Chapter 1628: The head of Korea asks for a monthly ticket for lung cancer
In early September, Yang Cheng, Luo Yue and Lin Ximan had just finished their vacation trip to Lake Como. Before he could rest in Los Angeles, Yang Cheng received a call from Susu. Hanjin Group and Korean Air head Zhao Lianghao were diagnosed with lung cancer during a physical examination in the hospital. It has shifted from the early stage to the middle stage. The cancer cells spread very quickly, and it will not take long to be an incurable disease in the late stage.
In fact, as far as we are concerned, even if we can control it, he will not have a few years of survival.
This is a big and small trouble for Yang Cheng, because in exchange for Zhao Lianghao nodding, he voluntarily gave up the opportunity to absolute control, and only became the largest shareholder of Korean Air with a holding ratio of 37.5%, but the operating rights are still in the hands of the Zhao family.
No matter how many ridiculous things Zhao Lianghao has done, at least his contributions to Korean Air operations are indelible, Yang Cheng and Delta Air Lines also recognize his management capabilities during his reign.
It is true. Since Delta Air Lines acquired a stake in Korean Air, Korean Air's performance has grown rapidly. At the same time, the replacement of a brand new fleet has once again widened its share in the local market.
It can be said that if this hadn't happened, the future of Korean Air would be bright.
But sometimes fate is so helpless. Zhao Lianghao suffered from an incurable disease. The rest of his time was lying on the hospital bed waiting to die, and the future of Korean Air was also cast a shadow.
Relying on those unfilial children of the Zhao family?
Haha, Yang Cheng is not crazy yet~
The management of Delta Air Lines has always believed that Korean Air will either become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Delta Air Lines and be directly managed by Delta Air Lines, or hire professional Korean managers to clean up the board of directors and shareholders and start again. In short, the Zhao family's prodigal sons cannot let the Zhao family ruin their already-not-secret family!
Now Zhao Lianghao is still recuperating in South Korea, but the other party has plans to come to Los Angeles for medical treatment, which gives Delta a chance to operate. As long as Zhao Lianghao is not at home, he will not be able to make any troubles with those prodigal sons.
After receiving the news, Yang Cheng made a quick decision to go to South Korea. First, it was to completely solve the hidden dangers of Korean Air, and second, it was to see his layout in South Korea. It was almost the end of the year. It was time for the tasks released by the 13 Club to summarize~
Another Korean-American named Zhao Shangxi, who is a senior management of Delta Air Lines, specializing in connecting with Korean Air and vice president in charge of the peninsula area business.
This time, sending him to South Korea with Yang Cheng was also an opportunity he took the initiative to win. Instead of hiring an external CEO, it is better to select from the inside, at least know the bottom of the matter. Moreover, Zhao Shangxi's American identity is also a major advantage, at least the probability of being stingy inside is relatively low.
This time, Yang Cheng took the "Xinyuanshan" at home to South Korea because he brought a lot of people. In addition to Zhao Shangxi and his assistant, he also had his own assistant team. Su Su and Liu Junyu also went there together. In addition to the bodyguard team, his Jason number really couldn't sit with so many people~.
When designing the Xinyuanshan, considering business needs, Boeing specially asked to modify a small conference room. At this time, in the luxurious and modern aerial conference room, Zhao Shangxi could not hide his excitement.
What does it mean to be able to board a big boss's private plane? Trust! There is still a chance to soar into the sky! When he first boarded the plane, he took the initiative to ask for a visit to the plane, but Yang Cheng naturally would not refuse.
When he was visiting, he was thinking, how good would it be if such a luxurious plane was his own? At that time, he would definitely hire two beautiful flight attendants to have a good exchange of their lives in the air.
Well, he was thinking too much, but the strong Zhao Shangxi would never allow him to make mistakes at such a major moment, so he made sufficient preparations long before setting off.
For example, he asked his colleagues about his boss's preferences. Even the people around him, such as Su Su and Liu Junyu, had a detailed understanding. Before the boss came, he was ready to establish a good relationship with the boss's chief assistant first.
From the perspective of ordinary people, Zhao Shangxi is a charming man. She is less than 40 years old at the age of 30 and has undergone minor surgery. She looks like a typical Korean handsome guy, but compared to the sissy style of pure sticks, Zhao Shangxi is more American wild.
He is passionate about fitness and is not stingy with showing off his good figure regardless of time and place.
Moreover, as the vice president of Delta Air Lines, his annual salary is not low and he receives a generous equity dividend every year, which is completely the character of Jinling in the TV series.
But in Susu's eyes, this person was a little hypocritical. Whether it was the fake smile at the meeting or the slightest at this moment, Susu was a little disgusted. However, the other party did not do anything excessive, so she couldn't treat it coldly. She was so depressed that she wanted to open the window for breathing, but unfortunately the plane was not allowed.
"Miss Susu, is the boss busy?" Zhao Shangxi looked at Susu and Liu Junyu at the angle he thought was the most handsome. The outsiders were tired of watching the posture, but he was content.
