Chapter 178: A Journey to Asia (4)

Ten days ago, Lao Liu did not arrive in Pyongyang alone, but came to the airport to greet him, in addition to Choi Sang-long, the chairman of the DPRK Football Association, who was very familiar with Leboeuf some time ago and visited the London Wellingham Club twice, there were also a number of high-ranking DPRK political officials, and even a vice minister of the Ministry of Commerce.

The protagonists of this time are Mr. Kai, President of Kingsd Group and Mr. Beige, the first President of Asia Pacific, and Lao Liu accompanied him to the groundbreaking ceremony for the construction of the largest storage crystal core manufacturing and memory chip pressing factory built by Kingsd Group in Asia, the third phase of the factory project will cost a total of more than one billion pounds, and will become the world's third centralized storage crystal core manufacturing center in addition to Yuben and South Korea, and will provide more than 30,000 jobs for North Korea. It will also drive the development of various ancillary industries and service industries around the industrial zone, not to mention the development of North Korea's precision crystal nucleus in the future.

Since Lao Liu decided to help Lee Jingshun's victory club, he arranged for Leboeuf to strengthen communication with the North Korean Football Association, Lao Liu knew in his heart that in such a country where the planned economy had just begun to transform, economic support alone would not help Lee Jingshun in the real sense, and Park Jaehong's power background could easily make the victory club that received financial assistance still unable to get rid of their control, so it was necessary to go to the upper echelons and open the gap from the Football Association.

Although with the slow development of the country, North Korean football continues to emerge some powerful young players, but for the European and American football world, the concept here is still a wild land, except for some Korean clubs with ulterior motives, hoping to poach young players, the North Korean Football Association has received very little attention from abroad, so when the World Cup champion Leboeuf visited the office of the chairman of the Football Association Choi Sang-ryong several times, and invited him to visit London twice, Choi Sang-ryong began to slowly increase his favorability of this English club, and in a casual conversation with Lao Liu, he revealed an important information, North Korea hopes to use high-precision products as an open test product, in other words, it can give a lot of support conditions to world-class companies in this area, and a senior of Choe Sang-ryong University is now in charge of this preparation in the Ministry of Commerce.

At this time, KINGSD, the main sponsor of Willingham, approached Lao Liu, hoping that Lao Liu would help them build the Asian market, which gave Lao Liu an idea of an overall surname.

Due to the quality of his previous work, Lao Liu has an understanding of the world pattern of storage products, and knows that the important reason why it is difficult for other brands of memory card companies to enter the Asian market is that they cannot compete with the reality that nearly half of the world's memory card crystal core production is completed in Asia, Asia's highly dense industrial base and cheap labor characteristics, so that it is difficult for crystal nuclei outside Asia to have price competitiveness, and at the same time, due to crystal core manufacturing, you can control the OEM production of storage products. For local low-end brands, they also have the ability to manage and control, while kingsd is basically blank, so there is basically no possibility for their own products to enter the Asian market.

But on the other hand, the market potential of storage products in Asia is the largest in the world, if this market can not be seized, it is impossible to become the world's top storage company, and South Korea's Samsung, Sony, the United States' Sandisk, there is no strength to call the board, so the most critical thing for Kingsd now is not to sell products, but to lay the foundation.

Kingsd found Lao Liu's original intention, just hope that Lao Liu can seek some large-scale bundled sales orders in the Chinese market through football contact, as for the issue of establishing a production base in Asia that they have been planning, they have not communicated with Lao Liu, their idea is very simple, they have been planning for two years and can not find a suitable place, there is no need to talk about this football.

When Lao Liu found Kingsd with the detailed information of the Ministry of Commerce of the DPRK on the national key support for the production of foreign-funded high-precision products, Mr. Kevin, the president, couldn't believe his eyes, and someone sent a pillow as soon as he fell asleep, but out of ignorance of North Korea, Kevin still couldn't make up his mind to place the production base related to the future development of the group in that mysterious socialist country.

At that time, it was a period of time when Wenger led the team to play relatively easily, and Lao Liu could free up his hands to follow up on this matter with Leboeuf.

The Ministry of Commerce of the DPRK attaches great importance to it, specially invited Kevin to North Korea to investigate, Leboeuf also accompanied him, and finally, Kevin made up his mind, which led to the groundbreaking ceremony of the factory, in order to thank Lao Liu for his help, and need further help from Lao Liu and Choi Sang-long, chairman of the DPRK Football Association with a deep background in the Ministry of Commerce, Kevin and Lao Liu, Choi Shanglong finalized the following things:

1. Lao Liu's Wellingsim Group (Lao Liu is in the upper management company of the club's funds, not controlled by the club, and the shares are completely owned by Lao Liu, and Leboeuf is also the CEO of this group) symbolizes the investment of 3 million pounds, owns 0.5% of the shares of the Kingsd Korean Manufacturing Group, and as a representative of the minority shareholders, can send one person to the board of directors.

2. Kingsd North Korea Manufacturing Group spent 5 million pounds to buy out the sponsorship rights of the North Korean Football Association for ten years, and the official matches played by North Korean national football teams at all levels will be named KINGSD North Korean national team.

3. The North Korean national men's football team and youth team are coached by KINGSD Korean Manufacturing Group and are responsible for all expenses of the coaches.

4. In due course, establish a professional club of Kingsd in North Korea to participate in the first level of football league in North Korea 5. Kingsd North Korean Manufacturing Group will have the responsibility to invite strong club teams from Europe to come to North Korea every year for friendly matches.

In fact, KINGSD's large-scale investment in North Korea this time is not directly related to North Korean football, but Choi Sang-ryong still added these clauses to the overall cooperation framework through his strong personal influence, so that the Football Association has gained huge benefits from it, of course, Choi Sang-ryong's own benefits needless to say.

The internal agreement between Lao Liu and Kevin also made it clear that except for the second point of 5 million pounds by Kingsd, other agreements on football are responsible for the Wellingsim Group.

Kevin also gladly accepted that the five million pounds of advertising effect should still be well worth it.

Lao Liu has already planned it, it doesn't cost much to select a coach, and he can let his favorite players have enough opportunities to play in the national team, and it is even simpler to establish a kingsd club.

And the powerful clubs in Europe come to play friendly matches, haha, isn't it very suitable for Willingham?

In this way, Lao Liu basically controls North Korean football, and as for people like Park Jaehong, as long as there is a chance for them to make a fortune together, will they have other ideas?
