NOVEL NEXT chapter 217
217 episodes. Imoogi was raising dragons.
After finishing the tour in the UK, I returned to Australia.
Then I went straight to NAB Bank.
To open the safe where 38% of the Royal Crown’s bearer stake is sleeping.
“The authenticity of the chip and password has been confirmed. Please wait.”
The head of the NAB bank came shortly after with four sealed envelopes.
This is the old method of sealing with wax and sealing the seal.
The emblem was the crown mark of the Royal Crown.
“Here it is. Check it out.”
I took the envelopes and opened them one by one by hand.
Unlike the last time, there was nothing else in it except bearer stock certificates.
“I checked. There is no problem.”
“I didn’t know the day would come when I would be able to give this to you.”
“Thank you for keeping it so well.”
I thanked him.
If it wasn’t for him, it wouldn’t have been preserved until now.
Not to mention, it doesn’t have a key to keep customers like the Melbourne Commonwealth’s underground vault, it’s just a chip and a password.
If the owner of the chip offers a large sum of money for the password, it can be passed on, because it is a person.
“Chairman Gary Parker did a lot of foreign exchange transactions through our bank during his lifetime. Thanks to him, I was able to become a bank president, so considering his grace, I must protect it.”
“It was.”
“I’m glad you came while I was guarding this place. If it was someone else, I would have been very shaken. Heh heh.”
“Did someone lobby?”
The bank manager nodded with a puzzled expression.
“I came from the Royal Crown. It was beyond my imagination.”
They said it was the Royal Crown, but it was clear that it was Jaden Parker.
“Have you ever been harmed by rejecting it?”
“The Royal Crown closed the transaction because of that, but thanks to the mediation of Minister Peter Waltz, it went through safely. There was also a reason that we were a national bank.”
Roughly drawing a picture
Since casinos are considered a national project in Australia, Jayden Parker would not have been able to ignore the mediation of horse racing and casino minister Peter Waltz.
Moreover, the target was NAB, Australia’s largest national bank.
“And Mr. Jean, I have a favor to ask you.”
“Are you asking?”
“I heard that you haven’t designated a main bank for All Mining yet, but how about our NAB?”
“Aren’t you more interested in the resource and energy sovereign wealth fund than the main bank?”
“……!”
It’s also the same as Chairman Zhao-Chan.
Well, if you’re a finance person, it’s a natural reaction.
“If you are a confident person like the president of a bank, I will have to bow down and serve you. I will review both in a positive way.”
“Thank you, thank you Mr. Jean!”
I smiled and took his hand.
If you are the president of the national bank, of course, you have enough qualifications.
***
Jayden Parker wondered what he had heard wrong.
“What? Bearer stock taken out of the NAB?”
The chief of staff, Paul, nodded with a sullen face.
“I just got a call from the deputy bank president, and he said that Edward Jean of All Mining had just visited.”
“Are you that child again!?”
Paul was startled by the sound of a bang on the table.
“Yes, yes. I had 4 chips and a password, so I had no choice but to give it away.”
“What!? It’s not even one, it’s been swept away?”
Jaden was so startled that he couldn’t keep his mouth shut.
“Yeah, I heard that.”
“How? David, that gambler is, but how did Stanley, Robert, and their spirits get their hands on it?”
“It’s still not understood…”
“What the fuck are you doing? What the hell are you doing with a paycheck?”
“……”
“Then my mother’s chip? Where the hell was it? Henry, did that man have it?”
“Okay, I’ll check it out.”
Paul bit his lip and bowed his head.
Something flew through his head.
-puck! Pararak.
The papers fluttered and fell to the floor.
Paul’s self-esteem.
“Get out, you bastard! Don’t even think about striking me until you find out! Okay!?”
“……yes.”
It was when Paul, who could not raise his head in shame, left the office.
“An asshole like that is also a secretary, that’s me!”
It was a loud voice that seemed to be heard rather than talking to himself.
Paul shook his hand in contempt.
***
Paul went straight to the 15th floor without leaving the Royal Crown headquarters.
There was the office of Vice-President Russell Taylor.
“Mr. Taylor, do you have time?”
“Oh, Paul. Wait a minute.”
Russell finished the call and put the phone into his arms.
“Okay, what’s the matter with you coming all the way here? Did the president have any orders?”
“No. I personally wanted to ask you something, so I went to see you.”
“Personally?”
“yes.”
“Hmm…”
He looked at Paul’s face for a moment and then continued.
“Are you struggling to please Jaden?”
“……”
“Everyone knows, your hard work is great. What’s going on?”
“What do you think of the Vice-Chairman?”
At Paul’s question, Russell frowned.
“What do you mean, that?”
“I’m asking if it’s appropriate for President Jayden Parker to continue to assume the role of the Royal Crown.”
“What are you talking about now!”
A slightly furious voice echoed through the office.
“Me and you, no, the Royal Crown executives and staff didn’t know that they were able to work in this blessed place thanks to the former president? But are you asking about Jayden’s qualifications?”
