Chapter 232: Nails
"As for hating, Miss Li, she is so beautiful, and her every move is full of charm, how could I hate it? It's just that I don't like things beyond my control, so I'd better explain why, so that I can evaluate our future.
Relationship."
Knocking his fingers lightly on the armrest of the chair, Kaos looked at Li Fuzhen and thought for a while, before he answered again.
After all, it is impossible to explain the situation directly to the other party, which will only expose your future business plan in advance.
Moreover, Kaos was indeed curious about the other party's purpose. When they met for the first time that night, the other party did not show any interest in him, but after that, he pestered him again and again. Obviously, the problem was with him that night.
After leaving.
"Does Mr. Kaos have Jewish ancestry? He likes to weigh the pros and cons of everything in this way. Even beauty has so many considerations at the moment."
Li Fuzhen chuckled lightly and looked at Kaos in surprise. He didn't expect that it was for such a reason that the other party was avoiding him like this during this period.
With her fingers, she tucked a piece of loose hair behind her snow-white ears. Then she looked at Son Yejin not far away and asked, "Is it because of my identity and background that Mr. Kaos has concerns?"
"Yes, I am young now. There is nothing wrong with liking beauty, but I don't want this to become my weakness. Especially when dealing with a woman with an extraordinary background like Miss Li, I naturally have to be more careful.
a little."
Picking up the whiskey brought by the waiter and taking a sip, Kaos explained calmly, and then said again: "So again, what is the purpose of approaching me? Samsung and I
It seems that the group doesn’t have any business to cooperate with.”
Although the business in Kaos's hands now involves many industries, and the same is true for Samsung Group, there is a difference between main business and side business.
Side businesses refer to those industries that are roughly involved and do not have much status in the industry. They are all managed by professional managers. As long as there is no loss or something that seriously affects the overall business plan, it does not matter.
I won’t care too much or interfere too much.
Even if these industries have contacts with Samsung, it is impossible for both parties to care, and there is no need for the Samsung princess to end up.
As for the main business, there is no possibility of communication between the two, although Kaos's plan is to shift the main industry to mobile devices and other electronic products in the future.
But those are all plans for the future, at least seven or eight years from now, and now we still rely more on Google's online search business.
Although Samsung is now involved in many industries, in recent years it has mainly been in the electronic product market, competing fiercely with BlackBerry, Motorola, Nokia, etc. around the world.
Therefore, there was no cooperative business between the two in a short period of time. This is why Kaos couldn't figure out the purpose of the Li family approaching him.
"Suddenly I discovered that getting along with Mr. Kaos would not be a pleasant thing."
Li Fuzhen sighed slightly. For people like Kaos, he is too rational. This may be a necessary condition for all successful people.
But in this case, the two parties can only talk about interests, which means that even if the two parties have a relationship, the cooperation will be a bit cold.
Li Fuzhen doesn't really have any objections to this. After all, the family she belongs to is so cold-blooded, and she has long been accustomed to such things. But if Kaos is the same, then she wants to find the other party for help, which means giving.
The cost will also be greatly increased.
"Mr. Kaos knows that under the influence of the Asian financial crisis in 1997, most of the equity of Samsung Group is now controlled by overseas capital. Although the group is still controlled by the Li family due to government reasons, this will not last long after all.
In order to solve this problem, apart from being intervened by the government to control the group, the other way out is to have a more stable ally."
Seeing that the establishment of a relationship could not bring him any help, Li Fuzhen did not want to waste too much time and took the initiative to express his purpose.
Many people have the impression that the governments of South Korea and Japan are the dog-legs of the United States, but how can there be such a thing in this world that they completely voluntarily bend over? It is more of a forced choice under the status of a small country and the international environment.
In fact, the two companies themselves still have a certain degree of integrity and strive for their own rights and interests as much as possible. Otherwise, there will not be a situation where each domestic business is more dominated by their own people. Samsung Group is still under the control of the Li family.
hands, rather than being completely controlled by foreign capital.
This is the product of the intertwining of various interests and power. Even if Ivana does business on this land, she must wear a local appearance.
This also foreshadows the plight of chaebols such as Samsung. In addition to being wary of further corruption by foreign capital, they must also be careful of governments with lofty dreams that swallow them up.
After all, no authority can tolerate the emergence of such monsters as chaebols. This is why the leadership position of South Korea is so high-risk.
The confrontation between South Korea's financial and political circles has never stopped.
So under such circumstances, the Samsung Li family seems to have unlimited glory on the surface, but on the inside, it is also caught in the middle, and it feels like it is struggling to survive.
Of course, perhaps it is precisely because of this that the Li family is so cold-blooded. Otherwise, if you make a wrong move, you will completely lose the family's glory.
"ally?"
Kaos squinted at Li Fuzhen and said unexpectedly.
"Yes, as Mr. Kaos said before, there is no cooperation between us, and there is also no competition. This is why our family believes that the two parties can become allies."
Li Fuzhen continued to speak very calmly.
"So how do we work together?"
Because of Li Fuzhen's words, Kaos' eyes looked strange for a moment, but he quickly reacted and became calm again.
I don't have any cooperation or competition with Samsung now, but that's only now. I wonder what the other party will think about today's conversation if Kaos holds most of the smartphone industry and pressures Samsung.
Woolen cloth.
"How about my sister Yunxin? She is about the same age as you, Kaos."
