Chapter 39: Key Figures

Since ancient times, the so-called fairness and justice have been just a piece of paper, and the powerful have disliked it when they use it to wipe their butts. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

At a time when the economy determines the political superstructure, it is understandable that the South Korean consortium is in charge, and even a strong national administrative agency such as the Ministry of Justice's Office of Internal Prosecutors would not dare to rashly attack the consortium, after all, it would cost people.

Anyone who can reach the position of prosecutor general of the Ministry of Justice is a qualified politician, and those who are not qualified have long been eliminated in the cruel competition.

As politicians, they naturally know who can be offended and who must not be provoked, but in South Korea, the most unprovoked thing is the consortium, because they control all aspects of the entire country, and even Kim Kyung-han, the minister of justice, does not know how many people in their department are supported by the consortium.

It is no exaggeration to say that these people attending the meeting today are all at a very high level, and they pat their chests one by one and promise that they will definitely uphold the dignity of the law and bring the masterminds behind the scenes to justice, but they are just talking.

Even the so-called secrecy system will be completely destroyed by them in an instant, and the issues discussed here now will not take half an hour for everyone who should know about them.

Kim Kyung-han originally thought that this matter would pass like this, and everyone unanimously pointed the finger at the Blue House, trying to get down one or two high-ranking officials to give an explanation to the world, but he never thought that before he could announce the end of the meeting, the secretary of affairs hurriedly came in, attached his ear to him, and said in a panic, "Minister, a person who claims to be the head of the legal team of the strategic planning office of the former Samsung Group asks to see me." ”

"What?" Jin Qinghan was stunned all of a sudden, and almost didn't come back to his senses.

This embarrassing scene instantly attracted the attention of everyone present, and they all wondered in their hearts, what happened to make this minister, who usually never puts his inner emotions on the surface, panic and uneasy?

Of course, Jin Qinghan was terrified, and even the huge uneasiness in his heart almost made him use the method of escape, whether it was pretending to be sick or pretending to be dead, he really wanted to escape quickly, so as not to provoke the disaster of death.

What kind of international joke, the reason why he agreed to the SK Group people to take action against the Blue House this time was that on the one hand, the strength of SK Group itself made him scruples, and many lawmakers supported by the opposing camp warned him on different occasions, and this kind of pressure from the top made him have to go through the motions.

After all, Congress is very concerned about the issue of the president's alleged corruption, as early as 2004, it once launched a disconfidence impeachment of the president, and once forced Roh Moo-hyun to resign.

As a native of South Korea, Kim Kyung-han certainly knows what kind of face the consortium is, and he looks like a respectful and law-abiding citizen on weekdays, and all kinds of charity are doing well, but in private, if someone dares to touch their basic plate, it will be an endless ending, not to mention that Kim Kyung-han himself has the handle to be controlled by the consortium, even if he is a morally perfect person, he has to get out of the way under the pervasive investigation of the consortium.

In this case, he doesn't even want to interfere too much in the affairs of the Blue House, and it is better to let some people under his command who have a strong sense of justice, or those with ulterior motives who want to climb up in the near future, charge into the battle.

But a phone call from the United States made him throw all his careful thoughts out of the clouds, because Americans are the real fathers of South Korea, and now the United States, which controls the real power~ Dad, the consortium has personally endorsed SK Group, how dare he resist, and this is why today's emergency meeting against the Blue House.

However, the master spoke, although he must carry it out, but the strength of the implementation depends on his own calculations, he originally planned it, if the consortium does not interfere, then take the opportunity to brush up a wave of prestige, it is best to pull President Lu down, and it can be regarded as an explanation in all aspects.

If the consortium, especially the Samsung consortium, resists fiercely, then he will actually investigate, and secretly play soy sauce, fooling around for a while, anyway, he will protect himself and let the upper echelons of the consortium fight.

This wishful thinking is a good fight, after all, the Ministry of Justice has a special status in South Korea, almost a family of its own, as the Minister of Justice, he still has the qualifications to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, after all, both sides have asked for him, and they will not easily do things.

