The Highest Level Son of a Chaebol Family - Chapter 375



Only Noblemtl

375. Really, Yugong to our Taeseong?

I wondered why Chairman Cho of the Geumjo Group sent me a map as a gift.

When I unpacked it, I found three coated, high-quality maps.

It was a map of Seoul, a map of the Republic of Korea, and a map of the world.

‘You put a blue sticker on it?’

The stickers pasted in Seoul are in Yeouido and Euljiro.

In the Republic of Korea, there are Seosan reclaimed land and Gwangyang Bay.

World evangelism is focused on the Middle East and Southeast Asia.

“Putting a sticker on a gift map. Isn’t that rude?”

“It is a very important place, so Chairman Cho gave it a special mark.”

Secretary Jang of the Geumjo Group smiled gently.

“If you’re curious, why don’t you show it to your father?”

Now that I look at it, I see you had another intention!

“What is this?”

I farted.

“Because a large number of securities firms from Myeongdong are moving to Yeouido, and a large shopping center is moving into Euljiro.”

The surprised face of Secretary Jang of the Geumjo Group was something to behold.

“Because Seosan is implementing the first private-led reclamation project in the country, and Gwangyang Bay is because of our Taesung Steel Mill.”

“… … !”

“Isn’t it because there is a construction boom in the Middle East and Southeast Asia is being developed as a market?”

“How, how did you… …!”

“If you want to work with Taesung as a business partner, make an honest proposal.”

I took off the blue sticker and tapped it back on.

“My father is a very generous and cool man.”

He rolled up the three maps he had received as a gift and put them back in the cylinder and handed them over.

“In that sense, I will return this gift.”

“yes?”

“Let’s say this is my gift to Chairman Cho of the Geumjo Group.”

Secretary Jang of the Geumjo Group couldn’t hide his puzzled expression.

“Your Majesty, about that sticker. Could you explain what it means… ?”

“If you are curious, you can make a business proposal to Taesung directly.”

I smiled brightly.

“My father is a very capable man, even in business.”

A gift is a gift.

A proposal is a proposal.

I gave back more than I received, so that’s all for me.

I said goodbye politely.

“This is a meaningful sponsorship event, so have a good time.”

“Now, just a moment, your highness!”

Whether Secretary Jang of the Geumjo Group is flustered or not with an expression on his face that says he made a mistake.

I turned my back.

Before I knew it, the teacher was standing right behind me, laughing.

“It seems that Chairman Cho of the Geumjo Group is very sad.”

“There are many overlapping parts with Taesung Construction. It’s understandable to be greedy.”

While Taesung Construction was faltering due to the extravagant management of President Cha Yoon-seong, Geumjo Construction was rising rapidly by taking advantage of the construction boom in the Middle East.

The estimated revenue from the construction of the Jubail Industrial Port alone is approximately $950 million.

It is estimated that Geumjo Construction earned an amount equivalent to half a year’s worth of government funds from the Republic of Korea.

“Why did Chairman Cho of the Geumjo Group send such a proposal through Do-ryun?”

“I’m trying to bait my dad.”

I curled my thumb and index finger into a circle.

“The oil crisis froze over banks and private loan markets.”

“Oh?”

“The Seosan reclaimed land is 16,000 hectares. If you try to eat up 48.4 million pyeong on your own without government subsidies, you can see how difficult it will be for your finances.”

“Whoa!”

The teacher’s eyes narrowed.

“Did you really foresee this and lock it up with a loan shark?”

It’s not like I was specifically targeting the Geumjo Group.

It’s not like I didn’t even think about it.

The original policy was to release private loans during recessions and collect them during booms.

“In fact, wouldn’t a business cooperation with Geumjo Construction be a tempting proposition for Taesung Construction?”

perhaps.

The teacher snickered as he watched Secretary Jang of the Geumjo Group stamp his feet without doing anything.

“How about spending some money while you’re at it and getting a nice chunk out of Geumjo Construction?”

“As of now, I don’t have any particular regrets about Geumjo Construction.”

I laughed, “Uh-huh-huh.”

“There is something else I am aiming for.”

That’s right, Geumjo Automobile!

It was a representative competitor that could stand shoulder to shoulder with our Taesung Motors.

