The Youngest Son Of A Rich Family - Chapter 147
[147] Beginning of the new millennium 1
“And the position of the chairman of this company is not an imperial chairman who is neither in the organization nor in the system like other chaebol heads. I will give you the right to appoint the CEO of each department store, large hotel discount store, and the authority to present the overall business direction.”
“So, does that mean that Miracle will only be involved in appointing the president?”
“That’s right. As I said, it is a complete separation of ownership and management.”
The bosses exchanged glances with each other and then began to open their mouths one after another.
“Before that, I think we need to clarify our relationship with Vice Chairman Jin Seo-yoon.”
“That’s right. In fact, our relationship with him is very strained because of what happened last time.”
The unity to testify when the responsibility is handed over to the CEO was obviously tantamount to a protest to the aunt. maybe you’re grinding your teeth.
“Definitely the vice-president. Until the appointment of the president, we have to follow his instructions.”
“You don’t have to follow me.”
As I spoke with a slight smile, their eyes focused on me.
“Treat Vice Chairman Jin Seo-yoon with an open mind. What he means is that you can take only what you need out of the opinions and dictates and leave the rest out.”
“Then there must be a lot of things to bump into?”
“I will always arrange traffic. Again, let’s work together with an open mind.”
I looked around at the people I was going to work with and didn’t forget my last request.
“If you think I am from the Sunyang Group, you are making a big mistake. If it helps our distribution group in the slightest, we will not hesitate to do something that will cause enormous damage to the Sunyang Group. Never forget that I am a person of Miracle, not a person of pure sheep.”
Will they be able to completely sever their ties with the Sunyang Group?

“This bastard is starting to show his claws. Seoyoon said that this stupid bitch blew it all up with stocks.”
“I heard it too. Miracle took it more easily because my father packed it so it was easy to put in his pocket. It wouldn’t have been so easy if the governance structure had been complicated.”
“The management support headquarters informed me. He said he paid back all the money he borrowed from our group. Now, it should be seen that Seoyoon’s thing has completely fallen off.”
Unlike Jin Young-ki, who seemed nervous, Vibrator had a calm expression as if it was nothing.
“Thanks to you, I filled up a lot of the lack of funds, so that’s okay.”
“hey! Are you okay?”
Jin Young-gi shouted at his unconcerned younger brother.
“Department store hotel mart condo golf course. It’s a business where you can put up a building and buy land. Need a skill Need a machine? real estate and people. That’s all. What are you sorry about?”
“What are you talking about? that is?”
“My brother and I invest, buy real estate, put up a hotel, put the name Sunyang on, and that’s it. person? That’s all you need to do is bring all the people under Seoyoon.”
Vibrator’s idea was that you only need to start one. Whether it’s a hotel or a department store, if you shake a company that started with one and took all the talented people and moved to Miracle, it will collapse without a big fight.
Vibrator’s idea is that the moment the power given by the name Sunyang makes it impossible to use it, it raises a white flag on its own.
“Oh, do you see Oh Se-hyeon often because of the acquisition of Woosung Marine & Shipbuilding? Have you talked about this case?”
“So that’s what I’m saying. Oh Se-hyeon is soaked in fantasy right now.”
“What fantasy?”
“The fantasy of being able to become the head of a chaebol. Miracle’s funds depend on the United States, and the Americans completely trust Oh Se-hyun, who bought the company without missing the opportunity of the IMF. That means American investors won’t say anything even if you play gun.”
“You’re a crazy bastard.”
“no. He has the ability to make dreams come true.”
“what?”
The feeling of uneasiness that had settled heavily in a corner of Jin Young-gi’s heart raised his head at his younger brother’s words.
“Did you forget? A 17% stake in the group owned by Sunyang Motor? What if Do-joon takes over the financial part of Sunyang and exchanges the 17% stake in Sunyang Motor for a few units with Sunyang affiliates? Even if you can’t do it, you’ll be in the top 5 in the business world, right?”
That word means that it is equal to the combined size of the two brothers, and it is different from saying that half of the sheep are taken away. I got goosebumps.
“It’s not far in the future to have to destroy department stores and hotels.”
“okay. If you knock out just one, the fallen cruiser men will come running to us. That will be a warning to Oh Se-hyeon.”
The brothers, who always kept each other in check, returned to their true form as brothers who could not be separated for the time being due to external enemies.

The year 1999 marked the end of the 1990s and was a year of high expectations for the new millennium ahead of the year 2000.
In particular, as the economy overcame the worst economic growth rate of -6.9% experienced last year at a stroke of +9.5% as if ridiculing it, there were widespread expectations that the new year would be even better.
And this year was dominated by the anticipation of the new millennium and the fear of Y2K. However, as January 1, 2000 dawned, the things that were feared did not happen.
Banks were willing to work overtime to prepare for emergencies, and so did government agencies and large corporations. When the new year dawned, they, who had been nervous all night, let out a sigh of relief and left work.
That is how the 21st century began.
None of my relatives went to my grandfather’s house this year. This is because they had to prepare from the morning in preparation for the incoming guests.
The executives of Sunyang Distribution and affiliates were conflicted between Oh Se-hyeon and Jin Seo-yoon, but they all headed to their aunt’s house when Oh Se-hyeon informed them that they were going down to the countryside.
