The first thousand one hundred and seventy-three chapters of the arrow
Chapter 1,173: Public Target
"It's better if it's not the Rockefeller family!" Eldurant couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.
Although the Durant family is a well-known figure in American politics and economics, compared with the powerful Rockefeller family, which has controlled the United States for two hundred years, they are far behind in terms of strength and influence. The two are completely incompatible.
Compare.
"Just why can this **** win the help of the Rockefeller family?" Durant asked with new doubts in his heart.
No one knows the pride and greed in the bones of these old nobles better than El Durant, who is an American.
If there is not enough attractive profit motivation, it is impossible for a behemoth like the Rockefeller family to take the initiative to help an unrelated person. Especially when the other person is a Chinese.
"Is it for the Chinese market?"
If there is anything in China that makes the Rockefeller family covetous, it must be the rapidly developing super market with a population of 1.3 billion that the entire West is coveted!
"We don't know this yet. But what is certain is that our acquisition of Daewoo Group will not arouse the hostility of the Rockefeller family!" Yasuda Kenji said.
After thinking for a while, Eldurant nodded in agreement, then his eyes flashed, and he looked directly at the Japanese opposite and said: "Mr. Yasuda, you specially invited me here today, you won't just talk about these, right?"
"Of course not! In addition to what we just said today, I also have a very important news to share with Mr. Durant!"
"Important news? What important news?" Durant said in surprise.
"Just two days ago, at the executive meeting of the South Korean Cabinet, the newly inaugurated South Korean President Roh Moo-hyun approved the acquisition application of Hantong Investment Company, a subsidiary of ****, for the Daewoo Group, with a purchase price of US$51.8 billion!"
"What?"
After exclaiming, Eldurant suddenly stood up, "Are you telling the truth?"
"certainly!"
"How is this possible? Why didn't we get any information before?"
Although it was a little unbelievable, looking at the affirmative look on Yasuda Kenji's face, El Durant was sure that the other party was not lying. Moreover, the power of the Yasuda family in South Korea is indeed much deeper than that of the Durant family. They can advance in advance.
It did not surprise him to have such important information.
But what really surprised him was the news itself.
If it is true as the other party said, Hantong Investment won the Daewoo Group, then wouldn't their efforts over the past year have been in vain!
"How is this possible!"
Thinking of this, Eldurant said solemnly: "This resolution has been passed by the South Korean cabinet?"
"Because the news was too sudden and there were many opponents among the 19 cabinet members, the acquisition agreement has not yet been approved. However, with the strong support of President Roh Moo-hyun and the help of the Rockefeller family, as long as the other party makes a little more effort
It is not difficult to get the South Korean cabinet to approve this acquisition agreement. After all, their offer is very tempting. And the current South Korean government does lack foreign exchange!"
"What do you want to do?" After pondering for a while, Eldurant suddenly asked.
He is not stupid either. From the fact that Yasuda Kenji invited him here alone, he could understand that the other party must be planning to work with him to deal with the Han Dynasty.
Durant is not opposed to this, because their interests do not conflict. What General Motors wants is Daewoo Motors' 930,000-car production capacity in South Korea and Poland, as well as the brand that Daewoo Motors has accumulated over the years.
.And what Kenji Yasuda needs is Daewoo Heavy Industries.
At the same time, they are all in conflict with Hantong Investment, which wants to swallow up the entire Daewoo Group.
The most popular saying in the diplomatic community is 'the enemy of my enemy is my friend', and this statement is still applicable in the shopping mall.
"When it comes to the Daewoo Group, General Motors and the Kubota Group have the same interests. We don't want the Daewoo Group to be taken away by the Chinese. Therefore, I hope that you and I can join forces to jointly mobilize our respective interests."
The political and economic forces in South Korea are opposed to Hantong Investment's acquisition of Daewoo Group! Otherwise, in a few days, I'm afraid we will leave empty-handed!" Kenji Yasuda said seriously.
"no problem!"
El Durant agreed to Yasuda Kenji's proposal without hesitation. Now it is obvious that he has gone ahead of the crowd in acquiring Daewoo Group and his subsidiary Hantong Investment has become everyone's common enemy.
"Besides, if it's just you and I joining forces, I think our strength is still a bit weak. We should contact more allies. I think the others don't want a junior who is late in school to seize the Daewoo Group before them!
"Eldurant said suddenly.
"Haha, Mr. Durant, we are heroes and we have the same idea! Time is running out now, why don't we start separately!"
"certainly!"
"Deng Deng!"
Feng Jianhui, who looked anxious, jogged and pushed open the door of the room with almost force.
