Chapter 422 Wind Direction
He was not bragging, but as the chairman of an Internet company, he really has no connection with organizations like the Agricultural Cooperative Association and the Korean Beef Association.

In South Korea, the Korean Beef Association, especially the Nonghyup, not only has a huge influence, but also has an astonishing scale. Not to mention the extremely high status it enjoys in Korean agriculture, just the Korea Nonghyup Bank controlled by the Nonghyup is the strongest and largest bank in South Korea.

In addition, the Nonghyup also monopolizes all agriculture-related trade in South Korea. Farmers must purchase seeds, fertilizers, and agricultural machinery and tools from the Nonghyup's sales companies. Conversely, the agricultural products produced by farmers must also be sold through the Nonghyup's sales channels.

Therefore, the Agricultural Cooperatives in South Korea and Japan are basically the same thing. They are giants that monopolize the entire agricultural industry in their respective countries. They are vampires that feed on both agricultural production and sales. How can there be justice if they are not strong?
But even so, these two associations cannot threaten An Rushong's career. An Rushong will not apply for a loan from the Agricultural Cooperative Bank anyway, and the two associations cannot be said to restrict his food. The spheres of influence of both parties do not overlap. Why should he worry about retaliation from the two associations?
"Tsk!" Han Mi-yeon sneered, "You really dare to fight for the Blue House guy, but after so long, he hasn't given you any benefits."

An Rushong ignored her. It's not that Li Minbo didn't give him benefits. It's just that he couldn't mention those benefits in front of Han Meiyan. Not to mention Han Meiyan, even in front of any other woman, he would not mention the secret deal between himself, Li Minbo or Bai Jinjun, not for anything else, but for safety reasons.

At this moment, there was a sudden "buzzing" sound on the coffee table. An Rushong looked in the direction where the sound came from and saw that the sound was made by a Nokia mobile phone jumping frequently on the surface of the coffee table.

Han Meiyan put down her legs that were originally crossed on the sofa, reached out to take the mobile phone, looked at the caller ID, and raised her beautiful eyebrows.

"What's wrong?" An Rushong caught the change in her facial expression and asked curiously.

"Ma Jijian," Han Meiyan turned the phone screen towards him so that he could look at the caller ID message. On the lit screen was the note "KBS Minister Ma".

An Rushong knew that Ma Jijian was the current director of the Copyright Cooperation Department of KBS TV Station.

The copyright project that Han Meiyan is currently working on requires her to deal with several major TV stations in South Korea, and she has to deal with the copyright departments of several TV stations. For example, the agency responsible for film and television copyrights of SBS TV station is the Planning Department, while the agency responsible for copyright matters of KBS TV station is the Copyright Cooperation Department. In other words, if Han Meiyan wants to obtain the online copyrights of KBS TV station's films, TV shows, and variety shows, she will inevitably have to deal with Ma Jijian.

Previously, An Rushong had also learned from Han Meiyan that the company she founded, "CieloTV Corporation", was still in its infancy and not well-known. In addition, the Internet copyrights of film and television dramas and variety shows were not valued by the world. Therefore, when discussing copyright cooperation with several TV stations, the other party did not pay enough attention.

It seems that when they came into contact with "KBS TV Station", Han Mi-yeon and others were harassed by the other party. However, An Rusong later introduced the cooperation between Li Fuzhen and Han Mi-yeon. In addition, the subsequent "Broadcasting and Communications Commission" was established, and Li Minbo began to target several major TV stations. Han Mi-yeon temporarily gave up the copyright public relations for several major TV stations, and An Rusong no longer cared about this matter.

Speaking of which, since the establishment of the "KBS Communications Commission", over a month has passed, there has been a split within the KBS TV station over the appointment of a new president. The KSB TV station, which produces the top news, has once become the focus of news in the entire South Korea.

Just at the beginning of last month, the "KBS Communications Commission" passed its first appointment resolution after its establishment with almost unanimous vote. According to the resolution, KBS TV station will parachute in a new president to replace the current president Zheng Yuanzhu.

However, after the appointment was passed, KBS TV station did not even consider who the new president would be, and launched a vigorous boycott protest. Dozens of reporters and PDs of the TV station hung banners and set up isolation belts in front of the TV station building, refusing the so-called airborne president to enter the TV station. They even had physical conflicts with the police who came to maintain order during the subsequent protest, resulting in injuries.

But such protests did not have any effect. In the middle of last month, the KBS TV station board of directors interviewed Zheng Yuanzhu, the president who refused to resign. Soon after, the TV station board of directors formally made a resolution to revoke Zheng Yuanzhu's position as the president of the TV station. Then, the Seoul Central District Prosecutors arrested Zheng Yuanzhu on charges of "dereliction of duty" and other crimes.

