Again, the root of all social problems are economic problems.
This is not biased at all.
A deeper analysis shows that the so-called economic issues are actually issues of social resources. Returning to Simon's gene instinct theory, human beings claim to be higher organisms, but deep in their bones, they try to find ways to obtain more social resources so that they can gain broader rights in terms of survival, reproduction, etc. This is an unchanging instinct from ancient times. .
To narrow it down a bit, the Westeros system fosters a black force on the fringes of society in South Korea. To ensure that this force can develop and survive for a long time, it is fundamentally an economic issue.
Chen Qing hit the nail on the head when she asked Black Star to do business.
Whether it is pure black or pure white, or the gray area between black and white, mastering sufficient social resources through business activities is the basis for the Black Star Society to develop and have considerable voice and influence.
When strong enough, this force can play a greater role in the gray area where Simon is inconvenient to take action.
Seeing that Chen Qing got to the point, Simon, who originally planned to skip the topic, continued: "Oh, what business are you planning to do?"
When asked by his boss, Chen Qing, who was born more suitable to be a villain but was born at the wrong time, also became interested. He slapped his boss and said enthusiastically: "We are currently rectifying the original industry of the Black Star Society. First of all, Nightclubs, bars, and game arcades may seem inconspicuous to their owners, but they are actually very profitable."
Simon thought of the Heaven and Earth in Beijing where he had a stake, as well as the game arcades all over China. He smiled and said: "I don't think it is inconspicuous. I am very aware of the huge profits."
Chen Qing thought of the many casinos in Atlantic City controlled by the Westeros system and the comprehensive resort and entertainment industry developed in Rivni, Ukraine. She nodded and said: "Since the boss knows it well, there is no need for me to say more. In short, the first The ministry is to first expand the related industries of the Black Star Society to the entire Seoul, so that it can not only have a stable financial source, but also build an intelligence network."
"Um."
"Then there are other businesses attached to these places. In fact, they are just those three words. However, this part must be separated from the Black Star Association as much as possible. Oh, to put it bluntly, it is outsourcing, both for those second- and third-rate small businesses. This will give the gang some ways to survive, avoid backlash, and ensure that the Black Star Society has at least a relatively clean foundation on the surface. Of course, the Black Star Society’s share of profits is definitely indispensable.”
Simon casually flipped through another document on his lap and asked intently: "What's next?"
"Next is the more high-end operation. The core are two, smuggling and lending," Chen Qing said: "However, the former takes time. In the short term, we mainly expand the loan sharking business, targeting small and medium-sized enterprises in South Korea. With the current economic situation in South Korea, those Small and medium-sized enterprises borrow money, and the possibility of repaying it is very low. When the time comes, Black Star will be able to take over the situation. Bosses should not underestimate loan sharking. Counting the money laundering business closely related to lending, when it becomes bigger, this will become A financial network that penetrates all aspects of South Korea can even affect South Korea’s economic policies.”
Of course Simon would not take it lightly.
Just like the Internet has a huge darknet network, under the global financial system on the surface, there is also a very huge black gold network.
Why Western developed countries, especially the United States, are generally passive about suppressing the drug trade and even continue to promote the legalization of some related fields? The key lies in the black gold network attached to the drug trade. Hundreds of billions of dollars of funds flow in every year, either openly or covertly. , and even affect the economic operation of a country to a certain extent.
It's still an economic issue.
In short, with the huge interests of hundreds of billions of dollars, everyone from top to bottom can have a full meal, so who would have the motivation to suppress it. This has also led to the fact that when a large number of money laundering cases are revealed in Western banks, they are often turned into minor matters and rarely get to the bottom of it.
Thinking like this, Simon turned over a page of the information on the plan to split and integrate Daewoo Group's electronics industry in front of him, and then said: "Have you ever thought that Black Star will become too big and eye-catching? What should I do?"
Chen Qing obviously thought about it and blurted out: "Internationalization."
Simon nodded and hit the mark again. He did not ask in detail, but just explained: "Remember one thing, supporting these black forces is mainly to serve as auxiliary tools. Once the tools lose control, there is no need to exist. , As for the benefits, they may be very huge for ordinary people, but we still look down upon them.”
