Chapter 406 Zhang Junfeng's Counterattack

Although Mr. Da Zhong agreed with some of his subordinates' opinions, he couldn't get angry at this time, so he had to speak up to smooth things over and ease the atmosphere.

After all, it was the Blue House that took the initiative to invite the other party to negotiate. It would obviously be a bit too much to scold the other party just because the solution they proposed was not acceptable.

If this gets out, will his good reputation be ruined? And if he really offends Zhang Junfeng, who knows what Comet Capital will do? Comet Capital has become a giant now, and has close ties with financial giants in the United States. They have no conflict of interest with each other, so there is no need to offend them.

…

But Zhang Junfeng didn't think so. In the past two years, he had never given in to anyone. He wouldn't believe that Park Yeon-bo, a Blue House cadre who came out of nowhere, dared to cause trouble for him like this without someone instigating him!

Since the other party was deliberately looking for trouble with him, Zhang Junfeng quickly outlined a plan in his mind after a brief thought. He wanted to see if the other party would take the bait and fall into the trap!

"...Vigorously building public works is indeed quite difficult given the current domestic situation. But if we change our thinking and develop tourism, it may be a good direction."

"Jeju Island, the largest island in the southwest waters of our country, has beautiful natural scenery. If we can build complete residential and entertainment facilities there and open corresponding air and sea routes, coupled with strong official publicity, I think it will become a tourist destination in a few years~!"

…

Zhang Junfeng's words made everyone's eyes light up. This is indeed a good idea. Once it is built with supporting flights, routes and publicity, it will be an excellent tourist attraction and can also provide a large number of jobs in the long term.

However, even the cost of developing the Jeju Island project is a considerable amount. If the Hyundai Group had not split, Mr. Dae Jong could have let Chung Mong-sun (the scapegoat) of the Hyundai Group advance the funds for the construction, and then he could slowly raise funds from other places to make up for it later.

But now the group has been seriously injured and is no longer as strong as before. It is difficult to expect them to pay out another billion US dollars, let alone advance billions of US dollars to build a tourism project in Jeju Island! Zhang Junfeng seemed to see Mr. Da Zhong's embarrassment and took the lead in proposing, "Large-scale engineering projects like this that benefit the country and the people, I think these large domestic companies should be very happy to see it? The gentleman just now (Park Yeon-bo) was able to observe so carefully. As a cadre of the Blue House, I think he must have a deep study of these large domestic companies. There must be a good way to get these large companies to support and help~!"

"Mr. Da Zhong, you might as well ask. Maybe he has some unique insights. Don't you think so?" Zhang Junfeng changed the subject and quickly turned his attention to Park Yeon-bo who had just tricked him.

Li Jianxi and Zheng Mengjiu on the side also spoke up to agree after hearing what was said. Although they didn't know where Park Yanbo got the courage to provoke Zhang Junfeng, the financial giant in charge of Comet Capital and the chairman of Five Star Group, this phenomenon was not a good sign and must be suppressed and punished severely.

Otherwise, once the news gets out, who knows what will happen if those senior figures in the political and business circles think that they are afraid of the power of Mr. Da Zhong and that they can be easily controlled?

…

Park Yeon-bo's expression froze when he was named by Zhang Junfeng. He had never expected that Zhang Junfeng, whom he had just tricked and ridiculed, would come up with a solution in such a short time, and even dragged himself into the water in just a few words. Seeing Mr. Da Zhong subconsciously fantasizing about him, he suddenly felt something was wrong, but he didn't know what to say for a moment.

He only became a member of the think tank from an ordinary congressman because of Mr. Da Zhong's appreciation. The reason why he did this and dared to plot against Zhang Junfeng in front of so many people was mainly because he had a handle on him that fell into Xin Dongbing's hands!

Forced by the other party's request to take the opportunity to make things difficult for Zhang Junfeng and Comet Capital, he had no choice but to perform collectively at the meeting. However, he obviously underestimated the other party's ability and strong desire for revenge.

Look, within less than an hour, he was "hit back" by the other party!

"...Advisor Park Yeon-bo, you heard what President Zhang Junfeng said just now. Do you have any ideas to get the heads of these large domestic companies to cooperate with us in promoting the development of Jeju Island tourism projects?"

Park Yeon-bo's expression froze, and he didn't dare to speak for a moment. Of course there are ways, but there are some things that can't be said at all! Once said, those well-informed chaebols will get the news in no time! When they suffer losses, they will definitely make trouble for him. As for Mr. Dae Jong, who is in the presidency, they will naturally not fall out with him, but he, the "culprit", will definitely be attacked fiercely. Car accidents, food poisoning, fires when trapped at home, etc. are all relatively common "accidental" encounters!

"... I'm sorry to disappoint Mr. Da Zhong. I don't have the insight of President Zhang Junfeng, and I haven't thought of a feasible solution for the time being..." In order not to offend all the big domestic companies at the same time, Park Yeon-bo chose to play dumb and did not say anything.

