When he first got his hands on Chairman Ryu’s secret documents, Eugene wondered whether he should keep it completely secret or share it with the government.
If it was shared with the government, it had to be considered that there would be some kind of conflict because of the president’s secret documents.
From the moment Eugene learns that he has bribe materials from the chairman of the Daeyang Group, it is clear that uncomfortable situations will continue for each other.
Eugene has no intention of using the document to cause a stir right now, but it would be foolish to expect the other person to fully accept it as such.
In any case, the fact that someone else is aware of one’s greatest weakness is inevitably unpleasant.
On the other hand, the current president is also well aware that he is not a very broad-minded person.
Like many Korean lawyers, he made very strict judgments on crimes of ordinary people during his time as a judge, and showed a generous judgment against large corporations and other lawyers.
Like many legal figures, he took great pride in his judgment and was famous for not accepting critical opinions about him.
In order to resolve this confrontation situation, you have to put pressure on your opponent in the end.
Intimidating the president of a country or continuing the confrontation was not what Eugene wanted.
Therefore, it is the easiest and most efficient way to quietly enter the president’s house and bring the necessary documents.
However, Eugene wanted the will and overseas slush funds contained in the president’s safe to be revealed.
It was a golden opportunity to let the world know about the absurdity that the Daeyang Group’s Saju family has committed so far, and to drive them all into ruin.
Fortunately, Eugene had a good hand. John Brennan’s report that the operation being carried out through the National Intelligence Service was successful.
Eugene was no longer seen as a businessman, but as a member of an organization that controlled the US government.
That was enough. There is a huge difference between having the paperwork of one’s wealth in the hands of a business man and one in the US administration. Even at the Blue House, you won’t be able to come up with an absurd idea.
As a result, Eugene’s intentions seem to have been carried out very well. Prosecutors have given up tracking down documents that have disappeared from the vault of the Daeyang Group chairman.
There was no attempt at the Blue House to pressure Eugene or SS Partners.
If he thinks that it is not Eugene’s head, but an unknown and dangerous organization that knows their secrets, he will not be able to move quickly.

“It is said that the overseas assets hidden by the Daeyang Group exceed 10 trillion won. Last time, I lost about 7 trillion won through the short sale of Daeyang Heavy Industries, but there was still more than 5 trillion won left? It’s amazing.”
“So that’s it. There was more money hidden abroad than the dollars held by the Daeyang Group.”
“Anyway, they are ignorant bastards. How long have you been eating?”
From the day the incident at the residence of the president of the Daeyang Group was reported, the topic of discussion among Koreans was by far the same.
People were just getting together and talking about the ocean group.
“Unfortunately, when the chairman died, he left a will to hand over the stake to the company, but his children damaged it… … They are the worst.”
The arrow of condemnation went beyond the president, where the death had already been announced, to his children and grandchildren.
“Isn’t that obvious? If you don’t have a will, you lose 5 trillion won, and even if you’re like me, you’ll tear it apart.”
Of course, there were also opinions that they could understand emotionally.
“Then, is it right to embezzle tens of trillions of company money and even destroy the will?”
“It’s not that I’m right… … I mean, it’s worth it. It’s not that I did well.”
“Very ugly. So, you mean that all your overseas slush funds were stolen and your stocks were also stolen? They’re going to be utter beggars now.”
“What is a beggar? How much money have you saved so far?”
“It is. Ha, even if I do that, I will live in luxury for the rest of my life… … .”
Public opinion about the Daeyang Group’s Saju family was harsher than ever.
And, as they thought, their grandchildren could not live in luxury for the rest of their lives.
The grandchildren who had gathered at the president’s house that day were brought to trial on charges of document destruction, etc., and given the current situation, a maximum sentence was expected.
In addition, due to the act of damaging the will, the president’s right to inherit other properties was also deprived, and he was unable to receive the minimum inheritance.
Of course, the assets or shares owned by the chairman’s sons were not confiscated. As the world said, they still have assets that are difficult to compare with ordinary people.
However, the fact that they were not able to inherit all the inheritance they could have inherited from their grandparents, who were living as members of a truly different chaebol family, left a sense of deprivation that ordinary people cannot imagine.
Meanwhile, the Korean government has been more diligent than ever.
“The Greek court has approved the extradition of President Ryu Geun-soo.”
The South Korean prosecutors, who found the location of the third son of the Daeyang Group chairman, who enjoyed a leisurely life with a bunch of women at a fancy villa in the Aegean Sea, requested the Greek government to extradite the criminal through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the Greek government agreed to extradite him without much conflict. The news came.
