Episode 155 [ In My Name (3) ]
The agenda brought by the Minister of Finance and Economy caused an uproar in the Blue House conference hall.
“100 tons of gold bars….”
The minister explained further to the president’s words.
“It won’t be a normal gold bar. “It seems like they are trying to turn the gold that was floating around in the dark into positive.”
“Shouldn’t I refuse then?”
The new president was trying to maintain his own standards, but now was not the time to go back and forth.
“It’s difficult to do that. “This amount of gold will be of great help in stabilizing the currency.”
More dirty words came from one side.
“If the gold is not normal, how about confiscating it after it is brought in? I think it would be possible at a time like this.”
The President frowned at the words of the Minister of National Security and Planning, but some ministers looked astonished.
But the Minister of Finance and Economy, who brought the story, shook his head.
“It seems difficult to do that. SG “This person came through the introduction of CEO Hye-rin of Electronics. It is probably gold held by multinational investment companies that support CEO Hye-rin.”
“Then that would be impossible.”
The Minister of National Intelligence and Security raised both hands.
It was a speculative force that had eaten up Korea’s best company by pushing it with money.
Of course, permission was given in order to introduce various development products, including mana stone generators, to Korea, but its power was not easy to see
. “With the changes in the economy, it is becoming difficult to protect real assets without proper military power. They probably want to keep their gold in a safe place.”
“Then shouldn’t we instead be charged a storage fee?”
The atmosphere at the meeting became much softer.
Everyone agreed to accept the gold.
“The problem is the price. What do you want? Money?”
However, the president who spoke did not seem to want money from the other party.
In the past, money would have been the best, but now there are many things that cannot be done with money.
“This is permission and acquiescence in the distribution of gold and precious metals. The export and distribution itself is Korean. “We will deal with it within the law, but we don’t want to check where it came from.”
“So you’re saying there’s more gold?”
Hearing the minister’s words, the President leaned forward and said,
“I think so.”
“Wouldn’t it be a problem if more gold and precious metals were distributed?”
The Minister shook his head.
“Honestly, this is a situation where I would like to welcome it with open arms. We must hold it in order to bring down the sky-high prices of gold and precious metals. It will be a great help in these times.”
The minister looked at the serious president and looked apologetic.
“And no matter how much gold or precious metals come in, it won’t be a big deal. Even if it’s 100 tons of gold bars, it’s less than 10 trillion. Even if more comes in, it won’t be a big amount.”
The president sighed at the minister’s words.
Considering the size of the Korean economy, the minister was right. In the modern financial era, the asset ballooning was not an amount that real assets could do anything about.
“That’s probably why this inflation occurred. Let’s put it that way. It would be impossible to handle it straight away in the current situation.”
The Minister of Finance and Economy bowed his head to the President’s permission.
Although he did not bring up the story, that was not the only demand of the young businessman who brought this case.
It also included the withdrawal of various sanctions imposed on his company.
Of course, his request was I was planning to listen, but this was not the place to talk about this.
It was something that he and several SG Group collaborators had done anyway. I
came here with the help of SG Group, so I helped, but in this situation, I continued to be a member of SG Group. It was too much to listen to.

“The VIP’s permission was given.”
“Thank you. Goods will continue to arrive at Incheon Port starting in a week.”
Kyung-hoon responded to the minister’s words.
As his level increased, he was able to move through dimensions while carrying more than twice the weight, but it was impossible to bring in all 100 tons. “
And the request will be approved by World Gold. Of course. “This is only possible under this administration, and it is difficult to continue protecting it when problems arise.”
The minister laid out numerous restrictions to avoid harm.
Kyung-hoon watched with amusement.
It was a strange feeling to have power.
Those restrictions were meaningless anyway. Kyung-hoon just needed the government’s permission itself.
We were confident that the remaining issues would be resolved by any means.
And all pressure coming from the government would be cancelled. However, we cannot do anything about pressure coming from other sides than the government. It would be better to talk to the sponsors separately and negotiate with SG Group. “It seems.”
Kyung-hoon smiled at the minister’s words.
Wow!
The air froze.
Kyung-hoon opened his mouth with a smile on his face.
“You don’t have to worry about that. It happened between companies. Things happen between companies that compete with each other. This can happen. If you didn’t realize it last time, I’ll just tell you again.”
The minister got goosebumps from the young businessman’s smile. Cold sweat ran down the back of his head.
He had never believed in life before, but now the temperature in the room was really dropping. What was
in front of him now was not the young businessman.
As far as he could see , There was a huge lion with a blue glow.
The lion stood up and said,
“Then it was a good deal. See you next time.”
Kyung-hoon asked the minister to shake his hand, and the minister forced his hand out to shake his hand.
Kyung-hoon left the minister’s office and the minister pressed the intercom with a tired expression.
“Starting today, reject all communications from SG Group.”
And he deleted all numbers related to SG Group from his phone.
He was surprised by the charisma of the SG Group Chairman when he saw him in person, but the fear he felt a little while ago was on a different level from the charisma he felt back then. He was not an
ordinary businessman after all. An ordinary businessman was holding 100 tons of gold bars. There was no way he would make a deal with the government.
