Reborn as the youngest son of a chaebol, let's get to know his sister-in-law!

Chapter 432 Chen Daojun is planning a counterattack
Li Xuezai suddenly laughed.
"Haha, it seems I have to go take a closer look. It will be really tricky if these two people join forces. The current situation is that if we don't pay attention, we will be in catastrophe, and you will also lose what grandpa left you."
"Not necessarily!"
Chen Daojun was noncommittal:
"Do you think you will always win in life? Shunyang is like a huge chessboard. As long as you play chess, you will always be defeated. If I waver because of the death of a few chess pieces, then I am destined to fail. Suitable for this game, no matter what, the final winner will not be me."
After Chen Daojun finished speaking, Li Xuezai didn't reply for a long time. After a while, he finally said:
"Then how to fight back this time?"
"Why are you asking me this? Don't you have the ability to judge for yourself?"
Even Li Xuezai thought it was impossible to defeat the alliance between Chen Dongji and Chen Rongji.
Even so, Chen Daojun believed that he could break their alliance.
"I will pretend to pass Zhuri's and my shares to one of my two uncles, so as long as you join forces with me, the alliance between the two of them will be over."
"Is it really?"
"Of course."
A smile appeared on Li Xuezai's face: "You look very relaxed. Are you bluffing?"
"Oh, do you have time to focus on this?"
Li Xuezai, who had been looking at Chen Daojun, raised his eyebrows and smiled slightly as if he felt the change in Chen Daojun's expression.
"Are you sure I can help you?"
"can."
"Then you must be rich, right?"
Chen Daojun pointed at himself: "Me?"
"I know there is a lot of money every day, right? In addition, the money that President Chen had been saving and managing before his death is in your hands, right? I said you are now the cash king of the peninsula, am I right?"
"I admit I have a lot of money."
"Then will you use this money to spin off the consortium? We can remove the name of Shunyang Group and change it to BAT Group."
Fully understanding Shunyang's governance structure means fully understanding the weaknesses of the structure. This is what the saying goes, know yourself and the enemy, and you will never be defeated in a hundred battles.
And Li Xuezai is the person who fully understands Shunyang's governance structure.
"This should be a job that requires a lot of time and money, right?"
"Yes, it does require a lot of investment of time and money."
"Then do you think my uncles will give me time to prepare?"
"This problem is not good... because controlling the company means that they can also control personnel. If they hold a board of directors and bring everyone else down, it will be troublesome..."
“As you just said, everyone now thinks that my uncle is the master of Shunyang.”
"Even if the vice chairman rules Shunyang Group, you can buy stocks. If you get enough shares, the situation will be reversed."
It is impossible to buy the entire Shunyang Group, but it may be possible to buy the subsidiary Shunyang Life Insurance.
In addition, since Shunyang Life is the parent company of Shunyang Life Insurance Company, there are obvious loopholes and opportunities.
Thoughts appeared in Chen Daojun's mind.
Once you decide to buy, you will indeed gain many advantages, but Chen Daojun still shook his head.
"I wouldn't choose to buy shares now. What's the point of spending precious money and time to get a small part of Shunyang? In any case, I don't have a great impact on the overall situation, and if it arouses their vigilance, that's a problem. It’s even more complicated, and I’m too lazy to bother with them.”
When Li Xuezai heard Chen Daojun's words, he shook his head and said slowly:
"It's very important to establish a firm foothold. It's not like you can take back the entire Shunyang Group in one or two years. If you leave the group for a period of time, you will be an outsider."
Li Xuezai raised his finger and pointed at himself.
"Look at me. After the president passed away, I said I was going to retire. Those who had always knelt down to me suddenly changed their faces. When you leave a group for a long time, even those who support you in controlling the inheritance Their minds will change due to changes in time and location, and even if you finally succeed in acquiring the Shunyang Group, they will think that you are a foreign invader, not the owner of Shunyang."
Li Xuezai's words were heartbreaking, and Chen Daojun's eyes widened.
"Then what you mean is that I must maintain the current situation in Shunyang. If being separated from Shunyang for a long time makes me an aggressor, it will not be beautiful. And this is my grandfather's legacy. I will not make things like this. of"
"So the conclusion is to prevent Chen Rongji and Chen Dongji from joining forces."
