“Jin Do-jun, don’t imitate a chaebol leader for no reason.”
I tried to hide my unpleasant feeling, but my face color changed. He is not yet a corrupt politician.
“Chaebol heads don’t directly talk about money like I do. There are many subordinates who take care of everything without you having to say anything. If you bring up the money topic directly like I did, it is a favor. For example, it’s like pocket money. “He gives me pocket money and doesn’t expect anything in return.”
“Don’t put labels on your money. The size of the money is the name. If it’s big, it’s a bribe, if it’s small, it’s pocket money. Isn’t it?”
“Size is relative… . Well, I don’t mean to argue about this. “I apologize if you were offended.”
For me, the amount of money I give to my parents could be money for someone else’s money. What that person said is not wrong.
The senior economic advisor lightly waved his hand.
“I didn’t say I wanted an apology. It just meant that we should be careful of each other. Anyway, I understand.”
“Can I take this as a positive answer?”
“no. It’s hard to say anything now. But I think it’s something worth trying.”
This answer is not sufficient. I need to hear a definitive answer. If something goes wrong, I only keep 800 billion won in cash and lose the rest. Card company, shares… . I didn’t prepare for three years just to make a few hundred billion.
“Chief.”
“yes.”
“Is it worth trying? I’m not meeting with the chief to check on that. It’s not just something worth trying, it’s a very good idea. “For that, I met with everyone from the Financial Services Commission to Miracle Investment CEO Oh Se-hyun to persuade them.”
Unlike the senior economic advisor, I did not hide my displeasure at all.
“Isn’t this a crisis that this government faced as soon as it was launched? I created an opportunity to overcome that crisis head on. In addition, it is an opportunity to show off the power of the regime. But it’s worth a try… ?”
The Senior Secretary for Economic Affairs was taken aback by my sudden change in attitude and tried to say something, but he didn’t give me the chance.
“Even Miracle would be displeased with me being so lazy. Taking over a failing company is a high-risk business. “Shouldn’t the government hurry up before Miracle changes his mind?”
“Hey, Jin Do-jun. undisturbedly… .”
Seeing him embarrassed, I jumped up.
“I’ll give you one hour. “If there is no clear answer, we will pretend it never happened.”
“Ha, an hour?”
“Aren’t you the chief secretary to the president? Call the ministers of the relevant ministries and report directly to the President. I think an hour is enough. Taking more time will inevitably raise doubts about the current administration’s driving force, and this doubt will increase distrust that this matter will not be handled properly. Then, from now on, I will pretend that it never happened. then.”
I bowed my head to him politely and then turned around.
When you push someone hard, you shouldn’t give them a chance.

One hour felt like a year.
Although I was confident, I cannot completely ignore the habits of public officials who are self-interested. I had a hard time sitting still so I kept pacing.
“Wow, this is crazy. “Sit down.”
Oh Se-hyeon was relaxed. He reassured me that even if this went wrong, it was not a business where he would lose money as he would pocket 800 billion won.
However, for me, it is 7% closer to my grandfather’s study, so it is so important that it cannot be compared to 800 billion.
“don’t worry. I like the scenario this time. There are no villains and no one suffers losses. “Except us.”
“Us?”
“okay. You are doing this because you have decided that the card business has a vision for the future. “If the credit card business continues like this, it will suffer huge losses.”
“uncle.”
“huh.”
“How much cash is in your wallet right now?”
“what? Why is that happening all of a sudden?”
“Take a look. There are more cards than bills, right? Just in case, other than the cashier’s check you carry as an emergency fund, the only thing you have is a card, right? That is the vision of the card business.”
As Oh Se-hyun was rummaging through his wallet, his cell phone rang.
It was exactly an hour after I parted ways with the Senior Secretary for Economic Affairs.
“Yes, Chief.”
– We just finished the meeting and decided to move forward with this plan.
A tired voice came from the phone.
“yes. I am now with Oh Se-hyun, CEO of Miracle. “I will deliver it right away.”
– And you told the Financial Services Commission that you want to complete the acquisition process within the first half of the year?
“yes. do you have a problem?”
– no. Just to see if we can do it faster. If we want to reduce the shock wave like lightning, this is our final conclusion.
It was nice to hear this.
“If you give me a time schedule, I will follow it. It’s no problem even if you do it within a month from now. “I heard that the funds for the acquisition have already been prepared.”
– That’s good. Then we will contact you again.
“Thank you, Chief. And I apologize for my rudeness earlier.”
– you’re welcome. It’s work. haha.
A refreshing laugh was heard.
– There will be a government announcement soon. That’s the signal, so let’s coordinate our steps carefully.
After finishing the call, I smiled at Oh Se-hyun.
“That’s it.”
Oh Se-hyun clapped his hands and burst into laughter.
“Hahaha! Well, this is just taking loot without investment. “Your two uncles suddenly became bigots.”
“The first uncle would be the most absurd. I lost 800 billion won in just two months. haha.”
I was really curious to see how that arrogant expression would change.

