Chapter 327 – Part 2. 1993

Seongjin sat at her desk and reviewed the first half materials uploaded by the planning team, while she smiled faintly.
It was a pretty satisfactory result.

After 1993, even if it is not possible, more than 400 billion won will be generated.
At least 50% of them belonged to Sungjin.

It was a bit disappointing that the recent Incheon Expressway construction project at Mirae Construction had gone over the water, but instead, I was able to properly fuck Chairman Jang Gun-ho while buying shares of Jangsung Electronics, so I felt good.

While Seong-jin was diligently looking at the documents and setting the direction for each company in the future, the phone suddenly rang.

“Yes. I am Seongjin Lee.”

The caller was none other than the senior secretary for political affairs at the Blue House.

“Yes? The president wants to meet me?”

Seongjin’s voice couldn’t help but grow louder at the words of the chief political officer.
Suddenly, at this point, the president’s call…

However, Seong-jin soon got a rough idea of ​​why the president wanted to meet him.
It must be because of the national school lunches that he sent a while ago.

Seong-jin made an appointment to go to the Blue House tomorrow and hung up the phone.

Sungjin’s head began to roll smoothly again.

I thought that if I did well, I could open a big business that could not be compared to the Incheon Expressway.
And before the shareholders event, I thought I could give Chairman Jang Kun-ho a small jab.

Seong-jin opened Hangeul on his computer and started writing down the specific business plan that came to his mind.

It was the moment when Sung-jin’s company took a step forward.

The next day, when it was time for the appointment, Seong-jin drove to the Blue House.

“No, but why did you make the appointment so late?”

It was now close to 5 o’clock.
Normally, if it was an important matter, he would call me in the morning or ask to see me before or after lunch at the latest, but strangely, this time he made an appointment at 5 pm.

After arriving at the Blue House, Sung-Jin was guided by his staff into the main building of the Blue House.

In the lobby of the building, the chief political officer and, surprisingly, Kim So-young were out.

As Seongjin approached, both of them smiled brightly and greeted her Seongjin.
Laughter seemed to have different meanings, but…

Following the two of them into one place, not only President Kim Hyun-sam was there, but a lot of people I didn’t know were sitting there.

“Ohh~ Seongjin-kun, come here. It’s the first time I saw you at the last business luncheon, right?”

“Hello, how are you? Mr. President. Yes. Long time no see.”

Sungjin responded with a smile to President Kim Hyun-sam’s positive hospitality, and was soon introduced to the people in the room.

There were other chiefs of the Blue House, and there were also secretaries.
In addition to the Prime Minister, there were also Ministers of Education and Ministers of Agriculture and Forestry.
The Minister of Education seemed puzzled as to why he had been called to Lee.

Seong-jin was just puzzled as to what the hell had happened that so many high-ranking government officials had gathered together.

After the introduction, everyone sat down, and the Chief Secretary for Political Affairs spoke up.

“Today, this is a place where we gathered to prepare countermeasures against the opposition of farmers that will arise when agricultural products are opened due to the conclusion of the Uruguay Round.”

As expected by Sungjin, it was also a place to discuss ways to preferentially purchase agricultural products produced in each region and use them for school lunches.

Following the brief opening remarks by the senior secretary for political affairs, President Kim Hyun-sam looked around to ask if anyone had a good opinion.

People said all sorts of things, from saying that illegal gatherings should be fundamentally blocked by mobilizing public power, to saying that the opening of rice must be blocked unconditionally.

President Kim Hyun-sam listened quietly.

A violent storm passed, and without anyone’s order, the hall became quiet in an instant.
Of course, it happened because the president didn’t say anything.

Then, President Kim Hyun-sam looked at his chief political affairs officer and nodded his head, and the chief political officer began handing out thin brochures that had been lying on the floor.

People immediately flipped through the cover and started reading.
It was a document given by the president, but there was no way it could be passed on carelessly.

People read all the documents and showed various reactions, such as surprised faces and confused faces.
The Minister of Education was the face that realized that he had only attended this meeting because of school lunch problems.

“What you are seeing right now is the method proposed by Seongjin Lee here. How is everyone? Isn’t it amazing? I really wonder why you guys can’t come up with this idea.
There is a way to win the hearts of farmers, revive the local economy, create jobs, and raise awareness of the government. Why don’t you guys think of this? Let’s all reflect and do things right. Yes?”

People bowed their heads and responded with difficulty to President Kim Hyun-sam’s screams.

“Sungjin-kun, now explain to the people here about school lunches.”

Seong-jin began to explain the school meal system he had envisioned.
He explained everything he had prepared, including regional plans and connections with rural areas.
Of course, except for the important things that should only be done with the president.

After the explanation was over, questions poured in here and there.
The fact that there are a lot of questions means that I understood it properly and drew a picture in my head.
Judging from the reaction, there seemed to be no major problem with the implementation of school lunches next year.

“Are you saying you want to make school lunches free?”

“That’s the way you guys have to come up with now. Whether for free or for a fee…”

As expected, the most sensitive money issue came up.
Everyone knows that school lunches are a good way to go, but there will be a lot of worries about how to raise funds.

Of course there is a way.
And because of that method, Seong-jin made his way to the Blue House today.

But it wasn’t something to be released here.
Because? It is because it will kill the Jangseong Group in one shot.

The meeting ended with only a handful of burdens on the people.

The location was moved, and only President Kim Hyun-sam, senior secretary for political affairs, and Seong-jin sat separately.
After a while, Kim So-young came in with her car smiling brightly.

Kim So-young was still sophisticated and beautiful enough to attract people’s attention.
When Kim So-young and her eyes met, Seong-jin also automatically smiled at the corners of his lips.

