"My Naughty Girlfriend" has been released for more than a month, and the number of viewers has exceeded 6 million. According to the statistics of the Film Association, the number of viewers of this movie is expected to exceed 8 million.

The box office champion in 2001 was "Friends" directed by Guo Jingze. This film was described as the Korean version of "Once Upon a Time in America". It is a wonderful crime drama starring Jang Dong-gun and Liu Wuxing.

"Friends" was released on March 31, and the final number of viewers was 8.18 million, surpassing "The Spy" to become the new box office champion. Now the suspense of the question is whether "My Naughty Girlfriend" can surpass "Friends" and become the new king?

Kim Tae-hee's cameo in "My Naughty Girlfriend" was very impressive. The scene where Kim Tae-hee, wearing the Yonsei University uniform, looked back at Song Myung-hee and Morning Glory also became a famous scene in the movie.

Although Song Yi did not show his face, he played a couple with Kim Tae-hee in the movie, and the scene where he hurriedly ran away with his girlfriend Kim Tae-hee was hilarious.

Students from Seoul National University were not happy to see their favorite goddess wearing the uniform of their arch-rival Yonsei University, and expressed their anger on three websites: Yahoo Korea, Naver, and Duam.

This is like a boy from Mizuki University finding a girlfriend from Yenching University. The boy from Mizuki University is of course not happy about it, but it has added new popularity to the movie. There is even a new topic on Naver: "Yonsei University kidnapped Kim Tae-hee."

Not only that, the president of Yonsei University, in an interview with reporters, welcomed Kim Tae-hee to apply for graduate school at Yonsei University.

Zhou Mengxian, Chen Fuzhen and Song Yi are all entrepreneurs who graduated from Yonsei University, and the relationship between Song Yi and Kim Tae-hee is no secret.

Song Miao entered Zhongguancun No. 3 Primary School and started the first grade. Liao Yu and Song Miao's household registration had been moved from Yeji to Haidian. It is not that difficult to get into No. 3 Primary School now. It takes ten years, and the household registration must be completed for three years. In addition, two students cannot be enrolled in the same school district house at the same time.

On the first day of school, Song Mingzhe, Zhou Shulan and Liao Yu came together to send Song Miao to school. The school gate was full of cars, and Liao Yu's BMW 5 Series was not particularly conspicuous.

Song Mingzhe was a little angry when he didn't see Song Yi. "Miaomiao starts school today, but he, as an uncle, didn't know to come. If he was asked to pick up Miaomiao after school, the teacher wouldn't recognize him."

Liao Yu quickly advised, "Dad, Xiaoyi is really busy recently. If he has time, he will definitely come over. Look at Miaomiao's schoolbag, which was specially bought by Xiaoyi from Japan."

Song Mingzhe looked at Song Miao's schoolbag and was a little worried that Song Miao would develop a competitive personality. He said, "A schoolbag costs tens of thousands of yen, which is enough for half a month's salary for me. I don't know who learned to spend money so lavishly!"

Zhou Shulan patted Song Mingzhe on the shoulder and said, "Okay, I didn't ask you to spend any money, so why are you talking so much?"

Liao Yu smiled. In fact, she didn't recommend Song Miao to use such a good schoolbag, but Japanese schoolbags were indeed sturdy and durable, could hold a lot of things, and had no obvious logos, so she agreed.

"Miaomiao, listen carefully in class at school and tell your teacher if you have any problems, such as going to the bathroom. Grandma will pick you up after school, so don't run around by yourself. Do you hear me?" Liao Yu educated her daughter.

Song Yi is indeed very busy at the moment. After 9/11, the US stock market will experience a sharp drop, and he has begun to prepare to short the US stock market. Song Yi has raised US$100 million in funds this time.

New Asia Media borrowed $200 million, of which $120 million was used to buy shares of Eshan Group, and the rest was used to acquire DSP Entertainment, Shin Cine, and New Asia Building. Song Yi's $100 million included $20 million of his own funds and $80 million of loans.

According to the current leverage rules, Song Yi can short a maximum of US$2.5 billion worth of stocks. US$2.5 billion worth of stocks may seem like a lot, but it is nothing compared to the US stock market value of trillions of dollars.

However, the amount of funds used in this short selling was relatively large, and Song Yi did not complete the positions in batches until September 10. This time, Song Yi shorted a total of 50 stocks at the same time, with a total market value of US$2 billion.

In addition to shorting U.S. stocks, Song Yi also bought gold and oil, and purchased stocks in the U.S. security industry.

