I want to be a chaebol

Chapter 78: Luring the Wolf into the House (5000 words)
"You have to try it to know whether your kung fu is good or not. I didn't expect that senior sister also has a hobby of listening to the roots of the wall." Song Yi teased.

Song Suying was angry, "I'm not deaf. In order not to affect the discussion between you two, I removed all the employees on the fifth floor. Who would have thought that you two would do this to me. With your small body, how many can you hit?" ?”

Song Yi remembered Ip Man's lines and joked with Song Suying, "I can hit ten of those who are helpless like the senior sister."

Song Suying glared at Song Yi and pinched Song Yi's thigh, "You are so brave. You even dare to tease me. Believe it or not, I will tell my wife."

Song Yi quickly apologized. He did not dare to offend Song Suying now. After all, Song Suying had a strong voice among the top wives in Seoul.

Song Suying has good personal relationships with female family members in the five major financial groups. Her friends in the circle include Chen Fuzhen of the Samsung family, Zheng Eunxuan of the Hyundai family, Seo Mikyung of the Lotte family, etc.

Seo Mi-kyung is the concubine of the founder of Lotte and a well-known actress in South Korea in the 80s. She has a daughter, Shin Yu-mi.When she was young, Xu Meijing looked innocent and dressed fashionably, a bit like a combination of Brigitte Lin and Michelle Reis.

She became the spokesperson of Lotte Candy when she was a teenager. She quit the entertainment industry at the age of 22 and went to Japan to study.Song Suying was similar in age to her, two years younger than her, and did not discriminate against Xu Meijing because of her status as a concubine.Seo Mi-kyung owns a 73-square-meter land in Gyeongsangbuk-do, worth hundreds of billions of won, and holds a lot of equity in Rakuten. She can be said to be an invisible rich woman.

Xu Meijing's daughter Shen Youmei is eighteen this year, and Xu Meijing asked Song Suying to introduce her daughter to a partner.Although Shin Yoo-mi is the illegitimate daughter of the Lotte family, Seo Mi-kyung is personally wealthy, so there is no shortage of suitors around Shin Yoo-mi.

Song Suying mentioned it to Song Yi once, but Song Yi decisively refused. He had a mediocre impression of the Lotte family. How could he agree to marry with the Lotte family?
However, Song Yi is interested in the land under Xu Meijing's personal name. Xu Meijing's land is located in Seongju County, North Gyeongsang Province.Song Yi remembered that this land was later developed into the Xingzhou Golf Course, and the THAAD system was later deployed.After THAAD entered South Korea, Lotte Group was boycotted by the Chinese people and lost its market in China.

If Song Yi buys this land in advance, and if the US military in South Korea still wants to deploy the THAAD system, Song Yi will be a stumbling block.The land in South Korea is privately owned. If Song Yi disagrees, no one can deploy THAAD on this land.

Song Yi said to Song Suying: "I want to buy a piece of land to build a golf course. I am interested in the land owned by Xu Meijing. If there is an opportunity, please help me introduce Xu Meijing."

Song Suying wondered, "Seo Mi-kyung's land is almost in Daegu. The place is so remote. If a golf course is built, will anyone patronize it? Are you interested in Seo Mi-kyung's land or Seo Mi-kyung herself?"

Song Yi smiled bitterly, "Golf itself is an aristocratic sport. Only the rich and powerful can afford it. It's not a bad thing to be remote. If I built it next to Seoul, government officials wouldn't be able to go there and play golf from time to time."

Song Suying lowered her guard and said, "That's fine. If it's a normal business, I'll introduce it to you. Don't let me become a pimp. I see that you are interested in other people's wives."

Before Song Yi could defend himself, his cell phone rang. He answered the phone with a serious look on his face, "Okay, I understand. I'll go to the company right now."

Song Suying asked with concern, "What's wrong? Something happened in the company? Do you want me to drive you there?"

Song Yi thanked him, "No, please put me on the side of the road and I'll call a taxi myself. Your car is more eye-catching, so there's no need to involve you."

Song Suying said to Song Yi: "Buy another Hyundai or Samsung, the more common the better, as a backup car. After you buy it, send me the license plate and I will enter it into the club's system. Then you can drive directly in." In the underground parking lot of the club, you can go directly to the fifth floor when the time comes, so you don’t have to worry about being caught by other people when you go on a date with Fuzhen.”

Song Suying's consideration was quite thorough. If Song Suying drove and frequently took Song Yi in and out of the club, others would still doubt the relationship between Song Suying and Song Yi.If Song Yi drove in and out of the club by himself, using a dedicated passage and not meeting other guests in the club, it would naturally not arouse suspicion.

Song Yi nodded, "Okay, I'll contact you when I'm done. Thank you, Sister Suying."

