Can You Make A Nuclear Weapons Too?

Chapter 140

“That president…”

As soon as I hung up the phone, Secretary Kim called me from behind.

At a glance, she saw another cell phone in her hand.

I think she called her because my cell phone was busy, and she’s probably an economics ministry figure.

To understand the impact we are taking from this situation.

“You are the head of the National Intelligence Service.”

But the expectation was wrong.

Why is the Director of the National Intelligence Service in this situation?

Leaving his doubts behind, he handed the phone to him, and an urgent voice is heard from the other side.

– Chairman Jin. Excuse me, but can you come into the Blue House now?

“·················ogue.”

******

Cheeky!

At the Blue House, which arrived about an hour later, Chairman Lee Young-hoon was the first to get out of the vehicle.

It looks like he got a call just like me.

Since the advance appointment had become obsolete, we looked at each other and smiled awkwardly.

“After all, Chairman Jin was also called.”

Chairman Lee Young-hoon looked around with a very nervous expression and said.

Come to think of it, unlike me, he didn’t go to the Blue House very often.

Somehow it reminded me of my old self and made me smile.

“I’m sorry to have made you walk even though you’re busy.”

As we were about to head to the conference hall, the chief of staff approached us.

He had been suffering quite a bit since morning, so there was a lot of shade on his face.

“Come on, the President is waiting for you.”

We were then guided to the annex rather than the conference hall.

Contrary to words, the president has not yet appeared.

As I drank the prepared tea to find some time to relax, Chairman Lee Young-hoon cautiously spoke to me.

“Didn’t you say you have something to discuss with me?”

“Oh, that’s… you’ll find out in a little bit. Seeing that we were called to the Blue House, the government seems to be thinking the same thing as me, so I don’t need to bring up that story first.”

“·················ogue.”

Chairman Lee Young-hoon looked at me blankly at those words.

However, when he doesn’t open his mouth again, in the end, he also takes his hand to the teacup.

[Our government has formally protested against Japan’s surprise export restrictions. They also questioned the credibility of the evidence they claimed and put forward […][It turns out that Japan’s primary export sanctioned items are essential machinery for processing. On the surface, these are illegal smuggling items they claim, but most of them affect the future food of our country. The government is analyzing the list of specific items, and on the one hand, has issued a statement that their intentions are suspicious.]

On the TV set in the waiting room, news about Japan’s sanctions was playing all day.

Perhaps it was uncomfortable just to hear it, Chairman Lee Young-hoon’s face became more and more dark.

“I got a call from the Prime Minister on the way,” he said.

Chairman Lee Young-hoon, who brought the teacup to his lips, spat out words as if passing by.

Anyway, I also got the same phone call on the way home, so I can guess what a conversation substitute is.

Without asking, he just nodded and spoke again.

“In Japan, they have secured concrete evidence and are moving.”

I was a little confused about that part too.

Unlike before the return, this time they are moving with solid evidence.

Whatever it is, it’s just evidence that we forcibly created, but from an objective point of view, it is certain that we are pushed to the defensive because the case itself is based on facts.

“Yes, I heard.”

“Isn’t it a bit strange? It’s not a ghost company, it’s exporting used machines to a processing company that exists. What’s the problem? In fact, it is China, not us, that Japan will take issue with.

In hindsight, that was also true.

From a nominal point of view, the exporter was merely selling back the surplus goods.

It was also received at a reasonable amount from the company that really needed it.

After that, if you are going to be held responsible for the fact that it passed to North Korea, it is normal that you should listen to China, as he said.

“So it’s not forced.”

“So why?”

“Why would you? In the end, they are trying to save their own industries that are eroding us by making us in trouble.”

Chairman Lee Young-hoon frowned.

It was as if he had a look that stemmed from the frustration that came the moment he became certain of his doubts.

To make the situation more clear, I added one more word.

“It is true that their attitude is absurd, but it is also true that we are being hit by this incident. In the field of weapons, batteries and semiconductors. and even the car. Ah! Come to think of it, there must have been some problems with some of the facilities required for the semiconductor process?”

“Yes, because some of the equipment needed for the factory we are currently expanding has been imported from Japan from generation to generation.”

Chairman Lee Young-hoon frowned and said.

It’s only now that I realize that this isn’t going to be an easy fix.

Apart from other things, it would have been even more ridiculous for him, who had been in a unique position against Japan.

smart!

At that moment, a knock on the door was heard, and Director Yang Tae-yong entered the room.

At first glance, the person who revealed his face behind him was Jeong Tae-min, chairman of Hyunwoo Group.

“How are you two here…”

President Young-hoon Lee, surprised by the sudden visit of unexpected people, jumped to his feet first, and I, too, took my buttocks off his chair and looked at them.

“You arrived early. I have contacted Chairman Jeong Tae-min. I think it would be better to put our heads together on this issue.”

Director Yang Tae-yong sat down with a brief explanation.

As a result, the representatives of the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd places in the hierarchy have gathered in one place.

If it was normal, the atmosphere would have been quite friendly, but perhaps because of the problems they faced, everyone’s expressions were dark.

“Currently, the construction of the new car production line for Hyeonwoo Motors to be launched next year has been completely stopped.”

The first person to speak was Taemin Jeong, chairman of the Hyunwoo Group.

Come to think of it, Hyeonu is also one of the biggest victims of this case.

