Chapter 415 Code of Conduct for Chaebols
After the conversation was divided, Chen Daojun and Xu Minying also began to investigate Yazhen Automobile.
Xu Minying was still just a rookie at this time, and asked with a curious look on her face: "But the acquisition has not been carried out yet, what evidence can we find like this?"
Chen Daojun did not answer, but asked: "Do you know how much acquisition funds Shunyang Group and Samsung Group have prepared to compete for Yazhen Automobile this time?"
Xu Minying shook her head in confusion.
"Shunyang Group has prepared at least US$500 million, and Samsung Group may be even more."
This number really shocked Xu Minying, and her eyes briefly became dull.
Chen Daojun couldn't help but sigh when he saw this. If he heard about such a large amount of funds in his previous life, he would probably be like her, right?
"With such a large amount of money, do you think just a few senior executives of Yazhen Automobile can afford it?"
Xu Minying's heart trembled when she heard this. Yes, who wouldn't want to take a few bites of such a piece of fat? It would give the senior executives of Yazhen Automobile a hundred courages, but they wouldn't dare to swallow it all. There must be someone behind this.
"Then what should we do next?" Xu Minying asked.
Chen Daojun rolled down the window and pointed to the hotel across the street: "This is the hotel where the financial officials who handled the bankruptcy of Yazhen Automobile stayed. I remember you had an internship here before, right?"
"How do you know I have interned here?" Xu Minying asked suspiciously.
"Ahem." Chen Daojun realized that he had spilled the beans and quickly turned away: "I also heard what others said. Do you have any close friends during your internship who can enter the guest room?"
Seeing Xu Minying's delay in responding, Chen Daojun said helplessly: "No? It seems that you can only buy it with money."
"Yes, yes, I'll call her right now." Xu Minying blushed, lowered her head, took out her cell phone and dialed a number to cover up her red cheeks.
Not long after, a sweet-looking girl walked out of the hotel.
Xu Minying whispered to the other party for a while. The girl seemed a little hesitant. Chen Daojun quickly added: "After this incident, I will not only give you a sum of money, but also arrange a new job for you. It will definitely be better than the current job." .”
"Don't worry, he will definitely do what he promised. The hotel you work in is their family's property." Xu Minying saw that the girl was still hesitant, so she directly revealed Chen Daojun's identity.
The girl opened her mouth in surprise when she heard this: "You are from Shunyang Group."
Chen Daojun had no choice but to report his family status, and the girl agreed to cooperate.
"Later, I will install a small camera in the flower basket. You only need to put several flower baskets into the corresponding rooms."
After Chen Daojun made the arrangements, he also opened a room on the same floor of the hotel. Just when Xu Minying felt embarrassed about being alone in the same room with a man and a woman, there was a knock on the door. After Chen Daojun opened the door, several people appeared. A man in a suit walked in carrying a suitcase.
Then she began to arrange various machines that she couldn't even name.
"Boss, it's done." A man in a suit plugged a machine's cable into the TV, and soon the surveillance picture appeared on the screen.
Director Chen nodded with satisfaction: "Save all the videos."
"yes."
Xu Minying looked at Chen Daojun, who had a serious look on his face, and suddenly realized that this young grandson of a chaebol family was really completely different from the playboys she had seen.
After several days of squatting, when Chen Daojun and Xu Minying were both suffering from red eyes and nervous breakdown, an old man in his fifties suddenly appeared on the screen, which made Chen Daojun immediately energetic.
"Minying, wake up quickly, there's something going on!"
"What?"
Xu Minying was still confused when she was woken up, until she heard the conversation between the two, she immediately sat up straight with excitement.
The old man is the chairman of Yazhen Automobile, and the person who is conspiring with him is the financial official who handled the bankruptcy of Yazhen Automobile this time.
In the brief conversation between the two, the cake after the sale of Yazhen's car was completely divided.
"These worms!" Chen Daojun slammed the table angrily. When he thought that his father's severance package had been stolen and his mother died, he wanted to rush to the opposite side and beat them up.
Xu Minying was also filled with indignation and shouted: "The country is what it is now because of these worms!"
However, after Chen Daojun gradually calmed down, he discovered a thorny problem. If this video was handed over to the relevant departments, maybe the financial official's trust relationship would make the matter less serious. Over the years, he has been smoothing the matter of mutual protection between officials. We also see a lot of foreign groups.
