Chapter 237: The Betrayer (I)

One night of jade exquisite, oblique water in the middle of the moon. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info small line of lonely shadow movement, for fear of frightening dreams.

On April 23, Jin Zhongming didn't wake Chu Long at all, but got up alone very early, because today is another Monday, and he still has an episode of "RunningMan" to record.

Well, as for where Zheng Ermao is, to be honest, Jin Zhongming has forgotten about it, and he can't lose such a big person anyway. As for rubbing Lee Jae-seok's nanny car, he didn't care about some ridiculous news about him and Yooli swiping the screen everywhere...... Otherwise, Chu Long knew who he was with last night.

So, life is actually so simple and casual.

However, for some of those who are in trouble, this Monday has become especially unbearable, because Monday itself means that something is back in rhythm.

"Jin Zhongming reached another deal in the United States yesterday, it is still the same, not waiting for the listing, fighting for some losses, but also to cash out Facebook shares, it is conceivable that as soon as the stock market opens, our CGV cinema is estimated to be publicly raised again. "This is the regular breakfast meeting of CJ executives that has been going on for more than half a month, and everyone in the conference room is listening to some briefings while eating breakfast produced by their own company.

It is worth mentioning here that although this director Lee Mi-kyung also has the surname Lee, it is only a coincidence that he is actually the cousin of CJ Chairman Lee Jae-hyun, not the three-star Lee from Lee Jae-bin, Lee Jae-hyun, and Lee Jae-yong.

"I can't hold it anymore. Lee Jae-hyun and Lee Mi-kyung's common maternal uncle, Son Kyung-sik, who is also CJ's No. 2 person, immediately put down the cereal porridge and wiped his mouth. "Cash is a good thing, but in South Korea these days, there is absolutely no us among the companies that can fight with Kim Jong-ming for cash, billions of dollars, who can resist it? Not to mention that the situation is delicate now, and there is no possibility for banks and other companies to help. So purely from the point of view of business operation, it is necessary to either suspend the trading or give up!

As soon as these words came out, Li Zaixian, who was sitting in the first place, didn't say anything, and the following group of Sun Ah Li Ah's company executives immediately turned their heads to each other, but the general meaning was the same - that is, it was better to stop the reorganization and mix non-performing assets into it or something than to give up such a big plate.

Think about it, in South Korea, industry means everything, and CGV theaters have long been a healthy and profitable positive asset, not to mention the commercial value of this, from the private perspective of these people, how many family children can be placed in it? How many people can become the top of this society by virtue of the blood relationship of one parent?

If it really suddenly belongs to someone else, a radish and a pit, maybe someone here will fall out of the core layer, who is willing?

As a result, the discussion became more and more unified, and as for the so-called CEOs and professional managers, although they sat a lot, they did not say anything...... After all, it's a working boy, and you still have to have a working boy's consciousness.

"I'm against suspension!" came to the slap in the face while speaking, and someone really shouted this sentence openly to the two families, and although the voice was abrupt, it seemed to be neat.

After everyone followed the prestige and determined the owner of the voice, almost all the senior executives of CJ changed their faces abruptly, because it was a heavyweight who spoke, but he really had neither the surname Li nor Sun, but the surname Zheng.

In other words, the history of CJ Group has been said many times, and although Lee Byung-cheol, the founder of Samsung, kicked his eldest son out of the house, he gave his eldest daughter-in-law a share of the food industry that Samsung started. Then, with the support of his mother's family, or mainly with the support of Son Kyung-sik's old uncle, Lee Jae-hyun single-handedly developed the current CJ Group with this industry, and the company's basic plate is basically the son of the two families.

However, since it is a chaebol, CJ is also inevitably limited by the unique limitation of Korean chaebols, which is the complex and incapacitating industries for the sake of expansion. This kind of chaebol looks like a very imposing monster from a distance, but when you look closer, it is actually a patchwork of core industries.

So back to today's CJ Group, the assets of this chaebol are mainly concentrated in three large plates, the fundamental food industry and the pan-entertainment industry that is being robbed by Kim Jong-myung, both of which are under the control of the children of the Sun and Lee families. But there is another one, that is, the emerging game industry, although it nominally belongs to CJ, there is a person named Jung Hongjun who has huge influence and control over CJ's game industry.

In fact, how much ability and energy this Mr. Zheng has in the group can be seen from one place. In other words, in addition to Lee Jae-hyun, the chairman of CJ Group, there are three representative directors, namely Lee Jae-hyun himself, his uncle Son Kyung-sik, and the remaining one is naturally called Jung Hong-kyun.

