The Hanjin Group was one of the largest logistics companies in the world, and the largest in Korea.
It was founded in 1945 by a well-known entrepreneur, Cho Chong Hun. It included land transportation, Korean Airlines, Korean Shipping, and logistics services in all aspects of the sea, land, and air. It had more than 25,000 employees. For Korea, it was a key enterprise that was truly related to the national economy and people's livelihood.
As a top financial group, its internal relationships were always complicated.
After Zhao Chongxun's death, it was not his eldest son, Zhao Lianggao who inherited the family business, but his third son, Zhao Shugao. However, Zhao Shugao passed away after only three years. Zhao Lianggao acted as the president for one year, but his right of inheritance was taken back by his wife, Cui Yinying.
Cui Yinying also had an extraordinary background. Her maternal uncle was the Xin Family of Le Tian … Unfortunately, Cui Yinying was unlucky. She had just seized the power in 2007, and encountered a global economic crisis in 2008. The whole Hanjin Group was like a frosted eggplant, and its shipping business took a turn for the worse. It was still losing money after five years.
When Tang Jinyan listened to the report of Incheon Company, he noticed that the Korean Shipping was getting worse and worse. It was a behemoth shipping company ranked seventh in the world, with hundreds of various container ships and a shipping capacity of nearly 630,000 standard containers. However, part of its business was taken away by Tang Jinyan's company, which only had five ships. It seemed that the company was strong in appearance but weak in reality …
At that time, Zhao Lianggao did not seize the power of the whole group, but at least he still held the power of Korean Airlines. Korean Airlines was in a good condition these years, much better than Korean Shipping.
Therefore, he invested in Korean Shipping this year, which sounded the horn to seize the power of the company.
The shipping business was already weak, and the top management began to quarrel with each other. It was obvious that there were internal and external troubles, and the company was in a precarious situation.
Jiang Minjing's grandfather felt that there was no good future, and decisively withdrew from the whirlpool.
"At present, I don't recommend your company to get involved in the affairs of Hanjin Shipping."
Jiang Minjing's grandfather looked at Lee Yoon-rim with scorching eyes. "Minjing's dad is very clear about the financial affairs. The deficit is shocking, and it's not something that can be remedied by ordinary people.
No matter who gets involved, it's easy to be trapped in the whirlpool.
It hasn't been long since your President Tang rose to prominence. No matter how rich he is, it'll be difficult for him to compare to Le Tian and the others. Even Xin Dongbin doesn't dare to casually set foot in this area. If it's President Tang … "
While speaking, Jiang Minjing sat beside Lee Yoon-rim like an obedient baby. Seeing that her teacup was empty, she took the initiative to refill it.
Her grandfather's eyelids twitched, but he didn't say anything.
In terms of his identity, he knew some things that ordinary people didn't know, such as Lee Yoon-rim's background …
Li Jianxi's illegitimate daughter, who had fallen in love with a hooligan back then … Later on, no one knew what they had done in exchange, but she had actually followed him around as a man, and in exchange, the Li family had not questioned her.
In other words, this beautiful woman in front of him was actually a man on the surface.
When Min Jing introduced him, she also said, "This is Mr. Lee Yoon-rim, the executive director of our company."
In other words, he was a 'mister' in Min Jing's eyes. Then … Min Jing's intimacy with this' mister 'almost made the old man go crazy.
Lee Yoon-rim drank her tea gracefully and said faintly, "There are some things that Le Tian can't do, but it doesn't mean that we can't do it.
Of course, we don't plan to do it now. It's not the time yet. "
The old man was a little puzzled. "With all due respect … President Tang doesn't need to get involved in this.
He just needs to follow his own steps, and in a few years, he will be able to be on par with Han Jin. "
Lee Yoon-rim paused and nodded. "In theory, yes, but we lack something to control the lifeline. Han Jin is the blood vessel of the Korean Republic, which is very tempting to us."
Her words were soft, but they set off stormy waves in the old man's ears.
They weren't satisfied with making money!
