“Negotiations are over. Today, the exchange rate as of the 8th is 1342 won. You paid 1,600 won for it, but could there be any ulterior motive?”
“It could be over two thousand won. By the time a billion dollars of your money is in my hands, you’re going to lose a lot.”
“Will the exchange rate really rise to 2,000 won?”
I need to check the forecasting ability of the Sunyang Economic Research Institute. Is it true that the rumor that all the really smart people gathered?
“More than 90% chance of rising to 2,200 won. This is the prediction of the researchers at the institute. It doesn’t always fit, but sometimes it does.”
Grandpa glanced at me.
“why? Isn’t it a waste to think that it will go up to 2,000 won?”
“I have already told you once. It will be over two thousand won. But it’s not worth it at all. Aren’t you my grandson? I’m not a petty guy enough to think I’m losing my grandfather.”
“I know I’m not a petty guy. He’s not the one to lose either. What? Any additional conditions?”
Being pretentious to a quick-witted person only arouses needless vigilance. I’m going to have to get rid of Kim when the word comes out.
“I would like to ask you two favors.”
“So it is. good night. tell me Let’s see if you have enough to make up for your losses or if you can make up for a bigger gain.”
He pulled out the map he had prepared in front of his curious grandfather.
“Isn’t this a map of Seoul?”
“yes. Take a look at the area circled in red here.”
The grandfather, who had been carefully examining dozens of locations, raised his head.
“What is this place?”
“It is a public land owned by the city of Seoul.”
“common?”
“yes. I want to buy this land cheaply.”
“Um… are you asking the mayor of Seoul to put pressure on you?”
“no. It is now only 6 months left in the mayor’s term. We should ask the next mayor, no.”
Grandpa’s eyes lit up at the word request.
“Did you have your uncle in mind?”
“That’s right.”
“no.”
As if there was nothing more to hear, I pushed the map away.
“My uncle will pay for the election campaign. When my uncle becomes the mayor of Seoul, he sells the public land, and the grandfather only needs to pressure the constituency member to sell the public land. Maybe there is no need for pressure from the National Assembly.”
Pretending not to hear my grandfather’s stubborn refusal, I continued to speak.
“Well, don’t you say no?”
“The cause is good. If the city of Seoul sells all non-business land to raise finances amidst the national economic crisis, there will be no opposition.”
“Ugh! That guy!”
“Can you tell me why you are against it?”
“That guy is Choi Ga, not Jinga. Isn’t this enough reason for objection?”
Vein also means male blood. A daughter’s blood is out of the family realm.
I pretended not to understand and said nonsense.
“The mayor of Seoul does not have a great influence on the Sunyang Group.”
“Choi Seo-bang’s plan to do politics came from Ji’s wife’s head. He is just a puppet for his wife.”
Aunt Choi Seo-yoon is trying to cover the handicap of being a daughter with political power.
Very few Korean politicians stand up to Jin.
Even without looking through a microscope or looking through a magnifying glass, you can check all the expedients of the Sunyang Group. But everyone closes their eyes and pretends not to see. Even if someone brings up this fact, it is buried immediately.
If a powerful politician starts talking on the speaker, it is almost certain that trouble will continue to arise.
I know very well that my aunt uses that power to ask for Sun-yang’s share as much as her son, even though she is a daughter, or tries to get more.
“Grandpa.”
“Stop it!”
“Why don’t you think of making your uncle a puppet of the Sunyang Group?”
“what?”
“Until you sit on the chair of the mayor of Seoul, there will be all sorts of filth and dust on it. Isn’t it a puppet if you hold it?”
“That filth and dust come from Sunyang. If it explodes, even the sheep will be hurt.”
“I’m going to cover that dusty filth. That’s why I’ll be holding my uncle’s collar tightly, so you don’t have to worry about my grandfather.”
“Look at this guy. I pay for it, but you’ll pay for condescension? Yeki! Hey.”
Grandpa snorts as if he is dumbfounded.
“no. I’ll give you the money too. Also, use it occasionally when your grandfather needs it.”
“what? Do you pay for the money too? then just push You don’t need my permission, do you?”
“You can’t even get a nomination if your grandfather makes just one phone call to the ruling party representative, right? Isn’t it?”
Grandpa started looking me in the eye without saying a word.
“Please allow me to pretend to be the owner of the Seoul City Hall just twice for 8 years. Wouldn’t it be better to pack everything you need within that period?”
I can hear all the hard head rolling. Eventually, Grandpa opened his mouth.
“What is the second?”
“Do you allow it?”
“not yet. Tell me from the second.”
“Please stop the flow of government subsidy to Daeah Construction.”
“What are you? Daeah Construction?”
Grandpa’s eyes widened at the oddly protruding name.
“I have no intention of parking on public land. I have to put something on the ground. Wouldn’t there have to be at least one small construction company to do that?”
“small? If it is Dae-a, it is 5th in the subcontracting ranking. Do you think it’s going to be a hole?”
“grandfather. I am the owner of Ajin Group and Sunyang Motors. Compared to that, Daeah is a hole-in-the-wall shop.”
Suddenly, a smile spreads across Grandpa’s face. is it permission?
“Yes, this guy is serious.”
“yes?”
“You said you were running your own company. I’m not talking about asking you to take off Sunyang Construction, but I
‘m thinking of taking over Dae-ah…….”
As I laughed and said it like a joke, my grandfather changed into a strange expression again.
“It can be given… or not… well, it’s meaningless anyway. Because you said you would take over Dae-ah.”
no. Let’s not be fooled. That’s a word that’s trying to piss me off.
