The Highest Level Son of a Chaebol Family - Chapter 350
Only Noblemtl
350. Should I stop it?
The leader of Japan’s Liberal Democratic Party was furious.
“The bill to freeze foreign private loans was rejected?”
“Yes, sir.”
“Does this make sense? How many members of our Liberal Democratic Party are there?”
The Liberal Democratic Party was divided.
It was something that had been showing signs for three months already.
“These kids are for real!”
After confirming the threatening letter received from the head of the Jeong family at the National Assembly building.
The bond with the LDP members is not what it used to be.
“In a situation where the Socialist Party bastards are already running wild.”
These days, Socialist Party lawmakers are moving around the political scene like fish in water.
They did not hesitate to use excessive propaganda slogans that caught the public’s attention.
The leader of the Liberal Democratic Party gritted his teeth.
“They’re just pretending to be clean. Do you think I don’t know that everyone else is buying up buildings in Tokyo with their eyes wide open?”
Nakamura Real Estate has started putting up for sale prime real estate properties in Tokyo that it owned.
The leader of the Liberal Democratic Party, like others, also worked hard to buy real estate.
But it failed.
“You missed out on the property put up for sale by Nakamura Real Estate again?”
“Yes. Unfortunately, we were one step late.”
“Surely this time it wasn’t intercepted by JH Investment again?”
“That’s what happened.”
“Oh, shit!”
bang!
The Liberal Democratic Party leader slammed his fist on the desk.
“JH again? What kind of company does that company do?”
“It is an investment firm headquartered in the United States.”
“Why are American investment firms rushing into Japanese real estate?”
“Well, Japanese real estate has high investment value, right?”
Damn! That’s true!
“These days, there is a saying that if you sell land in Tokyo, you can buy the sky in America.”
Over the past three months, real estate prices and rents in Japan have been rising without end.
When you wake up, the price has gone up, and when you come to your senses, it has become so expensive that you gasp.
“They say that the skyrocketing real estate prices in Tokyo are having an impact on the U.S. real estate market as well.”
“Wow… this is incredible.”
The Liberal Democratic Party leader pressed his temples, which were throbbing.
It was a headache.
“A single Japanese real estate company is shaking up the real estate markets in Japan and the United States?”
“I heard that Warren Buffer of Berkshire Hathaway even visited Nakamura Real Estate.”
“Ahhhh… … .”
Even the leader of the Liberal Democratic Party knows that story.
That made me even more annoyed.
“It seems that the Wall Street legend is eyeing Nakamura Real Estate as his next investment target.”
“You said you were treated coldly?”
“So, how can you not care when Warren Buffer is hanging around?”
The aide opened his notebook and recited.
“Trump Group, LaSalle Investments, Real Estate Investment Trust, and Relate Group, which are famous real estate investment companies in the United States, are paying attention to the Japanese real estate market.”
“Oh, really? Specifically, in detail.”
“I heard they’re knocking on Nakamura Real Estate’s door.”
“Nakamura again?”
Is Nakamura Real Estate the only company worth investing in in Japan?
“Nakamura is the only real estate company that offers large properties located in strategic areas of Tokyo.”
Thanks to this, real estate prices have skyrocketed.
“How many Japanese companies are currently ranked in the world market cap? Why are they all making such a fuss about investing in Japanese real estate?”
As competition to buy intensified, real estate prices soared like crazy.
So, even though I brought a lot of money with me, I always end up in vain!
“If investment funds flow into Japanese companies, Japan’s market competitiveness will increase.”
“There are banks that have provided collateral loans to Nakamura Real Estate. I heard that the market cap has jumped significantly thanks to that.”
Nakamura Real Estate again!
“Was Nakamura Real Estate really this big of a company?”
It’s a new experience.
That’s why it was even more surprising.
“I thought it was a mid-sized real estate management company that always took advantage of the Liberal Democratic Party members like a fool?”
“They say the owner has changed.”
“Have you ever heard of such a thing?”
“It seems that Chairman Nakamura Real Estate is retiring and will be passing the company on to his successor.”
“Oh, then I have to pay gift tax!”
The Liberal Democratic Party leader’s eyes lit up.
“It wouldn’t be a penny or two, would it?”
The calculator in my head was busy turning.
Given the recent trend of skyrocketing real estate prices in Tokyo.
When you consider the amount of real estate properties that Nakamura Real Estate has on the market.
“Hahaha, we can collect a ton of taxes.”
The thought of extorting money kept making me laugh sinisterly and meanly.
‘I guess I’ll have to ask them to give me back a few buildings in Tokyo in exchange for reducing the gift tax.’
I must demand not only my share, but also that of my subordinates.
‘If we take away the share of the party officials who have become estranged from each other, we can win their loyalty again.’
Everyone would have been delighted if they heard that Nakamura Real Estate owned a building in a strategic location in Tokyo.
The relationship that was strained because of the head of the Jeong family may be mended.
So I can’t help but laugh.
“So, who is the next president of Nakamura Real Estate?”
“that is…….”
The aide had an embarrassed look on his face.
“Sir, do you remember who was entrusted with the management of Nakamura Real Estate?”
“Who is that?”
“The Southeast Skunk. He is the closest aide to the deceased Jeong Dong-jin.”
“what?”
The Liberal Democratic Party leader was so embarrassed that he couldn’t speak for a moment.
