Chapter 291 Pax Cheongdam-dong (6)
“You’re not talking about something similar to the meal tickets sold at restaurants, are you?”
The president was filled with the feeling of ‘no way’ as he asked the question. And Ha Soo-young, as always, betrayed such small expectations.
“That’s right. That’s the meaning behind the name.”
“A meal ticket? What the… …
“Do you have any feeling?”
“I got the feeling all at once, so I’m getting goosebumps now.”
The president felt the same embarrassment he had felt a few years ago when he heard the news that Ha Su-young had named her personal bank Suyeongsachae.
“To be more specific, it is called a food purchase voucher. However, that is a term to help the President understand, and it is more accurate to think of it as a meal voucher. Either way, the meaning is the same. We decided to shorten it to just a meal voucher.”
“Is there a difference?”
“Yes, we do. We have the right to charge for all types of finished meal services that we sell on our farm.”
The president got the hang of it again.
“It’s not a bond for food ingredients like grains, but a bond that guarantees the meal itself.”
“Yes. It is broader than just food ingredients. Of course, we will provide it even if you charge for food ingredients.”
Since it is a right to receive a finished product, the material fee is naturally paid even if it is claimed. In this case, since the cost of manufacturing the finished product is reduced, the claimant can receive more ingredients.
“Can we think of it as a kind of cash issued by the swimming farm?”
“That’s right. We plan to give them a cash equivalent, at least on our farm.”
Cash has near-perfect exchangeability in the market because of its absolute equivalence.
In a supermarket, whether you buy something with a $10 bill from a criminal or a $10 bill from the Pope, it’s still the same $10 bill.
The meal vouchers mentioned by Ha Su-yeong are also a type of cash-equivalent bearer security issued with a similar status.
“It’s similar to a foreign exchange swap. In this case, instead of money for money, the exchangeability of rubles for meals is guaranteed to the extent of the meal coupons issued.”
“The concept is to ultimately guarantee meals, so you can receive all the ingredients produced by the swimming group without limitation.”
“Yes, within the price range.”
“From Russia’s perspective, the number of food stamps it possesses will certainly help it to be free from the problem of food shortages. How many do you plan to issue?”
“We plan to issue 800 billion meals. That’s enough to feed the entire Russian population for five years.”
Earlier, Russia said that it would maintain a food self-sufficiency rate of 30% at best.
It’s an unbelievable number, but Ha Soo-young wouldn’t have lied.
“But didn’t you say that Russia itself doesn’t know that its food situation is not that good? Do you think a deal will work?”
“They don’t know the future, where people will starve to death in a few years, but they know that food shortages are getting worse day by day. That’s why they bought so much food last time.”
“That is to say, they are accumulating in advance in preparation for a war on the Korean Peninsula by using North Korea… …
“When a country takes action, there are many complex reasons. Russia must be struggling right now. The former president has broken all the promises he made to me, so should he join hands with me again? Or should he take a hard line?”
“Of the three countries of Russia, China, and Japan, Russia is the only one with which negotiations are possible.”
We are currently doing well in many ways with Japan, but does that mean that it is not a negotiation?
The president couldn’t bring himself to ask that question.
“If Russia really votes in favor of becoming a permanent member of the Security Council… …
If the vote for and against the permanent members is 4:1, 5 non-permanent members vote in favor, and 2/3 of all member states vote in favor, Korea and China can become permanent members.
No president has ever achieved such beautiful accomplishments during his term.
The President clenched his fists. His heart pounded loudly with excitement.
“It would be best if both were possible, but realistically, we cannot ignore the possibility that neither of them will be given a permanent seat.”
While I was floating above the clouds, Ha Su-yeong suddenly cruelly dragged me down to the ground.
“In that case, you have to boldly give up one. If you think you can’t do both, shouldn’t you give up at least one?”
The non-permanent members and the more than 190 member states were very likely to feel uncomfortable with two vetoes being concentrated on the small Korean Peninsula.
The president understood Ha Su-young’s meaning and spoke with great restraint.
“At that time, our Republic of Korea will actively support China.”
This is probably the answer Ha Su-young wanted.
“Thank you. Then, for the time being, let’s play well together as a team and win. Us.”
Ha Su-yeong got up from her seat, walked over to me, and asked to shake my hand.
It is an action that goes against the formalities and manners of the Blue House, but who can say anything about it?
“Congressman, let’s work together. The government will also do its best to help.”
“Mr. President, I appreciate it very much, don’t you?”
“What does it mean?”
“I’m not greedy for domestic political power. Aren’t you grateful?”
The president barely managed to suppress a bitter smile.
Are you pointing out your own lust for power that led you to push for a constitutional amendment while handing over national projects?
The president said it jokingly because he didn’t want to look like he was losing.
“If it weren’t for Rep. Rohan, I would have thought that way 200%. It’s 100% because of Rep. Rohan. I’m saying that the member has no greed for political power.”
“Ah, then you should do 200%. Rohan is a messenger, a messenger. A messenger is like a resident embassy, a hotline.”
