Back in Comet Capital's business car, Wu Mingxi, who had just witnessed the entire process, couldn't help but ask, "Boss, this operation couldn't be just to bring "something" to the other party, right? If that's the case, there shouldn't be any need to make this trip in person, right?"

"Of course it won't be that simple. It's just that this is our first meeting with the other party. It's a taboo to talk too much with someone we just met. Just stop when you have the chance. The rest just needs to go with the flow!" Zhang Junfeng said calmly.

Today's Lu Baima and the entire Lu family are no longer what they used to be.

If he remembered correctly, Noh's eldest daughter Noh So-young was married to Choi Tae-won, the chairman of SK Group. It was precisely because of President Noh Baekma as her father-in-law that SK Group was able to transform from a chemical company to a state-owned telecommunications company in just a few years. Its scale and financial strength expanded rapidly, catching up with the Hyundai Group and Five Star Group, which took decades to develop, and once jumped into the top ten large companies in Goryeo.

In addition, there has been a major reshuffle of large corporate forces in Korea in the past two years. SK Group has even come from behind to surpass Hanjin Group and Yuetian Group to become one of the top five large companies in the country.

It's just that Cui Taiyuan's character is not very good. How kind he was to Lu Suying and Lu Baima in the past, and now that the Lu family is in trouble, his attitude towards them as a husband and son-in-law is just as bad.

In addition, when the grand trial was settled a few years ago, both Lu and Quan were asked to pay huge sums of money in compensation. Both claimed that they were unable to pay, so their account assets were strictly monitored. Once a huge amount of money came in, it would be intercepted by the staff at the first time and used to pay the compensation.

If there were no other backers or forces to support them, the defeat of the Lu family would only be a matter of time.

If Mr. Tai Yu wants to find a backer or someone worthy of trust to provide some protection for his family, then the financially strong Zhang Junfeng and Comet Capital behind him will naturally be an excellent partner.

Helping to advance his compensation is just a piece of cake, and even if his children make proper arrangements, it is not a difficult task. Even if the other party offers enough benefits, he can help create some trouble for SK Group and let Choi Tae-won suffer~!

Of course, if the other party takes the initiative to propose it, then it will be Zhang Junfeng who will hold the initiative.

Later, when he can contact Quan Kaka through Mr. Tai Yu, Zhang Junfeng will have the other party's connections, and it will be easy for him to keep Comet Capital and Galaxy Group~!

…

Not long after Zhang Junfeng returned to Comet Capital, he received a call from America.

"Dear Zhang, the senior executives at Walt Disney have agreed to your request to get a quota for the construction and operation of Disney theme park projects in Asia. They also offer two transaction models. One is to spend 300 million US dollars at a time to buy out the naming and copyright, and we will build the theme park project by ourselves. The other is to adopt a cooperative profit-sharing model, in which they can provide technical support and theme park project design plans, but they will take 30% of the annual profits in the future!"

"In addition, they require that no new Disney theme parks be built in countries and regions that have already opened. There shouldn't be any problem with this request, right?" On the other end of the phone, Nacho Morgan informed Zhang Junfeng, who was far away on the other side of the ocean, of a good news from his subordinates.

"This kind of request is not a big deal. But as for the transaction model, the first one-time buyout is more cost-effective. It won't cost much for me to find the most professional construction company and design team for the design plan and technical support of the amusement park~!" Hearing that there is hope of getting a place in the construction of Disneyland, he was in a very good mood.

After hearing what Zhang Junfeng said, Nacho Morgan felt relieved, but he was still quite curious about why Zhang Junfeng suddenly tinkered with such an "unexpected" physical project as Disneyland.

You should know that of the four Disney theme parks owned by the Walt Disney Company, three of them located in the United States and Japan make profits every year, but the one located in Paris, France is still losing money and is even becoming a huge burden for the company.

Therefore, Walt Disney's senior management was cautious about opening new Disney parks, fearing that if they invested a lot of money, the park would become a large "money-loser", making the already tight capital chain even worse! ...

In response to Nacho Morgan's curiosity, Zhang Junfeng said confidently, "Since I want to get the quota for the construction and operation of Disneyland, I am naturally very confident! If you are interested, you can also come and participate. After the subsequent Disneyland is built, you can also enjoy a certain amount of dividends according to the proportion of shares held~!"

The reason why Zhang Junfeng chose this time period was to use the power of his sworn brother in Longguo, Ye Boyang, and the Ye family to acquire a large piece of land in Shanghai in advance for the construction of the future Disney tourist resort. Moreover, housing prices in many places in Shanghai have not risen sharply, so the cost of acquiring the land in advance will be much lower.

As for the idea of ​​building a Disneyland on the Xiangjiang River? Zhang Junfeng gave up after just a moment of consideration. Even in his previous life, even though the Hong Kong Disneyland had been built for more than a decade, its profitability was not as strong as the Magic City Disneyland that was built later~!

