Chapter 661: Conflict Escalates
As someone who had become Sunyang's son-in-law many years ago, Emperor Cui Chang felt that he might understand Tianxia Group better than Li You.
Kinmen Group wants to acquire Tianxia Airlines legally and compliantly
Emperor Cui Chang just thought it was too fantastic.
"The status of Tianxia Airlines in Tianxia Group," Cui Changdi said, "is the same as that of Daying Ocean in Daying Group."
"But President Li, Tianxia Airlines is much more valuable than Daying Ocean, which is suffering from losses and heavy debts."
"It seems that the information received by His Excellency the President is a little out of date," Li You never fought an unprepared battle. When he said this in front of Emperor Cui Chang, he was naturally well prepared.
According to internal sources, Air China was also hit hard by last year's global financial crisis. Although its operating income exceeded 10 trillion won, its net loss for the year reached 2 trillion won.
The current market value is at its lowest level due to losses and sluggish market.
Tianxia Airlines is the largest airline on the Korean Peninsula, with business covering passenger, cargo and comprehensive transportation. For the Korean Peninsula, it is a company that cannot afford to have any problems, just like Daying Ocean.
The import and export of the Korean Peninsula cannot rely on road transportation, but all depends on sea and air.
It was because the acquisition of Daying Ocean some time ago was too eye-catching that allowed Tianxia Airlines to quietly overcome a major crisis in the outside world.
Emperor Cui Chang paused, and his eyes behind his glasses became focused.
Deep down, he didn't want any problems to arise at World Airlines during his tenure.
The Daeyoung Maritime acquisition case had already caused a huge uproar on the Korean Peninsula. After various national demonstrations and party disputes were involved, the peninsula became even more chaotic.
However, it doesn’t matter whether Emperor Cui Chang is worried or not. Such things will either happen quietly or with a huge uproar.
After all, due to the impact of costs, the loss figure of Tianxia Airlines last year was even more frightening than that of Daying Ocean.
Daying Ocean's trillions of debts and losses are the result of years of accumulation. A loss of 2 trillion in this year is unimaginable for the people of the Korean Peninsula.
Li You proposed this here and never thought of terminating this plan.
Now that Dome Corporation has officially entered the aerospace industry, morale within Tianxia Group is low. If they don't take action now, when will they take action?
Emperor Cui Chang sighed, "Since Chairman Li has made up his mind, there is nothing I can do to stop him."
"But I still hope that the president won't mess up Tianxia Group too much. After all, the mess between Daying Ocean and Daying Group has already hurt our shipping industry. In this period of bad economic conditions, both the people and the country need more stable days."
"I've already said it," Li You shrugged, "As long as the president persuades Jin Jianying to sell Tianxia Airlines, I'll fold the cards in my hand."
"How is that possible?" Cui Changdi smiled bitterly and shook his head. "It is impossible to persuade Jin Jianying to sell Tianxia Airlines. Jin Jianying values Tianxia Airlines far more than other companies."
"Then there is no need for Mr. President to take action," Li You just nodded calmly, "I will do it myself depending on the situation."
"Oh..." Emperor Cui Chang felt a headache after hearing this, but he didn't say anything more.
Originally, he thought that he had gotten enough benefits from Li You this time, and he was asked by Jin Jianying to help mediate. However, who knew that not only was he seen through by Li You, but he was also outmaneuvered by him.
"Forget it." Cui Changdi shook his head, "Let's eat first, President Li, try the specialty of this restaurant."
After dinner, Li You saw off Emperor Cui Chang.
Watching the car carrying the commander-in-chief leave, he shook his head slightly.
It is not that Cui Changdi’s position on Li You’s side has changed, but Cui Changdi’s basic task as the commander-in-chief is to maintain the stability and development of the peninsula.
He could indeed help Li You do a lot of things, but he also didn't want to take a lot of risks.
In the acquisition of World Airlines, Li You still needs to solve all the previous problems by himself, whether it is Zhao Taixie or Jin Jianying.
Li You got into the car whose door had been opened long ago, and said, "Let's go to the prison."
"Prisoner 0326, meeting."
Kim Hee-ah and Kim Sung-jun met Kim Young-jun who was brought to the meeting room.
"You are here?" Jin Yongjun in prison had his head shaved flat, and his previous noble appearance was gone.
In this empty meeting room, he looked coldly at Jin Xiya and Jin Shengjun who came to visit him. After a while, he looked at the secretary and asked, "How is the president now?"
