Son of a Conglomerate at the Highest Level

＜What I’m aiming for＞

The documents with a mixture of golden and red colors belong to the Army Security Commander.

The name of the head of the central government was written in a mixture of golden and black light.

I slipped the papers in front of my grandfather.

“This Blue House New Year’s briefing will probably be very bloody.”

If political figures participate in the New Year’s luncheon, there is a New Year’s report meeting for the military and key figures in the courtroom.

“It was right after the bribery ledger of Wookwang Construction was reported to the Blue House.”

Currently, the government is raising the banner of eradication of corruption in order to eradicate corruption among high-ranking public officials.

“The list of military generals and high-ranking officials who received and ate the back money must have been reported, but the owner of the Blue House would just sit and watch this?”

“Your Excellency will surely try to discipline you.”

“I’m sure the right-hand man, the head of the bodyguard, will run amok. To dispel the static and show off your influence.”

“Of course His Excellency will condone this.”

“It must be the seat prepared for that.”

Wookwang Construction distributed bribes in all directions.

“I have come up with hard evidence that I took bribes. What do you think will happen to the person on that list?”

“If you were caught by His Excellency, you should say that you are dead. Perhaps he is restless at night because he is anxious?”

So it was the killing department.

We put it into the hands of the chief of security and the chief of staff at the Blue House.

So it was a bribe.

“But what if we purged them all?”

“Where is one or two leaders who have their noses pierced one after another? It is the national administration and the military department will be paralyzed.”

“This is not what the Blue House wants.”

“But now that I know, I won’t pretend I don’t know.”

“Instead, he will long for it until he recites that he is dead.”

I pushed the golden paper closer to my grandfather.

“What would happen if the grandfather handed this to the chief of the central government and the army security commander in advance in a situation where a bloody attack was scheduled? As a gift, of course.”

A bribe is a courtesy handed over for a favor, but a gift is a favor conveyed from the heart.

“Did you hide a weakness you couldn’t take out? What if it was a gift that made sure not to lose face in front of his subordinates, while being out of sight of the country’s most powerful person? Don’t you think you’ll be very grateful?”

Even avoiding the suspicion of the absolute power is the same as proving their loyalty to them.

That was the kind of favor my grandfather gave me as a gift.

“Oh, a sip of water given to a person in distress in the desert is treated like a grace that saved his life. In the same sense, our Taeseong is also to the Chief of the Central Government and the Army Security Commander…”

“No.”

I waved my index finger from side to side.

“If you intend to ask for it, put it in it.”

“why? If all of His Excellency’s closest aides support our Taeseong…”

“Your Excellency’s suspicions will turn to Taeseong.”

“…!”

The corner of the grandfather’s mouth, which had hung up to his ears, suddenly hardened.

“I have already witnessed how Woo-gwang bribed and boiled the country’s leaders.”

Doubt, once sprouted, seldom dies.

Either the suspect dies, or the suspect dies.

One of them must die to end.

“At that time, a company that everyone close to you supports appears? What do you think it will look like?”

“Okay.”

“Do you use it when you get out of the eyes of the highest commanding officer to eat one of those affiliates day by day?”

“・・・・・Yes, you are right.”

Grandpa nodded heavily.

“I heard that you have already obtained promises from the chief of security and the chief of staff at the Blue House. Then the acquiescence of the other two is sufficient.”

“I get it. Don’t do that.”

“It’s not like Tae-sung is going to have a muddy dogfight with Sam-hwang over Wookwang Oil, anyway.”

“I wanted to ask that anyway.”

Grandpa pulled out a note with ‘2’ written on it.

“I honestly don’t think it’s too bad for Taesung to take over Wookwang Refinery.”

When Grandpa winked at him, Secretary Kim took out a document written by President Sim himself.

＜Proposal to take over Wookwang Refinery in the event of an oil crisis＞

“Why should I back down after barely roasting and boiling my closest aides? When an opportunity arises, the one who seizes it first is the one who owns it.”

“It does more harm than good.”

I grinned.

“Why would the owner of the Blue House let Woo-gwang eat?”

“Well, if you want to fill the pockets of your aides…”

“Can Taeseong be your close aide?”