"Chairman. Sorry, we just received news that the Fuji Consortium, General Motors, Volkswagen Group, Doosan Group and Renault Group, these large groups that covet the property of Daewoo Group, have all joined forces!"
"Jianhui, don't worry. Sit down first and take a breath! I already know this!"
After finishing speaking, he took the phone away from his ear, with an ugly look on his face.
Just before Feng Jianhui came in, he had already received a call from Roh Moo-hyun and received news of the twists and turns in the acquisition of Daewoo Group.
Fortunately, Roh Moo-hyun did not break his promise. He just asked **** to take advantage of this period to work hard and do some work to save the increasingly unfavorable situation.
"This cunning guy! I cursed in my heart.
Roh Moo-hyun promised well at the beginning and was quite happy when he collected the money, but he was extremely procrastinating in getting things done. As president, he can definitely advocate for the acquisition of Daewoo Group even if there are objections in the cabinet.
protocol.
But he happened to say something like, ‘The news of Daewoo Group’s acquisition by foreign capital is too sensitive’, he had just become president and he shouldn’t be too domineering, and South Korea is a democratic country, etc., etc., etc., and he almost yelled in anger.
He is calm and steady by nature, and controls his temper at critical moments.
"Chairman, the current situation is very unfavorable to us! Whether it is the Fuji Consortium or General Motors, their strength is almost greater than ours, and their influence on Korean politics is far beyond what we, the newbies, can do. If we don't make a decision quickly
Respond and come up with effective strategies, I'm afraid this acquisition of Daewoo Group will have another setback!" Feng Jianhui said in a rapid-fire manner.
Therefore, we can also see how anxious he is inside.
And this is understandable. Anyone who encounters something that he has planned hard for more than a year, is about to succeed, and is about to enjoy the fruits of victory, but suddenly the situation changes, the situation takes a turn for the worse, and success turns into failure. Even the most stable person will be anxious.
He took the document from Feng Jianhui's hand, looked at it for a few times, and said with a slightly ugly face: "It seems that all the companies involved in the acquisition of Daewoo Group have joined forces this time!"
"Now we have become the target of public criticism!" Feng Jianhui said with a bitter smile.
In fact, he and **** had anticipated the current situation. If Hantong Investment took the lead in acquiring Daewoo Group, it would inevitably arouse dissatisfaction from other competitors.
But they didn't expect that these large companies and consortiums that competed with each other would be so mean this time. Almost all of them joined forces to deal with them. This was obviously beyond **** and Feng Jianhui's previous expectations. No wonder Feng Jianhui, a steady man, was so panicked.
"Kenji Yasuda, El Durant! I didn't expect these two guys to be really courageous!"
Looking at the document, Feng Jianhui sneered at the two highlighted names.
"Chairman, because of their support and instigation, there are voices in the Korean government cabinet, parliament, and even the Korean economic circle that oppose our acquisition of Daewoo Group! Even many Daewoo employees are in turmoil. I'm worried that it will take a long time. , This kind of turmoil will set off a storm within South Korea, from private to official opposition to our acquisition of Daewoo Group. By then, even with the support of President Roh Moo-hyun, it will be difficult for us to succeed!" Feng Jianhui worried.
"You are right, we must completely reverse things before they get worse!"
As he spoke, he stood up from the chair and started walking around the living room with his hands behind his back. It was obvious that he was also a little anxious.
After a long time, just when Feng Jianhui couldn't help but speak, he suddenly stopped!
"That's it! Jianhui, you immediately call Doosan Group Chairman Park Chang Gun and Samsung Group Chairman Lee Kun Hee and tell them that I will treat them to dinner at the K. Wah Hotel!"
"Samsung Group?" Feng Jianhui was a little confused. There was no Samsung Group among the local Korean consortiums competing with them for the Daewoo Group this time.
"We need more supporters!"
"Yes, Chairman, I will make arrangements immediately!" Feng Jianhui, who understood somewhat, immediately turned around and left.
Nothing is more important than time now!
Looking at his leaving figure, I couldn't help but sigh in a low voice.
"'If the trees are beautiful in the forest, the wind will destroy them; if they are piled high on the shore, the current will be turbulent!' The ancients do not deceive me!"
Originally, he thought that he could swallow up the entire Daewoo Group completely, but now it seems that it would be too difficult for him to take down the Daewoo Group if he is just one family. There must be others to share the pressure for him.
Although the Rockefeller family is huge, they simply do not work hard. Apart from the signed contract, the Rockefeller family has not seen any action so far.
Fortunately, I didn’t expect anything from them other than hoping to use the name of the Rockefeller family. Otherwise, they would have been pissed to death! (To be continued.)
