Korean TV series: King of Peninsula 1997

Chapter 589 Political and Business War
Within two days, people came one after another to congratulate Li You's family on their new home, and presented gifts one after another. Even Zhu Mengyong, who was in Busan and busy seizing Daying Haiyang, sent someone to deliver a gift.

Most of the gifts are expensive antique paintings with collectible value, and almost no one gives consumables.

The situation on the Korean Peninsula is becoming increasingly turbulent.

The Zhu brothers in Daying used Busan as their battlefield and fought fiercely using public opinion and stocks as their weapons.

The presidential election is now on track, and the eight-month presidential campaign has begun.

From a general perspective, Emperor Cui Chang, who was "supported" by Li You, was undoubtedly the leader in the hearts of the people.

Li Lianchang's excellent governance during his term and his efforts to distance himself from the United States made the people quite satisfied.

Although they were somewhat dissatisfied with not driving out the garrison, Li Lianchang at least gave them some signs of standing up.

Not to mention, with the support of Kinmen Group, Li Lianchang cleaned up the chaos in the real estate market on the Korean Peninsula and suppressed a large number of real estate speculators.

Although the gap between the rich and the poor still exists, it is because the people at the top have raised the ceiling, and in fact people's lives have been improved again.

There are also public security, entertainment, and tourism.
Li Lianchang was not a pioneering king, but he brought about some changes while maintaining the status quo and did a good job.

Judging from the monster-like styles of previous great leaders on the Korean Peninsula, Li Lianchang was at least one of the top four presidents.

When he clearly supported Emperor Choi Chang-eun of his Grand National Party, many people followed his banner and defected to him.

The presidential election has barely begun, and some people are already being left behind.

There are only three candidates for the presidency in this election: Ju Mong-joon of the Ju family, the Democratic Party's main force for thousands of years; Roh Moo-hyun of the Open National Party; and Choi Chang-eul of the Grand National Party.

Because of the Daying Ocean incident, Zhu Mengzhun secretly reached an agreement with Li You, although he was not sure whether this guy could keep his promise.

But both Choi Changdi and Lee You focused on fighting against Roh Moo-hyun.

It’s strange to say, in the last election, Li Lianchang ran against Roh Moo-hyun, and he is still the one in this election.

Although Roh Moo-hyun failed to become president, he was no longer the fragile guy. Instead, he evolved into an indestructible cockroach and started to attack again and again.

However, despite being tenacious, the Open Kuomintang is really untrustworthy.

The Grand National Party benefited from the rise of new party leader Park Geum-sun. The party organization was ordered to be reorganized by this female party leader, and it was actively preparing for the general election and providing due support to Emperor Choi Chang.

But the situation is different with the open Kuomintang.

In fact, the KMT has gained a lot of support because too many people do not want to see Choi Chang-ti
To be precise, they didn't want to see Li You succeed again.

So two years ago, in the 17th National Assembly election in 2004, the Open National Party won a landslide victory, winning a total of 152 seats.

You know, there are only 300 seats in the Korean Peninsula National Assembly, and they won more than half of them.

However, instead of uniting as one to suppress the Grand National Party, the Open National Party is experiencing increasing internal chaos.

The biggest problem is that no one is capable of leading this opposition party of as many as 152 members of parliament. If it were the ruling party, there might still be a chance.

In the past two years, the current situation is that no matter what the Kuomintang wants to do, conflicts will arise within it if it opens up.

Just looking at the general direction, there are three reformist forces within the Open Kuomintang, namely the Cheon Jeong-pei faction and the Kim Geum-tae faction, as well as the ruling party leader of the Chung Dong-young faction, and two moderate conservative factions. They are opposed to each other and support different policies.

Roh Moo-hyun was in favor of reform, but even within the pro-Roh faction, several factions emerged, and each even retained its own political views.

The Open Kuomintang has a large number of members, and there are more than a dozen factions within the party that exist only in the form of members' meetings. The number of large factions can even reach six or seven. The lack of a capable party leader has led to a vicious cycle of instability in their leadership and internal chaos.

This puts them in serious internal distress.

Because of the numerous internal factions, the direct result is
The Open Kuomintang suffered an avalanche-like defeat in the fourth local simultaneous elections in 2006.

