In order to attract attention without knowing the subject, I broke the silence and took a full-fledged step after pressing the first-elected lawmaker who had mentioned the Jung-in group at the hearing with a few phone calls.
That first job.
“Nice to meet you. everyone.”
It was the name of the Jeongin group.
Although the IMF has overshadowed the word immortal, the strength of the company’s size is still not negligible.
Although the Jeongin Group has obviously accumulated massive amounts of cash based on its huge net profit, it is only at the level of a mid-sized company in terms of the size of the group itself.
So, I started to take over indiscriminately if there was any connection with the existing businesses among the companies that were put up for sale on the market with huge cash as a weapon.
The first target was Dabo Construction, where I am standing now.
A mid-sized construction company ranked 32nd in the contract rankings.
In Gyeonggi Province, which has its own brand, it was a fairly well-known construction company, which cost 700 billion won to acquire.
“Congratulations on the acquisition.”
“Congratulations!”
Dabo Construction executives gathered at the executive meeting and applaud the new owner.
Of course, for the sake of space preservation rather than the meaning of a real welcome.
I said with a relaxed expression.
“All of them will be hired, and Executive Director Kim Il-tae will lead Dabo Construction as the CEO in the future.”
At my words, Kim Il-tae bowed his head and said.
“Thank you, Chairman.”
“Do you have any questions?”
Kim Il-tae, who was silent for a moment at my words, said.
“I… How will Dabo Construction work with Jeongin Construction in the future? .”
taken from noblemt l
Maybe he’s worried about being integrated.
“You don’t have to worry. Jeongin Construction and Dabo Construction will become competitive in the future.”
“compete… huh?”
“Actually, I worked hard at Jeongin Construction, but it was difficult to digest the amount of construction I was given.”
Line Construction, which had annual sales of 300 billion won, was acquired by Jeongin Group and grew into a company with annual sales exceeding 1 trillion won.
However, most of the increased amount was sales from winning orders for land owned by Jeongin Development.
That is why, in reality, I only ate my flesh and there was no growth.
“In the future, Dabo Construction and Jeongin Construction will compete for projects ordered by Jeongin Development.”
Therefore, through competition with Dabo Construction, it instills a sense of crisis in Jeongin Construction and promotes expansion.
I said with a smile.
“Strong competition is the driving force for growth.”
At my words, Kim Il-tae said with a look of reassurance.
“If that’s the case, we can make sure you never regret the acquisition of Dabo Construction.”
“I look forward to it. Then the meeting ends here.”
After the executive meeting was over and he stood up, Kim Il-tae said with a bewildered expression.
“I prepared a dinner party… .”
“Let’s put it off for later. I have an upcoming appointment.”
“If your next appointment is… .”
I said with a bright smile.
“Isn’t Yuwon Electronics still there? We have to prepare for the takeover right away.”
In Korea, where mergers and acquisitions are not very active, 700 billion won is a considerable transaction, but it cannot be satisfied with just this.
If you can see even a little synergy among the listings, buy them all.
‘Cause there’s plenty of money anyway
“Yu, even Yuwon Electronics?”
Simultaneous acquisition of Dabo Construction and Yuwon Electronics, the largest companies currently on the market.
“Ah, don’t worry if you are worried that the construction of Dabo may be damaged due to lack of funds.”
I said with a smile.
“Because I live with the money I have left anyway.”
* * *
The Jung-in group, who has rapidly increased in size by taking over Yu-Won Electronics.
I created a synergy effect by putting home appliances manufactured by Yuwon Electronics as an option in my rooms.
The building was also built by a subsidiary, and my company supplies home appliances in it.
The hunter, who rented the room, trains at the academy with the weapon I borrowed, hunts in the dungeon, and the by-products I get are sold to the merchants I manage.
But there were also side effects.
– Chairman, no matter what, this is… .
A call from the Chairman of the Fair Trade Commission.
“What do you mean?”
– The Jeongin group. Insider trading is too harsh.
“Is that a problem for me to buy at my company?”
It’s actually a problem.
Because job chaebol and insider trading were chronic ills of chaebol groups.
And it is the Fair Trade Commission’s job to adjust it to an appropriate level.
-Before that, because the Jungin Group was small and grew so fast, regulations at the level of mid-sized companies were applied, but now it is not.
One of the Jungin Group’s greatest assets was the land in Dangjin.
However, the official land price compared to the rapidly rising land price is far below the level of the Jeongin group, which has been undervalued compared to its real assets.
Thanks to this, I have heard of large corporations, but in terms of policy classification, they have been included in mid-sized companies and have enjoyed many benefits.
Because the regulations that large corporations and mid-sized companies receive are different.
However, the gap is quickly filled, and as it has acquired several companies, it has now reached a level that cannot be called a mid-sized company even with empty words.
-Jeongin Group is also subject to disclosure obligations, so we have to disclose internal transactions.
I said with a relaxed expression.
“Didn’t I push you to take care of it?”
While lobbying politicians in all directions, the thing I was most concerned about was government agencies that could influence the Jeongin group, such as the Fair Trade Commission.
