Franchise God Episode 1629
348. Big Hand of Private Board (3)
Shinnonhyeon Le Ju Blanc Hotel.
Ha Su-young called the group executives together at the banquet hall.
“We are beginning to withdraw from the U.S. market.”
The bosses looked up at Ha Su-yeong with a feeling that the time had finally come.
Everyone’s faces turned bright red and their hearts raced.
“Are we going to withdraw completely or partially?”
“We will maintain our arms imports for now. Lockheed Martin is our best friend. We cannot harm our friend.”
Everyone nodded as if they knew this would happen.
Lockheed Martin followed Ha Soo-young more like a president than the federal government, and Ha Soo-young was a true soldier who thought about increasing the Navy’s power day and night.
“We will also continue construction of the vacuum tube train for now. If the United States uses this as a weapon even a little, we will immediately stop construction, but we must show the world that we are being oppressed and have no choice but to stop.”
“So you’re saying that we shouldn’t make a fuss over something that’s just a light poke?”
“You understand correctly.”
Fighter imports continue as is, looking at Lockheed Martin.
The vacuum tube train responds flexibly depending on the US government’s attitude.
“We will immediately stop importing robot parts. Since the Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives has already mentioned sanctions on robot parts exports, domestic production has become an unavoidable path.”
“….”
The bosses wondered what the Deputy Speaker of the House had said during his last visit.
“Well, I guess you’re all curious. Well, let me tell you. I felt fear for the first time in my life when the Speaker of the House threatened me.”
“As you know, Terrarium is the source of all my wealth. All my influence comes from the crops produced in Terrarium. And the parts produced in Silicon Valley’s robot industrial complex are essential for running an unmanned farm.”
Ha Su-young clenched her fists and trembled all over her body.
At first glance, he seems like someone who is genuinely afraid of American sanctions.
But no one was fooled.
They remembered Ha Soo-young’s performance as a possessed, deadly drug dealer in the old ‘Man from Colombia’.
“These days, I wake up with a start even when I’m sleeping. I can’t sleep because I’m worried about how I’m going to maintain the farm robots if the supply of robot parts is cut off. I’m also worried about whether the parts will be produced domestically.”
“Congressman Rohan is here. Is it a big deal to localize parts? It will be fine. Don’t worry too much, Chairman.”
“That’s right. If Congressman Rohan puts his mind to it, we could make much better and cheaper parts.”
“no!”
Ha Su-young slammed her fist down.
“Rohan has a lot to do right now. He’s so busy that he doesn’t have time to spare!”
“….”
Even if the bosses don’t know about anything else, they check Ha Soo-young and Rohan’s every move every day.
It’s not that I’m spying on them, but I’m saying that I’m always keeping an eye and ear on what they’re doing within acceptable limits.
And unlike Ha Soo-young, Rohan is the type who actively promotes himself through social media.
‘Yesterday, you posted a bunch of photos on SNS saying you were partying with actresses… ‘
‘It seems like you’ve been flexing and playing around all day these days.’
‘That’s a busy person?’
“Rohan is an actor, a scientist, and a member of the National Assembly. He is a member of the National Assembly who works differently from other people. He has more than one or two things to do right now, and he has a lot of work and people to take care of.”
Ha Soo-young looked around at the managers with a very serious expression.
“Let alone making something new, mass-producing existing parts? I wouldn’t be interested. This time, it’s hard to expect Rohan’s help.”
“Oh, that kind of scenario… … No, I slipped up. I understand what you mean.”
A certain CEO who almost made a slip of the tongue without realizing it was barely able to pick it up before it all spilled.
“This is the first major crisis our swimming farm has ever faced. The US sanctions on robot parts exports. I wasn’t this scared even when I was fighting the Central French allies in France.”
If that’s the case, then so be it.
Accepting it that way is the duty of an office worker.
“Fortunately, we have enough stock to maintain it for a while. However, if we do not succeed in domestically producing a replacement product as soon as possible, we may have difficulty operating the terrarium in the future.”
‘That means you can deliberately stop farms or reduce grain production.’
‘Aha, is that why you emphasized localization?’
‘By the way, if this happens, the robot industrial complex will completely collapse.’
America’s cutting-edge robotics industry was fed, sheltered, and raised by Ha Soo-young.
The real investment is buying a lot.
Ha Su-young was a big player in the robot market, and the actual increase in sales led to the formation of the current robot industrial complex.
Even now that it is fully grown and established, more than 80% of the robot industry complex’s sales come from Ha Su-young’s parts purchases.
“So what about hair loss treatment?”
“I can’t become evil by resisting evil. I can’t persecute alopecia just because I have American citizenship. And I believe that most alopecia are not swayed by the evil Washington Congress.”
For American bald people, Ha Soo-young was a god.
At least among the balding people, there was no one who looked down on Ha Soo-young. She was an absolute supporter who would never turn her back on her under any circumstances.
