Chapter 88

The OTK Company press conference was broadcast not only in Korea but also worldwide.

It was shocking that the CEO was a young Korean in his 20s, but it was even more shocking that he was being subjected to illegal inspections and unfair investigations by the government.

But before the ripples had subsided, another news broke. It was a PAS special article in News Breakthrough.

[Sir, tribute article! Who is PAS?]

The relationship between PAS and President Park Si-hyeong was also raised during the Korean National Party primary. As a result, he received a special prosecution, but it was concluded that there was no problem.

However, in the news breaking articles this time, the fact that the Blue House was deeply involved in the management of PAS popped up one after another.

For PAS’s Mexican plant construction, the Mexican ambassador directly contacted Eunsung Motors and Mexican government officials, and the NIS actively helped PAS acquire a subcontractor at a low price.

The article was more than a simple suspicion, and various circumstances and evidence were attached. When the article was published, the internet turned upside down.

On various portals, ‘the real owner of PAS’, ‘President Park Si-hyung’, and ‘Who is PAS?’ were all listed as real-time search terms.

It didn’t end here.

In a situation where news breakout articles are spreading all over the world, this time, Golden Gate Asian branch published a report on the Korean market.

[South Korea’s political risk greater than the North Korean nuclear risk]

The report focused on the work of OTK Company and K Company. And by highlighting the relationship between the president and the PAS, he pointed out the reality that companies close to the regime are benefited, but companies that look hateful to the regime are at a disadvantage.

He pointed out that there is a problem in the continuity of business activities depending on the direction of the regime, which is a bigger discount factor for Korea than North Korea.

The Korean stock market reacts sensitively to reports from foreign IBs.

The most serious problem is that the author of the report is not your average analyst, but Chase Southwell, Asia’s legendary investor and head of Asia at Golden Gate!

As soon as the report was released, money flowed out from the stock market as well as the bond market, mainly US funds. The KOSPI plunged 2.5 percent in an instant, and the exchange rate soared.

On the other hand, Vietnam’s Ho Chi Minh VN index and Japan’s Nikkei index, recommended as alternative investment destinations, soared 3.8 percent and 1.5 percent, respectively.

The sound of a song exploded on the bulletin board.

– Oh! my stock!

– Stocks went bankrupt because of Golden Gate!

-Why is this the Golden Gate? It’s because of Park Si-hyung.

– Three generations suffer from stocks. So let’s go with Bantcoin!

– The trend is Ethereum. Ethereum Gazz!

-Gazuaaa!

– It went downhill today. Han River Jeongmo is promoted.

– Hangang Gazzah!

– So who is PAS?

The government did its best to control the media.

Lee Jung-heon, senior public relations chief at the Blue House, called the KBC news director and talked about it.

“What if KBC, a public broadcaster, and nowhere else, reports on the 9 o’clock news like this now? You are publishing articles like this on the news in front of you, as if the government was the problem. After all, the president in the world today

I saw KBC. Gosh! Please help me one more time, Chief.”

Se-won Yoon gave instructions to his staff.

“Contact a conservative group and have them have a control demonstration in front of News Breaker and TJBC!”

At this point, a drug case broke out in the entertainment industry. When the prosecution, who was investigating the drug traffickers, tracked down the buyer, it was confirmed that the purchase history of SGY Entertainment’s K and L groups was confirmed.

Prosecutors summoned SGY Entertainment’s managers and celebrities for drug tests, and announced that four of them tested positive.

The three broadcasting companies published these incidents as top news, and the Chojung Ilbo published it on the front page. That was not enough, so he said he would publish a drug feature article for the next month.

[Hallyu stars K and L groups admit to smoking marijuana][What is the problem with the drug case in the entertainment industry?][Korea is no longer a drug-free country][The black touch of drugs that penetrates into the university!]

If it had been normal, the other articles would have been buried naturally. However, it was difficult to divert the attention of the public to this extent.

– Isn’t ‘Otaku VS Sir’ more fun than the Hallyu star drug case?

-Entertainment Drugs < Overwhelmingly < OTK Company

– To cover up the incident, please don't arrest our oppas ㅜㅜ

-This is a life sentence for using marijuana.

– What's wrong with real SGY kids?

-Drug crime.

-After all, SGY! Last time I got caught smuggling amphetamines.

– What about non-methamphetamine? Last time, the SH kids were beaten.

– Marijuana is a drug, but cannabis is not a drug. It's legal in some countries, and it's also used medicinally.

– Marijuana is cannabis.

– So who is PAS?

I was sitting in the prosecutor's office investigation room.

By now, the chaos in the outside world will be better. Maybe my face was covered on TV.

Hyunjoo noona should talk to her so she doesn't worry about her.

“Did the PAS article and the Golden Gate Report give you all the instructions?”

