Reborn as a chaebol in Korea

Unless it was absolutely necessary, Zhou Wenhai would not tell Zhou Xingmao about this matter.

After the conversation, Zhou Wenhai hesitated and smoked a cigarette. Xu Minjing was still sitting on the booth in the coffee shop, and the bodyguard stood upright beside her.

Zhou Wenhai threw away the cigarette, and he walked slowly towards Xu Minjing.

"Min Jing Xi."

Xu Minjing lowered her head, Zhou Wenhai stood beside her and shouted.

"Please tell President Xu that time is running out. If we can't reach an agreement today, I can't guarantee that the reporters won't know about it tomorrow."

No matter what Zhou Wenhai said, Xu Minjing kept her head down and didn't look at him or answer.

"What I just said, if Min Jingxi forgets, please remember to convey the words to your president for her."

Zhou Wenhai told Xu Minjing's bodyguard.

Yongsan District, Seoul

Xu Minjing sat in the car to touch up her makeup, and after meeting Zhou Wenhai, she cried and ruined her makeup.

After tidying up her emotions, Xu Minjing smiled at herself in the mirror, then she got out of the car and entered the Amorepacific Group building.

"Minister Xu."

Xu Minjing smiled at every Amore employee who greeted her.

"President Xu, is there really no other way?"

Xu Minjing heard her father talking on the phone at the door of the president's office.

"S...Okay, thank you for your message."

When her father hung up the phone, Xu Minjing walked in and closed the door and asked, "Father, who are you talking to?"

"Xu Shengxian from Shiyue Group."

Xu Qingpei took a bag of Chinese medicine supplements from the drawer, tore open the bag, and drank it in one gulp.

"President Xu, what did he say that made you so angry?"

Xu Minjing went forward to add hot water to his cup.

"Xu Shengxian said that he and Zhou Wenhai are in a cooperative relationship and cannot help us. He also said that the relationship between Zhou Wenhai and the Blue House is unusual, so I'd better bear with it."

Since this morning, Xu Qingpei has been holding back his anger.

"Then have you asked anyone else to help?"

"I have approached Chairman Xin of Lotte and Chairman Hong of JoongAng Daily. Chairman Xin tactfully rejected my request. Chairman Hong came forward to communicate with Mayor Li Zaiming, but there was nothing further."

"Where is grandpa?"

"Your grandfather is getting old, I didn't ask your mother to go to him, and he can't help much."

The strength of Nongshim Group is not as good as that of Amore Pacific Group, Xu Qingpei has no intention of asking his father-in-law Xin Chunhao for help.

"Minjing, how did your talk with that kid go today?"

Facing her father's question, Xu Minjing shook her head.

"Zhou Wenhai told you to go talk to him in person, and he also said that if the talk is not finished after today, he will announce the uncle's affairs to the media."

If it wasn't for his daughter being here, Xu Qingpei would have blurted out the words Xiba.

"You send him a text message, just say that I asked him to meet at the Lotte City Hotel in Jung-gu at seven o'clock tonight."

Xu Minjing sent a text message to Zhou Wenhai according to her father's instructions, and soon she received a reply from Zhou Wenhai.

"Father, Zhou Wenhai said it's okay to change the location to a five-star hotel in Yangchuan District."

Xu Minjing told Xu Qingpei according to the short message Zhou Wenhai replied.

"five-star hotel?"

The five-star hotel is Zhou Wenhai's territory, Xu Qingpei is a little worried.

"Yangchuan District is too far away, let him change places."

After a while, Xu Minjing looked at the text message Zhou Wenhai replied on the phone and said, "He asked if it would be okay to change the location to Shilla Hotel."

"can."

Central District, Seoul

At 23:[-] in the evening, Zhou Wenhai brought Jin Xiujun and three others to the Luoyan Handingshi restaurant on the [-]rd floor of Shilla Hotel. Xu Qingpei also brought four bodyguards with him.

The three of Jin Xiujun and the four bodyguards sat facing each other at the dining table outside the box, while Zhou Wenhai and Xu Qingpei entered the box.

The two of them didn't give each other good looks from the moment they met, Xu Qingpei didn't greet him, Zhou Wenhai simply didn't take the initiative to greet him.

"Tell me, what do you want to talk about?"

Xu Qingpei said sarcastically.

"President Xu, you should know what I think."

Zhou Wenhai turned on his phone and showed the other party the pictures of Sulwhasoo.

"Don't think about it."

Even if there is a waiter here, Xu Qingpei still said angrily.

"You go out first."

Zhou Wenhai asked the waiter to go out.

"Yes."

After the waiter left, Zhou Wenhai went on to say: "President Xu, I never force others, I just hope you can carefully analyze the stakes."

"Really? Even if the prosecution prosecutes my brother, I will ask the lawyer to apply for probation for him. The probability of getting probation for this kind of thing is very high, don't you know?"

Xu Qingpei said with a disapproving smile.

"President Xu, of course I know, but are you sure you want to give up the entire Huaguo market for a Sulwhasoo? There are 14 billion people there."

Zhou Wenhai laughed louder than him.

"What do you mean?"

Seeing the other party smiling so happily, Xu Qingpei felt a little uneasy.

"The relationship between China and South Korea was tense because of SD. At this time, your brother used more than 1000 Chinese students to smuggle products to China for your Amore Pacific Group. Now these students may face repatriation or even The risk of going to jail, do you think that if this news is spread to Huaguo, with my relationship in Huaguo, will the people of Huaguo still buy your products? Will the Huaguo government let you enter the Huaguo market in the future? ?”

