[297] Banthing on good terms? 8
I sighed involuntarily.
“Well… it wasn’t that easy. Because my grandfather built a wall so solidly. If it wasn’t for me, no one would have been able to take the cruiser away.”
After I said it, I thought I was acting too proud, so I added a few words.
“Ah, it means that it was possible because I had strong luck.”
There was no need to add a few words. Vibrator’s vice president doesn’t seem to be able to hear me anymore.
I can imagine what kind of shock it must have been. He waited quietly for the shock to pass.
“Then, was it you who requested dollar support from Miracle headquarters in the US? To tighten the bank?”
After a while, he opened his mouth and could not connect me with the United States.
“It was an order, not a request.”
“what?”
“I am the largest shareholder of New York Miracle Investment, and most of the operating funds are my money. To put it simply, it’s a company created to make my money. Do you understand now? Although Korea is a separate corporation, it is only a local office.”
I was speechless again.
He waited patiently, to the extent that he forgot the fact that his son had appeared before the prosecution.
“There will be no company that I cannot buy with the money I have now. Apple, which has re-emerged as a top company with smartphones, has no difficulty in acquiring more than half of its total stock.”
I didn’t care if he listened or not. just say what to say
“Sunyang Electronics? The market capitalization is a little over 100 trillion. It’s possible if I raise all my money. But isn’t it more difficult than Apple’s than Microsoft’s to buy shares in Sunyang Group?”
Seeing my uncle open his eyes as if struck by lightning at the number of 100 trillion, he seems to be listening to me.
“I understand. Apple’s Steve Jobs is just a wealthy and respected entrepreneur, but he has no power. However, our Sunyang has the power to control Korea, the world’s 10th largest economy. Sunyang is power, not a company, so we have to build an impregnable fortress to prevent anyone from encroaching on it.”
“ji. Are you real? Are you really saying you have it all?”
“That’s right.”
“Why the hell…?”
“yes?”
“Why are you so obsessed with cruisers with such enormous assets? Wouldn’t it be better to grow the HW group with that money? authority? Is it because you don’t know where Sunyang’s power comes from? That’s money. Buy power and buy companies with that money. Then you may have greater power than the Sunyang.”
That’s it. If it weren’t for the bad luck in my previous life, I might have done what you said.
It may be difficult to build a network as dense as a spider’s web built by a grandfather over several decades in a short period of time, but it is possible with money and it is easier to increase affiliates to the size of Sunyang.
But what if my goal is to take the cruiser and put you under my feet?
I can’t get this word out. Instead, he gave another reason. This too is sincere.
“I want the legacy my grandfather left behind. Because I inherited his blood. If it’s not a cruiser, it means nothing to me.”
I said to the half-fazed man.
“Give up now. If the shares held by affiliates are transferred to the HW Group, the influence of the stake held by the uncle will soon be greatly reduced. It will be difficult to find a place in the Sunyang Group anymore.”
“so? Are you saying you want to leave like this?”
“no. See your aunt. Are you still commanding department stores and hotels?”
“what?”
“You can check with your aunt. Have I ever been involved in department store management… I am not interested in management. I just want to have it.”
“Are you asking me to at least work under you?”
“I am not asking for it, and I am not asking for it. It’s just a suggestion. If you don’t like it, back off.”
Perhaps because of his calm tone, he seemed to have calmed down a bit.
“It is over. All that remains is for Uncle Dad to accept reality. Please think slowly and give me an answer.”
It would be difficult for him to walk out of my room, all weak. My stepping aside is the last generosity for him.

