Chapter 7 The prospect is not good

Li Xiuman couldn't help but feel shocked. He never thought that Fang Mingyuan would have such an attitude towards the script "The Battle of Myeongryang". Even his artists were not allowed to participate in the filming. This was the first time he heard Fang Mingyuan say in these years

Artists who disobey him must be banned. And he believes that Fang Mingyuan's banning order has an absolute deterrent effect on these artists under his banner!

"Ming Yuan must consider many aspects. This script is not suitable for filming by Movie Entertainment Film Company and our company's artists. Let them concentrate on preparing for "The Battle of Luliang"." Li Xintong noticed his slight change in expression,

She said calmly, she had stayed in China for many years, and she naturally understood why Fang Mingyuan had such an attitude and lost people's hearts just for the sake of a mere box office. That was picking up sesame seeds and losing the watermelon!

Li Xiuman is also a smart person, and he immediately nodded with understanding and said: "I'm sorry, I didn't think carefully. I will clearly inform them of Mr. Fang's attitude."

"Don't underestimate "The Battle of Luliang". I'm even more optimistic about it being released to the global market in the future." Fang Mingyuan said calmly. When it comes to film and television works with serious historical themes, it's better not to talk nonsense. Appropriate exaggerated praise is human nature.

, but if you tell lies with your eyes closed, deliberately beautify yourself and belittle your opponents, you will be playing fools on the audience. "The Battle of Myeongryang" may be able to achieve good box office in South Korea, but it wants to be promoted in the global film market

, then the voice of criticism will become louder, and it will even have a counterproductive effect on the image of the film company. Movie Entertainment Film Company currently does not lack good movie scripts, and Hong Kong Kumho Film Group Company and its own image will definitely not tolerate this.

Class taint exists.

"Yes, I understand!" Lee Soo Man bowed his head and said, "I will ask Movie Entertainment to make full preparations."

"Well, the script can be sold for a good price. Don't be soft-hearted just because Chairman Li is a director." Fang Mingyuan added, "When the charity event is over, you bring Chairman Qiu to see me, and I will give him ten minutes." Li Xiuman.

He was startled for a moment, then smiled and agreed.

Li Xiuman left, and Cui Taiyan arrived next and sat in front of Fang Mingyuan. Fang Mingyuan poured him a cup of tea and said with a smile, "No need to receive guests?"

"Leave it to someone else. It's rare to see Fang once again, so I have to say a few words." Cui Taiyan took the tea cup with both hands and said, "Thank you."

Cui Taiyan took a sip of tea and then said: "Master Fang, there is no need for me to explain what the Yanpying Island shelling incident means to the relationship between the north and the south of the peninsula. The efforts of the forces that hope for peaceful reunification in our country over the past decade can be seen as

Because of failure. In the following days, the two sides will return to the vigilance and confrontation situation in the past. I heard that as early as a few years ago, Mr. Fang had been persuading Chairman Xuan to give up the Kumgang Mountain tourist area project. Now it has been proved that Mr. Fang

His vision is indeed well-deserved. Now I want to hear Mr. Fang’s opinion. Under the current situation, does Songyue Industrial Park still have a future?"

Songak Industrial Park was an agreement reached by Chairman Zheng Lao of Hyundai Group Corporation with the North Korea. It is a sovereign state belonging to the North Korea and jointly managed by the North and the South. The North Korea provides land and labor, South Korea provides funds, technology, and equipment, and South Korea Hyundai

The group and the Korea Land Development Corporation affiliated to the South Korean government developed a special economic zone that implemented different economic policies from those of the North Korea. The two parties began to cooperate in the construction of this industrial park in 2003 and began official operation in 2005. Songyue Industrial

The establishment of the park is mainly to attract investment from Korean companies. Its geographical location is superior, very close to Incheon Airport and Incheon Port, and the transportation is quite convenient.

Through cooperation between the two parties, South Korean companies can take advantage of North Korea's cheap labor and land, thereby reducing operating costs and improving the competitiveness of their products in the international market. On the other hand, North Korea can obtain an important and "lucrative" sum relative to its own country.

It will not only increase foreign exchange earnings, but also increase the employment rate of the country's citizens, opening a window to understand the international market and international advanced technologies. According to the plan, the Songak Industrial Park will be divided into three phases. Eventually, the industrial park will develop into an industrial park with cutting-edge industries such as information and communications as the core.

