Chapter 16: South Korea Sniped (1)

"Hey~" When Jerry received a call from Nanako Tanaka, he was already at Gimpo International Airport in Seoul. Jerry left at a time when the Japanese Cabinet was in the middle of a meeting. After the 1996 election to the new House of Representatives, Nanako Tanaka resigned as Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology because she had been re-elected as Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology for two consecutive terms, and as the right-hand man of Prime Minister Cabinet Minister Takako Doi, who had appeared in Japanese politics since 1990. In 1996, although it encountered a strong backlash from the Liberal Party of Japan, the Democratic Party of Japan and the Citizens' Party of Japan, the Liberal Party of Japan was unwilling to play the role of a green leaf in the cabinet, and joined the Democratic Party and the Civic Party again. However, the New People's Party, which has won a lot of popularity, and the Communist Party of Japan, which has made great progress among the Japanese people after six years of repairing its relations, have united with the Socialist Party, the original party of Ms. Doi Tagako, to form a strong suppression of the opposition parties.

In all the constituencies, the ruling coalition won the vote.

The House of Representatives has undergone a major overhaul, and this year, elections for the Senate will also be on the agenda. Ms. Doi Tagako is also because of her iron fist, whether in response to the Okinawa incident of the US military or in response to the blows of Allah and others, Ms. Doi Tagako has gained super popularity and is honored as the Oriental Thatcher. She is not only the first female prime minister in Japan's history to be elected as a cabinet minister, but also the first female prime minister to be re-elected. Although Nanako Tanaka resigned from her position as Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, she was still arrested by Ms. Doi Tagako. Today, Nanako Tanaka seems to be Japan's foreign minister, and another way of saying it is the foreign minister of the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

It is also because the somewhat "insignificant" position of the Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology has been promoted to the position of Foreign Minister, one of the four ministers. Nanako Tanaka's work is even busier. She was a lot angry about this, obviously thinking that after the re-term expired, she could resign from her job as Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology and be by Jerryjun's side, but in the end she still failed to do so. That's it, when I got home after the meeting, Jerry-kun ran away again.

How could she not be angry!

"Where are you?" Nanako Tanaka asked a little angrily.

"Me? Now in Seoul. ”

"Why did you go to Seoul again? It's not like it's okay. Will you stay in Japan forever? What are you running to Seoul for? ”

Mark said that the layout of Seoul is almost complete, and JR Investment can sit back and wait for the money. So. I just came over to see what Mark has achieved over the years. ”

"Huh?" Nanako Tanaka doesn't care much about JR Investments and the King's Fund anymore. The matter of the King's Fund and JR investment is only intervened by Jerry himself! Originally, these things needed Bob to operate, but unfortunately Bob's situation occurred every once in a while. Jerry simply handed over the position of CEO to Robert Soros. In the field of investment. Robert is still a qualified manager. The King's Fund is still a shell, and its main business is still on the financial giant JR Investment.

"The Koreans are now waiting for us to save their lives." Jerry laughed.

Nanako Tanaka is very familiar with Jerry-kun's laughter, and only when she is preparing for the yin person, Jerry-kun will let out such a laugh, she is not interested in caring about who the object of Jerry's yin is, "Then when will you come back?" ”

"I'll be back when I'm done. By the way, Nanako, I haven't congratulated you on becoming Japan's foreign minister! ”

"Hmph~"

The voice is heard. Jerry twitched uncontrollably.

is already Japan's foreign minister, and he still has a childish temper.

"If you're not happy. Find a suitable time and just retire. Ms. Doi won't force you after all! ”

"Are you Japan's foreign minister a casual position? If you say retreat, you will retreat. ”

"Then you will be your female foreign minister!"

"You~" Nanako Tanaka is angry, this guy is sometimes as smart as death, and sometimes he is as dull as a pig.

Jerry scoffed and hung up.

After the Black Monday financial turmoil that began in New York in 1987 swept the world, the world's economies were hit hard. Among these hard-hit economies are developed countries in particular. In that financial turmoil, small economies and emerging economies did not suffer from the catastrophe because of their own economic aggregate and insufficient market development. These small economies, as well as emerging economies, are represented by the economies of East Asia, more specifically, Thailand, Indonesia, the Philippines, China, and so on. In the past, these economies, which have not suffered a catastrophe, have been expanding at an unimaginable rate. The result of rapid expansion is foam. It's like Korea now! Mark Morbius has been lurking in Asia for many years, and his main market is South Korea. South Korea, one of the Asian Tigers, was not the main target of JR during the last economic crisis. Most of the last Far East layout was in Japan, Taiwan and Hong Kong. And after more than ten years of painstaking research, this time, Mark Mobius patted his chest in front of Jerry: Boss, this time, the JR financial bomb will definitely make South Korea unable to eat and walk around.

