Chapter 1845 Interests of all parties
In the professional field of civil affairs, especially immigration management, Fu Li's qualifications are naturally not as good as those of Liu Shang. question.Until it got dark, the two had not yet completed the handover of the data files.
Liu Shang had already said that his mouth was dry, and after drinking half a pot of tea, he saw that it was getting late, so he suggested to stop here first, and then hand over the work tomorrow.Fu Li also felt that he needed time to digest the information. Even if he suggested that he invite Liu Shang to dinner as the host, it could be regarded as a reply to Liu Shang's banquet for him yesterday.
Liu Shang said with a smile: "It's good that Director Fu wants to treat guests, but don't be in a hurry, this meal is invited."
Fu Li thought that among the civil servants here, you and I are on the same level. Could it be that the military general wants to treat you?But it seems that I don't have such a big face when I think about myself, so that people from the military can take the initiative to post it.
"Don't think about it, it's North Koreans, and the officials they sent to the base are waiting to meet you." Liu Shang's next words surprised Fu Li: "In the next few days, there will probably be people queuing up to invite you Fortunately, I was ahead of the action when I was eating."
In addition to the officials in charge of North Korean labor, the heads of Annan, Portugal, and the Fujian Navy have also heard the news that the local civil affairs chiefs are about to be replaced, and they are officials transferred from Sanya. Get acquainted.After this round of meetings is over, subordinates like Cui Ren will also find opportunities to entertain Fu Li in turn, in order to make a good impression in front of the new leader.
After all these people have dealt with each other once, Fu Li should have a good grasp of the local situation.At that time, the relationship in all aspects has been basically established, and it will be easier to get the cooperation of the upper and lower levels to carry out the work.
This kind of welcome and send-off action is not unique to Haihan's officialdom. In fact, whether it is Ming Dynasty or North Korea, East or West, interpersonal communication in officialdom is always accompanied by interests, and Haihan is no exception.Fu Li, as the new local civil affairs official, is very likely to be in charge of local commercial affairs in the future, and has a certain influence on the interests of all parties. Naturally, the relevant personnel must take the initiative to establish good relations to ensure their own Benefit.
Fu Li is not a newcomer in the officialdom either, after a little thought, he understood what Liu Shang meant.Since the intention of the North Korean official to invite him to dinner was conveyed through Liu Shang, it is natural that he played a role in making a bridge out of it, so Fu Li thanked Liu Shang for his care again.
Before coming to North Korea, Fu Li was actually worried about whether he could quickly adapt to the environment here and the new job, but judging from the current situation, everything seems to be going well.Especially my predecessor, Liu Shang, arranged the work handover in an orderly manner, and has been helping himself to quickly integrate into the environment here. This is by no means something he, a newcomer, can do alone.
Therefore, although Fu Li was very polite on the surface for Liu Shang's kindness, he still felt grateful and wanted to make friends.As the saying goes, rely on your parents at home, and rely on your friends when you go out. Fu Li is also very happy to meet more caring friends like this.Of course, out of caution, he still maintained a relatively official relationship with Liu Shang with restraint, and did not show any intention of actively developing personal relationships.
Because of Fu Li's special position and his personal friendship with Haihan's senior management, there were quite a few people who tried to get close to him in the past, and Ren Liang did not give less advice to his apprentice, let him deal with interpersonal relationships Be cautious when making friends, and never form cliques, so as not to be used by others in the future.
This kind of thing is not without precedent. Many officials who were promoted from the local people in the early years could not afford the benefits of being sent to the door by various figures, and were slowly corroded.It’s fine if these officials are just using their power to make money. The higher-ups usually turn a blind eye to this kind of thing. Don’t go overboard to gain fame and be too good at it. Interfering in government affairs, or even betraying national security, can only be investigated.
When Fu Li was working in the Police Department, he had handled many such cases, so he was naturally far more wary of this than ordinary people.Even though Liu Shang was a naturalized cadre promoted by Yu Xiaobao and had passed the political review of the Ministry of Security, Fu Li still did not forget his principles of conduct.
