The Legend of Return
Chapter 340. Bait
“Who is coming?”
“Jang Tae-san has come.”
“oh! okay!”
Steven Benson, head of the Seoul branch of HSBC’s Hong Kong Commercial Bank, was stunned by the report from his assistant, Kang Yun-moo.
It was Jang Tae-san, whom the head office had repeatedly asked to keep an eye on.
The man who came to me during the winter vacation of my sophomore year of high school and borrowed 100 million dollars without fear came to me.
“Shall I bring it?”
“Dr. Kang. You don’t have to bring it, you have to bring it! If Jang Tae-san visits in the future, bring him to my room unconditionally!”
Steven Benson scolded assistant manager Kang Yun-moo.
“sorry.”
Kang Yun-moo bowed his head.
“Go ahead and get me!”
“All right.”
Kang Yun-moo quickly left the office.
“I don’t have such a sense of humor…”
Kang Yun-moo didn’t seem to know what position Jang Tae-san was.
He was a VVIP with checks coming in from the head office several times a month.
Stephen got up and straightened his clothes.
In the past, he was just a little boy, but now he is a big customer.
The scale of the business Jang Tae-san was carrying out in Korea was jaw-dropping.
In addition to that, he was also the Korean partner of Robert Ryan, the sun of Wall Street.
It was Steven who found out through information from the top how the Ahn group was cooked.
Sooner or later, you will have to go back to the main office.
It would be helpful if you left a track record before that.
smart.
After a while, a knock was heard.
“Come in.”
The door swung open.
And Jang Tae-san, who showed up.
“!!!”
Steven, who was waiting at the entrance and faced Jang Tae-san, flinched.
It wasn’t that long, but it was difficult to find the appearance of Jang Tae-san that I had seen in the past.
Since we had been so young since we first met, our faces and physiques were similar to those of that time.
However, the atmosphere was very different.
While I was in Korea, I met many big names in the Korean refinery industry.
The force exuded by Jang Tae-san was stronger than those of the giants.
“long time no see. Manager Steven Benson.”
Jang Tae-san asked for a handshake first.
“Nice to meet you again. CEO Jang.”
Stephen’s tone was infinitely polite.
Steven erased all memories of the past.
He was a monster who had borrowed 100 million dollars from his childhood days.
Now, even if it was Steven, it was a difficult opponent to look at.
“Please call me Daniel.”
Daniel smiles.
“Have a seat. Shall we have black tea?”
“I still miss the scent of the black tea I drank then.”
“Fortunately, the.”
Stephen nervously drank the tea.
Assistant Manager Kang Yun-moo, who was watching, found this situation extremely awkward.
I even knew that I had received ridiculous investment funds in the past.
However, he thought that the manager of the world was not an opponent to deal with so difficultly.
Jang Tae-san was hardly known in Korea.
In addition, secretary Kang Yun-moo did not receive high-ranking information, so Jang Tae-san’s leisure and composure were more unfamiliar.
I was only 21 years old in Korean age.
It’s been a long time since I’ve seen such a confident person in front of the Seoul branch manager of a world-class bank, HSBC.
No, it would not be an exaggeration to say that it was almost the first time.
The Minister of Finance and Economy also came and asked for help from Stephen Benson, who was serving him.
“This is a new black tea. Have a drink.”
“It smells different.”
“!!!”
Kang Yun-moo was surprised.
The branch manager did not hesitate to serve the finest black tea he cherished.
It was a car exclusively for the British royal family, which was difficult to obtain.
He generously served black tea, which he usually drank from time to time when he was in a very good mood.
I did not recommend it to Kang Yun-moo, who was next to me.
Branch manager Steven’s sincerity was directed only to Jang Tae-san.
“Hmm~ that’s good. The slightly bitter taste in the mouth neutralizes the sweet taste. It is excellent.”
“oh! Do you know the taste? ha ha ha.”
Steven laughed happily.
Just like that, tea time was ripe.
“I have a request from the branch manager.”
“Please? Please speak.”
“…..”
Jang Tae-san looked back at Kang Yun-moo, who was waiting.
“Leave Deputy Kang out.”
“….All right.”
I wanted to hear it, but it was not allowed.
Kang Yun-moo once again confirmed Jang Tae-san’s status with his own eyes and quietly withdrew.

“I would like to take out a loan.”
“A loan?”
During that time, I also grew up a lot.
The Seoul branch manager of HSBC, which was difficult in the past, now looked like a branch manager of a local bank.
Stephen Benson, with his curly blonde hair, was getting older by then.
The office, which had been antique and even felt out of place, now looked plain to the eyes.
I saw a lot of good things over the past two years, so I was able to compare them.
It was just about the level of an ordinary British man’s office.
“Is it impossible?”
“No, that’s…”
Steven panicked when he suddenly came and said he would take out a loan.
I lightly crossed my legs.
It was a skill that only rich people could naturally cast.
Stephen didn’t react at all to my attitude.
Your head will be cluttered.
It seems that he thought he would appear suddenly and have a casual conversation.
“Suddenly, why is the loan…”
“I invested in stocks, but the recent financial crisis in the US is causing serious losses. I think it will rise….. Stocks are not as easy as I thought. Even just two years ago, they fit so well…”
Steven’s eyes twinkled.
This is the moment when the latest information about me is upgraded.
“So I’m going to take a water ride.”
“Would you like to take a bath?”
Steven makes an absurd expression.
This is the first time you will see a madman in this district who confidently asks for a loan for water riding in front of the branch manager of Hong Kong Commercial Bank.
“Don’t you know how to ride?”