After 911, the US stock market plummeted. In order to avoid risks, funds will sell a large number of US stocks and buy gold and oil. Gold and oil will usher in a multi-year bull market, and the stocks of the security industry will also usher in a surge.

On September 11, 2001, Xinya Network had completed the installation of all servers. On the same day, the "Ten Thousand People Internal Test with Prizes" activity was launched. Servers from NetEase, Sina, and China Unicom were launched one after another, and more and more people in major Internet cafes joined the ranks of "Legend of Mir 2".

At this time, Song Yi had already flown back to Seoul and was directing the subsequent financial battle in his office in the New Asia Building.

For this battle, Song Yi specially invited Li Yizhi from Eshan Group. Li Yizhi is the former president of Hyundai Securities and is familiar with shorting the stock market.

Song Yi was in charge of command, Li Yizhi was in charge of execution, Jin Xiyuan and Jiang Xiuna were in charge of coordination, mobilizing Xinya's huge overseas funds.

Li Yizhi heard that Song Yi was going to build a short position of up to 2 billion US dollars, and he couldn't help but take a deep breath. If the US stock market did not fall as Song Yi expected, the 80 million US dollars that Song Yi invested would all go down the drain, and he would have to start all over again.

By then, New Asia Media would owe the bank hundreds of millions of dollars in loans, and the company might even go bankrupt, and Song Yi would personally lose another 20 million dollars. Song Yi would have almost nothing except New Asia Network and New Asia Investment in the mainland.

Song Yi has also considered this issue. If the 9/11 incident had not happened and the US stock market had not plummeted, Song Yi would still have a way out.

Song Yi's family trust fund owns 30% of Penguin shares, and New Asia Investment holds 4.65% of NetEase shares. Even if "Legend of Mir 2" is not as popular as expected, Song Yi can still return to China and become a rich man.

In order to strengthen the confidence of Li Yizhi and others, Song Yi revealed his brilliant achievements in the B-share market. When they learned that Song Yi invested 10 million US dollars and earned 30 million US dollars in profits, they all began to believe in Song Yi's judgment.

On the morning of September 11th, US time, two hijacked civilian airliners crashed into World Trade Center Building 1 and Building 2 respectively. The two buildings collapsed one after another after the attack.

Kim Hee-won and Kang Soo-na watched the news on TV, their faces filled with sadness and disbelief, "Oh my God!"

Song Yi watched the news intently, and he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. Fortunately, Song Yi, the little butterfly, did not change history. If Song Yi invested 5 billion US dollars and established a short position of hundreds of billions of US dollars, the 911 incident might have to be changed.

Like the Pearl Harbor incident, the US intelligence agencies had already received information before the 9/11 incident. Some people also believe that the 9/11 incident was an excuse for the US to send troops to Afghanistan.

Li Yizhi observed Song Yi and felt secretly frightened. After Zheng Enxuan and Song Yi joined forces, they had actually sidelined him.

As the executive director of Eshan Group and the second-in-command of Eshan Group, Li Yiji, to a certain extent, represents Zhou Mengxian's will.

The old employees of Eshan Group originally thought that Zheng Enxuan was just a figurehead and that Li Yizhi was actually in charge of the company's operations. They were even more dissatisfied with Song Yi, a young man.

After Zheng Enxuan and Song Yi became the number one and number two shareholders of Eshan Group, Li Yiji faced the reality and gave in to Song Yi.

After all, the old employees close to Li Yizhi were gradually marginalized, while Zheng Enxuan and Song Yi's people had expanded to every department of Eshan Group. The situation was stronger than the people, and Li Yizhi had to bow his head.

Since Li Yizhi had given in, the old employees of Eshan Group naturally did not dare to continue to make trouble. Song Yi considered that Li Yizhi was indeed a talent and there was no need to continue suppressing him, so he asked him to come and help him operate the stock market.

Once Li Yizhi witnesses his dominance in the U.S. stock market, he will probably completely give up the idea of ​​competing with him for power in Eshan Group, even if Zhou Mengxian is released from prison.

The day after the 9/11 incident, the Dow Jones Industrial Average plummeted 7% in one day, setting a record for the largest single-day drop, and the Nasdaq 100 Index continued to fall.

On September 17, the U.S. stock market resumed trading. The Nasdaq index fell for a week and fell below 1,400 points on September 21. On September 18, U.S. stocks fell sharply. Song Yi closed a quarter of his short positions, making a profit of 24 million yuan, and his book profit reached 60 million US dollars.

On September 19, U.S. stocks continued to plummet, and Song Yi closed half of his short positions, making a profit of US$40 million, with a book profit of US$120 million.

