Chapter 405: Mr. Taiyu's little thoughts, invitation

After leaving the cafe, Lu Suying did not rush to drive to her residence to take care of her three children. Instead, after thinking for a moment, she called her father Tae Woo.

When the call was connected and she heard the familiar voice of Mr. Tai Yu asking about the results of the negotiations with Zhang Junfeng, Lu Suying laughed out loud, which was very rare for her.

"Zhang Junfeng is willing to help. But he suggested that I should not get a divorce at this time. I also have a share in SK Group. Even if I want to divorce, I should get the share I deserve~!"

Hearing his daughter say this, Mr. Taewoo was silent. He knew exactly how his son-in-law Choi Tae-won went from being an ordinary second-generation rich man to becoming the head of a top enterprise and chaebol like the Five Star Group.

At that time, he thought that Cui Taiyuan had become his son-in-law, so the two sides were naturally family members. He would take special care of him, as it would be good for him if the Cui family became stronger.

However, accidents never happen. With his resignation and a series of subsequent events, the Lu family has fallen into decline. His own experiences have also doomed him to be lucky in misfortune to enjoy his old age. As for going against the chairman of the SK Group, who is at the peak of his career, it is no longer something he can easily handle now.

If Zhang Junfeng, the head of Comet Capital, is willing to support his daughter Lu Suying in her fight for SK Group, then there is a possibility of success.

After all, apart from Comet Capital's already terrifying cash flow and connections, Galaxy Group's chairman Lee Boo-jin is his wife, and Five Star Group's chairman Lee Jian-xi is his father-in-law. And the worst thing is that currently the largest domestic logistics companies and overseas companies are all under the Galaxy Group.

This is undoubtedly an extremely important lifeline for the SK Group, which relies heavily on foreign crude oil imports to produce chemical products. Once the other party takes strong action to suspend crude oil transportation cooperation with the SK Group, the SK Group, which is caught off guard, will inevitably suffer a huge impact and suffer considerable losses.

…

After ending the call, Mr. Taiyu slowly exhaled.

Some time ago, after learning about his daughter's experience in the Cui family, and considering the increasingly declining situation of the Lu family, he handed over the personal business card that Zhang Junfeng had given him to his daughter with a try-it attitude, and told her that if she really needed help, she could contact Zhang Junfeng, an old friend.

Now it seems that Zhang Junfeng's character is much better than that of his son-in-law Cui Taiyuan. At least he not only did not take advantage of their misfortune but was also willing to help them. Such a person is obviously much more reliable~!

Thinking of this, Mr. Taiyu couldn't help but think of his good brother Quan Kaka, who was in a similar situation as him. He wondered how he was doing these days. They had faced the Great Trial together, but Quan Kaka was much tougher than him at that time.

Not only did he take all the blame by himself, but when the members of the jury questioned where Jeon Kaka had spent all the money he had embezzled and extorted in bribes (approximately 220 billion won), Jeon Kaka refused to reveal anything and took the blame alone.

However, the punishment after the subsequent trial was also extremely severe, requiring Quan Kaka to pay hundreds of billions of won in compensation. Most of the money had already been sent to the military. How could Quan Kaka, who had supported them, possibly come up with the money?

As a brother, he sometimes helps the other party in private. After all, this good brother also made great efforts for him to ascend to the presidency. In addition, the core members of the Yi Xin Society have all received great promotions. Just as Quan Kaka said during the "12.12" incident, "I will not enjoy this honor alone"! ...

At night, in a luxurious room of a private club in Gangnam District, Seoul.

Shin Dong-byung, who was sitting in a wheelchair, was hugging a young female trainee from JYP Entertainment and molesting her, with a smug smile on his face.

He glanced at Choi Tae-won, chairman of SK Group, who was about to engage in a physical fight with an unknown third-rate actress on the sofa next to him. When he realized that the other party had even less self-control than himself, Shin Dong-byeong asked with a smile, "Chairman Choi, are you satisfied with this arrangement?"

