147: One glance and see (4)
After talking with Hwaryeong, Cheol-woo visited Min-seok. He stayed in his office until the negotiations between Chairman Kang and Cheol-woo were over.
“You are waiting. You can just go in.”
In front of Minseok’s office was a small secretary’s office. As he entered the secretary’s office without knocking, a female secretary smiled and pointed inside.
I knew I was waiting, but I didn’t have to knock. When I opened the door, I saw Minseok reading something on the desk.
“ah! Manager Jang… Hmmm, come in this way.”
Since the door hadn’t closed yet, Minseok greeted him. He closed the door quietly without saying a word.
“How is it?”
“I think Daeyoung decided to take the same boat. It seems like a masterpiece that the two of us will share the risk and lose…”
When the door closed, the two returned to their original form. Cheol-woo, who sat on the sofa in front of the desk, put his feet on the table.
Minseok approached him. His desk and office walls were all covered with blueprints.
Just looking at it, it was a blueprint for the Pharaoh Hotel. He already knew what choice Cheol-woo would make.
“Would you like some tea?”
“done! What a hassle… I’m going to go see your dad after we’ve made arrangements with you. There’s nothing you can do with what you’ve decided to do, right?”
“Then did you decide to do it? Chairman, you must not be in the company right now…”
Min-seok asked as he sat across from Cheol-woo. He had previously declared that he would abide by Chul-woo’s decision.
“I think you already knew that, too?”
“ah! I was just trying to take a look at it beforehand. Behind me, there is a blueprint for the Incheon Complex Shopping Mall…”
Cheol-woo said while pointing his chin around Min-seok’s desk. Min-seok scratched his head and made excuses as he was embarrassed by his words.
Now I feel like a construction company boss. The act of trying to picture the construction itself, not the numbers on the paperwork, was extraordinary.
Suddenly, I remembered Chairman Kang’s words that he was informed of Minseok’s movements every morning. Even if not that much, Cheol-woo was also very happy with his changed attitude.
“Yeah, as you said, I decided to leave this to you! When I think about it, no matter how I avoid it this time, it will eventually come back to us. As for the size of the business, the only thing that can handle the Pharaoh Hotel case in Korea right now is the consortium of Kangho and Daeyoung. Time is money, and there’s no way they’re going to leave it alone.”
“I heard it and it is. The next presidential election is coming up in a few years, and there is no way to wait for those who are busy on their way to wash their hands and lose their senses. Politicians will, too.”
“Knowing that, the two youngsters must have been willing to do it. Hwaryeong said that he would benefit from other places as a condition of taking over the hotel.”
“There are plenty of possible scenarios. My hyungs know that too, so they must be silent. If it wasn’t for that, the road would have gone wild, asking what to trust the youngest to entrust such a big business. Huh!”
Minseok smiled bitterly. Even by bloodline, there was no one in the family to lean on.
“Then I know you agree. Let’s meet Hwaryeong and make a detailed plan.”
“Is there anything I can agree on? Just do something. At least I will try not to get in the way.”
“Now, the time for you to be foolish is over. keep running like this It seems like your dad is really interested in you too…”
These were words given by Cheol-woo as a sign of praise. But Minseok drew a line with a determined face.
“I will no longer have such vague expectations. If I want something, I have to eat it with my own hands. Even if your abilities may not be enough, you won’t be able to keep your mouth open while wishing for a good luck. ahead…”
“Yeah, do whatever you want! It’s me, I’m just going to work under you and play around. Huh!”
Cheol-woo made a light joke and took his foot off the table. Now that the consensus was reached, it was time to go see the old raccoon dog.
“Chairman, you won’t be at the company right now.”
“Then where are you?”
“I don’t even know about that. A meeting of the executives was scheduled earlier, but the president said there was something else, so it was canceled.”
“okay. I’ll find out on my own…”
“What is the way?”
“There is such a thing. Don’t tell too much. Huh!”
Cheol-woo smiled at Min-seok’s question and avoided answering. The venture’s shopping list in the US also included a company that makes tiny beacons.
After visiting the company, Cheol-woo fell in love with the technology and signed an investment contract on the spot. He’s even received a few micro-signals as a souvenir.
It was a product that had not yet been commercialized, but it was perfect for warriors to use. I put it under Chairman Kang’s car. This was to prevent a raccoon-like squirrel from diving into something.
A restaurant in a certain hotel in Gangnam.
In the VIP room, two old men were seated facing the table. There was no one in the room except for two people sipping tea.
“Hey, Chairman Cha! Don’t even think about taking him away. I’ll never see him go to work at Daeyoung until dirt gets in my eyes.”
“Then we can wait a little bit. Even if you live, you want to live a few more years… haha!”
“There is nothing a child of such a young bastard can’t say to you.”
“Why is this? Are you acting like a superior with only two years difference? After all, I was born early too…”
The two old men were arguing and wrestling. If it weren’t for the colorful interior decoration, it was an atmosphere that would be believed to be a neighborhood senior citizen’s house.
“therefore···. Do you think that manager Jang will take over the work?”
