Chapter 623: Turf
While Kim Do-joon and Taeyeon were chatting happily, almost all the high-level executives in the SK Group headquarters building and Chey Tae-won's office were standing in his office and receiving his blurt out scolding.
"You bunch of nonsense, I spend so much money every year to support you, and this kind of thing happens, do you know how much it affects me, you can work here, get so much salary, it's all up to me, if I don't sit in the position, you can do this? Now as soon as this matter comes out, the company's stock price has plummeted, and many shareholders have called to ask what happened, you explain to me, why such a thing broke out in just a few days, and why the top secret information of the group will be circulated, who leaked the secret, it is best to take the initiative to stand up, otherwise let me find out, no one should think about it! ”
Choi Tae-won's height is not particularly tall, but he looks very sideways, his face is full of horizontal meat, and even if he is wearing a haute couture suit, he feels very uncomfortable, a bit like the head of the club.
Although becoming the chairman of SK Group must be related to his own ability, if he did not have the ability, he would have been overturned to the ground a long time ago, not to mention that he has been sitting firmly until now.
But there is one point, I like to use power to oppress people, and I like to use money to solve problems, which is very serious.
Looking at the management below, hanging their heads one by one, they couldn't let out a fart for a long time, Cui Taeyuan's heart was like a fire, the more it burned, the more it burned, and he looked down with his hands on his waist, not knowing what to do.
Do you scold again, or take a quiet rest and continue to think of what countermeasures?
The phone on the desk rings from time to time, and you can call here. The relationship is certainly extraordinary. Either schadenfreude. Come and ridicule it, or you just come and ask sincerely how the situation is now, and if you need help.
At this time, Choi Tae-won didn't have time or heart to answer the phone, so he all went to the secretary, if there was anything, let her deal with it first, and then report it to himself after it was summarized.
Now him. We must be single-minded and deal with the things in front of us, otherwise we will not survive this crisis at all.
"Director Zhang, you are the head of the legal department, do you think this incident will have a big impact on me!"
Choi Tae-won glanced up and immediately asked.
As the head of the company's legal affairs department, he is proficient in Korean and international laws, including commercial and non-commercial, and deals with Korean laws on a daily basis.
I closed my eyes and thought about it for a moment. Director Zhang said slowly.
"If ideally, according to the laws of the Republic of Korea. At least 4 years in prison, the key depends on what kind of crime to prosecute you, if it is fraud, the crime will be much more severe, if it is embezzlement, it may be reduced a lot, of course, the premise is that you have to pay back this large amount of money! ”
For these chaebol families, tax evasion and evasion of legal punishment seem to have become a common practice.
In their eyes, there is nothing that money can't do, so they are much more arrogant than others.
Of course, not everyone is like that, like Samsung's Lee Jae-yong, they are all very low-key and very mysterious people.
This one is a bit similar to Kim Do-joon.
It's just that the way the two people hide is a little different, one is that when the whole Korean people know about it, they hide it, and they don't easily expose their figures in the media or the camera, so as to maintain their mystery.
And one is to participate in variety shows on TV stations, and they appear on TV almost every week, and they originally felt a little strange, but their popularity in South Korea has increased greatly, from grandfathers and grandmothers over 60 years old, to school children under the age of 10, all of whom have known themselves through "Two Days and One Night".
This is when it becomes a habit for everyone to know, it will feel less mysterious.
Two very different ways of life.
"So what's the situation now, is there someone from the procuratorate? Is there any news, and is there another hello? ”
Choi Tae-won calmed his mood, he was too impatient to calm down and deal with things, he could only suppress the anger in his heart, now is not the time to be held responsible, if there is anything to investigate slowly, Choi Tae-won doesn't believe it, someone is doing things under his nose, betraying himself, and he doesn't have a way out, it's impossible.
Moreover, there is a reason why Choi Tae-won is so worried about prosecutors.
In South Korea, prosecutors are highly mobile, usually rotated over two to three years, mainly because prosecutors have very much power.
They can decide on the opening of a case, initiate and terminate a criminal investigation, direct the work of the judicial police, and can withdraw or change the alleged offence at a timely time, and even the Minister of Justice has no authority to interfere in the investigation of specific cases.
So once you get a prosecutor with a prickly head, the person who is not easy to take care of is almost all trouble.
Every prosecutor must have the trust and support of the public and must ensure political neutrality and judicial independence in the investigation.
It is precisely because of this that South Korean TV dramas often shoot some themes related to prosecutors, which demonstrate justice everywhere, safeguard the interests of the people, punish corrupt elements, and let criminals get due punishment and maintain social order and stability.
"There is no news in the morning, but I just received the news that in the afternoon they will be stationed in the SK Group and officially conduct an investigation!"
