Return to 2000: Captain of the Great Powers

Chapter 358 Since we can't get it, let's destroy it!
In the chairman's office of the Hando Group headquarters building, the white-haired Hando Group chairman Gu Chengxi looked at the documents in his hand with a gloomy expression. Not far away, a well-proportioned young man with a handsome appearance was lowering his head , the attitude is very respectful.

If Chen Tianyang was here, he would definitely be able to tell that this person was his junior, and not long ago he was begging him to hand over the materials that Korean Air was suspected of indirectly controlling Air Seoul to the prosecutor of the anti-monopoly department.

Gu Chengxi was wearing a white traditional Hanbok, not only had gray hair, but also had some age spots on his face.However, even though the eyes are slightly cloudy, the light that bursts out of them still makes people dare not look directly at them.

Even though the helm of the Korean logistics industry is in his twilight years, his prestige is still there.

Gu Chengxi took off his glasses, put the document down on the table, pondered for a moment, and asked directly: "Tell me, what do you want?"

The young prosecutor was terrified and lowered his head: "President, I am not asking for anything."

"Usually, if you say you don't want something, you actually want more." Gu Chengxi snorted: "I don't like people who beat around the bush. If things are done well, then there should be rewards. This time you Well done, if you hadn't intercepted it, we would have had a really hard time waiting until it was exposed."

The young prosecutor was a little excited: "It's what I should do to be able to work for the president."

"Hehe." Gu Chengxi laughed twice: "The young people nowadays are indeed very good, unlike your senior who gave him a way out and still pestered him endlessly."

Hearing Ju Chengxi mention Chen Tianyang, the young prosecutor trembled, his lips moved, and he mustered up his courage: "President, my senior, he just lost his head, he is just too arrogant, that's why he made such a move." Irrational behavior."

"Arrogance?" Gu Chengxi laughed disdainfully: "However, the head of the Law Department of Seoul National University and the only disciple of An Daoru, he should be a little arrogant. However, this person is good at everything, but he is too naive. He almost died once, but after so many years, he is still naive. Unlike Prosecutor Zheng, you are very knowledgeable about current affairs."

The young prosecutor hurriedly said: "The president is too much."

"Back then, I let him off for the sake of his teacher. This time he still dared to provoke, but he really didn't know how to write dead words." Ju Chengxi raised his eyebrows: "However, I'm going to hurry up. If that kid Cheng Shiwan stops here, I won't be bothered to touch him."

The young prosecutor was overjoyed: "President, I will have a good talk with the senior."

At this moment, the office door was pushed open, and the secretary stood at the door and said respectfully: "Vice President Min Heren is here."

"Let him in." Gu Chengxi responded, and then glanced at the young prosecutor.

The young prosecutor was sensible, so he said goodbye and left the office.

Just as the prosecutor left, a middle-aged man in his 40s entered the office. He was the vice president of Korean Air, Min Heren.

Min Hyuk-in was obviously in awe of Gu Seung-hee, and the dignified vice president of Korean Air was like a child who made a mistake in front of Gu Seung-hee, restless.

"What's wrong with Choi Sang-dao?" Gu Seung-hee's tone was quite flat, neither happy nor sad, but the more it was like this, the more fearful Min Heren felt, because he knew that this was one of the manifestations of Ju Seung-hee's extreme anger.

Min Heren was in a knot: "President Cui Cui is fine, but he may not be able to come out for a while. We are communicating with the disciplinary committee."

"Cui Xiangdao secretly met with the Air Accident Committee. Someone caught such a secret matter, and you didn't investigate?"

"This." Min Heren replied tremblingly: "Chairman Cui saw that the person in the Aviation Accident Committee was led by Director Jin Sheng, and the most direct suspect should be Director Jin, but Director Jin denied it. .”

At the end, Min Heren added: "President, do you want me to ask Director Jin in a different way?"

Of course Gu Seung Hee knew what Min Hyuk In said in another way.

