Chapter 2666

Fu Li's current job is affiliated with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, but he also shoulders responsibilities in many fields such as trade, intelligence, culture, education, and even the military. Therefore, his performance appraisal, job promotion and promotion are all managed vertically by the Executive Committee.

There is no need to be responsible to Donghai Region.

Zhu Zian's matter was jointly handled by the Northern Region and the Donghai Region. Fu Li only provided due assistance in the Seoul area. How effective this matter was was not something he needed to consider. Moreover, even if Zhu Zian was retained in the future,

, because of his status, it is unlikely that he will be sent to work in North Korea in the future, so Fu Li does not have to worry about maintaining a relationship with him.

After briefly talking about Zhu Zian, we moved on to the third topic, which is the impact that the new agreement reached by the two countries through talks will have on North Korea.

The new agreement between the two countries is mainly about the industrial upgrading of existing cooperation projects. To put it bluntly, Haihan now needs more primary industrial products produced in North Korea for the large-scale infrastructure plan to be implemented in the Hangzhou area.

In particular, relatively scarce minerals such as coal and iron in Jiangsu and Zhejiang need to be supplemented by existing industrial production capacity in the Datong River Basin.

Fu Lidao: "According to the opinions of the Executive Committee and the Ministry of Industry, we require North Korea to increase the export of high-quality coal by 50% in the next three years, double the export of steel products, and have similar requirements for other minerals. .However, it is difficult to achieve such a request solely by increasing production capacity. It will probably have to squeeze out some of the products originally supplied to North Korea. North Korea’s opposition is mainly focused on this point, believing that my country’s request will make North Korea originally formulated Some good development plans have stalled."

Tao Hongfang added: "So the Executive Committee also proposed conditions for technological upgrading of these cooperation projects. For North Korea, the value of this condition is difficult to measure in terms of money. And the increase in production capacity will bring benefits to North Korea."

More job opportunities are also of great benefit to North Korea."

Fu Li nodded and said: "In the end, the other party was willing to accept the content of the agreement. A large part of the reason was considering the long-term benefits that the conditions we proposed would bring to them. It is not always possible to exchange primary industrial products for industrial upgrading.

opportunities. Not to mention the increase in jobs, the number of industrial workers in North Korea will also increase significantly. Li Zhen should be very clear about what this means."

During his studies in Haihan, Li Zhen inspected almost all industrial production units on Hainan Island. Naturally, he was very aware of the huge role of industrial workers who have mastered production skills in the process of industrial development. The industrial projects cooperated with Haihan are among the few in North Korea.

There are many places where industrial workers can be trained.

According to the agreement between the two countries, these workers are free to leave their jobs as long as they have worked in the cooperative projects for eight years. Therefore, in some of the industrial projects that North Korea is currently trying to run on its own, almost all the people employed in the cooperative projects quit after working in the cooperative projects for eight years.

skilled workers, greatly reducing the difficulty for North Korea to develop independent industrial projects.

Sacrificing the acquisition of industrial products in exchange for opportunities for industrial upgrading and personnel training is undoubtedly a cost-effective exchange for North Korea. But for the vested interest groups related to it, the pros and cons are different.

A bit more complicated.

Those industrial cooperation projects in the Datong River Basin are important industries related to the lifeblood of the country, such as salt, iron, shipbuilding, etc., so the franchise rights have been taken back to the government, but the specific operating channels are subcontracted to certain powerful individuals.

Or business groups. And behind these operators are all powerful upper-level figures in North Korea.

Haihan now needs more production capacity from cooperative projects to be supplied to the Donghai Region and other places, which will inevitably reduce the proportion of supply to North Korea, and this will directly affect the income of relevant operators. So the real difficulty in this meeting is actually

It is necessary to persuade these vested interest groups in North Korea to accept Haihan's arrangement.

"All we can do is provide compensation from other aspects." Fu Li said calmly: "Fortunately, things went smoothly and there were no unintended consequences."

Shi Chengwu said: "This is all thanks to Master Fu for his hard work and mediation. Otherwise, I am afraid that this matter will have to be negotiated for several rounds before there is any hope. After this matter is completed, I will write a letter based on the facts and ask for credit for Master Fu."

Fu Li smiled and said: "This is where the responsibility lies."

If we wait until the beginning of formal talks to figure out how to implement these below-the-table operations, it will inevitably delay the negotiation process, so the relevant work on Fuli's side has actually been carried out several months in advance.

During this period, he has to meet and contact relevant people from all walks of life to discuss transaction conditions that are acceptable to both parties. The payment from Haihan may be a franchise of a certain commodity, a plantation located somewhere overseas, or a payment for a certain person.

The children of officials were provided with a special place to study in Sanya, as well as political support commitments, etc.

The conditions acceptable to each negotiating partner may be different. Such negotiation processes are often very cumbersome and require continuous follow-up by the person in charge. It is not an easy job. But this is an instruction directly issued by the Executive Committee to Fuli.

, he will naturally spare no effort to complete the task.

By the time the mission arrived in Seoul, Fu Li had actually reached an agreement with all interested parties. He only had to wait for formal talks to go through before signing the agreement. This was actually a disguised form of gilding for Shi Chengwu and others.

Shi Chengwu was well aware of this, so he expressed his gratitude.

For ordinary people, of course they have no access to these inside stories. The public information they know basically comes from the announcements of various government offices in the imperial court and relevant reports in the Peninsula Times.

For the people, the results of this meeting are undoubtedly some exciting good news. For example, The Peninsula Times has revealed that major industries in the Datong River Basin will start recruiting a large number of workers, and it is expected that there will be as many as tens of thousands of new jobs.

, and the job income and career development prospects of these positions can be regarded as the goals that ordinary people aspire to.

In addition, the cross-sea transportation industry between North Korea and Haihan will also expand its scale of operations. It is expected that in the next three years, hundreds of cargo sailing ships will be added between the two countries in the Daedong River alone. Thousands of high-speed cargo ships will be added.

The high-income sailor position is waiting for young people from North Korea to sign up.

Haihan also promised to increase the purchase of some agricultural and forestry products from North Korea year by year, which means that the farmer group, which accounts for the vast majority of North Korea's population, is expected to benefit from it. Of course, this also has a prerequisite, that is, continuing the consistent practice, farmers or farm owners

First sign a relevant contract with Haihan, plant the crops requested by Haihan, and use the seedlings provided by Haihan. But few people realize that Haihan is actually gradually controlling North Korea's agricultural production through such means.
