Chapter 2680

Shi Chengwudao: "If we take the lead in organizing and coordinating this matter on behalf of the government, do you think it will be successful?"

Fu Guoqing said: "Master Shi, the difficulty now is not who should lead the organization, but the difficulty of coming up with a cost allocation plan that will satisfy the public. If Master Shi comes forward, naturally no one will object, but when it comes to paying, When the time comes, they will inevitably blame each other until the mission leaves Busan, and then it will return to the previous situation.”

Shi Chengwu was silent after hearing this. On the way to Busan, everyone actually discussed how to solve the security problems faced by Haihan in Busan. Everyone agreed that a dedicated security force must be established in Busan to effectively improve the local situation.

Sending more troops to the Busan area is of course the simplest way, and it should also have a certain deterrent effect. However, there will always be a lot of inconvenience for the military to take action in foreign countries, and the cost of stationing troops overseas is quite high. In recent years, Haihan has been continuously reducing the scale of troops stationed in allied countries.

If it is necessary to deploy troops in Busan for a long time in order to solve the public security problem, it will be suspected of making a fuss out of a molehill, and the actual effect will be very worrying. Even if the mission proposes garrisoning troops to the Ministry of National Defense, most of them will be rejected without any suspense.

Since garrisoning is not an option, then taking the lead from the government and organizing a militia to serve Haihan commercial institutions is probably the most ideal solution.

Originally, Golden Shield was a professional security force responsible for such tasks. However, due to various objective reasons, the branch in Busan was still unable to meet local needs, so we had to find another way. But what Fu Guoqing said seemed to face many difficulties in organizing manpower on their own, and implementation was not as easy as they thought.

But think about it for the same reason. Haihan merchants who can gain a foothold in Busan must not be stupid. How could such a simple method not be thought of? If it has not been promoted, there must be some problems that are difficult to solve. It wasn't until Fu Guoqing explained the situation that they understood the reason.

Tao Hongfang said: "In this case, can we summon the local Haihan merchants as soon as possible, let us explain the stakes, try to persuade them to change their minds, and organize a private security force as soon as possible."

Fu Guoqing said: "It's not difficult. The local chamber of commerce originally planned to hold a reception banquet for the mission tomorrow, and local celebrities should be present. But I don't dare to guarantee how much they will listen."< br>


It is obviously not the first time that Fu Guoqing has engaged in such work, but several previous attempts to persuade him have failed to achieve the desired results, so he is not optimistic that the mission can change the minds of the businessmen through one or two meetings - unless What conditions could the mission offer that he did not possess to convince those businessmen.

What arrived earlier than the reception banquet of the Haihan Chamber of Commerce was a large pile of files sent by the local government. Facing this three-foot-thick dossier, everyone in the mission took a deep breath. Although they had expected that there would be many security cases involving Haihan, they did not expect that there would be so many files. Just reading it once would probably take several days.

However, these young officials in the mission are well-educated, and their work is naturally organized, even if they have a division of labor. Shi Chengwu, Wang Anguo, Ha Jianyi, and Ning Zijing were responsible for reading the files, Tao Hongfang and Bai Letong were responsible for classifying and sorting them, Fu Guoqing acted as a Q&A consultant, and Zhu Zian still did paperwork and miscellaneous tasks.

All cases are first classified according to whether they are closed, and then the unclosed files are classified according to the nature of the case. The mission's stay in Busan is limited, and it is impossible to review every case one by one. It can only focus on cases that have not yet been closed. After spending most of the day looking at it, it turned out that these cases were basically consistent with Fu Guoqing's previous introduction. Most of them were public security incidents caused by conflicts of interest with North Korea and Japan.

Many of these cases involve cross-border interest disputes. It is indeed difficult for local officials to clearly determine the case. However, if a Haihan person suffers personal injury in a case, the government will usually judge Haihan's party as the victim and will not go further. Investigate the root cause of the case. The reason why the case is not closed in the end is often because the government is unable to arrest the criminal.

Fu Guoqing had previously mentioned some reasons why the government was unable to arrest the criminals. These reasons were understandable to the Haihan Mission, but they would certainly not agree with them.

The local government has insufficient capabilities, but to use the armed forces currently coming to Busan Port to clear up these cases is really an overkill move, and it may not lead to good results. For example, in those security cases that occurred a year or two ago, the criminals no longer know where they have gone, and there is no way to arrest them.

Moreover, if the Haihan Army is deployed in a large scale in Busan, even if the diplomatic aspect is put aside, it will inevitably affect the local hard-won trade environment. Once trade activities are disrupted and forced to stop, the local Haihan industry will also suffer huge losses.

At present, it seems that the mission's pressure on local officials still has a certain effect. At least up to now, they are relatively cooperative, and the requested files have been duly delivered. However, the government's ability to handle such incidents is obviously limited. If we want to try to avoid such incidents in the future, we probably have to focus on building our own security forces.

In the evening of the same day, the local Haihan Chamber of Commerce held a welcome banquet for the mission at a restaurant in the port area. In terms of the level of the banquet, the quality of this banquet far exceeded the official banquet prepared by the local government the day before yesterday. How could the so-called "set meal" with a table full of various pickles compare to the extremely rich content and taste? Haihan cuisine.

It can be said that those who are qualified to serve at such an occasion today have some background. These people were well-informed and had already learned about the composition of the Haihan Mission before the fleet arrived in Busan. Naturally, they had to put more thought into the reception work and try their best to perform. If you are lucky enough to establish a relationship with these young nobles, and even gain their favor, you will not have to worry about future prosperity.

As half of the host, Fu Guoqing introduced the president of the local Haihan Chamber of Commerce, a man named Zhang Fengchu, to the delegation before taking his seat.

"President Zhang is from Huizhou. He has been here in Busan for almost ten years and is involved in all walks of life. For example, the Dongfeng Building where the banquet is held today is also an industry under President Zhang's name." Fu Guoqing said concisely and comprehensively. He introduced the origin of the president of the Chamber of Commerce.

Zhang Fengchu naturally did not dare to put on airs in front of this group of real noble gentlemen, and quickly bowed to everyone.
