Chapter 1417 : Dead Fish and Broken Net?

South Korea, a golf course near the mountain manor under the name of Simon in the southeast suburb of Seoul.

Arrived in the morning and made an appointment to play here in the afternoon.

Quan Sumin, who put on a tight-fitting sports suit, stood on the edge of the court, looking at a group of chaebol leaders who were more or less respectful around a certain man, and felt strange in her heart.

That feeling of power that she was inexplicably looking forward to.

Through this period of understanding, Jin Sumin can roughly judge that it is not an exaggeration to say that this country is in the hands of the young foreign man in the stadium.

And, of course, this power doesn't come for free.

The collapse of the Daewoo Group, which ranks second in South Korea, clearly has the shadow of the Westeros system behind it. Some time ago, the LG Group, which was dismantled because it was too late to surrender, is another brand new example.

In addition to the two major chaebols, the rapid control of the South Korean entertainment industry by the Westeros system is even more visible to the naked eye. In the past few months, those seemingly good-looking movies and online games that have shined in overseas markets have basically been eaten away by the Westeros system in advance.

At the government level, the Blue House is almost obedient to the imf team under the control of the Westeros system. They can't help but follow orders. The imf team completely controls the future direction of the entire Korean economy, not just Qiinch.

Not to mention the major chaebols in South Korea who have fully invested in the Westeros system represented by the big bosses on the field.

After a little calculation, Kim Su-min roughly came up with a statistic in his mind. Those chaebol leaders who surrounded a certain man on the court can be said to control more than 70% of South Korea's gdp, which is actually equivalent to the control of the Westeros system. Accounted for more than 70% of South Korea's gdp.

One thing is certain, this ratio will only increase in the future.

rise rapidly.

Just thinking wildly, Lin Guili, who was told by Chen Qing to be in charge of her boss's daily trip to Seoul, took two waitresses to the field with some mineral water, and she didn't mean to greet Jin Sumin at all. Jin Sumin frowned slightly, and then directly followed up. After catching up with Lin Guili and the others, Jin Sumin stretched out his hand slightly to take the mineral water from the two maids beside Lin Guili and put it in his arms.

Seeing this, Lin Guili only frowned slightly, and continued walking.

When a group of men approached, the two women had already changed into gentle and smiling expressions, gave everyone the mineral water, and then took the initiative to back away a little, standing on the left and right behind their boss.

I couldn't help being envious of Jiang Shanwu who was able to stand beside the man and act as an interpreter.

And, obviously, someone still doesn't trust them that much, otherwise, both of them have the ability to act as translators, and there is no reason for their boss to bring a Chinese girl.

However, I can only think about it.

This man is definitely not within their control.

Seeing the two women standing behind him, Simon didn't leave, nor chased them away. He watched Cui Tae-won, head of the SK family, hit a ball, but he was talking to Chung Mong-koo and Lee Kun-hee, the spokespersons of Hyundai and Samsung: "The auto industry in South Korea is only It’s so big, and the market won’t increase even if you fight to the death. This time, I will personally mediate, so don’t fight any more. I hope you will reach an agreement within one month for all the lawsuits during this period, and then put your mind on Overseas, okay?"

Simon uses English, and Jiang Shanwu, who also graduated from the University of Foreign Languages ​​and learned Korean with Chen Qingyi, performed instant translation fluently.

The two girls standing behind their boss did not expect that several people were talking about this topic.

Not surprisingly.

As Korean auto giants such as Daewoo and Kia collapsed in the course of the economic crisis, the Korean auto industry has also entered a stage of reshuffle.

Hyundai is undoubtedly the well-deserved boss, especially this year also annexed Daewoo's car business.

Samsung is the standard outsider.

Li Jianxi's obsession with cars can be felt by many ordinary people from various news reports. Therefore, Samsung's entry into the automobile industry is also aggressive.

So, the problem now is that one wants to completely dominate the rivers and lakes and become a unique oligarch, and the other wants to build a brand new family foundation after losing control of the electronics industry, even at any cost.

The two sides have been able to talk about all kinds of come and go for more than half a year.

