Chapter 884 What do you want most?
When Zhao Guoyang and Kim Soo-joo arrived at the headquarters of the "Daewoo Group", it was already past six o'clock in the evening.
After having dinner at the restaurant at the headquarters, Zhao Guoyang was pulled to her office by Jin Xiuzhu to discuss the plan.
After watching Zhao Guoyang sit on the sofa, Jin Xiuzhu said in a mysterious voice: "Guoyang, guess what did I find from the 'Hanbao Steel Company' these days?"
After hearing this, Zhao Guoyang was stunned.
When he was in the car just now, he and Jin Xiuzhu didn't talk too much about the "Hanbao Steel Company". The main reason was that Zhao Guoyang didn't want to put too much pressure on this Miss Jin.
But now looking at the other party's appearance, it seems that there is no pressure at all, and it seems to be confident.
Zhao Guoyang couldn't help but think inwardly: "Can Iron and Steel Company be wrong? Is this 'Hanbao Steel Company' almost unable to hold on now?"
After careful consideration, it seems that there is such a possibility.
Just as Zhao Guoyang was stunned, Jin Xiuzhu explained with a smile: "Guoyang, I won't keep this matter from being kept aside. Let's tell you everything!"
"This is the thing! Hanbao Steel Company, a business department manager took the initiative to contact me a few days ago..."
When Zhao Guoyang heard this, he knew it very well.
Needless to say, this business department manager must have had commercial contacts with "Daewoo Group" before.
He didn't say anything, but just nodded quietly and signaled Jin Xiuzhu to continue speaking.
Jin Xiuzhu caught a glimpse of his gesture and said with a roaring voice: "After contacting me privately, I met him in person."
"What do you think of the result? This guy told me the recent situation of 'Hanbao Steel Company'."
Kim Soo-joo said proudly: "According to what this guy said, their 'Hanbao Steel Company' is now in a desperate situation. The money owed in the bank is almost exceeding their total assets!"
After Kim Soo-joo finished speaking, Zhao Guoyang immediately understood why she was so happy.
You should know that the South Korean government is very concerned about corporate loan issues.
If the number of loans of a company exceeds the valuation of the total assets of the company, there is a high probability that it will be forced to go bankrupt.
Of course, enterprises with government backgrounds like "Modern Group" and "Samsung Electronics" are definitely not in this ranks.
However, "Hanbao Steel Company" does not have a government background. If it touches the red line of loans, it is definitely a high probability that it will be ordered to execute bankruptcy.
The reason why the "Hyundai Group" quickly smelled the scent was probably because it received the letter from the South Korean government.
Of course, as a veteran enterprise, "Hanbao Steel Company" must also have some unknown powers.
The South Korean government is also aware of this, and it can only be a rough guess about its dilemma.
The senior executives of "Hyundai Group" are not sure when the other party will not be able to hold on.
In this way, the reason why Li Xiaodong, the chairman of "Hanbao Steel Company" before, acted calmly was very simple.
It is obvious that he should have done this to confuse the people of the "modern company" and the South Korean government, rather than being really calm.
In fact, after hearing the tone revealed by Jin Xiuzhu, the situation of "Hanbao Steel Company" was already very bad.
As expected, Jin Xiuzhu then told Zhao Guoyang about the situation told by the "insider" of "Hanbao Steel Company".
Listening to her story, Zhao Guoyang had probably had an idea in his mind.
Jin Xiuzhu, who was standing by, didn't know what Zhao Guoyang was thinking. Seeing that he didn't say a word, she asked strangely: "Guoyang, do you think that under the current situation, we have the opportunity to be ahead of the 'Modern Group' and take the lead?"
After hearing the question raised by Jin Xiuzhu, Zhao Guoyang nodded heavily and said, "Of course there is a chance! Moreover, we must do it!"
I don’t know why, but Jin Xiuzhu was not disgusted at all when she said such words without any room for leeway from Zhao Guoyang, but she was more energetic.
She clenched her fists hard and echoed: "Yes, Guoyang! We must get this matter in front of the 'Hyundai Group'. Otherwise, they will be able to redeem the 'Hanbao Steel Company', and then our 'Dayu Group' will not have a good life!"
"But, although we understand the situation of the 'Hanbao Steel Company', it is difficult to get these on the surface. What if we can defeat the enemy without fighting, let Li Xiaodong give up most of the shares and hand over the rights in the hands?"
Speaking of this, Jin Xiuzhu looked up at Zhao Guoyang with hope and said, "Guoyang, I should be responsible for this kind of commercial operation. But it is important, and I still want to hear your guidance... What do you think should we do?"
Zhao Guoyang let out a "hmm" and touched his chin, then helped the Miss Jin analyze it in a singular way.
