Korean TV series: King of Peninsula 1997

Chapter 646: Liquidation, New Target
"It seems that they think I'm a pushover," Li You twirled the pen in his hand, "and they didn't even try to hide it."

The class in the High Table is indeed "sacred", but some people do not agree with it. Moreover, there are differences between "sacredness". It only takes a more "sacred" contract to make those world-class killers violate the class. He is also from the Korean Peninsula, so it is natural for him to be looked down upon.

"You didn't follow the rules and told me everything," Li You said with a smile on his face, "If those killers abide by the contract, they would never betray their 'honor' even if they die."

"I do care about honor, but I care about my daughter more," Kane lowered his head.

"You want me to save your daughter?" Li You threw the pen at him, but he grabbed it.

Kane bent down and put the pen back into the pen holder, "Yes."

"I am cursed and will never be able to escape," Kane said truthfully, "but my daughter is innocent. If I have to choose between her and me, I want her to live well."

"But I can't get away with her by myself."

"The Marquis de Gramont and his family are not people who keep their promises. Even if I do everything he asks, Mia will still be imprisoned in Paris."

Li You raised his eyebrows, somewhat surprised by his honesty: "Are you trying to use my knife to help you and your daughter escape?"

"To be precise, it was the Marquis of Grammont who wanted to kill you."

"How many people are there?" Li You asked him with a little curiosity.

"Since the members of the Brotherhood who hold seats at the High Table are as indifferent to worldly affairs as the ascetics, the entire Parisian underworld is cooperating with the Marquis de Gramont."

"If all the Grammont family members die, will the Brotherhood fight back?"

"No," Kane has lived in Paris for many years and is very familiar with those guys who move around high and sometimes jump off buildings. "Although these people are powerful assassins, they are immersed in some special instruments and are obsessed with exploring the history of the past. They hardly care about the affairs of the High Table. Joining the High Table is just for the convenience of members to act around the world and avoid living in the open air."

"That's easy," Li You listened to him and pressed the pager on the table, "Ask Zhao Xian to come over."

"."

When Kane saw Zhao Xian, the cyborg, his body visibly tensed up. He had an extraordinary intuition, but the person he met in the manor today made him feel that something was wrong.

Chairman Li, a pampered big shot at the High Table, is an unfathomable "killer". The young woman he casually calls brings him great pressure.

"Take your team to France," Li You pointed at Kane, "He will lead you."

Zhao Xian nodded, "What is the mission?"

"Members of the Grammont family," Li You said nonchalantly, "Forget about the minions, just get rid of the main characters."

"Yes."

Everyone is a knowledgeable person and there is no need to say more. Although this is the first time that Zhao Xian's team has received an overseas mission from Li You, they have flown all over the world when working for Dr. Bai in the past and have long been accustomed to this kind of thing.

Before they left the manor, Li You was too lazy to explain anything more. He just told Zhao Xian to remember to hang up the head of Marquis Gramont and let the world know.

Proper display of muscles is indeed necessary in the underground world, especially since his identity would be underestimated.

However, not long after Zhao Xian and others left that day, Li You stopped being a "homebody" and went out with Quan Zaijun and others to meet Zhu Mengyong who thanked and congratulated him.

The quagmire of Daying Ocean's acquisition that lasted for more than two years was finally ended with the help of Li You.

After Zhu Mengyong took Daying Group to acquire Daying Ocean, he had always wanted to find time to meet with Li You.

When the two met, Zhu Mengyong felt very strange.

After all, among the core members of their Daying family, it is generally recognized that Li You is the mastermind behind the explosion at Daying Manor that year.

On the contrary, he often cooperated with Li You, and there was no sign of any deep hatred between them.

Zhu Mengyong, who is emotionally indifferent, doesn't care much about this kind of thing. Instead, he feels that Li You is somewhat similar to him.

However, Zhu Mengyong also knew that although they could cooperate, there would not be a deeper friendship.

"I heard that Chairman Jin Jianying was furious after Chairman Zhu completed the acquisition and smashed a lot of things in the office," Li You took the sake poured by Zhu Mengyong and smiled faintly, "I think Chairman Zhu and Chairman Jin have completely different feelings."

"It was all thanks to President Li who helped me convince Minister Lu, the key person," Zhu Mengyong was also surprised. "Given Minister Lu's personality, I really didn't expect him to give in to President Li."

