George Norman nodded, a little dazed.
Simon's eyes still fell on the documents in front of him, and he said: "In the end, those people didn't do this. Instead, many children and parents stood up to speak for Michael and proved his innocence. Why do you think this is?"
George Norman did not hesitate this time, and replied: "Because they are also good people."
"Yes, in this world, good people are always at a disadvantage, and those children and parents even resisted the temptation of large sums of money in order to stick to their goodness." Simon's tone was a little bit somber, and then turned slightly cold: "Unfortunately, I Not a nice guy."
George Norman still didn't answer the topic, but asked, "Simon, how long will it take for me?"
"Soon," Simon's tone became flat again: "The next thing you have to do is to deal with the other members of the Spears family. Don't let them be stupid. Bad guys are not so easy to do."
George Norman nodded: "I understand."
Chapter 1202 Disaster?Savior?
Finally, Simon explained a few words to George Norman about the public relations of Pat Kingsley's Westeros effect recently, and then sent the other party away.
When Norman went out, Simon read the documents in his hand, dialed the intercom, and told Girl A: "Help me pick up Soros, and the White House, Bob Rubin... Forget it, let Jim took the time to talk to him."
Girl A agreed, and after a while, Soros' call was transferred.
As soon as he said hello, the old man began to tease Simon's disaster star attribute.It can be felt that Soros is obviously very happy. It is also understandable that Simon, the catastrophe, has brought three kills in stocks, bonds and exchanges in Asia. Even if Hong Kong, the main battlefield, is avoided, the short positions of Quantum Fund in other countries and regions will inevitably reap a lot.
Simon pulled out the roster of Korean chess pieces from the file tray at his feet, chatted with Soros and laughed a few words while choosing, and quickly got to the point: "The plan has changed, George, Hong Kong side, I will discuss it with you. Standing in the C position... Yes, the reputation of the disaster star is not good at all. I can only tell them that Simon Westeros can be both a disaster star and a savior... It is impossible to be too good in a short time The method can only be simple and rude. I will take out a sum of money and buy Hong Kong stocks... Mainland China will also openly increase the stake, but our cooperation will remain the same. By the way, about the new idea of investing in that expressway, you You should have received the materials... Believe me, George, ten years is enough, and you should be able to find that this happens to be a small economic cycle... Of course China is the same. Under the background of globalization, even Africa cannot escape, let alone China... for the time being, I will contact you if there is anything to do."
After hanging up Soros' phone, it took only a moment for the White House connection to be connected again.
Simon picked up the microphone again: "Sorry, Bill, I hope I didn't disturb your dinner time with Hillary... Oh, you are still in the office, what a coincidence, we are all busy people... Well, about Korea, Say hello to you...Bill, of course I understand Korea's strategic significance to the Federation...Well, I don't deny that I was involved in shorting Korea, but I didn't mean to destroy the country...Of course, I promise, Otherwise I wouldn't call you... The problem is time, it's still early, IMF should wait...I know you and Kim Young Sam have reached a tacit agreement, the credit of the federation must be maintained, I mean, let Korea It’s fine for people to repent on their own... Next, I will arrange... Don’t worry, Bill, I will take care of it, and even if the IMF is too late at the critical moment, I will take action... Well, I promise... goodbye."
Hanging up again, Simon called Miss A again, and handed the two names just written according to the chess piece roster to the female assistant, as well as the preliminary negotiation result document between Seoul and Washington: "Notify these two people, operate separately, the core The theme is telling the South Korean people that their president is selling out their country and inciting them to boycott."
Girl A nodded and took it, glanced at the signed names, Guan Siyuan, Quan Zhengting.
The general information of the two chess pieces quickly appeared in my mind.
Guan Siyuan, 32 years old, second-generation mixed-race Korean American, his father is American, and his mother is Korean. He previously worked in Verizon's media and public relations department. He was selected because of his blood and outstanding ability. .
Kwon Jung-jung, 39 years old, Korean native, a director of the Kia Motors marketing department under the Kia Group, the seventh largest chaebol in South Korea that went bankrupt in July, and the father of four children, two of whom are studying in the United States, lost his job two months ago Secretly recruited by the Westeros system.
You can judge by just looking at the conditions of the two of them, and their loyalty is guaranteed.
Nodding her head, girl A turned and went out without saying much.
When I came to my office in the outer room, I personally dialed the phone numbers of the two of them, and began to discuss the details of the arrangement.
Simon's words were very brief, but it didn't hinder Girl A's understanding. What his boss meant was to let these two pawns who are good at dealing with the media release the news that the South Korean president is about to ask for help from the IMF at the cost of giving up South Korea's economic sovereignty. The general public in South Korea, who are unaware of the country's specific economic situation, resisted it.
As for the purpose, it is simpler, but it is to delay the time for South Korea to accept the IMF bailout.
With South Korea's precarious economic situation, every day of delay will reduce the bargaining chips that can be used for negotiations. If they stay on the edge of the cliff, they can only accept more stringent aid conditions.
At that time, the Westeros system will be easier to operate.