"Xiuzhu, I understand what you mean. You want to get the acquisition of "Hanbao Steel Company" without hurting everyone's peace, right?"
After hearing his responsive question, Kim Soo-joo nodded repeatedly and expressed her agreement.
Zhao Guoyang blinked and said with a confident look on his face: "If you want to accomplish this, we must first analyze what Li Xiaodong wants most..."
“What do you want most?”
Jin Xiuzhu was stunned for a moment, tilted her head and thought for a while, and asked tentatively: "I think he should be thinking about letting 'Hanbao Steel Company' survive?"
"Wrong!" Zhao Guoyang said firmly.
Jin Xiuzhu was a little confused by Zhao Guoyang's "stoppable".
Her pretty face turned slightly red, and she looked up at Zhao Guoyang with some embarrassment and said, "Guoyang, don't go around in circles, tell me clearly!"
Zhao Guoyang smiled, stretched out a finger and shook it in front of Jin Xiuzhu, saying, "This principle is actually very simple! If Li Xiaodong just wants to survive the 'Hanbao Steel Company', then he should make a decision immediately after contacting the 'Hyundai Group', instead of dragging it like this!"
Looking at Jin Xiuzhu who had understood a little, Zhao Guoyang further analyzed to her: "As you said just now, Li Xiaodong knew that his 'Hanbao Steel Company' was about to be unable to hold on, but he was still not in the negotiations, which was very telling!"
As soon as Zhao Guoyang reminded him, his eyes suddenly lit up.
She asked tentatively: "Guoyang, are you saying that Li Xiaodong not only wants to save his company, he has a bigger goal?"
After saying this, Kim Soo-joo was a little uncertain.
She shook her head and said, "But there is no reason! This company is already like this. What else can he have 'ambitions'? It would be great to be able to survive, right?"
Zhao Guoyang gently shook his outstretched fingers, and his face gradually became solemn.
"No, Xiuzhu, you misread this Chairman Li Xiaodong!"
Zhao Guoyang said slowly: "If I was not mistaken, this person should be a person with a strong obsession. Such a person will often spend his whole life completing it, even if he is crushed to pieces, he is not afraid at all!"
After listening to Zhao Guoyang's analysis, he recalled the Li Xiaodong in his memory, and Jin Xiuzhu nodded as if she had understood it.
"Uh, it seems that what you said really makes sense. I heard that Li Xiaodong had a girlfriend when he was young, and the two had a deep relationship. Later, his girlfriend fell seriously ill and finally died. However, Chairman Li never got married in his life..."
Speaking of this, Kim Soo-joo is already very sure.
She nodded vigorously and said, "That's right, that's it! This Li Xiaodong should be the kind of person you said to be very obsessed with Guoyang! And it's so deep that it's beyond ordinary people's imagination!"
Seeing that Kim Soo-joo gave an example to prove her speculation, Zhao Guoyang became even more confident.
He narrowed his eyes and said, "With Xiuzhu, you must be wrong!"
"According to my speculation, another obsession in Lee Hyo-dong's heart should be to defeat 'Posco Iron Manufacturing' and make his 'Hanbao Steel Company' the largest steel manufacturing company in South Korea!"
Zhao Guoyang's words were like enlightenment, and directly hit Jin Xiuzhu.
She opened her mouth wide, recalled the Li Xiaodong in her memory seriously, and exclaimed: "It's amazing, Guoyang, you are so amazing!"
"That's right, this Li Xiaodong usually mentions the word "Poshang Iron" in three sentences. Even if the sad scene of their company now, when he met me last time, he also mentioned the name "Poshang Iron"!"
Hearing this, Zhao Guoyang's judgment on himself was undoubtedly confirmed.
He snapped his fingers with a "bang" and said with great enthusiasm: "When you know his obsession, it will be not difficult to guess what Chairman Li thinks!"
"I think he still keeps stinging his own company when it may go bankrupt at any time, just because he doesn't want his own company to become a foil for 'Posco Iron' after being taken over by others!"
Zhao Guoyang analyzed with a reasonable analysis: "Siuzhu, think about it, these 'Hyundai Group' and 'Posco Iron' are companies supported by your South Korean government, right?"
Jin Xiuzhu nodded in confusion and said nothing.
Zhao Guoyang then asked: "Since they are all supported by the South Korean government, do you think the two of them may fall apart or even fight?"
After hearing Zhao Guoyang's question, Jin Xiuzhu's head shook like a rattle.
Zhao Guoyang smiled with a relaxed look and said, "Will it be over! If Hyundai Group acquires Hanbao Steel Company, they will definitely not compete with Pohang Iron and Steel, but will keep their own acre of land and make some products they need."
