1627 Rise of the South China Sea

Chapter 2682
A big businessman like Zhang Fengchu is, of course, a hard stubble. Anyone who wants to trouble him probably has to weigh how much he has.Especially the golden shield guards he hired were simply the ceiling of the security force to the outside world, and they must not be easily provoked.

You get what you pay for, and the Golden Shield guards charge high fees, so the security services they provide naturally have quality assurance.At this stage, most of the members are veterans who have retired from the Haihan Army combat units. These people have rich experience, have military skills and have received special security training. Elite private armed forces are not an exaggeration.

With such a reliable security force escorting him all year round, Zhang Fengchu naturally does not need to worry too much about public security in Busan.As long as the problem can be solved by spending money, it is not a problem for him. No matter how bad the local security situation is, it is difficult to directly affect his safety.

Shi Chengwu had no choice but to put it another way: "I heard that the local Chamber of Commerce had planned to establish a security force on its own, but due to various reasons, this plan was shelved. What does President Zhang think about this?"

Listening to him repeatedly mentioning the issue of public security, Zhang Fengchu seemed to have finally tasted something, and quickly responded: "My lord, when I first proposed this plan, the villain also expressed his full support, and organized various families to discuss the plan together. Your Excellency and colleagues from the chamber of commerce present here can all testify. It’s just that when it came to the issue of the proportion of capital contribution, everyone had different opinions, and in the end they didn’t discuss a feasible plan, so it couldn’t be implemented.”

Shi Chengwu nodded and said: "For President Zhang, there are still Golden Shield guards to choose from anyway. It doesn't matter whether the self-built security is successful or not."

Zhang Fengchu heard that Shi Chengwu's tone was a bit unhappy, and quickly argued: "The villain has no such intentions! If a reliable security team can be formed, the villain will not have to hire so many people from Jindun, and can save a lot of money every year." , why not do it?"

Shi Chengwu said in a deep voice: "The law and order problem at Busan Port has affected our country's normal trade activities in this area, and now it has alarmed Fort Victory. The executive committee instructed that the problem here should be properly resolved as soon as possible. The fleet visit One of the main purposes of Busan is to deal with this."

When Shi Chengwu mentioned the executive committee, the merchants present put down their chopsticks and wine glasses one after another.These people are able to gain a foothold overseas to set up industries, so they naturally know who the real backer is behind them. Since this matter has attracted the attention of the Executive Committee, and a huge armed fleet has been sent to Busan to supervise related affairs, it seems that it is over. Determined to solve the problem here.

Seeing that all the people present had turned their attention to him, Shi Chengwu raised his voice and continued, "Everyone here today, I believe that you know more about the local public security situation than I do. If this problem is not resolved, your interests will still remain." It will be continuously damaged. Although the golden shield is good, it is limited by the conditions and cannot provide you with enough protection, so we still have to rely on self-built security forces. If you have a good plan, you may wish to take the initiative to propose it. If feasible, the mission will give support and urge its implementation.”

Shi Chengwu had already known about Fu Guoqing's plan before, and to be honest, he couldn't think of any better solution in a short time. After all, the people in the mission were far inferior to Fu Guoqing in their understanding of the local social situation. Coming up with a set of plans is likely to be unacceptable.

So after everyone discussed it, they felt that instead of starting a new one, it would be better to use Fu Guoqing's plan, solicit the opinions of the businessmen during the period, and make changes if necessary.

Fu Guoqing's earlier plan failed to win the support of the Chamber of Commerce. There are many objective reasons, but the mission believes that this is also due to his insufficient weight in the eyes of businessmen.Shi Chengwu decisively brought out the executive committee, with the purpose of putting pressure on the businessmen and promoting the implementation of the self-built security plan as soon as possible.

How effective this approach will be remains to be seen, but at least none of the businessmen present have raised their voices against it.Of course, if anyone dared to speak out against it, it would be tantamount to going against the executive committee. Smart businessmen must understand this truth, and no one would be foolish enough to make such a big mistake.

Considering the current occasion, Shi Chengwu didn't play too much on this topic, so as not to spoil the atmosphere of the banquet.Soon the topic turned to the various trade projects of the merchants in the local area. Whenever someone came to the main table to toast, Fu Guoqing and Zhang Fengchu introduced their identities and main industries to the members of the mission in a timely manner.

Most of these Haihan businessmen who did business in Busan came from coastal areas such as Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Fujian, and Shandong, and they operated a variety of industries, covering various industries.It is no exaggeration to say that the business that the mission can see in Zhoushan Dinghai Port is almost the same in Busan. It can be said that it is a standard seaport economic circle model.

Their business scope has not only covered all aspects of local people's lives, but also concerns the livelihood and future of a large number of North Koreans.In the industries they operate, more or less North Koreans are employed, and many of them also took advantage of the opportunity to work for Haihan commercial organizations to win immigration quotas and become Haihan nationals.

Haihan's daily necessities, banknotes, books, and even social systems have gradually penetrated into the lives of ordinary North Korean people through these migrant workers, subtly changing the social form here.

If the persistent problem of law and order in this area can be resolved, it is fully possible to gradually implement colonial rule in this area, just like what Haihan did in the Datong River Basin a few years ago, not only controlling the local industry, but also controlling the judiciary, finance, etc. It is not an exaggeration to say that Haihan is a colony in North Korea.

Although Haihan officials did not take the initiative to promote such colonial measures in Busan, the influx of many Haihan capital and business organizations has made this area gradually move closer to Haihan.

Near the end of the banquet, Shi Chengwu assigned an assignment to the participating Haihan businessmen, requiring them to submit written suggestions on self-built security teams to the mission within two days.Of course, the content is not limited to this. If you have other opinions, you can also attach them together. At the same time, businessmen are welcome to express their ideas in person.

"Do you think such an assignment can collect their real thoughts?" After returning to the residence after the banquet, Tao Hong asked Shi Chengwu.

Shi Chengwu said: "It doesn't really matter what their real thoughts are. I want them to realize the official's firm attitude towards this matter. They need to understand that what they should do is to make reasonable suggestions, check for omissions and make up for vacancies. Cooperate with us to make this matter more smoothly.”