After explaining to the two chess pieces that they didn't know each other separately, the second assistant sent another note from the boss, asking them to count the contact information of the main creditors of South Korea's foreign debts. Girl A glanced at the note , wrote a note in his memo, and asked the assistant to execute it.
It is also easy to understand.
The main crisis in South Korea at this stage is not currency depreciation, but foreign debt, especially the huge short-term foreign debt. If it fails to repay in the next few months, South Korea's credit will go bankrupt, which means the bankruptcy of the entire country.
My boss is just in case.
At the critical moment, other people may not be able to have the contact information of these people and make calls, but with the influence of the Westeros system, it is still possible to make the major creditors suspend their debt collection from South Korea.
Asia time is already the morning of October 10.
The news that the Dow Jones circuit breaker level fell the day before in North America came. After the Asian markets opened today, the stock and bond exchanges continued to decline. The only thing that can give people comfort is that today is Friday. No more panic.
Seoul, Korea.
In a five-story gray office building in Yeoksam-dong, Gangnam-gu, where Korean and foreign corporate giants gather, there is a middle-aged man with a square face and gray hair that is only 39 years old this year. After hanging up the phone from North America, he immediately called out Guowai personally gave him his wife who was the secretary, and called everyone to a meeting.
The middle-aged man is Quan Zhengting.
As a middle-level executive of Kia Motors, a subsidiary of Kia Group, which once ranked seventh in South Korea, Quan Zhengting has experienced ups and downs in recent months.
Three months ago, the Asian financial crisis broke out. The Kia Group, which had been entangled in the mud for more than a year, could not continue to support and collapsed. Kia Motors, whose market share in South Korea was second only to Hyundai, was the first to declare bankruptcy, and quickly spread to the Kia Group all other businesses.
At first, everyone was not desperate, thinking that Cheong Wa Dae would come forward to help. Moreover, whether it was Hyundai and Daewoo, the other two major auto giants in South Korea, or even Samsung, which intends to enter the auto industry in recent years, they were all interested in taking over Kia, and even fought openly and secretly for this. , no matter who wins, Kia can actually continue to continue.
At that time, Kia, including Kwon Jeong-jung, worked hard to save the company.
It's a pity that it was in vain after all.
Because of the other three major chaebols' competition for Kia, Cheong Wa Dae has been reluctant to come forward. After all, no matter which one Kia is given to, it will offend the other two. Therefore, Kia lost its last chance to survive, completely collapsed, and entered the liquidation process.
Then came creditor takeovers and unprecedented layoffs.
South Korea follows a lifelong labor system similar to that of Japan. Before that, Kwon Jung-jung, who had worked for Kia with his wife for more than ten years and raised four children, never thought that he would lose his job one day. They are not top-notch, but they also belong to the management team. They live a very good life. For the education of future generations, they even sent one of their four children to the United States to study in high school.
When the Quanzhengting couple lost their jobs, it happened to be the time when a son and a daughter in the United States were about to pay a total of 8 US dollars in tuition fees, plus living expenses, and the two children in China who also attended elementary and junior high schools in expensive private schools. Just this part of the expenditure caused Quan Zhengting to worry about a bunch of gray hairs in just a few days.
The savings at home are only enough for the next living expenses.
The husband and wife have two cars, and they are not worth much if they are sold.
The last possession is a 260-square-meter high-rise mansion in Sinsa-dong overlooking the Han River. This is the most proud asset of the husband and wife over the years. It was worth as much as 6.5 million won a year ago. At that time, the exchange rate was more than $80.Now, due to the economic crisis, not to mention that the price of that house has fallen by 30%, it is still in the local currency. Moreover, even if they are willing to sell, unless the price is lowered, no one will take over in the short term.
During that time, more than once, Quan Zhengting looked at the Banpo Bridge on the nearby Han River from the French windows of his house, and wanted to drive over it, so he kicked the accelerator.
Never have these troubles again.
Just when the couple made a decision to take their children back to the United States, sell the house, and the wife took the children back to their hometown in Daegu, and when Liuquan Zhengting was trying to find a job here, the peak turned around.
Someone unexpectedly approached him and offered Quan Zhengting a new job.
Let him set up a consulting company alone to investigate and collect some information about Kia and other consortiums.
Quan Zhengting has been in the workplace for so many years and has seen a lot of knowledge. He quickly realized that something was wrong. What the other party asked him to do, to put it bluntly, was commercial espionage.
However, thinking of the inaction of the government during the collapse of Asia and the intrigue of chaebols such as Hyundai and Samsung who disregarded the jobs of more than [-] people for their own interests, Quan Zhengting quickly passed certain psychological thresholds. After all, what else does he have now? Lost?
What's more, the other party directly offered him an annual salary of 1 million won, which was more than 30% higher than when he was in Kia.
This is what he needs most.
Therefore, in order to keep this job, for the sake of his family, and even for the hatred accumulated in his heart, Quan Zhengting worked hard for several months, worked day and night, and even used all means to dig up a large amount of information and send it up.
