62. Duon Ninety Three
Before signing the contract for the sale of the Siheung warehouse, I had a promise from Young-mi’s father, which was a 10% stake in Balhae Sports.
In other words, I used the warehouse for free at Balhae Sports, and I exercised 10% of the company’s stake in exchange for not receiving a fee for using the warehouse.
As the domestic market froze, it was difficult to find a warehouse, and the previous president had precedents, so President Moo-Sik Choi did not object to my proposal.
As a result, the stake in Balhae Sports was reorganized, with 10% owned by me, 41% by Yeong-mi’s father, and the remaining 49% by CEO Moo-sik Choi.
In other words, it means that I have the right to decide who runs the company, Young-mi’s father or Choi Moo-sik, president.
This was the reason why President Choi Moo-sik came to our house with a gift package.
I was preparing my heart to meet with President Choi Moo-sik on this issue, but I didn’t expect that meeting with him would come so soon.
We came into the house, and my mother brought drinks.
CEO Choi said to his mother.
“I’m sorry for coming so suddenly without contact.”
“it’s okay. But did you come all the way here for work?”
“yes. Balhae Sports is still a small company, and when it comes to the board of directors, there is only me and Kim Sang-in, managing director, so I came to say hello before the board meeting.”
I smiled slightly at my mother.
It was an expression that I wanted to talk to CEO Choi directly.
politics.
Politics has been the most difficult thing for me in my past life.
In a situation where the interests were entangled, the calculation between what to take and what to give up was not clear, and even if the calculation came out, it was not easy to act according to the calculation.
I wanted to learn politics properly once in my life.
Of course, as a high school student now, I don’t think it’s too early, but since the situation has turned like this, I decided to try it once.
My mother read my expression and said to CEO Choi.
“Then, instead of saying hello to me, I think you should say hello to Jeong-ho, right?”
“yes? Then, maybe… The actual owner… ?”
“You keep getting misunderstood, but it is true that the warehouse and the site were purchased by Jeong-ho himself. I didn’t add a penny.”
“ah… ! okay.”
CEO Choi looked at me and said.
“Sorry. But, this… Hmm–, how should I name it?”
“Just call me by name. Please be quiet in private.”
“ah… yes yes It’s nice to meet you, Jeongho-kun.”
“nice to meet you.”
A moment of silence passed.
Judging by President Choi’s expression, it seems that the situation of having to ask the young me was uncomfortable.
I am also a little burdened and nervous.
I cautiously opened my mouth towards CEO Choi.
“You know that our family is very close to Kim Sang-in’s family.”
President Choi’s expression hardened at my words, and I continued.
“The reason I am telling you this is to avoid any misunderstandings when discussing company management in the future.”
“… !”
“As you may already know, to purchase the Siheung warehouse, I invested all of my fortune. It is also true that I lost a lot more than I thought because I was in a hurry to raise money.”
“… .”
“So I plan to put my interests first, that is, the interests of Balhae Sports.”
President Choi nodded slightly, and I continued speaking.
“This means that when I make any decisions related to work at the company, I will exclude personal feelings with Kim Sang-in’s family. And I made this point clear to Managing Director Kim Sang-in.”
Choi’s expression brightened at my words.
I stick out my tongue slightly, wet my dry lips, and continue speaking.
“So for the same reason… I want you to take back the present you brought today.”
In an instant, President Choi’s expression hardened, and I looked into his eyes and opened my mouth again.
“I’m still very young, so I want you to see me like my nephew in private. However, when meeting for work, I ask that you treat me as a business partner.”
After a moment of silence, CEO Choi, who had a hardened expression on his face, said with a big smile.
“Ahahaha! I heard that it wasn’t an ordinary bet through Executive Director Kim Sang-in, but I ate this one properly. ha ha ha!”
CEO Choi held out his thick hand to me and said.
“Director Jeong-ho Chae, please take good care of me in the future.”
Director Chae Jeong-ho?
The name is too ambiguous.
Somehow… I feel like my hands and feet are tingling.
I said holding his hand.
“I would also like to thank you. President Choi Moo-sik.”
A short conversation with CEO Choi continued, and it was decided to hold a board meeting on January 8 next year, when Young-Mi’s father is on a business trip to Uruguay.
At that time, I decided to share a detailed story about the management rights of Balhae Sports.
At the end of the conversation, I handed the key pack to CEO Choi and said,
“The key to the Siheung warehouse.”
He was given a bundle of keys, and I continued.
“I heard a lot of complaints from factory workers because of the smell of rubber. The processed rubber that has been moved to the factory, I hope you can move it back to the warehouse as soon as possible.”
two days later.
I found Youngmi’s house.
Youngmi said while studying together in the living room.
“ah… ! right!”
“… ?”
Youngmi got up from her seat and said.
“Come here.”
