772 Lin Weiran Time (II)
Raising soldiers for a thousand days, using soldiers for a while, from another angle is to take people's money and eliminate disasters for others, Zhao Encheng succeeded as the director of SBS as he wished, and the rising tide of his identity did not make him forget his roots, he has been waiting to repay his debts, even if he doesn't know when Lin Weiran will come to ask for debts.
Now the opportunity has come, as the honorary director of the Korean Broadcasting Association, Cho Eun-sung, wants to vote on a share transfer application, and as the director of SBS, he made a statement on the equity transfer, and took the stage with the speech he just wrote last night, Cho Eun-sung, who prides himself on having seen the world, can't help but get nervous, and the heads of the departments that oversee the transaction such as the Korea Trade Commission, the Fair Trade Commission, the Cultural Communication Association, and the Securities and Futures Commission are all sitting in the audience at this time, and the parliamentary hearing of Yeouido is bigger than this battle.
After all, a TV station is not a daily necessities with a clear price in the vegetable market, even if Lin Weiran has reached a gambling agreement with Li Shengping in private, and an unfavorable ruling is made here, he can only hold his tail and stop drumming. In the call, Lin Weiran's confident attitude made Zhao Encheng eat half of the reassurance, and the half of the heart that was still hanging was nothing more than because of Lin Weiran's eagerness, this noble man who was destined to become the protagonist on a bigger stage was still too impatient.
Zhao Encheng thought a lot in his heart, but the movements in his hands were not slow, he opened the script, cleared his throat into the microphone, hesitated before opening his mouth, but after opening his mouth, he thought to himself, the game of that rank is not something he can participate in or he can interfere with, besides, Lin Weiran's big backer will return to China in a few hours. With this support, what does it matter to him. In fact, until the end of the vote, Zhao Encheng did not know that Lin Weiran was acquiring. It's entirely his personal behavior.
A few hours later, Park Geun-hye walked out of customs, and the Seoul airport of Nuoda was silent at the moment, and she walked back in the early morning in the middle of the night. In order to show its attention, the airport specially sent a team of more than 20 people to greet them, and they did not want to be lined by the empty background, but it was even more depressed.
"Sir, you've done a great job." The man with the head is slightly chubby, without the big belly of a middle-aged successful person, and his face is even more rare. Ben's somewhat flattering tone was lined by this face, and he was immediately neither humble nor arrogant, and the dozing greeting team behind him was also a little energetic.
"I'm the one who made you work hard." Park Geun-hye looked helpless.
"What are you talking about, sir, you work for the country, and we should serve you...... Please go this way. The man took a step out, but he didn't want Park Geun-hye to stand still, the man wondered if he had said the wrong thing or did something wrong, but he saw Park Geun-hye and the assistant officer next to him whispering a word, and then said something more kindly to him.
"Wait a minute, I have to thank you."
The man was a little confused. Perhaps it was because Park Geun-hye's smile was so kind that he couldn't figure out for a moment whether this was a candidate for the next presidential election or a neighbor's old lady who had just returned from the hospital when Park Geun-hye actually put a piece of Peking duck in his hand. He was even more surprised. Looking up again, he saw that Park Geun-hye personally delivered a piece of roast duck to everyone in the procession, and at first some people were still restrained. Retreating again and again, Park Geun-hye bent directly over the barrier. I personally stuffed the roast duck into someone's hands.
"If there were reporters around, I wouldn't be able to send it like that." After sending the last one, she said with a smile.
Everyone in the welcome team was stunned. They looked at the roast duck that had not yet torn off the price tag in their hands, and looked at Park Geun-hye who showed a motherly smile, the thing is really not expensive, the yuan is less than sixty yuan a piece, and the thing is not good, you can eat it when you tear it up, at best, it is a fast duck, but this heart makes everyone's heart warm.
Park Geun-hye's assistant stepped forward to tell Park Geun-hye that it was time to leave, and before leaving, Park Geun-hye smiled and waved goodbye to these people, and people involuntarily took steps to follow, until Park Geun-hye walked into the special passage, they looked inside until they could no longer see Park Geun-hye's figure, hugged the duck in their arms, and said a word to others.
"She's different."
"Well, I've seen those people, she's not putting on a show."
Even a middle-aged man who took on a troublesome matter was not so easily brainwashed, but his heart was also shaken because of the numbness of reality, he walked in front to lead the way for Park Geun-hye, looked at the duck in his hand, and listened to Park Geun-hye's footsteps, he began to wonder, thinking that there may really be people like Park Geun-hye in this world, like his mother.
