[313] Guerrilla warfare. 3
I was curious about who he was dealing with and what kind of business he was dealing with, but his father’s continued words put an end to his curiosity.
“But you can’t just ignore it. Everything that can be scraped must be scraped. Big stems and small branches are all important. got it?”
I nodded my head, but I couldn’t quite figure out what the deal my father was talking about.
“My father still doesn’t seem relieved. Isn’t the big deal you’re talking about easy?”
“okay. If it were easy, would I be this sensitive?”
When Jin Kyung-jun wanted to ask more questions, Vice Chairman Jin Young-ki turned the topic around with a very sensitive story.
“But you’re not saying you’re sorry.”
“yes?”
“The Foundation. Made for you…”
He had a lot to say, but he held back. His father made a foundation like a hollow gangjeong and handed it over to him, but he didn’t get angry.
This is because if the father breaks his promise to inherit many things first, then he is exonerated for betraying his parents and siblings and allying with his cousin.
“It’s okay, father. What matters now is not me. Keeping what we have in our family is our priority. You can leave my share slowly. Don’t worry too much.”
Jin Kyung-jun read the admiration in his father’s eyes looking at him.
It wasn’t until I was in my mid-thirties that I realized how to open my parents’ wallets without having to ask for help.
The way is to take care of my share without relying on my parents. Just then, this unexpected thing happens.
The tightly closed wallet will open smoothly.
“okay. Don’t be in a hurry, just wait a bit. I’ve thought of everything and I’m preparing. I will never feel sorry for this Abby. haha.”
Jin Kyung-jun felt sorry for his father’s hand stroking his back, but brushed off his regret thinking about what he would have.

“Doesn’t Jin Young-joon find a wife well?”
“Didn’t you sign an in-law relationship with the media to use this when you need it? But who did this project? editor-in-chief? Or the chief pencil?”
“It’s both. A fantastic combination. I also hung out with those nobles often when I served the president…”
The Hansung Ilbo opened fire with a summary of Rachel’s press conference and shot readers with an editorial.
The frame was framed by defining the acquisition of a domestic company by a foreign investor as an extortion, not an outflow of national wealth.
Miracle suddenly turned into Oriental Development Co., Ltd., and Rachel expressed it as Ito Hirobumi, the founder of the company.
The Korean Miracle in Yeouido is a pawn in the exploitation of national wealth and has turned into a traitor.
“That is the strength that endured for nearly a hundred years even in the harsh years. Take a good look now. Tomorrow, foreign capital will turn into extorted capital and make a noise in the media?”
“It’s a world where even the president is stepping up and advertising that he will attract foreign capital, but they are setting their own standards.”
“Even a few days ago, the Hanseong Ilbo clamored that our economy would only survive if we brought in foreign capital. Such shamelessness is the secret to survival and strength.”
“I have to say hello to those brazen men. Chairman, please make a seat for me.”
Chairman Lee Hak-jae could not stand the laughter.
“Arthur. these guys can’t How do you stop the owner from siding with her in-laws? Even if you shower me with money, I won’t be shaken.”
If everything is solved with money alone, I am already the chairman of the Sunyang Group.
Money is a symbol of desire, but not everything. What matters is desire.
“And even if those two turned to your side, nothing would change much. The Hanseong Ilbo has a lot of writers. A replacement will come soon.”
“Are you sure those two are the main pillars of the current Hansung Daily?”
“It is.”
“Then it’s worth a try. If the main beam is pulled out, those who become the next main beam will not take root in the Hansung Daily. If there is a precedent, we follow it.”
“What do you mean?”
“All you have to do is crack the tightly united Hansung Ilbo. You’ll know when you’re done, so please take a seat.”
Chairman Lee Hak-jae let out a long sigh and picked up the receiver.
Before meeting the two main beams, I was busy running around making some preliminary preparations. Of course, during that time, the onslaught of the Hansung Ilbo did not stop, and other media also covered a little about the infiltration of foreign capital.
I met them when the issues raised by the Hansung Ilbo became enough to be dealt with on a TV debate program.
“I have committed a rudeness, but I believe you will be kind enough to understand.”
The two were surprised when I appeared in place of Chairman Lee Hak-jae, but soon relaxed with victorious smiles.
“He says everything. Seeing it in person like this, it seems that the rumors floating around are true.”
“Oh, that rumor? Are you saying that I am the owner of Miracle?”
“Otherwise, would you have anything to be ashamed of with us? Because we are the only ones who are pouring an onslaught on Miracle right now.”
conceited attitude.
They think I’m here to lower my stance and compromise.
“The veracity of the rumors will gradually come to light. As expected, the tip of the pen was sharper than money. HW Sunyang Financial and Sunyang Heavy Industries affiliates should have spent as much advertising as Sunyang Electronics.”
A look of discomfort was reflected on their faces for a moment, but they soon regained their smiles.
“Why are you doing this? Surely you don’t intend to block our mouths with the amount of advertisements, right?”
“Isn’t there nothing like the Hanseong Ilbo among print advertisements? You must have seen enough of the advertising effect, right?”
It’s still a confident attitude.
They are not wrong. If you hit the Hanseong Ilbo with just one advertisement for an apartment, the number of phone calls flooding in.
