At this moment, Zuo Meiyan understood Chairman Song's feelings very well. The whole world knew very well how Korea earned its money. There were three aspects: entertainment, tourism, and electronics.
Which of these three aspects didn't rely heavily on Hua Xia? Without Hua Xia's die-hard fans, how could their entertainment artists earn so much money to buy so many sports cars? Without Hua Xia's people improving their quality of life, how could their tourism economy flourish when tens of thousands of people could fly to Korea for a few days? Without the support of Hua Xia's "imported Android" fans for Samsung, their electronics economy would have decreased by at least 50%, right?
Therefore, Hua Xia's support was indispensable for Korea's three major industries.
Who would travel if they didn't build relations between the two countries? Were they so free? Bringing 10,000 yuan to Korea for a few barbecue meals would be gone. They might as well fly to Southeast Asia, where all kinds of seafood were cheap.
Celebrities who became popular only wanted to earn money, earn money, and earn more money. They directly treated Hua Xia as an ATM machine. They were all the same!
As for Samsung, they were courting death. They even dared to sell an explosive product. After selling it to Hua Xia, they didn't recall it immediately. It was as if the lives of Hua Xia people were more worthless than the lives of people in other countries. What was the meaning of this?
If someone said that Samsung had exploded and would still choose to use it in the future, they might be called die-hard fans.
But now that everyone knew that after the explosion, Samsung immediately recalled the products sold overseas and didn't recall the products sold domestically in time, it was obvious that they didn't care about the safety of Hua Xia people. Those who would still choose to use explosive phones in the future were really die-hard fans.
Zuo Meiyan definitely wouldn't use Samsung. It wasn't that she was criticizing this product, but that she felt that the company of this product didn't treat Hua Xia people as human beings!
As Hua Xia people, why would they still use it?
Was there no other choice in this world? There were many, many.
No matter what brand it was, whether it was a big brand or a small brand, as long as a company didn't care about the safety of consumers, their products were not worth consumers buying again!
It was the same reason why more and more people were criticizing Volkswagen. Once upon a time, Volkswagen had to raise the price by twenty to thirty thousand to get a new car. The Divine Car Tiguan was an example.
If the consumers were taken seriously, they would naturally raise the price enthusiastically. After all, every Hua Xia citizen had a good impression of the old Santana and the old Volkswagen Jetta as "durable, sturdy, and cheap to maintain".
But now, why did Volkswagen follow suit and lower their prices by tens of thousands?
The most common one was burning the engine oil. Coupled with the inexplicable failure of the headlights, the rusting of the car body, the failure of the steering pressure shaft, and the abnormal noise of the chassis … this was irresponsible. Of course, this black mark was mainly on Hua Xia's factories.
Ruan Qingshuang's younger brother was a Volkswagen fan. Ruan Qingshuang gave him a Tiguan. Of course, he also drove 100,000 kilometers without entering a car repair shop.
However, this kid's luck was too bad. The steering pressure bearing broke at 5,000 kilometers. The front passenger door couldn't be opened at 8,000 kilometers. The water pump leaked at 10,000 kilometers. The chassis made an abnormal noise at 13,000 kilometers. The engine's VVI solenoid valve leaked oil at 15,000 kilometers … almost all kinds of problems were encountered by this unlucky kid!
How could he not be a fan and become an anti-fan?
Fortunately, Volkswagen's car preservation rate was not bad. Even if it was a car full of problems, it could be sold for a good price in the second-hand car market.
"Some of the things that Korea has done recently have been too much. It has seriously hurt the relationship between the people of the two countries." Zuo Meiyan said, "I believe that President Song should have sent people to do market research. In this year, the people of Hua Xia's attention to Korea's entertainment culture has plummeted. In a short period of time, it has dropped by more than 30%."
This was actually similar to the concept of products.
Some of Korea's actions had seriously hurt the relationship between the two countries. Therefore, it was very normal for the people of Hua Xia to pay less attention to them.
"That's why I want to ask President Zuo to help us make up for it," President Song said sincerely.
Zuo Meiyan waved her hand. "I'm afraid I can't do that. There's an idiom in Hua Xia that says one only has oneself to blame."
