Korean TV series: King of Peninsula 1997

Chapter 550 Power and Strength

Chairman Park is actually a very sensible person, not the kind of guy who doesn't know what's good for him. When he received the next message from Secretary Li You, he realized that he had guessed wrongly.

He hurriedly told his secretary to prepare the car, but he couldn't wait until it was ready, so he trotted into the garage, sat in the driver's seat, stepped on the accelerator and drove towards the Golden Gate Group.

On the way, Chairman Park did not forget to send a message to Secretary Li You, stating that he had no ulterior motives and was apologizing to Chairman Li.

The secretary received the message and relayed it to Li You.

"He is quite sensible," Li You closed his eyes, "Then I can give him a little profit."

The essence of his planned hotel business was to combine with local gangs and control local forces with hotels as the center.

However, normal business operations must still be carried out as normal, and manpower is needed on both the bright and dark sides of the hotel.

"Let him come up if he comes," Li You waved his hand to let the secretary go out.

Jun Ji-hyun was still holding his head from behind. While the secretary was out, Li You also thought of the person behind him.

"What movies have you made recently?"

Jun Ji-hyun did not stop her hands, but was a little surprised. After all, Li You had never cared much about this aspect before and always asked Kinmen Entertainment to support her.

"The movie 'Daisy' was released in March," Jun Ji-hyun pursed her rosy lips, "It's considered an art film."

""daisy"?"

Just by hearing the name, Li You knew that this was an artistic romance film that was aiming to win awards.

He hesitated for a few seconds, "How is the quality?"

"Hmm," Jun Ji-hyun hesitated, "Not bad? I think it can get a nomination for the Grand Bell Awards."

Li You smiled and said, "An award is only an award if you get it. If you get this, you will also have won the Best Actress Award at the Grand Bell Awards twice. I will push you to Hollywood."

Jun Ji-hyun was very surprised and lined the streets to greet them and expressed her gratitude.

Chairman Park arrived at Kinmen Group early, but could only wait downstairs.

By the time Li You came out of the lounge and called Chairman Park downstairs, the sky outside the window had gradually darkened.

When Chairman Park walked into Li You's office, the lights were not on. He did not dare to look around this office that decided the fate of countless people. He just stood there silently with his head down.

Li You was only wearing an unbuttoned shirt, with the casually open collar revealing some of his middle muscles.

He walked over to the black leather sofa and sat down, leaning back on the large sofa with a casual posture, "President Park has been waiting for a long time."

"Thank you for your concern, President Nim."

Li You turned on a floor lamp next to the sofa, and there was finally some soft light in the room. Even though this light added a bit of warmth to the office, Chairman Park was still overwhelmed by an indescribable feeling of oppression.

Chairman Park, who was standing in front of Li You, didn't dare to raise his head. He just bowed his head, with anxiety written all over his face.

His heart pounding was the norm. If it were Kim Gun-young and Joo Mong-young, Chairman Park would never have acted like this.

After all, these two people are still serious businessmen, and most of their transactions are business competition, so there is still room for bargaining.

As for Li You's humility and obedience at this moment, it is the only way to survive.

"Regarding the hotel matter," Li You stood up and poured himself a glass of wine, half-closing his eyes and expressionless, "President Park should have an idea?"

He did not pour wine for Chairman Park, but just raised his eyebrows and looked at Chairman Park who was bending over.

Park Chan-young is sixty-six years old this year. He is still in good health and not hunchbacked.

After hearing what Li You said, Park Chanrong, who had experienced a lot of ups and downs, naturally knew what Li You meant.

He took a deep breath and said, "I came here today precisely to talk to President Nim and submit my cooperation proposal."

Li You shook the wine glass. It tasted a little worse without ice cubes. He glanced at Park Chan-young and said, "I'll give you ten minutes to come up with a plan."

"I understand what you mean," Park Chan-young swallowed, but he was still a little slow and didn't immediately figure out where to start.

After a while, Park Chan-young took a deep breath and his voice became calmer. He summarized for a long time and finally came up with this sentence, "I will run the hotel for President Nim."

"Gone?"

"That's all," Park Chan-young took another deep breath, "My cooperation with you is under your jurisdiction, and the rest is up to you to decide."

People are indeed smart when they get old. Li You handed him the wine glass and said, "Fill it up and add two ice cubes for me."

After Park Chan-young finished adding ice cubes and filling the wine, Li You took a sip of the wine and said, "Originally, I wanted to make you disappear."

Li You said casually without any concealment, "But since you are so sensible, there is no need for me to be aggressive."

