My capital is quite large.

Chapter 139 4 Big and 3 Small

Jinling, Zijinshan Manor.

As night fell, a low-key black Maybach slowly came to a stop on the tree-lined avenue inside the manor.

The car door opened, and Nazha, led by the butler, stepped into this palace that symbolized the highest power in the Chinese entertainment industry.

This was her first time stepping into her boss's private territory.

Even though she had heard her senior classmates explain things to her countless times in the apartment, when she actually stood in front of the master bedroom door, which was so luxurious it was almost suffocating, her heart was still pounding in her throat.

The heavy solid wood door was pushed open.

Li Feng was leaning back on the single sofa in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at her calmly.

"Boss...boss."

Naza's voice trembled violently, and her beautiful face was now filled with the helplessness of a frightened deer.

"Come here," Li Feng said calmly.

Naza bit her moist red lips, took a deep breath, took off her coat, and walked stiffly to Li Feng, obediently kneeling on the carpet.

Compared to Yang Mi's skillful flattery and Liu Yifei's aloofness and brokenness, Nazha at this moment was like a blank sheet of paper that had not yet been completely tainted.

She was strikingly beautiful, yet her naiveté made her appear awkward and clumsy.

Li Feng reached out and lifted her delicate chin, carefully examining her face, which would later be considered the pinnacle of beauty in the Chinese entertainment industry, in the dim light.

It must be said that the bone structure of the Western Regions is indeed quite unique.

"Do you know why I called you here today?" Li Feng gently stroked her fair cheek with his fingers.

"I...I know." Naza's eyes welled up with tears. "Sister Tangtang taught me that it's my good fortune that the boss has taken a liking to me, and I will definitely be a good boy and listen to him."

Seeing the ripe Xinjiang peach peel itself open, Li Feng naturally wouldn't be polite at all.

That night, a unique baptism took place in the master bedroom of Zijinshan Manor.

Under Li Feng's guidance, Nazha's naivety and awkwardness gradually transformed into a tactful acceptance.

The sense of control, like splashing ink freely on a blank sheet of paper, gave Li Feng a completely different kind of novelty and excitement.

……

The next morning.

While Nazha was still fast asleep on the luxurious bed, Li Feng had already finished washing up feeling refreshed.

Although the allure of a gentle, loving environment is tempting, he has always been someone who can distinguish between what is important and what is not.

"Boss, the private jet is ready and can take off at any time." Zhang Xinyu stood respectfully outside the bedroom door, holding her briefcase.

"Let's go."

Li Feng didn't wake Nazha in bed and walked straight out of the villa.

Three hours later.

Li Feng's private jet landed smoothly at Seoul Incheon International Airport in South Korea.

More than a year ago, he came to South Korea once for Han Geng's contract termination case.

But in the summer of 2011, things were different.

Seoul, SM Entertainment headquarters building, in the highest-level reception and meeting room.

Lee Soo-man, accompanied by several core executives, sat down opposite Li Feng once again.

However, this time, Lee Soo-man's smile was much more fawning than before, and he even bent his waist lower.

Because he knew very well what kind of internet empire this young Chinese boss now held in his hands! Haofeng's Weibo, iQiyi, Bilibili... he practically monopolized all the entertainment access points for young people in China!

In this era where the Chinese market is becoming increasingly important, you can offend anyone but this living god of wealth!

"President Lee! Your presence here once again is truly an honor for SM Entertainment!" Lee Soo-man greeted him with a beaming smile through the translator.

"Director Li, please skip the pleasantries."

Li Feng cut to the chase: "My goal for coming to South Korea this time is still very clear. It's still those two people I mentioned last year."

Upon hearing these two names, Lee Soo-man's expression stiffened slightly, and he looked troubled.

"President Li... these two kids are currently in the planning stages of a brand new boy band project at our company. We plan to have them officially debut next year, focusing on the Chinese market. They are truly an indispensable core of our company."

"I know you guys are preparing that boy group project with both Chinese and Korean sub-units."

Li Feng knew, of course, what kind of frenzy that monster rookie group called EXO would create in Asia as soon as they debuted next year.

But he didn't come here today to cause destruction; he came to "reap" the benefits.

"Director Li, you've misunderstood."

"I'm not here today to force you to release them. They can continue to be part of a group under your SM Entertainment, or they can debut and perform normally in Korea according to your plans."

"What I want to buy is their brokerage contract and operational rights in Greater China!"

"I, Haofeng, don't want a single penny of the money they earn in Korea; it all belongs to SM Entertainment."

"But as soon as they set foot on Chinese soil, whether it's holding concerts, taking on endorsements, appearing on variety shows, or filming movies and TV dramas, all their business must be exclusively represented and controlled by Haofeng Film & Television! I want the lion's share of the profits in the Chinese market!"

Li Feng knew perfectly well that the core commercial value of these returning internet celebrities lay entirely in the domestic market!

