Chapter 378: A Potentially Big Market
PS: Thank you to the book friends Xiong Tibing and Ali Amanda for the monthly pass. Thank you for the tip.
At this time, Li Shunzhu did not know that the land in Yalong Bay, which he thought was already in his pocket, had already been remembered by someone, and had already submitted an informal proposal to the Yazhou Municipal Government. Now he is at the port to welcome the arrival of domestic distinguished guests.
As the ship slowly approached, the passengers on board could not wait to pour down. Li Shunju and Takuda Gosa did not rush to meet them, but stood at the exit and waited quietly. For they knew that it was impossible for the One to come out of the boat crowded with them. Either disembark before everyone else else, or it will appear in Zuihou.
"There is still a lot of room for development in the transportation industry in China, and their means of transportation are too old, and they don't pay attention to the service of passengers," Takuda Gosa said with a disdainful face, "If such transportation conditions were in Japan, they would definitely be sued and sued for ......."
"Takada-kun," Li Shunzhu interrupted Takuda Gosa's words with a headache. This Takuda Wuzuo, along the way, either praises the beautiful women of China, or criticizes Huaxia for not being good here and lacking there, although Li Shunzhu also agrees with most of his criticisms, but something, even if it is a praise poem, if you listen to it too much, it will be annoying. And there's no guarantee that no one here can understand Japanese or Korean.
Takuda Gosa closed his mouth in a daze, although he said that he didn't think much of the Koreans in his heart, no matter what, Huaxia still dragged down the Japanese army back then, and fought hard with the Japanese for more than ten years, until the United States participated in the war, and these Koreans, if it weren't for the defeat of Japan, I am afraid that they are still the second- and third-class nationals of Japan. Relying on the thighs of the Americans, these Koreans are now five people and six places in one person
However, this time he came, but he was ordered by his boss to cooperate with Li Shunxu, so even if he was dissatisfied, he would not show it in person. It's just in my heart, but I cursed a few words.
There were only a few passengers disembarking from the ship, and only then did a middle-aged man appear at the exit of the ship, and then behind him, seven or eight more men and women appeared, surrounding him, and walking towards the exit together.
When Li Shunzhu saw them, he immediately straightened his clothes and pulled Tuotian Wuzuo, and then he greeted them quickly, and said respectfully: "Li Jun, welcome to Yazhou in China." ”
If Fang Mingyuan was present at this time, he would definitely be able to recognize that this middle-aged man led by him was Li Xianghe, the representative of Samsung Company that he had met at the Hollywood Emerald Bird Film Company.
Li Xianghe nodded slightly, it can be regarded as a return gift to Li Shunzhu, this time he came to Huaxia to do market research in advance if China and South Korea officially establish diplomatic relations in the future, and Samsung's goods enter Huaxia. As for Yazhou here, I just learned that Li Shunxu planned to invest here, so I came to take a look. Of course, it would be great if you could find any new business opportunities here in Yazhou by the way.
Regarding Li Xianghe's arrogance, Li Shunzhu was not displeased at all. As a South Korean, he certainly understands the status of the Samsung consortium in the Korean economy. If you have to pick out three things that Koreans can't avoid, then I'm sure many, many people will say, death, taxes, and Samsung. Samsung Group, the largest conglomerate in South Korea, has a presence in all aspects of Korean life – the hospital where you were born, the apartment you grew up in, the funeral home you need after you die, and almost everything you need to live during this period. Last year, Samsung Group's total sales were close to $100 billion, almost one-sixth of South Korea's GDP that year. Exports account for one-fifth of South Korea's total exports, and 20 percent of the total market capitalization of companies in the Korean stock market is related to Samsung Group. This shows the position of Samsung Group in South Korea.
Samsung Group's pivotal position in the South Korean economy naturally determines its well-deserved status as the leader among these consortia in South Korea. What's more, Li Shunzhu is only a director of a subsidiary of the Tianle Foundation, while Li Xianghe is an important cadre of the Samsung Consortium headquarters, and the status between the two is naturally self-evident. If it weren't for Li Shunhu's wife, who had a close kinship with Li Xianghe's brother-in-law, Li Shunzhu would not have been able to talk to Li Xianghe at all. Li Xianghe, who is a descendant of the founder of the Samsung Foundation, and Li Shunxu is just a peripheral relative of the founder of the Tianle Foundation.
"The weather here is much better than in cold China," Li Xianghe squinted his eyes and said with deep emotion. At this time, even on Jeju Island, there is no such comfortable and warm weather.
"It's a great place to come on vacation, isn't it?" said Li Shunzhu with a smile.
"Well, yes, you are very discerning" Li Xianghe patted Li Shunzhu's shoulder and said, "At least the weather here is very attractive to Koreans now." Before that, though, Huaxia had to make a good haul of their transportation system. Whether it's a ship, a plane, or a train, everywhere is crowded with people in a hurry, just like a canned sardine, and their various supporting facilities are also very dilapidated, except for a few cities, the vast majority of cities, there is not even a star hotel that meets the international hotel standards, which is really a bit helpless. ”
"Please come with me, I have prepared a place to stay, but I beg your pardon, as you just said, there are very few star hotels in this country that can meet the international hotel standards, so here, I can only ......"
"You don't have to say it, I've been mentally prepared for this. Li Xianghe interrupted him, waved his hand casually, and said, "You don't have to say much."
