Chapter 1144: A trip to Nanyang in a turbulent time (second update, please subscribe)
In 1959, Shuangmendong, Daofeng District, Seoul.
In the room, several children were sitting around the TV, staring eagerly at the picture on the screen.
Although the sound coming from the TV is in Mandarin, and although there are Korean subtitles underneath, these children are paying more attention to the picture, and their eyes are full of fascination.
In the past half month, this "Legend of White Snake" has become popular throughout East Asia, from Nanyang to South Korea, from Japan to Malaya and Singapore. Every time it is played, all TV sets In front of the venue, there will be crowds of spectators.
This costume drama filmed by Asia Television has been sought after by all parties as soon as it was released. Of course, what they don't know is that the outline of the script of this TV drama was written by Li Yi'an.
The reason why such a costume drama is filmed is also for publicity. After all, Nanyang cannot always present its modern side to the world.
Nanyang also needs to show its classical side, so costume dramas have become an option. But filming what kind of costume drama has become a very difficult thing.
Among the many costume dramas, Li Yi'an finally chose "The Legend of the White Snake".
Actually, the reason why I chose "The New Legend of White Snake" is not only because the story of White Snake is familiar to the world and can easily arouse resonance from all walks of life. It can be said that people in the entire Chinese cultural circle are very familiar with this story. .
They are more likely to accept the story, and then influence them in a subtle way. This is the real purpose.
If it were to be a TV series like "The Hero Fearless". That is purely to create trouble for myself, and it cannot awaken the national consciousness of other countries like South Korea.
So in comparison, "The Legend of White Snake" has become the best choice. It can both spread culture. It will also not cause other negative effects.
This kind of negativity is the cultural export of Nanyang. Nanyang needs to expand its influence through appropriate cultural export.
Although the filming of this TV series was very rough due to stunts, it was still welcomed by the market.
It is not only extremely popular in places such as Nanyang Hong Kong Island, but also in South Korea and Japan. Many people use this TV series, including the theme song in the TV series.
Even though there are not many TV sets in South Korea and Japan, wherever there are TV sets, there will always be crowds of people in front of the TV sets whenever "The Legend of White Snake" is played.
People just watch TV and watch the wonderful TV series on the TV. The only regret is that it is not Zhao Yazhi who plays the role of White Snake. She is only in kindergarten now.
Of course, people in this era don’t know this at all, they are just immersed in this wonderful story. Of course, Bai Suzhen, played by Zhu Hong, has become a goddess in the hearts of many people. She has just turned eighteen and became famous because of it.
“I have to wait for a thousand years, wait for a while, wait for a thousand years, I have no regrets...”
As the theme song played at the end of the film, a group of children reluctantly looked away from the TV, and then talked about the previous plot and speculated on tomorrow's plot.
While the children were discussing the plot, Zheng Guilu, who had just returned home, handed his coat to his wife, loosened his tie and asked.
"Where's Bao'er?"
"I'm watching TV with Xiyan and the others upstairs."
Nodding, Zheng Guilu said:
"Just send the food to the study later. I still have some things to do."
After that, he carried the briefcase into the study. Unlike the eldest brother who opened the factory, Zheng Guilu After graduating from Overseas Chinese High School, he joined Samsung C&T. As an overseas Chinese from Han and Tang Dynasties, he was placed in high regard as soon as he entered the company. In just six years, he was promoted from intern to section chief. Although he had just joined the middle-level, he was among the But he has experienced multiple levels of ordinary club members, directors, agents and department heads.
The twenty-four-year-old section chief is rare in Samsung C&T. For his promotion, more people attribute it to his status as a Tang overseas Chinese - because he is a Tang overseas Chinese, he is favored by Nanyang representatives. Like many Korean companies, 50% of Samsung C&T’s shares belong to Nanyang Capital, and there are many Nanyang Capital representatives on the board of directors. Compared with Koreans, they prefer to appoint Tang Qiao.
Even the Tang overseas Chinese are regarded as a bridge of communication with South Korea - the Tang overseas Chinese in Korea understand the Tang people better than the Koreans, and they also understand the Koreans better than the Tang people. This is their advantage. Because of this, there are very few 24-year-old high school-graduate section chiefs like Zheng Guilu in the entire Seoul.
In order to prove himself, Zheng Guilu spends a lot of time working every day to ensure that his work is impeccable.
