Investor That Can See The Future

Chapter 243

The hearing was broadcast live through the National Assembly Broadcasting System.

Of course, there were very few people who dared to watch it in real time. After all, it is enough to watch the important scene on the news in the evening.

But suddenly, attention was focused on the news that Jin-hoo Kang was attending.

Who is Jinhoo Kang?

She is the most famous investor of the 21st century, and the richest person in the world beyond Korea. And he’s also the one who overthrew the former regime and put the former president in jail.

Parliamentarians were determined.

Dealing with Kang Jin-hoo is a great opportunity to raise awareness. For that reason, lawmakers lined up to ask questions.

The news channel focused on Kang Jin-hoo’s attendance at the hearing by connecting the National Assembly Broadcasting System, and the viewership ratings of the National Assembly Broadcasting system soared.

After a while, a surprising scene unfolded.

After Kang Jin-hu, she sat casually in her witness stand, but Rep. Lee Jeong-hye, who was asking her question, screamed at her with her face reddened and ran wild, and several of her Liberal Kuomintang lawmakers stopped her.

Everyone who watched the show was at a loss for words.

Has anyone ever acted like that in a hearing?

Even Eunsung Group founder Han Young-joo and Seosung group founder Lim Young-cheol, who once dominated the Korean economy, never insulted a member of the National Assembly openly at the hearing.

In short, this is the first time in constitutional history!

In the completely unexpected situation, the members of the opposition and opposition lawmakers at the hearing showed signs of bewilderment.

The internet was in turmoil.

– After the strong earthquake, show your courage.

– Hahaha crazy. It’s a really great hearing.

– I almost got tired of watching the hearing.

-The National Assembly is an institution where members of the National Assembly who represent the people gather. In a democratic country, it is natural to respect the National Assembly and Parliamentarians.

-Are you saying that it’s okay for members of the National Assembly to treat the people like that, but the people shouldn’t do that to the members of the National Assembly?

– It’s uncomfortable to watch. Do you think such an attitude is right at the hearing?

-Yes. He’s young, but he doesn’t do that to a member of parliament who is much older than him.

-Then, is it okay for lawmakers to call in presidents who are older than them and ban them?

-If you call an innocent person and yell at them, do you have to ask them to make a mistake?

– Why are you not guilty? It is true that there are companies in tax havens. I think Rep. Lee Jeong-hye is right.

– I’m afraid that someone isn’t left-handed, so I’m arguing with nonsense.

– What’s nonsense? It is true that Rep. Lee Jeong-hye attended her self-defense force founding commemorative party.

– At least when a member of the ruling party comes out, I will bow my head and answer politely.

-Like playing with the North Korean leftists.

As lunch time approached, the hearing was temporarily suspended.

It’s a job to make a living, but you have to eat. The other presidents all returned with a look of disappointment.

I had to go to the afternoon hearing, so I headed to the cafeteria. It’s lonely to eat alone in an unfamiliar place.

That’s why I have to bring Taek-gyu.

After I ate a little, I was drinking coffee from the vending machine, when someone approached me. When I turned my head, it was a middle-aged man in his 50s wearing a suit with a noble impression.

It is none other than the floor leader of the New Politics Party, Jang Hyun-joon.

He said with a smile as he pulled out his coffee.

“I think CEO Kang Jin-hoo acted too much. Still, it’s a hearing, wouldn’t it be better to keep each other’s good?”

If you think that the ruling party lawmakers will like it because you dismissed it, you are mistaken.

Members of the National Assembly are strictly on the side of the National Assembly, saying that crawfish is on the side. Occasionally, when I look at the rejection of a motion to arrest a member of the National Assembly, I wonder when the opposition parties fought.

In the hearing, the calculations of each party and member of the National Assembly are complicated. However, the ultimate goal is to impress the people and win the next general election again.

Businessmen do not want to be enemies with politicians, and politicians do not want to be enemies with businessmen.

So, in a way, this is a kind of go-stop to show the people. But here I acted differently from the script.

“In the afternoon, questions from the ruling party members are also scheduled, so please take care of me. Aren’t the people watching?”

I nodded.

“of course. I knew what you meant.”

He looked satisfied with my words.

“That’s fortunate.”

* * *

Afternoon hearings began.

The first hitter was Kim Sang-soo, a member of the New Political Party.

He presented his material and said triumphantly.

“Does K Company run a cryptocurrency exchange called Bansomem?”

“I didn’t run it myself, I just invested in it.”

At my words, Senator Kim Sang-soo said with a raised eyebrow.

Not only did you invest in exchanges, but you also bought and mined cryptocurrencies yourself and then sold most of them right before the crash. What do you think of the opinion that this is speculation?”

I corrected him.

“It’s an investment, not a speculation.”

“Cryptocurrency was a speculation! Can you say that there is no responsibility of the witness here?”

“I agree that cryptocurrencies were speculative. By the way, the cryptocurrency boom was not only a phenomenon in Korea but also around the world, wasn’t it that I promoted it?”

Then, Kim Sang-soo became angry.

“A lot of people jumped into the cryptocurrency market and lost money, but K Company made huge profits in a short period of time! Is this right?”

“What else could not be right? Is it wrong to make money by investing?”

“This is speculation, not investment! speculation!”

Before coming here, I carefully read the material I received from Chairman Im Jin-yong.

The contents written there were not found by illegal inspection, but were already known through the media.

Of course, the other presidents are also well aware of it.

Nevertheless, the reason why he bowed his head without saying a word is probably because there were not one or two wrongdoings he had committed during that time. You also have to take care of public opinion.

But I am not. He looked up to the sky and was not without shame, but at least he did not commit any illegality.

