Chapter 421 Who Are They?

Chapter 421 Who Are They?
In some ways, the Japanese and Koreans have more similarities. Take the apology, for example. In these two magical countries, bowing and kneeling to apologize seem to be very useful. No matter what kind of trouble those officials and corporate presidents have caused, they can just put on such a performance to cover up the trouble.

Just like in An Rusong's previous life, how serious was the Fukushima nuclear power plant leak in 2011? That was a major nuclear accident classified as level 7 by the INES, the same level as the Chernobyl nuclear leak.

The accident at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant has been blamed by the whole world for decades, and the Soviets paid a heavy price to minimize the harm caused by the accident.

What about the Fukushima nuclear leak? The Tokyo Electric Power Company was extremely ugly in the entire process of handling the accident. It first tried its best to cover it up, then shirked responsibility for various reasons, and even refused to pay compensation to the victims afterwards, so that it had to fight a lawsuit with the victims for ten years.

Finally, ten years after the accident, Tokyo Electric Power Company was ruled to have lost the case by the Supreme Court of Japan. The final response made by Tokyo Electric Power Company was to arrange for a representative to come out and bow and apologize to the public. Tomoaki Kobayakawa, the company's president, only wrote an apology letter to the victims and did not even show up in person.

Japanese public opinion was in an uproar and the public was condemning this incident, but the fact is that the leadership of Tokyo Electric Power Company was as solid as a rock and was not affected at all.

The same thing has happened in South Korea before. Just like this time, as long as the people from the Agricultural Cooperatives and the Korean Beef Association come out to apologize, today's storm will probably be over. Even if it can't be over, the leadership of the two associations will not be affected in any way. At most, the protest against the beef import agreement will not be able to continue.

"Can the Propaganda Office come up with a plan as soon as possible?" As the president, Li Minbo naturally understood the reality. Not to mention the clamorous so-called public opinion, even for him as the president, it would not be an easy task to replace the presidents of the Agricultural Cooperative Association and the Korean Beef Association. Otherwise, how could the two associations jump out to oppose him?

"We are making preparations," Jin Douyu certainly understood what the President meant. The current "whistle-blowing protest" action provided the Blue House with an excellent opportunity to fight back, but this opportunity was fleeting.

In fact, even if it makes good use of this opportunity, the Blue House will not be able to deal a very effective blow to the Agricultural Cooperative Federation or the Korean Beef Association. The best result that Kim Doo-woo can achieve is to divert public attention from the Korea-US beef import agreement and force the Agricultural Cooperative Federation and the Korean Beef Association to stop dwelling on this issue.

In order to make good use of this opportunity, we must seize a window period. This window period is when the public is influenced by the "horn-honking protest" and focuses public opinion on accusing the Agricultural Cooperatives and the Korean Beef Association of lacking public morality. At the same time, during this window period, the Agricultural Cooperatives and the Korean Beef Association have not responded in a timely manner and have not formally apologized to the public.

In summary, during this so-called "window period", public sentiment and the positions of the Agricultural Cooperative Federation and the Korean Beef Association are actually contradictory. The public's aversion to the two associations outweighs the public's aversion to the South Korea-US beef import agreement. Only if the Blue House guides public opinion at this time can it be accepted by the public.

Li Minbo still had confidence in Jin Douyu's ability. He nodded and said, "Well, you can cooperate with Jin Jun, and maybe ask Rusong for his opinion. In short, the most important goal is to make good use of this opportunity."

He paused, frowned and said, "I will also communicate with Washington as soon as possible and try to get the Americans to make some concessions on the relevant agreements."

When he talked about the Korea-US agreement, both Kim Doo-woo and Baek Jin-jun were speechless. The reality is that the agreement signed by Lee Min-bo has had a huge impact on the entire country of South Korea. At present, the outside world has only seen the fierce opposition from the public and the opposition party, and the reactions of the Agricultural Cooperatives and the Korean Beef Association, but has not yet seen the split between the conservatives and even the Grand National Party because of this agreement.

As soon as the news of the signing of this agreement reached back to South Korea, sharp opposition and division emerged within the Grand National Party over this issue. So far, Lee Min-bo has received resignation letters from two ministers, seven Blue House directors and secretaries.

Now, this news has not yet spread. Once it spreads, Li Minbo’s prestige will inevitably suffer a severe blow. It can even be said that it will also affect Li Minbo’s public support.

