I will resign and go to Australia - I will resign and go to Australia chapter 234
234 episodes. I’m back.
While Jin Yoo-sung is on his way to Korea.
Jacqueline was having a hectic day.
During the day, he handled all-mining tasks with Lucy, and at night he did not neglect his studies as if he were a student.
Occasionally, news about Korea came out of the mouths of those around him, but Jacqueline tried not to listen to it.
Because he thought it was time to trust and wait for Edward.
‘If I just listened to it, it would only upset me.’
It was then that she made up her mind and was organizing the paperwork.
– Jiying.
The text came, and Jacqueline, who checked the contents, sighed.
He said that he would not come forward with only Korean helpers, and it seemed that he was trying to do something else.
– Beep.
As soon as I pressed the intercom call, Lucy entered the office immediately.
“Jackie, did you call?”
“I got a call from Edward.”
“Representative? What’s going on?”
“Wow, see for yourself.”
Lucy nodded as Jacqueline showed her the text.
“I’ll take action right away.”
“But what is this man thinking?”
“Umm…there must have been a situation where I had to show my assets. I heard that there will be a hearing tomorrow as well, so maybe that’s why you’re going out there?”
“Okay, I felt like I was going to be on the front line for some reason when I went to Korea.”
“Don’t worry too much. You’ll be fine.”
“Hey, stop going out and work. You’ll have to hurry up to reflect it on the stock price by tomorrow morning.”
“All right.”
After Lucy left the office, Jacqueline pouted and fiddled with the necklace.
When I was touching the necklace I received as a gift, I remembered him even more.
‘I know why you rushed to Korea, but please be careful.’
No matter how much he obtained citizenship and gave up his Korean citizenship, he was a Korean.
Although my whole family immigrated, I had no choice but to come and go as often as my relatives and acquaintances were in Korea, and I promised myself that I would give myself a tour of Korea.
Moreover, it was a very natural phenomenon that one day, if you had a family, a child would be born, and you would want to show the child the country where the father grew up.
So, I had to go to Korea.
I don’t know if I’m going to go forever, but even if my nationality changes, being Korean doesn’t change.
He couldn’t stand being seen by his family as fugitives because of him.
They made the decision to immigrate to Australia for their present and future, so they could say that they were responsible for it.
“Come back safely.”
Jacqueline took the necklace in her hand and whispered a prayer.
***
next day.
Before the hearing began, Jacqueline called Yuri Jin and explained the situation.
It had been kept secret until now for fear of worrying the family, but it was because Edward could not hide it any longer due to the circumstances that led to the hearing.
However, I told Jin Yu-ri that my elderly parents might be shocked.
“Jackie, what does all that mean? He’s going to the congressional hearing?”
Jin Yu-ri was confused.
I knew that my brother had become a tycoon, but that he had an affair with the president of the Republic of Korea.
It was unimaginable.
“Yeah, I’ll be back in a little while.”
Jacqueline asked her to interpret.
Lucy, the secretary, also can’t speak Korean, so she was the only one who could ask for it.
“Where are you going! Are you crazy!?”
Jin Yu-ri sat down on the sofa with a sudden irritation.
On the monitor placed on one side, Jin Yu-seong’s hearing was just beginning.
– With this, we conclude the question-and-answer session of Representative Kang Dae-seong. Next, Edward Jin, the representative of All Mining, please come forward.
Jin Yu-ri frowned while holding her hands together.
When I saw my younger brother, I suddenly became anxious and worried.
From a young age, unlike himself, he was timid and did not like to go out.
He was always beaten up when fighting, and he could be said to be a good little brother who grew up conforming to it without making a loud noise.
However, such a younger brother is sitting in the hearing room, receiving everyone’s attention.
It looks like he is sitting resolutely, but will he feel cramped?
It was clear that his heart was tightening with tension and his eyes were darkened.
“Sister, how are you doing now?”
In the midst of the Q&A session, Jin Yu-ri didn’t say anything, so Jacqueline asked.
“Huh? Uh, wait a minute.”
Jin Yuri wet her lips with the tip of her tongue and gave a brief explanation.
“I’m explaining the reason for participating in the mine bidding, but I think you’ve prepared a bit.
“What’s wrong?”
“That idiot… you’re talking as if you’ve captured Korea. What are you provoking for? What are you going to do!”
“Hmm······”
“Look at that, after all, the chairman pays attention.”
Jacqueline laughed softly.
Provoking was proof that Edward had room.
“I guess that’s on purpose. To emphasize how messed up the public corporations there were with the project.”
“Still, there’s a degree. If you criticize like that in a place like that, your antipathy will only increase. How naive Korean politicians are.”
Jin Yuri couldn’t take her eyes off the screen with a worried expression.
But when the talk about All Mining’s market cap came up, I opened my mouth wide and looked at Jacqueline and Lucy.
“I-I-Is that true? Two and a half trillion dollars!?”
“Yeah. Now it looks like we’ve talked about it.”
“It wasn’t like that until a while ago? How suddenly…”
“It was undervalued for a while. And it was a hit when I went on a business trip to the UK a while ago.”
