20 years of restarting life

Chapter 3306 Jin Shengyu

After the banquet, Zhao Changan returned to his hotel room, washed his face and sobered up. Although he didn't drink much that night, he still had two drinks.

The more important reason for washing his face was that Zhao Changan was going to meet Jin Shengyu, but he actually didn't want to meet him.

Zhao Changan called Jin Shengyu and sat in the hotel lobby for a while. Then he received a call from Jin Shengyu saying that he had arrived.

When we went outside, the nights here were obviously several degrees colder than those on Jeju Island. The air exhaled from the mouth and nostrils turned into small mist droplets when it got cold.

He saw Jin Shengyu leaning against a car, smoking, and from a distance he could smell a sense of decadence and sadness.

-

"Two and a half years ago, when you asked me to help you contact several game companies such as Webzen, I could never have imagined that you would reach your current height in such a short time."

Zhao Changan sat in the passenger seat while Jin Shengyu drove, feeling deeply moved.

"Compared with you, LG, and Samsung, there is still a certain distance."

Zhao Changan was not being modest, but was speaking the truth.

"We don't produce mobile phones, and we won't enter this field to compete with you. If you take over Donghai Chemical, then maybe we can become partners."

Jin Shengyu obviously didn't understand what Zhao Changan said: "And now in terms of output value, RIM is indeed far behind Samsung and even LG's mobile phone department. But I won't be surprised if you surpass them in the next few years."

Zhao Changan smiled and said LG and SAMSUNG, not LG's MC and SAMSUNG mobile phones.

However, if he said this out loud, it would be like if he had told others a year ago that he wanted to swallow up RIM, which had a market value of nearly $10 billion. People would think he was incredibly arrogant.

"You are very busy this time, otherwise I can take you and your friends and colleagues around. The scenery and customs are very different from your country."

"Haha, my colleagues watched your Chiguli folk talent show yesterday, and they were so spicy that they left in embarrassment after watching it for only a few minutes."

"Haha, even I can't stand this. I'm a local born and raised here."

Jin Shengyu also laughed after hearing this: "But later you can see our real high art, not the feudal dregs evaluated in your history books."

The two chatted enthusiastically and soon arrived at a teahouse by the river. This teahouse was built in an antique style. The entire four-story building was hung with colorful lights, which reflected the river beautifully in the night.

Jin Shengyu had reserved a seat in advance, which was the best room on the fourth floor facing the river. The area inside was not small, and there was a small stage where a musician sat and several beautiful women in Korean traditional costumes that were not too revealing were dancing.

The two of them drank tea, admired the beauty's talent, and chatted casually.

There are some things that Jin Shengyu doesn't bring up actively, and Zhao Changan doesn't want to say them either.

Instead, I was thinking about things with a heavy heart.

Today I visited LG's MC manufacturing plant. Although as a time traveler, Zhao Changan is not worried that domestic TV manufacturers will be slaughtered by TFT-LCD panel manufacturers in Europe, America, Japan and South Korea within the next few years, he still feels depressed.

Many things, if viewed from a longer time perspective, the joys and sorrows, hard work and happiness of people living in a short period of time, a few years or even a decade, are actually meaningless, as long as they can get a good result in the end. And Zhao Changan naturally knew the result. In the next few years, facing the aggressiveness of Japanese and Korean TFT-LCD panel factories, domestic TVs and computers also began to use LCD screens, and eliminated the bulky and old CRT monitors.

For a time, all the major domestic television manufacturers, which had been making rapid progress, were dumbfounded.

In recent years, the price war started by Changhong has quickly driven out almost all foreign brands of CRT monitors. Before domestic TV manufacturers could even begin to breathe a sigh of relief, they were told from the blue that CRT monitors had become an outdated technology and would be completely eliminated.

Zhao Changan remembers a set of data that shows that CRT monitors still account for more than 96% of the market share of televisions and desktop computers around the world.

Because the manufacturing cost and defective rate will increase significantly with each inch increase in the size of the TFT-LCD panel.

However, five years later, the global CRT monitor market share in the television and computer screen market had shrunk sharply to 11%.

In other words, those companies that were still engaged in fierce price wars, borrowing money from banks with high debt ratios, and expanding the production capacity of CRT TVs and computer monitors some time ago, simply woke up and were horrified to find that they were about to go bankrupt due to insolvency.

The solution to this problem is to take advantage of the fact that the people in the country have just become wealthy, especially in the vast rural areas where the penetration rate of television is still very low. Therefore, subsidies for the sale of color TVs in rural areas were started, which prevented all domestic TV factories from going bankrupt.

Just as some experts and scholars who cannot be said to have no concerns about their own words have proposed, older rural farmers should be given a pension equivalent to the standard for retired employees of urban enterprises.

The reason is that in order to support the country's industrial development, a huge gap was formed between agricultural and sideline products and industrial products.

This argument and mention naturally has its reasons, and it is also a good thing.

But if we give hundreds of millions of elderly farmers pensions on the same basis as retired urban workers, who will get the money?
According to Zhao Changan, everyone should be able to live a life as luxurious as an emperor.

But what about the resources? Can experts provide them?

Money is not just a piece of white paper with money printed on it. If it were that simple, I would take a piece of white paper, print a hundred zeros on it and put a '1' in front of it, then I could buy the whole world.

Moreover, Zhao Changan's peers are also suffering from the pressures of real estate, cars, face, and tutoring classes for their children.

Some truths cannot be explained too clearly, otherwise Zheng Banqiao would say that it is rare to be confused. But he was a celebrity and the magistrate of Weixian County. Later, he lived in Yangzhou and made a living by selling paintings. It was okay for him to be confused. He had food and drink and lived a more comfortable life than most of his contemporaries.

"Why, your face looks so heavy?"

Jin Shengyu looked at Zhao Changan and asked, "What are you thinking about so seriously?"

Since he didn't want to mention the woman's name, Zhao Changan simply shared his thoughts with Jin Shengyu.

I'm not looking for help or a solution. There are only ten cakes in this place, and that's all the resources. No one can do anything about it.

"I understand what you're saying. Just like in Seoul, girls desperately try to get plastic surgery. They even spend all their family's money and take out loans for plastic surgery. Their goal is to marry into a good family or become a star. Men study very hard just to get a lawyer, doctor, or prosecutor. But when most people are so eager to get their money's worth, and are brainwashed and money-laundered by tutoring classes, beauty salons, and other institutions, people ignore one problem: is it just to be cut and suffer like this in this life?"

Then, Jin Shengyu suddenly changed the subject and asked, "Have you contacted your senior sister during this period?"

Zhao Changan shook his head and didn't want to say anything more, but he sighed in his heart. Jin Shengyu still couldn't let go of this matter!
