Chapter 1190: The Trade Fair Begins
The lobby on the first floor of the "Pyongchoo Hotel", which is affiliated with the Seoul Business Office, is brightly lit.
A small "China-South Korea" trade fair is being held here.
Perhaps because of Counselor He's face, Song Dongming, director of the Seoul Department of Commerce, personally attended and delivered a speech at today's trade fair.
In addition, many well-known companies in Seoul also sent representatives to participate.
Li Qingyun paid attention to the observation that basically the representatives sent by these well-known enterprises were all insignificant department leaders.
Needless to say, these people should just look at Director Song's face and come over to order something.
It's almost impossible to get any business out of these people.
Looking at the flattering appearance of the enterprise representatives in the audience when Song Dongming spoke, Li Qingyun couldn't help but shake his head.
"Qingyun, don't worry too much, South Koreans are so realistic......"
He Shiqiu, who was on the side, caught a glimpse of the helplessness on Li Qingyun's face, and couldn't help but comfort.
Of course, Li Qingyun would not be angry because of this, so he smiled and said: "Don't talk about this, come, Shiqiu, let's have a drink! This time I came to South Korea, but I will trouble you a lot." ”
Hearing this, He Shiqiu's face became bright.
To say that the son-in-law of the Lin family, although He Shiqiu had heard about it before, he didn't pay much attention to it.
First, the other party's position is not high, but he is a department-level cadre;
Again, the place where he works has nothing to do with himself, and there is no possibility of even meeting each other;
The most important point is that Li Qingyun's position in the Lin family at that time was still unclear, and no one could guess whether he would be cultivated as the cornerstone of the Lin family's future.
But since Li Qingyun transferred to Binzhou City, the situation has changed a lot.
Although his current position is also not prominent, he can be transferred from the remote Qianzhou Province to Binzhou City, an important city in the three eastern provinces, which at least shows that the Lin family recognizes this son-in-law's ability.
This time, following the opportunity for Li Qingyun to come to South Korea, He Shiqiu finally had a contact with him.
After some understanding, He Shiqiu had completely put away the contempt in his heart.
In his opinion, this "son-in-law" of the Lin family is extremely capable and decisive.
Judging from the way he dealt with South Korean government officials and South Korean businessmen, this young man's political wisdom was also very high.
Such a character, even without the support of the Lin family, a "towering tree", He Shiqiu believes that he can slowly surface.
Considering his current age, as long as he continues to develop step by step, his future can be said to be limitless.
With such a judgment, it is reasonable for He Shiqiu to deliberately befriend Li Qingyun, the "master of the horse", in the past two days.
Today's "trade fair", the Seoul Department of Commerce has organized a cocktail party to facilitate everyone's free communication.
When Li Qingyun and He Shiqiu stood in the corner and whispered, they naturally attracted the attention of some South Korean businessmen attending the meeting.
He Shiqiu is the Economic Counselor (with the rank of minister) at the Chinese Embassy in South Korea, with the administrative rank of Deputy Department, and his position is only below the Chinese Ambassador to South Korea.
In the diplomatic system, the rank of ambassador is not fixed.
From the deputy minister level to the deputy department level, there are all of them.
Like some more important countries, such as the United States, England and other countries, the ambassadors of China are all high-ranking officials at the vice ministerial level.
Among the personnel of Chinese embassies abroad, this kind of vice-ministerial-level ambassador is relatively rare.
As for ambassadors at the department level, it is more common.
Normally, there will be one or two ministers stationed in important countries where the Chinese ambassador is stationed in a major city that is not the capital.
This kind of ministers, they are also cadres at the department level, and they are at the same level as most of the Chinese ambassadors abroad.
Huaxia's ambassador to South Korea is also a department-level cadre.
Because of the small size of South Korea, Huaxia did not have a minister stationed in the country, and there was only a counselor in the embassy.
And He Shiqiu, the economic counselor with the rank of minister, is naturally the highest status among the several counselors.
Because He Shiqiu is relatively well-known in the entire South Korean business circle, he is also very concerned by everyone.
Therefore, even Li Qingyun, who was standing beside him, was noticed by many South Korean businessmen.
Li Qingyun was chatting with He Shiqiu about the economic crisis that South Korea has encountered in recent years, when a middle-aged man in his forties and fifties with thinning hair walked over with a humble face.
"Counselor He, hello!" approached, and the middle-aged man greeted He Shiqiu flatteringly.
"Well, it turned out to be Vice President Wu Xianyi, hello!" He Shiqiu shook hands with the other party quietly.
Seeing the middle-aged man's gaze glancing at Li Qingyun beside him, He Shiqiu smiled and introduced, "Let me introduce you to you, Mr. Wu." This is the head of our economic and trade delegation to China. ”
"Head Li, this is Wu Xianyi, the deputy general manager of 'Mando Co., Ltd.'. ”
Listening to He Shiqiu's introduction, Li Qingyun nodded in a sudden understanding.
He smiled and stretched out his hand to the other party, and said calmly: "Mr. Wu, hello! I'm Li Qingyun!"
When Wu Xianyi heard this, he hurriedly shook hands with Li Qingyun and said, "It turns out that you are Head Li, hello!"
After saying some unnutritious words, Wu Xianyi tentatively asked: "Head Li, I don't know what you think about the holding of this 'trade fair', and what do you think about the trade exchanges between our South Korea and your country?"
Hearing this, Li Qingyun snorted slightly: "I can't talk about any opinions." Our China and your country are originally close neighbors. Since ancient times, there has been trade between the two sides!"
"In recent years, with the acceleration of the pace of China's economic reform, our economic ties with your country have become closer than ever. ”
Speaking of this, Li Qingyun smiled disapprovingly and said: "Speaking of which, this economic and trade delegation sent by Binzhou City came to your country not to take advantage of it and attract investment, but to achieve a win-win situation!"
Li Qingyun looked at the President Wu in front of him with burning eyes, and said word by word: "Therefore, in my opinion." Today's 'trade fair' is not only organized by the Seoul Department of Commerce for our Chinese side, but also for the 'win-win cooperation' between our two countries in commerce ......and trade."
After Li Qingyun's words were finished, Wu Xianyi couldn't help but look at him twice.
Speaking of which, the purpose of Wu Xianyi's visit to this "trade fair" is different from other South Korean businessmen, he really came for the livelihood of his own business.