On September 20, the President of the United States delivered a speech in Congress, which calmed the market and temporarily stopped the decline of U.S. stocks. Song Yi closed his short positions again and part of his short positions, making a total profit of 150 million U.S. dollars.

On September 20, Song Yi once again added $250 million in short positions. Black Thursday occurred, and the Nasdaq and Dow Jones indexes plummeted again, with the Nasdaq 100 index falling below 1,400 points. Song Yi sold all his short positions, and this time he shorted the U.S. stock market, making a total profit of $500 million! Song Yi knew that the U.S. stock market had not yet bottomed out, and the Nasdaq 100 index had been falling, falling to 800 points in 2002.

In 2000, the U.S. stock market was at the end of a big bull market, and the price-earnings ratio of the Nasdaq 100 was 85 times. No stock market in the world can maintain a price-earnings ratio of more than 30 times for a long time, which is the source of the Internet bubble.

After selling all the short positions, Song Yi breathed a sigh of relief. With these 500 million US dollars, he could do a lot of things next.

The US$500 million is currently still in the overseas account of the New Asia system, and Song Yi has no intention of using this money for the time being.

From 2002 to the financial crisis in 2009, the US stock market will usher in a long-term bull market, and technology stocks represented by Google, Apple and Microsoft will bottom out and rebound next year. After shorting Perfect World, Song Yi can slowly increase his holdings of these companies' stocks.

You don't have to rush to repay the bank's loan. When you have money, the bank will only find ways to lend you money. When you don't have money, the bank will urge you to repay the money as soon as possible. Song Yi became famous in the capital market this time! However, Song Yi is not the most glorious investor. Thaler, the founder of Empirica Capital, bought a large number of put options with very low exercise prices before 9/11. This is a low-cost way to short the US stock market.

When the black swan of 911 appeared, the US stock market plummeted, and Taleb made dozens of times in just a few days. Taleb is also known as the father of the black swan in the capital market. In comparison, Song Yi's 5 times profit is nothing.

In March 2024, the U.S. stock market was halted, but the Global Fund managed by Mark Spienagle earned 36 times the profit during the halt period, becoming the biggest winner of this epic shock in the U.S. stock market. He adopted the same operation method as Taleb.

Even capital giants like Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley built a lot of short positions to hedge risks before the 9/11 incident.

If Song Yi got a sip of soup from overseas capital giants in the B-share market in 2001, Song Yi really made a profit in the US stock market this time.

Li Yizhi looked at Song Yi with envy. Shorting US stocks allowed Song Yi to officially enter the ranks of the top rich people in South Korea. In the entire Hyundai family, Song Yi's personal wealth was second only to Zhou Mengjiu of Hyundai Motor, and had surpassed Zhou Mengzhun of Hyundai Heavy Industries.

"Congratulations, President Song. You have accomplished your mission this time." Li Yizheng congratulated Song Yi.

This time, Song Yi also witnessed Li Yizhi's ability. If Li Yizhi continues to stay in Eshan Group as a figurehead executive, it would indeed be a waste of talent.

"I plan to upgrade New Asia Investment Co., Ltd. to New Asia Capital Fund, focusing on venture capital and equity investment, with an initial investment of 100 million US dollars. New Asia Capital is currently lacking a suitable helmsman. If you agree, I will appoint you as the CEO of New Asia Capital. As for Chairman Zheng and Uncle Meng Xian, I will say hello to them." Song Yi extended an olive branch to Li Yiji.

Li Yizhi was silent for a while. He was Song Yi's superior in Eshan Group. If he joined New Asia Capital as CEO, he would become Song Yi's direct subordinate.

If Song Yi is willing to invest $100 million and raise some funds through Japan, South Korea and Hong Kong, the capital scale of New Asia Capital can reach about $1 billion. After all, Song Yi's performance in B shares and US stocks is indeed very dazzling.

"Thank you, President Song. I will seriously consider it and give you a reply in two days." Li Yizhi replied respectfully. Of course, it is very tempting to be able to manage a $1 billion venture capital fund, but he also has to consider other factors.

Jin Xiyuan looked at Song Yi, her eyes almost melting, and asked, "What if Li Yizhi is unwilling to join New Asia Capital?"

Song Yi replied, "He will join, but he is embarrassed to betray Zhou Mengxian right away. Working for Zhou Mengxian and working for me are two different concepts. If he really doesn't want to join, I will also give him $1 million worth of Eshan Group stocks as his compensation for the next few days."

