Chapter 34: The Gathering of Storms

Lao Tan cuisine is the capital's premier gathering place of dignitaries, it is both a signboard, but also the name of the store, named after the surname inherited by the owner, the ancestor was once the imperial chef in the Forbidden City, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, he also relied on this craft, and the place where the dragon and the tiger were hidden in the capital was also mixed with smooth sailing.

At least the unspoken rules in the secret can't reach a certain level of officials and rich businessmen, and they can't even enter this door.

Even eligible dignitaries who want to taste the essence of Lao Tan cuisine need to reserve seats several days in advance, after all, some key ingredients are not available anytime and anywhere.

However, for Nie Zhiping, the minister of the state security department, this is just a matter of one sentence, because neither of the two sides who are about to meet here today is a small person, if it is not because he is worried that his headquarters is too strict, otherwise, he will invite both sides to the headquarters to discuss.

"Mr. Li, I brought it to you, and it depends on your own ability to talk about what it looks like." Nie Zhiping personally went out and guided Li Mubai to a secluded and elegant private room, stopping and not entering.

Li Mubai nodded, "Don't worry, I know you don't want to be exposed, no matter what, this matter is on my shoulders, and it won't involve you." ”

Nie Zhiping nodded slightly, "That's the best, I'm outside, if you need anything, feel free to find me." ”

A discussion meeting against Samsung Group, as Nie Zhiping, as a security department of Huaguo, naturally has advantages and disadvantages, but at the very least, he is still vigilant, that is, Huaguo should not take the initiative to participate, anyway, no matter whether it wins or loses afterwards, the country's share will definitely not be less!

Looking at Nie Zhiping's distant figure, Li Mubai smiled, and didn't care too much, after all, now he still needs the help of the state to sweep away some obstructive spies, relying on him alone, even if he kills, it is impossible to stop the tracking of the Samsung Group, not to mention that it is impossible for him to take the initiative to expose his ability.

Pushing open the classical wooden door of the private room, the sound is very pleasant, obviously the process of this door is not what ordinary people can imagine.

When I entered the door, I saw a screen, through which I could see the faint figure swaying, and some voices of conversation also came into my ears one after another.

There are not many people in the house, but everyone's identity is extraordinary to the outside world.

Even Li Mengxi, who has lived in seclusion for more than 30 years, once briefly took charge of the huge Samsung Group, depending on a person's status, it depends on the friends he has made and the enemies he faces.

No matter how bad Li Mengxi is, he is also a thorn in the side of Li Kunxi, the current helmsman of Samsung Group, and he has a place in this business council for Samsung Group, after all, he is the most familiar with Li Jianxi.

Sitting with Lee Mengxi is Lee Jae-hyun, president of South Korea's Xijie Group, but at this time, his face is frosty, and he doesn't say a word, if it weren't for the fact that the faces of the two are really a little similar, no one may think that these two men are father and son.

Acting as lubricant across from the two are Harrigen, president of American Express, and Shigeru Goomoto, chairman of South Korea's LG Group.

In the past 2006, the group generated $72 billion in revenue, equivalent to one-third of Samsung Group, and its LG Electronics and Samsung Electronics are the biggest competitors.

Another reticent man in his place is Choi Tae-won, the chairman of South Korea's SK Group, who came out of prison only last year and was sentenced to three years in prison in 2003 on suspicion of an illegal stock trading and fraud case.

The grievances between this super group, which had an annual revenue of more than $60 billion in 2006, and the Samsung Group can be written as a capital war, and the two sides have fought countless times on multiple battlefields such as capital and securities.

The most fierce may be in 1996-1998, when Samsung Group was not the largest consortium in South Korea, and it could not cover the sky in South Korea, although it was better than SK Group, but there was another heavy weight on the balance of competition between the two, that is, Choi Tae-won's father-in-law, Roh Tae-woo, who was the president of South Korea at the time.

This is the reality of the world, and Chey Tae-won has the support of the president, who is not inferior to Samsung Group at the administrative level, and used this relationship to almost send Lee Kun-hee to prison in 1996, thus winning the war.

It's just a pity that SK Group didn't get what it wanted in the end, but Lee Kun-hee, who was more powerful, took advantage of the situation and reached a secret reconciliation with other consortia, and cooperated to oust Roh Tae-woo from the position of president, thereby supporting his presidential spokesperson Kim Dae-jung and turning the tables in one fell swoop!

Over the years, the unforgiving Samsung Group has been pressing step by step, which once made it difficult for Chey Tae-won, but fortunately, SK Group is one of the five largest conglomerates in South Korea, so it barely allowed Samsung Group to take the opportunity to annex it.

This time, under the mediation of top European and American consortia, these three bigwigs, who represent a quarter of South Korea's economic strength, gathered in Beijing in order to discuss a perfect plan that could overthrow the Samsung Group.

"Jae-hyun, I know that the most shameful thing I have been to you and your mother over the years, but you have to understand that if I return to South Korea and participate in the company's operation, then what awaits the entire Xijie Group will be the end of death without a place to bury." Li Mengxi always felt a little guilty when he faced his son, he should have been in Lee Jae-yong's position.

But because of his involvement, he was constantly suppressed by Samsung Group in South Korea, and even his life was not guaranteed.

Lee Jae-hyun doesn't know what kind of mentality to use to face his father, and if it's all resentment, it's not quite.

When his grandfather died, he didn't give his father any money, but he gave his mother, that is, as the eldest daughter-in-law, a share of Samsung Insurance and First Sugar, but this also attracted the peep and dissatisfaction of the third uncle Li Kunxi, and once forced their mother and son to almost go bankrupt.

