"Hmph! Do those guys have the guts to do that?!" Zhang Junfeng sneered. Not to mention the special relationship between Galaxy Group, Five Star Group and Comet Capital, how many of those business leaders who came to plead for mercy would have the courage to stand up in front of Li Fuzhen, the chairman of Galaxy Group?

Although I feel that what Zhang Junfeng said is a bit overbearing, from the perspective of business management, being able to make the companies under their command obtain more profits is something that the top management of the group should do.

After Li Fuzhen hung up the phone, she quickly made up her mind that she could negotiate as Zhang Junfeng said, but she just had to drag it out slowly. Anyway, the initiative was in their hands. Could they find a second large shipping company to take on the burden of transporting raw materials?

…

After Zhang Junfeng saw the call was hung up, he smiled and shook his head. He quickly shifted his attention to another matter. He planned to give Lu Suying some of the information he had obtained from Kim Jong-min about SK Group Chairman Choi Tae-won's affair in a private club involving money, power and sex transactions, in order to make the other party confident in him and persuade her to continue to endure for a while.

When Zhang Junfeng knew that Cui Taiyuan and Xin Dongbing were hooking up, he had already been blacklisted by Zhang Junfeng. As long as the right time came, Zhang Junfeng would take advantage of the situation and launch a full-strength attack, and he would definitely kill and cripple the other party, leaving no chance for the other party to turn the tables! As for Xin Dongbing, Zhang Junfeng was quite surprised. Obviously, this guy was crippled by his design, but he was able to not only return to the country like a cockroach, but also cancel the official wanted order, and even do this kind of business behind the scenes. This courage and ability are far more powerful than he imagined!

But he was also very curious. In a capital-oriented region like Goryeo, after losing his position as vice president of Yuetian Group, where did Shin Dongbing get the huge amount of funds to set up a private club?

According to some information revealed by Kim Jong-min, the private club not only bought the 2nd and 3rd floors of the building, but also decorated it extremely luxuriously. It is conservatively estimated that it is at least tens of billions of won. It is obviously impossible for such a poor guy like Shin Dong-byung to come up with such a large amount of money!

He wanted to see what kind of high-ranking figure this Xin Dongbing had to cling to in order to be able to make such a big move behind the scenes? !

…

When Zhang Junfeng revealed the news about Cui Taiyuan to Lu Suying, this woman who had been a wealthy wife for many years was a little excited for a moment.

However, when Zhang Junfeng clearly stated that the information currently available was not enough to defeat Choi Tae-won and create an opportunity to help her compete for SK Group's shares and management rights, Lu Suying was obviously disappointed.

However, she quickly adjusted her mindset. After all, she had endured all these years and now saw an opportunity. How long would it take for the real opportunity to come? ...

SK Group, Chairman’s Office.

After the private club opened by Shin Dong-bing was busted, Choi Tae-won was in a daze for several days. He was afraid that his previous visit there would be exposed. Fortunately, he contacted Shin Dong-bing by phone, and the other party repeatedly assured him that the matter had been properly handled and he would never be implicated.

Cui Taiyuan finally relaxed completely when he was not mentioned in the subsequent Procuratorate or news reports.

However, the situation of SK Group is similar to that of Yuetian Group. When the Internet industry was booming, they used a lot of funds to buy Daum's stocks. After the crisis broke out, the stocks they held became a pile of unsaleable garbage, and a large amount of funds were trapped. Faced with the Jeju Island tourism project, which may be very profitable, they can only watch with envy.

But if he remembered correctly, when he was having fun in the private club before, he had heard this guy Shin Dongbing mention that he had connections with the top executives of Lehman Brothers in the United States. This was also an important basis for him to secretly open this private club after returning to China.

After careful consideration, Choi Tae-won decided to contact Shin Dong-byung again. If he could get the construction order for the Jeju Island project from Lehman Brothers through him, it would be good news for their SK Group.

After all, with a pretext, SK Group can legitimately expand its construction company and compete with other large companies. Anyway, even if it fails, they won't lose much.

…

"Chairman Choi Tae-won has a good idea. Our Yuetian Group can also ask Lehman Brothers to take over the Jeju Island project. Why should we transfer it to your SK Group?" Shin Dong-byung asked with a smile after receiving a call from Choi Tae-won.

