“Yeah, I heard you’re going back to Korea tomorrow, is that true?”
Seo Jeong-soo nodded at Henry’s question.
“Yes, I would like to stay longer and get to know the president, but I have a lot of work to do when I return to the headquarters.”
“I heard the details of the negotiation. Is it because of the fact that our CEO Jin made a very tight request?”
“Hahaha, that’s right. Thanks to you, there are one or two things to review. He’s quite experienced for his age, Mr. Jin.”
“Heh heh, I can’t keep up with Seongsam C&T’s seasoned people. When I heard about it, rumors spread in the industry. Seong Sam C&T has succeeded in a number of projects that other companies are waving. Isn’t it because we can create
“Should a profit-seeking company have to work at a loss? It is the job of a salaried worker to do his best to leave a mark. Isn’t that how the salary comes out?”
Henry grinned as he sliced the steak.
“Your mind is really good. You can see why the rumors about Seongsam C&T are spreading like that just from the word alone. But I think a little differently.”
“……?”
“I think that companies should protect trust first, even if they sometimes lose money. Because there is a transaction when there is trust, and there is a profit when there is a transaction. Sometimes, there are companies that betray trust.”
“……!”
“Eat it. Steaks don’t taste good when they’re cold.”
“Yes, yes. I am eating.”
I exclaimed inwardly and chewed the honey-flavoured veal.
They don’t show their poker faces, but I can see their wet shirts in my eyes.
Even if the expression hides the lies, it seems that the sweat cannot be hidden.
‘After all, I was thinking of holding hands with Forescue Metal and hitting the back of the head.’
You said you were going to betray me, right after the meeting with me was over.
How do you steam these?
“I heard that Seongsam C&T is not only engaged in construction and civil engineering, but also Sogo Shosha, is it true?”
“That’s right. Actually, in the case of this Louis Hill project, your business division also had to participate and link resource development and logistics, but the process was a bit unusual. It was only infrastructure construction.”
Sogo Shosha.
It is a proper noun for a general trading company.
It is a concept that originated in Japan and has been transferred to Korea, and it can be said that there are no companies in other countries that claim to be such a general trading company.
Of course, there are companies that do almost the same thing in foreign countries in that they deal with import and export trade of various products.
However, this Sogo Shosha (General Trading Company) is distinguished in that it receives strong support from the government.
It is a project that was decided by the government and developed nationally by pouring various tax benefits and subsidies.
Against that background, the businessmen traveled the world as the frontiers of Korea’s exports.
But now, all of that was a thing of the past.
This was because the government abolished the general trading company designation system last year due to the declining proportion of trading companies in exports.
Currently, the main business of general trading companies was changing due to corporate M&A or resource development.
“Then why don’t you just try it instead of regretting it so much?”
At Henry’s words, Seo Jung-soo’s eyes widened.
“Are you trying?”
“You’re asking if Seongsam C&T will also invest in Louis Hill Holdings. I’m also in charge of infrastructure construction, but wouldn’t it be strange not to invest in resource development? I’ll tell my Jencock, so I’ll go back to Korea and calculate the size of the investment. “
“Isn’t the project financing already over?”
“It’s over, but wouldn’t it be okay if we increased our stake in Louis Hill Holdings? Hehe.”
Hehe, should I call it Henry?
To make our opponent take one more step towards us.
Do you want to rip your crotch while crossing your legs?
“If that happens, Jencock, All Mining, and Bosco will have the effect of reducing their stake. Is that okay? I don’t know about All Mining, but there will be strong opposition from other companies.”
“It depends on the size of the investment, so you should review it first. However, it will be possible given the strong relationship between Jencock and All Mining.
Henry was cleverly giving him one last chance.
Is it us or over there?
And it was an indirect expression of wishing that the scale would be equal to that of Bosco.
“Okay. We will review it as positively as possible and contact you. Thank you for the opportunity.”
Not a thank you at all.
Eating the steak with a face full of water, I could barely see how many times I was tapping the calculator in my head.
“Mr. Seo.”
“yes?”
Henry, who called Seo Jeong-soo, had a mischievous expression on his face.
“I’m asking again just in case, is this really your first time here?”
“This is my first time. As I said before…”
“Oh, it’s like they know how to eat steak here. Like you just had, you have to mix two kinds of salt and sprinkle it to get the best taste. People who come here for the first time don’t know about it.”
“Ha ha ha ha… I have a habit of mixing things together.”
In a panic, Seo Jeong-soo was swallowing the unchewed meat as it was.
‘I emphasized one more time, get on the route well.’
It is also a yangban to add one word to.
Oh, look at those eyes that know everything.

“Vice President. What are you going to do?”
At Do Yun-ho’s question, Seo Jung-soo loosened her tie and sighed.
“Well, what do you think, the headmaster?”
“It was obvious that they knew that we had met Forescue Metal. And he said to be clear about which one to choose. I honestly… I want to let go of Forescue Metal. In the current situation, we With Forescue Metal, the method you have in mind will most likely be useless because you know your opponent will betray you.”
