After the meeting, Kim Cheol-soo went out to the park outside the company for a while.
On a bench in the corner of the park, I sat in the same position for a while and gathered my thoughts.
Choi Kyung-hoon did not clearly talk about the ‘enemy’.
But judging from the atmosphere of the conversation at the time, it seemed like such a being really existed.
He said he wanted to marry Hye-na into a good family to protect her.
At that time, I felt like I was being ignored.
Now that I am more successful and stronger than that, I wanted to hear the president say, “I am so glad I married you.”
That desire was boiling over.
Kim Cheol-soo picked up his cell phone and sent a text message to someone.
After a while, a man quietly approached me and handed me an Americano.
It was Lee Han-soo.
“Is there a problem? “Mr. Assistant Manager.”
“I need some help.”
Kim Cheol-soo has a different expression than usual.
Hansu Lee’s head automatically nodded as he saw Kim Cheolsu earnestly asking for help.
“What’s going on?”
“You said you have a close relationship with children of domestic conglomerates, right?”
“It’s kind of like that.”
“Do you remember one day you said you would help me with the Volkswagen thing?”
Lee Han-soo looked at Kim Cheol-soo and nodded.
“yes. “I remember it clearly.”
“Could you arrange a meeting with people from the SKY Group?”
“Is it because of the acquisition of SKY Teletech in which Hanyoung Group participated this time?”
“yes. “I will have to bring it to the Hanyoung Group.”
Hansoo Lee took a sip of coffee and said nothing for a moment.
He was quite close with Choi Won-jun, the eldest son of SKY Group Chairman Geun-sik Choi, acting as an older brother and younger brother.
It wasn’t a big problem to let the two meet, but I thought it would be difficult to change the trend.
However, looking at Kim Cheol-soo’s determined expression, it seemed like he had a card that could change the situation.
‘What is this person thinking? Do you really think you can bring it into the Korean-English group?’
Hansoo Lee, who was fiddling with his chin, quickly nodded.
“All right. That’s not difficult. And… I don’t think it’s a matter of replacing the Volkswagen gun. “If you can do me a simple favor later, I will connect you.”
“Well, I don’t know if it’s a really simple request, but… I can’t refuse it.”
“All right. “Let me connect you with Choi Won-jun, CEO of SKY Group.”
“Can you do it in three days?”
“I will try.”
Lee Han-soo smiled and nodded, and Kim Cheol-soo also smiled and took a sip of his coffee.
“thank you.”
**
After sending Lee Han-su away, Kim Cheol-soo picked up his phone again.
Yushenko’s departure was this evening.
There was one thing to check.
– Yes, this is Yushenko.
– This is Kim Cheol-soo, assistant manager at Hanyoung General Trading.
– Oh, there you are. okay. Have you ever thought about Bokchae?
– yes. I’ve thought about it, but I think it would take quite a while to talk about it.
– I’m on my way to the airport right now, but it’s going to be difficult.
-···If that’s the case, I guess there’s nothing we can do about it.
– hmm···. Just wait a moment.
Yushenko, who was in the car on the way to the airport, asked the aide next to him.
“Do you have any important plans tomorrow?”
“I have an agreement with Japanese politicians regarding the Kuril Islands dispute…”
The aide glanced at Yusenko’s expression and continued speaking.
“I think we can put it off for a day or two.”
“So be it. “Let’s delay our departure by about a day.”
“All right. “Senator.”
Yushenko picked up her phone again.
– I think I can make time.
– Then, I will come and see you.
Yushenko told me which hotel he would be staying in and closed his phone.
A situation where one cannot decide between the Western world and Russia.
I needed someone’s advice.
And this young friend from Korea who accurately predicted his situation.
I decided that if it was a meeting with this person, it would be worth making Japanese politicians wait.
“Japanese politicians won’t like it. “Is this meeting worth it?”
“of course. And they also called me because of the Kuril Islands dispute with Russia, so it would be a problem if they were offended just because I was a day or two late.”
Meanwhile, Kim Cheol-soo cut off contact and clenched his fists, shouting “Nice” to himself.
The key to what he would do in the future was how important Yusenko considered himself.
The fact that he even delayed his departure was proof that he was a very important person to Yusenko.

‘Things will turn out easier than you think.’
**
“It became difficult?”
Choi Kyung-hoon frowned.
This was because I felt uncomfortable after hearing the report about the acquisition of SKY Teletech.
The company has raised enough funds by issuing convertible bonds.
If Pantech is selected as the preferred bidder because of its help in past management disputes, all work done so far will be in vain.
“Why are you doing things like this?”
Youngjun Choi lowered his head.
“sorry. father.”
“Is there no other way?”
“We are trying our best to solve the problem, but SKY Group is very resolute.”
