Resource Tycoon Reborn

Fang Mingyuan stayed in Xinjing for four days and then went to South Korea. The film and television city project of Jeju Special Autonomous Province in South Korea has also reached an important stage of negotiation. The Ministry of Culture and Tourism of South Korea attaches great importance to this project and hopes to use this project to promote Jeju Special Autonomy in South Korea.

Road, and even the development of South Korea's tourism and cultural industries, especially now that the economic crisis is approaching, in order to avoid the rapid decline of South Korea's economy, the importance of this project has naturally become more and more prominent.

The global economic crisis caused by the U.S. subprime mortgage crisis has had a very strong impact on the Korean economy. The Korean won exchange rate has been falling since the second half of 2008, and now it has fallen by more than 55%.

, it can be said that it has plummeted. Before the outbreak of the financial crisis in 1997, South Korea's GDP ranked eleventh in the world. It can be said that it was only one step away from becoming the top ten countries with the highest GDP in the world.

One of the best! However, due to the severe impact of the financial crisis on its economy and the rise of emerging countries, South Korea's GDP ranking has been overtaken by India, Brazil and Russia, ranking 15th in 2008.

At the beginning of 2008, Koreans were still very optimistic that in 2008, South Korea's annual gross national product could exceed the trillion-dollar mark and become a member of the trillion-dollar club. However, in 2008

South Korea's GDP in 2008 was only over US$911 billion. Although it still maintained positive growth, it was close to zero growth. Moreover, South Korea's trade deficit in 2008 was US$13.5 billion.

, this is South Korea’s first trade deficit since the 1997 financial crisis. The year before last, it still had a surplus of more than 15 billion US dollars! In early 2009, South Korea’s economic growth was even less optimistic. According to relevant South Korean

According to department statistics, the number of unemployed and semi-unemployed people in South Korea has increased sharply by nearly 180,000, with the total number exceeding 3.3 million, reaching a historical high.

In Fang Mingyuan's villa in Jiangnan District, guests came early in the morning.

"Master Fang, this is a plan jointly drawn up by the Ministry of Culture, Tourism and Tourism of our country and many companies interested in investing in this project. Take a look and see if there are any shortcomings. We will revise it immediately." said the Ministry of Culture, Tourism and Tourism of South Korea.

Vice Minister Pu Shiren handed a plan to Fang Mingyuan with both hands and said politely. Hong Kong Kumho Film Group Co., Ltd. can be said to be the most important shareholder of this film and television city project in Jeju Special Self-Governing Province, not only because Hong Kong

Kumho Film Group Company has brought huge investments, especially because Jeju Film and Television City hopes to learn from the successful experience of Hengyang Film and Television City, and also needs Hong Kong Kumho Film Group Company to help build its reputation internationally! Moreover, Hong Kong Kumho Film and Television City

SM Entertainment Group, a subsidiary of the Film Group Corporation in South Korea, is also one of the important investors in this project.

On the Korean side, it is hoped that this film and television city can integrate film and television shooting and tourism, serve Korean culture, film and television industry, and also promote the common development of the tourism, retail, real estate, hotel, and entertainment industries of Jeju Special Self-Governing Province.

.At this point, Hengyang Film and Television City has done quite well. Today, Hengyang Town has become one of the cores of local economic development, providing strong driving force and a large number of jobs for the development of the local economy.

Jeju Film and Television City, this name is tentatively decided by all parties, is expected to have a total investment of up to 1.7 billion US dollars to build a film and television city as the core, including multiple theme parks, water adventure parks, large amusement parks, high-end businesses and restaurants

, high-end hotel groups, resorts, and many other large-scale comprehensive resorts. Among them, Hong Kong Kumho Film Group Company invests 30%, SM Entertainment Group Company, Samsung Group Company, CJ Group Company, and GS Group jointly invest

Forty-five percent, the Korean government obtained 8% of the shares on the grounds of a project directly managed by the Ministry of Culture, Tourism and Tourism, Jeju Special Self-Governing Province obtained 8% of the shares in exchange for preferential treatment on land and various policies, and the remaining 100%.

Nine-thirds of the shares were swallowed up by the Han Jin consortium, which overwhelmed the others.

Although many people understand that this plan seems to be led by Korean companies, in fact it is the Fang family that takes the initiative. SM Entertainment Group is a subsidiary of Hong Kong Kumho Film Group, and Samsung Group and Fang

Wear a pair of pants at home. The gs group has many cooperations with Pyeongcheon Petroleum Group Company under the Fang family. The Hanjin Foundation is also seeking cooperation with companies under the Fang family. Korean Global Airlines uses Girls’ Generation as its spokesperson.

