I Take Care of My Share

At that time Secretary Kim had come to me.

Because of the promise to process urgent matters first and return.

I conveyed the business.

“Want to establish an investment company. Please help.”

“Investment company?”

“Yes. An investment company that can slightly cover my identity, no traces remaining.”

In Korean society there exists the sense of trust age gives.

I now a mere seven-year-old child.

The sound many things obstructing to step forward to the front and move money and power.

But if putting an investment company in front? No problem!

“Will the Young Master directly operate?”

“Yes.”

Of course there will have to be a dummy president.

“That not an easy matter as words.”

“Even looking not particularly difficult?”

Have I operated an investment company one or two times.

In the past my specialty precisely this.

A problem because means and methods of course even the items handled go back and forth between illegal and expedient for a general investment company.

Now I became a Taeseong Group person so have to operate gentlemanly and cleanly unlike the past?

“How intending to operate the company?”

“For the time being will roll small scale.”

So until acquiring a company.

“If intending to experience company management in advance combining pocket money earning no need to establish an investment company just roll with small amount diversified investment using borrowed name stocks etc. enough.”

“Probably the scale quite large for a child’s pocket money earning. Can’t with borrowed name stocks, small amount diversified investment.”

Because my name has to be embedded to claim my rights.

I believe documents rather than words, among documents official documents the state certifies.

There is another reason.

“Intending to launder money.”

Secretary Kim seems interesting the word money laundering.

“Is there a matter the Young Master necessarily has to launder money?”

“Intending to swallow a quite large company.”

At the words large company acquisition the eyes expecting more.

“Want to become the major shareholder of my company, my shares, where my money substantially entered, not receiving checks from other Taeseong Group people.”

Even if Taeseong Group collapses, even if father loses in the management rights fight and pushed to the back room!

My company I, my rice bowl also I have to take care of the law.

I lived like that until now.

“What company on earth intending to acquire so?”

“Korea Oil Corporation.”

“Yes?”

Secretary Kim’s pupils shook largely as if earthquake occurred.

“Invest in bank establishment through the investment company, receive the bank’s investment and acquire Korea Oil Corporation. My goal that.”

Secretary Kim carefully said.

“How much do you think Korea Oil Corporation’s acquisition funds? Even selling several of Taeseong’s affiliates insufficient.”

“If buying at proper price right now would have to be so.”

But when Korea Oil Corporation came out as a sale on the market right after the 2nd oil shock.

“50% of Korea Oil Corporation’s shares owned by the US oil refining company Gulf. Those guys absolutely won’t try to hand over what they have at a bargain price.”

When the US Gulf company no more capacity to endure because of oil shocks bursting consecutively.

When raising both hands and trying to strip the weak country’s company.

I thinking of buying Korea Oil Corporation at a bargain price then.

No method to explain this what?

“Intending to receive bank investment.”

“With only that insufficient. Korea Oil Corporation a dinosaur company.”

Would I not know that.

‘This time Taeseong secured thick national construction projects like subway line 2 construction, Gangnam express bus terminal construction etc. Even just reselling the land near the station and land compensation and taking capital gains can touch quite a large sum.’

The expected bid amount for subway line 2 over 180 billion.

Adding the road and commercial building construction of Gangnam Seoul express bus terminal there?

Don’t know but would be able to earn a lot of money more than past U-gwang Construction.

“Will solve insufficient funds with foreign loans.”

The company that acquired Korea Oil Corporation in the past was Samhwang Group.

Samhwang Group solved the 100 million dollars value of the 50% shares Gulf put out with foreign loans.

A matter the Republic of Korea turned upside down to the extent receiving the evaluation that an ant swallowed a dinosaur.

The foreign loans Samhwang Group pulled precisely Saudi’s oil money.

‘Worth trying. Samhwang Group did, no reason I can’t.’

Heard at the year-end night.

When Samhwang Oil Refining people went to Saudi, the Saudi royal family that didn’t even receive their audience was treating father as a state guest.

‘Father has a debt hung on the Saudi royal family. Moreover when the president considering receiving oil supply at the private level, the alternative that came out first was if Taeseong establishes an oil refining company?’

Since this country’s absolute power holder seems to have internally selected Taeseong, wouldn’t the matter become easier?

Or not!

“If already giving up the dream from now because the path going difficult what use.”

“Hmm.”

“There are also words that if quantifying the dream and catching the deadline and setting concrete goals already half achieved.”

I took out grandfather’s memorandum and shook fluttering and grinned.

“Thinking of receiving grandfather’s help at the end.”

Then will have to reveal that I am the anonymous sponsor unavoidably.

Only then Secretary Kim grinned.

“Then will need a trustworthy person who becomes the Young Master’s hands and feet.”

“If a person trustworthy and capable better. Like Secretary Kim.”

I casually conveyed the recruitment proposal.

But Secretary Kim lowered the head.

“I a body decided to assist the chairman. Became regrettable.”

Floated just in case but as expected not working.

Didn’t expect to obtain Secretary Kim from the beginning.

‘Secretary Kim the closest aide serving grandfather by the side. The core figure coordinating opinions with Taeseong’s all affiliate president group.’

In a word the sound grandfather’s person.

‘But the reason I deliberately brought up such words to snatch Secretary Kim’s person.’

I deliberately nodded the head slowly very regretting.

“Then regrettably can’t attach even Team Leader Yu and Taeseong Group security guards?”

“Speaking of Team Leader Yu and security team 5?”

“Yes.”

They were Secretary Kim’s direct subordinates.

“If the Young Master wishes will attach.”

“Thank you.”

“But there is one thing to know before using those guys. The guys a bit different track from general security guards.”

“What how different?”

“Not elite security guards from military officers or athletes. Ability quite good but for various reasons all promotion paths blocked and came under me.”

