[080] A gloomy new year for someone 3
Even in the new year, the sound of the economy collapsing did not stop.
On January 14, Nasan Group went bankrupt, followed by Kukdong Engineering & Construction, which ranked 31st in the business world.
Kukdong E&C, which led the industry and was called the ‘construction five people’, took over securities companies and expanded its business with abundant financing capabilities, but for that very reason it was hit directly by the foreign exchange crisis.
Rumors spread that Daeah Construction, which has a similar character to Kukdong Construction, was in fact bankrupt.
“Didn’t you hear anything?”
Oh Se-hyeon could not hide his nervousness.
“why? Do you think Dae-ah Construction will survive?”
“Don’t believe the rumors. It’s been over a month since I was told that I would collapse today. I guess we got it wrong. The name line is tough.”
“I heard that the financial situation is worse than Far East Construction? How do you hold on?”
“I know yeah! When I entered Southeast Asia and was shattered by the financial crisis there, I was told that the funding line was clogged, but strangely I endured.”
“Does the CEO of Daeah Construction have a lot of money…?”
“Have you seen a business owner in our country who saves his company with his own money? When it’s time to go bankrupt, it’s more urgent to steal the company’s money…”
Oh Se-hyun stopped talking and looked at my face.
“Hey, isn’t this really working?”
“Is that possible? It looks like this inside and out, so how do you steal company assets?”
“Turn around. Since it’s a construction company, there must be quite a bit of land, right? I’m just blocking the bill while disposing of it urgently. They said they hadn’t paid their salaries for over three months. It’s just blocking urgent bills and skipping the kernel. If you do that until you go bankrupt, your pockets will be thick.”
“Uncle, that goes up to criminal punishment.”
“I’m thinking of taking these kids’ money and saying goodbye to Korea. I’m sure they don’t have the slightest intention of saving the company by getting a bailout or whatever.”
give away the night
The only difference between them and ordinary people is that the size of the money they earned is enough to live on for three generations.
In my head, the names of other construction companies other than Daeah Construction passed by. Isn’t it possible to take over a construction company that is left with only chaff after skipping all the details?
But no suitable alternative came to mind.
This is because Daeah Construction is the only top construction company in Korea that has focused on construction without affiliates.
Other construction companies are also affiliated, so it is not easy to take over a construction company separately.
Unlike me who was frowning, Oh Se-hyun’s expression gradually brightened.
“Hey kids. It took well.”
“What method do you have?”
“Let’s open the stockholders’ gun, throw it in with breach of trust and embezzlement, and take the place. I want it to be easier.”
My brain flashed.
Daeah Engineering & Construction’s stock is stuck at the bottom right now. If you buy only 5%, it goes straight to the shareholders’ meeting. After bankruptcy, it may be easier to pick up the company and save it rather than negotiate with creditors.
“Let’s check again and get to work. how is it?”
“great. Uncle too.”
When I raised my thumb, Oh Se-hyeon raised the receiver and said.
“If you become the chairman of a conglomerate, know that it is all thanks to me.”
Oh Se-hyeon ordered the employees to buy shares in Daeah Construction and then put the phone down.
“Where was your cousin’s wedding?”
“The day after tomorrow. Family only attend. I do it secretly like a chaebol.”
* * *
The wedding was held at Chairman Jin’s mansion.
As it was a difficult time, only a minimum number of guests were invited and the media only published articles about it.
At the request of Chairman Jin and the power of the Hanseong Ilbo, reporters camped out around the mansion did not happen.
Although it is said to be a minimum number of people, both families were not ordinary families, so it was crowded with close to 200 people.
“Thanks to you, I was able to visit the Sunyang Group Chairman’s house. It’s the family’s honor, kid.”
“They all look good-looking, maybe because they’re the children of the same family.”
“Didn’t I say the youngest in this family was twenty-one? So, can you marry anyone?”
