“I can’t take it anymore because it’s burdensome.”
Compared to the money invested in Silicon Valley startups, the money invested in Meta Molds was not a big deal.
“Isn’t there any talk of going to Savannah Mart at Savannah Market?”
“I haven’t had a bite yet.”
“Really? If we work together with Savannah Market, the synergy effect will be significant.”
“Because Koreans are more familiar with IT devices than Americans.”
“It is.”
It was good to say that Korean people’s ability to adapt to fashion is the best in the world. It was a place where 5G networks were spread all over the country and everyone was carrying a smartphone.
He said there are many rural areas in the United States where Internet lines are not properly installed because the land mass is large.
However, since there are so many, there were more potential customers than the population of Korea, excluding those who could not properly enjoy the benefits of civilization.
‘If the opportunity arrives soon, I’ll have to find a way to contact Savannah Market.’
I could talk to them through Daehan Market, or I could meet them while walking around at someone’s party. The former had interests with people related to me, so I thought it would be better to aim for a big player in the latter.
“Did Congressman Seol Gyeong-taek ask to see you at the door?”
“Do you need a reason to meet your friend?”
There was a reason for that, but I didn’t expect a reply to come already. Since you are a busy person, you will need time to adjust your schedule.
“I reserved a time for 40 minutes from 4:00 PM this Saturday. We decided to meet at a nearby cafe. I’m a busy person, so if I’m late for my appointment, I’ll go right away.”
Today is Wednesday, so there are 4 days left.
“If you have something to talk about, I think it would be better to prepare data in advance. He is a good person, but he is sensitive to cheating, so I would like you to be careful about that part.”
“thanks.”
“If you get angry and withdraw funds, you will fill it up.”
Im Hanul smiled. It wasn’t a problem to fill up the money, but I didn’t want to do the job of shaving the face of Hanwool Im.
“of course.”
‘This time, let’s aim to make only the face. The first step is to get a phone number by appealing that we have similar tastes.’
Seol Gyeong-taek’s own phone number was good, or the secretary’s phone number was also good. Because if you get anyone’s number, you’ll get a second chance.
The match was decided at that time.
‘As much as possible, Hanul is not harmed.’
After I separated Im Han-ul.
I shouldn’t have opened my hand from the beginning, and I had to talk after checking the opponent’s intentions.
“Thank you for making it right away.”
“It’s nothing compared to what you did for me and my father’s company.”
My conscience stung a little.
‘I need to take care of Taesan Group more.’
Taesan Group’s image was damaged due to Dokgo Group’s attack. I helped media play for recovery, but it was difficult to return to my initial image.
Because the image of a corrupt company was not diluted before the years passed.
‘Isn’t there something to do with something big?’
I’ll have to make an event for recovery sooner or later. However, there is no need to confess to Im Han-ul.
picked up a glass
“What is a good friend?”
“sh*t. Have a drink.”
Lim Hanul smiled and clinked the glass. He took a sip of his drink and let out a loud exclamation.
“Oh right. I watched the music video well. It came out well, right?”
“Oh. I see.”
“It’s a popular explosion in Korea these days.”
“hahahaha.”
‘Should I practice my autograph?’
It was burdensome.
***
Im Han-ul and I enjoyed a drink and returned home. Now that the schedule was set, it was time to build a plan to attack him more step by step.
When I entered the house, Benjamin Chung came out to meet me in the living room.
“Boss. How are you?”
“Thanks to you, I went well.”
There were subordinates who took care of things that I had to take care of in Korea, so I was able to go around without any burden. Thanks to that, I was able to empty my mind and play in Bali.
‘I think I’ve gotten closer with Brayden Harper.’
I wondered if Seol Kyung-taek knew Brayden Harper.
Benjamin Chung accepted my coat.
“Would you like to see and hear about the results of the investigation right away, or would you like to take a break and listen?”
You can’t make a living by going to a restaurant.
“Please report immediately.”
It was a dream from a statue
Dokgojin’s study. Now, the only visitor to the library is a single-handed glove.
Because the space for Dokgo by Dokgo’s Dokgo was only open to the people of Dokgo’s family.
