I want to be a chaebol

"If Love Is God's Will" was released in the mainland for a month, and its box office performance exceeded 10 million yuan. Although it is not as popular as "My Naughty Girlfriend", the sweet-looking Son Ye-jin quickly became popular in the mainland. The exterior wall advertisement of Liubaiben Commercial Street has also become a huge poster of Son Ye-jin endorsing the Innisfree cosmetics brand.

In early July, Song Woo-seok led a delegation of Korean entrepreneurs to visit China. Samsung Chairman Chen Jianxi, SK Chairman Cui Anyuan, Hyundai Motor Chairman Zhou Mengjiu, LG Group Chairman Koo Bonsheng, and New Asia Media Real Estate Group Chairman Song Yi all participated in this delegation.

Song Yuxi spent a total of four days in the mainland, visiting the Yanjing Hyundai Automobile Factory under construction and the Wangjing Center Office Building under construction.

In addition to this, Song Yuxi also flew to Liangxi City specifically to inspect the Liangxi Semiconductor Factory project under construction. If the Liangxi Semiconductor Factory is put into operation, it will be the largest memory chip production base in Asia.

In front of the leaders of Jiangsu Province and Liangxi City, LG Group Chairman Koo Bensheng and New Asia Media Real Estate Group Chairman Song Yi both stated that they would increase investment in the mainland, especially in semiconductors, displays, mobile phone batteries and other high-tech industries. In the technology industry, Song Yi made his first ten-second appearance on the Mainland's "Xinwen Lianbo" program.

Kim Tae Hee has lived in China for a while. Of course she knows the value of "News Network". She is a little dissatisfied with Song Yi's dress. Song Yi was wearing a navy blue suit and a brown tie in the news, looking a bit old-fashioned.

In late July, Ning Hao flew from Yanjing to Seoul to prepare for the filming of "Thieves". Song Yi treated him to a meal at his home in Chengbeidong.

"Haozi, Korean filmmakers are a bit xenophobic. They always feel that their film industry is second in the world. Come up with something real and don't let them look down upon you." Song Yi encouraged.

When Ning Hao heard what Song Yi said, he felt much more comfortable. With Song Yi, the biggest boss, taking care of him, who among these Koreans would dare to find trouble with him?

"It's normal. Don't talk about Koreans. I used to be terrible at working with filmmakers from Hong Kong. To put it mildly, I call them a teacher. In fact, I feel that mainland films are not good and cannot compare to Hong Kong films. Hong Kong in the 1980s and 1990s A good movie is a movie, what are those directors making now?" Ning Hao drank some wine and complained to Song Yi.

"It's normal. They can't adjust their mentality. It's obvious that the Hong Kong film market is too small to support so many people, so they go north to make a living."

"In this "A League of Thieves", I mainly want to praise Jun Ji-hyun and truly establish her status as an international movie star. In addition to Jun Ji-hyun, I also want you and Chen Kun to exercise and learn something. After "A League of Thieves" is released , you don’t have to continue making literary films such as "Incense" and "Green Grass", you can also try to make a commercial film directed by yourself." Song Yi said without concealment.

Ning Hao understood what Song Yi meant. If possible, he could get more scenes and lines for Chen Kun's role. As for the Hong Kong artists who guest star in the movie, they have to be lined up at the back.

"Haozi, Liu Chengwan, the director of "League of Thieves", served as the assistant director of a commercial film at the age of 24. You are actually only four years younger than him. Work hard, and I believe that in a few years, you will be able to direct a movie worth hundreds of millions." A cost-effective commercial blockbuster." Song Yi patted Ning Hao on the shoulder and encouraged him.

Ning Hao is the first director signed by the New Asia Film and Television Culture Media Artist Agency. His previous films "Incense" and "Green Grass" were both released in South Korea's HugeDream Cinemas. Although the box office results were dismal, the film ratings were not. Low.

This has also allowed directors such as Jia Zhangke, Wang Xiaoshuai, Lou Ye and Li Yu to find new channels to promote their films. Although their films cannot be released in the mainland, they can be screened in South Korea's HugeDream Cinemas, which will schedule one day a week Used to screen some niche literary and artistic films.

When "Thieves" started filming, Song Yi went to visit the studio and had a very happy chat with Ning Hao and Chen Kun on the set.

Quan Zhixian is smarter. When she learned that Ning Hao was the director of Song Hye Kyo's Sanduoshui mainland commercial, she gave Ning Hao face on the set and always talked about it. With the on-site example of Jun Ji-hyun, the attitude of other Korean actors including Lee Jun-ki towards Ning Hao suddenly improved.

In early August, Manchester United announced that an organization called New Asia Sports Group had acquired 14.3% of the shares from the market.

