Resource Tycoon Reborn

Fan Mingyuan's movements were crisp and fast. Before President Lu could speak, he had already finished the glass of wine. Fang Mingyuan flashed the bottom of the glass at him and said with a smile: "If you think that my sincerity is not enough, Mr. President

, then I’ll punish myself with three cups, how about that?”

After Fang Mingyuan's words reached this point, President Lu naturally couldn't say anything more. He quickly stopped Fang Mingyuan who was about to pour the wine and said: "President Fang, there is no need to apologize or anything. If you want to see me, why bother talking to me?"

Chairman Li has created such a mystery, President Fang is always welcome to visit the Blue House at any time." Fang Mingyuan is the president of Hong Kong Kumho Film Group Company and Kuok Shipping Group Company, and it is not wrong for him to call Fang Mingyuan the president.

"Your Excellency, you think I am willing to be so mysterious?" Li Jianxi pointed at Fang Mingyuan and said, "It's not all because of his persistence."

"Haha, I appreciate His Excellency the President's kindness, but I really don't dare to go to the Blue House." Fang Mingyuan laughed twice.

"What does President Fang mean by this? Could it be that our Blue House is like a dragon's pool and a tiger's den?" President Lu said with a puzzled look on his face, but he could clearly hear that Fang Mingyuan said "dare not go" rather than "don't want to go".

"Cheong Wa Dae is not a dragon in a tiger's den, but the media and people in your country are really crazy. Although I am not well-known in recent years and have many fans around the world, thanks to God,

In addition, everyone is giving me face, and I am careful myself, so to this day, most people only know my name but not my appearance. I don’t want all my efforts in this area over the years to be wasted, let alone

Lose the quiet life we ​​have now." Fang Mingyuan said with a smile. President Lu and Li Jianxi's cheeks were slightly warm, and they knew that Fang Mingyuan was clearly referring to the domestic citizens who were more powerful than the Hong Kong paparazzi.

"Just kidding." Fang Mingyuan said with a smile, "Actually, I want to meet with the President and have a few words. But I don't want outsiders to know, so I have to trouble President Li."

"I wonder what President Fang has to say?" President Lu was no longer obsessed with Fang Mingyuan's way of meeting. He looked at his watch and asked directly, "My time to stay at Ssangyong Motor Company is limited. I can only have another hour at most.

time, I have to go to the airport to meet the foreign guests.”

"Actually, I decided to meet with you after I heard about the resignation of your country's prime minister. Do you understand why?" Fang Mingyuan said.

President Lu pondered for a moment and said with a slight displeasure on his face: "President Fang, if you say..."

"You are thinking wrong!" Fang Mingyuan interrupted him unceremoniously, "I will not threaten you to give up any interests in South Korea, nor do I want to gain any benefits from South Korea through you. I just think that your

Some practices are more in line with my views and interests. Of course, those in the north are considered friendly countries to our country, but this does not mean that I personally have any favorable impression of them. I just think that peace and stability on the Korean Peninsula are conducive to

The development of me and my country, and your secure seat as president, will also be conducive to the development of diplomatic relations between South Korea and our country. We are relatively consistent in our attitudes towards the United States and Japan. I don’t hope

The South Korean government is controlled by a completely pro-American and pro-Japanese faction."

President Lu opened his mouth in surprise. He didn't know what he wanted to say for a moment, and couldn't help but turn his eyes to Li Jianxi who was sitting beside him. Li Jianxi listened expressionlessly but said nothing.

"I don't represent anyone, I only speak to you on behalf of myself. To put it bluntly, I don't want you to become a lame president in the second half of your term, and I don't want your successor to lose the next presidential election.

To the pro-American faction. There will definitely be no peace on the Korean peninsula. My legitimate interests in South Korea will not be guaranteed, and Samsung Group will not be able to live in peace. Put it this way, does the President understand?" Fang Mingyuan said.

