The Son of Finance of the Great Age

  Chapter 331 Economic Espionage

   "This chair is still the most comfortable!"

  The complacent Park Hee Lai sat contentedly on the armchair that symbolized the position of the central bank governor, with a thick cigar in his hand, and said leisurely while puffing on the clouds.

  A few days ago, he was still worried about the independence of the Bank of Korea, and felt extremely painful about his powerlessness. But things soon took a 180-degree turn. After a demonstration and protest, the whole situation was immediately reversed. The Bank of Korea, which was originally a tasteless one in the eyes of those political bosses, suddenly became a Sweet potato, public opinion has also begun to turn around, calling on members of Congress to respect the opinions of the Bank of Korea, after all, they are professionals.

  According to the recent news from the forces behind him, the financial reform plan that the South Korean government plans to push in the near future is very likely not to be passed in the parliament, which is undoubtedly a great benefit. However, the forces behind him also warned that they must be prepared not to be able to continue to support the Korean won.

  Park Hee-rae was nominated as the governor of the Bank of Korea and passed by the National Assembly. Naturally, there is a political force behind it. To be precise, he is a representative of a group with less obvious factional colors. Although they are considered to be one of the affiliated factions of the ruling New Korea Party in the National Assembly, Park Hee-rae, as a senior party member, knows very well that this At the same time, the group also has inextricably linked with the New Politics National Congress Party in private. To be precise, this is a force that wanders among various political factions and can be accepted by all parties.

  Now that the South Korean economy is in trouble, it just gives the opposition party an excellent opportunity to attack the ruling party, the New Korea Party. Under such circumstances, many opposition parties, including the New Politics National Congress Party, the Grand National Party, and the National New Party, have come together to criticize the economic policies of the Kim Young-sam government and the New Korea Party, in an attempt to bring down the country that has ruled South Korea for five years. The decade-old Conservative Party is down.

   This time, Bank of Korea employees took to the streets to protest. It is believed by the outside world that there are cracks in the New Korea Party, that is, the enlightened people inside the New Korea Party strongly rebounded from the government’s plan to restore control.

It’s just that Park Hee-rae himself is very clear that this is not only a backlash against government control, but also a stand-up by the forces behind him. Since the Bank of Korea staff took to the streets to parade, they have openly torn face with the New Korea Party and stood naked. on the opposing side.

  Although this kind of rebellious behavior is chilling, before the general election, the parties that want to be in power can only selectively ignore this behavior. If they want to come to power, they must unite all possible forces as much as possible.

  The number of people requesting to meet with Park Xilai these days has continued unabated. Even after he planned the demonstrations and protests, the number of visits not only did not decrease, but even increased in status and level.

Kim Dae-jung, one of the party candidates of the New Politics National Convention Party, Lee Hoi-chang, one of the presidential candidates of the Grand National Party, and Lee In-je, the presidential candidate of the National New Party, all came to the headquarters of South Korea, either publicly or publicly. It was a private meeting with Park Hee Rae.

Thinking of this, Park Xilai's heart was full of enthusiasm. Originally, he was just an inconspicuous role among his own forces, but now he has transformed into a bridge to communicate with various political factions. The bridgehead of the power.

   All this is thanks to the confidant Xu Youtian in front of him. If there were no demonstrations and demonstrations planned by him, I am afraid that he is still distressed about which side the Bank of Korea will choose.

   It is precisely because of this action that in a sense, the forces behind Park Xilai are forced to stand in line, so that he is in a situation like a fish in water today, for which Park Xilai is deeply grateful.

  However, for the superiors, this kind of gratitude cannot be expressed, which is the common sense of the imperial servants. One is to prevent them from relying on their merits, and the other is to maintain their inscrutable image, so that they cannot be underestimated in their hearts.

