Chapter 455

I returned to the hotel and talked about what had happened at the banquet hall.

Then Eli said with tears in her eyes.

“I like Pyongyang naengmyeon, too. Is it delicious to eat alone?”

“… … Was that important?”

“just joke. But why did you do that? Wasn’t Jinhoo in favor of inter-Korean economic cooperation?”

“It is.”

Regardless of ideology, no one among the people would want war to happen. And economic cooperation is the best way to lead North Korea to openness.

If you get your money right, you won’t even think about launching a nuclear missile.

“I just don’t like the attitude.”

In capitalism, those who have money are wealthy. That’s why even President Ronald goes to meet foreign business people to attract investment.

But North Korea is different. It was as if we were giving you an opportunity to invest.

Not only this time, North Korea has always shown an attitude that they have nothing to regret in various negotiations.

It’s not the first time I’ve unilaterally canceled a negotiation right before negotiating, or kicked out the negotiating room by making a small rant.

“In a negotiation, the one who regrets loses. It’s better to tell someone what to say rather than being dragged around from the start.”

It is a burden for the government to do so. The same goes for other entrepreneurs. So that’s what I said.

“Is this a good cop, bad cop strategy?”

I laughed out loud at Ellie’s words.

“Not to that extent, but you also need to know that there are people who don’t go the way you want them to.”

A high-level delegation has been dispatched here, but there is no intention of returning empty-handed. You just have to go back and look for the next opportunity.

“What I regret now is North Korea, not South Korea. If you are sad, we will take care of you and arrange a seat again.”

In any country, for economic development, it is necessary to buy technology and production facilities from abroad, and to do that, foreign currency… … In other words, you need dollars.

So while North Korea criticizes the United States so much, it actually likes American money so much.

North Korea has been earning foreign currency by selling resources, sending workers overseas, selling third world weapons and technology, and selling drugs (?). It is also an open secret that they print counterfeit $100 bills. It is said that there is a separate country for making counterfeits for this purpose.

There are only one or two people who make counterfeit bills, but North Korea is the only country in the world that does this at the national level. Because it is so sophisticated that it is impossible to distinguish it with the naked eye or even a machine, it is called a super note.

North Korea laundered and remitted the super note taken through the Banco Delta Asian Bank (BDA) in Macau. The US Treasury noticed this and froze the North Korean assets of the BDA. This made it difficult to distribute counterfeit money.

As the international community joined the sanctions against North Korea, the sale of weapons and technology to the third world, as well as the sale of resources and labor force, was restricted.

Currently, China is the only country that does business with North Korea. But if there is only one place to buy resources or manpower, the price will inevitably fall.

So he must have pulled out the economic cooperation card again.

After examining the number of cases, Ellie grinned.

“The Korean government should thank Jinhoo.”

“It didn’t seem like much. But what are you doing?”

First to come back and wash, Ellie was sitting in front of her laptop, wearing her robe and her glasses.

“Of course I am working. She has to write a report and send it to me.”

I didn’t really come here just to play, so I had to write a meticulous report on the trends and atmosphere of the forum and the impact of the joint statement to be announced on the global economy and send it to the branch manager.

These data will be of great help in making investment decisions for Golden Gate in the future.

Seeing him working hard wearing black horn-rimmed glasses for the first time in a while, I felt another charm. It’s a face I see every day, but it’s really pretty.

As I slipped and hugged her from behind, Ellie shook her head.

“No. I’m not done yet.”

“How much is left?”

“About two hours.”

“Does it take that much?”

“So until then, don’t disturb me and just play alone.

I flopped down on the bed.

“I came here after a lot of swearing, and my heart aches. It’s a time when you need someone’s comfort. I feel so lonely today.”

Ellie, who pretended not to hear, covered her laptop as if she couldn’t help it as I continued to whine.

“I see. It’s only an hour. Then you can’t interfere.”

“really?

Ellie was about to take her glasses off, so I said everything hastily.

“I’m just wearing glasses.”

“why? I am not going to work.”

“I think it suits you well today.”

At my words, she smiled as if it was nonsense.

“what? Do you like this?”

Ellie lay next to me and hugged me. At that moment, the phone suddenly rang. Someone did it and saw that it was Taek-gyu.

I didn’t get it because it bothered me. Then immediately the phone rang again.



Why is this nigga calling at this time?

“Come on and take it.”

I was forced to answer the phone. Then an urgent voice came from over her cell phone.

[Hey! Did you watch Chosun Central TV?]

“Huh?”

