442: Fly back and see (1)
“Once it happened, it happened.”
“So, is this what you said to Maxwell on purpose to move me?”
“yes! Mr President.”
Deputy Director Chris Chris’ calm remark made Crump laugh. Deputy Director Chris, who was well aware of his and Maxwell’s tendencies, played like fools.
One deputy CIA director dared to defraud the president and the CIA director, so he had to be prepared. However, it was impossible to punish the old man, who was already considering his retirement, using his seat as an excuse.
“phew! So what is the conclusion?”
“I want you to quietly close this case and focus on re-election.”
“Have all the political keys been handed over to the author over there?”
Crump said, pointing at Cheolwoo with the tip of his chin. If left alone, even if he was re-elected, he would continue to carry political risks until the end of his term.
“You seem to be getting it wrong. From the beginning, the initiative was in my hands. You have no choice but to accept my offer or not.”
“huh! No matter how crazy I am about business interests, it doesn’t mean I’m taking the presidency of the United States lightly. I can’t easily hand over the power that would make the world go to hell if I’m wrong, just for the sake of my own safety!”
Surprisingly, Crump uttered out a very common sense. Of course, there was not a single person among them who literally believed the words that came out of his mouth.
“Why did the yangban, who were trying to protect the public good, act like that until now?”
“It’s like that…”
“Would you like me to list all the things you did in the meantime?”
“Hurry! Let’s continue our business story. Of course, as long as it does not harm public order.”
Again, it was like a person who had mastered the loach new work. When a topic came up that was even a little unfavorable, it shifted the topic like a ghost.
“Do I need to talk again with a sore mouth? I just need you to give me the Nord Stream negotiating power.”
“Then you will have the right to negotiate with the Jewish capital. Is this?”
“Well, you know, why do you keep asking me?”
“Do you know how much money that one bargaining power cost? This is not an issue that will end just because I am losing money on my own.”
“The damage is a bummer. Where does the math come from to say that the loss of an estimate of what you might eat in the future is reduced?”
“If you don’t know that, you don’t deserve to be a chaebol. When can I become rich by calculating like everyone else? Isn’t it?”
It wasn’t wrong. But the face that spoke so proudly looked like a target calling for a fist.
“ruler! So let’s make a definite conclusion. Are you going to run for president one more time, or are you going to quit and fight the others over the Baltic gas pipeline?”
“…there must be a counter-reward, right? If that’s the case, I’m going to give in this time.”
Crump bluffed even as he stood on the edge of the brink. Seeing this, Deputy Director Chris and Director Maxwell shook their heads.
“What are you going to do? We will negotiate with a certain stake in Nord Stream.”
“how much? I need at least half to be able to stand up for myself.”
“Don’t say anything stupid. Both sides will take care of the stake issue after my negotiations are over.”
Chul-woo cut off Crump’s tactics to make the most of the profit. It was like throwing a thorny problem to each other to solve it.
Perhaps he wanted him to say that to him, so Crump brightened his eyes and strengthened his resolve. He was outspokenly willing to do everything in his power to negotiate with Jewish capital.
“How is Turner?”
“I will never see you again. What’s wrong?”
“no! It’s because I feel so refreshed to think that I’ll never see that person again. Shout out!”
He had a remorseful expression, like the person Crump was sick with missing a tooth. Considering the troublesome and rotten work of Samchipack and Turner in the meantime, I wanted to find a corpse and make a mop.
“When work is done, take Linda and visit the White House. Because I want to see that child’s face too.”
“After work, I will fly to Korea right away. Let’s make a promise to meet later.”
“okay? I’m sorry. Then let me visit Korea once after the election. haha!”
In the face of Cheol-woo, who overtly reveals his repulsion, Krump shackled his relationship with her until the end. Whether the evaluation of the character Cheol-woo has increased through this negotiation, she tried to continue her friendship while maintaining her low-key attitude to the point of being submissive.
“Is that so? Anyway, I’m busy, so I’ll end the conversation at this point.”
“Wow! What else is going on?”
“I have to negotiate with the Democratic Party next to you…”
“… straight away?”
Crump couldn’t hide his surprised expression even with his unique nudge. He looked as if he had been stabbed in the face and was surprised by the negotiation that took place like roasting beans.
He, too, had negotiated several times with the Democratic Party, specifically with Jewish capital. Whenever that happens, the talented people who act as his think tanks have to stay up all night to predict what hand the opponent will come up with.
However, this guy in front of me made an appointment without any preparation as if he was doing a used trade. No matter how weak he is on both sides, he has a relaxed expression like this, even though he is not the one to meet…
“At least you should have a Christmas dinner with your loved one. So, you have to get rid of it. Huh!”
“I ask again, do you know how much money is specifically at stake in this case?”
“For one Nord Stream line, Ukraine loses $3 billion in transit fees per year. It’s a business that can earn that much just by paying for a single pipeline pass.”
“Knowing that, negotiating on a regular basis?”
“No matter how I negotiate, that is my heart. Why did you suddenly change your mind?”
Crump’s face didn’t really matter because he was already crumpled. However, he could not lose interest in the negotiation.
‘shit! But it is undeniable that all the keys are already in his hands. Elections and gas business are all…’
If he negotiates with Jewish capital over the Nord Stream, the Democrats will naturally give up on this election. As long as you keep the presidency, there will be another source of food.
