The stock of Dokgo Commerce, which I bought in three days, was only worth 10 billion won. Originally, I was going to buy 30 billion won, but I couldn’t reach it because the transaction volume was not high.

‘The transaction volume is not as high as expected.’

It would have been difficult to trade even 1 billion a day as it was originally. However, when articles about the suspicion of Dokgo Commerce began to appear along with favorable articles about Daehan Market, the trading volume increased.

When it went down to 8,500 once in the middle, the stock was pouring out and if I hadn’t picked it up, I almost couldn’t have invested even 10 billion.

‘It’s not easy to collect shares.’

Dokgo Commerce’s largest shareholder proudly named the best product. With a 4.8% stake.

‘Not bad.’

It would be better to collect more, but in order to do that, you had to raise the price to buy it. I didn’t want to raise Dokgo Commerce’s stock price, so I decided to stop here.

‘Since the stake held in overseas corporations is 14%, if the voting rights are combined, 19% will come out.’

It would be better if he secured a majority of the shares, but there was no way Dokgo Group would let that happen. So, for now, I decided to be content with this.

Even if you don’t buy it yourself, you’ll have to recruit people who will give you strength.

‘Are Ji-hoon and Benjamin doing well?’

At the first meeting, I opened my face and bought a meal. He said it was a strategy to break the other person’s heart by giving them a little debt.

Hearing that he was the representative of the best company, the other party would have thought that he was a person who came to ask for favors. So, I was able to eat without any burden.

It was not unusual for the majority shareholder to meet with the executives of the company. Because their opinions are related to their assets.

However, it was clear that Dokgo Group would be wary of Choi Ji-hoon if rumors spread about corruption.

It was his job to recruit as many executives as possible before Dokgo noticed.

To do that, I made friends with many people before becoming a major shareholder. It must have been a little bit of a debt that I received comfortably thinking that I was a person who came to ask for a favor.

At least it would have been enough to hear the story over the phone.

‘There are so many bad things, so I’ll be able to catch one of them.’

The Dokgo family has increased their wealth in various ways, such as giving work to affiliates and signing exclusive contracts with companies they have built under borrowed names.

Even if you think about it within the range that ordinary people can predict, there will be a lot more corruption inside.

It was clear that he was holding on because only those involved knew the details. So, if even one person involved could be seduced, it was an easy win.

And I had no doubt that Benjamin would show up with at least one piece of evidence. Although it was a short period of time, the performance he showed exceeded my expectations.

‘Should I be punished now?’

***

Choi Ji-hoon and Benjamin picked out high-end suits at a tailor shop. Kim Jae-gu said that it was good to buy a custom-made suit, but it took a long time to make, so he bought a ready-made suit that fits well.

Choi Ji-hoon kept fiddling with the suit, which cost more than 1 million won, as if it was burdensome.

“I don’t know if I can wear such an expensive suit.”

“If you are the representative of the best product, this much is not enough.”

“hahahaha···.”

The amount invested in Dokgo Commerce alone exceeded 10 billion. And it was nothing but new blood compared to the assets of the best property.

Now, Choi Ji-hoon had to become a representative with the appropriate dignity. If I hadn’t attended a speech academy, I might have collapsed because of the tension.

‘The important thing is confidence.’

He meditated on the instructor’s words in his mind.

“Can I do better?”

“You did quite well last time too. If you don’t know, keep your mouth shut and frown. I’ll take care of it.”

“I’m glad you’re here, Benjamin.”

Even the thought of going to meet executives by himself was far away. I read books on golf, automobiles, and mountain climbing to prepare myself, but it was not easy to talk with them with superficial knowledge.

In contrast, Benjamin caught the conversation like flowing water. It was even respectful.

The two returned to the office.

A phone call was enough to contact people who had already turned their faces. Since I have a debt of heart, I won’t answer the door even on the phone.

“Now what should I do?”

“You can learn by watching what I do.”

