The reason why the "donation movement" triggered by the two first-generation national goddesses of South Korea created by Mr. the richest man in South Korea can suddenly "rise up" is of course because the initiator accurately grasped the situation. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

At this stage, South Korea's foreign exchange reserves, the boss of the "Asian Tigers," are pitiful at less than $4 billion, and in the face of the shaky economic collapse situation, it is not enough to plug its teeth, unless it dares to brazenly declare a default on its sovereign debts, but the question is, does such a strange existence, which does not even hold the wartime command in military sovereignty in its own hands, have the courage to pay the corresponding costs?

In the face of the United States and Ichi, which are supposed to be hardcore allies, South Korea, which indifferently refuses to lend a helping hand and can only grovel to the International Monetary Fund, can be said to have experienced the heat and coldness of the world.

In this case, the so-called "donation campaign", although more or less tinged with a bit of sadness under the feeling of helplessness, can hardly say how much effect it can have on increasing foreign exchange reserves, but it is valuable in that it can reunite the spirit that has been scattered after breaking the backbone.

Kim Dae-jung, who won the South Korean presidential election on December 19, joined his wife and his wife in this sudden "donation campaign" and donated the gold jewelry treasured at home.

The new presidents of South Korea are so "fighting", how can the "donation campaign" not respond to all the calls!

The two female artists are so knowledgeable, how can they not be embraced as national goddesses!

When South Korean President-elect Kim Dae-jung met with the richest man, he made two clear points at the beginning:

First, South Korea wants to follow the path of becoming a science and technology nation and elevate the development of information technology to the status of a national strategy -- and even bluntly stated, "I want to be the president who revitalizes the IT industry." ”

Second, South Korea also needs to vigorously develop the cultural industry and make an important contribution to the emergence of Korean culture on the global stage - so after taking office, one of his concrete measures is to increase the budget of the cultural sector to 1 percent of the total government budget.

Obviously, the first point is the old business of Tang IT; The second point is also Tang Tycoon's strength.

In the view of the richest man who actively responded to the president-elect's expectations - for South Korea, Kim Dae-jung's life is equivalent to a condensed modern history of South Korea, which can be called a "pillar of politics" and is currently being supported by everyone; For the international community, the other party, known as the "Korean Mandela", has a great appetite for Western politics ~ governance, and then has a lot of popularity with those forces that emphasize the correctness of politics ~ governance.

On this basis, Kim Dae-jung took over Kim Yong-sam, who had already done a lot of "recruiting people" and turned the tide of South Korea's economy, and there was no big problem.

After all, the experienced International Monetary Fund has already prescribed a "prescription" that should still be effective if it does not consider the issue of "betraying the country", and South Korea is next to the huge Chinese market, which is getting closer and closer to each other.

I have to say that the general trend is the general trend - the two business cards of South Korea after a few years have been designed at this time.

In the face of Kim Dae-jung's enthusiasm, Mr. the richest man cautiously said that he would try to participate in the reconstruction process of South Korea's finance, manufacturing and other fields in addition to the two major industries of IT and culture.

For this reason, Tang Huan also curiously took a special look at how Daewoo, who is said to be the third largest chaebol in South Korea at this stage, is going farther and farther on the road to death.

Kim Woo-chung, who single-handedly created this behemoth, still firmly believes in the myth of "Malaysia is immortal" - under the raging Asian financial turmoil, other chaebols have shrunk their fronts and made internal adjustments to cope with the crisis, but Kim Woo-chung, who is in charge of Daewoo, still regards expansion as the only truth, regards the crisis as a good opportunity for acquisition and expansion, and frantically "borrows to operate", and then the short-term debt crisis accumulates like a tired egg.

The richest man naturally has no leisure to care about the lives of Kim Woo-chung and Daewoo, and what he is really interested in is the factories that Daewoo has invested in Chinese mainland, which are attractive high-quality assets within the crumbling Daewoo system.

You know, China is about to usher in another round of infrastructure peak, and Daewoo's construction machinery business will also take this opportunity to make a fortune.

