The 3th Generation of the Chaebol Wants to Live Quietly - Chapter 1136



Only Noblemtl

1136.

The opponent is a third-generation chaebol.

But the first person that came to mind for comparison was Director Choi Min-hyeok.

Comparing the two just makes my heart suffocate.

‘Director Choi Min-hyeok is a monster.’

He wasn’t someone I was particularly interested in.

Instead, Chief Choi Hae-jin glared at him.

In the end, Chief Yang Jeong-chun, who was called in, dragged out Chief Choi Hae-jin along with his bodyguard.

Chief Choi Hae-jin shouted loudly.

[Director Lee, do you think you can get away with this?! I will definitely uncover the truth!!]

What kind of truth are you trying to uncover?

Strictly speaking, Hanboo Group Chairman Choi Myeong-jin was also involved in this matter.

Senior Vice President Kim Hyeon-woo looked at the scene blankly and then said.

“… Director Choi Min-hyeok is probably behind it.”

“…What do you mean?”

“You’re Chief Choi Hae-jin, right? The one who incited that person was Director Choi Min-hyeok. He probably knew about Hanbu Steel’s insolvency in advance.”

“… Is that true?”

No it wasn’t.

Director Choi Min-hyeok knew very well how rotten Hanbu Steel was.

Even the power of the regime is involved.

So there was no way I could interfere with that.

If possible, it’s better to keep your distance because even if you dip your feet in, it’s obvious that it’ll be a hassle.

However, Senior Vice President Kim Hyun-woo’s position was a bit different. He only wanted Director Choi Min-hyeok to be involved with the Hanbu Group. That way, the real power in the government would come forward immediately.

‘It’s like this now, but I’m not sure if it’ll work.’

In the end, Senior Vice President Kim Hyeon-woo had to hang on to Director Choi Min-hyeok.

“Everyone knows that the Hanboo Group was involved in the Hanyoung Ilbo. There is no way that Director Choi Min-hyeok would just sit back and do nothing after that.”

Planning Director Lee Ho-jun frowned. But he wasn’t stupid. He knew that Senior Vice President Kim Hyeon-woo was trying to get his attention.

“… I told you again not to come back?”

“This is my business card.”

“… Salomon Brothers?”

Planning Director Lee Ho-jun was shocked. No, he was more accurate to say he was greatly embarrassed. After all, Salomon Brothers is not unrelated to the Hanboo Group.

However, Senior Vice President Kim Hyeon-woo’s major was unrelated to investment.

If we continue the relationship by force, the only thing that will happen is that CEO Choi Du-jin is the father.

Senior Vice President Kim Hyeon-woo smiled brightly. It couldn’t have been better to see Planning Director Lee Ho-jun so surprised.

“Well, it’s not my place to interfere with the Hanboo Group’s business. But it’s true that I helped them with the convertible bond issue. So I’d like to receive some kind of compensation for that. Yes, please pardon Executive Director Choi Hoon-yeol.”

“Ha, what power do I have to say something like that?!”

“As the head of the planning department of Hanbu Group, I don’t think he has the power to do that. But as an agent who supplies slush funds to the government, he has a lot of power. This kind of thing shouldn’t be difficult.”

“… … .”

Planning Director Lee Ho-jun sent a signal to Manager Yang Jeong-chun with a wink and sent him out. He was worried that someone might hear him at the door.

He looked at Senior Vice President Kim Hyeon-woo coldly.

“Do you want to die?!”

“No. I want to live.”

“But why do you say things like that?!”

Even when the other party threatened him, Senior Vice President Kim Hyeon-woo did not even blink an eye.

He was in a desperate situation. He was on the edge, not only for survival, but also for revenge.

“To be exact, I’m doing this to survive. Also, Director Choi Min-hyeok is a problem for you too. I will deal with Director Choi Min-hyeok.”

“Hey, even President Choi Du-jin seems to have given up, so what power do you have?”

Senior Vice President Kim Hyun-woo flinched at the mention of ‘CEO Choi Du-jin’, but gritted his teeth. The reason he had kept quiet until now was because of CEO Choi Du-jin’s wealth.

But now the relationship has become so strained that it is difficult to pursue the inheritance.

In the end, I had to stand up on my own.

He was confident that his network would be enough.

In fact, the Hanbu group was also one of the targets.

Although I am here because of a proposal to Executive Director Choi Hoon-yeol.