"Forget it, that guy is still useful, don't touch him without absolute proof."

"However, there are rumors that Park Suk-won of Asiana Airlines reported it."

Now even Gu Chengxi was slightly surprised: "Park Xiyuan, how could he know about Cui Xiangdao?"

Min Heren looked embarrassed: "I don't really understand this."

"Hehe, you really don't pretend to be anything in your mind." Gu Chengxi threw the documents on the table to Min Heren: "It's like you don't know that someone has already noticed that Korean Air indirectly controls Air Seoul. .”

"What?" Min Heren's expression changed drastically. He took the document and flipped through a few pages. The expression on his face was green and purple, very ugly: "How could anyone notice our matter with Air Seoul?"

"Useless things, without Choi Sang-dao, you can't do anything, and you need me to wipe your ass." Ju Chengxi scolded: "Go, quickly sort out the shares of Air Seoul, at least in terms of regulations, I don't want to find evidence."

"However, if Air Seoul's shares are to be liquidated, we may have some losses."

"At this time, we are still talking about this little loss." Ju Chengxi was so angry that he was almost cursing: "How can we acquire Asiana Airlines without removing the evidence of controlling Air Seoul? We have been targeted by the anti-monopoly department in land and sea transportation." Come on, if such a problem occurs in air transportation, the pressure will be great."

Gu Chengxi was very emotional, but Min Heren was a little confused: "President, do you still want to buy Asiana Airlines?"

Gu Chengxi was stunned for a moment, and immediately grabbed the pen holder at hand and threw it directly on Min Heren: "Are you a pig's brain? Why do you think you won't buy Asiana Airlines?"

Even though Min Heren watched the pen holder fly over, he didn't dare to move at all, and let the pen holder hit him, grinning from the pain, but he dared not snort.After waiting for a while, he controlled the expression on his face: "President, wasn't the Minzhuang air accident qualitative not long ago? We need to bear a large amount of compensation, and because the air accident is qualitative, it still has a considerable impact on the company's stock price. Such Under the circumstances, if we acquire Asiana Airlines according to the original plan, the financial pressure will be great.”

Gu Chengxi pondered for a moment: "You originally wanted to buy it at half the price, right?"

"Yes, President." Min Heren said in a low voice, "The current price really puts a little pressure on us."

Gu Chengxi stood up, even though his back was hunched, he was still much taller than Min Heren: "The group will allocate additional funds to you, not half of the price, [-]%, the original [-]% of the market value of Asiana Airlines to complete the acquisition."

"Seventy to seventy percent?"

Gu Chengxi stared at Min Heren: "What, can it be done?"

"It can be done, it can be done." Min Heren was extremely excited: "President, I will definitely finish the acquisition of Asiana Airlines."

With a large amount of funding from the parent company, Korean Air will be well-off at once. Isn't this a plan?
"By the way, I heard that another travel company proposed to acquire Asiana Airlines. Is this true?"

Min Heren said with a smile: "A small company that has just registered in Jeju Island is nothing to be afraid of. Moreover, the price they offer is very low, only about a quarter of it. Asiana Airlines would be crazy to agree. We have already talked to Asiana We have contacted the board of directors, and many of them are willing to join us, and now the funds are sufficient, it is absolutely foolproof."

"Is it safe?" Gu Chengxi laughed: "Is this said by mouth?"

Seeing Gu Chengxi's expression, Min Heren's heart trembled, and he immediately put away the arrogance that had just arisen: "President, I will discuss the acquisition at the headquarters of Asiana the day after tomorrow, and the boss of the travel company will also come over. Although it is not the final result, it can basically be determined after this meeting.”

Gu Chengxi raised his eyebrows: "In other words, the ownership of Hana can basically be determined the day after tomorrow?"

"Yes, I will personally go to this meeting."

Gu Chengxi waved his hand: "Go, go and do your work, I hope to hear the good news before sunset the day after tomorrow."

