Korean TV series: King of Peninsula 1997

Chapter 266 Communication
Seoul at night is brightly lit and bustling.

Li You booked the best hotel in Seoul for them. Amy and Jack got in the car and headed to the hotel. They didn't say a word along the way, except to agree to meet after dinner.

Amy stood at the window of the hotel room, gazing into the distance, her heart churning with emotion.

Her gaze passed through the dense neon lights and fell on the staggered high-rise buildings. The Korean Peninsula seemed to be particularly fond of using colorful neon lights.

The night scene of San Francisco was also the scenery she saw. It had familiar outlines, but it was a completely different style from here.

She was thinking about something when there was a knock on the door. Amy carefully looked through the peephole and only opened the door after confirming that it was Jack.

Amy went over and opened the door, and saw Jack standing at the door with a smile on his face. Amy, who was lost in thought, came to her senses.

Jack came in from outside the room humming a little tune, "Ms. Amy, after a few hours of observation, what do you think of President Li?"

Amy quickly regained her composure, and in response to Jack's question, she simply replied calmly, "It does fit the image of a tyrant."

Unexpectedly, the answer was so simple. The room returned to silence. Jack scratched his head for a moment, "I am just a nobody, I don't have any great abilities."

He was standing at the back, Amy was still standing at the window looking out, Jack smiled, "But I will be assigned to stay here permanently in the future, Miss Amy can leave it to me if she has anything to do later."

Amy turned her head and glanced at him, "Shouldn't you FBI people hate us to the core?"

Jack didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He waved his hands repeatedly, "They are them, I am me, don't mix others with me."

"You think very clearly," Amy pouted, "Then why don't you tell me why the FBI sent you here?"

Jack coughed twice, "This is confidential."

Amy smiled, shook her head slightly, and turned to look at Seoul outside the window.

In fact, Jack had been ready to tell the truth a long time ago, but he just wanted to keep it a secret. When he saw that Amy didn't ask any more questions, he lost interest.

"Actually, I have another mission," Jack walked to Amy's side and also looked out the window, "That incident is somewhat related to this one, so I was sent here."

"It just so happens that you have taken action," he said with a smile, "and have requested cooperation from us, so let's work together."

Amy didn't think it was that simple. She just shook her head and said, "Since you plan to stay in the Korean Peninsula permanently, you will inevitably be tempted by Li You's sugar-coated bullets."

Jack replied with a smile, "That's good."

He said leisurely, "I'm familiar with this place, so I don't need to adapt to the environment. I also have someone to protect me locally, which is perfect."

Amy looked stern and silent. She looked out the window for a while, then suddenly turned around and sat on the sofa in the suite. "What do you think of Li You's proposal this afternoon?"

"What was your proposal this afternoon?" Jack said calmly, "Just because you are a smuggler, you cannot cooperate with us on an equal footing."

Jack smiled and looked at Amy, "Can you guess what our director said?"

"I still need to guess," Amy sneered, "I'm afraid 20% is just the minimum."

"20% to 50%," Jack sighed. "This is what our director meant. If he has further cooperation value, it doesn't matter if he asks for less."

"Our FBI presence on the Korean Peninsula is no different from having law enforcement authority. He will need us."

The FBI says it only has law enforcement powers within the United States, but just like the agents that appear in Japanese and Korean anime or TV dramas, they have almost the same rights in these two countries as they do in the United States.

Compared to them, the CIA is even more shady.

"Then wait a little longer," Amy narrowed her eyes, "Seeing is believing. We have to see for ourselves his influence in Seoul."

They also knew the scale of the Kinmen Group, but words could never express it clearly, and they had to see it with their own eyes to be sure.

It’s obvious that Li You wants to get in touch with their relationship this time, but the reason is still unknown.

This situation is ruled out simply because of the great power of their two forces.

Before coming to the Korean Peninsula, Amy also did some research and knew what kind of person Li You was.

Simply put, Lee You now has a huge reputation throughout the Korean Peninsula and has a profound influence on many places.

