Chapter 774 – The Real Culprit of Environmental Destruction
Face.
To some, it may be nothing more than pride.
“Holy shit…”
“Umm.”
“No matter how you look at it, you lost this time.”
There are some people for whom that is everything in the world.
Other than that.
‘Just wait and see. ‘Do you think I’ll just move on like this?’
Because it already exists.
Cecilio Agnelli is furious.
I had everything since I was born.
As the third son of the Agnelli Group.
“Somehow, somehow, I’m going to bring that guy to his knees. Otherwise, my anger won’t go away.”
“Hey, hey.”
“Father!”
Nothing happens the way you want.
It collapsed cruelly.
‘Something like an Asian monkey.’
Lee Chan-wook.
My head is filled with thoughts about him.
I want to tear it to death.
He is drinking at the bar and burning out his desire for revenge.
Next to Cecilio.
“I heard an unbelievable story when I came.”
“?!!”
Chairman and biological father of the Agnelli Group.
Sebastiano Agnelli takes a seat.
Cecilio and his friends swallow the tension.
Although I am not afraid of external evaluation.
“Well, that’s not it…”
“What do you mean it’s not?”
“I made a little mistake.”
It is infinitely weak on the inside.
This is because you may be pushed out in the succession battle.
I’m proud.
It’s Anhamuin.
Cecilio also in front of his biological father.
‘Hmph, stupid bastard.’
Become a dog with its tail down.
Sebastiano clicks his tongue inwardly.
Third son.
He does not occupy a large role in the family compared to the eldest or second son.
It was released freely.
But you’re causing trouble in social circles.
“I see.”
“It is true that I was a bit emotional. I will make sure something like this never happens again.”
“I guess that doesn’t matter.”
“Yes?”
“You don’t have to win.”
“”…””
I’m not particularly blaming you.
What Sebastiano thinks is important.
‘The Agnelli family has respect.’
We must win.
It doesn’t really matter why they fought or how they fought.
History remembers only the winners.
I am in a position to know that fact better than anyone else.
“It’s a memory of a wine glass fight. At least I don’t remember losing.”
The head of a chaebol family.
It is a position that can only be achieved by winning, winning, and winning again.
‘You can’t deny that you don’t have the vigor of your youth…’
We have been through similar times.
Fighting is a long-standing tradition in social circles.
“Your father too?”
“Huu…, I can’t imagine.”
“There are times when you have to show your actions in order to make your point.”
“As expected, you are amazing.”
“You’re awesome!”
That method.
There is nothing that attracts more attention than breaking a glass.
‘Asian people are surprisingly good at being petty.’
Unlike Americans, who get 100 out of 100, Asians are surprisingly good at party etiquette.
“Hold the glass like this.”
“You even use your little finger?”
“Okay.”
“Damn it! I never thought such a trick would exist.”
How to handle high-quality tableware.
When you hold a wine glass using all your fingers.
‘Vibration is minimized, and the angle can be delicately adjusted.’
If it’s the same wine glass, you win nine times out of ten.
This is the technique of wine glass fighting.
I knew that.
I can roughly guess why you knew.
“Even among Asians, the upper class studies European etiquette. Almost… At the same level as otakus.”
” Haha!””
It’s probably because I admire it.
Because they want to become like Europeans like themselves.
‘Imitating like a monkey.’
It’s the same.
It’s absolutely ridiculous.
It is not something to be ignored.
Sometimes they even get results that surprise them.
A man named Lee Chan-wook also belongs to them.
“This probably isn’t the time to laugh.”
“”…””
“This is a guy who was already attracting attention. It seems like a stepping stone for that.”
Sebastiano knows.
About Lee Chan-wook’s business and presence.
‘It’s not good.’
It has significant influence in Korea and Japan.
They are also trying to expand their presence in the United States.
What if it gets bigger?
It may become a third force that breaks the existing balance.
“The Asian community cannot grow any bigger. This is something that your father and I agree on.”
Representative of Agnelli Group.
It is nothing more than one’s social status.
My responsibility is to represent Italy within the family.
Gulp!
It is one axis that protects Europe’s rights and interests.
This is a fact that any successor must be aware of.
Cecilio and Friends.
The face becomes contemplative.
Even if it becomes known to my father.
‘I’m still being compared to my brother.’
‘Why on earth are you breaking the glass?’
‘It’s all because of Cecilio!’
Evaluation within the family worsens.
It is the most fearful thing for them.
“Well, then what should I do…”
“You guys, use whatever connections you have. The adults will do the rest.”
“I understand.”
“If there’s anything you need to do, please tell me!”
More than that.
It moves within a larger framework.
The issues surrounding Lee Chan-wook.
‘It’s already been decided.’
It was when he was on the guest list.
I tried to apply subtle pressure.
It protrudes on its own.
The flow is not strange at all even if there is a dispute.
“Do you know the schedule for tomorrow? We’re going to have that guy appear as a panelist. The audience’s reaction… Take care of it yourself.”
It was created.
An agreement was simply gathered to implement it.
‘I need to help them understand the topic.’
It was built up over tens and hundreds of years.
There is nothing you can do about a rolled stone.
