Going Into the World!

Moon Taeho, president of Beijing, Daewoo Group, has been unable to sleep comfortably for the past two months. I thought it was a process for leapfrogging up just once when I was deployed to Beijing in recognition of my skills at the company. However, last November, Daewoo Group's bankruptcy from South Korea was not exactly a thunderbolt in the middle of the night.

At the end of October, just before bankruptcy, when I visited China and carried on to Yenthai to visit the new auto parts factory, I didn't notice anything like that. By the way, who knew it would happen in just a migration?

As Daewoo suffered a liquidity crisis and its affiliates were struggling, the government and bonds had thought, 'What's going to happen? What's going to happen?'

"Wow! Who knew the treatment group would be so bankrupt? ’

To be honest, most people were not the first to see the collapse of Daewoo Group, which was not realistic at first, neither was Ahn Jae-gu. Perhaps, if it hadn't been for the newspapers, he would have lied.

After the announcement, the storm was bigger than I thought. In addition to the immediate shaking of the staff, all the operations in China were shaken. When they contacted the heads of Yenthai's parts factories, Daewoo Heavy Industries and other companies, they had nothing to know but comfort each other.

One time, I overheard people talking, and everyone was anxious.

“So, what happens to us? ”

“What's next month's salary? We're headquarters, aren't we? Are we getting our operating expenses next month? ”

“Dae-ri Kim, is there a problem with the operating expenses? They might shut this place down and evacuate. Then we have nowhere to go. ”

“Should I start preparing for a new job? ”

Employees were concerned about the career path of the main staff or the local staff, but Moon Taeho could not blame them for the same situation, regardless of rank height. In fact, I was just waiting because there were no special instructions from the headquarters, but if I was in Seoul, I could figure out what was going on, so I couldn't be better.

I was running out of money and was waiting for some specific articles about the acquisition of Daewoo Group in December, and one day it was published in a newspaper.

< Find a new owner for Daewoo Group >

< Johnston Group, Chairman Ildu Kim >

< Johnstone Group, Daewoo Affiliates Individual Acquisition >

< Daewoo group disassembly procedure >.

Over the next few days, there was a history and articles about a new company, which grew to become a major venture capitalist in the United States in just a few years, leading four companies now with only billions of dollars in wealth.

"Huff-puff, how can the numbers compare to the national treasury? What's more private property than our foreign exchange? ’

Chaebol is usually the offspring of people who took part in the daily life or have been in power for decades after the protest, but the newly elected chairman... I can't imagine why.

I called the boss who was in Seoul before I was thirsty for new information, but he told me to work hard and just wait, because it was not decided except for a few companies as it appeared in the newspaper.

“Yes? You? You're coming tomorrow?” I got a call yesterday from group headquarters.

“Tomorrow you'll be flying to Beijing on the Goldman Sachs private jet. I was told that you're visiting someone in the government tomorrow, but I don't know the details of what happened next. We appreciate your attention to the Hyatt hotel. ”

The telephone explains the schedule and visit plans of the group's real-world Head of Resident Planning.

“Yes, yes. Okay, I'll do that. ”

I guess I was nervous about the phone call. After you hang up, you take a breath.

‘Huh. Maybe we should go early tomorrow? If we travel together, we can still get information, right? For the last two months, I thought I was losing my mind. ’

Welcoming a new chairman that I didn't even know was easy, but I thought it would be better because there was still a chance.

As a young chairman, I thought that if I asked him when I had the chance, he would give me the least information.

After arriving in Beijing, Mr. Paulson's group and I head to the promised corridor to meet the people. Jim was able to move comfortably because he had already been told that the attendants would take it to the hotel.

I don't know why it's not a hotel, I don't know why it's not a government office, I don't know why I'm meeting you in a hall, but this is how I do business in China. A single, luxurious, yet secret passageway leads us to the inner chamber.

“Mr. King, good to see you again. How are you?" Paulson says hello first.

“Oh, Henry, it's good to see you. Let's get inside. Haha.”

The two of them are talking and the translator is busy following them in the middle. They don't speak a good language, but they seem to be friendly in their own way. Well, it's a win-win, I'm sure.

