Korean TV series: King of Peninsula 1997

Chapter 551: After one wave, another wave arises

Li You tried to persuade her earnestly, even after all the dishes were served, but it was of no use.

The little girl has a very stubborn personality, and she is the same as her father who is sitting aside watching the fun.

At most, he could change his words and change his enlistment into applying for the Army Officer School.

"Okay," Li Liuhua smoothed things over and shifted the focus to her husband, "Mingzhu is like this because your uncle kept talking about wanting a successor when she was a child, right?"

Yin Jijun laughed twice beside him and said, "Let's not talk about this anymore. Let Mingzhu decide for herself."

"I just came back from Afghanistan and I have a lot to tell you."

Yin Jijun rolled up his sleeves and picked up food for the three people, while sharing his experience in Afghanistan.

There were no secrets there, and what he said was all unimportant stuff.

"I have to thank you, Li You."

Yin Jijun laughed, "Thanks to the people from your security company, we are much more relaxed."

"It's a small matter," Li You waved his hand, "I am also the party that benefits from this. Do the officers have to make corresponding adjustments when they come back this time?"

Last year, South Korea agreed to withdraw its troops from Afghanistan due to the kidnapping of missionaries.

Yoon Ji-jun was not on vacation, but all the Korean troops stationed in Afghanistan under his command were withdrawn. Although he would not be able to be promoted after his return, he would most likely have a good position of power.

"Of course," Yoon Ji-jun nodded, not regretting anything. "It's good to be back from that godforsaken place, but I can't stay there for long. The rotation requirements for officers have been stricter since General Jeon."

The meal was eaten quickly, and Li Liuhua quickly took Yin Mingzhu to the car to wait.

After Li You and Yin Jijun smoked for a while at the door, Yin Jijun sent away his dull-looking guard and pointed at his back and said with a smile: "Does he look dull?"

"Why was Xu Darong transferred away?"

"You still remember him?" Yin Jijun was a little surprised and a little wary. "You are not targeting him?"

"He wants to be a professional soldier. If you want to take him away, you have to wait for him to retire in ten or twenty years."

"No, I just asked where he was going," Li You shook his head, "I have plenty of capable fighters under my command."

"He went to the 707th Brigade for further training," Yoon Ji-jun stretched, "When he was with that other brat, his brain became much smarter."

"It's a pity that once I return to China, the 707th Squadron will no longer be under my control, and only the commander can command them."

Li You understood that this was referring to Yoo Shi Jin and Seo Dayong.

"But why you are so willing to do it this time? It's really strange," Li You shrugged.

"You have to sacrifice to gain," Yin Jijun grinned and took a puff of cigarette, "If you hold them in your hands, you will be a kid all your life."

Li You nodded. This was indeed in line with Yoon Jijun's character.

"I've also asked someone about the situation of the troops in Iraq," Yin Jijun coughed and threw the half-smoked cigarette in his hand into the sewer. "The rotation of troops this year will be slower. If your security company wants to recruit people, you may have to wait for a while."

Li You now wants to withdraw the mercenaries from Iraq, mainly referring to the two elite teams led by Zheng Zaizhong and Che Qicheng. Although their casualties are not great and they mostly carry out security tasks, his profits have almost reached the top in the quagmire of Iraq, and delaying it any further will not bring him any benefits.

The secretary quickly drove the car over, and Li You and Yin Jijun said goodbye and got in the car and left.

After finishing this meal tonight, Li You also received news about Yin Jijun's position transfer one after another.

But promotion is unlikely.

Marshal is the highest military rank in the Korean Peninsula's military, but it has never been officially awarded. There is no retirement age for marshals. It is a lifelong rank and is only appointed from generals who have made outstanding contributions to the country.

There is currently no marshal on the Korean Peninsula. General is currently the highest military rank in the Korean Peninsula's military. Promotion can only be achieved through appointment approved by the State Council. Moreover, one must serve in the national army, civil defense force or special forces to be eligible for promotion to general.

Yin Jijun, who is currently a lieutenant general, may not be promoted for many years.

However, in the eyes of Li You and Yin Jijun, it would be better not to take the position of general.

According to the law, a general's term of office is only two years. In name, this is to allow subordinates room for promotion, but in reality it is to restrict those who hold military power, so Yoon Ji-jun himself does not really want to be promoted.

