Chapter 35: The Afterlife I
Chaebol!
Since the miraculous rise of the Han River in the Park Chung-hee era, these two words have been the shackles on the heads of all South Koreans, and over the decades, their tentacles have extended to all aspects, from light industry to heavy industry, from food to department stores, from electronic communications to shipping, from energy to agricultural and sideline products...... The chaebol is like a strain of bacteria, parasitic on this peninsula, constantly sucking nutrients, dividing, spreading, and spreading endlessly.
Roh Moo-hyun has come to this point without the role of the chaebol behind it, or in other words, the history of South Korea's development is the history of the evolution of the chaebol, and everything cannot avoid their influence.
When Roh Moo-hyun launched the slogan of reforming the chaebol economy, the prestige was unmatched, the chaebol avoided its edge and died down, but that does not mean that they will be completely silent and passive, and now, as the election date is approaching, the time for the poor dagger is coming, both sides have sharpened their knives, fighting for survival and death, in this case, the political turmoil has swept through, and it is a matter of course that J.H is affected by the pond fish.
After returning and carefully checking the progress of the negotiations, Ahn Jun-hyuk realized that SK did not have the same intention when he instructed to delay the negotiation process.
His plan is to use himself as a nail to nail the pan-Thai cake, while SK is to use the advantage of information acquisition to set its sights on the political level and wait for the general trend to come.
A few months ago, Ahn Joon-hyuk took advantage of the government's intention to suppress the chaebols, and took advantage of the constraints of SK's political resources to pull the two sides on the same level and win a small game. Now, a few months later, SK is fighting back in the same way.
At that time, SK was powerless, and today's J.H. is helpless!
In the end, the only conclusion about the negotiation was to admit defeat, and it didn't take long for Kim Jung-wook to put aside his worries for the time being, say goodbye and leave, and he was quite excited when he left.
Ahn Joon-hyuk revealed to him a little about the general plan of the game company he will work in in the future, which is different from what he had imagined before. Ahn Joon-hyuk doesn't just want to be a pure game publishing company. Instead, focus on the Internet as a whole.
This goal can be seen in the naming of the new company - J.H Network!
"I tentatively assign you to the number one in the new company, Luo Shengjun xi assists you in your work, and the traditional online game production and distribution can be handed over to Luo Shengjun xi. Wait until the negotiation is over. You come with me to the United States. I've already assigned you a position on Facebook, and I'll give you 5 months to get on good terms with them. Set up a shelf, and the focus of the J.H network will be on Facebook in the future!"
This is what Ahn Joon-hyuk said to him before leaving.
Kim Jung-wook also knows something about Facebook, where his boss is the CEO, and when he talked before, he also heard Ahn Jun-hyuk say that he is preparing to build an application market platform on Facebook, which seems to be trying to open up the majority of the website's revenue from the app and subcontract it to third-party developers.
Jin Zhengxu doesn't quite understand the significance of such an open platform, under normal circumstances, the website is to grasp the application service tightly in their own hands, rather than giving the cake to others.
He also thought about whether Ahn Junhyuk promoted the opening of the platform with public and private intentions in it - just like now, Ahn Junhyuk arranged for him to go to Facebook to observe and learn, which must be the purpose of becoming the first batch of beneficiaries after the platform is opened.
But whether the so-called open platform can succeed or not is another matter, and the number of users of Facebook itself is not enough to bring much profit, and Ahn Jun-hyuk has no reason to risk this uncertain value, after all, he is the CEO elected by shareholders, and if his actions damage Facebook, shareholders also have the right to remove him.
However, although there are many questions, it still does not hinder Kim Jung-wook's good mood, he is now only the third-in-command of J.H Entertainment, only responsible for specific implementation, in addition to Ahn Jun-hyuk, there is also President Park Young-joon, as a one-person joint-stock company, if the board of directors is not established for a day, he can only be an echo worm for a day, and the furrow in his chest cannot be used, as a former CEO, such a day is undoubtedly a bit tormenting, and the desire to be independent has never been broken.
Now there is hope, and nature is full of motivation.
In the evening, Park Young-joon held a management meeting at J.H Entertainment to discuss the selection of scripts, investment in production, and the launch of a trainee training program.
"Hello President Kwon......"
"Good afternoon, President Kwon ......"
"Hello, President Kim seems to be in good spirits today......"
Rushed to J.H Entertainment and walked into the conference room, the executives who had already sat down inside saw him, and hurriedly got up to say hello, listening to the greetings that contained various meanings, and Kwon Bo Geun responded while showing a slight smug smile.
2 years ago, who would have thought that he, who was once beaten into the cold palace by Li Xiuman and could hardly turn over, would sit in such a high position today?
In the past, he even made a desperate bet on the future of his artists, and if he didn't succeed, he would die, but today, not to mention anything else, only in the music circle, who dares to do anything to him?
