That afternoon.
“Oh! I really don’t know.”
Lee Jun-hak took out a cigarette and handed it to Ahn Jeong-gyu, and Kim Cheol-soo quickly took out a lighter and lit their cigarettes.
“Man. What don’t you know?”
“I really don’t know, Manager. So, I will sign a contract with whoever you want.”
In response to Lee Jun-hak’s sighing reply, Ahn Jeong-gyu glanced at Kim Cheol-soo and made a subtle expression.
‘This guy.’
While Ahn Jeong-gyu was smoking a cigarette, he looked over the information he had researched in his mind again.
The aftermath of the foreign exchange crisis that began in Asia in 1995 hit Ukraine, and the opposition party’s approval rating rose due to dissatisfaction with the current regime.
When looking at the atmosphere, Yusenko clearly had the upper hand.
However, Yanukovych’s base is so strong, and the middle class, who are referred to as centrist conservatives, are in a state of confusion because most of Ukraine’s industrial base is connected to Russia.
“There is no guarantee who will win the election.”
“But most competitors sided with Yushenko, as we expected.”
“I thought that if the Yushenko camp had more campaign funds, they would break the current situation of equality. Thanks to this, there are only two consortiums that are on Yanukovych’s side.”
“Even if we join hands with the Yushenko camp, the probability of winning the contract is about 4%, just by mathematical calculation. However, if Yanukovych wins the election, there is a 33% probability.”
4% and 33%.
“But if Yushenko wins, 33% becomes 0%.”
An Jeong-gyu and Lee Jun-hak smoked cigarettes while talking back and forth about a problem that they could not find an answer to.
“If Yushenko becomes president, a conflict with Russia may arise. In that case, the construction of the oil pipeline connecting Ukraine and Russia may also go to waste.”
“It would be better for Ukraine to have Yanukovych as president.”
“But it will be difficult to overcome the economic recession without help from the West. Yushenko’s camp is making good use of it.”
“Damn it.”
Ahn Jeong-gyu sighed, extinguished his cigarette in the ashtray, and called Kim Cheol-soo.
“Assistant Manager Kim.”
“Yes, manager.”
“Still got nothing to say?”
Kim Cheol-soo shook his head lightly.
“Okay. Go down first.”
“yes.”
Kim Cheol-soo went down in a hurry.
“Isn’t that guy suspicious?”
“You mean Assistant Manager Kim?”
“Okay. Why has this guy who was always trying to do something keep his mouth shut these past few days?”
“Isn’t it because you don’t know?”
Ahn Jeong-gyu chuckled at Lee Jun-hak’s words.
“Junhak.”
“yes.”
“You still have a long way to go.”
As Lee Jun-hak opened his eyes, Ahn Jeong-gyu continued speaking with a triumphant expression.
“Not for me yet.”
“yes?”
“If you’re going on a business trip, don’t ignore what Cheolsu says. Listen carefully.”
Lee Jun-hak had no idea what Ahn Jeong-gyu was talking about, so he tilted his head.
“If Cheolsu says something useful, you have to listen. What is the reason?”
“Why should I tell you? Find out for yourself. Let’s go down.”
Ahn Jeong-gyu turned around, and Lee Jun-hak, who had been hit by an unexpected blow, followed behind Ahn Jung-gyu with an aggrieved expression.
Kim Cheol-soo was treating Lee Han-soo strangely well.
Of course, that may be his personality, but Kim Cheol-soo’s cover felt a little excessive.
This is something that is difficult to do if you don’t know Lee Han-soo’s true identity.
‘Kim Cheol-soo, this bastard knew. How on earth did you know! ‘You sneaky bastard.’
And Lee Han-soo and Oh Dong-hoon.
Two people from the city and city group came to my department.
If you were Kim Cheol-soo, what would you think when you see them?
Kim Cheol-soo has not said anything at public meetings since taking charge of the Ukraine case.
‘I’m suspecting the two. Although a consortium was created, it was predicted that if a decisive clue was discovered, the city and city construction might break the consortium and proceed independently. So that guy became Hapjuk.’
“Chief, wouldn’t it be too much to make people curious like this and just leave?”
Ahn Jeong-gyu chuckled at Lee Jun-hak’s complaints coming from behind him.
