234 – [4] Indomitable Woman
#234
“What do you mean?”
It bounced once.
There was a possibility that he said it out of anger.
“This company here. “Aren’t you thinking of getting it?”
But he repeatedly said that it was not true.
What on earth was he thinking? It felt like my mind was becoming more complicated.
“I don’t understand.”
So I bounced once more.
He constantly gave me a look and told me to think about it over and over again.
I wondered if it was necessary to go this far, but I had no choice in order not to regret it.
If you give something for no reason and then take it away, it will only make you feel worse.
Isn’t there a saying, “Three goals are worth the effort?”
Rejecting twice could be considered a form of courtesy towards the other person.
“That’s literally it. “I will hand over Aeritz Company to you.”
“… ….”
Of course, accepting it the third time could also be considered a form of courtesy.
I recommend it over and over again, and to be honest, it doesn’t seem bad to me personally, so there’s no reason to refuse it.
I had to seize the opportunity when it came.
However, I had to confirm and seize whether this was truly a perfect opportunity or an ambiguous opportunity.
Because the rope you grabbed as an opportunity may be rotten.
He slightly lowered his upper body and held it out to Cheonma-ri.
“Why?”
“Because, of course, I was thinking of my friend—”
“Don’t be damned. That’s not why.”
“No, it’s true. “Since you said that you didn’t get paid on the wrong day, I’m going to give it to you right now.”
As far as friendship is concerned, it was persuasive.
However, considering the value of the company, it was an action that was completely incomprehensible.
I felt like I needed to reexamine the meaning of ‘handing over’ this company.
This may not mean simply handing over everything.
“Yeah, that aside. This company is an unlisted company. But when you say you’re going to hand it over to me, do you mean you’re going to hand over your shares? Or are you saying you are going to hand over the position of representative?”
“Both.”
“How much?”
I didn’t ask why.
If we talk about that here anyway, it seems like we’ll end up running parallel paths.
I stared into a thousand eyes.
The blood-covered pupil did not flutter even an inch.
“All of my shares.”
This guy is serious.
I don’t know why, but I was sure I had made up my mind.
“Everything? “You’re handing over all your shares to me?”
“Oh, just in case, I’ll have to keep about 10% with me.”
Anyway, it is an unlisted company and the two of us are holding the entire company.
Even if she said she would take away about 100%, it was safe to say that there was nothing she could do if I had 90%.
I could say it was good in its own way.
Because it means that a company becomes purely mine.
Of course, there were problems that would arise along the way.
“Capital gains tax and stamp duty will be quite high.”
I came to Ireland to avoid taxes, but that doesn’t mean Ireland doesn’t pay taxes.
Even though non-existent ghost identities roamed the European stock market like communist ghosts, the one thing even they could not avoid was taxes.
The worst anarchist manufacturing machine that mankind has ever created.
A person who makes it more attractive to grow a country without using the government.
And I was sorely lacking in ability to pay this tax.
This was the result of putting more of what I had earned into investment funds or spending it separately only on things that were needed.
“Why are you trying to do that honestly? All you have to do is just hit it here and there and twist it around.”
“…… Ah.”
“Of course, even if you do that, you will still have to pay some amount of taxes.”
Still, it is at a manageable level.
It was roughly that kind of nuance.
“Wait a minute, wouldn’t that mean we’d be tracked down by the National Tax Service? “I think the owners will be caught trading shares between themselves.”
“It’s not even a proper name anyway, right? You don’t have to worry about that. “The only thing we have to be careful about is our investor status.”
The owner is not a normal person, the operator is clearly a stranger, but it is an underworld company with only two investors who can keep secrets.
Although she was a little anxious, Cheonma-ri waved her hands as if she would never be found out.
“Well, if you’re worried, you can go bankrupt and re-establish it~”

“That’s a bit…” ….”
Then, a large amount of tax would have been deducted from the establishment and transfer of money.
In that case, it would have been better to have been caught, treated as a moral hazard, and sent to Uijeongbu Prison.
I shook my head.
Cheonmae smiled like a cat and sipped water.
“Anyway, I plan to change the owner to you and adjust the ratio of my investment.”
“…… Huh?”