New Asia Sports Consortium has been circulating shares of Manchester United Club on the market since the second half of last year. After April, the shares of New Asia Sports Consortium exceeded 5% for the first time.

In the past three months, New Asia Sports Consortium has continued to buy shares in Manchester United. As of July 31, 2003, New Asia Sports Consortium held more than 14.3% of the shares in Manchester United.

On August 8, Ms. Kim Hee-won, Chairman of New Asia Sports Foundation, visited Old Trafford Stadium and met with Sir Alex Ferguson, the meritorious coach of Manchester United Club, and other major shareholders of Manchester United Club.

Jin Xiyuan said that the stock price of Manchester United Club is currently seriously undervalued. The goal of the New Asia Sports Consortium is to acquire the Manchester United Club as a whole and complete the privatization and delisting.

In addition to acquiring the club, Kim Hee-won also expressed her support for Ferguson's work. Kim Hee-won promised that if she completes the acquisition, she will expand the Old Trafford stadium and build a modern stadium that can accommodate more fans.

In addition to expanding the stadium, Kim Hee-won also said that more funds will be invested in Manchester United's signings for the new season. Manchester United performed well in the 2002-03 season. After being 11 points behind, they caught up with Arsenal and won the league championship again.

The Premier League was particularly lively in the summer of 2003, when Russian super-rich Avanovich spent 130 million pounds to buy Chelsea Club. As soon as this Russian rich man entered the Premier League, he started the era of gold and dollar football, buying top players everywhere.

The gold-dollar football storm set off by Abramovich has not yet subsided, and the New Asia Sports Consortium is preparing to acquire the Manchester United club as a whole. Newspapers reporting on the Premier League couldn't help but ask questions about their souls. Where did Kim Hee-won and the New Asia Sports Group come from?

"The Times" pointed out that behind Kim Hee-won is Asia's new billionaire Song Yi. In addition to the media, Internet, and real estate businesses, New Asia has made large investments in the sports field for the first time.

If we want to talk about the relationship between New Asia and football, then Song Yi, the actual controller of New Asia, is the nephew of FIFA Chairman Zhou Mengzhun, and PSV Eindhoven player Park Ji-sung is also a contract player of New Asia's agency.

"The Sun" has begun to ridicule the New Asia Sports Group. According to the Forbes Rich List in March 2003, Song Yi's personal net worth is around US$1.5 billion, ranking 399th on the Forbes Rich List.

If the New Asia Sports Consortium really spends a huge amount of money to buy the Manchester United club, what will Kim Hee-won do to complete the expansion of the Old Trafford stadium and invest heavily in signings.

After all, Abramovich, who bought Chelsea Club, is ranked much higher than Song Yi, and Russian tycoons have always liked to hide his personal wealth. Some foreign media believe that Abramovich's actual net worth is actually more than 10 billion US dollars.

When reporters asked Abramovich what he thought of the New Asia Sports Consortium's attempt to buy Manchester United, Abramovich's answer was a bit arrogant: "I don't care who wants to buy Manchester United. For me, the reason why I bought Chelsea is because I like this team."

"I came to the Premier League just to help Chelsea become the best club in the Premier League and even the best club in the world. Believe me, I will bring trophies to Chelsea!" Abramovich was very flamboyant in the interview.

Contrary to Abu, Kim Hee-won's performance is very low-key. She has always been reclusive and does not accept interviews from reporters. Someone broke the news that Kim Hee-won is currently in the stage of giving birth and has some physical inconveniences, but this news has not been confirmed.

In fact, in addition to the New Asia Sports Consortium, the Glazer family from the United States also wants to buy Manchester United. However, compared with the Xinya Sports Consortium, which has strong financial strength, the funds they invested are somewhat insufficient.

Now that the New Asia Sports Consortium has bought most of the Manchester United shares circulating on the market, if Glazer wants to complete the transaction, he has to contact the major shareholders of the Manchester United club one by one.

Now that the Glazer family has not become a shareholder of Manchester United, they have no way to use Manchester United's Old Trafford stadium and training base as collateral to complete a loan from JPMorgan Chase. If they rely on their family's own assets, their money is a bit stretched.

In fact, the New Asia Sports Consortium's actions are much faster than the Glazer family imagined.

On August 11, New Asia Sports Consortium acquired 28.7% of the shares of two Manchester United shareholders, McManus and Magnier, and New Asia Sports Consortium's shares increased to 43%.

On August 14, New Asia Sports Consortium acquired the shares of Manchester United shareholder Harry Dobson, and New Asia Sports Consortium's shares increased to 57.8%. New Asia Sports Consortium became the largest shareholder of Manchester United and also obtained the actual ownership of Manchester United. Control.

