King of Industry

  Chapter 769 You think too simply

   When Zhao Guoyang listened to Jin Xiuzhu's detailed narration at the "Daewoo Group" hotel, he realized how serious the situation has become.

  Now the South Korean government has started a comprehensive crackdown on the "Daewoo Group". In addition to suspending bank loans, the South Korean government has also completely terminated the purchase of "Daewoo Motors" in terms of automobiles.

  In terms of industries such as ideas, communications, and construction, the South Korean government has also introduced policies one after another, leaning towards the "Hyundai Group" and "Samsung Group" it controls.

  Although it is not as "one size fits all" as the auto industry, the signs of "Daewoo Group" being suppressed in China are very obvious.

  In addition, regarding the shipbuilding industry, the South Korean government forcibly dug out a large order from the "Daewoo Group" and handed it over to the "Hyundai Group" for handling.

   It can be said that the building of "Daewoo Group" is now precarious and may collapse at any time.

  With such a dangerous situation, it is no wonder that Jin Xiuzhu was so distraught.

  After listening to Jin Xiuzhu's story, Zhao Guoyang handed her a tissue in a considerate manner and said, "Miss Xiuzhu, don't be too sad, everything will be resolved!"

  When Zhao Guoyang said this, Jin Xiuzhu felt even more uncomfortable.

  She glanced at the balcony outside the presidential suite in a daze, thinking about the uncertain future of "Daewoo Group", tears fell like pearls.

   Zhao Guoyang had no choice but to wink at Bai Rou, who was silent at the side, to comfort her naturally.

   Who knew that Bai Rou solemnly shook her head, and at the same time pointed to the balcony, meaning: I'll go out to get some air first, and you and Miss Xiuzhu can talk slowly!

  The "tick" sound of the balcony door finally caught Jin Xiuzhu's attention.

   Seeing Bai Rou who was already standing far away, she couldn't hold back any longer, and threw herself on Zhao Guoyang's shoulder and began to cry.

   Zhao Guoyang had no choice but to pat Jin Xiuzhu on the shoulder lightly to comfort Bai Jie.

"Guoyang, what should I do now? My father just called me and told me to prepare to go abroad at any time. According to what he said, we at the 'Daewoo Group' may have to transfer electronics, communications, etc. The business was packaged and sold to the South Korean government..."

  After hearing this, Zhao Guoyang frowned.

  He was silent for a while, and said in a solemn tone: "Xiuzhu, if you 'Daewoo Group' really do this, you will really fall into the other party's trap."

When Jin Xiuzhu heard this, she raised her head in confusion, looked at Zhao Guoyang and said, "Guoyang, why do you think so? Ideas, communications and other businesses, although the profits in our 'Daewoo Group' are quite considerable , but in terms of importance, it is definitely not as good as the automobile and ship business.”

   "Even under the pressure of the South Korean government, transferring it to the two wolves of 'Hyundai' and 'Samsung' will definitely not be considered a heavy loss for our group."

   "As long as the two major manufacturing businesses of automobiles and ships are preserved, as well as foreign trade and financial businesses, our Daewoo Group will still have strong competitiveness..."

  Hearing this, Zhao Guoyang shook his head firmly and said, "No, Xiuzhu, your thinking is too simple."

   "In fact, the current situation is very obvious. The South Korean government and the South Korean government-controlled enterprises headed by the 'Hyundai Group' will not easily let you 'Daewoo Group' go."

   "Even if you transfer your communication and electronic projects to 'Hyundai' and 'Samsung', what should you do if the South Korean government doesn't lift the blockade against you?"

Speaking of this, Zhao Guoyang emphasized his tone: "Xiuzhu, if I'm not wrong, the South Korean government imposed sanctions and a complete blockade on your 'Daewoo Group'. It should be a certain product of your 'Daewoo Automobile'. Have some security risks or loopholes?"

  Hearing Zhao Guoyang's question, Jin Xiuzhu was so startled that she almost fell to the ground.

  Seeing her expression, Zhao Guoyang knew that his guess was pretty close.

Facing Kim Soo-joo's puzzled look, he smiled easily and said, "You haven't said anything about it, Soo-joo, but it's still easy to guess. After all, no matter how powerful the South Korean government and the 'Hyundai Group' are, it's impossible for them to miss out." To take such punishment measures against you 'Daewoo Group' for no reason..."

   Seeing Zhao Guoyang's analysis, as if seeing it with his own eyes, Jin Xiuzhu's face revealed a look of shock.

Gently brushing her loose hair, she said in a low voice: "Guoyang, you are right. Our 'Daewoo Group' launched a new model 'Carlos' 1.5T a year ago, because For some unexpected reasons, the phenomenon of 'burning engine oil' suddenly appeared in a certain batch."

   “Coincidentally, this batch happened to be on the South Korean government’s procurement list.”

Jin Xiuzhu said with blank eyes: "In this way, the South Korean government can be regarded as finding an excuse. They refused to accept all of our batch of 3,000 'Carlos', and gave our 'Daewoo Motors' a fine. Huge fines in the hundreds of millions of dollars."

