Korean TV series: King of Peninsula 1997

Chapter 500: Gluttonous Desire
The night after Li You and Jin Shengjun finished their conversation, Jin Shengjun was blocked by his own brother on his way home.

"I heard that you talked with Li You for a long time today?"

Jin Shengjun felt a little tired when he saw Jin Yongjun with a gloomy face in front of him. He couldn't let him do all the work and then let him take the blame.

Jin Shengjun simply shook his head and said, "It has nothing to do with me. It's my father's idea."

"What is he thinking?" Jin Yongjun's expression turned uncertain.

Is this biased towards Kim Sung-jun?

He was not sure whether his idea was right or not, but in short, he could not make trouble for Jin Shengjun today.

"Okay," Jin Yongjun put away his gloomy look and showed a very hypocritical smile on his face, "Dad just asked me to come over, shall we go together?"

Jin Shengjun nodded calmly.

The two were not together, and their relationship began to change with Jin Jianying's health condition. If Jin Jianying had always been healthy, they could always be brothers.

Kim Sung-jun and Kim Young-jun soon arrived at Kim Jianying's private ward. An entire floor of this hospital was dedicated to the Tianxia Group, and the Tianxia Group had few members, so there was no need to worry about news leaks.

As soon as they arrived here, they saw a scene of a loving father and a filial daughter.

"Mom." Jin Xiya sat by the window, her head resting on the bed, talking on the phone sideways.

Jin Jianying sat up on the hospital bed and leaned against the headboard with the corners of his mouth slightly raised. It can be seen that he was in a very good mood.

When Jin Jianying saw the two of them coming together, she was a little surprised, but more happy, "Come over quickly if you are here."

What he said was not as gentle as he thought.

"dad."

After the two of them greeted each other, Jin Xiya quickly ended the call and saluted her elder and second brothers.

"How was your chat with Li You?" Kim Jae-young looked at Kim Sung-jun with a smile.

Jin Shengjun hesitated for a moment, then nodded uncertainly, "He said he would see what we were doing."

"He's a man who won't release his eagle until he sees the rabbit," Jin Jianying snorted coldly, "You have formally negotiated with him. Tell your elder brother and Xiya what kind of person Li You is?"

Jin Shengjun's expression froze, and he didn't know where to start.

Jin Yongjun sneered, "Li You is such an ambitious person. I'm afraid he has plotted against us many times. Dad, do we really want to cooperate with him?"

"Okay!" Jin Jianying frowned and quickly interrupted Jin Yongjun's words, "How could I not know that he is ambitious? Who among us is not ambitious?"

Jin Yongjun wanted to explain that he didn't mean that, but he just kept his mouth shut.

Jin Shengjun was silent for a while, and then he said, "He can't be dealt with by one person."

Jin Shengjun looked at Jin Jianying and Jin Yongjun sincerely, "No matter if it's me or my brother."

Jin Jianying paused and asked, "What happened when you met Li You?"

Jin Shengjun recalled what happened in the lounge, "It's what you told me to do."

He didn't say that Li You wanted to interfere in the Kinmen Group. No matter what, he had to leave a way out for himself.

Jin Jianying stared at him for a few seconds, looked away, and touched Jin Xiya's head. "What do you think of this?"

Kim Young-jun and Kim Sung-jun frowned at the same time, but quickly relaxed their brows and looked at Kim Hee-ya with anticipation.

"." Jin Xiya pouted and thought for a while, then shook her head, "I don't really understand these things now, but can we still maintain the balance that Dad always talked about?"

Jin Jianying laughed, "Yes, why not?"

He waved his hand and asked his secretary to take Jin Xiya home first. "You have to go to school tomorrow, go back and get some rest."

"Look at what Xiya said," Jin Jianying waited for Xiya to leave the ward, and his expression changed. His fatherly smile disappeared. "Xiya is a freshman in high school, but she still remembers what I said. Don't you remember?"

"If you don't pay attention, it would be better for Tianxia Group to be swallowed up by Li You, so that you two can see what it is."

The sudden anger caught Kim Sung-jun and Kim Young-jun off guard, and they didn't even know what to say.

Jin Jianying looked at the two bewildered people, feeling a bit disappointed, "From now on, you two will take over the group's business."

Kim Young-jun and Kim Sung-jun showed joy on their faces, and the heaviness of being scolded just now was swept away.

"dad"

"Don't talk for now," Jin Jianying said loudly, and she coughed for a while.

"I'll ask someone to discuss the specific plan later," Jin Jianying rubbed his head, "What do you two prefer?"

