After divorce, I can hear the voice of the future

Chapter 787 The bandits can go, and I can go too
"BlackRock hinted that Cheung Kong Holdings should sell all of its port businesses, which Li Ka-shing resented, so he came to me hoping I could join them in helping them resist BlackRock..."

Lu Liang succinctly explained the situation. He knew Li Ka-shing's idea was simply to muddy the waters so that the Li family could take advantage of the chaos and gain some breathing room.

Old Li shouldn't have asked him for help, and he shouldn't have let him know that the port business was a golden goose, not only with stable profits but also with long-term sustainability.

If Lu Liang didn't know and had no way to get involved, that would be one thing. But now that he does know, how could he possibly let go of such a big piece of the pie?

However, in the short term, he has too many things to do and no time to attend to anything else, so Lu Liang plans to invite JPMorgan Chase to get a share of the pie.

"Camon, do you dare say you're not interested? You know, this isn't just a good project, it's a very good benefit."

Lu Liang's voice was like the devil's murmur, full of allure. Wilson frowned and asked, "You would be so kind? I don't believe it at all."

"Camon, is that what you think of me? I'm heartbroken."

Lu Liang patted his chest, heartbroken and indignant.

Then, speaking earnestly, he said, "Think about it, when have I ever deliberately targeted you?"

“In the past, we were forced to stand on the opposite side because of conflicts of interest.”

"Think about it now. When our interests align, am I not firmly standing by your side?"

All his past achievements prove that Li Ka-shing has exceptional vision, but he is also a fan of the lightning-fast knee slide.

Lu Liang always felt that even with his involvement, BlackRock would not easily give up its covetousness for the port business.

Although capital has no borders, capitalists do have nations.

As long as it is within his power and does not harm his own interests, Lu Liang still hopes that the Chinese group will control these important ports.

Even though Li Ka-shing's Chinese conglomerate is not entirely pure and could defect at any time, it has not defected yet, so it is still a Chinese conglomerate.

Wilson suddenly realized Lu Liang's intention: "You want Morgan to restrain BlackRock and Cheung Kong Holdings?"

BlackRock's desire to acquire CK Asset Holdings' port business could trigger two worst-case scenarios due to Li Ka-shing's invitation to Lu Liang to join the company.

First, BlackRock withdrew, and CK Asset Holdings abandoned its supporters after using them.

Secondly, BlackRock was unwilling to accept this, so Lu Liang had to get more involved and thus had no time to take care of the development of Tianxing Financial.

Therefore, Lu Liang thought of inviting JPMorgan Chase. If they agreed, neither of the two worst-case scenarios would happen.

It's like speculating in the financial market: first, you need to ensure you don't lose your principal, and then you can try to maximize your profits.

"You dare?"

Lu Liang chuckled lightly, neither confirming nor denying.

"What's there to be afraid of?" Wilson retorted.

While BlackRock is the world's number one fund company, JPMorgan Chase is still the number one investment bank in the United States.

As long as I can help him get through the Q3 crisis safely, I'll give him two bullets even if it's God.

Lu Liang couldn't help but chuckle, teasingly asking, "I remember you being Jewish? What? You don't believe in Yahwe anymore?"

The only religion of the Squid Tribe is the true god Yahweh, who is also known as Jehovah in Christian doctrine.

"If I had believed he was useful, I wouldn't have ended up like this."

"Haha, then one day join me in believing in Guan Sheng, who is loyal, righteous, and also known as the God of War and Wealth."

"Is he a Taoist or a Buddhist?"

"Both are called Guan Sheng Di Jun in Taoism and Garan Bodhisattva in Buddhism."

"pagan?"

"Why worry about so much? Amitabha Buddha, Amen!"

"..."

Meanwhile, outside the cabin, on the tarmac.

Zheng Xuanyi casually inquired about the situation indirectly: "Secretary Xu, what is Mr. Lu busy with?"

Although they hadn't met many times, in his impression, Lu Liang wasn't the kind of person who was tactless or deliberately put on airs.

He personally came to pick Lu Liang up from the airport, even driving his convoy to the tarmac, but they still had to wait, which shows that Lu Liang had something very important to do.

Now, who doesn't know Lu Liang's reputation as a wealth harvester? He takes this matter very seriously and urgently, because it must be profitable.

"I'm not quite sure. Why don't you wait for Mr. Lu to come out and then ask him yourself, Mr. Zheng?"

Xu Jiawei smiled slightly. The situation was very tense, and no matter which angle Zheng Xuanyi approached the topic from, he did not reveal any information.

Zheng Xuanyi smiled, not angry at all, and then chatted with Xu Jiawei about everyday family matters.

For example, whether he's married, has a girlfriend, or has a favorite Korean actress. Hyundai Group, relying on Bitcoin, staged a remarkable comeback and has returned to its position as a top-tier conglomerate.

Conglomerates like Hanwha and Lotte can wield immense power in the entertainment industry.

