Chapter 936 The Eye of Greed

Nan Jiajun brought Nan Youqiong to the KBS building in Yeouido, and was about to take Nan Youqiong into the building to have a look, but was stopped by Nan Youqiong.

"Brother Jiajun, you don't need to go in, just take a look outside."

Nan Youqiong looked at the office building of South Korea's No. 1 TV station KBS curiously, thinking about the conversation between Nanyi and Scarlett, about why the family sold 20th Century Fox and the TV network, and when will it happen again in the future? Master certain public opinion tools.

"The world is so complicated that you can't just do whatever you want."

Nan Youqiong sighed inwardly, turned to Nan Jiajun and said, "Brother Jiajun, is KBS a private company?"

Nan Jiajun: "No, it's a state-run TV station."

Nan Youqiong: "Is there a private TV network in South Korea?"

"Yes, MBC, which was established very early, and SBS, which was established in 1990, are both very large TV stations."

Nan Youqiong asked again: "Can these two TV networks be privately owned?"

Nan Jiajun thought for a while and said, "It's very difficult for MBC to buy shares. Seventy percent of its shares are controlled by the major shareholder Broadcasting Culture Promotion Association. This is a very troublesome organization and it is difficult to deal with; The company, the National Pension Service, investment securities, investment trust management, and Daehan Milling are all complicated groups except for Daehan Milling, and it is not a good idea to invest in SBS."

"If you must invest in shares, the best breakthrough target is Daehan Milling?"

"Yes."

"Daehan Milling was established in 1952. It is the largest importer of wheat flour in South Korea and one of the four major flour processing manufacturers. It is mainly engaged in flour processing business with more than 80 kinds of products, including wheat flour, fried flour, bread. flour, cake flour.

In addition, various types of noodles are also available, including spaghetti and macaroni.

The company has two production plants and an overseas organization in the United States. It has three subsidiaries, which are engaged in the manufacture of animal husbandry drugs, animal feed, and port loading and unloading services. "

Nan Youqiong nonchalantly recited the basic introduction of Daehan Milling, which made Nan Jiajun realize that Nan Youqiong did not ask the shareholders of SBS for no reason, "Dad wants me to merge Daehan Milling?"

"PaPa said it's not a merger, but a shareholding. You just need to have a little say, not too much." Nan Youqiong said, showing an innocent smile, "Brother Jiajun, you contact PaPa yourself, I forgot something."

"Okay." Nan Jiajun responded, and said, "Do you want to take another look?"

"No, let's go to the stock exchange."

Brazil's sugar industry is the best in the world, and the state of Sao Paulo is the main sugarcane growing area in Brazil, accounting for more than half of Brazil's sugarcane production.

Sweet Honey Sugar Cane Farm in Sao Paulo State, an affiliated farm of Indigenous Brothers Farm.

Nicholas Fuller, the president of Houji Agriculture, is taking Sun Funan, the president of CheilJedang Co., Ltd., to visit Tianmi Sugarcane Farm.

CheilJedang Co., Ltd. is one of Houji Agriculture's major customers of sugarcane and raw sugar. Since the cooperation, Sun Funan has come to visit every year to inspect Brazil's sugarcane production.

CheilJedang is a South Korean company, and it is not an ordinary company.

Sun Funan's husband is Li Mengxi, Li Jianxi's elder brother with the same father and mother, who used to be the prince of the Star Group.

Originally, according to South Korean tradition, the eldest son Li Mengxi must be the first successor, but after Li Mengxi tried to take over the company, there were many management problems. His father Li Bingzhe finally chose the third son Li Jianxi as his successor.

In 1973, Li Mengxi saw that his position as the crown prince was not guaranteed. He once staged a rebellion with his second brother, and was finally suppressed by Li Bingzhe, which did not cause too much trouble. Drive out of Li's house.

Although he was very disappointed with Li Mengxi, Li Bingzhe could not treat his eldest daughter-in-law and grandchildren badly. Li Bingzhe gave his eldest daughter-in-law Sun Funan and his three grandchildren most of the CheilJedang shares and a small part of the Xinghuo Property Insurance shares.

