The reason why Chen Qing is so easy to talk about when arranging work for Cheng Tae-hee's brother and sister-in-law is related to Simon's strategy toward Korea.

As we all know, South Korea is a country ruled by chaebols.

This is actually a gradual process.

It is only said that after World War II, until 1993, South Korea was in an era of military control. During this period, the economic strength of the chaebol continued to strengthen, but the power of this country was still in the hands of the South Korean government.

Then Kim Yongsan came to power, which was the first literary president in South Korea. Moreover, Kim Yongsan also took the initiative to crack down on and eliminate the military forces within the South Korean government. As a result, it actually damaged the power of the South Korean government. After all, the power came out of the gun, so the military withdrew from politics and money began to gradually dominate the country.

Immediately afterwards, the Asian financial crisis in 1997.

After this financial crisis, a large number of small and medium-sized enterprises in South Korea went bankrupt. Under the IMF's control, the result of the structural reform of the national economy was not that South Korea's economic structure was healthier, but that under the promotion of the Matthew effect, the strong became stronger and the strength of the chaebol further expanded, and eventually actually controlled the country.

The monopoly of chaebol capital has caused extremely concentrated social resources, resulting in the competitive pressure of South Korea's society exceeding the competition. The result is that South Korea once had the world's number one average working hours, and the ultra-low fertility rate close to the bottom in the world, with a population of more than 50 million, brought to the poor 260,000 newborns a year later.

Apart from the world's top per capita GDP, South Korea does not want to be like a developed country in many aspects.

Of course, these have nothing to do with Simon.

Survival of nature.

as well as.

The way of human beings is to lose enough and to serve the rest.

This is Simon's increasingly believed in life creed.

For South Korea, Simon's role is a conqueror. However, because now is a civilized society, everyone is a civilized person, and the means of conquest must of course be more civilized.

To put it bluntly, the rule of the chaebol in South Korea is actually a family system extended by Chinese culture.

The same is true in Japan.

Since it is a aristocratic family system, what Simon, the controller behind the scenes, needs to do is to promote and cultivate a aristocratic family that is loyal to him.

Therefore, in private, Simon gave Chen Qing a fundamental strategy to manage Korea, not to be based on the merits, but to be based on nepotism. No matter whether you are a talented person or not, those who follow me will prosper, and those who go against me will perish.

In fact, it's the same as Ukraine.

Because neither Ukraine nor South Korea will become the foundation of the Westeros system, even if it is completely screwed up, it has nothing to do with the overall situation.

Specifically for South Korea, Simon attaches great importance to South Korea's semiconductor and other industries, but from the beginning, his idea was that if he could not fully control it, it wouldn't matter if he destroyed it.

To put it bluntly, South Korea's strong semiconductor industry strength was not how strong the Korean companies were, but that the West did not set up many technical barriers towards South Korea like China, so it allowed South Korea to introduce related technologies without barriers and vigorously develop the semiconductor industry.

To put it bluntly, if the relevant technical barriers are fully opened up and China replaces South Korea, it is inevitable that South Korea will replace Japan.

Since it is not irreplaceable, the result of destruction is not unbearable.

Under this strategy, Simon doesn't need much talent, but focuses more on loyalty.

Simon only has one result: the land, gold, and women of this country are mine!

If you cannot conquer, then destroy it.

...

Sung Tae-hee asked for work from Chen Qing and started to contact the movie circles that were almost not a circle in Korea. When she learned that this woman was deliberately placed in the background title of Daenerys Entertainment by Chen Qing, the already small Korean film circle also became enthusiastic.

Daenerys Entertainment has always attached great importance to the localized operation of overseas markets over the years. Many films have been supported in Europe, Latin America and Asia. Now, it is finally South Korea's turn.

On the other hand, Chen Qing didn't have time to pay attention to these trivial matters.

With the arrival of the new week, on Monday, November 17, the South Korean government officially issued a bill to remove the restrictions on shares of overseas investors in South Korea. In addition to a few restrictive areas, other aspects such as electronics, automobiles, catering, etc. will be completely relaxed at one time, which is only 50% of the restrictions in negotiations with the IMF. This is a step in place.

In terms of media and entertainment, foreign capital is not allowed to enter the traditional paper media and wireless radio and television in South Korea, and in terms of cable TV, foreign capital holdings are relaxed to 50%, while others, such as music, theaters, film and television production, artist brokerage, etc., are completely relaxed, and foreign capital can hold 100% of the shares.

With the promulgation of the law, the Westeros system signed more than a dozen companies in related fields in the next few days.

All are very small.

Mainly, it is impossible to find a bigger one.

As for the reasons, from the perspective of movies, TV and music.

In terms of film, since the Park Chung-hee era, the Korean film industry has been basically occupied by overseas films. Korean films have not won the local box office championship for 20 years. In many years, the top ten Korean annual box offices have been completely occupied by overseas films. The local film circle is in an optional state.

The turnaround only started last year.

In 1996, the Kim Young-san government formally established a film quota system to protect the Korean film industry, stipulating that Korean cinemas must screen local movies for 146 days a year.

This turnaround has given Korean companies an opportunity, from chaebols to individuals, all of them have set up film production companies. After all, if you put the 146-day quota there, you can invest in some small movies and you will hope to get good returns. It will be useless to not do it.

