Closed Beta I Played Alone

Apocrypha 19. Hong Jooyoung (18).

Myeong-dong, Seoul.

In the middle of Myeong-dong, which is as expensive as Gangnam in terms of land price, there was a magnificent hanok house reminiscent of a nobleman's house in the Joseon Dynasty.

However, the general public did not know about the existence of the hanok house.

All the surrounding large land including the hanok house was privately owned, and the entire property was surrounded by high walls and CCTV.

There were also quite a few security guards resident there.

Of course, the general public did not know that there is such a space in Myeong-dong, let alone a hanok house, but those in the know knew who owned the hanok house.

That it is the house of Lee Chae-san, a giant in the underground economy and the big-bang in the Korean bond market.

And Lee Chae-san had no choice but to frown at the words of his eldest son.

"grandfather! Hong Jooyoung That bastard punched me first! I am a victim. victim!"

If it was Lee Chae-san, he would have yelled at his eldest son's words.

Making a difficult job with Myeongjin, one of Korea's leading companies?

Of course it wasn't.

No matter how famous he was for Lee Chae-san, he couldn't be bothered with a job like this.

Myeongjin is also a Myeongjin, but it was not for nothing that he was being evaluated as a giant in the underground economy and holding the Korean bond market in one hand.

In other words, if he yelled, there was only one reason.

It was a 3rd year and only a freshman, but the evaluation is different now, but until just before, Hong Jooyoung, who was rumored to be defective even among the chaebol families, was smashed.

Lee Chae-san would have been screaming about it.

But this time he didn't yell.

It's been a while since he heard the news he couldn't believe.

In other words, due to the nature of what he does, Lee Chae-san is more illegal than legal.

As such, Chae-san Lee had relatively many opportunities to encounter stories that other people would not be able to see easily.

The bond market is also a market, but the underground economy of Korea was never at a low level to the extent that others looked down on it.

Moreover, there was a place where Lee Chae-san had a very close relationship.

Exactly Japan.

Some of the money he rolled was also from Japan.

So, Chae-San Lee was able to get in touch with a story with a lot of difficulty through Japan, which has a very close relationship.

That is, the Japanese lobbyist, who was holding a sticky cord in the US politics, was cut off.

A ruthless blade that can almost be called a blood purge.

Naturally, Japan was shocked and moved immediately, but he said that it did not earn much.

'Hmm. At that time, the Japanese lobbyists were working on crude oil…’

Japan has an economic structure similar to that of Korea.

No, except for the domestic market, Korea and Japan had similar economic structures enough to be called twins.

In other words, it also meant that Japan was in dire need of oil.

As long as Japan cannot produce its own oil, there is no way to prevent Saudi Arabia's cuts in oil production due to terrorism, even if it is a wonderful trick to break through Iran's blockade of the Strait of Hormuz.

In other words, all that is left is the United States.

And then there was a rumor that was leaking out to the Japanese lobbyists.

[Korea. All high-ranking politicians, including the president of the United States, have abandoned Japan and turned to friendly relations!]

When he first heard the story, Lee Chae-san, of course, did not believe it.

It is said that both Korea and Japan are very important allies to the United States, to the point where it is impossible to distinguish between superiority and inferiority, but Japan is still closer.

That's what he actually did as well.

But the news came soon after.

[U.S. Secretary of Commerce, Assistant Secretary of the Interior, and Special Adviser Thomas Tyler, a close aide to President William, enter the Republic of Korea!]

[Exxon Mobil's Vice President Ian and Chevren's Bacon branch in charge of Far East Asia also entered Korea together!]The United States towards Korea, not Japan.

Lee Chae-san couldn't help but be embarrassed.

Because he had no idea who could get America to turn away from Japan, which was like the tongue in his mouth, and to turn America around.

Of course, it wasn't long before Chae-san Lee knew where America was made.

Exactly Myungjin.

Then, Lee Chae-san flowed from the underground economy, but even if it was vain, I could recall the incident where it was too vain and laughed and passed.

