At the luxurious mahogany dining table, Chu Huan, Quan Douhuan, Quan Zaiguo and others sat together. It was not a South Korean meal, but a Western-style dinner.
"Director Chu, I'm very sorry. You also know that the suppression of the Gwangju incident has just been completed during this period. There are many things at the Blue House that I need to deal with, so I have to wait for Director Chu slowly. Director Chu won't be unhappy because of this, right?"
Quan Douhuan held his own glass of red wine and talked to Chu Huan with a smile.
Chu Huan said with a smile, "How could it be possible? Commander Quan is a big shot in charge of a country's affairs. He should be busy with official duties. Besides, as partners, if I can't even understand this, then what kind of partners are we?"
"Haha!" Quan Douhuan laughed loudly and said, "Dr. Chu is indeed a big business man. He sees things clearly."
Both sides clink glasses!
Afterwards, Quan Douhuan continued, "I personally had some doubts about what Chairman Chu said in Hong Kong before, but now I see that if public opinion is in the hands of unnecessary people, it will indeed bring us some problems."
Troubled, my colleagues at the Blue House and I have worked hard for the development of South Korea, but as a result, some people have interfered with the policies issued by our Blue House because of some false reports, which is really heartbreaking!"
When Chu Huan and Quan Douhuan met for the first time, Chu Huan told Quan Douhuan about the media. When Quan Douhuan said this, he obviously paid attention to the importance of the media to him.
Chu Huan said with a smile, "The media industry is the throat of a country's external propaganda. If it cannot be controlled in its own hands, it will always cause some trouble to people like Commander Quan who want to do things seriously for South Korea."
, especially some information that cannot be announced to the outside world, is easily influenced by the media industry, so if this matter cannot be handled properly, it will definitely cause more trouble to Commander Quan in the future."
Quan Douhuan nodded and said, "Director Chu is well-informed and has a lot of business in Europe and North America. I believe he must know more about this. I wonder if Director Chu has any good suggestions?"
"
Chu Huandao said, "It's very simple. The media must be in your own hands. Only in this way can the people truly understand the decisions of Commander Quan and others. Even those that are difficult to disclose to the outside world can make the people more aware through the guidance of public opinion."
Understand the thoughts of Commander Quan and others!”
"That's right!" Quan Douhuan immediately said with a smile, "I think so too, but I'm not afraid of making you laugh, Mr. Chu. Although I have taken control of the situation in South Korea now, I have only stabilized the current situation. In fact,
There is still a lot of resistance secretly.
Let’s just talk about the JoongAng Ilbo. Relying on their relationship with the former president, the Lee family and his son actually spoke for those in the opposition party during the Gwangju incident. It’s really abominable. What’s more, these people also control grassroots forces. I used to
I once thought about whether I could start a newspaper to speak out for the government, but through investigation I found out that the sales channels for newspapers in South Korea are basically controlled by those people, so it’s really hard to start!"
Although what Chu Huan wants now is South Korea's largest newspaper "Bukhan Ilbo", in fact, Chun Douhuan did not take action against "Bukhan Ilbo" after he came to power. Instead, he took over Samsung's "Joongang Ilbo".
They almost used violent means to forcibly dismantle the "Central Daily News" and merged it into b.
Chu Huan laughed after hearing this and said, "Actually, I also encountered this problem when I was in Xiangjiang. At that time, I founded a newspaper called "True News", but at that time I had some conflicts with my colleagues in the Xiangjiang newspaper industry.
, they united with the Hong Kong Distribution Association to ban the distribution of my "True News"!"
Quan Douhuan knew that "Zhen Bao" is the newspaper with the largest sales volume in Xiangjiang today. When he heard Chu Huan say this, he knew that Chu Huan must have solved this problem at that time, so he asked Chu Huan.
"I wonder what method Director Chu used to solve this problem?"
Chu Huan said with a smile, "It's actually very simple. At that time, I had already founded Yunhai Group in advance. With the help of Yunhai Group's strong sales network, even without the help of the distribution association, our "True News" could still buy every person in Xiangjiang.
in hand.
When the people from the distribution association found that their ban was ineffective and caused them to lose a certain amount of income, they naturally compromised.
To put it bluntly, everyone has their own interests and demands. If the other party cannot satisfy those people's interests, then they will naturally turn against you!"
"Haha!" Quan Douhuan laughed again and said, "It is indeed a good idea, but South Korea is different from Xiangjiang. In Xiangjiang, Chairman Chu has the help of Yunhai Group, but in South Korea there is no Yunhai Group!"
