Episode 184. Investor (1)
In less than ten minutes, the elevator on the 7th floor rang.
As the elevator door opened, Chairman Wu Fei, his secretary, and bodyguards got out.
Kang-soo stood in front of him with a sad expression.
“greatly… You came quickly.”
“Isn’t there a Korean proverb that says to take out the horns of a cow with sweet seaweed? It’s like looking at things that couldn’t be solved while stopping by for other business.”
Originally, Chairman Wu Fei made the opponent come to him directly in everything. The only person who could sing such Wufei was China’s head of state.
Of course, Kang also knew Chairman Wu Fei’s tendencies.
“What a lie… . You can follow me this way.”
“Ohh—it’s completely different from last time.”
Automatic doors opened on both sides.
After passing through the entrance, I went inside and saw the busy staff walking around.
As Kangsu walked, he continued his conversation with Chairman Wu Fei in Chinese. Seeing this, the staff around him were shocked.
It was because there was talk about Kang-soo’s proficiency in multiple languages within the company, but it was dismissed as a rumor because few people had seen it in person.
In the meantime, Chairman Wu Fei, who had been following Kang Sui, slowly glanced around. Then, on one side, Edward Warner paused and approached.
“Long time no see. President Wufei.”
“… Hey, are you Warner, who used to be Chief?”
“That’s right, Chairman.”
Edward Warner’s previous job was chief at a hedge fund.
They even shook hands as they greeted each other.
“Uh-huh— how did you… . Nice to meet you, nice to meet you They say he suddenly quit and disappeared in New York, but here he is.”
“Somehow it happened.”
When Edward Warner held out his business card, Chairman Wu Fei accepted it.
「Camo Investment」
“Director. Edward Warner”
“Ohh… be the chief When I suggested that to you, the nose didn’t even shine. What tricks have you come here for?”
“At first, I came here just to see the conditions, but there was something that attracted people. As if the president had come here personally.”
“Heh heh— you’re still talking!”
It was not easy for Kangsu to bring Edward Warner. It was thanks to the presence of Jamie Klein in the meantime.
Of course, what Edward Warner saw and felt also played a part in accepting Kang-su’s proposal.
While talking like that, I went into the representative’s office and sat down.
Chairman Wu Fei smiled naturally as he looked around the office.
“As expected— even though I am old, my eyes are not wrong. I’ve been coveting you ever since I didn’t even know you were Chairman Jin’s grandson.”
At the sly self-praise, Kang-soo made only a calm expression and then brought out the contract documents right away with the main topic. In the meantime, the staff at the annex brought hot tea and put it in front of each other.
“Are you going to proceed with the investment management fund of 100 million yuan as last time?”
“Huh—will I come back like this and do it on the same terms as then?”
“If you’ve run out of pocket money, you can set it a little lower.”
Despite Jiang Su’s slightly sarcastic remark, Chairman Wu Fei’s smile did not disappear from his face.
“hehehe—thank you for worrying about my allowance. One, am I a person who lacks pocket money? There’s something you showed me. I want to show you too.”
“What do you want to show me?”
In response to such a question, President Wu Fei looked at Jiang Su with a piercing gaze and said,
“One billion yuan. My investment management fund is that much. Well— if you get a separate investment from Camo, that’s two billion yuan.”
One billion yuan alone is about 200 billion won in Korean currency. If you add a billion to that, you get a total of 400 billion won. It couldn’t have been a significant amount.
“We do not accept investment at the company level.”
It was an investment company after all. Manpower and time were the most important drivers.
It didn’t make a separate material product, and it didn’t need investment because it started with a surplus from the beginning.
“You still talk like a knife.”
“You can’t talk like a gun, can you?”
“… ha ha ha-! Did you even know how to joke?”
Kangsu was slightly sincere.
Of course, Chairman Wu Fei took it as a pure joke.
“Well, did you understand that? A billion yuan anyway. I will list it as an investment management fund.”
Beside me, Edward Warner was dazed and came to his senses. Immediately, as Kang-soo said, he wrote it down on a notebook and brought it out.
“Right, did the information I gave you the other day come in handy?”
“Well written. As expected of someone who is in charge of China, it was clear information.”
“It’s good for me too. I don’t want to see bugs or anything like that hanging around.”
Edward Warner questioned the conversation between the two and carefully asked.
“What deal did you have?”
“I have a job to catch a swindler in China. That’s why I asked for a favor.”
“… … ?”
Even after hearing the answer, Edward Warner found it difficult to understand.
In the meantime, the customer contract was handed over to Chairman Wu Fei and read.
“Good.”
Edward Warner added an explanation to Chairman Wufei’s brief exclamation.
“We will be in touch with you further regarding product-specific returns on investments.”
“Are you going to be in charge of me?”
“I will. I heard that the president wants a representative, but… It’s because you’re busier than you think.”
Chairman Wufei, who had a disappointed expression, nodded.
When Kang was out of touch, Camo made significant profits with cloud technology.
At the same time, rumors circulated rapidly in China, and it was heard that a number of chaebols were throwing a line to meet with Camo CEO Han Kang-soo.
And, as evidenced by the rumors, Kang-soo didn’t get in touch.
“It is. I fully understand.”
Kang-soo was a little puzzled by the atmosphere that ended quietly for some reason.
“… Thank you for your understanding.”
“Rather than— would you ever do that with my granddaughter?”
“It’s not possible.”