In 1987, Li Bingzhe passed away, and Li Jianxi took over the whole star. Naturally, Li Mengxi was unwilling, and fought with Li Jianxi for the inheritance.

Compared with Li Mengxi, Sun Funan still misses his father-in-law's good, and doesn't care too much about Bi Xing's property. He only wants to run CheilJedang well and turn CheilJedang into a diversified enterprise.

Now Sun Funan is over 60 years old, his daughter Lee Mei-yong and his son Lee Jae-hyun have grown up. Lee Jae-hyun sits in the head office and is in charge of the department alone, while Lee Mei-yong is beside Sun Funan as an assistant, with the idea of ​​extending CheilJedang’s tentacles into the cultural field buried in his heart. .

"President Fuller, this year's global white sugar supply will be more than last year's, and CheilJedang's profit will be greatly affected. Can we negotiate the supply price this year?" After the circle, Sun Funan suddenly said to Nicholas Fuller.

"As long as Chairman Sun promises to negotiate the supply price in years when the supply is insufficient, we at HJ Agriculture have no problem at all." Nicholas Fuller gave Sun Funan a soft nail.

Houji Agriculture and First Sugar have signed a long-term supply agreement. No matter how the international white sugar price fluctuates, the supply price will be stable within a certain range. When supply exceeds demand, Houji Agriculture takes advantage of it. When demand exceeds supply, First Sugar Sugar is a little bit cheap, and the price line is stretched, and the annual supply prices are added and averaged, and a reasonable average price will be obtained.

In short, the agreement is to reach a balance between the interests of both parties. There is no question of who takes advantage of the other. Relatively speaking, Houji Agriculture is on the weak side because it is a seller of non-monopoly products under the market economy. It is impossible for long-term buyers to beg for the possibility of selling it.

"The weather is a bit hot, President Fuller, let's find a cool place to rest." Sun Funan said naturally, as if the scene just now had never happened.

"President Sun, please follow me."

Nicholas Fuller led Sun Funan to the guest villa on the farm and had drinks prepared.

"President Sun, we have cooperated with each other for eight years and have been very happy. Before that, we only cooperated in the field of sugar production. President Sun may not know us well enough. Allow me to introduce it to President Sun in detail. We are HJ Agriculture."

As soon as Nicholas Fuller's opening remarks came out, Sun Funan immediately smelled something unusual. The other party's words indicated that he wanted to expand cooperation with CheilJedang.

Sun Funan stretched out his hand to signal, "President Fule, please speak."

Nicholas Fuller nodded and said: "Although HJ Agriculture is relatively young and has only been established for 12 years, since its establishment, HJ Agriculture has been in rapid expansion. Brazil, Australia, France, the Netherlands, the United States, Canada, There are our farms in Chile, Peru, Ukraine and other regions;

It also involves food, vegetables, pesticides, fertilizers, seeds, food, food chemistry, catering, agricultural financial investment and other fields. In addition to the pharmaceutical field, our HJ Agriculture has been involved in the fields you are engaged in. If President Sun is interested, Take some time to visit our various subsidiaries of HJ Agriculture. "

Nicholas Fuller paused, and added after pretending to forget: "One more thing, we, HJ Agriculture, have never worried about liquidity, and have always had huge capital reserves. In fact, our biggest annual profit is Investment profits and interest generated from idle funds."

After Nicholas Fuller's words fell, Sun Funan's eyes flickered strangely, "President Fuller, is it convenient for me to ask how much idle funds you have?"

Nicholas Fuller spread his hands, pretending to be helpless and said: "President Sun, I can't tell you the specific figure, it's a commercial secret, but I can tell you more than 10 billion US dollars."

When Sun Funan heard the number "10 billion", he wanted to jump up and spout wildly. Is he running a business or playing a house, letting 10 billion dollars lie down and sleep?

Sun Funan didn't suspect that Nicholas Fuller was bragging. He knew the elegant meaning after hearing the stringed songs, and the other party's meaning was already very obvious. The reason for the in-depth cooperation between the two parties was obviously to take a stake in CheilJedang. Since it's about buying shares, the other party will naturally show off their muscles.

