Chapter 502: Angry and Corrupt
(.) Zhou Liwen was almost deceived by Li Jianxi, not that it can't be said to be a lie, but this old fox is too cunning, he actually calculated himself in this situation, and used his son's death, including his own illness, to set a trap for Zhou Liwen.
Of course, this set is not unfavorable to Zhou Liwen, in a sense, the other party is using a conspiracy rather than a conspiracy. In front of Zhou Liwen, Lee Kun-hee dressed himself up as a poor old man, an old man who had lost his heir and was lying on the hospital bed for an unknown amount of time. In this way, he won over Zhou Liwen's contemporary, and bluntly pointed out the current crisis of Samsung Group and his own worries. Then, Lee Kun-hee threw a bait to Zhou Liwen that he could not refuse, that is, he mainly asked Zhou Liwen to become his grandson's agent, or guardian, and enter his so-called executive committee to replace him in managing the Samsung Group.
In the face of such a temptation, can Zhou Liwen refuse? I'm afraid no one can refuse. Li Jianxi is right, Zhou Liwen is unwilling to really join the Samsung Group, because he is a foreigner, and he has no Korean ancestry, just one point, completely cut off the possibility of Zhou Liwen becoming the owner of Samsung. And because of Li Jianxi's invitation, Zhou Liwen can grasp the rights of Samsung in this way. As long as Zhou Liwen nodded and agreed, although the future chairman of Samsung is not Zhou Liwen, as a member of the executive committee and the president of Samsung Group, Zhou Liwen can still get everything he needs, and even get far more powerful rights than originally planned.
But the problem is that there are a few points that Zhou Liwen did not consider at the beginning.
First: Lee Kun-hee "signed" a post-dated check to Zhou Liwen, not cashed it immediately, and when Zhou Liwen will be able to sit in the position of president of Samsung Group will have to wait for Lee Kun-hee to go to heaven.
Second: Lee Kun-hee himself knows very well that although he is desperate to take revenge, that is, to target Lee Jae-hyun and regain the power of Samsung at the same time, the problem is that after the death of his son, in the face of internal and external troubles, there is the problem of Lee Jae-hyun's father and son, and there is the conspiracy of Zhou Liwen and Softbank.
And his best choice is to win over people who can be co-opted to deal with Lee Jae-hyun and his son, thinking about it, Zhou Liwen is the most suitable person. What's more, they had reached an agreement before, and now they are just continuing to implement and deepen this agreement.
Third: In the face of Softbank's private actions, Lee Kun-hee has already felt it. What kind of person is Son Masayoshi Li Kunxi knows very well, if he is succeeded by Son Zhengyi, then the three-star Li family will become history, which is absolutely not allowed by Lee Kunxi. Even if he completely defeats Lee Jae-hyun's father and son, avenges his son's hatred and returns to Samsung, but because of this change in Son Masayoshi, no one can predict the final result at that time. And at this time, pulling Zhou Liwen out as his shield, this is a good move, with Zhou Liwen blocking Sun Zhengyi for himself, then he can concentrate on dealing with Li Zaixian's father and son without worries.
In the end, what Li Jianxi said to Zhou Liwen was not all false, with his current physical condition, no one knew how many years it would last. If you die, your grandson, who is the sole heir, is still young, and you must have a strong and reliable person to rely on. Considering this candidate, Zhou Liwen is of course the most suitable, whether it is his ability, status or identity, only Zhou Liwen can replace himself in the position of president to ensure the continuation of the Samsung Li family.
Of course, these are only theoretical. No one can say what will happen in the future, just like Zhou Liwen half-jokingly said, if he will really become a naturalized South Korean, then it is possible for Samsung Group to change hands. However, Lee Kun-hee also considered that this possibility is very small, and there is almost no such possibility. Besides, if it really comes to that point, he Li Jianxi is helpless, this is the death of their three-star Li family, and in the end, it is enough to leave his grandson a lifetime of carefree wealth, as for the future history, who will think about it after he closes his eyes?
Zhou Liwen is not an ordinary person, when he was in the ward, he only felt surprised because of the sudden incident, but after coming out, he was blown by the cold wind, and he quickly reacted. Li Jianxi's thinking is very dense and has a long-term layout, which makes Zhou Liwen sigh to himself, and he even feels that if he is replaced by himself, he may not be able to do better than the other party.
If you are willing to give up, you will get if you are willing to give up. For the sake of his own hatred and the arrangement of his children and grandchildren, Lee Kun-hee came up with such a trick. To be honest, Zhou Liwen couldn't help but be tempted while admiring it, because what Li Jianxi gave him was enough to make him tempted, according to his previous plan, even if he did well, he would only enter the Samsung board of directors, but now that Li Jianxi died, he Zhou Liwen became the actual emperor of Samsung Group, isn't this more important than just a seat on the board of directors?