“…!”

Grandpa opened his mouth but hesitated.

“Human beings become ugly in the face of a battle where gains are at stake. You should know who is watching the fight behind the scenes.”

“That means…”

“Wouldn’t it be perfect to look for signs of danger in the arena of power competition among your aides?”

I spoke in a calm tone to my grandfather, whose eyes were widening.

“You’d better stick to a bargain.”

“A bargain?”

“If it is Wookwang essential oil to be given to others, we should induce them to pay a higher price.”

“So that the storage pockets are empty?”

“Exactly!”

The grandfather, who used to look like he would win in a political fight, becomes red when money is mentioned.

“Jung Hyuk, do you really think there will be an oil crisis?”

“Of course. Why did my dad get an invitation to the Blue House luncheon?”

It was because he predicted the possibility of a second oil shock to the owner of the Blue House.

“When an oil crisis breaks out, it’s the oil refining companies that will bleed, so why are you so shy?”

That too, though.

It’s not that you can’t make sauce because you’re afraid of maggots, right?

That’s because I’m aiming for something bigger.

“Jung Hyuk. In order to report this at the luncheon at the Blue House, I was quite careful and collected the data.”

As usual, this was a problem that all executives of the Taesung Group rushed into and devised.

“I listened to the opinions of experts, watched the situation in foreign markets, and listened to the situation in the Middle East. But honestly, for now, the odds are…”

“It will look low.”

“okay.”

But when did a world-class event like a natural disaster only happen when there were clear signs?

“Report like that at the luncheon at the Blue House.”

“huh? Will that work?”

“Dad played the role he was invited to by just suggesting the possibility of an oil crisis to political giants, right?”

Grandpa widened his eyes.

“Didn’t I have to insist more strongly to impress His Excellency?”

“Even if an oil shock happens, it leaves a little mark of foresight, but if it doesn’t happen, you have to take all the responsibility, so it’s just a dump?”

“that······.”

“If you guess all future events, is that a shaman or a merchant?”

“……That’s right. Yeah, got it.”

Grandpa nodded happily.

“Taesung, don’t get involved in the battle to acquire Wookwang Refinery.”

“Thank you, Grandpa.”

“Let’s say we are looking for an opportunity to take over an oil refinery that is in the red at a low price during an oil crisis!”

Grandpa put a note with ‘3’ on his desk.

“What kind of affiliate are you aiming for?”

“Woo-Kwang Pharmaceutical and Woo-Kwang Hospital.”

Grandpa laughed.

“It’s the affiliate Sung-jun chose.”

“yes.”

Wookwang Hospital and Wookwang Pharmaceutical were dazzlingly golden.

Wookwang Hospital is located in a location with good accessibility and is reborn as the No. 1 anti-cancer hospital in Korea in connection with Waseda Hospital in Japan.

In addition, Wookwang Pharmaceutical paid royalties for a technology agreement with Yougi Pharmaceutical in Japan, and had several hit products in the pharmaceutical sector.

“good night. Now that the word has come out, let’s openly talk about it. What do affiliates who will claim a stake with a donation of 15 billion have in mind?”

“Woo-Kwang Scholarship Foundation and Woo-Kwang Research Institute.”

On the other hand, Woogwang Research Institute and Woogwang Scholarship Foundation were black.

“This is also the affiliate Sung-jun insisted on taking over.”

“yes.”

“You should do filial piety as much as possible.”

Grandpa smiled bitterly.

“Wookwang Hospital and Wookwang Pharmaceutical are okay, but Wookwang Scholarship Foundation and Wookwang Research Institute are not happy. Do you remember that you were of the same opinion as me?”

When I reached out to Secretary Kim, he handed over the executive meeting materials I had prioritized.

“Look. These two were subsidiaries you rated very harshly.”

“I know.”

“Nevertheless, you want the Wookwang Scholarship Foundation and the Wookwang Research Institute?”

“yes.”

“why?”

Grandpa asked directly.

It was an expression of incomprehension.

‘I guess so. If you look at it as a single affiliate, it’s sh*t, so I thought it was an unprofitable business at first.’

But I watched the poop turn to golden yellow.

