Song Jingyan was very well behaved and greeted Liao Yu warmly, "Sister Liao Yu, I'm so sorry to bother you to pick us up at the airport so late at night."
"We are family and should not have different opinions. Grandma has been looking forward to your arrival. If Xiaoyi goes back to Yanjing by himself, he will basically have to take a taxi home, and I won't have the time to pick him up at the airport." Liao Yu joked.
"Then I really benefited from Zhiyi and Jingyan. Is Miaomiao asleep?" Song Yi asked Liao Yu.
"Not yet. She heard that you returned to Yanjing. Tomorrow is the weekend, so she refused to go to bed. The little girl is going to junior high school in the second half of the year, and she is becoming more and more naughty. She always wants to reason with me. I don't know if she learned this from Xu Zhenxian." Liao Yu couldn't help but stroke his forehead.
Zhou Zhiyi already had a daughter, and she and Liao Yu had a lot in common. Song Jingyan was newly married, and she had a hard time fitting into the conversations between Liao Yu and Zhou Zhiyi.
Song Yi, who was sitting in the back row, took care of Song Jingyan's emotions and joked with her, "You came to Yanjing on a business trip, and in order to fulfill the hospitality of the host, I arranged for you to stay at my house. If you return to Seoul, when will you arrange the same for me?"
When Song Jingyan heard Song Yi say this, she rolled her eyes at him and said, "Well, if Li Yuan goes on a business trip someday and you have a fight with your sister-in-law and become homeless, I will take you in then. Is that okay?"
Song Yi was amused by Song Jingyan, "No, that won't work. Li Yuan is not at home. I dare not spend the night at your house, otherwise I'm afraid he will -"
As soon as Song Yi finished saying this, he looked up and saw Song Jingyan's pretty face. Song Jingyan's bright eyes shone brightly in the dark trunk, making Song Yi embarrassed to finish his joke.
Song Jingyan and Song Yi looked at each other, and she remembered the experience of secretly kissing Song Yi on the corner of his mouth at Suwon Asia University Hospital. She suddenly felt that she should stay in a hotel with Xia Huiai today, and it was a bit hasty to stay at Song Yi's house. If Li Yuan knew about it, there might be another storm.
Lijing Garden is not far from the airport, but Song Jingyan still fell asleep in the car. After the car drove into the villa garage, Song Jingyan was gently woken up by Song Yi. Song Jingyan then noticed that she had fallen asleep leaning on Song Yi without realizing it.
"We're home now, and you seem to be sleeping soundly. If I wasn't worried that you would catch a cold, I would have left you in the car." Song Yi said with a smile.
Song Jingyan didn't see Liao Yu and Zhou Zhiyi, and knew that they had already gotten off the bus. The way she fell asleep leaning on Song Yi's shoulder was also seen by Liao Yu and Zhou Zhiyi. She blushed, "Sister Liao Yu and Sister Zhiyi didn't laugh at me for losing my composure, did they?"
"They both know that you are too tired today, so it's normal for you to fall asleep in the car. After all, you and President Xia flew from Seoul to Yangcheng, and then from Yangcheng to Yanjing today. It's normal to be tired after the long journey. President Xia is asleep now, and you are still in the car. Let's go back to the room early to wash up and rest." Song Yi said.
Song Jingyan felt a little awkward and followed Song Yi into the villa. Zhou Shulan heard the noise and stood up to greet Song Jingyan.
Song Jingyan greeted politely, "Aunt Zhou, I'm sorry to disturb your rest so late at night."
Zhou Shulan asked Song Jingyan, "Jingyan, are you hungry tonight? The meals on mainland airlines are average, and I don't have much appetite. How about I give you a bowl of mixed noodles to fill your stomach first."
Song Yi waved his hand, "Mom, don't bother, Jingyan is sleepy now. You can take her to the bedroom upstairs to rest first. Have you changed the toiletries, towels, bed sheets and quilt covers in the guest bedroom?"
Zhou Shulan was annoyed. "I didn't ask you. I asked Jingyan. Jingyan, are you hungry? Why don't you take a shower first and I'll go get ready. By the time you finish your shower, my noodles will be ready. The mixed sauce I just made today is so delicious."
Seeing that Song Yi had been beaten repeatedly today, Song Jingyan felt much happier. She bent down to thank Zhou Shulan, "Thank you, Aunt Zhou. I'm not hungry now. I'll try your noodles tomorrow morning."
Song Yi went to the study after taking a shower. Liao Yu saw that the light in the study was still on, so he pushed the door and walked in. "You're still not asleep so late, are things in Yangcheng not going well?"
"Things are going well. I am now worried about how to come up with a brand name for SA Electronics that is easy to understand, simple, memorable, and loud."
"Look, Samsung is called Samsung in English. It's so easy to remember. Before the merger of New Asia Group and Asan Group, SA was translated into Sheng'an, which always felt a little off."