The ruling Grand National Party swept all the heads of local governments in Seoul, Busan, Daegu, Incheon, Daejeon, Ulsan, Gyeonggi Province, Gangwon Province, Chungcheong Province, and Gyeongsang Province, winning an overwhelming victory, which means that the speakers of these local councils are all from the Grand National Party.

The Open National Party barely managed to retain one seat in North Jeolla Province, while the Millennium Democratic Party also won South Jeolla Province and Gwangju. Although the Jeju Special Self-Governing Province was nominally elected by an independent candidate who had broken away from the Grand National Party, it is actually still closely linked to the Grand National Party.

The election results for local government heads and local council members were even more disastrous. The Grand National Party, which won the local elections, has officially entered a period of high support since last year, even before the presidential primary began.

There is a saying within the Grand National Party that "winning the primary election means winning the general election."

Chung Dong-young, who was in charge of the local elections, took responsibility for the election failure and resigned as party leader, opening the KMT to further chaos, and it can be said that it was on the verge of collapse.

As the Open Kuomintang suffered a series of disastrous defeats in elections, a sense of crisis spread among members of parliament that they could no longer use the Open Kuomintang as a sign.

To know.
It is quite common for members of the Korean Peninsula's parliament to change their parties.

If it weren't for the growing calls in Congress for the anti-GNP forces to unite in order to win the 2007 general election, the Open National Party would probably have collapsed earlier.

This is just what happened last year. This year, the Open Kuomintang
At this point, the collapse of the KMT was irreversible.

As of January, nineteen lawmakers have resigned from the party, reducing the number of seats of the Open Kuomintang to 133.

These lawmakers formed a group outside the party to try to create a new reform party, and on the last day of January, under the influence of Roh Moo-hyun, a reformist lawmaker was elected as the new party leader.

So after entering February, 23 members of the conservative group within the party withdrew, marking the first large-scale withdrawal incident.

The Open National Party's seats were reduced to 110, and it lost its position as the largest party in Congress to the Grand National Party, which had 127 seats.

Back in March now, Li You can easily say that the situation has really been largely determined.

Although due to his intervention, Lee Myung-hak of the Grand National Party, who was supposed to participate in this election, was replaced by Choi Chang-je, the progress was almost the same. The two had already stabilized the election situation before the primary election began.

As one party finishes its performance, another party takes the stage. While Li You was devoting his energy to politics and promoting Emperor Cui Chang's election campaign, new progress was also made in the affairs of Daying Ocean.

Zhu Mengyong's elder brother, Zhu Mengyuan, the executive officer of Daying Ocean, appeared in public for the first time, but his expression was very resolute. "Daying Ocean is indeed in a loss-making state, but it is currently suffering from serious illegal business attacks. I am ready to file a lawsuit with the Supreme Prosecutor's Office of the Korean Peninsula. The procedures and procedures are legal and compliant. I hope that the Supreme Prosecutor's Office can also send people to Daying Ocean headquarters to investigate.

Of course, Daying Ocean’s management is doing its best to help Daying Ocean get back on track, and we accept supervision from all sectors of society, but due to the suppression of Daying Group, Daying Ocean cannot develop in a formal and legitimate way.”

Zhu Mengyuan, with a mocking expression, mercilessly peeled off the last layer of skin, letting the people of the Korean Peninsula come to see the joke of the Zhu family in Daying. "Why is this behavior of deliberately suppressing closely related companies?"

When facing questions from reporters, Zhu Mengyong, chairman of Daying Group, also did not evade or give in, and responded to his elder brother sarcastically, "Daying Ocean has been an inseparable part of Daying Group since its establishment, but now it is being used for personal gain, resulting in a continuous expansion of deficits. The regressive effect it has had on the development and economy of Busan and even the Korean Peninsula is obvious to all.

All the data of Daying Ocean are now available on record. I don't know why some people are so stubborn, or are they determined to completely destroy the shipping industry on the Korean Peninsula before they are satisfied?"

The war between the political and business circles is going on in full swing. The people are overwhelmed with all the messy news.

But after entering April, Li You became the one who felt relaxed.

However, he did not expect that Jin Jianying would come to see Li You in person.

As the chairman of Tianxia Group, Jin Jianying has now given up most of his power, but still retains the ability to take it back at any time.

