Son of a Conglomerate at the Highest Level

＜ Investor ＞

Cha Seong-jun laughed.

“I’ve won so many construction orders in the Middle East, how is the financial situation of construction companies like this?”

The more I looked into the ledger of Taesung Construction, the more I was filled with energy.

“How the hell were you running the company? Did your father leave this scene alone?”

It was so absurd that Cha Seong-jun covered the ledger.

I picked up the phone instead.

-hello?

“Father, this is Sungjun. I am calling about the issue of funds held by Taesung Construction. Can I speak for a moment?”

-Since Yunseong was in charge, he must have seen a loss. How serious is your voice so serious?

“At this rate, even if we win the construction of subway line 2, we will not be able to complete it.”

-what? Is that enough?

“There is another problem. The estimated construction cost for subway line 2 is about 180 billion won. Even if the government pays all the construction costs, a deficit is expected.”

Chairman Cha’s sigh came over the phone.

-Yes, we have to bear the deficit of at least 30 billion. Instead, chavage will be ours.

Reserve land refers to land acquired, executed, or sold by a project operator to cover construction costs incurred from urban development projects.

– I have to sell it to cover the lack of construction expenses.

However, Chevage pays in arrears.

Usually, after a subway station is built and a lot of buildings are built, the price of land starts to skyrocket.

So, even if you sell Chevage, it will be difficult to get the full price.

-Still, everyone will rush to win the construction of subway line 2 because their eyes are wide open.

“Yes, if we pre-occupy land near the subway station and sell it, we will make a lot of money.”

– The deficit remains even after covering it there.

“Father, I am going to sell that information to secure construction funds.”

– Mmm. It won’t be easy.

“People have clearly witnessed skyrocketing land prices in the area where the subway line 1 station is located. High-ranking political and political figures deserve attention to secure slush funds.”

-That’s an issue to discuss after our Taeseong won the subway line 2 project. In the screening of subway construction bids, the status of funds held by the construction company is also important.

“So it has become an urgent problem that needs to be addressed right away.”

Cha Seong-jun forced a sigh.

“I feel like I have no choice but to organize my own money and put it into Taesung Construction.”

– How much of your own money do you have?

“Did you forget? Didn’t I travel all over the country, building hotels and resorts, and paving roads? At that time, I bought the surrounding land in advance and resold it, so I got quite a lot of pockets.”

-Yes, but there is no choice. Shall I introduce you to the bank presidents?

“Isn’t the banknote something my father should use? I know that in order to acquire Taesung Chemical, it will be difficult even if we bring in all of the affiliates’ funds and even pull out bank loans.”

Chairman Cha sighed softly.

-What are you trying to do? Let’s say you dispose of your personal possessions. Then what about the rest of the money?

“I’ll probably have to borrow a private loan.”

Chairman Cha’s sigh flowed through the phone.

There is nothing more frustrating and frustrating than money problems in a person’s life.

The same is true when running a large company.

-really. Hyunmoo Construction CEO Oh called me earlier. The balance will be put into the bank account of Taesung Construction by tomorrow, so he said to hand over the land documents quickly.

“yes?”

-The Suseo-dong apartment site. You sold the land well for the right price from the terminally ill patient, Hyunmu Construction President Oh.

It was the sound of an unexpected amount of money coming into the bank account of Taesung Construction.

-Good job. What the hell did you do? President Oh of Hyunmoo Construction is not a very easygoing guy. It’s the first time I’ve seen such a rush.

“…”

Father, I would like to ask a question.

How did this happen?

I never sold the Suseo-dong apartment site to President Oh of Hyunmoo Construction.

-Sungjun, stop borrowing money. I’ll get the money.

“Are you the father? What are you going to do?”

-You just have to give up the acquisition of Taesung Chemical.

When I arrived at my house in Hannam-dong after stopping by Taeseong Department Store, it was already evening.

“I’m home.”

“Oh, my golden boy!”

“grandfather!”

“Come, grandfather is here!”

