Korean TV series: King of Peninsula 1997

Chapter 499: The Heart of Succession

On the third night, Seoul was still busy with traffic as usual.

The lights of Seoul did not extend to the vicinity of the Kinmen Club, and to ensure safety and confidentiality, there were no prominent buildings near the club.

Jin Shengjun got out of a black Tianxia car, his steps were not steady and even a little anxious.

The world outside the car was still quiet. There were not many people on this street, or to be more precise, not many people on the street.

There was a hint of nervousness in Jin Shengjun's eyes.

As the son of Kim Gun-young, chairman of the Tianxia Group, there are only a few people in the entire Korean Peninsula who can make him feel nervous before they even meet.

This is a meeting that Jin Shengjun attaches great importance to. From his perspective, this meeting may affect the future direction of the entire Tianxia Group.

After getting off the car, he walked hurriedly to the front of the Golden Gate Club.

The guards at the door had sharp and alert eyes. They were not surprised by Jin Shengjun's arrival. They had been waiting for a long time.

After all, everyone who comes to the Kinmen Club will be notified in advance, and there will be no sudden visitors unless Li You brings someone personally.

Jin Shengjunping raised his hand, and his custom-made suit was carefully checked by the security personnel at the door before he was allowed to enter.

Jin Shengjun always felt that there was someone around watching him, but he couldn't find anyone and could only see some dark windows.

The moment he stepped into the club, his nervous mood became even more tense, but it was replaced by a kind of relaxation that only came from being at the center of power.

Jin Shengjun looked around the interior of the club. The decoration was as luxurious as many of Tianxia Group's industries, yet low-key. It looked magnificent even under the soft lighting.

But this place belongs exclusively to Li You.

Jin Shengjun was envious. His footsteps were almost silent on the thick carpet, but his mood was like that of a nervous soloist on the stage.

There are not many visible guards in the club, only many hidden surveillance cameras watching silently.

"Please come in," Jeon Jae-jun gestured casually. His words were respectful, but his tone and body movements were not. "Would you like to take a look?"

Jin Shengjun pursed his lips and shook his head silently.

But he still looked around. There were artworks displayed on both sides of the corridor, some of which Jin Shengjun had seen at auctions.

They are not antiques, but "circulating art" on the Korean Peninsula, equivalent to cash.

However, under the dim light, they also look mysterious and artistic.

Jin Shengjun's eyes swept lightly over each piece of art.

He followed Quan Jae-jun, walked through the long corridor, and finally arrived at the elevator of the Golden Gate Club.

Quan Jae-joon deliberately took him around in turns. Quan Jae-joon took out a special card and the elevator started moving after verification, heading to the top floor where the president's office was located.

"All representatives," Jin Shengjun said with a smile as the elevator went up, "How is the president feeling?"

"How are you feeling?" Quan Zaijun glanced at him and said with a half-smile, "Since I have taken away so much of your oil market share, of course the president is happy."

Jin Shengjun kept smiling. When the elevator door slowly opened and made a dull sound, he nodded slightly and said, "I came here to discuss these things with the president."

There is also a verification system at the elevator door on this floor. Quan Jae-jun changed a card and swiped it on the elevator, and the elevator door slowly opened.

The elevators in the Kinmen Club were not like this before, but Future Electronics has developed various verification systems, and the new ones are just right for use in the elevators.

Following them to the door of the office, it was more like an exclusive lounge for Li You, with everything in it.

The closed door has intricate carvings and no verification system.

To put it bluntly, the previous verification system only limits the number of people who can reach this level. If a few people are lucky enough to touch Li You,
After Li You agreed, the door was pushed open. When the two of them walked in, Li You was chatting with the person inside with a chuckle.

"President Nim," Chen Yunji, who was standing opposite him, stood up and said goodbye, "Your guest is here, I won't bother you any more."

Because Kinmen Group has recently swallowed up a large number of production staff and artists, Li You specifically called Chen Yunji, who is in charge of Kinmen Entertainment, and had a detailed conversation with him, especially about the training of Jun Ji-hyun.

Chen Yunji's departure also took away the gentleness here.

Li You leaned on the sofa with his legs crossed leisurely, and the red wine glass in his hand was gently rotating. The dark red wine reflected the face of Jin Shengjun in front of him.

"President," Jeon Jae-jun bowed his head, "I've brought the person here."

"You listen together over there," Li You waved his hand gently.

Jin Shengjun walked up to Li You and bowed slightly, "Chairman Li, nim."

Li You smiled lightly and raised his glass to indicate that there was a hint of teasing and calmness in his smile. "Please take a seat, Sheng Junxi."

When he sat down, Li You poured red wine into a new glass and handed it to him.

Jin Shengjun's fingers trembled slightly, and when he took the cup, their eyes met briefly in the air.

Li You took a sip of red wine, while Jin Shengjun's expression became solemn. His words were choked in his throat, but Li You blocked his mouth lightly, and he didn't know how to start.

As the wine flowed between his lips, although Jin Shengjun appeared calm on the surface, the turmoil in his heart was difficult to calm.

He felt that he could not compare to Li You, but he did not expect the gap to be so big.

The conversation hasn't even started yet. All the initiative has been taken away.

"This is what a true helmsman does. In addition to power and resources, he also has courage," Jin Shengjun sighed in his heart, with some unspeakable desires.

Li You saw something in his eyes, and then he spoke slowly, "Sheng Junxi came to me, what do you want to talk about?"

Jin Shengjun tasted the red wine with his tongue, his brain still sighing, and it took him two seconds to react after Li You spoke, "Sorry, President Li, nim."

"It's okay," Li You waved his hand. "What did Shengjunxi want to talk about this time?" Jin Shengjun smiled bitterly. "I want to talk to the president about how to balance the Jinmen Group and the Tianxia Group."

