Korean TV series: King of Peninsula 1997

Chapter 133 Golden Gate
Another cold face flashed through Li Zhongjiu's mind, and he hesitated, "His brother..."

"His name is Li Zicheng," Shi Dongchu added with a smile.

"Li Zicheng," Li Zhongjiu paused, "I can't see this person clearly."

"It doesn't matter if you can't see clearly," Shi Dongchu said meaningfully, "You just need to know that he listens to Ding Qing very much, that's all."

"Ding Qing and he are one."

Li Zhongjiu lowered his head and thought a lot. The relationship between Ding Qing and Li Zicheng was really similar to that between Shi Dongchu and him.

But he didn't say it in the end.

"I understand, brother."

Shi Dongchu nodded and said, "Don't think that Li You and Ding Qing have a good relationship and can be called friends. Once the Golden Gate is established, their relationship will gradually become dull."

He rubbed his eyebrows. After all, he was old and he was indeed a little tired after a day of meetings.

"Li You has calmed down in these two months, but that doesn't mean his ambition has calmed down."

Shi Dongchu warned him, "You have to understand that Li You is younger than everyone else, and his current status... will be second only to me."

"Such people will only work harder to move forward and will never be content with the status quo."

"Further up?" Li Zhongjiu's face was stern. "If he threatens my position, I will take care of him!"

Shi Dongchu smiled bitterly and shook his head, "He won't use force. I've already said it. You guys compete."

He sighed secretly in his heart. If Li Zhongjiu was good enough, he would definitely want to leave Kinmen to Li Zhongjiu.

Shi Dongchu, who had no children, treated him as his own relative.

But his relatives cannot override his goals. If Li Zhongjiu cannot make progress with his help, he will pass Kinmen to someone who can lead Kinmen to the top.

He thought of what happened to Shunyang some time ago and felt bitter.

Who doesn't want to leave the property to those close to him? Chen Yangzhe of Shunyang has always insisted that the eldest son should inherit. Part of the reason is that his eldest son had been in jail for him, but his eldest son was also the one closest to him, so there was no large-scale palace fighting in Shunyang.

However, the large-scale palace fighting in Shunyang some time ago has confirmed that Chen Yangzhe no longer insists on the eldest son's inheritance, and Shi Dongchu can also guess the reason.

The excellence of that little grandson has gradually begun to conquer Chen Yangzhe's heart. Who wouldn't want a successor who is good enough to take over the business and take it to the next level?

The reason why she has not made any move is simply that she cannot bear to give up her eldest son, whom she is close to.

Just like now, Shi Dongchu knows that Li Zhongjiu is not as good as Li You, but he still holds on to hope and wants to train Li Zhongjiu.

The second session was completed in less than two hours.

Among the individual shareholders of Kinmen Group, only Shi Dongchu, Li You and Ding Qing held larger shares, while Park Huichang and Li Zhongjiu only held a small amount.

Nearly half of the shares were acquired by several major investors, adding energy and funds behind Kinmen.

Only investors and Shi Dongchu attended the meeting.

Li You signed his name on the contract and handed the document to Shi Dongchu who was sitting next to him. Shi Dongchu took the document with a smile on his face.

He extended a hand to Li You and looked at him, "We will be a family from now on, President Li."

Li You shook his hand and said, "President Shi, just call me by my name."

Shi Dongchu smiled and said, "I have bought a building in Cheongdam-dong. It will be the headquarters of Kinmen. It will be renovated in April and we can move in."

"The president placed the Kinmen headquarters in Jiangnan?"

Li You was indeed a little surprised. Although Li You did not reach into Cheongdam-dong, it belonged to Gangnam District after all.

"You are not the only one who has a pair of discerning eyes," Shi Dongchu let go of Li You's hand, "I know how attractive the three districts of Jiangnan are."

He became serious, "The first thing Kinmen must do is to protect Kinmen. Placing the Kinmen Building in Cheongdam-dong is just a chess move."

Li You nodded. "It just so happens that the building I built will be completed in June. By then, I will hang up the signs of Jinmen Real Estate and Jiangnan Industrial at the same time."

"That couldn't be better," Shi Dongchu greeted Ding Qing who was coming over with a smile, "President Ding."

"You two!" Ding Qing laughed and performed a strange etiquette, "From now on, we are really a family!"

"Of course," even Li Zhongjiu came over, "We'll have to stand together from now on."

Park Huichang just stood by and smiled silently.

Shi Dongchu nodded slightly, "I will go and talk to the investors in detail, you guys can exchange ideas."

He walked a few steps and then turned back, "You should say hello more often later. It never hurts to get to know your investors better."

After seeing several people nod, he turned around.

Li Zhongjiu took a breath and said, "No matter how fiercely the fight between our three sects was, in the future..."

He turned his gaze to Li You, "From now on, there will only be competition within the Kinmen Group. We are no longer one of the three factions."

Ding Qing stepped forward with a smile, "Then Director Li, how about we hug each other? That will resolve the conflict."

Watching them hug, Li You clapped softly.

"Director Li," Li Zhongjiu stepped forward, "We?"

Li You and he patted each other on the back symbolically.

Ding Qing and Li You, on the other hand, touched each other very naturally. There was no conflict between them, they just did that simply to avoid others thinking that they had a conflict.

Even though the largest individual shareholders in the group are Shi Dongchu, Li You and Ding Qing, the combined shares of small and large investors are not a small number, so of course they have to take it seriously.

Just when Shi Dongchu separated from those investors, Li You took the initiative to step forward and say hello.

