Now the South Korean team lost to Turkey 2-3 and unfortunately missed the third place in the World Cup. Two of the goals were related to Song Jong-guk on the back line. The indignant Koreans naturally wanted to pursue Song Jong-guk relentlessly.

Originally, after the game, coach Hiddink booked a nightclub in Gyeongju and invited all the players and coaching staff to the nightclub to celebrate South Korea's advancement to the World Cup semi-finals.

Korean fans regard all members of the Korean team as "national heroes". South Korea will hold a series of celebrations to commend the Korean team for their great contributions to the country.

On July 2, Seoul will hold a grand parade, and on July 3, South Korean President Chung Hyo-tong will invite all the team members to dinner. In addition, the team members will receive cars sponsored by Samsung Electronics, Hyundai Motor, and SK Group, bonuses, and other gifts.

Before the start of the World Cup, the South Korean team was ranked 40th in FIFA, the third from the bottom among the 32 teams participating in the World Cup. Only Saudi Arabia and China were ranked lower than South Korea. When FIFA re-announces the rankings next Wednesday, South Korea's ranking is expected to soar to 15th.

In addition, in order to recognize the great contribution of the Korean team, the Korean government decided to exempt all Korean players from military service. According to past practice, only Korean athletes who won the Olympic or Asian Games championships could be exempted from military service.

Now that Dispatch has revealed that Song Jong-guk went to a nightclub to have fun during the game, angry Korean people have left messages on the official website of the Blue House, petitioning for the national team to expel Song Jong-guk, which has put the Korean Football Association in an embarrassing situation.

The question now is, if the Football Association expel Song Jong-guk from the national team, will Song Jong-guk still be exempted from military service, and will he still be given the car and bonus? But putting aside other things, at least Song Jong-guk will definitely miss the Seoul parade and the presidential dinner.

When the D agency's revelations came out, Song Jong Kook panicked. The bar and hotel he went to were very secluded, and the hotel has always paid attention to protecting the privacy of its guests. He didn't know why someone would take pictures of him partying in a bar and taking two beauties to a hotel room.

He had a vague feeling that he was being framed, and it all seemed to be related to Cui Shanji. He wanted to contact Cui Shanji and ask her why she framed him, but unfortunately he didn't even have Cui Shanji's contact information.

Song Jong-guk is now desperate and has tried every possible means to find his teammate Park Ji-sung and try to contact Kim Hee-won, hoping to find out what happened.

Park Ji-sung was very embarrassed when he heard Song Jong-guk's request, because he knew that Kim Hee-won didn't like Song Jong-guk. However, due to his teammates' feelings, he still helped to contact Kim Hee-won.

Unexpectedly, not long after Park Ji-sung called, Kim Hee-won's secretary answered the call and just asked to help convey the message.

Park Ji-sung breathed a sigh of relief. He had tried his best, and there was nothing he could do if Kim Hee-won was unwilling to help.

Park Ji-sung guessed some inside information, but it had nothing to do with him. Park Ji-sung would not sympathize with Song Jong-guk, and calling him was already a great favor.

You know, now the other members of the South Korean team are very dissatisfied with Song Jong-guk, thinking that he has no sense of the overall situation.

If the South Korean team can beat Turkey, Song Yi will reward the South Korean team with a winning bonus of 5 million US dollars, Lee Eul-yong and Ahn Jung-hwan can get a goal bonus of 1 million US dollars, and Park Ji-sung, who assisted, can also get 500,000 US dollars.

Now that the South Korean team lost to Turkey, Park Ji-sung lost about $500,000 in prize money, which can buy a nice apartment in Seoul. How could Park Ji-sung not have complaints about Song Jong-kook?

Song Jong-guk felt a chill in his heart. He actually guessed that he had "unintentionally" offended Kim Hee-won, so Choi Sun-hee set up a plan to help Kim Hee-won.

