Rows of high-rise buildings, ancient palaces, the beautiful blue Han River, the majestic Namsan Mountain, the bustling and clean commercial streets, and the pedestrians who are in a hurry like the streets of Tokyo, this is Sun Ziming's first impression of Seoul as he saw it on TV.

The plane landed at the international airport outside Seoul, and Sun Ziming and Uncle Zeng had just gotten off the plane, when several young men in suits and leather shoes politely stopped them, "Mr. Sun, welcome to the Republic of Korea, please come here." ”

The flight attendant, who had been on the plane and was almost exclusively serving Sun Ziming, explained softly in fluent Chinese: "Mr. Sun, they are from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and we Xuansheng Zhong would like to entertain you." ”

Yes? What's going on? Also the Prime Minister? Not only Uncle Zeng and Yuan Mei, but even Sun Ziming was stunned. Fortunately, when Uncle Zeng went to Beiping, he also saw this formation, and hurriedly reminded Sun Ziming in his ear: "It may be Yang Guozhong's matter, be careful." ”

Sun Ziming also felt that it could only be this matter, no matter how famous he was, he didn't have any official status, and he wouldn't let the prime minister of the family send someone to greet him. There is only one possibility, and that is that Comrade Sun in the north has greatly improved its financial situation by relying on entrepot trade, which has added to the confusion in the hearts of the Republic of Korea.

In this way, Sun Ziming and his entourage were stopped by them at the airport, and before they had time to sign autographs for any fans, and before they had time to take photos with any fans, they were crowded by the staff of the South Korean government into several 'Hyundai' courtesy cars and drove directly out of the airport.

This made Rong Shao, who came to promote the film on the same plane, cry and laugh, sat in the car sent by the light and shadow company behind, and joked with Yuan Mei: "Ah Mei, this time I have been stained with your light, and I also enjoy the treatment of a foreign head of state, and the police car will open the road!" ”

Rong Shao is not an outsider, Yuan Mei looked at the police car outside the window in the distance, and said with a sad face: "Rong Shao, don't be kidding, this time Brother Ming is planted, and Brother Zhong will be greatly affected." ”

It is indeed the treatment of the head of state, these South Koreans actually used a police car to open the road, and the courtesy car was almost not planted with the flag of the light and shadow company. When it comes to the meeting place, it will be difficult for the trilateral trade between the north to be unaffected by the South Korean media.

However, Sun Ziming, who was sitting in the courtesy car, didn't care, and now the Russian Far East let Guozhong and his gang control zhì. The role of the sun in the north is almost none, if they can still provide mineral resources cheaper than Russia, and they can't find a suitable excuse for a while, who is willing to pay him more than a billion dollars in taxes every year? What if South Korea can give itself duty-free entrepot trade and cut off ties with the north, the world is about strength, and Comrade Sun can flutter a few times in his small pond.

Not long after, the convoy turned a corner on the bustling street, and under the guidance of the police car, it reached the bustling city center of Seoul, turning into a very quiet highway, and the pavilions hidden among the trees were faintly hidden.

South Korea's Prime Minister Hyun Seung Chung personally greeted him in front of a building, and there were no expected reporters next to him, perhaps in the eyes of these political figures, that kind of trick is not on the table, and there are too many uncertain factors.

"Mr. Sun, I have admired the name for a long time, and welcome to the Republic of Korea."

"Thank you, Prime Minister Xuan, for arranging, this is flattering."

Hyun Seung Chung courteously and thoughtfully invited Sun Ziming, Uncle Zeng, and Li Chengkai to have a meal of exquisite Korean food, shook hands with them warmly and politely said goodbye, and arranged another inconspicuous modern business car to send them to the office of Light and Shadow Group in Seoul. The Korean Light and Shadow Office, established in 1990, has not developed well in conservative and xenophobic South Korea in the past two years, although it has been completely localized, and several TV series and movies produced by Zuò have failed at the box office and ratings. This time, Sun Ziming and Uncle Zeng came together, just to find a way to work, South Korea has a population of 50 million, and the economy is so developed, it is a pity to give up this market.

When they arrived at the office, Sun Ziming and Uncle Zeng shook hands with the staff who greeted them at the door, encouraged everyone, and immediately followed the director Park Hanze to his office.

The tall and fat Park Han is an American-born South Korean, and his grandparents are both university professors in South Korea. As soon as he entered the office, Park Han immediately made tea with his own hands, stood respectfully in front of Sun Ziming, and said in a deep voice: "Boss, KBS (Korea Broadcasting Corporation), MBC (Korea Culture Broadcasting Corporation), and SBS (Seoul Broadcasting Corporation) have all sent people to express their intention to cooperate with each other, and said that the conditions can be very generous. I guess the government wants you to cancel the entrepot trade with North Korea. ”

This is for sure, no matter how small the political level is, it is also a big thing in the entertainment industry.

After pondering for a while, Sun Ziming said in a low voice: "You ask in your personal name, how does document processing trade (a kind of entrepot trade, goods do not enter a third country, but only document operation) operate?" ”

"Yes"

Park Han immediately went to call, and Uncle Zeng wrote in his notebook: There won't be a conflict with the north, right? It really can't be done, the business here can be abandoned, and we will implement the development model of the Japanese entertainment industry in the mainland, and we will be able to see results in another two or three years.