"Aren't you helping?"
"I?"
Li Xuanzai waved his hands, as if he had no desire or desire.
"It might be helpful for me to join, but if brothers Chen Rongji and Chen Dongji join forces to eliminate others first, I can't do anything about it, so you have to solve this problem first."
Li Xuanzai thought for a while and suggested:
"Don't try too hard to hide your trump card. Show it off when appropriate, flex your muscles, and let others see your strength. Wouldn't that be better? Don't forget the truth that the president often talks about."
"Truth? Which sentence?"
“The most powerful thing is what you can’t see through, and what you want the most is what you can’t get.”
Shunyang Financial Group.
Chen Rongji and Chen Dongji were sitting on the sofa chatting animatedly.
In order to avoid irritating Chen Dongji, Chen Rongji always saw him on the sofa. Chen Dongji felt that he was inferior to him and had other thoughts that he should not have.
"Isn't this enough? Don't say anything else in the future. If you have anything to add, add it now."
"You are too vicious and cruel. We are all brothers and sisters. Is it necessary to do this?
Chen Rongji looked at the pieces of paper handed over by his younger brother and frowned.
"Do you have to mention personal relationships? This is a big deal about how to lead a group. We are enemies, not friends. There is no brotherhood at all. I remember you are not known for your hard-heartedness. Why did you suddenly become like this?"
The documents submitted by Chen Dongji contain detailed information on all managers of Shunyang Financial Group.
And he did this to prevent his brother from gaining too much influence in the group.
"Honestly, that's not fair."
Chen Rongji said, waving a document that was no different from a contract.
"You are really thoughtful. I think about it every day, how great it would be if you could be the second-in-command of Shunyang Group for me and specifically assist me."
"I have never thought of helping you as Shunyang Group's deputy. This is my consistent attitude. Don't be unhappy."
The insult came from his younger brother, but Chen Rongji was not angry.
The complex of being the second child is always revealed in such harsh words.
Chen Rongji shook his head excitedly and signed the document handed over by Chen Dongji.
Now, Shunyang Financial Group is jointly managed by two brothers.
What remains is the affiliate's board of directors.
The little nephew who drove them away had some scheming, but when the cronies got into their hands, the scheming disappeared without a trace.
However, there are others who are dissatisfied with it all.
After the two put the documents in, Chen Rongji showed several documents to Chen Dongji.
"Is this too much? What on earth is this!" The pieces of paper were fluttering in Chen Dongji's hands.
"Keep your voice down, be careful that walls have ears."
Chen Dongji ignored his brother's criticism.
"You asked me to be in charge of a financial institution? Not to mention the executive level, even the management level has been arranged by you? What about me? If one of me is asked to work in such an environment, there will be no assistants. , what if I’m not suitable for this position? In your eyes, who am I? Is this really my company?”
Chen Rongji didn't listen to his outpouring of complaints.
"Are you saying that you hate this position because it doesn't have any of your own subordinates now?"
Chen Dongji glared at his brother coldly and said.
"What do you think?"
"Then it depends on your ability. You can't even do this little thing? Then what else can you do?"
"elder brother!"
"Shut up, didn't I tell you to lower your voice?"
Chen Rongji stepped forward and threatened, and Chen Dongji also shut his mouth.
"Give you a room with a view, a salary, a car, and even a credit card with no limit. As long as you sit on that seat, there will naturally be a row of people bowing to you. I will let you sit on it. It’s because of Mom’s request. Instead of complaining, it’s better to enjoy everything first.”
Chen Rongji approached Chen Dongji and patted him on the shoulder.
"This is just the beginning. Even if you are not your own people, they are still talents. If you can gradually build this group with these people, then I will treat you like a real vice president. Don't worry now. .”
The two people who were opposed by the contract reached a temporary compromise.
Since they moved quickly, Chen Daojun no longer worried.
Grandpa's last words strengthened his determination.
It’s true what he said “You have nothing to lose.”
In order to keep your things from being snatched away, you must destroy everything without hesitation, like a villain.
A true villain must be above the law, just like Grandpa.
