Chapter 301: Smashing the Car (Part I)

In the reception room, Kim Jong-ming sat motionless, while Lee Jae-bin stood opposite him and stammered, as if he didn't know how to respond, as for the rest, they had already hid far away. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Mr. Lee. Jin Zhongming sneered. "I said that you are in Cao Ying, and your heart is in Han, is that right? Don't tell me that this matter is not at the behest of your good brother......

"I thought you knew. Li Zaibin finally opened his mouth, but he was obviously a lot more careful when he spoke. "At that time, when "New World" was launched, I came publicly, and when I saw that you didn't react, I chose someone, and later arranged Lee Jung-jae to Baek Chang-so's company and didn't hide it from anyone......

"So I'm making a big fuss about this?"

"Me neither...... Until now, I really thought you knew it all. ”

"But the problem is that I don't know. Jin Zhongming interrupted the other party impatiently. "And I don't know from beginning to end...... And more importantly, do you know it?"

"What do you know?" this time it was Lee Jaebin's turn to be confused.

"A few days ago, Zhao Lianghao's old bastard came to me and said that he wanted to say something to me on behalf of whom, and one of them was that I was involved in your Li family's family affairs!" Jin Zhongming said this, and his stomach was nameless. "At the time, I thought they were referring to the fact that I took in your sister and brother when I bought it, and I forced it back!

Lee Jae-bin stammered again, not knowing what to say.

"Is that brother of yours at the end of his rope?" Jin Zhongming continued to sneer. "I actually used such indiscriminate means......"

"He was dying from the start. Speaking of this, Li Zaibin, who is a child of the Li family, let go, after all, he has seen too many things in this kind of business. "But in any case, this matter was indeed privately handled by him on his behalf. And I'm just a wage earner now, you're the boss, I didn't think I caused you trouble, but since I've caused you trouble, I have nothing to say......"

"CJ Pictures and cube's film production and investment industries will merge!" Kim Jong-myung said abruptly. "I still have to borrow CJ's brand image for many years, so it's better to think that CJ Pictures has annexed this side. ”

Lee Jae-bin gritted his teeth, he knew that things couldn't be so simple.

"But Representative Kim Young-seok and Representative Jang Eun-hyuk have been performing very well before, and they must be compensated. Jin Zhongming squinted at the other party and said. "I'm going to let him go to the theater as my representative director, and I'm going to let him go to CJ Pictures as my representative director, and you will then be your CEO or president to handle the day-to-day work, so you don't have to delay...... Well, you're okay with that, right?"

"Nope. ”

Li Zaibin knew that the other party had sent an expert henchman to be the supervisor, but at this time, in this atmosphere, as the president and second largest shareholder of the company, he couldn't say anything...... In fact, he also knew that the other party was already very affectionate in doing this.

"It's good if there are no comments. Jin Zhongming mocked lukewarmly. "CJ Pictures has long been a representative producer of Korean films, and it has long been recognized by the domestic and foreign markets, and I can't even change my name after I bought it, and no one dares to arrange one. ”

"Not really. "Lee Jae-bin has words of suffering.

"If not, then I won't make any additional adjustments this time. Jin Zhongming Huo Ran got up and said. "Do a good job, President Lee has been as stable as Mount Tai in CJ Pictures for decades, and the company has been developing properly in your hands, I hope you can do it well in the future!"

"Yes!" Li Zaibin replied bitterly, and then found that the other party seemed to be preparing to leave, but he couldn't help but ask. "What about that?"

"What should I do?" Kim Jong-ming was once again confused.

"One is the public relations of the Big Bell Award this time......" Lee Jae-bin pointed to the elevator entrance.

"You can do this, but you must remember that we have a clear conscience and put on a good posture!"

"And one more ...... How should Lee Jung-jae's matter be ended?" Lee Jae-bin continued to ask with a helpless face.

"What's the end?" Jin Zhongming sneered. "I've taken Samsung, LT, and SK back together, how can I end it? Let Lee Jung-jae film well and squeeze more residual value from him!"

