Song Yi originally wanted to meet with Li Zekai, but after the whole transaction was completed, Song Yi didn't even have a chance to talk to Li Zekai alone.
Song Yi established the Song Yi Unity Holdings Limited in Hong Kong Island and placed all 20% of Penguin shares into the family trust.
The current beneficiaries of the Song Yi Family Trust Fund are Song Yi, Song Mingzhe, Zhou Shulan, Liao Yu and Song Miao.
The Song Yi Family Trust holds Song Yi’s largest personal assets, and Song Yi will update the list of designated beneficiaries in the future.
Song Yi also went to Pengcheng to meet with the founding team of Penguin. Song Yi should have informed the management team of Penguin when the major shareholder of the company changed.
Xiao Ma asked Song Yi why he bought shares of Penguin. Song Yi said that he had visited Internet cafes in the mainland and found that all users of the Internet cafes would log in to Penguin accounts, so he was very optimistic about the company.
Penguin only needs to provide value-added services to some users to develop rapidly. Xiao Ma Ge was thoughtful after hearing this. Song Yi stated that he would not interfere with the specific operations of Penguin, fully trusted the management team of Penguin, and was optimistic about the long-term development of Penguin.
At the end of May, Song Yi cleared out all the stocks he held in the B-share market. The B-share market experienced its final frenzy in the last week of May, with the increase being even greater than in the previous three weeks.
After Song Yi did a post-mortem, he found that he had made a total profit of US$42 million from the B-share market, which was US$2 million more than the previously expected profit.
After Song Yi got the money, he registered Xinya Network and Xinya Investment in Yanjing, with a registered capital of RMB 10 million respectively.
Song Yi, Liao Yu and Zhou Shulan first established a Yiyingshenghui Investment Partnership, with Song Yi as a permanent partner, Zhou Shulan and Liao Yu as general partners. Yiyingshenghui Investment Partnership and Xinya Entertainment, then completed the shareholding of Xinya Network and Xinya Investment. Yiyingshenghui Investment Partnership holds 49% of Xinya Network and Xinya Investment respectively, and Xinya Entertainment is the largest shareholder.
New Asia Investment's first investment was to buy 1.4 million shares of NetEase at a price of around US$1. New Asia Investment currently holds 4.65% of NetEase shares, but because it has not reached 5%, it does not need to be disclosed to the public.
NetEase was indeed an undervalued good company at this time, but it was caught up in a class action lawsuit, so its stock price was low. Song Yi remembered that BBK's founder Duan Yongping bought a large number of NetEase shares this year.
In 2003, when NetEase's stock price returned to a high of US$70, Duan Yongping gradually sold off NetEase's shares, earning an astonishing return of over 100 times. He became famous in the capital market and also earned Duan Yongping the reputation of China's Buffett.
For investment companies, the founder's qualifications and past investment performance are the primary factors to attract investors to join. Once New Asia Investment clears out NetEase's shares, New Asia Investment will have no shortage of investors asking for help with financial management.
In early June, major funds in the B-share market fled, and the B-share index plummeted instantly. Song Yi also established Shin-Asia Network Co., Ltd. in Seoul, and its registered office address was Shin-Asia Building in Seocho-dong.
Unlike China's New Asia Network, Seoul's New Asia Network Co., Ltd. is 100% owned by its parent company New Asia Entertainment. To distinguish, New Asia Network Co., Ltd. is referred to as New Asia Network (Seoul).
This time when he came back from Hong Kong Island, Song Yi bought a lot of bags, and basically everyone he saw got one. Sisters Kim Tae Hee and Kim Hee Won, Song Hye Kyo, Jung Eun Sun, and even Song Yi's assistant Jiang Xiu Na and Chen Zaican's wife Cui Shan Ji all got an LV handbag.
After Chen Fuzhen learned that Song Yi had returned to Seoul, she contacted him through Song Suying and said that she had an important matter to discuss with him, and that this matter could not be discussed over the phone or in text messages and was highly confidential.