Jin Jianying's secretary quickly stepped forward and said, "The president is much better now, and I hope Young Master Yongjun can rest assured."
"Rest assured?" Jin Yongjun sneered and waved his hand. "Look at me now, can you feel at ease?"
His eyes wandered, looking at Jin Shengjun and then Jin Xiya, and finally stopped at Jin Shengjun, "I think some people feel relieved when I am like this now."
"Please go out and wait for us first," Jin Xiya sent the secretary away in time.
"Okay." The secretary also noticed that the atmosphere was not right. He nodded, looked at his watch, and reminded, "The meeting time is still 25 minutes away. The prison guards have already arranged it. No one will come to disturb you."
After the reminder, he quickly left the meeting room.
"Aren't you going to run the planning office with peace of mind, Jin Xiya?" Jin Yongjun glanced at her with disgust, "What does this mean now?"
“Brother.”
"Don't say that about Xiya," Jin Shengjun was about to speak when he was interrupted by Jin Yongjun.
"Why are you pretending?" Kim Young-jun walked closer to Kim Sung-jun and poked his chest with his hand. Kim Sung-jun stepped back every time he poked him.
"Do you think I don't know that it was you who spread my affairs around the company? And you were the first one to tell Dad about it?"
"You think you can please your father by doing this?"
Kim Young-jun became more and more excited as he spoke, and he even grabbed Kim Sung-jun's suit, causing the buttons to shake.
"Let go of me," Jin Shengjun stopped retreating and instead grabbed Jin Yongjun's wrist.
"Kim Sung-jun!" Kim Young-jun felt the stinky prison uniform on his body, then looked at Kim Sung-jun's custom-made suit sprayed with perfume, and the contrast between the two made him even more furious.
"Brother, calm down..." Jin Xiya pulled the two of them aside, "Someone outside may hear it."
"You want me to look at other people's faces now?" Jin Yongjun didn't even look at her, but continued to stare at Jin Shengjun.
"It seems that you haven't realized your mistake yet." Jin Shengjun calmed down when he saw Jin Xiya rushing over. "I forgot to tell you that Dad specifically told us to come here this time and told us to tell you to reflect on your mistakes in there."
"And what did I say in the company?" Jin Shengjun laughed, "Promoting your business?"
"Everyone will know about your affairs sooner or later. Instead of listening to rumors and distorted facts from outside, it is better to leak the news from within. This will also be more beneficial to the company."
"Can you let go first?" Jin Xiya pulled the arms of the two men.
Kim Young-jun pushed Kim Sung-jun back and stared at him with a sneer.
"It seems that you have good contact with the directors." Jin Yongjun felt that it would be better to join forces with his half-sister Jin Xiya than to join forces with his biological brother. "Now you can interfere in the affairs of the group."
"But how many people trust you?" Jin Yongjun raised his hand and pointed at his chest. "After you sold nearly half of Tianxia Energy's assets to the Kinmen Group? How much trust can a traitor from the chairman's family gain?"
"That was Dad's idea," Jin Shengjun's face darkened, "It was an exchange."
"Why can't I contact shareholders now?" Jin Shengjun asked back: "You are in such a bad state now. I am 'forced' to work hard for the company. Why do you stop me?"
Jin Yongjun's back teeth were almost broken in an instant.
"It's obviously my fault. You're in jail now. Do you know how much the stock price has dropped now?"
"What?" Jin Yongjun gasped.
"And you think you have the right to say these things?" Jin Shengjun added insult to injury, mocking his elder brother who had oppressed him for more than 20 years. "You have never achieved anything, and you have only created risks for the company."
"Kim Sung-jun, you bastard..." Kim Yong-jun was about to step forward again but was stopped by Kim Hee-ya.
Just then, Jin Xiya's cell phone rang, and Jin Yongjun stopped what he was doing.
Jin Xiya took out her cell phone and answered the call, "Dad"
Hearing Kim Hee-ya's name, Kim Young-jun and Kim Sung-jun both calmed down a bit.
"Did you see Yongjun?"
"Yes, I'm meeting with my eldest brother," Jin Xiya nodded.
"Give him the phone," Jin Jianying's voice showed no emotion.
Jin Xiya glanced at Jin Yongjun and said, "Okay"
She handed the phone to Jin Yongjun, "Dad wants to talk to you."
