The Legend of Return
Chapter 367. Superiorization (1)
“It seems to be harder than I thought.”
“It is a joint stock company. Is it difficult to buy?”
“As the CEO said, we pushed ahead with the purchase, but the government interfered.”
“No, what is that…”
“It seems to be related to Japan.”
“Japan?”
“Chairman Joo Hyun-tae owns more than 51 percent of Dongryong Cement. As the flagship affiliate of the group, shares are not released to the market. Ilhan Cement was acquired by Shinnippon Group a few years ago. All listed stocks were retired to become an unlisted stock company. Lastly, Korea Development Bank is the largest shareholder of Samryong Cement. This one didn’t even flinch even if it was called higher than the market price.”
“!!!”
TS Group Chairman Ha Kwan-woo visited.
This is to report on the acquisition of the cement company that I ordered earlier.
It was important.
At the end of last year, I suddenly realized that the number of atopic patients was increasing.
It was because of the rotten conscience of cement companies.
The same was true of the Ministry of Environment.
The cartel of the dirty ones announced.
The number of atopic patients increased as waste was burned in cement furnaces.
Cement in its natural state was not so highly toxic.
Even if you put fish in it, it will survive for a long time.
However, in the cement currently being processed, the fish died within 10 minutes.
It was the poison itself.
It was rare to see atopic patients during the time when coal was put into the kiln and cement was produced.
There is also an impact on the atmospheric environment, but the material used for housing is a problem for many of them.
The key among them was cement.
I couldn’t fix everything, but I was thinking of improving this behavior one by one.
In the meantime, I hit a reef.
It was an obstacle in acquiring three companies that produce cement.
“This is a business comparable to the goose that lays the golden egg. After the Ministry of Environment allowed the use of toxic substances in firing furnaces, the net profit of the companies increased dramatically. The profit received from processing toxic substances such as waste tires is greater than the surplus from selling cement. Chinese products are about to be pushed back in price.”
I thought it was too easy.
I forgot that those who would sell their souls for money were the leaders of society.
Industrial waste such as waste tires, which are difficult to bury and pollute the environment, has become a material for cement.
Carcinogens, including hexavalent chromium, were mixed with cement and adversely affected the residential environment, including apartments.
“Do all three import waste from Japan?”
“That’s right. We are competitively importing and using various industrial wastes such as waste coal ash and waste tires. And a warning came in through the director of the Ministry of Environment. They said that if they continued to touch it, there would be a special environmental audit for the TS Group.”
“…..”
The Ministry of Environment had nothing to say about the actions that further pollute the environment.
There was no national side.
Only the profits of companies that are in a hurry to make money are important.
And the profits will fill the pockets of politicians and civil servants intact.
In the past life, the garbage cement problem erupted a few times, but it was over.
The media was also in the middle of the day.
It was full of garbage that sold their souls for a few pennies.
“I have no intention of building my lab out of trash. The same is true everywhere on the TS construction site.”
“All ready-mixed concrete companies located close to the site use the products of the three companies. It is practically impossible in Korea.”
This acquisition was impossible with the power of TS Group.
I want to absorb it with foreign capital, but that was also difficult.
The three companies existed with strong connections to Japan, the government, and the media.
“How about starting a new one?”
“…that’s impossible. The government won’t give you permission. From limestone mining to factory operation, the government’s interference will be formidable.”
“Hmm.”
There are often things in the world that cannot be realized even with sufficient funds.
“Chairman Dong Ryong-ju has a good relationship with Japanese people. It appears to be related to the Yakuza.”
He had forgotten the true identity of the author as his maternal uncle.
It was complete dog crap.
Although blood was mixed, they were worse than others.
Chairman Joo Hyun-tae was the dog scum that even his mother, his younger sister, avoided and feared.
“Is it possible to import cement?”
“That is possible.”
“Buy American cement so that the Ministry of Environment or government agencies do not find fault with it. Please purchase and use ready-mixed concrete companies around the research center.”
“All right.”
For now, it was time to take a break.
Breaking the cartel was not easy even for those in power.
“And what about the window company?”
“According to your instructions, the acquisition of glass producers and window manufacturers is also being finalized. It was easy to buy stocks in a recession.”
“Incorporate as an affiliate.”
“I will handle it.”
“Is the expansion of the Q Cells plant going well?”
“As directed by the CEO, we have secured a large-scale site in the new industrial complex in Jangju. We plan to move glass producers and window makers to the site soon.”