He originally thought that since he was not in the entertainment industry, it would not be a big deal even if he offended Jin Xiyuan. But before Jin Xiyuan could even make a move, someone else used a little trick to pin him to the ground.

Song Jong-guk did not dare to tell the media that others deliberately framed him. After all, he himself could not resist the temptation and indeed violated the Korean team's access control system. He had a girlfriend but still went out to have fun.

He no longer expected to marry Kim Jung-ah, and he was now considering whether to spend money to silence Kim Jung-ah and ask her to make a public statement saying that they had broken up before the World Cup. After all, in South Korea, where the entertainment industry is well developed, it is not a big deal for men to go to nightclubs for fun.

During the Korea-Japan World Cup, the South Korean team not only achieved a good result of reaching the semi-finals, but also attracted more than 300,000 foreign tourists to watch the game, making South Korea earn a lot of money.

During the World Cup, in order to earn money from foreign tourists, nightclubs will let the young and beautiful ladies in the store change into the team uniforms of different countries, let them accompany the guests to drink and watch the games, and finally spend a good night together.

During the entire competition, there were nearly 50,000 brothels in South Korea, and at least 330,000 Korean women became hostesses. They created 24 trillion won of hidden income for South Korea, accounting for about 4% of South Korea's GDP in 2002. If Song Jong-kook was single, he only needed to come forward and sincerely apologize, and the Korean Football Association announced that he would temporarily leave the team, and this storm might have passed. When the Korean Football Association recruited Song Jong-kook to join the team again in the Athens Olympics or the German World Cup, the forgetful Koreans would have basically forgiven Song Jong-kook and thought he should be given a chance to redeem himself.

Choi Sun-hee had already thought of what Song Jong-guk could think of. How could she let Song Jong-guk get away so easily?

On the afternoon of July 30, Song Jong Kook’s girlfriend Kim Jung-ah was interviewed by reporters in Busan. In the interview, she said that Song Jong Kook had deceived her feelings and had cheated on her before. Later, Song Jong Kook apologized to her and promised not to do it again. Later, she softened her heart and forgave Song Jong Kook.

Song Jong-kook called her and said he missed her very much, and said he would buy a house in Busan and get engaged to her after the World Cup. But he left the Paju training base and went to a nightclub with two beauties. Such a man is really unreliable. She has recognized Song Jong-kook's philandering nature and will never forgive him. She now announces that she has officially broken up with Song Jong-kook.

As soon as Kim Jung-ah's interview came out, it directly hammered Song Jong-guk to death. Only then did the Korean people know that Song Jong-guk had a history of cheating before, and this time Song Jong-guk's cheating was even worse. The pitiful Kim Jung-ah won the overwhelming support of the Korean people, and even an advertising company was interested in inviting Kim Jung-ah to star in an advertisement.

After listening to Jin Xiyuan's report, Song Yi was a little dazed. He didn't expect that Jin Xiyuan and Cui Shanji would team up to press the main defender of the South Korean national team to the ground. It turned out that you couldn't offend a woman! "I was wondering why D agency suddenly reported the news of Song Zhongguo's cheating. It turned out that you helped to thread the needle. But why didn't you tell me that Song Zhongguo offended you? I'll say hello to Uncle Meng Zhun, and he won't be able to join the national team in the future. If he loses his status as a member of the national team, I have plenty of ways to slowly deal with him." Song Yi said.

"I know you will stand up for me, but if I let President Zhou Mengzhun come forward, I'm afraid that people will say you are bullying others and it will damage your reputation."

"So Sister Shan Ji said she has a way, and I will help her. You won't blame me, right?" Jin Xiyuan was afraid that Song Yi would blame her for acting on her own.

"Was it your idea to invite Kim Jung-ah to star in the commercial? If Kim Jung-ah starred in the commercial produced by New Korea Media, she would easily be noticed." Song Yi said.

