Chapter 70

The Young Master Had All Plans

Among the two who had blank expressions Secretary Kim quickly managed the expression.

Secretary Kim smiled contentedly.

“Multiplied money again in the meantime?”

The short admiration had many things implied.

I only then realized why Secretary Kim surprised.

‘Because Secretary Kim already background investigated my pocket situation.’

When I went around saying buying a house we had only barely 10 million won.

Such me in the meantime pocket thickened and investing as much as 1.5 billion in the giant bank so no choice but to surprise.

“Ha······!”

But Taeseong Chemicals President Shim couldn’t manage the expression.

He muttered with a half spirit gone voice.

“The words jointly with the bank buying as much as 103,000 pyeong of land near the subway station?”

“Money there, information there. Reason can’t buy?”

I shrugged shoulders.

“Clearly knowing land price will skyrocket, not buying the fool.”

“Aiming at dozens of times capital gains within a few years and investment company······ ha, acquiring Yugong with that······, hehehe.”

Taeseong Chemicals President Shim seemed mouth blocked from being dumbfounded.

He looked back at Secretary Kim.

“Secretary Kim, how old the Young Master this year?”

“Now eight years old.”

The more so Taeseong Chemicals President Shim made a deflated laugh sound.

“Eight years old, ha······, the Young Master mere eight years old now rolling a 1.5 billion won investment company and land speculation and money laundering······ who?”

Taeseong Chemicals President Shim’s expression sank.

“Asked who the Young Master’s background. Young Master Seong-jun? Or madam? Maybe the chairman.”

Secretary Kim’s expression became strange.

Looking back at me, the difficulty of ‘where how have to explain this.’ glimpsed.

I smiled faintly.

“Now seems the problem of where deciding President Shim’s whereabouts more important than who my background.”

“Hmm.”

Taeseong Chemicals President Shim stroked the chin then opened the mouth.

“Young Master, the plan of buying subway station land and earning will certainly succeed largely. Even the perfect investment company money laundering will earn large money. But insufficient.”

Taeseong Chemicals President Shim shook the head.

“To acquire Yugong will need 400 million dollars.”

Yes, if before oil shock occurs so.

“First the US Gulf company’s shares as much as 50%. Just acquiring that at market price will take about 200 million dollars.”

But if oil shock occurs Gulf company disposes shares at a bargain price.

Would believe if Samhwang Oil Refining’s Yugong acquisition funds 100 million dollars?

But then everyone sucked fingers because no dollars.

“Would the government easily transfer Yugong to a private company? Oil forming the country’s foundation literally no different from a cash cow.”

So. But transfers.

Because the pressure of the UK and US neoliberal policies because of oil shock so great.

The meaning burdensome for the country to take on the enormous debt increasing like a snowball because of oil.

So transferred to the private saying even if collapsing collapse at the company level.

“Even assuming just giving the government’s share a business that needs at least 200 million dollars. How thinking of solving the insufficient money?”

“Thinking of bringing loans from Saudi.”

“From Saudi? Loans?”

Taeseong Chemicals President Shim closed the mouth becoming an expression of getting hit one shot.

The appearance pondering carefully positive.

Taeseong Chemicals President Shim raised the head with eyes shining.

“Possible?”

“Forgot. Our dad constructing a city near Saudi Jubail commercial port. Construction bid amount as much as 100 million dollars.”

“Ah, Jubail industrial port city construction!”

I nodded.

“Where only Saudi the construction projects dad secured in the Middle East?”

“Heard. The construction Young Master Seong-jun secured going around several countries in the Middle East enormous level.”

“The Middle East now oil money overflowing but infrastructure poor.”

“Then can secure more construction orders?”

Taeseong Chemicals President Shim understood immediately if said.

“Dad already laid the foundation of credit while repeatedly completing construction in the Middle East.”

“So. Heard the Middle East such an exclusive society foreigners hard to enter easily. Samhwang or U-gwang of course even Hyunmu or Geumjo repeatedly failed?”

“What’s important in the Middle East performance and credit.”

