Resource Tycoon Reborn

Internationally, except for those figures in the political arena, the vast majority of ordinary people will not pay much attention to the resignation of the South Korean Prime Minister. At most, they will sigh with emotion. It is really difficult to be an official in South Korea. How can the Prime Minister be like a revolving door?

It’s fine if neither one lasts long.

But in South Korea, this is a big deal. Which official who can reach that height does not have his own faction, allies, and circle? Which one does not have a group of people standing behind him? Even if he is

No matter how impartial and honest he is, he represents a large part of the population, not an individual. The resignation of the South Korean Prime Minister, and the forced resignation in such a way that there is no reputation, is not only for him personally, but also for the country where he works.

This is a big loss for the small factions! Although there are many officials who fell and rose again in the history of South Korea, this kind of thing is ultimately a stain on his personal career, and it is impossible to

The stain that was erased was also the weakness that other parties would use to attack him in the future.

President Roh felt particularly sad about this. He originally regarded this person as his future successor to train, a person who has worked for many years as the prime minister, the most important administrative assistant to the President of South Korea, and a person who once

If the man hailed by many South Korean media as "the most powerful prime minister in history" can participate in South Korea's presidential election in the future, he will have an overwhelming advantage over other candidates.

President Roh was born into a civilian family in South Korea. He never went to college. He took the exams for many years through self-study to obtain the lawyer qualification certificate. From then on, he embarked on the right path of career development. It can be said that it was a difficult journey to reach his current status. Although

He said that now he can no longer say that he is still a civilian, but he still has not forgotten his original intention of entering politics. After all, he wants to do something for the people and this country.

However, his right-hand man, who was also his favorite future successor, had to resign and withdraw from the government due to his own misconduct. This not only disappointed his expectations for him, but also brought serious political problems to himself.

crisis.

President Roh is very worried that the next South Korean presidential and congressional elections will be dominated by the opposition parties, and his achievements in governance over the years will be partially or even completely overturned, and South Korea's future will once again be dominated by pro-American factions.

The North-South relations, which he and the previous South Korean president had worked hard to ease, will once again become tense.

Although South Korea's economic development is far better than that of its northern compatriots, it does not necessarily have much of an advantage in terms of military strength. More importantly, once the war breaks out, even if South Korea with the support of the United States wins the final victory, let alone

To say whether the Korean Peninsula can be unified is to say that even if the Korean Peninsula is unified, what will be left is a mess. South Korea's economy may be set back for decades because of this! This is definitely not an exaggeration. South Korea's political, economic, technological, and cultural center is Seoul. Seoul

The total economic output of the urban area accounts for nearly half of South Korea's economy! And the many artillery pieces scattered in the north along the military demarcation line between South Korea and North Korea have a range that can completely cover the urban area of ​​Seoul. Unless a war breaks out, the South Korean side will

It can sweep away the military forces hundreds of kilometers deep north of the military demarcation line. Otherwise, Seoul will face the threat of large-scale artillery bombardment from the other side. It is enough to turn the entire Seoul into a sea of ​​​​fire! In his opinion, such a victory

, it’s okay not to.

Therefore, he inherited the "sunshine policy" of the previous South Korean president and devoted himself to the reconciliation between the North and the South on the Korean Peninsula. He eased the tension between the North and the South, continued to provide economic assistance to the North, and carried out North-South economic cooperation. During his term of office.

The road and sea connections that have been interrupted for half a century have been realized, and negotiations are ongoing to connect the two sides by rail. If the two sides can connect on the rails and reach an agreement on innocent passage, Korean goods can be

Through the North Korean railway and the railways of Russia and China, there is a steady stream of shipments to the hinterland of Asia, which will undoubtedly save a lot of transportation time. But now it seems that all this may come to nothing after he leaves office.

In the past few years, there have been numerous criticisms of his actions. They believe that his actions are suspected of colluding with the enemy. He believes that South Korea should further increase sanctions on the North to force the Kim regime to bow its head and even make the North

Civil strife occurred, thus achieving the unification of the south and the north.

