The penniless son of the penniless ...

Chapter 106: Brother-in-law, I didn’t expect you to be such a person!
Just as Chung Mong-koo said, there is no one in Korea who is worse than him in running an automobile company. In addition, the overseas sales of Korea Automobile have always been inferior to those of Volkswagen, GM, Toyota and other brands. It is not easy to increase the overseas sales of Hyundai Motor.

It’s better to let Zheng Mengjiu deal with this complicated and headache-inducing matter, and leave professional matters to professionals.

Seeing that Zhang Junfeng was not very concerned about the affairs of Hyundai Motor Company and had no intention of competing for the management rights, Li Jae-yong couldn't help feeling a little regretful. He had originally thought of encouraging Zhang Junfeng to take over the management rights of Hyundai Motor Company.

In this way, not only can he vent his anger (his cooperation with Chung Mong-koo was looked down upon and rejected), but he can also get Hyundai Motor Company's production technology and R&D personnel through Zhang Junfeng, and Five Star Lei'e Automobile Company may be able to be saved.

But since Zhang Junfeng had no such plan, he had to give up his little idea.

……

Perhaps because a lot of things have happened recently, Li Zairong and Zhang Junfeng mostly chat about hot current events reported on TV, wanting to see the other party's views and opinions.

After all, the abilities of this brother-in-law have been highly praised by his father Li Jianxi. Perhaps he can get some secret information or other views and opinions from him and be inspired!
Soon during their conversation, the two inevitably mentioned the recent series of negative news about Hanjin Group.

Thinking about how Zhang Junfeng had recently snatched the operating rights of Hanjin Shipping directly from the Hanjin Zhao family, and that KB Bank was subsequently investigated by a commissioner, Li Zairong even suspected that these things that happened in Hanjin Group might be related to Zhang Junfeng.

However, Zhang Junfeng acted quite calm. He said to Li Zairong in a calm tone, "In the final analysis, it's because they themselves are not clean. Otherwise, how could others have so much dirty secrets to expose?"

"For many things, 'If you don't want others to know, then don't do it yourself'. Once you do these things, you can hide them for a while, but not forever. Sooner or later, they will be exposed." At this point, Zhang Junfeng paused, and a smile gradually bloomed on his face. "But I am naturally very happy to see that Hanjin Group is in trouble. After all, Zhao Nangao was very arrogant when he was fighting for the operating rights of Hanjin Shipping!"

"And afterwards, Hanjin Group's chairman Zhao Chongxun actually went to the Blue House to instigate officials associated with them to send people to deal with KB Bank. With such despicable character and behavior, it is natural for others to plot against him!" Zhang Junfeng sneered at the behavior of Zhao Chongxun, the chairman of a large enterprise, and looked down on him.

Hearing Zhang Junfeng's words, Li Zairong's heart skipped a beat. He smiled awkwardly and did not continue the topic. If he really wanted to investigate as Zhang Junfeng said, then he, the prince of the Five Star Group, would not be so clean.
Of course, Zhang Junfeng's answer also made Li Zairong understand that the other party was most likely the mastermind behind the plot against Hanjin Group. However, Li Zairong had no friendship with the people of Hanjin Group, so he didn't need to offend his powerful brother-in-law for them.

……

Before he knew it, the sky outside gradually darkened, and his sister-in-law Jin Shiling had finished preparing dinner. As the exquisite dishes were served on the table, Zhang Junfeng could not help but complain in his heart. "My goodness, no wonder my brother-in-law looks so good. It seems that he eats a rich and nutritious meal at home, which is completely different from the bland food at his father-in-law's place!"

Li Zairong warmly invited Zhang Junfeng and Li Fuzhen to taste the delicious food, and he introduced it to them with some complacency. These dishes were made with precious ingredients. He also specially hired several chefs from high-end Western restaurants to teach the servants at home how to cook.

This arrogant attitude made Zhang Junfeng couldn't help but give a thumbs up. It was much more heroic than just recruiting a female college student to cook Cantonese cuisine for them!

This brother-in-law appears to be gentle and elegant on the surface, but actually he is a respectable man who is extremely particular about food and loves food. His hobbies are surprisingly similar to those of the greedy Li Fuzhen~!

With the delicious food in front of them, the few people were less interested in chatting and started to eat heartily. Looking at the slow movements of Li Zairong, Jin Shiling and even Li Fuzhen, Zhang Junfeng was also a little helpless. Obviously, there were no elders present, and they were the only four people eating a meal and acting so elegantly. This was unnecessary, right?
Of course, Zhang Junfeng remained calm on the surface, imitating Li Fuzhen and slowly tasting the delicious food on the table. It was not until more than half an hour later that the dinner was over.

Looking at his sister-in-law Jin Shiling who was still busy directing the servants to clean up the aftermath, Zhang Junfeng couldn't help but think of the Elephant Group run by the Jin family, which was one of the top food processing companies in Goryeo. If they could reach a cooperation with a five-star department store, it seemed that they could form an inspection team to go to the neighboring Dragon Country to open up new markets!
The economy of Longguo has developed rapidly in recent years, and its foreign exchange reserves have exceeded hundreds of billions of US dollars, ranking third in the world after the United States and Japan.

Moreover, Longguo has a population of 12 billion, and the market that can be tapped from such a huge population is quite amazing! After realizing the huge consumer market in Longguo, well-known foreign retail industry giants such as Wal-Mart, Costco, Carrefour, IKEA, etc., rushed to Longguo to open companies and shopping centers.

At their peak, the hundreds of shopping malls opened by these retail giants in Longguo could earn billions of RMB in astonishing profits for their parent companies every year. If it were not for the emergence of e-commerce and Internet shopping platforms, which greatly shook the offline retail market, Longguo's retail industry would have gradually declined.

……

Having made up his mind, Zhang Junfeng smiled and asked Li Zairong about some aspects of the Elephant Group, and even asked whether the other party had any plans to expand overseas.

This sudden inquiry made Li Zairong a little confused for a moment. He didn't react to the meaning of Zhang Junfeng's words at all. He didn't know how to answer when he asked about his father-in-law's family!
Fortunately, Jin Shiling, who had just finished her work, seemed to have noticed the abnormality of her husband Li Zairong, and then came over to talk to a few people. When she heard Zhang Junfeng asking about the situation of the Elephant Group, Jin Shiling smiled and gave a brief description.
