Chapter 96

Killing Two Birds with One Stone

President Kim of U-gwang Construction’s intention was clear.

-Declaration of war over the group head position!

Otherwise, could he openly raise a rebellion while talking about the word decision?

He wouldn’t have brought up the remark of putting down the head position and prostrating to His Excellency to seek leniency.

“······!”

The U-gwang affiliate presidents inhaled breath.

The greatly hardened expressions were dark like shit light.

But President Kim of U-gwang Construction didn’t care and interlocked his fingers.

“Older brother, since the problem has become this serious, no way the Blue House would see U-gwang prettily. Sanctions will clearly come in.”

In the past, it was a matter that optimistically thought if a problem arises, the Blue House’s mediation would come in from the Blue House.

A large horse doesn’t die!

U-gwang is a large company ranked 9th in the Republic of Korea’s business world, and if U-gwang falls, the national economy would shake.

“Don’t know how luckily passed last time, but this time also hard to pass prettily. Why? Because public opinion is not good.”

Because seized the regime with a military coup.

The government reacted very sensitively to public opinion and public sentiment.

Especially didn’t hesitate to draw a sword and cut on things that are not one’s own fault.

“Public opinion is turning eyes and making noise like that, how will cover this matter? Can’t cover the sky with a palm. How will avoid His Excellency’s anger?”

In the air, Chairman Kim and President Kim of U-gwang Construction’s eyes collided.

A fierce gaze as if invisible sparks would bounce.

“Signs of the U-gwang Chemicals fire spreading into a labor and human rights movement are showing. The situation that the Blue House most dislikes has started.”

President Kim of U-gwang Construction looked around the affiliate presidents.

“If public sentiment fluctuates and protests intensify, disturbance starts. Then where will the arrow of that resentment go?”

President Kim of U-gwang Construction raised a finger and pointed at the ceiling.

“The Blue House will try to turn the criticism of public opinion to the cause provider. Precisely toward our U-gwang!”

Pointed the finger that pointed at the ceiling at Chairman Kim.

It was pointing.

“While the situation deteriorated this much, what did older brother do on earth?”

It was clear reproach.

“U-gwang’s image was stuck in the ground, U-gwang’s stocks plummeted, U-gwang’s money line was cut, and even those who worked for U-gwang turned their backs. Is that all? About to give three prime affiliates into Taeseong’s mouth for free.”

The affiliate presidents began tilting heads to each other and murmuring small.

“The Taeseong Chemicals acquisition merger was also a matter that older brother forced. Blinded by the tens of billions of gain falling in front of the eyes, about to blow U-gwang’s future. Falling into the trap of short-term bills!”

“Look here, President Kim······!”

“The money line is tightly blocked, how will block as much as 15 billion short-term bills?”

President Kim of U-gwang Construction shook the three-page ‘Taeseong Chemicals acquisition merger contract’ copy and said.

“See this clause here? If abandoning bill payment and demanding Taeseong Chemicals reacquisition negotiation, follow the private loan market’s rules! The collateral U-gwang Securities also processed in place of the reacquisition negotiation condition!”

The affiliate presidents let out low moans.

“The sound of U-gwang Chemicals of course even U-gwang Securities caught as collateral being handed over.”

Long and short sighs flowed from here and there.

“About to eat U-gwang Chemicals for free because regrettable to give 15 billion, about to cause chain bankruptcy of not only U-gwang Construction but the entire U-gwang affiliates. Yet older brother intends to ignore responsibility until the end?”

President Kim of U-gwang Construction interlocked his fingers and crossed his legs.

“Can’t help but doubt older brother’s leadership. Due to a wrong decision made by the head of one company, all 41 affiliates of U-gwang became dangerous.”

Chairman Kim with hands behind his back silently scanned the affiliate presidents.

The younger brother President Kim of U-gwang Construction of course all the affiliate presidents looked only at Chairman Kim.

The heavily sunk gazes poured all at once.

“Since came this far, someone has to take responsibility. If like this, U-gwang will only sink. Older brother, please make a decision.”

The younger brother President Kim of U-gwang Construction was flashing eyes and urging determination.

Chairman Kim opened his mouth.

“Is that U-gwang’s meaning?”

“Older brother, all this is loyal advice raised with the feeling of cutting flesh and bone for U-gwang.”

“Good. If really so, have no choice but to directly confirm U-gwang’s meaning. Those who think I should resign, raise hands.”