"Satisfied, really satisfied! I didn't expect that you, Dong Bing, actually took over an entertainment company and arranged for them to provide services in this private club. It's really interesting~!"

"As long as you're satisfied~!" Shin Dong-byung said with a smile. A few months ago, when the president of JYP Entertainment came to Yuetian Group to seek cooperation, although the other party was directly rejected by his elder brother Shin Dong-joo, the vice president, he was quick-witted and quickly came up with an idea and asked his subordinates to stop the man.

Shin Dong-byeong was even happier when he learned that JYP Entertainment's president Park Jin-yong had offended Jang Jun-bong and was banned by Comet Capital in disguise, which led to the company's decline. He quickly promised the other party a lot of benefits. As long as Park Jin-yong agreed, he would have plenty of ways to support JYP Entertainment, and even surpass SM Entertainment to become a giant in the domestic entertainment industry.

Park Jin-yong was a little bit unconvinced at first, but when Shin Dong-byeong revealed his identity, Park Jin-yong, who was unaware of the inside story of Yuetian Group, was motivated by interests and revenge, and agreed for some reason.

The cooperation between them is relatively simple and clear. JYP Entertainment arranges beautiful young actresses, female singers and even trainees with no background, while Shin Dong-byung provides a platform (luxury private club) to help connect and bring in many big names in the political and business circles to become their connections or even helpers.

In order to better control these people, Xin Dongbing installed secret high-altitude surveillance video equipment in many private rooms in the club to ensure that he could get all their evidence in his hands, which would become a powerful tool to control them.

Of course, there were also many female artists from entertainment companies who wanted to resist after learning the truth, but they were soon scared off by the need to pay JYP Entertainment a sky-high compensation for breach of contract and the ruthless measures taken by Shin Dong-byung, and could only endure the humiliation silently.

…

"Chairman Choi, I heard that last year, Zhang Junfeng from Comet Capital visited you in SK Group. What happened?" Shin Dong-byung tentatively asked about some of the information he had investigated, hoping to get verification from the other party.

Cui Taiyuan, who was enjoying the wonderful touch of the woman in his arms, did not think much about it and subconsciously explained, "At the beginning, the representative of Goldman Sachs came to us hoping to take over most of the shares of NewData Technology Company from our SK Group. He said he wanted to hype it up and make a profit!"

"I get really angry whenever I mention this. I just wanted them to pay a higher price, but they just quit. Later, they worked with Comet Capital to raise Daum's share price. I also visited Comet Capital, but they didn't give me any face at all. They are really hateful and cruel!"

Thinking of the hateful face he had with Zhang Junfeng before, Cui Taiyuan, who was originally quite happy, showed an annoyed look on his face, and unconsciously exerted a little more strength in his hands. The actress in his arms screamed in pain, which made him feel very proud and exerted a little more strength. If there were no other people present, he would have "executed" her on the spot!

Seeing that Choi Tae-won was about to lose his temper, Shin Dong-byeong said hello to him and asked a female trainee to push his wheelchair and take him away. Anyway, even if he was not there, the secret monitoring room would record everything that happened in the room.

Since Cui Taiyuan also has a big conflict with Comet Capital and Zhang Junfeng, it is a good idea to win him over and fight Comet Capital together. Of course, before that, he needs the other party to help him bring down his father Xin Gehao and his brother Xin Dongzhu, so that he can sit on the chairman's throne of Yuetian Group! ...

As time went by, more than a week later, the news that Hyundai Construction under the New Hyundai Group and Five Star Trading Company under the Five Star Group were recruiting a large number of civil engineering workers and technicians spread like wildfire. It was said that the two companies had undertaken Comet Capital's large-scale project in a foreign country (Long Country) and were in urgent need of a large number of construction workers.

This situation also attracted the attention of Mr. Dae Jong of the Blue House. For Mr. Dae Jong and his team who are worried about the high unemployment rate in the country, this is undoubtedly excellent good news.

After discussing with his subordinates, Mr. Da Zhong quickly ordered his subordinates to extend invitations to New Modern Group, Five Star Group and Comet Capital, hoping that the heads of the three companies would be able to attend the meeting to discuss important matters.

