  Chapter 918 What do you want most?

   When Zhao Guoyang and Jin Xiuzhu arrived at the "Daewoo Group" headquarters, it was already past six o'clock in the evening.

  After having dinner in the restaurant of the headquarters, Zhao Guoyang was dragged by Jin Xiuzhu to her office to discuss major plans.

   After watching Zhao Guoyang take a seat on the sofa, Jin Xiuzhu said mysteriously: "Guoyang, guess what I found out from the 'Han Bao Steel Company' these days?"

  After hearing this, Zhao Guoyang was taken aback.

  When he was in the car, he and Jin Xiuzhu didn't talk too much about "Han Bao Steel Company", mainly because Zhao Guoyang didn't want to put too much pressure on Miss Jin.

   But looking at the other party now, it seems that there is no pressure at all, and it seems that he is confident.

  Zhao Guoyang couldn't help thinking secretly: "Could it be that my prediction was wrong, and this 'Hanbao Iron and Steel Company' is almost unable to survive now?"

   After thinking about it carefully, it seems that there is such a possibility.

   Just as Zhao Guoyang was in a daze, Jin Xiuzhu explained with a smile: "Guoyang, I won't keep you secret about this matter, let me tell you everything!"

   "The thing is like this! Han Bao Steel Company, a business manager contacted me a few days ago..."

  Hearing this, Zhao Guoyang knew it well.

   Needless to say, this business manager must have had business contact with the "Daewoo Group" before.

  He didn't speak, but nodded quietly, motioning for Jin Xiuzhu to continue talking.

  Jin Xiuzhu caught a glimpse of his gesture, and said happily: "The manager of the business department contacted me in private, and I met him in person."

   "Guess what happened? This guy directly told me the current situation of 'Han Bao Steel Company'."

  Jin Xiuzhu said with some pride: "According to what this guy said, their 'Hanbao Iron and Steel Company' is now in a desperate situation. The money owed in the bank has almost exceeded their total assets!"

  After Jin Xiuzhu finished speaking, Zhao Guoyang immediately understood why she was so happy.

  You must know that the South Korean government is very strict on the issue of corporate loans.

  If the number of loans of an enterprise exceeds the valuation of the total assets of the enterprise, there is a high probability that it will be forced to go bankrupt.

  Of course, companies with government background like "Hyundai Group" and "Samsung Electronics" are definitely not in this category.

  But "Han Bao Steel Company" has no government background. If it touches the red line of loans, it is definitely a high probability that it will be ordered to go bankrupt.

  The reason why the "Hyundai Group" quickly smelled the smell may be through the letter obtained from the South Korean government.

  Of course, as a veteran enterprise, "Han Bao Iron and Steel Company" must have some unknown powers of its own.

  The South Korean government is also aware of this, and its predicament can only be a rough guess.

   Exactly when the other party will fail, the senior management of the "Hyundai Group" is not sure.

  In this way, the reason why Li Xiaodong, the former chairman of "Hanbao Iron and Steel Company" made a calm appearance is very simple.

   Obviously, he should do this to confuse people from "Hyundai Corporation" and the South Korean government, rather than being really calm.

   Actually, after hearing what Jin Xiuzhu said, the situation of "Han Bao Steel Company" is already very bad.

   Sure enough, Jin Xiuzhu then told Zhao Guoyang what the "inner ghost" of "Hanbao Iron and Steel Company" told Zhao Guoyang.

  Listening to her narration, Zhao Guoyang already had an idea in his mind.

Jin Xiuzhu on the side didn't know what Zhao Guoyang was thinking, and seeing that he didn't say a word, she asked strangely: "Guoyang, do you think we have a chance to get ahead of the 'Hyundai Group' under the current circumstances?" , to be the first to arrive?"

  After hearing the question posed by Jin Xiuzhu, Zhao Guoyang nodded emphatically, and said: "Of course there is a chance! Moreover, we must do it!"

   I don't know why, but when Zhao Guoyang said this kind of relentless words, Jin Xiuzhu didn't feel disgusted at all, on the contrary, he became more energetic.

She clenched her fists and echoed: "Yes, Guoyang! We must get this matter done before the 'Hyundai Group'. Otherwise, let them annex the 'Han Bao Iron and Steel Company' , then our 'Daewoo Group' will not have a good time!"

"It's just that although we have learned about the situation of the 'Hanbao Iron and Steel Company', it is not easy to bring it up on the table. If we can win without a fight, let Li Xiaodong give up most of his shares and hand over his assets." What about rights?"

Speaking of this, Jin Xiuzhu looked up at Zhao Guoyang expectantly and said, "Guoyang, I should be in charge of this kind of commercial operation. But it's important, I still want to hear from you Advice... What do you think we should do?"

  Zhao Guoyang let out a "huh", touched his chin, and then helped Miss Jin analyze everything.

   "Xiuzhu, I understand what you mean. You want to settle the acquisition of 'Han Bao Steel Company' without hurting everyone's harmony, right?"

