[181] Where the Giant Left 1
“Did the story end well?”
“I don’t know if I’m blowing away 2 billion won. The kid stutters.”
Oh Se-hyun revealed that he did not like it with his pouting lips.
“I think you paid for the tuition fee well.”
“The tuition fee is huge. so? What are you going to do after that?”
“That is where I help. If that doesn’t work, I won’t care what Sang-joon does.”
It was enough for the cost of self-reliance of 2 billion won. Oh Se-hyun was also relieved. He must think that it is foolish to pour money into a hopeless cause.
At this moment, the secretary slammed the door open.
“Dae-representative”
“What is it? what’s the matter?”
I didn’t even pay attention to my manners because it seemed unusual.
The secretary didn’t say anything and turned on the TV with the remote control placed on one side.
An urgent breaking news was broadcast on TV.
『Joo Young-il, honorary chairman of Daehyun Group, passed away from old age at Daehyun Hospital in Seoul at 10 pm last night. The direct cause of death of the deceased is ‘acute respiratory failure due to pneumonia’ and it is known that he was conscious until the end.
After the late former chairman Joo Young-il announced his resignation from management in May of last year, he withdrew from the front line of management and went back and forth between his home and Seoul Daehyeon Hospital for treatment
. The two were staring blankly at the TV with their mouths wide open.
“The funeral of the late former chairman Joo Young-il is held on the 5th as a family funeral, but all five economic organizations, including the Federation of Korean Industries, participate in the funeral, so in reality it can be seen as a funeral funeral.
The Federation of Korean Industries said, “It can be done as the head of the economy, but considering the circumstances of Daehyeon, we gathered opinions as the head of the family.” thing,’ he added.
Incense altars will also be set up at Daehyun Group’s business sites at home and abroad, and it is known that the eldest son, Joo Tae-shik, chairman of Daehyun Motors, will oversee all funeral expenses and procedures.
”
Oh Se-hyeon, who came to his senses, immediately picked up the receiver.
“Check the stock price of Daehyun Group in real time and report it every 10 minutes.”
Daehyun Group’s share price will drop anyway, but it should recover to normal in a month or two.
Korean conglomerates have already gone beyond the level of playing drums and drums by the chairman alone. The chairman only focuses on the succession work, and the company is run well by the executives and employees.
“Hey, will it be fun in the future?”
“I don’t think it would be dynamic, right? Isn’t the division of affiliates already over?”
I am not aware of the future where the battle for inheritance will become fierce enough to be called a prince’s riot, but I took a sneak peek at it.
“Where is the fight over money? The sons, who had been silent because of their father, will start in earnest. Besides, how many children do you have? only eight sons there is another younger brothers of the chairman. Will they, who are no different from the founders, stay still? It’s obvious that the nobles are also going to make a fuss, wanting to give their children a piece of their own.”
Daehyun Group, which had been preparing for the separation of affiliates for several years, was divided into five main businesses, including finance, electronics, and construction, including heavy industry-affiliated securities.
However, due to the method of corporate governance called circular shareholding structure, complete separation was impossible, and like our Sunyang Group, we were holding knives that could hurt each other at any time.
“By the way, what will your uncle do? Should I go to condolences?”
“Send a funeral wreath or something. I don’t even have a relationship with the deceased.”
“Aren’t you the one who fought fiercely over Ajin Motors? I can’t say no.”
“I am done. Chairman Song Hyeon-chang will represent the HW Group anyway. than you? President Jin is sure to go, but are you not going with him?”
“well. If my grandfather asks to go with me, I go, otherwise I have to leave. I still don’t have enough jjambab to fit in there.”
I wish I could go with you.
The family is also full of 3 generations. Among them, there are those who have dipped their feet into management and those who are preparing. You can join hands and jointly invest, or you can compete for business.
At a time like this, it wouldn’t be bad if he got acquainted with the Daehyeon group.
However, three days passed, but there was no call from my grandfather.
* * *
“Are all the people going?”
“yes. Blue House chiefs and ministerial-level officials visited on the first day. Most of the group heads also paid condolences.”
“What about our children?”
“Vice Chairman Jin Young-gi of Vibrator visited on the first day, but Chairman Jin-gi of the board is still in trouble.”
Chairman Jin continued to sigh.
“When are you planning to drop by?”
When Chief Lee Hak-jae asked cautiously, Chairman Jin stopped breathing.
“Let’s go the day before the funeral. By then, wouldn’t those bastards have dried up their tears? It would be fun to see their faces.”
“Do you really need to do that…?”
Lee Hak-jae, not knowing Chairman Jin’s intentions, took a little luck.
“I can’t see you after I die. After I die, I don’t know what my children look like, what they do, or what they plan to do.”
“Then you want to see it?”
“okay. There is no difference between them and my children. They are all the same. Those who never made money with their own hands, but never lacked money. It will be fun to see the sights you can’t see when you’re dead.”
“How would you like it? Daehyeon has to be cut into small pieces, so the second generation is on the verge of dissatisfaction. It will be different.”
