The Youngest Son Of A Rich Family - Chapter 237
[237]3 Before the end of winter,
Chairman Jin Sang-gi greeted the three guests with an expression full of anticipation.
They were practicing lawyers, not affiliated with a law firm, and they all had thick papers on the table.
“I heard that the president said it already.”
“All of these documents are donated to the foundation. The president has already signed it, so just stamp the foundation seal and the donation process is over.”
“This document is a list of donated assets. Check it out.”
Jin-sang received the documents as if he had stolen them and began to examine them.
It took an instant for his expression to distort as he dreamed of a dense list.
“What is this?”
“yes?”
“Is this everything?”
“That’s all of the chairman’s property that we manage.”
“we? So, are there other lawyers out there?”
“I don’t know that far. Let’s check with the president.”
Jin-sang looked at the list once again.
Five buildings and land scattered across the country. Finally, about 30 billion won in cash…. When
Jin-Sanggi turned his eyes back to the list, the lawyers said as if they had been waiting.
“Currently, excluding maintenance and building management staff salaries, we generate about $1.4 billion in revenue every month. You should check the expiration date of the rental agreement and decide whether to extend the agreement. Oh, and please let us know whether we will continue to manage it or the foundation will manage it.”
“Land is divided into areas that can be changed and areas that cannot be changed. The value of the land was calculated with reference to the surrounding transaction amount.”
“Its value is ninety billion. Is that correct?”
Jin-sang asked with a puzzled expression.
“That’s right. If the use is changed, the value of the land will skyrocket.”
The hand holding the document trembled and slowly crumpled it.
“Are these people joking! Hey. The founder of Korea’s largest company is my father. However, the property is a small amount, a few buildings, and a piece of land! Does this make sense?”
Unlike the excited Jin-sang, the lawyers did not lose their calm.
“As I said, that’s all the property we manage. I don’t know if the president has other personal lawyers besides us. So it would be accurate to check with the chairman whether it is all or part of the property.”
yeah it can’t be like this Surely there will be more. You made it clear that it was the money you were playing with. If you can say that my father put up with it, you have to go over hundreds of billions.
that’s right. The money management must have been done by another lawyer. Bona Mana, it must be a borrowed-name account, so you must have a lawyer specializing in that side.
This was Jin-sang’s idea, and I wanted to believe that it must be true.
Picking up the phone, he threw a short word.
“Tell the legal team to come. Carry the Foundation seal.”
Jin-sang stood up as if there was nothing more to see.
“When the legal team comes, they explain and deal with it. I have an appointment…”
When Jin-sang left, the lawyers’ expressions changed.
“Is that all? The money has been sorted out by the chairman.”
“Didn’t you see that friend’s expression a moment ago? If I said that this was all, I thought there would be an uproar.”
“In case there might be other lawyers, we just have to deal with this. There is no need to meddle in other people’s chores.”
The three lawyers shut their mouths as the legal team members opened the door and entered.
* * *
“Chairman. You should get well soon.”
“You still look corrected. Shake off your hair and get up.”
All executives of the Sunyang Group want to come, but only a few are chosen. Those who set foot in the hospital room were all those who sat in key positions or CEOs of major affiliates when Chairman Jin was in good health.
There were still some people who firmly held the position, and some retired people who left the company as soon as Chairman Jin stepped down from the front line.
“Do you think the company is free these days? Seeing that the old man in the back room flies even when he is visiting the hospital.”
Chairman Jin greeted them warmly, and for a while, laughter erupted in the hospital room. As their laughter died down, President Jin spoke.
“Seeing that everyone has wrinkles, do you think living on a salary is difficult these days?”
No one took it as a simple joke. Everyone knows that Chairman Jin is confirming the current situation of the group.
“We feel it is time for us to sort things out. Shouldn’t new wine be put into new wineskins?”
Son Hoon-jae, president of Sunyang Electronics, the representative of them, opened his mouth with a smile.
“why? Does your bastard treat you badly?”
“It’s not like that, but if Vice Chairman Jin Young-gi wants to lead quickly, it would be inconvenient for the older generation like us. There are many young and great juniors.”
“Wouldn’t it be the same for Vice President Vibrator? In particular, it is clear that people from Nogada, who touch cement and iron, are uncomfortable because the relationship between the top and the bottom is rougher.”
The president of Sunyang Heavy Industries also added a word.
“Looking at it, you didn’t come to visit me in the hospital, but to express your dissatisfaction. haha.”
Chairman Jin burst into laughter, but the bosses could not solve their hard expressions. Looking at them, Chairman Jin clicked his tongue inwardly.
Men have to admit and accept that they are old. If you can’t accept this fact, you will struggle and become greedy in order not to lose your status.
It’s because an old man who already has no taste as a man remains as long as his fingernails, because the only way to be recognized that he hasn’t aged is a seat and a business card.
It may not be all of the people gathered in this hospital room, but to President Jin, it looked like old people who couldn’t let go of their lingering attachments, clinging to prolong their vitality.
“Bring some paper and a ballpoint pen.”
One of the waiting assistants quickly walked out of the room.
Everyone’s eyes widened at Chairman Jin’s sudden action.
“Before I go, I will make you feel at ease. Wait a minute.”
When the secretary brought a handful of paper and a ballpoint pen, Chairman Jin pointed to the CEOs.
