In Seoul, the country of sticks, the blue-black sky gradually revealed the white of the fish's belly, and the morning light gradually deepened, gradually dyeing the sky red.

In the smoky dim study, the light of the desk lamp stretched the figure of Li Zaixian nestled in the boss's chair, hung up the phone, and Li Zaixian sighed helplessly.

Picked up the glasses on the desk and put them on, his bloodshot eyes flashed with resentment, and Lee, who looked very tired both in face and spirit, remembered the previous call with Andy Smith, and the expression on his face was also a little relaxed.

For the so-called second uncle, Li Zaixian has no respect, only hatred, since his mother exchanged shares and won the power struggle of CheilJedang, he successfully sat on the throne of the president of the Xijie Group, and the second uncle who controls the four-star group has not stopped suppressing the CJ Group.

Even if he was prosecuted for tax evasion and breach of trust this time, including legal and moral responsibility, he resigned and lost the four-star chairmanship, his ruthless third uncle Li Jianxi and his equally vicious son did not forget to pour dirty water on him to stop a very important merger of CJ Group.

In fact, for Li Jianxi, everyone knows that even if these charges are convicted, they will not pose a threat to him, and even if they are convicted, they will not really go to jail, unless the South Korean government is really crazy.

But he Lee Jae-chan was investigated first, that's another matter, and it's easy to be manipulated by the four-star Lee family, even if he is the president of CJ Group.

His investigation and the possible collapse of Korea Logistics' merger caused the share price of CJ Group to plummet, and there are signs that someone is shorting CJ's stock price.

Lee has already fought back, but in the shadow of the global financial crisis, South Korea's stock market has been deeply affected, and the general trend is falling, and even if he makes a large number of buybacks, he cannot alleviate the continuous downward trend.

Continuing to use a lot of cash will lead to a shortage of funds for the acquisition of Korea Logistics, and now that Lee Jae-yong bastard has also released the news that he will join the bid for the acquisition of Korea Logistics, it will undoubtedly make the acquisition of CJ more difficult.

Lee Jae-son needs good news to boost CJ Group's stock price and funds to complete the acquisition of Korea Logistics, and he has no trust in his country's capable chaebols who have the ability to become CJ Group, because most chaebols are inextricably linked to the four stars, and they may not be friends but enemies.

Lee Jae-xian first thought of Andy Smith, who has a strong background and strong funds, although Andy's reputation is indeed a bit criticized and guarded, but Lee Jae-xian is not afraid of it at all.

Because he has absolute control over CJ Group, more than 58% of the shares, and hardly has to worry about losing control of the group, the American investment community says that Andy Smith is a greedy and hungry wolf who can never be fed, but for Lee Jae-sien, he has no such concerns.

Andy Smith became an independent director of CJ Group, which has only benefits for him, not harm, and he needs a strong and reliable ally who only has interests to help him resist the hostility and suppression of the four-star group.

Of course, he needs to pay a certain price, such as cheap preferred stock and equity, board seats...

However, these are all worth it in Lee Jae-xian's opinion, thinking about the second uncle son who committed suicide in a miserable end, his cousin Lee Jae-chan, he has to be ready to fight...

In the South Bay Area of San Francisco, USA, the lush mountain and ocean views are draped in gold by the setting sun.

Andy called the New York think tank and asked them to immediately sort out the CJ Group information, go to the bathroom to rinse, change into a T-shirt and shorts, go into the study, turn on the computer, and wait for a video connection for a while.

In the previous phone call, Li Zaixian did not hide the difficulties he is facing now, and the advantages and advantages he hopes to get by introducing Andy Smith, an independent director, very frankly.

After listening to Lee Jae-son's words, Andy's only regret is that CJ Group has been completely separated from the four-star group system and has become an independent LI company, otherwise, this is undoubtedly a good opportunity to meddle in the four-star group system.

As for whether he will offend the four-star Li family, Andy has never cared about this issue, to be honest, if he wants to complete the last and largest harvest in this financial crisis, it is already a sure thing that he and the four-star will become opponents.

