Chapter 228 Blue House (2)

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 that it was for investment. It seems that this time The current financial crisis has hurt South Korea a lot, but those who are useless in the crisis can only suffer, and 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. Since the history of the whole world, no one has been on the throne of the world's richest man at such a young age. Mr. Li is truly unprecedented." At the banquet, the South Korean president praised Mr. Li for a while. .

"Mr. President is really boasting too much. 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 you will appear to be ignorant of etiquette.

"I am very pleased that Mr. Li can say that. We in South Korea also like Mr. Li to invest in South Korea." He showed his tail so soon, but it is 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 organized by Kim Yong Nam.

If the relationship between Lee Myung-bak and Kim Yong-nam is not very good in normal times, but it will never reach such a point, this time it can only be said that Kim Yong-nam is old and confused, and he has made an enemy for himself for no reason. It's a matter of a day or two, but the president can do it in minutes if he wants to trouble you. Although it can't make you hurt, some troubles are always troubles.

"I don't know what Mr. President can do for me if I invest in South Korea?" Li Cong gestured with a glass of wine. Now that I have made it so clear, I will ask clearly. If there is no profit, I am afraid I will not do it. , Is there anything in South Korea that you can invest in?

Li Mingbo did not answer, but winked with Li Cong. There are so many people here, it is really not easy to make such a deal. The two entered the presidential office next to them one after the other. I seem to have seen it somewhere, and I suddenly thought that some American movies will show the layout of the White House President’s Office. The layout here seems to be exactly the same as the White House. Will treat Americans like dogs.

After the guests and hosts sat down, Li Mingbo made Li Cong a cup of Tieguanyin made in China. He said that the high-level people in the world would like to drink Chinese Kung Fu tea. It seems that this is true.

"Mr. Li, to be frank, it is really hard for me to be the president of South Korea. Your biggest partner in South Korea, Mr. Jin Yongzhi, is going to organize congressmen to impeach me. It is in vain that I bought the National Petroleum Corporation for him. Running around, and now you are doing this to me.” Li Congzhi felt funny seeing the South Korean president’s painful experience, if it wasn’t for what you did that didn’t satisfy Jin Yongzhi, how could he not continue to use you.

Li Cong didn't say anything, and Li Mingbo didn't say anything about the benefits he gave him. He couldn't be so active at this time. For two people in a game, the one who moves first will always lose, or the one who suffers.

As far as the two people in the room are concerned, they each have their own needs. What Li Mingbo needs is Li Cong's investment in South Korea. Even if he just makes a small statement, he can make a big mark on his political achievements. , Some of the media under him also have a place to exaggerate. For Li Cong, he does not have the slightest social influence in South Korea. He needs the president to increase his influence for him. But in terms of subdivision, the president is more anxious After all, there are many people who can increase their influence, and there may not be many who invest or invest huge sums of money in South Korea.

"By the way, Mr. Li, last week our government passed a resolution to build a casino in Jeju Island. Gambling is prohibited in the Republic of Korea, but after our discussions in Jeju Island, we decided to release a gambling card. ,

I wonder if Mr. Li is interested in this? "Li Mingbo said slowly, as if this could raise his realm.

Open a casino? This is a lucrative business. Besides, my mountaintop restaurant is also expanding, which is also in line with my development strategy. Just look at the gambling king in Macau to see how profitable the casino is. Jeju Island in South Korea has always been the most popular tourist destination in South Korea. It is also very famous in the world, receiving millions of people from all over the world every year, this is my way of making money.

Although there are some underground casinos in various parts of South Korea, underground casinos are always out of reach. Some rich people still don’t like to go to such places where they can’t get on the table. They feel that they can’t show their wealth, so many rich people from all over the world will sit. Take a plane to Macau or Las Vegas to gamble, and it would be even better if it entered the Guinness Book of Records.

"Of course I am interested, Mr. President. I happen to be building a high-end entertainment city in China. If Mr. President can approve this project for me, I think I will invest in South Korea." Needless to say, I understand, just to make 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 which aspect Mr. Li will invest in?" , but Li Cong only gave a general vague investment intention. Politicians and businessmen need to be careful every step of the way, because both sides are people who eat people and don't spit out their bones.

Li Cong thought for a moment that there are really not many projects he can invest in South Korea. Don’t even think about the energy industry. It can only be a hotel and a home appliance chain monopoly. But South Korea is such a small place that there are two major groups, Samsung and LG. I'm afraid it's not appropriate to grab food here. I can't compete with others, so I can only leave hotels, but South Korea is such a big place, how many restaurants can it open? Although I thought so in my heart, things still had to be done. At worst, I would just throw money away. Anyway, after having that casino, I won’t be able to make a lot of money every day.

"Mr. President, you also know that my main industries are environmentally friendly oil and electricity, but I have to tell you the truth with regret. Neither of these two things can be brought to Korea. You can understand the reason without me telling you." Although I know it 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 Korea is convenient, I will invest in other industries." We will open 20 hot pot restaurants and three five-star hotels in various places in South Korea, and the investment of tens of billions of RMB will be enough, right?" Li Cong had already compressed the number to a minimum in his mind. Like the Chinese, opening a hot pot restaurant here may be a nonsense.

Hearing this, Li Mingbo immediately smiled on his face. The large investment order of tens of billions of yuan is also good. Although it is a little less than the amount I hoped for in my mind, but such a thing as investment requires people to be willing. I am It cannot be forced.

"Mr. Li, you also know that the resources of our Republic of Korea have always been insufficient." Insufficient? I don't think there is any at all, Li Cong thought to himself, I don't know what the president's plan is. "Some thermal power plants in our country import a large amount of coal from your country, which is troublesome and pollutes the environment. I wonder if your company can supply us with 100 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity every month, so that we can shut down the two most polluting thermal power plants. The power plant is broken, what do you mean?" It turned out to be the idea.

"You also know that my electricity sales are specially contracted to others." Li Cong showed embarrassment.

"Oh, but if the environment improves, my approval rating should be greatly improved." Li Mingbo showed an even more ugly face, "Well, I know that Hyundai Group has some shares in Mitsui Group, but I don't know that Mr. Li has Not interested?" These days, no one is like Lei Feng, and Li Cong also needs motivation to work.

Mitsui Group? Yes, it seems that this deal can be done.
