The dance hall was filled with loud music.
Holding a bottle of beer and lying side by side on the railing, looking at the lively dance floor below where people were as crowded as saury cans, Lin Guili waited for Cao Minyuan to send away her subordinates, and continued to speak in Chinese to avoid being overheard as much as possible: "About you? Ms. Chen refused when she asked us to help establish direct contact with the semiconductor factory. She also asked me to tell you that in the words of you Chinese: Yangguan Road and single-plank bridge must be clearly distinguishable."
Cao Minyuan, who was also lying back on the railing, felt a little weird when she heard Lin Guili say this in her ear, but nodded quickly: "I understand."
The global information industry is exploding. Due to tariff barriers between countries, semiconductor smuggling is very profitable.
Black Star will gradually develop this business and find that it is really profitable. In order to do more, Black Star will take the initiative to test Chen Qing to see if he can help establish direct supply relationships with semiconductor manufacturers such as Samsung.
Lin Guili's words just now were Chen Qing's response.
Cao Minyuan knew that she was just a chess piece and had completely sold herself out, so she was not disappointed with the result.
It just feels a little... ridiculous.
Are Yangguan Road and single-plank bridge really distinct
Then where did this group of people come from
And tonight, the subordinate who just greeted me just followed someone's instructions and broke someone else's leg.
Lin Guili noticed Cao Minyuan's expression, calmed down a little, and said, "It seems you don't understand very well."
Cao Minyuan looked over seriously.
Everyone has their own aura. The Dark Phoenix, immersed in the darkness and killing, is definitely the kind of existence that makes many people feel awe-inspiring when they get closer.
Lin Guili seemed unaware and continued to speak in Chinese: "It is obviously impossible to be a real Jingwei, just like there must be an intersection between Jingwei and Jingwei. If you want to expand the semiconductor smuggling business, you can contact the senior management of the semiconductor factory who can provide you with help. , whether it is through ordinary business or other means, as long as it can be done, we will not stop it, but we must not be involved. If something happens in the future, the tracing can only go to the executives you have roped in. .”
Cao Minyuan actually didn't like this girl who probably had been with a certain woman named Chen for a long time. Her gestures, gestures, and tone were somewhat similar to hers, so she could only deal with it patiently: "Ms. Lin, we know what to do."
"very good."
Lin Guili nodded. She didn't like such a smoky place either. She casually chatted with Cao Minyuan for a few words, then turned and left the nightclub.
Instead of returning to his residence, he rushed to the big boss's mansion in the mountains in the southern part of Jiangnan District.
This is the benefit of a waitress of her level.
Houses that are unoccupied for a long time tend to quickly become dilapidated and decayed. Simon doesn't want his properties around the world to become like this, so he basically arranges a team of housekeepers to be there.
In addition, women who are relatively close to you can also borrow it.
Of course, there are a lot of rules.
The most important thing is that outsiders are absolutely not allowed to enter, whether they are men or women. As for holding a party in the mansion while occupying the magpie's nest, that is even more taboo.
In addition, areas that belong exclusively to the owner's home, such as the master bedroom and private study, are also restricted areas.
When Simon is away, a strict monitoring system will be installed in each luxury property. Even when the maid team performs routine cleaning, they will carry recorders with them, and they must be in groups of at least two to ensure that no one can quietly tamper with these properties. , such as installing bugs or the like.
Obviously, all of this means expensive costs.
Fortunately, as I said before, money is the least of the problems for Simon now.
Entering the mansion, Lin Guili had taken a shower and had just walked out in a bathrobe. Her assistant's assistant, who was also a member of the Wei family's maids, came over with one of her work mobile phones, covered the phone and whispered softly: " Still Kim Woo-jung’s lawyer.”
Lin Guili shook her head directly.
Instead of returning to her residence, Lin Guili came here just to hide from people.
Because there will definitely be someone blocking the outside of your residence.
Of course it's not to coerce her or anything. No one dares to do this to her in South Korea now. It's mainly to plead for mercy.
Or beg for mercy.
Beg for mercy for former Daewoo Group leader Kim Woo-jung, who will be sentenced for the second trial tomorrow.
The other party has obviously heard the news and has been working hard in recent days.
The waitress, whose figure and appearance were not inferior to Lin Guili's, saw Lin Guili shaking her head and put the phone to her ear: "Sorry, Lawyer Liu."
After that, he didn't explain too much, hung up the phone, confirmed with Lin Guili, turned around and walked out.
Lin Guili waited for her assistant to leave, sat on the sofa, and opened her laptop. She had just finished browsing a recent report on the capital flow of Korean companies submitted by the IMF team when her personal mobile phone rang.
