“(Good!)”
She put her hands together as if in prayer.

Judging by the reaction, it seemed that Elisha was also quite famous in the industry.
“(Then I’ll ask the chairman. If it succeeds, will you introduce me?)”
If it’s my request, Elisa-san will meet you.
Since it is the manager’s duty to find talented employees, he would not be coldly refusing them.
“(yes.)”
“(Tell me your number. I’ll check the chairman’s schedule and contact you.)”
Miya Hurt held out her phone.
“(Please contact me.)”

The fun time at Disney Land passed quickly. Ha-yeon imitated Fiery’s dance in the hotel room as if she was very satisfied.
“Don’t lose your innocence.”
The child imitated Fiery’s line and smiled. I was very proud to have brought them to the amusement park.
“Was it that good?”
“Yes! Dad is the best!”
Hayeon ran up to me and hugged me.
‘If I knew you’d like it this much, I’d bring it sooner.’
I even thought about stopping by one more time before going back to New York.
I fell asleep as soon as I brought my family to the hotel, as if it was hard after walking around the amusement park all day. I saw my family sleeping and went out to the living room.
The bodyguards were professionally guarding the room in silence. It was strong.
I brought my laptop and carefully reviewed the information about the situation in Korea that I received from Benjamin Chung.
‘Don’t just throw a jab, land an effective hit.’
The Dokgo Group and the Hwangryong Group only shed light on the problems of the companies themselves, and so far there have been no articles touching the Royal Family. If you were going to fight moderately and then quit, I was thinking of putting a push from this side.
I sent a message to Benjamin Chung.
{Please prepare for hacking the Koryo Ilbo website.}
{All right.}
Since it is an old site, it will not be sufficiently prepared for hacking.
‘I have to use the Koryo Ilbo to create an internal fight.’
It was difficult to give the image that Dokgo-jin hit the ground with just my throwing. So, he had to use Dokgojin’s trumpeter, the Koryo Ilbo.
I decided to wait for the situation to mature.

Jiying. Jiying.
The phone started ringing. It was a call from Miya Hurt.
“(hello.)”
{(Mr. Jaegu? I’m Miya Hurt.)}
“(Yes. I am Jaegu Kim.)”
{(Since I talked to the chairman about Mr. Jaegu, he said he would like to see his face sooner or later.)}
It’s such an easy relationship with the chairman. I wondered what kind of relationship it was.
“(When are you available?)”
{(Do you have time tomorrow evening?)}
It didn’t matter if the visit to Silicon Valley was delayed by a day. If only we could attract Disneyland to Korea, it seemed that it could be a great help to Seol Gyeong-taek in the general election.
‘It’s also an opportunity to prove my worth.’
“(Yes. It’s okay.)”
{(Then I’ll hand over the number to the chairman. I can call you tomorrow morning, so please answer.)}
“(All right.)”
{(And most importantly! It’s an absolute secret that I asked for introductions to people in the clothing industry.)}
“(why?)”
{(Just keep it a secret.)}
There must be some reason. It wasn’t that difficult.
“(All right.)”
{(Then, make sure to introduce Elisa Carver later.)}
“(yes.)”
After dinner tomorrow, I’m going to call Elisa.

During the day, I enjoyed LA to the fullest. We ate LA galbi in LA and went shopping together at the farmers market.
I bought dry-aged beef and asked the chef to grill it. The steak eaten outdoors was exceptional.
I wanted to be with my family all day, but in the evening I had work to do.
After asking his subordinates for his family, he headed to the hotel restaurant to meet Dusney’s board chairman.
‘What kind of person is this?’
I thought it would be nice to be a person who values children’s dreams.
That’s the company my dad invested in.
When I arrived at the hotel restaurant and named Miya Hut, the waiter directed me to a table in a corner. A middle-aged man was sitting there with Miya Hutt.
‘That man is Walter Sanford.’
Walter Sanford was the man who chaired Dunsney’s board. Currently, at 58 years old, he is quite old, but he looks like he is in his 40s because he takes good care of himself.