‘After the election, I will have to go to Japan after passing through Korea. You have to eat whatever you’ve taken at the most. Huh!’
Thinking of Japan in his mind, Crump calmed his discomfort. As with all American politicians, when there was something missing, it was always order to squeeze Japan.
“ah! one more. I’ll give Japan a try before the end of the year. So you know.”
“What? No, why Japan…”
“There is a small (?) company where I work, and the president of that company was kidnapped in Russia this time.”
“…I think Japan…”
“The far-right kids over there bought it. Huh!”
“These crazy people…”
Crump was overly angry. The expression on his face was that he did not understand why the Japanese far-right children were anxious to inflict further damage by committing useless things.
‘Let’s say I have less to eat! Because of these bad guys… shit!’
“therefore···. What are you going to do?”
If you get angry, you can solve it later, and what you urgently need now is information about what Cheol-woo will do. Knowing that, you will be able to use your hands in advance or not.
“You can talk to Richard over there for the rest of the conversation. From now on, he will be my agent.”
Cheol-woo nodded and pointed to Richard, who was standing behind him. He stood behind Cheol-woo from time to time and listened to this negotiation.
Richard, who was called by Chul-woo, shook his head once at Crump. It seemed like an unspoken demonstration that they would not see Crump as more than a negotiator.
‘shit! The scumbag went into the arms of a tiger. I’ll have to wake up in the future.’
Crump clicked inwardly and looked at Maxwell. This stupid guy was a far cry from Richard.
“I will negotiate with the Jewish capitalists in a little while.”
“Isn’t it a threat, not a negotiation? Whoops!”
Cheol-woo talked to McKay and informed him of the current situation. While he was leading the negotiations, McKay was diligently sweeping the financial markets, sweeping the money.
“Did you also raise an heir?”
“Rather than a successor, I have a team that can do my job. I don’t have the right person to entrust my job to… But why?”
“Like you said, this time, we are going to fill the two vacant positions by intimidating the Jewish capitalists. I think you and Steve can cook enough of them. What do you think?”
Even Mackay of the world was surprised by the words and could not speak for a while. If it was Samchpack and Turner’s place, he was the yolk who could control Jewish capital.
In addition, as a bonus, he was able to control the FRB at will. Of course, he must have the ability to deal with others in a similar position, but McKay, who is called a financial genius, and Steve, the godfather of the casino, had the same strength and experience as them.
“Do I have to act on my own?”
“If you wish, you can use Richard Burns, who was Samchpack’s secretary, as your agent. He’s going to use Richard to deal with the political bastards for now, but seeing how he goes, he doesn’t seem to need much use.”
“If my bastards had brains, they would soon know who holds the core power. Even with just one scandal covered this time, the entire American political world will be blown away…”
“Actually, there are quite a few secrets that Turner divulged before he died. I thought he was thinking about the aftermath, so he robbed all the dirty places of the people involved. Huh!”
“Fuhhh! Please leave it to me to deal with Jewish capital. I will rob them of everything and put them in the boss’ safe.”
“It must be different from just working in the financial sector. Are you sure?”
“If you only do easy things, the world doesn’t taste good. From the beginning, I wanted to play on a bigger board.”
“Then talk to Steve and let him do the job!”
“All right. By the way, Brian would be very upset if he found out about this. That’s what I’m most worried about.”
Brian, who has a strong reputation in the construction industry, didn’t fit in with this kind of political work. The political arena, where every word of his was melted, was literally the opposite of his style of pushing with one fiery driving force.
“You have to create a suitable place and job. Let the two of you discuss it and try to figure it out. Huh!”
“this! Boss, that’s just the two of us…”
Cheol-woo ended the call without listening to him until the end. In the first place, he had decided to hand over all the troublesome back-management to McKay.
“This is how you take your subordinates. If I was going to do it all, what would I have got people for? Huh!”
“After all, I was born with the ability to deal with people. Two days!”
Geoff, who was watching Chul-woo, gave his thumbs up and acknowledged it. He seemed to be sarcastic about him, who had all the virtues a boss should have.
“Leave that compliment. Aren’t you ashamed to say something like that to a yangban whose goal is to eat every day of your life?”
“You know how easy it is to eat raw? It’s a tough life that you have to be prepared for that risk.”
“Five! I totally agree with that.”
Seeing the two of them arguing, Wolf rolled his eyes. Although he was envious of something, a sense of crisis that he could not live like that ran through his mind.
“Now then, let’s rob some Jewish capitalists… no, let’s go negotiate.”
“We must be waiting outside anyway.”
“That’s why I’m pretty bored. This time, I’m going to treat it a bit harshly and end the negotiation abruptly. Evening is already approaching.”
“It seems that Bassam over there is begging him to join the negotiations…”
“a! It’s not as high as a Saudi king. Just hang out with Richard.”
“Are you planning on driving all the trouble to that guy, Richard?”
“Well, I’m going to try my best to put it in as far as I can. If you can’t do it, you have to wash it a few times to make it usable. Huh!”
Richard, who was sitting on one side and talking to Bassam, fell without knowing why. Bewildered, as he looked around, Cheol-woo summoned him and entered the negotiating table.
Having stolen the honey jar that was halfway in Crump’s mouth, it was time to steal the Jewish capital. Of course, I was thinking of negotiating a little rough and quickly.
