CHAPTER XVIII

Although everything is dominated by so-jin and her daughter at the moment, of course it is impossible for Ahn Jun-hyuk to spend all the time with them, and after another day, according to the observation of the hospital, it was determined that so-jin and Jing-yeon were in good physical condition, and Ahn Jun-hyuk walked out of the hospital and held a banquet in the hotel to wash the dust for everyone who came to visit.

As the legitimate armed force of the J.H group, J.H. Security, which is in charge of Jeon Byung-kook, has been working hard for many days since it was approved by Congress, and is now gradually taking over the security management of some US military bases in South Korea entrusted by Congress from a Canadian security company.

The handover of work was not troublesome, but it was not smooth, and the dismantling of US military bases in South Korea has been slow for months, and the promises made by the Democratic Party after its victory in the midterm elections have naturally been resisted by the military, not because of how much nostalgia South Korea has given to the 20,000 troops, but because for the generals who have been sent to other countries, every combat facility that has been dismantled is equivalent to killing a chicken that lays golden eggs in front of their eyes.

The hustle and bustle of the world is all for profit, and the world is bustling, all for profit!

The chaos of law and order at the garrison base is not without the connivance of the generals, and among these interests is also the question of the ownership of the contract for assistance in security.

In the past two years, due to the frequent terrorist attacks in Iraq, the security companies under the South Korean security market have signed lucrative security contracts with most of the domestic energy and construction companies, and these companies have oilfield development business and post-war reconstruction business. In Baghdad, where law and order are deteriorating, bodyguards who are obviously from their home country are even more reassuring to the "owners" who go abroad to preside over the work.

J.H's security competitors in the fight for the security management of bases in South Korea are mainly from the United States, Canada, Australia and other places, and J.H has agents in the South Korean military, and the other party naturally has agents in the US military.

In the past few months since the signing of the security agreement, Congress has often received protests from the US side about the fairness of the security agreement, and some members of Congress have submitted proposals on more than one occasion to review J.H.'s security qualifications, although they have not passed. But these messy things. It directly affected J.H.'s application for a safe firearm permit.

"According to you, the company originally planned to obtain a license to carry firearms this year, but now it seems that there is no way. ”

The palatial dinner hall is a private dinner. Dressed in casual attire, Quan Bingguo took a puff on his cigar. The flame of the cigarette butt is extinguished. He said with a puff of smoke, saying that there was no way, but his expression was very pleasant.

Ahn Joon-hyuk smiled and took a sip of wine.

Application for a permit to carry a firearm. The main reason is to open up overseas markets, and last year, Saddam Hussein was executed by the United States, and the opposition of the Islamic world circles was once strong, and the situation in the Middle East was also in the process of deteriorating.

There are many companies in South Korea that have energy business in the Middle East, the more unstable the situation in the Middle East, the more these customers need a sense of security, and the stronger the security market demand.

Later, he borrowed chickens to lay eggs and dismantled the preservation money paid by Congress to J.H Entertainment, but he just unintentionally inserted willows.

After thinking about it, he suddenly asked, "If the license is issued, what guns can be transported?"

Chun Byung-kook is not very good at business, but he is not ignorant of the business he is interested in, and when he heard Ahn Jun-hyuk ask, without thinking, he replied: "The standard is light weapons, our main target is the Iraqi market, if there is a license, the standard configuration should be a combination of automatic rifle and 12.7 mm caliber light machine gun." ”

"M16?" Ahn Jun-hyuk remembered that when he was in the army, he used the gun clan the most.

"AK! cheap, durable, easy to resupply. Quan Bingguo smiled, the thick cigar was smoking from his fingers, and Quan Bingguo felt that he was very stylish now.

Two years ago, he could not have imagined that he would one day sit in such a banquet hall and talk to people about such topics, and at that time, he was accompanied by nothing but pastures and pastures, and he was full of horses.

What he liked was the smell of iron and fire mixed with engine oil and gunpowder, and the life under the fence of galloping horses and picking chrysanthemums was not for him.

Being able to legally transport guns is naturally very beneficial to the development of business, An Junhyuk thought for a moment, then nodded and responded: "I will follow up on this matter, but you have to pay close attention to the possible movements of the Congress, and withstand the pressure if necessary!"

This is talking about the loan loan, the South Korean Ministry of Finance paid J.H Security, most of the money lent to J.H Entertainment to acquire Gmarket, now that the acquisition has been completed, the money has been spent, and there is no way to fill this hole for the time being, if the National Assembly can't withstand the pressure and demand an investigation into J.H Security, then the problem will be big.

Quan Bingguo's expression immediately became more serious, and he nodded, signaling that he understood.

