[065]A world where villains live 4.
“Dojuna. There are some things I heard… I need to check with you.”
“yes. Please speak.”
This kid has a serious expression that doesn’t suit today. What are you trying to say when you suddenly call out to buy me a meal?
“Did you know about the merger with Sunyang Motors in advance?”
How could these words come out of this guy’s mouth?
He couldn’t hide his embarrassed expression. Seeing my expression, Jin Yeongjun’s eyebrows twitched. In this case, it is the correct method.
“yes. I found out the day before the announcement. why?”
“how?”
“My uncle… no, Miracle CEO Oh Se-hyun asked my grandfather for a suggestion. They even gave me a proposal detailing the merger conditions.”
“Why are you asking that? Is it something we should meet in person?”
“Youngjun hyung. Daehyun Group was monitoring CEO Oh Se-hyun’s every move. If CEO Oh had gone to see his grandfather, Daehyun would have known about it first.”
He said it with an expression that seemed to tell him not to sound frustrated. Doesn’t this seem like a big deal?
But how did he know? Was this guy, not my uncle, tailed behind me?
“Is that all?”
“then? What else should I have?”
“Don’t you know what I mean? Did you just go back and forth and deliver documents this time?”
Why is this child suddenly like this?
He never doubted that Abbie Ji would become the owner of Sunyang, and he naturally accepted the blessing of being born with good luck.
Could it be that the Hansung Ilbo’s daughter instigated it?
Are you really going to marry her?
I don’t know everything about Jin Young-joon’s youth, but he never married into a media family. She was the daughter of the president of Sunyang’s subsidiary company, who listened to the word “this guy’s wife.”
Will something change?
“hey! Jin Do-jun. Aren’t you talking straight?”
“Why are you screaming in surprise?”
I had to stop thinking about the past because of this guy’s shouting.
I can’t tell you straight… What should I say?
“In fact, there is a secret contract between my grandfather and CEO Oh Se-hyun, but I can’t tell you about it. It was a fact that I had no choice but to find out, and he told me not to tell anyone until the official announcement.”
“To whom? just who am i? Is it someone else!”
He seemed to be struggling to get up from his chair. It was natural for him to get angry at the thought of being the crown prince.
Shall we make it a little hotter?
“Who is it?”
“what?”
“Youngjun hyung doesn’t have any authority right now. Don’t you know?”
“hey!”
“What? It’s a contract between my grandfather and CEO Oh Se-hyun, and no one knows. It’s a secret contract only between the two of you, not even your uncle nor Chief Lee Hak-jae doesn’t know. Do you think you have more authority than them?”
If you don’t get what you want, that habit of yelling and looking at things mixed with annoyance, if you couldn’t fix it when you were 30, you won’t be able to fix it in the future.
Seeing him get a different wife from his previous life, it seems like something has changed, but that guy’s personality hasn’t changed.
After a bout of irritation, the pattern of flirting with sweet sounds that can be seen inside is still the same, right?
“You man. Don’t you remember what I said before?”
“what…? Ah, at the villa after the exam?”
“okay.”
still the same
“I remember. Did your brother tell you? Be my right hand.”
“It’s not just a thrown word. I’m moving next year. When you graduate from college, you will become a managing director or managing director. I ‘ll make a seat next to me then…”
I raised my hand to block Jin Young-joon’s talk.
“Youngjun hyung. I am no longer a child. I am not an idiot who believes only in promises of an unlikely future.”
“what?”
“This merger announcement was made without my uncle knowing. Even though you are the vice president of the group.”
“What are you talking about?”
“Don’t you know? My uncle’s succession structure is still incomplete. Doesn’t that mean that Grandpa can break at any moment with a little fickleness?”
Jin Yeong-joon shows a sensitive reaction to the succession plan and urges me.
“so? Is that why my right arm refuses? Are you looking for a chance to stick close to your grandfather? ok? Are you saying you want to compete with me or my father? I’m full of energy.”
“older brother. Don’t be too impressed. For me, it’s all just fun to watch. Anyway, the youngest son of the youngest son, Sunyang Group, has no relationship with me, so I am not greedy.”
“Are you serious?”
“Sure. And… Honestly, what do I regret? It sounds like I’m bragging, but if I put my mind to it and study for just two years, I’m confident in passing the bar exam. you know? I am good at studying.”
“So?”
“While being a prosecutor or judge, I enjoy life by banging and banging loudly. I’m not treated socially, I’m not worried about money. And you know what? My father is doing well in the movie industry right now? If I stretch out my hand, pretty actresses come into my hands. The son of a third-generation conglomerate, the president of a judge, prosecutor, and film company. How many women would refuse this title?”
Jin Young-joon’s eyes twinkle strangely.
sick bastard. Maybe the life he wants is the life I was talking about.
“So, are you going to kick Inja Lee’s position at Sunyang Group?”
“Who said it was kicked? If a real number one suggested it, I might give it a try, but right now, Youngjun hyung isn’t number one.”
“If I become number one, I might not have you by my side. We have many cousins. And it might prevent even one share of Sunyang Group’s stake from going into your hands.”
He scratches his pride and even makes unrealistic threats.
“I told you? I have nothing to regret. We are not envious of keeping only what we have in our house.”
The story should end here. I scratched his speed and appealed enough that my family is not greedy.
“Honestly, being the youngest member of a conglomerate family is more comfortable. My older brother, Sang-joon, also dropped out of college and went to art school in New York. I do not cling to the impossible.”
