Gangnam in Seoul, South Korea, refers to the three administrative districts of Gangnam, Seocho and Songpa south of the Han River, where there are Apgujeong's fashion, Insadong's galleries, Nonhyeon-dong movies, Sinsa-dong's European style, etc., which is Seoul's out-and-out wealthy district. Most of the headquarters of large companies in South Korea and foreign-funded enterprises from Europe and the United States choose to settle in Gangnam.

The high-level white-collar workers who come and go in those skyscrapers are all well-dressed and earn a lot of money. Around them, large shopping malls and small shops that provide food, clothing, and housing services are impossible not to take the high-end route. Gangnam's fashion is a bellwether of middle-class life in South Korea, and it is also one of the most expensive areas in Seoul.

What Sun Ziming didn't expect was that Li Yingai's two elder brothers and one sister all had property in Qingtan Cave in Jiangnan. Li Xiuman, who came to serve as a temporary translator for Sun Ziming, saw him raise his eyebrows, and continued: "You don't care about this, do you? ”

"No, no, let the family live better, much more noble than those who spend extravagantly."

Ying Ai's deep affection for her family made Sun Ziming can't help but think of Lee Jae-hyun who she wanted to meet.

Sun Ziming sat on the black calfskin sofa, took out his cigarette and asked, "Suman, CJ was founded by the grandfather of the current president, Son Sik-kyung?" ”

Not exactly, Son Sik-kyung's grandfather, Son Hong-kyun, was Lee Meng-hee's father-in-law and Lee Byung-cheol's classmate when he was studying at Waseda University, and CJ was founded by the two of them. 6。 During the 25th War (Korean War), everyone thought that his father had been killed, so Mr. Son Hong-gyun gave all the shares of CJ to his daughter, Lee Meng-hee's wife, as a dowry before his death.

In the 70s, Mr. Sun Hongjun fled from the north with his family, and Ms. Sun Hongyuan, Li Mengxi's wife, returned the shares to her brother Sun Hongjun. At that time, Samsung Group had grown into a huge conglomerate, and CJ Corporation had also grown tremendously, so the Sun family lost its controlling stake.

Later, before his death, Mr. Lee Byung-cheol gave all of his shares in CJ to his daughter-in-law, Ms. Son Hong-won. Today, 75% of CJ Corporation's shares are actually in the hands of Ms. Son Hongwon and her nephew Son Sik-kyung. ”

Sun Ziming took two puffs of cigarette and said thoughtfully: "In other words, if Ms. Sun is on her son's side, Lee Meng-hee will lose the control of CJ?" ”

Li Xiuman thought for a while, but was still unsure: "I don't know, but I don't think it's very likely." Mr. Sun, Ms. Sun, the women of their generation, are more traditional than our generation and are unlikely to go against their husbands' wishes. ”

Yes, the women of their generation all regard their husbands as heaven, how can they stand on the side of their sons and oppose their husbands?

Li Xiuman, who was sitting on the sofa smoking with his grandson, was a little upset in his heart. Mr. Sun's intention is obvious, which is to wait for the Republic of Korea to fall into trouble, and then go to GuòCJ Co., Ltd. to buy those cheap and high-quality assets, which is a great opportunity for Hanjiang Satellite TV to transform from a film and television group into an industrial group. However, if you are only the president of SM, you may not be able to get much benefit from it.

In fact, Li Xiuman really thought wrong, Sun Ziming never thought about turning Hanjiang Satellite TV into an industrial group from beginning to end. If you want to engage in industry, the domestic market is larger and the network is deeper, why come to South Korea, where the population of 50 million is still extremely xenophobic? He just wants to take CJ's tailwind, CJ Korea Co., Ltd., this is a giant conglomerate in the future! He even thought about pulling CJ into the camp of the Far East Group and everyone working together more deeply.

The development of the Far Eastern Group to this day requires the participation of Korean enterprises in order to truly form an economic alliance between China, Russia and South Korea in the Far East. Samsung, Hyundai giants, even if they want to come in, Sun Ziming is not afraid to accept them, only a medium-sized conglomerate like CJ will not be a big bully.

……

In the evening, Lee Jae-hyun hosted a banquet at the Shilla Hotel where Sun Ziming was staying. It's just that what Sun Ziming didn't expect was that this wealthy kid actually invited two guests he didn't expect.

