Korean TV series: King of Peninsula 1997

Chapter 462 Where is the Opportunity
What Li You controls can barely be considered two-fifths of Shunyang Group's assets.

But that is just industry. The most important thing for Shun Yang Group now is the Shun Yang Commodities shares that represent Shun Yang’s inheritance rights. Most of them are now in the hands of Chen Dongji and Chen Rongji.

Li You looked at Li Mingxue, who was still sitting opposite Li You calmly, just like he had just told him a trivial matter.

This is Li Mingxue's way of showing his loyalty.

Having been Chen Yangzhe's confidant for nearly 30 years, Li You knew without a doubt that Li Mingxue was definitely not a simple guy.

Besides, even if it was Shunyang, Li Mingxue's loyalty was only to Chen Yangzhe.

Chen Rongji and Chen Dongji? Not familiar with them.

Li You also became serious. It was time for him to show his importance.

He opened the document and looked at it slowly.

Li Mingxue was as calm as a statue, sitting in his original position without moving, and no one knew what he was thinking.

As Li You was reading, he caught a glimpse of Li Mingxue's serious expression and suddenly asked, "Looking back now, what do you think of Shunyang's two-and-a-half-year-long fight for the throne?"

Li Mingxue's face was much thinner than a few years ago. He lowered his eyes and said, "All the good and bad things come from the president."

Of course he was talking about Chen Yangzhe back then, but it was not a compliment, there was quite a bit of resentment hidden in it.

Li You raised his eyebrows, lowered his head and said, "That's right, but Chairman Chen was so powerful at that time that both presidents were wary of him and afraid that Shunyang would expand further. Chairman Chen is not wrong."

Li Mingxue chuckled, "President Chen also mentioned you."

Hearing this, Li You looked up with some curiosity. He really wanted to hear Chen Yangzhe's evaluation. "What did he say?"

"Li You is a total detriment to Shunyang, and has no benefit at all."

"." Li You laughed in silence, shook his head and sighed.

Li Mingxue lowered his head again and remained silent, and Chen Yangzhe's face suddenly appeared in his mind.

The president seemed inexplicably relaxed.

Previously, his loyalty to Chen Yangzhe overwhelmed those negative emotions, but after Chen Yangzhe's death, these emotions began to haunt Li Mingxue.

Today, Li Mingxue handed the thing in his hand, which might be a stab to Shunyang's heart, to Li You. He felt as if he had been enlightened. He felt much more relaxed all over, without any psychological burden and a lot less pressure.

What Li Mingxue wants to do more now is to do a good job in his campaign.

However, Li Mingxue was silent for a while, and then he spoke again, "He always felt that President Li would be Shunyang"

"No," Li Mingxue shook his head, "It should be the chaebol groups whose leaders are getting old. Chairman Li will be their terminator."

"Terminator." Li You turned the page and sighed in his heart.

The current power has temporarily expanded to its limit.

The underground forces have spread across the entire Korean Peninsula and are also growing rapidly in business.

Future Electronics' semiconductors and mobile phones have begun to go global with the help of the World Cup. It should be said that its semiconductors and some high-tech technologies are already world-class, and now its mobile phones have also reached a higher level. It is no longer just a mobile phone brand on the Korean Peninsula.

Kinmen real estate is also good. The real estate industry is booming now and is also a pillar industry on the Korean Peninsula. Even with soaring housing and land prices, there are still many buyers.

Real estate speculators, scalpers, and citizens who want to live better are all pursuing high-quality properties.

Ding Qing is in charge of the Kinmen trade, and the mining industry in Suriname is still in progress and cannot be transferred to Li You in a short time.

Li You's recent investments are all long-term investments, and no returns or increases can be seen in the short term.

From now on, we will have to engage in a protracted war with Daying and Tianxia Group.

He really wants to put an end to Daying Group and Tianxia Group, but the reality is very difficult, and Li You has to wait for the right time.

"Then you have to work hard," Li You said directly, "If you want to achieve this, you need a lot of people to work together."

Li Mingxue nodded gently and continued, "In the beginning, President Chen always felt that Chen Daojun was too close to you and repeatedly tried to sever the relationship between him and you. Although he was optimistic about his grandson, he didn't think he could beat you."

"Why does it sound like a compliment to me?" Li You smiled.

"Not really," Li Mingxue shook his head. "Chairman Chen also said at that time that it was not good to form a party with anyone, but he actually formed a party with Li You."

"The main reason was that although President Chen was optimistic about you at that time, you only had one Jiangnan Industry after all, which was too low-level."

"Master Daojun did this at that time, which made him very angry... and at that time the previous president had not yet stepped down and had been targeting Shunyang Group. You were also the knife of the previous president."

