Investor That Can See The Future

Chapter 84

We headed to K Company first.

The new office I moved to recently was a complete mess. All documents were swept away, and even computers were confiscated. Dozens of employees sat blankly in front of empty desks.

It’s not a search and seizure, it’s like a gang of robbers broke in and robbed it. I try to work, but I can’t do anything because I don’t have a computer and papers.

Hyunjoo noona also said that she was shocked.

“This place has been completely smashed. I just sent a few letters of cooperation to Golden Gate.”

This is the difference between the current administration’s treatment of domestic and foreign companies.

Even if he beats his own dog to his heart’s content, his other dog’s dog will look out for the owner’s attention.

Senior Ki Hong asked.

“What should I do now?”

“I have to start working again.”

After all, it is enough to download important data as it is in the cloud.

The problem is that K-company trends are reported directly to the Blue House. If you find out that you have resumed work, a search and seizure may come in again.

I asked Hyunjoo noona.

“Are there any rooms left at the Golden Gate?”

My sister nodded her head.

“There are a lot of empty rooms.”

The Korean branch has not yet filled half of its workforce. Because of this, the whole building is empty.

It won’t be easy to get to the Golden Gate building.

clap!

I said clapping my hands.

“Come on, everyone, calm down.”

The eyes of the staff turned to me at once.

“From today, this office is closed. We will move to the Golden Gate Building for a while, so please pack your bags and move to the next building.”

“·················ogue.”

Everyone looked like they didn’t know English.

It would be absurd to see a young man appearing with the Golden Gate branch manager and giving orders while the company was raided and the CEO went to the prosecution.

A male employee got up and asked.

“Who are you?”

i told him

“My name is Jinhu Kang. For a while, I will be in charge of K Company. So please follow my instructions from now on.”

* * *

The 17th floor of the Golden Gate Building. In an empty office, Golden Gate employees, who received instructions from Hyun-joo’s sister, cleaned their desks and installed computers, fax machines, and printers.

Prior to being summoned to the prosecution, Sangyeop senior uploaded data about her takeover on her cloud. Thanks to this, I was able to quickly grasp the situation and give work instructions to the employees.

Senior Ki Hong asked me.

“How about the representative?”

Without Sangyeop senior, K Company cannot function properly. Are you worried that the company will collapse like this?

I said it so everyone could hear it.

“CEO Park Sang-yeop will be back soon, and there will be no problems with the company. So, everyone, just focus on your work.”

After the situation was settled to some extent, I went up to the branch manager’s office with Hyunjoo noona.

My sister gave us a cell phone.

“It’s a Golden Gate corporate cell phone. Use this in the future.”

We took the cell phone.

“I’m not conducting an espionage operation, and I don’t know what they are doing.”

When I checked with the telecommunication company, all of my call history was also inquired. It is said that they cannot tell who made the inquiry and for what purpose.

I saw an article about illegal civilian inspection a few years ago, but I never imagined that I would be the target.

Hyun-joo’s older sister called the head of the legal team.

“Learn about the relationship between PAS and President Park Si-hyung. Other than that, investigate every little thing about President Park Si-hyung and report it to me.”

“Okay.”

It is impossible for Golden Gate to collect information or inspect illegally like the National Intelligence Service. However, since the financial sector is a place where money moves, information is faster than anywhere else.

If you are determined and start digging for information, you will be able to find out a lot.

Hyunjoo noona said with a cold smile.

“You have to pay back what you suffered.”

“·················ogue.”

If the president had seen this look, wouldn’t he think he was touching the wrong person?

* * *

I stopped thinking about going home.

He’s busy with work, and he’s afraid that someone around the house is monitoring him. I’d rather work here.

K Company became the most famous investment company in Korea after Brexit. Such a company was raided and searched, and surprisingly, there was no article in the press. The same was true of the arrest of the CEO of OTK Company.

Taek-gyu was arrested. Even so, there is no way that K Company will know about the search and seizure. Still, the fact that there are no articles, does that mean that you know and don’t write?

Media control is so scary.

