I want to be a chaebol.

Chapter 141 The richest intern in South Korea
Since Xinya Media plans to launch a TV station, it must have a top variety show on the TV station. Song Yi set his sights on "Love Letter" and "X-Man". After repeated consideration, Song Yi decided to launch "X-Man" first, "Love Letter" is placed at the back.

The show "Love Letter" was not originally positioned as a regular variety show, but more like a temporary idea. It was a star variety show specially customized by the TV station and Good Entertainment for the return of Shinhwa Group.

The guest list for the first season of Love Letter is composed of Shinhwa group members + three comedians Cheon Myung-hoon, Shin Jung-hwan, and Kim Jong-min.

Kang Ho-dong serves as the host of Love Letter, and invites a goddess from the Korean entertainment industry in each episode. Then in the game segment of the variety show, the male guests radiate their charm to the goddess, and the goddess selects the No. 1 with the best impression and is elected the perfect man.

The design of this variety show is very clever. The Shinhwa group are all handsome guys who are good at singing and dancing. The only female guest in the show can easily get enough opportunities to appear on the show.

In order to win the favor of the goddess, a group of handsome guys show off their talents in front of the goddess. This setting where all the top idols in Korea are jealous of you alone can easily capture young female fans.

The reason why Song Yi did not consider releasing "Love Letter" first was because the contract between Shinhwa Group and SM Entertainment expired in May 03.

If Shinhwa Group withdraws from SM Entertainment, it will become a question whether Shinhwa Group will continue to record the second and third seasons of "Love Letter".

"X-Man" does not have this concern. The host of this show is Liu Jae Suk, and the two deputy hosts serve as captains of the two teams. Each episode will invite ten men and six women to star, and most of the guests are from the Korean entertainment industry. Popular stars include stars in various fields such as singers, actors, advertisements, and sports.

The participating guests of "X-Man" and "Love Letter" are highly overlapping, so many Korean variety show fans confuse the two shows.For example, one of the deputy hosts of "X-Man" is the world's strongest man Kang Ho-dong.

If New Asia can replace Lee Soo Man as the largest shareholder of SM Entertainment in early [-], then Song Yi will renew his contract with Shinhwa Group, and it doesn't matter if the conditions are looser.

Shinhwa Group is a rare long-lived group in the Korean entertainment industry. They have been active in the Korean entertainment industry for 22 years as a complete five-member group.

The reason why this group has been able to last for so long is not only that the team members are very united and unanimous, but also because the captain Eric has a very charming personality.Many female celebrities in the industry have expressed their love for Eric, such as Lee Hyori, and Eric's girlfriend is Kim Hee Sun who starred in "Myth".

According to SM Entertainment's arrangement, TVXQ will not officially debut until the end of [-], so there will be a gap period for idols in SM Entertainment in the second half of [-].

When Shinhwa leaves SM Entertainment and SES is disbanded, it will be difficult for BoA ​​alone to support SM Entertainment, which has a huge family and business.For the long-term development of SM Entertainment, Song Yi feels that it is necessary to renew his contract with Shinhwa Group.

Because Song Yi will launch popular variety shows such as "The Birth of a Family", "Running Man", "Infinite Challenge", and "Two Days and One Night" in the future, Yoo Jae Suk, Lee Hyori, Kim Jong Kook and Cha Tae Hyun are destined to be New Asia Media's own people.

Now New Asia Media already has Lee Hyori and Kim Jong Kook, and Cha Tae Hyun is considered half of them. As long as they sign Yoo Jae Suk, Song Yi will conquer half of the Korean variety show industry.The TV station created by New Asia Media will also become the king of variety shows surpassing the three major TV stations.

The reason why Song Yi values ​​Korean variety shows so much is because of the video websites in the Internet industry. Mainland video websites later formed the four giants of iQiyi, Youku, Penguin Video and Bilibili.

Since inschool launched the documentary "Hello, I'm Song Woo-seok", New Asia Network's Quan Zhouhao has begun to notice the huge demand among netizens for long videos on the website.

In Quan Zhouhao's view, the record "Hello, I am Song Woo-seok" can be arranged to be played in offline cinemas in addition to being played in school.

So on the other hand, can movies and TV dramas originally played in cinemas and TV also be played online?If you build a separate long video website, even if you let users spend some money to subscribe to their film and television services, it should be very promising, right?
After Song Yi listened to Quan Zhouhao's idea, he discovered that Internet executives in this era should not be underestimated. Quan Zhouhao actually wanted to create a Korean version of Netflix.
However, South Korea's three major TV stations and film companies will not easily open their film and television drama copyrights to video websites. This is destined to be a long game.