"SA Electronics is positioned as a high-tech company. I have already prepared the English brand name Superalloy for SA Electronics, but I am still thinking about how to translate it into Chinese."
Liao Yu read it again, "Does superalloy mean super alloy?"
Song Yi found a stool for Liao Yu, and the two sat together to discuss. "Superalloy can be translated as high-temperature alloy, superalloy or super heat-resistant alloy. It is a new type of material that is widely used in aerospace and shipbuilding industries."
“Superalloy is transliterated as Su Boli, which sounds a bit like a luxury brand, such as Burberry, which is inconsistent with the positioning of a high-tech company. I think it would be better to call it Gaohe Electronics or Gaojin Electronics, which is easy to understand and simple to remember.” Liao Yu suggested.
Song Yi heard a familiar brand name, "Wait, what did you say it was called Electronics?"
Liao Yu was a little confused. "Gaohip Electronics or Gaojin Electronics, what's wrong?"
Song Yi was so happy that he hugged Liao Yu and gave her a big kiss. "Liao Yu, you are really my lucky star. You solved my big problem in one go."
"Superalloy itself is the abbreviation of SA, and the Chinese brand of Superalloy Electronics has been decided to be Gaojin Electronics."
"Mobile phones produced by Superalloy are called Superalloy phones, and electric cars are called Superalloy cars," said Song Yi.
Liao Yu was a little embarrassed. "Don't be so startled. It would be embarrassing if you wake up mom and she sees you."
HiPhi is a luxury electric car brand under Human Horizons, launched in 2019. Since Superalloy's benchmark company is Apple, Superalloy will definitely enter the field of electric car production after producing smartphones and tablets. In order to avoid the same name as HiPhi, Song Yi finally decided to name Superalloy's Chinese brand as Gaojin.
In the future, the Super OS system will not only be used in Superalloy's smartphones and tablets, but will also be used in Superalloy's electric vehicles to achieve the interconnection of all things and build an Internet of Things.
"We haven't even seen any signs of smartphones yet, and now you're eyeing electric cars? Xiaoyi, do you think electric cars will really replace fuel cars?" Liao Yu was a little uncertain.
"Whether it is European and American countries or China, Japan and South Korea, they are all encouraging the development of new energy vehicles. This is a major trend. Europe, America and China have all taken a fancy to electric vehicles, while Japan has bet on hydrogen energy vehicles."
"The initial R&D work does not require a lot of money, but the subsequent construction of hydrogen refueling stations is the big expense. However, the Japanese are unwilling to invest and want to hand this work over to other car companies."
"To give an example, it's like the Japanese didn't spend money on building highways, but built toll booths on the roads that must be passed, and then waited to collect money. Do you think the hydrogen-powered cars that Japan is betting on can still develop? In terms of electric car brands, the United States has Tesla, and China has BYD."
"After the Yanjing Olympics, Superalloy will be able to start planning its electric vehicle business. Our SA Group has also been looking at overseas lithium mines in the past two years and is preparing to buy them in advance. If major automakers rush to produce electric vehicles, the prices of the main raw materials for lithium batteries will inevitably rise. Starting early will also reduce Superalloy Auto's production costs." Song Yi said.
Liao Yu really likes Song Yi talking to her about work. She has also witnessed Song Yi step by step from starting from New Asia Advertising, and then developing it into a large multinational group company with assets of hundreds of billions of dollars and tens of thousands of employees.
"Xiao Yi, to be honest, I think I admire you a little. I feel like you have a hand of miracles, and you create one business miracle after another. When we don't know what to do next, you always point us in the direction, and it seems that we are never confused. How do you do it?" Liao Yu leaned on the stool and asked Song Yi lazily.
Song Yi coughed and said, "Who said I have never been confused? I am just good at summarizing other people's wisdom."
"I like Masayoshi Son's quote, 'At first, all I had was a dream and unfounded confidence, but everything started from here!'"
"In the beginning, I actually didn't know what SA Group would become. I just wanted to run New Asia Advertising well and bring my parents, you and Miaomiao to live in Yanjing."
"When you achieve a small goal, you want to challenge the next big goal, and then SA Group gradually developed into its current size."
"Masayoshi Son set a goal at the age of 10 to become the world's richest man and take over the whole world. Before he did it, didn't everyone laugh at his unrealistic dream?" Song Yi replied with a smile.
Liao Yu knew that Zhou Shulan had already gone to bed at this time, and no one would come to the study to disturb her and Song Yi.
She sat sideways on Song Yi's lap and stroked his cheek. "Masayoshi Son made 100 billion yen when he was 30, and you made 1 trillion yen when you were 30. In my eyes, you are much better than Masayoshi Son."
Song Yi lowered his head and kissed Liao Yu's neck. "At my stage, money is really just a number. The lifestyles of billionaires and tens of billions of dollars are not much different. Compared to making money, I pursue career success more."