Choi Kyung-hoon clicked his tongue while listening to Yu Ji-hoon.
“So you’re going to give up?”
“no. “We keep finding ways.”
“There are only two weeks left!”
Choi Kyung-hoon closed his eyes.
Recently, I heard that due to an internal power struggle within SKY Group, the misconduct of Chairman Choi Keun-sik has been formally reported to the prosecution.
I thought that something could be done by using that information, but SKY Group and Hanyoung Group had no contact at all.
There was no clear idea of what to give or receive.
“Assistant Manager Kim Cheol-soo jumped directly into this case.”
Choi Kyung-hoon’s eyes opened when he heard Choi Young-jun’s low voice.
“They say they will change the preferred negotiating partner to Hanyoung Group, not Pantech, within a week. “The situation is left to him for now.”
“how?”
“I said I would try to use my relationship with Yushenko.”
“Yushenko?”
“yes. Yushenko, who is supported by Western powers, is currently under pressure from Russia. “If you use it well, there will definitely be an opportunity to intervene.”
“There was no exact story?”
“yes. father. He said he would do it himself and asked me to leave it to him.”
“directly?”
Youngjun Choi nodded.
“It looked a little different than before.”
Is it because of what we talked about yesterday?
Until now, Kim Cheol-soo’s actions, which had been consistent with his rank, have changed.
Did he jump in because he was frustrated with the way things were going?
Kyung-Hoon Choi imagined a few things and asked Young-Jun Choi.
“So, let’s just wait and see what he does?”
“no. We have already started analyzing the situation between Ukraine and Russia, Yusenko’s policy direction, and the relationship between Korea, Ukraine, and Russia. “I plan to move to support Deputy Kim Cheol-soo as much as possible.”
‘Hey guy, you move from the front and the staff supports you from behind. How come things are going backwards! ‘Tsk.’
Choi Gyeong-hoon scolded Choi Young-jun in his mind and nodded.
“I get it. “Support him as much as possible, and bring the results to my desk.”
Youngjun Choi bowed his head, opened the door, and went out.
After a while, Choi Gyeong-hoon got up from his desk, grabbed his cane, and walked around his office, lost in thought.
**
That evening.
“Sit here.”
“yes. “Senator.”
Kim Cheol-su sat across from Yusenko and put the briefcase he was carrying on the ground.
“I didn’t know you would postpone it until the schedule.”
“Thanks to you, I was able to identify my weakness, but I really want to hear every word you say.”
Yusenko, who was chatting lightly until coffee and refreshments arrived, asked first.
“So, what kind of bokchae can I give you?”
“You have an impatient personality.”
“I like negotiating. “Let’s first hear what you want.”
Kim Cheol-soo smiled and nodded.
“I would like to receive gas supply rights.”
Yushenko woke up without realizing it because the story was so absurd.
“what?”
Kim Cheol-su looked at Yusenko and spoke slowly.
“I understand that a public company under the Ukrainian government deals directly with a Russian gas company.”
Yushenko burst out laughing and shook his head as if he were dumbfounded.
And then he poured the lukewarm coffee into his mouth in one go.
“You’re not saying this in your right mind, are you?”
“That sounds completely sane.”
Yusenko’s already ugly face became even more distorted.
Yushenko’s eyes, which had been full of joy and goodwill the whole time, turned cold.
Kim Cheol-soo didn’t care and began to explain quietly.
“You won’t be able to shake off your Western supporters. And, there will be strong pressure from Russia. The conflict will become more severe, and war will soon break out.”
Russia’s annexation of Crimea in 2014.
It did not happen during the Yusenko regime, but it happened when the Yusenko regime turned against Russia and the Crimea Autonomous Republic and Sevastopol declared independence from Ukraine.
The primary cause is the surge in gas prices.
For those living in cold regions, gas was a necessary tool for survival, but when the Yushenko regime turned its back on Russia, gas supply prices were cut off and gas prices soared more than 20 times.
In the aftermath, Ukraine lost the Crimea Peninsula from Russia.
“···A war is going to break out?”
Yusenko could not believe what Kim Cheol-soo said, but his heart could not help but be shaken by what he showed her.
Kim Cheol-soo looked closely at Yusenko’s severely shaken eyes.
Yushenko was a very gentlemanly, ethical, and good-thinking person.
He was not a person so cruel that he overturned his promise to the West.
For him, who was ready to dedicate himself to Ukraine as president, he had already calculated how big the ripple effect of the word war would be.
and.
Kim Cheol-soo’s judgment was that Yusenko had no choice but to believe what he said, even if it was a bit of a lie.
“It is up to you whether you believe it or not. If nothing is done, we will definitely end up in war with Russia. “I’m sure you have bad feelings about Russia because of the poison attack.”
