Chapter 137 – #20. Approach (4)
I can’t say anything about it because it affects the kids too.
Can’t I stop good things for my children’s future just to be comfortable?
In the end, I looked at the manager noona with resentment.
“Somehow it seems to have become meaningful to all the kids, isn’t it sad?”
Uhh, me? Absolutely not.
I just hope that the kids will fill a lot of time instead of me.
“No. But it seems a bit like lightning. That’s a good thing, right?”
“Of course! Sorry. I didn’t think you would be confused because I was in a hurry.”
“If something like this happens in the future, please discuss it in advance. I was really surprised.”
“Okay.”
If I had known in advance, I would have expressed my dislike for you…
‘It’s already too late, what should I do if I have regrets? Let’s give up.’
When I think about it, I think I have a lot of abilities that I showed to my manager noona.
I didn’t feel the need to hide my abilities, so I think I did everything I could.
Just because I said it was possible without much effort doesn’t mean it’s not great.
I decided to endure the current situation thinking that I had brought it on myself.
‘I should have saved myself thinking of the past me.’
I tried to return to a positive mindset.
‘I’m glad I realized now. What if I showed you something more nonsensical later?’
In the past, I had no ability, so I could only survive by exaggerating my abilities and inflating my shoulders and chest to the fullest, but now it’s different.
There are so many outstanding parts that I need to properly hide my abilities.
When those abilities come together, what will my image become?
‘I should refrain from useless gossip.’
If you have too many abilities, people will naturally think you’re weird.
‘Is that okay?’
‘Hey, isn’t that a lie? Does it make sense that everyone is good at it?’
‘Prove it!’
It’s a really useless doubt, and it will be a gossip that I don’t need for my activities.
How fortunate I am that I found out before it happened.
‘I’ll have to hide the 30% like a real boy’s cartoon character.’
I let out a deep sigh as I boasted about my age, which had been reduced to twenty-one.
At the age of over 30, I had to come up with the concept of middle school 2, so my stomach was very churned.
Running a UTV channel was not an easy matter that could be decided in a day or two, so the meeting had to be long.
And in earnest, the dedicated team had to select employees who would be in charge of the channel and run it.
The manager sister ended up giving the employees a job bomb.
♧ ♧ ♧
A few days after that.
“Welcome.”
“I’m glad you welcomed me like this.”
The CEO of Honey Enter unexpectedly met someone in front of the company.
The person greeted by the representative was a beautiful young woman.
Her every step, every step, was overflowing with grace.
After shaking hands, they entered the company building.
An employee followed behind the CEO.
As soon as we entered the lobby, the staff started explaining by looking at the huge photos.
“They are idol singers and entertainers who represent our Honey Enter. All of them are super popular stars. You may know that the company with the highest contract renewal rate in the entertainment world is our Honey Entertainer. We provide various conveniences to our celebrities…”
As the introduction of the staff continued, the face of the CEO of Honey Enter grew happy.
It is a company that has dedicated its life to its creation.
As a customer who came to invest a large amount in such a company, it was natural for the CEO to be happy.
The investor was listening to the employee’s introduction.
The staff’s flamboyant speech skills were enough to attract even the CEO himself.
“I’m introducing Honey Enter, and I think we can’t leave out these guys. It’s been a few months in terms of time, but it’s the boy group Airplane that debuted the year before last. These guys are the ones I’m really looking forward to in the future. As you can see, it boasts top-notch visuals, and although it hasn’t gotten much attention yet, it’s really great.”
After the introduction of the celebrities who had already risen as stars, the introduction of the boy group Airplane, which the company is currently promoting as the main one, came out.
For the first time, investors have reacted.
“… Airplane.”
“Do you know Airplane?”
“Sure. The reason I want to invest is to look at airplanes.”
“!!”
The eyes of the CEO of Honey Enter shone meaningfully.
‘Airplane is the purpose?’
She has been running an entertainment business for a long time and has received many bad offers.
It was thanks to no exceptions under any circumstances that she was able to stand proudly where she is now.
“Is there an airplane that made you decide to invest?”
Honestly, the CEO, who could not readily ask a question about the fact that he had to refuse this investment, asked with full of regret.
Employees who felt something strange looked at the investor with a lot of tension.
The investor who received the two’s focused gaze smiled meaningfully.
After the introduction of the company, the CEO moved to the representative office with the investors.
All the staff knew that the investor was coming today, so they were paying attention to their appearance.
“I don’t think it will be an easy decision since you are investing a lot of money.”
“I want to be a strong background for Honey Enter. Personally, I have a calculation that it is the company with the most future prospects among many entertainment companies. The reason I made that calculation was because I was debuting the next boy group called Airplane.”
“You seem to have high expectations for Airplane.”
“Since you’re the CEO, you must know more about them than me.”
