Chapter 164

Back of the Neck Only Third

I waved hands with a smiling face.

“Grandfather, look carefully.”

“······Yes.”

A voice with strength drained.

Didn’t tightly embrace me and laugh hehe like usual, didn’t spin round and round several turns, didn’t stroke the head for a while.

Instead only continuously burst hollow laughs “Hehe!” as if overwhelming.

‘Still where ended only holding the back of the neck a bit.’

Was pondering whether have to carry to Taeseong Hospital if collapses.

Here entirely Secretary Kim’s merit large.

‘A bit too much making hold the back of the neck three times?’

First when I notified will move on the Taeseong Group management front line.

Second when I pointed and said give the Taeseong Group affiliates I marked.

Third when I declared will also independently jump into the U-gwang affiliate acquisition war.

Thanks to that grandfather already no choice but to hold the back of the neck making ‘eok!’ sounds three times.

-L, let’s solve with our talk, Jeong-hyeok!

Like that had to quarrel with grandfather for as many as thirty minutes.

“Secretary Kim, I held the back of the neck several times today.”

“Please catch breath drinking this.”

Secretary Kim took out a beverage bottle from the briefcase as if waiting.

Grandfather finished one beverage bottle in one go.

A beverage with strange smell with bizarre pictures drawn gorgeously on the bottle.

“What’s that?”

“Fatigue recovery agent.”

“Not blood pressure medicine?”

Because grandfather held the back of the neck.

“Vitamins and minerals full! A product Taeseong Pharmaceuticals recently developed. Young Master also want to try one bottle?”

“This the matter big uncle pushing?”

As the competitor pharmaceutical company’s Bacchus became largely popular, Taeseong Pharmaceuticals also ambitiously showed the new product.

‘The unfortunate beverage that ruined largely and disappeared into history.’

Where only one or two products disappearing so.

This a product that received criticism and ridicule for a long time and was talked about as a joke.

‘Curious so shall try drinking once?’

A vitamin beverage that came out briefly and disappeared when I was young.

At that time I was poor going around back alleys so not in a situation to buy and eat such.

So this first tasting!

Gulp gulp.

Drinking immediately the sense came.

‘There was a reason ruined!’

Also realized why Taeseong Pharmaceuticals that was repeatedly pushed by U-gwang Pharmaceuticals transferred to U-gwang after the oil shock.

“When saying this released?”

“Heard aiming at this summer.”

“If vitamin beverage better adding orange or lemon, apple, what such scent? This really······.”

Invested money making eok sounds for several months to release this.

Moreover used the top actress best going in this era as CF advertisement model!

And still ruined completely and received ridicule for a long time.

I shook the head.

‘Taeseong Pharmaceuticals, really okay like this!’

So transferred to U-gwang at the oil shock!

Like U-gwang has defective affiliates Taeseong also has sore fingers!

The representative affiliate precisely Taeseong Pharmaceuticals.

“Chairman.”

Secretary Kim tapped grandfather’s shoulder tak tak tak tak while taking out a folding comb from the bosom.

Instantly grandfather’s messed hair neatly organized.

Brushing with a portable duster swish swish dust removal end.

Looking at the wrinkled collar instantly patted and even caught the angle.

I admired small.

‘That precisely the secret grandfather always maintains a neat state!’

Heard one capable secretary not envious of ten executives!

Such secretary, only I don’t have!

I glanced at Yu Jong-tae with cloudy eyes and shook the head.

‘Far, quite far.’

Caught the meaning of my gaze?

Secretary Kim’s cold gaze flashed beyond the silver glasses frame.

Secretary Kim stopped following grandfather’s back and beckoned with a finger.

“Team Leader Yu.”

“Yes, I Yu Jong-tae will take responsibility and see off!”

Quick-witted security guard and Yu Jong-tae who claims to be my hands and feet ran quickly and smiled brightly.

“Shall make a reservation for the chairman’s treatment at Taeseong Hospital in advance?”

