Chapter 427 Safe House
In the Garden of Infinite Flowers, Kim Jong-ming and Choi Min-sik waited from the afternoon to the evening, but they were finally invited to enter. Of course, the other party was the only one to see Jin Zhongming in the end, and the location was also arranged in a safe house.
A safe house, as the name suggests, is a simple meeting room that ensures that conversations are not leaked...... Speaking here, first of all, no one will trespass for no reason, and then there are various anti-eavesdropping methods, and more importantly, the person talking does not need to be responsible for his or her own words, because from a legal point of view, the information obtained in the safe room cannot even be used as evidence.
To tell the truth, Jin Zhongming's first reaction was that his aunt was disgusted by himself because of Jin Qichun's incident, so she disgusted herself in turn...... There's a kind of hiding a voice recorder to come in?!
How can you say that? The old woman loses her temper a little, can you still see her like her?
"Why do you dare to come to me?"
"Naturally, it's because of the open-mindedness. Jin Zhongming replied without hesitation.
"Who gave you such frank confidence?" the aunt continued to ask coldly.
"It's a complicated question. Jin Zhongming lowered his head and smiled, and then took advantage of the situation to sit down...... In other words, he didn't think that the other party would take the initiative to invite him to sit down.
"Take your time, don't rush...... It's a safe house, and you can say it for as long as you want. The aunt urged with a little mockery.
"First of all, the confidence you gave me, President," Kim Jong-ming replied with a smile after sitting down. "In any case, I have always believed that you are a good politician and not a politician who follows your own personal likes and dislikes, and that you should think about issues from the perspective of political interests, not personal emotions that come to you in the heat of the moment. ”
The aunt snorted with a smile, but she didn't refute...... No one would argue with that.
"Secondly, I have confidence in Secretary Zheng Hucheng. Jin Zhongming continued to say calmly despite the other party's suddenly darkened face. "Or rather, it was Secretary Zheng Hucheng's loyalty to you that gave me confidence in my plan. This man will not betray you under any circumstances, so if he accepts my opinion, it will at least mean that what I have done in his opinion is good enough for you. ”
The aunt's suddenly darkened face gradually softened, but she didn't say anything for a long time to express her approval or denial.
It's really a matter of attitude.
In other words, of course our President Park knows that what Kim Jong-myung said is very correct, Zheng Hucheng has followed her for 20 years, before and after the saddle, if you want to doubt this person's loyalty, then simply don't be this president. In fact, although she didn't have a good face for Zheng Hucheng before, she also believed the other party's hard persuasion in her heart, and felt that Jin Zhongming really came with some good ideas with both sincerity and feasibility, otherwise she would not have let Jin Zhongming in......
However, whether it is the sudden outburst of the other party, or this kind of bargaining in turn, it is not a way of communication that a superior person can readily accept...... Even, in the eyes of the aunt, there is a vague smell of betrayal in Jin Zhongming's sudden behavior.
"Of course, I also know that since I have committed this kind of behavior, then you will not be able to calm down after all, President. Of course, Kim Jong Ming knew what the other party was thinking, but he seemed to be confident. "So I'm willing to give you real money to dissipate your anger, do you think?"
"How much do you want to take?" Rao is aunt was full of unhappiness before, and at this time she couldn't help but move slightly in her heart, I have to say that she is indeed a little short of money now, and asking for money directly from the chaebol has always been the only way for her to prepare funds.
"About 120 billion to 150 billion won, or more...... What does the president think?"
"Of course the numbers are fine," the aunt said with a slight frown. "But why is it an indeterminate range?"
"Because I really don't know how much money there will be, I can only say that if it is less than 120 billion, I will make up for it myself, and 150 billion should be an upper valuation...... I don't dare say more. ”
"Sounds like this money...... Haven't cashed in yet?" Auntie looked at the other party thoughtfully. "Secretary Zheng also told me, you want to do something, is that what you mean?"
