Chapter 96, Personnel + Finance = Power
Assistant Lin was relieved after Wang Taika was sent away.
At first, Assistant Lin didn't take Wang Taika too seriously, thinking that he only became the temporary president because of Li Zaiyeol. In fact, Wang Taika's performance was the same. He didn't care about almost everything in the company.
Assistant Lin did it all by himself.
But after a long time, Assistant Lin realized that something was wrong. Although Wang Taika completely let go of the trivial matters of company management, he was completely clear-cut about the company's development direction. Whether it was trainees or preparations for the group's debut, including hiring Crown members as
Teacher, these are all done by Wang Taika giving orders and then asking the people below to do them.
Several members of Crown respect Wang Taika more than they agree with the company. So even the trainees know that the company wants to listen to Wang Taika the most.
There is another thing that everyone else has ignored, but only Assistant Lin has been paying attention to it. Some time ago, Wang Taika recruited a group of people from Japan, mainly a man named Ah Chong, and several others.
The Japanese are a shooting team and have officially settled in the company.
The office area where these people work is in a separate place outside, so you can't see them at all. Except when you first saw them during the onboarding process, Assistant Lin almost never saw these people.
But it is obvious that XB Entertainment, as an entertainment company, has complete control over the trainee training system, including production related to their actual debut in the future, and he has the power to speak out.
Assistant Lin is a smart man. As time goes by, he feels more and more that Wang Taika's behavior is definitely not a coincidence.
Just like today's interview, it was because the company fired a group of people some time ago. Although these people were not fired directly by Wang Taika, they were the ones Wang Taika told Assistant Lin some time ago that the company was too bloated and needed to lay off employees.
.But the specific layoffs will be decided by Assistant Lin.
Even a smooth person like Assistant Lin, after weighing the layoffs for a long time, still made many people secretly dissatisfied with Assistant Lin. As the professional manager left behind by Lee Jae Yeol, he has gone from being a powerful figure in the company to now.
He has become a butler-like existence. He has no real power and can only rely on regulations to maintain the company's operations and implement the company's policies, which are the policies set by Wang Taika.
For the rest, Assistant Lin is only qualified to make suggestions to Wang Taika, but not to execute them.
This is why Assistant Lin today has extra respect for Wang Taika, and is even a little cautious.
And Wang Taika had just beaten Assistant Lin. The two of them were originally discussing the issue of personnel transfer in the company, but after Wang Taika collided with the female job applicant, he turned around and asked Assistant Lin to inform the human resources department and refuse to hire the girl.
.
Assistant Lin knew that Wang Taika was not angry at all because the female job applicant met him, but to warn Assistant Lin in disguise that he had the right to reject anyone without reason.
Assistant Lin knew very well, so she was naturally respectful. As for the job seeker who was innocently used as a knife...who would care? No one would care except herself.
Wang Taika would not lose his temper just because someone hit her, but he would just use her as a knife and throw it away after use. That girl probably never dreamed that her career would be changed like this.
Wang Taika's unfeeling character is evident.
So Assistant Lin immediately handed in the letter of nomination. In desperation, he could only use A Pink to protect himself and divert attention.
When Wang Taika drove away, Assistant Lin finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Apart from anything else, Wang Taika's moody, hypocritical and indifferent appearance is really the behavior of a superior.
It works, it's scary, and it's disgusting.
What is power?
To put it bluntly, power consists of two things: personnel and finance.
Personnel is job scheduling. Finance is resource allocation.
XB Entertainment's finances are independent. Although it is company property, Hanjiang Holdings will check it regularly. XB Entertainment can use it, but it is not qualified to manage and organize it. Because the funds are completely controlled by Hanjiang Holdings, XB Entertainment can never be separated from Hanjiang
The jurisdiction of the holding.
Even so, Wang Taika can still use his status as president to invest funds in areas he thinks are feasible, such as signing a contract with M.B.K. and spending money to sell the crown.
As for XB Entertainment's personnel, it has been completely monopolized by Wang Taika. Personnel transfers are already at Wang Taika's discretion.
Unless Lee Jae-yeol comes back, he will be the first president of XB Entertainment. But if Lee Jae-yeol doesn't come back, even Kim Jun-koo won't be able to directly shake Wang Taika's power in XB Entertainment.
For XB Entertainment, Wang Taika really put his heart and soul into it. After all, Wang Taika himself knew that his development in S.M. Company was indeed limited, and he originally didn’t want to be a tepid VJ or PD all the time. So.
XB Entertainment is a good development route.
Wang Taika has no idea about seizing power. When Lee Jae-yeol comes back, he will definitely abdicate obediently and make way for others. But he can show his abilities so that he can get more benefits in the future.
There has to be a focus. Wang Taika's focus has gradually shifted from the original S.M Company to XB Entertainment. Whoever pays more will listen to whoever pays more. It's just such a reality that there is no way.
I drove away from XB Entertainment, but I was still thinking about what Assistant Lin said.
I have to say that Assistant Lin's views on the development of the company are very discerning. Although there are some less bright methods, they are more effective than anything else.
Regarding A Pink, Wang Taika really wanted to sign the cooperation agreement. The biggest reason was that he knew that Eun Ji and Lee Jae Yeol had a history. If Lee Jae Yeol came back and saw Eun Ji in the company, Lee Jae Yeol would be very grateful to Wang Taika.
Well, the role of the favor is Wang Taika's early investment, rare goods, and more benefits after Li Zaiyeol comes back, that's all. As for the rest of the people, it's just incidental.
When Wang Taika told Pu Chuxue, it was just to cover up his own purpose and not make what he was doing look so utilitarian. In fact, this was just a good-looking disguise, and in essence, profit came first.
Many things are so straightforward and can be divided into distant and distant relatives. If it were someone else, such as Chong'er, then Wang Taika's attitude would definitely change drastically. He might also be calculating, but he would never only see benefits.
.After all, benefits are nothing compared to certain things.
It's such a double standard, such a different treatment, Wang Taika has always been like this.
However, Wang Taika is really looking forward to it. It would be great if he and Chong'er can also sign a cooperation agreement in the future.
It is estimated that a tough guy like S.M Company will definitely not be willing to let go of Chong'er, even for a short period of time, not even a few days. Chong'er can definitely affect the existence of S.M Company's stock.
However, people always have to have dreams! If the contract is really signed, what should Chong'er do? Well, how about treating her to some steamed buns? Haha!
...
Well, Wang Taika probably didn't expect that he would actually accomplish this later!
Alas, the consequence was that he was beaten badly by Chong'er's shy little fist!
Chapter completed!
