The Highest Level Son of a Chaebol Family - Chapter 276



Only Noblemtl

The vision the Grim Reaper was showing was briefly cut off.

I crossed my arms.

‘It’s brutal.’

They say that during the military dictatorship, if the president got angry, he would hit the cheek of the conglomerate leader with his slipper.

I was surprised again.

‘The heads of the top and seventh largest conglomerates in the business world were dragged away right before our eyes, and no one could even say a word and just tremble in fear.’

I didn’t even dare to challenge the president’s authority.

It has already been 15 years since the military coup and the subsequent constitutional amendment that led to the seizure of power, so it was understandable.

‘Unlike the head of Samhwang Group who was able to buy an indulgence with 1 billion won, the head of Kookchun Group was dragged into the central government.’

I clicked my tongue.

‘If money can buy your life, then buy it. A rich gentleman is really······.’

It was a behavior worse than that of Taesung Construction’s executive director Oh Jeong-seop, who was active in Iran.

It is said that the Kookchun Group is also known to be as bad at politics as Taesung.

‘No matter how clueless I am, I didn’t know it would be that bad.’

What was the decisive reason for the dissolution of the former Kookchun Group?

It was because of the group leader’s thoughtless words and actions.

In a situation where the government is already out of favor because the sincerity is woefully inadequate compared to the scale and the payment is made in the form of promissory notes instead of cash.

He was late in responding to the Blue House’s summons for the conglomerate leaders, and was completely outed after making remarks that immediately sided with the opposition party.

As soon as the president made up his mind and decided to go for it, the 7th largest conglomerate in the world collapsed overnight.

‘In the past, did the Kookchun Group fail after the smuggling king disappeared?’

Because the protection of the smuggling king, the big shot who ruled Busan, has disappeared.

‘They all rushed in like a pack of hyenas and happily devoured it.’

Politics always costs money.

It was also a power struggle.

To fill the bellies of the subordinate forces that have achieved great success.

They must have needed a big prey like the Kookchun Group.

‘But the smuggling king who was the shield of the nation has now become my man.’

The smuggling king who had been providing solid cover for the Kookchun Group has already left for the United States a long time ago.

They are looking for an investment to manage 5 billion dollars.

Also, to decipher the code on the Saudi certificate of title that was said to have been discovered while digging up Kim Hyung-won’s story.

‘How will Kookchun Group overcome this difficulty?’

I suddenly became curious.

But, it is a conglomerate that has risen to 7th place in the business world, so wouldn’t it have at least one hidden trick?

‘Actually, the one that was most at risk this time was Wookwang Construction. However, Wookwang seems to have avoided trouble thanks to the 800 million won that Chairman Kim Dae-sik generously donated.’

Wookwang Construction, which has been suffering from repeated plunges after the construction stock market crash, has been cited as a threat to the stock market.

The president’s criticism faded in the face of the 800 million won donation.

The president’s pockets were the only ones benefiting from the construction stock market crash.

‘But why did the Chief of the Central Government show favor to Taesung first?’

It was unexpected.

I thought I’d take my grandfather to the state room before I wrote down the donation list.

I can guess why the donation was delayed.

‘Once you give money, it’s hard to get it back.’

When I enter my pocket, I love you, welcome!

“Hey buddy, aren’t you eating? (Hey, buddy. Aren’t you eating?)”

Mansour looked back at me as he slurped down the soup from the cup ramen container.

“This cup ramen, the broth is really amazing.”

Finally, he let out a thick “Khuh!” sound and gulped down the water with a very satisfied look on his face.

You can tell just by looking at his long tongue sticking out while panting, his fanned hand, his flushed face, and the sweat dripping down his face.

“Is it that spicy?”

“No? This is just a difference in food culture.”

Just pretending to be strong.

Mansour took out a napkin with an arrogant expression.

It’s like when was the last time you drank a whole bowl of ramen soup?

He took off his mask and dabbed the corners of his mouth with a napkin.

