‘Because Heebo Heavy Industries’ technology is superior to Hwangryong Heavy Industries…’
If possible, I wanted to pick out a good ship.
Although he did not openly oppose Lee Yu-san, the plan to win Seong-min Han and increase the number of seats for Seol Gyeong-taek faction was proceeding step by step.
{yes. It’s smooth. If there is no variable, I think I can finish without much problem.}
The message suddenly cut off.
‘Are you worried?’
It was clear that they had been dragging their time in order to negotiate in a slightly more favorable situation. But during that time, things changed for me too.
‘I don’t need to rush anymore.’
I was just living my life to the best of my ability. There was also a need to do something for the daughter, whom the father would consider unemployed.
One day, I wanted to become an economic mogul whose face was featured in Forbes. If that day comes, it was clear that Ha-yeon would be proud of her father.
I remembered the message I had given him.
[Aren’t you feeling skeptical about belonging to the Lee Heritage Alliance? If you have any regrets, how about joining hands with us?]
It was a note sent by Seol Gyeong-taek, who was the opposite formation. Now he held hands with Seol Gyeong-taek, but at that time he was not familiar with Seol Gyeong-taek.
‘ruler. Who are you going to hang out with? Don’t just look here and there, and decide the route clearly.’
Shin Hee-seok’s message has arrived.
{I contacted you once at the end of last year, but you did not answer because you were busy.}
I saw a shallow number trying to shift the blame to me. So I couldn’t accept it.
{I thought you would get back to me if it was absolutely necessary.}
{Can I bother a busy person?}
{There are still seats left. However, since you contacted us late, you may need to show some trust to join us.}
It took nearly a year to build a single ship, from requesting ship production to departure.
At least this was the story of an ordinary cargo ship. For special ships or submarines, it took much longer.
{How should I show you?}
{I’m trying to build a few ships, but it took longer than expected. can you pull?}
{It’s difficult right now because there are a lot of requests coming in. But I’ll try to pull it as far as I can.}
{How much can you pull?}
{Which ship is it?}
{This is a regular trade ship.}
{I’d like to explain the detailed schedule to the president. When is a good time?}
I don’t know what kind of guts you are
When I brought up the story of wanting to build a trade ship, Shin Hee-seok took the bait and was dragged away.
‘Looks like you’re thinking of holding hands.’
However, he had been a person of Mt. Yu for a long time. So it was difficult to get my hands on it right away.
‘It won’t be too late to check the reliability first, and then think about it.’
I thought deeply about what the Union of Mt. Yu thinks of me. They thought I was someone’s ponytail.
‘The opponent thinks I’m not the main body. Dokgo-gap and Yonhap believe that the Carver Group and the Taesan Group move with the instigation of others.’
If so, the story was fast.
‘I’ll have to meet Shin Hee-seok as an agent.’
After all, my face was known to them all.
From nob le mt l dot com
Jaegu Kim. A man who puts a poisoned fixer in prison. A man with a bank account balance of 7 trillion won.
Officially, he must have known that he had a bad relationship with Dokgo Group.
‘Even though I made a temporary alliance with Dokgo-gap.’
I told him to change the name of the Dokgo Group, but I don’t know if it will really change. Because Dokgo Jin went to prison, our relationship would have ended.
‘It’s rather inconvenient if I get another call.’
If you approached me because you wanted something, it would be even more painful. My head hurts just from Yusan, but if Han Jung-taek’s line, Dokgogap, would come running to me…
‘Still, it would be nice to get to know Jung Min-jae.’
He was the second son of Jung Jae-il, chairman of JJ Telecom, and the man currently being pointed out as his successor. Getting your hands on a telecommunications company was like getting your hands on tons of call data.
The reason I couldn’t use JJ Telecom was because the Yusan Union had JJ Telecom.
‘Should I think about this later?’
First of all, Shin Hee-seok, who ran right in front of him, had to cook. 4 trillion won in funds from the best property. I wanted to turn it into a great logistics company.
I sent a reply to Shin Hee-seok.
{tomorrow afternoon. See you at Gangnam Hanseonggak. Time and place will be notified separately.}
{I’ll be waiting.}
There was no hemisphere. I understood that he wanted to hold my hand.
‘Because I can tell what kind of person he is just by looking at his face.’
It was really reassuring to at least be able to weed out the cheaters.

After contacting Kim Jae-gu, Shin Hee-seok put his phone on the table.
‘Is this really right?’
Representative Lee Yoo-san wanted to attract Kim Jae-gu to his side. To be precise, he was trying to attract the forces behind him, not Kim Jae-gu.
However, Kim Jae-gu was reluctant to meet Lee Yoo-san. Now, with only about three months left until the election, each and every one of the sponsors felt sorry for them.
