Korean TV series: King of Peninsula 1997

Chapter 495: World in Danger
Tianxia Group held a board meeting on the same day, or while the interview was still going on.

Not only were the directors required to be present, but even higher-level management were called in to sit in.

At this moment, Jin Jianying sat in the first seat of the Tianxia Group's board of directors, his eyes were cold and stern. There was no trace of harmony on his old face, but instead it was full of surging anger. "Have you watched all the TV programs?"

"It's wrong to let the Kinmen Group, it should be said that Li You quietly took over Suriname's oil?"

Jin Jianying stared at the people standing or sitting in the conference room. If you pick any one of these people out, they are all high-ranking officials in the social system of the Korean Peninsula. Here they can only be scolded.

“Let’s find out the distribution of oil in Suriname and see if there’s any hope of getting some from the Golden Gate Group. It doesn’t matter if the price is high.”

"In Iraq and Syria, speed up the extraction and replenish our oil reserves as soon as possible," Jin Jianying rubbed his chest with one hand, feeling a little uncomfortable. "In China, keep an eye on the people in charge of these at the Kinmen Group."

"Is there a problem?"

The board of directors was indeed not very harmonious at the moment. It was not that they had any ulterior motives, or were bribed by Li You to join the Kinmen Group. After all, their relationship with the Tianxia Group was too deep, and they were not bystanders who could abandon Tianxia and escape on their own.

Even if they were sure that following Li You now might have a better future.

"Yongjun, after the meeting is over," Jin Jianying asked his eldest son who was sitting on his left, "you will be responsible for the things I said. Don't be hesitant when doing things. This is a matter that concerns the foundation of our world."

"It's father."

Jin Jianying looked through some documents, all of which were about the progress of Tianxia Automobile in recent times. He was not sure whether Tianxia could fight on two fronts between Daying and Kinmen.

"Shengjun," Jin Jianying frowned, "go visit Chairman Chen Rongji of Shunyang first to see if there is any hope for cooperation."

At this stage, he certainly still trusts his two sons the most.

Moreover, he firmly believed that no matter how much these two people did not get along with each other, they would not have any second thoughts at this time.

However, Jin Jianying looked up at the various expressions in the conference room and understood that some people would definitely feel that this approach of relying entirely on their two sons was unreliable.

Even the two vice presidents who had always been loyal to Jin Jianying looked a little strange.

After all, these are the things they usually do for Jin Jianying, but the way they do it now shows that they are somewhat distrustful of them.

The eldest son, Kim Young-jun, sat next to Kim Gun-young. Compared with his younger brother, Kim Sung-jun, his cheeks were thinner.

He was just about to speak when he saw a senior executive standing behind him in a meeting suddenly change his expression.

"Director Zhang, what's wrong?" Jin Yongjun called his name directly, "What did you see?"

Director Zhang smiled bitterly, "Representative Nim, I have asked them to send it over. It is a survey report on Suriname's oil reserves."

"So fast?" Jin Yongjun's narrow eyes were full of confusion. He repeated and urged Zhang Li to be more specific in advance, as his previous words were like a title.

Director Zhang smiled bitterly, and the employee in charge of the investigation knocked on the door and came in, respectfully handing them the documents.

The document was circulated throughout the conference room. Many directors quietly looked up at the Jin father and son and then at the document, feeling that what was happening was a bit tricky.

Given Jin Jianying's level of vigilance towards the Kinmen Group and Li You, whoever jumps out to dissuade them now will feel bad later.

Jin Jianying's expression changed. He looked around at the top executives of Tianxia Group and sighed, "It's not that I'm a maverick and must go to war with Li You. Now he wants to ride on our heads."

"If you want to protect your interests, you must cooperate well with Yongjun and Shengjun," Jin Jianying threw the document on the table, "You are all meritorious people of Tianxia Group... You are all capable people I trust. It is time for us to unite and face Li You."

Jin Jianying finally glanced at his two sons with a complicated expression, then slammed the table and said, "Hurry up and get to work. Don't waste time here!"

The members in the conference room bowed deeply and soon left.

After they left, Jin Jianying still sat at the head of the conference table. After a long while, he returned to the office and told his secretary, "Go call Councillor Zhao and ask him to come over. I need to ask him for something."

"Yes, President Nim."

Jin Jianying sat in the office, constantly making phone calls, connecting with various departments of Tianxia Group.

As long as he is in control of the overall situation, Tianxia Group will indeed be a stable chariot moving forward.

However, all oil-related businesses under Tianxia Group will inevitably fall into short-term chaos. As new big hands reach out to the oil industry on the Korean Peninsula, everyone needs to weigh the interests involved.

Generally speaking, the official oil company of the Korean Peninsula represents the official attitude, but now it seems that it does not want to offend either side, and even slightly favors the Kinmen Group.

