Chapter 477: Turn your hand and it will be clouds, turn your hand and it will be rain (double update)
"Quan Ka Ka, are you serious?"
"If we choose to let him go now, all our efforts will be wasted!"
Although Roh Tae-woo did not approve of Chun Doo-hwan's approach from the beginning, things have come to this point. As the saying goes, once the arrow is shot, there is no turning back. Wouldn't it be a complete failure to let him go now?
If we let the Li father and son go back at this time, revenge will surely follow.
Quan Douhuan, who has always been shrewd, would definitely understand this truth!
"Don't worry, Yongtang, I have my own rules for this matter, just follow my orders."
In order to make the plan successful, Quan Douhuan never told his good brother Roh Tae-woo about his cooperation with Lin Zehao.
It’s not something worth bringing to the surface, so the fewer people who know about it, the better, so as to avoid affecting your public image.
"Well, Quan Kaka, I really hope you have a backup plan."
"loyalty!"
Roh Tae-woo walked out helplessly, and only the calm Jeon Doo-hwan was left in the office.
The Li family mansion.
As soon as Lee Byung-chul came out, he went to the hospital for a physical examination, and only Lee Kun-hee returned home alone.
After dealing with the media that were chasing him, he saw Lin Zehao sitting on the sofa as soon as he entered the door.
To be honest, Lee Kun-hee was very moved when he saw this scene.
During this sensitive time, most people tried to avoid him, but Lin Zehao came to his home to visit him as soon as possible, which showed his deep affection.
However, before Lee Kun-hee could get his emotions in place, Lee Wenbin handed him a document.
"This is?"
Lee Kun-hee, who was originally confused, looked more and more uglier as he flipped through the documents, and he looked so gloomy that water seemed to drip out of it.
"It's high! It's really high!"
"Mr. Lin's move of pretending to build a plank road while secretly attacking Chencang is definitely a stroke of genius."
"Quan Douhuan really found the right person to work with you."
Lee Kun-hee tore the documents in his hands into pieces, as if he wanted to vent all his anger during this period!
As the head of a chaebol, he rarely loses his composure like this.
But the content of this document is really unbearable.
The content is very simple. Lin Zehao now owns 63% of Samsung Group's shares and has absolute controlling rights.
This means that from this moment on, the Samsung Group is no longer named Lee.
Lee Kun-hee was unable to accept the fact that his family business, which could have lasted for thousands of years, had now been handed over to someone else.
He slumped on the sofa, his head in his hands, not saying a word.
At this time, Lin Zehao said, "According to the agreement between me and Brother Rihai, he will get half of the market value of Samsung. In fact, this business will not reflect much value to me in the short term, but will actually be a loss."
"To tell you the truth, you only have two options now. First, transfer the Samsung Group's shares to me, allow your family to retain 10%, and then become the new chairman of the Samsung Group."
"Second, I will take all your shares, and you will no longer have a place in Goryeo."
Lin Zehao had already thought about the fate of Samsung Group.
He will definitely not appear in the spotlight and become the president that everyone pays attention to. Instead, he will actually control the overall situation behind the scenes by establishing a series of branches.
First of all, he was a foreigner, which was definitely an obstacle in the already xenophobic Goryeo. It would arouse the people's rebellious psychology and cause the company to suffer unnecessary losses.
It's like decades later, even though Wall Street in America is Samsung's largest holding capital, it still controls everything behind the scenes.
You can make every penny without having to deal with so much hassle.
Secondly, the Lee family is indeed deeply rooted in Samsung, and it is difficult to completely eradicate it at once, otherwise the entire group will definitely be paralyzed.
It is more reasonable to use the method of boiling a frog in warm water while stabilizing the opponent.
Too radical measures are definitely not suitable at this time.
Of course, the deeper reason is because of Quan Douhuan.
After getting rid of the Samsung Lee family, Lin Zehao, who completely swallowed up Samsung, will become the new chaebol. This is completely inevitable.
By that time, what would Quan Douhuan's attitude towards him be?
Although Quanquan Douhuan would certainly not dare to confront him forcefully because of his connections with the United States, no one could guarantee how things would develop in a year, ten years, or even dozens of years.
Therefore, Lin Zehao made arrangements in advance and used the Li family as a buffer.
On the surface, Lee Kun-hee still controls Samsung, and the Lee family is still the chaebol that is at its peak.
In fact, the person who truly decides the direction of Goryeo's economy and the fate of the nation is Lin Zehao, who possesses absolute power!
As I said, there are never real friends or real enemies in business.
Positions can change anytime and anywhere. What determines everything is only interests, eternal and unchanging interests!
"Hahahahahaha, I lost, the Li family lost, but Quan Douhuan didn't win either, he was also tricked by you!"
