Chapter 1119: An Unbearable Threat
readx;
The charge of bribing an EU official, who is also an official of the European Commission, is not light, but Zheng Mengxian did not condemn William. Lando's words are the same thing: What are you kidding, you can bluff me with a word, so I will let you do a good job as the co-chairman of the board of directors of Hyundai Group. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
He said indifferently: "Mr. William, I think you probably misunderstood me, Hyundai Group does not intend to bribe any EU officials, whether it is you or anyone else, but we are a hospitable country, and the Republic of Korea is full of goodwill towards European friends, and I am very happy to do my best on behalf of the Korean people...... If you feel that this will cause some inconvenience and misunderstanding to your trip to Korea, well, well, I will say hello to the government, and the government will come forward to receive you, in short, I will let you feel the customs of Korea and the warmth of the Korean people. ā
William. Lando was a little disappointed.
Although he knew that he couldn't bluff Zheng Mengxian with just two simple words, this still disappointed him, shrugged his shoulders, and said, "Then don't worry, I'm not here for official business this time......
Of course, I know that you are not here on official business, you are speaking for the Philips Group! As for William. Why would Lando be willing to speak for Philips Group, Zheng Mengxian can also guess in his heart that one ** is not far from ten.
Not waiting for William. After Lando finished speaking, Zheng Mengxian stretched out his hand and made a "please" gesture: "Mr. Inzaghi, Mr. William, this is not the place to speak, please come with me." ā
ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦
There are no outsiders, and Inzaghi naturally has no need to hide his intentions, he said to Zheng Mengxian very aggressively and unceremoniously: "Mr. Zheng, you probably already know my intention, right?" ā
At this time, there was no need to pretend to be stupid, the smile on Zheng Mengxian's face was also put away, nodded, and asked lightly: "Is it for the LCD business segment that Hyundai Electronics is preparing to sell?" ā
"That's right," Zheng Mengxian said what he meant, and Inzaghi was not surprised, if Zheng Mengxian couldn't guess it, he would surprise himself. He didn't bother to waste his time. He opened his mouth and said, "Mr. Zheng, let me be frank, on the matter of whether to sell the LCD business segment to the Chinese. I hope you will consider it carefully. ā
"Otherwise?" Zheng Mengxian turned his head to look at William. Lando glanced at it and said lightly: "Can I understand what Mr. Inzaghi means: If Hyundai Electronics insists on cooperating with the Chinese, the EU will impose sanctions on Hyundai Group?" ā
"Of course not," said William. Lando smiled. It was as slippery as a loach, and he didn't leave his hand: "Mr. Zheng, I think you misunderstood what I meant, I just came to South Korea as a private person and friends this time, and it does not represent the EU official, nor does it represent any party......"
Zheng Mengxian raised his eyebrows. Said mockingly: "Oh? ā
It does not represent the official European Union. It doesn't represent either side, do you really think I'm a fool?
In the end, it was the tried and tested old bureaucrat, William. Lando's face changed unchanged, and he was not ashamed of his behavior at all, and said calmly: "But Mr. Zheng, I advise you in my personal capacity that although TFT-LCD technology is not a technology that Batumi and the EU prohibit from importing to the Chinese, Hyundai Electronics' sale of its LCD business segment to the Chinese does not violate any laws and regulations, and the EU will certainly not do anything to Hyundai Group." I personally understand what you're doing, but as a friend, I suggest that you, Mr. Zheng, think carefully about how to handle your relationship with your EU counterparts in the process, don't you think? ā
That's the naked threat, William. Lando's meaning is very clear: yes, the EU and the previous Batumi did not restrict the import of TFT-LCD technology to China, if Hyundai Electronics insists on doing so, the EU really can't do anything about your Hyundai Electronics, but Zheng Mengxian, do you think the EU will sit back and watch your Hyundai Group damage the interests of EU enterprises and be indifferent?
Dream on!
Sounds like a very serious threat. Zheng Mengxian subconsciously turned his head and glanced at Inzaghi, who was there, and couldn't help gritting his teeth and scolding: These damn British and American ghost animals!
Although "Anglo-American ghost animals" is a contemptuous term for Europeans and Americans by the Japanese, at this moment, Zheng Mengxian feels that only the four words "Anglo-American ghost animals" can describe the hatefulness of the Philips Group and the European Union, these bastards are really a group of ghost animals!
But gritting his teeth, he could not and did not dare not take William. Lando's threat is one thing.
