Reborn Russia As An Oligarch

"May I ask why Chairman Lee Jae-young comes to Moscow? Does Samsung have any big projects to be launched here, but I don't seem to have heard about it."

Wang Ye pondered for a moment and asked.

Park Changsheng quickly and respectfully replied: "The main purpose of the chairman's visit this time is to meet with you and discuss the possibility of some investment projects landing in Russia."

Samsung's branch in Damao has been established for a long time, but it does not do much business. In addition to selling some Samsung electronic products, such as mobile phones, TVs, laptops, MP3s, digital cameras, etc., it does not have any physical projects. All products are It's imported.

At this time, Samsung is already very large in scale and has a great brand reputation. It does almost everything, and it does it well...

From what Park Changsheng said, Samsung was planning to increase its investment in Russia. Li Zairong came to visit Wang Ye. The purpose was naturally to go to the top and apply for some preferential policies for the company's large projects.

This is normal. After all, Damao's economy has developed very rapidly in recent years, and its population base is not low, so it can be considered a relatively large market.

If Samsung wants to further develop here, it is necessary to invest and build factories locally.

And the big hair at this time is also very suitable for investment.

The economy is developing rapidly, the population is huge, industrial land is cheap, and investment policies are favorable...

These are the first things that foreign businessmen must consider when investing here.

Perhaps Samsung is the first foreign giant to plan to invest on a large scale, but it will definitely not be the last!

Moreover, if Samsung's investment goes smoothly, many foreign-funded companies that are still waiting may flock to it. In a sense, Samsung's investment this time is still very representative.

Wang Ye will also pay some attention to it and try his best to promote Samsung's investment.

So he said readily: "I very much welcome Chairman Lee Jae-young's visit. I will lead colleagues from the Economic Affairs Committee and staff from the government's commerce department to meet with him. Of course, if necessary, we can also invite Gram The palace and relevant departments of the Moscow city are involved.”

Park Changsheng was overjoyed and quickly bowed to express his gratitude, saying that he would definitely convey Chairman Mikhail's wishes to Chairman Li and so on...

To be honest, Li Zairong chose to meet Wang Ye this time. It means that he has the foresight and knows "which Buddha" he should worship first when he comes to Russia for development!

I won’t talk about other aspects, but only about business. The one who has the most say or the most real power is undoubtedly Wang Ye!

As long as it can get Wang Ye's approval and nod, Samsung's next investment will definitely go smoothly and will not encounter any obstacles.

But if the investment does not get Wang Ye's permission, even if anyone else nods, it may not have any effect...

…………

After Park Changsheng went out, Wang Ye picked up the phone and called Nova, asking her to collect information about Samsung Group and several important figures in the Samsung Li family, and he wanted to take a look.

Although Wang Ye was not very interested in the Samsung Group and the Li family in his previous life, he still recognized the strength of this company.

After all, there are two sentences, "South Korea is small, but Samsung is big" and "The three things Koreans cannot avoid when they are born are tax, death, and Samsung." This has fully explained the strength and strength of Samsung Group. Energy.

Some people who don’t know much about Samsung may think that Samsung only operates mobile phones and electronic products, but in fact, this company can do almost everything!

In South Korea, Samsung Group's business scope covers people's clothing, food, housing and transportation, from screws to cars and buildings. There is no business that Samsung Group does not intervene in.

It has 230,000 employees in 68 countries around the world, with an annual turnover of more than 200 billion US dollars, accounting for 21% of South Korea's total GDP. It can be said that it is a rich country!

Of course, when Samsung Group has reached its current scale, its real ownership structure has become extremely complicated. It is no longer the Samsung of the Li family, or it is not just the Samsung of the Li family.

A considerable part of the shares are controlled by European and American capital. Most of the profits Samsung earns every year are distributed to foreign shareholders, and only a small part remains in South Korea.

But at least on the surface, the actual control of Samsung Group is still in the hands of the Li family, and the core executives are also direct relatives of the Li family.

If such a chaebol company invests in most countries, it will receive a warm welcome.

