I want to be a chaebol.

Chapter 161 Yui Aragaki and Masami Nagasawa

The situation on the field has changed. In the 19th minute, the Brazilian team had its best offensive opportunity.

Ronaldinho sent a second pass at the front of the penalty area, directly piercing the German team's defense. Ronaldo received the pass and formed a single shot.

Unfortunately, Ronaldo did not choose to attack, but knocked the ball horizontally to his teammate Rivaldo. Rivaldo failed to outflank him in time and missed the chance to hit the goal.

Song Yi watched the game on the court, "Sun Sang, do you think the German team has a chance?"

Son Zhengyi looked at the two teams playing on the court and felt a little confused, "Isn't the score 0-0 now? If the German team scored first, how could it not have a chance?"

Song Yi explained: "Although the German team's tight defense prevented the Brazilian team from forming a long-term offensive, football is an art, and every art sport requires inspiration and creativity. Every flash of inspiration from the Brazilian team has He could break through the German team at any time."

The next game confirmed Song Yi's words. In the 30th minute, Ronaldo received a pass from Ronaldinho and successfully countered offside. Under the interference of Link, his shot did not pose a threat to Kahn of Germany.

"The Internet is an industry that requires great creativity. Yahoo provides users with free Internet and makes money through advertising, which has created its Internet dominance."

"Before the emergence of Google, everyone believed that there would be no changes in the search engine market. The four major listed search engine companies, Yahoo, Excite, Infoseek and Lycos, each occupied their own side. However, Sequoia Capital and KCPB still invested in Google together in 99. 2500 million U.S. dollars. The new IT upstart has defeated the former king Yahoo. Isn’t Yahoo as rich as Google?" Song Yi said it euphemistically.

Song Yi really wanted to buy some equity in Google before it went public, but now Google is no longer short of money. Google's two founders, Larry Page and Sergey Brin, both rejected venture capital investors. investment.

谷歌是在04年8月19日上市的，上市时市值为230亿美元，市盈率为80倍。后来谷歌成长为一个市值1.8万亿美元的全球科技巨头。等谷歌上市以后，新亚资本基金和蓝海资本基金肯定会重仓持有谷歌的股票。

Jin Xiyuan on the side also understood Song Yi's reply. It's okay for Sun Zhengyi to invest in inschool's competitors, but can you use money to build a social networking site that is better than inschool?
Song Yi was using the example of the Brazilian team to tell Sun Zhengyi that in the Internet industry, a flash of inspiration at some point is more important than throwing money, and New Asia Network is not short of money. How much money can you spend on CYworld?At least in the local Korean market, inschool is not afraid of any Internet giant.

Sun Zhengyi was silent for a while, and then he began to mix the Kyoto cocktail, which is the favorite drink of Japanese fans.

The recipe is three parts Japanese sake with two slices of grapefruit, half a part lemon juice, three-quarters agave nectar, a small amount of Basco green chili, and finally mint leaves are the finishing touch.

After he mixed it, Sun Zhengyi poured a glass for both Song Yi and Jin Xiyuan, "Please." Sun Zhengyi motioned to Song Yi to drink first.

Song Yi picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp. This cocktail was slightly spicy, but it also had some sweetness after entering his throat, which instantly cheered up Song Yi who was sleepy in the summer.

Jin Xiyuan didn't drink so quickly. She covered the wine glass with her sleeve, took a sip, and then gently put the glass down.

Sun Zhengyi filled up Song Yi's wine glass and started talking to Song Yi about business, "How many users does inschool have in South Korea now?"

Song Yi turned her attention to Jin Xiyuan. Jin Xiyuan knew it was her time to appear. She straightened her back and said, "As of June 6, the number of Korean users of inschool is 28, covering almost 1492% of Koreans."

Only then did Son Zhengyi notice Jin Xiyuan and nodded slightly, "Sure enough, a strong general has no weak soldiers. I remember that inschool had more than 1000 million users in mid-April. In just two months, it has increased by nearly 500 million. [-] million users? I heard that inschool hasn’t started advertising yet?”