"Balancing the Kinmen Group and the Tianxia Group?" Li You leaned back on the sofa, tapping the armrest with his index finger. It took him a while to laugh. "You said that, do you really think so?"

"No," Jin Shengjun shook his head, "This is my father's idea."

Li You narrowed his eyes.

It seems that Jin Jianying also wants to make peace, but now he is being held hostage, and he may have a hard time expressing his grievances, even to the point of wanting an opponent like Li You to intervene.

"But the current situation is very good for me," Li You put down his wine glass, and Quan Zaijun immediately handed him a cigarette. "What I should consider is not turning the current good thing into a bad thing."

"Unless President Jin offers enough bargaining chips."

Jin Shengjun nodded, a little frightened in silence. Compared with these truly influential figures in Seoul, he was indeed still young. Whether it was experience in various aspects or sophistication, there were still many things he needed to learn, except for the people in front of him.

"I know that Tianxia Group is in a difficult situation now. They are my enemy and also Daying Automobile's enemy," Li You said with a smile, "Don't blame me for being immodest. There is no one in the Korean Peninsula who can deal with Daying and Kinmen at the same time."

"You guys are using Tianxia Auto to dig up the roots of Daying Group, I'm just following suit," Li You said with interest, "Those of us who are called 'chaebols' by outsiders, even if we have a complicated network of relationships, there will still not be a long-term cooperative relationship between the two real groups."

"." Jin Shengjun nodded bitterly.

"Right now, the focus of your Tianxia Group is nothing more than choosing between oil and cars. I see that you came to me, President Jin, to choose cars?"

Listening to Li You's words, Jin Shengjun forced a smile and said, "Tianxia Automobile cannot retreat, but Tianxia Energy still has a way out."

"That's right," Li You nodded without commenting, "In addition to oil, there are also many other energy sources such as natural gas and electricity."

"My father still suggested that our two families shake hands and make peace, or even eat up Daying together," Jin Shengjun said, "Is President Li not interested in Daying?"

"If Tianxia Automobile fails miserably, Daying Automobile will recover," Jin Shengjun reminded: "Don't forget the relationship between you and Daying"

"What happened between me and the camp?" Li You put down his wine glass, his eyes sharp.

Jin Shengjun coughed twice and didn't say anything, "In short, the three of us are not complete friends, nor are we complete enemies."

"Tianxia Automobile has suffered a disastrous defeat. Once the big camp recovers, it will definitely fight back against your Kinmen," he said earnestly. "Why don't we just hold out and you take a portion of the oil market share and end this matter here? How do you think?"

Li You looked at him with an ominous look, "Sheng Junxi is sincere, is this your idea or President Jin's idea?"

Jin Shengjun lowered his eyes, "My father's thoughts."

"So what are your ideas?" Li You laughed and said, "I don't believe you don't have any ideas."

"From a certain standpoint, there is a possibility that you and I can become allies," Li You said slowly, "The battle for succession is about to begin. Sheng Junxi, do you have the confidence to defeat your eldest brother?"

Such a naked expression made Jin Shengjun take a breath of cold air. He touched his mouth awkwardly, "This..."

"If you miss this opportunity, you won't be able to have it again," Li You poured the red wine by himself. "Sheng Junxi, think about it first."

Jin Shengjun hesitated for a while, but still gritted his teeth and said, "President, can you tell me your suggestions?"

"Suggestions?" Li You shook his head. "There is no suggestion on the matter of succession."

"The battle for succession in a chaebol family is different from the battle for succession in ancient dynasties," Li You sniffed the scent of red wine, "Every generation of chairman wants to hold all the power.

Once you fail, you fail forever. You have no chance to return to the center of power, and neither do your children. Your grandchildren are likely to become marginal rich people.

You may be able to own the operating rights of some subsidiaries, but the real ownership will always be in the hands of the winner. "

Li You shook the red wine glass and said, "You have lived in a chaebol family for so long, you should be clear about the future direction."

"The two brothers in Shunyang fought so hard that Shunyang was torn apart, but they still refused to give in."

"Because once one person gains power, everyone else becomes a worker. The person in power will train his children to take over, and the descendants of the workers of his generation will start working for his descendants from generation to generation and will never have access to power."

"With your mind," Li You glanced at him, "it's impossible that you don't have the idea of ​​fighting."

Jin Shengjun took a few deep breaths and nodded reluctantly, "What the president said makes sense."

He said frankly, "I do have the idea, but the chances are not great."

"That may not be the case..." Li You touched his chin, "What you lack most is exactly what I don't lack. Don't you know that?"

"I know," Jin Shengjun lowered his head apologetically, "but now I can't join forces with President Li."

"Whether it's dealing with my eldest brother or my father, we can't do it at this time."

Li You looked at him with some surprise, and waved his hand in boredom, "Then you can go back. As for President Jin's proposal."

He smiled, "Let's see how you perform in the market."

Jin Shengjun opened the door and left, followed by Quan Zaijun who disappeared out the door.

"Tsk..." Li You sat alone on the sofa for a while and drank the red wine in the glass. "Jin Jianying raised a good son."

just
Li You didn't believe that Jin Shengjun was willing to sacrifice himself and his descendants and give up the inheritance rights without fighting or competing.

This year, the Korean Peninsula has been jumping back and forth between the two choices of stability or not.

First, Li You announced with great fanfare that Kinmen Group would enter the oil industry on the Korean Peninsula and announced long-term cooperation with Suriname.

Soon after, the Tianxia Group, which monopolized the oil industry on the Korean Peninsula, began to prepare for a business war with the Kinmen Group.

As a result, more than two months later, the Korean Peninsula has become much calmer than before.