"How could Shinhan Media invite Kim Jung-ah to shoot an advertisement? It was a local company in Busan that invited her to shoot the advertisement. They also wanted to take advantage of Kim Jung-ah's popularity." Of course, Kim Hee-won would not make this mistake. Neither she nor Choi Sun-hee would contact Kim Jung-ah directly.

Song Yi told Jin Xiyuan, "Through this incident, I think it is necessary for Xinya Media Real Estate Group to set up a public relations department. Since Sister Shan Ji wants to work outside, she can be the group's public relations director."

For any large conglomerate, controlling and influencing public opinion is a very important link. PR is a long-term, strategic, and systematic work, not just a simple publicity and promotion of the company.

The reason why Song Yi did not set up a dedicated PR team before was because he had not found suitable management talents. Since Cui Shanji has talent in this area, he might as well use her first.

Cui Shanji was very excited when she received Jin Xiyuan's call. She really made the right bet this time. She agreed very happily and said that after Song Yi and his friends came back from Japan, they could go to Xinya Media Real Estate Group to complete the entry procedures.

Jin Xiyuan walked into the room and found Song Yi answering the phone. She closed the door and waited for Song Yi in the conference room outside the suite.

It turned out that the person who called Song Yi this time was Seo Ju-hyun. June 28 was Seo Ju-hyun's birthday, and Song Yi ordered a red strawberry cake for her and had it delivered to the SM Entertainment Building.

Seo Ju-hyun was very happy at that time. She was waiting for Song Yi to go to SM Entertainment to share the cake together. However, Song Yi, who was too busy, did not show up in the end, which made Seo Ju-hyun disappointed for a long time.

When she learned from her mother Liu Huiying that Song Yi was going on a business trip to Japan, Xu Zhuxian finally couldn't help but asked Liu Huiying to call Song Yi.

"Hello, Brother Song Yi." Even through the phone, Xu Xianxian greeted seriously.

"It's Joo-hyun. Is there anything happy you want to share with me?" Song Yi asked.

It's true that Xu Zhuxian has a lot to share with Song Yi. For example, a very beautiful trainee named Lin Yuner came to SM Entertainment. Like Xu Zhuxian, she is from Seoul. The two girls of similar age quickly became good friends who could talk about anything.

She rarely saw Kim Hyo-yeon recently. She heard that Kim Hyo-yeon had plastic surgery. She couldn't understand why women would agree to doctors operating on their faces just to be beautiful. Even if the doctor gave her an anesthetic injection, it would still be painful after the surgery.

And according to Zhuo Yingjun, Kim Hyo-yeon's plastic surgery was not a one-time operation, and she had several micro plastic surgeries until Kim Hyo-yeon's debut. She admired Kim Hyo-yeon's courage, and she and Lin Yuna had agreed not to have plastic surgery.

She really liked the cake Song Yi ordered for her, but the cake Song Yi ordered was too big. In the end, she could only invite the brothers from TVXQ and SJ to help share the cake.

In addition to the cake, she also liked the birthday gift Song Yi gave her, the Disney bear Duffy. She had seen Duffy at Tokyo DisneySea and wanted to buy one at that time, but the same doll was not on sale yet. Unexpectedly, Song Yi made her dream come true.

By the way, she also met a trainee from China at SM Entertainment this time, named Han Geng. Han Geng had graduated from a mainland university and now returned to SM Entertainment for professional training.

Song Yi patiently listened to Seo Ju Hyun's story about what happened in SM Entertainment. He could not believe that Seo Ju Hyun actually knew so many inside stories about SM Entertainment. Could it be that Lee Soo Man or Kim Young Min did not intend to hide it from Seo Ju Hyun? Or did Zhu Yingjun intentionally pass the news to him through Seo Ju Hyun? Finally, Seo Ju Hyun generously said, "Brother Song Yi, although you did not spend my birthday with me this year, I will forgive you for the sake of the cake and Duffy. Don't worry, I will definitely prepare a gift for you on your birthday. I will start saving my pocket money now."