So, feel free to say whatever you want.

“Then, was it speculation that you bought the land in Gimpo?”

Senator Kim Sang-soo was perplexed.

“What, what?”

Perhaps I did not know that I would say this to a member of the ruling party, and not only that, but everyone in the hearing room was astonished.

I didn’t care and kept talking.

“Didn’t you buy 800 pyeong of land in Gimpo and make a profit more than 10 times in 3 years after being included in the planned development site?”

“That, that… … .”

“As one candidate for minister said, he probably didn’t buy the land because he loved nature so much. According to what you said, wouldn’t this be speculation?”

Rep. Kim Sang-soo then shouted.

“It was a fair investment, not a speculation!”

I nodded.

“Originally, if you do it yourself, it’s an investment, and if someone else does it, it’s a speculation. It was also an investment. Are you okay?”

“… … .”

He made a look of astonishment, but said nothing further.

Rep. Hong Seung-yong of the same party came as the next batter.

“Currently, OTK Company and K Company have an overwhelmingly high proportion of graduates from Korea University. What do you think about the allegations of preferential hiring?”

I said it like it was natural.

“We are hiring the people we need.”

“It sounds like there are talented people only at Hankuk University. Such preferential recruitment deprives them of fair opportunities and promotes university ranking.”

What nonsense are you talking about?

But even if the other person makes a non-verbal sound, I have to speak like a horse.

“There may be suspicions of preferential treatment. Come to think of it, there were suspicions that the lawmaker also gave preferential treatment to the father-in-law.”

“Hey, what… … ?”

“Three years ago, when you were at the National Assembly Administrative Safety Committee auditing the Ministry of Public Administration and Security, didn’t the Ministry of Public Administration and Security support a special subsidy tax to repair roads in front of the factory run by your father-in-law? According to your logic, this is a privilege that deprives other companies of fair opportunities.”

Assemblyman Hong Seung-yong was surprised and denied it.

“That has nothing to do with preferential treatment!”

I nodded.

“So do i.”

Next, Rep. Eun Hee-jae of the Liberty Korea Party stepped forward and asked a question. As if to avenge Rep. Lee Jeong-hye, she fired from the start.

“OTK Company is investing in a pornography company called Faceit, right?”

Are the companies you’ve invested in now accusing you?

“Yes.”

“Did you know that pornography is illegal in Korea?”

I nodded.

“I know. And porn is legal in America.”

“Only answer the questions asked.”

She pulled out her material.

“This is a study of pornographic actors by women’s rights groups in Europe. While porn companies are making huge amounts of money, actors are suffering from drug addiction, ill health and insanity. Bankruptcy and suicide rates are also dozens of times higher than the general population! Did the Witnesses think about oppressed women’s rights?”

I don’t know when the alternative Liberal National Party lawmaker started thinking about the human rights of porn stars, but he’s right.

Even though porn stars seem to live lavishly, there is a deep darkness behind them. This is the same for men or women.

Among small and medium-sized production companies, some are related to gangsters, and some are holding actors in debt or threatening to force them to take pictures or extort money for their appearances.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

From the perspective of actors, they earn a lot of money in a short period of time, so they do luxuries or engage in drugs or gambling.

If you think about it, there is no reason to choose this profession if you have a good family environment in the first place and are financially affluent.

Faceit is also aware of this problem, and has made agreements with various manufacturers to make improvements.

First, in conjunction with the FBI, they drove out the mafia and cartel from the industry, and forcibly banned filming with advance payments or debt as bait.

In addition, he regularly checked the health of the actors and provided consulting on savings and pensions. After his retirement, he devoted himself to re-education and job placement.

In the beginning, most manufacturers didn’t even care. However, as Faceit grew into a giant platform dominating the porn industry, it had no choice but to follow.

This is because companies that do not comply with the agreement have been expelled from the service altogether. Some producers protested, saying it was a gabjil, but the actors welcomed it with their arms up.

There was a firm will of Toby and Gerard.

The two truly believed that porn made the world happy. In order to do that, they argue that industry workers must first be happy.

In fact, there is also a study result showing that the quality of life of porn stars has improved dramatically since Face It was introduced.

But no matter how hard I try, I won’t even listen to this explanation.

Bringing out the frame of porn actor human rights in the first place would have been an attempt to undermine my image by making me excuse or oppose it.

In this frame, you have to fight and win to be a porn advocate.

So I took out another frame instead.

“I understand how important you are to women’s rights. However, I know that you are taking the lead in favoring the Korea-Japan comfort women agreement, which the comfort women victims strongly opposed. You insisted that the comfort women understand the Japanese position and make concessions in order to improve relations between the two countries. Are the comfort women not included in the women’s rights that you are talking about?”

Rep. Eun Hee-jae was embarrassed and shouted in a sharp voice.

“No, why are you talking about that now? Witnesses only answer what they ask! I see?”

“I don’t like it.”

“What, what?”

I went on to say

“Nevertheless, you won the grand prize at the Korea Outstanding Female National Assembly Award Ceremony last year. It was the first time I knew there was such an award, but the judge supervised the examination. How is this different from that Alfred Nobel received the Nobel Prize and the Ideal Award for Literature?”

“Shut up!”

The next turn is a member of the New Politics Party again.

Rep. Lee Yong-su said in a trembling voice.

“There are suspicions that OTK Company has committed various irregularities in derivatives trading.”

No one is eating it, so why is it falling like this?

I’ll have to say something though.

“I remembered because it was denial, but the suspicion that the lawmaker had her second daughter illegally admitted to Jeongseon Women’s University… … .”

“Okay! Please stop it!”