Min Heren immediately bowed and said: "I will bring good news to the chairman."

Ju Chengxi didn't speak any more, just sat back on his seat.

Min Heren knew what Gu Chengxi was thinking, and silently left the office.

Two days later, in the arrival hall of Incheon Airport, Qin Xin, dressed in a white women's suit, walked unhurriedly, followed by legal counsel Lu Yao, and some entourage.

"In a moment, are we going directly to the Asiana headquarters?"

Lu Yao immediately stepped forward: "Yes, Mr. Qin. Today is a preliminary agreement on the acquisition. Not only us, but also Korean Air, as the other party that proposed the acquisition, will send people over. Basically, what is discussed today is the final result. gone."

Wearing sunglasses, Qin Xin just nodded and hummed: "Let's go."

The large conference room on the top floor of the Asiana Airlines headquarters is full of board members. Near the head of the long conference table, an elderly man stands in front of the window with a cane, looking at the base of Asiana Airlines. He is Asiana Lee Myung-ki, chairman of the airline.

"I handed Asiana into your hands, but now you want me to give it away, that's what you did, isn't it?" Li Mingji turned around and looked at the president Park Seok-won standing behind him.

Originally, Park Seok-won was always groveling in front of Li Mingji, but at this moment, facing Li Mingji's questioning, Park Seok-won's expression remained unchanged, but he lowered his head slightly: "President, I deeply regret this. However, Believe me, I will prove myself that this time it was not caused by me, Park Suk Won."

"So you reported Choi Sang-do to the Disciplinary Committee?" Li Mingji raised his eyelids: "Do you want to prevent Korean Air from acquiring Asiana? Or do you think that the rift with Korean Air was too deep before, and Korean Air will acquire it in the future?" Hana, there will no longer be your seat?"

Regarding Li Mingji's determination that he reported Cui Xiangdao, Park Xiyuan did not deny it, but said seriously: "President, even weak ants want to survive, let alone me?"

Li Minji sighed: "So what did your new master promise you?"

"Naturally it's a better future!" With a clear female voice, Qin Xin entered the conference room wearing sunglasses, and she nodded slightly to Li Mingji: "President Li Mingji, we're meeting for the first time, I'm Cangqing Tourism representative of the company."

Li Mingji looked at Qin Xin, then at Park Xiyuan, and suddenly laughed: "The main business of this company is our original business in Jeju Island, right? As a sign of taking refuge in them, you donate our business in Jeju Island to lost them?"

Qin Xin took off her sunglasses: "President Li Mingji, if possible, I would like to talk about the acquisition rather than these small things."

Li Mingji frowned, and immediately laughed: "Why do I think there is nothing to discuss about the acquisition? I have seen the price you offered, do you think we will accept your offer? Obviously we have Korean Air The quotation is much higher than yours."

"However, they want all your shares, and we only need 50.00% of your shares, and you can keep the rest."

"Then what's the difference? What's the difference in retaining 40.00% of Jiu's shares?" Li Mingji snorted, "I don't think we have anything to talk about. The representative of Korean Air is coming soon. I hope you can leave. "

At the end, Li Mingji glanced at a burly man beside him, and said lightly: "See off the guests."

"Of course there is a difference in retaining 40.00% of the shares." Qin Xin smiled lightly: "If the stock price of Asiana Airlines can return to its peak in the future, or even go higher, the income generated will not be higher than that of selling all of them to Korean Air at once. Much more?"

As soon as this remark came out, the other directors in the conference room first gasped, and then roared with laughter.

"Where did the crazy woman come from?"

"Does she know what she's talking about?"

"Back to the top, how is it possible?"

Compared with the ridicule of other directors, Li Mingji did not add sarcasm, but looked at Qin Xin solemnly: "Miss Qin, right? Although I have had such thoughts during this time, it is impossible .”