A man with parted hair, with his head down, immediately opened his mouth to respond, speaking in a somewhat rough voice, sounding a little uncomfortable, and even a little hoarse.
"The other information has not been processed, the destruction that has just been destroyed, don't leave evidence, and let the financial side prepare, in case the computer is moved, don't cause anything, I don't want anything else to be exposed, now it's a shame, if it goes on like this, my face will be lost!"
Choi Tae-won slapped the table hard, his palms were red, but he didn't care at all, and shouted loudly.
It is not the first time that prosecutors have come to SK Group to investigate, and it is customary to move computers. It has long been accustomed to various chaebol enterprises.
Usually they come to investigate. The news has already been received. Deal with it in advance, it's not a big problem, and everything will be back to the same when they leave.
No matter how powerful the prosecutor is, after all, there is only one person or a group of people, how to confront the wealthy chaebol group, even if there is ambition and a bloody goal, but such a confrontation. It's tantamount to a fool's dream, don't even think about it.
Taking a step back, Choi Tae-won is not afraid of any prosecutors or the like, even if it is the South Korean government, he doesn't care at all.
SK Group employs more than hundreds of thousands of people in South Korea, and with so many subsidiaries around the world, how many industries have been developed, how many people have been employed, and how many people have been able to survive every year.
If you really tear your face with yourself. It was really a catastrophe, and it was just ordinary people who suffered.
Now him. It's okay to sit on the ground and raise the price and blackmail the government, but don't go too far, and you can barely push this matter over.
Isn't it the same to find a way to top the hole and go back and earn it back?
Choi Tae-won seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly asked.
"How much debt do we owe now, and how much money do we need to make up for the bank loan!"
Because there is a suspicion of loan fraud, if you can repay it on time and on time, this crime will not be established at all.
In addition, as a major shareholder of SK Group, he is already responsible for the company's production and operation, and it is normal for him to need some bank loans.
After all, in the current economic situation, and under the shroud of the economic crisis, cash flow is king.
Although several years have passed since this incident, SK Group has been paying its debts on time, so I am not worried about this aspect of the matter.
The only thing that needs to be considered may be embezzlement, which no one can do, even if you don't want to admit it, you have to admit it.
Because there's the inside story of political cash and the money raised for the presidential election, and it's a huge number, plus the money from the loans, it's a really big number.
looked at the chief financial officer of the group, found that he had a sad face, and knew that he was looking at him, and immediately understood what Choi Tae-won was thinking, and felt that he spoke.
"In the case of the economic crisis, the bank loan is very small, the company's cash flow has been very tight, and it is impossible to take out so much money, plus the deadline for several overseas financing is about to arrive, and it must be repaid immediately, if it is not repaid, it will affect the pace of the group's overseas entry in the future, and furthermore, once the prosecutor officially launches an investigation, the company's account must be supervised, so if you want to take out money from it, it is estimated that it is unlikely!"
The CFO shook his head in embarrassment, even if Choi Tae-won was the majority shareholder of the company, he had no choice, and now he went to help him raise money.
If the number is small, then it is better to say, with other companies that have a good relationship, borrow a little, cross the bridge, and return it to them soon, it is not a big problem.
But I didn't have to think about this number, I still refused directly, and I didn't get anything done, but I dragged myself into the water.
In this way, the atmosphere of running a company has been deadlocked, and no one has put forward their own opinions.
It wasn't until the end that Choi Tae-won couldn't hold it back, so he got up from his chair and said loudly.
"In that case, I can only use my own money, but even if I have all the cash in the bank, I can't get such money, and it's not hundreds of millions of won, director, please do me a favor, I have a good plot of land in Cheongdam-dong, Gangnam District, Seoul, about 750 acres of land, which is still prepared for the new building of SK Group, and now it seems that it is no longer needed, and I also have a small piece of land in the Gangseo area, that place is not big, and the specific area I don't know, Anyway, it is an abandoned car dump, all scrapped cars are put there, piled up, or the former modern cars, I see that the scenery of that place is good, by the sea, bought it cheaply, you can build a house to live in the future, it is just 40 minutes away from Gimpo Airport, the geographical location is not bad, not particularly partial, of course, there are almost no people over there, they are some abandoned places, you see, can you help me find a buyer, don't look for domestic, the best in the world, so it will not be very embarrassing, In case I say it, my face will be all over, help me see, as long as the price is right, I want to get rid of it as soon as possible and raise funds to deal with this turmoil! ”
At the same time as Choi Tae-won finished speaking, KDJ CEO Joshua had just walked out of Incheon Airport on a private jet arranged by Amex. (To be continued......)
