Compared to Su Yang’s enthusiasm, Mr. Yoon was much more cautious.
Although he shook Su Yang’s hand politely, he did not show much enthusiasm. He merely said politely, “Hello, Mr. Su.”
Su Yang did not pay much attention to Mr. Yoon’s vigilance. If it were him, his first reaction would probably be alert if someone came to him and said that they wanted to cooperate.
Su Yang gestured to the sofa beside him and said, “Mr. Yoon, please take a seat. Thank you for taking the time to meet me.”
Mr. Yoon sat down and adjusted his spectacles. He then looked at Su Yang and said, “It’s my honor to meet a giant capitalist like yourself.”
He paused and did not continue. He added silently in his heart… ‘After all, the proof of what happened to Japan is right in front of me.’
Indeed, Su Yang had single-handedly planned the bloodbath in Japan. It was a vivid lesson to all the countries on Earth. It made them even more wary of this giant capitalist. As the initiator of the bloodbath, Su Yang naturally became the second to be on every country’s alert list.
Su Yang could hear the hidden meaning in Mr. Yoon’s words. He smiled but did not explain himself. Instead, he went straight to the point. “I’ve invited you here today because I want to cooperate with you.”
Hearing this, Mr. Yoon’s alertness increased by several levels.
Although he was wary, he did not show it on his face. Instead, he asked, “How would you like for us to cooperate, Mr. Su?”
Su Yang tapped his fingers lightly a few times. Zhao Licheng walked out from the back room and handed a document to Mr. Yoon.
Mr. Yoon took the document file and opened it to read its contents.
The contents of the document were very simple. It was about the business rights to Samsung, the things that had been done over the years, and the influence on Korea.
After reading the document, Mr. Yoon looked up and said, “Samsung?”
Su Yang nodded and did not deny it. “Yes, Samsung.”
Then, he looked at Mr. Yoon and asked, “Mr. Yoon, are you interested?”
Mr. Yoon did not answer directly. Instead, he lowered his head and continued reading the document. After a while, he finished reading the rest of the document. He closed his eyes and thought for a while. In the end, he smiled. “Not interested.”
“Oh?” Su Yang looked surprised. “Why? Haven’t you been investigating the company with the intention of bringing them down?”
Upon hearing Su Yang’s words, Mr. Yoon denied, “Mr. Su, where did you hear this news from? I have never thought of targeting Samsung. They are the most important part of our country’s economy. It is also because of them that our country’s economy has been developing so well.”
When he said that, Mr. Yoon’s smile widened. “It does seem like rumors are spreading that I don’t get along with Samsung, but… They’re just groundless rumors.”
Su Yang looked at Mr. Yoon intently. After a while, he laughed out loud and said, “I see. I thought that what the outside world said was true. I didn’t expect that… I was actually deceived.”
As he spoke, Su Yang patted his own head and said, “Look at this huge misunderstanding we’ve got here.”
Seeing this, Mr. Yoon put down the documents and said seriously, “Mr. Su, I’ll pretend that I have no knowledge about you and Samsung. As long as it’s a normal business competition and it’s in accordance with Korea’s laws and regulations, I’ll support either side with both arms open regardless of who emerges as the victor.”
Su Yang nodded and said straightforwardly, “I will abide by the laws and regulations. Even if it’s a business competition, it will be fair and just. I just hope that Mr. Yoon will not tell anyone about this. After all, before we are prepared, I don’t want this matter to be known by the enemy.”
Mr. Yoon smiled and nodded. “Of course.”
Due to the fact that they did not reach an agreement, the two of them did not get along well with each other. After a while, they stopped chatting. Su Yang also served his guest some tea before he asked the Clown Sea Serpent to send Mr. Yoon out…
…
After returning to his residence through the Clown Sea Serpent, Mr. Yoon’s smiling face slowly turned cold.
He sat heavily on the chair, and the expression on his face changed.
As an excellent ruler of the country, Mr. Yoon would only show his true emotions when there was no one around.
Obviously, he was feeling very complicated at that moment.
Inside the mansion, he did not turn on the lights. His face was hidden in the darkness, and it was pretty much invisible.
He was silent for half an hour before he picked up his phone and dialed a number.