Sun Funan does not reject CheilJedang’s increase in shareholders. As long as the right to speak is in her hands, it is not a bad thing to have a strong shareholder. Of course, such annoying shareholders as Xixing are not included.

"President Fuller, after August, I can spare time."

Sun Funan had long had the idea of ​​kicking Bixing out of CheilJedang, and the general plan was already in his mind. The reason why he set the time later was to allow time to resolve the issue of Bixing’s shares first.

"No problem, President Sun can contact me anytime when he is free." Nicholas Fuller smiled faintly.

...

Seoul, Itaewon-ro 54-gil, Yongsan-gu.

This street is a commercial street, with several commercial and residential buildings in the middle, and a two-story house in between, which is the Seoul office of Nanban.

One hair will affect the whole body, Nan Youqiong is coming to Seoul as the successor of the Nan family, and he definitely needs someone to escort him, not only in terms of personal safety, but also in terms of behavior. Masami Uedo flew to Seoul with Irina to sit in the office, just to be the person behind Nan Youqi's back.

Holding a coffee cup in her hand, Masami Ueto looked down from the window at the women passing through the clothing stores on the street below, and looked at the youthful and energetic outfits that were not suitable for business occasions, feeling a lot of emotion in her heart.

"Elena, after this year, I plan to change jobs."

Elena walked up to Masami Ueto, "Secretary-General, are you leaving the South Office?"

"Yes, I am thirty-five this year and want to get married. As long as I get married, I must leave my current position."

"Why?"

"Women are too emotional. Once they are tied down by emotions, it is easy to affect their judgment at work. My position is too important. If I don't devote myself wholeheartedly, I can't do my job well."

"Boss' idea?"

"It's also my own idea. When I leave Nanban, the chairman will definitely arrange for me to become the president of a company. I don't know which one it will be."

Elena thought for a while, "Secretary-General, as long as you get married, you can't hold your current position?"

Masami Uedo turned to look directly at Irina, and smiled, "For women, yes, the president has no prejudice against women's ability to work, but he extremely distrusts women's emotional thinking. Irina, if you want to sit in my Seat, find a man later."

"clear."

Masami Uedo raised her head, let her face fully bathe in the sun, shook her hair, and said lazily: "I really want to finish work early and go to watch a football game in London. I found a player with great potential in the Japanese youth team, Hidetoshi Nakata, a Little handsome guy, I will definitely drag him to play for Chelsea in the future."

Elena knew that her immediate boss liked to watch football games, and she was dragged to watch football games at night several times in Moscow. She jokingly asked, "Is Manchester United's young David Beckham handsome?"

Hearing this, Masami Ueto's face turned cold instantly, "Don't mention Manchester United in front of me, Yaga, damn Red Devils, blocking Chelsea's forward steps."

Gongyan, a Hanjeongshi restaurant located near Gyeongbokgung Palace, has a very high standard and does not do open-door business. Its reputation is only spread in a small area. The price is very expensive. The minimum per capita consumption is 500,000 won (more than 600 US dollars).

At dinner time, Nan Ruofeng and Nan Youqiong were received by the Li family for a palace banquet. This time the entire Li family was dispatched, and the second daughter Li Xuxian and the third daughter Li Yinyi also came together.

Perhaps because of the similar age, Li Yinyi was arranged to sit next to Nan Youqiong, and Nan Ruoying almost wanted to talk to Li Jianxi on an equal footing. Originally, it was most suitable for Li Zairong to accompany him, but the Li family raised the reception standards , and at the same time, for the convenience of inquiring about the details, Hong Luoxi was directly accompanying him.

Han Dingshi is said to be known as South Korea's Manchu Banquet, but in fact it is nothing more than appetizers, dried vegetables and kimchi, add some water kimchi, pumpkin porridge, cold jellyfish, salad and cold beef; ;The staple food is five-color bibimbap, seafood pancake, buckwheat cold noodles, spicy fried rice cakes, etc., and then some desserts after the meal.