They weren't satisfied with being an ordinary consortium!
What they needed was a project to control the lifeline of the country!
What an ambitious heart!
And … what a strong degree of trust!
How could he reveal his ambitions in just a few words?
She, Lee Yoon-rim, shouldn't be such a shallow person!
Hmm … Although it didn't seem to be a big deal, it just reflected Tang Jinyan's lofty ambition.
Lee Yoon-rim seemed to know what he was thinking. She smiled and said, "Minjing and I are a family."
The old man was in a mess. "You … you are a …"
"A woman?" Lee Yoon-rim smiled. "But others don't know."
The old man was deep in thought.
Jiang Minjing suddenly said, "Hey!
I didn't agree with your weird idea!
Why did you directly mention it to my grandpa?
Do you think I don't exist? "
"Minjing, be a good girl. Don't be noisy."
"…" The old man looked at his granddaughter who was mumbling and didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Minjing actually had the opportunity to marry into the Li family in such an unscientific and weird way?
To be honest, he was really tempted.
"Brother Nine asked me to be responsible for the cooperation with you. In fact, in my heart, this is never a cooperation." Lee Yoon-rim said seriously, "This is obviously a joint effort of our family."
Jiang Minjing wanted to say something again, but Lee Yoon-rim said again, "Minjing, be a good girl. Don't be noisy. We are talking about business."
Jiang Minjing touched her forehead. "Do you take me as a child?"
"When we talk about shipping, I think you are no different from a child."
"The question is, are you talking about shipping?
Are you sure you are not talking about marriage?
Don't confuse public and private matters, okay? "
"Eh … Why does my Minjing suddenly become smart?"
"You have always taken me as an idiot!
I think you are the most idiotic one! "
Seeing the two girls quarreling, the old man suddenly felt so loving … Although Minjing said she didn't agree, she didn't seem to dislike it at all.
The old man coughed and said seriously, "I agree with Director Yoon-rim.
This is indeed a joint effort of our family. "
"Grandpa!"
"Do you think grandpa is very open-minded?"
"You are the biggest idiot!!!"
Lee Yoon-rim pressed Jiang Minjing. "Then … Grandpa, about the shipping …"
The old man grinned when he was called grandpa. He stroked his beard and said with a smile, "We still have people in Han Jin who will keep an eye on the progress.
If you need anything, we will talk about it when the time comes. "
"Thank you, grandpa."
Jiang Minjing was lucky enough to witness the most childish plot against a super consortium in history, and she herself was the key factor in it.
Jiang Minjing's eyes were still a little dull when they left the coffee house after saying goodbye to her grandpa.
Lee Yoon-rim waved her hand in front of her face. "Hey, come back to your senses."
Jiang Minjing asked blankly, "You mean … Grandpa has promised me to you?"
Li Yunlin nodded like a chick eating rice. "Yes, yes, that's what I meant."
"Have you asked me?"
"No."
"…"
"But the word 'yes' is written on your face. Do I need to ask you?"
"Wait … I haven't figured it out yet …" Jiang Minjing scratched her head. "If I really marry you, it means that it is no different from marrying Tang Jinyan, right?"
Li Yunlin was taken aback for a moment before revealing an amused smile.
In fact, if they had a fake marriage, it would have nothing to do with Tang Jinyan. Jiang Minjing could live her own life, and it would have nothing to do with Tang Jinyan.
But Jiang Minjing unconsciously linked the nature of their relationship to this direction … It seemed that the long-term imperceptible influence was really powerful!
She replied with a smile, "You can just ignore him."
"Ah … Is that so?"
"Yeah, you're my wife, not his."
"But … he even did that to you … You are his, and I'm yours … Then what am I to him?" Jiang Minjing was stuck in a dead end and couldn't figure it out for quite a while.
Lee Yoon-rim covered her belly and squatted on the ground with tears of laughter. "Good Minjing, with your IQ, don't think about such a complicated problem, okay …"
Jiang Minjing felt that she had fallen into a big hole, and she didn't even know who dug it …