Song Yi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but it felt good to be remembered by the little girl Xu Zhuxian. "Thank you, little Xu Zhuxian. I will go to SM Entertainment to see you when I have time."

Liu Huiying picked up the phone. She didn't expect that her daughter Xu Zhuxian and Song Yi could talk for so long. Thinking that this was an international call, she felt a little sorry for the call bill.

"Song Yi, everything is fine with Joo Hyun. Remember not to buy such an expensive birthday present next time. There are rumors in SM Entertainment that Joo Hyun is the daughter of a chaebol family, which is not conducive to her integration into the team."

Duffy is a popular doll that has just been released by Tokyo DisneySea. A single doll has been sold for more than 2 million won in Seoul. In addition, Song Yi once used a Rolls-Royce Silver Angel to pick up and drop off Seo Joo-hyun and her daughter, so it is not surprising that SM Entertainment has such rumors.

SM Entertainment's trainees know that Seo Ju-hyun has a special status and cannot be offended. Now Seo Ju-hyun has a nickname "SM Entertainment's Little Princess". When Seo Ju-hyun has a birthday, she invites all the trainees in the company to help her celebrate, which is a reflection of her transcendent status.

"I understand. I won't do it again next time. I have something to do here, so I'll hang up now. Let's have dinner together when I return to China." Song Yi told Liu Huiying that Masayoshi Son had sent a driver to pick him up at the hotel.

Liu Huiying was somewhat helpless. She knew that Song Yi was just talking. A gift worth several million won was really nothing to Song Yi now. Being friends with a super-rich man like Song Yi, Liu Huiying was actually under a lot of pressure.

When Song Yi and Jin Xiyuan left the hotel, the driver sent by Masayoshi Son was waiting for them in the lobby. A handsome young man in a suit and white gloves greeted Song Yi, "Excuse me, are you Chairman Song Yi of New Asia Network?"

Song Yi nodded in agreement, and the driver respectfully took Song Yi and the others to the hotel porch, where Masayoshi Son's private car was parked at the hotel entrance.

Jin Xiyuan thought that as the richest man in Japan, Son Zhengyi was quite arrogant. Song Yi flew to Yokohama yesterday, and Son Zhengyi had no intention of meeting with Song Yi in advance, as if he had specially invited Song Yi to Yokohama to watch a World Cup final.

The special car that Masayoshi Son arranged for Song Yi was not a luxury car like a Rolls-Royce, Bentley or Porsche, but a Nissan.

And this Nissan is obviously a bit old. But it can be seen that the owner still cherishes the car very much, and does regular maintenance, so the car is kept in very good condition.

Song Yi and Jin Xiyuan sat in the back seat together. Song Yi asked the driver, "This Nissan should be Chairman Son Masayoshi's own favorite car, right?"

The driver was very respectful. "You are right. This is our president's private car. This Laurel has been with our president for more than ten years. Because it has witnessed the president's struggle, the president likes this car very much and specially kept it. This is also the first time I drive it."

Jin Xiyuan felt a little ashamed. She originally thought that Son Zhengyi deliberately neglected Song Yi and was about to speak up for Song Yi. Who knew that Son Zhengyi would use his favorite car to receive Song Yi? This was of great significance.

Song Yi only asked this question after getting in the car, and then remained quiet the whole time, resting his eyes in the back seat. Song Yi realized that Son Masayoshi was not an easy person to get along with. Although Alibaba's Mr. Ma introduced him, Son Masayoshi did not seem to treat him as an equal conversation partner, which was not a good signal for his subsequent negotiation process.

Song Yi was not interested in getting information about Masayoshi Son from his driver. He might not know as much about Masayoshi Son as Song Yi did.

