Growth-type Super Rich-Chapter 459 - 291: Forgiving Him on God’s Behalf (Part 2)

Is the person coming the chairman of the LG Group, one of the few people at the pinnacle of power and wealth in Goryeo? What right do they have to stay when Gu Bai meets such a figure?

Gu Bai also subtly waved a hand, indicating that they should feel free.

Two minutes later, Ju Benmao entered with his son, Ju Guangmo.

Gu Bai watched the two people enter the room but showed no intention of getting up to greet them, still comfortably leaning back on the large sofa with his legs crossed.

Ju Benmao’s eldest son died in a car accident in 1990. The current heir, Ju Guangmo, is the biological son of Ju Benmao’s brother, Ju Benling, and was later adopted by Ju Benmao. This is why Ju Benmao dotes so much on Ju Haosu.

No matter how capable Ju Guangmo is, he is still a nephew. But Ju Haosu is different; he is Ju Benmao’s biological grandson.

If Ju Haosu weren’t such a fool, the inheritance of the LG Group would likely have fallen to Ju Haosu. In that case, Ju Haosu would have been one of the most powerful figures in Goryeo, and no matter how twisted he was, he would have been suppressed.

But this fool couldn’t contain his restlessness and squandered his position as the heir. What else could be done?

Upon seeing Ju Benmao, Gu Bai repositioned himself comfortably, half-lying on the sofa again, with a smile of unclear meaning on his face, and said, "Chairman Ju, forgive me for not getting up to greet you. The gunshot incident still casts a significant shadow over me. I hope you understand."

Supported by Ju Guangmo, Ju Benmao walked to the sofa opposite Gu Bai. His elderly face had been smiling, but upon hearing Gu Bai’s words, his expression paused, and his smile froze for a moment before returning to normal in a blink of an eye.

Having been the head of a conglomerate for decades, Ju Benmao’s depth is no exaggeration to describe as unfathomable.

He knew what Gu Bai’s words meant. The Goryeo investigation agency had already presented evidence that the shooting incident was orchestrated by Ju Haosu. By saying such words upon their first meeting, Gu Bai was simply telling him that he didn’t intend to let this matter go lightly.

Realizing this, Ju Benmao’s wrinkled old face also showed a friendly smile as he responded, "Mr. Gu, I’m here today to apologize for this matter. Although Haosu has run away and can’t be found for questioning, I trust the authority of our Goryeo police. We will certainly compensate you for your losses." 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

Upon hearing this, Gu Bai sat up straight, gestured for Ju Benmao to sit down, and then teasingly said, "Compensation? How will you compensate me?"

After sitting down, Ju Benmao handed his cane to Ju Guangmo standing beside him and answered seriously, "Within our reasonable limits, we will not shirk our responsibility. We only ask that Mr. Gu has Chairman Lee Kun-hee cease targeting our LG Group.

After all, this malicious targeting harms not only our LG Group but also poses significant damage to Samsung. You have an old saying in Hua Country, ’Harmony is most precious.’ Our LG Group is still willing to befriend you, Mr. Gu."

It’s only been two days, and Lee Kun-hee has already ordered a complete cessation of cooperation between the Samsung Group and the LG Group.

The impact of this is enormous. Samsung, as a world-class technology giant, has always been an upstream manufacturer. It has always been Samsung that holds others by the throat, and rarely can anyone grasp Samsung’s lifeline.

This break between the Samsung Group and the LG Group has caused a huge uproar in Goryeo.

Previously, there had been no rumors of any conflict between the Samsung Group and the LG Group. This sudden turn of events immediately alerted the keen-sensed to the brewing storm.

The LG Group is currently under continuous pressure from Samsung in its pillar industries like electronics and communications. Samsung’s attacks, which sacrifice both enemy and self, have caused considerable declines for both companies over the past two days, especially LG Group, whose decline has reached 20%. If left unchecked, the losses will become incalculable.

It was precisely because of Lee Kun-hee’s recklessness that Ju Benmao understood that Gu Bai’s status in Samsung definitely surpasses that of the Li Clan. Gu Bai might even be the de facto decision-maker of Samsung, which prompted Ju Benmao to meet him in person at once.

Ju Benmao, while considering the current situation of the LG Group, also observed Gu Bai’s expression.

"I heard that Mr. Gu is acquiring shares of major companies in our Goryeo entertainment industry?"

Gu Bai gently blew away nonexistent dust from his fingernails and nodded noncommittally.

"Our LG Group has been involved in the Goryeo entertainment industry for over 30 years, and currently, the net assets in our entertainment industry are valued at 2.65 billion US dollars, including shares of various major companies. If Mr. Gu requires, I am willing, in the capacity of the chairman of the LG Group, to sell all the assets in the entertainment industry at the lowest price to Mr. Gu. I wonder if that is sincere enough?"

While saying this, Ju Benmao couldn’t help but feel some heartache.

This is 2.65 billion USD, and now the Goryeo entertainment industry is booming. It might not be long before this 2.65 billion USD could become 5 billion USD.

"The lowest price is?"

"Original stock price."

"Chairman Ju, how generous!"

The so-called original stock price is the stock price at the time of the company’s initial public offering, such as the initial listing price of the S·M Company, which is vastly different from now. This means that if Gu Bai wanted to acquire the LG Group’s 2.65 billion USD net assets in the entertainment industry, he might only need to spend a few hundred million USD, or even less.
