Chapter 865 Approval Failed
In the lounge of the Philadelphia Club, Zheng Mengxian looked at the materials in his hand happily, but the joy on his face could not be concealed. The reason why he was so out of shape was naturally the material given by Lu Jing.
The materials that Lu Jing gave to Zheng Mengxian were the materials for tax evasion and bribery by Lee Kun-hee of Samsung Group. This virtual and real, sorted material was provided to him by Yan Shining. If the South Korean prosecutor gets this material, it will be easy to find a breakthrough.
The reason why we have to organize the materials and make them look like half-truths is to protect some informants.
"Great, great." Zheng Mengxian said in a loud voice, and it took a while for his excitement to calm down, and he said sincerely: "Mr. Lu, thank you very much, if there is anything you need my service for, please do not hesitate to give me." ”
With this material, he will get out of his current political crisis. South Korean prosecutors have been investigating his involvement in the political donations of the previous government because he was embroiled in the whirlpool of factional struggles in South Korean politics. Attacking him would give him additional political capital, and with Lee Kun-hee's case in the past, the pressure on him would be greatly reduced. Not to mention that he can completely get rid of the entanglement of the Korean prosecutor, but he can only not affect the company's operation and his daily life.
Lu Jing smiled and lit a cigarette, and said warmly: "President Zheng, if I need your help in the future, I will definitely bring it up." ”
Zheng Meng was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Lu Jing to have no request, pondered for a while, and said sincerely: "Okay." Please Mr. Lu Jing believe in my business reputation. ”
Lu Jing nodded slightly and said with a smile: "I have always believed in President Zheng's business reputation. ”
He put the materials in Zheng Mengxian's hands because Samsung Electronics was Jinghua's opponent.
Assuming that Lee Kun-hee has an accident and is forced to retire behind the scenes, the impact on Samsung Electronics will be huge. Samsung will inevitably adjust its management structure to ensure that Lee Kun-hee, who has stepped back into the background, can continue to control Samsung. And this. It's bound to confuse Samsung for a while.
Samsung's chaos will be extremely beneficial to Jinghua. The nascent Jinghua company urgently needs time to develop technology, expand the market, and consolidate its foundation.
On the way back from the Philadelphia Club to the Shilla Seoul Hotel, Ding Ling asked curiously, "Lu Jing." What did you and Zheng Meng talk about first? He has a spring breeze on his face, and he seems to be very respectful of you. ”
"What do you want to know what Lu Dao is for?" Lu Jing smiled and hugged Ding Ling. Zhao Zi's mouth is very tight. Cheng Jianfeng was in another car.
Ding Ling nodded.
Lu Jing sighed on her white-greasy earlobes and whispered, "Come to my room at night." ”
"It's bad for you." Ding Ling bit his lip and slapped Lu Jing with a shy hand.
Lu Jingha laughed
…
"The prosecution has evidence of tax evasion by Samsung Group, and will launch a new round of investigation into it, although Samsung Group strongly denies it, but this time, the prosecution's evidence is conclusive..."
"An employee of an art company affiliated with Samsung Group has accused Samsung Group of bribery to celebrities such as parliamentarians, prosecutors, journalists, and socialites by buying art..."
"I have been in the art market because of the impact of the Samsung bribery-bribery case, and the turnover has plummeted..."
"Recent unfavorable market rumors have sent stocks associated with Samsung Group down. Indices across the stock market have also been dragged down..."
The recent public opinion in Seoul has been completely ignited. Samsung Group is one of the pillars of the Korean economy, and its every move is extremely scrutinized. One news after another is like a storm to reveal the ugly inside story of Samsung Group to the public.
Voices in South Korea about the need to crack down on the big chaebols continue to grow.
In the 60s of the last century, Park Chung-hee, who was a military soldier at the time, took over the government, and then served three consecutive terms, and for 15 years, South Korea rose to become one of the four Asian tigers. A number of huge chaebols in South Korea have obtained various preferential conditions and monopoly rights from the government, and the government has supported the chaebols to reflect their policy intentions and stabilize the economic order.
However, in the 90s of the 20 th century, the drawbacks of the "chaebol economy" that are not conducive to market-oriented competition and are prone to give rise to corruption have also become increasingly apparent. The South Korean government is aware of this. It's just that. After years of anti-corruption-corruption campaigns and political reforms, the inextricable links between the government and big business continue to influence South Korea's political and economic system today.
This doomed the game between the South Korean government and the chaebols to no end.
Samsung's involvement in tax evasion scandals and bribery-bribery scandals has tilted the scales in favor of the South Korean government.
However, just when Samsung was in a hurry. The initiator of all this is accompanying Li Muqing, Wu Xuan, and Ding Ling to go shopping leisurely at the Xinshi Lujie Department Store in Times Square, the largest comprehensive shopping center in Seoul.
The Shinse-eongjeongjeongpo store is the most famous landmark in the western part of Seoul. Connecting the main building and the new building, the new world department store and E-MART supermarket (E-MART) are a comprehensive shopping center with a star-rated hotel, a multi-screen cinema and more than 200 fashion, food and culture stores.
The blue glass curtain is filled with white clouds, and the bustling flow of people is like weaving. In a booth outside a cold drink shop. Wu Xuan stroked the curly hair of the shawl, chuckled and said to Lu Jing, "You are secretly proud!" She knows the inside scoop on Samsung's involvement in the scandal.
