Korean TV series: King of Peninsula 1997

Chapter 62: Beidamen Li Zicheng
Time flies, and in a blink of an eye it is July of 1998, and summer is here again.

Li Youmo was on summer vacation, and her father came by car to pick her up from Seoul.

After the major operation to eliminate the wild dogs, all the stores of Jiangnan Industrial began to operate peacefully, as if they had really become a well-behaved enterprise.

In the past, some members of small forces in the surrounding areas were ignorant and would cause trouble when they went to nightclubs in the Jiangnan District. Jiangnan Industrial had to have people specially assigned to maintain order.

In the past few months, these people have been playing and walking in accordance with the rules when they arrived in Jiangnan, and even there are no drunk people acting crazy.

On this day, the small building of Jiangnan Industrial welcomed a special guest. He wore a baseball cap with the brim pulled down and secretly came to the headquarters of Jiangnan Industrial.

When Li You parked his car in the morning and was about to go upstairs, the man suddenly appeared.

"President Li?"

Choi Doo-il, who was standing by, still had to serve as Lee Woo's driver in addition to his own work in Seocho District.

He stood in front of Li You, separating him from the uninvited man.

"who are you?"

"It looks like it's President Li." The man's face was expressionless, as cold as a paralyzed face. "I'm really sorry for disturbing you so hastily."

"I'm Li Zicheng from Beidaemun," Li Zicheng lowered his head, "I want to cooperate with President Li."

"Cooperation?" Li You knew who he was. "What identity do you use to cooperate with me?"

Li Zicheng looked at his surroundings and frowned.

"Don't worry," Li You motioned Choi Doo-il to look around, "Just tell me if you have anything to say."

"I remember you were following Ding Qing from Beidamen, right? What's going on with Ding Qing?"

Li Zicheng was startled and he looked up into Li You's eyes.

"It seems that President Li knows us well," he said seriously, "Brother Ding wants to see you."

"Many people come to meet me every day," Li You waved his hand, "There must be a specific reason."

"President Li should know our situation."

"I don't know," Li You covered Li Zicheng's mouth.

Li Zicheng didn't react, and then began to explain, "We have a complicated faction, and I'm here on behalf of Brother Ding this time."

"I came here to borrow money."

He looked directly into Li You's eyes and said, "I should have let Brother Ding talk to you in person, but since you asked, I'll tell you straight away."

"How much?"

Li Zicheng was silent for a while, "One billion."

Cui Dou Ri next to him sneered.

"What about the conditions?" Li You narrowed his eyes. In "New World", there was no mention of Ding Qing's rise to power, and he did not have the ability to predict the future.

Li Zicheng seemed to have made up his mind. "From now on, Chairman Li can take 10% of the revenue from the shops in Beidamen. Of course, the 1 billion plus interest will be paid."

"Ding Qing can make the decision?"

"With these ten billion, it can be done."

“How many stores are there in Beidamen and how much can they earn?”

"Bukdaemun Market is the most prosperous area in Seoul," Li Zicheng is very familiar with these contents and can say them out loud, "There are five streets divided from one market."

"The money that the North Gate Market brings us," Li Zicheng turned his head and looked around, "is enough to equal the revenue of the two districts of Gangnam and Seocho!"

What Li Zicheng said is indeed right.

The five streets of Bukdaemun Market are home to nearly twenty large shopping malls and more than ten thousand stores. It became the most important economic center of Seoul more than a decade ago.

Although they did not take over the entire Beidaemun market, as the only security company in Beidaemun, they could make a lot of money just from protection fees, not to mention those shady stores they operated themselves.

Without the Sky Eye, North Gate is indeed the most valuable area in Seoul. "One percent?" Li You lit a cigarette for himself. "This one percent will be hundreds of millions of won every month. Can Ding Qing decide?"

He tried his best to get some words out of him, but Li Zicheng just nodded silently.

"Isn't Wu Daxun fair to you?"

This is indeed the case. Li Zicheng was undercover for two years and became best friends with Ding Qing. He also witnessed Ding Qing's climb from a low-level gangster to the position of the second-in-command of Peking University.

Wu Daxun, the president of Beidaemun, is an out-and-out villain.

He had already made a fortune, but facing the increasingly powerful Ding Qing, he was unwilling to give away so much money.

The president's suspicion led to Ding Qing's group being isolated at the North Gate, and Ding Qing could not tolerate it.

Li You really didn't know the inside story, but Ding Qing probably understood his abilities, and Ding Qing was a man of integrity.

In the original work, Ding Qing became the president of Beidaemun a year later, near the millennium. The following year, he co-founded Kinmen with several other presidents and became the third in command.

In the following years, he gained control of some of the real power in Kinmen and became the de facto second-in-command of Kinmen.

Now he has to reorganize the North Gate in advance, and the resources he has are probably not enough.

"Why would he think of asking you to borrow money from me? And give you such a big share of the profits?"

Li Zicheng was still thinking about what happened inside the North Gate. When he was interrupted, he quickly continued, "I read about Chairman Li's deeds in the newspaper. Brother Ding admires Chairman Li very much."

It would be strange if Ding Qing really thought so.

"When do you want it?" Li You asked seriously.

Cui Dou Ri next to him was confused, not knowing why his own president decided to lend out 1 billion.

Even Li Zicheng looked surprised, "President Li doesn't want collateral?"

"I guess you don't have any collateral, it's just a worthless store like a game hall," Li You waved his hand, "I'll pay for it personally, just consider it a bet."

Li Zicheng hesitated for a moment and nodded, "When will I get the money?"

"Tonight is fine," Li You stared at him, "Ding Qing wanted to see me, right? Let's meet at eight o'clock tonight."

"I will prepare the money. Whether he can take it or not depends on his ability."

He was silent for a long time and then nodded.

Before coming here, Li Zicheng never thought it would be so smooth.

After all, they are all companies in Seoul, and there is a natural competition between them. However, the man in front of her did not seem to have considered that it would bring trouble to her, and he was naturally confident.

"The meeting place tonight is set at the diners in the Jiangnan District," Li You looked at him, "the industry of Jiangnan Industry."

He wanted to see if Ding Qing had the courage.

The original work is the original work, reality is reality, Ding Qing needs to see it with his own eyes.

"Okay, I'll tell Brother Ding."

Li Zicheng drove a shabby silver car back to the game hall which was the base of Ding Qing's faction.

Ding Qing was holding a cigarette in his mouth, and was pressing the buttons of the game console with excitement on his face, "Haha! Die!"

After beating the AI ​​on the game console, Ding Qing turned around excitedly and said, "Hey! I'm back. How was my game this time?"

Seeing Ding Qing proudly showing off his achievements, Li Zicheng poured cold water on him, "This is the simplest human-machine game."

"Ah!" Ding Qing made a gesture to hit Li Zicheng, but looking at Li Zicheng's expressionless face, he lost the mood to scare him.

He muttered, "You have no expression all day long."

"How's it going? Did you see anyone?"
