Now that Lee Jaerong was looking at him, the Choi brothers couldn’t pretend not to notice.
He coughed and said, “How can this have nothing to do with everyone?”
“Although the territories of our various financial groups are different, they all belong to the same country. Furthermore, after all these years of cooperation, we are already closely connected. If one of them is broken through, then the others will also be affected, right?”
Hearing that, the representatives from LG, Letian, and SK looked at each other and smiled.
Because the Choi brothers were talking nonsense.
Even though the families were all in Korea and had many partnerships, it was not to the extent that it would affect the whole situation.
As for the influence, there definitely was, but not as much as he had imagined.
As for the Jiadian Group entering Korea, all the families had their own ideas.
In this incident, the five consortiums, Samsung and Hyundai, were in the same lineup because they were the direct competitors of the Jiadian Group.
However, compared to them, the other financial groups did not have much of a conflict with the Jiadian Group.
After all, after the war in Japan, most of the businesses of the Jiadian Group had already been exposed to the world’s major forces. The most important thing for the Jiadian Group was its cellphone phone and the relevant extension technology.
Among Jiadian’s extended list of technologies, three were the most important. One was the graphene battery and the efficient solar-powered batteries, the second was their glass screens, and the third was their artificial intelligence and cloud technologies.
Of these three technologies, the first one had already begun to extend into other industries, namely the automobile industry.
The second technology was involved in cell phones, semiconductors, LCD screens, and other fields.
The third was used in social media.
In the eyes of the three large financial groups, Jiadian Group would definitely make use of these two advantages and continue to develop.
After the battle in Japan, there might be another financial sector.
But… These have nothing to do with the other three tycoons in Korea.
After all, the people who were directly affected by Jiadian Group were Hyundai and Samsung. LG, SK, and Letian did not have much competition, plus they could even cooperate with Jiadian Group.
Actually, the only reason they had attended the meeting that day was because they wanted to use this opportunity to understand more about this matter, and not because they wanted to cooperate with Hyundai and Samsung.
Therefore, after the representatives of the three companies looked at each other, the vice president of SK said, “Mr. Choi has a point. However, just like Mr. Lee has said, there’s no need for us to be afraid of Jiadian as individuals.
“The few moves that Jiadian made were all countered by your families. So, just because of one company, we’re supposed to join forces. Aren’t you making a huge deal out of something small?”
After he spoke, the heir of Letian nodded. “I agree with Mr. Choi. I feel that we don’t need to be so cautious. It’s just a Chinese company. If we go to China and challenge him, we might not be his match. However, if he dares to come to Korea, he will definitely leave our country on all fours.
“After all, we are a large consortium. We are different from those companies in Japan.”
The heir of Letian emphasized the word “consortium”, obviously hinting at something.
A few of them understood what he meant. Actually, the heir of Letian wanted to say “tycoon”, but it was inconvenient for him to say it in public.
The definition of tycoons was not just about the money. It was a large force that could truly influence the state, the political finger, and even legislation.
No matter how rich this world was, it was impossible to stand at the top. Only by using money to build their own tower, establishing their own game rules in the country and even the world could one become a corporation.
At that level, it depended on who could influence or change the rules.
No matter how much money you have, the other party will affect the country. If the legislation declares that a business is illegal, they will still be confiscated, leaving them all alone.
The eastern world was governed by officials, so businessmen could never reach the peak. However, the western world was different. This was the world of money, so money could create rules.
It was just that… Su Yang’s Jiadian Group was too young. Even though they were rich, they had yet to establish their own rules. Especially since they were on Korea’s side, the main battlefield. Hence, in the eyes of the heir of Letian, it was impossible for Su Yang to succeed.
Lee Jaerong was not surprised by the negative reaction of these three financial groups. As if he had already prepared a script, he said softly, “Indeed, we are a consortium. After Su Yang enters our country, he won’t be able to fight us.”
Hearing that, the other three consortiums smiled, thinking that Lee Jaerong was about to give in.
However, what they did not expect was that after Lee Jaerong said that, he changed his tone and said, “But… Who said that Su Yang is alone?”
Then, Lee Jaerong tapped the table lightly with his fingers. “Don’t forget that there is still someone who hates us inside the cabinet.
“They’ve just sent our agent, the president of the previous two terms, to prison.
“Who do you think he’s going to deal with next?”
When they heard Lee Jaerong’s words, the eyes of the representatives turned cold.
Obviously, Mr. Yoon had caused them a lot of trouble recently.
Lee Jaerong’s words changed the situation in the conference room.
He smiled, then tapped his fingers on the table again and said, “Actually, we don’t have anything to worry about if we’re facing him.
“He can’t do anything to us, not even locking us up.
“After all, this country depends on us, so America will not allow him to do anything.
“But…
“What if he teams up with Jiadian Group?”
Everyone had heard about Su Yang stirring up trouble in Central Asia. They also knew that Su Yang had a mercenary company that was disguised as a security company. This proved that Su Yang was going from an ordinary company to a tycoon that could influence the region, country, and even the world.
‘If he teams up with Mr. Yoon, even if America intervenes and stops Su Yang, during this period of time, our own families might really be forced into a passive position by the two of them. They might even… Destroy one or two of our families.
‘However, could Mr. Yoon and Su Yang really work together?’
Thinking about this topic quietly, the spacious meeting room with only five people suddenly became very quiet…
…
While the five consortiums were discussing how to deal with him, Su Yang was watching the entire process. Even though it was intermittent, Su Yang could still see the general thoughts and changes of the few families.