So defective B-grade Avengers, something like this?

Rather good!

I like capable guys more than incompetent guys!

If guys whose promotion paths blocked for some reason scattered and scattered in the back alleys!

“Especially Team Leader Yu the most usable. If a matter related to money ordinary Taeseong elites won’t even be able to take out business cards in front of that guy.”

Good?

Anyway Yu Jong-tae swore to me.

-I a body who swore to bury bones to the Young Master!

-If the Young Master tells to roll good even if rolling until sweat on the soles!

“Team Leader Yu discarded every time because of temperament? Thanks to that rotted under me for quite a long time.”

Strange?

I never saw Yu Jong-tae throwing temperament even once until now.

“That guy good head and quick eyes so a guy who reached the peak in making people angry. Other Young Masters say even looking at Team Leader Yu’s face get angry.”

Suddenly recalled the matter sent Yu Jong-tae to Hyunmu Construction President Oh and ticked with the tongue saying counting 3 minutes.

“If the Young Master uses largely will become a better than anything opportunity even for that guy.”

Secretary Kim smiled gently.

“If recommending one more how about Secretary Lee Gyeong-seok helping father.”

“Secretary Lee Gyeong-seok?”

The secretary helping father was Lee Gyeong-seok?

I knew the name Lee Gyeong-seok.

‘Taeseong’s brain, President Lee Gyeong-seok!’

He the man who later becomes the closest aide of the Taeseong Group head, and leads Taeseong Electronics the core affiliate of Taeseong.

Knock knock knock.

As opened the door, Yu Jong-tae and Taeseong Group security guards ran in a rush.

Everyone couldn’t hide the rejoicing appearance.

“Heard Taeseong just confirmed the subway line 2 construction!”

“Not only Gangnam Seoul express bus terminal road expansion construction but even the terminal commercial buildings we taking charge!”

“Heard the chairman gathering at Hanujeong right away! Beef company dinner!”

Yu Jong-tae said smiling contentedly.

“Said mother of course even the Young Master eat beef together. Shall go?”

“Yes. Good.”

When I held Yu Jong-tae’s hand and just about to take steps.

“Young Master, may I ask just one thing?”

Eh? Secretary Kim’s expression not ordinary.

Shall say too resolute unlike Secretary Kim?

So I sent Yu Jong-tae and the security guards out to the corridor then closed the door.

“I already received a failing grade in the Young Master’s test. Because chose curiosity instead of credit and unfolded the note.”

A voice with subtle complexity embedded.

“Doesn’t the Young Master worry whether I might slightly reveal the sponsor’s identity to the chairman and father?”

Such a thing, if revealed that Taeseong’s sponsor is me what?

Did I commit a crime? Just becomes a bit troublesome.

“Then will ask back. I revealed the secret in front of Secretary Kim. Think because stupid?”

I revealed part of my ability in front of Secretary Kim and the master.

But not in front of grandfather and father.

Secretary Kim became a bit dazed expression.

I shrugged shoulders.

“Thought that a talk ended when handed the U-gwang Construction bribe ledger. Wasn’t?”

I said while handing the U-gwang Construction bribe ledger then.

-I am doing a losing business now. Not even received money yet, putting out the ledger first. Is there another more certain credit transaction than this? That my favor.

-That ledger, offer to Chairman Cha. Will return more than torn from me. This service.

I winked one eye.

“How did Secretary Kim repay my sincerity handed first?”

Secretary Kim didn’t disclose my secret in detail to grandfather.

Also didn’t dig how I obtained the U-gwang Construction bribe ledger.

Instead Secretary Kim fulfilled loyalty by first bringing Uncle Cheol-gu in front of me instead of grandfather.

Like that we opened a credit transaction.

“Hahaha!”

Secretary Kim burst into large laughter after a long time.

“This I got hit one shot by the Young Master. The trust the Young Master sent, will receive gratefully well without declining.”

Secretary Kim bent the waist even more politely and greeted.

“Young Master, then I will return to the chairman now.”

“Not going to eat beef together?”

“Today seems have to pour congratulatory liquor beside the chairman.”

Secretary Kim smiled gently.

“Grow quickly. Will be waiting counting the days only the day to tilt congratulatory liquor together with a joyful heart.”

* * *

Arrived at Hanujeong.

Caught two rooms for company dinner and opened the sliding door and attached the tables.

Taeseong Group security guards’ laughter didn’t stop.

“For Taeseong Group!”

“For!”

Fresh Korean beef went up on the heated grill.

With sizzling smoke a savory smell wafted.

Everyone busily moved chopsticks and ate rice.

Because of the suddenly caught drinking seat with the president everyone couldn’t even eat dinner.

“Young Master, eat a lot. Today the flower sirloin very soft.”

“Seems flank meat tastier than flower sirloin. Chew well and eat.”

“What sound! This house famous for striploin! Want cider?”

Taeseong Group security guards were busy putting small cut beef on my front plate.

“Young Master Seong-jun, suffered a lot today. May I pour one cup of alcohol?”

“No. Drank too much. I will stop here.”

Father waved hands and stood up from the seat.

The face red seemed drank alcohol quite.

Whether trying to go to the bathroom, or trying to get some outside air.

I was a bit worried so quietly followed behind father.

Slide. Tak.

When father closed the sliding door and came out to the store corridor,

“Eh? Surely you Seong-jun?”

There was a voice calling father.

A stylish gentleman in early 40s tipsy with alcohol.

Unlike father who gives a heavy and serious atmosphere, a man making a pleasant and frivolous smile.

“Older brother Dae-jun.”

Older brother Dae-jun? Surely Cha Dae-jun?

Never faced in person, but a name often seen in the Taeseong Group report.

‘This person my big uncle? Taeseong Group’s unfortunate crown prince?’