The smile on Song Yi's face faltered. As expected, Son Zhengyi had been paying attention to inschool for a long time. He had not announced the specific number of inschool users. Where did he get the specific user data of inschool?

Jin Xiyuan's demeanor was more dignified and her tone was calmer. "Our president believes that advertising will inevitably affect the user experience. According to our judgment, when the number of inschool users exceeds 2000 million, other social network products will not be enough to compete with inschool in the Korean market." Monopoly position, it will not be too late to start advertising by then.”

Sun Zhengyi now feels that Song Yi, his negotiating opponent, is a bit difficult. The number of inschool users is about to exceed 1500 million. Song Yi insists on not placing ads for the sake of user experience.For Internet companies, advertising is their biggest source of income. Song Yi's move undoubtedly showed to Son that he is not short of money now.

Sun Zhengyi knows that New Asia Network is the largest online game company in the mainland market, and the online game "Legend of Hot Blood" is a continuous blood transfusion for New Asia.

"I heard that due to the fire in an Internet cafe in Yanjing this month, many black Internet cafes in the mainland have closed down, and online games are not allowed to be broadcast on TV. Xinya Network's game revenue dropped sharply in June, and they operate both inschool and school networks. The operating costs of two social networking sites are still very high." Son Zhengyi was worried for Song Yi on the surface.

"Sun Sang is indeed very concerned about the development of our Xinya. You are right. However, it is imperative to standardize the operation of Internet cafes. The users of "Legend of Hot Blood" itself are targeted at adult game users. Underage gamers cannot play this game in the first place. game.”

"After this tragedy happened, we immediately introduced corrective measures. All user IDs in "Legend of Hot Blood" must pass real-name verification. Secondly, we also developed a Pubwin Internet cafe management system for Internet cafes. This management system has been applied to 70 large and medium-sized cities in the mainland.”

"In addition to the Internet cafe management system, every Internet cafe that uses the Pubwin Internet cafe management system is equipped with Hikvision's monitoring system, which monitors the entry and exit of minors at every entrance and exit of the Internet cafe. Ensure that minors cannot enter or exit the Internet cafe. , let alone accessing the Internet through other people’s ID cards. After regulation and rectification, I believe that the mainland’s Internet cafe industry and game industry will still usher in rapid development. According to our estimates, New Asia Network’s revenue in September will be as high as Normally in May." Song Yi said.

Seeing that Song Yi had made sufficient plans, Sun Zhengyi stopped arguing on this topic. He drank his glass of wine, and Song Yi lifted the wine bottle and filled it up for Sun Zhengyi.

"Song Yi, wouldn't you wait until the number of users in the Japanese market of inschool exceeds 2000 million before placing ads?" Sun Zhengyi asked Song Yi with interest.

Song Yi smiled, "That's not true. Unlike the Korean market, I have registered a company in Japan to operate inschool alone. Because this company is responsible for its own profits and losses, it will also accept financing from other investment institutions, so it will be operated commercially. It may be launched earlier than in South Korea, and it may be launched separately in the future.”

Son Zhengyi raised his head and glanced at Song Yi, his eyes were meaningful.Song Yi wants to copy another Yahoo Japan in Japan.

In the listed company Yahoo Japan, SoftBank holds 40% of the shares and is the company's largest shareholder, while Yahoo holds 34.4% of the shares and is the second largest shareholder.

Song Yi’s meaning is obvious. He is open to other investment institutions investing in Japanese companies, so he established New Asia Network (Japan) Co., Ltd. to operate inschool independently.
In fact, Masayoshi Son wanted to invest in Xinya Network Co., Ltd., the parent company of inschool, but Song Yi was obviously very wary of this and refused to let go.

New Asia Network Co., Ltd. will officially launch the shopping website Sohan.com next year. Song Yi is planning to build Sohan.com into the largest e-commerce website in South Korea. How could he be willing to let Masayoshi Son get a share of the pie?

Song Yi has no choice in the Japanese market. If it cannot rely on the power of Yahoo Japan and SoftBank, it will be difficult for inschool to develop in the Japanese market with strict barriers.Song Yi either accepts investment from SoftBank or the six major consortiums: Mitsubishi, Mitsui, Sumitomo, Fuji, Sanwa and Daiichi Quangye. Otherwise, it will be very difficult to promote inschool through Japanese TV stations or newspapers.

