I want to be a chaebol - Chapter 233 Pan-SA Ecosystem

As soon as Song Yi walked away from Xu Meijing, Song Suying walked slowly to Song Yi’s side. She glared at Song Yi and reminded him, “It’s not good for you to provoke anyone. You must provoke her. When she insisted on asking me to introduce a partner to her daughter, I made excuses to push it away. Some women just play it off, and some Don’t touch women, don’t eat the mutton and make yourself a mess.”

Song Yi could feel Song Suying’s concern, but he did not forget to joke with Song Suying, “Senior, I don’t understand. What kind of women can be touched and what kind of women cannot be touched? For example, can someone like Senior be touched? “

Seeing that no one heard their conversation, Song Suying rolled her eyes at Song Yi and said, “Are you just relying on Taixi to tolerate you, and you are becoming lawless? I should really call my aunt, expose your true face, and let her Come to Seoul to deal with you.”

Song Yi explained: “I am interested in the land in Gyeongsangbuk-do held by Xu Meijing and plan to buy it. Xu Meijing also begged me to introduce a partner to her daughter, so we chatted for a while. She is better than her in appearance, figure, and temperament. If I’m not as good as Sister Suying, why should I sacrifice the near and the distant to please her?”

Song Suying saw Song Yi acting like a rogue and said, “I really want to take a camera and take a picture so that SA employees can appreciate President Song’s wise and powerful appearance.”

At this time, Song Suying noticed someone coming to see Song Yi. She kept her story short and said, “I will ask Sister Enxuan to go skiing at Elysian Resort with us recently. If you have time, come and find us. I have business with you.”

Song Yi’s attitude suddenly became serious, “Okay, Sister Suying.”

The person who came to Song Yi was also an acquaintance. She was Gu Yanjing, the eldest daughter of LG Group Chairman Gu Guangsheng. Song Yi met her at the wedding of Gu Guangmo and Zhou Zhiyi.

Goo Yeon-kyung’s fiancé is SA Telecom CEO Kim Myung-gyu. The two have reached the point of discussing marriage and plan to get married next year.

Kim Myung-gyu was previously the president of LG GNS, and later became the president of SA Telecom on the recommendation of Gu Guangmo.

Ju Yanjing did not come alone. There was a short-haired beauty next to her. Gu Yanjing pulled the short-haired beauty towards Song Yi. The short-haired beauty was still a little restrained. She noticed that Song Yi was looking at her, she unnaturally smoothed her hair around her ears, and then smiled lightly at Song Yi.

Song Suying noticed the actions of Gu Yanjing and the others, and shook her head helplessly, “It seems that you are really popular. Gu Yanjing is getting married soon, and she is the fiancée of your subordinate. Don’t mess with her. LG is your only ally among the five major consortiums.” Song Suying reminded emphatically.

Song Yi had a dark look on his face, “Sister Suying, I know the importance. I’m not the kind of person who can’t move when I see a beautiful woman -“

Before Song Yi finished speaking, Gu Yanjing had already walked over, bent down to say hello to Song Suying, and then said: “Director Song, Aunt Zhien and I have something to do with President Song, so I won’t disturb your discussion, right?” ?”

Song Suying politely responded to their greetings, “Zhien, Yanjing, you guys talk, I just happened to have finished talking to him.”

When Song Yi heard about Aunt Zhien, she immediately understood the identity of the short-haired beauty. She was Gu Zhien, the third generation member of the LG family.

Gu Zhien’s father is Samsung’s son-in-law Gu Zixue, and his mother is Chen Jianxi’s sister Chen Shuxi. Because of her mother Chen Sook-hee, Koo Ji-eun previously worked for Samsung and only returned to the family business Aiweihong Foods last year.

Samsung founder Chen Byung-cheol passed away in 1987. Fu Nansun, the wife of the eldest son Chen Mengxi, received shares in CheilJedang and Samsung Marine Fire Insurance, but the second daughter Chen Sookxi received nothing.

Chen Jianxi bluntly said that it was a mistake for his sister Chen Shuxi to marry the son of the founder of LG. If she inherited Samsung’s subsidiary, the property would be transferred to a competitor and would not be given to her.

Chen Shuxi later joined forces with Chen Mengxi and Samsung Chairman Chen Jianxi to fight the inheritance company. As a result, the lawsuit lasted for thirty years without winning.

