Feeling the gaze, Kim Jae-gu opened his mouth.
“(I found a ship.)”
“(You found the ship?)”
one of the sailors asked questioningly. As Jaffrey frowned and blocked the gap, he hesitated and stepped back.
“(That… I just asked because I was curious.)”
“(Yes. It seemed to be a trade ship.)”

Jaegu Kim told the story as it was. Since they had sworn an oath of confidentiality, they would have to pay an astronomical amount if the story leaked out.
So it didn’t matter if I let you know.
It wasn’t just the sailors who were surprised.
The captain widened his eyes and asked again.
“(You found the ship?)”
“(Yes. So please don’t say anything about this matter.)”
The sailors looked at each other with puzzled expressions.
“(Finding a treasure ship in the middle of the sea at once?)”
“(Does that make sense?)”
The captain shouted loudly at the crew.
“(See, what did I say? I’ll have a good drink.)”
He snatched the note from the hand of the sailor who had initiated the bet.
one of the sailors murmured.
“(Is this the mysterious magic of the East?)”
It seemed that there would be a faith that was not there.

They paid a fair price for Ricardo Gibson and his crew. He was also scheduled to fly to the mainland, so he boarded a private plane operated by Titanium Security.
“(Hyung. It’s been a while.)”
When George Gibson greeted him, Ricardo Gibson clenched his fist and thrust it forward.
“(Is the job worth doing?)”
“(so so.)”
The brothers lightly bumped their fists and boarded the private plane together. My bodyguards and I also entered the private plane.
When I came to Hawaii from Korea, I used a private plane, so the interior was the same as I had customized.
“(I’ll make a phone call.)”
“(Feel free to call.)”
Ricardo Gibson ducked into the cockpit. While I was talking with my brothers, I decided to go ahead with my work.
‘Who should I ask for salvage?’
When in doubt, it was best to consult Fred Balman. First, I informed the law firm Sanctuary of the facts in order to avoid legal problems.
Paige Olsen spoke confidently when she heard that she had found a treasure ship.
{(Leave the legal process to us, and you can start salvage right away.)}
It was reliable. Since I signed a contract with the law firm Sanctuary, I haven’t had any problems with the law.
{(Do you have anything more to say?)}
There was one more work currently in progress at the law firm Sanctuary. It was the purchase of land in the outskirts of Silicon Valley.
The manager, Harry Alexander, sent me quick reports every day.
“(Harry Alexander also seems to be nearing the end of his work. I’m looking forward to it because the notice is right in front of me.)”
{(They say it will be finished within this month. Just trust us and leave it to us.)}
“(Only Paige Olsen’s team I’ll trust)”
{(I won’t let you down.)}
She was a trustworthy woman.
After talking to Paige Olsen, I called Fred Balman. He answered the phone immediately as if he had been waiting.
{(Boss. What did you call me for?)}
“(What must happen, but should I call you?)”
{(hahahaha. Yes.)}
I’m a bit sad for some reason. It was true though.
“(I’m trying to salvage a shipwreck, do you have a reliable company?)”
{(A shipwreck? A recently wrecked ship?)}
“(Looks pretty old.)”
{(The possibility of the ship breaking should also be considered.)}
“(yes.)”
It was a ship made of wood, so it wouldn’t be strange if it broke.
{(I knew someone, but I don’t know if they still work. I’ll find out.)}
“(Please introduce me as someone you can trust.)”
{(Yes. I’ll do my best to find out.)}
With Fred Balman’s ability to handle things, he’ll be able to find someone he can trust. I decided to trust him and wait.
‘Is this the last business call?’
When Harry Alexander’s work was finished, sooner or later there would be work on the construction of skyscrapers in San Francisco.
‘It would be better to entrust it to Taesan Construction again this time.’
Im Han-ul is my best friend, and Lim Han-ul’s father, Lim Cheol-hyun, also showed considerable trust in me. So I wanted to give them a job if nothing special happened.
‘It’s a misunderstanding, but it’s true that I suffered damage because of me, so wouldn’t it be nice to take this opportunity to change my image?’
If the company could build a symbolic landmark on the yolk land of America, the value of the company would increase enough.
Although the purchase of the land had not yet been completed, it was clear from the report that the purchase of the requested area would be completed sooner or later.
‘Should I ask for an estimate first?’
Landmark had to be innovative. Sufficient time was needed to conceive of a building that would stand out as much as possible without being caught by the law.
I called Im Hanul.
{uh. Jaegu.}
He woke up and his voice was locked.
“Sorry. Did you wake up because of me?”
{no. I’m fine. what’s the matter?}
“Are you busy with work these days?”
{It’s good to be busy. Are you okay too?}
A yawn was heard over the receiver.
“Of course. How is your relationship with your father these days?”
{Thanks to you, it has improved a lot. These days, he doesn’t even touch me and just asks if there’s anything he can help me with.}
Lim Chul-hyeon only wished Im Han-ul well, but he didn’t seem to be such a bad person. After being beaten by Dokgo Group, my stubbornness decreased a lot, and thanks to that, the father-son relationship seemed to have improved a lot.
‘Should I call this a blessing in disguise?’
It was clear that if the image of Taesan Construction could be properly restored, it would be a blessing.
{why? What’s going on?}
“I’m going to put up a building in Silicon Valley this time.”
{Isn’t Silicon Valley an expensive town?}
Silicon Valley’s housing prices were famous enough to be well known to Koreans.
“that’s right.”
{I heard that the floor area ratio isn’t very good there.}
“There are rumors that there will be good news soon.”
{hey. You believed in rumors and pushed yourself so hard… no. did you have a lot of money Don’t overdo it, but you can do whatever you want.}
The money of 3 trillion won was enough for that.
‘The money I’m trying to spend right now isn’t in this bank account…’
The money already accumulated in the account of J&H Corporation was close to 6 trillion won. It was thanks to giving up the profit of the best product and collecting money by attracting money to this side.
‘It would be nice to go to the next level soon.’
Since the last time the level rose to 4, the quest hadn’t come out at all. Even now, I made a lot of money, but considering the early growth, there was a corner that was disappointing.
‘The first quest was 2 billion in assets, and the second quest came out when the assets were 20 billion. And the third quest came out when the asset was 777.7 billion…’
All of this happened before the US market opened.
‘What if the quest conditions changed as the US market opened?’
The first came when his value increased 10 times, and the second time came when he increased 39 times. If so, it was clear that this time it would come out when it rose to a larger multiple.
‘The money I have right now is over 24 trillion, including the paper companies…’
Considering the numbers so far, the quest will come out of 25 trillion, which is equivalent to $ 200 billion, or $ 777.7 billion at all.
I don’t know which one, but it was clear that I had to continue to increase my assets.
‘I wish I could come out early.’
Im Hanul’s voice brought me back to reality.
{What can I do to help?}
First of all, it was the first thing to do step by step from the shut up.
“Are you good at designing Taesan Construction?”
{design? well. I’m confident in civil engineering, but I’m not sure about design.}
Being confident in civil engineering meant being confident in quality. It was not necessary to entrust the design to Taesan, but it seemed like a good idea to give it a chance.
“Then would you like to build a landmark?”
{land mark?}
“Uh. I’d like to take orders from Taesan Engineering & Construction, but design is important. I’d like to see the design draft first.”
{Why didn’t you tell your father directly.}
“But since it’s your father, I thought I’d talk to you first.”
{is it? Then I’ll ask you one more time.}
“Please.”
{What style do you want the design to be?}
I didn’t like the plain design.
Since we were planning to attract tech startups, I thought it would be nice to have an innovative design.
“Future-oriented design? There’s something that feels like a future city, right?”
{I’ll find out. Architectural designers can also hire other people to do it.}
Also Im Hanul.
even know my heart
“Uh. I’ll look forward to it.”
{Don’t expect too much. burdened.}
Having said that, it was clear that he would do his best.

