[313]Guerrilla warfare. 3
I was curious about who I was dealing with and what kind of transaction it was, but I had to put my curiosity aside for now because of my father’s next words.
“But you shouldn’t ignore small things. You have to scrape together everything you can. The big stem and small branches are all important. got it?”
My head nodded, but I had no idea what the deal my father was talking about was.
“Your father still doesn’t look relieved. “I guess the big deal you mentioned is easy, right?”
“okay. “If it were easy, would I be this sensitive?”
When Jin Kyung-jun wanted to ask more questions, Vice Chairman Jin Young-ki changed the topic to a very sensitive topic.
“But you don’t say you’re upset.”
“yes?”
“The foundation. Made by you…”
I had so much to say, but I was suppressing it. Even though his father created a foundation that looked like a hollow steel core and handed it over to him, he was not angry.
If the father breaks his promise to pass on many things first, he will be given immunity for betraying his parents and siblings and joining hands with his cousin.
“It’s okay, father. What’s important now is not me. Keeping what our family has intact comes first. You can leave my part slowly. “Don’t worry too much.”
Jin Gyeong-jun read the strangeness in his father’s eyes as he looked at him.
It wasn’t until my mid-thirties that I realized how to open my parents’ wallet without having to ask for it.
The way to do that is to take care of your own responsibility without relying on your parents. That’s when something unexpected happens.
The tightly closed wallet slowly opens.
“okay. Don’t be impatient, just wait a little. I have thought of everything and am preparing. You will never feel sorry for this father. haha.”
Jin Gyeong-jun felt sorry for his father’s hand stroking his back, but he shook off his regret thinking about what he would have.
＊＊＊
“Do you think Jin Young-jun did a good job finding a wife?”
“Didn’t you make an in-law relationship with a media company so you could use something like this when you need it? But who did this planning? Editor-in-Chief? Or the head writer?”
“Both. A fantastic combination. “I also often hung out with those gentlemen when I served the Chairman…”
Hansung Ilbo opened with a summary of Rachel’s press conference and sniped at readers with an editorial.
The acquisition of a domestic company by a foreign investment company was framed as an expropriation rather than a drain on national wealth.
Miracle suddenly turned into Dongyang Chuksik Co., Ltd., and Rachel represented the company’s founder, Hirobumi Ito.
Yeouido’s Korean Miracle has turned into a traitor and a stooge of national wealth exploitation.
“That is the strength that has allowed it to endure for nearly a hundred years even through harsh times. Now take a good look. Tomorrow, foreign capital will turn into exploitative capital and make a fuss in the media?”
“We live in a world where even the president advertises that he will attract foreign capital, but they are imposing their own standards.”
“Just a few days ago, the Hansung Ilbo was also talking about how our economy needs to attract foreign capital. “That kind of shamelessness is the secret to survival and strength.”
“I have to say hello to those shameless men. Chairman, please make a space for us.”
Chairman Lee Hak-jae could not hold back his laughter.
“Arthur. These guys can’t do it. How can you stop Saju from siding with her in-laws? “Even if you give me a shower with money, I won’t waver.”
If everything could be solved with money alone, I would already be the chairman of Sunyang Group.
Money is just a symbol of desire and not everything. What matters is desire.
“And even if those two people switch to your side, nothing much will change. Hansung Ilbo has a lot of writers. “A replacement will come out soon.”
“Are you sure that those two are the mainstays of the current Hanseong Ilbo?”
“That’s right.”
“Then it’s worth a try. If you pull out a mainstay, those who become the next mainstay will not take root in Hansung Ilbo. “If there is a precedent, we follow it.”
“What does that mean?”
“All we have to do is crack the tight-knit Hansung Ilbo. “You’ll find out when you’re done, so just take a seat.”
Chairman Hakjae Lee took a long sigh and picked up the phone.
I was busy making some preliminary preparations before meeting the two beams. Of course, during that time, Hansung Ilbo’s onslaught did not stop, and other media outlets also dealt with the infiltration of foreign capital to some extent.
I met them when the issues raised by Hansung Ilbo were covered on TV debate programs.
“I have committed an offense, but I hope you will understand.”
The two people were surprised when I showed up instead of Chairman Lee Hak-jae, but they soon relaxed and showed the smile of a winner.
“He says all kinds of things. “Having seen it in person, I think the rumors that are always going around are true.”
“Oh, that rumor? “Are you saying that I am the owner of Miracle?”
“Otherwise, would you have any humility with us? “We are the only ones launching an onslaught on Miracle right now.”
A proud attitude.
They think I came here to humble myself and compromise.
“The truth of the rumor will gradually be revealed…. Anyway, I have seen the power of Hansung Ilbo to dominate hegemony. As expected, the tip of the pen was sharper than money. “The advertising costs paid by HW, Sunyang Finance, and Sunyang Heavy Industries would be equivalent to those of Sunyang Electronics.”
For a moment, a look of discomfort appeared on their faces, but their smiles immediately returned.
“Why are you doing this? “I’m sure you’re not planning on silencing us with advertising, right?”
“Isn’t there a place like Hanseong Ilbo among print advertisements? “I’m sure you’ve seen the full effect of advertising, right?”
He still has a confident attitude.
What they say is not wrong. Even just an apartment advertisement in the Hanseong Ilbo will result in a flood of phone calls.
This is because most of the rich people in this country are subscribers to Hansung Ilbo. It is not easy to threaten the power of Hansung Ilbo, which holds the largest purchasing power as its subscribers, with advertising volume.
