The Youngest Son Of A Rich Family - Chapter 127
[127] Straight 2 after the jab
“I’ll give you what you want with the money.”
“If you don’t want to lose that money…”
“Be confident. Aren’t you the one who made Korea’s best film history? You will do well.”
My father’s brothers blow away tens of billions of dollars with unfounded confidence, but they are the only ones who earned more than the money they invested and grew the company.
If you gain confidence, you will do well in large-scale projects beyond small scale.
When my father, who hadn’t said anything for a while, spoke again, he seemed to have made up his mind.
“Then what can I do? Assuming it works, of course.”
“Have strength. And share that power with me.”
“strength? Aren’t you misunderstanding something? At least, it’s a movie. Maybe even make a drama. But what power do I, a mere producer and distributor, have?”
The future is not only about money or physical legal power. If there are many people who listen to their words, that person is a person of power.
The people’s mind is the heart of heaven, and those who move public opinion are the power. Its power comes from a large speaker. Fathers can hold enough cultural power.
It wasn’t long then, and my father was still young. It will be enough to support me 10 years from now.
“You don’t know the world, do you? It is a world that changes every day.”
My father looked at me blankly and quenched his thirst with a sip of beer.
“If you gave up the Sunyang Group, my family would live a very leisurely life. You run a decent investment company, and I make movies.”
“Do you want to give up?”
“no. It’s just like father’s wish. I want my son to live in peace. But I don’t have the slightest desire to force a life I don’t want.”
My father laughed and tapped me on the shoulder.
“If you ask carnivores to graze and live, you are dead. I was born as a ferocious beast, so I live by consuming others.”
“Then what about your father? Are you a herbivore?”
“Until now, I lived like a cow in the pasture. But now I have to live like a wild buffalo.”
“A wild water buffalo can beat most carnivores, right?”
“Shouldn’t you improve your constitution for the sake of your son? haha.”
Seeing my father drinking cold beer, I had a question.
Is the father who inherited the blood of a predator really a herbivore?
* * *
I pretended to be crazy and stayed at the Ritz-Carlton for a week.
I forgot how much money was broken and just cared about my parents having a good time. I don’t know when I’ll have a time like this again in the future. For this moment, I wanted to live like a herbivore grazing peacefully.
A week later, my father went back to Korea, stressing that there was only one thing to prepare. Interestingly, Sang-jun hyung also boarded the plane.
I was scratching my head wondering what was the point of spending foreign currency anyway.
I returned to New York, recovered my investment in dot-com companies, and chose a stable, long-term investment.
And I studied hard while listening to the explanation of another monster, derivatives, from the company’s experts.
In the meantime, time passed quickly.
President Bill Clinton issued a public apology for the sex scandal with Monica Lewinsky, and cheered while watching Pak’s LPGA match. I wanted to watch Park Chan-ho’s game, but it was not easy to find the time, so I had to be content with watching TV.
September 4th. On the historic day when the company Google was officially launched, he did not miss out on enjoying a huge party with the two geniuses.
I met Michael Dell when the bitter cold wind heralded the approaching winter.
Seeing Michael struggling in the PC market, which has now become a red ocean, looked amazing.
Isn’t he the one who will show the potential to stand firm for more than 20 years in the future?
I got on the plane to Korea by the time the tree appeared, indicating that it was the Christmas season soon.
The person who greeted me the most in Korea was neither my parents nor my grandfather, but my aunt Jin Seo-yoon.
When I entered the house, my father and mother were comforting my tearful aunt.
“Do you know how long I have been waiting for you? I couldn’t go to America right away because CEO Oh stopped me.”
Before I could unpack, my aunt sat me down and started complaining.
“What are you doing?”
My aunt told me about the fact that my grandfather had a super-high blood pressure by the time I left for New York.
In any case, one goal was achieved. Because Jin Yeongjun was kicked out to Geoje Island. I could feel my grandfather’s anger even without seeing it.
But what about divorce?
It is unclear whether he is trying to tame his uncle or if he is sincere.
No matter how ordinary a person is, are there any parents who urge their daughters to divorce?
“aunt. What can I do? Grandpa seems to be very angry…”
“If it’s you, you can coax your father out a little. Even if no one else knows, he listens to what you say.”
Even the father, who could not see it, opened his mouth.
“Sister, then what about the brother-in-law? Does your brother-in-law know about this?”
“I haven’t spoken yet. How do you bring up the divorce story?”
The aunt, who only looked cold, was hiding the appearance of an ordinary aunt.
I wouldn’t have been able to show this to anyone. The older brothers are not family, but rivals, and they point swords at each other.
It would have been different if the two of us met alone. He may have seemed to talk about problems and discuss them while maintaining composure, but the moment he saw his father and mother, a side of him that he had been hiding came out.
Because my parents are the only family, not competitors.
“What happened to the prosecution? Are you still building each other up?”
“no. I finished it at the level of transferring the position of the chief prosecutor in charge. Your grandfather organized that too.”
Seeing my aunt wipe away tears, my father winked at me.
I quietly followed my father into the garden.
“You don’t get involved.”
“yes?”
