Korean TV series: King of Peninsula 1997

Chapter 485 Picking people
Li You's eyes shuttled between the files. Each line of text was the experience of a soldier's file.

The meeting room was very quiet, with only the sound of Li You flipping through files echoing in the space.

Kim Young-wei sat opposite Li You, waiting patiently for Li You's selection, his eyes revealing his confidence and pride in these members.

Of course he had confidence, because these people had been screened by him and he ensured that they were all excellent soldiers.

Watching Li You reading the files one by one with no expression on his face, Jin Yingwei wondered why he couldn't be satisfied.

Yoon Ji-woo, the secretary beside him, seemed a little indifferent. She stood next to Li You, her eyes constantly moving across the files.

However, she often looked at Li You with questioning eyes, looking for signals that Li You was making a decision.

Due to staff shortage, Yoon Ji-woo was transferred to Kinmen Security as the director, and Jeon Jae-joon was appointed as the representative by Lee Woo-seung.

This time, because the selected personnel had to be stationed on the Korean Peninsula, Li You did not ask former Marine Corps officer Zheng Zaizhong who was far away in Iraq to come back, but directly called Yoon Ji-woo.

Li You's eyes kept moving across the files one after another, and his brows frowned from time to time. It was not that he was dissatisfied, but these files were all excellent, and it was obvious that they were of selected people.

These people are the hope for the future growth of security companies.

He doesn't want to stop signing up just because someone was eliminated.

What Jin Yingwei did in this matter was not appropriate.

He should separate the outstanding people and mix in some poor soldiers, so as to ensure that Li You will also take away outstanding members to join Kinmen next time he comes.

Li You looked up at Jin Yingwei, "Do they know that their files have been handed in?"

Jin Yingwei was stunned for a moment, then thought for a while, "They are all people who signed up on their own initiative."

"That's nothing we can do," Li You frowned.

The limit on the number of people for the initial cooperation meant that he could not take away all the outstanding soldiers who signed up, so he could only select the best from the best.

Jin Yingwei looked at his expression and suddenly understood. It was not dissatisfaction, but some confusion.

Outside the conference room window, the blue ocean and the sky are connected in a line. Through the open window, sea breeze occasionally blows in with a salty smell, causing the documents in the conference room to tremble slightly.

The light in the conference room was soft, but it could not hide the seriousness on everyone's face. After all, Li You's expression was not very good at the moment.

Li You's fingers tapped lightly on the table, and each tap was selecting the most suitable candidate.

He had set the standards in his mind, but facing these people, he had to admit that the choice was difficult.

Selecting suitable personnel from these elite forces this time is not only related to the start of cooperation between Kinmen Security and the military, but also to the depth and breadth of his future cooperation with the military.

Li You began to pick out the files of the selected personnel, while Yin Zhiyou recorded them on the side.

Jin Yingwei looked at those files with some melancholy, he was also a general and had some understanding of his elite troops, some of whom could serve as reserves for special operations teams.

Of course, he would still feel a little distressed to send it away like this.

However, once these people leave the army, their treatment is indeed incomparable to that in the army.

Especially now that military spending has been further cut and soldiers' meal allowances have been reduced, he knows that the plan to cooperate with Li You is indeed beneficial to the long-term development of the troops.

After all, Kinmen Group sponsors so much money every year and also provides jobs for some retired soldiers. No matter what the ultimate goal is. Anyway, in this country where every normal man has to serve, Li You is a great philanthropist.

I don’t know how many middle-aged people lament that they didn’t catch up with Li You and the Kinmen Group when they retired.

Li You finally selected the list, "That's all." His voice was clear, and he pushed the stack over, turning to look at Yin Zhiyou, "Have you written down the list?"

"Yes, President."

Yoon Ji-woo placed the list with every name recorded on top of the file.

Jin Yingwei picked up the list and looked at the names, somewhat surprised.

Li You had not even seen them in person, but he picked out the best ones.
"The president has good vision," Jin Yingwei sighed.

"This time we are just confirming the list," Li You told him calmly, "next time, representatives from Kinmen Security will come with contracts, and then we will officially confirm these personnel."

"clear."

On April 22nd, Li Yougang had just finished a phone call with Quan Zaijun. Tomorrow, Quan Zaijun will go to the naval base with his lawyer and the contract, and he will sign the contract as the representative of Kinmen Security.

Immediately afterwards, Li Lianchang called Li You on his cell phone. Since Li Lianchang took office as president, their private contact had become much less frequent.

"Chairman Li," Li Lianchang's voice seemed to carry a hint of joy.

But the news he brought out was not good news for many people.

"There was a big accident in the north. A reporter from the United News Agency had a contact in Dandong. He was the first person in the world to report this incident."

After his explanation, Li You also understood what happened.

A serious explosion occurred at the Longchuan County railway station in the north. The reporter said the explosion was caused by a collision of trains carrying oil and natural gas.

"This may be a key event in further improving our relationship," Li Lianchang realized that his tone was a little off. He quickly adjusted his mood and sighed, "Let's wait and see how they react."

Within 24 hours after the accident, the northern government did not make any further statement on the accident except declaring a state of emergency in Longchuan area.

However, shortly after the incident, all international telephone services in Longchuan were interrupted.

Li Lianchang's secretary general pulled up pictures for Li Lianchang, who was sitting in his office chair. "From the pictures broadcast by the BBC that were taken by satellite 18 hours after the accident, we can see that the thick smoke along the railway line has not yet dissipated, which means it must have been a major accident."

“However, the North has not issued any statement. The news circulating online now is that the explosion caused about 3,000 deaths and injuries.

Now all the reporters have gathered in Dandong, which is separated from Longchuan by a river, hoping to get further information from the place closest to the scene of the incident. "

Li Lianchang was a little puzzled, but he still put his mind to it, "First, go and prepare relief supplies, including tents, food, medicine and other daily necessities."

"clear."

On April 24, the Northern government finally broke its silence.

The statement said that due to the negligence of relevant personnel, a train loaded with ammonium nitrate and a tank car were shunting at Yongcheon Railway Station in North Pyongan Province when the car bodies touched the electric wires, causing a short circuit and resulting in the explosion of the train.

So far, hundreds of people have been killed and more than 1,300 injured, but the surrounding buildings have been severely damaged.

They also said that the most needed materials for disaster relief and reconstruction are steel, cement, glass, gasoline, diesel and transportation tools.

At the same time, the United Nations Humanitarian Office also issued a communiqué stating that the northern government has formally requested the United Nations and other international organizations to provide assistance.

This is indeed an opportunity for the North and South to get better, but Li You is afraid that it will be difficult to achieve.
