Chapter 1127 The Overall Situation Changes Again

Early the next morning, Yang Dongxu was woken up by a phone call while he was still sleeping. He gently pulled out his arm that was pressed by Li Fujin, frowned and answered the phone, and then his originally fuzzy brain suddenly woke up.

Lao Sa was captured, Saddam was captured! The Iraq War has come to an end. In fact, as early as mid-April this year, the United States had announced the end of the war in Iraq.

That’s right!

In the first half of this year, when the whole world was panicking because of SARS, the United States directly launched war on Iraq at the end of March, and then directly occupied the entire territory of Iraq in a blitzkrieg in mid-April, and then Saddam was forced to flee and hide.

The whole world is in the haze of SARS, and the entire Middle East is in the haze of war. Now that Saddam has been captured, everything seems to have settled.

But Yang Dongxu knew that this was just the beginning of another trouble, because the U.S. policy of "overthrowing Saddam and controlling Iran" seemed to have ended successfully when Saddam was arrested.

But Iraq did not return to stability as the United States imagined, and then they could sit at home and count money in peace.

Instead, it slowly dragged the United States into a big quagmire, from the time Saddam was captured to the next more than seven years. Iraq has never been peaceful, and the U.S. expenditures on troops stationed in Iraq continue to increase every year. And soldiers continued to suffer casualties.

It took seven years until the new US President Obama announced the withdrawal of troops from Iraq after taking office. No one can tell whether the United States made money or lost money in its war with Iraq. But on the surface, it seems that the United States has been struggling in the quagmire of Iraq in the past seven years, and it is difficult to survive anyway.

"What's wrong?" Although Yang Dongxu's movements were very gentle, Li Fujin still woke up.

"Saddam has been captured." Yang Dongxu frowned, and he didn't know what kind of mood he was feeling at this moment.

Although he has known about this matter for a long time and also knows the final result of LS. But after experiencing it again, especially looking at the problem from a different angle, he always felt inexplicably blocked in his heart.

"Isn't that the Middle East?" Li Fuzhen's eyes suddenly widened.

Compared to ordinary people watching the excitement, as the eldest princess of Samsung. Although she has basically left Samsung now, she is very clear about her attitude towards South Korea in the Middle East.

In other words, the Middle East is also very important to South Korea. After all, South Korea is too small and has almost no natural resource reserves. Therefore, its development requires the continuous import of large amounts of resources from foreign countries, among which oil is an important strategic resource that is inaccessible and essential for economic development.

In addition to electronic products and hotels, Samsung Heavy Industries is the core industry of Samsung. The foundation of Samsung becoming a chaebol based in South Korea.

"It's not that simple." Yang Dongxu shook his head.

"Are there any further troubles?" Li Fuzhen frowned.

Although she has left Samsung, Samsung is her natal family after all.

"It's just the end of Lao Sa's regime. Look, Iraq will never be calmed down as quickly as the Western media touts, and then a bullshit free and democratic regime will be established. The trouble has just begun." Yang Dongxu said Put your phone on the bedside table and lie down again.

"You are not optimistic about the United States' control of Iraq?" Li Fujin came over and leaned on his chest.

"In front of the United States, Iraq's military strength is not worth mentioning, so it is easy to win the war. After all, it is not of the same magnitude.

But the purpose of war is plainly for profit. Now that Lao Sa has fallen, how will the subsequent cake be divided? Whether we can eat the cake safely is much more complicated than simply destroying war targets. "

Li Fujin was silent. As the three-star eldest princess, she has seen too many dramas in which people turned against each other because of interests. Of course, no one in Iraq may dare to turn against the United States unless they want to start another war.

But if you don't come here blatantly, you can secretly get more benefits, right?

When everyone has common interests and works together, they will naturally be very active. Let's divide the cake. After the ancient emperor ascended the throne, he killed more than one or two heroes. This is not just ancient Chinese history. This is true for all those in power around the world.

"There won't be any big problems, right?" Li Fuzhen couldn't help but ask while lying on Yang Dongxu's chest.

"Don't worry, there won't be another fight. After all, where is the US military power? Those who can fight him will definitely not attack easily, because it is almost equivalent to a world war. Those who can't defeat him will naturally not dare to fight.

But there will definitely be trouble in Iraq in the future, so don’t think about Lao Sa’s downfall. Then you can sit down and eat fruits in peace and quiet. If there are any major oil deals, look for cooperation with other countries in the Middle East. It is best to avoid the Iraqi side in the next few years. "

Yang Dongxu pulled the quilt to cover Li Fujin's exposed pink back. It was already December, and although the heater was on in the room, it was still a bit cold after being exposed outside the quilt for too long.

After thinking about something in bed, Yang Dongxu got up after being affectionate with Li Fujin for a while. It's already bright outside.

"What do you think of South Korea's economy in the next few years?" Li Fuzhen also got up and started to get dressed.