“You’re right, but does the Chairman of Bearfax really know everything? He may have overlooked it, right?”
“Didn’t you prepare the same place and menu at that time? I think I knew and said that.”
“You can find out about that by buying a restaurant employee. And there were only the two of us in the room with Forrescue. I don’t think the Chairman of Bearfax even knew the details of the conversation. So, he suggested an investment and gave us a choice. Could it be that you forced it? I mean, don’t let go of your hand.”
Do Yunho shook his head.
After hearing the vice president’s words, I thought that might be the case.
No matter how far they followed, they moved right after meeting with CEO Jin.
Therefore, the opponent did not have time to respond, such as wiretapping.
“I think I was too nervous. After listening to the vice president’s words, it seems that that side makes more sense. I don’t know the exact details, but it may have struck a dagger because there are signs of betrayal.”
“Is that right? That’s right. But is it us or Forrescue Metal that Bearfax added people to?”
“Isn’t that probably Foresque Metal?”
“But you saw it in that restaurant. The bodyguards blinked their eyes and looked around. They didn’t seem like people who wouldn’t notice that they were followed…”
That is why the meeting at that time was conducted with utmost confidentiality.
Just because Seongsam C&T and FORESCUE METAL had a meeting, there was a high possibility of misunderstanding.
It was the same not only for Seongsam C&T, but also for Foresque Metal.
This is because Forescu Metal is not alone, but is entangled with companies such as Barre, Rao Tinto, and DHP Billion.
The meeting could have ruined their relationship.
It was such an important and secret meeting, that day.
“Bearfax is a media company under the P&B group. The number of reporters in Sydney is huge. There must be countless people who provide information under them.”
“Hmm, it could be.”
Do Yun-ho asked, swallowing dry saliva.
“Vice President, then, are you going to pretend to hold the hand of the Chairman of Bearfax and continue the work you were talking about with Forescue Metal?”
“Yeah, we’re going to invest hundreds of billions of dollars in a reasonable amount and pretend we’re on the same side. Considering that money, it’s a waste, but this may have turned into a disaster. It will avoid suspicions that arise when the construction is delayed.”
“Is it okay if Bosco’s investment is less than 3 trillion won?”
“You can say that you will invest sequentially. Later, you can say no because there is no sanction from the upper level. Isn’t that why I, not the boss, came here?”
Seo Jung-soo continued speaking as if emphasizing.
“You take good care of yourself so that you don’t show up on the working ship. Adjusting the construction date so that the iron ore that Jencock will supply to China topples over. That’s the key.”
“Don’t worry. Excuses are everywhere.”
The two looked at each other and smiled happily.

“How is it?”
I said with my eyes closed at Henry’s question.
“Wait a minute. We’re almost done.”
I watched the secret conversation between Seo Jeong-soo and Do Yun-ho for about 5 minutes like that.
Eventually, I found out the whole story, and when I opened my eyes, I explained it to Henry.
“The point is to make Jencock trade with China, and then make sure that it doesn’t deliver properly.”
“They’re great yangbans.”
“……?”
“Isn’t that right. It’s Seongsam C&T. If you don’t meet the construction deadline, you’ll have to pay 1 billion dollars in damages no matter how small it is. The disgrace of failing to properly fulfill the contract will also be known to the industry. It will seriously damage the corporate image.”
“Henry, Koreans… Most of the time, the results are more important than the process.”
“What do you mean?”
“Perhaps the result they see is not 1 billion dollars in damages and non-performance of the contract. They must have a deal with the top four companies in mind. Joining hands with such global mining companies is something that general trading companies cannot buy even with money. It’s property.”
“So it doesn’t matter the process of losing 1 billion dollars and tarnishing the corporate image?”
“It doesn’t matter if we make $2 billion in profits from a deal with the top four companies and become their main partner. Because Korea is the only country that values results.”
It doesn’t matter how hard you prepare for the entrance exam.
So all the questions I got during the holidays were to ask what college you went to,
No matter how hard you worked to prepare for a job, all you had to do was ask what company you went to.
Social life is all about how successful you are, and the most important thing is to show what kind of car you drive and what kind of house you live in.
Since we have to compare ourselves to the surroundings, the process is not important and the result determines everything.
“It’s so bleak.”
“I mean. But that’s how we live, most of us.”
“I mean…”
“……?”
what else to say
“I think it would be sad if someone said that to me. I enjoyed the process of establishing P&B and Royal Crown with Gary in the past rather than living as chairman now.”
It’s about memories with Gary that come out when you forget.
“If you ask me what my job is, would you say more than president? But if you ask me how I got here, there are a lot of interesting anecdotes.”
yes yes Do only verse 1.
“We’ve been to Macau before…”
Oh, it’s a start again.
“When the old man says it, focus on it.”
“Yeah, yeah. I’m listening.”
“How far have I been talking?”
“I went to Macau.”
“Yes, there I met Stanley Wu, the godfather of the Macau casino. At that time, he was…”