Seeing that the two men didn't speak, Jin Jianying waved his hands irritably and told them to leave quickly.

He also knew that these two wanted to talk in private.

After going out, Kim Young-jun deliberately slowed down his pace, but Kim Sung-jun took big strides and left. As soon as he left, Kim Sung-jun's smile of surprise slowly faded.

He got into the car, still thinking about what Li You had said.

After all, he was neither the eldest son nor the youngest daughter, and was the least valued one.

He had to make some plans for himself.

Afterwards, the situation on the Korean Peninsula was completely calmed down. The only news from the upper echelons was that Kim Jae-young had rarely appeared in public and had let his two sons start handling the various businesses of specific industries.

Li You also came to Asan on a business trip in early autumn.

The hot spring project in Asan City was completed at the beginning of this year, but it has not yet started business. In addition to the fact that Li You was really busy, it was also because Li You wanted to postpone the opening time.

He wants to coordinate the hot spring project with the Jeju Island project, and now it seems that there is a great chance of success.

"Chairman Lee," the mayor of Asan was very enthusiastic. He had heard of Lee Myung-hak, the rising political star of the Jeonju Lee family, and he knew very well how Lee Myung-hak rose to become the mayor of Seoul.

As soon as he came up, he warmly shook Li You's hands with both hands, smiling, "Welcome to Seoul again."

Li You smiled and said, "Mayor Li, you don't have to be polite. We are all friends."

"Yes, I am a friend," Mayor Li said with a smile. He stepped aside and invited Li You to walk into the same hot spring restaurant. The restaurant owner was still standing by and serving him.

"President Li," President Jiang bowed his head, "Welcome to our meal."

"President Jiang," Li You waved his hand gently, "I have read the actual report of the hot spring project you are responsible for building in Asan. It is in line with my expectations. You have done a good job."

"Thank you, President Nim, for giving me this opportunity," President Jiang said with a smile on his face, "otherwise I would not have the chance to fulfill my dream."

Li You had a meal with Mayor Li in the restaurant, and then made a field inspection, which was considered to be the completion of the preparations for the opening. The opening ceremony was held at the Asan City Hall. After all, this was a large-scale project in cooperation with the local government, so it was no big deal to give Mayor Li a face.

After Li You delivered the opening speech and cut the ribbon, Asan Hot Spring was officially opened.

After Li You came back, he began to make arrangements for the next step of the Kinmen Group.

Today, Kinmen Heavy Industries has seized nearly half of the oil market share from Tianxia Group by shipping Suriname-produced oil to the Korean Peninsula. For Li You, this has temporarily achieved his goal.

It is not realistic to want to take away everything in a short period of time.

After all, Jin Jianying is still alive and still has control over Tianxia Group.

The Kinmen Group still has less capital now and cannot compare with this huge group that has accumulated capital for decades.

However, if Jin Jianying encounters another serious problem and his control over the group weakens, many evildoers will take the initiative to take action on Li You's behalf.

In order to compete between Tianxia Automobile and Daying Automobile, Tianxia Group temporarily gave up its rivalry with Kinmen Group.

So the next step is also very simple. Li You has to eat Shunyang before they decide who is better.

This is an aboveboard action. In fact, Chen Rongji is well aware of it and may even have been prepared for it.

After all, the declining Shunyang will always be a popular commodity, and anyone who has the time will want to take a piece of it.

In Li You's office, Li You was standing in front of the window, looking towards the Shunyang Building in the distance.

In fact, nothing can be seen from this position, but it does not prevent Li You from looking over there.

Mou Xianmin was lazily lying on the sofa behind him. She had light makeup on her face and her slightly upturned eyes revealed a hint of playfulness. "Starting tonight, Xiancheng Daily will take the lead, and other media will also start the attack."

She frowned slightly, thinking about what Li You had said before, "Shun Yang will probably fight back, but the media under Shun Yang's control doesn't pose any threat."

Li You looked back at her for a while, then walked over with a smile on his face and looked down at him.

Mou Xianmin also raised her head at the right time and looked back with affectionate eyes.

The collar of her professional white shirt was slightly open, revealing a hint of lace.

The hip skirt perfectly shows off her well-proportioned figure, while the light black stockings add a touch of temptation to her legs.

Li You sat next to her and told her leisurely, "No matter what their self-defense looks like, all I want is to ruin Shunyang's reputation overnight and turn their current mixed reviews into one-sided criticism."

"I know," Mou Xianmin raised her calves, her slender ankles light and her high heels swaying on her feet.

