Nanxian is a country controlled by conglomerates, and to put it bluntly, all of them have to listen to these big conglomerates.

There is only one possibility for foreign consortia to gain a foothold, and that is to be accepted by these consortia, or in other words, outsiders do not affect the interests of these local consortia, and can even bring greater benefits to them.

Yuanfang Group's key industries in Nanxian are currently placed in the game and entertainment circles, the game industry, Nanxian's great consortium is not deep enough, after all, even if it is Nanxian, the Internet has just started, the traditional big consortium has not yet fully entered, some of the new game companies are related to the consortium, but the problem is that the Internet is developing too rapidly, the market has been in the process of continuous expansion, and it is far from saturation, so the competition is there, but it is not fierce, and it is not to the extent of life and death。

In the entertainment industry, it is not the main battlefield of big conglomerates, their main positions are all the traditional fields that can affect the national economy, including news, TV stations, newspapers and other fields. Now the Yuanfang Group is just taking some share of the younger brother's domain, and for those chaebols, this loss is not even worth worrying about. On the other hand, what the Far Away Group can provide is amazing.

Not to mention anything else, just the operating system of a smartphone has made these big conglomerates lose their desire to oppose one by one.

Of course, Apple has also developed its own system, but it has to pay a lot of patent fees to the distant group every year, and the finished product of the system is also worse than the system of the distant mobile phone. Also, the newborn Android is a combination of the two systems of Android and IOS in the previous life, bringing together the advantages of both sides, if Apple can easily counterattack, then they will not be on an equal footing with Samsung in the international market in their previous life.

Smartphones, in the end, are still playing as a system.

The screen can be large or small, the camera can be dispensable, but the operation of the system is smooth, sensitive, compatible, etc...... But more than anything else.

Both Samsung and LG want to maintain a good cooperative relationship with Yuanfang Group, and the systems, glass screens and phone cases used in their mobile phones are all imported from China. The former is only available to the Yuanfang Group, including mobile phone glass, Corning's sales scope is only in North America, and out of North America, the sales of screen glass are the final say of the Yuanfang Group. As for the mobile phone shell, without it, the mobile phone shell produced by Huaxia is indeed much cheaper under the condition of the same quality.

Unconsciously, Yuanfang Group has choked the neck of more than half of the world's mobile phone manufacturers, either cooperating or going hard, but now who dares to do it with Yuanfang Group? Cooperation is the only choice.

In this case, if the Yuanfang Group wants to play the entertainment industry and video games here in Nanxian, it will not be deliberately embarrassed.

Not to mention, Yuanfang Group still holds part of Disney's shares, and it is said that MGM is also in contact, of course, not many people know about this news, but Samsung can know it, just because the boss behind them also has some entertainment industry in the United States. Yes, Samsung, a huge consortium that can control Nanxian, is actually just the younger brother of some consortiums in the United States. They support the younger brother, and then use this to control Nanxian, and then they can achieve some political, military, and economic goals, and their intentions are not sinister, but there is no way, these are all problems left over from history.

The former Nanxian authorities chose this path, so it is only natural that they should go to today.

And because of this relationship, the Samsung Li family more or less knows the layout of some distant groups in the United States. I don't know how I don't feel like it, but as soon as I figured it out, I felt a little frightened.

At present, Yuanfang Group owns shares in some enterprises in the United States through AL investment, including but not limited to: entertainment industry - Disney, Marvel, MGM, Yuanfang Films, and some other small film studios, but they have been acquired and are currently in a state of existence in name only. In terms of the Internet - Facebook and Twitter, both of which were built by Zhou Fangyuan himself, constantly diluting shares to release equity and arbitrage cash, now Zhou Fangyuan's shares are less than 10%, and he has withdrawn from the ranks of major shareholders, and AL still has about 15% in his hands, but since Zhou Fangyuan has not announced the relationship between the two, he can only be regarded as two shareholders. Even so, the shares of the two companies in Zhou Fangyuan's hands are worth more than a billion US dollars, and they are still improving, and no one can say how far they can grow.

Then there is the industrial aspect, Corning has Zhou Fangyuan's investment, at first only accounted for a part of the shares of Xiuao, but with the awakening of smartphones, he limited Corning's footsteps out of North America, and at the same time exchanged the right to use glass for more shares and greater discourse. Of course, this wave of operations is actually nothing, after all, there are too many cattle in this world, and the white wolf with empty gloves is not new, not to mention that Zhou Fangyuan still spent money on investment at the beginning, which is even less surprising

In other aspects, there are some sporadic investments, which are not big, but on the whole, they are already a big force.

