Episode 164. Camouflage (3)
Kang Soo-do met the eyes of the bodyguards of President Wufei.
“President, people always seem to have a lot of dissatisfaction with me.”
“… big, big Isn’t it because I don’t know you?”
“Why are they different from last time? Maybe because of your granddaughter?”
It was because Chairman Wufei’s first wife Song Chen-hua had attached bodyguards to Ha Li-yeon with their own people.
However, Wu Fei was clearly aware of what had happened at that time. Even her own granddaughter used it to test the precipitation.
“Ah, come to think of it, I heard that he even bet on Riyeon and said he wouldn’t see it. Did you really have to do that?”
“Because it bothers me.”
“… Are you deliberately keeping away from women? or not… … .”
The mischievous Chairman Wufei’s gaze scanned Kangsu. Kangsu’s style was not significantly different from before. A plain black suit set with a white shirt. Even so, I felt an aura that made it impossible to think it was easy.
But at that moment, Kang-soo felt a great discomfort.
“What do you see?”
“Huh—you still don’t know what fear is.”
“If you’re just going to say useless words, please go back.”
Kang-soo was annoyed by the conversation that was tail-to-tail.
But Chairman Wu Fei only smiled happily at what was so good.
“The investment is 100 million yuan. How is it?”
About 20 billion in Korean currency. The bodyguards who were standing behind him suddenly looked at the proposed amount in surprise.
On the other hand, Kangsu still had a calm expression. I didn’t want to continue a fight I didn’t care about.
“Is there any reason why I should accept that money?”
“Aren’t you saying you want to be a customer? If it was a company, wouldn’t it bother to cover customers?”
“… I will take it.”
“oh-! Now the story can proceed—”
“instead.”
Chairman Wufei exclaimed, Kang-soo stopped talking and entered.
“On the condition that I have no involvement in the investment management.”
“Huh—not even a penny or two, but a whopping 100 million yuan. Aren’t these conditions too excessive?”
Usually, a process is needed to determine how the investment is managed and whether it is used in relation to actual profits. Even the river didn’t know that.
However, I knew very well that it would not be good if I am vaguely entangled with Chairman Wu Fei.
If there was even the slightest gap, it was obvious that Chairman Wu Fei would squeeze in.
“You don’t have to do it if you don’t like it.”
“I know you have no experience in managing a company, but I don’t know what you believe in.”
“If you don’t like—”
“You keep going to that option. I get it, I get it. I will never get involved.”
Hearing the answer, Kang-soo stared at it and said.
“How long will you be in Korea?”
“Shouldn’t we at least go ahead with a contract with you?”
“… I will prepare a contract as soon as possible and see you.”
It was to send Chairman Wu Fei back to China as soon as possible so that he would not be seen again.
Of course, Chairman Wu Fei was well aware of such intentions.
“Heh heh— who would have known that there would be people who hated me so openly.”
“If you know what I hate, I hope you don’t see it.”
At those words, Chairman Wu Fei rose from his seat.
“I won’t bother seeing you off.”
“I hope to see you as soon as possible. hahahaha-“
Despite Jiang Su’s provocation, President Wu Fei just laughed and left the office with his bodyguard.
.

.
Chairman Wu Fei approached the car parked in the underground parking lot.
But someone was standing in front of the car. He was an elderly gentleman with gray hair who looked to be in his 60s.
“Sojin River… When did you come back?”
“I finished work two days ago and was about to go home, but he said he was in Korea, so he came right here.”
It was So Jin-kang, the exclusive secretary who had been supporting Chairman Wu Fei for over 40 years.

Not too long ago, he was vacating his seat on behalf of Chairman Wu Fei for an important matter.
They all got into the car. Chairman Wu Fei, who boarded in the back seat, said while looking at So Jin-gang, who was seated next to him.
“Did you check the work in Europe well?”
“So far, no problem. When it happened earlier, I’m really sorry I couldn’t come.”
He was talking about how his sons, Wu Chao-shi and Wu Xuan, almost got him.
Even then, Sojingang was away. And I was told about the matter belatedly, but it was after it had already been resolved.
“It’s okay, isn’t it already in the past? The ending wasn’t bad, and since I found a guy I coveted, it turned out better.”
“You mean the guy you just met?”
In Sojin-gang’s hand was the data of the precipitation he had received on his way back to Korea. Once I checked the documents, there was nothing unusual about it.
“that’s right.”
“I heard about work… . Of course, he could be useful as the third generation of the newly appeared Jinyeon group. Could it even be of great use?”
It was because Kangsu was the youngest member of the Jinyeon group.
“Do you think so?”
“I also heard about Lady Ha Ri-yeon. To mobilize even your beloved granddaughter… . I’m not sure why you’re doing that.”
“Let’s just watch it.
It was a light yet heavy word.
Sojingang knew the meaning well, so he didn’t add any more words.
The car left in the meantime and headed to the hotel where we were staying.

