[018] Era of the Ordinary Person 3.
Since 1980, as the government established a gas supply expansion plan to promote the high quality of household fuel and materialized the LNG introduction plan, a number of private city gas operators appeared in the metropolitan area and large cities. .
On October 31, 1986, the city gas business began in earnest when a ship carrying 57,300 tons of LNG arrived at the Pyeongtaek receiving base for the first time.
Energy for urban households is rapidly changing from briquettes and oil to natural gas.
The Soviet Union is a huge resource powerhouse, supplying 30% of Europe’s natural gas. If anything, the deadliest move of diplomacy is threatening to close the valve?
The effect of this outrageous threat was enormous. When the Soviet Union closes the valves on the gas pipeline, Europe must plunge into cold and darkness.
The Soviet government controls ‘Gazprom’, which is exclusively responsible for the production, distribution and sales of its own natural gas.
This is because Gazprom is a state-owned company with more than half of its board members holding high-ranking positions such as ministers and vice ministers of the Russian government.
If Sunyang had exclusive right to import natural gas from the Soviet Union and supplied it to private city gas companies, it would be no different than getting a valve on the Soviet gas pipeline.
Excessive profits are extracted from monopoly power alone.
Sunyang set the goal to be obtained in the current government’s northern policy early on.
“okay. Take care of that on your own… More than that, it’s academic.”
“yes. President.”
“what do you think about it?”
The chairman’s glance pointed to the separate room.
“Are you talking about Do-joon?”
When Chairman Jin nodded, Chief of Staff Lee Hak-jae smiled lightly.
“Cotyledons are good.”
“Only the cotyledon?”
“We will make a decision in 10 years. Even a great cotyledon is uprooted in a single typhoon.”
“Is Do-joon the father?”
Chairman Jin thought of a wonderful cotyledon that had been uprooted and blown away.
“Well, Yoongi changed after going to study in England. It was quite usable.”
A voice full of regret. However, Chief of Staff Lee Hak-jae even spoke a worse opinion without a moment’s agitation.
This is because he is one of the few aides who can say anything bitter to Chairman Jin without hesitation.
“I am Do-joon, born to an artist father and an actress mother. Maybe you have conditions that are most likely to change drastically.”
“Do-joon’s mother is just a beauty. You should consider that you have become an actor with your face. I have no temperament.”
I wanted to ask on what basis they judged that, but I stopped. It may be right because the president has an unusual eye for people.
Chief of Staff Lee Hak-jae turned the topic back to Do-joon.
“But the president’s excessive affection was understandable at first glance. It is unique.”
“Such a waste. too young If he had been the eldest son, he would have been very reassuring.”
There was a hint of deep sadness in his voice.
“Isn’t it enough for the president to be healthy for a long time?”
“How many cousins does Dojun have? And three great fathers and great aunts. It’s impossible.”
A light sigh and a shake of the head tell us of the real difficulties. No matter how much money you have, it is not a means to advance time.
“If it grows as it is now, wouldn’t it be okay to leave a few subsidiaries? Wouldn’t that be a blessing if the company you were in charge of grew?”
“How many throws? There’s no way the kids are alone. I’m going to run like a wolf and tear your erections apart.”
Will the wolves just watch the delicious meat of the cute puppy? Since the father who will protect the cute puppy is not interested in the meat, the outcome is obvious.
Lee Hak-jae, who knew what kind of people Chairman Jin’s three sons and only daughter were, realized that his thoughts were useless.
“How are you?”
“yes? What do you mean…?”
“If Do-Jun remains smart after 10 years, whose side will you side with? Youngjoon, the eldest son? Or Do-joon?”
Chief of Staff Lee Hak-jae clearly recognized Chairman Jin’s intentions. He wants to pass on the company to his youngest grandson, enough to not be lacking.
And he nominated himself as an escort for his youngest grandson.
“Whoever it is, I have to take the side of the chairman of Sunyang Group.”
When Lee Hak-jae spoke with a smile, Chairman Jin also burst into laughter.
I liked this attitude.
Move your thoughts and actions according to your will. Because that will matches the chair of the president himself, it is only seen as loyalty to others.
“Even if the person named the chairman who succeeded me is dumber than you, can you serve me as you do now?”
“Jegal Gongmyeong of Shukguk also faithfully served the retarded emperor.”
“It’s because you’re so retarded that you don’t have it. Because he acted as emperor himself with a scarecrow in front of him.”
“Are you doing too much? How could you undermine the loyalty of Zhuge Gongmyeong like that? haha.”
Lee Hak-jae burst into laughter, but Chairman Jin did not.
It showed that his words were sincere.
Lee Hak-jae hurriedly stopped laughing and lowered his head.
“sorry. President.”
