Chapter 189 Eat it dry
In the past few decades, to be precise, starting from the so-called "Miracle on the Han River" period, South Korea's economy has engaged in the so-called "industrial transfer" to Japan. In the process, it developed rapidly.
Only in recent years, especially after the economic crisis in 1998, South Korea's economic growth has begun to slow down significantly. During the years when President Roh was in power, the annual growth rate was between 2% and 100%. The GDP growth rate of three-quarters is even more disappointing.
Today, the rhetoric that progressives are not good at managing the economy and that progressives are economic idiots has become the most effective weapon used by conservatives to attack President Roh. At the same time, in order to compete with progressives In stark contrast, conservatives, especially local officials with membership of the Grand National Party, are engaged in various forms of economic development measures and talk about attracting investment almost every day. You engage in one project of this kind, and I engage in another project of that kind, as if all conservatives are little economic experts.
The key is that after several years of economic slowdown, coupled with numerous reports in newspapers and news, and the subprime mortgage crisis slowly sweeping the world, people's lives are becoming increasingly complex. It’s getting worse, so there are still many people in South Korea who believe that the Grand National Party is better at economic development. Even the Cheonggyecheon River management project that Lee Min-bo started has become a highlight project to promote Seoul’s economic development.
Everyone seems to have forgotten overnight how loud the opposition in Seoul was when the Gyecheon improvement project was first implemented.
So, never underestimate the impact of public opinion on national consciousness. Even if the initial public opinion sounds funny, not many people believe it, and not many people pay attention to it. However, as the media and newspapers With endless propaganda and constant bombardment of advertisements, no matter how absurd or funny the remarks are, they will still occupy a certain market.
The reason why An Rusong wants to develop NGN software and pays so much attention to pop-up windows and portals is because under the current real social background of South Korea, if he wants to get involved in the field of media, he can only start from The network has reached out, and there is no other way.
In the living room, Liu Shanyong kept introducing the investment policies of Enping District to An Rusong. According to him, the Enping District Office is preparing to implement a large-scale investment project called the "97 Plan" , with preferential land, tax reduction and exemption policies, and huge employment subsidies, attract 97 types of high value-added industries and service industries, including the Internet, to invest and construct in the specially designated investment zone in Enping District.
As an Internet unicorn company, NGN Company is naturally one of the investors that Enping District strives to attract. Therefore, as long as An Rusong can persuade Defengjie and Apple to transfer NGN Company’s headquarters and If the data center is moved to Enping District, all the preferential policies offered by the Enping District Office will be covered by NGN Company, including employment subsidies.
The so-called employment subsidies are not simply subsidies for companies to hire workers. It also includes transportation subsidies for company employees to commute, subsidies for renting and purchasing housing, and even various subsidies paid by companies for employees. Subsidies that can be enjoyed when purchasing insurance.
To be honest, these subsidies are quite substantial when accumulated together. Even if they can only be enjoyed for three years and require employees to settle in Enping District, they are still very valuable to most companies. Seductive.
"Brother Shanyong, don't worry," An Rusong said with a smile after listening to the other party briefly explaining the preferential policies of Enping District, "although I can't decide the investment affairs of NGN Company in one word. , but I still have some initiative in terms of the right to speak, so, Even without these preferential policies, I will try my best to ensure that the data center project is located in Enping District. Now, since the district office still has so many preferential policies, I believe that the entire NGN headquarters will be moved there. , there shouldn’t be much of a problem.”
"Haha, I believe Rusong will definitely help my brother with this," Liu Shanyong laughed. He picked up the teacup in front of him, gestured to An Rusong, and then said, "As for the second thing , it’s relatively easy.”
Take a sip of tea. , he said: "At the end of the month, the district office will hold a gathering of well-known entrepreneurs, and hold an open symposium that allows the media to participate in the '97 Plan' planned by the district office. By then, hope will be strong." I can also participate, even if it is to support my brother.”
An Rusong immediately understood what the other party meant. He smiled and said, "This matter is simple. Brother Shanyong only needs to inform me of an accurate time in advance, and I will definitely arrive on time."
"Okay. "Okay, Rusong is indeed a good friend," Liu Shanyong said with satisfaction.
The gathering he is talking about is definitely not that simple. First of all, the so-called "entrepreneurs" attending the meeting are definitely going to publicly express their support for him in front of the media.
What do you support him for? Of course, we support him to use Enping District as his base to participate in the next parliamentary election.
