What I Am Aiming For

The document mixed with golden light and red light is the army security commander’s.

The one mixed with golden light and black light had the central intelligence director’s name written.

I slightly pushed those documents in front of grandfather.

“This Blue House new year report meeting will probably be extremely fierce.”

If the new year luncheon gathering is what political figures participate in, there is a new year report meeting for major figures of the military and central intelligence.

“Right after the U-gwang Construction bribe ledger was reported to the Blue House.”

Now the government is hanging the banner of eradicating corruption to eradicate high-ranking public officials’ corruption.

“The list of military generals and high-ranking officials who received back money would have been reported, would the owner of the Blue House just watch this appearance quietly?”

“If His Excellency, would clearly try to catch discipline.”

“Clearly the security chief called the right arm will run wild. To remove political enemies and display one’s influence.”

“Of course His Excellency will tacitly approve this.”

“Because a seat prepared saying do so.”

U-gwang Construction sprayed bribes in all directions.

“Evidence that can’t be denied of receiving bribes came out. What do you think will happen to people who rose on that list?”

“If caught by His Excellency, have to chant died. Probably tossing and turning unable to sleep at night from anxiety?”

So a kill list.

We put that in the hands of the Blue House security chief and secretary chief.

So bribes.

“Then if purging all those guys, what would happen?”

“Where one or two the leadership with noses pierced in a row? National administration and military would be paralyzed.”

“Seems not what the Blue House hopes.”

“But since knowing, won’t pretend not to know.”

“Instead will torment until chanting died.”

I pushed the documents mixed with golden light closer in front of grandfather.

“In a situation where fierceness is scheduled, if grandfather hands this to the central intelligence director and army security commander in advance, what would happen? Of course as a gift.”

Bribes are sincerity handed for requests, but gifts were said to be favor conveyed with the heart.

“Hid the weakness that can’t be denied? In addition to not falling out of the eyes of this country’s highest power holder, if a gift that took care so as not to lose face in front of subordinates? Doesn’t it seem extremely grateful?”

Just avoiding the absolute power holder’s suspicion is the same as proving loyalty for them.

The favor grandfather gifts was such a thing.

“Oho, a sip of water handed to a person stranded in the desert is treated like the grace of saving life. In the same meaning, our Taeseong also to the central intelligence director and army security commander······.”

“No.”

I shook the index finger left and right.

“If thinking of requesting, put away.”

“Why? If all of His Excellency’s closest aides push our Taeseong······.”

“His Excellency’s suspicion would head to Taeseong.”

“······!”

Grandfather’s mouth corner that was hanging even to the ears suddenly hardened.

“Already a situation of witnessing how U-gwang baked this country’s leadership spraying bribes in what way.”

The guy called suspicion once sprouting, rarely dies.

The target of suspicion dies, or the target suspecting dies.

One of the two has to die for it to end.

“At such a time, a company that all closest aides support appears? How do you think it will look?”

“Kkeung.”

“What use falling out of the eyes of the highest commander just to eat one affiliate for free.”

“······Yes, your words are right.”

Grandfather nodded heavily.

“Heard already received promises from the Blue House security chief and secretary chief. Then just the tacit approval of the remaining two is enough.”

“Understood. Will do so.”

“Anyway Taeseong is not even going to have a mud dog fight with Samhwang over U-gwang Oil Refining.”

“Anyway wanted to ask that.”

Grandfather took out the note written ‘2’.

“Honestly I see acquiring U-gwang Oil Refining in this opportunity is not very bad either.”

As grandfather signaled with eyes, Secretary Kim took out the document President Shim wrote directly.

The U-gwang Oil Refining acquisition plan assuming the case an oil shock occurs

“Why have to step back even after barely baking the closest aides? The opportunity is the one who rushes and catches first the owner.”

“More loss than gain.”

I grinned.

“Why would the owner of the Blue House leave U-gwang to be torn.”

“Well to fill the pockets of the close aides······.”

“Can Taeseong be said His Excellency’s close aide?”

“······!”

Grandfather tried to open his mouth then stopped.