Li Fuzhen looked at Kaos's body and introduced his sister with a smile. The meaning could not be clearer.
Originally, Li Fu really wanted to end it himself. After all, establishing a personal relationship with Kaos would greatly improve his status in the family.
But it's a pity that Kaos is too rational, which makes Li Fuzhen a little unfavorable. After all, thinking about the situation of her eldest brother and sister-in-law, she can understand that if the man is too rational, then she will not be able to obtain any benefits.
Even any goal requires transactions and exchanges of interests. Li Fuzhen knew very well that she did not have many chips in her hands and did not have much to exchange with Kaos. This also made her put away her previous thoughts and recommend instead
Li Yunxin came up.
Anyway, the relationship between this sister and herself is pretty good. If Li Yunxin and Kaos are together, she will still stand on her side if anything happens. The benefits that can be obtained in this way are not small, and she saves herself from having to pay.
.
What's more important is that during this period, compared to facing his own vigilance, Kaos still doted on and loved Li Yunxin for some reason. Maybe through this relationship, he could get more from Kaos.
What about the interests.
"Marriage? Miss Li doesn't think that this will be the end of me."
After looking at Li Fuzhen for a while, Kaos suddenly laughed and shook his head as if he had encountered something funny.
After draining the whiskey in his hand, Kaos put down his glass and said again: "The help your allies can give you is nothing more than acquiring the equity of the group and standing in the same camp with you. This involves
A cooperation worth dozens or even tens of billions of dollars, Ms. Li, do you think a woman can make me pay so much?"
"Although I admit that I am good to Li Yunxin, it is just because of a trace of pity, so let's talk about some practical things. What benefits can the Li family give me?"
I already had an idea for Samsung Group, but I didn't have much chance before. Now that the other party has come to my door, how could Kaos resist taking a bite.
"Hehe, since you have an idea, that's good. In fact, our cooperation does not require tens of billions of dollars. After all, the family just hopes to borrow your power to increase more chips in its hands, not to actually obtain a controlling stake."
Seeing that Kaos was indeed interested in cooperation, Li Fuzhen chuckled and introduced the cooperation methods between the two parties.
In fact, it is very simple. It is nothing more than that both parties jointly invest in establishing a company, and then invest in Samsung-owned companies in the name of this company, thereby obtaining more shares of each company.
Just like the Samsung family relies on its control of Samsung C&T to cross over its subsidiaries and control the entire group, the new company established by the two parties is to add another layer of protection to Samsung C&T to prevent future policy changes.
This makes their cross-shareholdings no longer in need of protection.
The benefit given to Kaos is that in the future, the company will receive dividends every year, and all the dividends belonging to the shares of the Samsung Li family will be given to Kaos as compensation.
"It's really treacherous. Your Samsung Li family only plans to invest 10%, and this company's influence on the entire group is also limited. I'm afraid the Li family won't give me all the control. I'm completely providing you with a sum of money."
It’s a big investment.”
Kaos shook his head a little. Since the other party was not going to take any dividends and gave all of it to Kaos as a reward, naturally the Samsung Li family would not invest too much in the new company's shares, otherwise the price would be too high.
This kind of cooperation is just a cooperation in which the Samsung Li family gives Kaos an interest and then borrows Kaos' funds to obtain more shares.
"That's why I have to add my sister. She also owns part of the family's shares, which will be used as a dowry."
Regarding Kaos's complaint, Li Fuzhen just smiled and mentioned Li Yunxin again.
"Speaking of shares, it seems that Miss Fuzhen also has quite a few names."
He avoided Li Fuzhen before because he was not sure of the other party's purpose. Now that he was sure of the threat, Kaos felt relieved. Looking at Li Fuzhen who still wanted to be his matchmaker, he said teasingly.
"Well...if Mr. Kaos likes me, I naturally don't care, but I am already married."
Li Fuzhen was stunned by Kaos's words, and then he politely nodded his head, and spoke in a low voice to explain and evade.
"I don't like spending dowry on women, and it's good that Miss Fuzhen has a family, so that our children can have a happy family in the future."
Seeing that Kaos still looked like a gentle and courteous lady after being teased by his words, he couldn't help but continue teasing her.
As for using the shares in Li Yunxin's name as a dowry, it's just a joke. After all, the two of them are going to get married. Compared with the net worth of both parties, I'm afraid it's you who will lose in the end.
What's more, Kaos has no idea of joining the other party. Li Fuzhen is very good here. He is both beautiful and capable. Maybe he can become a nail for him to penetrate into Samsung.
So Kaos stared at Li Fuzhen's pretty face again, blinked his eyes and said again: "I want to give the mother the control of the new company."
Anyway, now this new company has limited influence on Samsung, so it doesn't matter if it is handed over. It can even make the other party feel more at ease, and the reward is Li Fuzhen, one of our own.
Sometimes the victory of a battle depends not only on the present, but also on the future situation. If Li Fuzhen can really seize the throne of Samsung, then the company will eventually be passed on to the two children, even if it is unsuccessful.
The worst case scenario for Kaos is to withdraw its shares.
I believe that the rising stock price of Samsung in more than ten years will be enough to repay Kaos's investment, not to mention the equity dividends for more than ten years, which will not be a small number, and it will not be a loss for Kaos.
.
However, this is a dispensable chess piece for Kaos, but it is extremely valuable help for Li Fuzhen, which greatly increases her voice in the family.