After picking it up and looking at it, Lin Guili couldn't help but frown, but she still answered the call. Without waiting for a greeting from the other party, she said directly: "Dad, if you don't want to lose your position, then it's best not to make this call to plead for Jin Yuzhong."
“…”
"Dad, you know, Jin Yuzhong's problem is not at all his economic crimes. If it were just these, the Westeros system would not get involved. Jin Yuzhong's real problem is his eavesdropping on Mr. Westeros. This It is the most intolerable provocation by Mr. Westeros, so he must go to jail."
“…”
"How much money can you have?"
“…”
"Interview is not possible. Let me say it again, Dad, I don't have any power to intervene in this matter. The most I can do is help pass on the message. So, give me a number. I first need to make sure that I won't get scolded if I call Miss Chen?"
“…”
"Ok. Please wait for a moment."
After hanging up the phone on the other side, Lin Guili thought for a moment and dialed Chen Qing's number. The other side picked up the phone and said directly: "Ms. Chen, Jin Yuzhong has asked me to contact me again, saying that... he is willing to pay 500 million US dollars, hoping to avoid going to jail. ?”
“…”
"I think US$500 million is definitely very conservative. The investigation team on the Kim Woo-jung case has been trying to recover the funds he hid overseas. It is said to be between US$1 billion and US$2 billion. Let's negotiate and let the other party come up with US$1 billion." no problem?"
“…”
"I understand, Miss Chen."
After closing the thread again, Lin Guili quietly took a deep breath, feeling a little complicated.
One billion US dollars in cash. If you can have such a sum of money, you won't need to pursue other pursuits in this life.
However, the opponent still gave up.
Inevitably, I was taught a lesson again.
However, Lin Guili had no way to refute, and realized that her initial thoughts were still a bit shallow.
The target of Jin Yuzhong this time is not only his eavesdropping on the big boss, but according to what Chen Qing just said, there is also a more important one, establishing rules.
Set rules for South Korea’s chaebols.
The rule is that it doesn't matter how the plutocrats in this land play with the government, but if they provoke the Westeros system, then don't expect good results, and for the relevant punishments, definitely don't expect to be able to redeem yourself with money.
Think about it, actually.
If Jin Yuzhong can avoid going to jail by giving money this time, other chaebols will inevitably become more confident and think that Simon Westeros can also be smashed with money. How much awe can they still have
After sorting this out, Lin Guili didn't call again, simply replied a message to her father, and then turned off her phone.
The next morning.
All eyes are on you.
The second trial of Daewoo Group leader Kim Woo-jung's alleged tax evasion, financial fraud and other cases is still 25 years old. The result is the same as the first trial, no more, no less.
Jin Yuzhong was born in 1936 and is 63 years old this year.
In 25 years, I will be 88 years old.
A very auspicious number, if the other party can survive until that time.
In the past timeline, one of the things that South Korean chaebols were good at when they were in prison was all kinds of bailouts. This time, of course, Simon would not give the other party a chance.
Unless you are really seriously ill, don't even think about taking advantage of this loophole.
Don't even think about getting a reduced sentence.
This is establishing prestige.
The day of the second trial was accompanied by an overwhelming attack on Kim Woo-jung by the Korean media, which also included attacks on the major chaebols.
The 1997 financial crisis caused by the arbitrary actions of chaebols led to the unemployment of countless people in South Korea at the end of 1998. In this cold winter, even in Seoul, the capital of South Korea, many unemployed poor residents could not even afford heating. All of this One of the culprits, Jin Yuzhong, deserves to be imprisoned and cannot be forgiven.
Incited by public opinion, some people held another rally that day, believing that the punishment of Kim Woo-jung was still insufficient and demanding that the authorities pursue other chaebols responsible for the financial crisis.
Faced with this one-sided public opinion atmosphere, Kim Yu-jung's spokesperson held a brief press conference that afternoon, stating that he accepted the trial results and would not appeal.
Of course, Jin Yuzhong would not give in so easily, but received a warning.
Continue to appeal. Next time, the sentence will no longer be 25 years. By then, unless Jin Yuzhong can ensure that he lives to be 120 years old, he will not be able to get out of prison.
For a super-rich man who secretly hoards more than 1 billion US dollars in cash in overseas accounts, it is not easy to put him in jail. After all, even in the most extreme circumstances, with a huge amount of cash, it is possible to break the net. .
Simon was also not negligent about this.
Jin Yuzhong's every move in custody is under strict surveillance. If he really has the idea of killing the fish and breaking the net, there will only be one outcome: the fish will die.