, it can be seen that it is normal.

But the Korean government has nothing to do about this. If this project has a bright future, it will undoubtedly be completely different with or without the involvement of Hong Kong Kumho Film Group. If it is completed in the future, as long as Hong Kong Kumho Film Group has one or two movies here

By then, it will be impossible for it not to become famous all over the world! By that time, I am afraid that the crews who come here to shoot and film will not only be Korean film and television crews. For example, the Hengyang Film and Television City of Hong Kong Kumho Film Group Company will host

Film crews from European and American countries have passed by! More importantly, this will bring a steady flow of tourists to Jeju Special Self-Governing Province. The "Lord of the Rings" trilogy has raised New Zealand's tourism industry to a new level. Since then,

The crew of Hong Kong Kumho Film Group is extremely popular in any country they go to for filming.

And since it is inseparable from Hong Kong Kumho Film Group Co., Ltd., domestic SM Entertainment Group Co., Ltd. and CJ Group Co., Ltd., one is a newcomer in the film and television industry. A few movies have established its position in the Korean film and television industry, and the other is a veteran.

The entertainment group company has various relationships with Hong Kong Kumho Film Group Company, so it would be inappropriate to refuse. Samsung Group and GS Group are also the top consortiums in South Korea, and they have received cooperation from Hong Kong Kumho Film Group Company.

Even the Korean Ministry of Culture, Tourism and Tourism could only hold its nose and admit it. As for the final Hanjin Group, not to mention, Jeju Special Self-Governing Province is an island!

Fang Mingyuan flipped through the plan in his hand casually. Although he had already learned the contents from other channels, the superficial work still had to be done. Otherwise, everyone's faces would not look good.

"Minister Park, what is this 24-hour entertainment center?" Fang Mingyuan pointed with his hand.

"This... this is a casino!" Pu Shiren said with some embarrassment, "Master Fang, our country's laws stipulate that it is legal to open a casino in Jeju Special Self-Governing Province, just like Macau in your country."

"Take this project out! Our Fang family and Hong Kong Kumho Film Group have never been involved in the casino industry." Fang Mingyuan said calmly, "In your country, we can't open this hole. It will harm our Fang family and Hong Kong."

Kumho Film Group’s reputation. Besides, your country’s Jeju Special Self-Governing Province seems to have no shortage of casinos, right?”

The Korean government has relatively strict management of the gambling industry. Underground black casinos definitely exist. However, on the surface, there are only 13 casinos in the country, of which 12 are exclusive casinos for foreigners. They are also located in Daegu, Incheon and Sokcho.

There is also one casino each in the process of approval. Among the twelve foreign-only casinos, seven are in Jeju Special Self-Governing Province, three are in Seoul, and two are in Busan. Foreigners can only go to Gangwon Land Casino.

Many industries in South Korea are currently in recession, but the gaming industry is obviously a "special case." The South Korean government strictly restricts the entry of locals into casinos, but it vigorously attracts foreigners. As far as Fang Mingyuan knows, Japan, the United States, Russia,

Even European countries are their valued tourist source areas. In recent years, due to the rapid economic development of China, Korean casinos will naturally not let go of this emerging tourist source area. That is why the Jeju Special Self-Government Province later came to be.

Chinese tourists are exempted from visas for thirty days, and some Korean casinos even send personnel to China to secretly solicit customers. They hope to use Chinese gamblers to create a "gaming industry myth" and surpass Singapore, a rising star in the Asian gaming industry, in one fell swoop.

And they also come up with a series of benefits, such as free air tickets, free meals, accommodation and travel. From the moment you get off the plane, there will be a dedicated person to receive you, accompany you throughout the journey, and ask the guests about their food and accommodation requirements. Some casinos even include this in the agreement.

*The price is clearly marked on the bare ground. The casino will provide services for "free" according to the amount of chips exchanged, such as professional massages, and even the services of Korean third-tier celebrities and supermodels. However, the Korean-only casino is located in a location with inconvenient transportation.

Gangwon Province is deep in the mountains, and admission fees are charged.