“Wake up from your dream, bitch. They are all candidates for arranged marriages!”
Next to Hong So-young, who was wearing a pure white dress, the friends of the bride were chatting.
Hong So-young, who has always been calm, could not hide her tension today.
“Where is the new house? Cheongdam-dong? Hannam-dong? is it a villa? Or is it an apartment?”
“This is my mother-in-law’s house in Pyeongchang-dong. Married life is the beginning.”
When Hong So-young said that she would start her honeymoon at her in-laws’ house, her friends frowned.
“As expected, chaebol families still live in the Joseon Dynasty.”
“You’re a fool? Even if they tell me to go out and live, I have to stick with them. Have you seen a prince who lives outside the kingdom?”
“The Vice Chairman of Sunyang Group is her in-laws. will you cook will you do the laundry? will you clean up? It’s a married life where all you have to do is sit at the table morning and evening and smile. What should I do?”
If you are friends enough to hang out with Hong So-young, they are the daughters of wealthy families, but everyone looked at her with envy as she married the eldest son of a different family and a sure successor.
Women hated the eldest son, but when they couldn’t hide their inner feelings that changed dramatically depending on their wealth, Jin Young-jun was greeting guests at a guesthouse decorated as a wedding hall.
Even among the guests, excluding their families, a few key figures from affiliates and major figures from the Hansung Daily were not as busy as all of them.
The crowd of friends dragged Jin Yeongjun to a corner of the spacious garden and held out a cigarette.
It seemed like he was going to buy a cigarette without paying attention while shaking hands and saying hello with a forced smile.
“Youngjunie is getting married. Who will lead us now?”
“Is this bastard still saying that? Marriage is just an act of catering. Our Yeongjun will continue to play with us. Right?”
Jin Yeong-joon exhaled several puffs of cigarette smoke and slapped his friends on the back of the head.
“shut up! cubs Married bastards are fucking like bachelor men. I’m going to be the last to get married, but it’s nonsense.”
“I’m sorry. Among my friends, is there one or two who notice that I am a wife after getting married? You’re saying don’t do that.”
“You sick. It’s because those bastards’ in-laws live better. Young-joon doesn’t apply, so it’s okay.”
“It’s done. After I’m married, don’t move. Youngnam-taeng told me to work at the company in earnest. Isn’t it our position that even if we don’t notice the wife, we have to notice the old man? You have to play in moderation.”
“So it is. Where will our Yeongjun go? okay. I got it. Hehe.”
“I will go again. Let’s go on a honeymoon and have a drink.”
Jin Young-joon lit a cigarette.
“Where are you going on your honeymoon?”
“Prague. And you’ll see me for a second.”
Jin Yeongjun and a friend moved toward the guesthouse again.
“Is he there from yesterday?”
“who? Ah… Hanyang University Department of Theater and Film?”
“okay. A supporting role in a drama or something, that girl.”
“why? We played all night long, isn’t it enough? Are you going to wear it on your honeymoon? Hehe.”
Jin Young-Jun’s friend opened his mouth with a sinister laugh.
“hey! really? did you turn?”
“bastard. Quiet.”
Jin Yeongjun looked around and was relieved when he confirmed that no one was there.
“Take a plane and send it in two days. I’ll tell you the hotel, so make a reservation and contact me in Korea.”
“As expected, Jin Young-joon. Really great. Hehe.”
“At times like this, when will you play without being conscious of the people around you? The honeymoon is only ten days. How do you spend ten days alone with a woman you don’t even know well? If I stay with you for two days, I’ll get frustrated and turn around. I should have some fun too.”
“You seem to really like him?”
“It’s hard to find a body like that. For now, he’s mine. Say I’ll get you a lead role in a drama. Doesn’t he know that if he shoots a TV commercial for our company, he will instantly get attention?”
Jin Young-jun’s friend said with a grin.
“okay. Leave it to me. I’ll set the table for you, so you can eat as much as you want. Think of it as a wedding gift. Hehe.”
