[253] Impossible alliance 3
“Let’s stop talking about the president. They say that a holding company can be established next year! Then take the president’s office. As we promised.”
“Motivation. It’s formal. Let’s just have an external appearance. I will never touch the affiliates you manage.”
“okay? Then let’s do the opposite. What if I take the title of president? He doesn’t even look at his older brother’s affiliates, including the former. how is it?”
When Jin Young-ki heard his younger brother’s retorted words, his stomach bubbled up. This guy doesn’t know how important being the eldest son is.
“Let’s stop talking nonsense. It’s natural not to touch your company, and tell me what you want in addition. But stop insisting on asking for the position of president. If the eldest son is the president and the second son is the vice president, both live. However, the moment the second son ascended to the chairmanship, the eldest son was sentenced to death. The moment King Sejong became crown prince, Grand Prince Yangnyeong was kicked out of the palace. That is the eye of the world.”
“More princes were killed after the eldest son ascended the throne. vice-chairman? Will I even keep the position of vice-president? They’re going to use the presidency to kick me out. Whether you want it or not.”
As the two unyielding brothers exchanged tense glances, the door suddenly opened.
“It’s a good thing. What’s up? hello? Sejong? Where are those who don’t even know the subject playing princes?!”
“Oh mother!”
“Suddenly, for some reason…”
The two sons were startled by the mother who showed up without contact, and the quarrel stopped.
Mrs. Lee Pil-ok looked around Jin Young-ki’s office and sat down on the sofa.
“It breaks my heart to see all of you who are satisfied with a place like this after leaving the president’s office empty.”
“mother. That seat will eventually be occupied by our brother.”
“noisy!”
The vibrator spoke softly, but his mother did not lower her voice.
“Did I tell you at your father’s funeral? Do-joon, take him out first! Hurry up and find the financial affiliates he has! these guys.”
“Stop it, Mother. We’ll take care of it…”
“Lee Hak-jae went over there. Don’t you know yet?”
Mrs. Lee Pil-ok sighed as she cut off her son’s words.
“The company where Lee Hak-jae went as chairman is owned by Oh Se-hyun or something. Sehyun Oh is friends with Yoongi. Lee Hak-jae and Oh Se-hyeon… What would happen if these two scolded Do-jun? We will target the financial affiliates of Sunyang first. What if we start working on division?”
The two vice presidents wanted to bang their heads. After my father passed away, we only glared at each other.
Mother dismissed Do-jun’s dislike as the old man’s pettiness, but she didn’t care.
But what if Lee Hak-jae, who must have had a grudge against them, joined hands with Do-jun?
After all, people see everything with their own eyes. Mother was preoccupied with the youngest grandson whom she hated fiercely, so she always imagined the worst case scenario, and now it has come to the point where it may become reality.
“Didn’t I always say that Do-joon is just like your father? He has a lot of greed, but he also has a metal ghost attached to him. They’d rather make it their own quickly than risk it with a meager stake. But what if Lee Hak-jae wishes to help? The financial group will fall first before you even make the holding company you sing about.”
The two sons looked at the old mother and stuck out their tongues.
Is this quick judgment really due to obsession?
“If you don’t know that it’s not the time to fight for the president’s seat, you guys don’t even have the qualifications to be the president!”
The two grown sons couldn’t lift their heads at the mother’s screams.
“It’s motivation.”
“yes. mother.”
“I am not saying that you should put your brother in the chair right now. Go along with your brother and retrieve the financial affiliates, which are no different from Sunyang’s safe.”
Even if it’s not what my mother said, I know how threatening the character Lee Hak-jae is. The vibrator felt enough that he needed to act quickly before using his hands.
“And it’s Youngki.”
“yes.”
“Even if you take back the financial group, don’t be greedy that you will take it. Even a scarecrow would be fine, so I would like the memory to be seated there. Wouldn’t that look much better than the two of you fighting?”
Their mother’s words of admonition did not reach the ears of the two of them. Now, he pushed his chairmanship to one side for a while and worked hard to have a financial affiliate.

Yang Woo-chan, former president of Sunyang Life Insurance, ran to Vice Chairman Jin Young-ki’s call with vague expectations.
It was the expectation that he might recover from the insult he had suffered because of the blue child.
When he gently opened the door to Vice Chairman Jin Young-ki’s office, Vice Chairman Dong-ki welcomed him first.
“Welcome, Mr. Yang. You couldn’t even say goodbye properly at your father’s funeral, right?”
“Oh no. You must have been out of your mind, but would you have had such a situation? Anyway, you worked hard to get the big job done.”
“Let’s not stand like this, let’s sit down.”
Jinyoung patted him on the back and dragged him to the sofa.
Courtesy greetings and meaningless words asking about the current situation were exchanged, and when Yang Woo-chan, the president, wondered why he had called him, Jin Young-gi spoke.
“I am trying to reorganize Sunyang Financial Group. What do you think of the president?”
“A reorganization? Are you talking about consolidation?”
“Well… I haven’t come out with a specific picture yet, but it’s hard to leave it alone. Somehow, since a child like Do-joon touches them, their ability to deal with crises is questionable…”
Yang Woo-chan, the president, had to know the true intentions of the two vice presidents. If you talk hastily without knowing your true intentions, you may miss the opportunity.
“Director Jin Do-jun doesn’t get involved at all after setting up a new management team. If there is a problem, it must be the management’s problem…”
Yang said while glancing at the two.
“That is the problem. What if the entire financial group had to move in perfect order, and play individually? Tsk tsk.”