"It's our president's fault … This … this has nothing to do with us. We were only unlucky because of her system." President Song shook his head helplessly. "Hua Xia's shopping malls, such as Myeongdong and other shopping malls, have obviously lost a lot of tourists from Hua Xia. Sigh, Korea's economy has fallen into a serious crisis."
Zuo Meiyan nodded. "I've heard about this too."
"Actually, President Park is about to be crushed by all these things." President Song said, "I saw the news. She expressed that she was willing to maintain close communication with Hua Xia regarding this issue!"
Zuo Meiyan smiled when she heard this.
"Our President Park wants to reconcile." President Song was anxious. "It's true. I believe she will reconcile. So, let's not stop the entertainment cooperation between our two countries, right? Let's continue and find a way to reconcile. "
"President Song." Zuo Meiyan's face turned serious. "Do you really think that the relationship between our two countries is something that your President Park can do as she pleases?"
President Song's face darkened again.
"Who does she think she is? Does she really think she's a princess? " Zuo Meiyan snorted. "Even if she's a princess, she's still a princess in distress from Korea. Why must we give her face?"
"As a woman, taking the initiative to reconcile is already giving up all her status." President Song still spoke up for his president.
"No." Zuo Meiyan shook her finger. "She expressed her intention to reconcile, but who can't see the 'hidden meaning' in her words? She's warning Hua Xia not to overdo it and not to continue pressuring her. If she continues pressuring her, she will lead Korea to the United States and become a part of the military triangle of the United States, Japan, and Korea! "
Zuo Meiyan didn't understand the deeper meaning.
However, Zuo Meiyan could see these superficial signs very clearly.
President Song was also in an awkward situation. He thought to himself, If I knew this would happen, I wouldn't have brought up such a political issue.
"Korea is showing weakness now. President Zuo, if you can build a new cooperation bridge between our two countries in the entertainment industry, I believe the relationship between our two countries can be mended." President Song made a final struggle and pleaded.
"I'm not that capable. We need to control the situation between our two countries and stop the damage. This requires both sides to face each other, right? "Zuo Meiyan said.
President Song nodded. "Yes, yes, yes!"
"However, Hua Xia's response to the THAAD system issue was completely reasonable. It was your president who was stubborn and didn't care about the overall situation in Northeast Asia. He insisted on going on the wrong path and leading the wolf into the house, resulting in the current situation." Zuo Meiyan said, "I'm afraid this isn't something you can fix just because you say so."
"But entertainment has no borders," President Song said.
"Entertainment does have no borders, but unfortunately, entertainment artists have nationalities." Zuo Meiyan shook her head. "All this time, no Hua Xia artist cared about Korea's entertainment market because it's too small. It's not like you don't know this. Even if Hua Xia and Hua Xia trainees choose to be in Korea, they will eventually set their sights on the Hua Xia market. "
This was also the reason why President Song guaranteed that the company's debuts every year would have Hua Xia faces.
Because this would attract more attention from Hua Xia.
Even if they didn't have Hua Xia nationality, as long as they had Hua Xia blood and could speak Chinese, they would be able to make great contributions to their entertainment company.
This was a necessity for an entertainment market economy.
Korean artists were clear on one thing. As long as they captured the Hua Xia market, even if they were third-rate artists, the money they earned would be much more than what they earned in China. If they couldn't capture the Hua Xia market, even if they were first-rate artists in China and had a lot of attention, the money they earned would be far less than third-rate artists.
The reason why the president of a Korean entertainment giant was so earnest in talking to Zuo Meiyan was because he couldn't bear to give up such a huge market like Hua Xia.
After all, Korea Entertainment's idols were more in line with Asians' appreciation. Whether they could make a living in Europe or America often didn't depend on their looks.
In Europe and the United States, there were many rappers like Grandpa Kan who looked very ordinary and looked very sloppy. As long as they were good at rapping, they could also become famous and sleep with the Kardashian family's money.
Korea Entertainment didn't want to be half-dead, so they had to rely on the Hua Xia market. Otherwise, they would definitely not be able to develop. Korea's economy was already in such a bad state, and the unemployment rate was so high. Who could the entertainment industry earn money from?
