Korean TV series: King of Peninsula 1997

Chapter 504 Begins to Tremble

Throughout the Korean Peninsula, anyone who knows the inside story trembles at Li You's current influence.

The financial and human resources demonstrated by the Kinmen Group, as well as its inexplicable network of relationships, left Chen Rongji of Shunyang helpless.

He couldn't even give himself some time.

Now, Kinmen Group is about to complete the acquisition of more than half of Shunyang Group's industries.

You should know that the actual controller of Chen Dongji's Shunyang Securities and Shunyang Electronics, which was renamed Future Electronics, has long been Li You. As long as the acquisition of those industries under Chen Rongji's name is completed, Shunyang Group will be reunited.

Li You also anticipated that, behind every step he took in commanding the Kinmen Group, there would be countless forces studying it with a magnifying glass.

Whether in business or politics, before anyone does anything in the business or political circles, they should think about whether this matter has anything to do with Li You.

However, the most important thing for Kinmen Group at this moment does not require them to study, because the acquisition of Shunyang Group does not need to be studied either.

As for the wave of strikes and marches, as the Kinmen Group gradually began to acquire companies, those employees who stopped marching were as active as those preparing for an exam. After all, if they passed the assessment, they would receive a 10% salary increase.

Although these subsidiaries reduced a lot of business during the acquisition period and employees did not need to contribute much, the evaluation after the acquisition was completed was related to their future salary and benefits.
These employees look at each other and know that they should work hard.

Especially in this Korean Peninsula where there are already signs of a breakthrough, these people's enthusiasm for work has suddenly surged.

People have been paid more, so there is no shame in being more proactive and working hard.

When the current President Li Lianchang learned that the demonstration was over, he breathed a sigh of relief while sitting in his office.

The demonstration ended here, and Li Lianchang's face was filled with worry and anxiety.

The end of the demonstrations is certainly a good thing, but how to deal with the Kinmen Group has become the biggest stone hanging in Li Lianchang's heart.

wrong
Li Lianchang's face looked a little gloomy. He sat in his office chair and shook his head. He looked at the presidential desk in front of him and for the first time felt that the power he had dreamed of was so hot.

It would be great if I was all bright.
Li Lianchang, one of the most famous democracy fighters, now wants to become the evil president of the military government.

Now at this point, Li Lianchang naturally knew that Li You was no longer someone the president could deal with.

If you think about it carefully, this matter was prepared by Li You from the beginning to the end.

Having targeted Tianxia Group and Daying Group, which were competing with each other in the automobile industry, they suddenly extended their hands to the oil industry.

This forced Tianxia Group to make a choice. After getting a share of the oil market, it quickly withdrew its share, and a huge public opinion against Chen Rongji was set off overnight.

I don't even know where the evidence of Chen Rongji's murder was found.

Taking advantage of the arrest of Chen Rongji and the instability of Shunyang Group, Li You used his unique advantage in the public opinion circle to launch a wave of strikes, marches and demonstrations.

He then directed the acquisition of Shunyang as a matter of course.

This kind of preparation before launching an attack is exactly the same as predators in nature.

When Li Lianchang thought of this, his fear overflowed.

It has been several years since Chen Yangzhe died of illness, but the car accident happened before that.

The evidence of Chen Rongji and his mother hiring a killer to commit murder was held by Li You for so many years.
Now no one dares to act rashly around Li You.

If all kinds of "doors" suddenly pop up, no one will be able to get away with it in Li You's hands.

It can be imagined that no one dares to arrest Li You now.

Even if Li You was put in jail, Li Lianchang couldn't imagine how many people could take the blame for Li You.

It won’t be long before many people can no longer withstand the endless attacks from Li You’s men.

Fatal disasters are no joke.

Wait for Li You to cooperate with the investigation for two or three days, or even a few hours, and then follow the clues to find the person who screwed him.
Li Lianchang looked troubled. It seemed better for him to just ignore it.

"." Li Lianchang touched his chin and sighed.

Let's just take it one step at a time. Li You is on the rise and I am his ally. I don't know how much benefit I have gained from him.
Compared to Li Lianchang's comfortable struggle in the presidential office, the imprisoned Chen Rongji welcomed his first prison visit.

Although it was broad daylight, the sky in Seoul was very gloomy and the thick clouds still made it difficult to breathe.

The temperature in early winter is not high, and it looks like heavy rain is about to fall. The weather is cloudy, dull and humid.

It was even colder inside the prison. The high walls of the prison didn't allow much sunlight to enter, and it was a cloudy day, so the prison was even darker.

Li You still didn't completely kill Chen Rongji. He still ensured good meals and accommodation, and asked the people in the prison to give him some "little care", breaking the previous "rule" that chaebols could make phone calls to contact the outside world at will in prison.

