Today, Park Jin Hyuk visited the Blue House presidential palace and met with Chief Secretary Kim Jae Yeon.
The woman is in her 50s, a former judge, and has been elected to Congress many times.
After helping the current president win the election, she successfully entered the Blue House presidential office.
Newspapers and magazines often refer to her as a beautiful congresswoman. Kim Jae-yeon also seems to be particularly concerned about her appearance and dress, and is very attentive to this aspect.
Kim Jae-yeon looked at the documents Park Jin-hyuk handed her.
"Excuse me, what is this...?"
"It's about the legal issues and countermeasures I might encounter when donating equity."
"You don't have to worry about legal issues."
"I know you're well-versed in the law, but considering the potential problems, I've compiled them anyway."
Kim Jae-yeon said:
"These shares are now worth about 700 billion. What are your thoughts on gift tax?"
“I think the issue of taxes should not be considered by the donor, but by the recipient.”
"What did you say?"
Park Jin Hyuk realized that this negotiation did not seem to be easy.
"I'm considering using these donated shares to cover my gift tax liability."
"What does this mean?"
"In other words, I intend to use these DS BioLogics shares to cover the gift tax payable on the DS Corporation shares the chairman gifted me."
Jin Jae-yeon smiled slightly.
“Can that still be considered a donation?”
“To be precise, it’s not a donation.”
"That won't work. Donations shouldn't come with any strings attached."
Park Jin Hyuk tried to control himself and said:
"When I decided to donate these stocks, their value was 100 billion. And at that time, I didn't donate them to the government, but to a foundation, and used the profits generated by the stocks to help poor students and citizens..."
"Don't say that. A donation should be unconditional. Otherwise, it can't be called a donation."
Park Jin Hyuk was puzzled, how could someone who was so uncompetitive become the chief secretary of the Blue House?
"It seems that we have different ideas."
“It’s not feasible to say it’s a donation but it’s actually a gift tax.”
"Excuse me, are you aware that DS Pharmaceuticals is developing a vaccine? Results will be available soon, and many countries have already contacted us. Are you aware of this?"
"What does your story have to do with this matter? Who doesn't have friends abroad? I have quite a few political friends abroad, too."
Park Jin Hyuk was completely speechless and shook his head unconsciously.
When they first met, the number 200 million (about 1.06 million RMB) flashed past the woman's head. He was wondering if he had seen it wrong, but it seemed that he was not wrong.
Kim Jae-yeon noticed the change in Park Jin-hyuk's attitude.
"What's your attitude?"
"What's the matter?"
"Why are you shaking your head? You said you wanted to see me, so I made time to see you. What's with that attitude? A businessman..."
Because she was angry, Kim Jae-yeon almost said something wrong.
"What? Did I do something wrong as a businessman?"
"Are you deliberately looking for trouble?"
"It seems that there is no point in continuing to talk."
Having said that, Park Jin Hyuk stood up.
Jin Jae-yeon became even angrier.
"Young man, let me give you a piece of advice. You've only inherited some wealth from your parents, which is fundamentally different from people like us who have worked our way up. Furthermore, you're incredibly rude to women. As a man, don't you know how to respect women?"
“Woman…woman…”
Park Jin Hyuk curled his lips slightly.
"Look at yourself, you should really look in the mirror."
"I'm sitting here today because I'm thinking about my country first, but you don't understand why I'm here. Well, as a Korean citizen, I've done my best."
Park Jin Hyuk finally said:
"I suggest you look in the mirror. You're almost a grandmother, and what's that on your head? A butterfly hairpin..."
After saying that, he left without looking back.
Behind him, he could hear Jin Jae-yeon cursing.
After Park Jin Hyuk came out, he said to Kim Jun Woo:
"Contact Japan immediately."
"Japan?"
"If you want to provoke our government, which country is most effective? Isn't it Japan? At the same time, spread the word that I have come to our government."
"Will this cause a rift with the government?"
"If things get out of hand, who will be at a disadvantage? If you can't even figure that out, then what's the point of talking?"
That evening, major media outlets published urgent news.
[DS Pharmaceuticals told the South Korean government that it could prioritize domestic vaccine supply]
[The US and French governments have requested that DS Pharmaceuticals provide priority access to vaccines]
[Can DS Pharmaceuticals' vaccines be supplied to the domestic market first?]
[The Japanese government will hold secret talks with DS Pharmaceuticals tomorrow]
[Rumor has it that the South Korean government rejected DS Pharmaceutical's proposal. Is this true?]
[DS Pharmaceutical is more likely to supply vaccines overseas first]
DS Pharmaceuticals once announced that the domestic supply price of the vaccine is lower than the overseas price. Therefore, the failure of DS Pharmaceuticals and the South Korean government to reach an agreement has led to various speculations.
On the television program, the commentator said:
"The government said it has not yet held any discussions with DS Pharmaceuticals."
"The vaccines developed by our country should have been released to the domestic market first, but the government's statement that no consultations had been held with relevant companies is truly puzzling."
The commentator said very dissatisfiedly.
"As long as the demands made by DS are not excessive, the government should accept them..."
“Isn’t it because of the price?”
"DS Pharmaceuticals has announced that the domestic supply price is NT$200,000 for a three-dose set of the vaccine, and the government has expressed its acceptance. If the health insurance burden is removed, individuals only need to pay NT$30,000, so the price is not a problem."
DS Pharmaceuticals set domestic prices lower than overseas prices, and the domestic response to this has been very good.
Now everyone is on the side of DS Pharmaceuticals, accusing the government of incompetence.
Watching TV, Park Jin Hyuk asked Kim Jun Woo:
"When will the ministerial meeting of major oil-producing countries be held today?"
"6 p.m., Korean time."
“…it has already begun.”
"Yes."
"No news has come out?"
"not yet."
Jin Junyu replied.
"If there was any good news, it would have come out long ago."
Today in Cairo, Egypt, oil ministers from the world's major oil-producing countries met to discuss crude oil production and prices.
Before the meeting, public opinion had always believed that the meeting would produce a satisfactory result.
Park Jin Hyuk watched various financial channels but couldn't find any news about the meeting.
