Chapter 876: Great Power Strategy
Che Gaohan was about forty years old, wearing glasses, but the words he said in the elegant and quiet Western restaurant at this time made Lu Jing's heart skip a beat.
"How do you say that?" Lu Jing asked softly as he cut a steak on his plate.
Che Gaohan smiled: "Our country's automobile industry has been stagnant. I know that Lu Shao has a wholly-owned domestic automobile company. If Lu Shao is interested in acquiring Hyundai, the China Development Bank can provide you with $2 billion to $3 billion. ”
"Ahem-cough-" Ding Ling, who was drinking soup, choked suddenly. The news is shocking.
Lu Jing hurriedly took a tissue to Ding Ling and patted her lightly on the back.
"Is there anything I can help you, sir?" A beautiful waitress in the restaurant walked over and asked gracefully.
Ding Ling coughed a few times and then came to his senses.
"Thank you, no need." Lu Jing waved his hand and sent the waiter away.
After Ding Ling's face calmed down, Lu Jing said in a deep voice: "Great power strategy? ”
Che Gaohan nodded. A child of a family like Lu Jing must be very well-informed, and it is normal for Zhilu Dao to have such a strategic existence.
"Let's eat first, and we'll talk in another place later." Lu Jing has not forgotten that Matsusaka Shifu was recorded by Yan Shining from the five places of national security. Although the things he and Che Gaohan want to talk about are not top secret, they are definitely worth eavesdropping.
"No problem." Che Gaohan smiled and agreed. Although he had dinner, he still went to the dining table of the western restaurant to get a little buffet and accompanied Lu Jing to eat.
After eating, Lu Jing and Che Gaohan left in the car. Ding Ling went back to the presidential suite on the top floor of the hotel alone.
It's past ten o'clock in the evening. Lu Jingcai came back with a hesitant look. Li Muqing was wearing a light blue nightdress in front of the floor-to-ceiling mirror in the living room, wiping his hair with a towel, and asked with a smile, "Why did you come back so late?" ”
"I went to talk to Counselor Che about things. He wanted me to buy Hyundai. I'm hesitating. Lu Jing didn't hide it from Li Muqing. Walk up to her and caress her curled hips. smiled and said, "Oh, what about Xiao Ling and Wu Xuan? ”
"The two of them were showering in the bathroom." Li Muqing glanced at Lu Jing with "bad intentions" and said.
Lu Jinglao's face flushed, and he hurriedly changed the topic, "Did you sign a contract with a friend of Lee Hye Kyo some time ago?" ”
"yes. Lee Hye Kyo is now a popular singer in the company, and I have to take care of her request. Li Muqing knocked Lu Jing's hand away in disgust, and asked curiously, "What's wrong?" ”
Lu Jing explained: "That's right, Zheng Mengri of the Zheng family invited me to participate in the coming-of-age ceremony of a girl from the Zheng family. I listened to Xiao Ling. It seems to be your newly signed Zheng Zhihe. If I want to buy Hyundai Motor, I will definitely use the power of Zheng Mengxian. ”
Li Muqing's eyes flowed, and a pair of charming electric eyes "electric" Lu Jing glanced at him, and said with a smile: "Oh, someone is going to give you a girl..., have you given a gift?" Look at what you're looking for. ”
Lu Jing smiled and touched her delicate and bright face, "I didn't plan to go." Teasing me isn't? You know, I won't take it. ”
Li Muqing chuckled and said. "It's up to you whether you take it or not? The Zheng family will definitely be forced to your side when the time comes. If you don't take them, you won't feel at ease! ”
Lu Jing shook his head with a smile, "Shoehorn it into me, and I'll let her work with you." You signed her anyway. ”
Li Muqing giggled.

…
At noon the next day, Lu Jing, Mo Xinlan, Wu Xuan, Ding Ling, Zheng Zhongjie, and Yu Haoning hosted a banquet for Du Weicheng and Tang Yue, who flew from the capital to Seoul.