"I understand," Chen Qing said. Seeing her boss reading the documents in his hand, he remembered something, picked out a folder from the side and handed it over, saying: "There is one more thing, boss, to recruit the Black Star Club. At that time, I discovered that there is still a force in South Korea that is worthy of our management."
Simon glanced at the title of the folder. It was a research report on the Korean prosecutor system. He was no longer surprised. He opened it casually and asked, "How did you find out?"
Chen Qing felt the tone of her boss and realized that the men around her obviously understood certain things, but she still said patiently: "In the beginning, Black Star would go to the production company that Taixi was responsible for to cause trouble. He must be punished immediately. I contacted the connections at Cheong Wa Dae, and they recommended me a district prosecutor in charge of Gangnam District. Then, it was so devastating that the places that should be closed down and the people that should be arrested were wiped out in the blink of an eye. I then checked and found out that the prosecutors in South Korea Officials are simply the imperial guards of China's Ming Dynasty. Except for the current president of South Korea who can suppress them a little, others are simply running amok."
As Chen Qing spoke, she saw her boss turned to a page and stretched out a green index finger: "These articles very accurately summarize the authority of Korean prosecutors. The first one is higher than the investigation of the Korean police. Judicial power means that prosecutors have priority in criminal investigation, and the police system can only cooperate. Second, exclusive prosecution power. In South Korea, only prosecutors can decide whether to prosecute a person. Think about it, even if one person If you are guilty and the prosecutor decides not to prosecute, you are not guilty. Finally, the third one is the individual responsibility system. As long as a case falls on a prosecutor, everything from the early decision of whether to launch an investigation to the final decision of whether to prosecute will be completely One person is in charge. At least on the surface, neither the prosecutor's superiors nor his subordinates have the right to interfere. It's life and death. Boss, isn't that awesome?"
Simon felt the excited tone of the girl next to him, squeezed her waist with his big hands, and said with a smile: "It sounds like you can't help but want to come to South Korea to be a prosecutor."
"That's not true." Chen Qing shook her slender body and helped her boss turn the page of information on her lap before continuing: "There is a saying in China that virtue is not worthy of its place. Does your boss know that? "
Simon nodded.
Chen Qing said: "As for the prosecutors in South Korea, my understanding, if I change it a little bit, it should be called financial mismatch."
Simon smiled and echoed: "How to say?"
"South Korean prosecutors have very powerful powers. They can investigate high-ranking officials, wealthy businessmen, celebrities, etc. at will. However, even if the corresponding positions have very good remuneration, after all, they are just members of the Korean civil service system. No matter how high the salary is, it will not be high. Where to go. This is where the huge contradiction lies." Chen Qing smiled, and when she said this, she directly changed the subject: "Let's talk about the prosecutor who helped clean up the Black Star Society. After everything is done, I will have someone send him a gift. I gave him a whole box of banknotes, it was a big box, one step was all it took, and then, hey, this is one of our dogs.”
Simon nodded slightly again: "In that case, raise a few more."
Chen Qing then smiled like a little fox: "Besides, boss, we are still on the outside."
"This is called a chess player."
“The boss is so insightful.”
Simon picked up the information on his lap and patted his thigh: "Come here, I can't let you take advantage of me in vain, I want to take pictures back."
Chen Qing rushed over with a smile on her face. As soon as she took the pose, her assistant Lin Guili in Korea appeared at the door of the living room. The door was not closed. Suddenly seeing the indoor scene, Lin Guili quickly took a step back and hid by the door and said: "Wei Mr. Stroh, Ms. Chen, and the heads of SK Entertainment, Samsung Entertainment, and Hyundai Entertainment are all here."
Although the Westeros system has invested in many film and television entertainment companies in South Korea, the three giants with the three major chaebols as shells are actually the foundation. Other entertainment companies are relatively single, either making music or movies. Entertainment is fully rolled out, including movies, TV, music, games, theaters, etc.
Simon had already met the heads of the three entertainment giants yesterday, but that could only be regarded as recognition of ownership, allowing them to know more clearly who is the actual boss of the three major entertainment companies.