Deputy Minister of Legal Affairs B was a little surprised, but he still greeted Chen Daojun with a smile. Who would be at odds with the God of Wealth?
"Oh, what does business tycoon Chen Daojun want from a civil servant like me? Haha."
He greeted Chen Daojun with a slightly exaggerated expression.
"Jiang Shengyu asked me to come to visit and say hello to you. He said I could learn something from you."
Deputy Minister of Legal Affairs B's mouth curved slightly: "Yes, you have been deeply involved in the work there."
“I had no idea what was going on there until I got involved.”
"I know, this means that in order to take care of his own health, Representative Jiang has left everything to you, taking charge of the financial part of Shunyang Group and even leading domestic investors. You are really great."
"You're flattering me, I'm just lucky. Shunyang Group owes it to my grandfather, and Zhuri Group owes it to my father, because Jiang Shengyu and my father are best friends. In short, I am very lucky to have met my parents and my father." grandfather."
Deputy Minister of Justice B raised the corners of his mouth and even let out a low whistle.
"Young man, you can't say this, you are too humble... You look very simple, you don't look like the youngest member of a big family."
"Thank you for taking care of me."
"There's no need to say any more polite words, let's talk about business now."
Chen Daojun handed the folded memorandum to Deputy Minister of Justice B.
"what is this?"
When he picked up the note and looked at the content, Chen Daojun looked at his expression carefully.
He looked shocked for a moment, but not frightened.
But Chen Daojun saw what he wanted to see on his face.
"This memo means nothing and I'm just going to use it to add credibility to what I'm saying."
Deputy Minister of Justice B put the note on the table, held the note pad and said:
"It seems that our late President Chen is still so meticulous."
"However, even when he initially appeared in the prosecutor's office in a wheelchair, he did not use it for the record and told me to just 'keep it'."
"But why do you have this?"
Deputy Minister of Justice B’s eyes sparkled.
“I moved that record forward.”
The other party immediately understood what this meant.
"I want to know why Chairman Chen clearly has a son in charge of the group, but why would he hand this thing over to his grandson? Isn't this equivalent to separating management rights and resources?
Chen Daojun did not answer this topic directly:
"He didn't say why, but firstly, I think he thought I was good at managing finances and investing, and secondly, he seemed concerned that my uncles would misuse the memo, and of course, that's just my opinion."
Chen Daojun was reminding the other party that if this thing fell into the hands of his two vice-president uncles and they were in danger, it would be a weapon they could use to intimidate them, and so could he.
Deputy Commander B swallowed: "So Daojun, you only kept this memo, right?"
"Of course, I plan to carry on my grandfather's last wish."
Deputy Chief B said with a smile.
"Now, I know very well what role Mr. Chen Daojun plays. Please tell me what you really think."
As long as the memo is in Chen Daojun's hands, the result will probably be the same and no one can refuse.
"I think something will happen to me and Shunyang Group soon. I can't tell you the details of the accident yet. Will you suppress the impact of the incident?"
"It depends on the size of the thing."
"If it had only a small impact, I wouldn't be visiting you."
"This is a bit of a headache. I can't imagine how to deal with it. As the third heir, how can you win?"
No one who can be the Deputy Chief of Legal Affairs is an idiot!
"The general election is just around the corner. After the general election, the Constitutional Court's conclusion on the impeachment of President T will be released. At that time, there will be major personnel changes and political reform..."
"I will pay attention to the fact that the impeachment case is almost certain and the victory of the ruling D in the general election is inevitable."
“Is the average tenure of a former chief executive in South Korea 14 months?”
"13.8 months to be precise, and the same goes for the deputy minister, I'm only 12 months now."
For a deputy B commander who was about to take off his clothes and leave his post, he was in pretty good shape.
Although he would have to remain unemployed for the next four years until the next election.
"Do you have any special plans?"
"General T will give me a position as the head of a public agency. I served as deputy director B, but I can't do anything inappropriate. Do you have anything else to do?"
When Chen Daojun looked into his eyes, Chen Daojun heard the answer he wanted.
"How about going abroad for two years? When you come back to prepare for the election, you will stay in the position assigned by Chief T. Don't you think it's boring?"
