Chapter 274 Chance Encounter
Han Meiyan has confidence in An Rusong. Of course, it can also be said that she has confidence in NGN Company. Moreover, her confidence is not without reason. Take her investment in NGN Company for example. Can the rate of return be described as amazing? The answer is obviously no. Its rate of return is so high that it cannot be described as amazing.

The most important thing is that the current evaluation given by the financial magazine is only an evaluation after all. It says that the valuation of NGN should be 15 billion or 20 billion, which is just a number given by it. The real question is, according to this valuation, who can buy the shares of NGN? Yes, many people are optimistic about the future of NGN, and even Google has made a gesture to acquire it, but NGN is not listed now. Except for the existing four shareholders, there are no NGN shares in circulation.

As long as there are no problems in the development of NGN company, it will be able to promote the second round of financing in a year or two at most, and then go public. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that there are many big players waiting around, waiting for the next round of financing of NGN company. By that time, with the entry of various financing giants, the valuation of NGN will be pushed higher.

Therefore, for Han Miyan, the investment in NGN is the most successful investment she has ever made. What she has to do now is to keep her shares in NGN as much as possible. If she wants to achieve this goal, she is doomed to rely on An Rushong's support.

Of course, compared to Han Meiyan, An Rushong is more confident about the future of NGN. After all, he is the decision maker of the company, and only he knows what path NGN will take.

The key point is that what NGN company can bring to him is not just wealth, but also many hidden things, such as influence and power.

At night, Shilla Hotel.

A black Mercedes-Benz slowly drove into the hotel's underground parking lot amidst the fine snow.

Perhaps because it was the weekend, there were a lot of cars in the hotel's underground parking lot tonight. Luo Minzhi drove all the way to the E2 area before he found an empty parking space. He parked the car, turned off the engine, and immediately got out to open the door for An Rushong.

Tonight, An Rusong was dressed more formally, in a dark blue suit and a light-colored tie, which made him look handsome and tall. In such weather, such attire is not suitable for ordinary people because it is not very effective in keeping out the cold, but for wealthy people like An Rusong, it doesn't matter, after all, they don't need to go out in the wind and snow to make a living.

The reason why An Rushong came to Shilla Hotel tonight and dressed so formally was because he had a very important meeting tonight. The person he was meeting was Jenny's "boss", Church Leonard, deputy director of Asian affairs at the US NSA.

An Rushong had been "looking forward" to this meeting for a long time. To be honest, as for the prior preparations, apart from dressing more formally, he didn't have much to do, because he had no idea about Leonard, his personality and hobbies, nor did he know the topics to discuss with him. Such a meeting was actually very passive for him.

The most crucial point is that An Rushong can be sure that Leonard must have a lot of information about him in his hands. He may know exactly how many lovers he has and who he has slept with more often.

That's right, even though you are very angry with the Americans, you should never underestimate their strength. Their intelligence work is extremely thorough. An Rushong remembers very clearly that in his previous life, the brothers Da Mao and Er Mao were brothers who lived together against the wall, and Da Mao was badly betrayed by the Americans' intelligence system.

Even Russia is like this, let alone him, a Korean citizen.

Furthermore, the Americans even monitor their own citizens, so how can South Korea be considered a citizen in the eyes of the Americans? Aren't they just domestic slaves?

But then again, although he was well aware that he and the other party were in an extremely unequal position, An Rushong was still determined. In front of this deputy director-level figure of the NSA, he had to maintain an attitude of neither humble nor arrogant. After all, in addition to being a Korean citizen, he was also a rising star in the international Internet industry and a hot figure in the Internet finance sector. Even for the sake of smooth cooperation, the other party could not be too arrogant.

Accompanied by Luo Minzhi, he rushed to the elevator closest to area E2.

Interestingly, there was a young man wearing a black coat and white gloves standing at the elevator door. When he saw An Rushong and the other person coming over, the young man bowed to them, greeted them, and then quickly pressed the elevator button - it was obvious that this was a waiter arranged by the hotel.

An Rushong has been coming to the Shilla Hotel quite frequently recently, but when he came before, there was no elevator attendant at the elevator door of the underground garage.

