Jin Xiaosan naturally understands these truths, although he really wants to get the support of the Alice Group, but he also understands that if he agrees to this condition of the Alice Group, it will not be the support of the Alice Group, but his own back road. Once he decided to establish this level of cooperation with the Alice Group, he agreed to the two conditions proposed by the Alice Group...... The first condition can still be considered, but the second condition is completely unconsidered...... I'm afraid that without the strength of my uncle, those guys who were originally wavering in front of themselves and their uncle can take the initiative to push themselves down.

"This is impossible," Jin Xiaosan shook his head, "Mr. Zhang, I can't agree to your conditions at all." ”

"Needless to say, it's so sure," in the face of this kind of condition that the other party would never agree to, Zhang Lan showed some surprise, not as Jin Xiaosan and the senior North Korean officials present imagined that he was unhappy or other emotions, but a ...... Disagree

Jin Xiaosan, who couldn't believe that there was such an expression of disapproval on Zhang Lan's face, and the senior North Korean officials present blinked their eyes in disbelief, and finally had to be convinced: That's right, the expression of disapproval on this guy's face was disapproving. But why didn't he think so? What qualifications does he have to disagree?!

The senior North Korean officials present were all angry in their hearts!

Zhang Lan naturally saw the expressions on the faces of Jin Xiaosan and the North Korean high-ranking officials present, but at this moment, this guy ignored it and said to himself, "Have you all forgotten, the second condition I mentioned is actually being implemented in your country now." ”

What the?! When did North Korea, which has always practiced a planned supply system and a planned economy, abolish the planned supply system and open up the market?!

The senior North Korean officials present were almost angry: Even if you are bullshit, there should be a limit, okay? Something that has never happened before, you actually say that we are already doing it? How can this really be true?!

But before their anger came out, three words came out of Zhang Lan's mouth again: "Sinuiju." ”

It completely extinguished the fire in their hearts.

Yes, Zhang Lan's words reminded them that in fact, in North Korea, there is such a special place, and this is Sinuiju. After Kim II came to power, although he controlled the country through various means, it was always true that many Koreans were hungry, and it was also true that hunger could easily lead to social instability, so Kim II also deeply realized that the most important issue in consolidating the Kim family's dominance in North Korea and turning the Kim family into North Korea's "Kim I, Kim II, Kim III, and Kim ......" was to develop North Korea's economy, and at the very least, not let people starve to death.

In order to develop the economy of the DPRK, King Kim II also visited China three times, twice to the Zhejiang region of Jiangsu Province to conduct economic inspections, learn from the experience of China's reform and opening up, and in 2002, as a pilot project, established a special economic zone in Sinuiju with no real name.

Although it is not called a special economic zone, in this nameless special economic zone, North Korea has tried to abolish the most typical feature of the planned economy: the supply system, and has greatly raised the wages of workers from 110 won to 2,000 won on average. At the same time, factories in the SEZ have an independent accounting system, and cooperative farms have implemented a group accounting system. An industrial park was established in Kaesong to attract investment from Korean merchants.

And most importantly, in Sinuiju, a special region, and Kaesong, the North Korean government has made a pioneering decision to open up prices and cancel state subsidies for food and other daily necessities. Even the nameless special economic zone established in Sinuiju appointed Yang Bin, a Dutch-Chinese, as the chief executive, but this special economic zone only ran for less than half a year before it ran aground.

Speaking of which, the reason for the stranding is very funny, because Yang Bin, the chief executive of the SAR hired by North Korea, committed an accident in China and was arrested by the Chinese police, and the North Korean government's plan to build a special zone in Sinuiju had to be put on hold.

Now that Zhang Lan mentioned the Sinuiju "Special Economic Zone" again, the brows of Kim Xiaosan, who had forgotten about this matter for several years, and the senior North Korean officials present suddenly eased: Yes, the current North Korea, but there is still such a special economic zone that exists in name only, because this special economic zone is a failed example, which makes the big guys feel faceless, and everyone chooses to forget it intentionally or unintentionally, but now that Zhang Lan said this, Jin Xiaosan and a group of senior officials in North Korea realized that I rely on it! Feelings: We have been engaged in the special economic zone a few years ago, and since this is the case, the request put forward by Alice Group also belongs to the ...... What can you consider? …,

For a moment, the expressions on the faces of Kim Xiaosan and the North Korean high-ranking officials present were a little relaxed.

