Chapter 799: Low Profile on the Surface

It was drizzling outside. After the plane landed, Yang Dongxu unbuckled his seat belt and stretched. He smiled politely at the stewardess who had flirted with him several times along the way. Then Du Fei picked up his luggage and followed behind him.

It was Li Fuzhen who came to pick him up, not Chen Xin. Looking at Li Fuzhen's latest blue Trident sports car, Du Fei tactfully called a taxi and got in with his luggage, while Yang Dongxu got into Li Fuzhen's car.

"When did you come back?" Yang Dongxu asked with a smile after getting into the car.

It has been almost half a year since I last saw Li Fuzhen. Although the two of them occasionally talked on the phone, they were both very busy. Li Fuzhen flew back to South Korea directly after a round of inspection in China. I don't know what she was doing in South Korea and she hasn't come back yet.

"Just came back the day before yesterday." Li Fuzhen glanced at the rearview mirror and started the car.

"You should have notified me earlier, so that I could come back earlier to pick you up. How long will you stay this time?" Yang Dongxu looked at Li Fuzhen and asked.

"Stay until the Spring Festival. I promised my father to go back for the Spring Festival. I have something to ask you." Li Fuzhen also turned her head to look at Yang Dongxu and their eyes met.

"What's the matter?" Yang Dongxu asked casually.

"How many Samsung shares do you have?" Li Fuzhen stared at Yang Dongxu.

"Look at the road ahead. We are all busy at the end of the year and don't want to accompany you to the hospital." Yang Dongxu stretched out his hand to pinch Li Fuzhen's chin, turned her face and asked her to drive carefully: "The shares are 7.6%, half of which are in Softbank's hands, and the rest are scattered in my foreign investment companies. Have you encountered any problems? Do you want to use these shares to increase your chips?"

"No, I just asked casually." Li Fuzhen, who had a calm face, smiled.

Yang Dongxu turned his head to look at Li Fuzhen, and for a moment he didn't understand what this woman was thinking.

What was Li Fuzhen thinking? Naturally, he wanted to confirm whether the shares in Yang Dongxu's hands were consistent with the number his father told him after he went back this time.

As a result, the number Yang Dongxu said was actually greater than what her father said, proving that Yang Dongxu did not lie to her, so she was satisfied and there was nothing else to do.

As for Yang Dongxu's previous taking advantage of the fire to hold shares in Samsung, she did not feel that there was anything wrong. Although Samsung now belongs to the Lee family, the Lee family also firmly maintains the management of Samsung.

But Samsung is not owned by the Lee family alone, and even the Lee family's share of Samsung's shares has reached the lowest 30% in history. Among them, except for a part of the shares held by some domestic consortiums, more than half of the remaining shares are in the hands of foreigners.

These foreigners account for the vast majority in the United States, there are also several shareholders in Europe, and even two small shareholders in Japan. So since there are already so many non-Lee family shareholders, one more Yang Dongxu is not too much, and one less for him.

What's more, after the financial crisis, it seems that part of Samsung's shares have been split off from the Lee family, but the Lee family also took the opportunity to reap a wave of other assets.

On the surface, the Lee family's ceding of Samsung shares to cope with the financial crisis seems to be a way to survive, but in fact, the Lee family's assets have not decreased, but have increased in the dark.

These increased parts belong entirely to the Lee family, and have nothing to do with Samsung, let alone the shareholders of Samsung. So, although the Lee family's shares in Samsung have decreased, they have made more money.

"Does your father want you to return to Korea?" Yang Dongxu didn't care whether the Lee family made money or lost money during the financial crisis, but he cared about why the helmsman of Samsung mentioned the shares to Lee Fuzhen, whether he was trying to sow discord between the two, or if there was another hidden story.

"I mentioned it." Lee Fuzhen said lightly, "But I refused. Although South Korea has a developed economy and I have strong resources to invest in South Korea, South Korea is too small, so there are great limitations. The mainland market is more promising than the Korean market.

However, the real economy investment in South Korea is somewhat restricted due to geographical reasons, but the investment in the entertainment industry is very good. BS has been doing well recently. Did you know that its assets have doubled this year compared to last year?"

"I know a little." Yang Dongxu nodded.

Although it has been committed to exporting various entertainment products to South Korea from the beginning, starting from Hong Kong and Taiwan, and then the mainland film and television bureaus and celebrities followed suit, various movies, TV series and concerts, Haina can harvest a large wave of leeks from South Korea every year.

But compared with South Korea's increasingly relaxed entertainment industry policies, there are still too many restrictions in the mainland. And there is a talent gap in the Hong Kong entertainment industry. Although it is still glorious now, it is already a sunset near dusk. So the rise of the Korean entertainment industry has ushered in an excellent opportunity.

For this point, Yang Dongxu thought about pulling his legs, but then he gave up the idea. From the development trend alone, the rise of Korean entertainment is inevitable, and it is not something he can stop by pulling his legs.

So since it is impossible to go against the trend, then push it forward. Anyway, he has shares in several major Korean TV stations and BS Entertainment, which is currently the leading company in South Korea, especially BS Entertainment, where he is a major shareholder.

