Chapter 439 Big Bomb
What is interesting is that after Jin Yuzhong escaped, Yang Xing's intelligence department tried to catch clues of him many times, but every time he was always one step behind. He was either found out and escaped, or someone could stop their actions. After several times, Yang Xing also realized that there was something wrong with this.
The most nervous thing to say that Kim Woo-jung fled with money should be the South Korean government, but Yang Xing's subordinates found that Kim Woo-jung not only kept holding his Korean passport and swaggeringly entered and exited European countries freely, without any nervousness of being wanted. Moreover, there were always some Asians with special identities around who secretly protected him, and these people looked like professional agents.
In the words of Chen Changzheng, this is a jealous way, just like Lai Changxin does not hide his identity after escaping, but instead squanders his money in Canada. The Yuanhua case involves too many upper-class people, and has developed from a simple economic case to a political struggle of the upper-class people. Many people may not want to tell more amazing inside stories after returning to China. Therefore, the central government is restricted and cannot take big moves to bring Lai Changxin back to China according to normal channels, so he turned to Yang Xing for help.
Jin Woo-jung's escape now seems to be implicated in many senior officials in the South Korean government. Many people hope that he will never return to China. The professional agents around him are both protectors and surveillancers. No wonder Yang Xing has never been able to find him before. Yang Xing, who has not been fooled by Korean TV series in his previous life, believes that the level of Korean agents is probably only third-rate in the international level, so domestic intelligence agencies have easily done what he has not done and can find out Jin Woo-jung's whereabouts. Chen Changzheng gave Yang Xing a great gift.
If Kim Woo-jung can be held in his hands, Yang Xing believes that he will be more sure of acquiring Daewoo Group. The rise of the South Korean consortium is closely related to the support of the South Korean government, especially as the six old consortiums in South Korea, they have been the target of the South Korean government's focus. However, there is no free lunch in the world. The corresponding six consortiums have paid a lot of price to reach many private transactions with the government. Officials at all levels of the South Korean government have received "red envelopes" from large consortiums. It is almost an open secret in South Korea.
Kim Woo-jung was brave enough to go against the trend during the Asian financial crisis and chose to expand the group scale on a large scale, which allowed Daewoo Group to once sit in the throne of the second largest consortium in South Korea. It would definitely not be possible without the support of some officials of the South Korean government. The biggest problem facing the acquisition of Daewoo was the intentional delay of the government's officials stationed in Daewoo Group. Now that Kim Woo-jung can hold it in the hands of the negotiations, it is undoubtedly a heavy weight.
What's more, Jin Yuzhong has been with Daewoo Group for decades, and he has simply regarded Daewoo Group as his private property. Only he knows the complex property rights relationship and various personnel arrangements within Daewoo Group. If Daewoo Group successfully acquires, Jin Yuzhong himself will be a big gold mine. All the secrets of Daewoo will be spread out in front of Zhongxing International, and quickly grasps the core secrets of Daewoo Group for Zhongxing International, and successfully acquires shorten the time.
Of course, it is not so easy to control the acquisition case of Daewoo and Hong Kong Telecom at the same time. The acquisition amounts involved in both companies are as high as 10 billion US dollars. Even if Chen Changzheng comes forward to bargain on behalf of the central government, Yang Xing still needs to plan carefully before he can do it. He has been considering this matter for the rest of the flight, and only when he gets off the plane has a vague outline. So he still did not take the initiative to make a promise to Chen Changzheng, but promises him to think carefully before giving Chen Changzheng a satisfactory reply. Without further ado, Yang Xing, who has these new news, sent Chen Changzheng away, and immediately notified all corporate executives in Hong Kong to gather for a meeting.
Before the meeting, he first listened to the cross-weather telephone report from Yoon Jin, Han Se-ho and other Korean branch personnel. They were the personnel who were mainly responsible for the Daewoo acquisition case this time. In their words, Daewoo Group has many problems, the negotiations are slow, and the future is uncertain. Compared with another competitor, the Japanese-South Korea joint consortium represented by Yasuda Ichinosuke, their situation is not optimistic. Obviously, for the South Korean government and Daewoo creditors, they have more favorable feelings for Japan than the Americans brought by Yang Xinghu's fake tiger power.
After World War II, South Korea created the "Han River Miracle" that shocked the world. The economy suddenly leaped from an agricultural society that could not feed into an industrial power, a large part of which was attributed to Japan's financial and technical support. The 1960s was the peak of the Cold War, and the two major camps confronted sharply, and South Korea was the forefront of the Cold War. In this era, in order to ensure the economic security of South Korea, the United States, as the "society-minister" of the Far East, put a lot of pressure on his subordinate Japan, South Korea's two allies, forcing them to repair and form a strategic alliance in the Far East to unite against the threat of the Soviet Union.
