183 episodes. what is all this Edward Jean?
General Racampo, accompanied by former President Ark, headed to the unit.
And after a while the visitors came.
James Son, a Korean, and Kenzo Takagi, a Japanese.
“Uh? Isn’t it President Arc? How are you here?”
Their eyes widened when Arc, who had been kicked out of the presidency by the military, was in the depths of the military.
“Come on, sit down. I’ll explain.”
Lacampo offered a seat and started leading the meeting.
First, he talked about the background of the formal transfer of power between Andrea and Ark.
“I had a secret conversation after receiving the secret information that former President Ark had returned to his home country. And I persuaded him to formally hand over the government and lead the support of African countries, rather than just playing the press while living in exile. He said that if he did, he would guarantee his return to politics in the future. From my point of view, it wasn’t usually difficult because the leaders of each country had been putting pressure on me.”
“Wait a minute. Wasn’t the general holding back President Andrea’s power? No matter how much pressure there was, why did you force him to hand over the power to a new person?”
In response to Son Young-seok’s question, La Campo asked the other way around.
“I’m the one who put Andrea in his place in the first place. But why do you think I kept him in check?”
“That’s because other countries are talking about a coup d’etat, so isn’t it a puppet? And President Andrea’s image to the people is amazingly good.”
“That means you think I put him out there to buy time for a military dictatorship, right?”
“Isn’t it?”
“Listen carefully. I came here because I was afraid that the people’s protests against the Ark regime would intensify and escalate to hard-line suppression. I did not overthrow the regime to pursue my success.”
Lacampo followed up with an explanation of the current president, Andrea.
“I had high expectations for Andrea Reggioelina, and she wasn’t just a puppet. But when I sat in the presidency and continued a politics that was not much different from the previous regimes, I was at odds with myself. Besides, he was too radical.”
“You mean not now?”
“You must have heard rumors floating around the country too. The public’s trust is skyrocketing with massive foreign aid without realizing it. And he disappoints me by completely nullifying the contract with foreign capital and dropping the trust of the country to the ground. But I was making up for it in my own way.”
“You mean your own way?”
Racampo looked at Takagi Kenzo and asked.
“That’s right, the branch manager of Sumimoto Corporation, right?”
“Yes, this is Takagi Kenzo.”
“Then you don’t know.”
“I know. What do you mean?”
“Have you not heard anything from your superiors?”
“what······”
“President Andrea said that. The chairman of the Sumimoto Group said that he would return 48% of the stake in the Ammatovy mine to the government free of charge. I thought it would be obvious to the branch manager, but was it the chairman’s arbitrary decision?”
“Yeah!? What nonsense is that…”
“I don’t know the details. I’ve only heard about it. And it is said that President Andrea has already acquired a 12% stake in Sherrit Inter.”
Son Young-seok was astonished that 60% of the stake in the Ammatovy mine was returned to the government without a mouse or bird.
What was left in the market was that they had only 40% of what they had.
“Okay? The current President Andrea is worthy of support, so I support it.”
La Campo continued speaking while taking turns looking at Son Young-seok and Takagi Kenzo.
“I can only guess the reason you came here. It’s probably because of the mining contract. But, now that you know the background, you know that you can’t go on your way any longer.”
“That’s why you’ve brought former President Ark here. Okay, I understand what you mean, what do you want from us?”
At Son Young-seok’s question, La Campo shook his head.
“It’s you, James Son, to be exact. Because Sumimoto’s side has shown enough sincerity.”
“Wow, that’s right. Then tell me, what should I do?”
“A 40% stake in Ammatovy mine owned by Korea Mineral Resources Corporation, and a land contract with Preferential Logistics. Please return one of them to the government for free. Then, we will try to make the other one go according to the contract.”
“……!”
There is no blade strength.
My teeth were sharpened in no time, but I endured it with extreme patience and asked.
“What would you do if I refused?”
“As you can see, the people’s antipathy towards Korea is quite high. I will make sure that the return of investment costs due to the invalidity of the contract is carried out on my own merits, but it will not be possible to avoid being pushed back politically.”
“Does that mean it may be ten or twenty years! Are you really going to make Madagascar a laughing stock of the international community?”
“In the meantime, all of you have been devouring this country like a seungnyang, and our finances are ruined! But give it to us right away? Ha! All right. I’ll appeal to you! Honestly, I didn’t eat all the land or mines raw!”
“……”
Son Young-seok bit his lip and glanced at former President Ark.
But he just sighed and turned his head away.
‘Such a bastard child. Still, the author who said he was the president has become a very military dog.’
It was crazy and crazy, but there was no way.
Sumimoto Corporation could no longer be called a partner after returning the stake, former President Ark, who was at one point in a relationship, became a scarecrow, and General Lacampo, who came to Beevil Hill, was on the contrary holding a sword to himself.
It was truly a fortune teller.
“General, after all, I am not a party, but an intermediary. So, why don’t we return the share and part of the land through negotiations instead of nailing it because it is free? I will discuss it well with both sides.”