The reason for this.
This is also thanks to General Quan.

Many generals resigned before they had served for more than two years. The generals in the Korean Peninsula's military change very quickly, and resignation is basically equivalent to leaving the military. Only extremely successful generals can be nominated as defense minister after retirement.

Yin Jijun was promoted to lieutenant general when he was just over 40 years old. He still had a lot of time left in his life. He must have been very depressed to have been promoted.

During this period, Yin Jijun was communicating with military generals, and Li You was also actively working to determine Yin Jijun's position after his return to China.

According to the specifications, there are seven generals and thirty-three lieutenant generals in the Korean Peninsula's military. Each general retires quickly and the old lieutenant generals take over.

Among the lieutenant generals, there are 23 army generals, 6 navy and marine corps generals, and 5 air force generals.

The Marine Corps, which Li You values ​​the most in the past and now, is commanded by a lieutenant general, who ranks first among lieutenant generals in the entire army and eighth among active military personnel, after the seven generals.

He did try to move Yoon Gil-jun into this position.

But after more than a month, it still failed. Not to mention the commander of the Marine Corps, most of the current corps lieutenant general commanders have no intention of applying for transfer in advance.

Yin Jijun eventually became the Deputy Chief of Staff of the Army temporarily. After returning from Afghanistan, Yin Jijun's pursuit was simple. He wanted to be either a real powerful leader or a sinecure that would allow him to spend two years relaxing and spending time with his family. Anyway, personnel could be transferred quickly and no one would be stuck in one position.

After receiving the news, Li You also expressed his understanding of his choice.

After being stationed in Afghanistan for several years, it is understandable that he wants a leisurely job to spend two years with his family.

"Don't worry," Yin Jijun laughed, "I know that those veterans will soon leave, just in the next few years."

"Okay," seeing that he was confident, Li You didn't say much, but felt a little regretful. After all, if Yin Jijun became the commander of the Marine Corps at this time, it would be of great help to him.

It seems that what he has been doing these days has been noticed by the military again, making them more vigilant. Even Yin Jijun, who is close to him, has begun to be suppressed secretly.

He sighed, threw his phone on the table, and looked back in front of him.

Yoon Hyun-woo, who was absent from the last meeting, lowered his head slightly and handed the document to Li You.

"You've run Taowu delivery well," Li You flipped through the report he sent, "Although the scale has not been further expanded to the entire Korean Peninsula, Gyeonggi Province is very keen to use it."

"The next goal," Li You closed the documents, "is to continue to expand. We must eliminate some of the phone calls and text messages. Internet users will be the main force using it."

It is true that phone calls and text messages are currently an important source of orders for Taobao delivery, but with the cloud platform being developed by Kinmen Electronics about to be launched, browsing products and paying for them online will become increasingly simple, and change is imminent.

According to the communication between Li You and Bezos, Amazon Group will soon launch 'Amazon S3', which Bezos said is a very 'simple' cloud storage service and hosting provider.

It is mainly for the web hosting business unit launched by Amazon in 2003, namely the 'Amazon Web Services' service.

This department will be the most important money-making tool for Amazon Group.

While its retail business is of most obvious importance to consumers, its cloud computing division, Amazon Web Services, is a cash cow.

In the future, Amazon Group will make billions of dollars in profits in some quarters, and even more than half of its revenue will come from AWS, rather than the more well-known retail division.

Amazon has also used the money it earns from its cloud computing services to subsidize other businesses, helping to undercut retail competitors that don't have similar ancillary revenue streams and making big acquisitions in books, multimedia, and games.
Li You cannot get that much of this money, but at least he will take over part of the market in the Korean Peninsula and even in Asia.

But before that, Taowu Delivery still has to use this platform first, and give some plans to Yin Xuanyou, and by the way, let him find Chen Daojun to confirm the development progress of the cloud platform.

It sounds simple, but by the time Li You really finished all these things and Yin Xuanyou left, it was almost noon.

I just wanted to have a simple meal, but someone invited me to dinner.

"President Li," Zhu Mengyong knocked on the door and walked in, smiling, "Would you please do me the honor of having a meal?"

Zhu Mengyong was all smiles and seemed to be in a good mood. He even took the initiative to say some compliments to Li You.