"That's all there is to it. ”

"Pick up Lee Jae-yong's plate...... Lee Jung-jae is going crazy to revive his family!" Kim Jong-myung muttered something, but did not choose to go back to the office, but walked directly past Lee Jae-bin towards the elevator......

What are you going to do when you go out at this time? Li Zaibin was full of doubts.

Of course, there is something important to do, and in other words, Kim Jong-ming already had an important meeting today, and if it hadn't been for the long delay in this matter, he would have gone a long time ago.

Walking downstairs, Kim Jong-ming pulled out the Hyundai car he had used to park in the front row of the company's front parking lot and drove straight towards Yeouido. The person he met this time was actually an old acquaintance, SK Chairman Chey Tae-won.

The SK headquarters on Yeouido Island stands out from the crowd on the banks of the Han River, and if it weren't for the fact that the surrounding area is full of SK Group's own employee housing area, Kim Jong-myung's movie, which was still working on special effects, might have been changed to blow up the SK headquarters.

However, it is useless to talk about this now.

When the Hyundai car arrived in front of the SK headquarters building, Kim Jong-myung habitually did not choose the underground parking lot, and after a little look, he found a vacant space in the open-air parking lot in front of the building, and parked it directly. To be honest, probably because this Hyundai car has been driven for seven years, the so-called fifty percent of the new statement can't hold up, this car is in stark contrast to the surrounding luxury cars and new cars, so several security guards in front of the SK building immediately surrounded them sensitively when they saw this.

However, when they saw the person getting out of the car, they immediately and wisely returned to their posts...... After all, there are very few Koreans who don't recognize that face.

The same is true for the front desk, the same is true for the elevator lady, Kim Jong-myung simply brushed his face all the way to the front of Choi Tae-won's office, and then met the first person who took the initiative to come over to talk - Choi Tae-won's cousin, Choi Chang-won, vice president of SK headquarters, and Choi Chang-won had an unusually enthusiastic attitude.

Frankly, Kim Jong Ming's enthusiasm for this kind of enthusiasm is actually understandable, because feng shui takes turns...... This is a very different time than it was three or four months ago.

In other words, Facebook just went public more than four months ago, but its stock price stagnated due to shareholders' aggressive sell-outs, which was completely lower than market expectations. In that case, not to mention that the company is still regarded as the next Google, the market is even generally bearish in this contrast of expectations, and Facebook's market value has been declining for a while. At the same time, in order to forcibly acquire CJ and Meijia, Kim Jong-ming transferred a large amount of cash from the United States in a short period of time, and for this, as an Asian, he had to pay a large amount of money to pay taxes, which can be regarded as paying protection money to the US government, which was barely possible.

However, after adding up the two by two, although the acquisition of theaters and TV stations was successful, Jin Zhongming's worth directly shrank by one-fifth...... As a result, the people who looked down on Jin Zhongming during that time also had a lot of them. To put it mildly, even Yang Xianshuo's impatience may not have smelled something from the air, but this guy thinks too highly of himself...... No matter how unstable Jin Zhongming is, there is a generation difference with him, and the two sides are not at the same level at all, so they ended up like this!

Back to the topic, in short, it was probably because of the uncertain future of Facebook, and Kim Jong-myung himself also felt a little in trouble, of course, it may have been because the two of them were a little angry in Hannam-dong...... SK's chairman, Chey Tae-won, simply stopped the previous share swap agreement and put on a cold look.

However, after only four months, now Kim Jong Ming has really taken off after hiding and making a TV series and a movie!

First of all, Facebook, after the initial stock market volatility, people immediately found that the company's website is still the third largest website in the world, regardless of how the stock market is performing, and the business is expanding rapidly, people's enthusiasm for visits has not diminished in the slightest, and after the summer financial statements came out, market confidence was not said to have recovered quickly, but at least stabilized...... In other words, for Internet companies, as long as market confidence comes back, then everything is easy to say, and Facebook's market capitalization has indeed slowly stabilized at about $100 billion recently.

Second, Mr. Kim's acquisition has proven not to be an unprofitable investment.

In other words, this kind of thing in Korean cinemas is not based on the confidence of investors, but on something more direct...... Every kind of ticket sold by any theater or movie theater will appear on the network of the Film Promotion Committee in real time, and even financial statements can be saved!

