Chapter 30 Family Meeting
After hearing Zhang Junfeng's somewhat outrageous answer, Li Zairong couldn't help but frown and questioned, "Raise the price and let the other two companies take over?! What about our Five Star Group? Whether it is Five Star Commodities, Five Star Automobile or other industries, the demand for steel is not a small amount!"
"If we can't get enough steel, many of the group's subsidiaries will be forced to stop production, and we will face losses of tens of millions of won every day. Can you afford this?!"
…
Although Li Jianxi was somewhat dissatisfied with Li Zairong's serious questioning, he did not speak up to stop him. After all, if this problem is not solved, it would not make much sense even if the acquisition price of Hanbao Steel is raised!
Zhang Junfeng was not embarrassed at all when he saw this. Instead, he smiled mysteriously and continued, "Besides Hanbao Steel, there should be other domestic steel production companies in the same industry, right? For example...Posco Iron and Steel Group?"
"Even if Posco is unwilling to cooperate with us, we can also choose partners from other places? For example, the steel companies in the neighboring Longguo!"
(Note: POSCO was established in 1968 and is one of the world's largest steel manufacturers and one of the top ten conglomerates in Korea.) …
Zhang Junfeng's simple words immediately surprised everyone present. Posco? A steel company from Dragon Country?!
They were previously entangled in the gains and losses of Hanbao Steel, not realizing that they were all attracted by what was happening before their eyes and hindered their own vision and thinking. If they stepped out of the incident and looked at the matter from the perspective of an outsider, they would realize that there are far more companies than just Hanbao Steel that can provide the steel needed for production!
Li Jianxi stared at Zhang Junfeng with a complicated expression for several seconds, then burst into laughter, and the laughter gradually stopped after a while.
"Junfeng's suggestion is indeed good! Our previous thinking was indeed narrow! In addition to Hanbao Steel, we can indeed obtain the steel needed for production from other places!"
Hearing that his father also agreed with Zhang Junfeng's proposal, Li Zairong said unwillingly, "Posco Steel has never had any business dealings with our Five Star Group. If we rashly ask for cooperation with them, we may be led by the nose by them! In addition, we are not familiar with the companies in Longguo..."
Zhang Junfeng glanced at his cheap brother-in-law with some suspicion, thinking to himself, "Li Zairong's attitude clearly shows that he is deliberately looking for trouble! But I don't have any conflicts with him, so why is he targeting me like this?"
"... Could it be that he thinks that Li Fuzhen and I might affect his position in the Five Star Group?"
Thinking of this, Zhang Junfeng couldn't help but sneer in his heart! In the eyes of others, the Five Star Group is an unattainable large enterprise, but in the eyes of Zhang Junfeng, who knows the actual financial situation of the Five Star, the Five Star Group at this moment is more like a piece of inferior armor with a luxurious appearance and a weak and vulnerable interior. It can only be used for appreciation and not for actual combat! It's just that Li Zai Rong is so eager to make trouble for him. If he doesn't express it, wouldn't it seem that he has no temper? Zhang Junfeng smiled and said, "It seems that Zai Rong still prefers to use money to solve problems. Spending more money to do less things is also in line with the style of doing things of large enterprises!"
"However, based on the current financial resources of the Five Star Group, I think they should be able to spend hundreds of billions or even trillions of won to acquire Hanbao Steel, which may be insolvent, right?"
After hearing Zhang Junfeng's somewhat sarcastic remarks, the people present were silent! If they really spent so much money to acquire Hanbao Steel as he said, they would not be a tyrannical chaebol, but a pure sucker!
Even Li Zairong, who was always very cunning, was choked by Zhang Junfeng's words, and there was a bit more hostility in his eyes when he looked at the other party.
Li Jianxi glanced at his eldest son with some disappointment, then looked at his daughter and future son-in-law, and slowly said, "There is no need to say more about the company's current financial situation. The cost of forcibly acquiring Hanbao Steel is too high, and the loss will outweigh the gain!"
"Zai Rong, go contact Pohang Iron and Steel and see if there is any possibility of cooperation!"
Hearing that his father Li Jianxi finally chose Zhang Junfeng's proposal, he had no choice but to agree despite being unwilling.
After all, it was no big deal that there were different opinions on how to deal with the Hanbao Steel incident. But once the order of Chairman Li Jianxi was not carried out, the meaning would be completely different!
Li Zairong was very clear about this. For him, who wanted to successfully inherit the family business, outstanding ability was secondary, and filial piety was the most important thing.
You should know that the reason why Li Jianxi was able to successfully become the second-generation chairman of the Five Star Group was all thanks to the actions of his two rebellious brothers, who passively promoted him to the position of chairman! The two daring brothers wanted to "seize the position" and even sent their grandfather Li Bingzhe to prison. In the end, they were directly killed by Li Bingzhe, who had more sophisticated means, and severely punished.
Li Zairong always kept this "lesson from the past" in mind and often reminded himself that he must not make similar stupid mistakes again!
…
By the time this sudden "family meeting" ended, it was already 9 o'clock in the evening. Under Hong Luoxi's arrangement, Zhang Junfeng had to stay in Li Fuzhen's room for the night.
However, Zhang Junfeng looked at the warm-toned layout and furnishings in the room, sat directly beside the bed, looked at Li Fuzhen who looked a little nervous, and laughed and teased, "I didn't expect that the eldest lady's room would be like this, it surprised me a little!"
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Li Fuzhen ignored Zhang Junfeng's teasing and warned him nervously, "Although mom asked you to stay in my room, you must not push your luck! Tonight you sleep on the floor and I sleep on the bed!"
"If you dare to cross the line..., I...I will definitely have someone give you a good beating!"
Seeing Li Fuzhen's bluffing, Zhang Junfeng laughed even more happily, "But if someone comes in without knocking and sees me sleeping on the floor, won't it be exposed? You don't want our secret to be discovered by others, do you?"
"...I don't care, you just have to sleep on the floor tonight!" Li Fuzhen felt inexplicably panicked when she thought that Zhang Junfeng, this guy who loved to take advantage of others, might attack her at night.
Although she had anticipated that something like this might happen, she never expected it to happen so suddenly. She was not ready yet! (End of this chapter)
