When Jin Xiyuan saw Zhou Mengxian, she realized that there was a guest at Song Yi's house, and she hurriedly greeted Zhou Mengxian.
Jin Xiyuan walked to Song Yi and whispered, "There were guests at home, but why didn't you say hello to me? If I had known, I wouldn't have come over for dinner. You almost embarrassed me."
Song Yi introduced, "Uncle Mengxian, she is Tae Hee's sister Xiyuan, and also a director of Xinya Entertainment. If I am not in the company, she will be in charge of the company's business."
Zhou Mengxian understood what Song Yi meant, and Jin Xiyuan's work ability was trustworthy. Zhou Mengxian knew that Song Yi would not be nepotistic in the early stages of his business, but why were all the girls around Song Yi so beautiful? Although Zhou Shulan prepared a lot of delicious food, Zhou Mengxian was obviously worried and said goodbye to Zhou Shulan and Song Yi after eating for a while.
Zhou Shulan was puzzled. "Maybe the dishes I prepared today are not to your taste. I will ask someone to teach me Korean cuisine in the next few days. You can come over to eat then."
Zhou Mengxian smiled bitterly, "The food is delicious. I have urgent matters to deal with at my company. Thank you for your hospitality. As for the next time we have dinner together, I don't know when we will have time."
Song Yi sent Zhou Mengxian to the parking lot. On the way, Zhou Mengxian asked the question that concerned him the most, "Second brother and sixth brother are obviously stronger than me. Why are you willing to help me? Is it because I took the initiative to come to your house as a guest today?"
If Song Yi cannot resolve Zhou Mengxian's doubts, Zhou Mengxian will not be able to fully trust Song Yi, and naturally will not be able to proceed with the next step.
"Of course this is part of the reason. My mother has been in Seoul for some time and visited my uncle in the hospital. I believe many people in your family have received the news. Uncle Mengxian, you are the first relative to come and visit, which is very different from the others in the Zhou family who are watching."
"At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Cao Wei was powerful and Wu controlled Jiangdong, but Zhuge Liang still chose Liu Bei, who had visited him three times. In addition to Liu Bei being the descendant of King Jing of Zhongshan, the main reason was that Liu Bei's power was not as strong as Cao Wei and Wu, which gave Zhuge Liang the most room to play and help Liu Bei establish the Shu Han Dynasty, so that he could be a hero and have a place to use his talents."
Zhou Mengxian understood that Zhou Mengjiu and Zhou Mengzhun were very strong, and even if Song Yi took the initiative to approach them, he might not be able to get any benefits. Zhou Mengxian was the weakest, and Song Yi might get excess returns by betting on him.
"I plan to have a good talk with my father and Meng Zhun about separating Hyundai Electronics, Hyundai Construction, Hyundai Asan, Hyundai Merchant Marine and Hyundai Elevator from the Hyundai Group and establishing a separate Asan Group."
"When you are not in the company, Xiyuan will help you handle the company's business. If I am not in Eshan Group, who else can you trust?" Zhou Mengxian asked.
Song Yi heard Zhou Mengxian's subtext. Zhou Mengxian certainly could not openly serve as the chairman of Eshan Group. Once the 500 million yuan in political donations were exposed, Zhou Mengxian would definitely not be able to escape jail.
"Uncle Mengxian, why don't you consider letting your wife become the president of Eshan Group?" Song Yi suggested directly.
"Enxuan?" Zhou Mengxian seemed to be thinking about something.
"Aunt Eun-xuan graduated from Ewha Womans University and comes from a prominent family. Her father is the former president of Hyundai Merchant Marine, and her mother is a major shareholder of Hyundai Elevator. I can't think of a more suitable candidate than her," said Song Yi.
Zhou Mengxian was a little worried. "Although Enxuan helped me handle the company's affairs at home, she has never participated in the management of the company. And there has never been a precedent of a woman being the president of a company in modern times."
The phenomenon of male superiority and female inferiority is quite serious in South Korea, and it is even worse in the Zhou family. Zhou Zhengyong's daughters-in-law never ask about their husbands' careers.
