Korean TV series: King of Peninsula 1997

Chapter 150: The Secret of Shi Wu
Most newly established trading companies will choose to cooperate with a more reputable logistics company, and wait until the funds are provided before trying to build a complete supply chain.

Kinmen Trade has a large amount of import and export business. When Kinmen Logistics itself cannot handle such a large number of waybills, it is undoubtedly the safest choice to find a logistics company to cooperate with.

"I have to do it." Ding Qing looked old, and Li You felt that he had more wrinkles on his face now.

"If Kinmen Trade wants to expand, it can only develop Kinmen Logistics first. If it continues to rely on others' logistics industry, it will become dependent."

Li You agreed with him. If he were in Ding Qing's position, he would do the same.

"Oh, right," he recalled what he had discussed with Shi Dongchu and Mou Zhengxiong before. "President, we said we would cooperate with President Mou on a telephone delivery platform. Is there any progress?"

"Yes," Shi Dongchu nodded, pointing at Ding Qing, "I asked Director Ding to form a team that can deliver goods in Seoul."

"There will probably be a hundred people," Ding Qing frowned, "but this kind of thing still needs to be piloted, and it can't be operated directly in Seoul. A hundred people are too few in Seoul."

"To set up a dedicated operator department, Director Li will have to go find Chairman Mou again."

"No problem," Li You agreed readily, "Why not open it in Jiangnan?"

The headquarters of Kinmen Group, the soon-to-be-completed headquarters of Kinmen Real Estate, and Jiangnan Industrial are all located in Jiangnan, which provides more convenience in terms of manpower.

"Then we'll pilot it in Jiangnan first," Shi Dongchu nodded, "and then we'll have to publicize it in Xiancheng Daily."

The three of them just had a brief chat and if the pilot is successful, then this kind of call delivery platform will gradually expand in scale.

Shi Dongchu stood up on his own initiative when he saw the people coming from behind, and Li You and Ding Qing naturally followed suit.

As if it had been agreed, the three chaebol heads came in one after another.

Chairman Jin Jianrong of Tianxia Group walked in with his secretary at a steady pace.

The gray-haired Jin Jianrong is much younger than Chen Yangzhe. If Li You remembers correctly, he is only about fifty years old now, but his face is already covered with wrinkles.

"Chairman Shi," he smiled and shook hands with Shi Dongchu, "These two should be Director Li and Director Ding?"

Jin Jianrong nodded at the two of them, greeted them, and sat down at table number one with a smile.

Chairman Zhu in the camp behind was a burly man, but he was not familiar with anyone in Kinmen, and there was even some abnormal competitive relationship between them. So he just nodded and walked over.

After all, Daying Group is now trying desperately to seize Shunyang's logistics industry, and now that Kinmen Trade has added a piece of the pie, he is naturally a little unhappy.

Shi Dongchu's Qi cultivation skills are still very deep. He continued to greet Chen Yangzhe from Shunyang with a smile.

"President Chen," Shi Dongchu shook hands with him.

Secretary Li behind Chen Yangzhe looked at Li You and greeted him with a chuckle. After all, the two of them were now from the same branch of the Jeonju Li family.

"Director Li," Chen Yangzhe said, "I didn't expect you to have some relationship with the Quanzhou Li family."

He smiled and said, "You can come to Zhengxinzhai and sit for a while in the future. Director Li has a separate residence in Zhengxinzhai."

"I will definitely visit, President Chen."

Seeing Li You nod his head in agreement, Chen Yangzhe smiled, greeted Ding Qing, and then sat down at table number three.

There was no sign from his behavior that he was dissatisfied with sitting at table number three.

Shi Dongchu sat down with a smile, looking at Li You and the other person who were also sitting down, he said softly: "Now there are many people in the group who don't understand why I am moving closer to Shunyang, do you know?"

Ding Qing stuffed a piece of fruit into his mouth and whispered vaguely, "The closer we are, the better the chance."

