187 episodes. Are there enough oil fields in Australia?
Jang Min-soo hung up the phone nervously.
“You crazy bastard! What? Should I carry a bomb!?”
He trampled on the cell phone with the number exposed and smashed it.
Then he pulled out another cell phone and made a call.
“I do. It seems that Vice Minister Son Young-seok is detained in Madagascar. Please check it out through the South African embassy.”
After moving the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, he sat helplessly on the sofa.
It was because the anxiety that Jin Yu-seong said was the truth came over.
As he said, if the resource diplomacy project goes wrong, and if Vice Minister Son Young-seok is not released from prison in Madagascar, the thoughts of what will happen to him never ceased in his head.
‘Without the Vice Minister, all of your rebukes will be directed at me…’
That alone made my spine shiver.
President Jang Hak-jun, his uncle, did not know what he would do if this project went wrong.
Because the resource diplomacy project was related to his last ambition.
‘By the way, he said that the Abest case, which was taken over by Director Choi Jin-hyuk, has not been deposited yet.’
For various reasons, the situation of delaying the child-by-child deposit was getting longer.
This was also the case for the Asian, Australian and Canadian companies he was responsible for.
Everyone seemed to be making a similar move as if they had reached an agreement.
“I’m going crazy.”
What is more difficult to understand is that Jin Yu-seong seemed to know the current situation.
A behind-the-scenes transaction of black money that cannot be known unless the parties are involved.
“Mr. Jang, are you okay?”
Lily approached quietly and hugged Min-soo Jang from behind.
“Oh, was it a little noisy?”
“What did you say that made you so angry?”
Lily asked as if she expected it to be carrying a bomb but didn’t understand.
“It’s nothing. You don’t have to care.”
“Mr. Chang, as I said before, I want to be a strength to you.”
“……”
In the silence of Jang Min-soo, Lily said with a sad expression on her face.
“Can’t I be that kind of person to you? I’m still just a Lisboa girl.”
“No, it’s not. But…”
“Then tell me. I told you, I’ll always be by your side.”
“Whew…”
“I won’t force it. If it’s hard to say, you don’t have to.”
As Lily got up, Min-soo Jang grabbed her wrist.
“sit down.”
I was still frustrated and needed someone to discuss the situation with.
But there was no one around to listen to her, so even if Lily didn’t help, she wanted to express her feelings.
“Right now, I’m carrying out a very important national task. Since the person who entrusted me with this task is a relative, it’s a project that should not fail from my point of view.”
He continued the story without revealing that his uncle, Hak-Jun Jang, was the president of the Republic of Korea.
From when the project started to go wrong, to the situation where Son Young-seok, who oversees all the plans, was detained in a certain country.
And that someone who seems to have secretly led it all approached him.
“Then what does he want from Mr. Chang?”
“If you see that you told me to carry the bomb, you’re going to have to go back to Korea and surrender.”
“What if, what if? What if Mr. Zhang reveals everything and turns himself in?”
“If you turn yourself in? He won’t let you go. He’s in control of the political and business world as well as the legal world. He won’t even be prosecuted. In a word, surrender is useless.”
“Hmm…”
Lily gave her a look of disbelief.
“what’s the matter?”
“No, it’s strange. Wasn’t Korea a democracy? How can it take full control of the political and legal world? It’s not even a communist country like China…”
“Hahaha, that’s what you’re saying. I exaggerated a bit, but that’s how I emphasized how strong his influence is.”
“Then, wouldn’t it be okay to open the information to people not under his influence?”
“…that’s right, though.”
Lily posed another question to Jang Min-soo, who was trembling.
“Do you think it was a grace that he entrusted Mr. Chang with the work? So are you hesitating?”
“Huh? No, even grace…”
He had thought like that for a while, but as he proceeded with the project, he realized that it was an illusion.
Moreover, President Jang Hak-jun, his uncle, didn’t try to use himself and his father as bullets.
“Then what happens if you don’t follow what the mysterious person suggested? Can’t you be held responsible for the failure of that important project?”
“……”
“Are you sure you can fix it now?”
“No, it probably won’t.”
“Then what happens when you take responsibility? Is it possible that a high person can redeem you?”
“……”
maybe die
Jang Min-soo couldn’t help but utter those words.
“How long do I have to live in prison? 1 year? 2 years?”
“……”
“Or maybe 10 years? Is that so?”
“Whew…”
A long sigh escaped, and Min-soo Jang said just one word.
“Your life will be in danger.”
“yes?”
“You might die. It’s not just a failure, but if you lose that money.”
He wasn’t just an uncle to leave behind.
Even if he was a nephew, it was obvious that his life would be threatened.
“…But. But why are you worrying? What is more precious than life?”
Her words flew like a dagger.
‘That’s right… Shit.’
Jang Min-soo was so confused in his head that he went crazy.
***
Remittance of slush funds and contract for stake in mining in the name of All Mining.
Thus, the schedule on the African continent was completed.
After that, I set the destination of the private plane to Australia.
It felt like returning home after a long trip.
“What do you think Mr. Jang will do? Are you going to give up like this?”
I smiled at Jackie’s question.
“Lily will keep persuading you.”
“Can I just trust that woman? It’s a bit harsh to say things like this, but she says she’s in the entertainment industry.”
“Yeah, but Mr. Chang didn’t just see Lily as a sexual object. He’ll do well.”