“A lot of my investment will probably be adjusted to yours.”
If it was good, it was good news.
Because it means that my actual money will increase.
But… ….
“Are you saying they will take out a significant portion of the investment?”
“Oh, you’re quick-witted.”
There was no way they could adjust everything.
Is it possible that a huge amount of my money is tied up?
“How much do you plan to take out?”
“What, about 50% to 80%? “You can take out more if necessary.”
“You’re just saying they’re taking everything out.”
“Hmm.”
It means taking everything you need and leaving only a little.
But since it was a lot, it was still a surplus business.
“Once you take out the money, where do you plan to use it?”
“Well, it can be used in many places. Or just use it in one place.”
“Don’t be vague. Be honest. “What do you plan on using it for?”
As he asked repeatedly, Cheonma-ri motioned to the employee who was massaging his shoulder as if to tell him to stop.
Soon, everyone blurted out that it was a personal conversation and that it was okay for them to leave.
Everyone, from general employees to the president, left the room.
The space suddenly became empty and only the two of us were left.
“There is a place that needs to be taken over.”
Acquisition, not investment.
There was no will to do panty wrestling with management rights.
I could only feel the desire for what was my own.
I don’t know what kind of delusion he was having, but it seemed clear that his intentions weren’t very good.
“What I’m saying right now shouldn’t be said anywhere.”
Sure enough.
It gave off an ominous vibe from the beginning.
It seemed like it would be better not to listen, but given Cheon-ri’s personality, there was a high possibility that she would say something by mistake even if she didn’t listen.
If you are going to receive shock therapy, it would be several times better to receive it now.
“I understand.”
“Whoa…” … Then…… Because it might be a bit shocking. “Don’t be too surprised.”
I pricked up my ears.
Cheonma-ri paused as if trying to filter out vulgar words and extract serious ones.
A short time passed.
Finally, the mouth opened.
“The academy will fail.”
“… ….”
Silence rose again.
I looked at her with her mouth open.
On the other hand, Cheonma-ri slightly turned her gaze away from me.
It seems as if the future she has experienced and anticipated is too great for one person to handle.
It was a bit strange.
It seemed like he still had something to say.
In fact, Cheonma-ri kept shutting her mouth, but she spoke.
I continued the conversation reluctantly.
“I see. So what is the shocking content?”
“The academy is going to fail.”
“?”
No, so the shocking news is that the Academy will fail?
Really? Is this all? Are you saying they’re taking out their investment because of this?
“What do you think? “Shocking, isn’t it?”
“Uh… ….”
No, not one.
Because it was such an obvious fact in the first place.
I could tell without looking at the academy’s financial or internal status.
The same thing applies to words commonly used in the first world.
“Huh? “Isn’t the reaction a bit cool?”
“No, it has to be unpleasant.”
“It’s natural to be uncomfortable?”
“Does anyone expect the academy’s condition to get any better now?”
“There are a lot. That’s pretty good too.”
That was something only idiots thought.
Even if you only look at the news or only hear about the environment and space, such a conclusion could not be reached.
“You can get the answer just by looking at the state of the Earth right now. “We’re screwed with warming, we’re screwed with sea levels, we’re screwed with time changes.”
An exciting countdown to destruction.
Many of the endangered species that had barely survived had died, and now humanity had cut off the queue.
“…… “Why is that?”
“Think about it. “The Earth has become a mess, and for the first world, running into space has become the only way to survive.”
“That’s right.”
To put it simply, it was like water leaking in a house.
For now, we can survive by repairing it with materials like Academy, but as time goes by, it becomes more difficult, so we had to move.
“And the current purpose of the academy is as a training center for human resources to buy time or to repel invasions from outside.”
“If you think about it, yes…… Ji?”
In addition, the term “Buying time” Here had several meanings.
It was not just about dealing with the knights and the World Tree, but also completely defeating them.
It was natural that if we just took down the World Tree, the pressure on space development would be greatly reduced.
Of course, since the Earth could not be destroyed in real time, the time limit was not eliminated at all.
“But the Academy was suddenly hit by a terrorist attack? “Half of it was actually taken away by terrorists?”
“… ….”
“We need to take out the budget immediately to restore it and get it back to normal. But the money spent on space development is also increasing.”