When he said the last words, Quan Douhuan sounded a little helpless.
To be honest, Quan Douhuan is still very envious of Chu Huan's influence in Xiangjiang at this time. Just by virtue of his identity as a businessman, he can become the number one person in Xiangjiang, but he wants to be the number one person in South Korea, but
It was only through a bloody storm that it barely succeeded.
Chu Huan said with a smile, "Then it depends on your decision-making ability, Commander Quan. If you think about it, I can guarantee that within a year, there will be Yunhai chain stores all over South Korea. By then, the sales of newspapers will naturally be
There will be nothing to worry about!”
Quan Douhuan took a deep look at Chu Huan and said with a smile, "Opening Unhai convenience stores throughout South Korea within one year is not a small investment, right?"
Chu Huan said with a smile, "The business situation in South Korea has basically been fixed now, but these consortiums in South Korea all grew up with the support of Presidents Rhee Syngman and Park Chung-hee. In addition, these consortiums also have North American capital backgrounds."
Existence, Commander Quan, how much respect do you think these people will give you after you sit on the throne of the president?
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! In my opinion, the only way to break this deadlock is to inject new blood and let these people understand that South Korea's economy cannot continue to develop only through them, Commander Quan
You also have the ability to let new consortiums replace them. Only in such an environment, those people will fully realize your deterrent power, Commander-in-Chief, and they will naturally take the initiative to move closer to you!"
Although Quan Douhuan knew that Chu Huan's remarks were intended to increase the scale of his investment in South Korea, Quan Douhuan had to admit that what Chu Huan said was correct.
Nowadays, these consortiums in South Korea rely on themselves to control the economic lifeline of South Korea. Even when facing themselves, they don't show that much respect. This kind of backhanded attitude makes Quan Douhuan very unhappy.
satisfy.
And as Chu Huan said, if new strength enters South Korea, it will definitely change the current economic environment of South Korea. The most important thing is that he has shares in Sun Investment. By then, Sun Investment’s business in South Korea will be bigger.
The more benefits you can get from your side.
No matter how you look at it, it is a matter of killing two birds with one stone.
But Yunhai Group is Chu Huan’s own company, so it has nothing to do with Sun Investment now?
"Commander Quan, if you can allow Yunhai Group to enter South Korea, then the South Korean branch of Yunhai Group will be jointly invested and established by Xiangjiang Yunhai Group and South Korea Sun Investment. We also hope to make some contributions to the economic development of South Korea.
Come!"
Chu Huan guessed what Quan Douhuan was thinking, so he smiled and preached.
Only the combination of interests can make the relationship between the two parties stronger!
Sure enough, after Chu Huan made this suggestion, Quan Douhuan's eyes immediately flashed with light.
"But Mr. Chu, the manufacturing of goods in South Korea is basically in the hands of those consortiums. Even if the Yunhai Group is successfully established in South Korea, wouldn't it be even more dangerous if there are no products on the shelves?"
Quan Douhuan asked Chu Huan.
Chu Huan didn't care about this and said with a smile, "It's simple. These consortiums in South Korea are not monolithic. They also compete with each other. We only need to recruit some people to come in and cooperate with us, and then suppress the other people."
It’s natural.”
Quan Douhuan couldn't help but nod, pulling and stepping on each other. This is the most common trick in political alliances. Now he didn't expect that Chu Huan would use it in business.
Chu Huan continued, "At the same time, the products in the Yunhai chain are not only Korean products, but also imported products. We can make up for each other!"
At this time, Quan Zaiguo couldn't help but ask, "Director Chu, establishing Yunhai Chain in South Korea within one year is a huge investment?"
Chu Huan smiled at this and said, "Young Master Quan, don't worry about this. The Yunhai Group has already prepared the funds. All we need is Commander Quan's nod!"
Quan Douhuan sat there and did not answer Chu Huan's question immediately. Although Chu Huan's suggestion made him a little excited, Quan Douhuan also understood that if this was really the case, then according to Chu Huan's strength and his own
With help, Yunhai Chain is likely to achieve the same status as in Xiangjiang in the end, forming a monopoly on South Korea's retail industry.
Letting a consortium outside South Korea monopolize South Korea's retail industry in South Korea is a very bold idea, and Quan Doohuan cannot be allowed to seriously consider the pros and cons of this!
Chu Huan did not rush Quan Douhuan. He understood Quan Douhuan's thoughts, but Chu Huan was not worried about Quan Douhuan's final decision.
