Chapter 1762 – [Everyone Has Taboos]

The reporters were stunned and taken aback by the shocking and unbelievable confession, but soon the quick-witted reporters looked around and were able to indirectly figure out that it was true.

This is because not only the president in the VIP room, but also the heads of large corporations were quietly listening to the interview as if it was something they already knew.

People like that will not deceive or deceive without any reason, so in the end, only the truth remains. After the shock had subsided to some extent, Shion spoke again and talked about it.

“Currently, the estimated cost of unification is 2 trillion won, which is far from enough, so it is a project that requires investing more money. According to my calculations, it is estimated that about 6 trillion won will be needed to ensure unification. And that amount will be invested in Korea. If the government tries to bear the burden, the economy will collapse to the extent that the IMF era was a thing of the past.”

“Uh…”

“I lent the South Korean government the funds needed for unification. Since I plan to take decades to get it back anyway, I lent it on better terms than any other organization or other country, so the South Korean government can develop North Korea and socialize and educate North Koreans without any other worries. It is being implemented.”

Not only is development needed, but care for North Korean residents who have become unemployed is also needed. The income gap was enormous, and although not all, half of the population in Korea was virtually unemployed.

For things like food, education, and other things, you need money. And without Zion, the burden on each citizen would have increased.

“The reason why prices are stable and taxes are the same as in peacetime even in the face of the huge task of unification of the Republic of Korea is because I loaned out a lot of money. If I hadn’t done that, you would have been struggling with increased taxes and rising prices.”

“…”

“Even though I lent such a large amount of money, I did not particularly exercise my power as a creditor or anything like that. The unification project was something that had to be led by the government. I only intended to act as a supplier and not intervene in any way, but… This incident of poor construction occurred.”

To Zion, architecture and construction are considered as important as virtue. As much as I am passionate about cooking, Zion is passionate about architecture.

However, they were unable to cross the line that should not be crossed for Zion, and ended up tee-bagging on it. Sion probably felt the same anger as seeing the guy playing with my food there.

“Personally, I am very interested in architecture and construction. No, I am not so interested. Just like my husband is passionate about cooking, I am passionate about architecture. In the meantime, I honestly get angry when I see people using their own money to do shoddy construction work. I couldn’t stand it because it was so stretched out.”

They did that shit with other people’s money, not theirs, so it’s cheap even if you look around. Anyway, even if I hadn’t come forward, Zion would have driven them into financial ruin and committed suicide, so the result would have been no different. The only difference is the time and effort put in.

“But please remember. In this case, I only killed people in cases where there was a possibility of death due to poor construction. Also, I filtered out innocent people and forgave innocent accidents. Punishment. The only ones who did it be those who led the shoddy construction. Imagine how many people died or were injured in this country because of shoddy construction? Imagine if the apartment where your family lived was destroyed like that.”

Human greed is endless, and we repeat the same mistakes.

If you have made a mistake in the past, learning is reflecting on it so that you do not make the same mistake again. But these people have no intention of changing.

“The Seongsu Bridge collapsed, and the Sampoong Department Store collapsed. There was also the Sea Land Training Center incident, where a fire spread significantly due to poor construction that did not follow building codes. There were also numerous other incidents where casualties occurred due to poor construction. How long do you plan to leave it at that?”

“…”

“My husband said that. Humans are, to put it mildly, invincible creatures. I deeply agree with this. So, I will take this opportunity to make it clear. If a problem arises again due to poor construction, all parties concerned We will hold you accountable, and we will not punish you by law. Do you understand that if you build a place where people live, you will be ruined?”

With those words, Zion looked around the press conference room and had a question time with reporters. Because the issue was so big and there were prominent people around, no one asked questions right away.

Still, after some silence, there was a reporter who carefully asked a question. Instead, he seemed quite nervous as he was trying to see what I was thinking.

“Then do you have any questions?”

“Um… Well, that is.”

“Please speak comfortably. What is your question?”

“Well, even if it was a shoddy construction project, is there a need to go to the extent of murder? What do you think?”