He had no interest in exploring the grievances and hatreds of the four-star group, and he gladly accepted the olive branch that Li Zaixian threw out, and sold it to him at a low price for 8 percent of the shares and the board of directors.

Ding——

Andy shook his mouse and clicked to accept the video connection request, and the black video window flickered, revealing Alvitatre's image.

"How?"

CJ Group is Korea's largest food company, and its subsidiaries are mainly CJ CheilJedang, CJ Home Shopping, CJ Investment & Securities, CJ Entertainment & Media。。。 It consists of 13 wholly-owned subsidiaries and listed subsidiaries.

Four business groups have been formed, including the Food & Beverage Business Group, the Biology & Pharmaceutical Business Group, the New Distribution Business Group, the Entertainment & Media Business Group, and the Infrastructure Business Group that is currently being formed.

In 1997, it officially spun off from the Four Star Group, and in 2006, it began to expand globally, accelerating its expansion to become a global company.

Last year, the group had total sales of $5.4 billion and was profitable1. 400 million US dollars, the total assets of the group are 4.96 billion US dollars, and the current market value is 3 billion US dollars.

At present, CJ Group has three major shareholders, with Group President Lee Jae-son holding 58% of the shares, the other two totaling 15%, and the secondary market accounting for 20% of the shares。。。。。。

Ranked 1,861 among the world's leading companies, the group is in the period of global expansion, and the think tank concluded that CJ Group is a high-quality industrial asset and is in favor of buying. ”

Hearing Al's report, Andy's eyes became brighter and brighter, and the corners of his mouth turned up more and more, "Hehe, it seems that Jen is really forced to be anxious this time, since he is so generous, I can only repay the favor, Al, you form a team, go to the stick country first, and start to contact CJ Group, I will arrive later, I hope that when the time comes, I only need to sign and pay." ”

"Good boss. At present, the stock price of Xijie's listed companies continues to fall, and it has been seriously undervalued, and there are signs that there is a suspicion of being suppressed by shorting, and there is room for operation. "Al wastes no time in suggesting.

"It's a good idea, let's move the footbasin team to Seoul, keep the action hidden, I don't want to be targeted by the Securities and Futures Commission of the stick country. Andy touched his chin and nodded, not forgetting to ask.

"Okay, I'll inform them right now... ”

Opinion video, Andy smiled at the corner of his mouth, his eyes squinted, and his fingers tapped quickly on the table, not knowing what he was thinking about.

"Ding-dong-"

Andy stretched out his hand and shook the mouse, clicked on the pop-up email icon, roughly browsed the materials sent by Li Zaixian, laughed twice, picked up the phone and dialed it out.

"Jon, has the weekly branch in Seoul tracked and collected the news of Li Jianxi of the Four Star Group?" asked Andy as he quickly checked some of the black materials exposed by the head of the legal team of the Four Star Group this time, as well as some black materials that Li Zai had mastered.

“。。。 Well, a few well, in this way, I'll send you a little bit of material in a moment, and you will personally write it and make the cover headline of Newsweek based on the material, highlighting Mr. Lee Jae-yong's assistance in transferring assets, as well as the lack of transparency and the high-powered strategic planning office within the Four Star Group. ”

After Andy conveyed his meaning to Jon Meacham, he emailed the materials he had viewed.

Thinking of Li Zaixian's helpless wry smile before, Andy also has an intuitive understanding of the status and influence of the four stars in the stick country, even if this scandal caused an uproar in the stick country, but in the stick country, the four stars have long controlled the media industry, and the mainstream media in the stick country are avoiding the important and light reports in order to guide public opinion.

However, since Lee Zaixian sent Andy a gift package, Andy naturally won't say nothing, since the stick son doesn't dare to report, let the American father report it.

Andy once again offered the big killer weapon of "Newsweek", which has exceeded 5 million copies in circulation worldwide, as a gift to Lee Jae-son, a 'good friend'!