J.H Music, which focuses solely on record distribution, has been growing rapidly lately, with a large number of music rights in its hands, coupled with strategic partnerships with SM and YG, J.H Music has mastered about 40% of the record market, and in the past few months, these shares have been fully digested and turned into specific distribution capabilities. In terms of digital music, the revised and integrated J.H. Bugs also dragged Melon down with its resource advantages and became the top of the industry.
As the chief operating officer of J.H Music and the first president of the company, Quan Baogen's identity has naturally risen, and in the past few months, many small and medium-sized brokerage companies have received a lot of flattery in order to establish contact with J.H Music. It is inevitable that the spring breeze will be proud.
Of course, although he is proud, he will not forget how the power in his hands came from.
The longer he has been in charge of J.H Music, the more he can feel the muddle of the record industry, if it weren't for Ahn Joon-hyuk's huge prestige in the battle with SK Group, he entered the market strongly, and caught CJ.E&M and other giants off guard, coupled with Ahn Joon-hyuk's sharp methods, even SK was forced into a desperate situation by him, if it weren't for the intervention of the Blue House. On the issue of Pan-Thailand. SK was almost completely thwarted.
This kind of case makes many established companies quite wary, after all, no one wants to be another SK themselves, so the establishment of J.H Music has been tacitly accepted by the original giants of the record industry. Otherwise. Change the time of day and change the background. If a start-up company wants to expand to the scale it is today, even if it has a lot of capital, it has to follow the rules of the giants step by step. In the end, whether it was assimilated and destroyed by the rules, and made a wedding dress for others, or replaced it, the development is confusing and difficult to count.
So before coming to the conference room, Kwon Bo-geun went to Ahn Jun-hyuk's office to take a look, and the news of Ahn Jun-hyuk's return was hidden from the outside world, but it was impossible to hide it from the inside, but when he went, Ahn Jun-hyuk had already left.
As the night approached, the noise of autumn sunset also enveloped the city, driving on the road, the halo of street lamps paved the long street, the neon colors illuminated the air, crowded pedestrians wandering in the environment of light and shadow, the heavy window glass isolated the world outside, he could see lovers snuggling sweetly, husbands and wives passing by, children holding windmills running through the gaps in the crowd.
Outside, there was a lot of noise, but the car was filled with the "Down.low" "Moonlight", the melancholy female harmonies accompanied by the low drum beat, and the unique lyrical flavor of black rap permeated the air.
Before coming out of the company, I received a call from Ji-so, the other end of the phone was very noisy, and sometimes there were some unfamiliar but familiar voices laughing in Da Lang, Ji-so said that she and Lin Xiujing would stay for a few days before they could come back, and the implication was probably to coax the uncles very happy, and they were a little relieved.
So for the next few days of Qiuxi's vacation, he could only spend it alone.
It's not alone, and Yun'er is with him, but he doesn't know how to face it.
When turning into the Linjiang Road of Cheongdam-dong from Apgujeong, a train is speeding through the Qingtan Bridge in the distance, and the lights in the car are flickering silently, reflecting in the rushing river water messy and broken, just like his mood when he sees the train.
"You always look out the window, do you see anything?"
"Do you want to know what I'm looking at?"
"Then look!" he said.
So he looked over.
The light in the sky was disintegrating, like a huge mirror that occupied the entire field of vision, and the light was divided, becoming smaller and smaller, from the original unity into countless fragments, the train no longer traveled in the twilight, the darkness was surrounded by a terrifying massiveness, they were like floating in the boundless void, small as the vast sea, a lost flat boat.
The only warmth is those disintegrating fragments, which occasionally cross the afterglow projected outside the window.
Each fragment has a picture.
There was a time when little Ahn Joon-hyuk was walking in a muddy field with little Ahn Ji-so on his back and wearing an old-fashioned school uniform, he had just finished a fight, his nose was blue and his face was swollen, because those bad boys wanted to grab Ji-so's sweet potatoes to make her cry. The fight was lost, Jisoo's foot was broken, and the sweet potato was already broken, but it was not thrown away, Jisoo washed it and skinned it, she took a bite, and then puffed out her cheeks and handed the rest to his mouth.
When I was very young, my mother sat in front of the desk lamp, finished the day's work and housework, calculated the expenses, and then looked at the report cards of him and Jisoo, although tired, but happy and smiling.
Ahn Joon-hyuk blushed when he was confessed for the first time by a girl, it was a seawall in early spring, he was pushing a bicycle, wearing a thin shirt, the sea breeze was blowing, there was a birthday card in the car basket, and the girl who was with him pursed his lips shyly......
…………
It was many, many mundane memories of "his" past, which passed by the car window one by one, and "he" kept watching.
When he understood all this, he did not know what he was doing, and he shed tears.
"He" says that "he" is not a so-called personality.
"He" is just trapped in these memories, he can't get out, and he doesn't want to go out, he belongs to Ahn Joon-hyuk...... Fear!(To be continued......)