In short, no one can ignore the existence and advice of this person, because this is the real major shareholder, and he has angered others and directly led the company off the big ship of CJ, what can you do?

"Why?" Lee Jae-hyun, who had been looking down and nibbling on bread with a tired face, finally opened his mouth with squinted eyes. "Lao Zheng has any ideas, just say it, everyone is their own people. ”

"Of course, because the suspension will do more harm than good!" Zheng Hongjun replied unceremoniously. "Suspending trading, mixing poison pills into it, or playing other financial means can certainly save CGV Cinemas for a while, but have you ever thought about it, doing so will greatly damage the confidence of the market and investors in our entire CJ!"

"But Representative Zheng. The 74-year-old old uncle Sun Kyung-sik looked around and knew in his heart that at this time, he could only talk to Lee Jae-hyun in person, and there was no room for others to intervene at all. "Our CGV cinema chain is profitable, and as soon as the financial statements come out, market confidence will eventually return. ”

"Representative Sun. Zheng Hongjun immediately refuted it. "You're talking about CGV cinemas, which are the terminal industry of cinemas with 600 screens and a lot of real estate, and it's the real economy, so of course it's fine. But I'm not talking about this at all, I'm talking about the fact that the suspension will affect CJ's other industries, specifically the game industry, which is especially affected by investor confidence...... At this time, all of a sudden, there is a clear financial problem with the parent company to which it belongs, what do investors think?"

"We don't have any financial problems. A director surnamed Sun cautiously interjected.

"Then why is the trading suspended?" Zheng Hongjun asked coldly.

The audience was silent.

"The logic is as simple as that. Jung Hong-gyun looked back at Lee Jae-hyun, who was sitting in the first place. "The suspension of trading will cause the market to have a lack of confidence in the entire CJ Group, and the industry is different from industry to industry, maybe the manufacturing industry and monopoly industries are not afraid of this, and maybe CGV Cinemas can really survive this, but the foundation of the emerging Internet companies is the confidence of investors, and it is very likely that our game industry will lose its competitiveness at the most critical moment. So I suggest that it is better to sell the CGV cinema chain directly to the other party, is there anything to it, in terms of industrial adjustment and business, didn't we sell the beverage industry in exchange for a monopoly on the whole line of sugar production? No one said anything, right? After all, trading is not the same thing as suspending trading......

Having said this, perhaps thinking that he was a little aggressive, Zheng Hongjun took the initiative to slow down his tone again: "Of course, this is because I am in charge of the game industry within the group, so I raised an objection to this, Chairman Li, you are the chairman, you can make a new decision from the perspective of the overall situation, but please be sure to consider everyone's opinions comprehensively." Everyone...... After all, it is for the good of the group. ”

"I see. Lee Jae-hyun struggled to squeeze out a smile. "I did receive Representative Zheng's opinion. ”

The breakfast meeting broke up unhappily, but seven or eight of Lee Jae-hyun's real henchmen stayed behind to drink tea. This is because they all know that whether it is to suspend or abandon CGV Cinemas, they actually need to make a decision as soon as possible. After all, if Jin Zhongming is allowed to complete the acquisition again and again in the stock market, it will be called a real joke!

"Zheng Hongjun is too unauthentic to do this. "The son of the Sun family who is in charge of CJ Cinemas is the first to fire. "Everyone has been in it for so many years, and now that you are encountering some difficulties, how can he stick a knife in his back?"

"The same cannot be said. "Son Kyung-sik is used to the wind and rain, and his nephew is always the most suitable for him to teach a lesson. "Representative Zheng is only talking about things after all, and he has been constantly withdrawing funds from the game industry in the previous period, and he has never complained, and he is still very stable in terms of right and wrong. ”

But it is precisely because of this that it is necessary to pay more attention to his opinion. Lee Jae-bin, who had been silent, softly echoed half a sentence, and he didn't know whether it was Sun Kyung-sik's approval or refutation.

"I understand. Lee Jae-hyun rubbed his somewhat unkempt hair. "What investor confidence and what position is stable are all false, it is nothing more than a stalemate until now, and there is still no hope of victory, the so-called military heart is floating, and the closeness is as close as Lao Zheng is vaguely dissatisfied, which is also human nature...... It's just that there are some people I can recall, refrigerate, and cut through the mess quickly, but such as Lao Zheng, the No. 3 person in the group, I can only choose to be tolerant and appeased. ”

Sun Kyung-sik nodded with satisfaction, his nephew did not have emotional fluctuations because of this incident, and still faced it with the most rational attitude, which is really very generous, and it is not in vain that he, the major shareholder of Samsung Life, has been following each other's father and son for decades.

