Chapter 167 Out of date
A new emperor appoints new ministers. This is nothing to say, especially for an agency like the National Intelligence Service, which has a special role and status. If the current director of the National Intelligence Service was appointed by a conservative president, then after Lee Min-bok took office, the rectification of the National Intelligence Service might not be such an urgent matter, but now
Gao Yonggou was blamed and resigned, losing his position as director of the National Intelligence Service, but he obviously did not leave the department. Councillor Kong reminded An Rusong here to cooperate with the National Intelligence Service as much as possible, and said that Gao Yonggou would be gone soon after Li Minbo came to power. The implicit meaning here is that he should "limitedly" cooperate with the National Intelligence Service, neither confronting the other party nor making excessive concessions.
"I understand what to do, Mr. Kong," An Rushong said respectfully after understanding what Councillor Kong meant.
"Well, you're good," Councillor Kong was very satisfied with his attitude and gave a final reminder, "Remember to contact Hyo Jae and Sun Yong as soon as possible, especially Sun Yong. He is still very young. If he wants to gain enough public support in Eunpyeong District, he must do some practical things as soon as possible to let the people see his ability. Your NGN company is now the focus of the whole nation. If you can reach an investment agreement with him in the near future, it will be of great help to him."
The "Seonyong" he mentioned is obviously Councillor Liu's son. Liu Sunyong, this name sounds good, but I don't know what he is like. I hope he is not someone like Liu Taihe or Jin Kangmin.
"Okay, Mr. Kong," his mind was racing, but he agreed without hesitation. An Rushong has always been good at judging the situation.
This seemed to be what Councillor Kong wanted to say to him. Seeing that he agreed, the old man nodded and slowly closed his eyes, which obviously meant that he was going to see him off.
"Mr. Kong, there is one more thing I need to ask you," An Rushong said after hesitating for a moment.
"Hmm? What's the matter?" Councillor Kong opened his eyes again and looked at him and asked.
"It's like this, Jin Kangmin asked me to meet him tonight, and I think he might want to invest in NGN," said An Rushong.
"Kim Kangmin?" Councilman Kong obviously didn't remember this person very well. He frowned and asked.
"It's the third son of Councillor Jin Rongyu," Nan Xuyu answered the question for An Rushong before he could speak.
Councillor Kong showed an expression of realization on his face, then he curled the corners of his lips and a hint of disdain flashed across his face.
"Congressman Jin is a smart man. How could he allow his son to behave like this?" Congressman Kong spoke in a calm tone, making it impossible to hear his true emotions.
"Maybe it's because he's too smart and is busy running around all day, so he neglects the education of his children at home," Nan Xuyu said.
When he said this, Councillor Kong laughed out loud. The old man pointed at Nan Xuyu and almost said that he was naughty.
An Rushong was a little confused. He couldn't find anything funny in Nan Xuyu's words.
"Don't praise or criticize others behind their backs," Councillor Kong said after laughing. "Councillor Kim is also for the unity of the Republic of Korea."
After hearing this, An Rusong vaguely understood what Nan Xuyu meant. If nothing unexpected happened, this congressman Jin Rongyu should be a centrist in Congress, a politician whose political stance is between the progressives and conservatives.
However, An Rushong only knew that this guy's voting base was District A in the East City, but he didn't know his specific political stance or which party he belonged to.
In the past, considering the relationship between Kim Kang-min and Ryu Tae-hwa, An Rusong always believed that his father Kim Yong-woo was also a member of the Grand National Party. Now it seems that this judgment seems to be problematic.
After scolding Nan Xuyu, Councillor Kong continued, "However, Councillor Jin's eating habits this time were a bit ugly. Well, perhaps this is also related to the election situation of Chengdong District A."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk," he clicked his tongue a few times, shook his head and laughed, "At the moment, Councillor Jin's election situation is not looking good. He will most likely lose to Sun Xinyong this time. He's not thinking of making a fortune before he loses the election, is he? That would be really beneath his dignity."
His words revealed a lot of information, the most important of which was that Jin Rongyu would most likely lose his status as a member of parliament this time. Without his status as a member of parliament, he would naturally lose his position as a member of the National Defense Committee. As a former member of parliament who had lost his position and status, An Rushong did not need to save any face for him or his son.
