Although Seoul in 1994 had the shadow of a metropolis, it was limited to the CBD in the center of Seoul City. Of course, other places are much more prosperous than in China.
But for Yang Dongxu, who has been influenced by the metropolises of later generations, this kind of prosperity is at best comparable to the third-tier domestic cities of later generations.
If South Korea's culture is deeply influenced by China, then South Korea's economy basically looks better than the United States. In later generations, even if the United States is known as the world's only superpower, except for the CBD in several big cities such as New York and Washington, other places are actually just like small counties in China.
It's just that compared with small counties in China, the population area of the United States may be much sparse, and cars are much cheaper than buying them domestically, so every household has a car, but in other aspects it is not as good as in China.
So since the leader, the United States, has been developing like that for so many years, South Korea, which has a good reputation, is not a tycoon in the Middle East, nor is it as vast as China, nor does it have the factor of an infrastructure maniac. Therefore, except for a few superficial aspects of Korean architectural style, most places are actually very old.
Standing in front of the glass window of the presidential suite of the Four Seasons Hotel again, looking at this strange city, Yang Dongxu had a different perception than the last time.
He took a look at the list of films shortlisted for the Blue Dragon Awards sent by Secretary Li Fuzhen. It was basically the same as he had guessed. Most of them were Korean films. There are a few Hong Kong and Taiwanese films among foreign language films, such as My Brother's Farewell My Concubine, which is in it.
But there is basically only one award for foreign language films, and that is the Best Foreign Language Film Award. But as for the gold content of this award, there is no doubt about the quality of "Farewell My Concubine". Otherwise, Lao Kai would not have won several awards at the Cannes Film Festival with this film, and there is a tendency to become the first domestic director in one fell swoop. .
But what do you think of "Farewell My Concubine", which even won international awards such as Cannes Film Industry, and this Qinglong Film Industry Award?
Well, Lao Kai came with a few actors, but his brother didn't have time to come because of filming. However, this award is a movie award, not a role award, so if he doesn't come, it would be a big honor for the director to come in person.
"If you're bored, just go out and have fun. Didn't Li Fujin find a Korean translator?" Yang Dongxu put down the movie list in his hand and looked at Du Fei who was a little restless and said.
Jie Chengwu has not returned from the south, and Du Suo will basically not come back from the Middle East. Therefore, Yang Dongxu's safety after going abroad naturally needs Du Fei to come back to ensure it.
Du Fei is responsible for close protection, two people follow Yang Dongxu, and two are hidden in the crowd. This is basically the minimum configuration of the five-person team whenever Yang Dongxu leaves the mainland, whether it is to Hong Kong or South Korea.
"If you want to go out, I will accompany you. If you don't want to go out, forget it. I can't even understand the chirping of birds. What's the point of visiting. Besides, this place is far from the United States." Du Fei picked up one. The apple was chewed.
Although Sharp Blade's main work is in the Middle East, this does not mean that they have not expanded to other places besides the Middle East in recent years. You must know that in the past few years, in the war-torn Middle East, Sharp Blade Security Company has been in the limelight several times.
Although it is still not on the same level as later generations of security companies like Blackwater, which are almost comparable to the military. But the reputation has been established, and Blackwater has not yet been established, so in addition to the Middle East, it will also take orders from other places.
Among them are orders from American businessmen. After all, there are many American soldiers in the Middle East, but there are even more American businessmen. Therefore, after going back and forth, several investors have regarded Sharp Blade Security Company as their first choice for travel safety. Du Fei once led a team to the United States to perform security work, so he has naturally seen the prosperity of the American empire.
"You came back in such a hurry that I didn't have time to ask. How are you in the Middle East?" Yang Dongxu asked.
Although he is the big boss behind the scenes of Sharp Blade Security Company, he delegates much more power to specific matters than any of his companies, and he does not even ask about the specific business.
Wu Aibing is in charge of logistics, while in terms of finance, Zhou Ya is basically responsible for secretly transferring money directly through foreign accounts. Now, except for the core executives, almost no one knows that the boss behind the Blade Security Company is a Chinese, a young boy who is only 19 years old.
"The road has basically been cleared. It's more free than at Lao Maozi's side." Du Fei couldn't help but lick his lips when he mentioned the Middle East.
The Middle East is definitely a paradise for violent elements, especially after Du Suo established a relationship of mutual trust with a crown prince there, he no longer had to worry about logistical support, and Du Fei's life there was much more comfortable.
Of course, this kind of 'moisture' is something that many people are not willing to enjoy. If they are worried every day, it is very likely that they will wake up that day and find that they have no head, or that they will go out to perform a mission and never come back.
However, for restless guys like Du Fei and veterans who know nothing about fighting after coming off the battlefield, a place like this is indeed like a paradise. The only place comparable to the Middle East is probably that part of Africa. Mainland.