"The world economy will develop greatly in the next few years, and South Korea's economy will naturally be no exception." Yang Dongxu said casually. After speaking, he paused and turned to look at Li Fuzhen: "What, your new president has already taken action?"

In February this year, the new president of South Korea took office. This president is not simple, he is a very strong president. He began to clean up those pro-Japanese chaebols at home, and dared to confront the unreasonable opinions raised by the United States.

Therefore, during the tenure of this president, the Korean economy has developed greatly, but the chaebols have a very hard time. For example, the new president has not been in office for a year, and South Korea has begun to study how to impeach its own president. It can be seen how unwelcome the policies he implements are to these chaebols.

"Last time I went back, my father talked to me and said that he missed home and increased the proportion of Samsung's overseas investment." Li Fuzhen said.

Yang Dongxu nodded in agreement: "Temporarily avoiding the edge is the best choice, after all, Samsung has actually obtained the largest resources it can get in South Korea.

The share of the cake in hand will not increase if it is confronted head-on, so it is better to take a step back and develop the industry in hand. Sit aside and watch these people play games."

The Lee family is certainly the first chaebol in South Korea, and some people even call South Korea Samsung's South Korea. But the power of the South Korean president is also very large when he is in office.

Although being the president of South Korea is a high-risk job, being in jail is considered a good outcome, and there are more than one or two who died after leaving office. But the old accounts will only be brought up after leaving office. If you are the president of South Korea and you confront head-on during your tenure, you will lose the overall situation.

Moreover, Samsung, which has become the uncrowned king of South Korea, has no reason to lead the charge. Because if you win, the cake in your hand is already the largest piece, and it cannot become bigger. If you lose, it will give those who are eyeing it a chance to take advantage of it.

So temporarily avoiding it is the best choice, after all, the chaebols are always changing, and the presidents are always changing. As long as it does not affect your own money, you can do whatever you want. If you want to do it in China, then I will go abroad to make money and ignore you for the time being. Anyway, you will step down sooner or later, and we will wait and see.

"My father wants to increase investment in China in the name of the Lee family." Li Fuzhen said.

Yang Dongxu raised his eyebrows.

Although the Lee family is in charge of Samsung, it does not mean that Samsung belongs to the Lee family. These are two concepts, because to be precise, most of Samsung's shares are not held by the Lee family, but by some Wall Street giants. Even the Wall Street giants once held more than 80% of Samsung's shares.

That is to say, although Samsung Electronics is the pride of South Korea's industry, its headquarters is in South Korea, its executives are basically Korean, and its head and founder are all from the Lee family, but legally, Samsung Electronics is not a Korean company, but a foreign company.

So investing in the name of the Lee family and investing in the name of Samsung are two concepts. In the former, whether the investment makes money or loses money, it belongs to the Lee family, and in the latter, the Lee family is only one of the shareholders who receive dividends, and it is not the one who gets the most dividends.

In fact, a long time ago, in order to get rid of the control of Samsung by Wall Street giants, or to enhance the influence of the Lee family on Samsung. The Lee family has made a lot of arrangements, and some of the industries have initially achieved results and developed very well.

Of course, everything must be done in moderation. It is impossible for the Lee family to use Samsung's money to develop its own industry, so there are many games here.

"You know the mainland's policy on foreign investment in the mainland, so if your father wants to invest, just follow the normal procedures. If you ask me which industry I am optimistic about, I think the mobile phone industry is good." Yang Dongxu said after a pause.

The main investment must be based on Samsung. This is the premise that cannot be changed, otherwise those Wall Street giants will definitely not be willing. However, the Li family can pick a few key points in the investment project to increase their investment.

Li Fuzhen emphasized that when investing in the name of the Li family, the answer he wanted to know was undoubtedly this.

"I will make suggestions to my father." Li Fuzhen nodded.

Although the mobile phone industry has flourished in recent years, Samsung has more than one industry that is booming.

However, compared with other industries, the mobile phone industry is indeed an emerging industry. At least compared with giants such as Nokia and Motorola, Samsung, which entered this industry in 2000, has a reputation in this industry, but it can only be regarded as a newcomer.

And those Wall Street giants may have many people holding shares in Motorola and Nokia. Therefore, Samsung, a newcomer, will obviously not be taken too seriously, so there is a lot of room for maneuverability here.

"You can increase investment funds in the name of jointly developing new mobile phones with Dongxu Technology, dilute a part of Samsung's shares, and then you can secretly increase your holdings. However, Dongxu Technology must also increase its holdings in proportion to the diluted part."

"Got it." Li Fuzhen was originally helping Yang Dongxu put on his clothes. When she heard this, she slapped Yang Dongxu in anger.

Although as the eldest princess of Samsung, she had clearly distinguished business from favors.

But when the man she loved treated her with a businesslike attitude, she would definitely feel a little depressed.
