I Became Park Jeong-ui’s Nephew - Chapter 183

He became Park Jeong-ui’s nephew. – (183)

“Everyone, why should we pay tithes?”

“To go to heaven and be blessed.”

“That’s right. If we give just one-tenth of what we have, God will pay us back tenfold, a hundredfold. So why don’t you guide us through it?”

This is a church in Gyeongseong,

The pastor began to explain the necessity of tithing to the congregation.

In Korea, religion is basically about fortune telling, believing in the end so that I can do well, be blessed, and go to a good place when I die.

Then what about abroad?

American billionaire Rockefeller said this in his autobiography.

[I have made more money by sharing my wealth with others. This is all a gift from God to me because I have kept the tithe well.]

So did Rockefeller really become a billionaire because he paid his tithes well?

First of all, this causality is wrong.

After becoming a billionaire in the oil business, Rockefeller lived a life of luxury until he was advised by a pastor to give up what he had.

Rockefeller, who had given up on business and was suffering from depression, took those words to heart and became famous for his active social service activities.

In the end, the idea that Rockefeller received God’s grace and made money through tithes is a fabrication.

To be precise, Rockefeller was not a man who received God’s grace; he was God himself.

Does this sound like an exaggeration?

Rockefeller revolutionized the oil industry by developing his own pipeline, which reduced the price of refining oil to one-third of its previous price.

This is the secret to how Rockefeller was able to supply cheap oil throughout the United States.

But those who put law and order first demonized Rockefeller and tore his empire apart into more than 30 separate companies.

What happened to America as a result?

As oil prices soared like crazy, ordinary people fell into despair, and then-U.S. President Theodore Roosevelt was forced to admit his mistakes.

I thought justice would be served by overthrowing the oil tyrant, but that wasn’t the case.

In reality, Rockefeller was not a monster or a devil trying to devour America.

The same goes for the so-called ‘Cleveland Massacre’ of 1872, when Rockefeller committed the enormous crime of purchasing 22 of the 26 oil companies in Cleveland.

Is this even possible in common sense?

Public opinion attacked Rockefeller, saying that he had clearly done something wrong, but Rockefeller had merged the companies through legitimate means.

He chose to make active investments by bringing his younger brother into the business to secure funds and even purchasing his partner’s shares. When the company made profits, he immediately reinvested them, thereby lowering the cost of production.

This is the secret to Rockefeller’s advantage over other competing companies.

They showed their ability to reduce refining costs by 1/3 and to separate and sell chemicals such as tar, gas, and naphtha generated during the refining process.

Isn’t it natural for such a company to grow and absorb its competitors?

But Rockefeller’s competitors had to demonize him.

Otherwise they would be the devil, what did the competitors do when Rockefeller brought down the price of oil through corporate innovation?

They were content with the existing system of selling oil at $13 a barrel and making a profit of $5 to $8, and there was no innovation or competition for them.

If they maintain the existing system and reap the benefits, that’s it. If you look closely, even the U.S. state governments are accomplices.

At the time, taxes on oil were a major source of revenue for state governments, so falling oil prices were not good for them.

So, isn’t the government breaking up all of Rockefeller’s companies that were selling oil cheaply?

So what was the result?

The suffering of the common people due to the surge in oil prices and inflation, they did not kill the devil, but tried to crucify Jesus, who came down to save mankind.

In fact, Rockefeller donated a lot through philanthropy, and the myth was distorted and reborn as a lie that ‘tithing brought great success to Rockefeller.’

Looking at this, isn’t the real God Rockefeller?

Rockefeller, who monopolized the American oil industry, could have raised the price of oil, but instead, he kept the price low.

Just looking at this, you can tell that this person is beyond the category of a criminal.

Monopoly is bad?

Some people think that if companies compete with each other, prices will fall, but this could actually lead to a tragedy where prices rise.

“Hey, let’s just collude.”

“Yeah, if we compete with each other, the costs will only increase and the damage will be great, right?”

Before Rockefeller came along, there was no innovation or anything like that in the oil companies, and it was common for them to just operate within the system they had set up.

Here comes Rockefeller and causes chaos by lowering the price of oil. Is monopoly really a bad thing?

The emergence of a company called Daehan Transportation had a huge impact on the United States.

[Park Sang-geun is the second Rockefeller]

[He monopolized the distribution structure, lowered the prices of goods, and stabilized prices in East Asia. He also reinvested the profits in manufacturing, making huge profits.]

[The estimated wealth is approximately $11.5 billion based on US standards, and even if the money of the top 10 richest people in the US were combined, it would not exceed Park Sang-geun’s wealth.]

[Korea’s manufacturing production capacity is 2.4 times that of the US, and the US is no longer number one in the world.]

Even during World War II, the United States produced quantities that astonished the Axis powers.

Who supported Britain when it was under German attack?

Who supplied unlimited steel to the Soviet Union during the German-Soviet War?

Who broke the pride of the Japanese Empire, which had been trampling on East Asia without fear? At that time, the United States was literally waging war against the world.

But now that powerful manufacturing base has been completely destroyed,

Currently, the number of ships that Daehan Transportation ships for export per month is 14.

On the other hand, the US is picking up 8 ships, which is hard to believe, but it is a reality.