And it is strange to say that the Korean film market has been in a half-dead state before Kim Jong-myung's acquisition, and after his acquisition, the previous film market crash that began in 08 has also come to an end, and it has ushered in a new round of prosperity of the entire Korean film.

Meijia and CJ were originally independent listed companies, and Kim Jong-myung has not touched them since the acquisition, and he has not even changed his name, but with the popularity of "League of Thieves" and "Two-Faced King", the market value of these two theaters has not only not fallen after the acquisition, but has risen...... If you really keep this state for another two or three months, you can see that you can get back the money that Jin Zhongming spent on the IRS before!

This is where Kim Jong-myung's confidence in mocking Cho Yang-ho at that time lies! This is also where he took the initiative to come to Choi Tae-won today to 'get something'!

"What are you going to ask me for, what are you going to take?"

No wonder Cui Changyuan blocked it just now, it turned out that Cui Taiyuan was not in the office before, he just rushed back from somewhere, but as soon as he came back, he was a little dazed before he put down his coat.

"Slip of the tongue. Jin Zhongming quickly shook his head. "I'm actually here to deliver something......"

"What's that for?" Choi Tae-won sat down with a wary face, and at the same time motioned to the other party to be casual. "I thought you were going to talk to me about business, so I stopped the meeting and hurried over to meet you...... Isn't it a matter of stock exchange? That matter can actually be talked about well, and a company with a market value of 100 billion dollars is really worth a try......

"I'm here to talk about business, but not to exchange, but to send. Jin Zhongming casually sat down with Cui Changyuan, who had a good conversation before. "Because this business is like giving it away for nothing to you......"

Choi Tae-won laughed dryly, obviously sneering at this: "Zhong Ming, as a senior in the business field, I will teach you one thing, that is, pies will never fall in vain in the sky! At least, I have been the chairman of SK for 15 years, and I have been in business for 30 years, but I have never encountered a business that is like giving away for nothing!"

Jin Zhongming smiled lightly, without the slightest sense of anger: "But senior, since 05, although I have only been in business for about 7 years, I have encountered a lot of business that seems to be given away for nothing, what is going on, do I have a destiny?"

Choi Tae-won and his cousin's deputy were stunned for a moment, but they didn't know how to refute it.

Now, with the rise of a $100 billion market value company, it's no secret that Kim Jong-ming got in touch with Facebook — he happened to have a domain name that overlapped with Facebook, and then a business that should have been a few hundred thousand dollars turned into an all-out investment because of a transatlantic phone call and two young people's speculation.

In the end, the guy got a multi-billion dollar return!

Therefore, no matter what the truth is here, with such a high rate of return, Jin Zhongming said that it was pie in the sky that hit him, and it was really speechless.

"Chairman Choi. Seeing that the other party was stunned, Jin Zhongming suddenly put away his smile again. "In fact, pies are falling from the sky at any time, the key is to set up a good position and make sure that you stand under this pie, so that you can grasp the business ...... for free"

"That's how you explain it...... It still makes sense. Choi Tae-won nodded convincingly. "After all, this requires keen observation and some decisiveness, and it can be regarded as a certain degree of hard work...... Did you try at that time?"

"Of course!" Jin Zhongming nodded seriously. "Although the "Social Network" movie is a bit biased, some of the plots in it are real and believable...... First, at that time, Facebook was in civil unrest, and Mark's first goal was to get rid of partners, second, he wanted to gain supremacy within the company, and third, he really needed investment to adjust the shareholding structure. With all these factors combined, why didn't I, an Asian who was no threat to him, come up and tell him that I didn't want voting rights, but I was willing to gamble with him with all my assets, why didn't he accept my investment?

"That's just as well. Choi Tae-won nodded again with a little irritation, obviously not having much interest in this kind of inspirational story. "Count me too much just now, what business do you have to discuss, we can continue to ......"

"Actually, my vision is not limited to this investment. Kim Jong-ming twisted his head, but looked at Cui Changyuan, who was accompanying him, and looked like that, he didn't mean to talk about business with Cui Tae-won at all, but seemed to be completely immersed in boasting. "Do Chairman Cui and Vice President Cui know how my e-commerce started?"

