Whoops.

Hasad looked at me again as soon as he finished speaking.

Ttt, on the subject of not being able to pick up and eat even if you spread the plate...

I said, biting my tongue.

[Okay then, I will convey the government's position on behalf of the Minister. First of all, I would like the government to help Saudi Arabia for a stable supply of crude oil.]

[It doesn't make any sense to see your brother in trouble and just let it go. It is possible, so there is no need to worry.]

[Thank you for saying that, but the problem is the supply and demand price.]

[Ah! Obviously, the problem is a bit tricky. In the meantime, the price Iran has been supplying to Korea is very different from the price we are solving.]

Hasad looked worried for a moment.

At a glance, Minister Lee Hoon-jae had a very nervous expression on his face.

After all, he must have been the one riding the shit more than me, so it's not something he can't understand.

[If possible, would it be possible to supply at the same level as the supply in Iran?]

He turned his gaze back to Hassad and alluded to.

Their gazes all at once fell on him, and Hasad replies with a smirk.

[Let's do that. us and jaewoo No, how much has Korea built up so far, but we can’t ignore Cheong.]

"Oh oh!"

In an instant, a low exclamation spit out from the mouths of the foreign ministry staff.

However, the negotiations are not over yet.

I immediately spit out the second key.

[Then what do you plan to do with the price increase in the future?]

Hassard picked up the papers that had been placed on the table again, as if he knew the words would come out.

After examining it for a while, he floats his luck with a faint smile.

[Chairman Jin is well aware that the rise in crude oil prices will increase in the future, right?]

The fact that the rise in crude oil prices in the future will be exponential is, in fact, I know better than that.

That's why I'm trying so hard right now.

But you can't show it when you're negotiating.

I looked at him with a puzzled expression on my face, and Hassad looked at the document again as if he wasn't asking a question to get an answer.

[Okay, for the next 10 years, we will supply it at the same price that Iran sold. Even if the price of crude oil rises, it is on the condition that the price of the quantity supplied to Korea is not adjusted by more than 10% per year.]

I was surprised by that.

It is history that the price of crude oil will increase by an average of 30% or more from next year.

In the meantime, if we fix the increase at 10%, wouldn't we be guaranteed a tremendous stabilization of crude oil prices?

[Are you serious? But what if the upward trend of international crude oil prices steepens?]

I asked out of curiosity.

Then Hasad, who suddenly touched my shoulder, expressed the affirmation by saying goodbye to the brother again this time.

[Did you say that? A true brother is to help when you are in trouble. However, one thing to be aware of is that Korea will only cover 70% of the supply from the Middle East.]

Perhaps that is also an expression of Hasad's will to minimize risks.

No matter how much you talk about your brothers, business is business.

It is true that the greater the damage, the greater the burden.

But there is no disappointment.

We still have another oil producing country that can supply the UAE, and the remaining 30% of the Middle East's supply and demand is enough to procure there.

No, in terms of diversification of supply and demand, it might be a good thing because it is on the better side.

[For reference, the remaining 30% will probably be handled by the UAE. We had an agreement with Prince Mohammed in advance, so the conditions must be similar to ours. Simply put, it means that you do not have to worry about Korea's oil supply and demand problem anymore.]

Hasad said as if he had read my thoughts.

Is there a time to be more grateful than this?

I immediately reached out to him, and he slapped my hand tight and let out a roaring laugh.

[Haha, okay, so let's end the troublesome conversation with this and talk a little bit more about our business?]

At that, he smiled and looked at Minister Lee Hoon-jae.

Bored barley sack.

Is there any other word more appropriate than this?

As if he had felt it himself, Minister Lee Hoon-jae was showing a face full of bewilderment.

'Huh?'

But then I saw a familiar figure staring at me.

Prince bin Halman.

Perhaps so many years have passed, Bin Halman, who was only a boy before, has become a full-fledged young man.

“·················ogue.”

******

smart!

Late at night, someone knocked on the door of my room.

If the bodyguards who are guarding are silent, it must mean that I am a safe being.

I thought it might be Minister Lee Hoon-jae, so I glanced through the hole in the door, but the person standing in front of the door was Prince Bin Halman.

[What is the prince doing here?]

I immediately opened the door and met him.

He was holding something in his hand, and he suddenly held it to me and smiled.

[I brought it in case you remember it.]

What he brought out was a can of beer.

What is taboo in Arab countries.

I look at him with bewildered eyes, but the prince smiles again.

[It is harsh to ask guests to follow the laws of this country. And since they sell beer to foreigners anyway, it shouldn't be a problem.]

I had felt it before, but every word he said was definitely unusual.

A young man destined to drive out my cousin and become the crown prince of this country.

I had a strange feeling, and my expression became awkward.

[I've worked hard to prepare this, aren't you going to eat it?]

[Is that so? But the reason why you suddenly came to me...]

[I just wanted to chat. About the fate of Arab countries, including the revolving international situation. I think that among the people I know, Chairman Jin Hyun-seung is the most savvy person in the future.]

I smiled faintly at that.

For the words of a being who was only 20 years old, there seemed to be some depth.

By the way, I also couldn't sleep, so we continued talking to him, and our conversation continued until it was almost 2:00 in the morning.

[After all, Chairman Jin is different from others in many ways. I beg you, please help me, or Saudi Arabia, a lot in the future.]

His last words were somehow meaningful.