Before Zhang Junfeng could think about this sudden invitation, Li Jianxi and Zheng Mengjiu called him one after another to ask for his opinion.

Both said that if the Blue House talked about investing in Longguo, they agreed that Comet Capital would take the lead in answering and dealing with Mr. Daejong and other senior officials. As for other matters, they would delay as much as possible and would never make a decision on the spot.

Zhang Junfeng thought about the two's "slippery" proposal and readily agreed. After all, the Disney Resort project was indeed led by Comet Capital in Korea. If it weren't for his permission, neither the New Modern Group nor the Five Star Group would have gotten a share of the spoils.

…

The next morning, Zhang Junfeng and Wu Xiuying, accompanied by bodyguards, arrived at the Blue House more than ten minutes early. When they arrived at the venue under the guidance of the staff, they unexpectedly found that Zheng Mengjiu and his father-in-law Li Jianxi had already arrived.

Upon seeing this, Zhang Junfeng calmly walked over to them, pulled out a chair and sat with them. He chatted with them from time to time while waiting for Mr. Da Zhong to arrive.

Nearly 20 minutes later, Mr. Da Zhong and his subordinates finally arrived.

After they were seated, Mr. Da Zhong, who was sitting at the head seat, quickly glanced at the three people. After staying on Zhang Junfeng for a few seconds, he spoke, "I specially invited the three of you to come here because I have something important to discuss with you."

"I heard that Comet Capital has a large investment project in Longguo. Recently, it has cooperated with New Modern Group and Five Star Group and sent a lot of staff to Longguo. I don't know what the specific investment project is? Can President Zhang Junfeng reveal it?"

Zhang Junfeng, who was called by Mr. Da Zhong, showed no signs of stage fright. He just smiled and explained, "It's also good luck. Comet Capital was lucky enough to get a quota for the construction and operation of Disneyland in the United States. After comprehensive consideration, we plan to build this park in the populous Dragon Country..."

Listening to Zhang Junfeng's story, Mr. Da Zhong showed an unhappy look on his face. The subordinate beside him was naturally prepared. He asked, "Why did President Zhang Junfeng choose to build Disneyland in Longguo? Did he think it couldn't be built in Goryeo or was there some other reason?"

"The reason why we chose to build Disneyland in China is naturally the conclusion reached after special market research and reasonable analysis. Looking at the existing Disney theme parks around the world, they are all located in countries and regions with large populations. Only in this way can the park bring considerable tourists and revenue."

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

"If Disneyland is built in Goryeo, considering Goryeo's current economic situation and small population, do you think such a Disneyland can not lose money?" Zhang Junfeng's mouth curled up slightly. It was obviously too much to want to make a fuss about this matter and give him a warning.

Comet Capital is an investment institution, not a charity. It is better to give up unprofitable investment as soon as possible. And if, as this guy said, all overseas investment projects must be implemented in Korea, then more than half of these large domestic companies will be implicated~!

Seeing that he had no advantage in terms of reasoning, Mr. Da Zhong, who had been silent at the side, stopped his subordinate who wanted to continue speaking and said calmly, "Chairman Zhang Junfeng's concerns are understandable. The most important thing for a company is to make continuous profits. Only in this way can it survive."

"Of course, we also hope that large companies like Comet Capital New Modern Group and Five Star Group can take more domestic conditions into consideration when carrying out overseas investment projects, and provide and create more jobs for our people."

"I think everyone has heard of the '11.13' incident. There are quite a few laid-off workers now. We are more worried that if they are instigated by some people to start a riot and attack those big companies, causing irreparable losses, it will be troublesome..."

Hearing Mr. Da Zhong's words, trying to put the blame for the "November 13" incident on them, Zheng Mengjiu and Li Jianxi's faces suddenly became ugly. What does Mr. Da Zhong mean? ! They also know how large the number of laid-off and unemployed people in the country is.