“Give me everything.”
Chairman Jin said sternly to them who were holding paper and a ballpoint pen and blinking their eyes.
“Everyone sign your resignation. Just leave the date blank. I will decide when to back off.”
When everyone noticed the lightning-like instructions, a loud voice was heard again.
“What? hurry!”
When President Sohn Hoon-jae first grabbed a ballpoint pen and started writing his resignation letter, the rest hurriedly followed suit.
Those who had already withdrawn hoped that this awkward and uncomfortable time would pass quickly.
Everyone put down their pens and handed out their resignations to Chairman Jin. Chairman Jin, who put their resignations aside, opened his mouth.
“How is it? Are you clear?”
There’s no way you’ll feel comfortable because you haven’t emptied yourself. Everyone lowered their heads and kept their mouths shut.
“These guys. I’ve had that for a long time Didn’t he make good use of the fact that he was an executive of Sunyang when getting his children married? Could it be that you were trying to use it for your grandson’s wedding?”
“Oh no. President.”
“All right then. I’ll tell you to take care of your severance pay so you won’t be disappointed, so from now on, empty your mind and work. And… everyone was in a high position and hit a lot. That’s what I closed my eyes to. Aren’t you thankful? Uh-huh.”
Only the sound of Jin’s laughter spread throughout the hospital room.
It sounds like a slippery slope, but it’s a clear warning.
When selecting a site for a new factory, they bought the surrounding land in advance and sold it when the land price rose. When there was good news from the company, he bought stock under a borrowed name and made huge profits. In some cases, when selecting a new subcontractor, a relative or acquaintance’s company was selected and stakes were burned.
Everyone turns a blind eye to this level, but it’s not difficult to make it a problem.
Chairman Jin’s smile is tantamount to a warning not to think about anything else even if he accepts his resignation today.
“Even if you quit the company, I’ll tell you to prepare an audition and an office, so if you’re bored, come out and do your own thing.”
Two years of being able to maintain dignity while receiving the current salary with the position of a generous severance pay auditor.
This is the last image of those who devoted their lives to the Sunyang Group.
Of course, 99.9% of them are kicked out without being able to enjoy this kind of luxury
. I need to get some rest.”
When the clear order to celebrate the guests was issued, everyone bowed their backs and retreated.
“Ah, Mr. Son. You stay a while.”
President Son Hoon-jae’s expression darkened even more after he sent out his secretary, who had been working by Chairman Jin’s side, and was alone with him.
“Do you think the way things go back to work these days is such a mess? There’s a lot of grumpiness on their faces.”
“It’s because everyone is anxious about today and tomorrow. Well done anyway. Rather than having a rough time with the two vice-presidents, it was better to nail it down like this.”
“Why do you forget that you are a man even though you are old? Why don’t you know it’s time to change the water?”
“I’m sorry, so it must be. Chairman, please understand.”
“What do I understand? That’s why you care.”
“I am fine. Actually, I should have quit last year, but I missed the time. I put the date on my resignation letter. I’ll get things sorted out by the end of this month and then I’ll step down.”
“I’m sorry and thank you. Because you know what I mean.”
It is Sunyang Electronics, the representative of the group. There is no one so shameless as to stand up in the yard where even Son Hoon-jae, the president of the company, steps down.
“you’re welcome. Anything else you want to say…?”
“The stake you and your other friends hold.”
“Ah yes. Just say it. I will move it.”
Chairman Jin smiled at his answer. It is a whopping 5% stake, but there was no sign of black heart.
“No need to move. keep holding on That’s my severance pay. It’s just…”
“Chairman. It can’t be. Isn’t it just a simple stake in affiliates?”
Surprised, President Son Hoon-jae waved his hand, but Chairman Jin just continued to laugh.
“Is it because I don’t know what the stake is?”
“Oh no.”
“Then do as I say. Instead, the voting rights of the shares are with you as the trustee. Wouldn’t it be okay if I told you my instructions? Don’t vomit any more.”
“yes. President. Then, please tell the president how you feel about that voting right.”
“Only think of one thing, and you decide. Does it benefit the group?”
“I will keep that in mind.”
President Son Hoon-jae bowed his head deeply.
“If you have nothing more to say, I will stand up. You look very tired.”
“Good job. Oh. Just in case, after the children found out that it wasn’t long before I went to the underworld, I wondered if there were any changes or strange currents.”
Chairman Jin looked closely at President Son Hoon-jae’s face as if to check if there was even the slightest hint of something strange.
“Everyone is busy. haha.”
“Are you busy?”
“Executives are busy paying attention to who should line up behind them, and employees with poor performance are on edge for fear of a major restructuring.”
“Is that starch? You know what I’m asking, but you’re saying something else…!”
Seeing Chairman Jin’s disapproving expression, President Son Hoon-jae rummaged for a while before opening his mouth carefully.
“I haven’t confirmed it exactly, but a little strange story circulated. But it soon became quiet, so I spilled it…”
“This friend! What do you spend so much time on? Tell me now.”
“It is a rumor that the current group structure has been reviewed to transform into a new holding company. And this rumor circulated long before the president entered the hospital, so I forgot about it.”
It was a remark that was not taken seriously from the perspective of President Son Hoon-jae, but he immediately regretted it. It was because President Jin, who had already hardened to the point of hardening, was trembling with his fists clenched.
