“That’s right, the company name.”
Among the companies in the draft of the resource diplomacy project, only those expected to be offshore companies were selected.
“Please find out about those companies. Where they were founded and under whose name they are. I don’t know, but they’re probably offshore companies.”
“This list is also for hiding money. Then there will be countries that are exempt from property and inheritance taxes besides tax havens.”
“Please understand it at your own discretion. But can you confirm it with just the company name?”
Lana replied indifferently.
“Yes. The underground economy also works within the network. Do you need anything more?”
“I think that will be enough for now.”
“If you need money, I’ll tell you. Edward even saved me.”
it’s good
Wouldn’t the amount she borrowed be more than all of the Myeong-dong loan sharks combined?
“I’ll ask you if I need anything later.”
“Ho-ho-ho, yes. Don’t be shy and call me.”
***
Hong Kong and Macau.
A business trip in those two places was concluded.
Yes, one end.
It’s not the end, it’s the end of a step.
Externally, an all-out war with the global top four, including Forrescu Metal, was scheduled, and the arrangement with Seongsam C&T, who was walking a tightrope in the middle, was approaching.
Internally, we had to build an organization of All Mining and prepare for a resource diplomacy project.
In a nutshell, it is a busy situation.
“Hahaha, you’re so hot, you’re hot.”
Henry tilted his head and smiled as soon as he met him the day he returned to Australia.
“What do you mean by that as soon as you see it?”
“It’s written on my face. I’m busy saying I’m going to die.”
“……”
“Don’t be impatient. That’s what business is all about. It’s busiest before you start.”
“Actually, I’m very busy. Even two bodies are not enough.”
“In haste, mistakes are made, and that mistake will eventually bring down the venerable tower. For now, think about building a tower and take it easy.”
“What if I have a problem while taking my time?”
Henry asked, stroking his chin.
“Isn’t there a problem if I’m busy right now?”
“Things that can be prevented, if not everything, should be prevented.”
“No, when that time comes, another problem is bound to arise. Life is like that.”
“……”
“You’re doing well right now. You said you grabbed the boss of Yang Ah-gwan, who is behind Baosantz Metal? You’ve made friends with Stanley Young-in and many other Asian people, but do you think it’s lacking?”
I made friends, but I also made a lot of enemies.
“You can do as much as you can. Machines aren’t the only ones overloaded. People also need to rest, recharge their energy, and look after themselves in order to go far.”
Hearing Henry’s words, I wondered if I was too impatient.
Isn’t this the same as back then, when I was living in Korea in a hurry without even a weekend?
I didn’t want to live like that, so I came to Australia, but again, I was creating such a busy life myself.
If there is a difference, then it was done by order, and now there is a difference of being proactive.
“Thank you, Henry. Come to think of it, I must have been too hasty.”
“Yeah, take it slow. There’s no one to push you to get results quickly.”
But, if not Henry, wouldn’t the other major shareholders of the P&B group want to push it?
The mining industry was decided as a new growth engine for the group through the share exchange, and the success of all-mining depends on it.
“What about the other shareholders of the group?”
“Don’t worry, I’m just saying. As long as I’m sitting here, nobody’s going to bet on it. I’m not dead yet, Edward.”
Henry smiled and continued.
“By the way, there’s something I want to ask you when you come back.”
“What is it? Tell me.”
“I heard from Stanley, and he got David’s chip, right? He said that he would get his chip as well if the conditions were right.”
You must have told me that.
“yes that’s right.”
“Have you ever heard of chips?”
“Yes, they said it was to prove the bearer stock owner of the Royal Crown.”
“Yeah. Stanley asked me, did Gary really have other thoughts about Jaden before he died?”
“What did you say?”
“I said I didn’t know either. Gary didn’t tell me about Scarlett’s chip either. Then when I found out that Jaden didn’t have it, I thought it was lost and didn’t care.”
Henry looked straight at me and continued.
“If Gary hid the chip somewhere, and it came with a vault code or a will, then Gary, as you might have guessed, was terrified of Jayden. And your Clairvoyant ability will make it more likely to find it.”
“Did President Gary Parker hide it in a place he was related to during his lifetime? If it is an unfamiliar place that no one knows about, it would be difficult for me to find it…”
“He’s always been in the spotlight. If you hide something in an unfamiliar place, you’ll be looking around for it right away.”
Because I said that he was a person who was constantly surrounded by people.
It must have been hidden under the lamp.
The lamp was Dr. Ben Logan.
“I’ll ask you straight up. If that’s true, would you like to become the owner of the Royal Crown with that chip?”
This is already the third question.
David, Stanley, then Henry.
But I felt like I had to tell everything in my heart as it is here.
Henry’s eyes were like that.
“Yes, I would like to, if possible.”
“Is it just greed?”
“I can’t say I’m not greedy, but I’d rather follow President Gary Parker’s will. It’s my one-sided guess, but I think he must have hidden his wife’s chips out of a sense of betrayal towards his son.”
“Are you really going to put Gary’s maintenance first? If not, can you give up?”
“Yes, I have to give up.”
He is the benefactor who gave me the cornea.
“Why do you care so much about Gary’s will? You’ve never met him.”
“I’ve never met him, but because of him, Henry and I met. I think I was able to meet Henry because of him who passed away.”
“……!”
The old man was impressed.