Li You was a little surprised. After thinking about it, he understood why Li Mingxue said that.

In the beginning, he did work for Han Jiangzhi, and Han Jiangzhi originally worked for the former president Kim Soo-sam.

Li Mingxue pondered for a while, and the two stopped talking. He watched Li You flipping through the documents in silence, somewhat absent-minded.

When I came to my senses, I heard Li You saying, "This is indeed a very precious gift."

Li Mingxue had a slight smile on his face. No matter what, anyone would value this gift from him.

This is 6% of Shunyang Commodities' shares.

The shares of Shunyang Commodities are something that has no market and its value is far beyond what its price can reflect.

"But." Li You was also a little curious, "How did you get them?"

“Who is using the rights to these shares?”

There was a reason why he asked this. Some of Shunyang Group's assets had been distributed to his children by Chen Yangzhe early on.

For example, Shunyang Securities that was originally distributed to Chen Dongji, Shunyang Shopping Mall owned by Chen Huarong, or Shunyang Hospital under the name of Chen Runji, these are all subsidiaries of Shunyang Group and were distributed to these children by Chen Yangzhe.

But most industries belong to Shunyang Group Head Office, and only the chairman of Shunyang Group can exercise management rights.

Not all of Shunyang Commodities' shares were bought by Chen Dongji and Chen Rongji. They only held those allocated to them by Chen Yangzhe.

Previously, Chen Yangzhe held 51% of the shares and had absolute control over Shunyang Group. After his death, the shares were distributed to Chen Rongji and Chen Dongji according to the number of shares previously held by them. Now Chen Rongji and Chen Dongji each hold 60%, totaling 60%.

The two of them together are the chairman of Shunyang Group.

And the remaining ones were distributed among many people.

Including Chen Huarong who remains neutral now, Chen Xingjun and Chen Yijun from the third generation of Shunyang, and many senior executives of Shunyang Group.

They will each take sides and use the rights of the stocks in their hands to give to the people they support. For such a long time, the power of both sides in Shunyang Group has always been almost the same, and no one can become the real chairman.

Every time there is a change in the group's industries, the two of them have a heated argument at the headquarters.

It is precisely because of this absolutely equal distribution before Chen Yangzhe's death that Shunyang Group has never been able to have a real chairman.

At this time, Li Mingxue suddenly took out the stock transfer book of 6% of Shunyang Commodities, which made Li You a little confused.
Unless Li Mingxue is apparently the strongest deputy of the old president Chen Yangzhe, and has worked hard without any complaints for many years.

But in fact, Li Mingxue had already had the intention of subversion. When dealing with the will, he did not follow Chen Yangzhe's instructions to transfer all the stocks, but kept the 6% of the stocks privately.

Li You waved his hand and did not ask any more questions. "I can almost guess why you left these behind. Although I don't know the specific reason, you must have your own reasons."

Li Mingxue smiled bitterly. He hadn't used the money for such a long time, nor had he gone to the group to collect the profits, because he was afraid that he would be dug out. Of course, he didn't want to tell the reason.

In fact, it is probably not much different from what Li You guessed.

Li Mingxue dropped out of school at the age of seventeen and followed Chen Yangzhe. For many years, he was always regarded as an adopted son by Chen Yangzhe.

But as she got older, she was still just a secretary, working diligently every day, getting up earlier than Shunyang Zhengxinzhai's dog and going to bed later than anyone else.

Having done this kind of work for more than 20 years, Li Mingxue was of course dissatisfied. He had always been secretly dissatisfied with the situation where he was excluded from power just because he was not of the Chen family despite his outstanding abilities.

It’s not that Li Mingxue must enter Shunyang’s power center, but Chen Yangzhe did not give him any power at all except for letting him do secretary work.

This is what he was dissatisfied with. Li Mingxue was already over 40 years old and could not go on like this.

So when Chen Yangzhe was not clear-headed, he privately embezzled public funds to buy Shunyang Commodities stocks.

It is worth mentioning that although he did not have any power, Chen Yangzhe really gave him everything to do.

He also helped Chen Yangzhe design this inheritance system.

Li Mingxue bought the shares of Shunyang Commodities, which had an inheritance system he designed himself.

He set up the system himself, so he definitely knows best how to play it.

Originally, if Chen Yangzhe had not wanted to destroy Shunyang himself, but had inherited it seriously, he would have thought of turning the tables and becoming the master. With his level and the levels of Chen Rongji and Chen Dongji, these two people combined would not be able to beat him.

As a result, after Chen Yangzhe was assassinated by his wife and son, he figured it out at the last moment of his life. He decided to leave a legacy in this "absolutely fair" way in order to get rid of the Tianxia Group and the Daying Group and turn Shunyang into a battlefield.

