Episode 269.
SH Group headquarters building.
The chairman’s office located on the top floor.
“I’m sorry for contacting you so suddenly.”
Siwoo said with an apologetic expression.
“Hey, he’s still like that.”
Then, SH Group Chairman Han Min-ah answered as if asking what was going on.
Wavy bob cut hair and proud gestures.
The usual soft and elegant sophistication was growing in stature as the days passed.
“You asked to meet. You should cancel any prior engagements with the President immediately.”
huh?
Cancel the President’s engagement?
“……yes?”
Siwoo’s expression suddenly became blank.
A look of skepticism.
“I’m kidding.”
Fortunately, Han Min-ah smiled brightly and said.
Only then was Siwoo able to breathe a small sigh of relief.
“I really thought I had cancelled my engagement with His Excellency the President.”
Of course, getting a seat with the President was never easy.
But if he was the chairman of SH Group, he could have easily done that.
“No way. It’s not easy for even a country to have a seat with Your Excellency. I just cancelled the Minister of Economy’s appointment.”
“…yes?”
“This is a joke too.”
“… … .”
Siwoo’s face turned red again.
Han Min-ah laughed heartily.
How much did you laugh like that?
“… So. What’s going on?”
Han Min-ah asked, lightly wiping her eyes with her hand.
“I have a favor to ask of you, Aunt.”
“ask?”
“Yes. Oh, before that, how is the distribution of the blood transfusion medicine going?”
“We are in the process of purchasing a suitable site for storage. We are also gradually establishing a distribution network. It is tight, but we will be able to supply the quantity accordingly.”
“I guess you’re not ready yet.”
“There are many things to consider. But why all of a sudden?”
“That’s… because the production of the blood transfusion agent you mentioned earlier has been completed.”
“…what?”
Han Min-ah opened her eyes in surprise.
That would be the case, since the quantity of blood transfusion medicine requested from Siwoo was not just one or two.
In the first place, there is no way that the amount of blood tonic distributed throughout the world would be more than one or two.
Additionally, the blood-boosting agent could only be manufactured by Siwoo.
To put it simply, Siwoo had no choice but to make it by himself.
Naturally, the production speed had to be slow.
That’s why I thought it would take several months at the very least.
“You’ve already made all that quantity?
“To be exact, we made about three times more than the quantity you told us to.”
Han Min-ah was at a loss for words.
“Is it possible to use a distribution network that has been hastily built?”
“Right Now?”
“The faster it is distributed, the less suffering people will experience.”
I was once again at a loss for words after hearing Siwoo’s words.
If you think about it, the blood transfusion wasn’t of any benefit to Siwoo.
Because Siwoo was supplying blood tonics to SH Pharmaceuticals free of charge.
Of course, SH Pharmaceutical also froze the price of blood-boosting agents at 1,000 won.
Because of that, SH Pharmaceutical also did not make a profit.
Various management, maintenance, repairs, distribution, etc.
From a cost perspective, it was an unconditional deficit.
I have calculated the profit and loss.
For every unit of blood thinner sold, a loss of -132,000 won was incurred.
This caused quite a lot of damage.
But let me be honest.
Looking at the SH Group as a whole, this was not the case.
It was currently recording a huge surplus.
This was because SH Group’s social image had improved significantly.
Blood transfusion price frozen at 1,000 won.
Everyone who isn’t an idiot knows how nonsensical this is.
Everyone knows why SH Group made this decision.
A company that coexists with people.
The image of the name SH was thus imprinted throughout the world.
People sought out SH Group products even though they were a little more expensive.
If it had SH Group’s name on it, everyone trusted it and bought it.
It was having a kind of marketing effect.
And to achieve this level of marketing effectiveness, astronomical sums of money were required.
Thousands of trillions.
Even at the lowest estimate, that kind of money was needed.
Moreover, it is not the case that money alone is enough.
Trust had to be built over a long period of time.
You can tell that the so-called ‘luxury’ brands all started from craftsmen with hundreds of years of tradition.
An image requires time, which money cannot buy.
Han Min-ah also started out by accepting a deficit.
It was a big decision for the former chairman to take a different path from Han Tae-san.
But the actual results completely overturned expectations.
Estimated value in the trillions.
Future value cannot be converted.
perhaps.
Could it be that Siwoo had predicted something like this?
Could it be that he was the first to extend a helping hand to the SH Group, which was collapsing after the disaster in Seoul?
The strength is that of an S+ rank hunter.
Medical knowledge is Nobel Prize worthy.
Even Han Min-ah had the insight to see the big picture.
It was Siwoo who truly surprised me every time I saw him.
That’s why I became even more greedy.
I wanted to get Siwoo a little closer.
We were still close enough.
But I wanted to be closer than we are now.