Song Yi was somewhat helpless and said to Kim Tae Hee, "I have some things to deal with in my company. New Asia Music and the Seoul Art Troupe are collaborating on the musical "Empress Myeongseong". Are you interested in acting in it? You can hone your acting skills, but the pay is not high."
The Seoul Art Troupe is a national art group affiliated with the Ministry of Culture, Tourism and Sports of South Korea. Its predecessor was the "88 Seoul Art Troupe" established in 1986.
According to IMF data, when a country's per capita GDP exceeds US$10,000, the consumer market will shift from material needs to spiritual needs, and the cultural industry will usher in a period of rapid development.
In 2001, South Korea's GDP per capita is expected to exceed the 10,000 US dollar mark. Korean musicals have also entered the fast lane of development.
Song Yi took into account that New Asia Music has not been able to launch influential boy bands and girl bands in the past two years. After taking the lead, New Asia Music and Seoul Art Troupe launched relevant cooperation in musicals. Many idol artists under SM Entertainment have starred in musicals, including Kim Taeyeon, Jessica Jung, and Seohyun from Girls' Generation, and Jung Yunho and Kim Jaejoong from TVXQ.
Song Yi researched the data and found that in Korea's musical market at that time, Cho Seung-woo was the undisputed king of musicals. Tickets for any musical starring Cho Seung-woo were hard to come by.
The reason why Song Yi knew Cho Seung-woo was because of Son Ye-jin. In 2003, Son Ye-jin, Cho Seung-woo and Jo In-sung starred in the movie "A Moment to Remember" directed by Kwak Zairong.
At the time, Song Yi only noticed Son Ye-jin's agility, but after rewatching the movie later, he realized that Cho Seung-woo was actually the best actor in the movie, even better than Jo In-sung.
Since Kim Tae-hee has been confirmed as the heroine of Shin Asia Entertainment's big-budget TV series "Dae Jang Geum" next year, it is not a bad idea for her to hone her acting skills in a musical in advance.
You should know that Cho Seung-woo's debut film "The Tale of Chunhyang" became the first Korean film nominated for the Cannes Film Festival.
After these two months, Kim Tae-hee found that her boyfriend's social status had obviously improved. Song Yi now controls a medium-sized media group. Not only that, Song Yi is also planning to buy a mansion worth tens of billions of won in Seongbuk-dong or Itaewon.
Seongbuk-dong and Itaewon are the real gathering places for chaebols, where both the Samsung family and the Hyundai family live.
The mansions of Korean chaebols all have a characteristic. They all raise the entire ground level by one floor. The first floor is a closed garage, and the second floor is the entrance to the garden and the main building, fully ensuring the privacy of the richest people in Seoul. The slope and pine trees in front of the garage door are the symbols of the chaebol.
Kim Tae-hee agrees with the acting career path planned for her by her boyfriend. She now has a sense of crisis and wants to keep up with her boyfriend's pace of progress.
Seeing that Jin Taixi had no doubts, Song Yi hugged Jin Taixi and said, "Tell your sister that we will have dinner together tonight. If you finish class early, go to the supermarket to buy some vegetables and I will cook."
Kim Tae Hee agreed quickly and smiled, "Okay, I haven't seen OPPA for a long time. I'll prepare a bottle of red wine and we'll drink together tonight."
Song Yi said goodbye to Kim Tae-hee and went to another parking lot near the apartment, driving his newly purchased Hyundai Elantra to Song Suying's beauty salon.
The first time is new, the second time is familiar. Song Yi was familiar with the route this time. He drove directly into the beauty salon's underground parking lot and then took the special elevator to the fifth floor.
Song Yi also prepared a gift for Song Suying, a Tiffany bracelet, "I brought it from Hong Kong Island, everyone who sees it can have it, please don't despise it, senior sister."
Song Suying was pleasantly surprised. After trying it on, she found that the size was just right and she was very satisfied. "My husband even forgot to buy me a gift. You are so thoughtful, my junior. Thank you!" Song Suying generously hugged Song Yi to express her gratitude.
