chapter 41
41 – Why are you here
“You bastard 3rd party bastards. What on earth did Jeon Hyo-min bet on to be so hard?”
Sounds of lament leaked from the VIP reception room of the headquarters building of Chosun Airport located in Gangnam-gu.
A man was sitting back in the executive chair and sighing heavily.
Kwaak-
His fists naturally tightened up as he remembered the small minnows that had just stretched out in front of him.
I barely resisted wanting to grind the top plate that vomited out onto the asphalt floor.
“Damn… !”
Bang-!
He hit the desk in anger.
The man gnashed his teeth at the gloomy reality of the present.
“Hyomin Jeon…… “
When she thinks of that damn woman, she feels her stomach melt from the stress.
She scraped together her mother and sister’s share, but it was still not enough for Jeon Hyomin.
Now, the only way left is to separate and disintegrate the three-way alliance formed around Hyomin Jeon.
Of course, judging from their attitude today, even that didn’t seem easy.
The man was stomping her feet to suppress his seething anger.
Smart-
A knock echoed in the silence.
“Come in.”
Kikki-
As soon as he stopped talking, a woman cautiously opened the door.
“Boss. I got a call from Taewoong Group’s Mr. Kim Seong-woo.”
“What? Taewoong Group?”
What kind of group is Taewoong Group?
Aren’t they the backbone of the Korean economy and the only giant in the business world?
Taewoong The two letters alone made the air in the office suddenly feel heavy.
Did he contact you directly about something?
Her man’s neck vibrated.
“You didn’t say anything about the business?”
“It was just an important matter, so I asked for a call with the boss.”
“That’s right… “
Once you receive it, you will understand.
When her man beckoned, the secretary cautiously handed over the phone and left.
“This is Jeon Tae-hyun.”
-Nice to meet you. This is Kim Seong-woo.
“What business does Mr. Kim Seong-woo have with me… ?”
-I was thinking of making a suggestion to Mr. Jeon Tae-hyun.
“A suggestion?”
A proposal.
I just tilted my head at Seongwoo Kim’s meaningful answer.
-I heard that you are losing a lot of money these days because of the dispute over management rights.
“Kuhmm… !”
Jeon Tae-hyeon openly showed signs of discomfort and coughed repeatedly.
But Kim Seong-woo didn’t care and continued to say what he had to say.
-Looking at the current situation, it seems that Jeon Tae-hyun will have a hard time overcoming the stronghold of the three-way alliance.
“…… “
-A future where Jeon Hyo-min, who doesn’t contribute to the development of the company, will only have accidents and control the Jeonhang Group. There’s nothing dark about it.
“…What is the main point?”
-I know how to turn this around.
Kwadang-!
Jeon Tae-hyeon kicked off his seat and stood up.
The executive chair bounced back and crashed into the wall with a loud bang.
“What! That way.”
-Bare mouth?
“What do you want?”
When asked what he wanted, the air went cold for an instant.
In less than a minute, Seongwoo Kim started talking.
-Hyomin Jeon.
“…?”
-I want Jeon Hyo-min’s complete downfall.
“Yes?”
Hyomin Jeon wants the downfall of her own sister.
Jeon Tae-hyeon asked with a dumbfounded face at such an absurd request.
“That crazy woman… No, why does Kim Seong-woo want the downfall of Jeon Hyo-min?”
-There is no such grandiose reason. I have a few simple personal favors.
It’s a personal favor.
I was curious, but the important thing is that Kim Seong-woo clearly asserted with his own mouth that he was on his side.
You want your sister’s downfall? That’s what he wants most.
He always vowed to trample on the crazy b*tch who treated him like a bug and looked down on him once he got his hands on the previous group.
It’s a proposal that you can’t lose even if you look here and there.
“Don’t worry about that, just tell me now. That way.”
– The game changer in this management dispute is KDB.
“Of course I know. However, how can you persuade the mountain bank, which adheres to neutrality even if you die soon?”
-What do you think is the reason for KDB rejecting the offer?
“That must be because there is no merit.”
What needs to be pointed out here is that the reason KDB is sticking to neutrality in the dispute over management rights of the Jeonhang Group does not come from any lofty beliefs.
Their neutrality is nothing more than a very calculated decision.
-Acquisition of Atin Airlines, if you make a deal with this, the Korea Development Bank will accept the offer with a high probability.
It is a large Korean airline that forms the two major mountain ranges with Atin Airlines and Chosun Airlines.
Attin Airlines, which was hit hard by the corona in its original financial situation, is in a state where it is impossible to recover.
It must be a headache from the mountain’s point of view. It is not possible to blow up the national airline like this.
“…… Certainly, if it goes that way, the justification will suffice.”
What are the industrial banks doing?
Isn’t it a government-run bank that plays the role of resuscitating a failing company with blood tax?
The KDB’s way of dealing with a bankrupt company is simple.
Lending money directly and using that as a justification, take stock and become a shareholder, or sell a failing company to a company that is willing to take over.
