The dinner went very smoothly. Under the introduction of Jin Meiren, Li Cong quickly got to know 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. It seems that this time
South Korea suffered a lot from the financial crisis, but those who are useless in the crisis can only suffer, while those who are useful will help themselves make huge profits in the crisis. This is the difference between people.
"Mr. Li is really young and promising. No one has ever ascended to the throne of the richest man in the world at such a young age in the history of the world. Mr. Li is truly unprecedented and unprecedented." At the banquet, the President of South Korea praised Mr. Li for a while.
.
"Mr. President, you are exaggerating. I am just lucky. Mr. President has managed the Republic of Korea in an orderly manner. I have felt it in the past two days since I came here."
You have to praise others so much, otherwise it will appear that you don't understand etiquette.
"I'm very pleased that Mr. Li can say that. We in South Korea also like Mr. Li to invest in South Korea very much." He showed his tail so quickly, but it's no wonder that he has just received the news that the opposition party has contacted him.
Some congressmen are preparing to impeach him, and according to sources, it was Kim Yong-nam who organized it.
If the relationship between Lee Myung-bak and Kim Yong-nam is not very good in normal times, it will never be like this. This time it can only be said that Kim Yong-nam is old and confused and has made an enemy for himself for no reason. Killing the president is not
It takes a day or two, but if the president wants to cause trouble for you, it can be done in minutes. Although it won't break your muscles and bones, some troubles are still troubles.
"I wonder what my investment in South Korea, Mr. President, can do for me?" Li Cong gestured while holding a wine glass. Since he has made it so clear, I will ask clearly. If there is no profit, I will not do it.
, is there anything in Korea that you can invest in?
Li Mingbak did not answer, but winked at Li Cong. There were so many people here and it was really difficult to do such a deal. The two of them entered the presidential office next to him one after another. Li Cong looked at this place.
I seem to have seen it somewhere, and suddenly I thought that some American movies would show the layout of the Presidential Office of the White House. The layout here seems to be exactly the same as that of the White House. It seems that Koreans have learned from Americans on the surface, otherwise they would not be able to do it.
He will become a dog to the Americans.
The guests and hosts were seated, and Li Mingbo personally brewed a cup of Tieguanyin from China for Li Cong. They said that high-level officials in the world would like to drink Chinese Kung Fu tea. It seems that this is true.
"Mr. Li, frankly speaking, it is really difficult for me to be the president of South Korea. Your biggest partner in South Korea, Mr. Kim Yongzhi, is preparing to organize members of parliament to impeach me. It is in vain that I bought the National Petroleum Group for him.
Ben Bo, now you are doing this to me." Li Congzhi found it funny to see the South Korean president learn from the pain. If what you did did not satisfy Jin Yongzhi, how could he not continue to use you.
Li never said anything, and Li Mingbo hadn't said anything about the benefits to him yet. He couldn't be so proactive at this time. In a game between two people, the one who moves first will always lose, or in other words, the one who suffers.
As far as the two people in the room are concerned, they actually have their own needs. What Lee Myung-bak needs is Li Cong's investment in South Korea. Even if he just issues a small statement, he can make a mark on his political achievements.
, some of his media can also 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 urgent.
, after all, there are many people who can increase their influence, but not many people may invest or invest huge sums of money in South Korea.
"By the way, Mr. Li, last week our government just passed a resolution to build a casino on Jeju Island. Gambling is prohibited in the Republic of Korea, but after our deliberations on Jeju Island, we decided to release a gambling license
, I wonder if Mr. Li is interested in this?" Li Mingbo said slowly, as if this could improve his level.
Opening a casino? This is a profitable business. Moreover, your mountaintop restaurant is also expanding, which is in line with your own development strategy. Just look at Macau Gambling King to see how profitable casinos are. Jeju Island in South Korea has always been the most popular in South Korea.
The tourist destination is also very famous in the world. It receives millions of people from all over the world every year. This is its own way of making money.
Although there are some underground casinos all over South Korea, underground casinos cannot be listed on the market. Some rich people still don’t like to go to such places that cannot be listed on the market. They feel that they cannot show their wealth, so many rich people from all over the world will sit there.
Get on a plane and go to Macau or Las Vegas for a big gamble. It would be even better if you get listed in 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 China. If Mr. President can approve this project to me, I think I will invest some money in South Korea." Needless to say, it goes without saying.
Understand, it's just a gesture. The first legal casino in the Republic of Korea is about to open in our hands.
"Mr. Li is really our best friend in the Republic of Korea. He not only provides us with such high-quality environmentally friendly oil, but also contributes to our economy. I just don't know where Mr. Li will invest?" He has already told the actual situation.
, but it’s not enough for Li Cong to only give a general vague investment intention. Politicians and businessmen need to be careful every step of the way when dealing with each other, because both parties are people who can eat people without spitting out their bones.
Li Cong thought for a moment that there were really not many projects he could invest in in South Korea. He couldn't even think about the energy industry. He could only invest in hotels and home appliance chains. But in such a small place in South Korea, there are two major groups, Samsung and LG. He could do it himself.
I'm afraid it's a bit inappropriate to grab food here. I can't compete with others, so the only thing left is hotels. But South Korea is such a big place, how many restaurants can be opened? Although I think so, things still have to be done.
, the worst case scenario is just throwing money away. Anyway, that casino won’t be able to make a fortune every day from now on.
"Mr. President, you also know that my main industries are environmentally friendly oil and electricity, but I must regretfully tell you the truth. Neither of these can be brought to South Korea. I don't need to tell you why." Although I know that is so.
This result, but after hearing what Li Cong said, Li Mingbo still looked disappointed, but he nodded understandingly, "But I can invest in other industries. My hotel chain group is expanding domestically. If it is convenient for me in South Korea,
We will open 20 hot pot restaurants and three five-star hotels across South Korea. Is it okay to invest tens of billions of yuan?" This number has been reduced to the lowest in Li Cong's mind. Korean people's tastes may not necessarily match the same.
Just like the Chinese, opening a hot pot restaurant here is probably just a fool's errand.
After hearing this, Lee Myung-bak immediately smiled. A large investment of tens of billions of yuan is not bad. Although it is a little less than the amount he hoped for, investing in such a thing requires others to be willing. He is
It cannot be forced.
"Mr. Li, you also know that the resources of the Republic of Korea have always been insufficient." Insufficient? I think there are none at all, Li Cong thought, I don't know what the president has in mind. "Some of our thermal power stations are in your country
Importing large amounts of coal is both troublesome and polluting the environment. I wonder if your company can supply us with 100 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity every month, so that we can close the two most polluting thermal power plants. What do you mean?" It turned out to be
I came up with this idea.
"You also know that my electricity sales are specially contracted to others." Li Cong looked embarrassed.
"Oh, but if the environment improves, my approval rate will be greatly improved." Lee Myung-bak showed an even more ugly expression, "Well, I know that Hyundai Group has some shares in Mitsui Group, but I don't know that Mr. Li has
Not interested?" No one can live like Lei Feng these days, and Li Cong also needs motivation to work.
Mitsui Group? Yes, it seems that this deal can be done.
