Chapter 404 Conflict
What Yin Zhen was talking about was the operating mechanism of the Internet industry association involved in this document.
In fact, from the operating mechanism stipulated in the document for this Internet Industry Association, it can be seen that the original intention of the Blue House is to restrict South Korea's three major mobile communication operators to a certain extent, at least, to limit their influence in the Internet industry.
Just as the classification made in the document, the three Internet service providers including SK Telecom are the foundation for the normal operation of the entire Internet industry. They are engaged in infrastructure. Without the services they provide, not only will Internet users be unable to continue to access the Internet, but Internet companies like NGN will also not be able to continue to operate.
If Internet companies like NGN provide services to ordinary Internet users, then the three Internet service providers including SK Telecom provide services to Internet companies like NGN. As upstream service providers, the three Internet service providers have an absolute advantage when facing Internet companies, especially in terms of service pricing authority.
Today, the Blue House wants to promote the rapid development of South Korea's Internet industry. On the one hand, it must ensure the stable development and operation of the three Internet service providers, and on the other hand, it must promote the development of downstream Internet companies.
From the perspective of infrastructure, upstream Internet service providers certainly occupy an important position, but for the development of South Korea's Internet economy, the development of downstream Internet companies is more important.
The document that An Rushong was reading now was obviously made by people in the industry. They knew very well the fundamentals of the development of the Internet industry, so when formulating the rules of the industry association, although most of the 15 trillion won in support funds were invested in the three service providers, at the same time, they also formulated policies requiring the three service providers to reduce their fees.
According to the rules set out in the document, after the three service providers receive support funds from the government, they must follow the rules of the industry association. When they provide relevant network services to downstream Internet companies, the service fees they charge should be standardized.
This standard cannot be decided by the three service providers themselves, but should be negotiated with industry members of downstream Internet companies. When no consensus can be reached through negotiation, the Ministry of Science, Technology, ICT and the Internet Industry Promotion Agency will make the final coordination.
There is no doubt that as one of the representatives of the three service providers, LG Group, or as the representative of LG Group, Yoon Jung will definitely not be satisfied with such a mechanism. What he just said is an expression of his position.
This guy's words were full of contempt for Internet companies, which naturally included An Rushong who was sitting next to him.
However, as a participant in the matter, An Rushong pretended not to hear this guy's nonsense. In his eyes, this wealthy son-in-law who lived off his wife was really a complete idiot. He only saw from the document the restrictions imposed by the Blue House on the three service providers, but did not see the real purpose hidden behind the document.
If we read this document thoroughly and then look back at the operating rules of this so-called industry association, is its purpose really just to restrict the three service providers and promote the development of downstream Internet companies?
The answer is of course no. The real purpose of the Blue House is to strengthen its control over the entire Internet industry.
Think about it, what are the origins of the three service providers in South Korea? Either SK or LG, they are all big chaebols in South Korea. Can they accept that the service pricing issue is restricted by downstream Internet companies?
Looking at Yin Zhen’s attitude, isn’t the answer obvious?
Internet companies like NGN certainly hope that service providers can charge lower service fees, because this is related to their profits and their survival.
NGN is in a better situation because it has a large international investment bank behind it, and the operation of NGN software has already jumped out of the local Korean restrictions and is rapidly developing in the direction of international localization. An Rusong even envisioned that after completing the B round of financing, NGN's main servers would be moved to Nordic countries such as Sweden and Iceland to reduce costs.
In this case, NGN is less restricted by South Korea's domestic Internet service providers. On the contrary, considering the international development trend of NGN, perhaps South Korea's three major Internet service providers will have to beg them to strengthen cooperation between the two sides.
But for those Internet companies rooted in South Korea, including NAVER, they cannot escape the control of the three major Internet service providers. Therefore, if they want to have the initiative in pricing to a certain extent, what can they do?
There is no doubt that they can only rely on the support of the Ministry of Science, Technology, ICT and Internet Agency.
In this way, the Ministry of Science, ICT and Internet Agency, which represent the position of the Blue House, are equivalent to controlling South Korea's downstream Internet companies. In turn, the two departments can restrict the three major Internet service providers through the support of downstream Internet companies.