I got out of the house, which was so busy that it was hard to see who was coming and going, and headed quietly to Pyeongchang-dong.
It was to have a long talk when my grandfather’s house was quiet.
As it was the first day of the new millennium, I bowed deeply and took a seat in the living room.
“Isn’t Grandma back yet?”
“okay. They say they are still living in Europe as good nobles.”
“Aren’t you in England?”
“I bought some paintings and moved them to a villa in Geneva. I want you to know what you are doing.”
Grandpa’s expression didn’t look good, so I didn’t ask anymore. Even though it’s been almost 60 years since we’ve been married, it feels like we’re getting farther and farther apart for some reason.
“I think President Cho is still there.”
“That friend should also receive three times as many descendants. He told me to come at ease.”
Perhaps because he had let go of many things, the grandfather even looked relaxed.
“By the way, is it a strange car? As for automobiles, haven’t the restructuring of Ajin and Sunyang been over? Chairman Cho Dae-ho and Song Hyeon-chang are praised by the business world for doing a good job, so what are they going to do?”
“I want to make some changes.”
“change?”
“yes. Isn’t it an undeniable fact that it’s difficult to surpass Daehyun Motors anyway? Then you have to see the world and run.”
“Hey. Daehyun is also a minor when he goes outside. I can’t even catch Daehyun, so what’s the world like?”
Grandpa shook his head as if he didn’t care.
“Production and sales are not everything. There are many Olympic sports.”
“Heh heh, that guy. I still live with my mouth… So what do you want to say?”
“We need to transform into a beloved automobile company.”
“what? love?”
Grandpa laughed out loud.
“Hey. What is the love story of a guy who can’t even properly date? A passing dog will laugh.”
“Is that love and this love the same? Do you know?”
“Let’s ask something.”
“yes.”
The expression on the grandfather’s face as he sits close to me is extremely serious. What is it?
“That’s the guy you’re dating. Do you see each other often?”
“Are you Minyoung? no. All we do is meet a couple of times a month and have a meal and a beer. I am busy, but he is too. I’m preparing for the sashimi…”
No wonder, Min-yeong said that she should go into the temple at least. As if passing the exam before graduation was her top priority, she was under such pressure that she hurriedly ate and went back to the library.
“Hey. Are you dating a couple of times a month and eating together? I will see my friends more often than that.”
“Are you in a hurry? If we get farther away like this, we’ll just be schoolmates.”
for a moment! By the way…
“Grandpa. Did I ever tell you I was meeting someone? I don’t remember saying that…?”
“what? oh no I said How can a young child not remember more than this old lady!”
even screaming
I thought I knew why you were doing this, so I didn’t say anything more. You must always have someone behind me. It must have a good meaning.
I’m fine, but when the embarrassed grandfather tried to make more excuses, a savior appeared.
“It is very late. President.”
CEO Dae-ho Cho entered the living room holding a cloth in one hand.
“No. I’m sorry to have called you from the first day of the new year, since you’ll be busy greeting your children.”
“it’s okay. Where are the greetings from grown-up bastards? It’s a burden. Rather, it is a good excuse. haha.”
As President Cho quietly put down the New Year’s present in his hand, he bent down.
“Be healthier in the new year. Mr. Joe.”
“Ah, Do-joon was there too?”
President Cho Dae-ho lightly tapped my back and straightened my back.
“Sit down. I will give you a big bow.”
“Quit it. Growing old is also sad, but should I even show that? By the way, what are you doing alone?”
“This is my friend. It’s this guy who called you. I’m getting old, so I don’t notice. haha.”
“Oh is that so? This is tense. A call from the largest shareholder. haha.”
When the word “shareholder” came out of President Cho’s mouth, I was startled. Did this gentleman already know that I am the de facto owner of Miracle?
Seeing my surprised expression, CEO Dae-ho Cho gave a slightly perplexed expression.
“Did I have to hide that I knew this?”
At this time, my grandfather patted me on the back and said.
“are you okay. He is a man with a soft mouth. He gives away a Sunyang car so easily, but he is a person who deserves to know the context.”
“yes. I was surprised, but it wasn’t something I had to hide. I made a mistake, Mr. Cho.”
“no. I have a lot of eyes to see, so I have to do that. It’s known that Ajin Group was passed on to a 20-year-old college student. The world would have turned upside down. who believes that Moreover, the university student is the third generation of Sunyang Group. It must have been noisy, saying preferential treatment or expedient gifting. It was a wise decision.”
Hiding the facts is interpreted from a completely different angle. I just avoided the eyes of my uncles.
“Let’s go into the study and talk quietly. This guy must have a lot to say to you.”
* * *
“You want to change the color of your company?”
“yes.”
“You’re thinking of doing something difficult.”
President Cho Dae-ho did not show any surprise or curiosity. It means you already have an idea of what I’m trying to do.
“I can barely see the normal trajectory right in front of me. Even if you can see it, it’s not easy to get in. If we make another branch here, we may not be able to get on track.”
For President Cho, the number of business results will spin in his head. Negative words come out first because the numbers you need to branch out from that number do not come out no matter how hard you try.
“For now, worry about money later.”
“first? good. So can you hear what color it is? Is it red or blue…”
Grandpa smiled and helped out.
“We want to make it a beloved company.”
“Love?”
President Cho’s reaction is no different from his grandfather’s. It’s all about the expression that seems a little absurd.