[what? You mean you haven’t watched Chosun Central TV yet?]

I was dumbfounded and asked.

“No, you have to see it, right?”

Anyone who hears it would know that it is a channel they usually watch.

Taek-gyu said in an excited voice.

[Huh. The People’s Hero Anchor just cursed you as a ‘bastard in the world’!]

“… … .”

* * *

The fact that President Huh Chang-min and Kang Jin-hoo were having a dinner with the North Korean delegation at the Asian Economic Forum and that they would hold talks in the future made headlines.

This is the first inter-Korean summit since the North Korea-U.S. negotiations went awry. As a result, the eyes of the world were focused on Vladivostok.

Various reactions poured out on the Internet.

-Wow! What will happen if capital enters North Korea after the earthquake?

-Isn’t it SimCity in North Korea?

– I’d like to win a North Korean coin cake. I should buy North Korean stocks right now.

-Woah, how do you buy North Korean stocks?

– You say you live in a North Korean theme.

-If the railroad is connected through North Korea, it will be really great. You can also travel to Europe by train.

– Just get on the plane. Airplanes are cheaper and faster.

– Even if it is travel, freight transportation is cost-effective and speedy. Now imagine that what you send to Europe by ship, you send it by rail.

– Aside from that, even if the military tension is lowered, it is a gain for Korea. When the thug who lives next door becomes quiet, house prices tend to rise.

– Unification Gaza!

While there were positive responses, there were also negative responses.

-what the. I thought he was going to take care of the economy because the president participated in the economic forum, but it was because of North Korea.

– In case someone is not the left-wing government, he sucked North Korea’s asshole and fell asleep.

– I’ll spread it again.

– A government that helps people develop nuclear weapons with taxes.

-Come on the left! Did you lose your mind even after being hit in the back like that?

-Sigh! How long does this country have to be dragged around by rednecks?

– Stop taking care of North Korea and take care of the people!

Several conservative groups and Dr. Mo and others united in a large-scale demonstration. Hundreds of thousands of protesters gathered in Gwanghwamun.

Members of the Liberal People’s Party were also present here. While hundreds of thousands of people gathered and the Taegeukgi and the Stars and Stripes were waving, CEO Yeon Na-kyung grabbed the microphone and shouted.

“This government’s policy toward North Korea is a wrong policy that ignores the people and only supports North Korea. Now we must stop the train of hypocrisy, incompetence and dictatorship. The evil on the left must end! This government that neglects the people’s livelihood and only looks at North Korea! It’s too much!”

Protesters chanted slogans in unison.

“Stop spreading North Korea!”

“Stop! Stop!”

“I oppose inter-Korean economic cooperation!”

“I am against it! I oppose it!” “Hur Chang-min should quit!”

“Ha ha! Hayahara!”

“Arrest the North Korean redneck Kang Jin-hoo!”

“Arrest! Arrest!”

It’s been a long time since we’ve all felt like we’ve all been united, but a completely unexpected article poured in as breaking news.

[(Breaking News) Jinhu Kang, we cannot trust North Korea in inter-Korean economic cooperation!][Chairman Kim’s guarantee is required for investment in North Korea][All North Korean delegations leave the banquet due to Kang Jin-hoo’s talk of supreme dignity][North Korean representative considers withdrawal of forum participants][There will be no negotiations with South Korea in the future without Lee Hae-ryong, Vice Chairman Kang Jin-hoo’s apology]

Not long after the dinner party broke the news, Chosun Central TV News called out an elderly female anchor wearing a pink hanbok with her eyes wide open.

“… … I realized once again that the South Korean factions are nothing more than a collection of unscrupulous, cunning, and vicious capitalist evils! Kang Jin-hoo, the bastard of the world, should get down on his knees in front of the people of our republic who are trembling in astonishment and anger and ask for forgiveness!”

The scene went viral all over the world in an instant through the media, and the internet was taken by surprise.

– Hahaha, the twins of heaven.

– Hearing it through upbringing, it’s funny~

– Your Excellency and the Chairman, we all agree on a short notice!

– It was a spirited and penetrating voice that penetrated the hearts of the people.

– Haha I’m crazy again after Kang Jin. Didn’t you destroy inter-Korean relations by discussing the highest dignity in the president’s seat?

– Who is it? Who called Kang Jin-hoo a redneck?

– My grandfather, who used to curse at home every day for being a gangster after a strong earthquake, was genuinely embarrassed^^

-By the way, what do you do with the people who are swearing at Gwanghwamun as red gangsters after the earthquake?

– Hahaha, what the hell.

