Following President Kim of Wookwang Construction, the grim reaper slowly approached.

jump.

At that time, the door to the mayor’s office at Seoul City Hall opened.

The person the mayor Gu brought out was his father.

The old mayor burst out laughing with a very satisfied expression.

“Thanks to you, it seems that the idea for subway lines 3 and 4 is firmly established.”

Mayor Gu gave his father a small pat on the shoulder.

“As expected, it’s fun to have a conversation with someone you can relate to. If it hadn’t been for the meeting of the mayor, I would have had a deeper conversation with you. This is very unfortunate. Let’s make a promise to our next one.”

“yes.”

“I really like your confident and aloof attitude. How much more faith are you going to give me here?”

The old mayor smiled happily.

“The bidding materials for the construction of subway line 2 should be properly prepared and submitted.”

“of course.”

“I have no intention of leaving a blot on my resume. So you’ll have to pay more attention and submit your data. There is a distinct difference between my mind leaning toward Taeseong and pushing Taeseong with my eyes closed even though I prepared the construction bidding documents in a hurry.”

“Yes, Taeseong won’t skip anything, so you don’t have to worry about that.”

“good! That’s what I wanted to hear! Be careful and go back.”

“Then let’s go.”

Father greeted politely.

Wookwang Construction President Kim and Secretary Choi saw it and stopped walking.

President Kim of Wookwang Construction crumpled his expression.

“I thought they were going to meet and lobby the decision makers before construction. That’s political-business adhering.”

However, the answer came from the mouth of the old mayor, not from his father.

“Cheong-kyung collusion? Then why did you come to see me?”

It was a sharp sound.

“I have ears to hear and eyes to see. It seems that you are trying to interfere with my affairs by roasting city councilors and district councilors as well as city hall officials. I don’t really like that. That is business-political adhesion, what is this?”

“Mayor Gu, I think you have a little misunderstanding.”

“misunderstanding? So, you’re saying that I don’t even know X, but I’m pointlessly nitpicking. Because this is so absurd.”

The old mayor walked away without looking back.

My father, too, walked in the opposite direction and had long since disappeared.

Wookwang Construction President Kim quickly followed Mayor Gu’s footsteps.

“Mayor, please give me a minute. I have something to tell you about the construction of subway line 2.”

“Have you entrusted your time to me? I’m going to be very busy, so I just want you to go back.”

“It’s important. A proposal that is so attractive that you will surely think that it was good to make time for it…”

“Right. If it was a suggestion, I had to do something. fair.”

“yes?”

“It will take more than 30 minutes until the meeting of the mayor is over. It’s the end of the year, so it’ll take more than an hour.”

“Yes, I will be waiting.”

“In the meantime, please draw a map of subway line 2.”

When Mayor Gu gestured, the aide immediately handed over a map of Seoul.

President Kim of Wookwang Construction opened his eyes wide.

“What do you mean all of a sudden? You want me to draw a map of subway line 2?”

“We decided to change the route map of subway line 2. Woo-gwang is one of the most promising contractor candidates, so I want to give him a chance to express his opinion on the subway plan.”

The old mayor smiled wickedly.

“Draw a subway line that Woo-gwang dreams of. I just need to film about 40 stations.”

“How can you draw a subway map in an hour?”

“Don’t think too hard. If you do well, you will get extra points, and if you do poorly, there will be no disadvantages.”

“Right now, Mayor Koo isn’t making difficult demands, he’s making ridiculous demands!”

Wookwang Construction CEO Kim’s crumpled face did not straighten up.

“40 stations? So how many things do you have to consider? Woo-gwang has to bear all the construction costs, but such an irresponsible request…”

“Why can’t you? not confident? Taesung did it in 30 minutes. Do you think Woo-gwang is having a hard time?”

“······yes?”

President Kim of Wookwang Construction asked back in surprise.

“What did you just say? What is Taeseong doing?”

“Taesung drew a map of subway line 2 within 30 minutes. He even did Hyeonmu, but he says he can’t do as well as Woo-gwang.”

“In four or thirty minutes? Both Taeseong and Hyunmu?”

