Korean TV series: King of Peninsula 1997

Chapter 493 All Affairs

When Li You came out, there were some people inside dealing with the bodies.

"Come with me to a banquet," Li You instructed Quan Zaijun, "There are still many people here who have never seen you. I have to let them get to know you."

"Let's get to know each other." Jeon Jae-jun grinned, "I see, President-nim."

Li You grabbed Jun Ji-hyun's arm outside and pulled her to his side. The bloody smell on her body had not dissipated yet. "Come with me to this grand banquet."

In the sunshine, the steps of Jeju Island City Hall were filled with a solemn and tense atmosphere.

The red carpet for the luncheon had already been rolled out, and there were even a lot of ribbons and balloons to embellish this solemn occasion.

Led by Mayor Jiang Yuanchang, these officials were dressed in formal attire and waited outside the door with serious expressions.

Their eyes were fixed on the distance at the same time, waiting for Li You to arrive.

They also heard about what happened last night. They heard that all the people in Jeju Island who had connections with the entertainment company had been captured by Wang Longda and his men, and they might be dead and unburied now.

There were several fewer people at this luncheon than at the last dinner.

They were waiting under the scorching sun, with the Jeju City Hall behind them being burned hot by the scorching sun of Jeju Island.

When the motorcade finally came into sight, it was a long row of black cars. As the cars slowly approached, a look of relief appeared on the officials' faces. They quickly wiped the sweat off their face and followed the crowd to greet them.

As the convoy stopped and the Kinmen security personnel got off the vehicles first, the originally solemn and quiet atmosphere suddenly changed.

They were relatively close to these people and could smell the blood on many of them.

After the wind blew, the officials present all frowned.

The security guard's face was calm, and there was no emotion in his eyes.

They quickly spread out, forming a barrier to protect the opening of the rear door.

Jeon Jae-joon opened the car door, Lee Woo stepped out first, and then led Jeon Ji-hyun out of the car.

Many people complained in their hearts that they had such a good life that after their previous employer fell, they climbed up a new tree.

However, some sharp-eyed people discovered something wrong with Li You and the people from the Kinmen Group.

Some of the security guards' suits were stained with barely noticeable blood, which brought with it a bloody smell.

The tall and thin young man next to Li You is particularly eye-catching.

"Jaejun," Li You patted Jeon Jaejun, "Why don't you say hello to everyone?"

"Yes, President Nim."

Li You didn't even say hello, but instead let the young man come first. Many officials began to discuss this.

But after they started shaking hands, they quickly managed their eyes.

Jeon Jae-joon's suit was loose. He did not hurriedly button it up like the others, but left it open, revealing the white shirt underneath.

The bloodstains on the white shirt were shocking, as if it had just experienced something.

The officials exchanged puzzled glances with each other, secretly speculating on this sudden change.

Their eyes exchanged uneasy messages, but they had to pretend to be calm and stretched out their hands to greet Li You behind them.

Jun Ji-hyun hugged Li You's shoulders and was almost led away by Li You.

Li You shook hands with these officials with a smile on his face, and he was fully aware of the atmosphere in front of him.

The wind from Jeju Island blew across everyone's face, and the sun shone on their foreheads. After Li You and Quan Zaijun passed by, a strange silence filled the air. The joy of the banquet and the solemnity of welcoming the guests were replaced by sudden tension at this moment.

However, the banquet went smoothly. When Jiang Yuanchang came over, Li You looked up and glanced at him.

"Mayor Jiang is here?"

"Chairman Li," Jiang Changyuan said with a smile.

Li You patted Jun Ji-hyun beside him and signaled her to be alone for a while.

He looked at Jiang Changyuan calmly as he sat down, "Mayor Jiang, do you have a lot of questions?"

"Yes, there are some," Jiang Changyuan also hinted to Li You when Li You first came, saying that there were some disobedient officials, but he didn't expect Li You to do it so directly.

How can you kidnap and kill him directly?
"I suggest that Mayor Jiang should not ask some questions," Li You said lightly, "if Mayor Jiang thinks we are friends."

Jiang Changyuan opened his mouth and was silent for a while before speaking again.

"Then tell me about my story," Jiang Changyuan nodded.

"Mayor Jiang, please wait a moment," Li You waved his hand. Quan Zaijun, who had just finished a phone call, walked over quickly, "President."