The pitiful fees they receive for performing in South Korea and for appearing on shows are not even enough to cover a fraction of what they earn for a low-quality endorsement in China!

Since SM Entertainment wants to keep them in Korea to gain fans and pave the way for their success, then let them do dirty and tiring work!

Once these kids have finished their professional training and gained a lot of fans in South Korea and return to China, they'll immediately become cash cows for Haofeng!

Lee Soo-man was stunned upon hearing this suggestion.

Are they not taking the members with them, allowing them to continue debuting as a group? Are they just dividing up the management contracts in the Chinese market?

"But President Lee... if we hand over the complete operational rights of the Chinese market to you, wouldn't SM's profits...?"

"Director Li, don't rush to settle accounts."

Li Feng interrupted him, offering a bargaining chip that SM Entertainment couldn't refuse:

"If you agree to sever ties with the China contract, Haofeng Group will pay SM Entertainment a cash buyout fee of five million US dollars in return!"

"Not only that!"

"Once this new boy group debuts, Haofeng Network will provide top-tier S+ level traffic resources for all their promotional activities in China! This includes trending topics on Haofeng's Weibo, featured ads on iQiyi's splash screen, and top placement on Bilibili's homepage!"

Five million US dollars in pure cash! Plus exclusive protection from China's largest internet giant!

Lee Soo-man and the South Korean executives present all held their breath!

Five million US dollars to buy half of the contracts of two trainees who haven't even debuted yet is an astronomical price in the Korean entertainment industry!

What's even more deadly is that "S+ level traffic support"!

SM Entertainment has always dreamed of entering the Chinese market, but it has been hampered by the lack of local connections to guide it.

Now that China's biggest internet traffic king has taken the initiative to extend an olive branch, it means that once their new boy group debuts in China, it will definitely become a sensation like a rocket!

This is a win-win situation, and from the Koreans' perspective, it's a deal where they got a huge advantage!

"President Li! Your sincerity is truly touching!"

Lee Soo-man bowed repeatedly with excitement, "No problem! SM Entertainment fully agrees to entrust Haofeng Film & Television with the exclusive management of the management contracts for the China region!"

"happy."

Li Feng nodded in satisfaction, then changed the subject as if he were talking about a trivial matter.

"Now that the cooperation has been reached, it's not unreasonable for me to ask for a bonus, is it?"

"Song Qian, the Chinese leader of your girl group f(x). Transfer her Chinese contract to me as well, and include her share in this five million dollars."

Victoria Song?

Lee Soo-man was taken aback. Although Victoria Song was somewhat famous in South Korea, her commercial value was clearly far behind that of the two core members of boy groups.

Having received a huge sum of five million US dollars, and with the big spender wanting a domestic contract with a girl group member as a bonus, Lee Soo-man naturally wouldn't disappoint.

"Of course, no problem! Consider Song Qian's China contract a gift for President Li!"

……

Half an hour later.

A private meeting room at SM Entertainment.

Two young men with delicate, androgynous features walked in somewhat hesitantly through the door.

They were suddenly summoned from the practice room by higher-ups and had no idea what was going on.

"sit."

Li Feng sat behind the long table, calmly scrutinizing these two future pioneers of the "traffic era" in the Chinese entertainment industry.

Zhang Xinyu pushed two thick contracts, along with two bank cards, in front of the two men.

"Congratulations, you two."

Zhang Xinyu said in a capable tone, "President Li just reached an agreement with your company, buying your exclusive agency contract in Greater China. That means that from today onwards, as long as you return to China to develop your careers, you will be artists of Haofeng Film and Television."

The two looked at each other, and both saw shock in each other's eyes!

Haofeng Film & Television!

Even though they were training in South Korea, they still knew about this entertainment giant that now dominates the domestic market!

"Each person has two million RMB in this card."

Li Feng tapped the table and said calmly, "This is the signing fee the company is paying you personally."

"Contract term: 15 years. Profit split: 50/50."

"In South Korea, you should follow SM's arrangements, train hard, and debut. As long as you become famous, I guarantee that when you return to China, Haofeng Network will make you the most popular celebrities in all of China."

A signing bonus of two million RMB! Top-tier compensation package: 50/50 split!

For two young people who are still struggling as trainees in a foreign country, this is definitely a huge temptation!

Without any hesitation or doubt, the two were so excited that their hands trembled as they picked up pens and signed their names on the fifteen-year contract that included clauses for "one hundred million in breach of contract fees" and "full compensation for artists with bad records"!

Looking at the two contracts that had been finalized.

A deep, cold smile curled at the corner of Li Feng's mouth.

The future traffic secrets of male stars in the Chinese entertainment industry: the absolute king among the four returned idols.

He snatched it up ahead of time and locked it onto the Haofeng Empire's war machine for a bargain price of a few million US dollars!

The sickle of the traffic-driven era has been sharpened, just waiting for the韭菜 (leeks, a metaphor for easily exploited people) to grow tall!