"It's relatively easy to turn what the media expresses to the public into doubts and debates," Mou Xianmin said calmly. Her beauty is not ostentatious, but rather subtle and powerful. "But this situation may not last long. You know, many people still want Shunyang to exist. They don't want us to gain momentum again."

"What I'm worried about is how long the public can accept these things," Mou Xianmin said dimly, "It's probably not easy to maintain this kind of public opinion offensive for a long time."

"It's fine. As long as the other party doesn't forcefully reverse the situation, let Shunyang continue to be more controversial, and let the public know about Shunyang's crisis," Li You murmured, tapping the handrail. "What we did tonight was to get more passers-by to participate. Even if Shunyang fights back later, these passers-by will become distrustful of them because of their preconceived notions. After word spreads from one person to ten, from ten to a hundred, Shunyang won't be able to hold on for long."

Early that morning, Chen Rongji was woken up from bed by a series of phone calls from his secretary.

He looked at the news all over the Internet and on TV in a daze, feeling gloomy in his heart.

He expected that Tianxia, ​​Daying and Kinmen would, whenever they had time, attempt to annex Shunyang, but he did not expect that day to come so soon.

"What will Kinmen mainly use to attack us?"

The secretary was sweating as he looked at the employees who were called back at Shunyang headquarters. "Some of them were old scandals, and some were scandals from more than ten or twenty years ago."

"But the most important thing is that after the death of President Chen Yangzhe, Shunyang still has no official president."

Chen Rongji is now the acting chairman of Shun Yang.

Because in Chen Yangzhe's will, only after Chen Dongji and Chen Rongji have determined who is better can they officially succeed.

For a moment, Chen Rongji fell silent.

The secretary felt that he had touched Chen Rongji's minefield, but he still went on to say, "The media in Kinmen questioned Shunyang's succession, and some people even secretly made trouble, so the chairman has not appeared until now."

"Including the illegal shell companies and internal operation issues that appeared in the inheritance that were investigated at the beginning, all of them were brought up."

Chen Rongji clenched his fist and slammed the table in the study, "First, maintain it according to the things prepared before."

At this point, he didn't have any other options. "Let's contact the prosecutor and see if there's a chance to clear some files."

"clear."

Chen Rongji lowered his head and felt his heart beginning to ache. He let out a deep breath, then calmed himself down and called Li You.

"President Li, why do you have to push me too far?" Chen Rongji gritted his teeth. "Over the years, Kinmen Group and Shunyang have had a lot of cooperation. We have a lot of dealings with each other. Why do you have to do this now?"

Li You raised his eyebrows, thinking that Chen Rongji's words were a bit childish, "No need to waste time on nonsense, President Chen."

He narrowed his eyes, "You also know that with Shunyang as he is now, there will be no chance for him to rise again, not to mention that it is you who is in power now, not Chairman Chen Yangzhe."

When others said that he was not as good as his father, Chen Rongji did not refute it.

"Not to mention that you also know that I am only taking action at the best and most appropriate time for our Kinmen Group," Li You turned on the loudspeaker and threw his phone on the table. "If I don't take action now and miss this good opportunity, how long can Shunyang exist?"

"Excuse me for being blunt," Li You said coldly, "Even if I don't do anything, after three to five years, if one of the Tianxia Group and the Daying Group has time, they will take action against Shunyang, and they will be more ruthless than me."

Chen Rongji closed his eyes and hung up the phone after a long time.

In fact, Chen Rongji had some premonition when Li You suddenly took action against the oil industry on the Korean Peninsula.

The Kinmen Group's involvement in the oil industry has resulted in much ado about nothing.

Even though he was on the verge of a fight with Tianxia Group some time ago, Li You took action at this time because he knew that Jin Jianying would not give up Tianxia Automobile.

At this point, Chen Rongji also knew that there was no need to beg for mercy from his opponents. Now he was more focused on finding allies, no matter who they were or how big or small they were.

He first contacted his younger sister Chen Huarong.

But Chen Huarong's husband, Cui Changdi, is now the head of the family. After Cui Changdi stepped down and became a member of the National Assembly, he was determined to stand on Li You's side, otherwise all his previous efforts would be in vain.

Not to mention Chen Dongji, his niece Chen Yajun has always had an unclear relationship with Li You, and the ownership of Chen Dongji's most important Shunyang Securities is now in the hands of Li You.

Chen Rongji's two biggest helpers were poached by Li You early on.

He contacted several close friends, but all failed.

At this point, no one wants to do anything with the collapsed Shunyang.