And except for Netflix, most video websites are actually losing money, so the video websites are getting more and more ugly, such as members-only advertisements, members’ screens being projected on TVs, and the resolution is limited, etc.

However, if New Asia Network plans to launch a video website, it still has many advantages.For example, the video website of New Asia Network can enjoy the exclusive rights to broadcast movies, TV series and variety shows produced by New Asia Media.At that time, Sohu Video introduced the American drama "The Big Bang Theory" and it was still a small hit in China for a while.

Song Yi was thinking about the video website when Jiang Xiuna walked into the office. "Director Liu Yongjun just made a phone call and said that someone from New Asia Network came to interview a management trainee today. He couldn't make up his mind whether he should hire her. I hope that you, the president, will come and help check."

Song Yi was a little annoyed, "What's going on with Liu Yongjun? As a technical director, he is still not sure whether to hire a new employee. If every employee works like him, I, the boss, will be exhausted sooner or later." .”

However, the boss really needs to do it himself. Song Yi, as the investor's representative, knows very well how Panda TV, Principal Wang's business, went bankrupt in his previous life.

Even though Principal Wang invested so much money, he basically had no control over Panda TV and hired the operations team to help manage it. Later, when the company's performance failed, he changed management again, but the result was still no improvement.In the end, Panda TV almost stopped running. Principal Wang was unwilling to stay in the company. The main reason was that he was tired.

NetEase's Ding Sanshi was different. In the first few years after NetEase was founded, any financial reimbursement exceeding RMB [-] required Ding Sanshi's signature.A new employee who switched jobs from CCTV to NetEase applied for tens of thousands of dollars to buy a camera, but was rejected directly by Ding Sanshi.

Although Song Yi and Ding Sanshi don't meet often, they both like to play online games and are the CEOs of mainland Internet companies. The two of them will exchange business management experiences when they have nothing to do.

Since Liu Yongjun called for help, Song Yi naturally had to run downstairs.When Song Yi arrived at Xinya Network, Quan Zhouhao was standing at the elevator entrance waiting for him.

"What's going on?" Song Yi asked Quan Zhouhao first.

"It's like this. HR has already conducted an interview and feels that the newcomer's academic qualifications, work ability, and language skills meet the company's requirements for management trainees. However, the retail business director recommended not to hire this newcomer. HR wants to help her win. So she gave her resume to Director Liu. After reading the resume, Director Liu couldn't make up his mind, so he asked you for help." Quan Zhouhao said.

"Since all the conditions for interviewing new people meet the recruitment standards, why did the head of retail business recommend not to hire her? Call Liu Yongjun over and let me ask about the specific situation." Song Yi was curious, how could anyone push out the talent who came to her door? reason?
Liu Yongjun ran over quickly, and he was a little embarrassed himself, "President, I'm very sorry to disturb your work, but you may really need to decide whether this intern can stay."

"This new interviewer has a special family background. His parents are senior government officials?" Song Yi asked proactively.

"It's like this. The person who came to interview the management trainee today has a very good family situation. The manager of the retail business, Park, feels that she cannot endure hardship and may not be qualified for her job. When the time comes, she will need to recruit new people for training, which will easily delay the retail business. project progress." Liu Yongjun explained.

Song Yi thinks it's funny, family is superior?How superior can it be?The super-rich second generation from chaebol families often work in their own companies. Even if they work in other companies, they are introduced by their parents. It is impossible to send resumes to the mailbox and come to the company for interviews.Song Yi felt that Liu Yongjun was exaggerating and making a mountain out of a molehill.

"The newcomer who was interviewed today was completely dressed in a Chanel women's suit. He was carrying a Hermès Birkin bag worth tens of millions of Korean dollars. The watch he was wearing was a Rolex Datejust series."

"In addition to these, someone saw that her car was a yellow Porsche 911 Turbo downstairs. The salary our Xinya Network gave her was not enough to cover her gas money and car insurance for a year. You said she didn't have it in the first place. If you’re short of money, why come to work at Xinya Network?”

"If her conditions weren't so good, I would have suspected that she was an undercover agent sent by other Internet companies." Liu Yongjun looked helpless.

