Putting a Rice Spoon (2)

Kim Dae-sik swept the face with the palm to hide the distorted expression.

“Discarding U-gwang after using?”

“If discarding after using the active cooperation request wouldn’t have come in. A situation fire falling on the Blue House’s instep.”

U-gwang’s active cooperation.

That was the condition the central intelligence director demanded earlier.

“U-gwang already swore loyalty to His Excellency! If telling to bark will bark, if telling to bite will bite······!”

“Up to that a matter I don’t know.”

“U-gwang did best. His Excellency the president also acknowledged. But why not U-gwang but Taeseong······!”

“Is doing best important? Producing the best result more important.”

President Shim neatly folded the note Secretary Kim conveyed and put in the suit inner pocket.

“Then do the remaining talk with the central intelligence director.”

“Will put out the lobbyist list U-gwang is sponsoring!”

Kim Dae-sik’s hidden one move.

But what to do this.

“If the lobbyist list by any chance speaking of such?”

President Shim took out one sheet of paper from the bosom and shook fluttering.

An object I wrote in advance and handed over.

The names of the lobbyists who died miserably in the process of investigating Koreagate.

“James Oh, Daniel Lee, Jane Song, Elise Kim, Thomas Choi, Veronica Shin······.”

“How that······!”

Names U-gwang desperately hid.

U-gwang swept all the prominent lobbyists in the Republic of Korea and put into Koreagate.

To block the withdrawal of US forces in Korea, suppress the communist bloc’s approach toward the US, and hinder raising human rights issues in Korea.

“So said in advance. We don’t care even without U-gwang’s cooperation.”

“······!”

“Was Taeseong’s favor. What refused that is Chairman Kim.”

President Shim stood up from the seat without lingering.

“Will put out money!”

U-gwang’s Kim Dae-sik clung to President Shim’s leg with a whoosh.

“So please let U-gwang also put only one rice spoon!”

Kim Dae-sik shouted resolutely.

“Please also let our U-gwang ride the boat Taeseong is riding together!”

All maneuvers cost money.

“Know how much funds put into Koreagate? U-gwang’s bleeding much larger than Taeseong or Samhwang, Ilseong, Geumjo, Hyunmu, Cheongwol!”

If a maneuver held at the national unit like Koreagate the unit of money entering the lobby different from the start.

Wouldn’t have proceeded all that funds emptying the national treasury.

“The situation the entire US turned upside down, the US House of Representatives rose and stirring Koreagate. More money will enter covering this!”

Yes, no.

‘If according to the orthodox would spend astronomical money to cover the incident, divert important witnesses, bribe related real powers, but this time the problem different.’

Because Uncle Cheol-gu grasped the whereabouts of former central intelligence director Kim Hyeong-won the core figure of Koreagate.

‘If only catching the hidden Kim Hyeong-won Koreagate will end as is. Because the entangled US political and business world figures will charge to cover own shame competing.’

Anyway a matter that started from Kim Hyeong-won’s testimony.

‘If certain evidence came out the Blue House couldn’t deny so long.’

The evidence that came out until now all only that US political and business world famous figures received a lot of bribes.

-The source of the funds unclear.

For that reason the central intelligence director wants to block Kim Hyeong-won’s mouth who will testify the source of the funds.

In the past Kim Hyeong-won evaporated in Paris like that and Koreagate was buried vaguely.

‘I actually had no thought of tearing money from U-gwang from the beginning.’

Even if tearing pocket money!

Would I not know U-gwang’s cash situation.

But Kim Dae-sik who doesn’t know that had no choice but to make dying sounds.

Because thinking of the astronomical fund burden to enter covering Koreagate the front would have been distant.

“If knowing the hidden inside circumstances of U-gwang Steel would know why U-gwang that was business world ranking 9th suffered cash shortage?”

Because the waist bent providing the maneuver funds to cover Koreagate.

The reason even if the U-gwang Chemicals fire burst the president closed eyes once for U-gwang’s Chairman Kim.