Li You took a sip of wine and said, "I'm just repaying a favor."

He did not pick up the various fresh foods on the plate. Instead, he waved and called Quan Zaijun at the door, "Go find a stove."

Zhu Mengyong was a little confused, "President Li doesn't like Japanese food?"

"I have never liked this kind of original sashimi, and I rarely eat it during social events," Li You waited for Quan Zaijun to bring the small stove over before speaking, "It's just my personal eating habits."

Compared to these high-end seafood, Li You prefers the barbecue he used to eat with Ding Qing and others.

People do become nostalgic when they get old, Li You smiled in his heart.

Zhu Mengyong was stunned for two seconds, and began to put things on the small stove in the middle, "Then let's try President Li's way of eating."

What is high-end and what is not.
Given their current status, they both like to eat however they want, and that is what is considered high-end on the Korean Peninsula.

Zhu Mengyong chewed the cooked barbecue and thought it was quite interesting to eat the smoky barbecue in this style.

It is indeed easier to get a short-term feeling of fullness by eating cooked food than by eating raw food. The two of them were full quickly and began to drink wine and chat slowly.

When hearing Zhu Mengyong talking about Daying Ocean's current predicament, Li Youcai smiled slightly and delved into the topic, "Hasn't Daying Ocean's debt problem been partially dealt with?"

Zhu Mengyong sighed and shook his head. "We have dealt with part of it, but the total debt of more than 6 trillion won caused by consecutive years of losses is not reduced. After all, this part of the debt has not been cancelled. The ones that have been dealt with are just postponed and instalments. In addition, there are several orders that have been liquidated due to bankruptcy."

"Even though we have Daying Group as a guarantor, there are still many ports around the world that refuse to allow Daying Ocean's ships to dock," Zhu Mengyong said with difficulty, "not to mention that there are hundreds of ships of various types that are out of service." "It's basically impossible to revive Daying Ocean. If it weren't related to the shipping industry of our Korean Peninsula and the livelihoods of hundreds of thousands of citizens, I would never have spent so much money to snatch it from my eldest brother."

Li You listened to him begging for pity and said calmly, "There is gain and loss. Chairman Zhu should understand this. If Daying Ocean really had no flaws, the Jinmen Group would not stand aside and watch. They might have come out to compete with you and Chairman Jin for Daying Ocean."

"That's true," Zhu Mengyong laughed and joked, "I'm very grateful to President Li for letting us go."

"But." Zhu Mengyong suddenly changed the subject: "Is President Li going to make any big moves next?"

Li You glanced at the smiling Zhu Mengyong and just nodded without elaborating on what the big deal was.

Zhu Mengyong seemed to have obtained some definite answer, and began to think carefully in his heart.

The motivation for their collaboration is fundamentally interest.

The conflict of interest between Kinmen Group and Daying Group is not too big now, but all this is based on the premise that Daying Group will not develop new industries in recent years.

Now that Daying Group has acquired Daying Ocean, the large amount of debt and the sluggish shipping and shipbuilding industry have meant that although Daying Group has regained its former industrial scope, its development prospects have been dragged down.

It is undoubtedly a pipe dream to explore new tracks.

Zhu Mengyong was sure that Li You would never attack the Daying Group first, so the most valuable
Of course it is Tianxia Group.

For example, Zhu Mengyong knew very well that Li You had been eyeing Tianxia Energy since he established Kinmen Heavy Industries in Suriname many years ago.

"Could it be that President Zhu also wants to intervene?"

Listening to Li You's question, Zhu Mengyong laughed and said, "Now that Daying Group has just taken back Daying Ocean, there are so many things going on within the group. How could I possibly want to interfere in Chairman Li's affairs?"

"Of course," he said in a deep voice, "If President Li needs our help, I will definitely not stand idly by."

Li You smiled faintly and shook his head. The relationship between the chaebols on the Korean Peninsula is inherently complicated. Whether hatred exists is just a matter of whether there is enough interest. Using a disabled and lagging Daying Haiyang to fill the stomach of Daying Group for the next ten years is really a good deal.

Did Zhu Mengyong deal with Daying Ocean in advance? The shipping industry suddenly regained vitality?
Li You could only say.
One person can never be a match for the financial crisis and industry trends.

