If in normal times, the total assets of the two major chaebol groups in South Korea, Lotte Group and Elephant Group, would definitely exceed 10 billion US dollars, and even when South Korea's economy was booming, it would reach 15 billion US dollars.

But these two giants were just under Song Zhichao's clever work and careful calculations, and they were only spent 5 billion US dollars to be swallowed up by the Song Group.

Of course, it may not be appropriate to use "annexation", after all, Elephant and Lotte also belong to the Lin family and the Xin family.

Well, that's the case.

The elephant Lin Shiling is in power.

Lotte Xin Dongxiong Holdings.

But in fact, everyone knows that Xin Dongxiong is Song Zhichao's maid and helped Song Zhichao manage the Silla Hotel before.

Not to mention Lin Shiling, it is rumored that this beauty has such an affair with Song Zhichao.

In this way, anyone with discerning eyes can understand at a glance that whether it is the elephant or Lotte, the person in charge is actually Song Zhichao.

In this battle, Song Zhichao played a total of five of the top ten chaebols in South Korea, namely Samsung and Hyundai, as well as LG, SK and Han Jin.

Before, I offended so many Korean big shots all at once. No matter who they were, I guess I don’t even know how to die.

But now-

It's different.

After Song Zhichao took control of Elephant and Lotte, coupled with his connections accumulated in the South Korean Prosecutor's Office and the Blue House, and Song Zhichao's huge overseas assets as a backing, his comprehensive strength has now surpassed many Korean chaebols.

Some Korean financial officials even commented that Song Zhichao's comprehensive strength has even ranked among the top three of the top ten chaebols in South Korea, and has the ability to influence South Korea's politics and economy as a whole.

...

Being teased by Song Zhichao made the chaebol leaders such as Samsung, Hyundai, and LG furious.

But they were helpless.

Now Song Zhichao's overall strength has improved significantly. As the top three of the top ten chaebols, his strength is of great importance - even three stars can't win if they fight alone, let alone others?

Do you join forces to deal with Song Zhichao?

How to join forces?

Samsung and Hyundai are wearing pairs of pants.

LG, SK and Han Jin are an allied group.

Neither side of these two major alliances dared to act rashly, for fear that when fighting with Song Zhichao, the other party would reap the benefits of the fisherman.

People's hearts are separated from their stomachs, let alone interest groups that are used to calculating each other?

In this way, Song Zhichao, who reshuffled the rankings of the top ten chaebols in Korea, not only did not become the target of public criticism, but instead became a "hot commodity" that major chaebols and Korean politicians urgently needed to win over.

...

Song Zhichao has been very busy these days, really busy.

Many senior officials from the Blue House kept inviting him to drink and socialize.

In addition to South Korea's ruling party, South Korea's opposition parties have also constantly extended olive branches to him, hoping to become "friends" with an excellent "youth entrepreneur" like him.

In addition, many celebrities and wealthy Korean business circles frequently sent invitations to him, such as "celebration reception", "art exhibition", and "model competitions", etc., and various activities were sent invitations, which made Song Zhichao overwhelmed.

In the end, Song Zhichao had to instruct the female secretary, Quan Wuhe and others to refuse any other invitations unless they were closest friends or companies with good relationships with Song.

But Song Zhichao still underestimated the enthusiasm of Koreans to cling to power and wealth.

It would be fine if you don’t show off your airs. The more you put on your airs, the more you show that your status is noble and the value in it will be.

What Koreans like to do the most is to cling to the powerful!

It can be seen from many Korean TV series in previous lives that the worship of the powerful and powerful people has reached the point of becoming obsessed with the enemy.

Now, Song Zhichao is full of popularity and stands at the peak of the powerful. Those who want to cling to him will try their best to get close to him.

Song Zhichao is more likely to show off his character. The more unattainable he is, the more he flocks to those people.

Since the right path cannot be understood, then take some wrong paths.

...

As Song Zhichao's "old friend", Congressman Zhang Taijun has had some hard time recently.

