Chapter 241 Full of Confidence
The word "businessman" irritated Park Jin Young. You know, Park Jin Young has always regarded himself as a pure musician, and he took over the management of the company after Hong Seung Sung stepped down. Suddenly, he was ridiculed by a young man in front of a little girl, and his face turned a little red.
But no matter how angry he was, Park Jin-young couldn't get angry, because if he really went to court and the news spread, it would be a huge blow to the company's image, and Park Jin-young knew very well what this meant.
"Mr. Zheng, please understand that the company has fully met your requirements and arranged for Kim Hyun-ah to rest. In addition, based on the doctor's diagnosis report, Kim Hyun-ah will not be arranged for work for the time being. The company has done nothing wrong in this matter. If Mr. Zheng really wants to sue, we have no objection, but I believe the result will definitely not be what Mr. Zheng thinks!" Park Jin-young maintained his strength and had sufficient reasons to refute Zheng Xiuheng, but to his surprise, Zheng Xiuheng nodded.
"Of course, the final result is nothing more than JYP winning the case, but my goal is not to win the case. I believe that by resolving this matter through the law, no matter what the result is, JYP will not gain anything. Similarly, no matter what the result is, it will also lose a lot. So President Park, please stop saying that it is not what I think. Didn't I say it? How could President Park understand my feelings?"
Zheng Xiuheng was prepared to fight with JYP from the beginning, because he didn't think that JYP's attitude would soften or become humane, so all of Park Jinyoung's responses were expected.
Park Jin Young looked as if he had suffered severe internal injuries at this moment. His expression was extremely ugly. It was obvious that the man in front of him was not as easy to fool as the parents of those trainees. Instead, he was very difficult to deal with .
Kim Hyun-A on the side has already grabbed the uncle's right hand excitedly. Her previous worries have completely turned into dependence on the uncle. At this moment, she also believes that the uncle can handle this matter.
Park Jin-young was feeling aggrieved at the moment because he couldn't find any words to fight back. In the past, Hong Seung-sung handled such matters, and it seemed that he didn't handle them well, but what outsiders didn't know was that on key issues, such as the expiration of GOD's contract, wanting to improve the conditions or to have a solo, these had to be discussed by the three giants of JYP, and in the end it was basically JYP that made the final decision, so that both GOD and Rain left JYP.
But in fact, Hong Seung-sung and Park Jin-young have very different ideas. It's not that Park Jin-young is stingy, but he will judge with an extremely realistic attitude. For example, except for Kim Tae-woo, GOD asked to release a solo album after the contract renewal. Park Jin-young would judge that the other party was not qualified and refused, while Hong Seung-sung would agree from a business perspective and renew the contract. After all, even if it costs popularity, a solo album will not cause any loss.
At this moment, Park Jin-young remembered that after Hong Seung-sung stepped down from the position of president, he said to him sincerely: "Jin-young, the position of artist director is more suitable for you. It is better to let Zheng Xu be the president!" Park Jin-young was originally a little dissatisfied, but now he agrees.
He couldn't even find a solution to such a small problem as this. Apart from feeling unhappy and angry, he really couldn't find any other solution.
“Boom boom!”
"Come in!"
"Jinyoung, I heard HyunA and her family are here. Can I come in and talk to them?"
Looking at Hong Seung-sung who pushed open the door and walked in, Park Jin-young nodded hurriedly as if he had seen a savior.
Zheng Xiuheng also looked at Hong Shengcheng. The man in front of him, who looked almost fifty years old and wore round-frame glasses and had short hair, was the former president of JYP, Hong Shengcheng. Apart from anything else, his appearance and short stature made him very friendly.
With the addition of Hong Seung-sung, Park Jin-young seemed to have gained a powerful army and immediately returned to his original image as the president.
However, when Zheng Xiuheng heard Hong Seung-sung say that he wanted to invite Kim Hyun-a to join the agency he was going to register in June, and hoped that Kim Hyun-a could join, and at the same time let Park Jin-young transfer Kim Hyun-a's contract, Zheng Xiuheng understood his intention . However, looking at Park Jin-young's stunned expression, Zheng Xiuheng laughed in his heart. This president really seems unsuitable for management.
"We're sorry, but we refuse!"
Zheng Xiuheng looked at Hong Shengcheng who was confident, and replied to him with a smile. Although his tone was flat, it seemed more like there was no room for maneuver.
Hong Seung-seong looked at Zheng Xiuheng in surprise, and then looked at Kim Hyun-a. Unfortunately, Kim Hyun-a just looked at her cousin with a smile, and lowered her head after a while.
"Mr. Zheng, I think you shouldn't make a decision for her so hastily. After all, this is a crucial choice in her life. I..."
"Mr. Hong!"
Zheng Xiuheng waved his hand to interrupt Hong Shengcheng's words, and then smiled and said: "Mr. Hong, it's too much to talk about life to a sixteen-year-old child. As for whether this decision is hasty, we can judge. Now the purpose of our coming here is very clear. There are two choices, one is to return to WG, and the other is to terminate the contract. As for Mr. Hong's invitation... What I want to say is that when the company founded by Mr. Hong can reach the scale of JYP, he will be qualified to say what he just said!"