Masayoshi Son is a man with a very strong will and a well-known international investor. His most successful investment was in Alibaba in its early days, when he became the largest shareholder of Alibaba. Later, in order to bring back funds for SoftBank, which was losing money, Son sold all of his Alibaba shares, and finally cashed out 250 billion RMB.

Thanks to the success of its investment in Alibaba, SoftBank later established the $100 billion Vision Fund. The Vision Fund, established in 2017, has also become a global investment giant, with wealthy people from all over the world rushing to give money to it, especially the oil tycoons in the Middle East.

However, the Vision Fund lost more than $32 billion in 22 years, and Son fell from grace. Because Son's investment strategy is simple, which is to find the next Yahoo or Alibaba.

In the 1990s, Son first invested $2 million in Yahoo, and then invested another $100 million in Yahoo in exchange for 33% of Yahoo's equity. Later, when Yahoo went public, Son only sold 5% of Yahoo's shares and got back $450 million. By investing in Yahoo, Son realized a 177-fold return on investment.

Masayoshi Son invested in Alibaba twice, with a total investment of US$80 million, in exchange for 34% of Alibaba's shares, almost covering Alibaba's round B and round C financing. Alibaba was listed on the US stock market in 2014, and this part of the equity is worth US$160 billion, with a return of 3,000 times.

As a result, Masayoshi Son was officially deified, and everyone believed in his vision for Internet companies. So when Son established the $100 billion Vision Fund in 2017, the world's top billionaires rushed to give him money.

Now that Alibaba has not started Taobao, New Asia Capital can invest in Alibaba before SoftBank. Alibaba's boss Cai certainly does not want SoftBank to be the only shareholder in Alibaba. As long as Song Yi does not interfere with Alibaba's operations, Mr. Ma and Boss Cai should not mind having another external investor to check and balance SoftBank.

After a while, Song Yi arrived at the Yokohama International Stadium. Song Yi and Kim Hee-won entered the stadium through the VIP security channel, and the driver took Song Yi to the box where Masayoshi Son was.

When Song Yi and Jin Xiyuan entered the box, they saw Son Masayoshi watching the closing ceremony. Son Masayoshi is 45 years old this year. His hair is not yet gray, but he is already in danger of baldness. As expected, computer professionals don't have much hair. He looks a bit like Huo Jingliang, the villain in "Genesis". Interestingly, Son Masayoshi also happens to be holding a cigar in his hand.

When Masayoshi Son heard the noise, he turned around. He first confirmed Song Yi's identity, then smiled warmly, shook hands with Song Yi, and invited Song Yi and Kim Hee-won to sit down and watch the closing ceremony performance together.

Compared to the elaborate opening ceremony prepared by the Koreans, the closing ceremony prepared by the Japanese was a little simpler. The national flags of the 32 participating teams appeared on the football field, and there was also a model of Mount Fuji built with a curtain.

In the center of the football field were the flags of Germany and Brazil. When the Brazilian team came out, the Japanese applauded the Brazilian team much more enthusiastically than the German team.

Song Yi knew why the Japanese were so enthusiastic about the Brazilian team, because Brazil was called the second homeland by Japan. Japan purchased a large amount of land in Brazil, and the land they bought was more than three times that of Japan itself. There were almost 2 million Japanese in Brazil, not including Japanese-Brazilians. The Japanese firmly controlled Brazil's steel and shipbuilding industries.

Since the Great Kanto Earthquake in 1923, a large number of Japanese have gone to Brazil to work in plantations. After the 1960s, Japan has sent a large number of knowledge-based talents to Brazil. When Brazil began to restrict Japanese immigration, they found that the Japanese had infiltrated every aspect of Sao Paulo State. If Japanese immigration is restricted, it will affect the entire Brazilian economy.

The Japanese have always had a strong sense of crisis. They are also worried about the eruption of Mount Fuji and are always prepared to immigrate overseas, so they purchased a large amount of land in Brazil, a sparsely populated country.

