I want to be a chaebol.

Chapter 196 Song Woo-seok’s inauguration ceremony
In addition to Le Xiyi and Xin Minjing, Gu Guangmo and Zhou Zhiyi are also planning a wedding.The two of them have not returned to the mainland after the Spring Festival because there have been deaths from SARS in South China.

After research, Hong Kong Island and Pengcheng Hospital concluded that SARS can be transmitted from person to person. Residents in major mainland cities have worn masks on the streets. Medical experts have also called on everyone to reduce gatherings during the Spring Festival, go out less, wash hands frequently, and ventilate frequently. , wear a mask when going out and pay attention to protection.If you encounter cold or fever symptoms, please seek medical treatment in time.

Although Song Mingzhe and his wife live in Seoul, they have been paying close attention to the fight against SARS in the mainland.Zhou Shulan was a little worried, "Children's resistance is so weak, and there are also cases in Yanjing now, what should they do if they go to school?"

Liao Yu said: "Principal Wen called me and said that this year's school will start later than usual. The school currently encourages us parents to tutor their children's homework at home. According to my estimate, the Municipal Education Commission may suspend classes. Now the medical expert team of the Ministry of Health Now that I have gone to Yangcheng to guide the work, the SARS virus traceability work is about to bear fruit, and SARS should be defeated soon."

Zhou Shulan said: "The old ladies who often dance with me called me and said that isatis root and vinegar can prevent SARS. Now Yanjing is going crazy. They kindly called me and asked me to stock up on more."

"Those who spread such rumors at this time are trying to enrich the country, and their intentions are deplorable. At present, no specific medicine has been developed against the SARS virus. It is nonsense that isatis root and drinking vinegar can prevent SARS. Wait for Yan Beijing has controlled the spread of the disease, and it's too late for us to go back. Aren't you going to attend the wedding of Gu Guangmo and Zhou Zhiyi?" Liao Yu comforted Zhou Shulan and told her not to rush back to Beijing.

"I'm not in a hurry. It's just that I feel panicked living here. Every neighbor has a tall mansion, and the walls feel higher than those of the Forbidden City. Except for Mengxian and his family, there are no neighbors who can stop by and chat. As expected, The richer you are, the less humane you are." Zhou Shulan complained.

Song Mingzhe heard Zhou Shulan's complaint at this moment, "You think this is in my hometown. Everyone knows the neighbors upstairs and downstairs. If a strange face comes to the community, everyone in the corridor will know about it in less than half a day."

"Last year, Xiao Yi took Taixi back to Yeji for the New Year. The entire teacher's family dormitory knew that he had found a Korean wife. Seven aunts and eight aunts all wanted to come and see the fun. If Xiaoyi gets married in Yeji, it will probably be even more... It’s lively.” Song Mingzhe said.

"Xiaoyi and Taixi can at most go back to Yanjing to entertain their friends. How can they go back to Yeji to hold a banquet? Our family is obviously marrying their daughter-in-law, but it's like they are married." Zhou Shulan knew that Jin Taixi was a very nice person and was very kind. I like this second daughter-in-law, but I can't help but complain.

Liao Yu secretly laughed in her heart, "You only lost one son, but Taixi's family has two daughters. Jin Xiyuan followed Song Yi without any name. Taixi's mother saw something, and Taixi's father and Taixi's brother Heng Soo’s heart is bigger and he hasn’t noticed it yet.”

Song Mingzhe and his wife, Song Yi, and Kim Tae Hee will all attend the wedding of Gu Guangmo and Zhou Zhiyi.However, before their wedding, Song Yi will attend the inauguration ceremony of South Korea's new president on February 2 as a representative of Korean entrepreneurs.

On the morning of the 25th, South Korea’s new President Song Woo-seok held an inauguration ceremony at the square in front of the National Assembly in Seoul, officially taking office as the 16th president of South Korea.

At the inauguration ceremony, Zhong Xiaotong's "National Government" was officially launched on the stage, and Song Yuxi announced that "national participation in the government" officially kicked off.

Former South Korean presidents Chung Xiaotong, Chung Wanyou, Song Sangong, Quan Zhanfa and Choi Yanqiu, foreign ambassadors, Korean congressmen, Korean business representatives and 4 ordinary citizens all participated in today's inauguration ceremony.

Cui Yanqiu is a representative figure of South Korea's reform system. He has served as ministers of many departments since the founding of South Korea. In 79, Zheng Puxi was assassinated. Cui Yanqiu took over the task and was elected as the 10th president.Later, Quanzhanfa launched a military coup in 80, and Cui Yanqiu was forced to step down.