"Why is it impossible?" Qin Xin stretched out two fingers: "Two years, two years, we will bring the stock price of Asiana Airlines back to its peak. If not, we will buy Asiana Airlines at the highest price in history. The remaining shares in your hands."

As Qin Xin's voice fell, the ups and downs of laughter in the original scene were instantly suppressed. Among them, Li Mingji's reaction was the most exciting: "Version betting? You want to sign a betting agreement?"

"If this can help you make up your mind." Qin Xin ticked Lu Yao with her finger, and Lu Yao quickly took out an agreement from her bag and handed it to Qin Xin: "This is the preliminary agreement we have drawn up. You might as well take a look at it. Asiana Airlines was founded by President Li, and he probably doesn’t want to give his life’s hard work to others, so why not take a gamble on the future?”

Qin Xin's words really touched Li Mingji's heart, Asiana Airlines is like his child, why would he give away his child unless it is absolutely necessary?
Although if I give 50.00% of the shares to Cangqing Travel Company, I will lose the custody right, but after all, I can still visit the child frequently.And if it is sold to Korean Air, it means that it has nothing to do with me in the future.

Moreover, if the agreement is really what Qin Xin said, then Asiana Airlines actually has an advantage in terms of interests.

Now, Li Mingji was a little moved.

Just as Li Mingji accepted the agreement, with the sound of footsteps, Kim Sung, director of the Seoul Aviation Administration, walked in with a smile, squinting his eyes, like a smiling Buddha.

"President Li, is this the beginning?"

Li Mingji, who was about to take over the agreement, withdrew his right hand. When he saw Jin Sheng coming in, he couldn't help frowning: "Director Jin, what's the reason for the sudden visit? Why don't I remember inviting Director Jin?"

Jin Sheng's ability is average, but his face is really thick. He still kept a smiling face under Li Mingji's obvious expulsion order: "Asian Airlines is an important airline company in my jurisdiction. Regarding the change of ownership of Asiana Airlines, Naturally, I want to pay attention to it. Don't worry, I'll just take a look, and you don't need to pay attention to me."

A trace of displeasure flashed across Li Mingji's face, but Jin Sheng is the director of the Seoul Regional Aviation Administration, and he still has some status, so it's not easy to tear his face, so he could only hold his nose and bear it, and told the people around him: "Give Director Jin an extra seat."

"President Li is still polite." Chief Jin Sheng smiled, as if he didn't notice the disgust in Li Mingji's eyes.Instead, he glanced at Park Xiyuan who was hanging his head still, and after sitting down, he suddenly called out to Park Xiyuan: "President Park, you must be very nervous, right?"

Pu Xiyuan, who hadn't spoken much, trembled and turned around slightly, but he didn't look at Director Jin Sheng first, but glanced at Qin Xin, with a smile on his face: "I'm not nervous, Director Jin."

Director Jin took a full look at the expression on Pu Xiyuan's face, and immediately clapped his hands and smiled: "Very good, very good."

When Li Mingji heard the conversation between Park Seok-won and Director Jin, he instinctively felt something abnormal, but at this moment, he couldn't think too much about it. Compared with the plan mentioned by Qin Xin, it was more important.

"Miss Qin, the plan you proposed is indeed very tempting, but I hope to find out how to buy our remaining shares at the highest price if you fail to fulfill your promise after two years. It is not a meager fee. "

Speaking of it, Li Mingji's heart was already moved at this time.

The reason is too simple, even if Qin Xin does not succeed in the end, in terms of overall income, the entire purchase price of Cangqing Travel Company is actually similar to the price of Korean Air.The only difference is that if Qin Xin's plan is accepted, there is still an illusory possibility, even Li Mingji himself thinks it is impossible.

Then there is the fact that they have to wait two years to get the rest of the large sum of money.

The two-year waiting period is actually risky, so Li Mingji needs to reduce this risk, such as verifying the economic strength of Cangqing Tourism.

