Chapter 99 Park Dong-hoon with a heavy responsibility on his shoulders

At this time, Park Dong-hoon casually strolled around the campus of Shenhwa University, watching the scenery of the campus and the flow of people coming and going. I don't know, because of his decision, poor Xun Yinhai is already a lamb to the slaughter.

He studied economics at Seoul National University for three years and then went to Kyoto University in Japan for four years to earn a master's degree in economics.

Although Shenhua University was founded at the beginning of the century in 1907, it was only 10 years later than the establishment of Kyoto University in Japan and 17 years earlier than Seoul National University. But in Park Dong-hoon's eyes, in every aspect, it is far inferior to these two universities.

Seoul National University is the first national university in South Korea and on the Korean Peninsula, although it is a pity that it was established by the Japanese. However, since the end of World War II and the independence of the Republic of Korea, Seoul National University has been leading the development direction of various academic circles in South Korea, and has cultivated a large number of social figures for South Korea.

Kyoto University, on the other hand, is the largest national comprehensive university in Japan after the University of Tokyo. Known as the "cradle of scientists", it is home to several Nobel Prize winners.

On the other hand, Shenhua University, which is not as famous as the two universities in Beijing in China, has no internationally renowned figures. If it weren't for the demands of the Samsung Group and Shanghai's position in China's economic map, he would rather teach at the two universities in Beijing than come here. Park Dongxun speaks Chinese well, but to be precise, his Northeast dialect is good, if it is said that everyone communicates in Mandarin, Park Dongxun has no problem, but when it comes to listening to the Shanghai dialect, he also has a headache. So he prefers to be able to stay in the north of China.

It's just that the decision of the Samsung Group is something he can disobey, so he can only obediently come to Shanghai, the largest economic city in China, to prepare for the Samsung Group's large-scale entry into the Chinese market.

Samsung Group for the huge Chinese market, it can be said that it has long been salivating, rather than in those developed countries, bothering to fight with those internationally renowned enterprises, competing for market share, it is better to seize the Chinese market before the full opening of the Chinese market, enter China, seize the market, and obtain huge profits for the group. Based on this, we will compete with companies in developed countries in Europe and the United States.

Compared with European and American countries, Korean companies still have certain advantages in entering China. First of all, there are Koreans in China, and after the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries, a large number of Koreans went to South Korea to work, which naturally made Koreans understand China better from them. Secondly, Korean culture can be said to be in the same vein as Chinese civilization, and for Chinese society, Koreans naturally know more about it than Europeans and Americans. Third, the geographical location between South Korea and China is inherently advantageous.

Compared with European and American countries, in China, the great enemy of the Samsung Group is the Japanese enterprises! As for the local enterprises in China, the Samsung Group does not pay attention to them at all! Those Chinese state-owned enterprises that still cling to the Jihua economy and do not let go and produce old products day after day and year after year do not pose any threat to the Samsung Group at all! On the contrary, there are a few private enterprises, although their scale is far less than that of the Samsung Group, but they are full of vitality! But Park doesn't think they can continue to operate for decades like Samsung Group and eventually become a huge conglomerate with tens of billions of dollars in assets.

In his view, the future of Huaxia is to become a source of raw materials and a dumping place for Korean companies!

"It's unimaginable that a first-class university doesn't even have a decent faculty dormitory!" Park Dong-hoon secretly despised in his heart, and it can be seen from this that Shenhua University does not attach importance to the lives of faculty and staff. The teacher's dormitory is not even as good as the ordinary student dormitory in South Korea! You must know that in South Korea, the student dormitory is usually shared by two people, but here, the teachers are actually shared by two people! It seems that the legend that in Huaxia University, the news that six to eight students live together is true!

Park Dong-hoon couldn't imagine what it would be like to have eight people living in such a small room! Although it is said that one should not pay too much attention to enjoyment on the road to study, wouldn't eight people in one room have no space for themselves at all? Moreover, the eight people have different personalities and living habits, and if they meet a few roommates with strange personalities, wouldn't it be bad luck?

Park Dongxun suddenly remembered the passages in ancient Chinese literature he had seen, "Therefore, the heavens will descend on people, and they must first suffer their minds, strain their muscles and bones, starve their bodies and skin, empty their bodies, and act chaotically, so they are tempted to endure and benefit what they can't." Maybe that's why?

However, Park Dong-hoon has also been to the international student building of Shenhwa University before, and the environment there is quite good, and it is not inferior to the dormitory of a Korean university.

He couldn't help but think of the information he had learned from the Koreans from China before he came to China -- in China, foreigners were first-class citizens, officials were second-class citizens, rich people were third-class citizens, and the rest were grass people!