"How is things in Seoul?" Li You did not hide anything in front of Jiang Changyuan.

Jeon Jae-joon didn't even look at Kang Chang-won, "None of the artists in this company want to be banned. All of them have agreed to transfer their management contracts to Golden Gate Entertainment."

"It's already going on now," Jeon Jae-jun didn't really know much about entertainment companies, but he just repeated the information he had just received, "In addition, the production department of this company has also been poached by Golden Gate Entertainment."

"There was also an internal report, and now the prosecutors and police have issued wanted notices for Zheng Xuntuo and the other two."

"Has the person been caught?"

Quan Zaijun glanced at Jiang Changyuan with a cold look, "They didn't catch him."

Jiang Changyuan quickly looked away and had some idea of ​​where the bloodstains on Quan Zaijun's body came from.

Li You smiled and patted Quan Zaijun, "Mayor Jiang is here, you should also communicate with Mayor Jiang, maybe you will have dealings with him in the future."

They had just briefly greeted each other, but Li You's words
Jiang Changyuan's eyes twitched, and he shook hands with Quan Zaijun with a smile, "Representative Quan."

"Mayor Jiang, if you have any security needs in the future, you can contact us at Kinmen Security," Quan Zaijun said without a smile on his face.

"sure."

Only then did Li You let Quan Jae-jun leave, and Jiang Changyuan smiled and poured Li You a glass of wine.

“Don’t mind, Mayor Jiang,” Li You picked up the wine glass, “Jaejun is just like that.”

Jiang Changyuan smiled and nodded, "I've heard of the name of Quan Representative for a long time. After meeting him today, I can see that he is indeed a great helper to the president."

Li You waved his hand. "He's just a rough guy. He didn't even finish high school. He just chose the right path for himself, just like Mayor Jiang is doing now."

Jiang Changyuan took a sip of wine and nodded slightly.

Li You leaned against the sofa and said, "I always think that those who can help me develop and make money with the Kinmen Group are the best." He smiled and pointed at Jiang Changyuan, "It would be great if there were more officials like Mayor Jiang."

Jiang Changyuan laughed, "President, you are too kind. I am just doing my job."

"That's part of my job," Li You raised his eyebrows, "Mayor Jiang should get extra points then."

"Mayor Jiang is such an excellent and pragmatic official. He should make further progress. Do you feel wronged for staying in Jeju Island all the time?"

Jiang Changyuan smiled but said nothing. He knew what Li You meant. It was just that the mayoral election had just passed and he had been successfully re-elected. Not to mention that the situation in Jeju Island was getting better and better. There was no need for him to go anywhere else except Busan and Seoul.

However, after completing this term as mayor, Jiang Changyuan knew that his road to becoming mayor had come to an end. He had made remarkable political achievements through the Jeju Island development project in cooperation with the Kinmen Group. It would be strange if he had no intention of promotion at all.

At the beginning, Li You invested a lot of money in Jeju Island and Kang Changwon.

After receiving the investment, Jiang Changyuan felt that he had done his best to serve the people of Kinmen.

The Jeju Island project will soon begin to benefit Kinmen, and now is the time for explosive political achievements.

So he said what he said. He also chose to run for re-election in last year's election.

"I'm not wronged," Jiang Changyuan shook his head, "The competition is too fierce now, I'm no match for it."

"Mayor Jiang should go further," Li You nodded affirmatively, "But I have other plans in Seoul later. I found a better place for Mayor Jiang."

After hearing Li You's statement, Jiang Changyuan looked a little confused.

Just as I was about to speak, I saw a smile on Li You's face.

Jiang Changyuan was stunned for a moment, and took back his polite words, "What do you think, President Nim?"

Li You finished the wine that Jiang Changyuan poured for him, and when he poured his own wine, he refilled Jiang Changyuan's glass. "There is a place that I really want to pay attention to, and I need someone from my own team to go there. Besides, the next competitor is not that strong."

Jiang Changyuan fell silent.

Li You said calmly, "Originally, the mayors should have been decided long ago, but there were some problems in Busan, and now there is only an acting mayor. Does Mayor Jiang know this?"

Jiang Changyuan sighed, "I know. There were some problems with the Busan mayoral election. It was a by-election at the end of last year, but won't the next mayor be inaugurated soon?"

Li You chuckled twice, "That's right."

"So I hope Mayor Jiang can prepare in advance."