Hearing what Li Mingji said, Qin Xin already understood what Li Mingji was thinking, and just smiled: "President Li must be able to find out. Cangqing Tourism is just one of our Korean branches, and our main body is in China. The scale is much larger than that of Cangqing Tourism, so there is no need to question the solvency. Of course, this kind of talk is not based on a single mouth. President Li can send someone back to China with me for inspection.”

As soon as these words came out, Li Mingji was really moved.If Qin Xin dared to say that, she must be sure, which meant that Qin Xin was able to pay.

Not to mention Li Mingji, some other directors also started to get excited.After all, the difference between making a one-shot deal and obtaining long-term benefits is still obvious.However, not all the directors would agree with Qin Xin's proposal, some still remained skeptical, and the rest showed a little anxiety.

As a bystander, after seeing the emotional changes of the members of the board of directors, Director Jin Sheng leaned back his upper body and thought to himself: "Sure enough, I made the right bet."

Li Mingji had a battle between heaven and man in his mind, but he did not make a decision right away, but instead asked Qin Xin: "Miss Qin, Asiana Airlines is in such a bad situation now, it may be extremely difficult to return to the top within two years, I don't know What can Miss Qin do?"

"President Li, how do you think I should answer this question?" Qin Xin smiled and said, "Is it a bit presumptuous?"

Li Mingji was taken aback for a moment, and immediately realized his slip of the tongue: "I'm sorry, I'm just too curious. It doesn't matter if Miss Qin is inconvenient to say it."

"Chairman Li, compared with the acquisition of Korean Air, we will not let Asiana Airlines lose profits, and we have given you hope for nothing. And we have enough solvency, the two-year waiting time There is actually no risk, so why not agree to it?" Qin Xin said.

"This..." Li Mingji was a little tangled for a while. To be honest, from the perspective of Asiana Airlines, Qin Xin's plan is indeed to make money without losing money.

Even in the fastest case, it is equivalent to Korean Air's plan.Moreover, if it is successful, the long-term benefits will completely exceed the Korean Air plan.Although the holding ability has been lost, there are too many benefits of long-term dividends.

At this time, some directors couldn't sit still, and one of them was a little older: "President, the plan of Cangqing Tourism seems to be really better, and the guarantee standard is the same as the plan of Korean Air. This"

"Who says it's equivalent?"

With a loud shout, Min Heren, the vice president of Korean Air, led a large group of people into the venue, aggressively.

Li Mingji looked at Min Heren: "President Min, you came earlier than expected."

"If I had been later, I'm afraid you have already negotiated." Min Heren tightened his suit and sat at the head of the long conference table naturally, which was originally the seat of Chairman Li Mingji.

Li Mingji frowned, but he didn't say anything.

And Min Heren's arrogance caused dissatisfaction among some directors, but none of these directors dared to speak out, they just slandered secretly.

"Yo hoo." As soon as Min Heren sat down, he immediately noticed Jin Sheng who was sitting next to him: "Director Jin is here too!"

Jin Sheng nodded, as a greeting: "Come and have a look."

"It's just right, after the meeting, I also have something to talk to Director Jin about." Min Hyeok-in said with a chuckle.

Jin Sheng's eyelids twitched: "I don't know what to talk about with President Min."

"That's right. After all, I don't have any personal relationship with Director Kim, but that's it." Min Heren snapped his fingers, "President Choi Sang-do, who has a better personal relationship with Director Kim, is already in the interrogation room of the Disciplinary Committee."

Jin Sheng's heart suddenly tightened, but he was old and cunning, his face didn't change at all, and he even felt a little pity: "It's a pity for President Cui."

"It's a pity for President Cui, I will talk to Director Jin after the meeting, and now we still have to bring up the business." Min Heren smiled at Li Mingji: "President Li, we have been in contact with your company for so long, how can we be casual? Change your mind?"