“In front of a fight where profit is at stake, humans become ugly. Have to know who the person watching that fight behind is.”

“Those words······.”

“Wouldn’t it be just good to examine the sign of danger in the close aides’ power struggle field?”

To grandfather whose pupils shook greatly, I said in a subtle tone.

“Rather attach bargaining.”

“Bargaining?”

“If U-gwang Oil Refining to hand over to others anyway, have to induce to pay a higher price.”

“Until the warehouse pocket becomes empty?”

“Precisely that!”

Grandfather who was making an expression of being experienced in political fights, blood color returns just when money talk comes out.

“Jeong-hyeok, you really see the oil shock will burst?”

“Of course. Why did our father receive the Blue House luncheon invitation?”

Because predicted the possibility of a second oil shock to the owner of the Blue House.

“Because if the oil shock bursts, the ones seeing blood are the oil refining companies so being so cautious?”

That is also so but.

Not that can’t make soy sauce because scared of maggots?

I am aiming for a bigger thing so.

“Jeong-hyeok. Anyway collected materials paying quite a bit of attention in my own way to report this matter at the Blue House luncheon.”

Anyway this was a problem that all Taeseong Group executives rushed in and pondered.

“Heard experts’ opinions too, watched the foreign market going around situation, and inclined ears to the Middle East’s circumstances. But honestly as now, that probability······.”

“Would look low.”

“Yes.”

But when did world-level events like natural disasters occur only when the omen is clear?

“Report so at the Blue House luncheon too.”

“Hmm? Would that work?”

“Father sufficiently accomplished the invited role just by presenting the possibility of an oil shock to the political big shots.”

Grandfather opened eyes round.

“Wasn’t it that have to claim more strongly to stamp eyes on His Excellency?”

“Even if the oil shock occurs, just stamping a bit of foresight eyes, but if not occurring, have to shoulder all responsibility so only a big dump?”

“That······.”

“If guessing all future matters, that is a shaman, a merchant?”

“······That’s right. Yes, understood.”

Grandfather nodded willingly.

“Taeseong drop out from the U-gwang Oil Refining acquisition scramble.”

“Thank you, grandfather.”

“Let’s say aiming for the opportunity to acquire the oil refining company with accumulated deficit cheaply when the oil shock bursts!”

Grandfather put the note written ‘3’ on the desk.

“What affiliate on earth aiming for?”

“U-gwang Pharmaceutical and U-gwang Hospital.”

Grandfather snorted a laugh.

“The affiliate Seong-jun picked.”

“Yes.”

U-gwang Hospital and U-gwang Pharmaceutical were dazzlingly shining gold color.

U-gwang Hospital is located in a place with good accessibility and moreover becomes a domestic number 1 anticancer specialized hospital linked with Japan’s Waseda Hospital.

Also U-gwang Pharmaceutical paid technology agreement royalties with Japan’s Yougi Pharmaceutical and held several hit products on the pharmaceutical side.

“Good. Since the words came out anyway, let’s talk openly. What affiliates are you keeping in mind to claim shares with 15 billion sponsorship money?”

“U-gwang Scholarship Foundation and U-gwang Research Institute.”

On the other hand, U-gwang Research Institute and U-gwang Scholarship Foundation were pitch black shit color.

“This also the affiliate Seong-jun claimed to acquire.”

“Yes.”

“Filial piety also have to do in moderation.”

Grandfather made a bitter smile.

“U-gwang Hospital and U-gwang Pharmaceutical let that be, but U-gwang Scholarship Foundation and U-gwang Research Institute are not satisfactory at all. Remembered you also the same opinion as me?”

When holding out a hand to Secretary Kim, he handed the executive meeting materials I ranked priorities.

“Look. These two were affiliates you evaluated very harshly.”

“I know.”

“Nevertheless wanting U-gwang Scholarship Foundation and U-gwang Research Institute?”

“Yes.”

“Why?”

Grandfather asked directly.

An expression of completely unable to understand.

‘So. Because looking only as a single affiliate, shit color so I also thought a business that doesn’t match the calculation at first.’

