Chapter 237 The Betrayer (1)
The jade is exquisite all night, slanting across the water and the moon. The lonely shadow moves, afraid of being shocked by the dream of flowers.
On April 23, Kim Jong-ming did not wake up Chu Long at all, but got up alone very early because today is another Monday, and he still has an episode of "Runningman" to be recorded.
Well, as for where Zheng Ermao is, to be honest, Kim Jong-ming has forgotten it. Anyway, he can't lose such a big person. As for when he was rubbing against Lee Jae-suk's nanny car, he found that some ridiculous news about himself and Yuri were flooding the screen everywhere, he didn't care... Otherwise? Anyway, Chu Long knew who he was with last night.
So, life is actually that simple and casual.
However, for some people who are in trouble, this Monday becomes particularly unbearable because Monday itself means that some things are back into the rhythm.
"Jin Zhongming reached another deal in the United States yesterday, but it was still the same. Before he could go public, he would have to cash out the stocks of K. It is conceivable that our GV theater chain will be publicly raising the market as soon as the stock market opens." This is the regular J-level breakfast meeting that has lasted for more than half a month. In the conference room, everyone was eating breakfast produced by their own company while listening to some briefings. At this moment, the person speaking was Li Meijing, and the J-headquarters had been coordinating and responsible for M.
It is worth mentioning here that although this director Lee Mi-kyung's surname is Lee, it is just a coincidence. In fact, he is the aunt's cousin of J President Lee Jae-hyun, not from Lee Jae-bin, Lee Jae-hyun, and Lee Jae-yong's Samsung Lee.
"I can't hold on." Sun Jingzhi, the common uncle of Lee Jae-hyun and Lee Mi-kyung, also the second-person J person, immediately put down the oatmeal porridge and wiped his mouth. "Cash is a good thing, but in Korea these days, we are definitely not among the companies that can compete with Kim Jong-ming for cash. Who can resist billions of dollars? What's more, the situation is subtle now, and banks and other companies have no possibility of helping. So from the perspective of commercial operations, either suspend trading or give up! It is the ridiculous way to hold on!"
As soon as this was said, Li Jae-hyun, who was sitting in the first place, said nothing. The group of senior executives of Sun Li's company immediately whispered, but the general meaning was the same, that is, they would rather suspend the market and reorganize the market and add non-performing assets or something into it than give up such a large plate.
Think about it, in South Korea, industry means everything, and gv cinema has long been a healthy and profitable asset. Not to mention the commercial value here, just from the personal perspective of these people, how many family children can be placed there? How many people can be the top level of this society with the blood relationship of one parent?
If it is suddenly the case, if one carrot and one pit, someone might fall out of the core layer here. Who is willing to?
As a result, the discussions are becoming more and more unified, and as for the so-called eO professional managers, although they have sat a lot, they have not said anything... After all, they are workers, and they still need to be aware of the workers.
"I oppose suspension!" As he spoke, someone slapped this sentence publicly to the two families. Moreover, although the voice was abrupt, it seemed so leisurely.
Everyone looked in the voice and determined the owner of the voice. Almost all the senior executives of J changed their faces because they were talking to a heavyweight figure, but they really had neither the surname Li nor Sun, but Zheng.
By the way, the history of J Group has been said many times. Although Samsung founder Lee Byung-chul drove his eldest son out of the house, he gave his eldest daughter-in-law a food industry that started with Samsung. Then, with the support of Sun Jingzhi, the old uncle, Lee Jae-hyun developed the current J Group with this industry, and the company's basic foundation is basically the children of the two companies.
However, since it is a chaebol, J is inevitably unique to the Korean chaebol, which is to conduct complex and overestimate its industry in order to expand. This chaebol looks like a very powerful monster from afar. When you get closer, you are actually a random group of randomly dependent on core industries.
So back to the current J Group, the assets of this chaebol are mainly concentrated on three large plates. The fundamental food industry is being snatched by Kim Jong-ming’s pan-entertainment industry. Both of them are under the control of the Sun and Li’s children. But there is another, the emerging game industry. Although it belongs to J in name, there is a person named Zheng Hongjun who has a huge influence and control over J’s game industry.
