"Mr. Lu, should we contact LG and Hanwha too?"
Wen Chao asked quietly. They were the party with the upper hand, capable of choosing among many options; there was no need to hang on to one tree.
Before reaching out to Hyundai's Li Xuanhong, they had also engaged with LG's Park Yongjun, and Hanwha's Li Zaizhi.
"Let's meet with Zheng Xuanyi tomorrow, see what the situation is, and then decide whether to contact them," Mr. Lu responded.
Apart from Samsung, Lu Liang was most optimistic about cooperating with Hyundai because it was a Korean enterprise much like Mitsui Sumitomo.
Not everyone wished to be a lapdog to the United States—at least the Zheng Family wasn't keen, otherwise, Samsung wouldn't dominate alone.
But they had no choice. The financial crisis of 1997 took not just wealth but also their dignity.
From a macro perspective, looking at that financial crisis, the assets swept away by Wall Street institutions led by Quantum Fund were but a drop in the ocean.
