Xu Xian was so angry that he choked twice: "You... cough cough."

"Okay, tell me what's wrong with you?"

Zhou Wenhai stopped teasing her.

"Can you stop recording that show?"

Xu Xian's tone sounded aggrieved and humble.

"Okay, I won't be recording any more shows after I come back from Japan."

"Really?"

"Yes, there will be a lot of things in the society that I have to deal with, and I don't have time to record programs anymore."

"yes."

...

In May, the weather gradually becomes hotter.

On the 8th, the Japanese government suddenly announced without warning that it would tighten controls on three types of semiconductor industry raw materials exported to South Korea.

In the afternoon of the same day, the ruling party urgently met with the leaders of the opposition parties at the Blue House to discuss plans to deal with Japan's trade restrictions. This is the first time in a year and four months that the ruling party has invited the leaders of the opposition parties to visit the Blue House. It is also the first time that Hwang Kyo-ahn, the leader of the largest opposition Liberty Korea Party, has met to discuss state affairs.

The cause of this incident was that the South Korean Supreme Court announced last year that Nippon Steel \u0026 Sumitomo Metal Corporation and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries should pay for the wages and compensation of Korean laborers who were brought to Japan by the Japanese during World War II. In January and March this year, the South Korean assets of Nippon Steel \u0026 Sumitomo Metal Corporation and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries were seized.

On the 10th, Katsuhiro Kuroda, former director of the Sankei Shimbun's Seoul branch, wrote a satirical special report, accusing Koreans of not being grateful because the Korean economy depends on Japan.

All of a sudden, the anger of the Korean people was completely ignited. Starting from Gwangju Metropolitan City, citizens spontaneously set off a wave of boycotting Japanese products. Major department stores, small and medium-sized shopping malls and supermarkets began to remove more than 100 kinds of Japanese products. All shops in the city have removed cigarettes imported from Japan.

On the 11th, in the face of this situation, Zhou Wenhai ordered the Five Star Group to clear all Japanese products in Five Star Department Stores and duty-free shops, and to sell the products under his club at a 20% price reduction.

Throughout May, the five-star group benefited the most from the boycott of Japanese goods, and the Lotte group suffered the most. The market value of the five-star group increased by about 600 billion won in this month alone, while the market value of the Lotte group evaporated. about 1 trillion won.

The turmoil in May did not calm down in June, but intensified. The two sides evolved from the labor issue to the issue of comfort women and land issues. South Korea and Japan both claimed Dokdo (Takeshima) as their national territory .

Yangpyeong-gun, Gyeonggi-do

The factory project in Yangpyeong County was completed first, and Zhou Wenhai organized relevant departments to inspect and accept the factory.

"Master President."

While Zhou Wenhai and others were inspecting the factory, Park Zhouyong ran over from nowhere.

"President Park, what's the matter with you?"

Although Zhou Wenhai said that he wanted to see Park Joo-young after Kim Hee-sun left last time, he never had time.

"Master President, I was really confused about what happened last time. Please forgive me."

Park Zhouyong knelt down in front of Zhou Wenhai and begged in front of everyone.

"President Park, what are you doing, get up quickly."

Zhou Wenhai pretended to be kind and went to help him.

"Master President, please forgive me."

Park Zhouyong kept his head down and refused to get up.

Zhou Wenhai whispered to Jin Xiujun beside him, "Xiujun, take out your phone and take some photos."

"yes."

Kim Soo Joon took out his mobile phone and took a photo of Park Joo Yong kneeling in front of Zhou Wenhai.

"President Park, let's talk slowly if we have something to say, you should get up first."

Liu Zongxiu and Han Dongzhu forcibly pulled Park Juyong up, and Zhou Wenhai asked him to go to the conference room of the Samsung C\u0026T project department to wait for him.

After inspecting the factory, Zhou Wenhai took David Yin back to the conference room of the Samsung C\u0026T project department. The weather was hot and the conference room was air-conditioned. Park Zhouyong knelt in front of him again.

"Master President, please forgive me."

Park Joo-young repeated only one sentence.

"President Park, the court's verdict has come out, it's useless if you beg me."

Zhou Wenhai said with a hidden knife in his smile.

"Master President, I really can't afford the 10 billion compensation, please let me go, otherwise I will have to die."

"President Yin, what do you think?"

Zhou Wenhai turned to Yin Dawei.

"Master President, I have no right to make this decision."

David Yin passed the ball back again.

"How long until the office towers and schools are finished?"

"According to the current progress, the office building will take at least four months, and the school will take about one more month."

David Yin replied.

"President Park, how about this, I will give you 2 months, if you complete the construction of the office building and the school within 2 months with quality and quantity, then you don't have to pay back the 10 billion. I will pay you as usual."

