98 episodes. What the hell is that?

There is a proverb that says that in a whale fight, the shrimp will burst.

I was just like that when I went to Three War Trade in the past.

A whale called the Indonesian factory of GL Electronics, a customer.

And a whale carrying Kang Sung Precision, the purchasing manager of GL Electronics headquarters.

The shrimp caught in the middle was Samjeon Trade, and in a word, it was me who was in charge.

There was once such a case.

We urgently requested parts supply from Indonesia, and the parts were dualized into Yuwon Precision and Kangseong Precision.

The situation is at a level where Yuwon Precision has stock and can respond immediately.

But, irrationally, Manager Park ordered the urgent production of Kangseong Precision parts to respond to the request.

Can’t you just place an emergency order with Kangsung Precision?

You have to listen to it and eat it.

No matter how urgent they were, they were always listening, and in Indonesia, a dunning phone call came in every hour.

Manager Park was only complaining that he couldn’t respond quickly.

In my mind, I wanted to directly contact the purchasing manager who looked after Kang Sung Precision.

‘I knew then. How fucking stupid it is to get stuck in the middle.’

and later found out

Manager Park also said that in such an emergency, I had to make Kang Sung Precision respond to score points, so I was the only one who roasted it.

He was also split between a whale named Indonesia and a whale named the head of the purchasing department at the headquarters.

‘The shrimp caught in the middle cannot dare say a word to the whale to get out of it.’

Crying would only make both whales incompetent shrimp.

It was something that had to be overcome silently to prove its usefulness.

And now.

I was no longer a shrimp, but a whale.

-Jiying. Jiying.

I knew who the caller was because he was the owner of the text message I received yesterday.

He was the general manager of Seongsam C&T’s civil engineering division.

The Louis Hill infrastructure project was eventually transferred from Bosco Construction to Seongsam C&T.

“hello?”

-Excuse me, but are you Director Jin Yu-seong?

“yes.”

-Hello, hahaha. This is Seongsam C&T Manager Do Yun-ho, whom I contacted yesterday. There was no answer, so I called.

“By the way?”

-Yes?

“If you called, tell me what you are doing.”

– Ha ha ha, this is embarrassing. Have you ever heard from Bosco?

“What do you mean? Don’t ask questions and talk about things.”

– Since this is a foreign company, you are quite straightforward.

I sighed and spoke again, emphasizing.

“Did I tell you twice? Tell me about your business. Does Seongsam C&T treat its customers like this?

-Come on, wait a minute…

drop.

Seeing him squirming gives me a sense of humor.

Perhaps, with the power of Chief of Staff Choi Soo-hyeok, he stole Bosco orders, so he must have been very happy with it.

-Jiying. Jiying.

Usually, when you have a fight, you wait for the other person to call you.

Are you sick of seeing the phone call right away?

“What?”

– It’s the first time I’m contacting you, but it seems like you’re coming out too forcefully. Once you calm down…

“Because I’m not the kind of person who’s idle enough to talk nonsense with you.”

I had to pack the luggage in my room.

-Are you saying it was because it was uncomfortable for the construction to pass from Bosco to us?

“Then, would you feel comfortable? They exchange important projects according to the tastes of Korean companies and make a fuss.”

– I’m sorry about that. But, as Mr. Jin knew, it was an irresistible matter. Our side, too, was suddenly entrusted with work from a higher level, so the situation was not clear before and after, so please relax your mind as we will have to ask Director Jin to confirm it.

“So what’s the dragon?”

– I just contacted you to say hello. It’s not something we’ll talk about over the phone, but it’s something we’ll discuss in person. I will visit you at a time convenient for you.

“Then come to Australia.”

-Yes?

“I mean, come to the head office.”

– No, weren’t you in Korea right now?

“I told you? I’m not a leisurely person. In Korea, I don’t have time to clear my schedule, so please come to Australia from there.”

about 10 seconds.

Ten seconds long passed in silence, as if it were ten minutes.

-All right. We will schedule a business trip and come to you.

The voice is very docile.

Now you’ll realize

Who is A and who is Eul.

“I’ll contact you as soon as I get back to Australia, then.”

I hung up the phone and lay flat on the bed.

“I’m really living, I’m doing all the hard work to Seong Sambu, I.”

***

one month later.

The long-awaited temporary visa was finally issued, and my family boarded a flight to Australia.

It was a direct flight with Korean Air, not the Cansay Pacific that I used for the first time.

I wanted to use Henry’s private plane, but strictly speaking, it was owned by the P&B group, so it was difficult for me to use it for personal purposes.

Anyway, I flew comfortably in business class, and when I arrived at Sydney Airport, I met unexpected people.

“Huh? You…”

“Have you been well, Mr. Jin?”

The person who came to meet me was Park Yoo-hyeon.

“What happened? Is the training over?”

“yes.”

“Hey, take it easy. What respect is that?”

“It’s a public place for work. I’m here to serve the director and his family.”

Baby, there’s some behavior and theft.

A lot has changed in a few months.

“But those friends behind you… right?”

A black man and a Thai man behind Yoohyeon.

They were Kanuta and Siracha, who worked together in Inham’s Red Zone.

“We formed a security team together. I am the team leader and two people are the captain.”

Kanuta, a mercenary from Sudan in Africa, and Shiratcha, a former Thai special forces unit.

As was the case with Inham, they exuded a sharper atmosphere, dressed as bodyguards.

“Kanuta, Siracha. Long time no see.”

“Yes, Mr. Jin. I wish you all the best in the future.”

“I have to ask you. Haha.”

After a short greeting, Yoohyeon led us to the car right away.

‘Oh, something systematic.’

