Episode 169. Lure (5)

Clink!

The glass thrown by Horyuji Kamikura hit the wall of the hotel room and shattered, scattering the glass and liquor everywhere.

Jennifer Han, who was standing in front of him, couldn’t even raise her head.

“I think I told you to take a stake in cloud tech. Did you take my word for it?”

“… sorry.”

In response to her reply, Kamikura Horyuji’s expression worsened with a sigh.

“Camo Investment? How did you find out about Cloud Tech’s information in such a place… Did you check?”

“Coldon directors and researchers who knew about patents said they were being thoroughly managed. Of course, no one spilled it around.”

From the beginning, Cloud Tech’s new technology patent for server operation was a project planned and hidden by Horyuji Kamikura. It was to make the stock fall to the bottom, change the CEO as desired, and at the same time raise the stock price and swallow up profits and management rights.

Of course, significant profits and management rights were secured.

However, the appearance of Camo Investment, which jumped on the bandwagon, got on Horyuji Kamikura’s nerves. It was because the plan, which was thought to be perfect, went awry.

“If you are a representative of Camo… Isn’t that the guy who turned out to be Jinyeon Group 3 this time?”

“… you’re right.”

Jennifer Han thought about the Jinyeon group and thought of Jin Soo-hyeok, who glared at her at the ＜My Neighbor Diablo＞ celebration party. Of course, I had no intention of bringing it up.

Of course, Kamikura Horyuji, who did not even know that fact, was annoyed by Camo Investment.

Then Jihu-chen, who was standing behind Jennifer Han, felt a vibration in her chest. Something came over the phone.

“… Excuse me.”

Jihuchen stepped back a little further, finished the call on his cell phone, and returned. From the expression, it was not serious.

Horyuji Kamikura, who saw that, spoke first.

“What is it?”

“Here is a place to dig about Jennifer Han’s surroundings.”

“Are you finally taking the bait?”

Recently, Jennifer Han has been active in external activities as a businessperson. It was for the business of Ten Tsubasa International, but the most important thing was to bring the organization that aimed at Jennifer Han in Korea to the surface.

Kamikura Horyuji smiled.

“Yeah—where? Did you find out that far?”

“… This is the Korean intelligence agency.”

“National Intelligence Service? Didn’t our side show up?”

“It is said that they found out by tracking the vehicle under surveillance in front of the Korean branch of Ten Tsubasa International. It is judged that they do not know our existence yet.”

At that moment, the corner of Kamikura Horyuji’s mouth went down at once.

“Are you saying that the NIS has interfered with our work so far? After killing Min Hwan-sik, Kim Chang-soo, and Gil Tae-yong, the orphanage site and Jiiksa?”

Upon receiving the question, Jihuchen pondered and said:

“We haven’t figured it out yet.”

“What do you think?”

“… Assuming that the NIS’ potential exceeds our expectations, it is most likely. A stealthy yet organized movement. Because you can’t be as advantageous as them in Korea.”

Kamikura Horyuji nodded at the reasonable explanation. However, it is not 100% sure, so doubts grow.

“Of course… It’s the NIS.”

“What should I do? First of all, nothing is revealed about Jennifer Han right away. Rather, in the current situation, if we make a move, we may be exposed.”

“My head hurts.”

“If the NIS keeps a close eye on Jennifer Han and Ten Tsubasa International for a long time, I think it will be dangerous to move the borrowed-name shares that have been hard-earned.”

It was because they were working as if they were devouring management rights of cloud technology. Of course, the task would have been several times easier if I had been in a cooperative relationship with a person with the qualifications for corporate succession.

However, on the Korean side, most of the foundations of the large companies that were working on were ruined.

“Can you figure out the NIS situation now?”

“That requires contact, but it can be more like showing ourselves. Should I take that risk?”

At Jifuchen’s opinion, Kamikura Horyuji’s fingers tapped the armrests of the sofa. The safest way was to withdraw from the Korean project altogether.

However, at least tens of billions of dollars had already been invested in each company. It was a waste of effort since it was the foundation work.

“How likely do you think the organization that will target us is the NIS?”

“that… … .”

It was difficult to predict anything.

In the meantime, Jennifer Han, who had been quietly silent, spoke cautiously.

“I’m sorry… They used Gil Tae-yong as bait and killed all the agents they had sent in and came to my place of residence. After the incident was not covered up and made public, it is still unsolved. I wonder if such people are really the NIS.”

“If—where did you think you were? Is there another organization that is more secretive than the NIS and can target us?”

Jennifer Han couldn’t open her mouth again. It’s because she couldn’t come up with the right organization even if she thought about it herself.

Then Jihuchen resumed the conversation.

“Or I think three elders or four elders would be possible.”

“Big… . I know what to do.”

After the conversation was over, everyone left.

Kamikura Horyuji went into the back room and took out another cell phone from his bag.

Tee-

Shortly after pressing the hotkey number 3, the call was connected.

A middle-aged man’s voice came through the receiver in German.

[What is it? I heard that the boss’s order prohibits contact except in special cases, but did that happen?]