Benjamin was claiming to be Choi Ji-hoon’s secretary, so there was no sense of incongruity in answering the phone. He started making phone calls to each executive he had met.

{hello.}

“This is the secretary of the representative of the best production company. Did you go home well over the weekend?”

{Thanks to you, I went in well.}

“I don’t know if the food was good to your mouth.”

{It was very tasty.}

Make sure to read from noble mtl com

Just reminding them of the expensive rice they bought last time will make the other person’s mouth water. If the other person wanted a carrot and didn’t let go of the phone, it was time to wield the whip.

“I contacted you because I heard a strange rumor about Dokgo Commerce.”

{Strange rumors?}

“There were rumors of corruption.”

First, he leaked words as if he was aware of corruption that could lead to breach of trust. don’t say what That way, the other person can let their imagination run wild.

“This time, our CEO invested a lot of money in Dokgo Commerce, and I don’t know if it will be okay. As a major shareholder, if there is a problem with the company, the loss is enormous.”

By emphasizing the major shareholder, the position of this side was announced. If the other person has an idea, I’ll check if Benjamin’s words are true.

“I contacted you to see if you knew anything.”

After this, the strategy was changed according to the opponent’s attitude. People who seemed to have a corner to hide something or who showed signs of fear were marked separately.

Based on the contents of the memo, the importance was classified. Then, in order of importance, I contacted them and set up a meal schedule. There were few people who refused because we had a better restaurant than last time.

Some of his aides noticed and stepped out, but it was more like proving that they were cheating.

‘If I was going to refuse, I would have refused from the beginning.’

There were people who refused to meet from the beginning. He must be the owner of a personality like a wall window that does not accept requests from outsiders. If justice was on this side, it wouldn’t be difficult to convince someone of that character.

Looking at the meticulously written note, Benjamin stroked his chin.

Dok-go-jeong’s mistake was that she had recently cut Song-woong. Some executives began to worry about their safety when they saw that the person who was covering up their corruption was framed and cut off.

“I need to get more military funds from the boss.”

***

‘Things are going well.’

The money to invest in Hugo Evans’ lithium business has been approved. There was a contract written in advance, so the money was transferred according to the schedule.

I didn’t even ask, but Hugo Evans wrote the receipt first and emailed it to me. I decided to receive the original when I went to the United States.

‘Because I can’t lose it.’

Choi Ji-hoon and Benjamin’s work progressed smoothly, and Seo Kang-jae also contacted me.

It was a call that came five days after the blue team arrived.

{president. How are you?}

“Yes. How has Seo Kang-jae been?”

{Sure. I’m calling to tell you that this situation has been sorted out.}

“Is anyone hurt?”

{It was more boring than I thought. No gun.}

According to him, he split the group in half to prepare for the possibility that the other person might have a firearm.

“How did you do it?”

{Since they smoked tear gas, tears and runny nose came out. There was no one wearing a gas mask.}

“Is everyone alive?”

Could it be that he didn’t kill him?

{Absolutely. Since they are bad guys, I had a hard time stopping the guy who asked if it was OK to kill them.}

I could see why Ricardo Gibson had told me not to meet him in person.

{Then, boss. What should I do? Would you like to interrogate yourself? Or should I pull the information out from here?}

“Please leave it to Mr. Han Seong-min.”

It was Han Sung-min who had to work tirelessly to clear my name. I didn’t know how to interrogate, and I didn’t know what condition a prisoner had to stand before a court. So I thought it would be better for Han Seong-min to deal with it himself.

{All right. What about the blue team? There are still two weeks left before the contract period.}

“I’ll find a lodging for you, so tell me to take a break.”

Even if they were tough people, they had the ability, so there was nothing wrong with treating them well. Seo Kang-jae asked in a bright voice.

{Can I take a break too?}

It reminded me of yesterday that Ha-yeon was looking for Uncle Kang-jae.

“I paid you a special allowance, so you want to rest?”

