Finally, it has come.

He tried to calm his beating heart, but the words of Hasad that were spit out the next moment were in vain.

-10 billion dollars. In addition, we plan to confirm additional investment depending on the performance of the three-year operation, which may expand to a maximum of $20 billion.

“·················ogue.”

At the current exchange rate, $10 billion is more than 13 trillion dollars.

It is hard to find a precedent for a single investment amount.

Of course, it does not reach the amount that Saudi Arabia invested in Softbank before the return, but it should be kept in mind that it is a future with a completely different price index from this era.

[Is that true?]

Moreover, Hasad is now open to the possibility of further investment.

The horse is an additional investment based on performance.

Considering the growth rate of Jaewoo now and the growth potential of the hells I will collect in the future, it is safe to say that it is an investment that has already been confirmed.

-Yes, the UAE Investment Agency will contact you soon. It seems that it took some time because the conditions are a bit more demanding than ours, but they said that the investment amount of about $5 billion was confirmed recently.

Hasad has another piece of good news.

If it had been in front of me, I would have wanted to kiss her even...

No, it's cancelled.

He can't kiss the furry unless he's crazy.

[I don't know how to say thank you.]

He hung up the phone after saying thank you over and over again.

What will happen if this becomes news?

His trembling hands can hardly be controlled by the excitement that is already coming.

******

[Jaewoo Group has attracted a total of 15 billion dollars of investment with Saudi Arabia and the UAE. Jaewoo plans to add $5 billion in equity capital to create a fund totaling $20 billion.]

A few days later, the news was all over the news.

Since it is only domestic news, the amount is so unprecedented that the issue of creating a joint fund between Jaewoo and two Middle Eastern countries has been a topic of discussion in foreign media for a while.

[Jaewoo has not yet designated the first target for fund investment.]

As the media said, I did not rush to designate an investment target.

It was also because the IT bubble did not completely burst due to the timing, and the list of specific investment targets was not finalized.

Perhaps because of that, investment destinations that had nothing to do with my intentions went up and down in the world, and as a result, serious stocks got caught up in rumors and the stock price went up.

[Recently, the stock prices of all affiliates of the Jaewoo Group are skyrocketing without knowing it.]

Ironically, all stocks with the name Jaewoo soared as if jumping.

Since I have full control over the management, I have in mind the possibility of investing in the Jaewoo affiliates.

Thanks to this, the business rankings jumped up at once, marking 6th place.

“Are you setting up a venture investment branch in the US?”

Secretary Kim, who was watching the news together, had a lot of strength in her shoulders.

It's no big deal.

She, too, is now the chief of staff at the top of the teenage group.

Her recent gazes from her friends have also changed quite a bit, and perhaps that's why her face sometimes reveals a pomp that she's never seen before.

Ttt, why is Secretary Kim like this?

“Because there are more things to pick up in the US than in Korea.”

She tilted her head at my brief reply.

When she wakes up, not caring about her, she immediately checks her own notebook and asks.

“Dayu Joseon’s tour is scheduled for tomorrow. Do you have anywhere else to go?”

“I think I’ll have to visit the Daiyu truck factory,” she said.

“Okay, I’ll get the car ready right away.”

Seeing that she didn't ask why, it seemed that she already knew her intentions.

She knows, though, that she knows that some lines of oil trucks are being converted to military vehicles only recently.

She smiled and was about to grab her suit when she came across a disturbing news about her.

“Really, I got a phone call from CEO Jin Hyeon-cheol in the morning, and he told the president that he might have a brother-in-law.”

“·················ogue.”

Her eyes widened in embarrassment.

After taking a long sigh as if she understood her expression, Secretary Kim looked through my notebook again as if trying to convey more accurate facts.

“It is said that there will be a meeting between the two families in about two months. So, please set aside time in advance.”

“What kind of ghosts are you talking about? A person who had been living alone all of a sudden suddenly got married.”

“Even if you ask me that, I don’t think I can give you an answer.”

“·················ogue.”