Pu Shiren was a little stunned. He did not expect that the casino license that Korean companies were eager to get would be rejected by Fang Mingyuan. After a long while, he said: "Young Master Fang, if there is no such thing as a 24-hour casino, then it will definitely be

Many tourists feel inconvenienced. Moreover, the Shilla Hotel owned by Samsung Group also has a casino.”

"The casino in the Shilla Hotel is owned by the Samsung Lee family and has nothing to do with our Fang family. The Shilla Hotel only provides a venue and charges a rental fee. It will not take a commission from the casino's revenue." Fang Mingyuan

He glanced at Pu Shiren coldly and said calmly, "Our country's laws clearly stipulate that organizing more than ten people to go abroad for gambling constitutes a crime. If the gambling capital or tapping profits reach a certain amount, the public security organs should file a case for suspected gambling crimes! Otherwise, let's do this

, since your government believes that the existence of this casino is necessary, we can provide the venue and let other companies open a casino exclusively for your people."

"Why is it a casino exclusively for Chinese people?" Pu Shiren said with joy and surprise at first.

"As far as I know, your exclusive casino is located in the mountains of Gangwon Province with inconvenient transportation. Although there is an entry fee, it is always packed with people, and you even have to queue up to play slot machines. According to your media reports, last year

More than 2.8 million people from your country have entered the casino to spend money. This project is located in Jeju Special Self-Governing Province. It is not only to attract foreign tourists, but tourists from your country should also be an important source. I have not heard of it.

Similar leisure resorts in the world can attract a large number of foreigners without being recognized by the local people. Moreover, although there are many casinos in Jeju Special Autonomous Province, there is no one

For people from your country, this would be considered discriminatory in European and American countries." Fang Mingyuan said leisurely, "This is also a great injustice to the people of your country. I went to Jeju Special Self-Governing Province for vacation, but I wanted to try my luck in the casino.

None of them are available.”

There was sweat on Pu Shiren's cheeks. He did not expect that Fang Mingyuan could relate this matter to discrimination. Naturally, the Korean government did not want its people to be addicted to gambling. How could they not know the side effects of this on society? But the Korean government did not

I hope to let go of this piece of fat, because if there is a sufficient customer base, the profit margin here is really astonishingly high. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a cost-free business, and compared with other industries, it not only saves precious

Resources can also stimulate tourism and related industries, provide more jobs, and find a lot of business for the numerous so-called third-tier celebrities and supermodels in South Korea.

But facing Fang Mingyuan, he could not say that our government just wants to vigorously attract Chinese people to come to casinos while severely restricting Chinese people from entering casinos. It is best for you, the rich Chinese people, to leave all their wealth in Jeju.

In the autonomous region, that is what we look forward to most.

"Master Fang, in our country, every casino license is very precious and will not be issued easily. Our Ministry of Culture and Tourism has only been approved after many struggles. Moreover, judging from our past experience,

This casino plays an extremely important role in making the resort profitable as soon as possible." Pu Shiren said with a sincere face, "We are also thinking about the interests of all shareholders."

"If that's the case, why not open it to the people of your country. The government serves its citizens. There are already more than a dozen casinos exclusively for foreigners in your country, but the only casino in the mountains of Gangwon Province that allows your people to enter

One, the ratio has been seriously out of balance. And there are seven foreign-only casinos in Jeju Special Self-Governing Province, so why should we compete with them for customers? This will make colleagues in the industry unhappy, and in this case, it will also make your country’s visit to Jeju special.

The guests who visited the autonomous province had a great time. Minister Park, do you think this is true?" Fang Mingyuan said with a half-smile. She became a woman who had lost her footing and had to build an archway. She wanted to profit from the gambling industry, but she also wanted to

Locking all the countrymen out of casinos is a good idea, right? They have done so many beggar-thy-neighbour things, so don’t they know how to write the word “honesty”?

Pu Shiren felt embarrassed and secretly wanted to scold her, but could not refute anything.

"Well, Minister Park, I think Mr. Fang is right. There are already seven casinos in Jeju Special Self-Governing Province for foreigners. One more casino will inevitably lead to further competition between them, and there will definitely be

It caused dissatisfaction from others. Moreover, domestic tourists account for the majority of tourists in Jeju Special Self-Governing Province, and we must also consider the holiday and entertainment needs of the Chinese people." Park Yeol, Governor of Jeju Special Self-Governing Province, who was sitting nearby

Can suddenly spoke, speaking in not so pure Chinese, "I think as Mr. Fang said, it is indeed necessary to open a casino for Chinese people in Jeju Special Self-Governing Province."

