In the following period, almost all the employees of Tianfu Real Estate Company came out in droves and frequently inquired about relevant property management companies and real estate development companies in the Central and Western District, Wan Chai District and Eastern District, which also attracted the attention of many real estate companies in Hong Kong.

Among them was the Hutchison Whampoa Group in Hong Kong. As the head of the group, Li Ka Shing naturally heard the somewhat unusual news from his subordinates.

"...Mr. Li, according to our investigation, the general manager of Tianfu Real Estate Company, Ye Boyang, seems to have come from the north. He is also the big boss of the Hyundai Motor joint venture in the imperial capital. He suddenly came to Hong Kong to open a real estate company this time. There may be something fishy!" The one who gave the reminder was one of the group's senior executives and Li Ka Shing's trusted subordinate - Huo Jianning.

Hearing Huo Jianning say this, Li Zeju on the side was a little disapproving, "Uncle Huo, are you too nervous? Even if that person came from the imperial capital and has a strong power behind him, it doesn't matter to us. This is Hong Kong, not the imperial capital. No matter how powerful this dragon from across the river is, what kind of waves can he stir up?"

"Besides, the real estate industry in Hong Kong is in such a drastic decline right now that anyone who enters the market will be stuck. Which of these companies, Sun Hung Kai, Henderson Land Development, New World Development, and Wheelock Properties, has not suffered heavy losses? If this Tianfu Real Estate Company really takes out real money to acquire it, it might be a good thing for us!"

Seeing that his confidant and his eldest son had completely different ideas, Li Ka Shing, who was sitting in the main seat, thought for a few minutes and decided to wait and see what the other party intended.

If this Tianfu Real Estate Company is really strong enough to take on real estate projects worth billions or even tens of billions, then they might also be able to sell some real estate projects to the other party in exchange for some funds.

As for when the real estate market will pick up, these well-informed big Hong Kong companies have not received any news recently. They can either continue to hold on or try to find buyers, cash out and then leave the market.

Compared with Hutchison Whampoa, which has been watching the situation and not taking any action, the senior executives of Sun Hung Kai, Henderson Land Development, New World Development, Wheelock and other companies are becoming increasingly restless.

The old companies with a large number of businesses in the real estate industry suffered heavy losses in the previous financial crisis. Even two years later, they still haven't recovered. They don't want to go bankrupt before the end of this cold winter.

Many companies sent representatives to contact this "newly arrived" Tianfu Real Estate Company to see if there is any possibility of cooperation between the two parties. If the other party is really sincere about the acquisition, it is not impossible for them to help the other party and give up part of the real estate project!

…

In the office of Comet Capital Chairman in Seoul, Korea.

Zhang Junfeng looked at Ayumi Hamasaki, who hadn't seen him for almost two weeks and had suddenly come to him. He looked at her curiously, but didn't find anything unusual about her. He then asked, "Miss Hamasaki, do you have something important to talk to me about?"

Ayumi Hamasaki looked at Zhang Junfeng for a long time, and then replied reluctantly, "President Zhang, I am going back to Japan. I came here to say goodbye to you. For the previous agreement, I will definitely work hard!"

Hearing that she was going back to Japan, and still thinking about the previous agreement, Zhang Junfeng smiled and said, "It's a good thing to have confidence. I wish Ms. Hamasaki's subsequent albums will sell well and she will become a first-class popular singer~!"

At this point, Zhang Junfeng suddenly remembered some things he had put in the drawer before, and immediately took them out. It turned out that after writing "10 Minutes" for Lee Hyori, Zhang Junfeng was also inspired to ask the music producers of SM Entertainment to take time to help him produce the original lyrics and music manuscripts of some popular god-level songs in the future according to the tunes and lyrics in his memory.

But later on, he was so busy with various things that he just put these things in a drawer and left them gathering dust for a long time.

Zhang Junfeng found the manuscripts of the two songs "My All" and "Dearest" from those manuscripts and took them out separately.

In the face of Ayumi Hamasaki's puzzled gaze, Zhang Junfeng smiled and said, "There is no other preparation. These two song manuscripts can be regarded as gifts before your departure. I hope they can become two stone steps on your way forward."

Looking at the manuscript handed over by Zhang Junfeng, Ayumi Hamasaki was a little confused for a moment. She was familiar with Lee Hyori and others from SM Entertainment, and naturally she had heard that Zhang Junfeng, the high-ranking chairman, had single-handedly led the creation of hit songs such as "10 Minutes" and "Wow" that made fledgling singers Lee Hyori and Lee Jung-hyun famous overnight.

Now the other party took out two song manuscripts and gave them to her at once, which made her feel very complicated for a moment, "President Zhang, are you sure you want to give this to me?"