President Lu frowned and thought for a moment and said: "You mean... support me and help me stabilize the situation because it will be beneficial to you, but it will not harm South Korea's national interests?" He is a civilian president, but he is

If you are not a fool, you naturally understand that politicians also need the support of capital. And the support of capital also needs to be reciprocated. If we can get the strong support of Fang Mingyuan and Li Jianxi without harming South Korea's fundamental national interests,

, for him now, it is naturally a good thing.

"If the President believes that promoting the reduction of the US military's military presence in South Korea, maintaining peace and stability on the Korean Peninsula, condemning the Japanese government for wantonly tampering with history textbooks to deny the war of aggression, and vigorously developing trade exchanges between China and South Korea, these four things are damaging

South Korea's national interests, then I have nothing to say." Fang Mingyuan said.

"You said you don't represent anyone, but these four things don't seem to be entirely private matters, right?" President Lu said.

"I think all Chinese and Koreans are qualified to condemn the Japanese government's wanton tampering of history textbooks to deny the war of aggression, because our two countries are the biggest victims of Japan's war of aggression, and if President Lu

If you know me, you should know that I have never concealed my attitude towards such things. Does President Lu have any doubts about this? Reducing the military presence of the US military in South Korea and maintaining peace and stability on the Korean Peninsula are important for the three northeastern provinces of China.

Economic development is of great significance, and our family is currently considering investing in the three northeastern provinces. I don’t want the tension in North Korea-South Korea relations to affect the three northeastern provinces and my family’s investment. Can President Lu understand this?

?" Fang Mingyuan said.

"Your Excellency, President, maybe you haven't noticed that not long ago, the Russian Primorsky Territory Government officially decided to cooperate with China's Longjiang Province and Qingshan Province to expand entrepot trade between Primorsky Territory and China. And Liaoning Province, owned by the Fang family,

The Provincial Iron and Steel Group Company is cooperating with Japan's JFE Steel Co., Ltd. to jointly acquire a steel plant located in Qingshan Province, China, close to the China-Russia border. The Russian Railways has sent people to Qingshan Province to discuss re-construction with the relevant departments of the Qingshan Provincial Government.

Start the railway line from China to several ports in Primorsky Krai." Li Jianxi interjected.

"Our Russian partners are acquiring shares in several ports in Primorsky Krai. Before that, they have successfully become directors of Russian Railways, although they may still have a say in the Russian railway system.

Limited. But a railway branch in Primorye is still certain." Fang Mingyuan chuckled. "If nothing unexpected happens, my uncle will be transferred to Longjiang Province or Qingshan among the three northeastern provinces in the near future.

The province serves as the second-in-command, and Deguang Electronics Group, a subsidiary of our Fang family, will also build new production bases in the three northeastern provinces. In this way, your Excellency, the President, can trust my sincerity, right?"

President Lu couldn't help but feel moved. If what Fang Mingyuan said is true, then Fang Mingyuan's investment in the three northeastern provinces in the future will be quite astonishing. Otherwise, at least his investment in Russia will be wasted.

It will not be easy to win over the Russian Railways, the Primorsky Territory Government, or the port.

President Lu couldn't help but think again. If it is true, as Fang Mingyuan said, that the Russian Primorsky Territory's sea channel should be opened, it would also be beneficial to South Korea. This means that the trade between South Korea and China

Trade, especially the import and export trade of the three northeastern provinces and Shuofang Province, does not have to go through the ports of the Bohai Bay and enter China. And South Korea's exports to Russia and Central Asia do not have to go through Vladivostok and then pass through the entire Siberia like now.

.In this way, the transportation time can be shortened a lot.

South Korea is a resource-scarce country, and the few natural resources are in the north. South Korea is also a country that is highly dependent on the international market. The domestic consumer market alone cannot digest the goods produced every year. The four northeastern provinces of China.

As well as the vast markets and rich resources of Russia and Central Asian countries, they are undoubtedly needed for South Korea's economic development.

"Fang Shao intends to expand cooperation with Korean shipping companies and establish a land-sea combined transport route from China to Russia to South Korea, thereby further promoting trade between Northeast China and South Korea." Li Jianxi added, "Also

Support for His Excellency the President.”

