The 228th Blue House (2)
The dinner went very smoothly. Under the introduction of Jin Meiren, Li Cong quickly got acquainted with most of the officials of the president’s faction, and basically understood the reason why the president was so enthusiastic about him. It turned out to be for investment. The financial crisis in South Korea has suffered a lot, but people who are useless in the crisis can only suffer, and useful people will help themselves to earn huge profits in the crisis. This is the difference between people.
"Mr. Lee is really young and promising. Since the history of the whole world, no one has been on the throne of the world's richest man at such a young age. Mr. Lee is truly unprecedented." At the banquet, the South Korean president praised Mr. Lee for a while. .
"Mr. President is really exaggerating. I'm just lucky, but Mr. President has governed the Republic of Korea in an orderly manner. I have already felt it in the past two days." Face is upheld by everyone. People praise you so much. You You have to compliment others so much, otherwise you will appear to be ignorant of manners.
"I'm very pleased that Mr. Lee can say that. We in South Korea also like that Mr. Lee can invest in South Korea." He showed his tail so soon, but it's no wonder that he just received the news that the opposition party Some congressmen have been contacted to prepare to impeach him, and it is reported that Kim Yong Nam organized it.
If the relationship between Lee Myung-bak and Kim Yong-nam is not very good in normal times, but it will never reach such a point, this time it can only be said that Kim Yong-nam is old and confused, and he has set up an enemy for himself for no reason. A day or two things, but if the president wants to trouble you, he can do it in minutes. Although it can't hurt you, some trouble is always trouble.
"I don't know what I can do for me by investing in South Korea, Mr. President?" Li Cong gestured with a wine glass. Since I have said so clearly, I also asked clearly, if there is no profit, I am afraid I will not do it. , Is there anything in Korea that you can invest in?
Li Mingbo did not answer, but gave Li Cong a look. There are so many people here, it is really difficult to make such a deal. The two of them went into the office of the president next to them one after the other, watching Li Cong seems to have seen it here, and suddenly thought that some American movies will reveal the layout of the White House presidential office. The layout here seems to be the same as that of the White House. Koreans and Americans seem to have learned it on the surface. , Otherwise he would not be a dog to the Americans.
The guest and the host were sitting down. Li Mingbo personally made Li Cong a cup of Tieguanyin made in China. He said that the world's top leaders would like to drink Chinese Kung Fu tea.
"Mr. Lee, frankly speaking, it’s really difficult for me to be the president of South Korea. Your biggest partner in South Korea, Mr. Kim Yongzhi, is going to organize a congressman to impeach me. In vain, I bought the National Petroleum Corporation for him. Running around, now he treats me like this." Li Congzhi felt funny looking at the Korean president's painful experience. If it wasn't for what you did that didn't satisfy Kim Yongzhi, how could he not continue to use you.
Li never said anything. Li Mingbo hasn't said the benefits for himself. He can't be so active at this time. For two people, the first mover will always lose, or the one who loses.
As far as the two people in the room are concerned, they actually have their own needs. What Lee Mingbo needs is Lee Cong’s investment in South Korea. Even if he only makes a small statement, he can write a letter on his political achievements. Some of his media also have something to exaggerate. For Li Cong, he has no social influence in South Korea. He needs the president to increase his influence for him. But in terms of breakdown, the president is more anxious. After all, there are many people who can increase their influence, and maybe there are not many who invest or invest heavily in South Korea.
"By the way, Mr. Lee, our'government' just passed a resolution last week to build a casino on Jeju Island. Gambling can be said to be prohibited in our Republic of Korea, but after our discussions on Jeju Island, we decided to release one. Gambling, I don’t know if Mr. Li is interested in this?" Li Mingbo said slowly, as if this could raise his realm.
Open a casino?This is a profitable business. Moreover, my own mountain top restaurant is also expanding, which is also in line with my own development strategy. Just look at the Macau gambling king to see how profitable the casino is. Jeju Island in South Korea has always been the hottest tourist destination in South Korea. It is also very famous in the world. It receives millions of people from various countries every year. This is my own way of making money.
Although there are some underground casinos all over South Korea, underground casinos are not on the table. Some rich people still don’t like to go to places where they can’t get on the table. They don’t feel that they can show their wealth. That’s why many rich people from all over the world sit here. Take a plane to Macau or Las Vegas and take a gamble. It would be even better if you got on the Guinness Book of Records.
"Of course I am interested, Mr. President. It happens that I am also building a high-end entertainment city in our country. If Mr. President can grant me this project, I think I will invest some in South Korea." Needless to say, too. Understand, it's just a gesture, the first legal casino in the Republic of Korea is about to open in our hands.
"Mr. Lee is really our best friend in the Republic of Korea. Not only does he provide us with such high-quality environmentally friendly oil, but he also contributes to our economy. I just don't know which aspect Mr. Lee will invest in?" I have already stated the actual situation. However, Li Cong only gave a general vague investment intention, which is not enough. Politicians and businessmen need to be careful at every step in their dealings, because both sides are cannibals.
Li Cong thought for a moment that there are not many projects he can invest in South Korea. The energy industry can only sell hotels and home appliance chains. However, there are two major groups such as Samsung and LG in such a small place in South Korea. I'm afraid there is something wrong with grabbing food here. Why can't I compete with others, so I can only leave hotels, but South Korea is such a big place, how many restaurants can you open?Although I think so in my heart, things still have to be done. The big deal is to throw money away. Anyway, there is a casino that will not make money every day.
"Mr. President, you also know that my main industries are environmentally friendly oil and electricity, but I must regret to tell you the truth, neither of which can be brought to South Korea. You don't need to tell me the reason you know." Although you know it is so. As a result, Li Mingbo still looked disappointed after hearing what Li Cong said, but he nodded in understanding, "But I can invest in other industries. My hotel chain is expanding domestically. If it is convenient for Korea, I Twenty hot pot restaurants, three five-star hotels, tens of billions of yuan will be opened all over Korea, right?” This number has been reduced to the lowest in Li Cong’s mind, and the tastes of Koreans may not match Like the Chinese, hot pot restaurants may just be fooling around here.
After hearing this Li Mingbo’s face immediately smiled. A large investment order of tens of billions of yuan is also good. Although it is a little less than the amount of hope in my heart, I need to invest in things like others. I am It cannot be forced.
"Mr. Lee, you also know that the resources of the Republic of Korea have always been inadequate." Insufficient?I don’t think there is any at all, Li Cong thought to himself, I don’t know what the president’s idea is."Some of our country’s thermal power plants import large amounts of coal in your country, which is troublesome and pollutes the environment. I wonder if your company can supply us with 100 billion kWh of electricity every month, so that we can shut down the two most polluting firepower. It's a power plant, what do you mean?" It turned out to be the idea.
"You also know that my electricity sales are specially contracted to others." Li Congmian'difficulty'.
"Oh, but if the environment improves, it should increase my approval rate very high." Li Mingbo'Lu' showed a more ugly face,'Well, I know Hyundai Group has some shares in Mitsui Group. I don’t know if Mr. Li is interested?" No one is living Lei Feng these days, and Li Cong needs motivation to work.
Mitsui Group?Yes, it seems that this transaction can be done.