Whether it was intentional or not, Song Shanggong, Quan Zhanfa and Cui Yanqiu sat together. Cui Yanqiu and Quan Zhanfa had zero communication during the whole process, and Quan Zhanfa didn't look very good.

Song Yi, as the representative of entrepreneurs, sat behind Zhong Xiaotong. Sitting in the same row with Song Yi were Samsung Chairman Chen Jianxi, LG Chairman Koo Guangsheng, SK Chairman Cui Anyuan, Hyundai Motor Chairman Zhou Mengjiu, and Asan Group Chairman Zheng Eunxuan. , Xu Guoxun, Chairman of Pacific Amore Group, etc.

Ordinary citizens also have many acquaintances of Song Yi, such as Park Min-jung and his wife from Xinyi Pet Shop, Ryu Hye-young and her daughter Seo Joo-hyun, and Shin Min-kyung from SMJ Gallery.

Le Xiyi did not sit with Xin Minjing. As a representative of the prosecution system officials, he sat next to Chief Prosecutor Lee Sang-dae of the Seoul Central District Prosecutor's Office. It was rumored that Le Xiyi was very hopeful to take over Lee Sang-dae's position.

Song Yi did not sit with Kim Tae Hee. As a representative of the entertainment industry, Kim Tae Hee sat with other Xinya artists. Sitting on her right were Song Hye Kyo, Jun Ji Hyun and Son Ye Jin, and on her left were Kim Hee Won and Son Ye Jin's managers. Kim Min-sook, next to Kim Min-sook is another female artist from Xinya, Gao Hyun-jung.

In the same row across the aisle from Gao Xianzhen are her ex-husband Zhou Yongzhen and his current wife Han Jixi.After Zhou Rongzhen married Gao Xianzhen, his mother Chen Mingxi immediately arranged marriage arrangements for him, and finally married the famous Korean violinist Han Zhixi.

Sitting not far from Zhou Rongzhen and his wife were Chen Zaican and his wife from Shinhan Media. Cui Shanji saw Han Zhixi looking at Gao Xianzhen with curious eyes, and she couldn't help but whisper with her husband Chen Zaican.

"Who do you think arranged this position today? Are the entertainment industry and the chaebols sitting so close to each other so that they can leave contact information with each other after the ceremony? If it is really for the chaebols to enter the beauty pageant, don't let them bring it with them My wife attended this public event. Rong Jin’s predecessor and current one almost sat next to each other. I feel bad for Hyun Jung just thinking about it.” Choi Sun Hee has a good relationship with Go Hyun Jung, and I feel sorry for her.

Chen Zaican also noticed it, and he whispered to Cui Shanji, "What's wrong with Gao Xianzhen? Rongzhen should be the one who suffers the most. When the scandal between Gao Xianzhen and Song Yi spread, Gao Xianzhen and Rongzhen hadn't officially divorced yet. Rongzhen had not yet officially divorced. If Zhen appears on this occasion with such a beautiful new wife, he won't be afraid that Han Zhixi will be taken notice of by Song Yi."

When Cui Shanji heard what Chen Zaican said, she was secretly happy. She really didn't like the arrogant Chen Mingxi mother and son, and she wished to see them shriveled.

"They are your cousins ​​after all. Isn't it inappropriate for you to say that to others?" Cui Shanji said.

"Hmph, I treat him as my cousin, but does he treat me as my cousin? How can there be any family ties in a wealthy family like ours? Fu Zhen has done so well in Everland, why is he so suddenly beaten by his uncle? Just drive them away?" Chen Zaican has long seen the true faces of other members of the Samsung family.

Cui Shanji looked forward and found that Song Yi happened to be sitting next to Chen Jianxi and Cui Anyuan. Song Yi actually talked happily with Chen Jianxi and Cui Anyuan.She admired Song Yi's shamelessness in her heart. He slept with Chen Jianxi's eldest daughter and Cui Anyuan's wife. How could he be so calm and composed?
It was the first time that Song Yi sat with Chen Jianxi. Chen Jianxi said to Song Yi: "President Song, Zai Rong and Fuzhen are all of the same age. Isn't it a big deal if I just call you by your first name?"

After all, Chen Jianxi is Song Yi's cheap father-in-law, and Koreans pay attention to etiquette. "President Chen, I am a junior in front of you after all. Of course it is okay for you to call me by my name."

