Although everything is currently focused on Xiujing and her daughter, of course Ahn Junhyuk cannot spend all the time with them. After another day, according to the hospital's observation, it was determined that Xiujing and Jingyeon were in good physical condition, so Ahn Junhyuk After leaving the hospital, a banquet was held at the hotel where he stayed to welcome everyone who came to visit him.
In fact, neither Quan Byung-kook nor Park Young-joon or Kim Jung-wook can stay in Japan for too long. As the legal armed force of the J.H Group, J.H Security, headed by Quan Byung-kook, has worked hard for many days since it was approved by the Congress. Now it is gradually taking over the security management of some US military bases in South Korea entrusted by Congress from a Canadian security company.
The handover of the work was not troublesome, but it was not smooth. The dismantling of the US military bases in South Korea has been progressing slowly for several months. The promises made after the Democratic Party's victory in the midterm elections were naturally boycotted by the military. It was not South Korea that allowed as many as 20,000 troops. How nostalgic the troops are, but for the generals who are deployed to other countries, every combat facility that is abolished is equivalent to killing a chicken that lays golden eggs in front of their eyes.
"Every bustle in the world is for the sake of coming, and all the hustle and bustle in the world is for the sake of going away!"
The chaotic security situation in the garrison base is probably the result of the connivance of the generals. Among these interests, there is also the issue of ownership of the security assistance contract.
At present, South Korea's security market is at its most emptied. Security companies affiliated to Samsung, Daewoo and other groups have already entered into conflicts with most domestic energy and construction companies due to the frequent terrorist attacks in Iraq in the past two years. Luxurious security contracts have been signed, and these companies have oil field development and post-war reconstruction businesses under their subsidiaries. In Baghdad, where security is deteriorating, it is obvious that bodyguards from their own countries reassure the "owners" who go abroad to take charge of work.
J.H Security¡¯s competitors for the security management of bases in South Korea mainly come from the United States, Canada, Australia and other places. J.H has agents in the South Korean military, and naturally the other party also has agents in the US military.
In the past few months after the security agreement was signed, Congress has often received protests from the United States about the fairness of the security agreement. Some members of Congress have submitted more than once a proposal to review J.H's security qualifications. Although it has not been passed, these chaotic matters have directly affected J.H's application for a security firearms license.
"As you said, the company originally planned to obtain a firearms license in the middle of this year, but now it seems there is no way."
Magnificent dinner hall. Because it was a private dinner, Quan Bingguo, who was dressed in casual clothes, took a puff of a cigar. The flame of the cigarette was extinguished, and he exhaled the smoke and said, saying that there was nothing he could do, but his expression was very comfortable.
An Junhyuk smiled and took a sip of wine.
Application for a permit to carry a firearm. Mainly to open up overseas markets. Last year, Saddam Hussein was executed by the United States. As a result, opposition in the Islamic world became strong. The situation in the Middle East is also deteriorating. In a small way, the personal safety of foreigners in the Middle East is further threatened. .
There are many Korean companies with energy businesses in the Middle East. The more unstable the situation in the Middle East, the more these customers need a sense of security, and the demand in the security market becomes stronger. After all, the security management of garrison bases has a lot to do with it. In fact, Ahn Junhyuk originally pushed J.H Security to take over the security business of garrison bases. , mainly to provide a way for J.H Security to become famous. Quickly accumulate qualifications and credibility (related to business negotiations and application for business licenses from other countries), so that you can compete with other security companies in the international market.
??Later, the preservation money paid by the Congress was dismantled and given to J.H Entertainment, which was just an unintentional intervention.
After thinking for a while, he suddenly asked: "If the license is issued, which firearms can be transported?"
Quan Bingguo is not good at doing business, but he is interested in causes. He was not ignorant. Hearing An Junhe's question, he replied without thinking: "The standard is light weapons. Our main target is the Iraqi market. If there is a license, the standard configuration should be an automatic rifle plus a 12.7 mm caliber light machine gun." The combination."
"M16?" An Junhyuk thought of the gun he used the most when he was in the army.
"AK! It's cheap, durable, and easy to supply." Quan Bingguo smiled, the thick cigar smoke curling between his fingers, Quan Bingguo felt that he was particularly stylish now.
Two years ago, he never imagined that one day he would be sitting in a banquet hall like this, talking about this kind of topic with people. At that time, he would be accompanied by pastures and pastures, and his whole body would be filled with the smell of horse smell.
What he likes is the smell of iron and fire mixed with engine oil and gunpowder. The life of galloping horses and picking chrysanthemums under the fence is not suitable for him.
Being able to legally transport guns is naturally very beneficial to the development of business. An Junhe thought for a moment, nodded and responded: "I will follow up on this matter, but you should pay close attention to the possible movements of Congress and withstand the pressure if necessary! "
? ??? is talking about loan items. Most of the money paid by the Ministry of Finance of South Korea to J.H Security was loaned to J.H Entertainment for the acquisition of Gmarket. Now that the acquisition has been completed and the money has been spent, there is no way to make up for it for the time being. Hole, if Congress cannot withstand the pressure and demands an investigation into J.H¡¯s security, then there will be a big problem.
