Chapter 1846 Exchange Conditions
Liu Shang cares most about his political achievements rather than money. As long as the North Korean laborers can work hard, he will definitely not interfere with Park Beixiu's small actions.As for recruiting more North Koreans, the North Korean officials will provide the bulk of the funds anyway, and Hai Han's contribution is quite cost-effective compared to the rewards he can get, so there is no reason to object to Park Beixiu's proposal.However, Liu Shang is about to resign, and to implement Pu Beixiu's proposal, it can only fall on Fu Li's head, so Pu Beixiu is eager to meet with Fu Li before Liu Shang leaves office, and strives to build a bridge with Liu Shang Let's finalize this matter first.
Fu Li didn't know as much about the secrets as Liu Shang did, but since Liu Shang didn't object, he naturally wouldn't be in a hurry to express his opinion.According to the principle of coming and going, since Pu Beixiu wanted to benefit from it, he had to come up with some substantial benefits.
Of course, this kind of benefit does not refer to money. For officials at the level of Liu Shang and Fu Li, political future is far more important than making money. Even if Pu Beixiu wants to take the initiative to send money to them, they will inevitably be rejected by them. outside.As for how to offer conditions to the other party, Liu Shang had communicated with Fu Li in advance on this matter, and specially left this matter to Fu Li to speak.
"The continued recruitment of workers at the base can be arranged, but can Mr. Park persuade Mr. Jin to cancel the relevant ban on immigration, so that it will be convenient for everyone." Fu Li immediately set out his own conditions.
"Master Jin's attitude towards the immigration ban has always been quite firm...I don't dare to promise, I can only do my best." Speaking of this matter, Pu Beixiu also had a headache.
This is actually not the first time Haihan has taken the initiative to mention the issue of emigrating from North Korea. North Korea sent a large number of laborers to Liaodong to assist the Haihan army in building the Jinzhou Isthmus line of defense. Haihan actually had the idea of obtaining population from North Korea. up.For Haihan, North Korea has always been a vassal state of the Han regime in the East Asian continent, and their culture and living habits are similar. The cost of re-education required to introduce Korean immigrants is small, and the immigrants can quickly adapt to the environment under Haihan’s rule. It is undoubtedly an excellent source of immigration.
However, although North Korea is willing to send people to work for Haihan, it is another matter to open immigration.It is not a secret that Haihan has absorbed a large number of immigrants from Daming all the year round. Daming can only turn a blind eye if he can't control it, but North Korea doesn't want to take the initiative to let go of this hole—seeing Haihan swallow it silently. Tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Dongjiang Town ate their stomachs without even hiccupping. North Korea did not want a similar situation to happen to itself.
Therefore, although the two countries are allies in name, North Korea has always refused to let go of the immigration issue even though it agreed to the requirements of establishing an embassy, opening ports for trade, military cooperation, and even garrisoning troops.
Haihan is naturally dissatisfied with North Korea's persistence, so he has been trying to get North Korea to change its current attitude, and Kim Sang-heon has played a key role in this.
At the beginning, Kim Sang-heon insisted on fighting against the powerful Qing army, and insisted on bringing in Haihan reinforcements at any cost. It can be said that he was the main advocate of the evolution of the situation on the Korean peninsula in the past six months, and his influence on the North Korean king and the ruling and opposition parties also came from this. It can be seen.If Kim Sang-heon can be persuaded to let go, and then use his influence to get North Korea to change its current population export policy, maybe it will be a success.
This matter has always been requested by Hai Han, which inevitably made Kim Sang-heon vigilant and resistant to it, so Liu Shang is also trying to find a way to let the North Koreans try their best to promote the operation of this matter. A North Korean official trusted by Kim Sang-heon couldn't be more appropriate to do this.
But Park Beixiu also has his own difficulties to face, knowing that his boss doesn’t like it, but taking the initiative to make suggestions, this kind of behavior is definitely not pleasing, maybe he will be reprimanded, and it will be troublesome if the boss’s impression of him is ruined .If it was just to satisfy the Haihan people, then he didn't need to engage in such a dangerous act of groping a tiger's butt.As for whether this will cause a large number of Korean civilians to leave the country, he doesn't really care. There are also many Koreans who were taken away by the Qing army. He has never seen any complaints from the court. The Haihan people are willing to exchange benefits for North Korea. Population, what's wrong with this business?