“You haven’t talked to Sehyun yet, have you? Sehyeon looked around and said that your uncle seems to be playing in the hands of the Daehyeon Group.”
“Are you Daehyeon?”
“okay. The Hanseong Ilbo said that it was Daehyun’s request to turn around quickly. Wouldn’t that be obvious?”
Your uncle’s new sponsor was the Daehyun Group?
“There’s no way your grandfather doesn’t know this. That’s why you made a superpower called divorce. Isn’t Daehyun the only competitor in the business world? This is a betrayal that can never be forgiven. The moment you talk about it, the anger is contagious to you. You know what I mean?”
Of course I understood what you meant.
“yes. I’ll keep my mouth shut and pretend I don’t know. Father, please comfort my aunt. I will go up to my room.”
I went back into the living room and told my broken aunt.
“aunt. I’ll see you tomorrow Talk to you again then.”
I have no intention of doing anything for my aunt or uncle.
However, the separation of department stores and hotels, which are quite good businesses, is something to think about.
Did Grandpa really think about giving his daughter these companies away? No need to think long.
It is not usually difficult to separate department stores and hotels, even if it is a golf course. To get out of the cobweb-like structure of governance, you have to buy huge amounts of stock.
My grandfather and his family own less than 3% of the shares. In order to separate affiliates, each affiliate has to buy back stocks, but it is not a person to spend money on such a place.
If she’s sincere, I’ll give it to my aunt whether or not she gets a divorce.
Lying on the bed in my room, I pondered. Shall I take this opportunity to put the department store and the hotel in my hands?
* * *
The aunt I met at the department store the next morning shows a arrogant appearance as if it was like that.
“Did I look ugly yesterday? I drank some alcohol and must have been drunk.”
“I like yesterday’s aunt?”
“Non-use…”
Auntie laughed softly. There was an awkward silence for a moment. From the look on my aunt’s face, it’s clear that she has something to say to me. I too have something to say. It’s a matter of timing who will take it out and how.
Of course, the aunt, who had a lot of regrets, cleared her throat a few times before opening her mouth.
“what do you think?”
“What?”
“Let’s stop babbling. No matter how much you try to deny it, it’s already too late. You will inherit part of the cruiser in place of your father. It just depends on how good you are.”
What is it?
Are you asking for help? Or are you holding hands?
“I don’t deny it. I already guessed.”
As I spoke with a slightly embarrassed expression, my aunt’s eyes twinkled.
“Anyway, this is an adult fight. No matter how much you inherit, your uncles won’t let you go. They will try to take it from you by any means necessary. If you’re lucky, they’ll buy it expensively.”
“What about your aunt?”
“me? I don’t have any yet. That’s why I’m worried.”
“Department store hotel condo golf course. Isn’t this small enough?”
My aunt frowned.
“Are you asking me to divorce you?”
“The choice is up to the aunt. Are you a husband? is it a purebred But I don’t think Aunt is the kind of person who would give up Sunyang because of her husband.”
“You can make quick choices based on your thoughts.”
“yes? What do you mean…?”
“Why don’t we join forces to keep what you have and what I will have, or even bigger?”
You are in a hurry.
The appearance of a grandfather sending his eldest grandson into exile and throwing away his son-in-law must have been reflected as a quick-footed figure trying to decide on a successor. My aunt is also under pressure to secure her territory before it is too late.
“What if we join forces? Be specific.”
When I showed interest, my aunt quickly sat down beside me.
“Half of everything we will ever have. Let’s share it like that. I will gather people who will be our strength. Half of the Sunyang Group’s power is held by executives, including presidents of affiliates. There is no ruler without a subject. You know well?”
I showed a thoughtful look for a while. And he slowly opened his mouth.
“First, take care of what Grandpa gives you. Don’t try to get a big one at once. Metallurgical metallurgy. That is the right order.”
The aunt’s face contorted.
“Are you asking for a divorce? now?”
“My aunt has to hold the hilt. I can’t do anything if I’m being dragged around like this.”
“How does a divorce become a hilt?”
“It’s not a divorce, it’s a divorce paper. Hand out the divorce papers to your uncle. Are you going to lie flat at your feet right now? As a politician, being Sun-yang’s son-in-law is a weakness, but please help me realize that I am nothing without Sun-yang.”
The aunt blinked and thought about it, then let out a low exclamation.
“ah! I see Divorce papers become a sword hilt that both sides can use.”
Every woman with a pretty head. When you say one, you recognize two.
“yes. With that one document, you can take care of department stores, hotels, condos, golf courses, and even the mayor of Seoul.”
My aunt looked at me with sparkling eyes and said.
“How are you so smart? This is why your father cares for you terribly.”
I laughed bitterly at my aunt’s praise.
“Having a good head won’t help much.”
“What do you mean? Are you not helping?”
“Has a person with extraordinary hair ever become a king? I can only be the right hand of the emperor. There was Gongmyeong next to Emperor Zhang Liangchok next to Han Gojo, and there was Jeong Do-jeon to Lee Seong-gye. After all, I’m just someone’s right-hand man.”
My aunt is quick enough to understand the hidden meaning of my words.
