"How was it? Did you meet Governor Brown?" Park Jin Hyuk asked after putting down his glass.
Xuan Yizhu nodded and said, "I met him on his way to the central region after completing his campaign in the west."
"How do you feel?"
"This person is very special. He knows how to be flexible and adaptable. He doesn't insist on his own opinions. He is good at listening to others' opinions. He is different from those who engage in politics in China."
"It seems that you have a good impression of me. From now on, the matter of entering the American market with Sung Seung will be left to you," said Park Jin Hyuk.
"I will do my best."
Park Jin Hyuk picked up his glass and took a sip. "After all, the Korean market is limited. To expand further, we must expand overseas. The Southeast Asian market, led by India, is still maturing, while Europe is already declining. That's why my father chose South America, but I think he should raise his sights a little higher and look to North America." After a pause, Park Jin Hyuk continued, "The problem with the North American market is that while it may appear open, it actually has very strong barriers. Entering there is even more difficult than Japan. We must seize this rare opportunity and work with Governor Brown to enter the US market through the water pipe replacement project."
"Don't worry, I will follow your instructions. At first, I thought you were going to leave Qingyu's affairs to me."
"Qingyu's matter has basically come to an end." Park Jin Hyuk said with certainty.

In the waiting room of the hospital where Chairman Han Chonghuan is working, all the directors of Qingyu Group are here today.
They were talking in low voices, all worried about President Han's health.
"President Jin, how is Qingyu doing now?" a director asked President Jin Chengren.
"To be honest, the situation is very bad."
At this time, Park Jin Hyuk walked into the waiting room and asked, "Is everyone here?"
"Vice President Park, you're here too."
"I just arrived. Have you met President Han?"
The directors all shook their heads, their expressions looking very sad.
At this time, Li Zhenshu walked in and said to Park Zhenhe coldly: "Son-in-law, you are here, why don't you say hello to me?"
"So you're here. I thought you weren't here." Park Jin Hyuk said.
"I've always been here, and since all the directors are here, let's hold an impromptu board meeting here." As she said that, Li Zhenshu sat down in an empty seat.
"First, I want to tell the directors that there is no hope for the president. The doctor has asked the family to consider whether it is necessary to continue like this. I will discuss this matter with the family."
After hearing the news directly from Lee Jung-sook, the directors couldn't help but turn their eyes to Park Jin-hyuk.
In this situation, what everyone is most worried about is that Lee Jung-sook insists on acquiring PJ Logistics in order to raise enough funds, and everyone hopes that Park Jin-hyuk can stand up and stop her.
"So please be mentally prepared," said Lee Jung-sook, glancing at everyone. She believed that except for Kwak Seok-ki and Kim Sung-in, the other directors would obey her orders, so they wanted to keep their positions as directors.
"At this time, you are still planning to make a paid capital increase. This is probably not appropriate." Park Jin Hyuk finally spoke.
"You don't need to be involved in the affairs here. Please leave. You are not a director of Qingyu."
"Are you a director?" Park Jin Hyuk asked with a smile.
"I advise you to get out quickly, otherwise I will not be polite."
But Park Jin Hyuk didn't seem to have any intention of leaving. "If I'm not qualified to participate, then you are not qualified either."
Lee Jung-sook impatiently gestured to the attendants outside the door, but before her attendants came in, two of Park Jin-hyuk's attendants walked in first.
Park Jin Hyuk said, "I think we should not interfere in Qingyu's affairs. Let the directors make their own decisions." Then he stood up and said, "I have something else to do. I'll take my leave now."
After nodding to the directors, Park Jin Hyuk walked out of the waiting room.
Not long after he left the hospital, news appeared in the newspaper that Qingyu’s Chairman Han Junhuan was critically ill. Because there was no designated successor, Qingyu Group was caught in a struggle for control of the company.
On the day the news spread, Qingyu's stock price began to rise and soared 10% at the close of trading.
Although some people are worried about Qingyu's future, most people are still optimistic about Qingyu's stock in the short term.
In his house in Pyeongchang-dong, Park Jin-hyuk was sitting on the sofa watching TV. The TV was showing a special program about Chairman Han Jun-hwan and the development history of Qingyu, while also analyzing who would become the next leader of Qingyu Group.
In the end, the opinion came down to the fact that Qingyu Group would most likely be handed over to professional managers.
Because Han Jun-hwan's sons are too young and have no experience in managing a business, Lee Jung-sook also has no management experience, and the eldest daughter Han Ji-yeon has already married into the DS Group.
At this time, Han Ji-yeon walked into the living room. Seeing that her eyes were a little red, Park Jin-hyuk hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"
She said sadly, "Is there really no hope for my father?"
Park Jin Hyuk nodded silently. "We found the hospital, it's the best hospital in Korea, and we told the doctor not to worry about the money, but the doctor still thinks there's no need to continue."
After hearing this, Han Ji-yeon burst into tears of sadness. After all, her father was her only living direct relative.
Park Jin Hyuk went forward and hugged her, patted her back gently and comforted her: "Don't worry, I'm here for you."

Today is the last day of voting in South Korea's presidential election.
In Park Jin Hyuk's office, Guo Xiji is discussing Qingyu's problem with him.
Li Zhenshu insisted on increasing capital by 2 trillion, which led to a sharp rise in Qingyu's stock price. In order to lower the stock price so that she could buy more stocks, she deliberately spread the news that Chairman Han was critically ill.
Park Jin Hyuk instructed Guo Xiji to spread the news of Qingyu's paid capital increase because he also did not want to see Qingyu's stock price rise.
Subsequently, Guo Xiji spread the news that Qingyu planned to conduct a third-party paid capital increase. As a result, the stock price, which had originally risen by 30%, fell another 15%. However, it was soon reported that the third party conducting the paid capital increase was Sanfeng Group, which stopped the stock price from falling.
Jin Junyu walked into the office and reported to Park Zhenhe: "Vice Chairman, Sampoong Group just issued an announcement to clarify the market rumors that Sampoong will increase its capital in Qingyu with compensation."
Park Jin Hyuk nodded and said, "Let's go, let's go to Qingyu."
"Going to Qingyu?"
"Qingyu has convened an extraordinary board meeting. Let's go and see what's going on." Park Jin Hyuk said as he walked out.
Kim Jun-woo hurriedly picked up Park Jin-hyuk's coat and followed him.