Park Dongxun couldn't help laughing, if this is really the case, then Huaxia is really a paradise for foreigners!

Just as Park Dongxun was strolling around the campus, Fang Mingyuan and his party had already arrived at the Bund on the banks of the Huangpu River.

"On the first day of reporting, this kind of thing happened, and it was really disappointing! I didn't even want to go to school at Shenhua University. Zhao Ya took Fang Mingyuan's arm and pouted. Originally, she was in a good mood, but she let that fat man stir it up! I knew that this would have happened, so she wouldn't have come to Shenhua University, so she would have just gone to East China Gongji University like Fang Mingyuan and Liu Yong!

"Xiaoya, don't be angry with that pig!" Fang Mingyuan pointed ahead, "Over there is the Pudong Oriental Pearl Tower that you have always wanted to see!"

Zhao Ya and Feng Qian looked at Fang Mingyuan's fingers, and saw that there were many tower cranes on the other side of the river, but the most conspicuous was the Oriental Pearl Tower, which has become the tallest tower in Asia with an absolute height of 468 meters. At this time, the Jin Mao Tower, the tallest building in China, was still under construction. The headquarters of the Carrefour Group, although it is also in the Pudong area, is not visible from here.

"Qianqian, the Oriental Pearl Tower is really high! Hey, Mingyuan, I heard that there is a revolving restaurant on it, isn't it?" Zhao Ya said as he lifted the Oriental Pearl Tower.

"Well, it seems to be more than two hundred and sixty meters high, and it is said that it can accommodate more than three hundred people to dine at the same time, why, do you want to go there for dinner?" Fang Mingyuan responded casually, but his eyes swirled on the buildings of different styles on the Bund.

As a former British and French concession, the Bund was a center of foreign trade, with many foreign banks and prosperous trade. Many foreign and Chinese-funded banks have been established on the Bund, making it the "financial street" of Shanghai and the "Oriental Wall Street". These banks and foreign banks built a lot of buildings on the Bund, and the result was that the small Bund area has more than 50 buildings of different styles, such as Gothic, Romanesque, Baroque, Eclectic, Modern Western, East Indian, and Chinese and Western styles, which are known as the "International Architecture Exhibition Group" by the world. In the past, these buildings belonged to foreign companies that were once prominent in China, but after the establishment of the Republic, these buildings were nationalized and handed over to state-owned units. But Fang Mingyuan knows that in the near future, perhaps five to ten years, most of these buildings will be transferred to commercial companies, most of which are financial institutions. Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to call this the "financial street" of Shanghai.

In Shanghai at that time, for the vast majority of companies, the Bund was a "treasure land of feng shui". Owning a piece of land on the Bund is not only a symbol of wealth, but also a symbol of status! Nowadays, although it is impossible to have land ownership, if you can live in these buildings, it is also a symbol of the company's strength! For those foreigners, this is even more so!

Fang Mingyuan couldn't help but think in his heart, it was absolutely impossible to pocket all these buildings, not to mention the question of whether the Shanghai Municipal Government would agree or not, that is, they had no opinion, and that would inevitably be a bit too ostentatious! Moreover, many of these buildings were occupied by state government agencies, such as the Customs Building and the Foreign Trade Bureau Building, and Fang Mingyuan did not think that he could persuade these two organs to vacate the buildings and transfer them to him. However, it is also a good choice to choose a few of them and collect them under your command in advance. In the future, whether you use it for yourself or rent it to other companies, you will definitely not lose money!

This time, Fang Mingyuan's harvest in Japan is also extremely rich, removing the funds returned to Aso Xiangyue and Lin Lian, and then removing the funds needed to acquire some shares of Japanese-funded companies, Fang Mingyuan still has a huge amount of funds in his hands that have nowhere to go, which is also a pain, Fang Mingyuan has to always look for opportunities to land them. These buildings with a long history are also a good choice.

So, is the HSBC Building, which was originally the location of the Shanghai branch of the Hong Kong Shanghai HSBC Bank, which later became the headquarters of the Pudong Bank, and is known as "the most exquisite building from the Suez Canal to the Bering Strait"? Or the Bund Building 18, formerly known as the Macquarie Bank, which was once the headquarters of the British Standard Chartered Bank in China. Or do you simply buy No. 26, which was originally the site of the old Sassoon Bank and later belonged to the Huaxia Industrial and Commercial Bank?

"Hey, Brother Yuan!" Feng Qian's slightly dissatisfied voice came from his ears, "You're distracted again!"
