Chapter 189 Eat it all and wipe it clean
Over the past few decades, or to be more precise, since the so-called "Miracle on the Han River" period, South Korea's economy has developed rapidly in the process of so-called "industrial transfer" carried out by Japan.

However, in recent years, especially after the economic crisis in 1998, South Korea's economic growth began to slow down significantly. During the years when President Roh was in power, the annual GDP growth rate of % to % was even more disappointing.

Nowadays, the conservatives have used the words that the progressives are not good at managing the economy and that they are economic idiots to attack President Roh. At the same time, in order to form a sharp contrast with the progressives, the conservatives, especially the local officials of the Grand National Party, are taking various forms of economic development measures, and they talk about attracting investment almost every day. You do this kind of project, I do that kind of project, as if every conservative is an economic expert.

The key point is that after several years of economic slowdown, coupled with the endless reports in newspapers and news, and the subprime mortgage crisis slowly sweeping the world, people's lives are becoming worse and worse. Therefore, there are still many Korean people who believe that the Grand National Party is better at economics. Even the Cheonggyecheon governance project originally initiated by Lee Min-bo has become a highlight project to promote the economic development of Seoul.

Everyone seemed to have forgotten overnight how loud the opposition in Seoul was when the Cheonggyecheon management project was first carried out.

Therefore, we should never underestimate the impact of public opinion on national consciousness. Even if the initial public opinion sounds ridiculous and not many people believe it or pay attention to it, with the media and newspapers' continuous propaganda and information bombardment, even the most absurd and ridiculous remarks will occupy a certain market.

The reason why An Rusong wants to develop NGN software and attaches so much importance to pop-ups and portal websites is because under the current real social background in South Korea, if he wants to get involved in the media field, he can only reach out from the network end. There is no other way.

In the living room, Liu Shanyong introduced Enping District's investment promotion policies to An Rushong. According to him, Enping District Office was preparing to implement a large-scale investment promotion project called the "97 Plan", which would use preferential land and tax exemption policies, as well as huge employment subsidies, to attract 97 high value-added industries and service industries, including the Internet, to invest and build in Enping District's specially designated investment zone.

As an Internet unicorn company, NGN is naturally an investor that Enping District is striving to attract. Therefore, as long as An Rushong can convince DeFeng Jur and Apple to relocate NGN's headquarters and data center to Enping District, all preferential policies offered by the Enping District Office will cover NGN, including employment subsidies.

The so-called employment subsidy is not simply a subsidy given to enterprises for hiring workers. It also includes transportation subsidies for employees' commuting, subsidies for renting and purchasing houses, and even subsidies that enterprises can enjoy when paying various types of insurance for their employees.

To be honest, the accumulated subsidies are still quite substantial. Even if they can only be enjoyed for three years and employees are required to settle in Enping District, they are still very attractive to most companies.

"Brother Shanyong, don't worry," An Rusong said with a smile after listening to the other party briefly describing the preferential policies of Enping District. "Although I can't make the final decision on NGN's investment affairs, I still have a certain initiative in terms of the right to speak. Therefore, even if there are no preferential policies, I will try my best to ensure that the data center project is settled in Enping District. Now that the district office still has so many preferential policies, I believe that moving the entire NGN headquarters there should not be too much of a problem."

"Haha, I believe Rusong will definitely help my brother with this," Liu Shanyong laughed. He picked up the teacup in front of him, gestured to An Rusong, and then said, "As for the second thing, it will be much easier."

After taking a sip of tea, he said, "At the end of the month, the district office will hold a gathering of well-known entrepreneurs. Regarding the '97 Project' planned by the district office, it will be an open meeting with media participation. I hope Rusong can also attend, even if it is to show support for his brother."

An Rusong understood what the other party meant in a second. He smiled and said, "This is a simple matter. Brother Shanyong just needs to tell me the exact time in advance, and I will be there on time."

"Okay, okay, Rushong is indeed a good friend," Liu Shanyong said repeatedly with satisfaction.

The gathering he mentioned is definitely not that simple. First of all, the so-called "entrepreneurs" attending the gathering will definitely publicly express their support for him in front of the media.

Why do we support him? Of course, we support him to participate in the next parliamentary election with Enping District as his base.