“Oh my, that was just a show of condescension. Advertisements and articles are separate issues. I’m not that narrow-minded. haha.”
When the first greetings were finished, the editor-in-chief said with his eyes shining.
“I see you talking about the advertising volume of HW, Sunyang Finance, and Construction as if you have it in your hands… I guess you have no intention of hiding it any longer.”
“Are there just one or two reporters that your sister-in-law assigned to me? “It’s hard to hide it just by checking the people I meet.”
The two looked at each other and cleared their throats.
“Oh, I guess you didn’t receive the report. This… I said something unnecessary….”
“There is no reason for us to be reported. “It’s a private household matter.”
“Aren’t they the ones who jumped in to help my sister-in-law with a piece called Hansung Ilbo in that private family fight? “Director and Chief Editor?”
A chill flowed through the well-prepared Korean dinner table.
“I don’t want eating a meal to be this uncomfortable….”

The editor-in-chief of the Hanseong Ilbo put the spoon down on the table so loudly that it made a clang sound.
“I had high expectations because I was a young man praised by the whole world… but this is a disappointment. Are you just being sarcastic just because you don’t like the article? “I’m not broad-minded enough to listen to that sarcasm and eat, so I’ll get up first.”
The editor-in-chief also took notice of the editor-in-chief and stood up.
“I’m going to stop talking about the company and start talking about my personal life… Please listen. “It won’t be a loss.”
I turned away from their eyes and filled my empty glass with alcohol. If you look straight ahead, it’s hard to bend your pride. Isn’t a snowball fight a battle of pride?
I felt like I knew it without even looking. The editor-in-chief will wink at the editor-in-chief and pull his sleeve.
The two people sat down again, lifted their filled glasses and drank them down.
I spoke on behalf of those who were reluctant to open their mouths first.
“I didn’t create this place to ask you to write an article favorable to me, nor to ask you to write an editorial praising foreign capital targeting Sunyang Electronics.”
“Let’s not talk back and get to the point. “What’s your personal story?”
The editor-in-chief said sharply.
“For personal reasons, how about you two break your pens now? If I stop, my hand holding the pen and my eyes staring at the manuscript will become tired.”
“what? “Let’s see, let’s see… Do you know that horses are sweet?”
This time, the editor-in-chief was furious, but the editor-in-chief was rather calm.
“Let’s listen to the end.”
There even seemed to be a faint smile on Pil Joo’s face.
Inspiration…. He is quick to notice. That’s probably why I survived until now.
“If we put down the pen and move away from the manuscript, what do you think we should do? “That’s all I learned…?”
“Once you finish your studies and have solid qualifications, you should get a job. “How long do you plan on studying?”
The editor-in-chief did not hide his disgusted expression.
“The only thing I could think of was an executive position with a high salary as bait? “You’re still a child because you don’t know that that doesn’t work for everyone.”
How will the tone of voice change when the director’s expression changes?
“A person who has just completed his studies is far from qualified if he wants a high salary and an executive position. “I’m thinking of offering a non-regular position.”
Even the most clueless person knows that my proposal is not ordinary. There is only one non-regular position available for the director and editorial writer of the largest newspaper.
The two people just swallowed their saliva and looked at each other. Now all you have to do is smile and wait until they open their mouths.
The first person to speak was the editor-in-chief.
“We can go to that non-regular position whenever we want. “I’m telling you this because I think you’re mistaken as if it’s something big.”
“Those who got a job in Yeouido on the back of a media company… aren’t they the media’s sidari? “You have to speak according to the script given by the company, play the role of a raised hand, and stand in line as told… So, seeing a senior member of the National Assembly as a former journalist is a star in the sky.”
“You should investigate further. “There are many senior lawmakers.”
Pil Joo smiled softly and said.
“Those senior lawmakers are the ones who succeeded through personal skills. You were a star even before you wore the badge of a member of the National Assembly, right? So much so that they received a lot of love calls from Yeouido…. If the two of you were stars like that, Yeouido would already have been your place of work, not Gwanghwamun.”
They quickly drank a glass of alcohol to hide their red faces.
“A lawmaker who is completely independent from the company, a first-term lawmaker who does not care about what anyone thinks and sticks to his convictions. “Don’t you think this level is enough to be considered a journalist?”
“Are you asking me to use my National Assembly member’s badge as bait to write an article favorable to me? Does this mean that instead of buying articles with ads, you will buy them with seats?”
“You listened to me in vain. I never asked you to write lyrics. “I told him to break the pen.”
The two people frowned as if they still didn’t understand the exact meaning of what I said.
“I’m telling you to resign and get ready to go to Yeouido. I will give you a gold badge during next year’s general election. “I will help you become a proud member of the constituency rather than a trivial proportional representative.”
Nomination to the National Assembly is a reward that can only be earned after a long period of loyalty. Even that is not something that everyone can get.
You have to fight hard to survive in the media, and the timing of the elections every four years has to be right. Lastly, you have to be lucky enough to find an empty seat. It’s not an uncertain promise, but to move to Yeouido next year on the condition that I quit my job…
When the editor-in-chief made an expression of complete disbelief, the editor-in-chief burst out laughing and said:
“It’s an old British bourgeoisie tactic of promoting good tax officials to better positions and then getting rid of them. You’re smart, after all. “Uh-huh.”
“You know very well. At that time, no tax official refused a promotion. “They were smart too.”
That laugh is not the laugh that comes from rejecting an offer.
It’s a clever inspiration.
