I am Noble

00434 The hunt is over. But...

The word "10,000 tons of gold" caused Yu Yu Woong's body to turn around in reflexes. That was the extent of Hubon's words.

“Ten thousand tons of gold? ”

Hubert smiles satisfactorily, thinking the story had finally worked.

“Yes. 10,000 tons of gold ingots. ”

“Director Nam, how much is it worth? ”

Nam Ki-chul, an ordinary middle-class person, was momentarily vacant and barely came to his senses because he said it was 10,000 tons of gold. I guess I can't help it if I see that the translator is doing it right.

“Currently the price of gold is 50,000 won per gram, 500 trillion won for 10,000 tons. ”

“Okay, then. ”

I thought it was good enough to tell a story proudly, but only 500 trillion won? Yeong-woong was steamed again. The only assets currently available in Roschild are worth close to three dollars, and you can only pull out 500 trillion won of hidden property?

But Hubert was relaxed. Rather, I gave advice to Nam Ki-chul.

“Shouldn't we stop them? ”

Nam Ki-chul quickly regained his senses. He almost caught hold of her for a moment.

But not right now. It means getting caught up in Hubert's face. I should give you some advice, but not here. You must negotiate, but you must not become a silent partner.

I got up on the Namki Railway. And I left without looking back.

‘Again, the magnitude of international financial capital... …. ’

Is the rich man who has been established over the years so different? I feel tense that I can't see the bluff. I didn't think I'd hidden a single move in the meantime.

* * *

“It's only 500 trillion won, right? It's not a small fortune, of course, but it's easy for me to get. Do you think it's worth 500 trillion won? ”

“Sir, that's not true. Real estate, certificates of deposit, corporate equity, that kind of hidden property, it's not 500 trillion, it's 5,000 trillion. But gold is different. ”

“Gold is different? ”

“Gold can itself become money. It's a peculiar trait. Since then, gold has been universally loved by all mankind. ”

Nam Ki-chul suddenly thought that he shouldn't laugh at Hubert's deal like this. It was worth 10,000 tons of gold. But because he was not an economist, he was confusingly unable to convince himself of the importance of work.

So Nam Ki-chul explained to the government in detail and asked for support. The government was turned upside down.

Ten thousand tons of gold! The Korean government's gold reserve is only 110 tons!

The government, of course, stepped out like a puppy on fire. Regardless of the outcome, we cannot pass on this critical task without proper negotiation. That's how politics works.

That's why the deputy minister of finance, who was dispatched by the government, is persuading Yeong-woong to sweat a lot.

“Thousands of tons of gold are not just 500 trillion won worth of cash, or stocks, or real estate, can never be compared to 500 trillion won of gold. Gold is a stable asset that does not sway by itself. Also……. ”

I have a lot of explaining to do, but the story is too difficult. Is it because the economy rarely studies?

Su Yu-woong missed Sae-sam's advisory board. The professors used to explain that understanding and judgment were as simple as possible.

When I looked around Nam Ki-chul, he noticed and said instead.

“The total amount of gold that humanity has mined is currently estimated at about 180,000 tons. With just a ton of gold, it's one-eighteenth the total amount of gold that humanity has. ”

“…… that's a lot to think about. ”

At first, it was only 50 trillion won? But I feel different because it's one-eighteenth the volume that humanity has. This looks amazing.

“Gold has a lot of implications throughout the value of money, national credibility, financial economics, etc. President Jaehyeong is currently pushing for a policy to make KRW a contribution currency. Having a lot of gold makes things easier. ”

“Mmmm... ”

“And gold is precious metal. No one hates gold. I heard you have a gold Bugatti Lego, but isn't it impressive to see that shiny golden one? ”

One eighteenth of the gold that humanity holds.

No one hates gold.

So, unlike crystals, the amount is limited, and it's a precious metal that everyone appreciates, so it's good to have a lot.

It's Nam Gi-cheol. Unlike what the vice minister of finance said, I can't even remember his name.

“But my country has a monopoly on blue crystals, right? Isn't that supposed to be a phone call? ”

“The value of blue crystals is absolute, but crystals are an industrial resource, not precious metals. Extremely metaphorically, it's high-end crude oil, not jewelry. ”

“Well, yeah. I can't be a jewel... ”

“And, Chairman, wouldn't it be great to have a lot of blue crystals and lots of gold? Do you really have to leave one of the two rabbits and go after one? ”

“Oh, yeah. ”

Suu Kyung Woong, who has thin ears, was persuaded by Nam Ki-chul and agreed to let the government take care of it. The government immediately negotiated with Hubert. But surprisingly, he refused.

Nam Ki-chul came back embarrassed.

“I must speak to you. ”

“With me?”

“Yes. I can't trust our government's promise..." ”

Taking over the Hugh Button, taking over Roschild's property, is a stake between Yusuf and Russia, and the South Korean government did nothing in between. At best, he was in charge of diplomatic negotiations as Yongwoong's proxy.

So Yeong-woong went to the prison and visited Hubon.

