Chapter 257 The Man Behind
The next morning, sunlight shone through the floor-to-ceiling windows and filled the entire president's office.
The golden sunlight contrasted with the dark solid wood desk. Li You sat on the wide office chair with a slightly frown on his face, while Chen Daojun sat opposite him with a straight posture, staring at Li You intently.
Li Youmo sat next to Li You, wearing a professional suit, looking like a secretary in good shape.
She busied herself with the exquisite tea set, her movements skillful and graceful, and the sound of water was particularly clear in the quiet room.
The fragrance of tea gradually spread, interweaving with the faint woody scent in the room.
Today, on the surface, Lee You is already considered one of the most outstanding entrepreneurs on the Korean Peninsula, and has established good and close relationships with departments at all levels. All he needs to do is maintain this relationship and gradually consolidate people's perception of Lee You, so that his image as a gentle and outstanding entrepreneur can take root in people's hearts.
As for Chen Daojun, he will undoubtedly use this method, and his power will naturally increase over time.
He has been in the office for a while, and Li You has also mentioned some plans, such as preparing to integrate underground forces in cities such as Gyeonggi Province.
Chen Daojun sighed. No matter how much he suppressed this matter, it would make Li You think about it. After this, he was afraid that he would not have much time to develop peacefully.
He didn't continue talking about this matter. After all, Li You should have made up his mind.
He picked up the contract on the desk and pushed it in front of Li You. "According to the instructions of Chairman Nim, we have taken over several technology companies registered in the United States."
Chen Daojun was somewhat emotional. "I have been there many times, but this is the first time I have seen Americans so easy to talk to. It is really surprising."
Li You laughed, "No one can resist money. Their technologies may be very advanced, but without money, those technologies are useless."
"Are you acquiring those technology companies also for the purpose of manufacturing new mobile phones?" Li Youmo said as he gently held the covered bowl and poured tea.
"More than that," Li You took the tea she poured and pushed over, "These technologies are extremely important in the future, but they are still very cheap now."
Li Youmo smiled slightly. He was already used to Li You's way of speaking. "You always talk about the future, as if you were someone who came back from the future."
Li You raised his eyebrows, "This is called foresight."
In fact, Li You was not clear about the specific high-tech technologies, because the only impression he had in his previous life was the FingerWorks company he had purchased before.
As for the contracts that Chen Daojun had just handed him, Li You told Chen Daojun according to the functions of the mobile phone in his memory. Chen Daojun then mobilized the people of Future Electronics to start selecting suitable ones from the many patents, and then find the company that owns the patent.
Li You took a sip of tea and said, "You have learned tea art well."
"It seems that my elective course was not in vain," Li Youmo winked at him, "You can find a beautiful female secretary to help you do this kind of thing full-time."
"Secretary An is a man after all."
Li You shook his head, "That's not necessary."
Li Youmo glanced at him and said, "I can be your secretary."
"After you graduate, you can come and work as an assistant secretary. You don't need to go out on field trips," Li You arranged without hesitation. "You can be transferred to another place later."
"." Seeing that he couldn't get a word in, Chen Daojun was speechless, "How about I be your secretary?"
"You can't do that," Li You casually threw the contract back to him, "You are a director of the Golden Gate Group and an executive of Future Electronics. Future Electronics also needs you to be fully responsible. If you become a secretary, who will manage Future Electronics?"
Seeing Li You smiling and educating him seriously, Chen Daojun was choked and said, "Anyway, I'm just here to report. I have completed all the tasks assigned by the president."
Li You pointed to the tea in front of him and said, "Finish your tea before you leave."
Chen Daojun said helplessly, "Okay."
He hesitated and said, "Do you have a plan for the next step?"
Li You took a sip of tea slowly and said calmly, "Some time ago, the Seoul City Government helped me to become an outstanding young entrepreneur in Seoul, and later I used the melting pot to spread my reputation."
"From now on, the Kinmen Group will no longer need to hide what it does. Someone will naturally come up with excuses for us."
Just at this moment An Shangjiu knocked on the door and hurried in.
Li You glanced at him and asked, "What's the matter?"
"President Nim, there is news about the situation over there with Choi Moo-jin."
Li You raised his eyebrows, "Don't worry, wait a moment."
He looked at Chen Daojun and said, "In short, for the technologies I mentioned, you should carefully look for patents around the world and acquire companies with suitable prices."
As he was talking, Li You also reminded him, "After the acquisition is completed, for those who cooperate more, we will follow the previous model, provide money to purchase patents, and let them continue to research new technologies."
"Retain those talents, keep confidentiality when developing new technologies, and remember to give R&D personnel a new contract with higher salaries."
Li Youmo and Chen Daojun were both shocked. Li You attached great importance to these things.
After Chen Daojun finished his tea and left, Li Youmo glanced at An Shangjiu and stood up, "I have classes in the afternoon, so I'll go back first."
"Okay," Li You nodded gently, "Let the driver give you a ride."
