Fang Mingyuan naturally does not know what will happen to the Rakuten Group in the future, but the Rakuten Group has indeed been criticized by public opinion in South Korea for using the shell of a Korean company, and is essentially a company fully controlled by Japanese capital. The Rakuten Group

The company's founder, Tan Lixuan, and his three sons and two daughters, relied on a capital relationship called "circulating investment", with hundreds of related companies holding intricately held shares in each other, and firmly controlled the Rakuten Group.

The company has also made its corporate structure very complicated and confusing. For example, South Korea’s Fair Trade Commission, Financial Supervision Commission and tax department have criticized the corporate structure of the Rakuten Group Company for being too complex. The Korean government and multiple political parties have also repeatedly requested the Rakuten Group

The company improves the transparency of its management rights.

For these families in South Korea, they are naturally dissatisfied with the Japanese Tan Lizuan's behavior of going to the country to seize the market. However, because Tan Lizuan is good at dancing and has a Japanese background, he insisted on developing the Rakuten Group Company in South Korea.

It has become a behemoth with business covering real estate, amusement parks, hotels and restaurants, department store retail and other fields, with a turnover of 60 billion U.S. dollars. In the industry of duty-free shops, Rakuten Group Company is one of the leaders. Rakuten Group Company is a leader in chain stores.

In the retail field, it is also a leader in the Korean market. Therefore, even if the companies under Samsung Group are not considered, from the perspective of the Korean branch of Carrefour Group, the relationship between the two is an out-and-out competitor.

. Naturally, most of the tour groups coming to South Korea from Jianchi Travel Agency choose the duty-free shop of the Shilla Hotel.

"Now the duty-free shop industry has become an industry that has attracted much attention. As far as I know, many companies have applied to the government, hoping to open duty-free shops. The competition will become more and more fierce in the future. Yeah!"

Li Xintong suddenly stretched out her hand and patted Fang Mingyuan on the back, scolding, "We are out for fun today, not talking about work!" Fang Mingyuan couldn't help but smile bitterly, he wasn't the one who started this topic?

The two of them walked and stopped casually along the road, admiring the scenery of the park and the Han River in the distance, talking about their parents and family, and enjoying the rare rest time.

As soon as the two returned to their villa area in Gangnam District, they heard that four high-speed boats of the South Korean Navy clashed with a guard boat of their northern neighbor at the northern boundary line of the West Sea in the early morning. The two sides fired at each other, and eventually the northern guard boat was injured and returned to the country.

News from the sea.

Fang Mingyuan's first reaction was that Hyundai Group Company was in big trouble! Xuan Zhenen visited the north not long ago and was received by the top leader, which eased the relationship between the two countries that had become tense due to the Mount Kumgang Scenic Area incident.

Many people believe that the reopening of Mount Kumgang Scenic Area should only be a matter of time. The Korean government has just not found a suitable step. This has caused the shares of Hyundai Group's companies in the stock market to not only stabilize, but also increase slightly.

Improvement. However, the conflict between the two navies at the northern boundary line of the West China Sea was undoubtedly like a heavy hammer that shattered everyone's unrealistic illusions.

The already tense relationship between the two countries will only get worse. With the way the northern government has always acted, if it suffered losses in the naval battle, it will definitely find ways to get it back in other ways. In other words, the relationship between the two countries

Unless there is a major turning point, the reopening of Mount Kumgang Scenic Area to receive tourists will naturally come to nothing! This is extremely bad news for Hyundai Group, which is already struggling to survive the economic crisis.

"President Xuan is going to be in trouble this time." Zhao Xunhao, who came to visit, sighed lightly. It was not that he had any special relationship with Xuan Zhenen, but he felt that a woman could take turns oppressing the Zheng family.

It is really not easy to persist until today. Moreover, with the existence of Hyundai Group Company, the attention of the Zheng family will inevitably be attracted to it. For other Korean companies, there will naturally be a lot less pressure.

.

"To be precise, I should be in trouble again this time." Fang Mingyuan said with a wry smile. The Fang family's intention to take over the Hyundai Group is not a secret in the upper class of South Korea, but when he said it so openly and honestly, Zhao Xunhao still

I feel that Fang Mingyuan really regards him as one of his own.

