Chapter 533: The Future Finale
The sudden surprise stunned everyone, including Lee Jae-hyun's allies on the board. When Lee Jae-hyun looked at the other party dumbfounded, and his mind went blank for a while, one of the shareholders, who was a lawyer, stood up and accused the other party in a stern tone of how he could enter the board of directors of Samsung Group in this way and behave so rudely to the chairman of Samsung.
What's more, the shareholder who has the identity of a lawyer pointed out that Lee Jae-hyun had already assisted in the investigation of the car accident with the cooperation of the police, and if the police had conclusive evidence, they should also notify the board of directors of Samsung Group through the procedure before taking action.
"I'm sorry, we're not the police, and it's not the chairman of Samsung Group who was arrested today, but Lee Jae-hyun, the chairman of CI Group." One of the men glanced at everyone, replied, and then took out a document and shook it in front of everyone, and the sharp-eyed people were all stunned after seeing the badge on the certificate, and what was even more strange was that the other party also stated that the arrest was Li Zaixian, chairman of the CI Group, what is going on?
The answer doesn't need to be guessed, because the person who came soon revealed. When handcuffing Lee Jae-hyun, one of them announced that Lee Jae-hyun was guilty of embezzlement and embezzlement of company funds during his tenure as chairman of the CI Group, and the amount of tax evasion was as high as 15.2 billion won.
There was an uproar at the scene, 15.2 billion won? This money is converted into more than 100 million dollars, and Lee Jae-hyun actually made such a large amount of money in the CI Group? It's incredible. At the same time, a thought flashed through everyone's minds, is there a problem with the family genes of the Samsung Li family? The same is true of Lee Keon-hee, and now so is Lee Jae-hyun. Lee Jian-hee has just been pardoned for a few days, and now it's Lee Jae-hyun's turn again?
In addition, there are also people who speculate whether Lee Jae-hyun also made money in this way when he was the chairman of Samsung? Although Li Jianxi was accused of similar crimes, Li Jianxi at least evaded taxes for the company, and there were not many personal parts. But Lee Jae-hyun is the opposite, he made the money completely for himself, 15.2 billion won was fished into his private pocket from a CI group, if he continues to stay in the Samsung group, will this number increase several times or even more than ten times?
Thinking of this, some people shuddered, if this is the case, then it will not be a few years before the Samsung Group will become history. It seems that Li Zixian's accident is not all bad, and it may be a good thing if such a bad wolf can be removed for the company.
"You can't do this, you can't treat me like this, I want to see my lawyer, lawyer, my lawyer" Lee Jae-hyun, who was in a daze, didn't wake up until he put on handcuffs, he was scared into a cold sweat, and he panicked in his heart, because he couldn't imagine how what his CI Group did would be known by the outside world, and even be caught by the official evidence? This is completely impossible, no matter how Lee Jae-hyun thinks, he can't figure out how this could be the case, and after coming back to his senses, he began to struggle, and at the same time shouted hoarsely.
But the people who came had already taken precautions, and the hands like iron tongs made Lee Jae-hyun unable to move, as for the lawyer? The other party also made it clear to Lee Jae-hyun that he would let him meet with the lawyer when necessary, but definitely not now. In addition, the other party lowered his voice and warned Lee Jae-hyun not to embarrass them, and if they were forced to use the necessary means, then Lee Jae-hyun would leave Samsung's headquarters in an extremely undignified manner.
Hearing this, Lee Jae-hyun was stunned, and then his struggling body and excited emotions gradually calmed down, he sighed lightly, looked at everyone present with complicated eyes, and then walked towards the door with the "support" of the people who came.
In order to give Lee Jae-hyun a little face, the other party took a coat to help cover his hands before escorting him out of the conference room, and Lee Jae-hyun also tried his best to make himself look calm and relaxed, and even barely squeezed out a smile. But as soon as he arrived in the corridor, he found that the Samsung employee who had heard the news was sneaking into the office behind the corridor to look at him, at this time, his smile became extremely stiff, and even his pace was a little unsteady.
"I didn't expect Mr. Lee Jae-hyun to make such a big mistake in the position of chairman of the CI Group, 15.2 billion, it's terrible" A familiar voice came from the open door of the conference room at this moment, this voice sounded like a heartache, but in Lee Jae-hyun's ears, he felt so gloating.
