Blue house.
It looked quiet on the outside, but on the inside it wasn’t really a riot.
– Wajangchangchang.
Hak-Jun Jang, who threw whatever he caught, gasped for breath.
The reason he couldn’t control his anger was because of the evidence from the hearing.
‘Son Young-seok, you bastard…’
He had at least one weakness of his own, but he didn’t think he would pass it on.
This is because they usually think of it as a lifeline and hold it in their hands until the very end.
“come in!”
At his shout, the door swung open and the new chief of staff entered.
“Did you call?”
“Call Jin Yu-seong right now!”
“All right.”
He immediately took out his cell phone and made a call, and opened his mouth with a pale face.
“My wife, you are busy preparing for the hearing.”
“What!? I can’t come because I’m busy? Call it a horse!”
“Sin, sin, sorry.”
Hak-Jun Jang asked, grinning at this.
“What happened to the money? The name of the mine was transferred?”
“That’s still….”
In response to his answer, Hakjun Jang shook his head and let out a long sigh.
“I wonder what I’m doing with these assholes…”
“……”
“get out.”
“yes?”
“Get out!”
After the chief of staff ran back and forth, Hak-Jun Jang floundered on the sofa.
Even if I put everything else aside, I couldn’t easily skip these two.
One is the material passed on by Son Young-seok.
If it was collected by him, it must have been the main evidence for impeachment.
Because unlike the others, he wasn’t that lame.
The second is the slush fund that Jin Yu-seong has.
Without it, there would be insufficient funds to acquire the Daehyun Group stake.
But it was clear which of the two had priority.
Hak-Jun Jang picked up his cell phone to put out the urgent fire of impeachment.
“Lee Won-jang, it’s sharp.”
– Yes, President. I just watched the hearing broadcast. I was waiting for you, thinking that you would still contact me.
If you watched the show, you should have contacted me first, but I was waiting.
His brow furrowed, but he did not show any expression and received the words of Chief Justice Lee Seong-taek.
“Then I can understand why you called. Take care of your line. Don’t do nonsense in the impeachment trial.”
– Heh heh, it’s an impeachment trial. The judges will follow the law. It will be difficult to forcibly block the yard where Vice Minister Sohn’s data came out. don’t you know
“Have you ever met Rep. Baek Jae-seong?”
– A white doctor? We sometimes have a drink, but we haven’t seen each other lately.
“Don’t tell lies that won’t even eat your seeds. Judge Lee Wonjang well. Whether you spend a few years in prison or life in prison is up to you to rot for the rest of your life.”
– Heh heh, I’ll read it.
Seongtaek Lee ended the call unilaterally after saying that.
“You bat-like bastard!”
Hak-Jun Jang, who was about to throw the cell phone he was holding, stopped his hand and sighed.
Because there was still one more thing to take care of yourself.
-Turrr.
“Why isn’t this guy answering the phone again?”
It was then that the beep had been ringing for a long time.
– I can’t make calls right now. again next time……
Hak-Jun Jang pressed the redial button with a thread on his forehead.
However,
– Call me now…
Patience exploded and screams erupted.
“These bastards! aah!”

“Is it okay if I don’t answer the phone?”
I laughed out loud at Koh Sang-moon’s question.
“I don’t have any business to meet now.”
“Haha, sometimes I envy Jin’s guts. He’s ignoring the president’s phone calls.”
“I’m not very bold. I got a call from the chief of staff.”
Of course, it was just for fun.
After taking a sip of coffee, I continued.
“Did you recognize Rep. Hong Kyung-moon more than that?”
“Yes, it is certain that Baek Jae-seong moved.”
“Why did that person point to me?”
“I’m not sure, but I have a guess.”
Koh mentioned the mines that public corporations did not secure in the list of mines in the resource diplomacy project.
“As CEO Jin knows, it is All Mining that took ownership of those mines.”
“Looking at the results, however, there was not only all-mining during the acquisition process. As a prime example, even in the Ammatovy mine, there was Sumimoto among its competitors.”
“Yeah, but the result is that it’s all-mined, you can see it with your sunglasses on.”
“It means that All Mining can be driven as if it was the president’s borrowed-name company.”
“That’s right. On paper, it’s an Australian company, but the CEO is Korean, so you’ll see it with more suspicion.”
It was highly likely that the pro-Baek system was used to attract attention at the hearing.
That way, the people will be able to make a living while the ruling party is scolding and cursing.
“Don’t go out. CEO Jin has no obligation to go out, and documents can be sufficient to prove that there are no problems in the acquisition process.”
Koh Sang-moon’s advice was common sense.
But I think it’s kind of awkward.
If I left it like this, it seemed like it would hurt more later on.
“CEO, I have something to report to you.”
Then Yoohyeon came in and said.
“What? Should I listen now?”
“Yes, it’s about Rep. Baek Jae-sung.”
Yoohyeon took three photos from her arms and handed them to me.
There is one photo each of Baek Jae-sung and Jang Young-jun entering the Hyatt Hotel VIP room.
And there was a picture of the two of them coming out together.
“The Khalid team took it last night.”
“Huh, Young-Jun Jang?”
It was put up to investigate Baek Jae-seong, who had worked hard, but Jang Young-jun was caught in the net.
“Eavesdropping?”
For a moment, Yoohyeon looked at Koh Sangmoon.
Even though they were on the same side, they seemed to be wary of sharing illegal parts because they had something in the past.
“It’s okay, so play it.”
How much money did we spend together, but illegality like this is aegyo.
“All right.”
The sound quality from the recorded file was not clear, but the content was understandable.
The key was simple.
I am the one who stole Hak-Jun Jang’s slush funds and monopolized the mines.
