I heard from Lim Han-ul that Kim Jae-gu inherited his grandfather’s hidden legacy. However, according to Seol Gyeong-taek’s investigation, such a thing did not exist.
‘How did a penniless man become a tycoon who rolls in units of 10 billion?’
It was nonsense if you didn’t know that there was a stock cheat. He re-read Kim Jae-goo’s history over and over again.
‘The first time I went to America, I rode economy class, and from the time I came back, it was business class. It’s only been a day, but maybe something happened in America.’
There was only one corner that could be questioned in the line of common sense. Seol Gyeong-taek frowned and glared at Kim Jae-gu’s first business trip.
‘Did I win the Powerball lottery?’
I couldn’t explain it otherwise. Seol Gyeong-taek’s conclusion leaned toward Kim Jae-goo being an instant rich man who had won the Powerball lottery.
‘Because in New Jersey, next to New York, anonymous receipt of winnings is possible. Two weeks before he went to America, the winner came from New Jersey.’
The winning amount at the time was $380 million. Even after taxes, it was close to $240 million.
‘Then, since I received money close to 300 billion, the current situation is explained.’
If there was a large amount of 300 billion won, it was clear that various financial managers would approach him first. If you entrusted the money to them, the interest would continue to rise, so it was possible to spend extravagantly while maintaining the principal.
‘If you’re a Powerball winner, you must be a very good guy.’
There was a saying called Unchilgisam.
It was a story that no matter how hard you try, it is hard to win those who are lucky. So, to survive in the startup world, it was a must to be lucky.
There were many talented people, but not a handful of successful people.
Seol Kyung-taek stroked his chin.
‘I didn’t see him doing anything bad. But can I say that I have fully grasped him in such a short period of time?’
Maintaining numerous bodyguards was also explained if it was to protect the Powerball lottery winnings. But it didn’t make sense to send my family to America and spend a lot of time there.
‘Then I don’t know what he’s thinking about wanting to invest in Korea.’
But that was no reason to refuse cooperation. Besides, if you have a personality that is easy to be swayed by someone, it could have been better for Seol Gyeong-taek to organize the people around you.
‘He wasn’t a bad person, so I’ll have to meet him one more time.’
Last time, I didn’t say anything negative because Im Han-ul, whom I support, was with me. It was because he only wanted to show his good side in front of the people he liked.
Even if it was image management, it didn’t matter.
‘Because I don’t have to make a decision this time.’
Even after receiving an investment of 30 billion won, the alliance could be destroyed at any time if evidence was found that he had done something dishonest. But if he was really just a lucky guy, if he missed this opportunity, he might never have a chance to see him again.
Seol Kyung-taek’s cell phone alarm started ringing.
[3:30]
He took care of the organized data about Kim Jae-gu and put it in his bag. Because no one likes people digging up their information.
‘Last time I came at 3:40, so I’ll be back soon.’
Beok beok beok beok beok.
I heard several footsteps.
‘Did you come?’
Seol Kyung-taek tidied up his clothes once more. I heard the voice of the owner of Dowon Dawon.
“Congressman Seol came first and has been waiting for you.”
“Thank you for the guidance.”
After Jaegu Kim’s answer, the owner knocked on the door twice.
“May I come in?”
“Come on in.”
“Excuse me.”
drooling. With the sound of the door opening, a tall Kim Jae-gu appeared behind the owner of Dowon Dawon.

Rep. Seol Gyeong-taek was, without a doubt, a busy man. Judging from what he has done so far, the schedule was so tight that it was difficult to make an appointment with me.
‘I thought he was a very busy person.’
Because I came last in my last appointment, I came to Dowon Dawon 10 minutes earlier. However, looking at Seol Kyung-taek’s well-groomed appearance, it seemed that he had already been sitting there for 10 minutes.
‘Is it surprisingly free?’
but. There was no way a really leisurely person could make an appointment at the ambiguous hour of 4:00 on a Saturday. Aren’t there many better times, such as lunchtime or dinnertime?
