Chapter 244 Mutual Holding of Shares
Although Li Bingzhe drank a bowl of ginseng soup, and ginseng soup is the best medicine to replenish yang qi, it is impossible for him to have a long conversation in this situation.
So the conversation between the two is very concise and direct, and it is indeed as Jester and Lee Kun-hee thought before, Lee Byung-chul is indeed paving the way for the future of Samsung, although he has already chosen a successor in his heart, but after all, his successor is still young, and he has worked hard all his life to create this family business into the hands of the other party, he does not make his own arrangements, after all, he is not at ease.
Li Bingzhe's face showed a look of remembrance, and a smile appeared on his ruddy face: "I am also a dying person, I have experienced countless crises in my life, and I won't talk about it for too long, but recently, there was the Han Fei incident, and this time the incident ......"
He didn't continue, but Jester knew about the Han Fei incident that had a profound impact on Samsung, which not only almost wiped out most of Lee Byung-chul's life's hard work, but also made Samsung completely change its business model.
To be honest, if it weren't for the blow of the Han Fei incident, the current Samsung may not represent its investment direction on behalf of the future high-tech semiconductor industry, maybe they will continue on the road of chemical industry, and Jester also believes that with the talent of Lee Byung-cheol and Lee Kun-hee and his son, Samsung may not be able to become a fertilizer giant across the world in the future.
But there is no point in talking about it now.
Because the current Samsung has disappeared forever in history with their former dream of Han Fei.
"Mr. Li, you are a smart person, if my guess is correct, Jianxi has already met you when you first arrived, right?" Although Li Bingzhe used a questioning tone, the smile on his face was clearly expressed. He wasn't a question at all, and he didn't have the slightest doubt.
"Ahem......"
Maybe it was too much, Li Bingzhe coughed slightly. After that, Jester could clearly see his face, which was still extremely ruddy. There was a hint of paleness, but it wasn't noticeable.
He just waved his hand slightly, signaling that Jester didn't need to get up, and Li Bingzhe couldn't help but sigh: "My body is really not good, if I had stayed ten years ago, I could still climb Mount Kongo." First of all, I remembered my own words.
Then, finally, to get to the real point.
"Li Jun, if I use Samsung Trading Company to hold shares with your Jester Holdings. What is the maximum number of shares you can exchange? Li Bingzhe went straight to the point, and at this time, there was no need for him to say the meaning of beating around the bush.
Jester had also expected the other party to be so direct before, and he had thought about it before, but let him say it so directly as if the other party was so direct, Jester was still a little hesitant.
It's not a disagreement or a lack of decision, it's just a natural habit.
"Mr. Li, the shares I can exchange are equal to the shares you can take out, and it all depends on your intentions to exchange and hold each other." Jester was silent for a moment. So said.
Li Bingzhe was not satisfied with Jester's answer, but he did not show a dissatisfied look, he still nodded as usual.
Then he gestured a little closer to Jester.
Jester didn't hesitate either. He stood up directly, came to the hospital bed, and leaned down.
Lee Byung-cheol also tilted his head, put his lips next to Jester's ear, and whispered a few words, and as he spoke, the expression on his face did not change in the slightest.
But Jester is the polar opposite.
At the same time as he heard Li Bingzhe whispering in his ear, his face changed instantly, and his shining pupils were in his shiny pupils. At this moment, he showed a look of surprise and joy. Because he hadn't expected it at all. The other side is able to make such concessions.
For Jester, such a concession from the other party is too huge.
It even gave him some unreal feelings.
And Lee Byung-chul was obviously satisfied with the shock that what he had just said to Jester, and a smile different from the previous one appeared on his face.
However, when Jester recovered quickly from his surprise, he immediately felt that something was abnormal, so he looked at Li Bingzhe who was looking at him with a smile in some surprise, and the look on Li Bingzhe's face was still the same.
Before Jester could ask, Li Bingzhe took the initiative to speak.
"Mr. Li, I admire your talent very much, to be able to go to your age to achieve such an achievement, it is really the only thing I have seen in my old man's life." Saying that, Li Bingzhe was obviously a little exhausted, he coughed a few more times, and then forced himself down and continued.
