After Zhou Shulan criticized Song Yi, she became concerned about Jin Hengzhu's marriage. "Hengzhu, you have been getting along with Xiuzhen these days. What is your impression of her?"
When Jin Hengzhu expressed that he was very satisfied with Cui Xiuzhen as his fiancée, Zhou Shulan looked relieved, "Since both parties are relatively satisfied, then get married early. Have children early while you are still young. You should learn from Xiaoyi. With a good family like yours, you should have two more children to pass on your excellent genes."
When Jin Hengzhu heard Zhou Shulan say this, he looked at Song Yi. He didn't dare to learn from Song Yi. Song Yi only had Tae Hee as his wife in public, and secretly had two concubines, Jin Xiyuan and Son Yezhen. If Chen Fuzhen who lived in Puhai was included, Song Yi already had four wives. If he found a concubine, he felt that Cui Xiuzhen would fight him to death.
Jin Xiyuan was still staying at St. Mary's Hospital in London. Song Yi's eldest daughter Song Yuanzhu was born in this hospital. Jin Xiyuan was very happy to see Song Yi, "Honey, I thought you would arrive tomorrow, but I didn't expect you to arrive early. I heard that you gained a lot from this trip to Europe?"
Song Yi didn't know what Jin Xiyuan was referring to. The biggest gain from this trip to Europe was Zhang Enying's ally. Zhang Enying had revealed the details of Dong-A Group and Choi Won-seok to him these days, and Song Yi already had a plan to acquire Dong-A Ilbo.
In order to alleviate Choi Won-suk's resistance, if SA Group successfully acquires Dong-A Ilbo, Song Yi decides to push Jang Eun-young to the surface and let Jang Eun-young and Choi Soo-jin, mother and daughter, become the largest individual shareholders of Dong-A Ilbo.
"I came to Europe to watch a game and earned some money for our son's milk powder. In order to facilitate your and Taixi's travel, I ordered two Falcon 7Xs from Dassault. They will be delivered around this time next year, and it will be much more convenient for you to fly to Europe in the future." Song Yi said.
Zhou Shulan was a little confused when she heard the name "Falcon 7X". "What falcon? Why do you want to buy a falcon? Falcons are state-protected animals and cannot be bought or sold."
When Jin Xiyuan heard Zhou Shulan say this, she was amused by Zhou Shulan, "Mom, the Falcon 7X is not an animal, it is a private plane, a private plane similar to the Tae Hee, you are so funny."
After Zhou Shulan understood, she couldn't help laughing, "I thought Xiaoyi wanted to buy a falcon. Last time I took a plane and transferred in Dubai, I found that those Arab princes like to raise falcons, which look like eagles. These falcons have special seats when they are on the plane, and each falcon's eyes are blindfolded. I was stunned at the time. This is the first time I see someone buying a plane ticket for a bird."
There are many wealthy people from the Middle East living in London, and Jin Xiyuan also knows the extravagant lifestyle of these oil sheikhs. "Mom, these falcons are not cheap, each one is worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, no less than a supercar. Last time, a Middle Eastern consortium approached our club and was ready to buy Manchester United for 1.5 billion pounds. The buyer raised a valuable falcon, which was worth 6 million dollars."
Zhou Shulan was secretly shocked and warned her son Song Yi, "A bird is worth 6 million US dollars, which can buy a house in the best community in Yanjing. Xiaoyi, you must not buy such things in the future. In your father's words, this is called playing with things and losing one's ambition. In the past, the children of the Eight Banners had nothing to do, so they liked to carry bird cages and stroll around."
Jin Xiyuan did not forget to complain to Zhou Shulan, "Mom, the Falcon 7X business jet that Song Yi bought is not cheap. One Falcon 7X is at least 300 million, and two is 600 million. Even if it is the most expensive falcon, you can buy more than ten. Playing with airplanes costs much more than playing with birds."
When Song Yi heard Jin Xiyuan say this, he glared at her, but Jin Xiyuan was not afraid and asked Zhou Shulan for help, "Mom, Song Yi glared at me and blamed me for complaining."
When Zhou Shulan heard Jin Xiyuan say this, she patted Song Yi and said, "What's wrong? You are getting more and more ignorant as you grow older. Your wife worked so hard in the hospital to give birth to your child, and she hasn't seen you for years. You still have the nerve to be mean to her? What, is she wrong?"
Facing his mother Zhou Shulan, Song Yi could only give in. "I'm not mean to her. Xiyuan is a meritorious official of our Song family. How dare I be mean to her? I took into consideration that Manchester United often goes to various European countries to play games, and Xiyuan often needs to watch games with the team. It would be more convenient to buy her a plane. When the baby is born, it will be more convenient for her to go back to Seoul or Beijing."