[De Beers headquarters has been robbed!]

[De Beers has lost all the diamonds he was keeping!]

[The one who stole all those diamonds is an Asian!]

[Chairman De Beers Connenti moved to Sierra Leone to negotiate with the Asian!]

Up until this point, Lee Chae-san looked at the rumors that were secretly circulating underground with a lot of interest.

Especially because of the saying that the culprit is an Asian.

However, at the rumors that followed, Lee Chae-san snorted.

because.

[Chairman Connenti eventually succumbed to the Asian and gifted him a huge amount of diamonds.]

[The Asian man gulped the high-class mines in Sierra Leone that De Beers occupied, and when the Asian disappeared, his subordinate appeared...]

[It was Korean.]

[The Korean, who appears to be an oriental subordinate, belonged to a place called Myungjin.]

Those who belonged to Myeongjin.

Lee Chae-san burst out laughing there.

I immediately lost interest.

Obviously, the floor was a place where everyone was surprised to say, “Huh!” but it was also a place where false information that couldn’t even fit into the third-class scoundrels was circulating.

However, the appearance of the United States taking the form of repaying crude oil rather than selling crude oil from a favorable position in Myeongjin, where supply and demand for crude oil is urgent due to the oil crisis, made Lee Chae-san think that maybe it was not a lie at all.

And considering all that, Myeongjin is now.

‘It’s dragon. Dragon. After all, it made the United States abandon the country of Japan and choose a company belonging to the Republic of Korea called Myungjin.’

Moreover, in the eyes of Chae-San Lee, it was not something that could end with just one crude oil.

If there was only one crude oil, it wouldn't matter if only ExxonMobil and Sabren came.

That's a more common sense move.

However, the US Commerce Secretary with a heavy buttocks, the Deputy Secretary of the Interior, and the current President William's closest aides moved together.

“……”

In other words, when Lee Chae-san, who prides herself on having a better sense than anyone else, saw her, making trouble with Myung-jin was the worst.

That is why it seemed better to lie flat on Myungjin now.

However, the eldest son who has been fighting with the direct line of the Myeong-jin.

Of course, there were no good words.

therefore.

“Apologize to that Hong Jooyoung right now!”

"Yes? grandfather! How can I apologize to such a bastard! He was the one who had heard the sound of an asshole until not too long ago!”

Lee Kyung-young shouts in surprise at Lee Chae-san's words.

But Lee Chae-san opened her mouth again without blinking an eye.

“If you won't apologize, get out of this house right now! I’m going to hit you with a grandson that doesn’t exist!”

“……”

Lee Kyung-young was well aware that her grandfather was a person who never spoke empty words.

In other words, what you are saying is true.

Of course, within Lee Kyung-young, resentment against Hong Jooyoung was boiling.

However.

"...Yes. all right."

In response, Lee Chae-san sent Lee Kyung-young outside as if kicking him out.

at the same time.

“Come in.”

whoops.

A space I thought was a wall.

The wall was pushed slightly, creating a new space, and someone appeared in the space.

And someone who appeared, went straight to the front of Mt. Lee Chae and knelt down on her knees.

Lee Chae-san opened her mouth calmly, as if it had happened often.

“Lee Kyung-young, that guy probably won’t apologize. I'd rather think it's embarrassing. So, you all suggest making a seat in Myeongjin.”

"all right."

With those words, the man who appeared in her secret space again hid himself using the secret space.

After that, Lee Chae-san put her cigarette in her mouth and stayed there for a while, then softly opened her mouth.

“Maybe this is a good opportunity.”

Myungjin seems to fly so much that it cannot be caught in an instant.

I thought that if Lee Chae-san made a good relationship with Myeong-jin this time, it might be a surplus business.

of course.

“Lee Kyung-young should be locked up for the time being.”

Lee Chae-san knew the character of her eldest grandson Lee Kyung-young very well.

Because she looks like herself.

She was the one she loved the most among her grandchildren and grandchildren.