It is true that Chu Huan does think that he can complete the monopoly of the retail industry in South Korea at some time in the future, but even though Quan Douhuan understands this, there is still a high probability that he will eventually cooperate with him.
of.
Just like the previous cooperation between Chu Huan and Quan Dou-hwan, it is true that Quan Dou-hwan will become the president of South Korea, but one by one of these presidents in South Korea, none of them can dedicate themselves wholeheartedly to this country.
Even though Kim Young-sam, a scholar, launched a vigorous investigation into the corruption of South Korea when he was in power and made his net worth public, in the end, his son was still involved in the corruption.
What's more, these conglomerates in South Korea really don't have that much support for Chun Dou-hwan. Chun Doo-hwan himself knows this, otherwise he would not immediately take action against these conglomerates in South Korea after he officially came to power.
On the other hand, although I am not a South Korean, my investment in South Korea seems to be the most supportive of Chun Doo-hwan at this stage.
At Quan Douhuan's level, it is no longer useful to talk to him about patriotism. What everyone values more is their own interests.
Sure enough, after a brief consideration, Quan Douhuan agreed to Chu Huan's suggestion, "We in South Korea have always welcomed and supported foreign investment in South Korea. If Chairman Chu's Yunhai Group can enter South Korea's retail market,
Not only can it bring a lot of tax revenue to our country, but it can also help us solve many employment problems. This is a very good thing!"
Chu Huan nodded and said, "We also hope to make some contributions to South Korea's economic development under the leadership of Commander Quan!"
Allowing Yunhai Group to enter the South Korean market is just a preparation for both of them to better control South Korea's media industry.
So after talking about this matter, both of them once again brought the topic to the media industry.
Chu Huan continued, "Commander Quan, with all due respect, if you are planning to build a new newspaper, it will be difficult to build it into an influential newspaper in a short period of time. In my opinion, a better way is to acquire South Korea."
One or two newspapers, only in this way can we speak out for Commander-in-Chief's governing policy in the shortest possible time!"
At this point, Chu Huan paused for a moment, and then added, "Of course, in order to appease the psychology of the South Korean people, the purchase of South Korean newspapers will not be taken care of by Jiaku, but by Sun Investment, which is based in South Korea.
I believe that the South Korean people will be more accepting of such things!"
Quan Douhuan said noncommittally, "Since Director Chu said this, it means that Director Chu must already have a suitable choice in his mind?"
Chu Huan smiled and said, "Didn't Commander Quan say it before? The Central Daily News did not do a good job of speaking out for Commander Quan in this Gwangju incident. If we can take over the Central Daily News, there will be fewer people on the market."
There is a newspaper that criticizes the current policies of the Commander-in-Chief, and there is a newspaper that supports the policies of the Commander-in-Chief. This is a matter of 1 + 1 being greater than 2!
In addition, I have also investigated and found that the best-selling newspaper in South Korea is the North Korea Daily. Since we are doing it, we must make it the largest and strongest. Only in this way can we correctly guide the people of South Korea.
Sentiment, so I think Sun Investment’s acquisition of JoongAng Ilbo and North Korea Ilbo is the best choice!”
Quan Zaiguo looked at Chu Huan in surprise. He didn't expect Chu Huan's ambition to be so big. He not only wanted the "Joongang Daily" but also the "North Korea Daily"?
Although the Lee Byung-cheol family of the Samsung Group behind the JoongAng Ilbo is stronger than the Bang Il-young family behind the Choong Ilbo, in fact, only in the newspaper industry, the size of the JoongAng Ilbo is several times that of the JoongAng Ilbo.
"Director Chu, it's not that easy to win over these two newspapers, right? Especially the Li family behind the "Central Daily News" has a North American background, coupled with the huge strength of their family."
Quan Douhuan was not surprised by Chu Huan's ambition. In Quan Douhuan's view, this was a manifestation that was in line with Chu Huan's character. Either don't do it, or do the best!
Chu Huan cut off a piece of steak, put it in his mouth, chewed it for a few mouthfuls, and then said, "Commander Quan, our Jiaku comes with great sincerity to cooperate with you. If Commander Quan thinks that we can cooperate with Jiaku,
If Jiaku’s cooperation is not suitable, all Jiaku’s investments in South Korea can be withdrawn tomorrow, including Sun Investment!”
Quan Douhuan raised his eyebrows slightly, feeling a little dissatisfied with Chu Huan's slightly threatening conversation, but he still managed to contain his dissatisfaction well. After all, the Chu Huan in front of him was not an ordinary businessman.
