Korean TV series: King of Peninsula 1997

Chapter 688 Political Changes
Li You did not have a deep conversation with anyone at the mourning site, but before he got in the car to leave, he noticed that someone had already left in the car before him.

Li You withdrew his gaze from the cars that were leaving and stepped into the car.

When the Kinmen Group's car drove to the exit, the driver, Jeon Jae-joon, reached out to take the entry and exit register. When signing on it, he noticed two names on it, and casually asked the security guard at the door, "Is the car that just left the Tianxia Group and Councillor Cho Tae-seop's car?"

"Yes," the security guards of the National Assembly were very respectful to anyone who could come to the National Assembly to pay their respects, but they did not hold back on anyone, "It's Chairman Kim and Congressman Cho."

"Thank you," Jeon Jae-joon said as he handed it back, making the security guard feel flattered.

The car drove farther and farther away, and Jeon Jae-jun slowed down a little. "Chairman, are Jin Xiya and Zhao Taixie going to cooperate?"

Thinking of the blood feud between the two that has not yet been made clear, Li You felt that being a riddle man was quite interesting. He waved his hand and said, "It shouldn't be... Jin Xiya went to find help after failing in the negotiation with me. But I really didn't expect that she would find Zhao Taixie."

Jeon Jae-jun analyzed seriously, "There are only a few people who are capable of doing harm to the president's plan. Most of these people are unwilling to stand against the president, and some even stand on the president's side. Maybe she thinks she can only find Cho Tae-seop?"

"It's rare that you use your brain," Li You smiled teasingly, "It would be interesting if Zhao Taixie really cooperated with her..."

He said calmly: "It's a pity that Jin Jianying, who has protected his daughter for so many years, has to reach out to this political quagmire."

On the other side, in the car of Tianxia Group, Jin Xiya found it difficult to explain her feelings.

She has been unwilling to get involved in politics for so many years and has been hiding behind Kim Gun-young for protection. It's not that she is avoiding these things, but she instinctively hates these things, especially Cho Tae-seop, the guy who has worked with Kim Gun-young for almost twenty years, and is someone she hates very much.

With this in mind, after arriving at Zhao Taixie's private residence, Jin Xiya sat in the car for a while before opening the door and getting out to meet Zhao Taixie who was already waiting for her.

When Jin Xiya met Zhao Taixie, he was slowly making tea. His skills have been getting better and better over the years.

Seeing Jin Xiya coming in, he poured a cup of tea and handed it to her, "Miss Xiya, please take a seat."

It is also clear to everyone that Zhao Taixie does not recognize the identity of Miss Xiya as the chairman.

Jin Xiya's eyes flashed with dissatisfaction again, but she immediately calmed down and did not touch the cup of tea. She just sat down and said calmly: "I have heard about Councillor Zhao's tea art from my father before, but this is the first time I have experienced it firsthand. Thank you very much."

Zhao Taixie kept moving his hands, and just glanced at the cup of tea that was not taken away with the corner of his eye, "I thought Miss Xiya didn't like tea tasting."

"Tea tasting is too elegant. I don't have that kind of interest."

Assistant officer Kim Jin-woo, who was listening in, showed dissatisfaction on his face, thinking that Kim Hee-ya was too rude in this conversation.

Zhao Taixie turned around, shook his head and smiled at Jin Zhenyu, but the meaning of his smile was quite obvious.

Jin Zhenyu had done so much for Zhao Taixie, and he understood what Zhao Taixie meant when he looked at him. He immediately stood up and said, "Chairman, Director Han and I will help you sort out your schedule."

Zhao Taixie didn't say anything, just nodded slightly, and Jin Zhenyu took the secretary-general Han Zhixian and left.

After the two left, Jin Xiya remained silent for a while, but she finally picked up the cup of tea and took a sip. "The tea tastes good. Thank you, Councillor Zhao, for your hospitality."

Zhao Taixie also laughed, "Since Miss Xiya likes it, then take some back. I think there should be someone who knows tea art around Miss Xiya. I remember that Secretary Jin beside the chairman is a good tea artist. I wonder if he is still in Tianxia Group?"

The chairman was obviously referring to Kim Gun-young, and Secretary Kim was Kim Gun-young's confidant to whom he entrusted his will.

It's a pity that he didn't work for Kim Hee-ah, but fortunately he didn't help Kim Young-jun and Kim Sung-jun, but left the Tianxia Group.