Jamie Klein stood in front of the Incheon International Airport arrival hall with bodyguards.
Shortly thereafter, a black man with glasses wearing a high-end blue suit came out of the arrivals hall.
Seeing him, Jamie waved his hand.
When the man saw Jamie like that, he let go of his calm expression and smiled as he approached.
“Jamie—!”
“Edward! how have you been doing? Let’s go to the car for now.”
The two greeted each other with a hug, then walked forward and got into a car parked on the road.
So the car started right away and headed for Seoul.
“Edward, isn’t it very difficult because of jet lag?”
“Whoa— it’s hard to get used to long-distance flights after all. Still, it wasn’t bad because I liked the business flight service Jamie gave me. It’s okay to sleep a little later.”
“I’m glad.”
The full name of the man called Edward was Edward Warner. He was a well-known figure in New York’s Wall Street hedge fund.
“Rather than that, I heard that Jamie ended up working with Hawke on Webflix and even took over as CEO of Tuun. Aren’t you going too well?”
“Because it was planned a long time ago. Webflix was also an experience for that.”
“Are you great?”
The car was still running. The scenery that I started to see from the airport outside the window passed by.
Then Jamie Clein asked cautiously.
“Have you thought about the scout gun? The conditions they offered seemed pretty good.”
“The condition is second, and I choose who will be my boss. Jamie knows that.”
“I will tell you one thing.”
“What do you mean?
“You will never regret it.”
When Edward Warner heard that, he wondered.
“I looked at the representative’s resume, but there was nothing special about it. stunt? That’s right, isn’t that exaggerated? And it has nothing to do with management. What did Jamie see and think that way?”
“You will know when you experience it. Because he never disappoints. It always exceeds your imagination.”
Edward Warner, still unable to comprehend, let out a shallow sigh.
In the meantime, the car continued to run, passing the edge of Incheon and running along Olympic Highway to Seoul.
A little over an hour later, it was parked in the underground parking lot of Gyeongrak Building at Seonjeongneung Station. I took the elevator to the 7th floor and got off.
The large office was mostly empty, with only a sofa, table, and desk in the middle.
It was Kang-soo who was sitting at the desk.
Kang-soo got up from his seat and approached the two of them and introduced himself in English.
“First of all, I am Han Kang-soo, the CEO of Camo Investment.”
“This is Edward Warner.”
After saying goodbye, we sat facing each other on the sofa.
Edward Warner glanced at the river once. The introduction was already over, so I stayed quiet and said.
“I did not come to accept Jamie’s introduction unconditionally. And, to be honest, I don’t like working with a son of a conglomerate who knows nothing about management.”
From the beginning, I went in by stabbing the truth and facts.
Startled by this, Jamie Klein looked at him.
“Edward—!”
“Did I say something wrong?”
While the two were talking, Kang-soo slowly opened his mouth.
“I am sorry if I have disappointed you. Like you said, I’ve never done business before. Instead, the funds needed for operation can be raised without any problems.”
At Kang-soo’s answer, Edward Warner leaned back on the sofa with his arms crossed with a spirited expression.
“Heh—if you’re thinking of touching it for only $450,000, please don’t even mention it.”
In fact, Edward Warner was disappointed even before entering the building.
Because the car goes into the building and it’s too much compared to Wall Street in New York. So even if I worked, I thought that the funds to be operated would not be large.
At that time, Kang-soo looked into Edward Warner’s eyes and said.
“First of all, the investment management investment is $10 million for my own expenses.”
“… what, what?”
It was about 13 billion won.
Of course, Kangsu did not stop there.
“In addition, Qiniu Group plans to invest 100 million yuan. In dollars, I think it would be about 15 million.”
“What, what—!”
“Tuun also promised me $10 million. Would this be all right for now?”
When Edward Warner heard that, his expression hardened.
It totaled $35 million in U.S. dollars. About 45 billion in Hanwha. It was terrifying for the scale of being operated by a company just starting out.
“You mean that’s really possible?”
“The investment is almost certain. In the case of Chiniu Group, the contract has not yet been signed, but there are enough funds to replace it even if it is canceled.”
“… … .”
Kangsu added while looking at Edward Warner, who was dumbfounded for a moment.
“The initial salary of $400,000 plus $100,000 plus $500,000. We will also change the performance-based incentive rate from 3% to 5%. How is it?”
Edward Warner hesitated for a moment at the unconventional proposal before opening his mouth.
“Do you think it’s okay to hit only with conditions?”
“Absolutely no touch when it comes to investment management. Of course, regarding the use of funds, the financial line will need review, but I think the authority will be sufficient. Oh, since we also have to hire staff, we will give you the primary personnel right. My title is the head of the investment management division.”
Edward Warner got more confused. It was because, looking at the current conditions, it was no different from asking him to take charge of the current company and run it.
“Have you ever thought of running a company?”
“So you’re not going to get it?”
“but… Doesn’t this mean that you just watch behind the scenes and make a profit? In this way, it is no different from ordinary customers.”
Before I knew it, Edward Warner’s body leaned forward. That’s how strong the proposal was.
On the other hand, Kang-soo leaned back at his explanation.
“I think it’s okay to do well in each field. Mr. Warner is good at investing, and I am good at raising money. Wouldn’t that be enough?”
“It’s not wrong, but… I am a money management pro. What if I use the money as I please, commit fraud, and disappear abroad?”
Even if it did, it could really happen.
Of course, it wasn’t that Kangsu hadn’t thought about it that far.
“You don’t have to worry about that. I’m also a pro at finding and catching people.”
“… yes? what is that… … ?”
Only Jamie Klein, standing next to him, understood that.
“How is it? Would you accept the offer?”
Kangsu held out his hand toward Edward Warner.