The global shipping industry has been in a sustained downturn since the financial crisis, and this is not a situation that can be reversed by one person alone.

After the end of the financial crisis last year, the next two years will be a severe winter for the shipping industry. Some sectors may gradually recover, but it will only be a partial recovery.

When Li You attacked Tianxia Group, Zhu Mengyong's best choice was to honestly consolidate his own Daying Group.

But now the two of them are still sitting together, talking and laughing, but when the time comes...
Zhu Mengyong was the person who was most unwilling to see anything happen to Tianxia Group and Jin Jianying. After all, the triangle was a more stable structure. If Tianxia collapsed, then Daying would become the only opponent of Kinmen Group.

When Li You used the Kinmen Group to absorb the Shunyang Group, both the Daying Group and the Tianxia Group chose to stand idly by. It was not because they were kind-hearted, but because they had already gained enough benefits from the early struggle for the successor to the Shunyang Group. Later, they acquiesced in the Kinmen Group replacing the Shunyang Group and becoming a part of the new triangle system.

Allowing the Kinmen Group to swallow up a part of the Tianxia Group again or even annex the Tianxia Group is undoubtedly the thing that the Daying Group and most of the senior executives on the Korean Peninsula fear the most.

The problem is that there are not many people who can restrain the Kinmen Group now. Cho Tae-seop was the one who suppressed Lee Woo's development in politics. The Tianxia Group, the Daying Group and the Kinmen Group form a three-way competition in the business world, which has stabilized the Korean Peninsula.

"Chairman Li wants to take action against Tianxia Group?" Zhu Mengyong felt that this matter needed a definite explanation. Moreover, there was no point in hiding one's thoughts. They could not change Li You's mind by hiding it, so he simply brought it up openly.

Li You looked at Zhu Mengyong in surprise for a while, then smiled and said, "President Zhu, you dare to ask."

"I just did it reluctantly," Zhu Mengyong sighed, "President Li has a long-term vision. I think he is not interested in some small-scale enterprises now. I am just speculating."

"Could it be that when President Zhu said that he would not stand idly by when I need help, he meant that he wanted to help me deal with Tianxia Group?"

"?" Zhu Mengyong's thoughts paused for two seconds, then he shook his head and smiled, "President Li, don't joke. President Jin, who is older than us, is still here. Although he is not as aggressive as President Li, he has many years of experience. No matter what means of politics, business and law, he can handle it with ease."

"So Chairman Zhu is overthinking," Li You said with a smile, "Chairman Zhu also knows that the Kinmen Group is now a thorn in the eyes of many people on the Korean Peninsula. The higher we go, the harder it is to develop. Everyone is watching me, so I will definitely not do this."

"Is what President Zhu said right?"

Zhu Mengyong laughed and didn't quite believe what Li You said.

Judging from his dealings with Li You over the years, Li You is not the kind of person who would refuse to eat for fear of choking.

He didn't move because he was being stared at. This would never happen to Li You.

Zhu Mengyong pondered for a long time and then shook his head and said, "Since President Li has his own ideas, I won't say much."

But this time Zhu Mengyong had really misjudged Li You. Li You did plan to take action against the Tianxia Group, but the action would be put off for some time later. He now had a new target.

However, Li You knew very well what Zhu Mengyong was thinking now, so he did not explain. He followed Zhu Mengyong's wrong idea and said with a smile: "President Zhu, don't worry, I received your suggestion."

"."

After a while, Li You looked at his watch, then stood up and put on his suit jacket. "I still have to go back to see the kids, so I won't talk to President Zhu any more."

"Okay," Zhu Mengyong stood up and saw Li You out with a smile.

After Li You left, Zhu Mengyong, who had a tasteless meal, glanced at the barbecue oven and felt that his whole body was filled with the smell of barbecue. He slapped his hanging suit jacket with the back of his hand in disgust, put it on unsteadily and went out.

Li You, who had already left in the car, took the document handed to him by the co-pilot Quan Zaijun and frowned slightly, "Is this person reliable?"

"It's not clear yet," Jeon Jae-jun shook his head, "but he showed great sincerity."

"And you want to acquire this military industrial enterprise. As the local division commander, he is someone you cannot avoid."

Li You looked at the words 'JY Defense' and the name of the division commander on the document, and after thinking about it, he decided on tomorrow's itinerary.
