Chapter 67 067 Banquet

The C919 special plane of Jiehua Airways under the jurisdiction of Qi Yiming landed at Gimpo Airport in Seoul, and the construction of Incheon Airport, which was familiar to future generations, had not yet begun at this time. Qi Yiming did not occupy a major position in the entire delegation, nor was he particularly conspicuous, but the heavyweight Chinese Foreign Minister Wu Xuejian attracted people's attention very much.

The Chinese mission's visit to South Korea was completely detonated by the South Korean Ministry of Foreign Affairs that came to pick up the plane as soon as it landed. Because the new clothing brand she started with Jacqueline was on the right track, Jacqueline, who was well versed in the effect of advertising, provided a group of Chinese officials with new brand suits for free. The clothing brand named MQ (MorganQi) will be mainly men's and women's formal wear or casual formal wear, taking the high-end brand route, absorbing the characteristics of many clothing designs in later generations, and the materials are also very high-end and the tailoring is exquisite.

MQ was a huge hit in Europe and the United States, and although the advertising was not yet in place, the sales results in the past two months were very gratifying, and Jacqueline has been included on the covers of several fashion magazines - because this unruly foreign girl claims to be the main designer of the brand.

There are also a number of sub-brands under the new clothing brand, including the production of high-end luxury goods such as bags, perfumes, skin care products, etc., as well as ordinary fashion brands that are more popular and popular.

The high-end clothing brands wore on the Chinese officials who had not taken off their rustic nature, and immediately blinded the eyes of the South Korean side, and they consciously stood with these "radiant" Chinese officials, which seemed very cheap and faceless.

However, the contact that should be done still needs to be done, and South Korean Foreign Minister Lee Won-kyung quite formally invited the Chinese delegation into the hotel where they had prepared in advance. To be honest, Li Yuanjing is still very entangled, and it stands to reason that the Chinese shot down 15 of their fighters in one go, which greatly affected the combat strength of the air force, and many excellent pilots were killed, and China and South Korea can be regarded as having a grudge. What's more, in the Korean War in the 50s, the volunteers couldn't lift their heads to the South Koreans, and nearly 400,000 people were wiped out by the volunteers. However, Li Yuanjing also knew that this time the matter was not a big deal, and the United States had instructed the Chun Doo-hwan government in advance, meaning that it would be good for both sides to step down, China apologized, South Korea accepted it generously, the two sides shook hands and took a photo, and a bad thing turned into a good thing.

In addition, as the largest supporter of North Korea, it would be a valuable thing to be able to lay a nail in the Sino-North Korean relationship, so Lee Won-kyung and a number of South Korean strategic and diplomatic figures are eager for China's visit this time.

As a result, negative and positive feelings were mixed, and Li Yuanjing, like many people, did not know what kind of expression to put on in the face of the Chinese envoy.

After holding back for a long time, Li Yuanjing still smiled slightly, bowed slightly and said to Wu Xuejian: "Welcome Mr. Wu to the Republic of Korea." ”

It's just that his originally consciously reserved smile still seems too pug in the eyes of many resentful people, especially a reporter standing nearby, holding up the camera and clicking to capture it. As a result, a photo of the Chinese foreign minister, who was straight and looked quite imposing, stretched out his hand slightly, while the South Korean foreign minister groveled and shook hands with the Chinese with a smile on his face, made the front page of the Chosun Ilbo the next day. No one will know what the consequences of this photo will be, but this is a later story, so I will not mention it at this time.

However, he said that Li Yuanjing received the Chinese delegation, arranged for them to stay in a hotel first, and then handed over the itinerary for the subsequent meeting, and it seemed that they were not in much of a hurry, and did not negotiate with the Chinese side until the next day.

Qi Yiming, who is used to seeing such a battle, feels a little strange, it is obviously a big thing to burn his buttocks, why are Koreans still unhurried, do they really think that everything is not a problem?

Wu Xuejian explained to Qi Yiming: "It may be that the United States has already made its position clear to South Korea in advance, and our negotiations will eventually bear fruit, and things are not very troublesome, and the South Koreans themselves already have expectations for this, so there is no need to pay special attention to it, but instead invite us to a banquet first." ”

Qi Yiming nodded, feeling that this was indeed more likely, and said: "This Quan Douhuan government, even if the result is known in advance, it has to be pretended, how can we all have the title of 'enemy' now, should we condemn or condemn, should we be snubbed or snubbed, their military government is already sitting unstable, and they don't take this opportunity to 'export to domestic sales', incite national sentiment, and unite their own people, is this still not enough hatred on their bodies?" ”

As a latecomer, Qi Yiming knows very well what the political atmosphere in South Korea was in the 80s. Although South Korea in the sixties and seventies carried out a miracle on the Han River, with rapid economic development, and after the eighties, it has basically entered a relatively developed country and region, but at this time, South Korea was still not the democratic form of government in later generations, but an authoritarian military government. In October 1979, Park Chung-hee, the president of the South Korean military junta, was assassinated by his subordinates, and the short-lived "Seoul Spring" appeared, but soon the military strongman Chun Doo-hwan launched the Double 12 Military Coup and established the military government again.