“What do you see me for? You don’t know that you plan everything behind them?”
“……!”
Son Young-seok looked back at President Ark once again.
As La Campo said, it was because it was judged that he had leaked secrets rather than the military’s intelligence.
“Wow!”
When I saw him avoiding his eyes as if it was something I didn’t know, my fever rose.
‘It’s like such an irresponsible human being…’
Son Yeong-seok tried to roll his head to get through this difficulty, but in a situation where his limbs were all gone, he couldn’t think of a motto at all.
So, one solution that can be used immediately came to mind.
‘General La Campo, will it work if I bribe him…’
In the meantime, I thought that there was no person who could not do anything with the lobby.
Because there is no one in the world who hates money.
However, La Campo, whom I met in person, was a person who shunned the corruption of politicians and seemed to value faithfulness.
‘No, it is a seed that is difficult to buy with money. If that’s the case, then I’m going to have to throw one away…’
If I had to choose, it would be a land contract with Preferential Logistics.
The Ammatovy mine was related to President Chang Hak-jun, so he had to protect it somehow, and he must have already paid all the fees for the land contract because he had nothing to lose.
In addition, Woowoo Logistics is a company established independently of the now disbanded Woowoo Group’s logistics division.
Since the group, which was stamped by the regime and disassembled in the air, was a whole body, they would not dare to resist if they pressed it with force.
“Okay. In the case of land contract, I will make it cancel by Preferential Logistics.”
“Think well. Perhaps returning the land rather than the mine will help alleviate the people’s anti-Korean sentiment.”
“Instead, you must proceed with the Ammatovy mine as promised.”
“Say this.”
In the future, all mineral resources were to be exported through all-mining.
In addition, the government has a 60% stake, so it has all the decision-making powers related to mining.
Even if they secured a 40% stake, only a portion of the sales revenue was returned.
***
A week later.
Son Young-seok counteracted the backlash of preferential logistics and made him cancel the land contract.
And I was thinking of leaving Madagascar after receiving President Andrea’s confirmation about the Ammatovy mine.
Because there is nothing that can be done in this country anymore.
However, when I saw the articles and news that flowed out of the media, I did not stop walking.
– Australia’s mining company All Mining’s representative, turned out to be a Korean businessman Edward Jin.
– Suwanga who returned 60% of the stake in the Ammatovy mine to the government free of charge, Edward Jean. who is he?
-All-mining, discovery of the world’s first Grandi Deerite ore vein. A gift to the government for the people of Madagascar.
– Government, civil and irrigation facilities construction plans announced. The construction company announced that it plans to carry out more than 80% of the process through all-mining only with the manpower of workers, not advanced equipment.
– 90% of the civil engineering project budget is determined by Allmaning at its own expense! The price is all for treasure exploration and ownership recognition in the waters of Madagascar.
-All-mining, treasure ownership is a single sheet of paper and contributes to the creation of billions of dollars of jobs.
-trot! All-mining found a shipwreck that appears to be William Kidd’s pirate ship near St. Marie’s Island. There are about 2 million pounds of silver ingots, and the value is whopping…
Son Young-seok stared blankly at the endless news.
‘What is all this? Edward Jean? Could it be… Jin Yu-seong?’
It could be the same person, but Son Young-seok instinctively thought that he was the same person.
‘Are you returning 60% of your stake in the mine? Not Andrea, but All Mining? So, does that mean it was Edward Jin who started the Sumimoto Group?’
Sohn Young-seok was so engrossed in the information.
‘Wait, come to think of it, there was a saying that even in Macau at that time, the reason Chairman Stanley moved was that friend…’
The rumor that he was behind the incident in which the entire Macau security forces moved was still strong in my mind, so I could remember it.
So I thought that Sumimoto’s movements were similar then and now.
‘Well then, Andrea, Arc, La Campo. Jin Yu-seong, that friend is at the center of the three people?’
The transfer of power between Andrea and Arc.
The meeting between Arc and La Campo in the military.
Come to think of it, they had been antagonistic to each other, far from seeing each other until then.
However, that was not enough, and all the circumstances and news were matching as if they had been agreed upon.
“Gwangbae.”
Jo Gwang-bae approached Son Young-seok’s call and answered.
“Yes, Deputy Minister.”
“All-mining, find out where they are staying. I’ll have to go there once.”
“All right.”
After Jo Gwang-bae left, Son Young-seok picked up the phone.
“Uh, it’s me. Do a background check. My name is Jin Yu-seong. He immigrated to Australia last year, so it’ll be on the record. What? Scope of investigation?”
Son Young-seok said with a cool gaze.
“Everything. Dig up everything you can dig up to your in-laws and your cousins.”
After hanging up the call, Son Young-seok turned his gaze back to the TV screen.
The news was pouring out provocative articles, illuminating the silver ingots found in the wreck.
‘You are the one who interrupted me, and if you’re right, it won’t go as smoothly as in Macau.’
