Go back in time and be a chaebol

Chapter 1386 Blow the Whistle and Enter Hell (Second Update, Please Subscribe)
“Why is he willing to share all this with the public…”

Just like the question he had in Korea, Toyota Dazhong has not found the answer even though he is now in the situation.

This time, they came here to find the answer, or Park Jung-woong wanted to use this kind of inspection to let officials at all levels understand one thing: South Korea does not necessarily have to learn from the United States. There are other objects to learn from in Asia.

So, in the past year, hundreds of South Korean officials came here to inspect. Their inspection results varied, but there was one consensus - the place was unimaginably wealthy.

“People are living a prosperous life!”

This wealth is not reflected in high-rise buildings or convenient infrastructure, but in the community.

In a standard community, Toyota Dazhong and his group stood in the civic center and listened to the staff inside giving an introduction.

"According to the standard configuration, two shopping centers were designed for each community during the construction phase. Each street community has service facilities such as schools and civic centers. In addition to clinics and libraries, the civic centers also have swimming pools and football fields..."

Ms. Megan, a community assistant, introduced the center to the guests and led them to visit the civic center.

The civic center is a local feature and the most grassroots affairs agency, but such an agency is more for serving the residents of the community and managing the community’s public infrastructure.

Clinics, libraries, swimming pools, stadiums, etc. are all managed and operated by the Civic Center.

The swimming pool was right in front of them. It was a 50m swimming pool. Although it looked simple, it had shallow and deep areas.

“Why go to all the trouble of setting up a swimming pool?”

In response to other people's questions, the staff of the Civic Center answered.

"For safety, especially for children. As we all know, water love is human nature. If there is no swimming pool, they will go to open water to play, which is easy to cause accidents. But if there is a swimming pool, they can play in the swimming pool. After learning to swim in the swimming pool, it will be safer to swim in places such as the beach."

The staff's answer made Jin Zairin and others silent. They were all teenagers once. When they were young, they would always run to the river to play crazily, and it was inevitable that some of them would have accidents.

But what about here?

They had considered this possibility in every detail and tried their best to avoid this danger from the beginning.

Looking at the children playing football on the field, everyone was silent.

"Ms. Megan, how many staff members are there at the Civic Center? Where does your salary come from?"

"There are only four permanent employees at the Civic Center, one of whom is a community doctor and one is a nurse. I am the center's assistant and librarian, and the center's director is the library director..."

Megan introduced carefully:

"As for funding, in addition to the center's fixed income, there is also a portion of official funding, which is extracted from residents' rent in proportion. It is mainly used for library operations and maintenance of community infrastructure including sports facilities. Of course, there are also donations from the society..."

After thinking for a moment, she added:
"If there are relevant activities, there will be many volunteers in the community to help. Moreover, the children in the community will participate in relevant volunteer activities every week. They clean the civic center and do what they can..."

In fact, the Civic Center is, to some extent, their home. For these people from all over the world in Eurasia, they have no relatives or even friends here. Neighbors are their best friends and relatives. Through some activities held in the Civic Center, their feelings have been further deepened.

It is here that they take care of each other and watch over each other, just like a family. For this reason, most of the time they are willing to do what they can for the Civic Center.

On the wall of the Civic Center, Toyota Dazhong and his party saw group photos of people, including those of charity sales at the market and people gathering during festivals. There were adults, children, Asians, and Europeans in the photos, but they all looked very close.

They really do look like a family.

“It looks like they’re a family.”

"It doesn't look that way, sir."

Megan corrected:
"We are a family here... We would do anything for each other, take care of the kids for them, help each other in any way we can."

Megan then said in a reminiscent and nostalgic tone:
"Once this was just a wild rainforest. We came here with nothing. We shared everything with each other, worked together, and finally created all this! We are of course a family!"

Perhaps, this is the biggest difference between them and South Korea. Looking at the blonde and blue-eyed European woman in front of him, Toyota Dazhong felt so in his heart.

Here, regardless of ethnicity, they are all one family, and because they are family, they share everything!
Family members...

Toyota Dazhong thought of those landlords in rural Korea who regarded themselves as patriarchs. Don’t they also call themselves “family”?

But how did the landlords in Korea treat their families? During the Japanese occupation, they worked with the Japanese police to oppress their families. How much has changed now?

It's just that the Japanese police became the Korean police.

Thinking of this, Toyota Dazhong felt helpless. This is South Korea. If South Korea becomes like here, where chaebols control everything, will there be a way out for ordinary people?

Toyota Ohnaka didn't know the answer in his heart.

After visiting a community, Jin Zai Lin couldn't help but sigh:
"I used to think that movies only showed the best side of life, but now I know that movies only show the most ordinary life here."

Looking at the cars on the roadside, Jin Zai Lin sighed:
"While Koreans are struggling to make ends meet, people here are already driving cars, and many families have cars."

“The key is that they still live in such a house!”

Toyota Dazhong pointed to the house on the roadside and said:

“These houses were originally built by companies and then distributed to individuals.”

"It's not a split. They also need to pay a certain amount of rent every month, and the provident fund will still be deducted from their salary!"

Another person from Mokpo, Che Cunyi, added:

"But even so, it's really amazing that people can live in such houses!"

"Yes, there is a TV, a refrigerator, and even a telephone in the house. In Korea, even the rich may not have all these things. Maybe one or two, but not all of them."

"Yes, yes, and those tall buildings, my God, there are none like them even in America!"

Listening to their sighs and seeing their envy for the material life here, Toyota Dazhong frowned.

But a voice sounded in his heart - do they think that the prosperity here means those tall buildings, the wealth they own, and the rich people everywhere?

neither!
Toyota Dazhong wanted to refute them loudly, but in the end, he didn't say it because he knew that these people couldn't see it:

They didn't see what they really needed to see. They only saw the tall buildings, advanced factories and the expensive luxury goods in the central business district.

In their eyes, perhaps these are the only things that matter! They definitely want to become rich and be able to buy luxury goods in the city center!
“That’s why we need to learn from them!”

"Yes, the commander-in-chief is really far-sighted!"

Listening to the flattery around him, Toyota Dazhong said:
"Xiba, if South Korea becomes controlled by chaebols like here, then we will all become slaves!

Learning from this is pushing South Korea into hell.”

Toyota Ohnaka said in a very affirmative tone.

“We can learn from the economy here, but we must never turn South Korea into a country ruled by chaebols like here.

If that happens, it would be like the President himself is pushing South Korea into hell."

When the righteous words reached the ears of others, everyone was stunned. Even the accompanying staff of the representative office nearby were frightened.

Seeing this, Jin Zai Lin said quickly:

"Oh, look at you, you must have drunk too much last night."

He grabbed Toyota Dazhong and said:

"I told you last night that the rum here is much stronger than Korean soju, but you insisted on drinking so much. Look at you, you keep talking drunkenly here."

While holding Toyota Daejung, Jin Jae-lin whispered to him.

"Are you crazy? There are outsiders here! People from the representative office are here! If this gets out, we'll get into trouble."

Jin Zailin's reminder made Toyota Volkswagen frown. He looked at the receptionist sent by the representative office. The other party was also looking at him. Perhaps because he was an outsider, the other party smiled and said it.

"Rum is very strong, but Koreans always drink soju."

Is this sentence referring to Soju? Of course it is Soju, but it depends on how you understand it.
"Okay, everyone, let's go to the next stop."

In the following time, Toyota Dazhong and Kim Jae-lin and their friends continued to visit various places. Just like in the past, everyone had their gains and everyone seemed to have found the answers they needed.

As for his drunken words, everyone seemed to have forgotten them...
