Rebirth I Am a Chaebol In Korea

Vol 3 Chapter 380: trade war

Xu Xian choked twice with anger: "You...cough cough."

"Okay, let's talk about what's wrong with you?"

Zhou Wenhai stopped teasing her.

"Can you stop recording that show?"

Xu Xian's tone sounded humble in grievance.

"Well, I won't record shows anymore after I come back from Japan."

"Really?"

"Yes, there will be a lot of things for me to deal with next, and I don't have time to record the show."

"Yes."

Entering May, the weather gradually became hotter.

On the 8th, the Japanese government suddenly announced the tightening of controls on three types of raw materials for the semiconductor industry exported to South Korea without warning.

In the afternoon, the ruling party urgently met with the leaders of the opposition parties at the Blue House to discuss plans to deal with Japan's trade restrictions. This is the first time that the ruling party has invited the leaders of the opposition parties to visit the Blue House after a lapse of 1 year and 4 months. It is also the first time to meet with the leader of the largest opposition party, the Liberal Korea Party, Huang Jiaoan to discuss national affairs.

The cause of this incident is that the South Korean Supreme Court announced last year that Nippon Steel & Sumitomo Metal Corporation and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries will compensate South Korean workers who were brought to Japan by the Japanese during World War II. In January and March of this year, the assets of Nippon Steel & Sumitomo Metal Corporation and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries in South Korea were seized.

On the 10th, the former head of the Seoul branch of the Sankei Shimbun, Kuroda Katsuhiro, wrote a satirical feature report, accusing South Koreans of not being grateful because South Korea’s economy depends on Japan.

At this time, the anger of the Korean people was completely ignited. Starting from Gwangju Metropolitan City, the people spontaneously set off a wave of boycotting Japanese goods. Major department stores, small and medium-sized shopping malls and supermarkets began to remove more than 100 Japanese products from the shelves. All shops in the city have removed Japanese imported cigarettes.

On the 11th, in the face of this situation, Zhou Wenhai ordered the Five Star Group to first clean up all Japanese products in the Five Star Department Stores and Duty Free Shops, and cut the price by 20% to sell the products under its club.

Throughout May, the five-star group that benefited the most from the boycott of Japanese goods was the Lotte Group. The market value of the five-star group increased by about 600 billion won in this month, while the market value of the Lotte Group evaporated. About 1 trillion won.

The turmoil in May did not calm down in June, but intensified. The two sides evolved from labor issues to comfort women and domestic issues. Both South Korea and Japan claimed Dokdo (Takeshima) as their country’s territory. .

Yangpyeong-gun, Gyeonggi-do

The factory project in Yangpyeong County was completed first, and Zhou Wenhai organized all relevant ministries to check and accept the factory.

"Mr. President."

While Zhou Wenhai and others were inspecting the factory, Park Zhouyong didn't know where he came from.

"President Park, what's the matter with you?"

Although Zhou Wenhai said he wanted to see Park Zhouyong after Kim Hee Sun left last time, he has not had time.

"Mr. President, I was really confused about the last time. Please forgive me."

Park Zhouyong puffed in front of everyone, knelt down in front of Zhou Wenhai and begged.

"President Park, what are you doing, get up quickly."

Zhou Wenhai pretended to be kind to help him.

"President, please forgive me."

Park Zhouyong lowered his head and refused to get up.

Zhou Wenhai whispered to Jin Xiujun beside him: "Xiujun, take a few photos with your phone."

"Yes."

Kim Soo-joon took out his mobile phone and took a picture of Park Zhou-yong kneeling in front of Zhou Wen-hai.

"President Park, let's talk slowly if we have something to say, get up first."

Liu Zongxiu and Han Dongzhu force Park Zhouyong, and Zhou Wenhai asks him to go to the conference room of Samsung's project department to wait for himself.

After inspecting the factory, Zhou Wenhai took Yin David back to the meeting room of Samsung's project department. The weather was hot and the meeting room was air-conditioned. Park Zhouyong knelt in front of him again.

"President, please forgive me."

Park Zhouyong repeated only this sentence.

"President Park, the court's sentence has already come out. It's useless if you ask me."

Zhou Wenhai said with a smile.

"President, I really can't get the 10 billion compensation, please let me go, otherwise I will have to die."

"President Yoon, what do you think?"

Zhou Wenhai turned to Yin David.

"President, I have no right to make this decision."

David Yin passed the ball back again.

"How long will the office building and school be completed?"

"According to the current progress, the office building will take at least four months, and the school will take about one month."

David Yin answered.

"President Park, let me do that. I will give you 2 months. If you complete the construction of the office building and school within 2 months with quality and quantity, then you don’t need to pay back the 10 billion. Of course, the project I will pay you the money as usual."