The Gwanghwamun protesters fell into extreme chaos.

Contrary to their united appearance before, everyone murmured as they read the article on their smartphones.

“What, what, what is this? Wasn’t this guy a redneck?”

“Why is Jinhoo Kang chasing the rednecks?”

“No, why are you doing this to each other?”

“Wait, wasn’t this guy a redneck?”

“Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo loud! Jinhoo Kang is a spy!”

The person standing at the podium said that Chairman Dr. Mo was bewildered.

“everyone! Don’t be fooled! He must have other intentions!”

“What do you mean?”

“Even after a strong earthquake, don’t you think this was a good thing?”

“Is it possible that you’re working with rednecks and acting?”

he shouted quickly.

“No, that’s right! That’s it! Don’t be fooled by Kang Jin-hoo’s slash-and-burn tactics!”(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

In the meantime, A-Tubes, who had criticized Kang Jin-hoo as a pro-North Korean gangster, were also bewildered and uttered all kinds of nonsense.

* * *

The North Korean side threatened to immediately withdraw all participants from the forum and return to North Korea.

At the disapproval of Unification Minister Yoon Je-hoon, Vice Chairman Ri Hae-ryong said with anger.

“The entire republic is outraged by President Kang’s remarks. If you do not apologize directly, I will make it clear that there will be no negotiations with South Korea in the future!”

The idea was to get the Korean government to push back and get Kang Jin-hoo’s apology. However, the party did not pretend to have heard.

To the reporters’ questions about this, Kang Jin-hoo gave a short answer.

“Is it so difficult for the head of state to make promises so that investment attraction and economic cooperation can proceed well? Wouldn’t it be difficult for foreign capital to invest in this way?”

To North Korea, which emphasizes ‘between our people’ in inter-Korean economic cooperation, it was a tone that made it clear that South Korea’s investment was ‘foreign capital’.

North Korea unilaterally informed the South Korean government that it would completely exclude South Korea from the Rajin-Hasan project and cooperate only with China and Russia.

This type of tug-of-war diplomacy is familiar to North Korea.


In the case of other countries, if the investment goes wrong, the government will be criticized by the opposition and the people, but in North Korea, where everyone lives happily (?) under the supreme dignity, there is no need to worry about that.

By the way… … .

Contrary to what the North Koreans expected, things started to go a little strange.

As soon as it became known that Jin-hoo Kang was negative about inter-Korean economic cooperation, Russian and Chinese companies all at once reviewed the risks of investment in North Korea.

“If you see Kang Jin-hoo doing that, isn’t economic cooperation with North Korea difficult?”

“If you look at the cases of Mt. Kumgang tourism and special economic zones, the risk is not great.

“If you see OTK Company stepping out, wouldn’t it be that you got some other source?”

“North Korea is pretending to be working on this project, and it looks like they have a different plan.”

“lets think. If it’s a job that makes money, there’s no way Kang Jin-hoo wouldn’t jump in.”

South Korea’s politicians were also cautious about the reaction of public opinion.

If the negotiations go wrong or problems arise during the course of the negotiations due to Kang Jin-hoo’s remarks, he may be criticized for pursuing the project without safety devices. In addition, it was the same for Korean companies to review their investments.

Therefore, despite the president’s will to improve inter-Korean relations, it was difficult to move forward with enthusiasm.

In this situation, President Ronald tweeted as if fanning a house on fire.

[Jinhoo Kang acted very wisely. The best negotiating strategy in negotiating with those who don’t keep their promises is not to negotiate. So I didn’t shake hands with Chairman Kim. If North Korea had kept its promise, the North Korea-U.S. negotiations would have taken place sooner.]

Only then did Vice Chairman Ri Hae-ryong realize that he had underestimated Kang Jin-hoo.

Kang Jin-hoo’s prestige was much greater than North Korea had thought.

No wonder he has had tremendous success in all his investments so far. The money he earned is equivalent to Korea’s GDP.

Had he been a North Korean, there would have been no need for North Korea to seek investment (of course, if he did, he would have been executed or sent to a political prison camp before he had made all the money).

It has already been difficult to attract investment due to all kinds of sanctions, but when even the existing trading companies showed signs of reconsidering their investments or withdrawing from them, they were just amazed.

There were voices of criticism from the North Korean leadership against the negotiating team.

Hearing harsh rebukes from the supreme leader whom he respected over the phone, Vice Chairman Ri Hae-ryong shouted in anger as soon as the call ended.

“Jinhoo Kang! You bastard, you bastard recoil!”