The airline industry is in a state of over-competition worldwide from the beginning.
That’s why there are only a handful of countries like Korea that have two large airlines.
Kim Seong-woo is now telling himself to look at a deal with Korea Development Bank, citing the takeover of Atin Airlines, which is on the verge of bankruptcy.
“However, the Jeonhang Group does not have enough capacity to acquire Atin Airlines. Above all, the industrial structure is not attractive at all… “
-Don’t talk about being full. Isn’t management right now important? I wouldn’t be in a position to cover fire.
“…… “
This is the theory.
The important thing right now is to completely destroy Jeon Hyo-min and the three-party alliance.
In the end, getting the former group in my hands is the first priority.
If it continues like this, it is certain that you will lose, and if that happens, isn’t it like doing only good things for Jeon Hyo-min?
Jeon Tae-hyun, who was determined, opened his tightly closed lips.
“……The Saneun won’t refuse, right?”
– Would you say you’re crazy and refuse?
Kim Seong-wu burst out laughing as if it was absurd.
-Whether you put money into Chosun Airlines or Atin Airlines, both are just options for ruin, but if Chosun Airlines takes over Atin Airlines, the KDB will solve the headache for a much smaller amount. In the first place, Korea Development Bank has always been like this. Rather, it is a nobleman now. There may be some burdensome parts such as shareholder rights and commercial law, but wouldn’t it be less than the burden of bankruptcy of the national airline?
“Huh… “
-Anyway, the aviation industry is gloomy and Chosun Airlines is also in an emergency situation.
Jeon Tae-hyun burst into admiration.
He couldn’t find a solution even though he and dozens of his executives gathered and shook their heads.
However, Kim Seong-woo, who had no interests, conceived all these designs by himself.
He trembled with a shudder.
-Don’t worry about the board of directors of Jeonhang Corporation.
“What is that…?”
-I will drop a nuclear bomb that will send Jeon Hyo-min’s public reputation to hell at the right time. If I fire the signal flare, Mr. Jeon Tae-hyun, use all the cards he has collected so far to get Jeon Hyo-min out of the line. After that… You know?
“hahahaha, I just need to put a spoon on the squeegee.”
This works.
Theoretically, it is a tight design.
Of course, if it goes according to Kim Seong-woo’s design, it is a clear loss for the Jeonhang Group when looking at the profit and loss.
The unattractive takeover of Atin Airlines is also not enough, so the industrial bank will not only be caught on a leash, but the corporate image will also hit the bottom.
However, as Seongwoo Kim said, he was not in a position to choose between fire and water.
It is enough to think about all these risks after holding the Jeonhang Group in one’s own hands.
-How do you like it?
It’s the devil’s whisper that I can’t bear to deny.

“Sungwoo Kim, thank you very much again. It is truly an honor to sign with Leonplay!”
“Nothing.”
I exchanged a light hug with Hiroyuki Shimizu and then said goodbye.
Finally, we have concluded an exclusive publishing contract with Ahoy for the next installment of ‘Eterna X’, ‘Eterna Z’.
It seems that all the purposes of coming to Japan have been completed. In other words, the time left until I return home is my free time.
“W… This place is such a restaurant… “
“CEO Ha Yoon-ssi says this place is famous for its delicious food!”
And my original plan to take a full rest was ruined by the staff’s insistence.
I followed the staff with weak steps.
“Aigo CEO, why are you so weak? I don’t have much energy because I usually eat too poorly.”
“6… You should eat meat… “
“Huh… hahahaha… “
Recently, the distance has become quite close, and the relationship has become like a friend without realizing it.
The title is still CEO, though.
I just burst out laughing and was led by them into a restaurant called Gourmet.
“Irasshaimase!”
As soon as I entered, the staff’s loud greeting hit my eardrum.
I was dragged helplessly and put into a seat.
As if it were a fairly famous place, there were papers engraved with the autographs of celebrities embedded in every corner of the wallpaper.
“This place is so famous for Wagyu Omakase, CEO!”
“W… I really wanted to come here… !”
I was dizzy at their tension piercing the sky.
Moreover, Yunseong Park said he was going to shoot a video to be uploaded to YouTube, so he started filming with a camera.
It’s a relief just to shoot, but thanks to Park Yoon-seong who asks all sorts of questions under the pretext of filming, I felt like I was going to lose my mind even before we started eating.
“Yunseong-ssi, be quiet for a moment.”
“Am I shy, CEO?”
“Yes, very much. Isn’t that right, Ha Yoon?”
“Cow… To be honest, I might be a bit ashamed… “
“Kim Ha-yoon, you can’t do that!!”
Fishik-
Although they have no spirit, I didn’t hate the energy of the two.
If it’s quiet, you might feel empty.
So we waited for our meal while exchanging trivial jokes.
Kikki-
The door opened and a woman with a familiar face entered the restaurant.
“…… Kim Soohyun?”
“Sungwoo Kim?”
Why are you here?