The reason why Goo Ji-eun returned to work at Aiweihong Food was because she and her husband Ji Sangyu divorced. After the divorce, Ji Sangyu immediately married the famous Korean movie star Shim Eunha.

Shen Yinhe’s ex-boyfriend was Li Yingai’s current boyfriend Zheng Haoyong. Shen Yinhe and Zheng Haoyong were about to get married, but Li Yingai intervened in their relationship and the mistress took over.

If Lee Young-ae hadn’t gained Song Yi’s recognition during the Lee Eun-joo case, she would have become famous again by starring in “Dae Jang Geum” as the second female lead, Choi Jin-young, and would have gotten rid of the passive situation in the film and television industry where everyone was shouting. Therefore, Lee Young Ae has maintained a good personal relationship with Song Yi and SA Pictures.

In 2002, conservative candidate Lee Chang-hui participated in the South Korean presidential election. After Lee Chang-hui lost the election, when he visited Stanford University, Ji Shangyu accompanied him and won Lee Chang-hui’s trust.

At present, Lee Changhui seems unwilling to lose two consecutive presidential elections. Lee Changhui has set his sights on the 2007 presidential election. Ji Sangyu is regarded as Lee Changhui’s right-hand man. In the next 10 years, he also tried to run for mayor of Seoul. Although he failed, He was still successfully elected as a member of Congress.

Ji Sangyu’s father is the president of a small and medium-sized enterprise with assets worth tens of billions of won. However, this guy is handsome and speaks well, so he has won the favor of Gu Ji Eun and Shen Yinhe of the LG family one after another.

Chi Shangyu got married to Shen Yinhe in a low-key manner this year. After the marriage, Shen Yinhe was very low-key, turning down many film appointments and focusing on caring for her husband and raising children. However, there were also rumors of Shen Yinhe’s suicide later, and it seems that his marriage to Chi Shangyu was not a happy one.

Gu Yanjing first introduced Gu Zhien to Song Yi, “President Song, this is my aunt Gu Zhien. She is now the head of the procurement and logistics department of Aiweihong Food. She has some company business she wants to find. You help.”

Song Yi quickly shook hands with Ju Zhien. Judging from the relationship, Ju Zhien should be the cousin of Chen Fuzhen and Chen Xinyu. “Hello, Minister Goo.”

“President Song, it’s like this. I want to put the food produced by Aiweihong on Sohan.com for sale. However, Souhan.com believes that the types of food we provide are far less than Aiweihong’s offline stores, so for the time being, We don’t agree with us opening selected stores on Sohan.com,” said Koo Ji-eun.

Song Yi understood. Sohan.com’s flagship store was divided into ordinary stores, selected stores and selected stores. The channel promotion efforts of the three stores are not the same, and the margins are also different.

The deposit for ordinary stores is 10 million won (60,000 yuan), for preferred store categories it is 20 million won, and for selected stores it is 50 million won.

As a platform, Sohan.com definitely hopes that all stores will have as complete a variety of products as possible, so as to attract more consumers to place orders online.

For example, Uni-President instant noodles have Laotan pickled cabbage beef noodles, tomato stewed beef brisket noodles, pickled pepper beef noodles and other flavors. Among them, the best-selling one is Laotan pickled cabbage beef noodles.

As a result, it has always relied on the unification of offline channels to supply all flavors of instant noodles to offline supermarkets, convenience stores and shopping malls. However, on JD.com, only a few flavors of tomato braised beef brisket noodles and pickled pepper beef noodles are available. The best-selling old noodles Tan Pickled Cabbage Beef Noodles are not supplied to JD.com. It would be damning if JD.com is willing to help Uni-President Instant Noodles with omni-channel promotion.

It is also the flagship store of Sohan.com, and the exposure opportunities of selected stores are much higher than those of the other two types. Sohan.com was unwilling to open a selected store for Aiweihong on the grounds that Aiweihong’s food categories were not complete enough, so Gu Zhien had no choice but to find Song Yi in person for help.

When Gu Yanjing saw that Song Yi and her aunt Gu Zhien had started talking about things, she immediately found a reason to leave. Song Yi and Gu Guangmo have a good personal relationship, so they have a good relationship with Gu Guangsheng’s two daughters. If Song Yi agreed to some of Gu Zhien’s requests for her sake, then LG Group Chairman Gu Guangsheng and Gu Guangmo would blame her for being ignorant.

