Chapter 194

The first question that came to mind was, what is the reason?

What is unfortunate about Boeing, which is bisecting the global civil aircraft market with Airbus.

Of course, with the leap of Airbus. And even though the competition was being pushed back by the retirement of skilled engineers around this time.

At that moment, Adam, who had just put down his coffee cup, opened his mouth again.

[To be honest, Boeing is currently in a lot of trouble in the logistics sector. It is because Nokid has taken over the next integrated fighter business following the next provided fighter business. Of course, with the help of the U.S. Department of Defense, the F-15 is still alive and well, but if the Department of Defense really makes such a decision…

He glanced at me the whole time he spoke.

Eyes expressing the frustration that comes from not being able to spit out something.

Even more strange was the reaction of Liam, who was sitting next to him, who was suddenly beckoning Adam with a look of surprise.

[Anyway, for Boeing, we are covering the deficit in the military sector with the profits we get from the commercial aircraft market. But what would happen if Jaewoo jumped into that market?]

Adam started the game at Liam’s gaze as he stared at him and quickly changed his words.

It feels like something I don’t know is happening in America.

But right now, it wasn’t important, so I didn’t care.

[Isn’t that an overkill? The commercial aircraft market is also a highly technology-intensive sector. But what kind of power will Jae-woo, who is just entering the market, make it difficult for Boeing?][That statement is not wrong, but the fact that there is another competitor is a threat anyway. And Boeing’s current military deficit is more serious than you think. If five years pass like this, the company itself could collapse.]

From what I’ve heard, it seems that Boeing’s condition is more serious than I thought.

Well, even before the return. Because of the accumulated deficit, there was a time when I asked the government for a financial aid amounting to 60 trillion won.

Is that the result of a day or two of accumulated difficulties?

‘Hmm······.’

Moreover, contrary to history, I was told that the US government did little to preserve the development costs invested by Boeing in this integrated fighter project as well as in the supply fighter business.

Of course, it took a little breather by touting about 100 F-15s in Japan, but how long will it last?

Considering their situation of having to maintain almost several times the number of manpower and facilities compared to KAI, it was probably at the level of peeing in frozen feet.

[But if we set up a joint venture, that wouldn’t be a way to save Boeing’s military division? In a situation where the corporation is strictly separate.]

What was questionable was that.

If Jaewoo and Boeing establish a joint venture to manufacture civil aircraft, it will be a separate company from the existing Boeing.

If that’s the case, wouldn’t it be a way to save the governor?

That doesn’t mean they can support the surplus from the company I co-founded at will.

[Of course it is.]

Adam nodded calmly.

As my eyes narrowed at the growing question, something flashed in my mind.

[Is it the intention to save only the commercial aircraft market?]

Adam’s eyes fluttered violently at the hinted words.

It’s not exactly why, but that doesn’t mean it’s wrong either.

He let out a long sigh and continued with detailed explanations.

[To be honest, the intention to save the children to be saved is correct. This does not mean that we are going to give up on the military sector as it is, but it is a kind of means to pressure the government.][··········.][If the civil aviation sector in the current Boeing becomes a joint venture with Jaewoo and is separated, the logistics sector, which has been cut off from support, will only last two years. In that case, the US fighter market will be solidified with Nokid’s monopoly system, and the government cannot tolerate it.][I guess so. The thing the United States is most wary of is a monopoly.][Yes. If you do, the government will no longer be able to delay the support that has been lurking for profit in the commercial aircraft market.]

Only then did I understand Adam’s intentions.

In a word, that’s it.

He was going to put a knife to my neck and bring the government into negotiations.

If true, this is a very clever tool.

However, since I am also in a position to lead a business, I cannot criticize it.

[But will the US government allow it? Establishing a joint venture with Jaewoo.][The government does not have to worry.]

The answer came from Liam.

Perhaps there was prior sympathy between the two, he continued with a calm expression.