“Vice Chairman. We can’t just watch like this. We must also come up with a strong self-rescue plan. “It’s not unusual.”
“It’s been a while since we stopped providing cash services. “The protests from the financial sector are also significant.”
Several card company executives gathered in the vice president’s office were in a cold sweat and complained to Vice Chairman Jin Jin-gi about their difficulties. They also felt a sense of crisis, so they could no longer pay attention.
“Don’t consumers now accept service interruption as a fait accompli? You say you only use it to purchase items? Let’s hold on like this a little longer. “I will solve everything in one shot.”
Although he seemed more relaxed than the executives, Vice Chairman Jin Jin-gi also had a blank look in his eyes as if he couldn’t sleep at night.

“Vice President! “There was a big problem.”
Suddenly the door burst open and a secretary came running in. He turned on the TV first, not even caring that he didn’t knock.
“what?”
One of the executives frowned and shouted, but when he saw the TV screen, he too opened his mouth and said nothing.
There were morning dramas on TV, but there was a text message with breaking news at the bottom.
Two days later.
There are only two days left until credit cards, the card company’s only product, turn into simple plastic.
The executives’ cell phones were already buzzing loudly. Vice Chairman Jin Jin-gi’s call was no exception.
But no one answered the phone. The executives ignored the noisy phone call and were only looking at Vice President Vibrator’s mouth.
“Mo, everyone go out and check what happened. And they also started controlling the media. hurry… .”
The extent of the shock was clearly revealed by the fact that his face was white and he was stuttering and unable to shout.
The executives rushed out of their seats, and Vice Chairman Jin Jin-gi lowered his head and was breathing heavily.
When his breathing quieted, he too stood up. Now that things had come to this point, he had no choice but to throw his last card.
Vice Chairman Vibrator, heading to his brother’s office, pursed his lips tightly.
“Welcome. “I was waiting.”
Vice Chairman Jin Young-ki was already watching urgent breaking news on TV.
『… This suspension of cruise card business is known to be the new government’s strongest measure. With this, the card situation has entered a new phase.』
『We have been requesting strong self-rescue measures from credit card companies, but Sunyang Card has not shown much response. The business community accepted this as a warning expressing the government’s strong will to resolve the credit card crisis at an early stage.』
『Soonyang Group has not made an official response to this government action.』
Vice Chairman Jinyoung-ki turned off the TV.
“Isn’t this government usually a bitch?”
“Isn’t this your brother’s prank?”
“I am not close to this government. No, even if we are close, this is not the case. “Let me be clear, I have nothing to do with it.”
Jinyoung-gi shook his head.
“There are two days left. “What are you going to do?”
“You can’t blow up the company. I have to survive. So please provide 400 billion won in emergency support.”
“I? “I have no money.”
Jinyoung-gi’s eyes as he looked at his younger brother were already victorious.
“I’m sure you’ve already told me what I’ll do if I end up standing on a cliff.”
“Oh, you mean to dispose of the group’s controlling stake?”
As Jinyoung snorted, anxiety crept up in the vibrator. Why is there so much leisure?
“If we can prevent it by disposing of it, we should stop it. “That is the role of the head of the company.”
“older brother!”
Jinyoung-gi threw a document file at his screaming younger brother.
“Timing is important in everything. Your threat has already expired. “Take a look at that.”
The vibrator hastily unfolded the file.
“this… … this… … .”
“I signed it a few days ago. Now you owe me 800 billion. If the Sunyang Card collapses, 7% more stake will be in my hand. There is no longer any reason for me to help you. no… . To be honest, I almost want to pray for it to fail quickly. I can’t be more thankful for this government. “If I had known this would happen, I would have regretted not adding a few billion more in campaign funds.”
Vibrator read the contract he was holding in his trembling hands over and over again.
“Dojun, this bastard… !”
“Don’t blame your little nephew for nothing. He also noticed you a lot. But what can you do? “I don’t know if the 800 billion won I will receive will be lost?”
“Does it look like my collateral is only 800 billion won?”
“He knows that these are stocks that money can’t buy. But now it’s clear, right? Dojun, that guy likes money more than control of the group? He may be young, but he calculates quickly. He realized that it was impossible to take over Sunyang.”
It was a vibrator that raised doubts. Although he was a young nephew, I thought his ambition was greater than the two men in this position. Therefore, he thought that no matter what happened, he would hold on to his share of the stake. Did I read it wrong?
“Now my stake is 43%. With just 8% more, my name will be attached to the Sunyang Group Chairman’s office. It’s really just a matter of time. “All we have to do is persuade the executives and give Do-jun or Oh Se-hyun a few group affiliates.”
Jinyoung-gi said teasingly to his younger brother who was deep in thought and couldn’t say anything.
“Oh, do you want to just hand over your share? Then, I will leave you with the position of vice president and the affiliates you have now. I know very well that you have good management sense. And we are blood brothers. “No matter what anyone says, family is better than strangers.”
The vibrator didn’t listen to his older brother anymore.
It was decided that no solution could be found here. Now, the only person who can save him from the cliff is his father.
As Vibrator was about to leave, Jinyoung-gi’s harsh voice stabbed him in the back.
“Look closely at tomorrow’s headline of the Hanseong Ilbo.”
“what?”
“The media will send a signal that they can freely chew on the Sunyang Group, which they have been paying attention to. Then you will become an unscrupulous manager in an instant? No one will meet you anymore. “I can’t get out.”
I can’t believe the guy who just said something about his veins would say something like that.
Vice Chairman Jin Jin-gi gritted his teeth and kicked out the door.
