Sitting in the office on the top floor of the "Xingtai International Foreign Trade Company" in Pudong New Area, Zhao Guoyang was carefully checking the information in his hand.

These days, he has been busy collecting information from the "Hanbao Steel Company".

Various data show that as early as two or three years ago, the company was on the verge of bankruptcy and was almost unable to handle it.

But what is hard to understand is that it has been forcing itself to hold on until now. And it seems that there is still a possibility of continuing to hold on.

This is not good news for Zhao Guoyang, who is determined to acquire it.

Kim Soo-joo had just visited South Korea last week and went to inquire about the news on the grounds of discussing business.

According to her, when she met with Li Xiaodong, the boss of "Hanbao Steel Company", she found nothing unusual.

It seems that the other party is not in trouble with the break of the capital chain, and everything seems very normal.

However, in Zhao Guoyang's view, the calmer the more storms are, the more likely they are to invade.

The reason why "Hanbao Steel Company" can support it is likely that there are some people who don't know the inside story.

Only by digging out this inside story can you and "Xingtai International" have the opportunity to take it into your pocket.

After staring at the industrial version of "Asakura News Agency" in his hand for a while, Zhao Guoyang was attracted by an inconspicuous message.

In a small strip-shaped information column in the middle of the newspaper, a message was published: The construction of the Tangjin No. 1 blast furnace "Incheon Iron Manufacturing" was officially started, and relevant senior executives of "Modern Group" came to congratulate...

Looking at this unsatisfactory news, Zhao Guoyang's eyes gradually lit up.

The Tangjin area is a famous steel industry base in South Korea. The top ten steel companies in South Korea, including "Posco Iron Manufacturing" and "Hanbao Steel Company". All of them set up factories here.

Among them, the Yashanwan Factory, the eastern steelmaking company of "Hanbao Steel Company", is the most famous.

Now that the construction of the No. 1 blast furnace in Tangjin has officially started, another "Modern Group" suddenly congratulates, and the tricks here are a bit profound.

The most likely situation is that "Hyundai Group" has promised something to the turbulent "Hanbao Steel Company" and is preparing to inject capital into it to enter the Tangjin area.

This is also why "Hanbao Steel Company" is so calm even though the factory is obviously not making enough money.

He carefully sorted out the previous and subsequent ideas in his mind, and felt that nothing should be wrong, so Zhao Guoyang immediately hung up the phone to Jin Xiuzhu.

After Zhao Guoyang dialed the number, the phone was quickly connected.

"I am Kim Soo-joo! Where are you?" On the other end of the phone, Kim Soo-joo's cold voice came, giving people a feeling of not being in a good mood.

Because Zhao Guoyang was in a good mood, he laughed and teased, "Miss Xiuzhu, why did it feel like he had taken gun medicine early in the morning? Has anyone provoked you?"

When he heard that it was Zhao Guoyang's voice, Jin Xiuzhu's tone immediately calmed down.

She asked with a smile: "Guoyang, why do you have time to call me? Are you busy with the vertical vibration hoist project these days?"

The reason why Jin Xiuzhu knows about the vertical vibration hoist project of "SMS Company" is because several senior engineers from "Daewoo Heavy Industry Group" are assisting in the design of "SMS Company".

Not long ago, after Zhao Guoyang gave Zhao Siyan some suggestions, the progress of the vertical vibration hoist project naturally accelerated a lot.

After the production map came out, Zhao Siyan sent an invitation letter to the "Dayu Heavy Industry Group" and asked their engineers to come and do the project together.

Now "SMS Company" is already the largest shareholder of "Daewoo Heavy Industry Group".

Although Zhao Siyan does not have much shares in the "SMS Company", her identity as the deputy general manager is definitely qualified to issue an order to the technical department of the "Dayu Heavy Industry Group".

Because I went to Monaco together last time, Kim Soo-joo and Zhao Siyan have a very good relationship.

After receiving her request for help, Miss Jin naturally helped her. It was reasonable to send "Dayu Heavy Industry Group".

At this time, after hearing Jin Xiuzhu's question, Zhao Guoyang said easily: "There is basically no problem with the vertical vibration hoist project. The following is the detailed design of each component."

"With Xiuzhu, several senior engineers from Daewoo Heavy Industry Group, are helping each other. It should be no problem to take out the samples within two or three months!"

Listening to Zhao Guoyang's confident words, Jin Xiuzhu smiled and said yes.

After a few greetings, Zhao Guoyang expressed his intention to call.

He said straight to the point: "Xiuzhu, I called here to learn more about the situation of 'Hanbao Steel Company' from you."

When Kim Soo-joo heard this answer, she was confused.