Perhaps thanks to Taek-gyu’s arrest, Sang-yeop senior was released soon. He wasn’t arrested in the first place, he was just summoned and held by force.

It looks like he has lost all the weight because he has suffered a lot.

I tapped Sangyeop’s shoulder.

“It was hard.”

“Why was Taek-gyu arrested?”

“It must have been a misunderstanding.”

Senior Sangyeop, who heard my explanation, was absurd.

“You asked for a warrant like that, and the court accepted it?”

“Looks like it’s all in one go.”

“·················ogue.”

After a while, Sangyeop, who came to his senses, asked. “So Taek-gyu is okay?”

“I’m doing my best to exercise my right to remain silent.”

The prosecutor questioned them piece by piece, but Taek-gyu listened with one ear and blew through the other, like who’s dog is making it? . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . The lawyer didn’t even make an argument.

There were two main things that they claimed to be a sin.

One is about what kind of money you set up a corporation in a tax haven, and the other is that transactions using insider information during the L6 crisis are suspected.

But after they find and investigate the evidence, they have to bring it in. If they call the suspect and ask him to prove that he is not guilty, what will he do?

I have no intention of prosecuting it anyway. They’re just trying to hold on until the US presidential election is over.

“I never dreamed I was holding the wrong person.”

The legal team at Golden Gate is in charge of defending Taek-gyu.

You may think it’s natural that your sister is the president of the Korean branch, but running the company for his family is clearly an act of betrayal.

Therefore, it is concluded that Taek-gyu is an important customer of Golden Gate… that is, an official of OTK Company.

For that reason, the prosecution did not have the slightest suspicion.

Senior Sangyeop smiled bitterly.

“Thanks for saving me time.”

* * *

Eli and Henry worked with Hyun-joo’s sister on the 38th floor in the branch manager’s office, and Sang-yeop and I worked with K Company’s employees on the 17th floor.

If there is anything to be done or received documents, I have sent senior Ki Hong. Senior Sangyeop encouraged the employees to avenge the company’s robbery, and the K Company employees were furious and devoted themselves to their work.

Ki-hong, who returned, had a pile of papers in his hand.

“Where can I put this?”

“Put it on your desk and go.”

He had something he wanted to say to me. Just by looking at the current situation, you can tell that my position is not common.

Maybe I’ll have time to explain later.

I let Ki Hong-senpai out and made a video call with her Daryl.

Negotiations with the FCA Group have been successfully completed.

I took over all of Chrysler’s U.S. factories, employment succession, and debt, and approved the merger with Karos.

OTK Company now has a large manufacturing company as a subsidiary.

said Daryl.

“Right now, Chrysler is in a situation where it is not good to say the least.”

The US Big Triple had the lowest sales volume and operating margin, and quality issues continued to arise. Another challenge was the reduction of the distribution network and friction with dealers.

FCA Group also lacked money, so instead of providing proper support at the head office level, they rushed to the immediate sales volume. As a result, new car development was delayed and the quality was inevitably lowered.

“It doesn’t matter if sales volume drops, so put all your energy into improving quality and developing new cars.”

“Okay.”

The automotive industry has high fixed costs. You can’t close factories or lay off workers just because sales are sluggish and you’re in a loss.

Fortunately, we have abundant financial resources.

I asked Daryl.

“Are you sure?”

Originally, he was a developer developing artificial intelligence. Then he took over the joint venture Carros, which was acquired by the OTK Company, and then merged with Chrysler to become the CEO of the giant automaker.

Daryl showed strong confidence.

“Combining it with Karos’ technology will make you the best of the Big Three.”

That’s probable enough. If a driverless car capable of fully autonomous driving is released, the paradigm for automobiles will change completely.

Laws are a problem, but this will be resolved automatically when Ronald becomes president.

Shouldn’t we be considering the case of a surge in sales?

Nikola, one of the leaders in electric vehicles, received 500,000 reservations for new models, but only produced 200,000 units a year.

It hastily started to expand the plant, but it will take at least three years to increase production in earnest.

After I finished the video call with Daryl, I was in my thoughts.

