On 1295 [the aircraft carrier of the chaebol world]
Lotte Group’s bankruptcy filing deadline –
As one of the top ten chaebols in South Korea, Lotte Group is well known in South Korea.
No one would have thought that such a huge Lotte Empire would announce its collapse today.
Yes, almost all Korean media and domestic and foreign media reporters gathered in the press release hall of Lotte New Town, waiting for the arrival of that historical moment.
The Lotte Press Release Hall, which could have accommodated more than 600 people, has now flowed in nearly a thousand people - media reporters, government officials, and some business celebrities.
The whole hall was crowded with people, and everyone was talking.
"Ah, is Lotte really going bankrupt this time?"
"Yes, I heard that debt collection is too good. Lotte Group is now insolvent, so it's not OK to go bankrupt!"
"What do you ordinary people know? Do you know why Lotte declared bankruptcy? Because four major chaebols collectively short Lotte, the media continues to swear. Lotte cannot go bankrupt!" A senior old reporter said in a mysterious tone.
The people around were half-believing and half-doubting.
At this time, someone suddenly shouted: "Look! LG President Gu Benmao is here!"
Everyone was stunned when they heard the sound.
Because in addition to LG Group Chairman Gu Benmao, Hanjin Group Chairman Zhao Chongsheng, and SK Chairman Choi Tae-won, all came.
These three people appeared at the press conference like emperors. Everyone stopped their voices and looked at the three people with a worshipful gaze.
You know, the presidents of the top ten chaebols in South Korea are not ordinary people and are usually hard to see, but now there are three of them all at once, which is absolutely incredible.
When the people from Lotte Group saw the three presidents coming, someone immediately stood up to greet everyone.
Needless to say, as "VIPs", the three were arranged in the VIP seat at the front.
The media reporters around wanted to interview these three big shots, but were stopped by the security personnel arranged by Lotte Group.
The reporters were tactful and knew that this kind of scene should not be done randomly, so they stopped and thought to wait until the meeting ended before interviewing the three bigwigs.
After sitting down, Gu Benmao and the other two sat down, raised their legs and glanced at the surroundings proudly.
"After Lotte goes bankrupt this time, it depends on how we perform." Gu Benmao smiled.
"Of course, Lotte has a lot of assets!" Zhao Chongxun also smiled.
"You two can choose first, we SK will help the palace queen." Choi Tae-won said.
"Hahaha! Young people really know how to respect the elderly and love the young! But don't worry, President Cui, we will not despise you because of your youth, and we will definitely not be unfair. We will leave you as much as we eat, and we will sit on the same boat." Gu Benmao smiled.
"Yes, you are a very good young man, not like that Song Zhichao..." Zhao Chongxun said, "It's not as arrogant as him, which makes us old people very upset."
"He will disappear soon," Choi Tae-won said coldly, "A Chinese cannot be so unscrupulous in the Republic of Korea. He must know how to hide his weaknesses, but he is too high-profile, especially if he wants to squeeze into the top ten chaebols, which is absolutely not allowed!"
"President Choi is right!" Gu Benmao smiled sinisterly, "The Republic of Korea can only be South Korea for us Koreans. We must never let outsiders come here to be the masters! As long as the matter of Lotte Group is resolved, the Song Group will be the next turn!"
After saying this, the three of them looked at each other and then burst into laughter.
That’s right, the Lotte incident is over, so the next turn is Song!
...
"Look, Lotte will grow!"
"That's Xin Dongbin? Hey, the old president, Singerhao, is here too!"
"It's not just the old President Xingehao, didn't you see it? Even Xin Dongxiong has come!"
"Oh, this is the father and son who are all in battle!"
All the media audiences were surprised.
You should know that for the outside world, the "story" of the three fathers and sons of Xin is enough to write a book, especially the "deeds" of the three fathers and sons of Xin are fighting each other to seize power, which is even more popular among the Korean people.
But the father and son who fought against each other and killed each other appeared at the press conference together, which surprised everyone.
LG President Gu Benmao was also surprised, looking at the Xin father and son, and smiled at Zhao Chongsheng and Choi Tae-won beside him, saying, "Isn't it very interesting? No one expected that the father and son would appear together."
"It seems that the father and son have reconciled, but unfortunately, Letian is going bankrupt." Zhao Chongxun said.
"In the time of crisis, these people realize that they are a family, but unfortunately, it's too late!" Cui Tae-won said.
"Yes, if the father and son could manage Lotte Group seriously from the beginning, Lotte would not have reached this point today!" After saying that, Gou Benmao took the initiative to stand up and greeted Xin's father and son.
If it weren't for what he said just now, many people would have thought how good the relationship between him and Lotte Group was.
The Singhhao and his son also saw them, but they did not come over and just nodded to them on the stage, with cold and stiff expressions without a smile.
Yes, this kind of scene is really not suitable for saying hello.
Smart people know that Gu Benmao and the other two obviously came to see the joke, or came to "cry".
Lotte went bankrupt and went bankrupt, and it was all the tricks behind their three major groups. If they had bad tempers, they would probably come to catch them in the morning and scold them.
Fortunately, the people from Lotte Group are of high quality, and at least they are very concerned about each other's face on the surface.
"Haha, the Xin father and son are quite calm." Gu Benmao sat down again and said to the people around him, "I clearly knew that the three of us forced them to the point of despair, but I saw that we could still face it so calmly."
Zhao Chongxu and Choi Tae-won laughed.
"The Xin family is ranked among the top ten chaebol families in South Korea, and their cultivation skills are still qualified!"
"I'm afraid that when they will declare bankruptcy later, the father and son will come and beat us up!"
"Hahaha! Everyone will be fooled by that time! By the way, President Cui, you will have to get a few more punches for us when you are young!" Gu Benmao joked.
...
It's almost time-
As the current president of Lotte Group, Xin Dongbin looked at the time and said to everyone at the venue, "The press conference officially began!"
The meeting scene, which was originally a little noisy, suddenly became quiet.
In the crowds, everyone looked at the speech table together.
At this time—
Xin Dongbin stood on the stage again and said to the following: "Now, on behalf of the South Korean Lotte Group, I officially announced-"
The atmosphere at the scene became tense instantly.
Are you going to declare bankruptcy?
Is Lotte really going bankrupt?
The time to witness history has come!
Gu Benmao and the other two also became serious and stared at Xin Dongbin who was speaking on the stage.
Many reporters had already taken out their cameras and pointed the lenses at the stage.
one two three!
After three seconds of silence—
Xin Dongbin glanced at everyone, paused on Ju Benmao and the other two, and announced loudly: "From today, our Lotte Group announced that it was officially merged into the Song family!"
"What?"
"How is that possible?"
Gu Benmao and the other two stood up, stunned!
Chapter completed!