“It’s been a while. Senator.”
“Yes. President Kim. Long time no see.”
I shook hands with Seol Gyeong-taek lightly and sat across from him. He smiled and held out the menu.
“Please order first.”
“I’ll take fermented black tea.”
When I drank it, I drank it without much thought, but the strange scent that remained at the end was addictive. Besides, Seol Kyung-taek also drank fermented black tea, so he could appeal by saying that they have similar tastes.
“I’ll make fermented black tea, too.”
After placing the order, the black tea set was placed in front of me in less than 5 minutes. Previously, small rice cakes of various colors were served together, but today, yanggaeng and seolgi are served.
‘The refreshments change.’
It seemed to be operated so that frequent visitors would not get tired of it.
Seol Kyung-taek smelled the scent of fermented black tea.
“Um. I missed this scent. How have you been for the week?”
“I went out because I had something to do in the US.”
He would have known because he was under surveillance anyway, but seeing that he didn’t bother to ask, he didn’t seem to have any intention of confessing. After I went to the United States, the surveillance disappeared, so it was clear that I was curious about my activities abroad.
“Have you been on a business trip?”
“I went on a treasure hunt. It was fun.”
“Ahh.”
He nodded, but didn’t feel the sincerity. Who would believe me if I told you that I found a treasure ship while visiting the United States for a while?
“How are you, Senator?”
“Next year is the general election, so I am very busy.”
“Are you planning to serve as the head of the election committee?”
“No. No.”
Seol Kyung-taek smiled and evaded it.
“Rather than that, is the 30 billion investment you mentioned last time still valid?”
“Ah. That’s what I’m thinking about now.”
“Are there any problems?”
“It should be built in a place where young people can easily access, so there will be a synergistic effect. It is difficult to find land in such a place.”
If I invested all by myself, there was no risk to Seol Kyung-taek. This was a problem that the two had to work together.
“How about Mapo-gu?”
Now you’re revealing your claws.
“You mean Mapo-gu?”
“Yes. There is very good land in the Mapo-eul area.”
“Isn’t Mapo-gu the district of Congressman Yu-san Lee?”
“hahahahaha. Water will rot if it stays for a long time.”
It was no different from a declaration that he would push away Mt. It seemed like he was aiming for a presidential candidate anyway, so he didn’t seem to want to run.
“But you’ve already done 4 lines there, shall we hand over the area?”
“Lee Yoo-san is highly likely to appear in the presidential election this time.”
It was a publicly known fact.
“You mean you want to rob an empty house.”
“It’s not easy to rob an empty house. You have to make a promise to make a good performance.”
“Is that the Youth Entrepreneurship Support Center?”
“It’s not just that. We have more planned.”
“Aren’t you overdoing it?”
“Sometimes you have to overdo it.”
he laughed out loud
Lee Yoo-san served four consecutive terms at Mapo-gu Eul. It is a large area including Hongdae and Yeonnam-dong, and it is also close to Yonsei University and Ewha Womans University.
It was expected that the preference of young people would be high because transportation is convenient and many young people gather there.
‘Mapo-gu is good.’
I thought it wouldn’t be a business to throw money on the street. It seemed like I could understand why Seol Gyeong-taek was putting his efforts into Mapo-gu.
‘It must be the intention to catch the corruption of this heritage.’
When the regime changes, the judgment of the previous regime begins. Mapo-gu Eul had no chance to hit the mace for what he had done because Yu-san Lee had been in power four times.
If we recaptured the area this time and took the documents, wouldn’t even a speck of dust come out?
Even if it wasn’t dust, it would have been possible to identify people related to Yusan Mountain and expand the scope of the investigation.
That approach wasn’t bad.
‘The location is good.’
My mouth was itchy, so I took a sip of black tea.
“President Kim. Will you help us for the future of Korea?”
Seol Gyeong-taek threw a stone fastball and held out his hand.
‘For now, it can be said that I passed the first verification.’