The whole time he spoke, he kept his tongue out as if the Japanese government’s attitude was disgusting.

‘Ttt, it’s difficult for our companies to escape responsibility if they are right and wrong. It is true that we prefer Japanese products rather than growing Korean companies just because they are convenient and cheap.’

Considering that, I can’t escape the responsibility, but even so, it’s a bit unfair for me.

I foresaw this situation in the first place, so I’ve been growing the materials part, and I was planning to increase my investment in the machinery sector in the future.

However, Japan has advanced the case by 14 years.

I feel even worse because I was beaten without even having time to prepare.

“First of all, we will designate Siemens, Germany, as the equipment supplier. If possible, I encourage you to make that choice too.”

I immediately offered an alternative.

As if it was unexpected, Chairman Jeong Tae-yong asked with a surprised expression.

“Are you already in the yard where you don’t know how things will go?”

“It is clear how it will go. If it’s only going to be just throwing out, would they take such a sudden action like this? I assure you, this problem will last for quite some time.”

At those words, Chairman Jeong Tae-yong’s face darkened.

The reality is that Siemens’ products are about 20-30% more expensive than Fanuc’s.

In addition, considering the logistics cost and follow-up support, it would have been inevitable to hesitate as the operating profit would be greatly affected.

“Isn’t this really going to end easily?”

In the end, Chairman Jeong looked at Yang Tae-yong, Director of the National Intelligence Service, without giving up his regrets.

He also looked unsure.

I spoke again on his behalf.

“Right now, the Japanese cabinet is trying to shake up our entire industry. Will they easily back down when the cause is their own survival problem?”

“·················ogue.”

In an instant, Chairman Jeong Tae-yong’s face was distorted.

He quickly took out his cell phone and sent a text message somewhere, and then he sighed and said with a sigh.

“If that’s the case, as Chairman Jin said, we can’t just sit and wait. By the way, what happened to the trader?”

The last question was addressed to Director Yang Tae-yong.

Director Yang looked like he was worried for a while at the arrow that suddenly returned to him, and then spat out a word with an expression of regret.

“He is currently being interrogated by the National Intelligence Service, but the answer is obvious.”

“·················ogue.”

“He simply asked for the sale of used equipment from a Chinese customer’s factory and sold it. Well, since the subject of the transaction was an actual metal processing plant, there seems to be no reason for the relevant ministries on our side to take issue with it at the time.”

“It’s not a ghost company, but it was exported to a company that actually exists and is in business, so it’s hard to argue with it.”

Chairman Lee Young-hoon spat out the words with an expression of understanding.

A face that soon becomes distorted

When I look at him with a desire for something else, he sighs and says:

“Facilities are facilities, but financial sanctions are also a problem.”

“Well, for Samjong, who has been taking advantage of the low interest rates of Japanese banks, that part must be a problem. However, there must be quite a few Western banks that will lend you money if Samjeong’s credit rating is sufficient, right?”

I asked carefully.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

To be honest, I’d like to tell you to stop trembling, but that’s unreasonable.

Even if the interest rate is 0.1%, the interest burden cannot be ignored for companies that raise large borrowings such as Samjong.

Moreover, unlike other countries, Japan is a country in which it is absolutely impossible to raise interest rates.

It was true that it was advantageous in terms of stable money supply and demand, so it would have been even more disappointing for him.

“In the worst case, you will end up negotiating with other banks. Ttt, by the way, no matter how much I think about it, I don’t understand. If we stop doing business with Japanese banks right away, they will suffer huge losses, so I wonder why they are doing this.”

“Let alone that, the sanctions themselves are absurd. I can’t even understand what Japan is. I don’t know if there is a way to deal with nonsense, isn’t it really stupid to touch on a field that doesn’t? There is no way that there was not a single person in the cabinet with such judgment, and if this is the result, then the future of Japan is not clear.”

Chairman Jeong Tae-min, who was listening, helped with the complaint.

The car was silently listening to their conversation.

Suddenly, Director Yang Tae-yong looked at me and made a meaningful expression.

“Why?”

“At this point, I want to hear some opinions from Chairman Jin.”

“…well, second to me, haven’t you heard what the Blue House plans to do?”

I got the question back as a question.

Because I don’t need to reveal my thoughts before I get a clear opinion from the government.

Director Yang speaks again as if he understood the intention.

“The Blue House, first of all, is asking Japan to lift sanctions. And we are looking for alternatives to Japanese-made equipment and materials through various channels. If Jae-woo, Hyeon-woo, and Sam-do suffer from headaches, small and medium-sized businesses will do more.”

“But as my sister and sister said, they will never lift sanctions for anything.”

I commented on that part again.

I was afraid that the Blue House might not be able to properly grasp the essence of this matter.

But then, the door suddenly opened and the president entered the room.

“I know. That’s why we’re getting even more troubled.”

We stood up without anyone in the first place at the sudden appearance of the president.

After shaking hands with each person with a still-smiling smile, he promptly offered a seat and threw a word.

“So, I think it would be better if we could set a counter fire too.”

For a moment, all eyes turned to the president at once.

What surprised me the most was Director Yang Yang.

He asked the president with his chin lowered with an expression of what kind of nonsense it was all of a sudden.

“Are we going to impose sanctions?”

“This includes this. Don’t you know? We got hit with one blow, so we have to give it a shot too.”

“·················ogue.”
