the prime minister’s son
Eugene’s investment was not welcomed by all Koreans.
Many companies that expected a trickle-down effect were afraid that they would be alienated from investment and, on the contrary, their competitiveness could be weakened.
And Eugene had no intention of giving much support to such companies.
Even if it’s an investment of hundreds of trillions of won, you can see without even thinking about how many resources would be wasted if you support it to too many companies.
The most important thing in investing is efficiency and concentration.
Of course, if it is an investment at the national level, fairness in the distribution process may be more important than that.
However, Eugene is not the government, nor is she simply making donations.
His investment was only a way to complete the picture he drew.
Therefore, Eugene did not pay attention to complaints such as being alienated from investment or rather disadvantaged.
Moreover, with the minimum wage reaching only 6,500 won, there was no reason to worry about the situation of many business owners who pay only the minimum wage to most of their employees.
Rather, in the meantime, companies themselves thought that by raising the salaries of their employees to increase their competitiveness, more people would benefit.
Establishing educational institutions and attracting many talented people to advance abroad will surely attract people who are on the job front, and companies will have to come up with countermeasures to keep pace with it.
“It will be mainly coding and learning English, right? If so, wouldn’t Korea play a role in providing coders to Silicon Valley after India?”
“Of course, coding is also important. Such programs are prepared. However, it is not just a coding education institution, but it will become an institution that nurtures creators related to overall software production through overall IT education including programming and creative education. We plan to set up.”
Kim Hwan’s presentation did not end there.
“And education in other professions is much more prepared. For example, we plan to strengthen our capabilities in the field of fashion design. In cooperation with Parsons School of Design, one of the world’s top three fashion schools, the Royal Belgian School and Central Saint Martins, we plan to offer a world-class design education at an affordable price. Of course, the consultations with the educational institutions I mentioned have already been completed.”
“Then, does it mean that a branch of the three major fashion schools is coming in?”
When the names of the three schools were mentioned, the reaction of the reporters jumped out immediately.
Many fields of education in Korea are world-class, but in the field of design and fashion, it is difficult to compare with Japanese fashion schools, let alone the schools mentioned by Kim Hwan.
It is natural that a lot of interest will be drawn if you can take the classes offered by these schools without going to study abroad.
“It is a different concept from a branch school. It is cooperation after all. However, there is no doubt that you can receive classes directly from the high-quality professors of the educational institution here. In addition to that, there are education related to management, finance, taxation, and accounting, and there are curriculums for receiving various medical education such as nursing and rehabilitation, and even technical training such as welding and plumbing.”

“It is a different concept from a branch school. It is cooperation after all. However, there is no doubt that you can receive classes directly from the high-quality professors of the educational institution here. In addition to that, there are education related to management, finance, taxation, and accounting, and there are curriculums for receiving various medical education such as nursing and rehabilitation, and even technical training such as welding and plumbing.”
There was a buzz in the hall once again when he said that he would even apply for a technical position.
“As well as nursing jobs, technical jobs such as welding and plumbing are not very popular in Korea. But in many western countries, these tech jobs offer a standard of living that is more than a decent white-collar one.”
“If even such technical jobs are leaked abroad, there will be no one left in Korea.”
Still, some reporters were negative about the outflow of foreign workers.
If such personnel go abroad, there seems to be a concern that the service cost in Korea will increase.
It is unknown how many percent of people would think that it would be better to venture overseas than to wander around ten hours a week as a part-time convenience store worker because they could not find a job in Korea.
However, even if there were only 10% of such people, anyone could predict that a chain reaction would occur in the Korean labor market, resulting in an increase in the wage level.
“Once again, people who are not satisfied with the Korean salary or who want to start a new life in a new environment will participate. There are probably a lot more people who still think Korea is good.”
“Isn’t there a need for a national consensus on such an important matter?”
“My youngest brother is graduating from college next year. But I was thinking about whether this guy should get a job at a Korean company or join a new educational institution. Does it need the public’s consent for him to work abroad?”
Kim Hwan asked with a smile.
“Isn’t it just an educational institution? If it were an educational institution that President Kang made, frankly, it would be much better than a university, but it seems to be too disadvantageous for the university. Even now, many universities in the country are suffering from the relief of freshmen.”
“The reporter just said it. Better than college.”
In response to Kim Hwan’s reply, laughter erupted from everywhere.
“It’s hard for me to say if it’s really better than college. But if there is a university that offers classes at a lower level than this educational institution… … .”
Kim Hwan looked at the reporter slyly and paused for a moment.
“If there really is such a university, shouldn’t the education business stop? Is it really worth calling a place that sells meaningless diplomas a hall of truth?”
