But it is 2000 after all, and 500,000 yuan can buy a 100-square-meter three-bedroom house in Yanjing or Puhai City. From this perspective, the annual salary offered to Song Yi by large advertising companies such as First Planning is very attractive, and in Korean companies, when the performance is good, the project bonus is even higher than the annual salary.

Jin Xuezheng joked with Song Yi, "Director Song, have you ever considered changing your work environment? As long as you come over, the position of brand director of Jeju Development Corporation will be reserved for you, and we can grant you a special piece of land in Jeju Island for building a house."

When Song Yi heard what Jin Xuezheng said, he laughed. He raised his glass to toast Jin Xuezheng, "President Jin, such a private topic should be brought up when two people are together. If Miss Tae Hee and Xiu Na tell tales, my year-end bonus at Shinhan will be gone."

Kim Tae-hee is eating flounder fin sushi. The chef's precise knife skills have removed the tendons of the fish fins. Even without being grilled, one can still feel the smooth texture and unique aroma of the fish fillets.

The chefs in Japanese restaurants will prepare the ingredients on the spot and then explain to the customers the sources and methods of the ingredients. When she heard Song Yi using her to help her out, she couldn't help but glare at him.

Jin Xuezheng now felt that Song Yi was an amazing person. Even though he was cleverly rejected by Song Yi, he was not angry. "Director Song is right. I will punish myself with a drink."

Just as Song Yi and the other two were enjoying their meal, a beautiful young woman in her thirties walked in. She was wearing a black suit with a white shirt underneath, and her professional attire was very capable. Her black shoulder-length hair and white pearl earrings gave her a high-class and cool look that made people feel like they should stay away from her.

She glanced around the restaurant and noticed Jin Xuezheng. She walked over to greet him without much haste. "Long time no see, President Jin."

Jin Xuezheng also noticed it, and without even bothering to eat, he stood up and greeted her, "Hello, President Chen." Jin Xuezheng introduced the young woman's identity in a boastful manner, "Director Song, Miss Jin, this is President Chen Fuzhen of Shilla Hotel."

Before Song Yi was reborn, he had read many reports about Chen Fuzhen on newspaper websites and had also seen her photos. Chen Fuzhen was actually better looking in person than in the photos, with a very good figure. Even when standing next to a beauty like Kim Tae-hee, she was not inferior, but had the beauty of a newlywed young woman.

Chen Fuzhen looked at Song Yi and Kim Tae Hee, waiting for Kim Hak Jung to introduce their identities. Kim Hak Jung leaned forward and began to introduce, "President Chen, this is Song Yi, the executive director of Shinhan Media, and Miss Kim Tae Hee, the spokesperson for our Samdasu."

Chen Fuzhen's beautiful eyes moved around, and she looked at Song Yi from top to bottom. She took the initiative to extend her right hand, "Director Song, nice to meet you."

Chen Fuzhen said to Jin Xuezheng: "President Jin, you don't know. President Jin Zaichan of Shinhan Media is the son of my second uncle, and I also know the former managing director Jin Nanyong of Shinhan Media."

When Samsung Group was split up, Chen Jae-chan was assigned to Shinhan Media. After Shinhan Media experienced the Asian financial crisis, the company's business went from bad to worse. Chen Jae-chan later lost face and asked Chen Jianxi for help, but Chen Jianxi did not help him and asked him to sell the company to Samsung's First Planning.

Now that Shinhan Media has turned a profit, Kim Nam-yong has been kicked out of the company, and Song Yi has taken over Kim Nam-yong's position. Chen Fuzhen knows that Song Yi is the key person to save Shinhan, so she is a little curious about him.

Chen Fuzhen pretended to be casual and asked, "It seems that President Jin and Executive Director Song are very familiar with each other. Then the report on Daum should not be groundless. Miss Kim Tae-hee should have known Executive Director Song for a long time, right?"

Song Yi instantly felt that Chen Fuzhen was a bit difficult to deal with, and his operation was not without loopholes. As long as he checked who sent the Nongshim water to Kim Tae-hee's dormitory and whether Kim Tae-hee had visited Shinhan Media before signing the contract with Sam Da-su, many problems could be revealed.

However, Song Yi was not worried. It was 2000 and the surveillance network was not that developed. As long as Song Yi insisted on what he said at the press conference, the media reporters would not be able to dig up anything substantial.

