Song Yi turned his phone to silent mode and accompanied Kim Tae Hee and her sister on the tour. Kim Tae Hee preferred the roller coaster rides and praised Splash Mountain, Thunder Mountain and Space Mountain.
Space Mountain is a must-see at every Disney theme park. It simulates a space environment entirely indoors and combines the speed of a roller coaster with amazing visual effects. Puhai Disneyland also has a similar project called TRON Lightcycle Power Run.
When leaving Disneyland, Kim Tae-hee was reluctant to leave. "I wonder when we can build a Disneyland in Seoul, so that we don't have to fly to Tokyo to play."
Jin Xiyuan thinks it is difficult. "Tokyo Disneyland has already had enough influence on the Japanese and Korean markets. Disneyland has a high initial investment and a long construction period. It will take at least 6 to 8 years to recover the investment, unless Samsung or Lotte is willing to step in."
"Samsung already has Everland, so there is no need for it to cooperate with Disney and build a duplicate theme park to compete with Everland. Lotte is a possibility, but the Kim family of Lotte has a Japanese background, so it is impossible for them to steal the business from Tokyo Disneyland." Song Yi disagreed.
Similar to South Korea, the economic lifeline of RB is also controlled by the six major chaebols: Mitsui, Sumitomo, Mitsubishi, Fuji, Sanwa and Dai-ichi Kangyo Bank. Moreover, these chaebol families have extremely close relations with RB's political families. The reconciliation between power and capital has made RB's young people choose to lie down a long time ago.
Kim Gak-ho, the founder of Lotte Group, lived in RB for many years and became the son-in-law of the RB Chongguang family, accumulating the first pot of gold. The rise of Lotte Group is inseparable from the two South Korean presidents Chung Phu-seo and Lee Gak-seo.
During Zheng Puxi's tenure, Jin Gehao took over the Peninsula Hotel in Sogongdong from him and transformed it into an international hotel. In 1979, Zheng Puxi was assassinated shortly after he approved the Lotte Shopping Center project.
After 2008, Lee Hsing-kuo was elected president of South Korea, and the Lotte family finally welcomed a ruler who was in collusion with them. The number of subsidiaries of the Lotte Group increased from 46 to 79, and the total assets increased from 49.2 trillion won to 95.8 trillion won.
Lotte Korea is actually a subsidiary of RB Lotte, but the size of Lotte Korea is 10 times that of RB Lotte. Kim Kyuk-ho, the founder of the group, can't even speak a word of Korean. When he was tried in court in 2017, he could only roar at the judge in Japanese, "Who dares to judge him?" His arrogance is evident.
Lotte's negative news does not stop there. It provided a site for the deployment of THAAD by the US military in South Korea. Both Kim Hyuk-ho and his son were involved in the suicide of actress Jang Ja-yeon. Finally, Lotte's business in China was also boycotted by the mainland. Lotte Mart closed its stores and withdrew from the Chinese market.
Now, chaebols such as Samsung, Hyundai, Lotte, LG, and SK have monopolized all industries in South Korea. If Song Yi wants to become a new chaebol, he must swallow up the industries held by other chaebols. Originally, the bankruptcy of Daewoo Group was a good opportunity, but unfortunately Song Yi had not accumulated any capital and connections at that time.
Song Yi knew that with his information advantage after his rebirth, he might be able to overtake the two conglomerates, LG and SK, through the Internet industry. However, it would not be easy for him to defeat Samsung, Hyundai and Lotte. Then, disintegrating the Lotte Conglomerate became his inevitable choice, because in the minds of the Korean people, the reputation of the Lotte Conglomerate was undoubtedly the worst among the five major conglomerates.
Song Yi sighed. Zhang Ziyan should have signed a contract with an agency by now. She probably didn't know that signing with the agency was just the beginning of her nightmare life.
She was forced to undergo sterilization by the company and provided services to more than 100 dignitaries, and could not even rest on the anniversary of her parents' death. In 2009, Jang Ja-yeon committed suicide. In 2019, Park Dong-ho announced that he would reopen the investigation into Jang Ja-yeon's case, but two months later, the prosecutors announced that they could not reopen the investigation.
Later, Choi Sulli of f(x) and Goo Hara of Kara committed suicide, and tragedy happened again. Thinking of this, Song Yi felt that he needed to speed up his pace in entering the Korean entertainment industry so as to prevent similar incidents.
Back at the hotel, Kim Tae-hee clearly sensed that her boyfriend was in a bad mood. "OPPA, are you unhappy that my sister is traveling with us? How about I persuade my sister to go back to Seoul first, and then we can go skiing in Hokkaido together?"