Zhou Mengxian subconsciously retorted, "How can they be the same? Third brother fell down before and hit his head. The children in his family haven't grown up yet, so father made an exception and let third sister-in-law enter Modern Department Store--"
Zhou Mengxian hadn't finished speaking when he suddenly understood. Yes, if he was being questioned by the prosecutors and it was inconvenient for him to manage the Eshan Group, he could certainly use the same reason to hand the company over to his wife Zheng Enxuan.
Zhou Mengxian planned to go back and discuss with his father. Isn't it possible that Zhou Shulan and her son could inherit 10 million US dollars? At that time, Zhou Zhengyong would inject the 10 million US dollars into the newly established Eshan Group, and Song Yi would become the main shareholder of Eshan Group.
Zhou Zhengyong could specify in his will that Zhou Shulan and her son could not sell the shares of Eshan Group within three years. In this way, if Zheng Enxuan became the chairman of Eshan Group, Song Yi would become Zheng Enxuan's natural supporter.
According to Zhou Mengxian's estimate, if the media exposed this political donation case, he would be sentenced to two to three years in prison.
After he is released, Zhou Mengxian can continue to participate in the actual operation of Eshan Group without hiding behind the scenes. At that time, even if Song Yi sells the shares of Eshan Group, he will not have to worry. This is also the backup plan Zhou Mengxian reserved for Zheng Enxuan.
Zhou Mengxian patted Song Yi on the shoulder and said, "I will discuss this with my father. If Enxuan can successfully take over Eshan Group, I will ask her to nominate you as a director of Eshan Group. If I am not in the company, please help me take care of Enxuan."
Song Yi asked Zhou Mengxian, "Uncle Mengxian wants to wait until the old man passes away before turning himself in to the prosecutors to seize the initiative?"
Instead of Zhou Mengxian and other family members exposing the political donation case, it would be better for him to turn himself in. First, it can turn passivity into initiative, second, it can alleviate the dissatisfaction of the Korean people towards him, and third, he can play the sympathy card and provide more bargaining chips for Zheng Enxuan to take over the Eshan Group.
As long as Zhou Zhengyong is alive, the Zhou brothers have to maintain a superficial harmony, and no one would take the initiative to report Zhou Mengxian. If the old man passed away, when Zhong Xiaotong stepped down as president, the Zhou brothers would be eager to take ruthless action against Zhou Mengxian.
Song Yi disagreed with Zhou Mengxian's decision to surrender himself. "If you surrender yourself, your sentence will certainly be reduced, but it will put Zhong Xiaotong on the charcoal fire and put him in a passive position."
"If you can reach an agreement with Uncle Meng Zhun, you can set up your own business and establish the Eshan Group. When the old man passes away, you can find a reporter to expose the matter of the 500 million yuan political donation."
"There are three advantages to doing this. First, Zhong Xiaotong has not resigned yet. In order to protect himself, he will definitely reduce the impact of this incident. Second, other people will definitely think that Uncle Meng Jiu did it. If Hyundai Motor continues to pursue the newly established Eshan Group, it will be unmannerly and public opinion will not support him. Third, in order to avoid this, Zhong Xiaotong will definitely order a suspension of the Kaesong Industrial Park and Mount Kumgang tourism plans. These two projects require a lot of funds, so as to prevent the newly established Eshan Group from being dragged down by these two projects." Song Yi finished speaking his thoughts.
After hearing Song Yi's plan of killing three birds with one stone, Zhou Mengxian felt much more relieved. Now he just needed to get Zhou Zhengyong to agree to his arrangement and reach a cooperation with Zhou Mengjun.
Zhou Mengxian certainly couldn't tell Song Yi that he had a 10 million USD share in the newly established Eshan Group. If the shrewd Song Yi knew that he might inherit a 10 million USD inheritance from Zhou Zhengyong, he would definitely find ways to get the money and never get involved in the internal fighting among the Zhou brothers.
When the 10 million US dollars becomes the shares of Eshan Group, Song Yi will be completely on Zhou Mengxian's ship, and it will be too late to change camp. This is the end of the first chapter, and there will be another chapter later .