When Song Yi heard what Liu Yongjun said, he understood immediately.When a boss recruits employees, he definitely doesn’t like to recruit people with good family conditions.

For example, there are employees in their 40s and [-]s, some older than others, and they are still burdened with car and house loans. Even if they want to change jobs, they have to hesitate for a long time.As the breadwinner of the family, he cannot bear the risk of unemployment in middle age.

The investment institution that Song Yi worked for in his previous life was in Puhai. They didn't like to hire local young people in Puhai who owned houses and cars. They felt that they couldn't bear the hardship and would leave their jobs after only a few months. Then they would have to retrain new people. .Of course, except for the second generation who can bring resources to investment institutions. "Then why does HR oppose Director Park's opinion and hand over the resume to you? I guess, because this newcomer is very beautiful? Do you want to benefit the male compatriots in the company?" Song Yi put it bluntly. Mystery.

Like mainland Internet companies, Korean Internet companies have more men than women, and New Asia Network is no exception.

Song Yi nodded at Liu Yongjun, "You really don't have any self-awareness. Others can afford a Hermès Birkin bag, and their annual pocket money is at least several hundred million won. Even if I hire her, why do you think you are If you have the opportunity to kiss Fangze, just because you are near the water and the tower, you will get the moon first?"

"Girls from wealthy families are not fools. They will not be carried away by love. The apple of a chaebol family marries a poor boy who is penniless but knows how to work hard to make progress. This is only seen in Korean dramas. Plot. Are you also stupid after watching TV series?" Song Yi found it very funny.

Liu Yongjun said nonchalantly, "I'm already married, so of course I don't have such thoughts. But this newcomer is indeed very, very beautiful, just like a movie star. Even if no one can catch her, it's good to keep it eye-catching in the company. ah."

The executives of New Asia Network were all poached from other companies. Liu Yongjun came from Han Game and Quan Zhouhao came from CYworld. Unlike other subsidiaries of New Asia Group, the executive team of New Asia Network at least dared to start a business with Song Yi. joke.

Song Yi was now also aroused by Liu Yongjun's curiosity, "Is her resume here? I'll take a look at it first and then decide whether to hire her or not."

Liu Yongjun was obviously ready, and he handed his resume to Song Yi.Song Yi opened the printed resume and was stunned.

"Chen Xinyu, female, 22 years old, born on June 1979, 6. Senior student at Ewha Womans University. Home address: 28# Itaewon, Yongsan District, Seoul City"

"Is she gone?" Song Yi asked Liu Yongjun directly without reading his resume.

"No, she is still waiting for the interview results in the coffee shop on the first floor." Liu Yongjun felt that Song Yi might want to hire Chen Xinyu, and his attitude was very positive.

Song Yi wanted to call Chen Fuzhen. He wanted to ask Chen Fuzhen whether it was her idea for her sister Chen Xinyu to come to Xinya Network for an internship.Last time Chen Fuzhen said that he wanted to introduce Chen Xinyu to her, but sister Fuzhen, I admit that your sister is very beautiful, but I already have a girlfriend.

"Okay, I understand. Tell HR and Manager Park about this interview and tell them not to leak it. Chen Xinyu is the sister of my business friend. She should have come for the interview by herself. She didn't talk to her. My family said hello.”

"I went downstairs to say hello to her, and also asked her family for their opinions. If she really comes to Xinya Network for an internship in the future, you should also be careful not to let the indifferent male employee of the company harass her. If If such an unpleasant thing happens, both the employee and the supervisor will be fired and will not be tolerated. Do you understand?" Song Yi ordered.

When Liu Yongjun heard what Song Yi said, he understood immediately.Chen Xinyu is obviously a rich man who came to New Asia Network to experience life, but now he does not welcome Chen Xinyu to come to work.He is willing to keep a beautiful vase in the company, but he is not willing to support an ancestor.

No matter how nice the little girl is during the interview, if you accidentally offend her, you might be fired from the company for stepping in with your left foot first.

Song Yi flicked Chen Xinyu's resume with a meaningful smile on his face, "Yongjun, if she really comes to Xinya Network for an internship, then she will definitely be the richest intern in South Korea."

Liu Yongjun started to frown, "The richest intern in Korea?" What a scary name.Liu Yongjun remembered that Chen Xinyu's surname was Chen, and the current richest man in South Korea also happened to be surnamed Chen, and he had more guesses in his mind.

Song Yi took the elevator to the first floor, and he immediately noticed Chen Xinyu reading in the coffee shop.

