[317] Give-and-take 3
“Vice Chairman Jin Young-ki is not stupid enough to do something that shouldn’t be done. This is not the time to start a fuss again.”
“There will be no problem with Sunyang Ad Media. But I can’t stand still in a large institution when Sunyang Mulsan eats away at my own weight…” I was
so absurd that I kept saying empty words.
I managed to shake off the shock and come to my senses.
This is not the time.
I have to check how far my uncle used his hands. Chairman Lee said as he watched me run outside.
“This is an impossible plan without approval from the other side. know?”
“yes. I will be in charge of Sejongno, so the Chairman…”
“I will be in charge of Yeouido. let’s move fast Breaking down the main gun is the best way.”
As soon as I returned to the main building in Sunyang, I called Vice President Jang Do-hyung.
“Release someone from the Financial Supervisory Service to find out about the merger with Sunyang Corporation.”
“yes? A product merger?”
“It seems that Vice Chairman Jin Young-ki tried his hand. It’s an ulterior motive to attract Sunyang Ad Media and increase its control over the product industry.”
“this…!”
He frowned and tapped his forehead.
“What is it? Anything else?”
“Soonyang Admedia said they were doing a paid-in capital increase. It’s an unlisted company, and it’s like a private company, but I thought they were doing all sorts of useless things…” ”
When was that?”
“It was two days ago. I will check again.”
I’m trying to increase the number of stocks. This is because the amount of stocks is directly converted into shares of Sunyang Mulsan.
“Check all the chirashi floating around in the Yeouido Stock Exchange and make a comprehensive report. You know? The primary goal is to cancel the merger.”
“yes. Manager.”
Vice President Jang Do-hyung ran out with a spleen expression on his face, and I took a breath and picked up the receiver.
“Senior. Let’s have a cup of tea. in that room. Right Now.”
＊＊＊
I arrived at the hotel room that was given one by one to the Blue House chiefs and waited.
“Oh, you are scared. Why was our manager so angry…”
“Don’t say that you didn’t know or that it’s the first time you’ve heard of it. It is not possible without the Blue House’s knowledge. No, the VIP may not know, but at least the chief would have known.”
“Are you doing this because of Sunyang Mulsan?”
“As expected…you know it well.”
The chief economist scratched his head as if embarrassed.
“Isn’t it something we can’t do to prevent private companies from merging?”
“Is Sunyang Mulsan a corner store? It is a company with a market capitalization of over 15 trillion. The movement of such a company has already gone beyond the private realm. Vice-Chairman Jin Young-ki is not stupid enough to do such a ridiculous thing without the government promising to turn a blind eye… or actively cooperate.”
Perhaps because of my argumentative attitude, the smile disappeared from his face.
“This… I’m about to get hurt. It’s a merger that hasn’t even been done yet… Do I have to make an excuse? or not? Can you stop the general meeting of shareholders? Shall we bring in the police and send a water cannon?”
This guy is cocky.
Since he went to work at the Blue House for about four years without replacement, ministers and lawmakers must have waved their tails, inciting him to be influential, and since he is the head of the economy, he must have had a sick bed with the presidents of large companies.
Chaebols are now commonplace to this guy, and conglomerates are scattered here and there. Maybe it’s natural that I don’t bow my head anymore.
“Senior.”
He smiled at him as he glared at me.
“I am well aware of the difficulty of being caught between Vice Chairman Jin Young-ki and myself. In this case, don’t worry about which line to take, just listen to what both sides want. When there is a conflict of interest between us, we step aside. It gets even more difficult if you poke both sides here and there just to show off your strength.”
“what?”
“Ah, what you need to be more careful about is that you are mistaken for a weight on a scale. Don’t fool around imitating Santa with a sack of presents, just move as you turn the steering wheel.”
In the meantime, I did not lose my manners and treated him, but there was no room for that. Now, I had to turn it the way I wanted, whether it was shaking the topknot or pulling out the beard.
“Shall I put your face on the front page of the central daily newspaper tomorrow? If you want, the evening news of the broadcasting company is fine. At the end of the presidential term, the chief economic officer caught the Blue House. It would be a dream to wear a member of the National Assembly badge and change jobs to defend the president who is about to retire during the general election next year… What should I do? It looks like water bubbles.”
“If you’re thinking of threatening something that won’t happen, stop. Until now, there has been no financial power that has overcome power. They say that if we point with our fingers, the NIS and the prosecution will move.”
“Is it really so?”
Seeing the sneer on my lips, he bit his lip.
“National Intelligence Service? Director over there, shall we guess what you ate for lunch today and who you ate with?”
“what?”
“The director is appointed by the president, but the working-level staff are civil servants. They look more at the shadow meeting, the 0B group responsible for their old age, than the director who will leave with this regime. Do you know whose money the black club runs on?”
When the chief economic officer found out that I had reached out to the NIS, he couldn’t keep his mouth shut.
“You think you’ve taken over the world? Do you think there will be someone who will stand in front of the remaining power for 1 year even with the 5-year time-limited power? It’s been a long time since the world has bowed down to money, not power. I forgot about it for a moment because I was sitting in the Blue House.”
I called him who still couldn’t speak.
“Hey, Chief.”
His blank eyes turned to me.
