In his office, Park Jin Hyuk is watching commentary on the presidential election on TV.
The host said, "Candidate Zheng Qiying's speech today has attracted widespread attention. What do you think of his speech?"
Experts said: "The content is intriguing. He repeatedly mentioned the United States in his announcement of future economic measures."
"Yes, the US photovoltaic projects have been mentioned many times. Many years ago, South Korea had high hopes for photovoltaic projects, but the results were not satisfactory. Is it different in the US?"
"It's too early to make a definitive judgment."
The host continued, "It's clear that candidate Zheng Qiying attaches great importance to this photovoltaic project."
"This project was discussed at a luncheon for business leaders held at the Blue House earlier this year. This time, he outlined specific measures, stating that the government plans to invest 10 trillion won in photovoltaic projects over the next five years."
"If we talk about the next five years, isn't that the time he'll be in power after being elected?"
“Yes, we promise to provide all-round support for domestic companies to implement photovoltaic projects overseas.”
"The photovoltaic project has been clearly positioned as a national project," said the host.
"Today's speech can be seen as a clear response to Vice President Buchanan. I heard that he has been in frequent contact with Vice President Buchanan recently."
At this time, Jin Junyu walked in and said, "Vice President, the car is ready."
Park Jin Hyuk turned off the TV, stood up and walked out of the office.
After getting in the car, Kim Jun-woo turned around and said to Park Jin-hyuk, "It seems that Vice Chairman Lee Sun-woo is also attending today's banquet."
"Um?"
"Candidate Zheng Qiying's office didn't initially disclose this, but just now they called to let us know there's an extra person coming to the dinner, but they didn't specify who it was. From what I've learned, it seems to be Vice President Li Xianyu."
Park Jin Hyuk said: "Jung Ki-young has now completely regarded himself as president."
"Do you still want to participate?" Jin Junyu asked carefully.
"Go and see what Zheng Qiying looks like now."
Zheng Qiying’s current position is entirely due to Park Jin Hyuk’s support. Since he was able to bring Zheng Qiying to his current position, he can certainly also pull him down.
After about an hour's drive, we arrived at the meeting place in Yangping.
This is a courtyard-style restaurant. Several cars are parked in the courtyard paved with white stones, and some guards in black suits and sunglasses are on guard.
Seeing Park Jin Hyuk and his party arrive, a security guard walked over quickly and said, "The president has arrived and is waiting for you."
Park Jin Hyuk asked Kim Jun Woo and his entourage to wait outside, and then followed the security guards into the restaurant.
There are also many green plants and flowers inside the restaurant. This is a place that politicians and tycoons are very willing to meet and patronize these days.
Seeing Park Jin Hyuk walk in, Zheng Qiying said, "Please come in, you are late today."
There was a hint of blame in Zheng Qiying's tone. He had never spoken like this to Park Jin Hyuk before.
Park Jin Hyuk smiled and said, "I arrived on time, right?"
"Even Vice President Li is here, so you're not too late."
After hearing what Zheng Qiying said, Park Zhenhe turned his gaze to Li Xianyu, "I didn't expect you to be here too."
Li Xianyu said: "I just received a call and rushed over."
Although he knew that Li Xianyu was lying, Park Zhenhe nodded calmly and sat down.
They were the only table of guests in the huge restaurant. Park Jin Hyuk asked, "You've booked the entire restaurant, haven't you?"
Zheng Qiying replied, "I heard that Vice President Li likes clear chicken soup, so I made a reservation at this restaurant."
"You're so kind." Li Xianyu responded
"You need to eat more today."
Not knowing when the two became so close, Park Jin Hyuk said, "You two are very close now."
"Vice President Li and I have always had a good relationship."
"Really?" Park Jin Hyuk didn't wait for the other party to answer, and immediately turned his gaze to the waiter who was serving the dish. At this time, the waiter brought up a whole chicken cooked with medicinal herbs.
Facing Park Jin Hyuk's unreasonable behavior, Zheng Qiying turned to Li Xianyu and said, "How is it? Do you think it tastes okay?"
"Very good. It's your treat today, right?" Li Xianyu said with a smile.
"Of course."
"I wonder what Vice President Park thinks of today's meal?"
Park Jin Hyuk just nodded and didn't say much.
Seeing this, Zheng Qiying said, "You don't seem to be satisfied with the food."
Park Jin Hyuk looked up at Jung Ki Young without answering.
Zheng Qiying frowned, "...Why don't you answer?"
"I don't know what to say."
Zheng Qiying hopes that Park Jin Hyuk can respond positively to him like Lee Sun Woo, but Park Jin Hyuk does not have such an idea.
Seeing that the atmosphere was becoming awkward, Li Xianyu quickly urged, "Try it quickly, or the food will get cold."
Zheng Qiying and Park Zhenhe then lowered their heads and started eating.
After a long while, Park Jin Hyuk put down his chopsticks and said, "We've almost finished eating. Tell me, what was the purpose of calling me here today?"
Zheng Qiying and Li Xianyu looked at each other and said, "You are familiar with the photovoltaic projects in the United States, right?"
"Is there anyone here who knows more about this project than I do? What do you want to say?"
"Sanfeng has successfully acquired Company C."
Park Jin Hyuk looked at Lee Sun Woo with a questioning look in his eyes. Lee Sun Woo nodded and said, "The negotiations for the acquisition of American shares have been concluded. The acquisition amount is 2 trillion won and the news will be announced soon."
"2 trillion, you paid too much for it, I think it's only worth 1 trillion."
“As long as I like something, I don’t care how much it costs.”
"Haha, you're really rich." Park Jin Hyuk said, "You called me here just to tell me this, right?"
Zheng Qiying said to Park Jinhe, "I heard that after the lunch meeting at the Blue House, you met with Vice President Li alone?"
"You understand our situation very well."
"As the general coordinator of the photovoltaic project, of course I have to be aware of all aspects of the situation."
"Well, what are your instructions?"
"I want to make it clear that the general contractor for the photovoltaic project is Sanfeng Group. DS Group is requested to cooperate fully. From photovoltaic panel production and construction to power station operation, Sanfeng Group is the primary responsible party."
Park Jin Hyuk was not surprised by Zheng Qiying's words, but he still looked at the other party in surprise.
"Sanfeng has already taken over the acquisition and photovoltaic panel production of Company C. Now they want to interfere in the construction and operation of photovoltaic power plants? This is too much."
