400. Who is the one-day puppy?

The Gulf President couldn’t believe what was happening.

“Go back?”

The White House has issued an evacuation order.

“Is that really what the President said?”

“yes.”

It was an extremely cold answer.

It was not the usual attitude you would see in the White House Secretariat.

“If you treat me like this, I might end up in trouble during the upcoming re-election.”

“Can I just tell you that?”

“hey!”

The Gulf President couldn’t help but complain.

“I donated so much to the Democratic Party! You can’t treat me this rudely!”

“Shall I tell you that too?”

“Hoo!”

The Gulf President let out a long sigh.

A situation where you can’t catch a single piece of important information from the short answers.

He was quite unfamiliar with this structure.

“Tell the President that I want to meet with him privately.”

“well.”

The White House Secretariat laughed coldly.

“It’s already the New Year, so you have a lot of events to attend to. It means that it’s not a time when you have the free time to meet with even a single businessperson.”

“So you’re saying you can’t make time for me?”

“If you’re done with your business, would you like to go back now?”

It was a clear rejection.

The Gulf President’s face turned red and blue.

“Call my name and title.”

There was a chilling pressure that there would be repercussions.

But the White House Secretariat paid no attention.

“As you can see.”

“Can’t you even be bothered to answer?”

“good bye.”

The Gulf president turned his back, grumbling.

“I will remember today’s humiliation clearly.”

His secretary followed immediately with a puzzled look on her face.

“Mr. Chairman, if the President continues to refuse to meet with me like this… … .”

“What’s the use of the Vice President? Let’s go there.”

“Excuse me, Chairman. Actually… … .”

The secretary hesitated for a moment and then finally opened her mouth.

“I applied for a meeting with the Vice President earlier, but was flatly rejected.”

“what?”

The Gulf President opened his eyes wide and looked at his secretary.

“What is the reason?”

“I’m busy.”

“No matter how busy you are, you still do that. When I said I was coming, you called me and said you would come rushing back in a private plane even if you were on a business trip to the provinces!”

How can one’s attitude change so suddenly?

Gulf President simply could not accept this situation.

“I need to meet some Democratic Party members.”

“that is…….”

“Why? Didn’t you say you wouldn’t be able to meet me either?”

“yes.”

“I’m going crazy.”

The Gulf President clenched his teeth against the throbbing headache.

“Then let’s have some Republican senators and representatives. Give them a seat!”

“That is… … .”

“Surely even the Republican Party didn’t reject it?”

“A few members of the National Assembly were delighted, but they are not very powerful. Ahem.”

“So only the idiots responded? Are they crazy?”

“It seems like someone is working behind the scenes.”

“Use your hand? Who?”

The Gulf President’s eyes widened.

“To be honest, who would be swayed by something like that, whether someone is behind it or not?”

“… … .”

The secretary had difficulty answering.

“I am the largest shareholder and chairman of Gulf Oil! A global oil company giant who is welcomed wherever he goes!”

“… … .”

“Does it make sense that you would treat me like this!”

The Gulf Chairman noticed his secretary’s hesitation.

“You know who was moving behind you!”

“I’m not sure, but… … .”

“Who are you? I don’t care if you have doubts. Just tell me who you are!”

“That’s why I’m talking about JH Investment.”

“JH Investment? That’s a company I’ve never heard of before!”

“It’s not a company you’ve never heard of. It’s a major investment company that shook up the Japanese real estate market.”

The secretary swallowed hard.

“According to the telegram, they have acquired more than a 50% stake in Gulfsa.”

The acquisition negotiation team that was sent to sell Korea National Oil Corporation’s shares at a high price.

The telegram they sent turned the Gulf company upside down.

“Do you remember that Wall Street was once quite noisy about JH Investment? JH Investment provided a large amount of short-term loans to Japanese banks. For that reason… … .”

“I heard that the Japanese banks that owned shares in our Gulf company decided to support JH Investment?”

The Gulf president ground his teeth.

“JH Investment’s stake in Gulf? It’s only about 7% at best!”

“Still, you can say that he is a major shareholder of Gulf. In fact, JH Investment sent a summons to hold a special general meeting of Gulf… … .”

“That damn general meeting! That damn summons!”

thud!

The angry Gulf President stomped his feet hard.

“There’s still time before the extraordinary general meeting! Why do you think I’ve come to the White House and put myself through this humiliation?”

The Gulf President’s face turned cold.

“I own 17.3% of the shares!”

Compared to JH Investment, which holds less than 8%, this is more than double the stake.

“American banks own 15.5% of the shares! Together, they make 32.8%.”

“But American banks like Bank of Citi, Bank of America, and Goldman Sachs are demanding the return of principal and interest. What does this mean?”

“That’s why I came running to the White House to stop it!”

Bam!

“The bank cannot side with JH Investment while being at odds with the U.S. government. So, we must get a definitive answer from the President and Vice President by any means necessary!”

“Mr. Chairman.”

“Shouldn’t you be a strong supporter in return for taking bribes? That’s common sense!”

If there is a going, there must be a coming!

The Gulf Chairman looked back at his secretary with meaningful eyes.

“Tell them that if they don’t want the bribe ledger leaked to the press, they’ll have to see me.”

“Chairman, Chairman. If you come out like that, you’ll most likely fall out of favor with the government… … .”

“Does it matter whether I’m out of favor or not? I’m about to be kicked out of the chairman position.”

The situation is such that a motion to dismiss the CEO has already been brought up at the extraordinary general meeting of shareholders.