"Last year Xinyu wanted to find an internship in a company, but I actually didn't want to agree to her going to Xinya. Who knew she had actually made some achievements in Xinya. This year I wanted to arrange for her to study abroad in New York, but she refused to agree. I heard Only two employees of Xinya Network resigned in [-], and the company's manpower turnover rate was almost zero. I am a little curious, how did you do it?" Chen Jianxi and Song Yi chatted.

The two chatted in the audience without paying any attention to Song Woo-seok who was speaking on the stage. For Chen Jianxi, no matter who becomes the president, he must rely on Samsung.

Chen Jianxi’s father Chen Byung-cheol established the National Federation of Korean Economic Workers in 1961, referred to as the National Economic Federation.

Since the establishment of the All Economic Federation, there have been only three presidents, namely Samsung founder Chen Bingzhe and Hyundai founder Zhou Zhengyong. In the mid-90s, Chen Jianxi took over as president of the All Economic Federation from Zhou Zhengyong.

Large-scale consortiums in South Korea are basically members of the All Economic Federation, including Samsung Electronics, Samsung SDI, Samsung Life, Samsung Securities, SK Corporation, SK Telecom, SK Networks, Hyundai Motor, Hyundai Mobis, LG Corporation, LG Electronics, etc. wait.

What is more interesting is that Lotte, one of the five major consortiums, has not joined the All Economic Federation. The relationship between Jin Gehao and his son and Chen Bingzhe and Zhou Zhengyong is average, and they can only maintain superficial harmony.Xinghao was also unwilling to join the All Economic Federation to see the faces of Chen Bingzhe and Zhou Zhengyong.

Chen Byung-cheol and Zhou Zhengyong believe that Samsung and Hyundai are South Korea's local conglomerates, and they also look down on the Lotte family, which made its fortune by currying favor with the Japanese.However, the Lotte family has used money to pave the way over the years and has supported a number of pro-Japanese politicians in South Korea to cheer for Lotte Group. Chen Jianxi is not willing to go against Lotte.

After the Li Eun-joo case came to light, both Singhao and his son were involved in the case. In the end, instead of reducing the major matter to a minor one, the case was settled with a fine and a suspended sentence.

Every time a new president of South Korea takes office, he will pick a consortium to kill chickens and monkeys and establish the presidential authority.Since [-], the five major financial groups have extended their tentacles into the government, influencing public opinion, manipulating elections, and monopolizing the market.

Zheng Puxi and Quan Zhanfa were powerful presidents who kept major financial groups in check while they were in office. Song Shanggong took off his military uniform and participated in the presidential election.No matter how powerful the chaebols are, they have no power to fight back when faced with the military government.

After the backdoor listing of New Asia Media Real Estate Group, New Asia Media Real Estate and Asan Group joined the All Economic Federation.If you include the Ashan family and the New Asia family, the Modern family and the Samsung family can compete with each other.

Faced with Chen Jianxi's question, Song Yi thought about it, "Xinya Network itself is a high-growth enterprise. In order to attract more Internet talents, of course we tend to provide generous benefits to new employees." "Secondly, "The Internet industry is different from traditional manufacturing. We don't need to extend working hours and shifts to meet deadlines, so we hope to create a more relaxed working atmosphere for them so that they can contribute more inspiration," Song Yi explained.

Chen Jianxi was noncommittal about Song Yi's approach. Among the five major consortiums, Samsung employees have the highest average salary, and their attitude towards the union is also the toughest. They have repeatedly rejected the Samsung union's request for a salary increase.

"People are greedy, and employees are no exception. If the company makes a profit of 100 yuan, even if you give 90 yuan to all employees, they will still not be satisfied. Why do you think you can only take 10 yuan? As a capitalist, don't talk to ordinary people. Empathy, their thinking is highly incomprehensible to the risks of running your business.”

"Now that New Asia Network is developing well, you can do this. If there is another Nasdaq bubble, and Internet companies experience another cold winter, when you have to decide to lay off employees or cut salaries to save the company. Now the people who support you the most This group of people will want to trample you to the ground in the future so that you can't stand up." Chen Jianxi rarely mentioned Song Yi.

Song Yi was a little surprised. Although the relationship between New Asia and Samsung had eased somewhat, such as Samsung Everland investing in New Asia Media Real Estate, it was because of Song Yi's sake for Chen Fuzhen's sake.The current relationship between Song Yi and Chen Zai-yong is still on the same level. How could Chen Jianxi kindly remind Song Yi of the future operating risks of New Asia Network?
"Thank you, President Chen. I've learned a lesson." Song Yi bowed his head and thanked him.