"President Zhu is quite frank," Li You stood up, "Is Busan preparing to take action?"

Daying Ocean is a thorn in the heart of Zhu Mengyong, who now controls an incomplete Daying Group.

"Almost done," Zhu Mengyong exuded joy.

When they went out to eat, the two of them didn't make a big fuss.

"The owner of this restaurant is a veteran employee who used to work at Daying," Zhu Mengyong said after greeting the owner and followed Li You to the private room to sit down. "He is also a senior executive of my father's generation."

The food was served very quickly, but it couldn’t have been slow since it was traditional Korean food after all.

The dishes were not large in quantity and Li You did not eat much either. Zhu Mengyong was happy and had a good appetite, so he ate with relish.

He poured a glass of sake for Li You and handed it to him leisurely, "This sake is also natural, which is in line with Mayor Li Mingxue's philosophy."

"Then I'll try it." Li You raised his eyebrows imperceptibly and took the glass of wine handed over by Zhu Mengyong with a smile, "I didn't know that President Zhu had such a good place."

"That's true," Zhu Mengyong laughed, "When President Li comes here, all his spending will be charged to my account."

He was obviously a little impatient, and spoke in a hurry, "I have long intended to take action against Busan or my eldest brother. A few days ago, I held a meeting within Daying Group to discuss the current situation. It is urgent for Daying Haiyang to return to Daying Group."

Seeing his confident tone, Li You calmed down, "Since President Zhu brought it up first, it seems that he wants to reach some consensus with me first."

"Of course." Zhu Mengyong glanced at the leftovers on the table, stood up and gestured, "President Li, let's go sit in the tea room next door."

"Okay," Li You didn't feel anything special, and the sake he had just taken a sip of was thrown away. They sat down at a neat table again.

"This is the cooperation plan that I discussed with President Li earlier," Zhu Mengyong did not ask anyone to come over to serve tea. "Both I and the people in the camp agree with this plan, but some places need to make some minor modifications."

"President Zhu has made a good calculation," Li You said in amazement, "Do you think you promised me too much before?"

Li You guessed it. After all, what Zhu Mengyong talked to him about before was just a simple "division of the ocean in the camp". Who knew how this "division" would be divided.

Of course, people in their camp are unwilling to give away part of their ocean.

Judging from Zhu Mengyong's attitude and excitement, it is estimated that most of his uncles in the Daying Group have already stood on his side.

That condition.
Li You laughed, "President Zhu, how do you want to make some 'small changes'?"

Zhu Mengyong remained expressionless and maintained his smile. He laughed and waved, asking his secretary to come over and make tea for the two of them.

“That’s easy to say.”

"Those Busan guys are stupid, but my eldest brother is a very smart man."

No one knows a brother better than his younger brother. As the second oldest, Zhu Mengyong, who has obtained the right to inherit the camp, must of course understand his eldest brother.

"President Li doesn't need to give much this time. He just needs to step in and distract my eldest brother from his work."

Zhu Mengyong lowered his voice and whispered to Li You.

Li Youan sat in his original position. After a few minutes, he understood Zhu Mengyong's thoughts. Zhu Mengyong started to speak at length again, speaking enthusiastically and with a passionate personality.

To put it more clearly, the surprises from more unexpected people united them and they did not want to leave Daying Ocean, but instead wanted the Daying group to unite as one.

"My control over the Daying Group is now basically unbreakable."

Zhu Mengyong was very proud and naturally wanted to pretend.

"Come on, President Zhu."

Li You shook his head and pushed away the tea that Zhu Mengyong's secretary had made. "This is both eating and drinking tea. Chairman Zhu, don't expect me to help you take down Daying Haiyang because of this."

He stood up, stopped at the door, and glanced at Zhu Mengyong. "Chairman Zhu, you should go back and discuss with the people from Daying Group to see if you can get things done."

"Don't be stingy and pretend to be generous," Li You was very calm and did not show any dissatisfaction, but his words were thorny. "If President Zhu feels that the benefits are difficult to distribute, he can do as I said and solve the problem himself. This will save both of us from getting into trouble."

He opened the door and walked away.

Looking at Li You's leaving back, Zhu Mengyong lowered his head and drank his tea, "Hehe..."

This is how cooperation between chaebols works. They observe things from different angles, have different things to do, and even the division of profits is difficult. The smile and joy on his face were just for Li You to see.

