- Abstract:
Presents an obituary for Cho Choong Hoon, one of the makers of South Korea. At the start of his business career in 1945, Cho Choong Hoon owned one lorry. By the 1990s his South Korean firm, the Hanjin group of 21 companies, had assets worth about $20 billion. Mr Cho was one of the extraordinary people who helped to transform South Korea from a poor Asian country into one with an economy comparable to that of the Netherlands. Opportunism and hard work enabled Mr Cho to turn a profit as South Korea endured many years of war and military dictatorship.