Fred Balman’s work speed exceeded my expectations. As soon as I arrived in New York, said goodbye to Ricardo Gibson, and got into the car, he opened his mouth.
“(Two shipwreck salvage candidates have been selected, so the boss will see and decide.)”
“(Let’s meet the recommended candidates first.)”
Will you help us for the future of Korea?
Fred Balman said he would introduce two candidates for the salvage of the wreck. But what mattered to me was not the fact that there were two of them.
‘Since it’s Wednesday, I don’t have much time to stay in New York for the weekend, even to meet Seol Gyeong-taek.’
Considering the trust cooldown, there was no time to meet more than two people anyway.
It was now 6:00 am on Thursday in New York time, so it was 8:00 pm on Thursday in Seoul. Since my appointment with Seol Gyeong-taek was at 4:00 on Saturday, I could see that there were 44 hours left.
If the flight and travel time is 16 hours, considering the meal time, it was inevitable to see it tightly.
‘I have no choice but to check on one person right away and meet another one 24 hours later.’
I had to hurry.
***
Moving quickly, I was able to meet the two presidents before leaving for Korea. And, as expected, the person who recommended Fred Balman first was more reliable.
‘If the reliability is 86% and 81%, I should believe the former without question.’
Thanks to Fred Balman’s good eye for people, there were no strange people. Rather, it was strange to have a person with 86% reliability in the first meeting.
‘I can trust him with the lifting.’
As usual, I left it to Fred Balman to run it within budget. With a competent aide, there was no need to worry about every little thing.
‘The eyes of trust are comfortable.’
I never thought I would use this technology so often. Because I thought that at least I would get some money from stocks, get revenge on Dok-go-jeong, and live a normal life.
However, the magic of compound interest is like a snowball, so the money grows exponentially, and the enemy also bites its tail and becomes huge.
‘Now I have no choice but to fight.’
He had to live in fear that his family would be threatened if he left the heartless killers who were on the same boat as Dokgo-jin alone.
‘I can’t help it if I want to live safely with Ha-yeon.’
So I decided to clean it up.
‘If I can’t become an ally, I have no choice but to send him to prison.’
There was also a third option, but I didn’t want to choose that one.
On the plane heading to Korea, I quietly closed my eyes and thought.
‘What should I say to get on the same boat as Seol Gyeong-taek?’
The opponent who did not work with money had a headache.
***
Saturday at 3pm. Dowon Dawon.
Seol Gyeong-taek read and re-read the materials related to Kim Jae-gu.
‘Is this possible?’
Kim Jae-gu, who served two years in prison for embezzlement, was released penniless earlier this year.
‘At that time, the family’s fortunes were on the decline and the mart run by my parents went bankrupt, and I gave the apartment I bought with the money I had saved over my life to my ex-wife.’
Hogu did not have such a Hogu.
‘It’s a common story so far.’
Unfortunately, there are a lot of hogu in the world. Those who give everything they have because they are blinded by love.
If it had been this far, it would have been just the story of such a poor person, but Kim Jae-gu’s life began to change from then on.
‘I got a job two months after I was released from prison, and I quit shortly thereafter. How did you make so much money when you didn’t inherit any inheritance?’