***

next day.

The Chairman's Office of the Myeongjin Group Headquarters.

"President. At 3 pm, President Oh Cheong-gi of the Federation of Korean Businesses requested a meeting.”

At the secretary's words, Chairman Hong Sang-man put down the documents he was looking at and opened his mouth softly.

"today?"

"Yes."

“Anything else?”

“There was nothing.”

“Hmm… tell me you got it.”

"Yes. all right."

Korea Federation of Entrepreneurs.

However, Chairman Hong Sang-man also belonged to the Federation of Korean Businessmen.

He was paying the full annual dues just because he was a member.

However, Chairman Hong Sang-man was not particularly active as a member.

After all, it was the greens and the rice, and it was a place that had no particular strength or coercion.

It was already transformed as it was transformed.

Of course, it was really powerful in the past.

No, it had to be.

It was because they had no choice but to unite in order to protect themselves and the company against the dictatorial politicians who saw companies and managers only as a means of extracting money.

But now?

Its position has long since been reversed.As someone said, politicians live in Paris for a period of time, but chaebols have gone on for three generations even if they go bankrupt.

So now, the Korean Federation of Businesses is just a sham.

Anyway, Chairman Hong Sang-man immediately turned his attention away and focused on his work.

These days, I have a lot of people to meet and I am so busy that I do not have time to rest.

just before 3pm.

Chief Executive Officer Seok In-su, a close aide to Chairman Hong Sang-man, had already received a report from the secretary's office that at 3 pm, President Oh Cheong-gi of the Federation of Korean Industries was visiting Myeongjin.

So, while he was preparing to welcome President Oh Cheong-gi, he was able to confirm that President Oh Cheong-gi appeared in the lobby of Myeongjin with someone.

Of course, it is very natural to have one or two attendants or bodyguards following along.

However, the person next to Oh Cheong-gi was a person that Director Seok In-su knew well.

even more these days.

Because it was Lee Chae-san, a giant of the underground economy and holding the Korean bond market in one hand.

So, In-su Seok, the chief of staff, quickly issued an order to the secretary's office.

“The elevator directly connected to the president’s room is said to be in repair, and Chairman Oh Chung-ki and his party are tied up for a while.”

"Yes!"

"all right!"

Those who belonged to Myeong-jin's secretary's office moved quickly according to orders, without any doubts about what Seok In-soo said.

Of course, Seok In-soo, the head of the department.

After a while.

Chairman Hong Sang-man's office.

“So, Chairman Oh Cheong-gi is coming with a man named Chae-san Lee?”

"Yes."

"Hmm..."

Chairman Hong Sang-man salivated for a moment at the report of Director Seok In-soo.

Meanwhile, Director Seok In-soo continued to speak.

“Yesterday Jooyoung asked me a favor. I want you to learn more about Lee Chae-san.”

"The reason is?"

“As it turned out, I had a conflict with a student named Lee Kyung-young, who is Chae-san Lee’s dear grandson in high school. Because of the friction, a student named Lee Kyung-young passed out and passed out.”

“Are you going to come to Myungjin just for that?”

“Isn’t it humility? He is known for having quite wide feet. There is also a lot of greed. To that extent, he must have been a child to see Myung-jin and sit still.”

“It’s greed…”

Chairman Hong Sang-man felt that the latter was more appropriate.

Then he quietly opened his mouth.

“By the way, what is Jooyoung’s request?”

“All investigations are over. I plan to put it into paperwork and hand it over to Jooyoung-kun tomorrow.”

"okay. Do that.”

“Then what do you want to do with Lee Chae-san?”

“Bring it in. I wonder what to say.”

"Yes. all right."

Chairman Hong Sang-man was curious as he said that.

To be honest, he couldn't even measure his youngest son's abilities now.

I wouldn't have done any research on Lee Chae-san for nothing.

‘Then can I just watch?’

First of all, Chairman Hong Sang-man made that decision and waited for the real guest, Lee Chae-san.