And using that information, Baek Jae-seong is aiming for the next presidential election by recovering slush funds from me, and if he becomes the next president, Jang Young-jun and Jang Min-soo will receive special pardons.
“Hahaha, this time it’s not the son, but the father?”
Do you refuse to drink alcohol and dare to drink punishment?
I thought it was because they weren’t rich, so I pulled it off a lot.
Is this also hereditary?

3rd Hearing.
The core agenda dealt with this time was about Hak-Jun Jang’s private organization, the Jangpo Association.
As a reference, Bosco’s CEO Cheon Kyung-deok attended, and based on the list he submitted in advance, there were ministerial-level figures among the members of the Jangpo Association.
Q&A was also conducted based on the data collected by Chun Kyung-deok.
Perhaps it was thanks to the president of a large company that supports Pohang, the information he uncovered about the corruption of the Jangpo Association, which is a non-profit organization in Pohang, was very specific and clear at a glance.
Thanks to this, the investigation of the Jangpo Association was quickly completed, and the question and answer of me raised at the second hearing began.
“As a reference, please indicate your name and affiliation with an oath.”
At the chairman’s words, I stood up, raised one hand, and opened my mouth.
“This is Edward Jean, the representative of All Mining. I swear to speak the truth without hiding or subsidizing according to my conscience and under penalty of perjury if there is a lie.”
After taking the oath and sitting down, the question-and-answer session began.
“Didn’t you take over mines in various parts of the world since last year?”
The person who asked me the question was Rep. Hong Kyung-moon of the Shinjung Party of Korea.
“That’s right.”
“It has been confirmed that a total of 15 mines, including the Ammatovy mine in Madagascar, had bids with Korean public companies. Is that true?”
“It’s true.”
“For reference, 15 places where Korean public companies fell into bidding while carrying out government projects, and it was confirmed that all of those mines were acquired by All Mining. Is there any place that could not be acquired because of a takeover battle with Korean public companies? “
“There is not.”
“Are you saying that All Mining took all of the places that it took part in the acquisition?”
“yes.”
“Okay. It’s really clever. Then I’ll ask the next question.”
“No, you have to finish the word.”
I grabbed the mic and continued speaking.
“Shouldn’t you point out what’s wrong with mines taking over mines with high potential value? Don’t go overboard with inflated suspicions.”
“I didn’t point out the acquisition problem, but I pointed it out because there was a reasonable suspicion that all-mining was related to the corruption of the resource diplomacy project.”
“It’s funny, to drive you into a corrupt company based on the circumstances. Then I’ll just point out the facts and tell you.”
“……?”
“Korea has conducted takeover battles in many parts of the world under the name of a resource diplomacy project. And I saw it in my eyes, Hogu who doesn’t know much about resource development and wants to make easy investments.”
“Did you know that I made a remark that would damage the honor of the Republic of Korea?”
“I told you? I will only tell you the facts. Meet the industry officials in the country where the takeover battle took place. Everyone will call you Global Hogu with one voice.
-bang. bang. bang.
The chairman tapped the hammer for the chairmanship with an uncomfortable expression and opened his mouth.
“This is the place for the Korean National Assembly hearing. Please hide your words from the witness.”
“I used some harsh terminology to vividly convey the local reaction. I’ll be careful.”
I bowed my head and offered my apology.
“Hongwon-sama, please continue.”
“Yes, Chairman.”
Hong Kyung-moon looked at me as if he was mad at my provocation and continued.
“You said you chose a good partner, so why didn’t other mining companies choose that good partner?”
“It looks like you didn’t read the data properly.”
“yes?”
“For example, in the battle to take over the Ammatovy mine, there was Sumimoto Corporation, an affiliate of the Sumimoto Group, which is said to be one of Japan’s three largest groups. Companies that can be recognized by name in other places also jumped into the takeover battle. It was not an easy acquisition by any means. What I said was easy is that Korean public corporations among their competitors did it.”
“It’s strange, how could a startup that was formed less than three years ago be able to take over so many mines, beating out those great companies.”
At his sarcastic remarks, I burst into laughter without realizing it.
“Ha ha ha ha ha.”
Then he raised one corner of his mouth, enjoying the gaze of everyone.
“I’m sorry. It seems like you didn’t do too much research on the other person after you brought this to the hearing.”
“……?”
“Aside from mines related to projects in Korea, do you know anything about the mines secured by All Mining?”
“……”
“You don’t seem to know.”
I smiled and continued.
“First of all, I own a 30% stake in Louis Hill, the world’s largest iron ore mine. Bosco is also a customer, so you can check it with CEO Cheon Kyung-deok over there.”
Chun Kyung-deok nodded, reassuring him that it was true.
“And we have successfully explored Arkaringa Basin, the second largest oil reserve after Saudi Arabia, and are conducting drilling jointly with Rao Tinto. We also have the world’s largest single deposit, the Gruyer Gold Mine and the Argyle Diamond Mine. Recently, the UK and We have signed a management contract with Brent Oil, one of the world’s three largest oil types, and we plan to take over as soon as the contract period between Royal Dutch Shell and British Petrolnium ends.”
I said to Hong Kyung-moon.
“Sir, it is true that All Mining is a new company that is less than 3 years old. However, it has risen to this position faster than any other great company.
Kyungmoon Hong swallowed his saliva and asked me.
“Well, then, what is the corporate value of All Mining?”
It’s a 3 year old company, so I guess I didn’t see it properly.
“As of this morning, ASX has a total market cap of $2.5 trillion.”
The market cap, which has been undervalued since the listing, was adjusted to the date of the hearing.
To trivialize 100 trillion won with 3,000 trillion won.
‘Now, can we talk about corruption here?’
