Chapter 187 The Bear's Intentions Are Too Obvious

"We are very sincere, Mr. Blackburn."

"We just want your...friendship."

In the large conference room, an Asian man who looked to be about 60 years old and sat at the head of the table spoke in fluent English.

"Yes, you don't need to invest too much. If you feel it's not suitable, you can terminate it at any time."

Another old man who was slightly younger than him and sitting on the other side of him immediately joined in.

"What are you hesitating about?" another old man about their age added.

A few minutes later, Milo, who was standing in front of the French window looking outside, finally turned around and smiled at the three old men: "This is a very wonderful city."

“Of course, Seoul is the biggest and best city in our country.”

The first old man said immediately, with a proud look on his face.

Milo shook his head slightly in his heart, thinking that he was indeed a Korean.

But so what? Lee Jianxi is known for his tough style and once he opens his mouth he will get straight to the heart of the matter.

But they still have to speak in a roundabout way in front of me. Who makes them ask for help?

Also, even though it’s 1997 now.

The official Chinese name of the city of Seoul was not recognized by its former motherland until 2005.

But in fact, they themselves have called it Seoul as early as 1948.

"Xingxingxing is indeed a very powerful company, so I agreed to the first thing," Milo continued.

"Are you serious, Mr. Blackburn?!" Li Jianxi's eyes lit up, and the other two old men also narrowed their eyes.

"I do see an unprecedented sense of collective honor here in Xingxingxing, which is something we Americans don't have," Milo said slowly.

It was April 5th, and three days had passed since Milo left Tokyo and came to Seoul.

South Korea is the main reason why Milo came to Asia this time.

To be precise, it is the chaebols in South Korea.

This is the real reason why he came to Asia this time.

The three old men frowned slightly at the same time.

"Is that all?" Li Jianxi asked calmly, but even so, there was a hint of suppressed dissatisfaction in his tone.

Milo didn't feel uncomfortable with his tone.

Milo actually understood it very well, after all, if he were like them.

Being forced into a desperate situation, they have to turn around and surrender and speak nicely to the person who forced them into a desperate situation.

They also want to invite the culprit back to be their emperor.

This is too much to ask.

If it were Milo's personality, he might have gone up and fought to the death.

But... these guys, should I say these chaebols in South Korea.

They all started out by licking the stick of the country's surname Park.

Later, they licked Japanese capital until the Americans began to suppress Japanese capital.

They began to lick European and American capital again, mainly American capital.

They must be used to licking.

So it is impossible for him to be forced into a desperate situation and fight with others like Milo.

Just like their ancestors, when they encounter an invincible enemy.

They will only try to find support from outside the region and then rely on that support to repel the enemy.

If there is no support from outside the region, they will simply surrender to the enemy.

They have been serving the big powers for thousands of years.

Looking at the three old men with anxious expressions.

"Don't worry, Mr. Li, Mr. Gu, and Mr. Zheng." Milo said leisurely, "I have only been in South Korea for a few days, and I have just adjusted to the time difference. Although I have listened to the report of the person in charge who was sent here to investigate, and also attended today's meeting, there are some things that I have to look at in detail, consider, and exchange opinions with the United States before I can make a decision, right?"

"And I have a better idea about cooperation. It also takes time to collect data and intelligence and make a judgment based on it."

"I will stay here for a few more days, and I will definitely give you three a satisfactory answer before I leave."

The three old men here who talked to Milo.

They are Sing Sing, LG and Hyundai Motor’s current leaders Lee Gun-hee, Koo Bon-mo and Chung Mong-koo.

Milo's purpose for coming here was simple, after months of attacks at the end of last year and the beginning of this year.

The Korean government's finances have collapsed, and the private economy and Korean finance are in dire straits.

This is economic and national political pressure.

As for their personal and family aspects, American students from the Seoul Prosecutors Office were instructed by their masters.

The knife was sharpening above their heads.

One is the enterprise, the other is your own safety.

If it is not handled properly, one may not only lose control of the company, but may even be thrown into jail and eventually hang himself in prison.

No one would be willing to do this.

Ordinary people don’t want to die, let alone the heads of the three major chaebols.

At this time, Milo Blackburn——

The grandson of the former US President and the son of the new Secretary of Defense.

Media tycoons, financial tycoons and super-rich people have come to South Korea.

