This Is How I Became a Chaebol - Chapter 589

CS handed me a Bill of Lading, saying that he had arrived loaded with fabric…

He handed over a loan approval document worth 200 million dollars to that confident figure.

For a hero who solved the national debt in one fell swoop, he was so young and easygoing. Even Nancy couldn’t help but fall in love with CS… Oh, was it McFadden who fell in love first? In the end, it was Peggy who was the one destined to be.

“Coolook, coolook.”

“General, are you feeling better?”

When did you fall asleep?

The general, who had been lost in his dreams for a while, opened his eyes with difficulty due to a cough that burst out.

“Everyone… stayed in their seats the whole time?”

General Van Fleet looked worried as he looked back at Chairman Rockefeller, Nancy, and General Gothel.

The patient is worried about the healthy ones.

“Don’t worry about anything, you’re not busy. Just think about your body. You should shake it off and get up.”

“Ahem, I guess this time it won’t be easy.”

“General, that’s what I told you. I told you that you shouldn’t even think about flying to Korea, and that you should just call. At your age, you’ve been on an airplane for so long!”

While Chairman Rockefeller simply closed and opened his eyes repeatedly with an indifferent expression, Nancy shed tears and scolded the general.

“Nancy, a soldier should always be at the front line. To me, the front line is where CS is.”

“General, you can’t stay at home like this. We need to move you to a large hospital immediately.”

General Gothel looked ready to move the entire bed at any moment.

With the wealth and connections of the five Kkwinyeon members, any hospital in America would give you a VIP room right away.

“… No, that’s okay. I like my home. This disease can be cured by a doctor… Gulp! Gulp!”

“Godel is right. Just lie down. Get him to where the best doctors are, real quick!”

Nancy felt like she was going to die from frustration.

We couldn’t afford to lose General Van Fleet, known for his strong bones, to something like pneumonia.

No matter how old I was, I felt like I could shake it off and get up in a matter of days if I were admitted to Johns Hopkins Hospital.

“Okay, calm down… I have something important to discuss with the General before CS arrives. Would you mind leaving for a moment?”

“Mr. Rockefeller!”

“Why are you even acting like that, Chairman! CS, you can just go to the hospital and get checked out.”

“Please, it is also a request of the general.”

“Haa… This is crazy. Everyone is crazy! Do whatever you want!”

Nancy swallowed her tears and went outside.

This was because he knew very well that Chairman Rockefeller was the executor of General Van Fleet’s will.

“Godel…”

“Yes, General.”

“Do you still misunderstand… why I sent you to Vietnam?”

“Of course not. It was the luckiest thing in my life. At first, I thought I was being hired by a merchant who was just rolling around, but CS was not a merchant.”

“Then, go back… and guard the bitch… kuluck.”

“Whew… It’s okay. There’s no one who can threaten my position anymore.”

“Go back, you… are where you belong. That’s my last piece of advice to you…”

“… I am ordered to return to the fold by the Honorable General James Allward Van Fleet. Loyalty!!”

“Loyalty… Seong…”

Gothel held back what she wanted to say, then turned around and left the room.

A sharp salute was sufficient for a farewell between soldiers.

With that salute, Gothel would have buried General Van Fleet in her heart.

“General, would you mind leaving the Korea Society in Nancy’s hands? You have a daughter and a grown grandson, don’t you?”

Chairman Rockefeller took a long breath and then began to ask questions. He was a friend beyond his years and was fulfilling his duty as executor of the will.

“The Texas ranch and the Quyen Hotel are enough for the family. Nancy is the one who will lead the Korea Society properly. She will do well.”

Nancy was an old friend of General Van Fleet and a politician who knew Korea well.

He was the most suitable person to make the best use of people from all walks of life who had connections with the Korea Society.

“Whew, I understand.”

“CS has BR shares… and the telecommunications and semiconductor shares that I invested in… Knock knock! Knock knock!”

“General!! This won’t do. Doctor!”

As soon as he started coughing and spewing blood, he got up from his seat.

“… It’s okay… It’s okay, so sit down. Knock knock! Knock knock!”

“warlord!!”

“Rockefeller… please…”

General Van Fleet held Chairman Rockefeller’s hand and would not let go.

It was hard to believe that the patient was coughing so hard that he felt like he was going to stop breathing.

