Chapter 657: International Events

On March 26, the pre-job training officially ended, and Kim Yunhao successfully passed the assessment with a score close to full score.

During this time, a lot of things happened around Kim Yoon-ho.

First of all, Girls' Generation held its first solo concert at the fencing arena in Seoul Olympic Park.

This concert meant a lot to Xu Xian and others, and almost everyone cried at the scene or afterwards.

But Kim Yunhao did not appear in the front row that day, which made everyone complain about Kim Yunhao when he was young.

On January 23, 2010, Girls' Generation released the trailer video of the second album "Oh!". On February 3, the second album "Oh!" sold 65,532 copies on the Big H list in 7 days, entering the third place in the first week of sales in the history of the Big H list.

The success of '09 was continued in the early '10 years, and it was unstoppable.

In the general trend, he was preparing for the second solo concert in Shanghai non-stop.

It can be said that during this time, when they were young, they were much busier than Kim Yunhao, and almost all of them lost a few pounds.

During this time, both of them were busy with their own careers, and they had no contact.

At this moment, even Kim Yun-ho's family and the most sluggish people in their youth noticed that the two were abnormal and worried.

…….

In addition, the economic recovery policy launched by the South Korean government has also attracted the attention of Kim Yun-ho and the South Korean public.

At the beginning of 2010, the South Korean government launched the Jeju Island Investment Immigration Policy: if you invest more than $500,000 in real estate in Jeju Island, you can obtain permanent residency.

Take the co-purchase of commercial housing as an example: after the investor buys a property of 700 million won and pays a down payment of 500 million won, he can obtain a South Korean F2 visa (3-year valid residence qualification); Stay in Korea for at least 5 years. Permanent residency can be granted without the occurrence of non-conformity.

Jeju Island has a beautiful natural environment. The tourist conditions are excellent. Housing prices are low and attractive to immigrants; After the policy was issued, it immediately triggered a boom in investment immigration in Jeju Island, and housing prices across the island entered a period of high explosion.

In the past ten years, the housing prices in Kyoto, China have risen by 380%, an astonishing increase.

But if the housing prices in Kyoto are hot, then the housing prices in Jeju Island are volcanic eruptions at the moment.

After the introduction of the investment immigration policy, housing prices in Jeju Island suddenly rose by 10%. It took only three days.

What's even more terrifying is that the housing prices in Jeju Island are steadily rising every natural day, which is stunning.

Under such a feast, all the local real estate companies in South Korea flocked to Jeju Island and became the pioneer of real estate development.

And every time a real estate company launches a new property, it will soon be snapped up, and the demand is far greater than the supply.

But any real estate company that gets land in Jeju Island has nothing that doesn't make a profit.

Of course, the most profitable are the several large real estate companies that have settled in Jeju Island in advance.

One of the representatives is Kim Yoon-ho's Heehyon Real Estate Company.

Kim Yoon-ho invested all of the $1.3 billion from the sale of shares in Heehyun; SK Group, which owns 40% of the shares, also invested US$500 million. After the capital increase, the total assets of Xixian Company exceeded 2 billion.

Hold a large amount of liquidity. Xixian Company has developed extremely rapidly in the past few months and has won many large projects.

When the government launched the investment immigration policy. Heehyon has become a leader in real estate in Jeju Island.

Correspondingly, Xixian Company also earned terrifying benefits for the owner.

But Kim Yun-ho knows that Jeju real estate is only in its infancy, far from the real golden stage; Only Aunt Huaxia entered the venue waving banknotes, and that was the most terrifying stage of returns.

Therefore, Kim Yoon-ho told SK and other shareholders not to withdraw any dividends, increase investment, and hold on to scarce housing, and sit on the price of housing to rise.

Kim Yunhao conservatively estimates that in a few years, the market value of Xixian Company will increase by more than 5, and the market holdings will steadily occupy a dominant position. Tying up Jeju Island politics will no longer be a fantasy or a plan, but will become a reality.

As for the covetousness of major Korean groups for Xixian Company, there is no need to worry about it for the time being.

At present, everyone is racing against time to grab the remaining land, and they have no energy to compete with Xixian Company.

With SK Group behind Xixian Company, it can also solve a lot of troubles. Kim Yoon-ho and Choi Tae-won are expected; The real battle of life and death will not come until a few years later, when the limited land is sold out.

In other words, in the short term, Xixian Company will be safe and sound, and it will not involve too much energy from Kim Yun-ho.

As for the life-and-death battle in a few years, if he can get Park Jinhye's support as planned, he will have no fear.

With the support of SK and Park Jin-hye, Hee-hyun will not be afraid of any challenge.

Of course, the premise of everything is that Kim Yoon-ho can protect himself in Lee Ming-bak's revenge, and then attract the attention of Park Jin-hye, get the opportunity to cooperate with Park Jin-hye, and finally become a partner with him.

It's a lot of trouble to say, and the process is very difficult and full of unknowns, but Kim Yoon-ho is full of confidence.

At this moment, he can only believe that he can succeed, and he can only inspire himself with faith.

……

In addition to the topic of Jeju Island, the annual military exercises of the United States and South Korea are also the focus of public attention.

The U.S.-South Korea military exercise consisted of two parts: a computer-simulated exercise, code-named Critical Resolve, which began in early March, and a live-fire exercise involving marines and an anti-submarine exercise, which began in mid-month.

Previous US-ROK military exercises have been major events of international concern, especially in the context of North Korea's underground nuclear test last year.