Grandpa, who was smoking a cigarette in the garden, ran over with a big smile and hugged me.

How many times must I have put my hands in my armpits and turned round and round in place?

“Oops, I’m so dizzy I can’t do it anymore.”

“hehehehe.”

“You haven’t had dinner yet? Your grandmother made a lot of delicious side dishes. Go ahead and eat.”

“thank you. Grandpa eats too.”

“no. Grandpa has something to discuss with your father.”

When I asked what it was, it turned out to be a problem with Taesung Construction.

Grandpa went up to the study on the second floor.

In my opinion, I wanted to go up as well, but since my mother caught me, I couldn’t get out.

I have no choice but to quietly receive the meal.

“Junghyuk, what did you do and where did you play all day today?”

“I came to meet the alley leaders.”

You can’t even say that this delivered invitations to the titans of an earlier era.

“What were you playing with? It was fun?”

“······I just came here to watch the skinny ones.”

I can’t say that I’ve been gambling at a gambling house.

“Hee hee!”

“Kheop!”

Uncle Cheol-gu and Jong-tae Yoo, who had been eating together, spurted rice.From noble mtl dot com

Now is the time to eat whatever they give you, regardless of whether it’s cold or hot!

I pretended not to notice and quickly made fun of the chopsticks.

‘Hey, guardian deity!’

[also?]

The Grim Reaper, who had been stealing cards all day, had a dark circle on his face.

[······Let’s take a break too.]

‘It’s not too late to rest even after death.’

[Uhhh, share your view!]

* * *

What stood out the most in my father’s study was the pile of papers piled up on the desk.

My father raised his head while processing paperwork as if he was sinking into his desk.

His face was very haggard from working all day without rest, staying up all night.

“Are you here?”

“You don’t even know I’m here because I’ve been working so hard? Are you working while eating dinner?”

“sorry. As you can see, there is a lot of work behind the scenes.”

“What do you have to be sorry for? I’m more sorry You scolded me because of your ugly uncle.”

Grandpa gave his father a small pat on the shoulder.

“Even if you are working, take care of your meals while eating. This is all about making a living.”

“yes.”

“Sit here. Your mother said you came, so she made a lot of things.”

Grandpa took out a 7-tier lunchbox and placed it on the table in the drawing room.

“In spite of your mother’s sincerity, just take a bite.”

Only then did my father get up and head to the sofa in the living room.

I gave the table to my grandfather and prepared tea for myself.

“I’m sorry, father. You have to give up Taesung Chemical, which you have worked so hard to grow because of me. I have no face.”

“it’s okay. Hundreds of companies come and go every year. It’s just a business once and for all, it’s not even work on this floor.”

Grandpa looked down at the car his father had given him.

“The company can do it again. But once a family is lost, it is difficult to regain it.”

It was hot honey tea with steam.

“I thought that this would be a good thing for my kid, even when I tried to build a strong marriage. It was my desire to have at least one more reliable hill.”

Grandpa blew the honey tea and drank it.

“But if you don’t like Pyongyang, that’s enough. What’s the point of having a strong wife if you hate it? I just want you to live well. Everything else is fine.”

“thank you. I will always pay for this loss.”

“That too. Company work is enough to make you tired while weighing gains and losses. Let’s not live so meanly with our families.”

Grandpa grinned.

“Did I go through a war? It was a tough time. I lost all the foundation I had and started with my bare hands and came up here. Even if I lose a few companies here, it is a business that remains for me.”

“father.”

“Whenever I was exhausted and tired, it was my wife and children who lifted me up. Just looking at his sleeping face made me feel tired and have the strength to endure tomorrow.”

Grandpa was lost in his flashbacks and seemed to recall those days.

“You say you go through all this hardship to protect your wife and children, but I don’t know how you feel. No one else knows, but I have to help you.”

“sorry.”

“If you look closely at Taesung Chemical, it was prepared for you from the beginning. If you don’t like it, I have no regrets. So there is nothing to be sorry about.”

After drinking the honey water in one gulp, Grandpa put down the teacup.

