Korean TV series: King of Peninsula 1997

Chapter 220 Millennium

Li You and Mou Xianmin gently held hands at the edge of the stage. Following the guidance of the emcee, they slowly walked onto the stage, each step light and solemn.

The guests also gave them prolonged applause.

The following process is also very simple. As usual, you need to express your gratitude and thank your friends and relatives.

When Li You slowly put the engagement ring on Mou Xianmin's finger and then they kissed each other, the guests stood up and applauded and cheered.

Several of Li You's confidants sat at a table next to the Kinmen Group. Under Ding Qing's instigation, they played the role of creating an atmosphere at this time.

Everything is lively and harmonious.

Suddenly, the new century is coming.

The turbulent 1990s are finally coming to an end.

December 1999, 12, 31: p.m.

At the end of the year, Li You misunderstood one thing, which was a common sense mistake. He thought that the ancestor worship of the Li family in Quanzhou was based on the Gregorian calendar.

But when he called Li Zeyi at the end of the year, he remembered that under the influence of its colonial master, South Korea has always celebrated the Chinese New Year.

The ancestor worship ceremony is to be held on the Spring Festival, which is nearly two months away.

Tonight is New Year's Eve, but Li You did not go home. Instead, he stood on the top floor of Golden Gate Real Estate, watching the fireworks starting to set off outside.

The city skyline was decorated with dazzling fireworks. Li You stood in front of the spacious floor-to-ceiling window, his figure silhouetted by the light reflected in the window.

The noise of the crowd was isolated outside the glass. The moment the fireworks bloomed, the light penetrated the night and also illuminated Li You. The wine glass in his hand shook gently, reflecting the neon lights in the distance, the light flowed, crystal clear.

A lot of things have happened in the more than one month since we got engaged.

The Grand National Party was going to elect a new party leader and prepare for the presidential election in 2002, so Li Lianchang sent someone to visit them privately.

I hope Lee Woo can lend a hand at the critical moment, at least to help Lee Lianchang consolidate his position as the leader of the Grand National Party.

Li You naturally agreed to participate in the presidential election. With Li You's current strength, it was indeed difficult for him to do so.

But his current abilities can still be of great help in consolidating his position as party leader.

Choi Changdi was a smart man. Between President Kim and Li Lianchang, he chose to stay out of the matter and continued to work hard to improve his political achievements.

Kinmen Real Estate has completed the construction of several communities, and as the Lunar New Year is approaching, it has launched a Spring Festival promotion with generous discounts.

In fact, they first adjusted the price upwards and then gave discounts to "family members". After several operations, Kinmen Real Estate made a lot of money.

Fortunately, the quality of the house is excellent and it is indeed a well-built house, and there are no negative reviews.

However, some competitors who wanted to trip up the company secretly became obedient after being invited by Jeon Jae-jun and Jung Jae-joong to drink a few cups of tea.

Kinmen Entertainment is developing even more rapidly, especially after having SM Entertainment as a partner. Kinmen Entertainment's idol groups, as well as the songs and TV dramas it is preparing to release, are all of good quality.

Coupled with the media companies and TV stations under Li You, these works will get a lot of exposure once they are released. It is hard for any artist with decent quality not to become popular.

The gray industry has almost become a partnership monopoly. Li You supports Cui Douri and controls 70% of the nightclub business in Seoul.

There are indeed many people who are not convinced, but among this group of people, those without backing were easily defeated, and those with backing were also completely convinced by the financial offensive.

These industries were opened to make money. Since Li You could bring them more by integrating these gray industries, these people had no reason to refuse.

After expanding in scale, these industries have even gradually begun to become formal businesses.

Real estate, entertainment, and gray business, these three areas finally began to take off, bringing Li You almost endless money.

At Li You's suggestion, Xu Zhonglie ran the smuggling business in Lishui in an orderly manner. He finally took off his flashy leather jacket and put on a somewhat restrictive suit.

Xu Zhonglie also cooperated with Incheon. Ding Qing's smuggling business has become more procedural these days. Li You and Ding Qing went to Incheon one day.

This assembly line purchasing model is no different from regular imports.

There is also a security company that is extremely important in Li You’s future plans. He has now registered one overseas, but it is still an empty shell and Li You’s plan has not been officially launched.

Currently, the security companies on the Korean Peninsula are still too weak, and there are not enough regular retired soldiers to be qualified to carry out those tasks. They still need Yoon Ji-jun's support.

When the scale is sufficient, Li You will transfer this group of people away, leaving Quan Zaijun's men on the Korean Peninsula as a knife in his hand.