There is only one way to prevent those officials from pushing back, and that is to expose them and let public opinion supervise those officials.
However, ordinary news media would not dare to broadcast this kind of collusion between officials and businessmen.
After thinking for a long time, Chen Daojun found that the person who could help him was his cousin.
For this cousin, Chen Daojun always has an inexplicable feeling. On the one hand, there is no existence of the other person in his memory of the past life, and the other party seems to appear out of thin air. On the other hand, after dealing with him so many times, he seems to be always being manipulated. of that.
"What's wrong with you? You don't seem happy?" Xu Minying asked with concern when Chen Daojun suddenly fell silent.
Chen Daojun shook his head: "It's nothing. I was thinking about how to bring these bugs to justice."
"oh."
Qin Hao looked at the video that Chen Daojun brought and remained silent, which made Chen Daojun's heart skip a beat.
After a while, Qin Hao said to Chen Daojun: "Put the video here with me first, and I will take care of it."
However, Chen Daojun was still worried and asked: "Won't it be exposed immediately?"
Qin Hao looked at Chen Daojun's harmless face and suddenly smiled: "You are studying law. Don't you know that most criminal acts do not need to be held legally responsible before they are committed? They are completely You can push it all away, and at the worst, a few financial officials will take over, and you will have to divide it how you want it to be divided afterwards."
Chen Daojun was embarrassed. Of course he knew this common sense, but he was confused when he cared about it, and he lost his bearings for a moment.
"So, you plan to wait until the acquisition is completed before releasing the video?" Chen Daojun asked.
Qin Hao nodded: "Yes, as long as the acquisition is completed, it will become an established fact in the eyes of the people, and this video will be enough to get rid of this nest of rats."
Upon hearing this, Chen Daojun not only sighed that he had found the right person this time, but he still asked curiously: "Why are you willing to help me?"
Qin Hao looked at Daojun Chen with interest and asked with a smile: "So, in your eyes, I am also the kind of profiteer who doesn't care about the life and death of ordinary people and only cares about his own enjoyment?"
"I didn't think so." Chen Daojun tried to hide his guilt with a smile.
Qin Hao spread his hands indifferently: "It doesn't matter, let's put it this way, if I buy Yazhen Automobile in the future and pay real money, the workers of Yazhen Automobile will not receive compensation. In the end, their The finger of blame will definitely be pointed at me, and they will feel that I took away their work and did not compensate them, which is not in my interest."
"And if I expose the video and recover the compensation for these workers that would otherwise have been hacked, when I recruit employees again after the restructuring of Yazhen Automobile is completed, they will naturally be willing to come back to work."
"As a businessman, you have to do things that benefit yourself at the expense of others. Only fools do things that harm others and benefit yourself. Why not do things that benefit yourself and help others at the same time? This is my code of conduct, so do you understand?"
Chen Daojun opened his mouth, but swallowed his words back. Although he did not agree with some of the other party's views, he had to admit that this might be the way for the chaebols in Goryeo society to survive.
After sending Chen Daojun away, Qin Hao directly stuffed the video into the safe without making any announcement. If he loses to Shunyang Group in the bidding a week later, this will be his trump card to fight back.
As for the fair competition agreed with the old man, it seems that this is not the principle of fair competition, right? If this video falls into the hands of the old man, he will definitely make the same plan.
Of course, Qin Hao will not put all his hopes on a video. If he can defeat Shunyang Group in an honest and fair manner, the image of Samsung Group in the eyes of the Korean people will be greatly improved.
A week passed quietly in the blink of an eye, and the bidding of Yazhen Automobile also attracted the attention of all walks of life. On the one hand, it is related to the livelihood of tens of thousands of employees of Yazhen Automobile. On the other hand, the head-on confrontation between the chaebol grandfather and the chaebol grandson is not as good as those frivolous... Is the Korean drama about business war exciting?
The car Qin Hao was riding in slowly drove into the Yazhen Automobile headquarters building. The location of this bidding was also to appease the employees. However, the employees outside did not know that their severance pay had not been paid yet. People are watching.
As soon as he got off the car, Qin Hao heard many Yazhen Auto employees shouting: "Protect Yazhen Auto, we have to work!"