In order to finish the office building quickly, Zhou Wenhai could only forcefully put the pressure on Park Zhouyong in this way.

Park Zhouyong calculated it in his mind. If he followed Zhou Wenhai's statement, his club would hardly make any money, and even had to fill a small part of it, but this would be better than a net 10 billion won.

"Yes, Lord President, don't worry, I will definitely complete this task if I try my best."

Park Zhouyong kowtowed to Zhou Wenhai and said.

"President Yoon, you are responsible for supervising President Park. If there is a quality problem, I will not spare you."

"Yes."

David Yin also took part of the responsibility for the Park Zhouyong incident. He didn’t dare to say anything and he could only agree to it. The construction period was shortened by half, which meant that labor and machinery had to be doubled, and the night construction couldn’t be stopped. The construction works in turn 24 hours a day.

"President Park, if you do a good job this time, I will subcontract part of the project to you over the affordable housing."

The progress of the construction of the affordable housing must also be speeded up. Zhou Wenhai plans to use the office building to do a test first to see if this speeding up the construction speed will work.

Seongnam

On the second day after returning from Yangpyeong County, Zhou Wenhai convened the executives of the club for a meeting. The central theme of the meeting was to relocate the factory.

"The factory project in Yangpyeong County passed the acceptance yesterday. It was Mr. Yoon and I who went to the site personally to check and accept them one by one. All the clubs involved in factory production will start mobilizing everyone to prepare for the relocation of the factory after we go back today."

Zhou Wenhai first briefly explained the current situation in Yangping County and what they need to do urgently.

"Sir President, what should we do with the current factory after we move?"

Pei Jiaen got up and asked.

"President Bae, the development momentum of your five-star life club is very good. The factory in Seoul cannot stop. You can recruit people again when you arrive in Yangpyeong County. The five-star food club and the five-star household club need to be relocated to Yangpyeong County as a whole. Of course, in During the relocation process, everyone should decide how to relocate based on actual production needs. I don’t think I need to make arrangements for everyone for such a simple thing, right?"

"Yes."

Pei Jiaen answered first, and then Deputy President Huang of the Five-Star Food Association and Li Zonghao of the Five-Star Household Association also stood up and replied.

"President Han, you can start to select the location of the five-star department store in Yangpyeong County. After the selection is made, we will proceed with the construction."

The reason why the five-star department store did not start construction with other projects at the beginning, Zhou Wenhai considered to build an ecological business district, so it is necessary to wait for the construction of affordable housing to gradually carry out the layout.

"Yes."

"Director Han, tomorrow you will help me make an appointment with President Xu Minjing of Amorepacific Group. I will personally go to the cosmetics club to discuss the relocation of the factory with her."

Zhou Wenhai said to Han Jingen.

"Yes."

"Minister Luo, when you come down, you will help Shirley xi to draw up an official letter from our club. The general content of the letter is to ask those clubs that have signed a contract with us to relocate their factories from today to prepare to move their factories. The time limit is 30 days. "

"Yes."

Director Luo, the head of the personnel department and secretary office, replied.

"Yes."

Cui Xueli then replied.

"Everyone, now is the time for us to show our talents, and a bright future is beckoning us, you know?"

At the end of the meeting, Zhou Wenhai did not forget to cheer for everyone.

"Yes."

Everyone stood up and replied in unison.

After the meeting, Xu Junji came to Zhou Wenhai's office alone.

"Wen Hai, are you free at noon?"

Xu Junji asked with a smile.

"Do you want to have dinner together at noon?"

Zhou Wenhai stopped signing, he put down his pen and asked.

"Yes, I told you last time to take you to see my girlfriend."

When it comes to his girlfriend, Xu Junji feels a little embarrassed.

"Okay, Jun Gi, wait for me."

Zhou Wenhai couldn't help but look at Xu Junji like that. After he signed all the documents that needed his signature, he took the folder to Cui Xueli.

"Jun Gi, where shall we eat at noon?"

"At the Shilla Hotel."

"Okay, then I ask President Li if he is free."

Zhou Wenhai didn't want to go to dinner with Xu Junji alone. He sent a message to Li Fuzhen asking if the other party was free at noon. Li Fuzhen replied that he was free, so he asked her to have lunch with them at noon.

Jung-gu, Seoul

At the Shilla Hotel, Xu Junji first went to the western restaurant to wait for Kim Jae Yoon, and Zhou Wenhai took the elevator directly to Li Fuzhen’s office.

"President Lee, are you finished?"

When Zhou Wenhai came across from Li Fuzhen, he sat down naturally.

"Yes, right now."

Li Fuzhen is still reading the contract carefully.

A few minutes later, Li Fuzhen put down the contract. She raised her head and smiled and said to Zhou Wenhai: "Chairman Zhou, well, let's go."

