"KTB Investment Group wants to buy 40% of Wemade's shares held by Xinya Network. Why does Hong Weili think I am short of money?" Song Yi was puzzled.

Although KTB Investment Group is the largest VC institution in South Korea, the fund size currently managed by New Asia Capital is not smaller than that of KTB Investment Group. As a rising star, New Asia Capital is already a well-known VC in South Korea, investing in many Internet companies, including Nexon, Netmarble, NHN, NCSoft and many other online game companies.

Interestingly, Nexon is the developer of the online game "Bubble Bobble". During the internal testing phase of "KartRider", Nexon founder Kim Jong-joo accused "KartRider" of borrowing the portraits of many cartoon characters from "Bubble Bobble", which was suspected of infringement. This also caused "KartRider" to attract the attention of many Korean netizens before it was released.

In Shin-A Network Co., Ltd., Jeon Ju-ho is fully responsible for the operation of inschool, Yoo Young-jun is responsible for Sohan.com, and the "KartRider" project has been personally managed by Song Yi.

Jin Zhengzhou said that "KartRider" infringed the copyright, so Xinya Network should send a representative to clarify the matter. However, Song Yi stayed in China during that period.

When Secretary Jiang Xiu Na asked Song Yi how to respond, Song Yi said casually, "Didn't Chen Xinyu participate in the entire development process of KartRider? Wouldn't it be enough to let her respond to Jin Zhengzhou's question as a representative of the production team?"

Having stayed with Song Yi for so long, Jiang Xiu Na already knew Chen Xinyu's true identity. She thought Song Yi would always hide the fact that Chen Xinyu worked at New Asia Network Co., Ltd., but Song Yi did not play by the rules and actually let Chen Xinyu accept media interviews as a representative of the "KartRider" production team.

Chen Xinyu's rebuttal was also very blunt. "I don't understand how the claim that the cartoon characters of KartRider copied those of Bubble Bobble comes from. It's obvious that we are a cartoon-like multiplayer racing game."

"As a game developer, we have always advocated safe driving, so we added a helmet to each game character. The design inspiration actually comes from the F1 race. President Kim can't just think that the cartoon characters wearing helmets are a bit similar to the characters in "Bubble Hall" and arbitrarily say that it's plagiarism, right?"

"In fact, we have animation designs of our game characters without helmets. Once netizens start playing the game, they will know that the game characters of KartRider Rush+ have nothing to do with Bubble Bobble."

"Nexon is a game company that was founded earlier. I hope President Kim Jong-joo can spend more time on game research and development instead of taking advantage of our New Asia Network. I hope we can all make progress together and contribute to the Korean online game industry!" Chen Xinyu accused bluntly.

Jin Zhengzhou was furious when he saw Chen Xinyu's counterattack. When he was about to find out Chen Xinyu's identity, he chose to remain silent. If he had a verbal battle with Chen Xinyu, it would not be glorious if he won, but if he lost, it would be a disguised promotion for Xinya Network's new game.

Moreover, Kim Jung-joo has an advantage. Although he is not satisfied with the fact that KartRider borrowed the character design from Bubble Bobble, he does not reject New Asia Capital's investment in Nexon. Lee Byung-kyu quickly helped Song Yi find out that it was not KTB Investment that wanted to buy 40% of Wemade's shares, but Park Kwan-ho who intended to join hands with KTB Investment to redeem this part of the shares.

Li Bingkui has resigned from Eshan Group and joined New Asia Real Estate Media Group as a director and board secretary of New Asia Media Real Estate Group, reporting directly to Song Yi. Liao Yu helps Song Yi manage his mainland and Hong Kong assets, while Li Bingkui is responsible for helping Song Yi manage his Korean and other overseas assets.

After all, he was Zhou Zhengyong's secretary before, and it would be easy to attract criticism if he worked directly under Song Yi. Now Song Yi is the third richest man in South Korea, and his personal assets are far ahead of Zhou Mengjiu and Zhou Mengzhun. It is appropriate for Li Bingkui to serve as the board secretary of Xinya Media Real Estate Group.

