The Youngest Son Of A Rich Family Chapter 33

[033]Age of rapid change 3.

“I am now a middle school student, uncle.”

“what? already?”

“yes. Admission is in March, right?”

“Not yet. hey! But aren’t you surprised? Can’t you see the box office performance? Aren’t you a kid who doesn’t know the value of a dollar?”

When I was stunned without any reaction, Oh Se-hyeon turned into a suspicious look again.

“We invested 8 million dollars out of 18 million dollars in production cost, so our ratio is 44%. Excluding the distributor’s theater revenue, it brings in about half of the total revenue, right?”

“Is that so? It will fit.”

“If it is 200 million dollars… Today’s exchange rate is 740 won, so 148 billion dollars. Half of this is 74 billion, 44% would be about 33 billion. Isn’t that a 6x return?”

Oh Se-hyeon narrowed his eyes. Older men are always amazed at children’s mental arithmetic abilities. The good thing about being young is that my brain works very smoothly.

“It’s not a big deal considering the profitability of Microsoft and Dell computers, right?”

“That is true. Still, if it doubles in a year, it’s a super hit. And $200 million is also revenue in the United States. Now that we’re opening it all over the world, we’re going to make at least twice as much money.”

“uncle.”

“huh?”

“Tell the New York Miracle staff to do better.”

“why? They work day and night.”

“Don’t work hard, do well! Among the investments I’ve decided on, the lowest return is six times. What is the return on their own investments that those employees manage?”

“That’s…”

“It’s only 22%.”

Oh Se-hyun kept his mouth shut. It was his father who saved Oh Se-hyeon, who was silent.

“hey! Don’t you know I’m busy? What’s going on, come or go?”

My father burst open the door and entered, taking off his coat.

I heard that now my father is busy trying to get the release of two films made by his production company.

“why? Haven’t you caught the opening yet?”

“Oh no, don’t say anything. The entire theater is empty for New Year’s Day.”

“what? Isn’t it full?”

“It’s like waiting for a movie that’s perfect for the Lunar New Year holidays. It was a mega hit during last year’s Christmas season. Home Alone. American films.

“Is that movie great enough to leave the theater empty?”

Oh Se-hyun’s playfulness began.

“It’s a comedy while being a family movie. It’s perfect for the Lunar New Year holidays. Besides, it’s been verified in the US. Because it’s breaking a new record for all-time comedy box office hits.”

“Is that why you can’t hang your movie?”

“Because Home Alone walks me out of the theater.”

His father’s expression was not good, as if he was in a difficult situation.

“Damn, by the way, I heard there is a Korean distributor for this movie, but I don’t know where it is. The entire Chungmuro area is now in a state of chaos. I’ll have to meet the guy with the film to adjust the date or set up a movie theater… I’m going crazy.”

Oh Se-hyun, who enjoyed this appearance, changed to a solemn voice.

“You bow to me first.”

“There is no time for fooling around. Just tell me quickly.”

“I know who the Korean distributor of that blockbuster movie is? Don’t you still have the heart to bow?”

“what?”

Oh Se-hyun handed out a piece of paper to his father, who was startled. Quickly grabbing the paperwork and reading it down, the father swallowed dryly.

“This is…”

“Did you forget English? I do not understand?”

My father couldn’t take his eyes off the company name printed in the signature line at the bottom of the document.

< June Film >

“What the hell… did this happen?”

“As long as you sign, Home Alone is yours. I hate it or quit.”

When Oh Se-hyeon tried to take the documents back, his father quickly signed them and put them in. Seeing how he took care of the contract without asking for details, I could tell how urgent he was.

“father. During the holidays, show your father’s movie first instead of that movie.”

Both eyes were focused on me.

“What if I told you to give Home Alone to theaters that show your father’s movies? Isn’t the Lunar New Year holiday the peak season?”

As soon as I finished my words, Oh Se-hyun burst into laughter.

“Listen to my son. You will continue to listen to Do-jun and do what he tells you to do. Then there will be no failures? Hehe.”

My father opened his mouth, looking back and forth between the papers and my face.

“Do-joon. Let’s deal with this in more detail.”

My father grabbed his coat and rushed out. I felt like I knew how urgent it was now.

“Oh, that guy… he’s still the same.”

“What?”

“huh? oh your father If that guy is obsessed with one thing, he won’t look at anything else. Even when I was studying abroad in London, whenever I found a good play, I only watched it hundreds of times. Right now, he must be hanging his movie theater on his head. They don’t even ask why Home Alone is in our hands.”

“It’s good to be focused.”

I held up a piece of paper with the box office revenue of $200 million written on it.

“uncle. All of this money is invested in the movie that goes into production this year. First of all, make a list and listen to the opinion of the US side. Then we decide and move on.”

“entire? Do-joon. I’m satisfied with one loaf of bread…”

Oh Se-hyeon hid his words.

You must have remembered that you, who only earn 22%, are not talking to me, who has 600%.

The advice is to look down from above.

Up and down is not age. The result has to be divided.

“okay. Let’s start with a list of movies that are being planned or going into production in Hollywood. If Miracle says they want it, Hollywood producers will step in first.”

Oh Se-hyeon packed his bag and went back.

I also have to spend more time studying until I graduate from middle school. Chairman Jin’s expectations will not fade only when he maintains top-tier grades.

Anyway, for the next three years, it’s free to choose a successful movie.

It’s a family with a lot of waves, so I hope nothing special happens.

* * *

A few days before the Lunar New Year holiday, an editorial with a unique perspective was published in the newspaper with the largest circulation.

“The reckless management of a company without an owner. Is the professional management system a structural weakness of large corporations?

