Chapter 1516 Isn’t This a Scam?
Chapter 1518 Isn't this a scam? This is not it!
For this bid for the Games, South Korea is determined to win.
Lee Jae-hoon is the leading figure.
Before, he went to Athens in person and used "dollars" and "beauties" to successfully "persuade" local officials to agree to give up and withdraw from the bid in the next year's bid vote.
Now he has come to Austria, with the same plan.
Even for this, Seoul allocated a special event fund, just to use some special means to make Athens and Melbourne give up the 1988 Games.
At this time, Lee Jae-hoon was quite proud. It turned out that money can make the devil push the mill. Faced with the bombing of the US dollar, both Athens and Melbourne surrendered obediently.
He even imagined that he would become a hero after returning this time.
After Athens and Melbourne withdrew, Seoul, the only remaining city, would undoubtedly obtain the qualification to host the 1988 Games.
However, at this time, a South Korean youth in a suit came in quickly from outside.
A glance saw Lee Jae-hoon holding a glass and walked over quickly.
Li Zaixun also found this person, said "sorry" to the two white people, turned around and walked towards the young man, frowning and said: "What's the matter?"
The young man's expression was serious, and he lowered his voice and said: "Deputy Minister, I just received a message from the headquarters of the Games Committee in Lausanne, Switzerland. Two hours ago, Huaguo Jingcheng officially submitted an application to host the 88th Games..."
Li Zaixun's head was buzzing when he heard it.
He blinked quickly, wondering if he had heard it wrong. What the hell is this!
Since you want to apply for the Games, why did you do it earlier? Isn't this cheating people~ This is not it!
In order to win the right to host this Games, South Korea has invested a lot of money, and it is determined to win.
But the problem is that Athens and Melbourne can find a way, but what about Jingcheng?
Take money? They need your money?
In fact, even Athens and Melbourne don't lack the millions of dollars. The only people they use money for are key people. If they make trouble at the key place, they can mess things up.
The so-called failure is more than success, this is it.
But in Beijing, this method is completely unusable.
Li Jae-hoon's mood fell from the sky to the bottom of the valley in an instant, and his brows were almost twisted into a knot.
Things are difficult!
...
At the same time, Beijing, thousands of kilometers away, announced that it would take over the 1982 Asian Games and launched the "Welcome the Asian Games, Promote Construction" activity.
At this moment, unprecedented high efficiency was demonstrated, with rapid planning, rapid approval, rapid design, and rapid construction.
Multiple departments were integrated under a temporary command group, and they started to operate rapidly at the command.
According to the original plan, Beijing was going to build a modern new urban area in the north of the city.
It was still under discussion before, and this time it happened to be combined with the Asian Games Village, which could save a lot of procedural troubles.
Then there is the construction of various venues. With less than two years, it is definitely too late to build a new main stadium. The only thing to do is to renovate the original Workers' Stadium as the venue for the opening and closing ceremonies.
But the design and site selection of the new stadium cannot be stopped, and preparations must be made for the 1988 Games a few years later.
As for the failure of the bid, how could it be possible?
…
That night, Lee Jae-hoon booked a flight ticket and flew back to South Korea.
It was five in the morning when he got off the plane, and it was already dawn.
Lee Jae-hoon pinched his nose tiredly, no longer as high-spirited as he was a day ago.
He looked at the expensive watch on his wrist. It was definitely too late to sleep at this time. He had to report to the All-China Youth League as soon as possible.
The reason why he was so aggressive in winning the right to host the 1988 Games this time was to build momentum for the All-China Youth League.
Before Park Jung-seo was assassinated, although he was also seeking to host the Games, he was not so determined to win.
After all, Seoul in South Korea has already confirmed that it will host the next Asian Games in 1986, which is already a great honor for South Korea.
But after Park Jung-seo's death, the newly-elected All-China Youth League urgently needs a greater achievement to prove his legitimacy to the people.
The All-China Youth League needs the honor of the 1988 Games. For South Korea, hosting such a world-class sports event will be an unprecedented honor.
Once the All Changes won the qualification, it was like putting on a layer of buff. For any South Korean, as long as they enjoyed the glory brought by the Games, they had to admit the legitimacy and legitimacy of the All Changes.
And before that, the difficulty and cost of this matter were not great.
But I never expected that the capital would suddenly intervene and catch them off guard.
