Chapter 117

Gifts and Bribes Are Strictly Different

“How on earth doing such thoughts? Sometimes hard to believe if this guy is really eight years old?”

Chairman Cha rubbed his eyes and read again.

Even knowing clearly that the same even looking again, couldn’t help but do so.

“The method of pulling the central intelligence director and army security commander to our side. What is that.”

Chairman Cha organized thoughts carefully while pacing the chairman’s office.

“No matter how rolling the head, don’t know. If this is a money-making business, would have recalled dozens of strategy methods and still remained. Tsk.”

Chairman Cha crumpled the brows tightly.

Even flattery has skill, bribes have timing, and baking has knack.

Chairman Cha was a born merchant but couldn’t become a born politician.

The Blue House security chief’s evaluation was also not very different.

-The sound that don’t hang only on business foolishly and you also need to properly utilize requests.

-Detach the money pouring saying technology development, facility investment and oil up and down evenly a bit. Because handling so tightly, Taeseong can’t grow only up to there.

-What sound that His Excellency didn’t chase Taeseong even though you handle so stiffly like this? The words that His Excellency is seeing moderately.

-Not all just because business well. Do only like today. Then His Excellency will also see prettily.

From Chairman Cha’s mouth, a groaning sound came out naturally.

“Certainly the head rolling this side, Jeong-hyeok is one level above me the words.”

Chairman Cha quietly put down the crumpled note.

“Secretary Kim, does it seem I’m blocking Jeong-hyeok’s management because of resentment?”

“No way. But Young Master Jeong-hyeok’s position is also understood.”

“Of course so. Why wouldn’t I know that feeling? Would have heard the same as the words of buying a toy and saying don’t play with it.”

Chairman Cha sighed small.

“A decision made for Jeong-hyeok, for Taeseong.”

“According to this affiliate acquisition, the shares and influence change greatly. So the Taeseong management rights fight becoming full-scale is an unavoidable matter.”

“I know. We’re not only one son like U-gwang, and not treating daughters as outsiders who left the house.”

What Chairman Cha was worrying was that.

“Even if fighting when fighting, can’t put an eight-year-old grandson at the very front of the battlefield that will clearly become the arrow receiver.”

Originally war is basic to collapse from the weakest part first.

“Have to buy time until Seong-jun ripens a bit more, until Jeong-hyeok grows a bit more.”

“Would the Young Master have demanded management rights not knowing even such things?”

Secretary Kim pointed at the employment contract subtly.

“Beside Young Master Jeong-hyeok, President Shim and the Taeseong Construction executives are holding out. Try trusting and entrusting.”

“Hmm.”

“Anyway if handing over all the affiliate shares acquiring as promised, Young Master Jeong-hyeok can open a shareholders’ meeting and replace the management rights holder. Would Young Master Jeong-hyeok not know that?”

Secretary Kim was firm unlike usual.

“Nevertheless sending such a note means the meaning of not wanting to be at odds with the chairman.”

“I know. Why wouldn’t I know that? Because knowing, the inside is noisy like this.”

Chairman Cha sighed deeply.

“U-gwang Oil Refining.”

“Isn’t U-gwang Oil Refining an affiliate the eldest Young Master is eyeing?”

“If not the trick Jeong-hyeok informed, couldn’t even receive the hint that the Blue House security chief would hand over U-gwang’s affiliates to Taeseong from the beginning! The merit Jeong-hyeok established, why putting that in Dae-jun’s mouth?”

Looking into, the fact that the Blue House security chief was so glad for the first time was also ultimately all thanks to this eight-year-old grandson’s advice.

Chairman Cha stopped pacing and sat down flop on the chair.

“Since a guy aiming for Yugong, if bringing U-gwang Oil Refining, Jeong-hyeok would be happy. Grandfather role will do only up to there.”

Chairman Cha cut sharply.

“Not blocking even a more competent guy catching the opportunity and coming up. But can’t see the appearance of my young child becoming bloody in adults’ fight!”

“Chairman, how about sharing conversation with Young Master Jeong-hyeok first before starting the work?”

“The sound of telling me to hold the grandson and complain saying understand my position?”

“Chairman.”

“Now business hours! Finish company work first. Later!”

Chairman Cha unfolded the approval documents piled like a mountain on the desk.

Full of proposals regarding U-gwang affiliate acquisition that executives wrote up from each affiliate.

“Even just reviewing U-gwang’s affiliate acquisition now takes a long time! Even if twelve bodies, insufficient!”

“So speaking, how about referring to this?”