“Would you listen to me to put it mildly? So far, there have been casualties due to poor construction, and the government has just moved on without even thinking about increasing related laws or punishments. And as time goes by, people eventually forget, and the reason they don’t forget is because of the victims and If that’s the case, shouldn’t we be able to prevent future disasters by making sure that the bereaved families are not forgotten?”

“Then… I wonder what Emperor Hung thinks about that.”

Huh, me?

Oh, because I’m the one carrying out the work. To be honest, I can’t let blood get on Shion’s hands, and originally it was my responsibility to do my best at home, but other people may not understand or understand that.

When she handed the microphone over to me, I absolutely agreed with her opinion and supported her. Shouldn’t her husband take his wife’s side in the first place, or what? It’s not like Shion is doing something completely evil and being unreasonable, right?

“I’m on your wife’s side. Honestly, it was the bastards who did the shoddy construction that were at fault. And even if you punish them lightly, they will eventually go somewhere else and spread like cancer cells and do the same thing. So, shouldn’t they be disposed of from the beginning to prevent something like this from happening in the future?”

“But…”

“Any bastards who talk any more shit than this will be thrown into the house they built, along with their families. Let’s see if those words can come out even if you live in a house full of defects, not knowing when it will collapse.”

“…”

Reporters became completely dumb. There is a justification for eradicating shoddy construction, and they don’t want to be harsh, so I can’t say anything.

Above all, it is Zion that is exerting a greater influence now. The amount of unification government bonds purchased by Zion is 2 trillion won… Externally, the market capitalization of Ohsung Group, Korea’s top company, is around 600 trillion won, so it is roughly an amount that can buy about 3 bonds, but it has the financial resources to mobilize that amount and can afford more than that. Because it’s there, it’s obvious.

In fact, even if all the heads of large corporations gathered here attack Zion, wouldn’t they be able to defeat him? Once again, this is no joke, my wife.

“If there are no more questions, we will conclude today’s press conference here.”

Zion finished his post. Thanks to this, there wasn’t much of a fuss.

And the reaction to that press conference is a bonus. Until now, I thought it was just a chaebol level, but the reaction was different because it was revealed that it was a much worse chaebol than that.

-No, what the fuck now? 2 trillion?

-It’s our country’s budget for several years haha. It’s surprising that more support can be provided. It’s so ridiculous haha

-My mother-in-law was so fucking rich…

-Not at the level of fucking rich. If we provide about 2,000 trillion won in support and look at the possibility of more, it would not be possible to combine all the large companies in our country.

-Eden’s eyes: Her father is a handsome man, her mother is a wealthy tycoon, and she herself is talented and respected, so what on earth can she not have?

-Me?

-Oh, I don’t buy spoiled ones.

-ㅋㅋㅋㅋ But they say couples look alike, but they say it’s the wife of an evil bastard.

-ㄹㅇㅋㅋㅋ, honestly, there were a lot of people who had the guts to say that it was shoddy construction while building a building, so I hope they all get screwed.

-Mother-in-law!!! If you don’t mind, please just buy one from Häagen-Dazs (company)!!!!

-I’m actually scared because it seems possible!!!!

-Wow… But economists said it was a miracle that the economy was stabilized during the unification of North Korea, but it was actually not a miracle but a product of making too much money.

-If it weren’t for my wife, Korea would have been a mess.

-ㅇㅈ.

-I work taking care of North Korean refugees, so does my mother-in-law end up paying my salary?

-Probably so.

People flock to overwhelming amounts of money. As a result, public opinion turned negative about Zion into a favorable one.

Well, if Zion gets angry and doesn’t provide support, it’s certain that the economy will collapse in a few years… If you have a head, of course you should. It is all thanks to Zion that Korea is currently enjoying an economic boom.

There was a lot of fuss, but it was somehow resolved. This time, I think I benefited more from Zion, as it was like holding Korea’s unification and economic issues hostage rather than my own military power.

“Oh, there are a lot of people asking for their mother to appear on the next broadcast, right?”

“Well, in that case, I think it would be okay to appear as a guest. Let’s take a look at the reaction.”

“There must be a lot of people sticking around.”

“Honestly, it can’t be helped, right?”

The guest for this Eden broadcast was decided to be Zion. It’s come up before, but I think the reaction this time will be quite different.