As Kim Dae-sik clung, President Shim shook the leg very burdened.

“Why doing this? Dislike? Even shameless there is a limit?”

“Didn’t see the note? Said if ability not enough at least provide money!”

Kim Dae-sik desperately stuck to President Shim’s pants leg and not falling off easily.

“Said grateful just letting put a rice spoon on Koreagate? Said that the value of putting out U-gwang Group holding company shares 7%!”

Kim Dae-sik picked up the note thrown at President Shim’s face.

Pushed the note crumpled a lot to President Shim.

“So how much enough!”

“Have such money?”

“Have to use even private loan!”

If tax investigation rises once the collection amount to be torn distant.

If seizure search strikes once the stock price that will collapse distant again.

“U-gwang who didn’t even have money to acquire Taeseong Chemicals and paid with promissory notes? How intending to process the promissory notes flooding anyway?”

“Thinking of tax collection and stock price plunge crying and using private loan cheaper! No, honestly if I not put out will forcibly tear even affiliates and change to candy and eat!”

Kim Dae-sik bit the lips.

The note Kim Dae-sik held out was trembling.

“······Please save.”

“Good.”

President Shim readily received the note Kim Dae-sik held out.

Then put in the mouth and chewed crunch crunch and swallowed.

A matter that happened instantly.

Kim Dae-sik was surprised.

“Wh, what on earth this act now?”

“In the middle of destroying evidence?”

“Yes?”

“No good leaving such in the world. Only becomes U-gwang’s weakness.”

Kim Dae-sik looked back at President Shim with eyes not believing.

“President Shim, if like this Taeseong can’t avoid the upper line’s reprimand······.”

“That Taeseong will take responsibility.”

President Shim waved a hand.

“Not that we don’t know U-gwang’s circumstances either. Money enough.”

“His Excellency hopes to close Koreagate. For that someone money······.”

“Said Taeseong takes responsibility that.”

“······!”

Kim Dae-sik’s expression became truly worth seeing.

“Why Taeseong··· why instead of our U-gwang······ that much money······.”

“Seems the third time saying. Said Taeseong’s favor.”

“······!”

The expression made when first heard the sound ‘Taeseong’s favor’ nowhere.

Kim Dae-sik chewed the meaning with a serious expression.

“The Blue House’s meaning, discarding after using, tax investigation, seizure search, water torture room, electric chair, U-gwang’s active cooperation, same boat, rice spoon, Taeseong’s favor.”

These many words could be replaced with one word.

-Checkmate.

Kim Dae-sik said politely with a calm voice.

“Have to follow His Excellency’s meaning. Will actively cooperate. Woof woof woof!”

“Thought well.”

“What how should I do? The lobbyist list no need so······.”

“Please open the distribution network in the US.”

“······!”

President Shim grinned.

“To catch the fled former central intelligence director Kim Hyeong-won, and divert the lobbyists from the US government’s hand need a secret route?”

Kim Dae-sik had no answer.

“If dislike just withdraw. Not stopping this time either.”

President Shim tidied the clothes.

“As said earlier we don’t care even without U-gwang’s cooperation. Then let’s end the talk with this matter’s merit all Taeseong eating.”

“Wait!”

U-gwang’s Kim Dae-sik raised both hands.

White flag surrender.

“The distribution network in the US, will open.”

“Thought well.”

President Shim smiled neatly and took out one sheet of paper from the bosom.

“What is this again?”

“Know. The upper people believe documents rather than words. Just do the signature seal at the very bottom there.”

Kim Dae-sik muttered as if overwhelmed.

“Don’t know who became this generation’s brain······ becoming helpless entangled in that skill every time.”

An expression with a sense of déjà vu.

Last time at the U-gwang affiliates Kim Dae-sik also had such a face.

“If can’t avoid getting entangled in the typhoon, best to obtain a sturdy boat and set sail. Since the spoon decided to put, no choice but to close eyes tightly and support with full power.”