"If you don't need it, I can take it back. After all, this Japanese song was created on a whim, but later I found out that the girls at SM Entertainment didn't speak Japanese very well, so it's been gathering dust with me for a long time."

"Wait, I didn't say no!" Seeing Zhang Junfeng trying to take the manuscripts of the two songs back, Ayumi Hamasaki quickly accepted them. Are you kidding! Such a "treasure" is in her hands, how can she let Zhang Junfeng take it back? After returning, she will ask the songwriting teacher at Avex Music Company to help take a look. If the quality of these two songs is very high, then she will use them directly! ...

Perhaps it was because of these two "special gifts" that Ayumi Hamasaki's originally depressed mood was swept away.

When leaving Comet Capital, Ayumi Hamasaki, in a good mood, boldly hugged Zhang Junfeng, and then quickly turned around and left before Zhang Junfeng could react.

The assistant who had been waiting outside for a while was also very confused when he saw the smiling face. He was a little depressed when he came here, so why was he so happy after meeting people? His mood changes were too irregular, right? It was not until Ayumi Hamasaki showed off and shared two song manuscripts full of lyrics and tunes to the assistant like treasures that the assistant suddenly realized. It turned out that she got this "benefit" from President Zhang, no wonder!

…

On Saturday morning, Zhang Junfeng said hello to Li Fuzhen and went out to meet Zheng Mengjiu who had agreed to meet him early in the morning. Today they will visit the former president of Hyundai Construction, Li Mingbo, who has become a member of parliament.

When Zhang Junfeng and Zheng Mengjiu came to an ordinary Korean house in Bukchon, Seoul, Zheng Mengjiu couldn't help but frowned. Just from the place where the other party lived, it could be seen that Li Mingbo's current situation was not very good.

The tourism projects here have not been fully developed yet, and there is no later bustle and prosperity. Many houses now look a bit shabby and lonely, which is completely different from the prosperity and high-rise buildings in Jiangnan District.

"Let's go and meet Congressman Li. We hope he can stand on the same side as us and become our helper~!" Zhang Junfeng saw that Zheng Mengjiu was a little distracted, so he patted him on the shoulder and reminded him.

…

When Zhang Junfeng and Zheng Mengjiu arrived at the Korean house where Li Mingbo lived, they happened to meet Li Mingbo who was doing farm work and growing fruits and vegetables in the yard, which surprised the two visitors.

Even though he had left Hyundai Construction for a while, he shouldn't be living such a miserable life, right? When Li Mingbo finished his work and was about to take a break, he suddenly saw Zhang Junfeng and the familiar Zheng Mengjiu standing not far away.

In particular, Chung Mong-koo was very optimistic about Chung Mong-koo, the second son of Chung Ju-yung, the most capable member of the second generation of the Chung family in Hyundai Group. However, for some unknown reason, Chung Ju-yung eventually handed over Hyundai Group to Chung Mong-sun, the fifth son with relatively mediocre ability.

"...I'm sorry to have embarrassed you two guests." Li Mingbo smiled awkwardly, as if he was ashamed of his previous behavior and rudeness.

Zhang Junfeng replied with a smile, "Mr. Mingbo, you are too polite. Chairman Meng Jiu and I came here this time because we have something to discuss with Mr. Mingbo. It is us who disturbed Mr. Mingbo."

…

"I think Mr. Mingbo should have heard about the recent news. Hyundai Kia Automotive Group, led by Chairman Chung Mong-koo, has successfully acquired many subsidiaries of Hyundai Group. He will also establish a new Hyundai Group in the future to restore the former glory of Hyundai Group."

"...Mr. Mingbo, I would like to invite you to come out again and become a senior executive of the new Hyundai Group. Whether it is the president of Hyundai Construction or other companies, or even the position of vice chairman of the group headquarters, as long as you ask for it~!" Zheng Mengjiu glanced at Zhang Junfeng on the side, and saw Zhang Junfeng nodded slightly, and then he spoke out the words that he had discussed with the other party before, with sincerity.

When Li Mingbo heard that Zheng Mengjiu actually took the initiative to invite him to join the new Hyundai Group and promised to give him a very high position, he was stunned.

After a while, Li Mingbo finally smiled in relief, and then said with mixed feelings, "Thank you for the invitation, President Meng Jiu~! It's just that the road of life is always moving forward. The days when I worked in Hyundai Group were very fulfilling and happy. But now I have left Hyundai Construction for many years, and the company's business philosophy and methods have lagged behind. I guess I can't be competent for these important positions~!"

