Chapter 478 Appointment Letter
Lin Zehao lit a cigarette and the servant immediately brought an ashtray respectfully.
"Brother Rihai, Samsung Group is still a Korean company after all. It is inevitable that I, a foreigner in power, will be criticized."
"What's more, if the Li family is kicked out completely, the entire group will come to a standstill. Wouldn't all my money be wasted?"
Lin Zehao exhaled a puff of smoke and said, "Don't worry, the entire Samsung is under my control now, and I won't jump out to cause you trouble."
"As long as my income is guaranteed, I am not that sensitive to other things."
Quan Douhuan could understand the deep meaning of these words. As long as he didn't mess around and hinder Lin Zehao's financial path, everything would be fine.
Something like Samsung jumping up and down in an attempt to overthrow his rule will never happen.
If you think about it carefully, this is actually the result that Chun Doo wants. Being able to sit in his position, his thoughts are actually not that complicated.
It is nothing more than extending one's own rule as long as possible and making more money on this basis.
As for the rest, it is not that important.
"The one who understands me is Brother Lin."
"If I had a few more true friends like you, why would it come to this?"
Could it be that Quan Douhuan didn't understand that Lin Zehao was defending him?
Do not!
Of course he understands!
But Lin Zehao was so smart that by the time he found out, everything was already settled and the matter was done!
At this time, Quan Douhuan was helpless and could only accept it.
It's impossible that he arrested the father and son of the Lee family, released them without any warning, and then started to attack the Samsung Group again, right?
If this continues, what authority will he have as the president? How will the people below view him?
What's more, without Lin Zehao's help, Quan Douhuan couldn't handle Samsung.
Therefore, there was only one way left for him, and that was to accept it.
Anyway, I made money, secured my position, and achieved my goals.
As for the rest of the things, Quan Douhuan didn't want to think about them, and was too lazy to think about them.
The end of this meeting completely declared that Lin Zehao was invincible in Goryeo.
Quan Douhuan has admitted it with a grudging consent, so even if others want to cause trouble, they have to see if they have the qualifications!
Next, at Lin Zehao's instruction, the Sunkyung Group was officially renamed SK Group, and its businesses underwent a small-scale split and reorganization.
As for Lotte Group, it has strengthened its confidence in entering the retail industry. After a major change, Lin Zehao also completed the first capital injection.
Samsung Group's actions made onlookers even more confused. It actually took the initiative to sell several subsidiaries. Although they were not core, they could still bring in considerable profits.
People outside speculated whether Lee Kun-hee had been locked up in Xibingku and had gone crazy, so that he could come up with such a stupid move.
Of course, he had no power to decide on such matters; he was just following Lin Zehao's orders.
It seems that Samsung is selling its profitable business, but in fact, everything is just transferring money from one hand to the other.
The buyer of the business is also a company controlled by Lin Zehao.
The reason is very simple. With the improvement of antitrust laws in the future, a behemoth like Samsung Group will inevitably be split up. Any normal person in the Blue House will not sit idly by.
Instead of passively accepting, it is better to take the initiative to plan ahead, which will not only make you more relaxed but also reduce losses.
Lin Zehao completed indirect holding through more than a dozen companies and completely hid his true identity behind the scenes. Under such circumstances, no one can find out that he is the real controller of Samsung Group!
At this point, Lin Zehao's Goryeo layout has been completed!
Of the so-called five major chaebols in later generations, three have been completely controlled by Lin Zehao.
Only Hyundai Group and LG Group were left untouched by him.
Hyundai Group's Lin Zehao really wants it, but there is no good way in the short term. At least when Chung Ju-yung has not delegated power to his children, there is no good entry point.
Acquiring and merging a company of this magnitude is not a small matter that can be accomplished overnight, and the commotion it causes is even greater.
Lin Zehao already owns the Samsung Group. Quan Douhuan will definitely not sit idly by and watch the Hyundai Group being acquired by him again. He will definitely step in to stop it.
Therefore, this plan is put on hold.
As for LG Group, Lin Zehao's desire is not too strong, mainly because many of its businesses overlap with Samsung, so there is really no need for acquisition.
Now that the Goryeo incident was over, Lin Zehao arranged the personnel changes here, and then had a meal with the commander of the US forces in South Korea, Louis, to consolidate their friendship. Then, he left on the Tenglong under the escort of Air Force fighter jets.
This trip to Goryeo was definitely fruitful for him!
From this moment on, the Goryeo people can no longer live without three things in their lives: death, paying taxes, and Lin Zehao!
The Tenglong did not fly directly back to Hong Kong Island, but went to Beijing.
As for the reason, I can only say that those who understand will understand, and it is not convenient to explain in detail.
After staying in Beijing for three days, the Tenglong took off again after ground maintenance and landed at Kai Tak Airport on Hong Kong Island.
