[234] Unpredictable Vortex
I stroked the leather cover of the 4 note. How many people will appear and where are they currently located?
Since it has been more than 20 years, there are probably many people who are no longer from this world, and many who have withdrawn from the front line and lost all influence.
My grandfather said when my head was complicated about how to rearrange these records and how to use them.
“I want you to know how I feel about giving this to you. These are my dark records that I have not shown anyone. The one who owns my company, the one who takes my money, the one who takes my land, but you are the one who takes my riches intact. Even if you don’t become the owner of Sunyang by any chance… That’s the sign that you’re the only successor to Jinyangcheol.”
It was a very strange word, but you will never hear more sincerity than this.
“I will make my grandfather’s name an eternal thing that will never be erased.”
I also came across a strange word.
Why are the words that express the truth so childish? I thought of a more sophisticated and profound vocabulary, but that was all that came out of my mouth right away.
Grandpa and I didn’t see eye to eye for a while.
It wasn’t because of the heater that the cheeks were slightly reddened.
“Hmm hmm… Anyway… Take good care of the people whose names are on the note. Your great-grandfathers will do it for you to spend your money for the immediate benefit. Like the last presidential election or the general election to be held this spring.”
“Oh, I forgot. I also gave 2 billion won to my second eldest father in the last presidential election.”
“Know. Just do it that way. Only add that when you are doing it at the group level.”
“Then, the people on this list are separate…?”
“okay. Always let me know, whether there is something special or not. Thinking of paying insurance. And you also take good care of people and add those who want to become big people in the future to that list. You always have to look at the long term and invest.”
“Isn’t long-term investing what I do best? Even if you bury it for 10 years, you won’t blink an eye.”
“And again… His bragging never ends! haha.”
Grandpa hit me on the back of the head.
“As for the account, I don’t have anything special to tell you. There are names and contact information for the people in charge of the bank, so they will take care of everything you need. There is one thing you need to be careful of. Get a trustworthy guy to take the money out of the bank. When he finds the money, leave it to Woo Byung-jun to deliver it. You’ve done it a few times, you’ll do well.”
“Are you telling me to be careful not to reveal myself when I deliver the money?”
“okay. Who is it? The guy who risked his life and ran into a truck instead of us?”
“Are you talking about Assistant Manager Kim Yoon-seok?”
“right. Gnome. Lee Hak-jae said that. It is said that he does not have a smart head, but he has an honest heart. I want him to be the right person for bringing money. It’s not a matter of using your brain, but since you’re honest, your mouth has to be heavy.”
“I don’t have much greed for money, so it must be suitable.”
“what? Aren’t you greedy for money?”
“yes. Didn’t you refuse when I offered you a large sum of money to save our lives?”
Grandpa frowned.
“Where in the world is there a man who is not greedy for money? It’s because I have a bigger greed than money. Anyway, don’t trust it too much and always be vigilant.”
I was surprised again.
He doesn’t even believe in the benefactor who saved his life. You distrust people more than me, who trusted people and even tasted death.
However, you should keep in mind that this is what made today’s cruiser.
“Then will it happen? I don’t know if he froze to death outside the host here.”
When I went outside with my grandfather, the owner, who was even blue to the lips, was standing there trembling.
* * *
Returned home and opened the ledger.
From the most recent, rather than the 80’s, it has been reversed.
The more I looked into it, the more my tongue stuck out at the grandpa’s meticulousness.
I understood the behavior of the economics professors, who appeared on TV whenever they had a chance and made business-friendly remarks with foam at the mouth.
I knew why the largest labor union in Korea was silent about Sunyang Group, and I also knew why Sunyang executives were acquitted or sentenced to probation only if they went to the High Court.
I also knew why Sunyang Group wanted to hide something that would never appear in the news, and why social elders or intellectual groups would not mention the name Sunyang itself.
I carefully reviewed the amount and frequency of the money given to them, and I also checked the account given by my grandfather.
Surprisingly, it is a domestic account.
Foreign accounts are out of reach of our country, so even so, it is a borrowed-name account that contains hundreds of millions to hundreds of billions.
No matter how you think about it, there is only one conclusion.
The bank knows it, and the relevant government agencies know it, but there is no way to explain it other than simply ignoring it and excluding it from the investigation.
That’s probably why my grandfather insisted on using this account. These accounts are my personal secret vault, the most secure in the world.
After checking the ledger and account, it was already bright outside.
I picked up the phone and called Yunseok Kim.
It was early in the morning, but he rushed over.
I held out three bankbooks.
“As soon as the bank opens, stop by these three places and withdraw 100 million won each. The seal is included, and the person in charge and password are written down.”
“yes. Is there anything else you want me to do?”
“Take a close look at the person in charge. I also carefully observe the behavior of bank tellers when I look for money.”
“yes. What if I find the money?”
“Bring it home. I will close my eyes.”
“All right. Rest then.”
It was a questionable order, and even though it was questionable, Kim Yun-seok bowed his head and went out without asking a single question.
It was near noon when I opened my eyes to the sound of the doorbell.
“Did you get some rest?”
“yes. I had a good night’s sleep. Have you finished your work?”
Instead of answering, Assistant Manager Kim Yun-seok pointed to the three Boston bags he had brought.
“Are there any problems?”
“yes. All the people in charge you mentioned were branch managers. I waited for a cup of tea in the branch manager’s office, and he took care of everything himself.”
