Chapter 777: The wealthy have many grievances
Samsung Group is the largest conglomerate in South Korea, including 85 subsidiaries and several other legal entities, and has established nearly 300 legal entities and offices in nearly 70 countries and regions, with a total of more than 200,000 employees, and its business involves electronics, finance, machinery, chemistry and many other fields, contributing about 1/5 of Korea's GDP.
The Washington Post once referred to South Korea as the "Republic of Samsung," saying that South Koreans cannot avoid three things in their lifetime: death, taxes and Samsung. The report jokingly said that South Koreans could live in a world with only one brand, Samsung: buy a Samsung TV with a Samsung credit card, put it in an apartment built by Samsung, and watch a professional baseball team under the Samsung group play.
……
Sun Ziming made Park Hanze's bastard angry again, CJ Korea Co., Ltd. is actually Lee Mengxi's industry, and Lee Mengxi is the eldest son of Lee Byung-cheol, the founder of Samsung Group, known as the 'stable crown prince'!
What's even more hateful is that this fat bastard still has small eyes with a single eyelid and innocently pleads, "Boss, don't you know the background of CJ Corporation?" ”
"Lao Tzu knows a fart!"
After scolding, Sun Ziming thought about what the problem was, Jiang Peng took care of these things before. South Korea's film and television business is managed by Hong Kong Light and Shadow, but because the Far Eastern Group is cooperating with South Korea's business community, the situation there is first gathered here by Jiang Peng, and what he can't handle will be reported to Sun Ziming. If everything has to go through Sun Ziming, where will he have the time to make two movies a year and help two film companies review film projects?
"", Sun Ziming, who was at a loss, scolded, and couldn't help but think of Jiang Peng's guy again.
No, we have to find someone who can replace Jiang Peng's bastard! Jill, Betty, Douglas...... A selection flashed through Sun Ziming's mind, and he vetoed them one by one, either because he was not capable enough, or his loyalty and trust were not high enough.
Unable to think of the right person, Sun Ziming had to put it down first, "Ok, tell me why you are eyeing CJ Corporation?" ”
The white and fat Park Han's eyes immediately lit up, and he said excitedly: "Boss, why did Lee Mengxi go to the Far Eastern Bank for a loan, instead of looking for Samsung Life Insurance or other Korean financial institutions?" ”
"They are also completely torn apart because of the issue of inheriting the family property, and Lee Kun-hee is using his influence to embarrass CJ?"
That's why, that's why they went to Far Eastern Bank. Boss, now that their capital chain is in trouble and the stock price has been falling, if we want to buy CJ Corporation, there is a good chance that Samsung Group will stand by and watch! ”
Park Hanze's ignorance made Sun Tzu laugh angrily and mocked: "You also have a human face, and your brain is not as smart as a monkey!" ”
“Why?”
Sun Ziming patted his face with his hand and sneered: "Face! It's okay for Lee Kun-hee to embarrass his brother as much as he wants, but if we go to annex CJ, he'll immediately put on a posture and fight with us. Just like your son, it's okay for you to kick yourself twice, and someone else can try it? ”
Park Han scratched his head and said embarrassedly, "Boss, I thought it was wrong. ”
"Okay, okay, I didn't expect you to think in the Oriental way so soon, just watch the TV station and the film and television company!"
Annexation didn't work, and Park Han instinctively thought of cooperation, and said, "Boss, then we'll cooperate!" When Samsung's Lee family split up, CJ got a lot of commercial real estate, but there was a lack of funds, so we could work together. ”
Sun Zi Mingmo rubbed his chin, this construction is feasible. Li Mengxi failed to fight for the inheritance, but those upper-level relations, industrial and commercial connections were still there, but Li Jianxi was suppressed, and no one dared to reach out to help him for the time being. Besides, if CJ can develop into such a large group in the future, he must have a few brushes himself, so why not send charcoal in the snow and make a fortune on someone's boat?
"Yes, it makes sense", Sun Ziming picked up the phone to find Xiao Qi, ready to let him go to matchmaking. The fortress is the easiest to attack from the inside, if you can cooperate with Lee Mengxi, when South Korea is full of mourning, I don't know how much cheapness you can pick up!