In the past two years, Yuanfang Group has grown to such an extent so quietly, and it is enough to be amazed when you see these contents.

There is more news in other aspects, there is no need to read it, these contents are enough to strengthen the mind of the chaebols such as Samsung and the distant group, they are the little brothers of the United States, but they also have their own ideas, and in business, they are not completely willing to give the boss a blood transfusion, and they also want more development. Don't underestimate the smart phone, a small mobile phone, represents the future of communication, represents more information circulation, any ambitious large company, probably unwilling to give up this part. It's just that most large companies don't have this gene in the first place, and it's too difficult to start from scratch. Yuanfang Group took a loophole and seized the time point of alternating traditional mobile phones and smartphones to enter the market strongly, which turned the situation around in one fell swoop, and changed to other companies, and it was really too difficult and difficult to copy such a way.

And as long as it has the support of this chaebol, the Yuanfang Group will not say that it will go sideways in Nanxian, which is too exaggerated, but at least no one will jump out to embarrass them, other chaebols will not, and the Nanxian government is even more powerless.

It's really powerless.

To say that Nanxian is a chaebol-controlled country is definitely not a joke.

Namxian Chaebol has a special English word "Chaebol", which is a direct transliteration of the Korean word and means "clan with great wealth". The economic lifeline of Nanxian is in the hands of several major chaebols, represented by Samsung, many people directly call Nanxian the "Republic of Samsung", saying that Nanxian people cannot escape three things in their lives, "death, paying taxes and Samsung". From the beginning of Lee Byung-cheol's establishment of Samsung, to his son Lee Kun-hee, and then to his grandson Lee Jae-yong, three generations of Samsung have been punished, but their "luck" is also very good. In this country, it is no secret that the tradition of "integration of politics and business" and shady off-stage transactions are no secret.

Looking back at the "Han River miracle" of Namxian's economic rise, the chaebols played a large role, and at the same time, they grabbed most of the profits generated in the process of development. Although the incurable "chaebol disease" has caused a headache and annoyance to the people of Nanxian, the economic development of Nanxian has not been able to extricate itself from the chaebol system for a while. At a time when the economy of Nanxian cannot get rid of the "chaebol economy" as the foundation, the top task of the Nanxian government is obviously to boost economic development, and although the governance of the chaebol should not be slow, it should not be violent. Otherwise, the unbearable fatal blow will plunge the economy of Nanxian into a state of collapse.

In Nanxian, it is not uncommon for the owners of large and small businesses to act as intimidating their helpers or ordinary citizens.

For example, Lee Myung-hee, the wife of the chairman of Korean Air's Hanjin Group, once pushed and scolded construction workers and was questioned by the police. And her second daughter, Zhao Xianmin, was a party to the "Splashing Watergate" incident, abusing advertising agencies at a meeting, throwing water on people's faces, and being extremely arrogant. The occurrence of various events has made the people of Nanxian have no good impression of the chaebol family so far. However, most Nanxian people admit that the chaebol is a product of the era of economic development. As a late-developing country, Nanxian had to choose the road centered on the chaebol economy in order to develop its economy.

Some people may disagree with this, for example, Huaxia is the best example.

However, the difference between the two countries is too obvious, the Chinese culture is profound, the land is vast, the people are numerous, and the resources are abundant, which is not at all comparable to Nanxian. In addition, Nanxian is located in the Jedi of the peninsula, the north is the old enemy of the Northern Dynasty, and it is sandwiched between the two giants of Huaxia and the United States, its geographical location is destined to him, it is impossible to have his own autonomy, and he will always be controlled by one side, just see which side is more powerful.

In the 60s of the 20th century, Park Chung-hee staged a military coup and seized the supreme power in Namxian. When he first came to power, he also tried to crack down on the chaebols who monopolized the economy, and even adopted the method of confiscating property. The reason is that their wealth was illegally seized in collusion with the previous government. At that time, Nanxian's economy was in a vicious circle of "low investment, low production, and low income", with a per capita GDP of less than 100 US dollars, making it one of the most backward countries in the world at that time. Park Chung-hee soon discovered that coercive executive orders were weak in the face of countless small businesses, and that chaebols were an economic force to be harnessed. In the end, he had to release more than 90 percent of the entrepreneurs, but only on the condition that they cooperate with the government.