Liu Shang didn't have any idea about Fu Li's more business-like attitude. He actually put himself in a relatively low position when dealing with Fu Li from the very beginning.After all, in Haihan's officialdom system, young officials like Xiaobao, Fu Li, Zhang Qianzhi, etc. who were accepted by the chiefs as subordinates ten years ago, their qualifications and prospects are very comparable, and their status is virtually higher than that of their peers. Ordinary naturalized officials are higher.
As for officials like Liu Shang who joined the group halfway through, although they were promoted very quickly, their qualifications were still far behind, so even though he and Fu Li were two successive officials in the same position, Liu Shang still took the initiative to lower his status. Deal with runes.What Liu Shang wanted was not immediate benefits, but to build contacts for future development, so he didn't ask for immediate rewards. This seemingly utilitarian approach naturally made Fu Li feel a little more favorable.
The banquet in the evening was indeed hosted by North Korean officials, but the scene was not as big as it was yesterday. Only two Haihan officials, Liu Shang and Fu Li, were invited to attend, accompanied by the two camps currently managing North Korean labor camps in the north and south The two chief executives - one of them is Cui Ren who is already familiar with Fu Li.
This North Korean official named Park Beixiu was originally a confidant of Kim Sang-heon, and he got the current fat job by virtue of this relationship.The reason why it is said that this is a lucrative job is because North Korea allocates food and clothing to these thousands of laborers, and Haihan allocates them daily necessities, and Park Beixiu will have a bite in the middle.It was not a lucrative job to eat at both ends, but it was suddenly manipulated by him into a fat job.
Regarding these situations, Liu Shang naturally knows that Park Beixiu's operation is actually not very clever, and it is far inferior to the means of embezzlement of funds by the quartermaster he saw in the Majiazhuang refugee camp in Shandong. describe.But Park Beixiu is an official of North Korea, and Liu Shang is of course inconvenient to intervene. As long as the emotions of the North Korean people in the base can be controlled, Haihan will not intentionally use this kind of problem to trouble Park Beixiu.
Of course, Park Beixiu was able to gain the appreciation of Kim Sang-heon to get this position, and he was not a corrupt official without skills. He was still very skilled in deception.Even on Liu Shang's side, he kept inviting people to eat and drink every day, maintaining a good relationship.Liu Shang is a smart person. Anyway, eating and drinking are fine, and gold and silver gifts are not accepted, so as not to make it unclear in the future.
Liu Shang's resignation is imminent, and Pu Beixiu wants to continue to reap benefits in a safe and secure way, so naturally he must win over the new Haihan Civil Affairs Officer as soon as possible.So he contacted Liu Shang immediately after hearing that the new civil affairs officer had arrived in the port, and wanted to ask him to introduce him in the middle. Communication is a bit late.
Liu Shang has no objection to Park Beixiu's request. He also thinks it is a good thing to arrange for Fuli to meet with the North Koreans earlier, so that at least Fuli can prepare earlier, and he will not be ashamed of Park Beixiu's ugly appearance after taking office. Fall into passivity.
So on the way to the banquet with Fu Li, Liu Shang pointed out Park Beixiu's position and intentions to him in advance, so that Fu Li could have more thoughts on his own.As for the two directors of the North Korean labor camp, Cui In is more inclined to rely on Haihan, and the other director Shin Zhe is Park Beixiu's confidant.If Cui Ren hadn't chosen to hold Liu Shang's thigh early in the morning, he might have been kicked out by Park Beixiu and replaced by his confidant.
Although Fu Li had a bad opinion of Park Beixiu in his heart, he still had to do enough on the surface, and he really didn't need to worry about these corruption issues with Park Beixiu.As Liu Shang said, as long as the North Korean labor camp is in good order, there are no disturbances due to life problems, and all labor tasks can be completed according to Haihan's arrangement, then everything will be business as usual.
Liu Shang specially left a book for Fu Li, which is full of records of Park Beixiu's corruption, and there is a high possibility that Cui Ren will obey the arrangement and stand up as a witness at a critical moment. If something really happens, there is no need for Haihan to bear it. responsibility.