Park Shiren was a little annoyed and secretly glared at Park Yeolchan, telling him to shut up and stop talking, but Park turned a blind eye to his little actions. As the governor of Jeju Special Self-Governing Province, Park Yeolchan naturally considered the case of Jeju Special Self-Governing Province.

The interests lie. After a long period of negotiations, seeing that the final agreement is about to be reached on this resort and entertainment area plan with the film and television city as the core, it is natural that we are unwilling to add extraneous matters. Hong Kong Kumho Film Group Company can be said to be the core of this plan.

The key is that it and its allies not only have to provide huge construction funds, but also have an important relationship with what kind of results this resort and entertainment area can achieve after it is completed, and whether it can cooperate with Hong Kong Kumho Film Group Company.

Moreover, as an island, Jeju Special Self-Governing Province is very important in both shipping and aviation industries, and the Bang family has strengths that cannot be ignored in these two aspects. Park Yeolchan naturally hopes that everyone can cooperate happily.

To lay a better foundation for future cooperation, he was unwilling to offend Fang Mingyuan on such a trivial matter. As for Park Shiren’s dissatisfaction, Park Yeolcan did not take it to heart. Jeju Special Autonomous Province enjoys a high degree of autonomy, except for diplomacy, national defense and

Except for judicial power, the central government transferred all other powers to the Jeju Special Self-Governing Province, expanding the autonomy of the Jeju Special Self-Governing Province. As the top leader of the Jeju Special Self-Governing Province, Park Shi-in is not only dissatisfied, but also full of anger.

It's really nothing to him.

With Park Yeolcan talking to him like this, Park Shiren naturally couldn't hold on any longer, but he was unwilling to agree just like that. He only said that this matter needed to be discussed by all parties before he could make a final decision.

Fang Mingyuan's face darkened.

"Minister Park, since that's the case, let's wait until you all discuss it before I continue reading." Fang Mingyuan casually closed the unread plan and handed it to Park Shirendao.

In the project, he only holds 8% of the shares, becoming the smallest shareholder together with the Jeju Special Self-Governing Province. Even Hanjin Group has more shares than them. He has no say in many matters.

It is enough to give him face. Fang Mingyuan believes that GS Group, CJ Group and Hanjin Group can really not give him face in a mere casino? In the final analysis, it is the Ministry of Culture, Tourism and Tourism that

How many times does this Park Shi-in really think he is a soft persimmon?

Park Shiren was startled, and then his face turned red. If he wanted to say anything else, Fang Mingyuan had already stood up and smiled at Park Liecan: "Governor Park, I heard that there are many beautiful scenery in Jeju Special Autonomous Province. I don't know, Governor Park."

Do you have time, let’s go and see Jeongbang Waterfall, the only coastal waterfall in Asia that flows directly into the sea?”

"Since Mr. Fang is interested, of course I want to accompany him." Pu Liecan also stood up and walked out with Fang Mingyuan. He looked back at Pu Shiren and said with a smile, "It's a pity that it's winter now, and it's still hot there.

The scenery is the most spectacular in summer, and it’s also a great place to escape the heat and recuperate.”

"It doesn't matter, summer has the splendor of summer, and winter must also have the beauty of winter. Beautiful scenery is like beauty, and it's always appropriate to wear heavy makeup and light makeup." Fang Mingyuan said with a smile, "Just to see if we can discover its beauty!"

"What Mr. Fang said is true, but it was my shallowness that made Mr. Fang laugh..." Pu Liecan said.

As the voices of Pu Liecan and Fang Mingyuan faded away, Pu Shiren, who was left in the reception room, grabbed the plan in his hand with such force that even the veins on his hand were clearly visible. He did not expect that Fang Mingyuan turned out to be

The negotiation was interrupted at the first sign of disagreement. It was completely different from the bosses of the Huaxia Company that he had contacted in the past. They did not give him face as the dignified deputy minister of the Ministry of Culture and Tourism! In order to please Fang Mingyuan, Park Liecan even went as far as the government.

Dare to break the ban on foreigners entering casinos!

It's just that while he was angry, he couldn't help but feel guilty. It goes without saying that the South Korean government and the Jeju Special Self-Governing Province attach great importance to this project. Everyone hopes to sign an agreement as soon as possible to carry out subsequent affairs. Jeju Special Self-Government

The autonomous government is looking forward to the implementation of this project! (To be continued.)
