I will resign and go to Australia - I will resign and go to Australia chapter 226
226 episodes. Which of the two do you prefer?
After secret talks with All Mining, GL, and Bosco,
Lee Ji-hyung had dinner alone with Seo Jeong-soo, vice president of Seongsam C&T.
Although he attended the meeting on behalf of him, it was because Seo Jung-soo was also a close aide who would lead the company, which is a core affiliate of the equity structure in the future.
“I’m not going to be on the front lines, but I’m going to give them all the support they need.”
Seo Jung-soo nodded at Lee Ji-hyung’s words.
“Yes, I also think that President Jang should be cut off at this time. Even though Chief Secretary Choi Soo-hyuk was made that way, look at how he continues to open his hands without blinking an eye.”
“Haha, maybe that’s why it’s more like that. By the way, what do you think the president of the West will be like in the future?”
Seo Jeong-soo put his thoughts into his mouth without hesitation.
“Based on my experience in Australia, I would like to raise the hand of CEO Jin Yu-seong.”
“Why do you think so?”
“I’m speaking objectively, not from the position where I worked on the Louis Hill project. At that time, All Mining was definitely an outsider, but CEO Jin overturned the situation. If he hadn’t held the hand he held out, we might have become like Foresque Metal. I don’t know.”
“Hahaha, it looks like you’ve been treated quite harshly. This is the first time I’ve seen the president of the West look like this.”
Seo Jung-soo smiled awkwardly at Lee Ji-hyung’s smile.
“I’d like to meet you too, that friend Jin Yu-seong.”
“I’ll make a seat for you later.”
“But what if we judged based on the present situation rather than the experience of that time?”
“Hmm…”
Seo Jeong-soo had no choice but to think deeply this time.
That’s probably because President Hak-Jun Jang’s influence reached not only in the political world, but also in the business world.
Lame Duck was not a person to be taken lightly.
“In my opinion, it depends on the level of view of the people involved in seeing the Vice President and Senior Vice President Koh Sang-moon.”
“……Is that so?”
“No matter how much evidence is overflowing, the results will come when they are accepted and the investigation is done properly.”
In a case of this magnitude, numerous human figures such as prosecutors, judges, politicians, and the media will become entangled.
It is clear that Jang Hak-jun will engage in all kinds of sabotage in the process.
At that time, the Seongsam Group on the negative side and the GL group on the positive side were going to pave the way for the case to move toward the truth.
Therefore, life and death depend on the value of their names as successors.
There must be a person who has received a request from both sides, and you will have to raise the hand of either side.
It was up to their eye level to choose whether it would be Hak-Jun Jang, Ji-Hyeong Lee or Sang-Moon Koh.
“If it’s your father, there’s no need to mention it, right?”
“Yes, that’s the reality.”
“Wow, there’s a long way to go. If you want to go crazy at your father’s feet.”
“It will be so.”
Seo Jeong-soo spoke in a confident tone.
“If this is done well, rumors will spread around the world that Seong-sam and the successors of GL have overthrown the current president.”
“Is the image of me and Koh Sang-moo upgraded at once?”
Lee Ji-hyung raised one corner of his mouth with a happy expression.
“Yes, but it’s a bit difficult because it looks like Koh Sang-moo is in charge and the vice-president is the backer.”
“It’s not necessarily a bad thing, because sometimes it’s better to stay hidden.”
Rather, it is the more under-the-hood works like this.
Because it gives people room to imagine.
Fear begets fear, and fear begets fear.
“But, Vice President.”
“……?”
“Even if we concede everything else, shouldn’t we be holding the opposition leader? After all, if this case breaks out, the opposition’s approval rating will rise and the share price of the next presidential candidate, Dae-gon Lee, will rise.”
The probability of winning the presidency is not high, but almost certain.
Because it was an event with a huge ripple effect.
“Do you think the West boss will get along smoothly?”
“Even if it’s between enemies, wouldn’t it be like that?”
“Hahaha, even between enemies is not usually between enemies. Isn’t it Lee Dae-gon who took the lead when Chairman Ko passed away the GL semiconductor with tears in his eyes? Sang-moo Ko will definitely make unreasonable demands. .”
“Then maybe…”
“You must have heard Dae-gon Lee by now. That we are also in the work led by the GL group.”
At Lee Ji-hyung’s words, Seo Jeong-soo patted his knee.
“It’s the vice president, no, the boss.”
At Seo Jung-soo’s mouthful of compliments, Lee Ji-hyung smirked.
“I’m not the CEO yet. Be careful with your mouth, as things may go wrong if you get excited.”
“Yes, Vice President.”
***
A small Japanese restaurant in Yeouido.
Despite peak hours in the evening, there was a sign on the front door saying that it was closed.
“You came early.”
Koh Sang-moon, who came in with the door open, approached the old man who was sipping alcohol alone and said,
“The successor of the GL group wants to meet, but he doesn’t come running in one month, so why not give up?”
“I think I know what the floor leader is going to say.”
“Hahaha, then, think I’m here because I want to look good to you.”
Koh Sang-moon smiled and pulled up a chair and sat down.
And I said to the chef who was polishing the gray knife.
“Would you mind staying out for a moment?”
“……”
When he didn’t say anything, Dae-gon Lee said.
“Don’t worry, I’m deaf. It’s my go-to place.”
“I can’t, because today’s conversation is quite sensitive.”
Koh Sang-moon sign language to the chef and asks for his understanding.
He nodded and moved away.
“Hmm, can you speak sign language?”
“I learned anything I could learn.”
“I’ve heard that GL is the most eccentric among chaebols with a passion for education, but it’s amazing.”
