The Highest Level Son of a Chaebol Family - Chapter 275
Only Noblemtl
The president said coldly.
“Your liver is really swollen.”
The heads of Samhwang Group and Kookchun Group opened their mouths in a hurry to make excuses.
“That can’t be true!”
“Why are we at Hyunmu Apartment······!”
Their desperate protests were stopped by the gesture of the chief of police.
“Let’s hear the rest of the story in the serving room.”
“Chief of Staff!”
“It’s unfair!”
Kkudangtang!
The chief of security at the Blue House kicked the table.
The water glass and coffee cup shattered with a loud crash.
“Unfair? These kids still haven’t come to their senses?”
Everyone turned pale at the chilling voice of the chief of security at the Blue House.
The chief of staff smiled crookedly.
“If you investigate, everything will come out. Don’t you know the capabilities of the central government?”
It was a notorious place with a reputation for creating crimes that didn’t exist.
If this continues, the leaders of the 1st and 7th largest conglomerates will end up deciding to conduct water torture on the central government.
The heads of Samhwang Group and Kukchun Group quickly knelt down.
“Your Majesty, there must have been some mistake!”
“I don’t know about this! This can’t be happening!”
“okay?”
The president asked, wiping his hands with a towel.
“I heard you have an apartment complex in the Suseo District, which is designated as a development restricted area?”
“······!”
The faces of the two group leaders immediately turned pale.
I realized that the problem was not the Apgujeong Hyunmu Apartment but the Suseo District.
“Why did you stir up Gu Jae-cheol, who was just sitting there?”
Seoul Mayor Koo Jae-cheol.
He is a man who was nicknamed the ‘Lawless Man’ for accelerating the development of Gangnam, including the relocation of prestigious high schools in Gangbuk to Gangnam, the construction of the Seoul Express Bus Terminal, and the construction of the Geumhwa Tunnel.
His greatest achievement was the construction of Subway Line 2. By designing Subway Line 2 to pass through Sindorim Station, the development restriction area was changed from Sindorim to Suseo District.
“They bribed high-ranking city officials and members of the National Assembly.”
“That, that······!”
“Corruption and collusion between politicians and businessmen. These are words I really hate.”
As soon as the President finished speaking, the chief of security at the Blue House approached him nervously.
Wow!
The chief of security at the Blue House kicked away the water glasses and teacups rolling on the floor with his shoe.
Shards of ceramic flew everywhere.
“What did you do to still be holding your balls stiffly? Aren’t you closing your eyes?”
Every time the head of the Blue House security service stepped on broken glass, an eerie crunching sound was heard.
The heads of Samhwang Group and Kukchun Group immediately fell flat on the floor.
Blood dripped from the broken glass onto his palms and forehead.
But now was not the time to worry about that.
“I didn’t intend to do anything by roasting the administrative officials!”
“After looking into it in detail, we did our best to proceed with the construction······!”
Bam! Bam!
The chief of security at the Blue House kicked the heads of the Samhwang Group and the Kookchun Group in the head with his shoe.
“A guy who gets caught drunk driving says he drank but didn’t drive? Is that even an excuse?”
The two of them got up again and fell face down, as if they were about to collapse.
The CEO of Samhwang Group shouted desperately.
“Your Majesty, we were short-sighted! We will crack down on our affiliates so that something like this never happens again!”
On the other hand, the head of the Kookchun Group felt very wronged.
“Your Majesty, this is so unfair! We are struggling to cover the construction orders in Busan and the Gyeongsang Province! To say that we bribed you to open a tunnel in the Suseo District is an outrageous and unjust accusation!”
Kookchun Group has grown into a conglomerate, which is unusual for a local company in Busan.
As a major conglomerate that focused on the shoe and clothing business and had a large overseas export base, the size of Kookchun Construction was shabby compared to other conglomerates.
“I am proud under the sky! Your Majesty, this is absolutely wrong! This is a false accusation!”
“Your Majesty, what should we do?”
The chief of staff looked back at the president.
“Are you taking me to the serving room for questioning?”
“Take it and go.”
The central agents had already finished their preparations.
“Your Majesty, please spare me! I was wrong!”
“Your Majesty, please show mercy just this once!”
However, unlike when the four construction company presidents were dragged out, they were not put under a gag.
Thanks to that, the CEO of Samhwang Group was able to shout urgently.
“Your Majesty, if you spare my life just this once, I will repent with sincerity!”
The head of the Samhwang Group shouted as he held on to the carpet of the Blue House banquet hall with his bloody hands.
“1 billion!”
“A billion? Are you crazy?”
The head of the Kookchun Group was in a hurry.
“They’re trying to catch an innocent person right now······!”
“It’s noisy.”
“Ugh, ugh!”
The mouth of the head of the Kookchun Group was gagged.
The same thing happened to the president of Kookcheon Construction.
