Can You Make A Nuclear Weapons Too?

Chapter 22

Can you make nuclear weapons too?-22

Chairman Lee Ki-ho’s face, who finally removed the shichimi, showed embarrassment.

Did he feel it himself? After watching me smiling for a long time, he suddenly whispered something to his men around him.

“Yes, then…”

The men who received the rebuke immediately led Kimchi-soo to the auction house.

Chairman Lee Ki-ho, who was watching the scene, this time asked Chairman Han for his understanding and led me to a quiet place.

“Whoa, you forgot for a moment that you are a member of the defense industry. How the hell do you know that I am involved in the brown bear business?”

“If you are a person who is trying to compensate Mr. Kimchi-soo, who has failed for the sake of the nation, wouldn’t he be related to the brown bear business?”

“·················ogue.”

The kimchi-su incident. In other words, he did not speak about the case of the attempted smuggling of cruise missiles.

It wouldn’t be a good idea to discuss a matter that is nothing more than a state secret here.

Even if I don’t say it anyway, Chairman Lee seems to have already noticed that I am telling the truth.

Unsurprisingly, he let out a wild laugh.

“Heh heh, this is really good… well, how much do you know about the second brown bear project?”

“Well, the degree to which our government, having acquired quite a bit of technology from the imported T80U tank in the first phase, wanted to receive various weapons in the second vehicle as well? However, Russia refused, and in the end, a portable anti-tank missile and a Murena air-lifting boat were used in the second round. And we know that the Ka-32A is going to be converted into a fire-fighting helicopter.”

“·················ogue.”

“And that the reason the government succumbed was the result of not being able to convince the Russian government, which was upset over Mr. Kimchi-soo’s case, any longer.”

He looked blankly for a while.

Fortunately, there was no question about how I knew such a detailed story.

Well, actually, there’s no guarantee that I’ll answer that question properly, so it’s a wise move.

“I’m sorry, but in this situation, I hope you don’t make excuses that you don’t have that kind of ability.”

I put a wedge on it just in case.

As if he had no intention of doing so, a smirk spewed out of Chairman Lee Ki-ho’s mouth.

“If such an excuse had worked, I would have denied it to the end. But why do you want to see the person in charge?”

“It is, of course, for the benefit of this country. No, to be precise, it must be for the benefit of me and this country. I can’t give you more details right now, but the president just needs to arrange a meeting with me and the person in charge.”

Chairman Lee Ki-ho just looked at me without saying a word.

Perhaps he had made up his mind, as soon as he reached out his hand, there was a faint smile on his face.

“Okay, if this counts as no debt to each other. Instead, you need some time to spare. Apparently, the person in charge is on a business trip to Russia right now, so he comes back to Korea after a couple of months.”

“That’s enough to wait.”

He readily answered and took his hand.

Meanwhile, a chairman, unable to contain his curiosity, approached us, and Chairman Lee Ki-ho immediately changed his expression and whispered to me.

“By the way, isn’t that a loss for Mr. Jin? If only that were the condition.”

At first glance, you might think so.

However, if my plan is successful, it will be able to generate profits worth trillions of won.

Giving up only a few billions isn’t a problem.

No, I am very grateful to have met them in such an unexpected place and seized the opportunity.

“Well, it remains to be seen whether or not that will be considered a sham.”

[1998 The successful bidder of 80881 is….]

The winning bidder was Kimchi Soo in the end.

A president who did not know English repeatedly asked me why he had graciously conceded to me, but he was unable to reveal that.

“Well, there are a lot of opportunities. By the way, it seems that Chairman Lee Ki-ho is more closely related to the government than I thought.”

“Tsuk, that’s why I always beat up my friend. What could be good about a money man who is close to the government?”

Chairman Han emphasized his philosophy.

It’s not really wrong, but in the case of Chairman Lee Ki-ho, it feels a bit vague to attach that standard.

“Anyway, things got a little more complicated, maybe that’s good.”

I stared at him, not understanding what he was saying.

For a moment, he smirked with a shy expression on his face.

“You eventually gave up on the auction because of me. As a result, I didn’t keep my first promise, so what would I like to compensate for that?”

In fact, it is as if the reward has already been received.

It wasn’t that I gave up in the will to save the face of Chairman Han in the first place.

But if he dares to think that it is his fault, there is no reason to dissuade him.

For a moment, I thought about what I could get from him.

“Hmm······.”

As I pondered for a while, a thought suddenly crossed my mind.

After all, it’s true that at this time of year, if you buy any auction item, it will go up.

Then, if there is more money, I wonder if it will be possible to maximize profit creation.

“If that bothers you, lend me some interest-free money.”

“I want you to borrow money. Why all of a sudden?”

“When I think about it, I don’t think it is necessary to use the ten opportunities that the president suggested in order. As long as you support us, we plan to hold an auction at the same time.”

“·················ogue.”

The president gave a look of dismay at that remark.

But there’s nothing really wrong with what I said.

He clearly said he would give him ten chances, but he didn’t say he would give them in order.