"Please slow down."
Park Geun-hye opened his mouth, and the man was startled, he saw Park Geun-hye's tired expression, noticed the deep wrinkles on his face like his own mother, and he repeatedly said sorry, but Park Geun-hye smiled and comforted him.
"It's okay, it's just that I'm a little tired, and when people get old, their bodies won't work."
The man sank, he remembered how long he hadn't been home, since his father died, his mother had been alone in the empty room, looking for him to go back to dinner, and he would only say that he was busy. The man slowed down and led Park Geun-hye and his party out, he walked to Park Geun-hye's side, noticed the scar on Park Geun-hye's face, and remembered the story about Park Geun-hye, whose father was assassinated, displaced at a young age, and who was stabbed in the face with a knife during a pro-people event after joining politics, and the knife almost stabbed her in the neck.
That man deserves to die.
Thinking so, the man began to side with Park Geun-hye.
The passage was not long, but the group walked for seven or eight minutes, and on the way, Park Geun-hye and the man began to gossip, and they were about to be a little reluctant to separate the man.
"Sir......" Zheng Daozhun held up his mobile phone, his voice trembling.
Park Geun-hye said flatly: "What's wrong? β
Zheng Daozhun stammered: "Lin, Lin Weiran has acquired 20% of SBS's shares. β
Naturally, the man distanced himself from Park Geun-hye, and he didn't hear the content clearly, but he noticed a noticeable change in the atmosphere. Something must be wrong.
"Really? I know. Park Geun-hye said lightly.
Chung Daozhun chattered in a panic: "The emergency vote just held by the Broadcasting Association a few hours ago was passed by a vote of 11 to 7. Now it's been submitted to the SFC for review, sir. We can't ...... now"
"I said I knew."
Chung Do-joon was interrupted, and he looked up to see Park Geun-hye's smiling face up close, his hand was in Park Geun-hye's hand, and he could feel the mild temperature in Park Geun-hye's palm.
"Now let's go back first."
Zheng Daozhun nodded stupidly, and muttered to go back, go back.
"Thank you for your hard work." Park Geun-hye walked up to the man and bowed slightly: "I'm the one who caused you trouble." β
"No, no." The man waved his hand again and again: "It is our honor to serve you." β
"Then we'll go first."
"Okay, you go slowly."
The man watched as Park Geun-hye and his party got into the car. The depression that had been working overtime until the early hours of the morning was also lightly resolved by Park Geun-hye, who felt that if he wanted to vote, he should vote for such a person, because such a person is really like a mother. Sitting in the car, the mother-like Park Geun-hye is closing her eyes, and her other son Chung Do-joon only realized his gaffe just now, but this really can't blame him, who knows that Lin Weiran, who doesn't want to face it, actually bought the shares of SBS like this, he is a Chinese, and the people of the Broadcasting Association cannot support this transaction even if they are stupid. The reason why Lin Weiran was able to buy these shares was not because of Park Geun-hye? Because the presidential candidate personally went to China to finalize the Incheon expansion project, and Lim Weiran, who presided over part of the Incheon expansion, was also seen as Park Geun-hye's right-hand man?
This is a political vote, and this vote speaks volumes about how Park Geun-hye is expected to be. Trying to control the media for the sake of election is something that any politician should do in this era, but Lin Weiran did not do it for Park Geun-hye, his Chinese status also allowed Park Geun-hye to give people a handle.
"Sir. Do we want to change our speech at next month's party congress, your policy is already pro-China. If you continue like this, I fear that you will be targeted by the pro-American faction......"
Park Geun-hye interrupted with her eyes closed, "Lin Weiran." Let me see. β
Zheng Daozhun was taken aback: "Huh? β
Park Geun-hye opened her eyes and said in a gentle drizzle: "Last time you went to see Khmer medicine, it didn't work, this time let me meet Lin Weiran in person." β
Jeong Do-joon swallowed his saliva with difficulty, and was surprised to tell her that he had been by Park Geun-hye's side for so many years, don't look at Park Geun-hye as a woman, don't look at her always being so gentle and gentle, once this chief is angry, he never scolds, but acts directly, and he will never suffer from future troubles.
Zheng Daozhun took out his mobile phone tremblingly, and before dialing Lin Weiran's number, he took a deep breath to steady his feelings, he was afraid that he would scold Lin Weiran for being a bastard who put his nose on his face. As a result, Lin Weiran's first sentence when he picked up the phone almost broke his work.