  After hearing his rhetorical question, Jin Xiuzhu nodded again and again in agreement.

  Zhao Guoyang blinked, and said confidently: "If we want to accomplish this, we must first analyze what Li Xiaodong wants most..."

   "What do you want most?"

  Jin Xiuzhu was stunned for a moment, tilted her head to think about it, and asked tentatively, "I think he must be thinking about keeping 'Hanbao Iron and Steel Company' alive?"

   "Wrong!" Zhao Guoyang said firmly.

   After Zhao Guoyang made such a "wake-up call", Jin Xiuzhu was a little confused.

  Her pretty face blushed slightly, she looked up at Zhao Guoyang with some embarrassment and said, "Guoyang, don't go around in circles, tell me clearly!"

Zhao Guoyang smiled, waved a finger in front of Jin Xiuzhu, and said: "The truth is actually very simple! If this Li Xiaodong only wants the 'Han Bao Steel Company' to survive, then he is in touch After the 'Hyundai Group', a decision should be made immediately instead of delaying like this!"

Looking at Jin Xiuzhu who had come to understand, Zhao Guoyang gave her further analysis: "As you said just now, this Li Xiaodong knows that his 'Han Bao Steel Company' is about to fail, but he is still negotiating. Not too slow, not too fast, this explains the problem very much!"

  Jin Xiuzhu's eyes lit up as soon as Zhao Guoyang reminded her.

  She tentatively asked: "Guoyang, you mean, this Li Xiaodong not only wants to revive his own business, but he also has a bigger goal?"

   After saying this, Jin Xiuzhu herself was a little uncertain.

  She shook her head and said, "But there's no reason! This company is already like this, what kind of 'ambition' can he have? It's pretty good to be able to survive, right?"

  Zhao Guoyang gently shook his outstretched fingers, and his face gradually became solemn.

   "No, Xiuzhu, you misread Chairman Li Xiaodong!"

Zhao Guoyang said slowly: "If I'm not wrong, this person should be a person with a lot of obsession. This kind of person believes in one thing, and often spends his whole life to complete it. !"

  After hearing Zhao Guoyang's analysis, Jin Xiuzhu nodded half-understanding when thinking of the Li Xiaodong in her memory.

"Uh, it seems that what you said is really reasonable. I heard that Li Xiaodong had a girlfriend when he was young, and the relationship between the two was very deep. Later, his girlfriend died of a serious illness, but this chairman Li not married…"

   Speaking of this, Jin Xiuzhu is already very sure.

  She nodded vigorously and said: "That's right, that's it! This Li Xiaodong should be the kind of person Guoyang you said has a deep obsession! Moreover, the depth is beyond ordinary people's imagination!"

   Seeing Jin Xiuzhu prove his conjecture with examples, Zhao Guoyang became more certain.

  He squinted his eyes and said: "With Xiuzhu's evidence, you can't be wrong!"

   "According to my speculation, another obsession in Li Xiaodong's heart should be to overthrow 'Pohang Steel' and make his 'Hanbao Steel Company' the largest steel manufacturing enterprise in South Korea!"

   Zhao Guoyang's words hit Jin Xiuzhu directly like a revelation.

  She opened her mouth wide, seriously recalled the Li Xiaodong in her memory, and exclaimed: "You are amazing, Guoyang, you are really amazing!"

"That's right, this Li Xiaodong usually mentions 'Pohang Iron and Steel' in three sentences. Even with the sad scene of their company, when he met with me last time, he kept mentioning 'Pohang Iron and Steel'." Ironworks' name!"

  Hearing this, Zhao Guoyang's judgment on himself is already certain.

  He snapped his fingers with a "snap", and said energetically: "Knowing his obsession, then it's not difficult to guess what Chairman Li is thinking!"

   "I think that even though his company may go bankrupt at any time, he still insists on not letting go. He just doesn't want his company to be reduced to a foil for 'Posco' after being taken over by others!"

  Zhao Guoyang analyzed rationally: "Xiuzhu, think about it, this 'Hyundai Group' and 'Pohang Steel' are both enterprises supported by your South Korean government?"

  Jin Xiuzhu nodded in confusion, but didn't say much.

  Zhao Guoyang then asked: "Since they are all enterprises supported by the South Korean government, do you think that the two of them may fall out or even fight?"

  After hearing Zhao Guoyang's question, Jin Xiuzhu shook her head like a rattle.

Zhao Guoyang said with a relaxed face: "Then it's over! If the 'Hyundai Group' acquires the 'Han Bao Steel Company', they will definitely not fight the 'Pohang Iron and Steel', but guard their own peace of mind. Three acres of land to make some products needed for their own production.”

   "In this way, the number one position in South Korea's steel manufacturing industry must still be 'Pohang Steel'. You said that Li Xiaodong is willing to hand over his business to the 'Hyundai Group'?"