Jin Xiyuan was impressed by Song Yi's generosity. If Li Yizhi joined New Asia Capital, she believed that his compensation would be more than 1 million US dollars. Song Yi might even reward Li Yizhi with shares of New Asia Capital.

There was no one else in the office. Song Yi sat on a chair, and Jin Xiyuan leaned on the table in front of Song Yi. Jin Xiyuan was wearing a white shirt and a gray skirt today, and her black long silk and white high heels were particularly eye-catching.

Song Yi knew that Jin Xiyuan had been looking at him, so he touched his face and said, "Is there something on my face? Why are you looking at me? I know I'm handsome, but you don't have to keep staring at me."

Jin Xiyuan couldn't hold it in any longer, "Who would praise himself for being handsome? You are so shameless. How did you know that the U.S. stock market would plummet?" Jin Xiyuan witnessed with her own eyes these few days how Song Yi calmly commanded everyone and earned an astonishing fortune of 500 million US dollars in just half a month.

Although the money was not hers, she still felt her heart pounding. The feeling of nervousness and excitement was always with her. On the contrary, Song Yi remained calm.

"I was just gambling. I thought there was a bubble in the U.S. stock market. It was just that I was lucky and I made the right bet this time," said Song Yi.

The halo of $500 million shrouds Song Yi, making Jin Xiyuan particularly admire the man in front of her. She is now a little worried about her sister Jin Taixi. Taixi is of course excellent, but can Taixi really keep such an outstanding man?

Jin Xiyuan recalled what she said to Song Yi on Valentine's Day this year, "You didn't see me as pretty and deliberately wanted to start a company to support me and Tae Hee, did you?"

As the executive director of Shin-Asia Media, Kim Hee-won has heard a lot of rumors in the company. Song Yi, such a young and handsome boss, is naturally the center of gossip.

New Asia Media has signed two beauties, Song Hye Kyo and Jun Ji Hyun, in succession, and Song Hye Kyo, Jun Ji Hyun and Song Yi have a close relationship.

Some employees also talked about Jin Xiyuan, saying that she was very lucky. She was just the sister of Song Yi's girlfriend, but she could become an executive of a medium-sized media company.

Kim Hee-won was helpless. When New Asia Entertainment was first established, it was just a small workshop. Kim Hee-won is Kim Tae-hee's agent and also serves as a director of New Asia Entertainment.

Who would have thought that in less than half a year, Shin-Asia Entertainment would grow into a media giant with assets worth hundreds of billions of won through acquisitions and mergers.

In order to keep up with the pace of the company's development, Jin Xiyuan is also constantly working hard to learn. During the promotion of "My Naughty Girlfriend", Jin Xiyuan almost went to every theater for the road show, fearing that the activities would be missed. Because she also knows that people's words are scary, and she is afraid that people will say that she got to the top through nepotism.

But she could not avoid rumors. Those who were jealous of her not only said that she got to the top through nepotism, but also said that she used her beauty to please men.

On the surface, Kim Tae-hee is Song Yi's girlfriend, but in fact, Kim Hee-won is also Song Yi's girlfriend. The fact that Kim Tae-hee and Kim Hee-won moved into Song Yi's mansion in Seongbuk-dong together is evidence. How could a girlfriend's sister always live in her sister's boyfriend's house? Kim Hee-won thought about moving out, but Kim Tae-hee persuaded her. Kim Hee-won was also unwilling to leave the mansion and move back into the apartment. Maybe Kim Hee-won didn't want to be so far away from Song Yi in her heart? When the employees were discussing whether Song Yi liked Kim Tae-hee, Song Hye-kyo or Jun Ji-hyun more, one employee gave the answer, "Kim Tae-hee is the queen, Song Hye-kyo and Jun Ji-hyun can only be regarded as concubines. Besides, Song Hye-kyo and Jun Ji-hyun are at most one person, how can they be as powerful as the two sisters Kim Tae-hee working together!"

At that time, Jin Xiyuan was in the bathroom. She hid in the bathroom and didn't dare to come out. She was very angry, but she didn't dare to come out to defend herself. If she punished the employee in person, the rumor would only intensify. At that time, the whole company would say that she helped her sister Jin Taixi to win favor, and she couldn't say that there was nothing wrong between her and Song Yi. Thinking of this, Jin Xiyuan sat on Song Yi's lap, and the two faced each other. Jin Xiyuan knew that except Jiang Xiu Na, no one else would come into this office, and she didn't have to worry about others catching her and Song Yi doing something.

Jin Xiyuan held Song Yi's cheek and kissed him. (End of this chapter)