"It seems that our President Park is ready to part ways with our Xinya. I guess he has now found a new buyer and let other mainland game companies continue to represent "Legend of Mir 2." Song Yi analyzed.

"Park Kwan-ho should have made preparations for both situations. If we agree to significantly increase Wemade's share of the profits, they will continue to cooperate with Shin Asia. If we disagree, they will choose to change the agency. "Legend of Mir 2" is still Shin Asia's most profitable game project, and we cannot give up the agency rights easily." Lee Byung-kyu expressed his opinion.

"Even if we renew the contract with Wemade, Park Kwan-ho will still focus Wemade's main energy on their upcoming new game "Legend 3". By then, we will spend a high price to complete the contract renewal, but Wemade will join forces with other companies to launch "Legend 3" to compete with "Legend of Mir 2", and we will still be in a passive position." Song Yi said.

The "Legend" series of games was the most popular from 2001 to 2008, but later the Legend mobile game was still able to contribute more than 1 billion in revenue to the renamed Shengqu Games. If it wasn't for a last resort, Song Yi would not be willing to give up the big IP of Legend. If Wemade really launched "Legend 3" to compete with "Legend of Mir 2" represented by Xinya, it would inevitably divert some players of "Legend of Mir 2". When mobile games began to rise, Xinya and Wemade would quarrel over who was the most authentic Legend.

Theoretically, Wemade and Xinya Network both have the copyright of "Legend of Mir 2". No matter which company launches the legendary mobile game, it is genuine. However, Song Yi is obviously unwilling to let Wemade share this big piece of the future mobile game market.

"Uncle Bingkui, please help me make an appointment with KTB Investment's President Hong Weili. Since KTB Investment wants to buy Xinya's shares in Wemade, let's negotiate a price. If their offer satisfies me, it is not impossible to sell these shares." Song Yi said meaningfully.

Li Bingkui believes that Song Yi will not easily sell his shares in Wemade. Since Song Yi has met with Hong Weili, he must have other ideas. Maybe Park Guanhao just wants to buy back the shares and want to fully control Wemade, but Song Yi wants to use KTB investment to drive Park Guanhao out of Wemade. Although Park Guanhao is the biggest contributor to the development of "Legend" and the founder of Wemade. However, there are many cases where founders were driven out of the company by the board of directors and shareholders. Sina founder Wang Zhidong was removed from the CEO position by Sina shareholders and driven out of Sina.

Fate will not sympathize with a poor person, but will be kind to every rich person. Every gift from fate is secretly marked with a price. Park Guanhao is not as rich as Song Yi, but he wants to drive Song Yi out, so his fate is actually already doomed. The agency contract between Xinya and Wemade will expire in half a year, and Song Yi still has plenty of time to deal with it, so he is not in a hurry at the moment.

On January 20, the box office of "If You Are the One" in South Korea exceeded 3 million after four weeks of release. Cine 21 predicts that the final box office of the film will be around 4.5 million. "My Naughty Girlfriend" is more like a family movie, while the audience of "If You Are the One" is mainly concentrated in young people and housewives.

Shinhan Media has started shooting advertisements for Sohan.com. This time, Sohan.com has invited Kim Tae-hee, Son Ye-jin, Song Hye-kyo and Seo Ju-hyun to shoot the advertisements together. In addition to these four, Cho Seung-woo and Jo In-sung will dub for Sohan.com's advertisements.

In addition to Seo Ju-hyun, Shinhan Media has gathered together the most popular film and television actors in Korea last year.

This month, Lee Soo-man was included in the Interpol wanted list. Knowing that something was wrong, Lee Soo-man fled to the United States.

After the news of Lee Soo-man's escape to the United States was exposed, SM Entertainment's stock price has been falling for several days in a row.

SM Entertainment President Kim Young-min said in an interview, "SM Entertainment Production Director Lee Soo-man did not embezzle SM Entertainment's company property. There are historical issues involved."

