I Have 10 Trillion Dollars only Usable For Simping Chapter 2336 - 1485: Five-Star... Group

"Mr. Jiang."

In a private club situated on the Second Ring Road, the Korean Minister of Economy rose from his seat, offering a respectful, slight bow, as though a head of state were entering the chamber. Accompanying him, the sole other individual present mirrored this gesture, their posture erect but their head inclined even lower.

Jiang Chen entered the room, acknowledging them with a nod. "Sit." It was only after Jiang Chen had taken his seat that the two guests resumed their own, following his lead. Economic Minister Zhao Taihe was already a familiar face; they had crossed paths previously at a Yixin Club function in Korea and had engaged in numerous meetings during the ongoing trilateral discussions. However, the man beside him, a middle-aged figure with a buzz cut, was a newcomer to Jiang Chen.

"Mr. Jiang, this gentleman is Colonel Quan Mingjiang, the commanding officer of the First Air Transport Brigade. He arrived just yesterday."

The title 'Air Transport Brigade' immediately drew Jiang Chen's attention, prompting him to scrutinize the man with the crew cut more closely. Stripping away the casual air he displayed when interacting with Princess Cao, Boss Jiang adopted a composed and inscrutable demeanor, radiating an imposing aura without any outward show of anger.

As a modern nation with deep ties, Korea was long recognized as a developed country, even with its connection to Wudela Cross. When one mentions Korea, the immediate associations are often with pop music groups, cinematic productions, or massive corporate entities. The question arises: does this nation even possess military personnel? The answer is a definitive yes, and the Air Transport Brigade stands as a significant indicator of this.

Contrary to the common understanding, the Air Transport Brigade encompasses airborne units. Unlike the paratroopers found in other nations, Korea's airborne forces possess a distinct special operations capability. Through successive expansions and doctrinal evolution, they have solidified their position as a crucial component of their main combat forces. Perhaps the most striking aspect is the widely acknowledged reality that Korea holds minimal independent military authority, requiring virtually all operational actions to be reported to the so-called United Command, which operates under the watchful eye of the Statue of Liberty. Remarkably, the Air Transport Brigade is among the select few units that evade the direct jurisdiction of the United Command, remaining under direct Korean command.

The adage,

The newly emerging Five-Star Group acts as a disruptive force within the existing conglomerate system, championing an ethos of equality in a capitalist landscape. Its mission is to safeguard employees from being dehumanized into mere tools of corporate giants, thereby ensuring the proletariat receives both respect and fundamental human rights. While it might not yet rival the established power of deeply entrenched conglomerates, the Five-Star Group has undeniably carved out a distinct and influential model within Korean society.

From its initial ventures in the beauty industry, a sector familiar to Lan Peizhi from her past endeavors in Korea, the group has expanded its reach. Its portfolio now encompasses catering, hotel management, film and entertainment, and has recently ventured into the demanding field of heavy industry manufacturing.

Each step taken is deliberate.

Each move is firm.

The progression is unstoppable.

Naturally.

It's a known fact that in any established system, political and business sectors are inextricably linked, relying on mutual support. The Five-Star Group's ascent through formidable challenges would not have been possible without considerable backing from official channels.

And in return, the Five-Star Group has offered its own form of reciprocation.

Unlike traditional conglomerates that exploit the populace and seek government subsidies, the Five-Star Group draws resources from the public domain to reinvest in the people, dedicating itself to fervent social charity without requesting any financial aid.

Today, following another significant announcement, Jiang Chen addressed Colonel Quan Mingjiang, stating, "The Five-Star Group will also contribute ten trillion Korean won towards the development and construction of the Air Transport Brigade, completely free of charge."

A staggering amount!

Ten trillion!

Hold on.

That was in Korean won, after all.

Then the figure becomes more understandable.

While ten trillion won might be a negligible sum for someone of Boss Jiang's means, for the beleaguered Air Transport Brigade, it represents a miraculous windfall.

Without any prompting from Zhao Taihe, Colonel Quan Mingjiang, who had finally regained some composure, immediately stood at attention. He presented Jiang Chen with a salute, a gesture of military respect perhaps more genuine than any offered during a presidential inspection.

"Colonel Quan Mingjiang, representing all the colleagues of the Air Transport Brigade, expresses Mr. Jiang's profound gratitude for his magnanimity!"

It's merely ten trillion won.

One must remember that South Korea is a highly developed nation with an economy that ranks among the world's best.

Is such an overwhelming display of emotion truly warranted?

Indeed, conglomerates are the very source of systemic corruption.

They operate like pervasive, parasitic octopuses, their tentacles extending into every available crevice once granted power. Greedily and endlessly, they drain resources until not a single drop of wealth remains.

"The contribution isn't from me; it's from your nation's Five-Star Group," Jiang Chen clarified with a smile.

Finance Minister Zhao Taihe's face lit up, his thoughts already racing towards the immense economic advantages the Five-Star Group's involvement in the shipbuilding sector would bring. He was momentarily rendered speechless by his sheer excitement.

"Long live the Five-Star Red Flag!"

Colonel Quan Mingjiang tilted his head slightly.

Zhao Taihe offered a sheepish grin in response.

Soon after, the room filled with a chorus of hearty, unburdened laughter.