"The key is to expand overseas markets and earn U.S. dollars!"
Writing the word "U.S. dollars" hard on the paper, Zheng Guilu then wrote about textiles, toys and other products, Samsung has Textile factories, but most of the products they produce are self-produced and sold. Today, South Korea relies on imports for everything. Although Seoul now has thousands of factories, most of the products are imported substitutes, and only a handful of companies produce export goods.
“It’s really meaningless to earn Korean won. Only U.S. dollars have a future!”
While talking to himself, Zheng Guilu’s pen in his hand never stopped, and he kept writing. His proposals, ranging from setting up garment factories for export, to exporting labor services abroad, and cooperating with construction companies in Nanyang, etc., eventually formed a complete report.
What is the core of this report?
While developing the import substitution industry, we are also developing foreign trade to "earn US dollars"!
Only the US dollar can promote the development of Samsung.
While Zheng Guilu was racking his brains to conceive of his plan to "earn US dollars", at the Seoul Airport, a group of officers in military uniforms were passing through customs. Although the leader was a major general, they were not Any preferential treatment.
As we all know, today's military officers are basically a bunch of poor people who want status but not status, and money but not money. The same is true for generals. But unlike ordinary people, they have the opportunity to go abroad.
Not only do you have the opportunity to train in the United States, you even have the opportunity to train in Nanyang or visit and exchange. And this group of officers came to visit Nanyang. Such an opportunity is still very enviable.
Soon, the group of people got on the plane. The plane was only a regular cabin, and it was an Air Borneo C717. Although South Korea's national airline was founded twelve years ago, Korean Air, which only has a few aircraft, has not opened any international routes at all. The few international routes in South Korea are all operated by Borneo Airlines.
"Division Commander, the plane will take off in a moment."
"Yes,"
Nodding, Park Chung-hee looked out the window - the simple airport, foreign aircraft. This is Korea!
Poverty and backwardness, when this word came to Park Zhengxi's mind, the plane slowly took off. The plane took off from Tokyo, transited through Seoul, and then transited in Wanbei, and then flew directly to Chang'an.
This is also a sign of South Korea's poverty - there is not even a direct flight to Nanyang.
For this, Park Chung-hee couldn't do much, that is, he lamented in his heart the failure of South Korea's construction for many years. However, when passing through Wanbei, his goal was to Wanbei. Unlike South Korea, The construction here is actually faster, although it is not as good as Fukuoka - Fukuoka enjoyed the war dividends of the Peninsular War, but what about Baybei?
Benefiting from investment from Nanyang, capital from Nanyang has promoted the development here. This is true in Kyushu, Hong Kong Island, Malaya, Mindanao and other places, even if South Korea is no exception. Nanyang's capital helped South Korea get out of the most difficult period after the war.
The investment in Nanyang also brings about a problem - Nanyangization.
The Nanyang style, represented by Chinese characters, has become popular in Korea, and there are even more and more Chinese character classes in primary schools. Almost no one is willing to learn Korean, and there is no motivation to learn it, because learning Chinese and Chinese characters has the opportunity to Go to Nanyang.
As for the TV, the news and TV dramas from Nanyang are also shown on the TV, and the movies in the cinema are also from Nanyang.
However, because Koreans are too poor, not many people have TVs at all, and not many people can afford to watch movies, but the music played on the radio is Nanyang songs.
"Nanyang!"
Muttering this word in his heart, Park Chung-hee frowned, and the plane continued southward. When it arrived in Nanyang, like many people, Park Chung-hee also couldn't bear it. He couldn't help but look out the window. Unlike others who were surprised when they saw the skyscrapers in Chang'an, he just stared at Chang'an silently without showing much emotion.
Ten minutes later, Park Chung-hee and his party walked out of the airport. The liaison major of the Nanyang Ministry of National Defense who came to greet them asked them to get on a military bus and said specifically to them.
"Welcome to Nanyang. Let's take a good rest today. Tomorrow, we will visit the First Mountain Brigade."
Park Chung-hee, the commander of the 7th Division , came to Nanyang for a visit and inspection, and the focus of the inspection was the construction of mountain troops in Nanyang. Although Nanyang is a tropical rainforest area, Nanyang is also mountainous, so there is a mountain brigade in its establishment, and for South Korea, which has many mountains, It is very useful for reference, and the mountain troops in Nanyang are trained by German officers who have served in the German mountain troops.