She subconsciously said, "Guoyang, did you tell me about the meeting with Chairman Li Xiaodong, 'Hanbao Steel Company' two days ago? Why do you have any details to know?"

Zhao Guoyang said "Yes" with certainty: "Yes, Xiuzhu, you guessed it right! I just want to know what happened when Chairman Li Xiaodong was talking to you at that time."

"Especially during the conversation, did he reveal that someone is willing to acquire shares in their company or inject capital into their company?"

When Kim Soo-joo heard this, she was a little confused.

She recalled it seriously and suddenly exclaimed: "By the way, Guoyang, I really remembered what you said. When I met Li Xiaodong, it seemed that he was called out by his secretary halfway through. It seemed that some important guest had made him meet."

"At that time, I thought it was a business matter, so I didn't care much. But now after hearing what you said, it's really possible!"

After listening to Jin Xiuzhu's story, Zhao Guoyang became even more sure of his guess.

He sighed and said, "Can Chairman Li take time to arrange a meeting when talking to a big man like you, Miss Xiuzhu. It seems that the other party should be the one I guess who wants to buy shares of 'Hanbao Steel Company'."

Jin Xiuzhu was stunned for a moment, and immediately asked: "Guoyang, from what you mean, it seems that you have guessed the identity of this person with the intention to acquire it? Who is he?"

After hearing Jin Xiuzhu's questioning, Zhao Guoyang did not answer directly, but reminded him.

"Miss Xiuzhu, let me ask you a question. From your South Korea, how many companies can you find that have enough funds to acquire the "Hanbao Steel Company"?"

When he heard that Zhao Guoyang seemed to have some meaning, Jin Xiuzhu was a little confused.

She temporarily put aside the distracting thoughts in her mind and murmured according to Zhao Guoyang's prompt: "Well, although the 'Hanbao Steel Company' has performed poorly in recent years, the lean camel is bigger than a horse, and its market value and fixed asset value are still unquestionable."

"We can count the slap in South Korea that has the strength to acquire the 'Hanbao Steel Company'. It's nothing more than giants such as 'Samsung Electronics', 'Posco Iron Manufacturing', 'LG Group'."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Guoyang agreed and said: "That's right, the companies you mentioned do have enough capital to acquire 'Hanbao Steel Company'."

"However, the businesses of 'Samsung Electronics' and 'LG Group' are not very much in line with the steel industry. The possibility of their acquisition of 'Hanbao Steel' should be slim. I'm right, right?"

After listening to Zhao Guoyang's analysis, Jin Xiuzhu responded repeatedly: "Yes, these two companies should indeed be ruled out first."

"Because although their total assets are high enough, they are completely laymen to the steel manufacturing industry. Even if they acquire 'Hanbao Steel Company', they will only continue to lose money, which is really meaningless."

"That's right!" Zhao Guoyang said with approval, "Then among the remaining companies, the smelting equipment and brand reputation of 'Posco Iron Manufacturing' itself must be above 'Hanbao Steel Company'. There is no need to spend a lot of effort to acquire a similar company that is obviously on the decline, right?"

"With that fund, it might as well open a few more branches or acquire some small, but well-equipped small steel smelters!"

Kim Soo-joo still agrees with Zhao Guoyang's analysis, and immediately said: "Yes, Guoyang. I don't think it's possible to make 'Posco Iron'."

"The reason is very simple. The two giants in the steel manufacturing industry had too many conflicts of interest in our South Korea and the contradiction was too deep. The cold rolled steel incident a few years ago made the relationship between the two sides almost drop to freezing point."

"Even if 'Posco Iron and Steel' wants to acquire 'Hanbao Steel Company', the other party will definitely not surrender, but will do its best to deal with it..."

When Zhao Guoyang heard this, he couldn't help but smile and said, "I understand, you think that when the 'Hanbao Steel Company' faces 'Posco Iron and Steel', he will definitely 'better to break the jade than to make the whole thing', right?"

"That's right, that's what I think!" Jin Xiuzhu blurted out.

After the two analyzed this, Zhao Guoyang had basically guessed the buyer of "Hanbao Steel Company".

He slowly reminded Jin Xiuzhu: "Since these super-large consortiums cannot acquire shares of 'Hanbao Steel Company', who else can be left?"

Listening to Zhao Guoyang's words, Jin Xiuzhu seemed to gradually realize it.

She pondered: "If we talk about economic strength, there is also a 'Hyundai Group' in South Korea that has enough strength to acquire it. In addition, 'Kia Group' and our 'Daewoo Group' can barely get it together, and it may be possible to do it..."

Speaking of this, Kim Soo-joo suddenly figured out something.
