The Highest Level Son of a Chaebol Family - Chapter 330



Only Noblemtl

330. I’m done, hoohoo!

Inside the car heading to Cheongwon-gak in Seongbuk-dong.

The Myeongdong Songgolmae and Maljukgeori Maldaegai sitting side by side in the backseat had solemn expressions on their faces.

The Myeongdong Songgolmae muttered to itself.

“He is a great man… … .”

“Absurdly.”

Even the head of the horse immediately nodded in agreement.

“When on earth did the owner of Cheongwon-gak boil it again?”

“That’s true. That shaman lady is no ordinary person.”

“I didn’t know you would hand over your fairy so obediently.”

The Inwangsan Seonnyeo Bodhisattva had a lot of money, a wide network of connections, and a strong support system, so she probably had nothing to be sorry about.

“You think I can hand over control of Cheongwon-gak in one phone call? No questions asked.”

“Thanks to you, I just found out that there is a room in Cheongwon-gak that can be wiretapped.”

“Even when dealing with our master, no, our lord, he secretly showed respect and fear.”

“That’s why I was flustered. It was the first time I saw that shaman lady acting so humble.”

The attitude of the Bodhisattva Fairy of Inwangsan was unusual.

It was surprising to see him bend down and go in, trembling as if he was facing the grim reaper.

The Inwangsan Seonnyeo Bodhisattva was someone who did not bow down to even the elders of Jeongdongjin.

“What on earth is the master thinking when he tells me to meet those little brats?”

“I would hate to give those guys even a single piece of meat!”

“What can I do? I heard the master is getting a lot of money out of those guys again.”

That’s why.

If not, the Myeongdong Songgolmae and Maljukgeori Maldaegae, who grind their teeth at the mere mention of Japan, would not have gone to meet them so obediently.

“I can’t even begin to imagine what the big picture is that the Master is looking at.”

“Falcon, you too?”

“What on earth are you going to do with those guys who rush in and try to extort money after hearing that Mr. Jeong Dong-jin passed away?”

“But you know, I have this strange, vague belief that everything will come true just as the Master said.”

The eyes of the horse-riding horse were shining with anticipation.

It was the same with the Myeongdong Songolmae.

“You too, Maldari?”

“That’s really strange. No matter how much I think about it, no matter how many times I try to fix it, I still think, ‘This doesn’t make sense.’”

The arch-enemies who had been growling and clawing at each other their entire lives had the same expression on their faces.

“In my head, in my judgment, in my experience, I came to the conclusion that it was absolutely impossible. But that’s not the case here.”

The horse’s head pounded his chest with his fist.

“My heart, my intuition and my instincts are screaming, ‘What if this works?’”

“Arthur. Did you get so good at gambling that you robbed the master?”

“… … AC!”

“But strangely enough, you’re not the only one who feels this way. I feel the same way, too.”

“Falcon, you too?”

The Myeongdong Songgolmae smiled meaningfully.

“Are you sure our little master is a great gambler?”

When I first entered the pawn shop, all the things I had confidently said came true.

All the words he spoke about coming to the New Year’s Eve party with an invitation and proposing a deal came true.

Even when I was beaten up for running an errand worth 100 million won.

“I’ve never heard him say anything nonsense.”

Of course, when I visited my master’s maternal home village, and even when I had a conversation with the elders of Jeongdongjin.

Make decisions in an instant and push through like a bulldozer.

“It’s just unbelievable that everything was done under meticulous calculation.”

“Anyway, he is truly an amazing person… … .”

“Amazing.”

So, no matter what the two of them said, they ended up ending it with the same exclamation.

Myeongdong Songgolmae opened his mouth in a serious voice.

“But this time it won’t be easy.”

“I agree.”

“Those weaklings who are like that won’t follow their master’s will obediently.”

“Unless those kids are crazy. Of course they’d be foaming at the mouth and running wild.”

The horse-headed man snorted.

“It’s nothing more than inheritance tax and gift tax. It’s not going to be easy.”

inheritance tax.

How much bonds and corporate shares does Jeong Dong-jin have in Japan?

If the successor of the Jeong family were to inherit it, they would have to prepare a huge inheritance tax.

“Isn’t it taxes that those bastards are desperately tearing away at with their eyes wide open?”

Japan’s inheritance tax rates are notoriously high.

No wonder it is called the country with the highest inheritance tax rate among major OECD countries.

Japan’s inheritance tax and gift tax are structured into eight progressive rates ranging from 10% to 55%.

“If those guys are determined to rip you off, you won’t even be able to recover half of your assets in Japan, right?”

“If I can salvage half of it, that would be great. Maybe not even a single crumb will fall.”

That was the reason why the faces of the Myeongdong Songgolmae and the Maljukgeori Maldaegari were so serious.

“Japan is a country where the government is determined to take the lead in destroying conglomerates.”