“I guess 10,000 tons of gold is great. People like you change their minds. ”

"One eighteenth of what we have in the world," he said. At first, I thought 500 trillion won was small. ”

Young-woong admitted that it was nothing. Hubert narrows his eyes.

Normally business relationships do not allow such a cool reception. Failure to show the inside is the most fundamental of negotiating transactions.

But he's different. I tell the truth honestly without any pressure at all. That's rather scary.

It is because you are free to act sincerely and have nothing to lose. With Hubert's knowledge, there's only one thing he can do.

A monarch with absolute power. Or a dictator.

No need to worry about the future of power, no need to worry about taking your place. A tyrant with the power to destroy anything he wants at any time. Only such a person can do such a thing.

‘Is there only one way? ’

Hubert has been very nervous for a long time. He has no regrets, no weaknesses. There's nothing you can get if you treat the politicians, the monarchs of Europe, and the enemies of the state like you've always treated them. He literally has nothing to lose if he falls down at any time.

“Ten thousand tons of gold is the total hidden value of our family. I'll give it all to you. I will also give all your hidden property to the countries, individuals and organizations you want. Instead.”

“Instead? ”

“Release my clan. And leave me $100 million. ”

“ ……. ”

“I'm not asking you to release him right now. I'm prepared to live a life of some kind. and not 100 million dollars per person, but 100 million dollars for the whole family. Shouldn't we have enough money to live on? ”

At this rate, Rosschild has given up everything: 100 million dollars. It's a lot of money, but it's nothing compared to what Rothschild has in common, hidden property.

I will literally give up all my wealth, so I'm asking for forgiveness.

Nam Ki-chul swallowed dry saliva. If you are a ‘politician’, you must accept this request.

Some may say this is not justice. However, illegal acts, especially in the international realm, help achieve national interests rather than legal ones. It's unsettling, but it's the truth.

‘You won't give away all your hidden treasure. However, if you want to show your faith, you have to give more than half. ’

I didn't think they were going to fall out after eating 100 million dollars. That's a good reason. Don't you think they'll just give up their entire fortune?

However, to convince this side, more than half of the hidden treasure must be given away. Doing so makes things easier.

“You're gonna let me go someday and leave me $100 million and I'll give you everything? ”

“Yes.”

“In return, will you pay me 10,000 tons of gold and my hidden treasure where I want it? ”

“Yes. If you want it." ”

“You will be released as well, right? ”

“…… Yes. ”

She closed her eyes quietly and thought. Hubert didn't show much color, but his eyebrows felt a bit tense.

It was the biggest gamble and the biggest deal of his life. The last business to put its own life and family in jeopardy. After this time, they will be able to rise again, as they have been persecuted for thousands of years.

Rather, Lee-Cheol was the most nervous, so he couldn't even breathe. It's a secret transaction going back and forth underwater that no one knows about. It may be a little immoral, but the profit from it is too great.

Even if the people knew of the deal, they would not blame him. No, I would rather support what you've done for your country. Ten thousand tons of gold. Even if it is private property, it will benefit this country and the entire nation just by entering this country.

“Never. Never. ”

“ ……! ”

Hubert opens his eyes, thinking that he would accept it, and Lee-Chul, who couldn't breathe and watched, breathes his last breath.

Hubert stammers with a slight distorted expression.

“Oh, why...? With just ten tons of gold, I can hold the world currency and shake it... ”

“I know that 10,000 tons of gold is not just 500 trillion won. 1/18 of human holdings? Well, that's a lot of money. But you can't do that. ”

“ ……. ”

“You created a viral monster that endangered the entire human race. That includes me, my family, my friends, my neighbors, my school students and professors, their families and my country's alumni. I can't pay for my crimes. ”

Yeong-woong coldly stared at the Hub button and said something else.

“I can't be ashamed of that. That's not fair. ”

As if there was nothing more to think about, Yusuf stood up. Hubert sits dumbfounded, quite shocked, not so easily rejected.

Not only that, but Nam Ki Rail was also sitting there, surprised. The words of shameful acts, unjust acts, and Yeong-woong dug their hearts.

‘I…… only thought about politics. ’

Politicians should accept such deals. It's not a private bargain, and it's good for the whole country. I thought so.

But on the one hand, I didn't know it was against the justice of this country. It was embarrassing.

"A man can be a good judge. ’

I don't think the praise of the precious old silver has ever been engraved with shame like today.

"There's too little settlement!"

ps: You didn't think there was going to be a partnership.

pS: So if you've offered 500 trillion won in cash or stocks, it's a suggestion to snore. But with just a ton of gold, the story changes. A thousandth of the amount of gold that humanity has in its possession has tremendous power. And gold is not just a resource, it's precious metal. Although the gold standard has been abolished, it is also the only thing that guarantees the monetary value at the last moment. But I dared to omit it because it would be unnecessary killing if the narrative got too detailed. (There are some things I don't know in detail.)

The value of the crystals on the job is absolute. But crystals are not precious metals. You don't have to reject Han Hyo-ju's dash because you're dating Kim Tae-hee.
