147 episodes. It was said that a needle thief becomes a cow thief.
As soon as Jang Min-soo returned, he went to Son Young-seok’s room.
And he reported the information he got from Xiaozen.
It also contained something about authenticity.
“What? He’s behind the fuss? Are you sure?”
“Xiaozhen says there are rumors in the Judicial Police Department. Chairman Stanley is looking after him.”
“Hmm, this is a better friend than I thought. At that age, the emperor of Macau, Stanley, is behind him.”
Son Young-seok thought he was a natural lobbyist.
Be it a city or a country. Being in contact with a person nicknamed the Emperor or Ruler was proof that he was capable.
“Minister, shouldn’t we hurry up with work?”
“Why? Do you think he’ll move Stanley Wu to get his hands on us?”
“You know we’re behind it, right?”
“You know who I am and what kind of person you are, so it’ll be fine. I provoked quite a bit on the poker board, but I didn’t see him as a friend who would cross the line without thinking.”
“I heard that people don’t work. You may change your mind suddenly. As the Vice Minister said before, I must make this project a success. For my father and myself.”
Son Young-seok looked at him timidly and raised the corners of his mouth.
It was because for the first time, Jang Min-soo himself took the initiative.
“Now it seems to be a little desperate. After all, people need a threat to be quicker.”
Son Young-seok opened the built-in wardrobe in the corner of the hotel room and took out a briefcase from the personal safe inside.
And put it down like a tossed in front of Jang Min-soo.
“What is this?”
“The draft of the resource diplomacy project. If you look at it, you will be able to check the country to be developed and reviewed, the companies to be acquired, the mines, and all future progress. Once you understand it in your head, you will burn it immediately. Be sure to check if there are any hidden cameras.”
“Don’t worry, Deputy Minister. Thank you.”
It was then that Jang Min-soo got up with a briefcase.
“Berry Chief.”
“……?”
“Actually, I was only going to give you Asian and Australian materials, but the VIP said so. If you decide to entrust a part of the project to you, trust them. .”
“I will not disappoint you.”
“You’ll have to.”

Most plots are done at night.
I don’t know if it’s because of the sensibility of the evening or the atmosphere, but I knew from experience that it was with a high probability.
It was the same with the secret meeting between Seongsam C&T and Forescue Metal in the past, and it was the same with Yang Ah-gwan and Wang Wei, chairman of Baosantz Metal.
Due to that experience, it was one day when I was looking at Jang Min-soo’s behavior every evening.
‘It’s a draft of a resource diplomacy project…’
I heard and saw everything through the cufflinks on Minsu Jang’s sleeve.
I called Lucy while he headed to his room.
“Did you call, sir?”
“Please make a reservation for Hilton Hotel Room 906. Room 1006 is also ok.”
“What if both places are being used by guests?”
“Since you can’t go anywhere else, even if you move the guest rooms, get them there, as soon as possible.”
“All right.”
When Lucy left, I checked the situation of Min-soo Jang again.
As soon as he entered his room, he grabbed something like a remote control and started to move it around.
It seemed to be a machine looking for wiretapping or hidden cameras.
‘You’re doing what Son Young-seok tells you. He said he’s a criminal type…’
After the detection, Min-soo Jang started looking at the project documents immediately.
I was impatient in my heart, but it wasn’t enough to memorize in a day or two, so I watched it calmly.
The thickness of any dictionary.
I thought it would take quite some time to transfer them all.
‘Oh, don’t you have to spend all night to copy all of that?’
It was then when I was looking at the documents through Jang Min-soo.
– Ding-dong.
“Come in.”
“CEO.”
“Huh? Lucy, why are you here again?”
“I have finished everything you instructed.”
“Already? Less than fifteen minutes? No guests?”
“We got some cooperation from SWM. We upgraded the room and left it empty, so you can move right away.”
fast, fast
did you just deal with it?
“Are you in such a hurry because I urged you?”
“It looks like it’s important. You haven’t told me to get it done quickly.”
“Haha, Lucy is good at her job.”
Korea’s fast-paced culture is so unique that it makes you wonder if it’s really a species-specific thing.
So I never said that Lucy would have a hard time adjusting to it, so hurry up.
“Of course you should. Would you like to move your accommodation right away?”
“Yes, I check out right away.”
When I moved, Lucy and Yoohyeon immediately packed their bags and moved to the Hilton Hotel.
Room 906.
It was right upstairs in Room 806, where Min-soo Jang was staying.
‘Okay, just fine.’
I immediately got my laptop ready and fell on the floor.
Looking down through clairvoyance, Min-soo Jang was still sitting on the sofa reading documents.
As you can see, he’s staying up all night.
‘Should I start too?’
Immediately, Minsu Jang read everything and started copying what he put on the table.
When I was young, my fingers that boasted 800 shots of Hancom spit fire.
-Tattack, claps, claps, claps.
***
7 o’clock in the morning.
All night long, without a single break, I just tapped on the keyboard for nearly 10 hours.
Jang Min-soo set the alarm and lay down as if closing his eyes for a while, and I made coffee and headed to the window overlooking the scenery.