"Hahahahaha! How pathetic! The top figures in Goryeo's business and political circles are all being played around by you!"
Li Jianxi laughed louder and louder, even tears came out of his eyes, but his eyes were full of sadness. At this moment, he finally understood how powerful Lin Zehao's methods were!
It is no exaggeration to say that clouds appear with a flip of the hand and rain appears with the flip of the hand!
Faced with these two paths, it is actually very easy for Lee Kun-hee to choose. If he were alone, he would definitely choose the second path. He would never be a submissive subordinate under Lin Zehao and have to look at his face all day long.
Unfortunately, as a middle-aged man he is no longer alone, he has a wife, children, and family members.
Although it would be free and easy to completely leave the Samsung Group, his living standards would inevitably plummet. He is not familiar with the conditions in other countries, so how easy would it be to make a comeback?
As the head of the family, Lee Kun-hee must consider the survival of the family instead of acting on his own emotions.
"I choose one."
"I'll go back and sort out the shares and transfer them to you tomorrow."
"Do you need me to hold an inauguration ceremony for you within the group?"
After venting his anger, Lee Kun-hee quickly adapted to his new identity change.
In fact, everyone in this world is the same. You have to make sure you are alive before you have the qualifications to talk about your ideals.
If you can't even guarantee the most basic survival, it's nonsense to talk about anything else.
Lin Zehao shook his head and said with a smile: "You don't need to test me. I have already said that I don't want anyone to know about the changes in Samsung Group. The fewer people know about my existence, the better."
"You are still the president that everyone is looking forward to. In the future, your son will also be the president, and your son's son may also be the president, and so on and so forth, endlessly."
Lin Zehao no longer needs exposure now. For businessmen like them, too much exposure is definitely not a good thing.
It’s like Musk decades later, who is regarded as the light of mankind by his fans. What will be the end of such a person?
The rules that govern the world are never subject to personal will. Even the world's richest man or the head of a country must follow the rules.
Those who want to overturn the table usually don't end up well.
"Yes, Mr. Lin."
After dealing with Lee Kun-hee, Lin Zehao quickly took control of the Samsung Group and became the real master.
This massive struggle between the Blue House and the Samsung Group ended in a way that the spectators could never have imagined.
It seems that nothing has changed at all.
In fact, everything has changed.
However, for most people, now that the stock price has returned to normal, Samsung Group has resumed work, and they can get salaries, the rest of the things have nothing to do with them.
When some people are happy, others are worried. Quan Douhuan just couldn't be happy at all when he saw the astronomical sums of money being deposited into his bank account.
The reason is very simple. Although the chairman of Samsung Group was changed, it was only from Lee Byung-chul to Lee Kun-hee.
I ask, is there any difference between the two?
Thinking of this, Quan Douhuan could no longer suppress his inner doubts, so he called Lin Zehao and made an appointment to meet at the Blue House in the evening.
Time soon came to evening and Lin Zehao arrived at the appointment on time.
In the banquet hall of the Blue House, Quan Douhuan and Lin Zehao sat face to face, and the dishes on the table were very rich.
Of course, Lin Zehao has never been interested in anything related to Goryeo.
"Brother Lin, this time it's all thanks to you."
"Here, let me toast you."
Quan Douhuan took the initiative to raise his glass, his attitude was very sincere and his posture was extremely humble.
If other people saw this scene, they would definitely question their lives.
When would Quan Kaka be so servile to a businessman?
Do you know more about Xibingku Hotel?
"You're welcome. This is a win-win cooperation."
Lin Zehao clinked his glass with his, then drank the cup with a smile.
After Quan Douhuan drank a glass of wine, his face was flushed, and the corners of his mouth that were raised high were harder to suppress than an AK-47.
It's not that he doesn't have cunning, it's just that he made too much money by taking down Samsung this time.
How much is half of Samsung Group’s market value in cash?
Let me put it this way, at the beginning of the year, the market value of Samsung Group was 2 billion, not in Korean won, but in US dollars!
Even though Samsung Group's stock market collapsed due to Lin Zehao's actions recently, its market value was still 10 billion US dollars at its lowest point.
In other words, Quan Douhuan made 500 million US dollars from this incident!
You have to know that this was 500 million US dollars in 1986!
There is no need to say more about how strong its purchasing power is, right?
This amount of money, if not squandered recklessly, would be enough to support three, no! five generations of Douhuan!
Therefore, since Lin Zehao has brought such huge benefits to Quan Douhuan, it is normal for him to be humble.
This is the power of money!
After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.
Quan Douhuan finally couldn't hold back and brought up the matter of Lee Kun-hee.
"Brother Lin, didn't we agree that the Li family would be kicked out of Samsung Group and you would be in charge?"