The characteristic of Japanese conglomerates was that they were conglomerates based on banks and holding companies.

After World War II, the United States imposed various restrictions on Japan in an attempt to collapse its economy so that it would never start a war again.

The dismantling of conglomerates was also part of this effort.

“They will probably be the first to try to seize the bank’s shares.”

Mr. Jeong Dong-jin made his fortune by lending money to Japanese people in Japan.

Japan also needed a lot of money to restore the country after the war, and Jeong Dong-jin actively operated private loans at this time and amassed a great deal of wealth.

In this way, Jeong Dong-jin was standing firmly in the footsteps of a Japanese bank and a conglomerate based on a holding company.

“Then they will threaten to hand over the Japanese holding company’s shares.”

It was obvious as expected.

“Otherwise, there would be no reason for those motherfuckers to come all the way here under the pretext of paying their respects to a deceased elder!”

“When the old man was alive and well, those little brats who couldn’t even make a sound and were just watching the situation!”

“Those damn kids who were always waiting for an opportunity to take advantage of the old man’s condition, even while he was sick!”

“As soon as the old man passed away, they came rushing in like this as if they had been waiting!”

They both clenched their fists and gritted their teeth.

Just thinking about what would happen next made my teeth grind.

Squeak.

“This is Cheongwon-gak.”

In the meantime, we arrived at our destination.

Myeongdong Songgolmae and Maljukgeori Maldaegari closed their car doors nervously.

Almost at the same time, someone got out of the car on the other side.

Jeong-hyeok appeared, neatly dressed in a nobleman’s attire.

“Master!”

“I’ll be watching this in the next room.”

Yoo Jong-tae came carrying a wooden chest densely packed with all kinds of ledgers and documents.

“I only brought back the things that were specifically related to Japan from the things I recovered from the old man’s residence.”

“Have you found any useful information?”

“It seems like quite a lot?”

Frankly, it seems like there are more than enough threats.

They were all dazzling gold!

Jeonghyeok took the lead leisurely.

“If the conversation goes well, please contact me separately using the individual line written on the guestbook card.”

“yes!”

“If you feel like you can’t communicate, don’t worry about the consequences and just fight it out. Hehehe!”

Jeonghyeok’s smile was meaningful.

Thanks to this, the two rascals who had been rolling around in back alleys their entire lives and experienced all kinds of hardships could easily notice.

‘Okay! Master wants some hot patu!’

‘I don’t want to have to fight with those little brats for so long.’

So, the Myeongdong Songgolmae and Maljukgeori Maldaegari could answer loudly.

“Yes, Master! Trust me and leave it to me!”

“I’m confident in a hot fight and a senseless brawl!”

“Very good. Woohoohoo!”

Yoo Jong-tae shook his head.

That was because whenever Jeong-hyeok made that ‘Woohoohoo!’ sound, the other person would always grab the back of their neck or burst out in laughter.

* * *

As expected.

The Japanese mourners, divided into two teams, behaved as expected.

The Japanese embassy staff and the leader and senior members of the Japanese Liberal Democratic Party that Myeongdong Songolmae was supposed to deal with immediately sat down and began to slouch with arrogant expressions.

“Okay, are you ready for the inheritance tax? Hehehe.”

As expected, the first thing he said was inheritance tax.

A smile that couldn’t be hidden lingered on his oily face.

Everyone opened their mouths like a machine gun as if they had been waiting.

“Do you know anything about Japan’s inheritance tax rates?”

“If it is inherited by a foreigner, the process is much more complicated than for a domestic person, and there will be a steep additional tax.”

“It’s going to be a lot more than I expected. Do you think you can handle it?”

“If you don’t have enough money, giving up the inheritance is also a good idea. Hahaha.”

What happens if you renounce your inheritance?

It was said that Japan would swallow up all that wealth without even naming an heir by following the Jeong family’s ledger.

“If you have done business in Japan and acquired assets from Japanese people, then the succession should be done according to Japanese law.”

“We at the National Tax Agency (NTA) of Japan have decided to thoroughly collect every single 1 yen coin after holding a special deliberation committee on this matter.”

“Furthermore, since this is an issue that has been the subject of many suspicions, I will have the Tokyo District Public Prosecutors Office Special Investigation Department take charge and investigate it without a single doubt.”

Naturally, the Myeongdong Songgolmae couldn’t help but let out a gruff sound.

“Why is the Tokyo District Public Prosecutors Office Special Investigation Division involved in discussing inheritance tax?”

“Let’s say it’s a joint investigation with the Japanese National Tax Agency.”

“The tax investigation hasn’t even started yet, and you’re already talking about tax evasion?”

“This world isn’t like that. It’s frustrating for a gentleman who knows the truth, tsk.”

Japanese officials laughed shamelessly.

After that, all that came out of their mouths was nonsense and bullshit.

“Are you going to find every fault with me and extort money from me?”

