Korean TV series: King of Peninsula 1997

Chapter 327 From the Millennium to 2001
"Fellow citizens of the Republic of Korea, we are now broadcasting the Nobel Peace Prize award ceremony for you," the TV host said, as the screen behind him was showing the live broadcast of the Nobel Peace Prize award ceremony currently being held in Norway.

"In October, the public must have known that President Kim Min-jung had been nominated, and today is the official award ceremony."

Although many powerful people knew that Kim Min-jung would be the winner of this award, the people were obviously not aware of it.

Many people on the Korean Peninsula watching TV are looking forward to it.

In front of the camera, ladies in evening gowns and men in suits have solemnity and expectation on their faces.

As the award presenters were slowly announced, Kim Min-jung's name rang out in the silence, breaking the tranquility of the venue.

Inside the venue, there was thunderous applause, and the huge crowd expressed their respect for the winners in the warmest way.

The photographer's camera shuttled through the crowd, capturing smiling faces.

In the streets and alleys of Seoul, even ordinary people stop in front of the TV.

"I really got it. You are worthy of being President Kim."

"Our Korean democracy is Kim Min-jung! The Mandela of Asia!"

Secretary-General Quan, who was standing at the podium, was deeply moved and said that Kim Min-jung was indeed a president with a big vision.

This can even be seen from his position as Secretary General.

His uncle, General Quan, had dealt with Jin Minzhong many times in the past and was almost killed by Jin Minzhong.

When Kim Min-jung walked down the podium with a big smile on his face, thanking all parties, Secretary-General Jeon stepped forward and supported Kim Min-jung, "Congratulations, President Nim."

Jin Minzhong patted him on the shoulder and said, "It is also thanks to Secretary-General Quan's sincere help."

Secretary-General Jeon smiled and said, "I believe the people are eagerly waiting for President Nim's return and the whole nation will celebrate together."

Obviously, Jin Minzhong was very impressed by this. He walked with Secretary-General Quan with a smile and greeted the reporters over there, "Let's go to accept the TV station's report first."

In Seoul, Li You turned off the TV and refocused his eyes on the text on the panel.

[The plot of "Signal" has ended]

[Plot Mission: The Beginning and End of Everything (Completed)]

[Mission Objective 1: Assist Li Caihan, who is active in this time and space, to solve the kidnapping case of Jin Yunzhen.

Mission objective two: Prevent Li Caihan from dying.

Mission Objective Three: Solve the case of Li Caihan’s disappearance.

Tip: All mission objectives have been completed and rewards can be collected.

Mission Reward: Walkie-talkie*1]

"It is indeed a walkie-talkie." Li You looked at the walkie-talkie placed on the desk without even batteries, and felt a little emotional.

He studied Li Caihan's walkie-talkie, but it was never triggered again. Perhaps the walkie-talkie could only be used by Li Caihan at certain special moments.

I don't know what function this one has.

Li You was not in a hurry to use it, but called Jeon Jae-joon instead.

"Chairman," Jeon Jae-joon answered the phone.

"Li Caihan, who was released earlier," Li You instructed, "what has he been doing recently?"

Jeon Jae-jun shook his head. "I've always been on time for get off work. Maybe I went out to eat with An Zhishou a few days ago."

"Not busy investigating the case?"

"No," Quan Zaijun said confidently, "He is now doing the work of an ordinary police officer, investigating some petty thefts."

Li You nodded, "Then just remove the surveillance on him. There's no need to continue."

Quan Zaijun agreed, and Li You spoke again, "There is one more thing. I asked you to pick someone to receive FBI agent training. Have you picked the person?"

"I've chosen it," Quan Zaijun nodded, "I'm ready to follow your arrangements at any time."

Li You shifted his gaze to the panel again, and the task of another person on it had also been completed.

[The plot of "Top Secret Pursuit" has not yet been carried out. 】

[Story Mission: The Origin of the Surveillance Class (Completed)]

[Mission Objective: Assisted FBI agent Jack to complete the construction of the surveillance team.

Mission reward: Yellow entry 'Anti-tracking']

"You can contact him today," Li You told Quan Zaijun, "You should have his number last time."

[Anti-tracking: You can easily detect tracking against you]

In December, the weather was already quite cool, and the wind was howling at night.