Lu Jing put down the newspaper in his hand. smiled and said: "Could it be that the thing has been done successfully, and I am not allowed to be proud for a while?" I said I had a small heart. Samsung's tough asking price of $350 million made me uncomfortable. ”
Wu Xuan covered her mouth and smiled. Under the white shirt, the full-plump-straight breast-peak trembled slightly, which was extremely fascinating. Perhaps, but the more important reason is that Lu Jing wants to create chaos for Samsung. Yan Shining's material cost is not cheap, 3 million US dollars! No matter how Lu Jing is, he will not throw out $3 million in one go.
Li Muqing and Ding Ling bought ice cream and cold drinks back. Handing the cold drink in his hand to Lu Jing, Ding Ling asked with a smile, "Sister Xuan, why are you smiling so happily?" ”
Wu Xuan pointed to the Korean newspaper on the table, and said, "The rats who are hiding behind the scenes and stealing oil are very proud in front of me." ”
Ding Ling didn't read the newspaper, but glanced at Li Muqing with a snicker.
Even though Li Muqing has a fierce personality, he is still a little embarrassed to be teased by such a pun. Last night in the presidential suite of the Renaissance Seoul Hotel, she and Lu Jing gave each other the greatest happiness. Maybe the movement is a bit loud, and when he got up in the morning, Wu Xuan also joked that he heard the squeak of rats stealing oil all night long. Where is the sound of rats. What a shame!
Wu Xuan's eyes smiled flatteringly, changed the topic, and asked, "Lu Jing, when are you going to see Xiaoxiao in Perth?" ”
"I'll stay with you for a few more days, and I'll go to Perth after the South Korean government approves the deal between Hyundai Semiconductor and us." Lu Jing smiled and patted the back of Li Muqing's hand, signaling her not to be a "thief" and not to be weak-minded.
Li Muqing glared at Lu Jing sultryly, and said silently: Who is like you, thick-skinned and the same as the city wall.
After the four of them finished shopping, they found a restaurant to eat, and returned to the Renaissance Seoul Hotel in the evening. The room at the Shilla Hotel in Seoul did not go back, but in order to facilitate the meeting with Li Muqing and Wu Xuan, Lu Jing changed to the Renaissance Hotel in Seoul, which is adjacent to Gangnam District, at night. As soon as they arrived at the door of the hotel, the three beauties had very different styles, which turned the camera of the entertainment reporter guarding the door of the hotel. Lu Jing and the others hurriedly walked into the hotel.
"Fortunately, you are not big stars, otherwise you would not be safe shopping in South Korea." Lu Jing pressed the elevator and said with a smile to the three girls who rushed in, "Oh, Li Muqing, is this here to wait for Li Hye Kyo's entertainment paparazzi?" ”
"If this hotel doesn't have Mingxue who is a bigger name than her, it should be her." Li Muqing said with a smile. The beautiful Lee Hye Kyo has become purple in South Korea in a short period of time. Becoming popular with his own hands as an idol-level singer made Li Muqing feel very proud.
Wu Xuan's appearance is hot, but his temperament is very gentle. In fact, it is also to make fun of Li Muqing, who is sexy-sensy and bright, and she has a very harmonious relationship with Li Muqing. After arriving at the hotel room, the two of them crossed arms and laughed and talked about music. Wu Xuan is a music enthusiast.
Seeing the two women with hot bodies and different personalities chatting together, Lu Jing shook his head with a smile, and went to the study with Ding Ling to deal with work matters. Although there is nothing to do in Korea right now, it is similar to a vacation, but there is still a daily mail to deal with. He entangled with Li Muqing last night for most of the night, and secretly had fun with Wu Xuan twice in the morning, but his work was pulled down.
"Oh, Lu Jing, the Pennsylvania Municipal Government has officially sent you an invitation letter to visit Pennsylvania to inspect the investment environment." Ding Ling bit his lip and said in a soft voice.
"Ignore them. It's just a matter of routine. Lu Jing tapped on the keyboard of his laptop to reply to the email and said with a smile.
"Oh." Ding Ling said and continued to help Lu Jing filter the email.
At this time, Lu Jing's mobile phone in Ding Ling's place suddenly rang, and Cheng Jianfeng called and said: "Jing Shao, the internal news just came that the South Korean government will refuse to approve the acquisition of Hyundai Semiconductor and Jinghua." ”
"Ah..." Ding Ling snorted, his expression froze, and he handed the phone to Lu Jing a little anxiously. Obviously, the acquisition has been successful, how can there be such a change? Could it be that Samsung realized that Lu Jing was the driving force behind this storm against Samsung, so it used its influence to stop the deal?
Cheng Jianfeng only realized at this time that it was Ding Ling who answered the phone.
Lu Jing took the mobile phone in Ding Ling's hand, patted her shoulder gently, hugged her in his arms, and said in a deep voice: "Is there any other information?" Will the officials in charge of approving the deal have access? He heard Cheng Jianfeng's words very clearly just now.
Cheng Jianfeng explained to Lu Jing what he had learned. The deal between Jinghua and Hyundai Semiconductor was submitted to the South Korean government by Hyundai Semiconductor, and it can be judged that it was not affected by the Samsung scandal.
The approval was made by Kim Il-won, deputy director of the Trade Negotiation Headquarters under the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade of the South Korean government. The information hinting that the deal would not be approved was notified by Hwang Hyun-bin, chairman of Hyundai Semiconductor, and then passed through the Korean branch of Gyeonghwa.
Lu Jing thought for a while, and said slowly: "You and Zheng Meng will contact each other first, and take a look at the details of this Minister Jin." For other things, don't move for now. ”
He'll have to wait and see what the hell is going on. (To be continued......)
