106. Gapjil
“Yoon Ho-young?”
“yes. you’re right.”
Jo Nam-shik was silent for a moment.
“Nice to meet you. I am Jo Nam-sik, the president of Myeongseong Electronics. Haven’t we met somewhere?”
“Are we? I’m not sure?”
“Hmm… I’m sure I’ve seen it somewhere…”
Hoyoung shrugged and said.
“sorry. I really don’t know. I’m definitely new.”
“I guess I was mistaken. Excuse me in the first meeting.”
“no. You may have been confused.”
Hoyoung smiled kindly and sat down naturally.
“Have you eaten?”
“yes. Don’t worry, I ate. Would you like me to have a cup of tea and talk?”
Jo Nam-sik called the waiter and ordered another cup of tea.
“yes. First of all, I admire the foresight of investing in the Anam industry one step ahead. How did you find out about Anam Industries?”
“I was lucky.”
“Haha, is that the whole secret?”
“It’s embarrassing, but it’s true. I was looking for a company that had a solid foundation in Korea and was not inferior in technology, but would accept investment. Of course, I also offered to invest in Myeongseong Electronics, but I didn’t even get an answer.”
“Because our first principle is not to use external funds, but to use our own funds…”
“Should we stop talking about nonsense here and talk about the main topic?”
When Hoyoung bluntly interrupted Jo Namshik, he felt a little stunned inside.
But he is already a professional businessman.
It was something I had been learning since I was little to not show my emotions at this level.
“ha ha ha! I’ve been nagging for a long time. sorry. Did you hear the outline?”
“Well, I’ve heard this and that, but to sum it up in one word, sell my stake in Anam Industries for 500 billion won. Isn’t that what you mean?”
Jo Nam-sik didn’t like Ho-young, who kept spitting out words.
But what I regret now is Jo Nam-shik.
He said to Hoyoung with a smile still on his face.
“Exactly. As far as I know, the current stock price of Anam Industries is a little over 300 billion won. After all, you’re buying it for about five times the market price.”
“Five times… It sounds good, but it’s a suggestion I don’t like.”
“I beg your pardon?”
“Don’t try to be dazzled by saying how many times or what, and talk with numbers. To sum it up, isn’t it only profiting 100 billion won from the amount I invested?”
“Only 100 billion?”
Jo Nam-sik was dumbfounded that he was angry.
Hoyoung spoke naturally.
“When Gaia Investment invested in Anam Industrial, it was the time when Anam Industrial was just starting research on 8-inch wafers. At that time, did you even care about the Anam industry? But now that 8-inch wafers are completed, you want to take over? Do you think I invested in Anam only to earn a profit of 100 billion won?”
Nam-sik Cho even sounded absurd to Ho-yeong.
“Did you say it was only 100 billion?”
“That’s right.”
The son of a chaebol family.
Even Jo Nam-sik, who is considered one of the most influential sons in the succession race, was not a small amount of money.
However, Hoyoung did not change his expression and talked about 100 billion won.
Jo Nam-sik thought for a moment that Ho-yeong was bluffing, but soon put his thoughts away.
The confidence that came out of Hoyoung’s expression made it possible to know that he was not just bluffing.
“Then how much money do you want?”
“I want 300 billion.”
“how much?”
“You keep asking me again and again. Are you deaf?”
Hoyoung grinned at Jo Nam-shik, who looked flustered.
Jo Nam-sik, even though he had been heated by Ho-yeong’s attitude since earlier, couldn’t find the words to respond to Ho-yeong’s words, so he couldn’t get angry properly.
“Let me give you a moment to think. Vice President?”
“Yes Yes.”
“Could you talk outside with me for a moment? I just wanted to clear the seat for a while.”
“All right.”
“President Namsik Cho? I will go out for a while.”
“……”
Ho-young left Jo Nam-shik, who didn’t bother to answer, and left the dining room with Park Byeong-jin.
Park Byung-jin, who had come to a place where their voices would not flow to Jo Nam-sik, looked around and said to Ho-yeong.
“Brother! What is this doing?”
“What?”
“No, are you crazy? Shouldn’t I have told you who that person was? The president of Myeongseong Electronics.”
Unlike Park Byung-jin, who seemed anxious about something, Ho-yeong had a relaxed expression.
“Brother, calm down.”
“Do you look calm now? I don’t know if you know it, but I, Jo Nam-sik, let alone the president of Myeongseong Electronics, is the son of the chairman of Korea’s top conglomerate group! As long as we live in the Republic of Korea, we are inseparable from reputation, directly or indirectly, in any way, so how did we know that retaliation would come?”
Ho-young understood Park Byung-jin’s attitude, but at the same time was bitter.
While acknowledging that the fame group’s influence is deeply rooted in Korea, he thought it was evidence of the gap between himself and fame.
“Do not worry. There will be no retaliation.”
“How can you be sure of that?”
“Trust me a little more. When have I ever been wrong?”
“No, no.”
“It will definitely be the case this time too.”
Park Byung-jin didn’t trust Ho-young, but decided to trust him.
“Well, it seems that enough time has passed. Shall we go back?”