“… … No?”
A cold sweat ran down my back.
I had a bad feeling.
An instinctive sense of danger and ominous intuition seeped into me.
The Liberal Democratic Party leader tried to catch his breath.
“Chairman Nakamura Real Estate, could it be that he was Jeongdongjin…?”
“I don’t think that’s the case, seeing as there are talks of retirement.”
“Whew. I’m… … .”
“By the way, the person who is said to be the successor to Nakamura Real Estate sent me this.”
What the aide handed me was a letter.
The Liberal Democratic Party leader quickly snatched up the letter.
What did I just see?
The Liberal Democratic Party leader rubbed his eyes with the back of his hand.
Even when I looked at it again, it was the same letters, the same seal.
“Why is this seal stamped here?”
“that is…….”
The aide handed me another large envelope of documents.
The Liberal Democratic Party leader seized on it.
The enclosed document was quite thick.
“her?”
The Liberal Democratic Party leader looked through the documents with surprised eyes.
It was a document that could not be compared to the photos of his affair that were posted on the wall of the National Assembly building.
“This, this, this is why… … ?”
The hand that had been nervously searching through the enclosed document crumpled the paper.
“How does this guy know about the bribes and where the money was used by Northcorp?”
This was clear evidence of bribery and embezzlement.
The leader of the Liberal Democratic Party momentarily lost consciousness.
The leader of the Liberal Democratic Party checked the very end of the document.
My hands were shaking.
Bam!
The leader of the Liberal Democratic Party could no longer stand it and got up from his seat.
The look in his eyes as he looked at his aide was unusual.
“What the heck is going on!”
The old man burst out like lightning.
“If this is a document sent by the successor to Nakamura Real Estate, why does it have the Jeong family seal on it?”
“that is…….”
“Why haven’t you been able to speak properly since earlier and why can’t you just say ‘That’s… . . ’?”
“That’s… … , so… … .”
The aide shut his eyes tightly and shouted.
“It seems that the successor to Nakamura Real Estate is the same person as the head of the Jeong family!”
“what?”
“Or perhaps the successor to Nakamura Real Estate completely surrendered to the head of the Jeong family.”
no way…….
No, I don’t think so.
“Otherwise, I wouldn’t have stamped it and sent it.”
No, it won’t be.
Absolutely not!
“Mr. Leader, if the bribery situation related to Northcorp is really revealed to the world… … .”
The aide wiped the cold sweat with trembling hands.
“A second Lockheed Gate will open.”
The Liberal Democratic Party leader bit his thumbnail.
It was a habit from my childhood.
As the son-in-law of a politician, he came out again in a crisis situation, completely useless, as he had been able to rely on the power behind him.
“Mr. Leader, the Socialist Party leader’s actions are not normal right now.”
The Liberal Democratic Party leader’s thumbnail cracked and fell off.
The footsteps of those walking back and forth to the office also became faster.
It was a gait that looked anxious.
“If the Socialist Party clings to this… … .”
“No. Was I the only one who received the bribes from Northcorp? Was our Liberal Democratic Party the only one who received them? The Socialist Party, the Communist Party, and the Democratic Party all received them!”
“But, Mr. Leader, we don’t have any evidence that they took bribes from Northcorp.”
The aide pointed to a bundle of documents he had handed to the Liberal Democratic Party leader.
“What if they have the entire bribe ledger? What if they expose it only for us?”
It is entirely possible.
“What will happen if we, the Liberal Democratic Party, are accused of being a party stained with corruption?”
The Liberal Democratic Party leader’s face turned pale.
“Can you hold off the attacks from inside and outside?”
“shit!”
The dizzying steps of the Liberal Democratic Party leader suddenly stopped.
The Liberal Democratic Party leader leaned against the wall to support his staggering body.
“Right now, the media… …!”
“Of course it’s been blocked. It’s been almost three months already.”
“Convene the Liberal Democratic Party members and call the leaders of the Socialist, Communist, and Democratic Parties… … .”
“Public opinion is not good.”
“We have to stop it somehow!”
The leader of the Liberal Democratic Party shouted.
“Shut your mouth, regardless of the means and methods!”
Ring ring!
The phone rang louder than the old voice of the Liberal Democratic Party leader.
The Liberal Democratic Party leader, whose head was already in a throbbing pain, swore harshly.
Ring ring! Ring ring!
The Liberal Democratic Party leader picked up the phone nervously.
-it’s me.
“Your Majesty, Prime Minister!”
It was a call from the Japanese Prime Minister.
-How on earth do you do your work!
A loud noise came over the phone.
-Who the hell are you messing with!
On the other end of the phone, a loud ‘bang!’ could be heard as the desk was kicked.
-A member of the US House of Representatives told me! They are deliberately spreading information about Northcorp’s huge bribes and corruption in the defense industry in Japan!
The Prime Minister’s old voice sounded dull, like the wind passing by my ears.
-What kind of international embarrassment is this! Don’t you know how Japan was turned upside down during the Lockheed incident?
It’s not realistic.
I felt like I was out of my mind.
-If I get dragged into court like the former prime minister, you too will be ruined and have your assets confiscated like the former party leader!
The Liberal Democratic Party leader turned his dazed eyes away.
The stationery spread out on the desk was mocking him.
Among them, one phrase was engraved into my cornea.