At this moment, Xin Dongbing was still immersed in the joy of "showing off in front of others" at the previous meeting. Seeing his elder brother being humiliated and looking unhappy, he was in a very good mood.

"It all depends on what President Shin Dong-byeong thinks! If SK Group can obtain the construction rights for these projects, then we can naturally offer the corresponding benefits. But if Yuetian Group takes it, given President Shin Dong-byeong's current situation, I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to get much benefit, right?"

Cui Taiyuan was very confident. Although he had not had much contact with Xin Dongbing before, he later conducted a detailed investigation on Xin Dongbing. Especially after he returned to China, Cui Taiyuan knew everything about the personnel changes in Yuetian Group.

"...Hahaha, Chairman Choi Tae-won's analysis is correct! I feel your sincerity!" After a moment's silence, Shin Dong-byung burst into laughter.

If his previous plan was to use his relationship with Peter Fuld to take over all the Jeju Island projects obtained from Lehman Brothers, let the old man Shin Go-hao see his abilities, and pave the way for himself to compete for the position of vice chairman or even take over as the new chairman of the group.

Cui Taiyuan's words gave him another completely different idea. As long as he had enough funds and bribed the shareholders of Yuetian Group, he could still initiate an extraordinary shareholders' meeting and directly bring down Xin Gehao and Xin Dongzhu!

In this way, he can still become the head of Yuetian Group and achieve his goal! And the process may be much easier than competing with Shin Dongzhu and Shin Gehao for the power of the group! "Since President Shin Dongbing has no objection, I'll trouble you with the Jeju Island tourism project! After the matter is completed, the reward will definitely not disappoint President Shin!" Choi Taiyuan saw the other party's refusal, and then he went with the flow and wanted to finalize the matter.

——————Dividing line——————

In the meeting room of the Five Star Group, Li Fuzhen, who was sitting in the main seat, smiled faintly at the representatives of many companies who were called in. "We at the Galaxy Group already know the purpose of your visit. This is Cui Hongyuan, the president of Hanjin Shipping Company. If you have any requests, you may as well raise them directly now!"

Hearing what Li Fuzhen said, many corporate representatives looked at Li Fuzhen, the imposing female president of the Galaxy Group, with some suspicion, and then shifted their attention to Cui Hongyuan.

"...We at Daewoo Construction hope that Hanjin Shipping can lower the freight rates, otherwise our project construction in Jeju Island will be seriously affected..." The representative of Daewoo Group was the first to speak and put forward his request.

Seeing someone taking the lead, representatives from other companies such as GS Construction, Posco Construction, and Shinsegae also followed suit. They hoped that by jointly demanding a reduction in freight rates, they could force Hanjin Shipping to make concessions.

But what everyone didn't expect was that President Cui Hongyuan of Hanjin Shipping was not nervous at all. He just said righteously, "You may not know that international oil prices have not shown a downward trend since they continued to rise several times last year. The profit of our Hanjin Shipping is not as good as before!"

"The reason for adjusting the freight rate is because the cost has risen sharply. If the international oil price can drop, we are naturally willing to lower the freight rate to make it more convenient for everyone!"

After hearing what Cui Hongyuan said, the representatives didn't know how to refute for a moment. After all, they directly blamed the rise in international crude oil prices, and the operating costs of their shipping companies also went up, so it was reasonable to increase the freight rate!

But they would not be happy if they had to make a wasted trip. They looked at each other, and then the representative of Daewoo Construction Company proposed, "Chairman Li, our construction companies have undertaken the Jeju Island tourism project organized by the government, and we need to transport a large amount of construction materials and equipment to the island. Can you give us some discounts so that we will not delay the progress of the project..."

"Yes, I hope Chairman Lee can provide us with some convenience, so that the Blue House can also give an explanation..." The representative of Posco Construction tried to use the name of the Blue House to make Lee Boo-jin make concessions.

However, how could Li Fuzhen, who had already discussed with Zhang Junfeng, be so easily fooled by a few words from the other party? She smiled and replied, "Although I can understand your thoughts, it is your company that has taken on the project and needs to go to Jeju Island to develop and build it, not our Galaxy Group, right?"