“It sounds absurd to say this, but it could be about the size of a five-day display complex. Note that.”
“….All right.”
He replied, but Chairman Ha Kwan-woo seemed to not believe it either.
The Ojeong Display Complex is the size of a medium-sized city.
My dream was more than that.
“Has there been no contact from Minister Jang Man-soo since then?”
“I think the red ginseng set was not enough.”
“How good the 6-year-old red ginseng set is for the body. I feel full.”
Minister of Strategy and Finance Jang Man-soo met with Chairman Ha Kwan-woo after the Lunar New Year.
It was said that blessings were exchanged and various requests were implicitly conveyed.
Nodding his head, Chairman Ha Gwan-woo returned.
Jang Man-soo, who delivered a red ginseng set, was in full bloom.
You probably thought it would be in the box.
“Soon there will be a signal. Please contact me right away.”
“yes! I will handle it that way.”
“This is a busy year. Chairman Ha Kwan-woo’s role is important.”
“I will do my best to help.”
“Daewoong E&C will be put up for sale soon. The liquidity of Keumgu Group is messed up. Get ready.”
“…I will prepare perfectly!”
The world was still standing in the midst of a storm.
Detroit automakers were talking about bankruptcy, and the US unemployment rate exceeded 10%.
Unemployment rates in southern European countries such as Spain and Greece also exceeded 20%.
Companies with weak foundations collapsed.
The exchange rate market jumped on you… Food was screaming all over the place.

“Yes? Shall we announce this together?”
Ko Yeon-ji was taken aback when she accepted the A4 handed over by Jang Tae-san.
Jang Tae-san said he needed help.
The two met on the lawn of the College of Humanities and had a conversation over coffee.
It was just before class started.
“Haven’t you taken a public speaking class?”
“I’ve tried that, but…”
“You just have to follow my tone and atmosphere. It is not difficult at all.”
At Jang Tae-san’s confident words, Ko Yeon-ji looked at the poem typed on A4.
The title was nothing special, but the poem… somehow made my heart beat.
‘what? Are you creative?’
It was quite good, beyond a usable poem.
The metaphors and metaphors were properly mixed, but the theme and the emotion of the subject were felt as they were.
It was a good poem.
“Are you busy?”
Ko Yeon-ji was more interested in Jangtaesan than poetry.
“We had a meeting in the morning.”
“Can I take a tour of the company?”
“It’s not possible.”
“Phi~.”
“Compared to Elza Group, it is a corner store. There is nothing to see.”
“Are you buying dinner tonight?”
“No soju.”
“…How can I eat sundaeguk without soju!”
At the words of Jang Tae-san, Ko Yeon-ji became furious.
The thought of sundaeguk made my mouth water for several days.
“If I meet the president again today, I might collapse from high blood pressure.”
“Then I’ll just have three drinks.”
“We’ll take care of that much.”
‘what? What kind of mood is this?’
It was an atmosphere where you were allowed to have a drink in front of your boyfriend.
“Mr. Taesan!”
At that time, Kohane appeared with a book on her major in her chest.
“Can’t you see me?”
“Hello Yeonji-san~”
“Ugh.”
Koh Yeon-ji shook her head at Kohane’s duplicity.
“How are you, Taesan?”
“As you can see~.”
“Oh, I see.”
Kohane nodded.
‘Last week I spent the night with the youngest daughter of the Ojeong group… Today, having a sweet conversation with the daughter of the Elsa group… She really is a big flirt!’
Shameless Jang Tae-san was respected.
It was important not only to report on Jang Tae-san, but also to obtain information about the world-class Ojeong Group.
I confirmed that Jang Tae-san and Oh-jeong’s Im Yoon-a went into the house with me from the amusement park.
It wasn’t until the morning of the next day that Im Yoon-ah left Jang Tae-san’s house.
Kohane couldn’t help but admit Jang Tae-san’s flirtation.
“What did you put on your face?”
“no! Mr. Taesan… he is a really great man.”
Kohane burst into admiration.
“What is a suddenly great man? Do you know what Kohane knows about Taesan-san?”
Kohane’s words jumped out unconsciously, and Koh Yeon-ji bit and sagged.
“oh! Is it time to announce today?”
Kohane quickly turned around.
Follow me~♫ Follow me~♪.
The break time bell rang.
Now it’s time to go to the classroom.
The three of them walked to the lecture room as if they had made an appointment.