“Can we sell this in our country too? Is it possible to export it?”

“It hasn’t been halal certified yet?”

Halal means ‘permissible’ in Arabic.

So, halal food is food permitted in Islam.

“Oh, halal!”

In Islam, there are no special regulations regarding fruits, grains, vegetables, or seafood.

In contrast, meat was treated strictly.

“Why are you so sad again?”

I gave a businesslike smile.

“Isn’t meat slaughtered in the Dabiha style allowed?”

This means that you can slaughter permitted animals using Islamic slaughtering methods.

“How about building a food factory in the United Arab Emirates, in accordance with your country’s culture and regulations?”

“Oh, that’s really good?”

It had a refreshing appearance.

“Your country is too dependent on oil. Diverse industries need to grow, but they are not.”

The United Arab Emirates was a fairly significant oil producer.

Among them, Abu Dhabi not only occupies the largest area among the seven emirates of the United Arab Emirates, but also accounts for 94% of oil production.

“We have an abundance of oil now so we can live comfortably, but how long will it be difficult to continue selling only oil?”

This was also a common concern among oil-producing countries.

It was a national problem that Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and many other countries in the Middle East were struggling with.

“The future of the Middle East will depend on how the money from selling oil is managed.”

You can tell by looking at Mansour’s actions.

‘I operated a sovereign wealth fund based on oil and invested here and there.’

The same was true of Saudi Arabia’s Mohammed bin Salman Al Saud.

In times of oil shortage, the country has made aggressive investments using its sovereign wealth fund and focused on building new cities.

“The suggestion to build a factory in Taesung is not an empty promise.”

We were planning to build a military factory in the US and supply it anyway.

There’s no law that says we can’t build factories in the Middle East, right?

“As expected! I knew you could communicate!”

“Drink it. It’s perfect for sipping.”

I quickly stuck a straw into the banana milk and held it out.

Since its launch in 1974, it has been a steady seller loved by Koreans.

There is no lubricant that makes things run as smoothly as pre-applied oil.

“What is this?”

“Banana milk.”

“Hmm, I’m not really a fan of the texture of bananas······ Ugh!”

It’s a bit tricky.

I nudged the straw into the grumbling mouth.

Mansour took a bite with a displeased expression.

Suddenly, my eyes opened wide.

“Wow, what the heck is this?”

I said it was banana milk.

I already told you, why are you asking again?

“It’s absolutely delicious!”

Mansour drank a glass of banana milk.

“Sell this too. Is it exportable?”

“Well, did milk also need halal certification?”

“Damn halal certification!”

Mansour put down the banana milk with a thud.

“There are so many delicious things in Korea.”

Mansour’s eyes flashed like a hyena looking for food.

Because of the board meeting, I had to survive for a few hours on some pills and candy.

I smiled again, this time for business.

“Want one more cup of ramen?”

“Is that okay?”

I didn’t know you’d be this happy.

‘Sales work really has to be done by giving people something to eat.’

When people are hungry, they become picky and picky about things.

While I was pouring hot water into the second cup of ramen.

Mansour cut a new pair of wooden chopsticks in half and rubbed them together with his palm.

With sparkling eyes, I quickly stamped my feet as three minutes passed.

“Why didn’t you make a 1-minute cup ramen?”

“Then you’ll have to give up on the chewy noodles.”

“Such profound meaning!”

Mansour looked around the JH Research Institute cafeteria.

The Emirati attendants who followed Mansour were all smiling and sipping cup ramen, wiping away sweat.

“good night······.”

“What’s so great about cheap cup ramen? You have so much money.”

“When you’re hungry, the best thing to do is eat something delicious. It’s the same whether you’re rich or not.”

That’s right.

By the way,

“The food here is from famous hotels and famous restaurants. Is this okay?”

“They don’t sell large-diameter dot sights there.”

It sounded like the purpose was clear.

Mansour rested his chin on his hand.