The tower near the water gets the moon first.

Li You nodded slightly, and Shi Dongchu put on an attitude that Kinmen wanted to be Shunyang's ally, which was a rare opportunity in Shunyang at this time.

However, no matter how much Shi Dongchu emphasized, due to the nature of Kinmen, it has not yet been completely whitewashed, and the hostile forces in Shunyang do not want to get involved with them.

Chen Yangzhe may know that if Shunyang falls in the next ten or twenty years, Kinmen may... or should be said to be a jackal that will pounce on him, but he cannot refuse Shi Dongchu's approach now.

As the lights on the auction table came on, the charity auction began and the auctioneer in a tuxedo walked onto the stage.

"The funds raised from this charity auction will be donated to poor families in South Korea," the future destination of the funds appeared on the big screen at the back.

"All donations will be made public to the society," the auctioneer bowed to them, "thank you for your support in bidding."

He briefly introduced the purpose of the auction and expressed his gratitude to every guest who attended.

"I would also like to thank the three presidents," the auctioneer spread his hands and extended them to tables one to three, "it is they who provided these items unconditionally."

The wealthy people present applauded.

At his wave, an employee in a black evening gown pushed the first item forward, which was an oil painting.

The auctioneer banged the gavel, and the lights in the ballroom focused on the painting.

"."

As the auctioneer's gavel continued to sound, the exquisite items were displayed one by one, and the atmosphere on the scene gradually heated up.

The wealthy people present here are not short of money, or it would be nice if they could use the money to buy some good reputation, otherwise what is the point of making the destination of the donations public.

Shi Dongchu took a picture of one of the antique statues. After taking the picture, he stood up and waved to everyone around him in a routine manner.

"After the auction," Shi Dongchu looked at the stage with a smile, and said to Li You and Ding Qing, "We have a dinner with President Chen of Shunyang."

"Are you all free?"

"No problem for me," Li You and Ding Qing clinked their glasses and took a sip of wine.

Ding Qing felt a little bored after drinking. He tugged at his tie and said, "I am free, but I don't know what I am doing."

From Li You's perspective, he is actually the person in Kinmen who should be in contact with Shunyang the most. After all, Shunyang's Chen Yangzhe made his fortune by logistics, and it would be good to gain some experience from Shunyang's logistics. However, Ding Qing seems reluctant to contact Shunyang.

"Director Ding has any opinion about Shunyang?" Shi Dongchu was a little surprised.

"It's not that I have any objections," Ding Qing narrowed his eyes, "it's just that we've had some unpleasantness recently."

"Unhappy?" Shi Dongchu stopped looking at the stage and turned to look at Ding Qing, "Can you tell me what happened?"

"Shun Yang recently used money to stun a client, causing me to waste a lot of energy again."

Li You put down his wine glass and asked, "Is Kinmen trade like this too?"

"What do you mean?" Ding Qing was stunned. "Don't tell me that Kinmen Real Estate is also like this."

"President Xian of Longfeng Real Estate was planning to transfer the real estate project to Jinmen Real Estate, but suddenly it was reported that he became Chen Xingjun's father-in-law and stood us up."

Shi Dongchu was silent for a while, "It seems that President Chen's control over Shunyang is declining."

"How could he not know?" Ding Qing was a little unconvinced.

Shi Dongchu shook his head. "It was President Chen who invited us this time, but he didn't tell us what it was about in advance. I don't know much about it either."

Li You knew part of the truth. Chen Yangzhe had begun to show symptoms of dementia from time to time, and his spirits were maintained by drugs.

A lot of power fell into the hands of his eldest son, Chen Rongji.

He glanced at Chen Yangzhe who was not far away. The table was not far away. Fortunately, the three people spoke very quietly, and the auctioneer on the stage was holding a microphone and making an impassioned speech, so his voice could not be transmitted.