I called people here today to make specific arrangements for the Korean entertainment industry.
As for other small production companies, Simon does not have that much energy to take care of them all, so he can only let them go. If any company does well, it will receive key support.
"Let them wait a moment," Simon responded, patting Nizi on her lap: "Get up, let's go to the meeting together."
Chen Qing twisted her body coquettishly and refused to get up, so Simon could only pick her up and walk out.
This meeting mainly discussed movies and theater chains.
Last year, Simon determined a dumping plan to produce 30 films in South Korea every year. Among them, such as "The Spy of Life and Death", which is a relatively high-investment big-budget film in South Korea, three films have been confirmed, all equivalent to about 10 million US dollars. For investment, each of the three companies is responsible for one, which can be regarded as promoting competition.
There were also some short films, which Simon patiently studied. After all, they were areas he was good at and he was very comfortable with them.
Then there are the theaters.
Taking advantage of the ongoing economic crisis in South Korea, the three companies have recently spared no effort to acquire theaters across South Korea, or use their financial advantages from the Westeros system to build new theaters. Currently, they have not encountered any opponents. On the one hand, it is the general environment, and on the other hand, they have not encountered any opponents. In terms of strength, it is still strength.
Not surprisingly, after this year, the three companies will control more than 70% of the theaters in South Korea, and the rest will only be some theaters in remote areas or small theaters that the three companies do not like. They are likely to be eliminated in the future, and finally achieve the goal of the three companies. further monopoly.
Simon's arrangement for this matter is that each of the three companies must divide their own spheres of influence to avoid unnecessary internal competition.
When the meeting ended, it was already noon.
Now that the time has come, I casually left a few senior executives to dine here together. It can be seen that the simple meal made several Korean senior executives burst into tears, and they wanted to squander Simon's liver and brains immediately. Chen Qing, who was watching, reflected for a moment and decided that she should be more courteous to the corporal in the future.
After lunch, a female guard leader from the manor came over to remind Simon if he wanted to see Miss Cao again.
Only when he heard the reminder from the people around him did Simon remember the casual instructions he gave in the morning.
Almost forgot.
So he asked the female guard leader to take him to the indoor swimming pool on the side of the main villa, and decided in advance to swim in the afternoon.
The tall and fit short-haired girl wearing a black women's suit followed the female guard leader into the indoor swimming pool with a transparent glass dome, and subconsciously paused.
Because the picture is too gorgeous.
In the mist, the pond is full of girls playing happily, like mermaids, very natural, very natural, original ecology.
This was very daunting to a girl who was actually quite conservative at heart.
It's okay to let her kill people and set fires, but it's really unbearable in front of her.
His eyes quickly noticed a certain figure, leaning on the edge of the pool, with most of his body immersed in the mist-filled pool water. He was holding a bottle of red wine in his hand and was feeding the fish. It was still the kind of spoon-fed feeding. The girl with a somewhat baby face is trying to raise her head, and the image is easy to associate with.
The girl whose pseudonym is Cao Minyuan is not a young girl who doesn't understand anything, so when she sees that scene, it is easy to think of something, and she can't even move.
Seeing that she didn't move, the female guard had no choice but to step forward. After a while, the baby-faced girl drank the bottle of red wine in the man's hand before she whispered a few words into the man's ear.
After returning, Cao Minyuan was taken to a reception room next door.
Sitting on the sofa in the living room, Cao Minyuan had some strange feelings when she thought about the situation just now. The man asked her to go to the swimming pool to meet him, but when she saw that she refused to come forward, he did not force her, but allowed her to Waiting here, he seems to be a pretty good man.
Well, no.
With so many women, how can he be a good man
While she was thinking about it, the sound of footsteps was heard. Cao Minyuan quickly cheered up. When she saw Simon Westeros walking in wearing a white bathrobe, she subconsciously stood up again. When the other person came closer, she didn't know how to react. , and probably after arriving in Korea for a period of time, I was immersed in what I heard and learned, so I naturally bowed to the man and said in Chinese: "Hello, Mr. Westeros."
I was reminded in advance that in front of Simon Westeros, it is enough to speak Chinese.
