Jinghua Korea suddenly held a press conference to announce the cessation of the acquisition of Hyundai Semiconductor's TFT LCD business. This caused an uproar in the domestic media, which is considered a typical case of failed overseas acquisitions by domestic enterprises.

"For a number of reasons, we have decided to discontinue the acquisition of Hyundai Semiconductor's TFT LCD business. The company will seek technical licensing from other manufacturers with TFT liquid crystal technology, or purchase related patents. ”

Jinghua's brief statement did not salvage the media's negative voice against Jinghua.

The South Korean media applauded. It is believed that the excellent enterprises of the Korean nation have resisted the "invasion" of Chinese enterprises.

Samsung's bribery-election case has been suspended due to insufficient evidence. The South Korean media has found a new economic topic, and newspapers in Seoul are full of comments about the failed Gyeonghwa takeover. Occasionally, the voice of reason is also drowned in all kinds of saliva and waves.

"For a country where even acupuncture is considered an invention of their country, there is nothing strange about such news." This is what Lu Jing said to Chen Xiao, who was indignant when he called at the Shilla Hotel in Seoul.

In the morning, in the lounge of Seungjiwon in Hannam-dong, an elderly man is slowly drinking coffee, and every morning, he has a five-minute break to enjoy a cup of coffee.

The old man's main assistant, Jin Yourong, came in with a stack of materials, "President, the matter you asked me to investigate has already been decided, and it can be determined that it was Zheng Mengxian of the Hyundai Group who instructed him to provoke this turmoil against the Samsung Group." Do you want to..."

The old man thought for a while, waved his hand, and said, "Don't worry about him." ”

Kim Yourong nodded lightly. Don't worry about Zheng Mengxian. Is it because the president is condescending, does the elephant care that an ant once stretched out its legs to trip over it?

"How's our acquisition of Hyundai Semiconductor going?" The old man asked lightly.

"We are already in contact with various shareholders of Hyundai Semiconductor. It seems like. Sony also has the intention of acquiring it. They are also in contact with the bank's shareholders. Jin Yourong said respectfully.

The old man raised his eyebrows, and then said indifferently: "Samsung's brand will surpass Sony." ”

He said it lightly. The voice is soft.

But Kim Yourong listened with enthusiasm. Of course, Samsung Electronics will surpass Sony on a global scale to become the world's No. 1 electronics brand. This is the goal of all Samsung people. And this goal will definitely be achieved under the leadership of Chairman Lee.

…

…

In a luxury villa in Gangnam District, Seoul, a dignified old man with gray hair flips through the newspaper in his hand in his villa office. The headline in the newspaper was that Jinghua Company abandoned the acquisition of Hyundai Semiconductor's TFT LCD business.

"Hmph, how ignorant the world is, how much do you know the truth!" The majestic old man sneered. According to the information he received, Sony and Samsung are acquiring Hyundai Semiconductor at the same time. The relationship between Jinghua and Mitsui behind Samsung and Sony is not good, and it is an inevitable choice to give up the acquisition.

The trouble, however, was that Jinghua actually supported him to return to modern merchant ships. This gave him another breather. Lingering. The majestic old man commented triumphantly.

…

…

Melodious soft music wafts through the glittering restaurants of the Philadelphia Club on the outskirts of Seoul. Lu Jing, Ding Ling, and Cheng Jianfeng hosted a banquet for Park Yongsheng, director of Hyundai Semiconductor.

Park Yongsheng has not been in such a good mood recently, and he is absent-mindedly coping with Lu Jing and others. Hyundai Semiconductor is undergoing upheaval, and he wonders if he will be able to keep his seat on the board. Jinghua has given up on acquiring Hyundai Semiconductor's TFT LCD business. It was of no use to him.

Looking at the perfunctory Park Yongsheng, Ding Ling was very displeased. knew that Park Yongsheng had left a hand in the negotiations, and her impression of Park Yongsheng was very bad.

Xiao Nizi has always had a clear love and hate.

"Mr. Park, let's have a drink. Thank you for your support to Jinghua. Cheng Jianfeng endured the tiredness in his heart and raised his glass and said.

Park Yongsheng smiled and said, "You're polite, you're polite." ”

Lu Jing smiled slightly, and interjected coldly: "Mr. Park, I heard that Samsung Group is acquiring Hyundai Semiconductor, I wonder if there is such a thing in Lu Dao?" ”

Park Yongsheng was stunned. Seeing Lu Jing's eyes blazing, he said unnaturally: "Well, there is such a thing." They are in contact with the bank's shareholders and are expected to have acquired a 15 percent stake. ”

"So what do you think. Is it the probability of a successful acquisition by Sony, or the probability of a successful acquisition by Samsung? ”

"This—" Park Yongsheng laughed. At this time, he realized that his little Jiujiu was actually known by Jinghua's people.

Cheng Jianfeng said "mending": "Hasn't Park Yongsheng always understood the situation of modern semiconductors? ”

Park Yongsheng laughed dryly. Dryly: "I think Samsung Electronics has a higher probability of a successful acquisition." ”

Park Yongsheng fidgeted and ate two bites of food and made an excuse. Leave in a hurry.

Lu Jing and Cheng Jianfeng both laughed.

"I always want him to learn to be good!" Cheng Jianfeng said in a comfortable mood. This meal is certainly a thanksgiving meal, but at the same time, the things that should be ordered must also be ordered. Otherwise. Others will think that Jinghua is a fool.

