giants of the era

Chapter 401
Regarding the matter of JK Rowling, Li Zetian didn't think much about it. After making arrangements, he continued to pay attention to the follow-up development of the Asian financial crisis.

Soros finally attacked Russia, and he suffered a disastrous defeat. The loss was not small, and the Asian financial crisis came to an end.

In early July, Li Zetian sent people to formally launch a takeover offer to Samsung Group and Lotte Group.

3nd night.

In the living room, Li Zetian and the others were chatting.

Li Zetian sat on the sofa, eating melon seeds, and said with a smile: "Jingqiu, Yuqin, I'm planning to go to Korea! Hehe, it's such an interesting and impressive thing to buy a Korean company, how can I not go there myself?" ?”

Dongfang Yuqin said: "If you go, you will definitely attract the attention of the Korean media."

Yu Jingqiu joked: "If too many companies are acquired by you, the Korean people will definitely lose face. I guess, at that time, the Korean media will definitely report that you are actually Korean, not Chinese..."

Hearing this, the corner of Li Zetian's mouth twitched, and he was stunned for a moment.

Yu Jingqiu shrugged and said with a smile: "The Koreans say that Confucius is from Korea, and they are planning to apply for the world cultural heritage with the Confucian Memorial Ceremony. They also say that movable type printing was first invented by Koreans and their ancestors, and they even say that Chinese characters are also Korean. It was invented by humans! Hehe, if they insist that the world’s richest man, Chronos Li, is also Korean, I won’t be surprised at all!!”

Li Zetian couldn't help laughing when he heard this, and then jokingly said: "Korea is really terrible! Everything belongs to Korea, and the universe belongs to Korea!"

As soon as Li Zetian finished speaking, Dongfang Yuqin and Yu Jingqiu also laughed.

……

The next morning, Li Zetian took a private plane to South Korea, while Dongfang Yuqin stayed in the United States to do other things, such as cashing out the stocks of Internet companies as soon as possible.

After an eleven-hour flight, Li Zetian arrived in Seoul, South Korea.

Seoul is the capital of South Korea, formerly known as Seoul, the tenth largest city in the world, the largest city on the Korean Peninsula, and one of the major financial cities in Asia.

Seoul, which was once very prosperous, is now a bit bleak.

"Mr. Li, I heard that Koreans donate their gold and silver jewelry to save the country's economy!" said a new assistant beside Li Zetian.

"Well, it seems to be." Li Zetian nodded. He also saw the news in the newspaper and couldn't help sighing a little.

"However," Li Zetian paused, and said, "For the financial crisis in South Korea, the gold donated by the Korean people is just a drop in the bucket! In fact, in my opinion, there are not many Koreans who donate gold. After all, many people are very selfish. The South Korean government advertised the fact that some people donated gold, the purpose of which is to boost morale, increase cohesion, and enhance people's confidence to survive this financial crisis!"

Chatting and chatting, we soon arrived at the hotel where we stayed.

After eating a sumptuous Korean meal in the hotel, I was ready to go back to my room and rest for an hour or two.

South Korea is 13 hours ahead of the United States, and it is still broad daylight in Seoul at this time.

"Mr. Li, the meeting time with Lee Kun-hee, chairman of Samsung, is at 12 noon Seoul time." The new assistant said.

"Okay, I see. Let me know when he comes."

In fact, Li Zetian is not very tired, but in order to adjust the time difference, he plans to sleep for a while now.

A few hours later, the door of the room rang.

"Mr. Li, President Li is here, and he is waiting for you in the hotel's small meeting room!"

"Okay, I'll be there right away." Li Zetian responded, got up from the bed, washed up briefly, arranged his clothes, and opened the door for the appointment.

Soon, Li Zetian walked into a luxurious conference room!

"Mr. Li, hello!!!"

Just as Li Zetian pushed the door open, a middle-aged man stood up and walked towards Li Zetian with a smile on his face.

Li Zetian looked him up and down, he was of medium build, slightly fat, and there was nothing unusual about his appearance, but this person should be Li Jianxi.

At this moment, Li Jianxi looked very haggard, Samsung's bankruptcy made him physically and mentally exhausted!

"Hello, Mr. Li Jianxi!" Li Zetian smiled, stretched out his hand, and shook hands with him.

The two greeted each other briefly and sat down.

"It's already noon now, otherwise we would chat while having lunch. The Korean food in this hotel is very authentic and will definitely leave you with endless aftertaste!" Li Jianxi said.