"Ming? God, are you really? ”

Although her figure has been strictly out of shape, Mrs. Debbie, who is still graceful, couldn't help but exclaim in a low voice when she saw Sun Ziming.

"Debbie? Wow, I didn't expect to meet you here! ”

Sun Ziming hurriedly took two steps, hugged the old friend, and said in surprise: "Where's Mark?" ”

"He's back in the UK, Ming, I really didn't expect it, we haven't seen each other for a few years?"

Thinking of the deceased David, Sun Ziming couldn't help but sigh, "It's been three years, every time I go back to Hong Kong, I only see Sha Li and Mark, but I don't see you, are you okay?" ”

"Okay, I'm fine."

Sun Ziming let go of Mrs. Debbie, and Shari next to him also hugged him and whispered in Cantonese, "Mr." Lee is our agent, and he specially invited us this time. ”

"Thank you"

After hugging the two, Sun Zi Mingcai shook hands with Sven's Lee Jae-hyun. This guy is amazing, and he can find out and use such a relationship, so it's no wonder that CJ Co., Ltd. can develop so quickly in the future.

With two old friends in common, laughter rang out at the dinner table from time to time.

After eating, Lee Jae-hyun excused himself to say goodbye first, and Debbie, who was smiling just now, smiled bitterly: "Ming, he used to be friends with David, and he is also one of the friends who can still maintain regular contact with us after David's death." ”

"It's okay, how are you doing in the past few years? I went to see you a few times, but it was very unfortunate that you were not in Hong Kong. ”

Sun Ziming smiled and poured freshly brewed green tea for Debbie with his own hands. Businessman, of course, all the relationships that can be used must be used, not to mention that he also inquired about his relationship with David. This guy is so attentive, nothing more than to show himself that he is a person who values friendship.

"Very good, thank you for your continued help. Well, I've been running in Belgium and the UK for the past few years, and I don't have much time to spend in Hong Kong. ”

Debbie thanked again, this is also a friend who does not forget the old ones, and every time she returns to Hong Kong, she will bring a gift to Mark.

"It should."

The two chatted for a while, Debbie took Shari to say goodbye, and Sun Ziming sent the two back to the hotel, watching the two leave and couldn't help but wonder in the dark. What does this Lee Jae-hyun mean? It stands to reason that Debbie shouldn't be involved? Although she is an old friend of both sides, it is impossible to persuade herself to make concessions in business.

Park Han next to him knew why, and whispered: "Boss, our luck is not good, there may be trouble in the negotiation." I heard that this Madame Debbie passed a kind of identification, and determined that she was a descendant of a great nobleman in the Kingdom of Belgium, who could inherit billions of dollars of wealth. The relationship between the two of them is so good, and CJ's project is so good, even if it can't be financed from her, she will help raise money from Europe. ”

"What? How did I not know? ”

Sun Ziming was stunned, but Park Han thought about it and confirmed: "Academically called DNA testing, it is said that this woman's husband still funded the Cambridge University project." Boss, you either read scripts or financial news every day, how can you care about these gossip news? ”

I really didn't expect that when I mentioned such a mouthful to David, I actually got myself into a big trouble! Damn, no wonder Sally reminded herself that it was the guy who took the initiative to invite them over, and Debbie said that the guy was one of her few friends.

Back in the presidential suite where Sun Ziming lived, Park Han closed the door and hesitated: "Boss, I think that Debbie and Sally have a very good relationship with you, can you let them not participate in this matter?" ”

Sun Ziming sighed, it was purely embarrassing for others. She suffered such a big blow at the beginning, although he helped her, Lee Jae-hyun has been dating her for seven or eight years, and he is also a real friend in her heart. Hey, the friendship in the snow is enough to make people grateful to Dade.

This Lee Jae-hyun is amazing, it seems that it was after his father gave up the lead that CJ soared to the sky! When doing business in Asia, a lot of time is to be a person, and the more people you can be, the more people you can help, the easier it is to make your business bigger. Didn't you just rely on a group of friends to build such a big stall in a few years?

After thinking for a while, Sun Ziming finally made up his mind and instructed: "Han Ze, negotiate with CJ Corporation immediately, the terms can be more generous." As long as you get the shares of the cinema chain and the high-speed network, the rest can be relented. ”

“Ok”

"Let's also check why CJ doesn't raise money from overseas financial institutions. Since they were able to cooperate with Spielberg to set up DreamWorks, it was impossible not to have a little overseas connection. ”

"Well, I'll have someone check it out right away."