"Director Chu, what are you talking about? We very much welcome Director Chu's investment in South Korea, but Director Chu, you should understand that the problem I just mentioned does exist!"
Chu Huan said calmly, "Commander Quan, although North America has invested in Samsung, you and I both know that whether it is Samsung or the North Korea Daily, their biggest weakness is actually their loans in South Korea. As long as
If Commander Quan gives an order to stop their loans, then I believe these two groups will immediately have problems. The Samsung family has a great business and will not let it affect the development of the entire group for the sake of a "Central Daily News".
Therefore, they will definitely give up the "Central Daily News" to save the commander-in-chief. This will not only allow us to get the "Central Daily News", but more importantly, it will also shock the Samsung Group and make it understand that you, Commander-in-Chief, are the leader of this country.
Owner.
As for Fang Yirong of the North Korea Ilbo, it’s even easier. I really can’t understand why Commander Quan is so hesitant about something that is obviously beneficial to both you and me.”
The development of South Korea's chaebols basically relied on the blood of the South Korean government. To put it simply, in the 1940s and 1950s, South Korea's economy was actually not as good as North Korea's economy. Doesn't it sound like an exaggeration?
The situation in East and West Germany is actually the same. In the early days, the national welfare of East Germany was far better than that of West Germany, and even the development of East Germany was better than that of West Germany.
But with the economic wave and the global layout of North America, this situation has changed.
Back to South Korea, in the era of Rhee Syngman and Park Chung-hee, in order to quickly develop South Korea's economy, they used all the financial resources of the country to help these chaebols develop. Even if you don't want money, we still have to give you money.
, since money is given to you, you must develop.
In order to prevent the money from rotting in the bank, these chaebols in South Korea began to acquire, acquire, and acquire again, and then monopolized all walks of life in South Korea.
But after all, the money was loaned to them by the South Korean government. The South Korean government can provide them with loans indefinitely, so they naturally don't have to worry about money.
But if the South Korean government stops lending to them, they will immediately become the target of public criticism.
Therefore, the so-called South Korea was run by chaebols in later generations, which is just a funny-sounding thing.
Now Chu Huan has exposed this matter to Quan Douhuan!
Hearing Chu Huan's words, Quan Douhuan didn't feel any embarrassment. He just laughed and said, "I didn't expect that Director Chu knew so much about our South Korean economy."
Chu Huan said with a smile, "Since our Jiaku trusts Commander Quan so much and wants to invest in South Korea, we naturally have to do some research on South Korea's economic environment."
Quan Douhuan said, "Even if we agree to your acquisition plan, Mr. Chu, we still have to be famous. Samsung's "Joongang Ilbo" is easier to say, but Bang Yirong's "North Korea Ilbo" is the largest circulation in South Korea after all.
If a newspaper rashly attacks them without a legitimate reason, it will always cause some criticism!"
Chu Huan nodded, agreed with Quan Douhuan's meaning, and said with a smile, "This matter is actually very easy to solve!"
Quan Douhuan showed an interested expression and asked Chu Huan, "I don't know what you mean, Director Chu?"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Chu Huan smiled and said to Quan Douhuan, "Commander Quan, I wonder how much you know about Park Jung-hyung of Sun Investment?"
Quan Douhuan looked at Chu Huan with some suspicion and asked, "Isn't Park Zhenxing our South Korean management talent discovered by Director Chu in North America?"
Chu Huan nodded and said, "Park Zhenxing is indeed a management talent we found in North America, but in fact he has another identity."
Chu Huan then told Quan Douhuan about the grievances between Park Zhenxing's family and Fang Yirong.
After hearing this, Quan Douhuan's expression did not change much, but his words became serious, "I didn't expect that such a shocking and vicious incident would happen in South Korea. We are very concerned about such a black sheep.
It will definitely not be tolerated!”
Chu Huan understood what Quan Douhuan meant and said with a smile, "If Commander Quan can really make a fair trial for the misfortune of Park Zhenxing's family, I believe that Park Zhenxing will be grateful to Commander Quan!"
"
Quan Douhuan just thought about it briefly and understood what Chu Huan meant. Pu Zhenxing was responsible for the blood feud of his family. Now that he helped him get rid of Fang Yirong, Pu Zhenxing would no longer be just a pawn in Chu Huan's hands.
A chess piece, and at the same time, he is still a chess piece in his own hand!
