Korean TV series: King of Peninsula 1997

Chapter 698: King of the Peninsula (Finale)

2017, Seoul.

"Here is a news report. Park Geum-sun, who was once the leader of the Grand National Party, has recently been suspected of illegal activities such as joining an illegal church. The Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office has issued a cooperation investigation document against her."

"The following is our reporter's exclusive interview with Prosecutor General Park Tae-soo..."

The person who appeared in front of the camera was Park Tae-soo, who was promoted to Chief Prosecutor of the Central District Prosecutors' Office several years ago and is also a strong candidate for Chief Prosecutor next year.

"Prosecutor Park, please comment on the case of Councillor Park Jin-sun."

Park Tae-soo on TV is no longer the young prosecutor who first joined Lee Woo-shik. Now nearly fifty years old, he is very serious: "What Councillor Park did needs to be reviewed..."

Li You leaned on the sofa, squinted his eyes, took a sip of wine, and turned on the TV.

"President Lee Myung-Hak said early this morning that he will not participate in this year's presidential election."

"Rep. Moon Jae-yoon, who lost the last presidential election, announced that he would continue to run for the presidential election and said that this would always be his life goal."

Switching the channel again, "Today, Chairman Lee You and his wife of Kinmen Group will be invited to visit the Blue House."

"It's time," Mou Xianmin stood beside the sofa, holding a suit jacket in her hand. She smiled and called Li You, "Today we have to broadcast the whole thing live."

"What do you mean by live broadcast?" Li You stretched and stood up to let Mou Xianmin help him put on his clothes. "Anything that is shown in front of the camera is just an illusion for everyone to see."

"Stop joking," Mou Xianmin helped him put on his coat and patted Li You lightly, "Don't forget that you still have to go to Tianxia Group to attend the shareholders' meeting today. Your schedule is very tight."

"Not suitable, not suitable," Mou Xianmin looked up and down and shook his head, "This outfit is too young."

"Is it bad for you to be younger?" Li You glanced at her from the side and found that Mou Xianmin was indeed dressed a little older.

"You're almost forty years old. How can you appear in front of them without changing at all?" Mou Xianmin took off his coat and hurriedly changed him into a suit.

Li You glanced at Li Youmo and others who were laughing secretly on the side, and twisted his neck helplessly.

After finally changing into clothes that made them look older, Li Youcai and Mou Xianmin got into the car that had been prepared long ago.

Once in the car, Mou Xianmin relaxed a little, "It's another critical year."

"A critical year?" Li You chuckled when he heard that.

"The presidential election is coming up. Although Tianxia Group has improved somewhat since Jin Yongjun was released from prison, the eight-year internal strife has made it unable to hold on. You can naturally 'revitalize' Tianxia."

“It’s not an exaggeration to say that this is a critical year,” Li You smiled.

The Blue House will hold a grand banquet today, and the guests include not only Lee Woo and Mou Hyun-min, but also other big figures on the Korean Peninsula.

After Li You and Mou Xianmin arrived, the center of the place became Li You and Mou Xianmin. In this kind of situation where people were trying to get close to each other everywhere, Li You and Mou Xianmin were both experienced. They were very skilled in dealing with visitors separately, and the camera recorded it all very honestly.

The situation here did not change slightly until the arrival of the commander-in-chief Li Mingxue in his last year of term.

Following Li Mingxue, there was also a whole team of secretaries. At this time, everyone took their seats and the carefully selected and strictly screened waiters began to serve the dishes.

Li You and Li Mingxue, the two people with the highest status in the Korean Peninsula, sat in adjacent seats. In the camera, the two chatted and shook their heads and smiled from time to time.

The camera couldn't capture what they were listening to, but the harmonious coexistence between the top financial and political figures was completely abnormal on the Korean Peninsula, but both the bigwigs present and the citizens watching the live broadcast on TV had already become accustomed to it.

"President," Li Mingxue laughed, "What are you going to do about the Cui family?"

"Cui family?" Li You raised his eyebrows.

"It's the family that Park Jinshan is close to," Li Mingxue reminded.

Li You took a sip of wine. In fact, he didn't care about such a small person who could be easily killed, but since Li Mingxue spoke up
Li You thought for a moment and asked, "Your Excellency the President, do you want to crack down on the chaos in the church?"

"Yes," Li Mingxue kept smiling but lowered his voice, "There are too many churches on the peninsula now. I don't think this should be the case."