They say there is a time when a person’s mind and body briefly return just before they die, but is now that time?

Rockefeller sat down, his mind growing increasingly anxious. Realistically, even if he were transferred to the hospital now, it would be impossible for him to get out of bed again.

“Okay, I’ll tell my son-in-law… everything…”

“You won’t take it easy, will you? You can hand them over one by one whenever you need them. I trust you.”

“Haa… General, why do you love my son-in-law so much? Even more than your own blood relatives…”

“Most of the money I made was CS’s. It should go back to the original owner… The company shares would be more helpful to CS than the Kkwini Hotel… Kook… Keuk…”

“Stop talking. I understand.”

Rockefeller wiped the pus from the corner of the general’s mouth with a handkerchief and supported the general’s pillow.

‘Isn’t it true that Korea, where my son gave his life, should become a country with that much meaning?’

Rockefeller said with his eyes.

It was a conversation that couldn’t be expressed in words.

‘I guess so… I guess so. But, I only became sure of that after meeting CS.’

Van Fleet answered with a faint smile.

At first, I did my best to find a politician who could lead Korea and support him.

Then, by chance, I came across CS and began to doubt that method.

I ended up changing my course because I thought that a businessman like CS, rather than a politician, would be more suitable to bring about the liberal democracy my son had hoped for in Korea.

Looking at Korea, which has surpassed the status of a middle-income country and reached the threshold of a developed country in just 20 years, I can see that my choice was not wrong.

Click,

“General.”

“Oh, CS!”

Look, he always shows up at crucial moments.

Always timely.

Always moving as if looking into the future.

***

“General.”

“Oh, CS!”

As soon as I entered the room, I grabbed the general’s hand.

The color had already drained from his face, and he could no longer feel the warmth from the hands he was holding. His hands, which were rustling like sheets of paper, were losing their vitality by the second.

General Gothel leaves the mansion with a stern expression, saying he’ll see you at the barn, while Nancy is leaning against the wall and sobbing.

The end is near.

‘Thank you, God.’

I started with a prayer of thanksgiving, something I had never done before since I was born. I knew that if I had not been able to watch over this person until the end, I would have regretted it for the rest of my life.

“Let’s talk, son-in-law.”

“Master, craftsman…”

“We’ve already talked a lot. The rest is up to you, son-in-law.”

The craftsman tapped my shoulder and quietly closed the door.

“You came a long way to see an old man like me. Thank you. Cool.”

“Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.”

I had nothing to say but thank you through my tears. Without this gentleman’s help, I would never have been this successful.

“What are you so grateful for? I didn’t do much for you. All I did was make you work for me.”

“That’s not possible. Didn’t you provide the Vietnam issue, foreign debt repayment, and the first customer for the shipyard?”

I know.

I am telling you that General Van Fleet had repeatedly suggested to Libanus, the Greek shipping magnate, that I should build a ship.

“How… how did you know that?”

“What kind of crazy person would entrust a shipbuilding project to a novice who doesn’t even have a shipyard? As I got older, I finally realized that it was possible because the hero of the Greek Civil War stepped forward.”

“As expected, CS knows everything. I have a wish… Will you grant it?”

“Tell me anything… Father.”

“Heh heh heh…”

At my words, the general moved his hand with difficulty and patted my head.

In this world, he was my true father.

“You’ve come a long way and come back. So, are you happy?”

“Yes, I was happy. The time I spent with my father… I was happy with all of it.”

“There are many people around you now. Never lose them.”

“Yes, I will keep that in mind.”

“And… please. Be happy… and be happy again.”

“Yes, father.”

“Yeah… I was… happy…”

Bam,

“Eww, ahhhhh…”

I cried out loud.

It was sadder than the moment I died.

The giant tree that gave everything without reserve can no longer bloom or provide shade.

And so an era came to an end.

***

At the end of August 1998,

TV was abuzz every day with North Korea’s launch of the Daepodong missile. Not only Japan, but even the United States was shocked and made a fuss as if war would break out at any moment.

In the 21st century, this happens so often that it is treated as a passing news story.

However, at this moment, it could not be anything but a great windfall for South Korea.

“Are you fully prepared for filming?”

“Yes, Mr. President. Well, let’s begin.”

“i look forward to.”

President Roh held my hand with a nervous expression.