The first thing Lin Zehao did after returning to Hong Kong Island was to find Li Wenbin.
Inside the office. Li Wenbin walked into the office, handed out a cigarette, and then asked, "Brother Hao, do you have something to talk to me about?"
Lin Zehao took the cigarette, but had no intention of lighting it. He just pushed the appointment letter in his hand away.
"Time is passing faster and faster. Before I knew it, the 1980s are drawing to a close and 1997 is getting closer."
"You know I have been in contact with the mainland, and I even went to Beijing some time ago."
"I was given a letter of appointment as Chief Superintendent of the Royal Hong Kong Island Police Force as a token of my appreciation. After much thought, I think you are the only one who is most suitable in the entire Hutchison Whampoa."
"Tell me, what do you think?"
With Lin Zehao's shrewdness, he naturally understood the intention of the person who gave him the appointment letter.
On the one hand, it is to express gratitude, and on the other hand, it is to ensure that when the police return, there are enough people in the police force to control the situation.
Otherwise, at that critical moment, any small mistake would turn into an international event.
Of course, this is macro stuff.
Lin Zehao must ensure that while helping others, he also gains something.
Li Wenbin never expected that things would unfold in this way, just like he never thought that he would go from being a lawyer to having a fortune of tens of millions.
And all these changes were brought to him by Brother Hao.
Without Brother Hao, he wouldn't have everything he has today.
"Brother Hao, I will listen to you. If you let me go to the police force, I will do it without hesitation."
Li Wenbin is very smart, which is why he has been able to always be in charge of Hutchison's financial power.
Serving the emperor is like serving a tiger, he always kept this sentence in mind.
"Given the current system of the Hong Kong Island Police Force, the police force is actually not a good place to be."
"However, nothing is static. As times change, the risks and costs of building relationships will also increase. This is where we need to prepare for a rainy day."
"So, if you can adapt to the atmosphere within the system, joining the Hong Kong Island Police Force is not a bad idea."
Lin Zehao picked up the Dupont lighter, lit a cigarette, and said with a smile: "Besides, you will be promoted to Chief Superintendent as soon as you get there. If you can smooth out the relationship and ensure that it is a position with real power, I don't know how much effort you will have to put into climbing up the ladder."
To be fair, Li Wenbin is no stranger to the officialdom. As a well-known lawyer, many of his clients are public officials, so he is naturally familiar with many unspoken rules.
However, he was still a little scared about becoming a chief superintendent.
"Brother Hao, I absolutely believe in your judgment, but can I really join the police force with my identity?"
Lin Zehao asked back: "Why not?"
"US President Roosevelt also came from a Zhigongtang white paper fan background. Did this affect his becoming one of the greatest presidents in American history?"
"We are not a gang. We are just a registered legal organization with a long history."
"The appointment letter is right here, with the signature of the Governor of Hong Kong Island on it. Who dares to say that you are not qualified?"
Li Wenbin finally felt relieved and asked tentatively, "Brother Hao, what should I do after I join the Hong Kong Island Police Force?"
In recent years, incidents like Infernal Affairs have been common. Last month alone, Hutchison uncovered more than 20 undercover police officers.
Similarly, Hutchison will infiltrate the police force through various means.
The position of spy has a long history and has not disappeared even after decades.
"You don't have to do anything. I'll call you if I need anything."
"All you need to do is climb up step by step."
"But don't worry, as a big boss I won't stand idly by."
Lin Zehao said this with a meaningful smile on his face.
Given Li Wenbin's background, even if he were to join the police force, he would definitely be treated as a key focus, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that he would be under 24-hour surveillance.
Knowing that this would be the case, you still choose to pass on various messages. Isn't that wrong?
Therefore, Lin Zehao was not going to let Li Wenbin play the Infernal Affairs game.
In his opinion, undercover agents can never be seen in public.
If you want to play, play big; if you want to play, play overtly!
Everyone knows that Li Wenbin was Hutchison’s White Paper Fan before, and the police force must be on high alert against him.
But even in this situation, if Li Wenbin climbs step by step to the position of the top boss, how will those people react?
No matter how much so-called intelligence you pass on, can it compare to the subordinates of the top police officer?
Anyway, Hutchison does not engage in any business that violates the law. It is neither a drug dealer nor an organ smuggler. The Royal Hong Kong Island Police Force cannot find any strong evidence against it, so there is no pressure at all.
"Get ready and report to the Hong Kong Island Police Force, Superintendent Li."
Facing Lin Zehao's teasing, Li Wenbin did not dare to neglect it and quickly expressed his loyalty: "Brother Hao, don't say that I am just a chief superintendent. Even if I can really sit in the position of the top brother in the future, I am still your younger brother."