At this point, the protest storm at KBS TV station reached its climax. For nearly a week, the operation of the entire TV station was almost paralyzed. Every day when KBS appeared in front of the public, it was in the reports of other TV stations. The TV station’s reporters and program producers all declared that they would fight to the end until the board of directors changed its resolution.

It was in the midst of this uproar that Lee Byung-soon, the new president appointed by the Korea Communications Commission, arrived. As soon as he took office, the new president cleanly canceled six or seven news programs and sent more than a dozen front-line reporters and program producers who participated in the protest to the logistics department to sit on the bench.

Afterwards, he met with some people who were not so active in the protests, as well as a large number of newcomers who were doing various jobs within the TV station, and promoted them to the positions of front-line reporters and main program hosts.

Just like that, with a series of killings, the so-called strike demonstrations that were originally making a lot of noise collapsed in just one week, and the operation of KBS TV station quickly returned to normal. The only difference was that many familiar faces had completely disappeared from KBS TV station's programs. Therefore, in the recent period of time, KBS TV station has been very honest. In the storm caused by the South Korea-US beef import agreement, KBS TV station, which used to like to rush to the forefront of scandal reports, has always stood on the side of the Blue House. They even organized a "Hello President" program yesterday, and specially invited Lee Min-bo himself to explain the issue of the South Korea-US beef import agreement in the program.

After KBS was subdued, MBC jumped out recently. In the past two days, the TV station's "PD Handbook" program has repeatedly criticized Lee Min-bo over the issue of the Korea-US beef import agreement. To be frank, the demonstrations in Seoul over the Korea-US beef import agreement in the past two days were instigated by "PD Handbook American Beef".

An Rushong estimated that the next to be in trouble would be MBC TV station, and the first to bear the brunt would inevitably be the current president of the TV station, Yan Jiyong.

Just as An Rushong was thinking about these things, Han Meiyan next to him also pressed the answer button on his mobile phone. However, as soon as she put the phone to her ear, she saw An Rushong glaring at her and making a gesture at her.

After giving the man a cold look and kicking him on the thigh, Han Mi Yan finally put her phone on the coffee table and pressed the hands-free button.

"Excuse me, is this Chairman Han from CieloTV? I'm Ma Jijian from KBS TV station." The hands-free button had just been pressed when a slightly hoarse middle-aged voice came from the phone.

"Hello, Minister Ma, I'm Han Mi-yeon," Han Mi-yeon said, leaning forward and getting as close to the phone as possible.

"Ah, hello, President Han," Ma Jijian said in a very polite tone, "I'm sorry to bother you at this time."

"Minister Ma is too polite," Han Meiyan said with a smile, "To me, you are a noble person. It is my honor to receive your call at any time."

Her laughter sounded somewhat coquettish, and while she was saying this, she also deliberately gave An Rushong a provocative wink.

An Rushong would not tolerate this guy. He stretched out his hand, grabbed her chest and squeezed it hard.

Feeling the pain, Han Miyeon pinched his thigh with her backhand and pretended to lower her head to bite his arm.

At this moment, Ma Jijian's voice came out of the phone again. He said in an awkward tone, "President Han, you are joking. The previous incident was entirely due to my inadequate supervision, so that some people working below forgot their positions and identities and said some outrageous nonsense in front of President Han. President Han, don't worry. I will deal with those who don't understand the situation seriously."

After hearing what Ma Jijian said, An Rusong finally understood that Han Meiyan's previous words were meant to mock the other party, and that kind of words should have been said by someone from the Copyright Cooperation Department of KBS TV Station in front of Han Meiyan. Of course, the other party's words must have been more mean and vulgar, otherwise, given how much Han Meiyan valued the copyright project, she would not have mocked Ma Jijian like this.

"Haha, Minister Ma, there's no need to take it so seriously. These are just some drunken nonsense from some young people. No one will take it to heart," Han Mi Yan said with a smile.

"You can't say that," Ma Jijian said in a serious tone, "The nature of this matter is not as simple as a few nonsense words. Moreover, as young people, if they don't learn some lessons, they will inevitably make the same mistakes again in the future."

After a pause, he continued, "Of course, my main purpose for disturbing Chairman Han today is not about these people's affairs, but about the copyright cooperation between KBS TV and CieloTV. This is something that Chairman Li personally inquired about, so I hope to discuss it with Chairman Han as soon as possible."
