Chapter 781 – Moral Superiority
Speech.
〈Dear Earthlings, we stand before a turning point where we can save the Earth.〉
It was a provocative beginning.
But no one thought it was excessive.
It is a global concern.
There is no doubt that eco-friendliness is a global task.
〈Nevertheless, we are delaying. Different countries’ stances on the environment are holding us back.〉
The only problem is the process.
As many as 8 billion people on Earth must become one.
There is no way there will be cooperation.
Some people neglect it, while others pursue profit.
〈We have a precedent of successfully resolving the first climate crisis triggered by the ozone layer. I have no doubt that we can overcome this second climate crisis if we join forces with one mind and one will. 〉
Group assignment.
Just listening to it makes me angry.
I can imagine the worst ending.
Not so.
You can do it.
We open with hope by introducing successful precedents.
Match! Match! Mate!
Applause pours in.
However, some attendees sense a cold atmosphere.
〈The problem is that this eco-friendly trend is perceived as kicking down the ladder of weaker countries. It is interpreted as an economic invasion by powerful countries.〉
Previous process.
This is because there was a panel discussion.
I know what happened on the third day.
It can be inferred.
This is the real reason Lee Chan-wook is preaching eco-friendliness.
‘This bastard…’ …’
It soon turns into confidence.
An official statement contains meaning in every word.
A powerful country.
It is not a developed country.
It is similar but has completely different nuances.
“Doesn’t that sound like a criticism that the EU’s taxonomy is an economic invasion?”
Sebastiano Agnelli personally takes action to stop him.
The intention is to put pressure on Lee Chan-wook.
We stake Europe and prevent it from falling.
I was thinking of changing the flow of the speech.
〈Like the Western powers during the era of imperialism?〉
” Haha!””
“…”
You can’t even get your money’s worth.
Trap.
The same situation can be reversed 180 degrees depending on the word.
This is the PTSD that developing countries have.
European figures do not dare to refute it.
〈It means that it can be accepted that way. A united Earth cannot be achieved if only the voices of powerful countries are raised.〉
A solo stage unfolds.
Lee Chan-wook.
What he says has moral superiority.
That is correct.
It’s something that needs to be done.
That’s why support gathers.
“Will Europe accept it? It will cost a lot of money.”
〈Still, we have to do it.〉
“It’s a realistic story…”
〈Wouldn’t Europe also fail at least once to understand the sadness of weaker countries? 〉
” Haha!””
This is also the reason why Europe was able to push for eco-friendliness.
The root.
‘…’
It’s shaking.
Redefine the definition of justice.
Lee Chan-wook’s speech controls the chairman.
〈 A national decision is needed both for the sake of a green earth and to wash away the original sins of the past. A virtuous cycle in which powerful countries make more concessions and weaker countries repay with more active cooperation can be the only way to overcome the climate crisis.〉
It is correct in every detail.
You can’t say it’s wrong.
It’s just difficult to accept it purely.
‘No. This trend can never happen!’
Europe is forced to suffer losses.
Even the cause of protecting the environment is taken away.
‘The great powers.’
‘You’re making fun of the honeymoon between Europe and China.’
‘Either way…, It is a sound that is helpful to our national interests.’
Other countries.
It is the one who benefits.
It was difficult for developing countries.
The United States also maintains silence.
The Chinese community, the only group that would take their side, was not invited.
Match! Match! Mate!
Clap! Clap clap clap!
It ends with enthusiastic applause.
This is the last speech of the Sun Valley Conferrus.
It’s heartwarming.
Emphasizes the importance of the environment.
On the surface, it is interpreted that way.
The real intention is different.
I couldn’t imagine that it would change the global balance of power.
* * *
Private meeting.
Nevertheless, it was only a matter of time before the rumor spread.
CNN− “Billionaires expect 2022 to be the year of eco-friendliness”
Al Jazeera− 「A new eco-friendly paradigm from Sun Valley」
Korean Newspaper− “Lee Chan-wook stands in the center of Sun Valley… Emphasis on global eco-friendly policy”
Because that is work.
We cover news by any means necessary.
〈To overcome the climate crisis, the whole world must cooperate. Perhaps an obvious yet meaningful conversation was exchanged…〉
However, the difference in position is bound to be clear.
Even if you encounter the same incident.
〈It must be meaningful in that the VIPs invited to Sun Valley, not everyone else, came together.〉
〈You can say so.〉
〈Maybe this is a remark aimed at Trump? 〉
〈There is a possibility since he was the one who withdrew from the Paris Agreement! 〉
Interpretation varies.