"Give the phone to the sir."
Chung Do-joon scolded in his heart for looking down on people, but still handed over the phone to Park Geun-hye next to him.
"Has Gu Huan found it?"
On the other end of the phone, Lin Weiran, who was in Japan, was stunned: "Not yet." β
He ...... Keep looking, and let me know if you find it. Park Geun-hye said with a sigh.
Lin Weiran had to be silent for a moment to calm down, Park Geun-hye was not Lee Shengping, let alone Yoon Jong-bin, he organized the wording, and said slowly: "I have applied for Korean citizenship......"
"I'll talk about the work later."
Park Geun-hye's interruption made Lin Weiran stunned, "If you really can't find it, don't look for it, whether it's to erect a well-dressed mound, or what you want to do, the deceased is gone, and you can't let him go...... He died for you, so why should you let him die as he deserves? β
Lin Weiran didn't expect Park Geun-hye to react like this at all, he listened to Park Geun-hye's persuasion with the wind and drizzle in a daze, and really heard it in his heart, until this sentence was so dead Lin Weiran woke up, and subconsciously broke out in a cold sweat.
"I understand." "The TV station may cause some trouble, but I'll take care of it myself," he said. β
"I know that you have always been quick with your hands and feet, and you will not leave me trouble." I don't know if it's Lin Weiran's delusion, Park Geun-hye's voice is a little cold. Both of them were silent for a while, it was Park Geun-hye who hung up the phone first, and Lin Weiran suddenly found that the other party had left her hand in dealing with Park Geun-hye the first few times. Only wait for him to reveal his flaws, and then he will strike a swift blow.
Park Geun-hye put down her phone and closed her eyes in contemplation. After a moment, he commanded: "You go and keep an eye on the Khmer medicine." Don't be nervous if you're alarmed, just look at him. β
Zheng Daozhun nodded again and again.
Park Geun-hye also instructed: "In addition, prepare to speed up the investigation of the identity of the opposition candidates, and also help me make an appointment to meet with Deputy Chung Mong-joon...... and Zheng Mengjiu. β
Zheng Daozhun asked: "Zheng Mengjiu?" β
Park Geun-hye said softly: "Lin Weiran, I can't control it, it seems that both the government and the opposition will not stop because of this." β
Zheng Daozhun's eyes widened in astonishment, and he couldn't understand why this Chinese, who had just been in the business for a few years, could be so powerful, was he determined and diligent? Or is he smarter than everyone else and more daring to gamble than everyone else? Neither. Smart people don't try to overturn the table before waiting for the pie in the sky to fall into their mouths, and no matter how many times a gambler wins, he will eventually lose everything once. Zheng Daozhun couldn't figure it out, let alone think it through, but he knew in his heart that in this life, he had no chance to point at Lin Weiran's nose and scold him for being a white-eyed wolf and a bastard.
The day in Tokyo brightens an hour earlier than in Korea, and breakfast is brought by the waiter. Lin Weiran immediately dialed his mobile phone to a man who was more mercenary than him.
"Boss?"
"That's it."
"Just waiting for your words."
Lin Weiran put down her phone and leaned on the sofa.
Gillis, who had received Lin Weiran's approval, also put down his phone, and behind him stood a group of men and women with a complex composition, all of whom were in suits and leather shoes. The face is stern, and when they are put together, they magnify the capable and professional collection on the body.
βGame.Start.β
Gillis gave instructions in English, and the entire M&A team was up and running. Everyone has their own duties, and the precision is like a machine. The world's largest M&A involving Internet companies. Looking at the busy subordinates, Gillis whistled softly, and it was only in the country where business was not so commercial. to allow him to find this kind of stimulation.
Of course, the only remaining fairness in this world is that if you are lucky enough, your efforts will definitely bring you a proportional return, and the greatest manifestation of this reward is that when you drag an oxygen cylinder through the long line of people waiting for you, you are still a giant in their eyes.
Lin Weiran once asserted that she would not live for three years.
He was right.
When the old man who had been given a deadline entered the headquarters building, his eldest grandson was by his side, and like the young people who like to show off their wealth to be superior, the old man's grandson is also this kind of useless person, this kind of useless person will only whisper to those who are richer than him or can give him more money, and the old man's grandson is no exception.
A person's worth is determined by how much value you create, not how much value you consume.
The old man wanted to teach this sentence to the children and grandchildren around him, but unfortunately no one could listen to it.