As he walked, he glanced around with clairvoyance.

When I focused only on the person wearing the in-ears, they came into my view as if they were pointed, and I could tell that they were all bodyguards in formal or casual clothes.

“I’ll take you to a temporary residence for now.”

“Temporary residence? Hotel?”

“No. Sir Henry’s cottage is near Bondi Beach. We’ll take you there.”

Bondi Beach is the closest beach to downtown Sydney.

Aboriginal name means waves breaking on rocks, and the waves are so strong that it is popular with surfers.

Although it is outside the city, the infrastructure is well equipped as there are a lot of people.

“Henry? Are you at headquarters?”

“Yes. I asked you to take a good rest today and tell me that we will meet tomorrow.”

“okay.”

The limousine slid out of the airport and ran back and forth on the road surrounded by black cars that appeared to be bodyguards.

‘It feels like a chaebol cosplay as soon as I arrive in Australia…’

From limousines to bodyguards of various nationalities.

It was as if Henry had prepared it to show.

Thanks to you, I shrug my shoulders in front of my family.

“Yoosung, can I drink this?”

My sister suddenly lifted up the bottle of champagne that was stuck to one side and said,

“Oh, you can drink.”

“Oh yea.”

“Just count when you get off. Yoohyeon-ah, how much is that?”

“Eight hundred dollars.”

“Did you hear me?”

“Hey, bro. Are you really going to be rude?”

They’ve been calling me Brother ever since I came to Australia.

It’s not wrong, but it’s weird because my sister uses it.

“Are you thinking about drinking again on the plane? Have a little drink.”

My sister’s ax opened her eyes at my pin, and Yoohyeon stepped in to stop us.

“You are welcome. This tea belongs to Sir Henry. Sir Henry has told us to take care of the family without any shortage.”

“Did you hear it? I bought it like a jigsaw even though it wasn’t a jicha.”

My older sister tried to fill a glass of champagne by picking mulberry and give it to my father, mother, and me one at a time.

“Yuri.”

“Huh? Dad why?”

“Is there no soju in there?”

“No.”

After that, my mother rummaged through her handbag and pulled out a soju pack.

“Ana. You come to foreign countries to find soju.”

“I don’t like alcohol that contains carbonated drinks.”

When his father accepted the soju pack, the older sister held out the glass of champagne that he had poured for his father to Yoohyeon.

“Did you say Yoohyeon? Let’s have a drink together.”

“No. I’m at work, so I’ll decline.”

“I have a glass of champagne, how about it? There’s still a glass left, so get it soon.”

“it’s okay.”

I said to Yoohyeon, who is extremely strict.

“Just take it. You’re too drunk.”

“No. Please understand even if it makes you uncomfortable.”

“Can’t I allow it?”

“yes.”

He’s got a tight grip.

It reminds me of a time when I went to Tranus’ house for nothing.

At that time, with my permission, he immediately untied the reins and started playing.

“Just drink two cups, sister.”

“I guess so. It’s not polite to keep recommending people you don’t like.”

Then, he takes a one-shot with the cup in his left hand.

“Hey, it’s expensive, so it’s really delicious.”

So we arrived at a pool villa located on the cliff side next to Bondi Beach.

Once inside, the scenery was a work of art.

‘Wow, that’s no joke.’

As one side of the cliff was all made of glass, the vast sea was spread out.

It’s like stepping into Tony Stark’s house from the Iron Man movie.

“Hey, my brother said he was doing well in Australia, so it was true.

My sister looked around and giggled.

“Son, is it really okay to live in a place like this? It looks like an expensive house…”

The father looked around with a worried face and blurted his words.

Are you worried about the cost of accommodation?

“It’s okay, so take it easy. Yoohyeon-ah, can I stay until I find a house?”

“Of course. Sir Henry asked me to tell you that he would give it as a gift if he liked it.”

At that, my mother stepped forward and waved her hand.

“Hey, a house like this isn’t even worth a penny or two, so why don’t you get it because it’s a burden?”

Just saying so, he glances here and there with heart-filled eyes.

‘You like it…’

I’ll look around the real estate later and if I don’t like anything, I think I’ll pay Henry to buy it here.

But how much do you want this place to be?

***

next day.

I headed to the P&B tower early in the morning.

“Did you get rid of your addiction?”

Henry greeted me with a happy face.

“Yes, thanks.”

“If I had come by private plane, my family would have been more comfortable, but please don’t be stubborn in the future.”

“It was okay because it was business class. And thanks to the care, my family is resting comfortably. Oh, my parents asked me to say thank you.”

“You’ve come a long way, but you have to do that. Heh heh.”

Henry continued with a cup of coffee.

“How was your trip to Korea?”

“We made a deal with Bosco. We also raised an additional $3 billion in investment.”

“Hey, did you even get the investment? That’s good news.”

“And speaking of infrastructure construction…”

I also explained how the construction went from Bosco to Seongsam C&T and how it happened.

“The government intervened… Maybe it was Lao Tinto or other mining companies?”

“I’m sure they don’t know yet. It’s a matter of other things.”

“Anything else?”

The answer to Henry’s question was long.

It was because I had to explain the resource diplomacy project that the Korean government was preparing.

“Hmm, the government is leading the resource development…”

“what do you think?”

“There’s one thing I don’t understand.”

“Please speak.”

“Have I told you about the Norwegian sovereign wealth fund before?”

“Yeah, that’s what Henry ultimately wants to achieve.”

“Do you know why other countries haven’t succeeded in that?”

“Why are you talking about that all of a sudden?”

Henry said as he put down his cup of coffee.

“The reason is that the problems with the resource development project of the Korean government coincide.”

huh? What the hell is that?
