American Fortune Life

Seoul, the blue and black sky gradually revealed the fish belly, the dawn gradually deepened and the sky gradually stained red.

The smoky dark study, the light of the lamp stretched Li's figure in the boss's chair, hung up the phone, and sent Li a helpless sigh first.

Take up the glasses on the desk and put them on, the eyes filled with blood glitter with angry eyes, whether in face or spirit, very tired Li remembers the previous Andy Smith conversation, and the look on his face is a little relaxed.

With regard to the so-called uncle, Li had no respect, some only hatred, and since his mother had won the exchange of shares and the first sugar power battle, he had succeeded in sitting on the throne of the president of the Shijah Group, and his second uncle, who controlled the four-star group, had not stopped his repression of the CJ Group.

Even if this time he was charged with tax evasion and treachery, including legal and moral responsibility for resigning and losing the four-star chairman's throne, his hard-hearted third uncle Li Jianxi and his equally vicious son did not forget to throw dirty water at him to stop a very important merger and acquisition by CJ Group.

In fact, for Li Jianxi, everyone knew that even if he was convicted of these crimes, he would not be threatened, and even if he was convicted, he would not really go to jail unless the Korean government was really crazy.

But he was first investigated by Li, which is another matter, and was easily attacked by the Four-Star Li family, even if he was the president of CJ Group.

This time he was investigated and a possible takeover by Korea Express led to a sharp fall in the price of the Hijah Group, and there were indications that the price of the CJ had been missed.

Li had already fought back earlier, but in the shadow of the global financial crisis, the South Korean stock market was already deeply affected, and the big trend was falling. Even with a large number of repurchases, he could not alleviate the continuing downward trend.

Continued use of large amounts of cash will result in a shortage of M&A funds for Korea Express, and now Lee Jae-jung's bastard has released news that he will be joining the takeover bid for Korea Express, which will undoubtedly make the acquisition of CJ more difficult.

Li first needed good news to boost the CJ Group's share price, and needed funds to complete the acquisition of Korea Express. He had no confidence in his country's ability to become the CJ Group's treasury valves, because most treasury valves were inextricably related to the four stars, and it might not be friends that were introduced, but enemies.

Li first thought of Andy Smith, who had a strong background and strong financial resources. Although Andy's reputation was indeed a little debilitating and defensive, Li was not afraid of it at all.

Because he had absolute control over the CJ Group, more than 58 percent of the shares, and hardly had to worry about losing control of the Group, the American investment community said Andy Smith was a greedy wolf who would never feed, but he had no concerns about Lee first.

Andy Smith became an independent director of the CJ Group, and for him, Lee had only the advantages first, not the disadvantages, and he needed a strong and reliable ally, and only an ally with a claim to interests, to help him counter the hostility and oppression of the Four-Star Group.

Of course, he has to pay a certain price, like cheap preferred shares and equity, board seats...

However, these seemed worthwhile in Li's first view. Think of the second uncle's son who died in the tragic aftermath of suicide, his cousin Li Jae-chan, and he had to prepare for the battle...

In the South Bay Area of San Francisco, the lush, invincible mountain and sea views of the United States are golden in the sunset.

Andy called a think tank in New York and told them to sort out the CJ group, wash it out in the bathroom, put on his T-shirt shorts, walk into the study, turn on the computer, and wait for a video link.

In a previous call, Lee was very candid in not concealing the difficulties he now faces, and in introducing him to Andy Smith, an independent director, the advantages and inventories he hoped for.

And the only thing Andy regretted after listening to Li first was that the cj group had completely split from the four-star group system and become a stand-alone LI company. Otherwise, this would undoubtedly be a good opportunity to get involved in the four-star group system.

As for whether to offend the Four-Star Lee family, Andy never cared about it, and to be honest, if he was going to finish the last biggest harvest of the financial crisis, it would have been nailed on the board for him and Four-Star to become opponents.

He had no interest in resentment towards the family of the four-star group. Li threw the olive branch first, and he was happy to accept it in its entirety, selling eight percent of his shares and board seats at a lower price.

Ding--

Andy shook his mouse, clicked to accept the video connection request, and the video window on the black screen flashed down, showing an image of the Alvitra column.

“How's that?”

“The general information has been collated, and CJ Group is the largest food company in Korea, currently comprised mainly of CJ First Sugar, CJ Home Shopping, CJ Investment Securities, CJ Entertainment & & Media... 13 wholly-owned subsidiaries and listed subsidiaries.

Four major clusters have been formed, including the food and diet cluster, the biology and pharmaceuticals cluster, the new distribution cluster, and the entertainment and media cluster, as well as the infrastructure cluster currently being formed.

Formally separated from the Quaterstar Group in 1997, it began to expand globally in 2006, accelerating its expansion to become a global enterprise.

Last year, the Group had total sales of $5.4 billion and profits of $1.4 billion, the Group's total assets of $4.96 billion and its current market value of $3 billion.

Currently, there are three major shareholders of the CJ Group, the group president Li first accounted for 58% of the shares, the other two combined 15%, the secondary market accounted for 20% of the shares...

Global leader ranks 1861, the group is in the global expansion phase, think tank solidarity theory, cj group belongs to quality industrial assets, in favour of buying. ”

When I heard Al's report, Andy's eyes got brighter and his mouth curved louder, “Oh, it looks like Jen was really in a hurry this time. Since he was so generous, I had to vote for Peach Lee. Al, you set up a team, go one step ahead to the stick country, start contacting the CJ Group, and I'll be there, hopefully by then, all I have to do is sign and pay. ”

“Good boss. At present, the stock price of listed companies under Higgie's flag continues to decline and has been seriously underestimated. There are indications that there are suspicions of being pressured into time, and there is room for manipulation. You can copy and cooperate with the boss's affiliation options more often.” Al, it's time to make a suggestion.

“It's a good idea, let the pedestal team turn to Seoul. Take cover. I don't want to be targeted by the SEC of the stick country.” Andy touched his chin and nodded, not forgetting the word.

“Okay, I'll let them know right now... ”

Viewpoint video, Andy with a smile in the corner of his mouth, his eyes stitched, his fingers knocked quickly on the desktop, not knowing what he was counting.

“Ding-dong...”

Andy reached out and shook his mouse, clicked on the pop-up email icon, roughly browsed the material Li had sent first, hey two laughs, picked up his phone and dialed out.

“Jon, did the weekly division in Seoul trace the news gathering on the four-star group Lee Kensey?” Andy asked as he quickly looked at some of the black materials revealed this time by the head of his legal team by the four-star group, as well as some of the black materials Li had mastered earlier.

“ Well, yeah, well, I'm going to send you some material later, and you're going to do a cover page for Newsweek based on that material, highlighting Mr. Lee Jae-jung's assistance in transferring assets, as well as the lack of transparency and a highly weighted strategic planning office within the Four-Star Group. ”

Once Andy had communicated what he meant to Jon Micham, he emailed them the information he had viewed.

Thinking about Li's previous helpless laughter, Andy also had an intuitive understanding of the position and influence of Four Stars in the stick country. Even if this scandal caused domestic public opinion in the stick, in the stick country, Four Stars had long controlled the media industry, and the mainstream media in the stick country were avoiding heavy and light coverage in order to guide public opinion.

However, since Lee sent Andy a gift pack first, Andy certainly wouldn't have nothing to say. Since the son of a stick doesn't dare to report, let the father of the United States report.

Andy once again sacrificed more than five million copies of Newsweek, the big killer, as a gift to Lee's first ‘good friend'!
