Korean TV series: King of Peninsula 1997

Chapter 138 The Benefits of Communication

"It's not just a matter of profit," Li You tapped the table lightly, "it can provide jobs and positions for a large number of people."

"There is also an information network throughout South Korea," Shi Dongchu's eyes sparkled. "If they place an order on the platform, they will inevitably leave their information with the company, right?"

Mou Zhengxiong obviously thought of this as well. He frowned and said, "This kind of information collection capability can even cover the entire country."

"After all, there are always people who want to buy things," Li You looked at the dishes that had been served, "and they can't run to that mall, so they always have to leave a message to have the food delivered to their door."

"We can't rush this," Shi Dongchu said with a wry smile, "If Kinmen makes this kind of arrangement now, it will be more trouble than it gains."

He said seriously, "But we can first conduct a pilot in some areas of Seoul. We will set up a telephone ordering and delivery platform to test the effect first."

Mou Zhengxiong narrowed his eyes and said, "President Shi can use the channels under Xiancheng Daily, but the platform..."

"Of course I have to do this with Chairman Mou," Shi Dongchu thought for a moment, "How about this, Chairman Mou, you will be responsible for building the telephone platform, and Jinmen will persuade those merchants for the telephone platform?"

"Naturally, Xiancheng Daily takes the lion's share of the profits."

Mou Zhengxiong smiled and said, "It's just a pilot project. The profit is nothing. What I mean is that if we really want to build such a large-scale logistics platform in the future, President Shi should not leave us alone."

"Of course," Shi Dongchu listened to Mou Zhengxiong's straightforward words and patted his chest to assure, "It was Li You who came up with the idea. Naturally, I can't do such a thing."

Li You picked up the wine pot on the table. It was indeed an elegant place, even the wine pot was ancient. He poured wine for the two of them and picked up his own wine glass. "Then I wish the pilot a success."

The three of them drank some wine, one cup after another, and Shi Dongchu started to talk about the main topic vaguely, "Chairman Mou, I wonder if Xiancheng Group is interested in holding some shares with Jinmen?"

Li You narrowed his eyes. Shi Dongchu's purpose was obvious. Only one month after the merger, he wanted to expand the board of directors again.

Shi Dongchu glanced at him, knowing what Li You was thinking, and smiled bitterly, "It's not what you think. You are only in charge of Kinmen Real Estate. Don't you know that Kinmen Group is short of money again?"

"The huge cash flow from the merger is still supporting Kinmen, but Kinmen can't rely on it forever. There will always be a time when it runs out of cash."

"Has the first batch of funds been approved now?" Li You understood a little.

"Well," Shi Dongchu looked at Mou Zhengxiong, then at Li You, "I won't hide it from Chairman Mou either."

"Now the first batch of funds has been approved after Kinmen raised funds. It has been invested in real estate projects, logistics and trade, and entertainment companies. A lot of money has been invested in each of them, but it will take some time for real estate and logistics and trade to make a profit. Now it is all supported by the income from the gray industry and entertainment companies."

"The group does not have much money on its books."

One thing leads to another, Li You was smiling in his heart. Shi Dongchu, with insufficient funds, began to put people on the board of directors. This time he found Mou Zhengxiong, and next time he would find someone else.

The shares of Kinmen Group will be diluted, and the more complex the personnel, the more difficult it will be to manage. However, the group structure will be relatively stable, and it will not rely too much on one project, nor will it have a monopoly.

The reason why Shi Dongchu first looked for Mou Zhengxiong was very obvious, which was to prevent Li You from thinking too much. After all, the relationship between Mou Xianmin and Li You was there.

It wouldn't matter if Mou Zhengxiong joined in and Li You's shares were diluted a little. After all, if he diluted his shares, others would also dilute their shares, and Mou Zhengxiong was in the same camp as him.

Mou Zhengxiong looked at Li You and found that he did not show any dissatisfaction, so he agreed with a smile. This is just a small matter, just some funds.
At this, he clapped his hands, "It just so happens that Xianmin has also been exposed to a lot of things about Xiancheng Group, so why not let her represent me to join the board of directors of Jinmen."

"Li You, what do you think?" He looked at Li You with bright eyes.

Lee You smiled and said, "We have to let Hyun Min choose for herself."

Shi Dongchu saw that the momentum was good, and continued with a smile, "Then President Mou should go back and discuss it with Miss Mou, and let Miss Mou make her own decision."

Shi Dongchu raised his glass and said, "I'll toast to President Mou again!"

The three of them stayed at the banquet until the evening, and even the dishes on the table were changed twice. Most of them only ate a little, but they were cold.

Shi Dongchu warmly saw the two of them off before getting in the car and returning to Kinmen.

Mou Zhengxiong drove Li You back home, and on the way Mou Zhengxiong was no longer drunk as he was in the room.

He sighed softly, "President Shi from your Kinmen is a very capable person. I know you are very capable."

"But you still have to be careful when you are under his control, so as not to fall into his trap."

Li You smiled and said, "Thank you for the reminder, uncle."

Mou Zhengxiong thought of Mou Xianmin and felt helpless. "At first, I didn't really support Xianmin following you. After all, as a father, I'm afraid that my daughter will suffer."

He looked at Li You and said, "But you have dispelled my doubts with your actions. If you need my help in the future, just ask me directly, and don't always use Hyun Min to talk."

He patted Li You on the shoulder, and Li You naturally agreed.

Mou Zhengxiong said gently, "You two have been dating for quite some time. I have thought about it carefully."

"Have you ever thought about getting engaged to Hyun-min first?"

Li You was stunned for a moment. He narrowed his eyes and thought about the time. "Since uncle asked, is it the end of this year?"

