53 episodes. Because that’s where you are now.

– I will open the bid box from now on.

With the broadcast, the wicket that made you sweat began.

One facilitator took out the bid documents one by one and revealed the bid price.

The other wrote the amount in chalk on a classic board.

Those blackboards and chalk I saw every day in school.

‘It brings back memories.’

For reference, not all bids were written down, but only when more than the previously called bids came out.

Thanks to this, the crackling sound of chalk did not sound often.

-2313,200 dollars.

It was the highest price that came out when it did not exceed 2 million.

People shouted at the overwhelming bid, and the Chinese who wrote the amount raised their arms.

Then, as if he had already won the bid, he shook hands with the acquaintances next to him, and there was a commotion.

It’s so noisy I’m going to die

“Aren’t you supposed to be more bitter than that?”

Yoohyeon asked, swallowing her saliva.

I guess I didn’t see the bid because I was in a hurry to submit the documents.

“Well. It’s coming soon, so keep an eye on it.”

“Looking at your expression, you’re so calm that you can’t sit still. Hey, $2.3 million is over 2.3 billion…”

“I think it’s expensive because you think it’s 2.3 billion won per horse.”

“That’s one horse.”

“No. It contains the pride of a man, the liquidation of the humiliation of the past, and the bright future to come. How many billions would it be?”

“What the hell does that mean?”

What is a dog whistle?

I can’t reveal everything right now, but it will definitely be a deal.

Ahal-Teke cannot live anywhere but here.

These and three billions are not a large number as they are the horses they want to give up on so many racehorses.

“I’m just saying don’t worry. You just have to trust me and follow me.”

The documents in the bid box were showing the bottom while he and Yoohyeon were hesitating.

And Park’s bid was revealed.

-3,399,999, 999 dollars!

He filled in the number 9 to the dollar unit.

It seems that he will not tolerate being bid due to the last digit in any case.

“Crazy!!”

The sound of madness resounded from all directions.

Everyone thinks that 2.3 billion is a lot, but one billion more went up there, so that’s the sound.

“Young friend, how much did you spend?”

“Jin, how much did you spend?”

“Yoosung!”

Everyone looked at me and had a dry mouth.

I······

before bidding.

Kang Jun-ho kept thinking about his worries.

It was because he did not think that Jin Yu-seong would even make an appearance at the horse auction house.

‘Whoa, I’m going crazy.’

Obviously, I expected that the funds would have run out, but there were variables.

Because right now there were other white people besides Tranus Bacon beside him.

Because they played with each other, the wealthy’s friend was more likely to be the wealthy man.

“Chief Kang, don’t be shaken and use the original 2.3 million dollars, right? Actually, that’s too much.”

Kim Woo-shik wet his dry lips with his tongue and continued speaking.

“The auction price is 1.5 million dollars and the expected winning bid is around 2 million dollars. It is certain that we put 300,000 dollars more on it.”

“Dae-ri Kim is right. Manager Kang is conscious of that guy for nothing, but $2.3 million is too much for a horse.”

Manager Park also chimed in and helped out.

However, Kang Jun-ho was very bothered by Jin Yoo-seong.

He kept thinking that $2.3 million was not enough because he was confident that he was as quick as a manager in the secretary’s office.

“Chief Kang. If you feel uncomfortable, how about filling the back seat with 9?”

Kim Woo-shik couldn’t see it, so he suggested that I write a little more.

He, too, felt uneasy knowingly and unknowingly from Kang Jun-ho’s hesitant appearance.

“Even if one of the bidders writes $2.3 million, we’ll win if we fill all the back seats with nines.”

“Hmm……”

“You decide quickly. You have less than three minutes left.”

Director Park felt like his shit was burning.

“Okay. Fill in the 9.”

“You thought well.”

Kang Jun-ho continued to speak while fixing his glasses.

“And on top of that, we’re going to raise another million dollars.”

“Yes!?”

“I’ll take the responsibility, so spend an extra $1 million to bid.”

“Ah, no. How about spending another billion dollars anyway?”

“If you don’t get Santa Maria, the loss won’t be a billion dollars. So bid like that.”

After Kang Jun-ho’s decisive decision, Manager Park hurriedly filled out the bid documents as if he had no choice but to rush to the bid box.

“Chief Kang.”

“Yes, Kim Dae-ri.”

“Clearly, there must be a censure from the superiors.”

“It’s okay. Opportunities will come again. But if you don’t win the bid for Santa Maria, it’s the end. It’s later and nothing else.”

Kang Jun-ho looked at the open bid box and folded his arms.

“Let’s see the results for now.”

***

The facilitator blinked his eyes at the documents he took out of the bid box.

It was as if he had seen something wrong.

The people shouted out in frustration at the sight.

“What are you doing! Hurry up and announce your bid!”

“Anyway, 3.39 million dollars came out, so let’s finish it quickly!”

Not everyone thought it would be over $3 million.

The game was almost over, but the reason he didn’t leave was because he wanted to see the face of the person who submitted the crazy amount of $3.39 million.

– I will announce it.

The bidder was called out after the neck of the facilitator shook once.

-3,399,999.95 dollars!

“What!? Point ninety five?”

“95 cent?? (95 cents??)”

“Oh my god! (OMG!)”

“Is that real? (Is it true?)”

