Chapter 473 The Clippers' Plan
"No no~ how could I be so naive." Liu Jianjun waved his hand, denying Yang Cheng's guess.
"The main reason is that some time ago, I brought my family to South Korea, and my brother and niece were with me. My niece is also a star chaser. She had to drag me to other entertainment companies to find idols for autographs and photos. I couldn't stand it. I could only go with them. During the period, I chatted with the presidents of several companies, and also visited the courses trained by their trainees. I felt deeply.
Later, my niece insisted on joining it. When the trainees were about to debut, I felt the same way those parents felt when they sent their children to entertainment companies as trainees. They were really reluctant to let their children suffer. Not everyone Parents can do it.
And the final result is not necessarily good. 80% or even 90% of the trainees can't make their debut. If they are lucky, they can still work in the company, but what about those who are eliminated? He can only withdraw from the stage sadly, but he has already lost his best time. These trainees have poor academic performance and no survival skills. They can only sing and dance, but this is the most useless in society, no diploma and no specialty , which company would want them? In the end, I could only do odd jobs in supermarkets to make ends meet, and my whole life was wasted like this. "
Yang Cheng listened quietly to Liu Jianjun's emotion, and suddenly interrupted and asked, "So, your niece still chooses to be a trainee?"
Liu Jianjun shook his head, "How is it possible? It's fine if I don't know, but I know too much about the difficulties here. Even if my niece makes her debut with my help, she may not be able to succeed. To be honest, the entertainment industry depends on appearance. It's worth eating. Although my niece is not ugly, she barely exceeds the average of the public, and she can't meet the idol's appearance standard at all.
In the end, I had no choice but to get her out of being a trainee, so I took her to S-M, and asked Kim Young Min to help arrange the most rigorous trainee training class, but she tried to participate, but she couldn’t find it. After half a day, I voluntarily gave up, told me that this is not a job done by humans, and honestly returned to China with my elder brother. "
Yang Cheng raised her head and laughed loudly, "This is a brilliant move, it will make your niece retreat in spite of difficulties."
Liu Jianjun also smiled, "That's why I don't understand why this distorted industry can achieve great success. Is it possible that sticks are inherently resilient? Later, I gradually became the same. This is because I was forced by social pressure. , I found that the children who are willing to become trainees have extreme backgrounds. They either come from rich families and have no worries about food and clothing, and they like to perform purely out of hobbies; Yes, although the meager income is a drop in the bucket, no matter how small a mosquito’s legs are, it’s still meat, at least it’s not easy for these children to have food.”
Yang Cheng disagreed, "This is also an important reason why Korea is so weird. In order to be successful, famous, and earn money, what can these so-called idols do? After earning money, they feel that the hardships they have suffered before are not in vain. Eat, just show your sense of superiority in different ways, such as reprimanding and beating the younger generation, etc., the mind is completely distorted, there is nothing to sympathize with, it is the path they chose, and at the same time enjoying the scenery sought after by thousands of people, they must also Under the pressure proportional to it, I still say, we just make money."
Liu Jianjun nodded understandingly, "Boss, I understand, I'm just deeply moved by the niece's matter, and I'm absolutely unambiguous about how to make money."
"Okay, you can go back and search again. There are so many entertainment companies in Korea, there are always suitable targets. You have to catch a plane later, so I won't take you off. Let the driver arrange a car to take you to the airport, and work hard later. , When you finish the task of listing CY Entertainment, you can choose whether you want to go back to China or come to the US headquarters." Yang Cheng ended the conversation and also drew a big cake for Liu Jianjun. As long as the work is done well, the promotion will not run away. of.
. . .
Watching the Mercedes-Benz carrying Liu Jianjun leave in his study, Yang Cheng looked away, turned on the computer, and opened the video conferencing software. Soon, several familiar faces appeared on the screen.
Konrad Koch, Sean Marx, and several team executives.
"Boss, the Clippers replied to our trade offer, but they changed the trade plan, proposing to exchange Chris Paul + JJ Redick for Joe Johnson and Jarrett Jack. The salary is almost equal and does not exceed the salary cap." After Sean Marx got connected, he immediately started reporting.
Yang Cheng looked at Konrad Koch, "Steve just agreed?"
Looking at the background of Conrad Koch, it should be in the yacht, the voice is not very clear, "As I said, Steve has great ambitions, and his goal is LeBron James."
Yang Cheng pondered for a while, then asked Sean Marx, "Is this deal good for us? Deron and Chris Paul are in the same position, so it's impossible to be there at the same time, right?"
Sean Marx had already prepared for this issue, "We can sell Deron to the entire league, and we will definitely be able to exchange for suitable targets before the deadline. After Joe Johnson left, our backcourt configuration was weakened a lot. JJ Ray Dick is at best a qualified starter and belongs to the system. We must partner Chris with a swingman. We need to stand up and lead the team when Chris is not on the court, but we can’t shake Chris’ tactical core and changing clothes. The position of the boss of the room."
"Like?" Konrad Koch asked.
"After some screening, we locked our target on Gordon Hayward, who has a good offensive ability and a stable shot, which is easy to match with Chris Paul's style of play. The important thing is that Gordon Hayward's character He is friendly, doesn’t like to fight, don’t worry about conflicts between him and Chris, he is now playing for the Utah Jazz, I think Deron is very willing to return to his old club at the end of his career.” Sean Marx introduced.
Yang Cheng thought for a while, "Didn't you say that you will fight for Durant this summer?"
At this time, Nets head coach Lionel Hollins, who has been keeping a low profile in front of Yang Cheng, said, "Boss, Durant is unknown. In the face of competition from many giants, can we successfully sign him?" We can't predict, and if Gordon Hayward is exchanged, coupled with Chris Paul's ability, I have more than 80% certainty to enter the second round of the playoffs."
Yang Cheng admitted that what the coach said was reasonable, but he knew nothing about Gordon Hayward. From the perspective of the football market, if Paul and Durant teamed up, they would definitely attract Knicks fans from Madison Garden Going to the Barclays Center, not to mention two superstars in their prime, can at least guarantee the competitiveness of the Brooklyn Nets in the Eastern Conference in the next few years.
But the coach's promise made him very excited again. In the first season of taking over the team, he rushed to the second round of the playoffs. This is a scene that New Yorkers haven't seen in many years.
Now the multiple-choice question is given to him, is it for the future? or now?