At Kim Hwan’s words, the reporter could not say anything.
“I don’t know if there are universities that don’t even have proper education, but if it is, I don’t think we need to worry about it.”
After the announcement of the establishment of an educational institution through Kim Hwan, Eugene’s popularity rose again.
People acknowledged that Eugene was making a lot of investments and efforts to strengthen Korea’s national competitiveness, and there were even voices calling for him to enter politics.
– I have to go to the next parliamentary election right away. You can’t go to the presidential election without doing any public service, so you can serve as a member of the parliament even for a short time and then run for the presidential election.
– Chairman Kang is American?
– What does it matter? Are you more patriotic than Koreans?
– Nationality can be restored. Originally, it would be possible in a few years, but if the law is changed in the National Assembly, it can be done right away.
– Even if the nationality is restored, it is not possible to have dual citizenship.
– You can change the law, too.
– Should we change the constitution?
– Change the constitution.
– Chairman Kang to the Blue House!
Of course, it is true that Eugene is popular, but not many people really want him to enter politics.
For Koreans, politics was a dirty place. The prevailing perception was that there was no place for a patriot like Eugene to go.
“Fujita-san. Nice to meet you.”
Around that time, Eugene of New York was in active contact with Japanese political figures.
“Nice to meet you. It is an honor to meet Chairman Kang.”
Eugene reached out to shake hands with a handsome man in his 40s who bowed deeply in Korean, where he learned it properly.
“When I heard that the president had called me, I immediately got on the plane. I am truly moved by such hospitality.”
Yuya Fujita, who made a special place on this day, is a second-term member of the House of Representatives.
This handsome man, just over forty, has already been able to serve for a second term thanks to the constituency he inherited from his father.
Unlike Korea, in Japan, it is taken for granted that inheritance is based on blood lineage.
The father’s constituency is inherited by the children, and if the father is a leader of the party, the children will one day occupy the same place.
Fujita Yuya’s father was a member of the parliament who served seven terms in the region, and served as prime minister in his later years, so he is truly a gold spoon among the gold spoons in Japanese politics.
Before running for the House of Representatives, the equivalent of Japan’s lower house, Yuaya Fuchita was a successful entertainer as a model and actress.
It’s because he’s over 180 and has a western-style mask that Japanese people like, but it’s because his background is so good.
A tall man with a very attractive smile has a background that he is the son of the head of state, so Japanese women would have no reason not to fall in love with him.
He boasted such a high popularity that he would have been easily elected even if he did not inherit his father’s constituency and ran in the fiercely competitive Tokyo.
“You are much more handsome than I was told.”
Eugene started the conversation with words that did not suit him as a greeting to a politician.
“Hey! thank you I’ve heard a lot of people say I’m handsome all my life, but I didn’t expect to hear that from Chairman Kang. haha!”
Fujita smiled cheerfully and shook his trademark hair.
Eugene, who remembered the anecdote that the women were not the only ones who fell in love with that image, had to try to hold back their laughter.
As you can see, Fujita really likes to be praised for her looks.
narcissist. In particular, Eugene remembers the report about Fujita that he took great pride in his appearance.
“Chairman Kang is also very handsome. haha.”
Fujita has been saying hello to anyone who doesn’t seem to mind.
He has great social skills and gets along well with anyone. They usually make sounds that don’t mean much, but thanks to their looks, they are popular with both men and women.
Eugene once again thought that the report on him would not be wrong.
The author of the report is a Japanese representative whom John Brennan trusts.
It is said that there are not a few connections between Japan’s politics and the administration, and it is not difficult to obtain information from state institutions that have not been announced to the outside.
“I made this because Fujita-san liked it.”
Whenever Eugene welcomes guests, she always prepares the most luxurious room in the Plaza Hotel, with enough food and drinks for the other party.
And on this day, there was an ordinary, colorful dish prepared.
Fujita said that despite his looks, he wasn’t that great of a gourmet. But there’s something else in store for him.
“Oh yeah. We have invited a guest to join us for today’s meeting. Are you okay?”
“A guest? ah… … Of course it doesn’t matter… … There is not.”
Fujita is not very good at agility or diplomacy. He is easily embarrassed and stutters at unexpected words.
“Miss Michelle from Hollywood said she was just in New York. I invited you even though I knew it was rude because I only have time today.”
“Michelle? If it’s Michelle… … .”
Fujita asked with a look of anticipation.
“My name is Miss Michel Rubina. Do you know… … .”
Before Eugene could finish speaking, Fujita’s face was in full bloom.