"You won't lose much from what you can earn now," Li You waved his hand. In the future, the hotel will be included in Kinmen Industry, and you will have a share of Kinmen Industry's dividends."

Park Chan-young took a breath and said, "Kinmen Industrial?"

Kinmen Industry is the underground force of the Korean Peninsula. Park Chan-young suddenly felt that there was nothing wrong with being a dog. Just by hearing the name, he knew that his dividend would not only be stable but also large.

As for rights
Since he has come to Li You to be a dog, it is natural that he should have all the rights that those people had in the past.

"Alright," Li You took a sip of wine without looking at him again, "If you stay here and breathe, you'll become a vacuum cleaner."

"President Nim, I will go back and prepare now," Park Chan-young bowed repeatedly.

Seeing President Park about to leave, Li You suddenly asked, "Does President Park feel wronged?"

Chairman Park stopped dead in his tracks and turned around in fear, not knowing what this meant at the last minute. "Chairman Nim, I absolutely don't have such an idea!"

"Tsk..." Li You sat on the sofa for a while, drank the wine in the glass, smiled and waved his hand, "President Park, don't be nervous, it's just a joke."

Chairman Park waited for him to finish speaking before opening the door and leaving, disappearing at the end of the corridor in an instant.

Li You put the empty wine glass back on the table and used telekinesis to replace the wine bottle. When he heard that there was no movement outside, Jun Ji-hyun came out wearing one of Li You's new shirts.

There was no change of clothes for her here, so she could only find some of Li You's clothes from the closet in the lounge and put them on.

She was wearing a slightly wrinkled white shirt, but it was still buttoned. The height difference between her and Li You was just enough for the white cloth to cover her thighs. Her long, white legs swayed with her steps.

Li You took a look at her outfit. She was just wearing one of his shirts. He was somewhat surprised at her boldness.

Li You hugged her and fed her a sip of wine.

She didn't say anything either, just leaned on Li You's shoulder, blinked her eyes, and looked at Li You silently, and Li You gave her a sip of wine from time to time.

She could sit still, but the problem was that she was sitting in Li You's arms and had nothing on except a shirt.

After all, actors are actors. When it comes to seducing people, they are much better than those "female presidents".

Li You didn't even wait for her to swallow the wine in her mouth. He held her tightly in his arms and went to the lounge.

In late August, the various branches in Kinmen, USA, began to recruit employees one after another. In fact, they were not responsible for many things, and most of them were to connect the US business with the Kinmen company in the Korean Peninsula.

Only Golden Gate Entertainment in the United States is more valued by Li You. After all, it is in Los Angeles, which is naturally convenient.

During this period, Li You took Ding Qing on a trip to and from Los Angeles, mainly to interview professional managers and confirm direct employees who would be stationed in the United States.

"The structure of Kinmen is relatively simple," Li You complained to Ding Qing on the flight back to the Korean Peninsula, "but because the yellow race is the most discriminated race in this country, fortunately, with the Kinmen security of the United States, Kinmen will not suffer these things."

"I opened a branch in the United States not for the purpose of building connections, nor for the purpose of making huge profits," Li You looked at Ding Qing who was listening silently, "That's not realistic."

"It's about connecting with some important people through them as much as possible."

Strictly speaking, American Kinmen companies are newly established companies that are registered to facilitate the Kinmen Group's business in the United States.

If we really want to talk about how deep the relationship with Kinmen Group is, it is that Kinmen Group owns the majority of their shares and has controlling rights.

This is a new chain of interests that needs to be well maintained.

After the plane landed, Li You did not stop, but took Ding Qing directly to the private hangar of Incheon International Airport.

In August, he went to the United States to complete the final procedures, and the private jet he purchased from Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation was delivered.

The hangar door was slowly opened, and Li You took a closer look at the appearance of the Gulfstream G550.

The fuselage is painted silver and white, with flat wings.

This is an ultra-long-range business jet launched by Gulfstream Aerospace of the United States in 2003. It is also the first business jet in human flight history that can fly directly from Seoul to Tokyo.

In addition to being the business jet with the longest range and the best performance, it is also the luxury business jet with the most spacious cabin and the best comfort. Before Li You, dozens of wealthy people had already bought it as a private jet.

Ding Qing followed Li You and walked into Li You's private plane in amazement. Even the crew had already been hired, and they were all top in the industry.

Anyway, the pilot, co-pilot, mechanic and navigator included in the flight crew are all the best from abroad. As it involves safety issues, they still have to be selected carefully.

