Chapter 746: Dinner

When he came to the banquet hall, Kim Do-jun found that the specifications that came to the scene tonight were unexpectedly high, almost all of them were women's evening dresses with men's formal clothes.

The figure of Europeans and Americans is really not comparable to that of Asians, just the bulging meat balls on the chest, under the thin evening dress, look extremely full.

With snow-white breasts, under the illumination of the moonlight, Kim Do-jun was a little shy and didn't know where to look.

People passing by looked at a few of them strangely, generally speaking, this kind of charity dinner will be attended with a female companion, and the few people in front of him, it seems that they are all boys, not only do not bring female companions, but look quite intimate, and discuss from time to time.

"Is that what they are?"

At first glance, it seems like something is going on.

Everyone else was a beautiful lady and a gentleman in a straight suit and walked towards the hotel.

And Jin Daojun and the five of them, they are all big men, although they are dressed quite handsomely, but in the eyes of foreigners, they are still a little weird.

Kim Do-joon seemed to notice the gaze of others, and he was embarrassed to say anything, just called Joshua and Han Sung-ho to the banquet hall of the hotel.

"Joshua, how did you inquire about the charity banquet this time?"

Kim Do-joon never fights unprepared battles, nor does he do useless work, if it weren't for a certain purpose, he wouldn't have spent so much money to attend a charity dinner, and he wasn't so bored that he had nowhere to go.

Even when you pass the Thames just now, you can stop and enjoy the scenery at your leisure. Stand on the bridge. Overlooking the bustling city of London at night. It's also a lot more fun than coming here.

"Don't worry, I've inquired in advance, the Minister of Labor and the Minister of Finance will be in attendance, and I'm not only the CEO of KDJ Group, but also the vice chairman of the Arsenal Club, or they took the initiative to send an invitation letter to invite me, I think there should be a chance to meet them privately, after all, they also want to know about the current production and sales of Jaguar and Land Rover. In case it doesn't happen, the government can also be prepared to intervene in advance! ”

Although the KDJ Group is not a large company, not many people know about it, except for the acquisition of Jaguar and Land Rover, the rest may be to acquire the shares of Arsenal's second largest shareholder.

In the world's oldest financial center like the UK, such a company cannot be said to be unattended, but compared to other companies, it is indeed relatively rare.

But in the eyes of those who care, the smaller the company, the easier it is to arouse the curiosity of others. When was it acquired and from whose hands. Where does such a large amount of money come from, quietly entering the British market without interest, these are all things that the government needs to consider regulation.

And Joshua can rely on such an identity to slowly tear a hole in the British business community and stand firmly, I don't know if it doesn't matter now, but one day he believes that he can make the whole of Britain, and even the whole world, remember who he is.

Now we are working towards this goal, step by step, and the most important thing at present is to complete the acquisition of the two banks, and tonight's charity banquet is an important breakthrough.

After verifying the invitation, Kim Do-jun followed Joshua into the hall together, pacing and whispering in his ear.

"If you want to meet with them later, don't reveal my identity yet, just say I'm your assistant! Let's get in touch for the time being, what is the specific situation, and when we finish them, let's go back and discuss, if necessary, I will visit in person! ”

In such a public occasion, revealing his identity, from Kim Do-joon's own point of view, is not very appropriate, and it is easy to expose himself.

Now he is thinking more and more about it, the acquisition of the bank for himself, there are advantages and disadvantages, as for whether the advantages outweigh the disadvantages, or the disadvantages outweigh the advantages, this is not clear, because the thing did not happen, and he can only make early judgments.

However, from the government's point of view, the banking industry in the context of the financial crisis has been depressed, and various banks, securities companies, and investment institutions have laid off employees and reduced salaries, while KDJ Group, which is based on the automobile industry, not only did not lay off employees and reduce salaries, but invested in production and research and development on a large scale, so that it is easy to gain the trust and goodwill of the government.

And at present, their advantage is that they have not obtained commercial loans from British banks, and all the funds are raised by Kim Do-jun himself.

Nearly $1 billion was spent on research and development alone, and part of this is certainly due to Ford's contribution.

The main thing is that some agreements were signed at the time of the acquisition.

If you think about it from another angle, a company that was originally a local British car brand was suddenly acquired by another unknown company, and its registered place was not in the UK, and it became a foreign-funded enterprise.

