Since Korea was colonized by Japan, neither North Korea nor South Korea, which inherited half of North Korea, has ever been close to China.
Especially after the Korean War, North Korea, which behaved in a rebellious manner, was regarded by almost all Chinese as the representative of "farmers and snakes".
"That's right! Roh Moo-hyun pursues the sunshine policy of former President Kim Dae-jung, advocates improving relations with China, and even encourages learning Chinese! Judging from his governance strategy, it is beneficial to our plan to acquire Daewoo Group!"
"So it is necessary for us to pay a personal visit to the newly-appointed South Korean president?" he said thoughtfully.
"If we can win Roh Moo-hyun's support, then the acquisition of Daewoo Group will be half successful! But...?" Feng Jianhui hesitated.
"But what?"
"However, although this President Lu is beneficial to us in terms of political leanings, he is a mercenary guy!"
"Haha, it's good to be mercenary! It's best to deal with this kind of person!" He said with a smile. He is not short of money now, and if Roh Moo-hyun is interested in money, he will be willing to satisfy him.
"Jianhui, that's it! In the afternoon, you go to the Presidential Palace of South Korea in person and meet with Roh Moo-hyun. Briefly talk about our original intention of acquiring Daewoo Group, and then say that I want to visit in person tonight or tomorrow.
Visit." He said immediately.
"I understand, Chairman, I'll do it right now!"
"Yeah. Go ahead. If you have any news, please tell me as soon as possible!"
…
The Blue House was originally the palace of the Goryeo Dynasty. After the Joseon Dynasty established its capital in Seoul in 1426, it was used as the back garden of Gyeongbokgung Palace, and some buildings such as Yongmu Hall, Gyeongnonjae and martial arts training grounds were built, and a king's palace was opened.
Cheongwadae is named after the blue tiles on the main building. There are 150,000 blue tiles, each of which can be used for more than 100 years. This is also one of its most remarkable features.
The first thing you see when you arrive at the Blue House is the blue tiles of the main building. The main building of the Blue House is backed by Bukaksan Mountain. The blue tiles and the curved roof complement each other very beautifully. Just like the Blue House represents Korea. The blue tiles and the curved roof design
It means sealing the Blue House.
This is the first time I have come to this world-famous political center of South Korea and the seat of the Presidential Palace in person!
Because winter has just passed, my eyes are full of gray and white tones mixed with rare greens, so my eyes did not stay on the surrounding scenery for too long.
Under the guidance of the staff, he successfully arrived at the presidential reception room after being inspected by the Blue House guards.
The reception room, which has a rich decoration style of ancient Korean palaces, made people walk around with interest after entering. Especially the paintings hanging on the walls are of exquisite craftsmanship and high level. After admiring them, they become a waste of time.
The main pleasure of boring time.
"Squeak!"
As the door opened slightly, there was a slight friction sound. A middle-aged man wearing a suit and having an elegant demeanor strode in.
At this time, I had already heard the footsteps of the other party approaching from far away. I straightened my clothes and took the initiative to greet him.
"Mr President!"
The solemn yet respectful voice made Roh Moo-hyun, the first person he saw after entering the door, nod his head with a smile on his face, "I didn't expect that the famous chairman of Hanhua Group controls Standard Chartered Bank, Dongchao Group, Huayang Group, etc.
Gentlemen from dozens of large companies are actually so young!"
"Mr. President, you are overly praised. Compared to your political achievements, my career is nothing!" he said with an unchanged expression.
And he also understood Roh Moo-hyun's subtext, which meant: We have found out your details very clearly!
"Mr. Liu, you are very humble!"
"Thanks!"
"Please take a seat!"
With that said, the two of them sat down on the guest sofa by the window.
The secretarial staff standing aside had already brought tea.
"I like drinking ginseng tea? I wonder if Mr. Liu likes it?"
"Ginseng tea nourishes and nourishes the body. There is no reason why I don't like it." As he said this, Liu Dong picked up the teacup on the table, paid a humble bow to Roh Moo-hyun, and took a slow sip!
“It’s indeed a good thing!”
"As long as Mr. Haha likes it!" Roh Moo-hyun said with a smile.
After finishing the first cup of tea, Roh Moo-hyun put down the teacup and asked with a smile: "Mr. Liu is young and has achieved achievements in his career that others cannot match in decades. I don't know what his impact is on the current economic development of South Korea."
Any suggestions for the situation?”
If this question was asked three years ago, he would definitely not be able to answer it. But now that he has experienced more, read more books, and has more professional economic and management knowledge, it is not difficult to answer such a question.
!
"I think Mr. President knows the problems of South Korea's economic development better than me, an outsider. The chaebol economy can only be applied temporarily, but it cannot last long! Moreover, it will also inhibit the vitality and innovation of the country's economic development!"