The reason why they did not take root in Southeast Asia or Australia like the Chinese is that they know that their reputation in Southeast Asian countries is not very good.

The Brazilian team was obviously determined to win the championship tonight, and they took a family photo at the final venue.

Ronaldinho's comeback allows the Brazilian team to play with its strongest lineup. Marcos guards the goal, Lucio, Edmilson and Junior are in charge of the defense, Carlos and Cafu are on the left and right wings, Gilberto and Kleberson form a solid midfield barrier, and the front three is the powerful 3R combination, Ronaldinho, Ronaldinho and Rivaldo.

The absence of Ballack made the German team lose a major attacking point. The German striker Klose is still a little immature. Who would have thought that Klose would score 16 goals in four World Cups and become the top scorer in the history of the World Cup? The referee of this final is the bald Italian referee Collina. A heavyweight match naturally needs a heavyweight referee.

After Collina blew the whistle to start the game, Son Masayoshi started chatting with Song Yi, "Chairman Song, do you like watching football? The news you posted on inschool about the $1 million goal prize has become an interesting story during the Japan-Korea World Cup."

Song Yi couldn't help but laugh at himself: "I'm just a fake fan. I can't even recognize the entire lineup of the Brazilian team. I just want to use the popularity of the World Cup to promote InSchool."

Son admired Song Yi's outspokenness and laughed, "If I had known that Chairman Song was a fake fan, I would not have invited you to watch the game. I should have invited you to soak in the Oedo Onsen instead."

Song Yi said modestly, "I am just a junior in the Internet industry and I have a lot to learn from you. Mr. Sun, please just call me Song Yi."

Masayoshi Son's grandfather was a Korean. In order to avoid the war, he fled to Japan on a fishing boat and eventually changed his name to Jong-kyung Yasumoto.

As a child, Masayoshi Son had no happiness at all, and he didn't even have a home address. Later, his father took a different approach and ran a pachinko business like most Koreans in Japan. He finally made a fortune and even had enough money to send Masayoshi Son to study in the United States. Pachinko is a pinball game machine, similar to the early slot machines.

After SoftBank went public, Son's personal wealth exceeded $1 billion, and he changed his last name from Aberdeen to Sun. In order to create a distinguished family background for himself, Son said that he was a descendant of the military sage Sun Wu.

Therefore, for Sun Zhengyi, who has a strong sense of self-esteem, he hates others looking down on him the most. He originally thought that Song Yi, as the most outstanding third-generation child of the modern family, was a little arrogant and difficult to communicate with. Now that he saw the tall and strong Song Yi taking the initiative to show his goodwill, he felt much more relieved.

"I found that the founders of powerful Internet companies are all Chinese, including Jerry Yang of Yahoo, Jack Ma of Alibaba, and today there is another outstanding young man, Song Yi of New Asia. No wonder the Chinese and Jews are known as the two smartest peoples in the world." Masayoshi Son first praised Song Yi.

"I was optimistic about Yahoo and invested $2 million in it. After that, I regretted it. What could I do with such a small amount of money? So I went back to Jerry Yang and said, I will give you $100 million."

"Jerry Yang disagreed, worried that I would take away control of their company. Later I told him, if you don't agree, I will invest the $100 million in your competitors. Later Jerry Yang agreed." Masayoshi Son talked about his relationship with Yahoo.

After investing in Yahoo, Masayoshi Son returned to China and founded Yahoo Japan with Yahoo. Unlike Yahoo Korea, the major shareholder of Yahoo Japan is actually SoftBank.

Song Yi listened to Masayoshi Son's story and he keenly grasped what Son meant. I, Masayoshi Son, am indeed very optimistic about InSchool. If you don't agree with my investment in InSchool, then I will invest in InSchool's competitors, such as CYworld. Even Yahoo Japan will personally participate and copy InSchool in Japan to compete with InSchool.

Guess how Masayoshi Son will treat Song Yi after watching the game?