I wanted to tie it with a thread that could never be broken.
“Chaerin, that’s what I’m talking about.”
The true meaning of family, the bond of blood.
Siwoo flinched at Han Min-ah’s words! He trembled as if he was startled.
To be exact, he seemed surprised by the name Chaerin.
Something… was unusual about Siwoo.
“I heard the story. I heard you’re staying at your father’s house right now.”
Han Chae-rin, who is staying at Geomseon’s house and training.
When I first heard that story, I was really surprised.
I didn’t know Chaerin would make that decision.
But after hearing the reason─.
“Father?”
For a moment, Siwoo tilted his head and asked.
“Uh, uh… ? No, I mean… Mr. Geomseon… your house.”
Han Min-ah’s face turned red without her knowing it.
Siwoo, who I glanced at briefly, was laughing heartily.
I tried to stab him first, but I ended up getting stabbed in the opposite way.
“Oh, anyway! Was the favor you asked me to give you something related to the distribution of blood transfusion?”
“Yes. And there’s one more thing… .”
Siwoo paused for a moment and then continued.
“Can you lend me a private jet?”
“…Huh? A private plane?”
Han Min-ah tilted her head at Si-woo’s sudden words.
“Why a private jet?”
Why is there a private jet out of the blue?
“I think I have to go to Myanmar.”
“Myanmar?”
Han Min-ah couldn’t understand what Si-woo was saying at all.
I tilt my head again for a moment, wondering what it was.
“That’s it.”
Siwoo opened his mouth slowly.
* * *
The blue sky seen outside the window.
Below the horizon, pure white clouds were gathering in clumps.
This place feels like it’s floating above the clouds.
No, this place is actually floating above the clouds.
“Wow. This is my first time riding a private jet, bro.”
It was none other than a private jet owned by SH Group.
The interior of the private jet was smaller than I thought.
6 seats in first class, excluding captain’s cabin.
That was all.
But maybe that’s why.
“There’s a refrigerator here… Oh my god! This looks so expensive. Can I just eat it?”
It was a private jet that had a particularly old-fashioned feel.
Kim Yi-jun looked around the inside of the plane, wondering what was new.
And what.
Siwoo was also curious.
Because it was the first time Siwoo had ridden a private jet.
No, what the hell is a private jet?
It was my first time on an airplane.
That’s why the feeling of floating in the sky was unfamiliar and amazing.
“That’s right, hyung.”
At that moment, Kim Yi-jun asked.
In the meantime, he was chewing on something, probably something he had taken out of the refrigerator and eaten.
“There is no permission to do this.”
gulp.
“Can I go to Myanmar?”
Kim Yi-jun is picking things up again.
Chocolate? Macaron? That looks luxurious at first glance.
I put that disgusting thing in my mouth again and slurp it down.
“It’s okay, it’s a national issue.”
gulp.
“I thought it might spread.”
“Eat or talk. Just do one of the two.”
“Hahaha.”
Siwoo shook his head from side to side.
In fact, what Kim Yi-jun said wasn’t wrong.
Because Siwoo didn’t go through any immigration inspection.
So, I didn’t get permission to enter the country from the Myanmar government.
Myanmar had initially blocked all entry.
The situation was such that even flights to Myanmar could not take off.
Right now, it could be said that the very act of taking off from this plane was illegal.
Of course, Siwoo was aware of that fact.
So this is what Siwoo thought.
“They said that passing over the sky is okay without the permission of the Myanmar government.”
Right to overfly.
The right to fly non-stop through a country’s airspace.
It was one of the most basic rights in civil aviation, known as freedom of the sky.
It was the right to fly freely through the airspace of a country as long as one did not ‘land’, as the name suggests.
Of course, it was not a right that was just acquired.
It had to be a country or company that was qualified to do so.
But SH Group, a global corporation, deserved it.
And it wasn’t as easy as it sounded.
This was a right that was mainly permitted only to cargo planes carrying cargo.
So this is the private plane that Siwoo is riding on right now.
“Officially, this plane is a cargo plane headed to India.”
It’s just a private jet in name only.
In reality, it was a cargo plane transporting goods.
And the stuff this cargo plane carries.
“Ah. So that’s why you brought a lot of blood tonics from Korea?”
“that’s right.”
Siwoo nodded slightly.
“Huh? But brother. If you don’t get permission to land, doesn’t that mean you can’t enter Myanmar anyway?”
Kim Yi-jun tilted his head again and asked.
“Are you thinking of entering the country illegally through India?”
“no.”
Siwoo shook his head firmly.
It’s not that I didn’t think of that method.
However, Myanmar is currently in a situation where entry into the country itself is not permitted.
Entry by land would also be impossible.
“Then how do you get into Myanmar?”
“How do you get in?”