Aiweihong is not a subsidiary of LG Group. It should belong to a pan-LG company. The brothers of each chairman of LG Group can split off the company they inherited and establish a separate company.

Gu Zixue left Samsung and returned to LG Group, where he devoted himself to the food manufacturing industry of LG Group. Later, he split the company and established Aiweihong Food.

As a pan-LG company, Aiweihong Food has obtained the excellent supply rights of LG Group. The company has also developed rapidly, with annual sales exceeding 500 billion won.

Ju Zixue has one son and three daughters. The eldest son, Gu Bensheng, is very successful and has no academic skills. The other two daughters only inherited the shares and did not participate in the management. Only Koo Ji-eun, who graduated from the Department of Business Administration of Seoul National University, has business talent. However, the LG family is also passed down from male to female, so there is no possibility that Koo Ji-eun will inherit Aiweihong Food.

In 2016, Gu Zhien teamed up with his two sisters Gu Meixian and Gu Mingzhen to drive his eldest brother Gu Bensheng out of Aiweihong Food. Later, Gu Bensheng, not to be outdone, teamed up with his eldest sister Gu Meixian to regain control of Aiweihong Food.

The brother-sister battle between Gu Zhien and Gu Bensheng was ultimately inconclusive, because Gu Mingzhen supported the third sister Gu Zhien, and the two sides were in a fight with no winner.

Song Yi asked: “Minister Gu, the product types listed on Sohan.com are not complete, and there is really no way to open a selected store. If Aiweihong only lists a small number of food types, but opens a selected store, it will undoubtedly pose a threat to other merchants. unfair competition.”

When Ju Zhien heard what Song Yi said, he knew that there was no room for change and looked a little disappointed. “I also know that this request is a bit presumptuous. I’m sorry, President Song, to bother you.”

Song Yi called out to Gu Zhien, “Minister Gu, I guess it was your idea to sell Aiweihong food on Sohan.com, right?”

Ju Zhien didn’t understand why Song Yi suddenly asked, “Yes, President Song is right. How did you guess it?”

“I know that your father basically no longer manages the specific affairs of Aiweihong. Now the company is mainly managed by Representative Gu Bensheng.”

“When Sohan.com was first launched, I took Liu Yongjun to visit representative Gu Bensheng. I hoped that he could open a Aiweihong flagship store on our Souhan.com to sell all kinds of Aiweihong’s food.”

“For the sake of Chairman Koo Bonsung, Representative Koo Bonsung entertained us warmly and said he would hold a meeting to discuss it immediately and give us a reply soon. As a result, almost two years later, the Aiweihong flagship store is still there. It didn’t work.”

“I heard that Minister Ju, your two sisters only received dividends from Aiweihong’s shares and were not interested in participating in the company’s specific operations, so I guessed that opening an Aiweihong flagship store should be your idea.”

“Furthermore, Minister Gu must have studied the operation model of our Sohan.com very deeply, so he opened the Sohan Selection official flagship store for Aiweihong Food,” Song Yi said.

When Gu Zhien heard what Song Yi said, he couldn’t help but want to scold his mother. Aiweihong Food had the opportunity to become the first batch of merchants to settle in Sohan.com, but such a good opportunity was missed by his eldest brother Gu Bensheng.

Gu Zhien now deeply understands what it was that you ignored at first, but now you can’t reach it. You know, in the early days of Sohan.com, Song Yi and Sohan.com head Liu Yongjun took the initiative to come to Aiweihong Food to discuss cooperation.

The last time Goo Benn went to Souhan.com to discuss cooperation, the only person who met her was a vice president of Souhan.com. She sent her away without even seeing Liu Yongjun himself.

“To be honest with Chairman Song, my eldest brother and I do have differences in the direction of running Aiweihong.” Gu Zhien is not afraid of exposing his family scandal, with a bitter smile on his face.

Song Yi agreed, “Minister Gu, from my personal point of view, I would definitely prefer you to take over Aiweihong Food. However, this is an internal matter of your family, and it is not convenient for me to intervene.”

“The LG family has always been a primogeniture system. Your eldest brother now holds the largest share of Aiweihong shares. No matter how capable you are, you will not be able to inherit Aiweihong Food. Why don’t you choose to leave Aiweihong and find another one? place. Maybe take a step back, but the sea is wide enough for fish to leap, and the sky is high for birds to fly.” Song Yi sincerely suggested.

