[119] Immature and 100-year-old customers 1
Imagining hobbies made me laugh without even realizing it.
I had to go back to business while watching my father pay close attention to my expression.
“Dramas and games come later, but first, as I said, movies. We plan to have free as well as paid movie channels. Then gradually increase it.”
“It’s a cable broadcast…”
My father hadn’t thought of it like this yet, so he couldn’t agree or object.
“It’s not a distant future for my father’s cable channel to take over the airwaves. Look at America.”
Basic cable such as USA TNT FX MTV Syfy, as well as paid channels such as HBO and Showtime Starz, which are synonymous with paid cable channels, are also popular.
In particular, the United States produces its own original series in addition to rebroadcasts of public television programs.
The series will start sweeping Golden Globes and Emmys after 2000. The United States is where cable channels lead the entertainment sector.
“Okay. Will Korea really become like the United States? Even the content that is pouring out from three airwaves is overflowing?”
“We have to compete with a well-made drama with a unique program. Even if the restaurant is located in a remote location, customers will find it on their own. After all, isn’t quality content the key to channel business?”
“Theoretically, but…”
“This is a market that is starting to open. All we have to rely on and follow is theory after all.”
My father was deep in thought.
He may be ignorant, but if he said it painfully to this extent, he would probably know who he was thinking about.
However, the answer came that lightly exceeded expectations.
“Do-joon. There will be people who say that the plan you mentioned is possible and say that you can do it well. But most of them are scammers. Because this floor is full of scammers.”
“So you’re saying there’s no one suitable for you?”
Father nodded.
“It is difficult to organize an organization unless you are a tolerable businessman. At least 10 years, and there must be someone who can endure while reducing the deficit. Those who make money from the start are also scammers.”
maybe it’s good
He is not a fraudster, but he is a person who takes a cold-hearted view and rises to the top of the Chungmuro Power Man rankings in 10 years, but he cannot even read his son’s intentions.
“As expected, the only person I can trust is the one I thought of.”
“what? Did you ask me when you already had someone in mind?”
“yes. No matter how much I think about it, I can only think of him as the number one candidate. I was just asking if there were any other fathers.”
“Who is that person? Are you someone I know? Could it be that it wasn’t Oh Se-hyun?”
“Uncle Sehyeon is overwhelmed with work right now. The person I thought of learned management and economics properly in England, worked in the media field for 10 years, and now holds onto Chungmuro.”
This is normal enough to be aware of.
And my father was normal.
I couldn’t even blink my eyes wide open.
“I intend to pour money into it for exactly the next 10 years. The deficit has already been resolved. I only think of the media empire that will be completed in 10 years. Sow enough and you will reap in 10 years. True DCN was preparing for a multiplex. Takeover will start that too.”
Produce quality content and secure space and channels to consume that content. The puzzle picture is simple but large.
And the simpler the picture, the harder it is to solve the puzzle.
“Can I really do it?”
Her facial expressions and answers are subtle.
Are you hesitant because of the fear of failure, even though you can clearly see the desire to do it? Or was it the fear that he might blow away his son’s money and a lot of it?
I am not confident that I will succeed either. The money I have may not be enough to create a media group that dominates Korea.
Also, my father’s capabilities may not meet my expectations.
But what does it matter?
Money can be earned again, and failure will be another experience.
A media empire is not my first goal anyway. This is for our own family joy that Sunyang’s uncles and cousins never experience.
I am alone enough to struggle in the fight to claim my grandfather’s legacy.
My family wants to let them experience the joy of conquering new territories.
Anyway, I need to create a motivation to fill my father’s lack of confidence.
“If my father can’t do it, I can’t. I’ll look for someone else. No matter what happens, no matter how much money it costs, I will definitely start this plan.”
Is there a father who will watch his son get scammed by someone else?
“Do Joon-ah. Don’t be in a hurry. I need time to think. We need to see if there are people willing to join us and whether talented people will join us. No matter what anyone says, in the media, brilliant people are more important than money.”
“yes. It is still a long way from digging the first shovel in Sangam-dong. When construction begins, we will take over DCN and start, so think slowly and carefully.”
It is also heartwarming to see my father’s flushed face. He seems like a more passionate young man than I am.

“Youngjun borrowed some money from affiliates.”
“I heard that too… I guess I lost all the money?”
“sorry. I taught my child wrong.”
Chairman Jin sighed disapprovingly looking down at his eldest son who bowed his head.
“It’s a non-electronic Geji.”
Jin Young-ki was even humiliated, but Chairman Jin had a completely different meaning.
“Isn’t it because you resemble me that your children’s education is a mess?”
No matter what you say, it’s okay to criticize.
“By the way. Isn’t Yeong-joon a guy who is obsessed with making money? Why did I suddenly buy real estate?”
When Jin Young-gi hesitated without answering, Chairman Jin said.
“Did I stay silent because I didn’t know the development area? The country is also messy, and it is the first business Choi Seo-bang is doing, so I was careful not to go up in useless gossip. But why is Yeongjun out of nowhere?”
“Actually, we got the development information first.”
