Chapter 233 Listing
On July 1, 2000, the Golden Gate Group went public.
After two pre-listing meetings, all of the things mentioned in the draft became a reality and were all incorporated into the Kinmen Group and became subsidiaries of the group.
Li You personally holds 40% of the shares of Kinmen Group and becomes the chairman of Kinmen Group.
Many people from the Kinmen Group's board of directors did not arrive at the scene. Those who were originally under Shi Dongchu's command, after looking around at those attending the meeting, obediently bowed their heads in submission.
For Li You, the Kinmen Group is now really like a one-man show, and only he, Li You, has the final say.
Shi Dongchu, who is still in a deep coma, temporarily serves as the executive director of Kinmen Group, and Li You is in charge of his work during his coma.
Ding Qing is still in charge of Kinmen trade, while Chen Yunji and Park Huichang are responsible for matters related to the entertainment industry.
All of Li You's former confidants became directors, Cui Douri was in charge of all the gray industries under the Kinmen Group, and the former Gangnam Security Chief Zheng Zaizhong and Quan Zaijun were in charge of all the overt security protection of the Kinmen Group.
They all became managers at all levels, and even their official identities were enough to surpass 90% of the people in Seoul.
When Shi Dongchu, the former chairman of the Kinmen Group, got into trouble, Li You continued to do his own thing and granted fiefs to the princes, which indeed caused criticism among many people.
Li Lianchang was the first person to send a gift. He had a very cordial conversation with Li You over the phone and praised Li You's skills.
For a while, congratulations and compliments from all sides kept ringing in Li You's ears.
But Li You was very busy. Kinmen Group had just gone public and he had a lot to do.
A few days after the listing, Li You and Chen Daojun had a pleasant exchange at a banquet.
After Li You put forward his suggestion, Chen Daojun took a sip of wine thoughtfully, "If we do this, Future Electronics and Kinmen Group will be completely tied together."
"If the Golden Gate falls, Future Electronics will also be breached."
Li You smiled and shook his head, "Kinmen will not fall."
Chen Daojun nodded and said, "I also know some of the confidence of the president, but to be reasonable..."
He looked Li You in the eye seriously, "I do think it's too early for you to contact those politicians at this time. Kinmen will be targeted by more people."
Li You glanced out the window calmly, "Even if I don't contact them, they will always contact me or other people."
Chen Daojun sipped his wine and pondered for a long time before nodding his head, agreeing to Li You's initial proposal. "In the future, CETC can use part of its equity to exchange with Kinmen Group. We will discuss the equity ratio later."
This is what Li You mentioned at the beginning of the conversation just now. Future Electronics and Kinmen Group have cross-holdings. This close cooperation model is just like the cross-holdings between Taowu Delivery and Future Electronics.
Under this model, although Li You withdrew a part of his Future Electronics shares and exchanged them for Kinmen Group shares, after transferring the shares from one hand to the other, Li You's control over the Kinmen Group not only increased, but also his control over Future Electronics became much stronger.
On July 4, Future Electronics CEO Chen Daojun and Kinmen Group Chairman Li You signed and verified the cross-holding contract between Future Electronics and Kinmen Group.
It is said that on that night, Chen Rongji, the head of the second generation of Shunyang, and Chen Xingjun, the head of the third generation of Shunyang, had a big quarrel in Zhengxinzhai.
On July 6, Kinmen Entertainment, a subsidiary of Kinmen Group, and Xiancheng Daily, a subsidiary of Xiancheng Daily Group, signed a cooperation agreement.
On July 8, Kinmen Entertainment invested and acquired a stake in Digital Media City owned by Li You.
On July 9, Kinmen Entertainment and SM Entertainment signed a cross-shareholding agreement and released an announcement, officially announcing to the outside world that the artists currently under management contracts of the two companies will be regarded as jointly trained, and the capital contributions and profits will be distributed separately according to the cross-shareholdings.
Ding Qing called Li You on the 10th, speaking in a leisurely tone, "President."
He said casually, "I feel like you're busy these days when I watch the news."
Li You and Ding Qing talked a few days ago. After determining the direction of listing, Ding Qing still did not choose to come back, but stayed in Shanghai to continue discussing business.
The two of them did talk about Shi Dongchu's incident, but Ding Qing deliberately made jokes and didn't get anything out of the conversation.
"What's the matter with calling today?"
Li You leaned back, the night outside the window was like an invisible net, slowly descending, swallowing up the hustle and bustle of the day.