Of course, no matter how scary an individual was, there was no way he could deal with SG Group, but he couldn’t take the fire for nothing. *
As
he left the government building, Kyung-hoon whispered softly.
“This is enough for the government to interfere .” “There won’t be any, right?”
-Yes, the Minister of Finance and Economy was the highest government line related to SG Group. If he turns away, there will be no direct interference from the government. Gyeonghoon nodded at Eve’s words. “Okay, let’s start. Our company will also
release
a new product.” “You can’t be prevented from putting it down.”
-Okay, but are you planning on not having a launch event? Jin Xiawei’s launch event was great.
“No! This product isn’t for the general public anyway. Word of mouth is enough.”
Eve said with a disappointed voice, but Kyung-hoon didn’t even flinch. He
had no intention of doing something like that when he went out on stage wearing a suit and introduced a product.
***
After that day
, people were seen wearing unusual accessories on broadcasts and at parties . It started.
The actress who appeared in the entertainment information program’s new interview corner was also wearing a necklace I had never seen before.
“It’s an interesting necklace. The jewel in the center doesn’t seem to be a diamond. What kind of jewel is it?”
A reporter who was talking about a new drama for a while looked at the actress’ necklace and asked,
“Oh, isn’t it pretty? It’s a mana stone necklace.”
“A mana stone? Is it really the mana stone used to run the generator?”
“yes.”
The reporter looked at the necklace in surprise. Several words came to the reporter’s mind. Is it dangerous or can the general public use it?
But the first thing that came out was, of course, about money.
“Aren’t the mana stones very expensive?”
“Yes, it is expensive. “Our manager has received sponsorship for this expensive item.”
The actress showed off her necklace with a smiling face.
Even to the reporter, it was something to be proud of. The color of the mana stone was very mysterious.
But it wouldn’t be any different from any other gem anyway….
The actress leaned in and whispered to the reporter.
“When I wear this mana stone necklace, all the fatigue goes away.”
The reporter’s eyes widened. If it was a mana stone, that might have been the case.
However, I had never heard of an ordinary person using a mana stone.
“Could it be a placebo effect?”
The actress shrugged her shoulders at the reporter’s words.
[Well, the company that sent me this necklace said there was no special effect, but I saw a lot of effect. Out of gratitude, I want to promote it a lot.]
[No, that’s a bit…]
The screen changed to the end with the reporter blocking the actress.
SG Group Chairman’s office.
Chairman Kim frowned as he watched the video playing on the screen.
The screen continued to show people wearing accessories such as necklaces, rings, and other accessories.
They were all famous celebrities in the business world and broadcasting.
“These are mana stone accessories released by World Gold not long ago. There is no launching event, product promotion, or website registration. “It is produced in small quantities and sold solely through word of mouth, and word of mouth alone is causing an issue all over the world.”
“How can we stop it?”
“…”
The director had no answer to the chairman’s question.
Suddenly, people in the government turned their backs, and all the pressure that had been pushed through the government disappeared like dust.
The media companies also had no idea what they heard . I closed it and started to pay attention.
In this situation, there was no way to stop a product that was not being promoted.
“It’s a mana stone. Couldn’t it be dangerous to the body?”
“It has begun to be used in awakened items and car engines. It has already passed all safety inspections.”
After the monsters appeared, many safety inspections were simplified. Thanks to this, companies became very comfortable, but I never thought that a problem like this would arise. “It can’t be effective anyway. Isn’t it a
one-time issue?”
“Preemption is also a problem, and the problem is that some companies have already tried it, but people seem to be resistant to it.”
The chairman stroked his face. Nothing was going his way.
Suddenly!
The door to the chairman’s office opened wide. The chairman wasn’t even angry anymore. He glared straight at the door. President
Joo-kyung Kim rushed in through the open door.
Her face was white. He had changed.
“Dad! We’re in big trouble!”
Instead of the title she always used to call me, “Chairman,” the word “Dad,” which she used to call me as a teenager, came out of her mouth:
“Overseas speculative capital is buying up the group’s stocks!”
At her words, the manager hurriedly checked the tablet.
Again? The chairman felt frustrated. He asked his daughter,
“Which company is your target?”
“It’s not just one company!”
The manager, who was looking at the tablet, shouted,
“SG Life, SG Fire, SG C&T stock is under attack. It is a company that is the core of our group’s cyclical structure!”
“They plan to steal our group!”
The chairman clenched his fists at the absurd sound. His chest hurt even more.
Then the world began to tilt sideways.
Boom.
“Dad! Dad!”
“Chairman! The Chairman has collapsed! Doctor!”
Even after he collapsed, Chairman Kim continued to look at his daughter’s neck.
A jewel necklace with a beautiful light was swinging around her neck.
‘Is that a mana stone necklace?’
The initials were engraved on the back of the shaking necklace:
‘Omr.’ It looked like a person was lying down in frustration.
It was Omar’s name.
