With the Time Shop, I Too Am the Greatest Conglomerate of All Time

Episode 63. Gowon Group.(2)

At the beginning of next year, a decision will be made with the victory of Vice Chairman Jin Seon-ho.

It’s not like I’m leaning towards one side yet.

“Taewoo, I couldn’t have imagined that you were a member of the Gowon Group’s immediate family.”

When we find out that Tae-woo is the son of Vice Chairman Jin Seon-ho.

All of this made sense.

Jin Seon-ho was fighting with Jin Chang-ho for a long time, so he must have needed an ally he could trust.

If it was a smart son who inherited blood, it was a perfect condition for him to become an ally.

“I should have said it sooner. sorry.”

“There is nothing to be sorry about. Because I think it would have been a little too much for the country to say.”

“Thank you for thinking that way. Let’s have a drink.”

snap.

As we were clinking glasses, a good idea flashed through my mind.

‘Maybe in this situation, I might be able to take advantage of it.’

“Burn. You don’t want to go to work, do you?”

“Of course. I originally wanted to be a professor. It may sound like blissful bullshit to you, but I’ve thought hundreds of times more that I wish I had just been born into an ordinary family rather than a highlander. Then I wouldn’t have to force myself to go to work like this.”

“Am I not going to let you go to work?”

“you? In what way?”

“Let me meet your father once.”

“My father? why?”

“I will go and convince you. Just let me be a professor.”

“Arthur. My father is no ordinary man. It’s not because I’m ignoring you, but even executives in their 50s from the Gowon group can’t even speak properly in front of their father. Even though it’s a face I see every day, every time I see it, I get a feeling of being withdrawn. I’m like that, how would you be?”

“Don’t worry about that, I have a rather large liver.”

No matter how great Vice Chairman Jin Seon-ho was, he would not have come from the future like me.

Then there was no need to be afraid at all.

Moreover, since I know the future of Vice Chairman Jin Seon-ho, who will fall to such an extent that he cannot be called a chaebol, it was even more so.

“..Do you really want to meet my father?”

“okay. let me meet you Do you really want me to kill you for asking me to send you to school? Even in the worst case, I would come after hearing a few shouts, but I have to do that to make it better for you.”

Taewoo looked at me with a moved face.

“..Thank you.”

“The problem hasn’t been solved yet, but thank you. That means if your father says you can keep going to school, then do it.”

3 days later.

In front of the home of Vice Chairman Jin Seon-ho in Jangchung-dong, Seoul.

As one of the leading conglomerates in Korea, a large front door was blocking the hanok-style house that looked expensive at first glance.

Taewoo asked.

“Are you really okay? Again, you’ll just get angry and get kicked out. You’re a stubborn person anyway, so you’re talking to me and you’re not going to listen to me.”

“You have to do it to know. Let’s go in.”

“..okay. You want to do it but you can’t help it let’s go.”

When Taewoo rang the doorbell, the front door opened immediately.

Passing through the well-maintained garden and opening the door to the house, a living room that looked like a hundred pyeong was revealed.

A woman in her 50s came out of the kitchen and asked Tae-woo.

“Burn. Come on. Meals?”

“I came to eat. old lady. What about your father?”

“The president is in the study now.”

“okay? I know.”

The woman looked at me and asked.

“Oh my, that’s great. bring a friend home You’ve never been like that.”

“It’s just that this guy wants to take a look around the house.”

“I see. What kind of fruit would you like?”

I waved my hands.

“it’s okay. I’ll be there in a little while.”

“okay. then. Take a rest.”

After the woman left, she asked Tae-woo.

“Where is the library?”

“Are you going right now?”

“then. If you’re going to get sold, it’s better to get it right quickly.”

“It’s over there. Follow.”

Jin Seon-ho knew that his son had come home.

I pretended not to know.

good head too.

He was a child who had a wide field of vision and wanted to keep it close to him at work.

For the first time since such a child was born, he disobeyed his words.

