Chapter 473 Stock Price Collapse (Double Update)
Samsung Group Headquarters, Seocho, Seoul.
In this island country where money is as frugal as land, Samsung Group's headquarters covers an area of more than 20 hectares and is divided into three major groups: Samsung Life, Samsung Electronics and Samsung C&T.
The industrial park, which used to be peaceful and prosperous, has recently become extremely noisy, with shareholders holding banners and crying miserably everywhere.
[Samsung Group, give me back my hard-earned money! ]
[The Li family has lost all conscience and is a traitor to the country. They should be executed immediately! ]
[Lee Byung-chul I’m XXXX, ah, I’m XXX your whole family! ]
Because of the investigation into the Samsung Group, stock prices plummeted and countless citizens declared bankruptcy on the spot.
Some people choose to jump off the building, while others choose to drag others down with them even if they die!
In just a few days, more than twenty vicious injury cases broke out throughout Goryeo. The perpetrators basically lost money in stocks and started to randomly retaliate against passers-by.
Anyway, for them, if they kill one, they can break even, if they kill two, they won’t lose money, and if they kill three, they will definitely make a profit.
As a result, an atmosphere of panic began to spread and social resentment was enormous!
Under such circumstances, Quan Douhuan could only send out the National Self-Defense Force to maintain public order.
Other cities were fine, but when the people of Gwangju saw this familiar scene, they couldn't help but think of the three sticks per second incident. When they saw the Self-Defense Forces, they turned around and ran away as if they were criminals. As a result, no one dared to go out on the streets. This was considered a disguised way of maintaining law and order.
The camera once again focused on the Samsung Group's headquarters building, where the protesters were confronting Samsung's security.
"Ah, are you all crazy? Stocks are a thing where you gain and lose. What do you do when you win? But when you lose, you protest and march. Is your head filled with shit?"
"Everyone, step back. This is private territory. If you continue forward, we will take coercive measures!"
Samsung's security guards, armed with rubber sticks and steel forks, pressed forward step by step.
The protesting crowd could only keep retreating, but their shouting became louder and louder.
At this time, a middle-aged man in his forties walked out of the crowd. His hair was messy, his suit was full of wrinkles and stains, and his face was full of despair.
"Shit! What are you doing? Get back here right now!"
Facing the security guard's warning, the middle-aged man said nothing. He just silently took out a bottle of mineral water from his pocket, unscrewed the lid, and poured it on his head.
After doing all this, a lighter also appeared in his hand.
"Oh no, gasoline!"
The strong smell of gasoline made the security personnel's faces change drastically, and they all retreated to a distance.
Work is work, they don't need to risk their lives for this little monthly salary. What if this person is so depressed that he gets cremated and ascends to heaven? There won't be time to escape!
Even the protesters were shocked and looked at each other as they retreated.
Was this link mentioned before departure?
They are also confused!
"Don't do anything stupid! Even if you lose money on stocks, there are still many more beautiful things in the world that are worth your nostalgia!"
“Think about your wife!”
The security captain quickly put down the rubber stick in his hand and began to counsel the man.
The middle-aged man's face became darker and darker. "Because of the loss of money in the stock market, my wife ran away with the neighbor next door."
What the hell!
Which pot really does not open!
The security captain immediately changed the subject, "Think about your daughter. If you, as a father, die, what will she do in the future?"
He is a man with more life experience and knows the living conditions of most middle-aged men. Especially looking at his outfit, he is a typical office worker, and he must be the type with elderly parents and young children.
Hearing this, the middle-aged man's eyes dimmed a little more. "When my wife ran away with the neighbor, she sold my daughter. She was only five years old. I'm afraid I will never see her again in this life..."
Oh my god!
Everyone looked at the security captain with strange eyes!
Is this really an advice to live?
Aren't you hoping that he'll die soon?
The security captain was also confused. Even if he racked his brains, he could not have imagined that someone would be so miserable!
He wanted to persuade him again, but the quick-handed security guard covered his mouth and said, "Captain, please stop talking. Someone will die!"
"It's gone, there's nothing left..."
"What's the point of me living? What's the point of this world..."
The middle-aged man tremblingly rubbed the lighter, and a flame suddenly appeared, producing a chemical reaction with the gasoline.
Boom!
The next second, he was completely engulfed in flames, and thick smoke mixed with the pungent smell of barbecue drifted far away along the west wind.
“Life is too tiring…”
"In my next life, I will never come again..."
The middle-aged man didn't utter a scream, not even a faint groan, before he was completely devoured by the flames. He lay on the ground, turning into a striking ball of light.
“Ah!!!” “Murder, help!”