When Song Yi got off the car, Song Suying guessed what happened to Song Yi.Kim Tae Hee's new commercial for San Duo Shui was a great success, New Asia Entertainment signed Song Hye Kyo, and Song Yi's career is going smoothly. So it must be that Asan Group is in trouble?
Song Suying originally wanted to call Zheng Enxuan to inquire about the situation and see if she could help, but after thinking about it, she decided not to.Although Song Suying is the wife of the chairman of SK Group, she has nothing to say about the specific business of SK Group.

Song Suying thought of Song Yi's words, "You have to try to know whether kung fu is good or not." She couldn't help laughing and scolding: "Song Yi is really a coward, even my mother dares to tease him, but she doesn't know that he is in front of Zheng Enxuan. Dishonest?"

Song Suying turned on the car radio and heard from the radio: "Former Hyundai Group Chairman Zhou Mengxian is suspected of providing huge amounts of secret funds to North Korea and is under investigation by the Seoul prosecutors." Song Suying frowned. It seemed that Song Yi was in a lot of trouble this time!

Song Yi rushed to the 63 Building. Zheng Enxuan, Li Yizhi, Li Bingkui and Zhou Zhiyi were all waiting for him.

Song Yi first asked Li Bingkui, "Uncle Bingkui, where is Uncle Mengxian now?"

Li Bingkui obviously knew about the agreement between Zhou Mengxian and Song Yi. "He is currently under investigation by the Seoul District Prosecutor's Office and has not been released yet."

Song Yi asked Zheng Enxuan: "Which media was the first to report that Uncle Meng Xian provided secret funds to North Korea?"

Zheng Enxuan glanced at Song Yi, "SBS reported it first, and KBS and MBC followed up later. I guess the three major newspapers will follow up tomorrow."

Song Yi breathed a sigh of relief. Since SBS was the first to report it, it meant that it was Zhou Mengxian himself who revealed it to the media. It was not other forces that exposed it in advance, so the matter was under control.

Zhou Zhiyi obviously didn't understand the agreement reached between Song Yi, Zhou Mengxian, and Zheng Enxuan. She was still worried about her father's fate, "Mom, dad has been arrested in the prosecutor's office. Should we go over and visit him?"

Anyone who has watched Korean dramas knows that prosecutors in South Korea are extremely powerful. This is because prosecutors have had unrestricted power since the founding of South Korea.

Prosecutors in South Korea have investigative powers. As long as they feel that the case is suspicious, whether it is a criminal case, a political case, or an economic case, the prosecutor can personally investigate it without the cooperation of the police department.If he feels that he is short of manpower, he can also deploy police forces to cooperate with him.

In fact, the prosecutor system is related to MacArthur, the first commander of the US military in Korea. MacArthur established the Tokyo District Prosecutors' Special Investigation Department in Japan and the prosecutorial department in South Korea.

The prosecutors in South Korea are actually the spy agents of the United States. As long as the president of South Korea is not in line with the wishes of the Americans, the prosecutors will investigate the president until the president of South Korea is sent to prison.

Later, after Park Dong-ho was elected president, he took back the prosecutor's investigative power before leaving office. For this reason, he clashed with the then Prosecutor General Le Xiyi.After Le Xiyi was elected president, he conducted many investigations into Park Donghao, but he still found no clue about Park Donghao.

The current situation is that Zheng Enxuan, Li Bingkui, and Song Yi all know that Zhou Mengxian reported him. Li Yizhi should be able to guess something. Only Zhou Zhiyi, who does not know the inside story, looks anxious.

Song Yi comforted Zhou Zhiyi, "Don't worry, Uncle Mengxian was invited by the Seoul District Prosecutor's Office to investigate, right?"

Zhou Zhiyi nodded, "Yes. Dad was resting in the villa at the time, and the prosecutor's office showed his ID when they came to visit."

Song Yi said: "My friend's father is the chief prosecutor of the Seoul District Prosecutor's Office. I will ask her for information first to see if the problem is serious."

When Zhou Zhengyong ran for president of South Korea in 92, he was exposed by his political opponents for misappropriating funds from Hyundai Group for campaigning. In the end, Zhou Mongxian took the responsibility alone. He was sentenced to one year in prison and was finally released from prison six months early. Zhou Mongxian's family already had enough endurance.

Li Bingkui asked with concern: "Is your friend reliable? If the relationship is average, don't inquire. If someone finds out, he will be criticized for interfering in the judiciary."

Song Yi said: "She is Taixi's best friend. She currently works in the SBS News Department. Her parents and I are relatively familiar with each other." Li Yizhi heard Song Yi say this and glanced at Song Yi. Was Zhou Mengxian providing secret funds to the DPRK? SBS first exposed Zhou Mengxian and now he happens to be under investigation by the Seoul District Prosecutor's Office. Isn't this a coincidence?

