[045]Starting the hunt 1.
“Dojuna.”
“yes.”
Jin Yeong-joon looked at my flushed face and quietly whispered.
“Among our brothers, you are the only one who can serve as a human being. The other guys sing the song. Even if you grow old and mature, you don’t have the ability to run a company.”
I was dumbfounded and didn’t even laugh. The appearance of the cousins now is not different from Jin Young-joon’s 20s. Even in Jin Young-joon’s appearance now, Ssak-soo is not particularly visible.
As soon as I returned to Korea, I played with celebrities, and if I think about what the advertising model said a moment ago, doesn’t it mean that I called and played with them when I was living abroad?
“Honestly, I don’t care if you pass strabismus or become a prosecutor. Let’s do it together with that good hair next to me. You will become the number 2 of the Sunyang Group.”
Is it because you are wary of me? Or are you trying to get a really reliable right arm?
“Oh my god, does this handsome brother even have a good head? Then oppa is my lover from today.”
A pretty-looking kid clings to me and won’t fall off. The conversation was cut off because of this girl.
“You are quick-witted. Good luck. If my brother likes you, you’ve got a really good spawn. That kid who is a senior in high school is said to have hundreds of billions of dollars. haha.”
At the word hundreds of billions, the woman’s eyes lit up, and Jin Young-jun patted me on the shoulder and went upstairs. Wrapped around the waist of two women…
“The world is so unfair. He’s a 3-year-old conglomerate and has good hair. Tall with a handsome face. This is the perfect ideal type.”
“You were born pretty too. That’s why I’m here.”
She said as she untied her hands around my waist.
“Let me ask you one thing. How do you know my brother?”
“Are you more curious about that than who I am?”
“It must be a celebrity. or a wannabe Please answer any questions quickly.”
“This floor is narrow. If you know one kid who has risen a little bit, it’s an introduction after that. Get a number, meet and be introduced again. After a while, I will fill my phone with the names of female celebrities. But money will have to support it.”
Judging from the casual throw, it seemed that Jin Young-joon did not need Chae Hong-sa. Is it because you’re still young?
“And I am not a wannabe. debut soon An album is also being prepared.”
“singer?”
“huh. you know HOT Kids who debuted this summer.”
“okay. know.”
“It’s such a concept. Instead, the members are cute girls like me.”
is it a girl group? Then maybe…?
“how old are you?”
“Seventeen.”
oh my god! Isn’t it a goppiri?
“Wake. Don’t follow me around like this…. Cherish yourself.”
“……?”
I felt sorry for the girl staring at me when I blinked her round eyes.
What kind of old man’s nonsense is this?
I got up from the table, wanting to hide the embarrassment I felt because of the nonsense.
“It looks like there are a lot of empty rooms, so go get a good night’s sleep and rest. Be sure to lock the door.”
Before she could say anything, she came out.
thank god. If that kid had been an adult, he wouldn’t have been able to give up his lingering feelings so easily.
Breathing in the chilly winter air clears my mind.
Seeing the man dozing in the driver’s seat with the engine running is heartbreaking.
maybe you have a family Leaving a warm house behind, what kind of suffering is this? It’s so hard to eat and live.
When I opened the passenger seat door and sat down, the man jumped up.
“Sorry. I fell asleep.”
“it’s okay. I’m sorry to have kept you waiting so long.”
“Oh no. But please sit comfortably in the back seat.”
“I am neither the master nor the superior, but the back seat is uncomfortable. Let’s just go.”
After the car started, there was only silence for a while. The driver opened his mouth cautiously, as if he was uncomfortable.
“Would you like to listen to the radio? young master.”
“it’s okay. Rather, are you a young boy? It’s chicken meat.”
When I said it politely, the man glanced at my face in surprise.
“Do you work in the Group Strategy Office?”
“How did you know?”