It was the same with Shin Hee-seok.
‘Suddenly withdrawing the ship order. Still, quality is important, but this is how it should be…’
In the New Year, Chinese competitors began to receive orders under unconventional conditions. As if trying to make up for last year’s sluggishness, they worked hard on marketing while walking until the end of the warranty period.
Thanks to Heebo Heavy Industries’ quality being so famous around the world, most of the clients were not shaken, but some of them were shaken.
Being able to build a ship of a similar level at a 20% lower price even after paying the penalty was a great advantage.
‘Cheap is expensive, so why don’t I know that?’
Even though they look the same, the inside is different. A proper boat came out only when a person with experience in the shipbuilding industry welded sturdy materials he bought at his own price.
You could have hired cheap manpower, but can you trust and use something made by such a person?
‘I don’t know what kind of guts it is.’
Is it because executives don’t ride directly? Or do they think that their stomachs should rise well while they receive their salary?
Some of the 20% they save may be paid to them as an incentive.
It was a detriment to companies that conducted executive personnel appointments in the short term, but most companies treated executives that way. So, although the role of the royal family was important, companies that had just taken over were often unable to properly manage their executives.
‘The timing was just right. If I pull it as soon as possible, I can get the order within this year.’
It was strange to sit still and think about it.
How many contracts flew just in time for Kim Jae-gu to need a ship? Moreover, they were foreign companies that had nothing to do with Kim Jae-gu.
‘Maybe I’m lucky.’
It was exquisite timing.
But it also needed that kind of timing for something to happen. There are people who work hard because of a natural disaster even if they prepare hard for years, and there were people who helped the world without much preparation.
So far, Mt. Yu has been the latter.
Born into a family of politicians, he naturally inherited the local district, and opponents who opposed him had a corner.
Thanks to this, he was able to easily become a member of the National Assembly for a fourth term, and the number of people who followed him also increased. I became the party representative smoothly, and now I was in a situation where I was stepping down from the party representative position to prepare for the presidential election.
‘I decided not to run for office this year.’
The person running for Mapo-eul this time was Ryu Kwang-min, a junior member of the National Assembly, whom Lee Yu-san usually supported. He was a second-rounder in Namyangju, and he was looking for an opportunity to enter Seoul.
The person who happened to be a competitor was a person who was involved in corruption in his child’s college entrance. Members of the coalition are currently on the move to gather information about it.
A competitor named Seol Kyung-taek appeared, but he was now a first-class newbie. If you dig well with Lee Yoo-san, who has been verified while running for the National Assembly four times, there may be a composition that can be crossed.
‘First of all, when an elder is interested in Kim Jae-gu, he joins hands with him.’
If he caught it right away, he could have joined hands with Kim Jae-goo without betraying Yu-san.
When the Taesan Group was attacked by the Dokgo Group, he asked for a request and saved the Taesan Group again. I didn’t think it was an individual thing.
Shin Hee-seok made a decision.
‘Hold hands with Jaegu Kim. I don’t know who’s behind him, but it’s probably not a normal group.’
We decided to do our best to adjust the terms of the request.
***
The meeting with Shin Hee-seok ended easily. He agreed to complete and deliver the ship within this year, and set the price to the maximum.
It was 5% lower than the price I knew, so I was satisfied enough.
“I was impressed with the president’s positive attitude.”
“Isn’t it said that you have to hold the line well to last a long time?
Shin Hee-seok’s reliability was 76%. He wasn’t quite enough to be called mine, but he wasn’t here to trick me.
If you join hands with Heebo Heavy Industries, there is no need to work hard on Hwangryong Heavy Industries. I hadn’t invested a lot of money in it yet, so I decided to bury it.
‘The Chinese ship manufacturers are carrying out aggressive marketing and pulling the volume, but judging from the previous situation, an accident will happen sooner or later.’
If there is an accident, Huanglong Heavy Industries’ share price will rise. Since there were a lot of seeds anyway, there was no such thing as investing all of them recently.
Because it was too much money for that.
I shook hands with Shin Hee-seok lightly.
“I hope to become a good partner in the future.”
“I hope that the best product will go on a winning streak and put in more requests.”
“Thank you for including the options.”
“Nothing to say. Export restrictions must be lifted for Korea’s shipbuilding industry to develop in the future. Right now, taxes are high, so it’s hard to straighten your shoulders.”
This must be the reason why he is attached to Yusan. This was the reason why I highly valued Heebo Heavy Industries, not Hwangryong Heavy Industries.
‘Hwangryong Heavy Industries wants to organize its high-quality manpower and go overseas for its own benefit, but I heard that Heebo Heavy Industries treats its craftsmen well.’
