Chapter 1122 1108 [Holding the Power]

In the following days——

Du Yongxiao held the largest shareholder meeting in the history of Samsung Group according to his largest shareholding in Samsung Group.

At the meeting, in addition to planning the future development route of Samsung Group, such as continuing to work hard in semiconductor electronics and chemical industry, Du Yongxiao also wanted to invest in Samsung Communications, Samsung Entertainment and Samsung Tourism.

This proposal was intensely discussed at the meeting and finally approved by Du Yongxiao himself.

Everyone had no confidence in Samsung Entertainment and Samsung Tourism, but Du Yongxiao's arbitrary behavior impressed everyone.

The second resolution of the meeting was the selection of the future chairman of Samsung Group.

Everyone speculated that Du Yongxiao wanted to remove the current chairman Lee Byung-chul to clear the obstacles for his favorite Lee Jianxi.

The fact is that Du Yongxiao did recommend Lee Jianxi as the next chairman of Samsung Group, but did not remove Lee Byung-chul. Instead, he encouraged Lee Byung-chul to continue working and encouraged him with the Chinese poem "Old horse in the stable has ambitions of thousands of miles".

This scene made everyone dumbfounded.

Many people thought that this shareholders' meeting was Lee Byung-chul's last glory, so many people began to flatter and insult Lee Byung-chul, the old chairman, but they didn't expect that Lee Byung-chul would stand firm.

After Du Yongxiao made his suggestion, Lee Byung-chul immediately stood up and cooperated with the speech. He first thanked Du Yongxiao for his trust and encouragement, and then expressed that he would fight for Samsung until the last minute.

Finally, Lee Byung-chul reviewed the founding of Samsung Group and told everyone that Samsung Group will be an international group in the future, not a group belonging to a certain family or a certain country.

This sentence obviously has a hidden meaning.

Many shareholders who like to think heard something. With such a good fit with Du Yongxiao's Chinese identity, the future route of Samsung Group may really be an international route.

Except for the eldest son of the Lee family, Lee Chang-hee, and the second son, Lee Meng-hee, who were relatively disappointed, there was almost no impact on others at this meeting.

Some people were even very happy to get a promotion and a raise, such as the semiconductor godfather who was extremely trusted by Du Yongxiao-Kim Jong-ki.

This researcher who was originally marginalized in Samsung Electronics, who did not know how to curry favor with others and only knew how to develop research, was directly appointed by Du Yongxiao as the director of the R&D department of Samsung Electronics, responsible for all semiconductor R&D work, and these R&D results were only responsible to Du Yongxiao. In other words, Kim Jong-ki only needs to be loyal to Du Yongxiao in the future, and does not need to look at anyone's face.

And Du Yongxiao is the only person in the entire Samsung Electronics who has semiconductor R&D technology.

Du Yongxiao's decision shows that he is thirsty for talent, and also attracts more technical talents in South Korea to join Du Yongxiao.

Du Yongxiao accepted them one by one, and two of them were questionable in terms of character. Many senior executives opposed it because one was greedy for money and the other was lustful. Samsung Electronics needs people with high character to take office.

Du Yongxiao's answer was that no one is perfect, and technology comes first.

In addition, Du Yongxiao is also preparing to appoint Lee Soo-man, a famous Korean singer and producer who he has just met, as the president of Samsung Entertainment, and promised to give him shares to let him join the board of directors of Samsung Group as a director. This is another amazing news.

The "gift" here is tricky. It is a gift to the outside world, but it is a sword of imperial power lent to Lee Soo Man by Du Yongxiao in order to give him enough power to establish Samsung Entertainment. Du Yongxiao can take it back at any time.

As for whether Lee Soo Man can really get Samsung shares in the future, it depends on whether the Samsung Entertainment he founded can become a profitable company.

In response, Lee Soo Man showed his general style, thanked Du Yongxiao for his trust, and told the entertainment industry that the first female artist signed by Samsung Electronics was Miss Kim Sun Ah.

Kim Sun Ah?

She never dreamed that she would suddenly realize her dream of becoming a star.

This proud child of Seoul University dreamed of taking the bar exam and becoming a prosecutor or a barrister, but she didn't expect Du Yongxiao to give her a new truth, to be a star.

Kim Sun Ah hesitated at first, until Lee Soo Man told her that being a star was not inconsistent with her future outline. If she wanted, she could choose to continue taking the bar exam after becoming a big star and become the person she wanted to be. The reason why she was announced as a star staff member signed by Samsung Entertainment was mainly to gain a gimmick.

After all, the identity of a college student in Seoul in this era is a selling point in itself.

As for the big star that Lee Soo-man wants to cultivate in the future, it is the little girl Deok-sun that Du Yongxiao and Kim Sun-ah know.

Deok-sun's beautiful voice has already conquered Lee Soo-man, and Deok-sun is young, like a blank sheet of paper, and has stronger plasticity.

After the Samsung shareholders' meeting---

The entire Samsung Group began to take comprehensive actions and develop according to the "international route" formulated by Du Yongxiao.