“Learning is the foundation of development. In that sense, there is no one who has given our group a great lesson than the floor leader.”
“Hahaha, this really has a knack for making people feel uncomfortable, but yes.”
“I never meant it that way, because I really do think so.”
“……”
Dae-gon Lee looked at Ko Sang-moon.
The work at that time did not end with a lesson.
At that time, it was GL Semiconductor’s big deal that he planned and finished from start to finish.
If the GL group had continued without giving up on the semiconductor business at that time, the current position of Sung Sam Electronics would have been that of GL Semiconductor.
“You don’t seem to believe it.”
“Honestly, that’s because Chairman Ko’s eyes still sometimes come out of dreams.”
“Of course, my father hasn’t settled on his grievances yet. He almost stopped paying attention when the inyx came out for sale.”
“I guess he did that because he might remember that time.”
“You’ve suffered so much heartache. But it’s all in the past, and it’s just a thing of the past. I plan to take that as a lesson and take the group one step further.”
In the words of Sang-moon Ko, who drew a line with himself, Dae-gon Lee thought that he could lead a positive conversation.
There was no reason for the perpetrator to risk falling further when the victim said he would forget.
“If we can forget the past and coexist, what could be better than that. What was the purpose of meeting you today?”
“Do you know what the foreign press is reporting on?”
“I know.”
“Why don’t you try to grow the board with it?”
“I think it will be difficult. The resource diplomacy project is a policy that we proceeded with 10 years later.”
“What if I could prove the corruption?”
“Hmm, the GL group was also involved in that project, so we may have secured a piece or two of evidence.
Questions that point out loopholes in logic rather than thinking.
If he could see a gap here, the opponent in front of him could have coldly rejected the hand he held out.
“You don’t have to worry about that.”
“Are you confident that your feet are clean even after you put your feet in the mud?”
“Because I’ve already put on my boots.”
“Who is it?”
“I’m Jang Min-soo.”
Lee Dae-gon’s eyes widened when an unexpected name came up.
“Jang Min-soo? Why the hell?”
“It doesn’t matter why, it’s that he’s with us.”
“No, the reason is also important to me. Apparently, he’s a key man, but if he says something else later, it won’t end in the back of the head.”
Seeing his endless doubts, Koh opened his mouth with the thought that he was a politician.
“It’s because of Jang Young-joon, the chairman of the horse society. You turned yourself in for embezzlement a while ago.”
“The timing isn’t right. That’s recent, and Jang Min-soo helping you is a thing of the past.”
“I knew then that my father would be like this. You know the style of President Jang. Even as a brother, he is strict in reward and punishment.”
Koh Sang-moon was lying around to hide the existence of Jin Yu-seong.
This was because the designer of this work would be considered himself.
“What could it be?”
Dae-gon Lee shook his head and smirked.
But the inside was different.
‘At least, it must be the work of Vice President Lee Ji-hyung.’
In Lee Dae-gon’s eyes, Koh Sang-moon looked like he wanted to hide the fact that Vice President Lee Ji-hyeong was taking the lead.
In a word, it was regarded as a struggle between two tiger cubs.
He thought the two heirs were bluffing as if they were a neighborhood alley leader.
‘Seongsam, GL. Which of the two would you like better?
Both groups are leading domestic conglomerates.
In terms of the superiority of influence, it is Seong-sam, but he had a history of close cooperation with the ruling party once because of its governance structure.
On the other hand, although the GL group lacks influence, it has a clean image that has firmly cut off political and business ties after the GL Semiconductor incident.
If you put both sides on the scale, it could be called thin ice.
‘If this happens, I’ll have to choose a place that is more politically helpful.’
In the case of Seongsam, there were many guidelines.
Since it was a company so close to the political world, the future could be predicted just by looking at the history of working with the government.
The GL group was the opposite.
So I had to check it out here.
“If I can do the sword dance as you wish, what can I do for you?”
“If you become the main character of this case, you will get a big profit in the presidential election. Do you have any wishes?”
“Isn’t there anything you want from me to make the group go one step further? Let’s talk frankly.”
“How about Jinjin Shipping?”
This year, the shipbuilding and shipping industries have entered a period of severe recession.
The market situation is not so good, but in the case of Jinjin Shipping, which is a representative of the Korean shipping industry, the president used undisclosed information to sell stocks, which was criticized by the public.
The problem is that the Korea Development Bank has invested a huge amount of public money in Jinjin Shipping, so politicians are noticing a stoppage, but it is difficult to provide additional support.
The next government could be burdened with the decision if it continued to be sluggish as it had not been able to take any clear measures.
“Are you really going to clean up that shit?”
“Yes, if the world’s fourth-largest shipping company Jinan collapses, wouldn’t it be possible for the entire Korean shipping industry to collapse?”
“The debt ratio is over 400%. But are you really saying that GL Group will take over?”
“We have a boss and a forwarding person in our group. We can create enough synergy, so let’s take a look.”
Lee Dae-gon smiled with a satisfied face.
He also thought that there would be a possibility of revival if the GL group took over.
If Jinhan Shipping, which had been turned into a dumpster, could be saved, it would have been a perfect start as a runner-up.
“I wish you all the best in the future.”
Lee Dae-gon first asked for a handshake, and Koh Sang-moon held his hand and showed a satisfied smile.
However, the meaning of that smile was not because of the current negotiations, but because of expectations for the future.
‘There is no shortage of merchant ships secured by Jinhan Shipping to become a logistics partner of All Mining.’
It was all-mining that had already secured a huge amount of underground resources around the world.
It was hard to imagine the profit that would be generated in charge of that logistics.