Therefore, for Lee Min-bo at the moment, he actually has no better way out or choice. Even if he abolishes the newly signed South Korea-US beef import agreement, his public support will inevitably drop significantly.

What's more, Washington is unlikely to make concessions on the agreement. After all, the US economic situation has been very bad recently. President Bush is at the end of his second term, but in order to win more votes for his party, he must show better results on economic issues. And this new Korean-US beef import agreement is more or less a plus for President Bush.

On the top floor of Lotte World Tower, An Rushong, who had just taken a shower, walked into the living room naked while wiping his wet hair with a towel.

In the living room, Han Mi-yeon, who had changed into casual home clothes, was sitting on the sofa with Han Xi-zhen, studying something. As for Pei Mina, she went to Jeju Island, so she was not at home today.

"Isn't there a bathrobe for you in the bathroom?" Hearing footsteps, Han Meiyan turned her head and glanced at him. Seeing that he was completely naked, she couldn't help but curl her lips and said, "You're so ugly without anything on!" "Ugly?" An Rusong raised his arms, looking up and down at his muscular body, and smiled, "Don't you think this is a kind of muscular beauty? Just like that David sculpture, full of masculine sexiness."

"Ptah," Han Miyeon spat at him unhappily, then turned her head back to look at her documents. However, Han Xizhen was still staring at a certain part of his lower body, giggling seductively there.

An Rushong walked over carelessly, deliberately twisting his butt to squeeze past Han Miyeon, and then sat directly between her and Han Xizhen.

Han Miyeon bit her lip and twisted his thigh hard, but he grabbed her hand again.

"Stop it, I'm checking accounts with Xizhen," Han Miyeon said, shaking her hands.

An Rushong glanced at the accounts in their hands without looking at the contents carefully. He was not interested in these things.

Letting go of Han Miyeon's little hand, he took a pack of cigarettes on the coffee table, lit one for himself, then took the TV remote control and turned on the TV.

Coincidentally, the picture that popped up on TV was a helicopter hovering above the Yongdong Bridge. In the heavy rain, a stretcher could be seen slowly rising towards the helicopter, and the background sound of the picture was filled with the sound of car horns.

An Rushong had seen this scene with his own eyes before. In fact, just an hour ago, when the helicopter appeared above the Yongdong Bridge, the traffic on the entire bridge was almost cleared.

The reason for this is that, on the one hand, not all the people who participated in the demonstrations were like Jin Chengyuan, but ordinary people still accounted for the majority. When faced with public anger, the most direct choice for these ordinary people is of course to retreat.

On the other hand, the noise caused by car horns is too loud. Those who honk their horns can hide in their cars and honk as they please. With the isolation of the car, the noise has little impact on them. But the protesters walked onto the bridge. They had nowhere to hide and could only immerse themselves in the destruction of the noise.

Therefore, under these two effects, even if the leaders of the demonstration wanted to persist, those who participated in the demonstration would not be able to do so.

However, even though the traffic on the bridge was about to be cleared, the injured person was still taken on a helicopter, which led to the scene on TV.

The picture on TV quickly switched to the studio, and the host began to introduce the situation of the "whistle-honking protest". An Rushong also knew something about this aspect of the matter. After all, he and Han Miyeon and Han Xizhen had just returned home, and on the way back, there were sounds of whistles everywhere.

"You have really offended the people from the Agricultural Cooperative and the Korean Beef Association now," Han Xizhen, who was sitting next to him, suddenly said as An Rusong was watching with great interest, "Aren't you afraid that they will retaliate against you?"

An Rushong withdrew his gaze from the TV screen and glanced at Han Xizhen who was sitting next to him.

The woman changed into a thin and transparent black ice silk nightgown, which was designed to imitate a shirt. To put it bluntly, it was a large-sized shirt. The hem of the skirt just covered the base of the thighs. Against the black skirt, her two round and slender thighs looked really white and tender.

In An Rushong's eyes, among all the women around him, Han Xizhen seemed to be the one who knew how to seduce men the best, and this woman also had a kind of worldly air about her.

Putting the cigarette between his fingers into his mouth, An Rusong reached out and grasped Han Xizhen's left ankle, lifted her leg up, and placed it on his thigh. Then he stroked her thigh with one hand and took off the cigarette with the other hand, saying, "There are so many people who want to take revenge on me, the Agricultural Cooperative Association? The Korean Beef Association? Who are they?"
