Chapter 595: Adding insult to injury
Because Neon has already withstood two waves of zombie crises, a wave of capital hunting, and is still struggling to survive after being destroyed by Umbrella and given sanctions by Da Piaoliang.
So after South Korea suffered a zombie incident that was far less serious than the one in Japan, although it was relatively a big deal, the adaptability of people around the world has been greatly enhanced.
It is far less shocking than when zombies first appeared.
Many people don’t think about what will happen to South Korea. Just like earthquake disasters in other countries, after one or two days of reporting that other countries have provided some support, no one will pay much attention to it anymore.
The New York invasion and the second wave of Neon were much more serious, and there wasn't much coverage of the subsequent reconstruction work.
Even because of the global spread of Neon's second biochemical crisis, small-scale incidents have occurred in many places. In fact, people's acceptance of this kind of disease that needs to be transmitted through blood and has such an obvious threat after infection is quite strong.
You will feel fear if you have never experienced it, but after seeing it many times, it is actually like this.
Zombies?
That’s it?
As long as it doesn’t happen to you, just watch it.
Because Umbrella stepped in to remedy the situation in South Korea and handled it well, I really don’t think this will cause much trouble for the country.
It's far less serious than Neon and Da Piaoliang, not to mention Da Piaoliang's invasion of New York and the previous biochemical crisis that affected a country second only to Neon, even the first time in Tokyo was far less serious. At most, it was a little more serious than the one at Seoul University.
You have fought it before, so you should have experience...
However, the reality is far beyond everyone's expectations!
The subsequent handling and disaster relief in South Korea was actually going quite smoothly. Neon and Da Piaoliang haven't yet finished solving the final problems of their respective issues, but South Korea has already dealt with most of them.
But before Da Piaoliang even started asking for compensation, Nan Goryeo suddenly suffered multiple setbacks.
Because of this crisis and the compensation threatened by the Big Piao, a small number of people lacked confidence in the future and took action, becoming the first domino to pry open South Korea's high leverage.
The next moment, the huge bomb of "all rented" which made people feel their scalps exploded in a chain reaction.
Not to mention a certain big country, even Japan did not dare to play such a trick at the beginning, but South Korea has piled up the leverage so high and continues to do so until now.
Just like the financial speculator who used high leverage to trade Chinese stocks in the big beautiful stock market, and eventually caused the big beautiful stock market crash due to forced liquidation , the rest was a chain of explosions.
Everyone has reached a consensus and expectation!
Those landlords who rent out their houses entirely, and who keep relying on the deposits of the next tenants to pass on the baton, suddenly find that the sweet life of renting out their houses is no longer so attractive.
A debt ratio of 150% is enough to destroy all resistance, and almost no one can withstand it.
A financial storm instantly swept across South Korea.
Once the storm begins, it will only lead to greater panic, and the greater panic will continue to accelerate!
It's a complete chain reaction, a downward spiral.
Originally, the banks in South Korea not only lent money to the landlords in South Korea, but also lent money to the tenants because the houses were fully rented, thus reaping double the happiness in one go.
But the happier we were in the past, the greater the bitterness we feel now.
It can be expected that this will be a disaster even more terrible than the financial crisis in South Korea in the last century.
First, the landlord runs out of funds and is unable to repay the tenant's deposit. The tenant's deposit was borrowed from a loan and is unable to repay the bank debt. The bank can neither recover the money for the house from the landlord nor the deposit from the tenant, which is doubly painful.
If it were just this, it would be fine. At most, South Korea could learn from Japan and start printing money directly, and the authorities would continue to borrow from themselves. Although it would be a bit painful and suffer huge losses after the flood, at least it could survive.
But the thing to worry about is that South Korea is not the only country in the world.
When their previous term was involved in a scandal, some financial tycoons were actually watching their every move.
Da Piaoliang was also suffering after being affected by the second zombie outbreak in Neon and the invasion of New York. Now they are trying their best to stabilize their own finances and have introduced various measures.
I had thought that there might be an opportunity to take advantage of the scandal of the leader of South Korea, so I naturally made some preparations and kept an eye on it.
The subsequent announcement of a visit to Umbrella raised the attention to a higher level.
What we saw next was the biochemical crisis and a total collapse.
Although the speed of the collapse caught these experienced giants off guard, since they had noticed it in advance and had begun tentative preparations, now that they had the chance, they pounced on South Korea, which was in internal chaos, without any hesitation and tried to bite it hard.
South Korea has little domestic demand and almost no ability to resist risks, and it is strongly tied to the international community.
Faced with this kind of fighting, there is simply no way to fight back, and the previous financial crisis is being repeated.
No, it should be even more terrible than the initial financial crisis!
Because the people of South Korea discovered that the big chaebols such as the Four Stars were also thinking about actively rescuing the market. Although they failed and lost in the end, at least they still took action.
But this time...
Adding insult to injury!
Attack from both inside and outside, double the joy!
All the bulk resources are originally controlled by the chaebols. In the parallel world, Future Awen also asked the chaebols to save the market.
But this time, after realizing that there was no hope, the chaebols chose to preserve their own interests and try to use the geographical advantage to get a piece of the pie in this chaos!
At the very least, we must protect ourselves and reduce losses in this storm.
They have already been funded by Wall Street, and their first goal is to protect themselves.
Lu Xun once said that the bigger the storm, the more expensive the fish.
Now, under the indifferent manipulation of the chaebols, the first problem to arise is food.
The prices of various foods and food raw materials have skyrocketed.
Once this consensus and momentum emerge, there will inevitably be panic buying and bank runs, which will further aggravate and intensify the severity of the situation.
Food prices change three times a day!
At this time, the people of South Korea also realized that humans themselves are much more terrifying than zombies!
The Han River Bridge immediately began to be crowded with people, real flying people...
…
Awen looked at the data in front of him and a trace of sadness appeared .
"It's my fault. I was too radical. I didn't expect them to be so cruel!"
But then he sighed and ordered.
"Please help me arrange a meeting with the representatives of the various chaebols. I will treat them to tea..."
Now, only the deeply rooted chaebols can temporarily stabilize the situation and at least ensure good food prices.
Maybe I shouldn't be so tough...
Thinking of his deceased best friend, Awen couldn't help but sigh. If it were you, what would you choose?
Maybe I am really not suitable...
But at this moment his secretary reported to him
"Mr. Talker, a representative from Umbrella wants to see you."
These words made Awen stunned.
Umbrella?
At the beginning, he had already made the decision to fully side with Umbrella, but before he could implement it, he was beaten into his current state by a combination of punches from the opponent.
The current situation is no longer something Umbrella can resolve.
Umbrella doesn't actually have much say in commodities, as this is not their strong point. Even if they do, it is only in a few special areas such as silver mines.
Things like food still depend on the four major grain traders.
What's more, in South Korea, the chaebols still control all aspects of the situation.
It can be said that he was completely unable and could only kneel down and beg for mercy.
This is the reason and confidence for them to make such an extreme choice!
However, since the representative of Umbrella came here on his own initiative, he had to meet him for both moral and legal reasons.
It's not just a matter of the other party's strength and status, this assistance alone has provided huge help.
In terms of feedback, if there was no Umbrella's command, due to the spread of the infected and the untimely treatment, the losses would have doubled, which would have been an ideal situation...