However, in front of Wang Ye, the Li family's face is not that great. After all, Li Zairong and Wang Ye are incomparable in every aspect.

Let’s not talk about power and status, that’s not the same dimension at all!

Even if it's just about wealth, Wang Ye's net worth alone can beat the entire Li family...

That's why Li Zairong kept his attitude so low. He wanted to visit Wang Ye and asked someone to make an appointment in advance, hoping to be received by Wang Ye.

…………

After Nova collected all the information about Samsung and the Li family, Wang Ye read it carefully and had a clear understanding of the current Samsung and Li family.

In 2006, Samsung was already a world-famous giant company, and its business scope was astonishingly large. Even the most cutting-edge technology wafer factories were involved. It seemed that its ambitions were not small.

Li Zairong has served as the vice chairman of the group, presiding over the daily affairs of the group, and is basically the real head of the family.

Because he is an only son, Li Zairong's "succession" path is extremely smooth. He has been trained as the successor of the group since he was born. He also studied in Japan and the United States and received a doctorate. He has a stable personality and is low-key and pragmatic.

After returning to China, he joined the Samsung Group and was unanimously recognized by everyone. Judging from the current situation, it is estimated that he will be able to officially assume the position of chairman of the group at the latest next year and become a veritable head of Samsung.

As for his three younger sisters, their fate was rather rough.

The eldest sister Li Fuzhen, also known as the "three-star eldest princess", is very beautiful and capable, but she took a detour emotionally. In 1999, she "married" to one of her bodyguards. There was also quite a fuss.

The key is that the bodyguard husband is not only uneducated and has no abilities, he is also quite ugly...

No one knows what the eldest princess Li Fuzhen liked about that person.

The most outrageous thing is that this bodyguard also came to "eat hard". Not only did he often fool around outside after marriage, but he also domestically abused Li Fuzhen when she was pregnant.

It is said that the two have started the legal process to divorce, but the bodyguard Lion opened his mouth and demanded a huge "breakup fee". Now the two are still fighting a lawsuit...

The second sister is relatively low-key and got married early to the son of another plutocratic family, thus leaving the Li family.

As for the third sister...

I won’t go into details because everyone is gone and it’s also because of emotional matters.

It can also be seen from this that just reincarnation is not good enough. There are still many people who have a dismal start and end...

Of course, Wang Ye is not interested in other people's family affairs. He only cares about what kind of big projects Li Zairong will bring during this visit, how big the investment can be, and how many jobs, tax revenue, and GDP growth it can bring to the local area!

At the same time, we must also consider what kind of requests Li Jae-young will make and whether he can provide support...

………………

Li Zairong was still very resolute in his work. Just three days after Park Changsheng visited Wang Ye, he arrived in Moscow in a low-key manner with a few entourages.

Wang Ye appointed a member of the Economic Committee to greet him at the airport.

After all, Lee Jae-rong is not qualified enough for Wang Ye to go to the airport to greet him in person. Even if he serves as the chairman of Samsung Group, he will not be able to do so after he officially takes charge of Samsung, let alone now...

Wang Ye did not deliberately snub Li Zai Rong or give him a show of strength or anything like that. Instead, he followed normal procedures and formally received Li Zai Rong and his party at the Economic Committee Office Building of the Kremlin Palace.

When they met for the first time, Li Zairong obviously did not put on a bad face like he usually did in public, but was smiling broadly. Before Wang Ye came forward, he took the lead, stretched out his hands from a distance, and bowed to him at the same time. Wang Ye said hello.

Wang Ye also smiled and stretched out his hand. After shaking hands warmly, they each introduced the entourage behind them.

On Wang Ye's side are several members of the Economic Committee and his assistant Nova.

On Li Zairong's side, several group executives did not attract Wang Ye's attention, but there was one person who made Wang Ye take a second look.

That is Lee Jae-young’s eldest sister, Lee Fuzhen!

To be honest, Li Fuzhen, who is 36 years old this year, is really not an outstanding beauty in Wang Ye's eyes. After all, he has seen too many beautiful girls.

