"If I'm not mistaken, the technical level of the Chinese is roughly equivalent to that of the seventies and eighties in the world, right? They haven't even popularized CNC machine tools, but you say that the technology of this opponent can't be compared with us Koreans? I think you're shirking your responsibility! ”

"It's true!" Park Taesoon said with tears in his eyes: "Speaking of which, this technology is also related to the Pan Han Group, and the segmented shipbuilding method was developed by this company!" ”

"It's this business again." Li Handong thought about it for a while, and seemed to be thinking seriously about how to deal with it.

"That's not a problem."

Kim Dae-jung, who was sitting in the first place, suddenly spoke, and as soon as the sixty-nine-year-old spoke, he immediately became the central focus of the conference room, and everyone's eyes and attention were focused.

"I looked at the detailed description of the national economy sent by the Statistics Office, and in the first three quarters of 2001, our gross national product fell by more than $100 billion. I thought we were out of the shadow of the economic crisis, who will sue me and why is this happening? Minister Park Taesoon, you are the Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade, and you have to give me an explanation. ”

"I, I, I'm so sorry, it's my incompetence ......"

What else to say? From the moment Kim Dae-jung spoke, he knew that his minister had done it. Someone must be responsible for the major economic downturn that has occurred this year, and someone must also set up a sign for the next Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade. In that case, the best option is yourself.

It's actually a bit ridiculous to say.

The trillion-dollar investment plan promoted by Zhou Shuo has the greatest impact not on the United States, but on the neighboring South Korea.

To put it simply, South Korea is now the three largest economic pillars. The electronics, automobile, and shipbuilding industries have formed a strict short-handed competition with Bohai Province.

In shipbuilding. South Korea's shipbuilding industry has been completely defeated in 2000, and major shipbuilders have either gone bankrupt or changed careers to find another way out.

If this process is to be started after seven or eight years. Koreans may still be able to rely on their accumulated heritage to fight to the death. However, it is a pity that since the fifties and sixties of the last century, the world's shipbuilding center has undergone many transfers from the leading industrial countries to the later industrial countries.

After the increase in labor costs in Japan, the normal history should be the transfer of shipbuilding to South Korea. At that time, China's shipbuilding industry was still very backward, which prompted South Korea to become the new shipbuilding center.

After seven or eight years of development, it was not until 2008 that it was qualified to challenge the level of Korean shipbuilding.

Since then, China's shipbuilding industry has entered the natural process of history, gradually disintegrating the shipbuilding market in South Korea and Japan, and then reaching the top.

Pity. The Koreans did not have the accumulation time of these seven or eight years, and it was only three or four years since they received the shipbuilding market from Japan.

At this time, a Bochuan Heavy Industry Group suddenly appeared, mastering the technology of sectional shipbuilding and float dock.

This technology is so revolutionary that it eliminates the need for shipbuilding slipways, eliminates the need for shipyards, and allows multiple sectional factories to build a single ship at the same time.

The cost and time have been greatly shortened, and the competitiveness of China's shipbuilding industry has easily surpassed that of South Korea. This is equivalent to when South Korea is about to tie the cards, China suddenly comes out and cuts off.

Truncated beard......

If South Korea is a player at the table. At this time, I will definitely want to cry without tears.

Except for some special high-tech ships, such as LNG ships, China has not yet mastered the technology. Others, such as cruise ships, bulk ships, container ships, ro-ro ships, and most other ships, orders from the international market are accelerating the flow to Chinese shipping companies.

With one entry and one entry, South Korea's shipbuilding industry has long been in decline today. The only one who gets the benefits is Bochuan Heavy Industry. Taking advantage of this opportunity, we have received a large number of new second-hand equipment in South Korea -- these equipment are all new equipment that Korean companies are preparing to buy in the shipbuilding industry.

Not to mention the shipbuilding industry, South Korea's other pillar industry, the automobile industry, is also facing a major regression.

Korean cars follow the old Japanese path. That is, low-price, high-quality, cost-effective, low-cost car road. Korean cars learn from European masters in terms of styling, and continue to absorb and summarize in technology. Gradually develop your own set. The price is lower than that of Japanese cars, making it the most affordable mainstream model in the world market.

But this situation now faces a new problem. That is, Japanese cars are returning to this market.

Through the matchmaking of the Bohai Provincial Government, Fanhan Group, Jinbei Bus Company and Fengtian Brilliance Company jointly established Brilliance Jinbei Automobile Co., Ltd.

Fanhan Group provides a full set of on-board computer systems, while Jinbei Automobile and Brilliance Company have rich experience in the field of automobile assembly and spare parts. The newly established Brilliance Jinbei attracted Toyota's cooperation with on-board computer technology, and established a joint venture to establish Toyota Brilliance Motor Group.