The reason is that land in Hong Kong is scarce and each piece of land is very expensive, while Disneyland requires a very large area.

Therefore, in order to build Disneyland, the Hong Kong government and Disney Company jointly invested in reclaiming 300 hectares of land. However, the initial reclamation of land to build an amusement park would undoubtedly make the cost and related procedures required for the initial construction quite complicated. Moreover, the subsequent expansion of Disneyland would also be an extremely difficult problem.

…

"...Join the construction project of Disney Theme Park?" Nacho Morgan hesitated. Most of his life, he had been involved in financial work such as corporate investment, financial transaction processing, investment management, commercial financial services, personal banking, etc. He did not have much idea or experience about physical projects such as amusement parks!

"...Ahem, let's let the investment bank get involved. Anne happens to be free these days, so why don't we let her take up a position at the investment bank and be responsible for this project as a representative?"

After considering for a moment, Nacho Morgan decided to trust Zhang Junfeng's usual investment vision, and to arrange for Anne Hathaway-Morgan, who had nothing to do, to be involved, so as to create conditions for the other party to contact Zhang Junfeng.

Hearing what the other party said, Zhang Junfeng also nodded with a smile. This time, the successful acquisition of the construction and operation quota of Disneyland was largely due to the strong support from JPMorgan Chase.

Otherwise, how could those greedy guys give up the construction and operation quota of the amusement park so easily? They raised the price and wished to get more gold coins from them. It would be best if they could get it for free, which would be in the interests of these profit-oriented senior executives.

…

After finishing the call with Nacho Morgan, Zhang Junfeng quickly called Ye Boyang, who was negotiating a real estate acquisition project in Hong Kong, to inform him about the quota for the construction and operation of Disneyland.

When the other party learned that Zhang Junfeng, a little brother, had even obtained the construction and operation rights of Disneyland, which was exclusively owned by Walt Disney Company, he was extremely excited and curiously asked Zhang Junfeng how he had done it. Zhang Junfeng did not reveal too much, but only said that his allies in the United States helped him to get this done, and then Ye Boyang would need to make an effort. According to Zhang Junfeng's meaning, a large piece of land in the Magic City was needed to build this Disneyland, and Ye Boyang could not help but murmur in his heart.

Although he was naturally happy that Zhang Junfeng was going to hand this matter over to him, but according to what Zhang Junfeng said, it would take up an area of ​​3-4 square kilometers, which was almost as large as a township in Longguo.

It was obviously impossible for him to accomplish this with his energy alone. But if he went back and told his grandfather about it, he might have other ideas, such as moving the Disneyland to another city to add credit to his brothers, sisters, and even other relatives~!

When he and Zhang Junfeng worked together to open Tianfu Real Estate Company, Mr. Ye had expressed similar ideas. To be safe, he had to think of a solution in advance. Otherwise, it would be very difficult to passively wait until something happened before thinking of a solution.

…

After thinking for a moment, Ye Boyang told Zhang Junfeng his concerns truthfully. After all, in Ye Boyang's opinion, if the plan was delayed because of his own problems, then he, as his sworn brother, would be too disloyal!

Hearing the voice coming from the phone, Zhang Junfeng smiled brightly. Ye Boyang's honesty also made Zhang Junfeng very happy. If Ye Boyang directly agreed to let him handle it, Zhang Junfeng would be a little worried.

…

"If Mr. Ye has other ideas, Brother Ye might as well tell him that the fastest-growing and most prosperous region in Dragon Country will be Shanghai. Not only will Disneyland be built there, but many investment projects of Comet Capital and Tianfu Real Estate Company will also be built there."

"If he is willing, he can take action in advance. It should not be difficult to rely on Mr. Ye's connections to help one or two younger generations transfer their work locations?" Zhang Junfeng said his proposal with a smile. Anyway, his position is very clear. Whether it is Disneyland or other investment projects that want to be implemented, Dragon Country's Magic City is naturally the best choice.

As for the Ye family, if they wanted to get some of these bonuses, then transferring the younger generation to share a piece of the pie would naturally be the safest second option. Anyway, all their projects have not started yet, so giving the other party a certain amount of time to complete the transfer will not delay anything.

After listening to Zhang Junfeng's proposal, Ye Boyang's original worries were quickly swept away. He smiled and replied to Zhang Junfeng, "Brother Junfeng, you are really amazing! In this way, the old man should not be able to find other reasons to embarrass me! Anyway, the opportunity is there. If they can't take advantage of it, they can only blame themselves, not me, hahaha~!"

Zhang Junfeng on the other end of the phone was also infected by the other party's smile and laughed happily. He felt more certain in his heart. It seems that it won't be long before Disneyland... No, to be more precise, the Disney Tourist Resort project will be able to be implemented in the Magic City of Dragon Country~!

…

More than two months passed. On a weekend in late October, Zhang Junfeng and his wife attended a party at the Li family's mansion as usual. They watched the TV news anchor excitedly announce that through the joint efforts of all enterprises and employees, their Goryeo is expected to repay the IMF's $19.5 billion aid funds three years ahead of schedule, becoming the first country to get rid of the IMF system~!