“I often talk with my grandfather, who is the chairman. So you know that the planning office is divided into two parts. A part made up of talented people from prestigious universities who really plan group strategies. And…”
Looking out of the corner of his eye, his hand on the steering wheel trembled a little.
“A part made up of people from backward universities, like my older brother, who runs small errands for the immature bastards in our family and cleans up the poop. My older brother must belong to the latter.”
Veins swelled on the back of his hand as he gripped the steering wheel. Even his tightly pursed lips trembled.
shame contempt. I know that feeling.
“Your brother is much luckier than the strategists who come out of first-rate schools.”
“My me…?”
“President, think about your age. It’s eighty soon. How long will you live? When the president passes away, there will be four of my uncles and three aunts. Your eyes will be red to tear the sunyang group apart. The vice-president is going to dance with swords to eat alone.”
His face was filled with astonishment, with the emotion of shame and contempt gone.
“At that time, you can sell the secrets of this family that you know at a very high price. It’s a one-shot grab of money that top-tier students and strategists in the office can’t earn even if they live their lives.”
“You… what are you? What are you talking about?”
“The title ‘Bocchan’ is giving me goosebumps… but talking in a sloppy way is pissing me off. Let’s be careful.”
My eyes met his. did you understand?
“I’m tired, but I’ll close my eyes. Wake me up when I get home. older brother!”
He said nothing, only speeding up the car.
* * * On
January 22, 1997, four presidents of Korea Development Exchange Choheung Bank, including First Bank, the main bank of Hando Group, persuaded Chairman Chung of Hando Group for a full day.
“President. Everyone dies in this way. The government is concerned about the dispute over preferential treatment ahead of the presidential election.”
“Since the 18th, haven’t you already been unable to block bills worth 15 billion won? It’s practically bankrupt! Don’t you know the reality yet?”
“Think of the 850 subcontractors. More than 100,000 heads of households sit on the streets.”
“Just give up the management rights of the Chairman’s family. Then the Blue House will allow it. Because there is a reason to support the limit. The government also wants to prevent bankruptcy of the limit. If you give up management rights, we will not only provide emergency financial support, but also jointly manage funds with the bank.”
Chairman Chung ignored the earnest feelings of the bank presidents and let them go behind the scenes like talking about someone else’s house.
“Korea First Bank is 1.12 trillion, Korea Development Bank is 890 billion, Chohung Bank is 500 billion, and Korea Exchange Bank is 450 billion. This is the money I borrowed. right?”
Even though Chairman Choi was the party to the bankruptcy, he had a much more relaxed expression than the bank presidents.
Too Big to Fail is precisely because they know exactly the rules of immortality.
If Hando Group collapses, banks will find it difficult to cover trillions of won worth of non-performing loans. Although it is possible to push trillions of won once more, it is difficult to recover the lost trillions of won.
Chairman Choi did not think for a second that the bank would choose to destroy it.
However, Chairman Choi did not realize the seriousness of the situation.
The next day, on the 23rd, Hando Steel, which was building a steel mill in Dangjin on the west coast, collapsed. The decision of the politicians and the bank killed Chairman Choi.
As a result, the Hando Group, which ranks 9th in terms of credit management standards and 14th in terms of assets, has 22 domestic affiliates alone, putting it in a position to be dismantled.
The main banks were also shaken, and about 70 other financial institutions were also at risk.
Now, the wild beasts who are aiming for the mortally wounded prey start a fight. The heads of chaebols gathered under the pretext of an emergency meeting of the Federation of Korean Industries in the wake of the Han-do incident soon threw their hands away and fell out of the poker game when they learned that Sun-yang and Dae-hyeon, who were vying for the first and second place in the business world, coveted Han-do.
“I recently bought an abandoned school to use as a training center for factory workers. But what was the windfall? The trees growing along the wall of the abandoned school were very expensive. It was well over twice the purchase price of the closed school.”
Daehyun Group Chairman Joo Young-il said while fiddling with a cigarette.
