The Highest Level Son of a Chaebol Family - Chapter 351
Only Noblemtl
351. Let’s go
I clicked my tongue slightly when I saw the letter that the Southeast Skunk had personally brought.
“You still haven’t come to your senses?”
The gist of this long-winded speech, full of elegant and flowery vocabulary, is this.
Even while exploring the identity of this side, he still maintained an overbearing attitude.
“It was like chasing away a pesky fly.”
The southeast skunk grumbled.
“There’s no problem yet, right? Do you know who brought that letter?”
“Tokyo District Public Prosecutors Office Special Investigation Division, or the National Tax Agency of Japan.”
“How did you know?”
Why don’t you know that?
“Those guys’ threats are all like that.”
For people like us who are in the shadows, public power was a disaster.
Those in power knew it well.
“They said that Nakamura Real Estate’s actions are suspicious and that they will conduct a tax investigation if necessary.”
I knew it.
That’s why the Southeast Skunk caught a plane and immediately rushed to Korea.
“Real estate is a physical asset, so it’s easier to get a hold of it than a loan from a Japanese company.”
I sent it with a stamp on it on purpose to tell you to do so.
That’s why the skunk in the southeast became a skunk.
“He said that if we fight like that, exposing each other’s shortcomings, we will only lose a lot and what will we gain?”
Why is there nothing to gain?
‘I’m thinking of using this opportunity to wash away all the loan sharks and borrowed money under false names and turn them into legal sources of income.’
And that’s not all.
‘The more they rip off the shit line, the less taxes I have to pay and the less pressure I have to put on myself. That way, my position will grow and the threat will diminish.’
In short, it’s a profitable business!
“In that case, let’s give in and shake hands at an appropriate point.”
“Is a 5% cut a reasonable amount?”
Who are you going to stick this on?
Can’t you see that I left out all the talk about foreign surtax and other miscellaneous taxes?
“I heard that it would take a lot of money, manpower, and time to break down the gate.”
Not really. Not really?
Because I just need to take back what the president has already scattered.
There is so much groundwork laid by Korean lobbyists who were caught in the US.
In addition, Mr. Jeong Dong-jin was very meticulous in tracking down bribes.
All I had to do was place a spoonful of rice on a well-prepared table.
“The US House of Representatives suffered so much during the Korea Gate scandal that they would probably be shaking if something from East Asia happened?”
No way.
Rather, isn’t this incident something that will be dealt with with fire in their eyes because of the Korea Gate?
Even though the Korean and US governments quietly covered it up, since it was reported in the media, they will want to clear their name by taking credit.
In times like these, it’s perfect for swaying public opinion by clinging to a foreign gate.
“If we start collecting taxes while we are wasting our energy on useless things, it will be really difficult to avoid criminal punishment.”
“Please tell me so.”
I’d rather not accept that offer.
But the skunks of the southeast showed their reluctance.
“Your Majesty, if the office is robbed and our children are taken away… … .”
“Nakamura Real Estate office is empty.”
“yes?”
“The real estate is closed and a temporary closure notice is posted.”
“Huh? Is that why you write when you’re receiving a salary?”
“I told you to close temporarily. Who gave you a vacation?”
“sure?”
“What is your main job?”
Isn’t real estate management a side job?
“Well, it’s a pachinko parlor… … .”
“Did you send Mr. Jeong Dong-jin to Japan to run a pachinko parlor?”
“It is a management of private loans invested in Japanese companies.”
bingo!
That’s it.
“Take this opportunity to recoup all the private loans you invested in Japanese companies.”
“yes?”
“I need to receive the principal as well as the accumulated interest all at once.”
“Don’t you feel sorry?”
What’s there to be sorry about?
“These days, Japanese companies are doing very well. They are doing very well in the global market and the American market.”
This period was the golden age of Japanese companies.
“I wonder if it is necessary to kill the goose that lays the golden eggs.”
“When it’s time to part, you have to part.”
I said it bluntly.
“Even if it’s a goose that lays golden eggs, what if it doesn’t recognize the person who feeds it and rushes at it?”
“It’s a mortal sin.”
The southeastern skunk grinned.
“If it’s a question of mortal sin, then I am confident.”