“That’s astronomically…… “It’s increasing.”
“We are even waging a virtual war with special operations blah blah blah. The large-scale construction to raise the coastline is a bonus. In a time like this, is there any money to pour into the academy?”
Money was the problem.
If only I had enough money, I wouldn’t have had to worry about it.
But resources were limited, and now a choice had to be made.
Either make a decision and normalize the academy again, or accelerate space development further.
Holding on with materials that are becoming scarce and looking into moving right away.
It could be said that it was like choosing one of two things.
“Still, you might think it would be better to buy time. The problem is that even if we invest that much money, the Academy is in a place where it will fail.”
The choice for this district was to look into moving.
In fact, no matter how you look at it, it was better to make a direct investment for the future since it would be thrown away after use.
I think I am being too complacent.
It was okay for now because there were existing facilities anyway.
Honestly, even if that wasn’t the case, the level of awakened people in the first world was better.
If you have to, you can survive even if you have to replace people.
In fact, everything goes wrong because of the heroes who do not meet the standards.
“What do you think? Do you understand why my reaction is not cool?”
“…… You’re better at predicting the future than I thought. “It’s like someone who has seen the future.”
“Well, it’s basic.”
Knowing the game’s story and setting would have influenced this decision.
No matter how much you expect, it is impossible to say something like this if you are not sure.
“Hmm, to add a little more, the Academy will be suffering from a budget shortage in the near future. I would have to go bankrupt, but I can’t do that because the repercussions would be too great. In the end, privatization will be chosen as the next best option. Is not it?”
“That’s right. “It’s the same as what I was told.”
Cheonma-ri was probably trying to take over the academy that was being privatized.
So, what are you planning to do with the acquired academy?
That’s me too…… Mol?Ru.
Considering the personality of a thousand birds, there were a few things I expected, but I wasn’t sure.
“Perhaps you are trying to protect the company by taking over it, or deal a big blow to the World Tree.”
“The former is correct. “It’s my first time trying the latter, so I go back and forth.”
Then, it would be used as a manpower training center to protect Nartica and as a hunter unit made up of cadets.
There may be a hidden intention, but for now, it can be said to be nothing special and an insignificant reality.
Purchasing an academy with money that could be tens of trillions of won, perhaps even hundreds of trillions of won.
Compared to the acquisition of a game company that copies money or the acquisition of a high-tech industrial company, it didn’t look good.
In many ways, I have doubts about whether I will be able to make money.
Personally, if I could not somehow receive subsidies from the government, I would have suffered from chronic deficits.
I was wondering how to overcome this.
It’s not that Cheonma-ri isn’t good at making money, so I didn’t say anything.
“Well, you’re probably doing it because you have your own thoughts. “I won’t say anything.”
That wasn’t my field anyway.
If I lectured for no reason, things could get more complicated, so it was better to keep quiet.
There is only one thing I want to say now.
“Instead, don’t give a damn about failing and committing suicide later.”
The words spoken while caressing a thousand cheeks.
If I committed suicide just because I missed this episode, this would be the only problem.
“Okay?”
As I asked repeatedly, the serious expression on my face began to unfold.
Then she stood up as if her shoulders had become lighter.
I felt like I had to stand up, so I stood up too.
Cheonma-ri came to her side and she hugged me tightly.
He hugged her upper body with both arms and hung around her legs.
It was so heavy that she almost fell, but she managed to keep her balance.
When I looked at Cheonma-ri again, I saw her smiling.
The expression beneath the platinum-colored hair was so alluring that it could not be matched.
“Who am I? Eagles in my chest. “I am an indomitable woman who lives with three letters in mind.”
A crazy woman in many ways.
That’s why she is a woman who never breaks down.
“I have no intention of dying until I see the Eagles win the championship. “Of course she has no intention of committing suicide.”
It was a good resolution.
Apart from the fact that the material is bad.

“Shouldn’t we see us win together?”
“I see.”
How good would it be if we continued to live with this kind of mindset?
I stroked her clingy hair with a wish.
However, this has always been an ideal.
We had to prepare for reality.
“But if you’re going to commit suicide, please grab the World Tree and commit suicide.”
“Hey.”