“OMG······”
Jin Yu-ri could not even realize how big the 3,000 trillion won in Hanwha was.
“No, wait. The UK is recent, so even so, Australia is full of cars, so why the hell did you get involved in the Korean project? It’s just dangerous for nothing.”
Lucy answered Jin Yu-ri’s question.
“At that time, the main focus of All Mining was Louis Hill, Gruyer, and Arcaringa in Australia. But it was limited to Korea, so it was necessary to use a Korean project.”
“…Isn’t it enough to just explore abroad?”
“If you look at the domestic case, Louis Hill took over some of Jencock’s shares, and Gruyer and Arkaringa also took over the ownership from Lao Tinto. Most of the places where global mining companies might have resources are already flagging.”
Lucy continued, explaining that the Korean project was the main reason.
“Korea lobbied the powers of the target country a lot before the takeover and led the mines to come to market. It was as if All Mining had to pay for it. The benefits could not be ignored.”
“what is that?”
“The network and the influence they have on it. Mining companies have to approach them as much as they do arms traders. Sometimes they can be solved with money, sometimes they can resolve diplomatic frictions with other countries. For nothing, DHP Billion and Lao Tinto are not competing for first or second place in the industry, because it is faster to find a country in the world where there are no mines they have touched.”
“Did you use the project for that and get your hands on fifteen mines around the world?”
“yes.”
Jin Yu-ri swallowed her saliva without realizing it.
It was astonishing when the timid little brother had grown up so quickly.
“uh?”
Then came Hong Kyung-moon’s call.
It was said that the younger brother stole the back money for the volunteer diplomacy project.
“Is that true? You even stole the president’s slush funds?”
At Jin Yu-ri’s question, Lucy nodded awkwardly.
“Did that even come up? Haha…”
“Crazy, did you really stole that? It’s not a movie…”
“It’s not much, compared to the representative’s assets.”
Lucy couldn’t bear to say that the small amount of money was more than trillions in Korean Won.
“uh?”
At the end of the hearing, Jin Yu-ri listened to what her younger brother asked for a chance to answer and what came out.
And I asked Lucy.
“What are you talking about again? Race horses?”
Lucy wanted to know if that story had also come out, so she told her what she knew.
“Eh!? So, when you came to work as a workaholic, you sold a racehorse to get 10 million dollars, and then you stole another 200 million dollars in slush funds?”
“Yeah, isn’t that talking about it now?”
Jin Yu-ri’s mouth suddenly dried up.
Aside from now, you did that when you were a workaholic, only a few months after you came to Australia.
It was doubtful whether it was the same person as the younger brother he knew.
‘Are you really my brother?’
She felt unfamiliar when she saw Jin Yu-seong, who said everything without hesitation at the hearing.
‘What the hell happened to you in Australia?’
***
Sydney Airport, as usual, was overcrowded.
But there was one thing different from usual.
It was just that there were a huge number of reporters.
“Wow, that’s awesome.”
Yoohyeon said at my words.
“Excluding Bearfax and P&B group affiliates, that’s about it.”
“Yeah? Everyone seems quite surprised. Hahaha.”
“There is no choice but because All Mining, a representative of the resource and energy sovereign wealth fund, has fully demonstrated the results.”
That’s right.
3 years from the founding of All Mining, and $2.5 trillion.
On a simple arithmetic average, that’s $800 billion a year.
Of course, the growth rate thereafter cannot be the same, but considering the nature of the mining industry, it takes 10 years to achieve results, which is a huge result.
-click. click. click.
With the sound of camera shutters, reporters’ questions poured in.
“CEO Edward, there is a point that the stock price has risen excessively due to the announcement of the Brent oil field contract. Please tell us about this.”
“It reflects not only the Brent oil field, but also the prospect of future expansion into the Commonwealth. Isn’t that still not enough?”
“That sounds like it’s going to take the place of Royal Dutch Shell and British Petroleum, is that right?”
“Haha, that must be up to the British government.”
“According to the top secret, it is said that the representative was conferred the title directly by His Majesty the Queen, is it true?”
“It’s true.”
“I know that the amount raised in the Resources and Energy Sovereign Wealth Fund is currently less than $300 billion. I know that All Mining is a key mining company that created the fund. What do you think of this?”
“There is no organization or advisory group to manage the fund yet. Still, it is something to celebrate that 300 billion dollars have been raised. From next year, All Mining plans to pay half of its operating profit as a fund. As a core company, we will lead by example. We look forward to your continued interest in the future.”
“……!”
The reporters looked at each other and couldn’t keep their mouths shut.
It’s probably because you know how big half of your operating profit is.
However, in All Mining, the cost of the exploration stage is zero, and the production stage was also entrusted to All-Tech or Drill Ralph, so the operating profit margin reached several times that of other companies.
Even if you pay half, it’s not a big burden.
“The rest of the questions will be asked in a separate press conference.”
When I finished my words, the guards began to clear the way.
However, the crowd split, and there were familiar faces.
“Edward!”
One of them, Jackie, ran up to me and held me in my arms.
I hugged her tightly and gently patted her on the back.
“I’m back.”