"Master Fang, you should have noticed that in recent times, there have been a lot of reports in the Chinese media about the old Hyundai Group and the deceased Chairman Zheng." Zhao Xunhao said briefly.

"President Zhao is interested, thank you." Fang Mingyuan chuckled. Zhao Xunhao immediately understood that Fang Mingyuan might have been prepared for this matter.

"That's right. Mr. Fang has been in shopping malls for a long time. How could he take the little tricks of the Zheng brothers to heart?" Zhao Xunhao shook his head and said. He was even less optimistic about the future of the Zheng family. Now the Zheng family

The brothers are still alive and unable to suppress Fang Mingyuan. Ten years later, they will lose their energy and even pass away. However, Fang Mingyuan is in his prime. Who among the younger generations of the Zheng family is the opponent of the Fang family?

Isn’t that just flattening and rounding by Ren Fangyuan?

Zhao Xunhao came here this time to strengthen cooperation between Kuok Shipping Group Company and Hanjin Shipping Company. After Hong Kong Zhuanghai Investment Company became a shareholder of Korean Global Airlines, although the Korean economy is still in decline, the stock market is also wailing.

, but Korea Global Airlines' stock bucked the trend and rose and stabilized. It fluctuated little in the stock market and became one of the few bright spots in the Korean stock market. Especially after the news that Burj Khalifa World Company achieved profitability came out, Korea Global Airlines' stock price

The stock rose by nearly 7% that day, and then rose slightly, making its shareholders happy. This also further consolidated Zhao Xunhao's position in the Hanjin Group. Cui Miyeon and others

Although he did not give up, he became much more honest during these days, which made Zhao Xunhao proud.

Moreover, Zhao Xunhao also learned that Fang Mingyuan planned to acquire airports and airlines in Japan and form a new Japanese domestic air transportation network. He wondered whether Fang Mingyuan's idea could eventually be realized, or whether he would be able to get enough money after it was realized.

Zhao Xunhao can't say the profit, but it is a good thing that Korea Global Airlines has obtained the landing rights at Kobe New Airport. Kobe New Airport is not far from Kansai International Airport. In terms of Japan's traffic conditions, from Osaka

It won't take long to get to Kobe, but Korean Global Airlines can get more flights taking off and landing at the new Kobe Airport. Kansai International Airport, as Japan's first-class airport, is already operating at full capacity, but the new Kobe Airport is still

There is considerable room for improvement. Of course, what Zhao Xunhao is most concerned about now is Dubai World Central International Airport! If Korea Global Airlines can get more flight takeoff and landing rights, it will undoubtedly provide it with more profits. Korea Domestic Airlines

The market is too narrow. Unless it is a low-cost flight, the most important source of profits for airlines is international flights. However, Zhao Xunhao has not forgotten the purpose of his visit today.

Although Hanjin Shipping Company has established its dominant position in South Korea's domestic shipping industry, its situation in recent years has been really poor, with meager profits, sometimes even losses, and heavy debts. Shareholders are extremely concerned about this situation.

This is the reason why Choi Mi-yeon challenged Cho Hoon-ho. If Hanjin Shipping Company can make enough profits, how can other shareholders be neutral or even biased towards Choi Mi-yeon! In order to win over more shareholders and further stabilize Hanjin Shipping,

Jin Shipping Company, Zhao Xunhao naturally wanted to do something, and Guo's Shipping Group Company was his chosen partner.

Of course Fang Mingyuan would not refuse. Cooperation between Guo Shipping Group Company and Hanjin Shipping Company is also beneficial. After all, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Although Hanjin Shipping Company said that its performance over the years has not been optimistic, the four

Regional headquarters, more than 200 branches around the world, 14 professional terminals, a fleet of more than 200 container ships, bulk carriers and liquefied natural gas ships, and more than 60 scheduled and unscheduled routes around the world

If the assets can be used well, it will also expand the business for Guo's Shipping Group Company.

The two quickly reached a consensus on cooperation. As for the specific terms of cooperation, naturally someone was assigned to discuss it. After talking about the business of the trip, Zhao Xunhao felt much more relaxed. The topic turned back to the naval battle that had just occurred.

.