Hong Seung-sung was embarrassed by Zheng Xiuheng's blunt ridicule, and Park Jin-young's unhappy mood suddenly subsided a lot. Seeing Hong Seung-sung's look, he instantly felt as if his thoughts were clear.
Park Jin-young also knows that his business talent is not as good as Hong Seung-sung's, but he believes that he is not much worse. He was defeated by Zheng Xiuheng's almost coercive words just now, and instinctively felt that he was not as good as Hong Seung-sung. However, after regarding Hong Seung-sung as his savior, he suddenly heard that this old guy also wanted someone. If it was any other trainee, it would be fine, but it happened to be Kim Hyun-a who was kicked out of WG by him. This was naturally a slap in the face.
However, when he saw that Hong Seung-sung, who was sitting next to him, was also ridiculed by Zheng Xiuheng, and he had no way to refute, he suddenly felt much better.
After feeling good, he naturally calmed down. Hong Seung-seong is still considering how to convince Kim Hyun-a and her cousin. To be honest, he doesn't think Park Jin-young did anything wrong this time, but this has nothing to do with whether Kim Hyun-a has talent and ability. On the contrary, Park Jin-young's choice gave him the opportunity to poach people. During this period of time, he has been constantly observing trainees in the company and then choosing the right candidates to take away. Kim Hyun-a suddenly came to the company today, and he immediately had an idea, but he didn't expect to be ridiculed bluntly.
Park Jin Young's thoughts were much clearer at this moment. After thinking for a while, he replied seriously, "If you insist that Kim Hyun-ah leave JYP, I can give in and terminate her contract now, but you must pay for Kim Hyun-ah's training expenses in JYP for the past three years. In this way, I can agree to terminate the contract between the two parties. This is the bottom line for the termination!"
Zheng Xiuheng nodded and smiled, "Very good, then let's calculate the training costs now. However, if the training costs are too much more than the cost of hiring a lawyer to fight a lawsuit, I will only choose legal means to resolve this matter. After all, we are not like President Park who can earn hundreds of millions in copyright fees every year!"
“You… you are sincere, right?” Park Jin Young realized at this moment that Jung Soo Heng was here to terminate the contract, and he had already guessed that he would have to give in in the end. But this bastard was still mocking him in the end, and even said that if the training fee exceeded the lawyer’s fee by too much, he would have to resort to legal means. How could Kim Hyun-A have such a bastard cousin?
Hong Seung-seong knew at this moment that he had no chance and was speechless. Park Jin-young actually gave in at this time. If his attitude remained as tough as before, even if a lawsuit was really filed, it would not be unacceptable. After all, Kim Hyun-a's incident would not trigger the same criticism as that against SM in the beginning.
But once Park Jin-young's momentum weakened, it would be difficult for him to take the initiative again.
"Of course we are sincere. Although President Park Jin-young said that we will not lose the lawsuit, we have also expressed our determination to return to WG. The second choice is to terminate the contract. If President Park agrees to Hyun-A's return to WG, then there will naturally be no termination of the contract, application for legal arbitration, or even lawsuits. President Park, don't think that we owe you anything. Isn't President Park's headache and anger at the moment because he knows that JYP is morally untenable in this matter? My cousin needed a week's rest due to illness, but she was kicked out of the group. If President Park thinks there is anything wrong with what I said, you can give me advice." Zheng Xiuheng said with a sneer, and his momentum was much stronger than that of President Park Jin-young.
However, this is not because Zheng Xiuheng has a domineering personality, but he is very clear that in the future, he will be in competition with these Korean entertainment companies, especially in the music industry, such as SM, JYP, etc. As the president of an entertainment company, does he have to kowtow to Park Jin Young?
To put it bluntly, since JYP kicked Hyuna out due to illness, there is nothing wrong with Hyuna asking to return to the team after recuperation, and fans will definitely support her.
But anyone with a discerning eye knows that Park Jin-young's retirement due to illness this time is not just a simple decision. If he really takes Kim Hyun-a back at this time, he will indeed lose a lot, and such a compromise will naturally become a laughing stock in the industry.
Therefore, Zheng Xiuheng is certain that Park Jin Young will not let Kim HyunA return to the WG group. In this way, Kim HyunA's request to terminate the contract is completely justified. No matter what reason JYP gives, it is meaningless. Even if it is for the sake of Kim HyunA's health, she can only rest for another two months for a check-up. JYP will still have to make a choice at that time.
And even if Park Jin-young has no shame, wouldn't it be better for Kim Hyun-a if he took her back to the group? So this is the fundamental reason why Zheng Xiuheng spoke so strongly.
This is the same principle as officials oppressing civilians. The brokerage companies are used to being domineering, and it's only because most people don't have the idea or power to resist. But when they meet someone stubborn and capable, it's hard to say who will be unlucky, not to mention that JYP has no real official power.