But Sun Ziming didn't expect that Xiao Qi also happened to want to find him.
Xiao Qi understands his fifth brother's style, if he takes a fancy to something, he won't give up until he gets it. Now that CJ has shelved the construction of a high-speed network, there is no danger of breaking the capital chain, so why not sit down and talk about cooperation?
"Fifth brother, the construction of CJ Corporation's cinema line and high-speed network has been put on hold due to lack of funds. You have a lot of friends in the United States, see if you can help him raise some money? ”
Sun Ziming laughed twice and scolded: "Xiao Qi, you have learned to play with your brother, right?" Sue Sun Zhijing, I fancy their cinema line and high-speed network, as well as their group's shares. If they agree to cooperate, I can support them to continue to scale up after the financial crisis. ”
"And now?"
Park Han, who was next to the phone, hurriedly whispered: "Boss, the theater chain can be put on first, and the high-speed network must be obtained first." The capital chain of the first road company is broken, and we are just filling it. ”
"Hmm", Sun Ziming let go of the microphone, "The theater will put it on for a while, and let's talk about the Internet first." If they are willing to cooperate, I can finance them. Rest assured, I don't want a controlling stake, just the right to financial supervision and the right to speak commensurate with the shares. ”
"Well, I'll get in touch with him."
After speaking, Xiao Qi reminded again, "Fifth brother, the network is not only under construction by CJ, but also by Samsung." If you can't talk, let Samsung take the lead. ”
Sun Ziming sneered, he is the majority shareholder of Cisco, and Samsung still wants to compete with him in this regard?
"Alright, I got it. I'm going to Seoul on a business trip in the next few days, and if CJ agrees to cooperate, I'll go two days early. ”
"Hmm"
A few minutes later, Sun Zhijing, who had been waiting for a reply, got Xiao Qi's reply and looked at Li Mengxi next to him excitedly.
Crisis, crisis, behind the danger is opportunity!
As long as the chairman nods, the two sides can quickly complete the construction of the high-speed network, forcing Samsung to give up this piece of fat. Even if Samsung doesn't give up, it will be able to get a head start on users, and as long as the service level is not inferior to Samsung's, CJ will have an advantage in network operation!
Li Mengxi was also excited, the decline of inheritance rights made him almost live in seclusion, if he was to suppress the old three on the emerging high-speed network, it would not only be a commercial interest but also a dignified significance.
But the most difficult thing in this matter is the capital, the capital chain of the first road company is about to break, and although CJ has been expanding cautiously, the funds have also been used to the limit. Now that the financial crisis is coming, and with the bastard of Kun-hee, CJ is in a good financial position and is unable to raise enough money from the financial market.
There is a gap of more than 600 million yuan for the first road company, and more than 300 million yuan for CJ, a total of more than 1 billion US dollars! Lee Meng-hee looked uncertain, if this is to let the Chinese in, can the new high-speed network still be CJ's? High-speed networking is an emerging industry, and this billion dollars is just an estimate, what if the budget is overrun? The other party can add funds, what should I do?
Sun Ziming, chairman of the Far Eastern Group, who was able to build a huge corporate empire in ten years, must have seen a huge opportunity after the crisis in South Korea. In case he not only takes a fancy to the Internet and theaters, but also wants CJ to help acquire other companies, can he agree? It's difficult, help, you just eat inside and out; If you don't help, don't you look at the big opportunity? ……
Seeing that the chairman looked hesitant and his face changed impermanently, Sun Zhijing also immediately sobered up from his excitement, thought of his worries, and couldn't help but sigh at the old man's conservatism. The elders have a long-term vision, but they are cautious and conservative, and even hold back at critical moments. It's no wonder that he has an innate advantage as the eldest son in the competition with Lord Lee Kun-hee, and Lord Lee Byung-cheol has been carefully cultivating for decades, but he will still lose in the end.
This is a great opportunity, an opportunity that may allow CJ to rise quickly!
Taiwan announced that it would abandon the fixed exchange rate, will South Korea be far away?
