prologue
It was the third year of the reign of King Heonjong in the year of Jeongyu.
At that time, the establishment of diplomatic relations with Hwaran (和蘭) in the northwestern part of the European continent, which was called Europe (歐羅巴), was established, and this is called refinery Ganghwa.
At this time, steel wire rifles appeared for the first time in Asia, and the best technologies of the time, such as light bulbs, electric power units, and petroleum internal combustion engines, were concentrated in shipbuilding.
An iron-clad powered battleship equipped with a steel wire cannon was procured from western North America to Korea, and the ‘Black Hammer Mercenary’ of ‘East Stella’ Co., Ltd. landed.
East Stella’s mercenary corps was the most elite military force in the Netherlands at that time, that is, as the Royal Private Fleet of the Netherlands, it was the strongest armed group that commanded the North Sea and the Mediterranean Sea.
Also called the ‘Black Hammer Pirates’ because they say that they smash enemy skulls with black hammers, they swept across Asia beyond Japan and China in Northeast Asia.
The Black Hammer Pirates eventually embark on a ‘three-way strategy’ by using Korea as a base in Asia and Japan and Qing as its forward production bases.
With this opportunity, Joseon’s long and protracted secular government ended, and Japan and China were annexed to Joseon and reorganized into a federal state.
As a result, Northeast Asia enters the era of steep industrialization, and the heyday of the ‘Joseon Federation’ has begun.
The Joseon Federation, after forming the bicameral parliament of the federal state, leads the clash between the East and the West as the leader of the Asian Union.
This was the beginning of the 19th century East-West War in which the international order was reversed.
001 Reincarnation (1)
2020, cold winter.
Yoon Woo, the manager of Hanwoori, an accounting firm, is sitting in the National Tax Service’s ‘Intensive Investigation Room’.
Yoon-woo had been rubbing his eyes since before and was repeating himself.
“… … What is that?”
Around this afternoon, he found black dots all over the place, gurgling like roaring flames.
However, it seemed that there was only one person who saw it, Yun-woo.
“Hey, do you see that?”
“… … what?”
When Yun-woo asked, the investigator quickly frowned.
I also remember hearing at first glance that tinnitus or hallucinations caused by extreme stress are not uncommon.
‘It must be a hallucination.’
Yoon-woo’s stress these days has long been beyond human tolerance.
Taken from noblemtl.com
Maybe that’s why I thought.
Then the investigator asked in a tone full of annoyance.
“Jung Yun-woo, did you know or didn’t know about Cheongseon Soju raising slush funds abroad?”
“… … Are you starting again?”
As if he was really bald, Yun-woo shook his head continuously.
Park Tae-sik asked Yoon-woo again as if frustrated.
“If you keep doing this, you’ll have to hurt yourself. I’ve only been on this floor for 20 years, do you know of one or two people like you who have been washed by an accounting firm?”
Yun-woo clenched his fists tightly.
The teeth were ripped apart, and it seemed as if all the veins were going to pop out of the eyeballs.
‘… … Centurion Fuck you bastard. Ugh, I’m an idiot for believing such a bastard.’
Not long ago, it was discovered that ‘Cheongseon Soju’ produced additional quantities overseas in violation of the National Tax Service’s order to manage alcohol fermentation.
Originally, the National Tax Service was supposed to supervise the fermentation of alcoholic beverages, but the Cheongseon Soju was out of its mind, and it caused a riot by drumming and playing arbitrarily.
However, since Cheongseon Soju was the partner of Yunwoo’s company, Hanwoori, it was natural for blood and wind to blow.
In addition, Yun-woo’s external position was the head of tax administration for overseas corporations.
So, of course, the sword will return to him.
But he was really sad. Because I was in charge and didn’t know anything.
But even though it was embarrassing, I had to endure it.
No matter how awful the situation, this is the National Tax Service, which is scary.
Yoon-woo bowed his head.
“I did not know.”
“… … Didn’t you know?”
“Yes, really.”
“This gentleman is sleeping in the middle of the night, and he hears a banging sound. Did you say that now and sit down? The whole affiliate of Cheongseon Soju was blown away. Did the person in charge not know about such a big incident?”
“Okay… … .”
He recited a man’s name.
“Baek Seongi… … .”
“Who are you?”
“This is Seon-ki Paik, the head of Hanwoori Accounting Firm. I just did what he told me to do.”
Baek Seon-gi is a lobbyist, an accountant who always sticks money in the backs of the National Tax Service officials while carrying Yun-woo.
Yoon-woo, along with Seon-gi Baek, had played the role of a lobbyist by opening an account abroad by placing an external position in front of him.
In a nutshell, I learned how to hit people with the second round of CPA.
With such a position and current position, Yun-woo never dreamed that it would return as a boomerang.
Park Tae-sik thought he couldn’t do it, so he handed him a letter of indictment to send to the prosecution.
“look at this. This is a complaint letter to be sent to the Central Prosecutor’s Office. It’s an official letter to the prosecutor’s office asking you to prosecute.”
“… … .”
“Right now, the Fair Trade Commission is also very upset. Do you know?”
From the National Tax Service to the Fair Trade Commission, Yoon-woo instantly felt his head hardened.