The main high-tech park will be equipped with commercial areas, living areas, tourist areas, logistics centers and other facilities. By then, more than 170,000 workers will be employed in the Northern Dynasty, and the annual output value will reach more than 20 billion US dollars!

Since it started operating in 2005, Korean companies have successively settled in it. So far, more than 150 Korean companies have settled in Songyue Industrial Park, employing more than 40,000 workers from the Northern Dynasties, and the annual output value has exceeded 30,000 yuan.

billion US dollars.

However, the development of Songyue Industrial Park has not been smooth sailing. There have been many stumbling blocks between the two parties. For example, in 2009, the North Korea unilaterally proposed that South Korea increase the land rent from the original 1,600 yuan.

The increase from US$10,000 to US$500 million, and the monthly salary of workers in the North from US$57.50 to US$300, was a request that South Korea said was completely unacceptable!

Although South Korea has previously proposed three major principles for the operation of Songak Industrial Park, that is, "existing agreements must be observed, economic affairs should not be affected by the political and military situation, and Songak Industrial Park should be internationally competitive." However, the Northern Dynasties

There was no affirmative response. The "Guangming" incident and the Yeonpyeong Island shelling incident have occurred successively in the north and the south, making the relationship between the two countries tense. However, at present, the situation in Songak Industrial Park is still stable.

, and no obvious conflicts or frictions occurred.

However, many Korean entrepreneurs who have investment projects in Songak Industrial Park are very worried that if the bad relations between the two countries escalate further in the future, it will affect the property of the companies stationed in Songak Industrial Park and the personal safety of employees.

"SK Group has investment projects in Songyue Industrial Park?" Fang Mingyuan asked rhetorically.

“Songyue Industrial Park currently mainly produces clothing, watches and other labor-intensive products, but according to the agreement reached between the two parties, in the future Songyue Industrial Park will develop into a high-tech park focusing on cutting-edge industries such as information and communications.

.sk Group still has certain advantages in this regard." Cui Taiyan said with a wry smile, "In the past two years, the government has been negotiating with us, hoping that we can invest in Songyue Industrial Park at the right time.

"

Fang Mingyuan nodded in understanding. Compared with companies that produce clothing, watches and other labor-intensive products, the scale of investment by high-tech companies is undoubtedly much higher. Once the Songyue Industrial Park changes, because it is located north of the 38th Line

In Northern Korea, it will be extremely difficult to withdraw production equipment to South Korea. Moreover, there may also be the risk of corporate default.

"So, I would like to hear Mr. Fang's views on the prospects of Songyue Industrial Park. I know that this topic is relatively sensitive, and it is understandable that Mr. Fang is unwilling to say it explicitly. SK Shipping currently has several tankers that plan to decommission in the future. I plan to

I wonder if Mr. Fang is interested in ordering five VLCC tankers from the shipyard of Guo's Shipping Group Company?" Cui Taiyan chuckled, "And I promise not to say anything to anyone, not even my son.

Tell me half a word." Fang Mingyuan was startled. The total price of the five VLCC tankers reached more than 500 million US dollars. Cui Taiyan was really generous.

"President Cui, I currently do not directly hold any shares of Hyundai Asan Company." Fang Mingyuan said with a smile. Hyundai Asan Company is the main developer of Mount Kumgang Tourist Area and Songak Industrial Park. As a member of Hyundai Group

As a part of the company, its shareholders naturally include other companies under the Hyundai Group. Fang Mingyuan indirectly holds its shares, which is inevitable. Cui Taiyan smiled knowingly, he had already got what he wanted to know.

"I wish Mr. Fang a good time today, and I won't interrupt you." Cui Taiyan stood up with a smile and said, "Within a week, SK Shipping Company will send people to Hong Kong to discuss with Kuok Shipping Group Company about ordering VLCC tankers.

Matters. I hope we can have more cooperation opportunities in your country and even around the world in the future."

"Are you so not optimistic about Songyue Industrial Park?" Li Xintong asked thoughtfully after seeing off Cui Taiyan.

"I am not optimistic about the credit of the Northern Dynasty government." Fang Mingyuan said calmly. The Northern Dynasty government fully embodies the principle that "it is the uncle who owes the debt." Over the years, many domestic businessmen have also suffered from its trade.

