Goryeo has always been a magical country. Perhaps because its geographical location is too awkward, it has been dependent on big powers for survival since ancient times.
In the previous hundreds of years of history, it was almost always a vassal state of flower growers. It was not until modern times that because Eagle Sauce gained global hegemony, it broke away from the control of flower growers and fell into the arms of Eagle Sauce.
However, due to various historical issues, in the new century, although its economy has become more and more developed and it has entered the ranks of developed countries early, like the island countries, it has never had complete sovereignty.
So far, those who control the entire country are the chaebols, or the hawks behind the chaebols.
Coupled with the garrison in Yingjiang, there is no problem in saying that it is an alternative colony in the new era.
The island country that is also a "colony" of Eagle Jam suffered this disaster not long ago, which has to make Goryeo's chaebols feel sad and fear that they will also suffer this disaster.
In particular, Su Yang publicly stated on domestic Weibo that this action was regarded as revenge for the country. Although Goryeo's chaebols believed that this was just a "high-sounding excuse" and just a self-whitewashing by the winner, in modern times Goryeo and flower growers
There were a lot of nasty things done to them, and they were also afraid that Su Yang would replicate what he had done in Goryeo. That's why they took this trip to the island country.
When they came to the island country, what the consortium representatives saw was a devastated place. The once prosperous metropolis had now become extremely depressed. The streets that used to be crowded with people now only had sparse flows of people.
Although the social animals in the island country originally worked hard, at least they had light in their eyes, but now they all look emaciated.
The original plan of the visiting group was to visit the president of Honda, who was familiar with them, to understand the situation. As a result, along the way, they found that they had almost gained a certain understanding of the entire Japanese style.
They couldn't help but think of the intelligence they had received before: Su Yang's bloodbath on the island country had dealt an all-round blow to the island country's economy, industry, import and export, exchange rate, and stock market.
In particular, the three key industries of information, finance, and automobiles have almost all been set back ten years.
Even for big companies such as Toyota and Honda, although they still did not suffer much losses, they still had strong assets and strong strength. However, because they were tricked by Su Yang and did not get new energy batteries, their strength was greatly reduced.
Many experts and chaebols from other countries have analyzed that once Su Yang's new energy vehicles are really introduced to the world, the decline of these large groups will be very fast.
Therefore, even though the valuations of these companies were very low due to the impact of the economic crisis, no company or bank came to the rescue or took over.
Companies are run with debt, and the collateral is usually stocks. As a result of the downturn in stock prices, there is insufficient collateral, and the company needs to pledge more stocks or add other collateral.
This is actually a very dangerous behavior for the company.
These large companies are already in the best shape during this economic crisis. After Su Yang's bloodbath on the island country, international capital, like sharks smelling fishy smell, all concentrated on the island country and launched a new round of attacks on the island country.
The direct result of destruction is that a new round of economic crisis breaks out in the island country.
All the money in the hands of ordinary people was plundered, factories went bankrupt, and many wealthy people and consortiums suffered heavy losses and had to go to the rooftops.
In fact, the purpose of this visit to Korea is not only to learn from the experience of the island countries, but also to attract these companies.
They are not kind-hearted and want to help their neighbor. You must know that the two parties are feuding. Moreover, they are the same "father". It is too late to compete for favor, so how can they support each other.
They mainly think that the value of these companies is still very high. At a time when the entire island country is in ruins, if they lend a helping hand, not only can they get some partners, but they can also get a lot of benefits at low prices.
With the purpose of the group, the vehicle continued to drive, and soon the group arrived at the courtyard of President Toyota's house.
Because it was approaching early autumn, the courtyard was covered with fallen leaves and looked a little depressed.
Knocking on the door, a group of people came to the courtyard under the leadership of the servant. The president of Toyota was having a heated argument with someone. Judging from the distant voice, it seemed that the matter was with some hot money from Southeast Asia.
related.
Seeing everyone arriving, Toyota's president stopped talking and waved to the man to go down first. Then he came up to him with a smile and took the initiative to say hello, "Master Li is here."
The surname Lee is very common in Korea, but at this level, there is obviously only one family that can be welcomed by the president of Toyota: Samsung Lee family.