‘… … it’s a pardon It looks like I’m stuck with it!’
He was raised by his iron-clad grandfather due to the death of his parents, and grew up using an ironworks as a playground from an early age.
Since middle school, he has been working part-time among those tough iron men, so it is said that Yoon-woo also knew the world around him with his fingernails and came into society.
So, I thought that I had some knowledge in the art of cheesae, but this time I couldn’t quite figure out what to do with it.
‘Chief Centurion, you f*cking bastard! If I make a mistake, I’m going to go to court for business breach of trust?’
If there had been any of his biggest blunders, it would have been that the foxy centurion was too thin.
If he had even the slightest suspicion of Paik, he would not have stood still while a successful conglomerate such as Cheongseon Soju was shoveling like this.
Yoon-woo and Park Tae-sik, whose expressions change from moment to moment, seem to have decided to convince Yun-woo, so they came out with a softer tone than before.
“Okay, let’s start over. Jung Yun-woo, let’s hear it, you said that you have expertise in not only tax laws, but also criminal and civil laws. As an accountant, he excelled in various mergers and acquisitions and audits.”
“… … My image is that of a lobbyist, I worked hard at first.”
Yoon-woo was originally Shinsung, who was called the ace of an accounting firm.
As he said it was like this, he was awarded a scholarship in business school and excelled in economics, which he started as a double major.
Park Tae-sik had a sad expression on his face.
“A career like this, isn’t it worth it?”
“No, I mean, I told you two days ago. Because I really don’t know? I just did my best at the task given to me! I really don’t know anything!”
“Hmm, really?”
“Sure!”
“like. I can’t seem to think well, so I’ll try to remind you.”
Park Tae-sik threw some photos on the table.
In the photo, the details of the deposit and withdrawal of Yun-woo’s domestic account were detailed, and the documents next to it were listed with foreign borrowed-name account transactions.
“how about it? Do you have any thoughts now?”
“… … !”
“Did you go to Singapore, Hong Kong, Taiwan, or even New York?”
“Hey, this is… … .”
“Is this the pocket money the corporation gave me to use to scout all personnel? Some of them were used to pay bribes while traveling around the prosecution and the Fair Trade Commission with the officers.”
Park Tae-sik was right.
Yoon-woo not only learned how to be a lobbyist, but also personally delivered bribes.
But the problem was after that.
“By the way, it looks like you stole the metallurgical money from the bribe?”
“Oh, no… … .”
“One billion in Hong Kong, 1.5 billion in Taiwan, 5 billion in Singapore? Hey, you even bought real estate in New York. Did you think we wouldn’t know if it was changed to the car’s name?”
Hearing that the corporation even gave bribes to all the officers, I could feel that they wanted Yun-woo to be involved in this case somehow.
In any institution that treats the whole building with respect, seniors don’t do it well.
When they retire, they’d be pasting their mouths under their seniors, but they didn’t want to scrape them for nothing.
‘Are these bastards tripping over their seniors? It’s not going to be easy… … .’
He rolled the calculator in his head.
What is the reason they dare to fight with even retired officials?
After Yoon-woo mobilized all the jjajangbap for 13 years, the answer was found.
The IRS was involved.
“… … In fact, the National Tax Service knew that Cheongseon Soju increased its alcohol production at will. Even though I knew that for quite some time, I closed my eyes.”
“What, what?”
“Otherwise, there is no reason to build the entire building like this. Besides, there is no company that treats all the officers of the National Tax Service with the utmost respect like Hanwoori, and it is strange that they cut off their old-age funds. Isn’t it?”
“This guy is crazy! Where are you talking nonsense?!”
Seeing that he was very bewildered, the angle of his mouth was roughly matched.
Not long ago, there was an internal audit by the National Tax Service, and when the Cheongseon Soju scandal came to the surface, it was clear that they were trying to find a suitable victim and close the case.
Yoon-woo has now given up halfway.
“… … Eh, f*ck it! I do not know. do whatever you want I’m sure I’ll cut off the tail in Hanwoori anyway, and I can’t just die.”
“If that happens, the number of slush funds we can recover… … .”
“Haha, in what way?”
“what… … ?”
“And I don’t remember having a slush fund.”
Yun-woo’s grandfather, a veteran of the Korean War, said as a habit.
Even if you die when you die, don’t be treated like an asshole.
He was the most respected person in the world for his grandfather, who raised him instead of his father, and he never forgot his conviction and spirit.
Even if he was rotting as a lobbyist.
In addition, he was proud of the Marine Corps Reconnaissance Corps.
‘You bastards, I’m out of service with the Marine Corps Reconnaissance Corps in the Grand Sun of Medal of Honor! Even if it was hot before, there’s no way I’m going to die like this. Don’t you think I didn’t know that you guys roughly beat me with your account details?’
Tax havens aren’t tax havens for nothing.
Yun-woo, who has only worked to hide other people’s property by giving back money, hid the money in a tax haven, how can they find it?
In the end, Park Tae-sik also decided to take a step back.
“… … For now, just go back today. But I’ll see you again in a few days, so you know that.”
“Well, that’s right.”
Thanks to my grandfather’s spirit, I thought I could drink a glass of soju today.
