“uh? Brother!”
It was early morning. She found Cheol-woo, who had just left for school after eating and was parking his car at the back of the building.
Seeing my younger brother running to me with a warm smile, I thought, ‘This guy is trying to get Lupine for pocket money.’ It was a sound that could only be heard at such a time when such a scoundrel sounded.
“How can you come in just like this? Huh!”
“I was contemplating whether or not to go to the 3rd round with my friends today.”
“Third, do you drink?”
“Hey, what are you talking about? Movie theaters, instant tteokbokki, coin karaoke. You can get an estimate just by looking at it.”
My younger brother said, ‘What is this kind of nonsense?’ I glanced at him with a smirk. No matter how close he was by blood, he could not easily overcome the generation gap.
“That would be enough for your pocket money…?”
“One of them is that I want to shoot. That’s how my grades go up!”
“Why, do you want to cheat?”
“What kind of talk? Borrow notes and ask them to draw out some expected problem books. Anyway, school life isn’t as easy as it used to be. Everything is money, money!”
Talking about her difficult schooling, she rubbed her thumb and forefinger. It was a sign that she should give her money quickly for her brother’s academic achievement.
“Ji-eun! You’ve grown big now too. Now you have to take care of your life.”
“Because I haven’t cut everything yet! Do you think I will be happy with only 160 cm?”
“Isn’t that what you mean?”
“If you don’t do this, you can blow everything up on Mom and Dad. Hey, Mr. Jang! Let’s end it on a good note. Huh!”
“Huh! What’s going to happen when this is really big… Ttttttttt!”
The author smiled like Geumryong. Although she was outrageous, she took the money out of her wallet once and was long to give it a go.
“Anything will happen. Hogu, no, I have a rich brother like this, so what are you worried about? ㅤ!”
“Yes, I wish you! I have such a hogu older brother…”
Ji-eun pretended to spit on her finger while counting the stiff bills. With a satisfied expression on whether the amount was as much as he wanted, he put it into his arms.
It looked like a pet mouse. He is fascinated by his cute appearance, but when you get to know him, it’s like gnawing at his wallet from the bottom. I was wondering what to do with this strange creature.
“···hello!”
Then a loud voice came from behind them. I took off my clingy little brother and turned around to see the men in uniforms in tteokbokki colored uniforms lined up like gangsters.
“What happened to this in the morning?”
“We came out to exercise together. I’m going to run to the top of the mountain above you.”
Manho answered on behalf of the group. Min-seok was eating and drinking at the site these days.
“But why are there so many, the last time I saw there were about three or four people?”
“As a few more people came in, everyone said they would follow along, so this is what happened. The rooms are now full, so I signed up for the rooms right across the street.”
Just looking at it, there were more than a dozen people. If all the rooms in the building were full, it meant that most of the tteokbokki had moved to this place.
“Wow! what do you know And man-ho, you go to see me before you go to work.”
“yes! Okay. Then let’s go…”
As Manho took the lead, the tteokbokki all bowed their heads and climbed up the hillside leading to the mountain. There was a steep trail leading to the top of a small mountain a little uphill from the road.
There was a small park next to it, and there were various outdoor exercise equipment in it. If you go up the mountain to warm up, then go down and do moderate strength training, you will be able to maintain the stamina you raised at camp to a certain extent.
“Wow! It’s not an army…”
“Have you seen that many times?”
“yes! After that, they always eat breakfast at our restaurant. Thanks to her, the sales of the store have increased a lot, and my mom likes it a lot.”
“Well then, there’s nothing wrong with that.”
“But eating breakfast and going to work has become a specialty here these days, isn’t it?”
“Master, how did you do it?”
“I don’t know! Find it by your brother. I’ll figure this out See you later! Go early a little early…”
The author ran down the hill like a horse. Soyeon’s voice was heard as an auditory hallucination, saying, ‘What are you going to do if you fall and even reach your knees?’
Cheol-woo went home and had breakfast a little late. He then took a shower and changed his clothes before he headed to the bakery.
After exercising, the tteokbokki went back to their rooms after having breakfast at the bakery. And after a while, Cheol-woo, who was drinking coffee and waiting for the full moon, opened the eyes of the local specialty that the author spoke of.
As the tteokbokki changed into suits stood on the side of the road, luxury cars entered the alley one after another. Like the red carpet event of a famous film festival, tteokbokki sat in the back seat of the car one after another and passed through the alleyways.
pooh!
Cheol-woo, who was drinking coffee, saw the scene and spouted the coffee in his mouth. There was a VIP event every morning in front of the one-room village, so it could be called a specialty.
“Hey, those bastards are real…!”
Whoops, whoops!
He grumbled as he wiped the squirted coffee. I was afraid that someone wasn’t the gold spoon of a chaebol, so I did it like that even if I gave a tee.
“Have you been waiting long?”
“No, I just came. But is it like that every morning?”
Cheol-woo looked at Man-ho, who was running in haste, and asked. He used to wear an employee uniform, but now he is wearing a high-quality suit and looking tall.
Jae-young and his wife were very proud of his changed appearance. There was not a single trace of the old face, which was completely ill-colored, with a poor body.
“I have no choice but to go to work early and go straight to work. I have to review yesterday’s report at work.”