“Team Leader Yu, not that.”

“Yes?”

“You a person escorting the Young Master······ tsk. This really not okay.”

Secretary Kim took out a portable duster and folding comb from the bosom.

Instantly transformed me neatly with skilled hands.

Even so Secretary Kim couldn’t release the displeased expression.

“Team Leader Yu, escorted Young Master Jeong-hyeok so roughly until now?”

“Yes? By any chance some problem······.”

“Big problem. Attitude as secretary quite rotten.”

“······I not secretary but security team leader?”

“If security team leader the problem more serious. Where the dog sound of saying will see us off leaving the Young Master?”

“······.”

Yu Jong-tae, ended up caught in the trap.

Yu Jong-tae looked back at me with an unfair expression, but Secretary Kim was one step faster.

Secretary Kim snatched Yu Jong-tae’s nape like an eagle after.

“Eueok!”

“Young Master, I will take responsibility and certainly educate this guy.”

“There, Secretary Kim?”

“All this because of insufficient education and cultivation as secretary.”

“No, I security team leader?”

“Good. Now seems more desperate for a capable secretary who received professional education rather than security team leader to the Young Master. Shall I separately select and attach a suitable person?”

“······.”

Yu Jong-tae couldn’t be Secretary Kim’s opponent.

So only rolling feet looking at me like a rain-soaked shit dog.

“Young Master, I can do better! I Yu Jong-tae, please believe!”

“The talents who will crowd beside the Young Master seem only one or two? If like this not even 2nd place, no, not even within ten fingers.”

“······!”

“Shut up and follow quietly.”

Yu Jong-tae was dragged unable even to make a sound.

I handed what pre-contained in the paper bag to Secretary Kim.

“Secretary Kim, really no thought of working together with me?”

“Now proposing recruitment?”

“If coming thank you, or not!”

Then grandfather who was waiting opening the office door first with fast steps shouted loudly.

“Secretary Kim, not going?”

Then abruptly turned the head.

“Why can’t say no words, why?”

“······.”

“Saying if coming thank you, have to do I’m sorry first!”

“······.”

“Team Leader Yu, how in your view? Me, our Jeong-hyeok?”

Clang!

Grandfather’s grumbling ended as Director Go held the armpit, Yu Jong-tae held the legs dangling and put on the car.

All this a matter done with Secretary Kim’s one gesture.

* * *

“Huu, finished the negotiation with the chairman well?”

“Of course.”

Thud.

President Shim who returned to the president’s office wiped cold sweat.

“Any changes in the Taeseong Chemicals Yeocheon national industrial complex relocation plan?”

“None.”

“Indeed our Young Master! Then proceed straight like this?”

“Yes.”

“Haha, good!”

President Shim smiled brightly.

That also because there was what pushing until now, if the plan changes to Ulsan now would have been distant even the work of starting over from the beginning.

“Did the chairman who insisted on Ulsan obediently accept Yeocheon? Not hanging other conditions or restrictions?”

“Just push according to the first plan.”

“Does that make sense? The chairman decided to bear the full cost regarding Taeseong Chemicals relocation?”

“Only borrowed 100,000 won?”

“······.”

“Show the loan certificate?”

“······.”

President Shim who dropped the mouth open soon let out a hollow laugh.

“Surely according to the chairman’s meaning handed over U-gwang Automobile and U-gwang Heavy Equipment and kept Taeseong Chemicals······.”

“Both mine?”

“······.”

“The words just push straight according to the first plan so difficult?”

“Then as declared earlier will also move U-gwang Automobile and U-gwang Heavy Equipment to Yeocheon?”

“Of course. The matter already finished talking about leaving in Ulsan and us rolling?”

“Really?”

I puffed the cheeks.

“I drew the blueprint, and executed as is. Everything became as planned in advance. But why asking repeatedly like this?”