This confirmed that both of the president’s remaining sons would have to spend a very long time in a Korean prison.
Currently, public opinion in Korean society does not allow even the slightest sympathy for the Daeyang Group’s Saju family.
No matter how great a lawyer was, it was clear that they would have to spend the rest of their lives in prison.
“Ten grandchildren are going to be tried on the charge of destroying documents. Six of them are also charged with embezzlement while working for an affiliate of the Daeyang Group. There will be further prosecutions as soon as the charges are substantiated.”
The Cheil Group, Dasan Group, and the multinational accountants dispatched by Eugene, which are occupying the Daeyang Group affiliates, have so far focused most of their capabilities on finding evidence of various criminal acts committed by the Saju family over the past hour.
The hands of hundreds of experts digged up the evidence hidden in every corner of the accounting books and sent to the prosecution as perfect evidence.
“The son-in-law and daughters will also be prosecuted if they have anything to do with it. Right now, even those daughters won’t be able to avoid severe punishment because they earned salaries in various positions without even going to work. So, unless you are a minor or a student who has not yet entered the history of the group, you will be charged with a crime in some way.”
As the Daeyang Group’s Saju family rushed towards a splendid downfall, Eugene was continuing the next step.
“We will set up key educational institutions in five major cities in Korea.”
Hwan Kim of SS Partners gathered reporters and announced a new plan.
“As previously announced, at these educational institutions, domestic workers will receive the essential education necessary to enter the world, and will receive all management of their overseas employment. For the convenience of trainees, we plan to construct large educational buildings in each of the five city centers. All of them have more than 60 floors, and we expect to educate more than 10,000 students each.”
“It is a fairly tall building for an educational institution.”
“Perhaps we can take the title of the tallest educational building of Moscow State University. To this end, consultations with each municipality have already been completed.”
Eugene hoped that anything he touched would remain in people’s minds.
For him, he chose a skyscraper that would not be suitable as an educational building.
These buildings, which will be built in the heart of major cities across the country, including Seoul, will catch their eyes from all sides of each city, and citizens of the city will think of Eugene whenever they see these buildings.
In particular, in Seoul, it will be built on an 80-story scale in the middle of Gangnam.
If it was a commercial building or a residential apartment, it wouldn’t be a big deal if it was over 300m, but it will attract more attention because it has never been in Korea that an educational building rises this high.
Eugene planned to turn this educational institution into a military academy that would train talented people to support him in the United States.
Of course, investments that cannot be compared with general educational institutions will continue.
It was also the ultimate goal to make many young people think deeply about the future by looking at these buildings from afar.
“SS Partners will create at least tens of thousands of new overseas jobs every year from next year in cooperation with various overseas companies, helping young Koreans to realize their dreams in the world.”
“If you are working abroad, are you going to mainly invest in companies that Chairman Kang has invested in?”
“Of course, there are companies like that, but there are a lot of other companies that are demanding Korean talent. Honestly, Korean talents are not famous for their hard work and hard work, aren’t they? Isn’t it true that Korean workers still work the most hours in the world? haha.”
“But where do Korean companies hire people when all of Korea’s talented people go abroad?”
Kim Hwan responded with a smile to the point that seemed reasonable at first glance.
“If you want good talent, you just have to pay a reasonable salary. Even if you give only 70% of American companies right now, there will be more people who would rather stay than those who want to go abroad to get 30% more. I already know that Jeilina Dasan has decided to significantly increase the salaries of its employees every year for the next five years.”
“The Cheil or Dasan Group can do this by attracting investments worth tens of trillions of dollars annually from Chairman Kang Yu-jin, but the situation is different for other companies. Because of this, there are concerns that only Cheil, Dasan, and SS will remain in Korea. Especially in the case of SMEs, there are many voices that it is still too difficult to secure good talent, but there are many voices of concern that this phenomenon is sure to accelerate.”
“In a capitalist society, it is only natural to pay higher salaries and provide better welfare to attract better talent. And Korean workers are highly educated and hardworking compared to any other country.”
“However… … .”
“Do you not think that companies are not treating their workers properly so far? Have they not exploited many small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) workers who work overtime until the weekend instead of eight hours a day? As a small business, I don’t think that we should pay workers the minimum wage.”
Kim Hwan’s voice was confident, and there were many people who nodded their heads among the reporters.
