[159] Double-edged sword 2
As he spoke forcefully one letter at a time and bluntly revealed that he wasn’t scared at all, Jin Young-ki frowned.
“Are you kidding me right now?”
“No human being is perfect. So let’s say it’s a mistake. For a big mover like ours, that mistake could be fatal. Especially when a place like the National Tax Service hangs on to that mistake. How can you not be afraid?”
Jin Young-gi looked at Oh Se-hyeon, who spoke shamelessly, for a while, then smiled slightly.
“I thought all of Yoongi’s friends were arrogant… Even if I look at it wrong, I look at it a lot wrong. Both Yoongi and his friends… they are not normal.”
Jin Yeong-ki, who changed his attitude in an instant, showed composure like a vice-president of Sunyang.
“good. Let’s move on to the trivial stuff like a piece of stock and go big. Take all the company Miracle ate and come under Sunyang’s umbrella. I am willing to pay for anything you want.”
“It’s not about shouting out loud. Do you know what the corporate value of our HW Group is?”
It was hard to hold back Jin Young-ki’s arrogance, so he shot a few words, but he only listened.
“Oh CEO, aren’t you an expert on that? Let’s do M&A. I will evaluate the corporate value calmly and give everything according to the results.”
“The big story comes after solving the small problem. Please stop the Financial Supervisory Service from looking at our Miracle through a microscope. Then I can finish here.”
“What do you mean?”
“We couldn’t just be idly by, so we looked around a bit. He did a bit of a whirlwind.”
Jin Young-ki’s eyebrows twitched, but he soon regained his composure.
“What a big deal. In our country, that level is a minor violation. When CEO Oh drives, doesn’t he sometimes make an illegal U-turn? That’s about it.”
“It’s an illegal U-turn. I do it sometimes. But not when drunk. This is a drunk driving plus a violation of the center line.”
“Drinking? What do you mean?”
“Because the exchange rate money flowed into the gambling house. Checking out who it is now. Oh, since that account is a subsidiary of Sunyang, it will be difficult for you to say you don’t know.”
Oh Se-hyeon did not tell Vice President Jin Young-ki the name of his wife and looked at him.
I was curious about the reaction to the word gambling hall, but it was very different from what I expected.
This is not a reaction he would show if he knew that his wife was the target. His expression was expressionless, as if he had heard it for the first time or hadn’t heard the word gambling.
“I have to hear one news in my ears today. Official investigation by the Financial Supervisory Service and the end of the investigation. If you don’t hear the news, there will be news about an illegal U-turn of a drunk driver tomorrow.”
“Did I just say gambling? Overseas expedition gambling?”
“yes. That is the essence of drunk driving. And you don’t have to tell me who the driver is, you know?”
To Jin Young-gi, who hardened in an instant, Oh Se-hyeon put his business card on the table and stood up.
“This is my cell phone number. Until today. Remember.”
Oh Se-hyun, leaving the vice-president’s office, frowned.
“Don’t you know that the nobleman’s wife is addicted to gambling?”
* * *
Vice Chairman Jin Young-ki, who was left alone, thought deeply about the words Oh Se-hyun left, but it was difficult to grasp the situation. The problem is that there are not just one or two foreign currency exchange accounts.
The stolen dollars are being used not only in the United States but also in many countries. They buy villas or luxury houses, or buy land or buildings where they can make money.
Of course, it is also used for personal entertainment, but gambling!
If it’s enough for Oh Se-hyun to shout, it’s not the fun level of pulling a slot machine a few times at roulette…
“Call Manager Choi. Tell them to pull out all their foreign exchange accounts and bring them.”
After shouting into the intercom, I walked around the room.
When Manager Choi came in with a thick document file, Jin Young-gi squealed.
“Are you hiding something from me?”
“yes? What do you mean…?”
Director Choi was startled by the sound that seemed to pop out redheads at night.
“Is there anything suspicious about the withdrawal of money from the account? You didn’t report it to me.”
I knew from Choi’s surprised expression that I had made a mistake. There was no separate report unless it was a special case.
“Is there anything unusual about getting out of the big money again? By your standards?”
Like a person who has lived his whole life looking at numbers, he understood it easily.
Director Choi quickly flipped through the file and pulled out a few pages to hand over.
“What’s this?”
“This is the list your wife used. Among them, I think the highlight is what the vice president is looking for. When I asked my wife, she said that I didn’t have to know…”
When Vice Chairman Jin Young-ki quickly checked the last total, he even wondered if he had seen it wrong.
“Four to three hundred billion?”
Director Choi hesitated, not knowing what to do with the vice president’s attitude, but had nothing more to say.
I just guessed from the startled look that even if an accident had occurred, a very serious accident had occurred.
“Are you sure about this? Did my wife write it?”
“yes. It was mainly withdrawn from the United States and occasionally used in Morocco.”
When Vice Chairman Jin Young-ki frowned and waved his hand, Manager Choi ran away. I guessed that there was a noise at the vice president’s house today, and I even sent a kind text message to my close colleagues asking them to postpone the payment no matter how urgent it is.
Jin Young-ki came up with Oh Se-hyun’s warning first than his anger at his wife, who even committed an illegal U-turn while driving drunk.
He hurriedly called the chief of staff and took action.
“Tell the Strategic Public Relations Office firmly. In the future, if there is a media company that publishes even one unsavory article, warn me that I will personally take responsibility.”
Sensing that there was a problem in the family, the chief of staff called a meeting and rushed out. You can prevent the wind from blowing by mobilizing all your personal connections in the company.