He was backed into a corner with no way out.

“If we can just increase the 15.5% stake held by American banks, it’s a good deal!”

The Gulf President turned around abruptly.

The way he walked, his footsteps making the ground thump, was just like an angry bull entering a bullfighting arena.

“Tell the Democrats, the Republicans, the people who took my money! If you don’t take my side, there will be a price to pay.”

“Come on, Chairman! If you keep going like that, you’ll end up with too many enemies!”

“It doesn’t matter! How long has it been since the Korai Gate broke out? If the bribery ledger is revealed, all those guys will have to take off their clothes!”

This was after US senators and representatives and high-ranking administration officials had already suffered greatly from bribery allegations in the Koreagate scandal.

The Korean government barely managed to resolve the issue by stepping in and eliminating the person who raised the issue.

But the aftereffects have not yet subsided, and American citizens still have a negative view of corrupt politicians.

“If things get that big, it will be difficult for the Chairman to escape bribery charges!”

The secretary was startled and tried to stop him.

“Haven’t the former chairman and the heads of affiliated companies already been taken to court on the same charges?”

“This is a do or die situation! Even if I die, I will never die alone!”

A smile appeared on the distorted face of the Gulf President.

It was a laughter full of malice and venom.

“I threatened to publish the bribe ledgers in USA Today, the Wall Street Journal, the Washington Post, the New York Times, the LA Times, the Chicago Tribune and the New York Daily News!”

Heh heh heh, the Gulf President’s shoulders shook at the low laughter.

“If you’ve been eating up my money like crazy, you must have been prepared for this situation. If you don’t want to see even your closest associates being cut off, you must put real pressure on the American banks!”

So the Gulf President blew his whistle.

“Tell the White House. Ask them to send the IRS (Internal Revenue Service) to JH Investment.”

There is no such thing as a company that doesn’t produce dust when you shake it off.

The whistles were mixed with joyful laughter.

“You dare to call an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders with the dismissal of Gulfsa’s management as an agenda item? You arrogant bastards!”

The Gulf president was confident.

“I’ll make sure you serve a proper prison sentence by piling on all the sins you have and don’t have.”

The Gulf President’s eyes lit up with an eerie glow.

“Fools rush in where angels fear to tread! (A puppy doesn’t know the fear of a tiger!)”

A large, hulking security chief came running out of the hallway at the end of the White House.

He was clutching a crumpled newspaper in his thick hands, covered in scars and calluses.

“We’re in trouble, Chairman!”

“What are you making such a fuss about?”

“Our Gulf Saga is on the air in the city, newspapers and broadcasts… …!”

“In the newspapers and on TV? Why?”

What is this?

The Gulf President extended his hand.

The security team leader quickly handed over the newspaper.

The Gulf news was printed in bold letters on the front page of the newspaper.

The Gulf president expressed his shock.

“No one, not even a bird, would know. Who on earth… …!”

The Gulf President’s eyes rolled back.

I made eye contact with the secretary, who was greatly embarrassed.

“Is that you?”

“no!”

“Then who is it? The vice president?”

“Well, well.”

At that moment, the security team leader took out other newspapers that were tucked behind his waist and handed them over.

The Gulf chairman snatched up the newspaper and spread it out.

87th in the World!>

thud!

The Gulf President was furious and stamped his feet again.

“Which kid struck first!”

“Mr. Chairman, how should we handle this matter immediately… … .”

“Stop it!”

The Gulf President shouted urgently with a face as if his butt was burning.

“Take down the article immediately! Block all media reports!”

“Yes, Chairman!”

“What are you doing? Can’t you run?”

The secretary and the security team leader ran out naked.

The Gulf president shouted, “Eww!” and tossed his hair wildly.

“I’m going crazy!”

It was a deep mountain.

But the Gulf President gritted his teeth and clenched his fists.

“Japanese banks!”

Japanese banks also hold a significant stake.

That’s a whopping 8.3%.

“I guess I’ll have to ask the Japanese Prime Minister and the leader of the Liberal Democratic Party.”

The Gulf President’s steps quickened.

* * *

Meanwhile, at that time, the Japanese Prime Minister, the leader of the Liberal Democratic Party, and the heads of Japanese banks that held shares in Gulf were all working together toward a common goal.

Sitting in the empty house in Jeongdongjin that had just burned down, waiting endlessly for a call.

“Isn’t it time for you to come now?”

It’s already been three days since I’ve been waiting here for my master to come.

The new owner of the Jeong family, who was said to be busy with housework, was nowhere to be seen.

“No matter how busy you are, you still ignore me like this.”

The Japanese prime minister jumped up from his folding chair.

“I’m a busy person too!”

Is it only the Japanese Prime Minister?

There isn’t a single person gathered here who isn’t busy.

They were all famous people who were known to have some influence in Japanese politics and business.

However, the Chief of Staff to the Prime Minister of Japan and the Chairman of the Japan Business Federation held the Prime Minister down on either side and made him sit back down.

“Please be patient. Losing your temper now is not the solution.”

“Why are we here? We came here to prevent Japan’s national bankruptcy!”

The Japanese Prime Minister shouted nervously, running his hands through his hair.

“Even national bankruptcy can be prevented or stopped only when someone with whom to talk appears!”

The Japanese Prime Minister felt wronged.

“I personally brought a generous bribe and offered it!”

That was when.

Squeak.

The front door of Jeong Dong-jin’s mansion opened.

It was Myeongdong Songgolmae, beautifully dressed in hanbok.

“The master is calling. Shall we go?”