Kang Su’s answer, which came in 0.1 second, left Chairman Wu Fei feeling disappointed.
Ha Li-yeon, the youngest granddaughter of Chairman Wu Fei, was famous among businessmen in China and neighboring countries.
It was because she was the granddaughter of the Chiniu Group, but it was also because she was outstanding in terms of management skills as well as her beauty.
Of course, there were many stories of men approaching Ha Ri-yeon or marriage between families.
At this, Chairman Wu Fei was a little suspicious.
“Hey, maybe a man, not a woman… … .”
“Not even that.”
The answer came a little quicker than before.
“Big… I hate you so much, what can I do?”
Chairman Wu Fei stood up from his seat after a mumbled reply.
I was about to go outside to see him off, but Seong-sik Moon, the head of the investment team 4, hurriedly ran up.
“Chief! Chief!”
Edward Warner was also seeing Chairman Wufei off with Kangsu.
So I stood in front of Moon Seong-sik and looked at him.
“What is it?”
“The Jinsong Chemical that I was told to throw at the meeting earlier.”
“Why?”
“It exploded while we were all throwing it.”
“What exploded?”
“I-there—”
Moon Seong-shik pointed with his finger at the TVs installed on each of the four sides of the pillar in the center of the office.
All the news was playing on the TV screen.
[Jinsong Chemical, Hong ○○ Finance Director embezzlement of 104.2 billion won revealed, prosecution investigation.]
[A bomb that fell on Jinsong Chemical, a chemical giant. ○○ Hong, Director of Finance After embezzling about 100 billion won, the fact that he fled abroad… … .]
Edward Warner, who was watching the contents, immediately sat down and checked the stock price graph as if stealing the computer of a team member who was nearby.
Jinsong Chemical’s share price began to fall even before the report. And now it has plummeted to 15% and was caught on a circuit break.
“How much did we get? What about losses?”
“Fortunately, I managed to preserve enough to the point where I made a profit. The difference between the investment of 20 billion and the profit obtained is about 3.4 billion.”
Upon Moon Seong-shik’s report, Edward Warner and the staff around him were relieved.
At the same time, Edward Warner’s gaze turned to Kang-soo. This is because if he hadn’t taken out stocks as Kang-soo said, 20 billion won might have turned into puns.
“How did you know?”
“There is a way that only I know.”
In fact, Kang was also surprised. I didn’t expect Jinsong Chemical to explode as quickly as it does now.
The other day, I also heard Choi Yun-ho’s voice about RID Construction and TC International. I thought it was something that would happen later because there was nothing right right after. So I was just researching and preparing whenever I had a chance.
‘Maybe the timing isn’t constant… … ?’
Kangsu became confused.
In the meantime, his secretary, So Jin Kang, translated the words he heard around him and told Chairman Wu Fei.
“There was a stock that almost suffered a huge loss, but it seems that CEO Han Kang-soo ordered them to withdraw all of them right before they exploded.”
“Is it really?”
Chairman Wufei once again looked at Jiangsu with a surprised expression.
“Heh-heh—he’s a man I don’t even know.”
I was interested in Kang-soo, who started by knocking out dozens of bodyguards, thoroughly digging out the opponent’s weaknesses, and even proposing bold conditions.
Of course, I didn’t know what it was at first. Then, he jumped out with the absurd job of a celebrity manager, and eventually became the third generation of Jinyeon Group, and now the representative of a company that showed tremendous surplus and stability in a short period of time.
How can you not be amazed at these situations?
“I’m really sorry… … .”
Chairman Wu Fei, who continued to watch the precipitation, only sighed.
In the meantime, after the situation was settled, Kang-su met Chairman Wu Fei’s eyes.
“There were a lot of excuses for a while.”
“No. If something happens, it can happen.”
Kang Su guided Chairman Wu Fei to wait for the elevator. At that time, Simon and Jack, who were in the break room by the entrance, came out and caught up with Kang-su.
At the same time, Chairman Wufei’s bodyguards were very tense. It was because they hadn’t seen them before when they entered the Camo office.
Kang-soo stepped forward and explained.
“These are my bodyguards. I came out thinking I was going out.”
“Are you a bodyguard? Is it really necessary?”
Chairman Wu Fei was taken aback when he heard the explanation.
“Now that I have a location, I need it.”
ding—
When the elevator arrived, we all went down to the underground parking lot. It was a customer who decided to attract a billion yuan, so he cared about it as much as possible.
Chairman Wu Fei climbed into the vehicle he had removed earlier and lowered the window from the back seat.
“Thank you for coming out like this.”
“no. Be careful and go back.”
“If you need anything like last time, let me know anytime. I will help with anything I can get my hands on.”
“… … .”
Kang-su just nodded his head without answering. It was neither accepted nor rejected.
It was because they were just giving and receiving out of necessity rather than understanding each other anyway.
Simon said cautiously as the car pulled out of the underground parking lot.
“To the extent that Chairman Wu Pei of Chiniu Group came to visit and offer to invest… … .”
“Is that old man that famous?”
Jack didn’t know what to look for.
At this, Simon stuck out his tongue.
“really… Study up.”
“Are you saying I am ignorant?”
Seeing the two bickering, Kang-soo spoke cautiously.
“I think there will be an article on the Chinese side related to TC International soon.”
“Is everything resolved?”
“Until now. Still, I will go to Chairman Jin Yeon-seok’s house soon.”
Having said that, Kangsu let out a deep sigh.