In order to finish the office building quickly, Zhou Wenhai could only forcefully put pressure on Park Zhouyong.

Park Zhouyong silently calculated in his mind. If he followed Zhou Wenhai's statement, his club would hardly make any money, and even had to fill in a small part of it, but this was better than paying a net 10 billion won.

"Yes, Mr. President, don't worry, I will definitely complete this task even if I work hard."

Park Zhouyong kowtowed to Zhou Wenhai and said.

"President Yin, you are in charge of supervising President Park. If there is a problem with the quality, I will definitely not spare you."

"yes."

Yin Dawei also bears part of the responsibility for the Park Zhouyong incident. He didn't dare to say anything more and could only agree to it. The construction period was shortened by half, which meant that the labor and machinery had to be doubled, and the construction at night could not be stopped. 24 hours of construction work in rotation.

"President Park, if you do a good job this time, I will subcontract another part of the project for you on the affordable housing side."

The construction progress on the affordable housing side also needs to be accelerated. Zhou Wenhai plans to use the office building as an experiment first to see if it works to speed up the construction.

Seongnam

On the second day after returning from Yangping County, Zhou Wenhai convened a meeting with the executives of the company. The central theme of the meeting was the relocation of the factory.

"The factory project in Yangpyeong County passed the inspection and acceptance yesterday. President Yin and I personally went to the site to inspect and accept it one by one. All the clubs involved in the factory's production will mobilize everyone to prepare for the relocation of the factory after we go back today."

Zhou Wenhai first briefly explained the current situation in Yangping County and what they need to do first.

"Master President, what should we do with the current factory after we move out?"

Pei Jiaen got up and asked.

"President Pei, the development momentum of your five-star life club is very good. The factories here in Seoul can't stop. You can recruit people again after you arrive in Yangpyeong County. Five-star food club and five-star home furnishing club need to be relocated to Yangpyeong county. During the relocation process, everyone has to decide how to relocate based on the actual production needs. I don’t think I need to arrange for you again for such a simple matter, right?”

"yes."

Pei Jiaen answered first, and then Vice President Huang of the Five Star Food Club and Li Zonghao of the Five Star Home Furnishing Club also got up and answered.

"President Han, you can start selecting a location for the five-star department store in Yangpyeong County, and we will start construction after the selection is made."

The reason why the five-star department store was not started together with other projects was that Zhou Wenhai was considering building an ecological business district, so he had to wait until the construction of affordable housing began before gradually laying out the layout.

"yes."

"Minister Han, please make an appointment with Xu Minjing, the president of Amorepacific Group, for me tomorrow. I will go to Su Lan Cosmetics Club in person to discuss with her about the relocation of the factory."

Zhou Wenhai said to Han Jingen.

"yes."

"Minister Luo, after you come down, you will help Shirley Xi to draft an official letter from our club. The general content of the official letter is to invite those clubs that have signed contracts with us to relocate their factories to start preparing for the factory relocation starting today, and the time limit is 30 days. "

"yes."

Minister Luo, head of the personnel department and secretary office, answered.

"yes."

Cui Xueli then replied.

"Everyone, now is the time for us to show our talents. A bright future is waving to us, you know?"

At the end of the meeting, Zhou Wenhai did not forget to cheer everyone up.

"yes."

Everyone stood up and answered in unison.

After the meeting, Xu Junji came to Zhou Wenhai's office alone.

"Wen Hai, are you free at noon?"

Xu Junji asked with a silly smile.

"Do you want to have lunch together?"

Zhou Wenhai stopped signing, and he put down his pen to ask.

"Yes, take you to meet my girlfriend as I told you last time."

When it comes to girlfriend, Xu Junji is a little embarrassed.

"Okay, Brother Junji, wait for me."

Zhou Wenhai couldn't help laughing when he saw Xu Junji like that. After he signed all the documents that required his signature, he gave the folder to Cui Xueli.

"Brother Junji, where do we have lunch?"

"At Shilla Hotel."

"Okay, then I'll ask President Li if he's free."

Zhou Wenhai didn't want to have dinner with Xu Junji and his wife alone, so he sent a message to Li Fuzhen asking if he was free at noon, Li Fuzhen replied that he was free, so he asked her to have lunch with them at noon.

Central District, Seoul

At Shilla Hotel, Xu Junji went to the western restaurant to wait for Kim Jae-yoon, and Zhou Wenhai took the elevator directly to Li Fuzhen's office.

"President Li, are you done?"

Zhou Wenhai came across to Li Fuzhen, and he sat down naturally.

"Yes, immediately."

Li Fuzhen is still reading the contract carefully.

A few minutes later, Li Fuzhen put down the contract. She raised her head and said to Zhou Wenhai with a smile: "President Zhou, all right, let's go."