[After all, the government is not in a position to be overly involved in the commercial aircraft market. In addition, if it is a country or business that goes against the interests of the United States, there is no problem if the joint venture party is sleeping. No, if you are Jaewoo, who is giving enormous help to the U.S. government, we would rather welcome it with open arms.][Hmm······.][Another thing, the government has no reason to oppose even more in the case of the companies that Chairman Jin is investing in and the companies he directly established in the United States.][What else are you talking about?][Tesla. Even there, the founder is only Chairman Jin, but it can be said that it is an American company. Hani, Boeing is no different.]

Those words made sense.

“Hmm······.”

Now it’s my turn to make a decision.

The market size is tens of trillions of dollars per year.

And the technical benefits that come with it.

There was no harm in considering the number of cases, or rather, it was a situation where only profit was given to me, so the answer came out right away.

[good. We will see if it is possible to divert funds from investors in the United States through CEO Ryan soon.]

Adam’s expression brightened at those words.

It was as if he had seen a Dong-a rope falling from a car that was out of breath.

But when he saw that expression, he suddenly wondered what he was talking about while hesitating.

[By the way, what did you say? The one who foretold the Ministry of National Defense…][Yeah?]

Adam was very confused by the sudden question.

While hesitating, Liam comes out again this time.

[Let’s not discuss that issue as it has not been decided yet.][··········.]

Just by looking at his face, it was clear that it was related to me.

However, since he had such a resolute expression on his face, he couldn’t dare to ask any more questions.

Liam opened his mouth again, as if trying to change the subject.

[By the way, securing a charging site for Tesla. Rumor has it that Jaewoo Investment Company is collecting huge amounts of real estate, is there any reason to talk with the government in that field?][In the case of a general charging site, there is no problem. However, wouldn’t it be necessary to have a dialogue to have infrastructure on sites owned by the government and local governments, such as roads and parks?][If that’s a problem, what can I do to solve it on my own?]

Liam replied as if nothing special.

Under these circumstances, he would no longer have to spend time meeting US government officials.

Perhaps thanks to this, the uneasiness that had stirred in my head for a while disappears in an instant.

Well, whatever they’re hiding, if it really has anything to do with me, someday I’ll find out.

[The two of you seem to have something to say separately, so I will leave.]

Noticing that the story was going to be long, Adam got up from his seat, using the time as an excuse.

Liam doesn’t bother to disappoint.

[We will send working staff soon.]

I also needed time alone with Liam, so I hurriedly saw him off, and now only Liam and my party were left in the spacious Sky Lounge.

[Okay, let’s talk a little deeper now, shall we?]

Liam smiled and looked at me as I sat down, shivering.

His eyes seemed to know what was going to come out of my mouth.

Whoops.

Now he raises his hand and bites it around him as if he is ready to have a full-fledged conversation.

[If you are curious about the news of terrorism directed at me, just as you heard. About a week ago, it actually happened.][Let’s be specific.][I was on my way home from work. While I was driving on Route 3, two trucks hit my car.][Hey, I have a similar experience. But it’s a bit surprising.][What do you mean?][It means that they attempted terrorism using trucks in the United States, where guns abound.][Literally, he wanted to pretend to be an accident. If a person my size was attacked by a gun, things would be bigger than I thought. By the way, I think I should say thank you to Chairman Jin. If it hadn’t been for the bulletproof vehicle you sent me before, I wouldn’t have been able to do it this far.][··········.][That point is also acknowledged by our bodyguards. If it had been the bulletproof car I was riding in before, I would not have been able to survive in a situation where two of those big trucks collided.]

As I listened, I laughed out loud.

Actually, it wasn’t me who sent the bulletproof vehicle, it was Kim Young-gi.

At the time when a partnership was established between Liam and I.

as a kind of surname.

At the time, I wondered if it was even necessary, but now that I see it, it seems like it was a godsend.

[By the way, who is the culprit?][I don’t know that either.]

At that point, absurdity swelled.

No, does it make sense that something like Liam can’t find out who’s behind the culprit?

Liam continued speaking as if he understood his expression.