It's quite bluffing when put together, but it's just like that when it's broken down.

After taking a few mouthfuls of the distinctive seafood kimchi, Nan Ruofing added some caution to herself, knowing in her heart that it would be time to play meat in a while.

The current banquet is not as lively as it should be. The two guests are not very old, so wine can't be the theme, and it's unlikely that there will be a lively atmosphere just by eating and drinking.

After the two young guests moved their chopsticks a few times, Hong Luoxi spoke.

"Miss Nan, is your father busy with official duties?"

Nan Ruofing nodded, and said harmlessly: "Yes, my father is very busy. He is busy with the semiconductor business in South America."

The word "semiconductor" was really deafening to Li Jianxi's ears. Some issues that were difficult to figure out before have now become comprehensive. The reason why Weir Bank took the initiative to invest in the Star Group is because of the group's business strategy adjustment.

It is because of Li Bingzhe that Gai Xing was able to appear, but the biggest credit for the development of Gai Xing to this day should be credited to Li Jianxi. It can be said that Li Jianxi created Gai Xing Electronics.

Although Gae-sung Electronics was established as early as 1969, at that time, Gae-sung Electronics was just an electronics factory, assembling a few junk TV sets, relying on keeping Japanese TV sets out of the country, and making a lot of bad money in South Korea .

Even if it is hard to go abroad, it is still relying on low prices to seize the market. Panstar TV has more parts than others, but the price is cheaper than others. Panstar is a low-priced, low-end brand with no technical content.

In December 1974, Li Jianxi, who was the director of Dongyang Broadcasting TV Station at the time, said this to his father Li Bingzhe: "Abba, even if I am alone, I have to try that thing."

"That matter" refers to the reception of South Korea's first wafer processing plant, the South Korean Semiconductor Bucheon Plant.

At that time, Li Jianxi firmly believed that it was imperative to enter the semiconductor business, so he suggested to Li Bingzhe to take over the Bucheon factory previously operated by the American Kamco Company. The cautious Li Bingzhe could not make a judgment immediately.

Therefore, the confident young Li Jianxi stood up and said: "Then let me try it directly!"

A few days later, Li Jianxi acquired South Korean Semiconductor in his own name, which was later known as the Bucheon Semiconductor Factory of Gaesong Electronics, which is also the representative factory of Gaiseong Semiconductor.

Therefore, it can be said that Li Jianxi was the first person to reach out to semiconductors in the Li family of the star. He understands the importance of semiconductors and created his own business. He can be called the number one "silicon crystal fanatic" in South Korea. number one.

At present, the memory business of Panstar Electronics has gradually become the number one in the world. The high-profit field is also because of him.

"South American semiconductor business?" Hong Luoxi was a little confused.

Compared to Hong Luoxi who knew almost nothing about semiconductors, Li Jianxi should not be too proficient in semiconductors. Seeing his wife lose her temper, he hurriedly filled his seat, "Miss Nan, your father is in Tijuana, Mexico?"

"Ah? President Li, how do you know?" Nan Ruofing said with a surprised and puzzled expression.

"Hehe, as far as I know, Tijuana is building a professional electronics industrial zone. Miss Nan, you said that your father is in South America. It just so happens that Tijuana is the closest place in South America to the United States, and it is related to semiconductors. I will try to guess, no Think about it and guess right."

Li Jianxi didn't know whether Nan Ruofeng was really confused or not, so he responded as if he was half confused.

"I see. I'm sorry. I don't know anything about semiconductors. I overreacted." Nan Ruobing said apologetically, and then turned to complain: "I don't know what Dad thinks. More investment, a lot of money has been invested, but the income is very little. If the money is invested in finance, it should have doubled several times by now."

"Your father has a lot of investments in semiconductors?" Li Jianxi couldn't help asking again.

"Yes, there are many. Enterprises in London, Taiwan, Eindhoven, San Diego, Ontario, Santa Clara, and many regions have invested."