"So what Mr. Liu means is that South Korea should enact an Anti-Monopoly Law like the United States, open the market, and introduce more foreign investment?"
"No!" shook his head.
"Oh, why?" Roh Moo-hyun asked curiously. What he just said should be exactly what he wanted.
In fact, he really hopes that Roh Moo-hyun can do this. He knows that he must not agree to this, otherwise it will be difficult to convince the other party to support his acquisition of Daewoo Group today!
"Because the Korean economy has just emerged from the 1998 financial crisis, what is most needed now is to stabilize the market order, not to enact anti-monopoly laws and force chaebols to take risks. In addition, South Korea's economic and technological development level is very high, but in
In terms of courage and vision, they are not as good as the Japanese!"
He did not answer Roh Moo-hyun’s question about foreign investment, because he himself is a foreign investor. No matter what he says on this issue, it will be disadvantageous for him.
It would be better to proactively raise another question to attract Roh Moo-hyun’s attention.
And the issue of choice has indeed attracted the other party's attention.
"Why do you say that?"
"I think Mr. President is familiar with oda, right?" Liu Dong said.
Of course he is not unfamiliar. As the president of South Korea, Roh Moo-hyun is very clear about the political and economic exchanges between China and Japan.
And ODA, the English abbreviation of official development assistance. After China decided to reform and open up in 1979, Japan began to provide ODA to China. Over the past 20 years, the Japanese government has provided China with a total of nearly 3 trillion yen in ODA aid. Accounting for China
Receives 60% of total foreign official aid. In most years in the 1980s, ODA funds from Japan accounted for 40% of China's infrastructure construction costs.
Although the 3 trillion yen aid seems like a lot, most of it is a loan and will have to be repaid in the future.
In addition, with the help of these aids, Japanese products have successfully opened up the Chinese market. Hitachi, Sanyo, and Sharp have almost occupied China's home appliance market, while Toyota and Honda have become the most familiar car brands to Chinese people. There are countless similar examples!
If China hadn't been able to digest and absorb it and its ability to innovate independently was not weak, I'm afraid the market would still be flooded with Japanese products.
It can be said that this 3 trillion yen in aid has brought the Japanese a large market of more than one billion people and supported them in becoming the world's second economic power.
I have to say that the Japanese have made a good deal and have a long-term perspective.
In fact, the Japanese methods have also made China, which has suffered a lot, grow a lot. The aid plan to Africa that is increasing year by year is a replica of the Japanese methods!
"Mr. President, South Korea's internal market is small. If you want to develop, you can only go outwards. After the reform and opening up, the economy has developed rapidly and the market capacity has increased rapidly. China, which is only a small area of water, is the best choice! And this is also the Korean economy.
The way out!" Roh Moo-hyun said seriously, looking at the silence.
China's market is huge. When China develops, it will naturally have a strong attraction to neighboring countries. Compared to the annoying Japanese, although I don't have much favorable impressions of Koreans, at least I don't dislike them.
Moreover, fundamentally speaking, Korea is still a descendant of Shang and Zhou Miao people. Whether it is Jizi Korea, Weishi Korea, or the four Han counties behind, Koreans have the same roots as China. This can be seen from the fact that the people of the two countries have the same surnames.
It can be seen.
Therefore, in the absence of historical hatred, it is preferable that Korean companies can weaken or even replace Japan's influence in China's business community.
In fact, the words played into Roh Moo-hyun’s wish.
Politicians are all realistic. The reason why he is anti-Japanese and anti-American is that Roh Moo-hyun has clearly realized that China's rise has become an irreversible trend.
As China's economic, political, and military capabilities improve, it will inevitably form a strong deterrent and influence on neighboring countries. This kind of strong change is something Roh Moo-hyun has to consider.
Moreover, if South Korea wants to become an influential power, it must get rid of the influence of the Americans. But relying on South Korea's power alone, it is obviously impossible for the Americans to give up their military bases in South Korea. At this time, it has recently emerged and is
China, which is developing rapidly, has become a good communication partner.
Whether it is for the development of South Korea's economy, or to check and balance the Americans, and ensure South Korea's independence and unification. Or in other words, for the future reunification of North and South Korea, China is a hurdle that cannot be bypassed!
"I didn't expect that Mr. Liu, in addition to his amazing achievements in business, also has a good eloquence!" After a long silence, Roh Moo-hyun suddenly laughed.
"Mr. President, it's not that I am eloquent, but I just stated a simple fact! I think the Korean government and you have long recognized what I said! You have even started to do it now!" he said with a smile.
Roh Moo-hyun's moderate compliment won Roh Moo-hyun's favor. More importantly, the huge sum of money worth nearly 10 million US dollars received by his wife Kwon Yang-sook last night made Roh Moo-hyun satisfied. (To be continued.)