To put it bluntly, this so-called Internet Industry Association is actually a "cage" that the Blue House uses to bring South Korea's entire Internet industry into the regulatory system with the help of a support fund. The 15 trillion won is the bait to lure the entire Internet industry into the game.
Look at the series of actions that Lee Min-bo has taken since he came to power. He first attacked SBS TV station, trying to control traditional media with decisive means and a tough attitude. Then, he launched the so-called Internet industry revitalization plan, trying to take the emerging Internet media into his pocket by means of "openly repairing the plank road and secretly crossing Chencang". He is doing both things, and both hands are very strong. The ultimate goal is actually to control the social opinion tool in his own hands.
It's ridiculous that this idiot Yoon Jung doesn't understand anything. His eyes are only on the 15 trillion won, yet he acts superior and has no idea what the real purpose of this document is.
"Representative Yoon, this is not a decision made by Minister Hong or President Lee. It is a plan that was finally put forward after discussions among all parties and research and approval by Congress," Kwon Ji-hye still had a smiling expression on her face. She showed enough patience when dealing with Yoon Jung.
"The plan is just dead," Yin Zhen closed the document and pushed it back in front of Quan Zhihui. Then he picked up the wine glass in front of him, took a sip of wine, and said, "When it comes to specific implementation, it still depends on the executor."
He paused, turned his head and glanced at An Rushong next to him, then reached out and pulled the document in front of An Rushong, saying, "For now, I'm afraid we at LG Telecom can't accept this document."
An Rushong was reading the last part of the document when he didn't expect that the gigolo next to him would come to snatch the document from his hand. He was caught off guard and the document in his hand was pulled away by the other party.
"This thing," Yin Zhen pulled the file from An Rushong's hand. Without even looking at An Rushong's stunned expression, he slammed the file shut and threw it in front of Quan Zhihui, saying, "Give it to your wild man and let him start over..."
He had just said this when An Rushong reached out and took the document that had just slipped in front of Quan Zhihui, then flipped through the documents, from the back to the front. It seemed that he was planning to finish reading the part he had not finished reading just now.
"Ah~ Shit!" Yin Zhen immediately turned his attention to An Rushong. He stared at the young man beside him with wide eyes and cursed with a tone of anger and surprise.
An Rushong moved his eyes away from the document and turned to look at the idiot. His patience with this guy had reached its limit. If this idiot still didn't understand his own importance, then he would have to teach him a lesson tonight. He had to make him understand one thing: the identity of the son-in-law of LG Group is not something that everyone can be scared of.
Inside the bar, Quan Zhihui, whose face turned pale because of Yin Zhen's anger, also felt the sudden tense atmosphere. Although she wanted to smash Yin Zhen's forehead with the bottle of wine at hand, her reason told her that it would be better not to provoke this arrogant and domineering bastard in front of her.
"Representative Yin" wanted to settle the matter peacefully, and Quan Zhihui was about to speak to persuade the other party, but saw Yin Zhen reaching out to grab An Rushong's collar.
"You bastard." Although An Rusong's eyes looked cold, they concealed danger. However, Yin Zhen was not frightened by his eyes. On the contrary, it aroused his anger. He cursed and reached out to grab An Rusong's collar.
An Rushong would not wait for the other party to grab his collar. When the other party stretched out his hand, he took the lead, grabbed the water cup in front of him, and poured the full cup of water directly into the other party's face.
Yin Zhen was used to being arrogant and had never met anyone who dared to attack him, so when faced with a glass of water thrown at him, he didn't even react at all and was splashed all over his face.
"Ah! You bastard!" With his vision blurred by the water splashed on his face, Yin Zhen subconsciously reached out to wipe it while cursing in a raised voice.
Since you have already made the move, you naturally have to make the other party lose the ability to resist as soon as possible. As for the other party's identity, haha, you have already offended him anyway, so there is no difference between throwing water in his face and slapping him in the face.
Without waiting for the other person to wipe the water off his face, An Rushong jumped down from the bar stool. He reached out and grabbed the wine bottle in front of Quan Zhihui and smashed it on Yin Zhen's forehead.
There was a dull "bang" sound, followed by a scream of "ah", and the wine bottle did not break, but blood instantly flowed from Yin Zhen's forehead.