The new company's electronic equipment is all purchased from the Fanhan Group, and a considerable part of the spare parts are also purchased from China, and only the core components are imported from Japan.

Since 1999, Toyota has launched a series of new models that use on-board computer systems, and its production costs have dropped significantly due to the construction of factories in China and the use of parts supplied from China.

This is thanks to the Pan Han Group in Bohai Province over the years spared no effort to promote the ERP system, from the same source of ERP system, so that Bohai Province auto parts enterprises into Toyota's supply chain less trouble, otherwise with Toyota's strict control of the supply chain, I am afraid there are really not many Chinese enterprises in 2001 can stand.

Zhou Shuo also scratched his head a little in this regard, if Toyota and Brilliance cooperate, it is inevitable that they will not cooperate with FAW again, which inevitably feels a little sorry for Shuangmu Province.

However, fortunately, FAW, as a time-honored Chinese car company, does not have to worry about not having a cooperative company. FAW-Volkswagen has been established since 1991, and the absence of FAW Toyota is not a problem.

After the construction and running-in, the launch of several cost-effective Toyota cars really hurt Korean cars.

With the same price and better craftsmanship, the in-vehicle electronic system is too attractive, although the origin is a little worrying.

Now the electronic technology applied in Zhou Shuo's Maybach is no longer the patent of luxury cars. Reversing video, driving record, car MP3 player and audio equipment, car navigation, cruise system, digital driving status monitoring.

To be honest, these microcontrollers cost less than one-tenth of a car. But in terms of functionality and human feelings, a car with these devices is not a half as expensive as it is not.

Hyundai-Kia Motors is not unaware of the fact that it is also using this technology in its own cars. But the first patented technology is not in their hands - this is of course in the hands of the Pan Han Group, and it is impossible for the Koreans to use it with Zhou Shuo's ideas. Second, even if they tried to get around, they found it impossible.

For the car audio and video system, the patent of the entire MP3 is still in the hands of Pan Han Group, and it is very difficult to obtain resources by making a set of standards by itself.

Not to mention the car monitoring system, Korean cars must comply with international standards unless they are only sold at home. And what is the international standard? Since 1999, the standards of advanced OBDII have been set by the Pan-Han Research Institute, and even Europe has been left behind in this regard, at least three or four years ahead of the world.

If it is not in accordance with the standards of Pan Han Group, the computerized car inspection equipment that is being popularized in various countries around the world will not be able to detect Korean cars. The inconvenience caused by this has made Korean cars very bad in the car repair industry.

A car with a bad repair reputation and expensive repair, even if the purchase price is cheap, the cost of maintaining the car will exceed in a few years.

In this way, the newly merged Hyundai-Kia Motors Group was also hit hard in 2001 and was wiped out by Toyota Brilliance in the world market.

In the end, coupled with the comprehensive collapse of the liquid crystal industry with high hopes, this led to a big downturn in the South Korean economy. Three quarters were down $100 billion in revenue from last year.

Park Taesoon is indeed quite wronged, is this his lack of ability? Yes and no. He didn't spot the adverse shifts in the market in time, but that's a bit harsh.

The shipbuilding, automobile, and electronics industries all have problems, not to mention that he is a minister, and Kim Dae-jung himself is a little numb. This is not the Asian financial crisis of the past two years, and it is a crime to shout that it is not a war crime.

Now that the GDP has fallen by at least a quarter in a calm and sudden manner, can it still be said that "it is not that the government is too incompetent, but that the enemy is too cunning"?

No, so someone has to step up and take responsibility. This person is obviously Park Taesoon.

"I think we need a new Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade." Jin Dazhong nodded expressionlessly, looked at Li Handong and asked, "Prime Minister, do you have any candidates?" ”

"Well, there's one."

Neither Kim Dae-jung nor Lee Han-dong was looking at Park Tae-soon, and the others in the office also regarded him as transparent, and no one cared about his mood at this time.

Li Handong thought for a while and said, "Do Minjun, I think he should be able to lead the transformation of South Korea's economy to the best of its ability and get rid of the current unfavorable situation." ”

"Oh? Tell us about your thoughts. Kim Dae-jung seems to be a little interested.

"Yes." "My idea is that we don't necessarily rely on these old pillar industries, and we can also find new economic growth points to tide over this crisis," Lee said. This Du Minjun is very good at the non-real economy. It is up to him to promote the export of new industries such as clothing, cosmetics, film and television dramas, medical plastic surgery, tourism and video games, which will not only bring in a lot of foreign exchange, but also reduce the reserves used in our imported raw materials. In the long run, it will be very beneficial to the Korean economy......" (To be continued......

PS: I think sooner or later, South Korea will definitely embark on this path......
