– Yes? Oh. Already?

– Of course. Of course. Didn’t Chairman Jeong Min-gi of MF Group become a high-ranking official of the Communist Party this time? Of course, we should give him this much convenience. Don’t worry. Hahaha.

– Anyway, thank you. Then I will proceed with it as I understand it. And the gift for ‘Gwansi’ that you mentioned last time is ready, so I will bring it to Beijing soon…

– Oh my. What are you talking about? Why is that between us? We don’t need that anymore. Chairman Jeong is much higher up than the executives who are trying to maintain the relationship, so we don’t need that anymore. If you feel offended, please understand that it was just a custom.

– Ah~! Yes. I understand. Are you sure it’s okay? Later again…..

– Of course. Don’t worry. If there was anything that upset you in the past, please forget it. Rather, in the future, we will……….(omitted).

“Sir, I just spoke with a Chinese government official, ‘Yuan Jiadioliang.’”

“Why? You’re picking on China again? How much money are you going to get? Isn’t this too much? Why would you do business in China like this? You have to do it in moderation. Moderation….”

“No, that’s not it. It’s not necessary. And the permit will be issued within this week.”

“Huh? What does that mean?”

“Chairman Jeong Min-gi of the headquarters was recently appointed as an honorary member of the Communist Party Central Committee. So I think it will end at lightning speed…”

“Was that really a viable position?”

“Of course. The 200th place in the Communist Party hierarchy is just that, the 200th place in China, a country with a population of 1 billion. Now our business is going at breakneck speed. I’m not some local assemblyman stuck in a corner. I’m a member of the Central Committee. The Chinese division of Korea MF Distribution has now gained wings. From now on, I won’t need any gifts or travel expenses. Instead, I’m begging you to take good care of me. On the contrary, I’m whining that I can’t form a relationship with Chairman Jeong…

In addition, although it was officially announced that he had a private meeting with Premier Li, it is said that he actually met secretly with Chairman Xi Dingping. Rumors spread all over Beijing. A (honorary) Central Committee member personally taken care of by Chairman Xi. Wow~”

“Was that the size of the place? Hmm……”

– Ring ring ring ring. Ring ring ring.

“Huh? Manager Choi. Wait a minute. What’s going on with this guy? He hasn’t called me in a while.”

– Hello? Uh. Is it Min-gu?

– Yeah. Right. Huh? What? Yeah. That’s right. But will that work? No?? Hmm. I can’t handle this on my own, so I’ll report it to the manager and get back to you. Yeah. Okay. Don’t worry. Okay. Okay. I’ll definitely go. Yeah. Okay. See you then~

Manager Kang hung up the phone and thought about it for a moment.

“hmm…..”

“Who is it?”

“I have a classmate. He goes to Seongsam Electronics… He used to brag about going to Seongsam all this time….”

“But? I thought the call was asking for something from the manager?”

“There seems to be a lawsuit going on at the Chinese division of Sungsam Electronics. There’s someone who, similar to Sungsam Electronics, slyly registered a trademark by adding “Sungsamwoo (雨)” to it first. However, the Trademark Review and Adjudication Board of the State Administration for Industry and Commerce of China has given them a somewhat unfavorable ruling. They’re appealing, though. Are you asking for my help with this? It’s such an absurd and far-fetched argument that you can win if you just help them a little.”

“Why are you asking the manager for something like that?”

“He didn’t ask me to do it, but to make a position with his superiors. I guess he’s in charge of that. But since our head office’s president, Jeong, is a member of the central committee, he has a chance.”

“What will you get in return for helping me with that, sir?”

“Since it’s official, let’s make it a two-way deal? That’s not to say that it’s a cost. Instead, you’re saying that you’ll calculate the value and compensate me more later. And it’s a deal with Seongsam. You’re holding a card that can be used to get concessions from Seongsam at any time. Then I’ll fall. No, it’s not just a fall. If I do this well, I might even get a star (executive)?”

“Hey, Manager. I just connected you to the higher-ups, but why is that piece of cake falling on you?”

“Hey~! Why are you talking like that? Are you unhappy with me becoming an executive?”

