Chapter 44 The Road to the Future
Oppa, you went on a trip with Unnie and didn't take me with you! I want to go to Dubai too.
Lin Yuan opened his eyes and glanced at his phone. Lizhi, who was usually very busy, had sent him a message, scolding him for going out without her.
"She's still a young girl, not as composed as she is later."
[Your unnie and I are here to work; sightseeing is just a side thing. Your debut is the real priority.]
The message was sent and received a reply in the next second.
It seems the little girl has been glued to her phone the whole time.
[Okay, then even if I debut, I'll go to Dubai, and Oppa will come with me!]
Lin Yuan smiled.
Are you sure you want me to accompany you, and not just help you pay the bill?
Hehe, my money is useful, isn't it?
Brilliant! An impeccable reason!
Alright, alright, I need to go to work now. We'll talk about it again when you debut!
Oppa, loyal! Sincere!
"You brat!"
After glancing at the sleeping Lee Ji-eun, he lay back down to take another nap.
When he opened his eyes again, the room beside him was empty.
After getting dressed and walking out of the room, Lin Yuan saw Xia Yuan sitting on the sofa typing on her computer. She was about to get up and greet him when she saw him come out, but Lin Yuan waved his hand to indicate that he didn't need to be polite.
Where did Ji-eun go?
It's a bit strange that Lee Ji-eun, who always likes to stick close to him, has disappeared.
Xia Yuan looked up and thought for a moment before saying, "Miss Li went to the spa. Would you like me to take you there?"
"It's nothing, just asking. You're busy!"
After saying that, he went back to his room, took a shower, and comfortably went to the balcony. He lay on the wicker chair, enjoying the breeze and the smell of the sea.
Mmm~ Salty~
Looking at the sea view in front of him, he sorted out his thoughts. Perhaps it was time to think about the future. This group would probably disband in a year or two. What would he do then?
The cheat ability is also related to the entertainment industry, so I definitely need to delve into this field, and the output is not high. Most importantly, it must be a work that I have seen or remember, otherwise I simply cannot write it.
So...starting a company?
"Xia Yuan, come here for a moment. I need your advice on something." With that thought, he called Xia Yuan over, since he didn't understand these intricacies himself.
Soon, accompanied by the sound of high heels, Xia Yuan arrived at his side. "Young Master."
"Have a seat." He handed her a glass of iced orange juice. "It tastes good, have a taste."
Xia Yuan accepted it with both hands and then sat down.
Lin Yuan summarized his thoughts and said, "I'm thinking of starting a small company, or a personal studio, located in South Korea. Do you have any suggestions?"
After listening, Xia Yuan fell into deep thought.
Lin Yuan took a sip of orange juice and waited leisurely.
Xia Yuan quickly regained her composure and asked, "Are you planning to leave Loen?"
Lin Yuan thought for a moment.
His current contract is under the name of Lee Ji-eun's studio, and he earns money through profit sharing. The key is that he doesn't have many resources, since it's just a limited-time group. Lee Ji-eun brings her own popularity, while he relies on his works, so it's a mutually beneficial situation.
"I'll break away and handle it myself!"
Xia Yuan also knew that his young master had this talent. He wrote LuMin's debut song, and there was also a song during the live broadcast. Although it has not been uploaded yet, it has a lot of popularity online, so the results should not be bad.
"Young Master, are you preparing for a comeback or are you looking to nurture new talent?"
Lin Yuan was taken aback; he hadn't really thought of that.
He prepared a template for himself based on Pitbull. This guy doesn't have many songs, and not many of them are famous. Once he finishes "copying" them, they'll be gone.
What should we do?
correct!
He had a flash of inspiration: his cheat ability was a conceptual skill! He could "copy" any work that hadn't been released yet, and the original author wouldn't retain any memory of it; only his version would be considered the original.
He had also tested this conclusion by secretly finding a minor writer and writing down his unpublished work. Afterwards, the minor writer had no recollection of it. Of course, he later deleted the work, and it eventually returned to the minor writer.
"I do both, mainly to train new talent. I release songs occasionally, but most importantly, I don't like management."
After saying that, he looked at Xia Yuan, hoping that this young girl would come up with a satisfactory solution.
Xia Yuan remained silent for a long time, then got up, picked up her laptop, and started typing until she finished a glass of orange juice. Only then did she speak, "Young Master, my suggestion is a personal studio affiliated with Kakao, utilizing their facilities and channels. You just need to tell them your idea, and someone will naturally help you realize it. What do you think?"
Lin Yuan nodded after listening. "My idea is to invest in Big Hit."
"Big Hit?" Xia Yuan quickly searched on the computer. "Young Master, this company seems... quite ordinary." She couldn't see anything special about it.
"I really like their company president; he's chubby and fun."
Lin Yuan gave a very absurd reason.
After listening to Xia Yuan's words, he already had a plan, which involved SM Entertainment's Min Hee-jin and Big Hit Entertainment's CEO Bang Si-hyuk.
Min Hee-jin's Newjeans was great, but it was also very ambitious. As a result, it ruined the fifth-generation top girl group, which he regretted at the time.
Bang Si-hyuk was truly remarkable. From producer to CEO, he single-handedly ended the era of only three major entertainment companies in the Korean entertainment industry, and later surpassed them to become the ultimate king, eventually evolving into a situation where one superpower surpasses three.
It's only 2015 now, and Big Hit is still five years away from going public. Now is a good time to enter the market. The market value is not high, so he can take some shares and be a hands-off manager. He just needs to be a background figure to support Fatty Fang.
Kakao can directly join the company under his name, since his mother is the head of the China division and owns 16.7% of the headquarters' shares. He can just ask his mother to put in a good word later.
At this point, his initial plan was complete.
The first step is to acquire more than half of Big Hit's shares, taking advantage of the low prices before the company goes public and making as much money as possible.
The second step was to recruit Min Hee-jin and Shinsadong Tiger, one as the visual director and the other as the producer, so as to fill the gaps caused by his slow "copying" and prevent too many downtime.
The third step is to make money!!!
Xia Yuan, who was standing to the side, was still looking up information on Fang Shihe and Big Hit. She didn't believe the young master's reason; there must be something she hadn't noticed.
Seeing this, Lin Yuan interrupted, "Don't worry about the data, we can talk about it when we get back to Korea. Call Ji-eun and have dinner with my brother. I'm going to change my clothes."
"it is good."
On the way, Lin Yuan told Li Zhi'en about his thoughts and asked for her advice.
Lee Ji-eun was very supportive, but she raised one point: the entertainment department. After all, it was they who persuaded that young girl, Kang Hye-won, to become an actress.
Since they own a company, they might as well take her with them; that way, they can ensure she won't be bullied.
Lin Yuan thought it made sense. This girl had a cheerful personality and a good sense of variety. He could give her a food show to play around with in the early stages. Anyway, she was too young to play certain roles well.
"OK, it's settled then. I'll see how to get some money out of you later, that'll be my endorsement fee."