“It’s not that I don’t know the situation, but it’s still a bit annoying. It’s like cars lined up in a narrow alley…”
“Then I’ll tell you to get on the main road over there. That way, cars won’t block the road.”
“Yeah, I think that would be enough.”
One word from Cheol-Woo changed the scenery of the alley at work. The event that used to be held in a small alley is now taking place on the main road with more people watching.
“Is your company doing well?”
“We have a strong foundation, so there are not many business ups and downs. It was just that I had a problem. Huh!”
“Do you have any spare time to invest in new construction?”
“Thanks to the work my brother gave me, I almost go back to the grass. But, why is that…?”
Manho looked at him with a curious expression. Geum-dong Construction, which was run by Manho’s father, was a single company, but it was as large as a large corporation.
It encompassed all projects related to construction as long as they had walked through only one well. From overseas construction to high-end apartments in Korea, it was a construction company with expertise and scale that no one could ignore when it came to construction.
“Pharaoh construction is starting again. Like the Incheon shopping mall, I thought the construction period would be extended a bit…”
“Isn’t that also what Kangho Construction was in charge of?”
“Kangho Construction is currently busy with Incheon shopping mall construction. Our goal is to complete it before the pharaoh reopens.”
“Hey, is that big thing on Pharaoh’s opening day? How many times more would the construction cost be broken?”
“For now, I’m pushing the abacus over. Thanks to that, if my hands were not enough, it was not enough, and there was nothing left. So, I want to entrust some work to your company.”
“···Hmm!”
Manho scratched his chin and fell into thought. Judging from a rough estimate, it was a project that could not be done.
“When it comes to remodeling, I don’t think there will be anything particularly difficult. Unless the axis of the building was damaged in the last fire…”
“It’s fine. There was a lot of talk about it in the media, but in fact, the building that wasn’t burned down is still open for business. However, they are not reopening because they are planning to completely switch to accommodations and casinos. Huh!”
“Then, wouldn’t it be difficult to entrust it to someone other than our company?”
“I’m going to put up a temporary building first. They bring in foreign gamblers there, and they quietly remodel a burned-out place right next door.”
“Yes? No, why…”
Man-ho, who heard about Cheol-woo’s plan, asked in amazement. It’s not even a local arcade, it’s the first time I’ve heard of a casino opening in a temporary building.
“lets think. There are places where you can only gamble while feeding and putting them to sleep. But it’s a gigantic temporary building made out of panels or something. Of course, there are no windows, and it is an enclosed space that does not know the passing of time. Of course, we will control it so that it is neither too cold nor too hot. Wouldn’t you like to gamble there?”
“If it were me, of course… Call! After all, the type of machine is the most important. It’s not like I’m gambling by looking at the interior…”
When it comes to gambling, not a lot of money could be left out. Even if I ran away, would I have gone to LA and Las Vegas…?
“right? So, I’m going to start with building a temporary building and do it slowly. After all, the side with the lodgings and restaurants is fine. Huh!”
“Still, that’s a little…! It seems like he is ignoring our gamblers too much.”
I quit now, but love for gambling, or pride, still remained. It was considered the best game to stimulate the desire to win if the desire to make a lot of money in one shot was abandoned.
“Girl, what is ignorance? evaluating it as it is. It’s up to the adults to choose what they like. I just want to use their desires to do business.”
“Still, there are a lot of large casinos here and there in East Asia alone, so I wouldn’t bother coming to such a crappy place.”
“Coming flight and boat are free, plus room and board are free…?”
“Then let’s go!”
“right?”
“But then, is the calculation correct?”
“I don’t know about other places, but I think Korea is possible. Transportation is all you need to pay for a one-way flight on a low-cost airline, and a couple of baya casino boats will float. It’s a place to stay and eat, it’s overflowing with the pharaohs…”
“…it would be worth a try! As someone who has been addicted to gambling for many years, I have a strong feeling that this will work.”
As he recalled the picture he was drawing in his head, he was excited without realizing it. If there was such a place, he was like heaven to himself in the past.
“Not really, to be honest, it doesn’t matter if I fail.”
“Are you saying it doesn’t cost money?”
“No, it’s my money. Even if it is, it is not even a few pennies…”
“It would be. Individuals have to collect as much as possible to reach 10 billion units. Still, that’s not a small amount of money.”
“…well, let’s do that.”
Cheol-woo decided to just cover up Man-ho’s misunderstanding. It was even weirder when he said that there were two more ‘0’s than he thought.
In fact, even if the pharaoh fell, there were buildings and land that were handed over at a bargain price. Even if you put it on, there was absolutely nothing to lose if you just endure it.
“Leave it to me. I’ll make it so you’ll like it.”
“Yeah, you should be able to do that. Huh!”
Manho tapped his chest and spoke confidently. Cheol-woo smiled, stroking his head as if he was peculiar.
If you don’t like it, you can do it again. If you insist on doing it, it’s enough to wash it a few times.
Cheol-woo had a plan.
Cheol-woo, who made the verbal contract first, went to work happily. However, with one phone call from Hwaryeong, his leisure time disappeared.
“babe! The cubs began to move. Just look at our department store chart!”
Cheol-woo immediately turned on the monitor. As the market started, the stock price of Daeyoung Department Store turned into a long Jangdaeeumbong.