Li Mingxue knew that he could not compete with either side, so he took advantage of Li You's invitation, stepped into the official path, became an official in Seoul, hid himself and waited for the opportunity.

Now is the time. He knows that Li You will not abandon someone after his time has come. He is the same person as Chen Yangzhe, but he can see further.

So this time he offered the Shunyang Commodities stocks that he had privately kept two years ago as a token of his surrender to Li You.

"I accept it," Li You signed his name directly on the transfer agreement.

The transferor was not Li Mingxue, and he certainly would not keep these stocks in his own name. Instead, he used shell companies within shell companies, and several chain scams ended up with a dead person.

If someone brings up this dead person to make trouble, Li Mingxue, as the trustee of the estate, will take out the dead person's will.

Li You smiled and extended his hand to him, "It's a pleasure to work with you, Mayor Li."

For the first time, Li Mingxue's serious face showed a bright smile, "It's a pleasure to cooperate with you, President Nim."

Li Youmo, who was standing behind Li You, had her brain racing in the midst of this long silence and roundabout riddles, but even so, she didn't know the causes and consequences of many things, so she couldn't understand what they were talking about.

Li You handed her the transfer documents, and she almost dropped it in her daze.

"Focus," Li You patted her.

The two walked away from the backstage of the speech and talked about the candidates in the presidential election later this year.

Now as a member of the Grand National Party, Lee Myung-hak of course supports Lee Lian-chang, and the two also focused on Roh Moo-hyun.

This person's philosophy carries a kind of.
Very clear and beautiful.

His philosophy is participatory government, which means he wants to build a democracy that coexists with the people and a society that coexists and develops in a balanced manner with the people, and he will call on all citizens to participate in this national affairs.

Simply put, he wants to get all citizens involved in politics.

Li You has also talked about his ideas with others before.

For example, in previous governments, the ruling party has always been a subordinate agency of the Blue House, but Roh Moo-hyun proposed to give the ruling party autonomy, which is one of the reasons why the Millennium Democratic Party is willing to support this grassroots congressman.

He even had to give up control over the five ministries and commissions that have always been considered the most important means of ruling as the supreme leader of the Korean Peninsula, namely the Ministry of Justice, the National Intelligence Service, the Prosecutors' Office, the National Police Agency, and the Blue House.

It's hard to imagine that someone could be so abstract.

It is precisely because he is so abstract that he actually did this after he came to power in his previous life, which leads to a problem.
When future presidents want to take back their control, they won’t be able to do so.

The future Commander Yoon, the most affectionate commander on the Korean Peninsula, must be very annoyed. If he had as much power as Kim Min-jung does now, the operation in front of the National Assembly building would definitely not have failed.

Today, senior officials on the Korean Peninsula still think that Congressman Roh is joking and that he will not give up so many rights when he becomes president. Little do they know that he will actually do so, and that future presidents will face greater restrictions with each term.

Even Congressman Roh's grandest wish is to break up the Korean economic system dominated by chaebols.

But in reality, no one can do it.

This is really just wishful thinking.

Because the Korean economy dominated by large companies, or chaebols, is the only option for South Korea.

The country has a small area, is mountainous and hilly, and has scarce natural resources.

Moreover, most of the mineral resources in the entire peninsula are located in the north and have nothing to do with the south.

This is also the reason why Li You attaches so much importance to Suriname. Whether it is oil, natural gas, or other categories, there are real mines there.

The inherent condition here is that it is a wasteland.

Under normal circumstances, it is difficult to develop to the economic level of the Philippines.

Moreover, there are countless countries that are America's subordinates, but among them, there are really only a few that can develop from a poor and backward country into an economically developed country.

Therefore, the Han River Miracle led by Park Kaka was indeed a miracle. It was able to develop from a wasteland into an economically developed country, which can be called a loser's counterattack.

The most important thing is to maintain the international competitiveness of Korean Peninsula companies by having large enterprises dominate the domestic economy. This is why Park Kaka supported the chaebols.

This is the only correct option available to those in power, and the formation of chaebols is inevitable in South Korea.

Li You saw it very clearly, and Jin Minzhong also saw it very clearly, so he allowed Li You to develop recklessly.

Anyway, there are so many chaebols, so just one or two won't make a difference. More chaebols can help develop the domestic economy and compete with other chaebols, so that no one will dominate the market.

Unifying the underground forces would actually be a good thing for the Korean Peninsula today.

In the past, if a small local force with no vision kidnapped a "princess master", it would be necessary to search everywhere. Now, if you do Li You a favor, you can find him at any time.

Even with Lee Yoo-il's expansion, the level of public security on the Korean Peninsula has risen.

Li Mingxue also knows it, and everyone knows it.