Honey dripped from his eyes as he looked at Miya Hurt.
‘Looks like they’re dating.’
I don’t know the details, but it was clear that there was some connection between the two that the mediocre model Miya Hurt was able to summon the tycoon Walter Sanford so quickly.
Men in their 50s and women in their 20s. It seemed like an unlikely combination, but it wasn’t uncommon for American businessmen.
When I arrived at my seat after being guided by the waiter, Miya Hutt waved her hand with a bright expression.
“(Welcome. Mr. Jaegu.)”
“(thank you for the invitation.)”
“(What? This is Mr. Walter Sanford, who serves as the chairman of the board of directors at Dusney. And this is Mr. Jaegu Kim, whom I mentioned earlier.)”
“(Walter Sanford)”
Walter Sanford reached out to me. He held out his hand to me with a businessmanly smile.
“(I am Kim Jae-gu, CEO of J&H Co., Ltd.)”
took his hand It was not necessary to disclose the name of the company, but I thought it would be easier to talk about it if it was a place where businessmen were having a conversation.
I hadn’t told Miya Hurt that I had a business, so it wouldn’t have been communicated.
“(hahahaha. Did you have a good time at Dunesyland?)”
“(It was a place full of dreams and hopes. My family was very satisfied.)”
“(CEO, are you satisfied?)”
he asked politely. There seemed to be a hint of elegance in his tone.
‘It’s like the entrepreneurs I met at Brayden Harper’s party.’
Successful businessmen could feel self-confidence and confidence in themselves with just one greeting.
So did Walter Sanford. It seemed as if he was expressing with his whole body that he had the initiative in this position.
“(Everything was good except too many people)”
“(It can’t be helped because it’s so popular. I’ve been thinking about limiting the number of people, but it doesn’t make sense to close the door to the guests who come to the land of dreams and hopes, right?)”
he laughed out loud
“(That’s true. It was nice to see many people from all over the world enjoying themselves, but the high population density made it quite tiring to walk around.)”
“(I’m constantly thinking about that.)”
“(The country of dreams and hopes cannot be closed, but can we make several doors?)”
Walter Sanford burst into laughter.
“(That’s what you wanted to say.)”
“(It’s embarrassing to think you’ve been revealed.)”
“(No. That’s a very good approach. I heard that Mr. Kim is interested in creating a Disneyland in South Korea.)”
He glanced at Miya Hurt, and she smiled and nodded. The conversation would have been easier if we had talked about it beforehand.
“(Yes. Do you know about the Korean market?)”
“(Of course. Thank you for loving Dusney’s movies and characters.)”
If you know that the Korean market has potential, there is no need to explain every detail. It was nice not to have to unfold the material I had packed in the restaurant.
“(As you well know, Dunesney is very popular in Korea. However, despite being a country with a population of over 50 million, there is no Dunesney Land yet.)”
“(There have been people who have been in contact a few times before.)”
The pledge to attract Disney Land was not a completely blank pledge.
“(Did you have a problem?)”
“(It was not easy to secure a site. Korea is a densely populated country, so it was not possible to find land requested by Disneyland in an area with adequate transportation.)”
“(Would it be all right if the land was secured?)”
“(Of course. The Korean market is a very attractive market.)”
he replied with a smile.
The waiter came and waited, so I ordered the menu first and continued the conversation.
“(Then why don’t you cooperate with me to create a Disney Land in Korea?)”
It was clear that creating Dunesyland in Korea would make a lot of money. It was crowded everywhere as countless people searched for a place for a family outing every weekend.
Although imports from domestic amusement parks would decrease, it was clear that consumer satisfaction would increase.
If we could divert the demand from overseas visitors to Korea to go to Disneyland, that alone could be seen as a great achievement.
The problem was funding.
According to the previous Disney Land review, a capital of around $15 billion was required to build a theme park. Of course, instead of paying 100% in cash, it would bring in debt and lower investment costs through equity investment, but it goes without saying that it is a business that requires a lot of money nonetheless.
