Alice had clearly prepared well, and her questions were sharp but not too embarrassing, striking the perfect balance.
She would also talk about some light-hearted topics from time to time to make the interview more relaxed.
The interview is gradually coming to an end.
Alice said, "Finally, I'd like to ask a cliché question: What business area is DS Group currently focusing on the most? And why?"
Park Jin Hyuk didn't answer immediately, but stared at Alice quietly.
Alice seemed to read something from the other person's eyes, and her heart moved.
In fact, in Park Jin Hyuk's eyes, Alice has always been just a reporter and work partner, and he was concentrating on thinking about how to answer the questions raised by the other party.
He intended to send a signal to the outside world through this issue, but if it was not handled well, it might be misinterpreted by the outside world.
After some thought, Park Jin Hyuk said:
"I haven't been in charge of DS Group for long. After studying the group's business in depth, I found that there is an area we need but have not yet entered. Now that the vaccine has been successfully launched on the market, I plan to increase investment in this area."
"Which field is this?"
“It’s in the logistics field.”
Alice thought quickly in her mind. Logistics has long been a red ocean. What is the purpose of him emphasizing the need to invest in this field?
She said, "E-commerce has been booming in recent years, with new e-commerce companies constantly emerging and old ones closing down. Many e-commerce companies are investing in logistics centers, trying to leverage their logistics advantages to build core competitiveness, but it seems they haven't been able to achieve the desired results. Given this situation, why did you decide to enter the logistics field?"
"Yes, I've made the decision," Park Jin Hyuk explained. "The fierce competition in a field indicates that it's attractive enough. So even if it's a red ocean, I'm still prepared to give it a try. Of course, I won't go it alone, but rather form a consortium."
"Are you planning to look for external financial investors?"
“Instead, I intend to collaborate as a financial investor.”
"Have you been negotiating with external companies?" This question itself carries a lot of information. If Park Jin Hyuk answers YES, it means that he has not yet determined the final partner. If he answers NO, it is just an idea of his.
"I already have potential partners, but I haven't had in-depth contact with them yet."
“Can you tell me which company it is?”
Park Jin Hyuk deliberately turned his head to look at Han Ji Yeon, then said, "Sorry, no comment."
Alice became even more curious. "Since your marriage, there have been constant reports that DS will cooperate with Qingyu. Although Qingyu has a logistics company, it is only responsible for Qingyu's internal logistics business and has not launched any market-oriented business. Could it be that DS plans to cooperate with Qingyu to expand into the logistics field?"
"No comment."
Despite Park Jin Hyuk's refusal to comment, Alice still wanted to dig out more information:
"Not long ago, DS Communications' e-commerce division became an independent subsidiary. Is this relevant to your logistics planning?"
"You know a lot about DS..."
"E-commerce is now a focus for investors. Sanfeng Group is undoubtedly the best in China. DS wants to compete with Sanfeng, right?"
“I can only say I have no comment on this question.”
Alice still received a no comment, but she knew she was right.

The interview was over, and Han Ji-yeon didn't say a word while sitting in the car on the way home.
Seeing Park Jin Hyuk take out Alice Min's business card and look at it over and over again, she became unhappy: "What? Becoming a baby?"
"If used properly, it could indeed be a treasure," said Park Jin Hyuk.
Han Ji-yeon turned her head away angrily and stopped talking.
Jin Junyu sensed a strange atmosphere and quickly changed the subject, "Director, the Financial Times asked if the last question in the interview could be published?"
"Tell them that DS has not yet made a final decision and ask them to be cautious in their comments."
“Don’t tell them explicitly whether they can or cannot publish?”
"Don't be too explicit, or you don't know how they'll interpret it. Be vague, and they'll figure it out."
At this time, Han Zhiyan realized that they were not heading home and asked, "Where are we going?"
"Go to my grandfather's place in Chengbeidong."
"What are you going there for?"
Han Ji-yeon recalled an unpleasant experience a few days ago. When she went to attend the party of the president's wives, Li Shanming treated her very badly and she didn't want to see this person again.
"Go see grandpa and grandma."
"Why didn't you tell me in advance?"
"You don't want to go?"
"That's not the case..." Han Ji-yeon muttered.
"It's okay, I won't stay long."
Han Ji-yeon didn't say anything, which was considered as her agreement.
The car stopped in front of the gate of Park Jin Hyuk's grandfather's house in Seongbuk-dong. Park Jin Hyuk and Han Ji Yeon got out of the car and walked into the gate together.
"Your grandfather's mansion is better than your parents' previous mansion." Han Ji-yeon said.
"Do you like it?"
"Well, your grandfather is an architect. He really lives up to his reputation, building his own house so well."
"If you like, we can live here in the future."
"What did you say?"
Before Han Ji-yeon could continue asking, they had already walked into the house.
As soon as they entered the house, they ran into Li Shanming head-on, "What are you doing here?!"
Park Jin Hyuk said, "Please stop yelling like that, okay? It's too scary."
"This is not DS. You are not welcome here."
"Although this isn't DS, it's still my home. Can't I just go back to my own home?"
"Why is this your home?"
Park Jin Hyuk's grandmother came out and saw this scene. She scolded her daughter, "Why are you yelling at them? Jin Hyuk, Ji Yeon, you are here."
Grandma said, stepping forward and taking Han Zhiyan's hand, "I'm waiting for you."
"Grandma, are you feeling well?" Han Ji-yeon asked.
"I'm fine. Why don't you come over more often? I've been missing you."
"I miss you too. The old lady from Shengzhen Construction asked me to say hello to you. Why didn't you come to the old lady's birthday?"
"Are you going? I would have gone if I had known."
"Nowadays, if there is a party, I will basically attend it. You can come too."
"Well, you should join us. It will help Zhenhe. Remember to call me when you go next time."
The grandmother ignored her daughter and pulled Han Ji-yeon inside, and Park Jin-hyuk followed them in.