"yes."

The two took the elevator to the western restaurant together again, when Kim Jae-yoon had arrived.

Zhou Wenhai carefully watched the woman sitting opposite Xu Junji. She was indeed about the same age as Xu Junji, and she was dressed very fashionable, but her appearance was indeed ordinary, but not ugly.

"Wen Hai, this is my girlfriend Kim Jae Yoon xi" Xu Junji got up and explained to Zhou Wenhai first, and then he said to Kim Jae Yun, "Ja Yoon, this is Zhou Wenhai from our Five Star Group President."

"Hello, President Zhou."

Kim Jae Yoon said with a smile that the wrinkles on her face were more obvious when she laughed, no wonder she would stalk Seo Jun Ki.

"Hello, please allow me to call you sister-in-law."

Zhou Wenhai's words made Jin Zaiyun laugh out loud, "Yes."

"In Yunxi, long time no see."

It was Li Fuzhen's turn to say hello to Kim Jaeyun.

"Yes, Ernie, long time no see."

Through Li Xuxian's relationship, Kim Jae-yoon and Li Fuzhen have met many times, and the other party calls her a sister.

When the dishes came to the table, Xu Junji cut and fed steaks for Kim Jaeyun in a gentlemanly manner, Zhou Wenhai got goosebumps watching.

"Chairman Zhou, why don't you unite with the Blue House and other clubs to suppress the Lotte Group at such a good opportunity?"

Li Fuzhen and Kim Jaeyun had nothing in common, and she couldn't see Xu Junji showing affection in front of them, she looked at Zhou Wenhai and asked.

"President Li, now is not the time."

Zhou Wenhai did not show any intention of suppressing the Lotte Group at this time. He knew that the trade war between Japan and South Korea would not help him completely defeat the Lotte Group. He was waiting for news from Park Sun-woo.

"I'm afraid that if you miss this opportunity, it will be difficult for you to meet such a good opportunity again."

Faced with Li Fuzhen's reminder again, Zhou Wenhai smiled calmly and said, "No, President Li, let's wait and see patiently."

"Chairman Zhou, I heard that you took the initiative to buy Hana Daily, is that right?"

Kim Jae-yun asked after taking a sip of red wine.

"yes."

"I don't know, President Zhou, are you interested in the newspaper industry or do you have other plans?"

Xu Junji waited until Kim Jae-yoon finished speaking, and said, "Wen Hai, Jae-yoon works for Dong-A Ilbo."

"Yes, in fact, the profit of the newspaper industry is not very high. We all know this. The reason why I bought Hana Ilbo was because I had a feud with JoongAng Ilbo before, so I needed a newspaper to fight them for me."

After Zhou Wenhai mentioned the Central Daily, he remembered the relationship between Li Fuzhen and the Hong family. He glanced at each other, and Li Fuzhen looked as usual.

"Since this is the case, are you willing to cooperate with our Dong-A Ilbo?"

"Sister-in-law, how do you want to cooperate?"

Zhou Wenhai was quite interested in what she said.

"Let Dong-A Ilbo and Hana Ilbo merge. After the merger of the two newspapers, the management and management of the two newspapers will still be in the charge of our Dong-A Ilbo. We can discuss the shareholding ratio later. Chairman Zhou, what do you think?"

JoongAng Ilbo, Dong-A Ilbo, and Chosun Ilbo have been merged into the three major newspapers in South Korea, and Hana Ilbo is inferior to the above three newspapers.

"Of course, we can discuss this matter in detail even for Junji's sake."

"Yes, then let's discuss this matter together after I contact our president, shall we?"

"yes."

The president of Dong-A Ilbo is Kim Jae-ho, and Zhou Wenhai really wants to meet him.

After lunch, Xu Junji and Kim Jae-yoon were going to watch a movie and go shopping in the afternoon. Zhou Wenhai followed Li Fuzhen to her office for tea.

"President Li, are you familiar with Kim Jae-yoon?"

When there were only the two of them, Zhou Wenhai asked.

"No, it's just because of Xu Xian's relationship that we have met many times."

Li Fuzhen answered truthfully.

"Yes, then based on your contact with her, do you think she is suitable for our brother Junji?"

"That's it. I heard that Jae Yun had a marriage when she was young, but she got divorced after a short period of time. She can be regarded as the number two person in Dong-A Ilbo, so her abilities are pretty good."

Li Fuzhen commented pertinently.

"Yes, then I'm relieved."

Zhou Wenhai said with a smile.

"President Zhou, what are you worried about?"

"Give Junki brother to Kim Jae-yoon, I don't worry."

"Haha..." Li Fuzhen was amused all of a sudden, "I didn't expect President Zhou and President Xu to have such a good relationship."

"Yes, we are as good as brothers."