I looked at our staff.

On such days, the employees puffed out their chests as if to tell us not to worry.

Indeed, there were no problems at all even after dozens of test runs. The time has come to put an end to the long, 7-year development period.

“Final tests are being conducted before delivering the nuclear submarine to the Republic of Korea Navy. All in position!”

There are already naval personnel on board the submarine, and our engineers will be watching their operations next to it.

“Conduct diving depth test, fill the water!”

“Target depth 50 meters!”

In an instant, the submarine disappeared beneath the surface.

Diving 50 meters is a piece of cake for a nuclear submarine.

It’s just the right depth for launching SLBMs.

“Check the vertical launch tube pressure!”

The pressure was rising nicely.

Temperatures will also rise close to 1000 degrees.

No problem, our technology is perfect.

“Mr. President, please give the order together.”

“great!”

“Launch the SLBM!”

“SLBM launch!”

Beep~

I held President Roh’s hand and pressed the launch button. It was a symbolic button that only sent a beeping sound to the submarine, but it was a signal that the Republic of Korea’s defense power was world-class.

WHACK! BAM!!! Ss …

“Eeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!”

“Viva!!!!”

“Long live the Republic of Korea!!”

Cheers erupted from the temporary naval operations room set up in Donghae Port.

The SLBM broke through the water’s surface with great precision, flinched for a moment, and then flew high into the sky in a beautiful trajectory.

Although it was only flying towards a virtual target in the open sea, it was a million times more sophisticated and high-level than North Korea’s let-anything launch.

Cheers erupted from the submarine.

It was the sixth successful SLBM launch in the world, following the United States, the Soviet Union, China, the United Kingdom, and France.

“I hereby declare that the first nuclear submarine of the Republic of Korea, the Ahn Jung-geun, has now been delivered to the Republic of Korea Navy.”

It is unprecedented in the world to claim that the launch of an SLBM is a preliminary test for delivering a nuclear submarine to the Navy.

“Is the Ahn Jung-geun connection established?”

The TV broadcast call followed immediately.

“It is truly amazing that the SLBM was able to hit its target so accurately despite adverse weather conditions.”

“It is reliable. Our people can go about their business with confidence in the Republic of Korea Navy.”

“Victory!”

“Waaaaaaaaaah!”

“Long live the Republic of Korea!!!”

As soon as President Roh finished his phone call, three cheers followed, without anyone saying anything first.

Originally, it was a difficult time in history, whether to escape the IMF or not, but now a wonderful party has been held.

South Korea was no longer a country that would be divided by provocations from North Korea.

“Chairman Woo, shouldn’t you have also revealed the aircraft carrier?”

The President invited them for a pleasant chat, smoking a cigarette soaked in celebratory champagne.

“The Kim family above will soon come up with a reason. This time, wouldn’t everyone be surprised if we just get to this point?”

“Hahaha! Of course. Of course.”

Perhaps the five members of the Quyen Party… no, the four members of the Quyen Party will also be busy using this incident to reestablish the balance of power in Northeast Asia.

Whether it’s China or Russia, they will outwardly protest to South Korea, but in reality, they will extend a helping hand.

We must not turn Korea into an enemy.

I wish General Van Fleet had seen this scene too.

“Then I will return to Sejong City.”

“Oh, there’s a computer competition today?”

“Yes, it’s the President’s Cup, so I’ll go in his place.”

“Hahaha! Thanks for your hard work. I think I need to spend some more time here.”

Of course, it is a day when both the Navy and the developers should be praised to their heart’s content.

***

Sejong City, Geumgang Citizens’ Gymnasium.

“The 7th President’s Cup National Personal Computer Competition”

Groan, groan,

“Aaaah, I’m screwed! It’s all gone!”

“Ask me! Ask me for my program! Aaaah.”

“Who the hell took down the toad house!”

In normal years, this would be a festival-like event with a fancy atmosphere and all kinds of home appliances given out as gifts, but today it was a complete mess.

“What happened?”

“That… That… The air raid siren blared in the city, and the security guard in charge turned off all the power. This is… Oh my…”

It looks like emergency sirens sounded across the country during the SLBM launch test.

It’s the best way to advertise to the public by reporting the news on TV, but it’s turned the competition into a mess.