Afterward, Eden set a separate broadcast date and started broadcasting right away. Although it was a broadcast from my home, no different from usual, the viewers warmly welcomed Sion as a guest.

“Hello guys~!!!”

“Oh, are you here?”

-Hehe, nunna, maman…

-Mother-in-law!!!!!

-Nunnaaaaa!!!!!

-My mother-in-law is so rich!!!!!

-Please just give me 100 million!!!!!

“Do you guys think that if you say something to my mom, you’ll get money?”

“That’s right. I have a lot of money, but I don’t think it’s a good idea to give money away for no reason. I wouldn’t mind if the prize money was a large amount.”

-Doesn’t your mother-in-law have a lot of money?

“Just because you have a lot of money doesn’t mean you spend it meaninglessly. Just as there is a difference between donating the same amount of money and wasting it through gambling.”

-ㅋㅋㅋㅋ Even if it’s the same for me, if I have to use it anyway, I’ll use it because it would be better.

-ㄹㅇㅋㅋㅋ

-But if it’s around 2,000 trillion, won’t we be able to help the underprivileged neighbors in Korea instead of feeding North Korea’s communists? No matter how much unification was achieved, aren’t the people of the Republic of Korea more important than the Kim family?

“Please refrain from making political comments. And I only lent money to the Korean government. I have no intention of telling them to do this or that with that money. Have you ever seen a creditor force a debtor to spend the money on something? You should talk to the government about that, not me. You found the wrong address.”

-Still, don’t you have some level of authority?

-Of course there is. I think that’s why I went to head the audit team this time.

“They keep going back to that side of the story… Is the Korean government nothing but idiots? They all have ideas and think they should spend that much money, so they support it. So let’s stop talking about politics like that. They don’t even vote during elections because it’s a hassle. “It’s really unseemly for you to talk politics to me in a place like this.”

“That’s right, I voted last time too.”

“Who did you pick for our daughter?”

“It’s a secret!!!!! It’s a secret vote, so you can’t even tell your family who you voted for!!!!!”

-Ah haha ​​then there’s nothing I can do.

-It seems like the political bastards have crawled in. Don’t you work as a manager!!!!

Since there are many people who are dissatisfied with North Korea and unification-related policies and projects, the chat window was also full of such stories? No, you bastards. Do we make laws or policies? That’s something you can change by protesting and voting. Don’t waste your time hitting us.

First, before things got a little more serious, the managers of the Eve and Eden channels were busy, banning people who made political comments. This is not the place to talk about politics, you bastards. Even though I’m next to you, it’s still like this.

“But you said you were really rich in the past, but now you’re saying you’re backstabbing. Didn’t you say that I bought you the land for the Garden of Eden when you bought it?”

-No… But who would have thought that he was rich enough to just throw away the expected years of our country?

-How many bowls of soup are 2,000 trillion won?

-If you don’t mind, please buy me just one Häagen-Dazs.

“Oh, the person who asked me to buy Häagen-Dazs, I will send a box of Häagen-Dazs to their home later.”

-Wow!!!!!

-You didn’t listen when I asked for money?!

“Is asking for money the same as asking for something? And I’m not stingy with food. Just don’t resell it instead.”

-Thank you, mother-in-law!!!!!

-Me too Haagen Dazs!!!!!!

-Please me too!!!!!

-My mother has been sick since I was young, so I have never had Haagen-Dazs…

As expected, there are a lot of people who stick around. I don’t know what to do with this… Write.

Still, it didn’t seem to be a big problem. Even though the money is enormous, there seems to be something familiar about Eden as she has often appeared on broadcasts in the past.

“Oh, Mom. But then next time, can we invite the President to film the broadcast?”

“You can do it, but then you end up talking about politics like today, so you have to accept that.”

“Then I guess I should quit. Politics bothers me too.”

“If you look at that, you are a natural father’s daughter.”

No, what kind of person are you thinking of inviting the president to? Shouldn’t we also think about the president’s position as he has to take the time to appear as a guest in the room?!

… I wonder if my wife did a good job of coming out properly. I have a feeling that there will be more troublesome things in the future.