Everyone also knew that Li You and Li Lianchang had a close relationship, so at this time they didn't dare to take sides so quickly.

As a result, after the Kinmen Group's move, many practitioners who had been forced to stand on the side of the Tianxia Group because they had no choice before, temporarily jumped out of the Tianxia Group's camp and began to remain neutral and wait and see.

But Jin Jianying can't do anything to them because these people and companies represent a large part of the market.

On the other hand, the situation at Kinmen Group is unusually calm right now.

Li You has not been seen since the interview.

All industries under Kinmen that should be operating normally are operating normally. Even several trading companies under Kinmen that are closely related to the oil industry are carrying out the purchasing and unloading of goods in full swing, as if nothing had happened.

The only thing these bigwigs on the Korean Peninsula could see was the numerous security personnel during the transportation process.

It is obvious that the entity of Kinmen Heavy Industries is in Suriname, and the Kinmen Heavy Industries here is no different from a shell company, but there are still a large number of investors in the stock market who trust it, and its stock price continues to rise.

Kim Gun-young was born in his old age. His two sons, Kim Young-jun and Kim Sung-jun, are only a little over 30 years old, while Kim Sung-jun is not even 30 years old. This is the first time in their lives that they have so much money and power in their hands.

The only drawback might be that Jin Jianying would call from time to time and control the system remotely.

In the luxurious chairman's office of Tianxia Group, Jin Jianying, wearing a dark suit and with a serious face, frowned, while his secretary sat beside him, typing quickly on the keyboard with both hands.

The secretary pulled up various data and curves on the screen on the wall, which was a comparison between Tianxia Group and Kinmen Group today.

The setting sun outside the window is as red as blood, and the clouds in the sky are filled with a tense atmosphere.

Fine beads of sweat oozed from Jin Jianying's forehead. He rubbed his temple with one hand and pointed at the screen with the other hand tremblingly, instructing his secretary.

The secretary noticed something was wrong with him and immediately looked over with concern, "President Nim, how are you?"

Jin Jianying took a deep breath and realized that something was wrong with his body. He coughed and said, "First..."

He wanted to say that he wanted to finish the last few tasks first, but his breathing began to become rapid and his face turned pale as paper.

In the end, Jin Jianying leaned forward weakly, but fortunately she was supported by her secretary in time.

The secretary was horrified. He took a few deep breaths and frantically called his private doctor. With a trembling voice, he informed him that Jin Jianying had fainted.

The private doctor is also the director of a hospital invested by Tianxia. He will secretly send the president to the hospital.

The secretary's eyes swept across the table full of unfinished business strategies, and an unspeakable anxiety surged in his heart.

The doctor arrived quickly. He examined Jin Jianying's condition with a serious expression, hurriedly injected him with an injection of medicine, and then ordered the nurse to put Jin Jianying on the wheelchair and send him to the hospital.

During the entire process, confidentiality was maintained perfectly. However, in different corners of the city, after Jin Jianying's two sons received the news, they immediately stopped all the work at hand and rushed to the hospital with uneasiness and anxiety on their faces.

Kim Jae-young had just been sent away from the parking lot, and Zhao Tae-seop got out of a car in the parking lot with his eyes slightly narrowed.

He and Jin Jianying are not 'friendly' partners.

Ten years ago, as Deputy Prosecutor General, Cho Tae-seop followed orders from the top of the Procuratorate to investigate corruption in the Cheoncheon Group, especially regarding Kim Gun-young.

Strictly speaking, it was a political reckoning because Kim Gun-young chose the wrong path in that presidential election.

Cho Tae-seop even got evidence of Kim Gun-young's corruption, which was enough to put Kim Gun-young in jail for ten years at the time.

Even though Kim Gun-young would live better than 99 percent of the people on the Korean Peninsula in there, he still didn't want to go in.

Zhao Taixie took the initiative to contact Jin Jianying, and the two sides hit it off and reached a cooperation.

The following year, Cho Tae-seop jumped out of the prosecutorial system and was successfully elected as a member of parliament. He continued to accumulate connections from his position as a member of parliament and has come to where he is today.

But now Zhao Tae-seop was keenly aware that a better opportunity had come.

However, this opportunity still depends on Jin Jianying's situation.

At the hospital, Kim Young-jun and Kim Sung-jun arrived.

Jin Yongjun lost control of his emotions and grabbed the secretary's collar, "What's going on?"

The secretary had a bitter look on her face, knowing this would happen. "It is not clear whether President Nim has a sudden illness or a flare-up of a chronic disease, but Dr. Liu said his life is not in danger."

Almost at the same time, both sons felt a trace of pity. Jin Shengjun frowned and asked the secretary in front of him, "Has the result not been checked yet? Has father woken up?"

