Is this a test for us? This question popped up in everyone's mind.
Park Jin Hyuk smiled and said slowly, "If you feel that I am not suitable to be the chairman of DS Group, you can tell me in person. The content of today's meeting will be strictly confidential, and I will not blame you."
This made everyone present even more confused.
The directors couldn't figure out what Park Jin Hyuk was going to do, and DS's interim board meeting ended like this.
Because DS Group did not disclose any meeting information to the outside world, various speculations arose from the outside world, triggering a series of chain reactions.
[DS Group accelerates its layout in the solar energy sector?]
[Plan to invest 20 to 40 trillion won in solar energy business]
[Solar energy-related stocks surge in the Korean stock market]
[Will Vice Chairman Park Jin Hyuk succeed in this investment in the solar energy sector?]
[DS Electronics may acquire US company C]
Public opinion pointed to the purpose of convening the interim board meeting as the implementation of a new solar energy project.
The public discovered that Company C is a leading photovoltaic company in the United States and has the production capacity of photovoltaic cells and modules.
It is a joint venture between the United States and Russia, headquartered in the United States with a market value of 10 trillion US dollars, of which Russia holds a 30% stake and the United States holds a 20% stake. If the US shares can be purchased, it will be beneficial to enter the two major photovoltaic markets of the United States and Russia at the same time.
Jin Junyu walked into Park Zhenhe's office and said, "Vice Chairman, I just received news that Qingyu plans to hold another extraordinary shareholders' meeting."
"Lee Jung-sook has finally fallen into the trap."
Before he finished speaking, Park Jin Hyuk's cell phone rang. It was President Kim Sung In calling.
"President Jin, I just received news that Qingyu is going to hold another shareholders' meeting."
"Yes... Vice President, Vice President Li Xianyu of Sanfeng Group called and said he wanted to meet with me to discuss how to deal with this."
"Really?" Park Jin Hyuk responded excitedly, "Then you have to go and see him and hear what he has to say."
"You suggest I go see him?"
"If you don't go, it would be rude and you would lose an opportunity to understand his intentions. Of course you should go and see him."
As he spoke, Park Jin Hyuk looked out the window. The sky was covered with dark clouds, and it seemed that a blizzard was about to come.
After hanging up the phone, he said to Jin Junyu: "The fish here are about to be hooked."
"Need to activate your plan?"
"No, wait, wait a little longer."
"It seems that the result will be known before the election." Jin Junyu also seemed very excited.
After checking the calendar, Park Jin Hyuk shook his head and said, "I'm afraid the winner won't be determined before the election."

As the new year began, Park Jin Hyuk and Han Ji Yeon went to Yangpyeong to pay their respects to their parents, and then received an invitation from the president.
The president plans to hold a New Year's entrepreneur luncheon at the Blue House, inviting a total of five entrepreneur couples, including Park Jin-hyuk and his wife.
On the day of the luncheon, Han Ji-yeon put on her dress with the help of the dress stylist early in the morning.
The clock pointed to 11 o'clock. Jin Junyu walked into the living room and said, "Vice President, it's time to leave."
Han Ji-yeon took Park Jin-hyuk's arm and got into the car heading to the Blue House.
It took only 20 minutes to get from Pyeongchang-dong to the Blue House in Jongno. After arriving at the Blue House, they were guided to the VIP lounge, where the administrative officer of the Presidential Office began to introduce them to the procedures and precautions of today's lunch meeting.
"A total of five entrepreneur couples were invited to the luncheon. This is probably the last entrepreneur luncheon before the president leaves office."
South Korea's constitution stipulates that the president cannot be re-elected, so before leaving office, the president usually uses this opportunity to prepare and lay the groundwork for his or her departure.
The administrator explained, "We've also invited reporters from some media outlets to today's luncheon. There will be a brief exchange with the reporters afterward. Please be prepared. I'll explain the details in detail once the other couples arrive."
"Excuse me, is there any other theme for today's lunch meeting besides the routine New Year's greetings?" Park Jin Hyuk asked.
"I will ask the Chief Secretary to answer this question. Thank you for your understanding."
After saying that, the administrator walked out of the VIP room.
"Oh, someone has already arrived." The presidents and their spouses of Dongping Group, Chengsheng Group and Guozhi Group walked into the VIP room together.
The president of Dongping Group said, "Vice President Park Jin Hyuk, I saw you when you were a child. Do you remember me?"
Although he recognized the other person, Park Jin Hyuk still said, "I'm sorry, I don't remember." His tone was very polite.
"Well, you were too young at that time. How was your father?"
"Father doesn't have to worry about the company anymore, and his health is much better."
"I really envy Chairman Park for having such an outstanding son. Forget about my own son."
The chairman of Chengsheng Group followed up, "It's the same with my son. I gave him a company to practice his skills, but he managed it like a mess. It's so frustrating."
On the other side, the wives of several presidents were surrounding Han Ji-yeon and talking non-stop.
"Jiyan, long time no see, you're getting more and more beautiful."
"I heard that you often come to parties recently, but why haven't I seen you?"
Han Ji-yeon humbly replied, “The party I attended was mostly attended by young people, so I might not have seen you.”
"How can that be? You have to join our party now."
Just as everyone was chatting, the last couple walked into the VIP room.
"It seems I'm the last one to arrive."
A man in his 45s walked in with his wife. Li Mingyun's shadow could be seen in his appearance.
This person is Li Xianyu, the vice president of Sanfeng Group. Although he is the vice president, he is the actual manager of Sanfeng Group.
He first said to Park Jin Hyuk: "I am very happy. I am Lee Sun Woo."
After greeting Park Jin Hyuk, Lee Seon Woo started chatting with several other presidents.
At this time, the administrative officer accompanied the public relations officer back to the VIP room.
The public relations officer formally introduced the procedures and precautions of the luncheon, and clarified the order of entry and seating for the guests.
After the briefing, the public relations officer led the guests through the long corridor to the banquet hall where the lunch was to be held.
As soon as we entered the banquet hall, the cameras in the hands of the reporters started snapping.
The president was already waiting at the door. He stepped forward and said, "Welcome, everyone. Please come in."
The guest couples came forward one by one to shake hands with the president and greet him. When it was Park Jin Hyuk's turn, he bowed and said, "Hello, Mr. President."
The president's expression and demeanor were basically the same as the last time they met, but Park Jin Hyuk still felt some changes from the handshake. The president seemed to be expressing his dissatisfaction with the temporary suspension of vaccine supply.