As of mid-August, the New Asia Sports Consortium had spent a total of 289 million pounds to buy 57.8% of the shares of Manchester United.

At the beginning of 2003, the market value of the Manchester United club was about 310 million pounds. Because New Asia Sports Group bought a large number of Manchester United shares from the market, it also boosted Manchester United's stock price. Manchester United's current market value is 450 million pounds.

Manchester United held a new board of directors and voted to elect Kim Hee-won, the new chairman of the board of directors of Manchester United.

The first thing Kim Hee-won did after taking office as club president was to agree to Ferguson's resignation as head coach and promote him to the team's football director. Manchester United announced that the team's new head coach is José Mourinho, who was hired from Porto Club.

Ferguson expressed his support for the team's new coach Mourinho: "As you all know, I wanted to retire last year and hand the team over to young people. But because there was no suitable successor, I decided to Stayed for another year.”

"José is a very good head coach. Look at his results this year, right? Porto won the Triple Crown, the Portuguese Super League, the Portuguese Cup and the UEFA Cup this year. He is definitely the best player in UEFA this year. Head coach. With such a great head coach taking over, I can retire with peace of mind."

"Ferguson and Mourinho have different opinions. Who should I listen to?" Jin Xiyuan did not expect that Song Yi would take a special plane to come to the UK to accompany her.

"Your idea was wrong from the beginning. Whether it is Ferguson or Mourinho, their authority cannot override yours. You are the chairman of Manchester United. If you think Ferguson has done the right thing, then support Ferguson. If you think Mourinho is doing the right thing, then support Mourinho."

"Sir Alex Ferguson is a meritorious coach of Manchester United and has a particularly high prestige among Manchester United fans. For such a meritorious veteran of the team, we must give him enough respect, but he is old now after all, so don't let him get too involved. Club specific matters.”

"As for the fans, they are all forgetful. For Manchester United now, as long as you can lead Manchester United to win one championship after another, I believe the fans who hated you at the beginning will become your most loyal fans. After all, competitive sports, The winner is king." Song Yi said.

Song Yi remembers that Abramovich introduced "Madman" Mourinho from Porto Club after the end of the 2003-04 season. But intercepting Chelsea early will deprive Mourinho and Porto of a Champions League trophy?

Portuguese Super League teams like Porto still restrict Mourinho's performance too much. Mourinho still needs to prove his talent in a top team like Manchester United. As long as Mourinho wins more Champions League trophies at Manchester United, it can be regarded as Song Yi's compensation for him.

Jin Xiyuan understood what Song Yi meant, and the team still had to listen to Mourinho's opinion on specific signings. As for Sir Alex Ferguson, you can use him as the team's mascot and don't let him interfere with Mourinho's specific work. After all, one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers.

On August 18, Manchester United Club President Ms. Kim Hee-won and team coach Jose Mourinho met for the first time. Kim Hee-won expressed her support for Mourinho and pointed out that Manchester United's signing capital limit for the new season is 100 million pounds.

After Mourinho heard what Kim Hee-won said, he said that he had never fought such a rich battle in his life. He plans to sell Manchester United forward Forlan and then introduce their main midfielder Makélélé from Real Madrid.

Because Forlan is the striker that Ferguson advocated introducing, his position and role actually overlap with that of Manchester United's main striker Ruud van Nistelrooy. Mourinho chose to sell Forlan and bring in Makelele, which also let Manchester United know that Kim Hee-won chose Mourinho between Mourinho and Ferguson.

Ferguson obviously couldn't stand this anger. The out-tempered old man announced his resignation as the director of football of Manchester United and only retained the position of consultant of Manchester United.

In fact, the Manchester United club was in turmoil in the summer. The "flying boot scandal" broke out in the Manchester United club and David Beckham transferred to Real Madrid. However, Ferguson spent another 12.24 million pounds to bring back Cristiano Ronaldo from the Portuguese Super League.

It was precisely because Song Yi saw the 18-year-old Ronaldo that he accelerated the acquisition of Manchester United.

Ronaldo is the peerless pair of 85-star players, and Song Yi will of course make Ronaldo the core of the Manchester United team. Song Yi is still looking forward to what kind of sparks Mourinho and Ronaldo, who are also from the Portuguese Super League, can create.

Ferguson is of course a great coach, but as he is aging, it seems that it is difficult for him to have a good relationship with young talents. Mourinho is a more suitable head coach candidate. Although we can't see the madman and Sir Alex Ferguson fighting each other, the gold-dollar football battle between Manchester United and Chelsea is also quite interesting.