During this time in Japan, a lot of things have been accumulated, and after talking with Jeon Byung-kook for a while, as soon as he heard about the work of the security company, Park Young-jun also took the time to evacuate from the dining table and came over.

Zhiyun said that J.H Entertainment has accumulated more work, and Jeon Byung-kook said goodbye and left, and when he was far away, Park Young-jun sat down on the sofa opposite Ahn Joon-hyuk, waved his hand and motioned to the waiter to bring him a glass of wine, and as soon as the words came out, he sighed.

"What's the matter, the work is not going well?" Ahn Junhyuk asked with a smile when he heard him sigh.

"Alas!" Park Yingjun shook his head, and after a while, he spread his hands with a wry smile: "You have not been in the country, and recently I feel more and more that I am not capable." ”

"Oh?

"What else can I say, because I don't understand. Park Young-joon said in a somewhat bitter tone, it is undeniable that Ahn Joon-hyuk was indeed very excited when he first arranged for J.H Entertainment to acquire Gmarket. Needless to say, Gmarket's assets are still a giant for J.H Entertainment, even if the valuation has shrunk due to the privatization and delisting of this acquisition.

But it wasn't until the acquisition was completed and he really took control of the behemoth that he realized that it was not all good to be small and big, and it was more likely to cause a lot of trouble.

As soon as Gmarket was merged into J.H Entertainment, Park Young-joon found that his ability was not enough to control the big ship, he had never been in charge of a business with more than 200 people, but personnel problems made him anxious, and then he had to report to Ahn Jung-hyuk with a shameless face, and then Ahn Jung-hyuk transferred Kim Jung-wook to be his deputy - saying that he was a deputy, in fact, he was more like a teacher.

After all, J.H Entertainment is an entertainment company, although its chairman An Junhyuk is an Internet upstart that has caused a sensation in Silicon Valley, but it is an indisputable fact that there is no intersection between the original business and the Internet industry.

Even Park Yingjun himself often worries, he himself knows the Tao, he doesn't understand the Internet industry at all, he doesn't understand what Gmarket is so valuable, what is C2C He also found out later when he checked the information, he didn't know why Gmarket occupies the leading position in C2C in South Korea, and he doesn't know what advantages Gmarket has in the face of other competitors, let alone formulate the next development plan.

It was a completely unfamiliar field, confused and at a loss, and it was only then that he understood why Ahn Joon-hyuk had agreed to the request of the Ministry of Information and Communications and the Ministry of Commerce, Industry and Energy to promise not to rectify Gamrket's existing operating model - he was still dissatisfied with this clause at the beginning, and the acquisition, purge, and restructuring should be the standard procedure, and now he found out that this shackle, which was originally thought to limit his play, just saved the follow-up of the entire acquisition operation.

The monitoring team dispatched by the Ministry of Information and Communications and the Ministry of Commerce, Industry and Energy supervised J.H Entertainment's takeover of Gmarket very strictly, which fundamentally eliminated the opportunity for him to make mistakes.

Ahn Junhyuk just smiled at the bitterness he showed: "If you don't understand, you can learn! No one is born to know, I promised the Ministry of Information and Communications not to rectify Gmarket's requirements, which is to leave you room to adapt, at least in the period I promised, no one outside can attack you on the pretext that you don't understand e-commerce, what you have to do is to recharge." ”

Hearing Ahn Joon-hyuk say this, Park Young-joon secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

During this period of time, he has been under great pressure, and this time he took the initiative to "complain", admitting that he was inadequate, and also had some taste of frankness and leniency.

Since he heard that Ahn Jun-hyuk didn't mean to investigate, he was relieved, "Yes, it's to recharge, when Jung-wook left some time ago, I entrusted him to help find a training class in the United States, not to be proficient, at least when I attended the meeting, I could understand the report and the plan." ”

"It's good that you have that mentality. Ahn Joon-hyuk nodded, and didn't seem to hear the implication that Park Young-joon's words vaguely revealed that he was trying to repair relations with his colleagues, "Acquisition of Gmarket, I have a mature future plan, and your task is to familiarize yourself with this job within the period of maintaining the original model, of course, the entertainment business cannot be relaxed." ”

"Hehe, I'm already familiar with the entertainment business, how dare I give up my strengths. Park Yingjun said with a smile, "The company's corresponding production plan has begun, and several low-cost horror films are expected to be based on the family video market in the summer......"

J.H Entertainment's 2007 production plan was a bit conservative, and the main goal was only to target the home video market, but after all, J.H Entertainment lacked the foundation, and a "King's Man" just made a sign, and it is undoubtedly a fool's dream to immediately compete with CJ and ShowBox for the dominance of the big screen.

In the development of the company, sometimes it is necessary to make great strides and give full play to the psychology of gamblers, and sometimes it is necessary to be cautious and take steps forward. (To be continued......)