Zhou Shulan also felt sorry for Kim Hee-won. Kim Tae-hee was in Seoul, Son Ye-jin was in Hong Kong Island, and Chen Fuzhen was in Puhai. Only Kim Hee-won was far away in England. England was a place she was unfamiliar with. Kim Hee-won had to manage a football club as big as Manchester United by herself, so she had no objection to equipping her with a plane.
"I support you buying a private jet for Xiyuan. Isn't one enough? Why buy two? The Tae Hee you bought before is usually only used by you and Tae Hee. Isn't one plane enough? I know you can make money, but you spend money like water. No matter how much money you have, it won't stop you from spending like this." Zhou Shulan couldn't help but grumble.
Zhou Shulan actually only said half of her words. You are buying a private jet for Tae Hee and Hee Won this time, so do you want to buy one for Son Ye Jin and Chen Fu Jin?
Chen Fuzhen is the eldest princess of Samsung Group. She comes from a wealthy family and has been traveling on her father Chen Jianxi's private jet since she was a child. Chen Fuzhen is now the president of SA Cultural Tourism Group. It is impossible for her to continue using Chen Jianxi's private jet. Aren't you afraid that Chen Fuzhen will have some ideas?
Song Yi bought two houses for Chen Fuzhen in Puhai City, one is a large flat in Tomson Yipin and the other is a villa in Tan Palace. Because the Tan Palace villa needs to be renovated, Chen Fuzhen and Chen Yuanzhong basically live in Tomson Yipin community this year. Chen Yuanzhong will attend an international kindergarten in Puhai City in the second half of the year.
Chen Fuzhen is a very good person. When she went to Yanjing to discuss a project, she took her son Chen Yuanzhong to Lijing Garden to visit her mother-in-law Zhou Shulan, as well as Liao Yu and her daughter.
When Zhou Shulan saw Chen Fuzhen and her son, she was at a loss as to what to do. She didn't know how to entertain them or how to address Chen Fuzhen.
Chen Fuzhen was very polite. As soon as she entered the door, she bowed to Zhou Shulan and said hello, "Hello, auntie. I brought Yuanzhong to visit you."
Zhou Shulan already knew Chen Yuanzhong's background. When she heard Chen Fuzhen call her like that, she felt a little regretful. "Welcome, Yuanzhong. Do you still recognize me?"
Chen Yuanzhong looked at Chen Fuzhen in confusion. Although he had met Zhou Shulan when he was a child, he had no memory of her anymore.
Chen Fuzhen touched her son's little head and said, "Call me grandma."
Chen Yuanzhong greeted in a crisp voice, "Hello, grandma!"
When Zhou Shulan heard Chen Yuanzhong calling her "Grandma", she was so excited that tears almost came out. Her long-cherished wish had finally come true. "Good boy, good boy, you are so good. Grandma has some Lego at home. Can I give it to you to play with?"
Chen Yuanzhong glanced at Chen Fuzhen, who nodded. A smile appeared on Chen Yuanzhong's little face. "Thank you, grandma. Thank you, mommy."
When Liao Yu heard that Chen Fuzhen had come to Lijing Garden, she took her daughter Song Miao back home after dealing with the New Asia Advertising matter.
Song Miao was surprised to see Chen Fuzhen, so he nodded and greeted Chen Fuzhen, "Hello, Aunt Fuzhen! Are you free to come to my house today?"
Chen Fuzhen saw Song Miao's little adult look and smiled. "Miaomiao, I'm working in the mainland now and live in Puhai all year round. Next time you come to Puhai, remember to call Auntie and come to Auntie's house as a guest. Remember?"
Song Miao was a little surprised. "Has Aunt Fuzhen come to the mainland to work? Has the Shilla Hotel opened a branch in Puhai?"
Chen Fuzhen only has one son, Chen Yuanzhong. In fact, she also wants to have a well-behaved and sensible daughter. She shook her head and said, "No, I am now the president of SA Cultural Tourism Group. Like your mother, I also work in your uncle's company. We will be a family in the future. You have to say good things about me in front of your uncle, otherwise your uncle will deduct my salary."
When Liao Yu heard Chen Fuzhen's words, she felt weak in her heart. Chen Fuzhen was Song Yi's woman. Chen Fuzhen's words "same as your mother" were she hinting that she knew about the relationship between Liao Yu and Song Yi? Song Miao was deeply impressed by Chen Fuzhen's son Chen Yuanzhong. "Aunt Fuzhen, you came to the mainland to work and left Yuanzhong alone in Seoul? He left his mother at such a young age. Wouldn't he be too lonely?"
Chen Fuzhen was amused by Song Miao. "Yuanzhong and I came to live in the mainland together. He will go to kindergarten in Puhai in the second half of the year. Your grandmother just brought him a set of Lego toys. Do you want to go and play with your brother for a while?"