"In my opinion, an investment can not only look at the present, but also look at the future, Samsung's roots are in South Korea, in this land, but Samsung wants to go out of South Korea, step into the world, and grow into a real enterprise with international influence, it is impossible to rely only on a small place like South Korea, South Korea is not Japan, nor is it the huge empire that is slowly recovering."
As he spoke, Li Bingzhe's appreciative eyes became more and more intense when he looked at Jester.
However, Jester was still a little puzzled, and he didn't hide it, after all, it was also about the future of his business and dreams, so he asked directly: "Mr. Li, with all due respect, as far as I know, many American and European giant companies are interested in South Korea, just like Ford cooperated with Hyundai, and you also cooperated with Total in the chemical field before, if you are willing to take out the shares of Cheng DΓΉ that you just told me, I think even IBM will be tempted." β
Hearing Jester's words, Li Bingzhe also nodded again and again, he obviously agreed: "You are right, IBM may be tempted, but compared to our Samsung, IBM is too huge." β
Li Bingzhe's words went straight to Jester's heart, and he now understands why Samsung chose himself as a partner, not only because he is the largest buyer of Samsung Electronics, but more importantly, he is not strong, compared to giants like IBM, he and Samsung are just babies.
Samsung Trading Co., Ltd. looks huge, but their First Sugar and First Textile will not be able to get out of the Korean market in a short period of time, and their petrochemical industry, Samsung C&T or Samsung Shipbuilding can only rely on the soil of South Korea at present, because of the lack of sufficient international competitiveness.
Although Jester knows that these companies will be famous in the future, the current Samsung is far from the terrible empire of the future.
The current Samsung, even in the eyes of his founder, just wants to make a desperate bet, relying on all the bets on Samsung Electronics, only in this emerging industry, can they get the most desired certain international competitiveness, so that Samsung's products can really buy the world.
Instead of relying on OEM for Japanese companies, as was the case before, they were able to get people to buy their products.
Although Lee Kun-hee may have a long-term vision now than his father, and he just wants to build Samsung into South Korea's Sony, Jester has heard before that Lee Kun-hee has asked employees to learn from Sony several times in Samsung Electronics.
"I understand, Mr. Li, I can't refuse such a condition of yours no matter what."
Jester thought for a while and nodded, but the specific agreement is not so easy to negotiate, this interview between the two is just to set the tone for this mutual shareholding, but how to enter the mutual holding, it will require the efforts of the respective teams of both sides.
Before Jester left, Lee Byung-cheol even smiled and said to him, asking him to tell Lee Kun-hee about the content of their meeting and conversation this time, which made him feel relieved, but at the same time, Lee Byung-cheol also mentioned something about Lee Meng-hee, when mentioning the three words Lee Meng-hee.
As Li Mengxi's biological father, Li Bingzhe's eyes became extremely indifferent and ruthless at that moment.
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Jester would have hardly imagined that a dying man with a withered face and a gossamer whose body was about to be buried in the ground could have such a terrible look.
Jester also saw this scene, this is also a helpless way, doesn't Lee Byung-cheol love his son? Jester doesn't think so, it's just that compared to the continuation of his life's work, his son seems dispensable.
And Jester had just come out of the hospital, and Lee Kun-hee had already arranged the car.
Jester didn't talk nonsense, and took his two assistants who had been waiting outside the ward for a long time, and directly boarded the car and drove towards Lee Kun-hee's home.
Li Jianxi's home is on the outskirts of Seoul, and it doesn't occupy a large area, of course, this is according to his identity, but it is obviously a famous family, with pavilions and pavilions, everything, quite a feeling of ancient wealth.
When approaching the living room, Jester's ears moved, as if he heard a roaring sound, and after the roaring sound, there were two completely different cries, one large and one small, and listening to the sound, the roar at the beginning should have been made by Lee Kun-hee.
And the cry that followed should have been two girls.
As we got closer to the living room, the crying became clearer, and Jester was even more sure that the crying was caused by the two little girls.
Confused, Jester glanced at the person who accompanied him to Lee Kun-hee, obviously wanting to ask.
However, these escorts were also at a loss, and they didn't know what was going on inside. (To be continued) R655