How can you get the goal elegantly, it's quite a test of wisdom -- or, in the form of a debt-to-equity swap, give a little loan to Jin Yuzhong, who is looking for money with red eyes?

When the richest man still didn't forget to calculate during the break, Li Yingai and Shen Yinhe came together and said a piece of news excitedly.

Kim Dae-jung personally met with the two daughters, praised them, invited them to be the ambassadors of South Korea's tourism industry, and even discussed the feasibility of their personal participation in the filming of the tourism promotional video - it is rare for a president of a country to do so himself.

Mr. The richest man just smiled gently, "The two national goddesses are also ready to participate in the production of large-scale investment film and television." ”

Shen Yinhe, who had a relatively pungent temperament, said with a grin: "In front of you, you don't dare to take the title of this national goddess - after a while, we will not be at your mercy." ”

The richest man laughed, "There's no need to be modest - actually, I like the national goddess a lot." ”

……

Tang Huan stayed in South Korea for a little longer this time, mainly because there were more things. After all, although the shareholding in Samsung Electronics is only something that can be finalized by Li Jianxi and him playing a game, it is still quite difficult to implement it below.

More importantly, through the assessment, the richest man is convinced that South Korea's current collapsed economy will recover quickly, and he will not only gain prestige when Tang Huan prefers to buy the bottom of the financial field, just like those international co-opists. As a result, he is secretly interested in high-quality investments in the Korean industrial sector, especially in China.

With this in mind, the richest man is naturally very interested in South Korean politics - witnessing Kim Dae-jung's eventual victory in the election and actively interacting with the presidential candidate.

Among the many achievements achieved by the two, the investment in Samsung Electronics has undoubtedly become the most eye-catching, and the most anticipated one in terms of IT; The second is the Internet.

Of course, Tang Huan has also taken practical actions in the cultural field advocated by Kim Dae-jung - for example, in addition to continuing to praise the film and television production of Lee Ying-ae and Shen Eun-ha, the two Korean national goddesses he created, he also used South Korea as a breakthrough in video game competition.

It just so happens that the real-time strategy game "Fengshen" expansion film "Forsaken" is currently on sale worldwide, and Shen Yinhe participated in the filming of the promotional video, and then includes professional events, live TV broadcasts, etc.

Mr. The richest man also personally clarified some misunderstandings that ordinary people are accustomed to in video game competition at a media briefing.

The first point to emphasize is, of course, that video game competition is not a plaything - in the case of the real-time strategy game "Fengshen", the whole battle process is similar to Go, full of game wisdom.

The quality requirements for players participating in video game competition are not as simple as taken for granted - in addition to being flexible, they must also have a good body, otherwise it is difficult to cope with the mental and physical exertion of the fierce confrontation.

Although video game competition is still a new thing, EA has been exploring for so many years and has a mature routine.

But the cultural and entertainment industry is inseparable from two things, one is the story, the other is the star, which is the basis of appeal - sometimes sports are also classified into this category, it seems difficult to understand, but according to these two to compare the world's most commercially valuable football league, what giants, city derby, football superstars, etc., isn't it.

At this stage, South Korea, which is fighting against the odds, wants to vigorously develop the cultural industry, which is equivalent to giving the development of video game sports a valuable growth soil on a global scale; And "Fengshen", the world's best-selling real-time strategy game, has never lacked a story; As for celebrities, let Shen Yinhe, the national goddess who was arbitrarily manipulated by the richest man in Tang, come out to be coquettish, which can attract many Korean teenagers to actively participate; Next, a wider range of social recognition will depend on financial support and solid operation.

The richest man stepped in to coordinate the project, and of course it was to great effect - the video game competition for the real-time strategy game "Gods" kicked off in the upcoming spring of 1998, and a live TV channel was set up for it.

……

Tang Huan, who had gained a lot, was about to take the old Si Jinliang, who was praised as a pair of little people with Yin Xin at the banquet, after participating in the engagement ceremony of Li Jianxi's eldest son Li Zairong, who was specially advanced by Li Jianxi, to return to the United States, and suddenly reported a news from Xiangjiang, which made him temporarily change his mind.

