Chapter 868: I Drank It
On the eve of the opening of the Korea-Japan World Cup, Hyundai Motor Group was also involved in the scandal of Samsung Group.
South Korean media swore that South Korean prosecutors had solid evidence: Hyundai Group Chairman Chung Mong-gu privately set up and embezzled more than 100 billion won in secret funds, bringing losses of more than 400 billion won to Hyundai Motor Group and its subsidiaries, and violating South Korea's Special Economic Crime Law.
As for what the secret funds are used for, everyone knows what they are used for.
At the beginning of June, the temperature in Seoul gradually rises. Lu Jing pushed open the glass revolving door of the Renaissance Hotel, and the summer breeze swept in a light rain. Lu Jing sat in the car and said with a smile: "This rain is really timely. ”
Ding Ling, who was wearing a white pure embroidered A-line skirt, laughed, and said in a warm voice: "Kang Zhengxiu, vice president of Hana Bank, called and asked to meet you, do you want to meet him?" ”
"What are you doing with him?" Lu Jing smiled and waved his hand, patted the car seat in front of him, and motioned for Zhao Zi to drive. In the past few days, the investigation of Hyundai Group by South Korean prosecutors has been progressing smoothly. It is said that Jung Mong-gyu's son, Jung Il-hyun, a director of Hyundai Motor Group, was also involved. Jiang Zhengxiu's purpose to see himself can be imagined. Probably, they didn't expect their counterattack to be so violent! It's not a "one-size-fits-all" at all.
In front of the state apparatus, he thought he was calculating or not, coupled with some vague impressions in his previous life, it would be strange if Zheng Mengjiu could resist his own counterattack.
Ding Ling tilted his head and said with a lovely smile: "Well, I don't think I need to see him." ”
Lu Jing smiled slightly and touched Ding Ling's sweet and white face. The car started slowly. Go to JW Dongdaemun Plaza Marriott Hotel Seoul.
At noon today, Chung Meng-gyu hosted a banquet at the Marriott Hotel for him and Song Tae-min, chairman of SK Telecom, the largest telecommunications operator in South Korea.
The Mercedes-Benz sedan converged in front of the Jinghua Seoul Building and the long-waiting convoy of Zheng Zhongjie, general manager of Jinghua's overseas operation department, and Yu Haoning, general manager of Jinghua Korea Branch, and drove towards the Marriott Hotel.
Cheng Jianfeng, director of Jinghua's operations department, has left South Korea. He went to Europe to discuss with Dongjia's AER Group to develop the European mobile phone market. Jinghua's acquisition of Hyundai Semiconductor's TFT LCD business was presided over by Lu Jing in Seoul.
The deal was halted by the South Korean government on May 27. Now, with the Hyundai Motor Group's involvement in the case of a secret fund, it has been approved by the International Trade Negotiations Headquarters. The approval process will be officially completed tomorrow Monday, and the final contract between Jinghua and Hyundai Semiconductor will be signed at the signing ceremony.
In the luxurious and stylish restaurant box of the Marriott Hotel, Zheng Mengxian greeted Lu Jing in an elegant manner. This action somewhat revealed his excitement during this time.
After a few pleasantries, Jung Mong-first introduced Song Tae-min, chairman of SK Telecom, to Lu Jing and his entourage. Song Taimin, a burly, ordinary-looking old man, shook hands with Lu Jing with a smile. He brought a total of three assistants, two men and one woman.
After a few polite words to each other, the group skillfully laughed and talked according to the guidelines of business communication. Everyone knows it. Specific matters will be discussed in informal meetings after the dinner. Eating now is just a process of meeting and getting acquainted with each other.
The main mobile operators in South Korea are SK Telecom, KTF, and LGT. In order to prevent monopoly, the Korean telecommunications authority stipulates that the user share ratio of the three telecom operators must be maintained at a fixed ratio of 5:3:2. Therefore, under the premise that the scale of users is basically determined, it is inevitable to strive to improve the ARPU value of users.
Against this backdrop, SK Telecom launched its third-generation multimedia mobile CDMA2000-1x-EV-DO in January.
"The cooperation between Jinghua and SK Telecom is not limited to the mobile phone customization business, we have a mobile phone ringtone and CRBT download website, and we can try to cooperate with SK Telecom in the CRBT business." Meal. In the executive corridor on the top floor of the hotel, Lu Jing held a cup of tea and said leisurely.
Song Taemin was taken aback, as mobile value-added services have always been the focus of SK Telecom's pursuit. The CRBT business is officially one of the ideas they are brewing. I didn't expect that in China, there is already such a music website.
"Mr. Lu, I wonder if you can give us a detailed introduction to the Times Music website you said?" Song Taimin said curiously. Naturally, he couldn't promise anything now. Business negotiations have always been about taking their time. There has not been much substantive progress from the first contact.
"Assistant Ding, let's introduce me!" Lu Jing said to Ding Ling seriously.
Ding Ling felt funny in his heart. Still as he instructed, he opened the file in front of him and began to introduce it.
The first contact with SK Telecom went well. The next negotiations will naturally be followed up by Zheng Zhongjie and Yu Haoning. CRBT cooperation business. Someone from Flying6music will be sent to talk to you in detail.
After the business talks, Zheng Mengxian took his assistant Park Hongji to send Lu Jing and Song Taemin and his party. His matchmaking mission was a success.
The group came out of the VIP elevator and turned to the door on the first floor of the hotel. At this time, five or six people came to the golden hall, and the leader was an old man with gray hair.
Zheng Mengxian's face suddenly became very unnatural. Park Hongji's eyes narrowed slightly, but he lowered his head, ready to act as if he didn't see the old man and his party.