“(Currently, the density of Dunesyland is too high in Asia. It’s in Japan, isn’t it in China?)”
“(There are both Japan and China, but don’t they generate enough revenue? Korea has a high population density, so you should be able to make a profit that doesn’t fall behind the two places.)”
“(It still needs to be examined closely.)”
From nob le mt l dot com
Japan and China also exist, but why is there a reason not only in Korea? I handed over a copy of the material I had prepared in advance from my briefcase.
The table was covered with food, so I had no choice but to hand it to him.
“(What is this?)”
“(This is data on the need to enter the Korean market. If you have time, I would like to open a presentation and explain it myself.)”
He opened the material and began to read.
The story of the expansion of the Korean cultural content market and the increasing interest in Korea among foreigners. It contained analysis data on the Korean market, such as the increasing trend of Korean tourism income.
It was not written alone, but was written together with the help of Fred Balman and Benjamin Chung.
It was not only the citizens of the country who visited the theme park, but also the tourists who visited the country.
Walter Sanford rummaged through the material with a soft look on his face, then folded it up and placed it on his table.
“(What do you think?)”
“(Certainly an attractive proposition, but I’d like to examine it in a bit more detail.)”
It wasn’t a small enough story to make a decision here. If the material I gave him moved his heart even a little, that was enough.
“(How much can Mr. Kim invest for Disneyland?)”
“(I’m also thinking of buying all the shares.)”
“(Do you know how much it is?)”
“(Isn’t that about $6 billion after debt?)”
Walter Sanford’s expression grew serious.
“(Willing to pay 6 billion dollars.)”
“(yes.)”
He looked at Miya Hurt.
“(I told you. You look like a big man.)”
She flirted and glanced at me. I thought my liver had gone overboard to do such a thing in front of my lover. You have to have that much guts to meet the giants.
Ignoring Miya Hurt, I focused on Walter Sanford.
“(I will tell you that I want Dunesyland that much. My child really likes Fiery.)”
The cost of making Dunesneyland is approximately 15 billion dollars. It was about 19 trillion won in our money. I don’t have that much money now, but architecture isn’t just about money you have. It was something that had to be paid off after taking on debt.
Because the yield of Disney Land more than covered that much. In particular, the rate of return in Korea, where there is no entertainment, was more expected.
‘You can’t take the investment. If I talk to Seol Gyeong-taek, I might be able to get investment money from the local government.’
Dungeness Land in Hong Kong was also known to have paid a lot of money from the government. Because it is a business that many people want, it was good to use as a pledge.
So money was nothing to worry about. As long as the contract is concluded, I will be able to create something.
‘And there’s no way I’ll give 100% of the shares in Duzny.’
There was an experience where I did not see a big return because I invested a small amount in Japan’s Disneyland. Since then, he has taken enough stake in the place he made.
So I didn’t have to invest $6 billion. Even if I had to invest, I could have made enough by scraping together the money I had in Korea.
It was generating over 1 trillion won in revenue every week.
‘More than anything else, Ha-yeon likes it.’
Making money, being a good father, and killing two birds with one stone.
Walter Sanford took a business card from his pocket and handed it to him.
“(If you say that, I’ll review it positively. There was a reason you were an acquaintance of Brayden Harper.)”
“(Do you know Brayden Harper?)”
“(Sure.)”
he smiled contentedly.
“(I saw him next to Brayden Harper at the party last time. I wondered what kind of person he was, and now I know.)”
“(hahahaha.)”
“(I’m familiar with Della Foster, and I didn’t even find a treasure ship this time.)”
“(yes.)”
“(It seems that you are the lucky one.)”
Even though I knew that, I was ignoring it. Does your face have to be this thick to do business?
he called the waiter.
“(Did you call?)”
“(Three glasses of champagne, please.)”
“(All right.)”
After a while, chilled champagne came out in an ice bucket. The waiter put three champagne glasses on the table and poured champagne.