Li You and An Shangjiu were the only ones left in the office. Li You then told An Shangjiu, "Tell me, what's going on?"
"Choi Mu-jin's gang is very dangerous, Chairman Nim," An Sang-gu frowned and slowly reported the situation to Lee Woo, "They are the only ones among these forces that sell drugs, and they were targeted by the police a few months ago, and the second-in-command Yin Jinghao was issued a wanted warrant."
"Did Dou Ri find out about this?"
"Yes," An Shangjiu nodded, "I've also notified the police department and have temporarily cancelled the public wanted notice."
"President Nim," An Sang-jiu said puzzledly, "Cui Wuzhen seems a little strange no matter how you look at him."
"Don't worry. This person is definitely problematic, but we don't need to pay too much attention to him. We just need to keep an eye on him and don't let him cause any trouble," Li You said leisurely. "Also, let Dou Ri tell him not to touch drugs."
An Shangjiu lowered his head solemnly. This was not just a simple reminder.
Although Li You was being polite, anyone who takes this seriously would be really ignorant.
"Although Choi Moo-jin has problems, he is undoubtedly a smart man," An Sang-gu nodded, "He will understand what Chairman-nim means."
"Also, let Dou Ri continue to pay attention to him. And Yin Jinghao. Does he have a daughter?"
Hearing Li You's question, An Sangjiu looked up and answered, "He has a daughter named Yin Zhiyou, who is 18 years old and in her third year of high school."
After a moment's hesitation, An Sang-gu added, "I heard that Yoon Ji-woo suffered a lot of discrimination at school."
"To be honest," Li You smiled, "this is the first time I've seen the daughter of a gang's second-in-command being discriminated against. Remember to pay attention to her too. I doubt that Yoon Kyung-ho's death is the end."
Li You said meaningfully, "Control her if necessary and see how Choi Moo Jin reacts."
"clear."
"As for those other forces, are there any people who want to discuss alliance matters with you now?"
"There are already a few," An Shangjiu said, "but they just expressed their intention to form an alliance, and also tried to ask about future treatment in a roundabout way."
Li You nodded, "This is normal."
He sipped his tea and said calmly, "These so-called big guys are actually just local tyrants in small cities like Gyeonggi Province. Even if they form an alliance, they are only after money."
"Let's not talk about now, let's talk about the future. If they really say they are loyal to the Kinmen Group, it's just a joke. Since they asked, we just need to use the most brutal and simple means to let these people know that they can make a lot of money by following our Kinmen Group. They will naturally know who to listen to."
"Tell me what you think," Li You sat there calmly in the office, looking at An Shangjiu in front of him, "What do you think of these people?"
"I'm a little worried about other people's interference," An Shangjiu said earnestly, "Some of these people are the black gloves of the 'big shots' in the city. Even if they unite, they may be clamped down by all parties."
"Have a cup of tea first," Li You smiled and poured a cup of tea for An Shangjiu, "Didn't I say that we are an alliance? Although the Kinmen Group must be the leader of the alliance, I didn't express that they are my subordinates."
"We are allies with them."
An Shangjiu took the teacup respectfully and drank it all before he could savor it. He seemed to have grasped the key point of Li You's words and repeated, "Ally?"
Many of these so-called "big guys" have people above them, but they are far inferior to the officials that Li You has allied with.
But they can also play a vital role in their respective cities, which is why Li You wants to establish an alliance.
Li You and the Kinmen Group represent not only themselves, but also Li You's "friends".
These friends include various officials and businessmen. The people behind the "big guys" who have been summoned will not refuse to form an alliance with these officials and businessmen.
In such a situation, the chances of Li Youcheng succeeding are too high.
Maybe someone is already anxious and is eager to make an alliance.
The people attending the meeting didn’t understand, but these positive characters must have understood that by operating around the Kinmen Group, they could really share interests and reap greater benefits.
The people who can flourish the most under the leadership of the Kinmen Group and Li You are actually these relatively positive characters, and they can obtain far more benefits than before.
It’s just that Li You knows their situation very well, but they don’t know what Li You can do.
An Shangjiu was stunned for a while, and finally figured it out. He bowed deeply to Li You, "I understand, President Nim."
Li You smiled, narrowed his eyes, and whispered, "You have been my secretary for a while. It's time to consider letting you go out and do something big."
An Sang-Jiu looked at Li You blankly, "Chairman Nim"
"Don't think too much," Li You said with a smile when he saw An Shangjiu understood, "You are quite capable, but being a secretary is a waste of your talent."
"Like Yoon Hyunwoo, you still need a better position to maximize your abilities."
An Shangjiu finally felt relieved. Li You waved his hand, signaling that An Shangjiu could leave. "Also, give some sweet treats to the others. You can arrange it."
Li You asked An Shangjiu to conduct a round, which was the most brutal but also the most effective way to win people's hearts.
An Shangjiu nodded and left to start the next stage of preparations.
Li You didn't expect that Choi Wuzhen, who said he would visit him, would rush to Seoul that afternoon to visit Li You. Fortunately, Choi Doo-il gave him the news in time, and he knew about it in advance.
