Investor That Can See The Future

Chapter 404

At one time, the Parents’ Union, along with groups such as the Mother Volunteer Corps and the Salvation Army Association, were called the Red Guards of the regime and raged.

Protests were held all over the country, and those who criticized the government were severely punished.

But that’s all a thing of the past.

It was revealed that the National Intelligence Service and the FKI, etc. had paid money to conduct a control demonstration, the leadership was arrested, and the members scattered.

Since then, the government has changed, and President Park Si-hyeong, who can be said to be a spiritual leader and a lamp of the heart, is arrested, and the parents’ union has virtually disintegrated.

However, some forces remained and continued the lonely struggle.

A tent has been set up in Gwanghwamun Square for over a month, claiming the release of President Park Si-hyeong, arrest after a strong earthquake, and resignation of the government, and a campaign to sign 10 million people.

The Seoul Metropolitan Government sent a notice saying that if they do not voluntarily dismantle it, they will carry out forced demolition and claim the cost of demolition, but the Parents’ Union has made a determination not to back down.

They continued illegal protests and signature campaigns in front of the tent.

“Release President Park Si-hyeong, the most honest president ever!”

“Impeach President Huh Chang-min!”

“Arrest the North Korean redneck Kang Jin-hoo!”

Most people were walking down the street pretending they didn’t see it, but a young man passing by said something.

“What kind of redneck is so friendly with the President of the United States?”

Everyone knows that Kang Jin-hoo is best friends with President Ronald. Thanks to Jin-hoo Kang, the relationship between the US and Korea was unprecedented. But that didn’t matter.

Hearing this, the old man in a battle hat shouted loudly.

“Gorgeous young man shouting at me!”

The elderly people around them rushed in and shouted at each other.

“President Ronald and all Americans are being deceived by him!”

“Well then. How many times have you been deceived by rednecks?”

“A two-sided tactic? I feel like I haven’t even been to the military!”

It was a surprising logic that the person who made the most money in the world from capitalism spreads communism.

The young man who spoke up fled as if to run away, but the old men continued talking.

“The whole world is a lie these days. The media can’t even believe it.”

“Everything that appears in the media is fake news created by the government, and only what the A-Tube genuine channels say is real! But people don’t know what they see only in the news and newspapers.”

“I looked at the A-tube channel that said it was the god of training, and they heard that the money after Kang Jin-ho was flowing into the North Korean nuclear development fund.”

“Ah! I mentioned that on Gyujin Jang’s channel too! They say they are using all that money for the unification of red goods, what the hell is the NIS doing?”

“Ah, what is it? They’re all in one go!”

“If a nuclear missile hits Seoul, everyone will die.”

“Ttttttt, everyone regret not listening to us back then, it’s no use.”

The person who is financing the nuclear development lives in Seoul where nuclear missiles are expected to fly, but… … This, too, was not very important.

In any case, the North Korean gang makes good money, is friendly with the US, and meets with heads of state from all over the world. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

What does this mean?

It meant that the whole world was being deceived except for themselves!

That is why they are working hard to spread the truth by setting up a tent in Gwanghwamun Square, resisting the pressure of the city of Seoul, and protesting in this sweltering heat.

However, contrary to their efforts, Jinhoo Kang still performed well. In a nutshell, would the new president of the association lament that even if the regime could be overthrown, it would be difficult for Kang Jin-hoo?

It would not be an exaggeration to say that 99% of the reason why the Parents’ Union fell like this was because of Kang Jin-hoo.

Now, if there is one simple wish, only Kang Jin-hoo’s restraint. If that doesn’t work, I’d like to see him at least kneel down and pray.

With that in mind, today, I am having an illegal demonstration without permission, but another protester has appeared in Gwanghwamun Square.

They tied their headbands tight and picked up signs saying, “Give me back Saemangeum, a clean area,” “Stop destroying the Saemangeum environment,” “What do you mean by the reckless development of civil engineering works?” and “Apologize to the people after Kang Jin-hoo.”

Saemangeum is the biggest topic in Korea for a few days.

After Kang Jin-hoo brought up the Saemangeum development plan, people called self-proclaimed experts appeared in the media every day and expressed their opinions about the possibility of the Saemangeum new town’s success. In general, the prevailing opinion was that as long as Kang Jin-hoo took the lead, it would be successful.

