    The C919 special plane of Jet Airways under the jurisdiction of Qi Yiming landed at Gimpo Airport in Seoul. The construction of Incheon Airport, which will be familiar to people in later generations, has not yet started at this time.  Qi Yiming does not occupy a major position in the entire delegation, nor is he particularly conspicuous. On the contrary, the heavyweight Chinese Foreign Minister Wu Xuejian attracts people's attention.

    When the Chinese delegation visited South Korea, the outfit alone stunned the South Korean Ministry of Foreign Affairs who came to pick them up as soon as they landed.  Because the new clothing brand she started with Jacqueline was on the right track, Jacqueline, who was well versed in the effects of advertising, provided free suits of the new brand to a group of Chinese officials.  The clothing brand named M&Q (Morgan&Qi) will focus on men's and women's formal wear or casual formal wear. It takes a high-end brand route and absorbs many features of later clothing design. The materials used are also very high-end and the tailoring is exquisite.

    M&Q has been very popular in Europe and the United States since its launch. Although the advertising has not yet been in place, the sales results in the past two months are very gratifying. Jacqueline has also been included on the covers of many fashion magazines - because this has not  The very honest foreign girl claims to be the chief designer of this brand.

    There are several sub-brands under the new clothing brand, including the production of high-end luxury goods such as bags, perfumes, and skin care products, as well as ordinary fashion brands that are more popular with the masses. Jacqueline is now determined to build M&Q Group into a  Dominant position in the world's fashion trends.

    When high-end clothing brands were worn by Chinese officials who were still very rustic, they immediately blinded the eyes of the Korean people. They consciously stood with these "glorious" Chinese officials, which seemed very cheap and shameless.

    However, the necessary contacts still need to be made. South Korean Foreign Minister Lee Won-kyung quite formally invited the Chinese delegation to enter the hotel they had prepared in advance.  To be honest, Li Yuanjing was still very confused. It stands to reason that the Chinese shot down 15 of their fighter jets in one go, which greatly affected the air force's combat effectiveness, and many outstanding pilots lost their lives. China and South Korea can be regarded as enmity.  What's more, in the Korean War in the 1950s, the Volunteer Army beat the Koreans so hard that they couldn't even lift their heads. Nearly 400,000 people were wiped out by the Volunteer Army.  However, Li Yuanjing also knows that this time the incident will not be a big deal. The United States has given instructions to the Chun Doo-hwan government in advance, which means that both parties can step down. China apologized and South Korea accepted it graciously. The two sides shook hands and took a photo.  , bad things turn into good things.

    In addition, as North Korea¡¯s biggest supporter, if it can lay a nail in Sino-North Korean relations, it would be a very valuable thing. Therefore, Li Yuanjing and a group of South Korean strategic and diplomatic figures are enthusiastic about this visit from China.

    So negative and positive emotions were mixed together, and Li Yuanjing, like many others, did not know what expression to put on when facing the Chinese envoys.

    After holding it in for a long time, Li Yuanjing still smiled slightly, leaned slightly and said to Wu Xuejian: "Welcome Mr. Wu to the Republic of Korea."

    It¡¯s just that his self-conscious and reserved smile still seemed a bit too pug-like in the eyes of many people who were angry, especially when a reporter stood nearby and raised his camera to snap a picture.  As a result, a photo of the Chinese foreign minister, who stood up straight and looked quite dignified and powerful, extending his hand slightly, while the South Korean foreign minister bowed and shook hands with the Chinese with a smile on his face, was published in the Chosun Ilbo the next day.  ¡· front page headline.  No one knows what consequences this photo will have. This is a story for another day and will not be mentioned at this time.

    But it was said that Li Yuanjing picked up the Chinese delegation, arranged for them to stay in a hotel first, and then handed over the itinerary for the subsequent meetings. It seemed that they were not in a hurry and did not negotiate with the Chinese side until the next day.

    Qi Yiming, who was used to seeing such battles, found it a bit strange. It was obviously a big deal, but why were the Koreans so unhurried? Do they really think that everything was not a problem?

    Wu Xuejian explained to Qi Yiming: "It may be that the United States has made its position clear to South Korea in advance. Our negotiations will eventually yield results, and the matter will not be a big deal. The Koreans themselves already have expectations for this, so there is no need.  He paid special attention to it and put us in front of the banquet.¡±

    Qi Yiming nodded, feeling that this possibility was indeed relatively high, and added: "This Quan Douhuan government, even if the result is known in advance, still has to show off, how can you say that we are all worried about an 'enemy' now?"  Title, it should be condemned, it should be condemned, it should be ignored, it should be ignored. This military government of theirs is already in a precarious position, and it is not enough to take this opportunity to "convert exports to domestic sales" to incite national sentiment and unite the people of the country.  Don¡¯t you have enough hatred in yourself?¡±

    As a latecomer, Qi Yiming knows very well what the political atmosphere was like in South Korea in the 1980s.  Although South Korea had a miracle on the Han River in the 1960s and 1970s, with rapid economic development and basically becoming a more developed country after the 1980s, South Korea at this time was still not the democratic government of later generations, but an authoritarian one.  Military government.  In October 1979, South Korea¡¯s military and political??President Park Chung-hee was assassinated by his subordinates, and a short-lived "Seoul Spring" appeared. However, soon military strongman Chun Doo-hwan launched the Double Twelve Sujun coup and established a military government again.