Lee Hyun-jin’s father, Lee Sang-dae, is the prosecutor general of the Seoul District Prosecutor’s Office. He is a nonpartisan person with vague political leanings, but he has strong personal abilities. He is also a top student who graduated from Seoul National University Law School.

Song Yi asked Zheng Enxuan, "Have there been calls from the Blue House and the North Korean side?"

Zhou Zhiyi was confused, "Why did the Blue House call? Does his father's misappropriation of Hyundai Group's funds have anything to do with the Blue House?"

Li Yizhi sighed and explained to Zhou Zhiyi: "Zhiyi, Chairman Mengxian provided secret funds to the North Korean side. The old chairman and President Zhong are both insiders."

"Chairman Mong Heon provided US$5 million in secret funds to North Korea, and North Korea agreed to host an inter-Korean Peninsula summit. The government provided a low-interest loan of US$5 million to Hyundai Group. If this matter had not been exposed, Cheong Wa Dae would have asked Asan The group provided a low-interest loan of US$20 billion to maintain economic cooperation between North and South Korea. Now that the incident is exposed, the subsequent loan of US$20 billion will also go to waste." Li Yizhi explained.

Li Yizhi was previously the president of Hyundai Securities and Zhou Mengxian's absolute confidant. After leaving Hyundai Securities, Li Yizhi also served as the president of Hyundai Asan.

Song Yi heard what Li Yizhi said and compared the information he had learned before, he knew that Li Yizhi was right.

The reason why Zhou Mengxian later chose to commit suicide by jumping off a building in 03 was for two reasons. First, he was under great pressure due to frequent prosecutorial investigations. Second, he was unable to maintain the normal operation of Hyundai Asan and felt that he had failed to meet the expectations of his father Zhou Zhengyong.The collapse of the $20 billion low-interest loan was the last straw that broke Zhou Mengxian's mind.

Song Yi knew what he was saying, "There was no call from the North Korean side. They must have just received the news. After all, North Korea and South Korea have not established diplomatic relations, and they have no way to protest to Qingwa Dae through diplomatic channels. They should be more worried about the Mount Kumgang tourist area and the opening of the Can these two projects of the City Industrial Park be maintained?"

“As for the Blue House’s lack of calls, our President Chung is probably as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. He doesn’t know what to do and doesn’t know who to contact. Uncle Byung Kyu, please contact the Chief Secretary of the Blue House. I want to see him. Once we meet him, he will decide the location." Song Yi ordered.

Li Bingkui bowed, "Okay, Manager Song."

Zheng Enxuan asked Song Yi, "Are you going to the Seoul District Prosecutor's Office to visit Mengxian?" Zheng Enxuan and Zhou Mengxian have been married for many years, and they are still a little worried about his safety.

Li Yizhi asked Zheng Enxuan, "President, should our group make an announcement? Stabilize the company's stock price?"

Zheng Enxuan looked at Song Yi. The initiative rested with Song Yi whether to implement the cutting plan.Zhou Mengxian does not hold any position in the Asan Group and does not hold stocks. Logically speaking, if something happens to Zhou Mengxian, it has nothing to do with the Asan Group.

Song Yi thought about it, "If the prosecutor really asks for something, Uncle Yi Zhi should also be invited by the prosecutor to investigate. Since the prosecutor has no substantive evidence, we are eager to clear up the relationship with Uncle Meng Xian." , people may complain about being cold-blooded, so let’s wait and see for two days.”

Zheng Enxuan also agreed with Song Yi's point of view. Now that Song Yi has returned to Ashan, she has a backbone.She thought for a while and said, "In this case, Xiao Yi will stay and we will discuss it first. You will go back to work first. If there is any latest situation, I will inform you."

Li Yizhi glanced at Song Yi, a little dissatisfied. He was Zhou Mengxian's number one confidant and the executive director of the Ashan Group.As a result, when Zheng Enxuan and Li Bingkui discussed the matter, the first thing they considered was Song Yi's opinion. A woman is in charge of the house, that is Si Chen. What great things can a woman do with her kindness?
Song Yi stayed and looked at Zheng Enxuan's president's office. It was also his first time to come to Zheng Enxuan's office.

Asan Group has rented the 63th to 9th floors of the 11 Building as its headquarters office building. Zheng Enxuan’s president’s office is located on the 11th floor, next to Song Yi’s executive director’s office. Song Yi’s office used to be Li Bingkui’s office. Li Bingkui still serves as the office of Asan Group became the head secretary.

Zheng Enxuan made Song Yi a cup of tea, and the two of them sat in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of the office and chatted. "Why didn't you agree with Li Yizhi's clarification announcement just now?"

Song Yi took the tea cup and said, "Once the news that Uncle Mengxian provided secret funds to North Korea is exposed, the stock prices of Asan Group and Hyundai Group will be affected."

