The Blue House Presidential Residence Restaurant.

The president was meeting with the president of Taean Industry.

If it were an official meeting, we would have met in the presidential office at the Blue House, but this meeting was unofficial.

“Do you like kalguksu?”

“Flour is bad for you.”

Usually, when you ask the president if he likes kalguksu, he usually says he likes it even if he doesn’t, but President Park Moon-soo was different.

There was no flexibility in this regard.

“But there’s nothing you can do about it being delicious.”

“Haha, then let’s talk while eating.”

“Yes, Mr. President.”

“Who calls the president ‘Your Excellency’ authoritatively these days? They just call him ‘President.’”

“Yes, Mr. President.”

“Do you know that when I became the President of the Republic of Korea and was trying to eradicate the Hanahwe, I considered President Park Moon-soo as a candidate for the Minister of National Defense?”

“Yes, I declined.”

“Usually, if your relatives are the heads of a conglomerate, it would be a relief and help, so I was surprised when you said you would turn down the position of Minister of National Defense.”

The president spoke while staring intently at Taean Industry CEO Park Moon-soo. And then two bowls of delicious kalguksu appeared from the kitchen.

“Let’s talk while we eat.”

“Yes, Mr. President.”

April 13, 1992, Young Business President’s Office.

The company I invested in has one characteristic.

Important meetings must begin after regular school hours in Korea.

Of course, meetings that I am not attending will be held in the morning.

“We have established an international resource recycling company in Russia and Bangladesh as instructed by our largest shareholder.”

Secondly, Uncle Hyuk always keeps the line like this.

“Thank you for your hard work.”

“I didn’t really have any hardships. The staff members’ work abilities were excellent, so it was dealt with right away. Now I think I understand why people say you have to graduate from a good university. When I was in school, I should have studied like the CEO said instead of just thinking about making money. Hahaha!”

“A wise person achieves more than a person with a lot of knowledge.”

In my opinion, all the CEOs I have appointed are people with wisdom rather than intellectuals with a lot of knowledge.

“It’s too late to regret it now.”

“When will I have time to study? I’m thinking of going to night school.”

As expected, Uncle Hyuk is wise.

“And?”

“Oh, we just exported the amount collected from the used clothes collection box to Bangladesh. According to market research, the price is 3,000 won per kilogram, and we exported 100 tons for now.”

100 tons may sound like a lot, but it’s a pittance in terms of revenue.

“Things are progressing smoothly.”

“Yes, that’s right. Hahaha, it’s not much profit-wise, but that’s how I’m entering the Bangladeshi economy and gathering information.”

“So you have collected information?”

“Yes, elite employees are different. I sent them to sign a contract, and they even investigated the Bangladeshi economy and analyzed the market feasibility and reported it to me. That report is the document in front of you, investor.”

At the words of the Young Business CEO, I looked through the documents.

“It is a wasteland for investment and overseas investment is difficult. And there are many problems in establishing a business, but the biggest advantage is that labor costs are the lowest in Asia, so there is a lot of potential for development into a domestic clothing product manufacturing plant.”

“Yes, that’s exactly right. And below that, it’s analyzed that while domestic and foreign companies are currently advancing into China, Southeast Asian countries will be more stable in the future than China.”

“uncle.”

“why?”

When I call the CEO of Young Business Uncle, he immediately responds back informally.

“Who wrote this report?”

“Chief Kim Eung-soo, please come in.”

Uncle Hyuk immediately pressed the intercom and gave instructions to the secretary.

After a while, Manager Kim Eung-soo came in.

“The person who wrote this report is Manager Kim Eung-soo. He is the largest shareholder.”

Special room in a fine dining restaurant next to the Russian government building in Moscow.

Taean Industry CEO Park Moon-soo explained the Bear Business in detail to the President of the civilian government while eating kalguksu and unofficially received confirmation of the brokerage business rights. At the same time, he came to Russia with a Russian interpreter and a team of workers.

It was because he was lobbying and spending huge amounts of money on lobbying that he was able to meet with the Russian Army General in Moscow.

“The representative of the Taiwanese industry proposed to General Shevchenko a natural resources and arms trade business that would benefit the Russian government while resolving the outstanding debt owed by the Soviet Union to the Republic of Korea.”

President Park Moon-soo knows some Russian, but he pretends not to know and brings along a Russian interpreter.

“You’re being too grandiose when you ask me to pay you back.”

General Shevchenko grumbled.

Taean Industry CEO Park Moon-soo just smiled, pretending not to understand. Then, the Russian interpreter relayed General Shevchenko’s words.

“Tell them directly that you will be fully grateful if they cooperate to conclude a contract for natural resources or arms trade.”

“Directly?”

President Park Moon-soo brought a Russian interpreter, but the Russian general came here alone. Of course, he came with his adjutant when he came in, but he ordered the adjutant to wait outside, perhaps because he thought he could receive a bribe.

“I think being alone means you can take bribes, so being direct would be better.”

President Park Moon-soo was able to recognize this immediately because he had dealt with many of these types of people when he was a high-ranking officer in the Republic of Korea Army.

“Yes, I understand.”

After the Russian interpreter answered President Park Moon-soo, he relayed President Park Moon-soo’s words accurately and directly.