Even he chose this aircraft because it is popular not only in the civilian field but also in the military field.

For example, the U.S. Air Force, Navy, and Army have all purchased the G550 as a VIP transport and special mission aircraft, making it the most trustworthy model currently available.

The flight stewards and stewardesses in the cabin crew were all Koreans with clean identities.

Li You took Ding Qing to visit the largest cabin and most advanced cockpit of this business jet.

"President nim," the flight attendant was a very calm middle-aged woman named Jin. She would be the one to coordinate and make arrangements with the airport from now on.

Li You nodded and looked at the cabin crew standing behind her with her hands behind her back. There were not many crew members, but they were basically all professional and customized. They all looked beautiful, but most of them already had several years of work experience.

If civil aviation flight attendants are one in ten thousand, then the flight attendants on business jets are one in a million.

"When I need to go out in the future, a certain phone number on the list I gave you will ring," Li You told them, "You must be ready to fly at any time."

Li You didn't say much, even though he was a beneficiary of the hierarchy on the Korean Peninsula.

Only after he left did the flight attendants breathe a sigh of relief and pat their chests with emotion.

Phrases like 'the aura of a big shot' kept coming up.

The middle-aged woman also breathed a sigh of relief. "We have now signed a two-year contract. During these two years, regardless of whether President Nim flies or how many times he flies, his salary and bonus will be paid."

"Just be content with having a good boss," she carefully told them, "and don't think about those trivial things. Just do your job well. The private crew must come to the airport every day to be on standby. Only then can we justify the triple salary that Chairman Li gave us."

Not long after Li You returned to Kinmen Group, he was invited again.

Someone has been waiting for Li You for several days, and he finally returned from the United States.

"Jo Tae-seop?" Li You raised his eyebrows. He glanced at the invitation letter handed over by his secretary. "This is..."

He opened the invitation letter, which contained Cho Tae-seop inviting him to attend a lecture for students at Seoul National University.

"This guy Zhao Taixie," Li You squinted his eyes and thought of this face he hadn't seen for a long time.

He and Zhao Taixie had attended such lectures many times before. Zhao Taixie's main purpose was to win over those students who might make a difference in the judicial field in the future. He even established a secret society in the university.

Li You has been very busy in the past two years and has no time to take care of him.

He is now very curious whether the male protagonist in "My Life Again" will be reborn?

If so, it will be next year.

As far as he knows, the messenger from the underworld who asked the male protagonist to start over should be Han Ji-hyun, the secretary beside Zhao Tae-seop who will be killed by Zhao Tae-seop in the future.

Li Youke still remembers the walkie-talkie in "Signal" that can connect the past, present and future.

He opened the bottom drawer and took out the intercom that had been out of service for a long time.

There was a lot of dust on it, and it hadn't been used for a long time. "My Life Again." Li You thought about it, then looked at the secretary and left the invitation on the table, "I'll go over there."

"Yes, President Nim."

Li You waved his hand and the secretary left tactfully.

He picked up his phone and looked at the group chat where the top executives of the Kinmen Group were spamming.

This software is a group chat software developed by Kinmen Electronics specifically for the Kinmen Group. It can be called the 'Kinmen version of DingTalk'.

Li You almost couldn't hold back his expression when he saw Ding Qing promoting private jets and a large number of supporting actors.

"You bunch of bumpkins, I've never seen anything like this in my life"

"."

"@DouRi, come to my office."

In the group chat, except for Cui Dou Ri who replied immediately, everyone else was silent for a while.

"@Chairman, do you think I'm right?" After Ding Qing reacted, he asked Li You to testify for him with a proud look on his face.

Li You shook his head and ignored Ding Qing, whose online name was always weird and randomly changed.

Cui Dou Ri arrived not long after. After all, the headquarters of Kinmen Industrial was also in the Jiangnan District 3, which was actually very close.

"President nim."

"Dou Ri," Li You pressed his hand, "Sit down."

Cui Douri sat down and straightened up with some expectation, "President Nim, did you make arrangements for the hotel some time ago?"

Li You nodded. Not many people knew about this. But now, Hilton's low-end hotels in various places, a total of ten hotels, have begun to buy land and build. However, they are not built from scratch. Most of them are acquired local hotels and then renovated. According to the Hilton Group's requirements for low-end brands, the construction and decoration can be completed in a maximum of half a year.

"There are 14 Hilton Hotels in total," Li You tapped his fingers, "This Hilton Hotel in Seoul is not going to be used. We will still use Kinmen Industrial as our headquarters."