I couldn’t open my mouth for a while because I was sobbing.
“If Henry tells me to give up because of my heart for Jaden, I will give up. Actually, I was greedy for chips at first because I thought that if I became a major shareholder of the Royal Crown, Jayden would not be able to say and behave as rudely as he did at the Melbourne Cup. It looked bad.”
“I did…”
“What should I do? Henry will do as he pleases.”
Henry shook his head and opened his mouth.
“Look for it, Scarlett’s Chip. I’d like to know what Gary was thinking.”
I already have it in my arms, but I can’t say it now.
We’ll have to keep it a secret until we interpret the compass’s words and confirm the true meaning of Gary Parker.
“Yeah, I’ll tell you what I find.”
I looked around for a moment and then asked.
“But where did Helen go? I didn’t even see her in the office.”
“I’m on vacation and going to Perth.”
“Perth? Why?”
“Jackie graduated a few days ago. I wanted to go too, but something urgent happened and I couldn’t go.”
That’s right, I heard that I was graduating this year, but I completely forgot about it.
“Didn’t you know?”
“I heard it, but I forgot.”
“Pay attention. If Jackie told you to come to the graduation ceremony, what if you forget that?”
No, why are you accusing me?
I heard that you are graduating this year, but you didn’t tell me when the graduation ceremony was.
“Now that we’ve talked about it, I’ll ask. Why are you trying to stick Jackie with me like that?”
“That’s right, you two look good together, heh heh.”
“If you really want it to go well, just stay still. If the grown-ups around you do that, you’ll be farther away from your heart.”
“Hmm…”
What, why are you looking like that?
“Isn’t it like your heart isn’t spiritless?”
“Oh, no. It’s just that, the human heart.”
Embarrassed, he got up from his seat and prepared to leave.
“Are you going to go see Jackie?”
“Even if it’s late, you should go and celebrate.”
Henry immediately pulled out his cell phone and dialed somewhere.
“Uh, flying. Tell me to prepare a private plane, right now. Where’s your destination? Perth. Edward will be the only one going, so just prepare for takeoff.”
I looked at Henry as he hung up the phone and asked as if embarrassed.
“Who cares now!?”
***
“Sir, we have arrived in Perth.”
I woke up at the words of the flight attendant, took off the eyepatch I was wearing, and looked at the scenery outside.
Eventually, it flew to Perth, on a private plane.
‘Old man, really. uhh…’
I sighed inwardly and stood up.
If it wasn’t for those words, I wouldn’t have come right away.
– Anyway, I was going to send a private plane today. Helen will come on board, so don’t be afraid to ride it while it’s going.
I know it’s a lie, but I was deceived.
No matter how much Henry spares Helen, does he send a private plane to the secretary on vacation?
That’s not a bit.
“Have you had a comfortable flight?”
As I was about to get off, the captain came out and greeted me.
“Yes, thanks to you, I came here comfortably. I’m sorry for the trouble.”
“No. I was going to come pick up Miss Berry, but the schedule went well.”
what? was that real?
“Are you really going to come pick up Helen?”
“What’s wrong?”
“No, it’s not. Helen is on a private vacation right now.”
“So instead of treating it as company expenses, the president pays the rental fee with his own expense. We’ve been doing that for a long time.”
“Have you been like this for a long time?”
“Yes, from the time Miss Berry served as the president’s secretary until now.”
Isn’t this what the two really have?
I don’t think it’s just a relationship between the president and the secretary.
“…I see. I see.”
As I descended the boarding stairs, I turned my head to look at the private plane again.
‘It’s definitely not normal…’
***
– Ding-dong.
Shortly after ringing the doorbell, the door to the rental house opened.
It was Jackie wearing an apron who opened the door.
“Welcome, Edward. Long time no see.”
“How are you?”
“I’m fine. But what is that?”
Jackie looked at the things in my hand and asked.
“It’s a gift, congratulations on your graduation.”
He handed her a bouquet of flowers and a gift box with congratulations.
The bright smile that appeared immediately made the preparation worthwhile.
“thanks.”
“What.”
“Come in, aunt is waiting for you too.”
Jackie naturally folded my arms and headed inside.
In the dining room next to the kitchen, Helen was setting up dishes and wine.
“I heard you just came back from a business trip, aren’t you tired?”
“Not at all. I came here sleeping soundly on a private plane.”
“Sit this way. I’m ready now.”
“Wow, that’s a supreme feast.”
The food laid out on the table was of such a quality that it could be called that of any restaurant.
“Did Helen make it herself?”
“I made it with Jackie.”
“The workmanship is great.”
“Would you be more surprised if you try it?”
Helen brought out the last plate and took off her apron.
She said as she watched Jackie put it on the side of the table.
“Is that Edward prepared?”
“Yes, as a graduation present.”
“Jackie, give it a try. Auntie wonders what gift Edward has prepared.”
“It’s not that great.”
“Isn’t honesty important?”
I didn’t have much sincerity….
“Oh, is it a necklace?”
Jackie grabbed both ends of the string and lifted the necklace from the box.
It was a plain design with two overlapping hearts.
“But… isn’t this bad?”
“It’s not a defect, it’s because the middle jewel was removed on purpose.”
I smiled and said to her.
“I’m going to find the jewel I want to put in it.”
This is not a confession.
It’s just pure business.