”

……syncopation.

It is standard for Ajin Motors, which has a professional management system, to pay large dividends to shareholders. However, the management of Ajin Motors was in a hurry to increase the size of shareholders instead of profit.

It established new affiliates such as Ajin Machinery and Ajin Precision, and invested funds from Ajin Motors into these companies.

For whom? Of course, it is for the expansion of management.

Now dozens of executives have been born again. They will decide whether to fill their own pockets or the pockets of shareholders.

But I don’t believe in that decision for some reason, is it my old age?”

Hyunchang Song, chairman of Ajin Motors, who threw down the newspaper, pressed the intercom and shouted.

“Gather all the executives! Even the head of the PR department! right now!

After a few minutes of walking around the president’s room with great enthusiasm, a knock was heard and about a dozen people rushed in.

There was a sofa that could only seat eight people, but not a single one sat down. Because the president is standing.

Some of them were also holding newspapers.

“What is this? Who is it?”

Chairman Song took the newspaper and shook it.

“Sorry. We are looking into it now.”

I saw a man standing like a trembling aspen among the people who could not raise their heads or make eye contact.

Seeing that he still has almost no gray hair, he must be the head of the PR department.

“Don’t you advertise in the Daehan Ilbo these days?”

The man also answered the president’s question.

“no. All the way…”

“Then you mean you paid money and got stabbed in the back of the head? this…!”

Chairman Song, who bit his lip and exhaled heavily, shouted at the public relations manager.

“hey! promotion!”

“yes! President.”

“You go right now and give money or a woman into the hands of those who hold the pen to find out what they want.”

The public relations manager bowed and ran out of the president’s office as if running away.

“President. You seem to be overexcited. Isn’t that the tactic used by newspapermen when they ask for more advertisements?”

“They are trying to be condescending to say that our new car has been sensational, thanks to them. A full-page advertisement will change completely within a week.”

The old executives who managed to gather courage spoke cautiously to relieve Chairman Song’s anger, but it was like pouring oil on them.

“These friends! What are you talking about? That’s why we should chew on our new car. Why chew on management? Are you saying that sanely?”

Then everyone woke up.

The media also keeps its boundaries. When you ask for something, hit the product, not the person. Products do not have emotions, but people are emotional animals.

In particular, attacking management is no different from a declaration of war to turn one’s back.

“This is award winning. I have something.”

Chairman Song, who was walking around the chairman’s office, gave the management a fierce look.

“Find out who did it until lunchtime. I believe everyone can find out that much information.”

When the executives left the chairman’s office, Chairman Song slumped down on the sofa.

Last night, the bed was disturbed…. The uneasy feeling did not go away.

* * *

Chairman Jin, who folded the newspaper and put it down on the corner of the table, raised a spoon.

I also thought that he was the chief editor of the Daehan Ilbo.

Establishing a subsidiary to produce key parts for the increased number of automobiles is a natural step in management.

They caught this and distorted it as if a professional manager created an unnecessary affiliate to promote his person.

The immorality of the management of Ajin Motors and the writing skills of catching two rabbits by making a large company without an owner seem to have no safety device.

Chairman Jin, who had a good breakfast after a long time, went to the study. Lee Hak-jae, who was also reading the newspaper, got up and bowed his head.

“This is my friend. just eat breakfast here Am I not even sick with you?”

“If you are sick with the president, will the rice be served properly? I’ll just take your word for it.”

Chairman Jin looked at Lee Hak-jae’s hand, who smiled, and said.

“how is it? Did you choose well?

“yes. It came out appropriately as a signal flare.”

“When will the second car go in?”

“On the eve of the Lunar New Year holiday, all of the central daily newspapers will be shooting. At this Lunar New Year’s table, we should make Ajin Motors a hot topic. We plan to make Ajin Motor so hard that you can chew it at the table.”

“What happened to the National Tax Service?”

“We are coordinating. Brush too hard and you’ll be completely exposed. In case you drool somewhere else…”

“I can’t give you porridge.”

Chairman Jin nodded.

“yes. How shaken is the management? Anyway, the goal is the resignation of Chairman Song Hyeon-chang.”

Lee Hak-jae took out a thick booklet while taking a peek at Chairman Jin’s expression.

“This is the report you mentioned. It was prepared by the Sunyang Economic Research Institute.”

Chairman Jin only glanced at the title of the report.

「The need for restructuring of the domestic automobile industry and the government’s support plan」

“How is it? Is it useful?”

“Good selection.”

“The research institute is such an ambiguous bunch. It’s nice that it’s well made… but it took eight months to make one?”

“Since the issue itself is so big and important, the research institute was careful not to get caught. It came out well, so let’s move on.”

“Let’s go, then? Do you think I will catch them too?”

“I think you’ve been very sensitive lately. sorry.”

“I think you are more sensitive now that you have a big fight ahead. why? Is your blood boiling?”

Lee Hak-jae scratched his head and smiled.

“Isn’t a surprise attack like this more thrilling than an all-out war?”

“Ambush is used when a small guy hits a big guy…”

“It also has the advantage of less bleeding. An all-out war must begin sooner or later.”

It was Chairman Jin who felt the will to fight in Lee Hak-jae’s intense eyes.

At first, he hesitates and warns of danger, but when the fight begins, he gets excited much more violently than himself, the chairman.

Prove once again that you are a born fighter.

Chairman Jin was a little sad.

If Lee Hak-jae’s parents were lords of castles, he would have become an extremely strong monarch

.

As I thought about this, another fighter came to mind.

His grandfather is the lord of a castle who owns a huge territory.

How he will grow… I wanted to watch with joy.