Su Su didn't raise her head, pretending to be sorting out the information, and said, "The boss is calling~"
"Understand, people like boss are busy every day, it's normal to be busy~"
This kind of unnutritious answer was started again, and Su Su touched Liu Junyu's legs under the table.
Liu Junyu covered her mouth and smirked. She touched her again, but the two girls didn't listen to Zhao Shangxi and started playing the game of quitting on their own~
The most embarrassing thing is Zhao Shangxi's assistant, and she also wants to participate~
Fortunately, the embarrassment did not last long. Yang Cheng pushed the door and said with a smile, "I have let you wait for a long time, what should I drink? Let's relax, this is not a company~"
After the beautiful stewardess brought the drink, Yang Cheng officially started the meeting, "Mr. Zhao, let's talk about it first~"
Zhao Shangxi said in panic, "It's good if the boss calls me Shangxi, my friends call me that~"
Yang Cheng was speechless. Don’t this guy knows that he is old?
Forget it, let it go, it's just a title anyway, "Okay, Shang Xi, tell me what you think~"
Zhao Shangxi cleared her throat and was ready to show her strength. She took a document from her assistant, glanced at her and said loudly, "Boss, first of all, about President Zhao Lianghao, I personally think that his contribution to the Korean civil aviation industry is tangible, but at the same time it has also affected the development of South Korea's civil aviation industry from another level.
Because Korean Air has been dominant for a long time, even within the competent authorities, there are a large number of ‘Korean-style’. For example, Korean Air encourages tourists to go to Incheon Airport and then transfer, which makes it impossible for other airports to get opportunities for growth;
People from the ‘Korean Clan’ played an important role in this. They were also influenced by the Korean Air strategy in terms of air rights distribution and the development of local airports, which hindered the development of other Korean airlines.
On the other hand, Zhao Lianghao's bad behaviors have also caused Zhao Lianghao to be criticized by the outside world many times in recent years.
The most famous one is the "Nuts Return" incident that occurred in 2014. At that time, Zhao Lianghao's eldest daughter, Zhao Xian'e. By the way, Zhao Xian'e was also the vice president of Korean Air at that time. When she was on her own flight back to Seoul from the United States, she was furious because the nuts provided on the plane were not opened and placed on a plate. After some insults, she also picked up the service manual and threw them on the flight attendant, and even forced the plane to return in order to drive the flight attendant off the plane.
The second daughter Zhao Xianwen, the vice president in charge of Korean Air's advertising and passenger marketing, is also a powerful person. At the company meeting, when an advertising company staff failed to give a clear answer to Korean Air's advertising business in the UK, she smashed bottled water into the other party's face.
Although after the incident, under pressure from all parties, Zhao Lianghao fired the two sisters from the company's management together. However, the bad impact on Korean Air can no longer be compensated, and this is a reflection of Zhao Lianghao's failure to do internal management.
We take this as the core and re-explore the incident. First of all, we must make public opinion a siege situation where Zhao Lianghao must step down before we can take the next move~”
Su Su responded, "Boss, based on the news we have received, Zhao Liangho intends to let his son Zhao Yuantai take over his position and take charge of Korean Air."
Zhao Shangxi said in a timely manner, "Miss Su Su is right, this is also something we can use, because Zhao Lianghao's son Zhao Yuantai is not a fuel-efficient lamp.
As early as 1999, he was involved in a hit-and-run case. In 2000, he drove to a policeman and moved a 77-year-old man in 2005 due to a driving dispute.
It can be said that it has a lot of bad deeds. If such a villain becomes the chairman or CEO of Korean Air, I am afraid that the Korean people will be the first to disagree.
By the way, there are also Zhao Lianghao's wife Lee Ming-ji who has insulted and beaten private residential renovation personnel. We will be exposed one by one. As long as the group anger arouses, we will do whatever we do, and the chance of success will be greatly increased~”
Yang Cheng's fingers were rhythmically pointing on the desktop, as if thinking about something.
Zhao Shangxi is in high spirits at this moment and wants to show himself, so he naturally doesn't want the atmosphere to become silent.
He took the initiative, "We can join forces with other major shareholders to request a shareholders' meeting after public opinion is created. According to regulations, as long as we fail to obtain the support of more than two-thirds of the shareholders, Zhao Lianghao must step down.
In fact, based on our shareholding ratio, as long as we speak, even if he is unwilling to step down, he will just be polite."
Yang Cheng paused his finger, "Well, talk about the current equity structure of Korean Air~"
This should have been Su Su's job, but Zhao Shangxi snatched it himself and looked at the information in his hand and said, "In addition to our Delta Airlines holding 37.5%, the Zhao family holds 28% through Hanjin Group Holdings, the South Korean national pension fund holding 12% , and there is also a private private equity fund holding 7% , Z Guodong Fang Airlines Holdings 4.5%, and the remaining 10% is circulating in the market~"