Mou Zhengxiong smiled and patted Li You's arm in a friendly manner. "Now that you've said that, your uncle has an idea in mind. I'll go back and discuss it with Hyun Min's mother, and then I'll choose a date for your engagement at the end of the year."

He grabbed Li You's arm and said, "When you take over Jinmen, you two can get married. How about that?"

Li You smiled and gently patted Mou Zhengxiong's arm, "Since uncle has said so, I will do it as soon as possible."

"Don't," Mou Zhengxiong let go of his hand. "You can't rush into this kind of thing. I'm just letting you know first."

He was somewhat relieved. "Your Chairman Shi is expected to lead Kinmen to a thorough cleansing. The way to the top is naturally through non-violent means. Otherwise, there will be a lot of gossip from the outside world." Mou Zhengxiong gave Li You a lot of instructions and regarded Li You as a real junior.

The car stopped by the roadside and Li You got out and bowed slightly to say goodbye.

Li You strode into the house and found Mou Xianmin in the bedroom, sleeping soundly on the bed. He sat down beside the bed and looked at the sleeping beauty.

The room was filled with a faint fragrance, a fresh and slightly sweet scent, which intertwined with the woman's natural body fragrance in the air.

In the silence, one could hear Mou Xianmin's gentle breathing, regular and deep. She was sleeping soundly. Her face was peaceful, and the corners of her eyes were slightly raised, as if she was smiling even in her dream.

Mou Xianmin's sleeping posture looks particularly elegant, with her long hair scattered on the pillow like a waterfall, and her pajamas gently brushing against her skin, highlighting her graceful figure.

Her arms were casually draped over the bed, her fingers slightly curled, and the silver anklet on her ankle sparkled in the sunlight. It was a gift from Li You.

The silk pajamas gently covered her slender figure, rising and falling gently with her breathing, like a lotus leaf floating on the water.

Li You lowered his head and looked at her, his breath brushing gently across her face. She seemed to feel it and frowned slightly, then relaxed. After a while, she reluctantly opened her eyes.

"You came back so you came back, but you had to wake me up," Mou Xianmin reached out and held Li You's hand, "Did the talk go well?"

"It went smoothly," Li You smiled gently, "My uncle even asked me when I'm going to get engaged to you."

"Engagement!?" Mou Xianmin sat up, "You...you agreed?"

"Why shouldn't I agree?" Li You touched her blushing face. "My uncle said he would go back and discuss with my aunt to choose a better date at the end of the year."

"Let's settle the matter first. As for marriage, we have to wait until I conquer Kinmen," Li You leaned forward and kissed her lips. After a long moment, they parted. "Are you impatient?"

Mou Xianmin snorted, "You have to work hard."

She hesitated for two seconds, then took the initiative to shrink to Li You's side, "I will try my best to help you. I hope I can help you."

"Come to think of it, I do need your help," Li You hugged her.

"Go ahead, go ahead," Mou Xianmin leaned against him.

Li You told her about Shi Dongchu's intention to expand the board of directors, which shocked Mou Xianmin. "Isn't he blatantly trying to squeeze people into the board of directors?"

Even if the person who came first was Mou Zhengxiong, who was on Li You's side, Shi Dongchu would inevitably add more people in step by step.

After the board meeting, a group of new directors were introduced. This cannot be said to be a bad thing. After all, they really introduced funds and connections. However, the people Shi Dongchu introduced were probably people he was familiar with.

Once the funds are injected, the total number of board members increases, but the equity remains the same, so the original equity will inevitably be diluted.

The purpose is to increase Shi Dongchu's control over the parent group.

"The group has to take this step to expand its scale," Li You did not change much, but comforted Mou Xianmin, "It's nothing to dilute some equity."

Li You narrowed his eyes. "At this stage, Shi Dongchu actually hopes that we can find some new investors to serve as directors for Kinmen in order to ensure our voice and further strengthen Kinmen's position."

He laughed. "I happen to have some good candidates."

Mou Xianmin sighed, "Yes, as long as you pay attention to this in advance, your status will actually rise. Do you want me to help you find some more people?"

Mou Xianmin is right. On the contrary, if this point is not noticed in advance, the status and voice in Kinmen will be reduced as the equity is diluted.

"That's not necessary. After all, too much is as bad as too little."

Li You did have a few very good candidates in mind, but he had to go and talk to them in person to see if they were willing to cooperate.

"Since you have an idea, I won't say much," Mou Xianmin straightened his tie for him, "Aren't you going to meet Chen Daojun tonight?"

Li You nodded, "It's almost time, I'll leave then."

Yoon Hyun-woo had already prepared the car at the door and the driver was also in place.

As soon as Li You left, Yin Xuanyou followed him and said, "President, Jinmen Real Estate has stopped the acquisition of the project as you ordered."

"You did a good job," Li You nodded, then got into the car first.

Yin Xuanyou sat in the co-pilot seat, and Li You lowered the front and rear partitions behind him. "In the next few days, remember to visit the construction sites that are under construction more often to ensure the construction period and start making profits for Jinmen Real Estate as soon as possible."

"Yes, President."

Li You leaned his head back in the chair, "Please inform Dou Ri not to go on business for the next few days. Let him and Quan Zaijun take people out with me."

Li You noticed Yin Xuanyou's expression and knew that this boy had wrong ideas. "It's not about fighting and killing."

Yoon Hyunwoo lowered his head, "I'm so sorry, President."

No matter how good your skills are, you still have to be prepared for security. Li You doesn't like to put himself in danger.

"Also remember to pick out some gifts," he frowned, "buy more gifts that noble ladies would like. You can ask Madam how to buy them. She might need them in a couple of days."

"Yes, President."
