Historically, South Korea was really preparing for national bankruptcy in the midst of the Asian financial turmoil.

In desperation, the South Korean government could only apply for assistance from the IMF (International Monetary Fund) and fell into the financial trap laid by the United States step by step.

The IMF's condition is for South Korea to relinquish its economic autonomy and completely open up its financial markets.

The negotiations lasted for a long time, and the South Korean people were filled with indignation, and responded to the call to launch a donation campaign, and donated money and jewelry to the country, hoping to successfully overcome the crisis. However, the South Korean government eventually succumbed and became an economic colony of the United States.

In the world, blessings and misfortunes depend on each other.

Instead, South Korea's economy underwent a radical overhaul, and the new government came to power by dumping all unpopular policies on the IMF. For example, the legalization of dismissals, which could not be carried out before, can now be said to be forced by the IMF; for example, the unemployment rate is extremely high and a large number of companies go bankrupt, which can also be said to be the work of the IMF; and there are also some policies against the big chaebols, which were not approved in the past, but can now be implemented under the banner of the IMF.

Well, it's all the IMF's fault, and the South Korean government will never be wrong.

As a result, the South Korean people shifted their anger to the IMF, and even called the financial crisis the "IMF crisis". The patriotic fervor of the whole country is high, hungry, and the belt of trousers is tightly pressed to fight for an early escape from the economic colonization of the IMF.

In this way, South Korea's economic system has become healthier, many stubborn problems have been solved, and the national economy has recovered rapidly. On the contrary, it is the neighbor Japan, and all kinds of accumulated disadvantages are difficult to resolve, and the economic situation is becoming more and more lifeless.

However, the price South Korea has paid is that the national economy has been controlled by foreign investment.

In South Korea's banking sector, for example, more than half of the bank's shares are owned by foreign capital. First Bank of Korea, directly renamed as "Standard Chartered First Bank of Korea", is 100% controlled by Standard Chartered Group.

The loss of economic autonomy means that political autonomy has been completely degraded, and we can only obediently serve certain countries as little brothers, and the slightest resistance will be the end of changing the president.

……

After the gathering of the Golden Bull Club, Golden Bull Capital also got some investment.

From $300,000 to $1 million, other members of the Taurus Club wanted to make money with Song Weiyang, and raised funds to join the company without affecting the normal operation of the company. The funds controlled by Taurus Capital increased by more than $5 million in an instant, and the snowball became bigger and bigger.

Song Weiyang's ultimate goal is not to engage in financial speculation, but to engage in venture capital.

This is the easiest thing for a traverser to do.

Don't think about investing in ICQ, the founder's father is a venture capitalist, don't want to steal money from that dead old man.

But Google can invest in it, sell it before the Internet bubble comes, and make a profit of 10 times and 100 times in a minute. In the middle of the Internet bubble, buy back Google shares at the bottom, or buy NetEase shares by the way, and stay up for a year and a half and make ten times the profit.

Not only Google and NetEase, but also Tencent, Alibaba, and even Song Weiyang's own Sohu, he is ready to use Taurus Capital to invest, rather than using his pocket money to invest.

It seems that Song Weiyang has lost money, why should he pull in other partners when he is making money alone?

Quite simply, the more complex the share composition, the better.

With the continuous success of Taurus Capital, more and more enterprises, institutions and individuals will definitely join in, including domestic and foreign, both private and official. In this way, it can reduce the risks of unconventionality, such as the popularity of the powerful, such as the rejection of the West - the investor is not Song Weiyang alone, but many people, and the involvement is too large, and it is difficult for the other party to use off-market moves.

One day, if anyone wants to empty the gloves of the white wolf and extort Song Weiyang's assets, without Song Weiyang taking action himself, the partner behind him can let that guy drink a pot.

At night, Zhang Xuanlong found Song Weiyang and said, "How many Lenovo shares do you have left?"

"About 1% didn't sell. Song Weiyang said with a smile.

Zhang Xuanlong said: "I also invested a little, sold it all out, and made a little money." Alas, the integration of Beijing-Hong Kong Lenovo does not know when it will succeed. If you don't succeed, your stock will be lost. ”

"I believe in Mr. Liu's means. Song Weiyang said.