The male idol she debuted this time was a group that somehow she didn’t pay much attention to.
But she trusted the staff she had been with for many years.
That the staff will raise those children wonderfully well.
Indeed, Airplane had successfully debuted and was in the process of establishing itself.
Is it because you just don’t care?
‘Are you saying it’s a group with enough potential for investors to come in…? .’
As for the potential of the Airplane members, I had no choice but to say something.
Investors who do not know this fact view the future of Airplane very positively and praise it repeatedly.
“I calculated that those friends would make Honey Enter a bigger company. I’m still raising them well, but I was sure that if I invested more money in them, they would become faster and more amazing friends.”
“You seem very interested in how your investment will be spent.”
“Yes, I want to make a condition that at least 70% of my investment must be used for airplanes. Because they will be the friends who will create value as much as they invested.”
It is not an easy decision to receive investment money, but it is also a matter of carefully deciding how to use the investment money.
It was not very good for investors to be involved in the use of investment money.
“The idea of investing in friends who have just debuted is something we can’t help but welcome. I’m just worried. It reminds me of ‘high risk high return’. I have no doubt that the airplane children will stand higher than they are now. But Honey Enter has many stars. Cutting and biting an immature fruit would be a tragedy that is not good for the unripe fruit and for the person who eats it.”
The words were slick, but in the end, the investment money was said by saying that we would spend it on our own.
The investor understood the CEO’s words and said with a smile.
“This is the money I want to spend for an airplane. I want you to know that I am giving 30% to everything else.”
“… You are in the position that if it is not an airplane, you may withdraw your investment.”
“As time passed, Honey Enter became a company with a long history. I have to say this to the CEO, but good investment requires choice and concentration. I want my money to be spent where it can be most effective.”
“…”
Investors’ comments were painful.
It is true that all of the entertainers under the agency are stars, but they are falling stars who have already experienced their heyday.
Even if I invested money in them, it was bound to be less than those who were just starting to emerge and were about to enter their heyday.
It is the same if you look at the settlement ratio once you sign the contract.
Celebrities who have already made their faces known to the public often fold contracts at 8:2 or even 9:1 when renewing their contracts.
It is because Honey Enter can benefit greatly just by being part of the company.
‘On the other hand, Airplane’s settlement ratio is 6:4. It’s a structure where the company benefits overwhelmingly.’
If it’s out of the question, she hopes that her investment money will already be spent on famous stars, but as her seasoned investor, she must have already researched Honey Entertainment to the bone.
A few hours after that.
Honey Enter has safely signed a contract with a huge investor of 3 billion won.
“I want to meet my friends in person who will lend me money in the future, is that okay? I want to buy you dinner.”
“Sure. I’ll ask if the kids’ schedules are okay.”
“There is no need to overdo it, so please ask lightly. It’s good that you don’t have to see all the members.”
“I see.”
After investing in a group called Airplane, the CEO thought that he had no choice but to want to see the members in real life, so he instructed the staff to contact them.
And that contact was quickly delivered by the manager in charge and reached the ears of the Airplane members.
♧ ♧ ♧
“Dining with investors?”
“They say you don’t have to go to all of them, but I thought it would be better for all the members to attend this kind of event.”
“Do you accept investment in our company?”
Naive questions popped up among the members who did not even know how the company was run.
‘Ah, boys…’
There is no such thing as a really pure and naive question.
“The investor said that he invested after seeing you guys.”
“Omg! Are you seeing us?”
“They said they thought they would make Honey Enter a great company in the future.”
“Wow! Thank you so much.”
“Therefore, the investment he made will probably be used for you guys.”
“Omg!”
“Didn’t you say you made a huge investment?”
“That’s why the CEO told you guys that it would be nice if all of you could come out.”
“If you looked at us so much, we couldn’t stay still. I’m out! Are all the brothers going too?”
When Ki Woo-yeon said she would go out to dinner first, the other members couldn’t be left out either.
“Where do you eat?”
“We will eat at a nice restaurant. So dress up neatly and come out.”
“Restaurant!!”
“Are you eating meat?”
Somehow, it seems that everyone is focusing on meat instead of focusing on dining with investors, but…
First meal with investors.
The Airplane members rushed into their respective rooms and changed their clothes.
“You wouldn’t just do something weird, would you?”
“Will something like that happen in the presence of the CEO?
“At that moment, my heart sank because I wondered if our company was also arranging something like that.”
“Isn’t the manager noona also worried about that and called all the members? I heard that only a few people can come out.”
“We don’t fall apart, we stick together. Don’t even go to the bathroom! You have to be especially careful.”
How easy is it to live a celebrity life on this floor?
A place where all kinds of dirty rumors are rampant.
There was nothing wrong with saving up and preparing in advance.
“You are. If you get an offer like that, run to your brother. I will protect you.”
At least, my response would be much better than the response of underage babies.