But that was the problem.

None of the homeowners want their house prices to fall. As a result, landlords in Seoul and the metropolitan area expressed great concern.

However, among them, multi-family dwellers with dozens of houses in the metropolitan area and speculators who bought land in the planned development area were particularly angry.

After Kang Jin-hoo announced the development plan, housing transactions in the metropolitan area were completely stopped. Although some landlords offered a slightly lower price, the deal did not come easily.

Housing has a greater downward rigidity than other investment products. Right now, the price did not drop significantly because the seller and the buyer are playing a game, but when the development becomes a reality, the collapse was as obvious as fire.

At least the house price had to endure, and the land price of the planned development site, which had skyrocketed as it was known that the new town development would fail, was cut in half. Still, no one wanted to buy it.

Those who were in danger of losing all their fortunes protested in front of OTK Company, but Jinhoo Kang did not pretend to listen, and eventually came out to Gwanghwamun Square like this.

That doesn’t mean you can’t ask them to pay off the speculative money, so they put an environmental problem first. In fact, there was no environment left to destroy Saemangeum, but… … It wasn’t important.

The enemy of the enemy is a friend, and even if the destination is different, if the direction is the same, it can become a companion. From the standpoint of the Parents’ Union, who were fighting a lonely struggle, it felt like they had won thousands and thousands.

At some point, the two factions held hand in hand and held a demonstration together.

“Arrest Kang Jin-hoo!”

“Stop developing Saemangeum!”

The Parents’ Union was no longer lonely.

* * *

There were pros and cons over the development of Saemangeum, and fierce protests took place.

While the Taegeukgi was fluttering in Gwanghwamun Square, I meticulously looked at the materials related to the National Assembly members received from Taek-gyu and Lim Jin-yong.

I crossed my arms and pondered.

“How would you like to grasp the concept of the hearing?”

“Can’t we just do it like you?”

“What is me?”

Taek-gyu seemed to think for a moment, then he said.

“Isn’t it cheap?”

“What, you bastard?”

“Just do it like last time. Let’s save a meme that will remain in the history of the constitution. That makes the emoticon business.”

“… … .”

Don’t do emoticons with someone else’s picture.

As I was busy preparing for this and that, the day suddenly dawned.

I hurried to get ready early in the morning to go to the Yeouido National Assembly. Ellie wore her tie every week, touched my hair and kissed me lightly.

“It’s great today. Women will see it and fall for it.”

I laughed bitterly.

“Is it possible?”

Taek-gyu patted my shoulder with both hands.

“Don’t be burdened.”

“No burden at all.”

“Just keep in mind that the future of Saemangeum depends on you.”

“… … .”

Ah, a burden that was not suddenly there is about to arise.

* * *

Economic hearings have begun.

If someone asks me what a hearing is, I want to answer that it is the aesthetics of waiting.

On the news, it looks like it’s very speedy and exciting when only shouting and refuting scenes are selected and sent out for at least 10 minutes, but in reality, most of the waiting time is spent.

There are times when the questioner and the respondent change, a break in between, and a meal when the time is right. I sat in the back and watched the hearing.

My turn is the last. Isn’t the original protagonist the last to appear?

Lee Eung-gwan, head of the Blue House’s policy office, who sat in front of the lawmakers before me, was breaking up with excitement.

Members of the Liberal National Party have been thoroughly prepared. Every time he asked a question, he brought out various data and statistics to investigate the economic situation of the government.

Although the high-tech industry was doing well and the GDP per capita exceeded $30,000, the economy felt by the people showed no sign of improvement.

The most serious is real estate and household debt.

Real estate prices in the metropolitan area have recorded an all-time high rate of increase since the current government took office. No matter how much the former government and speculators use excuses, this can only be seen as a policy failure.

“The economic indicators are not bad. Exports centering on semiconductors and batteries are also showing strong growth, and exports of steel and materials continue to increase due to the California restoration project.”

Rep. Min-wook Jung then said as if yelling.

“The game that ordinary people feel right now is the worst. The employment rate is falling and the unemployment rate is rising. The government says that if you keep waiting it will get better, like someone with Ripley Syndrome.”

Ripley’s Syndrome is the belief that one’s lies are real.