After the meal, everyone gathered in Lu Jing's room to chat. Du Weicheng came to Seoul again to discuss with Hyundai Merchant Marine to buy its core assets. Modern merchant ships have several loans that need to be repaid due to them. This totals about $300 million. Modern merchant ships had to sell core assets to pay for bank loans.
Tang Yue, on the other hand, went to Seoul to build Jinghua's business intelligence agency.
"There are no problems with the construction of intelligence agencies. As long as the funds are in place. Tang Yue and Lu Jing stood at the window and smoked, and took a sip.
Lu Jing smiled and took a puff of cigarette and said, "There will be no problem with funds." Accounts from Ruifeng Company. $20 million should be easily squeezed out. Oh yes. In the evening, accompany me to meet Lee Jae-beom, a member of the South Korean National Assembly. His information, I'll go back and let Xiaoling give it to you. ”
Tang Yue's slightly pale face appeared with a strange smile. He whispered, "Hey, you don't want to go at night to attend that coming-of-age ceremony held by Jung Ji-ha in the banquet hall of the Shilla Hotel in Seoul." ”
Lu Jing smiled: "Then forget it, I don't appreciate this kind of drinking party." It's important to get down to business, I'm going to Perth on Monday. ”
Tang Yue smiled and patted Lu Jing's shoulder.
Several people chatting in the room looked at it curiously. Lu Jing extinguished the cigarette, walked to the coffee table and sat next to Ding Ling, and asked, "How are you talking?" ”
Hehua Company is the parent company of Hehua United Transport. Mo Xinlan and Wu Xuan are members of the Hehua Council, and Du Weicheng is reporting to the two of them about Hehua Lianyun. Zheng Zhongjie and Yu Haoning talked to Ding Ling about the cooperation between Jinghua Mobile and South Korea's SK Telecom.
"It's all going well." Mo Xinlan smiled and said: "I am dealing with PLU Telecom and SK Telecom to discuss cooperation in the construction of TD's domestic standard 3G network. The initial contact is not bad, and it should not be possible to talk about it in a short time. ”
Lu Jing smiled and nodded, "Then I can rest assured that I can go to Perth with confidence." ”
After chatting for a while, Zheng Zhongjie and Yu Haoning said goodbye and left. Lu Jing smiled and asked the opinions of the remaining people, "Assuming that we can get $2 billion to $3 billion now, do you think I should take action now to fight for control of Hyundai Motor?" ”
Du Weicheng and Tang Yue were at a loss. They don't know the ins and outs of the story. Ding Ling whispered again, and the two of them suddenly realized.
Mo Xinlan said strangely: "How can you have such an idea?" Didn't you set the strategy of investing in Zheng Mengxian at most? ”
Lu Jingdao: "I was thinking about investing $100 million. But later, after meeting with Zheng Shiyong and his son, they asked me to support them with $2 billion. I denied their request. To be honest, I am not optimistic that Zheng Shiyong and his son can snatch Zheng Mengjiu. If you can't grab it. Investing a huge amount of money is just in vain, at most getting some dividends every year. ”
Wu Xuan said puzzledly: "Since there are so many drawbacks. Are you still thinking of investing in Hyundai? ”
Lu Jing sighed and said, "This involves a very complicated issue. Have you ever heard of the great power strategy? These people in the room were all people Lu Jing trusted, so he said it directly.
Tang Yue smiled: "I know a little bit. What, they found you? ”
Lu nodded, "Well, the embassy's counselor Che turned to the CDB's opinion that they are willing to provide $2 billion to $3 billion." ”
Mo Xinlan, Wu Xuan, Ding Ling, and Du Weicheng are still confused.
