Korean TV series: King of Peninsula 1997

Chapter 287
After giving Jiang Zhentai more than half an hour of ideological education, Jiang Zhentai's wife could only shake her head helplessly. Knowing that there was no turning point in this matter, she sighed, and the worry and reluctance in her eyes turned into a deep sigh.

The task was taken over by Jiang Zhentai. Now that the task has fallen on Jiang Zhentai's shoulders and is already underway, it is a responsibility that cannot be easily shirked. Any further obstruction will affect him instead.

Jiang Zhentai's wife stood up and walked towards Lin Zheling with heavy steps. She approached Lin Zheling to talk with a pleading light in her eyes, "Detective Lin, please go with him and take care of him."

She begged Lin Zheling, hoping that they could complete the task safely.

When Lin Zheling heard this, a hint of gentleness flashed in his eyes and he nodded solemnly. Although he did not make any verbal promise, she still felt relieved.

Lin Zheling and Jiang Zhentai went out quietly. On the way to the car, Lin Zheling glanced at Jiang Zhentai many times without leaving a trace.

Jiang Zhentai noticed it and smiled bitterly, "What's wrong with that look in your eyes?"

"Nothing," Lin Zheling hesitated and finally shook his head.

"Stop laughing at me in your heart," Jiang Zhentai said dissatisfiedly, "Su Yan is not happy for me to go on the mission, and it is also for my safety."

Lin Zheling did not refute, but nodded silently, "I know."

If his wife were still alive, she might think the same.

The two got in the car, and just as Jiang Zhentai started the car, his cell phone rang suddenly.

"Jack," Jiang Zhentai answered the phone. Jack's voice came from the other end. Jiang Zhentai asked, "Is the suspect awake?"

"No," Jack was sitting in the ward, not going anywhere. "I just talked to President Li on the phone, and I think it would be better for you to go over and discuss the mission with President Li."

Jiang Zhentai frowned slightly when he heard this, but then relaxed again, "."

"This will also allow the people from the Kinmen Group to help us," Jack said helplessly, "You also saw the appearance of those policemen in Pochuan City during the day. It is obvious that their superiors have warned them not to help us. Even if they need to cooperate on the surface, as long as they do not put in effort, we will still be the ones who suffer."

"I see," Jiang Zhentai nodded, "Where can we go to meet Chairman Li?"

Jack gave an address and said, "Wait outside for a while. President Li has an appointment. You can go in after his guests leave."

"How do we know whether Chairman Li's guests have left?" Jiang Zhentai's eyes were a little confused.

"Hasn't Detective Jiang seen the way big shots leave?"

After hearing what Jack said, Jiang Zhentai understood, and the two drove to the address provided by Jack.

Jiang Zhentai and Lin Zheling naturally had no objections. They drove to their destination and parked the car at the road sign.

Jiang Zhentai was bored and suddenly asked, "In your elementary school textbook, did you really describe their family as the sun?"

Lin Zheling's expression stiffened a little, and he nodded slowly, but he couldn't help feeling a little helpless in his heart.

"Wow," Jiang Zhentai exclaimed, "I thought the article I saw was fake, but from what you said, maybe it's real?"

"What article?"

"'Throwing a Stone at a Satellite,'" Jiang Zhentai looked at Lin Zheling with sharp eyes, "When I saw this text the other day, I thought it was spread by our government to vilify you."

“I didn’t expect it to be true.”

Lin Zhering's mouth twitched a few times. He did know this text.

He was not a country bumpkin who had never seen the world. He knew how abstract the article was, but he still said stubbornly, "This text is not called this."

"But the content is the same," Jiang Zhentai laughed in the car.

"How dare you say that to me?" Lin Zheling said sarcastically, "You are a policeman, and you are being monitored by your own people while on duty. Is this the trust you get?"

"And what do you, the police officer, have the right to put criminals in jail?"

The two of them started to talk back and forth and laugh at each other, and the atmosphere in the car gradually became relaxed.

At the same time, in this high-end club, Kim Gun-young and Lee Woo's meeting is in progress.

The club was elegant and quiet, and the meeting between Kim Gun-young and Lee You seemed particularly solemn in such an environment.

The secretary was waiting quietly outside, and the noise outside seemed completely isolated from this private room.

Jin Jianying's smile revealed a subtle hint of reserve and confidence.

The air between the two seemed to freeze, filled with a subtle sense of tension.

The noise outside seemed to be completely isolated from this private room. The two men did not bring any extra people with them. There was only a secretary waiting outside the room, and Zhao Tae-seop was also in the room.

"President Jin," Li You took the lead in extending his hand and shaking hands with Jin Jianying.

When their fingertips touched, it seemed that at this moment, their relationship had made substantial progress.