{Suddenly, I want to work.}

“hahahaha. Just kidding. Let’s talk about it after helping Sungmin Han.”

{Yes. president.}

I don’t know what would have happened after more than two years, but if I could find the whereabouts of 1.5 billion, it was only a matter of time before I could clear my name.

***

Seo Kang-jae hung up the phone and returned to the warehouse.

In the warehouse, there were two targets, Han Seong-min, and 7 blue team members. Allies wore sunglasses and masks to hide their identities.

“Release this!!!”

The two rocked their chairs back and forth and protested violently. Han Sung-min crossed his arms and approached me.

“I heard you’re an expert in money laundering.”

“Resolve this!!”

“Have you ever laundered 1.5 billion embezzled money from Kangmyeong Corporation?”

“hurry!”

Han Sung-min asked a few more questions, but the two showed no sign of answering. Seeing Han Seong-min persistently trying to talk, Seo Kang-jae tapped Maria on the shoulder.

Maria was famous for her cleverness among the blue team.

“(Why?)”

“(Help me get them to open their mouths.)”

“(Why? Help me?)”

“(Yeah. And after the interrogation, I heard the rest of the time is vacation.)”

There was no request to even interrogate, but shouldn’t we finish the job we were entrusted with? It was a job that I got permission from Kim Jae-gu, so it was perfect to use as a carrot.

“(Should have said that sooner!)”

Maria bent her neck and approached them.

One of them whistled.

“You can’t do it with threats, so you’re going to use the beauty world?”

But Maria couldn’t understand what he was saying. Because she didn’t know Korean at all.

I just didn’t like the sarcastic look.

puck! Before Han Sung-min could stop her, Maria’s hand slapped him on the side of the head. A trickle of blood flowed from his ear.

“uh?”

“What? Did you hit it now?”

The guy next to him shook his chair more vigorously than the one hit. Maria went up to him and raised her hand.

“Wait.”

Han Seong-min grabbed her wrist.

“What are you doing?”

“(You ask for help, so you help me. Why are you like this?)”

“(Who asked for help?)”

Seongmin Han, noticing that Maria could not speak Korean, responded in English.

“(No. Obviously…)”

Maria’s eyes turned to Seo Kang-jae. He was wearing sunglasses and a mask, but it was obvious he was smiling as he lowered his head and shrugged his shoulders.

“(That bastard is real.)”

“(In Korea, you shouldn’t treat people carelessly.)”

“(It’s the same in America.)”

Maria shook Han Sung-min’s hand.

“(But it won’t blow as long as I don’t die. Even if I blow and get caught, I have friends who will take revenge.)”

She pointed to the members of the blue team.

“I… I think I can’t hear in one ear.”

The man hit by Maria tilted his head in the opposite direction. Red blood dripped onto the floor. The man next to him rocked his chair back and forth and began to go mad.

“These lunatics!! What are they doing! Aren’t they going to solve it?”

“(It’s noisy. Shall we continue what we’re doing?)”

The man’s madness intensified as Maria raised her hand and approached him.

“Aagh!! The police are catching people!!!”

puck! Maria hit him hard on the head. It didn’t burst thanks to hitting the eardrum, but it fell and hit the floor with its chin.

“Awkwardly…”

“(What are you doing now?)”

“(What are you really doing?)”

“(The interrogation must be done legally.)”

“(It’s already illegal since tear gas was thrown. Is it legal to tie you to a chair?)”

“(···.)”

“(Ask me what you need. I’ll beat you until you answer.)”

Han Seong-min was speechless when he saw Maria rolling up her arms wildly. As she lifted the fallen man up, he screamed.

“Don’t you know that you guys are coercively investigating and that everyone takes off their clothes when you tell the court? If you let them go now, they won’t make a big problem.”

Seo Kang-jae laughed.

“We’re not cops. They’re illegal immigrants.”

“what?”

Then the man’s eyes were filled with fear. Seo Kang-jae looked down at the man with dry eyes.

“Looks like you’re ready to talk.”