No longer excluding foreign personnel from joining and participating in the development and management of the Samsung Group, the entire Samsung Group has suddenly changed from a very primitive family business to a fashionable one, becoming the first large international company.

And this huge change in the Samsung Group has stunned the Korean people.

In the past, many democrats criticized the hereditary system of the Samsung Group and its stubbornness.

Now they feel something is wrong, but they can't say it. They just vaguely feel that the current Samsung is no longer their Samsung in South Korea.

...

The huge changes in Samsung have made the Hyundai Group, which is on par with Samsung and even surpassed Samsung for a period of time, anxious.

As a family business, the Hyundai Group has always inherited the hereditary system.

As the chairman of the current Hyundai Group, Chung Ju-yung saw some clues from the reorganization of Samsung. The question now is whether he will take the initiative to propose to hold a shareholders' meeting to discuss the future development path of Hyundai Group with Du Yongxiao, or wait for Du Yongxiao to take the initiative to promote it.

From the perspective of Chung Ju-yung, he is unwilling to reorganize. The power in his hands is not yet warm, and he is unwilling to give up easily.

So Chung Ju-yung plans to play dumb and continue quietly. As long as Du Yongxiao doesn't say it, he won't mention it.

But his not mentioning it doesn't mean that others won't mention it.

That person is Li Mingbai, who was recommended by Du Yongxiao to serve as one of the executives of Hyundai Group.

Li Mingbai used to be a capable general under Chung Ju-yung of Hyundai Group. Unfortunately, Chung Ju-yung's family concept is too strong. For the sake of his son, he expelled Li Mingbai, a poor boy, and made Li Mingbai fall from the clouds to the mud.

Li Mingbai is a talent. He originally wanted to take advantage of Hyundai Group to spread his wings and fly, thinking that Chung Ju-yung was a person who could entrust his ideals.

Unfortunately, the ideal is too full and the reality is too skinny.

Chung Ju-yung fired him to let him see everything clearly.

A poor boy will never be able to challenge the deep-rooted family power in South Korea.

Just when Li Mingbai was discouraged, he met Du Yongxiao.

Du Yongxiao had a keen eye for talent and not only let him re-enter the Hyundai Group, but also let him take a higher position than before.

All that Du Yongxiao did made Li Mingbai grateful, and he also regarded Du Yongxiao as his only master, and he would follow Du Yongxiao to the death no matter what Du Yongxiao did.

This time Du Yongxiao started to reform Samsung, but did nothing to Hyundai.

Others did not understand, but Li Mingbai knew it very well.

So he took the initiative to draw up a list of members for the internal reorganization of the Hyundai Group and put it forward at the regular meeting of the Hyundai Group.

The regular meeting of the Hyundai Group usually starts at 8 o'clock in the morning and ends at 9 o'clock at the latest, which does not affect everyone's work.

As the largest shareholder of the group now, Du Yongxiao has never attended the regular meeting, and even if he occasionally attends, it is by invitation.

For example, this time.

The appearance of Du Yongxiao during the meeting made some smart people feel that "the storm is coming" and began to whisper below.

Hyundai Chairman Chung Ju-yung was also worried when he saw Du Yongxiao appear.

Then Li Mingbai started his own magic operation.

He proposed a motion at the meeting to reorganize the internal structure of Hyundai Group, on the grounds that the structure was outdated and the staff was redundant. The motion he put forward was to streamline the administration and implement the director responsibility system. Previously, 28 managers of the company competed for eight director positions, and among these eight directors, there were two important positions of chairman and vice chairman.

According to tradition, the chairman will be served by Hyundai Group Chairman Chung Ju-yung. There should have been two vice chairmen, but only one was retained this time, and the power of this vice chairman has undoubtedly become extremely heavy. He is the real second person in the management, under the top leader, and above all directors.

No mistakes in one song, one post, one content, one content, one 6, one 9, one book, one bar, one look!

As for the election of the vice chairman this time, who will be the winner, whether it is Chung Ju-yung's direct personnel or Du Yongxiao, an outsider, probably no one can give a clear answer.

In fact, within the Hyundai Group, the most pro-Chung Ju-yung direct personnel are still there. Du Yongxiao is an outsider after all. Although he has absolute shares and can designate candidates, he also has to take into account his face and the election rules of the Hyundai Group. He cannot act arbitrarily in front of everyone.

Therefore, if it is really recommended through election, the position of vice chairman should still be Chung Ju-yung's people. And Chung Ju-yung has already had a candidate, that is, his son Chung Mong-koo.

The father is the chairman,

and the son is the vice chairman,

how natural it is!

At this time, Chung Ju-yung has a winning ticket. In the group management, which senior executive does not have the word "Zheng" engraved on his forehead?

Soon, the list of recommended personnel for the vice chairman was drawn up, and the list was jointly drawn up by Du Yongxiao and Chung Ju-yung.

Looking at the list, Chung Ju-yung's eyes were a little erratic. There were seven people on it, but there were only two who were really competitive, his son Chung Mong-koo and Du Yongxiao's loyal subordinate Li Mingbai.

