The Youngest Son Of A Rich Family - Chapter 90
[090] Who is the owner of the house? 3
“Pleasantly? Reporters are already asking. What are you going to say when you circulate the press release?”
“I will sign with the best image coordinator company. Experts will make it according to those initials.”
“what? coordinator?”
“yes. It is a company that will be responsible for and manages our company’s external image in the future. Also, Chairman Song and CEOs of affiliates are also making images.”
“What else is making? hey! Are we raising actors? Are you raising a celebrity?”
“The 21st century will be an era in which people live on images. Corporate image is directly related to sales. anyway! Don’t worry and enjoy today. Isn’t it a good day?”
On TV, CEO Dae-ho Cho’s inaugural address was followed by introductions by the presidents of each affiliate.
Now it is time for the reception to begin.
“uncle. You have to go and show your face. Aren’t you the undisputed ruler of this group?”
“you? Aren’t you going to say hello?”
“I think I will stop you from bothering you. I caught a glimpse of the uncles who were here. I’m just going to miss it.”
I wanted to avoid the uncomfortable stares I would receive from them. Isn’t today a bit special?
Oh no… I got out of the HW Group office building.
The building still bears the name Ajin, but that will soon change.
It is a day for self-congratulations, but it is also a day for proper flattery. We must not forget the grandfather who likes to be condescending.
There are many people who have died giving upright advice from ancient times, but haven’t there been people who have died trembling flattery?
“Chief. Where can I take you?”
Deputy Kim Yun-shik opened the car door.
“Let’s go to the president’s house.”
“yes.”
“If there is a supermarket on the way, please buy me a bottle of Jinro Soju.”
“Soju? He doesn’t even drink alcohol…”
“On a day like today, we should have a drink.”
I am so thrilled and proud that I want to drink to my heart’s content and get drunk.
Congratulation lightly. A bunch of success givers.
* * *
“Huh? why are you here already? The banquet must be in full swing by now?”
When I opened the study door and entered, my grandfather was watching the news. The second founding ceremony of Ajin Group is quite a big news story. It flows without stopping.
“Thanks to my grandfather, I became the owner of Ajin Group, so how can I enjoy it alone? I came to share a celebratory drink with my grandfather.”
He took out a bottle of soju from a black plastic bag.
“What? Why did you bring alcohol from a company that was unlucky?”
Grandpa frowned when he saw the red-labeled bottle of Jinro soju.
“Isn’t it an alcoholic drink with a 70-year history? Even the founder of Jinro, President Hak-yeop Chang, would not have known that a single soju brand would last for 70 years. And the company went bankrupt, but the product still doesn’t sell? Jinro Soju will never disappear.”
“It’s a product that can change owners but won’t disappear… I like that. haha. Okay, pour yourself a drink.”
Did you even notice my desire to say that Jinro Soju is the future of Sunyang? oh that’s different Doesn’t the owner change because he inherited the lineage?
“Congratulations. our grandson good job All I had at your age was a few pieces of gold, but you didn’t get what you had until I was over 40 when I was 20.”
“That’s because my grandfather couldn’t have a grandfather who gave me a spacious ranch as a gift when I was 10 years old. Thank you. It’s all thanks to my grandfather.”
Grandpa shook his head.
“no. Among the grandsons of South Korean conglomerates, there are many who own ranches worth tens of millions of won when they were 10 years old. Those guys are now in their 20s and 30s. There are many people who forgot what they received, but you are the only one who has been multiplied a thousand times over. What you have now is not because you took good care of your grandfather. made by your own You can brag. haha.”
Grandpa filled my glass with soju and bumped it lightly.
The two of us broke our glasses at once.
“I drank a lot of this alcohol, but now it doesn’t taste like it.”
me too. How much soju and pork belly did you drink? But that’s not the taste. I couldn’t even remember the thrill of the first glass of soju.
My grandfather and I stared blankly at the red soju label in silence, though it was only for a brief moment, locked in reminiscence.
It’s kind of funny. Old and young are immersed in memories of the same color.
The grandfather who woke up from memories opened his mouth first.
“How is Daeah Construction going?”
“Negotiations with the bank are proceeding smoothly with little concessions, and working-level staff are calculating the specific amount. And as soon as we discover the money stolen by President Moo-Sung Kang, we are in the process of recovering it.”
“The prosecution is working hard.”
“The labor cost was generously paid.”
Grandpa checked my complexion.
“But it looks like President Kang is enduring that he will never give out the proceeds from the stock sale.”
“yes. Even if he said he would arrest all of his children and grandchildren for embezzlement of public funds, he would not stand firm. Money… that’s scary.”
Looking at my spirited appearance, my grandfather said with a straight face.
“no. It’s a bad idea.”
“yes?”
“The proceeds from the stock sale are the last weapon President Kang has. I decided it wasn’t the time to wield a weapon yet. I can only wield it once, so I will wield it when I am more decisive.”