Song Taimin and the others were stunned for a moment, and then listened, with a warm smile on their faces. Song Taimin walked half a step forward and said, "President Zheng, I didn't expect to meet you here, I'm glad to meet you." ”
Chairman Zheng in Song Taimin's mouth shook hands with Song Taimin with a blank face, his eyes swept around Lu Jing and Zheng Mengxian, and said slowly: "President Song, are you talking about cooperation?" ”
"Yes. Talk about cooperation with Jinghua mobile phone. Song Taimin was very clear about the grievances of the Zheng brothers, he didn't have the idea of getting involved, and he made it very clear.
Chairman Zheng nodded, his gaze slid over Zheng Mengxian's elegant face, with a slight bow of disdain, it was regarded as a greeting, and then looked at Lu Jing with a calm face.
A middle-aged man with two mustaches on his lips beside Chairman Zheng politely said, "Hello, Mr. Lu." This is Chairman Jung Mong-gyu of Hyundai Motor Group. ”
Lu Jing naturally knew that the old man in front of him, who looked quite majestic, was Zheng Mengjiu. Listening to the words of the people around Zheng Mengjiu, Lu Jing did not make any response. Instead, he looked at Zheng Mengjiu lightly for a while.
Zheng Mengjiu's hair was gray, and his eyes were indifferent. His face was quite vicissitudes, and the crow's feet at the corners of his mouth made him look a little ruthless.
Although the Chinese cultural classics are a bit ethereal, they are also quite mysterious. Zheng Mengjiu's face was very consistent with what he had done.
The former chairman of Hyundai Motor was his uncle Jung Se-yong. When Zheng Mengjiu entered Hyundai Motor, he received strong support from Zheng Shiyong. In 1999, the powerful Jung Mong-gyu expelled Jung Se-yong and his son Jung Mong-kyu from Hyundai Motor and completely took over the Hyundai Motor Group.
Because of the relationship between the eldest heir, many people began to call Zheng Mengjiu the chairman of the small modern group. As a result, he began to plot for the position of chairman of Hyundai Group. Taking advantage of Zheng Mengxian's business trip to China and Japan, he dismissed Zheng Mengxian as a close confidant. Provoking the "princely civil strife" of the Hyundai bloc.
To such a person. Lu Jing is very lacking in favor. In addition to the pursuit of power and money, there are some other things that cannot be missed, such as: family affection.
Lu Jing didn't respond, and the atmosphere was a little cold. The assistants were making eye contact.
At this time, Zheng Mengjiu suddenly said, "Mr. Lu, hello! The coffee at the Marriott Hotel is very good, have you ever drunk it? ”
Lu Jing said indifferently: "I've drunk it." "With the victory in his hands, he has no intention of reconciling with Zheng Mengjiu at all.
Zheng Mengjiu seemed to understand something. Nodding, he staggered past with his assistant.
When the group walked into the VIP elevator, a beautiful young woman whispered: "It's so arrogant that you actually refused the invitation of the president." She knows. The meeting just now was actually something that Chairman Zheng could arrange.
"Assistant Li..."Someone stopped the young woman's complaints. They, the core staff members around Chairman Zheng, naturally understood that the current predicament of Hyundai Motor Group was absolutely inseparable from the young man just now. But there are some things that are said to make the president unhappy.
Sure enough, Zheng Mengjiu frowned slightly. He glanced at the beautiful young woman unhappily.
The young woman was immediately frightened and silent.
In the lobby on the first floor of the hotel, Song Taimin and his entourage didn't know why Lu Dao Lu Jingwei refused Zheng Mengjiu's invitation. If you want to invest in Korea, you should know that you want to invest in Korea. If there is the help of South Korea's second chaebol, many things can be done with half the effort. However, thinking about it, the relationship between Lu Jing and Zheng Mengxian is relieved.
After Song Taimin and his entourage left first, Zheng Mengxian smiled and suggested: "Mr. Lu, the final acquisition agreement between Jinghua and Hyundai Semiconductor can be signed tomorrow." Would you like to have a celebratory reception? I have a nice villa in Gangnam-gu, Seoul, which can be used for cocktail parties. ”
Lu Jing glanced at the light rain in the air, and said with a meaningful smile: "President Zheng thinks it is necessary?" ”
Zheng Mengxian smiled calmly: "Well, I want to introduce a friend to you." ”
Lu Jing groaned slightly and said, "Okay, it's set for Thursday." Trouble President Zheng. I was ready to leave Seoul on Friday. ”
Zheng Mengxian was overjoyed, but he smiled slightly on his face, and said modestly: "Mr. Lu is too polite. It won't be a hassle. I went back and asked Hongji to contact Miss Ding. ”
…
…
On the way back to the hotel, Ding Ling asked strangely, "Lu Jing, why does Chairman Zheng want to help us hold a cocktail party?" ”
Lu Jing had some understanding of Zheng Mengxian's thoughts, and speculated: "He should be trying to pull me to deal with Zheng Mengjiu." ”
"Ahh ”
Lu Jing looked at Ding Ling's warm eyes and said with a smile: "Didn't you notice that with Zheng Mengxian's help, we did things smoothly in South Korea?" Of course, I can't get involved in their infighting, and at most provide some financial help. ”
When he promised Zheng Meng to hold a drinking party first, he thought about how to deal with the matter.
"Oh, that's good. South Korea's market is so small, and there are only a limited number of companies that can accommodate their own country, and there is still our share there. I'm still worried..."Ding Ling patted his chest and said with a smile.
"What else are you worried about? How dare I think of me as mentally retarded, I'm going to punish you later. Lu Jing smiled and touched Ding Ling's round legs under her A-line skirt.
Ding Lingqiao's face flushed, first looked at Zhao Zi, who was concentrating on driving, and then glared at Lu Jing coquettishly. (To be continued......)
