The Cold War: Jumping back and forth between the two camps

Chapter 331 Investing in Physical Business

In fact, the entire Seoul has become dilapidated after being lost twice. The Seoul of this era was not a wealthy city. The entire Seoul now looks worse than the small county town on the continent before Dunn traveled through.

In addition, after the war, the whole city looked dilapidated. The so-called hotel that Cui Dongkou mentioned was not actually a high-end hotel, but fortunately it had such a shape, so it could only be said that it did not look so ugly.

However, although the conditions were simple, Dunn could make do with them. After all, war was raging across the entire peninsula.

Dunn had lived a harder life before his time travel.

The hotel Cui Dongjin called was actually a row of bungalows. It was not that there were no higher-end places in this hotel, but because the main building of the hotel had been damaged after the war, he had to move to another place. Dunn had been to this hotel before, but that was during the last negotiation with North Korea. It was still quite good.

Now I can only make do with it.

"Korean food is not good enough! Mr. Du, I will treat you to French food today!"

After entering the private room of the hotel, Cui Dongjin said with a smile, but a look of guilt appeared on his face.

"It's just that the conditions are a bit simple. There's nothing we can do about it. This is a special period! I hope Mr. Du can understand!"

"Of course I understand. The place is not important, Mr. Cui! I have tasted the French food in this hotel before, and it is indeed unique! In special times, we should eat in a special way!"

In fact, Dunn was a little uncomfortable hearing a South Korean say that their dishes were not up to standard. Compared with the South Koreans of later generations who insisted that kimchi was a delicacy, it gave people the feeling that a wild boar could not eat fine bran.

Cui Dongjin has now really won a little favor from Dunn. At least this guy is realistic and does not insist that those so-called kimchi are delicacies on earth.

"It's great that Mr. Du can understand. In fact, I have also considered bringing Mr. Du to my home as a guest. It's a pity that the buildings in the entire Seoul area are now in a dilapidated state, and my home is the same!"

Cui Dongjin sighed.

Dunn believed what he said. He knew very well what the Seoul area was like now. It could be said that the only slightly upscale place in the entire Seoul area was the area around Park Yoo-seung's villa.

After changing hands twice, the area has been preserved relatively intact, but now the entire area has been occupied by various institutions.

There are intelligence agencies like the CIA, various government agencies in South Korea, and of course the US military stationed there.

Although the Choi family is considered a relatively powerful family in Seoul, South Korea, it is still somewhat inferior in comparison.

We will definitely not be able to compete for the place with the intelligence agencies and military of the United States and the government of South Korea.

While the two were talking, the food was already on the table. When Cui Dong went in to invite Dun En, the food was already being prepared. When the two arrived at the hotel, the food was also ready.

After some refusal, the two men started using their knives and forks.

I have to sigh that even during the war and the national tension, this hotel was still able to find authentic French food ingredients. It seems that the owner of this hotel is really capable.

"Mr. Cui came to see me today, it shouldn't just be about the land transfer issue, right?"

Dunn cut off a piece of foie gras, put it in his mouth and chewed it gently, smiling and asking.

After dealing with Choi Dong-jin, Dunn also investigated Choi's family's background and learned that this family was quite prominent in South Korea.

At least after the war broke out, the main members of the Cui family had already moved most of their family members abroad before Dunn started the smuggling business.

This is something that many South Koreans and their families cannot do.

You know, even when Dunn started the smuggling business with the support of the CIA, the South Korean government protested many times. After all, after Dunn smuggled a large number of laborers abroad, the population in South Korea became even more tense.

However, Dunn's smuggling business involved too many officials, both big and small. This kind of thing is simply impossible for a few knowledgeable South Korean officials to stop.

Even now, Dunn's smuggling business is still going on, but the scale is really incomparable to that a few months ago. However, the corresponding ticket prices have also been raised. At this time, there are basically no South Korean civilians who can leave.

It was just that when Dunn was doing the smuggling business, he just did one or two things on the side.

Therefore, no officials from the South Korean government came out to take action.

"Haha! Mr. Du, the main reason I asked you to come out this time is to make a friend! After all, at a time like this, more friends mean more options!"

Cui Dongjin did not directly state his purpose, and Dunn saw that he was not in a hurry. He was not in a hurry, and chatted with Cui Dongjin from time to time. The two talked about the current situation on the battlefield and the international situation.

When the two high-end French meals in front of him were almost finished, Cui Dongjin finally couldn't bear it anymore and asked cautiously.

"Mr. Du, you have already started buying up our country's real estate and fixed assets. Are you interested in entering the real economy?"

"What does Mr. Cui mean?"

Dunn showed a puzzled expression, but after listening to Cui Dongjin's questions, he roughly guessed the other party's purpose.

To be honest, Dunn was really interested, but after careful consideration, he gave up.

Because it is still a long time before South Korea's economic take-off, this is a very long-term investment and there is no rush. Dunn actually doesn't know much about the history of the peninsula, and he is not familiar with any of the famous chaebols in South Korea in the future.

The only familiar person at the helm of Samsung seems to be surnamed Li, and it is because of their eldest princess that he cares about such matters.

Therefore, Dunn has always been cautious about investing in South Korea's real economy. It will not be too late to enter the market after those well-known South Korean chaebols become famous in the future, because it is also a simple matter to acquire their shares in the early stage.

Although Dunn knew that most of these tycoons had completed their initial accumulation through this war, the problem was that Dunn could not find them now.

So up to now, Dunn has only been doing land business in South Korea and real estate business in southern cities.

He doesn't pay attention to any physical enterprises in South Korea.