I asked, holding Jackie’s hand.
“Are you worried?”
“Of course. If that person doesn’t come forward and get the Korean president’s attention, Edward might get angry.”
“It’s okay, I’ll know when I know. What if I do? I’m an Australian citizen now, so there’s no legal problem.”
What can President Hak-Jun Chang do in a foreign country?
At best, they’ll frame me and try to extradite me, or send someone secretly.
But now that I am a fairly influential businessman in Australia, I have the ability to resist repatriation, and I am not too concerned about personal threats since I absorbed Son Young-seok’s mercenary unit.
“But be careful for the time being, because you don’t know what to do.”
“Okay. And I’ll tell the GL group to take a look at Korea’s moves, so don’t worry too much.”
Now, the GL group is like my limbs.
However, it was once a customer.
The world really doesn’t know.

P&B Tower, which went to work at the same time as he returned.
Our president was waiting for him to lose his throat, so we hurried up to the penthouse.
Henry looked a lot older than before he left, but he looked relatively healthy.
“I heard the news.”
Hmm, I guess I’m talking about the mines I bought all over the world.
This time, I was shopping a little too much.
“Did you hear me? I guarantee you will get a return of several tens of times your investment.”
“No, it’s not that business, it’s the love business.”
Eh? it’s love
“Jackie?”
“Yeah, you two were going to get married?”
“Marriage? No, why did you go all the way there?”
“Isn’t that what Jackie told the staff not to be a widow?”
“Uh huh, that’s what I said, but that doesn’t mean you’re getting married.”
Are you pushing for marriage again this time?
The momentum of the old man is also good.
“What do you think, but get married quickly. It’s better to do it when you’re even a year younger.”
“Coming out, why does Henry look so annoyed that he can’t keep up with me and Jackie?”
“That’s because the two of them get along well. At this age, you can see that. Heh heh.”
“Does it really mean anything else?”
“If I had meant something else, I would have told you. Is there anything to hide between us?”
oh my, that’s hot
Is it because you have something to hide?
“Hmm, aside from that, did you hear about the mine?”
“Lucy sent me the report, so I took a good look. But that’s not how you found the burial site, but the way you bought an existing company and mine. Maybe there’s a reason I haven’t told you before?”
Henry thought that it would be the direction of obtaining the right to develop the burial site that I found through clairvoyance on the exploration trip, but he was asking the truth as he went through mergers and acquisitions.
“Yes, I’m sorry I couldn’t tell you in advance. I did it because I thought Henry would stop him from doing it if he found out.”
“Why are you even saying you’re sorry?”
I told you about what happened with Vice Minister Sohn Young-seok in Macau and the information about the resource diplomacy project that I got in the process.
And that the result of touching it was Lucy’s report.
“Haha, I said clearly at the time. That’s a policy that the President of the Republic of Korea attaches importance to, so touching it would be dangerous.”
I pretended not to know and spit out what Henry had said at the time.
“Who said that, Clairvoyant has good eyes but bad ears. It’s real, isn’t it? Haha.”
“Hey, you remembered that, but didn’t you hear the contents with your ears? Anyway, Gary and you both have a knack for buying and hitting.”
“Still, I didn’t intend to do that first, but I touched it there first. And the location of All Mining was too insecure to just pass by.”
“The location of all-mining?”
“Like Jencock, we thought that if we scaled up, we would be checked by global mining companies. So, as a representative, I needed to rise to a position similar to them at once. For that, I used Korea’s resource diplomacy project. “
The day to confront them head-to-head is already imminent, from the secret meeting between Forescu Metal and Seongsam C&T, to the case with Rao Tinto related to the gold mine.
Henry, who knew all this, shook his head as if I was right.
“Wow, I see. But I’m glad I didn’t do it without thinking too much.”
“Maybe sooner or later, the industry will be buzzing.”
“Not only the industry, but the world will focus on all-mining. Before that, you and I should prepare a little.”
“Are you ready?”
“You’re preparing to list All Mining, and I need to lubricate here and there. If I get attention, I’ll make money.”
“Are you going to go public?”
“It’s more than enough just what’s in the report. And it’s absolutely necessary.”
“……?”
Henry explained that All Mining should be listed for the purpose of showing it to the political world.
Creation of sovereign wealth funds related to resources.
Since the spearhead is all-mining, it was to show the level of his skills and growth.
“Are you going to show it to politicians who are skeptical of sovereign wealth funds?”
“That’s right, it’s not as large a deposit as the North Sea oil field in Norway, but we have to show that we can have a similar size with a variety of minerals and resources.”
“Hmm…”
I crossed my arms and was silent for a moment.
It’s not that Henry’s words were wrong, but it was because it didn’t seem like it would have an impact if I put together the little things.
“Why?”
“If that’s the case, I’ll show you.”
“What?”
“The fact that Australia has as many resource deposits as the North Sea oil field.”
“Is there really such a place?”
I said to Henry with his eyes wide open.
“It’s a shale oil field, but the amount is quite large, so politicians will be very excited about that.”
“How many sheep?”
“When I calculated it with Jackie, it was about 230 billion barrels. Saudi Arabia, the No. 1 reserve, has about 260 billion barrels, right?”
“What? Are there enough oil fields in Australia?”
have.
It belongs to the development rights received from Jencock.
‘If President Lina Dainhart finds out, my stomach hurts.’