"Thank you, Secretary Zheng Hucheng, for giving me this opportunity to present your strategy directly. Jin Zhongming responded with a little emotion. "He's really the only one who knows all the plans, and I wouldn't have dared to take that risk if it hadn't been for his consent. ”
The aunt was silent.
"Here's the thing. Jin Zhongming glanced at the president sitting opposite him, and knew that the silence at this time was not the same thing as the silence just now, if it was not good just now, maybe he would be thrown out, but now the other party is willing to listen. "I went to China and contacted the powerful Shanghai Salvage Bureau......
"Don't be kidding!" the aunt snapped into her senses. "At this time, you can't do anything about salvage boats, do you know what will happen once the cruise ship is fished up?"
"President. Jin Zhongming replied calmly. "I know that if the Sewol is salvaged during your tenure, it will inevitably cause a new round of social unrest......
"And you're still mentioning it?"
"But President, what if we can finalize this matter now, and then we can control the progress of the salvage? The problem now is that the salvage is inevitable, and if it drags on, it will only become more and more difficult for the families of the missing to accept, and what if we can control the timing of the ship coming out of the water, so that it will not affect you too much? The families of the missing have a sustenance, and public opinion will change a little because of the government's decision, right?"
The aunt immediately breathed a sigh of relief, but immediately shook her head again: "I probably understand what you mean, you want to say that anyway, the turmoil is so big now, and the situation is already very bad, so you are willing to pay a sum of money, and the long pain is better than the short pain Take advantage of this time to fish the boat up, and it's a hundred." But in fact this is impossible, I asked some experts, and they told me that the salvage of a wreck of this scale and the local maritime conditions will probably take eight to nine months, or even more, and this time span is placed here, even if the ship is out of the water a year later, and that is the most embarrassing point of time. ”
"President, your intelligence is outdated. ”
"Zhong Ming. Auntie sighed. "We've known each other for a long time, and some things are said directly, my current situation is very delicate, and everything has to be stable. Therefore, even if you say that the sky is falling, what is guaranteed to be fished up in three months, what is the world's top technology, what are the number of successful cases, I can't accept it. It's not that I can't trust you, but I can't go wrong again! God knows if there will be an accident then?"
"The president misunderstood. Jin Zhongming shook his head and said. "After I submitted the detailed hydrological information of the local area to the Shanghai Salvage Bureau, I received the reply that it would take at least a year and a half or more, because the official experts of South Korea did not carefully study the local seabed conditions, and they mistakenly thought that it was just ordinary sediment underneath, but in fact, after the relevant people I commissioned to investigate, it was found that there were probably large areas of large-scale reefs underneath......
The aunt was slightly stunned, and then reacted: "You mean that while starting the salvage procedure as soon as possible, it can be delayed?"
"That's why I'm looking for the Shanghai Salvage Bureau. Jin Zhongming hurriedly explained. "One of the most important diplomatic achievements of your more than a year in office is the formation of a de facto quasi-ally relationship with China...... This is remarkable, and the Shanghai Salvage Bureau is not only highly skilled and at the forefront of the world, but more importantly, they are not a private company, but an enterprise affiliated with the Ministry of Transport of their country. ”
"I see what you mean. The aunt frowned slightly. "But can it really take that long?"
"President, tens of thousands of hours of underwater operations, thousands of ship sorties, a year and a half of hard work, these are inevitable. And if we can slightly loosen the contract and let the salvage personnel avoid night operations, avoid wind and waves, etc., then the salvage time is further extended. Then, we can spend a few more months before the salvage to decide on the 'tender', and we can spend a few more months before the 'tender' to prepare the funds, so I think that even if the salvage process is started now, it will be completely possible to put the Sewol in a fairly late place...... Maybe the dust will have settled on the next general election. ”
"But it's still not right. After thinking for a while, the aunt suddenly shook her head again and again. "In that case, why do I have to wait for a while now, wouldn't it be better and safer to start salvage?"