"I really don't know this!" Choi Tae-won was a little annoyed.

"I've heard a little bit of this. Cui Changyuan glanced at his cousin who was a little wrong in his mood in confusion, but he took the initiative to echo Jin Zhongming. "I heard that I was looking at the gap in Korean e-commerce, and then I used the network of Jet Li, who I met during filming, to catch up with China's richest man in Ma......"

"How can it be so simple?" Jin Zhongming seemed to think of something, and then shook his head again and again. "At the time, it looked like a white wolf with empty gloves, but in fact it was dancing on eggs...... If you're not careful, you'll never recover. ”

"When you say that, I remember. Choi Tae-won sneered, and even suppressed the nameless fire that rose when he saw the other party. "To tell you the truth, your e-commerce was not scored by Samsung LT at that time, it's incredible!

"Of course there is!" replied Kim Jong-ming calmly. "I actually took advantage of the temptation and confrontation between the two types of e-commerce giants at that time, and I barely survived...... Does Chairman Cui know where the world's top five e-commerce companies are?"

Seeing that the other party was so serious, Choi Tae-won also became serious, and after a little thought, he gave the answer: "Two in China, two in the United States, and one in Japan...... I don't know exactly how it ranks. ”

"Yes. Jin Zhongming nodded affirmatively. "And this situation is determined by both the size of the economy and the political entity...... Not by chance. ”

"That's right. Cui Changyuan also nodded affirmatively. "There's no running for that. ”

"Who were the two sides of the confrontation?" Choi Tae-won continued.

"The U.S. and China, of course. Jin Zhongming laughed. However, the situation at that time is very interesting to talk about, obviously the United States and China are facing each other, but the battlefield is starting from South Korea and Japan. The attack was launched by the American e-commerce company, which was developing very vigorously at that time, specifically Amazon went to Japan, and eBay came to South Korea. At that time, I didn't want to ask if it was Japanese capital, but it was changed to South Korea, and it was Rakuten......"

"It's really ......," Choi Tae-won rubbed his eyes and recalled some of the circumstances at that time. "In 06, Amazon entered the Japanese market across the board, and eBay announced with great fanfare in South Korea that it was going to open its Asian strategy, with a clear division of labor...... Or rather, the distribution of spoils is clear. ”

"Anyway. Jin Zhongming continued to laugh. "At that time, Lotte, which was supposed to face eBay in South Korea, was beaten at both ends, and as long as it focused on Japan, South Korea did not dare to directly start a war with eBay. Therefore, at this time, I found Alibaba, which was breaking up, but there was indeed Japanese capital, and told them in front of Masayoshi Son and Ma Shoufu that I, a Korean, could use the Taobao franchise model to open a Korean e-commerce platform in South Korea...... This is what it means to be willing to be a pawn. ”

"Then, the Amazon won on the Japanese side, and the Sino-Japanese alliance won on the other side?" asked Cui Changyuan tentatively.

Jin Zhongming nodded and shook his head again, "It's good that Amazon won on the Japanese side, but it was not Alibaba or Son Masayoshi who won on the South Korean side, let alone Lotte, but South Korea's nationalism...... South Korean nationalism has brought eBay to the ground. ”

The Cui brothers suddenly realized, but they couldn't help but laugh together.

"We Koreans, it's really interesting!" Choi Tae-won shook his head with a smile. "Nationalism is a good thing......"

"yes. Jin Zhongming also raised his eyebrows playfully. "So I said I said dancing on eggs, that's what I meant, and after I put up a shelf with the Chinese model and the American team of professional managers, I saw that the development was good, and then in fact, everyone wanted to eat me. But before eBay touched me, it was made impossible to show by South Korea's ethnic resistance; Alibaba's side couldn't eat me because of the isolation of the Internet and the political structure; Samsung and Hanjin didn't care about any nationalism, but even if they wanted to eat me in one bite, they were hindered by the tigers of China and the United States; as for Lotte, there were some concerns in all aspects...... In the end, I survived and developed in this strange confrontation. Of course, after ebay completely failed in the Korean market, I immediately gave Samsung, Lotte, and Hanjin some profits, and it was not until the size of Facebook grew up in the past two years that it could be regarded as really getting rid of the existential crisis, standing on the territory of Korean e-commerce, and even taking advantage of the chaos in Japan to reach out. ”

"When I said that, I was completely convinced. Choi Chang-won also echoed again. "At the end of the day, it looks like a pie in the sky on the outside, but in fact it requires excellent timing and efforts to maintain some specific conditions......"