In fact, strictly speaking, North Korea's economic reform in recent years, although the effect is not obvious, but it still has some effect, compared with the "difficult march" years, the economy of North Korea has improved compared with previous years, I dare not say that they can eat enough, but at least in recent years, there have been a lot fewer cases of ordinary people starving to death, and the market economy has begun to show a little bit of emergence, except for those large trading companies designated by the state, units and groups that were not qualified to engage in commercial trade before, Now, after applying for and approving some business activities, on the whole, the pace of reform in North Korea is not very large, and the results are not very significant, but it has really played a small role.

What everyone was worried about before was that this "special economic zone" was rashly built, but now it's okay, with the two examples of Sinuiju and Kaesong,

After realizing that there was a precedent of a "special economic zone" and that it was absolutely politically tenable, the thoughts of the senior officials present immediately changed: if X-Rite Group was involved, it would be possible for Alice Group to develop a "poor and backward" country like Ukraine into a medium-developed country in Europe now, and then once Alice Group took root in North Korea, As a vested interest in North Korea, how can it not be a big profit?

The attitude of all the North Korean people present began to loosen up a little: Originally, no one would mention this matter, but now, since the Alice Group is involved, they are afraid that they will not be able to make money? As for the Sinuiju Special Administrative Region that turned out to be a failure...... Can Yang Bin's bastard compare to Alice Group?

"That's right, the Sinuiju Special Economic Zone project promoted by my father has done a lot of useful work for the economic development of North Korea, and we have learned a lot of experience and lessons. If that's the case......" Jin Xiaosan groaned, and after looking around at everyone and seeing the obvious loose expressions on their faces, he finally said, "We may be able to give it a try." ”

As he spoke, his eyes still roamed over the faces of the high-ranking North Korean officials, seeking the opinions of those who remembered the interests.

"I support General Secretary Kim's view."

"I also support that the Sinuiju Special Economic Zone has learned a lot of useful lessons for us, and I believe that it is time to further deepen the reform of the Sinuiju Special Economic Zone."

"We should follow in the footsteps of the old secretary and continue the pace of economic reform......"

Sure enough, there was almost no opposition, and after realizing that there was a precedent and that their family had reaped a lot of benefits from the Sinuiju Special Zone, everyone began to get excited and expressed their opinions.

"I believe that you have made a very wise decision," Zhang Lan smiled, "I believe that history can prove that the whole of Korea will rejoice in your decision today...... The old secretary has pointed out a path to a bright future for North Korea, and you will build this road into a highway! ”

Zhang Lan's words, although they are inevitably flattering, are also true, because from a historical point of view, after Kim Il Sung came to power, the life of the North Korean people is obviously still progressive compared with the old society, but a series of ills brought about by a high degree of public ownership, as well as the ** of officials, etc., coupled with natural disasters, have caused the economic development of North Korea in the past few decades, almost standing still, but in any case, the Kim family has made some contributions to the people of North Korea, as for how this contribution and obstacles should be judged, There are different opinions, and each has its own reason.

It is also said that if economic reform is to dig the roots of a country, then the foundation of the country is too unsolid, and the example of the republic in economic reform is the best example: we have reformed, but we have not dug our roots, and the economy of the republic is thriving, although there are still problems of one kind or another, but there is no doubt about one thing, that is, the life of the common people of the republic is definitely much better than before.

Don't look at the criticism of all kinds of messy things in society all day long, but the ancestors have a good saying, "full of warmth and lust", a person will only care about these bullshit things when he is full of food and drink, if a person can't even fill his stomach, his whole mind will be used to fill his stomach, and he has the heart to care about what officials**, **, boring people in order to be famous all kinds of hype...... Wait, all sorts of bullshit? …,

"Since everyone has no opinion, then we will discuss this issue after we go back." Jin Xiaosan didn't want to say too much about this issue in front of Zhang Lan, so he made a summary of this matter.

The North Korean officials, who were excited just now, suddenly understood that they would not continue to talk about this matter, they had lost their temper just now, and now, they could not continue to do so, if the Alice Group took this opportunity to get more information, the losses in the future would be their own.

Jin Xiaosan and a group of senior North Korean officials no longer continued to discuss this matter, Zhang Lan couldn't help but have some regrets in his heart, and only some regrets, just this information just now is enough.

………………………………………………………………

At night, the entire capital of South Pyongan Province, Pyeongseong, probably only Zhang Lan and the hotel where they stayed were still somewhat lit, and this, it was still an order issued by the Supreme Government of North Korea to Pyongcheng City, ordering them to guarantee the electricity consumption of the general secretary and his party and Alice Group in any case, this is a "political task", if it cannot be completed, not only the officials of the power system and power supply system of Pyongseong will be unlucky, but even the officials of the power supply system and power system of the entire South Pyongan Province will be unlucky.