You already know that I donated a large amount to the Hanmaeum Orphanage. My every move during the past week must have been reported to Seol Gyeong-taek.
‘Of course, I also studied hard on my side.’
Seol Kyung-taek was not the only one who followed. Even if I didn’t say anything, Benjamin Chung took care of it.
Seol Gyeong-taek met many people to prepare for the general election. And it was confirmed that there was no member of the Yusan Union among them.
It was a meeting that I attended to get on a boat from the beginning.
took his hand
“I’ll add my little strength.”
“It’s a weak force. You’re humble.”
he smiled brightly.
***
I joined hands with Candidate Gyeong-taek Seol, but he has not completely become my person yet. If it was the relationship with Yusan Candidate Alliance, I had more to do with it.
After a friendly meeting with Seol Kyung-taek, a message arrived from Dokgo-gap on the way back home.
{I think you need to lend me your strength.}
He was not the kind of person to talk about nonsense.
‘What’s going on?’
Would you rather remove it?
After successfully forming an alliance with Seol Gyeong-taek and coming out in a good mood, a message arrived from Dokgo-gap.
‘Suddenly asking for help.’
He was not one to ask for help for no reason, but he was also not one to complain about an easy task.
I decided to listen to the circumstances.
{Is there a problem?}
{There seems to be a conflict within the union.}
It was a welcome thing from my point of view. I haven’t even planted a spy in the alliance yet, but there was no need to plant a spy if there were already signs of disintegration.
‘Did Dokgo Jin do something?’
The fact that Dokgo-gap contacted him was most likely related to Dokgojin. I thought he was thinking of abandoning his father, but he might be surprisingly filial.
{What can I do to help with internal conflict?}
{Wouldn’t it be a fight only when the body is right?}
It sounded like a request to push the Dokgo Group.
{Are you saying to push one-sidedly?}
‘I’m not someone who doesn’t know the relationship between me and Dokgo-jeong.’
Even if you think about it, it must have been a request without conscience.
{It will also help the boss.}
{You mean it helps me?}
{If you have to knock it down anyway, it’s better to hit as many times as possible this time. Who will fight for you later?}
ah. Was it such a story?
He didn’t mean to save Dokgo-jin, but to bring down the others under the pretext of conflict.
‘I thought the character changed, but it didn’t.’
If you plan on defeating your father and eating the entire Dokgo group, you should come out like this. He almost ended the alliance, thinking that he had pity for Dokgo-jin.
‘Still, I can’t do it bare-mouthed.’
{great. I’ll give you strength. Instead, there is one condition.}
{What is?}
{Can you change the mission once you get the group?}
The name Dokgo. I didn’t like the look.
At the same time, I wondered to what extent Dokgo Gap’s determination was. It was clear that Dokgojin would almost 100% oppose the name change. Changing the name meant siding with Dokgo-jin.
{If I come to power, I will.}
A reply came right away.
{But it may not be as easy as you think. I think the speed will go faster if the boss gives you strength.}
Are you asking for strength at the shareholders’ meeting?
‘Now I’m going to sell my stock.’
I laughed because it was absurd. But I liked the idea of changing the name.
good night. They decided to join forces only after defeating Mt. Yu anyway. In order to help, it was first to grasp the current situation.
{Let me explain the situation in detail.}
{yes. Currently, Mt. Lee is…}
The explanation of Dokgo Gap began.
***
last night.
Dokgo-jin took the documents and went to Yu-san. Lee Yu-san pretended that she had no time because she was busy with the general election, but she made an appointment with her determination.
‘This is the last chance we give him.’
I had just gotten off the plane to Switzerland, so my socks were stiff, but my heart was light. The source of data that caught the weakness of the people belonging to the coalition was left in the Swiss bank, and since it was a copy in hand, there was no loss even if it was lost.
You might think that you went all the way to Switzerland just because of that, but it was a situation where you don’t know who’s breath will reach the domestic bank.
Dokgojin quickly gnashed his teeth.
‘That damned inspiration. Are you trying to piss me off?’