“I don’t have the strength. But it’s different with Salomon Brothers. If Director Lee Ho-jun helps, the chances of winning will increase.”

“Just go.”

“No, we don’t have much time. I’m sure you’ve already heard about the Plims technology and the Ani Autonomous Technology.”

“Oh, that. I confirmed that it was a lie. And think about it logically. Is that a valid technology? HY Automobile is also a technology that has not been obtained through years of digging.”

“I know. But Director Choi Min-hyeok is different. He is the real deal.”

In fact, Director Choi Min-hyeok handed over a report containing some of the information that was intentionally leaked to Planning Director Lee Ho-jun.

Planning Director Lee Ho-jun also laughed at first, but then his face turned pale.

Senior Vice President Kim Hyeon-woo put a period.

“Anyway, it’s not like Hanbu Group will suffer any losses. I’ll do the work. Instead, please proceed with pardoning Executive Director Choi Hoon-yeol.”

Planning Director Lee Ho-jun thought about it for a moment and then sighed.

“Well, it’s not like it can’t be done. But the timing is not good. It might have been different a year ago, but now there’s pressure coming from all over the place.”

“I will take charge of the media. If we use those who have a negative view of or are anxious about Director Choi Min-hyeok, this will not be difficult.”

“… … .”

Planning Director Lee Ho-jun was silent again. He was already considering taking care of Director Choi Min-hyeok. However, the aftermath of the Han-Young Ilbo incident still remained.

The situation was so complicated that it was not easy to fight back against Director Choi Min-hyeok.

It wouldn’t be a bad thing if Senior Vice President Kim Hyeon-woo would act as the agent.

However, the issue of pardons could not be decided here.

“… I will contact you.”

“I’ll wait for your positive response.”

I didn’t even bother to say, ‘If you don’t do it, you’ll regret it.’

***

Senior Vice President Kim Hyun-woo did not bother to hide what he did from Director Derek Morgan.

Director Derek Morgan was briefed on Senior Vice President Kim Hyun-woo’s activities.

It was in consideration of Director Dennis Salomon’s claim, because he still suspected Senior Vice President Kim Hyun-woo.

“What do you think? It’s really amazing that you used the Hanbu Group.”

“…Honestly, I don’t know.”

Director James Lerner countered.

“It is true that although Senior Vice President Kim Hyeon-woo himself had no power, he expressed sound opinions.”

Especially sticking to the basics.

Senior Vice President Kim Hyeon-woo did not use far-off, absurd information.

It was a stroke of genius to use HY automobiles to pressure O Sung Electronics and put the brakes on the Collins division’s finances.

It’s true that Director James Lerner helped, but it’s something to be admired.

Director Derek Morgan is the same.

“Everyone knows that the Hanboo Group is the government’s slush fund. We failed to take advantage of it. That is something to be commended.”

But director Dennis Salomon tells a different story.

“The important thing is the new corporation Plims. There is also an Ani platform, and that is related to the Apple short sale.”

“That’s right. But no matter how urgent it is, you can’t rush. Senior Vice President Kim Hyun-woo knows that very well. He builds things up calmly. Is Director Dennis Salomon ignoring that?”

“… That’s not it.”

Director Dennis Salomon sighed. What Senior Vice President Kim Hyun-woo is doing is not something to be taken lightly. Rather, they are getting caught up in Director Choi Min-hyeok’s actions and doing nothing but the wrong things.

“In fact, we are largely responsible for the Clinton camp’s campaign promise to include the Plims technology. We made things needlessly difficult.”

That’s right.

It was they who provided the excuse for the Plims technology.

Director Choi Min-hyeok didn’t have any such plans in the first place.

Director Dennis Salomon frowned as he looked at the two men.

The two were surprisingly satisfied with the way Senior Vice President Kim Hyeon-woo handled the work.

“… Okay. I will also help with the work that Senior Vice President Kim Hyeon-woo is doing.”

“There’s no need to underestimate Senior Vice President Kim Hyun-woo. The reason he’s been quiet until now is because he was conscious of Director Choi Min-hyeok’s gaze. He’s been consulted. Let’s make the most of Senior Vice President Kim Hyun-woo this time.”

When they actually got to work, the situation was worse than what they had started.

Even Congressman John Smith has not been contacted, apparently under pressure.

Rather, some members of the U.S. Congress looked at Salomon Brothers with disdain.