Left alone again, Jin Young-gi was able to calm his mind.
“Oh Se-Hyun, bastard……”
The corner of his mouth went up a little. Even if Oh Se-hyeon imitates an emerging conglomerate, South Korea is in the hands of Sun-yang.
It will make it clear that no media outlet writes an article without Sunyang’s permission.
* * *
As if to prove Sunyang’s power, not a single word appeared in the morning newspaper and TV news the next day about gambling or outflow of foreign currency from overseas accounts.
Jin Young-ki checked the media situation once again and put his mind at ease. Now, we have to make Oh Se-hyeon shed tears of blood for making threats like this. How dare you…!
He urged the Financial Supervisory Service to investigate. If there is one useful clue, the National Tax Service will be mobilized and the Miracle will be stripped away.
When you scream and ask for help, you can enter into M&A negotiations again.
Jin Young-gi, who relieved his anxiety somewhat, was thinking of starting a house crackdown. I decided to have a drink with the executives to enjoy the comfortable feeling before I broke up with my mother-in-law and my troublesome son.
However, when I was enjoying a drinking party with usable women that evening, I felt that something was going wrong when I saw the expression of the chief secretary who rushed over.
“what?”
“Vice President. This once…”
The paper the chief secretary held out was a print of an internet article, and as soon as he read the first sentence of the article, his face crinkled.
『Ruined Gambling Board』
― A person who knows everyone by name.
― Caught enjoying a multi-million dollar gamble at a famous casino in Las Vegas.
― Luxurious shopping by the chaebol family.
― It is understood that local hotel casinos in Las Vegas employ Korean gambling hosts to provide services to regular Korean customers.
― Quoting the words of some casino officials, it is estimated that the amount that Mr. P, the eldest daughter-in-law of S Group, spent in a local casino in the United States would amount to tens of billions of won in Korean money.
― I spent 3 million dollars in 3 days and covered it with slush funds withdrawn from the branch’s foreign exchange account.
― Confirm that local casinos send private planes to some customers, and provide suites and golf courses for free.
“This is an article in the newspaper this morning, local time in the United States. ‘Korea Time Journal’ is the most influential Korean newspaper.”
“Did this just explode?”
“yes. Speaking of S Group P…”
“I know you bastard! You don’t have to check!”
“I’m sorry.”
The chief of staff bowed his head and stepped back.
The executives who sat together stared at the table, staring at each other, but could not open their mouths.
As the cold chill settled down on the drinking table, Vice Chairman Jin Young-ki slowly opened his mouth.
“What are you doing?”
Executives lifted their bowed heads.
“You already know what’s going on, don’t you? Do you want to keep drinking and dancing here? Should I come up with a solution?”
“ah! yes. sorry.”
As executives rose to their feet, Vice Chairman Jin did not forget the warning.
“I have to finish this article in America. You should never come to Korea. And all the heads of corporations in the Americas are returned to Korea and placed on standby. Where are these babies spend money? You can’t even stop an article like this!”
At the empty drinking party, where the women he was with also left, Vice Chairman Jin Young-ki fidgeted with his cell phone.
The time he hesitated about whether or not to call Oh Se-hyeon grew longer.
* * *
“I’m not the type of person who doesn’t have a drinking buddy to write a masterpiece…”
Oh Se-hyeon sat across from Jin Young-ki and trembled.
“How many morning newspapers did you roast and boil?”
“About two for now?”
“first?”
“By the day after tomorrow, all media outlets will be reporting on it. Ah, the Hansung Ilbo will be missed.”
Jin Young-ki filled Oh Se-hyun’s glass with alcohol.
“Let’s do it all the way?”
“Isn’t it common for each other? The vice president started it first.”
Veins began to protrude from Jin Young-ki’s forehead. If you don’t have a corner to believe in, it’s an act that Oh Se-hyun would never do. What is it?
“This… it’s getting hard for me to stop now. If a rumor circulates that you were stepped on by CEO Oh, you won’t be able to attend the FKI meeting.”
“Is it okay for a business owner to do something that loses his face?”
“President Oh is saying that easily because he hasn’t left the hole-in-the-wall store yet. When you grow three to four times the size of your current company, you will learn that face is the most important thing.”
Jin Young-gi emptied his glass and stood up.
“Wouldn’t it be ruined to the extent that the National Tax Service is leaking? Take good care of the company. One day, I will become a member of the Sunyang Group.”
“Stop worrying about me, pay your bills and go. I have no money.”
Jin Young-ki glared at Oh Se-hyeon, who was still making fun of him, and disappeared.
“You’re the type that can’t see anything when you’re excited. We inherited the same blood, but it’s nice to see that everyone is different…”
Oh Se-hyeon remembered Jin Do-jun and started emptying the dishes on the table one by one.
Tomorrow, you will be able to know the distribution of vice chairman Jin Young-ki.
* * *
About a dozen people standing motionless in the conference room prayed for Vice President Jin Young-ki not to appear, but that did not happen.
As soon as the vice-president entered the conference room, he tossed the newspaper in his hand.
“What the hell are you guys doing? Can’t you stop it even if you know the article is flying? Didn’t you say you didn’t know me because it wasn’t your wife’s business?”
For at least an hour or more from now on, I have to accept the harsh words that the vice president pours out. That’s what their salary is worth.
But it didn’t last more than a minute, let alone an hour.
This is because the secretary’s office staff ran into the meeting room breathing heavily.