After taking the phone from Kim Hee-ya and just listening to Kim Jae-young's words, Kim Yong-jun's face almost distorted.
"You reflect on your mistakes in prison," Jin Jianying said coldly, "The matter between the Kinmen Group and the Tianxia Group is not over yet, so you can't get out for the time being."
"Think about what you should do inside, and also think about what you shouldn't do in the future."
He sat back with his head lowered, listening to Jin Jianying's scolding, his heart filled with anger.
The eldest son of a chaebol who had lived a life of luxury and had never suffered any hardship, even though he received some care in prison, still felt that this was not a place for human beings.
The prison uniforms I wear are full of stench every time I change them every day, not to mention the various bad habits of the inmates I meet.
"Give the phone to Xiya."
Kim Young-jun handed the phone back to Kim Hee-ya as if he was handing over a hot potato.
"Don't waste your time arguing with your big brother," Jin Jianying warned Jin Xiya, "Follow the normal procedures. The majority of criminals in the prison are those under Li You's command. Don't let them catch you."
"Good dad."
The meeting between the three siblings was not pleasant.
Before Kim Sung-jun and Kim Hee-ya left, Kim Yong-jun specifically called out to Kim Hee-ya.
"You said before that you have no interest in business, is that true?"
"I'm a little interested now." Jin Xiya said seriously, "I want to help my father and help Tianxia Group overcome the difficulties."
"Then Jin Xiya." He said with a strange look on his face, "You must do a good job as the director of the business planning department."
"Before, you studied hard and no one cared about you," Jin Yongjun glanced at Jin Shengjun beside her with sarcasm, "Now that you are in this position, there will be a poisonous snake waiting to bite you anytime and anywhere."
"Be careful," Jin Yongjun smiled maliciously.
Kim Hee-ah was smart enough to understand what was said, and the 'venomous snake' that Kim Young-jun was referring to was of course Kim Sung-jun next to him.
But even with Kim Hee-ya's emotional intelligence, she didn't know how to respond to Kim Young-jun now.
However, Jin Yongjun did not stay in the meeting room after he finished speaking. He left from another prisoner entrance, leaving only two people looking at his back.
"Xi Ya," Kim Sung-jun called Kim Xi Ya.
Jin Xiya turned her head and saw the harmonious smile on her second brother Jin Shengjun's face, and she shuddered in her heart.
"Don't take this crazy guy's words to heart, let's go back and see Dad first," Jin Shengjun patted Jin Xiya's back, "Dad's medication treatment today should not be completed yet, and he still needs you and mom to take good care of him."
"Um"
When Jin Yongjun left the meeting room, he was not as calm as he had just shown. Instead, he became angrier and angrier, and even shouted, "Ah!!"
He stopped while roaring and kicked the iron door of the cell he was passing by.
"Prisoner 0326!" The guard patted him on the back and pushed him forward, "Move forward!"
Jin Yongjun was not taken care of in the first few days after entering prison, and he was already feeling very uncomfortable being "taken care of" by his fellow inmates and guards.
Things are much better now. At least he doesn't eat leftovers, and he isn't often kicked around like a street rat. The warden has also met him in person and said he will make his life more comfortable in prison, but Jin Yongjun still thinks these people are weird.
As they walked, Jin Yongjun realized something was wrong, "Where are we going?"
"The warden wants to see you," the prison guard said expressionlessly, pushing him again, "go faster."
"Why?"
The prison guard stopped talking. Jin Yongjun felt embarrassed and continued to move forward as he wished.
After entering the warden's office, Jin Yongjun suddenly took a step back and his back hit the prison guard behind him.
"Now that you are here," the warden's eyes narrowed into slits, and he stood up, "I will not disturb you two anymore."
The warden took the prison guards out of his office and left the place to the rest of the people.
Jin Yongjun felt a little timid when looking at Li You's back sitting on the leather sofa.
"Come and sit down," Li You turned around and greeted him, "We are not that far apart in age, so there's no need to be too formal."
Jin Yongjun nodded hesitantly, slowly moved to the opposite side of Li You, and sat down from the position where the warden had just sat. "What is it that President Li wants to talk to me about?"
"Don't worry," Li You looked Jin Yongjun up and down, "Mr. Jin has been in prison for quite a few days. Are you used to it?"
The person who sent himself to prison asks himself whether he can adapt to prison life
Faced with this strange scene, Jin Yongjun couldn't get angry.
He remained silent, not knowing how to respond.
