[131]A slice of pie 2
Chairman Jin took one more bite. like taking medicine.
“really! You will take care of the professional team yourself.”
“Oh father.”
“why?”
Seeing Chairman Jin staring at him fiercely, Jin Sang-gi became a dumb drunk.
“Are you complaining? For giving me a bunch of foundations?”
“Oh no.”
Jin-sang shut his mouth at the glance of his older brother. Didn’t he decide early on to ride the same boat with Vice Chairman Jin Young-ki anyway?
He believed that his eldest brother would not leave him to do Foundation work.
The eldest brother carefully brought up the question on behalf of everyone.
“father. So, who’s on the finance side…?”
“For now, I want to keep watching. why? Do you want to kick me out as an old man in the back room as soon as possible?”
“Don’t talk like that. no.”
Jinyoung hurriedly waved his hand.
“Well… I wanted to break it down into pieces, but it’s incredibly complicated to sort out the stakes, so it takes time.”
Chairman Jin gave a plausible reason like an excuse, but no one in the study believed it.
The owner of the group’s financial branch is not in this room. I had no doubt that the insidious maknae who smokes jokes on adults outside was the owner.
“Starting this year, I will start distributing my stake as I split. When that’s all over, I’m going to split the finances. Don’t be impatient and wait.”
Is that statement true? The kids couldn’t give up their expectations.
It is okay to give Sunyang Asset Management to the youngest member of the family. but not the rest
There is still time. Within that time, we must stop the group’s money from going to the wrong guy.
It was the common thought of the three sons.
“Just go back today. Today, the presidents and executives didn’t let me come to the New Year’s greetings. Those bastards should be waiting in front of your house by now. Go and give me some pocket money.”
As the five children left the study in a row, Lee Hak-jae and Chairman Jin let out a long sigh.
“Even if I give these guys, I’m dissatisfied.”
“It must be because you know that you didn’t receive it completely.”
“You can’t just sit there and wait for it to fall. Now that we’ve clearly marked the territory, we’ll take it if we’re greedy.”
Lee Hak-jae smiled calmly.
“You don’t want to split the group, either.”
“Korean companies can only survive when they come together.”
“yes?”
It is Chairman Jin who suddenly throws out an absurd sound.
“It doesn’t matter if you look at it one by one. Even if you only look at the pure positive electrons, yes. Semiconductor white goods and mobile phones. Because we push and pull each other, we endure and climb up. If it wasn’t for semiconductors, the home appliance division would have been closed.”
“Just like how heavy industry improved the competitiveness of cruise shipbuilding?”
“yes. Didn’t you have a life? There are a lot of companies that would have shut down due to financial difficulties.”
Then pick just one and give it all. Why are you playing this game?
Lee Hak-jae asked this question countless times. just didn’t say it out loud.
If it had been Chairman Jin Yang-cheol, who was a bit younger, he might have already picked someone, but now that he has become an old man, he must have thought a lot about it.
I would like to give Sunyang Group to all my children, but I have to choose whether to share it or drive it. And as much as I think about it, I postpone the decision.
And today a new variable has appeared.
The retainers who silently raised and protected Sunyang. If you don’t get their support, you may lose what you’ve already gained.

All the family trembled in Busan as they hurriedly left Chairman Jin’s mansion. The daughters-in-law and grandchildren came out as if being chased, not knowing why.
When each of them got into the waiting car in front of the main building, Jin Young-gi called his younger brother.
“It’s Yoongi. See me.”
Moving to a quiet place, Jin Young-gi took out a cigarette and asked.
“Have you talked to your father beforehand?”
“What are you talking about?”
“The financial affiliate.”
“no. This is the first time I am talking about the division of the series. Well… it’s nothing special. Oh, my sister was a little surprised.”
“It’s true?”
“older brother. don’t turn around What do you want to say?”
“Didn’t that be Do-joon’s share?”
As Jin Young-gi sharply scanned his brother’s expression, Jin Yoon-gi nodded.
“I think so too.”
“what?”
“Hasn’t Do-joon already shown an outstanding sense of investment despite his young age? It would be hard to find a more suitable person to take over Sunyang’s finances.”
“hey!”
Jin Young-gi screamed out loud at his brother’s calm appearance.
“Are you handing over a bankbook now?”
“Whether it’s a bankbook or a financial institution, it’s money anyway. The size difference doesn’t hurt the fit.”
“This is not a matter of fit or not. Are you saying this without knowing how much stake Sunyang Life Insurance owns in affiliates?”
“Doesn’t the water product hold that much? And even the insignificant Sunyang Precision Machinery owns quite a few group stocks. It didn’t look like they split it up anyway, right? Aren’t they grouped together?”
Vice-Chairman Jin Young-ki started glaring at Jin Yoon-ki, who answered without losing a word.
“so? Financial companies with a lot of stake are rolling in, so you’re saying you want to take a place in Sunyang Group? You’ve been dead until now, and you’re exposing your claws by raising your son?”
Jin Yoongi let out a long sigh and bit his lip.
“It’s not mine. All I have is the hospital and the training center. You heard my father…”
“Hey! Saying that now…! Are you asking me to look at you separately from a kid who has just turned 20?”
“I never asked to see you.”
Another sigh came out.
“older brother. If my father said he would give me finances, I would give in. I’m honestly not interested. However, if I pass it on to my son, I cannot say that I should yield to my older brother. After becoming a parent, I have never given a bowl of rice that has changed. But isn’t it impossible to break the rice bowl you inherited?”
Looking at his younger brother who was still calm, Jin Young-ki sighed.
“Let’s think realistically. How true do you think your father will be if he lives in the future? What if Do-joon takes over the finance company in his mid-twenties?”
To be honest, Jin Yoongi did not draw a good picture. No matter how clever a son may be, he cannot surpass his age.
“If Do-joon rises in a state where the Sunyang Group affiliates are separated, Yeouido guys like hungry ghosts will enter the operation. To take over a huge insurance company that is no different from Muju Gongsan. Are you confident to protect your son?”
Jin Yoon-gi looked at his older brother blankly and then moved on.
“Isn’t it funny how we look? Isn’t it the first thing you drink from kimchi soup?”
“It’s Yoongi!”
Jin Yoon-gi ignored Jin Young-ki’s cry and hurried his steps. It’s obvious that nothing good will come out anyway. From the first day of the new year, I didn’t want to have a long argument without an answer.