From the perspective of income alone, the better the Korean entertainment market develops, the more beneficial it is to him, and he earns sufficient profits every year.

"Girls' Generation is running out of steam. I had a meeting with BS executives in Korea, and some management proposed a plan to create stars in large quantities. What do you think?" Lee Boo-jin asked.

"A senior executive called me to discuss this before. This proposal is good and is in line with the current development trend of Korean entertainment." Yang Dongxu said. Even without much promotion, Korea still went down the old road of star-making, and then it started to gallop like an engine was installed and it was out of control.

Although Girls' Generation is a little lacking in stamina now, they are extremely lucky. Looking at the star-making road of Korean entertainment, the replacement of one generation of versions and one generation of gods is extremely fast.

Many groups and stars that seemed to be popular at first will soon be drowned in the vast sea of ​​people when the new generation of main stars comes out.

A drama makes one or several idol stars popular, and then starts to harvest leeks while the heat is on. The leeks of this wave of idol stars are almost harvested, and a new wave of idol traffic stars are brought out again to continue harvesting leeks, and so on.

Whether it is seen from TV or from the news, the politeness and humility of the new generation of idol stars to their predecessors are actually illusions.

Because the seniors were beaten to death on the beach by them, only a few people stood out with luck and strength, which made the newcomers continue to be humble. Most of the seniors were robbed of their jobs by the newcomers and became poor.

Therefore, financial management has become more and more important in the Korean entertainment industry. After all, after embarking on the road of star-making, it is not certain that a star who can stand out will continue to stay in the spotlight for several generations. Most of them disappear after making a wave of money.

Therefore, how to manage money when making money will become more and more the focus of the new generation of stars, so Yang Dongxu suddenly had an idea in his mind, whether to set up an investment company in Korea.

As a major shareholder of BS, the leeks harvested by a wave of traffic stars have all entered his pocket, and then the money flowing into the pockets of these traffic stars will be absorbed for investment, so that this wave of leeks can be eaten cleanly.

"What are you thinking about?" Li Fuzhen interrupted Yang Dongxu's contemplation.

"Ah? Nothing, thinking about the company." Yang Dongxu smiled.

Li Fuzhen looked at him in confusion. She always felt that Yang Dongxu, who was in a daze, had the aura of a weasel who stole chickens.

"Xinghai plans to open three branches next year, in Yanjing, Shanghai and Guangzhou. What do you think?" After looking at Yang Dongxu in confusion, Li Fuzhen did not get too entangled but talked about business.

"Lack of funds?" Yang Dongxu asked.

"Not really. With Xinghai's current capital, we can get a lot of low-interest or even interest-free loans from banks." Li Fuzhen said.

"Then continue to invest according to the current share ratio, or it doesn't matter if I have more or less." Yang Dongxu said indifferently.

"My family is also optimistic about the mainland market and wants to increase investment." Li Fuzhen hesitated and said.

"They want to invest in Xinghai?" Yang Dongxu raised his eyebrows.

He didn't care much about the shares between him and Li Fuzhen, although the two had no substantial relationship. But she believed that Li Fuzhen would not cheat herself, but it would be different if the Li family joined in, even if they were Li Fuzhen's relatives.

"That's the intention, but it's not just that. My eldest sister is the vice president of Samsung's clothing company, Cheil Textile, and she wants to cooperate with Huaxiu. There are also the automotive and electronics fields." Li Fuzhen said everything after she opened her mouth.

She once served as an emergency rescuer for Yang Dongxu to clean up the internal termites in the company, so she has a general understanding of Yang Dongxu's domestic assets.

The companies that Yang Dongxu is running now seem to be messy and chaotic on the surface, as if he wants to get involved in everything. But if you combine all these companies together, you will find that these seemingly messy companies are very much like the prototype of a large consortium.

For example, except for the heavy industry field, which Yang Dongxu did not participate in due to mainland policy reasons, his industries overlap with many industries in Samsung, such as automobiles, electronics, hotels, catering, tourism, etc.

Even in the heavy industry that he could not directly participate in, Yang Dongxu also played a marginal ball to participate, such as the China-Russia weather and oil pipeline, in which he has a part of the dry shares.

For example, he could not participate in aircraft production, but he had already used the airport and airlines in Sanwan to enter the mainland's aviation field. So although Yang Dongxu is usually low-key, you will find that he is a very ambitious guy when you combine these companies.

"Samsung is preparing to enter the mainland in an all-round way?" Yang Dongxu is not opposed to foreign investment in the mainland. If the domestic economy wants to develop, it must rely on a lot of foreign investment. Its own development is too slow, and the technical reserves alone cannot be solved in a short time.

So if Samsung wants to cooperate with him to enter the mainland market, he will naturally be happy to see it happen as long as the other party does not treat him like a monkey in terms of profit distribution and technical investment.

"Not only Samsung, but also the Li family." Li Fuzhen said.

Yang Dongxu was stunned for a moment and looked at her in surprise.