Hearing Park Yeon-bo's answer, Mr. Dae-jong's face suddenly turned ugly. Just now, this guy questioned the chairman of Comet Capital and mocked the proposal made by him. Now it's his turn, but he can't say a word. This makes him, the president, very embarrassed! ...

After dozens of minutes, the negotiation ended early because Mr. Da Zhong had to attend another meeting.

After coming out of the area where the Blue House is located and saying hello to Chung Mong-koo, Zhang Junfeng was about to ask the driver to drive them back to Comet Capital when he was stopped by his father-in-law Li Jianxi, who told him to go to the Five Star Group first if he had nothing to do. He planned to talk to Zhang Junfeng about what had just happened.

Zhang Junfeng thought for a moment, and thinking of Park Yeon-bo who had caused him trouble many times, Zhang Junfeng nodded, asked the driver to change direction, and followed him to the Five Star Group.

…

Inside the office of the president of Five Star Group.

After Director Yin brought a cup of hot tea to Zhang Junfeng, he tactfully left the office.

Seeing that he and his son-in-law Zhang Junfeng were the only ones left in the room, Li Jianxi asked, "...Are you serious about the proposal to develop a tourism project on Jeju Island that you mentioned at the Blue House?"

Seeing Li Jianxi asking about this matter, Zhang Junfeng smiled and replied, "Of course I am serious. It's just that this matter sounds very good, but to actually implement it is another matter~!"

Hearing Zhang Junfeng say this, Li Jianxi could not help but be stunned. He originally thought that Zhang Junfeng could not stand the other party's provocation, so he threw out the Jeju Island tourism project, which could make a profit, to try to slap Park Yanbo in the face.

Now it seems that Zhang Junfeng is much more cunning and insidious than he imagined~! However, he is still quite interested in this Jeju Island tourism project.

After all, the domestic real estate industry has been in a slump for a long time since the financial crisis of 1997-1998. If there is a chance to create new opportunities in the real estate industry, it may not be a bad thing for their Five Star Group~!

Being questioned by his father-in-law, Zhang Junfeng had no choice but to patiently tell him in detail about the trip to Jeju Island.

…

On the other side, in the Blue House, after the meeting, Mr. Daejong's face was obviously much uglier. He specifically called out to Park Yeon-bo, the think tank member who had just jumped around happily in the meeting room, and then questioned him in a bad tone, "Did you deliberately cause trouble for Zhang Junfeng just now?"

Pu Yanbo panicked when his little thoughts were exposed by the other party, and quickly denied it, "Absolutely not! I just hope that the heads of these big companies can come up with a solution and share the pressure for you..."

Seeing Park Yeon-bo's panic, Mr. Da Zhong did not answer, but looked at him deeply, and then said in a cold tone, "If what you said is true, then it would be the best. Now after the corporate restructuring and reform, whether it is Five Star Group or Comet Capital, they are no longer easy to deal with. Don't act rashly if you are not sure, understand?!"

"Yes, Mr. Dae Jong!" Park Yeon-bo hurriedly nodded and replied respectfully. Having followed Mr. Dae Jong for more than two years, he naturally knew the character of this big man. Perhaps because of his contributions over the years, he did not pursue the matter further.

But he has already hinted to himself not to be too obvious in certain aspects, otherwise the President may not help him a second time.

However, as someone who had already boarded Xin Dongbing's "pirate ship", how could he easily escape the threat from the other party? If the other party took out those things, he, a member of the Congress and a member of the think tank, would have a very difficult time escaping from imprisonment, not to mention his future would be ruined! ...

In Longguo Magic City, in a high-rise office building close to the Huangpu River that was easily acquired by Tianfu Real Estate Company for RMB 120 million, Ye Boyang, the company's general manager, was receiving Chen Guodong in his office to discuss some details.

"...Mr. Ye, does your Tianfu Real Estate Company have any financial pressure on the Disney Tourism Resort project? If you have any difficulties, please let us know in time. We can help you contact major domestic banks to provide low-interest loans and ensure that this project can be completed and accepted smoothly~!" Chen Guodong said seriously.

In order to successfully obtain this "great achievement", he gave up the connections and channels he had built for many years in other provinces. If the Disneyland Resort project in Shanghai fails, it will take him many years to make up for his losses! After all, being in the officialdom is like sailing against the current. If you can't make further progress within a few years, then people like you who are standing still will be surpassed by others. This is definitely a critical point of great pressure for Chen Guodong, who is over 40 and wants to "enter the ministry and get promoted".

If he can make further progress before the age of 50, he may be able to be transferred to the imperial capital in the future and have the hope of becoming a member of the Council of Elders. His future is truly bright!

…

"Don't worry, Mayor Chen. There won't be any problem with the funding! The largest shareholder of our Tianfu Real Estate Company is Comet Capital! The Korea KB Bank, which is quite famous in China and even in Hong Kong, is owned by Comet Capital. The assets and liquidity they currently manage are said to have reached tens of billions of dollars. The cost of building a Disney tourist resort will naturally not be a problem for them!"