Park Chung-hee stood up quickly and said politely:
“I’m sorry for your trouble.”
His Mandarin had a Northeastern accent, which surprised the receptionist and said.
“Been to the Northeast?”
“I’m really ashamed. During the Japanese colonial era, I served in the puppet Manchukuo army.”
The reception major looked at me The major general took a look and saw that many generals in the Korean army had served in the Japanese army or the puppet Manchukuo army, and then said.
“This is all in the past.”
Then, they changed the subject. The military bus was driving along the road. Along the way, more than a dozen Korean generals and officers were more amazed when facing the prosperity of Chang'an. Even Park Chung-hee looked like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden. appearance.
The receiving officer acted as a tour guide, introducing them to the names and heights of the buildings on the roadside from time to time. For many foreigners, especially those from Japan, South Korea and other places, their favorite thing is high-rise buildings.
In their eyes, high-rise buildings are modernization and a symbol of wealth and strength, so just introduce them to them, because the military has corresponding levels of reception standards. In the end, these people were arranged The Pacific Hotel in Chang'an has a slightly lower grade than the Peace Hotel and other hotels, but it is also a five-star hotel.
After the group settled in, the generals and officers in the guest room were all surprised by the facilities in the room.
They were amazed by Simmons mattresses, flush toilets, and even televisions and 24-hour hot water. It seemed that all of these were not available in South Korea.
In fact, South Korea also has these, but they definitely do not belong to these officers.
As the highest-ranking general in the visiting group, Park Chung-hee was able to have a room alone. He was in the room, standing by the window, staring quietly out of the window. Although dusk had not yet fallen, He just stared at Chang'an outside the window, at the skyscrapers, and the ships in the distance. Most of those ships were container ships, an invention of Nanyang!
Watching all this, Park Chung-hee said softly.
"It only took them thirteen years to build such a prosperous city in Nanyang, and the "Miracle of Nanyang" shocked the world. We Koreans can do the same, why can't we? ? We Koreans are no worse than the people of the Tang Dynasty!"
While thinking this in his heart, Park Zhengxi's eyes were filled with some kind of unconcealable expectation, or expectation, he hoped that one day, Seoul It can be as prosperous as Chang'an, and South Korea can be as prosperous and powerful as Nanyang.
"Yes, what you said is true. We Koreans are no worse than the Tang people. If they can do it, we can do it too!"
Jin Zaigui, who was traveling with him, said from the side, although he You are the vice-president of the Army University, and his military rank is also that of brigadier general, but Park Chung-hee is the commander of the actual division, and his status is much higher than him.
However, the relationship between the two of them is very close, and it is not a simple relationship between colleagues. Kim Jae-gyu is Park Chung-hee's hometownmate and is 9 years younger than him, but the two became classmates in the same class at the military academy.
Because of his age, he naturally calls himself a junior in front of him.
Nodding slightly, Park Chung-hee looked at Kim Jae-gyu and said:
"Yes, we can definitely do it, but we have been delayed for too long!"
In fact, compared to going to Nanyang for a military inspection, for Park Chung-hee. He also hopes to inspect the economy here and explore the secrets of Nanyang's economic rise.
“For South Korea now, economic development is the most important thing. If the economy does not develop, then even if there is an army, South Korea can barely maintain its existence. Once the US military withdraws, North Korea will The puppets will invade immediately, and by then, South Korea will not be able to escape the fate of destruction. After all, the starving people will never support us. They will definitely fall to the puppets of the North. "
Listen. When Kim Jae-kyu nodded in agreement with Park Chung-hee's analysis, he said with regret:
"Yes, it's a pity that we are only soldiers. Even if we discover this, we can't change everything!"
< br>
After that, Jin Zaigui let out a long and feeble sigh, and at this moment Park Zhengxi stood by the window, staring out the window, staring silently, only the strength of his hand holding the window sill seemed to be reminding the owner of something. .
On this day and night, for Park Chung-hee, who came to Nanyang for the first time, he could not sleep for a long time. All he could think about was South Korea, how to get South Korea out of poverty and move toward Prosperity!
However, the next day, he was still full of energy and went to visit the training camp of the mountain troops and participated in it personally. Like other soldiers, he looked extremely focused...