Kim Tae-hee had just started dating for a short time, and she didn't think Kim Hee-won was a light bulb. To her, she was just an extra playmate.
Song Yi knew his girlfriend had misunderstood, but he couldn't tell Kim Tae Hee his true thoughts, so he joked with his girlfriend, "How could that be? I'm also looking forward to going skiing in Hokkaido, and then I can take a hot spring bath with you guys."
When Kim Tae Hee heard this, she immediately refused, "Who said I wanted to take a hot spring bath with you? You are so shameless. We are going to Hokkaido to ski, not to take a hot spring bath!"
Song Yi hugged his girlfriend from behind, rested his head on her shoulder, and acted coquettishly with her, "Your sister is staring at me every day, and I can't even eat this, can't I just enjoy the sight?"
Jin Xiyuan also finished her shower, changed into pajamas and walked out of the bathroom, wiping her hair with a towel. She couldn't stand the way Song Yi and Jin Taixi were being so affectionate, so she mocked Song Yi, "What? I just took a shower, and you can't stand it, Song Yi? How about I go to sleep first, and you guys can be intimate as long as I don't exist, and just keep quiet."
Song Yi was indeed a little intimidated by his sister-in-law, Jin Xiyuan. He let go of her hand and talked to her about business. "Sister, when we return to Seoul, I will register an entertainment agency. I have already thought of a name for the company. It will be called Xinya Entertainment."
The English name of Shin Asia Entertainment is SHINA Entertainment. Only when SHINA surpasses SM, YG and JYP and becomes an industry giant, can Song Yi expose the dark side of the entertainment industry and give the Lotte family a head-on blow.
Jin Xiyuan was a little surprised because Song Yi had told her that he was going to set up a new company in June, and she didn't know why Song Yi changed his mind at the last minute.
Jin Xiyuan asked Song Yi, "Why are you so anxious? Did something happen that I don't know about?"
Song Yi was reluctant to say more, "Song Hye Kyo's mainland version of Samda Soo's commercial was a huge success. In order to further increase Samda Soo's market share, I plan to shoot another Samda Soo commercial for Tae Hee."
"For the last advertisement, because Tae Hee had just entered the industry and did not have a signed agency, the offer given by the Jeju Development Corporation was very low. If we set up an agency earlier, we could also help Tae Hee get more advertising pay." Song Yi explained.
Kim Tae-hee saw her boyfriend and sister talking about serious matters. She had been visiting Disneyland all day and was already tired, so she went to take a shower first, leaving the two of them to talk.
Jin Xiyuan was a little hesitant. She always felt that Song Yi was holding back. She said to Song Yi, "Song Yi, can you help me blow dry my hair?"
Song Yi hesitated for a moment. He didn't know if this was a "trap" set by Jin Xiyuan. The quirky Jin Xiyuan had been testing him for the past two days.
Jin Xiyuan laughed at him, "When Tae Hee and I were at Disneyland, you took your phone several times. You even took time out to text other women on Valentine's Day, and now you don't even dare to blow dry my hair?"
Song Yi was in a mess. He picked up the hair dryer, smoothed up Jin Xiyuan's long black hair, and then patiently helped Jin Xiyuan blow her hair.
"Why don't you lie to me? Say that it was actually something at the company that needed your attention, so you had to reply to the text message?" Kim Hee-won asked.
Song Yi was silent, and Jin Xiyuan continued, "Actually, I don't want to come here to disturb your world of two, but Tae Hee is like a blank sheet of paper, and I'm worried that she will get hurt. If you are not sure that you are responsible for her, I hope you and her will not cross the last line. Besides, as a couple, don't you have many ways to relieve each other's pressure?"
Song Yi coughed, fearing that Jin Xiyuan would get more and more outrageous, "Sister, I'm not the kind of person who is impatient."
Jin Xiyuan snorted, expressing her disbelief. "I've seen through men a long time ago. There are no men who are not lustful these days. If Tae Hee is not in the room now, and I have a crush on you, and I am very proactive, and I say that you don't need to be responsible, and I won't tell Tae Hee, will you refuse?"
Song Yi sighed, "Even if it's hypothetical, why put yourself in such a humble position? If you want to be loved by others, you must first love yourself. If you cater to and please others without any bottom line, it will only make them cherish you less, and you will end up hurting yourself in the end."
Jin Xiyuan and Song Yi talked about her love affair that ended in failure. She liked the boy very much and they started dating in college. However, her boyfriend always said that he respected her, but in fact he always complained that their relationship was progressing too slowly and blamed her for not wanting to give herself to him completely.