Amidst the tall buildings and busy traffic, Choi Woo-jin, wearing a dark windbreaker, got out of an ordinary car.
He arrived in front of the Golden Gate Building and looked up. The glass curtain wall reflected the dazzling sunlight, like an insurmountable threshold.
Cui Wuzhen looked at the Kinmen logo expressionlessly, took a deep breath and stepped into the hall.
The reception hall of the building is spacious, bright and magnificent. It is indeed completely different from their gang’s lair in the countryside. The Kinmen Group is clearly a large and legitimate enterprise.
His arrival was probably like a small boat entering a rough sea in Li You's eyes.
Cui Wuzhen did not meet Li You directly, but was arranged to sit quietly in the waiting area of the hall. He sat there motionless and did not show any irritation.
It was not until An Shangjiu came down from upstairs that he led him into the president's office.
Cui Wuzhen looked around the place calmly. The decoration was indeed very grand, with famous paintings and calligraphy hanging on the walls.
Thanks to the fact that Li You had been in the newspaper, Choi Wuzhen recognized the young man sitting behind a large desk as Li You.
Li Youzheng studied him expressionlessly.
Cui Wuzhen lowered his head and said in a steady voice, "Chairman Li, I am Cui Wuzhen, and I am here to apologize to you. I hope there will be another opportunity to work with you."
Li You raised his eyebrows and nodded slightly, his voice calm and majestic, "Please sit down."
Choi Moo-jin was very smart. He expressed his intention to cooperate in his apology and made his attitude clear.
"President Cui, what's going on with you guys now?" Li You asked with concern, "I heard that you regard him as a brother."
Cui Wuzhen sat stiffly in his seat, a trace of sadness on his face, his eyes staring at the table, "Jinghao is the brother I trust and rely on the most. He was killed, and I must take revenge."
Li You sighed helplessly, "We in Kinmen can help you investigate, but you have to become an ally with us."
Cui Wuzhen raised his eyelids, "We. become allies of President Nim?"
"Not only that, as an ally, our Kinmen Group can provide various assistance," Li You said calmly, "but the Kinmen Group is the leader, and this matter is not up for discussion."
Cui Wuzhen frowned and thought for a while, "Of course, we are not qualified to be ahead of Jinmen Group and you."
Li You seemed to be very sensible. He slowly began to smile, but his tone was still serious. "I heard that your people are still selling powder?"
"." Cui Wuzhen heard Li You's displeasure and remained silent for a while.
And Li You just looked at him quietly.
After several minutes, Cui Wuzhen sighed and said, "We are forced to do this. Without this money, we can't support our people."
"Can't support them?" Li You raised his eyebrows. "President Cui seems to have a lot of people."
"It's still incomparable to the Kinmen Group," Cui Wuzhen said with a wry smile, "I opened a training camp specifically for recruiting outstanding talents, but I didn't know that I couldn't afford to support so many people."
Li You narrowed his eyes, "I didn't realize that President Cui and I are somewhat similar. Before the merger, I also set up a training camp."
"It's a pity that I didn't know President Cui before."
Cui Wuzhen's heart stagnated, as there was something else behind Li You's words.
"My main purpose of recruiting you is not only for you, but also for the outstanding talents that may emerge under your command," Li You smiled, "President Cui's training camp has saved me a lot of trouble."
"." Cui Wuzhen glanced at Li You subconsciously, "My training camp..."
Li You shook his head slightly, "President Cui, there is no need to be humble."
Cui Wuzhen understood, he lowered his head slightly and waited for Li You to continue speaking.
"Can you tell me where you source your white powder?"
Li You looked at Choi Moo-jin, who had a beard in front of him, and asked, "Where in Southeast Asia is it?"
Cui Wuzhen hesitated for a while, and then he said, "Japan," thinking that Li You would not look down on this kind of business.
"Japan?" Li You narrowed his eyes. "What's it called?"
"The Mountain King Meeting."
Li You couldn't help but laugh, "What a coincidence."
Cui Wuzhen looked at him blankly, "President Nim, do you know them?"
"I know him, but I'm not familiar with him," Li You nodded with a smile, "Since we've talked about it, I believe President Cui has a general idea in mind."
Cui Wuzhen heard that this was a way to get rid of him, so he quickly stood up and bowed to Li You to say goodbye, "President Nim, I won't bother you anymore."
Li You made a gesture of invitation, "It's okay, it's enough that you can come today."
Before Cui Wuzhen left, Li You reminded him, "President Cui, remember to be on time tomorrow night."
The entire meeting actually only took about ten minutes from start to finish, but the effect was very good.
With Li You's deliberate spreading, the news spread like wildfire and spread to the shadows of Seoul's underground overnight, and then quickly reached the ears of other local bosses in Gyeonggi Province.
These people were thinking about the choice Cui Wuzhen might make, and they no longer hesitated.
Some people hurriedly looked for the people behind them to see what to do.