After Zhou Shulan got the Lego for Chen Yuanzhong, she came back to find Chen Fuzhen. She was very happy to see Liao Yu, "Xiaoyu, Fuzhen and Yuanzhong rarely come to visit us today. Should we go out for a meal? Please give Tanjiacai at Yanjing Hotel a call and ask them to reserve a private room for us."
Chen Fuzhen knew that Zhou Shulan wanted to give them a grand reception, but she didn't want Chen Yuanzhong to show up in public too early.
"Aunt, we are all family, there is no need to be so polite. I've heard from Song Yi that your cooking skills are excellent. I brought Yuanzhong here today just to let him taste grandma's cooking. Do you think it's convenient?" Chen Fucheng asked sincerely.
Zhou Shulan felt very relieved when she heard Chen Fuzhen say that. She couldn't hide her smile. "It's convenient. What's inconvenient about it? You're right. Yuanzhong is coming to visit our home. As a grandmother, I must cook a delicious meal. The food at Tanjiajia is indeed delicious, but it doesn't taste like home. Does Yuanzhong have any dietary restrictions?"
"Yuanzhong has no dietary restrictions. He just came to Puhai and quickly adapted to Puhai's eating habits. Cook light dishes for him without too much oil. If possible, please stir-fry one or two green leafy vegetables for him." Chen Fuzhen felt Zhou Shulan's enthusiasm and sighed that she had come to the right place today.
Zhou Shulan happily went to cook, leaving Liao Yu and Chen Fuzhen to chat in the living room. In addition to being the chairman of the board of directors of New Asia Advertising, Liao Yu also helps Song Yi manage his personal assets in the mainland, including the Song Yi Family Trust Fund.
Liao Yu said that Song Yi had added Chen Fuzhen and her son to the list of beneficiaries of the Song Yi Family Trust Fund very early on. The most important thing about the Song Yi Family Trust Fund is its holdings in mainland Internet companies. Song Yi has successively transferred the equity of Penguin, Alibaba, Baidu, and NetEase to the name of the Song Yi Family Trust Fund.
In Song Yi's words, even if the SA Group went bankrupt one day, or Song Yi was gone, Song Yi's women or children could still live a life of wealth and leisure.
Chen Fuzhen heard Liao Yu say, "Even though Song Yi has become the richest man in South Korea with a net worth of over 10 billion US dollars, he still has a strong sense of crisis. It seems that the Seoul mass shooting in 2003 has left a lot of psychological trauma on Song Yi."
Liao Yu nodded. "China can be said to be the safest country in the world, and the gun ban is also enforced very thoroughly. The situation in South Korea is more complicated. Until now, there are still many people who want to kill Song Yi."
"Have you noticed that Song Yi hasn't been to the United States in the past two years? In his words, he was afraid that the Americans would suddenly take action against him, detain him in the United States, and then force him to dismember the SA Group to help American giant companies establish technological hegemony in the world," said Liao Yu.
"South Korea's chaebols are all dependent on others, and they all rely on Wall Street capital. SA Group has so many high-quality assets, but it is unwilling to open its arms to Wall Street capital. Taking people's money is like killing their parents. No wonder others hate it so much. However, many young Koreans support Song Yi and think that SA Group is a true national enterprise." Chen Fuzhen said.
When Liao Yu heard the term "Korean national enterprise", she felt strange. SA Group is mainly divided into Korean business and mainland business. Although the two belong to the same group company, the company's assets have been isolated. Xinya Network and Xinya Advertising were listed on the Hong Kong stock market through the VIE structure.
SA Group enjoys the income and assets of New Asia Network and New Asia Advertising. The operation and management of New Asia Network and New Asia Advertising are the responsibility of the mainland subsidiaries, which do not need to report separately to the SA Group Board of Directors.
Seeing Chen Fuzhen coming to visit, Liao Yu restrained her previous arrogance and was completely different from Chen Fuzhen in Seoul. She was very polite to her mother-in-law Zhou Shulan and sister-in-law Liao Yu, just like a newly married daughter-in-law, and immediately won the recognition of the Song family.
She now feels a little tricky. Chen Fuzhen came to reveal her identity this time because she wanted Chen Yuanzhong to recognize his ancestry and let the Song family accept Chen Yuanzhong as their grandson.
The problem now is that Chen Yuanzhong is Song Yi’s first son, and Kim Tae-hee’s son Song Yuanhao is Song Yi’s eldest son.
Previously, Chen Fuzhen had never made her identity clear, and Chen Fuzhen had no idea about Kim Tae-hee's position as the main wife. Now that Zhou Shulan has recognized Chen Yuanzhong as her grandson, it is a question whether Chen Fuzhen is willing to continue to be Song Yi's lover.
In addition to Song Yuanhao, the existence of Chen Yuanzhong also threatened Song Yuanlong's inheritance rights. Song Yi had already made arrangements to leave SA's mainland assets to Song Miao and Song Yuanlong.