Others could not understand what companies these place names corresponded to, but Li Jianxi quickly made a list in his mind, arranging all the semiconductor companies involved in the place names correspondingly—London Aikon, Taichong, Ain Hoffen ASML, San Diego two giants Intel, AMD AMD...

The names of companies floated through his mind, and Li Jianxi suddenly caught something.

"Ikon, no, it should be the shareholders of ARM, the shareholders of ASML, and the shareholders of Intel. The only thing that overlaps is Pan Am Holdings...Adam II Taylor South, Taylor...Scarlett Taylor? Yes, It's Scarlett Taylor."

With this discovery, Li Jianxi thought more deeply, "Why didn't Fanmei Holdings come to the door, but Weale Bank? If Fanmei Investment wants to invest in Qixing Electronics, I definitely welcome it. Fanmei Holdings is well-known in the industry. Invest your money and never interfere.

Is it to bypass the supervision of the US government, or is it to suppress Qixing Electronics?

Or I haven't seen clearly whether Gastar Electronics is worth investing in, so I first borrow money to find out my reality?

And... what is the intention of New Miracle Group and Nan Jiajun? "

Li Jianxi can use the glass to cover up and think, but Hong Luoxi can't let the scene cool down. She still has to fulfill her obligation to accompany the guests, but the "inquiry" cannot continue for the time being, so she can only change the topic. When it comes to what she is good at art field.

From shallow to deep, step by step to test whether Nan Ruofing likes it and whether she can catch her topic.

Although the brothers and sisters Li Zairong and Li Yuzhen have not intervened in the topic, their ears have been pricked up, and they have not missed a word. Li Zairong, who knows something about semiconductors, thinks a little bit, and Li Yuzhen, who doesn't understand semiconductors, also thinks a little bit.

It's just that her thinking is not on the current "right way", but she is worried about "Nan Jiajun". She feels that she is getting closer and closer to marriage, which is something she is absolutely unwilling to do.

Li Xuxian has long seen that her eldest brother and second sister are competing for family property. She knows that she can't fight but doesn't want to fight, so she can only pretend to be invisible; Others are indifferent.

A banquet, seven people, seven different states and mentalities.

After the banquet was over, Nan Ruofing returned to the hotel and began to reflect on every word and every reflection of everyone before, reflecting on her shortcomings.

After the self-reflection was over, she washed up and watched TV for a while, before calling Nanyi at the right time.

"dad."

"Yeah." Nanyi picked up a bun, dipped it in the vinegar dish, took a bite and put it on the dish, "Are you poor enough to sleep?"

"Not yet." After Nan Ruobing said something, he told Nanyi what happened at the banquet just now, "Dad, do you think Li Jianxi guessed it?"

"How could you not guess it? You've almost played your cards right. If the other party doesn't take the initiative to mention it, you shouldn't mention the investment. It's not the best time to invest yet."

"Dad, are you waiting for South Korea's economic bubble to burst?"

"You're right, stay in Seoul for a few more days, learn more about South Korea's economic situation, and find out its weak points. Each of the four little dragons is full of holes. Whether you can achieve a substantial increase in wealth before you graduate will depend on that." It fell on them."

"Hee hee, Dad, my greedy eyes have been opened, my pockets have been opened, and I want to put a lot of small money in it."

"Hehe, you little girl, go to bed early, the sun is coming to the northern hemisphere, it's my turn to go to work and work hard."

"Dad, do you need me to help you cheer?"

"Sing me a song. Haven't you been to North Korea? Sing me a song from the opera "A Sea of ​​Blood" as long as my mother smiles."

"Okay, let me sing, NA, TU, SAI, as long as daddy shows a smiling face, show a smiling face, the sun in the clouds shines, let it shine, as long as daddy shows a smiling face, show a smiling face, beautiful flowers bloom , Qi Yaqi is open, a good father who has gone through hardships, my good father..."

"Haha, North Korean songs let you sing with a South Korean taste, beware that Room 35 will send agents to hunt you down."

"It's absolutely impossible. I sang "We Can't Live Without Him" ​​in Pyongyang and was photographed. I want to be regarded as a model of international friends."

"Go, go, go to bed."