Once the financial crisis officially comes, I don't know how many chaebols will fall, and I don't know how many social resources will be released. As long as CJ can get enough money, he can quickly build a new corporate empire on the bones of those chaebols. If it weren't for the fact that half of the high-speed network has been built, and there is Samsung behind it, and the industry prospects are very good, I can't wait to stop, gather all the funds, and wait for those chaebols to fall.
Unfortunately, CJ has the final say, and although he is also the majority shareholder of the company, the decision-making power is in the hands of the chairman who does not have a share.
Just as Sun Zhijing was secretly sighing, Vice Chairman Lee Jae-hyun came, and after asking a few words in a low voice, he bowed to his father and said, "President, President Sun's father is about to have surgery, and we have to go to the hospital immediately." ”
Li Mengxi woke up like a dream, and hurriedly said: "Yes, Brother Gu Zai had surgery today, and your mother confessed to me yesterday." Let's go and go to the hospital together. ”
Li Zaixian hurriedly stopped him and whispered: "Father, I can just go to the hospital with Zhijing, you have to decide whether to cooperate with the Far Eastern Group, and your uncle will be considerate of you." ”
Sun Zhijing next to him also said: "Uncle, you should be busy with business first, and Brother Zaixian and I will go to the hospital." My father always wanted CJ to be brilliant again, and it was just a minor operation. ”
"That's okay, I'll go to the hospital to see Brother Gu Zai after I'm done with this."
Done with this? How can a person like Lee Mengxi, who has a good vision but is indecisive, make up his mind decisively?
……
Out of the office, Lee Jae-hyun whispered as he walked: "Zhijing, father is still hesitating?" ”
Sun Zhijing smiled bitterly, and when the two of them entered the elevator, he said helplessly: "Brother Zaixian, you don't know your uncle's character?" ”
Lee Jae-hyun also sighed helplessly, to say that he has a long-term vision, his father is definitely an excellent leader. He and Uekyo haven't seen the prospect of the Internet clearly, and he can see its broad prospects, but he would rather suffer from the cynicism of the third uncle than make up his mind to break away from Samsung's independent portal. If he hadn't made a little move, maybe he would still be the vice chairman of Samsung, but he wouldn't even be as good as a senior manager.
Now that it's here again, my father must have seen the prospect of cooperation between the two sides, but he has begun to dwell on the controlling stake and the prestige of the family.
After being distressed for a while, Lee Jae-hyun said angrily: "Zhijing, you can say anything you can." In addition to your mother, you are the largest individual shareholder of CJ, and CJ was founded by your grandfather! ”
Sun Zhijing felt bitter in his heart, last time he helped him come up with an idea, forcing his uncle to break away from the three-star, and he carried a black cauldron. Now it's here again, and my cousin wants to let me carry the black pot again, so that my uncle can give up the decision-making power.
In fact, between their father and son, what is there to discuss? Always let yourself be caught in the middle and embarrass yourself.
Son Zhijing's complaint made Lee Jae-hyun sigh and said, "Zhijing, do you know why my grandfather didn't give my father any property, but gave his share to my mother?" I just don't want to see family infighting, if I go directly to my father, what will he think, and what will my mother do?"
Lee Jae-hyun's sigh also made Sun Zhijing sigh, there are many grievances in the wealthy family.
"Forget it, I'll do my best in this matter, you first find a way to avoid your uncle and talk to Mr. Sun. If this opportunity is seized, CJ will be able to become a new chaebol even if it is not as good as Samsung. ”
After being silent for a while, Lee Jae-hyun finally made up his mind and said in a deep voice: "You first find a way to persuade your father, but if you can't do it, you can drag him first, if he really doesn't agree, you have to let your mother come forward." I will deal with the financing matter, it just so happens that I have a friend in Hong Kong who has a large amount of cash on hand, and if Mr. Sun's conditions are too harsh, I will ask her to borrow money or contact her, and it is okay to raise money from overseas. ”
Sun Zhijing sighed, the solution still fell on his uncle and aunt, if they were unwilling to give up the company's shares, nothing was used.