In fact, how capable and energy Mr. Zheng is in the group can be seen from one place. Speaking of which, in addition to the president of J Group, Lee Jae-hyun, there are three representative directors, namely Lee Jae-hyun himself, his uncle Sun Jingzhi, and the rest is naturally called Zheng Hong-jun.
In short, no one can ignore this person's existence and suggestions, because this is a real major shareholder, which makes people angry and directly lead the company to get off the big ship of J. What can you do?
"Why?" Li Jae-hyun, who looked tired and kept chewing bread, finally squinted his eyes and spoke. "If Lao Zheng has any ideas, everyone is their own."
"Of course it's because suspension of trading is more harmful than good!" Zheng Hongjun replied without hesitation. "Suspension of trading, mixing poisonous balls into it, or playing with other financial means can certainly save GV theaters for a while, but have you ever thought that doing so will greatly hit the market and investors' confidence in our entire J!"
"But Representative Zheng." The 74-year-old uncle Sun Jingzhi looked around and understood that at this time, he could only talk to Lee Jae-hyun himself, and the others had no room for interruption. "Our GV theaters have good profits. Once the financial statements come out, the market confidence will eventually come back."
"Representative Sun." Zheng Hongjun immediately refuted it. "You are talking about GV theaters, which have 600 screens and many real estate as the terminal industry of the theater, and it is the real economy. Of course it is fine. But I am not talking about this at all. I am talking about its suspension of trading and other industries of J. Specifically, it refers to the game industry that is particularly affected by investor confidence! Now, the game industry in South Korea is in a comprehensive outbreak under the leadership of the government, and the government's support is unprecedented. Even specific game researchers can be exempted from military service... At this time, suddenly there is a financial problem with its parent company. What do investors think?"
"We have no financial problems." A director named Sun carefully interjected.
"Then why is the trading suspension?" Zheng Hongjun asked coldly.
The whole scene was silent.
"The logic is that simple." Zheng Hongjun looked back at Li Jae-hyun, who was sitting at the top. "The suspension of trading will cause the market to lack confidence in the entire J Group, and the industry is different from the industry. Perhaps manufacturing and monopoly industries are not afraid of this. Perhaps GV theaters can really survive because of this, but the fundamental reason for emerging Internet companies is the confidence of investors. Doing so is it very likely that our game industry will lose its competitiveness at the most critical moment. So I suggest that it is better to sell GV theaters directly to the other party. Is there anything there? For the sake of industrial adjustments, didn't we sell the beverage industry in exchange for the full monopoly of sugar making? No one said anything? After all, trading is not the same as suspension..."
Having said that, maybe because he felt a little aggressive, Zheng Hongjun took the initiative to slow down his tone: "Of course, this is because I am responsible for the game industry within the group, so he raised objections. President Li, you are the president. You can make a new decision from a global perspective, but please be sure to consider everyone's opinions in a comprehensive way. Everyone... After all, it's for the good of the group."
"I understand." Lee Jae-hyun tried hard to squeeze out a smile. "I did receive Representative Zheng's opinion."
The breakfast meeting ended badly, but Lee Jae-hyun's real seven or eight confidants stayed for tea. This is because they all know that whether it is suspension of trading or abandoning GV theaters, they actually need to make a decision as soon as possible. After all, if Kim Jong-ming really raises his shares again and again in the stock market, that would be a real joke!
"Zheng Hongjun is too unauthorized to do this." The Sun family's son in charge of J Cinemas was the first to fire. "Everyone has been in so many years, and now you have encountered some difficulties, how can he put a knife behind his back?"
"You can't say that." Sun Jingzhi is used to the storm, and it's always the most appropriate for his nephew to teach a lesson. "Representative Zheng is just talking about the matter after all, and he has been withdrawing funds from the game industry for this period. He has never complained, and he is still very stable in the face of the big troubles."
"But it is precisely because of this that we must pay more attention to his opinions." Li Jae-bin, who had been silent, echoed softly for half of the sentence, not knowing whether it was his recognition or refutation of Sun Jingzhi.
"I understand." Lee Jae-hyun rubbed his hair with some messy confidence. "Everyone who invests confidence and position are vague. It's just that the stalemate is still stalemate, and there is still no hope of victory. The so-called morale of the army is floating, and close to Lao Zheng is vaguely dissatisfied. It is also a normal human nature... But, I can dismiss some people, I can dismiss, refrigerate, and cut the mess quickly, but I can only choose to be favored and comforted, such as Lao Zheng, the third person in the group."