‘It’s about time I started hearing some groans from my uncle’s side too.’

Even though everyone raised their voices in unison that we should prepare for winter in preparation for the oil crisis.

He insisted on growing bigger by purchasing Woo Kwang cars and Woo Kwang heavy equipment.

We have already discussed this.

-If Taesung Motors grows in size like your uncle planned, how much of a hit do you expect it will take when the oil crisis hits?

-It can’t stop at just staggering.

-It will be difficult to avoid bankruptcy. Maybe other affiliates will fall like dominoes.

In my previous life, my uncle had to step down from his position as president of Taesung Motors right after the oil crisis for that very reason.

Taesung Motors’ deficit grew like a snowball.

‘Even without that, the second oil shock will cause oil prices to soar, and the global automobile industry will collapse like dominoes.’

In his previous life, President Shim made a technical alliance with a German automobile company and acquired Saebom Automobile at a low price, thus reviving Taesung Automobile.

We pursued energy efficiency by increasing fuel efficiency through engine technology and reducing the body size.

‘Taesung Motors, how will it overcome this crisis this time?’

I deliberately left my grandfather alone without stopping him.

‘My uncle owns a 3% stake in Taesung Electronics, and my aunt’s maternal family owns a 3% stake in Taesung Electronics.’

Taesung Automobile or Taesung Electronics?

It was up to my grandfather to decide which one to choose.

Life is originally a series of choices, and choices are derived from desire.

‘If there is any seed of conflict over the position of Taesung Group CEO, it should be eliminated in advance.’

I don’t like the idea of ​​family members fighting over management succession.

It’s a common blood feud in chaebol families, but Taesung is a family.

I glanced around the hall.

‘her?’

The face of the person my grandfather was trying to persuade looked familiar.

It was the president of Kumjo Motors and the chairman of Kumjo Group.

As it happened, Chairman Cho of the Geumjo Group turned his head and our eyes met.

Chairman Cho turned his back without any hesitation and headed this way.

‘Hmm.’

But there was someone else who caught Chairman Cho of the Geumjo Group.

It was my uncle.

‘Everyone seems to have a lot of business to ask Chairman Cho of the Geumjo Group.’

The person who actually sent a love call to me by Chairman Cho of the Geumjo Group was my father.

The teacher put something in my hand.

‘What is this? It’s golden?’

It was a very suspicious piece of paper with a golden glow.

“As you expected, the Japanese Prime Minister and his party came to your residence.”

The teacher bent down and whispered softly.

“It’s a bribe.”

“Huh?”

It was refreshing.

“With the carrot of ‘if you become the Prime Minister of Japan, I can help you in a lot more ways than you think.’”

The teacher smiled bitterly.

“He even threatened that it would be as easy to ruin a few companies as it would be to declare a country bankrupt.”

“I like it. I think we can communicate very well.”

“……yes?”

“It was a time when we had to be prepared to take down a few big companies.”

The teacher opened his eyes wide.

Whatever.

“Wouldn’t it be better to have a clean win-win deal rather than a messy, mud-slinging fight?”

“Did you see that far ahead?”

No, why are you looking so surprised?

As if someone had heard something unexpected.

“As expected, our young master, you have seen through even the mind of the Japanese Prime Minister.”

The teacher gave a thumbs up.

The people gathered in the hall were in an uproar.

“Woo-kwang has arrived.”

“The family of the CEO of Wookwang Group and the presidents of Wookwang affiliates are coming.”

The head of Wookwang Group, his family, and his close associates arrived at the hall.

The man walking at the very front was the honorary chairman of Woo Kwang Group, a man with a big limp who was using a cane.

The cold and sharp gaze still seemed the same, then and now.

Grandfather welcomed me with open arms.

“Woo-kwang, it’s been a while. Welcome.”

“Cha Tae-seong, your face has brightened up.”

Wookwang Group Chairman Kim Dae-sik bowed first to greet us.

“It’s been a while, Chairman Cha.”

“Dae-sik, no, now I should call you Chairman Kim. It was hard for you to come here.”

Grandfather shook hands with the young chairman of Woo Kwang.

Then, a young woman came out from behind Woo Kwang Group’s Honorary Chairman Kim Woo Kwang and greeted him.