“Really not believing at all so. Don’t I know the chairman? The chairman not a person who would retreat so obediently.”

President Shim was a flustered expression.

“If the chairman certainly U-gwang Automobile and U-gwang Heavy Equipment to the big Young Master······.”

“Played a bit of trick.”

I grinned.

“Didn’t want to hand over even shares, even management rights regarding U-gwang Automobile and U-gwang Heavy Equipment to grandfather. Even so didn’t want to move the factories seated side by side with Taeseong in Ulsan to elsewhere.”

Yeocheon grows as a petrochemical complex, but Ulsan becomes the mecca of automobile and machinery, metal industry.

No reason to move the properly seated automobile industry to elsewhere.

“Leaving side by side in Ulsan and Taeseong and us dividing and rolling separately different story?”

The reason President Shim worries.

“Young Master, the chairman will be guessing. That with only me and former Taeseong Construction executives no ability to properly roll as many as seven affiliates.”

“So now diligently rolling even U-gwang executives.”

“I not in the mood to joke now.”

Who said joke?

I also serious now?

But what President Shim worrying now not himself but my and my company’s future.

So no choice but smiles coming out gently repeatedly.

“The condition of postponing standing on the management front line receiving Taeseong Group affiliates a few years later.”

“Ha, from the beginning the Young Master said no meaning of standing on the management front line receiving Taeseong’s affiliates yet?”

So.

Said trick.

“Grandfather said can’t entrust Taeseong’s affiliates to young me with no performance, no proven ability.”

“That natural words. So?”

“Then shouted largely saying if proving performance and ability enough?”

“How?”

“Decided to compare the performance of affiliates JH Investment holds and Taeseong affiliates.”

“Neeek?”

President Shim dropped the mouth open.

“Will that work? U-gwang affiliate performance far short compared to Taeseong!”

“What again not okay?”

Grandfather also held the back of the neck with exactly the same expression as President Shim.

President Shim also held the back of the neck and fell.

“Especially Taeseong Automobile and Taeseong Heavy Equipment! Don’t know how largely the chairman pushed Young Master Dae-jun?”

“Large expectation and large support not necessarily scheduling large success?”

“So how long the period caught? 10 years?”

“3 years.”

“Eueok!”

President Shim held the back of the neck the second time.

“Young Master, then really impossible! This a matter that doesn’t work even if the sky splits in two!”

“We have President Shim.”

“Even me no confidence growing U-gwang Automobile and Heavy Equipment to Taeseong Automobile and Heavy Equipment level within 3 years!”

“Then shall leave U-gwang Automobile and Heavy Equipment absorbed and merged into Taeseong like this?”

“Eueok!”

President Shim held the back of the neck the third time.

“The justification certain. Taeseong one family, no need to split the same affiliates, I young, we lack capable executives and employees as reasons.”

I half closed eyes tightly.

“The reason not handing over the automobile and heavy equipment I have to Taeseong not to check big uncle.”

“Sincere?”

President Shim opened eyes wide.

“Wasn’t also watching Taeseong Automobile and Heavy Equipment for the same reason regarding the next head seat?”

This old man, pointed wrong.

“I no thought of pointing knives and stirring among family.”

Came up crawling from the bottom of the back alley shadows even without a single penny.

Such me who became one of the five big shots of the Republic of Korea’s underground finance world.

‘Even just rolling private loans with the affiliates I have now as seed money······. In 10 years become a big shot of the underground finance world and more?’

So flying a few affiliates, having management rights snatched a bit, not being able to put forward shares or honor.

In my standard really nothing special.

That level not even counted as a joke in the back alleys.

My kidneys still both intact, the land bought in Gangnam wide, our house basement safe full of national treasure level artworks and gold bars making eok sounds.

“Then why······.”

Why I didn’t hand over U-gwang Automobile and Heavy Equipment to Taeseong and grasped?

“To prevent Taeseong Automobile and Heavy Equipment from collapsing.”