Neon lights are like stars among the tall buildings.
"I will stay here for a while longer," Ding Qing said with a smile, "I originally came here just to have a preliminary discussion, but I didn't expect it to go so smoothly and be settled right away."
Li You raised his eyebrows, "Don't you want to stay in Shanghai for two more days?"
"I have this idea," Ding Qing said frankly, "I don't need to think about it. I know how chaotic Seoul is right now."
"Do you need me to go back and help?"
Ding Qing waved his hand on the other end of the phone, "I can tell you don't need it."
Li You smiled and said, "Then I'll give you a few more days off. It'll be the same if you come back after I finish dealing with things in Seoul."
Although it is late at night, the lights of Seoul are dazzling, yet they also reveal a sense of indifference and alienation. However, although some places are illuminated by searchlights, they are completely different from the style of the city.
If the bustling lights of the city are like a bizarre painting.
In a corner of the picture, a prison building looked particularly gloomy under the dim light of the searchlight.
Inside the high wall made of steel and concrete, a man with a prosecutor's ID hanging around his neck and wearing a well-tailored suit walked into the cage.
The footsteps of the prison guard in front of him intertwined with his footsteps, echoing in the empty and cold corridor.
Deep inside the prison, the thin iron door was opened by the prison guards, and Li Zhongjiu was brought out to the prison's reception room.
When he arrived here, the prosecutor was already sitting inside. The room was dimly lit, and the air seemed to freeze as the two looked at each other. The only sound that could be heard was the occasional sound of wind coming from outside the window and the interlocking breathing of the two people.
Li Zhongjiu sneered and glanced at the prosecutor's ID card unscrupulously, "Prosecutor Jin. Tsk."
He smiled contemptuously, "Prosecutor, what do you want to see me so late at night? I remember that you are not allowed to visit prisoners so late, right?"
The prosecutor looked down at his ID card. The three words "Kim Seok-hoon" were very conspicuous under the light.
Jin Xixun raised his eyebrows, "The warden has been bribed by Li You, so we can only come here when the warden is off work. It just so happens that I also know a few prison guards, and they can provide some convenience for us."
He looked at Li Zhongjiu, whose expression remained calm, and narrowed his eyes slightly, "You should know that Chairman Shi of your Kinmen Group had a car accident."
"I know," Li Zhongjiu spread his hands, "but I am no longer from Kinmen."
"Wasn't it your eldest brother that day?"
"It used to be," Li Zhongjiu shook his head.
Seeing Li Zhongjiu's calm expression, Jin Xixun was actually a little surprised, "What if I say it was Li You who did it?"
Li Zhongjiu raised his head suddenly, his eyes widened suddenly, and there seemed to be a flash of disbelief and deep pain in them.
Then he lowered his head and clenched his fists. Just when Kim Seok-hoon was about to speak again, Lee Jong-gu suddenly laughed.
He raised his head, his eyes showed no negative emotions, but a bit of amusement, "Did I act like it?"
Li Zhongjiu looked at him with a smile, "Do you think I should have this expression?"
Seeing Jin Xixun's somewhat rapid breathing, he looked at her with some complicated emotions, "You don't know Li You at all."
"If he had done it, there wouldn't be anyone alive at the scene."
"And my good brother." Li Zhongjiu mentioned Shi Dongchu and paused, "Li You will take over the Kinmen Group and help him get revenge. Then those who want to kill him will not be able to escape."
"Isn't that right? Prosecutor Nim?"
Li Zhongjiu wanted to laugh. He looked at Jin Xixun and asked, "May I ask you who you are following?"
Jin Xixun looked at him expressionlessly, stood up and left on his own, and met the warden who had hurried back in the corridor.
The warden was still in casual clothes, and it was obvious that he had just returned from home. "Prosecutor Nim! It's so late... I didn't know you were coming. I'm really sorry for not hosting you well."
Jin Xixun snorted coldly, nodded slightly, and walked out of the door.
In prison, Li Zhongjiu watched Jin Xixun leave with some dissatisfaction, and he gave a somewhat sarcastic smile.
You really think I'm an idiot.
Even at this time, they still want to use him as a knife. These big shots that Shi Dongchu aspires to become are just like this.
Do these people really think that Li You is staying out of the matter because he didn’t care about Shi Dong’s recent car accident?
Li Zhongjiu thought he knew Li You's style of doing things very well. He was a guy who stood in the clouds and liked to watch his opponents perform monkey tricks.
