  Chapter 767 The crisis of Daewoo Group

   Zhao Guoyang personally cooks the preserved egg and lean meat porridge. The taste is naturally unquestionable. Bai Rou almost bit her tongue.

   This person drank three bowls in a row before stopping. Even Zhao Guoyang was a little staggered by the amount of food.

  After the two had eaten and drank enough, Zhao Guoyang originally planned to send her to the hotel.

  But Bai Rou was too tired after a long day's journey, so she proposed to spend the night in the room prepared by Zhao Guoyang for her sister.

  They don't care about a woman, of course Zhao Guoyang is not good at sending her away by force, so he can only nod and agree.

  Backing back to his room, Zhao Guoyang was just about to cover himself with the quilt and go to sleep when the "big brother" next to him suddenly rang.

  Zhao Guoyang picked up the phone and said listlessly: "Hi, I'm Zhao Guoyang!"

   "Guoyang, I'm Jin Xiuzhu..." A familiar female voice came from the other end of the phone.

   Hearing that it was Miss Jin, Zhao Guoyang couldn't help being a little surprised.

  In the past year, due to the happy cooperation with "Xingtai International", the "Daewoo Foreign Trade Company" and "Daewoo Shipbuilding Company" controlled by Jin Xiuzhu have achieved good results.

   This eldest lady is also very satisfied with her cooperation with Zhao Guoyang.

  Because Huaxia has formally established diplomatic relations with South Korea, when Zhao Guoyang decided to engage in the "ship manufacturing industry", he thought about contacting Miss Jin to see if she had any intention of cooperation.

   But later, because of the capital investment of the "Shagang Group" and the strong support of Mayor Huang, Zhao Guoyang gradually stopped thinking about it.

   Now that Jin Xiuzhu is so late, but suddenly a phone call comes over, Zhao Guoyang is naturally a little puzzled.

  He coughed, and slowly said: "Miss Xiuzhu, is there something important to look for me so late?"

   Originally, Zhao Guoyang felt that with Jin Xiuzhu's temperament, he would definitely say with a proud face: "There is nothing important, I just want to chat with you."

   Who knew that just after he asked this question, Jin Xiuzhu on the opposite side spoke a little bit like weeping.

   "Guo... Guoyang, our Daewoo Group is in big trouble!"

   "A few days ago, our South Korean government suddenly announced that government vehicles will no longer be purchased from our Daewoo Group starting in January. Now only the 'Hyundai Group' is left as the only designated car manufacturer."

   Kim Soo-joo whimpered and said, "Father's hair has turned gray because of this matter, and he has spent a lot of effort preparing to open up relations with the South Korean government."

   "But the result is that there is no room for maneuver at all. There have even been rumors that the South Korean government is going to cut off our Daewoo Group's loan business..."

  After hearing this, Zhao Guoyang's eyes gradually became more serious, and he said: "Xiuzhu, don't worry, tell me about the situation..."

After listening to Zhao Guoyang's comfort, Jin Xiuzhu breathed lightly and said: "Guoyang, you should also know that the reason why our 'Daewoo Group' is expanding so fast is largely due to several major domestic banks. loan financing."

   "At present, my father is still communicating with the presidents of several major banks, saying that they want to sell the overseas branches of the group to repay part of the loan..."

  After listening to Jin Xiuzhu's narration, Zhao Guoyang gradually understood in his heart.

   Needless to say, the sudden failure of the "Daewoo Group" in China must have something to do with its biggest competitor, the "Hyundai Group".

  Because of its relatively strong official background, although the "Hyundai Group" is a rising star, it has caught up with and surpassed the "Daewoo Group" with an extremely fast development speed.

  In recent years, there has been a trend of widening the gap.

  However, because of the good relationship between Kim Soo-joo and himself, "Daewoo Group" has made good progress in some projects since last year, and finally stabilized the decline.

As for the "Hyundai Group", because of several times of sniping, in the acquisition of "SJ Mining Machinery Equipment Factory" and the acquisition of "Skoda Corporation" shares, they encountered Waterloo in succession, which led to a slowdown in the upward momentum. Quite a lot.

  The ebb and flow of these two major companies naturally made the top management of the "Hyundai Group" gradually pay more attention to the "Daewoo Group", a rival that they had never cared about.

  Now the South Korean government's sudden suppression of the "Daewoo Group" is undoubtedly to force it to give up its confrontation with the "Hyundai Group", and even think about merging it into the "Hyundai Group".

   Such an idea is probably first spread from the "Hyundai Group" to the South Korean government.

  As for the "Daewoo Group", its foundation has not been stable because of its overspread.

  As long as the loan is stopped, there will be big problems.

   On this point, Zhao Guoyang actually warned Jin Xiuzhu the first time, and Miss Jin also deeply agreed with Zhao Guoyang's point of view.

   Unfortunately, Jin Xiuzhu is not the chairman of the "Daewoo Group" after all, and her father Jin Yuzhong is a headstrong person, so of course he will not easily listen to his daughter's opinions.