When she finally made up her mind, she found out that the boy had cheated on her. Now she is just glad that she got rid of the scumbag as soon as possible to avoid being hurt more. After this emotional injury, she is not willing to open her heart easily, and she is also afraid that her sister will follow her old path.
Jin Xiyuan looked at Song Yi, took a step forward and hugged Song Yi. The two of them were so close together that Song Yi couldn't put his hands where they were and could only remind him softly, "Sister, Tae Hee may be done washing soon."
Jin Xiyuan hugged him for half a minute, then let go and said to Song Yi, "Well, I really didn't feel my heart beating faster. It turns out that I was just too lonely today. I almost thought I really had a crush on you."
Song Yi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Sister, are you treating me as a test subject?"
Jin Xiyuan looked proud and said, "What else? If I really like you, I definitely can't join Xinya Entertainment and work with Tae Hee. Otherwise, I will be with you day and night, how can I supervise you? What if I steal from you?"
Song Yi looked at Jin Xiyuan. Although her expression was calm, she was pinching the corner of her pajamas with her right hand to relieve the tension in her heart.
He recalled a passage from the novel The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber. Zhang Wuji said anxiously, "We just need to have a clear conscience. Why should we care about what others say?" Zhou Zhiruo asked, "What if I have a guilty conscience?"
How similar are Jin Xiyuan's "What if I embezzle?" and Zhou Zhiruo's "What if I feel guilty?"? Perhaps because of his rebirth, Song Yi found that his attitude towards feelings in this life was much more greedy than his previous life.
At least Song Yi knew that Jin Xiyuan did have a good impression of him and was not against him, otherwise she would not have kissed him in the Haunted Mansion.
Kim Hee-won would not pretend to be his girlfriend to help him reject the approaching Japanese girl when she saw him being approached by her. This was also a subconscious expression of Kim Hee-won's jealousy.
However, Song Yi thought that Jin Xiyuan was just impulsive today and she would calm down after a while. Because today happened to be Valentine's Day, Disneyland was full of couples or couples. Jin Xiyuan, who had just come out of the shadow of a breakup, was saddened by the scene and needed an emotional substitute, so Song Yi, her only opposite-sex friend, became the best choice.
If Song Yi really took advantage of Jin Xiyuan's affection for him and made a move on Jin Xiyuan, it would really ruin Jin Xiyuan's good impression of him. Jin Xiyuan would definitely not join Xinya Entertainment, and might even persuade her sister to break up with Song Yi.
Jin Xiyuan saw that Song Yi didn't speak for a long time, and the atmosphere between the two of them suddenly became awkward. At this time, Jin Taixi had just finished taking a shower and helped the two of them out. Song Yi quickly left Jin Xiyuan and went to the bathroom to take a shower.
Song Yi and the other two spent five days in Hokkaido, and the trip to RB officially came to an end. Kim Tae Hee and her sister are both skiing experts, and Song Yi is not much better than a beginner. Kim Tae Hee teaches her boyfriend skiing skills, and Kim Hee Won is beside him, scolding Song Yi. This constitutes the skiing routine of the three of them.
Kim Tae-hee felt strange, "I saw that you two got along very happily at Tokyo Disneyland, why did your sister start to criticize you as usual as soon as you arrived in Hokkaido?" As a younger sister, she still hoped that her sister and her boyfriend could live in harmony, after all, they would be a family in the future.
Song Yi certainly knew the reason. Jin Xiyuan didn't want to get close to him in front of her sister and habitually kept her distance, so she thought her boyfriend and her sister had a bad relationship. But if Song Yi and Jin Xiyuan really had such a tense relationship, how could she agree to take a private hot spring bath with Song Yi and Jin Tae Hee?
Kim Hee-won's excuse was that she couldn't let Kim Tae-hee and Song Yi soak in the hot spring alone, fearing that Song Yi would do something to his sister in the hot spring. Because Kim Tae-hee and Kim Hee-won both wore swimsuits to soak in the hot spring, Kim Tae-hee didn't think much about it.
Song Yi also saw Kim Tae-hee and her sister wearing swimsuits. The sisters had great body proportions, without a trace of fat on their bodies, their skin was as white as cream, and they were very graceful. Kim Tae-hee was taller and Kim Hee-won was more plump. They were a perfect match, like spring orchid and autumn chrysanthemum, each with their own merits.
When they finished their trip to RB, Seoul University had just started the new semester. Kim Tae-hee went back to school, and Kim Hee-won quit her job at Korean Air.
Song Yi rented an office building in Ziyangdong as the office building of New Asia Entertainment Agency Co., Ltd. Song Yi served as the president of New Asia Entertainment and Jin Xiyuan served as the company's director.
