Chapter 370 The Turbulent Peninsula·End

December 9, 2001.

Friday.

Seoul has a population of nearly 10 million. The total population of Seoul’s surrounding areas (the metropolitan area) is 20 million, which is close to 50% of Hanguo’s population.

Located in the Gwanghwamun area in the center of Seoul, it is close to the Blue House.

Whether it is a CBD or a business district, it has always been a long-established facade of Seoul, and it has always been at the top of various lists.

The Gwanghwamun area is located north of the Han River, in a high-end office building.

Xu Dongbi, a 30-year-old first-generation Hanguo programmer, works in this office building.

This afternoon, it was obviously almost three hours before get off work.

But at Actoz Soft Game Company, people from several departments stopped what they were doing.

Among them is Xu Dongbi and the game UI screen design department where he works.

The entire 15 employees in the design department were no longer in the mood to work after 2:30 this afternoon.

Under the leadership of the department head, Director Park.

Everyone in this game design department gathered together.

They were in front of several computer screens, looking at the colorful numbers, lines and frames on them.

"Ah, Dafa! Samsung products are over 10,000 yuan! I should buy more!"

"Hey Yigu. I shouldn't have bought Jeju Pharmaceutical! They are all pharmaceutical stocks. If I had bought Modern Pharmaceutical, I would have made at least 5 million more now!"

"Dong Bi is still great."

A senior in the department praised Xu Dongbi with a smile, "He has almost earned 100 million now! Apart from Director Park, he is the most powerful!"

"Yes, yes." Even Director Park praised Xu Dongbi, "Actually, Dongbi is more powerful. He only has a capital of more than 80 million, but he has already made almost 100 million. I am not the only one, my capital is all

We have already invested 700 million yuan, but we have only made 200 million yuan now.”

I heard Director Park’s Versailles-like speech.

And he has actually invested 700 million into the stock market.

Everyone praised Director Park for his strength.

Manager Park, who was praised by his subordinates, couldn't help but smile and wave his hands——

"No, no, I don't have that much money. I mortgaged my house to get so much money."

"Mortgage the house?"

Someone suddenly realized, yes, if the principal is not enough, you can get a loan or sell your house!

As an Internet practitioner, the prospects of the Internet were so good in the past few years.

Even though there was a financial crisis in Han State a few years ago, Internet practitioners like them in Han State were still doing pretty well.

Like Xu Dongbi, he lost tens of millions during the 1998 financial crisis.

If this were the case for an ordinary Hanguo person, he might have been seriously injured and might even go bankrupt.

After all, at that time, housing prices in relatively good places in Seoul were less than 1.8 million won.

Tens of millions of won is already the value of 1/3 of a good house of 100 square meters in Seoul.

But Xu Dongbi still managed to bear it and paid off the debt in more than a year. In the third year, he saved enough for the down payment and then bought a house.

This is because he is one of the earliest programmers in Han Dynasty.

It happened to catch up with the overheating of the Internet in the past few years, and the wages and remuneration were frighteningly high. It was considered that the people in Han State had the best life at that time.

Although the Internet bubble burst last year, everyone's life was much more difficult.

But it's just a slight salary cut, and those who haven't been fired are still treated much better than in other industries.

In other words, everyone here is from the middle class and above who are living a relatively good life in Han State.

To put it simply, most of them, including Xu Dongbi, are homeowners...

Even if they can't afford the full payment, taking advantage of the lower housing prices in Seoul after the financial crisis, many people have put down down payments and bought homes in Seoul.

Now I heard that Manager Park actually made nearly 200 million won in one week by selling houses and stock trading.

According to the current average house price in Seoul, which is about 2.5 million, it is equivalent to about 5 days a week for Director Park.

I have already made money on a house of about 80 square meters in the Hanguo stock market.

Earning a house in five days is a quick way to make money, and many people are immediately excited.

Even Seo Dong-pil is.

Not to mention Actoz Soft company people's hearts are floating.

That day was Friday, and the Hanguo stock market closed after 4:30 pm that day.

That evening, the Ministry of Planning and Finance of Hanguo announced that the economic GDP growth rate of Hanguo in 2001 was 4.9%, which was expected to be 4.5% and the previous value was 4%.

The department also announced that it expects the country's economic growth next year to be 7%.

This is lower than the 7.5% growth forecast given by Hanguo Bank and the 7.2% growth forecast of the Hanguo Development Institute, a national research institution.

But for all Han people, this expectation given by the Ministry of Finance and Economic Affairs is a shot in the arm.

There are also various data that show that Han is the country with the fastest economic recovery after the Asian financial crisis among the member countries of the World Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development.

Ernst & Young, a global accounting consulting company, also believes that Hanguo ranks 10th in the world based on the maturity of corporate mergers and acquisitions (M&A).

The news reported that night excited all the people of Han State.

It seems that the goal of joining the developed countries can be achieved right before our eyes.

But these reports made the owner of the blue house anxious.

"Yin Maoxi, what are you doing!!"

After the GDP forecast figures from the Ministry of Strategy and Finance are released.

Commander Jin immediately called the person in charge of this department, who was also the finance minister of Han State, Yin Maoxi, and scolded him.

"Don't you know that the Hanguo stock market is now overheated and investors' enthusiasm for investment has exploded, which is already very dangerous. Don't you know?"

"At this time, you are actually announcing such good news? Do you want to create a stock bubble this time? You know how dangerous this is!!"

Yin Maoxi felt aggrieved because according to the original plan.

Since the 1998 financial crisis, in order to boost national confidence and increase foreign investors' enthusiasm for Hanguo.

Since 1999, the Ministry of Planning and Finance has been accustomed to making public the GDP figures for the year, which are usually released in the second year, at the end of the year.

By the way, the expected GDP growth figures for next year are also disclosed.

This has become a habit and is a practice to promote the national economy.

This year's plan, like last year, is to be announced in early December.

However, due to special circumstances, Commander Jin requested that the announcement be postponed this time.

When the time is right, we will announce it to the public.

Wait until the Hanguo stock market calms down before announcing this great good news.

Yin Maoxi also obeyed Commander Jin's orders. Of course he would listen to the boss's words.

Based on this, the Ministry of Planning and Finance probably won’t announce it as planned today.

But many times, many things cannot be done according to the ideas of those in power.

Now, the Ministry of Planning and Finance has released this information to the outside world according to its original plan.

This is not because Yin Maoxi is disobedient, but because the people under Yin Maoxi left alone.

His deputy, the deputy director of the Ministry of Planning and Finance, and Kim Jong-soo, the president of Hanguo Bank, announced this information together.

But they did so, and Yin Maoxi couldn't blame them.

Because according to the plan, these two people were supposed to announce the news today.

Yin Maoxi's mistake was that he did not execute Commander Jin's order in time and allowed these two people to succeed alone, resulting in the current situation.

After listening to Yin Maoxi's explanation, Commander Jin looked at this guy.

He was guessing that this guy might also be involved.

Commander Jin knew that the things were probably done by those chaebols!

They are the only ones who can make Yin Maoxi, Jin Zhongxiu and other insects cooperate like this.

"It's obvious. Yin Maoxi, your deputy and Jin Zhongxiu left alone! They took refuge with those insects!"

Commander Jin said angrily.

He can't fall out with Yin Maoxi yet, unless he finds a new replacement.