The prosecutor sitting in front of me is Kim Kyung-jun. He has a position of chief prosecutor.

The prosecutor is coming to investigate me directly. He feels like he is being treated like something.

“I want to ask. Is the president's order to arrest me?"

Prosecutor Kim Kyung-jun looked at me with cold eyes.

“Do you know where you are now?”

I said with a smile.

“Do you know Athena? It is the name of the goddess of wisdom in Greek mythology. In the past, there was a netizen who used the ID Athena. During the financial crisis, I became famous by accurately matching the collapse of the Korean stock market, including the bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers.”

If the original extreme prediction is correct, it tends to become famous.

He continued to post after that. People called Athena “the economic president,” and as her fame rose, the mainstream media also published articles about Athena.

The problem is that Athena's predictions were the complete opposite of most government policies. At that time, the government defended the exchange rate by releasing foreign exchange reserves and tried to boost stock prices by mobilizing the National Pension Service.

But Athena insisted that the exchange rate soared and the stock price plummeted. One of those articles was that the government had sent out a letter banning the purchase of dollars to each bank in order to keep the exchange rate down at the end of the year.

Prosecutors urgently arrested Athena on the charge of spreading false information.

“Actually, the government has never sent such an official notice. You know what's funny? Although no official letter was sent, the Deputy Prime Minister of Economy gathered the bank heads at the end of the year and issued similar instructions. He gave instructions in a word, but sent an official letter.

The prosecution claimed that he had not lost, and that he had spread false information. Is this a human word or a dog whistle?”

I continued to look at Kim Kyung-jun's expression.

“The prosecution reported to the press that Athena’s writings cost $2 billion in exchange rate defense. Thinking about it now, it's absurd. The government lost 2 billion dollars because of one netizen's post. what is this

It is not the prosecution that proves that the government is an asshole. Anyway, I prosecuted Athena… are you aware of the consequences?"

No matter how much you try to make a judgment according to the taste of the government, there is a law.

If Athena is convicted, all people who post on the Internet with even slightly different facts should be arrested for spreading false information.



Maybe half of the netizens won't be arrested?

In the end, Athena was acquitted in the first trial and released.

“After a detention investigation, what is the probability of being acquitted in the first trial? As far as I know, less than 1 percent.”

When Athena was released, the opposition and the progressive press rejoiced that the truth had triumphed.

But in fact, it was a victory for the government. After Athena was arrested, netizens self-censored themselves.

Maybe my posts are anti-government? Are there any inaccuracies in the facts? Is it really okay to post something like this? Wouldn't it be better to just keep your mouth shut?

“Usually, if an unreasonable investigation was conducted in that way, it is common sense for the prosecutor in charge to take responsibility. But what is this? Prosecutors who conducted investigations to suit the government’s taste were all successful despite such foolish acts.”

I laughed bitterly.

“The chief prosecutor who was in charge of the prosecution at that time has been promoted to the chief prosecutor and is right in front of me. Hey! It’s amazing.”

Quang!

Kyung-Jun Kim slammed the desk and shouted.

“Does the Korean prosecutor look funny?”

“So, do you think the Korean people are funny?”

"you? This child!”

I said looking at my opponent.

“Do you know the difference between Athena and me?”

"What?"

I remembered what Hyunjoo noona told me.

The money I have is my weapon. As long as I have that weapon, no one will treat me badly.

“Athena has no money, I have money. Right now, the amount of money that can be moved with a single word is 5 trillion. I've been thinking about it, but what if I said I would invest 1 trillion won in PAS alone with the president? And there is only one condition

Shit shit. Prosecutor Kim Kyung-jun, I want you to blow off the head. It's not just about taking off your clothes, but mobilizing the National Intelligence Service to inspect not only you, but also your wife, parents, and relatives, and if you find anything in that way, arrest them. then how

could it be? Will the President reject Article 1, or will you accept Article 1 and do my favor?”

Kim Kyung-joon's face was distorted.

"you······."

I burst out laughing.

"Hahaha! just joke. That's not possible in a country where the rule of law is. This is not the era of any military regime. I can't believe that the president can get an illegal solicitation and blow the head of the prosecutor who has been loyal like a dog. Isn't it?"

Then he added a word.

“But there's nothing wrong with being careful. Let's start the investigation."

Kim Kyung-jun handed over the documents as if nothing was wrong. Upon closer inspection, his hands were trembling slightly. He is a man who came to this point in pursuit of power all his life. As such, he must know better than anyone about the nature of power.

The same goes for prosecutors that there is no one who doesn't come out of dust.

It's going to be pretty complicated in my head right now.

I leaned back on the chair and closed my eyes.

How comfortable are you even when you've been caught?

Money is good too.

No matter how much the mainstream media tried to reduce the coverage, the internet was noisy. News Breakthrough continued to send out 'Your Excellency's tribute article'.