Just a few days ago, in Busan, there was even a nasty incident where the marketing teams of Hyundai and Samsung fought together, so it is conceivable that you will come and go in other aspects.

When both parties have their own firm goals, even the Blue House cannot persuade them.

Now, it seems that only Simon can dissuade.

Jin Sumin heard the obvious reprimand in her boss's tone, and couldn't help but raise a little bit in her heart. Even the heads of Hyundai and Samsung, even Mr. President, would not dare to speak to them in such a tone. Both of them are used to being superior in Korea, will they give in?

In this worry, Jin Sumin quickly got the result.

After a little hesitation, Zheng Mengjiu and Li Jianxi nodded their heads.

Simon didn't give up, and proposed that the two shake hands and make peace, and the two big chaebols still complied. This scene made Jin Sumin almost couldn't help opening his mouth.

In fact, this is still a huge gap in power.

The richer people are, the more they can feel the huge potential contained in wealth. Similarly, extending to other levels, such as officialdom, the more you are in the game, the more you can understand that the higher level of officials crushes people to death. In comparison, ordinary people often feel that those super rich, or high-ranking officials and dignitaries, may

No big deal.

After all, Jin Sumin has just stepped into this circle, so it is difficult to understand what the Westeros system means in South Korea.

However, even though they are superior in South Korea, in the past year, I have seen with my own eyes that Jin Yuzhong, who was once at the same level as them or even higher, was under the strong blow of the Westeros system. Imprisoned, and then the LG Group was dismantled, and even the IMF team, which was obviously controlled by the Westeros system, completely killed the major Korean corporate giants. Under such circumstances, how could Zheng Mengjiu, Li Kunxi and others not be afraid Never give up?

Or suppose, I just don't give in, give Simon Westeros a bullshit on the spot, and then walk away.

Very cool.

The problem is, it may not be until tomorrow morning that their companies will encounter a series of troubles such as the presence of bank inspection teams and debt collection by banks.

Speaking of Kim Woo-jung, after all, he was once the head of the second largest chaebol in South Korea, and there are three thousand nails in a broken ship. What's more, the huge Daewoo Group also involves all aspects of the Korean economy, and even involves many people. Without the participation of the Westeros system, even if a series of economic crimes are proven, it is unlikely that Kim Woo-joong will go to prison.

Most probation.

The current situation is that the Westeros system is clearly shaking mountains and shaking tigers. In the first round of trials in September, Jin Yuzhong was directly sentenced to 25 years because of a series of serious economic problems. At present, Jin Yuzhong's lawyer team is appealing, but even if the final sentence is shortened, Jin Yuzhong will spend ten years in prison at least.

Jin Yuzhong himself obviously understood where the problem was. Over the past six months, he repeatedly begged Simon Westeros for mercy through various channels, hoping to let him go, but he was never heeded.

While the rabbit died and the fox was sad, the big chaebols in South Korea also fully recognized the reality.

The reality is that in just one year, South Korea has basically become an economic colony of the Westeros system, and they are powerless to resist. Whoever resists will end up in ashes like Daewoo.

Fortunately, Simon Westeros did not kill them all, and still retained the wealth and status of their plutocratic families to a considerable extent.

Otherwise... Otherwise, it seems that there is really nothing to do.

Fish dead and net broken?

It is expected that South Korea's total gdp this year will drop sharply to about 380 billion yuan, a cumulative drop of nearly 40% compared to the peak of 610 billion yuan in 1996. And the Westeros system is just Simon Westeros' personal wealth, which is several times the size of South Korea's economy, not to mention the entire Westeros system controlled by Simon Westeros, and even, the same standing The American government behind the Westeros system.

Under the huge disparity in strength, all the fish in a group will die, and the net will not be broken.

That being the case, the current result is already the best.

on the pitch.

Simon waited for Zheng Mengjiu and Li Jianxi to shake hands, and nodded with satisfaction.

Everyone walked to the next hitting point, and Simon continued: "South Korea's own land and population are here. Even if you develop it completely, it is difficult to make it too big. Therefore, I want you to focus on Overseas, just like Japan, Japan’s population is only twice that of South Korea, but its economic volume can reach ten times that of South Korea, why, the key lies in Japan’s export-oriented economic model, and it is fully exploring overseas.”