"This by-election mayor only has three years to run. I hope Mayor Jiang can work hard during these three years."

Jiang Changyuan squinted his eyes and lived to old age in Jeju Island, but his political achievements were actually just so-so.

Li You gave himself three years so that he could make most of the political achievements of Jeju Island. After all, no matter how much it is developed, it is just a tourist island. Jeju Island's influence in other aspects is far behind that of Busan and Seoul. It is better to serve as the mayor of Seoul for one term than to live until death.

Three years later, Li You wanted him to go to Busan to work for him.

Jiang Changyuan lowered his head and pondered for a while, and finally nodded, "I understand. I will make preparations in advance."

For mayoral elections in big cities like Seoul and Busan, not to mention three years, even right after the current one, you have to start planning for the next one.

Although Jeju Island is now developing and promoting tourism vigorously, Busan is far superior in all aspects compared to Jeju Island.

After serving one or two terms as mayor of Busan, he will have the opportunity to climb up further.

Li You's proposal this time is actually a bit subtle, because Roh Moo-hyun, who failed in the presidential election, gave up his constituency in Seoul and went to Busan to run for a seat in the National Assembly.

In Busan today, the business competition is between Kinmen Group and Daying Ocean. Although the underground forces are controlled by Li You, most officials are closer to Daying Ocean.

Li You's one or two trips to Busan, coupled with the activities of his subordinates there, might have allowed these officials to do things conveniently and both sides could make money, but it was not enough to make those officials give up Daying Haiyang and stand on Li You's side.

Daying Ocean is still the largest shipping company and the largest shipbuilding company to this day.

Daying Group is now beginning to decline, partly because Daying Ocean is managed by the elder brother of the current Daying Chairman Zhu Mengyong, and the two are not of the same mind.

So of course Li You had to be prepared to get people in. He must be very interested in this matter, and he also had to make sure that Jiang Changyuan was interested in it.

This is the only way it can be achieved.

Jiang Changyuan is also a member of the Grand National Party. After talking with Li You, he did not chat much. Instead, he frowned and hurried away, preparing to discuss with his staff what to do.

Three days later, Kinmen Group officially announced that the second phase of the Jeju Island development project had been completed and opened to the public.

The domestic advertisements, which were shot in a hurry, have begun to be broadcast on various domestic TV stations and are also being broadcast on the Internet.

The overseas promotional video will still take a few days due to dubbing and editing issues.

But that's enough.

The first phase of the Jeju Island project was already quite attractive, and now the second phase has been opened... It can be said that the only thing missing from the future completed version of Jeju Island is a few more projects.

In addition, the propaganda and public opinion departments under Li You are now unrivaled, and the hype effect has exploded on the Korean Peninsula.

On the day that Kinmen Group officially announced the opening of the second phase of its Jeju Island project, local tourists from the Korean Peninsula had already begun making reservations on the Internet.

This is also thanks to future mobile phones.

Otherwise, in this era, there is no way to buy tickets for tourist attractions online. Li You instructed Jeju Island attractions to launch electronic tickets. Tourists who want to come do not need to call those reservation phones that are flooded with calls, nor do they need to crowd the ticket offices on Jeju Island. They only need to click a few times on the Internet to buy tickets.

The development of the Jeju Island project not only brought huge profits to the Kinmen Group and the Jeju Island City Hall, but also promoted many related industries.

For example, flights to Jeju Island from all over the country have been sold out early, and some tickets have even been booked until next month, so it can be said that it is difficult to get a ticket.

Since many food ingredients on Jeju Island cannot be grown or raised locally and need to be shipped by sea, this part of the business has long been contracted to Kinmen Trading, and Kinmen Trading's net profit has also begun to be boosted.

The Minister of Culture and Tourism even came to Jeju Island from Seoul to support the Jeju Island project.

Li You's smooth sailing really makes people hate him.

After all, Jeju Island is such a big piece of cake, and it was eaten up by Lee You, while the other chaebols were unable to get a share of it.

It's natural to be jealous.

Kinmen Group. After Li You returned to Seoul, he first summoned the staff of Kinmen Real Estate and issued instructions for various developments.

This includes the third phase of the Jeju Island development project and the Asan City hot spring project which is about to be completed.

The hot spring project was completed in December last year, but Li You has not opened it until now.

The officials and businessmen in Asan are very anxious now.