But I saw the shit color changing to gold color.

The U-gwang Oil Refining that was shit color was gold color in President Shim’s report.

What was different,

‘Synergy arises between linked affiliates?’

I glanced at the <​U-gwang Oil Refining acquisition plan assuming the case an oil shock occurs> put on the desk.

Because a document where golden light particularly flashes was inserted between this report.

‘So prepared. Linked groups that can create synergy between U-gwang affiliates.’

I began pulling out the executive meeting materials I ranked priorities.

“What use inserting filial piety or something into business. Think business is kids’ play?”

“Who does business with filial piety?”

I was serious.

“Is grandfather deciding the acquisition merger only with love for the eldest son?”

“What?”

“Thinking of acquiring U-gwang Automobile and U-gwang Heavy Equipment.”

“······Yes.”

If the reason, simple.

To push the eldest son the eldest uncle.

But if as is now, U-gwang Automobile and U-gwang Heavy Equipment are just shit color.

“If an affiliate wanting to acquire at the Taeseong Group level, would be U-gwang Shipbuilding.”

“Right.”

U-gwang Shipbuilding was also gold color.

“Is this the best combination grandfather calculated when predicting the possibility of an oil shock high?”

“Yes.”

We looked at each other straight.

“Jeong-hyeok, if the oil shock bursts, automobiles and heavy equipment with high oil dependence rate will be hit by a severe cold wave and shrink a lot.”

So in the past Taeseong Automobile staggered greatly.

“But if having to be hit by the midwinter cold frost anyway, when all the chaff die, only the biggest guy endures.”

The reason grandfather is trying to acquire U-gwang Automobile and heavy equipment even bearing the loss.

“To protect the eldest son and postpone the management rights fight behind.”

“Th, that······!”

The second son was watching for opportunities.

Compared to the eldest son who will stagger greatly in the oil shock, the second son’s affiliates would be able to endure thanks to focusing relatively on domestic demand.

“There if acquiring U-gwang Shipbuilding, of course the eldest son in charge of heavy equipment, even the second son in charge of distribution and products will have breathing room.”

“Ahem!”

“If the oil shock bursts, only the automobile industry that reduced fuel efficiency to the minimum will survive. Heavy equipment the same.”

I grinned.

“Oil prices soared enormously, do you think can avoid deficit selling civilian automobiles and heavy equipment?”

“Then?”

“Do you think ships moving with oil are different? Acquiring the shipyard and pouring into import export logistics, can improve the trade balance?”

“Ahem!”

I overlapped even U-gwang Chemicals on top of the U-gwang Automobile, U-gwang Heavy Equipment, U-gwang Shipyard, U-gwang Hospital, U-gwang Pharmaceutical documents.

“If adding U-gwang Research Institute there and acquiring, what do you think will happen?”

Clearly a document mixed with shit color and gold color.

A bright golden light never seen until now poured out.

‘Regrettable. Grandfather won’t be able to see this dazzling scenery.’

So clicking the tongue with such an unsatisfactory expression.

“What how becoming? The U-gwang Research Institute that only eats money goes bankrupt completely without a way to rescue.”

Grandfather snorted.

“Think fuel efficiency improvement is whose dog’s name? If throwing work to the research institute, results come out right away like pulling drinks from a vending machine?”

“No. Try converting the idea.”

I shook the index finger left and right.

“What industry do you think would have synergy if bundling the industries I pulled out now together?”

There wrote the letters of Taeseong Food and Taeseong Fashion on a note and put up.

Hwaaaak!

An unprecedented golden light exploded.

Grandfather rolled in the mouth several times then opened eyes wide.

I smiled satisfactorily.

“Heard the Blue House is scheduled to announce that will produce various weapons such as helicopters, cannons, ammunition, armored vehicles, ships, radars, missiles, and start aircraft industry and special tank development?”

“Defense industry!”

Bingo.

Now Middle East wars burst frequently, military coups are rampant.

The US-Soviet Cold War reached the peak, and because of declaring resource weaponization, the Middle East oil-producing countries are competing shouting strengthening independent national defense.