Sun Jingzhi nodded with relief. His nephew did not experience emotional fluctuations because of this matter, and he still faced it with the most rational attitude. It was really decent, and it was not in vain that he, the major shareholder of Samsung Life, had been following the other father and son for decades.
"Is it going to sacrifice GV theaters?" Li Zaibin asked with some difficulty.
"Don't worry." Lee Jae-hyun tried hard to comfort his distant cousin. "If you open the door to do business, whoever has the theater chain in hand? As long as we make the movie well, we will be able to schedule films..."
Li Zaibin took a deep breath, couldn't help but close his eyes, but didn't say anything more. Director Sun, who was in charge of GV theaters, was even more silent.
"But what about tvn and n?" No one else said, but Li Mei-jing asked embarrassedly no matter what. "As far as I know, Kim Jong-ming and the shareholders with official backgrounds of tvn have vaguely reached a tacit understanding. Just wait for the situation to change, and then they can directly join tvn... For unlisted companies, internal shareholder mergers and acquisitions do not require the consent of other shareholders..."
"So I'm most afraid of Erwuzi!" Someone sneered, not knowing what he thought of.
"And m." Sun Jingzhi also smiled bitterly and shook his head. "It is natural for people to be greedy for the sake of Sichuan. This time I ate GV and next time I ate tvn, and then ate m also seemed natural. Do you really want to watch that young man swallow up all one-third of the smallest-third of our company's industries?"
"So we need to talk to him." Lee Jae-hyun rubbed his finger thoughtfully. "First, try to delay time, second, let him give up Han Shenghao."
Sun Jingzhi's eyes lit up, but many of the second-generation children who were in their prime could not help but whisper or look at each other secretly.
By the way, although everyone came to this position by blood relationship, even if a pig has been practicing in such a position for more than ten years, he can still become Marshal Tianpeng. What's more, these people are the best among their own families... The meaning of Li Zaixian's plan is naturally easy to understand:
First of all, the winner is still with Samsung, or Ren Tae-hee. So, even if you let Kim Jong-ming eat it in one bite, as long as you can drag it to the overall situation and win, it will be really ‘take mine and send it back, and vomit it out after eating mine’!
So no matter whether it is relying on trading theaters to show weakness, or playing tricks on TVN or what, the meaning of delaying time is roughly the same.
Second, Han Shenghao's problem. The meaning of this person is not a small n. After all, such a subsidiary is not worth mentioning in J. Even GV theaters and TVN TV stations have to grit their teeth and give up. Even M may even be used as bait and let Kim Jong-ming chew. What is there to say about an n?
The key is that this man is the first deserter! He is the first two-five boy! If he doesn't chop him up to the ground, how can he stabilize the morale of the army, gather morale, and then fight with Samsung?!
After all, Lee Jae-hyun and Sun Jing-sik always put their unforgettable Samsung. Lee Jae-hyun has long-cherished wishes because of his father and son. Sun Jing-sik was the major shareholder of Samsung's life from the beginning and the spokesperson of Lee Meng-hee. They dreamed that they wanted to get back "those who belong to them"!
So what if you sacrifice some J industry for these reasons?
So, Lee Jae-hyun instinctively thought of this plan, and Sun Jingzhi's eyes lit up. However, the "young people" who started their careers here are a little helpless, sad and irritable, because after decades, their generation has already thought differently from their parents. They do not have the unforgettable feelings or bonds towards Samsung or something.
In fact, in this back-to-back battle, their only reason for supporting Lee Jae-hyun was to count on the other party to complete the prince's revenge, and they ran to the height of Samsung's waters. However, the war has been going on for more than two months, and seeing that the situation has not improved, it has become more and more difficult, these people will inevitably feel more and more uneasy.
"What should I do if I lose?" With a stir, Li Zaibin finally couldn't suppress the words in his throat. "Brother, you have to make plans early!"
The conference room was silent, but unexpectedly, Li Jae-hyun was not angry when he heard this, but just picked up the teacup and took a sip. It seemed that as smart as he was, he was also a little clear in his heart.