To put it bluntly, the benefits are still not great enough to make Park Beixiu unwilling to take risks to promote this matter.Even though Liu Shang mentioned it before, and today Fu Li mentioned it again, Park Beixiu still tried to evade the matter on the grounds of Jin Shangxian's firm attitude.
Liu Shang and Fu Li exchanged glances. Both of them could tell that Park Beixiu's attitude was not firm, and that he seemed to be shirking responsibility. Such a reaction was basically within their expectation.As long as Park Beixiu didn't stop talking, there was still a possibility of success.
Liu Shang said: "What Mr. Jin is worried about is mainly the problem of excessive population loss, but in fact, we can improve the system to ensure that the situation that Mr. Jin is worried about will not happen. For example, we can raise the threshold for immigration, Or limit the number of people who apply for immigration each month... As long as you use a little bit of tricks, there are many ways to control the scale of immigration."
Fu Li has to admit that Liu Shang's proficiency in the field of immigration is indeed far superior to his own, and he can immediately come up with solutions to the Koreans' scruples, but he has hardly thought of such a solution to the problem. There is still a lot to learn in this new position.
Pu Beixiu was very polite, and did not categorically deny Liu Shang's suggestion, but he still insisted on practicing Tai Chi: "Master Liu's suggestion, I will definitely pass it on to Master Jin, but I really can't guarantee whether Master Jin can agree to it!"
In the final analysis, Park Beixiu still shifted the responsibility to Kim Sang-heon first, and Kim Sang-heon's level, the people he dealt with were all senior officials at the level of Qian Tiandun and Wang Tom, and it was difficult for Liu Shang and Fu Li to have the opportunity to discuss with Kim Sang-heon face to face. Solutions to immigration issues.
Pu Beixiu probably felt sorry for rejecting Liu Shang twice and three times, so he proposed a compromise method: "Actually, if your country just wants to recruit some special talents from your own country, then you don't need to spend so much trouble... Recruit the base first Be a laborer, and then find an excuse to send people away. Every month, there will always be some people who can't survive, what do you two adults think?"
Pu Beixiu said that Haihan had already thought of this method, as long as the two sides agree to cross out the immigrant from the labor registration documents, note a reason for illness or accidental death, and then send it to another place for a new look. It is enough to live under the rule of Hai Han.Of course, this method cannot be operated on a large scale. It can only solve the problem of immigration and nationality change of a small number of people. In this way, Park Beixiu can choose to pretend to be blind without taking too much responsibility for it.
Of course, this cannot fundamentally solve Haihan’s demand for the introduction of North Korean immigrants. If North Koreans are to be naturalized in this way, either Haihan chooses to endure the low immigration efficiency, or the North Korean labor rate in the Datongjiang base will definitely be lost. It will rise to an astonishing level, and people with a discerning eye will find problems when they look at the monthly statistics. When these small tricks are exposed, it will be difficult to negotiate with Kim Sang-heon.
Liu Shang shook his head and said: "Although this move is feasible, it is unnecessary. Our country still hopes to reach a consensus at the official level to solve the immigration problem once and for all."
In fact, Liu Shang had already asked Qian Tiandun and others for their opinions on this earlier, but the big figures above disdain to use this kind of gray means to solve the problem, but asked him to come up with a reasonable solution as much as possible, preferably to make the two The United States sat down to sign a formal agreement, so that future immigration work can have a law to follow.
In fact, Haihan did not pay so much attention to overseas affairs before. During the Annan Civil War, war refugees were transported away from the coast near Tsinghua one by one. During the war in Denglai, Shandong, the same method was used in Daming. But the problem is that when Haihan took this measure, he had not yet established formal diplomatic relations with the country concerned, and after the establishment of diplomatic relations, Haihan would no longer use this simple and rude method to collect immigrants, so as not to damage the existing diplomatic relations.
Haihan and North Korea established diplomatic relations before, and they are considered allies in name. If you want to recruit immigrants from North Korea, you must greet the host to obtain permission. If you take advantage of the Korean war to transport a large number of refugees away, it will definitely make the North Korean authorities feel disgusted. , thus affecting the relationship between the two countries, this is not cost-effective in Haihan's view.Therefore, even though there are many homeless North Koreans inside and outside the Taedongjiang base, the civil affairs department of Haihan still complies with the earlier agreement between the two countries to register all North Koreans who enter the Taedongjiang base, and the North Korean officials will send people supervise.
