Closed Beta I Played Alone

Chapter 286

Apocrypha 15. Hong Jooyoung (14).

Incheon International Airport.

“sorry. First of all, there is a place where a prior agreement was made, so I will visit the Blue House later.”

“Yes?”

Although Minister of Foreign Affairs Im Sang-soo had never met face-to-face, he had no choice but to put a shaky expression on his face at the words of Commerce Minister Harrison, whom he had encountered while passing by.

Literally, I did not readily understand that the White House, the Commerce Department, and the Ministry of Home Affairs had a place to visit before the Blue House with the top oil companies from not only the United States but also from around the world.

However, Minister of Foreign Affairs Im Sang-soo did not ask further questions.

If he was offended by asking questions here, he would not have the confidence to leave the Blue House and the National Assembly and handle the people’s resentment.

In any case, Foreign Minister Im Sang-soo stared blankly at the US delegation passing by him.

Then.

“Call the Blue House right now. And every minute they move, they report every second!”

“Yes. all right.”

Of course, Foreign Minister Im Sang-soo’s troubles did not end there.

“Minister of Clinical Trials. Why not move with the American economic mission?”

“Weren’t we going to the Blue House together?”

“Is the US economic delegation going to the hotel first?”

“Did you also visit Korea to solve crude oil?”

“Netizens are praising the current government of the Republic of Korea for what Japan, which has been very close to the United States, has not been able to do. It’s currently on the rise to approval ratings. What is the government’s position on that?”

“Can we bring in enough crude oil? Can we say that the price of gasoline, which has nearly doubled right now, will stop rising?”

Foreign Minister Im Sang-soo could not say anything to reporters who were asking all kinds of questions about him.

If I had moved with the US economic delegation, I would have carried them on my back and would have missed them.

therefore.

“The current government is doing its best to resolve this oil crisis. The visit of the US economic delegation is also part of that effort. It is difficult to give a definitive answer yet, but we will do our best to give good results. thank you.”

After those words, Foreign Minister Im Sang-soo quickly left the airport.

If I keep watching for nothing, it will only increase the number of embarrassing things.

Myungjin Group headquarters.

“……”

Chairman Hong Sang-man stared at his youngest son terrifyingly.probably the first time.

However.

sniffling. sniffling.

She relaxed her expression as she looked at her youngest son, who was leaning back on the sofa as if nothing had happened and drinking the car.

Because there is no need to de-energize a target that doesn’t work.

Then she softly opened her mouth.

“Are they coming here now?”

When it comes to them, of course, the American economic delegation is talking about terrestrial broadcasting as well as cable.

And Chairman Hong Sang-man could get the same answer from his youngest son.

“Yes.”

“Why?”

“Because I called you.”

“……”

Chairman Hong Sang-man had no choice but to be speechless again.

In the meantime, of course, he could still hear his youngest son’s roaring voice.

“I’m sorry I couldn’t tell you earlier. I rushed it, but as you know, the United States is a huge country. There are so many steps to go through. Moreover, it took a while since the newly traded crude oil is not 1 or 2 barrels, but is equivalent to dozens of oil tankers, so it took me a while to get things sorted out.

That’s how I ended up talking.”

“……”

“First of all, there is no need to prepare the staff in a hurry. All you have to do is review the proposals they bring and say they will give you an answer soon. Of course, it is not a proposal that harms Myungjin, so you can accept it as is, but just in case you don’t know, please have the working people review it. If there are any changes, tell the US side without adding or subtracting.

doing 👌👌👌👌👌 Then I’ll just go. dad.”

“……”

After those words, Chairman Hong Sang-man could not catch his youngest son as he exited his room with a nonchalant expression.

Then, he opened his mouth softly to the manager Seok In-soo, who had been sitting next to him since before.

“Oh Tae-seok… Where did you say he is now?”

Of course, Chairman Hong Sang-man also knew about Oh Tae-seok.

Because he got the report right away.

He was also an employee who took the elite course for the next generation of Myeongjin.

“I know you are in Sierra Leone. He also took away 7 elite employees from Myungjin’s secretariat. Of course I didn’t stop it. In the end, it became Jooyoung’s hands and feet and turned into a moving person.”

“What are you doing there?”

“I’m doing quite a few things… all I know is that De Beers is putting a lot of effort into it.”

“Is it diamonds if it’s Divus?”

“Yes.”

“……”

At those words, Chairman Hong Sang-man remembered a large fish tank in the living room.

According to the butler, the fish tank was brought in by his youngest son.

However, there was something on the bottom of the tank instead of sand.

Just a lot of shiny things.

Chairman Hong Sang-man said at the moment is it a diamond? I thought of that though.

Shaking my head.

He immediately shook his head from side to side.

Because it was enough to be in the tens of billions, maybe even more.

There is no ignorant person who puts such diamonds on the floor just to decorate a fish tank.

However.

‘If the US economic delegation really comes to Myeongjin…’

First of all, Chairman Hong Sang-man, who had put his thoughts up to that point, opened his mouth softly.

“Prepare to meet them.”

“…Yes.”

So, although Chairman Hong Sang-man was still skeptical, he assumed that the US economic delegation would come here and prepared for it.

***

At that time, the Blue House.

“Where the hell are you moving? What’s in that direction?”

“Currently, we are passing through Incheon International Airport via Yeongjong Bridge, so it is difficult to estimate the exact destination. But it seems certain that it is Seoul.”