It would be strange if they didn't come looking for us.

Of course, they didn't kneel down and beg for mercy right away.

Li Jianxi started by saying that Xingxing wanted to cooperate with Yahoo to develop Internet products.

LG and Hyundai Motor have expressed their hope to cooperate with Paladin Media in order to enter the US market.

This was the first thing Milo had promised them.

That's it, collaboration.

But in fact, both sides know each other's true thoughts.

They were waiting for Milo to make an offer, while Milo was waiting for feedback from his men.

Today is the first formal contact between the two sides, so naturally there will be no immediate results.

The three old men exchanged glances, nodded imperceptibly, and stood up one by one.

"Then we will be waiting for you." Li Jianxi bowed slightly.

"You guys can arrange the itinerary," Milo nodded, "Just leave it to my secretary."

"By the way, I'm hosting a cocktail party at home tonight, and I hope Mr. Blackburn can come to my humble abode."

Gu Ben who was standing beside him spoke without delay, causing Zheng Mengjiu who was half a step behind to raise his eyebrows.

"I will be there on time," Milo said with a smile.

Although he doesn't like Koreans... maybe it's just a spiritual dislike.

But when it comes to huge interests, he doesn't mind cooperating with the Koreans.

Today, Milo has successfully transformed into a capitalist.

Although ordinary Koreans... according to the words of my previous life, they are all very stupid and sneaky.

But the heads of these big groups and conglomerates are definitely not that stupid.

They are smart and they will never have a seizure.

Speaking of which, the Korean conglomerate is considered the happiest conglomerate in the world.

If they make a profit, it is theirs; if they make a loss, the state will pay for it.

Where does the country's money come from? It comes from the taxes paid by the people below.

So in reality, it is all Koreans who are helping these chaebols bear the risks.

It's really enviable.

Of course, envy is envy.

But Milo knew that no one in the United States had such treatment.

This is a deformed freak. Only in a country as small as South Korea, where the weather forecast can be summarized in one sentence, could such a freak be born.

Although they later went to the United States, it seems that they can live a very comfortable life.

But once the United States weakens, related industries in other countries will rise.

Their model is destined to end in doomsday.

night.

Drinks are boring.

Such parties are common in Los Angeles and New York.

Milo receives invitations almost every day, and no matter how delicious the food is, he will get tired of it if he eats too much.

What's more, it was a hodgepodge of things; he even saw kimchi on the buffet at the cocktail party.

That's outrageous.

Although these guests, who are either rich or noble in South Korea, are all well-dressed.

Although Lee Gun-hee, Jung Mong-koo, and Gu Bon-mo all studied in the United States.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Although South Korea has become highly westernized, a sense of awkwardness still lingers.

Although this might be a prejudice brought over from the previous life, the Japanese rarely gave Milo this feeling.

Perhaps it has something to do with the arrogant and conceited character of the nouveau riche Koreans.

In any case, Japan was at least a second-rate power in the first half of the 20th century, and left an extremely bad but unignorable mark in World War II.

And what does Bangguo have? Not to mention being a vassal state for thousands of years, being a vassal state of China is undoubtedly the most comfortable.

Later, they borrowed the power of Japan to get rid of the influence of China, but were occupied and annexed by Japan in the blink of an eye.

After World War II, we finally gained independence and the Americans came immediately.

There was a big battle on the peninsula, and it ended up like this.

Before that war, so to speak.

The countries and people on this peninsula have absolutely no presence in the world.

So, it took decades to develop the economy.

They naturally want to show off themselves to the world, so it's no wonder that there are all kinds of bullshit like registration scams and so on.

Unfortunately, whether in westernization or preserving traditions, they are not as good as the Japanese.

To give the simplest example, Seoul, the so-called international metropolis, would be in a very different place if it weren't for the Han River running through it, dividing the wealthy Gangnam district from the slum-ridden JB district.

It's definitely not much better than Brasilia, Brazil, let alone Tokyo, so it's normal for Milo to feel awkward.

But he was here as a guest after all, and he also wanted to observe the leaders of these three major groups, so he had to stay no matter how awkward it was.

Those who can become the heads of large groups are not easy to deal with. At the beginning of the cocktail party, Gu Benmao, the host, said a few words.