She did not forget to remind Song Yi, "Fuzhen is waiting for you at the old place. She seems to be in a bad mood. Women just need to be coaxed more. Come on!" Song Suying blinked mischievously.
Chen Fuzhen seemed really tired. Although she was sleeping on her side, there was an unresolved sadness between her brows. Her face was a little pale, like a quiet water lily.
Song Yi sat next to Chen Fuzhen. He rarely saw Chen Fuzhen so weak, and he couldn't help but feel pity for her. He sat next to her and didn't wake her up.
Chen Fuzhen slept for a while. She seemed to notice someone coming into the lounge. When she opened her eyes, she saw Song Yi's caring eyes.
Chen Fuzhen was a little uncomfortable and was about to get up, but Song Yi stopped her, "Since you are tired, take a good rest for a while. My business is not urgent."
Chen Fuzhen asked Song Yi, "When did you come?"
Song Yi looked at his watch and said, "I have been here for about half an hour. President Chen came here in such a hurry. Is there something important that he wants to discuss with me?"
When Chen Fuzhen heard Song Yi call her "President Chen", her face changed and her mood instantly became very bad. "It's nothing, Representative Song, you just returned to China, your girlfriend must miss you very much, you should go back and accompany your girlfriend!"
When Song Yi heard this, he complained in his heart that women change their attitudes faster than turning the pages of a book. Song Yi was ready to get closer to her, "Sister Fuzhen, since you asked me to come here, you must have something important to discuss with me. How could I leave you here alone?"
The first time Chen Fuzhen heard Song Yi call her "Sister Fuzhen", she felt a little strange. For the sake of face, she said coldly: "Song representative, please respect yourself. I have a husband. Do you and I know each other well? Please don't call me so intimately!"
Song Yi felt that something bad was going to happen. It was wrong to call him "President Chen" or "Sister Fuzhen". Chen Fuzhen had no intention of leaving her alive. Could it be that her period was irregular recently? If he gave up in the face of difficulties, it would not be Song Yi's style. He directly took his hands and hugged Chen Fuzhen's waist, "Fuzhen, we left a wonderful memory here last time. Have you forgotten it so quickly? Isn't it too ruthless?"
Chen Fuzhen was furious when she heard Song Yi say that. She looked at Song Yi angrily, "Song Yi, you bastard, you are still talking about beautiful memories, what beautiful things! Do you know that I am pregnant because of what you, a bastard, did here!"
When Song Yi heard Chen Fuzhen say this, he was petrified for a moment and didn't react for a long time. Chen Fuzhen is pregnant?
Although Song Yi has had many girlfriends in his two lives, he has no children. This is because before his rebirth, Song Yi was a non-marriageist. He believed that life is short and one should enjoy it while he can. There is no need to let children constrain one's life.
Song Yi remembered that Chen Fuzhen didn't get pregnant until around 2008 and had her first child. She became a mother after more than ten years of marriage, which shows that Chen Fuzhen herself is not a person who can easily get pregnant.
So last time in the lounge, it was dark and Song Yi was too embarrassed to ask Song Suying for Okamoto or something. Song Yi and Chen Fuzhen were too passionate at the time, so neither of them took any safety measures.
Chen Fuzhen knew that it was not easy for her to get pregnant, and then she was busy with company affairs, so she forgot about it. As a result, when her period was late, she secretly bought a test strip and found out that she was pregnant.
Chen Fuzhen was a little confused. She had already separated from You Zaishi. If she was exposed to be pregnant, who would be blamed? Chen Fuzhen wanted to contact Song Yi immediately, but Song Yi actually returned to China and stayed there for more than half a month.
Chen Fuzhen did not dare to tell Song Yi about her pregnancy through phone call or text message, for fear that the news would be noticed by someone with ulterior motives. If the eldest princess of Samsung was exposed to have a lover outside and was pregnant, Chen Jianxi and Luo Hongxi would be so angry that they would die.
Song Yi had calmed down by now. He certainly knew the seriousness of the matter. He asked Chen Fuzhen, "So, do you plan to keep this child or not?"