So, how to support it? Is it just verbal support? That is definitely not possible. The entrepreneurs attending the meeting must provide operational support when necessary, such as providing him with campaign funds.
To put it bluntly, at a certain time, real money and silver need to be spent to support Liu Shanyong’s candidacy with practical actions.
For those entrepreneurs who participated in the meeting, when they chose to participate in this kind of symposium, they had already made their political stance clear. For An Rusong, the choice he has to make is actually relatively simple. After all, he has already boarded the boat of Representative Kong and Representative Liu. Even if he did not stand up for Liu Shanyong, others would have already done so. Know his position. Liu Shanyong didn't seem to expect that the meeting with An Rusong would go so smoothly. He seemed quite happy, and chatted with An Rusong for a while, mainly asking him if there was anything Enping needed in the subsequent development of NGN Company. Areas where the district office pays special attention to, such as whether there is demand for loans, whether there are policy demands, etc.
An Rusong responded to them one by one and behaved humbly and appropriately. He did not make any demands to the other party. After all, Liu Shanyong is only the district director of Enping District now. In terms of his personal ability, even if he really wants to help An Rusong, he probably does not have that much energy. In the final analysis , he still relies on his father’s energy.
However, An Rusong put forward some of his own opinions on the issue of investment promotion in Enping District. He believes that Enping District is close to Hannan Mountain and Han River, and it can be said to be a good place close to mountains and rivers. Therefore, , if you build an investment zone in such a place, it is best not to absorb those enterprises engaged in the real economy, such as this factory or that factory, so as not to have an impact on the environment of Enping District.
In addition, the two also talked about recent economic issues, such as the impact of the subprime mortgage crisis on South Korea, the drop in Samsung's stock price, and so on.
Just when the two were chatting happily, there was a sound of the door at the entrance, and a moment later, Nan Xuyu walked in.
"It seems that your discussion went smoothly," Nan Xuyu looked at the two of them when he walked into the living room and said with a smile, "How about it, do you want to have a drink to celebrate?"
Liu Shanyong glanced at him in surprise and said with a smile: "What Chief Nan wants to celebrate is probably not the matter between me and Ru Song, right?"
< br>Nan Xuyu chuckled, walked to a sofa, threw his fat body into the sofa, and said: "Prosecutor Gao Gaoxu has started an economic crime investigation into Damushan Group. In addition, Someone reported Liu Taihe and claimed that he was related to the Huapai gambling website that was popular on the Internet some time ago.”
"Oh, is there any actual evidence?" Liu Shanyong asked curiously.
"The reporter is anonymous," Nan Xuyu said calmly. "He submitted a large number of relevant videos to the prosecutor's office by mailing anonymous express mails, which is enough to prove Liu Taihe's crime."
An Rusong's eyelids jumped when he heard this. From the conversation between Nan Xuyu and Liu Shanyong, it was clear that Liu Shanyong didn't know much about Liu Taihe and Damushan Group. In addition, the "whistleblower" Nan Xuyu mentioned was probably Cha Sunxi, because that woman had been lurking around Liu Taihe before, and she had ample opportunities to secretly take photos of Liu Taihe and Huapai.com video.
However, what really worries An Rusong is that he doesn't know if he exists in those videos. Or, perhaps he does not exist in the videos currently submitted to the prosecutor's office, but Nan Xuyu and others have some videos in their hands that can prove that they are related to the Huapai network administrator.
If so, Nan Xuyu might be hinting at himself when he jumped out to talk to Liu Shanyong about these things, in order to make himself more honest.
These thoughts circulated in An Rusong's mind for several times, but there was no abnormality on his face.
"Then seize the time to investigate," Liu Shanyong said. "To be honest, if the old guy Liu Taimin hadn't died early, we wouldn't have let him go. If we treat this kind of traitor, if we don't give him the most With such a harsh response, others might think that we are too weak."
Nan Xuyu clasped his hands together, a faint smile flashed across his plump face, and he said: " The problem now is that it is easy to deal with people like Liu Taihe, but it is more troublesome to regain control of Damushan Group."
An Rusong understood this. Not only did they want to kill Liu Taihe, but they also wanted to control the entire Damushan Group after killing Liu Taihe, the heir to the Damushan Group. The so-called "eating them clean" was how they did it. Yes.
“What’s so difficult about this?” Liu Shanyong smiled and said, “Didn’t the Liu family have so many people competing for the inheritance before? We just need to find a puppet among them.”