Li Mingji's expression was cold: "I'm just thinking about the interests of Asiana Airlines. The plan proposed by Ms. Qin is indeed better than yours. Why can't it be considered?"

"President Li, you will make me very sad when you say that, obviously we are very sincere." Min Heren pretended to be heartbroken: "Our president even specially allocated funds to raise purchase price”

As he said that, Min Heren stretched out two fingers: "Twenty percent, let's increase the purchase price by twenty percent."

"What!" Li Mingji's face changed drastically after saying this: "You mean you are willing to buy it at [-]% of the original market value?"

Min Heren nodded: "Exactly, how about this sincerity?"

This time, Li Mingji opened his mouth. He really didn't expect Korean Air to be so generous.Given the current situation of Asiana Airlines, it is considered a very high price to be acquired at [-]% of the original market value.He took a look at the directors in the venue. After Min Heren proposed a substantial increase in the purchase price, these people were obviously moved.

No way, the price of Korean Air is indeed very generous!Too generous to refuse.

"At the same time, in order to express the utmost respect for Asiana. After the acquisition, we will retain the management as much as possible."

As soon as these words came out, Li Mingji didn't respond, but the directors behind were all blown up.This commitment is directly related to their interests. Many directors hold high-level positions concurrently. If they can keep their positions after the acquisition, their losses can be further reduced.

And those directors who originally communicated with Korean Air in private and got the promise showed joy on their faces, and they were already planning to wave the flag to Min Heren.

Under this situation, Lu Yao's expression changed suddenly behind Qin Xin. The price of Korean Air really caught them off guard. He looked down at Qin Xin, but saw Qin Xin standing silently. Get up and look at Min Heren: "President Min, it seems that the Minzhuang air crash is a trivial matter for your company. It's not good to hold on. If you can't eat hard food, you will easily choke."

Min Heren, however, was at ease: "I don't need Miss Qin to worry about this. I said before that our chairman is very concerned about this acquisition. In terms of finances, we really don't have any pressure."

Qin Xin frowned, and looked back at Lu Yao, Lu Yao immediately understood, opened the bag, as if she wanted to take something.

And Min Heren seemed to have expected it, and snapped his fingers: "If you want to get something about Air Seoul, then I advise you not to bother."

This time, Lu Yao really tightened his heart: "You"

Xu Cang's trump card was predicted by Korean Air in advance.

Korean Air’s indirect holding of Air Seoul was done by surprise. If Korean Air knew about it in advance, it would have almost no effect, because Korean Air definitely has a way to sort out this holding relationship.

When Director Jin on the other side saw this scene, his expression sank all of a sudden, and even Park Xiyuan's expression changed suddenly.

"Not good, it seems that the bet was wrong." Director Jin was anxious.

On the contrary, Li Mingji and some directors who don't know the inside story don't understand why Min Hyuk-in mentioned Air Seoul at this time.

Lu Ling's hand that had been stretched into the bag retracted again. He opened his mouth and looked at Qin Xin stiffly.

Qin Xin sat back in her seat in silence, without saying a word.

In this situation, Min Heren let out a long laugh: "You just want to deal with us by playing some tricks. Do you really think that our Korean Air is just a piece of paper? You little boy! President Li, if you want to do this, you There should be nothing to hesitate, our president is still waiting for my news!"

"President, sign it, this is already the best plan."

At this time, many directors couldn't help but speak, as if they were afraid that Korean Air would suddenly change their minds.

But Park Seok-won and Director Jin had extremely bright expressions on their faces. The current situation is different from what they expected.

How did Korean Air know about Air Seoul?

Seeing so many directors responding, Li Mingji murmured for a moment, and finally sighed: "President Min, we."

Seeing this scene, Lu Yao was anxious, and looked down at Qin Xin: "Boss Qin."

Qin Xin, who had been silent until now, suddenly focused his eyes, and said in a sharp tone like a sword: "Since we can't get it, let's destroy it."