“Damn it! Watch till the end.”

“Yes. all right.”

That visual future group.

“You didn’t move to the Blue House?”

“Yes. The Blue House dispatched Foreign Minister Im Sang-soo, but the US side refused to escort and moved separately.”

“Then where is your destination? Even if it’s a hotel rather than the Blue House, there’s no reason to refuse an escort, right?”

“That’s… it’s impossible to understand the Yeongjong Bridge as it hasn’t come out yet.”

“Well. If not for the Blue House…”

Director Yoo Seong-yeop had no choice but to blur the end of his speech.

The Minister of Commerce and the Deputy Secretary of the Interior visited there, a person called an alter ego of President William.

There are also two representatives from the world’s oil refining industry.

enormous size.

From the perspective of Director Yoo Seong-yeop, no matter how much he thought about it, only the Blue House had the ability to bring such a large figure to the Republic of Korea.

But you refuse to be escorted by the Blue House?

It meant only one thing.

That is, there was no communication with the Blue House in advance.

‘Who are you then? Who brought them to Korea? Is there a place in Korea where that is possible?’

Even the future is impossible.

So, at the fact that there was a place in Korea that did such a thing, Director Yoo Seong-yeop had no choice but to frown a little.

At that time, the Daesung group.

“Damn it! Why did America move?”

Daesung has already bought a huge amount of crude oil futures.

There was even a tanker that was rented for five times the usual price.

In other words, from the standpoint of Daesung, Saudi Arabia’s attack on oil facilities and Iran’s blockade of the Strait of Homur had to be prolonged even more.

I assumed such a situation and made a huge bet.

However.

“Damn it! How did you manage the strings of the Blue House? I should have figured it out somehow! That’s not what I paid for!”

“That’s… The Blue House also received a report late yesterday. It was such a sudden visit.”

Of course, even with that answer, Chairman Kim Jung-han’s anger did not subside.

Maybe because I didn’t know that not only Daesung Oil, but also Daesung itself would stumble.

So a huge amount of money has been put into it.

“great. But why are the Americans moving separately from the Blue House?”

“that is…”

bang!

“Damn it! I don’t know this and I don’t know that! How to do business without knowing anything!”

Chairman Kim Jeong-hwan slapped his desk hard at the hesitant words of the employee and vomited out anger.

And then he had someone who opened his mouth carefully.

This is Daesung Jungyu’s president, Kim Man-soo.“I… Chairman, if US crude oil comes into Korea, the crude oil futures purchased today will plummet. It has already started to turn into a bear market. You need to clean it up before that. If it was Japan, I would definitely buy it.”

“How much?”

“……”

Daesung Refinery’s president, Kim Man-soo, did not answer Chairman Kim’s question of how much he would resell.

It was clear that he would not buy it at a reasonable price from the point of view of Japan, who already knew the situation in Korea.

“But… if crude oil really comes in in bulk from the United States, the damage will increase exponentially. Exxon Mobil and Chevron. With their capabilities, in just a few days, South Korea can import crude oil that can be used for months. In other words, we need to minimize our losses even now!”

Kim Man-soo, president of Daesung Refinery, spoke out as if appealing to him that he should make a choice, even if it was the next best solution out of the worst.

ExxonMobil and Chevron were huge oil companies.

But.

“It’s already late. Tankers were also rented at a huge cost, and even selling crude oil futures is at a loss. rather break up. I will bet everything on the side of the U.S. economic delegation and the collapse of the oil trade.”

“……”

“……”

“……”

There was a heavy silence in the Daesung group meeting room.

***

First of all, those who are engaged in economic activities or have even one interest in the economy have been watching TV since morning.

No, everyone who owned a car or even a scooter watched TV.

The price of oil, which almost doubled in two weeks, made it inevitable.

And when the US economic delegation stopped in front of a huge building in Seoul, everyone was shocked.

Because it was in front of the headquarters of a company that I had never thought of as neither the Blue House nor a hotel.

Exactly Myungjin.

Moreover, as soon as the US economic delegation stood up, they rushed out of the headquarters, as if they knew it would happen.

By looking at it, I could recognize most of them.

In the end, the US Secretary of Commerce and the Vice Minister of the Interior also knew that it was Myeongjin that brought people from the global oil refining industry to Korea.

So there were quite a few people who were surprised.

“Not the Blue House, but Myeongjin?”

“That’s also it, but not the future, but Myungjin?”

“Did Myung-jin have that much influence?”

“Of course, it is true that Myungjin belongs to one of the top five companies in Korea, but the opponent is the United States. United States of America! Moreover, President William’s henchman, Thomas Tyler, has also come!”

The people were shocked that the Americans naturally entered the Myeongjin group headquarters under the guidance of Myeongjin.

But there were those who were more shocked than the people.

Daesung and Gusan group, who started with Mirae Group and competed with Myeongjin for second place.

Besides that.

Korea-Japan Energy.

“He said… Do you still have a string connected to the oil refinery in Myungjin?”

“There is!”

“call! Either way, get in touch and make an appointment!”

“Yes! all right.”

Gemstone Caltex.

“Damn it! All the bastards who asked to hold hands with Daesung rather than Myungjin came up and hit me in the head!”

“……”

“……”

“……”

First of all, the oil refining industry had no choice but to fall into a bigger shock.