Quan Bingguo's expression immediately became more serious, and he nodded to indicate that he understood.
During this time in Japan, I accumulated a lot of things. I talked with Quan Bingguo for a while. As soon as I heard about the work of the security company, Park Youngjun took the time to evacuate from the dining table and came over.
Knowing that there was more work accumulated at J.H Entertainment, Quan Bingguo said a few words and left. When he walked away, Park Youngjun sat down on the sofa opposite An Junhyuk and waved to the waiter to bring it to him. After a glass of wine, as soon as the words left his mouth, there was a sigh.
"What, work is not going well?" Hearing him sigh, An Junhe asked with a smile.
"Alas!" Pu Yingjun shook his head. After a moment, he smiled bitterly and spread his hands: "You have been away from the country. Recently, I feel more and more that I am not capable."
"Oh? What should I say?"
"What can I say, because I don't understand." Park Young-joon said with a bitter tone. It is undeniable that when Ahn Joon-hyuk first arranged for J.H Entertainment to acquire Gmarket, he was indeed very excited. Needless to say, Gmarket¡¯s assets are still a giant for J.H Entertainment even if they are privatized and delisted due to this acquisition and their valuation has shrunk.
But it wasn¡¯t until the acquisition was completed and he truly took control of this giant that he discovered that using small to gain big is not always a good thing. It is more likely to bring a lot of trouble.
As soon as Gmarket merged into J.H Entertainment, Park Young-joon found that his ability was not enough to control this big ship. He had never been in charge of a company with more than 200 people. Just the personnel issues made him overwhelmed, and later he had to report to the boss with shame. Ahn Joon Hyuk, and then Ahn Joon Hyuk assigned Kim Jung Wook to be his deputy - said to be a deputy, but actually more like a teacher.
Then the personnel crisis has not been resolved, and the drawbacks of cross-industry acquisitions have emerged one after another. First, many analytical institutions are very unfavorable about J.H Entertainment¡¯s acquisition of Gmarket. After all, J.H Entertainment is an entertainment company, although its chairman Ahn Jun-hyuk is an Internet upstart that has caused a sensation in Silicon Valley. , but it is an indisputable fact that there is no intersection between the business and the Internet industry. A group of laymen led by experts, no one has confidence in it.
Even Park Young-joon himself often feels embarrassed. He knows it. He doesn¡¯t understand the Internet industry at all. He doesn¡¯t understand why Gmarket is so valuable. He only found out what C2C is after looking up information. He doesn¡¯t know why Gmarket dominates the entire South Korea. With C2C¡¯s leading position, it is not clear what advantages Gmarket has over other competitors, let alone formulating its next development plan.
It was a completely unfamiliar field, and he was confused and at a loss. Only then did he understand why Ahn Junhyuk had agreed to the request of the Ministry of Information and Communications Technology and the Ministry of Industry and Energy and promised not to rectify Gamrket's existing operating model. He was also dissatisfied with this rule. Acquisitions, purges, and reorganization should be standard procedures. Only now did he discover that this shackle that he thought was limiting his performance actually saved the entire follow-up to the acquisition.
The supervision team dispatched by the Ministry of Information and Communications Technology and the Ministry of Industry and Energy strictly supervised the process of J.H Entertainment taking over Gmarket, which fundamentally eliminated the opportunity for him to make mistakes.
At the bitterness he showed, An Junhyuk just smiled: "If you don't know, just learn! No one is born knowing. I agreed to the Ministry of Information and Communications Technology's request not to rectify Gmarket, just to leave room for you to adapt, at least as long as I promised During this period, no one outside can attack you with the excuse that you don¡¯t understand e-commerce, all you have to do is recharge.¡±
Hearing An Junhyuk say these words, Park Youngjun secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Since this period of time, he has been under great pressure. This time he took the initiative to "complain", admitting his shortcomings, and feeling somewhat frank and lenient.
Now that he heard that An Junhe didn't mean to pursue the case, he felt relieved, "Yes, I need to recharge. When Zhengxuxi left some time ago, I entrusted him to help find a training class in the United States. I don't ask for proficiency, at least When attending meetings, I can understand reports and plans.¡±
"It's good if you have this mentality." An Junhyuk nodded, seemingly not hearing the hint in Park Youngjun's words that he was trying to repair relationships with his colleagues, "I have mature future plans for the acquisition of Gmarket. Your mission It¡¯s about getting familiar with the job within the period of maintaining the original model. Of course, we can¡¯t relax in the entertainment business.¡±
"Haha, I am familiar with the entertainment business, how dare I give up my strengths." Park Youngjun said with a smile, "The company's corresponding production plan has already begun. Several low-cost horror films are expected to be able to gain a foothold in the home video market during the summer ¡¡±
??J.H Entertainment¡¯s production plan for 2007 is somewhat conservative.The main goal is only to target the home video market. However, J.H Entertainment has insufficient foundation after all. "The King's Man" is just a sign. It is undoubtedly a foolish dream to immediately compete with CJ, ShowBox, etc. for the dominance of the big screen.
In the development of a company, sometimes it has to take big strides and give play to the mentality of a gambler, and sometimes it has to be cautious and step by step.