"There is no basis for cooperation between the two sides. Instead, there is hatred," Zhu Mengyong turned the teacup upside down. "Trust?"

The meeting actually took place a month ago, and the Zhu family in Daying had already begun to support him.

But he kept suppressing himself and had to pay attention to Li You's movements and attitude.

Otherwise, when he attacks Daying Haiyang, Li You will intervene from behind.
That would be a really bad thing.

The next day, Li Zicheng called with a frown on his face, "Something happened, President Nim."

"I saw it," Li You frowned.

In July, Iran officially announced that it had successfully produced 3.5 percent enriched uranium, becoming one of the world's "eight nuclear powers".

Li You had no idea what the original course of events would have been like.

Anyway, at that time, the price of international crude oil had already begun to set historical records.

Crude oil is expected to hit eighty dollars per barrel.

If it were just that, it wouldn’t be a big deal and it would be a good thing for Li You and the others.

But the bad thing is that as global crude oil inventories increased, market concerns about tight crude oil supply eased for a time, and then oil prices began to fall sharply, falling below $60 a barrel not long ago.

Price cuts are sometimes a good thing, but they are so low.
Far away in Suriname, Li Zicheng, who was mainly in charge of oil, certainly couldn't sit still.

"It's not our turn to worry," Li You hesitated for a moment and decided to wait and see. "Those OPEC members..."

"OPEC, the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries, cannot continue to allow crude oil prices to fall."

'OPEC' is an international organization established by oil-producing countries in Asia, Africa and Latin America. Its purpose is to unify the oil policies of its member countries, ensure the stability of international oil market prices, and enable these oil-producing countries that rely on oil as their main source of income to obtain sufficient and stable income.

Judging from the facts, there is nothing wrong with what Li You and Li Zicheng said.

From the rise in July to the current decline, and then to October, OPEC finally couldn't sit still anymore.

At the meeting, they decided to cut crude oil production in order to prevent oil prices from continuing to fall sharply.

Eventually, oil prices stabilized at around $60 a barrel.

In the words of these countries, the decline in oil prices is completely beneficial to the continued growth of the world economy.

Li Zicheng felt much more relaxed when he and Li You talked on the phone again.

Even Li You felt much more relaxed because everything was back on track.

The continuous development of Kinmen Real Estate and the development of mobile phones by Kinmen Electronics
In addition to the Kinmen Group's legitimate business, other aspects are also progressing rapidly.

The hotel is under construction in full swing, and once completed his underground world plan will be realized.

The smuggling business was also conducted almost flagrantly, and the net profit from meat and tobacco was almost equal to the profit of a medium-sized enterprise.

After getting on track, the waves hit us again.

If we say that Iran's nuclear issue has only broken through the framework set by the International Atomic Energy Agency, it has not yet posed a real threat.

In the past year, Iran's progress in nuclear technology has indeed shocked the International Atomic Energy Agency, but the purity of Iran's enriched uranium is only 3.5 percent, which has not even reached the industrial level of 5 percent.

Uranium with a lower purity can be used as fuel for nuclear power plants, but only when the purity is above 90 percent can it be used to make nuclear weapons.

Obviously, this progress is still a long way from the level of nuclear weapons that countries around the world are worried about.

And they have nothing to do with the Korean Peninsula.

By all means
The Korean Peninsula has a very dishonest neighbor. On October 9, the Central News Agency in the north officially announced that it had successfully conducted an underground nuclear test on that day.

Li You was helpless, but this was an established fact that he could not influence.

He is very powerful now, but there are too many things he cannot influence.

This news truly shocked the whole world. Although there was no consensus in the international community on the technical data of their nuclear tests, the fact that they had carried out the nuclear tests was an accurate fact.

No matter how advanced their technology or how powerful their capabilities are, they really have the technology and ability to manufacture nuclear weapons.

The current commander-in-chief Li Lianchang has no time to ask questions of his good assistant Li You because there are too many things for him to do.

After learning about the nuclear test, he jumped up from his chair almost the next second and announced that an emergency meeting would be held immediately to discuss countermeasures, and the military would also be on full alert at the same time.

"The farce is here again," Li You sighed.

Li You is also paying attention to the reactions of countries around the world.