When reporters asked what the historical legacy was, Kim Young-min and SM Japan President Nam So-young avoided talking about it. It was obvious that the top executives of SM Entertainment had a tacit understanding about this matter before Lee Soo-man returned to Korea.

Jin Yingmin knew that his uncle Zhong Xiaotong was about to leave, so he naturally did not want to get involved in the muddy water of SM Entertainment at this time.

However, when Minister Jung Da-mi of the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, who had previously had close contacts with Lee Soo-man, received a call for help from Lee Soo-man, she said that she was busy with the handover of work and had no time to play golf with him.

Lee Soo Man complained in his heart, I gave you valuable golf club and beauty salon membership cards before, and you had the time, but now you start to protect yourself when there is any sign of trouble.

The experienced Lee Soo Man felt something was wrong because Interpol had issued a wanted order without notifying the Seoul police. Not long after he fled to the United States, local media in Los Angeles accidentally exposed his whereabouts, putting him in a passive position in public opinion.

The reason why Lee Soo-man chose to flee to the United States was that he wanted to remotely command his confidants in the United States, let them use their connections with the Seoul police and the prosecutor's office, and then return to the country to deal with his embezzlement case.

He originally planned to return to Korea and surrender himself after reaching an agreement, so as to establish a good image of a man who can correct his mistakes. However, the reports of the local media in Los Angeles made his wish come to nothing. Now the Korean media said that he was taking advantage of the judicial loopholes between South Korea and the United States to evade criminal responsibility. The media also specifically mentioned Baek Ji-young's agent Kim Si-won. The Dong-A Ilbo even bluntly accused that the United States has become a haven for Koreans to evade criminal responsibility.

Lee Soo Man knows that Kim Young Min and Nam So Young will not covet his shares in SM Entertainment. After all, Lee Soo Man is indispensable to SM Entertainment. Whether it is TVXQ that debuted this year, or SJ or Girls' Generation that have not debuted yet, they all rely on Lee Soo Man's planning and operation.

Excluding Kim Young Min and Nam So Young, Lee Soo Man would naturally place his suspicion on Shinya, another shareholder of SM Entertainment.

However, the market value of Shin-Asia Media Properties Group exceeds 6 trillion won, while the market value of SM Entertainment is less than 300 billion won. He doesn't know why Song Yi would want to gain control of SM Entertainment.

Lee Soo Man was relieved when Shin Han Media invited Seo Ju Hyun to star in the advertisement of Sohan.com. Shin Ya's move confirmed his speculation that Song Yi invested in SM Entertainment for Seo Ju Hyun.

At this time, Jung Da-mi also reminded Lee Soo-man who was far away in the United States, "Producer Lee, now the new generation is better than the old. Isn't Shin-Asia a shareholder of your SM Entertainment? Now all Koreans know that Song Yi is a favorite of the new president. Why don't you go to worship the ready-made Buddha instead of seeking the near one?"

Lee Soo Man certainly knew this, but the reason why he didn't ask Song Yi for help was mainly because he couldn't see through Song Yi. He didn't know what conditions he could offer to impress Song Yi. If Xin Ya just wanted to get a seat on the board of directors of SM Entertainment, he would have no problem with that.

Even if Song Yi wants to go a step further and personally take charge of the Girls' Generation girl group project, he can still negotiate with him. The idols in the Korean entertainment industry are like assembly line products. If he loses one Girls' Generation, he can just spend a few years to create another one. But can a girl group like Girls' Generation satisfy Song Yi's appetite?

However, since his whereabouts in the United States have been exposed, he can't stay in the United States for too long. If Interpol really arrests him for investigation, it will be a lot of fun. Reluctantly, Lee Soo-man took the initiative to contact Song Yi.

"Producer Lee, I was talking about you with President Kim Young-min these days. SM Entertainment's stock price has been falling for many days in a row, and I am also worried about this. President Kim and I have discussed that New Asia Media Properties should buy a small amount of SM Entertainment shares to boost SM Entertainment's stock price and give shareholders some confidence. Before you return to Korea, I still want to stabilize SM Entertainment's stock price as much as possible." Song Yi praised Lee Soo-man.

