Investor That Can See The Future

Chapter 385

Kang Jin-hoo’s arrival was an issue not only in Germany but also in Europe.

Not surprisingly, he is young and has the most wealth in the world. With that amount of money, it would be possible to move the country.

It can be seen from the fact that Korea’s international position has changed due to Kang Jin-hoo’s existence.

The most important thing is that she is still single.

European royalty, aristocrats, and wealthy people all paid attention to Kang Jin-hoo, and celebrities, models, and ordinary women also dreamed of a Cinderella story.

Inviting him to a party or taking his daughter to a meeting, he uses various methods to attract attention after the earthquake, but he always brings his lover with him. And the lover has a beauty enough to be a model in Paris or Milan.

It is a known fact that the two are living together. Of course, a romantic relationship is something that can be broken up at any time… … .

Because we kept going together and working together, the women couldn’t even get a chance to approach them.

Then everyone thought of this.

‘Is the deputy chief not coming?’

‘Ah! I want to see the deputy representative.’

‘A second person is fine.’

‘It’s not as good as Jinhu Kang, but he’s also the second richest person in the world.’

‘If you know it, there is a saying that it’s real money… … .’

‘If I go to Korea, will I be able to meet you?’

The person who was not aware of this fact was lying on the sofa and having a happy time.

In the economy, monopoly is evil.

Because it undermines the basic principles of the market. However, if you look, there are quite a few companies that enjoy a monopoly position.

Microsoft’s Windows, Google’s search engine and Andromeda, Adobe’s application software, Intel’s computer CPU, Qualcomm’s smartphone AP, etc.

Karos also has a monopoly on autonomous driving, but we are following the same strategy of selling software as Microsoft.

Therefore, other car companies can use Karos’ software as much as they want by paying a certain amount. Of course, a car is more expensive than a computer, so you have to pay that much.

It is the company’s choice whether to enter the Karos ecosystem like GM, Ford, and Eunsung Motors or create its own ecosystem.

German automakers met every day for a meeting. After Karos started solo, the three German companies have been working together to develop autonomous driving and electric vehicles.

In the meantime, I thought that I would be able to pursue as much as I could because I was proud of the technological prowess of German cars, but the results were not good.

In fact, there is no need to talk about the technological prowess of German cars. Not only the engine and mission, but also the design, various options, and convenience devices are unmatched by anyone.

Although Karos has developed a lot, it is still a long way from Benz or BMW in terms of luxury such as interior finish and leather texture.

But that’s it, and it’s a different story when it comes to autonomous driving technology and battery technology.

The three German companies have also completed self-driving car tests in several countries, but have not yet reached the stage of mass production. On the other hand, Karos has already been piloting driverless taxis and continues to widen the technology gap.

Everyone clicked inwardly. Who would have imagined that the three traditional German companies would be defeated by a start-up?

It’s just that the timing of the change is a little late.

Although Karos is currently exporting to Europe, there is not much export volume due to the focus on the US market. It is difficult to meet the demand in the North American market with the launch of a new car, so there is a limit to increasing exports in the future.

But right now, awareness is more important than sales. The Carlos has clearly imprinted the image of the most cutting-edge technology car in Europe.

Although it has not yet released a large luxury car model, it is highly likely that it will enter the market soon.

Even if Karos focuses on the North American market, GM, Ford, and Eunsung have dozens of factories in Europe.

What will happen if the OTK battery supply and demand situation improves and all of these factories are converted to electric vehicle factories?

In addition, the EU has stricter environmental regulations than other countries, and is sparing no support to increase the number of eco-friendly vehicles.

Germany will do whatever it takes to protect its companies, but other EU countries won’t. In France, even the president has already taken an active role in alliance with Carlos.

The reason Japan changed its attitude this time was also because of the power that Karos had in the automobile industry.

With everyone unable to make a decision, BMW Group Chairman Tobias Hilbert said.

“There is no more time to hesitate. Over time, we may end up clinging to Karos. We need to quickly establish a technological alliance and preempt high-end cars that Karos has not entered in the autonomous electric vehicle market.”

The BMW Group has continued to have a relationship with the Seosung Group, such as using Seosung SB batteries in the past, and there was a personal acquaintance between Chairman Hilbert and Chairman Im Jin-yong.

However, Daimler AG Chairman Günter Hartmann and Volkswagen Group Chairman Georg Röer had slightly different opinions.

Daimler AG was in the position that it should invest more in developing its own technology, and the Volkswagen Group was in the position that it should never accept OTK batteries as much as in autonomous driving.

The three companies decided to continue pursuing joint cooperation, but decided to follow their own paths.

Chairman Im Jin-yong met European automakers and conducted sales.

Just as Qualcomm can sell more APs as the spread of smartphones increases, the more self-driving electric vehicles, the more Suseong Electronics and Suseong SB will benefit.

So, the president himself will be running hard with his feet.

The trade dispute between Korea and Japan ended with Japan taking a step back, but the level of economic cooperation between Korea and the EU grew bigger.

The scope of cooperation has greatly increased from the original purpose of precision machinery, materials, and parts to the fields of culture, tourism and finance.