The clock struck midnight in the sky above Seoul. The first day of the first month of 2000 began here.

There is a reason why some people did not choose to go home on New Year's Eve.

Real power cannot be achieved by simply being a hands-off boss. Even with the guarantee of entries, it is necessary to constantly win over the hearts and minds of the people.

When Li You arrived outside the box, two rows of neatly dressed men in black suits stood solemnly, truly reflecting Li You's power as the core of a behemoth.

In the box, some people under Li You's command who had not seen each other for a long time were discussing something in a low voice, sometimes chuckling softly, but the heroic laughter they had at the beginning was gone.

Until they heard the uniform "President Nim" from outside, they quieted down, stood up quietly with smiles on their faces, and waited for Li You to come in.

Li You would naturally not be stingy. For example, he would not treat those men in black suits standing outside on duty unfairly.

When Li You brought An Sangjiu and Yin Xuanyou into the box, he was greeted with the same uniform shouts.

"President nim!"

Looking at the solemn people in the box, Li You smiled softly, "Why are you all standing? Sit down when you need to."

Although they said that, they still waited respectfully until Li You sat down before they each found a seat to sit down.

Li You sat down and tugged at the collar of his shirt. "Another year has passed. I don't feel like giving any more nonsense speeches. Let's get down to business. We won't talk about business today."

The confidants below all laughed, especially Cui Douri, who laughed the most happily, "President, we keep seeing you giving speeches on stage this year, and we all want to know what it feels like to give a speech on stage?"

"Go on stage and give a speech?" Li Youzhen stopped what he was about to say and answered this question. "It's probably just a few polite words, thanking the people around you, and then saying something against your will."

Everyone in the box started laughing. Li You narrowed his eyes and said, "Whoever laughs again will be asked to go on stage and give a speech in the future."

The confidants present included Choi Doo-il, Seo Jong-ryul, Yong Dae and others, plus Lee You, a total of nine people.

But among these nine people, there is not a single college student, and there are even two guys who dropped out of junior high school.

Let them fight and kill, or even run business, but it will be very difficult for them to give a serious speech on stage.
In addition to Yoon Hyun-woo, many of Li You's manuscripts were written by Yoon Hyun-woo, who knows how to give speeches.

"No, President Nim," Cui Douri laughed awkwardly, "I would rather kill two people than go up and give a flowery speech."

Li You understood that most of those present were militant types, so he naturally wouldn't let them go up and lose points.

"Recently, the foreign forces have been a little dishonest," Li You said lazily, "I will provide security from Jiangnan and assign people to your subordinates. If you encounter anyone who gets in the way, you can fight them like before."

"They want to make enemies with us, so we make them more serious and let them know the pain."

"President Nim," Choi Doo-il's eyes lit up, "Are you trying to regain control of the underground discourse?"

"What do you mean by 'restarting'?" Li You smiled. "We have always had it in our hands. I just want to expand our say."

Li You looked at Xu Zhonglie, "How is the smuggling business in Incheon?"

Xu Zhonglie responded quickly, "Director Li Zicheng handled it very well. Now there are almost no officials on the board who are clamoring for expansion."

"You've done something like this, and you're still afraid of the officials?" Li You waved his hand. "Zicheng is sometimes soft-hearted. If there are any more people looking for trouble, you will be responsible for sending them into the sea, so that those who like to jump can taste the saltiness of the sea water."

Even in a suit, Xu Zhonglie still had the desperado temperament when he grinned, "No problem, President-nim."

“Look,” Li You smiled and gestured to Xu Zhonglie with his thumb, “Even if he’s wearing a suit, Zhonglie still gets so excited when it comes to this kind of thing.”

Everyone in the room burst into laughter. After a few jokes, Li Yougang came in and the awkward atmosphere caused by the class disappeared.

They are all straightforward people who came from the underworld. At the beginning, they suppressed themselves and tried to learn how to deal with the powerful, but in the end they couldn't learn it.

Li You waved his hand and said with their smiling faces, "Since the formation of Kinmen as a group company, I know you are not used to it."

The people in the box were stunned, but Li You laughed, "I don't ask you to adapt. Didn't you hear what I said above?"

"I want to continue to expand the underground discourse power. Since ancient times, pure white and pure black have died or been buried. I don't want that to happen."

"I'll give you a chance to make your choice when the time comes," Li You looked around, "If you want to be the boss again, I'll allow you to... I'll give you enough manpower. If you want to continue to develop in the white way, it's up to you."

The faces of the people present all showed some joy. Cui Dou Ri raised his glass and said, "A toast to Big Brother!"

"A toast to Big Brother!"