Lu Jing explained: "The level of our country in the field of high and new technology is basically a big step behind that of foreign countries. Some technical blockades are not so easy to break, and sometimes our state-owned enterprises need to get out of the blockade. But often a lot of effort is put in, and the result is that it is pitted by the West. It is also said that Westerners are good at taking advantage of the rules of the game. The interpretation of the rules of the game is in their hands, and they are certainly good at taking advantage of it. Thus. The China Development Bank will choose to support a subset of private companies to acquire some key technologies. As far as automotive technology is concerned, in the core part of the engine, we can't get the core technology at all. All the joint venture work will be very strict with the other party. This is a place where breakthroughs continue to be made. Jinghua has Kuncheng Automobile under his name. Suppose we can win the management rights of Hyundai Motor, and then let Hyundai Motor and Kuncheng Automobile build a joint venture factory in China, hey, when the time comes, the technology can be digested by us. In principle, I support this plan, but I have a lot of concerns about the specific operation. I'd like to hear your opinions. ”
Mo Xinlan and the others suddenly realized at this time. Du Weicheng smiled bitterly: "I just heard about it. I won't express my opinion. Tang Yue echoed: "I'm pretty much the same." I don't know much about that. ”
Wu Xuan thought about it for a while, and said with a straight expression: "Lu Jing, I don't think the gains outweigh the losses. Even if you can raise a large sum of money on top of $2 billion, let's say $1 billion. However, Hyundai Motor Group has total assets of more than $30 billion. Although, Zheng Mengjiu's series shows that the shareholding ratio of Hyundai Motor Group is not high. However, it is clear that South Korea's chaebols have adopted the method of cross-holding of companies to control the company. Take Samsung, for example. The Lee family owns only 2 percent of Samsung's shares, but holds 46 percent of the voting rights. So. Even if you invest $3 billion in Hyundai Motor Group and get a 10% stake. It's also hard to get the upper hand. ”
Ding Ling bit his lip and said, "Sister Xuan is right, Lu Jing..."
Lu Jing looked at Mo Xinlan, "Xinlan, what do you think?" ”
Mo Xinlan elegantly pulled the hair in front of her forehead, her eyes like a lake and morning mist fell on Lu Jing's face, and said, "I think you will startle the snake, and the gains outweigh the losses." Our top priority should be to support Zheng Mengxian, with the grievances between the Zheng brothers, when Zheng Mengxian takes a breath, he will definitely do something to Hyundai Motor. When the time comes, it will be good for us to support Zheng Mengxian secretly. ”
Lu Jing shook his head, "After Zheng Mengxian finished integrating the Hyundai Group, his first interest was definitely not to trouble Zheng Mengjiu. His first interest is definitely to revive the Hyundai Asan Group's Mt. Kumgang tourism business. This time, it was because he saw an opportunity. The ones who are really willing to trouble Zheng Mengjiu are Zheng Shiyong and his son, who were squeezed out of Hyundai Motor Group by him. However, Zheng Shiyong is old, and I am afraid that he will not last a few years. His son Zheng Mengkui..."
Lu Jing didn't continue. is obviously not very optimistic about Zheng Mengkui.
"Of course, what Xinlan and Wu Xuan said makes sense, so that's exactly what I hesitate about." Lu Jing said with a hesitant expression.
Mo Xinlan smiled: "I see you, you were tempted by 2 billion US dollars." We still need to be steady. Aren't we also creating opportunities now? After Zheng Meng grows up first, create another opportunity to make him feel that he can make a move on Zheng Mengjiu. This time, I suggest that you don't startle the snake, and first see how Zheng Mengjiu responds to the attack of Zheng Shiyong's father and son. ”
Lu Jing pondered for a while, and also felt that it was better to be stable, and said, "Okay." The general principle of supporting Zheng Mengxian remains unchanged. As he spoke, he smiled at Tang Yue and said, "Then the two of us must talk to Li Jaefan tonight about a good result." ”
Tang Yue laughed, "Bombarding with dollars, how many parliamentarians can withstand it?" (To be continued......)