“When I was in puberty, I put up with what I wanted to play and studied to the point where I would die and go to Seoul National University… Oh, I know. In order to catch my grandfather’s eyes, I went to Seoul National University’s law school after studying while spitting blood. Come to think of it, you are my senior. Anyway, I’m not saying I’m going to sell that kind of alumni…”
I drank a glass of water and passed it to him.
“Do you think your status has changed since you made a president and entered the Blue House? I used to wait on the floor, but now I see bug-like people crawling on the floor, and reporters follow me when I open my mouth, so it makes me feel like a real person in power in this country, right?”
The chief economist seems to have already forgotten to bring it to his mouth, just grabbing a glass of water.
“By the way, the rise in status? If it’s that easy, why add the word identity? There are only two types of identities. A person who can throw an opponent into a gutter with a single word, and a person who does everything they are told to avoid being thrown into a gutter. Where do you think you belong?”
Now it’s time to show the economist the reality.
I took out my smartphone, turned on the speaker, and made a call.
“Prosecutor General. Did you get the data?”
– Yes. Chief. But would this be okay?
A slightly worried voice came out.
“it’s okay. The fire will be opened by the media, not the prosecution. The prosecution will keep the appearance of a quick investigation.”
When he realized that the media would publish an article first, the prosecutor’s voice was much lighter.
Then we will check the broadcast and start the investigation.
“The District Attorney General.”
– Yes.
“As the chief of the Blue House, if you feel burdened, you can cover it.”
一 No. Covering up such solid evidence is dereliction of duty.
As soon as the call was over, he shouted.
“What kind of data is this?!”
“It is a material that the media and prosecutors will be very interested in. Go through your memory. What is it? ah…! It’s not just one or two, so it must be difficult to recall memories at once, right?”
Realizing the reality he was facing, he sighed and said:
“What the hell do you want? As I have already said, it is difficult for me to stop Vice Chairman Jin Young-ki from proceeding.”
His tone of voice also seems to have become more polite.
“then? Did you even approve the VIP?”
“I don’t know. To what extent does it move….”
“Do you think it makes sense that the head of economics does not know about conglomerate mergers?”
“Because it’s true! All I was told was to prepare a press briefing just in case. You know very well that it’s a place where you shouldn’t be curious about things that move without my knowledge, right?”
“Okay, anyway. Then what do you know?”
“All I did was say hello. I came out to eat with the Deputy Prime Minister of Economy and said that I would like to take care of you in the future, but nothing else. After that, I was notified of the merger.”
“Vice Chairman Jin Young-ki personally said hello? no way…?”
He’s not the kind of person who would show his face directly for a favor. That much is enough for Chief Secretary Baek Joon-hyeok.
“No, Jin Yeongjun is here.”
“Jin Yeongjun?”
“exactly. Now, group management is going to be loud and bang, saying that it is responsible for itself. Doesn’t that mean that you will come to the fore at the same time as the succession?”
“Then, did Vice Chairman Jin Young-ki never show up for this merger, and Jin Young-joon went around one by one?”
“Perhaps. Vice Chairman Jin Young-ki, who will inherit all of the group’s shares, now advertises himself as a toothless tiger. I want to raise my son.”
It is tearful to see them struggling to be parents.
“Senior.”
“yes.”
“It seems that the rumors are wrong.”
“What rumors are you talking about?”
“Rumors that the chief is a real person. It would be unprecedented for a powerful person to not be involved in something as important as this.”
“Hey! Chief Jin!”
When he screamed again, I waved my hand lightly.
“Calm down. Are you thinking about it…”
“What? thought? I’m so full of energy…”
He said with a smile as he clicked his tongue.
“I did a big deal at the end of the regime, but I got out of there. The VIP doesn’t seem to have any intention of going with the chief, so think carefully and change lines. If you have any difficulties, tell me anytime. I will help you as far as I can.”
His face turned red. It means that you are already feeling it.
“I’m sorry I sounded too harsh, but please understand. I’m in a hurry right now too. haha.”
He smiled and got up, bowing his head.
“no. I was too cocky. I will look into this further and contact you when new facts come out.”
“is it so. I put a few more boxes in the trunk. There will be a lot of things to spend money in the future, but if you run out of money, feel free to contact me.”
I left the hotel with him bowing his head once again.
＊＊＊
“Vice-Chairman Jin Young-ki threw everything and got it. Everyone said they couldn’t ignore the relationship so far, so they closed their eyes.”
The news that Chairman Lee Hak-jae got from Yeouido was not so bright.
“How about summarizing it at this point? Wouldn’t it fit our country’s sentiment that the firstborn son would occupy the electronics and product divisions…. What did this mean? Even people who hear noise from a torn cruiser are uncomfortable.”
“So… are you saying that you even attracted sympathy public opinion?”
“What is scarier than liking is pity for pity. This is the feeling of wanting to open my pockets and help.”
That bastard’s eldest son, and the old vice-president’s townhouse.
I never thought my uncle, who used to command the world as if it were his own, would resort to childish methods like this.
“How far did you spend your hands to be so confident about the merger? Isn’t it possible that at least three organizations must raise their hands unconditionally?”
Chairman Lee held out some papers.
“I tried to classify it by equity status. By raising public opinion, the ant shareholders will vote in favor of the merger…”
“All the ant shareholders? Would that be possible?”
Chairman Lee pointed at me and said.
“This is your mistake. It was you who gave the reason for the ant stockholders to rush over there.”
I?
What did I do wrong?