“Are you going to hold multiple buildings at once?”

“That’s right.”

“You seem to be misunderstanding something, but auctions are not all about making profits just by winning bids. Thorough analysis of things and…”

“You don’t have to worry about analyzing stuff. And in fact, what I needed the President was not analysis, but the strength of the President. The power that makes no one dare even try to put a spoon on my fortune-telling.”

“·················ogue.”

His brow twitched for a moment.

But what if it’s true?

I wondered if I was offended, but considering that the wrinkles on the nasolabial folds didn’t even move, it seems that’s not the case.

“Are you confident in analyzing things?”

“of course.”

“It’s so… Okay, I’m the one who didn’t keep the promise anyway, so I’ll lend it to you for about three months without interest. How much would it be?”

Three months is more than enough.

After all, it is a time when real estate is slowly starting to wriggle to find its place again.

In particular, if you only focus on Gangnam, where the movement is more intense, the probability of failure is close to zero.

“Why no answer? How much would it be…”

“It would be a hundred billion dollars. If that’s enough, with the extra funds I have, I will be able to win two or three large buildings at the same time.”

“A thousand, a hundred billion?”

“Chief! It’s the first snow.”

One day in November, Secretary Kim entered his office with a fuss.

Snowflakes were really falling from the sky outside the window I looked at without thinking, and the world had just turned white.

Whoops.

There are now only two left of the 1998 calendar.

It has been 10 months since I returned to this world.

Oddly enough, those 10 months felt like 10 days to me because I had been through so many different things.

‘Come to think of it, the first meeting with Chairman Han was already three months ago.’

To be precise, it was a little less than three months.

However, during the three months of the auction with his help, my cash equivalents have grown to 100 billion won.

This will be used as seed money for future equity purchases.

“Well, we have to take into account the increase due to the company’s earnings growth, but that’s unavoidable.”

“Yeah?”

“No, don’t worry, I was just lamenting about you. By the way, when it snows so much, it will be difficult to move anywhere.”

At first glance, cars were tangled in the street outside the window.

Under these circumstances, it would be unreasonable to go outside.

Apparently, I have to work only over the wire today.

“Did you have any news from the Changwon plant?”

“Yes, there were no special events. As scheduled, the sensor module production has started in earnest and is in stock.”

The sensor module development commissioned by Samjeong had been successfully completed.

If parts stocking has started, it means that a prototype will be produced soon.

Then, in about ten days, it will be possible to conduct a performance test under the observation of the people concerned.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

“There should be no mistakes in preparing for the upcoming performance tests. Keep that in mind and ask the factory to do its best to prepare.”

“Yes sir.”

Leaving behind Secretary Kim, who hurriedly left the room, I unintentionally looked at the desk.

“Hmm······.”

When it was brought, the interim report of the institute’s interim settlement was on the desk.

‘By the way, is this the time for each company to prepare their accounts?’

As I was looking at the reports for settlement of accounts, I suddenly had a desire to check the total size of my assets.

How much wealth have I been able to multiply after the return?

The thought soon led to action, and the notebook that had organized the list of assets caught my eye, so I immediately went to check it out.

‘The current Thales stake is 4% in total. Converting this into cash, that’s about 120 billion won. And since I have 100 billion won in cash and about 60 billion won invested in the research center so far…’

Excluding the real estate I owned, my assets had reached approximately 280 billion won.

However, it is only a numerical property, and considering the amount that will be consumed for the future equity purchase, there is virtually no room for it.

‘If it wasn’t for the acquisition of shares… well, wouldn’t it be a disappointment? Now, the lab is also generating revenue.’

That was comforting.

The research institute, which used to be a money-eating ghost, has now entered the point of earning full-scale profits.

In particular, the growth of the research institute was remarkable, and the fact that the rate of increase in revenue is increasing by 100% every month is quite encouraging.

‘At the time when only seven items were commercialized, the net profit was 5 billion won per month… If this growth is like this, by the end of next year, when one-third of the developed items are commercialized, the net profit could reach at least 200 billion won.’

That would be on a level comparable to any other large company in this era.

No, Jaewoo Aerospace’s net profit this year was about 150 billion won, so it means that my research institute will be able to exceed at least Aerospace by next year.

If the rapid growth continues at this rate, it will be of great help in securing a full-fledged stake in Thales in the future.

‘Tug, if the research center can be listed immediately, it can be solved in one shot…’

If that was possible, it would have been possible to generate at least trillions of surplus funds.

The ripple effect of the technologies we have is so great, and the number of patents we have is not that great.

But now, listing requirements are not met, and the timing is not right.

‘In conclusion, it is only at the end of next year when the research center maximizes its profits to target the second largest shareholder of Thales.’

At that moment, the cell phone rang out of the blue and Chairman Jin’s name appeared on the screen.

For some reason, after leaving behind a moment of doubt, he answered the phone call, and he said in a soft voice.

-I have something urgent to tell you, so if you have time, come over to my house after work.

“What’s going on?”