"In view of Mr. Lee Jae-hyun's problems, I, as a member of the board of directors and a shareholder, propose that Lee Jae-hyun be immediately terminated as chairman of Samsung Group, and at the same time, I request that the Supervisory Board come forward to form a Samsung internal verification team to investigate the financial situation of Mr. Lee Jae-hyun during his tenure at Samsung Group......."
This voice continued to sound, and when he heard this, Lee Jae-hyun only felt that the blood in his whole body suddenly rushed to his head, and the whole person couldn't help but tremble. He struggled to turn his head back, and just wanted to scold a few words, but his eyes were dark, he opened his mouth and didn't shout anything, and the angry Lee Jae-hyun actually fainted.
In the afternoon of the same day, various media and newspapers across South Korea published the latest news that Lee Jae-hyun, the current chairman of Samsung Group, had not completely extricated himself from the car accident for the time being, and the news of embezzlement and embezzlement of company funds and tax evasion of up to 15.2 billion won in his position at CI Group was revealed. Moreover, the video and photos of Lee Jae-hyun being escorted out of the Samsung Group headquarters were also released, his whole face was like earth, and he couldn't walk and was dragged into the car. The news immediately caused a sensation in South Korea, 15.2 billion won, which was an unheard of huge event, and many angry young and middle-aged South Koreans took to the streets full of anger, demanding that the government must severely punish this kind of enterprise moth.
This incident became more and more troublesome, but after the trouble, I don't know what happened, it actually got out of the content of the initial protest, and turned to the historical dispute with the Japanese side, and then there were common incidents in every protest in South Korea, such as cutting fingers, pouring gasoline **, etc., until the government intervened and dispatched the police to forcibly suppress it. But by that time, the Lee Jae-hyun incident that was the fuse had become a trivial matter, and not many people paid attention to it anymore.
However, after Lee Jae-hyun was arrested, he quickly entered the procedure. Because the government has been investigating for a long time in this case, and all the evidence is perfect, although Lee Jae-hyun in prison met his lawyer, his lawyer also told him unmistakably that because of the conclusive evidence, it is absolutely impossible for Lee Jae-hyun to escape trial, and now the only chance is to confess his guilt and plead with the judge.
Hearing this result, Lee Jae-hyun first became furious and kicked out the lawyer, and then used outside connections to find a better lawyer for himself. But no matter how famous the lawyer is, after seeing the case file, they say that they are powerless, and they say the same thing as the first lawyer, and the best result is to plead guilty and plead in order to serve a few years less in prison.
By this time, Lee Jae-hyun was completely desperate. And then he was horrified by the news that there had been a breakthrough in the investigation of the car accident. When someone told Lee Jae-hyun that a guy named Kim Shin-yi had become a tainted witness to the police and reported that Lee Jae-hyun was behind the car accident, Lee Jae-hyun's spirit suddenly collapsed, and he felt that the sky had completely fallen and everything was irreparable.
On the third day after Lee Jae-hyun's accident, Samsung's board of directors made a decision to remove Lee Jae-hyun from his post as chairman of Samsung, and at the same time, an investigation team formed by the board of supervisors to investigate Lee Jae-hyun's economic situation during his tenure at Samsung Group. To the surprise of some shareholders, the investigation team of the board of supervisors actually designated Lee Sung-bin to be fully responsible for the matter, and Lee Sung-bin, who had been missing for a few days and no one knew where he had gone, suddenly appeared in front of everyone on the third day after Lee Jae-hyun's accident, but at this time, in addition to the vice president, he also had an extra hat on his head as the head of the investigation team.
After Lee Sung-bin took office, he vigorously launched an investigation within the group, and soon not only found out a series of economic problems in Lee Jae-hyun's position as chairman of the Samsung Group, but also investigated some information about Lee Jae-hyun's internal personnel in the Samsung Group.
However, under the authorization of Zhou Liwen, Li Shengbin did not grasp and beat the people of Lee Jae-hyun and his family unless he transferred some of Lee Jae-hyun's situation to the government, but used these things to start the work of co-ordination. Li Shengbin was originally a confidant of Lee Jae-hyun, but now he has turned into a person of Zhou Liwen, who holds great power, and he found people from Lee Jae-hyun's family, who had a good relationship before, and used threats and temptations to win over these guys in various ways.