What’s been happening in America over the past 27 years?

No, how did Korea rise to a status that surpassed that of the United States in less than 30 years since liberation?

The answer is already out there.

Just like Rockefeller, Park Sang-geun monopolized the distribution structure and lowered production costs to the limit to maximize accessibility for consumers.

Profits are immediately converted into production and development investment funds.

As this circular structure has continued to exist, Daehan Transportation has come to dominate 83% of the Asian distribution market and 77% of the manufacturing industry.

In fact, 80% of the Asian economy is in the hands of Korea Transport.

Now, it is looking beyond Asia to the Eurasian continent – ​​even to the United States.

Then should the world treat Daehan Transportation, or rather Park Sang-geun, as its enemy?

Thanks to this person, 240 million people in Asia are supplied with goods at cheap prices, and manufacturing has also increased significantly, recently creating more than 6 million new jobs.

Is Park Sang-geun an absolute evil trying to monopolize the world, or a savior sent from heaven?

America is in chaos.

The success story of monopoly that Rockefeller demonstrated a century ago, but the United States encouraged competition in the name of preventing monopolies and as a result accepted the worst report card of ‘corporate collusion’ and ‘decline in competitiveness.’

The Asian economy is still growing like crazy,

If this continues, won’t the center of the world shift from the United States to Korea?

Opinions have arisen that the economic structure should be reorganized around large corporations, starting now.

“What is the situation here?”

“Yes, sir, there are no problems with security or the economy.”

“That’s right, since you invested so much.”

This is Andong Province, China.

I toured the city with the local leader, Li Chenwei.

Andong Province was developed as a heavy chemical complex by the Japanese Empire, but when Japan was defeated and the area was taken over by China, the local economy declined.

Did the Chinese Communist Party even realize the importance of this place?

With factories and local economies torn apart by the Cultural Revolution and no countries to interact with, it was only natural that people’s lives would become miserable.

So, the Chinese risked their lives to cross the Korean border.

I even installed an electric fence to keep the cockroaches out, but this didn’t solve the fundamental problem.

If we give them a way to eat and live, won’t the Chinese people live there quietly?

In addition, the area north of the 38th parallel is also Korean territory, and trade with China was not an option but a necessity for economic development.

‘Oh, really? Will burning the cockroaches with electricity solve the problem? Let’s make the cockroach den a place where people can live.’

That’s how the business started,

Andong Province grew with the investment of Daehan Transportation.

As trade routes with Korea opened, the economy maintained annual growth of 5%, and the income of local residents increased sevenfold in five years.

At this point, Andong Province is no longer Chinese territory but a Korean special economic zone, and Li Chenwei did not hide that fact.

“Your Majesty, I have something to tell you.”

“What?”

“Now we want to become a part of Korea. Please incorporate Andong Province into Korean territory.”

“Haha~ Well? That doesn’t look very nice.”

I rejected Li Chenwei’s offer.

In America these days, people treat me as if I were Rockefeller, but if you think about it, I’m one step ahead of him.

Rockefeller only acquired companies, but I am merging cities and countries.

Starting with Shanghai, it has also economically subordinated Taiwan, Nanjing, and recently even Japan.

The monster that devours the world has now advanced to California, USA.

In this situation, if I accept Andong as a part of Korea, how will the world view me?

Whatever my intentions, the world will see me as an invader.

So, Andong Province will remain an autonomous region in the future, and even if it is not incorporated into Korean territory, it will be given similar benefits.

“You’ve done well so far. If you continue to do so, there’s no reason why I can’t give you permanent power.”

“Thank you, Marshal. From now on, we will remain absolutely loyal to you, Marshal… no, to Korea.”

“That’s fine. I’ll call you to Gyeongseong soon, so let’s establish formal diplomatic relations.”

“All right.”

Li Chenwei promised to visit Gyeongseong.

On the surface, it is for the purpose of establishing diplomatic relations with Korea, but in reality, it is only a ceremony to swear obedience and subordination.

After exploring Andong, I moved back to Nanjing.

This administrative district also has a population of 30 million, and since a lot of investment has been made, we checked to see if the economy is doing well.

The city developed amazingly through exchanges with Korea, and the Taegeukgi (Korean flag) was waving everywhere on the buildings.

“Long live the Republic of Korea!!”

“Long live the head of state!!”

As we approached the square, huge crowds of people poured out from all directions.

Is this really the place where 30 million Chinese people swarmed?

It has only been five years since Nanjing became Korean territory, but it has created an atmosphere as if it had been Korean territory for a long time.

But don’t let your guard down,

I know very well how President Kennedy died.

No matter how much public respect he has, it is not wise for a leader to throw himself into such a large crowd.

The security team also gave instructions to Nanjing Chief Executive Liu Qixiao to clear the surrounding area.

“For the sake of your enemy’s safety, please repel the people.”

“Yes? Ha… But aren’t there many people welcoming you, Marshal?”

“Your Majesty, you have come to check if the security here is good. You did not expect this kind of hospitality. For your safety, you are prohibited from approaching within 30 meters.”

As soon as the order was given, all people within 30 meters of the vehicle were controlled.

A development that pours cold water on the bustling atmosphere,

I could have waved to the crowd, but as soon as I got off at the plaza, I went inside the building.