Then he invited Li Jianxi to come to the front, and after Li Jianxi finished speaking, he suddenly pushed Milo out and invited him to the stage to say a few words in public.

Faced with countless applause, Milo certainly couldn't refuse, so he had to come in front of everyone with a smile.

The two old foxes did this only for two reasons.

Those who can attend the cocktail party hosted by the head of LG are either wealthy people or politicians in South Korea.

For example, Milo saw several people from the South Korean Procuratorate system coming over to greet him with a nod and a bow.

There were even some people from foreign embassies.

They took this opportunity to hint to them that -

Xingxing, LG and Hyundai have begun cooperating with Blackburn of the United States to increase their voice.

At the same time, they can also see Milo's reaction, even though they know his status in the United States, after all, there is the Pacific Ocean between them.

Moreover, I have never met him before, so I can take this opportunity to understand his personality traits, which will definitely be beneficial for the upcoming negotiations.

In that case, how could Milo let them down?

Although he spoke a lot, there was no substantial content at all.

Talk nonsense, this is a necessary skill for everyone who wants to achieve success in their career.

In such a situation, saying the wrong thing, promising something you shouldn't, or conveying the wrong message can sometimes be fatal.

The US election is the most typical example.

What’s interesting is.

Li Jianxi, Gu Benmo, and Zheng Mengjiu came together to meet him.

Now, after the first two spoke at the reception, they pulled Milo out.

But he didn't pay attention to Zheng Mengjiu. It was obvious that there was a conflict between them.

Come to think of it, Xingxingxing and LG are both in the electronics industry.

Although colleagues are enemies, they are more likely to be united when facing external parties.

As for Zheng Mengjiu, he had already been in power in the group.

But his father seemed to prefer his younger brother, Chung Mong-hun.

There have been rumors in South Korea that their father wants to hand over the Hyundai Group to Chung Mong-hun.

This also means that compared to the other two real helmsmen, Zheng Mengjiu has a somewhat unlucky position.

His current position in the Hyundai Group is very unstable, and the only thing he can truly control is Hyundai Motor.

In addition, Hyundai is one of the only two car brands in South Korea that has some international fame.

But after all, the time is still short and he cannot be on equal footing with the other two old guys.

If his father Zheng Zhouyong came, the situation would be different.

This is why Zheng Mengjiu is eager to enter the North American market.

If he can open up the situation, his position in the Hyundai Group will undoubtedly be greatly enhanced.

Trust these people who are here.

Many people laughed at him in their hearts because Hyundai Group was doing so well.

However, he was restless and wanted to divide the family business, which not only weakened the family business, but also caused his own status to decline.

But these have nothing to do with Milo, he doesn't bother to care about the internal strife among the Koreans.

He just came here to take advantage of the situation, it's that simple.

Okay, let’s get back to the cocktail party.

Milo was chatting with several young men who were introduced to him. As for the content, it was something that all men liked...

"To put it simply, Western women have a three-dimensional beauty. When we see them, that geometric beauty is very attractive, but the disadvantage is that the lines are a bit hard and lack softness."

"Oriental women are just the opposite. They lack a three-dimensional feeling, but give people a well-behaved and gentle feeling."

"This is also very attractive. If Western women are a ball of fire, whose passion can melt men, then Eastern women are a pool of clear water, so soft that people can immerse themselves in it and cannot extricate themselves." Milo talked freely.

He didn't want to talk about the purpose of coming to Korea, nor did he want to be entangled by those obviously specially trained girls.

It's too obvious, okay? Several of them said they were relatives of the Russian ambassador to South Korea and would come to the cocktail party tonight.

Turns out they were all women.

There are all kinds of shapes and sizes.

Both her appearance and figure are extremely beautiful.

But the smell of swallows on them was too strong.

It was so strong that Milo could sense their true identities without Kenny and the others reminding him.

I can only say that these Russian bears are really poor at doing things.

Even if you want to use the beauty trap, you don't have to write it directly on the forehead like this, right?

That's right, Milo Blackburn likes to play with women.

But he doesn't want the woman he plays with to be a specially trained swallow or some other kind of oriole.

That way I won't be able to sleep well at night.

This is also the reason why he particularly likes to play with those Hollywood stars who became famous in their previous life.

At least they had been proven to have nothing to do with the agents in his previous life.

So, Milo had no choice but to talk about women with a bunch of young men of similar age...