Li You took another sip of wine, and after a while he said, "In this case, Mr. President, just go back and tell the prosecutors and the police. The Cui family can be easily killed, so there is no need for you to care so much."

The two didn't say much to the camera, other than briefly focusing on the banquet and their acting.

It was not until the end of the dinner that Li Youcai and Li Mingxue had a truly private meeting.

In the president's office, the two sat opposite each other.

Li You raised his glass and clinked it with Li Mingxue: "Your Excellency the President is still so reserved. I said I would not interfere too much in politics."

Li Mingxue took his eyes off the wine glass and raised his glass in response: "I know, President."

For Li Mingxue, Li You is already a good enough partner.

Although the Kinmen Group controlled countless officials, congressmen, and prosecutors of all sizes, under Li You's strict orders, those who were attached to the Kinmen Group never used these to hinder Li Mingxue's various policies. Instead, they cooperated very actively.

The country is thriving, and Li You has irresistible control over public opinion, so no one will comment on this.

"President Lee is really..." Li You shook his head and laughed, "He has been like this since he was elected five years ago. Now he has been the president for four years, and he is still the same."

"The president shouldn't be so reserved."

Li Mingxue just smiled faintly, "President, I am determined to run the Peninsula as a business, and the facts have proved that my choice and my approach are correct."

"International relations have eased around the world, and the economy is developing very well. As a politician, what else can I be dissatisfied with?"

Li You drank the rest of the wine in his glass in one gulp, nodded and praised: "Being able to keep your original intention, this is indeed the Li Mingxue I know."

"But this time, the Grand Unified Democratic Party really doesn't have any new members, and Moon Jae-yoon is still very powerful..." Li Mingxue asked, "Originally, the internal competition of the Grand Unified Democratic Party is internal competition, but afterwards we should still work together to deal with other parties in the National Assembly, just like when we cooperated with them eight years ago."

"But recently more and more people have left the Grand Unified Democratic Party. Are you really not planning to find a new member of the party to support?"

Li You laughed and said, "What's wrong? Are you helping you find an heir?"

"A few people did come to me. After all, this is a position that represents the highest ideals of politicians on the Peninsula," Li Mingxue said frankly, "but I will definitely not help you make a decision."

"If you want to pick someone, I'll hand you the list." Li You smiled and shook his head: "No need..."

"With my help, the Peninsula is thriving." Li You sneered, "But those people haven't seen what the Peninsula looks like when the Kinmen Group doesn't cooperate. What will happen if we give the election to them?"

Li Mingxue was speechless. He didn't expect Li You had no supporters.
It's not because I look down on those MPs, but I want to show others the consequences of not cooperating.
What a weird idea.

"President Li can handle the church's affairs," Li You said as he stood up and said goodbye, "The prosecutors will fully cooperate."

"I feel relieved after hearing what the president said," Li Mingxue stood up to see him off. "President, are you going to Tianxia Group next?"

"Yes," Li You opened the door, turned around and smiled brightly at Li Mingxue, "Tianxia Group has been fighting internally for eight years. If it weren't for our Kinmen Group, I'm afraid the national economy would have been dragged down by them. The people have seen their behavior of dragging us down for so many years, I believe."

"The people will also stand on our side and support us in acquiring Tianxia Group."

"Why don't you, President Li, guess how long it will take to complete the acquisition?"

Li Mingxue hesitated for a while, "Within a week?"

Li You laughed out loud, "How is that possible?"

"It seems that the previous acquisition went smoothly, and even the President was deceived. This is the entire Tianxia Group, and it is definitely not going to be done in a short time. It will take at least until next year. It will probably take a lot of effort to clean up the mess of Tianxia Group."

Li Mingxue took a deep breath and bowed 30 degrees to say goodbye, "Then I wish the president all the best."

"must."

Looking at Li You's figure, Li Mingxue let out a sigh of relief, "Finally, we have reached the stage of acquiring Tianxia Group."

Five minutes later, the convoy of Kinmen Group drove out of the Blue House. Li You looked at the sky outside which had completely darkened and asked, "Has the shareholders' meeting of Tianxia Group started?"

Although his salary and position could not be further improved, Quan Zaijun still drove for Li You. He grinned and glanced at Li You in the rearview mirror: "Chairman, how can they start if you are not here?"