“The sound if Taeseong Construction already proven with performance and credit very advantageous pulling oil money from Saudi or other Middle East countries.”

Exactly that!

“This time as taking charge of Taeseong Construction father took charge of subway line 2 construction and Gangnam Seoul express bus terminal construction. Then what about the construction secured in the Middle East?”

“Just then Taeseong Chemicals executives entered Taeseong Construction!”

Taeseong Chemicals President Shim grinned.

“Those guys, more capable and sincere than thought and guys with quite thick bones rolling long in construction.”

Would be so.

Taeseong Chemicals executives also grandfather’s long loyal servants.

Grandfather a person who raised the company with cement and construction and grew to chaebol.

So everyone people who rolled based on cement and construction in difficult times.

“Heard now the Middle East mainly entrusts construction to the US? But compared to Korea so expensive, late and many complaints not matching completion date. So looking for other clients heard.”

The Middle East construction boom that blew in Korea in the 80s.

Korea secured many construction businesses putting forward fast construction speed and cheap construction cost, yet decent construction quality.

At one time about 85% of foreign currency income earned in Korea Middle East money level.

“After monopolizing oil the Middle East striving in city construction. But still not only water and sewage but even highways not properly pierced. Construction work overflowing.”

“Correct. Even properly taking charge of one road construction can earn enough 20 million, no, 30 million dollars.”

Taeseong Chemicals President Shim’s head turned rapidly.

“One construction taken charge in Saudi 100 million, and if recklessly securing other constructions taking advantage of the Middle East construction boom······. This may be sufficiently possible.”

Taeseong Chemicals president clenched the fist tightly.

“If Young Master Seong-jun laid the foundation in the Middle East to that level completion those guys will take responsibility.”

A smile settled on Taeseong Chemicals President Shim’s face.

“How those guys rose to executive seats. Guys with expertise even in sales. Probably will clearly show what Korean-style sales in the Middle East too.”

Korean-style sales.

Would try securing construction in the Middle East circulating Bacchus?

“Believe everyone will excellently do not only subway construction helping father but even Middle East construction.”

“Of course. Will be so. Have to.”

“How? This picture now, liking?”

“Of course. Liking very much.”

Taeseong Chemicals President Shim laughed largely.

“Better than anything. Anyway was worried whether power struggle with existing Taeseong Construction people. If returning establishing large merit overseas······.”

“Becomes promotion.”

Demotion and promotion different.

“Performance soon ability, if established merit have to receive treatment. Not defeated soldiers who begged for life at Taeseong Construction because Taeseong Chemicals transferred, but returning in golden clothes as first-class meritorious subjects who led foreign currency earning in the Middle East.”

“Excellent. A perfect picture no one disappointed.”

Taeseong Chemicals President Shim nodded continuously as if very satisfied.

“Actually briefly disappointed thinking whether Young Master Seong-jun abandoned everything and ruined the future because of a woman.”

Taeseong Chemicals President Shim a figure selected as father’s person.

Grew Taeseong Chemicals to become father’s strength, and a loyal subject who managed father’s slush funds and stocks.

But as father refused the marriage talks with U-gwang, the painstakingly grown Taeseong Chemicals ended up transferring wholly.

Even if not saying the inside would have ached.

Taeseong Chemicals President Shim’s smile looked a bit bitter.

“But actually was thinking of us. So designed Taeseong Chemicals executives to establish large merit in the Middle East······ only admiring. Indeed seems I chose the person well.”

Before knowing Taeseong Chemicals President Shim laughed refreshingly.

“Thanks to that now seems can retire without lingering.”

No, this person real?

Saying will retire because can’t go to father?

No good words.

“How about me?”

“······Yes?”

I tapped the investment agreement concluded with the master.

“Forgot the proposal given to President Shim? Investment company.”

Taeseong Chemicals President Shim opened eyes large.

-This not betraying dad, not switching words to another big uncle, not abandoning grandfather or Taeseong.

-Certainly opportunity comes. Only the person preparing in advance can catch that opportunity. So I trying to establish an investment company and prepare for then.

Taeseong Chemicals President Shim hit own forehead tak.