"Chairman Li," Secretary-General Quan clinked his glasses with Li You, "I've been busy going out with President Kim recently, and haven't had time to sit down and eat with you."

Li You smiled and said, "Secretary-General Quan, you are too polite."

Both of them brought their families to the dinner. Li You brought Mou Xianmin, and Secretary-General Quan brought his wife. His daughter is 19 years old and is currently studying in the UK.

As soon as the two of them showed signs of wanting to talk about something, Mou Xianmin and his wife went out together.

"President Li's business is booming, but I wonder if he plans to continue expanding it soon?"

Li You was a little surprised to hear Secretary-General Quan ask this. He looked at Secretary-General Quan and asked, "Why did Secretary-General Quan ask this?"

"I always feel that President Li will not accept An Jing's development so easily," Secretary-General Quan took a sip of wine, "Heroes emerge in troubled times, this saying is true."

Li You laughed silently, "Secretary-General Quan is really good at judging people."

"I do want to continue expanding," Li You nodded, "but I'm not sure in which direction to expand. Why don't you ask the Secretary-General for some advice?"

Secretary-General Quan fell silent for a moment, and then he spoke slowly after a while, "I heard that Chairman Li's only ally outside of Gyeonggi Province is Zhang Dongxiu from Cheonan City?"

"It's him."

"Then Asan City is a good choice," Secretary-General Quan thought, "It's next to Cheonan City."

"Yashan." Li You was a little surprised. "The location is good, but is there anything worth paying attention to?"

“Asan is named after the Asan Bay,” Secretary-General Jeon explained slowly. “It is located right in the center of the west coast of the Korean Peninsula.”

"It is also a famous hot spring city in the Republic of Korea," Secretary-General Quan looked at Li You, "Chairman Li has done such a big project in Jeju Island before. It should be obvious that Asan may be able to develop into a coastal eco-tourism and leisure city in the future with its unique geographical environment."

Li You listened to his words and thought about it. "President Kim has been promoting entertainment policies, but he also supports tourism. Or the two are inseparable."

Secretary-General Jeon praised, “Just like Chairman Lee’s project on Jeju Island, using entertainment to promote tourism is almost the same as President Kim’s idea.”

"What's more," Secretary-General Quan smiled, "Pyeongtaek Port near Asan is the Korean port closest to the east coast of China."

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye it is February of 2001.

Ding Qing rushed into the office in a hurry, "I've found it!"

Li You raised his eyebrows, looked away from the documents in front of him, and looked at Ding Qing, "What's settled?"

"I told you before," Ding Qing piled several pictures and maps on the table, "You don't need to show up to buy those arms, but you still need to determine the geographical location of the base."

Li You took the picture on the table, which was a topographic map of some abandoned factories.

"I have inspected all of these places." Ding Qing was indeed a little tanned. He scratched his head and went to get a glass of water. "They are all in good locations. They must be very useful for building a safe base."

Li You finished looking at the photos and put them together, "When?"

"I suggest you wait a month or two before going there," Ding Qing thought for a moment, "the workers there are cheap and very hardworking, so there's no need to rush the construction."

"Okay," Li You nodded, "Let's listen to our Director Ding."

"You..." Ding Qing looked at Li You speechlessly, "I am the president of Kinmen Trading, and I asked you to use my secretary to do this."

"Based on your previous style, the people below might think that Zi Chengcai is the president of Kinmen Trading."

"Alright, alright," Ding Qing's mouth twitched, "Stop mocking me for not working. I'm working for you."

"I leave everything to you," Li You put his hands behind his head, "I wouldn't trust anyone else."

"No, buddy," Ding Qing's eyes widened, "I traveled around Africa for several months to find this piece of land! I got tanned!"

Li You had already looked at him when he came in, and he had indeed become a lot darker.

"I know," Li You laughed, "Stay a little longer. You're already tanned. It's better for men to be tanned, it's healthier."

"You're talking nonsense," Ding Qing rolled his eyes, "It's easier to work if you get tanned, right?"

Although he said he was not happy about it, Ding Qing finally agreed. "That small country doesn't attach much importance to land ownership, but it's impossible for them to sell so much. I'll go and discuss with you to see what the maximum area we can take is. You just need to pay for it."