"Thank you, President Song. A journey of a thousand miles tests a horse's strength, and time reveals a person's true character. After this turmoil, I finally recognized the people around me, and knew who were my friends, Lee Soo Man, and who were the enemies lurking around me."

"Chairman Song, I did not embezzle SM Entertainment's company assets to harm the interests of other shareholders. When SM Entertainment went public, the Financial Services Committee felt that SM Entertainment's registered capital was insufficient and did not meet the listing requirements."

"Later, with the support of other shareholders, I temporarily borrowed funds from SM Entertainment's account, but I paid it back very quickly. At that time, SM Entertainment had not yet gone public, and its financial system was not perfect. The main purpose was to go public early and for the halo of being the first entertainment company stock." Lee Soo-man said half true and half false.

Song Yi certainly knew, but he would not expose Lee Soo Man's lies. He was still trying to trick Lee Soo Man into returning to Korea early to accept the investigation. When Lee Soo Man entered the Seoul Central District Prosecutor's Office, it would not be up to him to decide how much SM Entertainment shares he could keep.

"I understand what Li said. After New Asia invested in SM Entertainment, the shares it holds have appreciated a lot. As representatives of investors, we certainly hope that Li can return to SM Entertainment to take charge of the overall situation as soon as possible." Song Yi hinted.

Li Xiuman was delighted. "Chairman Song, I heard that you have a good relationship with Lee Sang-dae of the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office. I am actually willing to return to Korea and surrender myself to explain my problems. However, Interpol has issued a warrant for my arrest. There are indeed many misunderstandings here."

"Chairman Song, if it is convenient for you, could you please help me contact the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office and ask Chief Prosecutor Lee to send a working group to Los Angeles to handle my case. I don't want the Seoul police to hand me over to Interpol in the name of assisting in the investigation as soon as I return to Korea." Lee Soo-man cautiously probed.

Song Yi on the other end of the phone smiled. Lee Soo Man was indeed cunning and sly. He would never return to Korea to surrender without reaching an agreement with the Procuratorate. In fact, Lee Soo Man returned to Korea in May 2003 and was sentenced to two years in prison and three years of probation. After that, SM Entertainment was audited by the National Taxation Administration almost every year, but Lee Soo Man escaped unscathed every time.

"Chief Prosecutor Lee is about to retire, and he is not willing to handle this case right now. Prosecutor Le Seok-ik of the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office performed outstandingly in the cases of Lee Eun-joo and Lee Chun-jae, and is a prosecutor who will be re-employed soon."

"Well, I'll say hello to Prosecutor Le and see if he can spare some time to fly to the United States. If you have any situations or requests, just tell Prosecutor Le directly. He also likes to make friends with capable business people like Li Zaoyao." Song Yi said.

Lee Soo Man understood that this Le Xiyi was obviously Song Yi's man, and Le Xiyi came to the United States to negotiate with Lee Soo Man with Song Yi's request. As long as you meet the conditions set by Le Xiyi, Lee Soo Man can return to China at any time, and Interpol's wanted order can also be cancelled for you.

While he was lamenting Song Yi's tremendous power, he also thought that the star prosecutor of the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office was just Song Yi's disciple, and had to do whatever Song Yi asked him to do.

After Song Yi hung up the phone, he put the phone aside and continued to receive the service of the female technician. At this time, a woman's voice came from his ear, "Lee Soo Man's case has been exposed now. It is obvious that someone took advantage of the window period of the presidential transition to frame him. If he is well accepted in the new government, this matter will be over. Why do you have to stand up for him now?"

"Sister Suying, if I wait until Lee Soo Man has made his move before helping him, it will only be icing on the cake. It's unclear whether Lee Soo Man will appreciate it or not."

"But if I come forward now to help him solve the crisis at hand, it would be like providing timely assistance. I have big plans for SM Entertainment, and this plan cannot be successful without Lee Soo Man's cooperation." Song Yi did not reveal the inside story.

If Song Suying knew that it was Song Yi who set up Lee Soo Man and then came forward to help Lee Soo Man, then Song Suying would know what Song Yi was thinking.