Chen Rongji has been out of contact with the outside world for some time.

He walked out of his luxurious cell and headed for the visiting room. He saw countless people in the surrounding cells looking at Chen Rongji through the small window on the cell door.

Chen Rongji was wearing plain prison clothes and walking with difficulty, leaning on a crutch.

After staying in the dark prison for several days without any exposure to sunlight, his face became pale, and the dignity he inherited from Chen Yangzhe had been replaced by haggardness and fatigue.

Not to mention that as soon as Chen Rongji came to this place, his old leg problems recurred frequently. Even with the care of a doctor, every step he took was now accompanied by dull pain.

Chen Rongji walked into the visiting room with a cane and heavy steps.

When Chen Rongji's wife Sun Zhenlai saw him coming in, she hurriedly stood up and supported Chen Rongji, "Husband"

Chen Xingjun sat in his seat and looked coldly at Chen Rongji who was helped to the seat opposite him.

"Look at how miserable you are now. It seems that prison life is not suitable for you."

Chen Xingjun, waiting in a suit and tie, was completely different from Chen Rongji, who was wearing prison clothes.

"The president of Shunyang is now in jail for hiring a killer," Chen Xingjun didn't want to say anything nice, "If grandpa knew about this."

"Tsk" Chen Xingjun had no control over his urge to ridicule Chen Rongji.

Instead, the corner of his mouth curled up into the cynical smile that he once wore most often.

"Don't say any more," Sun Zhenlai looked at Chen Xingjun pleadingly, "Your father..."

"I have to say it," Chen Xingjun looked at the taciturn Chen Rongji, "otherwise I don't know when I will say it next time."

Chen Rongji raised his head, stared at Chen Xingjun, and sighed slightly, "If you have any unvented anger, just say it all at once."

Chen Rongji had already expected this kind of scene when meeting Chen Xingjun.

Chen Xingjun's expression was cold, with a sarcastic smile on his face, "Do you think I'll be soft-hearted just like that?"

"As your only son, I was once your pride?" Chen Xingjun raised his eyebrows. "How is it now?"

Chen Rongji raised his head, and their eyes finally met in the visiting room. The air was filled with a strong smell of gunpowder.

"I shouldn't have let you study abroad."

Chen Rongji felt a little regretful. Under his discipline in high school, Chen Xingjun had always been a qualified successor, but he ruined himself after going abroad for four years.

"That's what you created," Chen Xingjun no longer had the respect he had for Chen Rongji when he was a child, "Does the son of a chaebol family have to live under high pressure every day?"

After more than ten years of high-pressure control, the situation was suddenly relaxed when he went to study abroad. At that time, Chen Xingjun spent more money on prostitution, gambling and drugs than anyone else.

Chen Xingjun grinned and laughed sinisterly, "You will be punished for doing something wrong?" Chen Rongji's eyes flashed with disappointment. He didn't think his teaching method was wrong. "Everything I did was to make you a qualified heir."

The voice trembled slightly.

"Forget it, I won't talk to you about the past," Chen Xingjun crossed his arms, "Only old people keep reminiscing about the past."

"Well, what does an elephant do before it dies?"

Seeing that Chen Rongji fell silent, Chen Xingjun felt a little bored.

In his heart, he always wanted to look down at Chen Rongji with this kind of condescending attitude, but he didn't expect that Chen Rongji now had no reaction at all.

Chen Xingjun also lost the good mood to continue talking.

"In short," Chen Xingjun sneered and revealed the cruelty of reality: "You have become a burden to us now, and Shunyang has ended in your hands."

Chen Rongji looked at him steadily, "How far has Li You gone?"

"Don't worry about that," Chen Xingjun coughed arrogantly, "I'll take care of the acquisition outside, you just reflect on it here."

About Shunyang's acquisition.
Chen Xingjun didn't want to contribute anything. He didn't have the confidence to face Li You, nor did he want to save the family business, and he would not bear the consequences for Chen Rongji's mistakes.

He stood up and adjusted his beautiful bow tie, bowed his head politely to the two of them, then slammed the door and left. As the door was closed, Chen Xingjun's figure disappeared, leaving the visiting room in dead silence.

The light in the visiting room was dim, illuminating the figures of Chen Rongji and Sun Zhenlai.

A trace of desolation flashed across Chen Rongji's eyes. "I may not be able to communicate with you often."

He sighed, "Li You won't let me have any chance of hindering the acquisition. The outside hustle and bustle and power games are out of reach for me."

"What should I do, husband?"

Sun Zhenlai's eyes were already red, and now she was about to cry again.

"Don't cry," Chen Rongji patted Sun Zhenlai gently, "Fortunately, Li You didn't use those inferior business methods. This is still a normal acquisition, and the money won't be much less."

