[007] Proactive appeal 1.
I’ve been to this mansion countless times while living as a servant in the Jinyang Group for over ten years, but the only places I’ve been allowed to do are the living room and kitchen.
Along with the bedroom, this study is a place that can never be entered.
Although the chairman’s office on the 27th floor of the headquarters of Sunyang Group is the official office, all decisions of the group take place here.
This study is a place where only family members, presidents of affiliates who lead the group, and powerful people can enter.
I now have the qualifications to enter this place.
Not as Chief Yoon Hyun-woo, but as his grandson.
I stepped into the study and looked inside.
The study was no different from the conference room.
In front of the chairman’s large office desk, a conference table that could seat dozens of people was set up, and the chairman’s children and group powerhouses were already seated. It was to be expected.
There may be birthday celebrations, but if they get together, discussing current issues is a natural step.
What surprised me was that my father’s eldest son, Jin Yeongjun, was also sitting in this seat.
I can nod my head enough that my father is missing. Isn’t that the child you gave up anyway?
However, Jin Young-joon is only 20 years old. He is a college student and is preparing to study abroad.
Compared to other people, he is still a child. The fact that he is sitting in this seat means that the succession structure has already been solidified.
Being reincarnated as a member of a chaebol family was an opportunity given by God, but is it already too late?
Is it impossible to overcome the age of 10 years?
Everyone misunderstood me who was immersed in these thoughts with my head down. He thought he was very frightened.
“Do-joon, man. lift your head Men grow up fighting with each other. haha.”
Jin Yeong-joon said with a big smile, perhaps trying to show the image of an eldest brother.
“Be quite! This is not a place where you can open your mouth. Didn’t I tell you to just listen?”
When Vice Chairman Jin Young-gi, his father and my uncle, shouted, Jin Young-jun scratched his head.
Chairman Jin took my hand.
“Do-joon.”
“yes. grandfather.”
“Kneel down next to me until I tell you to stand. That is the punishment.”
Is this a punishment? Or is it education?
It’s a punishment for 10-year-old Jin Do-jun, but it’s a management class for 40-year-old Yoon Hyun-woo.
You shouldn’t miss a single word of what kind of strategy those who are creating an empire called Sunyang are pouring out.
I sat quietly beside my grandfather.
“Everyone tell me what you think. What do you think will happen?”
The meeting that had been interrupted because of me started again.
“You know that man’s tenacity, don’t you? It’s term term, but it won’t collapse. Wouldn’t it break through head-on?”
“What if it’s a head-on breakthrough?”
“It’s hard suppression.”
“Can’t you already see it as hard-line suppression? Did you have military service in mind?”
“That’s right.”
what?
term of office? subjugation? army?
Is it a story about the current situation, not about company management?
“We have to think the other way too. More than a million people gathered from across the country today. If we send in the army, it might be two million, not one million.”
“Aren’t you afraid in front of a gun or a knife?”
“Right now, the flames of anger are burning. If it goes out, you will be afraid of guns and knives, but military input is like pouring oil. The current regime will not know that either.”
“so? What do you want to say? Are we preparing for the time when the regime collapses? Do you think the president next year will come from the opposition?”
“That could be…”
Bang-!
When Chairman Jin slammed the desk, the president of the affiliate, who had been expressing his opinion, hurriedly shut up.
“Can you? Of course you can. Maybe not. Do you think I’m wasting my precious time just to hear something like that?”
“I’m sorry.”
Everyone lowers their heads at once when the president shouts.
“Just tell me which one you have to line up behind. vice-chairman!”
“yes. President.”
“Tell me first. who is this?”
Although they are father and son, as it is an official position, they called each other by their position in the company.
Perhaps because of the weight of being vice president, my uncle, Jin Young-gi, could not answer easily.
Jin Young-ki is in his mid-40s. and his son Jin Young-joon.
These are the two guys who blamed everything on me and even ordered me to kill them.
