I Became Park Jeong-ui’s Nephew - Chapter 248

He became Park Jeong-ui’s nephew. – (248)

“Should we introduce value added tax?”

“On what basis? If I do that, my neck will be gone.”

This is Daedeok-gun, the capital of Korea.

Kim Jong-pil and his men continued their marathon meetings.

The Korean government is recently privatizing command of the Air Force due to financial problems, and it is not only Korea that is doing this; the United States is also accelerating the privatization of its military.

All 10,000 US troops stationed in Iraq belong to PMC contractors (private military contractors).

There are many applicants because the salary is four times that of active-duty soldiers.

Iraq is privatizing not only the military but also the police. Why would the United States, the world’s greatest nation, hire a private army?

The reality is so harsh that presidential candidate George Herbert Bush is even considering introducing a value-added tax because of the US government’s financial problems.

In this world, is it any wonder that South Korea privatized its air force? If there is no way to dramatically increase its finances, the government should play only the minimum role.

The problem starts now,

The US will introduce a value-added tax, which will impose more taxes on corporations, and corporations will then pass the burden on to ordinary citizens.

Do you think that strategy will resonate with voters?

Companies are also dissatisfied. What is the government doing that requires them to collect taxes every time a company produces something?

There is a prevailing opinion that presidential candidate George W. Bush will also withdraw his pledge.

Then what about Korea?

With 1/3 of government finances coming from the head of state’s pocket, are we going to extort another 300 billion from him by charging him VAT?

The head of state already pays a lot of money to the government, and when combined with the wages paid to workers, he is making a social contribution worth trillions of dollars.

But what is the basis for politicians who do not do any productive work to introduce a value-added tax and empty the pockets of the head of state?

Literally putting a bell around a tiger’s neck, everyone knows that government finances need to be increased, but no one dares open their mouth.

This is the reality of the Korean National Assembly,

Just as American politicians are subservient to businessmen, Korean politicians are also subservient to the head of state.

Every year, the heads of state give 15 billion won in political funds to politicians. How could politicians make ends meet without this money?

This is why Korea is running as a corporate state. It has always depended on the financial resources of the head of state, and nothing has changed.

Can we dare to advocate the introduction of value-added tax in such a country?

Kim Jong-pil also knows that, but introducing a value-added tax is essential to strengthen the government’s power, but if that leads to price increases and a burden on consumers, the political blow will be significant.

Even with the introduction of parliamentary democracy, Korea is destined to forever be played by the hands of its head of state, and Kim Jong-pil has admitted that he is a puppet.

‘Even though we kicked out Park Jeong-ui, nothing has changed. Both I and that man are just monkeys playing at the hands of the head of state.’

Even if Son Oh-gong runs wild, he will eventually be in the palm of Buddha’s hand.

The owner of the country was already decided from the beginning, so why did politicians fight so much over this prime ministerial position?

In this way, Kim Jong-pil was unable to escape the status of a vegetable prime minister.

“Your Majesty, welcome. Thank you for coming such a long way.”

“Yes, nice to meet you.”

This is America,

I came face to face with presidential candidate George Herbert Bush.

The introduction of value-added tax is now a hot potato in the United States, and there are many opinions that this is the only way to increase government revenue, but it infringes on the rights of businesses and consumers.

Daehan Transportation already pays $1.6 billion in taxes to the United States, so how much more will it have to pay if VAT is introduced?

So, the US presidential candidates are just watching, but if I say I’ll pay the money, everything will be resolved.

The net income of Daehan Transportation in the United States is about 700 million dollars, and we can give up the information of 200 million dollars.

But I will have to pay a price for that. What can the US government give me? Candidate George W. Bush made a radical proposal.

“How large is the bridge project that Daehan Transportation is currently promoting?”

“In terms of overall size, it would be about 3% of the United States.”

“I will guarantee you 7%.”

The bridge project is the foundation work of laying the city’s infrastructure.

This year marks the 42nd year that the U.S. government has been promoting this project.

Initially, more than 10,000 bridges were built annually, but later, as government finances worsened, the number decreased to 6,000, and the U.S., with its manufacturing base collapsing, had its infrastructure in shambles.

What will be the result?

The role of a company is to create products from raw materials and increase their added value, but if the infrastructure is destroyed, you can’t sell products even if you want to.

For example, about 60% of the bacon dressing currently sold in Texas is a brand produced by Daehan Transportation.

Surely there isn’t a company in Texas that makes a single dressing?

Even if you make dressing, the problem is how to distribute it.

The cost of distributing the dressing is greater than the cost of making it, and this determines the success or failure of the distribution market.

Daehan Transportation has a monopoly on the food distribution in Texas because it invests $300 million a year in it, and the bridge project is no different.

It’s a business that someone has to do, but it costs a lot of money, so isn’t everyone just passing it on to others?

In this way, I gradually took over American logistics, and even the American presidential candidates bowed their heads to me.

If he had been talking about introducing a value-added tax without even knowing his own position, I would have said something, but candidate George W. Bush knew how to make a deal.

“We’ll guarantee the US government an additional $200 million in value-added tax.”

“Is that true?”

“Yes, I have approved it, so you can use it as a pledge.”