Chen Xinyu wears a pair of black-rimmed glasses, and her long black hair hangs naturally on her shoulders. Viewed from the side, the arc of Chen Xinyu's upper body is perfect.

Song Yi walked over and pretended to have just seen her, "Hey, isn't this Miss Xinyu? I haven't seen you for a long time. I didn't expect to meet you here. It seems that we are quite destined."

When Chen Xinyu saw Song Yi, she put the book on the table and found that she was reading the mystery novel "The Secret" by Keigo Higashino. In 99, Keigo Higashino won the Japan Mystery Writers Association Award for this novel.

"President Song, I don't believe you didn't see the resume I submitted to your company. If you want to pretend to meet me by chance in the coffee shop, it would be too fake." Chen Xinyu winked mischievously.

Song Yi has always been very thick-skinned and would not mind even if he was exposed, "Miss Xinyu came to Xinya Network for an interview. The yellow Porsche 911 you parked downstairs brought great pressure to our company's employees. You Why don’t you consider driving a low-profile car to the company for an interview?”

Chen Xinyu said "Ah" and said with hindsight, "Should it be like this? But this Porsche is already the cheapest car in my garage."

Song Yi was speechless for a long time when he heard Chen Xinyu's answer.Many people's lifelong dream is to own a Porsche 911, but Chen Xinyu actually said that this car is the cheapest one in her garage.Sure enough, if you don't have luxury goods like sports cars when you are born, then you are basically destined to miss out on a lifetime of hard work.

Song Yi put aside this strange psychological emotion and chatted with Chen Xinyu about Xinya Network's retail business.Although Song Yi did not point out the existence of the shopping website Sohan.com, Chen Xinyu still expressed many unique insights into Xinya Network's retail business.

Only now did he agree with Liu Yongjun's statement that Chen Xinyu was indeed qualified for the job of New Asia Online Retail Business Management Trainee.

Xinya Network's management trainee program is a talent reserve plan to independently cultivate middle and senior management personnel of the enterprise for the long-term development of the enterprise.For example, Xu Jingmin, the daughter of Chairman Xu Guoxun of Pacific Amore, worked as a management trainee at JD.com.

Because the project of the shopping website Sohan.com is the core project of New Asia Network in the next five years, if Chen Xinyu joins the Sohan.com team, she will learn the core business model of Sohan.com.

After Chen Xinyu returns to Samsung and uses Samsung's platform resources to copy an identical Sohan.com, Sohan.com will probably have a very strong competitor.

Song Yi had dealt with Chen Xinyu, and he knew that Chen Xinyu was relatively simple and could not come to Xinya Network to do commercial espionage.However, Chen Xinyu’s father Chen Jianxi and brother Chen Zaiyong are not fuel-efficient lamps.

Through Chen Fuzhen, Song Yi knew that Chen Zaiyong had guessed Xinya's plan to backdoor Xinhan Media to go public.

The main body of Song Yi's backdoor listing is the media + real estate business of the New Asia Department. Song Yi is planning to integrate New Asia Media, New Asia Agency, New Asia Music, New Asia Pictures, New Asia Real Estate and New Asia Construction into New Asia Group. Complete the backdoor listing plan through New Asia Group.

However, Chen Zaiyong does not know which companies Song Yi will integrate to complete the backdoor listing. In Chen Zaiyong's view, Internet companies are more likely to gain the favor of capital institutions.If Song Yi integrates New Asia Network Co., Ltd., New Asia Network and Wemade, a company in which New Asia has a stake, into a large Internet company, the new company will easily obtain a higher valuation.

This is a question of either choice. Song Yi now really wants to recruit Chen Xinyu, and then use Chen Xinyu to send smoke bombs to Chen Zaiyong.

If Chen Zaiyong had always thought that the main business entity of New Asia's backdoor listing was the Internet companies under New Asia, then Chen would definitely focus on the Internet industry to block New Asia's backdoor listing plan.

When the time comes, Song Yi will be able to build the plank road openly and covertly lead the Xinya Group to achieve its listing goal.Thinking of this, Song Yi's attitude toward Chen Xinyu became more enthusiastic. He hoped that the innocent Chen Xinyu could become a qualified double agent and pass on wrong information to Chen Zaiyong to mislead him.
　I made a mistake in the last chapter. The first variety show launched by New Asia Media was Xman, not a love letter, so I signed Yoo Jae Suk first.