Brothers are united, Li Zhongjiu's eyes wander, and finally he shook his head in disappointment, Shi Dongchu and he had a falling out some time ago.
After leaving the prison gate, Kim Seok-hoon dialed a number, "Congressman nim."
"How's it going?"
"It seems that there is no way to intensify the conflict between Li Zhongjiu and Li You through Shi Dongchu."
Jin Xixun sighed, "After spending some time in prison, Li Zhongjiu has calmed down a lot. He is no longer the person who gets excited when provoked."
"Forget it then. We were only entrusted by someone. Since there is nothing we can do, we will just refuse."
Jin Xixun nodded, "Member Nim, how do we explain this to Chairman Jin?"
"He contacted you specifically to ask you to target the Golden Gate Group. Would this make it difficult for you to explain yourself?"
"This matter is easy to explain, it's no big deal," the congressman said calmly, "Chairman Jin of Tianxia Group wants to target Kinmen Group only because Li You of Kinmen Group has been making too much noise recently."
"In fact, it's not just President Jin. There are many people who are also eyeing the Kinmen Group. It's just that the Kinmen Group has the protection of "The Crucible" during this period, so Li You dared to make such a big move."
"President Jin didn't want to let the Jinmen Group develop into a large group, so he contacted me."
"When the recent storms pass, Seoul will still be quiet and there won't be any big storms."
"I understand." Jin Xixun hesitated for a moment, but still asked, "Then who do you think wants to kill Shi Dongchu?"
"Li You or the people around him," the congressman said calmly, "no one wants to offend the Kinmen Group at this time, so I think this is the case."
Jin Xixun frowned slightly after hearing his words, "Do you think Li You knew about this?"
"I think he knows," the congressman laughed twice on the other end of the phone. "Li You is a smart man. Even if he didn't do it, he can guess it quickly."
"Anyway, there are many people who want to use this incident to stir up trouble in Kinmen. We should not be the first to try it."
In the Zhengxinzhai of the Shunyang Chen family, Chen Rongji looked coldly at Chen Dongji who was sitting opposite him, "Are you just going to let Li You grow stronger?"
He stared at Chen Dongji and said, "Don't forget what I told you. Mom was probably killed by him and his men."
"Mom?" Chen Dongji sneered, "So what? Someone killed someone with a knife. Are the family members of the murdered person going to curse the knife?"
"Do you want me to tell you the truth?"
Chen Dongji hinted that the person who really wanted to kill his mother Li Biyu was his father Chen Yangzhe.
Chen Rongji's face froze, and he said coldly, "Are we going to let the Kinmen Group develop? You must have forgotten what kind of person Li You is. He is a jackal, and a jackal that has been targeting us since he was a weakling."
Chen Dongji shook his head and laughed. He thought for a while before sighing, "If it were in the past, I might really deal with the Kinmen Group with you first because of what you said, but it's impossible now."
“.”
Seeing that Chen Rongji didn't say anything, he realized that Chen Rongji understood what he meant. "As for the relationship between us and Li You, I am actually closer to him now. What if he lends a helping hand to me in the future?"
"Even if it's a helping hand with ulterior motives, it's still a helping hand."
Chen Rongji lowered his eyes, "When Li You and Shun Yang really have a conflict of interest, will you think so too?"
Chen Dongji shook his head. "In the short term, he will only have a conflict of interest with you."
His eyes became playful, "Don't forget, the most important things under his control are Kinmen Real Estate and Kinmen Trade."
"When my father was alive, you were in charge of Shunyang Real Estate and Shunyang Trade."
Chen Dongji said nonchalantly, "I guess you definitely don't want to provoke Li You now. Did Chairman Zhu of Daying Group tell you that?"
Chen Rongji sneered, "Don't pretend here, I don't believe that President Jin of Tianxia Group didn't mention it to you."
The Daying Group supports Chen Rongji, and the Tianxia Group supports Chen Dongji. They are both waiting for one of them to take power so that they can interfere in Shunyang affairs openly.
"Since we are both the same, there is nothing to talk about."
Chen Dongji curled his lips, and before he stood up and left, he turned his head and warned, "When you go back, take care of Xingjun. What kind of reputation does he have in the upper class circle now?"
Chen Rongji thought of his spoiled son, his face darkened, and he stubbornly retorted, "You might as well find a husband for Yijun when you have time. Twenty-six is not young anymore."
Chen Dongji's heart skipped a beat and he turned away with disdain.