Gillis bowed to the old man outside the elevator, and always maintained respect for these self-made entrepreneurs Gillis, because they lived in an era where entrepreneurship was equivalent to fighting in the vast American West, and those who survived were worthy of admiration and learning. The two sides did not talk, and the group soon arrived in the conference room, and the mergers and acquisitions involving two companies with a combined market value of more than $30 billion should have been more streamlined, with countless meetings and calculations, as well as negotiations and consultations that seemed to be endless, and the time of months to a year or even years would wear out anyone's patience, leaving only a group of tax lawyers who are numb to numbers.
But this time it was different, Gillis didn't plan to spend that long to facilitate the merger, and at this point, he hit it off with Lin Weiran, so he turned the meaningless meeting into a negotiation, and it got straight to the point.
"Equity exchange, asset structure adjustment, the most important thing is the adjustment of the board of directors, all the core technologies and copyrights owned by NHN and Shinhan must be managed in a unified manner, and the equity dividends and profits of NeverNHN can be enjoyed exclusively for one year, but if this part of the shares is sold, both parties will have the same right to distribute the income."
Gilleston paused and continued, "All profits from Shinhan IT are also shared with NHN at a rate of 50 percent after one year, and then 10 percent per year. With the exception of Shinhan IT, NHN shareholders shall not interfere in any decisions made by Shinhan's Board of Directors. At least within two years. β
There are many more conditions, and Gillis picks the most critical of them. The merger between NHN and Shinhan is more like a partnership system for an unlisted company, and it is more like a partner system for an unlisted company than a merger and acquisition.
The old man groaned, the young man beside him couldn't sit still, he couldn't figure out what his grandfather was thinking, he seemed to want to declare his existence, and asked directly, "Why didn't Lin Weiran come?" β
Gillis glanced at him. Didn't care.
The young man felt offended, but he was not stupid enough to flip the table, but whispered to the old man: "Grandpa, it seems that President Lin doesn't have much time now, we might as well wait for President Lin to come and talk." β
"Idiot." Gillis muttered, not loud, but just enough for the young man to hear.
"You ......"
"Alright." The old man waved his hand, picked up the oxygen mask and inhaled, "I heard that President Lin's friend has unfortunately passed away. Please help me convey my condolences. β
Gillis nodded, and although the young man looked angry, he didn't speak again, according to the standard IQ of the second ancestor of his class. He knew when to open his mouth and when to shut up, and the merger of the two groups was bound to be a long one. Sooner or later, there would be a time for him to be relieved, but he didn't expect it. Gillis wasn't going to give him that chance.
Gillis leaned forward and said in a very polite tone: "For a group with the Internet as the core. Innovation is the only competitiveness, I do not deny the success of NHN in the early days of the Internet era, but precisely because you have succeeded and taken the old road of enterprise scale, NHN has lost its competitiveness on the world stage, and the internal factions have made you only rely on the influence of the union when you are fighting for power and profit, and the sky-high price of the union has made NHN continue to cut R&D funds, you are now in decline, I believe you can also feel it, The reason why Shinhan has become what it is today in just a few years is not entirely due to political reasons, its philosophy is top-notch in the world, and if NHN does not inject new blood like Shinhan, it will only have three years left. β
"Alarmist." The young man was still silent, but Gillis still didn't even look at him.
The old man put down the oxygen mask: "I know what you said, I am not from the Internet, but I have learned a lot, but there is one thing that you Americans never understand, no matter how good things are, if they are not mine, it is useless." β
"I understand, so I have conditions that you won't refuse."
"What?"
"Lin Weiran will not serve as the chairman of Shinhan again."
The old man was stunned.
"Chairman Lim will resign within six months, but he will not sell his shares, but in order to protect his interests, the NHN board of directors must sign an agreement that if anyone intends to dilute Chairman Lim's shares, he must pay compensation twice the market price," Gillis confirmed. β
The old man pondered, he picked up the oxygen mask and inhaled it one by one, and the decision was already obvious.
A few days later, in Japan, Lin Weiran was in the port when he got the confirmation text message, and the magnificent scenery of Tokyo's Rich Bay did not make him feel relaxed. With Gillis to deal with the merger, Lin Weiran went to Japan in person to cut off future troubles, and the key reports of the Yomiuri Shimbun made his previous layout fall short, even if this time it should not be disturbed from Japan, but Lin Weiran did not want to take risks.
"President, will he not come?" Li Xu, who was personally in charge of the contact, was worried, after all, it was more than an hour before the agreed time.