“Hey~ No way. I’m doing this because I like it. Because I like it. It makes me feel so good.”

– Ring ring ring ring. Ring ring ring.

“Huh? Wait a minute. I got a call too. Huh? Isn’t this senior driving a Jeon-dae car? What’s going on?”

“Take it. It’s okay.”

– Ah~! Brother. Yes. How are you? Yes? Yes. That’s right? Oh~! China? Is there a problem with the squadron? I know. ‘Beijing squadron’. What did you say? No…. Wow~ That was a bit harsh. Oh. Of course. But is this official? Of course. We need to handle it officially. Yes. That’s right. Then please write up a proposal and send it to me. Yes. Understood. Of course. To my email. Yes…..

“Manager Choi. What are you saying? Are you asking me to send Jeon Dae-jae’s car to you because of your business in China?”

“Yes, that’s right. It seems like there’s a lot of stuff piled up in China during that time. It’s similar. Manager. Shouldn’t we formally establish a business division instead of secretly asking for this? A business division for handling complaints from China… something like that.”

“In this atmosphere, that joke could really become reality. I’ll go and report to the managing director first. When we go to the managing director’s office together, tell him what you asked me to do. I’ll have to give him a verbal report first.”

Now Korean companies are screaming with joy.

There are countless Korean companies that have advanced into China.

However, China’s stubbornness, recklessness, bias, discrimination, etc. are astounding.

Well, if it’s at the level of Gwansi, then that might be possible.

This is so unreasonable. There is no such unreason.

Every time you apply for something or get permission, the amount of money that goes into it is no joke.

It would be better if I could pay it off with money.

It’s basic to put it off by making excuses, and if it seems like something useful, you just run away with it.

For example, when Company AA entered China, it developed a new technology and, since it would mainly do business in China in the future, it applied for a patent in ‘China’ before other countries.

The plan is to first apply for patents in China, where the business will be conducted, and then slowly apply for patents in Korea, Japan, the United States, Europe, etc. once the patents are issued.

But this was a fatal mistake, and it came back as a huge aftermath.

I went to OO Patent Specialized Chinese Law Firm through an introduction from a government official in charge of patent applications and entrusted them with all tasks related to patent applications, but no matter how much time passed, the patent did not come out.

The work was progressing so slowly that I went back to the law firm and they said that patents usually take about a year, so I waited.

However, after more than a year had passed and the patent had not been issued, I looked into it through other sources and found out that the patent had already been issued some time ago under the name of a Chinese company, not under the name of Company AA.

The patent was stolen.

AA Company protested several times to the Chinese Ministry of Commerce and Industry and other agencies, but received no relief.

He was treated as a ‘fraudster’ because he did not even apply for a patent in other countries.

A place where this kind of thing happens frequently is China.

Rather, large corporations are better off because they have a friendly relationship with the Communist Party.

From the beginning, it is only because it costs a lot of money to introduce a Communist Party cadre to get things done, or because there is a change in policy at the party level due to national crisis, that things get complicated.

The damage to small and medium-sized businesses is indescribable.

There are countless great interpersonal experiences gained by advancing into China simply due to cheap labor and reduced factory setup and operating costs.

Even large corporations are shaking in fear at China’s outrageous tyranny, let alone small and medium-sized enterprises.

But the number came out because of the MF group.

MF Group Korea, the Korean branch of MF, operates MF Mart in China.

It is to take over what Lore had originally run and continue to run it.

As the successor to Lore, Korea MF Group has connections with existing large corporations.

It is not simply that MF Group Chairman Jeong Min-gi was appointed as a ‘Central Committee member.’

If that’s the case, there’s no room to attack. There’s no connection.

However, the Korean MF group that emerges when expanded is different.

It’s already a tangled mess.

Thanks to this, the business division in charge of the Chinese business of the Korea MF Group was so busy with requests for cooperation that came pouring in from all levels of the society.

– Min-ki.

– Yes, Father. Go ahead.

– First of all, congratulations on being appointed as a ‘Central Committee member’ in China.

– Oh, no. Don’t mention it.