However, Li Fuzhen still has a good temperament, with bright eyes, red lips and white teeth, and a well-maintained figure. Her pair of red and phoenix eyes add a bit of charm to her.

It can also be called graceful...

When introducing Li Fuzhen, Li Zairong emphasized with a smile, "My sister has long admired the name of Speaker Mikhail, so when she learned that I came to visit you this time, she must come with me, even if she is responsible for the business That is not within the scope of this discussion.”

Li Fuzhen raised the corners of his mouth slightly, showing a standard smile, and bowed to Wang Ye politely to say hello, but he did not take the opportunity to flatter Wang Ye or anything, which made Wang Ye have a better impression of her.

To be honest, if it weren't for Li Fuzhen being a woman, it's hard to say who would have passed the Samsung Group to.

And in terms of ability, Li Fuzhen is much stronger than Li Zaiying. Maybe Samsung Group will develop better in her hands than in Li Zaiying's hands!

Of course, there is no if in reality...

Although Li Fuzhen, a woman, has shown excellent business acumen, she is still marginalized within the Samsung Group. She is currently only in charge of the group's hotel and retail business, and has no involvement in the real core business.

Seeing Li Fuzhen, Wang Ye thought about her emotional experience in the information and felt a little emotional.

Why did such an outstanding lady blindly find such a husband who was not enterprising...

…………

After greetings, everyone came to the conference living room and took their seats.

The Samsung Group's visit this time was a preliminary contact and there was no clear investment project, so neither party made any fanfare. Except for reporters from the national television station and NTV News Channel, there were no other media reporters at the scene.

Oh, in addition, since Wang Ye acquired the NTV television station, NTV reporters have also gained the power to be permanently stationed in the Kremlin and the Duma, and their treatment is basically on par with that of national television.

In the past, this kind of treatment was something they wouldn't have dared to imagine...

Of course, this was also because of Wang Ye. Even if he didn't say hello to anyone, everything happened naturally and naturally.

The wide and long conference table that is common in large-scale international conferences, with people from both sides sitting on each side, and flowers and national flags placed in the middle of the conference table.

On behalf of the country, Wang Ye gave a warm welcome speech, which was nothing more than welcoming Samsung Group to invest in Russia. Necessary help and an open and free environment will be provided here.

After Wang Ye finished speaking, Li Zairong took over and said that he was very honored to have the opportunity to meet Director Mikhail. He believed that the Russian economy would definitely have sustained high growth under the leadership of Director Mikhail. Samsung was very optimistic about it. The market and development here will continue to increase investment here at the right time, etc...

After the conversation was over, the media reporters left, the door to the conference room was closed, and the discussion began to get down to business...

…………

Li Zairong said sincerely:

"Director Mikhail, the main reason I came here this time is to talk to you about cooperation in the chip field.

As far as I know, your country’s industrial fund office plans to invest heavily in building a wafer fab with world-leading technology.

As for Samsung, we officially approved the project last year and we also want to build our own wafer factory.

Both of us can be said to be newcomers in the chip industry, and this industry is technology, capital, and talent-intensive. It is very difficult to succeed!

Therefore, I was thinking about whether there is an opportunity for both of us to work together and share technology, funds, etc., so as to build our respective fabs as soon as possible. "

It turns out that Lee Jae-young came to the wafer factory!

Although he talks about sharing technical funds between the two parties, the real focus must be on the huge subsidy from the Industrial Fund Office!

After all, the investment in wafer fabs is too huge, and even giant group companies like Samsung cannot easily afford it.

What's more, this kind of industry involves extremely large investments, extremely long cycles, extremely slow returns, and extremely high risks...

Generally speaking, private companies do not dare to invest a large amount of money in the early stage, because it will really bring down the entire group.

That is to say, the Industrial Fund Office issues bonds through the state and has too much money to spend, and only then is it willing to invest huge sums of money to build this wafer factory because of its strategic significance.

Now that he knew that the other party's intention was to "ask for money" rather than "give money", Wang Ye didn't have that much patience.

Originally, if I have money, I have money, I have people, I have people who want technology, and I can buy technology, so why would I bring Samsung with me to play...