“Does the separation of ownership and management fit the Korean situation? Where are you imitating foreign companies? Although I’m at an age where I think that’s cool.”
“Isn’t that why you treated someone like our boss Yang? What do you know?”
CEO Yang Woo-chan’s eyes shone.
The financial group reorganization is just an excuse, and it is clear that they are trying to expel Jin Do-jun.
As expected…
Chairman Jin, who is like a tiger, disappears and the wolf cubs show their teeth. Of course, there was no way that Yang knew that this was an opportunity for him.
“It makes sense. But will it help the older generation who have withdrawn from the front lines like me to reorganize anew…?”
“Old generation? What kind of humility is that? It is still being corrected and is in full swing.”
Yang’s face began to brighten.
He was sure that he was trying to attack Jin Do-jun by putting himself forward.
“Anyway, in order to reorganize the company, shouldn’t the management be reorganized first? A company is a person, after all.”
Vice Chairman Jin Young-ki said as if seeking consent from Yang.
“That’s right. Talented people who will move like limbs must be placed in every nook and cranny to move in perfect order. But…”
“Please feel free to tell me. Boss Yang.”
“If you are thinking of replacing the management, shouldn’t you also check the opinion of Director Jin Do-jun?”
“Why do you think so?”
Vibrator looked at Yang Woo-chan’s expression with sharp eyes trying to read his thoughts.
“The appointment of the CEO and executives is a decision of the board of directors, but would it be possible without Director Jin Do-jun?”
“Isn’t the shareholders’ meeting higher than the board of directors?”
“Yeah, that’s right.”
“If you look at the group shares, my brother and I together account for more than 51%. Do you still need Do-jun’s permission?”
President Yang had the feeling that he wanted to call for a mansae. Because the financial group can be controlled only with the shares of the two vice-chairmen, Jin Do-jun, a young man, sucks his finger and looks at it, but can’t do anything.
“Oh, if that’s the case, well… It won’t be a problem if you call the board of directors right away and reorganize with the vice presidents.”
“That’s why I need your help, Mr. Yang.”
“Say anything. I will do anything I can.”
The two vice presidents exchanged glances at each other.
“Make a list from the CEO and executives to the managerial level of key departments. A person who opposes Jin Do-jun. and follower.”
“Ah, that’s like a murderer.”
“Exactly. Instead, keep one thing in mind. Personal feelings should never enter. Make a cool decision and make it.”
“Is there any?”
“Leave the CEO position of True Sunyang Life Insurance empty. That seat is just for the Yang boss.”
CEO Yang Woo-chan jumped up with a thrilled expression as if the dead Chairman Jin had returned to life.
“thank you. Vice Chairman Jin Young-gi Vice Chairman Vibrator. To give me this opportunity again… I don’t know how to thank you… I will never forget this grace.”
Jin Young-ki patted Yang on the back as he lowered his head to his belly button.
“Let’s work together like when my father was alive. I look forward to it. haha.”
President Yang went out bending over to the two of them.
Seeing his empty seat left, Jin Young-gi smiled.
“how is it? Do you think you will do well?”
“I will do it carefully. He will think of them as the people he will use.”
“If you earn as much as your old friend earns, it’s only natural to take a break while watching your grandchildren….
Jinyounggi frowned as if he had seen an insect.
“What can I do? If I sit down as an old man in the back room, will all I have left to think about is the old days? I miss those days.”
“I would be disappointed to find out that making the list is the last assignment…”
“Why? Are you sorry?”
“If you don’t feel sorry for me, you can buy me a bowl of rice and give me some pocket money.”
As the two laughed at CEO Yang Woo-chan, who had disappeared, the door opened again and a man appeared.
“Oh, come on. The new CEO of Sunyang Life Insurance.”
Jin Young-gi bowed down to his waist and made an exaggerated greeting, but Vibrator only smiled bitterly. This is because the new CEO of Sunyang Life Insurance is the person of Vice Chairman Jin Young-ki.
“Come on, remind me. Would you like a cup of tea?”
Jin Sang-ki, who visited the main building in Sunyang after a long time, smiled broadly at the words of his older brother.
“Brothers!”
* * *
“President Yang?”
“yes. There are rumors that he visits Vice President Jin Young-ki’s office like crazy these days.”
Vice President Jang Do-hyung couldn’t relax. Because this is not the end.
“The same goes for Chairman Jin-sang. He is smiling and appears frequently in the main building.”
No matter how hard you try to hide it, you can’t hide it when it appears in the company. In particular, there are female employees who watch every person who enters and exits the floor exclusively for executives and above, and female employees are bound to deliver new news quickly.
“That’s not all, is it?”
Vice President Jang Do-hyung said with a bit of difficulty.
“President Jin-sang is openly talking about it. He said that he was the new head of Sunyang Financial Group.”
From the moment I heard that CEO Yang Woo-chan had appeared, I guessed that the two uncles were plotting something. But what about the truth?
this is kinda awkward
Given the relationship between the three brothers, it is a plan with little chance of success.
“The third eldest father is light-mouthed. And he often makes exaggerated bluffs.”
“Isn’t it dangerous to see it as a bluff?”
Vice President Jang Do-hyung still couldn’t relax.
“No matter what they decorate, there is a high probability that it will fail. Do you know what we need most when we move in unison?”
“Isn’t that a common good? If you can join forces and make a profit, it is a person to join hands with the enemy of Cheolcheon.”
“no. Before that, there are things you need. It’s the mindset that it’s okay if I take a little loss or take a small profit. You must be able to let go of some of your greed. For my family, that is the hardest thing.”
However, unlike the words I spit out, I can’t help but feel uncomfortable.
