My 1999

The only obstacle is money.

$17.5 billion in debt, but $9 billion in asset value.

Xu Liang is now trying to sell iron, but he can't fill the big hole in Hynix.

As for Hanhua, even if it raises funds, it will not be able to get so much money.

“I thought I already had a lot of money, but when I used it I realized I was still a pauper.”

After reading it several times in a row, Xu Liang reluctantly closed the web page.

But after thinking about it, I quickly opened it and added the webpage to my favorites.

He picked up the phone on the table and called Lu Hui.

"Mr. Xu?"

"In the future, please pay more attention to the news of South Korean semiconductor manufacturer Hynix. Remember to notify me in time if there are any changes."

"OK."

Although there is no chance now, it may not be possible after speculation about the Iraq War.

"I must raise more money this time."

The more principal you have, the more you will earn.

After calming down and looking back, Xu Liang found no valuable news.

Time soon reached noon, and the Sun sisters didn't get up and go downstairs until then.

After a brief chat, Sun Mingzhen went to work in the company. What she cared about most was her career.

Sun Yanzhen suffered serious injuries after breaking the melon. After eating, she quickly went back upstairs to rest.

That night, Xu Liang hugged her from left to right, which was indescribably beautiful.

The next day, I was invited to visit SK Group.

As the top chaebol in South Korea.

SK is the third largest multinational company in South Korea. Its predecessor was Sunkyung Fabrics established in 1953.

Thanks to the efforts of the first-generation founder Choi Jong-hyun, SK Group has become South Korea's top enterprise, especially in the fields of energy, chemical industry, and information and communications.

SK Communications is the largest mobile communications operator in South Korea, with more than half of the market share in South Korea.

SK Energy is South Korea's largest comprehensive energy and chemical company, and its Ulsan Refinery is one of the largest single refineries in the world.

But unfortunately, although SK is very strong, it does not match its own business.

Apart from finance, there is no possibility of cooperation.

"President Xu, our SK Group has always been very happy to cooperate with your company, especially in the merger and acquisition of website Daquan, which has achieved results that both parties are satisfied with."

Choi Tae-won, who replaced his father and became the second generation chairman of SK, continued with a smile.

"So, I think it is necessary for us to cooperate further in this regard."

Xu Liang smiled and said: "President Cui is optimistic about the Internet?"

"That's right. As an economic industry in the new era, I very much agree with Chairman Xu's judgment, and I also believe that the Internet has great potential to be tapped."

After a pause, Cui Taiyuan stared into Xu Liang's eyes.

"So I hope to cooperate with Hongmeng again to acquire your Naver portal and its related businesses."

Xu Liang smiled faintly, "President Cui has a huge appetite. But I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you. The Naver portal is not for sale by Hongmeng."

Although the potential of the portal was limited, Xu Liang had no intention of selling it before 2006.

"For US$200 million, SK Group acquired the Naver portal and related businesses of your company, Hongmeng South Korea." Cui Taiyuan said with a smile.

Xu Liang said calmly: "I won't sell it."

Cui Taiyuan frowned slightly, "300 million US dollars... Chairman Xu, I am already very sincere."

"Unless Chairman Cui is willing to add a zero at the end, Hongmeng South Korea will not sell Naver." Xu Liang said calmly.

Cui Taiyuan held back the anger in his heart.

$3 billion? The value of the entire Hongmeng South Korea is not so high.

Do you really think he was taken advantage of?

"President Xu really doesn't plan to sell?"

"certainly."

Cui Taiyuan looked directly at Xu Liang opposite, "In this case, our SK Group will develop the Internet business on our own."

"Welcome. I believe that with SK Group's foundation in South Korea, it will definitely be able to make great achievements in the Internet industry." Xu Liang said with a smile.

Cui Taiyuan's threat was nothing to him.

The Internet industry is different from other industries. This is a winner-takes-all industry, with leading companies accounting for more than 70% of the share.

Through acquisitions and more than two years of development, Hongmeng South Korea has occupied the majority of the shares in the three major fields of gaming, Internet search and portal websites.

Whenever Cui Taiyuan says that cooperating with Google will pose a greater threat to him than entering the Internet himself.

As for political threats.

Haha, the current Hongmeng South Korea is not Xu Liang’s company alone.

Morgan Stanley, MIH, SoftBank, Temasek and 3I are all not easy to make.

After carefully observing Xu Liang's expression and realizing that he didn't seem to be faking it, Cui Taiyuan felt a little puzzled.

"Is he really not worried about SK's competition?"

Neither of them spoke, and the atmosphere in the living room became quiet.

After a while, Cui Taiyuan smiled.

"President Xu, it's almost noon. I've asked my subordinates to prepare lunch at the Shilla Hotel. Please move on, President Xu."

A threat is a threat, and he has no intention of breaking out.

And if he doesn’t sell it now, he will still have a chance in the future. If the relationship is severed, SK will have no chance at all.

"Okay, thank you President Cui for your hospitality."

"Yes, please."

"please."

After arriving at the Silla Hotel, Cui Taiyuan tried several more times, but Xu Liang never let go, so he gave up temporarily.

——

Dong Dong…….

There was a knock on the door.

"Come in."

Sun Bingzhe quickly opened the door and went in.