    In May 1980, the Gwangju Incident broke out in South Korea. The Korean people demanding democracy were suppressed by the military and police sent by Chun Doohuan. Thousands of people were injured and killed, and a large number of demonstrators were arrested.  The United States, which has always flaunted democracy and freedom, has made it clear that it cannot sit idly by and watch the disorder and chaos in South Korea, and officially allows Chun Dou-hwan to suppress the movement.  What is particularly ironic is that nine years later, a June incident of similar scale and with less casualties than the Gwangju incident occurred in China. Instead, China suddenly became the target of public criticism all over the world, with a military embargo and all kinds of condemnation.  The face of Americans has changed so quickly.

    Or maybe in the end, Chun Doo-hwan was overthrown in South Korea in 1987, but the CPC was not overthrown in China. However, this cannot be changed. The negative impact of the June disturbance in China was infinitely exaggerated and demonized in later generations.  In other words, this is also a counterattack made by the West to vent its anger on the fact that Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union have fallen but China has not.

    It is now 1985. It was still two years before Chun Doo-hwan was overthrown in history. Korean society was becoming more and more dissatisfied with Chun Doo-hwan's military government. Eventually, in 1987, more than eight million Koreans  Taking to the streets, the military and police officers of the military government were demoralized and unwilling to suppress again, and Quan Dou-hwan was eventually overthrown.

    Wu Xuejian has obviously done his homework about South Korea. He smiled slightly and said: "It's just that there are no smart people like you, Xiao Qi, in the South Korean government. But this is the best. If South Korea incites public opinion against China, it will be very serious for us."  Unfavorable things.¡±

    Qi Yiming hummed and said, "I just feel that there must be a monster when something goes wrong."

    "Then let's pray that this is not the case." Wu Xuejian seemed very optimistic.

    That night, the Korean people hosted a banquet for the visiting Chinese delegation, and Qi Yiming was also present. However, when he looked at the table of pork bone soup, kimchi, Korean barbecue and other foods, he still felt a toothache.  South Korea is a small, densely populated country with few products, which is very similar to its neighboring country, Japan.  In the era he lived in, Shandong, which is close to Japan and South Korea, became the kitchen of Japan and South Korea. Both Japan and South Korea needed to import a large amount of agricultural products from Shandong, especially South Korea.

    Before traveling through time, Qi Yiming once went to South Korea to discuss business, and he deeply understood the high prices and limited variety of food in South Korea.  At that time, inflation was still going on in the country, and the people in the country were all complaining that they could not survive. If they came to South Korea for a walk, they would definitely go back to show that they lived a happy and brilliant life.

    ¡° Just like the current state banquet where Chinese distinguished guests are invited, pork rib soup and Korean barbecue may look very tempting, but in fact, even if South Korea¡¯s per capita income reaches 30,000 US dollars in the future, these are not foods that can be seen on the dining tables of Korean people.  Bringing a pork rib to visit relatives, or bringing a watermelon to visit your boss. Gifts that are devalued in the eyes of the Chinese will be considered valuable by the stickmen

    Qi Yiming also feels that Koreans deserve what they deserve. Vegetables and grains that they cannot produce themselves can still be imported from China and other countries. As for pork, beef, etc., they are completely hindering themselves. South Korea's trade protectionism is particularly serious.  This has also resulted in the price being so high despite insufficient market supply.

    Qi Yiming gnawed on a piece of pork ribs, thinking that China is actually not much better now.  When he made suggestions to Ping Taizong, developing the rural economy and increasing agricultural production were placed before heavy industry and military industry. Now the domestic market is also in severe shortage of materials, but it is more that the potential has not been realized.  However, in developing domestic agriculture, Qi Yiming only has 30 years of useful information, and the Red Alert Base cannot produce breeding pigs or Chinese cabbage.

    Fortunately, the development of agriculture can produce results much faster than heavy industry, especially now that rural organizations are still sound. Although production is guaranteed to each household, it can still take advantage of concentrating efforts to do big things.  Several major agricultural bases are being developed in China, involving different aspects such as food crops and cash crops. It is roughly estimated that if done well, gratifying results will be seen in two or three years.

    Qi Yiming threw away the bones and laughed secretly that he would worry about the country and the people no matter what happened.

    On the other side, the two foreign ministers, Wu Xuejian and Li Yuanjing, were exchanging cups and cups. They didn¡¯t talk about business at all, they were all trying to establish friendship.  Perhaps the close cultural proximity between the two countries makes it necessary for them to establish friendly relations before entering into serious issues.

    This state banquet was a feast for the host and guest, and Qi Yiming was not harassed because no one knew his status.  It's just that he always felt that there was something wrong with this matter, but he couldn't fully see what was wrong.  He drank a few glasses of rice wine and felt lazily all over. He returned to the hotel and wanted to rest early.

    Qi Yiming looked at several hotel waiters with a hint of drunkenness. They were still busy cleaning up the hotel and dealing with other things, but Qi Yiming didn't pay much attention.?, these waiters always inadvertently look at the guests from China with a cold glint in their eyes.