Therefore, on the issue of NGN possibly being blackmailed by Jin Kangmin, Councillor Kong seemed to have said nothing and made no statement, but his attitude was clearly revealed to An Rushong, that is, he did not need to save any face for Jin Kangmin at all, because the other party's father was about to lose power.
The political circle is a place that values connections, but it is also a very realistic place. No matter who it is, as long as he is in office, there will be no shortage of flatterers around him. But once he loses power, the monkeys around him will disperse overnight, leaving no one behind. In addition, from Nan Xuyu's teasing words, it can be heard that this congressman Jin Rongyu is most likely an independent candidate with a neutral political stance, that is, a non-partisan. Because such people have no party support, once they are cold in their own "vote bank" and lose their base, it will be difficult for them to turn things around in the future.
That is why Councillor Kong said that the other party was planning to make a huge fortune before losing his status as a councillor.
"Okay, is there anything else?" After briefly hinting at Councillor Jin Rongyu's situation, Councillor Kong asked again.
An Rushong didn't say anything. He stood up, bowed slightly to Councillor Kong, and then left the room under the leadership of Nan Xuyu.
After driving away from the Tiffany Hotel, An Rushong didn't breathe a sigh of relief until the car drove out of the underground garage and turned onto the highway. Before, when he was in Councillor Kong's room, he always felt a depressed emotion lingering in his head. It was not until he left that place that he felt relieved.
An Rushong knew that the reason why he had such a feeling was not for any other reason, but because Councillor Kong still had the ability to crush him to death, even though he had such an emerging NGN company in his hands.
so.
An Rushong tightened his hands on the steering wheel and secretly encouraged himself.
We still have to continue to develop. We must build NGN into a giant international Internet company, just like Facebook and Amazon. Then, we will arrange more data centers around the world, build a headquarters in the United States, and get ourselves an American citizenship.
With these, even if he has not yet built up his own power in South Korean politics, those progressives, conservatives, and so on would not dare to touch him easily.
But if you think about it carefully, there is probably no one in this world who can really live freely, right? Just like Councillor Kong, he holds so much power in his hands, can he really live freely? Of course it is impossible, otherwise, he would not have been so embarrassed by others some time ago.
In general, An Rushong's mentality is still very good. Even though he is restricted by many external forces, he does not feel that his life is so frustrating. After all, his career is on the rise, and his foundation is growing and strengthening every day. He has reason to believe that one day he will get rid of those constraints and restrictions.
The most important thing is to fight with others, it’s endless fun!
After leaving the Tiffany Hotel, An Rushong went straight back to NGN Company. Today, he needed to host 6 interviews, and in the next few days, there would be more than similar interviews.
In the company's recruitment plan, he needs to identify at least five department heads for the data center that is about to be built, and establish several related departments including the data management department, data development department, data analysis department, data operations department, and security department.
The original NGN company was just a makeshift team. Now that it has passed the first round of financing, the entire company's structure will naturally be completed. Otherwise, both De Feng Jue and Apple will probably question his ability as a manager.
I had 6 interviews in total and was busy until o'clock in the afternoon, when it finally ended when it was completely dark.
In the office, An Rushong sorted out the interviewees' information and put it into the safe. When he was about to lock the safe, he heard the phone on the desk ringing.
He locked the safe, got up and went back to his desk. When he picked up his cell phone, he saw Jiang Xiuyuan walking in from the office door. Perhaps because she heard the phone ringing, she stopped at the door and looked over here hesitantly.
As expected, the call was from Jin Kangmin.
The corners of An Rushong's lips twitched, and then he waved at Jiang Xiuyuan while pressing the answer button on his phone.
"Rusong," Jin Kangmin's voice soon came over the phone, "Come to Kaipodong, there is an izakaya called Jiulong, let's meet there."
Jin Kangmin was just talking to this on the phone when Jiang Xiuyuan also walked to the side of the desk. She was tiptoeing because she was worried about making noise and being heard by the person on the phone.
"Brother Kangmin, I'm so sorry," An Rusong smiled at Jiang Xiuyuan, and at the same time, he put his arm around her slender waist, caressing her waist and hips, and said with a smile, "I'm afraid I will miss the appointment tonight. I have some difficult things to deal with here, and I really can't spare the time."
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a long time. Just when An Rusong thought the other party had hung up the phone, the other party said, "Really? So what do you think about what we talked about before?"