“Whoop whoop. Seongjin-gun seems to like our So-young.”

“Yes yes? That… It’s not like that…”

When Seongjin was taken aback, Soyeong Kim also quickly left her room, blushing at her.

“As I said last time, I hope the two of you are doing well. It’s never coercive though. If young people meet and like it, it’s good, and if they don’t get along, they can break up. For now, don’t feel pressure and let’s meet… Haha.”

It was President Kim Hyun-sam who still could not give up his greed for Seongjin.

“Okay. What do you mean you can finance school lunches?”

It was President Kim Hyun-sam, who immediately changed his eyes and went to the main point.

“The announcement of the real-name financial system by the President was really great. People all liked it.”

President Kim Hyun-sam nodded and smiled, as if he was happy with Seongjin’s praise.
How painstakingly did you prepare? It was a policy prepared by carrying out an espionage operation to secretly return to the hotel while pretending to leave for a foreign country to maintain secrecy.

I don’t know how it is for people with money, but the reaction of the people was like deterioration.
So these days, President Kim Hyun-sam was in a very good mood.

“But everyone in business is in a state of panic. You probably won’t be crazy about returning the borrowed-name property by now. You never know when gratitude will strike.”

A slight smile tugged at the corners of President Kim Hyun-sam’s lips.
He was already preparing to hit the corporations in a big way.

He was President Kim Hyeon-sam, who had been threatening businessmen from the time he was elected that he would not let them go if they committed corruption.
However, now that the number of cases has been properly caught, it was only natural that companies would be terrified.

“Mr. President, as a business owner myself, it will be difficult for me to work if I am too tight. Moreover, it is even more so when the President is focusing on exports.”

Seong-jin didn’t even look at the president to see if there was a corner to believe in, and threw a stone fastball at all.

“What? So, are you saying that I should make a compromise with the corporations? If that’s the case, then why would I have to carry out such a blitz as if it were a covert operation? We have to change the rotten things that came down from the military regime. Otherwise, the country is hopeless.”

President Kim Hyun-sam immediately hardened his face and spoke in an abstract manner.

“I am not suggesting that the President compromise. Now that you’ve got your hands on the report of the former family, I’m telling you to wield it properly. Through this real-name financial system, the school meal budget problem can be solved at once.”

Both President Kim Hyun-sam and senior secretary for political affairs rolled their eyes.

“For the real-name financial system, none of the companies would have been properly prepared. Because everyone hoped. However, it was eventually implemented, and now companies are forced to take notice of the government.
The President calls on the presidents of the corporations. That’s why they receive funds from companies under the pretext of investigating borrowed-name accounts. And you can use that money to pay for school lunches.”

President Kim Hyun-sam and senior secretary for political affairs are the ninth political ranks.
The two of them understood at once what Seongjin was saying and made a look of admiration.

“We, HK Group, are also planning to make a large-scale investment in school meals this time. We plan to establish a separate welfare foundation to build meal facilities for schools and provide meals close to cost.
The government only needs to show condescension properly through the participation of companies.
If it is possible, if the budget is properly organized and school meals are supported, perhaps free meals may be possible.”

Seong-jin explained to the two in more detail how to induce participation from companies.

Companies have to pay an enormous amount of money to the government, whether it is fines or taxes, if their assets are discovered anyway.
1, 20 billion won is ridiculous, and even if it is not possible, there will be cases where you have to pay 100 billion units to the country.

However, if companies voluntarily jump into school lunches like this, they can support the economy while constructing meal facilities and earn profits while operating food service companies.
In addition, airlifting of agricultural and fishery products from each assigned area can alleviate farmers’ protests caused by the Uruguay Round to some extent.

Airlifting of local agricultural and fishery products is a way to expand not only to schools but also to military bases.

“You are right. If you do that, you will be able to cover the short budget.”

President Kim Hyun-sam liked it as he patted him on the knee.

“President, if you leave it to each company autonomously, corruption and corruption may occur again, so how about taking this opportunity to create an institution under the Ministry of Health and Welfare or the Ministry of Education to collect funds? So, as Seongjin-gun said, we are again giving allocations to companies. The construction of catering facilities is also allocated, and the operation of school cafeterias is also allocated.”

Senior Secretary for Political Affairs came up with a better idea.

“Ah~ It would be better to do as the chief said. Our HK Group also had a plan to appear in 100 billion won.”

“Hoho~ 100 billion?”

At Seongjin’s words, President Kim Hyun-sam looked at Seongjin with a smile as if he was admirable.

However, Seongjin already had her calculations in her head.
If Mirae Construction won the order for the construction of school meal facilities and Kim Hee-kyung Food newly established and operated a school meal service company, the money could be extracted again.

Without knowing what Seong-jin was thinking, many stories came and went after that.
She even mentioned that Sungjin became the major shareholder of Jangseong Electronics.

Quite a bit of time has passed.

“Okay, let’s do this for today. Seongjin-gun also worked hard. I hope that you will continue to be of great help to me and the government in the future.”

President Kim Hyun-sam took Seong-jin’s hand and patted her on the back.

After a while, Kim So-young suddenly entered with a smile.
The chief political officer smiled as if he knew, and she greeted President Kim Hyun-sam and went outside.

“Soyoung. Seongjin-gun worked hard today. You should go with me and have a good dinner.”

Seongjin looked at President Kim Hyun-sam with a dumbfounded face for a moment.
President Kim Hyun-sam’s smirk was nothing special.

“Yes. All right. Grandfather.”

It seemed that Kim So-young deliberately called President Kim Hyun-sam her grandfather.
Kim So-young looked at Seong-jin with a smirk as good as that of President Kim Hyun-sam.