******

“Welcome, Chairman.”

A few hours later, I found a Daeyou truck that was undergoing a line change for a while.

Progress is about 70%.

Since it was based on mass production, the scale was larger than I expected, and the cost was also being consumed considerably.

“How is the development progress of JLTV?”

“The exposure test that applied the bulletproof material to the lower part has already been successfully completed. The engine has already been tested for performance. The problem is the mission, but it seems difficult to finish the development within the deadline suggested by the president.”

The damn mission problem got me stuck here too.

If it's a commercial vehicle, it can be solved somehow with what I have, but this is something that has to survive in a hellish battlefield environment.

It seems like we will have to borrow Germany's power again right now.

“For now, keep developing. And let's say that the first production to be produced at the end of this year is imported and installed by a German company. It will take time to match the design, so you will have to place an order in advance.”

It was a decision I had made because I wanted to be the only way out right now.

It would be great if we could solve everything ourselves, but what should we do with something that doesn't work?

At times like this, it is always a pity for our poor basic engineering field.

‘Well, it’s not unreasonable to catch up with those who have more than 100 years of history at once with the technology accumulated in the course of industrialization that has only lasted for a few decades. Still, how did we fail to create a proper mission even in 2025...'

Follow me!

The phone rang as I was pouring out my complaints in my thick heart.

The caller was Kim Young-gi, Vice President.

I tilted my head in doubt and pressed the call button to hear his urgent voice.

- Chairman, have you heard from Secretary Kim?

“What news?”

- Dasan Machinery, which we are negotiating to acquire. Some of the staff there suddenly resigned.

“·················ogue.”

-I met with your representative in the morning to sign the final contract, but then why didn't you tell the truth?

Dasan was a gun parts maker that we were recently acquiring.

In some metal processing and heat treatment technologies, it has a level that surpasses that of Germany.

In fact, it has nothing to do with the fact that a few researchers leave the company, but in Dasan's case, the research manpower is the core of the company, so it's a problem.

“Is the workforce going out right before the merger? look at this?”

******

“What happened?”

The place where Vice President Kim joined was in Wanju, Jeollabuk-do, where the headquarters of Dasan Machinery was located.

As if they had heard the news in advance, the CEO and other staff were at the entrance to meet them.

After a short greeting with them, I went straight into the conference room.

“It’s a bit awkward to say something like this, but it’s my fault.”

The gray-haired CEO came from an engineer with a strong bone in the floor.

Even though I'm in a position to take over the company soon, it's hard to see an old man that keeps his head down.

He hurriedly waved his hand, sat him down and asked for a detailed explanation.

“It was the time to inform the employees of the company's recent sale policy. Of course, it was also revealed that it was a condition for all employment succession. But two researchers who were in charge of heat treatment asked me to take a long vacation before the merger.”

“So?”

“I thought it would be difficult to find a vacation after merging with a large company, so I agreed and gave him a vacation… but then suddenly a letter of resignation came in the mail.”

“You didn’t submit a face-to-face submission, but you sent a letter of resignation by mail?”

Actually, I can't say anything about retirement itself.

Because this is not some communist country.

But they are the ones who dealt with the core research area of ​​a company.

The problem is that there is a high possibility of leakage of confidential information through job transfer to the same industry.

No, second of all, are there all such irresponsible cases?

Even at a local convenience store, it is polite to give notice of retirement face-to-face.

“Yeah, so I went to visit them myself, but I couldn’t meet them together.”

“You mean refusing to be interviewed?”

“No, both of them have moved out.”

The moment I heard those words, I was touched.

This is not just a matter of retiring for health or personal reasons.

As if thinking the same thing, Vice President Kim's eyes narrowed as well, and soon he moved his hand in a hurry before I even dared to speak and called someone.

“Director Im. I am the vice president. There are a few people who need a follow-up right now, is that possible?”

Vice-President Kim still moved quickly.

I looked at Dasan's representative again with a faint smile on his face, wondering if he was struggling any more, and he was hesitantly looking at me.

