37- Yuwon Telecom (5)
#37. Yuwon Telecom (5)
0.97% stake in Yuwon Telecom.
It seemed that he was concerned that the stake, which was divided into dozens of accounts, would be found out by Chairman Jin Seong-cheol.
In terms of market value, the amount amounts to approximately 100 billion won.
It was an excessive amount to receive as a blessing.
Jihyeok said.
“Why don’t you give it to your granddaughter or granddaughter-in-law?”
“These are all borrowed-name accounts, so it doesn’t matter who owns the stake.”
“Is it really okay to accept this…”
“I’m not enough, but you help me a lot. That’s it.”
Jihyeok nodded reluctantly, and Baek Yonggi slowly stood up and said,
“Can I ask you something?”
“Yes, please.”
“After hearing about you from Seogyeong, you know why I wanted to meet you.”
“Director Jin was also curious about that part the most. Why did you choose yourself as a partner for this project? Aren’t you curious about that part too?”
“As expected… I knew it. As you know, I am more of a half shaman. That guy is too small a bowl to lead a company or plan a big deal. At least, I didn’t have any strengths other than being a little special for my wife. What did you see in that guy?”
Jihyeok seemed to be thinking for a while, then slowly opened his mouth.
“In fact, the fact that General Manager Jin’s vessel is small is because the size of her ambition differs greatly from that of other chaebol heads, and by general standards, it is not a small vessel at all. When you run a company, you won’t be able to grow it big or achieve tremendous growth, but it’s possible to keep it. And he has a personality that genuinely cares about his people and does not have a sly side when it comes to taking care of his own interests. It’s a pretty decent award for a partner.”
“Hmm… was it something like that…”
“Thanks to that character, I have a debt to pay.”
Baek Yonggi asked with a slightly surprised face.
“You… Seogyeong to that guy?”
“I don’t think it’s a debt because I did it without knowing, but I’m a person with a clear calculation, so I’m trying to pay it off this opportunity.”
Baek Yong-gi shook his head and said.
“Looks like you were fooling around. Do you have anything else to say to Seo-gyeong?”
“no. Take him and talk to him.”
“Okay. Thank you.”
Baek Yong-gi bowed down until the end and thanked Ji-hyeok.
***
As Ji-hyeok and Baek Yong-gi’s conversation got longer, Jin Seo-gyeong was in and out of the waiting room and yard, unable to hide her nervousness.
After smoking three or four cigarettes in the yard, Baek Yong-gi finally opened the door and appeared.
Baek Yong-gi’s face seemed a little relaxed for some reason.
Baek Yong-gi frowned slightly at Jin Seo-gyeong, who hurriedly lit a cigarette.
“Quit smoking. A guy who wants to run a business can’t take care of my health, so what will he do?”
“Yes, I will turn it off.”
“Let the driver go, let’s go to my car.”
“yes? Yes, great-grandfather.”
Jin Seo-gyeong, who rode into Baek Yong-gi’s Maybach vehicle, was waiting for the words to come out of Baek Yong-gi’s mouth with some anticipation.
However, Baek Yong-gi’s words were a bit disappointing.
“No matter how you look at it, it seemed impossible to bring your father’s wealth with your peripheral hair. Instead of bringing the property, when I handed it over to you or your wife, I thought it would be a relief if your father didn’t take it away.”
“Great-grandfather, I am not that young. Trust me.”
“Shut up and listen to me.”
“…”
“Fortunately, I don’t know what kind of blessing you were born with, and now that I met a nobleman like this, I feel at ease.”
“If you’re a nobleman… are you talking about Kang Ji-hyeok?”
“okay. You must follow whatever the master says in the future. Even if there is a corner that is not clear, do not doubt and follow it. If you do that, it won’t be a dream for you to become the head of a conglomerate. Do you understand what I mean?”
Jin Seo-kyung couldn’t even guess why Baek Yong-gi was suddenly acting like this, but he couldn’t disobey Baek Yong-gi’s words with a rare serious expression.
“That… I will, great-grandfather.”
“Don’t take my word for it and do it from the bottom of my heart. And I will send the 300 billion you said next week. If you give it in cash, your father will know about it, and I will give it as an anonymous bond, so pass it on to the guru.”
Jin Seo-kyung was surprised that Baek Yong-gi had 300 billion won in bearer bonds, but he couldn’t help but worry about the interest.