“The same goes for carbon capture on pastures. We can’t bring all those 30 million cows to Korea. There’s no pasture land to raise them on. We have no choice but to continue raising the cows there. Of course, we have to capture the methane they emit.”
Businesses that need to withdraw from the United States immediately.
A business that will withdraw immediately if the US strikes.
A business that will not be withdrawn even if we are conquered by nuclear war with the United States.
Ha Soo-young made a clear distinction and spoke bluntly.
The only business that will not be withdrawn even at the risk of nuclear war is the F-22 import contract with Lockheed Martin.
“I’ll leave the rest of the negotiations to you.”
“Where are you going?”
“Yes, I want to go back to the African continent and look back on nature in order to heal my wounded heart from the evil messenger of the US Congress, the Vice-Speaker of the House of Representatives. I will get the necessary reports through Freedom, but externally, I am very afraid of the US, so I fled to the remote areas of Africa where it is difficult for hitmen to operate to avoid assassination.”
And Ha Soo-young immediately declared that she was leaving.
It wasn’t a breakup.
After the chairman leaves, the executives will remain in the banquet hall to discuss future matters.
“Please take care of it.”
The executives who came out to see them off on the hotel rooftop helipad all bowed.
They saw it through the open door as Ha Su-young got on.
Four beauties laughing and chatting happily in a comfortable tour dress code as if they were going on a trip.
“….”
The bosses said nothing as the helicopter took off with a powerful gust of wind.
* * *
The CEOs of Silicon Valley’s robot industry complex, who had been relying on Ha Soo-young alone, were in a panic and gathered together.
By meeting without a single person missing or being late, they demonstrated how seriously they were taking the situation.
They were also wise, they saw through the essence of the solution, and they did not show the foolish side of wasting time with useless hesitation.
“Let’s move to Korea. No, if we’re going to move, China would be better. Since the entire country is the Chairman’s private property, it will be easy to do business there.”
“We must not forget to confess our shortcomings to the Chairman and ask for forgiveness.”
CEOs weren’t just sitting back and watching.
How can a business owner just sit by and watch while the customers who feed them are being persecuted by the evil US Congress?
They also lobbied here and there and put a lot of effort into mediation (concessions from the US government).
I tried hard, but I just didn’t have enough strength.
How can the Robot Industry Complex Alliance win against the US Congress, which has 270 million people on its back (according to the results of a public opinion poll on antipathy toward Ha Soo-young)?
“The National Assembly will not easily allow it. We will stop it by any means necessary. However, we cannot expect help from Chairman Ha Soo-young.”
“That’s right. We have to figure this out on our own.”
“But before the swimming group can truly have its own production line, we need to make our intentions clear.”
“What happens if they still don’t accept it?”
“That’s impossible. The swimming group knows how much effort we’ve put into improving quality, and they appreciate it.”
“you’re right.”
They vaguely felt that Ha Su-yeong had intentionally raised them.
The most powerful evidence is the incredible overtech that Rohan is putting out.
“It won’t be easy.”
The CEO who hosted today’s meeting looked around with cold eyes and said.
“We could be accused of being spies leaking technology. Congress would do that. Maybe the NSA or the FBI is wiretapping here right now.”
“Oh my God. You didn’t even install a listening system here?”
“We have taken action, but we cannot be certain because we do not know the extent of the NSA’s eavesdropping technology.”
“I don’t think everyone here has made a lot of money so far and now they think they should retire.”
If that were the case, you wouldn’t have come in the first place.
“No matter what happens, we will cross the Pacific and arrive at the Korean Peninsula. Just like our ancestors who were persecuted by the British and driven to America, enslaved, and eventually achieved independence, we too will be able to sing of the greatness of knowledge in Korea, the land of freedom where milk and honey flow.”
Congress will not readily allow the company to relocate.
But no matter what happens, I will go to Korea.
We will safely cross the sea, taking care of everything without missing even the smallest piece of equipment.
“We have to move forward by giving and receiving feedback for the next 24 hours. Good luck to you all.”
In the midst of the disbanding atmosphere, someone asked loudly.
“But Mr. Speaker, who shot the gun?”
“What do you mean? I thought the shooter had already been arrested.”
“So the question is, who hired that shooter?”
“Are you saying there is a mastermind among us?”
“I’m sure of it. Because I was trying hard to find a broker when I heard about the shooting. I guess I got robbed. Hahaha.”
“….”
“If you don’t want to reveal who you are, just send me your secret account number. This is a burden that we shouldn’t bear alone, but should all share.”
“Hey… … But do you think there’s a mastermind among us?”
Another CEO chimed in, laughing heartily.
“Actually, I was debating whether or not to hire him, but I gave up because I didn’t know the route. But I felt relieved when I heard the news. It would have been better if he had died, but that’s a little disappointing.”
“Send me your secret account number too. I’ll transfer five million dollars.”