Of course, Zhou Liwen and Son Zhengyi have a good relationship, but it doesn't mean that Zhou Liwen must help Son Zhengyi get control of Samsung. Nothing in this world is perfect, and even they don't know if they are friends today and will become competitors tomorrow because of some accident.
As for Li Jianxi's physical condition, Zhou Liwen is naturally clear. Although Lee Kun-hee had retired due to physical reasons in his previous life and handed over the property to his son, there was also news that he was terminally ill. But this life is completely different from the previous life, history has changed greatly, and at present, Lee Kun-hee's body has obviously collapsed after being hit, and even if he is bedridden to recuperate, the possibility of him recovering his health is very small. Even if it takes a few years, Zhou Liwen thinks it will be worth it, but the question is whether Zhou Liwen will do this, or will he agree to Li Kunxi's request? Zhou Liwen was still a little hesitant about this.
Zhou Liwen's car did not go to the hotel, but to a luxury apartment in downtown Seoul. This place is not Zhou Liwen's property, but now it is no different from his industry, because this is Sun Zhengyi's industry, and this time Zhou Liwen did not go alone, and Sun Zhengyi came with him.
In the luxurious suite, Son has been waiting for Zhou Liwen's return. When he saw Zhou Liwen's footsteps ringing outside the corridor, he couldn't help but stand up, who had always been very calm.
"How's it going?" When Zhou Liwen entered the door and took off his coat, Sun Zhengyi couldn't help but ask.
"It's not good, it's not bad, but it's ......." Zhou Liwen frowned.
"But what?" Son asked.
Zhou Liwen walked straight to the side of the wine cabinet, took a bottle of wine from it and poured himself a glass, took a sip and sat down in the sand, looked at Sun Zhengyi and said, "Sun Dong, I want to ask you a question." ”
"Questions?" Son Zhengyi looked at Zhou Liwen strangely, thought about it and nodded.
Zhou Liwen said: "If Sun Dong wants to become the owner of Samsung, is he going to take full charge of Samsung Group as a business?" Or are you just optimistic about Samsung's show just as an investment? Just like SoftBank's investment in Ahri. ”
"Does it make a difference?" Son replied subconsciously, and suddenly his pupils shrank suddenly, and he said vigilantly: "Is it that Li Jianxi has made any conditions?" ”
Zhou Liwen nodded without denying it, smiled and said Li Jianxi's suggestion straightforwardly, and then held a wine glass in one hand and lit a cigar in the other, and looked at Sun Zhengyi with a smile.
Son was first startled, then stunned, the expression on his face was very complicated, and after a while, he burst out laughing.
"Interesting, so interesting" Sun Zhengyi patted his thigh and said happily: "This old fox is really an old fox, and he actually threw such a bait." Dong Chou, you won't agree to him, will you? ”
"Why not?" Zhou Liwen asked with a smile: "If you agree to Li Jianxi, it is equivalent to easily getting what you need, not to mention that I am different from you, I have never had the idea of becoming a three-star owner, and now I can get more than I originally expected, if it were for you, would you agree?" ”
"Maybe, maybe......." Masayoshi Son didn't...
was angry, but smiled instead: "But there are a few problems here, didn't Dong Chou notice it?" ”
"What's the problem?" Zhou Liwen asked rhetorically.
"Lee Kun-hee just put forward a hypothesis, so I also put forward a hypothesis, what if his body recovers, or if he lives for more than ten years? Isn't that promise not true? ”
"I've also thought about that, and I can ⊥ him to make good on his promises, such as setting up an executive committee first, and then joining Samsung as the president of Samsung. Do you think I'll say yes without being sure? Sun Dong also underestimated me too much. ”
"President? Hehe, you and I know what kind of person Lee Kun-hee is, with his strength, even if you are the president? It's better to control Samsung with me, and when the time comes, let alone a mere president, even the vice chairman position is no problem. Sun Zhengyi said to Zhou Liwen very seriously, with urgency in his expression
"But don't forget, I, the president, have even more power than the president. After all, in the event of Lee Kun-hee's death, I, as an agent and guardian, will be able to fully control the management of Samsung, although this is only for a time limit, but who can say what will happen in the future? What happens in the future, Samsung is not in my pocket? ”
"It's ......." Son Zhengyi was stunned and said hurriedly: "You are not God, what if this old guy Li Jianxi does not die?" Even if he hangs his breath and lives hard for ten or eight years, what will you do? Aren't all these calculations in vain? ”
Seeing that Sun Zhengyi looked a little angry, Zhou Liwen just looked at him with a smile, as if what he said had nothing to do with him. Son couldn't help but stand up, and he walked around the house a few times, the anger on his face gradually faded, and then he burst into laughter.