Jin Xiya could only endure Zhao Taixie's behavior of smiling and hurting her heart, and said indifferently: "Of course, Uncle Jin is still in Tianxia Group, but he is not feeling well and needs to go back to his hometown to recuperate for some time."

"Rest..." Zhao Taixie didn't continue to hurt his heart from this angle, but just asked gently: "Then you must take good care of your body, otherwise..."

He shook his head, but Jin Xiya immediately understood what he wanted to say, which was that Secretary Jin would also die of illness like Jin Jianying.

Her face darkened and she avoided the topic. "Since Councillor Zhao agreed to meet with me, I think there is a possibility of cooperation between us. Why do you keep saying such dark things?"

Zhao Taixie paused and felt a little funny in his heart. It was that Jin Xiya didn't know what happened between Jin Jianying and Liu Caiyan that night, otherwise she would still cooperate with him. It would be strange if Jin Xiya didn't want to kill him.

"I didn't expect that Miss Xiya would come to discuss cooperation with me." Zhao Taixie put down the teacup in his hand, looked at the girl who was kept in the dark, and said softly: "But since it is Miss Xiya, we can indeed have a chat. But Miss Xiya also knows that President Jin Shengjun and I are in a cooperative relationship. How does Miss Xiya want to convince me to give up Representative Shengjun and choose you?"

"I know you are working with Shengjun," Jin Xiya said with a stiff face, "but at least today in the National Assembly, at the state funeral of General Jin Minzhong, I am the chairman of Tianxia Group. My two brothers Shengjun and Yongjun are not qualified to represent Tianxia Group."

Zhao Taixie still chuckled: "But no matter where or when, Miss Xiya only has an illusory title of 'chairman'. Most of Tianxia Group's industries have been divided into the hands of President Yongjun and President Shengjun. Tianxia Automobile and Tianxia Heavy Industry are just representative industries under the two of them, and Miss Xiya's less than half of Tianxia Group is not even united."

"."

When Jin Xiya was silent, Zhao Taixie changed the subject and said, "But I do need the title of Miss Xiya in some places."

Jin Xiya looked at him intently, "Councilman Zhao, why don't you just speak out first?"

Zhao Taixie looked at her serious expression and just smiled in his heart. Of course Jin Xiya was important, and very important. Even if all the problems he mentioned existed, it would not change the fact that Jin Xiya carried the name of Tianxia Group. Degrading her was just his negotiation technique.

There was no smile on his face. "I heard before that Miss Xiya is trying to communicate with the directors?"

"Can it be understood as winning people's hearts?"

In response to Cho Tae-seop's straightforward statement, Kim Hee-ya simply shook her head and said, "It's not quite the same, but it's OK if Councillor Cho wants to understand it that way."

"Of course I understand it, but Miss Xiya, please don't misunderstand..." Zhao Taixie said lightly: "There is one thing you may not understand. I have dealt with many directors in the group, probably much more than you do."

"Of course I know," Jin Xiya lowered her eyes, "otherwise there wouldn't be so many people wavering in the group, not all relying on an outsider like Councillor Zhao."

"It seems that Miss Xiya has a lot of resentment in her heart," Zhao Taixie smiled again and continued to add tea to her cup: "Then we have a chance to cooperate."

"." After chatting for a long time, Zhao Taixie was satisfied and personally sent Jin Xiya out, "Miss Xiya, take care."

Seeing that it was Zhao Taixie who personally saw Kim Hee-ah out, but he still called her Miss Hee-ah when he said goodbye, Kim Jin-woo and Han Ji-hyun who were outside the door were very puzzled.

"Member," Jin Zhenyu, as the more trusted person, spoke first, "What are you and Jin Xiya doing..."

"We have reached a deal," Zhao Taixie chuckled, "We will know the result after a while."

Seeing that Zhao Taixie was unwilling to say more, Jin Zhenyu stopped asking questions. Instead, Han Zhixian was in a state of uncertainty.

Zhao Tae-seop watched Jin Xiya's car drive out of his private residence. After standing still for a while, he turned around and strode back to the study.

Instead of putting all the chips on Kim Sung-jun, who is not reliable and has so many stains, Kim Hee-ya, who is a woman, is more suitable.

Lee You's appearance in the Korean Peninsula's National Assembly did not attract much attention. At this time, the most attention was paid to the big figures in the Korean Peninsula's political arena.