“If we were going to delay our investment by tying our hands and feet, we should give it a shot, right?”

Sangyeop senior tilted his head at my words.

“What do you mean?”

“Anyway, we’re going to spend our money hotly.”

Originally, the Rustbelt area was the Democratic Party’s garden. Here, Ronald caused a sensation and provided an opportunity for a reversal.

However, there are still many states that are engaged in a close battle within the margin of error.

I looked at the map of the United States pasted on the wall. Even within the same state, the number of electoral votes varies according to the population.

California, the largest state in the United States, has 55, or more than 10 percent of the electoral college, while Alaska and Montana have only three each.

Rustbelt also has different electoral colleges.

“Choose two areas in the Rust Belt where there are a lot of electoral colleges and Ronald is out of bounds.”

Sangyeop senior took the map right away.

“Pennsylvania and Ohio.”

I nodded.

“We’re investing an extra $5 billion in two places.”

It is impossible for a South Korean president to intervene in the US presidential election.

The arrest of the CEO of OTK Company is only because there are criminal charges, not because the president has a deep relationship with PAS and Eun Sung-cha.

Eun Seong-cha supported Diane. Therefore, it was not at all unusual for Chairman Han Min-koo, who leads the Eunsung Auto Group, to speak to the person concerned.

Joel, the chief election strategist at Diane’s campaign, said urgently.

[Ronald chose Pennsylvania as his final campaign location. There, an additional $5 billion in investment plans will be announced. Combined, that’s a total of $25 billion. Were you not confident that OTK Company’s investment plan would be delayed?

how? What the hell happened?]

Han Min-goo was also suspicious of that.

After the CEO was arrested, the investment proceeded rather quickly. In addition, an additional investment that was not planned was decided.

Do you think that an investment of this size is handled in the absence of the CEO? Is this possible?

[Is it really true that the CEO of OTK Company was arrested?]

“That’s right. Currently, the South Korean prosecutors are holding him. Interviews with lawyers are also being monitored, but they say they don’t do business at all.”

[Then who is running the business?]

“Probably Hyunjoo Oh…….”

The older sister of OTK Company’s CEO is the head of Golden Gate’s Korean branch. About her she is well known in her foreign countries.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

Joel remembered the young man he had met and the face of Oh Hyun-joo he had seen in the article. For some reason, I didn’t think the two were very similar.

[Do you have any pictures?]

Han Min-goo sent a picture of Oh Tae-gyu to his cell phone.

After a while, Joel said in amazement.

[Not this person!] “What?”

[I met someone else.]

Han Min-goo was taken aback.

So who the hell did he catch?

“Didn’t he say he was a Korean young man in his twenties?”

[He didn’t wear glasses, and his hair wasn’t this short.]

“I can’t… wait a minute.”

Min-goo Han sent another picture just in case.

Then Joel called out.

[Yes! I met this person. Have you ever caught someone else?]

What the hell happened?

“All right, I’ll check again.”

After finishing the call, Han Min-koo immediately contacted President Park Si-hyeong.

Park Si-hyung was surprised when he heard the story.

[Such nonsense…]

OTK Company’s CEO wasn’t Oh Taek-gyu, but Kang Jin-hoo?

Why is it an OTK company and not a KJH company?

[Well, then, what is Taek-gyu Oh?]

Han Min-gu raised his voice without realizing it.

“Looks like the boss of the pants,” he said. The reality is Jinhu Kang!”

* * *

After finishing all the work, we gathered in the branch manager’s office.

The lawyer who had been interviewed came in and delivered Taek-gyu’s words.

“I’m eating well and doing well, so don’t worry about anything.”

He’s a guy who’ll get along well wherever he goes. Rather, we, who were not captured, remained and suffered. Still, I can’t let Taegyu stay there forever.

There’s nothing I can do anymore anyway.

“Now let’s take Taek-gyu out.”

Senior Sangyeop asked.

“how?”

I told Hyunjoo noona.

“Please gather reporters.”

Ellie asked with a worried expression.

“What are you going to do?”

I smiled.

“Let’s have a press conference.”