“Tell the contestants to turn back today and hold the contest again in three days. We will urgently re-create the contest issue. Oh, and don’t forget to give everyone a proper souvenir.”

“Yes, Chairman.”

If our developers step up, we can recreate the student competition problems in one day and the general competition problems in three days.

It was a bit of a problem that the souvenirs had to be handed out twice, but it was okay to think of it as a celebration of the delivery of the nuclear submarine.

‘Oh my, the 90s are the 90s. This kind of thing happening, it’s not even funny.’

“Huh? The 90s?”

As I was leaving the venue, I heard someone mumbling to himself.

No, it was more like he was telling me to listen than talking to himself.

As I was looking around, my eyes met with a young man. He was clearly not a high school student, but he looked young for an average person.

“Hey, student.”

“Oh, aren’t you Chairman Woo? Hello.”

A student or a young man bowed to me.

“Can I talk to you?”

“Oh, it’s a carrot. It’s the glory of the family.”

It was as if he was advertising that he had come from the 21st century.

“Let me introduce myself formally, I am Woo Chan-soo.”

“I’m Yoo Soo-han. I’m still a job seeker.”

“Where did you go to school?”

“I graduated from the Department of Electronic Engineering at Changwon National University of Technology. It was really hard to get in, but today I feel like I am being rewarded for it. I can’t believe I got to meet the father of the country like this.”

“A graduate of Changwon National University of Technology, and an electronic engineering major at that, is a job seeker… No, rather than a job seeker, he’s a job seeker. In this day and age, that term doesn’t even exist.”

“As expected, Your Majesty… is a regressor.”

“How far have you seen?”

“I even saw that the father was feeling sorry. He said that he didn’t have much talent in the IT business.”

“ha ha ha.”

I couldn’t help but laugh.

It seems like heaven loves the Republic of Korea.

You’re sending the regressor back.

Is it time to pass the baton?

Yeah, after 30 years, I’ve done enough.

“I guess I’ve been successful in heavy industry, huh?”

“Of course, sir. He is a legend as a great businessman who has achieved the title of world-class automobile manufacturer and world factory while also solving the side effects of environmental problems and skyrocketing real estate prices. Of course, he made good first steps in semiconductors and communications…”

“So, did Suhan decide to pursue a career in IT?”

“Yes, fortunately, I am meeting His Majesty now.”

“Can I just put it in Daese Foundry?”

“Yes, the development team is good, but if possible, put me in the product planning team. I need to hurry up with the MP3.”

The young man was really bold.

I guess I bet on myself as a regressor and approached it boldly.

“Recruitment is no problem. But…”

“Don’t worry. I’ll focus more on Daesae Foundry and start small ventures in return.”

It seems that he is trying to gain experience in this era by joining Daese Foundry, make colleagues, and start a venture business.

“What is your ultimate goal?”

“I want to go beyond being a conglomerate and become a nobleman.”

“You’re a noble… how cool.”

Yeah, noblesse oblige isn’t exclusive to the West.

It is time for aristocracy to appear in Korea.

“I feel embarrassed to have shown myself in front of you, my father. But I promise you. I will complete the goals you have failed to achieve in IT.”

He looked confident.

Suddenly, I remembered the cigarettes I had quit.

Did General Van Fleet feel this way too?

“Did you say it was Yoo Soo-han? Take it.”

“Is this a business card?”

“It’s a special business card. If you take this to the head office, they’ll transfer you some Intel stock. Maybe 4%?”

“Huh? Give me your Intel shares?”

“You gave me retirement, so I owe you something in return.”

“Uh… uh…”

The guy who had been acting quite confident until now was flustered and couldn’t even answer.

I patted that guy’s head.

“Please come to work at the Daesefoundry product planning team in a week. The reason is that you are the grand prize winner in the general division of this competition.”

“No problem!”

Now that I’ve given him a weapon, it’s up to his abilities to determine what he can accomplish.

If you do well, you might even meet her at her exclusive party.

‘There’s no need to calculate anymore… Let’s just watch leisurely. Okay.’

Beep, beep.

Just then I got a call from Peggy.

“Yeah, it’s me.”

“I am in Sejong because I have more important matters to attend to.”

“I just finished that. Peggy, didn’t you say you wanted to go on a cruise before?”

It’s finally time to set off on a world tour with Peggy.

My steps back home were light.