Finally, all you have to do is plant the seeds of distrust and anxiety.
“older brother. I will tell you just one thing.”
His upper body tilted forward, as if he had guessed that he was saying something important.
“Second and third eldest father and aunt and uncle. Everyone is greedy. I don’t flinch. They are not the ones who will sit back and watch the entire Sunyang Group go to my brother’s house.”
“Did you think I didn’t know that? Dad will take care of everything anyway. Our house is not just for playing.”
I said it confidently, but my eyes widened when I saw myself smiling.
“Are you… is the secret contract you know about the succession plan?”
“It may or may not be.”
“hey!”
“Again again. older brother. Stop screaming!”
“Oh my… I’m sorry. Do-joon. Say something. I am the eldest son of this family. You can’t be beaten and beaten.”
“older brother. Originally, the kingship should be inherited by the eldest son and the eldest son for the country to be at peace. When the second or third son inherits, there is always a bloody purge. So, I hope to sit in the chair of the Sunyang Group in the order of my eldest father and older brother. That way, I don’t think there will be any damage to our house.”
“Of course not!”
If you lift it up a little, your hardened face will open up.
I didn’t know it when I was a lower person, but when I stood side by side and looked at it, I saw what I saw.
I’ve seen a heavy and strong figure for over ten years, but it was all the weight of the title of vice president. This is just what I saw.
“As a result of the merger with Sunyang Motors, the shares of affiliates owned by Sunyang Motors will flow to other affiliates. That affiliate becomes an important company in the group. Right?”
“yes.”
“What if someone other than my uncle took over the company? The group may split.”
“Is that the content of the secret contract?”
It’s a fact that you can know if you think about it a little bit, but what’s a great secret?
“The contract I saw is all about the title. This is the < Measures to Reorganize Group Governance >.”
“Governance Restructuring?”
“yes.”
The governance structure of the Sunyang Group is difficult for anyone to grasp at a glance, as circular investments between subsidiaries and even institutional financial institutions are involved.
It is so complex that countless experts look at the stock market every day and supplement it every day.
This is because the number of stocks my family owns is so small that without such a complex structure, control could be lost in an instant.
“Now, I helped my older brother as much as I could. Now it is up to my uncle and older brother to protect it.”
Unlike the first time, I smiled at Jin Yeongjun, who looked at me with a happy look.
“Now let’s cook. I am hungry.”
“Oh yes.”
I wondered what would happen in the future as I watched Jin Yeong-joon calling for an employee. Because of the Sunyang Motor, each of the claws that have been hidden will be revealed a little. It remains to be seen whose claws are the sharpest.

When Miracle Investment was selected as the target for acquisition of Ajin Group after three days of review, the people of Sunyang Group cheered.
The path is complicated, but it is like taking over Ajin Group without spending a single 10,000 won.
『……However, as clearly stated in the acquisition proposal, the merger between Sunyang Motors and Ajin Motors is the priority. It is revealed that the selection of the acquisition target takes effect at the point of completion of the merger process between the two companies.”
Oh Se-hyun did not laugh even after seeing the news announcement.
It must be because it feels like the Sunyang Group took over the Ajin Group.
“uncle. are you okay. We are not bridesmaids. Sunyang Motors will come by.”
“Okay. In an M&A floor like this, you are bound to be dragged by the strong. Now the initiative has passed to Sunyang.”
It seems that I can’t shake the thought that the dollars I collect like Altoran go to Sunyang Group.
“When is the payment for the acquisition?”
“Immediately after the merger. It is 1.2 trillion, so we have to move 1 billion dollars.”
“Maybe next year at the earliest?”
“Shouldn’t you ask your grandfather about that? If the merger process is rushed, it could be by the end of the year.”
Oh Se-hyun stared at the computer monitor and checked the current asset details.
“All in all, it’s 3.2 billion dollars… Since the current exchange rate is 1100 won… It’s a little over 3.5 trillion won.”
“How much money is tied up?”
“$600 million. As you said, this year I only kept it in cash without any new investment. I will pay back all 600 million dollars next year.”
This was good enough.
The money invested by squeezing the memory came back more than a hundredfold.
I had a little bit of useless imagination about what it would be like if a fund manager who flew and crawled on Wall Street in the United States was reincarnated instead of a farmhand like me.
Wouldn’t such a person take the place of the world’s richest man at once?
“I’ll move $1 billion for now. So that I can pay at any time.”
I hurriedly waved my hand.
“no. Let it be. I have to pass the end of the year anyway.”
Oh Se-hyun took her eyes off the monitor and started looking at me.
“Are you…”
“Yes? What?”
“Did you catch on too? Isn’t the rise in the exchange rate a bit strange right now?”
“Isn’t everyone anxious but trying to turn a blind eye? Did you jump 250 won a month? Don’t you feel the dollar slipping away like the ebb?”
“Aren’t you going to find stability by the end of the year?”
I’m not the kind of person who would notice, but I ask useless questions. Everyone thinks like that. They try to hide the approaching typhoon because of the bankruptcy of large corporations and the great wind of the presidential election.
“There is a difference between a rising exchange rate and a dollar going out. Doesn’t that mean that if the dollars run out, even if you hold tens of trillions of won, it will be useless? On a deserted island, a box of bread is worth more than 10 billion in cash.”
“You mean bread that you can’t get even if you have money… dollars?”
Nodding his head, Oh Se-hyun turned his gaze back to the monitor with a sad expression.
The exchange rate fluctuation graph is unusual.