***
‘Was that the guy?’
There were quite a few professors at Korea University.
Outside of each college, there was little interaction with each other except for the deans and senior professors.
Everyone had a strong sense of pride that their studies were the best.
However, even among such professors, rumors circulated.
There was a rumor that a genius beyond imagination had appeared in the law department.
Law students who are smarter than other students.
It must be one of them, Professor Yang Yoo-jong thought lightly.
However, I heard a shocking story from a professor at the Department of Oriental Painting at the University of Fine Arts, whom I became close with through his interpretation of Chinese poetry.
It was a ridiculous true story that a law student flattened the noses of music and art students with practical skills.
Jang Tae-san chose his lecture as a liberal arts subject and came in.
‘Unlike art or music, poetry is a little different. That’s not something that comes out of learning…’
Professor Yang Yu-jong was a talented person who made his debut in the literary world with poetry among professors in the Department of Korean Language and Literature at Korea University.
He was rich in not only academic knowledge but also poetic sensibility.
It was a unique career in the Korean Literature Department, where literature history and criticism are the main focus, unlike the Literature and Creation Department.
“Professor, may I present?”
When class started, Jang Tae-san came forward proudly.
“I have high expectations for today.”
Professor Yujong Yang smiled.
It was difficult to create a good poem in a week unless the spirit of poetry came down.
Poets, like shamans, had to wear shoes to produce great poetry.
Poetry created academically or mechanically may be perfect, but it failed to impress people.
On the other hand, even if it was a poem created in 10 minutes, the impression was no joke if the body was written.
The poems of famous poets all had such a reason.
“It’s not enough poetry, but please take good care of me.”
Jang Tae-san politely greets the professor and students.
With his handsome face and dignity, most of the students in the classroom showed a crush on him.
What I was doing was not hateful.
A confident smile looked better.
“The title of the poem I will be presenting today is ‘Sangsahwa’.”
‘Companionization?’
Many flower names were added to the titles of poems.
There have been quite a few poems that have been published as synonyms.
Professor Yang Yoo-jong listened intently, savoring the title.
“I need the help of a female student to help with my presentation today. Go Yeonji, please.”
Ko Yeon-ji of the Elza Group, who is known as the queen of the humanities college, came forward with a blush on her face.
I was already holding an A4 paper in my hand.
‘The ability is good~.’
Professor Yang Yoo-jong also knew Ko Yeon-ji well.
Even professors at Hankuk University, no matter how proud they are, could not help but show interest in restraining large groups.
There were not a few benefits to receive when people were connected.
Ko Yeon-ji was not only beautiful, but also talented.
She was a female student who was loved by professors at the College of Humanities.
“Sangsahwa is called Sangsahwa because the flowers and leaves bloom alternately, so you can’t see flowers with leaves and flowers without leaves.”
Jang Tae-san’s pleasant voice resonated resonantly.
“The poem is short, but the poem itself is a novel and a narrative. The same is true of the commercialization that is being announced now. The background of this poem is the motif of the longing of a young monk monk Mukeon who practices in a temple in the mountains and a woman in the neighborhood who loves him.”
‘A monk and a woman in the neighborhood?’
Professor Yang Yoo-jong had the image of a poem drawn in his head at Jang Tae-san’s words.
I don’t know the content of the poem yet, but I felt something.
“Of course, a monk and a woman were destined to be inextricably linked. While admiring a monk, the woman suffers from a love affair. Upon learning of this, the monk runs to Iljumun. I wanted to prevent a precious life from disappearing in vain because of me. But fate didn’t allow them. As the monk was about to leave Iljumun, the bier of a woman who died of love sickness approached in front of Iljumun.
The story was fresh.
“And the monk, who finds a flower of Sangsanghwa in front of Iljumun, ends his three-year silence and recites a poem for the woman who appeared in front of him on a bier. Then… let’s start the presentation.”
It wasn’t like love.
When the narrative background was explained in the poem, Professor Yujong Yang and his students were deeply immersed.
It was something that could have been made into a novel.
Swoop.
Goyeonji standing side by side on top of the pulpit where Jangtaesan is standing.
The two faced each other.
Jang Tae-san gazes at Koyeonji hotly.
“…..”
A heavy atmosphere.
There was no sound system, but everyone fell into fantasy imagining the background of the poem Jang Tae-san talked about.
And…
“Somehow…
If I left without meeting you in this life,
just know that I left with a deep, red bloody resentment…”