Because he spoke so directly, the Russian general looked even more surprised and looked at President Park Moon-soo.

“If you give me a place to conduct an arms deal, I will offer you $100,000 here and then give you $1 million as a bonus when the arms brokerage contract is concluded.”

“Boss, aren’t you being too direct?”

“I am a soldier who came to see the money. So I am not a soldier. Please pass it on.”

“yes.”

When the Russian interpreter relayed the exact amount to the Russian general, the Russian general was momentarily taken aback, but then he laughed.

“You’re hot like vodka.”

“Jang Se-dong, oh, everything is good, but it’s a bit awkward to call Manager Jang Se-dong by his name.”

President Park Moon-soo called in Manager Jang Se-dong, a former manager of the General Affairs Department of Samjeong Group who had been waiting without saying a word.

“Yes, I also thought my name was really good until 1980. In fact, I am even thinking about changing it.”

Jang Se-dong?

The leader of the bald tank assault team is Jang Se-dong.

Because of their coup, spring in Seoul disappeared.

The South Korean military should be hated by the South Korean people even after 20 or even 30 years.

“Please give me $100,000.”

“Are you sending it right now?”

“It’s like seeing something and feeling something.”

“Yes, I understand.”

Actually, $100,000 is a lot of money, but if you have 1,000 $100 bills, two of them would be enough.

Just putting it in my pocket was enough.

Anyway, when Chief Jang Se-dong took out $100,000 from his bag and politely handed it to the Russian general, a smile spread across his face.

‘If I convey it like this, you’ll think I’m ignoring you.’

President Park Moon-soo first thought that the Russian military was truly corrupt. In any case, President Park Moon-soo’s first meeting with the Russian military general ended successfully.

Samjeong Life Insurance CEO’s Office.

“Oh, my father donated the ancient book called Hunminjeongeum Haeryebon to the Samjeong Art Museum on the condition that it be donated to the National Museum of Korea in five years?”

The president of Samjeong Life Insurance spoke to his chief secretary with a look of incomprehension.

“Yes, I looked into it and they say it’s a very valuable book that’s difficult to appraise.”

“So how much is it?”

“It is said to be worth more than 1 trillion won in value. It is the Hunminjeongeum Haeryebon that was compiled at the same time as the promulgation of Hunminjeongeum, and it is said to be the only ancient book discovered.”

“1 trillion, hahaha, now father is aiming for respect. By the way, did the composite stock index fall today too?”

“Yes, accordingly, Samjung Life Insurance’s stock price fell by 0.7%. Based on January, it fell by 7%.”

“I don’t know whether to laugh or cry at this situation.”

The reason the president of Samjung Life Insurance said this was because he had been informed by a Samjung Securities associate that Ji-seong and Ji-hyeong had invested in a product related to the rise of the Korea Composite Stock Price Index.

“And boss.”

“say.”

“There is something surprising about what I have learned.”

“Surprise? What is it?”

“Ji-seong, the youngest son of the president of Samsung Electronics, is the third largest shareholder of Samsung Electronics.”

“The three largest shareholders?”

“yes.”

“Hahaha, that guy keeps surprising me.”

“In the recent news about real estate speculation in Pangyo, the media focused on real estate speculation by conglomerates and targeted the Samjung Group.”

“That’s right, I never thought that Misun would secretly buy the land in Pangyo for her adopted son.”

“Then, when the chairman announced that he would build a Samsung Electronics semiconductor plant in the area in order to silence the media, real estate prices skyrocketed. So, by selling some of the stock, it seems that Ji Sung-gun acquired a 15% stake in Samsung Electronics.”

“I told you, Ji-seong is a lucky guy.”

“Yes, that seems certain.”

“What are you talking about?”

“This time, the civilian government officially announced the Pangyo New Town development project.”

“Is that really true?”

“Yes, the price of the land that Samsung Electronics purchased to build a semiconductor factory is skyrocketing.”

“You’re lucky, hyung. I thought you’d just fall over after shaking like this, but the factory site you bought turned out to be a new city development area? Damn it!”

If the civilian government announces the development of Pangyo New Town, the biggest beneficiary will be Ji Sung, who still owns 200,000 pyeong of land. And Samjung Electronics has already purchased 100,000 pyeong of land in Pangyo from Ji Sung.

‘This is going to be difficult.’

He was the president of Samjeong Life Insurance who couldn’t help but think of himself as his father’s second son.

April 22, 1992, Samjung Group Chairman’s Office.

As soon as school was over, I was kidnapped by the Samjeong Group secretary in front of the school gate and brought here.

‘I was kidnapped.’

Because my grandfather brought me here without any reason, saying he was looking for me.

[Ji Seong-ah, the civilian government officially announced the Pangyo New Town development project.]

We have benefited greatly from the civilian government.

[Real estate prices are going to skyrocket.]

[Yes, it is skyrocketing as soon as it is announced. According to what I have confirmed through a government official I know, one of the reasons for the selection was that the Samjung Group decided to establish a semiconductor plant in Pangyo.]

‘That’s why you called me.’

I saw my grandfather looking at me.

“Jisung, you seem to be incredibly blessed with money. I didn’t know the civilian government would announce the Pangyo New Town development project so quickly.”