President Kim of U-gwang Construction raised his hand confidently.

The expression was miserable beyond measure, but the confidence and joy soaking out from the voice couldn’t be hidden.

“U-gwang has no time. Now not the time to hesitate but the time to make a decision!”

The affiliate presidents did hollow coughs with uncomfortable faces.

Looking at each other glancing, complicated eye gestures went back and forth.

But no one easily raised a hand.

“Yes, no need to waste time on such a matter. Will count to three. One, two.”

At Chairman Kim’s urging, the affiliate presidents closed eyes tightly and finished the decision.

A few affiliate presidents raised trembling hands.

“Three. U-gwang’s meaning, well understood.”

“Uh, how can this be!”

President Kim of U-gwang Construction couldn’t hide astonishment and stood up abruptly.

“How only seven guys raised hands! This doesn’t make sense!”

“U-seok, the affiliate presidents seem not wanting me to step down. This is precisely U-gwang’s meaning.”

“How did this happen! How can you guys do this to me!”

The rosy future collapsed.

The opportunity to pull down older brother from the head position disappeared like foam.

Even until earlier, as many as 28 affiliate presidents were waiting for him in front of the door.

So President Kim of U-gwang Construction couldn’t help but pour pointing in extreme anger.

“If received money, have to do the money’s worth! Received my money so much until now, ignoring me at this decisive moment? This is betrayal, betrayal! Let go! Said let go!”

Seemed somehow angry.

Due to anger, President Kim of U-gwang Construction’s voice was about to crack.

“Even though the matter became this state, chose older brother not me? What’s so great about older brother more than me?”

Whether heat is boiling inside, the voice became louder.

“I studied better too, taking care of the president group and executive staff was also me! The reason older brother rose to that position is only one, because the eldest son!”

Resentment naturally headed to older brother.

“Business funds? Sold and disposed of father’s fields and prepared! Growing the company? I suffered more than older brother! Running around for U-gwang day and night without sleeping and without eating!”

Seemed very unjust and resentful.

“Suffered together the two, why is older brother the chairman and I only the construction company president! Why older brother’s child starts from executive, and my child starts from employee!”

It was a voice as if spitting blood.

“When older brother just gives orders from a high position, I had to finish all kinds of dirty and filthy works! Then at least should have taken care of wealth and honor for my child!”

The momentum of grabbing older brother’s collar and even fist fighting.

“When older brother’s child does only cool works establishing pride, my child has to take charge of all kinds of dirty works from the bottom? Like me?”

“Your vessel is only that much. Tsk tsk.”

“Older brother!”

“How will pay the price of putting a knife to me. Determination is ready?”

President Kim of U-gwang Construction swallowed dry saliva.

Since the fight started, victory and defeat are bound to split.

The head position is one, and the loser has to pay the price.

“O, older brother. What will you do to me?”

“Said a person who takes responsibility is needed?”

“Then I’ll step down from the construction company president position, and as U-gwang’s representative do a public apology······!”

“Will that work? Public opinion is boiling and the Blue House is watching.”

“O, older brother!”

Only then President Kim of U-gwang Construction began trembling all over.

“U-seok, it’s for U-gwang. Don’t act pathetically.”

The complexions of the rebels held by the U-gwang Group security guards died black.

“As everyone knows, the situation is not good. Not the time to afford embracing even the bastards sticking a knife in my back.”

The simplest method of processing the traitor.

The affiliate presidents who guessed that hardened their expressions.

“Come in!”

When Chairman Kim shouted, the Central Intelligence Agency agents who were waiting outside the door rushed in.

The one coming in foremost was a man like a brown bear.

“Central Intelligence Agency Public Security Bureau affiliated agent Bak Cheol-gu. Investigating regarding the U-gwang Chemicals arson incident. Request cooperation.”

“Those guys. Drag them.”

Chairman Kim pointed at the affiliate presidents who agreed to the head resignation.

Borrowing a knife to kill a person.

Chairman Kim of U-gwang also firmed the meaning of processing with others’ knives rather than staining his own hands with blood.

Because U-gwang driven into a corner anyway needed a sacrifice.

A method of killing two birds with one stone.

“Thank you for U-gwang’s cooperation. Take to the Seobinggo water torture room!”

The affiliate presidents who participated in the rebellion were terrified.

“Wh, what arson!”

“We don’t know such a thing!”

“That is a malicious false accusation that the media is making noise without knowing anything!”

