While the world is cheering and rejoicing over the arrival of flexible technology, perhaps only in South Korea, where national self-esteem is strong yet fragile, the atmosphere seems a little solemn and silent.
The shipbuilding industry and the electronics industry have always been regarded as strategic core industries by South Korea. For this reason, the South Korean government has opened one green channel after another for the development of these two industries through legislation and government bills, just to allow them to grow wildly and occupy the highest territory in the world.
Doing so will not only drive the development of other related industries, but also greatly boost national self-esteem.
This pursuit of national self-esteem can be regarded as South Korea’s code of conduct!
Of course, there are deeper reasons behind this.
Looking back at history, almost everything the Three Han people experienced was related to words such as humiliation, humbleness, weakness, and bootlicking.
It is precisely this past that is too painful to look back on that has made them try every possible means. On the one hand, they want to try their best to cover up this ignominious history in the past. On the other hand, they also want to create today's glory and establish unprecedented national glory.
It can be said that these measures taken by the South Korean government have almost achieved results, at least in the country!
After reading the tampered history, the majority of the people naively believe that South Korea is a country with a splendid civilization with a history of 5,000 years, second only to Egypt, and they feel indescribable pride in their hearts.
When it comes to contemporary achievements, we are also very proud of them. The shipbuilding industry and the electronics industry are like two super engines that have brought South Korea far ahead of the times.
Therefore, almost all citizens agree that South Korea is the most powerful, richest, oldest and freest country in the world!
However.
Just when all of this was becoming more and more real, Emerald Island appeared!
First up is the Emerald Isle’s shipbuilding industry.
At the Leicestershire Fair in the UK, the performance of the Emerald Isle high-speed transport ship that undoubtedly destroyed the myth of Samsung Shipyard was presented to the world through live broadcast!
In this incident, Emerald Island's behavior was like a heavy hammer that hit the hearts of the Korean people hard, and the national glory that was built up with lies and illusions and was as fragile as bubbles, also completely collapsed.
Since then, the mood in South Korea has not improved.
However, what they didn't expect was that this was far from over!
Another dark day comes unexpectedly!
Flexible technology!
Another technological innovation from Emerald Island is actually targeting the smartphone industry!
And this happens to be the most important one of South Korea’s two major technological engines. They did not expect that after one engine was destroyed by Emerald Island, the other party actually targeted another one!
This is going to kill you!
Therefore, after Emerald Island revealed the news that it would focus on flexible technology, the atmosphere in South Korea was like the bell of national mourning, and the whole country was in mourning.
The popular financial areas such as Dongdaemun and Samsung Times Square, which were once extremely bustling, are now like they have experienced a cold winter, with a sluggish economy and no vitality at all!
First ear.
Qingwatai.
In a top-secret conference room, more than a dozen of the country's top leaders and Samsung Crown Prince Lee Jae-yong were conducting an important meeting concerning the country's affairs with serious expressions.
Sitting in the main seat, Li Zairong's face looked dull and lifeless, like the bottom of a burnt pot, with dark and swollen bags under his eyes, as if he hadn't slept for several months.
It's no wonder, he hasn't had a good night's sleep since his disastrous defeat to Emerald Isle at the Leicestershire Fair.
Moreover, since then, Samsung Heavy Industries has fallen to the bottom. Several of its once prosperous shipyards have now become like yellow flowers after frost, withered and withered.
Not only did a large number of orders disappear, but even the scientific research and production personnel who had been trained for decades were almost lost. Only a large number of gravity machinery facilities and shipbuilding equipment were left, lying idle in the shipyard!
Samsung has never been so embarrassed since its establishment!
This is a shame for Samsung and a shame for Lee Zairong himself!
As the third-generation heir, Lee Zairong could not accept this nightmarish outcome.
He could never accept being nailed to the pillar of shame by his family, his countrymen, and even his nation!
He would never allow this to happen!
It was in this context that he took risks and bribed Filipino drug dealers many times, causing them to do many things that damaged the reputation of the Emerald Island, but the results were not ideal.
And just recently, when Emerald Island once again made an effort to carry out a new generation of revolution in the smartphone industry, Lee Zairong finally couldn't sit still!
Samsung's two major power engines, and even South Korea's two major economic and technological engines, if they are destroyed successively by the Emerald Island, then South Korea and Samsung may really face a catastrophe!
It was precisely because of such a huge challenge that Li Zairong decided to hold this secret meeting!
All the participants in the conference are “leaders” at the highest level of the country!
The decision made at this meeting will determine how South Korea faces the challenge of the Emerald Island!
No!
It should be called a provocation!
Because all of the opponent's actions are aimed at destroying Samsung!
In the conference room, Li Zairong's face turned pale and he said nothing. The other national leaders attending the meeting did not dare to say anything either, and their expressions were equally ugly!
So, even though the meeting had already started for five minutes, it was completely silent. The atmosphere was extremely weird and depressing, making people feel so uncomfortable that they could hardly breathe.
"I'm sure you've all seen that Emerald Island's action this time is aimed at us. Now, we've reached a moment of life and death. Let's talk about how we should respond!"
After the atmosphere was silent for a while, Li Zairong finally spoke.
"The future of South Korea ultimately depends on Samsung and Chairman Lee. How they respond to the challenge from Emerald Island is up to us. We all listen to Chairman Lee."
President Park Mu-geun, who was sitting on Lee Jae-yong's left, couldn't help showing an embarrassed look on his face after hearing what Lee Jae-yong said. After thinking about it, he could only say this.
“They are all garbage!”
Seeing the lack of confidence on Park Mu-geun and other national leaders' faces, Li Zairong's face suddenly turned ugly.
These guys are really useless except for listening to him.
Especially at this critical moment, he couldn't offer any suggestions at all and had to rely on himself!