Siwoo continued speaking as if he was saying something obvious.
“You have to jump in the middle.”
“………yes?”
Then, Kim Yi-jun’s expression suddenly rose.
Something I was holding in my hand, either chocolate or a macaron, fell to the floor.
A moment of silence.
“What, what are you doing?! Jumping out?!!”
Kim Yi-jun shouted in horror.
“I think so.”
“Oh, where? Surely not on this plane, right?”
“Then where do you jump from?”
“Huh?!?!?”
“What are you so surprised about?”
“Of course you’re surprised! It would be strange not to be surprised!”
“What’s weird? Even regular people jump out of airplanes sometimes.”
“What kind of ordinary person in the world jumps out of an airplane!”
Kim Yi-jun raised his voice as if to tell her to stop talking nonsense.
Siwoo tilted his head at Kim Yijun’s appearance.
“Everyone said it was skydiving?”
” …yes?”
Once again, Kim Yi-jun’s expression rose to the surface.
“Are you saying that you are using a parachute?”
“Then just jump?”
“uh….”
Kim Yi-jun’s dazed expression.
“Ah. That’s right, right? You used a parachute, right? Hahaha.”
“So you really thought I’d just jump?”
“Joe, a little?”
What does a little bit mean?
“I thought you would just jump down, hyung.”
“Are you crazy? If I fall from this height, I’ll die too.”
International aircraft traveled primarily through the stratosphere.
Approximately 13 km above the ground.
Even if you were to fall from this height, you wouldn’t be safe.
But what the heck.
“Huh? Are you saying that my brother will die from something as small as this?”
Kim Yi-jun shouted with an expression of disbelief.
“…What on earth do you think I am?”
“Of course… .”
of course?
“monster?”
It was truly a word with many implications.
Siwoo was about to say something, but then he said, “Ugh.”
He shook his head and looked out the window.
Pure white clouds visible below.
Now that I look at it like this… .
‘I don’t think I’ll die.’
It seemed like I might be able to survive.
* * *
Myanmar.
A country located in Southeast Asia, its original name was ‘Burma’.
The national name is derived from the name of the Burmese people, who make up the majority of Myanmar.
However, due to criticism that the name of the country could refer to a specific ethnic group, it was renamed Myanmar.
So the official name of the country was ‘Republic of the Union of Myanmar’.
A landscape of lush jungle within Myanmar’s territory.
Pick it up one by one.
Siwoo folded the scattered parachutes neatly and put them in his subspace pocket.
And then I looked around again, far away.
“Hyoooooooooooooooooooo!!!!”
I could see Kim Lee-Jun falling from the sky.
Maybe I opened the parachute wrong.
Or camera equipment, batteries, etc.
Could it be that you’re overloading your large bag with too many items?
“Eww!”
It was Kim Lee-jun who was falling with a thud as the parachute failed to do its job.
It seemed like a pretty dangerous situation.
If I had fallen like that, it was a given that I would have broken at least a few places.
It looked like he might have suffered an injury that could have resulted in serious disability.
But does Kim Yi-jun not care?
“Hey, don’t worry, hyung! No matter what happens, I’ll definitely protect the camera equipment!”
Kim Lee-jun, who was falling down while making a fuss, was hugging a large bag tightly.
“A sponsored camera worth a whopping 47 million won! A camera that costs more than my monthly salary!”
Like a hen hatching precious eggs.
“Even if my internal organs are cut off, I will protect the camera tightly!”
Kwerekdeul-era-gak!!
It was Kim Lee-Jun who fell to an unknown place with an unknown scream.
If someone who doesn’t know saw it, they would think a monster had fallen from the sky.
“… … .”
I was really speechless.
Siwoo let out a small sigh.
“I said you don’t have to follow me.”
In fact, Siwoo had no intention of bringing Kim Yijun.
I didn’t want to force them to go to dangerous Myanmar.
It was easier for Siwoo to move quickly alone.
But guess what?
‘What are you talking about, brother? I am your cameraman. I have the honorable mission of recording your accomplishments on film!’
And yet, he shows a determined expression on his face.
“But I don’t know why.”
I really wondered why though.
But Siwoo said it couldn’t be done.
But Kim Yi-jun did not back down either.
What the hell is backing down for?
‘If you don’t take me, I will visit Seo-ah three times a day! Every single day!’
Instead, it was Kim Lee-Jun who was making threats.
It seemed like some kind of threat, but Siwoo had no choice but to raise his hand.
So now.
“Where did you fall?”
Siwoo walked to find Kim Lee-jun, who had fallen to his death.
“Was it this way?”
It was just then that I was about to take that step.
Startle!
Something that stimulates Siwoo’s senses for a moment.
“Holy Arrow!”
Almost at the same time a loud shout was heard.