Prime Minister Sakurajima, who was in Seoul for talks on the nuclear issue and was also the victim of the male gun, immediately returned to Tokyo.

The reason was legitimate, but there was still panic in his bones.

Even the Eastern powers were annoyed, but due to many issues, they were only asked to return to the Six-Party Talks unconditionally.

The six-party talks, which began in 2003, were originally intended to resolve the nuclear crisis.

The six parties to the talks include all relevant neighboring countries. As the East is striving for stability in Asia, an epic bomb has suddenly appeared around it.

My buddy is gentle to others, but you are playing tricks on him.

Subsequently, nearly 100 countries including Russia and the United States issued condemnations.

In fact, in addition to various countries, there is another person on the Korean Peninsula who was once the focus of attention but has now lost the limelight.

On October 13, four days after the nuclear test ended, Ban Ki-moon of the Korean Peninsula formally passed a resolution to officially serve as the Secretary-General of the United Nations on January 1 next year.

In front of other countries, the UN Secretary-General is often seen as a symbol of the United Nations, and he also uses this identity to mediate between parties in dispute.

In other words, he doesn't need to start working immediately, otherwise he would be the most miserable Secretary-General in history.

The turmoil was huge, and Li You was helpless. His base was all on the Korean Peninsula, and this world was not a peaceful world. What if there was a madman who really wanted to "nuclearize" it?
Although he is not mortal, he is still flesh.

On the contrary, the local citizens of the Korean Peninsula have not reacted much. In other words, they have become accustomed to it.

For so many years, there have been wars here and there all the time. It can be regarded as a modern version of "The Wolf is Coming". Instead of thinking about this, it is better to think about how to make more money and immigrate to those beautiful countries.

According to statistics from overseas Korean organizations, there are approximately four million Koreans scattered across more than one hundred countries around the world.

Considering the total population, it’s a truly remarkable proportion.

Even the things that Commander Yin caused later, ordinary people didn't care much about it. Apart from joining in the criticism online, it didn't affect their normal lives at all.

"Will something really happen?" After returning home, Mou Xianmin was a little worried. "Those things before were nothing, but this time it's a real big deal."

Li You hugged her and found that she was really panicking, so he raised his hand and touched her cheek, "Nothing will happen."

"That was just a nuclear test. If we really wanted to drop a nuclear bomb, it would be impossible to immediately build a test-ready nuclear bomb."

Mou Xianmin suddenly realized, but Li You frowned and started thinking.

Even Mou Xianmin is like this.
He did overlook a lot of things. Ordinary citizens don't care that much, but the middle and upper classes on the Korean Peninsula are really panicked.

Those who are barefoot are not afraid, but those who wear shoes are.

"Why don't you call them over?" Mou Xianmin scratched Li You with her nails, showing her understanding side.

Li You grabbed her slender hand. Her hand was very white, and her nails were painted with elegant pearl-colored nail polish.
Mou Xianmin gently bent his fingertips and scratched the back of Li You's hand again.

"Are we embarrassed as adults?"

"You are a little too considerate," Li You said frankly, "This is not what a big wife should do."

"Tsk." Mou Xianmin wrapped her arms around Li You's neck. "Actually, I've already called them. We're all women, so we always need someone to rely on."

"Thank you before they come," Li You stood up with his arms around her waist. Mou Xianmin wrapped her arms and legs around Li You like a koala.

"."

The living room more than twenty minutes later.

"It seems like Ouni has called us all here," Li Youmo waved the phone in his hand and looked at the clothes scattered on the ground, "Do you want to go up?"

"?"

Chen Yijun and Jun Ji-hyun showed two question marks.

"Oh," Li Youmo smiled, his eyes curved into crescents, "You didn't go on vacation to Bali with us, and you still can't accept it."

When the three of them went upstairs together, they saw Li Youjian's muscular and well-proportioned figure next to the window with drawn curtains, and the sunlight that came in was coated with a layer of golden halo.

"You, you, you..." Chen Yijun looked at Li Youmo's actions blankly, "What are you doing?"

Li Youmo looked back at her calmly, grabbed Jun Ji-hyun and went over, leaving the most reserved Chen Yijun behind.

Watching these people making one move after another and the noise becoming deafening, Chen Yajun was the only one in the huge bedroom who fell into silence.

Is this the true nature of a chaebol?
