At the beginning of July, after a "meticulous investigation" by the Seoul District Prosecutor's Office, the chairman of the New World Party's Congress Operation Committee and the new candidate for the New World Party's leader, Kim Wu-Sung, confessed to the fact of "improper relationship" and voluntarily resigned from all positions to await trial.
The Seoul District Prosecutor's Office concluded that there was insufficient evidence to charge him with murder and did not prosecute him.
The annual Korean drama "Kim Wu-Sung" came to an end, and the election for the New World Party's leader ended with the election of Parliament Member Kim Yi-kyung.
Those who knew the inside story were shocked by Tang Jinyan's influence. Every move of the New Village Group was studied by countless people with a magnifying glass.
However, at this moment, no one could see what the New Village Group was plotting behind the scenes. What everyone could see was the frequent actions of New Village Entertainment on the surface, as if the entire New Village Group's focus was on the entertainment industry. Both political and business matters had nothing to do with Tang Jinyan.
On July 3, SBS and New Village Entertainment jointly announced that the crew of the TV drama "Pinocchio" was completed and officially started shooting.
On July 4, New Village Entertainment announced that after half a year of preparation, the Sino-Korean movie "Battle of the Sea" was officially completed and would be released in Asia at the beginning of September.
On July 5, Park Hyomin's solo album "Nice Body" was announced to be withdrawn from the charts. Park Ji-yeon's solo album "Nerverever" released a trailer. The "Tang Jinyan as the male lead" that was hyped up during the shooting of the MV ignited the enthusiasm of the public. Just a few seconds of the trailer made it to the top of Naver's trending list that day.
The focus of attention rose from the fans to the political and business circles, highlighting the terrifying influence of Tang Jinyan on the national level.
At the same time, CUBE and ACUBE, subsidiaries of New Village Entertainment, released the latest collaboration single with Jun Eun-thi, "Stop Quarreling Now". The music quietly landed on major music websites.
Tang Jinyan sat in his office, leaning against the back of the chair with his eyes closed. The song floated slowly from the computer speakers, cycling over and over again. He didn't open his eyes for half an hour.
The phone rang, and Tang Jinyan picked it up. The voice of Won Hee-ryong came from the receiver, "The Pusan government is ready."
"Okay."
After hanging up the phone, Tang Jinyan directly called Zheng Mengzhun, "Hanjin plan, start."
Zheng Mengzhun was asked to start the plan because Hyundai Shipping, the second largest shipping company in Korea. No one was more suitable than the Zheng family.
On July 7th, Hanjin Shipping, a subsidiary of the Hanjin Group and the largest shipping industry in South Korea, submitted a bankruptcy protection application to the Central Court of Seoul.
When the news came out, the global shipping market was shaken.
Hanjin Hanjin Hanjin Hanjin's bankruptcy protection protection Hanjin of Hanjin Hanjin's company...................
The so-called bankruptcy protection means that when a company is close to the end of its rope, it can propose a bankruptcy reorganization plan, making arrangements on the terms and methods of debt repayment, as well as the possible reduction of the interests of certain creditors and shareholders.
................
.......................'s
Korea wouldn't allow Hanjin Shipping to go bankrupt. For a peninsular country that relied heavily on the shipping industry, it was no different from destroying one's own martial arts.
But bankruptcy protection was a bit complicated. To put it simply, it was a series of acquisitions and restructuring to get rid of the bad debts, reorganize the resources, and restart the business.
There were a lot of twists and turns here. Since the debts weren't settled, who would bear the vast debts?
The court hearing would be an extremely long process.
During this process, the entire shipping industry in Korea would almost be stopped.
Ports around the world would even refuse to let Hanjin Shipping dock because they were worried about its payment.
Shipowners, ports, freight forwarders, towing companies, and other suppliers in the industry chain would be faced with the dilemma of not being able to collect rent and other income. Even the unloading workers wouldn't be paid.
In other words, during the long process of the court hearing, the debts would be thrown to the ports and related companies all over the world, which was similar to the concept of debt repudiation.
The banks would suffer the most from debt repudiation.