Compared with the defeated including Siam and South Korea, the successful defense of Hong Kong, that is, the linked exchange rate system of 7.8 Hong Kong dollars to 1 US dollar was maintained, and as for the stock index, futures index, and even real estate, it was also inevitable to plummet, causing countless bankruptcies.

Among them, there is a securities company that is about to go bankrupt, Peregrine Investment, which has attracted the attention of the richest man.

Peregrine's history can be traced back to 1988, when Liang Botao, who has now won the title of "Father of Red Chips", and Du Huilian, a Briton who served as his boss when he was at International Treasure Bank, raised $38 million to raise $38 million and set up a joint venture. At that time, it was supported by many Chinese tycoons, including Li Bancheng, Rong Zhijian, and Hu Yingxiang, and the business was endless; In just two years after its establishment, it first acquired 30% of the shares of Guangsheng Hong founded by Feng Futian at a price of HK$226 million, and then acquired Taisheng International from Heung Zhiqiu as a flagship company, which laid the foundation of the current Peregrine; By 1992, the total assets had reached 6.2 billion Hong Kong dollars, and the business scope had expanded to the entire Asia-Pacific region, as well as Europe and the United States.

Taking advantage of the rapid development of Shanghai City after Chief Deng's southern tour in 1992 and the opportunity of urgent need for funds, Peregrine began to assist Hucheng Industrial in listing in Hong Kong, which led to the "red chip fever" in Hong Kong - among the 60 or so "red chips" during this period, Peregrine served as the sponsor or as the underwriter of the allotment; Among the 39 H-shares, Peregrine also underwrote 7. Liang Botao, managing director of Peregrine, also won the title of "father of red chips".

By 1996, Peregrine's turnover was as high as HK$175.5 billion, while in the same year, Merrill Lynch had a turnover of HK$167.8 billion and Lehman Brothers had a turnover of HK$105.1 billion -- making Peregrine one of the leading investment banks in Asia, and the only Hong Kong-funded investment bank in Hong Kong, an international financial center, that can truly compete with Wall Street.

But don't get me wrong, Peregrine's brilliant achievements were achieved by underwriting "red chips" -- not to mention whether he could make so much money, if he was really so honest, he would not necessarily go bankrupt now.

The secret to Peregrine's success lies in the fixed-income bond division that Peregrine set up in 1994 and a director named Andre Lee that he recruited from Lehman Brothers.

Andre Lee is a Canadian-born Korean-French man who is a talented man in the securities industry and has been described as "selling snow to Eskimos".

As a result, in the past few years, Andre Lee and Peregrine quickly established a junk bond market for Asia - junk bonds, which were played by the United States in the 1980s, and finally Michael Milken, the "king of junk bonds", was fined hundreds of millions of dollars and imprisoned, but in Asia, there is room for survival at the right time, which can be regarded as a kind of information asymmetry.

From 1994 to 1996, Peregrine's performance increased sixfold; Also in 1996, when Peregrine beat Merrill Lynch and Lehman Brothers, one-third of Peregrine's operating profit came from the junk bond division led by Andre Lee.

As the saying goes, if you often walk by the river, how can you not get your shoes wet -- as soon as the Asian financial crisis came, Peregrine played badly.

One of its biggest failures was to provide an unsecured loan of $260 million to an Indonesian taxi company in order to underwrite junk bonds - as a result, the Indonesian rupiah fell sharply against the US dollar from 1:5,000 to 1:11,000 in the wake of the financial crisis.

Coupled with other losses such as these, Peregrine's cash flow was cut off, and it was very difficult to find foreign aid, and it was really not far from death.

Zhuang Menghua, who was in Xiangjiang, suggested: "If you follow your plan and participate in the battle to defend the Xiangjiang Linked Exchange Rate next, then Peregrine is not a good resource to undertake the camp safely isolated from the Qinhe family." ”

In this way, the richest man came to Xiangjiang again more than two months after receiving the Grand Bauhinia Medal.

Silicon Valley No. 1 is too conspicuous, and as soon as it landed at Kai Tak Airport, which is about to end its historical mission, the Hong Kong media heard the wind - is the richest man coming at this point in time to help the needy in a responsible way?
