Chapter 1841 Li Family
Just like the soju in Korea is not what we think it is, just like the holes in Korean place names do not mean that the place is located in a big pit or cave, Itaewon in the center of Seoul is not a big yard.
This is another well-known business district in Korea.
Unlike Myeongdong, you see more oriental people in Myeongdong, while in Itaewon, most of the people are westerners.
This is an exotic business district developed based on the famous U.S. military Yongsan base next to it, so the origin of this business district is not very nice to say, it started from the red light district.
It may be because it is felt that the U.S. Forces Korea Command, the U.S. Army Facilities Management Command in Pyeongyang District, and a large number of U.S. military families live here, and safety is guaranteed. Now Itaewon has become a famous luxury residential area north of the Han River, and many Korean chaebols have settled here.
The most famous of them is naturally the No. 1 luxury house in Korea under the name of Lee Kun-hee. This No. 1 naturally refers to his house covering an area of more than 3,000 square meters, which is the most expensive house in Korea.
While Feng Yiping was eating supper, others were eating supper here.
Listening to his eldest daughter's report, Lee Kun-hee, who was sitting in the main seat, did not speak.
Although he was at home and was only wearing home clothes, Lee Kun-hee still looked very majestic.
For wealthy families like them, it is difficult to effectively distinguish between work and life. The relationship between parents and children is naturally no longer simple, including the relationship between husband and wife.
Because a small decision may involve huge interests, even at home, he treats his wife and children more carefully than he treats his subordinates at work.
As his children grew up, Lee Kun-hee became more and more unfamiliar with the identity of a loving father.
However, when she heard Lee Boo-jin say that Feng Yiping was accompanied by Jeon Ji-hyun to eat supper at a street stall, Mrs. Lee, who was also from a famous family and the daughter of Hong Yeon-ki, the chairman of Korea's largest newspaper, JoongAng Ilbo, couldn't help but say, "A well-known female star representing our Republic of Korea, just met him just now, and she accompanied him to eat supper?"
Her words were full of regret.
Although in their eyes, the so-called stars in Korea are just actors, but they are also Korean actors. How can they be so unrestrained in front of a foreigner?
Regarding this point, Li Fuzhen has something to say, "It's just to show the hospitality of the host. Besides, mom, how many women in this world can refuse someone like Feng Yiping?"
There seems to be something interesting in this sentence. Li Jianxi glanced at his daughter.
Indeed, there are not many women in this world who can refuse Feng Yiping, and in fact, it is more than that.
Even Mr. Li himself can't refuse someone like Feng Yiping. If he can become the object of marriage, it would be great!
However, this is obviously impossible.
However, this time, it may not be him who looks down on others, but Feng Yiping may look down on his daughter.
Li Jianxi thought to himself that if he had such achievements at Feng Yiping's age and had such a good development prospect, he would definitely not want to find a girl whose own conditions are not so good, but whose family is very influential as his wife.
After reading Feng Yiping's information, Li Jianxi actually envied Feng Yiping.
From the perspective of outsiders, Samsung's business has penetrated every aspect of Korean life, and its annual revenue accounts for nearly 20% of Korea's GDP.
It is no exaggeration to say that if I cough, Korea will tremble, but to be honest, how can I be as free as Feng Yiping?
Take Samsung Electronics, the largest profit pool under Samsung Group, for example. The shares held by the Lee family and related stakeholders are less than the proportion of Samsung's revenue to Korea's GDP, at most 15%.
Foreign capital, mainly from the United States, accounts for as much as 55%. Another figure that must be explained is that 80% of the preferred shares issued by Samsung Electronics are in the hands of American capital, led by Wall Street capital.
And we know that preferred shareholders, although they do not have the right to vote or be elected, and therefore have limited participation in the company's operations, enjoy the first-class rights in terms of profit dividends and the right to distribute residual property.
In other words, the GDP they create belongs to Korea, but the vast majority of the profits they create belong to the United States.
The reason why South Korea has developed so fast and so well is very similar to Israel. A big reason is that it has received key support from the United States because of its special relationship with the United States.
Originally, in Asia, the United States focused on supporting RB, but RB's complacency in the 1980s "buying the United States" made the United States turn more resources to South Korea.
Lee Kun-hee is very clear that the reason why Samsung Electronics has developed so well is that in addition to the support of Wall Street capital, low-cost technology transfer and R&D cooperation from the United States that other countries can hardly enjoy is also one of the main reasons.
Lee Kun-hee himself has a good relationship with Wall Street, and Feng Yiping also has a good relationship with Wall Street, but Lee Kun-hee is fully aware of the difference between good and not bad. Feng Yiping and Wall Street are equal, or in other words, Wall Street has more things to ask of Feng Yiping.
For him, Wall Street is equivalent to his boss.
Lee Kun-hee suddenly felt that the midnight snack in front of him was tasteless.
The mother and daughter were still discussing Feng Yiping over there, but the direction was slowly turning towards the gossip side. Women from wealthy families were also women.
Can’t they gossip about others when they are being gossiped about by others? Especially Feng Yiping. In terms of wealth, he is richer than the real first family in Korea. In terms of appearance, he is also quite talented.
Not to mention those young women, since the three major TV stations reported the news of his coming to South Korea, there are many middle-aged women who call him "Oppa" like Jun Ji-hyun's mother.
The gossip of such people is indeed very attractive and very telling.
Li Fuzhen was answering his mother's question, "He is really more respectful towards women, but I analyze it," she lowered her voice so that her father at the other end of the table could not hear her words, "there is an element of machismo. , This may have something to do with the environment in which he grew up. He believes that women should be the weak ones who are protected,"
"It's true," Mrs. Li glanced at Mr. Li and lowered her voice, "But no matter what the reason is, a man who knows how to take care of ladies is a good man."
"When we first met him, he was indeed a very gentle person. Judging from his clothing, he was not extravagant. But paradoxically, he seemed to enjoy the welcoming scene he put on for us."
Her father, who had been deep in thought, suddenly interjected, "According to the information, it seems that he has not asked any of his subordinate companies, including his hotel, to hold such a ceremony for himself?"
Li Fuzhen quickly sat upright, "Yes, I just checked specifically. Not only did he not ask his subordinates' companies to hold such a ceremony for him, on the contrary, he and his company are at the other extreme in this regard and have always refused to do so. The emphasis on pomp and circumstance means that in terms of conference affairs, from its establishment to the present, they have always demanded simplicity in everything."
"Management meetings are never arranged in a venue and are never held outside the company. All meetings are not allowed to display the kind of banners that the Chinese government and enterprises like to hang when they hold meetings."
Li Jianxi only asked one question, and Li Fuzhen answered so much. This shows how much she attaches importance to what Li Jianxi told her.
She can master so much information proficiently in a short period of time. This ability is obviously extraordinary. No wonder the outside world calls her "Little Li Jianxi".
Li Jianxi nodded, which obviously contained praise for his daughter, "This is a very restrained young man. This is the quality that young people today lack,"
"Dad, you are right," Li Fuzhen stood up respectfully, "I will definitely remember your teachings,"
This kind of response is common in their family.
Mrs. Li asked the question her daughter wanted to ask, "So, will you meet him?"
Meet Feng Yiping? Li Jianxi naturally wanted to, but it seemed that Mr. Feng didn't seem to have much intention to see him. Otherwise, he should have mentioned it during the welcome this afternoon.
"It's better to let our eldest daughter keep in contact with him first," Li Jianxi said.
ps: Although it’s a little late, it’s better to have something than nothing. It’s Monday again, so please vote for me.