“It’s been a while, Chairman Cha.”

“Youngseon-ah.”

Yeongseon? Could it be Kim Yeongseon?

I winced and snapped my fingers.

Exactly.

‘Hey, Guardian Angel.’

[Why? What’s going on?]

‘Go over there. It’s Kim Young-sun.’

[Youngseon? Who is that?]

‘The woman who was engaged to my father.’

[Go!]

The grim reaper who particularly likes the soap operas of the chaebol family ran out with his eyes sparkling.

The speed at which it slid like smoke was unusual.

‘Because our father passed away early in our previous life, she remarried Cha Yoon-seong’s divorced eldest son and continued her marriage with Woo-gwang.’

Her grandfather greeted her with a very apologetic expression.

“So, you’re engaged to the nephew of the old chief? When do you plan on having the wedding?”

“It’s May.”

Kim Young-sun handed over the invitation.

“What about Seongjun oppa?”

“Well, where did he go? He must be busy welcoming guests.”

“That’s right. I heard he’s the vice president of Taesung Group.”

Kim Young-sun turned his back and gave a brief greeting.

“I’ll look into it.”

“You don’t have to do that… … .”

“Then excuse me.”

Before her grandfather could stop her, she walked away with her high heels clicking.

Grandfather let out an embarrassed sigh.

“Woo-kwang, aren’t you going to stop me?”

“Didn’t you tell me not to stop it?”

“Chief Noh will be coming too. Is that okay?”

“What if it’s not okay?”

Wookwang Group Honorary Chairman Kim Woo-kwang also let out a bitter smile.

“He complained, asking how we could come to an agreement among ourselves when we were breaking up a seven-year engagement without the other parties involved.”

Honorary Chairman Kim Woo-kwang shrugged.

“You have to be polite even when breaking up. Let the one who brought up the idea of ​​breaking up handle things on his own.”

“… … Shall we have some whiskey together later?”

“The deodeokju was delicious. Do you have any deodeokju?”

“What kind of burdock liquor is that? Shut up and drink ginseng liquor instead.”

The people who had been chattering suddenly became quiet.

“His Excellency the President has arrived!”

The ensemble sounds of the performers and the guest singer’s song stopped at the same time.

Thud, thud, thud, thud.

The president, dressed in a suit, walked ahead.

He was followed by the chief of security at the Blue House and the chief of the Central Intelligence Agency.

The commander of the Army Security Command and his closest aide, Major General Noh, deputy chief of operations at the Blue House security office, were also present.

People held their breath, staring intently at their position.

The questions that came to each face were similar.

-Why did His Excellency the President come to the New Year’s Eve event?

-What’s all this?

The faces of the people following them one after another were all extraordinary.

Vice ministers from each ministry, as well as party leaders and executives from the Republican, Democratic, and Socialist parties, joined the procession.

When the generals of the Army, Navy, and Air Force showed up, everyone was shocked to the point of their jaws dropping.

Grandfather ran out and greeted the President.

“Your Majesty, are you here?”

“hmm.”

The president nodded slightly.

Grandfather guided us to the VIP seats at the front.

“Keep the process as simple as possible.”

The president’s words were heard clearly even though no loudspeaker or microphone was used.

It was because everyone was holding their breath and being quiet.

“What about Taesung’s brain?”

“They must be busy preparing for the guests. I will come over right away.”

The president furrowed his brow in displeasure when he saw the VIP seats.

“A separate room?”

“Shall we take you to the Taesung Hotel Bar?”

The president snapped his fingers.

The chief of security at the Blue House ordered the Blue House security guards around in a loud voice.

“Control upstairs. Check the Taesung Hotel bar and wait there.”

“Yes, I understand!”

The president’s destination has become clear.

The president looked around.

“Is there anyone you are looking for?”

“Isn’t Kim Byeong-sik here?”

“If you are the president of Korea National Oil Corporation, then it is not yet.”

“In the US Gulf Coast?”

The president sat down in the VIP box and folded his arms.

“I told you to send an invitation, didn’t I?”

“That means… … .”

Grandfather swallowed hard.

His expression was stiff and tense.

“You really did a great job for our Taesung… … .”