Sun Ziming also wrote: The north will have to give up sooner or later, it is too unpopular over there, and if it continues like this, it will affect the reputation of the group.

'Hiss', Uncle Zeng tore off the paper in his notebook, lit it and threw it into the ashtray. Uncle Zeng knew in his heart, now that the south is more important than the north, even if Sun Ziliang and Yang Guozhong are brothers and sisters with the prince in the north, it is time to give up. Those who achieve great things may be emotional, but they will never be emotional.

Not long after, Park Han came in with a happy face and said in a low voice, "Boss, President Kim of MBC wants to invite you to dinner." ”

These Koreans are really on the road, and they are also private TV stations that come forward, which avoids the inconvenience of both sides.

"Okay, the time and place are set by President Kim, and I will definitely arrive."

"Yes"

After Park Han replied, he immediately found out the information of President Kim Cheol-nam, "Chairman, President Kim is from a famous family, and he is an uncle and nephew of Prime Minister Hyun Seung-jong, and he graduated from the art department of New York University......"

……

Dinner was arranged in a quiet private club on the outskirts of Seoul, and the elegant President Kim was waiting at the door of the club in person, without even bringing an entourage. Seeing this, Lu Huiguang and Li Chengkai helped Sun Ziming open the car door and protect the top of his head, and when he got out of the car, they immediately got back into the car.

Elder Jin came up from afar, bowed slightly and shook hands with Sun Ziming, "Director Sun, I have admired my name for a long time, it is a great honor to invite you to the banquet!" ”

Sun Zi Ming was also well-mannered, holding President Kim's warm and dry hands with both hands and shaking them gently, just like an old friend for many years, "President Kim is polite, the younger generation has long wanted to visit you, but unfortunately he has been entangled in chores." ”

The two shook hands and greeted each other for a while, and then walked into the garden-style clubhouse. The clubhouse at night looks like it should be in the style of the Ming Dynasty and looks very quaint. The two walked through the pavilion hung with palace lanterns and came to an elegant and quiet small pavilion, where the maids dressed in traditional Korean clothes had already set up the food and drinks.

"Director Sun, please feel free", President Kim invited Sun Ziming to sit down, and then instructed in Korean, and the two handsome maids immediately lowered the curtains around them, bowed down and withdrew from the pavilion.

The two drank lightly and got drunk, and then chatted about Sun Ziming's entrepot trade, "Director Sun, the contemptible people opened a trading company, specializing in entrepot trade. You know, now that we're allies with the Americans, trade is not limited by quotas, and the tariffs are so low that a lot of people like to come to us. We are friends and can do you this for free. ”

Sun Ziming said indifferently: "Thank you for your kindness, we are partners with the California consortium in the United States, and our products are exported to all over the world, and they handle customs declarations and quotas." As long as they are willing to put dollars into people's wallets, we have no problem. ”

President Jin, who had a slight alcoholic look on his face, took a glass of clear 'Zhenlu' wine for Sun Ziming, and said with a slight smile: "What if the contemptible company can re-export Russian trade for Director Sun for free?" ”

Sun Ziming sandwiched a piece of kimchi and put it in his mouth, this thing is sour and spicy and refreshing, a bit like the taste of capers in his hometown, "Hey, President Jin misunderstood, I am a good businessman in addition to being a director, and there is no reason to pay the north in vain." ”

"Understand and understand", President Jin had a toast with Sun Ziming, and began to propose the construction of comprehensive cooperation between Hong Kong Satellite TV and MAC. This Jian yì is in the middle of the grandson's mind, but he has to take the initiative himself, after all, he has the Asian Light and Shadow Group, as well as the American Light and Shadow Group, and the strength is already much stronger than MAC. In addition, South Korea's electronics industry is good, and its technology is stronger than that of Hanhua, so the two sides can also cooperate in this regard.

Sun Ziming has been in the United States for a long time, and he is used to going straight and getting used to bargaining in person, "President Jin, we are businessmen, and there is no need to be as subtle as the politicians. Let's be honest, we have been promoting integration in the Far East. You have the money, the technology, we have the human resources, the Russian Far East has the resources, and as long as we form a loose economy, everyone can benefit enormously from it. ”

Kim Zhe-nam also came back from the United States, and Sun Ziming's straightforwardness made him feel like he was back in college and began to talk like an American. Anyway, he came today, just as a mouthpiece, and in the end, the people behind him can make a decision.

"And what do you want? Director Sun, it is said that what you can get from us can be obtained from the United States, and maybe it is easier there. ”

Sun Ziming touched his glass with him, and said a little excitedly: "Yes, at present, it is more convenient to introduce some civilian technology from the Americans, but we are of the same culture and species, and we have no historical hatred, so we should naturally be allies." I remember that after the Manchus entered the customs, your country trained an army to prepare for the Wangshi uprising, and you cooperated with us in the counterattack. President Kim, sooner or later, China will be a giant, and when China and the United States come into conflict, how will we overseas Chinese deal with ourselves? The moon is the hometown of Ming, we will come back sooner or later, and it is better to have a friendly neighbor who can hang out than to live next to a bad neighbor and bark at me, are you right? ”

Sun Ziming's feelings for a great country have inadvertently hurt people, and President Kim has a sense of powerlessness in his heart, he is not one of those angry young people who shout about the Republic of Korea every day, and it will always be the fate of the Korean nation to survive in the middle of the two countries.