Many employees were very excited. If there were no guardrails and police blocking them, those employees would have rushed to Qin Hao and pointed at his nose and sprayed wildly.
"Boss, let's go in first." Bodyguards guarded Qin Hao on both sides.
"Um."
As soon as Qin Hao led Wu Shixian and his entourage into the conference room, the president of Yazhen Auto stood up with a group of senior executives to greet him, with smiles on his face. He was probably already thinking about how to divide the money in Qin Hao's pocket.
Qin Hao sneered in his heart: Smile, you will cry sometimes.
Not long after, there was a sound of footsteps outside the conference room, and Chen Yangzhe also arrived with people from Shunyang Group.
Qin Hao stepped forward and greeted Chen Yangzhe with a smile: "Grandpa."
But as soon as he opened his mouth, he was interrupted by Chen Yangzhe raising his hand: "There are no fathers and sons in the mall, President Chen Haojun, let's get started."
After saying that, Chen Yangzhe sat down on his seat. Qin Hao shook his head helplessly. This old man was really angry.
Chen Yongji also walked directly past Qin Hao without even looking at him. Chen Dongji glared at Qin Hao, seeming to blame him for not paying him any dividends.
After Qin Hao sat down again, the bidding between the two parties officially began.
Shunyang Group took the lead in offering a purchase price of US$400 million. Wu Shixian subconsciously looked at Qin Hao, but Qin Hao gave him a look that said: It's up to you.
"$410 million!"
"$420 million!"
Chen Yongji of Shunyang Group was already sweating on his forehead because of the gradually rising purchase price, while Qin Hao was so bored that he yawned. When Chen Yongji raised the price to 500 million U.S. dollars, Wu Shixian was about to continue to increase the price, but was stopped by Qin Hao. stop.
"Six hundred million dollars!"
As soon as this price came out, the executives of Yazhen Auto were naturally overjoyed. According to their expectations, the final transaction price could reach US$500 million, which was an unexpected surprise. As a result, the young chairman of Samsung Group... Directly shouted out the offer of US$600 million.
However, Shunyang Group was in chaos because this offer had reached the edge of their cash threshold.
Chen Yongji pulled the tie around his neck, trying to relieve the heat in his chest. He even once suspected that his key information had been leaked, and the first suspect was naturally his younger brother Chen Dongji.
When Chen Dongji saw his elder brother looking at him like this, he was frightened and was about to give the old man a look that said: It's not me, I don't have it.
However, at this moment, the old man directly raised his hand and quoted a price that shocked everyone present.
"Six hundred and fifty million dollars!"
Chen Yongji's eyes widened and he wanted to hold the old man's hand, but the old man glared at him. In an instant, Chen Yongji gave up and could only pretend to be angry and ask the waiter to change the water for the old man.
There was also a commotion on the Samsung Group side. Although the old man's quotation had not reached the limit they had previously negotiated, it was not far behind. Wu Shixian did not make another quotation for a while, but turned his attention to Qin Hao.
"Six hundred and eighty million US dollars." Faced with the old man's strong offer, Qin Hao directly raised the offer by another US$30 million.
Suddenly, there was another chaos in the conference room. This time, it was Chen Dongji's turn. He couldn't bear it any longer and looked at Chen Yangzhe with an almost pleading look. The original US$650 million was already beyond their ability to pay. If it went up any more, He shouted, but he really wanted to sell his business. Originally, he did not agree with continuing to throw money into the automobile industry.
Shunyang Automobile is still half-dead after so many years. Even if it is sold, it will be sold to save money.
Chen Yangzhe ignored his second son's gaze and looked at his second grandson.
After a long time, Chen Yangzhe suddenly stood up and left the conference room without saying a word.
Chen Yongji glared at Qin Hao unwillingly and could only follow him. Chen Dongji secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thankful that the old man still retained his sense after all.
Samsung's team has already begun to celebrate. Although the price is not low, it has finally achieved the set goal.
Subsequently, the two parties began to sign the acquisition contract. The previous conditions had been negotiated, and the contract only needed to be filled in with the corresponding amount.
Qin Hao couldn't help but sneer in his heart when he saw the executives of Yazhen Automobile cheering for joy.
"We'll see if you can still laugh then."