Ju Zhien heard Song Yi’s solicitation and couldn’t help but ask: “President Song, what do you mean?”

“Minister Goo, it’s like this. Although this is the first time I’ve met you, I admire your work ability. Sohan.com is currently short of a vice president in charge of group procurement, and I think you are very suitable.”

“Both SA Soft and Sohan.com are now in a period of rapid development, and we are hungry for all kinds of management talents. I really hope that Minister Goo can seriously consider our Sohan.com.”

“And our SA Soft will complete the US stock market listing in the first half of next year at the latest. If you join our company now, you will not miss the equity incentive plan at the end of the year.” Song Yi revealed a key piece of information.

Gu Zhien gave Song Yi a meaningful look. She didn’t expect that Song Yi would even tell her such important information in advance in order to recruit her.

However, as an emerging consortium, SA Group is indeed in a period of rapid expansion. Anyone with a discerning eye can see the gold content of the SA Telecom subsidiary. Its importance is second only to SA Soft, SA Construction, and ABS TV Station.

Song Yi is willing to appoint Koo Yeon-kyung’s fiancé Kim Myung-gyu as the president of SA Telecom. On the one hand, it shows that SA Group and LG Group are indeed in the honeymoon period of cooperation. On the other hand, it also shows that SA Group currently lacks a large number of senior management talents.

At this time, Song Yi added the final spark, “Minister Gu, I know you don’t want the Aiweihong Food that your father worked so hard to establish to be ruined in the hands of your elder brother.”

“In fact, if you quit Aiweihong Food now and let your eldest brother be responsible for the company’s operations, your father will see that he cannot be reused until the company is unsustainable.”

“When your two sisters are dissatisfied with the current situation of the company and ask for the replacement of company representatives and directors, it will be the best opportunity for you to return to Aiweihong Food. At that time, you will bring our Korean network resources and funds to enter , acquire the shares held by your brother and reorganize the board of directors. This way you can lead Aiweihong Food to rebirth, are you right?” Song Yi said.

“If you stay in Aiweihong now, even if you make some achievements, President Gu Zixue won’t be able to see it. He will only think that your elder brother Gu Bensheng is a good leader. The better you do, the more hostile your elder brother will be to you. , trying to suppress you.”

“Suppose you join Sohan.com and after making achievements in SA Soft. When Aipinhong falls into a business crisis, one is the eldest son who cannot be reused, and the other is the younger daughter who is well managed.”

“If President Juzi does not want to sell Aiweihong to LG Group, then he will have to accept your return to Aiweihong Food and gain control of the company.” Song Yi analyzed.

Gu Zhien was a little suspicious of Song Yi’s intentions, “President Song only met me once, and is he willing to help me get control of Aiweihong Foods in the future?”

Song Yi pondered for a while, “Minister Gu, in fact, I have always positioned SA Group as a large investment company.”

“The combined revenue of South Korea’s top ten consortiums accounts for almost 60% of South Korea’s GDP, and the export volume of one Samsung company accounts for almost 20% of South Korea’s exports.”

“The reason why these companies can maintain their monopoly for a long time is because once they discover a new company with potential, they are prepared to use funds to buy it and make it a group subsidiary. In this way, their subsidiaries will become more and more, and the company body will The volume is also becoming more and more bloated. Once a financial crisis occurs, the huge organizational structure also makes these consortiums less capable of resisting risks. Just like the bankruptcy of Daewoo Group back then, after all, the ship will be difficult to turn around.”

“Since I established Sohan.com, we at SA have been sparing no effort to support small and medium-sized businesses, so that more representative local brands can sell high-quality and low-priced products through Sohan.com to all over Korea and even the world. consumer.”

“SA has been screening out potential companies or individuals and investing in these small companies in advance. Brands such as Anta, Sanduoshui, and Elephant Condiments are long-term partners of our SA.”

“Unlike Samsung’s approach, we have no intention of acquiring these brands, but are willing to provide resources, funds, and technology to help the growth of these brands and build a pan-SA ecosystem around the SA Group, so that everyone can be prosperous and develop collaboratively.”

“Investment means investing in people. I am very optimistic about Minister Gu, so I am willing to invest in you personally in advance.” Song Yi explained.