Most of them are those who have their eyes on Director Choi Min-hyeok’s political funds, or more precisely, his investments in Plims.

The Clinton camp added that they were in talks to use Choi Min-hyeok’s Plims technology.

I was worried about what to give to Director Choi Min-hyeok.

In the end, I decided to eat some popcorn while watching Senior Vice President Kim Hyeon-woo do his job.

That’s how scared Director Choi Min-hyeok was.

‘For the time being, we have no choice but to watch.’

***

While observing Senior Vice President Kim Hyeon-woo’s movements, Director Choi Min-hyeok also kept a close eye on the current state of Salomon Brothers.

He paid particular attention to the Apple short selling situation, and there were changes.

‘Do you trust Senior Vice President Kim Hyeon-woo that much?’

Honestly, I’m not sure about this.

We’ll have to see how things progress.

It makes sense, as Director Derek Morgan didn’t look down on himself like he used to.

It means to approach cautiously.

That’s not a good thing.

Because we conduct thorough research before everything.

Eventually, the schedule for the new corporation Plims, which he led, also got delayed.

Team leader Jo Seong-don also confirmed that point.

“… Surprisingly, the Salomon Brothers Korea branch is quiet. They have stopped all the activities they used to do.”

In particular, Salomon Brothers is expanding in an octopus-like manner by utilizing the Korean stock market. However, it seems that they are restraining themselves from such activities these days.

It was as if he was preparing something.

“Senior Vice President Kim Hyeon-woo is moving alone.”

“Yes. At first glance, it looks like they are supporting Senior Vice President Kim Hyeon-woo.”

“I guess that means he was recognized to that extent.”

“Huh? Are you talking about Chief Kim?”

Director Choi Min-hyeok continued to complain.

“Don’t look at the case with too much prejudice. Chief Deputy Director Kim Hyeon-woo is doing a good job.”

“That’s… … .”

Certainly, Senior Vice President Kim Hyeon-woo was doing a good job.

Team Leader Jo Seong-don also let go of his preconceptions and realized that there was no problem with Senior Vice President Kim Hyeon-woo’s route.

Because it’s surprisingly true to the basics.

Director Choi Min-hyeok was certain that things would turn out like this because of his memories from his past life.

Even when KM Group went bankrupt, Senior Vice President Kim Hyeon-woo continued to survive by selling off KM Group assets.

‘I also made a lot of profit.’

Executive Director Choi Hoon-yeol and Senior Vice President Kim Hyeon-woo devoured KM Group assets like twins.

The incident was so serious that it even took Chairman Choi Yong-wook’s life.

It’s a vase.

Director Choi Min-hyeok spoke while shaking off memories of a future that would never come.

“We don’t need to move hastily either. Just take a look at what they’re doing. It looks like they’ve already secured quite a bit of money, so it’d be interesting if they blew that fortune. There’s also the slush fund of Executive Director Choi Hoon-yeol, who is scheduled to be pardoned. At the time, they left it in order to seize control of KM Electronics, but this time, they need to finish it off.”

A quiet pledge.

No, I will definitely make it so.

To the point of jumping into the Han River himself.

“…All right.”

Team Leader Jo Seong-don only then realized that Director Choi Min-hyeok was scary. Sometimes, Director Choi Min-hyeok would act so frustratingly that he would get disappointed, but thinking back now, it wasn’t necessarily like that.

It was not easy for KD Communications to close down its business in China because it was entangled with the Chinese Communist Party. It was investing in IP City Phone with a heavy heart.

‘That’s what KD Communications is like.’

***

The pardon of Executive Director Choi Hoon-yeol was not a particularly burdensome task for the government.

It was a subject that had already been pushed out by public opinion.

In fact, the local economic downturn was a bigger problem.

Strictly speaking, the idea of ​​using Executive Director Choi Hoon-yeol to pressure Director Choi Min-hyeok wasn’t a bad one.

It was too burdensome for them to step forward and the repercussions were too great.

To be exact, Director Choi Min-hyeok was a burden.

Because the pressure from the US government was fierce.

This was especially true during President Clinton’s re-election campaign.

Because the Clinton camp is considering the Plims item as a re-election item.

Just in case, I asked Salomon Brothers, but they only said that they trusted Senior Vice President Kim Hyeon-woo.

Given the circumstances, we have no choice but to grant amnesty.

[But not right now!]
