The Youngest Son Of A Rich Family - Chapter 262
[262] Together for a short time 3
“You said you went to Gunsan?”
“yes. I came to say hello to my grandfather.”
“Just say hello?”
“I had something to report. Well… not a good thing.”
Chairman Lee Hak-jae, who was sitting in the chairman’s chair and checking the approval documents, jumped up and sat across from me.
“say.”
“yes?”
“Tell me what the bad thing is. Didn’t you come to check on that?”
“Do you have to come to work? I came to say hello to you.”
“Unless the major shareholder came to watch the salaryman chairman, you are not the kind of person to walk around leisurely saying hello. say.”
He is a very comfortable person with no clutter.
“You know how well I blocked the board of directors of Sunyang Financial Group, right?”
“Should I praise you for doing well? If you want to hear it, do it.”
“How can you keep me from saying anything?”
Chairman Lee Hak-jae grinned when he deliberately made a fuss.
“Good job. okay? now tell me What?”
When I say things that are hard to say, I say more useless words. I don’t know what this person will think, but I opened my mouth with difficulty.
“It’s Grandma’s problem.”
“Mrs.?”
“yes. My uncles keep harassing me to get me out of the Sunyang Group.”
“The two vice presidents aren’t good sons who listen to their mother. Would you do something like that again?”
He says it like it’s nothing, but Vice Chairman Lee Hak-jae’s expression is dark. This person must know something about Grandma too.
“As far as I know, the grandmother has a weapon that can move the uncles. We don’t know if he wielded that weapon or if he hasn’t revealed it yet.”
“weapon?”
“yes.”
“What is that weapon?”
“Money.”
Lee Hak-jae was not surprised. Did you already know?
“Money… She is the hostess of Sunyang Group, so of course she must have a lot of money. But not enough to be used as a weapon. The two sons who have a big subsidiary in their hands are not swayed by their mother’s wealth.”
“It may be beyond your imagination. No, that’s for sure.”
I am a bit surprised now. I didn’t know anything
“How much money is it enough to say that it is beyond your imagination?”
“If I knew exactly, I would have told you the amount.”
“Then it’s just an uncertain guess?”
“So I’m checking. How long has Grandma been in charge of the Sunyang Arts Foundation?”
“Let’s see… It’s been more than 20 years since the new military government took over and started forcibly with cultural policies and whatnot. Why?”
“How about the money that has flowed into the foundation over twenty years?”
Chairman Lee Hak-jae smiled and waved his hand.
“What else do I say? Are you saying that because you don’t know? Of course, the money that goes into the foundation is enormous. Because they poured donations for the purpose of tax evasion. But art foundations are not for-profit. I may have played a little prank in an expedient way, but it would be insignificant? Money doesn’t grow unless you roll it.”
“No. In fact, I made a huge fortune. It contains not only domestic art and antiques, but also world-class art. Seriously, would grandma be treated like a VIP at Sotheby’s in London and Christie’s in New York?”
“A work of art has no value in itself. You have to sell it and convert it into money to become a weapon.”
“Exactly.”
“What is that…”
As if he finally realized something, Chairman Lee Hak-jae was speechless for a while with his mouth wide open.
“Are you sure?”
The first word that came out again after a long time was reconfirmation.
“There is no evidence, but there are testimonies. Of course, you can’t use it in court.”
“Details!”
Chairman Lee Hak-jae’s stiff face even gave rise to the illusion that he had returned to his grandfather’s chief of staff.
“The paintings on display at the Sunyang Gallery and the antiques at the Sunyang Art Center are exhibited three or four times a year. Of course, anything of great value is never revealed to the public.”
“Most of the art is in the foundation’s storage.”
“I even checked the list of Sunyang Arts Foundation. It is a work of art collected over 20 years. The price is basic by dozens of times, and there are many works that have increased by hundreds or thousands of times.”
“If you checked the list, doesn’t that mean you haven’t cashed in yet?”
“I only checked the list. I didn’t see the actual thing.”
“No? Did you sell them all?”
“Perhaps.”
“what?”
It is very rare to see Chairman Lee Hak-jae surprised.
“Most of the works currently in storage are likely to be forgeries. Since the masterpieces are not released anyway, there may not be any at all. Among the list, Francis Meyer’s portrait of Freud trilogy would be the most expensive, but I bought it for 90 billion won. Have you seen it?”
“I am an art novice.”
“me too. But now the value of this work is 150 billion.”
“So either there is none or it was replaced with a fake one? Are you selling all the originals?”
“It is almost certain. These are the words from a smuggler who took part in pilfering genuine products overseas and a forgery expert called Insadong Wizard. I made a forgery myself, but later an article popped up saying that the Sunyang Art Foundation had purchased the original.”
Chairman Lee Hak-jae already had a blue face.
“In some cases, genuine products are purchased overseas and there are cases where fakes are brought in. The genuine ones are disposed of right there.”
“Maybe the reason you’ve been in Switzerland for a long time…?”
“yes. He must have done a lot of things there.”
“Did Byung-jun Woo investigate?”
“yes.”
“If it were him, that must be it.”
Chairman Lee Hak-jae leaned back on the sofa and took a long sigh before closing his mouth again.
“We are trying to figure out what he did with the money he raised. However, if it is buried in a borrowed-name account or in Myeong-dong, it will be difficult to find out.”
Straightening his body again, he said confidently.