“Aren’t you surprised?”
“Two places didn’t say anything, only one asked a sneaky question. I wonder if the person in charge has changed.”
“So what did you say?”
“Just in case, I didn’t say anything and just stared. Then he bowed his head and said he was rude.”
increased a lot
You have to clearly tell who is the top performer, and it’s good to avoid unnecessary words.
“Good job.”
I opened the zipper of my bag and glanced at the wad of money, examining Assistant Manager Kim’s expression.
There are no exceptions to gyeonmulsaengsim. You have to be swayed by temptation to know what kind of person you are.
He was given only a bankbook containing tens of billions of dollars. He would have known. The fact that if you set your mind to it, you can always make a fortune.
However, his pupils do not change from the calmly submerged state. There was no way to know if he was thinking of nothing or if he was hoping for something bigger than money like his grandfather said.
I handed him a bag.
“Take it and use it.”
“yes?”
Now, his eyes twinkle. It’s not about money. It must be because they don’t know why they are willing to give up a large amount of money all of a sudden.
“You can use it wherever you need it. It’s money you don’t need to keep receipts for, so spread it in cash.”
Kim Yoon-seok, who understood what it meant, showed a troubled expression.
“Chief. Too many.”
“many?”
“…yes.”
His voice creeped in, noticing that my voice was unusual.
“If you sprinkle 1 million won, you get 100 people. Less than a hundred people have installed it so far? Even if it’s not enough, it won’t be enough…!”
When I said it in a reprimanding voice, he quickly replied.
“Ah, the unit was different. I thought they would give out 100,000 won each.”
Considering the monthly wages of the group planning office, secretary office, strategy office, and low-level employees in the security team, Assistant Manager Kim is worth thinking at 100,000 won.
“Then let’s raise the unit from now on. No… no need for that, I’ll leave the judgment to Assistant Manager Kim. Sow it yourself.”
“All right. Honestly, a million won is too much. So…”
I put my hand up to cover his mouth.
“I said I would give it up. You don’t have to explain everything.”
“Ah yes.”
Deputy Kim took the bag.
“I have something to tell you. Since this morning, the chief’s cousins have been visiting Chairman Jin’s hospital room.”
“Together?”
“no. They say they come separately.”
“Please confirm it. I will definitely contact you in advance.”
“yes. We will check and let you know.”
When Assistant Manager Kim left, he threw the remaining two bags in the corner. I plan to pass it on to Managing Director Woo Byung-jun later. If he sprinkled it here and there, it seemed that it would be enough to digest 200 million won.
At this time, the phone rang.
“huh. brother.”
– Do-joon. Did you know that your grandfather was admitted to the hospital?
Sang-jun hyung’s voice trembled. I guess he was surprised too.
“Oh sorry. I couldn’t contact you.”
– no. It’s because I don’t contact my grandfather often. When I asked my father, he said he would visit me, but let’s go together when it’s time for you. To be honest, I still have a hard time with my grandfather. It’s dark before my eyes at the thought of going alone.
In my family, the grandson hated by my grandfather the most is Sang-jun hyung. I’ve gotten better as an adult, but it won’t be easy to stand in front of my grandfather alone.
“okay. Anyway, I was thinking of stopping by today too. go with me.”
A sigh of relief was clearly audible.
– Hey, I’m glad. When are you going?
“You have to check the time. brother?”
― I will always be in the recording studio, so anytime is fine.
“Then I’ll go to the recording studio. I also wanted to see where my brother works. Are you fine?”
– I’m fine. But what if you are troublesome?
“no. I’m stopping by on my way to the hospital. don’t mind.”
– okay. See you later then.
After I finished the call, I closed my eyes again.
* * *
I woke up to Assistant Manager Kim’s phone call. The cousins informed me that they would be crowded in the afternoon and that there would be no one in the evening.
Yes, we should play at night. Aren’t they the ones who don’t need belated filial piety because they know that stocks don’t drop a week anyway?
On the way to the hospital, I stopped by Sangjun hyung’s studio.
Since I invested in this company, I only looked at the documents, but this is my first visit to the company. As the papers suggest, there has been no great success yet. I thought it was going well, but looking at the building, it was very different from what I thought.
It was located in a fairly decent building, and I could see dozens of extreme fans camped out in front of the building.
Were there any star-level idols in this company?
It is difficult to grasp the reality because they only look at numbers and have no interest in celebrities.
“Chief. Shall I go and get him?”
The follow-up team asks a sneak peek. The people camped at the entrance seemed to be bothering them.
“are you okay. I came here to see my brother at work, so please wait in the parking lot.”
This was a mistake.
A few high school girls who saw me getting out of a luxury foreign car rushed over.
“brother! Is your brother from here too? Trainee?”
“hey! Didn’t you see the car? Where is the trainee who rides a car like that?”
“Isn’t it more expensive than a van? no wait! Rather than that, don’t you think you’ve seen this oppa somewhere? I think I saw it on TV…?”
I pretended I didn’t see the kids talking and went inside the building. It was fortunate that he was wearing a suit. The security guards in the lobby only stopped the fans, but I entered without difficulty.
He calls Sang-jun in the lobby, but unfortunately, he only hears a beeping sound and does not answer the phone.
Called back a few times, but it’s still the same. When I was forced to send a text message, I found Sang-jun hyung walking out surrounded by a group of women.