"In fact, we can take advantage of the low price of Ashan Group's stock price to absorb some stocks first." Song Yi suggested.

"Will this be suspected of stock manipulation?" Zheng Enxuan asked worriedly.

"If we absorb the stocks and wait for the group to issue a clarification announcement and the stock price rises, then we sell the stocks, of course we cannot escape the suspicion of manipulating the stock price, but what if we don't sell the stocks?" Song Yi asked rhetorically.

"If we don't sell the stocks, we can use the excuse that the stock buyback is to stabilize the Asan Group's stock price. This is of course no problem, but our group's accounts no longer have much funds." Zheng Enxuan said.

"Of course I know what you said, but we have no money and the government has money. Didn't Zhong Xiaotong say that he would provide Hyundai Asan with a loan of US$20 billion? If he doesn't want Uncle Meng Xian to talk nonsense in the prosecutor's office, he should find a way Just provide us with follow-up funds," Song Yi said.

Zheng Enxuan looked at Song Yi. She knew that Song Yi was bold, but she didn't expect Song Yi to be so bold and dare to take the idea of ​​a low-interest loan of US$20 billion. Isn't this blackmailing the current president?
"But the president is now eager to cut ties with the Asan Group. How could he agree to grant low-interest loans to the Asan Group?" Zheng Enxuan was a little moved.Zhou Mengxian transferred all the shares of Ashan Group to her and her children's names, and the total equity of this part was only about 8 points.

Asan Group's current market value is 1 trillion won, approximately US$8 million.As long as they have 2 million US dollars, Zheng Enxuan and Song Yi can join forces to obtain absolute control of the Asan Group.

"Of course it is impossible for Zhong Xiaotong to issue loans to Asan Group, but Zhong Xiaotong may issue loans to Xinya Entertainment in the name of producing movies or TV series. Film and television scripts are the best tool. I will give it a 40 billion won movie. Prepare a budget of tens of billions of won." Song Yi said his plan.

When Zheng Enxuan heard about it, Zhou Mengxian took the risk. As a result, New Asia Entertainment got a low-interest loan, and then used the funds to buy the equity of Ashan Group. Will Ashan Group be named Zhou or Song?Am I not inviting the wolf into the house?
Song Yi said to Zheng Enxuan: "Aunt, don't worry, as long as New Asia Entertainment gets this low-interest loan, our company will lend you a sum of funds to help you buy the shares of Ashan Group."

"After Ashan Group's stock price rebounds, you can sell some of your shares and then repay the loan from Xinya Entertainment." Song Yi said.

Zheng Enxuan was very cautious, "You are basing all this on the premise that Ashan Group's stock price can continue to rise. If Ashan Group's stock price falls, how can I repay Xinya Entertainment's loan? Let me think about it, you are such a shrewd person. , they will definitely let me use Ashan Group’s stocks as collateral. If I don’t repay the loan, you can still get the Ashan Group stocks I hold, right?”

Song Yi exclaimed, "Auntie, you are wronging me if you say this. Ashan Group itself is a family business. Why do I want the controlling stake of Ashan Group? Even if I become the major shareholder of Ashan Group, do you think Li Yizhi and others will listen to me?" "

"I just think this is a good opportunity to get a low-interest loan, which can help you truly control Asan Group without being constrained by other major shareholders. In this way, I personally promise that I will personally absorb the shares of Asan Group No more than half of yours, for example, if you buy 10% of Ashan Group's shares, I will buy up to 5%, so you can always trust me, right?" Song Yi said.

Zheng Enxuan thought about it and found that Song Yi currently holds 2% of Ashan Group's shares, and Zheng Enxuan holds 8% in total.

A total of US$2 million can buy almost 24% of Ashan Group's shares.If Song Yi's plan is followed, he will only hold at most 10% of Ashan Group's shares by then, which will still not threaten Zheng Enxuan's status as the major shareholder.

Zheng Enxuan thought about it, and the temptation of her being able to fully control the Ashan Group prevailed. She did not forget to remind Song Yi, "Xiao Yi, I agree to your cooperation plan because I believe in your character. If the loan is granted, you will violate our As agreed between us, then I will ask other members of the family for help, and you have to consider whether you can bear the revenge of the entire family."

Zheng Enxuan becomes the chairman of Asan Group, and the Hyundai family is worried that the Hyundai family's property will flow into the hands of people with foreign surnames.If Song Yi becomes the major shareholder of Ashan Group, Song Yi will definitely be attacked by the modern family.

Song Yi and Zheng Enxuan sat face to face. He stretched out his hands and held Zheng Enxuan's hand tightly. "Aunt, I promised Uncle Meng Xian a long time ago that if he goes in, I will take good care of you and Zhiyi for him. I How could he take advantage of his absence to seize your property?"

　See you tomorrow. Thank you all for your votes.