“Daehyun cleaned up. Chairman Joo Tae-sik fed some honey chestnuts to the back of his younger brother’s head and settled the shares.”
Chairman Lee Hak-jae handed out the documents.
“We bring Daehyeon Construction, railroad vehicles, and Daehyeon Machinery. Machinery and rolling stock will be attached to HW cars. Construction will merge.”
“When are you going to make an announcement to the press?”
“If you clean up the cruise, you should do it all at once. how is it? A vibrator?”
“Resignation and conformity. There is only a decision left.”
“resolve? What do you decide?”
“You might be thinking about whether you want to become a professional manager or retire.”
Lee Hak-jae frowned.
“Don’t pretend to be nice. Believe in the lessons of history.”
If there is a coup, it is the death penalty after exile. It is impossible to use private medicine now, so we must end it with exile.
“Should I not even put my feet on it?”
“of course. You don’t know when you’ll decorate something when you look at the sunyang. The vibrator is the chairman’s blood. Do you think there will be no one who will step up for that friend even if you are exhausted and have no money?”
“What can a person without a stake do?”
“You have a brother. Wouldn’t Vibrator stand on the side of Jin Young-gi, who is your older brother, rather than you? Never do anything stupid to empower him.”
Our Chairman Lee also learned from his grandfather. I know very well that I shouldn’t create anything that will cause a sequel because of recognition.
But I’m not putting Vibrator Vice President in that position for recognition. It is to enjoy the look of me bowing my head while looking at my eyes.
“I will keep that in mind.”
For now, this answer seems appropriate. And quickly changed the subject.
“By the way, how was the prosecution investigation?”
“The investigation secretly informed us of the succession process, and Vice Chairman Jin Young-ki told the eldest son to take a good look at the succession process. I firmly warned you that if you neglected the expedient this time, you would be beaten by public opinion.”
I don’t know if it’s because of that, but the succession work to Jin Yeongjun has stopped. But there is no law that only good things happen. Chairman Lee Hak-jae also delivered bad news with a troubled expression.
“The problem is that Vice Chairman Jin Young-ki was very scared.”
“Is being scared bad news?”
“The succession work has stopped, but the work of separating the affiliates has been accelerated. He wants to take what he has and run away.”
“I was also thinking about separation, but…”
“Wouldn’t it be better to recalculate the stake and take a good position this time rather than separation?”
“Is it possible? I have secured a lot of shares in the affiliates, but my eldest father’s shares in the electronics, service, and trade affiliates aren’t that large, right?”
“That’s because it’s so big. Instead, it is not impossible if the shares owned by the financial sector and public institutions are divided into four sides.”
“Are you sure enough to take over the whole group?”
Chairman Lee Hak-jae showed a bitter smile.
“If you exclude those who will never take your side and those who clearly abstain, you will be able to secure enough shares to keep an eye on Sunyang Electronics.”
“Then it wouldn’t hurt to give it a try. Please make a list. I will not avoid the people I need to meet.”
“okay. I’ll take care of the people I’ll meet.”
As we envisioned the next step, Vice President Vibrator was sinking toward the pinnacle of suffering.

The Blue House and the heads of financial institutions did not want an article about Sunyang Construction going into court receivership.
“Look at Daehyeon Construction. Doesn’t the media bring it up because you’re backing down neatly? There was no mention of a change of owner. Everyone is waiting. Only the vice-president has to make the decision.”
“I’ve been waiting until now because I thought of Chairman Jin Yang-cheol, who passed away. It’s a pity for us to tarnish the name Sunyang.”
“What do you want me to do?”
The faces of the creditors began to turn red at the dejected and abandoned attitude.
“For now, retire your construction stocks. Heavy industry stocks should be returned to treasury stock. And dispose of the rest of the affiliate stocks or whatever you want.”
By getting rid of their stake, they distribute the value to other shareholders. It shows the image of a manager who is responsible for management failure.
“Your creditors will unanimously entrust my company to HW.”
“It doesn’t appear to be a concern for the person who is stepping down.”
Vice Chairman Dong-gi Dong glared at the representatives of the creditors for a while before letting out a long sigh.
“Prepare the documents and come back. I will do whatever you want.”
The creditors all jumped up and bowed their heads.
“I am grateful to the vice-president for his decision.”
They finished their mouthing and quickly left.
Sitting in the empty vice-president’s office, it dawned on me that this room, too, should be vacated soon.
Jin Do-jun was not wrong.
He occupied this room simply because he was born as his father’s son.
It didn’t even take much effort. As long as they didn’t do something very stupid, all the father’s sons could smoothly walk on the flower path and go straight to the vice-president’s office.
It was just a matter of not having any thoughts like Sang Sang, the younger brother, or rejecting the flower path laid out like Yoongi.
If he empties this room, only his older brother and nephew remain. A running brother and a chasing nephew… The outcome of the fight was obvious.
Now, all he has left is his children.
Although it is very small, it is the duty of parents to leave their chance.
Although the third place is far behind, there is only one way to seize the slightest chance. Throwing knives so that 1st and 2nd place fight bloody… that’s all.
Vibrator thought about what percentage of the remaining shares would give the 1st and 2nd place a fiercer fight.
He finished his thoughts and stood up slowly.
I left the vice-president’s office and took the direction. We moved towards the last remaining negotiation target.

“Are you here? uncle. I just got a call from a creditor. You said you accepted all the terms?”
“okay. Enduring any longer is just ugly, because there is nothing to be gained.”
“You came to this room and you thought you had something to gain from me and that I could give it to you.”
“okay. I don’t want money, so don’t be too fond of it.”
not money?
Does that mean you won’t hand over your share?
He’s still not green.
“Please feel free to speak. I will listen to anything.”
The second uncle held up a teacup and quenched his thirst.
“The executives will start with a water change, right?”
“yes. The responsibility for poor management must also be shouldered by the executives.”
“As you know, construction involves a lot of blind money. If you shake everything from the president to the director, there will be some dust. Don’t rob it, let it go.”
Most of the money the executives made must have gone into the second eldest father’s pocket. All that was left was a little bit of rice cake batter on the hands of the executives.
It means don’t take the money you made.
“Let me think about it. What next?”
Vice Chairman Vibrator frowned, not seeing the answer he expected.
“You have a lot of money. How much do you think that would cost?”
The money that the second eldest father made is a crime.
I can’t cover it for free, but I will cover it after I get what I get.
“I said I think, don’t argue and say the second.”
I let out a sigh, as if my overbearing attitude reminded him of his situation once again.