“No… I know that.”
“I bought my mother a school, but money is tight. I also bought an art gallery. come sometime There are many good works.”
Being proud was a bonus.
Anyone can see that he was ruined after spending money.
“How much money do you need for a loan?”
British men were polite.
“About a billion dollars, I think.”
“One billion dollars?”
“why? No money in the bank?”
“…..”
Stephen comes to me without an appointment and takes a slow look at me when I tell him about a billion dollars for water riding.
“Puhahahahahahahaha.”
He suddenly burst into laughter.
“Are you crazy?”
“Ha ha… no.”
At a time when the exchange rate was soaring, the dollar was more valuable than anything else.
Asking for a billion dollars for such a dollar made me laugh.
It often happens that you can’t control your behavior when you’re embarrassed.
It would be the first time in Steven’s life that such an absurd case occurred.
“Do you have any collateral?”
After putting together a smile, Stephen asked with a straight face.
As a banker, the basics were solid.
“There are stocks of things jointly purchased with companies recommended by Robert Ryan. Do you accept them?”
“I think we should get an evaluation.”
“Yes? This is really….. It’s not easy to borrow money. What is a billion dollars… tsk tsk.”
tongue-in-cheek
Even though he acted like he was lacking, his eyes smiled at Steven.
Even if Steven didn’t show it, the skeleton would be complicated.
came looking for it
Here, the Hong Kong Merchant Bank was the invisible connection point between the Knight Commander and the group under Hong Kong’s Li Jiangchang.
Stephen didn’t seem to know much about me.
It is said that it is not the leadership.
I spilled outrageous information to him.
The Korean public authorities and bank information were shit, so they would easily find out about me.
All the stocks I bought thinking they were going to fall were in a vertical fall.
My account or investment money was a ruined profit structure that anyone could see fell into the minus and struggled.
If other people who do not know the future saw it, Mangjo Phil was certain.
But after a year, the stock bounces.
only i knew that
“If you provide collateral, we will evaluate it and give you a loan as much as possible.”
Stephen came out textbook.
It was normal for a branch manager to come out like that.
“is it so? I’m sorry about this. But I thought it would be easy because we knew each other…”
He expressed regret and got up from his seat.
“Are you leaving already?”
“We should look into other banks. If you do water riding, it will hit the jackpot after a year… People don’t know that.”
“Maybe?”
“sure. If you look at it a year from now, you will hit the ground and regret it. What kind of people is the United States going to ruin? It’s all crafty.”
I pretended to know something and replied.
“Then see you next time.”
“I’d like to serve you a meal.”
“Call the company and get me. Let me introduce you to a restaurant that the manager doesn’t know about.”
shook hands
And…
“Ah! I almost forgot something important.”
“Any…..”
“My friend Ryan asked me if I was willing to buy HSBC stock because it was cheap… I really don’t know how to answer this…” “
!!!”
Stephen is startled for a moment.
You won’t see me in my sane mind who treats me sick, gives me drugs, teases me, and makes fun of me.
“Robert has a big barrel. I made a lot these days, so I just spent about 10 billion dollars. Borrowing money between friends was embarrassing, so I couldn’t say it… Big.”
I threw a large scale bait.
“We will contact you as soon as possible!”
Branch Manager Steven Benson, who takes the bait and flutters.
I could see his eyes twitching violently.
“Then see you next time.”
I parted ways with Steven, who shook hands and shook his hand and bowed his head.
A slight smile formed on his lips while his back was showing.
Li Zhangqiang and the European organization will be busy figuring out the purpose of today’s visit.

“Whew…..”
Hak-pil sighed in the dark alley of Sillim-dong.
I didn’t play and eat, but it wasn’t easy to study.
The last few years I lived while working part-time because of family circumstances.
One or two of my classmates and juniors who passed the exam started to appear.
On the other hand, studying abroad was not an environment in which to focus on studying for the bar exam.
“It was all my fault. But not from now on!”
The study abroad student gave strength.
With the help of a junior, he received a scholarship and jumped into the bar exam in earnest.
As law schools began in earnest in 2009, law schools disappeared.
It was a war from now on.
Even if you pass the bar exam, if you are not appointed as a judge or prosecutor, you have to fight fiercely with law school graduates for the lawyer market.
Every moment of life was a battlefield.
Since he graduated from the Department of Law at Korea University, he was harassed by his superiors in the military.
And when I came back to school, I was treated as a returning student who couldn’t even study.
If you’re good, you’re good, if you’re bad, you’re ugly The world didn’t leave people alone.
For that reason, I tried to become stronger.
“thanks….. Jang Tae-san.”
Jang Tae-san relieved his family and his worries with a scholarship.
Confucian scholar who once heard the sound of a genius, sincerely thanked Jang Tae-san and devoted himself to his studies.
I don’t know what price he will ask for in the future, but Jang Tae-san was the savior more than anyone else in the world.
“If you’re so grateful, would you buy me a glass of soju today?”
“uh! Taesan!”
The trustworthy appearance of a junior smiling next to me when he appeared.
“call?”
“Cole!”
Yu Hak-pil was shoulder to shoulder with Jang Tae-san without hesitation.
A grateful junior who occasionally visits to buy himself meat even while he is busy doing business.
‘I’m sure…… I’ll pass! For Taesan!’
While walking down the street, he made a promise to study abroad.
It didn’t seem like a bad idea to throw my life away for this wonderful junior.
I knew that the bait of life thrown by my juniors was not free.
It was good though.
Jang Tae-san, who finds confidence and spares no encouragement.
To Hak-pil, he was the most reliable guardian.