The southeastern skunk puffed out its chest.
“I promised you. I will make a big fuss in Japan for more than my life.”
That’s it!
“I wondered why only Japanese companies were left out of the net of corruption that the master had woven, and I will make sure to weave it properly this time.”
This is very sturdy!
Jeonghyeok picked up a Montblanc fountain pen and wrote in one stroke.
It wasn’t written in a long and flowing manner like a letter from the leader of the Liberal Democratic Party.
There was no need for a long explanation.
‘I was planning to throw in some sand since the second oil crisis is about to happen.’
Japan was one of the countries hit hardest by the oil crisis.
During this period, there were many industries that were highly dependent on oil, dominating the global market.
I wonder if I can handle this.
There’s nothing I can do.
Let’s go somewhere!
* * *
Japan Business Federation.
It is a non-profit organization established in 1946 with many major Japanese companies as members.
It is considered one of the representative business groups regarding Japan’s economic policy.
“what?”
Major companies belonging to the Japan Business Federation were turned upside down.
“Pay me the principal and interest by this week?”
“You’re collecting the loan from the Jeong family? All of it?”
“When are you going to get all that money?”
“Are you telling us to go to the mountains now?”
The resentment was intense.
It was because the Jeong family had a strong leader.
Whenever members of the Japan Business Federation gathered, they would put their heads together and denounce it.
“Now is not the time for us to be caught up in something like this!”
“Right now we are fighting hard to dominate the world market!”
“That’s all just empty threats. No matter how stupid you are, you can’t kill the goose that lays the golden eggs!”
Even though I shouted so loudly.
A skunk from the southeast grabbed the chairman of a large corporation by the collar in an abandoned factory workshop.
“You’re telling me to pay you back, why are you talking so much? Do I look like your subordinate?”
“This, this, this, where is this law?”
“Hey, hey, hey, here you are.”
The southeastern skunk grinned.
“Why? When our master passed away, he used to come here and nag and whine. What about the Foreigner Private Debt Freezing Act?”
“Well, wasn’t that ultimately rejected?”
“So I’ll dispose of the loan as you wish. Are you dissatisfied?”
“When disposing of it, give it ample time… … .”
“You want me to look into your situation?”
“Aren’t you the major shareholder of our company? So, just a little bit… … .”
“You hit the back of my head like this?”
The southeastern skunk nodded its head mischievously.
“I told you I’m not the largest shareholder of your company anymore. So give me my money.”
“That, that’s… … !”
“Shall I push the contract over to you?”
The southeastern skunk thrust his face into the air instead of a contract.
“Even at this very moment, interest is piling up.”
From a distance of no more than a fist’s length, the southeast skunk locked eyes.
“Do you want to die?”
“Eek!”
The chairman took a deep breath like a scream as he felt the intense murderous intent overflowing with madness.
“As the chairman, I heard you embezzled a lot of your assets overseas. I can’t believe you say you have no money.”
The smell of perfume was so toxic that I felt like I was suffocating.
“If you borrow money, you have to pay it back. Right?”
“No, I can’t get a bank loan right now… … .”
“That’s none of my business.”
The southeast skunk looked down at the chairman’s body with cold eyes.
“I even signed a body waiver.”
At that time, money was so tight.
I didn’t have any, but I was desperate for investment money.
It was a long time ago.
“Do you want to give up your body or your factory?”
“I, I will give up the factory!”
Kkudang tang tang!
The chairman rolled around on the floor noisily.
The southeastern skunk pulled a crumpled piece of paper from his bosom.
“Stamp it.”
Rub it gently with your fist.
The southeastern skunk grinned.
“Our master believes in documents more than words.”
The chairman signed and stamped his seal with trembling hands.
To the chairman who was looking down with complicated eyes at the part where several valuable affiliates and factories like Altolan were handed over.
The southeastern skunk added nonchalantly.
“You want to get the factory back?”
“yes.”
“Can you extend the recovery period?”
“yes!”
The southeastern skunk folded the loan receipt he had received neatly and put it in his bosom.
Instead, he took out another loan certificate.
“I propose a new deal.”

Two months have already passed.
During this time, the leader of Japan’s Liberal Democratic Party had been going through a very uneasy time.
