Chapter 466: Bad Start of the Year
The year 2003 has arrived, and according to many people's superstitions, it is a very auspicious year.
Li You was invited to the United States. The American real estate tycoon Willump, whom he met last time, invited him to the United States to watch the launch of a space shuttle.
When the two met, they almost became friends regardless of age.
Willump always has some inexplicable jokes and funny points, and few people can understand them except Li You.
“Those people are so backward,” Willump complained. “They don’t understand a real joke.”
This golden-haired old man, who graduated from such a serious school as the New York Military Academy, was a very flamboyant person. He eventually couldn't stand this school and transferred to study real estate.
Compared to Li You, this is a professional.
When it comes to real estate, he is truly a professional.
Twenty years ago, the real estate industry in Manhattan was in crisis. Inflation caused the cost of these buildings to soar, resulting in a fiscal deficit and making New Yorkers panic.
But he concluded that as an economic center, New York City would surely recover. With his unique vision, he acquired some abandoned buildings near New York, renovated them, and after several changes of hands, he accumulated some foundations.
From then on, various outstanding investments emerged one after another. Although not as good as those of the world's top investors, they were enough to make his life colorful.
“Do you know how to play golf?” Willump raised his eyebrows and asked before the space shuttle was launched in the distance.
"The fight wasn't very good," Li You rarely fought with this thing. When he fought with this thing on the Korean Peninsula, he was usually talking to people about things.
Willump really loves this sport. He put his hand on Li You's shoulder and said, "I bought a two-mile long field near Los Angeles last year. It will be built soon. The field is near the coast and the scenery is very nice."
“Next time you come to the United States, remember to come find me,” Willump clapped his hands. “I want to show you real golf.”
The space shuttle in the distance has begun to slowly ignite.
Willump enjoyed the scene. “I haven’t seen anything like this in years.”
“Going beyond the Earth is truly one of the greatest creations of mankind.”
Li You raised his eyebrows and said, "No wonder you will be wearing the same pants with the foreign Ma Ge in the future."
"Columbia is the oldest space shuttle," Willump said, looking at the flames at its tail. "This is already its 28th flight mission."
"What are they going to do?"
Willump chuckled. “I don’t care. I just like watching it go up.”
The shuttle traced a path across the sky, and the two men looked up at it until it disappeared from view.
The two had dinner together. At the table, Willump asked Li You mysteriously, "What does it feel like to support a president?"
Li You was stunned for a moment. He was of course a little surprised. He couldn't possibly have such thoughts just because of Willump. "It's really interesting."
Willump sighed, "Your Korean presidential election is really exciting."
He gestured, "It's such a small place, but it can cause such a big controversy, and both sides have their own reasons."
Li You laughed a little, "You want to come too?"
"Me?" The blond old man shook his head. His long hair was combed back and did not sway with his head. "I have no interest in supporting a president. Besides, this is not South Korea. I can't support a president even if I dream of it."
He winked at Li You and said, "If I had the chance, I would like to be the president of the United States and see what it feels like."
“.”
Li You looked at him helplessly, and Willump was no longer surprised by this kind of look.
This strange look has been with him since he started making cameo appearances in various movies as a top real estate tycoon.
“If you hadn’t intervened this time, I wouldn’t have known you guys would have had so much fun,” Willump clapped his hands, calling the waiter over and asking him for a can of Diet Coke.
Although it was a bit strange to drink this in such a high-end restaurant, Willump was used to it and had to drink it today since he hadn't tried it yet.
Just like going out to visit a tourist attraction with friends, after accepting Willump's hospitality, Li You returned to the Korean Peninsula.
Ten days after returning to the Korean Peninsula, on February 1, 2003, he saw emergency news on TV.
Although Willump also called Li You, it was said that the Columbia space shuttle began to return to Earth according to routine procedures today.
However, at around 9 a.m. in the United States, the Space Shuttle Control Center noticed something unusual.
On Columbia's left wing, the temperature sensor data disappeared first, followed by the tire pressure data on the left side of the shuttle.
Finally, the entire space shuttle disintegrated in the air.
In fact, he didn't need to say it, even the official TV station of the Korean Peninsula began broadcasting a video recording that clearly captured the disintegration process.
In fact, this issue has been discussed by many people on the Korean Peninsula.
After all, the Korean Peninsula's aerospace industry started in the 1980s, but it has not developed to any level until now.
Since the 1960s, the Korean Peninsula has achieved rapid economic development. Under the leadership of the Daeyoung Group, the Sunyang Group, and the Cheoncheon Group, the Korean Peninsula's shipbuilding, tire, automobile, steel, semiconductor and other industries are among the best in the world, creating the Han River Miracle and becoming a developed country.
But for a country, the aerospace industry is indeed a very important factor in measuring its scientific and technological strength and economic strength.
