident which way the outcome will go.

So Kim Young-min wanted to laugh.

From his point of view, it seemed like he did everything, but his opponent just stabbed him in the neck.

Still asking yourself if you are afraid?
But he couldn't laugh.

At least you can't laugh at shareholders' meetings.

However, after catching a glimpse of Lee Sung-soo's murderous look towards Nam So-young, he couldn't help but laugh.

The angriest person present was definitely not Nam So-young.

It can only be Lee Sung-soo.

This person has always played the role of a think tank, so it is natural that he cannot fail to guess the outcome of this meeting.

The advantages of the layout over the past year have disappeared.

Afterwards, we have to face the horrific public opinion.
It is not difficult to guess that the days ahead will become increasingly difficult.

Director Nam So-young remained calm on the surface, but the veins on her hand as she clenched the pen revealed that her state of mind was definitely not as calm as she appeared.

"Why don't you speak?"

Jin Yingmin spoke softly and kindly reminded, "There are less than two hours until the mayor gets off work. We need to come up with a solution to the problem before then."

"I think the main problem now is not to find someone to blame, but we need to work together to solve the difficulties of the past and restore SM's reputation."

Li Chengzhu spoke up. He said in a deep voice, "I suggest that we increase the amount of aid to orphanages, nursing homes and other charities, and set up an employee feedback room within SM. The two major labor unions have always wanted to find companies as pilot projects. If we take the initiative to respond to the call, we should be able to extinguish the anger of some employee alliances."

After thinking for a while, he added: "Under appropriate circumstances, you can also take the initiative to call on Peninsula Company to improve employee benefits."

"And then in order to extinguish the anger of the employee union, you take the initiative to provoke other companies, and then you have to bear the anger of the mayor?"

Jin Yingmin deftly turned the pen with his fingers, and said, "In other words, in order to share the blame for someone's mistakes, we not only have to endure the exclusion of all companies, but also put the entire company in it?"

"That's not what we said. We are just showing that we stand on the side of the two major unions."

Li Chengzhu looked over and said calmly: "Besides, it's just a pilot project. If other companies don't do it, the two major unions will still not be able to implement it."

“Do you know how many times the Seoul secretariat has rejected the two major labor unions’ pilot proposals?”

Jin Yingmin put down the pen and said slowly: "Thirteen times, a full thirteen times."

He glanced at Lee Sung-soo and asked, "Do you really want SM to become a thorn in the side of the mayor's office?"

"What should I do?"

Li Chengzhu looked over and said, "Things must have a result."

"Whoever caused the trouble should take the responsibility, right?"

Jin Yingmin smiled and said, "It's useless to just play word games. What the two major unions need to see is the results."

"Don't say such harsh words. What do you mean by word games? Lee Sung-soo only made the suggestion in order to solve the company's difficulties." Nam So-young said sternly.

"Okay, I won't say anything more. Let's see if Director Nam So-young can come up with any good solution." Kim Young-min decisively got away.

In such a good situation, there is no need to confront Nam So-young, lest she drags herself into trouble. But in the end, he added: "I believe that as the representative president, Director Nam So-young will not avoid the problems when facing the company's difficulties, right?"

In a word, the retreat route is blocked.

Nan Suying's expression was uncertain.

Li Chengzhu was neither humble nor arrogant, and there was no expression on his face.

All eyes were focused on Nam So-young.

for a long time.

“I think my starting point is to seek benefits for the company. I believe everyone can see that once the Idol Card is in operation, its ability to comprehensively evaluate artists is almost equivalent to a small music bank. It is definitely worthwhile to get it.

However, due to my own operational errors, the current negative effects have occurred, and I am at fault for that.”

Nan Suying finally lowered her noble head and said: "I can publicly apologize to Li Yang and promise that I will never get involved in the Idol Card industry again and accept social supervision."

"It's no use just to criticize yourself."

Jin Yingmin reminded: "We can accept it, but do you think the two major labor unions will be satisfied?"

"I've already promised not to touch the idol card and apologized publicly, what else do you want?"

Nan Suying looked over angrily and said sternly: "Everyone makes mistakes. Have you, Jin Yingmin, never made a mistake?"

As soon as these words came out, Li Chengzhu closed his eyes in complete despair.

I felt so depressed that I wanted to vomit blood.

What does she think of the shareholders' meeting?
Vegetable market?
If fighting is useful, what is the point of shareholders' meetings?
Didn’t you see that those neutral Zhuo Yongjun, Zhang Yunan and others didn’t say anything?
急.
No hurries?
Do you think you can win if you win the argument?

Do you think that Kim Young Min is awesome because he didn't reply?
wrong.

People are watching clowns.

If you still insist on being stubborn when the time comes, you will only make them lose more.

Moreover, the shrewish look will only push originally neutral people into the opposing camp.

No one wants to be on the same side with a bad teammate.

Jin Yingmin finally couldn't help laughing. He laughed happily with contempt in his eyes. He didn't continue talking to Nan Suying, but turned to ask the others: "What are your opinions?"

