Who would still be a social slave when they are so rich?

Chapter 353 Where did you get the courage?
The familiar figure was none other than Li Mingrui.

What’s interesting is that Li Mingrui was not the leader. Instead, he followed behind a young man in his thirties. He looked at Su Chen with a gloomy face, and there was no trace of hidden hatred in his eyes.

If Su Chen had not appeared in the Guangming Club, he would not have been humiliated because of Doris's incident, and the group's efforts to expand into the European market would not have been frustrated.

Thinking of the call he received from his father before, Li Mingrui's face became even gloomier.

Li Mingrui blamed all of this on Su Chen.

"Things are becoming more and more interesting." Looking at the people walking towards this side, Su Chen smiled faintly.

Judging from the situation, it seems that there was a slight deviation in his previous guess, but the change in Ackerman's expression was so real, enough to prove that the new backer he found was from the Li Group.

The only answer is that the young man in the lead should have an unusual relationship with Li Mingrui, or even be a member of the Li Group.

Otherwise, Ackerman’s previous change in expression wouldn’t make sense.

Sure enough, when Li Mingrui and his group approached, Ackerman enthusiastically greeted the young man in the lead.

"I guess you are Mr. Li Mingze. It's better to meet in person than to hear about him. I felt that Mr. Li was mature and experienced when we talked on the phone before, but I didn't expect that Mr. Li would be so young!"

Ackerman's old face was smiling like a flower, and there was no trace of the arrogance and contempt he had when facing Su Chen before.

This sudden change really made Su Chen and Sheikh disgusted, especially Su Chen, who had silently drawn a big cross on the Habsburg family in his heart.

It's no use for anyone to plead for mercy.

It was useless even if Doris wore all kinds of fancy clothes and posed in all kinds of weird postures.

From the moment Ackerman told the story of a hundred years ago, this matter was destined to happen.

The leader Li Ming smiled and shook hands with Ackerman, then turned his gaze to Su Chen and Sheikh who was sitting not far behind him.

Li Ming just glanced at Xie He and then looked away. After all, the two of them had no connection at all. From his current standpoint, if he went forward to say hello, it would be like pushing his face into a cold butt.

"Let me introduce myself. I'm Li Mingze, the heir of the Li Group." As he spoke, Li Mingze sat directly opposite Su Chen, crossing his legs. The bodyguard behind him immediately lit a cigarette for him.

That arrogant look made Xie He, Fade Chen and others frown, but Su Chen looked indifferent.

Su Chen looked at Li Mingze indifferently, with a faint smile still on the corner of his mouth, and his eyes were as calm as water. In his eyes, Li Mingze's arrogant attitude and provocative behavior just now were nothing more than a clown's performance.

"The heir of the Li Group?" Su Chen repeated softly, with a hint of amusement in his tone, "No wonder he is so confident, much stronger than that Li Mingrui."

After saying this, Su Chen did not forget to glance at Li Mingrui, his eyes full of sarcasm.

Seeing Su Chen's provocative eyes, Li Mingrui, who already had resentment towards Su Chen, slammed his hands heavily on the table and shouted at Su Chen: "Su, what the hell do you mean by that!"

A smile flashed across Su Chen's face. He didn't care about Li Mingrui's outburst. He just looked at Li Mingze who was sitting opposite him with a teasing look on his face.

The next second, Li Mingze's cold eyes fell on Li Mingrui. Looking at this younger brother who was more likely to cause trouble than to accomplish anything, he did not have any good feelings towards him at all.

"Get out of here, you disgraceful thing!"

Hearing this, Li Mingrui was completely dumbfounded. Why didn't he think of his elder brother? Not only did he not speak up for him, but he also scolded him like this. How could Li Mingrui accept it for a moment.

He stood there in a daze, not coming to his senses for a long time.

Seeing that Li Mingrui didn't move, Li Ming looked at his bodyguard and said, "Take him out and calm him down!"

Two bodyguards came out immediately and carried Li Mingrui outside.

Li Mingrui came to his senses and was about to ask the bodyguard to let him go, but he met his eldest brother's cold eyes. He swallowed back the words that were about to come out of his mouth and let the bodyguard carry him out.

After Li Mingrui was carried out, the atmosphere at the scene did not ease, but became even more solemn.

Li Ming turned his gaze to Su Chen again, with a bit of scrutiny and coldness in his eyes.

"Su Chen, although my brother is useless, he is still a member of my Li Group!" Li Mingze said slowly, with a hint of warning in his tone, "You are so disrespectful to me. Don't you think highly of our Li Group?"