As a well-known chaebol throughout the world, the Samsung Lee family is considered one of the legendary and most well-known chaebols.
The chairman is the richest man, and his son is the third richest man. From screws and plastic particles to skyscrapers, military industry, hospitals, securities, clothing, you can’t think of anything that Samsung can’t do. There are so many business divisions that employees can’t even count them.
The car was stopped halfway because the country was concerned that it was too big.
A company accounts for more than 20% of the GDP. The president of a company will bow his head and salute when the president of the country sees him.
This is Samsung!
There is only one such consortium in the world, and it has such power in its own country.
Therefore, the Korean people always use the words "one enterprise supports a country" and "Samsung takes care of everything about Korean people's life, old age, illness and death, except for the sun and air" to describe Samsung.
And today, the only son of the Li family, Mr. Li Zairong, came here.
After greeting Li Zaiyong warmly, Toyota's president invited them to sit down in the courtyard and asked his servants to make tea.
Sitting on the futon, Li Zairong looked around the courtyard. Although the inside of the courtyard was cleaner than the outside, in general, there were still a lot of fallen leaves left, and it looked a bit dilapidated.
He looked back and said, "Toyoda-kun, you haven't been doing very well lately. I don't think you even cleaned the yard."
President Toyoda is the fourth-generation eldest grandson of the Toyota family, named Akira Toyoda. He and Lee Jae-yong are about ten years apart in age, but they are of the same generation.
He glanced at the courtyard, with an embarrassed look on his face, and argued, "It's autumn. Everything should be like this. So we follow nature and enjoy autumn in autumn."
Li Zaiyong smiled and said politely, "We at Samsung are different. We can turn every season into spring."
The courtyard was a little quiet for a while.
President Toyota opened his mouth, but in the end he did not refute, but changed the subject, "What does Mr. Li mainly want to do when he comes here this time?"
Li Zaiyong picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea. His handsome face was full of determination and enterprising ambition, "We came here this time to see that the Yamato nation has encountered a disaster, so we want to lend a helping hand."
"We at Samsung hope to cooperate with some high-quality companies and create brilliance together."
Hearing what Lee Jae-yong said, the Toyota president was not surprised. Apparently he had guessed it.
His fingers tapped lightly on the table. After a while, the tapping stopped and he asked, "What companies is Mr. Li interested in now?"
Li Zaeyong said, "We are interested in leading companies in various industries such as electronics, technology, and finance. We are even interested in some valuable brands, such as Youyiku."
Hearing Li Zaiyong mention Youyiku, President Toyota's eyes moved slightly, and then said with a smile, "If Mr. Li is interested in Youyiku, then it is best to come forward and talk now, otherwise he may not be able to catch up."
Li Zaiyong said "Oh?" "Is it because someone else is looking to cooperate with Mr. Yanagawa?"
Hearing Yanagawa Yanagi's name, President Toyota took a sip of water, and then said with a half-smile, "That's not true. It's no longer up to Yanagawa-kun to have a clothes store now. It doesn't even matter whether he can survive it or not.
Not necessarily..."
...
At the same time, the island country, Dongdu.
As one of the most prosperous metropolises in the world, there is no doubt that Dongdu is prosperous.
Even in a tiny island country, there are dozens of towering buildings.
The most famous among these tall buildings is probably the Zhongcheng Tower.
The Chungseong Tower was jointly built by top designers and architects from the island country. It cost nearly 400 billion yen and took 5 years to complete.
The entire building complex covers an area of 6.9 hectares and consists of 5 buildings. It has hundreds of high-quality shops, restaurants, luxury hotels, various exhibition halls, hospitals and parks, etc., like a small commercial city.
At this time, in this building, Yanagawa Yanagi was taking the elevator to the top of the tallest building of Zhongcheng Tower.
Arriving at the top floor, following the impression of coming here before, Yanagawa Hiko walked around seven times until he reached the rooftop.
The difference from the past is that the previous rooftop was open to tours, but now there is a sick old man guarding the door.
The old man had a standard island-country appearance. He was not tall, a little over 1.6 meters tall. He was wrinkled and looked to be in his seventies.
When he saw Yanagawa Yan coming over, he glanced up and stretched out his withered hand, "500 yen."