Kim Cheol-soo deliberately reminded him of the poisonous attack, and Yushenko bit his lip.
I barely managed to control my shaking heart and glared at Kim Cheol-soo.
Kim Cheol-su looked at Yusenko’s ever-changing eyes and continued speaking with a relaxed expression.
“The demand for gas supply rights is to prevent that war.”
“Preventing war? “What does that mean?”
“After the 1988 Seoul Olympics, Korea established friendly diplomatic ties with Russia. Recently, Korea’s loan to Russia was resolved through agreement, and the majority of Russians like Koreans very much. “Active exchanges are also underway with the Russian government and Korean companies.”
Yushenko was finally able to understand what Kim Cheol-soo was talking about.
“What if the Ukrainian government does not receive gas supplies from Russia directly, but indirectly through a Korean company? Does this mean that it is difficult for Russia to put pressure on Korea with gas considering its friendly diplomacy with Korea?”
Kim Cheol-soo smiled and nodded, and Yusenko got goosebumps all over her body.
“Instead of preventing war in Ukraine, I would like to receive gas supply rights through bounty.”
Because I only want to know about the treasure
Yushenko and Kim Cheol-su talked for quite a while.
Of course, it was impossible to completely monopolize one country’s gas supply rights.
However, it was entirely possible to allocate some of it to countries other than Russia.
If Russia were to cut off gas supply and allocate just enough gas to Korean companies to avoid problems with domestic gas use, even in the worst case scenario, citizen backlash could have been prevented.
“I think 20% would be appropriate.”
Ukraine imports $1 billion worth of gas each year.
20% of that was $200 million.
It was a huge supply right that could generate sales of about 300 billion won every year, and Kim Cheol-soo also judged that this was appropriate.
“I think so too.”
Yushenko put a piece of cookie in his mouth and took a sip of water.
“One thing I’m worried about is…”
Kim Cheol-soo turned his eyes to Yusenko.
“The Hanyoung Group has never been in the gas or oil business. Even if we take the gas supply rights, will we be able to proceed without a hitch?”
“The project cannot proceed without government permission, and the Hanyoung Group does not have the infrastructure or capabilities to conduct the project.”
“…Then why did you make this suggestion?”
“Once negotiations with the Korean government are completed, a company will be selected to carry out the project. “When selecting that company, I hope you select the company I mentioned.”
“Are you asking for the right to choose the company you want?”
“yes.”
“That company isn’t Hanyoung, right?”
“You will be quite satisfied. “It’s the largest gas company in Korea.”
“Can you tell me what you’re thinking?”
“If the congressman gives me the right to select that company, I plan to proceed with other transactions with that company using that right to select that company.”
Yushenko nodded to Kim Cheol-soo’s answer.
In the end, it was a transaction in which both sides benefited, so I trusted Kim Cheol-soo’s words.
“I will fix it. “At first, I asked you if you were sane.”
“thank you. “Senator.”
Kim Cheol-su put the briefcase on the table, took out the contract he had prepared and handed it to Yusenko.
Yusenko glanced over the contract, put it back on the table, and looked at Kim Cheol-soo for a long time with a bewildered expression.
It’s hard to believe, but the conversation we just had was already included in the contract.
Although he thought he had discussed it in depth, he had expected all of this.
I realized that I was dragged along by Kim Cheol-soo from beginning to end.
A feeling that sends shivers down my spine.
I got goosebumps again.
To this young Asian man in front of me.
‘How can this be?! I am the person who will become the president of a country…!’
Whether he knew Yusenko’s thoughts or not, Kim Cheol-su just looked at Yusenko with a humble and calm expression.
“Do you have any problem?”
“···No.”
Yushenko put down his pen.
“hmm···. Is there anything else you can tell me?”
It was an expression of willingness to sign if something more was given.
Kim Cheol-su smiled and answered.
“Keep a reasonable path open with Russia as well. Congressman, your base is Europe and the United States, but Ukraine’s base is Russia. “You must be able to encompass both sides to prevent war and conflict.”
“That’s too wordy. “Is there nothing more valuable to say?”
“Crimea Peninsula.”
“Crimea?”
“There is a gas tunnel there that goes to Europe. And most of the people living in that area are of Russian descent. Even geographically, it is adjacent to Russia. “If a dispute arises, it will likely start there.”
“Crimea Peninsula…”
Yushenko thought about the Crimea peninsula several times and picked up the pen again.
“Our relationship doesn’t end here, does it?”
“If you want anything from me, please call me anytime.”
“I understand.”
“Of course, you have to give me Bokchae.”
Yushenko burst out laughing and signed the contract with light movements.
And Kim Cheol-soo clenched his fist under the desk.
