A week later.

"OPPA, did you miss me?" Yuna finally came back from Jeju Island, and it was an early morning plane, and when she saw Park Ji-hoon, she pounced directly on the latter, and asked excitedly.

Finally home, of course happy.

I don't know when it started, she also seems to have developed the habit of always wanting to go home early as long as she is away from home for too long, and she was infected by Taeyeon and Park Min-ah?

Standard characteristics of otaku and otaku!

The important thing is that she misses Park Ji-hoon!

It's not the kind of pestering character that can't stand after a day or two of separation, but more than a week is enough to arouse her thoughts. What's more, there are competitors in it.

"I think about it every day!" Park Ji-hoon replied with a smile as he kissed her.

"OPPA, what are you going to do?" Yuna smiled with satisfaction, looked at him, and saw that he was dressed in a formal suit, looking like he was about to go out, and couldn't help but ask curiously.

"There's a meeting. Park Ji-hoon straightened his clothes and replied.

"Meeting?" Yuna looked surprised.

He doesn't like to attend meetings, and even when he does hold his own, he tries to keep them as short as possible. Events such as summits and economic conferences are attended by the heads of companies, and even film festivals are rarely attended these days.

"Well, an economic meeting convened by the Ministry of Strategy and Finance. Park Ji-hoon rubbed her head and prepared to go.

Kim Dong-yeon, Vice Prime Minister and Minister of Strategy and Finance, personally presided over the meeting.

In fact, in South Korea, occupations nominated by the president, such as prime minister, attorney general, and justice minister, do not have to be of much concern to powerful chaebols and political forces. Because these positions are all nominated by the president, they were often presidents, professors and other professions before, which lack foundation and can easily be vacated or attacked and ousted.

However, this meeting is in his interests, and after all, the deputy prime minister is personally convening it, and he is ready to listen to it.

After graduating from the Graduate School of Administration of Seoul National University, he won a national scholarship and a Fulbright scholarship from the U.S. government, studied at the University of Michigan in the United States, and obtained a master's and doctorate degree in policy. Prior to the nomination of the vice prime minister, he was the president of Ajou University in South Korea.

He advocated "breaking the old and creating the new".

The theme of the conference was "Transformation of the Economic Model".

. The year before last, W Group had already been assessed as a "chaebol" by the Fair Trade Commission.

But. W Group is a standard emerging chaebol, which has been established for less than 10 years, and has fought hard to come out!. The emergence and growth of W will definitely squeeze out the interests of the old chaebol, especially in the fields of culture and entertainment, retail, and logistics, and the competition between them is very fierce.

Some time ago. The collision between W and SK is because of the territory of the entertainment industry.

Today's. W Entertainment is already the overlord of the entertainment industry, and CJ Entertainment has also been suppressed, so naturally it does not allow others to challenge its status.

Any business that reaches this stage will do so because there is no other choice!

In the retail market, competition with Lotte Department Store and Shinsegae is also becoming more and more intense.

On the contrary, because of the e-commerce platform, technology and financial strength, the logistics field has already knocked down a number of competitors.

The domestic market is so big, and the emergence of a large group must represent the decline of other markets, the encroachment of interests, and the inevitable competition.

Therefore, obviously hostile to the chaebol, Kim Dong-yeon still invited him to attend this meeting.

It is a very simple means to use his hand to fight the old chaebols and provoke internal struggles between the chaebols.

And he did not refuse, and he did not mean to use the official hand to fight competitors. The limited means of the official approach to the chaebol is due to the fact that many of the people inside are chaebol people, and there are too many rules and regulations to follow, while he, who is also a chaebol, does not have so many concerns. Besides, he is only competing economically, and he has no idea of exterminating the other party and sending him to prison, and in this regard, there is still a tacit understanding between the chaebols.

The venue of the meeting was at the Government Complex Building in Sejong-ro.

When Park Ji-hoon arrived, a number of key officials of the Ministry of Planning and Finance, including Kim Dong-yeon, as well as some economics professors and aides, had already arrived first.

