Chapter 678: The President and His Wife
The invitation issued by the South Korean Ministry of Internal Affairs, that is, the cabinet, Hang Yu was quite surprised when he heard it.
But he soon calmed down, and the president of a small Korean province is only a high-ranking official. When Hang Yu was in China, high-ranking officials treated him like a nephew, and the prime minister of the cabinet was nothing.
In dealing with the "enemy", it is necessary to despise the other side strategically and attach importance to the other side tactically.
Hang Yu's thinking of a big country is not arrogant, if he doesn't have the mind of a big country, he will tremble and be respectful when he sees the prime minister of a small country, and it is not his own face that will be lost when it is broadcast, but the face of the people of the whole country.
"South Korea's current prime minister is called Chung Yun-chan, who served as the president of Seoul National University from '02 to '06. Although he has changed his career, he still pays attention to the affairs of Seoul National University, and his speech at Seoul National University touched him. Du Zhenhua said.
"Tell me about his specific information. Hang Yu said.
Jung Yun-chan graduated from the Department of Economics at Seoul National University and later became a professor in the Department of Economics, so most of what he did after that was related to economics, finance and high-tech. During his tenure as president, he promoted various reforms at Seoul National University, which caused great repercussions in society, and the proposed system of balanced selection of talents by the region was even supported by the public. Du Zhenhua said.
"In this way, this is a very popular person. Hang Yu said.
"Yes, Zheng Yuncan has been working in the education field, in our words, it is to make a name for himself in the education industry, with a prominent reputation and virtue, which has been recognized by the people and the government. In addition, South Korea has an electoral system, so people from any field they are in can participate in the election. When the local elections were held in 2006, the government and opposition parties at the time were courting Chung Yun-chan, and it is rumored that Lee Myung-bak, the mayor of Seoul at the time, met with him personally and asked him to run in the Seoul mayoral election. Chung Yun-chan refused to accept the olive branches extended by the political circles one after another, saying that he would become the first directly elected president of Seoul National University to serve a four-year term, showing a detached attitude. But since the end of 2006, when he stepped down as president, political circles have been courting and inviting him one after another, which shows his influence in South Korea. It can also be seen that this person is not an ordinary politician, but an academic person with some ideals and beliefs. Du Zhenhua introduced.
"It seems that being the prime minister of a country is indeed extraordinary. Hang Yu said with emotion, although South Korea is not big, but the elite of a country will definitely not be far behind.
But no matter how elite a person is, limited by the environment, it is difficult to make achievements that surpass our country. It's like one person working in a small workshop and another person working in a state-owned enterprise, then the environment starts different.
Premier Zheng participated in the SH Forum hosted by Fudan University in the past five years, with the theme of "Economic Globalization and Asia's Choice", focusing on how China and the entire Asian region can cope with the many challenges brought about by economic globalization through energy cooperation, financial cooperation, and information technology cooperation. In some ways, there are some things in common with your presentation. Du Zhenhua said.
Information technology cooperation is the Internet.
"What else?" Hang Yu wanted to know more about the other party, because he knew that the prime minister must have read his own information and knew him well.
Don't meet at that time, people know you very well, but you don't know anything about each other, and you fall behind at the beginning. As the saying goes, knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent is invincible, and knowing one's opponent can at least be clear in one's heart and calm.
Then, Du Zhenhua said a lot of information about Zheng Yuncan, and after Hang Yu listened to it, he already had a good impression of this person before they met. First of all, Zheng Yuncan is a relatively "backbone" Korean, which is quite rare.
Zheng Yuncan's attitude towards China is relatively good, and if it is not good, he will not take the initiative to invite Hang Yu.
Of course, it does not mean that Zheng Yuncan is pro-China, but he can rationally discard the historical and ideological contradictions between the two countries and consider the issue from the perspective of the interests of the two countries. In addition, at this time, it was a period of eagerness for exchanges between the two countries, and Hang Yu was an upstart in China, so it was natural to promote this meeting.
At ten o'clock in the morning, Hang Yu and Du Zhenhua, as well as several assistant bodyguards, a total of three cars came to the Blue House in South Korea.
Fortunately, there are guards to maintain security, so these reporters are not as "arrogant" as other places, they dare not rush to Hang Yu to interview, and can only click outside the security line.
Some reporters threw out questions, but Hang Yu didn't bother to answer, and entered the Blue House under the protection of Yuan Hongyu. To Hang Yu's surprise, it was not only Zheng Yuncan's team that came to greet him, but also the South Korean president and his wife.
"The President of South Korea is also here, and it is a good welcome ceremony. Hang Yu said with a smile.
"I didn't expect it, maybe it was a temporary idea. Du Zhenhua said.
"It's not an improvisation, you're not the only one to meet at the Blue House today. Xue Qi still acts as a translator.
"Who else?" asked Hang Yu.
"Just look back. Xue Qi said.
In front of him was the South Korean president's wife and the prime minister, and it was inconvenient for Hang Yu to turn back, but he had already heard a noise from behind, and obviously other very famous people were also coming, I don't know who it was.
"Hello Mr. Hang, and welcome to the Blue House. Zheng Yuncan was the first to shake hands with him.
"Hello Premier Zheng, I am flattered. Hang Yu said politely, and then shook hands with the president and his wife: "President Li, Mrs. Li, I didn't expect you two to come." ”