"I've actually thought about it. If I really lose, with the opposite side's hatred of me, I will definitely go to jail." Li Zaixian said without hesitation. "And you guys must unite to help me, and also help Xianhao protect his foundation."
Li Xianhao is Li Zaixian's youngest son, and the best one among them. He is only 22 years old this year and has been studying in the United States for many years. But as soon as this is said, even if everyone is in a complicated mood, they will inevitably feel sad and feel sad. At the same time, they put away some unnecessary thoughts. After all, it seems that Li Zaixian is still sober now and still knows to protect the core enterprise of J as the foundation for everyone to settle down.
"First of all," Lee Jae-hyun said seriously. "Once I go to jail, I don't know how much it will cost to get back to my freedom, nor how long it will take. But in order to maintain the basic situation of the company and to suppress Zheng Hongjun, at that time, a person who can really control the situation will be needed here to helm for J." After a pause, Lee Jae-hyun turned his head and looked at Sun Jingzhi. "At that time, I'm going to trouble you, uncle, to serve as the president."
Sun Jingzhi nodded without hesitation. In his opinion, only after he gained the power of the president could he completely suppress Zheng Hongjun, so that the big ship J could not fall apart. The Sun family's children below also relaxed their faces. From their perspective, Sun Jingzhi was always speechless when they were the president. As for the others, although they were helpless, they also understood that Sun Jingzhi's qualifications, connections, and status were indeed the best candidate, or even the only candidate, so they nodded fiercely.
"That's good." Seeing everyone agreeing to this plan without thinking, Li Zaixian smiled with relief. He thought that even if he failed, J could safely pass it to his son. "Then, in order to stabilize the authority of our President Sun and ensure that he can suppress all those who have bad intentions inside and outside J, I will announce a rough personnel adjustment. You have a clear idea in your mind. If it really comes to that point, I will conduct formal appointments and removals according to this plan..."
Everyone sat upright. Although it was just a rough division of labor, it was of great importance and they had to be unscrupulous.
In this way, Li Zaixian announced some personnel divisions one by one, and the general meaning was to step by step from the core food industry enterprise to the high-level position of the head office.
It is worth mentioning that Lee Mi-kyung, a figure who is both Sun Jingzhi's nephew and Lee Jae-hyun's cousin, has obviously gained unprecedented importance because of his delicate position in the Sun and Li families. The vice president is responsible for all cultural industries. It is not until "if there is a failure", but it is about to be officially appointed immediately and gather resources to deal with the attack from Kim Jong-ming as soon as possible.
No one objected, which made Lee Jae-hyun even more pleased. The stability behind him was the basis for letting him go.
That's how the meeting ended. Then Lee Jae-hyun was about to get up and comfort Zheng Hongjun himself; Sun Jing-sik was ordered to comfort those miscellaneous small shareholders and company managers; Lee Mi-kyung was the chief and Lee Jae-bin was the deputy, and he was also about to contact Kim Jong-ming immediately, talk about the transfer of GV theaters, and implement the response measures to delay time and divide Han Sheng-ho; the rest of them also received their orders and dispersed one after another.
However, at this moment, an assistant who was already impatient outside the door also rushed in.
Lee Jae-hyun smiled bitterly, as if he had expected it: "Is it the stock market that has been raised again? Just give the documents to Director Li Mei-kyung..."
"President." The assistant glanced at everyone in the conference room, knowing that they were all the other party's confidants, so he didn't cover up. "It's not just that thing, just now, M sent a formal fax, and Kim Kwang-soo proposed that he hoped to propose an internal equity acquisition to us as a major shareholder..."
The entire conference room fell silent again. Just as Han Seung-ho was about to deal with Han Seung-ho, the second 25-year-old appeared... That's right, after the incident just passed, Kim Kwang-soo was already recognized as a waste, but the problem was not here, but this kind of waste actually had a second intention and became a 25-year-old. What about the third one? Will the third one appear? When will it appear? In the entertainment and cultural industry, the situation has really collapsed to such a point?
"Traitor!" Lee Jae-hyun swept the cup in front of him to the ground like an angry lion, and the broken glass residue was splashed all over the ground.
I am so embarrassed because I have no choice but to do anything.