As soon as Lee Jae-hyun fell, these people were panicked, but now that Li Shengbin came forward to woo Zhou Liwen, of course they couldn't wait to take refuge. As the saying goes, there is no way to sell the country, how can you give up when the opportunity is found? Of course, there are also a few brainless guys, the so-called Lee Jae-hyun's iron loyalty, not only did not change his attitude, but pointed at Lee Sung-bin's nose and scolded him for being sorry for Lee Jae-hyun, and now he is even more disloyal and unrighteous traitor in doing so.
For this kind of person, Zhou Liwen was not polite, and directly let Li Shengbin deal with it. Li Shengbin was already pinching their handles, and it was very easy to deal with them, plus these uninteresting guys happened to use them to kill chickens and show monkeys, so he immediately raised his knives high and gave everyone a dismount.
Not long after, several brainless people implicated by Lee Jae-hyun were arrested one by one and went to prison to accompany Lee Jae-hyun. After purging Lee Jae-hyun of his men in the Samsung Group, Zhou Liwen also took over the forces left by Lee Jae-hyun. Next, the board of directors will be reconvened and the chairman and president of Samsung Group will be elected. At this time, the entire Samsung Group no longer has a combination of Zhou Liwen and Li Jianxi, the power of this combination is already overwhelming, and everything that follows is as Zhou Liwen expected.
A month later, Lee Keon-hee, who had not fully recovered, was reappointed by the board of directors as chairman of Samsung Group, and Zhou Liwen was appointed president of Samsung Group. Not only that, the first internal document issued by Li Jianxi as the chairman was actually given carte blanche to Zhou Liwen to replace the chairman to carry out the operation of Samsung Group. This almost put the entire Samsung Group into the hands of Zhou Liwen, and as soon as the news came out, the whole South Korea was surprised, and many people also raised objections to Zhou Liwen's identity in charge of the Samsung Group.
In this regard, both within the Samsung Group and Lee Keon-hee himself are unusually united, and they unanimously announced that as the president of the company, whether it is a Korean or a foreigner, this will not affect the foundation of the entire Samsung Group as a Korean company. What's more, as a world-renowned businessman, Zhou Liwen can Qu Zun serve as the president of Samsung Group, which is an opportunity for Samsung Group to develop and go to the world.
Like them, Mr. New President also made a similar statement on an occasion, he proposed that Samsung Group will be headed by Zhou Liwen, which is a new round of South Korea-US friendship example, as the world's largest mobile phone manufacturer, Zhou Liwen, chairman of the OR Group, can be the president of Samsung, which also represents the comprehensive strategic cooperation between OR and Samsung, which is very beneficial to Samsung Group and even the entire Korean economy.
Similarly, the U.S. side, including U.S. business representatives in South Korea, has also expressed the same view and is extremely optimistic about the future of Samsung Group. More importantly, the stock market reacted, and on the day Samsung Group announced that Zhou Liwen was its president, Samsung Group's shares, including the shares of Samsung Group's companies, rose sharply in various stock markets, which made shareholders very excited.
Stimulated by several major benefits, especially the soaring economic interests of stocks, the society's doubts about Zhou Liwen's identity soon disappeared like a bubble. In the following months, as the president of Samsung Group, Zhou Liwen announced a series of adjustment strategies, not only to give Samsung a thriving incentive after many events, but also after announcing some strategic cooperation, Samsung Group quickly gained unprecedented vitality.
At the end of that year, the annual situation of Samsung Group was up from last year2, although it did not reach the most glorious time of Samsung Group a few years ago, but this has already excited all Samsung people. In the second year, a series of measures and cooperation of Samsung Group have been rewarded, less than half a year, Samsung Electronics, especially Samsung mobile phones have taken back the world's second position at a very fast speed, and because of the alliance with the OR company, Samsung smartphones that have changed the mobile phone system have also obtained more than the original 3% spoon profits, near the end of the year, Samsung Electronics and Samsung companies have soared, and they have broken through the highest peak numbers in one fell swoop, and they have been exclaimed by Koreans as the return of Samsung's miracle.