“Big picture! Taeseong’s future! Preparation for oil refining company acquisition! The grand plan with Young Master Seong-jun’s future at stake!”

“Of course. Can entrust such an important matter to anyone? Will help?”

Taeseong Chemicals President Shim’s pupils shook roughly as if earthquake occurred.

I held out a hand.

“Hold my hand. Then later will give President Shim the choice.”

“Choice?”

“If successfully finishing Yugong acquisition among investment company, oil refining company, Taeseong Chemicals, the three to the desired place, to the person wanting to follow.”

“······Wait, Young Master. Investment company and oil refining company so and why Taeseong Chemicals mixed there?”

President Shim lowered the head.

“Taeseong Chemicals talk ended handing over to U-gwang. A regrettable matter. If guessed Young Master Seong-jun’s meaning starting from construction······ wouldn’t have snatched Taeseong Chemicals so vainly. Huu······!”

Taeseong Chemicals President Shim tightly closed eyes.

“If Young Master Seong-jun put construction and oil refining, even chemicals in hand could have aimed even at the next head seat······. Because I acted stupidly······.”

“Not abandoning Taeseong Chemicals?”

“······Yes?”

Taeseong Chemicals President Shim opened eyes wide.

But soon smiled faintly.

“Understand couldn’t help. Couldn’t protect the precious family without abandoning Taeseong Chemicals. My words just······.”

“Thinking of snatching Taeseong Chemicals back from U-gwang.”

“······Yes?”

That our mother’s share.

So not scratched for a long time saying Taeseong Chemicals snatched.

Because thinking of attaching Taeseong Chemicals as mother’s dowry.

But Taeseong Chemicals President Shim and Secretary Kim hurriedly shook heads with blank expressions.

“Young Master, that an impossible matter. U-gwang Group’s Chairman Kim not such an easy person.”

“The chairman also handed over Taeseong Chemicals because no other method.”

Everyone seems nailing saying no.

No method to explain this what?

“Want to bet?”

No, why everyone surprised like this?

This a much simpler matter than acquiring Yugong.

“The loser grants the winner one wish. How?”

* * *

After sending Jeong-hyeok inside first.

Shim Won-cheol hit the head on the fence wall.

Thud!

Secretary Kim surprised and held Shim Won-cheol.

“President Shim, what doing now?”

“Secretary Kim, I now feel exactly possessed by a ghost. No matter how looking not in right mind.”

Shim Won-cheol was a half spirit gone expression.

“Came to senses and finished signature seal on the employment contract?”

Only then Secretary Kim left Shim Won-cheol.

“What on earth that coin wallet doing item? Secretary Kim also saw? Not only the chairman’s memorandum and investment agreement but even the pre-written employment contract came out?”

Shim Won-cheol did dry face washing.

“Young Master Jeong-hyeok said today a recruitment scramble will break out leaving me. By any chance received separate notice regarding this from the chairman?”

“None.”

“Will Young Master Gi-jun really hand such a proposal to me?”

“Well.”

Secretary Kim smiled gently.

“Now what important that. President Shim already made the decision?”

“That so but. Honestly speaking can’t help but half believe half doubt an eight-year-old child’s words······.”

Then there was a person entering the Pyeongchang-dong mansion with a group of people.

A man in his 30s with narrow eyes hanging a drawn-like smile on the mouth corner.

“President Shim, heard Taeseong Chemicals transferring to U-gwang?”

“Young Master Gi-jun.”

Cha Gi-jun the chairman’s second son, Taeseong Distribution’s president arrived.

“How. Just then good to me······.”

“Will refuse.”

A too firm answer.

Instantly the smile that was always hanging on Cha Gi-jun’s mouth corner hardened.

But Cha Gi-jun smiled even more softly and asked.

“Knowing what proposal I will hand to President Shim cutting so with one knife?”

“Not Taeseong Trading overseas branch? Covering the US, UK, Germany.”

“······!”

Cha Gi-jun opened eyes wide.

But what is this?

At Cha Gi-jun’s reaction Shim Won-cheol also opening eyes round.