When I opened the door and went out to the balcony, there was a space where I could sit and have a coffee.
I felt like I was running away from sleep when I got the cold winter wind.
– Whoops.
Last night’s hard work seemed to melt away with a sip of warm coffee.
I was preoccupied with copying, but the basics of the resource diplomacy project were the same, so the gist was in my head.
‘Except for some genuine exhaust, the rest are like a bargain price, buy the property at an exorbitant price and take the difference back…’
It is the same technique as the old racehorse gun.
Even at that time, the horse society had committed an absurd act of buying racehorses, which were about 20 billion won, for 200 billion won.
And within a short period of time, they covered the injustice by slaughtering the horses and destroying related documents.
‘This time, not in billions, but in trillions, and that’s a huge amount close to 100 trillion.’
Looking at the reality, it wasn’t the 40 trillion won project I heard through the GL group and the Bosco group.
That money is just a government subsidy.
According to the draft project, most of the energy-related public companies such as Korea Electric Power Corporation, Korea Coal Corporation, and Heating Corporation were planning to invest in PF (Project Financing), centering on three companies, Korea Mineral Resources Corporation, Korea Gas Corporation, and Korea National Oil Corporation.
Forcing public corporations to take on huge foreign currency debts.
According to the draft, it was written that it would proceed until just before it plunged into capital erosion.
After all, the debt will be the responsibility of the next government.
-A wild beast doesn’t let an opponent touch its prey.
Henry’s advice comes to mind.
As he said, President Jang Hak-jun prepared this project with great care.
It was clear that if someone touched a prey this size, he would never stand still.
‘What if I don’t stand still?’
Like Son Young-seok last time, will you mobilize public power and threaten your life?
But that would be a threat when I realized I had touched it.
They have a draft project, so they know what they’re going to do, and to some extent they can move unnoticed.
And at the same time, I had that thought.
‘Is Korea’s public power so scary?’
This time alone, they were able to get out of their mischief with the help of SWM relatively easily.
I don’t know in Korea, but I didn’t think it was a big threat abroad.
Rather, it seemed that the work related to the Triad was more dangerous.
Because people even got kidnapped.
If you go into the mining industry in the future, will you experience something more?
Because the third world has poor laws and all kinds of crime and violence are rampant.
Moreover, what about the checks and checks of mining companies with vested interests?
Although iron ore is the most difficult game in the mineral industry, the work of the top four companies was still ongoing.
‘Yeah, like the Louis Hill project, it takes too long to find a mine, build an infrastructure, sign a contract with a buyer, and reach a sale.’
Even if the exploration period was drastically shortened with clairvoyance, it was inevitable that it would exceed one or two years.
Within it, the market conditions change rapidly, and checks and checks will come in countless times.
I felt that I needed to have stamina and achieve rapid growth in order to endure it.
‘If you use the resource diplomacy project, the size of All Mining will be huge. What if I quickly mine only the net exhaust within the mine development rights I have?’
It will be able to firmly establish itself among global mining companies.
Once you’ve got a seat, you don’t have to spend time and energy on secondary things like you did here in Macau.
You can focus on mine development itself and travel around the world to build wealth.
It will soon take the form of the sovereign wealth fund that Henry is aiming for, and I will live as Australia’s richest and most influential Korean.
“Yes, let’s eat. The one who eats is the owner.”
It was said that a needle thief becomes a cow thief.
There is nothing wrong with the old saying.
***
A restaurant in Macau.
I opened the door and saw a man coming in and suggested a seat.
“Sit this way.”
“Jin Yu-seong, what’s the important thing?”
“Chief Kang, let’s talk while we eat first. You must be busy, so I ordered it in advance.”
The course dishes were already prepared on the table.
Kang Jun-ho asked while eating the food reluctantly.
“I’m worried about what’s going to happen, so I can’t eat well.”
“Chief Kang.”
“yes.”
“Do you know what the Vice Minister Son Young-seok did a while ago?”
“……!”
After drinking the wine, Kang Jun-ho answered.
“Wow, yes. I found out that the Singapore Rishitan president made a request. They want Jin Yu-seong to be eliminated from the tournament.”
“Was that person behind you?”
That’s another fact I didn’t know.
Did Tony Hong hold a grudge for what he did to me?
“Did you not know?”
“Yes, I was former Vice Minister Son Young-seok and Manager Jang Min-soo. I knew that they moved the Consulate and Interpol.”
“It is certain that Chairman Rishitan is behind the scenes. So, please don’t take too much hostility towards Vice Minister Sohn and Chief Chang.”
Kang Jun-ho doesn’t seem to want me to hang out with those two.
That’s why I’m emphasizing Chairman Rishitan.
“Did Chairman Rishitan specifically ask that Interpol and the consulate move?”
“Well, that’s not it.”
“Then you can interpret it like this. It was just that I told my opponent, Vice Minister Son Young-seok, as a request to defeat me. The mobilization of public power was a decision they made on their own.”
“……that is.”
“Okay. The reason I asked to meet Chief Kang today was because of something else.”
“……?”
I wiped my mouth with a napkin and said to him.
“How about working with me on the resource diplomacy project other than President Jang Hak-jun?”