The secretary was also a little anxious, but in front of the two people, he could only suppress it as much as possible, "The president's condition is very stable. He didn't wake up because of the medication."

He glanced at the watch on his wrist, "He'll be awake in thirty minutes."

Jin Yongjun said impatiently, "Father has been feeling unwell for the past few days. He should have been asked to come for a checkup earlier, but it took so long!"

"It can't be helped, brother," Jin Shengjun sighed, "Father has everything under his control. The competition between Tianxia Motors and Daying Motors has already kept him from leaving work, and now there's another Jinmen. Father is really too exhausted."

The two looked at each other, their eyes confirmed something. Jin Yongjun nodded, "Father is indeed too tired... He is also the kind of person who doesn't care much about his health after working." As he was talking, someone from Tianxia Group's security department came up to report, "Councilman Zhao is here."

"Councilman Zhao?" The two looked at each other and then at the secretary. "Did you tell him?"

"No," the secretary waved her hands nervously, "I have always been with the president and have never contacted Councillor Zhao."

As he was speaking, he suddenly realized, "Before the president fainted, he asked me to contact Councillor Zhao and go to the president's office to discuss something with him. Maybe he was seen?"

"Really..." Jin Yongjun wanted to curse. How could he let Zhao Taixie know this news at this time?

The key is that we can't chase him away now, otherwise Jin Jianying will beat them with slippers after waking up.

"Let him come over first," Jin Yongjun, as the eldest brother, began to give orders without paying attention to others. "Since Councillor Zhao already knows about it, let him come over first."

"But why don't we tell him that his father hasn't woken up yet?" Jin Shengjun suggested, "Just tell him that his father is still being examined."

Jin Yongjun glanced at him coldly and nodded slowly, "Okay."

When Zhao Taixie came in, he saw two people sitting on chairs in the hospital corridor, and of course the secretary who came to greet him.

"Secretary Jin," he greeted the secretary with a friendly smile and even called out the secretary's last name, which made the secretary feel a little flattered.

"Congressman Cho," Secretary Kim bowed and waited for Cho Tae-seop to come over.

"You two," Cho Tae-seop walked to the chair, while Kim Young-jun and Kim Gun-young had already stood up, "How is Chairman Kim doing now?"

"Everything is fine," Jin Yongjun sighed, "but for the sake of future health, I decided to do more tests. The results may not come out until a while."

"That's good," Zhao Taixie said with a smile on his face. He saw with his own eyes Jin Jianying, who was extremely weak sitting in a wheelchair. Of course he didn't believe that it was an ordinary illness.

"I'll wait here with you guys for Chairman Kim," Zhao Taixie said with a smile on his face. He turned to look at Secretary Kim, "Could you please buy us a cup of coffee?"

"Of course," Secretary Jin bowed and left quickly.

After sending Secretary Kim away, Zhao Taixie's face became serious. He sat opposite Kim Yongjun and Kim Sungjun, looking at the two of them without saying a word, putting great psychological pressure on them.

As a politician, it is actually quite easy for me to reach into such a huge company as Tianxia Group, but I just can't reach the key areas.

But these two people.
Zhao Taixie looked at them, thinking about something.

Although Kim Young-jun and Kim Sung-jun have some character flaws, they are both truly outstanding young people.

If they were allowed to live until they were 40 or 50 years old and use their life experiences to make up for their character flaws, any one of them could be a good candidate to take over the Tianxia Group.

But now these two people are not in their forties or fifties.

Zhao Taixie clasped his hands together and couldn't help but think of Li You again.

It’s really strange. He is also a young man, why is he different from these two?

"President Kim's incident is a warning," Zhao Taixie said slowly, without revealing any flaws. "You two should not only do your own work well, but also help the president share more things so that the president can have enough time to recover his health."

Share more things?
Kim Young-jun and Kim Sung-jun raised their heads quickly.

"After I meet with the president," Zhao Taixie's smile was still so gentle, "I will mention these things to the president. The president is getting older now, and there is a precedent with President Chen Yangzhe, so there are some things that we have to guard against."

Jin Yongjun forced a smile and nodded at Zhao Taixie, "Councilman Zhao is right, father needs to take care of his health."

"Sheng Junxi?"

Seeing Zhao Taixie asking, Jin Shengjun also smiled with some worry, "Councilman Zhao is right."

In fact, their two sons have always felt that it is time for Jin Jianying, who has monopolized all the power, to share some of it.

Although this private hospital operates normally on weekdays, it mainly serves dignitaries and nobles. Almost every chaebol will invest in a hospital like this.

When Jin Jianying was sent to this hospital, which was controlled by the Tianxia Group, the best medical conditions were immediately provided.

Jin Jianying, wearing a hospital gown, was lying on the examination instrument. A white medical patch was on the back of his hand. The thin infusion tube was like a tiny river, slowly injecting medicines and nutrients into his weak body.