Although there were only five guests at the banquet today, in terms of abundance alone, it seemed to exceed the two tables arranged by Liu Shang yesterday, and there were even several jars of "Sanya Special Wine" placed beside the table.The quantity of this thing shipped to North Korea is not much at present, and most of them are bottled. This kind of Sanya special wine in a small jar of three catties is estimated to be sold for about 20 taels of silver, which also shows that Pu Beixiu's purchase is quite generous.
Of course, the money came easily, so naturally it was spent lavishly. Park Beixiu was willing to spend the money to entertain Fu Li, naturally because it was profitable.As long as the new civil affairs officer is successfully recruited, the cost of the banquet will be recovered in less than two days.
Since Liu Shang had greeted him in advance, Fu Li would not be in a hurry to express his attitude. He first responded with a hmm, arguing that he was a newcomer and was not very familiar with the situation here.
Perhaps because of the presence of his boss, Cui Ren didn't act as aggressively as he did in the morning.On the other hand, the other manager, Shen Zhe, was quite savvy, he didn't even touch the stool, and he kept pouring wine and serving food for everyone almost without stopping, acting like a follower.
After drinking for three rounds, Pu Beixiu probably felt that the groundwork was almost done, so he took the initiative to bring up the business: "Master Fu, the cooperation between our country and your country has always been close, and the joint efforts to build this Datong River base is a reflection of the relationship between the two countries. We have a good relationship, and I hope this kind of cooperative relationship can continue after Mr. Fu takes office."
Fu Li smiled and said: "Of course. Please rest assured, Mr. Park. Director Liu will follow the rules during his tenure. If there is any disagreement, I hope Mr. Park can communicate with us in time."
Pu Beixiu said: "Speaking of communication, I think of one thing. It happens that Mr. Liu is here, so let's talk about it and let's discuss it together to see how to handle it."
"After the war, although some North Korean people left here to return to their hometowns, there are still thousands of homeless people gathered outside the base, hoping to find a livelihood here. I agree with the head of your country's proposal of replacing workers with work. The method of relief, so I want to discuss with the two adults to see if we can recruit some more people, which can be regarded as helping these people tide over the difficulties."
Fu Li was surprised by Pu Beixiu's words, and suddenly became sober from the drunkenness. He looked at Liu Shang, and saw that Liu Shang was calm and relaxed, as if he had expected this suggestion from the Koreans.
Park Beixiu's suggestion seemed to be to help the North Korean refugees outside the base, but Fu Li had heard Liu Shang introduce this man's style before, and subconsciously thought it was tricky.It's just that how the other party wants to benefit from it, he hasn't turned this corner in his mind for a while.
It was Liu Shang who took the initiative to help Fu Li understand the mystery: "Master Park means to recruit a group of Korean people and then apply for more funding from the imperial court. Is my understanding wrong?"
Pu Beixiu said with a smile all over his face: "Master Liu is really experienced, so there is no need to waste any more words!"
Fu Li is no rookie, after listening to the conversation between the two, he immediately understood Park Beixiu's purpose and means.After the war, some North Korean laborers chose to leave here and return home. For some reason, Park Beixiu did not dare to pay empty wages. Therefore, this reduction in the number of people will definitely affect his income, so he turned his calculations on the refugees outside the base. , hoping to keep the North Korean population in the base at a certain level through recruitment, so that his income level can continue to be maintained.
As for how Haihan arranges these refugees, that is probably not what Park Beixiu cares about.His calculation was very clear, one more North Korean in the base would make him greedy for more money, and if he could recruit a few thousand more people, then it would not be a problem for him to invite Fuli to eat every day.
It is also very difficult for the North Korean court to ask about this kind of thing, because it is Haihan people who proposed to recruit North Korean refugees at that time, and the court is unlikely to object to Haihan's reasonable request. At most, they can verify the number of people and honestly provide enough Food is given to these North Korean people who are working for Haihan.At that time, Park Beixiu can continue the current operation mode, intercept the next part and put it into his pocket.
Of course, during this process, Haihan will also provide some supplies to North Korean laborers to reflect the so-called spirit of work-for-relief, but in fact it is extremely limited compared to North Korean official contributions.More than [-]% of the food for these North Korean laborers was transported by North Korean officials from the south, so although Park Beixiu also deducted benefits from Haihan, it didn't really have much impact, and he was sure that Liu Shang would not Care about such little things.
