230 episodes. It’s a hearing… it’s fun.
After taking an oath at the hearing, Min-soo Jang revealed the full details of the contract for the Capuas bituminous coal mine.
“At that time, the back contract did not go smoothly due to Manager Young-Hoon Lee. That’s why we asked President Seon-Jung Kim to change the person in charge. After that, he ordered the new Deputy Manager Cha Byung-Chul to deliver the rebate amount stated in the contract.”
He pulled out a copy of the back contract from his briefcase.
“What Manager Young-hoon Lee has is that the contract has not been signed, but this is a contract between HJWG and Korea Mineral Resources Corporation. It also contains the signatures of Deputy Manager Cha Byeong-cheol and President Kim Seon-joong, so please take it as evidence.”
“……!”
President Kim Seon-joong, as well as the presidents of public corporations and officials, had a pale complexion.
No one would have thought that Jang Min-soo would have turned his back.
Min-soo Jang submitted all the data on corruption and embezzlement not only in the Capuas mine but also in the resource diplomacy project.
He also publicly revealed that President Chang Hak-jun was behind all of that.
“Uncle, no, the president invested a huge amount of national treasury under the pretext of overseas resource development. But in reality, it was a work to deliberately inflict damage and give huge profits to the shareholders, creditors, and banks of the acquisition target company and to get back money.”
Kang Dae-seong, a member of the People’s Innovation Party, asked what he said.
“Miss Jang Min-soo, did you take on the project even though you knew it beforehand?”
“Yes, I knew.”
There were sighs everywhere.
This was because the resource diplomacy project had been extensively covered by the media even before the start, and those present at this event were aware of its size, at least.
By the way,
“The state government has provided about 40 trillion won. How much of that amount was used to raise slush funds?”
Jang Min-soo’s reply was shocking.
“In addition to Article 40, the amount of assets held as collateral by public companies participating in the project should be included.”
“What, what!?”
“From what I understand, the total budget, including that amount, is about 100 trillion won.”
“……!!”
The moment the amount of 100 trillion came out, silence came to the hearing hall.
***
The whole country was buzzing.
The shock that trillion 100 brought was that great.
-Aren’t you crazy!? 100 trillion? How many balls are there? One, ten, one hundred, ten, ten thousand, one hundred thousand, one million, ten million, billion, one billion… uh, huh? I don’t have enough fingers.
-Why are you counting that, you asshole. That’s 14.
– I’m curious. I’ve never seen a swan at the zoo.
-Do drip coffee when you are alone.
– So, how much did you eat from 100 trillion?
– If you’re like Kaka, you’ve done quite a bit.
– Even in Korea, it is finally possible to embezzle in groups. My heart is getting bigger!
-I think it would be nice to skip the people’s backs and become majestic.
-why? He’s hot worthy of the title of economic president.
-Yeah, you ate 100 trillion hot. Keep change in your pocket.
– It’s not certain that Gaka led the way yet, but public opinion is coming.
– The person who made the accusation is Kaka’s nephew. What is public opinion?
-Didn’t you know that Jang Young-joon was being investigated for embezzlement of a horse society a while ago? Jang Min-soo That guy is protesting that he won’t take his father out. Is your head not spinning? It’s clear that all of that was manipulated by Jang Min-soo.
-The embezzlement of the magic society must have been Kaka’s fault and blamed the older brother. So my nephew is mad.
– I’m writing a screenplay lol
-If you have a brain, isn’t it natural to reason like this?
-Are you a detective? The reasoning is Nigimi.
– Wait, wait. Don’t you all know the core right now?
-main point?
-What?
– Resource development. They haven’t even opened their first shovel yet, but they can’t figure out what to do with corruption and how profitable it is. You have to dig it out to know, but before that, what are you doing?
– Did you miss the news? You said you poured 100 trillion?
-How do you know now if you will invest 100 trillion won and make 100 trillion won in profit or 100 trillion won in loss?
-Well······
-And if it’s wrong, you’re damn smart. All of the mines from the hearings did not start step by step from the exploration stage, but went straight to the production stage through mergers and acquisitions.
-Isn’t that because I’m not skilled enough?
-No, if you don’t have the skills, you can form a consortium or seek technical advice. As you said, they made justifications with technological tare and poured billions of dollars into mergers and acquisitions.
-Wow, you bastard, pretend you’re not and turn it around.
-Intelligent lol
Whether online or offline, it’s been on the people’s lips all day long.
The unimaginable amount, the ripple effect of 100 trillion won, was that much.
***
second hearing.
The witnesses who were requested to attend this time were external officials, not public corporations, related to the resource diplomacy project.
The first to answer the questions were the Blue House aide, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Knowledge Economy, and other ministries.
But all of them remained ignorant.
It was one word, ‘It’s unfounded’.
“I’ll bring the next witness.”
At the words of Rep. Hong Kyung-moon of the New Central Party for Korea, the door of the hearing hall opened and a man in a shroud appeared.
He was Choi Soo-hyeok, a former chief of staff at the Blue House.
It is natural for people to be upset when they appear.
He was called Jang Hak-jun’s right arm, but it was because he was a representative person who was eventually abandoned.
“I’ll ask Choi Soo-hyuk, the former chief of staff.”
Hong Kyung-moon made a hardboard paper by summarizing the data submitted by Jang Min-soo, and asked whether it was true or not.