It was difficult to find a hotel room as executives and executives of EU companies flocked to Berlin to Berlin.

Requests to meet were lined up from all over the place. Among them were invitations from royal families or noble families. The King of the Netherlands, the King of Spain, the King of Denmark, the King of Belgium, the Archduke of Luxembourg, etc.

Although the privileges of the nobility have disappeared, titles remain in some countries.

“How amazing. In the 21st century, royalty or aristocrats.”

Ellie smiled.

“Why are you doing this all over again? I even met the king of Norway.”

The history of the rich in Korea is only a few decades. In the meantime, the chaebols have built their own strongholds. However, European royalty and nobles have inherited the honor from a long time ago, and the rich have also built wealth for hundreds of years.

As such, the class is fixed, and it is very difficult to get into it.

“How would you feel if you had a title like a king or a grand duke?”

“Isn’t Jinhu much better than a king with no power and only honor? So everyone wants to meet like this. It seems like everyone is trying to do something with Jinhoo.”

Strangely, everywhere they went, beauties abounded. As long as I’m with Ellie, I didn’t do any work.

Ellie said as if giving her pint glass.

“I wish Jinhoo would be good. She is popular.”

I laughed bitterly.

“It’s all about money.”

If it wasn’t for money, would you have paid any attention to an Asian young man?

While I was in Berlin, anti-refugee protests broke out again in Europe. Because the two events happened almost simultaneously.

One was when a boat with refugees overturned while crossing the Mediterranean, killing about 50 people, including children. The exact number of deaths has not yet been recorded, and the bodies of children are still being washed up on the beach.

Another is the case of gang rape of refugees in Germany. The victim was a university student and was known to have volunteered for refugees, so the Germans were even more shocked.

As a result, negative public opinion about refugees was simmering, and Prime Minister Maders’ approval rating for accepting refugees fell sharply.

Europe is as close to Africa as the Middle East and the Mediterranean Sea. As it is Europe just across the Mediterranean Sea, many refugees have crossed over by boat to escape dictatorship, hunger, and civil war.

The burgeoning number of refugees has been Europe’s headache. The EU has the Schengen Treaty guaranteeing freedom of movement, and border movement between member states is free.

However, unlike Europeans who share the common values ​​of Christianity and democracy even though they speak different languages, refugees from the Middle East and Africa differ greatly in race, language, religion, and culture.

Prime Minister Maders has repeatedly appealed to EU countries to host refugees.

It is not necessarily a humanitarian dimension, and as in most advanced countries, Europe is suffering from a low birth rate and an aging population. Therefore, refugee labor is needed for simple jobs.

But even in Germany, where the economy is the best in the EU, the opposition is so strong, what will other countries do?

The EU, which is no longer able to afford it, is giving Turkey a large amount of subsidy to accept refugees, barely preventing them from entering Europe.

Turkey is taking the money and threatening to stop accepting refugees whenever there is a conflict with the EU.

said Ellie.

“After all, the UK also left the EU because of the refugee issue.”

There are many factors in Brexit, but the refugee quota plays a large part among them.

In retrospect, the political unrest in Africa and the Middle East is largely to blame for the European countries that previously colonized them, especially Britain. But now it has come back as a boomerang of refugees.

“Korea was also noisy last time because of refugees.”

“right. I just thought it was someone else’s business.”

Dozens of Syrian refugees from South Korea also entered the country and applied for refugee status, which became a social issue.

I was thinking about what the civil war in another country had to do with us, but suddenly sparks splattered here.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

The enjoyment of rights in the international community comes with responsibilities and obligations. Even in countries with lower economic power than Korea, it is difficult to deny that only South Korea will not accept refugees.

However, South Korea is already dealing with a huge number of refugees called North Korean defectors. In addition, there is a realistic problem of cost to accept even Middle Eastern refugees.

In fact, the most effective way to stop refugees is to stabilize the situation in their home country, such as ending the civil war. Then there will be no more refugees, and the refugees will return.

However, the international community is not using much of its power.

I muttered as I looked at the pictures of the beach in the newspaper.

“The world is not fair.”

Children cannot choose their nationality. I also didn’t become Korean because I wanted to, I was just born in Korea.

Just because you were born in a developed country, you can enjoy many rights, such as medical care, education, and employment. However, if you are born in a country in a civil war, you become a refugee.

What the hell did those kids do wrong?

“If I could make more money, would I be able to solve those problems?”

Ellie shook her head.

“no. No matter how much money you have, you can’t solve all the problems in the world.”

I smiled bitterly.

“Is that so too?”

Ellie hugged me from behind and said.

“But we can make the world a better place. A person can live with just a little hope.”

“Can I do that?”

“of course. If it’s Jin-hoo, it can be clear.”

My role in Europe is over.

I told the business people to take care of the rest of the day, and I decided to return to Korea. I finally met and talked to the French president and the executives.

President Blanc said frankly, calling for increased investment in France.

“Europe faces a number of problems. But no matter what difficulties we face, we will continue to uphold the value of a united Europe.”

Division and strife produce nothing. If it was a lesson learned from the two world wars, it would be a lesson.

I nodded.

“I will spare no effort in helping Europe to integrate and develop.”