The elevator quickly arrived at the underground parking lot. When the elevator door slowly opened with a "ding" sound, An Rusong saw that there was already someone in the elevator. It was a young woman in a white dress and a bun. At the moment the elevator door opened, the woman took the lead in bowing to An Rusong and the others, and asked a question.

An Rusong then realized that the woman was the elevator lady, and like the young man waiting outside the elevator, she was also a new service staff of the hotel. After entering the elevator and telling the elevator lady the floor he was going to, An Rusong secretly laughed in his heart: Recently, there was a rumor that the Samsung Lee family was preparing to make a large-scale personnel adjustment. It was very likely that the current chairman was not feeling well and was preparing to clear the way for his son to take the position.

In fact, it is normal to think about it. Samsung Chairman Lee took advantage of the conflict between progressives and conservatives in the political arena, maneuvered around, bet on both sides, and reaped the benefits from both sides. In just two years, through a so-called "charitable donation" project that would never be implemented, he got rid of the public's condemnation of him and smoothly transferred the shares of Samsung C&T and Samsung Everland to his son Lee Jae-young in a tax-free manner.

Now that all the preparations have been completed, Samsung Chairman Lee will naturally begin to officially support his son to take the position. As for his promise two years ago not to hand over Samsung to his son and not to run Samsung in a family style, it was just a means to deceive people. Who can take it seriously?

However, the person who was most affected by Lee Jae-young's rise to power was probably the princess of Samsung, right? In order to compete with Lee Jae-young for the control of Samsung, the princess even sacrificed her marriage. What was the result? In a family with strong traditional values, personal ability can never compare to the thinking of favoring boys over girls. No matter how much Lee Jae-young lost in the past few years, no matter how ugly the troubles he caused, his status as the eldest son of the Lee family was enough to defeat the Samsung princess who refused to be outdone.

Now that the next generation head of the Samsung Group has been decided, Chairman Lee will naturally give some compensation to his competitive daughter, and the Shilla Hotel and part of the shares of Samsung Everland and Samsung C&T are the best means of compensation.

Not to mention the ups and downs of the family infighting among the chaebols, let's just talk about the eldest daughter of Samsung who has completely taken control of the Shilla Hotel. The shares of Samsung Everland and Samsung C&T in her hands are limited. She can use them to eat and get dividends, but it is impossible for her to have a certain voice. Therefore, if she does not want to be a mere rentier and wants to further prove that she is stronger than Lee Jae-young, she can only pin all her hopes on the Shilla Hotel.

Only by running the Shilla Hotel well and achieving sufficient results can she tell everyone that she, the eldest daughter of Samsung, is always better than the heir chosen by her father.

Therefore, in An Rushong's opinion, if nothing unexpected happens, Shilla Hotel will probably have a series of projects to carry out in the future.

"Ding!"

Just as he was thinking about all sorts of things, the elevator suddenly stopped. With a slight ding sound, two silver elevator doors slowly opened.

Just as the elevator door slowly opened, three figures appeared outside the elevator door.

The three figures were two women and one man. The one standing in the middle, closest to the elevator, was a woman with long, slightly curly hair and wearing a dark blue woolen dress. The remaining one man and one woman stood behind her, one on each side. Both of them were wearing black suits and looked like white-collar workers.

The moment she saw the three people, the elevator girl bowed and saluted. Not only did she salute, she also greeted them respectfully: "Good evening, President."

That’s right, An Rushong also recognized her at this time. The woman standing in the middle outside the door was none other than the Samsung’s eldest daughter Li Fuzhen whom he had just thought of.

Li Fuzhen ignored the elevator girl's greeting, but An Rushong, who was standing on the inside, attracted her attention a little. This was mainly because the suit An Rushong was wearing was the same color as her skirt. At first glance, it looked like the two of them were wearing couple outfits.

The contrasting colors of the clothes obviously made Li Fuzhen feel a little unhappy. She frowned, glanced at her eyes with light eyeshadow, and swept across An Rushong's face before walking into the elevator.

The two people following behind her hurried in. Perhaps because An Rushong was a guest, when they entered the elevator and walked around behind Li Fuzhen, they bowed to An Rushong and then stood between him and Li Fuzhen.

In the past period of time, this was not the first time that An Rushong had seen Li Fuzhen, but he had only seen her from a distance. Today was the first time he had seen her so close.