Compared to the six major consortiums, Song Yi is more inclined to cooperate with Sun Zhengyi. After all, Sun Zhengyi is only optimistic about the development prospects of inschool and wants to invest in advance. He has no ambition to swallow up New Asia Network (Japan) Co., Ltd.

Song Yi misses the era of mobile Internet very much now. If Xinya's smartphone Galaxy S1 comes out, inschool will be included in the mobile app. By then, Xinya will only need to cooperate with Japanese electrical appliance chain Yamada Denki and the like, and there will be no need to sell out. New Asia Network (Japan) Co., Ltd.'s equity in exchange for access to the Japanese market.

NHN Japan, a subsidiary of Korean Internet company NHN in Japan, launched the instant messaging application LINE in the Japanese market. LINE relies on the Japanese market and has developed more than 4 million users around the world.Japanese users like LINE’s “chat emoticon stickers” very much. This application has more than 250 kinds of stickers.

In addition to the upcoming food-stealing game "Happy Farm" in Japan, Song Yi is also preparing to launch exclusive chat emoticons of Brown Bear and Coni Rabbit for inschool users in Japan. The popularity of LINE in the Japanese market has verified this promotional strategy correctness and necessity.New Asia Network (Japan) Co., Ltd. has applied for patents for two chat emoticons, Brown Bear and Coni Rabbit.

If Song Yi and Kim Hee-won negotiate with NHK TV station about the introduction of "Winter Sonata", then inschool will place advertisements on NHK TV station.

"Winter Sonata", Happy Farm and the chat emoticons of Brown Bear and Coni Rabbit are the three axes Song Yi has prepared for users in the Japanese market.If a three-pronged approach is taken, coupled with the resources invested by Yahoo Japan, Song Yi is confident that he will develop 2000 million Japanese users within a year.

In this way, even if Zuckerberg launches Facebook next year, when Facebook lands in the Japanese market in 04 or 05, Zuckerberg will suddenly find that the number of Japanese users of inschool is almost 5000 million, and the number of Asian users of inschool (excluding those from the mainland) There will be almost more than 1 million users of Xiaonei.com, and Facebook will not be able to shake inschool’s market share.

Brown Bear and Coni Rabbit are also Song Yi's attempts at IP. Japan's otaku culture ensures the sales potential of peripheral products.In addition to the domestic market, the Japanese market has always been the largest sales place for Disney products.

In the second half of the final, the German team had its best offensive opportunity. Neuville hit a long shot 30 meters away from the goal. The ball flew over the wall and went straight to the goal. Marcos flew to save and touched the ball with his fingertips. Changes In the direction of the ball, the ball bounced to the goal post and the Brazilian team escaped.

In the 52nd minute, Brazilian team Gilbert's supplementary shot injured Kahn's finger, which also determined the direction of the final.

In the 67th minute, Rivaldo shot hard with his left foot, and Kahn leaned over to hold the ball with both hands.Due to the impact of a finger injury, Kahn made a rare shooting error. Of course, the alien Ronaldo accepted the gift, stepped in at high speed, and succeeded in the follow-up shot.Brazil led 1-0 when Kahn, who had never conceded a goal in the previous seven games, finally found the back of the net.If Ronaldo is the strongest spear in world football, then Kahn is the strongest shield. However, there were cracks in the shield today and it still could not stop Ronaldo's attack.

This goal is Ronaldo's 7th goal of this World Cup. It also broke the curse of the top scorer only scoring 78 goals after the 6 World Cup. However, Ronaldo's performance is not over yet.

The German coach replaced the mediocre Klose with the intention of counterattack. Klose, who was selected for the World Cup for the first time, was still a bit raw. Since the German team entered the knockout stage, Klose has not scored a goal. It has always been Ballack and Klose. En carried the German chariot forward with difficulty.

In the 79th minute, Kleberson broke through from the right and brought the ball to the front of the penalty area and knocked it to Rivaldo. Faced with Link's defense, Rivaldo cleverly leaked the ball to Ronaldo.Ronaldo stopped the ball and shot in one go. The ball stuck to the turf and penetrated into the goal from Kahn's armpit.Brazil leads 2-0 and seals the victory.