But now, SK Group has arranged a former legal team leader from Samsung Group's strategic planning office, which is almost the clarion call for a decisive battle, and anyone with a discerning eye doesn't have to guess to know what's going on.

Seeing that he hadn't replied for a long time, the secretary was a little anxious, and urged in a low voice again, "Minister, many people have seen that Mr. Kim Young-cheol enter your office, if you stay for a long time, I'm afraid it will cause criticism." ”

The secretary is one of his cronies, so he naturally knows a lot of insiders, and in his opinion, provoking Samsung, the No. 1 consortium in South Korea, is simply self-defeating, but SK Group has an extraordinary relationship with their minister, and both sides are in a dilemma, and the best way for the present is to resign immediately, so as not to get involved in this dragon fight, and wait until the situation is clear, and then look for a chance to make a comeback.

Jin Qinghan didn't think so in his heart, but when he got to his position, every word and deed, every move was under the gaze of people with a heart, if he picked his son at this time, I am afraid that he would not resign and go home to farm, but go to prison and sing tears behind bars.

"I know, you go and entertain this Mr. Jin first, and be sure to appease him, but don't listen to every word he says. Jin Qinghan, who was extremely struggling in his heart, closed his eyes and pondered for a long time before he said bitterly.

After finishing speaking, his whole person was like a balloon that had been emptied, and his spirit instantly weakened a lot, but the motivation he had been training for a long time still made him hold on to his spirit and said loudly, "Since there is no objection, let's dismiss the meeting!" Director Lin will stay for a while, and the others will go back to work. ”

The prosecutors-general, who knew that something big had to happen, didn't dare to stay, because they also had to bring the news to the consortium behind them, after all, the topic of discussion in this meeting was how to deal with the president of the Blue House.

And Jin Qinghan, who presided over the meeting, was so frightened by an unexpected incident that he didn't dare to speak for a while, and the deep meaning revealed in this was enough to make everyone think hard and want to break their heads.

Lin Caizhen was stunned for a moment, stopped sorting out the notes in her hand, and looked at Minister Jin suspiciously.

But it wasn't until the people finished walking that Jin Qinghan was still silent in his seat and didn't speak, and Lin Caizhen, who couldn't wait, urged a little, "Minister Jin, what is the matter?"

"Oh, Director Lin, it's not a big deal, I just want to tell you that the matter I submitted about your promotion to the deputy head of the Ministry of Justice was rejected by the Blue House. Jin Qinghan came back to his senses completely and said seemingly casually.

Lim Chae-jin was originally the director of the Seoul Regional High Prosecutor's Office, which is almost a popular candidate for the next deputy minister of justice, and he has been campaigning for this matter, but why was he rejected by the Blue House when he saw the ironclad matter?

Jin Qinghan looked at Lin Caizhen, who looked puzzled, and suddenly smiled, "Director Lin, do you still understand? You offended people in your investigation of the Samsung Group back then, and now their revenge is coming!"

No matter how hard President Lu tried to clean up the traces of the three stars left on his body, in the eyes of the Ministry of Justice, it is a ridiculous childish behavior, ordinary people may not know, but the Ministry of Justice clearly understands how the so-called donation came from when President Lu was campaigning.

And how he repaid those interest groups after staying in the Blue House, the Ministry of Justice clearly understands these incidents, and there is preliminary evidence, if it were not for the fear that rash actions will be retaliated against, otherwise, the Ministry of Justice would have sent the president to prison a long time ago.

At that time, it was Lin Caizhen himself who was the main missile impeachment investigation into the president, and he was not stupid, and when he heard Kim Kyung-han's words, he immediately said angrily, "Do they dare to take the rights of the state and do whatever they want? I don't believe that all the parliamentarians are in the same league as him." ”

Kim Kyung-han suddenly found that there was such a natural ally, and some thorny matters suddenly became easy to solve, because there was an uninvited back-ercher, and he smiled and said, "Of course not! Some upright congressmen have already approached me through different channels, strongly condemning and indignant this blatant act of retaliation, and saying that they will never tolerate the unfair treatment of the prosecutor general who has worked so conscientiously like you. ”

Lin Caizhen looked sincerely frightened and humble on the surface, but secretly, she was constantly alerting, "What kind of upright parliamentarian, can sit in that position, is there still so-called justice at all? In their eyes, I am afraid that there is only their own interests." ”

As a rare outlier in the procuratorial system, Lin Caizhen has been constantly targeted from the beginning, if it weren't for the fact that he really has no handle for others to attack, otherwise how could the consortium tolerate the existence of a person like him who is against him everywhere.

