Dreaming back to 1949, the great powers were there to deceive us

While Kim Yong-nam was still thinking about countermeasures, two white bodyguards came forward and twisted Park out. The latter was scared like a puddle of mud and screamed for help from Kim Yong-nam.

These white bodyguards were specially sent by Hu Zhenhua after he heard that his employees were beaten. They are foreign mercenaries of Umbrella Corporation.

Huang Bingkun felt extremely happy. No wonder the chairman sent these bodyguards over. The white people were really useful here.

Jin Yongnan was extremely anxious. If it was in a private setting, he would not care about Park Demeng's life or death. But now he was in public and had to save face, so he said,

"Mr. Moshili, is there any misunderstanding here?"

Moshili did not answer him, but said with a stern face,

"Mr. Mayor, you will definitely give me a satisfactory answer, right?"

"Great! Please wait a moment, I'll take care of it!"

Jin Yongnan turned around and shouted,

"Director Li, take Park De Meng away immediately. I want to know what happened!"

"Yes!"

Moshili's face showed some expression, and he said lightly,

"Mr. Mayor, do you mind if I send two people to sit in on the trial?"

Of course Jin Yongnan doesn't want to. If you send someone to listen in, how can I operate behind the scenes and find a scapegoat?

But now the situation is stronger than people. The South Korean government needs a lot of aid. If it offends the Americans, not to mention Park, even the mayor himself will have to resign.

"Mr. Consul, of course there is no problem. We are a democratic government and are willing to accept supervision from all sides!"

Handing the person over to the police station for questioning saved the city government a bit of face.

Moshili was very satisfied and stopped dwelling on the matter. Instead, he walked towards the reception room of the city government accompanied by Jin Yongnan.

Although South Korea is poor, the decoration of the city government is quite good, with thick red carpets, valuable furniture, exquisite porcelain, and beautiful service staff.

No matter how hard the situation is, the government must not suffer. After all, only when the leaders are in a good mood can they better lead the people to development.

As soon as both parties sat down, Chu Qiwen, the manager of Kangtai Foods, took out a document and said with a smile,

"We, Kangtai Foods, plan to invest 8000 million South Korean dollars in the next three years to build ten large-scale food factories in Seoul, Busan, Daegu, Incheon, Gwangju, Daejeon, Ulsan, Jeju Island, Jeonju, and Gyeongju. The investment in Busan is 1200 million South Korean dollars. We hope..."

Chu Qiwen suddenly remembered Moshili's suggestion, and his smiling face turned serious. He said coldly,

"Mr. Mayor, the war has been over for four years, why is the economy here still in such a mess? You have to find ways to develop the economy yourself. You can't rely on the United States for everything!"

This was quite impolite. If it happened somewhere else, the official in charge would definitely be angry, but Jin Yongnan thought it was a very normal thing. He kept smiling and did not show any anger.

"Mr. Chu speaks Korean very fluently!"

Chu Qiwen laughed and said,

"South Korea has a long and rich culture, which I admire greatly, so I put a lot of effort into the language. I'm sorry to bother you."

After hearing this, Jin Yongnan was in a good mood and his back straightened unconsciously. He nodded in agreement while flipping through the documents, and he managed to do two things at once without any delay.

The document had been translated into Korean, and the mayor had no problem reading it. Soon, Jin Yongnan finished reading and asked in confusion,

"I've looked at your company's investment plan, which involves pig farming, slaughtering, ham, candy, instant noodles, baked goods, and canned goods. Is 1200 million RMB enough?"

Chu Qiwen said with a smile,

"Investment will be gradual. Our first phase of the project is an instant noodle factory. We will test the waters first. Once we are sure of your country's investment environment, we will invest heavily."

Moshili continued with a smile,

"Activating your country's economy is in the interests of the entire free world. We fully support it!"

Jin Yongnan was overjoyed. He shook hands with Chu Qiwen again, expressed his gratitude, and talked about the friendship between the two sides.

This made the latter speechless. "Stop talking nonsense and clichés all the time. Be practical."

I hinted so clearly that I would test the waters with the instant noodle factory first. Isn't this just asking for investment incentives?

Seeing that the other party did not respond for a long time, Chu Qiwen asked directly,

"Mr. Mayor, we are here to boost your economy. I wonder what investment incentives you can offer?"

Jin Yongnan was slightly stunned, but as a politician, he reacted quickly and immediately asked,

"I wonder what investment offer Mr. Chu wants?"

This question made Chu Qiwen almost vomit blood. What do I want? I want tax exemption forever. Will you give it to me?

What other preferential policies can be offered for investment? They are nothing more than a piece of land, three connections and one leveling, and a few years of tax exemption.

Why does it feel like this mayor is completely clueless? Could it be that he's just a traditional bureaucrat?

Chu Qiwen and Huang Bingkun looked at each other, and they both saw surprise in each other's eyes. It seemed that the other party really knew nothing about attracting investment?

To verify this, Chu Qiwen said,

"According to international practice, to attract high-quality companies to invest, they generally provide free land, water, electricity and roads, and help us level the land. In terms of taxation, they give us 5-10 years of preferential treatment, and in terms of recruitment..."

Jin Yongnan's face became more and more ugly. He had to help coordinate loans and maintain public order. This was not attracting investment, it was clearly looking for a boss for himself.

If the people who proposed these "unequal conditions" were not Americans, the mayor would definitely slap them in the face.

Chu Qiwen and Huang Bingkun looked at each other again. They had already gotten the answer from the mayor's expression.

At that time, South Korea had relatively limited economic development theory and practical experience. Government officials' understanding of economic development mostly remained in the traditional agricultural and primary industrial fields. They lacked in-depth understanding and reference to successful cases for the model of promoting rapid economic development by introducing external capital and technology through investment promotion.

This is just like the county magistrates in the Qing Dynasty did not understand the Western economic model.

Moreover, the government's main focus is on consolidating its regime, stabilizing the domestic political situation, carrying out land reform, and dealing with tensions with North Korea, leaving it no time to attract investment.

Chu Qiwen and Huang Bingkun walked aside and started discussing in whispers.

No wonder the chairman repeatedly told me when I came that the factory must be built even without investment incentives, and it must be built quickly and must be put into production in March or April next year.

More than ten minutes later, the two returned again.

Kim Yong-nam's mood at this time was complicated. On the one hand, he hoped to get investment because it would not only stimulate the economy and collect taxes, but also gain the favor and strong support of allies.

On the other hand, he also hoped that Chu Qiwen would leave in anger. South Korea was a proud nation, the most outstanding in the universe. How could they bow down for a few pieces of silver?