“Ugly bastard.”

Jin Seon-ho shook his head once and looked at the report again.

At that moment, Taewoo’s voice came along with a knock on the door.

“father. I am. anybody home?”

Did the guy who used to avoid me on purpose change his mind?

Jin Seon-ho opened his mouth with a little anticipation.

“..come in.”

In his eyes, he saw the first man he had seen with Tae-woo come in.

Jin Seon-ho asked, pointing at the man with his chin.

“Who did you bring?”

The man stepped forward and opened his mouth.

“hello. Vice President. My name is Tae-woo’s friend, Kang Jae-woon. I am in the same class as Taewoo.”

“If it’s your classmates, Seoul National University classmates?”

Jin Seon-ho’s expression softened a little.

“okay. If you are in the same class as our Taewoo, it would be a great resource. But do you have anything to see me?”

“yes. I have something to say to the Vice President.”

Now, a freshman in his sophomore year at university dares to make a proposal to himself, who is no different than the de facto president of the Gowon Group.

‘Fresh.’

Jin Seon-ho smiled with a cute face.

“haha. to me?”

“Tell me where. Since you’re Taewoo’s friend, I’ll give you five minutes.”

“thank you. I heard that the vice president wants to have Tae-woo by his side. Can’t you take that heart away?”

Jin Seon-ho’s forehead, who was deeply curious about this young talent, was wrinkled.

“dare. That’s off-topic. You don’t deserve it.”

Even the air in the study seemed to freeze with the momentum Jin Seon-ho exhaled.

Jae-Woon spoke naturally.

“If I say this, will I be entitled to care? If you leave Tae-woo alone, I can help the vice-president and make him the president.”

At those words, Jin Seon-ho’s momentum softened a little.

“..what do you mean? What can you do to help me become president?”

“You seem interested. So, if you like what I’m going to say from now on, please just leave it alone.”

“..Tell me first.”

“I understand that you and Vice Chairman Jin Chang-ho are fighting for power for a while now. I will take away the power of Vice Chairman Jin Chang-ho. So that the Vice-President can become the President.”

“I mean, it’s plausible. By what means did you deprive your brother of his power?”

“Isn’t Vice Chairman Jin Chang-ho’s foundation in automobile affiliates?”

“If you deal damage to those auto affiliates, Vice Chairman Jin Chang-ho’s power will naturally drain. I will use the Fair Trade Commission as a means of that.”

“Are you going to risk falling over the auto affiliates with the Fair Trade Commission?”

Jin Seon-ho shook his head.

“It’s not like that. It will be a bit annoying if the FTC investigation comes in, but the largest automaker in Korea will not be hurt by that.”

“It also depends on the reason. What if the Fair Trade Commission investigates the collusion case? Wouldn’t it still hurt?”

collusion.

It refers to the act of maximizing profits by negotiating with sellers who sell the same type of product in advance on the production quantity, transaction partner, and sales area.

It is classified as a serious matter among the violations of the Fair Trade Act.

A hefty fine of up to 10% of sales, not net profit, could be imposed.

In addition, depending on the degree of violation, it could lead to prosecution by the prosecution, so it was a violation that companies wanted to avoid unconditionally.

If they are investigated by the Fair Trade Commission on charges of collusion.

Until the results of the investigation came out, the second brother had no choice but to worry about protecting his auto affiliates, his garden, rather than fighting for the chairmanship.

“Um… if it’s a collusion, it’s going to take a lot of damage. But there are two problems. One is that there is no evidence that automakers were colluding. The other is that my brother has a lot of influence over the Fair Trade Commission, so even if there is evidence, it is impossible to know whether an investigation will actually take place.”

“The domestic automobile industry is dominated by almost three companies. It has never been caught before, so isn’t it the best environment for collusion? Even two of them are affiliates of Kowon Group, so it’s strange that they don’t collusion. Evidence will come when we find it.”

“How are you going to find the evidence?”