In fact, Dokgo-gap himself did not attach much importance to it. He, like Kang Man-jae of Daema Group, was in the position of giving opportunities to those with ability.
‘They didn’t suit the president’s position.’
It was only because I was lucky enough to be born into the Dokgo family that I was promoted to an executive position. If they had started as regular employees, they would have been exaggerated and fired shortly after.
Of course, he thought he was the right man for the position of president. Rather than Dokgo-jin, who did not properly educate his children and also lost his reason and rushed like a moth to a fire.
Dokgo Jin opened his mouth with a heavy expression.
“What do you think of the other person?”
If he could get rid of the spirited man who once resembled a tiger, now a bit weak, the Dokgo Group would fall into the hands of the Dokgo Gap.
However, Dokgojin was still in power, so he couldn’t go against him right in front of him.
‘It’s a story about Kim Jae-gu.’
Although he decided to hold hands with Kim Jae-gu, it was only a story when he was able to catch Dok-go-jin. If you can’t do that, it’s as if Kim Jae-gu has no use value.
‘It would be difficult if we stopped fighting here.’
There was nothing sweeter than fisherman’s geography.
“It’s big, but I don’t see it as a threat to the coalition.”
7 trillion won. It was definitely a lot of money. However, considering the specs of chaebol companies belonging to the coalition, it was not such a big deal.
Besides, doesn’t Dokgojin think that something is behind them, including the Taesan Union?
‘As long as it is not revealed that it is an American alliance led by the Carver Company, it can be attached sufficiently.’
There would be damage to Dokgo Group, but it was something that Dokgo Gap could rebuild with his own hands. For that reason, I was maintaining a clean image as much as possible.
Isn’t the Dokgo family a family of absolute murderers?
I thought only the first one was half.
ㄴ First, the image among the employees is good.
ㄴThe president of Dokgo Oil Welfare System stepped forward and fixed it himself.
Isn’t welfare great there?
B really good.
The more the two younger siblings undermined Dokgo Group’s image, the more his image, which had been quiet, improved. He would just have to do his thing and wait for everything to be sorted out.
‘Jaegu Kim should do a good job.’
It was his job to secure as much information as possible so that he could move properly. No matter how much the company wants to have it, it is not possible to point a gun directly at the father’s head.
‘If there’s someone to point the gun at, I’ll use it.’
Dokgo Jin met his eyes.
“Even if it is not a danger to the Union, it can be a threat to Dokgo.”
“Didn’t you say that the members of the coalition were on the same boat?”
“Only on the surface.”
Dokgojin clicked his tongue. Entrepreneurs were those who talked as if they were between a dead and poor life when things were going well, but suddenly changed as if flipping their palms when the situation changed.
He also went through a lot of ups and downs in his youth, so he knew that for sure.
And recently, something unusual has been detected in the coalition. It was a story I had heard hinted at through Kang Man-jae, but I couldn’t erase the feeling that I was almost excluded from the minority group.
When Dokgo-gap smiled leisurely, Dokgo-jin frowned.
‘As expected, he must not understand my story because he is young.’
Dokgo-gap pretended to cut his throat with his index finger.
“I don’t know if it’s someone else, but I won’t be able to abandon my father. Even if I die, I’ll die with him. I won’t die alone, will I?”
“What do you mean?”
“You have their weaknesses, how dare you throw them away?”
Dokgojin’s spine felt chilly. It was true that he cleaned up some of the coalition members including Yu San, but it wasn’t because they had no power.
It was because I was in a position where I didn’t have to get blood on my hands.
“Gap. I’m saying this because you don’t know.”
If you touch an opponent, it doesn’t end with hurting yourself. Bad things will happen ‘accidentally’ to the family as well as to the surroundings.
And the kingdom of Dokgo he thought would go down in history as a chaebol that collapsed in the shortest period of time. Also on your own.
Even when I got older, I wanted to hold on to power and shout loudly and live. To do so, the throne had to be inherited through lineage.
Authentic modern nobility. That was what Dokgo-jin thought of as a chaebol.
So I couldn’t just touch them and cut off their pulse. Even if he dies, if he dies alone, he will be left behind to help him recover.