At first, I was nervous that a terrorist attack might occur.
I was worried that the entire bribery ledger would be exposed in the National Assembly.
That was for a while.
After two months of silence without a counterattack, the leader of the Liberal Democratic Party has been enjoying refreshing days as if an aching tooth had fallen out.
‘I also confirmed that the Nakamura Real Estate office has closed its doors with a sign saying it is temporarily closed, and I am no longer receiving any strange threatening letters to the National Assembly building or my home.’
Before I knew it, the weight I had lost had returned, my belly had become plump again, and oily skin was running down my face.
Even while visiting the Japanese Prime Minister’s Office and having a cup of tea, he seemed relaxed.
“what?”
The Japanese Prime Minister’s face crumpled.
“These guys conspired and stopped donating political funds?”
“Not only that. Well, why don’t you even reject national projects?”
“what?”
The Japanese prime minister looked as if he couldn’t believe the Liberal Democratic Party leader’s words.
“While even rejecting the counteroffer of collusion between politics and business?”
“Isn’t that strange? That’s something that can only happen if you’re crazy.”
The Japanese Prime Minister stamped his foot in frustration.
“Did these guys drink pesticides in groups?”
“That’s what I mean. They are really annoying guys. The Prime Minister should call them all together and give them a warning… … .”
“Prime Minister, please calm down.”
The Prime Minister’s Chief of Staff’s dissuasion was of no use.
“These 100 Japanese companies are suddenly staging a group sit-in protest against the government. Do I look serious right now?”
Bam!
The Japanese Prime Minister jumped up from his seat.
“What’s the reason? There must be a reason for making a fuss!”
The Liberal Democratic Party leader kept his mouth shut and pretended not to know, just sipping his tea.
The Japanese Prime Minister is looking at the Chief of Staff of the Prime Minister’s Office.
He couldn’t hide his embarrassed face.
“They said they had no choice because the major shareholder changed to repay private debt.”
“What the hell are you talking about?”
“It seems that a considerable number of Japan’s top 100 companies have been urged to collect their debts.”
“Is there anyone in business who doesn’t use private loans?”
“After the Pacific War, we borrowed a lot of money to grow the company to this extent, so we accumulated a lot of principal and interest on the loans… … .”
“Interest on the principal? Just for that?”
The Japanese Prime Minister could not hide his bewilderment.
The same was true for the leader of the Liberal Democratic Party.
Only the Chief of Staff to the Prime Minister was at a loss.
“We, Japan, had a lot of difficulties due to our defeat. It was difficult for companies to raise funds through normal means… … .”
“Are you planning to give me a lecture on Japanese economic history? Just get to the point, just get to the point!”
“I heard he handed over his company shares to pay off the debt.”
“so?”
“They say that the problem is that the stake is so large.”
The Japanese prime minister and the leader of the Liberal Democratic Party simultaneously chuckled.
“Anyway, the merchants are joking.”
“The company’s major shareholder has changed.”
“… … .”
The laughter of the Japanese Prime Minister and the leader of the Liberal Democratic Party suddenly stopped.
What does all this mean?
“Who on earth would come up with such an absurd… … .”
“I am Jeong Dong-jin’s successor.”
“… … !”
The mouths of the Japanese Prime Minister and the leader of the Liberal Democratic Party opened wide at the sound of Jeong Dong-jin.
The Chief of Staff to the Prime Minister spoke with a little more emphasis.
“Unlike Jeong Dong-jin, who lent money to companies, made money at interest, and then resold the factories and land, his successor took all of the company shares and pocketed them.”
Instead of asking, ‘How much?’ there was only silence.
If there’s talk of ‘the company’s major shareholder changing’, then it’s said enough.
“It seems that they are consolidating the company shares they have acquired.”
The Japanese Prime Minister’s expression was serious.
The leader of the Liberal Democratic Party glanced at him.
‘I came here to complain that political funding was cut off, but I ended up just causing trouble.’
That was when.
The office door burst open without permission, accompanied by an urgent knock like a woodpecker.
“The revolution in Iran is said to have spread throughout the Middle East, causing widespread anti-government protests!”
The Japanese Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs shouted, gasping for breath.
“Iran enters oil production strike due to revolution!”