I repeated it several times in my mind, but I felt unfair at the thought of doing it.
“Daea Construction…….”
“Yes. There is no company that can escape this current foreign exchange crisis. Daeah Construction is sure to be thirsty for dollars, but if government subsidies are cut off, it will go bankrupt. I will pick it up then.”
“It is a good company. A few bags of blood transfusions and he will be fine.”
“That’s right. It is a company that CEO Oh Se-hyun and his staff carefully selected after digging for several days.”
“So Dae-ah and Choi Seo-bang’s mayor of Seoul are a bundle.”
“yes. When I supply blood and my uncle becomes manure, it will bloom.”
“There is no connection between Choi Seo-bang’s election and Sun-yang at all, so there’s no problem?”
“That’s right.”
Grandpa started tapping his fingers on the desk, a habit that comes out when deep in thought.
I also waited quietly with my mouth shut.
“After making Daeah Engineering & Construction bloom in full bloom…”
“Of course, I will put the name of Sunyang on it.”
“That sounds really nice to hear. Besides me, you are the only one in this family who is increasing the number of Sunyang subsidiaries. haha.”
I don’t feel good. That laugh is not a pleasant laugh.
“Let’s think about both. Anyway, our contract is over, right?”
“yes.”
“Then hurry up and go back. Even the group presidents are agitated. I’ll calm down a bit when the $1 billion comes in quickly.”
“yes. I will.”
He left without looking further. In case you don’t know, I’ll have to meet my aunt and tell her.

Chairman Jin jumped up from his chair when the back of his grandson disappeared as he left the study.
I wandered around the study to calm the shock I had endured.
It is good that the mayor of Seoul, who is helping the country overcome the economic crisis, is selling public land as a means of raising funds.
After making the market with their own hands and occupying the land, they take over the construction company, which is a means of making the land into a bundle of money.
The picture is so good.
In order to complete this good picture, there are distributions that give up hundreds of billions of won even though the skyrocketing exchange rate is obvious.
Doesn’t that mean you have the confidence to extract hundreds of billions of dollars?
The moment I heard the grandson’s explanation, I forcibly pressed what I wanted to agree to on the spot. Because it’s not something that can be easily borrowed.
And once again I felt scared.
That guy hides the temperament of the most savage beast under a cute and handsome face.
Do not be fooled by the sweet words that Ajin Group will put the name of Sunyang on Daeah Construction.
It is certain that he will steal Sunyang Motors from Sunyang Construction.
A grandson trying to steal something is much more admirable and lovable than a son trying to get his own.
But I couldn’t help but feel afraid and anxious.

“What? said?”
“yes.”
“Do-joon! How many times have I said no? If Dad finds out, the colic will break. i will never allow it it’s big We are all dead now.”
My aunt was making a fuss with a really dying face, and my uncle had a confused look on his face.
“aunt. Calm down. Because it’s okay.”
“What’s okay!”
“honey. Let’s calm down and listen to Do-joon. I must have said it because I had an idea. is not it?”
He’s a guy who plays with his wife’s rhythm, so I’m running out of ideas. At the thought of becoming the mayor of Seoul, he is only making an expression full of anticipation.
“My grandfather said he would think about it. It’s not like you’re against it.”
My aunt took a deep breath and calmed herself down.
“Honestly, do you know why your grandfather is against both of you?”
“why? What are you talking about?”
“You must be embarrassed that your uncle’s campaign funds are flowing from Sunyang. When a political scandal breaks out, it becomes a big problem.”
As if trying to pry something out of me, my aunt began to examine my expression without missing a single one.
“So I said. You can get campaign funds elsewhere, so just pretend you don’t know.”
“also? Did you say anything else?”
“Still, you were involved in politics, but I only told you that it would be nice to look good if you retired from politics after being at least the mayor of Seoul.”
“what? done with the market? Nonsense!”
Stupid baby. I can’t understand the language!
“honey! It’s more important to get over the mountain in front of you. Stay still!”
Auntie’s eyes are much better.
“Do-joon. What if my father allowed it and pretended not to know? Is campaign finance possible?”
“How much does it cost?”
I pretended to be naive and blinked my eyes.
“You have to pay 3 billion in special party dues, distribute about 5 billion to party leaders… and spend about 30 billion in campaign funds. Four hundred billion won?”
My uncle recited numbers as if he had been waiting.
Four hundred billion is not even the name of the dog of the house… He really has no sense of reality.
At least the details have already been pulled out and shouldn’t we wait?
“wow! It’s amazing.”
My uncle’s complexion darkened as he opened his eyes wide and pretended to be frightened.
“Why are you surprised? Isn’t that enough?”
“It lacks a lot. And I have to set aside the money to build my father’s theater.”
The silent aunt opened her mouth.
“I can prepare about 15 billion won. You only need to raise 25 billion. Is it possible?”
“yes. That much is possible.”
The expressions on the faces of the two are just embarrassingly funny.
It is a childlike face that is both surprised and delighted.
“I can’t subtract 15 billion at once. First of all, since I have to pay the special party fee early next year… Please prepare from 3 billion won.”
Is this the brain structure of chaebol people who have no sense of reality?
I don’t care about billions of billions to my 20-year-old nephew. Does the unit of money really start with billions for them?
“Yes, I will prepare quickly. Should I write the contract first?”
“what? contract? What contract?”
The two of them look at me with puzzled expressions.
“It’s money that you can’t even get a receipt for, so you have to have a contract. Don’t you?”
I also started to face him with a puzzled expression.
