Park Jin Hyuk continued:
"This is called stirring up trouble. When the venomous snakes dare to raise their heads, I will chop them off. I will not tolerate those who are useless and oppose me. If I can get rid of them, losing hundreds of billions will be nothing."
"I see."
Li Yongbin took the order and walked out of the office.
Before they knew it, it was almost noon. Just as Park Jin Hyuk was about to leave for his father-in-law's house, an uninvited guest arrived.
Jin Junyu came in and said:
"Director, Chief Zheng is here."
"Commander Zheng?"
Park Jin Hyuk looked embarrassed, but he still said:
"Please ask him to come in."
Yesterday, the government announced that Park Jin Hyuk paid gift tax using DS BioLogics shares, and since then, there has been much discussion on television about the changes this will bring to the shareholding structure of DS Group.
Oil prices are still in the negative range, and the crisis faced by DS Group has not been resolved.
Jin Junyu walked in with Zheng Qiying.
Park Jin Hyuk stood up and welcomed:
"What brings you here?"
"Director Park, I've come all the way here to apologize to you."
"Apologize? Please sit down and say it."
Park Jin Hyuk subconsciously glanced at his watch. The time he and Han Ji Yeon had agreed upon was almost up.
Seeing this, Zheng Qiying said:
"Did I come at the wrong time?"
Park Jin Hyuk quickly replied with a smile:
"It's okay, go ahead."
"Before announcing the news yesterday, I only greeted President Xuan, but I didn't have time to discuss it with you. I'm sorry."
"You are very kind. I also hope that the news will be announced to the public."
"That's good, that's good."
"You know, when chaebol families pass down their wealth through inheritance or gift, the biggest concern is taxes. Some people try every possible means to pay less taxes... but I don't want to do that."
"You're right. We can't do anything illegal just for that little money."
Park Jin Hyuk nodded in agreement.
Zheng Qiying continued:
"Don't worry, I've already made arrangements with the National Tax Service. The gift tax confirmation will be completed in a few days."
"My legal team is also ready, and the National Tax Service can connect with them at any time."
Zheng Qiying nodded repeatedly, picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea.
Park Jin Hyuk understood that the so-called apology was just to bring up the next topic.
Then he said:
"You came to me just to talk about this, didn't you?"
Zheng Qiying also glanced at his watch and said:
"Mr. Richard Green, the American Ambassador, will be here shortly."
Park Jin Hyuk was surprised:
"What? He's coming to my place? ...Why?"
"The U.S. side is very anxious now."
"Are you anxious? ... Even if we're anxious, we have to take it one step at a time. The vaccine is still completing clinical trials."
"You know the latest death toll released by the United States, right?"
This information is included in the information briefing submitted by Jin Junyu every day.
"I remember that as of yesterday, it had exceeded 200,000. Isn't this the number predicted before?"
"That's right. They are anxious because the predictions are exactly in line with the actual situation."
Park Jin Hyuk looked at Jung Ki Young with a puzzled look.
"Three days ago, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention submitted a forecast report predicting that the death toll will exceed 2 million by the end of the year."
"Two million? In less than half a year?"
Zheng Qiying lowered his voice and said:
"This is still a relatively optimistic forecast."
The total population of the United States is more than 300 million, which is six times that of South Korea. It is normal that the number of infections and deaths is higher than that of South Korea, but the number of 2 million is too shocking.
"Why are there so many?"
"The United States emphasizes personal freedom. Measures like wearing masks and prohibiting going out are very difficult to implement. So far, each state has formulated its own control measures. I heard that the federal government is preparing to implement a nationwide ban in the next two days..."
Ding, ding, ding...
There was a knock on the door, Jin Junyu leaned in and said:
"Director, the lady is here."
Park Jin Hyuk said to Jung Kye Young:
"Sorry, I have to excuse myself for a moment."
Zheng Qiying made a gesture to indicate that he was welcome to go ahead.
Park Jin Hyuk came out of the office, and Han Ji Yeon came forward and asked:
"Are there any guests inside?"
Park Jin Hyuk apologized:
"Yes, we have a sudden visitor. How about this? You go first, and I'll be right there after I finish my business."
"Let me go by myself?"
Park Jin Hyuk was wondering how to respond when Han Ji Yeon softened her tone.
"How much longer do you have?"
"I'll be quick."
"Okay then. I'll go first. You must come."
"Don't worry, I'll be there as soon as I'm done."
As he said that, Park Jin Hyuk sent Han Ji Yeon downstairs.
Only after watching her get in the car and leave did he turn around and walk back.
In the elevator, Jin Junyu asked:
"Would you like me to call your father-in-law's house and explain that you'll be a little late?"
"No, I didn't say hello on purpose. I just wanted to see what was going on over there."
Not long after Park Jin Hyuk returned to his office, the American ambassador arrived.
After the meeting, Park Jin Hyuk said:
"Ambassador Green, what brings you here? If you need anything, just tell me and I'll be right there."
"Director Park, how can that be possible? Of course I should come over, and I also happen to be visiting the DS Group headquarters."