“Go, thank you, great-grandfather. Then how about the interest…”
In the midst of this, Baek Yong-gi was not very trusting of his granddaughter-in-law, who was worried about Lee, but he believed Ji-hyuk’s words and did not respond.
“Isn’t Jin-hee doing anything else these days?”
“yes? Ah yes. I don’t really do anything other than go to social events.”
“That’s right. Then I’ll take Jin-hee and get her to work, so know that.”
In an instant, Jin Seo-gyeong’s face turned bright.
If you take your granddaughter and put her to work, doesn’t that mean you’re preparing to pass on your wealth?
If you add up your cash and real estate, it was an amount that would not be envied by any chaebol.
But for some reason, Jin Seo-gyeong’s complexion suddenly darkened.
And soon, Baek Yong-gi’s unexpected answer flowed from Jin Seo-gyeong’s mouth.
“I’m sorry, great-grandfather, but please let the family live like this.”
“Huh… did you think I would get your permission to take my granddaughter? Stop talking and tell me to go to work at my house next week.”
“sorry. That can’t be.”
“why? Are you afraid that your wife will hear the sound of a money ghost like me? You want to inherit the property, but you mean my work is dirty?”
“I am not ashamed of what my great-grandfather is doing, but it seems too harsh for a housewife to do. Also, isn’t it Jin-hee, not me, who inherits my great-grandfather’s property? I would be lying if I said I had never been greedy for the property my wife would inherit, but I have no intention of asking her to learn it for money.”
Baek Yong-gi felt quite good knowing that Jin Seo-gyeong cared for his granddaughter so much.
I also liked Jin Seo-gyeong’s honesty.
After hearing Jihyeok’s words, Jin Seogyeong’s strengths began to be seen.
‘He has a personality that genuinely cares about his people and does not have a sly side when it comes to taking care of his own interests.’
Baek Yong-gi said, barely holding back the corners of his mouth twitching.
“I can’t believe I will make my one and only granddaughter a moneylender? I’m not trying to make you a moneylender, so don’t worry. Send some people with experience in welfare work.”
“Are you talking about welfare work?”
“okay. Like you said, aren’t most of the tough guys around me? Since we’re trying to set up a welfare foundation in Jinhee’s name, select the smart ones and send them. Do you understand?”
Only then did Jin Seo-gyeong answer with a wide smile.
“Yes, great-grandfather. I will. thank you.”
***
The next day, Cheongdam Station.
Around the time Jihyeok finished his morning prayers, Seoyeon came to visit.
“Mr. Ji-hyeok, the prosecution dismissed the accusation against Executive Director Hwang Ki-seok due to insufficient evidence.”
“Chairman Jin seems to have quite long arms. It wouldn’t have been easy to cover up the case overflowing with evidence and witnesses…”
Seoyeon bit her lip and said.
“I guess I made a mistake. I didn’t know that the Southern District Prosecutor’s Office was from my father’s side.”
“Um… Seoyeon, did you say that Executive Director Hwang Ki-seok is the person of your eldest brother, President Jin Seo-joon?”
“yes that’s right.”
“Hwang Ki-seok is short-tempered, so if the pressure intensifies, he will eventually confess that there was an order from President Jin Seo-joon. However, if President Jin Seo-joon gets hurt because of Mr. Seo-yeon, he will not be able to take over ‘U1 Shopping’. Are you okay though?”
Seoyeon smiled and said.
“I gave up on that U1 shopping right away. Listening to what my dad is saying this time, I don’t think he’ll just give it to me to normalize esthetic and DF. Even if you give me something important, I don’t have the money to pay the gift tax.”
“It is, but…”
“And the project Jihyeok is working on this time, I want to wear it too. Didn’t the little brother say he added 3,000? I will add about 200 billion won.”
Jihyuk asked with a slightly surprised expression.
“Do you have enough funds?”
“I’m trying to sell the duty-free business right. Even if you can’t do it, you will receive 220 billion won. If we can’t bring U1 shopping anyway, there is no possibility of development, and the re-selection of the business operator is not far away, so we don’t know what will happen.”
“Still, it would be advantageous to have an existing operator.”
“Not really. In fact, there is no proper luxury lineup, and the store size is small, so I think it will be difficult to be re-selected.”
Jihyuk smiled and said.
“What if Seoyeon-ssi’s thoughts are so firm…. Instead, it’s not particularly urgent money, so sell it slowly for the full price.”