"But you should also know that the Blue House must obey the overall situation in some matters, and in South Korea, this so-called overall situation is the irresistible orders of the chaebols, and some of the things you have done have made some chaebols feel worried, so I advise you to think about whether to withdraw from this investigation of the Blue House. "Just handed over the investigation of the Blue House to Lin Caizhen, and in the blink of an eye, Kim Kyung-han seemed to be persuading Lin Caizhen to quit.

This contradiction is almost self-deception, but this kind of strange thing, in the eyes of Jin Qinghan, is completely the most in line with the current situation, is he stupid? Not stupid, on the contrary, he is also very smart, because he knows what kind of character the person in front of him is, to put it bluntly, he is a master who refuses to admit defeat and will never bow his head, the more agitated he is, the more he has to fight.

Sure enough, Lin Caizhen successfully entered the set, he couldn't tolerate a group of national moths to occupy a high position, if only that, but his ambitions, his ideals are all here, the other party actually wants to block his progress, this is the endless war.

I saw Lin Caizhen say without hesitation, "Minister, I will never give up this time! Anyone who wants to bring me down, they are destined to be disappointed, because I ~ will never compromise!"

If it weren't for the Blue House and the consortium behind him insisting on hindering his promotion, he would not have resolutely stepped into this dispute full of swords and swords, so as to take the initiative to act as a pawn for the other party.

"Very good, I appreciate your sharpness, please rest assured! The entire legal department will be your strong backing!" Jin Qinghan got up and praised with a righteous face, and then took the initiative to put his hand on Lin Caizhen's shoulder, and said seriously, "But you also know that the power of those people covers all aspects of the entire country, if you want to act rashly, you will definitely pretend to be bloody, there are some things, you have to be mentally prepared!"

Since Lin Caizhen has already made a decision, she will not retreat easily, "Don't worry, minister, as long as there is the support of the entire department, I believe that no one can escape responsibility, and we will definitely bring them to justice!"

Jin Qinghan said loudly, "That's for sure, in that case, you come with me to the office, there is just someone you can use!"

Lin Caizhen had already guessed this situation, but he had to pretend to be grateful, as if he had taken advantage of Jin Qinghan, and followed him with a restrained face.

The rest is much simpler.

As the former head of the legal team of the strategic planning office of Samsung Group, Kim Rongzhe worked in Samsung Group from 1997 to 2004, but after 2004, his original position was forcibly occupied.

After all, this position, although not high in the entire group, is indeed a key core position, he naturally holds a lot of secrets in his hands, and Samsung Group is not easy to do things, so he was provided with a position of the same level, but it is a fictitious position, and the benefits are very different from before.

This move made Kim Rongzhe feel very angry, thinking that he had worked hard in the Samsung Group for so many years, but in the end he was swept away after losing his use value, and this humiliation made him flatly refuse Samsung's re-employment.

Perhaps to make amends, or to settle the situation, Samsung Group paid Kim Young-cheol 22 million won, or about $22,500 a year, in compensation for the next three years, until this year.

But Kim Young-chul's heart was extremely unbalanced, because he thought that this money was completely sorry for his contribution to Samsung back then, so the grumbling and extremely dissatisfied former head of Samsung's key department entered the sight of SK Group, and a check for $500,000 and a promise to send him to Europe immediately afterwards completely moved this man who wanted to get justice.

Samsung's fraud case kicked off, and no one would have thought that starting with this man, the once-prosperous Samsung Group was about to enter its last afterglow.