The person named Wangchisan suddenly appeared to have a slight feeling of chaotic skin. Hmm. I heard you like mean jokes. Something like that. This is my first impression.

I was not the protagonist, so I followed behind without saying a word. Everyone seems to think he's an attendant. That's when mr. Paulson introduced me.

“Here's someone I'd like you to meet. ”

“Who? This... person?"

The monarch who was staring at me at the gesture of Mr. Paulson's hand is a curious look.

Wang Chisan is now a supporter of Guangdong Province until last year, and has been appointed to the Office of Justice for the State Department of Economic Affairs. That's why they call him the King's Master.

“Nice to meet you. John Kim.” I said hello in Chinese.

“Oh, you speak Chinese? Greetings.” The prince looks back at me, slightly surprised as I speak Chinese.

Recently, I studied Chinese so hard that I could find a simple greeting or a place to go on the road. Of course, I can't hear you if I speak just a little fast.

“Did you learn Chinese? Haha. Amazing.” Paulson praises me too.

“And what did Mr. Lipton say? ”

He said, "Yes! ’It is a face. Maybe Mr. Ripton talked about me, but he didn't hear I was coming with Mr. Paulson this time.

I go inside and sit down to get my tea, but I don't even ask for coffee. These humans have no consideration yet. Because they like cars, it's like, "When you come to Rome, follow the magic." Is this also the hubris of the medieval idea?

The king and Paulson asked each other how things were going, and they talked about the changes, but I was listening to them, and after a while the prince spoke to me.

“I heard you're a famous venture capitalist in Silicon Valley, but you look younger than you think. Haha. Of course, I'm interested in Silicon Valley. There are a lot of young people out there who are changing the world. We are learning in our own way for the progress of China. ”

He briefly talked about the Silicon Valley and the Internet revolution he knew, but he seemed to know something about the Chinese bureaucrats. He said he was interested in China's economic development, and it seems to be true.

“It's time for China to change, too. Otherwise, they fall behind the world. Still, there's nothing to worry about in China, since someone as resourceful as His Majesty is in the government.” I secretly commended the King's insight and insight.

I had already figured out his disposition, so I rolled my tongue to match it. Heh heh.

“Oh, it feels good to hear from a successful venture captains. Haha.” The king's master laughs loudly at my compliments.

“No. In fact, most Chinese bureaucrats are domestic. I have no experience studying abroad, and it's not easy to see the world from a broad perspective. It's a patriot who knows the changes of the world as well as the king. It's really nice to meet an amazing person today. ”

Most of the senior officials nowadays are actually uneducated due to the revolution. But this much I know. I feel like it sounded more serious and I'm growing fond of myself.

“Haha. This is forbidden to each other's faces.” Paulson was also talking next to me.

The first meeting was a great opportunity. I was able to understand the nature of the King's Master in detail, and he made a good impression on me. Ah, of course, the biggest thing I thought would help each other was the introduction of Mr. Lipton, Mr. Paulson's recommendation, and that I already had quite a reputation, and the companies were well known.

In the meantime, I was told to contact you if I needed help, and received a few working-class contacts. And by the time I got out, I had also received a contact from a youth group in the Communist Party, who said it was a friend's son.

When I returned to the hotel, five or six people approached me from the lobby.

“Chairman, I'm Moon Taeho, President of Beijing, Daewoo Group. And this is the Vice President and Head of Domestic Affairs, and that's the interpreter and the secretary. ”

Last week, I called the Head of Foreign Assembly to tell him that I was going to China, and he said he would contact Beijing, but he brought people out just in time.

I was on one or two dates with Mr. Paulson, but the rest of me thought I needed someone to work with on my own.

Since Daewoo has offices all over the world, this is really convenient. I feel relieved to say that there are people everywhere who will be my hands and feet.

“Ah, Ms. Moon, nice to meet you. Others said,” I was happy to say hello. We'll see if we can get him into the Johnstone Group later, but he needs me now.

“This way, please. I rented a conference room while I was in the living room. ”

Following Moon, I see rooms where I can see work or hold meetings, one of which is marked with the sign "Johnstone Group."