Jin Zhongming was silent for a while, he knew that if it was said that delaying too late would be a torment for the families of the missing people, then the other party would definitely not approve of the combination of politicians and politicians. Moreover, he can't tell the other party a little Jiujiu in his heart - that is, the reason why he insists on starting it now is because he is not optimistic about the stability of the other party's governance, and when the salvage work is started, it is up to her to decide whether it will drag on or not.
"What's the matter, is there anything unspeakable?" the aunt laughed, "What's there in the safe house that can't be said?And besides, even if there are any unkind words, it doesn't matter, right? Didn't you bother to grab a list?
"No, no, no. Jin Zhongming also shook his head quickly as the other party did before. "The president thinks too much, I just took that to be able to sit here and discuss this matter with you calmly, it's not a bargaining chip......
Auntie was so angry that she laughed out loud.
"Well, actually, the reason for choosing to start salvaging the wreck now is because it's a huge benefit to you and me. Jin Zhongming also knew that he couldn't dwell on this issue, so he found a reasonable reason after organizing the language a little. "There shouldn't be such an endless irrational confrontation between the literary and artistic circles and the government, and the "Diving Bell" or something, as well as all kinds of messy literary and artistic works, should not attract too much social attention. Personally, I hope to end this embarrassing situation as soon as possible and be able to serve with peace of mind......"
The aunt frowned slightly: "I can understand your thoughts, but starting the salvage procedure can divert the public's attention?" If you want to say that it can attract the attention of the families of the missing, I can understand it, but the attention of the literary and artistic circles ...... How the hell is it transferred?"
"Don't they need to prepare funds for the salvage operation?" replied Kim Jong-ming with a normal face. "Isn't it necessary for them and the government to unite to promote the salvage work, and then tell everyone about the difficulties of the salvage work?"
"Didn't you come up with the funds?" the aunt looked at the young man in front of her suspiciously. "120 billion guaranteed, 150 billion in the end, isn't this the commercial price you negotiated with the Shanghai Salvage Bureau?
"That's right," Kim Jong-ming still calmed. "But this money is not only from me, but also from the government and the literary and artistic circles, and it is also from the whole Korean audience......"
"Audience?"
"I have a well-made nationalist film on my hands. Kim Jong Ming finally revealed the final mystery. "It was filmed in Jindo County, with the theme of naval battles, starring Lee Sun-sin and Choi Min-sik...... It was very appropriate, and I kept holding it in my hand and didn't move...... President, after the turmoil of "National Market", you should also understand that the social influence and money-attracting ability of such a film ...... What if I donate it and put it on the market around the opening of the Busan Film Festival?"
Aunt suddenly realized.
The other party wants to use this movie as a raw material, take the salvage operation of the Sewol as the righteousness, and pull the government and the literary and artistic circles to make a nationalist feast for the whole of South Korea!
If it succeeds, not only will the huge amount of money needed for the salvage be raised, and the salvage process will be launched to comfort the families of the missing, but the contradictions between the two sides because of "Diving Bell" will also be eliminated. Moreover, how is it not a political achievement for a person in power to create a false atmosphere of great unity?
And what if it doesn't work out, or if he doesn't accept this plan? Not only will he need to continue to consume it like this, but I'm afraid Jin Zhongming, who holds the list, won't stop there, right?
Jin Zhongming is a very annoying person, always likes to get out of control, but he is also a smart person who knows how to show benefits instead of empty words to make people accept his plan.
As soon as she thought of this, the aunt suddenly laughed: "Since there is such a good plan, why didn't you find me earlier, but instead sit back and watch the situation develop to the current situation, and you still have to start grabbing the list?"
"This is a safe house, so I'll just say something from my heart. Jin Zhongming sat up straight and smiled. "President, if the situation does not develop to this difficult situation, will you really be willing to accept my plan? And if I don't turn this old thing Jin Qichun into a dead dog today, who can guarantee that those hard-line conservatives will not make trouble next?"
The aunt immediately laughed.
Jin Zhongming also laughed, and it came naturally,