Song Yi replied, "President Kim and Ms. Kim Tae-hee and I have not known each other for long. We also met because of the Samdasu advertisement. But we have an idiom in China called "at first sight, it's like old friends", which means that when you meet for the first time, it feels like you are old friends. Just like when I first met President Chen, I felt very compatible with him, just like we were friends who I had known for a long time."

When Kim Tae-hee heard Song Yi say this, she opened her mouth in surprise. She already knew Chen Fuzhen's identity. She was the eldest princess of Samsung Group, the largest chaebol in South Korea. Song Yi's words were a bit ambiguous and really a bit rude.

Chen Fuzhen glanced at Kim Tae-hee again and said, "Ms. Kim Tae-hee is so beautiful. I heard she is a top student at Seoul University. No wonder Executive Director Song worked so hard on the Samdasoo advertisement."

After Chen Fuzhen finished joking, she said goodbye to the three people without waiting for a response, "President Jin, Executive Director Song, Miss Tae Hee, I have something to do here, so I'll take my leave first. Please enjoy your meal."

When Kim Tae-hee heard Chen Fuzhen's hint, she had no time to explain and could only say goodbye to Chen Fuzhen politely.

Jin Xuezheng seemed to have not heard Chen Fuzhen's subtext, because Chen Fuzhen hinted that Song Yi had a crush on Kim Tae-hee. Song Yi was the producer of the Samdasu advertisement, and Kim Tae-hee was the spokesperson for the Samdasu advertisement. If Song Yi and Kim Tae-hee developed feelings for each other during the filming of the advertisement, then Song Yi and Kim Tae-hee would have behaved very unprofessionally.

Because Shinhan may continue to produce Samdasoo ads, and Kim Tae-hee may continue to endorse Samdasoo. If Song Yi continues to be the producer of Samdasoo ads, then in order to win the favor of Kim Tae-hee, Song Yi may significantly increase Kim Tae-hee's endorsement fee, which will undoubtedly infringe on the interests of the brand Samdasoo.

From this we can see that Chen Fuzhen is indeed not an easy person to deal with. While chatting casually for a few minutes, she did not forget to sow discord between Song Yi and the brand.

Jin Xuezheng said to Song Yi: "We have initially occupied the market in Seoul, and the next step is to distribute it nationwide. However, the Korean market is so small, and the development of Samdasoo is outside, not inside."

"Director Song is Chinese. China's economy has developed rapidly in recent years. China's rich people also need high-quality natural mineral water. Have you, Shinhan, considered developing advertising business in China? If Shinhan opens a branch in China, Director Song will be the most suitable person in charge. We at Samda Su also want to maintain a long-term cooperative relationship with Shinhan." said Jin Xuezheng.

Song Yi has also considered this issue. The advertising market in South Korea is very competitive. Each major conglomerate has its own advertising company. Samsung has First Planning, Hyundai Motor has Innocean, and LG Group has LG Advertising.

Jin Xuezheng said that Samdasu's way out lies outside, not inside, and must rely on China's vast market, and the same is true for Shinhan Media. Shinhan Media has always been in a loss-making state and has no way to open a branch or set up an office in China.

Now that Shinhan Media has started to make a profit, it can indeed consider opening a branch in Yanjing or Puhai City to carry out advertising business.

The branch's business is very clear, building a bridge of communication between Chinese and Korean companies. Whether Korean brands want to enter the mainland market or mainland companies want to enter the Korean market, Shinhan can provide a package of brand promotion solutions.

If a branch company was really set up, Song Yi would naturally be the best candidate for the general manager of the branch company. However, Song Yi would need to do everything personally to build this branch company from scratch and from small to large.

If the equity structure of the branch company is the same as that of Shinhan Media, with Chen Jae-chan holding the majority and Song Yi holding the minority, Song Yi would certainly not be willing to work so hard only to end up working for others.

It would be better for Song Yi to wait until he receives the company's dividends at the end of the year, then leave Xinhan, start his own business, return to the mainland and open an advertising company, and then take over the Korean companies' advertising business in the mainland.

So the question now is whether Chen Zaican is willing to give up power and profits and let Song Yi hold controlling stake in the branch company in China. This will test whether Chen Zaican has the tolerance to tolerate others. 　The second update is completed. The important female supporting role Chen Fuzhen has made her debut. There will be a test push next week. Please give me recommendation votes, monthly votes and follow-up reading. Hulu thanks all the big guys!
