Chapter 239 Three Presidents
Following Bai Jinjun all the way downstairs, the other party prompted An Rusong with three questions, including NGN's next development strategy; the difficulties the company faced during its development; and what kind of policy support it needed.
Well, regardless of Li Minbo's political stance, or whether his political methods are dirty and vicious, at least this guy's way of dealing with people is grand enough to make those who work for him feel more comfortable.
Previously, An Rusong used the pop-up window of NGN software to launch a volunteer action against oil spill pollution. At that time, this action was indeed taken away by Li Minbo's election team. An Rusong's status and role Marginalized, but in the final analysis, the person who directly took away this achievement was not Li Minbo or his campaign team, but Congressman Kong.
Now, Li Minbo invited An Rusong to meet, and the issue he planned to discuss was obviously to give An Rusong a certain reward, or at least a promise of reward. As an incoming president, if he can do this, he is already considered a very good leader. Can An Rusong raise higher requirements?
Thinking back to the past nearly half a year, An Rusong first worked for Shen Tai'an. The old man treated the people who worked for him like a tool; then he worked on the flower card website for Liu Taihe. In the eyes of Mr. Liu, he was not even a tool; later he followed Nan Xuyu to work for Councilor Kong, and the attitude of Nan Xuyu and Councilor Kong towards him was the attitude of superiors to subordinates. Sometimes it seems to be generous, but in fact it is very alienated.
In short, no matter who they are, these people have a distinctive feature when they treat An Rusong, that is, whenever they find An Rusong, they always tell him what to do, but never ask him what he needs. What, to put it bluntly, they only wanted to let An Rusong do things for them, but they never considered giving something of equal value to An Rusong.
Now, Li Minbo invited An Rusong to meet, and two of the three questions he focused on were actually asking An Rusong what he needed. This was a gesture, a pattern.
To be honest, An Rusong's impression of Li Minbo is definitely not good based on his past life. No, this is not a question of whether he is good or not, but whether he is bad.
In An Rusong's eyes, this guy who squinted at people all day long was like a wolverine, making people unconsciously want to stay away from him. The most important thing is that in the world of An Rusong's previous life, this guy's end was not very good. The story between him and President Wen Da has long been spread by people.
But now that he was reborn and had a chance to get along with the other party face to face, An Rusong discovered that if a person can successfully win the election of a country's president, there is always something special about him. At least his pattern is big enough and his personality His charisma is also strong enough, which cannot be matched by someone like Councilor Kong.
The room where Li Minbo rested was in a guest room downstairs from the executive lounge. After receiving Bai Jinjun's reminder, An Rusong carefully considered these three issues as he walked over.
In fact, it only took five or six minutes to walk this way, and it was impossible for An Rusong to consider these three issues too comprehensively. However, the moment Bai Jinjun knocked on the guest room door, An Rusong already knew what he should talk to Li Minbo.
The guest room used by Li Minbo was obviously a luxurious presidential suite. When An Rusong was brought into the living room, on the sofa in the living room, in addition to Li Minbo himself, there were two old people who looked very familiar.
Two old men sat on the sofa opposite Li Minbo. One of them had white hair, and the other was severely bald. An Rusong could recognize that the one with white hair was named Lu Taiyu, while the one with severe baldness was named "Quan Kaka".
That's right, in this living room with an area of only more than 40 square meters, there are actually three presidents of the Republic of Korea sitting at this moment, two of whom have resigned and one who is about to take office.
Speaking of which, both Lu Taiyu and Quan Kaka have left the presidential throne for too many years. Moreover, their reputations among Korean people are not too bad. They are not just street rats, but they are almost there.
But even so, no one dares to underestimate their status and influence in South Korean politics. As mentioned before, they are also a very important faction in the conservative camp headed by the Grand National Party. , the so-called Five Communist factions are actually led by them.
The most important thing is that almost all members of the "Five Communist Factions" come from the military, and their influence in the military is inestimable to ordinary people. Take Quan Kaka as an example. His reputation among Korean people is very bad, especially in Gwangju. No one dares to say good things about him publicly.
However, within the South Korean military system, Quan Kaka is a very special existence, because in the history of the Korean army, only during the period when Quan Kaka was in power, the treatment of soldiers was the best.