President Lu's heart was pounding. The bustling world is all for profit, and the hustle and bustle in the world is for profit. If it can bring rich benefits to these financial groups in South Korea that are enough to make them excited, then even if he, a civilian president, does not like him,

, those people will not come to be enemies with him for the sake of profit.

But he then shook his head and said: "None of these benefits can be seen in a short period of time."

"But it can stabilize people's hearts and give you time to respond. I heard that your people have always attached great importance to diplomatic results. You might as well start here." Fang Mingyuan said, "In my personal opinion, it is better to follow your country's example.

Former President.”

President Lu was silent in thought, and Fang Mingyuan stood up and said with a smile: "I have said everything that needs to be said, and the last thing I want to say is, thank you, President, for opposing the proposal to change Seoul's name to Seoul." In early 2004, the mayor of Seoul intentionally promoted it.

The South Korean capital Seoul was renamed Seoul, but his proposal was opposed by many people, including some well-known figures, and President Roh was one of them. In the end, the proposal to rename Seoul to Seoul was completely rejected by the South Korean Congress at the beginning of this year.

Although Koreans can still make similar applications in the future, they can live in peace for at least a few years.

Fang Mingyuan left the room accompanied by Li Jianxi. Although President Lu still wanted to ask something, he also understood that this was not the right time, and once he opened his mouth, the equal status between the two parties might change.

Li Jianxi quickly returned to the room, picked up the wine glass and said: "Your Excellency, would you like to replace these dishes with hot ones?"

"No need." President Lu shook his head and said, "I don't have much appetite, just eat something." Although it is still winter, the room is relatively warm, and Fang Mingyuan does not stay here for a long time. And South Korea

Many of the traditional dishes are also considered cold dishes.

"I wonder what Chairman Li thinks about what President Fang said?" President Lu asked after drinking two glasses of wine.

"Both parties benefit from cooperation, but we suffer from confrontation." Li Jianxi said calmly, "But we can withstand these losses. If the President doesn't care about the two-year term and who the successor is, it doesn't matter." The Li family

He is not overly involved in Korean politics, but President Roh insists on expanding trade between South Korea and China, which is beneficial to the development of Samsung Group.

In fact, the relationship between President Roh and Lee Jianxi is one of mutual admiration and dislike of each other. The root cause is that the Lee family is undoubtedly a member of the Korean chaebol group, and Roh, as the head of the civilian government,

The president has been working hard to limit the power of domestic plutocratic groups.

In South Korea, the rise of many modern chaebols originated from the period when the powerful military government was in power. After the 1980s, after the political democratization of South Korea, the democratically elected civilian government had more legitimate rights to "popularly elected" than the military government.

Although it has basic legal qualifications to govern, it has actually lost the ability of the powerful military government to manage and control many chaebols. The chaebol reform policy that was originally intended to be implemented could not be implemented due to various reasons.

The most helpless thing for the government is that cracking down on the chaebols that have concentrated and controlled the development of South Korea's economy will put the national economy, which was already in a period of decline, into greater difficulties. After the end of the Cold War, the development of the world economy

Although it is accelerating, the competition between countries is also becoming more and more fierce, and South Korea is sandwiched between the world's second largest economy and China, the world's fastest economic development. Every president must shoulder heavy pressure for economic development.

However, since the late 1990s, economic crises have broken out many times around the world, and South Korea has not been immune. In order to ensure economic development and social stability, the South Korean government can only provide support and support to these domestic chaebol enterprises.

A wide range of suppression to avoid causing major shocks to the domestic economy and society.

As a result, these chaebols in South Korea have gained greater freedom of movement and social influence than during the military government era, and they have used many means and methods to contain and influence government policies, create public opinion in their favor, and fight against the government.

Limit policies that suppress chaebols.

"Chairman Li, I personally admire your business capabilities, and I am grateful for the glory that Samsung Group's strong international competitiveness has brought to the country, but you should understand that chaebols control the country's economic development and in the long run

Look, it’s not a good thing..." President Lu sighed. (To be continued.)