Song Yi didn't like those Manchester United celebrities. He complained to Jin Xiyuan, "Do you know the difference between Manchester United celebrities and Real Madrid celebrities? Although Real Madrid celebrities will make suggestions for the team's reinforcements and signings, they will not interfere with the club's decisions. However, Manchester United's famous players like to point fingers at the club as if they are the owners of the club."

After the Glazer family acquired the Manchester United club, their results have been mediocre. In addition to the Glazer family's reluctance to spend money in the transfer market, Manchester United celebrities such as Gary Neville, Ferdinand and Skiles are also the main culprits in the tense relationship in the Manchester United locker room. .

"New Asia Sports Consortium will continue to absorb Manchester United stocks from the market. This time can be longer to avoid sharp fluctuations in stock prices and increase our acquisition costs. My goal is to have New Asia Sports Consortium hold shares within one year. Manchester United shares exceed 75%. At that time, we will seek to delist the Manchester United Club, and our goal is to hold 100% of the Manchester United Club."

"If Manchester United is delisted, then the Manchester United club will become the private property of the New Asia Sports Consortium. If there is another so-called Manchester United celebrity dictating the club's operations on TV media or newspapers, I will let him go to Old Trafford. You can't even enter the stadium." Song Yi said coldly.

In late August, the New Asia Sports Consortium approached the Manchester City Council and the two parties reached an agreement on the expansion of the Old Trafford Stadium.

This renovation plan is to add a third level of stands to the Old Trafford Stand, and then build an official fan hotel in the northwest corner behind the famous Ferguson Stand.

In addition to the official Manchester United fan hotel, Manchester United will also build a fan park behind the main stand. The entire renovation plan is expected to take four to six years.

The advantage of this expansion plan is that Manchester United can continue to do so on a sporadic basis without affecting the playing space at Old Trafford.

In addition to this, the New Asia Sports Consortium will also expand the Charlton Stand (South Stand), Old Trafford's only single-tier stand.

Manchester United will dismantle the Charlton Stand and rebuild it during the off-season. Because Old Trafford is sandwiched between a river and a railway, expansion to the abandoned railway was the only feasible plan. If the Charlton Stand is demolished, the number of fans at Manchester United's home stadium will drop to 52,000.

The entire expansion plan is expected to cost about 300 million pounds because it will build a hotel, a fan park and expand the Charlton Stand. Since the expansion plan will be spread over six years, it will not cause financial pressure on the actual operation of the Manchester United club. After considering labor costs in the UK, Manchester United has planned to let Korean or Chinese construction companies be responsible for the expansion of the Old Trafford Stadium, such as the famous Chinese Construction.

After the Old Trafford stadium expansion plan was finalized, Jin Xiyuan began to rush Song Yi back to Seoul. "In a few days, Seoul National University will hold the summer graduation ceremony and degree awarding ceremony. You must be with us at such an important moment." Next to Tae Hee. You can return to China with peace of mind, and my mother will be with me, I will have no problem."

When he returned to the mainland in July, Song Yi told Zhou Shulan that both sisters, Kim Xiyuan and Kim Taehee, were pregnant. Zhou Shulan was shocked, but also felt particularly sorry for her daughter-in-law Jin Xiyuan who was far away in the UK, so she took advantage of the summer vacation to come to the UK to take care of the pregnant Jin Xiyuan. After all, Kim Tae Hee had her mother Kim helping to take care of her.

Jin Xiyuan has officially immigrated to the UK. In order to hide her marriage from others, she registered her marriage with a Chinese man named Song and then quickly divorced. In her words, she hopes her baby will have the same surname as her father.

Only then did Zhou Shulan learn that the sisters Jin Xiyuan had actually planned to marry Song Yi together. When Zhou Shulan went to South Korea to attend Zhou Zhengyong's funeral that year, Jin Xiyuan had already been deeply in love with Song Yi.

While she felt sorry for Jin Xiyuan's difficulties, she also disliked her romantic son Song Yi in every possible way. She was a little confused, "Your father and your brother are both devoted. How come you have a genetic mutation and become an emotional prodigal? Now that your affairs in the UK have been dealt with, go back to Seoul as soon as possible. I It’s out of sight but out of sight.”

Song Yi was a bit shameless, "Mom, when Taixi graduates, she and I will hold a wedding in Seoul. As a mother-in-law, you must attend. No matter how you dislike me, you can only endure it for now. It’s burning.”

He was secretly glad that he didn't tell Zhou Shulan that Chen Fuzhen's son, Chen Yuanzhong, was him. Otherwise, according to the older generation's views of her parents, she would have been so angry that she would have broken his legs.

The content about football has been revised. Ferguson retired early and Mourinho took over Manchester United. I apologize to everyone. Some information was not checked carefully.