"If you need any help, just tell me directly. I have invested another sum of money in Russia. Plus, Ivan has been a little restless and lonely recently and seems to want to cause trouble, so I hope you can help me get a lot." Good stuff." Yang Dongxu said.
And this good thing naturally refers to some weapons and ammunition that are expressly prohibited from sale. If it is ordinary arms, there is no need for him to sell them. The most indispensable thing in places where wars often occur is arms.
"Can you get us a satellite? That thing is really useful." Du Fei said excitedly.
"Why don't you let me get you a rocket to send you to the sky?" Yang Dongxu rolled his eyes, but then he reacted: "Have you ever used a satellite?"
The word satellite is definitely synonymous with high technology whether it is now or in the future. Now, if a county or company suddenly appears somewhere in the country with extremely fast economic growth.
Officials will say that this is a satellite, which is an incredible surprise. Therefore, even if Yang Dongxu has a very complete technical reserve for this thing, it is not something that can be accomplished in one or two years. It will take at least five years to develop it.
Of course, he has no intention of tinkering with this thing. He may cultivate some technicians on how to use satellites as a talent reserve. Because he will definitely have his own private commercial satellite in the future, he is a little worried about leaving this aspect to outsiders. But as for developing satellites, he hasn't lived enough yet and doesn't want to eat peanuts.
"I've seen it used by others. It's like a clairvoyant. It can see accurately from a long distance. It's just covered with cannonballs without anyone having to go over and scan it." Du Fei was dancing excitedly.
"Who has seen it used before?" Yang Dongxu was stunned for a moment. He was surprised that Du Fei could see such high-tech technology with his own eyes.
"French Foreign Legion, wasn't there a crown prince who was in charge of the instability in the region and wanted to fight? We were responsible for his security and fighting in some areas, but if he wanted to destroy the other side's lair, he spent a lot of money to hire others."
Through Du Fei's words, Yang Dongxu knew that he was at odds. He thought that Du Fei had gone to the satellite's heart operation command room to take a look, but it turned out that he had only seen an extension of one of the satellite's functions in terms of warfare. But this is not simple either.
Although electronic warfare made everyone suddenly understand during the Gulf War, it turns out that war can still be played like this. Therefore, it has attracted the attention of various countries and has been listed as the direction of future military reform.
However, due to technical reasons and the time difference in technology, only a few elite special forces are trying to use these things on a small scale in China. It is still unknown how many years it will take before they are truly popular. But a mercenary army has already been used, so at this time China is indeed lagging behind in all aspects.
"Don't even think about buying one. Even if we can afford it, we can't afford it. If we can afford it, we won't be able to keep it. Let's wait and see in two years." Du Fei looked at Du Fei who looked excited. Yang Dongxu said.
It's not that he can't afford satellites, but he certainly can't use them. Not to mention that this thing is extremely expensive, logistical maintenance is definitely a big problem. Based on the current domestic situation, the country will definitely not come forward to let him have the right to use a 'commercial satellite'.
And if you buy from abroad, for example, buying from Russia is very convenient. But his current overall strength is still too weak. Buying other people's satellites is equivalent to putting his fat thigh in the mouth of a polar bear. Whenever someone wanted to take a bite or threaten him, he had no room to resist.
bang bang bang
Just when the disappointed Du Fei wanted to say something, there was a knock on the door. With a straight face, he stood up and walked to the door. He first looked outside through the peephole, and then saw Li Fujin, who had changed his clothes, come in.
"Is something wrong?" Seeing Li Fujin and Yang Dongxu were stunned for a moment,
It was now past ten o'clock in the morning, not the time for lunch, and the film festival was held tomorrow night, so they didn't need to leave now.
"I'll go out with you for a walk." Li Fuzhen gathered the messy hair around her ears.
"No, I'm quite tired and I want to take a nap." Yang Dongxu said casually. But the next moment he saw Li Fuzhen's embarrassed look, he frowned and felt that he was being tricked again. "Is there something wrong?"
"No, no," Li Fuzhen waved her hands quickly, looking a little panicked.
"Wait while I change clothes."
"It's okay, you can go to sleep, I won't disturb you." Li Fujin said, but only after finishing speaking did he realize that Yang Dongxu asked her to accompany her out later, "If you are sleepy, just..."
"I'm not very sleepy. Just wait." Yang Dongxu said, turning around and walking into the bedroom.
When he took the plane in the morning, he discovered that Li Fuzhen was very abnormal today. There was obviously a plane from Shanghai to South Korea in the afternoon. The film festival is tomorrow night and it won't be too late at all.
But she happened to take Yang Dongxu to Yanjing last night, and then took a flight from Yanjing to South Korea this morning. Now that it's like this again, it'll be damned if nothing happens.