Jin Yeong-joon was itching to go on his honeymoon as soon as possible after thinking about having fun with the girl from last night for more than a week.
While his grandson was getting married, he was swollen with thoughts of nonsense, while President Jin was ‘receiving’ greetings from the guests at the guesthouse.
People at the table jumped up and congratulated President Jin when he appeared, and President Jin tapped him on the shoulder a couple of times.
“President. no in-laws. This guesthouse is a bit fancy for a simple wedding. haha.”
Chairman Hong of the Hanseong Ilbo approached Chairman Jin with a smile on his face.
“Oh, in-laws. It’s gold, it’s jade, it’s the granddaughter I raised. You should be comfortable in my house, but I’m being careful for nothing. haha.”
The two joined hands.
“I have something to tell you, so would you like to move?”
Chairman Jin glanced at the attendant and moved to the private room of the guesthouse.
A tea table and comfortable chairs were prepared in a quiet private room.
“Let’s sit down.”
There was a moment of awkward silence, but after taking a sip of tea, Chairman Jin spoke first.
“Chairman Hong.”
“yes. Please speak.”
“Now that you’re part of the family, stop.”
Chairman Jin’s voice was soft, but his eyes looking at Chairman Hong were sharp.
“What are you talking about?”
It wasn’t that he was pretending, but that he didn’t really know what Chairman Jin meant.
“How could I have earned my living by being a writer with this kind of attention? Tsk tsk.”
Chairman Jin clicked his tongue lightly.
“They put the kids behind our family. Stop that.”
“Four in-laws.”
Chairman Hong’s face full of wrinkles could not hide his embarrassment.
“My granddaughter, who wouldn’t hurt even if I put it in my eyes, is getting married, and from the perspective of my grandfather, I think he wants to know what kind of people his in-laws are. That is until now.”
“That’s not it…”
“Just shut up and listen to me.”
I heard harsh words, but far from being angry, I had no choice but to bow my head. He is older and has a higher relationship.
Although arranged marriages are formed because they need each other, there is still a relationship between them.
If one side desperately wants a marriage, an equal relationship between in-laws is impossible.
“Don’t get excited as if sneaking in a granddaughter is a big deal. It’s just that I like it because the little kid is bright and confident. That’s all.”
Chairman Jin raised his teacup and quenched his thirst.
“Our Yeong-joon doesn’t have a clue yet. Even though I am 30 years old, I still like to play like a child. I like to drink and I like to be a bitch. I don’t know if he thought it was easy to put in his hands and knead it because he wanted to be lax…” “
Oh no. President. Never thought that way…”
Suddenly, the title changed from in-laws to president.
“But our kids are fine. because he is my grandson It doesn’t matter if you live with all the faults in the world. Because he’s my grandson! No matter how bad the world is pointing fingers, you can’t even cross the threshold of our house!”
Chairman Jin’s voice grew higher and higher.
“If you put our child up as a scarecrow and have even the slightest idea of touching the Sunyang Group at your in-laws’ house… it’s not too late. If you don’t want to make your granddaughter look like a simple daughter-in-law, erase that thought.”
Chairman Jin got up from his chair, but Chairman Hong couldn’t stand up because his legs were shaking.
“Just because you got married doesn’t mean it’s over. As a son-in-law, don’t tell my child to come or go. There will be no meeting with the family of my mother-in-law. If you want to see your granddaughter, just call her. Today is the last time Yeongjun will see your family. If you meet, that’s a thing. We only meet when we hand out advertisements. Anyone with the surname Hong cannot set foot on the building with the name of Sunyang on it.”
Chairman Jin’s last warning as he left the private room caught Chairman Hong’s ears.
“The Hansung Ilbo pen stand can be broken with the money of the Sunyang Group. Do not take my words lightly.”
Chairman Hong sat alone for a long time in the private room where Chairman Jin had left.
