Chapter 1775 Prelude to Pattern Change
It was December, and Yang Dongxu was focusing on small countries in Southeast Asia and began to cultivate the secondary market of small countries.
When the European and American sports festivals began to gradually promote the news of various Christmas battles in football and basketball, many European and American senior officials, including those in many Eastern countries, were paying attention to one thing.
That is the inauguration speech of the new president of the United States next month, on January 20, 2009. The United States is about to welcome its first black president.
At the same time, the old president who made the world feel that the world was not safe and was fighting everywhere will also end his term. This is definitely a big event and deserves the attention of the whole world.
Because the governing strategy of the first black president after taking office will affect the world situation. After all, the United States is still the undisputed world hegemon, and it is now in the embarrassing position of the global subprime mortgage crisis.
Whether the new president will continue the policy of the previous president, sending American soldiers all over the world, or shifting attention from the military to the economic construction of the United States, these are the focus of attention.
The temperature in South Korea in winter is also chilly. According to the Qinling-Huaihe climate dividing line of China, South Korea's geographical location belongs to the north of Huaihai, so the temperature in winter is naturally not there, and it is very normal to snow.
So in October, even beautiful young ladies have to wear thick flesh-colored cotton socks to keep warm.
A plane with auspicious cloud patterns landed at the airport in Seoul. Yang Dongxu walked out of the open cabin door, took a long breath, and the hot air he exhaled turned into water mist.
So he reached out and pulled the hat on his daughter Tangtang's head. It was a bit painful to take the child out in this weather. Fortunately, just after getting off the plane, a long line of Mercedes-Benz was parked on the tarmac. You can get on the car after getting off the plane, and you don't have to suffer on the shuttle bus without heating at the airport.
The long convoy attracted the attention of tourists who had just got off the plane on another route not far away. Many people took out their mobile phones to take pictures here.
After all, this is a convoy and a private plane. It is a big shot at first glance. Unfortunately, the distance was a bit far. The pixels of smartphones were not good enough. In addition, Yang Xu and his group were wearing thick clothes in winter, so it was difficult to see the faces of people at such a long distance.
After the convoy left a few places, four Mercedes-Benz cars soon joined the convoy, making the whole convoy look more special, with a feeling of the chaebol chairman's trip in a TV series.
There was only a traffic policeman in front with sirens to clear the way, and a police car behind to support.
The convoy drove all the way from the airport to the city of Seoul, and then crossed most of the city to Itaewon, a wealthy area in Seoul.
Such a large-scale convoy was not only noticed by people on the main road, but even in the wealthy area, many people were curious about who was in the convoy.
Until the convoy drove into the home of the Samsung chairman, some people wondered if this was Samsung Chairman Lee going home? But the license plate was a little different.
"Grandpa!" Tangtang got out of the car, opened her little arms, and quickly ran towards Chairman Lee with her short legs. She was not unfamiliar with her grandfather.
No matter how busy Li Fuzhen is, she will occasionally take time to go back to Korea. Now she has her own business in China, and she is also a senior executive and shareholder of Hurricane Construction, which is very famous in Asia.
Therefore, the sharp conflicts such as Samsung inheritance and family property have been temporarily alleviated to a great extent, and the family atmosphere is naturally more harmonious.
Of course, if his daughter had not almost had a sensational love affair with a security guard, and only followed Yang Dongxu despite opposition, the old chairman would definitely be more pleased.
Now even if Yang Dongxu has achieved a lot and even dared to compete with the Morgan Consortium, he still doesn't like this cheap son-in-law.
Of course, he doesn't like his son-in-law, but he likes his granddaughter very much. Every time Li Fuzhen returns to Korea, if she doesn't bring Tangtang. It's like the daughter of an ordinary family who returns to her parents' home without bringing her children and is disliked by her parents.
In addition, smartphones are very common now, and video chats can be made anytime and anywhere. Tangtang should not be too kind to her grandfather.
"Slow down, slow down, my dear." The old president walked a few steps quickly with a smile on his face and hugged his little niece. The happy smile on his face smoothed out a few wrinkles.
After picking up his granddaughter, he took a look at Yang Dongxu, the cheap son-in-law. Then there was nothing else. Fortunately, his eldest brother-in-law smiled and responded, "Come on, come in quickly, it's cold outside."
Yang Dongxu smiled and nodded, and the scene didn't seem so awkward.
After entering the house, Li Zairong walked and chatted with Yang Dongxu while smiling. As for Yang Dongxu's father-in-law, he took his granddaughter to see the gifts he prepared, and had no intention of entertaining his cheap son-in-law.
"Why did you think of meeting in Korea?" Li Zairong asked.
"It's not convenient in Hong Kong. Others are fine. William makes too much noise when he walks. If I go to the United States, it will also make a lot of noise. I guess the FBI will drive from behind.
So the meeting place was set in Korea. It happened that Tangtang said she missed her grandfather, so I brought the children here to play for two days." Yang Dongxu said.
This time I came to Korea not to pay New Year's greetings as it is almost the end of the year, after all, it is too early to do so.
I came to Korea at this time to meet with William Little Jack and others. The reason for the meeting was naturally the issue of the new president's inauguration in January next year.
The ruling policies of the newly elected black president not only affect the world structure, but also affect whether his future relationship with American conglomerates will be tit-for-tat, or whether it can be eased.
For example, if this black president continues the strategy of the previous president, all kinds of American arms dealers around the world will make a fortune.
Then the conflict between him and Morgan and other consortiums will definitely continue to intensify, and a winner will be determined within a year or two at most.
But if the black president’s governing strategy is just to take care of those arms dealers, he will no longer regard sending American soldiers around the world as his characteristic.
If the U.S. arms dealers have restrained themselves, the U.S. government will not have such a strong smell of gunpowder, and the consortium behind the government will also be less angry, and everyone may be able to discuss business at the negotiating table.
It is precisely because of this new president who has not yet taken office that it will affect whether the alliance headed by him and the consortiums in the United States will directly fight, or whether they will calm down and sit down and talk.
So he had to meet with William and others, and this meeting was not represented by Dean and others. This time William and Little Jack will come in person, and others will not be absent.
This is the first time since the alliance was established that a group has attended a conference. Not to mention that the outcome of this meeting will affect the life and death of this alliance, but it may be a historic turning point.