– So what I’m saying is, you know about the Chinese government, the Communist Party, the police, local leaders, etc., and their tyranny over companies that have advanced into China, right?

– Yeah. Well, it’s kind of like that. But?

– Yeah. After you took over that position, the Chinese business of the Korean MF Group, of course, was resolved very quickly. That’s what I’m thinking, but other companies are in trouble? They’re asking for help. It’s not like you’re going to contact them directly. Can I use your influence? That’s about it.

– What will happen if I help you with that?

– Yes. It has enormous tangible and intangible value. Through that, you can get a lot of concessions in other overlapping businesses. If not, you can just process it as an expense and get it. Rather, it becomes a business network. Anyway, it is very helpful for business. It is a bit strange because it is done by selling my son’s name. What do you think?

– I don’t care. Instead, clearly distinguish between what we get in return for helping? Is it worth helping? Is there more we can receive? Etc. You’re not going to do charity work, are you? Instead, use good judgment so that it doesn’t get overused. It’s not about helping to push things forward, but about clearing up blockages. It’s about resolving unfair treatment. Do you know what I mean?

– Of course. Don’t worry. I can’t tarnish my son’s name. So, shall we proceed like that?

– Yes. See you later~

– Okay. Come early. Let’s have dinner together.

– yes.

< >

“……..Yes. There is no big problem with that part.”

“Anyway, we need to strengthen our support for the UK so that we can bear some of the aftermath of Brexit (Britain’s withdrawal from the European Union). Since our intentions were included in Brexit, we need to manage it so that it doesn’t change. The British Prime Minister is very dissatisfied right now.”

“Okay, I will strengthen my support both positively and negatively.”

“What’s next on the agenda?”

“NSA has something to report to you.”

“What is it?”

“This is about Chairman Levi Zheng of the MF Group. Do you know that Chairman Zheng was appointed to the Central Committee of the Chinese Communist Party?”

“Yes. I already received the report. You said it was an honorary position. But you said it was just for show?”

“But things are getting a little weird. From a position of honor, he is now rising to power.”

“Huh? What does that mean?”

“First of all, there is talk that Chairman Jeong’s appointment was the work of Chairman Xi, not Premier Li Keqiang. The rumor is spreading rapidly, especially in Beijing. Thanks to this, the influence of MF and Korean companies is increasing, both positively and negatively.”

“Does that matter to us?”

“Chairman Chung’s assets alone exceed 18.5 trillion dollars (about 2 trillion won). It is not an amount that can be treated as a simple businessman or a tycoon. At first, we also thought it was just a friendly love call from ‘China.’ However, the current situation is that Chairman Chung’s influence in China is rapidly increasing. It is going beyond simple relationships and influence (guanxi). This is a story that is beyond our calculations.”

“Is it really that serious that we should be nervous?”

“Yes. From the beginning, there were doubts about Chairman Jeong’s appearance and growth. Now, the analysis team is even saying, to exaggerate a bit, that Chairman Jeong himself is a spy for ‘China.’ They are saying that he was intentionally raised in China.”

“Hmm… The Chairman Jeong I know isn’t like that. Of course, he supports the Republican Party in the current presidential election, but we weren’t on bad terms before either.”

“But the facts that are gradually being revealed are not simply honorary positions. On the contrary. They are simply disguised as honorary positions. Otherwise, we cannot explain the rise in influence in China and Korea. Furthermore, imagine that the 18.5 trillion dollars that Chairman Chung holds are guns aimed at us. The Chinese yuan is exposed to us. We cannot pour in so much money at once. However, the funds that Chairman Chung holds are different. They have already been legally laundered.”

“Ah~! That’s the point of view. What do the other heads of the institute think?”

“This is Harrison from the CIA. We think you might be a bit of a problem.”

“why?”

“Even if the NSA’s ‘secret agent’ theory is an exaggeration, it is a sufficiently reasonable suspicion. We have also recently reviewed the ‘concern’ that Chairman Chung could collude with China and turn the gun on us. This is more likely to be Chairman Xi’s intention than Chairman Chung’s.”