"Yes."

The two took the elevator to the western restaurant together again, when Kim Jae-yoon had arrived.

Zhou Wenhai carefully watched the woman sitting across from Xu Junji. She did indeed look about the same age as Xu Junji. She was dressed very fashionable, but she was really ordinary in appearance, but not ugly.

"Wen Hai, this is my girlfriend Kim Jae Yoon xi" Xu Jun stood up and explained to Zhou Wenhai first, and then he said to Kim Jae Yoon, "Jae Yoon, this is Zhou Wenhai of our Five Star Group. President."

"Hello, President Zhou."

Kim Jae Yoon smiled and said that when she laughed, the wrinkles on her face were more obvious, no wonder she stalked Seo Jun Ki.

"Hello, please allow me to call you sister-in-law."

Zhou Wenhai's words caused Jin Jaeyun to laugh, "Yes."

"In Yunxi, long time no see."

It's Li Fuzhen and Kim Jae Yoon's turn to say hello.

"Yes, Ernie, long time no see."

Through Li Xuxian's relationship, Kim Jae Yoon and Li Fuzhen have met many times, and the other side treats her as an older sister.

When the dishes are on the table, Xu Junji cuts and feeds steaks for Kim Jae-yoon with a gentlemanly demeanor. Zhou Wenhai sees goose bumps straight up.

"Chairman Zhou, why don't you unite with the Blue House and other clubs to suppress Lotte Group on such a good opportunity?"

Li Fuzhen and Kim Jae Yoon did not have a common topic, and she could not see Xu Junji showing affection in front of them, she looked at Zhou Wenhai and asked.

"President Lee, it's not the time yet."

Zhou Wenhai did not show a tendency to suppress Lotte Group at this time. He knew that the Japan-Korea trade war could not help him completely defeat Lotte Group. He was waiting for news from Park Sunwoo.

"I'm afraid that if you miss this opportunity, it will be difficult for you to have such a good time again."

Facing Li Fuzhen’s reminder again, Zhou Wenhai smiled indifferently: “No, President Li, let’s wait patiently.”

"Chairman Zhou, I heard that you took the initiative to buy Hana Daily, right?"

Kim Jae-yoon asked after taking a sip of red wine.

"Yes."

"I wonder if Chairman Zhou is very interested in the newspaper industry or do you have other plans?"

When Xu Junji waited until Kim Jae Yoon finished speaking, he said, "Wen Hae, Jae Yoon works for Dong-A Ilbo."

"Yes, in fact, the profits of the newspaper industry are not very high. We all know this. The reason why I bought Hana Daily was because I had a festival with Joongang Daily, so I needed a newspaper to fight them for me."

After Zhou Wenhai told the Central Daily News, he remembered the relationship between Li Fuzhen and Hong's family. He glanced at each other and Li Fuzhen looked as usual.

"Since this is the case, are you willing to cooperate with our Dong-A Ilbo?"

"Sister-in-law, how do you want to cooperate?"

Zhou Wenhai was quite interested in what she said.

"Let Donga Ilbo and Hana Ilbo merge. After the merger of the two newspapers, we will still be responsible for the management of the two newspapers. We can discuss the proportion of shares. Chairman Zhou, what do you think?”

Joongang Ilbo, Donga Ilbo, and Chosun Ilbo have been merged into the three major newspapers in South Korea, and Hana Ilbo is inferior to the above-mentioned three newspapers.

"Of course, we can talk about it in detail even if it is for the sake of Jun Ki's face."

"Yes, then after I contact our president, we will discuss this together, right?"

"Yes."

The president of Dong-A Ilbo is Jin Jae-ho, and Zhou Wenhai really wants to see each other.

At the end of lunch, Xu Junji and Jin Jaeyun would go to the movies and go shopping in the afternoon. Zhou Wenhai followed Li Fuzhen to her office for tea.

"President Lee, are you familiar with Kim Jae Yoon?"

Zhou Wenhai asked when there were only two of them.

"No, it's just that we have met many people because of the narrative."

Li Fuzhen answered truthfully. UU reading www.uukanshu. com

"Yes, then based on your contact with her, do you think she is worthy of our Jun Gi brother?"

"That's it. I heard that Jae-yoon had a marriage when she was young, but she divorced before long. She can be regarded as the number two person in the Dong-A Ilbo, so she has good abilities."

Li Fuzhen commented pertinently.

"Yes, then I can rest assured."

Zhou Wenhai said with a smile.

"President Zhou, what can you worry about?"

"Brother Jun Gi to Kim Jae Yoon, I don't worry."

"Haha..." Li Fuzhen was amused all of a sudden, "I didn't expect Chairman Zhou to have such a good relationship with President Xu."

"Yes, we are as good as brothers."