Kim Dae-sik immediately held the fountain pen President Shim handed with a trembling hand.

“Please convey U-gwang will devote all loyalty to His Excellency. Bark bark! Woof woof woof!”

While barking dog sounds Kim Dae-sik finished the signature.

Handed over the distribution network in the US U-gwang painstakingly polished.

“······What is the real reason Taeseong showing favor?”

“Said from the beginning. Hope U-gwang’s active cooperation.”

“Is there more active cooperation?”

“First, abandon the U-gwang affiliate executives handed over to Taeseong.”

Kim Dae-sik blankly looked at President Shim.

“U-gwang thinking of using the executives as spies and diverting Taeseong’s technology. Abandon that.”

President Shim neatly folded the paper Kim Dae-sik signature sealed and put in the bosom.

“Second, intactly hand over the U-gwang Research Institute technology and research records diverted.”

The reason couldn’t properly roll the U-gwang Research Institute until now.

Like President Shim played tricks when handing over Taeseong Chemicals U-gwang also deliberately damaged the research institute development and research records.

“Third, hand over the defense industry technology and specialized researchers secretly developed behind. How?”

U-gwang also had defense industry entry in mind.

Selected the technology researchers of the U-gwang Research Institute and diverted behind.

Kim Dae-sik sighed small.

“Don’t know who became this generation’s brain······ certain at least a truly nauseatingly severe guy.”

Kim Dae-sik raised both hands this time too.

President Shim smiled gently.

“Instead if U-gwang actively cooperates with Taeseong Taeseong also won’t pretend not to know that.”

“If not pretending not to know······.”

“Will let U-gwang Steel also see the virtue of the U-gwang Research Institute’s steel and new material technology.”

President Shim held out a hand.

“Giving the opportunity for U-gwang also to put a rice spoon on Taeseong’s defense industry business.”

“Surely this also that person’s skill? Taeseong’s anonymous sponsor and His Excellency’s······.”

“Of course.”

“Ha!”

Kim Dae-sik held President Shim’s hand and muttered small.

“Went over helplessly again. Really an amazing tactician.”

A monologue with a low admiration embedded.

But those words ended up crumbling because of another paper that came out from President Shim’s bosom.

President Shim smiled refreshingly and put the fountain pen back in the hand.

“As said earlier know believe documents rather than words? Just do the signature seal at the very bottom there.”

Kim Dae-sik muttered as if overwhelmed.

“Severe guy! How thorough is this bastard on earth?”

* * *

I turned off the field of view share with the underworld messenger.

‘Amazing golden light!’

The paper Kim Dae-sik signed was shining brilliantly with golden light.

Both sheets!

‘Ended up eating the distribution network in the US U-gwang polished for free?’

Not only that.

‘Now finally the defense industry business seems to roll properly!’

The real reason I deliberately tried to settle with U-gwang’s Kim Dae-sik.

‘Why did U-gwang painstakingly raise the research institute enduring deficit until now?’

The reason the U-gwang Research Institute had shit light certain.

Because the technology level put out not amazing compared to the money entered until now.

‘But the U-gwang Research Institute excellent talents of the U-gwang Foundation enter and soon begin to produce amazing results.’

Not right now.

While experiencing the second oil shock the U-gwang Research Institute’s technology begins to shine.

‘Because in the oil shock technology-intensive industry of high efficiency for fuel economy saving naturally spotlighted.’

The reason the whole world automobile industry broke like dominoes at the 2nd oil shock.

That precisely because of expensive oil prices.

The automobile companies that survived then only German and Japanese automobile companies that hung the neck on fuel economy technology development in advance, and some US automobile companies with amazing capital power.

‘The reason U-gwang Automobile and heavy equipment survived in that mess also here.’

Too regrettable to miss the researchers and technology of U-gwang Chairman Kim Dae-sik diverted like this.

‘U-gwang’s money and technology, time and talents U-gwang invested for a long time until now. Have to receive this intactly, wholly.’

Taeseong’s defense industry business, my foundation will start from there.