The chief of security at the Blue House clicked his tongue.
“How can an author who gave only 30 million won for the country complain about unfair treatment?”
In contrast, the central intelligence agents who had arrested the head of Samhwang Group and the president of Samhwang Construction let go.
“The name 7th in the business world must be a crybaby. Does a businessman really not know how to do math?”
The commander in chief nodded and gave the order.
“Take it and go.”
“Ugh! Ugh!”
The chairman of Kookchun Group and the president of Kookchun Construction were dragged away by the secret agents.
However, he gave a handkerchief to the CEO of Samhwang Group and the president of Samhwang Construction.
So that I can clean the wound from the glass shard.
“Please sit down.”
A new chair has been prepared for the CEO of Samhwang Group.
Only then did the people gathered at the banquet hall realize.
‘Over 1 billion?’
‘So they were asking for political funds.’
I also realized where Chairman Yang of the Kookchun Group’s desperate cry came from.
‘Come to think of it, Chairman Yang of Kookchun Group is famous for being worse at politics than Chairman Cha of Taesung Group.’
‘He’s been acting like a cheapskate ever since I asked him to give up his election funds.’
‘The smuggling king who had been covering for Chairman Yang of the Kookchun Group disappeared, so this is exactly what happened.’
The Kookchun Group was a company that grew significantly in Busan thanks to the protection of the smuggling king.
However, the smuggling king sold his stake in the Kookcheon Group a few months ago and left Busan.
As a result, the Kookchun Group has been constantly embroiled in various noisy misfortunes these days.
“The stock market crashed as construction stocks plummeted.”
The president looked around.
The president’s sunglasses sparkled at every angle, reflecting the lights of a giant chandelier.
“The national economy is being eaten away by your speculation.”
The banquet hall, where nearly 200 people were gathered, was so quiet that not a single breath could be heard.
“Why did I have to implement a real estate regulation policy? Who is it for?”
The president’s rebuke was sharp and stinging.
The president was defining the construction companies and conglomerates gathered here as the root of all evil.
“Taesung Construction is too healthy to be called a real estate crisis.”
Only Taesung Construction was okay.
Taesung Construction achieved surprisingly excellent results.
The amount of foreign currency earned from construction in the Middle East is beyond imagination.
This was because they had been sweeping up major national projects one after another.
“In the end, all we’re saying is that there’s a lot of bubbles in poor construction stocks?”
If only it weren’t for real estate regulations!
The protests in my heart were buried in silence.
“Not only real estate speculation, but also the stock market! Speculation, speculation, speculation! Who is responsible for all this?”
A threat that if you say even one wrong word, you will be dragged out to the water torture room right away!
After the fear was already firmly engraved in my mind.
The president’s anger was directed at the table where the bankers were gathered.
“We encouraged people to save, carried out the Saemaul Movement, and even enforced a freeze on private loans to save the financial system! Then shouldn’t banks also do their part for this country?”
The bankers quickly lowered their heads and swallowed dry saliva.
“You’re busy lending money to speculators and making money by putting money aside! Are you guys swindlers? All that money was supposed to be used for facility investment and industrial expansion!”
Money is limited.
As with the national treasury, so too were the bank vaults.
“There are many places to spend it! The money that should have been saved and used for national development was just wasted in useless places, so isn’t this the state of the national economy?”
The president’s criticism went beyond the bank president and was directed at everyone present.
“Construction companies have been criticized for being hotbeds of collusion between government officials and businessmen and corruption, and for money laundering, but I have turned a blind eye to them!”
The president’s voice was very cold.
“Yes, you have become very fat through collusion between politicians and businessmen and corruption, while you have been exploiting the people by joining forces with speculators?”
No one even made a sound.
The conclusion that everyone gathered here had guessed came true.
“What should we do? Should I steal it or should you guys hand it over?”
Once the president steps in, searches and seizures and tax investigations will begin.
The heads of conglomerates and construction company presidents had no choice but to give a tearful answer.
“We will give it up voluntarily!”
“good.”
The president’s expression did not soften.
“Then how much will you give me? Let’s take a look.”
This year was a year in which not only the presidential election but also the general election was held.
Elections cost a lot of money.
Flour and sugar are basic, and money is needed to distribute sets of shirts and underwear.
In that village, a feast should be prepared and makgeolli and pajeon (green onion pancakes) should be served.
“······.”
It is clear that the collusion between politics and business and the corruption that the president has criticized will lead to a rigged election.
No one could speak the truth in front of the president.
* * *
A foundation was formed on the spot.
Named ‘Saemaul Foundation’.
Annual operating costs were set at 10 billion won.
“Participate voluntarily, voluntarily!”
The chief of security at the Blue House shouted loudly.
“I won’t force you! So do it with all your heart, with all your heart!”
Samhwang Group agreed to put up 1 billion won, Hyunmu Group agreed to put up 1.2 billion won, and Wookwang Group agreed to put up 8 billion won.