Song Yi learned this trick from Penguin. Among mainland Internet companies, Penguin is the best investment company. They have invested in many Internet companies such as JD.com, Meituan, and Pinduoduo.

As of June 21, Penguin has invested in more than 800 companies, including more than 100 listed companies and unicorn companies. The market value of its shares in listed companies alone is as high as 1.45 trillion yuan.

Penguin went public last year. Penguin’s little brother admired Liu Chiping who worked at Goldman Sachs and recruited him. Song Yi actually contacted Liu Chiping and asked him to join the SA Capital Fund. However, Liu Chiping rejected Song Yi’s invitation because he preferred to live in Hong Kong Island.

If Song Suying were around, she would definitely pour cold water on Song Yi. Any investment is investment in people. To put it bluntly, you, Song Yi, don’t just think that other people Gu Ji Eun is pretty, you just want to satisfy your hobby of collecting beauties from the five largest chaebol families in Korea.

Goo Ji-eun has also heard of Song Yi’s romantic reputation. There have been rumors that Song Yi plans to gather Korean post-80s actresses. Currently, they have gathered Kim Tae Hee, Song Hye Kyo, Jun Ji Hyun, Son Ye Jin, and Sung Yuri. Only Han Jiaren has escaped Song Yi’s clutches.

In April this year, Han Jiaren and Yeon Zhengxun got married. SA Pictures also sent Han Jiaren a script for “Witch Yoo Hee”. Han Jiaren herself thought the script was brilliant and wanted to star in it. However, due to Song Yi’s reputation, she was a little Undecided.

Gu Zhien thought that SA Group and CJ Group were the top two entertainment media giants in South Korea, and she made a strange request to Song Yi.

“There is no problem for me to join Sohan.com, but I hope President Song can agree to one condition for me.” Ju Zhien raised his head, looked at Song Yi with his head raised, and said with courage.

“Minister Ju, please speak.” Song Yi looked very relaxed.

“I divorced this guy Chi Shangyu last year, and he married Shen Yinhe this year. He is good at pretending, and he flirted with Shen Yinhe before they were divorced on the grounds that they were not in good terms with each other and they had long been separated. , keep in touch.”

Judging from Gu Zhien’s tone, she didn’t have much hatred for Shen Yinhe, but she had a lot of complaints about her ex-husband Chi Shangyu.

“Are you going to ask our SA Films to ban Shen Yinhe so that she can no longer appear in film and television dramas?” Song Yi asked.

“No, this is too cheap for Ji Shangyu. I hope that SA Pictures can invite Shen Yinhe to star in TV series or movies. If possible, I hope that Chairman Song can unofficially return to Shen Yinhe and seduce Ji Shangyu. Guy.” Ju Zhien said bitterly.

When Song Yi heard Ju Zhien’s request, he felt dumbfounded. It would be quite easy if Gu Zhien asked Song Yi to unspoken rules for Li Yingai. Maybe there is no need for Song Yi to dive in. To give you a hint, Li Yingai can obediently crawl into Song Yi’s bed in order to get ahead in the entertainment industry.

But this woman Shen Yinhe is different. After she gets married, she plans to retire and stay at home to care for her husband and raise her children. No one else is planning to join the entertainment industry. No matter how powerful Song Yi is, he can’t force her to come out to film, let alone unspoken rules for others, unless Chi Shangyu goes bankrupt or gets involved in a scandal.

“Minister Gu, you may have misunderstood. I have never made any unwritten rules about any female artist.” Song Yi’s face was very calm. He was indeed right. Although he has slept with many female stars under SA, both of them are you. Love is my wish.

When Gu Zhien heard what Song Yi said, he sighed at Song Yi’s shamelessness, “Forget it, just think it was my angry words. If Shen Yinhe returns to filming in the future, sooner or later, Chairman Song will be blamed. Just sleep with her by the way.”

Song Yi didn’t expect that Gu Zhien had such deep resentment towards Chi Shangyu and his wife. His expression moved and he suggested half-jokingly, “Minister Gu, I may not be able to get revenge on Chi Shang for the time being, and I can’t sleep with his current wife Shen Yinhe. But Gu If the minister is willing to cooperate, I can sleep with Chi Shangyu’s ex-wife first, which is also a kind of revenge on him, what do you think?”

Actually I think Shim Yinhe is prettier than Lee Young Ae!