“It’s okay, man. What are you trying to comfort? Big or small, it’s all the same. Is there an end to human greed? Come to my grave later and tell me the story.”
“yes?”
“It’s over if I close my eyes, but won’t you see my children fighting? I will tell you in detail how much fun it was. haha.”
Lee Hak-jae did not say anything. It’s like a joke, but I could see the truth.
“What can I do?”
It could have been a bit rude, but Lee Hak-jae was curious about Chairman Jin’s sincerity.
Chairman Jin just stared at Lee Hak-jae without answering for a while. And when he opened his mouth, unexpected words poured out.
“Yes, I like you. Can I say this or that? Just one favor… don’t be too greedy.”
“yes?”
“it’s okay. If I die and I’m not in this world, you’ll find out by itself.”
Lee Hak-jae, head of the department, also kept his mouth shut.
“Cham Do-joon will also be taken, so you know that.”
“yes. Are you planning on seeing the funeral?”
“It should be. How hard would it be to spend one night with the world’s most disgusting old man? I must see with my own eyes that they leave to be buried.”
“All right. I will inform Daehyun in advance.”
* * *
In the car heading to the temple in Seongbuk-dong, my grandfather said little, unlike usual.
He was talkative enough to say that the characteristic of old people is that when he gets older, his yang rises in his mouth and he constantly chats
.
“Chairman Joo’s house isn’t usually big, so why did you use a temple as a funeral hall?”
“You follow the will of the living. It’s about resolving the grudge of the old man of Chairman Joo.”
“yes?”
“It was the West I wanted to kick out of the house all my life. Joo Young-il The inspiration only turned outward. It’s because I love women so much. There are also rumors that out of the eight children on the family register, three of them are half-brothers.”
“Is that true?”
I asked wide-eyed.
“I don’t know. I asked him several times when we met occasionally to eat, but he just said no. It’s a secret that only their families know.”
Grandpa’s hard expression relaxed a little.
“I bet there are quite a few children who are not registered. It’s only once or twice that a woman gave birth to a child and sent her to a foreign country.”
Those women and their children would have known by now that Chairman Joo had passed away and would be busy buying plane tickets to Korea.
In the future, inheritance inheritance lawsuits and paternity lawsuits will continue, and Daehyun Group will spend money on the media to prevent this scandal.
Of course, there is not a single out-of-wedlock in the Daehyun group, but all of them will earn a hefty settlement and disappear abroad again.
I laughed at this thought, but I held back and listened to my grandfather.
“Since such a West is dead, it is regrettable. I couldn’t even set foot in the house for the last five days.”
I heard that Chairman Joo’s wife is close to eighty. A woman is a woman no matter how old she is. That’s how cruelly you let go of life’s resentment.
When I glanced sideways at the thought, Grandpa’s eyes also changed.
“This guy! What are you thinking?”
“Oh no.”
“No! It’s written all over your face. Are you seeing me with that old man Joo Young-il?”
“Because it is not. Just…”
“Just what?”
Grandpa wiped the last smile from his face and said a little more seriously.
“As far as I know, there are no other children. I’ve always been careful of the three places a man should be careful of. Do you know what that is?”
He nodded. Isn’t it mouth and fist and dick?
“By the way, ‘as far as I know’? You mean there might be something you don’t know?”
“I can’t guarantee you that there isn’t a woman who hasn’t told me that she’s expecting a child.”
Suddenly, Grandpa burst out laughing.
“Oh my gosh… I never thought I’d be telling my grandson something I wouldn’t even share with my grown children. Heh heh heh.”
“Because I also have something in common with my grandfather. Hehe.”
Grandpa hit my head and lowered his voice.
“Do-joon.”
“yes.”
“Could it be? If there is someone who appears to be my child after I die, do a thorough paternity test.”
“And what?”
“Your uncles will definitely try to kick you out. it should be like that again A kid like that shouldn’t be dipping his toe into a sunyang. But if life is like a beggar, take care of it properly. To live like a human being.”
“yes. We will take care of everything.”
“okay. Thank you.”
Grandpa held my hand tightly.
“You wash away the awkwardness that always seems to get stuck between my teeth. haha.”
While we were talking, we arrived at the temple before we knew it.
There were so many reporters waiting at the entrance of the temple that I wondered if all the reporters in Korea had gathered, and they started pressing the camera shutters at all the vehicles passing through the entrance.
Daehyun Group employees blocked the entrance and strictly controlled access, so all they could do was take a picture of the license plate. If you look up the vehicle, you can find out who has been there.
“Do-joon.”
“yes.”
“Down the window.”
“yes?”
“hurry.”
“grandfather. Reporters will point their cameras at you.”
“That’s why I open the window. hurry.”
I even heard the sound of the driver driving, swallowing his dry saliva in surprise.
And as Grandpa ordered, the windows were rolled down. The window on my grandfather’s side was already fully open, so I couldn’t hesitate any longer.
As expected, the camera came into the car and started to press the shutter at random.
After passing through the temple entrance, it was barely enough to let go of an hour.
“Why did Grandpa suddenly do that?”
“Hehe. Tomorrow your face will be covered in newspapers.”