"I hope you don't send any idiots to Hilton in other places," Li You glanced at Cui Dou Ri, "They are equivalent to our frontier officials."

"I understand," Cui Dou Ri patted his chest to show his determination, saying that he would do his best to let them build an iron bucket formation with the hotel as the center.

The reason why Li You made such arrangements is actually very simple.

Human energy is limited, even he is the same.

Since [Domination] came into effect, in conjunction with [Dark Glory], the loyalty of various places has indeed been raised, but too many things that do not need to be reported have been reported one by one because the loyalty is too high.

Li You needs such a group of loyal frontier officials to "govern" the local underground world for him.

This matter was also equivalent to dividing Choi Doo-il's power, but Choi Doo-il was not dissatisfied at all.

Choi Doo-il is the only person under Li You who cannot be whitewashed. After all, he was the one who managed the gray industry in Kinmen before, and the middle and upper classes of the entire Korean Peninsula knew about it. Besides, apart from him, Jeon Jae-joon was the only one doing the dirty work, but Jeon Jae-joon at least had the title of "security".

Cui Dou Ri himself is also open-minded and doesn't have so many concerns. He just focuses on his work.

"And about Jeju Island," Li You threw him a cigarette and said calmly, "Who do you think is more suitable to go there?"

Jeju Island is a relatively special place. It is currently in a period of wild growth. If we just send someone there, I'm afraid we won't be able to control it.

Cui Douri smiled bitterly, "President, who else could it be? Long Da has been there for several years, he must be the most suitable."

Li You nodded. In fact, he also thought that Jeju Island would be best managed by Yongdae, but no matter how good a place is, it can't compare to Seoul. Yongdae just got married this year and is said to be in the pregnancy preparation period.
There is also Lee Ja-sung, who stays in Suriname and continuously supplies oil to the Korean Peninsula.

Although I have come back many times in the past two years, I have been abroad most of the time.

There was also Xu Zhonglie who helped him smuggle tobacco in Vietnam. Tobacco also brought him a lot of profits, but he always kept them abroad.
For the first time, Li You hesitated.

In this cultural circle, 'leaving descendants' is something these men attach great importance to. As those who followed him in the beginning started to start families, the originally well-planned management team began to fall into a situation where there was no one to send.

They were absolutely loyal to Li You, and Li You was unwilling to fall into the situation of "I" and force them to do things.

"Are there any new candidates?" Li You shook his head and threw out the idea in his mind. "It's okay even if the performance is a little worse, but we must be cautious. Jeju Island is now in a stage of wild economic growth, and we must not let any major chaos happen."

"Why not let James come?" Cui Dou Ri thought for a long time and finally thought of a candidate.

"He went to Kinmen Talent Development Institute with me for further studies before," Cui Douri said with a wry smile, "He studied very seriously and was very strict with his schedule."

"He is such a serious and studious person," Choi Do-il recalled how James sat next to him and studied hard while he was sleeping, "there shouldn't be any trouble."

"James?" Li You's eyes lit up. This is indeed a good candidate.

Although he is not a professional manager, he is very smart and works rigorously and seriously. There has been no criminal plan that needs him to plan recently.

Li You clapped his hands. "He is really suitable. He is quiet and serious about his work. He will have good cooperation with the officials of Jeju Island."

"Thank you for your reminder, Dou Ri."

When Cui Dou Ri left, his steps became lighter.

Li You shook his head and opened his phone to check. Ding Qing's message was still flooding the high-level chat group.

Two days later, Li You was invited to Seoul National University to see what Zhao Taixie was up to.

"President Li," Zhao Taixie stood at the door to greet him as usual. This time, the students nearby were very well-mannered and did not surround him.

Li You took the hand he extended, shook it gently, and then let go, "Councilman Zhao, long time no see."

"Please follow me, Chairman Lee," Cho Tae-seop personally led the way to the lecture hall where the lecture would be held.

After they walked into the classroom, the students became much quieter.

Li You sat in the audience, watching Zhao Taixie perform on the stage, and occasionally stood up to greet the students.

"President Li is here for this lecture, I believe everyone will come."

"."

"I believe in everyone!"

In short, Zhao Taixie’s lecture highlights the idea of ​​trusting everyone.

There is no other meaning, the main point is to believe.

Even when he and Li You were in an empty office, Zhao Taixie still wanted to say a few words to ignite the passion.

However, looking at Li You's gaze, Zhao Taixie pursed his lips twice and gave up continuing this argument.

Li You looked at Zhao Taixie calmly, "Councilman Zhao asked me to come here, what's the matter?"