"Haha, Chairman Chu is so polite. As the supreme leader of South Korea, I cannot sit back and watch this happen and do nothing!"
Chu Huan picked up the wine glass, smiled and said to Quan Douhuan, "In this case, I will first thank Commander Quan on behalf of Pu Zhenxing!"
After both parties drank the wine in one gulp, Chu Huan began to talk about another matter.
"Commander Quan, if we want to ensure the influence of Sun Investment in South Korea, and allow Sun Investment to become a new consortium and increase your influence, Commander Quan, a newspaper alone is not enough!"
Quan Douhuan still knew that Chu Huan's appetite would not diminish in South Korea, so he was not too surprised when he heard Chu Huan's suggestion now.
He smiled and asked, "I don't know what you mean, Mr. Chu?"
Chu Huan replied, "Before coming to South Korea, our Jiaku conducted a survey on South Korean consortiums and found a very interesting consortium, Dongming Timber, headquartered in Busan!"
Dongmyeong Wood was founded by Kang Seok-jin in Busan during the Japanese colonial period in South Korea. At that time, its main business was the production of plywood.
After the liberation of South Korea, he merged the plywood production business with the furniture factory. In 1949, he renamed the sawmill "Dongmyeong Timber Trading Company". However, South Korea was poor at that time, and the company that had been operating for more than 20 years still remained
It can only be said that we are struggling to maintain it.
With the outbreak of the war, a large amount of wood was needed for the postwar recovery work in South Korea. Coupled with the fact that plywood was of high quality, low price, and strong and durable, the company's business volume surged rapidly.
The presence of a large number of North American troops stationed in Busan also gave Dongming the opportunity to start a business with North American soldiers.
At that time, the buyers with the strongest paying capacity in the South Korean market were naturally North Americans, and their orders allowed Dongming to gradually accumulate a large amount of cash flow.
Jiang Xizhen benefited a lot from the North American relationship he established.
By 1961, Dongmyeong became the first South Korean company to export plywood to North America.
In the same year, Park Chung-hee came to power through the May 16th Incident, South Korea established an export-oriented national policy, and Dongming became even more arrogant.
In 1967, Dongmyeong Trading Company established Busan Bank and opened two new factories in the next year.
By 1970, Kang Seok-jin overtook Samsung founder Lee Byung-cheol to become the richest man in South Korea. Dongmyeong Wood not only held the top spot among South Korea’s chaebol bosses, but also became the world’s largest plywood manufacturer, making plywood exports South Korea’s largest producer.
Top ten export industries.
Starting in 1975, Kang Seok-jin attacked many fields.
Dongming Trading Company began to build a synthetic resin factory, a hydraulic equipment factory and a high-pressure hose factory, and established a heavy equipment maintenance factory.
In 1976, Dongming Export Packaging Co., Ltd., Dongyang Paper Co., Ltd., and Dongcheng Shipping Co., Ltd. were established. In 1977, Dongming Development Co., Ltd. was established. In 1979, Dongming Food Co., Ltd. was unveiled.
Kang Seok-jin himself has been the president of the Busan Chamber of Commerce since 1962, and concurrently serves as the chairman of the Busan Port and Terminal Management Association and the chairman of the Busan Buddhist Association.
Passionate about education, he founded Dongming University in 1978 and served as the school's first president.
From this point of view, Dongming Timber should be developing well, but in fact, in 1978, due to the sharp rise in international lumber prices, Dongming Trading Co., Ltd. encountered difficulties in its operations.
By this year, Dongming Timber was already facing insolvency.
Ten years ago, Dongmyeong's Kang family chaebol was the most powerful one, but in a blink of an eye, it came to the point where Kang Seok-jin was required to sell part of his property to pay off his debts.
What Chu Huan wants to do now is not to acquire some of the assets of Dongming Timber in Jiangxi Town, but to fully take over Dongming Timber.
In fact, if Chu Huan hadn't appeared, Quan Douhuan would have taken action against Dongming Mu. After all, when Quan Douhuan came on stage, Jiang Xizhen had a North American background and had always been loyal to Quan Douhuan.
This made Quan Douhuan hate Kang Seokjin so much that his teeth hurt!
More importantly, Quan Doo-hwan not only allowed the South Korean government to take over Dongmyeong Timber, but also wiped out the Kang Seok-jin family. This shows how much Quan Doo-hwan hated Kang Seok-jin!
When Chu Huan mentioned Dongming Timber at this time, it can be said that it played into Quan Douhuan's plan!
