Korean TV series: King of Peninsula 1997

Chapter 201: A Prosperous Alliance
Mou Zhengxiong felt more and more satisfied, but also a little worried. It was no exaggeration to say that the power in the hands of Li You was stronger than that of Xiancheng Daily Group.

Fortunately, his daughter met him early, but he didn’t know how many beautiful flowers would be waiting for Li You in the future.

Mou Zhengxiong would never think that Li You would be satisfied with just Mou Xianmin. After all, he himself has a lover outside, not to mention Li You who will be much stronger than him in the future.

Mou Xianmin sat quietly on the sofa at the back with her head down. She no longer had the brightness she had just now and was thinking about things in a daze.

Only when she felt Li You holding her hand did Mou Xianmin raise her head. Looking at Li You who was still talking and laughing with Mou Zhengxiong, Mou Xianmin felt a little relieved.

Li You naturally noticed that Mou Xianmin's current state was not right, which was completely inconsistent with her previous state. He was still talking to Mou Zhengxiong on his face, but after thinking about it in his heart, he understood something.

Is Mou Xianmin worried now?

Perhaps because the engagement day was approaching, Mou Xianmin no longer had the calculating feeling that she had when they first met.
Perhaps it was because Li You protected her so well that she really became a little woman next to Li You.

He interrupted deliberately, "I'll be out soon, I have to give a toast to my uncle."

Li You winked at Mou Xianmin who was standing beside him, "Look how well Xianmin is raised by his uncle and aunt."

Mou Zhengxiong was stunned, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, "You two..."

His eyes were fixed on Mou Xianmin, who was standing next to Li You, and he suddenly felt that there was something wrong in the way he and his wife had educated Mou Xianmin.

Mou Xianmin seemed to have this sense of dependence only when she was a child and was with them.

Now Li You is almost... No, it should be said that he is already a hero in Seoul.

Not to mention the Kinmen Group, just talking about Kinmen Real Estate, it has been gaining more and more momentum recently. Real estate projects in various parts of Seoul are being launched in full swing, and there are also large-scale projects in cooperation with the Seoul Municipal Government.

In just two years, Li You was like a big tree, with roots growing deeper and deeper, and his strength and influence growing stronger and stronger.

If Li You is given a few more years to develop, it is hard to imagine what level he can reach.

If he had a son-in-law who was the chairman of a chaebol in the future, Mou Zhengxiong felt that his life seemed to have reached its peak.

It seems that these were also the reasons why Chen Xingjun was chosen as a candidate for Mou Xianmin?

It’s just that Mou Xianmin had a better vision and chose Li You, who was still a little-known figure at the time.

Mou Zhengxiong's thoughts were gently brought back by the edge of a document.

His gaze lingered on the faces of the two people opposite him for a moment, "Then I will wait for you two to arrive together and then I will announce to all the guests the news of your engagement at the end of the year."

"Okay," Li You smiled and gently squeezed Mou Xianmin's hand.

"Oh, right," Mou Zhengxiong flipped open the document he had just touched, took out one of them, and slid his fingertips across pages of detailed analysis reports. "This is the Xiancheng Daily team's recent analysis report on Taowu Delivery."

He nodded in admiration. "Once the Internet becomes fully popularized, this method will be much more convenient and faster than ordinary delivery."

Li You smiled and asked, "Uncle, do you know anything about smartphones?"

Upon hearing this, Mou Zhengxiong frowned slightly and tried hard to search for some information about smartphones from the corners of his memory.

"Smartphones. I have heard about them. There are some smart phones released abroad. As for China..." He pondered for a moment, "Shunyang Group is rumored to be planning to establish Shunyang Electronics. Maybe they have also set their sights on this field."

"Shun Yang's semiconductors are already strong, and smartphones cannot do without them," Li You nodded, with a sharp look in his eyes. "In the 1980s, Chen Yangzhe seized the golden opportunity of the semiconductor industry and established Shun Yang Semiconductor. Now it is one of the most popular companies in the eyes of Tian Xia Group and Daying Group."

He sighed in his heart that although Shunyang Semiconductor was strong, it failed to demonstrate strong dominance in the 1990s like Samsung Semiconductor in its previous life.

The reason is simply that they started late and missed the best opportunity for growth.

Perhaps it is because Suntech Semiconductor was only established in 1984, ten years later than its predecessor Samsung Semiconductor.

If Shun Yang Semiconductor could have made its plans ten years in advance, then even if Chen Yangzhe died suddenly now, it would not affect Shun Yang's position as the number one chaebol.

Mou Zhengxiong heard the hidden meaning in Li You's words. He looked at Li You in surprise and asked, "Do you also have ideas about Shunyang Semiconductor?"

"Who doesn't want it?" Li You asked back.

After thinking for a while, Mou Zhengxiong glanced at a name on the document. He looked up with some surprise and asked, "Is this the reason why you recruited Chen Daojun?"

"One of the reasons," Li You nodded with a smile, "After all, he is Chen Yangzhe's most favored grandson. We have to leave something for him anyway."

Mou Zhengxiong raised his eyebrows. "Those people in the Chen family don't have much vision. If Chen Yangzhe announced one of them as the heir and let Chen Daojun inherit Shunyang Semiconductor, maybe they would be happy for a while."

Li You pointed at Chen Daojun on the document and said, "Chen Yangzhe is also making preparations for both situations. He threw Chen Daojun to my side. In case Shunyang is defeated by Daying Group and Tianxia Group, he is also counting on me to help Chen Daojun rebuild Shunyang after I gain momentum. So he must leave something for Chen Daojun as capital."

"If Chen Rongji and his team really create a miracle, we must leave something for Chen Daojun."

Li You leaned back and said, "I will convince Chen Daojun to ask Chen Yangzhe for Shunyang Semiconductor."