Thinking of this, Lee Jae-hoon felt a headache.
Why did they suddenly hold a sports meeting? Why did it have to be in 1988~ Isn't 1992 good?
Coming out of the airport, Lee Jae-hoon got in the car and looked at the familiar road outside the car window, but he didn't want to face the next situation at all.
Unfortunately, that idea could only flash in his mind.
Soon, the car stopped at the side door of the Blue House.
Lee Jae-hoon took a deep breath and got out of the car, followed by an attendant.
Instead of going to the office of the All Changes, he came to a lawn.
A slightly bald middle-aged man in casual clothes was exercising. He was the All Changes who was currently in power.
Li Jae-hoon stood solemnly beside him with his lips pursed.
The officer who brought him over took a few steps closer and said nothing.
It wasn't until everyone had finished changing that they looked this way.
He wiped his sweat with a towel, came to Li Zaixun, and said calmly: "Tell me, what's going on?"
Li Zaixun bowed without saying anything: "Sir, I'm very sorry, I didn't expect..."
But before he could continue, he was interrupted by Quanquan: "I don't want to hear my apology. What are you going to do next?"
"This..." Li Zaixun was speechless for a moment, how did he know.
They all changed their towels and handed them to the entourage. They stared at Li Zaixun with hawk-like eyes: "I don't want to hear excuses. I only want the right to host the 1988 Games, no matter who the competitor is. Do you understand?"
Li Zaixun nodded quickly. No matter what he thought in his heart, his current attitude must be firm and clear.
But I already cursed my mother in my heart.
No matter who the opponent is, he is not afraid of Feng Da's tongue flashing.
That is the capital, the capital of flowers and fruits, not Athens or Melbourne.
We can't use those unflattering methods. Otherwise, when the H-8 goes on a patrol in the East, it will fly directly over South Korea without bypassing South Korea. Why aren't you afraid?
It's a pity that Li Zaixun only dared to think about these words in his heart, and he didn't dare to say them out loud, unless he didn't want to live anymore.
"Your Excellency, if this is the case..." Li Zaixun's ability to sit in this position at such a young age was not just due to nepotism, but also because of his ability and brains.
The thought in his mind was telegraphed, and he already had a response, and said in a serious way: "If you want to compete with the capital, I am afraid that off-the-table methods will not work. You must compete head-on with various software and hardware conditions, and strengthen public relations for each member with voting rights. This ...The original budget was probably..."
They all raised their eyebrows but did not speak immediately.
To be fair, Li Zaixun's words are not unreasonable. He said solemnly: "It's still up to you to go to Ruishi. If you need any funds, please contact Li Bingzhe directly."
Li Zaixun nodded immediately and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. At least he passed this test today.
When he came out, Li Zaixun realized that the shirt on his back was soaked.
But then a flash of joy flashed from his eyes.
As the saying goes, a blessing in disguise is a blessing in disguise.
This is what he is doing now.
Although I had a lot of funds in my hands before, the money was all used as normal government public relations expenses.
Although there is some oil and water here, to be honest, it is very limited.
This time it all gave him the right to directly ask Li Bingzhe for money, which was a bad debt.
Who is Lee Byung-cheol? He is the founder of the Four Star Group and the representative of South Korea’s chaebol economy.
Li Zaixun's eyes flickered, and he had already begun to figure out how much benefit he could get from it this time.
As for whether the application can be successful, it is no longer within his control, so it is better to get the money first.
In fact, when he received the order to fly back urgently last night, Li Jae-hoon had mostly thought about it.
This time, the bid to host the Games will most likely fail.
Counting on this as capital for promotion is most likely a luxury.
After all, the influence of flowers and fruits cannot be compared to that of a small South Korea.
Now, America and Su Lian have to give some face to each other, and coupled with Huaguo's own basic base in Nanyang and its influence in the third world, even if they cheat, they may not be able to win.
However, just when Li Zaixun was in a complicated mood and was about to go to Li Byung-cheol first, a big event happened in South Korea.
…
A few hours after Li Zaixun returned to Seoul, Du Fei received news in the capital.
Du Fei curled his lips as he looked at the telegram he had just received.
It’s true, what is supposed to come will always come.
Just this morning, protests against the total replacement in South Korea intensified, and fierce conflicts broke out especially in Gwangju City, Jeolla Province...
