[The results of the US presidential election that overturned everyone’s expectations. Republican nominee Donald Trump! Blue House “Scheduled to talk to President-elect Trump.”]
[Two people invited to a party to celebrate the election of Trump. Jeon Yong-taek, vice chairman of Ohsung Group, and Woo-hyeok Shin, CEO of WHTS Company. In fact, it is recognized as a national contribution.]
[Ohsung Electronics stock price soared 8% with Trump election!]
[Is the construction of Ohsung Electronics’ Detroit plant a godsend? Vice Chairman Jeon Yong-taek said, “I have a close relationship with President-elect Trump. There will be good news in the future.”]
The news of Korean media outlets was covered with advertisements for Ohsung Group, rather than the election of Trump.
The reason why there has been a lot of news like this recently is because of the news that chaebol families were involved in the scandal of state affairs.
“Prosecutors, if you have done this, let’s finish it. How long are you going to waste your time?”
“Oops, I’m sorry. We will finish it as soon as possible, so we ask for your patience.”
Whenever Jeon Yong-taek grumbled, the prosecutors sitting across from him were busy bowing their heads in tension.
Although the chaebol leader was summoned because of the boiling public opinion, he did not dare to touch it, so this skit took place.
“Or would you like to take a break in the break room? In the meantime, we will prepare all the paperwork.”
“Don’t do that, just ask and let’s finish quickly.”
“Our desire to do so is like a chimney. However, if the investigation is finished too quickly, that will become a problem again… … .”
Jeon Yong-taek has no choice but to move to the break room.
The entrance to the prosecutor’s office was littered with reporters, so I couldn’t get out, so there was no other way.
Sigh.
In the break room, the heads of chaebols who arrived first were gathered in twos and threes.
“oh. exclusive house. You are here too.”
Chairman Lee Tae-seok, the head of Daehyeon Group, pretends to know.
“Hello, Chairman Lee.”
“okay. Is there anything difficult these days?”
“yes. doesn’t exist.”
“If anything happens, tell me anytime. I will help you as far as I can.”
Ohsung Group and Daehyun Group had a long-standing relationship.
So, Lee Tae-seok used to treat Jeon Yong-taek like an invisible person, but today he was strangely friendly.
“Well, the future of a person is unknown. Who would have known that the healthy Muhongi would collapse like this?”
While looking around, Lee Tae-seok subtly brings up the main topic.
“By the way, you said you met Trump this time?”
“That’s right.”
“How the hell did you get in Trump’s eyes? I heard that Ohsung Electronics entered the Detroit investment as a latecomer.”
Ohsung Electronics was promised full support through its position as a Tesla parts supplier.
The process was purely the power of WHTS Company, but there was no reason to be honest here.
“Even if we all entered as latecomers, our Ohseong is different from other companies.”
“What is the price?”
Jeon Yong-taek strengthens his voice and boasts so that other conglomerate heads can listen well.
“Home appliances, mobile phones, memory, etc. All Ohsung products are famous for their high quality in the United States. If such a company wants to build a factory, of course you should give them preferential treatment. Isn’t it?”
“Hmmm. Well, that’s right.”
Until now, Jeon Yong-taek has lived with ridicule that he is a negative hand because he has repeatedly failed in every business he touches.
His evaluation has turned 180 degrees in just a few months, and these days, he is even hearing the voice of a competent gunman.
“Oh, I heard that Daehyun is also building a factory in Detroit. Have you not heard about the application?”
“Not yet… … .”
“This is very unfortunate. Daehyun’s reputation seems to be lacking in America.”
Chairman Lee Tae-seok is furious and rolls his eyes. However, when he hears the words that follow, his expression changes drastically.
“How about I give you a little help?”
“How?”
“I will propose to President Trump to expand support to latecomers.”
He said so, but Jeon Yong-taek had no intention of doing so. It wasn’t even in a position to do that in the first place.
It was just a bluff to keep from belittling himself.
However, the listeners had no choice but to believe what he said after being invited to the Trump party.
“Oh oh! Would you really?”
“Even if we compete in Korea, we have to help each other abroad. Isn’t it?”
“Thank you. thank you so much. Ha ha ha.”
If Lee Tae-seok was so good, his mouth caught on his ears.
At this point, the other chaebol heads who were listening to the story sneakily approached us.
“We were also in need of an overseas factory… … .”
“How much support did the state government give you? Factory site? Or are there tax exemptions or incentives?”
“I, we also ask.”
It was so thrilling to see the heads of chaebols who had always ignored them bow down and come in, it was so thrilling that it made my heart ache.
Jeon Yong-taek wanted to keep this position in the future.
In order to do that, he needed to make his relationship with Shin Woo-hyuk, the man who made this presidential election, stronger.

Venezuela’s economic situation was getting worse day by day.
As hyperinflation continued, the streets were filled with idle young men, prostitutes selling bodies, and starving children.
The state was rationing food, but that alone was not enough.
Citizens were eating tree bark, weeds on the roadside, and even killing and eating animals in the zoo.