In the South Korean Congress, there are four or five hundred members of Congress. There are not many young and promising people like him, but they have great prospects.

It is precisely because of this that Zhang Taijun has always been very proud and believes that he is the absolute candidate for the future Seoul Mayor and never takes anyone seriously.

But things went against my wishes.

In the first encounter not long ago, former Seoul Mayor Kim Nam-kyu, who was originally an opponent, won again.

According to the election tradition, there are two "TV defenses" in the future. If Jang Tae-jun loses to Kim Nam-kyu again in the defense, then it goes without saying that his action to be the mayor of Seoul City will be completely defeated.

On the surface, Zhang Taijun lost to Kim Namkui because of her "insufficient qualifications" and "insufficient experience".

But in fact, only Zhang Taijun himself knew that the reason he lost was because of "insufficient funds" and "insufficient popularity".

Like the campaign mechanisms of many democratic countries, South Korea's mayoral election is actually a "money-burning game."

If you want to be the mayor and want everyone to vote for you, then at least you have to let everyone know you.

How to meet?

Of course, I have to go on TV, do programs, and even print posters and leaflets to get them distributed one by one.

In addition, you also have to swim in the float. The driver set up a big horn and ran from Seoul to the south of Seoul, then from Seoul to the east of Seoul and the west of Seoul...

We also have to hold vote canvassing activities from time to time, swearing and dancing, either!

In order to attract votes, we should also pay benefits to the elderly, weak, sick and disabled people, sending some rice, flour, cooking oil, and even coal balls.

All of this requires money to support it!

If you don’t have money, you’re still running for nothing!

I guess I will be KOed by my opponent at the beginning.

Zhang Taijun just lost because he had no money at hand.

Compared with him, his opponent Kim Nam-kui is supported by the Korean chaebol Samsung Group, and Samsung is also the biggest "funding owner" behind Kim Nam-kui's campaign team.

Zhang Taijun's original "financial owner" was Lotte Group, but Lotte Group was in a troublesome situation and in the end it was difficult to protect itself, let alone help Zhang Taijun to run for election.

Now Zhang Taijun has no way out and he is unwilling to give up. At least two games left, he can still fight.

Therefore, after Zhang Taijun's first failure, he turned his target to other chaebols in South Korea, hoping that these chaebols could act as their own financial backers and make themselves turn over.

But Zhang Taijun once again underestimated the "risk awareness" of these chaebols.

No matter who sees it, Zhang Taijun will definitely lose this time.

First, who can match Kim Nam-kui’s support of giants like Samsung? Even if Lotte is not annexed by Song’s family, it is probably impossible to beat Samsung.

Second, Zhang Taijun has lost to his opponent Kim Namkui in the first stage of the campaign, and both his momentum and fighting spirit are weaker than one level.

Third and most importantly, the money of these chaebols is not blown by the strong wind, and even if it is thrown into the water, it is impossible for Zhang Taijun to make a counterattack and win the championship successfully and successfully run for mayor.

Overall, the major Korean chaebols collectively disliked Zhang Tae-jun and believed that he had no hope of running this time and would definitely lose against his opponent Kim Nam-kyu.

therefore--

Who would take the initiative to invest in such a loser who is doomed to fail?!

In order to attract sponsorship and investment, Zhang Taijun was turned away countless times in one go. Whether it was Hyundai, LG, SK, Han Jin, etc., he was unwilling to pay for him.

Some chaebols even ridiculed him in person, "Zhang Taijun, if you can become mayor, I will write my name upside down!"

"Zhang Taijun, you treat yourself too much as a character. If you should give up, you should give up quickly!"

"You are already sure to lose, Zhang Taijun! Even the gods can't help you!"

Faced with these ridicule-

"Is that so? Even the gods can't help me?" Zhang Taijun endured all kinds of ridicule and ridicule. "Then I'll find someone who can help me!"

Zhang Taijun turned his attention to a newspaper—

Newspaper title—

"The Chairman of the Song Group, reshuffles the rankings of the top ten chaebols in South Korea!"