A moment later, a calm man’s voice came through the phone. “Hello? What’s brought about this late night phone call?”
Mr. Yoon said, “Su Yang came looking for me today.”
The man on the other end said, “What did he say to you?”
Mr. Yoon said, “He wants me to work together with him to take down the Lees.”
The man laughed. “Is he crazy?”
Mr. Yoon said nothing.
The man acted like he knew Mr. Yoon very well. He had guessed Mr. Yoon’s choice before Mr. Yoon even said anything. “After you rejected him, he didn’t fly into a rage out of humiliation?”
Mr. Yoon said, “No, he only asked me to keep it a secret.”
It was the other man’s turn to be silent now.
After a while, he changed his mocking tone and said, “Could this be a trap?”
Mr. Yoon nodded. “It does seem very much like it. According to the intel received, Su Yang wouldn’t do something so stupid.”
The man nodded. “It’s indeed a little too hasty for him to talk about such topics the first time you two met, it’s unlike his usual methods.”
Then, he asked, “What are you going to do then?”
After a moment of silence, Mr. Yoon said, “What else? Let’s do as he says and spread the word.”
Then, he added, “It won’t be suitable for me to get involved in this personally, so I need you to make the arrangements.”
The man grunted in acknowledgement once again…
After hanging up, Mr. Yoon pulled a box of cigarettes out of his pocket and lit one. The flame flickered in the darkness, which seemed like his mood at that moment…
…
At the same time, in the hotel, Su Yang was having a meeting with Zhao Licheng and the Clown Sea Serpent.
Su Yang replied, “The bait has been casted. Let’s see how many people have taken the bait.”
At the side, the Clown Sea Serpent held its smelly feet. “Your plan is flawless, Master. You’re literally playing Samsung and Mr. Yoon right into your fingertips.”
Su Yang smiled and shook his head. “I’m just going with the flow. Besides… Mr. Yoon probably saw through my plans already.”
That’s right. Su Yang’s first step was not to befriend Mr. Yoon, but to start working together.
In Korea, trying to create a corporation was no different from a rebellion.
If they were not 100% sure, or if they could gain more benefits, no one would publicize this.
After all, it would be best to remain in hiding before everything is set in motion. There were many people who opposed the corporations in private, but the latter would pay no attention to them. However, if someone began opposing them openly, the corporation might land into a disaster if they did not deal with that person as soon as possible.
Therefore, when Su Yang was making his plan, he felt that if he wanted Mr. Yoon to believe him and work together with him, he might as well go ahead with his plan and create an opportunity.
When there was a chance, whether it was Mr. Yoon or the people who were against the corporation in Korea, they would not let go of this perfect opportunity.
Initially, Su Yang did not have a good way to communicate with Mr. Yoon and let him know his stand. However, the [Eye of Origins] came in handy at that moment.
This was especially so for the [Eye of Origins], which had been modified by the [The Disbursing Balancing Scale]. Regardless of whether the word “Su Yang” was spoken, as long as Su Yang was mentioned during a conversation, this ability would be triggered.
Therefore, when Lee Jaerong was discussing about him with his subordinates a few days ago, Su Yang received Little Deeny’s notice immediately. This also allowed Su Yang to know that Lee Jaerong had guessed that Su Yang was going to deal with him.
Since the enemy had already guessed that he was going to make a move, there was no need to hide it anymore. Hence, Su Yang, Zhao Licheng, and the Clown Sea Serpent discussed and decided to use this matter as an opportunity.
He directly told Mr. Yoon that he was going to attack Samsung and hinted for Mr. Yoon to spread the news.
Jiadian Group’s influence in the world was not inferior to Samsung, even enough to compete against them. Under such circumstances, many people who dislike Samsung might defect or jump out to offer Jiadian Group assistance.
Other people would strike to alarm his enemies, while Su Yang was striking to locate his companions.
As for SamSung’s reaction when they heard the news…
Actually, Su Yang was not worried at all. Putting aside the fact that they had already guessed what was going to happen… Even if Samsung had not guessed it, they would not dare to start a war with Jiadian Group.