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

At this point, Ye Boyang smiled and teased, "Uncle, don't worry! This kind of thing was promised by the old man himself. If we were not absolutely sure, how could he agree and go to such great lengths to transfer you here?"

Hearing that his nephew Ye Boyang suddenly changed his address and mentioned the old man of the Ye family, Chen Guodong's expression relaxed a lot. "Speaking of which, I still don't quite understand how you got in touch with the top management of Comet Capital? This is too incredible, isn't it? They are so confident that they will give you full responsibility for this project worth tens of billions of RMB?"

Ye Boyang smiled proudly, "As for how I met them, it is purely a business secret, so I am not in a position to disclose it. However, the chairman of Comet Capital, Zhang Junfeng, is not only my sworn brother, but also a director of CITIC Group and an overseas investment consultant of CITIC Group. Otherwise, how could it be so easy for companies from Goryeo to do business in our Dragon Country?!"

After learning about Comet Capital and Zhang Junfeng's situation, even Chen Guodong, the experienced ruler, was somewhat shocked at this time!

If his guess was correct, Zhang Junfeng should be about the same age as Ye Boyang, so the two of them would become sworn brothers. But how could a young man in his 20s or 30s have such a huge industry and strong financial resources? Even the family members of the top wealthy people in Hong Kong might not be as exaggerated as Zhang Junfeng, right?

…

After a long while, Chen Guodong, who had gradually calmed down, smiled and said, "Boyang, when Tianfu Real Estate Company develops in the future, don't forget your uncle~! I can see that among the old man's children, you are probably the most promising~!"

He saw through it. Among the third generation of the Ye family, the youngest Ye Boyang did not choose to embark on a career in politics but chose to engage in business. Instead, he is currently the most promising one. Compared with those younger generations of the Ye family who are in politics, Ye Boyang has found a "big brother", and it will be much easier for him to take off than the others!

After all, if you want to make progress in your career these days, in addition to accumulating experience step by step, you must also have outstanding achievements. Otherwise, it will be difficult for an ordinary person to reach the threshold of a department-level cadre in his entire life~!

…

"Uncle, don't worry. In addition to the Disney Tourist Resort project, our Tianfu Real Estate Company will have other investment projects in Shanghai. We will need your help at that time!" Ye Boyang reciprocated Chen Guodong's kindness and revealed some information to comfort the other party.

After all, according to the plan of Zhang Junfeng, their sworn brother, their Tianfu Real Estate Company will invest a large amount of money in the real estate industry in Hong Kong and Shanghai, acquiring as many high-quality locations as possible at low prices and developing slowly.

This means that as long as Chen Guodong cooperates well, Tianfu Real Estate Company alone can provide the other party with a lot of "great achievements" and lend a helping hand! Hearing that there is such an "unexpected surprise", Chen Guodong couldn't help but smile. It seems that this time he agreed to transfer to Shanghai, maybe it was really the right decision!

"...If you have nothing to do today, come to my place for dinner tonight. Your aunt has been complaining to me these past few days, saying that she doesn't even know anyone in the Magic City. If you can go visit her, I think she will be very happy!"

"Of course. I have nothing to do tonight, so I can go with you, uncle!" Faced with the other party's invitation, Ye Boyang readily agreed.

Inside the building where JPMorgan Chase is located.

Looking at the data reports submitted by his subordinates, Nacho Morgan was also very surprised. It turned out that the funds they had invested in shorting the Nasdaq index had so far obtained an extremely high return of nearly 2.7 times (with a leverage of 5 times).

The US$500 million invested by JPMorgan Chase has now earned a super high return of US$1.35 billion. Although the return is far less than the previous investment in Qualcomm, it is also an extremely eye-catching investment!

…

Thinking of what Zhang Junfeng had reminded him of two days ago, Nacho Morgan thought for a moment and then gave an order, "It's about time. Let's sell off the Nasdaq futures contracts we hold in batches to cash out. No one knows whether the Nasdaq index will improve next year, so it's better to lock in the profits first!"

After hearing the latest instructions from Nacho Morgan, the subordinates nodded respectfully, then left the office and hurriedly contacted the staff at Morgan Securities to follow their boss's instructions.

Nacho Morgan in the office was bored and soon thought of his adopted daughter Anne Hathaway-Morgan. According to the information he had received before, the actress who had an affair with Zhang Junfeng (Catherine Zeta-Jones) had given birth to a daughter for him. If she didn't hurry up and catch up, she might have even less weight in Zhang Junfeng's heart!

After all, Zhang Junfeng has a legitimate wife who gave birth to a son, and his lover also gave birth to a daughter. If there is no movement from Anne Hathaway-Morgan, then this good relationship may not last long in the future!

Thinking of this, Nacho Morgan immediately called her. She planned to give Anne Hathaway-Morgan a good reminder that after a year of MBA studies, it was almost time. If she had the money for the diploma, she could just get it in advance. Who really expected her to achieve any remarkable results?
