[118] From a light jab 4
“Miss. The vice-president is looking for you.”
I woke up to the sound I heard outside the bedroom. What is to come has come.
When I came to my senses and went downstairs to the living room, I saw my husband, who seemed less sober, with his head hanging down.
“It’s all about flirting. Tsk tsk.”
Vice-Chairman Jin Young-ki clicked his tongue once and then turned cold again.
“Baby. did you drink too? Are you still sober?”
“Oh no. father. My body is a bit heavy…”
“Is it bad enough to skip breakfast?”
I hated my father-in-law who kept questioning me even though I knew the obvious situation, but I just lowered my head without saying a word.
“Baby. From now on, stop listening to what I have to say and inform your parents.”
“…yes.”
I was afraid of what to say, but the expression and tone of my father-in-law were so severe that I had to do as he was told.
“You never bought land. got it?”
“yes?”
“You don’t know anything about how much land you bought under your name. Your father, or someone from your family bought the land without your knowledge. You never said you would lend your name. In short, you have nothing to do with this matter. Did you understand?”
“Ah father. That… that…”
That sounds impossible.
Didn’t Hong So-young walk around Susaek-dong while receiving the precious treatment of real estate agents?
She is the daughter of a media family. Even a new reporter knows that he can’t miss the fact that he checked and bought the land himself after visiting a few real estate offices.
“Have you not understood what I am saying yet? What would happen if it became known that the first thing the Sunyang family’s eldest daughter-in-law did after getting married was land speculation? Are you going to disgrace the whole family?”
The father-in-law said without hesitation. no ordered
“If you have even one line of article that anyone can know that you are, on the day I fly, not only you but also your family will pay a harsh price.”
“yes.”
Even if you think about the method later, you have no choice but to answer in compliance.
“And our eldest son.”
“yes. father.”
“Raise your head. That way I won’t even hit you on the cheek. Isn’t it kind of like hitting a grown child in the back of the head? You can’t make your already bad hair worse.”
Jin Yeong-joon gritted his teeth to hold back the burst of lust. He slowly raised his head, but his father’s hand did not move.
Jin Yeongjun, who was encouraged by this appearance, opened his mouth.
“father. I will solve this.”
“you? how?”
His father’s face with the corner of his mouth raised is certain that he was laughing at himself. But now I had to please my father as best I could.
“I bought a small amount of land in my name. Most of them were purchased under corporate names. And I hand it over to the corporation at the purchase price of the land in my name.”
“and?”
“I have to leave it until it calms down.”
“Leave it? Land prices are falling day by day?”
“Anyway, there is no deal right now. Even if I offer to sell it, no one will buy it.”
“How many times more did you pay for the land where no one lives?”
I pretended not to hear my father’s sarcastic remarks.
“When the development of Sangam-dong begins, the land will find its place. It is a place with a road in between. Absolutely go up There is no loss if you sell it back then.”
“I see. Someday you’ll make money Since the development period is 10 years… about 10 years from now. Hey! Say that!”
Just as Vice Chairman Jin Young-ki’s arm was about to rise, Hong So-young hurriedly opened his mouth.
“Ah father. Uncle, no… I will meet Auntie and solve it.”
“You keep quiet!”
Jin Yeongjun screamed, but it was already too late.
“I forgot about our new baby. Yes, if you have a good idea, let me know. hurry.”
“Your uncle held a formal interview, but you need to hold off on additional formalities for a moment. In the meantime, I’ll spread rumors to Gangnam businessmen. It’s just a breather to cool off the overheating of speculation, but it’s going ahead as planned. Then we can sell it in no time.”
Hong So-young thought it was an opportunity that might not come again and poured out words like a rapid-fire cannon.
“Oh my. Looking at it now, my daughter-in-law’s hair is not normal. Then he came up with a trick in an instant.”
Looking at her father-in-law’s expression, Hong So-yeong knew why her husband was trying to cover her mouth.
The trembling of the muscles in his face shows how angry he is. And he didn’t miss the look of contempt.
I forgot about it for a while because I was in a hurry. What this kind of people hate the most is repeating the same thing twice.
“Baby. You go upstairs right now and pack your things.”
“yes?”
“Pack your bags and go to your parents’ house. Don’t come back until I’ve completely erased your traces in this matter. Did you understand?”
“yes!”
Hong So-yeong climbed up to this floor as if running away.
Vice Chairman Jin Young-ki wanted to sever his son’s head, but he held back.
Shouldn’t the father be responsible for the accidents and accidents of the poor child?
* * *
Uneasy.
My uncle, who was moving according to the script, started plotting things that were not even planned. They said the result would be the same, but I am anxious that if I go wrong, it will end in a fuss without any gain.
Fucking Jin Young-joon might be in the hands of his uncle. The words that come out of the mouth of those who hold the power, whether there is a secret line or a real person, have power.
For the time being, I have to watch my uncle’s movements.
And…
I also have to put another plan of mine into action. It’s going to be a bit difficult this time.
Because this plan is neither using a known future nor fighting an opponent. You have to instill desire in people who don’t have a lot of greed.