Thinking of what Chen Daojun had told him, Li You laughed instead, "Chen Yangzhe will definitely give it, because it was Chen Daojun who strengthened Chen Yangzhe's determination to establish Shunyang Semiconductor."

"Then there are smartphones," Li You returned to the topic. "Take food delivery as an example. Now, phone orders are based on flyers received when passing by those stores, or they are from stores that you often visit."

"But smartphones can completely upgrade this method. With the Internet, people can see pictures of those things on their phones while sitting at home."

"What if the photo is not the same as the real thing?" Mou Xianmin sat next to Li You, "Will it be affected by these details?" "That's none of our business," Li You narrowed his eyes, "We are just a delivery platform, not a catering business. When the time comes, we can just give the right to upload the pictures to those stores."

He smiled nonchalantly, "We can let those customers comment on the merchant's online store. If the pictures don't match the real thing, naturally someone will argue."

"Of course it's the store that's to blame if the goods are bad, who would blame the hard-working deliveryman? The deliveryman just needs to deliver the goods on time."

As the night deepens, the lights in the conference room appear particularly soft.

After finishing some business topics, Mou Zhengxiong calmly reminded Li You, "Recently, your Jiangnan Security has caused quite a stir in the industry. It is well-known, and even people outside of my industry have heard of it."

Li You raised his eyebrows, a faint smile on his lips, "I hope it's a good reputation."

"Of course," Mou Zhengxiong said meaningfully, with a look of both approval and warning in his eyes, "You should be more careful and don't be too ostentatious."

The only things that can attract attention for Jiangnan Security are the retired veterans under Zheng Zhong. Recruiting these elites on a large scale will naturally attract attention.

But Li You just nodded slightly, "Jiangnan Security is doing legitimate business, I know that."

"Recently, some people in both the Procuratorate and the Police have been targeting the Kinmen Group, hoping to use it to gain meritorious service. Some are also secretly shooting at them. Even Ding Qing was shot in his own territory, and they are still searching the streets for him."

"I always need some solid backing," Li You said with a calm smile, "These people were recommended to me by an elder in the army."

Mou Zhengxiong looked at Li You steadily, "Since the elders are guaranteeing it, there will be no problem. This will also help them find a good job."

"Actually, I have an idea," Li You smiled. "After all, we are in South Korea now, and the demand for security is not that great. Maybe we can recruit retired military personnel from all over the world in the future."

Li You had the impression that Blackwater, one of the three largest private security companies that would cooperate with the U.S. State Department, had only started operations last year, in 1998.

Blackwater will also be the largest private military contractor in the future.

However, Gangnam Security obviously cannot rely on the South Korean military to develop to that level. They have a large number of retired American military personnel and even retired special forces as their base. Whether in terms of combat effectiveness or numbers, South Korea is far behind.

Li You hopes that in the future, Jiangnan Security will be able to build a legion of his own by recruiting elite retired military personnel from around the world.

Mou Zhengxiong said meaningfully, "You are now a chess player, and I look forward to the completion of your plan."

He said calmly, "Those people are right to be wary and scrutinize you, because they are always afraid that you will do something more outrageous."

Li You laughed, "Uncle, do you think what I'm doing is out of line?"

"Out of line," Mou Zhengxiong nodded, "especially what you just said. If outsiders heard this, they would report it to the government the next day."

Mou Zhengxiong felt emotional, thinking that his future son-in-law seemed to be obsessed with setting rules for the Korean Peninsula in the future.

"But that doesn't matter. As long as the benefits are sufficient, who cares if you do something out of line?"

He sighed, "The benefits you bring to those people now are those who share your success. Who would care whether you do something extraordinary? If doing something extraordinary can bring benefits, they would like you to do it extraordinary."

Mou Zhengxiong said solemnly: "You and I will prosper together now. The stronger you become in the future, the better it will be for me and me."

“I look forward to you expanding these people to the entire Korean Peninsula in the future.”

Mou Xianmin scratched Li You's palm with his fingers, "I'm looking forward to it too."

Li You shook Mou Xianmin's hand vigorously, his face as confident as ever.

When the time came, the three of them came to the hall where the dinner was held.

The brightly lit and magnificent banquet hall sparkled with the luxury and splendor unique to the upper class.

Some professional women attending the dinner were dressed in evening gowns, moving among the crowd, their laughter and the air filled with the fragrance of high-end perfume.

A slight commotion quietly spread from a corner of the banquet hall.

As the host of the dinner, Mou Zhengxiong was naturally surrounded by some guests who were nearby as soon as he appeared.

Mou Zhengxiong nodded to Li You and the others, and communicated with the guests who came over. Given Mou Zhengxiong's character, since he did not introduce these people to Li You and the others, it was natural that these people were not people who could bring any benefits.

Mou Xianmin's words also confirmed this. She winked at Li You and said, "Those people are just brokers who rely on attending banquets to increase their connections. They bring very few resources and are almost useless to you."

Li You picked up a glass of wine from the table next to him and sipped it. "What happened to you in there just now? Were you worried or scared?"

"I'm not afraid." Mou Xianmin's voice was very light, "I just think that you can't always put yourself in danger."

"I know you are in good health and very powerful," Mou Xianmin looked into his eyes, "but you won't win every time. Just like you said before, no matter how powerful you are, you can't resist a bullet."

Li You finished the wine in the glass, put the glass on a table, and smiled at Mou Xianmin, "I know."

Although he didn't know how to explain to Mou Xianmin that he was not afraid of a single bullet, he was only afraid of a circle of bullets with no blind spots, but Mou Xianmin was still thinking about him after all.

"I won't put myself in danger," Li You smiled at her, "I value my life very much"

Especially after dying once, Li You did not say this half of the sentence.