“It has to be done by the Vice-President. I don’t have the ability to even find evidence of that. We are still in the same group, so if the vice president wants to, he will be able to find it.”

Jin Seon-ho was not funny.

“If I do that, what are you going to do? Was it just a few words of help you offered me?”

“Of course not. If the vice president finds the evidence, I will move the FTC.”

Jin Seon-ho asked in surprise.

“Are you going to move the Fair Trade Commission? how?”

Jaejoong laughed.

“I can’t tell you because it’s a trade secret. Anyway, isn’t this a pretty plausible help?”

If Jae-Woon could really move the Fair Trade Commission, the evidence of collusion could be obtained sufficiently by Jin Seon-Ho’s power.

However, there was one problem, and Jin Seon-ho did not readily answer.

When he didn’t say anything, Jaewoon asked.

“Is there something you don’t like about what I said?”

“..not that the way you said is bad. But I am the vice president of Gowon Group. Automobile affiliates are also members of the Gowon Group, but they cannot take the lead in things that may cause great damage.”

“Are you part of the same Gowon group? That’s wrong. Assume that Vice-President Chang-Ho Jin pushed Vice-President Chang-Ho Jin and took the position of Chairman. At that time, are those auto affiliates still tied to Kowon Group?”

“..you mean if I become chairman, the auto affiliates will go away?”

“of course. In your opinion, are you the kind of person who will leave the auto affiliates gracefully because your older brother, Vice Chairman Jin Chang-ho, has been pushed out of the chairmanship?”

Jaewoon’s words shocked Jin Seon-ho.

Jin Seon-ho, who thought about Jae-woon’s words for about a minute, nodded.

“You are right. He’s not the kind of person to give up so easily what’s in his hand.”

“Yes? Automobile affiliates are companies that have no relationship with the vice president anyway. Whether or not the vice-president takes the presidency.”

That was true.

Afterwards, Jin Seon-ho will take the seat of chairman.

Instead of relinquishing the chairmanship, Jin Chang-ho separated the automobile-related affiliates from the group and took them away, causing the Gowon group to split in two.

“…if it’s going to happen anyway, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to give it a try as you said.”

“yes. So, are you going to leave the burner alone?”

“..if you really move the FTC, then think again.”

In fact, at this time, Jin Seon-ho was more interested in wealth than his son Tae-woo.

Although Taewoo was a smart guy.

The will to do business was weak.

I can believe it’s my son, so I was trying to force myself to use it by my side.

An unexpected talent appeared in front of him.

If Jae-Woon helped him, it didn’t matter much if he released Tae-Woo.

However, I purposely did not give a definite answer because I wanted to keep the connection with fortune.

“Hmm. Okay. We will see you again after the Fair Trade Commission moves.”

“But for the time being, Taewoo, please send me to school. Without him, I feel a little lonely.”

At that, Jin Seon-ho burst out laughing.

“Shh. I get it. Don’t tell Tae-woo to quit school for a while.”

Taewoo was dazzled.

Jin Seon-ho looked at Tae-woo with a proud expression.

“okay. You’ve got a very funny guy as a friend. I thought you only had a talent for studying, but now I know you also have a talent for making friends.”

“Iknow, right. I never knew this guy could talk so well.”

Jin Seon-ho opened the drawer, took out a business card and handed it to Jae-woon.

“This is my direct number. If you want to contact me, call me here.”

After Jaewoon and Taewoo left the room, Seonho Jin picked up the phone.

“A manager. Among my friends from Taewoo University, there must be a guy named Kang Jae-woon. Find out what he is doing.”

“Can I know to what extent?”

“Investigate and report everything related to your family, your personality, your relationships, your property, and your past. Especially what it has to do with the Fair Trade Commission.”

“All right. President.”

It was a very sensitive time, so I couldn’t trust people easily.

But only when it becomes clear that he is not the assassin sent by the second brother.

I was thinking of using Kang Jae-woon seriously.