Yanagawa Yan paused, stunned for a moment, and opened his mouth to say something.
The old man waved his hands and said impatiently, "If I call the police, it will cost money to clean the ground. Isn't this a lot of money?"
Yanagawa Yan thought for a while and felt that what the old man said made sense, so he took it out of his pocket.
As the richest man in the island country, he usually does not carry cash, but now that it has declined, his secretaries and assistants have all been fired, and he relies on himself for everything, so he still brings some change when he goes out.
He carefully dug through several pockets, took out five 100 yen coins, and handed them to the old man.
The old man took the coins, waved his hand, indicating that he could pass, and then continued to sit there listlessly.
Yanagawayan glanced at the old man again, then sighed, opened the door, and walked onto the rooftop.
When he arrived at the rooftop, Yanagawa Yanagi found that there were already several people here, all with sad faces. They were either staring into the distance in a daze, muttering to themselves, or bursting into tears. It was obvious that they were not in a good mood.
Seeing Yanagawa Yan's arrival, the few people looked over, but soon looked away and continued to be immersed in their own world.
Yanagawa Yan looked around the rooftop, trying to find a place of his own.
Before he could find it after he took it, he heard a loud shout of "Ah!" and a man stepped out and jumped directly from the rooftop.
The Zhongcheng Tower is 268 meters high. If you jump from it, there is no hope of survival. Obviously, this person is not here to play extreme sports, but to commit suicide.
In other words, most of the people who walked onto this rooftop came to seek death...
Hearing this man's shouting, the people who were lying on the side seemed to be activated. They ran to the place where the man jumped and looked down.
From a distance, I heard the loud "ah" sound turn into a scream.
Then there was a muffled sound below, and a moment later, the crowd screamed again!
The people on the rooftop witnessed this scene all the time, and they were all dumbfounded, as if they had seen their own future...
These people on the rooftop are all bosses or radicals who went bankrupt during the economic crisis in the island country.
Ordinary people used their savings to speculate in the stock market and encountered an economic crisis. At most, they lost all their savings. However, these bosses and radical investors used high leverage, causing the stock and foreign exchange markets to collapse. Not only did they lose everything, but they even owed huge debts.
If they don't die, their families will be affected.
If he died, at least his family would be safe.
Therefore, they have no choice but to use their own death to make a final contribution to their family.
However, people are greedy for life and afraid of death. Even though they may have done some mental construction for several days, they are still hesitant when they really want to die.
But now seeing the tragic situation of this man jumping, the people who were hesitant at first could not help but beat their hearts.
Among them, the most indifferent person may be Yanagawa Yanagi.
As the richest man in the island country, he had predicted the possibility of an economic crisis early on, so he had made preparations in advance. However, he never expected that Su Yang would trick him before leaving and put him in the hot seat.
It is implied that he is Su Yang's "accomplice".
In this economic crisis, the island country needs a scapegoat. Who is a more suitable scapegoat than Yanagawa Yanagi, the richest man in the island country and Su Yang's "associate"?
Therefore, even though the country's plutocrats, bosses, and wealthy people all knew that Yanagawa Yanahiko was wrongfully accused, he was still pushed out and was surrounded and suppressed.
After all, if one richest man falls, the crisis of many people can be lifted.
Soon, all the companies under Yanagawa Yanagi were dismembered and divided. He tried his best to maintain it, but it was almost to no avail. After a few months, in the end, the entire Xinhua Group was reduced to an empty frame.
Fortunately, he transferred hundreds of millions of dollars before the economic crisis, which can be used as the last resource for his family's comeback. But this is the last thing he can leave.
In order not to worry about this last piece of property, and in order not to involve his family members anymore, he finally had no choice but to walk up to the rooftop...
Thinking of this, he glanced at the great rivers and mountains in the distance, and then walked to the eaves of the rooftop.
The other people on the rooftop were still shocked by the man who had just jumped off the building. A few timid ones had already retreated and were sneaking out of the rooftop.
Distantly, Yanagawayan could hear the old man who had just come in and paid the fee to "admonish" those cowards.
"Let me tell you guys. If you don't jump, your money will not be refunded."
"but..."
"I can give you a note. If you want to dance another day, you don't have to pay..."