Unlike Fang Mingyuan, Li Shunxu and his family stayed in two villas provided for them by the Yazhou Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government, which were originally the place where the leaders of Guangdong Province recuperated and vacationed. The facilities in all aspects are naturally beyond the reach of ordinary guest houses. Of course, Luo Xianli and Yu Linsheng didn't want Fang Mingyuan and them to move here as well, but they were politely rejected by Fang Mingyuan.
The villa is a small three-story building with a study, dining room, and sports room. And standing on the balcony, you can see the beautiful scenery of Yalong Bay from afar.
"Well, it looks pretty good here," Li Xianghe nodded with satisfaction. Although it is not a star-rated hotel, it is much better than the hotels and guest houses in the city. Li Xianghe and Li Shunzhu sat down at the table and chairs on the balcony, and someone brought tea and drinks. Li Xianghe waved his hand, and the people waiting on the side immediately retreated.
"What did you gain from inspecting the market in China this time?" asked Li Shunzhu politely.
"Is there a harvest? Li Xianghe picked up the teacup in front of him, took a sip and said, "The market in China is very broad, and the future is even more limitless.
"Huh?" Li Shunzhu was a little surprised. It was the first time he had heard of the possibility of China establishing diplomatic relations with South Korea. "China and North Korea are good friends, if diplomatic relations are established with us, can North Korea agree?"
"They?" Li Xianghe sneered with disdain, "What impact would it have if they agreed or not? If it hadn't been for the Chinese army to invade our country, there would have been no North Korea on the Korean Peninsula a long time ago, and the status of the Republic of Korea in Shijie would have been even better than it is now." In Li Xianghe's view, if North Korea's territory and population could be owned, the South Korean economy would be able to rise to a higher level. You must know that on the Korean Peninsula, all the resources in South Korea are far less abundant than those in North Korea, and the act of exporting mineral resources in exchange for foreign exchange as North Korea has done is undoubtedly a shameful waste of rare resources, and South Korea, which lacks resources, has to use precious foreign exchange to purchase resources from abroad. If South Korea had been able to unify the Korean Peninsula back then, how could this have happened?
"Nowadays, the economy of the Soviet Union is not as good as before, and the relationship between China and us has also eased greatly in recent years.
"What's more, North Korea has been holding the thick legs of the Soviet Union for many years, pointing fingers at the Chinese government, and in the fifties, the North Korean government wiped out the North Korean ** personnel trained in China, thus weakening China's influence on North Korea. In propaganda and textbooks, they falsified the Korean War and history, weakened the role of the Chinese Volunteers, exaggerated the role of the Korean People's Army, and deliberately exaggerated the Chinese invasion of Korea many times in history. In the 60s, it blew up the memorial hall and graves of the soldiers of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, leaving hundreds of thousands of foreign souls in China with nowhere to rest. At the beginning of China's reform and opening up, the DPRK government made wanton accusations against Huaxia's internal affairs and denounced 'revisionism,' and this incident had long made the Huaxia government extremely disgusted with the DPRK government. Hehe, I'm afraid that if it weren't for the United States and Japan, China would not have refused to allow our country to reunify the Korean Peninsula again. Li Xianghe sneered, "The Chinese people can be regarded as shooting themselves in the foot, paying a heavy price, but supporting a treacherous regime."
In order to resist the US aggression, the Chinese government sent a million volunteers into the DPRK to help the Koreans, hundreds of thousands of dead and wounded, blood stained the territory of the DPRK. The words and writings of the Volunteer Army and the like have been completely removed from North Korea to China, and the older generation of Koreans who experienced the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea in those years are also silent about this, and even the younger generation now does not know the history of the people helping the Korean people resist US aggression, and even the tour guides who specialize in receiving foreign tourists do not know anything about it. They denied this history
Li Shunzhu shrugged his shoulders and said: "It is not surprising that the Huaxia government has also propped up another treacherous regime in the south, and for this reason, the two countries are still fighting intermittently. He was referring to Vietnam.
"And promoting the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries has great benefits for China's economic development" Li Xianghe pulled the topic back, "China has a vast land area, a large population, is a huge market comparable to Europe, if the two countries can carry out normal economic and trade exchanges, for our country, it is an opportunity for the economy to take off again, this visit to China, but also strengthened my idea." "South Korea has a small land area and a limited population, so it can be said that there is not enough domestic demand market, and the external market has been mostly divided between European and American countries and Japan.
But China is different, it has just implemented the reform and opening up policy, and it can be said that it is a huge blank market for Shijie countries, and it depends on who can get it quickly. After all, compared with European and American countries, South Korea, which belongs to the same cultural circle as China, has an innate advantage, and the distance between the two countries is so close, from the southern port of South Korea to the coastal areas of China, it is more convenient than Japan for a large market with a land area of 9.6 million square kilometers and a population of 1 billion, even if the Koreans only account for 1 percent of the market share, it is almost equivalent to having such a rich expected income from another domestic market?
"But the average income of Chinese people is very low, and they can't afford our products at all. Li Shunzhu hesitated for a moment and said, "In my opinion, the development of trade between the two countries may ...... in the first few years."
"No, no, no, you're wrong," Li Xianghe shook his head again and again, "You only see the surface, but you don't really see the current situation in Huaxia I can responsibly tell you that Huaxia people have considerable purchasing power"
Li Shunzhu was a little confused, Li Xianghe swore like this, naturally it was impossible for him to say anything, but where was all this purchasing power? Why couldn't he see it?
Li Xianghe smiled slightly, but he didn't say anything more on this topic, although the two of them are also related, but after all, they belong to different consortia, so there is naturally no need for him to tell him all about his experience in these days. was able to talk to Li Shunzhu about the previous ones, and it was already based on the previous relationship between the two.