“Well, that must be my heart. No matter how hard I drugged him, he wouldn’t even lift an eye. Even when he met me as the president, he raised his head stiffly, but he was very bubbly. Two days!”
“You have to have that kind of guts to do big things. These days, things are not at all ambitious. Ttttttttt!”
The two were the presidents of Kangho and Daeyoung Group. Two people, who are known to be inseparable in the world, were sitting face to face at a table and chatting.
There were many places where the business areas overlap, so the two groups often fought over bidding. Ten years ago, Kang-ho’s group unilaterally failed to win an order, and the relationship between the two suddenly fell apart.
After a secret meeting between businessmen, the chairman of the Daeyoung group wanted to meet secretly. The two groups had no choice but to meet because government departments had been putting pressure on them to want the two groups to entrust the Pharaoh Hotel together.
“What about the government? If we take over the pharaoh on the terms they want, we’ll run a huge deficit for at least 10 years…”
“I said that I would preserve that amount of profit elsewhere, but it is a ballot mark that will disappear when the government changes anyway. They want compensation right now, but everyone is expressing disapproval and saving themselves…”
“Huh! I wondered if I was living without the government’s attention now…”
“The years have not passed yet! There are things politicians and bureaucrats have seen and learned that I can’t give them my habit, so will they easily give up their vested interests?”
“What if we say we can’t take over Pharaoh…?”
“They threatened to put all of their children in jail on charges of breach of trust and embezzlement. By the way, he said he would come back to the tax evasion allegations against you…”
Chairman Cha lifted his glass and shook his head, smiling bitterly. Even when the prosecution and the media flew around, they were able to endure saying that they were themselves.
But those immature bastards were sure to play with their jokes. They were old, but they had lived their whole lives without knowing that they were going through hardships.
He is the president of the company, and he helps out, but it was clear that if he was threatened and locked up in the interrogation room of the prosecution, he would confide in the facts that were not there. The government and political circles still had the practice of exposing the chaebol as an annual event.
Although bureaucrats and judges at their desks could buy as much money as they wanted, old politicians still held the reins of the chaebols and shook them.
“Damn, what a child. So can I comfortably close my eyes?”
“I put all my attention on the group, even the attention I had for my children, so I can’t help but get results like this…. Now, who are you going to blame?”
The two old men stared at each other without a word. Although the company inherited from his father was placed on a global scale, it still looked precarious in their eyes.
Even though they had established such a large enterprise in a country with no resources and no land to sell, their roots were still not strong. Besides, the bigger the size, the more people drooling and aiming.
“That guy is the chief of the department…. Is it really reliable?”
“I don’t know either. Because he’s like a goblin… I thought she was just such a maid, but now it’s impossible to measure it even with my little one!”
“Isn’t it because I’m old and presbyopia?”
“Yeah! My eyes are still fine. You read the newspaper without a magnifying glass.”
He was an inspirational man he didn’t like, but Chairman Kang was recognized by others as much as he could see people. Then, he suggested to Chairman Cha, who was worried about the pharaoh case, that he should leave this case to a guy named Jang.
He, too, was keeping an eye on Cheol-woo. Because he knew that he was close to Hwaryeong.
She was a daughter who was not attracted to anyone for her ability alone. She’s so good that her tycoon’s bastards shun her as much as the problem.
She was very surprised and delighted when she heard that she had a man, who had never shown interest in men while resenting her father, Chairman Cha. What was even more surprising to her was that she had her neck tied to her man on her side.
‘Did I say Jang Cheol-woo…?’
I thought I’d have to meet him someday. Without knowing this filthy temperament in front of me.
Chairman Cha finished drinking the remaining tea and rolled his eyes. The idea of his succession was faltering little by little.
“I know you don’t know what’s inside you. joy! Let’s see where…”
Chairman Kang got into the car and internally grinded his teeth. He was face to face in terms of risk sharing, but Chairman Cha was never a reliable guy.
He was the one who constantly rolled his eyes even when he was in front of him. He was a great man whom he did not want to work with again once the current crisis was resolved.
“Chairman, where are we going to take you?”
“…it’s late, let’s go home!”
Both met secretly without a chief of staff. Chairman Kang, who instructed the driver, leaned his back on the soft seat and closed his eyes.
Queek! Rumble!
The car trying to get out of the hotel came to a sudden stop. Chairman Kang opened his eyes in surprise and saw a car blocking their way.
People got out of the security vehicle behind them. Chairman Kang recognized the opponent and sent them back by pressing the communicator button installed in the car.
smart! Wow!
A person from the other vehicle knocked lightly on the glass door of the rear seat of the car in which Chairman Kang was riding. it was iron
Chairman Kang ordered the window to be lowered. When the glass on the rear door of the car went down, Cheol-woo put his face in and said.
“I would like to have an interview with you.”
“Did you come all the way here just to say that?”
“Because I hate being sarcastic. I hate being interrupted by such things… Tomorrow is a holiday, so I’m going to finish it today.”
Cheol-woo said with a shriveled smile. Chairman Kang stared at him for a moment, then drove the driver out and brought him into the car.