"I personally feel that Director Nan Suying's response is not enough. The attitudes of the two major trade unions are here. We can't be complacent and need to show the greatest sincerity." Zhuo Yongjun spoke.

This old good guy expressed his attitude.

"How do you think Representative Zhuo Yongjun should deal with this?" Lee Soo-man looked over and asked.

"I think what CEO Lee Sung-soo said makes sense. We can support charitable aid and improving employee benefits, but forget about the pilot project. I also think that CEO Nam So-young is not suitable to continue to stay in the position of CEO. In today's more competitive environment, an irrational person obviously cannot lead the company properly."

Zhuo Yongjun said slowly: "This is not only SM's sincerity towards the society, but also friendly to the company's own development."

"Zhuo Yongjun, you..."

Nan Suying was confused.

So confused.

Her mind went blank and she was speechless. She had no idea that things would suddenly turn out like this.

She also didn't expect that Zhuo Yongjun, who was always a good guy, almost killed her as soon as he opened his mouth.

"I support the opinion of Representative Zhuo Yongjun,"

Yu Yongzhen said: "In addition, it seems that we need to find someone else to be in charge of the management of the artist department. Our financial reports in the past year or so have not been good. They have reached the lowest level in many years."

Then he looked at Nan Suying and said, "I originally thought it was another problem, but now it seems that it may be a problem with the leadership's decision."

Strike while the disease is severe and draw blood with one blow.

"But, I."

Nan Suying wanted to refute, but she absolutely did not admit this.

aespa is still in the incubation stage, and the Red Velvet group is also mired in controversy. Recently, only NCT ​​is struggling to support its income. Naturally, its financial reports are not as good as those when there were popular groups such as TVXQ, SJ, Girls' Generation, and EXO.

It's not her problem.

Before he could even open his mouth, he was interrupted again.

"I support Mr. Yu Yongzhen's suggestion."

Zhuo Yongjun agreed: "After working with Director Nam So-young recently, I personally feel that Director Nam So-young does not agree with the idea of ​​fully nurturing new groups. In fact, there are many undiscovered talents of SM's old artists."

Then he said, "Solo plans for popular members like Oh Se-hun, Park Chanyeol, and Irene, etc., can even allow suitable artists to develop variety shows or dance, but I personally have not seen all of this."

After he finished speaking, the entire conference room fell into complete silence.

Quiet.

Deathly silence.

After a while.
"Does anyone else want to say anything?" Lee Soo Man asked.

"I think SM can completely cut ties with the idol card issue."

Kim Young-min suggested, “I don’t think it’s necessary to give SM a handle to be criticized because of the tens of millions of won in revenue every year.”

"I think President Kim Young-min's suggestion is a good one."

Zhang Yunan actually spoke up and said with a smile: "Such a big company is always focusing on such a small amount of money. It gives people the impression that it is too stingy. It is better to just break up."

Jin Yingmin looked over in surprise, because this representative never said a word.

Speaking up in such an occasion is almost a sign of goodwill.

Sure enough, Zhang Yunan looked at Jin Yingmin and gave him a kind smile.

Jin Yingmin was stunned for a moment, then nodded in response.

Then, looking at Nan Suying, whose face looked as pale as death, he wanted to laugh even more.

The kind that can't be suppressed.

This woman's actions pushed the neutral Zhuo Yongjun and Zhang Yunan to her side.

To put it bluntly, how is this different from suicide?
"That's it for now. Nam So-young will resign as representative and terminate her artist management rights. She will temporarily retain the rights of the board of directors. Everyone, raise your hands to vote. Those who agree, raise your hands." After Lee Soo-man finished speaking, he raised his hand.

Then, Zhuo Yongjun, Jin Yingmin
In the end, even Lee Sung-soo raised his vote in favor.

Except for Nam So-young, all votes were passed.

Nam Soo Young.
Completely dumbfounded.

Six pm.

After washing and drying his hair, Li Yang stood in front of the mirror with a satisfied expression.

He was wearing a black shirt and dark jeans. He had a slender figure, slightly fair skin, and his silver hair made his eyes look even darker and deeper.

"What do you think? I told you that your previous worries were unnecessary, right?" Li Yang said with interest.

"It's just... OK."

Jiang Huiyuan still spoke stubbornly, but her eyes that were reluctant to leave Li Yang revealed her inner feelings.

Handsome!
Really handsome.

Li Yang's original figure and appearance were both of top quality. Because he had not been exposed to the sun for many years, his skin was not as white and tender as that of male idols, but it was still slightly white and not dark against the background of his silver hair.

On the contrary, her silver-gray hair fluttered in the wind, giving her an indescribable agility and elegance.

"Let's go, it's time to pick up the car." After paying the bill, Li Yang took Jiang Huiyuan away.

"Aren't you curious about what's in the news?" Jiang Huiyuan asked while sitting in the car.

"There's no point in being anxious. Sooner or later, there will be results."

Li Yang started the car.

The next second, the cell phone rang.
-
I'm sorry for coming home late.