“If you have something else to say, say it.”

“Actually, I also thought that the situation was a bit strange, so I bought people and attached them to them, but they say their spending has been very bad lately.”

“·················ogue.”

“The car I was driving has changed, and the fact that I go shopping around the luxury department store every time...”

“How long has it been since they didn’t show up?”

“Including the vacation period, it’s been close to a month.”

For a moment, I had a gut feeling that they had already leaked the technology.

In a word, that's it.

If I had to change jobs in the same industry, I would rather get a lot of money and sell my technology and live comfortably as there are many reasons for the problem to arise.

If so, what I need to do is not first find out the background I had in contact with them.

“They apply for a patent on the technology they intervened right away.”

"Yeah? In that case, it would be the same as revealing the technology itself…….”

“Anyway, the technology has already leaked. So, shouldn't it be protected for the time being through patents?"

The president nodded his head at that.

In the end, he felt regretful, suggesting that the rabbits who had left the house be brought back.

“I’m sorry, but if you give me the end of a few days, I will somehow persuade them……”

“No, you don’t have to.”

"Yeah?"

“If you have already leaked the technology, why would you receive them in a field that is no different than a traitor? Even if I haven't leaked the tech yet, I'm not generous enough to bring back those who once stabbed me in the back.”

The president bowed his head at those words.

Ttt, I'm not so cool where...

It would be difficult to succeed him as the manager.

“Once again, in order to prevent this from happening again, all remaining research personnel will be dispatched to Thales. In other words, from now on, this place is nothing more and nothing less than a production base.”(Read more @ hotmtlnovel.xyz)

“·················ogue.”

“And it is unfortunate, but I think it should be done as if there was no problem with the CEO continuing to be in charge.”

The president did not react at all to that statement.

After all, he was the one who made the flaws in the merger process.

Perhaps he was aware that his resignation was a clue to sealing the problem.

'Then what's left now is how to deal with the rabbit out of the house...'

In that regard, I think we need to do a little bit of overkill.

******

“Fortunately, no one in Korea applied for a patent related to Dasan’s heat treatment technology. We have investigated all PCT member countries, but none of the related technologies have been patented.”

A few days later, the good news came.

I wondered what would happen if I applied for a patent first in the place where the technology was stolen.

Well, it wouldn't have been easy.

If we file a patent application first, the background will be revealed, and we will soon have to face our retaliation.

Besides, the word is a patent, which means technology disclosure, and there is a high possibility that we even wanted to do that.

"Twitch."

Actually, I'm upset about that part.

Most of the technologies and materials developed in my research lab will appear in the world sooner or later, so I needed a patent, but it's not Dasan's heat treatment technology.

I wonder if Germany would have imported Dasan's firearms because Germany could not keep up with it until 2020.

Even in order to soothe a sore stomach, I plan to find out the secret behind it.

“If possible, ask them to file an international patent application at the same time.”

“Yes, I did that part through a patent attorney.”

“Good job, Secretary Kim. Oh yeah! I have one more request, please call Jaewoo Security CEO Jeong on the way out.”

Jaewoo Security was the name of a security company that was established recently.

The CEO's name is Jung Hae-yong.

Former National Intelligence Service and Deputy Chief Lim. No, he was dealing with foreign intelligence under Executive Director Lim, and he was once a commander who was quite famous in the Special Warfare Command.

“Did you call, Chairman?”

“I have one request for you, CEO Jung.”

I instructed him to meet with two researchers who have left Dasan this time.

Of course, the purpose is not to persuade them, but to allow them to face reality.

After listening to the explanation the whole time, CEO Jung's eyes widened and asked.

“Are you really saying that?”

“Yes, please tell me that. It looks like you've already received money from somewhere, so don't even dream of doing business or business with that money. No matter how much money it costs, I will completely destroy you.”

“·················ogue.”

"Ah! Please tell me that it will be impossible to get a job even as a security guard. And even if I secretly emigrate, tell me that I will find it till the end."

“·················ogue.”