Hearing Li Mingbo's tactful refusal, Zheng Mengjiu's face froze. When he was about to say something, Zhang Junfeng on the side stopped him with his eyes.

"I think President Meng Jiu can understand Mr. Mingbo's concerns. But I think an elder with outstanding abilities like Mr. Mingbo should stand on a higher stage to show his strengths."

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Since the other party is unwilling to return to Hyundai Construction to help Chung Mong-koo, they might as well go with the flow and cooperate with the other party according to the original plan and support him to a higher position. This will also allow them to gain more benefits, so why not do it?

…

This time, Li Mingbo did not rush to make a decision. Instead, he looked deeply at Zhang Junfeng, the young and handsome boss of Comet Capital, and felt a sense of emotion in his heart. If he had not received the news in advance before the two came, he would never have thought that such a young man could make Chung Mong-koo, the chairman of Hyundai Kia Automotive Group, polite.

He could feel that in the conversation between the three of them, the one who truly held the right to speak and the initiative was not Chairman Zheng Mengjiu, but the young man Zhang Junfeng!

"It seems that Zhang Junfeng, the chairman of Comet Capital, is more powerful than I thought~!" Li Mingbo sighed in his heart, but showed a curious look on the surface, "Then according to Chairman Zhang's meaning, can I still get a promotion?"

In recent years, due to the lack of support from the forces behind him, Lee Myung-bak's career development has been slow. After joining the New Korea Party in 1995, there has been no other progress. Except for the addition of an identity as a party worker, there is almost no change from his previous work as a legislator.

"...That depends on Mr. Mingbo's ideas. With the resources that Chairman Meng Jiu and I have, it shouldn't be a big problem for us to help Mr. Mingbo run for the mayor's seat in Seoul, Goryeo, in the 2002 election. As for whether Mr. Mingbo can challenge the throne of the Grand Commander after his term as mayor of Seoul, we can't guarantee it..."

Zhang Junfeng's few words immediately captured Li Mingbo's heart. The reason why he gave up his position as the company's president and resolutely stepped into the official career was not only to repay the old chairman Chung Ju-yung's support, but also to fulfill his dream, which was to show his strengths on a bigger stage and realize his ambitions.

In his opinion, whether it is running a business or running a country, as long as the right approach is taken, more people like him who come from poor backgrounds can live a better life and bring hope to more people.

Of course, during his years in the Korean Party, he also deeply realized a key point, that is, whether in politics or business, simply relying on one's own abilities to achieve results in order to be promoted would not produce significant results.

Only with the full support of "noble people" and outstanding achievements, can he get everything he wants in a short period of time. And he did not refuse Zhang Junfeng's gesture of goodwill.

…

In the end, the negotiation between the three ended with friendly laughter. Although Li Mingbo asked the two about their views on Hyundai Group and Chairman Chung Mong-sun, Chung Mong-koo was a little unhappy, but he still expressed his opinion according to Zhang Junfeng's previous remarks.

No matter how bad his relationship with Zheng Mengxian was, they were brothers. As the elder brother, he had already carved out a new world and taken back everything that belonged to him. As long as Zheng Mengxian didn't provoke him, he wouldn't cause trouble for him again.

Hearing what Zheng Mengjiu said, Li Mingbo nodded as if relieved. He was also quite satisfied with Zheng Mengjiu's answer and statement.

Although Chung Mong-sun's management ability is indeed poor, and even the Hyundai Group is gradually declining in the hands of the other party, the other party is after all the successor named by the old chairman Chung Ju-yung. If there is a chance to mediate, it can be regarded as an explanation to the old chairman Chung Ju-yung.

…

After leaving Li Mingbo's residence, Zheng Mengjiu asked Zhang Junfeng in confusion, "Does the matter of Hyundai Group really need to be reconciled with Zheng Mengxian as we just said?"

Zhang Junfeng looked at Zheng Mengjiu in surprise, then smiled calmly, "I never said that. If President Mengjiu is willing to do so, I will naturally not object."

"Sometimes, we don't need to do anything, some people will take the initiative to find us and do it for us. We just need to stand by and watch~!"

Zhang Junfeng clearly remembered that three years later, the prosecutors, under the instruction of someone, launched various investigations into the former president. Hyundai Group and Chung Mong-sun, who had received help from the Blue House, were naturally not spared. Chung Mong-sun, who could not bear the pressure, chose to commit suicide to get rid of it.

Zhang Junfeng's answer, which was a bit like a "riddler", made Zheng Mengjiu a little confused. However, this visit went smoothly. Li Mingbo, who had worked in Hyundai Group for more than 20 years, finally stood on their side because of common interests. It was good that he was not lured over by Zheng Mengxian~!
