I couldn’t sleep after buying 1,000 shares of Marine Transportation yesterday.
I invested all the 3 million won I made while mortgaging my body, so it was only natural to wake up at 6 a.m. and stare at the monitor without sleep.
‘Is it really going to work?’
As soon as the 9:00 market started, letters appeared in front of my eyes.
[Lv1. Would you like to see tomorrow’s share price?]
[Right hand if you want, left hand if you don’t want]
When I squeezed my right hand, a new pop-up came up.
[Gwanghwa Holdings 17,400
Deodeok Pharmaceutical 10,200
Deokcheon Forging 7,145
Seam Trading 4,510
T&U 2,487]
I quickly jotted down notes on my notepad and opened the stock window. With trembling hands, I typed [Marine Transport] into the search bar.
{Marine Transport 2,940}
{Profit/Loss -40,000}
{Yield -1.34%}
Damn it!
***
“Huh! Heh!! Heh!! It’s nonsense.”
In conclusion, the letters really did inform the stock price of the next day. I mean the closing price, not the opening price.
{The deal has been concluded.}
{Marine Transportation 3,640 1000 shares}
Even after deducting fees, more than 3.6 million won came into our hands. I didn’t feel it.
“Really. Is this really possible?”
Unfortunately or fortunately, all the stocks I saw this morning were negative. So, I placed a trade with a calm mind and waited for the market to close, and I got an unexpected income.
‘You made 600,000 won a day? It’s crazy.’
It was 600,000 won because the seed was small. If Sid had grown up, he would have made a lot more money.
‘If I keep making money like this, I wonder if I can bring Ha-yeon too.’
When I went to meet Ha-yeon, I remembered the big house I faced. Would Ha-yeon like it if I brought her back unprepared?
It was clear that my ex-wife and her husband would laugh at me.
“Dokgo Group’s three sons, Dokgojeong…”
He clenched his fists and clenched his teeth. In Dokgo Group, which is ranked 10th in the business world, the chaebol was the conglomerate, even if it was the worst.
There was no way he could spend this much money to destroy him. Even if money increased exponentially thanks to the magic of compound interest, a larger amount of money was needed to properly bounce when a good hand came in.
‘Should I ask for a mortgage on my house?’
There were whispers from the devil for a while, but I was able to bear it. It has not yet been fully tested. It’s not too late to talk after being called a little more.
Besides, it was clear that he would be extremely worried if he suddenly asked for a mortgage in the current situation. The store was gone and now all that was left was a house for the family of four to stay in, so I couldn’t bear to speak.
‘I have no money, no Gao!’
It was embarrassing to think that I had to stand up on my own to benefit from my parents. He hit the ball with both hands and stood up.
“Let’s call the seed first.”
***
There was nothing to do while buying and burying stocks. I woke up in the morning, checked stock prices, put all my money into stocks that would rise a lot tomorrow, and waited.
I couldn’t just sit in the corner of the house doing stocks, so I was called Sid and I was working as a courier loading and unloading.
“Ac. The f*ck will stick to your ears.”
The foreman was a person who could not speak without swearing from one to ten. yay f*ck! don’t you hurry up Mr. Pak! The words stuck in my ears and lingered.
‘F*ck. Bastards.’
The daily wage written in the recruitment notice was 160,000 won, but after taking off the car and the bag, the money that came into my hand was only 100,000 won. It was also a huge amount, and I received an additional 5,000 won.
Even if I ate the flea’s liver, I wouldn’t eat it all like this.
‘That should have been written in the notice. Bastards.’
I thought they were the bastards of a swindler, but I didn’t have the energy to argue because my shoes were so sore from the part-time job loading and unloading.
Still, when I looked at the stock account, I smiled.
The money invested today is 3.6 million won. It would be 4.2 million won tomorrow. I could earn as much as 600,000 won in one day, but I didn’t have to load and unload while feeling sick. On the contrary, I felt like I was going to lose my personality and lose my body.
‘Is there anything else?’
Even though the red line was him due to embezzlement, it was not that his credit score could not be restored. If I could just get my credit score back, I might be able to get a loan from the bank.
Exhausted, I sat down on a park bench and started browsing my phone. When I habitually entered the brokerage app, a new pop-up came to my mind.
[The 42nd Daebak Securities Practical Investment Competition]
“A real investment competition?”
I straightened my posture and sat down to check the details.
‘The prize money is different depending on the balance.’
The league was divided into over 100 million won, over 50 million won, over 10 million won, and over 1 million won. Since I currently have 3.6 million won in capital, I had no choice but to enter the lowest league.
‘The first prize is…’
100 million leagues was 100 million, 50 million leagues was 50 million, 10 million or more leagues was 20 million, and 1 million leagues was 3 million.
If I couldn’t increase my seed to 1,000, I had to drop out after only eating 3 million won.
‘Where’s the money coming from?’
The investment competition was held for one month starting tomorrow. There was no corner to raise money without borrowing. 17 million won flickered in front of my eyes.
My friends’ contact information on my phone caught my eye. It was a list of contacts with my history. Contacting them could have cut off the relationship, but they were not in a position to cover hot or cold meals.
‘Does my pride feed me?’
Ha-yeon’s face darkened. I closed my eyes and decided to call my friends.
[Hey. Come to your senses if you have been to prison.]
[Crazy bastard. Where is the money to lend you?]
[go away. You swindler bastard.]
[sorry. I also don’t have money to spend because I’m noticing my wife.]
[Jaegu. buy me food Do you have a lot of money from embezzlement?]