The job vacancies of millions of people were not caused by these two companies. Is it appropriate to bring them here to raise such a matter?! …

Seeing that Zheng Mengjiu and Li Jianxi did not say anything, Zhang Junfeng vaguely guessed their thoughts and concerns, so he took the initiative to take over the other party's words and said, "Mr. Da Zhong is right. However, our three companies have limited overseas investment projects. Even if we can provide some jobs, I am afraid it is just a drop in the bucket and cannot solve the urgent problem, right?"

Hearing what Zhang Junfeng said, Li Jianxi and Zheng Mengjiu were delighted and started to agree.

Strictly speaking, in this corporate restructuring, the Daewoo Group, which was once ranked second, undoubtedly caused the most layoffs. After all, the entire group was insolvent and about to go bankrupt. How could those people not be unemployed? However, the Daewoo Group had tens of thousands of employees in China. Even if these companies could forcibly provide one or two thousand jobs, it would be the limit. If they could provide more, they would probably suffer a lot. After all, the overall market is still not very sluggish.

Their overseas market share and revenue have still not recovered to their peak period. It is difficult for them to achieve great success relying solely on the small domestic market.

…

Seeing that the situation was different from what he expected, Mr. Da Zhong didn't know what to do for a moment. Originally, the members of the think tank suggested that he could use his brains to use the overseas industries and projects of these large companies to provide some jobs to alleviate the high unemployment rate in the country. Now it seems that the situation is far more complicated than he imagined.

However, apart from relying on these large enterprises, it is difficult for him to come up with other solutions to provide a large number of jobs in a short period of time to alleviate the poor employment situation in the country.

…

Seeing that the negotiation had reached an impasse, neither side spoke again to break the silence. When Zhang Junfeng saw his father-in-law Li Jianxi nodding at him slightly, as if asking him if there was a better solution, Zhang Junfeng smiled helplessly.

He is not a think tank or a senior official of the Blue House, and he does not want to get involved in such a thankless task. If he does not do it well, he may be blamed by some people and become a miserable "scapegoat".

It was just that the cadre Park Yeon-bo who had deliberately made things difficult for Zhang Junfeng at the meeting just now seemed to have noticed the little tricks of Zhang Junfeng and Li Jianxi, and immediately spoke to Mr. Da Zhong beside him and suggested, "Sir, President Zhang Junfeng and President Li Jianxi seemed to be discussing something just now. Judging from President Zhang Junfeng's expression, he should have come up with a good idea. Why don't you ask him~!"

Hearing what this subordinate said, everyone else present turned their eyes to Zhang Junfeng and Li Jianxi beside him.

Zhang Junfeng, who was suddenly tricked, looked at Park Yanbo who had just "made trouble" with a serious look, and then a bright smile appeared on his face. This guy must want to plot against him, right? But did he really think that he, Zhang Junfeng, was so easy to be manipulated?! After this negotiation is over, let's see how he will retaliate~!

"What the gentleman just said is correct. Chairman Li Jianxi and I do have some ideas. In the 1930s, during the Great Depression, President Roosevelt of the United States implemented a series of economic policies, the core of which was the three Rs, namely relief, recovery and reform!"

"Among the many measures implemented, the most important one is 'work-for-relief'. By vigorously building public works, the government will increase employment opportunities, ease social crises and class contradictions, increase employment and stimulate consumption and production..."

…

Mr. Da Zhong was immediately interested when he heard Zhang Junfeng. The method of using work instead of relief does have a lot of reference value at this time, but the biggest problem now is that the biggest difference between their Goryeo and the American government at that time is that the Goryeo government does not have much cash reserves, and it is obviously unlikely to sustain a large-scale "using work instead of relief".

Moreover, there seemed to be no domestic public works that could create hundreds of thousands or even millions of jobs at once. After all, their country was only the size of a province in the neighboring Dragon Country, so the scale of domestic projects was doomed to be small.

Park Yeon-bo, who had been looking for trouble just now, saw that there were many problems and loopholes in Zhang Junfeng's proposal, and immediately opened his mouth, belittling the other party in front of Mr. Da Zhong. It seemed that he was going to fight Zhang Junfeng to the death and was deliberately looking for trouble!