In the case of the steady growth and continuous development of the Samsung Group, OR Company has also begun to make a further leap forward relying on Samsung's resources. By three years' time, OR had the lion's share of the entire smartphone, followed by Samsung and Nokia, followed by Siemens and a host of other smartphones.
From the perspective of the entire smartphone market, although the overall number of mobile phone sales began to remain stable after growing to a certain extent, because Zhou Liwen has formed an alliance of smartphone operating systems through the three giants of OR Samsung and Nokia, and the operating system authorization of a series of other brands such as Siemens, he has secretly mastered the monopoly on the entire smartphone operating system 3. Except for a small number of people who are still using Android, even Microsoft's mobile operating system is no longer used by manufacturers.
It is for these reasons that the profitability of smartphones has been maximized, and while maintaining a steady number of sales, their profits continue to grow. By this time, it can be said that Zhou Liwen has completely grasped this market, just like Microsoft has become the undisputed hegemon in terms of the operating system of personal computers.
Time flies, in a blink of an eye, in 214, in the past few years, Zhou Liwen has begun to continuously reduce the shares of various companies in his hands, so as to officially fall out of the position of the world's richest man in 22. But those who know know very well that Zhou Liwen is only doing this to reduce his influence in the rankings, in fact, his wealth has not decreased, but has increased. According to industry insiders, Zhou Liwen's wealth and influence are no less than those of some old and famous consortia, but it is very difficult to really calculate Zhou Liwen's wealth in the case of continuous shareholding reduction.
Now Zhou Liwen, like some hidden tycoons, gradually withdrew from the eyes of the world and began to hide behind the scenes. If it weren't for the fact that he was still young now, someone might have written a celebrity biography based on Zhou Liwen's legendary experience. But even so, there seem to be some third-rate writers in China who tossed out a so-called Zhou Liwen's business book, and Zhou Liwen couldn't help crying and laughing when he saw these books that were not very well printed.
"It's rare to take a vacation, why do you call again?" Lin Yaxuan came over with two glasses of juice, and when she saw that Zhou Liwen had just hung up the phone, she frowned a little displeased.
"No way, Richard's call, I can't stop answering." Zhou Liwen smiled apologetically at his beloved wife, Lin Yaxuan is nearly forty years old, but she still looks like a young man in her twenties, if not, who knows that she is a mother who has given birth to four children?
A few years ago, Zhou Liwen and they ushered in the birth of the third and fourth children, this is a pair of twins, and it is a dragon and phoenix fetus, when this pair of children was born, Zhou Liwen, who has always wanted a girl, was very happy, and the old people on both sides looked at these two little guys and couldn't keep their mouths together, and now, these two little guys who can just run and walk have replaced their brother's position at home and become the most beloved little babies of the elders.
Now, the two little ones are playing not far away, their second son is a good brother, helping his grandparents watch his younger siblings, as for the eldest son, this kid who is almost in high school is especially mature, he refuses to come to this family vacation, and says that he has a date. Looking at his serious appearance, Zhou Liwen couldn't cry or laugh, so he could only let him move by himself.
"Richard looking for you? You haven't been in touch for a long time, have you? Lin Yaxuan asked with some surprise, over the years, Zhou Liwen's energy has mainly been on the side of OR Samsung, banks and Internet companies, and he has little contact with real estate, and there is only cooperation with Richard in Xiangjiang Telecommunications.
"It's almost time, and the Li family in Xiangjiang is ready to retreat." Zhou Liwen replied with a smile, Lin Yaxuan didn't understand what the so-called retreat was, but Zhou Liwen especially admired Old Man Li's vision at this time, and just now Richard called himself to tell him that Old Man Li decided to completely withdraw from the real estate market in the mainland. Zhou Liwen understands very well why he did this, but the reason he understands is different from that of Old Man Li, because Zhou Liwen has advantages that ordinary people do not have, but Old Man Li can rely on business vision to judge this, which is really powerful.
"Don't think about it, it's none of our business, they're going to deal with them, Richard just told me. Let's go to the kids. Zhou Liwen got up with a smile, hugged his wife and kissed her lightly on her forehead, Lin Yaxuan smiled happily, took her husband's hand, and ......walked to the children who were playing happily not far away.