“okay? Did Seobang Choi tell you by any chance? Or is it Seoyoon?”
Jinyoung had the same thought. It is certain that the younger sister seduced Yeongjun through Dojun. And Choi Seo-bang hit the back of the head.
This was the scenario he was thinking of.
But couldn’t he say that he was beaten by his sister in front of his father?
“no. It seems that Dojunie accidentally saw the development plan…. It seems that the story came out while the two of them had a drink. Young-Jun took Do-Jun’s words as clues and looked around.”
“Do-joon?”
When Chairman Jin showed a sensitive reaction, Jin Young-gi felt sorry for him.
It’s because the appearance of slandering his precious grandson came out.
“It was probably just a passing word. The cause is because of Youngjun’s greed.”
When he hurriedly made an excuse, Chairman Jin cleared his throat once.
“What are you going to do with the past? The future is the problem.”
“I will handle it. Don’t mind too much.”
Chairman Jin was also not trustworthy about the eldest son who showed confidence. I thought this might not be an easy problem to solve.
“Younggi.”
“yes.”
“I don’t want to see my eldest son being beaten by his younger sister.”
When Jin Young-gi said exactly what he was worried about, he replied as if he had been waiting.
“I said I would take care of it. There will be no such thing.”
“okay. Go out.”
Jin Young-gi left the study with a bright expression on his face, feeling relieved that he had finished well without any reprimand.
As soon as he heard the sound of the door closing, Chairman Jin’s eyebrows twitched.
“Maybe it would be better. At that age, I couldn’t even guess who was aiming the arrow. ugh.”
President Jin knew who wrote the script as soon as the name Do-joon came up. Now, it was surprising that the grandson was slowly revealing his toenails.
And there was also an anxious mind.
If Do-joon wrote the screenplay, it wouldn’t have ended like this. It was clear that the climax had not come yet.
Chairman Jin himself felt uneasy because he did not know the end of this scenario.

“Hyung-nim, no senior… Ah, the mayor.”
“done. just call me bro Suddenly…”
The men who visited the Seoul mayor’s office looked a little nervous.
“So did you find out?”
“yes. As soon as my brother held a press conference, the district prosecutor’s office was in a frenzy trying to figure out who bought the land.”
“Isn’t Jin Young-joon that bastard?”
“yes. After all, the 3rd generation chaebol was different. This can only be described as sweeping. They are not in personal names, but are two corporations where Jin Young-joon is the major shareholder.”
“What is the funding source?”
“The Sunyang Group, of course.”
Mayor Choi smiled contemptuously.
“I got caught. yes?”
“But at the District Prosecutor’s Office, it’s quiet. If we dig more, we could certainly be accused of breach of trust or embezzlement, but as soon as Sunyang’s name came out, it was covered.”
“They are all Sunyang scholarship students. I have to repay you for the price of the rice cake.”
When the sound of rice cake price came out, the men looked puzzled.
“But brother. We also received money from Sunyang through my older brother. Isn’t it something we can’t do with our own hands?”
“I do what I do. You guys are inevitably being dragged along. And put your worries aside. Our father-in-law is never the one to brag about paying for rice cakes. I’m going to organize it with a line that cuts off the price of rice cakes for you guys. You know. That there is no one who rides with money for Sunyang.”
Even if you reassure her, she still doesn’t look good. It’s because of the price of the rice cake that will be cut off.
“You children! I’ll fill it all up, so let go of your expression.”
“thank you. older brother.”
He scratched the back of his head shyly and bowed his head.
“I’ll catch them both this time. I have to catch Jin Young-joon and catch the one who covered him. And you guys go in there.”
“The guy you are talking about is the chief prosecutor. it’s hard. Just ending it with Jin Young-joon…”
“Do you view the mayor of Seoul as water?”
“No, not that.”
“Listen. When the mayor grabs the microphone, the former press broadcasts act as speakers. Right now, the prosecution and the Ministry of Justice are on the ruling party side. I will demand a thorough investigation and special prosecutor in step with our opposition party. My nephew is going to get away with buying a land for business, not embezzlement by buying a lawyer.”
“Then there is no point in making noise…”
“The goal is to clear the line of the ruling party, the prosecution, who has been doing a cover-up and poor investigation. The key is to create a foundation for the prosecution to fully support me in the next presidential election after my term as mayor is over.”
“ah…!”
“Aren’t you the foundation? The Great Swordsman and the Central District Prosecutor’s Office must be secured with your line. Hehe.”
“also. Is it a presidential challenge?”
Mayor Choi’s juniors in the prosecutor’s office were in harmony when they heard the secretly floating rumors from their own mouths.
He is also the person closest to the title of the first prosecutor-turned-president. It’s not even a low possibility.
“okay. My first step in my challenge for presidency is to step on my mother-in-law’s house and get rid of the prosecution’s children. Look forward to it.”
“I look forward to when that first step will be.”
“Look forward to it. I’ll blow it up next week.”
Mayor Choi leaned his body against the backrest.
That figure was not that of an obsessive mother-in-law and son-in-law, but that of an arrogant prosecutor and proud husband.
