And the South Korean president, after seeing this poem, also went diving.
What he saw was from a different perspective than what ordinary South Koreans saw.
At that time, the Tang Dynasty was nearing its end. Almost all the land was in the hands of the Five Clans and Seven Powers, and all walks of life were controlled by them. Even in the court and among the officials, almost all were people from the Five Clans and Seven Powers.
The emperor was incredibly frustrated. He watched as the fate of the world was sealed, and he wanted to turn the tide, but he couldn't do anything. The five clans and seven powerful families refused to give up any of their land to help the people.
Just then, a severe drought struck the land, and uprisings broke out everywhere. The emperor devised a plan: "If I can't deal with you, then I'll let someone else do it."
He asked around about the leaders of these rebel armies and found that Huang Chao hated people from powerful and aristocratic families. So, he secretly made some changes to the deployment of his army.
This allowed Huang Chao to advance unimpeded into Chang'an, while he feigned defeat and secretly went into hiding.
As expected, Huang Chao lived up to expectations. After entering Chang'an, he indiscriminately slaughtered the five surnames and seven noble families, leaving no one alive.
Seeing that the time was right, the emperor led his army back to Chang'an, killed Huang Chao, avenged the Five Clans and Seven Noble Families, and took over their property.
The emperor's move extended the Tang Dynasty's life by twenty years, but unfortunately, the Tang Dynasty ultimately could not escape the historical tide of dynastic change.
The South Korean president sighed, lamenting that he was now much like the Tang emperor of that time.
No, his situation was not as good as that of the Tang Emperor. At least the Tang Emperor himself came from a prominent family, just not one of the Five Surnames and Seven Noble Families.
As for himself, a commoner with no background, he climbed to his current position step by step, only to find that he was just a puppet.
Where is my Huang Chao?
Can't we just shut down these South Korean conglomerates?
Suddenly, an idea struck him.
Hmm? Could this "Huang Chao" (a reference to a famous Chinese internet celebrity) be my next big thing?
The South Korean president thought it made more and more sense. After much deliberation, he sent his trusted aide to find Lin Chen's phone number and make the call.
"Hello, is this Mr. Lin Chen?"
"Yes, that's me. May I ask who you are?"
"Hello, my name is Choi Dae-sung, the current president of South Korea."
Huh? Lin Chen was taken aback. The South Korean president was calling him? Was he being scammed?
"Hey, you telecom fraudsters are getting more and more outrageous! You're even impersonating the South Korean president! I'm Qin Shi Huang!"
With a snap, Lin Chen hung up the phone.
Cui Dacheng was speechless, but thinking about it, it was normal. If an ordinary person suddenly received a call from someone claiming to be the president, they would definitely be mistaken for a telecom fraudster. It can only be said that telecom fraud really does harm people a lot.
However, I can only talk to Lin Chen about this directly; I can't talk to Zhang San from Xingchen Technology's overseas office—he's not high enough in terms of status!
He called Lin Chen again.
"Mr. Lin, please don't hang up yet. I really am Cui Dacheng. I have something important to discuss with you about Huasuan Payment."
"Oh? Then tell me about it."
"I want to support Huasuan Payment so that the Koreans can conduct their business normally, but I need you to help me deal with the five major conglomerates."
"I'll help you deal with the five major conglomerates, and you expect me to conduct business normally? Do you think I'm stupid? Are these two things the same difficulty level?"
Lin Chen was furious. Did this person not know the difference between kings and queens? Who was begging whom? Seriously, how did someone like this become president?
Cui Dacheng touched his nose; it seemed this Lin Chen wasn't so easily fooled.
He called again.
As soon as the call connected, Lin Chen's impatient voice rang out.
"I'm giving you one last chance. Don't try to play your political games with me again. I'm busy and don't have time."
Cui Dacheng almost cursed. Who the hell is the president? Even though you are the Celestial Empire, at least show me some respect!
"Mr. Lin, I sincerely want to cooperate with you. Name your terms."
Lin Chen stroked his chin and said.
"Let's not get too carried away. The five major conglomerates are deeply entrenched and not so easy to deal with."
"I understand that. I just want to have some capital to stand up to the chaebols."
"Actually, it's not like there's no way out at all."
"Oh? Mr. Lin, I'd like to hear more about it!"
"Ahem, I don't know if you've heard of me, but I have a nickname in China."
Cui Dacheng recalled the information he had collected about Lin Chen.
"Five million in consulting fees?"
"What five million! That's ancient history. With my current net worth, you think you can consult me for five million?"
"Ahem, may I ask what Mr. Lin's nickname is now?"
"I'm now asking for 500 million in consulting fees."
Hiss~~ Cui Dacheng gasped. Lin Chen was clearly blackmailing him, but he could also consider it a kind of pledge of allegiance.
Lin Chen was indeed extorting him, because Lin Chen wasn't sure if the other party was actually a telecom fraudster. Although the other party's story sounded plausible, telecom fraudsters these days are so sophisticated that they can impersonate anyone.
However, there is one particularly easy way to identify telecom fraud.
That means you ask them to send you money. If they actually do, then it's not a telecom fraud. But if they refuse to send you a single penny, then it's most likely a telecom fraud.
Cui Dacheng gritted his teeth.
“Okay, no problem! I’ll transfer the money to you right away! Mr. Lin, I hope you won’t take the money and not do the job. Although I’m just the president of South Korea, I still have the ability to recover this money from your country.”
This time it was Lin Chen's turn to be surprised. No way, you only need a few minutes to consider 500 million?
Oh no! Did I ask for too little?!
However, since he has already said it, he still has that much credibility, and this also indirectly confirms that the other party really is the South Korean president.
Lin Chen never expected that the South Korean president would come to see him because of the poem he posted on Douyin.
He just wanted to stir up trouble among the Korean people, so why did it involve the president?
A moment later, An Rou rushed in.
"Lin Chen, a sudden international transfer of 500 million yuan has come from South Korea. Do you know what's going on?"
Lin Chen covered the receiver with his hand and answered.
"Uh, this is the extra money I just earned."
Anrou: You call 500 million an extra income?
Seeing that Lin Chen was on the phone, An Rou gave him an OK sign and left.
Lin Chen removed his hand from the receiver and continued speaking.
"Mr. President, I have received the money. As expected of the South Korean president, international transfers are so fast."
"No problem, Mr. Lin. Now, can you tell me your plan?"
