Chapter 77 A Bad Start
"Damu Mountain?" Mike's tone was a bit doubtful on the phone, "Isn't that a forest park? I remember that place, the scenery is good."
“No, Mike, it’s Damushan Group, not Damushan,” An Rusong said.
He briefly introduced the situation of Damushan Group, and then said: "That's it, Mike, I recently bought a house in the Ruidao residential project developed by Damushan Group. Two houses, but today I heard that their financial situation seems to be in trouble, and they have some disputes with Xinhan Financial."
He paused and said, "I'm a little worried about myself. investment, so I want to ask someone about it.”
"So that's it," Mike said on the phone without any doubt, "I don't know much about this Damushan Group, but I can help you find out."
"Oh, Thank you so much, Mike, you really helped me a lot," An Rusong quickly thanked me.
"You're welcome, Ann, we are friends," Mike said cheerfully, and then said goodbye.
Actually, An Rusong didn't have much hope in getting information from Mike. He just needed to contact him from time to time and ask for a small favor or something.
If someone always asks for something from others, it is likely to arouse the resentment of the other person. But this also depends on the situation. The most important point is whether the favor you ask the other party to do will exceed the other party's ability.
If it is a very troublesome matter, just like what An Rusong did with Park Zhenji before, he will never ask Mike for help, because it is likely to make the other party feel embarrassed, and it is impossible to bring the two people closer by frequently making others feel embarrassed. Relational.
But if you ask others for help because of some inconspicuous things, it will actually bring the relationship between the two parties closer to a certain extent. Because when the other party helps, they will also have a psychological advantage. To put it bluntly, they will feel that they have lost a favor.
Human beings are very strange creatures. The same two friends, one friend owes him a favor, and at the same time, he owes a favor to the other friend. If this person is allowed to choose, he will definitely prefer to get along with the friend who owes him a favor.
And An Rusong is using small means like this to gradually draw closer to Mike.
After hanging up the phone from Mike, An Rusong turned over and sat up from the sofa, flipping Yuan He, who was leaning on him, directly onto the sofa, and then stood up with bare feet.
"Brother, don't you want a piece of watermelon?" Yuan Ya asked loudly when she saw him walking to the door of the living room and picking up a shirt from the clothes rack.
“I’m not going to eat,” An Rusong waved his hand and said without looking back, “I still have something to do, so I’ll come back in two days.”
From the old house in Daogudong After coming out, An Rusong drove straight to Zhao Jingsheng's private house in Nantiling. The latter had been living there since he left the Samsung Treatment Center, like a secluded behind-the-scenes boss.
However, before An Rusong arrived at Nantiling, Mike's call came.
Americans with a certain background have great energy in Korea. In only about twenty minutes, Mike got some information.
On the phone, Mike told An Rusong that from the news he had heard, Damushan Group seemed to be involved in a political struggle. He did not know the more specific situation, but a friend who provided him with information said that the troubles encountered by the Damusan Group seemed to be related to the recent investigation of Congressman Kong Xingjin by the Grand Inspection Office.
Is Kongxing Town under investigation by the Grand Inspection Office?
An Rusong didn’t know anything about this news because there were no relevant reports in any media.
Gong Xingzhen is a big boss of the conservatives in Korean politics and a big boss of the Grand National Party. A figure like this is still beyond the reach of An Rusong today, but don’t forget that Shen Taian is I'm working for Kongxing Town.
Nowadays, the relationship between the Zhao Jingsheng brothers and Shen Tai'an has become much estranged, but in the final analysis, both parties still have interests. To a certain extent, the existence of Shen Tai'an is still that of the Zhao Jingsheng brothers. A protective umbrella for two.
From this point of view, if Kong Xingzhen is killed by the Grand Inspection Office, Shen Tai'an will definitely not have any good fruits to eat. By the way, the Zhao brothers will probably be unlucky as well.
Fortunately, when Zhao Jingsheng called just now, he was gloating about the misfortune of Damushan Real Estate. He did not expect that if the Liu family was unlucky in this matter, life would be easier for the two brothers. No.
Actually, if you think about it carefully, the relationship between the Zhao brothers and Liu Taihe is really complicated now.
If the political power of Kong Xingzhen is regarded as a political party, then the Zhao brothers and Liu Taihe should be two opposing parties within this party. It's just that among the two parties, Liu Taihe's Damushan Group is closer to the core of the party. As for the Zhao brothers, they are completely "sacrificial" figures on the fringes of the party and can be discarded at any time. of that type of existence.