It's not that he deliberately fell last, but he doesn't like to wait for people, so he almost arrived in time.

"Huh!" When the staff led him into the conference room, a group of people came over to look at him.

Among the people whose youngest age is 40 years old and above, his face is too young. What's more, if he hadn't deliberately dressed up maturely, some people would believe his face when he said he was 20 years old.

Many people are seeing him for the first time.

Even for those of them who are in high positions and even often go in and out of the Blue House, it is not so easy to meet Park Ji-hoon, and it is not even as convenient as an artist in the entertainment industry.

"Chairman Park Ji-hoon, welcome!" Kim Dong-yeon personally stepped forward to greet him.

He is polite, slightly chubby, wears glasses, and has short and parted hair, which does not give people the feeling of being domineering and difficult to touch.

"Hello, Chief Kim Dong-yeon. Park Ji-hoon took two quick steps and took the initiative to shake hands with the other party.

Nowadays, he is not as arrogant and extreme as he was when he was young, and under normal circumstances, he is very willing to give the other party.

After introducing him to several major officials and economics professors, Kim Dong-yeon invited him to take a seat at the top of the table.

It seemed to be waiting for him.

After a few brief pleasantries, the meeting officially began.

"South Korea's economy urgently needs to break the old and create a new!" Kim Dong-yeon said in the first sentence.

He then cited the examples of figure skating and sprinting to illustrate that "innovation continues to refresh Olympic results, and economic development also needs innovation".

Park Ji-hoon raised his eyebrows slightly.

Really.

It will not really reveal to him the government's reform plan, it will be more of a lecture than a seminar.

Inviting him to come, it is estimated that there are also ideas to try to convince him to cooperate.

"From $104 in GNI (gross national income per capita) in 1968 to $29,200 in GNI in 2017, our economy has grown nearly 300-fold over a 40-year period, and GNI is expected to enter the $30,000 era in 2018. As incomes increase, national satisfaction with the quality of life should increase. However, the quality of life of our people is still stuck in the era of $20,000 GNI. ”

"Therefore, to improve the quality of life, there is a need to increase the potential for economic growth. Throughout the course of South Korea's economic development, the South Korean economy grew at an annual rate of 0.08% in 1975~1995, and declined at an annual rate of 0.26% from 1995~2015......"

"We lack innovative talents, just like traditional Korean sweets, carved out of a mold and without personality. The United States has Google driverless technology and IBM personalized medical care, China has drones, Germany has smart factories, and Japan has robots...... What technology do we have? I can't see where our future industry is. Compared with China and the United States, Koreans are reluctant to innovate and start businesses and are afraid of failure, so we need to innovate in all aspects. ”

"It is the lack of solidification and innovation of the rich and poor strata, and the road to the bottom is disappearing!"

The theme is an economic conference, but it's not just an economic conference.

Kim Dong-yeon put forward "three strategies and two foundations to support economic transformation", that is, relying on the three strategies of income-led, innovative growth, and just economy, as well as macroeconomic stability and medium- and long-term response.

In addition, in order to further innovate the ecosystem, the Korean government will provide 1 billion won in startup funds to create a secure network and reduce entrepreneurial risks.

This is also one of the main reasons for inviting Park Ji-hoon to participate.

Although his company seems to have little technical content, in fact, it is the opposite, and everyone knows his support for technology and innovation!

Just take the . As far as W's own brand is concerned, the raw materials of many products are built by himself abroad and planted raw materials, while he chooses to cooperate with farmers and small and medium-sized enterprises in China, which makes his reputation at the bottom very good.

Kim Dong-yeon hopes that he can give some support in starting a business.

The government's funds are limited, and every time it comes to spending, it's the same as fighting a war, so it took a lot of money to pull out 1 billion won.

But the problem is that this amount of money doesn't have a decent effect at all.

Park Ji-hoon had no problem with this, and nodded without hesitation.

However, instead of sending money to the government's startup fund, but. W will set up a separate venture fund.