"President Li," Jin Jianying said with a smile, "This is the first time we have had a formal meeting in this kind of occasion."

"It's such a pity that we couldn't meet you two sooner," Zhao Taixie said with a smile, "Presidents, let's take our seats first."

Zhao Taixie sat aside, his eyes moving back and forth between the two of them, pondering something in his mind.

After we were seated, the waiter began to serve the dishes one by one. Each dish was extremely exquisite and luxurious.

"Chairman Kim, Chairman Lee," Cho Tae-seop raised his glass first, smiling broadly, "It is such an honor to have the opportunity to sit with you two this time."

“I hope our friendship will last long in the future.”

Jin Jianying also raised his glass and smiled back, "You're welcome, Councillor Zhao. I've also been looking forward to meeting Chairman Li and you."

“I believe that with the joint efforts of the three parties, we can achieve greater results.”

Li You chuckled and interjected, his laughter hearty and echoing their words.

Three people sat around the dining table, the crisp sound of clinking glasses created ripples in the air, and with the sound of clinking glasses, the superficial harmony was considered a gesture.

The snow-white tablecloth and golden tableware reflected the light, illuminating the faces of the three people.

The three of them did not mention any business at the dinner table. They just chatted about family matters and made small talk, which did not let the atmosphere cool down.

While talking, they chatted about these so-called family matters, deliberately avoiding any official business that might touch sensitive nerves. But in fact, for these three people, what so-called family matters could they have? They were all old and rotten things.

Their smiles seem relaxed, but their eyes hide subtle calculations and deep thoughts about what the other person says.

Everyone has their own thoughts in their hearts, and no one wants to be the first to reveal a flaw in this game.

"By the way," Zhao Taixie took the initiative to speak, and he mentioned what he had said before, "what I talked about with President Li today."

"We have already contacted them," Li You said with a smile, "The prosecutors of the Southern District Prosecutors Office are also very good at imparting their experience to the younger generations, so that they can walk more steadily on their path."

He did mention the matter to Cho Chang-sik, the chief prosecutor of the Southern District Prosecutors' Office, and asked him to pass it on to Park Tae-soo and others.

Zhao Taixie was very sensible in this matter. He did not contact Zhao Changzhi on his own just because Zhao Changzhi stood on Li Lianchang's side and was in the same camp as him. Instead, he found Li You and asked him to contact him on his behalf.

"Councilman Cho can talk to him about this later," Lee Woo said enthusiastically, "Chief Prosecutor Cho has served as the Chief Prosecutor of the Central District Prosecutors Office, so he is quite capable." "Of course," Cho Tae-seop answered flawlessly, "Each prosecutor is an outstanding talent of the Republic of Korea."

He looked at Jin Jianying and said, "President Jin, what do you think?"

Jin Jianying also laughed and said, "This kind of thing will help our forces grow, why should I object?"

There was no hesitation in his words, and he just started by talking about "the power under my command".

Zhao Taixie was stunned for a moment, but then he reacted and smiled enthusiastically, "President Jin, what you said is true."

The smile on Jin Jianying's face was very gentle, which was completely different from what he said.

He continued, "I've heard about President Li before, but I've never met him. Today I'm lucky enough to meet him."

It sounds like a greeting when meeting someone, but in fact it is just a prelude to talking about things.

They had already said enough meaningless words before, and they had argued with each other for a long time. Now that Zhao Taixie had taken the lead and spoken first, Jin Jianying would not hide anything.

"Does President Li feel that Shunyang has been too quiet recently?"

The quiet Shunyang mentioned by Jin Jianying should be referring to Shunyang on Chen Rongji's side, who is their opponent.

Li You narrowed his eyes and thought carefully, then nodded slowly, "It's true that it's been different than usual lately, a little too quiet."

Jin Jianying smiled and said, "Chen Rongji and Zhu Rongyi, half of the heirs of Shunyang and the chairman of the Daying Group, are also insignificant monsters in the entire Korean Peninsula. Chairman Li doesn't want to know the reason?"

This statement seemed to have a hidden meaning. Li You smiled softly, as if nothing had happened. "President Jin, are they so quiet because of me?"

He also understood that this was probably the reason why Jin Jianying came to Li You for dinner. There must be sufficient benefits or excessive losses.

"I've been thinking about this for a long time, but I still can't make a decision," Jin Jianying was ready to explain it more clearly, "Why don't you give me some advice, President Li?"

"President Jin, please speak."

"A few days ago, do you know what Zhu Rongyi and Chen Rongji proposed to me and Chen Dongji?"

Jin Jianying smiled and glanced at Li You, "They think that both sides should stop fighting first and work together to bring down your Kinmen Group."

Li You took a sip of wine, his mood did not fluctuate too much, "President Jin is sitting here with me now, obviously he did not agree with their proposal."