When ShinAh Entertainment held its opening ceremony, Kim Hak-jung of Jeju Development Corporation, Chen Jae-chan and his wife, director Kwak Jae-yong, Song Hye-kyo, Ha Ji-won, Moon Geun-young, and Seo Ju-hyun's mother were all invited to attend the ceremony.
Mother Xu was surprised. She was just the principal of a piano school and had no business cooperation with New Asia Entertainment. When she heard that Song Yi was going to sign Moon Geun-young, she suddenly thought of her daughter Seo Joo-hyun. Could it be that Song Yi was also planning to sign Seo Joo-hyun in the future?
Xu's mother thought it was impossible. How old is Xu Zhuxian now? Moreover, Xu Zhuxian's goal is to become a schoolmate with Kim Tae-hee, and she has no intention of entering the entertainment industry.
Kim Tae-hee also took a special leave to attend the opening ceremony of New Asia Entertainment Agency. She is also the only contracted actor of New Asia Entertainment.
Song Yi saw Jin Xiyuan wearing a black suit and flesh-colored stockings, and she was still eye-catching among the many beauties. Song Yi took the opportunity to secretly ask Jin Xiyuan, "Sister, after you resign, do you need to return the Korean Air work clothes to the company?"
Jin Xiyuan looked at Song Yi with a smile on her face, "Why do you still want me to wear the stewardess uniform alone for you to see?"
Before Song Yi could nod, Jin Xiyuan stepped on him with her high heels. Song Yi gasped in pain, "If you don't want to look, then don't look. Why are you so cruel?"
This episode was not over yet, Song Yi saw Chen Fuzhen walking into Xinya Entertainment, and he subconsciously wanted to hide. For safety reasons, he did not send an invitation to Chen Fuzhen when he established the company, for fear that she would come to cause trouble.
Chen Fuzhen took a glass of wine and walked slowly to Song Yi. "CEO Song has opened a new company without informing me. He really doesn't consider Fuzhen as a friend. No, he should be President Song now, right? Congratulations, congratulations!"
When Song Yi saw Chen Fuzhen preparing to clink glasses with him, Chen Fuzhen lost her grip on the glass and the red wine spilled onto Song Yi's shirt and pants. Chen Fuzhen looked apologetic and quickly took a handkerchief to help Song Yi wipe his pants and shirt. Chen Fuzhen wiped it twice and thought that although Song Yi was a slut, he actually had abdominal muscles, which was a far cry from her husband who neglected to exercise.
Seeing what happened here, Jin Taixi hurried over to help, and said from a distance: "President Chen, it's okay, let me handle it, you go ahead!"
Chen Fuzhen had no choice but to let go of her hand and grabbed Song Yi's inner thigh hard. Although her action was covert, Song Hye Kyo still saw it.
Chen Fuzhen whispered, "This is the price you pay for sending random text messages on Valentine's Day!" Chen Fuzhen and her husband have been in a cold war recently. Her husband is really a hopeless case. She has moved out of the apartment with her children. A woman whose marriage is on the verge of breaking up received a text message saying "Happy Valentine's Day, love you" on Valentine's Day. How could she not be annoyed? Just when she was about to settle the score with Song Yi, Song Yi seemed to be determined and did not reply to the text message or answer the phone. So as soon as she learned about the establishment of Xinya Entertainment, she came to the door to ask for punishment.
Kim Tae-hee was very annoyed. Although she didn't know why Chen Fuzhen poured the red wine, she could guess that Chen Fuzhen was deliberately provoking her today, and she didn't have a good way to fight back.
When Song Yi changed his clothes in a mess and returned to the company, Song Hye Kyo walked up to Song Yi and said in amazement, "No wonder you remained indifferent to my advances towards you. I didn't expect you to have an affair with Chen Fuzhen. It turns out that you are afraid that the eldest princess of Samsung will be jealous. I am really worried about your girlfriend. Chen Fuzhen must regard her as a thorn in her side, because Chen Fuzhen has no way to date you openly. Song Yi, it must be very hard to deal with several outstanding women at the same time, right?"
Song Hye Kyo's seemingly sympathetic words almost choked Song Yi to death, "Don't talk nonsense, Chen Fuzhen has a husband, who dares to have an affair with her, do I want to die?"
Song Hye Kyo nodded, "It's okay, I understand. A wife is not as good as a concubine, and a concubine is not as good as a secret lover. Don't worry, I will help you keep the secret!" Song Hye Kyo blinked at Song Yi with a tacit expression.
Thank you for your monthly tickets, thank you