The hotel where Zhang Lan and Jin Xiaosan stayed, called Pingcheng Hotel, is probably difficult to reach the level of a two-star hotel in China, but as far as the entire South Ping An Province is concerned, it is already their most luxurious hotel, and in order to complete this political figure, the officials of the power supply system and power system of South Ping An Road not only fully ensure the power supply of the Pingcheng Hotel, but also "luxury" to bring the only 80,000kw high-power diesel generator set in the entire South Ping An Road. In the event that there is a power supply or other problems in the power system, the power supply of the Heijo Hotel is guaranteed.

Under this kind of power guarantee service that North Korea has been able to reach its apex, the Pingseong Hotel is brightly lit, but in this quiet and peaceful atmosphere, in those corners and places that ordinary people can't see, soldiers with loaded guns, ** leading police dogs, and secret sentry posts, swimming sentinels, etc., are staring wide-eyed, monitoring every move of this building, among them, Zhang Lan and Zhang Chenxi, two executives of Alice Group, their actions, Naturally, it is the top priority of surveillance!

But in this kind of place, where it seems that there is no way to fly even a fly in, in Zhang Lan's room, there is a person who should never have appeared in this room, but this person is sitting in the shadow of the light, plus the hat on the sweatshirt he deliberately wears, so that people can't see his face clearly at all, making this person more and more mysterious.

Zhang Lan was not self-conscious about the mystery of this person, and asked this person directly, "What is the effect of the efforts of the past few days?" ”

"It doesn't work very well," the mysterious man shook his head slightly, "those guys, they are too tightly controlled by the North Korean government, it's not enough to have money, they actually want to leave this country, although we promised them so, but before we saw that we really have the ability to take their families away, they have great doubts, and we can get too little useful information from them." ”

"Hmm~~ That's it." Zhang Lan frowned slightly.

For example, there is a Sino-North Korean joint venture hotel in Dandong City, which has typical North Korean characteristics, all the waitresses are beautiful girls sent from North Korea, these waitresses are all university educated in North Korea, everyone can speak Chinese, each can sing and dance, both gentle and elegant and lively and lovely, absolutely in North Korea selected one by one, If you compare the status and influence of this job in North Korea, it is probably similar to the domestic flight attendant in the 80s, which is definitely a noble job that is the envy of countless North Korean girls.

In the face of this group of North Korean girls who are like fairies, I don't know how much money is coveted, and I try all kinds of ways to get them, but in the end, none of them can succeed, in the face of the temptation of money, those North Korean girls are very "calm" and patriotic, and their position is very firm, no matter how much money you pay, I thought I would not go with you. …,

Of course, the reason is not that these girls are so patriotic, even if the vast majority of them are staunch patriots, but on this shijie, there will never be a shortage of girls who worship money, even if they are North Korea, the reason why they chose this firm "patriotic road" is not that they regard money as dung, but because they are all staunch elements loyal to the country and loyal to the leader, only in this way will the girl with a "strong political position" be sent abroad.

In addition, if they commit misdeeds, they will be severely punished, and if they defect, the whole family of them who remain in the country will suffer...... Yes, that's right, these North Korean girls working in the Republic seem to be free, but in fact there is an invisible but real thread in the hands of the North Korean government, and no girl dares to risk the death of her entire family and the possibility of being brought back to the sugar daddy, the risk of the "sugar daddy" job is too high.

In fact, it's not just these North Korean girls who work in Dandong are like this, even if they are North Korean diplomats, their husbands and wives are abroad, and their children have to stay at home, if they defect, then their hostages who stay in the country will suffer, you know, in North Korea, those who can send them abroad are people who are very trusted by the state, but that's it, they also have hostages in the hands of the government, so that when they make certain decisions, they have to throw a mouse, and after going abroad, they have to go through a month of intensive brainwashing, What they see and hear abroad can only rot to the stomach.

However, in such a situation, this guy was able to get so much useful information, which actually made Zhang Lan quite satisfied.

"In that case, should we vote first to show our sincerity?" After thinking for a moment, Zhang Lan suddenly raised her head and asked the mysterious man.

"This is the best," the mysterious man thought for a moment, nodded, and agreed with Zhang Lan's proposal, "As long as there is such a convincing and powerful example there, my work will be much easier in the future." ”

"Alright, let's do it!" Zhang Lan thought about it for a while, and immediately slapped the board!