  Now the South Korean government and the "Hyundai Group" are colluding, and with a sudden effort, the "Daewoo Group" is suddenly facing the danger of a cliff.

  After thinking through the cause and effect of the matter, Zhao Guoyang's previous worries gradually faded away.

  The reason is very simple. It is dangerous if you don’t know the opponent’s crisis; but now, you already know that the opponent is the "Modern Group", so there is nothing to worry about.

   To talk about the weakness of the behemoth "Modern Group", others may not be clear about it, but Zhao Guoyang, who has two lifetimes of experience, is very clear about it.

  With the support of "Daewoo Group", Zhao Guoyang is fully confident to challenge this behemoth, and it is even possible to make it suffer greatly as long as it is planned properly.

   Wanting to understand this, Zhao Guoyang calmly said to Jin Xiuzhu: "Xiuzhu, I already know about the matter."

   "How about this, I will try to fly to Seoul tomorrow to meet with you, and discuss with you what should be done next, do you think it will work?"

   "Good, good, great, Guoyang!"

  Jin Xiuzhu cried and laughed, "I knew it, Guoyang, you will definitely not ignore me. Let me know immediately after you buy your ticket tomorrow, and I will go to the airport to pick you up in person!"

  Zhao Guoyang said with a "huh": "Yes, no problem! By the way, Miss Xiuzhu, I may bring a friend there tomorrow, who is also my business partner..."

  Jin Xiuzhu was even more delighted when she heard the words: "Welcome, welcome! Guoyang, just come here, I'll wait for your call anytime!"

   After comforting Jin Xiuzhu a few more words, Zhao Guoyang hung up the phone after she calmed down.

  After putting down the phone, Zhao Guoyang's eyes gradually narrowed.

   "After being reborn into this world, it seems that this modern group acts much more arrogantly than in the previous life. In this way, you may have made many enemies, right?"

   "This time, there is such a good opportunity in front of you, and you must let it hurt."

  …

  The next morning, Zhao Guoyang got up early to make breakfast.

  Bai Rou in the next room may have heard the sound of ding ding dong dong in the kitchen, and got up soon after.

Sleepy-eyed Bai Rou entered the kitchen, and seeing Zhao Guoyang who was busy, she couldn't help asking, "Guoyang, why are you waking up so early in Chinese New Year's Eve? You can just eat a little breakfast, don't you want to eat it at night?" Do you want to have New Year's Eve dinner with your uncle and aunt?"

Hearing this, Zhao Guoyang said awkwardly: "Well, sister Bai, tonight's New Year's Eve dinner must not be eaten, and even the lunch meal may not be eaten. So breakfast, let's make it bigger ..."

  Bai Rou was stunned when she heard the words, and suddenly thought of something, her face turned pale.

  She suppressed the thoughts in her heart and forced a smile: "What's the matter, are you going to have a New Year's Eve dinner at your girlfriend's house tonight? It's okay, I'll just go back to the hotel and deal with it myself?"

As soon as Zhao Guoyang thought about it, he knew that Miss Bai would be wrong, so he quickly waved his hands and said, "Hey, I'm so busy, I don't have time to find a girlfriend! I can't have the New Year's Eve dinner tonight because we're going to I'm going to the SJ City Airport to fly abroad!"

  After hearing this, Bai Rou was petrified on the spot.

  She opened her mouth wide, and said falteringly: "What, you're going to SJ again? Going abroad? It's New Year's Eve, Guoyang, are you right?"

  Zhao Guoyang said very seriously: "There is no mistake, it is like this! Besides, I am not going alone, you have to go with me, Sister Bai!"

  Bai Rou didn't hear clearly what Zhao Guoyang said just now, but after she understood now, she was naturally even more surprised.

  She stared at Zhao Guoyang with wide-eyed eyes for a while, and then said: "Guoyang, what are you doing? Are you busy and confused these days? How can anyone go abroad on New Year's Eve!"

Zhao Guoyang knew that this matter would not be finished for a while, so he pointed at Bai Rou and said, "Sister Bai, don't ask so many questions. We are in a hurry. I asked Teacher Zhang Yufang. Today, only The first flight is to South Korea, at one o'clock in the afternoon."

   "You wash up first and then have breakfast. Let's go on the road immediately. If there is any problem, I will explain it to you slowly on the way!"

  Bai Rou was lured into the bathroom by Zhao Guoyang, and after a while in a daze, she finally started to enter the state.

  At seven o'clock in the morning, Zhao Guoyang and Bai Rou finally cleaned up.

  After sitting in the car, Bai Rou finally couldn't hold back, and began to ask Zhao Guoyang.

   "Guoyang, what's going on? You just said that you want to go abroad to South Korea? But we didn't even apply for the visa!"

   Seeing Bai Rou's unbelievable look, Zhao Guoyang smiled and waved his hands: "Don't worry about this, I have been to South Korea before, and I have already applied for a visa."

   "On your side, because of the special situation, I asked Mayor Huang's secretary to do a little favor for a special case. After we arrive in SJ City, we will probably be able to handle it similarly."