"Should we take advantage of this opportunity to do something?"
When Chen Daojun asked this, Li You suddenly had an idea.
Although he cannot launch rockets on his own now, he can introduce cutting-edge aerospace technology from the United States.
There is no need to even introduce higher-level technology; it would be nice to introduce the technology from the space shuttle that just disintegrated.
As a thousand-year-old vassal state, the national consciousness on the peninsula was stimulated during the Japanese occupation period. Later, with the continuous strengthening of economic development, although it is still a follower of others, it also has extremely high national self-esteem, so it also wants to compete in cutting-edge technologies including aerospace.
If he could send some Koreans to heaven.
Li You narrowed his eyes. This plan is feasible, but it will backfire on him if he is not careful.
He couldn't bring the Golden Gate Group or Future Electronics in personally, so he had to find someone to take the lead.
He told Chen Daojun about some of his concerns, and he hadn't found any suitable candidate. It's not that the big chaebols on the Korean Peninsula had not considered such things in the past, but the risks were too great.
The current public opinion environment has always been like this: if you succeed, you will be widely praised, but if you fail and pay with your life, no one will care about you.
"Why not buy some Boeing or Lockheed stock first?"
Li You narrowed his eyes and preferred Lockheed Martin.
The reason is simple. This company is not just a commercial company. It is a world leader in the fields of aviation, aerospace, and electronics, and is also the world's largest fighter jet manufacturer.
In the aerospace sector, the company controls the production and launch of all U.S. military satellites and is even the main manufacturer of U.S. intercontinental missiles.
Including but not limited to strategic missile systems, strategic missile defense systems, tactical missile systems, anti-tank missiles, etc.
"I can't buy it," Li You shook his head. "Not only has this company achieved tremendous development in the past few years, but it is also a military-industrial enterprise."
Chen Daojun also sighed. Li You’s idea was too far-fetched, and this was all he could think of.
The two sighed face to face, and realized that now Kinmen Group and Future Electronics can only develop slowly and there are no shortcuts.
Li You twisted his neck and looked at Li Youmo who was standing over, "What's wrong?"
"Representative Chen Runji is here."
Li You looked at Chen Daojun with a teasing look on his face. This was the first time the father and son met in front of him. "Do you want to avoid him?"
"What's there to avoid?" Chen Daojun knew that his father Chen Runji was an executive at Golden Gate Entertainment and even guest-starred as a director from time to time. Recently, one of his movies was released. "It was just a normal conversation about work."
Li You smiled and waved to Li Youmo, "Let him in."
Chen Runji walked in with a happy face. When he saw Chen Daojun, he patted his shoulder. He smiled and said, "President Nim, something good has happened in Jinmen Entertainment."
He said, "Recently, many entertainment companies have been popularizing cooperation with some universities, and we have been looking for suitable schools."
Chen Runji smiled and said, "Today we have reached a cooperation agreement with the most suitable university. We will help them establish a new School of Media and Imaging and School of Performing Arts. At that time, we will arrange photographers, directors, and actors to pass on their experience."
"Why sign such an agreement with the university?" When it comes to the entertainment industry, Chen Daojun has some clear stupidity.
"Don't understand?" Chen Runji smiled proudly, "This is Keimyung University. Although its overall ranking is not high, its architectural style is very suitable for filming in movies and TV series."
"Besides, Keimyung University's medical program is very good. The Korean Peninsula's earliest modern medical institution, Jeju General Hospital, will be its affiliated hospital." Chen Runji thought carefully, "Didn't the chairman acquire a hospital before?"
Li You smiled and looked at the bewildered Chen Daojun. "Previously, Director Zhou of Zhou's Hospital was murdered by a murderer. His wife wanted to sell Zhou's Hospital and no longer run it. I bought it. It wasn't expensive anyway."
“.”
"A few days ago, I specifically asked Representative Chen to find some universities with good medical programs to cooperate with," Li Youyi spread his hands, "Such universities usually have affiliated hospitals, and Zhou's Hospital is in need of talent at this time."
"Oh, right," Li Youmo, who was standing by, remembered and brought a document over. "This is the name change of the hospital. President, do you think it's satisfactory?"
Li You flipped to the first page and the name seemed familiar, "Mingyu?"
He was stunned for a moment, and saw the familiar drama title flashing on the panel. He felt helpless, it couldn't be this hospital.
"Mingyu Hospital." Li You considered it for a moment and signed his name on it. "Let's call it this."
He also signed the document that Chen Runji brought. "You want to go in person?"
"Yeah," Chen Runji nodded, "Maybe I'll go there in the middle of the month to confirm the specific rental location. Jinmen Entertainment will definitely reserve an office space there."
He glanced at Li Youmo, then at Li You, "Do you want me to bring the documents from Mingyu Hospital as well?"