However, with the quota system in place, South Korea's film censorship system is still there.

Therefore, no one dares to let go too much.

Now, with the Asian financial crisis, South Korea is short of money. In the next one or two years, if there is no special turnaround, it will still be difficult for Korean movies to make a comeback.

This has been the case in history.

In 1996, Korean films implemented a 146-day quota system. However, it was not until 1999 that Korean films began to explode. The background was in 1998. South Korea's new president Kim Dae-jung not only abolished the censorship system of Korean films and adopted a hierarchical system, but also promoted the "cultural country-building" strategy.

In addition, the Korean economy began to recover after the catastrophe in 1997. In just one year in 1999, Korean movies not only won the annual box office championship that had been lost for more than 20 years through "The Life and Death Transformation", but also quickly recovered the market that was divided by overseas films such as Hollywood. At the same time, they also began to win various overseas awards and various glory.

In short, 1997 was the best time for the Westeros system to enter.

If you miss it, it is very difficult to penetrate the Korean film industry.

Let’s talk about TV.

Before 1997, South Korea's TV industry was basically divided by three major wireless TV stations, and South Korea's TV stations did not open up private ownership until 1990, so foreign capital could not even think about it. Even this reform, foreign capital could only enter the cable TV field and its shareholding could not exceed 50%.

In addition, South Korea has not yet promoted the separation of production and broadcasting system, so the television field is basically the world of three old TV stations.

It was only after this node in 1997 that the Westeros system was expected to enter.

Finally, it's music.

The Korean music industry only says that the proprietary term "K-POP" was born, which shows how prosperous it is.

But, this is also what happened after 1997.

Moreover, Simon, who has been quietly paying attention to South Korea, also discovered this time that South Korea SM Entertainment, which once promoted the rise of the 'K-POP' mode, was actually dropped by a butterfly this time, and even Lee Soo-man didn't know where it was.

Simon likes a certain name very much, and he will feel the picture at first glance.

This is not surprising.

Let's start with the movie.

Simon's "Running Roll" was released in South Korea in 1987, and it won the third place in the annual box office in South Korea. Then, Daenerys Entertainment rose, and the films produced can occupy several positions on the annual box office list almost every year.

These are big butterflies, which are enough to change too many things in Korea in every aspect.

The result is that the Korean music circle has also been learning from Europe and the United States in recent years, but lacks a pioneering leader, and can only be counted as a kitten of three or two. Like movies, the Korean music circle is the most popular among the international pop singers.

Of course, these are not problems for Simon.

The so-called "K-POP" is just a variant of the Western "Teen-POP" combination model. If you acquire more small music companies and give the model, then it will be just a fostering pot.

Just like South Korea's automobiles and semiconductors, why are they so developed? They were also raising Gu back then.

Especially semiconductors.

In the 1970s and 1980s, due to the huge profit temptation of a "one box of chips for one ship of ore" widely circulated in the Korean semiconductor industry, South Korea's slightly capable chaebols rushed to the semiconductor industry. It can be said that the Korean version of "big chip refining". In the end, only Samsung and Hyundai and other companies stood out, which also created Samsung's later glory.

One of the big reasons is that in Simon's opinion, it is actually very simple.

Choose the right path.

Especially Samsung, while other chaebols were divesting and withdrawing, it was firmly snatching the semiconductor sector and not letting go. As a result, it turned out to be in the right direction. With the rapid development of the electronics industry and relying on the profits brought by semiconductors, Samsung Electronics' market value soared hundreds of times from the lowest point in 1997 to the next 20 years.

There is another episode in it.

It was about the inheritance of Samsung Group. The Lee family did not expect that Samsung Electronics' market value would grow so quickly. As a result, it became more and more difficult for Lee Kun-hee to transfer more equity to her son. Later, everyone also saw that with Lee Kun-hee's death, the Lee family's control over Samsung Group was shaky, and all kinds of bad things surrounding the Lee family continued.

This is a later story.

In short, it is very important to choose the right direction.

Hyundai's Zheng family gave up semiconductors in the financial crisis and subsequent aftermath and chose automobiles. Later, although Hyundai is still the top chaebol in South Korea, and Hyundai Motor also occupied more than 70% of South Korea's market, the market value of the entire Hyundai Group is only one-tenth of that of Samsung.

Therefore, if you extend and expand South Korea's K-POP, and even South Korea's entertainment, Simon is confident in the future of the entire Westeros system. Because Simon knows the correct direction in many aspects in the next twenty years.

In the next twenty years, the Westeros system will be more deeply rooted in this world.

...

While the Westeros system began to deploy the Korean entertainment industry, the IMF's negotiations with the South Korean government, as well as the Westeros system's negotiations with Samsung, Hyundai and SK companies, are continuing to make a profit.

Chen Qing quickly discovered the intentional delays of the three companies during the negotiations.

Know it very well.

This is waiting for the results of negotiations between the authorities and the IMF.

After all, although the promises given by the Westeros system are tempting, everyone is not a child. Everyone knows what this cooperation means more.

Therefore, if this IMF rescue can become a turning point, the three companies will definitely not mind temporarily repent.

It is normal that business matters cannot be negotiated.