“I have certainly received a lot of favor from the former president. He took me away and helped me in both ways, both physically and mentally, so that I could get to the position of chief of staff.”
“……”
At Paul’s acknowledgment, Russell softened his angry expression somewhat.
“But Mr. Taylor, like the P&B group, the Royal Crown group could be in a precarious situation like this. The acquisition of Forrescu Metal…. Others don’t know, but the vice president knows about it. The amount invested this time is 5 billion won Dollars.”
“Isn’t that a blown away? There’s a problem with Baosant Metal, the main customer, but the Royal Crown is just that much in danger? It’s a nonsensical sound.”
Paul was frustrated by Russell’s unchanging appearance, but he continued to speak calmly.
“I found out that Baosant Metal, Jinhua Steel, and Pangda Group were all cutting deals one after another.
“…is that true?”
“Yes, I can bet on my head.”
At Paul’s promise, Russell closed his eyes tightly and put his forehead on his forehead.
Because it was the same as saying that he was tricked by Andy Forescue and wasted $5 billion.
“How did you know that? It must have been difficult to find out from the outside. Did you even buy it?”
“This is information confirmed through the National Tax Service.”
“……?”
“It hasn’t been released yet, but Andy Forescue was charged with tax evasion not long ago.”
The proceeds from the sale of Forrescu Metal’s stake confirmed in the process of digging up the source of the funds.
Because the money was more than the existing value, additional investigation was conducted, and it turned out that it was because the sale was made without all of the inside information being disclosed.
Paul had obtained the information in secret.
“These motherfuckers…”
“I don’t think there’s anything to be ashamed of. It’s our fault that we took over in a hurry without properly investigating it.”
Russell knew that the reason for the rush was Jaden Parker’s strong argument.
“So what’s your opinion? It sounds to me like they’re going to fire Jayden.”
“How am I going to do that as a chief of staff?”
“Are you saying you want to see me?”
“I said that I came here to inquire about its intentions. What do you think of the vice-president?”
Russell pulled out a cigarette out of frustration.
“Huh, do you know? The former president is like a father to me.”
“yes.”
“That’s why I cared for Jaden like my younger brother. The former president also asked me to look after him before he passed away.”
“……”
“Of the two groups he founded, he abandoned P&B and chose Royal Crown because it was easier for him to defend Jayden’s management rights.”
Paul had the feeling that Russell’s words wouldn’t break his heart.
By the way,
“But, as you said, if they were scammed and blown away $5 billion, the group could be at risk. This is not the first time.”
he was struggling
What choice should I make in a situation where even the Royal Crown is about to fall into hell?
“Then do you plan to raise a proposal for dismissal?”
“Before that, I’d like to hear from you about your plans. If you don’t secure more than Jaden’s stake, it’ll be useless. I’ll listen to it and decide.”
After shaking his head, Paul said that the bearer stakeholder in NAB had appeared.
He is also the representative of the Bearfax Media Group affiliate.
“Henry Bearfax collected them all?”
“To be precise, this is Edward Jean of All Mining. Of course, he will also be behind him. And, as you know, the stake is 38%, so if you add the stake of the Vice President’s faction, you will be able to pass the proposal for dismissal.”
“……Okay.”
“I know the vice president doesn’t like Henry Bearfax.”
Russell was the leader of the faction that kept Henry in check.
He was confronted with the judgment that Henry had great business acumen but could be a threat to its president, Gary Parker.
A great but unreliable person.
That was Henry Bearfax, as the Opposition thought.
And as proof of that, the P&B group is currently in his hands.
Although it was separated due to bad management in the past, after seeing it, I couldn’t get rid of the thought that everything was playing on the palm of his hand.
“Henry Bearfax is going to swallow the Royal Crown in the end. You probably don’t know that he is that kind of person either.”
“I know. But Mr. Taylor.”
“……?”
“Now is different from the time when the former president was alive. He may have been a threat to the former president back then, but now that he is dead, is there no one more suitable for the president of the Royal Crown than the founding member Henry Bearfax?”
“……”
Russell took a deep sip of his cigarette, deep in thought.
Looking at him like that, Paul continued.
“And, as I said before, the owner of the stake is not Henry Bearfax, but Edward Jean. He is the CEO of All Mining, which was created by exchanging a stake in the P&B group with Jencock. He is a person who is publicly rumored to be the successor of Henry Bearfax. “
“Are you a hidden son?”
“No, I’m Asian. I don’t know why, but I’m actively supporting him.”
“Does that Henry actively support the undisclosed person?”
“I’m sure.”
“Aren’t you being taken advantage of?”
“Absolutely, it’s clean. And it’s paying off for Henry’s push.”
“……?”
“If you look at his recent achievements, he won’t even be able to reach even Henry of the past.”
Paul explained to Russell about all-mining.
“Is that really? You’ve done that much in two years in the mining industry?”
“It’s a job, but it seems very deep to say that the industry giants Andy Forescue and Lionel Thompson got to that point because of him.”
“Heh, Imoogi was raising dragons…”
Paul hinted at Russell’s admiration.
“If you don’t like Henry, see Edward Jean.”