"Okay, I can't ask for it!" Li Zetian replied.

After ordering, Li Jianxi sighed slightly: "Oh, I didn't expect that a financial crisis would suddenly erupt in Asia, which would cause Samsung to go bankrupt!"

After speaking, Li Jianxi looked at Li Zetian with a hint of deep meaning in his eyes.

Originally, Samsung could survive.But I don't know why, Samsung seems to be targeted and suppressed, which eventually led to bankruptcy.

But right now, Li Zetian suddenly wants to acquire Samsung, which has to make Li Jianxi have a little association.

Could it be that Li Zetian is behind the scenes targeting Samsung? !
Li Zetian was very calm, there was no wave in the ancient well, holding a teacup, he tasted it slowly.Even if Li Jianxi knew that Samsung was brought down by Li Zetian, there was nothing he could do.Right now, Samsung is about to be split up and auctioned off by the bank. Li Jianxi, the unworthy descendant, is deeply ashamed for not being able to keep his ancestral property. If he can sell Samsung to a powerful new boss, he will be worthy of the hard work that has been working hard for Samsung. Employees, don't put them out of work.Of course, being able to sell at a high price is also a reason.

Obviously, the new boss of Samsung, Li Zetian, is the most suitable!

It didn't take long for Korean delicacies to be served, including Kimchi Smecta.

The two continued to chat while eating.

I said a lot of polite words before, and now I finally got to the point.

Li Jianxi spoke first. He didn't expect Li Zetian to be more patient than him, "Mr. Li, how do you plan to acquire Samsung?"

"Samsung's debt ratio is very high, so I naturally choose debt acquisition!" Li Zetian said lightly.Acquisition can be divided into debt acquisition and non-debt acquisition. The former assumes the debt of the acquired party, while the latter does not.Debt-based acquisitions are naturally not very expensive because they have to assume the debts of the other party.

After the Asian financial crisis, South Korea's economy recovered quickly, and Li Zetian naturally had the confidence to develop Samsung!What's more, in his previous life, he had read a lot of materials about Samsung's development history on the Internet, and he was very sure.

Li Jianxi nodded, as if he knew Li Zetian's answer.

Li Zetian continued at this time: "However, I don't plan to acquire some subsidiaries."

Some subsidiaries are very dependent on the support of the South Korean government to develop. As an outsider, Li Zetian will definitely not get the support of the South Korean government. If he acquires such a company, the result will be bankruptcy!

Li Zetian looked at the assistant beside him. Immediately, the manager took out a document from the file bag and handed it to Li Zetian.

Li Zetian handed the document to Li Jianxi again, and said, "I have made a list with the companies and prices I want to acquire. President Li Jianxi can take a look!"

"Oh……"

Li Jianxi opened the file and browsed it. The more he looked, the more ugly his expression became.

"Mr. Li, your bid is too low!!!" Li Jianxi said angrily.

Li Zetian smiled and said: "Where is it low? I don't think it is low at all! Chairman Li Jianxi, you should know that many companies have suffered huge losses and their assets have shrunk sharply due to the Asian financial crisis, including the Samsung Group! Currently , Samsung has a lot of responsibilities. I bought Samsung, and I have to pay off huge debts for it. Chairman Lee Kun-hee, tell yourself, is my offer sincere? If someone else buys Samsung, there will never be I am so generous!"

Li Jianxi's face is gloomy, and it's hard to eat the food!
"Mr. Li, after the financial crisis, Samsung will definitely be able to recover quickly. Your price is too low, right? You also want to buy Samsung for $250 billion?" Li Jianxi said in a disdainful tone.

Li Zetian said lightly: "Without a huge capital injection, Samsung will go bankrupt immediately. How can we recover? Right now, only I have the strength to buy most of Samsung in a package! If Samsung is auctioned by the bank, all subsidiaries, including Technology, equipment, factory buildings, etc. may be divided up by how many companies. At that time, not only Samsung will cease to exist, but I am afraid that even you shareholders will not even get a penny. After all, Samsung owes too much money, and the debt will be repaid after the auction..."

Speaking of this, Li Zetian deliberately stopped, glanced at Li Jianxi, and said: "President Li Jianxi, I'm afraid you don't want to see this!"

Li Jianxi's face changed when he heard this, he was ashamed, his lips moved again and again, but he didn't make a sound.

As if Li Zetian didn't see the other person's expression, he picked up the wine glass and took a sip, looking very comfortable, it can be said that he was holding the pearl of wisdom.