Xu Qingpei stopped talking, and Zhou Wenhai said again: "Besides, tax evasion is disgraceful to any company. I think if the people in LG Health Club know about it, they will probably hit you hard."

The so-called peers are like enemies, LG is very likely to do this, Xu Qingpei is still silent.

"Don't you still have Heyan, Lanzhi, Mengzhuang, Innisfree and other brands under your umbrella? Do you think it is worthwhile to lose the Huaguo market for a Sulwhasoo?"

In 2015, the total global sales of all cosmetic brands under Amorepacific reached more than 3 trillion won, of which 42% came from Huaguo. For Xu Qingpei, he naturally did not want to give up the huge market of Huaguo.

Zhou Wenhai wanted to pick up vegetables with his chopsticks, but at this moment Xu Qingpei suddenly asked, "What kind of conditions can you offer?"

"I will help you sell your products to Huaguo without charging any service fees, plus 10% of the shares of Five Star Foods and Five Star Construction and 1000 billion won in cash."

"Five Star Construction Club?"

Xu Qingpei heard for the first time that Zhou Wenhai had set up another branch.

"Yes, it is a newly established company with a registered capital of 500 billion won."

Zhou Wenhai reduced the 1500 billion won he had previously negotiated with Gu Guangmo to 500 billion won.

"President Xu, don't worry, my five-star construction club will definitely have great potential in the future, and even LG's executive Ku Guangmo wants to take a stake in it."

"1000 billion is too little, I want 3000 billion."

Xu Qingpei stared at him fiercely and said.

"3000 billion is too much, President Xu, no matter what you think, I don't mean to take advantage of the fire, 1500 billion, I won't add more."

Xu Qingpei didn't hesitate anymore, he said decisively: "Okay, I'll give you an answer after I convene the council tomorrow."

### Chapter 024 Smile ###

When Xu Qingpei returned home, he asked his secretary to contact the members of the council temporarily. He will hold the council at eight o'clock tomorrow morning.

In the early morning of May 5, Zhou Mi, who was released from the Central District Procuratorate, stayed in a nearby hotel and was guarded by two policemen.

Yongsan District, Seoul

Amore Pacific Group Building, at 07:30 in the morning, Xu Qingpei entered the conference room, and other members of his family, Xu Minjing, Xin Yunjing and others walked in with him.

As soon as eight o'clock came, all members of the council were present.

"I invite everyone here today to discuss the cooperation between our club and Five Star Group."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone except the Xu family started talking about it.

"Didn't Minister Xu break up with Zhou Wenhai?"

someone whispered.

"Yeah, why do you suddenly want to cooperate with Five Star Group again?"

"Is it still because of Sulwhasoo?"

Xu Qingpei cleared his throat, "Everyone, please be quiet, and I will talk about the specific cooperation matters."

The members of the council below all fell silent and waited for Xu Qingpei to speak.

"Five Star Group will sell 10% of their five-star food club and five-star construction club to our club. They also promised to send our products to Huaguo for sale without charging any service fees."

Speaking of this, Xu Qingpei glanced at every member of the council, and everyone had puzzled expressions on their faces.

"Equivalently, our club will transfer Sulwhasoo to Five Star Group at a price of 1500 billion won."

Sure enough, the members of the council below all exploded.

"Chairman Xu, I strongly disagree with this. Last year, our Sulwhasoo's sales were close to one trillion won, which was one-third of the total sales of all products. I would be the first to disagree with the transfer of Sulwhasoo to the Five Star Group. .”

A fat old man in his fifties stood up and objected.

"I don't agree either."

Successively, several minority shareholders stood up to oppose Xu Qingpei's decision.

"Director Kim, have you thought about a question?" Xu Minjing defended her father, "Our sales last year were more than 3 trillion won, but more than 2 trillion won came from Yu Huaguo, if calculated based on the 1% service fee charged by the Five Star Group, then we will give them more than 3 billion won for no reason."

"Why are there so many service fees? Our profit is only more than 6 billion won. How can we pay so much service fees?"

The gold director asked puzzledly.

"Because the service fee charged by Five Star Group is not based on 20% of our profits, but 20% of sales."

Xu Minjing explained again.

"That's a big deal if we don't enter the Huaguo market in a short time, I don't believe that the Huaguo market will not be open to us in three to five years."

Another director in his thirties said angrily.

"In three to five years? At that time, the Huaguo market will already be occupied by cosmetics brands produced by LG Health and other countries, and our advantage will not be great."

Xu Minjing retorted.

Xu Qingpei couldn't help shaking his head. What these people didn't know was that if they didn't agree to Zhou Wenhai this time, the cosmetics products under his company might completely withdraw from the Huaguo market.

"President Xu, last time you asked us to agree to transfer Sulwhasoo to Zhou Wenhai because Minister Xu and him had reached the point of discussing marriage, but in the end you suddenly broke off with this kid, why? Are you going to do it now? Have you become a family?"

Director Jin sarcastically said.

"Ah, Director Jin, please be careful what you say, I don't want to talk nonsense, everyone, let's vote with a show of hands."

Xu Qingpei was the first to raise his hand in agreement, followed by Xu Minjing, Xin Yunjing and others.

"The big shares are in the hands of the Xu family, and the representatives of those clubs don't object. Forget it, let's raise our hands too."

Someone persuaded Director Jin that they are all individual shareholders, and the total shares they occupy are less than 5%.

The final result of the vote was that more than 90% of the directors agreed, and it was announced that the board of directors approved the proposal to transfer Sulwhasoo to Five Star Group.
