Chapter 1522 Our Own People (First Update, Please Subscribe)
"The prosperity of the world is all for profit; the hustle and bustle of the world is all for profit."

Most people do things with a purpose.

For Ma Zhiwei, the reason why he came here was very simple, which was to use the power of the expert group to get involved in highway engineering.

As an ordinary businessman, it was difficult for him to get involved in such a large project, especially in another country.

However, unlike ordinary people... he is not Korean, and as a businessman from SEA, he has the opportunity to get involved in this business.

This opportunity was simple. As long as he got the support of Rudolph and others, he would definitely have the opportunity to enter this industry.

"You should know that projects like this that are financed by loans from the Asian Development Bank are usually undertaken by SEA companies."

To a certain extent, the Asian Development Bank is a tool for SEA to expand overseas. While providing loans to other countries for projects such as railways, highways, ports and mineral resource development through the Asian Development Bank, SEA's companies are responsible for the construction of these projects as direct contractors.

To a certain extent, it is a game of transferring from one hand to the other, but while this game is going on, those countries will be burdened with heavy debts and they will also gain modern infrastructure.

Rudolph said:
"Not every company in SEA has such qualifications."

"Oh, of course I do."

Ma Zhiwei nodded repeatedly and said.

"But I'm from a Korean company."

His answer directly confused Rudolph. Wow, this guy's wishful thinking was actually here!

Although those infrastructure projects are undertaken by SEA's large construction companies, in order to facilitate local business and to maintain good relations with local governments, they will cooperate with local companies. Those companies are a mixed bag, with some really capable ones and some officials' white gloves.

All of this is inevitable in business transactions, and it is also the unspoken rule. And this is exactly the role that Ma Zhiwei wants to play.

Although he is from SEA, it does not prevent him from registering a Korean company in South Korea and then participating in the highway project as a Korean company.

After looking at the other person seriously for a moment, Rudolph nodded and said.

"Well, Mr. Ma, if this project can be implemented, then yes, you have a chance. Um..."

When he said this, Rudolph stood up and said to Ma Zhiwei.

"Just leave your business card with my assistant, and he will contact you later."

Rudolph looked at the time again and said:
"Okay, I'm going to the Blue House now."

Before turning around to leave, Rudolph glanced at Ma Zhiwei and said to him:
"I think Commander Park should thank you."

Park Jung-woong really needs to express his gratitude to Ma Zhiwei. After all, Rudolph had already made his judgment based on the data that South Korea is not suitable for building highways now, but Ma Zhiwei successfully convinced him.

Although he is an engineer, Rudolph is very clear about the difference between investing in the present and investing in the future, and investing in the future can bring more substantial returns.

And South Korea undoubtedly has a future.

In fact, Rudolph is very familiar with Asian countries. In his opinion, countries like the Philippines, Cambodia, and Myanmar have no future at all. Maybe they seem good now, but with the development, they will eventually be eliminated.

Because. Countries that do not attach importance to education will eventually be eliminated. This is a truth that has been proven time and time again by history.

Although South Korea is still very poor, we can conclude that this country has certain development potential because they attach great importance to education.

"I will mention you to Commander Park later when I see him."

After that, Rudolph turned and left, leaving Ma Zhiwei alone in the reception room. Although he did not get an accurate answer, through Rudolph's answer, Ma Zhiwei knew that the matter was settled.

Many times things are always so unexpected. Just when Park Jung-woong thought his highway dream was shattered, Rudolph told him good news at a reception held in the Blue House.

"Mr. President, although Korea is not suitable for building expressways in many aspects, I think it is necessary for Korea to build expressways considering its economic development and future."

Looking at the South Korean president who once shed tears in front of him, Rudolf continued.

"So after I return home, I will ask the Asian Development Bank to provide your country with a loan for the Busan-Incheon expressway project."

Rudolph's answer made Park Jung-woong so excited that he could hardly control his emotions. His thin body was shaking slightly uncontrollably. He bowed deeply to Rudolph again and said:

"Thank you, Mr. President. This is the best news I have ever heard. Thank you."

Listening to Park Jung-woong's thanks, Rudolf smiled and said:

"Sir, if you must thank someone, you should thank another person. He was the one who convinced me."