The intestines turned over.

Everyone looked like they couldn’t believe it.

It was surprising that the bid exceeded 3 million dollars, but it was nothing compared to the difference of 95 cents.

“You bastard!”

Manager Park ran like a thunderbolt and grabbed my collar.

“Chief, why are you here?”

“Did you see!? Did you steal our bids!?”

“How do I see it? Say something that makes sense. Oops, I’m dead. Oops.”

When I did the wrong job, the host came running and ripped off Manager Park.

Suddenly, Kang Jun-ho also came and looked at me and bit his lip.

Then he turned his gaze to Tranus and asked.

“Why? Mr. Bacon.”

“……?”

“Why are you doing this to me? You don’t think you’ve been intentionally disturbing me from before?”

“Look, I think I got the street number wrong.”

“You won the bid for the racehorses and Santa Maria.”

“No, no. I no. You must have misunderstood, but I’m not interested in the racehorses that won today’s bid, nor in Santa Maria.”

“……”

“Oh, did you think I was an investor?”

“Isn’t it?”

“That young friend participated with his own money. So, even face-to-face is that young friend.”

At those words, Manager Park pushed away the host and said.

“What kind of money does that beggar have!? Are you lying?”

“Hey, there rude gent. If in doubt, you should look at those bid documents in person.”

Tranus raised his brows and lowered his voice.

Seeing that his muscles were bulging, Manager Park was ecstatic and took the bid documents the facilitator was holding and checked them.

“Horse owner… Jin Yu-seong. It’s ridiculous…”

Director Park approached me with a bewildered expression and asked.

“Well, then, why did you write that bid? To be honest, it’s not about 3 billion won.”

“Ah, that’s it? I was nervous, so I spelled the 2 wrong as 3. Hahahaha.”

I once heard

Numbering mistakes are a common occurrence in closed bidding auctions.

“What kind of…”

Director Park looked at the number written on the document.

I wrote it like a mistake in curly handwriting, so it would look like that. Huh.

“…What is 95 cents?”

“It would be a waste to use anything other than the final 9. So I filled it with 9, the largest number. The same goes for cents. It would have been less than a cent.”

“Sent… sir… bal…”

I felt like my ten-year-old congestion was going down.

Dollars aren’t the only money!

“Jin Yu-seong, then, why don’t you just say it was a mistake and give up on the winning bid? We will pay the bid deposit.”

“Why do I have to do that? Even if I make a mistake, a successful bid is a successful bid.”

“That said, it must have been intentionally interrupted from a while ago.”

I laughed out loud at Kang Jun-ho’s words.

“If it was intentional, what would you do?”

“……”

“Seeing you can’t answer, I think the threat is correct, heh.”

If it had been before, I would have been very scared.

The chief of the secretariat under the direct control of the chaebol president was terrified.

But there have been times when I was really terrified.

When Henry calmly talked about his family at the casino with a nonchalant expression.

Compared to back then, no matter how terrifying you look, it’s not scary.

I guess experience is wealth.

“Doctor, get down on your knees and apologize.”

Kang Jun-ho first spoke to Manager Park as a commander.

“Yes? Manager Kang, what are you doing now?”

“Get down on your knees and apologize! Be respectful!”

“……!”

At Kang Jun-ho’s angry shouting, Manager Park’s face rotted in an instant.

“Can’t you!?”

“…No, that’s…”

“I’ll say one last thing. Get down on your knees and apologize.”

“……”

The humiliating expression is evident.

I felt a little sympathy for Director Park, who bowed his head to Director Kang, but I made up my mind.

There is an old saying that one word would pay off a thousand nyang debt.

That means, on the other hand, you could owe a thousand nyang.

It was also said that the mouth was the source of all evil.

“Yoo, Yooseong-ah. Over there…”

When Manager Park hesitated and gave me luck, Manager Kang emphasized and said:

“Kneel, I told you to get down.”

“……”

I clicked my tongue and waved my hand.

“Uh huh, that’s okay. What are you on your knees for? Still, you’re not the boss you used to be.”

I don’t usually feel embarrassed because I see people kneeling while everyone is looking at me.

Bullying isn’t something anyone does.

I wonder what kind of mentality the wife of a chaebol who did this in a department store directly and casually.

“Oh, thank you. Yooseong-ah. And forgive me. I’m sorry I made a mistake…”

“A mistake? Could it be? The manager is like that. It’s not that I don’t know.”

“It was all my fault. So I gave up on the bid…”

I cut off Director Park’s words in a cold tone.

“I do not give up on winning bids.”

“……!”

look at that, that one

My face turns red right away when I say it doesn’t go my way.

Still, it’s brave to be patient without saying “wow!” like before.

Maybe it’s because there’s a person named Kang Jun-ho behind him.

“Director. Whether it’s a coincidence or not, it would be better to be careful in front of me as much as possible.

“……”

Seeing my cheeks twitch, I clenched my molars.

Yes, be patient. Because that’s where you are now. Like I did before.

“That’s right. Did you say Kang Jun-ho?”

“yes.”

“I think this is enough to sit at the negotiating table. Please contact me as soon as a seat is available.”

I took out a business card and handed it to him.

Inham Outside Director.

If you’re an executive at a company with annual sales of 2 trillion won, wouldn’t it be easy to negotiate?