Hyunmoo Group has been firmly stamped out by the Apgujeong Hyunmoo Apartment preferential sale scandal.
Because it was Wookwang Group that was pointed out as the main culprit of the construction stock market turmoil.
The Chief of Staff to the President compiled a list of donors.
“Tae-seong······.”
“for a moment.”
The head of the central government covered the list of donors with his hand.
The chief of staff of the Blue House stopped writing with a fountain pen and raised his head.
The vice minister nodded toward Chairman Cha.
“I think it would be better to meet with Your Majesty first before making a list of donors.”
“yes?”
“To the state guest room.”
The state guest room was only open to the heads of conglomerates who had donated 500 million won.
The president sat down there and declared that he would personally check on the faces of the big donors.
“But I still have to donate······.”
“So. Of course, you prepared an excuse for immunity, right?”
The head of the central government slightly raised the corners of his lips.
“Taeseong’s brain was just sent to the VIP room, so wouldn’t it be better to hurry and go?”
“Chief of Staff?”
The Chief of Staff to the President was so surprised that he summoned the Chief of Staff.
“The VIP room cannot be accessed without a donation of 500 million won or more······.”
“I am Kim Jae-guk.”
The Chief of Staff looked down at the Chief of Staff of the Blue House with cold eyes.
“Is this the kind of person who can’t even tolerate this level of flexibility?”
“No way.”
The chief of staff of the Blue House immediately gave up.
The prime minister has been enjoying the president’s favor recently.
Because we arrested Kim Hyung-won, closed the Korai Gate, and took control of the Busan area by defeating the armed guerrillas that had appeared in Busan.
So, the Chief of Staff to the President had no choice but to readily make a concession.
‘The head of the central government is openly using his power to suppress people!’
Other conglomerate heads who were waiting in line to donate to the Saemaul Foundation could not hide their surprise.
‘Is that also for Chairman Taesung Cha?’
‘A man who has never shown such open favoritism until now······. Why all of a sudden?’
The head of the central government spoke calmly.
“If you refuse my offer······.”
“No way. I should be grateful. Thank you, Manager.”
Chairman Cha greeted him politely.
The chief of staff also guided us with polite gestures.
“Then go.”
“Yes, please.”
“President of Taesung Construction. Where is he?”
“Yes? Yes. My name is Lee Gyeong-seok from Taesung Construction.”
“Come with me. His Majesty is waiting.”
“······!”
The Chief of Staff personally took Chairman Cha to the VIP room at the Blue House.
President Lee Gyeong-seok, who was half-asleep, followed with a look of disbelief on his face.
The heads of conglomerates who watched this scene opened their mouths wide.
‘Tae-seong was invited to the VIP room by even the president of the construction company?’
‘I never thought that one of the five most powerful people in this country would volunteer to be a guide.’
‘Chairman Cha of Taesung Group, who is known for being bad at politics······. What kind of tricks did he use?’
Taesung Group Chairman Cha often received poor treatment and neglect compared to the sincerity with which he donated.
Since when did that become a normal sight?
It has become a familiar treatment among people from wealthy families.
But what is this?
‘I didn’t donate a single penny, yet I’m receiving such special privileges.’
‘Is it because Taesung Construction is the only one that is leading the way even amidst the construction stock market turmoil?’
‘Even when Taesung was dominating the stock market with his unrivaled technological prowess, he was never able to avoid being treated coldly?’
The chief of security at the Blue House suddenly showed his face.
“What did Kim Jae-guk just say?”
The chief of staff at the Blue House started hiccuping in surprise.
“Before creating the donation list······.”
“What about donations? Do you think I came running here just to hear that?”
The chief of security at the Blue House lost his temper.
It was an unbelievable attitude for someone who had just been openly extorting donations, shouting, “Voluntarily!” and “With all my heart!”
“Who did you think arrived?”
“They say Taesung’s brain has arrived.”
“Taeseong’s brain? Where is it?”
“I heard you went straight into the VIP room.”
“oh!”
The chief of security at the Blue House quickly waved his hand and called in the deputy minister of security.
“Take care of this and clean up! I have to go to the VIP room.”
“yes!”
The chief of security at the Blue House left the banquet hall without looking back.
The heads of conglomerates opened their eyes wide at the unexpectedly hurried footsteps.
Among them, Chairman Cho of Geumjo Group and Chairman Park of Cheongwol Group paid particular attention to the sight.
“So, did you say that Geumjo Group had 300 million?”
“Let’s do 500 million.”
“Cheongwol Island is worth 500 million.”
Leaving the Chief of Staff of the Blue House behind, the two chairmen ran out of the dinner hall.
Towards the state guest room.
Swish.
A transparent black shadow rose like smoke and peeked into the banquet hall of the Blue House.
He then disappeared silently towards the state guest room.
