Gamble
Thud!
The central intelligence director stepped on Kim Hyeong-won’s back with a shoe sole.
While tightly pulling the firmly tied dog leash taut.
“Keuheuk! Kek!”
“Was 6 years?”
The president pulled up one mouth corner and smiled fishily.
The president walked slowly thud thud to the extent hard to see as a person who was walking fast almost running the corridor.
Thud.
Sat hanging only one hip on the office desk so Kim Hyeong-won stuck on the office floor visible well.
“Kim Hyeong-won.”
The president’s voice was cold.
“What use crumpling my face.”
“Kek! Keuheuk, Y, Your Excellency······!”
“Close mouth.”
At the president’s one low word,
Smack!
The central intelligence director kicked Kim Hyeong-won’s face with a shoe sole.
Kim Hyeong-won fell backward spraying nosebleed.
No, was trying to fall.
If the central intelligence director not skillfully pulled the dog leash.
“Probably wrong overlooking saying rolled under me.”
“Y, Your Excellency!”
“Shouldn’t have let out with limbs intact.”
“S, sorry!”
The president took out a handkerchief from the suit inner pocket and wiped hands.
But the sharply honed gaze fixed on Kim Hyeong-won.
“Cut the tongue so no matter of mouth flapping.”
Smack!
The central intelligence director kicked Kim Hyeong-won’s snout with a foot once more.
Blood splashed with teeth.
“Cut hands so can’t write statements.”
Crush!
The central intelligence director trampled Kim Hyeong-won’s back of hand with a shoe sole.
Crushing broken fingers with shoe heels was extra.
“Pull eyeballs so eyes don’t turn to useless places.”
Thud!
The central intelligence director’s fierce kicks fell wherever the president said.
Kim Hyeong-won screamed and lay prone on the floor.
“If even broke the neck that bowed recklessly not knowing who the owner.”
“Kek!”
As the central intelligence director pulled the dog leash, Kim Hyeong-won was forcibly lifted gasping.
Catches the leash with bloodied hands because breath blocked.
Fingers broken and back of hand also burst.
“Wouldn’t have had matters of national disgrace. Not so?”
“Kek! S, sorry······!”
“Shut up.”
Smack!
Immediately the central intelligence director’s merciless kick fell.
“Heok···! Heok······!”
Kim Hyeong-won who became bloodied instantly lay prone on the floor and panted.
The president looked down at that appearance with fierce eyes.
“Where diverted?”
The reason the president appointed the current central intelligence director.
The reason issued the mission of capture alive and return not assassination.
“My slush funds.”
The real cause Kim Hyeong-won who set out on exile like fleeing noisily burst the Koreagate in the meantime.
That because Kim Hyeong-won took the president’s slush funds and fled.
“Heard makes confess even non-existent crimes at the central intelligence?”
Enormous property incomparable to receiving numerous back money and bribes becoming the president’s closest aide.
Kim Hyeong-won who once didn’t spare means and methods to cover the president’s shame.
He used all kinds of tricks to hide the president’s slush funds taken and fled.
For that reason even mobilizing the central intelligence not yet recovered the hidden property.
“Drag.”
“Yes, Your Excellency.”
The central intelligence director bowed the waist 90 degrees and greeted the president.
The arm muscles tightly pulling Kim Hyeong-won’s leash tautened.
Dragged Kim Hyeong-won struggling in pain roughly with force.
Opened the office door with a whoosh.
“Director!”
“To Seobingo water torture room.”
“Yes!”
The central intelligence senior agents waiting outside the office door bowed heads neatly and received the order.
Kim Hyeong-won was dragged out unable even to scream.
The Blue House security chief looked at that appearance with cold eyes.
“Presenting Kim Hyeong-won to His Excellency without even reporting to me?”
“Central intelligence’s matter.”
“Kim Hyeong-won! Not other matters, if brought Kim Hyeong-won······!”
The Blue House security chief said suppressing with a growling-like tone.
“Should have at least tipped me in advance!”
The Blue House security chief glared at the central intelligence director grinding teeth.
But the central intelligence director turned the back without even answering.
Step. Step. Step.
The central intelligence director entered the president’s office again.
At the moment the Blue House security chief panting tried to follow enter the president’s office.
“Out.”
At the president’s one word the Blue House security chief’s steps stopped abruptly.