When the auction on the stage reached the final moment, the auctioneer raised his arms and shouted, "This is not just an auction of an item, but also our responsibility to the society."

The hustle and bustle of the auction had just ended, and Li You arrived at a high-end club on the corner of a busy street as scheduled.

The receptionist at the entrance of the private room pushed open the door and was greeted by a luxurious and elegant interior, with crystal chandeliers emitting soft light and exquisite Persian carpets spread on the dark wooden floor.

Ding Qing had taken off his suit jacket, revealing the collar of his white shirt, and was leaning back in his chair with ease.

"Here it is," Ding Qing said with a smile as he poured tea for Li You. "This tea tastes bitter at first, but it's actually okay after you drink it for a while."

Li You took the teacup and said, "You only show that attitude in front of President Shi."

Ding Qing chuckled twice, "If I don't play the victim to him, how can he ask President Chen later?"

He looked at Li You twice and asked, "Has the issue between Kinmen Real Estate and Shunyang been resolved?"

"It's not solved," Li You shrugged. "The project can't be taken out of Shunyang's mouth, but I got a small revenge."

"I knew you would pay back for what you have done wrong." Ding Qing patted him on the shoulder. "You two haven't come yet, and you don't know that others are hungry."

Li You pointed at the fruit on the table and said, "Then eat a few bites of fruit first."

It was just a joke, but Ding Qing pretended to think seriously and then actually bit into the apple.

"To be honest," Ding Qing complained to him while chewing an apple, "This is not the same as the life of a big shot that I imagined. Which big shot is as busy as a dog as us?"

He swallowed the apple in his mouth, "I'm still not as comfortable as before."

Li You was drinking tea. He always found Ding Qing's complaints very interesting, especially when paired with Ding Qing's tone, "Do you want to go back to the past?"

"If I had to choose, I would definitely not go back. It's tiring now, but it's much more stable and peaceful."

Ding Qing finished his apple in a few bites and threw the core into the trash can. "Luckily, I still have Zicheng and Shi Wu to help me."

He took a sip of tea and said, "I have recently selected a few secretaries. You have good taste. Remember to help me check them out when you come back."

"Shi Wu?" Li You paused, "How is he doing?"

"It's just average, far from Zicheng."

Li You could confront Li Zicheng directly, but Li Zicheng obviously hasn't realized it yet, and he prefers that peaceful life compared to his current one.

"Pay attention."

Li You's words almost made it clear that Li Zicheng regarded Ding Qing as a brother, and Ding Qing also regarded Li Zicheng as his real brother. It was difficult for him to reveal this, but it didn't matter to Shi Wu, the little undercover.

Ding Qing is not stupid. Of course he could hear something else in Li You's words. "Shi Wu?"

He knew that Li You had some power in the government, but Shi Wu.
Ding Qing, who might have made some profit tonight, suddenly lost interest and the smile on his face disappeared.

He thought for a while, and reached out to grab his clothes, but was held down by Li You, "Don't be impatient."

Li You sighed, "Even if he is, he won't hurt anyone tonight, why are you so anxious?"

Ding Qing moved his lips a few times, and finally sat down sullenly, "I was wrong."

He recalled Shi Wu's behavior just now, and there was indeed something wrong, but he would have to go back and investigate the matter to know whether it was true or not.

"If so, what would you do?"

"Of course we throw it into the sea to feed the fish," Ding Qing waved his hand, "What else can we do?"

Li You shook his head. "It's better to stay here. A transparent undercover agent is worse than the police putting more people in there."

"If you take action now, it will be equivalent to announcing to the police that their mission has failed."

Ding Qing narrowed his eyes and nodded heavily, "I understand. I will go back and discuss it with Zicheng."

If Li You remembered correctly, Shi Wu was the undercover sent by Section Chief Jiang to monitor Li Zicheng, the big undercover. He was looking forward to Li Zicheng's reaction when he found out.