At the beginning, it was not wrong for Park Yongsheng to have reservations when negotiating with Jinghua as the chairman of Hyundai Semiconductor, but then both sides were grasshoppers on a rope, and it would be unkind for him to have reservations.

Lu Jing threw a cigarette to Cheng Jianfeng, "Do you think his judgment is reliable?" "The news of Samsung and Sony's secret acquisition, they have learned from Zheng Mengxian.

"Samsung! After all, it's a home game. Cheng Jianfeng pondered for a while and said.

"Yes. However, after the financial crisis of '97, all of South Korea's commercial banks were controlled by foreign capital. Mitsui is not without opportunities. I decided to get in touch with the people at Samsung. Lu Jing said in a deep voice.

Ding Ling said in surprise: "Lu Jing, do you still have to do the best effort?" ”

Lu Jing nodded, "Yes." I still have one card in my hand that hasn't been played. You have to try. ”

…

…

Lu Jing contacted Samsung Group through Counselor Che at the embassy. He originally wanted to make an appointment to meet Lee Kun-hee, chairman of the Samsung Group, but on the afternoon of May 11, he met with him in the meeting room of the Samsung Plaza Building, No. 263, Bundang-dong, Seongnam-si, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea, at the headquarters of the Samsung Group, Kim Woo-young, Lee Kun-hee's main assistant.

Kim Woo-young is a sword-eyed. A slender middle-aged man with a slight eastern Korean accent. Warmly rather than reservedly, he shook hands with Lu Jing, "Mr. Lu." Hello! I'm Kim Woo-young, the head of Samsung's strategic planning department. Chairman Lee assigned me to listen to Mr. Luk's opinion. ”

At their level, they can see when they see it, and if they don't see it, they don't see it, and they don't need to lie and be polite at all. In fact, if it weren't for Samsung's increasing investment in China, the request for a meeting conveyed by Counselor Cha would not have reached Chairman Lee's hands at all, and would have been filtered out of his place.

Lu Jing nodded slightly, and said decently: "Hello, Director Jin." His face was calm. I don't see the slightest dissatisfaction.

Ding Ling, who followed Lu Jing to see Li Jianxi, was quite dissatisfied, no matter how simple she was, she knew that Lu Jing was not very well treated by Samsung.

Lu Jing sat on the sofa, paused for a moment, and said: "I heard that Samsung Group is acquiring Hyundai Semiconductor, and Sony is also acquiring Hyundai Semiconductor, I hope Samsung can transfer the TFT LCD business of Hyundai Semiconductor to me for $250 million." ”

Absurd! This was Jin Yourong's first reaction when he heard Lu Jing's words. He glanced at Lu Jing lightly, like looking at an idiot, and said with a smile: "Mr. Lu, I will convey your request to President Li." ”

Jin Yourong gave Lu Jing a soft nail.

Lu Jing smiled disappreciatively. Said casually: "I hope Assistant Jin will seriously consider my suggestion." I know that Samsung Properties has the habit of collecting and storing rare earths in our country. I just have a little bit of influence in the rare earth industry. I heard that recently our country is preparing to reduce the quota for rare earth exports. ”

Jin Yourong was surprised, glanced at Lu Jing deeply, thought for a while, and said seriously: "Mr. Lu." I will convey your comments to President Lee. ”

The same sentence, said in different tones, has a completely different meaning.

Lu Jing smiled and nodded. Stood up and shook hands with Kim Woo-young, "That's it for today." I'm waiting for news from Assistant Kim. ”

Looking at Lu Jingyuan's back, Jin Yourong suddenly realized it at this time. In just a few words, the rhythm of the conversation was actually mastered by him. Moreover, a sentence of "assistant gold" actually reveals a lot of information.

Kim Woo-young's face changed, and he drove to Seungjiwon in Hannam-dong to meet Chairman Lee.

In the bright and simple office, Lee Kun-hee listened to Kim Yourong's description and said lightly: "What do you think?" ”

"President, he's threatening us. I think that Sony can buy this part of Hyundai Semiconductor's business, and let him threaten Mitsuiji. Hmph, when the time comes, Japan will definitely blow up the nest, and the United States and Japan will definitely not allow China to reduce its rare earth quota. Jin Yourong's eyes flashed, and he said such a "disaster moves eastward".

"In that case, Samsung may still not be able to get rare earth ores, and the raw materials of TFT liquid crystal need to use a large number of rare earth ores, right?" Lee Kun-hee said softly, and then issued an order, "You investigate whether his words are true or false." If it is true, he can agree to his terms, but the price must be $350 million. ”

"Good one, President." Jin Yourong said respectfully.

…

…

After Yan Shining's mission was completed, he returned to the capital from Seoul. On Sunday morning, she drove to the office early in the morning to report to her immediate boss, Jiao Xingxiu.

Jiao Xingxiu's office is very simple. Cherry red solid wood desk and chair near the bay window, and a set of sofas and rough glass tables are placed under the glass curtain wall on the west side.

On the sofa next to the glass table, Jiao Xingxiu was not very satisfied with Yan Shining's rejection of Lu Jing's proposal, so he pondered his language and said, "Shining, do you know the way?" There is a shortage of funds. Besides, we're just helping out, and I'll take responsibility for this. Do you want to go to Seoul again? ”

"Ahh It's just that Brother Jiao has talked about this, can she still insist on her opinion?

"Brother Jiao, I..." Yan Shi Ning was halfway through her words, and when she saw Jiao Xingxiu looking over, she reluctantly changed her words: "Okay, Brother Jiao, I'll go to Seoul again." (To be continued......)