   "This amount is almost equal to the profit of our Daewoo Motors last year..."

  Seeing that Jin Xiuzhu seemed excited again, Zhao Guoyang patted her on the shoulder lightly to show comfort.

Jin Xiuzhu slowed down, and then continued: "Facing the blatant suppression by the South Korean government, my father certainly will not sit still. He went to the Congress in person and wanted to meet the president to explain it, but he was kicked out before he even entered. .”

   "Subsequently, the South Korean government began to completely block all products under our "Daewoo Group" for various reasons."

"Right now, the sales of 'Daewoo Motors', 'Daewoo Shipbuilding' and 'Daewoo Heavy Industries' under our group have been restricted in the domestic market, waiting for a comprehensive inspection by the government's quality inspection department. President Li Duochun is Avoiding seeing my father, not even giving us a chance to explain..."

   "Probably the situation is basically like this."

  After listening to Jin Xiuzhu's statement, Zhao Guoyang nodded and said: "Well, Li Duochun's approach is a bit too obvious, it's really unnecessary, and it's too petty!"

   "However, this method is indeed effective. There is no way to communicate with the South Korean government to explain it. Now we have nothing to do."

  Jin Xiuzhu said annoyedly: "Guoyang, I'm not afraid of your jokes. Li Duochun's resoluteness may also have something to do with my rejection of his son's marriage proposal."

   "I knew this person was so vengeful. When I refused, I should have been more tactful, instead of putting on such a high profile. I...I really hate myself!"

Hearing Jin Xiuzhu's annoyed words, Zhao Guoyang said with a slight smile: "Xiuzhu, don't take your South Korean president too seriously. Let me tell you, this Li Duochun is so determined to suppress the domestic Entrepreneur, his results are definitely not much better."

  Jin Xiuzhu was taken aback by Zhao Guoyang's words, and when she turned her head to look at him, her eyes were stunned.

Before she could ask a question, Zhao Guoyang waved his hand quickly, and changed the topic: "Okay, Xiuzhu. Now you expose what's wrong with this 'Carlos' of your 'Daewoo Motors', and talk to me well." Tell me one or two, let me see if there is a remedy!"

   "It's the abnormal engine oil!" Jin Xiuzhu said with some frustration.

"Just a week ago, a 'Carlos' car owner in Seoul claimed that the car he picked up at our 'Daewoo Motors' dealer had only driven 1,100 kilometers, and he found that the engine oil had increased, and the oil value had exceeded the scale line of the oil dipstick. 25 to 35 millimeters."

   "Then he immediately drove to the 4S store of Daewoo Motors located in Gangnam, Seoul for inspection, and found problems of cylinder explosion and misfire. However, our staff did not find any problems after inspection."

  "Because the inspection did not find any problems, the owner proposed to change or return the car, but we rejected it."

   Speaking of this, Jin Xiuzhu was frustrated for a while: "At first, I thought this incident was not a big deal, it was just an accidental phenomenon. Who knows, there are more than a dozen vehicles on the South Korean government side, all of which have such problems."

   "This time, our Daewoo Group was instantly passive."

   After listening to Jin Xiuzhu briefly explain the situation, Zhao Guoyang basically came to his senses.

   Needless to say, this car of "Daewoo Motors" should have certain technical defects, and unfortunately it was found out by its competitor "Hyundai Group".

   Otherwise, it would be impossible to expose so many cars with the same problem at the same time.

   Wanting to understand this, Zhao Guoyang immediately asked: "Xiuzhu, has the technical department of your 'Daewoo Motors' conducted a comprehensive dismantling and analysis of this car? Have you found any problems?"

After hearing this, Jin Xiuzhu quickly nodded and explained: "This is for sure! At the headquarters, our technicians have disassembled three complete vehicles and analyzed them. However, until now, we have not Find out what's wrong."

   "So, you suspect that this is a trick played by the South Korean government and the 'Hyundai Group'?" Zhao Guoyang asked with a smile.

   "Otherwise, what else could be going on?"

  Jin Xiuzhu gritted her teeth fiercely and said: "The chairman of Hyundai Group, the old man Zheng Xianyong, with his small eyes squinting, he knew it was not a good thing. If he didn't design to harm us, how could such a thing happen?"

  Seeing Jin Xiuzhu's expression of hatred to the bone, Zhao Guoyang couldn't help but laugh: "Xiuzhu, you have no evidence now, and there is nothing you can do to take Chairman Zheng."

"The most urgent thing is to find out what's wrong with your 'Carlos'. Moreover, you must give a definite solution to the problem. Then, carry out an investigation on all the vehicles of the same model that have already been sold. Recall processing."

   "Remember, the action must be fast, and you must occupy the commanding heights of public opinion!"

  After listening to Zhao Guoyang's narration, Jin Xiuzhu said in a daze: "Guoyang, I can agree with what you said about the recall, but... do you think there is something wrong with our car itself?"