Back in the past, that kind of thing won’t happen now. But the target is not me, and it can happen anytime.
I was curious about the answer of Jin Young-ki, whom I once admired.
What kind of eyes does he really have?
“It is not a regime that will collapse, and the successor is certain. During the 7 years since this regime took office, the demonstrations have been non-stop. Now, I think that’s just a little bit harsh.”
To the eldest son’s remarks, the second son Dong-ki and the third son Jin-sang-gi agreed without hesitation.
“I think so too.”
“Me too…”
As the crown prince and princes expressed the same opinion one after another, the presidents of affiliates, who were ministers, were also inclined toward the fact that the current regime would be maintained.
Something was strange.
In three days, an urgent announcement from the president will come.
Isn’t that just a declaration of surrender?
the people win
The Blue House must have come up with some outlines by now.
When it comes to the Sunyang Group, there will be more than one straw in the Blue House, but it was hard to understand that they didn’t know yet.
Was it that at that time, Sunyang Group scholarship students were rare in politics?
Leaving these doubts behind, I continued to listen to their meetings.
However, not a word was said about the group’s management, and only who should stand in line behind them was disputed.
In a way, it was even pathetic.
No matter how chaotic the situation may be, this is not the story I wanted. It was expected that at least high-level content that ordinary office workers would not think of, such as setting up management strategies to respond to changes and predicting how the bursting demand for democratization would change the world.
However, standing in line behind a strong guy makes a lot of noise as if the group’s life and death depended on it.
I was pathetic and also bitter.
Is this the corporate landscape of the 80s?
In the end, the meeting ended with only a false prediction that the current regime would continue.
“done. everyone go out And open your ears and gather information.”
After Chairman Jin’s words, everyone left the study.
“Now get up.”
Grandpa’s soft voice.
I tried to get up quickly, but it was impossible. When I managed to stand up after stretching my stiff legs little by little, Chairman Jin’s gaze at me was full of admiration. It was the warm gaze of an ordinary grandfather.
Chairman Jin, who had me seated next to him, opened his mouth.
“Good luck, our Do-joon.”
“yes?”
“It’s been quite a while, but you never frowned or showed any signs of difficulty. Even if you were an adult, your legs would have been uncomfortable, so you would have moved your body around.
I didn’t even know my legs were hurting from listening to opinions. I didn’t even notice how much time had passed.
“But I have one question. How has it changed so much?”
The original Jin Do-jun would have been no different from his older brother Sang-joon.
He must have shown only a passive side of him who was intimidated by his parents who were helpless and mistreated.
Of course, you would be surprised and curious as such a child does not hesitate to use violence to protect his property.
The truth is, it’s not that he’s changed, he’s a different person. Well… that can’t be said.
“Me?”
“okay. Was it New Year’s Day that I saw our Dojun? It’s only been half a year, but I feel like a different person after finishing it. I want to be my grandson haha.”
Looking at Chairman Jin’s eyes, I wondered what kind of answer would be okay. There is only one proper answer.
“I’m not going to take it anymore.”
“What?”
“My father and mother kept noticing, so I put up with it. I can’t stand it anymore. angry.”
Damn, at a time like this, it would be perfect if at least some tears flowed….
There was no way I could shed tears!
However, I must have been more proud of myself for saying these words resolutely.
Chairman Jin hugged me silently.
It was as if he had guessed and sympathized with my heartache in the past.
In this case, it should be shocked again. A shock to the point of being startled.
“grandfather.”
“Yes, tell me. Anything.”
“Make all three friends.”
“What do you mean? Are you going to make the three of us friends?”
“You said that earlier. next president.”
“……?!”
The way he looked at me with pity changed.
I punished you, but did you listen to the whole conversation? A child only ten years old.
Moreover, it would have been surprising to have come up with an admirable idea by synthesizing all the stories.