Persuasion is much easier to incite desire than to stimulate the other person’s good will. A person who is not greedy has no hole in the heart to touch. That is why the first step is to stimulate the fire of desire.
And the person without much greed is smiling at me right now.
“Seeing my son’s serious face makes me nervous. What? That serious expression?”
“Usually, I should smile and say it at times like this, but it doesn’t work out.”
“If something good happens, you should smile. Why can’t you laugh?”
“It’s nice, but it’s a big deal.”
“A big deal?”
“yes. It’s putting the first piece of the big puzzle that will be completed in ten years and twenty years. I prepared puzzle pieces and frames to decorate the puzzle, but there is no one to solve the puzzle.”
The smile disappeared from his father’s face.
“Looking at you telling me that, it sounds like you’re asking for help?”
“yes.”
“Then let’s hear what it is. Let’s see if I’m the right person.”
“Does your father know? My aunt announced the New Seoul Town, also known as Digital Media City.”
“okay. Sehyeon and you started it, right?”
“Yes. I didn’t see the project as just a construction project.”
“then? Anything else?”
“It’s just like the name. We will build a media city.”
My father frowned as if he didn’t understand at first, then opened his eyes wide.
“Right. You wanted not only the shell, but also the kernel.”
They seem to have realized that the shell is a building and the core is a media company.
“yes. Now, the era has moved from analog to digital. It is also a symbol of the new millennium. The pace of development of communication networks and electronic products is faster than people can imagine. I want to fill Sangam-dong with huge media companies.”
Maybe because of my appearance, you didn’t think it was nonsense. Rather, it shows curiosity.
“A film company, an independent production, a record label, a promoter, etc. There are many media companies. But this floor is a thorough division of labor. It is impossible to knead everything.”
“Is it really so?”
smiled softly and spoke.
“You don’t have to go far. Just look at Sunyang Group right now. From electronics to food, it’s a bundle. The reason the media market has grown so far is because it was so small, not because it was impossible.”
My words won’t sound far-fetched. Aren’t they all sons of a kneading family?
“Look at the market. Dramas with viewership ratings of 60% come out one after another, and albums selling more than 2.5 million copies are pouring out. Titanic is trending to exceed 5 million viewers. Is there a law against making a movie that surpasses 10 million viewers in the future? The market is growing at a tremendous rate right now.”
Since he is a working father, there is no way he would not know this. However, the puzzle is too big.
I wouldn’t worry about it if it was 100 or 200 pieces, but what I’m talking about is 2000 or 3000 pieces.
Now it’s time to talk about the 10,000 piece.
“It’s not just film broadcast music. I also think about the whole channel business.”
“channel? Are you talking about the broadcasting company?”
“yes.”
I felt sorry for my father who had forgotten to speak with his mouth wide open. A brief explanation is needed.
Now, when we talk about broadcasting or channels, we only think of airwaves. Cable broadcasting is still at an insignificant level.
“Don’t get me wrong. not airwaves. Why don’t you start with the cable broadcasting company? You have to start simple.”
“Hey. Are you modest? Do you think the cable business is easy? It is not easy to apply for business and obtain permission. And now most cable broadcasting is in the red.”
“So it’s humble. You can start by taking over a broadcasting company that is suffering from a loss.”
“Take over?”
“yes. Isn’t there something already for sale?”
“DCN?”
It is a movie channel launched in March 1995.
Even though it is a free movie channel, it suffers from a dire loss as it continues to bleed recklessly to secure foreign currency. In addition, the company is on the verge of bankruptcy due to the foreign exchange crisis now that it has entered the multiplex cinema business.
It is a well-known fact in the industry that it is not the subject of media attention because so large conglomerates collapse.
“Isn’t film your father’s specialty? Foreign currency can also be supplied without any problems. American Miracle Investment is a big Hollywood investor. It is easy to secure the Korean publication rights. How is it? Isn’t that just right?”
It was possible to secure the most important content in channel operation, so it suddenly turned into a realistic plan.
Acquisition funding?
My father never had to worry about money. Because I already know that my son is very rich.
“I plan to start with movies and gradually increase the number of channels. Drama music game….”
“Game?”
My father, who had been silently listening, reacted when an odd word came out.
Oops, I could say this slowly…. As I was talking, my selfishness came out of nowhere.
“The highest viewer rating on the animation channel Tooniverse was a segment called ‘Plus Game’ that started last year. Not just kids, but grown-ups too.”
The 1999 Progamer Korea Open, the predecessor of Star League, which will start next year, will open the door to game broadcasting.
Before that, you need to secure a game channel.
Only then can I invite friends like Lim Yo-hwan, Lee Yun-yeol, Hong Jin-ho, and Guillaume Patry to play StarCraft.
Of course, the board will be broken, but isn’t it also in Go? It’s called a map country. My grandfather also invited Cho Hoon-hyeon, a national hand, and said that he sometimes holds a map game.
One cannot live by working alone. Sometimes I need to cool my head while playing games.
If I improve my skills, I will do some 2:2 team play.
“Why are you smiling?”
“Oh no.”
