Great Power Industry: You're a private company building an aircraft carrier?

South Korea, Pohang Steel.

Chairman Jin Wanji sat solemnly in his chair, looking at the people below: "Our geological exploration team perished in the belly of a lion in Guinea, which could perhaps be explained by accident, and President Li's plane crash could also be explained by accident, but two accidents in a row, this is definitely not a coincidence!"

The people below all looked serious. It hadn't been easy for POSCO to get to where it is now. They had finally found a direction, but then new setbacks occurred!

“That’s right, this is definitely not a coincidence. Before boarding the plane, President Li instructed his subordinates that the Japanese were the most suspicious. There must be Japanese people behind this!”

Below the seats, Vice President Liu Shangfu spoke up: "They're terrified that we'll take over the Guinean iron ore mine and completely surpass them!"

"That's right. We've already defeated the island nation's electronics industry, and they're afraid we'll defeat their steel industry too! Dongguo Steel wanted to import a 5.5-meter rolling mill from the island nation, but they demanded an exorbitant price. They don't want our steel industry to rise!"

Everyone is saying the same thing, and the target is the island nation.

Although there is no evidence, they remain convinced that it is their rivals, the island nation!

As for the East?

No one looked eastward. Even when Dongguo Steel introduced rolling mills from Laiyang Plant in the east, it only caused a small ripple that quickly dissipated.

"Then we need to discuss how to retaliate," Jin Wanji said. "I think we can temporarily abandon the mines in Guinea, since the risks there are too high! We should still set our sights on the iron ore mines in Australia and the United States, and try to take over the shares from the island nation!"

Kim Man-kee has just taken office, and he doesn't want to have a short life like his predecessor. He has to accomplish something great!

The idea of ​​developing the Guinean iron ore mine was proposed by his predecessor, Chung Myung-sik, but it has now encountered great resistance and has also been sabotaged by the islanders.

Why not just abandon that unreliable plan? Aren't the iron ore from Australia and the football country more appealing?

The island nation's economy has plummeted, and their steel companies are also struggling. Take this opportunity to snatch the shares of those mines from the island nation!

"The chairman is brilliant!" Liu Shangfu quickly flattered, "He's brought us back on the right track!"

"The president is wise!"

"Next, let's examine this in detail..."

……

Dongguk Steel.

“Our exploration team to Guinea encountered misfortune. President Lee, who was sent by POSCO, died in a plane crash. Now, I hear that POSCO has abandoned its plan to mine iron ore in Guinea and intends to seize the mining shares held by the island nation.”

Hearing Jung Soo-hwan's words, Kim Jong-geun took a deep breath: "Thanks to our choice to cooperate with Raeyang Plant, otherwise, if we had lost the rolling mill project and the mining project, Dongguk Steel would have been severely damaged!"

Kim Jong-geun looked outside. The factory area was bustling with activity. A new rolling mill production line was being installed. The future of Dongguk Steel rested on this rolling mill!

“Yes, we were almost ruined by POSCO,” Jung Soo-hwan began. “So, should we…”

"Just say whatever you want to say."

“We’ll reveal POSCO’s plans to the Japanese. They should be grateful to us. Rather than being tricked by POSCO, they might as well sell us some shares in advance.”

Kim Jong-geun's gaze turned cold: "This plan was your idea?"

Of course not. I overheard the Asians at the next table chatting while I was eating today. These topics have been very popular lately, and everyone is guessing that the Japanese are stirring things up behind the scenes and plotting how to retaliate. This theory is quite novel, so I wrote it down.

Jung Soo-hwan wasn't sure what Kim Jong-geun was thinking either, but he knew that Kim Jong-geun liked people with their own opinions.

“Yes, that’s what I thought.” Jung Soo-hwan decided to take a gamble.

Kim Jong-geun looked outside again, and after a long while, he said, "Since this is what you want, go to Japan. If you can buy the shares from them, I'll promote you to president!"

"Yes!" Jung Soo-hwan was overjoyed.

……

Dongfang, the capital of Dongshan Province, a certain hospital.

When the needle pierced her arm, Yang Xue frowned, gritted her teeth, and remained silent. This moment seemed both very short and very long.

Beside her, a strong hand grasped hers, and all that remained in her mind was sweetness. She gave the man beside her a sweet smile.

"All done," the nurse said. "This is the last injection."

"Thank you."

Qin Chuan helped press the cotton ball, his face showing concern: "Actually, you didn't need to come with us. If you didn't go, you wouldn't need to get so many vaccines."

Some people claim to love nature, but in reality, if you threw them directly into the African wilderness, they wouldn't survive a week. Ebola, malaria, cholera, dengue fever... many of these diseases would kill them!

Africa has a harsh environment and is rife with infectious diseases. If you go to Africa, you must get all kinds of vaccines.

“Of course I have to go,” Yang Xue said. “The official language there is French, and many places also have their own languages. Without me as a translator, you’ll be completely lost. To prepare for going to Guinea, I’ve been learning the local indigenous languages ​​and customs…”

"Thank you."

"Brother Chuan, why do I feel like we've grown distant from each other?"

"Honey, want a kiss?"

Yang Xue blushed, but fortunately the two had already walked to the Audi outside.

Li Jianshe sat in the driver's seat and, after the two got in the car, said, "Brother Chuan, your plan has been a complete success. Currently, the South Koreans firmly believe that the Japanese are causing trouble, while the Japanese believe that the South Koreans want to take advantage of the Japanese economy's downturn to seize their mining shares. The two sides are engaged in fierce competition!"

"Okay, that's good. We can proceed with the next step according to plan."

Yang Xue couldn't help but speak up, "Brother Chuan, I still feel that what we're doing seems to lack the demeanor of a great nation."

Although Yang Xue was no longer a child and wouldn't be so naive, she had still been influenced by traditional education and felt that Qin Chuan's actions were inappropriate...

Qin Chuan smiled and said, "Xiao Xue, do you know about the coal mine that my third and fourth uncles run?"

Yang Xue nodded.

"When it first opened, the locals jumped out to oppose it and caused trouble, even beating up my fourth uncle," Qin Chuan said. "Then, I sent Antonina and Ivan over there, and there are still a few of them crippled!"

Yang Xue's expression turned serious.

"Wherever there are people, there is a world of intrigue; wherever there are interests, there is conflict. This society is still a dog-eat-dog world. What I'm doing is just a small trick," Qin Chuan said. "When we come to Yangchang, we've touched the interests of major domestic factories, but maybe our dad can back us up. What if we go abroad and touch the interests of steel mills in other countries?"

"So, Antonina went there and gathered up the mercenaries to prevent others from tripping us up?"

Qin Chuan nodded: "That's right! We're just doing this to protect ourselves; we would never intentionally hurt anyone!"

Li Jianshe, who was in front, couldn't help but shake his head.

Not intentionally hurting others? Brother Chuan, why are you pretending to be a little white rabbit in front of your wife?!