“Your Excellency?”
“Close the door.”
“······Yes.”
The Blue House security chief bit the lips.
Creak.
The Blue House security chief stepped back and began slowly closing the president’s office door.
Through the gradually narrowing door gap three people were contained as if stuck in the eyes.
The president hung the hip on the office desk and pulled up the mouth corner as if satisfied.
“Seems the aching tooth fell out.”
The president who rarely puts praise in the mouth.
This level extreme praise.
The central intelligence director walked straight to the front of the president as if to show and held out the report.
“Will recover even the hidden funds.”
“Have to.”
“This friend’s merit large in catching Kim Hyeong-won.”
The central intelligence director pointed at Park Cheol-gu.
Park Cheol-gu standing in attention posture with muscles bulging beyond the suit shirt tightly pulled bowed the waist and greeted.
The reason could enter even the Blue House office as a mere security bureau agent.
The central intelligence director continued words.
“Heard Taeseong brain’s help large.”
“Taeseong brain. That friend again. In detail.”
Finally the appearance of the president rarely concentrating and tilting ears.
Click.
The Blue House security chief completely closed the president’s office door.
Chewed and spat the curse leaking between teeth.
“Damn.”
Sparks flew from the Blue House security chief’s eyes.
The one who didn’t even yield opening His Excellency’s car door to the central intelligence director even riding the car together.
Such he received the order to leave at the place the central intelligence director entered.
“Chief.”
There was a note the Blue House security administrative deputy chief ran and secretly handed.
Heard the central intelligence director secured Kim Hyeong-won’s person and heading to the Blue House. -Taeseong brain-
“When did this come?”
“Heard about 30 minutes.”
If 30 minutes ago roughly similar to the time the Blue House chief of staff was conveying a whisper to His Excellency the president.
A faint smile circled on the Blue House security chief’s mouth corner.
“Convey received the sincerity well.”
Taeseong’s brain.
* * *
Leaving only Jeong-hyeok and Chairman Cha in the president’s office everyone came out.
President Shim only looked at the closed president’s office door, couldn’t easily take steps.
“A move unlike Young Master Jeong-hyeok.”
“Yes, certainly so.”
Secretary Kim nodded and expressed agreement to President Shim’s monologue.
President Shim looked back at Secretary Kim.
“Secretary Kim also felt so? In Secretary Kim’s view what points so?”
“Showed own cards first in the negotiation.”
“As expected.”
President Shim looked at the president’s office door with strange eyes.
“A person who has no way of first raising own weaknesses with own mouth.”
“Said honestly to the chairman no money, factory stopped, will even use private loans.”
“Why did so?”
President Shim half closed eyes and sank into thought.
“Young Master Jeong-hyeok still young but in negotiations with important things at stake doesn’t know to retreat.”
“Yes.”
“Until now hundred battles hundred wins. If to seize the desired goal no hesitation.”
“Yes.”
“Such Young Master stepped out to negotiate with the chairman and not even once common threat or quarrel?”
President Shim and Secretary Kim simultaneously recalled the same appearance.
The appearance of Young Master Jeong-hyeok who came to the chairman’s office and had a showdown before entering the Taeseong Chemicals executive meeting.
Brought the initiative of negotiation skillfully boldly without shrinking even in front of the Taeseong Group head.
But today different.
“If Young Master Jeong-hyeok certainly expected would receive proper price even handing over shares.”
President Shim scratched the cheek.
“If the chairman would have coveted U-gwang Automobile, U-gwang Heavy Equipment, U-gwang Shipbuilding very much. No way Young Master Jeong-hyeok not knowing that.”
Chairman Cha’s eldest son wanted U-gwang Automobile and U-gwang Heavy Equipment.
To grow the scale merging with Taeseong Automobile and Taeseong Heavy Equipment.
Chairman Cha cherished such eldest son.
“Knew if knowing the Young Master’s situation difficult the chairman would say right and undercut the desired affiliate shares at a bargain price and bring.”
“But the chairman didn’t do so.”
“So. This also unlike the chairman, this original.”
“I somehow seem to know.”
Secretary Kim smiled gently.
“President Shim, actually the Young Master didn’t necessarily have to hand over the affiliate shares possessed to the chairman.”
“Hmm?”
“There is also a bank that concluded investment agreements closely with Young Master Jeong-hyeok.”