“Thank you. If I am elected president, I will not forget this favor.”

“What kind of favor is that? You and I made a deal. You don’t have to worry about it.”

I gave a gift to candidate George W. Bush and headed to Texas.

It was also the ruler’s role to inspect the occupied territories, and since he stayed in Korea for a while, he was unable to inspect overseas territories.

Are the products distributed by Daehan Transportation capturing the hearts of consumers?

If the price is cheap, it is considered cheap. I hope that the bacon dressing produced by Daehan Transportation will be treated as the best in Texas and the United States.

Bacon dressing is a staple that Americans add to their salads.

I even brought other products and tasted and evaluated them myself.

It is a little less sour than other products, but Americans love sour flavors so much that they even drink sour hot sauce and pickle juice.

We listened to the opinions of local factory managers, concerned that if the sourness was a little lacking, it might give the impression that there was a shortage of raw materials.

“It’s true that it’s definitely lacking in sourness. But it’s a bit tricky to change the production line….”

“You should have said something sooner. It’s because we’re stingy with things like that that our products are being treated as cheap in the US. Who am I to invest in something like this?”

“I’m sorry, sir, I will correct it.”

“Change the production line quickly and start producing the product again. I can’t tolerate being treated like cheap people just because the price is low.”

There is no middle ground in American consumption patterns.

Whether you buy something really good or really cheap, Daehan Transportation has dominated the U.S. market with its low-price offensive so far, but because of that, it is treated as cheap by some consumers.

I don’t like that,

It is only a matter of time before the US government introduces a value-added tax, which will force US companies to raise prices or lower quality.

If you go in now, you’re sure to win. If you invest just a little bit, you can win, so why save that money?

Some people might laugh at me for being so serious about that dressing.

However, as the distribution structure in the United States has developed recently, vegetable consumption is increasing, and companies are developing various dressings to eat tasteless vegetables.

You can’t buy a TV every day, but you have to eat dressing every day. If you monopolize just this, the measly $200 million you’ll give to the US government will be nothing.

Daehan Transportation has come this far because it monopolized the distribution networks in Korea and Japan, and now I am faced with the great task of conquering the American market.

The measly $200 million they gave to George W. Bush was a drop in the bucket, and they’ve swept up even more money than that.

[George Bush, elected 41st President of the United States]

[US government moves to improve funding by introducing value-added tax]

This is the Daedeok County official residence.

I saw President George W. Bush’s victory in the newspaper.

American companies, which are in an uproar over the introduction of the value-added tax, are all threatening to raise prices by 7%.

Regardless, I deposited $1.8 billion into the US government.

The price increase was also minimized to 2.2%.

Processed foods are relatively free from price increases because they can be mass-produced. So what would consumers choose?

They chose a brand produced by Daehan Transportation, and the management team predicted that sales would increase by more than 20% compared to last year.

But the most important thing is quality,

We also visited a school that supplied bacon dressing.

Adults may not know it, but children don’t lie, so we listened to what our future customers had to say.

“Hey guys, how does the dressing taste?”

“it is delicious.”

“Really? It tastes better than what other companies make?”

“Yes, it’s sweet and sour, so it’s delicious.”

“Haha~ Thank you for saying that. I’ll try to make it more delicious, so eat lots of vegetables.”

American reporters captured this scene on camera.

Doesn’t Daehan Transportation, which has minimized price increases and improved quality, stand in stark contrast to other American companies?

Moreover, when the rumor spread that I had paid $1.8 billion in taxes to the U.S. government, Americans became more active in purchasing Daehan Transportation products.

The increase in dressing sales means that vegetable production has also increased, and thanks to this, the vegetables supplied by Daehan Transportation have increased by 18% compared to last year.

As the number of ways to make money continues to increase, the backlash has also become more severe.

“Please stop!! Are you planning on taking over the food market now?!!”

“The Korean enemy must stop its indiscriminate monopoly!!”

American businesses rose up en masse.

It’s so unfair that the richest man in the world is involved in the dressing business, but consumers don’t know that.

Just eat cheap and good products, what’s the complaint about the company that pays the most taxes in the US?

The chairman of a large corporation was highly praised by housewives for caring about children’s tastes. Whether in Korea or the United States, feeding children vegetables is a big deal, and children eat vegetables because companies develop delicious dressings.

I’m not trying to monopolize anything, I’m just developing foods that suit the tastes of Americans, and I’ve legally taken over the food market.

Every time children eat vegetables, their wallets get fatter. The operating profit of Sanha Foods, a subsidiary of Daehan Transportation, has jumped 32% compared to 4 years ago.

The amount allocated to me is about 200 billion won in Korean currency, and Korea’s annual budget is about 3 trillion won, but a single food company alone took this much money.

The Korean government is in chaos due to lack of money these days.

So, should I give this money to the Korean government?

If I were a businessman, I would have eaten it all up, but since I am also the head of state of Korea, I distributed some of the money to the Korean government.

If this is done, Prime Minister Kim Jong-pil will also be able to escape the stigma of being a vegetable prime minister. Let’s give him 60 billion won and he will spur welfare policies that have been delayed for a long time.