It just so happens that Li You has a huge reputation not only among the underground forces, but also in the eyes of the people of the Korean Peninsula, he is even known as a "benevolent entrepreneur". Those who know his past background are all upper-class people, and it is not surprising that such a person is also an ambitious person.

Since its establishment, the Kinmen Group has experienced rapid development, and it is impossible for such a person to not have support.

But now Li You is obviously eager to expand his power and intends to ignore his superiors.

The news that Li You was convening in Gyeonggi Province and wanted to unify the underground of Gyeonggi Province had already been reported to the United States by some Seoul officials.

As soon as they saw this, they had other ideas. It is well known that the anti-American sentiment among the people of the Korean Peninsula has been growing since the 1990s, so they have to support a force.

Officials are one thing, and this is another.

Tianxia and Daying are now too large for the two organizations to intervene, and Shunyang has become a fighting arena between Tianxia and Daying.

The Kinmen Group, which is second only to these three groups, is worthy of attention.

This made perfect sense, and once Amy had put her father and uncle in touch, she saw exactly the same idea.

At that time, she personally went back to her own estate and met with the two people who had returned from the CIA. After learning about some of Li You's demands, they all felt that it was not bad.

They were not without their guard, so they called in the FBI. They couldn't get rid of them anyway, so they might as well call them on to prevent them from doing anything bad behind the scenes.

"Retired soldiers from the US Army stationed in South Korea can work at their PMC company," Jack said with a suppressed smile, "I think this is a really good idea. Now people always think that those retired soldiers are causing trouble."

Amy nodded silently. "That's fine, but colluding with people in the base to buy and sell smuggled meat products is not fine."

"I guess he's just talking," Jack said with a smile. "He also knows that if this gets out, his reputation of not caring about right or wrong will be ruined."

"Maybe it's a way of retreating by advancing."

Amy nodded, "You know the situation here better and should be able to see further than me."

Jack sat down across from Amy and said, "Actually, I was born in California. Although I went to school for a while in middle school, I have been away from the Korean Peninsula for many years."

He smiled and said, "The last time I came here, Shunyang was still the strongest group force."

Jack was filled with emotion, but he didn't want to bother with other things. He thought for a while before speaking, "It is my mission to facilitate this cooperation, but we still have to try our best to find out more about the real situation." Amy nodded and responded, "In fact, since we came here, we have never talked about it. Li You has been leading us all the time. We have been completely guided by him."

"To be fair, I was a little bit angry at first, but he was very sincere," she said calmly, "and the result was much better than if we had investigated it ourselves."

Jack raised his eyebrows. "He is not someone who is blinded by the propaganda of the upper class in the Korean Peninsula. He is a person who can truly see the pros and cons. He is also a smart person."

Amy's expression remained unchanged. "We are short of people in the Korean Peninsula, and they can fill the gap. They can even provide us with funds for our activities. This kind of work is much better than promoting the drug business in other countries."

She knew her own affairs very well, and she didn't even care about Jack in front of her. Everyone knew about what happened in Mexico, but there was no evidence left.

"With such a ready-made partner, why bother to fall out with him and waste manpower and resources to support a new force?"

Jack smiled and said with some emotion, "So I say that President Li is both a talent and a genius."

The next morning, Li You sent someone to pick them up at the hotel. When Amy arrived at the Golden Gate Group building, she glanced at Jack with some surprise.

Jack nodded silently, and Li You walked forward enthusiastically and said a lot of polite words to the two of them.

The reporter from Xiancheng Daily who was called over nodded and bowed to Li You, "Chairman Nim, shall we start now?"

Li You nodded slightly, "Miss Amy, would you like to take a photo with our people from Kinmen, from your San Francisco government delegation?"

Amy was slightly startled. The Americans behind her didn't have any objections, but Jack quietly walked aside due to the nature of his job.

Amy had a public identity and knew that Li You's move was to promote the relationship between the two sides. She simply smiled, nodded slightly, and signaled the members of the inspection team to gather together.