After all, this meeting was too important. After Little Deeny found out about it, he immediately transferred it to Su Yang. He even interrupted Su Yang as he was upgrading his Silver Abilities.
After watching the joint conference of the five consortiums, Su Yang suddenly felt like laughing out loud. ‘Do you have to take me so seriously? I was just testing the waters, but the five of you ended up meeting each other.
‘If these five consortiums were to unite, they would be able to deal with even the largest financial groups in America. After all, these families have been in charge of their own companies for so many years, and their influence has already formed a system from top to bottom. Even if most of the shares were in the hands of America’s magnate, they still have the right to speak and mobilize resources.
‘Yet, I never expected for them to work together to discuss how to deal with me.’
Based on their conversation, they did not think that there was much for them to worry about initially. However, when they heard that Mr. Yoon might be working with Su Yang, they started to worry.
At that moment, Su Yang really wanted to shout, “Mr. Yoon doesn’t want to work with me! Don’t be so nervous. Give me a chance and let me destroy you guys one by one!”
Of course, Su Yang could not tell the five consortiums about this. Hence, he could only think of other ways.
‘It’s just like what they’ve said. Be it myself or Mr. Yoon, none of us had a good solution to go up against each other.
‘However, once I join forces with Mr. Yoon, they would immediately undergo a qualitative change, producing a power of 1+1 greater than 3. In fact, I might even be able to crush the five consortiums.
‘Therefore, the most important juncture to break through this alliance still lies with Mr. Yoon.’
Initially, Su Yang wanted to strike first and create a commotion so that Mr. Yoon could see his opportunity. However, based on the video obtained from [Eye of Origins], Mr. Yoon did not want to cooperate with him. He even thought that Su Yang was another tycoon from another country.
Because of this, Mr. Yoon thought that him working with Su Yang would not change anything for Korea in the future, only a change of ruler.
This way, his position in the other party’s heart was even lower than the five consortiums.
Therefore, the most important thing for Su Yang at that moment was to deal with Mr. Yoon. Only by dealing with Mr. Yoon would Su Yang’s plan have a chance of success.
In order to deal with Mr. Yoon, Su Yang also had a few special items, such as [Lady Pan’s Gold Spoon], which could increase his Affinity Points, [Absolute Verbal Contract], etc.
However, Su Yang had a complete set of information on Mr. Yoon. According to Little Deeny and Zhao Licheng’s analysis, Mr. Yoon was a typical politician. His words were well-educated and would only vaguely express his intentions with nothing clear.
This was a trait where the [Absolute Verbal Contract] could not work out.
As for… [Lady Pan’s Gold Spoon], the rate that Affinity Points were added onto him were a little slow. Moreover, Mr. Yoon was the president of the country and did not have time to eat with him every day.
That was also the reason why Su Yang was so troubled.
Now that he knew that the five consortiums wanted to work together to deal with him, Su Yang had no other choice but to choose whether he could find a special item or ability that could turn the situation around!
Therefore, after watching the video, Su Yang called Little Hus over and gave it a name list. He then asked it to try to find special items that could increase someone’s Affinity, influence them, or even control them.
When Little Hus saw the name list that Su Yang gave her, its nose wrinkled into a dark chocolate as it said, “Su Yang, that’s going to be really difficult to find.”
It was rare that Su Yang did not criticize it. He patted its head. “Good luck. I know there’s nothing you can’t find.”
Little Hus rolled its eyes. “If I could do what you’ve just said, do you think I would have to pursue Janet for so long?”
Su Yang took a glance at it and felt that Little Hus had very dangerous thoughts and that he could tell that it was not a good dog at first glance.
Su Yang gave Little Hus a kick and told it not to push it and to look for what he had asked first. Then, Su Yang, who chased Little Hus away, started to look for a way to break out of the situation from another angle… Gaining Silver Abilities.
There were a total of five Silver Abilities in Su Yang’s possession at that moment: [Hands Of Fate], [Eye of Origins], [Truth Of Explosion], [Sealing Frame], and [Absolute Verbal Contract].
Now, the system +5 meant that Su Yang had six Silver Ability slots. Other than that, he also had a Silver Ability Extraction Voucher. Therefore, he could draw two more Silver Abilities for himself.
After that, the remaining Silver Points could be used to upgrade a few Silver Abilities to see if they could gain any new effects.
At the thought of this, Su Yang did not treat his own situation lightly.
He returned to the study room, picked up the [Lucky Disfiguring Brick] whose cooldown had been completed, and slapped it on his face.
Su Yang, who had already smashed his face countless times, was getting used to it. Even though it still hurt a little, it was a walk in the park for him.
He even wiped his nose, but there was no blood.
As he slapped his face, a countdown appeared on the Lucky Brick.
Su Yang did not dare to waste any time. He quickly bought three Guardian Talismans from the shop and stuck them on his forehead.
As the Guardian Talisman was pasted on him, Su Yang felt a few lights flashing before his eyes. There were four colors—red, orange, green, and blue. When he came back to his senses, the Guardian Talisman had already disappeared. In the mirror, he was like Janet, glowing with a faint red light, looking extremely festive.
After using the Guardian Talisman, Su Yang clicked on the semi-transparent [+] symbol above his head.
[Are you sure you want to add a fifth point for your personal special ability? The failure rate of adding a fifth point will increase. If you fail, all the Silver Points added will be cleared.]
[Yes].
Following Su Yang and Su Yang’s confirmation, a silvery-white box appeared in front of him like the last time. There were three words written on the box: [Draw one].