Woogwang Refinery Oil, which was the color of poop, was golden in President Shim’s report.

As for what was different,

‘I heard that synergy is created between affiliates?’

I glanced at ＜Wookwang Oil Refinery Acquisition Proposal in the event of an oil shock＞ on the desk.

Between these reports, there was a paper with a particularly shiny golden color.

‘So I prepared. A linkage group that can create synergy between Wookwang affiliates.’

I started to pick up the materials of the executive meeting that I had prioritized.

“If you put filial piety into your business, it will be used. Do you think business is child’s play?”

“Who is doing business with filial piety?”

I was serious

“Did your grandfather decide to take over the merger based on his love for his eldest son?”

“what?”

“You’re thinking of taking over Wookwang Motors and Wookwang Heavy Equipment.”

“······okay.”

The reason is simple.

To support the eldest son, his uncle.

However, as it is now, Wookwang Motors and Wookwang Heavy Equipment are just sh*t.

“Any affiliate that Taesung Group wants to acquire would be Wookwang Shipbuilding.”

“right.”

Woo Kwang Shipbuilding was also golden.

“Is this the best combination your grandfather calculated for a high probability of an oil shock?”

“okay.”

We looked straight at each other.

“Jung Hyuk, if an oil shock breaks out, cars and heavy equipment that depend heavily on oil will be hit by a cold wave and shrunk.”

So, in the past, Taesung Motors stumbled greatly.

“But if you have to face the cold frost in the middle of winter anyway, when all the chaff is dying, only the biggest one will survive.”

It was the reason why my grandfather wanted to take over Wookwang Motors and heavy equipment even at a loss.

“It must be to protect the eldest son and delay the battle for management control.”

“That, that’s…!”

The second son was looking for an opportunity.

Compared to the eldest son, who will be greatly shaken by the oil shock, the second son’s affiliates will be able to withstand thanks to their relatively focused on domestic demand.

“In addition, if Wookwang Shipbuilding is acquired, not only the eldest son in charge of heavy equipment, but also the second son in charge of distribution and product will be able to breathe freely.”

“Kuhm!”

“When the oil crisis breaks out, only the automobile industry that reduces fuel consumption to a minimum will survive. The same goes for heavy equipment.”

I grinned.

“Stone prices have skyrocketed, so do you think you can avoid the deficit by selling civilian cars and heavy equipment?”

“then?”

“What do you think would be different about ships powered by oil? Can the trade balance be improved by acquiring a shipyard and pouring it into import and export logistics?”

“Kuhm!”

I put Wookwang Chemical on top of the documents of Wookwang Motor, Wookwang Heavy Equipment, Wookwang Shipyard, Wookwang Hospital, and Wookwang Pharmaceutical.

“What do you think will happen if we take over the Wookwang Research Institute?”

It must have been a mix of sh*t and gold.

A bright golden light that had never been seen before came pouring out.

‘Sorry. Grandpa won’t be able to see this enchanting sight.’

That’s why you must be clicking your tongue with such a disapproving expression.

“What’s going on? The Woogwang Research Institute, which only eats money, is going to ruin without a way to save it.”

Grandpa snorted.

“Do you know whose name is fuel economy improvement? Didn’t they say that if you throw a job at the research center, the results come out right away, like getting a drink out of a vending machine?”

“No. Change your thinking.”

I waved my index finger from side to side.

“If I combine the industries I have picked up now, what do you think will be the industries that will generate synergies?”

In addition, the words Taesung Food and Taesung Fashion were written on a piece of paper and posted.

Whoa!

An unprecedented golden light exploded.

Grandpa tried rolling it with his mouth several times before opening his eyes.

I smiled contentedly.

“I heard that the Blue House will produce various weapons such as helicopters, cannons, ammunition, armored vehicles, ships, radars, and missiles, and is planning to announce that it will start developing the aircraft industry and special tanks?”

“diffusion!”

Now, wars in the Middle East break out from time to time, and military coups are rampant.

The Cold War between the US and the Soviet Union had reached its peak, and oil-producing countries in the Middle East were scrambling to call for strengthening self-defense due to the declaration of resource weaponization.