Secretary Kim put the thick document bundle held under the arm on the desk.

Documents with numbers from 1 to 41 written on the cover.

“This is what Young Master Jeong-hyeok wrote when observing the Taeseong Group all affiliate executive meeting last time.”

“Ha······!”

“Seems wrote the priority of acquisition merger reviewing U-gwang affiliates.”

“What?”

“As will know if seeing, classified into short and long-term investment items, and recorded the reason briefly too.”

“······Fed up.”

Seemed observing the executive meeting diligently flashing eyes.

Chairman Cha couldn’t help but let out a hollow laugh.

“That guy really surprises me in various ways the words?”

“Will recommend reviewing centered on the starred parts.”

* * *

“This is it. Firm too. Hahaha!”

Chairman Cha flashed eyes and read down the eight-year-old grandson’s memo.

There were a few parts particularly eye-catching.

“The evaluation regarding U-gwang Automobile, U-gwang Heavy Equipment, U-gwang Oil Refining is particularly harsh. But quite plausible.”

Chairman Cha pulled down the mouth corner twitching repeatedly with effort.

“The words that the young thing knows how to roll business head quite?”

“So the words giving. If affiliates to give to Young Master Jeong-hyeok anyway, seems the order is asking what blueprint the Young Master is drawing first.”

Jeong-hyeok drew as many as three X marks on the U-gwang Oil Refining document.

“Hmm, opinions diverged with Jeong-hyeok. I and President Shim are seeing quite positively regarding the U-gwang Oil Refining acquisition. Why did this guy draw lines first saying a matter that won’t work?”

Chairman Cha rummaged the approval documents and found the <​U-gwang Oil Refining acquisition plan assuming the case an oil shock occurs>.

“To establish an oil refining company on bare ground, even pouring money wildly, barely or not. If can acquire at a cheap price, have to rush unconditionally.”

“Regarding that, there are words Young Master Jeong-hyeok left separately.”

Secretary Kim held out a note with the number ‘2’ written on the cover.

If an oil shock occurs, crude oil prices soar, but the government will force freezing domestic oil prices or minimal increase. Then who has to bear all that loss?

“Well the oil refining company would have to bear.”

Chairman Cha muttered without realizing.

“Chairman, for the same reason, during the last oil shock, the oil refining company couldn’t bear the financial difficulty and staggered greatly.”

“Hmm.”

Chairman Cha read the next line remaining.

If U-gwang Oil Refining comes out as a market item, who do you think will rush first?

“Samhwang Oil Refining. Because the size is small, repeatedly pushed in competition with U-gwang Oil Refining.”

Yield U-gwang Oil Refining to Samhwang. If the oil shock bursts, seems can pick up of course Korea Petroleum Corporation even U-gwang Oil Refining and Samhwang Oil Refining all at once at a shit price.

“······!”

Chairman Cha seemed like lightning flashed in the head.

Different from when worrying how to lure the central intelligence director and army security commander.

In the head, the abacus beads went back and forth, and dozens of strategy methods regarding this floated up.

Chairman Cha hit his knee with a thud.

“Even without the oil shock, a situation of fighting to death with Samhwang Oil Refining over U-gwang Oil Refining!”

If an oil refining company, the asset size held basically has to be a bit large.

Not only Taeseong would have eyes reddening at a rare opportunity.

“Not that I don’t know Samhwang Oil Refining is in close relationship with the central intelligence director and army security commander. So worried all along that Taeseong would jump into the mud fight!”

Chairman Cha held the crumpled note ‘1’ and laughed greatly.

“If can lure even the central intelligence director and army security commander to our Taeseong, the matter becomes quite easy······ Wait! Even so throwing U-gwang Oil Refining? No, why? Particularly? For what?”

Secretary Kim silently pushed a note with ‘3’ written on the cover.

Chairman Cha snatched the note like an eagle snatching prey.

Don’t get swept into the mud brawl and let’s aim for better things.

“So what is that?”

Chairman Cha flipped the note and checked the back side.

If curious, management rights!

Until the end management rights chant!

Anyway can’t stop!

“Yes, if there is something wanted, have to push to this extent to be called Taeseong’s blood! Hahahaha!”

Chairman Cha’s mouth corner hung on the ears.

“Won’t do! This can’t endure at all!”

Chairman Cha stood up with a whoosh and hurriedly took care of the coat hanging on the hanger first.

“Secretary Kim, what was today’s morning schedule?”

