"Stop talking nonsense. Putting aside the facts, Samsung is definitely not going to pay this amount. Do you think this is a small amount? Even for Samsung, paying this amount would be a huge financial blow."
"Hmph, then what do you suggest we do?"
"Actually, ordinary people don't save much to begin with. Even if it doubles, it might only add a few million won. It's mainly the rich who save a lot. Luckily, I kicked out the people from the four major conglomerates last time, otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable."
"Rich people? Can they be richer than Samsung?"
"Cui Dacheng, that's enough! Believe me or not, I can remove you from office with a single word and make you take the blame for this?"
Choi Dae-sung fell silent. He knew that Lee Chong-myung truly had the ability. In South Korea, when the government wanted to do something, sometimes they had to consider the attitude of the Lee family at Samsung.
Li Chongming pinched the bridge of his nose and then continued.
"Alright, let's stop arguing. South Korea is going through a special period right now and needs a stable official organization to oversee things. Let's discuss this money issue instead."
"Master Li, do you mean to make money back from those rich people?"
"That's right. What do rich people buy? Cars, houses, watches, and luxury goods. They drive up the prices of these things and spend the extra money."
After careful consideration, Cui Dacheng realized that this was indeed the best solution at present. It must be said that Li Chongming's ability to see the problem so clearly in such a short time truly lived up to his reputation as the head of the Li family.
However, he then thought of another problem.
“But Mr. Li, raising the prices of these things might not be enough for Samsung alone; we’ll need the other four major conglomerates to step in.”
"I know, otherwise why would I call you? Do you want me to report to you about work?"
"this……"
Cui Dacheng understood. It turned out that Old Man Li wanted to dump this troublesome task on him. No wonder he was giving him a friendly look today.
Bah, those despicable capitalists.
However, it seems that it is indeed better for Samsung to handle this matter itself. After all, in the previous incident involving Bangzibao, Samsung offended four other conglomerates at the same time, especially Lotte. I heard that Lotte's heir was beaten so badly by his father that he almost died because of this.
What Choi Dae-sung didn't know was that the other four conglomerates had already formed an alliance, and their only goal was that Samsung had to pay for this money!
First, it's about venting that pent-up anger.
Secondly, when Samsung is severely weakened, seize the opportunity to pounce and take a bite out of them, dragging Samsung down from its pedestal.
Therefore, after visiting all four chaebols, Cui Dacheng found that their opinions were surprisingly consistent.
What I'm saying is, if you're going to have trouble with Bangbao, go find Samsung. Why are you coming to us? Samsung wouldn't let us use Bangbao to make some money back then, but now that things are going wrong, they're thinking of us?
Cui Dacheng was helpless in this regard; if it were him, he wouldn't be willing to cooperate either.
With a sigh, Cui Dacheng returned Li Chongming's call.
"Old Li, all four families refused. We can't persuade them, we simply can't persuade them."
Li Chongming also sighed. He could have predicted this situation, since Samsung had indeed gone a bit too far before, which was why he had asked Cui Dacheng to intervene.
On the one hand, it's because Choi Dae-sung is the president, with extensive connections and a lot of influence. On the other hand, it's because Choi Dae-sung is quite eloquent; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to become president, right? After all, a president needs to give speeches.
Even with Cui Dacheng's intervention, it didn't work, which is a bit troublesome.
He thought for a moment and then said.
"How about the government raises the tax rate a bit?"
"Old man Li, are you crazy? Which country raises taxes so easily these days? I'd rather not be president than be that bastard who raises taxes! He'll be nailed to the history books and cursed!"
After saying that, Cui Dacheng hung up the phone immediately. This old man Li is really crazy; he can come up with such a terrible idea.
Li Chongming felt very tired. He rubbed his temples and was just about to sit down and have a sip of tea when Li Dashun came running over again.
"Master, something has happened!"
"What happened now?"
"I don't know where the rumor came from, but it's said that Samsung Real Estate is going to join forces with other conglomerates to raise housing prices. Now all the people with money are going to Samsung Real Estate to buy houses."
"What?"
Li Chongming almost fainted.
Using this extra money to buy a house with Samsung Real Estate, wouldn't that be like getting something for nothing?
He's trying to figure out how to get all this extra money out of the people, and you're telling me they've spent it all on me?
Good grief, so in the end, Samsung ended up bearing the brunt of everything?
"What are you standing there for? Hurry up and raise the housing prices!"
"Okay, okay!"
Li Dashun quickly took out his phone and called the staff at Samsung Real Estate, asking them to double the price, even if it meant not selling!
However, Samsung Real Estate staff responded differently.
"Brother, you're too late! They're all sold out!"
At that moment, Li Chongming finally collapsed to the ground.
"Ambulance! Call an ambulance quickly! The patriarch has fainted!"
Fortunately, there was a doctor at the Li family manor who quickly rushed over and gave Li Chongming first aid.
An ambulance arrived and took Li Chongming to Samsung's own hospital, where all the specialists were waiting.
After a series of emergency treatments, Li Chongming survived the critical period.
During Lee Chung-myung's emergency treatment, all of Samsung's senior executives immediately put down their work and rushed to the hospital to wait for him.
If Li Chongming dies, then who will become the new head of the family, and who will be part of the new head's faction, are all very important matters.
Upon hearing the news that Li Chongming had been sent to the hospital, the four major conglomerates immediately took action.
They started seizing Samsung's market share from various industries.
Outside the hospital's emergency room, the phones of a group of Samsung executives surnamed Li rang incessantly.
But right now, the most important thing for them is whether the old man inside can wake up. Business rivals and market share are all secondary. They might even lose their jobs in a little while. Who cares about anything else?
It wasn't until Lee Chong-myung woke up that the Samsung executives finally felt relieved.
But the subsequent data statistics surprised them even more.
Have the four major conglomerates completely broken ties? They've swallowed up so much market share at once! This involves all sectors of Samsung's business!
Looking at the old man lying on the bed, no one dared to tell him about it. If he were to be shocked and suddenly die after hearing it, they might have to pay with their lives.