"You really get better at flattering as you get older," Li You chuckled.

"Then please, President, for the sake of my flattery, don't let me take care of the child anymore," Quan Zaijun said pleadingly, "I really can't do it."

"Okay." Li You smiled helplessly, "Are they really that naughty?"

"."Jeon Jae-joon couldn't spread his hands while driving, otherwise he would have to let Li You see his emoticons.

Mou Xianmin sat next to Li You, smiling as she watched the two of them talking and laughing.

Arriving at the headquarters of Tianxia Group, the building was brightly lit. When Li You walked in, all the employees stopped in awe and saluted to Li You as he stepped in.

Don't underestimate the gossip skills of employees. Some old employees have been mentally prepared for the acquisition several years ago.
Li You walked smoothly to the conference room. It was very quiet here. No one started the meeting without permission before Li You arrived.

"President," looking at Li You entering the meeting room, Jin Yongjun, who was sitting by the door, stood up and bowed respectfully.

“President Kim, you’re welcome,” Li You waved his hand and looked at Jin Xiya who was sitting opposite Jin Yongjun, “President Kim?”

"President Li," Jin Xiya looked quite relieved.

In fact, Li You didn't care about her attitude. After she learned many years ago that it was her second brother Jin Shengjun who killed her parents, she didn't want to get involved in this crime in her eyes. Jin Xiya's persistence over the years was nothing more than to be worthy of her parents. To say that she really cares about Tianxia Group is a lie.

Li You naturally took the first seat, and no one raised any objections. "In fact, I now have a very clear understanding of the situation of Tianxia Group. This time, we are convening a shareholders' meeting to propose something that everyone has been looking forward to for many years."

Li You smiled and said, "Golden Gate Group will acquire Tianxia Group."

Unlike the acquisition of Tianxia Airlines many years ago, which required coercion and inducement, this time Li You could only see joy on the faces of these shareholders.

Former chairman Jin Jianying has been dead for eight years. Could it be that he still wants them to work for the Jin family?
The Tianxia Group is now in a state of decline and cannot be saved by normal operations. The operating conditions of the Tianxia Group are directly related to their interests.
As for Kim Young-jun and Kim Hee-young, they could only wish them all the best.

However, the acquisition cannot be completed overnight. After the vote to agree to the acquisition, Li You waved his hand and left early, leaving the others to discuss the other details themselves.

Noticing that Li You returned to the car in less than fifteen minutes, Mou Xianmin blinked helplessly and said, "Such an important matter, why are you so perfunctory?"

She wasn't preaching anything, it was just a conversational style that had developed naturally after more than ten years of married life.

"Don't be perfunctory," Li You stretched out his hand and hugged her, "If I was perfunctory, I wouldn't have to come so late, just let someone greet me."

"I'm giving up the acquisition now. They are the most anxious. Is there anyone else on the peninsula who can acquire Tianxia Group and guarantee their rights and interests?"

"No, no," Mou Xianmin leaned against him naturally, "Since you said so, of course the situation is set."

"Yes, the situation is set." Li You smiled and pinched her face. "Tomorrow we can prepare for the acquisition and build our real kingdom."

When Li You finished saying this, he saw Mou Xianmin was stunned for a moment, and then she raised her hand and patted the driver's seat, "Let's go to Kinmen Real Estate."

"Kinmen Real Estate?" Although Quan Zaijun was confused, he naturally changed direction as he didn't hear any other orders from Li You.

Unlike other groups, each subsidiary of Kinmen Group has a chairman's office.

Kinmen Real Estate is of course no exception. Although no one works in this office all year round, when Li You and Mou Xianmin stepped into the office of Kinmen Real Estate, it still looked spotless.

Mou Xianmin pushed Li You all the way, and he cooperated with her and walked all the way until Li You was pushed to the floor-to-ceiling window by Mou Xianmin, and then she stopped.

"Look..." Mou Xianmin withdrew his hand and leaned back into Li You's arms.

The two of them just stood in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window, overlooking the prosperous and brightly lit Seoul, which seemed like a city that never sleeps, like a king and queen touring the kingdom.

"Many years ago, you told me in front of this window that you would become the hope of the peninsula," Mou Xianmin said softly, "After more than a decade of hard work, we finally have the results we have today."

"You don't know, but I've been told for years that even the public has accepted this."

"You are the king of the peninsula."
