Chapter 501: Juyoung Hong (28)
When Chairman Hong spoke, those who were whispering here and there paid their attention to the contract.
They knew that the moment when 29 oil tankers loaded up with crude oil entered Korean ports, Myongjin Oil Refinery would beat Mirae, Daesung, Hanil Energy, and Maseok Caltex to become Korea's largest oil refinery company.
So they reached the conclusion in less than 10 minutes that they would accept the contracts unconditionally.
After that, Chairman Hong directly called the U.S. Secretary of Commerce using the number on his business card to say he would sign the contracts.
And the US Secretary of Commerce replied, "Oil tankers full of crude oil will soon arrive at the Busan port of Myongjin Oil Refinery."
After confirming it, Chairman Hong put down the phone.
The next day, the Blue House staff were busy because although the US economic delegation led by the US Commerce Secretary did not visit the Blue House first after setting foot in Korea, they were fortunately supposed to attend a dinner hosted by the Blue House the next day.
President Kim Ki-jung could breathe a sigh of relief at their participation because if they left Korea without visiting the Blue House, people would blame him for the government's incompetence.
Anyway, he welcomed them at the Blue House, but he didn't move to the dinner hall right away because he had to tackle the more important issue of securing crude oil first.