Although he had a straight face, the smile in his eyes could not be concealed. Park Xilai said to Xu Youtian who was sitting in front of him respectfully, "Youtian, this time we were able to turn the situation around, and you contributed a lot. Said Well, what position you want, as long as you ask, it's just a question from me."

   It seems to be a reward based on merit, but in fact Park Xilai has laid a trap. He wants to see if this confidant knows whether to advance or retreat. If Xu Youtian speaks loudly at this time, although Park Xilai may still satisfy him in the end, he may gradually alienate him in the future. After all, a subordinate who does not know how to advance or retreat is not easy to control, and there may be some troubles someday. Come.

   Now is a sensitive moment, even Park Hee Lai, who is proud of himself, has to be cautious, after all, he is just a small central bank governor.

Xu Youtian was a little astonished at first, and then immediately put on an overjoyed expression, as if he didn't hear the meaning behind Park Xilai's words, but after being coy for a long time, he tentatively said: "That... the first section of the Currency Administration The boss seems to be in poor health recently, can the president consider letting him step down first?"

  After he didn't hear the expected evasion words, Park Xilai felt a little dissatisfied in his heart, but when he heard what Xu Youtian said again, that little dissatisfaction was immediately wiped out.

  Originally, Xu Youtian's position was the deputy chief of the first section of the Monetary Administration. Now that he is promoted to a higher level, it is hard for anyone to say anything, after all, the level is still too low. And Xu Youtian also gave him an excuse at the right time. Jin Zhongshu, the chief of the first department, was indeed too old. Xu Youtian is in charge of Ke's daily work, and now he just takes this opportunity to take the position, and no one else can say anything.

Although he had already made up his mind, Park Xilai still had to put on a posture of thinking. After pondering for a long time, he frowned and said: "That's it! Things are a bit tricky. You must know that the Currency Administration has always been Luo Xuan and the others. The department in control, now hastily promoted you, maybe those old guys will object, you know, I am also very embarrassed to face those old guys!"

   "Embarrassing? Embarrassing you Shiba!" Xu Youtian cursed inwardly. Although Park Hee Lai and the gang of old guys from the Finance and Currency Management Committee are usually at odds, they are almost in the same camp and have a common opponent. In this case, this so-called "senior" Xu Youtian was very chilled by the fact that the president of the "community" still showed embarrassment and did not forget to beat himself.

   But the situation is stronger than people, who made himself too low? Xu Youtian quickly adjusted his position, rubbed his palms back and forth a few times, and said unwillingly, "If...if you really embarrass Mr. President, then...then forget it!"

   When he said these words, he did not know how many times he had greeted Park Xilai's immediate family members of his ancestors, but his face still showed a look of consideration for Shangfeng and unwillingness. This expression looks very complicated, with unwillingness, helplessness, regret, annoyance, and even a little bit of gnashing of teeth.

  Being able to mix so many expressions together, Xu Youtian's acting skills can win the Best Actor of the Blue Dragon Award.

Park Xilai was very satisfied with his reaction and statement. Now that the purpose of beating had been achieved, he no longer continued to make decisions. He changed his tone and said lightly: "How can this be done? If you have meritorious service, you can't be rewarded." , then who will advise me in the future? Well, let me communicate with that old guy Luo Xuan first. If it really doesn’t work, I will get this position for you even if I tear myself apart from them. What do you think? ?”

Xu Youtian's originally disappointed expression immediately became brilliant again. At first he couldn't believe it, and stared at Park Hee Lai with rounded eyes; then he grinned and smiled; The face that was about to cry almost burst into tears on the spot, choked up and said: "President, you are so kind to me, like my reborn parents, no, you are my biological parents..."

"Well, this guy is good and worth cultivating!" Park Xilai was very satisfied with Xu Youtian's reaction, but after thinking about it, he felt that he had heard what Xu Youtian said before. After thinking for a while, he suddenly realized, "Asshole, dog Damn, isn’t this the only way this guy compliments people? Didn’t this **** just use this set of words to compliment me two days ago? Couldn’t he invent something new? "

  Although he was slightly dissatisfied, Park Xilai didn't bother to care about these small details at this time. He picked up the phone in front of the desk and planned to call Luo Xuan.