Throughout March, news reports related to the U.S.-South Korean military exercises flooded the entire society, and the public paid great attention to it.

Regarding this US-ROK military exercise, the South Korean people's hearts are extremely complicated.

On the one hand, anti-American sentiment is growing in South Korea, and there is a strong demand for the government to expel US troops from the country.

On the other hand, the South Korean people are worried that South Korea will lose its military advantage over North Korea after the withdrawal of US troops.

It is precisely this kind of mentality that makes the people extremely entangled, and the attention to military exercises is naturally high.

However, this matter of national concern has little to do with Kim Yun-ho.

Because he doesn't have much affection for the country of South Korea, he only cares about the people around him.

Therefore, whether South Korea and North Korea fight or not, he feels that it has little to do with him. Anyway, it wasn't him who went to war.

…….

On the night of the 26th. Kim Yoon-ho returns to Yeongdeungpo's house. Reunite with Jung Dai-qin and Kim Yoon-hee.

After dinner, during family conversation and communication, Kim Yun-ho suddenly received a work call from the Supreme Prosecutor's Office.

After putting down the phone, Kim Yun-ho became solemn.

Jin Yunxi held the cantaloupe in her hand and asked curiously, "What's wrong?" ”

Jin Yunhao got up suddenly: "The unit asked me to go back immediately, you guys sleep first, I won't come back tonight." ”

Zheng Daiqin was a little worried: "Yun Hao! You okay? ”

Kim Yunho smiled and comforted: "It doesn't have much to do with me, you just know it when you watch TV." ”

After saying that, Kim Yun-ho put on his coat, picked up the key and left in a hurry.

Shortly after Kim Yoon-ho left. The KBS channel on the TV in the living room suddenly interjected with urgent news.

"At 9:45 p.m. on the 26th, the South Korean Cheonan frigate exploded and sank while patrolling the disputed waters between the two Koreas in the Yellow Sea, and the number of casualties is still uncertain, and relevant rescue work has been urgently launched......

"Let's go..."

The cantaloupe in Zheng Daiqin's hand fell to the ground, and the whole person looked confused.

Jin Yunxi moved her ass to Zheng Daiqin's side and comforted: "Mom! Look at what scares you, it's okay! ”

Zheng Daiqin looked in a trance: "It's okay?!" How could it be okay! This is going to war! ”

Jin Yunxi's face was full of disapproval: "War? How is this possible! Isn't it just that the Cheonan exploded and sank! ”

Although Zheng Daiqin is not highly educated, her 50 years of life experience have made her quite wise.

"North Korea conducts underground nuclear tests, and relations between South Korea and North Korea have suddenly become sour;

The ongoing U.S.-South Korea military exercises are mainly aimed at the threat of North Korea, and inter-Korean relations are unprecedentedly tense;

In this atmosphere, the Cheonan explosion was silent. It will certainly be reminiscent of North Korea;

If it is found out after the investigation that it was the DPRK that did it, then war will definitely break out. ”

Zheng Daiqin's analysis is meticulous. Not like a housewife, but like a military observer, very professional.

But Kim Yun-hee felt that even if it was really North Korea's doing, it would not lead to war.

So Zheng Daiqin, as an old man in the 60s of the last century, used her own personal experience to refute Jin Yunxi.

Zheng Daiqin began to tell about the 'January 21 Blue House Attack' that occurred in 1968.

At that time, North Korea sent armed members composed of 31 members of the special operations death squad under the "124th Army" to secretly cross the military demarcation line and penetrate into South Korea, intending to attack the Blue House and assassinate the then South Korean President Park Zhengxi.

The North Korean assassination plan was accidentally discovered by the head of the small police station, and a shootout broke out, followed by a fierce exchange of fire between the army defending the Blue House and the Gan death squad on the Buakak Mountain Road near the Blue House, and finally captured 1 member of the death squad, killed 27 people, and 3 people are missing.

The incident shocked the world because it happened near the Blue House and was discovered by accident.

Citizens who lived in Seoul were deeply impressed by the gunfire that night, and they still remember it.

For many years, the local military conflicts between the DPRK and the ROK have never been interrupted, and it was not until the 20th century that the tense and tragic military conflicts eased slightly.

Young people don't have much of an impression of the military conflict between the two countries, and their impressions are limited to the casualty figures and stories. But the old people who lived before the 60s have experienced the war first-hand and know how terrible it is.

Jung Dai-qin believes that war is possible, but Kim Yun-hee vetoes it as a young man.

In this debate between the two generations, in the end, no one was able to convince anyone.

Although the debate was inconclusive, there is no doubt that the explosion and sinking of the Cheonan ship has attracted the attention of all South Koreans.

Kim Yoon-ho was driving to the Supreme Prosecutor's Office to get more information one after another.

After the incident, Lee Myung-bak urgently convened an emergency security meeting with the Minister of National Defense, the Director of National Intelligence and other relevant personnel, and finally Lee Ming-bak issued an order:

National Police agencies in various parts of Seoul have entered a 'second-level state of emergency';

The military level of the area where the incident occurred was adjusted from level 4 to level 3 state of emergency;

All military, judicial and other personnel across the country have entered their respective posts;

On this seemingly ordinary night, the undercurrent was turbulent due to the sudden explosion and sinking of the Cheonan ship in a sensitive sea area.

At this moment, Kim Yun-ho still thinks that this matter has little to do with him.

But what he didn't know was that the incident had a profound impact on him. (To be continued.) )