"Of course," Jin Jianying waved his hand. "Of these two guys, one is tolerant but lacks foresight, while the other has foresight but is too violent."

"If we cooperate with them to cheat President Li, there's no telling what might go wrong one day."

Zhao Taixie's expression changed slightly. He really didn't know there was such a thing, but he still smiled and said, "It turns out that President Jin has something like this to say today."

Jin Jianying smiled and waved his hands. His words were filled with unquestionable confidence, a confidence based on strength and ambition. "President Li and I are now on the same front. How can I betray my friend?"

The invisible line between his words bound him and Li You tightly together, at least on the surface.

Once we are no longer on the same front, we will naturally have to take action.

Jin Jianying seemed to have foreseen the day when he would part ways with the Golden Gate Group and Li You, and at that time he would turn around and attack without hesitation.

Li You understood what he meant. Jin Jianying was a very confident man. After all, he was the one who founded the Tianxia Group personally. He could give Li You and the Kinmen Group time to grow and deal with the already huge Daying Group first.

Compared with dealing with Kinmen Group and Li You, Jin Jianying is more concerned about whether he can swallow up a part of Shunyang. He even says that how to gain the greatest benefits in future business wars is what he cares about most, and maximizing the losses of Daying Group is just a means.

"By the way," Jin Jianying began to ease the atmosphere, suddenly changing the subject, her voice full of concern, "Councilman Zhao, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but I wanted you to get married and start a family a few years ago."

"You're still dragging your feet."

Cho Tae-seop is also in his forties. He has never remarried after his ex-wife passed away. For a politician, this does help his reputation.

But this kind of help is definitely not as great as the actual help from the wife's family.

"I've introduced a lot of things to you," Jin Jianying said with a smile, "The first one I introduced to you was..."

"President Kim," Zhao Taixie sighed helplessly, his eyes revealing a trace of fatigue, "They are all too young."

"What's the problem?" Jin Jianying raised her eyebrows. "You are a politician. What you should consider most is which one of them can bring you the greatest help, not age."

As the person who helped bring Cho Tae-seop to power, Kim Gun-young believes he is qualified to speak on this matter.

Jin Jianying leaned back and said, "I am over 60 years old, my youngest daughter is only 11 years old, and her mother is only in her 30s. Is there any problem?"

He didn't really care about these things and just said them casually.

Jin Jianying's first two sons were also born to his ex-wife, not his current wife.

Zhao Taixie was speechless and could only say helplessly, "I will think about it carefully, President Jin."

"You always say the same thing," Jin Jianying snorted. He looked at Li You, "What do you think, President Li?"

Li You sighed and could only say, "This matter still depends on Councillor Zhao's choice. You have to be cautious."

"President Li is right," Jin Jianying stopped dwelling on the issue. "We are not on the same side as Chen Rongji and Zhu Rongyi. So we have to stand together to deal with them."

Li You said calmly, "I never show mercy to those who want to deal with me."

Jin Jianying went around in circles, talking about this and that, and finally said what needed to be done.

The sixty-something old man chuckled twice and said, "That's good."

"President Li should know that the core business of Daying Group is the automobile business," Jin Jianying smiled, "Before, Chen Yangzhe spent money to develop Shunyang Automobile for his dream, regardless of the cost, and competed with Zhu Rongyi."

"With Chen Yangzhe's death, Zhu Rongyi is completely without an opponent. This won't do."

Jin Jianying's face turned serious. "Our Tianxia Group has decided to acquire some automobile companies and start building Tianxia Automobile to become a rival to Daying Group."

Li You was silent.

Once Tianxia Auto comes out, Daying Group will definitely be furious. Daying Group and Tianxia Group will not just play chess on Shunyang chessboard anymore. The players may even pull each other's hair out.

Jin Jianying obviously felt that the development of the automobile industry would be in the next ten years or so, so he decided to take action to contain Daying. Otherwise, judging from the development strength of Daying Automobile during this period, Tianxia Group might not be able to sit firmly on the throne of the number one chaebol.

"What does President Jin want to do?" Li You asked seriously, "Daying Group has been making cars for decades. As far as the current situation is concerned, the quality of their products is also very good in the world."

Referring to the previous Hyundai Group, Hyundai Motor is the core enterprise of the Hyundai Group, and in 2020, Hyundai Motor ranked fourth in the world in sales.

Although the Daying Group is not that strong now, it is only limited by the times.

"We can follow the path of Kinmen," Jin Jianying smiled, "and merge with those small car dealers. We can even consider foreign ones. As long as we can buy the technology to make good cars, we can quickly occupy some market share with the reputation of Tianxia Group."

"Of course," Jin Jianying looked at Li You and said, "We still need the help of Chairman Li."