The relationship between President Park Si-hyeong and PAS, and between PAS and Eun Sung-cha, was persistently investigated. As soon as the article went up, it got millions of views.

– Hey! It's great today!

– More please!

-Let's go to the knight streak!

– Can't you do one more?

– These days, I live for the fun of seeing this.

– The next one will follow!

– So who is PAS?

The government did not stand still.

Immediately, the NIS-affiliated commenting unit and the Cyber ​​Command's psychological platoon counterattacked.

– The rednecks are starting again.

– Let's eradicate the subservient left!

-Don't believe what Jin Yeo-joon says. A person who was cut off from MBS while praising Kim Il-sung.

– Jo Woo-jin allegation of prostitution under a minor (picture attached to the link)

– Left-handed bastards like garbage.

– Everyone, you know that this article is all a lie, right?

It was unreasonable to cover an article with only negative comments.

“DDoS attack! Download the website!”

NIS employees launched a DDoS attack under Yoon Se-won's command, and the news breaking site became inaccessible.

Jin Yeo-joon said while looking at the site that could not be accessed.

“They love DDoS.”

Jo Woo-jin nodded his head.

“It is an IT powerhouse.”

“Well. People in their 20s in other countries drink and punch, but in Korea, 20s drink and do DDoS.”

This happened during the Seoul mayoral by-election.

At that time, the Korean National Party took down the website of the National Election Commission through a DDoS attack with the purpose of making it difficult for people in their 20s and 30s with high support for the opposition party to find polling places.

When this became known, the prosecution closed the case by concluding that it was an accidental act by an aide in their twenties and their friends who were drunk.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

“There was also Tunnel DDoS.” “Physically causing DDoS. Creative bastards.”

In order to prevent workers who came to work through the Changwon Tunnel from voting after work, construction was carried out in the tunnel and deliberately caused traffic congestion. Again, the investigation was fuzzy.

I already expected it to come out like this.

“Put it up on the face note of the article, and post it on a video YouTuber.”

Even if domestic sites are blocked with DDoS, can foreign sites do that?

“Have you finished making subtitles?”

"of course. It was translated very well.”

Jin Yeo-jun shouted loudly.

“Okay, fuck!”

(strategy)

-(Yeo-Jun Jin) Given this series of circumstances, it is highly probable that you are the actual owner of PAS. And PAS relies on silver car for more than 90% of its sales. Then, in a word, PAS is the reason that the silver-star difference is good.

It's going well, and if PAS goes well, isn't it good for your Excellency?

– (Jo Woo-jin) That's right. So the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the National Intelligence Service worked hard for you.

-(Jin Yeo-Jun) Republican presidential candidate Ronald hates the silver car. He's betting that if he becomes president, he'll scrap the KORUS FTA and increase tariffs on cars. However, OTK Company and its subsidiary K Company supported Ronald.

I mean there is He's not enough to buy an American car company, he's just pouring billions of dollars into it. Thanks to that, Ronald's popularity just soared.

-(Cho Woo-jin) If Ronald is elected, Eunsung Cha, PAS, and your Excellency can suffer a lot of damage.

-(Jin Yeo-Jun) Then, wouldn't it be possible to make an assumption like this? So, sir, you don't like OTK Company's support for Ronald. It would be a big deal if Ronald really got elected. So, before the election, OTK Com

It must have been an unreasonable investigation to delay Funny's investment… Well, there is such a possibility.

– (Jo Woo-jin) That's quite possible. But two unexpected things happened here. The first is that they worked hard to rob K Company, but nothing was recovered, and the second was that they mistakenly took Oh Taek-gyu as the CEO.

-(Yeo-Jun Jin) In the meantime, Jin-hoo Kang, the real CEO, approved and handled the Chrysler acquisition, the Karos merger, and various investment plans. And after he was done, he walked into the prosecution on his own feet.

-(Cho Woo-jin) If there was really a purpose to interfere in the US presidential election, this is usually not a big deal. If Diane gets elected, it's a good thing, but if Ronald gets elected, wouldn't your Excellency be your enemy?

– (Jin Yeo-Jun) Hahaha! right! You're a total enemy! Your Excellency Becomes an enemy!

– (Jo Woo-jin) Fuch!

Quickly!

President Park Si-hyeong, who was watching the video, sharpened his teeth.

"These dogs are …". "

There is no way that a single internet media would have collected those data. Someone must have handed them the sauce.

There is no need to even doubt that it is the OTK Company side.

If this is something that only happens in Korea, it is fortunate. But it was already buzzing with American politics.

Diane and Ronald quarreled over the case of a search and seizure by K Company and an investigation into the arrest of the Gangjin Post.

‘Where the hell did it go wrong?’

When I first started working with K Company, I never imagined that things would get to this point.

By the way······.

What would really happen if Ronald was elected?