I got up and followed Yeong-mi, and arrived at Yeong-mi’s room.
Yeong-mi opened the door and pointed in front of her desk. A picture of a pine tree was framed in a white frame and hung on the wall.
“Every time I see a picture of a tree, I feel at ease, so I deliberately hung it in the middle of the room.”
Youngmi smiled at me and continued speaking.
“I heard from Dad. You said you bought your father’s warehouse.”
“… !”
Youngmi smiled at my surprised expression and said.
“Then why did you tell me to keep it a secret?”
It is true that I was worried that Youngmi might feel burdened.
I said scratching the back of my head.
“I didn’t mean to ask you to keep it a secret, I meant that it was a business, so I didn’t have to tell anyone other than the company… .”
Youngmi said with a smirk.
“By the way, my dad can’t stand lying.”
“What do you mean?”
“My dad sees everything he thinks on his face. You can’t ask my dad to keep a secret in the future. Understand?”
I smiled and nodded, and Yeong-mi suddenly looked apologetic and said.
“By the way, Jung-ho, you said you lost a lot to buy that warehouse?”
The moment she was about to say no, Youngmi opened her eyes thinly and said.
“You must not lie to me.”
The expected annual fee for CJH’s algorithm is $60,000, but the total sale price of the algorithm is $140,000, so it’s true that they didn’t receive the right price.
I looked at Youngmi and said.
“It’s okay because I got something far more important than money.”
There was a moment of silence at my words, and at the end of the silence, Yeongmi fell into my arms.
The smell of Youngmi’s shampoo seemed to make her mind wander, but I pretended to be calm and gently stroked Youngmi’s back.
That was then.
“Young-mi!”
It was Youngmi’s mother.
We moved back and forth from each other, and Youngmi raised her voice.
“Mom, why?”
“I’m going to order lunch, but what do you want to eat?”
After studying, I left Youngmi’s house, and Youngmi followed.
“It’s very cold outside, so don’t go out.”
At my words, Youngmi shook her head.
“I was at home all day, and it was frustrating.”
So while I was walking out and walking towards my house, Youngmi said.
“But you are really great. Yoon Seong Soft work, and this time invest in my father’s company, and then you really become a businessman, don’t you?”
“haha! is it?”
“But is it fun to do business?”
“… !”
Young-mi asked if it was fun to run a business.
I’ve never thought about it until now.
Do I like doing business?
One thing is certain: I didn’t do this to make money.
Although our house is not living well enough to overflow,
She is living without any shortage on her mother’s income.
The reason I invested in the Yunseong Soft business was not because of money.
It was because I was curious how the non-name zero data of the Riemann zeta function could be used to make a computer security program.
Balhae sports work wasn’t about money either.
They just bought the warehouse to prevent Youngmi from moving to Yangyang.
However, after signing a contract for the sale of the warehouse, and talking with President Choi Moo-sik, I suddenly thought that I would like to try it properly.

Not only this.
Over the past few days, Anglo-American father has shared with me news about several companies, one of which was negotiations with a Uruguayan distributor.
My uncle even told me the details of the current negotiations, and as I listened to how my idea of exporting soccer equipment to Uruguay was being prepared as a concrete project worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, I felt a sense of bliss.
When Youngmi asked if the business was interesting, I nodded and said.
“Yeah, I think it’s fun. I want to learn this properly.”
That night.
After having dinner with my mother, I entered the room, opened a notebook, and filled out formulas.
By the time I finished filling out the formulas in my notebook, it was already past midnight.
I pressed the computer’s power button, and opened the non-named zero-point data folder of the Riemann zeta function that I had organized.
There, over 5 million non-name zero values are stored.
I made an example of selecting some of these non-name zero values and converting them to a continuous function, and prepared a document explaining the conversion process in detail.
When the not-so-long four-page document was completed, the time was well past 3 in the morning.
I printed out two copies of the documents, and put them neatly between my notebooks and put them in my bag.
I turned off the lights and lay in bed, but my heart was pounding and I could hardly sleep.
My heart isn’t pounding as much as when I held Youngmi in my arms today, but I’m still excited.
Meanwhile, the proof of the Riemann hypothesis has been stagnant.
I see Professor Park Bo-soo once a month, but the meeting with the professor was not very long because there was no research result.
After meeting Professor Park like this, my only research activity was to stop by the library of Hankuk University to check the new papers.
But tomorrow, the major’s sister will come.
There are many stories I want to share with my sister.
By the way, Major’s older sister’s major is topology.
My original major was analytics, but I changed from analytics to topology in the process of preparing my doctoral thesis.
I know that you are focusing more on topology now.
To define topology in simple terms, it is the study of the continuum existing in space.
The important fact here is that in order to be an object of topology, it must have a continuous form.
I want to meet the major older sister and talk about research.