The most important thing is that they don't get financial support through British banks, and they don't even have loans, which is also too scary.

It would be scary if one day it suddenly declared bankruptcy, or officially announced that the company had moved from the UK to another country, and the government would not have any countermeasures at all, because there would be no interests tied between them at all.

There are no eternal friends, only eternal interests, and once the interests are gone, the relationship naturally ceases to exist.

It was this willingness that led Kim Do-joon to the charity dinner with a confident attitude, confident that if given the opportunity, he would be able to convince the two ministers to successfully buy the two banks, provided that the government supported him in terms of policy and funding.

As for why, it's very simple, he mortgaged Land Rover and Jaguar, and mortgaged tens of thousands of people's lives, employment, medical care, schooling, insurance, consumption, taxes, factories, and brands.

But what Kim Do-jun wants to do, no one can stop him, although it is mixed with a little bit of coercion, but the shopping mall is like a battlefield, either you die or I die, for the development of the enterprise, for his own future, Kim Do-jun has to do this.

A few people came to a corner of the banquet hall, calmly looked at the guests who came to the scene, unexpectedly, there were quite a few people who came today, the huge conference room, almost all of them were full of guests, everyone gathered together in twos and threes, chatting quietly.

Kim Do-jun picked up a glass of champagne casually, took a sip of it, and tasted it before he spoke.

"Huh! It tastes good! ”

"Oh? yes, then I want it too! ”

In this regard, Han Sung-ho will definitely not be left behind, standing next to Kim Do-joon, he also picked up a glass of champagne and tasted it immediately.

There were a lot of people who came to the scene, all kinds of skin tones, black, white, yellow, some looked familiar, seemed to be an artist, and some people seemed to have seen them somewhere, but they couldn't remember it for a while.

While Kim Do-joon was coldly observing, Joshua seemed to be spotted, and someone quietly walked over from a distance with a wine glass.

Because he has always been based in the UK, Joshua knows a lot of people, and there are many social occasions in the UK, but he doesn't want to go.

Of course, there are some people who will still notice a group CEO, and also control the young CEOs of Jaguar Land Rover's two car companies, plus the vice chairman of the Arsenal club, these dazzling halos naturally make him the focus of some social occasions.

It's just that he, like Kim Do-joon, seems to have developed the introverted nature that Asians have, even if he has been living in Canada and studying in Canada, it has not changed his personality, either staying in the office or staying at home, and rarely participates in this kind of activity.

If it weren't for Do-joon's coming, Joshua would still not be very happy to participate in this kind of charity gala.

I was still talking just now, but now I have come over, Joshua looked at the man in front of him, smiled slightly, looked at Kim Dojun, and saw him nodding, so he took the initiative to walk up, hugged and said hello.

"Isn't this Minister Pound, why are you here too, it's nice to meet you!"

The two of them touched the wine glass slightly, and Jose quickly greeted.

Chris Pound, Minister of Labour, one of the heavyweight guests of the dinner, also served as a guest speaker for the charity gala.

As soon as I came in, I glanced at it a little and found Joshua's figure.

To him, the British government has always been very interested, because they have two car manufacturers, actually won the support of the US government, this is unimaginable, although it was acquired from Ford, and the British government has nothing to do with it, but he secretly checked it, about the company's background information, only to find that the Internet is too simple, very clear, very clear, at a glance.

But the only strange thing is that the boss of the company doesn't know who it is, and now the only one on the table is him, and there are some people he doesn't know, which is too strange, how can there be a boss who doesn't want to show his head!

Coupled with the fact that the company is not publicly traded and is completely 100% privately owned, it seems even more mysterious.

But the more this happens, the more interested Pound becomes, and it may also be related to his job responsibilities, the Ministry of Labour, which is not only responsible for the entire British civil security, the management and distribution of pensions, and the collection, but also responsible for the national employment, wages, benefits, labor conditions, employment training, and so on.

The main agencies include the Human Resources Management Department, the Industrial Relations Department and the Wage Standards Department, etc., to put it bluntly, it has considerable real power, and even the football players of a country, whether they can enter the English football club, need to be opened by the Ministry of Labor to open the entry threshold, which shows how wide this department is and how long the hand is.

Joshua and Minister Pound had met many times because of the car company, so that was one of the reasons why he could boast about Haikou and promise Kim Do-joon that he would be able to meet them. (To be continued......)