Seeing that Li You was about to tease him again, Ding Qing quickly spoke again, "There is another thing. Last time you said that you wanted to increase the intensity of the smuggling business and get tobacco..."

"I did some research," Ding Qing said, "Do you know which country has the highest male smoking rate in the world?"

Li You shook his head. He had no idea about this.

"It's Vietnam," Ding Qing smiled. "In Vietnam, smoking is a sign of manliness and an indispensable part of social interaction and business."

"Think about it, when the relationship is not good." Ding Qing pinched his fingers, "give the buddies around you a cigarette to smoke, won't the relationship improve immediately?"

"This is the best way to lubricate the relationship," Ding Qing took another sip of water.

"This country is located in Southeast Asia, so its tobacco industry has a certain foundation and advantages. They are also a partner of the giant tobacco company next door."

"But this is not the most important thing," Ding Qing said. "The most important thing is that Vietnam's tobacco industry started earlier, and now has a relatively complete industrial chain and mature production technology. The tobacco planting environment is also very good, and the tobacco leaves grown are all top-quality tobacco leaves."

"Have you asked?" Li You raised his eyebrows.

"I did ask," Ding Qing shrugged, "but the government there is not very friendly. They do not allow foreign capital to establish a wholly-owned tobacco company there. They only allow the establishment of OEM factories."

"The profit from formal business is not that much," Ding Qing said with a smile, "but if it's smuggling, the profit is huge."

"The labor there is not valuable in the first place," Li You said, looking at him, "and the production efficiency of the foundry is quite good."

"That's right," Ding Qing clapped his hands. "Using black factories to entrust them with processing and giving them production tasks can also reduce our costs and get the work done faster. It's a win-win situation!"

"Vietnam." Li You narrowed his eyes and nodded, "I see. I will pay attention to that place during this period. You should first take care of the security base."

"No problem," Ding Qing gestured and then left leisurely.

After Ding Qing left, Li You looked at the panel with some surprise. He didn't know if it was a coincidence or something, but there was indeed a mission about Vietnam on the panel.

[The plot of "Criminal City 2" is in progress. 】

[Plot Mission: The Murderer]

[Criminal: After raiding the Garibong Cave, Ma Seok-do came to the Geumcheon Criminal Police Team.

They found that many prisoners fled to various countries in Southeast Asia, with the largest proportion going to Vietnam.

While heading to Vietnam to extradite a suspect who had escaped, Ma Xidao and his team leader and partner Quan Riwan discovered that the suspect in the local area was very suspicious.

After the two people's investigation, they learned that there was a vicious and brutal mastermind behind the suspect, who was a wanted criminal named Jiang Haisang who fled from South Korea to Southeast Asia and committed crimes.

Ma Xidao and the Geumcheon Detective Team traveled between South Korea and Vietnam to hunt down Jiang Haisang.

Kang Hae-sang was in Vietnam, kidnapping Korean tourists, demanding high ransoms and then killing the hostages, including a wealthy young Korean named Choi Young-ki.

Cui Yongji's father, Cui Chunbai, has business cooperation with Vietnam. In the future, because of his son's death, he hired a killer to kill Jiang Haishang and get the ransom.

But not only did he not get the money back, he was also attacked by Jiang Haisang who had smuggled back to South Korea.

Mission objective: Kill Jiang Haishang and ensure Cui Chunbai's survival.

Mission reward: Green entry*1]

This mission was told to Li You through the intercom in January this year. Yes, it was the intercom.

After two months of exploration, Li You roughly understood the function of this walkie-talkie rewarded by the system.

When a triggerable plot appears within a certain range, the light on the walkie-talkie will light up, and as long as Li You presses the button, it will report the name and location of the characters in the plot.

Although the voice belonged to Li You, Li You was sure that it was just a machine voice and not his future self.

Li You also tried to ask someone to press the button, but everyone else just thought it was an abandoned walkie-talkie.

Moreover, it does not only trigger the current task, but also the past and future plots, and even many strange tasks appear.

In fact, in Li You's opinion, this was clearly a reward for a task collector, which was quite different from the superpower walkie-talkie that Li You had in mind.

This mission in "Criminal City 2" is considered a very common mission.

However, he roughly looked through the task list and found that there were quite a few with special rewards.
