Chapter 120 Besieged on all sides
An Rusong walked over, looked at the meat skewers grilled in the baking pan, and thought to himself: Emotions are BBQ.
"You chopped the onions and garlic," Zhao Jingsheng said as he walked over, shrugging his chin towards the cutting board next to him.
An Rusong obeyed the order, walked to the cutting board to cut the vegetables, and asked: "Brother Jingsheng, is there any happy event today? Otherwise, how could you be interested in doing it?" This barbecue."
"Haha, I'm just happy," Zhao Jingsheng looked at him and said with a smile, "Well, it's a happy event."
"Oh, tell me, let me be happy too," An Rusong joked.
"Didn't you hear that the results of the investigation of Liu Taimin's estate have come out," Zhao Jingsheng said directly without being secretive.
"How much?" An Rusong asked curiously.
“Real estate, deposits and stocks,” Zhao Jingsheng winked at him and said, “added together, the total amount exceeds 370 billion won. Of course, the most important part of it is him. The shares of Damushan Group in his hands."
"Tsk," An Rusong sighed, feeling sad for Han Meiyan. But if you think about it more carefully, it would be great if a quarter of this inheritance could be in her hands.
South Korea's inheritance tax is levied at 50 million won, and the tax rate is as high as 50%. This tax can take away half of Ryu Taemin's entire inheritance.
As for the rest, if Liu Taimin had not left a will before, Han Miyeon should be able to get more property from Liu Taihe through litigation or other means. If Liu Taimin had left a will before, Then the property she can probably get is quite limited.
“The Liu family is in chaos now,” Zhao Jingsheng smiled happily. “Park Xianzhe, Liu Taimin’s personal lawyer before his death, took out a will said to be left by Liu Taimin, and listed it according to this will. With the proposed inheritance distribution method, Liu Taihe was able to obtain the core of Damushan Group, which is nearly 10% of Damushan Holdings, from the inheritance. Twenty-seven equity, thus becoming the actual controller of Damushan Group.”
Before, An Rusong learned about the equity layout model of Damushan Group, a comprehensive enterprise group with South Korea. Like most enterprise groups, they have developed quite complex cross-holding models, the core of which is Damushan Holdings.
In fact, Damushan Holdings itself does not have any industrial assets. It holds the equity of a large number of companies, but its control of each company is limited.
For example, Damushan Holdings itself only holds more than ten percent of the equity of Company A, which is not yet an absolute controlling stake. But it also controls part of the equity of companies B, C, D, E, etc., and these companies each hold part of the equity of company A. In the end, it will be able to control company A. Absolutely a controlling stake.
Of course, this example is a bit simple and inappropriate, but the meaning is this.
In addition, Liu Taihe, as the most valued heir of Liu Taimin, holds part of the equity of Damoshan Holdings, and his brother, Liu Taiming, who is still in prison, also has Some of the shares of Damushan Group are definitely not large in number.
Furthermore, when Liu Taimin was alive, there were a series of "shareholder partners". These partners may all hold certain shares of Damusan Group, but their identities are not suitable to come forward. Those who hold shares in Damushan Group, such as those officials and congressmen who are closely related to Damushan Group. Therefore, their shares are also held by Liu Taimin on behalf of them, while the shareholders themselves only enjoy dividends.
It is through such a series of operations that Liu Taimin can firmly control Damushan Group, a comprehensive enterprise group with dozens of branches, with less than 30% of the group’s equity. .
Now, Ryu Taimin died violently, and the leaders of the new generation group failed to successfully complete the transfer of power. The series of troubles that will follow have long been doomed.
The reason why Zhao Jingsheng smiled so happily when he mentioned that Liu Taimin’s personal lawyer claimed that his former employer had a will was because the sudden appearance of this will not only failed to solve the troubles within Damusan Group, On the contrary, it will also intensify the eruption of internal conflicts.
It is true that Park Hyun-cheol was Ryu Taemin's personal lawyer during his lifetime. He had even served the latter for half his life. But so what? Who can prove that this will is genuine? Who can prove that this will was left by Yoo Taemin while he was conscious? Who can prove that Yoo Taemin did not make a second will after making this will?
The most important point is that Yoo Taemin never announced the existence of this will during his lifetime. It was produced by Park Hyun-cheol himself. This guy is just Yoo Taemin’s personal lawyer. Does he have the authority to do this? ?
Only Liu Taihe himself would approve of the authenticity of this will. As his brother, Liu Taiming, who is still in prison, no matter how cowardly and soulless he is, he will definitely not Will accept it.