Chen Jianxi was very satisfied with Song Yi's attitude. He looked at Song Yuxi who was speaking on the stage and had no intention of continuing to chat.

Song Woo-seok delivered his inaugural speech. He personally proposed four major policy goals:

1. Democracy with the people;
2. A new society of co-existence and balanced development;
3. An era of peace and prosperity in Northeast Asia;

4. A new government with national participation.

In order to achieve these four goals, Song Woo-seok proposed four principles: maintaining trust, fairness and transparency, dialogue and compromise, decentralization and self-discipline.

In addition to these four principles, Song Woo-seok also stated in his speech that he should replace President Zhong Xiaotong's "sunshine policy" foreign policy toward North Korea with a "peace and prosperity policy."In order to implement the "peace and prosperity policy", North Korea and South Korea need dialogue solutions, mutual trust and mutual assistance, international cooperation centered on North Korea and South Korea, national participation and cross-party cooperation, etc.

Song Yi knew why Song Yuxi wanted to change his name because some South Korean politicians and North Korea opposed the use of the name "Sunshine".

The "Sunshine Policy" is named after the story of "The North Wind and the Sun" in Aesop's fable. The "warm sunshine" of South Korea, located in the south of the Korean Peninsula, can allow Pingjing to take off its cold coat.

The Sunshine Policy is regarded by North Korean officials as a charity and an attempt to make North Korea lose face.The opposition parties also ridiculed Zhong Xiaotong as to why he did not first warm up to the poor people of South Korea, and instead provided a large amount of economic assistance to North Korea for the sake of political reputation, all at a loss.

Song Yi actually felt that the name Zhong Xiaotong was not chosen well. In the eyes of the DPRK, there was only one sun on the peninsula, and they were the orthodox ones.Only the north sends sunshine to the south. How can the south send sunshine to the north?

Quan Zhanfa sat with Song Shanggong, and he always felt like a light on his back. He knew that he had offended too many people when he was in power, so many ordinary people in South Korea hated him.

In his mind, he scolded Song Yuxi for being like this kind of gimmick, talking about the participation of all the people in the government.As the president of South Korea, you should be arbitrary. If these ordinary people constantly question the government's policies, and you waste your time convincing people with opposing opinions, will you still be doing your job?

Quan Zhanfa felt that the inauguration ceremony of the South Korean president itself was a very solemn occasion. There were so many members of Congress and foreign envoys present, and there was no need to invite these ordinary people to attend the inauguration ceremony.If the new president maintains this people-friendly approach, Song Woo-seok will not be able to accomplish much during his term, Quanzhanfa asserts.

Park Minzhen, who was sitting in the seat of the representatives of the Love Song Association, had no intention of listening to Song Yuxi's speech. She kept her eyes fixed on Quan Zhanfa, who was sitting in the first row.If looks could kill, then Quan Zhan Ming would have died a hundred times.

She was so simple that she didn't understand why Quan Zhanfa was pardoned by Zhong Wanyou after he was sentenced to life imprisonment.The court demanded a fine of 2205 billion won from him to compensate the victims of the Burim incident. However, he complained to the government that he had no money, acted rogue, and damaged the reputation of the victims of the Gwangju incident.

For Park Minzhen, she has always hoped to take revenge on Quan Zhanfa and let him accept the due sanctions of the law.In her words, all of us have lost our children, and the culprit is still living in a luxurious house and enjoying a luxurious life of debauchery.

Quan Zhanfa's children and grandchildren all entered politics or business through his Yu Yin, and they all successfully entered South Korea's upper class society.But compared to those Park Minzhen who lost their children, how unfair is this?

No matter what the people in the ceremony had their own thoughts on, after Song Woo-seok's speech, the square in front of the Assembly Hall burst into endless applause.Song Woo-seok, who had just taken office as president, first met with a foreign leader, the Prime Minister of Japan, followed closely by the Secretary of State of the United States.South Korea, Japan and the United States want to discuss the North Korean nuclear issue, but there are surging undercurrents beneath the peaceful inauguration ceremony
Song Yi said goodbye to the people around him and prepared to leave the square in front of the parliament hall.Zheng Enxuan walked through the crowd and found Song Yi, "Song Yi, you will take my car back to the company later. I want to talk to you about something serious."

