1713 Pros and Cons of Colonial Franchises

In Xiao Letian's previous life, most of people's impressions of South Korea are the Asian Four Little Tigers, Korean dramas, kimchi, Samsung, Daewoo, plastic surgery, ...... and so on, but there is no concept of poverty in all of them. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

In fact, this is not the case in history, after the end of the Korean War, South Korea was very poor for a time, and what concept is it so poor? It is not as good as North Korea in the north.

It may seem strange to those who don't know that history, but this is an undeniable historical fact, in the sixties and seventies, North Korea's economy completely crushed South Korea and even matched Japan.

Because Kim Il Sung of that era was more long-sleeved and good at dancing, balancing between China and the Soviet Union, and even taking advantage of the contradictions between the two big brothers, mainly the contradictions of the Khrushchev period, to speculate.

He will come to China for a spinning factory, and when he goes back, he will ask the Soviet Union for a wireless equipment factory, and the day after tomorrow he will come back to Czechoslovakia and other countries in Eastern Europe to ask for a few livestock farms.

At that time, the socialist camp was extremely particular about brotherhood, and whoever was thick-skinned in this camp would be able to cry poor and generally get some milk to drink.

At that time, the development of heavy industry in North Korea was average, but the development of light industry was really very good, and the most obvious manifestation of the development of light industry was that the supply of goods related to people's lives in society was sufficient, and the degree of social affluence was naturally high.

At that time, North Korea's per capita GDP even surpassed that of China.

On the other hand, at that time, South Korea had just passed the Great War, and there were no resources in the southern part of the Korean Peninsula, while the American and European camps paid attention to capitalism and followed market rules, and would not help small countries like the socialist camp, so South Korea had a very bad time at that time.

Agriculture basically could not solve the problem of food and clothing, heavy industry was scarce, light industry was half-dead, and until 1980, South Korea's economy was no match for North Korea.

At that time, there were a very large number of low-level poor people in South Korea who longed for life in the north, and North Korea once exported the revolution in South Korea very successfully, and there were countless demonstrations.

South Korea finally relied on the miracle of Jianghan to officially rise, and it is ridiculous to say that South Korea's economic rise has nothing to do with any freedom and democracy, and South Korea originally relied on the power politics of the military junta.

In 1961, Park Chung-hee came to power in a military coup, and this person was Park Geun-hye's father.

After Park Chung-hee came to power, he first suppressed dissidents, cut off the members of the student movement at that time, and finally consolidated his position as a military government, and at the same time grasped the executive, legislative, and judicial powers, established the Military Revolutionary Committee, and finally formed his own dictatorship.

It is worth mentioning that such an authoritarian government that came to power in a coup d'état was finally recognized by Europe and the United States, and the relationship has always been very good.

History has taught us that the opportunity for South Korea's economic take-off is centralization, not so-called democracy, relying on the dictatorship of the military junta, not fantasy freedom.

After Park Chung-hee came to power, he began to implement a five-year plan to learn from the socialist countries, the most unique of which was the monopoly of colonization, which merged many small enterprises together, supported them with limited state revenues, and expanded them regardless of the cost.

Externally absorbing foreign capital from Japan, the United States, and Europe, and carrying out strong mergers at home, the state resources are completely tilted towards those large group enterprises, while non-governmental enterprises do not receive a certain amount of financial support.

Until 1996, for more than 30 years, South Korea formed a total of 12 large industrial groups, including Samsung, Daewoo, SK, Hyundai, POSCO, and KEPC...... Wait a minute.

Park Chung-hee was assassinated in 1979, but his administration changed the fortunes of South Korea, and he brought down the status of the Asian Tigers.

Of course, there is a big downside to such a policy, that is, there will inevitably be chaebol politics, and when Park Chung-hee died, successive South Korean leaders lost control of these mega-corporations.

Chaebol politics has completely kidnapped South Korea, politicians have to act according to the faces of the corporations, the entire national economy is coerced by a very small number of people, and the people have only been given nominal freedom.

It is also pitiful to say that South Korea is a country that preaches so-called freedom and democracy to the outside world, but in fact, the people have never been truly free.

During the Ming and Qing dynasties, it was a feudal state, and during the Japanese occupation, they were inferior nationals, and after World War II, they were liberated, and as a result, they split into two countries and started a civil war.

North Korea in the north is in the same way as the whole family, while South Korea in the south is confronted with the military junta and then chaebol politics, and the people cannot change anything at all.

Some people say that the president is all elected by the people, but under the plutocratic politics, the president is just a puppet, and the small elite who hold the shares of the consortium are not elected by the people with their votes.

Votes can't solve the problem of equity and ownership within the consortium, you can impeach a president from power, but you can't impeach any monopoly chaebol, and even all your income is controlled by these consortiums, if you offend them, your life is doomed to end in tragedy.

No job, no income, marginalized in society...... The abundance and variety of punishments make the population shudder. Therefore, in South Korea, you can see the roar of the collapse of the president's government, but you will never hear the cry for the collapse of Samsung and the collapse of Hyundai.

The reason is very simple, the common people still expect these big enterprises to pay their salaries, and they rely on the charity of these chaebols for food, clothing, and houses around them.

It was precisely because Xiao Lotian saw the future results of the monopoly system that he would never dare to implement such a system in the Ryukyus, in Nanyang, and in other areas of the Chinese community.

But the Far East is an exception, and Xiao Letian can't think of a better system than this system after thinking about it for a long time, for no other reason than because the Far East is too poor and barren, and even the population is not enough.

If you don't use this monopoly system to concentrate limited resources, you won't be able to solve the fundamental problem at all, and when there is no other way to go, the only feasible path is left, even if it is full of thorns, and people have to move forward.

"Fortunately, only the Far East is used as a pilot, and fortunately, other parts of the Chinese still have the ability to restrain here, and I hope that under such constraints, those big trusts who started by monopoly will be so ugly to eat!"

Xiao Letian had palpitations, but he had to send the arrow on the string, before the Far East War, he had promised this system to many Chinese giant businessmen, and he also got the support of those giant businessmen.

People can't do it without faith, and now they can only pinch their noses and move forward.

Just when Xiao Lotian led Zaichun to rush to Ningguta City, martial law was unexpectedly imposed on the dock of Naha.

Note: In this chapter, the miracle of the Gang-Han created by Park Chung-hee is written, but at the end I would like to remind you that Park Chung-hee and China have a deep blood feud.

Born in 1917, when Korea had been annexed by Japan, he was a child born during the Japanese occupation, received a Japanese education from an early age, and finally graduated from the Japanese Kwantung Army Non-commissioned Officer School, and finally participated in the war of aggression against China.

His main area of activity was in the puppet state of Manchukuo and the northern part of Zhili, and during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression he slaughtered many Chinese soldiers and civilians, which can be said to be a lot of blood debts, and even assassinated Soviet liaison officers after the war.

This man was said to be even more belligerent than the Japanese, and after the emperor issued the order for unconditional surrender, his troops refused to carry out the emperor's orders and continued to fight, and finally appeared to be arrested by the military commanders and repatriated.

Ay...... Military commanders really shouldn't be merciful!