"Is that going to sacrifice the CGV theater chain?" asked Lee Jae-bin, looking a little difficult.

"Don't worry. Lee Jae-hyun reluctantly comforted his distant cousin. "Open the door to do business, who is in the hands of the theater chain, as long as our film production is good, it is indispensable to schedule films......"

Li Zaibin took a deep breath and couldn't help but close his eyes, but he didn't say anything more, and Director Sun, who was in charge of CGV Cinemas, was even more silent.

"But what about TVN and FNC?" the others didn't speak, but Li Meijing was embarrassed to ask anyway. "As far as I know, Kim Jong-ming has vaguely reached some kind of tacit understanding with TVN's shareholders with official backgrounds, and they can wait for some change in the situation, and then they can directly join TVN...... For unlisted enterprises, internal shareholder mergers and acquisitions do not require the consent of other shareholders......"

"That's why I'm most afraid of Erwuzai!" someone sneered, and he didn't know what he had in mind.

"And MNET. Sun Kyung-sik also smiled wryly and shook his head. "It's human nature to have Long Wangshu, this time I ate CGV, next time I ate TVN, and then I ate MNET, it seems natural, do you really want to watch that young man swallow up all the small one-third of our company's industry?"

"So we need to talk to him. Lee Jae-hyun rubbed his fingers thoughtfully. "First, try to delay time, and second, let him give up Han Shenghao. ”

Sun Jingzhi's eyes lit up, but many of the second-generation children below who were in the prime of life couldn't help but either talk to each other or secretly look at each other.

In other words, although everyone came to this position by blood relationship, even if a pig has been training in this position for more than ten years, he can cultivate into Marshal Tianpeng, not to mention that these people are the best in their respective families...... The meaning of Lee Jae-hyun's plan is naturally easy to understand:

First of all, the winner and loser are still in Samsung, or Ren Taixi. Therefore, even if Jin Zhongming is allowed to eat it in such a bite, as long as he can drag it to the overall situation to win, it is really 'take mine and send it back to me, and spit it out if I eat mine'!

So it doesn't matter whether it is relying on the trading theater to show weakness or playing tricks with TVN or what, the meaning of delaying time is roughly like this.

The second, Han Seung-ho's question. The significance of this person is not a small FNC, after all, this kind of subsidiary is not worth mentioning in CJ's opinion, even CGV Cinemas and TVN TV have to grit their teeth and give up, and even MNET may be used as bait for Kim Jong Ming to gnaw, what is there to say about a FNC?

The key is, this man is the first deserter! He is the first two-and-five-boy! If he is not chopped to the ground, how can he stabilize the morale of the army, gather morale, and fight with the three-star again?!

In the final analysis, Lee Jae-hyun and Son Kyung-sik's perspective has always been on their unforgettable Samsung, Lee Jae-hyun is because of the father-son inheritance, with a long-cherished wish, and Son Kyung-sik is the major shareholder of Samsung Life from the beginning, and is the spokesperson of Lee Mengxi, they all dream of getting back 'what belongs to them'!

What about sacrificing some of CJ's properties for all of this?

So, Lee Jae-hyun instinctively thought of this plan, and Son Kyung-sik's eyes lit up. However, the 'young people' who started their careers at CJ are a little helpless, gloomy and irritable, because after a few decades, their generation has thought differently from their parents, and they don't have that kind of unforgettable feelings or bonds for Samsung or anything.

In fact, in this back-to-back battle, the only reason they support Lee Jae-hyun is to count on the other party to complete the prince's revenge, and their own people run to the three-star rising tide. However, more than two months after the start of the war, seeing that the situation has become more difficult instead of improving, these people will inevitably become more and more uneasy.

"What should I do if I lose?" Under the agitation of the mood, Li Zaibin finally couldn't suppress the sentence in his throat. "Big brother, you have to plan ahead!"

There was silence in the conference room, but unexpectedly, Lee Jae-hyun was not angry when he heard this, but indifferently picked up the teacup and took a sip, thinking that he was as smart as he was and had a trace of soberness in his heart.