The chairperson is a person appointed by the president on the recommendation of the members of the ruling party who were bought by me.
“I would have taken care of it so I wouldn’t be offended.”
Then the chairman said in a troubled voice.
-I know. I didn’t know that, so I called now. At a certain level, the Commission can move on to a recommendation to adjust the rate of internal transactions, but this is not at that level. If I block it, my neck might fly off.
That’s not a problem.
It’s not an easy task to put him in as a chairperson.
“Hmm… .”
– I can use my hands only if you try to reduce it a little. It’s just been classified as a large corporation, so it takes time.
I wonder if I should get permission to use my company’s stuff, but… .
What.
I have to give the chairperson a reason to move.
“All right. Let’s make adjustments.”
Then the chairman sighed in relief and said:
-ha. Thank you, Chairman.
“It was nothing.”
After the call, I said with a smirk.
“As the company grows, you have to look at your eyes, not your eyes.”
Various regulations and fines that prevent the head family from misusing the dominant position of large corporations.
In my previous life, I resented that it was a flimsy punishment, but in reality, it’s not bothering me at all.
“Well, I can’t do anything about the law right now.”
I’m sorry, but I can’t help it.
“Anyway, there are no items for sale.”
It has acquired two mid-sized companies, but the money is still circulating.
However, there is no company of a size that can satisfy my greed.
I said, gazing again.
“Doesn’t something like the IMF explode one more time?”
The IMF, where unfamiliar companies poured into cheap prices due to liquidity and exchange rate problems.
At that time, I would be able to sweep away my huge cash assets as if I were shopping.
“There is no other time to make money than an economic crisis.”
I recalled memories from my previous life.
“Economic crisis. economic crisis. Oh, was there an economic crisis that originated in China?”
Due to the close fight between the guilds and the Chinese government, the debts and other problems that had been scattered throughout China exploded simultaneously, and the aftermath spread all over the world.
When China, the world’s factory, shook, the companies that were doing business with China shook like dominoes, which led to a global economic crisis.
But the problem is… .
“It’s still a long way off.”
The problem is that there is still a long way to go before that time comes.
“Are you crazy? no. Unlike Korea, my influence in China is small. If you move clumsily, you might get a headwind.”
I walked around the president’s room and said.
“It’s an economic crisis… for a moment.”
I said with my eyes shining.
“contrary wind… No, Korea has a north wind, right?”
At the same time, Pan-ho Jang embraced several warlords and was full of confidence.
Pan-ho Jang has already requested assistance from Heuk-ho on several occasions.
He said there is still a need for action against the rebellious military.
“Originally, the military was purposely placed to maintain balance, but the trend is leaning towards Jang Pan-ho anyway, so is that meaningful now?”
It is only a matter of time for Pan-ho Jang to clean up the interior of North Korea.
So, I would rather help Pan-Ho Jang and help stabilize the North Korean economy, and at the same time, use the North Korean situation to destabilize the South Korean economy.
It goes without saying that South Korea’s stock price drops even if North Korea fires missiles.
If I intervene in the middle and prolong the civil war or pretend that the military has an advantage, Korean companies, large and small, will inevitably be affected.
“If North Korean refugees come all the way down… .”
I said with a smile.
“The Korean economy is bound to shake.”
Then it’s good if the companies go bankrupt, and even if they don’t go bankrupt, you can buy them at a price that is as low as the fallen stock price.
“Yeah, it was something I had to do someday anyway.”
By the way, the pie of North Korea is too big to move just looking at this.
“Should we take this opportunity to make it possible for people to come and go between North and South Korea?”
The balance using the military has already begun to be disrupted, so we are creating our own power of the Black Tiger in North Korea by making it possible to travel freely with North Korea.
So that Pan-ho Jang would not recklessly reject the Black Tiger, even if he completely took control of North Korea.
For that, even if it is limited, it needs to be structured in a way that allows it to come and go with North Korea.
The problem is that one prerequisite is absolutely necessary to make it happen.
“nuclear.”
It was denuclearization.
Unless North Korea destroys its nuclear weapons, the US will never open any more doors.
“I was originally going to keep carrying nuclear weapons, but… .”
If Pan-ho Jang wants to take over all of North Korea and try to rule out the Black Tiger, it means nothing.
It is a pity, but it is inevitable for the power of the black tiger to take root in North Korea.
“great.”
I picked up my cell phone and called Yoon Sang-deok.
– Yes, Chairman.
“Sang-deok, tell Pan-ho Jang that I will help organize the military.”
Then, Yoon Sang-deok said with a surprised expression.
– Are you sure?
“Yes. Instead, there are prerequisites. denuclearization.”
Yoon Sang-deok, who was silent for a moment, said.
-Will Pan-Ho Jang accept that?
“The Black Tiger does not tolerate refusal of orders.”
If Jang Pan-ho refuses, then stop giving strength to the opposing military.
The only thing the military lacks compared to Jang Pan-ho is the Hunter’s power, but if the Black Tiger fills that up, it’s worth trying.
