Chapter 17 Arrival in Korea

Yang Cheng was a little surprised and confused, "Dad, aren't you taking the high-cold route? How did you learn from your mother today?"

"What's so cold, it's okay, I was angry at the meeting." Yang Sen said hesitantly.

Yang Cheng changed his hand to hold the phone, "Board of Directors?"

"Well...don't worry." Yang Sen was disdainful.

After a pause, he continued to ask, "How's it going on your side? Didn't you encounter any trouble?"

Falling on the sofa, Yang Cheng also had a headache, "Don't mention it, the financial director of the golden monkey absconded with the money, and the ledger was missing. I was worried that it would not be good for all parties, so I thought about changing directions, starting from Starting from South Korea, Lehman is not trying to acquire the business of lotte food in the Z country, but we have to see what it looks like when they spend a lot of money and receive an empty shell.”

"Hmph, don't underestimate the enemy, even if Louis Lehman is an idiot, his father is as famous as Warren Buffett. Lotte's business is different from that of the golden monkey. It's just intentional. That old guy is a fox and can smell anything. There is a hint of conspiracy, don't underestimate him, he can grow from a tennis player to an investment tycoon, and the predicament he encounters is unimaginable." Yang Sen's voice was cold and serious.

Yang Cheng is a very self-aware person, he knows what his abilities are, and Yang Sen's warning is printed in his mind verbatim.

————————————

3 days later, Yang Cheng handed over to the acquisition team sent by Yuanshan Capital, and they were responsible for negotiating with the lvmh team. This kind of negotiation involving billions of funds took only a few months. Don't try to reach an agreement easily. Feeling exhausted, he conveyed his request to the person in charge of the acquisition team, leaving Elena to watch, while he took two bodyguards on the flight to Seoul.

Yang Cheng, who was sitting in the first class cabin, felt like a stone was blocked in his heart, and his whole person was gloomy, because he suddenly felt that since he was reborn, he didn't seem to have accomplished anything.

Shorting crude oil is in the layout stage, and it will take some time to harvest the fruits; his store in Manhattan is his largest cash cow, and the tenant will default; the aggressive and ambitious coming to China is a step by step, he wants to Find a master to calculate, is it possessed by a disaster star.

Feeling sullen and not in the mood to provoke the flight attendant, he got off the plane and was taken to the hotel by Lao Liu without saying a word.

"How's the investigation going?"

Yang Cheng stayed at the JW Marriott Hotel in JN District on this trip. In the executive suite, Yang Cheng asked with a stern face on his waist.

Seeing Yang Cheng's bad face, Liu Jianjun didn't dare to be presumptuous, "The investigation is clear, Tairong Real Estate's debt ratio exceeds 120%, and is currently seeking bank loans to tide over the difficulties, the land located in Seoul Forest in CD District is the chairman, oh It was won by Chairman Park Tairong in the early years, and real estate companies including Samsung, Hyundai and other consortiums are interested in this land, but Park Tairong refused to let go, and regarded this land as a trump card for Tairong Real Estate to turn over."

Yang Cheng put his hands on his shoulders and shook his head in confusion. "The rate of responsibility is too high. Did the investment fail? Can't the funds be recovered?"

Liu Jianjun gave a positive answer, "Yes, Park Tae-young wants to become the largest real estate group in South Korea. In the past few years, he acquired land in Daegu, Daejeon, Busan and other places, but you also know that the entire Korean economy is concentrated in the Seoul area. , 7.80% of the main people who need to buy houses are in Seoul. As a result, the new projects he developed in several places have not been sold, the funds cannot be recovered, and the loans cannot be repaid. Tairong Real Estate has fallen into an endless loop. In fact, Park Tairong only needs Cashing out the land in Seoul Forest will greatly reduce the pressure.”

He nodded clearly and smiled wickedly, "That means he hasn't been cornered yet?"

"Uh...you can say the same." Liu Jianjun said in cooperation.

"Which bank is he seeking for a loan?" Yang Cheng's smile became more and more obvious.

"Citi, he has been blacklisted by Korean banks,

No one will lend him money. "

"Haha, he hit the gun himself, Lao Liu, go and send a letter to Park Tairong. I'll invite him to a big meal. You can arrange the location. Remember to keep the environment quiet so that we can talk easily." Yang Cheng took out his mobile phone. , he ordered.

I don't know what plan Yang Cheng has, but Liu Jianjun just needs to implement it, "Yes, I'll send the letter now."

Yang Cheng waved his hand, indicating that he was busy, and called his grandfather.

"Haha, Orange, you haven't called your grandfather for a long time." Liu Muqian spoke at a slow pace, full of literary popularity, just like his name.

"Grandpa, I've been busy recently. How about going to New Zealand to accompany you and grandpa to fish?" Yang Cheng asked apologetically.

"Okay, I've heard from your dad. Your grandfather and I are very pleased that you can walk out of the shadows by yourself." Liu Muqian sighed.