Like relatives returning home suddenly, my family came out. As we were about to get into the car, my uncle with a serious expression called my father and we waited for him.
At this time, I found a familiar face waiting on one side of the front door and ran to it.
“Chief Kim.”
“Ah, manager.”
Deputy Kim Yoon-seok held my hand tightly with a happy expression.
“How are you feeling? Are there any uncomfortable places?”
“it’s okay. I lost all my muscles and became a weak bone, but I will continue to take care of my body, so I will soon be like before.”
Seeing him tap his thighs as if nothing had happened, I felt sad.
If you have the energy to move that you can’t rest even if you’re sick, you have to work…. I know it well.
“By the way, why didn’t you contact me? You heard from your grandfather that you were placed under Chief Lee Hak-jae.”
“That’s… I was given a strict order never to contact the manager.”
Deputy Kim scratched his head and said.
Grandpa, who was trying to figure out the number of shoots, did something unexpected. Lee Hak-jae, the head of the department…?
At first, I was worried that I could last for a few days, but I didn’t hear that it had been cut. Looking at his bright appearance, he seems to be able to endure it.
“how is it? Is it worth it?”
“great.”
Kim smiled softly. It wasn’t exaggerated, so it was nice to see.
“I think I got a little glimpse of how the person at the top lives.”
“How does he live?”
“Does it work like magic in my eyes?”
“is it so?”
“yes. He makes sure that every word given by the president spreads evenly throughout the group… and he coordinates it very delicately. I gently appease the bosses and executives, and sometimes they intimidate me. I saw a lot of tightrope walking.”
Respect and admiration showed on the face of Assistant Manager Kim as he spoke.
“You will learn a lot.”
“We are still far away. You have to be naughty to learn. It is also urgent to figure out what is what.”
“If you listen carefully and look closely, you will see it someday.”
These are not mere words of encouragement. it was figured out by experience. At this time, I heard a voice calling me from behind.
“Do-joon!”
When I turned around, Sangjun hyung was beckoning.
“See you again. I will wait for the day when Assistant Manager Kim returns to me.”
I ran to the car, leaving Assistant Manager Kim bowing his head.

From the first day of the new year, Jin Young-gi and Jin Dong-gi’s house held a New Year’s party reminiscent of a president’s meeting.
Now, he is the vice chairman in name and reality, not the son of the chairman, and has become a powerful person who holds the personnel rights of the president of the affiliate.
Jin Seo-yoon was the same.
Seeing the bosses and executives waiting in front of his house, waiting for him to come back, he felt like flying.
Their attitudes and eyes were clearly different from yesterday.
Because of her lineage as the president’s daughter, she couldn’t help but show the arrogant attitude of handing out the approval documents.
Didn’t he carefully enter the house holding his heels, fearing that his footsteps would resonate loudly?
“Everyone please sit down. Let’s skip the New Year’s greetings. We have to deal with more urgent matters.”
Jin Seo-yoon first turned around the debt situation.
“That is our debt. Starting this month, I have to pay a huge amount of interest to my family. Put your heads together and come up with a money management plan.”
As soon as they saw the number, everyone frowned. It is a business that has already been hit by a direct hit from the IMF, and it seemed to have a hunch that it would suffer from considerable financial pressure in the future.
Jin Seo-yoon pretended not to see their embarrassing expressions and opened her mouth again.
“And I will announce from the first greeting. The owner of Seocho Department Store.”
“yes.”
“I am changing my position to the president of Myeongdong Department Store. And the president of Myeongdong Department Store is appointed as the CEO of Sunyang Distribution. Concentrate on succeeding in the large discount store chain business that will be launched this year.”
“yes. All right.”
Isn’t it self-evident that Sunyang Distribution, which will become the parent company, have to sit down with the closest people? The president of Sunyang Distribution also had a calm expression, as if he had already foreseen it.
“The president of Soonyang Distribution is appointed as the president of Seocho Department Store. Please be careful not to disrupt the business takeover.”
“yes.”
If the heads are arranged, the people who will use their hands and feet will automatically find their respective seats.
Seeing that the aged and worn-out bosses are stuck, it must be that my father gave them a firm command.
It is clear that the father’s announcement today is not to test or test the children. I was convinced that I had really split the group.
Then, is Jin Do-jun really taking over the financial part of the group?
Jin Seo-yoon remembered the promise he made to his nephew.
Fairly half…….