It is so painful that even the governments of various countries are owed huge debts by it. Even the polar bears are helpless. The most powerful country in the universe cannot afford to offend it, so why don’t we hide from it?

It is probably nonsense to say that the Koreans promoted the establishment of Songak Industrial Park out of good intentions! Although the Northern Dynasties could obtain income from land rent, corporate income tax and workers' wages, Korean companies also gained considerable benefits from it.

Generous. Judging from the distance from Songak Industrial Park to Incheon, if it were in South Korea, the land cost and the same amount of worker wages would be dozens of times the expenses of Songak Industrial Park! The monthly income of workers in the Northern Dynasties is

More than fifty U.S. dollars. Even if it rises to three hundred U.S. dollars per month in accordance with the request put forward by the North Korean government in 2009, the annual income is only $3,600, while South Korea's per capita income in 2009 was

At more than 17,000 U.S. dollars, you can see how much the Korean companies that settled in Songyue Industrial Park have reduced their labor costs!

Moreover, if it is true as the Koreans plan, Songyue Industrial Park will employ more than 170,000 workers in the future, these workers who have seen the world outside the wall will be able to influence millions of people in the Northern Dynasties.

Today, as the number of defectors from the North continues to grow, this will also be a great challenge to the rule of the Northern Dynasty government.

Fang Mingyuan believed that the officials of the Northern Dynasty would not fail to see this, but the lack of foreign exchange income, the stagnation or even regression of the domestic economy, and the fact that they could not even guarantee self-sufficiency in food also left them with little choice.

At the same time, Fang Mingyuan couldn't help feeling that despite the unremitting efforts of several governments and people in South Korea, the level of mutual trust between the north and the south was still very low. The occurrence of the "Guangming" incident and the Yanping Island shelling incident made people like Cui Taiyan

People who do not have much hope for the future prospects of the two countries.

"Huishang, when did you meet Mr. Fang? How come I've never heard of you mentioning it?" Cui Zheyuan asked his wife with a smile on his face. He actually didn't want to come to this charity event today, but Cui Taiyan was the organizer.

, how could he not give face to his cousin. But at this time, he was glad that he was here. Otherwise, how could he know that Fang Mingyuan actually knew his wife and took the initiative to greet her in public.

"It happened several years ago. Xin Tong came back from China, and a few of us made an appointment to have dinner together. Mr. Fang accompanied Xin Tong at the time, and we got to know each other." Pu Huishang glanced at him, but still explained, "

But there has been no contact since then.”

"Hmph!" Pu Yingnian snorted coldly. He didn't like this brother-in-law at all. He was a famous playboy before getting married. Although he became more restrained after getting married, he could still listen to him from time to time.

I came across some rumors about Cui Zheyuan and starlets. Although he said that there was no real evidence, Park Yingnian believed that the situation is easy to change, but the nature is hard to change! Although the girl married into the Cui family, she did not suffer any injustice, but her smile was

A lot less.

Of course, his bad mood was not just due to the appearance of Cui Zheyuan. He originally planned to take the girl home to have a good talk after participating in this charity event and ask her about her situation in the Cui family, but Cui Zheyuan's

The appearance of Fang Mingyuan made his plan come to nothing. And more importantly, when he saw Fang Mingyuan and Li Xintong coming in the same car, looking close to each other, even though he was married, he still felt a little angry.

Pu Huishang pinched her brother secretly. Although she knew why Pu Yingnian was in a bad mood, she didn't want to show it outside. Not to mention Fang Mingyuan now, even Li Xintong's status was far higher than that of Pu Yingnian, and

Now that he is married, what qualifications do he have to express his dissatisfaction with Fang Mingyuan? I haven't seen even upper-class bosses like Cui Taiyan and Li Yingxian being polite when facing Fang Mingyuan.

Cui Zheyuan didn't notice the little actions of Park Huishang's brother and sister. At this time, all he could think about was how to use his wife to get to know Fang Mingyuan and be able to strike up a conversation. Although as the person in charge of the logistics company under SK Group,

He is considered an upper-class elite in Korean society, but how can he be satisfied like this? He can't get the president or president of the core company of the group company, but he can get a vice president, and the vice president is the same.

Very good.