   At this moment, there was a loud noise outside the door, and while Pu Xilai and Xu Youtian were dumbfounded, the paulownia door of the president's office was slammed open. Before they could react, several figures rushed in. As soon as these people came in, they raised their guns and aimed at Xu Youtian, shouting loudly: "Don't move!"

"What... what's going on here?" Park Xilai, who came back to his senses, was stunned for a moment, and then he became furious, stood up angrily, slammed the table suddenly, and shouted loudly: "You bastards, how can you even How dare you break into my office without saying hello? You know, even the head of the National Police Agency of the Republic of Korea dare not treat me like this!"

He naturally took it for granted that these men in black with guns were employees of the Korean National Police Agency. You must know that although Park Xilai's official position is not high, he is not an ordinary policeman who can move. Aiming at the situation, Park Xilai became angry instead of surprised, and reprimanded him sharply.

"Really?" A middle-aged man in a windbreaker walked in unhurriedly, glanced at Park Xilai with a little arrogance, and said in a tone-deaf way, "I'm afraid the police department can't take it." How about President Park, but what about our National Intelligence Service?"

  Korea National Intelligence Agency is South Korea's intelligence and national security agency. It was established in 1961. It was originally modeled on the CIA model of the US Central Intelligence Agency, and the CIA also served as an intelligence consultant for a long time. Since the Korean peninsula was divided into two countries after World War II, the main work of the intelligence service is to deal with North Korea.

   "National Intelligence Service?" Park Xilai shuddered all over, and his tone of voice subconsciously dropped, "But, didn't you only deal with those from the north? Why did you come to me?"

  He naturally knows what kind of agency the South Korean National Intelligence Service is.

"Huh! Frog in the well!" The middle-aged man snorted coldly, waved his hand casually, and his subordinates immediately understood, and after driving away all the irrelevant people who heard the sound gathered outside the president's office, he said in a low voice : "We are from the Department of Internal Affairs, and now we suspect that your employee, Mr. Xu Youtian, has colluded with overseas financial institutions, illegally acted as economic spies for others, and is suspected of leaking state secrets, seriously endangering national security. Now I want to take him away, how about it, Mr. Park Xilai, do you have any objection?"

   "Leaking state secrets?" Park Xilai was taken aback for a moment, and looked suspiciously at Xu Youtian, who was already shaking like a sieve, "This, of course, is gone!"

  Although Xu Youtian is his number one confidant, he does not dare to have any opinion on matters related to national security.

"President, you have to save me!" This time Xu Youtian was really tearful and tearful, without the slightest part of acting, he knelt down on the ground with a "plop", and kowtowed like garlic , choked up in his mouth and said: "They are making something out of nothing, framing a good person! You know, if I'm going to enter that kind of place, it will be difficult to get out alive! President, you can't just ignore death!"

   Pu Xilai, who couldn't figure out what was going on, hesitated for a while.

  The middle-aged man from the Intelligence Agency frowned when he saw this scene, and waved his hands again. Then two men in black came forward, picked up the limp Xu Youtian from left to right, and dragged him outside.

   "President, they really want to frame you, political conspiracy!" Although he was framed, Xu Youtian's mouth was not blocked, and he still yelled loudly. It's just that right after he finished saying this, another man in black came over, picked up a piece of rag that he didn't know where it came from, and stuffed it into his mouth involuntarily. The whole world immediately became quiet, but there was still Xu Youtian's wail of "woo woo".

"President Park, excuse me! Maybe we will meet again soon!" Seeing that the person has already been obtained, the middle-aged man did not stop for a while, nodded slightly to Park Xilai, and left a sentence with a deep meaning behind him. , led a group of subordinates to walk away.