It teaches you that fact.
It becomes a position that limits Lee Chan-wook’s position and actions.

Day 3.
The Sun Valley Conference has also entered its final stages.
“What will happen today?”
“Didn’t you see the pamphlet?”
“Of course, I saw it before I came…”
It takes place over a total of four days.
There are also private events such as social gatherings.
‘The real thing starts from the third day.’
VIPs from all walks of life gathered.
Each one of them represents their own field.
Let’s have a constructive discussion!
It is natural for such a story to come out.
“It said there would be a panel discussion. Days 1 and 2 were so impressive that I asked if there was anything else.”
It is no exaggeration to say that it is a small G7.
Those who have that much power.
‘Because there are so many.’
Discussion here.
It cannot be seen as a simple exchange of opinions.
It determines the direction of the world.
This is because attendees listen.
You will empathize with the seriousness and importance of the issue.
“If a social gathering reaches this level, it will have a ripple effect.”
“It’s like that.”
As a CEO of a company or as a politician, you are bound to pay attention.
Such an atmosphere.
‘It’s about creating a flow.’
The Sun Valley Conference became a catalyst for the mobile world, the activation of YouTube, and the rapid development of AI.
Sometimes topics that are too universal come up.
There are times when it is not helpful in business terms.
“Ah, Mr. Lee Chan-wook! You are here.”
Even that is meaningful in terms of understanding the world’s trends and interests.
It is of high importance.
That’s why it has meaning.
Presenting your opinion in front of VIPs from each country.
“Yes, what’s going on?”
“It came from the committee. It’s nothing else… There is a panel discussion today at 2 o’clock.”
“I plan to attend.”
“I’m glad if that’s the case! If you don’t mind, how about as a panelist instead of an audience member?”
A proposal suddenly comes.
They are asking you to participate as one of the panels at the official event.
There were circumstances.
After listening to it, I understand.
And among the many invited guests.
“One of the Asian panelists is scheduled to return to Korea. I would be grateful if Mr. Lee Chan-wook takes his place.”
B.
If you look at it as a CEO, there are definitely alternatives such as various investment banks, big tech, and the food and beverage industry.
‘There probably aren’t many among Asians.’
There are no candidates.
Ash Dragon didn’t come either.
It’s understandable that you’re looking for me, though.
“Just for that reason?”
“Ah… Actually, there were panelists who said they were impressed by the speech on the first day. That played a significant role in the recommendation. I apologize for not being able to specify anything as I did not ask for the consent of the person involved.”
It’s not something you can say you want to do.
No matter how appropriate the personnel are.
‘Whether I like someone is another matter.’
It’s the same as in politics.
There are times when being a good listener is more important than being good at politics.
What if it’s not from us?
We often see cases of blatant exclusion and discrimination.
“Did Grandpa Buffett recommend it?”
“No way.”
“Why am I sure it’s not?”
“I saw him grab the back of his neck.”
The same logic applies.
The Sun Valley Conference is a place to discuss power.
‘It could have been influenced by the grandfathers who invited me.’
Process.
Actually, it doesn’t really matter.
It’s an opportunity I’ve been waiting for.
Shake the world with just one word.
The stage has been set for that to happen.
* * *
Power.
The reason it can be maintained for 1,000,000 years is because it can be managed.
“What about cooperation?”
“Except for the American people, it was impossible to attract everyone.”
“Enough.”
Lead the world in the desired direction.
And eliminate opposing public opinion.
‘What has been decided.’
All you have to do is declare it.
At a place where about 300 VIPs gathered.
It was prepared in advance.
Panels to attend, topics of discussion, and even results.
“Eco-friendly. Even as we speak, the Earth’s environment is being destroyed. Coincidentally, the only people who can stop this are the distinguished guests gathered here. I hope that concrete and realistic results will come out… Let’s begin the discussion.”
The host announces the start.
In reality, it is nothing more than a game of poker.
‘It’s a choice to strangle yourself.’
Sebastiano Agnelli smiles.
The repertoire is ready.
Asia.
It is so irresponsible towards the environment.
It emits the most carbon.
“Yes, Mr. Agnelli!”
“It’s a basic point, but I’ll point it out. Asia’s carbon emissions are too high. I don’t mean to point out a specific country, but panelist Lee Chan-wook’s home country is a representative example. Although it is an advanced country, it is engaged in energy production and manufacturing outside eco-friendly regulations. Global Isn’t it putting a huge burden on the eco-friendly policy?”…
This is in violation of the EU’s eco-friendly policy taxonomy.
The cross-check has been completed.
‘Try struggling hard.’
What if you support your country?
This means ignoring the eco-friendly policy.
There is no way such a company would be accepted by the international community.
What if you criticize your own country?
It is obvious that our position in Korean society will be narrowed.
It is a 100% sure checkmate.
Sebastiano looked at Lee Chan-wook with elation.
“I have doubts every time I hear the word eco-friendly.”
“What question is it? If it’s a question unrelated to the answer, later…”
“Why isn’t Europe criticizing China when it comes to eco-friendliness?”
“…”
Getting hit in the solar plexus of Europe.