After taking the photo, Li You waved his hand and the photographer quickly left.

The original plan was to accompany these Americans to visit the building today, but surprisingly, Amy and Jack did not go to visit at all. They just saw the actual situation of the building from the outside and had already made up their minds.

Especially since the hotel they stayed in was in Jiangnan, and when they came this morning they also passed by the Kinmen Real Estate Building and the Xiancheng Daily Building.

The other members of the inspection group were led to visit other floors of the Golden Gate Group building, while Amy and Jack went to the president's office with Li You and sat down.

Li You smiled slightly, "Did you two have a good rest last night?"

"Not bad," Jack winked at him, "It's my habit anyway."

Amy narrowed her eyes, "Of course I have no problem with that."

"We had an in-depth discussion last night. Judging from the situation in Incheon and Seoul, Mr. Li's strength has been proven and he is indeed qualified to have in-depth cooperation with our two companies."

"Seoul Kinmen Group is Mr. Lee's foundation. Although it is not as strong as Tianxia Group, Daying Group, and Shunyang Group, its strength is unquestionable."

Li You could also understand what she said. After all, this so-called inspection team was inspecting his, Li You's, strength.

In fact, he guessed that there should be a few CIA people in the inspection team. After all, the background of Amy in front of him was already very obvious, and it was reasonable for the director's daughter to be protected a little, but more importantly, those people had to do more specific work.

What they want to discuss with me must not be a simple cooperation, otherwise they would have started talking a long time ago.

Just talking about the smuggling business, the FBI and the CIA have done more than Li You and have more experience.

This cooperation requires both of them to carefully examine and study it, and even requires further reporting to their superiors. It cannot be decided hastily in a short period of time. It must be not simple.

"It's true that we can't compete in business," Li You smiled, "but you have to ask the underground in Seoul and even Gyeonggi Province, who do they listen to."

Amy nodded calmly and replied, "Of course we know that."

Seeing that the atmosphere was getting heavy, Jack smiled and said, "Chairman Lee holds a high position on the Korean Peninsula. Personally, I certainly hope to become friends with him."

Li You's eyes gleamed, "I'll wait for you to leave the FBI later."

"President Li," Jack said with a wry smile, "It's too early for this."

The two looked at each other and fell silent. Li You waved his hand nonchalantly, "Let's talk about it later."

Amy found that the atmosphere here quickly became relaxed. She joked, "Jack is a famous playboy in the FBI. What's his nickname?"

"The FBI has its own 007?"

The 007 movie series she mentioned is also a long-lasting large-scale IP, and one was released just last year.

The plot of each movie is different, but there is always a James Bond beauty.

Jack obviously doesn't have the thick skin of James Bond in the movie. When he was teased, he still smiled awkwardly and said, "I'm different from him. Mine is pure love."

"They are not villains."

"Ms. Amy," Li You raised his eyebrows, "Speaking of you and James..."

Amy's eyebrows stood up when she mentioned her ex-boyfriend. "When I was in college, James was still..."

She thought for a moment and said, "You should know the movie Titanic which was released in 1997?"

She looked at the two of them, observing their expressions, "When they were in college, James and Leonardo were comparable."

Li You coughed, "Are you sure?"

Jack was a little confused. He had never seen James before, so he could only smile blankly, "What about him now?"

"He's a savage now," Amy rolled her eyes. "I really want someone to catch him and bring him to the police station so that he can be punished."

Li You's mouth curled up slightly, and he couldn't help but think of Leonardo more than ten years later, who also slowly became wild like James.

"He and I started talking about getting married the year before last," Amy said coldly, "On the condition that he change back to normal. He spends all day on his research and becomes like that."

"If I weren't here, would he still be able to study his things so calmly?"

Amy didn't say anything else, and Li You and Jack roughly understood the situation.

Amy looked at Li You, "Mr. Li is his boss now, go back and supervise him."

"Understood," Li You laughed, "I'll tell him."