But let him treat this father with a normal attitude, he was speechless, because since Li Mengxi lived in seclusion in the capital, the time for father and son to meet together was less than a week, and there was really nothing to talk about, if it wasn't for the other party's insistence on asking him to come over with him this time, there might not even be this father-son meeting.

"Alright, everyone, now that we're all here, let's cut to the chase." As the initiator and coordinator of this meeting, Halligen immediately got up when he saw Li Mubai's figure, wanting to take the lead, because he was the only one present who knew what kind of terrifying information advantage Li Mubai held in his hands, but the American consortium was unwilling to hand over the leadership easily, unless Li Mubai could ensure their benefits.

Li Mubai has no objection to this, because in his plan, there has never been a place for these people, and there will be no benefits afterwards.

But now they are needed, anyway, the meeting is hosted by the American consortium, they have the final say, and they also carry the black pot afterwards, anyway, under the premise of great cooperation, each of them will snatch it by their own means, and no one will help anyone for no reason.

"I believe that everyone present has recognized the identity of the other party, in this case, I will not introduce them one by one, after all, time is pressing, if we stay here for a long time, Samsung Group may be suspicious." Halligan gave a brief opening remark, and then turned the conversation directly to Samsung.

His demagogic voice kept ringing, "...... As we all know, Samsung Group has a competition with so many of our groups in South Korea and the global market, so if one day, Samsung Group is as divided as Hyundai Group, then the existing market, will not be allowed to be absorbed? ”

"Mr. Halligan, can you explain that? Like Hyundai Group, but as far as I know, Samsung Group has actually become the hall of words of the old man Lee Kun-hee, and no one can compete with them within their family anymore, and even in the third generation, the patriarchal Lee Kun-hee will never be able to re-stage a drama of heir war, looking at it this way, Lee Jae-yong's heir status is almost doomed! How could they be plunged into a civil war because of the question of inheritance. Cui Tae-won is a little curious, where did these American consortia get the confidence to overturn the high-flying Samsung empire in one fell swoop?

Gu Benmao also had a smile on his face, and his eyes kept turning back and forth between Halligen and Choi Tae-won, but unfortunately only Li Mubai was present who noticed this person's eyes, and in fact, he had never left his body, maybe he had discovered his own abnormality?

"It's like an old fox rolling around in the mall, I haven't spoken yet." Li Mubai smiled at him, and then turned to look at Choi Tae-won, who also gave him an unfathomable smile.

"Well, we already have a detailed plan for this, and our American consortium, a total of thirteen super multinational companies, has also launched a layout in foreign exchange, securities and South Korea's own stock market, and at a critical moment, it will launch a fatal blow to Samsung Group." Halligan said as he could, not at all doubting that the people on the other side would be involved in this opportunity.

Because Li Mubai will not stand idly by, he can see that this Oriental boy has always been unwilling to take the initiative to expose himself in front of the stage, so that the American consortium will have the opportunity to take the lead in the entire plan, so as to take the initiative in the distribution of benefits afterwards.

It's a pity that he underestimated the forbearance and patience of a few people on the other side, you must know that in South Korea, the Samsung Group can almost be said to cover the sky with one hand, after the split of the Hyundai Group, any other two consortiums joined forces, and they are not the opponents of the Samsung Group.

If it weren't for the sincerity of the American consortium that had already launched the layout, they would not even have this trip to Huaguo Beijing.

Seeing that the other party was not fooled, a trace of imperceptible sadness flashed on Halligan's face, this shouldn't be!

According to the plan of the United States, as long as their plans are revealed, these companies that have a feud with the Samsung Group will attack them en masse, after all, it involves tens of billions of dollars of resistance, and as long as the deployment is in place, even if it does not meet expectations, it will achieve hundreds of millions or even billions of dollars in benefits.

It's a pity that they have underestimated the helmsmen of these large companies that have been in South Korea for twenty or thirty years without failing, if it is only economic gains, how can the bigwigs of these consortiums make rash moves, and their own layout of the Samsung Group is also unfolding, it is impossible to rashly startle the snake because of the problem of money, they are seeking the opportunity to surpass the Samsung Group in one fell swoop, rather than the small economic profits.

If there is no chance to crush the Samsung Group in one fell swoop, they will never act rashly, after all, what can the American consortium do if they chase money and offend the Samsung Group? Far away in the United States, they are not afraid of Samsung's retaliation at all, but LG and SK Group are in South Korea, once the Samsung Group is relieved, the two sides will be in an endless war.

Seeing that things did not develop as he expected, Halligan was helpless, so he could only hit Li Mubai with a look for help, hoping that the latter could take on some of his responsibilities a little.

"Okay then, let me tell you why you have to join this war this time, because I can bring you the benefits of the entire Samsung Group!" Li Mubai stood up with a sneer, propped up the table with his hands, and looked down at everyone present.

The domineering momentum and the tone that cannot be refused once made the hearts of these bigwigs who controlled the entire consortium angry, but as the last sentence fell, everyone's minds were confused, and there was always a little disbelief in Li Mubai's eyes, and even gave birth to the illusion that this person was a madman.

How could Li Mubai lie, he threw an illustrated document on the table with a "snap", "Don't doubt my strength, since I dare to come to you, I have a comprehensive plan!" I know what you're arranged, but I want to tell you that another president can only temporarily suppress Samsung, and what I'm going to do is to completely divide the entire Samsung Group from the inside, so that they no longer have the strength to threaten everyone here, are you interested? ”

This is exactly the result that several groups dreamed of, but they were a little incredulous for a while, and they all stared at Li Mubai with shocked eyes.

Only Li Mengxi, who knew his whole plan, smiled bitterly at this, but still gave his son a reassuring look signal, and the latter was silent!