Sun Zhengyi didn't speak after that, and he and Song Yi patiently waited for the game to end.When the Brazilian team was about to go on stage to receive the award, Son invited Song Yi back to Tokyo to continue today's conversation.

Son Zhengyi glanced at Jin Xiyuan and said to Jin Xiyuan, "Miss Jin, why don't you stay in Yokohama for one night? I will ask the driver to take you back to the hotel later. The place where Song Yi and I will go later, Miss Jin It might not be convenient to show up together.”

Jin Xiyuan suddenly understood and cursed Son Zhengyi in her heart.But she must give Song Yi face, so she and Song Yi agreed to meet in Tokyo tomorrow.Tomorrow afternoon, Jin Xiyuan and Song Yi will go to visit the top executives of NHK TV station.

Song Yi and Sun Zhengyi were riding in his Laurel car. Sun Zhengyi sighed, "If Kahn hadn't been injured, the German team would have had a chance to drag the game into overtime."

Song Yi disagreed with Sun Zhengyi's view, "Sun Sang, in fact, luck is also a part of the game. Ballack's absence and Kahn's finger injury all show that luck is not actually on the side of the German team. In Chinese terms , it was destiny for the Brazilian team to win the championship.”

Masayoshi Son thought thoughtfully, "Is it destiny? If Google can replace Yahoo, can inschool replace Google?"

Song Yi knows that Sun Zhengyi has always wanted to find the next Yahoo to invest. Whether it is Alibaba or inschool, it is an alternative for Sun Zhengyi. With a large amount of cash in hand, Sun Zhengyi’s current investment strategy is to cast a wide net and catch more fish.

"The rise of Google will lead to the decline of Yahoo, but the rise of inschool will not lead to the decline of Google. It is difficult for Google and Yahoo to coexist. Google will take away Yahoo's market share, but inschool and Google can coexist in the market. The two It's not an either-or competition," Song Yi replied.

Son Zhengyi smiled and said, "Song Yi, what you said is a bit hypocritical. Internet giants are inherently competitive. Whoever monopolizes more users will have more Internet advertising shares. If you are not optimistic about inschool Prospect, why should I invite you to Japan to watch the game?"

Song Yi knew that what Sun Zhengyi said was right. Google had the support of the US government. How could inschool replace Google? So inschool gave up the North American market from the beginning, but he would not tell Sun Zhengyi because it might affect the The valuation of inschool.

After the 911/[-] incident, the U.S. government stepped up intelligence surveillance around the world. This was the predecessor of Project Prism.American Internet giants such as Google and Facebook have cooperated with the US government's Prism program to collect users' information.

Masayoshi Son bought two duplex villas in Tokyo's Minato District, although they don't look much different from the surrounding residential buildings.However, in the port area where land is at a premium, these two villas are worth a lot of money. One is worth 1 billion yen (approximately 140 million yuan), and the other is 8 billion yen (approximately 60 million yuan). These two duplexes The villa is much more expensive than the one in Song Yicheng's North Cave.

However, Sun Zhengyi has no intention of inviting Song Yi home for dinner. If a Japanese invites you home for dinner, it must be a very close friend. The friendship between Song Yi and Sun Zhengyi has not reached this level yet.

Sun Zhengyi invited Song Yi to go to Oedo Hot Spring for a hot spring bath. Oedo Hot Spring will also provide top-notch Japanese food for distinguished guests like Sun Zhengyi. It is also a good place for entertaining guests.

The appearance of Oedo Hot Spring is in line with the charm of ancient Japan, with glazed tiles, curved beams, Japanese lanterns, and waiters wearing kimonos to provide services. Song Yi once thought he had entered the hot spring house in "Spirited Away".

Dinner was quite sumptuous, including bluefin tuna sashimi, Kobe beef, grilled matsutake mushrooms, shark fin sea cucumber and Boston lobster.