When Jin Jianying slowly opened his eyes, the examination had been completed, but due to Jin Yongjun's instructions, the doctor did not dare to push him out.

"President Nim," the doctor quickly helped Jin Jianying to the wheelchair and hung up the IV bag, "Are you feeling better?"

At first, Jin Jianying looked at his hospital gown in confusion, then looked at the snow-white hospital walls. He was somewhat unwilling to accept this desolate atmosphere.

His eyes fell on the infusion needle on the back of his hand, which was proof of his current weakness.

"Better now," Jin Jianying's voice was low and weak. He raised his hand to call the doctor to him and asked why he fainted. "What happened to me?"

The doctor looked a little embarrassed, but finally told the truth.

Jin Jianying fell silent after learning the truth. "Try your best. How long will it take?"

The doctor sighed and said, "President Nim."

"Five to ten years."

"Five to ten years?" Jin Jianying took a deep breath, as if this would make him feel more comfortable.

"I didn't expect it." He made his face calm again, "Yongjun and Shengjun are outside?"

"Yes, President-nim."

"Push me out."

The doctor hesitated for a moment, but still reminded, "Councilman Cho Tae-seop is outside. Representatives Yong-jun and Sung-jun have been holding him back outside, preventing him from hearing about you."

Jin Jianying shook her head, with some relief and some helplessness in her eyes, "They can't hide it from Zhao Taixie."

The lights in the corridor were dim. When Jin Jianying was pushed out in a wheelchair, her face was pale and her eyes were closed.

When Jin Yongjun and Jin Shengjun saw this scene, they couldn't control their voices and shouted, "Dad!"

Jin Jianying was slowly pushed out of the examination room by the doctor with his eyes closed. His body swayed slightly as the wheelchair rocked. His breathing became heavy. He didn't want to talk much, but when he heard his son's impatient shout, he opened his eyes and glared at them, "Be quiet!"

Jin Yongjun lowered his head and walked quickly to Jin Jianying's side, "Father."

"Let's go to the ward first." Jin Jianying wanted to wave his hand, but the liquid in the infusion bag was still silently flowing into his body drop by drop. "I'm a little tired. Let me rest first."

He looked up at Zhao Taixie and smiled, "Councilman Zhao, can you give me a push?"

Zhao Taixie was waiting quietly for their father to finish greeting, but he didn't expect Jin Jianying to say this. He stared at the unnatural paleness on Jin Jianying's face and nodded with a smile, "I'm relieved to see that the president is okay."

He stepped forward and pushed the wheelchair instead of the doctor, "I'll take the president back to his room to rest."

Although Jin Jianying remained silent along the way, his occasional frown and barely perceptible groan still revealed his pain.

The doctors and nurses who followed kept their heads down in silence. The footsteps in the corridor were swallowed up by the carpet, with only the slight creaking sound of the wheelchair rolling on the floor.

Because Kim Gun-young and Cho Tae-seop were there, the two sons Kim Young-jun and Kim Sung-jun who were following behind were unable to ask the doctor about Kim Gun-young's condition.

But they still looked solemn, and could hardly hide the worry and anxiety in their eyes.

According to Jin Jianying's daily preaching to them, if Jin Jianying was fine now, then when he came out, no matter how weak he was, he would scold them both and tell them to go back to work.

They followed behind Jin Jianying's wheelchair on both sides, keeping their eyes on her extremely haggard figure.

Zhao Taixie pushed Jin Jianying's wheelchair, and his brows revealed worry, but this worry was indeed a bit false.

The door and lights of the ward were opened, and the ward was no longer quiet.

The soft bed and white sheets, as well as the neatly arranged medical equipment on the side, no longer seem so cold under the warm yellow light.

As Jin Jianying was gently helped to the hospital bed, the others seemed to breathe a sigh of relief at the same time, but were shrouded in invisible pressure.

Kim Young-jun and Kim Sung-jun's eyes met, and they could feel the fear and uneasiness in each other's hearts. No matter what they had hinted at before, they still became the weak ones when facing the awakened Kim Jae-young.

And Zhao Taixie's eyes seemed somewhat unfathomable at this moment, as deep as the darkening night outside.

"President, you must take care of your health," Zhao Taixie was busy running around, more like a secretary than a secretary. "Your health condition not only affects the Tianxia Group, but also affects the economic pulse of the entire Korean Peninsula."

"Really?" Jin Jianying sighed, "I don't think that's the case now. There are already young people challenging me."

"And I can't even fight back now."

"I don't know if it's really his luck or what," Jin Jianying sighed deeply again, "Li You's journey seems to be blessed by God."

"During the development period of the Kinmen Group, Chen Yangzhe fell ill. Now that we were on the verge of the top, I fell ill on the first day."