“what?”
“I didn’t know you were thinking of Do-jun that much.”
Lee Hak-jae couldn’t lift his head because he couldn’t look straight at President Jin, who showed a cold face.
“If Dojunie grows up to be a decent vessel, take care of him. If I separate three or four companies and hand them over, my children will try to steal them. Just block it.”
“I will keep that in mind.”
Only then did Chairman Jin straighten his hardened face and smile.
“So don’t die before me! Stop drinking and smoking and take a vacation.”
“A trip abroad with the president is no different from a vacation.”
Lee Hak-jae could not relax yet.
I couldn’t erase the anxiety that today’s mistake would catch my ankle forever.
* * *
On May 5, 1988, a girl with the rather long name Adele Laurie Blue Adkins was born to a single-parent family in Tottenham, North London, England. I went on a picnic to Seoul Land, which hadn’t even opened yet.
I don’t know what method was used, but the official opening of Seoul Land is still a week away.
It’s a hectic time with last-minute preparations for opening, but a number of staff are waiting for our family.
We are only 25 people, but if you combine the staff of Sunyang Group and Seoul Land, there are more than 100 people.
I checked again. these are really selfish Even my parents, who are the least humane in their family, don’t seem to be aware of the fact that they are selfish.
Most of the numerous group attendants have families and probably have children. Looking at the age group, there are obviously a number of heads of households who have been waiting for Children’s Day.
Has anyone ever thought about what they really feel like?
Only I know their feelings.
Although they are watching the every move of the chairman’s family, their heads will be filled with thoughts of their children alone with their mother.
The guilt they feel towards their families and the hurt of their children.
In return, we are playing comfortably like this.
Seeing this absurd thing with my own eyes, I couldn’t pretend to be amused.
“Don’t you think Dojunin is very interesting?”
Someone comes up to me and smiles and talks to me.
Who is it?
Familiar as if I’ve seen it somewhere
“I am the one who works with your grandfather.”
“Are you the CEO of an affiliate?”
“what? haha. What to do with this… Not the boss yet. is the secretary. It is a very low position.”
chief secretary? Could it be that gentleman?
“Your name…?”
“Ohh! be polite I know how to use the word name. That’s right, I don’t know your name, so you should know my name too. My name is Lee Hak-jae, the head of the group secretary office. Do-joon’s father calls me hyung-nim? so you call me uncle don’t call me by name haha.”
I stopped walking slowly.
He is the person that Chairman Jin treated like the eldest son more than Jin Young-ki, the eldest son.
His position was the head of the department, but his position was the president, and he was known to be one level higher than the president of the electronic car, the core of Sunyang.
If Hak-jae Lee rejected any issue, President Jin rejected it unconditionally, and even if Hak-jae Lee had a private meeting with Hak-jae Lee for two or three hours, he had such a strong influence that the president would withdraw his approval.
At the end of the second-generation succession scheme, when Jin Young-ki took office as chairman, he threw down his resignation letter and retired. I don’t know much about this person.
Rumors diverged in two directions.
The first is the heartwarming story of Chairman Jin Young-ki holding onto him, but if it was natural for a person of the old era to step down when the world changes, he quit voluntarily, refusing even the position of advisor to the group.
The second was very different.
As soon as Jin Young-gi took office as chairman, he was the first to rob Lee Hak-jae. It is said that he was planning to expose Chairman Jin Yang-cheol’s corruption when he held an enormous amount of borrowed-name stock and did not release it.
However, Lee Hak-jae is also not an easygoing person.
He also held in both hands the evidence of Jin’s family’s illegal evasion and shouted that he could set fire to the Sunyang group.
There is no way to know forever whether Lee Hak-jae holds borrowed-name stocks, and the official announcement ended with him stepping down with a huge severance pay in his pocket.
The same legendary figure asks me to call him Uncle.
“yes. Uncle.”
He was called his uncle with great strength.
It is because even if the world is divided into two sides, I have to make this person a strong ally of mine.
“By the way, don’t you ride the rides? Even adults like it that way.”
I could see not only cousins my age but also adults snooping at the place Lee Hak-jae pointed at.
“Can’t you see any other adults that Uncle doesn’t like?”
“Another adult? who?”
Without saying a word, I raised my hand toward the place Lee Hak-jae pointed out.
Lee Hak-jae frowned and looked at me for a while.
“who? There is no one.”
As expected…
This person is already from another world.
People who do not belong to their world do not come into their eyes. As a perfect butler, it seems that he has elevated himself to the status of a master as he puts his servants and servants under his feet.
“I mean working adults. Can’t you see?”
In an instant, Lee Hak-jae’s eyes widened.
I, too, am feeling anxious.
How will you take my word for it?