‘Huh. This guy's really ready. I thought I might need an office. ’

The room has a desk and a small conference room for me to sit in. When I came here, I was worried I had to do some work in the hotel room, but it was a useless slope. Everyone is on their own because of the existing presence. Maybe this is what he did when the former chairman came.

“I like it. I just needed an office, which is great. ”

When I was satisfied and praised, I saw a happy light on Moon's face.

“Yes, please let me know if you need anything. The interpreter and the secretary will remain out here in the office. And if you have a schedule, I'll do it. ”

Moon showed his willingness to actively help me.

“Thank you. We're done for the day. I'm meeting someone here tomorrow, so I'd appreciate it if you could reach out to them.” I gave Robin Lee and Clarkson her friend's contact information. ”

“Yes, I understand. Yes.” Moon's face is full of sad eyes, and I'd probably like to have more conversation with him, but I'm pretty tired of talking to old flights and new people, so I sent him back.

The next morning, I was looking at reports related to the workplace in China sent by the Head of Foreign Assembly and Moon, respectively, and my secretary brought something with her.

“Chairman, here's the file on Jack Ma. ”

Last week, I asked chief of staff to look into a friend named Jack Mare who Clarkson introduced me to, and I brought him back to work late.

[majored in English at Hangzhou University. He also served as an English teacher at the university for three years, then quit his job and started a Chinese Yellow Page site in '95. From' 98 to '99, he quit his job as president of a Chinese government-sponsored information processing venture and founded Alibaba .com with U.S. $100,000 in capital last year. The United States has also visited several times.]

He was an English teacher and he developed an Internet site. That's amazing. ’An unusual career owner, I wonder how Yahoo could have uncovered this possibility in the backward country of China in' 95.

The information gathered in a short time was a thin report, but the content was quite interesting.

‘This guy was born in the United States, and if only he had a little more computer talent, he'd be a great guy. Man's luck is of the essence. When and where is life. If I was in Korea, I'd be a completely different person, right? ’

As I read Jack Ma's résumé, a smile spreads over my mouth.

In the report, Jack Ma initially established an Internet company by bringing in his friends, despite his lack of programming. I also visited Silicon Valley to conceive of my current business.

“This is quite the thrust, isn't it? I can't believe you're going through all this with nothing. He's a really nice guy. Can we establish Robin as a hostile? ”

Robin has outstanding head and development skills, whereas Jack Ma is an owner of insight and momentum. This looks like something to draw, but I need to see it first.

I was sitting in the conference room after lunch, and my secretary brought in a Chinese man. According to the watch, it looks like a friend named Jack Mara.

“Chairman, I have a guest for you. ”

“Ah, Ms. Grant, have a seat. ”

“Nice to meet you. I'm Jack Ma. You're the chairman of Johnston Group, right? I heard from Mr. Clarkson. It's a pleasure to meet such a famous person. ”

Jack Ma was a little tall and thin, with his face completely square and short hair. He is the owner of the impression that Clarkson would have ignored if he hadn't heard of him in advance.

"Wow, what a cartoon character this is! That's completely different from what I heard. ’

“You speak fluent English?” I was a little surprised that Jack Ma's pronunciation was better than I expected.

“Yes, but wasn't I an English teacher? Haha.”

Phew! Not all of them speak English because they're English teachers. Unexpectedly, I remember the middle school English teacher I went to in Korea reading the textbook as it is.

We already knew some things about each other, so we didn't have to do a search. They gave and received a short greeting and shared stories about each other's business.

“Chairman Kim wonders how you raised such contentious businesses in such a short time. Can we find out the secret? She asked me a question, and I could feel jealous of her voice.

“Haha. Lucky me. The next thing is timing and skill. No matter how good it is, someone will pick it up in no time. And if you don't want to miss it, you need to have something to back it up, right? Haha. I've been boasting about this. ”

His eyes glaze over whether he listens to me or not.

I don't mean to, but I feel like China's business story is growing. I feel like my writing is getting tougher personally.

He's a virgin writer, so he's a bit of a fixer-upper.