After all, both sides were not simple factions, and their backgrounds were complicated. Once the battle started, both sides would most likely suffer.
As long as there was no bottom line involved, both parties would most likely maintain their restraint.
Therefore, exposing this matter would do more good than harm in the long run.
While the three of them were having a meeting, Little Deeny came in from outside. She brought Su Yang a cup of tea and walked behind Su Yang. As she massaged Su Yang’s shoulders, she asked, “Master, will Mr. Yoon follow according to our plan? Will he not have understood what you meant?”
Su Yang smiled but did not say anything. Zhao Licheng, on the other hand, explained, “Mr. Yoon is a smart person. He will understand what Master is hinting at. If he doesn’t understand or doesn’t dare to make this matter public, it will only prove that his intelligence and courage have not reached the point where he can be our collaborator.
“We will also give up this chance when that happens.”
Su Yang nodded and added, “Furthermore, Mr. Yoon isn’t to be trusted completely. I have a feeling that he might not be standing on our side.”
Zhao Licheng frowned when he heard what Su Yang said. He seemed to have been reminded of something.
Little Deeny and the Clown Sea Serpent looked at Su Yang curiously. They did not know what Su Yang was playing at.
Su Yang looked at Zhao Licheng as if he was waiting for him to think it through.
His actions made Little Deeny and the Clown Sea Serpent follow him.
Sensing their gazes, Zhao Licheng’s brows relaxed and he explained, “You have just reminded me that our plans might have been too idealistic.
“I seem to have missed a lot of things.
“Perhaps we should adjust it.”
Su Yang nodded.
“That’s why I plan to bring forward the follow-up plan to create a diversion.”
Zhao Licheng pondered for a moment before his eyes lit up. “I think it’s feasible.”
…
Over the next few days, there was some news that seemed to be true or false. It was said that Jiadian Group was greedy and wanted to take a lot more than they could chew. After obtaining huge profits from Japan, they have set their sights on the Korea Market. Their first target was Korea’s biggest conglomerate, Samsung.
This piece of news caused a huge commotion. Countless people tried to find out whether it was true or not. However, the person who spread the news hid it very well. Everyone only knew that it was spread from a very special channel, but the accuracy was almost 100%.
This caused a huge commotion.
Since ancient times, wherever there was oppression, there would be resistance. For Samsung to turn Korea into its own country, it had obviously offended many people and forces.
Even the other major corporations were wary and worried about the corporation.
Now, Jiadian Group has been rumored to be about to attack Samsung, which definitely came as a surprising piece of news.
No matter who won or lost, as long as a fight broke out, Samsung would be greatly affected. If Jiadian Group had put in more effort, the cash flow of Samsung might have broken, and everyone would have rushed forward to dismember it.
Many people expressed their goodwill to Su Yang in an indirect way.
Su Yang had recorded all the names of these people. There were definitely not all of them who wanted to target Samsung. Instead, they probably just wanted to use this opportunity to get close to Jiadian Group or Samsung to spy on them.
On top of that, because they had not met for a chat face-to face, Su Yang could neither use his [Eye Of Origins] or [Truth Or Explosion] to identify if their actions were sincere, or they had other motives.
But, no matter what, Su Yang had made a name for himself in Korea, and he had many more people that he could try using, which was a good thing for him.
…
At the same time, while Su Yang was making rapid progress, Lee Jaerong was chatting with his advisor, Mr. Park.
“Who released the news?”
Mr. Park said, “It should be that person.”
Lee Jaerong frowned slightly. “He’s working with Su Yang?”
Mr. Park smiled. “I don’t think so.”
Lee Jaerong closed her eyes and thought for a moment before saying, “Then, what are they doing?”
Mr. Park said confidently, “What else can we do? Test the chemistry between the two parties, accumulate strength, and test our enemies and their helpers.”
Lee Jaerong opened her eyes. “The situation is getting more and more dangerous. We cannot sit here and wait for death!”
Mr. Park said confidently, “What else? They’re probably testing each other and accumulating their strength in the meantime. Also, they’ve put out the rumors to test our enemies to see if they could become allies.”
Lee Jaerong opened his eyes. “The situation is getting more and more dangerous. We cannot just sit here and wait for our doom!”