Regarding their neighbor to the north, the Koreans are now full of helplessness. Let's fight. They can't afford to fight. Let alone the war. Seoul, which is too close to the 38th parallel, will inevitably become the target of the opponent's attack first. The losses will be heavy, which makes the Koreans

It makes me shudder just thinking about it. More than one-fifth of the output value of South Korea's economy is in Seoul. If Incheon City and Gyeonggi Province are included, it can reach almost half. If it were completely destroyed by the war, South Korea's economy would have to go back for more than ten years.

What's more, although the economy in the north is far inferior to that of South Korea, its military strength is not necessarily much weaker than that of the South Korean army due to the military-first policy. Of course, this is not the most troublesome. The trouble is that the Koreans are not sure if a war breaks out.

, what will be the attitude of China and Russia? Let’s not fight, but the north has always been dishonest, and there will always be troubles every now and then. Either on the 38th parallel, or on the sea, Koreans are always unhappy with the troubles.

Be practical. You can imagine what kind of uproar this sudden naval battle will cause in Korean society after it is made public.

"Although it was just a small conflict at sea, it exposed a lot of problems." Zhao Xunhao sighed. As a Korean and an upper-class figure in Korea, his sources of information are naturally not comparable to those of ordinary people.

In this naval battle, South Korea's four high-speed boats faced off against one of the opponent's guard boats. Although the naval battle was said to be the victor, as the northern guard boat was injured and returned to its own waters, the actual outcome of the battle was dangerous.

, but exposed many shortcomings.

"Although our navy has been greatly strengthened in recent years, its real strength is limited," said Zhao Hoon-ho. The South Korean Navy was so high-spirited in the 1990s that it even called for building an ocean navy.

, fighting for a place in East Asia. But not to mention facing Japan, the United States and China, the North alone has made the South Korean Navy very passive. According to the news he received, four high-speed boats were fighting each other with the help of advanced performance

Unloading firepower on the opponent, but the hit rate was far lower than the opponent according to post-event statistics. In the "Second Yeonpyeong Naval Battle" a few years ago, a South Korean patrol boat was sunk by the opponent's gunboat at close range. Advanced weapons

It did not bring corresponding military strength to South Korea.

Fang Mingyuan shrugged slightly. In his opinion, the South Korean Navy is doing well as it is now. Otherwise, its tail would have been raised so much that they wished the whole world knew they had a red butt. They would not be so arrogant as to go to heaven. Of course,

Well, compared with the "space powers" in the north, Bangzi at least knows that he is on the earth and in the solar system. Moreover, there are also differences between South Korea and China on the division of sea boundaries. Now they are at loggerheads with Japan.

I'm afraid there won't be a peaceful settlement with China in the future. The stronger the South Korean navy is, the more arrogant it will be. Another important point is that South Korea is an ally of the United States. Once there is a maritime conflict between China and the United States, where will its butt sit?

It goes without saying. Facing the naval alliance between the United States, Japan and South Korea, only a fool would hope that the South Korean navy would be strong.

Fang Mingyuan naturally couldn't say these words, so he smiled and said: "I think your country's navy still lacks real combat training. Escort in the Gulf of Aden is a good opportunity."

After Zhao Xunhao said the words, he suddenly realized that Fang Mingyuan was from China. He felt a little embarrassed and continued: "Although our navy won this naval battle, the pressure from the sea is still great. I estimate that Congress will be very worried.

It may continue to increase investment in the navy, which is good news for Hyundai Heavy Industries Group."

Fang Mingyuan smiled bitterly in his heart. Everyone knew that producing arms was a good business, but the reality in the country has determined that arms production is firmly controlled by state-owned enterprises. It is already an anomaly that the Fang family can participate in engine manufacturing.

The production of naval ships is a good thing that cannot be done by the Fang family's shipyards.

"By the way, Mr. Fang, are you going to attend the Busan International Film Festival?" Zhao Xunhao asked with a smile, "It also gives me the opportunity to show my friendship as a landlord."

"The Busan International Film Festival has sent me an invitation, but I haven't decided whether to go or not." Fang Mingyuan said, "As for Chairman Zhao's words about being a landlord, I have made a note of it. I will definitely do so in the future."