Although William. Lando has repeatedly stated that he came to South Korea in a private capacity, but in Jung's opinion, William. The arrival of Lando and Inzaghi itself represents the attitude of the EU and the TFT-LCD enterprises within the EU: although Batumi does not stipulate that TFT-LCD technology is not allowed to flow into China, and in legal terms, the EU does not have practical legal provisions and regulations to prevent the Hyundai Group from doing so, but the EU can restrict the Hyundai Group in many ways.
Zheng Mengxian didn't dare to try it easily, because in the export business of Hyundai Group, exports to the EU accounted for about 35%, if Hyundai Electronics really hated the EU because of this matter, the EU really intends to find trouble with Hyundai Group, and Hyundai Group, which is in the midst of an economic crisis, may not be able to bear it......
However, why can you Philips make a lot of money in the TFT-LCD business, and we at Hyundai Electronics can't even sell the business for cash? Zheng Mengxian is unwilling, really unwilling. But no matter how unwilling he was, Zheng Mengxian really didn't dare to ignore William. The threat in Lando's words, gritting his teeth, finally made a decision: "Hyundai Group has always respected the EU and values the friendship with its European counterparts, if LG-Philips is willing to acquire Hyundai Electronics' LCD business at a suitable price, we will immediately stop contact with the Chinese." ā
LG-Philips is a South Korean LG Group and the Netherlands Philips Group jointly established a production of TFT-LCD color LCD panel enterprises, just put into production this year, in Zheng Mengxian thinks, Hyundai Group's TFT-LCD color LCD panel production capacity is also the world's ninth, if LG-Philips acquires Hyundai's LCD business sector, not only their market share will immediately rise to the world's third level, but also help Hyundai Group, everyone is a free world enterprise, Isn't it right to help each other?
But hearing Zheng Mengxian's words, Inzaghi immediately laughed: "Mr. Zheng, are you joking with me?" ā
"What do you mean, Mr. Inzaghi?" Zheng Mengxian's face suddenly became unsightly.
"I mean, LG-Philips LCD will not acquire the LCD business of Hyundai Electronics, and I also recommend you, sincerely advise you, not to sell the LCD business segment to Chinese, that's what it means, do you understand?" By the time Inzaghi finished speaking, he had already forced his eyes in front of Zheng Mengxian.
Zheng Mengxian's face turned blue in an instant!
Damn Philips, not only refused to acquire the LCD business segment of Hyundai Group, but also brought in an alternate member of the European Commission, threatening itself in the name of the European Union that Hyundai Group would not be allowed to sell the LCD business segment to Chinese to raise funds, are they planning to starve Hyundai Group to life?
Logically speaking, Zheng Mengxian can understand Inzaghi's meaning, from the perspective of business relationship, Hyundai Electronics' LCD business segment is a competitor of LG-Philips LCD Company, which will not change whether Hyundai Group holds the LCD business segment or sells the LCD business segment to a third party, for LG-Philips LCD Company, the best way to protect its own interests is to "starve" the LCD business of Hyundai Group.
In this way, the first can organize Chinese to obtain the core technology of TFT-LCD color liquid crystal display panels; second, it allows L-Philips LCD to continue to maintain its previous high profit and monopoly position; Third, it hit its competitors again, which is simply a few in one fell swoop.
But for Hyundai Group, if it really fulfills Philips' wishes, it will lose a lot.
The LCD business sector can help Hyundai Group at least withdraw 400 million US dollars of funds, with this 400 million US dollars of funds, Hyundai Group can completely get rid of the current predicament, continue to maintain its position as the first consortium in South Korea, and what is more terrifying is that it is very likely that the wall will fall down and everyone will push the situation, Samsung Group, which ranks behind Hyundai Group, has long been eyeing the status of Hyundai Group, how can they let go of such a good opportunity to overturn Hyundai Group?
Damn LG!
They must have wanted to attack the Hyundai clique in such a despicable and shameless way, how could I do what they wanted?!
But no matter how annoyed they may be, the EU's is like a mountain, and when one of their alternate members implicitly makes it clear, the pressure on the Hyundai Group is too great. With a gloomy face, Zheng Mengxian nodded with difficulty: "We will consider this carefully." ā
"That's the best," Inzaghi said with a smile on his face, satisfied with the results, "Mr. Zheng, although you do have some losses by doing this, believe me, you actually gain more than what you lose." ā
Why didn't I see what I was getting?
Sent off Inzaghi and William. Lando, Zheng Mengxian couldn't hold back any longer, and slapped the table heavily: "Call everyone here, there is a very urgent meeting, everyone has to come to attend, there is no important reason, no one is allowed to be absent!" (To be continued.) )