Would it be possible to compromise on the cost of making a means of transport where people’s lives depend? It would be nice to make it cheaply, but if you cut costs where it is absolutely necessary, the company collapsed in an instant.
I was thinking of investing in Hwangryong Heavy Industries to change that practice and grow it, but since I joined hands with Heebo Heavy Industries, there was no need to do that anymore.
‘I don’t have to do everything myself.’
What I had to focus on was resource investment and real estate development. It was clear that he would not be able to catch two rabbits if he continued to do other things with octopus feet.
Once it was built, I thought to introduce a good person to the people around me and leave it to management.
‘It’s best to leave things to the experts.’
And he should have learned his senses while receiving reports from them. Choi Ji-hoon has been asked to study HR, a corporation that manages people, so he will be able to sit as the representative when the sortie of the best product is confirmed.
Chairman Shin Hee-seok cried about his current situation. The main point was that competition was difficult because of other countries’ taxes.
It was a situation opposite to Mt. Lee, who puts up the slogan of Shintoburi.
“Then, isn’t it necessary to have a policy that is opposite to that of Congressman Lee Yu-san?”
“I don’t have anything to say if I say that. Isn’t the domestic market important too? If the country survives, shouldn’t we live too?”
he chuckled.
“Are you thinking of changing camps?”
There was a high probability that they would have marked me as a person related to Seol Kyung-taek anyway. When Elisa arrived in Korea, it was easy to know that she was visiting me because she didn’t sneak around.
It shouldn’t have been difficult to find out that the pear farm was also related to the Carver Group.
‘I’m not intentionally hiding the fact that I’m investing overseas under the name of J&H Co., Ltd.’
Fortunately, no one knew about it and approached it. Even the money I had in Korea was money that ordinary people could not earn even if they worked all their lives.
If I had anything to do with foreign capital, I could be directly connected to the speculation that I would have been on the same boat with Rep. Seol Gyeong-taek, who insisted on market opening.
“Compared to the elders, Congressman Seol Gyeong-taek has a very weak foundation. How about taking a step to a more reliable place?”
I can understand why Shin Hee-seok is with Lee Yoo-san.
‘He’s trying to look bold, but he’s more timid than he looks.’
Rather, it seemed that the story would not leak out thanks to that. His offer was too good to refuse.
‘Let’s make the boat at Heebo Heavy Industries.’
Rather than the uncertain Hwangryong Heavy Industries, I thought it would be better to make it at a place that has good quality and matches the unit price.
Still, I hated being attached to Yusan.
“When the moon is full, it wanes. Why don’t you think about the future, Chairman Shin?”
In an instant, Shin Heechul’s expression hardened.
But then he burst out laughing and raised his glass.
“That’s a difficult problem. Today is a happy day that the contract was concluded, so let’s have a drink.”
“great.”
‘It’s fine if we talk slowly.’
We clinked glasses and laughed.

Yusan Lee was busy attending New Year’s events.
In the new year, several organizations held events at the same time, so it was enough to show him where he wanted even two bodies.
‘This year is the year of the general election, so I can’t refuse the request.’
In order to maintain the image of a man who loves Korea, he had to be kind to everyone. It was up to the bodyguards to stop the approaching people, and it was up to Mt. Yu to defeat them and meet the common people.
After each event, people flocked to him like clouds.
“Oops. Senator. Please shake my hand just once.”
“Sir. Please take one picture with me.”
“It’s dangerous if you come all at once. If you stand in one line, we’ll do it one after another.”
After communicating with the citizens with a friendly smile, the news the next day [Rep. Lee Yu-san who visited a civic group. ‘We will create a world without discrimination’].
‘It is only natural that the starting line is different and the investment effort is different, but the result is different. Those who don’t live hard but only raise their voices asking for help…’
He was good at hiding his inner feelings.
In order to win the general election and, furthermore, to win the presidential election, he had to never reveal his true feelings. If they did, their main supporters, the common people, would turn their backs on them.
“Sir. You need to move to the next venue.”
“Has it already been that time?”
“You need to move right now.”
“I can’t say anything about what the man said.”
“Then let’s go all at once. If those who want to take pictures come forward, I’ll take them all at once.”
“I hope you understand that I don’t have time, Senator.”
Yusan Lee took a picture with the crowd of people at once and then moved to the vehicle. The bodyguards removed the citizens who followed, and Lee Yu-san was dragged out pretending to be defeated.
Lee Yu-san waved to the citizens who followed him to the car.
As the car drove off, he opened the window and smiled coyly.
“You’re a little late this time.”
“sorry.”
“Let’s hang up sooner than later.”
“All right.”