After Simon finished speaking, everyone who listened carefully or pretended to listen carefully nodded, and the head of the lg furniture family, who was proud to come over after taking the initiative to contact him in advance, said directly in English: "Simon, the US's suppression strategy against Japan, Shouldn't it have changed?"

"Of course," Simon nodded, and said, "The Japanese economy is too big. Washington will definitely not allow Japan to go further, and even compress Japan. Oh, I understand why you ask that, and this happens to be South Korea's Opportunity, since we are now partners and have related interests, I am also very happy to see everyone replace Japan in some industries."

This is obviously a very thoughtful question, and the answer made everyone present quite excited.

Chung Mong-koo of Hyundai quickly asked: "Simon, do you think Korean cars can replace Japanese cars in the global market?"

"I can only say that Washington will definitely further restrict Japan's auto industry. As for whether Korean cars can replace Japanese cars, it depends on your own efforts," Simon said, "However, since Korean semiconductors can replace Japanese semiconductors, we It is also quite optimistic about the prospect of Korean cars replacing Japanese cars."

Hearing Simon mention semiconductors, everyone's expressions were inevitably strange.

They are all veterans who have been in the business world for many years. Since Simon Westero took advantage of the economic crisis in the past year to almost control the entire semiconductor industry in South Korea, it can be seen that this young wealth tycoon attaches great importance to the semiconductor field.

In comparison, Simon Westeros is obviously not that keen on cars.

Zheng Mengjiu is even thinking about whether to take the initiative to invite the Westeros system to take a stake in the modern core automobile company. However, people always instinctively strongly reject the initiative to give up some of their own interests. Zheng Mengjiu can't make such a decision for a while, and even comforts himself. Maybe even if he wants to, the Westeros system may not be interested. Then It's embarrassing.

Everyone came to a new hitting point, and Li Jianxi, who had not spoken much, finally said, "Simon, are you optimistic about China?"

"I've demonstrated this with enough action over the past few years," Simon

Shrugging his shoulders, posing for a shot, he continued, "Also, Li, you obviously have a good view of China. I still remember that Samsung launched a five-year plan to invest 10 billion US dollars in China two years ago."

Li Jianxi shook his head regretfully: "It's a pity that things have changed."

Simon just smiled, of course he knew that because of the economic crisis last year, Samsung actually only invested less than US$2 billion in China. It was also after winning Kia this year and receiving the support of the Westeros system that Samsung began to invest in China again. The biggest project is the Samsung Motors joint venture in Suzhou.

Thinking of this, Simon continued: "China has 9.6 million square kilometers of land and a population of 1.2 billion, which are dozens of times that of South Korea. At the same time, compared with the West, which has formed a stable capital structure, China is still in the stage of development. Moreover, the various leading industries owned by South Korea are exactly what China urgently needs in the development stage. Therefore, for South Korea that wants to recover, China is your best opportunity.”

Cui Tae-won from sk couldn't help but shake his head when he heard what Simon said: "The problem is, Simon, the stability of China's economic policy is really worrying. We are afraid of investing in it. After a few years, we will suddenly lose everything?"

"Investment is always risky," Simon said, but he didn't give any guarantees to everyone, "According to the Chinese saying, you can't stop eating because you're afraid of being choked."

The idiom of giving up food because of choking is no stranger to South Korea, which is also in the Chinese cultural circle.

Everyone was silent and thinking again.

In fact, Simon undoubtedly gave the most correct path. The problem is that, at least in the past, South Korea did not take this path well, but still focused on the West.

The most direct evidence, such as South Korean cars, and Samsung mobile phones.

Compared with Japanese cars, Korean cars have little presence in the Chinese market later, which has to be said to be a serious mistake of Korean companies.

As for Samsung mobile phones, the brand that has long ranked first in global shipments in the era of smartphones has been reduced to almost dispensable in the Chinese market, which is obviously a failure. Don't talk about spare parts such as screens and memory. The profit of spare parts is high. However, once they are replaced, they will be replaced, and they will die without knowing how. Many Western brands have been replaced one by one among the high-profit spare parts, and eventually declined one by one.
