[167]Two-way interview 2
“You could interpret it that way. But just because of that, am I better than my uncle?”
“There is another one. I also have quite a few acquaintances on the floor of Yeouido. Some of them did. Jin Do-jun is the future of Miracle. If Jin Do-jun rises to the position where he wields full power in Miracle, the Korean financial market may play out of his hands.”
“Who’s been talking nonsense like that?”
“You are humble. haha.”
Jang Do-hyung let out a cool laugh.
“My acquaintances are not limited to Yeouido. I have many friends from my Yale study days on Wall Street. They said that Miracle Investment has a Miracle Boy. investment genius. In particular, I heard that you have an insight to accurately recognize the value of startup companies. An investor who has never failed… He said his name is ‘Howard Zinn’.”
Director Jang looked at my face with sparkling eyes and asked.
“Aren’t you the Miracle Boy?”
“No.”
Looking at his sparkling eyes, he answered immediately without hesitation, and his embarrassment was evident.
“…….”
“I am an investor in American Miracle. When I was young, CEO Oh Se-hyun buried the money from the ranch in the United States. It has grown quite a bit. Maybe that’s why people say that, but I’m not an investment guru.”
“Then is it true that Howard Zinn is the manager?”
“It may or may not be. People at headquarters in the US call me Howard. That’s all. So don’t set me up too high. And you mistake me for an investment guru and stop thinking about joining me.”
“I haven’t made any decisions yet. It’s just that I’m more fortunate than the two vice presidents to be in charge of our finance department.”
“Then you will have to protect and protect me. The two vice-presidents will be frantic to take over the financial affiliates by blatantly pushing me out… no, blatantly.”
Jang Do-hyung, executive director, seemed to understand the exact meaning of my words, ‘someone will threaten and someone will try to placate’.
“If you choose this wrong, you will end up in the eye of the typhoon.”
“I’m already in.”
“That is my answer. Now we will wait for the conclusion of the one who chooses.”
quick-witted uncle
If you tell me now that you will not go down the same path as me, I will draw my sword right away. If I had left the door of choice open without waiting for my hand, I would not have talked about it for such a long time, and I would not have talked about my situation.
Jang Do-hyung made his choice from the beginning.
Then my job is to make him feel that he made the right choice.
“Life fire. stock card. Design how to identify this affiliate at a glance. So, on the day the company comes into my hands, I will destroy it according to the design like lightning. Is it possible?”
“As far as I know, the succession work is about two months away. I will prepare.”
“I’m sure you’ll handle it nicely.”
“Chief.”
“yes.”
“I am not loyal to people. The reason I flattered CEO Yang Woo-chan by flattering him was for my success.”
I suddenly have doubts. Could this person have thoroughly investigated my background? Haven’t I heard somewhere that an exact transaction is far more durable and trustworthy than loyalty?
“I see what you mean. Two months later, the executive director will be treated the same as the CEO of Sunyang Electronics, who has the highest salary among Sunyang Group. Only if the design I was talking about came out very well.”
Managing Director Jang opened his mouth wide and couldn’t even reply, let alone say thanks.
“Let’s go and think about the position then. At first, I thought about making an unconventional personnel decision, but I guess I’ll have to decide based on the design. Are you okay?”
“Of course. You’ve already given me an unconventional offer. thank you.”
“Give that greeting when you have done an excellent job with my instructions. It is still undecided.”
I deliberately gave strength to the word instruction. However, Director Jang did not show any displeasure.
“Of course. I don’t want any compensation without performance.”
Executive Director Jang Do-hyeong squashed the beer can he had emptied and stood up.
“I have a lot to do, so I’ll stand up.”
“yes. You have suffered for a long time.”
We shook hands firmly.
“By the way, Mr. I have one final question.”
“yes. Manager.”
“I’m just a young guy, aren’t you anxious?”
Managing Director Jang responded by giving strength to the hands that were facing each other.
“I believe in miracles before my eyes. haha.”

When the succession process reached its end, he was nervous, but he didn’t run to his grandfather.
What percentage of the group’s controlling stake will be added?
If you gave me just 20%, no more, no less, I couldn’t ask for anything more.
“What are you thinking about?”
“Oh no.”
“Ugh…. I’m probably the only crazy kid who thinks that my boyfriend who’s lost his mind while I’m out celebrating is cool.”
“It’s even crazier to say that again. You learn to hide your inner feelings first.”
“My only strength is being honest. Why hide your strengths?”
“There is another one. Having a pretty face is also a plus.”
“Even if I know it’s a mouth-watering sound, it feels good. Hehe.”
Seo Min-young smiled and put a piece of meat in her mouth.
“Now, instead of the end of hardship and the beginning of happiness, there are still more students left, right?”
“huh. The first year at the Judicial Research and Training Institute should be considered dead. There is a saying that the preliminaries training center where you live is the final round.”
“I’ll go play often.”
“Don’t expect it… I’ll believe it.”
Looking at her still bright appearance, I felt sorry for some reason.
If I were an ordinary young guy in my twenties from a wealthy family, I would have spent my youth happily with this kid. But I can’t afford to think about the fun of youth.
Time flies like crazy, and Sunyang’s governance structure becomes increasingly complex.