The people's livelihood would be affected the most in Pusan.
Countless of Han Jin's bottom-level employees were laid off, the dockworkers lost their jobs, and countless small companies in the entire industry chain faced the predicament of bankruptcy. The chain reaction caused by this event was too numerous to count. Hundreds of thousands of people were affected, and millions of people were affected if their families were included. The economic situation had regressed by twenty years in one day.
The characteristics of Korean plutocracy were vividly reflected in this case.
The impact of any plutocracy's accident was too great for the government to bear.
Although the plutocracy's family was often involved in political struggles, they didn't dare to kill it.
This was the fundamental reason why Tang Jinyan had always wanted to take over the lifeline industry. Even if he knew that the shipping industry wasn't fun, he still had to do it.
Bankruptcy and restructuring were undoubtedly the best starting point. They could obtain the most advantageous resources at the lowest price. After getting rid of the bad debts, they wouldn't die even if they lost money in the future, not to mention the possibility of profit after restructuring.
In any case, Pusan was in an uproar this time.
The sudden bankruptcy caused countless people in Pusan to panic. Phone calls for help or government support flooded the Pusan City Hall and members of the major parties in Pusan.
However, the attitude of the parties this time was thought-provoking.
First, the Ministry of Marine and Fisheries of Korea and other relevant departments held an industry meeting to discuss the countermeasures at the government level.
After Hanjin Shipping entered the legal management process, the government would temporarily mediate the hundreds of thousands of containers of goods loaded by the company.
The Financial Committee of Korea and other financial circles also held an emergency meeting to actively study the plan to take over all ships and core manpower of Hanjin Shipping.
The Pusan City Hall held a press conference to actively study the problems of unemployment resettlement and re-employment programs.
Moon Jae-in and other politicians with deep roots in Pusan came out to appease and spread the word. They also pointed out that they were actively contacting companies with enough strength to support the shipping chaos as soon as possible.
The new mayor of Pusan, Won Hee-ryong, said that he had preliminary exchanges with Hyundai Shipping.
From the central government to Pusan, everything was done in an orderly manner as if it had been prepared for a long time and had been waiting for this day.
Pusan, which was supposed to be in chaos, actually calmed down after a series of moves, waiting for the government to fulfill its promise.
In fact, it had indeed been prepared for a long time …
The only one who didn't know what was going on was Ahn Cheol-soo, who had done almost nothing.
Actually, there was nothing wrong with doing nothing. However, Ahn Cheol-soo's political slogan and basic plan was to break the monopoly of the plutocrats and promote youth entrepreneurship and employment. Therefore, he quickly won the support of the younger generation in Korea and was in the limelight for a while.
At this moment, when the unemployment situation was in a mess, he didn't say anything, which was wrong.
Especially at this moment when the people were in urgent need of a vent, Ahn Cheol-soo was scolded like a sieve, and even his party's support began to decline. Compared to other people who responded in an orderly manner, Ahn Cheol-soo was like a keyboard warrior who didn't know how to do things and only knew how to shout slogans.
The highest level of sabotage was that the other party didn't even know that they were sabotaged.
Take Ahn Cheol-soo for example. Even with his rich political attainment, he didn't realize that this incident was aimed at him. At most, Moon Jae-in and the others must have gotten some information and didn't inform him.
He was already a smart person, but he still could analyze where Moon Jae-in and the others' information came from … Since there was information, it must be premeditated. Who was the mastermind behind this?
Zhao Lianghao?
No, no.
Zhao Lianghao shouldn't have started this step at this time. It's not the right time … What gave Zhao Lianghao the motive of bankruptcy protection in advance?
There must be someone behind this.
Zheng Mengzhun?
No … Zheng Mengzhun didn't have this motive … Tang Jinyan?
This name suddenly jumped into Ahn Cheol-soo's mind. His face suddenly changed, and he jumped up from his chair and called Lee Kang-hwan immediately. "If you still think that the bankruptcy of Han Jin Shipping has nothing to do with you, you can prepare to welcome Tang Jinyan to Pusan!"