Moreover, Hyundai Group, a Korean national enterprise whose strength and status are now second only to Samsung Group.

If Xu Jiawei has his eye on any idol, and they're in China, he'll definitely show up in their hotel room tonight.

Xu Jiawei shook his head repeatedly: "Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Zheng, but I am not considering personal feelings for the time being."

"Who told you we were talking about feelings? It's just a casual fling, and we don't have to take any responsibility."

Zheng Xuanyi smiled and talked about JYP Entertainment's recent plan to form a girl group of post-00s, with five members, all of whom are beautiful young girls aged eighteen.

Upon learning that Lu Liang was coming, he specially borrowed this girl group from a friend so that they could familiarize themselves with the rules of the Korean entertainment industry in advance.

"Hehe~~" Xu Jiawei gave a forced smile and suddenly looked towards the cabin door: "President Lu is out."

Lu Liang smiled and waved to Zheng Xuanyi. He quickened his pace, quickly went up the boarding stairs, and came to Zheng Xuanyi with a face full of apology: "Mr. Zheng, I'm so sorry, I had a phone call just now and kept you waiting."

"It didn't take long," Zheng Xuanyi said with a smile, warmly inviting Lu Liang to get in the car so they could travel together to the city.

During the journey, Lu Liang said frankly, "Mr. Zheng, I won't hide it from you. I'm here today because of Alipay's business in Korea."

He repeated the same conversation he had with Ota Rei yesterday to Zheng Xuanyi, albeit in a slightly different way.

Unlike Ota Rei's hesitation, Zheng Xuanyi was very decisive: "Mr. Lu, how would you like Hyundai Group to help you?"

Ant Group collaborates with Sumitomo Mitsui in Japan, which is why Rei Ota hesitated and couldn't even make a decision.

However, the business in Korea is in cooperation with Samsung. Just as Lu Liang guessed, Zheng Xuanyi was more than happy for him to fight with the Samsung Group, and was even more willing to hand him the knife.

"How much do you know about the Kakao Group?" Lu Liang asked.

Zheng Xuanyi looked serious and nodded, saying, "Kakao is a unicorn company that is roughly equivalent to Alipay, Didi, and Meituan in Korea. Its largest shareholder is Samsung, and BlackRock Group has been introduced by Samsung to indirectly hold shares."

Lu Liang said softly, "Hyundai is a national enterprise of Korea. Such an important business as financial payment should not fall into the hands of outsiders. Mr. Zheng, do you think that's right?"

Zheng Xuanyi nodded: "Mr. Lu, you are right."

The two smiled at each other,
They have already reached a tacit understanding.

Every action needs a just cause, and Lu Liang provided the Modern Group with a reason to take action.

Zheng Xuanyi pondered for a moment and asked, "Mr. Lu, what should we do as the first step?"

"How many users does OXX have?" Lu Liang suddenly asked.

"Currently, there are approximately 2300 million registered accounts, with about 1160 million daily active funds accounts."

Upon hearing Zheng Xuanyi's words, Lu Liang was immediately alarmed, as the population of Goryeo was only slightly over 5000 million.

If we subtract the 9.7 million minors under the age of 19 and the 7.1 million elderly people over the age of 65, based on the data released last year, we can further subtract the 9.7 million minors under the age of 19 and the 7.1 million elderly people over the age of 65.

高丽20-64岁的区间人口数量约3320万，而加密货币交易平台的注册账户就达到2300万，日活账户更是达到1160万。

Leaving aside the minority of individuals holding multiple accounts, at least one in three people are involved in cryptocurrency.

Lu Liang knew all too well what cryptocurrency was; it could make you rich overnight, or it could make you poor overnight.

With one-third of the nation's young and middle-aged population being gamblers, the future of this country is predictable.

After a moment's thought, Lu Liang said, "I think there is a possibility that XOO and Kakao could cooperate."

Kakao is a payment platform, while XOO is a financial consumption platform; their user bases largely overlap.

If Zheng Xuanyi cooperates with the Kakao Group with goodwill, it will definitely lower their guard.

Zheng Xuanyi frowned, vaguely guessing Lu Liang's intention: "To seize power in the course of cooperation?"

Lu Liang nodded. This time, he planned to emulate the traditional practices of Wall Street institutions.

Small countries and their people share a common problem: to put it nicely, they have a strong sense of self-esteem; to put it bluntly, they are overly sensitive and easily hurt.

First, let XOO pretend to connect with Kakao. Then, Hyundai Group will raise the banner of nationalism and launch a media offensive to criticize Kakao Group and Samsung for their various pro-American actions.

Next, Lu Liang will give another interview, learning from his predecessor Suo, and advocating the theory of the collapse of the Korean economy, causing market panic, and finally joining forces with Hyundai Group to reap the rewards.

Wall Street institutions used this tactic in the past, and have reaped countless profits from companies and the nation's wealth.

The charming old ancestor of Luliang said it well.

The bandits can go, and so can I.

There's no reason why they can do it, but Lu Liang can't.