"Do you think it's appropriate to let other companies sacrifice their profits or even work for you at a loss in order to make your own company profitable? Or did the top leaders of the Blue House issue a notice telling you what to do?"

Hearing Li Fuzhen's seemingly calm but sharp answer, everyone was shocked! They originally thought that the other party was a woman, and they only needed to complain and make the difficulties clear, and the other party might soften their heart! They never expected that this person was also an extremely shrewd person, and the rhetoric and plan they had previously prepared were completely useless!

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

…

In the end, the meeting ended with the failure of bargaining among several construction companies.

Watching those frustrated and frustrated representatives leave, Li Fuzhen smiled and told Cui Hongyuan, "If there are other companies coming to try to persuade Hanjin Shipping to lower the freight rates, I hope President Cui can withstand the pressure."

"If you have any difficulties, please don't hesitate to contact the group headquarters at any time. Even if I can't solve it... President Zhang Junfeng of Comet Capital can intervene!"

Hearing Li Fuzhen's affirmative statement, Cui Hongyuan smiled and nodded. He originally thought that Li Fuzhen, the group president, called him here because she wanted him to be the "bad guy" and reject all those guys, and then she, the president, would be the "good guy" to ease the atmosphere and avoid making things too tense. Unexpectedly, at the critical moment, the attitude of this female president Li Fuzhen was still quite firm!

And now with the clear statement from the group chairman, it will be quite easy for him to reject those companies later.

…

After returning to his office, Li Fuzhen quickly continued to check the recent work reports of the group's subsidiaries. As the year draws to a close, as the group's chairman, he still needs to know the operating conditions of these subsidiaries.

However, before she had read the information for long, the landline phone beside her suddenly rang. Li Fuzhen answered the phone subconsciously and heard the familiar voice of her father Li Jianxi, "Fuzhen, I hope I am not disturbing you at work? I heard from Director Yin that the shipping fee of Hanjin Shipping, a subsidiary of Galaxy Group, has been raised recently?"

Li Fuzhen suddenly had an idea, and a cunning look appeared on her face. "Yes, this is what Junfeng meant. Does the Five Star Group also need the cargo ships from Hanjin Shipping for transportation?"

Hearing his precious daughter's question, Li Jianxi's somewhat old face twitched. As expected, the only person who could come up with such a "bad idea" to let Hanjin Shipping increase the transportation fee during this period of time was Zhang Junfeng, a stinky boy. He was really too cunning! "... It's nothing, I just want to confirm with you. Since the transportation fee of Hanjin Shipping has been increased, let's follow the regulations. Cooperation between enterprises cannot be adjusted arbitrarily due to personal factors..."

Li Jianxi didn't care too much about this matter. Anyway, the Jeju Island project undertaken by their Five Star Group was small in scale, so even if there were some extra transportation costs, it wouldn't be a big deal. Anyway, the real profit came from the cooperation with Comet Capital and the construction project in Longguo. As for Jeju Island? It was more of an attitude, just to show the senior executives of the Blue House!

…

A few days later, a piece of news attracted the attention of middle and high-level officials in the Goryeo political and business circles. SK Group and Yuetian Group announced successively that they had successfully won the construction order for the Jeju Island project from Lehman Brothers, which surprised many people.

Zhang Junfeng from Comet Capital smiled meaningfully after hearing the news. "I originally wondered which faction was behind this guy Shin Dongbing. I didn't expect it to be so obvious now!"

Since knowing that Choi Tae-won of SK Group and Shin Dong-bing of Yuetian Group were colluding, Zhang Junfeng has paid special attention to the movements of these two people and the companies behind them. Now it just happened that they both took over the Jeju Island project that Lehman Brothers spent a huge amount of money on. If there is no trick, he would never believe it!

If he remembered correctly, he seemed to have had a conflict with Peter Fuld, a senior executive of Lehman Brothers, at Nacho Morgan's celebration party two years ago?

If it was really him, then it seemed that many things would be right~! Just like the saying goes, "There are no eternal friends, no eternal enemies, only eternal interests"! It's just that they overestimated themselves and seriously underestimated the strength of Comet Capital. He was also very curious. When the Jeju Island tourism project was completed and accepted, and the result was that the income was far less than the output, would these guys regret their original decision? !