Yang Cheng touched his nose, "I'm worried about your second elder."

"Hehe, it's nothing, man, you have to do a few shitty things in your life, is it okay to call me? Come on, don't delay my fishing, I'm betting with your grandpa to see who catches the most, if it's because you lose , look I don't have to knock you to death with a cane."

Yes, these two old men are teasing again. The two old men who are not bad for money will bet when they have nothing to do. The betting is not much, just hundreds of thousands of dollars, and they have fun.

"That's it, grandpa, do you know the head of Citi in Korea?"

"South Korea? What are you doing with the stick? Hurry up and stop dealing with sticks." When Liu Muqian heard that his grandson was in South Korea, he suddenly became upset. His childhood playmate, when he grew up, joined the army and died on the battlefield in North Korea. Didn't find it back, which also made Liu Muqian hold a grudge against the stick.

Yang Cheng hurriedly explained, "Grandpa, I'm here to make money from the stick, you have to help me with this."

Sure enough, Liu Muqian's tone became kinder, "Really? That's a good thing, but I really don't know the person in charge of Citi in South Korea. Why don't you go directly to McCorbert? Don't you know him too?"

"Cough, cough..." Yang Cheng almost choked to death on his own saliva, but when he opened his mouth, he called out the CEO of Citi.

"Grandpa, I'm just looking for someone to help me suppress a loan application from a real estate company in South Korea. You called McCorbert out, didn't you use a cannon to fight mosquitoes?"

"Oh, what should we do then?" Liu Muqian asked in disapproval, obviously he didn't think it would be difficult to ask the CEO of Citi for help.

"Uh... can you ask who is the president of the Asia Pacific region?"

"Okay, don't ask about it, isn't it just to hold down a company's loan? I'll solve it for you, don't worry about it." Liu Muqian is very keen to cause trouble for the stick, and in his mind, it is estimated that this matter has not been related to Grandpa lost a big bet.

Yang Cheng dumbfoundedly listened to the busy tone from the phone, what is this called?

Wait, eating fruit, turning on the TV, and hearing Smecta all over his ears, he was distracted, couldn't understand, and waited boringly for about 10 minutes, the phone rang, and he picked it up quickly. , "Ok, the CEO on the stick will contact you in a while. I think you're going back more and more as you mix up. It's a big deal, and you're going to spend so much effort, hang up, and delay my fishing."

Now I know where my mother's poisonous tongue came from, but my grandfather's slow poisonous tongue is quite interesting.

Without making him wait any longer, the phone rang again, "Hello, is this Mr. Yang's call?"

"I'm Yang Cheng, who are you?"

"Hello, Mr. Yang, I'm Park Zhouyong, CEO of Citibank Korea. You can call me Tony. Mr. McCorbert just called and asked me to contact Mr. Yang. How can I help you?"

Yang Cheng estimated that the other party was of Korean American descent and spoke very authentic English without an accent.

"Tony, just call me jason. Thank you very much for your help. Is that the case? Has a Tairong real estate company applied for a loan from your bank recently?" Yang Cheng thanked him. asked directly.

"You're welcome, jason, please wait a moment, I'll check."

There was a sound of footsteps. . .

After a while, Tony confirmed, "That's right jason, there is indeed a Tairong real estate, and the land is used as a mortgage to apply for a loan, and it is currently in the review process."

"I don't know how likely it is to lend? As far as I know, this property has been blacklisted by the Bank of Korea," Yang Cheng asked again.

Tony may have heard Yang Cheng's implication, and paused, "Taeyoung applied for a loan of 40 billion won, and the mortgaged land is located near Limseongsu-dong, Seoul, covering an area of ​​about 3,500 ping, which is about 11,500 square meters, if jason you said It's the fact that Citi wouldn't agree to the project."

"That's the best, but the land is nice, isn't it?"

"Indeed, the risk is within our tolerance range. Even if the loan is not paid, we will re-auction and we will get a good price."

"That's the trouble for Tony. After all, a company that is on the blacklist of its own banks, its repayment ability remains to be questioned."

"I think so."

. . .

After hanging up the phone, Yang Cheng's thoughts gradually became clear. First of all, Tairong Real Estate holds 21% of the shares of Lotte Food Z Country Company, which he must get;

Secondly, he took Taeyoung's land in Seoul Forest, which was the bait he prepared for lotte, in order to lure the lotte group to cooperate with him. As for the tragic ending of Taeyoung without this land, it was not within his scope of consideration. .

Finally, in order to acquire the shares of Hershey with lotte, Lehman had to negotiate with the Yang family in order to complete the holding of the Hershey. A powerful enemy, but Lehman provoked the Yang family for no reason, and he must learn a lesson, otherwise he thought that the Yang family was easy to bully, so Lehman apologized and lost money was the best ending.

The idea is good, if there are no surprises.

But can things really go as smoothly as Yang Cheng imagined?