Mr. Liu has already opened up all the relationships, and he should have done integration at the beginning of the year. Who knew that Academician Ni complained everywhere, which attracted the attention of many officials, and Lenovo conducted several rounds of investigations, but until now it has been unable to inject capital into the port city.

As a result, Lenovo's stock price has fallen again, and it has fallen to a few cents a share.

If it weren't for Soros's imminent sniping of Hong Kong City, investing in Lenovo stocks now would have made a lot of money - in other words, Lenovo stocks were about to be broken by Song Weiyang.

After chatting with Zhang Xuanlong for a while, Song Weiyang went to Duan Yongping's room again to talk about cooperation.

Before making VCD machines, Duan Yongping's main business was backgammon cordless phones, and this year he has overturned UTStarcom and achieved the first performance in the country. Friends born in the 80s must still have the impression that it was an advertisement for a lewd man holding a phone and saying "Hey, Xiaoli".

BBK has its own accessories factory, which produces phone cases and other cooperative manufacturers. These can all cooperate with PHS, at least you can contact and negotiate first, anyway, there is no competition between cordless phones and PHS.

In this way, it was a group gathering during the day and a private exchange at night, and the members of the Taurus Club chatted lively.

Three days later, Song Weiyang, Song Qizhi and Chen Tao returned to Rongping City.

"How's the immortal wine?" Song Weiyang asked.

Song Qizhi said: "The beer business is developing rapidly, and it has monopolized the local market in Rongping and is developing towards surrounding cities and counties. There's a brewery in Sweet City that's about to collapse, and the acquisition has been negotiated, and it should be able to capture the beer market in Sweet City this summer. It's just that the liquor business has been shrinking, and there is no way to do it, the government restricts liquor production. Now a large number of liquor manufacturers across the country have died, and no one wants to give them away for free without taking debts, and if they take over, the products can't be sold. ”

Song Weiyang said: "Let's hold on first, and it will be fine in a few years." ”

"When do you think the government will be able to liberalize its policies?" Song Qizhi asked.

"Who can say for sure?" said Song Weiyang with a smile, "When food security is no longer a problem, it should be the time for baijiu to regain its life." ”

"It's hard. Song Qizhi sighed.

Song Weiyang asked, "By the way, how is the new Secretary Du?"

Song Qizhi said: "It's okay, it's decent and kind, but the hands and feet of relatives and friends are a little unclean." This person is here to make a fortune, and for the time being, he can live in peace with Mayor Huang, and he doesn't interfere too much in private enterprises. ”

"Well, if you don't violate your principles, try to satisfy him. Song Weiyang said.

Huang Yunsheng still failed to become a secretary after all, and at the end of last year, one was parachuted down from the province, which made our Mayor Huang depressed. Perhaps in order to appease his emotions, Huang Yunsheng's job titles have increased a few times, and the industry and agriculture in the city are all under his control.

Song Qizhi said: "There is gossip that Mayor Huang may be transferred away and go to another place to be a secretary. ”

"Whatever, see one step at a time, we are sitting tigers, not afraid. Song Weiyang said.

Song Qizhi said: "Dad will be released from prison next week, and I plan to give up the chairmanship of Xianjiu Group." ”

"Whatever you want. Song Weiyang said.

Under the relevant provisions of the "Constitution", Song Shumin's commutation has been reduced to the extreme, and it is illegal to commute it again.

Of course, with the current level of supervision, Song Shumin would have been able to come out a long time ago if he was released on medical parole. But there is no need, the Song family has rich financial resources and extensive connections, and Song Shumin is like a vacation in prison, and the single room he lives in is even equipped with air conditioning - by the way, the entire prison office is also sponsored with air conditioning.

Song Shumin himself also has the means, and he has a good relationship with the prison guards and prisoners when he is not short of money to spend.

Let's put it this way, there are a few so-called "big guys" on the road, who directly call Song Shumin "Brother Song", and they almost didn't pull Song Shumin to worship.

Money power, everywhere!
