Chapter 207 Poor Ryu
"If I win..."
"You go and talk to KoFC for me! Help me secure the 17.5% share of Hynix!"
"If I lose..." Li Feng pondered for a moment, then threw out a bargaining chip that would shake the entire semiconductor industry in South Korea and even the world!
"I currently hold a 17.5% stake in Nvidia."
"If I lose, I will transfer all these shares to your Samsung Group at market price!"
Nvidia's 17.5% stake?!
When Lee Jae-yong heard this offer, his breath hitched and his heart pounded like a war drum!
He knew all too well how tempting Nvidia was!
In May of this year, Nvidia just implemented a massive stock buyback program of up to $10 billion! Currently, there's a severe shortage of shares available on the market; even with money, you can't buy them!
Li Feng is actually willing to gamble with 17.5% of the shares?!
Lee Jae-yong's mind was racing.
"He's trying to cash out!"
Lee Jae-yong came to a "perfect" deduction in his mind: "The friction between Dongda University and the US in the technology field has been increasing recently. Li Feng must be feeling the pressure from the US Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) and is afraid that his shares will be frozen and confiscated!"
"He's trying to use this seemingly absurd bet to find a graceful way out and pass this hot potato to Samsung!"
Lee Jaeyong became more and more excited as he thought about it!
If he can go with the flow and acquire 17.5% of Nvidia's shares for Samsung Group, then his position as the Samsung heir will be unshakeable!
"Alright, Mr. Li! I'll take this bet!"
Fearing that Li Feng might change his mind, Li Zairong immediately agreed.
Just then, the door to the private room was pushed open.
Lee Jae-yong's personal assistant rushed in and whispered a reminder in his ear:
"Vice Chairman, there's a meeting about the monitor business at the group headquarters at 9 PM tonight. The car is ready; wouldn't you like to head out?"
"Cancel it!"
Lee Jae-yong waved his hand, his eyes fixed on the match on the screen: "Each game will only last forty minutes at most!"
"I'm not going anywhere today; I'm just staying here with Boss Li and watching the game!"
......
Inside the VIP box, the game unfolded exactly as Li Feng had predicted, with a stunning and jaw-dropping reversal.
In the third game, the SKT team, which had been pushed to the brink, seemed to suddenly awaken and crushed the previously unstoppable KTB team with overwhelming force, easily winning the game.
In the fourth game, SKT's offensive became even more aggressive, and the rookie mid laner named Faker seemed to be possessed by a god of death, leading the team to win another game!
The score is now tied at 2-2!
The immense pressure of winning two consecutive sets made the atmosphere in the entire Jamsil Gymnasium tense.
Meanwhile, Lee Jae-yong, the heir of Samsung, who was sitting in the VIP box, was extremely uncomfortable.
Cold sweat poured down his forehead uncontrollably, and he frequently took out a silk handkerchief to wipe it away.
It wasn't that he was heartbroken about losing those shares in Hynix, but rather the eerie feeling that everything was under the other party's control, which made him, as the person in charge, feel an unprecedented sense of oppression!
Li Feng leaned back on the sofa, watching Li Zairong's restless appearance, but did not say anything to mock him.
After all, the acquisition of Hynix shares will still rely on the heir's operations in South Korea, and he does have that much business acumen.
"Xinyu." Li Feng tilted his head slightly and instructed in a calm tone, "Go brew a pot of honeysuckle tea to help President Li cool down."
"Okay, boss." Zhang Xinyu tactfully stepped aside and quickly brought over two cups of cooling and detoxifying tea.
"President Li, have some tea and calm down. The charm of e-sports lies in the fact that no one knows the outcome until the very last moment." Li Feng picked up his teacup and smiled as he gestured.
"Thank you..." Lee Jaeyong picked up the teacup, but his hand was trembling slightly.
The fifth round has officially begun!
According to the rules of the OGN region, the decisive game, which goes to five games, will adopt the "Blind Pick" mode, which does not ban heroes and allows repeated selections!
Coincidentally, KTB's mid laner Ryu and SKT's mid laner Faker, without knowing each other's lineups, both locked in the same champion in this game - Zed, the Master of Shadows!
In the 32nd minute of the match, in front of the central high ground tower.
A moment worthy of being recorded in the history of global esports has arrived with a bang, right before the eyes of Li Feng and Li Taizi!
In the video, Faker is controlling Zed, who has less than a third of his health remaining, and is pushing down the enemy's high ground tower.
Meanwhile, Ryu, controlling Zed who was almost at full health, flanked from behind, attempting to kill him!
Everyone thought Faker was doomed.
However, in the blink of an eye!
Faker's Zed unleashed his ultimate like a ghost, instantly dispelling Ignite with Quicksilver Sash, flashing to dodge the Deadly Gauntlet, and then using the extreme mobility of his Shadow Clone, he used a few auto-attacks and precise skill damage amidst a hail of bullets to turn the tables and kill the full-health Ryu!
A player with a sliver of health defeats a player with full health!
"Faker!!! What was that?!!!"
Accompanied by the commentator's almost hoarse shouts, the dome of the entire stadium was nearly blown off by the screams of the audience!
A battle of two titans, a battle that will make you a god!
With this miraculous comeback, SKT swept through KTB's base crystal and destroyed it.
A stunning comeback from 0-2 down to 3-2!
Silence fell over the private room.
Lee Jaeyong's face was ashen. He stared blankly at SKT holding up the championship trophy on the screen, then turned to look at Lee Feng, whose expression hadn't wavered at all from beginning to end.
"Mr. Li...you've won." Even with his excellent self-control, he felt utterly humiliated and didn't want to stay in that private room for another second.
"I will personally negotiate with KoFC regarding Hynix's shares. I will have my assistant liaise with your company's legal department."
"I have other matters to attend to at the company, so I'll take my leave now." Lee Jae-yong gave a slight bow and hurriedly left with his assistant.
"Thank you very much, President Li. I look forward to hearing good news." Li Feng smiled and watched him leave.
……
Sitting in the car returning to Samsung headquarters, the Seoul night view outside the window rushed past, but Prince Lee was reviewing tonight's gamble.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong!
Li Feng was certain from the beginning that SKT would win! He wasn't worried about the US scrutiny at all; he just wanted to cash out his Nvidia shares!
"That terrifying Boss Lee..." Lee Jae-yong was indeed shocked.
"Damn it!"
The thought of being treated as a pawn by the dignified heir of Samsung filled Lee Jaeyong with unvented rage, and the image of that useless guy on the screen who was killed by a full-health opponent flashed through his mind!
"Go and say hello to the tournament league! This trash, even with a 2-0 lead and three match points, still managed to get turned around! He was killed by a player with a sliver of health while at full strength, does he even know how to play the game?!" Lee Jae-yong ordered his assistant furiously.
"Get him out of the Korean esports scene! Ban him completely! I never want to see his face on the Korean stage again!"
This is the wrath of the chaebol.
Poor Ryu not only lost his composure in the match, but also had to leave his hometown because he offended the prince, thus beginning a long period of wandering.