"I've actually figured out that if I really lose, I'm going to go to jail with the kind of hatred I have on the other side. Lee Jae-hyun said without hesitation. "And the few of you must unite to help me, and also help Xianhao keep the foundation of CJ. ”

Lee Xianhao, the youngest son of Lee Jae-hyun, is also the most outstanding of his sons, only 22 years old this year, and studies in the United States all year round. As soon as this remark came out, everyone was in a complicated mood, but it was inevitable that the rabbit died and the fox was sad, and at the same time put away some superfluous thoughts. After all, it seems that Lee Jae-hyun is still sober and knows that protecting CJ's core company is fundamental to everyone's survival.

"First of all. Lee Jae-hyun straightened his face and explained solemnly. "Once I go to prison, I don't know how much it will cost to regain my free body, and I don't know how long it will take, but in order to maintain the basic overall situation of the company and suppress Jung Hongjun, I will need someone who can really control the situation here to take the helm for CJ no matter what. After a pause, Lee Jae-hyun turned his head to look at Son Kyung-sik. "When the time comes, I'm going to trouble your uncle to be the president. ”

Son Kyung-sik nodded unceremoniously, in his opinion, only after he gained the power of the chairman could he completely suppress Jung Hong-kyun, so that the big ship of CJ would not fall apart. And the children of the Sun family below are also pale, from their point of view, Sun Jingzhi is always the president, there is always nothing to say. As for the others, although they were helpless, they also understood that Sun Jingzhi's qualifications, connections, and status were there, and he was indeed the best candidate, or even the only candidate, so they all nodded fiercely.

"That's good. Seeing that everyone approved the plan without thinking, Lee Jae-hyun smiled with relief, thinking that even if it was a failure according to this trend, CJ would be able to pass it on to his son safely. "Then, in order to stabilize the authority of our Chairman Sun and ensure that he can subdue all those who have bad intentions inside and outside CJ, I will announce a general personnel adjustment, and you will have a number in your mind, and if it really comes to that point, I will make a formal appointment and dismissal according to this plan......"

Everyone sat up, and although it was only a cursory division of labor, the stakes were so high that they could not be serious.

In this way, Lee Jae-hyun announced some personnel division of labor one by one, and the general meaning is to start from the core enterprise of the food industry to the high-level position of the head office according to the level, and insert his henchmen step by step.

It is worth mentioning that Lee Mi-kyung, who is both Son Kyung-sik's nephew and Lee Jae-hyun's cousin, has obviously gained unprecedented importance because of his delicate position in the Son and Lee families, and is in charge of all CJ cultural industries as vice chairman and coordinator, and is not waiting for any 'if it fails', but is about to be formally appointed immediately, and gather resources as soon as possible to deal with the attack from Kim Jong-myung.

No one objected, which made Lee Jae-hyun feel even more gratified, and the stability of the rear was the basis for him to give it a go.

And that's it, and that's the end of the mini-meeting. Then Lee Jae-hyun was ready to get up and personally appease Jung Hong-kyun, Son Kyung-sik was ordered to appease the miscellaneous small shareholders and company managers, Lee Mi-kyung was the main and Lee Jae-bin was the deputy, and they were also ready to immediately go to Kim Jong-myung's side to talk about the transfer of the CGV cinema chain, and implement the countermeasures to delay the time and divide Han Seung-ho; the rest of them also took their own orders and dispersed one after another.

However, at this moment, an assistant who was already waiting impatiently outside the door also took advantage of the situation to rush in.

Lee Jae-hyun smiled bitterly, as if he had expected it: "Is it the stock market that has been raised again......?

"President. The assistant glanced at the people in the conference room, knowing that they were all the other party's henchmen, so he didn't hide it. "It's not just that one thing, just now, there was an official fax from CCM, and Kim Kwang-so proposed it, saying that he wanted to propose an internal equity acquisition to us as a major shareholder......

The entire conference room fell into silence again, and just as Han Shenghao was about to clean up, the second Erwuzai appeared...... That's right, after the incident just past, Kim Kwang-so is already recognized as a waste, but the problem is not here, but this kind of waste is actually double-minded, as a second or fifth boy, what about the third one? Will the third one appear? When will it appear? On the entertainment and cultural industry side, the situation has really collapsed to that point?

"Traitor!" Lee Jae-hyun swept the water glass in front of him to the ground like an angry lion, and the broken glass shards splashed all over the ground.

The gaffe is like this, because there is nothing to be done.