"Chairman, I just received news that Xu Liang, chairman of Hongmeng Company, visited SK Group this morning and had a pleasant talk with Cui Taiyuan, and both parties had lunch together."

He said and handed over a few photos.

Li Jianxi took it and looked at Xu Liang and Cui Taiyuan above, smiling and shaking hands with each other, and his expression suddenly darkened.

"Any idea what they talked about?"

"It's not clear yet." Sun Bingzhe said quickly.

Li Jianxi frowned, but he didn't blame the other party, after all, the time was too short.

"Hurry up and check it out. Remember to notify me as soon as you get the results."

Several top consortiums in South Korea have financial businesses.

If Choi Taiyuan takes the lead, Samsung will be in trouble.

"yes."

Sun Bingzhe just turned around.

"Wait... You can send an invitation letter to Xu Liang for me, inviting him to be a guest at Villa No. 9 on Kaiyue Mountain in Hannan Cave in two days' morning."

"Villa 9 in Kaiyue Mountain?" Sun Bingzhe's heart moved.

As Li Jianxi's personal assistant, he knew very well that this place was the mansion of his boss.

"have you understood?"

"Understood."

Sun Bingzhe nodded quickly.

"Go ahead."

After confirming that the big boss had no new explanation, Sun Bingzhe turned and left.

The door is closed.

Li Jianxi looked at the photo in his hand and couldn't help but narrow his eyes.

"Kill someone with a borrowed knife, or are you really planning on shopping around?"

In fact, Xu Liang’s initial offer was very good. The reason why he didn’t agree immediately was because he wanted to give Samsung an opportunity to invest in Hongmeng.

Originally, he planned to delay for a few days, and wait for Xu Liang to come to the door again, then retreat and sign the contract.

Unexpectedly, the other party didn't play according to the routine at all.

Not only did they not come to him, they went directly to Samsung’s competitors.

——

Hannam-dong villa.

Xu Liang sat on the rooftop, holding a paintbrush in his hand. After grinding it for a while, he painted the paint on the drawing board.

On the huge drawing board is a woman wearing a snow-white dress, with long hair shawl, beautiful appearance, gentle and elegant temperament.

His image is none other than Sun Yanzhen.

The women around him basically have portraits drawn by him.

Since I've 'eaten' Sun Yanzhen, of course I have to give one as well.

Lu Hui came over and took a look at the oil painting.

"Mr. Xu, just now Li Jianxi's assistant Sun Bingzhe personally sent an invitation letter, inviting you to visit Villa No. 9 on Kaiwol Mountain in Hannan Cave the day after tomorrow."

Xu Liang stopped painting.

"No. 9 Kaiwolsan Mountain in Hannam-dong? I remember it well. It should not be far from here, right?"

After Lu Hui nodded, "You live in Longshan Villa. Kaiyue Mountain is just two streets away. It is the earliest luxury villa area in Hannam-dong."

Xu Liang understood, "In other words, Li Jianxi asked me to visit his home?"

"It seems so." Lu Hui said.

Xu Liang put down his paint board and brushes, got up and walked around the rooftop garden a few times.

"What's Li Jianxi's idea? He's too tough and wants to be soft, playing the emotional card?"

Lu Hui smiled and said: "I heard that Li Jianxi has three daughters. The eldest daughter and the second daughter are both married, but the youngest daughter Li Yixin is about the same age as you. I heard that she is also very beautiful.

Li Jianxi sees that you are talented and have a bright future, so he might want to recruit you as his son-in-law. "

Xu Liang stopped for a moment, was stunned for a moment, and then smiled casually.

"I'm a scumbag. It's better if I don't mess with this kind of rich girl as much as I can."

Lu Hui curled her lips secretly.

I have followed the big boss for more than two years and have witnessed almost the entire process of his rise. I have always seen him greedy for money and lust, but I have never seen him use the money he has obtained to push away the beauties who come to his door.

"Then I refused on your behalf?"

Xu Liang smiled and said: "How can you refuse someone's kindness?... You reply for me. I will go to the appointment on time the day after tomorrow."

"I knew it would be like this." Lu Hui complained in her heart.

——

Time flies like running water, and in the blink of an eye it is already two days later.

Out of politeness, Xu Liang put on a suit that he didn't usually wear.

"Mr. Xu, this is it."

Looking at the villa in front of him hidden among the green trees, it seemed to occupy an area larger than his Longshan Villa No. 18.

"Wow."

The thick and solid black iron door slowly opened to both sides.

Sun Bingzhe came out with two bodyguards.

Xu Liang also lowered the window.

"President Xu, please come in."

"Thank you."

The car drives in.

As he had expected before, there was quite a lot of space inside.

After walking a few dozen meters and passing through the garden, the car stopped in front of the parking lot.

Xu Liang got off the car.

Soon he saw Li Jianxi coming out of the room.

Next to him was Lee Jae-yong, whom he had met once. An old lady dressed gorgeously, and three beautiful women with different temperaments, but all exuding nobility.

Li Jianxi’s family is not a secret in South Korea.

Xu Liang found out after a simple check.

With a simple glance, the elegant Li Fuzhen looked indifferent, the less handsome Li Xuxian looked curious, and the youngest Li Yixin looked full of resistance.