In May 1980, the Gwangju Incident broke out in South Korea, and the South Korean people who demanded democracy were suppressed by the military and police sent by Chun Doo-hwan, killing and wounding thousands of people and arresting a large number of demonstrators. However, the United States, which has always flaunted democracy and freedom, has made it clear that it cannot sit idly by and watch the disorder and chaos in South Korea, and officially allowed Chun Doo-hwan to suppress the movement. What is particularly ironic is that nine years later, there was also a June turmoil of a similar scale in the Celestial Empire, with casualties inferior to the Gwangju incident, but the Celestial Empire suddenly became the target of the whole earth, and it was a military embargo and all kinds of condemnation. Americans' faces are really changing too fast.

Or maybe in the end South Korea was overthrown in 1987 by Chun Doo-hwan, but not in the Celestial Empire, but this cannot be changed, and the negative impact of the June turmoil in the Celestial Empire has been infinitely exaggerated and demonized in later generations. In other words, this is also a gas-fired counterattack made by the West against the collapse of Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union and the failure of the Celestial Empire.

It was now 1985, two years before Chun Doo-hwan was overthrown in history, and the dissatisfaction of South Korean society with Chun Doo-hwan's military junta was getting worse and worse, and finally accumulated to 1987, when more than 8 million South Koreans took to the streets, and the military and police of the junta were demoralized and unwilling to suppress it again, and Chun Doo-hwan was finally overthrown.

Wu Xuejian obviously did his homework for South Korea, and he smiled slightly: "It's just that there is no smart person like Xiao Qi in the South Korean government, but this is the best, if South Korea incites public opinion, it will be a very unfavorable thing for us." ”

Qi Yiming snorted and said, "I just think that there must be a demon when things go wrong." ”

"Then let's pray that isn't the case." Wu Xuejian looked very optimistic.

That night, the South Korean side hosted a banquet for the visiting Chinese mission, and Qi Yiming was also present, but when he looked at the table of pork bone soup, kimchi, Korean barbecue and other things, he still felt a toothache. South Korea is cramped and densely populated, and there is a lack of natural resources, which is very similar to neighboring Japan. He lived in an era when Shandong, which was close to Japan and South Korea, became the kitchen of Japan and South Korea, and a large number of agricultural products from Japan and South Korea needed to be imported from Shandong, especially South Korea.

Before the crossing, Qi Yiming had been to South Korea to discuss business, and deeply experienced the high prices and small types of food in South Korea. At that time, there was still a strong inflation in the country, and the domestic people couldn't stand it, and if they came to South Korea to walk around, they would inevitably go back to show that they were living a happy and splendid life.

Just like the state banquet that invites Chinese VIPs now, pork rib soup and Korean barbecue look very attractive, but in fact, even if South Korea's per capita income is 30,000 US dollars in the future, these things are not foods that can be tasted on the dinner tables of Korean people. Visiting relatives with a piece of pork ribs, visiting the boss with a watermelon, and the gifts that seem to Chinese to be cheap, will be considered valuable by the sticks......

Qi Yiming also feels that the Koreans deserve it, and they can import vegetables and grains that they don't produce enough to China and other countries, as for pork and beef, they are completely blocking themselves, and South Korea's trade protectionism is particularly serious, which also leads to the lack of market supply, and the price is still so high.

Qi Yiming nibbled on a piece of pork ribs, thinking that China is not much better now. When he made suggestions to Ping Taizong, the development of the rural economy and the increase of agricultural production were placed before heavy industry and the military industry, and now there is a serious shortage of materials in the domestic market, but more often than not, the potential has not been brought into play. However, to develop domestic agriculture, Qi Yiming only has more useful information in the next 30 years, and the Red Police Base cannot produce breeding pigs and Chinese cabbage.

Fortunately, the results of the development of agriculture are much faster than those of heavy industry, especially now that the rural organizations are still sound, and although the production has been contracted to the households, they are still able to give play to the advantages of concentrating their efforts on doing great things. China is now building several major agricultural bases, involving grain crops, cash crops, and other different aspects, and if we do a good job in a rough estimate, we will be able to see gratifying results in two or three years.

Qi Yiming threw away the bones and secretly laughed at himself that he was worried about the country and the people about anything he watched now.

On the other hand, the foreign ministers of Wu Xuejian and Li Yuanjing pushed the cup to change the lamp, but they didn't talk about business at all, they were all about friendship. Perhaps the cultural proximity of the two countries makes it necessary for them to establish friendly relations before moving on to serious issues.

This state banquet was enjoyed by the guests and hosts, and Qi Yiming was not harassed, because no one knew his status. It's just that he always feels that there is something wrong with this, but he can't fully see what is wrong. He drank a few glasses of rice wine, lazily up and down, and returned to the hotel to rest early.

Qi Yiming looked at several hotel waiters with three points of drunkenness, they were still busy cleaning up the hotel and dealing with other things, but Qi Yiming didn't pay much attention, these waiters were always inadvertently facing the guests from China, with a few cold lights in their eyes.