If it weren't for Su Chen's incident, the development of the European market would not have been hindered, and he would not have flown from South Korea to Manchester overnight to clean up the mess for his disappointing brother.

You know, the development of the European market is very important to the Li Group, and it even affects the development direction in the next few years.

Originally, the preliminary steps had been almost complete, and all that was left was to bring together the cooperating companies or families to discuss the distribution of profits.

But no one expected that such a simple thing would lead to mistakes.

When Li Mingrui confronted Su Chen at the Guangming Club and revealed that Su Chen was a shareholder of one of the world's three largest luxury goods giants, those European partners called the Li Group one after another and said that they wanted to discuss the cooperation matters later.

After all, the status of the world's three largest luxury goods groups in Europe is too terrifying. Ordinary companies or family businesses can't afford to offend them. Even the big families in Europe have to give them face more or less.

Who says they are a local European company? How can you, the Li Group, an outsider, have the courage to compete with them?
The European families have seen this clearly. Unless this matter can be resolved, they dare not cooperate with the Li Group and risk offending the three major luxury giants.

With such a serious business accident, if Li Mingrui was not a direct descendant of the Li family, or the youngest and most favored one, he would have been called back to South Korea to be held accountable.

Su Chen chuckled and shook his head, "Don't you think it would be funny to say that?"

"If I remember correctly, it was Li Mingrui who was targeting me from the beginning. Take the Guangming Club incident for example. Doris had the right to make whatever choice she wanted. Why did she blame me?"

"Don't you think so, Li Mingze, the young master Li!" Su Chen's mouth was full of sarcasm.

Li Mingze's face darkened slightly, but he soon regained his composure. He took a deep breath of cigarette, exhaled a circle of smoke, and smiled faintly: "Su Chen, I admit that as a shareholder of the three major luxury giants, you have great ability, but that doesn't mean you can belittle our Li Group at will!"

"Based on your wealth and connections, you are not even a little bit inferior to our Li Group. I came here today just to give you a chance!"

"Opportunity? What opportunity?" Su Chen raised his eyebrows and became a little curious. He wanted to see what Li Mingze was up to.

"Hand over Doris. You can no longer interfere in the affairs of the Habsburg family. Our Li Group will be responsible for it!" Li Ming looked directly into Su Chen's eyes, his tone full of unquestionable strength.

"As long as you agree, everything that happened before can be written off, and you can also wait for the friendship of our Li Group!"

"As far as I know, you are from China. We have many industries in China. At that time, we can carry out all-round cooperation and guarantee that you will make a fortune!" After hearing this, Su Chen could not help laughing. His laughter was very light, with an elusive meaning.

"Mr. Li's calculations are really good!"

Previously, the Li Group encountered obstacles in Europe because of Li Mingrui. Unexpectedly, they changed direction so quickly and focused their attention on the Habsburg family.

As for the current Habsburg family, it is already on the decline and has no ability to make a comeback. This makes it a perfect partner for the Lee Group.

The Habsburg family itself has a huge network of contacts in Europe. After all, it is not called a family of marriage for nothing. They are connected to most of the aristocratic families. It's just that because they are now in decline, not many people care about them.

Just like wealthy families all have their own poor relatives, how could these people be in their eyes?

But with the help of the Lee Group, the Habsburg family will be able to rejuvenate and regain their foothold in Europe, and those huge network of contacts will naturally return.

This is exactly what the Lee Group is concerned about, using the Habsburg family as a partner to achieve their desired goals.

As for the business cooperation mentioned by Li Mingze, it is even more ridiculous!

How could one own such a huge industry abroad without having a company in one’s own country?

Li Mingze saw this point and he guessed that Su Chen had enormous power in China, so he wanted to use Su Chen's channels to push their industry to a deeper level.

He really speaks in high-sounding words, but he is actually full of evil intentions in his heart.

"Mr. Li, the conditions you mentioned sound a little tempting." Su Chen said slowly, "However, I have a problem, that is, I can't tolerate any sand in my eyes. I remember clearly what Ackerman said before."

"What's more..." Su Chen glanced at Li Mingze with contempt, "How can you dare to talk to me like this? If your father came, maybe he would have the qualifications to make me look him in the face!"

"You?" Su Chen chuckled and shook his head gently, with the sarcasm in his words very obvious.

Li Mingze's face instantly turned cold, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he sneered, "My father is the only one who has this qualification. Do you think you, Su Chen, are the heir to a top chaebol group?"

"Su Chen, don't refuse my toast. I only give you one chance. If you miss it, there will be no regrets."