Worry has kept him awake at night for the past few days, and there are still many state affairs that need to be handled by him during the day, so he is obviously losing weight.

"Sir, we are getting ready to go to Ssangyong Motor Company for inspection." his personal assistant reminded him in a low voice.

"Huh? It's time?" President Lu looked up at the wall clock in surprise. Sure enough, he didn't have much time left.

President Lu packed up the documents on the table, put them next to the table, stood up and walked out. Ssangyong Motor Company is an important member of the Korean automobile industry. Although it was said to be in trouble and on the verge of bankruptcy in the past two years, it was

After the acquisition by Samsung Group, thanks to Li Jianxi's vigorous rectification, it has now shown signs of prosperity. Today is the day when Ssangyong Motor Company's new model officially rolls off the production line. Li Jianxi personally called him two days ago to invite him.

Come to inspect and boost the morale of Ssangyong Motor Company employees.

President Lu attaches great importance to this invitation. On the one hand, as the economic status of Samsung Group continues to improve in South Korea, it goes without saying that Li Jianxi's social status is natural. If he cannot get his support, at least

Otherwise, the president's position may be unstable. On the other hand, President Lu himself also needs to use this method to boost his domestic support.

Moreover, Samsung Group has recently relented and agreed to consider selecting a few of Samsung Group's companies to be listed in South Korea. This can be said to play a very important role in improving the confidence of Korean investors. The top ten large business groups in South Korea

Among them, except for those that are completely state-owned, only the Samsung Group has never had a company listed on the stock market and has always been outside the stock market. In this regard, there are high voices from the Korean economic circle and the public, hoping that the Samsung Group can have companies listed. On the one hand

Samsung Group can obtain more development funds, and on the other hand, it can also allow Chinese people to share the dividends of Samsung Group's rapid development.

Of course, President Roh has always attached great importance to Samsung Group, not only because it is the largest enterprise group in South Korea, but also because it is, to be precise, a Sino-Korean joint venture. Samsung Group is the largest shareholder

It is not the Li family, but a Hong Kong company called Zhuang Hai Investment Company. This is not a secret among South Korea’s upper-class circles. However, considering the public’s reaction and the objection of Zhuang Hai Investment Company, Samsung Group

It is not a listed company, so it has never been announced to the public.

Although, as a Korean, emotionally speaking, he naturally does not hope that the major shareholder of Samsung Group, South Korea's largest enterprise, is actually a Hong Kong investment company, and although the owner of this investment company has never

It has been made public, but everyone familiar with it knows that it must be the Pingchuan Fang family in China. Therefore, there has always been a voice in the small circles of South Korea's upper class, asking the government to come forward and persuade Li Jianxi and Zhuang Hai Investment Company to change their equity

proportion, or to admit new shareholders, at least to ensure that the controlling stake of Samsung Group Company should be in the hands of Koreans.

The Li family, headed by Li Jianxi, turned a deaf ear to the calls from the small circle of upper class society and paid no attention at all. Zhuanghai Investment Company, which had no offices in South Korea, let alone one, had no response at all.

This made many Koreans who were interested in investing in Samsung Group companies angry.

President Roh can understand the thoughts of these people, whether it is from the perspective of national honor or personal interests, but from a long-term rational perspective, President Roh does not support these people's actions. Zhuanghai Investment Company has become a major shareholder of Samsung Group.

There are historical reasons for shareholders. When the Asian financial crisis broke out, South Korea fell into the predicament of high debts and was unable to repay. These large domestic enterprise groups also faced the risk of bankruptcy. Zhuanghai Investment Company acquired the shares at a reasonable price at the time.

Samsung Group's shares. It is precisely because of Zhuanghai Investment Company's investment that the Samsung Group, which was also facing a large amount of due debt that could not be repaid, has been stabilized. It has also stabilized a large number of companies doing business with the Samsung Group.

The companies that came and went played a non-negligible role in South Korea's ability to revitalize its economy.