[Crazy bastard.]
[Jaegu. Wake.]
[Hey. Do you have any hidden money? This time, our company is trying to make a big investment.]
– clap
reject. reject. reject. reject. reject.
The ensuing baptism of refusal made me lose my mind.
[Hey. I heard that your wife married into a chaebol family. Why don’t you borrow it from your wife? oh i got divorced Ha ha ha ha ha good work]
“F*cking baby ···.”
From elementary school classmates to high school classmates. Not a single friend was willing to lend money. They only say that they swear, that it is difficult for them to make a living, and that the bottom line is that they cannot lend money.
“You lived in vain. Kim Jae-goo.”
Tears came out stingingly. Eventually, I had to contact my university friends. I contacted them in order of closeness, but they just kept getting rejected.
Then, with the feeling of grabbing at least a straw, I contacted Im Han-ul, who had started a business club together.
[hello.]
“Uh. Hanul. I’m Jaegu.”
[Jaegu? Jaegu Kim?]
“Uh. Do you remember me?”
[Kim Jae-gu, who went to bread?]
“Uh. That’s right. But that’s a false name.”
I couldn’t believe it, but I tried to make excuses.
[Don’t berate me. It’s a baby. Why did you call?]
“Please lend me some money…”
[money? What do you do with money?]
“I want to make some investments.”
[Crazy bastard. Kkkkkkk. Hey. Don’t do that, let’s have a meal.]
“rice?”
[Let’s hear what you’re talking about.]
“Uh. Yes. When shall we eat?”
I was dumbfounded when there was someone who wanted to meet me after being rejected over and over again. However, I couldn’t miss this opportunity to get rid of the horn.
[When is the time?]
“It’s always time for me! What time shall we go tomorrow?”
[I think it will be 7 o’clock in the evening. Do you want to come to Gangnam?]
***
It was awkward seeing friends after a long time. I wasn’t in a good mood because it was the clothes I wore when I was at the company that slapped me on the back of the head, but I took out a suit and put it on.
“What’s the matter?”
“I’m going to an interview.”
Are you going to borrow money? If this was an interview, it was an interview. I don’t know why Im Han-ul called me, but he probably wouldn’t have called me if he had no intention of lending me money.
“Are you looking for a job?”
My father didn’t show his expression, but there was concern in his eyes. I deliberately pretended to be brighter and smiled and straightened my shoulders.
“I have to.”
“Be good.”
How can I explain my father’s complex expression? He just smiled and nodded.
“Yes.”
It felt weird to get on the subway going to Gangnam around the time everyone else was leaving work. Fortunately, there were many people like me in suits.
‘It’s been a while since I’ve worn a suit, and it doesn’t suit me.’
It would be nice if my feet were numb, but every time our eyes met, I lowered my head for no reason.
[This station is Gangnam. This is Gangnam Station. The place to get off is on the left.]
When I waited at Exit 3 of Gwanghwamun, which I had promised with Im Han-ul, Im Han-ul, wearing a silver suit, approached me waving.
“Jaegujaegu. Kim Jaegu! How are you?”
Although he was older than when he was in college, he seemed more relaxed. I was relieved to see him waving his hand with a bright face.
“Uh. Hanul. How are you?”
“It’s nagging to say it twice. Let’s go to the office first.”
“The office? Didn’t you get off work?”
“Hey. You bastard. Not interested in anyone is still the same. I started a startup.”
“A startup?”
Come to think of it, the place I met Hanul Lim was in a startup club. It was a startup club in name only, but there was no one who actually succeeded in starting a business, so there was a memory that it was fuzzy.
Im Hanul suddenly put on a headlock.
“Damn it! Let’s go to the office and talk about the specifics while eating.”
***
“Is this your office?”
Even though it was a start-up, I expected an office that was a little more flashy, but Im Han-ul’s office only had four desks and a round sofa in a suitable studio.
There was a beam projector on the wall, and it was placed in a good position to see while sitting on the sofa.
He brewed coffee and handed it to me.
“Bastard. Do you know how expensive the monthly rent in Gangnam is?”
“That’s right.”
“I ordered chicken, is it okay?”
“I can’t eat without it.”
Upon accepting the coffee Hanul Im gave him, he strode over and sat down on the sofa.
“Sit down. Let’s talk money.”
The appearance of going straight to the main topic overlapped with his appearance in school days. A character who says everything. Nothing has changed.
Compared to him, even in such a desperate situation, I sat there watching others notice.
As soon as I sat down, Im Hanul opened his mouth.
“What Tuzande?”
“I’m trying to do stocks.”
“Stocks are a shortcut to dishonor.”
“They have really good sauces.”
He snorted and sipped his coffee.
“You. Didn’t you do the embezzlement as well?”
“I told you. It’s not me.”
“Since the old days, you’ve only been swung around.”
I thought it might look like that from his point of view with a pulpit.
“No matter who you are, don’t trust the guy who gives you the sauce. He’s a f*cking bastard.”
I am.
“Work instead and make money.”
“Is it easy to get a job?”
“I know it’s hard to get a job because of your criminal record. But our company also needs help.”
what is this all of a sudden?
I came to borrow money to see if the word that I would come for an interview in the morning became a seed, and then got a job.
“I’m in charge of the customer center, and the monthly salary is 200. If the company size grows, it will be raised. How is it?”
It’s an office job where you can check your phone all day, and there’s no reason to refuse when money comes out.
If you do two more courier loading and unloading, your back will go out.
But before that, there was just one thing to point out.
“Is it possible to advance payment?”
