Rebirth: Super Banking System

Chapter 1673: Chapter 1505: A New Structure (Request Subscription!)

In the face of natural disasters.

Humans are insignificant.

Tang Qing knew about several major earthquakes before his rebirth, but after that, he knew nothing. This means that if such a major earthquake occurs, all he can do is donate and contribute to post-disaster reconstruction.

Sigh.

He’s done his best.

"Tang Yi, establish a company in Myanmar focusing on building safety assessments, globally, and give me an assessment report as quickly as possible," Tang Qing instructed.

"Yes, Commander."

Building safety assessment.

An authoritative assessment agency is enough to gradually draw people’s attention.

By then.

Let the media hype it up a bit.

The effect should be noticeable.

As for how effective it would be, that’s unknown. The most thorough solution is to issue minimum earthquake resistance standards for self-built houses in the name of administrative regulations; if they don’t meet the standards, they can’t be built.

Relatively speaking.

The cost of framed houses would be a bit higher.

However.

It’s not so high that it’s outrageous; there’s some variation across regions, ranging from ten percent to as much as thirty-four percent more, but while the cost increases, the safety of the houses improves several times, if not ten times more.

In building regulations.

Pure brick houses.

Don’t have any earthquake resistance levels; they only have some crack resistance. Coupled with some corner-cutting in rural construction and some non-standard designs, the problem is worrying.

...

In the evening.

At home.

Tang Qing invites Zhong Liang and others to eat hot pot.

Non-spicy.

Bone and mushroom soup.

"This hot pot beef is amazing."

"I think the best part is the sauce prepared by the chef, unique to this place."

"That’s right."

"Haven’t eaten spicy food for a long time, and surprisingly, I don’t crave it."

Tang Qing just smiles.

Eating spicy food.

If eaten too much, it’s easy to ’kick the habit,’ like those illegal items, except the former can cause neurological dependency in a short time, whereas the spicy stimulus is not as fast.

But over time.

Eating bland food.

Feels tasteless.

Without spiciness it’s unjoyful, the heat feels satisfying, but the nerves have been ’spoiled,’ equivalent to ’addiction.’

Drinking his family’s fruit wine regularly even allows for quickly kicking illegal items, slightly repressing this dependency, but it doesn’t affect one’s taste, just losing the feeling of lacking X.

Moreover.

Lately, fruit wine has also been found to have miraculous effects on patients with anorexia.

Until now.

Supply is less than demand.

At this moment.

The news reaches the last ten minutes.

"This morning, the Korean Supreme Court conducted a final judgment on the former Vice Chairman of Samsung Group for several alleged crimes due to severe circumstances and significant impact, sentenced to permanent imprisonment."

"Similarly, on that morning, given a series of scandals and public outcry during this period, the Korean Congress narrowly passed an initial proposal for a final vote on the breakup of Samsung and other conglomerates."

"If the Congress officially passes the final vote, Samsung, the largest conglomerate in Korea, will be split into six companies."

"..."

The Korean news occupied a full minute, which was quite significant.

Listening.

Zhong Liang said enthusiastically:

"I wonder when this big drama will end."

"What big drama?"

Li Mo asked.

He’s generally not interested in such news.

Before Zhong Liang could respond.

Zeng Rou spoke instead.

"The big drama of Korean conglomerate splits. It started last year with an internal feud among the conglomerates, and over there, the chaebols were caught in public opinion and internal trouble, a complete mess."

"Public opposition to the chaebol economy has grown louder; initially, it had no effect, but as things escalated, more people got drawn into it, and it hasn’t calmed down."

Zeng Rou studied journalism; wouldn’t be a journalism student without paying attention to these.

Continuing.

She added.

"The former vice chairman of Samsung last month even said on live TV that he absolutely had no issues."

"However, before the press conference was over, he was taken away by the prosecutor, and then this guy was impressive, maybe to reduce his sentence, he implicated a bunch of people, along with evidence."

"The last lively scene began."

"Samsung, as the last conglomerate deeply involved, couldn’t extricate itself. But the outcome is still unknown, as Korea is dominated by chaebols, the Congress may not ultimately pass."

"If it passes, tsk tsk, then it gets interesting."

"Too interesting."

Talking about this.

Zeng Rou found it amusing.

This past year.

South Korea indeed staged too many dramas, each thrilling and enough to shock the world. Gossip says Japanese and U.S. consortiums also intervened, almost getting entangled.

Laughter here.

The internet is even livelier.

Optimists.

Believe the breakup of the conglomerates will make social competition fairer since in Korea, entrepreneurship has almost no channels, most people have limited career paths, classes are strict, with severe class solidification.

Pessimists.

Worry that if this succeeds, Korea’s economy will regress for several years and might never recover, as although conglomerates block the ascent channels for ordinary people, their role cannot be denied.

Because of focus.

Because of size.

They have greater risk resistance capacity, more ability to focus a collective effort on major projects, become a unified force.

Of course.

Most people still enjoy seeing others meet misfortune.

Breaking up Samsung.

What does it have to do with people from other countries?

At the table.

The crowd is engaged in a lively discussion; Tang Qing remains peaceful inside, joking, in terms of understanding, no one knows more than he does, planning for so long, with plans interlocking, he has watched countless grand dramas.

Conglomerates.

Local public.

Korean upper class.

US intervention.

Japan adding fuel.

One thing after another.

Item by item.

Have pushed events to today.

After the new year, the final roundup began; back then, considering they’d also celebrate the Spring Festival, those conglomerates were allowed to have a relatively ’comfortable’ holiday, then they were appealing to U.S. consortiums for help.

Received promises.

Elated.

Unfortunately.

After the festival. noveldrama

The situation took a nosedive.

Tsk tsk.

Tang Qing took a deep breath, feeling no sympathy for this, regardless of whether the family business spans decades, they themselves aren’t clean, and they’ve become obstacles on his path.

At that time.

Tang Qing said when planning.

South Korea.

Doesn’t permit enterprises as dominant as Samsung to exist, its breakup is the core of the entire plan. Other Korean large conglomerates are relatively just the second tier, only in the limited breakup list.

Breaking them all apart would be too challenging.

Can only seize one typical example.

Samsung.

Must be broken.

Because you’re ranked number one.

Soon.

The new chaebol landscape of Korea.

Will take shape.

"Tang Qing, your Sky Eye also has a branch over there; do you know any inside stories?" Seeing Tang Qing eating quietly, Zeng Rou asked curiously. In terms of information, Tang Qing’s Sky Eye is practically a semi-intelligence station.

Personal information.

Business information.

Economic information.

Sky Eye has collection mechanisms; its sources are much more reliable than gossip.

"Not paying much attention," Tang Qing shook his head.

"Oh."

Suddenly.

Zeng Rou’s eyes shifted again.

"By the way, if they break up, will the companies be auctioned?"

"You’re overthinking; splitting doesn’t mean looting; it just separates companies into independent operations," Tang Qing explained, an anti-monopoly split doesn’t truly dismantle and then sell to others.

"I see."