"Someone come! Run!"
In just a moment, the scene became extremely chaotic!
Panic and fear were written all over everyone's face, and they were running around aimlessly like headless flies.
Even the security personnel were no exception. No one could remain calm in the face of death.
The fire lasted for a long time, and the thick smoke gradually dissipated, leaving only a dried corpse that looked like a dried mummy.
It really is true that people come naked and leave naked.
By the time the authorities intervened, it was too late.
The consequences of this incident cannot be suppressed by the Samsung Group alone.
This incident spread quickly to every corner of Goryeo at lightning speed, and even made the front page headlines of international news the next day.
Authoritative media such as The Times and The New York Times all reported this incident.
Some clickbait headlines even called this middle-aged man who set himself on fire the "eternal angel in flames."
Not only that, this incident also extends to many thoughts about the financial industry. In order to gain attention and traffic, many people directly began to criticize the meaning of the existence of stocks, and they were just short of saying that stocks were set up to make money.
Lin Zehao put down the newspaper in his hand, rubbed his brows, and said, "Is this also arranged by us?"
Seeing this, Lee Young-ae immediately began to gently massage his shoulders to relieve the pressure.
During this period, in order to deal with the Samsung Group, Lin Zehao did not dare to slack off at all and devoted 120% of his energy.
Li Wenbin immediately denied it, "Brother Hao, these are definitely not our people. We only arranged those parade teams, and many of them were attracted and joined spontaneously."
Lin Zehao nodded slightly, then looked at Fang Zhanbo and asked, "How is the financial market?"
Fang Zhanbo had two thick dark circles under his eyes, just like a giant panda, and said: "Now Samsung's stock price has fallen to its lowest level in history. As this matter continues to ferment, it will definitely continue to fall when it opens tomorrow."
"I have already started buying in large quantities as you requested."
Lin Zehao closed his eyes and enjoyed Li Yingai's service. "Well, eat as much as you can. I won't refuse anyone."
"Once this matter is done, I will definitely not treat you unfairly."
Fang Zhanbo nodded excitedly and said, "Don't worry, Brother Hao, I will complete the task."
He has been following Brother Hao for quite some time and knows very well that the boss never makes empty promises and always keeps his word.
"Abin, it's time to start exposing the Li family's scandals. Don't they like to mess around? Let the people of Goryeo see how much money the chaebols really spend."
"Also, inform Arthur that he can send someone to negotiate with the Li family. The purpose is just one word: delay."
"Understood." Li Wenbin wrote down the instructions and nodded heavily.
Lin Zehao has prepared many plans to take over the Samsung Group.
In a word, the goal is to overwhelm the Li family, with various means emerging one after another, and attacks from all directions erupting at the same time!
Including but not limited to finance, ethics, society, politics, law and more!
This combination of punches requires the effort of two lifetimes. Let's see what old man Lee Byung-chul can do to block it!
"Brother Hao, after your attack, I think the Li family has lost their way."
Li Wenbin was right. Lee Kun-hee’s head is about to explode.
"How do you guys do things? Why can you do everything?"
"This department asks me to sign, and that department asks me to make decisions. Why should I support you? Are you here to eat dry food?"
Lee Kun-hee has lost his temper countless times today. He swears that the number of brain cells that have died during this period must be more than that of tadpoles!
The huge Samsung Group, which was originally at its peak, suddenly became like a dilapidated house with leaks everywhere. There was no good place and it was surrounded by enemies on all sides!
The subordinates didn't dare to refute and could only lower their heads and prepare to be scolded.
"What are you still standing here for? Are you waiting for me to treat you to a meal?"
"West Eighth Road Horses! Get out of here!"
After his subordinates left the office, Lee Kun-hee picked up the phone on the desk and tried to solve the problem using his connections.
"Minister Park, do you have time to have dinner together tonight?"
"I have discovered a few new female stars and I guarantee that they will be trained to be obedient."
"No time? That's a shame. How about another day?"
"Oh, I have to go on a business trip. That's really unfortunate..."
Lee Kun-hee made more than a dozen phone calls in a row, and his face became increasingly gloomy, as if water could drip out of it.
He had all kinds of excuses, either he was on a business trip, accompanying his wife, or his mother was in poor health. There was another one that was even more outrageous. He probably didn't even bother to make up an excuse and just used his mother's pregnancy as an excuse.
At this time, Lee Kun-hee finally realized that this was a large enough conspiracy against the Samsung Group and the Lee family!
This cannot be achieved just by relying on Quan Douhuan's power!
There must be other forces involved!
This force is not only sophisticated in its methods, but also extremely powerful!