“There is nothing to be afraid of. Our National Tax Agency and the Tokyo District Public Prosecutors Office Special Investigation Division are the representative organizations of Japan that are honest, upright, and fair, and do not touch the innocent.”

This is funny.

There is no organization among the government agencies that can be said to be clean, honest, and fair.

Regardless of East or West, past or present.

“You can just shake it off and there won’t be any dust, but why are you so angry already? Like you have a sting in your neck?”

“That is the law of the land, that is the law of the land. This is something that cannot be helped.”

The Japanese ambassador and senior administration officials made a lot of noise.

The leader and senior members of Japan’s Liberal Democratic Party also joined in.

“There is one way to avoid the tax investigation by the Japanese National Tax Agency and the investigation by the Tokyo District Public Prosecutors Office Special Investigation Division.”

It was a gentle voice.

Although I could clearly see through his intentions, I had no choice but to ask.

“What is it?”

“You know. Hahaha.”

Make a circle with your fingers and shake them.

It was a call for money.

“Do you mean to spread bribes up and down?”

“Let’s think positively. We can’t avoid heavy taxation anyway.”

“It’s hard to avoid being penniless, so wouldn’t it be better to avoid prison time? This is some special advice I have for your leader.”

The Myeongdong Songgolmae swallowed the curses that were rising to the tip of his tongue.

I was on the verge of exploding.

Inside, the voices of ‘These fucking beggars!’ and ‘These bastards with no conscience or morals!’ were echoing.

However, Myeongdong Songgolmae gritted his teeth and continued to convey the message he had been asked to convey.

“Our master told us not to bother with inheritance tax and gift tax any more, as he intends to pay them strictly according to Japanese law.”

“Hahahaha! Is this really naivety or stupidity?”

The Japanese mourners simultaneously burst into laughter.

“Our master is a man who repays kindness with kindness and malice with malice, and is satisfied only when he repays more than he has received.”

“Hahaha, you have guts, don’t you?”

The laughter grew louder.

“He also said that he is a god who does not avoid fights that come first. He hopes that they will end it on good terms.”

“I’m too weak to follow in Jeong Dong-jin’s footsteps. Hahaha!”

The Japanese mourners laughed breathlessly.

The cheerful mockery continued as if they had met a formidable opponent.

“This is going to be a lot easier than I thought.”

“It was worth waiting patiently until Jeong Dong-jin died.”

“You haven’t produced a successor for ten years. So there must have been a good reason for that?”

Despite the laughter, Myeongdong Songgolmae continued to speak stubbornly.

“If you don’t want to see Japan turned upside down, if you don’t want everyone here to lose their families, then you should do it in moderation.”

Japanese mourners slapped the table with their palms, grabbed their bellies, and laughed.

“A ruined family? Japan turned upside down?”

“This is so funny I can’t stand it, hahaha!”

“You were a kid who dreamed really big!”

“Even Jeongdongjin can’t do something like that. What do you know to say something so loud?”

“Since I inherited the Jeong family, it seems like the whole world is at my feet? This is it. Hahaha!”

Myeongdong Songgolmae finished it off with a solid finish.

“He warned me that Japan was none of my business and that I should behave properly.”

“Even the behavior thing? Hahaha!”

Laughter erupted not only in the room where Songgolmae of Myeongdong entered.

Even in the room where the three biggest yakuza bosses in Japan and executives of the Japan Business Federation gathered, loud laughter erupted.

“It seems like the successor to Jeong Dong-jin has a lot of guts.”

“He has good guts, but there seems to be a problem with his head.”

The leader of Japan’s Liberal Democratic Party made a rather deliberate gesture of tapping his head with his finger.

“If you have a proper brain, you won’t be able to deliver such a crude threat. It’s not as easy to mess with us as you might think.”

They were the powerful.

The Liberal Democratic Party of Japan has enjoyed power for so long that it is called Japan’s absolute party.

In addition, Japanese ambassadors and high-ranking administrative officials were also great men who controlled Japan.

“If you don’t want to be dragged off to a Japanese prison, you should get on your knees and beg first. Where are you getting the arrogance from?”

The leader of Japan’s Liberal Democratic Party grabbed Songolmae of Myeongdong by the collar.

“Who do you think sent us to Korea? It was the Japanese Prime Minister!”

If Korea has a president, Japan has a prime minister.

The leader of the Liberal Democratic Party looked down at the Songolmae in Myeongdong with arrogant eyes.

“Go tell the head there. It would be better for your health if you quietly write a waiver of inheritance.”

It was a domineering voice.

“You’re trying to act like Jeong Dong-jin, you little brat? If you don’t want to leave this world without anyone knowing, you should lie down flat and bark like a dog. You little brat.”

Bam!

The Myeongdong Songgolmae immediately slapped away the hand that was grabbing his collar.

“The negotiations have broken down.”