“If the president is the most powerful person in our country, wouldn’t it be nice to just make everyone friends when you don’t know who he will become? All three of them are powerful enough to become president, so should I make only one friend?”
I said in a childish tone. Except for all the difficult words.
“Everyone can be friends…”
“Can’t we?”
“Can’t we? The more friends, the better. haha.”
Chairman Jin, who hugged me tightly, burst into a satisfied smile.
Shall we stop here for today?
When the June 29 Declaration comes out a few days later, you will be surprised once again if you sneak a sneak peek at who should really line up behind you.
You have to turn him into a grandfather who is enamored with his 10-year-old grandson’s cleverness and can’t get out of it.
It’s not too late.
“Do-joon, do you want to play outside now? Grandpa has some work to do.”
I came out of the study with lots of lovely eyes from Chairman Jin.
***
Chairman Jin, who was left alone in the study, was deep in thought.
Soon after, Chairman Jin picked up the receiver and made a phone call somewhere.
– Yes Chairman.
“Immediately deliver five copies to YS DJ.”
– Both of you?
“okay. Since you are having a lot of trouble in the current situation, tell your subordinates to feed them some meat, and throw in some appropriate courtesy.”
– All right. So what about over there…?
“For now, give me ten copies. Don’t forget to say that you hope that the noisy political situation will be resolved well.”
– I’ll keep that in mind. President.
Chairman Jin, who put the receiver down, burst out laughing.
To think that a 10-year-old grandson would say something like this.
I thought it was too polarized.
When asked to predict an uncertain future, all of them gave uncertain answers. It was barely able to give a speculative answer, such as the current administration holding up a white flag and holding on.
If the question was asked to come up with a response plan for an uncertain future, it is clear that someone would have answered that they should buy insurance evenly.
Because that’s how people turn their heads.
But I never thought my 10-year-old grandson would throw this answer!
Why did I only discover this smart figure now?
Chairman Jin quietly called his eldest son, Jin Young-joon.
It was because I wanted to confirm the cotyledon of the guy who would become the 3rd chairman of the Sunyang Group in the future.
Jin Yeongjun rushed to his grandfather’s call. While showing a little nervous expression.
“Youngjun.”
“yes. President.”
“Uh-huh, I’m your grandfather now.”
“Ah yes. grandfather.”
Nervous Jin Young-joon’s face turned red. There must be a clear distinction between public and private. However, it is not easy to satisfy the taste of the grandfather who is capricious from time to time.
“You just listened today. But would you have thought? Let’s see if it’s your answer. I’m not going to do the scoring.”
The current administration has about six months left. It is an obvious lame duck, but citizens pour out on the streets every day, crying out for the abolition of the constitution even if the dictatorship is overthrown. Moreover, next year, the Olympics, a world-class event, will be held.
What will this chaotic time be like? This is the problem and you have to write the answer sheet yourself.
“That’s… um…”
I saw a lot of students at school throwing rocks and Molotov cocktails and running away from tear gas.
Police forces always dispersed protesters.
The difference in power is overwhelming. Demonstrating every day and disbanding every day.
College students can’t beat public power anyway.
After organizing his thoughts, Jin Yeongjun carefully filled out the answer sheet.
“The protesters think they are at their peak right now. I think if the president puts in more police… if he puts in some military troops, it will calm down.”
“Then is it an extension of the current regime?”
“yes. Naturally, as the current president’s friend and successor, I think he will be the next president.”
“Then, this old woman should believe you and line up with her. yes?”
“yes?”
Jin Young-joon felt the cold sweat running down the nape of his neck.
Grandpa smiles softly and says he will leave the group’s future up to his predictions.
Of course not. But this is a test.
If you show confidence by sticking out your chest, you will be caught again and again if your prediction is wrong, and if you step back from here, you will only give the impression that you are indecisive.
Chairman Jin clicked his tongue inwardly as he looked at his grandson with a puzzled expression.