If the normal voting procedure was followed, Chung Ju-yung believed that his son Chung Mong-koo's name would not be difficult to pass, but looking at Du Yongxiao who was sitting next to him and silently flipping through the documents, Chung Ju-yung suddenly felt a little uncertain.

Will Du Yongxiao really wave his hand and let it go smoothly?

While Chung Ju-yung was thinking about it, Du Yongxiao smiled and turned to the directors who participated in the election, saying with a smile: "Everyone should work hard, everyone has a chance."

Cheng Ju-yung also glanced at the directors, except for one of the directors named Li who was not easy to get along with. He always gave people the feeling of self-admiration. Since joining Hyundai Group, neither his son Chung Mong-koo nor Chung Ju-yung himself has been able to establish a close relationship with him.

But this director Li is not a fuel-saving lamp. He is also a major shareholder of Hyundai Group and does not need to look at anyone's face.

In addition, this person is very decisive in his work. During the Spring Festival, he investigated the head of the human resources department of the Hyundai Group without reporting to his superiors, which implicated a large number of senior executives, making Chung Ju-yung very angry. On the surface, he praised Director Lee for doing the right thing and believed that the group's parasites should be found out, but secretly he was very dissatisfied with Director Lee's autocratic work style, which made the work of Chung Ju-yung and other senior executives very passive.

It can be said that this Director Li gave Chung Ju-yung a headache. He was stubborn and it was obviously unrealistic to want to get closer to him. He might catch you in a fight and cause some trouble. Most people would stay away from such a black-faced person.

After drinking a sip of tea, Chung Ju-yung thought for a long time. This time the showdown was between his son Chung Mong-koo and Du Yongxiao's follower Li Mingbai. Director Li was also cannon fodder, or a foil, not worth mentioning.

There were thirteen people in charge of voting, ten of whom had a good relationship with him, so he was sure to win.

Chung Ju-yung glanced at Du Yongxiao quietly, picked up the teacup and drank water, thinking about what Du Yongxiao was thinking at the moment, thinking about how Du Yongxiao would refute him, and how he should respond.

All the details must be considered clearly. Today's reorganization meeting was too important and there was no room for any mistakes.

Chung Ju-yung was full of vigilance and even a little fearful of Du Yongxiao's arrival.

Although Du Yongxiao did not intervene in Hyundai Group as much as he did in Samsung, as the largest shareholder of Hyundai Group, the power he possessed made Chung Ju-yung really fearful.

The quieter Du Yongxiao is now, the more worried Chung Ju-yung is.

After all, Samsung Group is a lesson learned. At the beginning, Du Yongxiao invaded the original circle system alone, and in less than a few months, Samsung Group completely changed its flag. Moreover, this flag change was silent and gradual. When you suddenly realize it, you will find that the situation is over.

This is also the strength of Du Yongxiao. He never destroys the original power system in a certain place, causing bloodshed and complaints. It is a kind of power erosion.

Old foxes like Samsung's Lee Byung-chul have suffered at the hands of Du Yongxiao, which shows how powerful he is.

Just when Chung Ju-yung was about to urge the election to start soon, Li Mingbai, who had just submitted the resolution document for the reorganization structure, stepped forward again and handed a document to Chung Ju-yung, saying, "Mr. Chairman, here is another document for you to review!" He spoke very politely.

Although Chung Ju-yung felt a little disgusted, he still nodded, took it and opened the document, glanced at it, and his face gradually changed, and he looked at it carefully.

For about five or six minutes, seeing that Chairman Chung Ju-yung's face was as heavy as water, the atmosphere in the conference room became solemn, and some senior staff who were originally exchanging opinions in a low voice slowly sat up straight.

Du Yongxiao had been silently looking through the list in his hand.

Chung Ju-yung became more and more flustered as he looked at the document in his hand. He knew every word on it, and because of knowing it, he knew how heavy this document was.

This document is a complete collection of black materials!

It lists various scandals of five of the seven people who will participate in the vice chairman election.

Among them were his son Chung Mong-koo. The only ones without scandals or black material were Lee Myung-pak and the director Lee.

Chung Ju-yung didn't know where Lee Myung-pak got so much black material from, and handed it to him at this time, obviously making a deal with him.

Thinking of this, Chung Ju-yung's heart was in a mess, and his confidence just now was swept away. He even began to regret that he shouldn't have proposed the election.

Seeing his father's gloomy face, his son Chung Mong-koo didn't know what happened. He was still waiting for his father to urge the election to start, so he looked at his father and asked what happened?

Chung Ju-yung handed over the document that Lee Myung-pak sent to him with an expressionless face, and said in a deep voice: "Take a look!"

Chung Mong-koo was slightly startled, picked up the document and looked through it, and his face changed immediately.

"No, no, no, it's not like that, father, listen to my explanation!" Chung Mong-koo said anxiously.

"Shut up! There is no father of so-and-so here, only the president and the chairman!" Chung Ju-yung scolded.

The people around looked at the father and son, looking at each other, not understanding what happened.