Looking at the many video footage and data analyses interspersed in the camera, Li Jianxi did not express his own opinion, but asked for other people's opinions.

As the future successor of the Five Star Group, Li Zairong naturally became the one who attracted the most attention. After pondering for a moment, Li Zairong expressed his opinion. He felt that the corporate restructuring and reform plan led by Mr. Da Zhong to revitalize the company was feasible.

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

Their Five Star Group has gradually recovered its profitability through previous corporate restructuring and reforms. It will probably not take long for it to return to the level before the financial crisis.

Li Jianxi nodded without commenting, but asked her two daughters about their opinions. However, both Li Fuzhen and Li Shuxian had similar opinions to Li Zairong.

Li Jianxi couldn't help but sigh at this situation. He didn't expect that his three children still looked at and understood things superficially, without any in-depth analysis! Of course, Li Jianxi also noticed Zhang Junfeng, who was watching the show silently, and almost without hesitation, Li Jianxi quickly asked Zhang Junfeng for his opinion.

Zhang Junfeng glanced at the people and then said with a smile, "What the host said on TV is just what the senior officials of the Blue House want the people to hear. Even though we are expected to repay the IMF aid in advance, the impact of the financial crisis, especially in terms of export of corporate products, is still not optimistic."

"In the past, the European and American markets have been occupied by peer products from other countries. It is only because we adjusted the export destination and shifted the focus to Asian countries that our sales have not declined significantly, but have increased. In this regard, the marketing strategies of Five Star and Galaxy Group are very different from those of other companies..."

After hearing Zhang Junfeng's analysis, Li Zairong was stunned for a moment, and then he reacted and unconsciously showed a bitter smile on his face. Sure enough, his father did not give any comments before. It turned out that he did not think it was comprehensive and in-depth enough~!

"...If you say so, how will the situation change next?" Li Jianxi looked at the other party deeply, and then asked the doubts in his heart.

"…It's hard to say about the rest, but the number of people who lose their jobs due to corporate restructuring and reform will increase. It's hard to guarantee that they won't do something unexpected under the instigation of certain people."

"Unexpected things, do you mean...?" After hearing the key information, Li Jianxi hurriedly asked Zhang Junfeng, but Zhang Junfeng just smiled and said that these were just his guesses and it was still unclear whether they would happen~!

Hearing this lame excuse, the others were quite helpless. Seeing what he said, they couldn't tell whether Zhang Junfeng was joking with them or was serious. But they didn't expect that what Zhang Junfeng said casually would really happen in half a month.

…

On the afternoon of November 13, at the instigation of the union leaders, about 20,000 workers held a national workers' rally on Dongguk University Road in Seoul, with the slogan of inheriting the spirit of the late union leader Jeon Tae-il, demanding an end to corporate restructuring and opposing labor law reform.

The rally attracted workers and students from all walks of life, who held aloft banners and marched to send a clear message that they were unwilling to remain silent and said the root cause of the economic difficulties was the collusion between government and business and rampant corruption at the Blue House, and that ordinary workers refused to pay for their mistakes.

The protesters formed a dense human wall and the scene was intense, causing serious traffic jams in many areas. Many vehicles were pushed to the side of the road and there were even clashes with the police.

…

When the news was broadcast on TV, Zhang Junfeng immediately asked Wu Xiuying to issue a notice to inform their staff about the terrible situation outside. If the riot had not ended after get off work, they could rest and wait in the unit for a while and leave after this sudden riot was over.

In addition, Zhang Junfeng also called Li Fuzhen and others, asking them to pay attention to safety, not to join in the fun unless necessary, and to just wait and see what happens.

…

Faced with the escalating protests, the Blue House, with the tacit approval of Mr. Dae Jong, finally chose to fight violence with violence, mobilizing about 3,000 riot police to form a battle formation and prepare to take tough measures to control the situation.

The riot police used rubber bullets and tear gas to try to disperse the crowd, but to little effect and even intensified the conflict. The protesters used all the weapons around them, including wooden boards, metal pipes, and even roadside stones to fight the attacks.

By around 7 p.m., more than 50 people from both sides were injured, and the participants then burned a large sculpture and dozens of labor law booklets on Jongno 3-ga and dispersed on their own.

Representatives of the Federation of Trade Unions warned that collusion between government and business and corruption are undermining the national economy, but these shameless politicians are shifting all the blame onto the workers. If their "legitimate and reasonable" rights demands are not accepted, they will continue to fight.

…

Inside the Blue House meeting room.

Mr. Da Zhong angrily looked at the people sitting in a circle but no one said a word, and angrily scolded, "This riot lasted for more than five hours. In the end, even the anti-explosion police were dispatched but they couldn't suppress the situation in a short time. So many people died. How will it end next?!" (End of this chapter)