American broadcasters are excited to report.
You can criticize Trump.
It can also remind us of the importance of being eco-friendly.
〈Is it said that eco-friendliness was emphasized at the Sun Valley Conference? 〉
〈Yes.〉
〈Ah…, I say so. Next news.〉
In Europe, it is overlooked.
Eco-friendliness is an important value to them.
‘We are evil. Western powers. That can’t be possible.’
It is also a means of instilling moral superiority.
It was denied from the beginning.
I can’t be in a happy mood.
European media does not cover it as major news.
〈Anyone who tries to undermine China’s interests and security will pay a heavy price.〉
China reacts violently.
The statement was made through the Global Times.
It is a sister publication to the Communist Party’s mouthpiece, People’s Daily.
It is in fact an official criticism.
“… It seems like things are being sorted out. However, there is only noise in the media and no statements have been made at the government level.”
Such a situation.
We are watching closely.
Sebastiano Agnelli receives the report.
‘The plan is because of that kid…’
It is a big picture looking at least 10 years.
The system will be reorganized focusing on Europe.
Become the beneficiary.
It is a structure that inevitably gives European companies an advantage.
“Then that means there will be no setbacks in the plan.”
“I think that can be said.”
“Are you sure?”
“Ah… That’s the case at this stage. Yes.”
All preparations have already been made.
Even before taxonomy was reviewed.
‘I won’t stand by and throw cold water on this perfect plan.’
America’s protectionism was the starting point.
It only supports domestic companies.
Europe must do the same.
Politicians and businessmen entered into negotiations.
“This is a major investment plan that will help Agnelli Group regain its standing. Failure is absolutely unacceptable.”
The result is an eco-friendly policy.
It can bring a cause.
We can make the whole world follow.
It is the turning point where that happens.
“Of course.”
“What can a little kid like that do?”
“It may be a bit expensive in Korea and the United States, but in Europe, it’s impossible.”
Huge investment.
Political/business connection.
I changed my constitution to be eco-friendly.
You can be the most ahead in the eco-friendly era.
The status of the Agnelli Group will increase.
‘Yes, there is nothing that bastard can do.’
The results of the Sun Valley Conference were disappointing.
I was dragged around by an irregular named Lee Chan-wook.
It’s definitely quite good.
I was caught off guard.
I also partially admit that I lost.
“You don’t have to be too sensitive. I have been in the business world for a long time, but the results of Sun Valley did not necessarily lead to changes in the market ecosystem.”
But the plan did not collapse.
Just as the group presidents are saying.
‘Sun Valley is Sun Valley.’
Social gathering.
It is by no means an official event.
All comments are processed informally.
Turn your palm over at any time.
If it suits their interests.
“Rather, only the importance of eco-friendliness has been emphasized. If Europe and China join hands, it is certain that they will monopolize the eco-friendly ecosystem.”
“That’s right!”
“I will make sure we don’t have to go as far as Chairman.”
He is holding the reins.
An eco-friendly ecosystem led by Europe, the world’s second-largest market.
‘It’s not something one monkey can do.’
Don’t show it.
I usually suppress it.
Racism is a sensitive topic.
But the inside didn’t change.
Just like his sons’ way of thinking.
“Apart from this investment plan, please prepare sanctions against that bastard… Lee Chan-wook. So that something unpleasant like this never happens again.”
Europe.
It has been the center of the world for centuries.
There is no country that has not been colonized.
It would be a lie to say that the pride of those days has completely disappeared.
Contempt toward people of color remains.
“This is an issue that not only our presidents but also executives are aware of.”
“They should never be allowed to set foot in Europe.”
“How can we compete with Asians?”
I will never forget the humiliation I suffered in Sun Valley.
It will always be returned with interest.
‘That’s the difference between you and us.’
Vested rights.
It is based on personal connections and cooperative relationships that have been built up over tens or hundreds of years.
It is clear which way the arm will lean in certain situations.
An invisible force exists.
This is something that developing countries in the East that are obsessed with exports do not have.
I was going to show you that.
“Society, Chairman. Report urgently now.”
“Is there any news?”
“They say there’s nothing to worry about with a guy like that.”
“That’s not it… CDS premium is soaring. It’s at the same level as the coronavirus incident two years ago.”
“”…””
The glass floor is about to collapse.