The bankrupt Hando Steel and the soon-to-go bankrupt Hando Construction are no different from closing schools. If you cancel the bond and buy it at a bargain price, expensive trees will follow.
A piece of land owned by two companies. This land is a tree.
“Why are you fumbling around with cigarettes? Blood!”
“I have to put up with cigarettes in front of my eyes like this to succeed in quitting smoking. Chairman Jin also recently quit smoking, right? Be patient. Success in quitting smoking is when you don’t want to smoke even if there is a cigarette in front of you.”
Chairman Joo waved a cigarette in front of Chairman Jin’s eyes. It means to withdraw from the takeover battle of Hando Steel.
Chairman Jin snatched a cigarette and put it in his mouth with a smile.
“Is there any fire?”
When Chairman Jin held out his hand, Chairman Joo’s face hardened.
“You have to carry a fire to make the temptation stronger. Resist half-hearted temptation, who can’t?”
Chairman Jin held out his hand to Chief Lee Hak-jae, who was waiting by his side, and he politely handed over a lighter.
Chairman Jin, without hesitation, lit a cigarette and took a long sip.
I put my head on the chair and closed my eyes for a while, perhaps feeling dizzy from the cigarette smoke I inhaled after a long time.
“President of the state. Do you know that I stopped smoking because I was hurting myself? I quit smoking because I was getting older and the smell of old people got thicker. health? If I wanted to take care of that, I would have been an athlete, but I didn’t start a business.”
Chairman Joo’s eyebrows twitched.
This is Chairman Jin’s declaration that he will not give up on Hando Steel. It even shows a determination not to give up the acquisition even if it causes damage to the Sunyang Group.
“You should have finished the calculation? You have to pay 1 trillion won and 1 billion dollars to see the blast furnace at the steel mill. 1 trillion won has to be given to the limit construction that will follow. If Sunyang catches up with our Daehyeon Reis, it’s like making a bank ship?”
“Does it fall if your hands shake?”
Chairman Jin chuckled, and Chairman Joo bit his lower lip.
“It’s been a while since I did a good job. If the bank is strong, the country’s economy is good, right?”
There is no one who can follow when it comes to scratching people. Not too long ago, his grandson’s college entrance exam score turned his stomach upside down, and now he’s scratching his stomach with money.
Chairman Joo Young-il took a sip of the cigarette between Chairman Jin’s fingers. It is an action that shows the will to bear the loss.
The eyes of the two sparks intertwined in the air.
Pride was added to the purpose of acquiring a company that would benefit the group at a low price.
There is nothing more damaging to one’s self-esteem than when a rich person quits due to lack of money.
Chairman Joo felt as if he had a handful of sand in his mouth.
The acquisition amount, which was thought to be 1 trillion won, may double. Maybe more…….
* * *
“Chairman. You were a bit harsh. Chairman Joo, will you prepare well?”
“Did you see that?”
“yes. Looking at this evil gate, I think I will use more than 2 trillion.”
“Uh heh heh. As long as that friend has a temper, that’s all it is.”
As if he didn’t care about Lee Hak-jae’s concerns, Chairman Jin even burst into laughter.
“This is not the time to laugh. The government urges creditors to reduce the aftermath of bankruptcy. Bidding will start immediately. I set aside 1 trillion won and 1 billion dollars… but that’s all.”
“What about Daehyun?”
“Last year, a lot of oil money came in. Since the non-price factors are similar anyway, the side that pays the higher amount wins. In terms of financial power, we will be pushed aside.”
Chairman Jin rolled down the window of the running car. A freezing cold wind rushed into the car.
“Are there games with only one rule? The rules of the game are many. Foul play and misjudgment are part of the game.”
“Do you have any other options?”
“When the bond review team is formed, create a position. They are going to suffer, so I have to buy them a meal.”
Even Dae-hyeon can pass money envelopes to creditors.
Lee Hak-jae had no idea what Chairman Jin was thinking.