"Be patient...... I'll go in for a while, and you keep waiting. Lin Weiran said and walked towards the reluctant yacht club bar behind, before confirming Son Zhengyi, Lin Weiran didn't expect that he could easily meet this man who once competed with Bill Gates for the richest man in the world.
SoftBank, compared to Samsung, Microsoft and other world-famous large enterprises, this venture capital listed company from Japan is also famous, its founder Masayoshi Son is a veritable genius, and earned his first million dollars when he was in college in the United States, and since then it has been a smooth ride, the bursting of the Internet bubble in the United States in 98 years has made this man who is competing with Bill Gates for the richest man in the world lose 90% of his net worth, and his answer in the face of an interview with reporters is that my eyes are ahead of the world for ten years, Twelve years later, FaceBook has taken the term "online social" around the world, and more than half of the many stocks that have sunk in the sand twelve years ago have been pioneers of online social networking.
After the failure, Masayoshi Son did not stop investing in the Internet, he shifted his attention from the United States to Asia, blogs, Never, Alibaba, Tencent, and other Internet companies have Son's figure and money, he has become the god of the Asian Internet industry with a keen eye, and he goes everywhere, queuing up to meet him I don't know how many people.
In the bathroom, Lin Weiran stood in front of the urinal and thought about Son Zhengyi's past, until a short man stood beside him, Lin Weiran looked over and only felt a little familiar, and the short man looked at him, smiled at him and nodded.
Lin Weiran retracted his gaze, and the next moment he realized that he looked at this man who was very short and was also unraveling, and he couldn't imagine that he and Son Masayoshi would meet at such a time.
"The doctor said that being nervous when urinating is not good for the body." Sun Zhengyi said, squinting his eyes and glancing at Lin Weiran three ways, "Are you done?" β
Lin Weiran didn't follow Son's rhythm: "Is it you who happened in the Yomiuri Shimbun?" β
Son was a little disappointed, "It's me." β
Lin Weiran was really puzzled: "Why? β
Son said seriously, "I like Shinhan. β
Lin Weiran was dumbfounded, and could only watch Son Masayoshi perform: "Samsung wants to buy Shinhan, this is an opportunity for me, you don't want to sell to Samsung, I know, so you will resist...... Your layout is good, if you become Lee Kun-hee, you will really die down, but if that happens, I won't have a chance, so I came out to stir up the situation...... When the time comes, you don't want to sell your shares to Samsung and you can't compete for Samsung, if I appear, you can sell the shares to me, and I have no problem dealing with a Li Fuzhen, and Li Kunxi will not provoke me when he passes on the throne. β
Lin Weiran smiled bitterly: "It's that simple? β
Masayoshi Son zipped up: "How hard can it be?" You'll know when you're as rich as me, back to basics, that's what it's all about. β
Sun Zhengyi walked out of the bathroom, Lin Weiran followed, the two came to the sink, each turned on the faucet, Sun Zhengyi ran out of hand sanitizer and handed it to Lin Weiran, Lin Weiran squeezed out some and put it aside, the two of them washed their hands seriously, Sun Zhengyi went to the dryer first, so Lin Weiran needed to line up.
Son said, "Let's cooperate." β
Lin Weiran said, "Okay." β
On June 3, two blockbuster news set off an uproar in South Korea's financial circles, Hutchison Whampoa confirmed that the investment in Incheon expansion is one, Shinhan and NHN officially entered the merger and acquisition process is two, the next day, South Korea's fourth largest newspaper 'Maeil Economy' suddenly announced that it decided to restructure its assets in response to the tide of the new media era, and three days later, Shinhan announced that it had launched an acquisition plan for 'Maeil Economy'.
On June 10, South Korea's ABC Broadcasting Association announced that it had agreed to Taishan Group to sell 20 percent of its SBS shares to Jinchao Holdings, and when it was discovered that the head of the Jinchao Holdings was Lin Weiran, it was also noted that its former CEO, a Chinese named Gu Huan.
On June 16, Shinhan JP was established, LINE was officially launched in Japan, Son Masayoshi attended the opening ceremony of Shinhan JP, and announced that he would have more and more favorable cooperation with Shinhan.
On the morning of June 17, the sun was shining outside the window, and Lee Kun-hee sat at the dining table opening a newspaper, and when he read the report that occupied an entire page and was branded with the exaggerated headline of the Asian Murdoch, he suddenly realized that he was facing a giant. (To be continued......)