“It is a borrowed-name stock.”
“stock?”
“okay. This lady must have attracted stocks. No matter how much money you spend, affiliates organize everything, so you’re not someone who needs money.”
“Then I can’t just leave it like this anymore.”
“What are you going to do?”
“I told my grandfather in advance. My grandmother said she would let me spend my old age in Switzerland. Of course, before that, I’ll have to make Grandma broke. It might cause trouble later.”
Lee Hak-jae shot a cool look.
“This lady is your paternal grandmother. And no matter what anyone says, she’s the chairman’s wife. Don’t do anything that goes against the laws of heaven. You will be punished.”
A villain deserves to be punished and die one day. But I was punished in advance.
He was killed by a bullet in his head. It’s a punishment no matter who sees it.
Since he is a villain who has already received his punishment, he has no reason to fear it.
“He said he would let me spend my last years comfortably in a beautiful Swiss villa. This is a better filial son than a child.”

When the charter plane arrived at Kota Kinabalu Airport, the presidents of financial affiliates were excited.
All employees were given 3 days of vacation to renew the company atmosphere. I took them all on a chartered plane so that I could enjoy golf to the fullest and rest well at the resort.
“Can we play golf alone?”
Vice President Jang Do-hyung said as if he was embarrassed, but his mouth was wide open.
“I don’t really want to get involved with the old folks. haha.”
I drove them to the resort and met Oh Se-hyeon.
“Co-voting rights with Vice Chairman Dong-gi Jin?”
“yes. It will be quiet for a while.”
“Money?”
“Please find my uncle and wash it clean. Leave no trace.”
“Am I writing?”
“Is that so?”
“No kidding. It’s a resort deficit. It’s better than taking out a loan to make up for it.”
“Please. And it would be better if there was a direct flight.”
“Use your strength so that the sky will open quickly. There are a lot of people who stabbed money here and there. Use it this time.”
Seeing Oh Se-hyun’s serious expression made me laugh.
The inevitable nature of business is revealed. Aren’t you the one who has no reason to worry about the deficit? It’s something you just need to take a rest and manage in moderation, but you can’t stand the red numbers in the account book.
“All right. I’ll try my best. Anyway, let’s quickly organize the Labuan money.”
“But why are you dragging people around? Shouldn’t you come quietly to organize your slush funds?”
“I have insurance.”
“insurance?”
“yes. if really what if. There should be a hole through which I can get out if I get into trouble because of the Labuan slush fund.”
“Have you seen this bad guy?”
Oh Se-hyun stuck out his tongue.
“Did you bring one of them to make you the owner of the slush fund?”
“I’m not making it, but I’m going to claim myself as the owner of the slush fund. It’s an alibi for that time.”
“Now you’ve become the chaebol president.”
He spat out a crying sound toward Oh Se-hyun, who was shaking his head.
“How are you? Aren’t there a couple of people who can’t eat me? I also need someone to play the role of a bulletproof vest.”
He seems a little angry, but also shows sympathy. No, it seems to be right to look at it sadly.
“Anyway, find the money quickly and go to America with me.”
“USA? why? Any business at New York Miracle?”
“yes.”
The pitiful gaze disappeared in an instant and changed back to that of an investor.
“Did you come? Or any good info? Where are you going to invest this time?”
“I’m also trying to develop a dignified hobby called art collection, just like a super-wealthy person. This time, I plan to take over even a small gallery in New York.”
“what? art?”
Oh Se-hyun could not hold back the laughter that burst out.
After shedding tears and laughing for a long time, I was able to barely speak.
“Collecting art as a financial technique is not for everyone. You have to have a real eye for it. I’ve seen several fools who were tricked by galleries into buying worthless paintings and wasting money.”
“I will only buy art that is already famous. I’ve already made a list. If you give me more money, I’ll sell it saying it’s cool.”
“Stop saying you don’t know. People who have famous paintings don’t sell them. These guys are money rotters. I bought a painting because of the extra money, but if I said I would give you more, you would only get ridiculed?”
“The owner of my collection is different. I am a person desperate for money. He is someone who prefers Sunyang Group stocks instead of paintings.”
At the mention of Sunyang’s stock, the laughter vanished.
“what? Who the hell are you talking about?”
“This is my grandmother.”
I smiled bitterly.
* * *
“Why is that guy’s corner of my house shaped like that? All of them were people who were crazy about stocks.”
“That’s right. It’s cheap even if you get insulted. I am one of them.”
“Oug. Good job man.”
After hearing all the stories about her grandmother, Oh Se-hyeon breathed a deep sigh as if he was full of energy.
“so? Does Yoongi know about this?”
“no. I didn’t tell you. I can’t let my father build any more bad feelings with my grandmother.”
“Even the slightest twist in this case is fatal. It’s about exposing the faults of the oldest adult in the family… If the three letters of your grandmother’s name are leaked out, it will not only disgrace the family, but Sunyang’s name will also be hurt.”
“The name Sunyang has already become so dirty that everyone points fingers at it. I am not afraid to put a little more dust on a sign that has fallen into muddy water.”
“I get it. Then, let’s take care of the Labuan slush fund and go straight to the United States. I want to see their faces for the first time in a while.”
Oh Se-hyeon made phone calls here and there and looked at the computer monitor for the first time in a long time.
Labuan’s money will travel all over the world and come into my pocket, maintaining the name of slush fund, only in a different place from the bank.
