In the evening of the same day, Lee Kwang-woo met with Cho Chong-hoon of Hanjin Group, the founder and helmsman of another South Korean consortium.

If the seventies and eighties were the era of Kim Woo-jung, then the nineties were definitely the era of Cho Chong-hoon, the largest accumulation of funds was the military trade and transportation carried out by the United States and Vietnam in the war.

At present, Hanjin Group is the absolute hegemon of South Korea's transportation, whether it is Hanjin Shipping in terms of shipping, or Korean Air, the largest civilian airline in South Korea, they are firmly in the top position in the same industry in South Korea.

Hanjin Heavy Industries is also not underestimated in the shipbuilding industry, Hanjin Group is definitely one of South Korea's hegemon-level consortia, and Hyundai and Daewoo can compete with it, and the current Samsung is afraid that it is not yet qualified.

Lee Jian-hee's era is still in the future, and now he can't compare with Cho Chong-hoon, Kim Woo-jung, and Jung Joo-yong.

Born in 1920, although Zhao Chongxun is already sixty years old, his spirit is still very energetic, and the whole person looks like he is in his fifties, and he can't tell that this is an old man who is over the age of six.

In the reception room, after sitting down with Zhao Chongxun, Li Guangyu said: "Mr. Zhao, I am very happy to be able to meet you, over the years, for various reasons, I have never met with you, and today I have finally eliminated some regrets in my heart. ”

There are still some reasons why Li Guangyu and Zhao Chongxun did not meet, and Zhao Chongxun is different from Zheng Zhouyong, Li Jianxi, and Kim Woo-jung, and the Hanjin Group, which started by transporting materials for the US military, has been greatly influenced by the internal influence of the United States.

The Lee consortium and the Japanese consortium are engaged in fierce competition with major American consortia and enterprises in the U.S. market, and the Hanjin Group is obviously unwilling to participate in the competition with the United States.

At present, there is not much cooperation between Hanjin Group and the Li consortium, but the competition is greater, and several major shipping groups of Hanjin Group and Xiangjiang are in a competitive situation, such as Li Guangyu's Wheelock Shipping Company, and his father-in-law Cao Wenjin's Wanbang Shipping.

In terms of aviation, although they both belong to the Star Alliance, they also compete with each other, but it is relatively reduced, and there are only a few routes to South Korea that compete with Korean Air.

This time Zhao Chongxun came, Li Guangyu also couldn't figure out what his intentions were, and the current relationship with the Li consortium is okay, Li Guangyu has met several times, mainly Zheng Zhouyong, Li Jianxi, Jin Yuzhong, they also have a joint venture between the new Yigeji Iron Mine and Yingya Investment Company, all partners.

The relationship between Hanjin Group, Lotte Group and him is very general, and the competition is greater than the cooperation, especially the Lotte Group, in the Korean supermarket retail, the competition between the two sides is not small.

If the past ten years in South Korea have been the era of Kim Woo-jung, then the Xiangjiang side is definitely the era of Lee Guang-woo, and even the whole of Asia is his era.

Over the years, Zhao Chongxun has heard the deeds of this young man no less than dozens of times, the son of God, the goddess of destiny guards, a young genius, a legendary young man,......

This series of praise is on the head of the young man in front of him, and there has never been anyone in the world who can compare with this, and its Li consortium has become one of the top consortia in Asia in just eight years, spanning finance, real estate, electronics, retail, media and other industries.

I came to meet with Lee Guangwoo this evening, hoping to befriend Lee Guangyu and avoid the Hyundai Group and the Lee consortium from suppressing the Hanjin Group.

They are also highly competitive in South Korea, with several major conglomerates overlapping in multiple industries, and each of them hopes that their industries can monopolize the Korean market.

Although his own side has good relations with the United States, and has deep relations with the U.S. military, these are not enough to ensure the safety of the Hanjin group.

If the Hyundai Group had received the full support of the Japanese Foundation and the Lee Foundation, it would be very likely that the Hanjin Group would not be able to withstand such pressure.

Zhao Chongxun said: "Mr. Li, I have already heard your name and deeds, and I am very honored to be able to meet with you. ”

In the conversation that followed, Zhao Chongxun proposed cooperation in aviation, especially hoping to establish a joint venture with Heung Kong Aircraft Engineering Company at Seoul Airport to establish an aircraft maintenance company.

Lee Kwang-woo himself did not want to be involved in the struggle of the South Korean consortium, which is more beneficial to cooperate with Korean Air and Xiangjiang Airlines.

Since the relationship between the two sides is not too familiar, so at present, it is only a cooperation, and other cooperation depends on the future development.

After all, the foundation of trust has not yet been established between the two sides, and this cannot be built at once.

After sending Zhao Chongxun away, Li Guangyu said to Gan Qin: "You inform Zhao Wenhua and ask him to arrange for the chairman of the Heung Kong Engineering Company to come to Seoul to discuss with Korean Air to establish a joint venture aircraft maintenance company." ”

Gan Qin responded: "Li Sheng, I'll go and contact Zhao Sheng." ”

Gan Qin knows that on the South Korean side, the Lee consortium is afraid that there will be no chance to establish its own base, and the main routes here are monopolized by Korean Air, and neither the South Korean government nor the Hanjin Group will allow Heung Kong Airlines to open routes with this as the main hub.

At present, Heung Kong Air Transport Group has established its own bases in Xiangjiang, Taoyuan, Kuala Lumpur, Bangkok, Vancouver and Heathrow airports, with these airports as the main hubs, opening up routes to many cities around the world.

Heungjiang Airlines will also establish civil aviation bases in Brazil and a city in Eastern Europe as its main hub airport, so that the layout of Heungjiang Airlines is basically perfect.

As for the African side, Gan Qin is not quite clear about Li Guangyu's plan, after all, the African side is not very peaceful, and the dispute between South Africa and Angola has not yet been resolved.

After Gan Qin left, Lee Kwang-woo was thinking about the relationship between these Korean conglomerates, just like the Japanese conglomerates and the American conglomerates, and the Korean conglomerates were fighting each other.

It really responds to the old saying, where there are people, there is fighting, and the reason why Xiangjiang is not so fierce at present is mainly because the strength of the Li consortium is too strong, and the strength of these families is far from being comparable to the Li consortium.

In addition, the Xiangjiang area is too small, and there is no heavy industry, and it used to be the world of the British-funded consortium for a long time, so that these families are relatively united.

In addition, with the Bank of Hong Kong as the center, many top families in Xiangjiang are linked together, so there is no such situation.

These consortia in South Korea are different, they are all about the same strength, and they overlap in some major industries, for their own interests, they hope that the other party will go bankrupt as well, so that they can smoothly take over the other party's market.

For example, Daewoo Heavy Industries, Hanjin Heavy Industries, and Hyundai Heavy Industries, all three are involved in the shipbuilding industry, Daewoo Group is also aimed at the automotive industry, and Daewoo Automobile is the main opponent of Hyundai Group in South Korea.

In terms of the construction industry, Hyundai, Samsung, and Daewoo are also competing for each other's markets.

At present, the Lee consortium and the South Korean consortium are still mainly based on cooperation, and competition will be a problem after many years, and Lee Kwang Woo now has to think about which ones are more beneficial to the Lee consortium to cooperate with.