Despite the country’s worst situation, Venezuela’s President Mac Maduro’s face showed no worries or concerns.
He just locked himself in his presidential palace, laughing and chatting and partying every day.
“Today, the meat tastes especially good. No, do you feel that way because of you?”
Maduro cuts a large piece of steak and stuffs it into his mouth.
Even while chewing the meat, he did not forget to alternately massage the breasts of the naked women next to him.
“wine.”
Dark red wine is prepared for his words. It was an ultra-premium wine that cost more than half a million dollars a bottle.
Luxury was strictly forbidden in Venezuela, which suffers from a severe shortage of foreign currency, but that did not apply to him as the president.
“Ugh. It smells good. Is it French wine? If I go out this time, I’ll have to buy another one of the same type.”
“President, I want to taste it too.”
“wait. I’ll put it in first, then I’ll pass it to my mouth.”
While they were biting and sucking each other, the finance minister, who had come to report on business, had a rotten expression on his face.
The impatient minister opened his mouth.
“Mr. President, have you posted pictures of your meals on the Internet?”
“Why?”
“The picture caused an uproar on the Internet. The common people are starving, but the president drinks expensive steaks and wine.”
Maduro puts another piece of steak into his mouth with an expression of incomprehension.
“You mean I, the president, can’t even eat steak on my own?”
“It’s not like that, but the picture is a bit… … .”
“Stupid things. Do you have anything to advertise that you don’t have money in the neighborhood? I have to be moderately extravagant so that neighboring countries do not look down on my country.”
The women who were wriggling next to me clapped their hands and cheered.
“Still, please refrain from uploading photos on the Internet. Public opinion has not been good since the last election.”
“What if public opinion is bad? Things you can’t do anything about.”
Venezuela’s opposition party pushed for a referendum on the dismissal of Maduro.
However, as the pro-government election commission and the Supreme Court sided with Maduro, the vote was canceled without even starting.
“As long as we hold the military, there is no problem? So don’t worry about useless things and do what you are told to do well.”
“… … All right.”
“Oh, and for a moment.”
The president kisses the women on either side once and taps their hips.
It was a sign to go outside.
When the naked women had left and the Treasury Secretary and the two of them were left, he said in a low voice.
“How did the new issuance of large denominations go?”
“It’s going as planned, but inflation is already so bad, it’s unclear if it will work.”
This year, Venezuela suffered 1,220% inflation.
Since it was not already a figure that the country could afford, the Venezuelan government was thinking of overcoming the crisis by printing a new high-denomination note.
“don’t worry. We just have to make it through next year somehow.”
Maduro was waiting for oil prices to rise.
No matter what the situation in Venezuela is, if oil prices rise, foreign money will pour in, and with foreign currency, the economic crisis can be solved in one shot.
“Of course, when I became president, the price of oil plummeted. Tsk tsk. What kind of high school student is this?”
After a while, the big prime minister enters the president’s office. He was breathing heavily as if he had come this far.
“President. I just got a call from OPEC (Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries)!”
Maduro and the finance minister jump up from their seats at the same time.
“What did you say over there? is it freeze Or cut?”
From noble mtl dot com
“It’s not confirmed yet, but even non-registered countries are gathering their opinions on production cuts!”
“You are right! Of course you should!”
If OPEC cuts crude oil production, the amount of crude oil released on the market will decrease, and oil prices will naturally rise.
It was a delightful news for Venezuela, which had been waiting for a rise in oil prices.
“Get ready to turn all the drilling lines you stopped. It is to pull it out in advance before the oil rises.”
Maduro danced shoulder to shoulder as if he had already got money in his hands. However, the minister strikes a candle here.
“President, this is a presumptuous statement, but we cannot afford to run additional drilling lines.”
“What do you mean?”
“Many drilling line technicians have gone abroad due to salary issues. So even if the drilling line is maxed out, it seems to be only 33%.”
Oil is overflowing everywhere, but there is no one to pump it up.
This is the reality Venezuela is facing.
“It’s rotten, even if oil prices go up, it’s meaningless if production goes down. Make an engineer now.”
“It doesn’t happen overnight. half a year at least. An experienced person needs more than two years of training.”
“You stuffy things! If you knew that, you should have prepared in advance!”
Technician training was always being done. It’s just a problem because the people who finished their education ran away abroad.
“Is it not possible to bring in technicians from overseas companies? It won’t be enough if you give me a lot of money.”
“One or two people are possible, but it is impossible to recruit a team of professional engineers at the corporate level because of US sanctions.”
“Damn America again? There’s nothing going on with that f*cking thug.”
While Maduro swears to himself, the prime minister, who has been silent, voices his opinion.
“Or why don’t we try to convince the United States at this point? Just in time, the new president of the United States has been elected.”
“Have you forgotten that Trump is the Republican nominee?”
“He is a businessman before he is a Republican politician. If we lobby and pay the right amount, we may lift the sanctions.”
Normally, it would be a snort, but now the situation was so desperate that I had to grab at least a straw.
“i get it. I will meet with Trump myself.”