If word gets out that people are begging others to invest during times of crisis, and when the economy improves and corporate profit margins increase, and companies are forced to withdraw their shares, South Korea's image in the international community and economic circles will be ruined.

Moreover, the Hirakawa Fang family is behind Zhuanghai Investment Company. If the Koreans force the other party to withdraw its shares from Samsung Group Company, won't they worry about the other party's retaliation? Not to mention that these large domestic corporate groups in South Korea now have investments in China, as long as

Look at the pitiful governments of Indonesia and India. To this day, they still face accusations from the international media that they are not grateful and only ungrateful. The heads of state still have to publicly apologize for this scandal from time to time.

, you can imagine what South Korea will look like in the future.

Moreover, the reason why Samsung Group has developed so rapidly over the years is also related to its large-scale investment in China. How could it have been so smooth without the cooperation of the Fang family?

It's just that he doesn't support it, and he can't clearly express his opposition to it. After all, if he wants to stabilize his current status, he can't easily stand on the opposite side of those people, and how can Li Jianxi bow his head so easily?

person?

Regarding the arrival of President Roh, Li Jianxi led the core management of Samsung Group and the core management of Ssangyong Motors to greet President Roh in front of the factory building. Reporters from many media were also present. During Li Jianxi’s visit

Accompanied by President Lu, he inspected the assembly line of Kunpeng, Ssangyong Motor Company's new SUV model. After driving in the car for a while, he was full of praise for Kunpeng's performance and comfort.

Soon it was approaching noon. In the box of the factory cafeteria of Ssangyong Motors, Li Jianxi and President Lu sat opposite each other at a round table. Their assistants had been sent out the door.

"What does President Li want to talk to me about and make it so mysterious?" President Lu asked with a smile. From the moment he received Li Jianxi's invitation, he had a feeling that this trip to Ssangyong Motor Company

, I'm afraid it's not that simple. It was just as he expected. Judging from the situation, Li Jianxi obviously had something important to discuss with him.

"Your Excellency, it's not that I want to talk to you, but that someone wants to talk to you." Li Jianxi said calmly, "Your Excellency, please wait a moment." After saying that, Li Jianxi walked out of the room without saying a word.

After a while, a young man wearing a peaked cap covering the upper half of his face was brought in from outside. President Lu looked at him up and down a little strangely. From a safety point of view, there must be no problem with the person Li Jianxi brought personally.

, so he wasn't worried about anything, he was just curious about what Li Jianxi's intention was.

The young man took off his hat casually, sat down at the table, and then said to President Lu in English: "Your Excellency, I'm sorry that I don't know Korean, but I heard that your English is good, so there is no need to specialize

Looking for a translator."

Only then did President Lu see the young man's appearance clearly, and he couldn't help being surprised and said: "You are 'Fang', Fang Mingyuan from the Pingchuan Fang family!" Although Fang Mingyuan's appearance is a mystery to most people,

But for the president of a country, it is not too difficult to get Fan Mingyuan's photos. But he did not expect why Fan Mingyuan suddenly appeared here and in this way! If Fan Mingyuan wanted to see him, he could just send a message

Speaking of which, he had to give some face. After all, as far as he knew, Fang Mingyuan could request to meet with the Prime Minister of China and Japan at any time. Even if he wanted to meet with the President of the United States, it must not be that difficult. Although he is from South Korea

The president and head of state are not so arrogant as to think that their status in the international community is higher than these three.

"I am Fang Mingyuan. Please forgive me for meeting the President in this way." Fang Mingyuan picked up the wine glass on the table, poured a glass for himself and President Lu, and raised his glass, "Let's do it first as a courtesy, even if it's...

My apology." After saying that, Fang Mingyuan raised his neck and downed a glass of Korean soju. Although Korean soju is called soju, it is not on the same level as Chinese liquor, and the alcohol content is equivalent to that of Chinese liquor.

rice wine, so Fang Mingyuan is not worried about getting drunk if he drinks too much wine. (To be continued...)