‘Kim Cheol-su, this bastard. What on earth did you eat to grow big? Now Junhak can’t keep up with Cheolsu.’
“What am I doing? Junhak, have you lost your senses these days?”
I know what real investing is.
“If we had had a little more time, we could have definitely widened the gap, but it’s a shame.”
“We have secured a lot of election funds through this construction project, so if we take a more active offensive, we will see good results.”
Yushenko entered politics with only the wish for Ukraine to do well, and thanks to maintaining a good image, he even served as prime minister.
Through this election, he was keenly aware that running for president is a truly daunting task.
In particular, the opposing camp’s overwhelming campaign funding was a problem.
For this reason, even though it received enthusiastic support from the people, it was difficult to gain the upper hand.
Yanukovych’s side was unilaterally raising approval ratings by throwing money around.
Since distributing money during elections is still legal, Yushenko also planned to attract as many influential figures as possible with the funds he secured.

“How much have you saved?”
“We raised $110 million.”
Yushenko whistled at the words of Eugene Hertz, his finance manager and confidant.
“How many companies sided with us?”
“On our side, 11 companies participated, and on the Yanukovych camp, two companies participated.”
“Because Yanukovych already has connections. So is this the end?”
“We will begin negotiations with the last remaining company this week.”
“It means that there is only one place to make money. But I am worried that if we bring in so many companies, we will have to distribute the construction work later.”
Eugene responded immediately to Yusenko’s words as if he had already thought about it.
“We plan to distribute the construction work in proportion to the investment we have made.”
“Instead of forcing everyone to one side, we distribute the construction work according to the amount invested. It’s a reasonable method. If we lose, should we return the investment?”
“If you follow the contract, that won’t happen.”
Yushenko nodded with a satisfied expression.
“You are doing a great job. Please continue to work hard.”
“Don’t worry.”
**
Yanukovych, with a dissatisfied expression, was just tapping on the desk.
Until now, the ruling party, ‘Bipartisanship’, has never lost the presidency.
Unfortunately, when he ran for office, a strong competitor named Yusenko emerged, making it impossible to predict the outcome of the election.
In addition, Yanukovych’s dissatisfaction was at its peak because the specially made object to ensure Yushenko’s removal from the election board was lost.
Yanukovych has a smiling expression all the time, earning him the nickname ‘Smile’.
There wasn’t even the slightest trace of laughter on his face right now.
“Have you found it yet?”
“sorry.”
“You damn bastard. Can’t you make it again?”
“that is······.”
Yanukovych’s confidant, Grigory Fedor, looked embarrassed.
“Because the original was already buried in the ground…”
Yanukovych sat down on a chair, groaning in pain.
“Is there any other way?”
Gregory nodded as if he already had a solution in mind.
“How about getting rid of Yushenko?”
“Gregory, please! Is there a less drastic way?”
“Listen, there is a poison called dioxin. It is an organochlorine compound released when burning plastic, bleaching paper, or refining metal. It is 10,000 times more toxic than cyanide. An amount of approximately 0.01 mg can remove Yushenko. . Moreover, dioxin is not currently classified as a ‘toxic substance’ and the detection method has not been commercialized, so it will be difficult to find the cause of death.”
“If Yusenko dies suddenly, where do you think the criticism will fall?”
“If Yushenko uses his hand when meeting the Russian security chief, Russia will be blamed, not us.”
“Let’s take advantage of Russia, which has joined hands with us?”
“It’s better to use whatever you can to win the election. It may feel bad for Russia, but if we win, they will have a lot to gain.”
Yanukovych stroked his chin and thought for a moment.
“Well, let’s take a look at the opinion polls and then decide.”
“All right.”
“What about construction?”
“We have joined hands with two companies that have spoken to us, but there is still one company left. However, it is not a very large company and has little recognition, so we are not paying much attention to it. Perhaps it will go to the Yusenko camp or give up on construction. “It will be one of two things.”
“I understand.”
“There will be a debate soon. Get ready.”
Yanukovych got up, stood in front of the mirror, scrunched up his expression, and began to make a good impression.
After a while, he became ‘Smile’, as his nickname suggests, with a warm and personable smile.