Mayor Koo gently touched the shoulder of President Kim of Wookwang Construction.

“You can give up if you don’t have confidence. I guess that’s Woo-gwang’s ability.”

President Kim of Wookwang Construction seems to hold back abusive language.

“I don’t think I would like to work with someone who has no ability, no vision, no knowledge.”

“······I’ll do it. Let’s try. We have to do it somehow.”

“good. You are so eager to run, so trust me and wait.”

Why does Mayor Gu’s smile look so sinister?

The old mayor left for the meeting room without looking back.

Left in the corridor of the mayor’s office, President Kim of Wookwang Construction pulled out his hair.

“Zenzaang!”

As soon as he saw the map of Seoul that Mayor Gu handed him, he spat out the swear words he had endured.

“How did Taeseong film and submit 40 roles in 30 minutes? Even filming one station in a minute is not enough time! What’s with all these crazy bastards?”

He was at a loss as to where and how to get his hands on this.

The grim reaper chuckled.

Then, leaving Wookwang Construction President Kim alone, he disappeared somewhere.

It must have been because the grim reaper had other people to look out for besides President Kim of Wookwang Construction.

Those are the gangsters of Taesung Chemical that Mr. Cheol-gu selected.

* * *

The sharing of sight with the grim reaper was cut off just like that.

‘Looking at the expression of the president of Woo Kwang Construction, the subway map is wrong… Oh! Master!’

I suddenly came to my senses.

I worked hard on my short legs and quickly ran to my master.

I wondered what the golden document Master was holding was.

“hello?”

I put my hands together and bowed my belly button.

“No, who is this? Aren’t you a little guest?”

“I didn’t visit the pawnshop, so please leave out the word customer.”

“Okay, what should I call you instead of the little guest? Shall I call you the third generation of Taesung Group?”

Master laughed.

“I’ve guessed since the secretary started following him around, but I didn’t know that he was the youngest grandson of Taeseong.”

“I will formally greet you. I’m Cha Jeong-hyeok.”

“Yes, thanks to you, I received the invitation well, and I had a lot of good viewing. You drank expensive alcohol from your grandfather. Thanks to the kongsul, the price of the oil that was rolled in the car was paid off.”

Anyway, if it’s a kongsul, he’ll wake up suddenly even if he’s sleeping.

“Thanks to that, Taesungdo was able to attract investment. thank you.”

“What is gratitude? This one was salty too, so it was a pretty good deal. If there are any more cases, please ask again.”

“So what. Players have to help each other.”

“Yes, the bottom players share the good numbers.”

Our priest looked at us and smiled.

“If you have time, would you like to have a cup of tea with me?”

“I’m still on my way to the coffee shop here at the hotel. Big!”

“I’ll take a pair of cars. Float two eggs.”

“Are you showing off because you’re a child of a family? Why is your taste so sophisticated? To drink with two eggs floating. her!”

“sure. He is the 3rd generation of Taesung Group, but he can afford that level of extravagance.”

“Oops, this is about time…”

Before Master checked her watch, I shook my coin purse.

“Of course I will live.”

“Looks like you have plenty of time left until your appointment. Then, should I use a double-breasted car?”

Anyway, if it’s free, you’re the kind of person who would drink lye as well.

But I gladly opened my wallet.

“Then, I’ll give you two eggs, too, sir.”

“Oh, I’ve never had a drink this luxurious in my life, and I can’t wait to see what it tastes like.”

In my cold and hungry childhood, I received great grace from my teacher.

I am grateful that they matched me with new clothes because it is a new semester in spring.

Thank you for sneaking up on mosquito repellent in the summer.

Thank you for giving me the money to buy a book, telling me to bookmark the autumn leaves in autumn.

I’m also thankful that you baked sweet potatoes or rice cakes on the stove in the pawnshop in winter.

“By the way, who did you come to the hotel to meet?”

“Do you know if I tell you?”

“Perhaps.”

Master seemed to be at a loss for words, so he cleared his throat for a long time.

“What did you come for? Someone who thinks that hotels are expensive.”