When Japan and South Korea negotiated to establish diplomatic relations, Japan took advantage of this background situation and refused to make concessions on issues such as apology, compensation, and territory, and tried all its tricks, making the South Korean military regime passive in the negotiations at that time. However, because South Korea was eager to develop its economy and urgently needed Japan's "compensation" and economic cooperation, it forcibly accepted Japan's request. In 1965, the Japanese and South Korean governments quickly approved and passed the "South Korea-Japan Agreement" and formally established diplomatic relations.
The Japanese took a big advantage in establishing diplomatic relations. Out of compensation and supporting the pro-Japanese mentality of South Korea, the Japanese had a great tilt in their investment in South Korea in the subsequent economic exchanges between the two countries, and transferred a lot of high-tech technologies, and even sent many technical experts to develop South Korea from a poor and backward agricultural country to a number of industrial powers in Asia.
Under this historical origin, several major consortiums in South Korea have close ties with the Japanese financial community, and Daewoo Group is no exception. South Korea's economy suffered the most in the Asian financial crisis. At the same time, although Japan also suffered considerable losses, as the world's second largest economic power, Japan's strength is still far above South Korea. In order to save itself, South Korea was forced to accept the harsh conditions of the International Monetary Fund and open up financial investment to foreign financial investors. Many Korean banks have become the targets of Japanese buyers.
The current situation is that even if China Star International attracts Americans to help, it is still not favored by Korean domestic economic personnel. Daewoo's bankruptcy liquidation committee clearly stated that it is inclined toward the Yamada family. Although Yoon Jin and the others have made a lot of efforts, many Daewoo's middle-level employees who were persuaded by him in the early stage have begun to retreat, which makes them feel frustrated.
After hearing this, Yang Xing did not blame the Korean branch for its poor work, but performed their efforts, which would be great to keep the Daewoo acquisition case unstoppable. He gave them a reassurance, saying that the company would introduce new policies to solve the current difficulties and let them wait patiently. However, Yin Zhen and the others did not have enough confidence in their boss’ commitments. Although they knew that the boss had the ability to turn decay into magic, now the right time, place, people and people are not on their side, and they are afraid that they will fail!
After the executives of Zhongxing International sat in the conference room, Yang Xing coughed lightly to attract everyone's attention, and then briefly explained the current difficulties in Daewoo's acquisition. At this time, he changed his subject and threw out a big bomb: "Actually, everyone should not be too pessimistic. We have already grasped Jin Yuzhong's whereabouts, but the current situation is that even if we catch it, we might as well fight against the Yasuda family, and release news to the outside world, and say that we are preparing to acquire Fuji Bank!"
Yang Xing used to make shocking ideas at executive meetings, but none of them were as shocking as the big bomb this time. For a moment, the conference room was silent and no one spoke for ten minutes. What it means to acquire Fuji Bank? Everyone is a business veteran in their hearts.
As the core of Fuji Bank, one of the five major consortiums in Japan, the role of Fuji Bank is probably equivalent to the status of Shinfu Investment within Zhongxing International. Its predecessor was the Yasuda Exchange Office founded by Yoshijiro Yasuda, the founder of the Yasuda family. It has a history of more than 100 years. It is a symbol of Fuji Bank and can be said to be an asset that Fuji Bank will never sell. Acquisition of Fuji Bank is equivalent to launching a challenge to the entire Fuji Bank.
When Zhongxing International acquired Shanyi Securities, it was once a member of the Furong Consortium. After obtaining most of the financial assets of Shanyi Securities, Xingfu Investment Group became one of the top ten investment banks in the world. Shanyi Securities was just a abandoned soldier of the Furong Consortium, which made Yang Xing and the others barely eat it. This was based on the premise that Shanyi Securities went bankrupt and collapsed, and the various companies of the Furong Consortium stood by. The major Japanese chaebols are like huge icebergs, exposed on the water, which makes everyone see only the tip of the iceberg, at best, only one-tenth of the size of the iceberg, and it is hard to imagine how huge the potential underwater part is. Zhongxing International has indeed been smooth sailing in recent years, but it is still too early to challenge the Furong Consortium now!
The whole audience was in a mess. After a long time, Fang Kai, the butler of the whole group's money bag, and the chairman of Xingfu Investment Group, who had the most say in the acquisition, finally stood up and said something. After several years of continuous experience, this financial student who once became a deputy manager in the securities department of a local second-level city in China, is no longer the same as before. His handmade custom suits worth hundreds of thousands of yuan were paired with glasses, belts and leather shoes, looked like a professional manager with a successful career in Central, Hong Kong.
Because the Xingfu Investment Group he managed has continuously acquired well-known financial companies in Hong Kong, Yamaichi Securities, Indonesia Central Asia Bank and other regions, his status naturally rose and was called Asia's chief investor by the outside world. He is often invited to attend high-ranking parties in Hong Kong. He is also a regular visitor to its subsidiary Yahuangtai Economic Channel, and commented on the international economy. He knows that all this is thanks to Yang Xing, so he obeys any suggestions of Yang Xing, and supports him no matter how ridiculous his ideas are. The group recognizes that he is a die-hard supporter of Yang Xing.