[Are there one or two people who are after me? Neocons and even fake Jewish forces within the Democratic Party.][A fake Jewish force?][Those who pretend to be Jews, but have pedigree problems. Those who are busy only taking care of their greed. I’m calling them fake Jews.][Low way to go… After all, they are, why are the neo-cons of the Republican Party aiming for the president? ………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… Anyway, strictly speaking, the president is also a person closer to the Republican Party.]

I asked, not understanding.

Perhaps I was misunderstanding something, a fishy smile formed on Liam’s face.

[Even though there are aspects in common with them, in the end, I am an existence that cannot be mixed with them. No, even though they fear me outwardly, they are not welcomed by all political forces in this country. Unfortunately, that is the current address of the shadow of this country.][··········.]

For a moment, I thought that I might be in a similar situation to him.

Politically, he did not belong to either side, but rather a gray existence.

It makes sense to be neutral, and it’s true that you’re being attacked by both sides, and that’s why it’s hard to keep the position.

[Damn, after saying that, somehow I feel sorry for myself.][··········.]

As the thought continued, he suddenly showed a sense of self-doubt.

He somehow didn’t fit in with the person he knew until now.

Had he sensed it himself, he immediately shook his head, revealing the weakness that had been exposed for a while.

[Whatever it is, it doesn’t matter. That’s because it’s their habit to bow your head at the decisive moment.][That’s the logic of power.]

I frowned, trying to lighten the mood.

Liam smiled for a moment, then turned again with a serious expression.

[Anyway, the culprit is still being investigated. In the meantime, Chairman Jin flew to the United States, so I was worried. So it would have been a little burdensome for other people to look at it, but I had no choice but to be overprotective.][This action was taken with me in mind, so it is something to be thankful for.]

I waved my hand at him to express his regret.

Liam got up from his seat for a moment and headed straight to the bar, and held out a bottle of wine to me.

[Because it is in front of Chairman Jin, I will be a little honest. In fact, it is not that I am not very afraid.](Read more @ wuxiax.com)

[··········.][Because there has never been a time in my life where I have not been able to find out who was trying to harm me.]

Somehow he seemed to understand.



Is there anything more chilling than knowing the background of a being who has ruled as an absolute for the rest of his life when someone threatens him and doesn’t know what’s behind it? . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Then, Liam frowned again and continued.

[But there are those who can guess.][Who are you?][China.][··········.][Or maybe some groups in the United States who have joined hands with China.][Is that possible?][There is no reason why it is impossible. There is no other country where money is as good as the United States. Moreover, from China’s point of view, I want to kill them right away. Who else has drawn a sword against them as openly as me?]

Perhaps it was a remark with the intention of excluding China from Russia’s gas field development project.

No, it is not necessarily true, but it is safe to say that there is no one who understands and is vigilant about China as well as Liam at this time.

[What are you going to do now?][But, if I was going to bend my will, I didn’t even start. Even if I die, I don’t see an immature country like China seizing power.]

That was the same with me.

There is nothing more unfortunate than the hegemony of those who are immersed in the uncivilized Chinese ideology.

Well, I have no intention of defending American hegemony.

It’s just that it’s not revealed, and it’s true that their hegemony also has many problems.

[The problem is the president of this country, and he seems to have a different opinion.][··········.][Like I said before, I feel like I haven’t broken my fantasy of China? No, I’m really concerned, but I guess I don’t want to get blood on my hands.]

In my mind, I wanted to write a whole story in front of him.

During his long tenure, how relaxed China has been and has strengthened its internal stability.

It doesn’t matter whether that was a mistake or not, but as a result, I wanted to tell you an objective fact about how complicated international relations have become.

But still, that’s a bummer.

While he was only fiddling with the glass of wine, he spit out a meaningful tone.

[But you know that? If we leave China as it is, in the not-too-distant future, the U.S. could face a really serious threat.][··········.]

The feeling conveyed in the way of speaking was somehow strange.

Somehow, I don’t feel like I’m talking about a case where the hegemony of the United States is threatened simply because of China’s growth.

I stare at him, and he opens his mouth again.

[In the meantime, if China completes energy self-reliance, it will be accelerated, but the problem is that energy self-reliance may become realistically possible.][··········.]