Moreover, Quan Kaka has a very strong personal charm. In his team, he really has the style of charging ahead and enjoying himself. To use an old Beijing proverb to describe it, it is "the atmosphere of the situation."
Therefore, even now, Quan and Lu still have a strong influence in South Korea's political circles. Yes, historically speaking, South Korea's true democratization began when Kim Yong-sam came to power in 1993 and promoted the so-called "civilian government." Before that, whether it was President Park, or the subsequent Jeon Kaka, Lu Taiyu, in fact, should be regarded as a military government.
The progressive faction in South Korea's political arena today is actually made up of those who overthrew the military government, while the so-called conservatives can be seen as being made up of the old and young remnants of the military government. The opposition between conservatives and progressives is not only based on political stances, but also on historical reasons.
In the past few years, to be precise, from 1993 to 2007, South Korea's political leadership has been completely in the hands of the progressives, and the slogans and programs used by the progressives are also democratization. A set of rhetoric, such as "civilian government", "people's government", "participatory government", etc.
We have to admit that in the first few years after the end of the military rule and the realization of direct presidential election, the public support controlled by the progressives was indeed very high. For a long period of time, the conservatives simply could not take the lead. On some historical issues, such as the characterization of the "5.18" incident, conservatives have to make compromises with progressives.
During this period, as the President of the Fifth Republic and the President of the Sixth Republic, Quan Kaka and Lu Taiyu had to accept the trial of the progressives. Among them, Quan Kaka was even sentenced to death. In the end, he had to Through some political compromises, amnesty was obtained from the progressive side.
But a very bad fact is that most of the progressives who emerged in the movement against the military government are lawyers, and some are from the student movement. The former do not understand economics, and most of the latter have been in jail. Despite his reputation and qualifications, his own cultural quality is not high, and he is also not good at economics.
Therefore, in the fourteen years after the realization of democratization, South Korea's economic development was slow. During this period, it also experienced an Asian financial crisis. The entire South Korean economy went bankrupt, and it can be said that the whole country was filled with disasters.
Correspondingly, it is the rapid development of South Korea's economy during the former military government. There was the "Miracle on the Han River" during President Park's period, and the national income quadrupled during the Quan Kaka period. By comparison, in South Korea Among the people, especially the middle-aged and elderly people, it is natural that some people will begin to miss the past scenery of Korea.
After all, to be honest, for ordinary people, there is actually no difference whether it is a military government or a so-called democratically elected government. The only ones who can really feel the difference are those with political ambitions, and for a country, The overwhelming majority are always ordinary people who are ignorant about everything.
Now, as time goes by, these ordinary people feel the pressure exerted by the economic downturn on themselves, so they begin to shift their attention from the democratization side to the economic side. This is also the progress in the past two years. The most direct reason for the continued decline in public support for the Party.

Take a look at what slogan Li Minbo used during this presidential election? That's right, he no longer talks about democratization, but talks about pragmatism, shifting the main direction of governance to the economic field, and adopting a vague attitude towards historical issues. His election also shows that today's Koreans no longer care about the issue of democratization or non-democratization. They are more concerned about the economy.
Under this circumstance, after Li Minbo came to power, he would definitely consider the economy as a key point. At the same time, he would also give some past progressives qualitative historical issues against the background of a vague view of history. Then he came over to Banzheng secretly, and this was the main reason why Quan Kaka, Lu Taiyu and other old and young people supported him.
Li Minbo's meeting with Quan and Lu was obviously coming to an end. When he saw An Rusong being led in by Bai Jinjun, he took off his eyes and wiped them with a piece of glasses cloth. As he stood up from the sofa, he said: "Okay, my little guest is here, Mr. Rihai, Mr. Yongtang, let me introduce him to you."
As he spoke, he waved to An Rusong with a smile and said, "Rusong, come here."
An Rusong hurriedly took a few steps forward and approached him.
"This is the president of NGN Company, An Rusong, Chairman An," Li Minbo looked very kind. He reached out and patted An Rusong's forearm and said, "During this period, in order to deal with the Yellow Sea The large-scale volunteer action launched in response to the oil spill was spearheaded by Ru Song. He really helped me a lot.”