So, how should we support him? Should we just support him verbally? That is definitely not enough. The entrepreneurs attending the meeting should also provide support in action when necessary, such as providing him with campaign funds.

To put it bluntly, at a certain point in time, you need to spend real money and take practical actions to support Liu Shanyong's candidacy.

For the entrepreneurs who attended the meeting, they had already made their political stance clear when they chose to attend this kind of forum. As for An Rusong, the choice he had to make was relatively simple. After all, he had already boarded the boat of Councillors Kong and Liu. Even if he did not stand up for Liu Shanyong, others already knew his stance. Liu Shanyong did not seem to expect that the meeting with An Rusong would go so smoothly. He seemed quite happy and talked to An Rusong for a while, mainly asking him whether there was anything that needed special attention from the Enping District Office in the subsequent development of NGN Company, such as whether there was any demand for loans, any policy needs, etc.

An Rusong responded to all of them, being courteous and decent. He did not make any demands on the other party. After all, Liu Shanyong was only the district director of Enping District. As far as his personal ability was concerned, even if he really wanted to help An Rusong, he probably did not have that much power. In the final analysis, he still relied on his father's power.

However, An Rushong did put forward some of his own views on the issue of investment promotion in Enping District. He believed that Enping District was adjacent to Hannan Mountain and Han River, and was a good place with mountains and rivers. Therefore, if an investment zone was to be established in such a place, it would be best not to absorb those enterprises engaged in the real economy, such as this factory or that factory, so as not to affect the environment of Enping District.

In addition, the two also talked about recent economic issues, such as the impact of the subprime mortgage crisis on South Korea, the decline in Samsung's stock price, and so on.

Just when the two were chatting happily, the sound of the door was heard at the entrance, and a moment later, Nan Xuyu walked in.

"It seems like your discussion went smoothly," Nan Xuyu walked into the living room, looked at the two of them, and said with a smile, "How about a drink to celebrate?"

Liu Shanyong looked at him in surprise and said with a smile, "I'm afraid what Director Nan wants to celebrate is not about the matter between Rusong and me, right?"

Nan Xuyu chuckled, walked to a sofa, threw his fat body into it, and said, "Prosecutor Gao Zhongxu has begun investigating the economic crimes of the Damushan Group. In addition, someone has reported Liu Taihe, claiming that he is related to the flower card gambling website that was rampant on the Internet some time ago."

"Oh, is there any actual evidence?" Liu Shanyong asked curiously.

"The informant is anonymous," Nan Xuyu said calmly, "He submitted a large number of relevant videos to the Procuratorate by anonymous express mail, which is enough to prove Liu Taihe's crime."

An Rusong's eyelids twitched when he heard this. From the conversation between Nan Xuyu and Liu Shanyong, it can be heard that Liu Shanyong obviously didn't know much about Liu Taihe and the Damusan Group. In addition, the "reporter" that Nan Xuyu mentioned was most likely Cha Sunxi, because that woman had been lurking around Liu Taihe before, and she had ample opportunities to secretly film videos related to Liu Taihe and the flower card website.

However, what really worries An Rusong is that he doesn't know if he appears in those videos. Or, maybe he doesn't appear in the videos currently submitted to the procuratorate, but Nan Xuyu and his team may have some videos that can prove his connection with the Huapai network administrator.

If that's the case, Nan Xuyu's coming out to talk about these things with Liu Shanyong might be a hint to himself, with the purpose of making him behave himself.

These thoughts went around in An Rushong's mind for a few times, but there was no sign of abnormality on his face.

"Then hurry up and investigate," Liu Shanyong said, "To be honest, if Liu Taimin hadn't died early, we wouldn't have let him go. If we don't give the most severe response to this kind of traitor, others will probably think we are too weak."

Nan Xuyu clasped his hands together, a faint smile flashed across his chubby face. He said, "The problem now is that it is easy to deal with people like Liu Taihe, but how to regain control of the Damushan Group is a more troublesome matter."

An Rushong understood clearly that these people not only wanted to kill Liu Taihe, but also wanted to take control of the entire Damushan Group after killing Liu Taihe, the heir of the Damushan Group. They were the ones who wanted to take advantage of the situation.

"That's not difficult at all," Liu Shanyong said with a smile, "Didn't the Liu family have so many people fighting for the inheritance before? We just need to find a puppet among them."