This is because most of the rich and wealthy in this country are subscribers to the Hansung Daily. It is not easy to blackmail the power of the Hansung Ilbo, which has the largest purchasing power as subscribers, with advertising volume.
“Oh, I tried condescendingly once. Advertisements and articles are separate issues. I’m not that narrow-minded. haha.”
When the first meeting was over, the editor-in-chief said with his eyes shining.
“Seeing that you are talking about the advertising volume of HW and Sunyang Financial Construction as if you were holding it in your hands… it seems that you have no intention of hiding it anymore.”
“Are there one or two reporters that my sister-in-law has assigned to me? It’s hard to hide it even if I just check the people I meet.”
The two looked at each other and cleared their throats.
“Ah, it seems you didn’t get a report. This… I said nothing…”
“There is no reason for us to be briefed. It is a private chore.”
“Aren’t you the ones who jumped in to help my sister-in-law with a piece of wood called the Hanseong Ilbo in that private family fight? The director and the chief editor?”
A chill flowed over the well-prepared Korean table.
“Eating a meal is so inconvenient that I want it…”
The chief editor of the Hanseong Ilbo set the spoon down on the table enough to make a clicking sound.
“I was expecting a lot because I was a young man praised by the whole world… but this is disappointing. Is it all about being sarcastic just because you don’t like the article? I’m not the kind of person who’s big enough to eat while listening to his sarcasm, so I’ll get up first.”
The editor-in-chief also lifted his butt, noticing the editor-in-chief.
“I’m going to stop talking about the company and start talking about my personal story…. It won’t be a loss.”
I closed my eyes and filled an empty glass. It’s hard to bend your pride if you look straight ahead. Isn’t a snowball fight a fight for pride?
It seemed to know without looking. The editor-in-chief will wink at the editor-in-chief and pull up his sleeves.
The two returned to their seats and drank from their filled glasses.
I spoke on behalf of those who were reluctant to open their mouths first.
“I didn’t create this place to ask you to write an article favorable to me, nor to ask for an editorial to praise foreign capital that Sunyang Electronics is targeting.”
“Stop talking and get to the point. What is your personal story?”
The editor-in-chief snapped and said.
“For personal reasons, why don’t you two break your pen? If you stop, your hand holding the pen and your eyes staring at the manuscript will get tired.”
“what? Because I said let’s see…. Do you think it’s sweet?”
This time, the editor-in-chief was hot, but the editor-in-chief was rather calm.
“Let’s listen to the end.”
He even seemed to have a faint smile on his face.
Inspiration…. One notice is quick. That’s why it survived until now.
“What do you think we should do if we leave the pen and the manuscript away? That’s all I’ve learned…?”
“If you finish your studies and build up solid specs, you should get a job. How long are you going to study?”
The editor-in-chief did not hide his disgusted expression.
“What you’ve barely come up with is an executive position with high salaries as bait? You’re just a kid, you don’t know yet that that doesn’t work for everyone.”
When the director’s expression changes, how will his tone change?
“If someone who just finished studying wants a high salary and an executive position, he is a person who is far from lacking. I’m thinking of offering a part-time position.”
Even the most ignorant person knows that my proposal is not ordinary. There is only one non-regular position suitable for the director and editorial staff of the largest newspaper.
The two swallowed their saliva and just looked at each other. Now you just have to wait until they open their mouths with a smile.
The first to speak was the editor-in-chief.
“We can go to that part-time position whenever we want. I’m telling you that I think you’re mistaken for something great.”
“Those who got a job in Yeouido on the back of a media company… Isn’t that a media company? You have to speak according to the script given by the company, act as a flag bearer, and stand in line as instructed… So, among former journalists, seeing a senior member of parliament is a star in the sky.”
“You should investigate further. There are many middle-class lawmakers.”
The chieftain smiled softly and said.
“Those middle-ranking lawmakers are the ones who have succeeded with individual skills. You were a star before you wore the badge of the National Assembly, right? Enough to get a lot of love calls from Yeouido… If the two of them were stars like that, they would have already worked in Yeouido, not Gwanghwamun.”
They quickly poured a glass of alcohol to hide their blushing.
“A first-time lawmaker who is completely independent from the company and keeps his convictions without paying attention to anyone. Shouldn’t you say that you are a journalist at this level?”
“Would you like me to write an article favorable to you using the badge of a member of the National Assembly as bait? Does that mean you’re buying a seat instead of buying an article with an ad?”
“You didn’t hear what I was saying. I’ve never been asked to write lyrics. They told me to break the pen holder.”
The two of them frowned as if they still didn’t understand the exact meaning of my words.
“It means to write your resignation and prepare to go to Yeouido. I’ll give you a gold badge at next year’s general election. I will let you enter as a confident constituency member, not a trivial proportional representative.”
Being nominated for a member of the National Assembly is a price that can only be obtained after a long period of loyalty. Not everyone can get even that.
They have to fight bloody battles in the media and survive, and the timing of the elections that come every four years must be right. Lastly, you should also follow the luck of empty seats. To go to Yeouido next year on the condition of quitting the job instead of such an uncertain promise
.
“It’s an old English bourgeois ploy to get rid of good tax officials by promoting them to better positions. You are also smart. Uh-huh.”
“You know that. At that time, no tax officer turned down a promotion. They were clever too.”
That laugh is not the laugh you get when you decline an offer.
It is a clever inspiration.