Choi Soo-hyuk answered all the questions as follows.
“Yes, it’s all true.”
At that time, pro-general lawmaker Kim Gap-ryong asked.
“Is there any evidence that President Jang Hak-joon is involved in the testimonies now?”
“I am a witness.”
“Aren’t you a person who committed corruption and was sacked by the president. You can give false testimony in retaliation, how can you believe everything you say?”
Choi Soo-hyuk pursed his lips.
If he had known this, he would have regretted that he would collect evidence instead of being loyal like a dog with his right arm.
Then, biting his lips, he flashed and raised his head.
“What happened to Vice Minister Son Young-seok? Was he repatriated to Korea?”
Kang Dae-seong, a member of the People’s Innovation Party, answered his question.
“I am still detained in Madagascar. Why are you looking for Vice Minister Son Young-seok?”
“He drafted the volunteer diplomacy project and controlled all the details. And…”
After hesitating for a while, Choi Soo-hyuk opened his mouth.
“He has clear evidence that this case is involved with the President.”
Choi Soo-hyuk did not know exactly whether there was any evidence for Son Young-seok.
However, I thought that he must have secured the evidence even by trickery.
He was still a character.
“So, I asked the Madagascar government for cooperation…”
-bang. bang. bang.
Kim Gap-ryong banged on the table and shouted.
“Reference! Just answer the questions!”
“It’s also a relevant answer.”
As their voices gradually increased, the chairman of the special committee intervened.
“Come on, stop it. As a reference, please refrain from speaking about people who are not here, as you said.”
After taking a short break, the chairman said he would start the investigation again, and then left.
The lawmakers who participated in the national investigation were busy discussing with each other rather than taking a break.
10 minutes later,
The chairperson returned to the chair and the hearings resumed.
The participants this time were Koh Sang-moon, managing director of GL Group, and Shin Woo-seop, president of GL Corporation.
And they submitted a tablet saying that it was the material of Son Young-seok, which Choi Soo-hyuk mentioned earlier.
“It contains transcripts and videos of President Jang Hak-joon’s direct instructions for corruption in the voluntary diplomacy project, as well as information on slush fund accounts in borrowed names.”
“It’s manipulation. You’re making fun of the state investigation with fabricated evidence!”
Kim Gap-ryong jumped up, pointed a finger, and shouted.
“Rep. Kim, please take a seat, as we will find out if the facts of the data are true or not.”
The chairman adopted the tablet as evidence and passed the question-and-answer session to Rep. Kang Dae-seong of the People’s Innovation Party.
“Did the witness receive the evidence directly from Vice Minister Son Young-seok, who is detained abroad?”
“No, it was sent to me by someone anonymous.”
“Can anyone guess who it is?”
“No. Maybe it’s from the Vice Minister Son Young-seok.”
“Okay. The next question is. At GL Group, you acted as an advisor for resource development. Did you know about corruption in advance?”
“I didn’t know.”
“Then when did you know there was a problem?”
“I found out after reviewing the contract terms and progress for each business at the beginning of this year.”
“Are you willing to present relevant materials as evidence?”
“Yes, it is already ready.”
As soon as Koh Sang-moon finished speaking, Kang Jun-ho brought several boxes of materials in a small cart.
As it was a project carried out all over the world, the amount of data was enormous.
Just then, the chairman opened his mouth after checking the watch.
“The Q&A session of the lecturer is over. Now, let’s hold a hearing with this today…”
“Wait!”
The person who stood up and stopped talking was Pro-Baek-gye lawmaker Hong Kyung-moon.
“Hong, if you have something to say, please do so at the next 3rd hearing.”
“No, there is a witness missing today, so I stood up to inform the chairman.”
“What do you mean?”
“Weren’t those present today outside the project?”
“By the way?”
“There is another person who needs a witness statement.”
“Who are you talking about? If it’s reasonable, I’ll ask you to attend the 3rd hearing.”
“There is a mining company that has made several bids with public companies for a resource diplomacy project called All Mining.”
At those words, the pupils of those who knew about all-mining in the hall widened.
The chairman shook his head.
“You say it was a competitor. It makes sense. But is All Mining a domestic company?”
“No. It’s an Australian company.”
“Then it will take a long time to attend as a witness.”
“It’s an Australian company, but the president is currently in Korea, so there will be no problem attending the hearing.”
“Hmm, right? Then the committee will ask him to attend the next hearing.”
“thank you.”
Baek Jae-seong, who was watching everything from behind, slowly raised the corners of his lips.
***
I laughed out loud while watching the parliamentary hearings.
The name of All Mining came out of the mouth of the Daehan Shinjung Party, a pro-white person who thought it was like an ally.
“After all, politicians don’t know where they’re going.”
I didn’t really care because I assumed it would follow the trend, but it tripped me over.
“It’s clear that Baek Jae-seong was planning behind the scenes, not Hong Kyung-moon.”
I also agreed with Yoohyeon’s argument.
“Yeah, yes. But how did Jae-Sung Baek know about me? Even the fact that I was in Korea.”
“Since the ruling party led the resource diplomacy project, no matter how different factions were, wouldn’t it be possible to obtain information?
“Is that so…”
There is no problem knowing that I and All Mining exist.
As it is in the document, it is a part that can be known at any time.
It just came out sooner than expected.
‘It’s a hearing… it’s fun.’
