225 episodes. There is no end to greed
Park Yoo-hyeon and Jang Min-soo were able to meet easily.
Of course, this was thanks to Lilly telling me before he left Korea that he wasn’t staying.
In addition, it was impossible because African mercenaries attacked it unexpectedly.
Because the skills of the bodyguard that Min-soo Jang hired did not even reach their toes.
“It’s been a long time since I’ve seen you, Jang Min-soo.”
At Park Yoo-hyeon’s words, Jang Min-soo glanced at the mercenaries standing behind him first.
They were immediately recognizable because they were the people Young-seok Son had been running in the past.
But it wasn’t the man in front of him.
“You… who are you?”
“Ah, this is the first time I’ve greeted you properly. My name is Park Yoo-hyeon. I’ve been acting on behalf of CEO Jin Yu-seong.”
“Wow, for what purpose did you cross the threshold of my house so rudely?”
A look of contortion and fear on his face.
Jang Min-soo truly felt threatened with his life.
Unsurprisingly, the mercenaries in front of him were those who treated human life like a fly’s life in the words of Son Young-seok.
“You don’t have to be so nervous. I’m just here to ask you a few questions.”
“……”
“Mr. Jang Min-soo, are you planning to sell your father and save your place?”
“what……”
“Our representative must have warned you in advance. Eat them before they get eaten.”
Jang Min-soo pursed her lips and looked at Park Yoo-hyeon.
“Do you think President Jang Hak-jun will leave Jang Min-soo alone?”
“……”
“Don’t you think you’ll be the target if the corruption of the resource diplomacy project is exposed?”
“Perhaps… it is.”
There was a nuance of knowing from the appearance of meekly agreeing.
Park Yoo-hyeon looked at him calmly.
“Your uncle will leave me alone for that role, regardless of your father’s sacrifice.”
“Are you going to stay still?”
“When will that be? In a month? In a year?”
Jang Min-soo sighed and continued.
“It will be at least ten years from now.”
It had many meanings.
Even if there was any corruption before that, it would be difficult to uncover the corruption due to the nature of resource development, and until then, he had to be exiled instead of exiled.
“Aren’t you in charge of leading the resource diplomacy project together with Vice Minister Sohn Young-seok? If we disclose all the materials we have…”
“How do you prove that that was your uncle’s plan, and that it was the money you stole?”
Jang Min-soo continued speaking with a distorted face.
“Vice Minister Son Young-seok and I will all be covered. The media, the prosecution, and even the courts are nowhere in which Uncle’s hand has not reached.”
“You mean you’re going to wait for me to die? Like a pig in the slaughterhouse?”
“……”
“Then what about this. What if the corruption of that resource diplomacy is revealed right away, not ten years later?”
“what do you mean?”
“Remember Lee Young-hoon, Manager of Korea Mineral Resources Corporation?”
Of course I remembered it.
He was the person who bothered him the most among all the working people.
“Maybe him…”
“Yes, we will start with the Capuas Bituminous Coal Mine Rebate.”
It is a representative case of illegally committed from the beginning of the process, leaving the profitability and slush funds of the mine.
In the course of the takeover, they even put in an off-the-shelf company and specify the amount of the rebate in the back contract.
In addition, he also committed personnel negligence by sacking the person responsible for the whistleblower.
Not only the president of the Korea Mineral Resources Corporation, but also himself, who gave the order, were bound to be tied up unconditionally.
“Hey, fuck it…”
Jang Min-soo wrapped his head around and was in pain.
In this case, the father was not sacrificing, but merely doing something meaningless.
– Tiling.
At that time, the sound of the letter exquisitely penetrated the silence between the two.
‘yes? This······’
Park Yoo-hyeon looked at his cell phone and the corners of his lips rose by itself.
“Minsu Jang, listen to this too.”
Park Yoo-hyeon put his cell phone on the table and played the recorded file.
It contained the contents of the conversation between Son Young-seok and Jin Yu-seong.
“······································································!
Jang Min-soo had an intuition that it was over when he heard that Son Young-seok would hand over all materials on condition of his release.
It was because it was clear that he would be able to at least 100% satisfy the conditions of impeachment with the data he had.
“How did you change your mind?”
Jang Min-soo nodded at the question that was sure to have changed.
“I will cooperate. Instead, please help me to do my father’s embroidery work with my uncle.”
“Isn’t that hard enough? But…”
“I know, punishment is hard to avoid. Extenuating circumstances are sufficient.”
Park Yoo-hyeon nodded and got up from his seat and said.
“Then let’s go, there’s a lot of work to do.”
***
The quiet Blue House turned upside down.
The incident started with foreign media reports.
-The sale of Abest Company in Canada is used as a slush fund window for high-ranking Korean politicians.
– Uzbekistan Chimkaltasai mine, it turns out that an exorbitant sale price has been paid compared to the reserves. Investor in doubt, Korea!
– Suspicious rebates related to the Indonesian Capuas mining transaction, confirmed that a Korean public company was involved.
– Myanmar offshore block, several billions of dollars invested despite zero profitability. The source of the funds was found to be Korea.
-What is the true meaning of a Korean public corporation that has taken over the insolvent business of the Mexican copper mine?
– A Korean public company that took over a stake in Peruana Tech, a Peruvian mining company, why the hell?
– Bolivian Li…
-Kazakhstan copper mine…
-Cameroon Diamond…
– Congo cobalt…
-Australian gas mine…
– Iraqi Kurdish oil fields…
Reporting stations ranged from major media that everyone knows, such as the BBC and CNN, to so many small and medium-sized media that it is difficult to count them all.
It was as if foreign media outlets, except for the domestic media, were planning to report only this.
“What the hell kind of bastards!”
The aides couldn’t raise their heads at Jang Hak-jun’s shouting.