It was as if he had a foreboding of what he was going to do in the future.

For a moment, I had goosebumps all over my back, but I tried to put on a forced smile.

widely!

After he left the room, his mind went blank for a while.

Even if it's fate for him to rise to the throne anyway, wouldn't that shorten even that time? from the desire to

Well, that would be a bit of a concern.

What kind of power does a man who is only 20 years old now have?

'Even so, the possibility that the historical event that will change the crown prince of this country will be accelerated is high...'

******

A few days later, the itinerary in the UAE, the second destination, ended with ease.

Thanks to the pre-negotiation between Hasad and Mohammed already.

All we had to do was to sign the documents prepared in advance, and for the next full day we were all about coordinating the expansion of fund management and discussing other problems facing the UAE.

such as food self-sufficiency and seawater desalination projects.

[Then I look forward to seeing you again soon. As you know, please remember that the desalination project is quite important for us.]

Mohammed was completely focused on talking to me throughout our stay in the UAE.

Even there, there is no more pride in Minister Lee Hoon-jae's face, who has become a barley sack that has been borrowed.

By the time I got on the chartered flight to Korea again, it came to the point where he finally came to me and apologized.

“I, Chairman Jin. Please understand the work at the airport a little. It was such a serious issue, so I guess I was overly sensitive.”

He turned around again before he could even hear my reply.

He didn't know where to put himself in awkwardness rather than trying to take care of his pride.

He thought he didn't want to talk, so I passed it on with an awkward laugh.

"You did a really good job."

After arriving at Incheon International Airport, a large number of welcoming people gathered.

From reporters who heard the news to government officials.

The person who stood out in particular was the Chief of Staff, but it was a bit surprising that we were the right person who should always be by the president's side, so we immediately approached him.

“What are you doing here, Chief Secretary?”

“Haha, the president can’t come to meet you directly, so I have to come too. Anyway, I have heard the news.”

The chief of staff spoke his words in a very low voice and glanced at the other side.

In the direction of Minister Lee Hoon-jae, who is having a conversation with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs staff who met him with a serious expression.

I don't know why Lee Hoon-jae was so serious, but I could barely guess what the news that the chief of staff had heard was.

“Has the work at the airport already reached your ears?”

“My ears are always open. Anyway, on behalf of the government, I apologize for the matter. Ah! And, there is going to be a major change in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in the near future, and that might be of some comfort.”

“Are you comforting me?”

“This personnel reorganization includes the position of a minister, so it is a comfort to Chairman Jin.”

“Are you saying that the ministers will change again? No, how long has it been since reorganization?”

It was incomprehensible.

A change of minister after only six months.

It doesn't make sense to say that it is simply because of a conflict with me, and it feels like there is a different reason.

For example, there was an accident that could cause the current government to ignore the ruling party.

Unsurprisingly, the chief of staff immediately continued the conversation.

“We can't just let people paint the image of the country. Actually, while Chairman Jin was in Saudi Arabia, there was a lot of commotion in Korea.”

“·················ogue.”

“Another sexual assault incident occurred at the Italian embassy. As a result, the image of the country has been ruined. By the way, in the case of the official in question, Minister Lee Hoon-jae personally selected him, so there is a high possibility that he will be sacked together.”

Of course, if it was an accident like that, the minister would also be at risk.

Especially if it's an accident caused by the person he puts in.(Read more @ hotmtlnovel.xyz)

As a government, it was like a thorn in the eye, so it seems like the intention to blow it up this time, but considering the reality, that would be better.

“It’s unfortunate. By the way, if I see you personally come to meet me, do I have to go to the Blue House?”

It was fortunate that the incompetent minister was blown away, but somehow I wanted to avoid it.

A situation where fatigue from a long flight piled up.

I wanted to refrain from going to the Blue House in this condition.

“No, you don't have to. After all, there are other guests at the Blue House right now.”

“A guest?”

"Ah! You are meeting with the American ambassador.”

Even if I didn't have to listen, I could guess what the meeting was for.

The problem of payment of oil prices frozen due to US action.

If the situation had progressed like this, of course, Iran would have demanded it, and our government, which was in trouble, would have no choice but to convince the United States.

But is it really that easy?

It was a problem that I couldn't solve until I came back.

Perhaps the problem will always be a problem for the government.

“The government must be in a lot of trouble.”

At the end of the thought, I spit out the words involuntarily.

The head of the secretary, whose eyes twinkled for a moment, looked at me and lifted his shoulders with the expression that I was not a big deal. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

“At this point, there is nothing more to talk about with the US ambassador than the frozen Iranian oil price. But the U.S. can’t allow that, so of course it’s a headache.

“Heh heh, you’re talking as if you were at the scene.”

The chief of staff still spoke with twinkling eyes.

If you keep talking, you might want to suggest a solution to me.

He immediately uses the excuse of fatigue as an excuse to rush home, but as expected, he throws a tantrum.

“What do you think of Chairman Jin? Will there be any sharp edges to solve the money freeze?”

“No, no. Unless America changes its mind.”

It would be a pity from a listening standpoint, but that was my honest opinion.

Contrary to history, the United States has been hard-lined from the first sanctions.

Because of that, the quota system enjoyed by Korea and Japan is not applied, and foreign exchange transactions, which were partially allowed, are completely banned.

Literally, we have no choice but to change the heart of America.

'But that's not a problem I'll be able to solve on my own. At least for now...'