“Ah! Giant bank!”
President Shim struck a fist on the palm.
There was a time Jeong-hyeok directly opened the coin wallet and showed the investment agreement concluded with the giant bank.
“If the giant bank could have received quite a lot of loans with shares as collateral.”
“Not only that. The chairman’s wife’s maiden family also famous in this direction.”
“Taeseong side private loans mostly covered from the madam’s maiden family.”
“There also know quite a lot of cash extracted monthly from underground finance big shots. Annual interest rate 67.8% as many as seven houses.”
“Hmm? That first hearing?”
President Shim naturally turned the head abruptly.
Whether or not.
Secretary Kim smiled faintly and added.
“Also bought a lot of land near where the subway station enters? Even just disposing that how much all?”
“Hmm.”
If that President Shim knows well now.
The first thing JH Investment Company touched was buying land near the subway station.
The targeted land about 100,000 pyeong.
Thanks to former Taeseong Construction executives and tutors working recklessly already achieved the target long ago.
Even just the land currently held already approaching 180,000 pyeong.
“Even not selling the land right away if receiving loans from the bank with that as collateral rebuilding one factory nothing?”
“There also quite a lot of assets and promissory notes of affiliates acquired from U-gwang.”
“Yes, if even putting that up as collateral seems a chemical factory will enter even the yolk land of Ulsan industrial complex?”
Properly tapping the calculator more puzzling.
President Shim tilted the head.
“Then why did the Young Master make dying sounds to the chairman? Doesn’t make sense?”
“Seems the Young Master made a big decision.”
“Big decision?”
“Whether to look at Taeseong and JH Investment Company together, or look separately detached.”
President Shim looked back at Secretary Kim with a surprised face.
Secretary Kim was smiling with eyes half closed.
“If the chairman ignored Young Master Jeong-hyeok’s difficulty and tried to tear affiliate shares···. Probably the result wouldn’t have differed much expect.”
President Shim recalled the conversation between the two grandfather and grandson.
-Taeseong one family. Seems can solve your difficulties.
-Even though grandfather has not even 1% of JH Investment Company shares?
-Jeong-hyeok, you my grandson. Even if you caused trouble and spread hands grandpa helped you. Will help the Taeseong Chemicals factory relocation funds.
-With empty mouth?
Secretary Kim smiled gently.
“Thanks to the chairman Young Master Jeong-hyeok also decided the heart?”
Earlier Jeong-hyeok said like this.
-Recently grandfather also many difficulties because the overseas distribution network borrowed from U-gwang cut?
-Seems can solve that difficulty?
-Taeseong one family! Even if not because of our parents if grandfather and Taeseong in a difficult situation I also have to help.
President Shim shook the head.
“The scheme of the Young Master mere not even eight years old not ordinary.”
“Isn’t Young Master Jeong-hyeok always a person who draws big pictures. That level basic.”
“Indeed Taeseong’s brain, Taeseong’s future, Taeseong’s pillar, Taeseong’s sponsor!”
Clap. Clap. Clap. Clap.
President Shim couldn’t hide admiration and clapped slowly.
But soon a small sigh followed.
“But still the question not solved. Why the Young Master borrowing money from the chairman even writing a loan certificate······.”
“I somehow seem to know.”
“Hmm? No, why? Because of what?”
“Would have been to throw a gamble to the chairman.”
“Gamble?”
Secretary Kim was making a meaningful smile.
“Probably settling that inside?”
* * *
Grandfather rubbed eyes.
“Saying will borrow mere 100,000 won?”
“Yes. The insufficient money for factory relocation grandfather taking responsibility? Exactly 100,000 won insufficient.”
I signature sealed on the loan certificate.
“No, I give New Year’s money 1 million won each on the first day of the new year?”
“Received fully the heart of the grandfather who cherishes the grandson. Thank you, grandfather.”
“The abandoned government support funds even just Ulsan industrial complex land price······.”
“Taeseong Chemicals factory will enter not Ulsan but Yeocheon.”
Grandfather stopped the words shouting ‘Ulsan!’ abruptly.
This not discussion.
Strictly speaking close to notification.
“10 years later. If grandfather’s meaning hoping I fight over the Taeseong Group head seat understood properly.”
Since received expectation thinking of responding to that meaning duly.
For that thinking of making one bomb declaration.