“Yeah, I have no idea what that is. Anyway, let’s go in.”
Hoyoung went back to the room where Jo Namshik was with Park Byungjin.
In the room, Jo Nam-sik was sitting just as he had been sitting a moment ago.
“Have you thought about it?”
Jo Nam-sik smiled leisurely and glared at Ho-young as he entered.
“yes. I thought enough. If it’s 300 billion won, does that mean you have to pay 700 billion won to buy a stake in Gaia Investment?”
“That’s right.”
“It sounds tough.”
“okay?”
“Then, the amount to be paid to Anam Industries is 1.2 trillion won. It is beyond what I can afford to pay.”
Hoyeong laughed and jumped up from her seat.
“All right. Then it seems that there is nothing more to say.”
“what?”
Hoyeong took out a business card from her bosom and placed it on top of the table where Jo Namshik was sitting.
“If you would like to speak with me further, please contact me here. And I don’t care how much the current owner’s family owns in Anam Industries. Enough then.”
Then, without delay, he turned around and left the room.
“Now, wait a minute.”
Rather, it was Park Byung-jin who was taken aback by the situation.
He followed Ho-yeong outside and caught him.
“Are you really going this way?”
“yes. Please tune in for me today.”
“Where is the right place? I don’t even know what to do now.”
Hoyoung said with a kind smile.
“Right now, that is enough. You can go and act like you don’t know anything about it.”
“You really don’t know anything?”
“So that’s enough.”
Hoyoung patted Park Byungjin on the shoulder and turned around and left the restaurant.
Park Byeong-jin was the only one standing at the entrance of the restaurant, unable to hide his absurd expression.
.
That night.
Park Byung-jin calls Ho-yeong with a mixture of complaints.
– Do you know how uncomfortable I was today?
“I’m sorry. What happened after I went back?”
– Don’t talk. After that, we couldn’t say a word about our share, and we just broke up after drinking some tea in silence.
“As expected.”
– What the hell is the reason for this today? I thought you weren’t the type to act thoughtlessly, so I gave it to you, but is this to our advantage?
“sure. I was trying to teach Jo Nam-sik the most important thing.”
– The most important thing?
“Perhaps Jo Nam-sik would have known who A was from this meeting.”
The reason why Hoyoung did this in his first meeting with Jo Nam-sik was to lead the discussion in an advantageous position in future consultations with Jo Nam-sik.
And as Hoyeong herself, it was to confirm one thing.
‘Even in front of Jo Nam-shik, I was not intimidated, nor was I engulfed in anger. Fortunately, mind control is possible.’
The thing Hoyeong was most worried about before meeting Jo Nam-sik was that he might lose his composure after seeing Jo Nam-sik.
In fact, when I briefly passed Namsik Jo in Paris four years ago, I was embarrassed by the fact that I saw him for a moment, so I couldn’t help but worry because I hadn’t been able to do anything for a while.
But not too long ago, he had a meeting that convinced him that he would never be intimidated by Jo Nam-shik.
‘This is how meeting Bill Gates is helpful.’
Ho-young recalled meeting Bill Gates not long ago and being suppressed by his name and unable to think normally.
I’ve shaken it all off now, and I’m sure that if I met Bill Gates again, I wouldn’t repeat that stupid act, but the charisma that Bill Gates showed back then was great for Ho-young.
The later Jo Nam-sik will actually have a great charisma, but the current Jo Nam-sik, who is still young, does not have such charisma to shake Ho-yeong.
“Anyway, brother. Are you well prepared for everything I said?”
– okay. I am properly prepared. You don’t have to worry.
“yes. I will believe you.”
Hoyoung hung up and called someone else right away.
The call this time was an international call.
After a long signal, Eric from America answered the phone.
“Eric. It must be early in the morning that time, sorry for calling.”
-Haam- No. It’s time to wake up anyway. I jog every morning these days.
“Anyway, I’m sorry.”
– no. What did you call about?
“How are things going with the stock purchase you requested last time?”
– I will probably achieve the goal you said during today.
“okay? Thank you very much for your hard work.”
– Now that you’re talking, can I ask you a question?
“As much as you like.”
– I understand that a large amount of money has already flowed into this company, but is there any other reason to buy stocks that are released on the market at such a high price?
Hoyeong laughed at Eric’s question.
“Wait a few days and you will understand why I asked you this. Anyway, thank you very much for being successful.”
Hoyoung happily hung up the phone with Eric.
“Everything fits perfectly. And now all that remains is to wait for the call.”
Brilliant-
And, like a lie, then Hoyoung’s phone rang.
Hoyeong picked up the receiver with a throbbing heart.
“This is Yun Ho-young.”
– hello? You’re right, Hoyoung Yoon. That’s me. Jo Nam-sik.
“Ah, you are the CEO, Namsik Cho. What did you call for?”
– I think we still have something to talk about. Why don’t you catch me sometime soon?
“All right.”
It was Jo Nam-sik who called Ho-yeong.
You will never be able to see Jo Nam-sik beyond the receiver, but now Ho-young is smiling deeper and more joyful than ever.