Sun Zhengyi prefers grilled matsutake. He proudly told Song Yi: "The matsutake in this store is the freshest. It takes no more than 24 hours from picking to the chef's cooking. This is because such fresh matsutake has the best taste." "

The chef's method is also relatively simple. He scrapes the matsutake clean, wraps it in tin foil, puts it in an iron pot, adds Japanese smoked salt, and then burns it over high heat.

Song Yi tasted the matsutake mushrooms served on the table. It really tasted good. It gave him a refreshing fragrance and a fresh and tender texture. There was a fungus fragrance on his lips and teeth.

In addition to the matsutake mushrooms, the tuna sashimi is also fresher than the one in the Korean Michelin restaurant, and the sashimi also has a full oil aroma after entering the mouth.

Song Yi sighed with emotion. Although he is now very rich, compared to personal enjoyment, he is still not as good as the established rich people like Son Zhengyi.

He originally thought that Masayoshi Son was going to discuss with him the issue of investing in New Asia Networks (Japan) Co., Ltd. at the dinner table, but Masayoshi Son obviously had no such intention.Son seems to really just want to fulfill his duty as a landlord.

After Song Yi had had enough wine and food, Sun Zhengyi sent Song Yi back to the Oedo Hot Spring room. He patted Song Yi on the shoulder and said, "You are my honored guest today, and I will definitely entertain you well. You are in the room today." Take a dip in the private soup and have a good rest for a day. We will talk about the business tomorrow. Song Yi, remember that fresh matsutake is the most delicious."

Song Yi returned to the room without knowing why. When he entered the room, he suddenly found two girls in kimonos kneeling on the ground to say hello to him, which shocked Song Yi.

After the two girls raised their heads, he felt that the two girls looked familiar.He realized that this was the surprise that Son Zhengyi had prepared for him.

"Are you hot spring staff?" Song Yi asked proactively, and the two girls shook their heads shyly.

Song Yi took a closer look at the appearance of the two girls. Even though they were dressed a bit maturely, they still looked like they were underage.Although Song Yi was romantic, he still had to have some basic bottom lines. He immediately refused the service of these two beautiful girls.

The two girls were in a bit of a dilemma. If they left the room directly, they might be punished by the agency.

Song Yi sighed, "Then you stay one night. Someone will pick you up tomorrow, right? But don't come over and get under my bed at night, otherwise I will call the police and say you molested me."

The two girls burst into laughter, realizing that Song Yi was actually joking.

Song Yi felt that Son Zhengyi was ignorant, so he might as well arrange two oirans from Roppongi. He could also talk about life and ideals with the ladies.Now facing two big-eyed Japanese girls, he didn't know what to talk to them.

"Is uncle a very powerful entrepreneur?" One of the short-haired girls took the initiative to ask Song Yi.She only knew that she had to serve a very distinguished guest tonight, but she did not know the identity of the guest.

After they saw Song Yi, they were no longer so conflicted. After all, Song Yi was very handsome and polite.

Song Yi felt very sad, "Uncle? Do I look so old? I am only 26 this year!"

The long-haired girl covered her mouth and smiled, "Uncle is 11 years older than me. We are no longer the same generation. Aren't we still uncles?"

When Song Yi heard the long-haired girl's answer, he broke out in a cold sweat. Fortunately, he restrained himself, otherwise Sun Zhengyi would have taken advantage of him.

"Well, let's introduce ourselves to each other to save you from asking questions. My name is Song Yi, from Seoul, and I am the founder of an Internet company." Song Yi broke the deadlock first.

After listening to Song Yi's introduction, the long-haired girl looked up at Song Yi in surprise. When she realized that this move was a bit rude, her face turned red.

She bowed to Song Yi and said, "Hello, President Song, I am Masami Nagasawa, from Shizuoka City. I am an actor and model."

When Song Yi heard the name Nagasawa Masami, he realized why he felt familiar. Nagasawa Masami is a beautiful Japanese actress born in the 80s who later starred in "Detective Chinatown 3".

But the surprise for Song Yi today was far more than that. At this time, the short-haired beauty also spoke, "Hello, President Song, I am Yui Aragaki, from Okinawa. I am currently a model and singer."

　Yui Aragaki and Masami Nagasawa both appeared, did you think of it?