"But has Vice President Cui ever thought about it the other way around, if you can maintain some specific conditions and find the right time, you can still encounter pie in the sky. Jin Zhongming suddenly grabbed the other party's handle, but he was a dagger. "Now I have a great opportunity derived from my e-commerce, and under certain conditions, as long as SK and Samsung are willing to cooperate with me, that big pie will naturally be baked!"

"What do you mean?" asked Choi Tae-won, who was sitting behind his desk, in a deep voice.

"Has Chairman Choi heard of mobile payment and third-party payment platforms?" Kim Jong-myung did not hide anything.

Choi Tae-won's heart moved, and then he couldn't help but open his mouth, wanting to say something but didn't know where to start: no wonder the other party told him about his e-commerce history for a long time, no wonder the other party was so fearless, no wonder he wanted to come to himself, no wonder the Chosun Ilbo was advocating a new direction of e-commerce every day before, no wonder ......

"President Cui, I'm going straight to the point. Jin Zhongming spread his hands, but he was a dagger. "First, how much potential is there for this business to be done well, you should understand, if it really happens, we will be like having an extra bank of our own! Second, this matter can only be done by Koreans, or it can only be done by me, the largest e-commerce company in South Korea, you, the largest telecommunications operator in South Korea, and Samsung, the largest mobile phone manufacturer in South Korea.

Choi Tae-won opened his mouth, but still didn't speak.

"Second brother!" Cui Changyuan couldn't help but urge.

"This matter still needs the protection of the government!" Choi Tae-won finally thought of what he wanted to say.

"I've done this well. Jin Zhongming replied calmly.

"Did you say hello to Ms. Park?" asked Choi Tae-won in surprise, but then he immediately shook his head. "Now Advisor Wen is chasing very closely, and it is not yet known who will kill the deer next month! What should I do if I make a mistake?!"

"I didn't look for Ms. Park. Jin Zhongming replied dryly. "I'm looking for Mr. Lee Niu, the current Commander of South Korea, who has been busy with this matter for the past few days, and I won't tell you, Chairman Choi, that I have obtained the approval and authorization of the government, and it will only be announced to the public tomorrow......

Choi Tae-won didn't know what to say again, because his mind was messing up again.

"Chairman Choi, don't be troublesome about me. Jin Zhongming urged again. "I know that Chairman Choi was regarded as a thorn in the side of the Dish Cook Party because of his wife, and your uncle was married to the Director of Intelligence, which caused your Choi family to be extremely disgusted by the conservative forces on Ms. Park's side. I also know that Samsung is in the midst of civil unrest and has no time to do this. So I've done it well, and that's why I'm coming to you. All you have to do now is just nod your head, and then visit your friend Vice President Lee Jae-yong, and everything will be fine. Then you can sit here and wait for the big pie to fall and choke yourself to death. ”

"Second brother!" Cui Changyuan urged anxiously again.

"Zhong Ming, please go back first!" Unexpectedly, Cui Tae-won waved his hand fiercely. "I still need to think about it, and I'll contact you when I have the results......"

Jin Zhongming was not in a hurry or angry, but really got up and left, Cui Changyuan was speechless but had to hurry up, and reluctantly stopped the other party at the elevator entrance: "Zhong Ming, don't think too much, in fact, my second brother has already approved your plan, but he just needs time to clear his mind......"

"I know. Jin Zhongming nodded. "However, he should still hold a grudge against me for not saving his face in Hannam-dong that time, so he is a little embarrassed to face, and Vice President Choi will persuade him more......"

Cui Changyuan nodded, watched the other party get on the elevator, and then ran back in a hurry, trying to persuade his second brother again.