Du Fei knew what was going to happen.
In the world before he traveled, this incident was quite famous.
According to official figures, more than 4,000 casualties were caused this time, including more than 150 deaths.
But there are also rumors that the real death toll is more than 3,000.
Du Fei didn't care about the matter itself, but in his memory, the biggest opponent in bidding to host the 1988 Games was Seoul.
Coupled with the fact that South Korea has always resorted to all kinds of dirty methods, some things must be prepared for a rainy day.
It just so happens that what happened this time should let the whole world see their vicious faces.
This is obviously contrary to the spirit of the Games.
Then there is the previous request regarding labor stalls in South Korea.
Although in Du Fei's impression, people like Nan Gaoli are just soy sauce, there is no guarantee.
If they can show a different character this time than what he remembered, it would not be impossible to give them some support.
However, it turns out that in the real world, most of the time, don’t expect miracles.
In the days after the incident broke out, Du Fei paid close attention.
The situation gradually escalated, and in the end, everyone was ordered to shoot...
At this point, Du Fei had no illusions and no longer paid attention.
Unexpectedly, someone came to the door the next day.
…
At around ten o'clock in the morning, Du Fei was in the office checking the materials that Shen Jianing sent last night regarding the construction company's undertaking to build the Asian Games Village.
Yu Jiajia came in from outside.
As Zhang Wenzhong gets older and the firefighting equipment company's business grows, it becomes increasingly difficult for him to do what he wants.
As Du Fei's confidant, Yu Jiajia began to take over some of Zhang Wenzhong's work.
At the end of August, when the summer was hot, Yu Jiajia wore a light-colored dress, white half-high-heeled leather sandals, long hair that reached her waist was curled, and light makeup on her face. Although she was over 30, she looked more mature and fashionable than before.
With the strengthening of national strength and the restoration of international status, the mental state of Huaguo people has returned to normal, and they are more and more naturally tolerant.
The most obvious thing is people's dressing.
Yu Jiajia is not outstanding on the streets of Beijing, and can only be said to be quite ordinary.
She is beautiful, which makes her eye-catching.
"Manager, there is a South Korean outside who wants to see you." Yu Jiajia's expression was slightly serious, and she emphasized: "This person is a student leader of South Korea. He claims to be here on behalf of the South Korean labor team..."
Du Fei couldn't help curling his lips when he heard it. It's true... just anyone wants to see him.
Of course, this can't be blamed on Yu Jiajia. After all, it involves foreigners, or student leaders, comrades of the brotherhood team. She must be cautious and must report to her superiors.
Understand what Du Fei meant: "I understand."
Du Fei nodded, indicating that she could leave.
Du Fei really didn't want to get involved in South Korea's mess.
A group of people who were brainwashed by the so-called chaebols and naively thought that they could use the chaebols to fight against the military... Du Fei didn't even want to call them idealists.
True idealism will not give up ideals.
But the ideals these people talk about are different from what they do.
Outside, a middle-aged man wearing glasses, standing at the door of the reception room and looking into the inner courtyard, saw Yu Jiajia coming out, and had a bad premonition before the other party spoke.
Sure enough, Du Fei didn't agree to see him.
In fact, it was not too surprising. After all, if no one introduced him, it would be a high probability that he would not see the talent at the door of the unit.
But he was not willing to accept it. The people of lofty ideals in their country were sacrificing, and he had to find a way to get the support of Huaguo.
They had been to Moscow during the sports meeting before.
As expected, they were treated coldly.
Now that he came to Huaguo, he was even more certain that Du Fei was a key figure.
It's not that Du Fei is so powerful, but if you want to get substantial help, Du Fei is a shortcut.
Unfortunately, it seems that even this shortcut is extremely difficult now.
"I'm very sorry, Comrade Park, our manager has a very important meeting..." Yu Jiajia found an excuse.
Park Yongshun smiled bitterly, but did not argue with a lady, and said helplessly: "I understand, thank you, Comrade Yu."
He knew that it would be useless to say more to Yu Jiajia, and whether he could meet Du Fei in the end was not something Yu Jiajia could decide.
However, just when he turned around and was about to leave in disappointment, Yu Jiajia suddenly said: "Wait a minute~"
Park Yongshun was stunned, and his dim pupils glowed again.