In fact, the government’s position is not understandable. The economy is driven by psychology. If the government says the economy is going to get worse in the future, the people will immediately cut back on consumption, and then the really serious situation will arise. So, no matter how bad the economy is, I have no choice but to say that it will get better.

Lee Eung-kwan, head of the policy department, said as if making excuses.

“Although we are working hard, we acknowledge that there are parts that do not meet the public’s expectations. As pointed out by several lawmakers, we will continue to monitor the economic situation and review more detailed support for the vulnerable.”

While the Liberal National Party lawmakers shouted and held accountable, the New Politics Party lawmakers shielded themselves as much as possible as if they were lawyers defending the accused in a criminal court.

Crayfish are on the side, and the ruling party is on the side of the Blue House.

Opposition lawmakers rebuke and criticize, excuses and rebuttals for this, encouragement and warm words from ruling party lawmakers, pointing and shouting between opposition lawmakers, etc.

Everyone seems to be trying hard to get the parts that will appear on the news somehow.

Meanwhile, it was lunch time. Half a day had passed since I waited for my turn.

“… … .”

If that’s the case, call in the afternoon, or have a busy person sit down and what are you doing?

After lunch, the head of the policy office and the deputy prime minister for economy were beaten with excitement again. It’s almost embarrassing to watch.

Both of them got up after their souls were stolen, and it was finally my turn.

I took a seat in the middle prepared. The legislators sitting in front looked at me with the eyes of a hawk looking for prey. Just by looking at your eyes, you can tell how long everyone has been waiting for this moment.

The first person to step forward was Kim Chan-wook, a member of the Liberty Korea Party.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

“Is it true that I asked the government to divide the Saemangeum district into a city?”

“That’s right.”

“What is the intention of ignoring the already established administrative districts and separating only the Saemangeum region?”

“Because I think that side is more efficient in proceeding with development.”

Rep. Chan-wook Kim raised his voice as if he had been waiting.

“This is taking the land of the municipality and disrespecting the locals! Is it possible to divide and merge administrative districts according to the convenience of the company?”

I replied calmly.

“What else can’t be? In Sejong alone, didn’t the land of Yeongi-gun, Gongju-si, and Cheongwon-gun to be made into poetry?”

“Ah, anyway, this is a matter of holding a referendum and asking for the opinions of the residents!”

Even if we do a referendum, we are confident enough to win. Even from the local government’s point of view, it would be better for the development to proceed quickly, even if the land was removed, rather than not being developed at all.

The problem is time. I’m already busy, so when will the referendum be held?

I said without embarrassment.

“I understand that Changwon City, your local district, integrated Masan and Jinhae without a referendum. According to your words, did Changwon City rob the land of Masan and Jinhae and ignore the opinions of the residents of Masan and Jinhae?”

Rep. Chanwook Kim was bewildered at my words.

“Wow, what do you mean? Is it like this?”

“Then what is the difference?”

Rep. Chan-wook Kim said with a smirk.

“Since the unified Changwon City was launched, Changwon City is developing further! The population is also steadily increasing, and last year, it was selected as the number one happy and livable city.”

Where the hell do you do that kind of survey? Did you do a survey of civil servants in Changwon City?

“As the councilor said, it has developed further after becoming the unified Changwon City, so it will be the same in Saemangeum City.”

“Then why are you making it into a poem? If you are going to do it, just do it!”

I looked at the faces of the MPs who were seated. Not all members of the New Politics Party are in favor, and not all members of the Liberal National Party are against it.

Each member of the House of Representatives will be bouncing the abacus diligently in their minds according to their own calculation methods. The most important thing in that calculation is the votes of the constituency voters.

You don’t have to turn everyone into an enemy. If you convince the generals of the opposing camp, you can increase your allies and weaken the enemy’s power.

I said with a smile.

“Changwon is a city with a very developed manufacturing industry. Like Changwon, Saemangeum is located in the southern part. The role of Changwon’s outstanding manufacturing factories is essential in developing Saemangeum into a high-tech industrial city. In other words, Changwon is the most important partner in the development of the southern coastal region. OTK Company plans to actively cooperate and develop together by linking Saemangeum and Changwon.”

Then, Rep. Chan-wook Kim, who was raising his blood, suddenly lowered his voice like a gentle sheep.

“Ah… … Ok? You have a plan.”