I came out to congratulate Seo Min-young for completing the difficult task of passing the bar exam while still in school, but my head is full of only the stake structure.
“really. I heard there is another kid who passed the exam besides you?”
“huh. There are only two students who passed this year while attending school. Me and Jihoon Kim. know?”
“Jihoon Kim? Who is it?”
“There is. A kid who looks like a reserve soldier.”
“Oh yeah.”
When I nodded my head, Seo Min-yeong lightly burst into laughter.
“By the way, did you know that Jihoon is faster than him?”
“fast? Are you a year younger than us?”
“huh. Isn’t it great?”
A guy who looks ten years older than me… It’s ridiculous. How sophisticated is the name again? But he was the rare guy who went from being a kid to an old man right away.
“Where is that guy going? test?”
“maybe.”
“Are you the judge?”
“huh. If you want to be assigned to the metropolitan area, you have to study like crazy and get good grades at the training center. I feel like going back just thinking about it.”
Seeing Minyoung let out a long sigh, I thought I should relieve my mood.
Isn’t today a happy day?
I held out the shopping bag I had prepared.
“What is this? Is it a celebration gift?”
“huh. When you become a judge, carry this with you. It is a briefcase.”
She hurriedly rummaged through her shopping bag.
“Wow…. It’s pretty…”
She looked around in her bag for a while and started to stumble.
“Ermeni… Jill? road? How can I read this?”
“Ermenegildo Zegna.”
“You know this well. After all, it’s wrong because he’s a chaebol.”
He said with a smile on her mouth.
“Looking at this, I am the shareholder of the department store. You should know that much.”
Can I know this? I chose it by asking my aunt. Aren’t Aunt’s eyes the best?
He pulled out the small box again.
“What is this again?”
“I’ll use the bag later, and I’ll have to use this one soon.”
Seo Min-young opened the gift box and her eyes lit up.
“Just in case, I’ll give it to you first. When you enter the training center, your parents will definitely prepare for you. tell me in advance I don’t need it.”
Seo Min-yeong hung the two keys on her fingers and said as she waved them.
“I don’t have a driver’s license yet.”
“Take it before entering the training center. I have to drive to and from Ilsan to Seoul.”
“Is this like a master key?”
She held out another key.
“huh. I got an officetel near the training center. Don’t say you’re living in a dorm for nothing. It’s hard work and it’s full of boys…”
“Are you anxious?”
Shouldn’t it be polite to be in a good mood today?
“of course. Don’t you even look in the mirror?”
“Would you be more anxious than me in terms of anxiety?”
“You don’t know me? What are you anxious about?”
She also nodded her head as if agreeing with me. I know very well that my daily life, which only goes back and forth between home and office, is much busier than most office workers.
“I told the department store employees about your taste. They have all the furniture they need, so you can go in and use it anytime. It’s a really digital door, so set the number again.”
“I’ll set it for your birthday.”
“Can I just burst in at will? Hehe.”
“At that time, make up your mind and come in.”
“What resolution?”
“Be prepared because I might attack you!”
Seo Min-young is really…… honest.

The cold wind in December was not harsh either.
Since the tension is not relieved, it seems that only hot heat continues to come out of the body.
Numerous judgments unfolding before my eyes. Thick papers laid on it.
At the bottom of these documents, the name Jin Do-jun and the signature line prevented him from relaxing.
“Hey. just take it What are you looking at so closely?”
“Ah yes.”
“Don’t look at the numbers. The stake structure is so complex that it cannot be calculated at once. I’ll let you know when I’m done stamping. You don’t have to take pictures of it.”
“no.”
I stamped my seal on the top few papers.
A kind of ceremony.
When I handed over the stamp to the staff member waiting by my side, I quietly left the study with a pile of papers and my stamp.
I will put a seal on that thick document for me.
“Are you curious?”
Grandpa just laughed at me, who was curious because he couldn’t unwrap the gift.
“We bundled 4 main financial companies and a few subsidiaries that were not worth it. As a bonus, I also mixed in the group shares.”
So how much did you put in!
I forcibly suppressed what I wanted to shout and waited with a calm expression.
“It’s only one in ten that you guys yell at the Sunyang Group.”
only 10%.
Grandpa didn’t miss the disappointment that passed across my face in an instant.
“why? Are you lacking?”
“no. it’s okay.”
“Look at this guy. Not good enough, but okay? Greed is…”
“Really. Enough.”
“Instead, the assets owned by those affiliates are the largest in the group. know?”
What if there are too many? What cannot be bought with money is the controlling stake in the Sunyang Group. Aren’t all the unlisted companies holding them?
“Didn’t you speak confidently? We will create another Sunyang Group based on that affiliate and the HW Group that Miracle has.”
“I will definitely do that.”
When I answered coolly, my grandfather got up and sat down next to me.
“Do-joon.”
“yes.”
“Do you understand how this old lady did this?”
Seeing the sorrowful eyes of my grandfather, my regret disappeared in an instant.
“yes. I know.”
Exquisite number 10%.
A number too small for my two great-uncles to take a risky gamble to get my share, but too big for me to ignore.
It’s a number worth treating me kindly to pull me over to your side.
I fully understand the feelings of my grandfather who made arrangements not to put me in danger.
“Thank you, Grandpa.”
I held the wrinkled grandfather’s hands tightly.
