One president said, "If that's the case, what's the point of WEST Airlines?"

"I will outsource the business to WEST Airlines," said Lu Zhenxu.

No one spoke. It was obvious that Dongjing Tongyun was going to be used to coordinate and manage all the logistics operations of the group.

Just then, Jin Junyu walked in and said, "President Qiu Guangzhu, the vice president wants to see you."

Qiu Guangzhu quickly stood up and followed Jin Junyu out.

The presidents saw Kim Jun-woo talking to Choo Kwang-soo while walking, and Choo Kwang-soo nodded frequently. No one knew what was going on.

After Qiu Guangzhu walked into the office and sat down on the sofa, Park Jin Hyuk asked, "Do you know why you were invited here?"

"Is it because of logistics?"

"No, it's about photovoltaics, but it can also be said to be about logistics. The two businesses are interrelated."

Are these two businesses related? Qiu Guangzhu wondered.

Park Jin Hyuk asked him, "Is there any progress on the photovoltaic project you mentioned last time?"

"We have contacted domestic and overseas electric vehicle manufacturers. They all have a need to dispose of used batteries and are willing to hand over the batteries to us for free."

"Well, you helped them solve a big problem." Park Jin Hyuk thought for a moment and said, "I suggest you pay them instead of doing it for free."

"Pay the other party?"

"Yes, pay the other party a certain fee."

"Vice President, why should we pay them? Some companies are even willing to pay us to help dispose of those scrapped batteries."

"Think about the future."

"For the future?"

"Well, now they're willing to give us the batteries for free, but if more people start recycling used batteries in the future and the competition gets fierce, it's hard to say what will happen. So we need to build some competitive barriers."

Seeing that Qiu Guangzhu didn't seem to understand, Park Jin Hyuk continued, "At the same time, we agreed with the other party that we must reach a certain supply volume every year, and it cannot be less than this amount."

Qiu Guangzhu finally understood Park Jin Hyuk's intention and said, "After securing the supply of used batteries, I will look for partners in the photovoltaic business. I heard that the Middle East is planning to build a large-scale photovoltaic power plant, and I plan to go there to learn more about the situation."

"No need to go to the Middle East." Park Jin Hyuk waved his hand.

"What do you suggest?"

"The United States is planning to build large-scale photovoltaic power plants, and we can cooperate with them. They plan to build three 3GWh photovoltaic power plants in Texas. I plan to introduce you to them and provide them with energy storage batteries."

Qiu Guangzhu didn't expect that his boss would act so quickly and had already established connections with the United States.

"9GWh? With such a large scale, I wonder which American company this is?"

“The specific company has not yet been determined.”

Not confirmed yet? Just as Qiu Guangzhu was confused, DS Construction's President Li Yongbin walked in and said, "Vice President, I'm late because I discussed some things with other presidents."

"It's okay. Is everyone else gone?"

"They're all gone."

"Please sit down. We are discussing the photovoltaic project."

Park Jin Hyuk told Qiu Guangzhu and Lee Yongbin, "The US government wants DS to acquire a company that builds photovoltaic power plants in Texas, and I agreed."

"Mergers and acquisitions? I didn't expect you to be so interested in photovoltaic projects." Qiu Guangzhu said.

“The photovoltaic power station project in the United States did not originally include energy storage. We happened to be planning an energy storage project, so I wanted to connect the two projects.”

"If they can be connected, a good synergistic effect can be formed," Li Yongbin agreed.

Park Jin Hyuk asked him, "Have you figured it out? How much investment is needed to build a 3GWh photovoltaic power station in the United States?"

Li Yongbin looked at the information in his hand and said, "The construction investment of a 3GWh photovoltaic power station is about 7 trillion yuan (about 37 billion RMB). If we build three of them, the total investment will exceed 20 trillion yuan."

"20 trillion? That's quite a lot." Park Jin Hyuk said to himself.

Li Yongbin said: "DS Construction cannot handle such a large-scale project on its own. Fortunately, we now have Dongjing Industry."

"The US government directly gave us such a large project without any bidding."

"The US designated us?" Qiu Guangzhu was surprised.

"Yes, and what we are entrusted with is not only the construction, but also the operation after completion."

The two nodded in disbelief.

What they didn't know was that Park Jin Hyuk was not concerned about how to implement the project, but how to use the project to achieve his own goals.

At first, the Japanese government's attitude towards the issue of vaccine side effects raised by the public was unclear.

However, as the number of infections in Japan increased, the government's attitude towards vaccines gradually changed.

In other countries, the epidemic has gradually been brought under control, but the number of infections in Japan is increasing. Therefore, countries have begun to restrict the entry of people from Japan, and goods imported from Japan also need to undergo strict quarantine.

Therefore, the Japanese government made it clear that there was no evidence that the vaccine had the side effects that the public claimed, and asked DS to resume exports to it.

That day, Mao Dayong came to Park Jin Hyuk's office. As soon as they met, he said to Park Jin Hyuk: "Vice President, the Chief Cabinet Secretary of Japan called."

"Leave him alone."

"The ruling party also suggested that we resume exports to Japan."

"We stopped exporting vaccines because they kept saying they had side effects. Can we be blamed for that?"

Mao Dayong nodded, but he still hoped that Park Jin Hyuk would change his decision and resume exports to Japan.

"However, the government has been asking DS Pharmaceuticals to resume exports to Japan. It's best not to offend them."

"Only by continuously putting pressure on Japan can we reach the forces behind public opinion and force them to reveal themselves as soon as possible," Park Jin Hyuk said. "I think they're almost at the end of their rope."

"Who is this person? How dare he challenge DS Group?" Mao Dayong said angrily.

Park Jin Hyuk smiled. "We're not that strong yet, are we? We're not so strong that no one dares to challenge us. There are many opponents who are stronger than us."

Mao Dayong had already thought of several possible opponents, but he was not sure which one it was.

After the South Korean government announced that it would publicly criticize experts who have side effects of the vaccine for vaccination, these experts gradually disappeared.

The Korean Medical Association, which had been silent for a long time, gradually reached a consensus and expressed the opinion that the vaccine should be given.

In the office, Park Jin Hyuk instructed Kim Jun Woo: "Tell President Mao that the supply plan for the third batch of vaccines should not include the domestic market."