Seeing Zheng Enxuan find Song Yi, Jin Taixi knew that he was busy with something, pointed to Jin Xiyuan, and motioned to go home with her sister first.

Song Yi hadn't been to 63 Building for a long time. When Song Yi came to Zheng Enxuan's office, she found that the layout of her office had also been adjusted, and part of Song Yi's office area had been allocated.Zheng Eunxuan's second daughter Zhou Zhuyi serves as Zheng Eunxuan's secretary.

"Zhuyi, make Xiaoyi a cup of tea. There is a good Maofeng in the bookcase. Make it a few times. He is a bit picky." Zheng Enxuan ordered his daughter.

"I'll go right away." Zhou Zhuyi took out the tea leaves from the closet, then left the office and closed the door.

"Next month, the Zhou Zhengyong Stadium in Pingjing will be officially put into operation. The North Korean side invited us to attend the opening ceremony they held. Meng Xian will also go there. Do you want to go there together? The North Korean side said, Kim Dong-shen of the Asia-Pacific Peace Council The chairman wants to meet with you, maybe it’s related to the cooperation with Mount Kumgang International Tourism Zone.”

"It seems that North Korea may want to take back the operating rights of Mount Kumgang International Tourism Zone. After all, the number of foreign tourists visiting Mount Kumgang in the past two years has been much fewer than North Korea expected. Although Mount Kumgang is rich in tourism resources, the development of scenic spots and The supporting facilities are not in place. Except for the staff of the scenic spot, they have no contact with ordinary North Korean people. After all, in the eyes of foreign tourists, North Korea is a mysterious country." Song Yi made a judgment.

"If North Korea is prepared to take back the operating rights of Mount Kumgang International Tourism Zone in advance, the loss to Asan Group will be too great. Kim Dongshen definitely hopes to retain the two projects of Kaesong Industrial Park and Mount Kumgang International Tourism Zone. If these two The projects have all been closed, so there’s no telling whether he still needs to retain the Asia-Pacific Peace Council.”

"Although you want to keep a low profile as much as possible, the North Korean side already has your personal details, including your family relationships. From the perspective of family background, the North Korean side believes that you and Zhou Zhengyong are the same type of people. They are naturally close to North Korea. They must also be I hope you can invest in North Korea and help North Korea develop modern industry, especially the electronic information industry." Zheng Enxuan said.

"I am not a fool. How could I risk being sanctioned by the United States to help North Korea develop its electronic information industry? My uncle and uncle Mengxian went to North Korea to discuss economic cooperation. In the end, they did not only develop manufacturing and tourism. Why does North Korea think that I will help them develop the electronic information industry. Is it because I am young and look easier to deceive?" Song Yi said.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Just know what you are saying and don't say it out loud. New Asia's industry is based in South Korea and the Mainland. Tens of thousands of people have to be fed by you. We must be cautious in any decision we make. "

"Well, if you have nothing to do, you should go first to attend the opening ceremony of Zhou Zhengyong Gymnasium and meet with Kim Dong-shen first. In any case, we should keep the operating rights of the Mount Kumgang International Tourism Zone project first. If the North Korean side If they take back the operating rights, they will most likely not compensate the Ashan Group for its economic losses." Zheng Enxuan looked worried.

"Okay, I understand. I will go there with Uncle Mengxian when the time comes. You and Zhiyi don't have to go there. According to my estimation, the economic cooperation between North and South Korea will still have several years of back and forth. Before the matter is finalized, Asan and Xinya don't need to spend real money on this. Whether it is to lead the economic cooperation between North Korea and South Korea, our two families must work together and take the initiative in the project." Song Yi said.

On March 3, a large visiting group consisting of more than 6 Korean people from all walks of life departed from Seoul Gimpo Airport and flew to Pyongjing.Members of the delegation will attend the opening ceremony of the Zhou Zhengyong Gymnasium jointly built by Asan Group and North Korea in Pingjing.

The entire delegation was led by Minister Kim of the Ministry of Unification of South Korea, and Zhou Mengxian attended the opening ceremony as Zhou Zhengyong's family members.In fact, Zhou Mengxian's probation has not ended yet. In order to allow him to catch up with the opening ceremony, Song Yuxi granted Zhou Mengxian pardon and shortened his suspended sentence.

Song Yi and Minister Jin were chatting and laughing on the plane, but Zhou Mengxian felt that he could no longer get in the conversation and felt that Song Yi had become a bit strange, so Zhou Mengxian was particularly silent during the entire flight.