Song Suying was invited by Kim Tae-hee to attend a charity reception held at Song Yi's home. Halfway through the reception, Song Yi invited Song Suying to experience the SPA service of Song Yi's private masseur. Kim Tae-hee knew that Song Yi wanted to talk to Song Suying, so she continued to host the charity reception with Choi Sun-hee.

Song Yi was now naked from the waist up, while Cui Shanji was covered with a white towel. Originally, there was a curtain between the two massage beds that could be pulled up to block the sight between the guests. However, Song Yi and Song Suying seemed to have forgotten tacitly and did not ask the technician to draw the curtain.

Choi An-won returned to work at SK Group in the second half of last year, and Song Su-young retreated to the second line and no longer cared about the various businesses of SK Group. She concentrated on managing her own Colorful Butterfly Art Museum. Song Su-young also had more private time, otherwise she would not have the time to come to Song Yi's house to attend the cocktail party.

Seeing that Song Yi had already made plans, Song Suying did not try to persuade him. "My father asked me to thank you. Several people he recommended have received good arrangements in the new government."

Song Yi knew that Song San Gong had a great influence in the South Korean army, so he persuaded Song Yuxi to form an alliance with Song San Gong in exchange for Song San Gong's support. Song San Gong called on several congressmen who had taken off their military uniforms to support Song Yuxi, and in return, Song Yuxi also arranged good positions for these congressmen in the new government.

"I'm just a middleman and didn't play any important role. How could I deserve Uncle Song's special thanks?" Song Yi was very humble.

"You are a very important middleman. Anyone who wants to deal with the new president can't do without you as a middleman. If you were not smart and went to China to avoid the limelight, the media would have already reported that you took advantage of the influence of the new president to solicit bribes." Song Suying also agreed with her father Song Shangong's judgment. Every decision made by Song Yi was the result of careful consideration. Although he was young, he was not frivolous.

Song Yi found Song Suying mainly to find out about Chen Fuzhen. "The last time I saw Fuzhen, she didn't look very well and seemed very tired. Did something happen in her family?"

Song Suying sighed, "I knew you wouldn't ask me to have a SPA for no reason. It turns out you care about your old lover."

"After Chen Fuzhen introduced the giant pandas Aibao and Yabao from China, the revenue of Samsung Everland reached a new high. In addition, the revenue of Shilla Hotel in 2002 also achieved an excess growth of 50%. Fuzhen proposed to Chairman Gun Hee to merge Everland and Shilla Hotel to form a cultural tourism company called Samsung Culture and Tourism to integrate the tourism resources of Samsung Group. As a result, this proposal was rejected by Chairman Gun Hee. Not only that, Chairman Gun Hee also removed Fuzhen from the position of president of Samsung Everland." Song Suying said.

"Ah? Is Chen Jianxi getting senile? Instead of using his daughter who is so capable at work, he deliberately suppresses her?" Song Yi was a little indignant.

Song Suying turned her face to the side and looked at Song Yi's smooth back and streamlined calf muscles. She didn't expect Song Yi's body proportions to be so good. She was taking advantage of Song Yi openly.

"What? Are you feeling sorry for Fu Jin now? Isn't it all thanks to you, Chairman Song, that Fu Jin was suppressed by Chairman Gun Hee?" Song Suying said.

"My contribution?" Song Yi was a little confused as to how it was related to him.

"Samsung was going to acquire T Map, and Chen Zairong was in charge of the acquisition. But in the end, Xinya Network got there first. Your inschool website has already launched a map service."

"You, Chairman Song, did not treat Chen Zairong and his sister equally. You helped Chen Fuzhen to import giant pandas from the mainland. The Shilla Hotel was also one of the first five-star hotels to join Sohan.com. I heard that the advertisements of your Sohan.com will also include related advertisements of the Shilla Hotel."

"Except for Chen Fuzhen, you, Xinya, showed no mercy to Samsung. You snatched the agency rights of "Legend of Mir 2" from Chen Zairong and made more than 10 billion RMB. Now you snatched T Map from Chen Zairong again."