Son Ye-jin can't help Song Yi in his career, and her family background is far inferior to Chen Fuzhen. If Chen Fuzhen wants to compete with Son Ye-jin, then Son Ye-jin will be beaten by Chen Fuzhen.
Song Yi has transferred his shares in SA Tourism Group to Chen Fuzhen as compensation to make up for her loss of Samsung shares. If Chen Fuzhen manages SA Tourism Group very well, Song Yi may hand over SA Group's mainland assets to Chen Fuzhen. If Chen Fuzhen takes over, it is unknown whether Song Yuanlong can still get half of SA Group's mainland assets.
Liao Yu felt that Chen Fuzhen was not satisfied with the position of SA Culture and Tourism Group President, but Chen Fuzhen, who had just arrived, chose to stay dormant for a while. She must hope to play a more important role in SA Group. After all, among all the women in Song Yi, Chen Fuzhen's business talent was the best, no matter whether it was the Kim Hee-won sisters or Son Ye-jin, they could not compare.
So when Zhou Shulan was preparing to go to the UK to take care of Jin Xiyuan who was about to give birth, Liao Yu specifically asked her mother-in-law Zhou Shulan to ask Song Yi what he thought so that she could make arrangements early.
"Mom, my sister-in-law said Fu Zhen wants to manage SA Group's China business?" Song Yi asked Zhou Shulan.
"The management of SA Real Estate, New Asia Advertising, New Asia Network and SA Culture and Tourism are doing a great job. SA Group does not need to set up a separate SA Group Greater China. Fu Zhen should first do a good job of SA Culture and Tourism Group. She is not the type of person who is too ambitious." Song Yi said with certainty.
"Mom, don't worry. Fu Jin and Tae Hee have a pretty good relationship and she will give Tae Hee minimum respect. But based on Fu Jin's personality, she may not give face to Hee Won or Ye Jin. I hope Fu Jin and Ye Jin don't meet each other, otherwise if they start fighting, I don't know who to help." Song Yi felt a headache when he thought of Chen Fu Jin's arrogant personality.
Zhou Shulan was so angry that she pinched Song Yi's arm, "Who can I blame for this? It's you! You caused this romantic debt yourself, so you have to pay it back yourself!"
Song Yi felt that what Liao Yu said made sense, so he decided to go back to Puhai to appease Chen Fuzhen, who was trying to get promoted. As the wife of the chairman of SA Group, Kim Tae-hee was already low-key enough and did not have a strong presence in the group. If Chen Fuzhen frequently showed her presence in SA Group, what would Kim Tae-hee think? Chen Fuzhen had already signed a tripartite cooperation framework agreement on behalf of SA Cultural Tourism Group, Walt Disney Company, and Puhai Municipal Government. After several rounds of negotiations, Puhai Disneyland was officially confirmed to be located in Puhai.
The three major shareholders of Puhai Disneyland are Puhai Shendi Group, Walt Disney Company and SA Culture and Tourism Group, with shareholding ratios of 51%, 41% and 8% respectively. SA Culture and Tourism Group will provide financing support for Puhai Disneyland, and SA Bank has provided a special loan support of US$2 billion for the Puhai Disneyland project. The entire Puhai Disneyland project is expected to be completed in five years and will officially open to the public in 2013. The total investment in the entire project is about US$4 billion.
In addition to participating in the Disneyland project, SA Culture and Tourism Group will invest in the construction of an AXA Disney theme hotel in Disney Town. The hotel will be jointly invested and constructed by SA Culture and Tourism Group and Walt Disney Park. SA Culture and Tourism Group will be the main investor and contribute 75%. After the hotel is completed, it will be managed by Puhai Disneyland.
Chen Fuzhen has just taken office as the president of SA Culture and Tourism, and she has secured such a big project for the company. It can be said that she has made a good start. Song Yi originally wanted to recommend Chen Fuzhen to join the SA Group Board of Directors to reward her, but considering Liao Yu's suggestion, he decided to wait. If Chen Fuzhen becomes a director of the SA Group, it will make Kim Tae-hee feel more threatened.
If Kim Tae-hee realizes that Chen Fuzhen and her son may threaten Song Yuanhao's future inheritance of SA Group, then the confrontation and conflict between Kim Tae-hee and Chen Fuzhen will be inevitable. In order to avoid a fire in his own backyard, Song Yi has to think of a way to make Chen Fuzhen less aggressive.
On July 20, Kim Hee-won gave birth to a son for Song Yi at St. Mary's Hospital, and Song Yi was named Song Yuanheng. After Liao Yu, Kim Tae-hee and Son Ye-jin learned the good news, they all called Kim Hee-won to congratulate her, but Chen Fuzhen, who also received the news, did not express anything, as if she had no idea about it. Thank you all for your monthly tickets, see you tomorrow.
