Chapter 69 Oppa, your car smells so good (25 chapters, please subscribe)
“YG has also invested up to 100 billion won, and other companies hope to extend the digital collectibles model to them.”

Fang Shihe was full of confidence in all of this. Although the Financial Supervisory Service was making progress rather slowly, he did not think that he would be stuck here.

The big fat pig's good friend, the gorilla, has also partnered with Dunamu. The specific details have not been announced, but it has certainly sparked a lot of speculation.

The subsidiary Levvels chose to register in Los Angeles, USA, in order to disguise itself as a global business company. At the same time, it downplayed the NFT label in its publicity and used "digital collectibles" to avoid fans' resistance to speculative risks.

However, if you want to grow bigger, the Big Hit combination alone is far from enough. You need to bring in more companies to build an ecosystem and expand the platform's reach.

The challenges are not insignificant. Global cryptocurrency regulation is becoming increasingly stringent, and dealing with compliance requirements for NFT transactions in different regions can be quite daunting. Sometimes, paying for lessons learned and protection fees is unavoidable.

Fang Shihe was extremely anxious about the unresolved matter, and at the same time, he also had to appease Chen Shijun. He was now using almost all his connections.

"By the way, JYP's CEO Jung has invited you over the weekend, it should also be related to Levvels, Sejun, you must make sure to make time for him."

Although he came from JYP, this guy never hesitates to take advantage of his former employer. He's never shy away from dirty tricks, but he also won't miss any opportunity to make money together.

"Of course, I've already been notified."

Chen Shijun glanced at the calendar on his watch, calculating the days in his mind. However, JYP's operational structure was strange, seemingly going to the other extreme compared to Big Hit's label collaboration model.

The company's hierarchical relationship between its various headquarters is not as good as that of ordinary subsidiaries. Artists are basically centered around their own headquarters, and while they can't say they have no sense of belonging to JYPE, it's almost the same as not having any.

This led to situations where boy groups from the main branch of the company were seated in business class, while TWICE from the third branch had to squeeze into economy class after their busy schedules. It seems more reasonable to interpret this as a difference in treatment between the branch companies.

Some of these headquarters were acquired companies, and to some extent they have retained an independent operating system, which is a common practice for entertainment companies to expand.

As for the general perception among fans that the boss is Park Jin-young, that's actually a complete misunderstanding. This good friend of Fatty Fang actually relinquished his control over the company's operations many years ago, but still retains his status as the largest shareholder.

Strictly speaking, his role is that of "artistic director" plus a singer from the second division. Like ordinary singers, he also needs to release songs through the company, and his influence on the company's directional decisions is limited.

This is completely different from Fatty Fang, who has absolute control. He only has 15.37% of the shares left, and President Zheng is his most trusted manager. They are known to be in a relationship where he can entrust his personal seal to him for safekeeping.

Speaking of Park Jin-young, he has quite a few close brothers. Back when he and Bang Si-hyuk went to America, they stayed at the home of a kind older brother. However, living under someone else's roof was not an easy life, and the sister-in-law's attitude was unbearable.

Constantly being given the cold shoulder naturally made them highly sensitive, and with not a single song selling, the two began to argue repeatedly over trivial matters.

Bang Si-hyuk is a year younger than Park Jin-young, so he naturally has to take on more of the laundry responsibilities. And the gorilla is sometimes careless and will throw his socks into the washing machine as soon as he takes them off.

"Brother, don't put the socks inside out directly into the washing machine. Please sort them out first and then put them in properly!"

Maknae Bang Si-hyuk's protest forced the gorilla to give in, but Park Jin-young, who had suffered setbacks outside, was eventually too tired to remember the matter, and this conflict erupted quite explosively.

In a fit of anger, Fatty Fang ran away from home. It's unknown whether he shed any tears or not. Although he had nowhere to go, he just wandered around the neighborhood for a bit before returning home.

But life couldn't go on forever. Bang Si-hyuk said he couldn't accept continuing to live with Park Jin-young and chose to buy a plane ticket back to Korea, leaving the gorilla behind. Although the two are now successful and their past is just a joke, Chen Shi-jun has some doubts. Bang Si-hyuk's family is quite well-off, so they shouldn't be short of money for rent.

However, JYP Entertainment is also full of talented people and has a strong fan base with high purchasing power. If they can bring them into this platform, it would be a great addition to the ecosystem that Levvels wants to build.

"SM Entertainment's new group seems to be a must-debut this year. They are very likely to be the biggest rival to our girl group plans. They are shrouded in mystery."

Listening to Fatty Fang's complaints, Chen Shijun remained silent. In comparison, he had more intelligence and had even directly attacked the enemy's stronghold.

Liu Zhimin really shares everything with him, and sometimes things go so smoothly that it's unbelievable to him. How come she can't even keep her mouth shut after only meeting him twice?

Moreover, many of the gossips circulating are from senior figures in the industry. She narrates a bunch of rumors, some true and some false, in a vivid and engaging way, as if she were hiding in someone's closet.

"Mysterious? I don't think so, but it should be a very good combination."

At least Chen Shijun thought Zhimin was a very good girl, possessing all the qualities to become popular, with both her looks and figure being top-notch.

Hopefully, the abstract nature of this work won't cause controversy. However, controversy seems to be a symbol of popularity, as SM and JYP groups often manage to achieve great success without much effort.

So far, I haven't seen any failures. At most, they might not be considered very successful, but they still manage to attract a large following.

Maybe I'll really have to fight Yuan Ying in the future, but that's a good thing. I wonder if that little snake will call Yuan Ying "senior" when it sees him.

Chen Shijun felt he should shout, because Xiaoyuan was a jealous girl and might bully her junior if she saw the snake, but Zhimin was not someone to be trifled with either.

……

"Beautiful, gorgeous! Yoo Jimin, you're even more beautiful than the senior executives in the company. If you don't become famous, SM Entertainment will really be finished."

She struck a pose in front of the mirror, her cuteness sure to charm Chen Shijun. She slung the bag the man had given her over her shoulder, feeling as if she were no longer trainee Liu Zhimin, but a big star who had already debuted.

I peeked furtively at my roommates in the dorm, then tiptoed downstairs, feeling like a bad student skipping class to see my boyfriend.

"Oppa, your car smells so good, it smells like a girl."

After shedding her heavy clothes, Chen Shijun could finally see how good the girl's figure was; her ample bosom made Xiao Yuan incredibly envious.

However, Xiaoyuan also had the advantage of long legs and a thin veil. Chen Shijun, with his extensive experience with women, immediately saw through the girl's physical attributes, but her proportions were still a bit lacking.

However, I understand the principle that you can't have your cake and eat it too. Today, the girl was very excited, and a blushing smile, like a peach blossom, was always on her face.