"Chen Jae-yong has failed twice in his fights with you, so Chairman Chen Jianxi is naturally not satisfied with his son's performance. But Chen Jae-yong is very smart. He took a step back to advance. He praised Boo-jin for her outstanding work performance at Shilla Hotel and Everland, and suggested that his father transfer Chen Boo-jin to Samsung Electronics for training."

"Chen Boo-jin didn't know what Chen Jae-yong said, and she proposed the idea of ​​integrating Shilla Hotel and Samsung Everland into Samsung Tourism. Chen Jianxi encouraged his children to compete in a healthy way, but it is impossible to shake Chen Jae-yong's status as heir. In order to suppress Chen Boo-jin, he removed Chen Boo-jin from her position as president of Samsung Everland and asked her to just take care of Shilla Hotel and not worry about things that she shouldn't worry about! Fuzhen naturally felt uncomfortable being said this by her most respected father, so her will was a little depressed." Song Suying explained.

After hearing what Song Suying said, Song Yi finally understood why Chen Fuzhen was so aggressive in the hotel last time and asked him whether he was going to help her or sleep with her.

Song Yi now thinks that Chen Zairong is a very sinister guy. He is actually a disguised informant. Chen Fuzhen has the support of the New Asia Group, so Shilla Hotel and Everland are developing rapidly, and Chen Zairong is deliberately targeted by Song Yi, so he has all kinds of troubles. Chen Zairong took the initiative to ask Chen Jianxi to transfer Chen Fuzhen to Samsung Electronics, which was a heart-breaking statement, so Chen Jianxi did not hesitate to remove Chen Fuzhen from the position of president of Samsung Park.

"Huh, this Chen Jianxi really treats Samsung Everland as his family's private land, forgetting that it is a listed company. I will ask Everland's shareholders to send an inquiry letter at the shareholders' meeting. With Everland's revenue and net profit both growing, what considerations did the board of directors have in removing Chen Fuzhen from the position of president? Does Chen Jianxi really treat the board of directors as a decoration?" Song Yi asked back.

"If I were Fu Jin, I would definitely not agree with you doing this. Now is the time to keep your distance from Fu Jin. The more you show that you support Fu Jin, the stronger Chairman Gun Hee's determination to suppress Fu Jin will be. If you insist on letting Fu Jin return to Samsung Everland to continue serving as president, she will not even be able to keep the Shilla Hotel in the end. Do you believe it? How could Chairman Gun Hee let you, an outsider, participate in the fight for the succession of the Samsung family?" Song Suying reminded Song Yi.

Song Yi suddenly became a little depressed, "Should I do nothing now?" Although the New Asia Media Real Estate Group is not small in scale, there is still a huge gap compared with the huge Samsung Group.

"It's not that you can't do anything. Fuzhen has been in a bad mood recently, so you can take some time to spend more time with her. Once a woman's sexual life becomes regular, her qi and blood will flow smoothly, and the depression in her heart will naturally disappear. Then her complexion will definitely be rosy and radiant." Song Suying suggested seriously.

The two female technicians were not very old. When they heard Song Suying's lewd words, their faces turned red. Song Yi coughed and signaled the two female technicians to leave first.

Song Yi stood up and sat next to Song Suying's massage bed, with only a towel between them. "Why did Fuzhen tell you everything, even her lack of sex life?"

Song Suying turned over and lay on her side on the massage bed. The towel fell off, and Song Yi saw the whiteness of Song Suying's chest. As a person who has experienced it, she was not shy, "Fuzhen and I have known each other for more than ten years. We have always shared happiness and difficulties together."

Song Yi held the towel on Song Suying's body, "Sister Suying, the technicians have all left. How about I give you a massage? Fuzhen has experienced my technique before. Don't you share the good and the bad together?"

Song Suying ran her fingertips across Song Yi's chest, "Then you have to hurry up, otherwise if Shan Ji comes over later and it suddenly ends halfway through, it will be quite disappointing."

Thank you all for your monthly tickets, see you tomorrow.