Such measures are for North Korean officials to cooperate with confidence, to show that Haihan has no secret operation on the immigration issue, but at the same time, it also blocks Haihan's channel for recruiting immigrants from North Korea.That's why Liu Shang and Fu Li need to spend time trying to persuade Park Beixiu to change North Korea's attitude towards immigration from within. However, judging from the current situation, Park Beixiu obviously doesn't want to participate too much in this matter, and has always been intentional. dodge.
For Park Beixiu's attitude, Liu Shang can only understand it as insufficient conditions. He doesn't believe that a guy who dares to make money in a project like the Datongjiang Base is a coward who is afraid of trouble people.But Liu Shang is still a little unsure about what kind of conditions to offer to make Pu Beixiu tempted.
Although Liu Shang now has a lot of authority, it is mainly for internal management, and matters involving diplomatic level are beyond the scope of his authority, so he definitely dare not make decisions without authorization.Fu Li's authority in this area must be greater than his, but the two of them hadn't had an in-depth discussion on this before, so they didn't have any negotiated conditions that they could immediately bargain with Park Beixiu.
Fu Li probably thought of the same question, turned his head and exchanged glances with Liu Shang, the two nodded slightly in tacit understanding, and Liu Shang said to Pu Beixiu: "Master Park, since this matter is not suitable for the time being, If you don’t know how to do it, then let’s put it aside and not mention it. But while my mind is still clear at the moment, Director Fu and I still have something to discuss with Mr. Park.”
Pu Beixiu said: "Master Liu, please tell me."
Liu Shang was silent, but his eyes flicked back and forth on the faces of Cui Ren and Shen Zhe.How could a person like Pu Beixiu not understand what he meant, and immediately ordered: "Go to the kitchen and have a look, and ask someone to add some hot dishes."
After sending the two subordinates away, Pu Beixiu looked at Liu Shang again.Liu Shang didn't want to be tricky anymore, and said straight to the point: "Our country hopes to win the immigration agreement as soon as possible. If Mr. Park is willing to contribute to it, our country can also give a certain amount of reward."
The word "return" sounded very motivating to Pu Beixiu's ears. Pu Beixiu raised his eyebrows and asked in a pretentiously puzzled manner, "I don't know what Master Liu means by 'return'?"
Liu Shang smiled and said, "Then please ask Director Fu to explain to Mr. Park."
Regarding the introduction of immigrants from North Korea, Fu Li did receive instructions from Fort Victory before departing from Sanya, allowing him to perform diplomatic functions on behalf of Hai Han when necessary.As for the direction of this so-called diplomatic function, it is natural to try to bribe North Korean officials.
Haihan also has a set of standardized operating plans for buying foreign officials. From sending money directly to secretly transferring benefits, to assisting his domestic officialdom and even internationally, there are many options for different situations.Officials like Park Beixiu who are greedy for money and interests are the most common and easy to buy. From the conversation just now, Fu Li thinks that what he is afraid of is his boss. How to convey benefits without being noticed by his boss? , which may become the key to determining its attitude.
Fu Li first asked a question: "I don't know how much Mr. Park knows about Haihan Bank, which is about to start operating in your country?"
Pu Beixiu replied: "As far as I know, this institution is a bank bank operated by the government of your country. I wonder if I understand it correctly?"
Fu Li smiled and nodded in response: "That's roughly the case. Haihan Bank's source of funds is the national treasury. Our country is rich in the South my country Sea, and the world knows it, so the property stored in the bank is very safe. If Mr. Park is willing, Haihan Bank will You can set up a special account for adults, and in the future, no matter whether you are in North Korea or other overseas countries, as long as there is Haihan Bank, you can withdraw money from the account at any time. How do you like it, Master Park?"
Pu Beixiu understood Fu Li's meaning. Of course, this was not just as simple as setting up an account, but made it clear that he would send money to him through this secret account.But Pu Beixiu still didn't dare to agree immediately, but pretended to be puzzled and said: "It's unlikely that I will leave North Korea. It doesn't seem to be of any use to me if there is no withdrawal of money from a foreign country?"