"Director Li!" Compared with Li Zhongjiu, these representatives of investors are much more worldly-wise.

Li You shook hands with them one by one, greeted them with a smile, and exchanged business cards.

The equity held by these people will be very important in the future.

Power depends not only on the knife, but also on the exchange of interests. Only when the benefits you bring to them are high enough will they choose you. After Li You exchanged greetings with them, he left the hotel.

It has been more than three years, almost four years, since I awakened my memory after joining the army.

It has been a year and a half since I returned to Seoul.

The weather is very good today. The sunshine shines on him, making his figure look slender.

Li You stood in front of the hotel's door and took a deep breath, as if he wanted to spit out all the past years.

The hotel doorman bent down respectfully and opened the car door for him.

After he stepped out of the door, he looked back and saw his past self reflected in the glass of the hotel door.

Li You watched quietly for a few seconds, then turned around with a smile after hearing the shout. A black car was standing silently in front of the hotel.

Its exterior is glossy, calm and restrained, its headlights are like the eyes of a sleeping animal, and its silver wheels refract cold light in the sun.

Mou Xianmin was standing next to the black car. She looked at Li You with a smile and walked over with her skirt lifted.

Mou Xianmin's outfit is simple and cool. The dark long skirt covers her slim figure like the night. The hem of her skirt sways gently in the wind, as if rhythmically keeping pace with her elegant steps.

Mou Xianmin's lips curled up slightly, and Li You smiled. He strode forward and put his arm around the woman.

The woman didn't care about the hem of her skirt and put her arms around his waist. "Is it done?"

"It's done."

The integration of the industry began the second they signed the contract.

In a modern city built of steel and concrete, if there are only a few small businesses, even if they are integrating industries, the upper class will not look at them straight in the eye.

Just like a chess player doesn't care about the pieces on the board.

However, the merger of Kinmen Industries attracted much more attention.

This change attracted the attention of most of the upper class in Seoul.

Some people wanted to see a few kids making fun of themselves for overestimating their own capabilities, while others were carefully studying the possible future of Kinmen.

Shi Dongchu has been carrying out corporate integration with the Kinmen Group, combining the same industries of various companies.

Thanks to his careful planning over the years, the integration is proceeding vigorously.

During the integration, the tables in the conference room of the temporary headquarters of the Golden Gate Group were piled with documents and data, showing the scale and speed of this business transformation.

It can be seen from the signs of various shops and companies that in just March, Kinmen’s signs were almost all over Seoul.

Even the names of those nightclubs will have the Golden Gate logo behind them.

Not only are they merging the same industries, Li You and Ding Qing are also using the huge capital flow and power brought by Kinmen to acquire companies in the same industry.

Yoon Hyun-woo, Choi Doo-il, Yong Dae and Ahn Sang-koo represent Lee You in running around Seoul all day long, contributing to Kinmen Real Estate.

Kinmen Real Estate was the first to complete the integration of the group's internal resources, and completed the mergers and acquisitions of several real estate companies at an astonishing speed, and then quickly and effectively integrated the various resources of these companies.

As March comes to an end, this transformation is gradually coming to an end.

Some of the acquired companies disappeared from people’s sight, while some projects have gained new vitality in Kinmen.

Throughout March, news about Kinmen reached the ears of the city's middle and upper classes every day.
But no matter what these upper-class people think, Kinmen has initially established a foothold in Seoul. It can be said that it has already established a firm foothold in the Korean Peninsula.

Kinmen remained very low-key before completing all preparations.

Such a large enterprise neither held a press conference nor used the media to promote its business, but just quietly went about its business.

Integration, merger, integration, and merger.

Kinmen quietly turned into a behemoth.

April 1, Cheongdam-dong, Gangnam District, Seoul.

In the modern urban skyline, the Kinmen headquarters building, which recently completed industrial mergers and acquisitions, stands in a bustling neighborhood.

The exterior of the building uses a large area of ​​glass curtain wall. The sunlight passes through the colorless and transparent glass, refracting a faint halo, making the entire building shine with silvery white light in the sun.

The entrance to the building is a spacious glass porch with the company name and logo hanging above it. The golden swirling Golden Gate logo shines brightly in the sun.

The security guards on both sides of the porch appeared well-trained, and staff members were coming in and out of the porch in a hurry.

Many of the security personnel and staff were once low-income people, and they have gained a new life in Kinmen.

Of course, various talents were recruited, and they were also the first batch of external employees of this new enterprise in Kinmen.

The building is surrounded by a carefully designed landscape green belt with green plants and flowers arranged in an orderly manner.

The black car that Mou Xianmin had just given to Li You stopped in front of the gate, attracting attention.

Li You stepped out of the car and looked up at the GOLDMOON logo, which is called Golden Gate in Korean English.

The lines of his crimson coat were straight, perfectly outlining his broad shoulders and the narrowness of his waist, showing a sense of silent strength.

On the chest of his suit jacket, a golden badge gleamed, and on his wrist, the hands of a silver watch ticked.

The security guard at the door tactfully stepped forward and bowed his head, and the automatic door slowly opened.

Li You walked through the gate, his figure was completely different from the first time he stepped into Jiangnan Industrial.

As you step into the spacious lobby, you'll smell a mixture of light incense and coffee, a scent that those self-proclaimed high-class types will enjoy.

Everyone he met would greet him respectfully, and there was no longer any distinction between the three factions.

The facial photos of several senior executives of the Kinmen Group are now in the induction handbook of every new employee, and everyone is required to make a note of them.

This is Kinmen. There was no fanfare, but all the details were implemented.