In addition, they are not the only two brothers in the Liu family. Those seven aunts and eight aunts will not get any benefits, and they will definitely not approve this will. After all, the appearance of this will itself shows that the property disputes within the Liu family and even the Damushan Group have risen from the bottom of the water to the surface, and it has even become white-hot.
An Rusong could not judge the authenticity of this will, but he was certain that lawyer Park Xianzhe was definitely on Liu Taihe's side. At present, in the drama of the Liu family's property dispute, there is only one will. Next, when the two sides completely break up and start going to court, there is no telling how many dirty tricks will be used behind the scenes.
Because he could understand this, An Rusong smiled and said, "Then there will be a good show to watch. The Liu family may not be able to live in peace for some time in the future."
"Some time in the future?" Zhao Jingsheng smiled and said, "Hey, there's no need to wait for some time in the future, I've already watched this scene now."
After a pause, he continued: "Even if the Liu family didn't jump out to fight for the inheritance and question the authenticity of the will, Mrs. Liu and this guy would not have it easy."
"Oh, how could he? "What?" The onions were very painful to cut, and An Rusong's eyes soon overflowed with tears, but he couldn't help but asked curiously.
“With his ability, he can’t pay nearly 100 billion won in inheritance tax,” Zhao Jingsheng said with a smile, “Now, he has only two options, one is to sell all his shares. The other way is to give up the inheritance.”
As mentioned before, South Korea’s inheritance tax is terrifyingly high. If Ryu Taemin’s inheritance is all in cash, then it’s okay. , at worst, the estate tax can be discounted from the inheritance.
But the problem now is that most of the inheritance that Liu Taihe is planning to take over is the shares of Damushan Group. Although these things have their value, they cannot be equivalent to cash. The most important thing is that even if these shares can be equivalent to cash, Liu Taihe cannot hand over half of these shares. In that case, he will inevitably lose control of Damushan Group.
"Didn't he apply for a loan from the bank or ask for a deferment of inheritance tax?" An Rusong then asked.
Similar to the situation encountered by Liu Taihe, many heirs of large chaebols have encountered it, and the corresponding solution is to apply for a loan from the bank. Of course, if the profit conditions are good, you can also You can apply to the tax collection department for deferred payment or installment payment.
“Think about it, with the current dire situation faced by Damushan Group, is it possible for Liu Taihe to obtain a loan from the bank?” Zhao Jingsheng smiled and motioned for him to gather the chopped onions. , and said, "As for applying for deferred payment or installment payment, haha, don't even think about it." A bad situation” can actually be viewed from two perspectives.
One is that after the continuous problems of Damushan Group, its stock price has continued to decline for more than a month, and the market is generally not optimistic about the group's prospects. Under such circumstances, it is indeed not easy for Liu Taihe to obtain a bank loan.
Another one is that Damushan Group backstabbed Congressman Kong in the previous Ministry of National Defense bribery scandal. Although the sudden death of Liu Taimin makes it difficult for Councilor Kong and his group to continue attacking the Damusan Group in the short term, they cannot use overt methods, but they can still use secret methods and more obscure methods. Use it to your heart's content.
Just like Liu Taihe's application for deferred payment of inheritance tax, Councilor Kong does not even need to come forward in person. As long as his assistant discloses a word to the relevant officials, Liu Taihe's application will not matter. Want to pass.
No wonder Zhao Jingsheng was so happy and put himself in Liu Taihe's shoes. Now he is really in a dilemma.
An Rusong naturally also likes to see such a situation. Although he had always thought that Zhao Jingsheng was irrational and thought that his hatred for Liu Taihe was too strong, which affected his correct judgment, in fact, An Rusong's own hostility towards Liu Taihe is also very high. If there is a chance to kill this guy, he will definitely do it without hesitation.
But if you think about it carefully, where does An Rusong's hostility towards Liu Taihe come from? Could it be that he was startled by Huixiu's corpse under the rain-covering eaves?
No, that is not actually the most fundamental reason. The most fundamental reason is that An Rusong is disgusted and even hates Liu Taihe's attitude of treating ordinary people as trivial.
Yes, that guy's arrogance and superiority are not the reason why An Rusong hates him. It is only his indifference to ordinary people and his inhumanity that treats ordinary people as ants and grass. The most direct reason for An Rusong's hatred of him.
After all, in An Rusong's heart, he is also an ordinary person now, so Liu Taihe and he are actually on opposite sides. As for the future, who can say with certainty what will happen in the future?