The title of a chaebol leader committing suicide out of guilt is a ready-made one.
What's more, Jin Yuzhong is not alone. He has his own family behind him. Simon has no intention of killing everyone. The former chaebol leader can be his own prison in peace, and his descendants can continue to rely on the wealth left by the other party. Enjoy a wealthy life.
1 billion to 2 billion, Simon really doesn't like it.
In addition, on the same day that Kim Woo-jung accepted his second trial, Jeon Eun-kyung's parents also hurriedly returned to their hometown in Incheon with their son, who had a broken arm and a broken leg.
The Black Star Club thug who was in charge of things that night, Ha Ximin, actually spoke very artistically.
According to Ha Ximin's subtext, Quan Eun-kyung is just a money-making machine trained by a big boss. Quan Ho-hyun's troubles almost ruined Quan Eun-kyung's reputation and prevented him from debuting, so he was punished. No matter what they think, the whole father, the whole mother, and even Quan Haoxian, who is actually very cowardly at heart, dare not pester Quan Eun-kyung again.
Quan Eun-kyung, who had been heartbroken by her brother's unreasonable troubles in the restaurant before, learned about her brother's experience. She didn't say anything and didn't show her face. She just said goodbye to her parents on the phone.
It's a small thing.
In December 1998, which is about to pass, for South Korea, after a year of drastic adjustments under the IMF system, it seems that the South Korean economy has come out of the most difficult period. Even if it is still at the bottom, It couldn't be worse, the next step was a rebound.
For ordinary people, the appreciation of the South Korean won over the past month is evidence of South Korea's economic rebound.
However, the inside has long been changed beyond recognition.
Although South Korea in the original time and space was severely cheated by the IMF in 1997, and some core consortiums were also infiltrated by foreign capital, in fact, the economic dominance was still largely regained by South Korea. To be precise, it was South Korea's major chaebols have regained the initiative, just because a large proportion of foreign capital holdings such as Samsung Electronics will continue to squeeze the profits created by the South Korean economy.
However, the result is that the dividends of economic growth cannot be transferred to the Korean people.
For the chaebols, it doesn't matter.
This time, the Westeros system has absolute control over South Korea.
Simon's original goal was to build South Korea into an economic colony in the Westeros system. The term colony seems a bit out of date in modern society, but it has always existed. A typical example is France's economic colonization of some African countries, but only to a certain extent. It's just deep and shallow.
After a year of operation, the Westeros system has completely won the electronics industry, which was later regarded as the absolute pillar of South Korea's economy, including core semiconductors, LCD screens and other businesses.
And it is different from Samsung Electronics.
This time, it is the kind that has the absolute right to speak, rather than just scattered shareholders standing behind the scenes waiting to receive dividends.
In addition to the electronics industry, another Korean star industry, film and television entertainment, the Westeros system has also completed an in-depth layout.
This part of the industry will not only bring huge profits to the Westeros system in the future, but can also serve as a tool of public opinion and play a strong cultural guidance role.
Just like Hollywood.
Why the United States has such a positive image in the world and why it has become the aspiration of countless people? In addition to its strong economy, Hollywood's all-round beautification of the United States is also a very important reason.
Such as American soldiers.
As long as you watch American soldiers on the big screen, from "Saving Private Ryan" to "Transformers", you will subconsciously feel that American soldiers are the embodiment of justice, the guardians of world peace, and the people who are willing to protect their homes and country. The selfless defender who sacrificed his life.
As for reality.
The Japanese near the U.S. military base in Okinawa must feel it deeply, especially women, who feel it even more deeply.
However, under the continuous brainwashing of Hollywood blockbusters, more people still believe that the US military is the messenger of justice.
This is the power of controlling public opinion.
Besides, the Korean entertainment industry may not be as influential as Hollywood, but star idol soap operas are, first of all, good pacifiers. Secondly, there are Korean movies. Later Korean movies are famous for daring to criticize reality, although in the end what It can't be changed, but it is also a way to relieve the public's suppressed emotions, the same pacifier.
In short, if used well, it will not only milk Korea, but also spread to surrounding areas.
In addition to the core electronics and entertainment, other areas such as steel, chemicals, construction, shipbuilding, etc., have all been won. Even the automobile industry, which Simon looks down on, has been guided by the transfer of the industrial chain to China. In fact, considerable control has been formed.
After all, time is still short.
It is undeniable that this kind of control will only exist at points for the time being, but as time goes by, strong industries that can create enough profits and have enough voice will inevitably spread their tentacles in all directions like an octopus.
In every aspect.
The end result is economic colonization in its most thoroughgoing form.