“Messenger, is this a hotline… …
“But thanks to having Rohan in the National Assembly, haven’t I been able to get along well with the legislative and executive branches without any major misunderstandings?”
“It seems that the decision was made because of a huge misunderstanding with the judiciary.”
“Originally, corrupt judges were skinned alive. But I didn’t skin them at all.”
As he said that with a bright smile, the President’s spine suddenly felt cold.
Perhaps Ha Soo-young had been sincere in wanting to skin alive those who had attacked her during the last coup.
The president changed the subject.
“You said you would provide 800 billion won worth of meal coupons. How will you issue them? Even if you set the price at 4,000 won per coupon, Russia will not be able to pay that much money all at once.”
“If you do business like that, any store will fail. Of course, you’ll have to hand out discount coupons.”
“Is this a discount coupon?”
The Russian ambassador stood in front of the Cheongdam-dong mansion.
After the former president fell from power, dealing with the embassy’s Milky Way swimming became ambiguous.
Because the new regime has nullified many of the promises Russia made to Cheongdam-dong.
If the farms and ranches of Vladivostok had been touched, the previous large-scale food purchase would have been rejected outright and Russia would have suffered from a food shortage.
‘Crop failures are becoming a major global trend.’
Natural disasters such as abnormal climate, plant diseases, the increasing prevalence of longicorn hornets, and the declining number of honeybees are increasing day by day.
But now Russia is doing something crazy by waging war on Ukraine.
The grand strategy of securing Ukraine’s granary to combat the coming food crisis is not entirely nonsense, but it is actually rendering that granary useless by Russian artillery shells.
What kind of ridiculous contradiction is this?
“Dash, welcome back. It’s been a long time.”
“Thank you for the invitation, Senator.”
“We’re not in a position where we can awkwardly meet face to face like this, haha.”
Even when I bought food in bulk last time, I didn’t see Ha Su-yeong’s face in person. He only made the payment, and all the transactions were handled by the people below him.
If it were me, Ha Soo-young would have come to the embassy and told them to drink as much vodka as they wanted, saying that such a big deal couldn’t be without a case of vodka.
“I don’t have any particular regrets, Ambassador. Please rest easy. I’m not particularly upset, even though the Russian administration has now nullified many of its previous promises.”
The expression “I’m not very upset” is an unpleasant expression that requires extreme caution in diplomatic rhetoric.
However, Ha Su-yeong is a person who should not be judged by common sense.
“As we live, we face all sorts of things, and if we feel happy or sad about each and every one of them, our heart won’t be able to handle it and we won’t live long.”
“Haha, right now my heart can’t handle you, sir, and I feel like it’s going to burst.”
“Then I should give you something healthy to drink so that you don’t spread it. Please wait a moment.”
Ha Su-yeong, who had left the room, brought some transparent white liquor and snacks.
It is immediately apparent that the food and drinks he personally serves are good for your health. No matter how drunk you are, the next day you will feel more refreshed than usual, as if you had never drunk before.
“thank you.”
It had been a long time since he had eaten dinner in Cheongdam-dong, and the ambassador tried not to show that his mouth was watering.
We had some time to lighten the mood by talking about recent events and telling each other random stories.
“You know I’ve been busy traveling abroad these days, right?”
“I know. You are working for the cause of international peace.”
The ambassador pretended not to know and just passed it over.
“That’s right. I’ve been really busy running around for international peace these days. I was just trying to farm, but this chaotic world doesn’t allow me to enjoy the leisurely time of digging in the dirt in a remote corner of the country.”
A world in chaos?
The ambassador thought for a moment, wondering if he was talking about the Russo-Ukrainian War.
On the one hand, it was sad that Ha Soo-young did not speak directly to Russia, but instead responded indirectly.
It wasn’t like this before… … .
“Ambassador, what do you think is the real threat to international peace?”
“Well, isn’t it true that wars and conflicts occur in various forms? Just as wars don’t necessarily involve bullets. Rather, I think that wars fought with bullets called money cause even greater crises.”
“I think it’s a food crisis.”
The dialogue at that moment was completely out of sync.
The mere fact that it did not point out Russia’s war activities seems to relieve some of the tension.
“Global grain production has been decreasing for several years now. But no one seems to feel any crisis. My farm is making up for the decrease by exporting the amount.”
“You are particularly meeting the needs of the United States, where calorie consumption is particularly high.”
“It’s serious now. This is going to blow up in a few years. I’m convinced that there will be a war not over real oil, but over wheat and corn.”
The ambassador thought that might be true, but he didn’t agree.
“Your Majesty, a world war caused by food shortages is sure to come. It will come in a few years. Although I am a poor country bumpkin, I want to prevent a great war.
That’s why we need Russia’s help.”
“What can our Russia do to help you?”
“Give us the Security Council veto.”
The ambassador almost burst out laughing.
“If Russia supports me in my bid for a permanent seat on the Security Council, I will offer Russia a big and beautiful banquet table.”