Horyuuji Kamikura’s expression crumpled at the tone that scratched his nerves. Then, like a man, he answered in German.

“You still don’t know how to respect the elderly.”

[Isn’t there a hierarchy among the elders? Besides, you didn’t contact me to discuss my tone, right?]

The identity of the man was Lester Ramos, the Three Elders.

Kamikura Horyuji was annoyed at this, but he didn’t give up because he was in need right now.

“Is there a ganja planted by the National Intelligence Service of the Republic of Korea in Savnak?”

[Why ask that? Elder Kamikuro, you decided to take full responsibility for this project on the Korean side, didn’t you? And didn’t you say that you’re looking for people who killed my children by using Jennifer Han as bait in Korea?]

I was referring to Min Hwan-shik, Kim Chang-soo, Gil Tae-yong and others.

Horyuji Kamikura knew that well, so he cleared his throat and continued talking.

“Big—that’s why I contacted you. It is the National Intelligence Service of the Republic of Korea that took the bait. I don’t know if it’s anywhere else. If a government agency sniffed at us, wouldn’t it be something to be careful about?”

[that… Probably not… … .]

“It looks like someone planted it in the NIS as well.”

Otherwise, it was because Lester Ramos could not speak as if he knew the dynamics of the NIS.

[I’m not sure. Not all government agencies communicate. Are you sure the NIS is really there? Aren’t you mistaken for something else?]

Until now, the existence of the organization had been pursued by other government agencies as well. However, it has never been as digging as what happened in Korea.

This situation was so critical.

“It’s also your territory, so could you look into it?”

[Let’s check it first.]

“If possible, additional people from you—”

pop-

The call was disconnected even before the last request was finished.

A few days later. Camo Investment office.

Edward Warner passed the hallway that separated the teams and knocked on the door of the president’s office.

smart-

“Excuse me.”

“it’s okay. Come in and talk.”

In response to Kang-su’s answer, Edward Warner put the papers in his hand on the desk.

“What is it?”

“The places you were talking about last time.”

“Are you talking about TC International and RID Construction?”

“you’re right. When I analyzed the charts of several years ago as well as this year, I can see traces of someone deliberately using numbers to periodically accumulate them.”

The papers had separate graphs drawn on them.

Kang-su went through them at high speed and continued to listen to Edward Warner’s explanation.

“In the case of RID Construction, it was at least four years ago. If you look at the contents there—”

Tadadada— Tadadada—

While listening to him, Kang-soo checked the documents and started searching the Internet on a computer. Seeing this, Edward Warner slowly moved towards the river and checked the screen together.

On the screen, there was an article about a noisy incident inside or outside RID Construction.

Kangsu, who scraped some of them, printed them out right away and brought them to the printer.

Kang-soo spread the printouts containing the articles on the table in front of the sofa. The RID construction stock prices, which I just received from Edward Warner and confirmed, are listed in the order of the date when the graph showed a downward trend.

[RID construction executive Na Mo assaulted a woman at a club in Hongdae… … .]

[RID Construction Chairman Na Byung-tae, suspicion of billions of rebates with subcontractors… … .]

[Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport executive, R construction and black deal. In the process of bidding for the site… … ]

.

.

Various articles made Kang-su frown. On the other hand, Edward Warner was not good at reading Korean, so it was difficult to understand what the contents were. Kangsu’s reaction only guessed that the content was not good.

“… These are the reasons for the downtrend.”

“It seems so.”

“If this is the case, I think the stock trends of other companies you mentioned have a similar cause.”

Kangsu went through the article and the data Edward gave him.

“It is clear that someone intends to devour the companies operating with RID Construction.”

“But there are also oddities.”

“What is it?”

“If the work has been going on for this long, neither RID Construction nor other companies will know. If you really don’t know, there is only one reason.”

After listening to his explanation, Kangsu muttered naturally.

“Car name… … .”

“… you’re right. Did you know?”

“no. Looking at the analyzed data and situation, that was the only thing that came to mind.”

Edward couldn’t help but be surprised again. Unlike general financial accounts, the method of managing stocks under borrowed names is a very tricky problem, so it is rarely used.

It wasn’t easy to recall unless you’ve experienced it or been through it.

“anyway… If you are really buying under a borrowed name, you may have no choice but to open your eyes and lose.”

“The only way to check is to check the shareholder register directly through the exchange or the company side.”

“you’re right. Some of them are also our customers, so we might be able to request them.”

The fact that Camo Investment made more than 200 billion won in profits through cloud technology, an American company, spread through articles.

Of course, the companies that had been flirting with Camo did not hesitate to become customers. As such, Camo’s reputation was bound to rise in a short period of time.

“Among the companies that had a large stock trading volume at that time, Keumyoung Construction, DF Pharmaceuticals, Seohwa Holdings, AJ Communications, and RID Construction. Other than that, please request all other companies belonging to the customer.”

“All right.”

“I will look into JY Holdings and TC International separately. Please share as soon as it is collected.”

Kang-soo had a feeling that he recognized the other ways of those who tried to devour the company through vicious means. Then, he called his grandfather, Jin Yeon-seok.