“Unjust and unreasonable words! Unjust!”

The Central Intelligence Agency agents snorted.

“Do the detailed talk in the Central Intelligence Agency interrogation room.”

The notoriety was widespread that at the Central Intelligence Agency, confessions even the sins that exist of course even the sins that don’t exist.

“Got swept up in instigation with a momentary spirit going out!”

“Swear it wasn’t sincere! Please believe!”

Everyone shouted like screams and prostrated begging.

If dragged to the Central Intelligence Agency Seobinggo water torture room, the front of the eyes was dark what would happen.

“Will write a resignation! Please just save!”

“Will pay the price of wrongly playing the mouth and hands today for U-gwang!”

“Will somehow block public opinion without choosing means and methods!”

But Chairman Kim didn’t even look.

“Finding out how far everyone plotted in the U-gwang Chemicals arson is the order. Disposition is the matter after that.”

The one struggling to the end while held was only President Kim of U-gwang Construction.

“Let go! I don’t know the matter! Is there evidence? No!”

“Why no evidence? Then would have called the Central Intelligence Agency with only circumstantial evidence?”

Chairman Kim took out three pages of paper from the bosom.

“The anonymous tip-off that the media was making noise also flew to me.”

When Chairman Kim handed the three pages of tip-off, the affiliate presidents stuck heads to each other and read.

Every time reading, the complexions paled white.

Chairman Kim’s close aides of about ten people were already after reading so didn’t even give eyes with calm expressions, but.

“A statement that the guy who set fire to U-gwang Chemicals received U-gwang’s instruction. Evidence overflows.”

The affiliate presidents had no choice but to burst astonishment like screams.

Because realized that firmly got caught wrong.

“Ch, chairman, did wrong!”

“Please save, chairman!”

“Loyal for thirty years! Considering the merit in the meantime, mercy······!”

Chairman Kim saw the affiliate presidents being dragged out by the Central Intelligence Agency agents with cold eyes.

Uncle Cheol-gu made an oh! sound and welcomed the evidence.

“Even the threat letter!”

“A business card was also enclosed. U-gwang Construction Secretary Choi’s business card.”

“How would a mere bottom private loaner have obtained U-gwang’s secretary’s business card? Seems will become very decisive evidence!”

The other affiliate presidents watching let out moans all at once.

They also know.

If a small and medium company, might not know, large companies meet big shots and finance large amounts at once.

So no matter of meeting bottom private loaners, and no matter of exchanging business cards.

They lived in different worlds, played in different waters, and saw different worlds.

Naturally the affiliate presidents’ angry eyes focused toward President Kim of U-gwang Construction.

“President Kim, really arson to U-gwang Chemicals······!”

“I don’t know the matter!”

President Kim of U-gwang Construction shouted evil.

“Tell to ask the business card owner! Secretary Choi alone arbitrarily······!”

“When you are spouting nonsense here, what do you think Secretary Choi was doing?”

“······!”

“This house’s basement. Would know what kind of place that is.”

So that Secretary Choi burns the shit line tightly and takes out the hidden secret move.

I deliberately didn’t send the business card to Secretary Choi.

The only life being precious is the same for Secretary Choi too.

“S, surely······!”

“Manager Jang, drag that bastard.”

“Yes, chairman!”

Manager Jang who is the U-gwang Group security chief bent his waist.

The U-gwang Group security guards dragged the bloodied Secretary Choi.

The half-dead Secretary Choi was dragged painting a long red trace on the floor.

“S, sorry······. Cough!”

Secretary Choi spat blood and saliva and said.

“Wanted to live······ so did······ Cough!”

Manager Jang wiped his hands with a high-class handkerchief.

But the trace deeply soaked with blood water didn’t erase easily.

Unable to help, Manager Jang had to hand over the object with blood-stained hands.

It was a top-spec American-made recorder.

Click.

President Kim of U-gwang Construction’s voice flowed out.

-That vicious private loaner attached to the Taeseong Chemicals laborer.

-Bulgwang-dong Gasoline?

-Yes, that guy. A guy whose fire-setting skill is not ordinary?

-How else would the nickname be Bulgwang-dong Gasoline? Going around the houses and workplaces of guys who didn’t repay my money and secretly setting fire without even leaving a trace, the skill is art, they say.

Just in time outside the mansion, reporters were camping trying to catch a scoop?

Our Uncle Cheol-gu, will become a star even before going to the press conference tomorrow.