Chen Rongji shook Sun Zhenlai's hand and said, "Just take good care of him. If you have any questions, ask Dongji and Huarong."

"They?" Sun Zhenlai looked at him in confusion.

"Although there were some struggles before, I have lost everything now," Chen Rongji smiled sadly, "The chaebols are always particularly generous to family members who have lost everything and cannot make a comeback."

"No matter what, they are still my brothers and sisters. At least they won't continue to add insult to injury. You and Xingjun will need someone to take care of you with the money you get after the acquisition."

Sun Zhenlai was silent for a while, then nodded silently, "I understand, husband."

Under the same cloudy sky, Li You put away his mobile phone, glanced at Li Mingxue opposite him with a smile, and then personally poured him a cup of tea.

"Mayor Li cooperated very well this time," Li You praised. "The word swift and decisive cannot describe it."

"President, you are so kind," Li Mingxue took the tea with both hands, "I am just doing what I should do. The old president's spirit in heaven will support me."

"That's right," Li You didn't drink his cup of tea. "Chen Yangzhe's wife Li Biyu colluded with their own son Chen Rongji and wanted to murder the old chairman. This is not something I made up."

Li Mingxue thought of the late Chen Yangzhe again. He was silent for a while. "For attacking his own father, this is undoubtedly what Chen Rongji deserves."

Li You raised his eyebrows, "It seems that Mayor Li still misses the old president."

Li Mingxue took a sip of tea and said after a while, "Thank you for your kindness."

Li You had a gentle smile on his face, "But regarding the matter here, I asked Mayor Li to come here today because there is something more important."

"Please speak, President." Li Mingxue actually knew something about what Li You was going to say, but it was better to let Li You speak first. This was also an unwritten rule.

You said what the upper level said, and what the upper level said.
"The Cheonggyecheon restoration project will be completed soon if it goes according to the estimated date," Li You finally took a sip of the hot tea, "What's the current progress?"

Li Mingxue nodded solemnly, "It can be completed as estimated."

He explained, "But now that the year is almost over, the city hall may choose to open traffic at the beginning of next year."

"The reason for this proposal is that the current traffic situation is still good. Although there was a traffic chaos at one point, the traffic disaster we were worried about did not happen."

He paused, "Recently, many officials have asked me about the surrounding real estate."

Li You smiled and nodded, "The future appreciation of real estate around Cheonggyecheon is obvious to the naked eye. Kinmen already has enough real estate, so it has to share some of the pie."

Li Mingxue nodded, "I would like to thank the president on their behalf."

"We divided Cheonggyecheon into three sections," Li Mingxue said softly, "The president might have some impression of the previous plan."

"Of course," Li You attaches great importance to the real estate there and will of course look at the plan carefully.

"Cheongyecheon is divided into three sections: the west, the middle, and the east. Each section has its own advantages."

Li You thought about the previous plan. "The west, middle and east are divided into three parts. The west is now the political center of the entire Seoul, including the City Hall and the official news center of the Korean Peninsula, as well as the headquarters of various banks."

This is what he values ​​most. “The real estate prices here are also what I am most optimistic about.”

"Your position is called"

"History and the future," Li Mingxue lowered his head slightly, "Because historically, the western section of Cheonggyecheon was close to the royal palace of the Joseon Dynasty, and was also a place for various cultural and religious activities. Now the surrounding area is one of the most modern areas in Seoul."

"It's about the same," Li You nodded. "According to the Jinmen Real Estate team's forecast, the real estate prices in the western section will be about 20% higher than those in the central and eastern sections on average."

"If it's the western part closest to the city hall, the land price may be 30% higher than the eastern part,"

Li You raised his eyebrows slightly, "After all, historical factors have always been something that Seoul people value very much."

"Yes," Li Mingxue smiled bitterly, always feeling that there was something else behind Li You's words.

At the end of the year, the headquarters building of Kinmen Group.

Li Youyi sat on the comfortable sofa in the office, relaxing his body after a busy year.

The expensive record player was still playing music, one song after another.

Li You's eyes were closed and his breathing was long.

The sunlight shone through the floor-to-ceiling windows onto his face, bringing a hint of warmth.

Jeon Ji-hyun, who had finished her schedule for this year, stood behind Lee Woo, her fingers gently rotating on his temple with just the right amount of force, neither frivolous nor too heavy, her eyes focused and gentle.

The others are not so idle.

Under Mou Xianmin, the media industry is getting busier as the year approaches, and Mingyu Hospital, which is currently managed by Li Youmo, is also busy and complicated.

Not to mention Shunyang Securities and the financial industry.

After going around in circles, only Jun Ji-hyun, who had finished her trip, could come.

The peace here was broken only when a cell phone rang from the coffee table.

Li You opened his eyes and adjusted his sitting position.

Jun Ji-hyun took a step back gently, keeping a perfect distance.