As soon as Li Mingze finished speaking, the atmosphere in the room instantly dropped to freezing point. Many people held their breath, fearing that their loud breathing would disturb the two people sitting on the sofa.

However, Su Chen still looked calm, as if Li Mingze's threat was just a child's play to him. He tapped the table lightly and asked with a hint of joking in his tone, "Young Master Li, does your father know that you are so brave?"

Regardless of how ugly Li Mingze's expression was, Su Chen continued, "If I remember correctly, the Li Group has diversified its business to cover consumer electronics, semiconductors, finance, healthcare and other fields!"

"Among them, the electronics industry and semiconductors are the pillar industries of the group. I was wondering..." Su Chen touched his chin, with a meaningful smile on his face, "If these two industries are impacted, will your Li Group also be greatly affected?"

Especially in the field of semiconductors, the Lee Group is one of the world's largest manufacturers, specializing in the production of chips for companies such as Apple and Qualcomm, and its annual profits account for more than 40% of the group's profits!
If any changes really happen, it will undoubtedly be a devastating blow to the Li Group.

As soon as Su Chen finished speaking, Li Mingze's face turned pale instantly. He obviously did not expect that Su Chen would be so familiar with their Li Group's business layout, and even directly pointed out the group's core industries - electronic manufacturing and semiconductors!
With China's economic development in recent years, there have been great breakthroughs in electronic manufacturing, which has had a huge impact on the electronic manufacturing of the Li Group.

Originally, their group's electronic products dominated the entire East Asia and Southeast Asia, but with the vigorous development of China's electronics industry, they gradually lost most of the market.

As for the current market, the group has spent a lot of effort to stabilize it.

But if semiconductors were also affected... Li Mingze couldn't imagine what the scene would be like.

"Su Chen, what do you mean?" Li Mingze's voice was as cold as ice, and his eyes revealed a hint of uneasiness and anger!
"Do you think you can shake the foundation of our Li Group by yourself?"

"In the field of semiconductors, China seems to be far behind the world level. Even if you are given a few more years, you will not be able to reach the world level. I don't know where you get the courage to say this."

You should know that the Lee Group has spent a lot of effort on semiconductors, spending a lot of money and resources on research every year in order to develop more advanced and efficient chips.

As for the semiconductor companies currently on the market, except for top semiconductor companies like NVIDIA and Intel that can compete with them, the others are no match for them.

Li Mingze really couldn't understand where Su Chen got the confidence to have an impact on the Li Group's semiconductor industry.

"Haha~" Su Chen sneered, "Young Master Li, your Li Group is indeed very strong in the semiconductor industry, but it is not invulnerable!"

"Just like the electronic manufacturing of the Lee Group back then, it can be said that you owned more than 80% of the market share in East Asia and Southeast Asia. But what about now?"

"In just a few years, Huaxia Electronic Manufacturing has grown by leaps and bounds, achieved a qualitative breakthrough, and taken back its own market!"

"But what about your Li Group? Your current market share should not exceed 20%, or even less, right?"

"It's only been a few years. Can you guarantee that the Li Group's semiconductor position will not change in the next few years?"

Su Chen recalled the information he had received when he flew to Europe before. He tapped the table twice, looked at Li Mingze with a playful smile on his face and said, "Maybe we don't have to wait a few years. Maybe this year the dominance of the Li Group's semiconductor industry will be affected!"

Li Mingze's expression became even uglier. He knew that such words were not groundless. If Su Chen did not have the confidence, he would definitely not have said such words.

Li Mingze stood up suddenly, and the bodyguard behind him immediately stepped forward!
Chen Fei, Booker and his team members behind Su Chen also took a step forward. Some team members even put their hands directly on the black briefcase and tactical backpack, as if they were ready to fight.

The atmosphere instantly became tense.

"Su Chen, don't be so arrogant!" Li Ming said with gritted teeth: "Do you think you can scare me with just a few words?"

"The position of our Li Group in the global semiconductor market cannot be shaken by people like you!"

"Oh, really? Then let's wait and see!" Su Chen shrugged indifferently, with a smile on his face without hiding the slightest bit.

Li Mingze was particularly nervous when he saw this. A bad idea suddenly emerged in his mind. It seemed that the strategy of provoking Su Chen to save face and gaining a foothold in Europe through the Habsburg family was wrong!

At this moment, a cell phone ring rang, breaking the tense situation.

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and found that it was Li Mingze's cell phone ringing.

Before he could react, Xie He and Su Chen's cell phones rang.

Seeing the caller ID, the smile on Su Chen's face deepened several points!