Jin Jianying was invited to Li You's study and sat down opposite Li You tremblingly.

This president who used to be full of energy has now become an old man in his twilight years.

He is even younger than Chen Yangzhe was at that time, but his health condition is already so poor.

Jin Jianying was truly an unexpected visitor to Li You.

Tianxia Group and Kinmen Group can now be said to be coexisting peacefully in Seoul. There is no conflict of interest at all. The two sides have even reached corresponding cooperation in oil and transportation. They are considered to be excellent partners of each other, and the financial resources brought to both sides are also rolling in.

Although the Tianxia Group and the Kinmen Group may not necessarily be enemies or friends in the future, everyone hopes to have the opportunity to expand further.

However, Jin Jianying's purpose of coming this time was not to seek opportunities for expansion.

He knew how bad his physical condition was. He had an operation some time ago and his condition had improved a little. With the help of drugs, he could live for a few more years, which extended his life. However, his energy was getting worse and worse.

Do you want to use this little energy to deal with Li You, who is as strong as an ox in front of you?

Jin Jianying felt that she was not crazy yet.

But he couldn't deal with Li You. Jin Jianying was really interested in Daying Group and Daying Ocean, especially when someone contacted him.

"President Jin's visit this time must be for something important," Li You and Jin Jianying were the only ones left in the study after a brief greeting. "Why not just talk about it directly?"

Looking at the determined Li You, Jin Jianying smiled with a dry face, "It's about Daying Ocean."

"Daying Ocean."

As Li You expected, Jin Jianying would certainly be attracted by the benefits here.

However, when it comes to being competitive against Daying Ocean, Jin Jianying is really not qualified enough.

It’s not just because Jin Jianying is in a bad state now, but also because Tianxia Group has almost no experience in the two major industries of shipping and shipbuilding.

If Kinmen wants to move, it will rely on Kinmen Trade's qualifications in shipping to divide the profits from Daying Ocean. However, if Tianxia Group wants to divide the profits, the problem is where to start.

"President Jin is honest," Li You looked at Jin Jianying calmly, "but President Jin should know that whether it is bankruptcy reorganization or bankruptcy liquidation, it will be difficult for Tianxia Group to gain anything in this regard."

"Yes," Jin Jianying nodded and apologetically pushed away the tea that Li You poured for her. "I'm not feeling well. This is on the list of prohibited drinks given to me by the doctor."

He paused and said, "To be honest with you, Chairman Li, it was actually Zhu Mengyuan, the major shareholder of Daying Ocean, who contacted me quietly three days ago and asked me if I had any ideas about Daying Ocean."

Li You looked up at him and raised his eyebrows slightly.

Jin Jianying didn't look at Li You's eyes. "I have been ignoring him for the past three days. I neither rejected him nor promised him."

"What does President Li think he wants?"

If Zhu Mengyuan, the major shareholder of Daying Ocean, helps, Tianxia Group will have a chance to take over.

Once Tianxia Group takes over Daying Ocean, it will be able to make up for Tianxia Group's shortcomings in logistics and manufacturing.

Although Tianxia Group will also be impacted by the financial crisis, due to its industrial structure, the impact will not be significant.

Its own assets can also support Daying Haiyang, which is on the verge of bankruptcy.

Jin Jianying couldn't help but be moved, because from her perspective, she did not find any financial crisis.

There won't be even that little bit of impact.

The only thing to worry about is how to deal with the crazy attack of the big camp group.

After all, Daying Haiyang itself is a part of the Daying Group. No matter how fierce the fight between the two brothers is, it is an internal affair of the Zhu family.

Once Tianxia Group intervenes, those originally wavering fence-sitters and the brothers of the former chairman Zhu Rongyi will immediately unite to deal with Tianxia Group.

Not to mention Zhu Mengyong, who had longed for Daying Ocean for a long time. Li You could imagine how completely crazy he would be if he lost Daying Ocean.

As for Jin Jianying's question, what does Zhu Mengyuan want?
Li You wasn't sure.

If Zhu Mengyuan was an emotional person, then Li You could guess that he was trying to take revenge on his second brother Zhu Mengyong.

But Zhu Mengyuan is a very rational person who is very good at scheming and scheming, which is very strange.

Li You shook his head and looked at Jin Jianying, "I don't know."