Although Rudolph did not mention Ma Zhiwei's name, he believed that Park Jung-woong would be able to find it out with his ability.

So there is no need to say much.

The next morning, Rudolph and his entourage flew back to Chang'an. At the same time, a convoy drove out of the Blue House and arrived at the Incheon Industrial Zone. Park Jung-ung, the President of South Korea, once again came here for an inspection, and among the objects of the inspection was Weida Clothing Company.

"Oh my, our Weida Clothing is really amazing. Even the president came to inspect our company."

Although Lee did not see the president in the welcoming crowd, he was still excited. Like many Koreans, Lee had served in the military and believed that a soldier could better lead the country by replacing President Park and his reformist government.

Now that he knew the president was coming to inspect the company, how could he not be excited?

"Iron Man, I didn't lie to you, did I? Their company is definitely the best. Even the president is here."

While Jin Renchang was showing off, his eyes kept looking at Li Jiamei beside him. He was determined to get this flower.

"Yeah yeah,"

When Li Tienan nodded, everyone, like everyone else, applauded loudly to welcome the president.

As in his previous factory inspections, Park Jung-woong gave the workers a brief speech, encouraging them to work hard, produce more products, export them abroad, and earn more foreign exchange.

In a word, it is to instill the national spirit into the cattle and horses, and tell them that your efforts today are for a better life for you and your descendants tomorrow.

This kind of rhetoric is common all over the world.

But even if it is just rhetoric, it still arouses people's yearning for national honor and national prosperity.

Just a few simple words were like a shot of chicken blood for Weida Garment and other Korean workers - an unprecedented sense of mission permeated everyone's heart.

"…The reason why we work in factories with blood and sweat today is to strive for a better future for our children and grandchildren."

When Li Tienan and his team were excited by the president's speech and determined to continue to work hard and be the cows and horses of South Korea because of the president's encouragement, in the manager's office of Weida Clothing Company, Park Zhengxiong looked at Ma Zhiwei in front of him and said:
"Thank you for your help, sir."

Just as Rudolph thought, Park Jung-woong quickly figured out who helped him convince Rudolph.

This led to this trip to Incheon Industrial Zone.

“Mr. President, you are too kind, I just did what I was supposed to do.

The most important thing is that Mr. President, your reforms have allowed the whole world to see the potential for development in South Korea.”

Without taking credit for himself, Ma Zhiwei knew very well what he should say after dealing with these South Korean officials over the years.

In short, just flatter.

Park Jung-woong smiled at the compliment. He looked at the foreign businessman in front of him and said:

"Mr. Ma, thank you for your compliment. Well, since you have done so much for us, is there anything I can do for you?"

coming!

finally come.

Ma Zhiwei took a deep breath, bowed slightly, and then said:

“Mr. President, I believe that the Asian Development Bank will approve Korea’s expressway plan soon.

By then, South Korea will definitely have a construction company involved. If possible, Mr. President, please give this project to me."

Listening to Ma Zhiwei's request, Park Zhengxiong frowned slightly and thought for a while before he spoke.

"Mr. Ma, you should know that this project involves a lot of people. In addition to overseas companies, Korean companies are also needed to participate. And your company..."

Just when Park Jung-woong was about to say that your company is a foreign-funded company, Ma Zhiwei said.

“Mr. President, my company is a Korean company!

Although I am a foreigner, I have lived in Korea for so many years and have long considered myself a part of this place.

My company is also a Korean company registered in Korea.”

The first half of the sentence may not be true, but the second half is certainly correct.

After a moment of silence, although he really wanted to hand over this project to a Korean company, considering that the project required loans and technology from overseas, a "Korean company" with a SEA background would undoubtedly be more suitable to undertake this project.

"Well, if the project can be approved,"

With a slight nod of his head, Park Jung-woong agreed.

"This project will be handed over to your company. I hope Chairman Ma can lead Korean companies to complete the construction of our first expressway in Korea."

Before, he was Mr. Ma, and now he has become Chairman Ma. Obviously, Park Jung-woong has regarded this foreigner in front of him as "one of his own".

Sometimes the wings of a butterfly always flutter inadvertently, affecting the world and all the people in the world in a way that ordinary people can hardly predict.

On this day, the fate of many people in South Korea changed, and even the fate of South Korea inadvertently moved in another direction.