Then one day you will be able to reclaim your throne.
Of course, Dokgo Gap had no intention of doing that at all.
The statue was a dream.
“Your father is a tiger. So don’t be swayed by them and act confidently.”
“That’s because you don’t know them.”
“Then I will go and say something.”
“What are you going to say?”
Dokgojin hit the desk and stood up. I didn’t want to hear any more of the kid’s bullsh*t.
His angry eyes turned to the poison box.
“I don’t know how scary the one-day puppy is…”
It was not only the union that pushed Mt. Yuyu. He was in a position to roll a lot of capital even before they formed the alliance.
Those in the dark deeper than the Dokgo group could have been supporting Mt. Lee.
Dokgo-gap looked at his father with that expressionless face. Dokgo-jin read the determined will in his eyes.
“The children of tigers are also tigers. If my father does not agree, I will go and negotiate with them.”
‘If you don’t move like this, you’re an old man in the back room with missing teeth.’
Seeing his son say such a thing with a face similar to his own, a small fire was kindled in Dokgo-jin’s cold heart.
‘okay. Who am I? Why does Dokgo-jin have to keep an eye on them?’
As the possessions increased, the passion and aggression of youth turned into cautiousness.
The self who had been aggressively progressing through the project disappeared, leaving only an old man who was anxious to protect what he had.
‘Dokgo-jin is not that kind of man.’
A man who even pointed a knife at his brothers’ backs for his own ends. When I first entered the coalition, I was determined to eat the head.
It couldn’t collapse here.
Dokgojin straightened his chest and sat down.
“What are you going to do? I’ll tell you myself.”
Dokgo-jin’s eyes were alive. It seemed that the passion of youth had returned.
‘If we decided to unite, we should die together even if we die, and live together even if we live.’
There was no need to worry about Kim Jae-gu’s problem alone. Their opponents are heavyweights including the Taesan Group.
‘Perhaps he was aiming for Mt. Yuyu.’
Yusan Lee, who noticed this, ordered Hwang Yongnam to investigate. I needed to check if it was working properly because it didn’t show results.
A direction was drawn in my head. This was not a rebellion, but Dokgo-jin’s own plan to save the union.
He clenched his fists.
“Are you all right?”
Dokgo-gap asked with a polite expressionless face.
“What are you going to do if you haven’t even officially greeted me yet?”
“Now you’re like a father.”
The corner of his mouth went up very faintly.
‘I must have been moved by his father’s appearance.’
‘Even if I die soon, taking care of my pride won’t change.’
The statue was a dream.
***
I received a report from Benjamin Chung about information about Yeonhap and Seol Gyeong-taek. Since I had been in the US for quite some time, I had quite a bit of information.
‘As expected, there is a limit to receiving reports by wire.’
Seeing the person in person and receiving the report, the information stuck in my head.
“Out of the 15 chaebol groups included in the coalition, as many as 4 of them started out as construction company thugs.”
Due to the nature of the construction industry with many stakeholders, service gangsters were popular. They threatened the residents to secure a good site, and they forcibly dragged out and demolished those who did not go out.
Now, it seemed to have almost disappeared as large construction companies settled down, but will you change your habit?
It was clear that those who started businesses using violence would not hesitate to use it to get the easy way.
Dokgo Group had been working that way for a long time, so there was no hesitation in killing people.
‘It would be correct to assume that at least these 4 groups have a separate treatment team like the Dokgo group.’
Eunsung Group was not included there.
Sung Yo-han gave a hint to attract Seol Kyung-taek, and then lost contact. It was clear that he would not contact me until I secured Seol Gyeong-taek.
“Did the number of guards increase?”
“Yes. It’s been added a little, but not enough to bother you. The surveillance range is the same as before. If you care, we’ll let you know in the surveillance area.”
Seo Kang-jae replied. It was because security in Korea was left to him.
“Yes. Please tell me.”
In a situation where someone is watching you, you need to be careful about your actions.
Again Benjamin’s report followed.
“Currently, the recruitment of Sung Yo-han is on hold. So, I chose the second candidate.”