After thinking about this, An Rusong couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
By the way, what on earth did I think when I chose to be in the same camp as Zhao Chenghao and Zhao Jingsheng? Wasn't it bad to choose Liu Taihe? Even if you choose Shen Tai'an, that's fine. If that was the case, why was it that he was having such a difficult time? However, looking back, An Rusong himself knew very well that even if he wanted to choose to side with Liu Taihe or Shen Tai'an, others had to like him.
As mentioned before, Liu Taihe is the son of a chaebol family, while Shen Tai'an is a high-class lawyer. What is he An Rusong? A country bumpkin from Gangwon Province, who needs a diploma but not a diploma, and an identity but not an identity, has what qualifications does he have to join the upper class circles?
So, his identity has been bound to the Zhao brothers from the beginning, because they are both at the bottom, the so-called shit people.
Assholes, it is always difficult to go up, but An Rusong can also see clearly, so what do you say? Only when you feel hardship can you prove that you are on an uphill road.
The car drove to Nantiling and stopped outside the ordinary-looking house. When An Rusong opened the door and got out of the car, he happened to see Zhao Chenghao, who was hanging by one arm, walking hurriedly from the yard. come out.
"Brother Cheng Hao," An Rusong greeted the other party, waving his hand.
"Rusong," Zhao Chenghao stopped and said with a smile, "You came just in time. Let's go and watch the fun with me."
Before, because of the incident of killing Park Jin-hee , Zhao Chenghao had a lot of objections to An Rusong, but this guy was simple-minded, but after only a few days, he had completely forgotten about An Rusong betraying him.
"What fun are you watching?" An Rusong asked curiously.
"Where else can I watch the excitement? Of course I want to see the excitement of the Liu family." Zhao Chenghao grabbed his arm when he came up and tried to drag him away while saying, "Over there in Sinchon-dong is the Ruido Residence. Now it has I was surrounded by people who bought the house, and many people were asking for their money back.”
An Rusong was stunned for a moment, and then realized that someone was deliberately targeting Damushan Group.
Originally, the matter of Damushan Group’s loan extension being rejected happened just a few hours ago, and it was not widely reported by newspapers and other media. How did those who bought the houses get it? You know?
While he was stunned, Zhao Chenghao had already dragged him a few steps. An Rusong quickly broke away and said, "Go on your own, I have something to do with Brother Jing Sheng."
Hearing what he said, Zhao Chenghao stopped and asked, "What do you want from him?"
"I got some news and I need to communicate with Brother Jing Sheng," An Rusong took the opportunity to shake off his hand, said casually, turned around and walked towards the yard.
"Oh?" Zhao Chenghao turned to look at his back. After being stunned for two seconds, he seemed to suddenly think of something and said loudly, "Hey, wait!"
But Unexpectedly, An Rusong was worried that this guy would pester him, so he quickened his pace and rushed into the yard in a hurry, heading straight for the main entrance of the house.
As a result, when he took off his shoes in front of the corridor of the residence and walked into the main reception hall, he was shocked to find that in addition to Zhao Jingsheng in a wheelchair, there was also a middle-aged man in the living room. Who else could it be if it wasn't Shen Tai'an?
"Rusong is here," Shen Tai'an put down the teacup in his hand and said calmly when he saw An Rusong coming in from the door.
"Uncle Tai'an," An Rusong was greatly annoyed. If he had known that this guy was here, he would have just followed Zhao Chenghao to watch the fun. But no matter what he thought in his heart, he still had to salute the old guy respectfully.
"Well," Shen Tai'an nodded and said, "Sit down."
An Rusong bowed slightly again, then walked to the tea table and sat down carefully.
Perhaps because of the presence of outsiders, Shen Tai'an was silent for a long time, and then he said: "In five days, it will be your father's death anniversary. Don't forget to give him a blessing then. "Courtesy."
After a pause, he continued: "Just now I and You should also think carefully about what you said. Unlike Cheng Hao, he is young and vigorous and cannot bear to be wronged, so there are some things I can't say to him, but as his brother, you should have some sense in your heart. , you have to know how to choose on some issues.”
"I understand, Uncle Tai'an," Zhao Jingsheng looked very calm, he nodded slightly and said.
"Well, now that you understand, I'm relieved," Shen Tai'an said, then pressed his hands on the coffee table in front of him and stood up with difficulty.
"I have a commission to go to court in the afternoon, so I won't stay here for long," the old guy said after glancing at An Rusong, who was getting up. "You young people, let's talk."
After speaking, he smiled, showing a rather amiable elder attitude.
