Han Ji-yeon asked Park Jin-hyuk, "From now on, will Sampoong Chemical be independent from Sampoong Group?"

"This is what both Li Xianyu and Li Shangyu hoped for. Li Xianyu sold Sampoong's e-commerce business to me and temporarily overcame the current debt crisis by mortgaging Sampoong Machinery."

"Why did you help Li Xianyu?"

"Because I don't want Sanfeng to fall."

"Why?" Han Ji-yeon felt a little strange.

Logically speaking, if Sampoong falls, it will be most beneficial to Park Jin Hyuk, and DS can become the number one chaebol in South Korea.

"Because the time has not come yet, if Sampoong, which has great influence in Korea and the world, falls, what consequences do you think will occur?"

Han Ji-yeon looked at Park Jin-hyuk and didn't answer immediately.

"If that happens, DS and Qingyu will also suffer." Park Jin Hyuk said, "Business operations require a stable environment. An entrepreneur does not want a volatile environment. Therefore, Sampoong cannot fail."

"Are you planning to eat away Sanfeng bit by bit?"

"You still know me best."

Han Ji-yeon felt a chill. Sam-pung was like a lamb to be slaughtered. He had been hung up by Park Jin-hyuk, but still had a breath left.

"It will take some time to completely defeat it. After all, it was too powerful in the past. Li Xianyu mortgaged all of his shares and Sanfeng Machinery to creditors, and the creditors agreed to a bond extension. Although it temporarily got through the difficult times, Sanfeng's fate was sealed from the moment it acquired C Photovoltaic Company."

"Are the side effects of acquiring Photovoltaic Company C that significant?"

"Yes, Sanfeng now wants to sell C Photovoltaic Company, but not only can it not sell it, it also has to buy back the shares held by the Russian government."

"Why?"

"After I spoke with Brown on the phone, the SEC ruled that Sanfeng Group needed to buy out the Russian government's shares in C Photovoltaic. Sanfeng certainly didn't want to buy, but it had no other choice because it didn't want to exit the US market, so it had to accept the SEC's ruling."

Han Ji-yeon found it unbelievable, but she knew that what Park Jin-hyuk said was true.

"Did you ask Brown to do this?"

Park Jin Hyuk smiled and said, "This was Brown's decision. I simply blocked all other paths and left only this one for Sampoong."

At this time, the resolution of the Sanfeng shareholders' meeting was displayed on the TV screen.

The quadrennial US presidential election is a major event in the Western world. Who becomes the US president will greatly influence the direction of world development in the next four to eight years.

This US election was filled with dramatic events. The initially favored candidate was Buchanan, who, by collaborating with the DS Group during the Paris flu outbreak, successfully prevented the further spread of the flu and saved the United States from the horrors of the epidemic.

His own reputation has therefore reached its peak, and public opinion believes that he will be elected as a matter of course.

On the Democratic side, Snyder first challenged Buchanan, who belonged to the Republican Party, and then Brown emerged and gradually gained the upper hand.

Brown abandoned Buchanan's new energy concept and was committed to promoting water pipe renovation projects to improve people's livelihood in backward areas. The core of his policy was to promote large-scale livelihood and civil engineering projects.

Today is the day when votes are counted in the US election.

Han Ji-yeon sat on the sofa, eating fruits and snacks while watching the broadcast on TV.

Han Ji-yeon is pregnant. She used to have a small appetite, but now she eats a lot. Not long after finishing breakfast, she feels hungry again.

Looking at her eating recklessly, Park Jin Hyuk said with a smile: "Don't you feel full if you keep eating like this?"

"I'm worried about this too, but for the sake of my child, I have to eat." Han Ji-yeon said while drinking yogurt.

After drinking the yogurt, she said to Park Jin Hyuk, "I want to eat pig's trotters."

"Then let Aunt Zhang do it."

Han Zhiyan turned around and shouted to Zhang Ma, who was busy in the corridor, "Zhang Ma, I want to eat pig's trotters for lunch."

Aunt Zhang walked in with a smile. "I'll have the maid go buy it right away, but it'll take some time to cook it, so I'm afraid we won't be able to have dinner until later."

"Okay...what should we eat for lunch?" she muttered to herself.

The TV was reporting the results from across the ocean: "The results from New Hampshire in the United States are 20 electoral votes to 6. Governor Brown defeated Vice President Buchanan."

Because the vote counting method in the US presidential election is winner-takes-all, no matter whether the result is 5.5:4.5 or 9:1, all the electoral votes in the state will be counted in Governor Brown's name.

Han Ji-yeon said to Park Jin-hyuk while watching TV, "You know what? Lately at parties, a lot of people have come to talk to me. They all want to establish a relationship with DS and jointly enter the US market."

"Don't make promises easily," Park Jin Hyuk warned.

"Don't worry, I will know how to handle it."

While they were chatting, the results of the US election came out, and the stamp of victory was stamped on Brown's name.

Park Jin Hyuk and Han Ji Yeon were sitting in a car heading to Yangpyeong. They planned to visit their parents today.

Recently, Park Jin Hyuk has been having a lot of good things happen to him.

After being elected as the President of the United States, Brown designated DS Heavy Industries as the main equipment supplier for the engineering projects he advocated, and DS Construction became the main engineering contractor. They no longer need to worry about their performance in the next four years.

Qingyu will provide steel and other construction materials and logistics services for the project.

DS Group became the biggest beneficiary of Brown's election. The stocks of DS and Qingyu rose accordingly and now account for half of the market value of the Korean securities market.

Another good news is that Han Ji-yeon is pregnant.

The car arrived at the gate of the villa. As soon as the two people got out of the car, Secretary Huang, who was waiting there, came forward and said to Han Zhiyan, "Madam, are you feeling well?"

"Thank you, I'm fine." Han Ji-yeon replied.

Park Jin Hyuk said with a smile, "Secretary Huang, isn't that too much? Do you simply not recognize me?"

Secretary Huang said hurriedly: "President, you are here."

Without waiting for Park Jin Hyuk to answer, he said to Han Ji Yeon, "You must be careful. After Sang Hyuk's wife got into trouble, the old lady was very sad. Everyone is very worried about you."

Just two days ago, Park Sang-hyuk's wife suddenly had a miscarriage.

Feeling that this topic was a bit heavy, Park Jin Hyuk changed the subject: "Secretary Huang, JH Investment just acquired a resort in Sanya, Hainan, China. Let my father and wife go there to relax."

"Really? More than 10 years ago, I accompanied the old president to Hainan, which is a popular holiday destination in China. The scenery and air are both very nice."