Zhao Taixie smiled and said, "Of course."

“Next year’s presidential election.”

Li You raised his eyebrows and said slowly, "Councilman Zhao is interested in this position?"

Zhao Taixie smiled and shook his head, "Why would I be interested in this position?"

He waved his hand. "It's not that I'm worried about the election. Congressman Choi Chang-je and Mayor Lee Myung-hak are both running for election. I'm also very conflicted within the Grand National Party. I'm afraid that what happened in the previous election will happen again."

Li You narrowed his eyes. Li Lianchang is now the president, but the last election was due to competition within the Grand National Party, which led to the election of members of other parties.

However, Lee You did not believe that Cho Tae-seop had such a simple purpose. "I didn't expect that Congressman Cho would still be the first congressman to speak out for the interests of the Grand National Party at this time."

Zhao Taixie sighed, "That's why they came to Chairman Li. These two people want to run for election, and Chairman Li has a close relationship with them."

"Everyone knows it, but no one reminded President Li like I did."

"Then should I also thank Councillor Zhao?"

"You are Welcome."

Looking at Cho Tae-seop who was licking the old man's face, Li You could be considered to have figured out his thoughts. He came here to test him by claiming to do good for the Grand National Party.

Unfortunately, he had already made the decision on this matter.

Li Mingxue is different from Lee Myung-bak in his previous life. He had a ten-year political career before becoming mayor, and his foundation is too shallow.

On the contrary, Choi Chang-e, who served as mayor of Seoul for four years and as a member of the National Assembly for another four years, is the right candidate.

As for Lee Myung-hak, at least for now, he still listens to Lee You's advice and decides to serve another term as mayor of Seoul and continue his measures.

Li You will give him a new chance.

After Li You left, the taciturn female secretary Han Zhixian entered the office to see Zhao Taixie. Zhao Taixie shook his head and sighed, flipping through the pages of the book on the table, "I guess this Chairman Li has already made arrangements."

"Congressman Nim," Han Zhixian hesitated, "Will your actions arouse his vigilance?"

After all, Li You wanted to have a conversation with Zhao Taixie, but he came out after just a few minutes. It was obvious that the two of them were not on the same page.

"No," Zhao Taixie shook his head, "because it has been noticed a long time ago."

"I don't know why," Cho Tae-seop said absentmindedly, "but Chairman Lee may be the first person on the Korean Peninsula to notice my ambitions."

Zhao Taixie didn't know why Li You could see through him, so he did what he did today, taking advantage of the matter between Cui Changdi and Li Mingxue to take the initiative to test Li You.

The two were still discussing Li You's matter.

Li You himself has already forgotten about them, and now they are indeed not that important to Li You.

After taking a car to the agreed restaurant, Li You went upstairs and quickly arrived at the agreed private room.

"Aunt, Lieutenant General," Li You greeted Li Liuhua and Yin Jijun.

"Pearl."

"Long time no see, Li You," Yin Jijun, who had just returned from Afghanistan a few days ago, walked up to Li You and hugged him.

"Just call me uncle," he reminded, "You and Liu Hua have recognized each other as relatives in the Li family of Quanzhou, don't forget it."

Li Liuhua smiled gently at the side.

"Yes," Li You nodded. Li Liuhua had indeed helped him a lot by introducing him to the Jeonju Li family.

Li You looked at the dark-skinned Yin Jijun and laughed out loud, "Is Afghanistan really that hot?"

"." Yin Jijun patted his shoulder speechlessly and sat back in his seat. "Go and get some sun for yourself and you'll know."

"Brother Li You," Yin Mingzhu is grown up now, and is about to enter the first year of high school. She is becoming more and more beautiful, but her personality is not much better than when she was a child.

Thanks to the fact that when Yoon Ji-jun was away, Li You would send people to solve any problems between the mother and daughter, and Yoon Mingzhu was quite familiar with him.

"What are you doing?" Li You sat in his seat, watching the 15-year-old Yin Mingzhu busying around, "Is there anything you want to ask me for?"

Seeing that her thoughts were revealed and the parents opposite were still looking at her with a smile, Yin Mingzhu felt a little embarrassed.

"That's right." She hesitated for a moment, "I want to join the army in the future, but they all disagree."

Li You hissed. I didn't expect that.
She didn’t fall in love with Seo Dayong, who was a dozen years older than her, like in “Descendants of the Sun”, but still wanted to join the army?

Li You glanced at Yin Jijun calmly and found that he smiled at him helplessly.

Li You thought about the wording and said, "Pearl."