There was much less news about Peninsula Bank on TV, and most media were focusing on Kim Min-jung's funeral and commemorations of Kim Min-jung.

During the days when the state funeral for Kim Min-jung was held, the forces under Kim Yong-jun and Kim Sung-jun quickly stopped buying up Peninsula Bank shares in the market.

Although Kim Hee-ah was still stubborn when she met Lee Woo, she gradually reduced her competition for Peninsula Bank shares after returning. I don't know if it was because she also met with Cho Tae-seop.

The arm cannot bend the thigh. After all, Jin Xiya is not in charge of the entire Tianxia Group. So many important industries are in the hands of her two brothers.

After the other three parties gradually gave up, although the Kinmen Group was still in full swing in acquiring shares of Peninsula Bank, its actions gradually became steady and no longer so urgent.

Mainly due to the reduction in public opinion, the price of Peninsula Bank’s shares is no longer falling as much and is gradually stabilizing.

At this time, the competitive atmosphere on the Korean Peninsula that existed in previous years is much less.

Li You stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of his office, which was on the top floor of the Kinmen Group building. Although he could not hear the hustle and bustle, he could see the dim lights of Seoul in the evening.

The window was open and hot wind blew in.

"Why don't you close the window?" Mou Xianmin was a little surprised when she walked in. She turned up the air conditioner a little and felt more comfortable in the cool air.

Li You stood with his hands behind his back, looking into the distance for a while before he smiled and said, "Recently, two big figures, Kim Gun-young and Kim Min-jung, passed away. Seoul has become much quieter. I just don't know."

"How many people are still making their own wishful calculations?"

Mou Xianmin raised his eyebrows slightly, "Are you talking about Zhao Taixie?"

"He is just one of them," Li You shook his head. "Every one of those people in Congress has his own plans, but the plans are different in size."

He thought of the news he had recently received. "Roh Moo-hyun was once Kim Min-jung's most valued junior. Many of Roh Moo-hyun's ideas were also learned from Kim Min-jung. As far as I know, he is now unifying the political legacy left by Kim Min-jung and helping Moon Jae-yoon accumulate political power."

"What a pity. Their identities have been swapped with those of previous years. If Roh Moo-hyun was still the congressman preparing to run for election, I'm afraid he would be able to get a lot of support," Li You shook his head. "What a pity."

"And Park Jin-sun," Mu Hyun-min added, "She's probably not being honest with the Grand National Party either?"

Li You nodded.

Mou Xianmin continued to ask knowingly: "Will you let her go on stage?"

"That's not what I say," Li You said with a laugh, "but just like we said before, this country is too small, everything is bound to be involved in politics, and there's no telling what will happen."

"Their goal has been very clear from the beginning to the end, which is to have their daughter inherit their father's business. However, even if she takes office, she will still face considerable constraints."

Having said that, whether there is a chance or not still depends on how well money and power are combined.

With the death of Jin Jianying, the dispute in the financial world seems to have come to an end.

The impact of Kim Min-jung's death in the political arena has caused politicians to start to think silently.

Under such circumstances, not many people would openly and directly join the Kinmen Group.

After all, the political situation is uncertain and no one dares to make such a decision easily.

A wrong move at this time would cause these politicians to lose the whole game. Although they were all trying to please Li You, they also had a lot of excuses in their mouths. They did not really make any efforts, but relied on excuses to observe the changes in the situation.

These observers include Park Jin-sun, Moon Jae-yoon, and Cho Tae-seop.

No one dares to act rashly in the political situation. Li You and Mou Xianmin are both aware of this, which is why they have this teasing conversation.

"Sometimes I admire her," Mou Xianmin said as she stood beside Li You. "She has been able to hold on for so many years and has not started a family. Even people like Zhao Taixie have been married and have sons."

"She may not need those, she just needs to have a belief," Li You said something that sounded ambiguous to Mou Xianmin's ears.

"what?"

Li You reached out and closed the window that was still blowing hot air in. "She is different from Zhao Taixie."

"Jo Tae-seop climbed up from the bottom step by step. He is completely different from her, a politician who can't have a family on the Korean Peninsula." Li You shook his head, "It's impossible to climb up from the bottom."

"Okay," Li You pointed to the wine cabinet not far away, "Go pick a bottle of wine, we'll have a drink after a long time."