“Who came because they wanted to come to an expensive hotel? I was told to come to the hotel because the things I have are noble, so I had no choice but to come.”

“Anything that trembles?”

I can’t help but tilt my head.

Master used to meet such people not at hotels but at pawnshops.

Most of them came to me on their knees, saying they wanted to use an urgent money.

“I’m thinking of setting up a bank.”

“Pooh!”

Unbeknownst to me, I blew out the ssanghwa tea.

That’s why Master’s remarks were shocking.

“Are you setting up a bank?”

Master was a person who worked in the shadows all his life, rolling money at a pawnshop.From noble mtl dot com

No matter how many properties you have, even if you become rich in land by sweeping up good real estate.

Master never once hinted at the bank.

So I have to be surprised.

Why all of a sudden?

“It happened thanks to you.”

That was more absurd than saying that he would build a bank.

It was so absurd that I couldn’t help but ask.

“No, what does the bank have to do with me?”

“Didn’t you send me an invitation?”

invitation?

“Do you guess what kind of people I met and what I talked about last year’s New Year’s Eve? Unbelievable! It’s like lightning going through your brain, your eyes wide open.”

“I heard it was just like that when you woke up to the bonds while rolling in a war barrel?”

“okay! It was to the point where I felt like I was wasting my past life, living with a narrow outlook, why I had stupidly fallen to the bottom because I didn’t know such good things until now!”

Master thumped his knee.

“Are you saying that the words of the people who decide the ambassadors of this country are full of valuable information? I got my very good one there!”

“What did you hear?”

“Financial Reform.”

Master quenched his thirst with a sip of Ssanghwa tea.

Indeed, the voice became deeper and clearer.

“Little boy, have you ever heard of a debenture freeze?”

“Yes, the President invoked the emergency order and turned the debentures into pieces of toilet paper in an instant, right?”

It’s comfortable because I don’t have to deliberately act like a child in front of Master.

“Only the amount of debentures whose source of funds was reported for a week was about 360 billion. This amounted to about 80% of the total currency supply in Korea and about 34% of the domestic loan balance.”

“…!”

“It was an extreme measure taken to wipe out underground finance that was encroaching on institutional finance and to absorb funds from the private bond market into institutional finance. Thanks to this, institutional finance, which had been unsound, was revived, and we were able to block bad debts from banks.”

“her······!”

“Would it have been a good deal with the government’s will to forcibly revive 45% of the top 83 insolvent companies?”

Master looked at me with her mouth wide open.

Then he burst into laughter.

“You really are seven years old…! No, it’s done. yes you are all right It was all right, nothing more or less.”

“So why is the debenture freeze measure? Are you saying that the second loan reform will be implemented again?”

“A smart and good guy is quick-witted. Yes, there were rumors that another financial regulation was being prepared.”

well. Probably not.

‘That’s probably a rumor spread on purpose.’

In fact, the economic and political burden that the Blue House had to shoulder was quite large just by enforcing a one-time debenture freeze.

It was said that even as a president, it would be too much for him to carry out a series of financial reforms that would cause the economy to fluctuate greatly.

Moreover, the time when the presidential election is being held in July next year.

It seems difficult to throw an irrational number into the financial world once again.

“I don’t know how many big financial regulations this military regime enforced. Not only currency reform and exchange rate devaluation, but also regulations such as freezing of private loans come out one after another! If the government once lifted the sword of regulation, underground finance would be annihilated in droves.”

However, Master’s thoughts seemed different.

The lowered voice became more intimate than before.

“Sooner or later, it seems that regulatory measures will be taken to curb real estate speculation.”

8.8 Property regulation!

Although it is certainly enforced to prevent overheating of real estate speculation.

“Real estate regulations inevitably follow the regulations of the financial sector.”

Master smiled.

“So it’s a bit early, but we’re also thinking of setting up a bank and going out to Yangji. Before regulation gets in our way. I’ll have to play in bigger water.”

Unknowingly, I blankly looked at Master.

‘Good?’

I think I know why that document is shining golden.

This was a good opportunity for me, Master, and Taesung.