The chaebols who obey the government and faithfully implement its policies are often able to receive extremely preferential financial loans and subsidies.

In some industries, once the production license is obtained, it almost forms a market monopoly. Since then, the government, chaebols, and banks have gradually formed a close alliance, which has even been described as the "Devil's Triangle", and jointly created the "Han River Miracle" that has attracted worldwide attention. According to the data of the Nanxian Financial Supervision Institute, in 1989, the proportion of the top five chaebols in the GDP of Nanxian had risen to more than 60%, and the proportion of the top 30 chaebols in the GDP was as high as 95%.

In the process of Nanxian moving from weakness and poverty to growth and prosperity and creating the "miracle of the Han River", an atypical "mutual assistance" relationship of "sharing weal and woe, advancing and retreating together" was formed between the government and the chaebol. The relationship between the Namxian government and the chaebol during the Park Chung-hee era was basically in the form of a state-led chaebol, and the state was able to regulate the chaebol even though it supported the chaebol. After 1987, the democratically elected government of Namxian began to be gradually swayed by the chaebols, and the phenomenon of "iron-clad chaebols, flowing presidents" appeared, which belonged to the form of a chaebol-dominated state.

Among them, the power of the state was greatly weakened by the election of money and the separation of powers, and the head of state became an agent of monopoly capital.

Since the Asian financial crisis in 1997, the attitude of the Nanxian government towards chaebol enterprises has oscillated between regulation and cooperation, which can be seen as a form of interdependence between chaebols and the state, emphasizing the organic connection between state power intervention and market adaptation. However, in essence, this special "mutual assistance" relationship is actually a variant of the "collusion between officials and businessmen" model, which has laid the bane of "rich businessmen, corrupt officials", "chaebol dominance, and decline of the family and country" in some countries such as Nanxian.

The transformation of the major chaebols from the disadvantaged at the behest of authoritarian governments to the key players in control of the country's economic lifeline and the decline of democratic governments is reflected in the rhetoric of the "three-star empire". When the national economy transforms into a "chaebol economy", the government's ability to regulate and control the country's economy at the macro level will not be able to be demonstrated.

The widening gap between the rich and the poor, or the phenomenon of impoverishment, in Nanxian mainly began after the 1997 East Asian financial crisis, and was the result of a combination of various causes. In the aftermath of the crisis, there were massive layoffs in Nanxian enterprises, which led to a rapid rise in unemployment, and these unemployed were forced to enter low-income service industries or small and medium-sized enterprises.

In the years when chaebol assets have continued to swell, the average GDP growth rate of Nam Xian itself has slipped to less than 3%. In 2018, Nanxian's GDP growth rate was only 2.7%, a six-year low. However, there is no sign of solving the chronic problems of high household debt and underemployment of young people.

As a matter of fact, since Kim Yong-sam opened a new chapter in the "civilian-civilian government", successive Namxian governments have been committed to eliminating the drawback of the "chaebol economy" and the scourge of "chaebol politics" of "collusion between officials and businessmen".

During the period of Kim Dae-jung, taking advantage of the Asian financial crisis, he once took action to rectify the Nam Xian chaebol system, including the reform of the corporate governance system, the stricter information disclosure system, and the reform of the financial supervision system, and achieved certain results. However, the reality that the chaebol system has been deeply rooted in the marrow of Namxian has forced the Kim Dae-jung government and subsequent political strongman Roh Moo-hyun to be timid, looking ahead and looking backwards, and have never been able to come up with a feasible plan to get rid of the chaebols. Successive presidents of Nam Xian fell like dominoes, almost all of them were spared, and it was called the "Blue House curse".

Even the latest president before Choo Fang-won's rebirth was not without measures, and President Moon Jae-in's efforts to cut the chain of "collusion between officials and businessmen" centered on the "interference in politics" incident were also shattered by the lenient trial of Samsung Prince Lee Jae-yong. This is not so much the Moon Jae-in administration's net opening up to the chaebol economy, but rather the helplessness of the successive Namxian governments. Therefore, if you want to develop in Nanxian, it is useless to have a good relationship with the government, on the contrary, it is more important to have a good relationship with major consortia.

Therefore, on the third day of Zhou Fangyuan's visit to Nanxian, he received an invitation letter.

It was sent by the Li family of Samsung, and inviting Zhou Fangyuan to the banquet was the first step in the cooperation between Zhou Fangyuan and the Nanxian Foundation.