"Speaking of this, I think your women are all career-oriented women. Hee-won runs Manchester United very well, Tae-hee's clothing brand is also flourishing, and even Son Ye-jin doesn't want to be a full-time housewife. She wants to come out to film after she recovers from giving birth," Liao Yu commented.
When Song Yi heard the word "women", he couldn't help feeling guilty, thinking that Liao Yu was jealous. "When Miaomiao goes to junior high school, why don't we send her to Hong Kong Island to study? You can work in Hong Kong Island, so it will be more convenient for us to meet."
"No, Miaomiao has finally made so many friends of the same age in Yanjing, and you want her to go to Hong Kong Island to adapt again. Why bother the child like this?"
"By the way, why did you give Xu Zhuxian stocks as a New Year's gift during the Spring Festival? Xu Zhuxian's mother was very nervous. She called me twice and tried to return the stocks many times. She said that Xu Zhuxian was relying on Miaomiao's help, and she didn't know that the stocks were worth so much money. It's not a good thing to accept without merit. Are you interested in Xu Zhuxian or her mother? That's why you are so generous." Liao Yu stared at Song Yi and asked.
Song Yi didn't expect Liao Yu to do this all of a sudden. He was choked up and flustered. "Don't talk nonsense. I have always respected Sister Huiying. I really don't have such thoughts."
"So you have feelings for Seo Ju-hyun? She is Miaomiao's best friend. If Miaomiao knew that you and Seo Ju-hyun ended up together, she would hate you." Liao Yu warned in a low voice.
"I swear to God, I have no feelings towards Liu Huiying and her daughter. Did you hear some gossip? You are not in Korea, but someone has filed a complaint against you?" Song Yi complained.
Liao Yu snorted and stroked the stubble on Song Yi's chin. "Since you're honest, I'll let you go today. If you count Chen Fuzhen, the Xiyuan sisters, Son Yezhen and me, you already have five wives. You'll soon catch up with Wei Xiaobao. Xiyuan and the others can't control you, so they're counting on me to restrain you and nip these tendencies in the bud."
Song Yi was ashamed. He didn't expect that Liao Yu knew everything about his actions in Korea. It seemed that Jin Xiyuan had communicated with her a lot.
"I heard that you took Moon Geun-young to travel to Japan last year when she turned 18. I checked the contracted artists of SA Agency and found that you also signed a young actress in Japan named Aragaki Yui. Her 18th birthday is in June. Are you going to bring Aragaki Yui to Korea to celebrate her birthday this time?" Liao Yu continued to ask.
Song Yi was playing dumb, "Really? How come I didn't know? SA Agency has signed too many artists, and they have always been managed by Jin Minshu. But as a Japanese artist, there is no need for her to come to Korea to celebrate her birthday, right?"
Liao Yu knew when to stop and did not ask any more questions. "Jingyan lived in our house before. She was not married at that time and had no partner. She just got married not long ago and is accompanying you to the mainland for inspection. You should be careful to avoid suspicion."
"When I got off the car just now, I found Jingyan sleeping on your shoulder, so I pulled Zhiyi out first. I know you have no interest in Jingyan, just like a brother treats his sister, but just because you treat others as your sister, others may not treat you as their brother."
"Zhiyi is not an outsider. I believe she will not tell Zhiyi's husband what happened in the car. In the mainland, I was there to remind her, but in Korea, who will remind her? We are all adults. You two are married and should have a sense of boundaries. If Jingyan's husband misunderstands, wouldn't it damage your good relationship with Li Xiangda's family?" Liao Yu said.
When Song Yi heard Liao Yu say this, he began to reflect on himself, "Sister-in-law, you are right to criticize me. I will pay attention to it in the future."
"I plan to start warming up for Gaojin Electronics' Galaxy S1 phone in August. Before the product launch, I need to let enough consumers know about the Gaojin brand. Gaojin Electronics' advertising business in Greater China will be handed over to you, Xinya Advertising. I also plan to prepare a Gaojin advertising theme song for the Gaojin phone, and let the British female singer Enya sing it." Song Yi told about his next work arrangements.
When Song Yi and Liao Yu were talking about work in the study, Song Jingyan, who couldn't sleep, went downstairs to chat with Song Yi. Song Jingyan wanted to knock on the door, but she heard Liao Yu talking about her.
When Song Jingyan heard Song Yi say that he would be careful to keep a distance from her, Song Jingyan pouted unhappily.
Later, Song Yi and Liao Yu talked about the advertising and marketing work of Gaojin Mobile Phones. Song Jingyan felt a little bored and tiptoed back to the bedroom on the second floor to rest...
This chapter has been modified. The Chinese translation of Superalloy’s brand name has been uniformly corrected to Gaojin Electronics.