And Pan-ho Jang knows that too.
-All right. I will tell you that.
I said with a sad expression.
“I think I would like to get in touch with the US and South Korean governments too, but… .”
Even if the opponent is a criminal organization called the Black Tiger, if they can only denuclearize North Korea, the two governments will not hesitate to release their money.
But in the long run, it would be advantageous to hide that Pan-Ho Jang is under the influence of the Black Tiger.
“I think it would be better to hide it.”
– I think so too.
“Anyway, tell Pan-ho Jang to move like this. Once I contacted the Korean government… .

The public’s evaluation of President Park Sang-soo, who was elected after Kim Kang-gyun, had no presence.
In fact, he was elected only because the opposition party’s approval rating at that time rose due to the public’s reaction against Kim Kang-gyun, and Park Sang-soo, who was influential as a multi-elected member of the opposition party, was elected as the representative.
In a nutshell, he said that he was elected by shaving an empty house.
Of course, Park Sang-soo also worked hard to change this opinion as a seasoned politician, but the results were not so great.
It was at that time when he was performing his duties as the president with such an inferiority complex.
“Five! Chief Jang.”
A hotline call came from North Korea’s Jang Pan-ho.
Park Sang-soo said with a bright smile.
“how are you?”
-Yes. Good job.
“Haha, you seem to be getting more and more fluent in the South Korean language.”
– I keep practicing. thank you
Park Sang-soo, who exchanged condolences for a while, said with a worried expression.
“Anyway, America is becoming more and more holy. Should I say that I doubt General Jang’s will for denuclearization?”
At the words of Park Sang-soo, Jang Pan-ho said in a calm voice.
-Even so, I called because of that.
“Well?”
-Denuclearization, we will.
At Pan-ho’s words, Park Sang-soo felt like thunder in his head.
‘Rain, denuclearization!!’
Isn’t this the long-cherished dream of the Korean government?
Can you do that during your tenure?
“Are you really?”
– Didn’t I always say that? We’re going to denuclearize, but we’re not ready. But now it seems possible. Of course, we need help from the US and Korea. Some of the military are still opposed to denuclearization.
“Oh, if that’s the case, I’m sure you can help!”
Park Sang-soo said in an excited voice.
“What can I do to support you?”
– First of all, we need funding. Since the unit that is the most opposed to denuclearization is the unit that defends the nuclear and missile base, force suppression is inevitable.
“I understand. What else do you need?”
– Requires Hunter power.
Then, Park Sang-soo was surprised and said.
“Huh… place?”
-There is no one better suited to a surprise operation than a Hunter. If the hunters break through the unit first and take control of the key facilities, and the army suppresses the siege, they will be able to subdue it easily.
“Uh… How much do you need?”
– The more, the better.
Park Sang-soo hesitated for a moment and said.
“First of all, there is a hunter team in the military… .”
The Hunter Special Forces owned by the military itself, not the Hunter Bureau.
It’s true that they have strong power, but the problem was that there weren’t that many.
Besides, it’s not easy to covertly send them to North Korea.
“Of course, everything has to be done in secret, right?”
-of course.
“Then it wouldn’t be common to secretly send special forces into North Korea… .”
– Then how about doing this? It opens up civilian exchanges between North Korean and South Korean hunters.
“Private exchange?”
-Yes. That way, once the passage is open, you can get in and out more easily.
Park Sang-soo said with his eyes shining.
“If that’s enough… It seems possible.”
Naturally, for this exchange to take place, sanctions imposed by the US on North Korea must be further eased.
But Park Sang-soo didn’t worry about that at all.
As Americans have been concerned about the destruction of nuclear and missile bases by sending special forces before that, if the US government finds out about this news, they will rather actively intervene first.
Rather, I am concerned about how China will come out.
“Can China stand still?”
China also wants the denuclearization of North Korea, but that is not to the extent of the Chinese-led denuclearization, not the intervening denuclearization of South Korea and the United States.
– That’s why we need support. A certain amount of power must remain in Pyongyang unconditionally in case of any unforeseen circumstances.
Hearing Pan-ho Jang’s words, Sang-soo Park felt that Pan-ho Jang’s will for denuclearization was strong.
Because this plan was carried out even with the backlash from China.
– Please convince the US.
“Captain Jang.”
-Yes.
“Can I trust you?”
Park Sang-soo’s words with many implications.
-I understand. So far, I’ve been saying that I’ll just do it with words, but there hasn’t been any results. But this time it will be different.
Then Pan-ho Jang said in a confident voice.
-I’m not from the Kim family.
“good. America, I will persuade you.”
-thank you. Then I wish you all the best.
After finishing the call, Park Sang-soo said with blazing eyes.
“It’s an opportunity.”
Park Sang-soo’s title of president who succeeded in the denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula is already glimmering in front of him.
Park Sang-soo hurriedly picked up the phone and called the chief of staff.
-Yes. bowl… .
“Call a national security meeting right now! Right Now!”