Is that really the case?

Of course.

Mark Morbius is confident.

On the way out of Gimpo Airport, Jerry had been reading the information handed to him by Mark.

There is only one company in the profile.

The name of that company is Hanbo Group. In the Hanbao Group, there is only one company that has been marked, Hanbao Steel. As the pillar of Hanbo Group and the second largest steel company in Korea, Hanbo Steel has reached dozens of commercial banks such as Korea Development Bank, Central Bank of Korea, First Bank of Korea, Koram Bank, and Korea Foreign Exchange Bank. However, Hanbao Steel itself has gradually increased its input costs because of the blind expansion of production capacity. Its own competitiveness is gradually decreasing. According to Mark Mobius, by 1995, South Korea's steel production had been blindly expanded by Korean steel companies such as Han Bao. It increased to 36.77 million tons, an increase of 59% compared with 1990. During the period from 1990 to 1995, the price of steel in the domestic and international markets was in a depressed state. Hanbao Group not only did not work internal management, technological transformation and product quality according to market changes, so as to reduce consumption and improve the company's economic benefits. On the contrary, the stupid boss Jung Tae-shou of Hanbao Group actually increased Hanbao's steel production capacity from 1 million tons to 7 million tons.

"Interesting." Jerry pinched his chin, "Mark." Do you have any other information about this guy? ”

Mark opened the briefcase and handed over a large stack of information about Jung Tae-shou.

"This guy's guts are really not ordinary!"

Mark laughed, "It's not just him, it's all Korean family-owned businesses now!" Han Bao Group and Jung Tae-shou. Just the key points I picked out. If we hit Han Bao hard. We can hit the whole of South Korea hard. ”

"Oh?" Jerry put the information aside, "Looks like you've prepared enough." What's the best plan? ”

Mark smiled, having been lurking in East Asia for so long, it was finally time for him to perform. Mark kicked his seat slightly, and a dark chamber appeared under the seat, and he pulled out a black briefcase. Document after document was taken out of the briefcase.

"This is the Foreign Minister's!"

"It's the Financial Secretary's!"

"These are the presidents of the Central Bank of Korea!"

"This is from Korea Chaoxing Bank!"

"First Bank of Korea!"

"New Korea Party Parliamentarians!"

"The opposition party New Politics National Assembly!"

"Chairman of the Congressional Committee on Finance and Economics!"

……

"Kim Yong-sam is his son's!"

Jerry watched Mark Morbius pull out document after document from his briefcase like a treasure, and the smile on his face grew stronger. By the time he heard the words Kim Yong-san, the smile on Jerry's face could not be concealed at all. Who is Kim Yong-sam? The current President of the Republic of Korea!

Since taking office as President of the Republic of Korea in 1993. He punished two presidents, Chun Doo-hwan and Roh Tae-woo, South Korea's anti-corruption pioneers, and the first civilian president of South Korea.

Now, Han Bao's steel corruption incident is directly involved in himself.

Jerry glanced at Mark Mobius, no wonder Mark said that as long as Han Bao Steel is hit hard, the whole of South Korea will be hit hard, not only for the South Korean economy, but also for South Korean politics.

You know, 1997 is an election year in South Korea!

Kim Dae-jung has long been waving his flag and shouting on the side.

"Need help from other members of the investment team?"

Mark Morbius shook his head, are you kidding? It took him nearly a decade to create such a situation, and in order to complete the sniping of South Korea, he even gave up the Thai market, the Malaysian market, the Indonesian market and the Philippine market. No, it would be more accurate to say that in order to complete the sniping of the above economies, he spent all his energy on South Korea, one of the four Asian tigers. The collapse of an entire Asian economy will inevitably trigger a series of chain reactions. Nowadays, the international travel capital gathered in Asia will definitely not let go of such an opportunity. And this situation arose in South Korea, and the whole of Asia, fell into the script he designed. The pleasure of looting a powerful economy and a series of imperfect economies is far greater than the pleasure of looting an incomplete economy, such as the Philippines. Other investment groups, forget it, if they want to come to Asia, let them go to the Philippines, to Malaysia. Korea? If, South Korea is his turf. He didn't want to wait until the last minute, and the other members of the investment team came over to pick peaches.

South Korea is the place where he proves his abilities to his boss. (To be continued......)