“If you look at the money you spent, it’s not that much. So it’s enough to count as a good experience for a cheap price. Let’s stop lingering about the past and prepare for the future from now on.”

“Yes, Father.”

“New Year’s Eve night. I will meet Woo-gwang there. I intend to make a big declaration of war.”

“A declaration of war?”

“Anyway, a broken marriage. On this year-end night, I will introduce my daughter-in-law and grandson, and I will clean things up with Woo Guang. I have no intention of raising my golden grandson as an out-of-wedlock, dirty illegitimate child.”

Grandpa looked relieved.

“You should also show yourself proudly in front of everyone. Who are the people you have chosen, and what is the status of Taeseong? I will firmly give my strength to this subway construction.”

“thank you.”

“It should be as flashy as possible to attract people’s attention. If you don’t want to see your wife and children being pointed at.”

“I will do my best.”

“good. Let’s show only the hopes and possibilities that Taesung Construction will create there.”

“If it’s Taesung, I will instill that confidence that he will definitely win this subway project.”

“good. Originally, stocks are also investing by looking at the future. If things seem to be successful, money and people will naturally follow. People follow the trend. Our Taeseong needs to make the trend.”

Grandpa put a piece of bulgogi on top of my father’s lunch box.

“After the year-end night, let’s relax and have a New Year’s breakfast with the family. You should introduce your wife and children to your family. Wouldn’t it be sad if only the family didn’t know?”

“Yes, I will.”

Grandpa nodded.

“So don’t worry about anything else and just prepare for the subway construction. I’m not the one to drive Woo-gwang.”

It is after he has already circulated a threatening note to move public opinion.

“It’s the same with money. I will take care of the debentures myself…”

It was then.

Ding-dong! Ding dong ding dong!

Secretary Kim walked to the study without hesitation.

“Chairman, young master. I brought the money.”

Taesung Group bodyguards put down the safe and heavy suitcases that had been ripped open.

thud!

“It’s about 3 billion won in cash.”

“Three billion?”

“Is that all in cash?”

If it is 3 billion won, how many apartments will there be in Gangnam?

It seems that he robbed the safe from the house written on the IOU.

Secretary Kim said.

“The investor said they would invest about 5 billion won in Taesung Construction.”

“investor?”

Grandpa and Dad jumped up at the same time.

“Tell me in detail how this happened!”

“What are the investment terms? Who are the investors?”

Secretary Kim chuckled.

“sorry. Investors want to keep their mouths shut. But on New Year’s Eve, he said other investors would be able to check it out.”

“On New Year’s Eve? Are there any other investors?”

“yes. Now that investors with such large hands have appeared, the problem of insufficient funds for Taesung Construction will be solved to some extent.”

“good! Then I will have to raise the plate more.”

Grandpa clenched his fists.

“Secretary Kim, get the Hankyungryeon phone book!”

“Yes, I understand.”

“Along with the phone book of high-ranking officials!”

“yes.”

“Even President Oh of Hyunmoo Construction…”

“The investor said that it was pre-approved by the owner of the Hyunmu Hotel.”

“okay?”

The expression on my grandfather’s face turned bright.

“That went well! How can things work out so smoothly? It seems as if heaven is helping us.”

* * *

I stopped sharing my vision with the grim reaper.

‘investor.’

The one word that Secretary Kim chose stuck in my heart.

‘Anonymous Investor. Sponsors who can decide the terms of the investment. The person with the right to exercise coercive force if necessary.’

Are you okay?

It was so frustrating to not be able to move because my hands and feet were tied because of the age of seven.

I had to use an agent to get an invitation and jump into the gambling table once.

-In order not to damage Taeseong’s name.

-Don’t stand out as a seven-year-old kid.

It’s only once or twice that I get help from Yoo Jong-tae or Mr. Cheol-gu.

I was annoyed because I thought it couldn’t be like this every time.

‘What if I set up an investment company?’

I lingered in the room for a while.

As the night progressed, the worries deepened.

So it became a year-end night.