They are also looking into it, but it was so simultaneous that it was difficult to figure out whose craftsmanship it was.
“You bastards! What did you do until you got to this point!”
Again, there was no answer this time.
No, I couldn’t.
For them, it was like lightning in the dry sky.
‘Without Son Young-seok and Choi Soo-hyuk, all the heads are left…’
It was too late to regret it now.
He didn’t actively move to save Son Young-seok, nor did he hold the hand that Choi Soo-hyuk held out when he fell into a trap due to a trouble with Seong-sam.
“Call Min-soo Jang right now. The only person who knows all about that is that bastard…”
That moment,
Jin Yu-seong flashed through Jang Hak-jun’s mind.
Those who knew the big picture of the resource diplomacy project had to include GNOME as well.
He was the one who stole that information by himself.
‘Is it Jin Yoo-seong, that guy?’
Things were a little odd for that.
If you were planning to leak project information to foreign media from the beginning, you wouldn’t have to come to Korea.
After appearing voluntarily, there was no reason to divulge information in the same way that he had a deal with him.
“Damn, President!”
Hak-Jun Jang, who was awakened by the urgent sound of calling himself, turned his head in annoyance.
“What else!?”
“Hey, look at the BBC broadcast. So, I think it’s Vice Minister Son Young-seok.”
“What?”
A mosaic-processed silhouette appeared in the left corner of the large monitor prepared at the back of the office.
It was news from the BBC.
-BBC exclusive coverage, a high-ranking public official in Korea S’s shock exposure scheduled to be broadcast.
It was difficult to recognize, but everyone could guess that he was Son Young-seok from the appearance in the prison uniform and the fact that he was Mr. S.
And that guess led to a reasonable suspicion that Son Young-seok was the instigator of all these revelations.
This is because he has been a lobbyist for a long time and has made various connections all over the world.
“It seems that Vice Minister Son Young-seok is trying to put pressure on us.”
The secretary-general expressed his opinion.
It had to be seen as the intention of blowing it all out if anyone didn’t take it out quickly.
“Hey, I’m going to kill you bastard…”
Hakjun Jang trembled with his lips.
If I could, I wanted to plug that snout right now.
“Where did you put the UDT?”
“We are waiting for you at the Jang Bogo Box in the waters of Somalia.”
“Then grab it first… No, no.”
Hakjun Jang shook his head and continued.
“I was excited for a while. There is Jin Yu-seong, so there’s no need to work hard. Son Young-seok will get it out through there, so I know that.”
“All right.”
“You guys are all stuck over there, so block the domestic media tightly. Broadcasts, newspapers, the internet, whatever it is, don’t let a single line of the article go out!”
After saying that, Jang Hak-jun got up from his seat.
“I’ll see you.”
At the words of the chief of staff, Jang Hak-jun frowned and kicked his shin.
“I told you to stop the press because everyone stuck together? Where do you follow me?”
“Sin, I’m sorry.”
“Be sure to dabble until you come back. Okay!?”
“Okay, President.”
Hak-Jun Jang left the Blue House with only his bodyguards.
The place he was heading to was the Saga he lived in before entering the Blue House.
Sagae was guarded by members of the Presidential Security Office.
Although it was an empty house, it was guarded by Jang Hak-jun’s instructions.
“Everyone, wait outside, if there’s anything, call me.”
Hak-Jun Jang, who had all the people waiting outside the mansion, slowly headed towards the basement.
The walls were lined with numerous wine displays, and the corners were full of oak barrels.
“Soundbite.”
Hak-Jun Jang grabbed the side of the wine display and started pushing it slowly.
– Droopy.
With the sound of a pulley rolling, the entire shelf was pushed back and the hidden door was revealed.
Hak-Jun Jang pressed the number key to open the door and slowly walked into the darkness.
***
I closed my eyes and watched Hak-Jun Jang with interest.
It was thanks to the marking when I met him at the Blue House.
‘Even if it’s like this or that, the old people are the old people.”
A secret place hidden under the basement.
No matter how much technology advances and the world changes, it seems that the emotions that are instilled in the body do not change well.
“Now, what is there?”
Like the location of the secret place, wouldn’t the expectation be different this time as well?
He continued his appreciation with a look of great anticipation.
-Paat.
Hak-Jun Jang arrived at the secret place and turned on the light.
And in the revealed place, the sound of ‘Wow’ came out of nowhere.
‘Crazy bastard…’
In the center of the room measuring about 20 pyeong, gold bars were stacked on a wooden pallet.
And next to it were stacks of dollars the size of bricks that you see when news about foreign exchange comes out, and they are stacked one after another on another pallet.
It wasn’t just that.
There were various art pieces on the wall.
Paintings were hung on the wall, and items such as ceramics were lying on the floor.
‘Hey, is this your mancave? I’m not kidding.’
Mancave.
It is a term derived from a TV program that was quite popular in the United States as a term for a space only for men.
Just by looking at the objects that filled this space, we could clearly see what Hak-Jun Chang’s interests, hobbies, tastes, etc. were his desires.
‘I thought it would be a slush fund account at best, but it’s far from what I expected.’
How the hell is that all?
I think it would be hundreds of billions of dollars just to collect here.
‘But what is that?’
The wall opposite the artwork.
There, along with several photos, a relationship diagram was entangled like a spider’s web.
If there is something a little different from movies and dramas, there are buildings, not people, in the photos.
‘real estate? No, this is…’
Looking carefully at each connection point, I got a rough idea.
What is Hak-Jun Jang planning after the president?
‘I’m not sure, but I think I know. At that time, why did you say that dryness is only dryness?’
Those words seem to come from experience.
On the table below the relationship diagram, numerous materials were scattered all over the place.
‘There is no end to greed.’
