The extravagance and extravagance of Seoul's wealthy areas are not reflected in the villa.
Both Li Jianxi and his son from Sanxin, as well as the presidents of the other three major groups, all had downcast expressions, and the atmosphere in the room was very depressing.
The contemporary head of the Gu family of LG Group, Gu Benmoo, and his adopted son Gu Guangmo.
Choi Tae-won, the contemporary head of the Choi family of SK (Sunkyung) Group, and his brother Choi Jae-won.
The Jung family of Hyundai Group, Jung Mong-koo, Jung Mong-joon, Jung Eui-sun, and Hyun Jung-si.
These people are the core figures of the four major chaebols in South Korea. This is also a rare thing for the four major chaebols to sit down and discuss.
Li Jianxi looked at everyone present and said slowly: "Now everyone knows the situation. We have called everyone here today to come up with a solution."
Gu Benmo nodded and replied: "We really can't go on like this."
Cui Taiyuan, Zheng Mengjiu and others also agreed, but Cui Taiyuan stood up and said solemnly: "We want to reconcile now, but will the Chinese be willing to reconcile? Will the Americans agree to our reconciliation?"
Obviously, Cui Taiyuan's question directly revealed the nature of this crisis.
They are just pawns in the game between great powers. Whether the two players agree to let them go or not is the key to whether this crisis can be averted.
This is Cui Taiyuan's realization as a chess piece, and others also understand their situation.
Zheng Mengjiu lit up a cigarette and took a breath: "There are only two ways now, either follow the United States and fight to the end. However, the United States' economy this year is not optimistic either. I'm afraid..."
Li Jianxi, an old fox, doesn't know the situation in the United States. It's simply wishful thinking to expect the other party to save the Sanxin Group when he doesn't even have enough to eat.
"Either we break with the Americans and join the Chinese camp, we have no other choice." When Zheng Mengjiu said the last word, his tone could not help but feel a little sad. This is the helplessness of a small country.
"This is impossible." Gu Benmao shook his head and said.
The real behind-the-scenes controllers of these consortiums are Western capital, and most of the group's equity is in the hands of Westerners. If they want to break free, they will have to shed their skin even if they die.
At this point, everyone was indifferent for a while. Firstly, it was difficult to break free from the chain. Secondly, whether the Chinese people were willing to accept me, these were all problems.
Even if you accept it, it would be equivalent to betraying the Western camp, and you have to think about the consequences.
We discussed on and off for more than three hours, but no one was willing to make a decision. No matter which choice they made, it was equivalent to cutting off flesh, and they might kill themselves if they were not careful.
Cui Taiyuan finally said: "How about this? Let's talk to the Chinese chip manufacturers. It is not good for anyone to have a price war like this."
"This is the best way." Li Jianxi nodded helplessly.
Zheng Mengjiu of Hyundai Motor has also decided to fully promote electric vehicles in order to adapt to the Chinese market and produce them in accordance with Chinese electric vehicle standards.
But these decisions are all at the corporate level, and they plan to ignore other aspects and implement them to the end.
We hope to maintain the living space in the cracks by leveraging our own strength.
…
July 15th.
Shanmei, headquarters of Shenguang Instrument Group.
Samxin Crown Prince Lee Jae-yong, LG Group heir Koo Kwang-mo, and SK Group vice-chairman Choi Jae-won appeared here together.
Looking at the building in front of him, Lee Jae-yong felt overwhelmed. Shenguang Instrument Group and Behind the Mind Society were simply too powerful.
Chip manufacturers such as SMIC, Unisoc, Yangtze Memory, and HiSilicon are not scary, but the Shenguang Instrument Group behind them is scary.
What a terrifying existence a group that controls the production of a complete set of semiconductor equipment is. Shenguang can continuously support one chip manufacturer after another through the chip production line.
In addition, the mysterious man behind Shenguang's Thinking Society is known as the person with the highest IQ in the world.
That person single-handedly helped China's semiconductor industry, high-energy battery-electric vehicle industry, brainwave-virtual world industry, and terahertz communications industry, and these industries are all interlocking high-tech industries.
Facing one of the semiconductor companies, Shenguang Instrument Group, Sanxin found it difficult to compete, which made Li Zairong truly feel his own insignificance and powerlessness.
Step by step inside, Lee Jae-yong and others felt more and more cautious.
He was taken to a conference room and waited quietly for more than an hour before Gao Zhiyuan arrived belatedly.
"Everyone has been waiting for a long time." Gao Zhiyuan said casually.
"It's a great honor to meet Mr. Gao."
"Hello, Mr. Gao!"
Li Zaiyong and the other three hurriedly greeted them. Gao Zhiyuan could neglect them, but they did not dare to show any emotion.
"Everyone sit down."
After some useless pleasantries, Lee Jae-yong and others quickly came up with a cooperation agreement.
For example, if you purchase semiconductor equipment from Shenguang Instrument Group, you are willing to comply with China Semiconductor standards, open Internet, terahertz communications, brainwave glasses, terahertz mobile phones, etc.
I almost had all my intentions out there, and I was just about to kneel down and beg for mercy.
After reading these conditions, Gao Zhiyuan knew that these Koreans were submissive, and he estimated that Thinking Battery and Dream Company also received similar conditions.
But this is not enough.
"I really wanted to cooperate, but this year's security agreement seems to be expiring soon, so we need to consider the impact." Gao Zhiyuan said pointedly.
What! Lee Jae-yong, Choi Jae-won, and Koo Kwang-mo broke into a cold sweat. This kind of thing was obviously forcing them to take sides.
The minds of the three people suddenly changed. In fact, it was not that the security agreement in South Korea could not be terminated, but they did not want to pay, and they could use this to get their own way.
But now Gao Zhiyuan has obviously seen that they want to sit on the fence. Since they want to cooperate, they should be more thorough. The beauty of thinking and being serious at the same time.
After thinking for a long time, everyone could only go back home temporarily and report the matter to their families.
The matter of terminating the security agreement can be big or small, especially in this international situation, if Sanxin is not careful, he will be in big trouble.
After considering it for three days, the four major chaebols finally decided to take a risk.
…
July 18.
It's the same conference room.
"...We will promote the termination of the agreement as soon as possible." After Lee Jae-yong finished speaking, his whole body was dripping with cold sweat.
Gao Zhiyuan raised the corners of his mouth and said with a smile: "When will you finish, we will welcome you. By the way, remember to reserve more Chinese dollars."
Reserve Chinese Yuan
Li Zaiyong and others are even more worried, but now that they have boarded the pirate ship, unless they regret it immediately, it will be difficult for them to get off the ship once the security agreement is successfully lifted.
Everyone signed and stamped the cooperation memorandum one by one, and then Lee Jae-yong and others took the cooperation memorandum and immediately flew back.
Although the memorandum of cooperation is biased towards Sisi Club, the four big families are not vegetarians. The agreements they signed were signed in their personal names.
Once something happens, these people will be the scapegoats.
Moreover, the joint venture companies in the cooperation agreement are all in their personal capacity and have nothing to do with groups such as Sanxin and LG themselves.
Obviously these guys are making another preparation, that is, they are preparing to change the situation.
Once the plan goes well, they can use these joint ventures to compete with Western capital and achieve a certain degree of independence by playing both sides.
If that party has an overwhelming advantage, they can also use other means to annex the other party's companies.