“Chairman, in the morning Taeseong Electronics new product announcement and Taeseong Heavy Industry first half investment report meeting are scheduled.”

“I have to postpone the time with Jeong-hyeok behind to listen to such reports? Cancel all!”

“Yes.”

“Have to process the most important matter for Taeseong’s future first! Where is there a more important matter than this now? Secretary Kim, what doing? Depart!”

Secretary Kim answered yes, and organized the disordered documents.

In the meantime, the impatient Chairman Cha burst out of the chairman’s office with a whoosh.

But Secretary Kim never hurried.

Tak tak tak.

With a leisurely and elegant and neat posture, stacked the approval documents Chairman Cha disordered each catching.

Even straightened the tissue wrinkles of the beauty tissue flat, and neatly put in the chair that rolled to the window too.

Picked up the documents Chairman Cha threw and Jeong-hyeok’s note and took care in the document bag.

Thump thump thump!

“Secretary Kim!”

Chairman Cha who ran out ran back in panting.

“The note Jeong-hyeok sent! Have to take care the executive meeting materials that wrote the acquisition merger priority first!”

“Yes, here. As seeing.”

Secretary Kim slightly lifted the document bag and showed.

“Let’s go! I already sent Manager Go down first saying start the car!”

“Yes. Please go.”

Chairman Cha ran out again.

Secretary Kim followed behind with big strides.

Without disordering even one strand of hair, walking without folding even one wrinkle of the suit, Secretary Kim gestured.

Then immediately a secretary affiliated with the secretary’s office ran and prepared a memo.

“Postpone the Taeseong Electronics new product announcement meeting to the same time tomorrow morning.”

“Yes.”

“Taeseong Heavy Industry investment report meeting to the day after tomorrow afternoon 2 o’clock.”

“Understood.”

“Cancel the lunch appointment too. Seems will eat at Hannam-dong and come.”

“Will send a flower bouquet along with an understanding phone.”

“You have to take charge of the afternoon meeting preparation.”

“Yes. Will set in advance.”

In the meantime, Chairman Cha tapped the down button in front of the elevator five or six times a second.

Tadatadatadak!

The elevator that went down to the basement 2nd floor parking lot, unable to endure coming up to the 32nd floor where the chairman’s office is located.

Ding!

The time the elevator door opened and Secretary Kim arrived in front of the elevator matched exactly.

Tatatatatatak!

As soon as Chairman Cha got on the elevator, pressed the basement 2nd floor and close button five or six times a second.

In the meantime, Secretary Kim took out a portable suit duster from the suit inner pocket and wiped Chairman Cha’s suit with a swipe swipe.

Next took out a folding straight comb and combed Chairman Cha’s hair disordered from running with a swipe swipe.

Ding!

The time the elevator arrived at the basement 2nd floor parking lot and Secretary Kim put the comb into the suit inner pocket matched exactly.

As soon as the elevator door opened, Chairman Cha burst out like a bullet and shouted greatly.

“Manager Go, depart!”

Still before even getting on the car.

When Chairman Cha looked around finding the parked car, Secretary Kim was already waiting with the back door open.

“Chairman, this side.”

“Manager Go, Hannam-dong! Let’s go!”

This also still before even getting on the car.

* * *

Gulp gulp gulp gulp!

Grandfather who charged into our house from early morning drank the honey water in one shot without even breathing sitting in the seat.

“Take it, the management rights!”

Grandfather put down the memorandum written in advance on the desk with a bang.

Of course the golden light flashed dazzlingly.

“The work of persuading the family and Taeseong Group executives?”

“Leave to me. Does it seem grandfather can’t even solve that level?”

The sound of firming the determination.

“However, for safety, not permitting putting you to the front. Exercise the management rights detouring your investment company.”

“Thank you, grandfather.”

“Also can’t start a fight first with your eldest uncle or aunt using this as an excuse. Can promise?”

Grandfather put down the note with ‘1’ written on the cover on my desk with a bang.

“So what to do how?”

Life is originally give and take!

If there is something coming, there has to be something going accordingly.

I also held out the documents prepared in advance.

“Isn’t this the U-gwang Construction bribe ledger?

One copy was a document mixed with golden light and red light, the other copy was a document mixed with golden light and black light.

“Didn’t we agree not to put out the central intelligence director and army security commander’s and discard?”

“No.”

I shook the index finger left and right.

“That was deciding not to hand the handle of the purge knife to the Blue House security chief and secretary chief. This can be said a gift given to themselves.”

“Gift? Not bribe?”

Gifts and bribes are strictly different.