Chen Fuzhen was a little entangled. She knew that abortion was the most appropriate choice at this time, but she was also worried that it would be difficult for her to get pregnant again after the abortion. After all, her physique made it difficult for her to get pregnant. She didn't know whether she should blame Song Yi for having such a good seed that he gave birth to a boy in one go. Chen Fuzhen said to Song Yi, "You are the father of the child. I want to hear your opinion."
Song Yi looked at Chen Fuzhen and said, "I hope you can give birth to the child. Didn't you want to kill the father and keep the son? This will fulfill your wish. Of course, after the child is born, I agree that he will take your surname Chen."
Chen Fuzhen was seriously considering Song Yi's suggestion. She couldn't help but sneer, "Of course the child should have the surname Chen. Should he take your surname Song?"
Song Yi said firmly: "If you need it, I have no problem. I will go back and explain it to Tai Xi and ask for her forgiveness. After you and You Zaizhi divorce, I will propose to President Chen."
Chen Fuzhen looked at Song Yi's determined eyes and knew that Song Yi was not just saying it casually to perfunctorily. She sighed faintly, "In this way, I will become the third party who interferes with your relationship with Tae Hee, which is like holding someone hostage to take power. If we get married, even if both families agree, we will inevitably become the focus of everyone's gossip, and I must leave Samsung. This is not what I want."
Song Yi knew that Chen Fuzhen wanted to inherit the Samsung family business more. Compared with this goal, love, family affection and children can be put aside. Wasn't the reason why she was willing to marry a poor security guard in order to stay with Samsung? How could she give up the lofty goal of inheriting Samsung for Song Yi and the children?
Chen Fuzhen felt much better when she saw that Song Yi was willing to take responsibility. "Actually, I am also planning to give birth to the child. I plan to move back and live with that guy for a while. This way, when I reveal the news of my pregnancy in a few months, no one will suspect it."
Song Yi was a little worried. "No, I heard that he has a tendency to domestic violence. If he hurts you and the child, I will go crazy."
Chen Fuzhen comforted Song Yi, "Don't worry, he has no chance to touch me. I am just pretending to be like that in front of my parents and the outside media. I will divorce him before the child is born. How can I let such a useless guy become the nominal father of Chen Fuzhen's child!"
Song Yi and Chen Fuzhen discussed the details and decided to reduce the number of times they met. After the child was born, Song Yi and Chen Fuzhen must find a suitable name to maintain normal contact.
Chen Fuzhen said to Song Yi: "If I can take over as the chairman of Samsung, then our child will be the next leader of Samsung in the future. With this in mind, shouldn't you stand by me and support me without hesitation?"
When Song Yi heard this, he felt that what Chen Fuzhen said made sense. If the previous cooperation between Song Yi and Chen Fuzhen was more out of interests, then Chen Fuzhen and Song Yi would undoubtedly become natural allies, because they would have an additional bond that could alleviate the conflict of interests between the two.
Song Yi promised, "Don't worry, I will definitely use all of Xinya's resources to help you become the chairman of Samsung. I will support you without hesitation."
Chen Fuzhen looked outside with a complicated expression, and said to Song Yi: "Now I am pregnant, only you and I know. If I announce the news of my pregnancy, Song Suying may guess who the father of the child is, so for safety reasons, we must drag her into it."
Chen Fuzhen told Song Yi about her plan. Song Yi was very embarrassed when he heard it. Song Suying was his senior and his father's student. She helped him a lot and he had a good impression of her. Song Yi and Chen Fuzhen conspired to plot against Song Suying, which gave people a feeling of crossing the river and destroying the bridge.
"Song Yi, I am informing you, not discussing with you. If you don't want to, I will abort the child when I go back. You must know that being kind to others is being cruel to yourself! Don't you even understand this truth?" Chen Fuzhen scolded Song Yi.
Song Yi was silent, and Chen Fuzhen sighed, "I'll call Song Suying over. It's up to you whether to do it or not. A man who is too soft-hearted is not worthy of being my, Chen Fuzhen's, ally!"