“I saw the large-diameter dot site earlier and it was really amazing. The bodyguards were jumping around like kids with excitement.”

“Do you like it that much?”

“Of course! If we arm ourselves with this, Saudi Arabia will be scared too.”

Mansour’s eyes sparkled with ambition.

“What does it mean to be a good friend? To help each other and live together, friend. You sell a lot only to me. You know?”

“That depends on the decision of the leaders of both countries.”

“That’s good news! But it seems like we’ve already made up our minds!”

Mansour poked his thumb over his shoulder.

Deputy Minister of Construction Muhammad was having a heated discussion with his entourage while eating Yukgaejang Bowl Noodles.

“His Majesty the King has granted me diplomatic discretion. He has asked me to stay abroad, gather information, and establish a proper cooperative system.

I heard that earlier too.

It was a telegram telling Mansour to postpone his return, along with news of anti-government protests in Tehran, Iran.

“If we are to have a proper cooperative system, wouldn’t it be establishing diplomatic relations?”

Mansour crossed his arms with an arrogant expression.

“I’ve already contacted my home country about this, and since we’ve personally verified the performance of the large-caliber dot sight for tanks and machine guns, I don’t think there will be any major issues.”

I wish that were the case.

I added slyly, without holding back my business-like smile.

“It’s okay to live now because we have an abundance of oil, but it’s not an empty promise to say that it will be difficult to continue selling only oil.”

“hmm?”

“I think Taesung might be able to help.”

“really?”

“of course.”

I smiled brightly.

“Taeseong is not just about construction, food, and defense. Taeseong······.”

That was when.

Muhammad, the Deputy Minister of Construction, approached me urgently, holding a piece of paper in his hand.

He glanced at me and then looked lost in thought again.

I shrugged.

“There’s nothing a little kid like me can do, and complaining to my superiors won’t really change anything, right?”

Only then did Deputy Minister of Construction Muhammad look noticeably relieved.

“Your Majesty, a response has arrived from home.”

“What did you say?”

“He wants to establish diplomatic relations.”

“also!”

Mansour thumped the table in delight.

“I knew it! It’s ridiculous to be indifferent after seeing a tank with incredible cost-effectiveness and the world’s only large-caliber dot sight for a machine gun!”

“sure.”

Deputy Minister of Construction Muhammad nodded in agreement.

“It is said that His Majesty the King also showed great interest and curiosity. In that sense, it is said that the envoy who will establish diplomatic relations and lead the negotiations boarded a special plane.”

“The envoy and negotiator? Who is coming?”

“His Excellency Murad bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President of the United Arab Emirates.”

Huh?

‘Murad bin Rashid Al Maktoum? No, the ruler of Dubai himself flew all the way to Korea?’

I was also surprised.

Who is Murad bin Rashid Al Maktoum?

He is the emir who transformed Dubai, a small fishing village in the Middle East and a country mostly made up of desert, into an international innovative nation in just 50 years.

‘The man who made Dubai the mecca of tourism and logistics in the Middle East, surpassing Abu Dhabi, the wealthiest city in the United Arab Emirates.’

The tallest building, Burj Khalifa,

Emirates, the world’s number one airline,

7 star hotel Burj Al Arab,

Palm Jumeirah, the world’s first artificial island shaped like a palm tree.

Jebel Ali Port is considered one of the world’s top five maritime hubs.

The creation of an international financial center is also counted among this man’s achievements.

‘If we do this well, we can aim for the Dubai city construction and financial industry, right?’

Dubai accounts for only 4% of the United Arab Emirates’ total crude oil production.

So Dubai dreamed of becoming a city of tourism, logistics, and finance.

Wait, wait a minute!

‘Come to think of it, Murad bin Rashid Al Maktoum······.’

I looked back at Mansour without realizing it.

“Ouch, hot! Ouch, delicious!”

Mansour was busy eating his second cup of ramen with a very happy face.

“What? Why?”

No, just.

That gentleman is your second wife’s father, your future father-in-law.