“Actually… I already have contact with someone. however······.”
“Is there anything on your mind?”
“It’s not like that, it’s a sister I know who wants to buy it, but I’m not sure yet. Ha… how can I explain this… This older sister is getting married soon, and she is the eldest son of Mirae Department Store Group.”
It was only then that Jihyuk nodded as if he understood what he was saying.
“You seem to be trying to make the coma quite thick.”
“yes that’s right. With that excuse, he said he would receive an inheritance in advance and do that.”
“What family is your sister from?”
“You know the CY group, right? Distribution and enter business…”
“I know. Aren’t our movies also distributed there?”
“Yes, when I started investing in the movie, Jiyoung unnie helped me a lot. I’m also close with CEO Kang Hyeon-joong of Lucifer.”
Jihyeok thought that Seoyeon, who kept spinning her words around, was quite cute.
After hearing about the relationship, it seems that CEO Kang Hyeon-joong, who was quiet, brought up the story of Ji-hyeok to Ji-young’s sister, who was about to get married, and asked to make a seat with me.
“Seoyeon, I don’t know if you know… My travel expenses have gone up a bit.”
“Ha, ha… Should I just tell them to come to the fortune teller?”
“Sorry, but we are fully booked until 3 months later.”
“yes? Already?”
From noble mtl dot com.
“I only take one person a day.”
“Well, wait a minute.”
Seoyeon hurriedly took the phone and went outside.
After a few minutes, Seoyeon returned from the phone and said.
“Mr. Jihyeok, I will give you any number of Bokchae, so please look at me. But… my fiancé wants to see it too, is that okay? I was wondering if it would be a natural place to eat…”
Jihyeok smiled and said.
“Okay. It’s not particularly difficult, so what are you asking so carefully?”
“Jihyeok isn’t a person who is in need of money, and he does a lot of things. So it is, what.”
“If this is the case, you can ask for it at any time. I like meeting people.”
Seoyeon shook her head and said.
“Somehow it seemed like that… Is there a special reason?”
“Um… Money is also one of the important reasons. There are other reasons, of course.”
“Yes? Even though bokchae is expensive, I don’t think Jihyeok is a fortune teller for money.”
Ji-hyeok didn’t even tell Seo-yeon that he was trying to gain fame in order to meet a nobleman.
It was because there was no way she would understand if I mentioned that I was going to meet a nobleman and go back to my normal days.
Jihyeok brought up the story of Hwang Ki-seok again to change the topic.
“Did you check where Hwang Ki-seok’s stolen funds went?”
“Ah… it was not easy to identify the account because it was broken up into several business operators.”
Jihyo nodded and said.
“It won’t be easy. Include that content and write a complaint. I will ask Baek Yong-gi as the prosecutor to take charge of the investigation.”
As he committed the most illegal things, it was clear that there would be a line on the prosecution side as well.
However, the question was whether Baek Yong-gi’s line could avoid Jin Seong-cheol’s eyes…
Baek Yong-gi’s voice over the receiver was full of confidence.
– Don’t worry, file a complaint with the Central District Prosecutor’s Office. The deputy prosecutor there will take care of it.
After receiving Baek Yong-gi’s confirmation, Ji-hyeok said to Seo-yeon.
“Even if the prosecution starts an investigation, my father will exercise his skills. To stop that, the media must also move…”
“You can ask your little brother for that. The media management is actually in charge of the amusement park construction. We also spend a lot on advertising.”
Jihyuk shook his head and said.
“So, compared to the advertising expenses spent by telecommunications companies, it would be a pittance. Let’s not do that and make an appointment with Jiyoung unnie. Wouldn’t it be more certain if it was the media?”
“Ah, I get it. I’ll make an appointment right away.”
“By the way, if you have even a part of the account where Hwang Ki-seok’s embezzled funds flowed, please send us the data. I will take a look.”
Seoyeon let out a short sigh and said.
“Ah… that’s it. I even found out that it flowed into the cryptocurrency exchange, but as you know, it is difficult to track cryptocurrency.”
Jihyeok asked with a rare surprised expression.
“Cryptocurrency?”
“Yes, I found out that the exchange was converted to bitcoin, but there was no way to find out after that. My eldest brother said that he bought a stake in the holding company, but it seemed like a lie.”
“hahahaha, it seems that Seoyeon was born with good fortune.”
“yes? Suddenly?”
“Let’s get the money back. No matter how many years it takes.”