To swing here means to give up even the proceeds from the sale of stocks.
“No way? Could President Kang still have a chance…?”
“If the whole family is arrested and convicted, the stock price will probably be lost as a fine?”
“that’s right. But how are the chances left?”
“You can’t even touch the money. Because it goes into the national treasury.”
I still don’t know what my grandfather meant.
If the proceeds from the stock sale are returned to Daeah Construction, President Kang and his entire family will avoid being arrested.
However, if they persist, the proceeds from the stock sale will go to the national treasury and their families will be arrested.
Anyone can see that the former is a wiser choice than the latter.
The opportunity no longer exists.
Grandpa smiled calmly as he saw the question on my face.
“You are caught up in useless emotions and are trying to blow your money away. isn’t it? I forgot about the merchant.”
“Isn’t that a useless feeling? There is no such thing. I only think about money. That money will be of great help to the normalization of Daeah Construction. Isn’t that why you’re using your grandfather’s power to threaten and placate President Kang?”
I babbled a lot, but my grandfather explained my feelings in just one word.
“Justice.”
“yes?”
“You are angry because of the feeling of justice. I absolutely cannot tolerate the Kang family, who steals money from a failing company without paying salaries to its employees and will someday live happily with that money. Aren’t you full of thoughts that such a guy should become a know-it-all?”
I didn’t have anything to say, so my face turned red.
It’s a very pitiful world. The word justice is awkward, and anger at injustice has become a useless emotion. Whether it’s only in this family or the world, the boundary is ambiguous.
“President Kang sees you as a merchant. So I’m waiting and believing that you’ll make another offer to get even a single extra penny. If you hold out, you won’t get a penny. And there is no deal without a second offer.”
My grandfather told me exactly what President Kang intended.
“Isn’t it funny how a merchant judges and criticizes others? What does it matter how other people live or what they think? Moving the money in his pocket into your pocket, even if it’s just a penny, is a merchant.”
For a while, I sat there blankly, not answering or responding.
My feelings for President Moo-Sung Kang stem from past experiences. It was because I saw myself in the past from Daeah Construction employees.
“Think about it. What if President Kang proposes to share the money in his pocket? If you tell me how much to spare, he might accept your offer.”
“So, are you saying to leave some money and let President Kang’s family avoid being arrested?”
“If he said he would give half of the stock price to the company, he showed signs of remorse, so why not let him come out on probation? The screenplay is good.”
Looking at me still hesitating, he added a word.
“Don’t think about anything else.”
“You mean something else?”
“The idea of taking the money first and then punishing President Kang later. Again, just think about money. Unless President Kang poses a threat to you, don’t even look at him.”
One thing I notice is really…
“Well, since Daeah Construction is in your hands, it must be a bonus to bring President Kang’s money. The old woman did everything she could. Shouldn’t you make the choice?”
“I will keep that in mind. I will decide like a merchant.”
The story ended like this.
Grandpa filled the glass again and congratulated me on what I had, and I thanked him and chatted for a while.

“Let’s go to Anyang Detention Center.”
“yes? Why are you there all of a sudden…?”
“Is there anywhere I can’t go to move money from someone else’s pocket to my pocket?”
Deputy Kim Yoon-seok still tilted his head and grabbed the steering wheel.
Is there any way to really get money and make an unscrupulous guy know?
As I was deep in my thoughts, I was in Anyang before I knew it.
They were even assigned a spacious meeting room for the socially privileged class.
“How… do you like Jjambab at the detention center?”
“I think it’s a price to pay for ignoring an unheard-of company like Miracle.
There was still room.
Like Grandpa said, do you think you still have a sword left to wield?
“Since the visitation time is not long, I will only tell you what CEO Oh has to say.”
President Kang closed his eyes and nodded lightly.
“If the boss puts all the stock price he will earn into Daeah Construction or gives the company stocks at all….
”
“The prosecution’s investigation will be cut to this point and you will come out on probation. Then, I will give you the position of advisor at Daeah Construction. It is said that the advisor’s salary can be very generous. As long as you cooperate well in the future.”
President Moo-Sung Kang did not have an easy answer. My suggestion is that there is a hidden bonus.
“An unscrupulous man who sucked the marrow of a failing company. That bridle will come off. It was all a misunderstanding, and it was a bit dusty while working for the company. The media will wrap it up nicely and explode it like this.”
honor.
As we get older, we obsess over the value of our name. He is a merchant who only cares about money, but he knows the weight of the business card he carries.
The business card of being an adviser to Dae-ah Construction is not too heavy, but it is better than an ex-convict of embezzlement.
Kang Moo-seong is also a merchant.
You must have noticed that if you go to extremes with me, you will lose both money and honor.
“Um… Oh CEO, that friend is meticulous. Will I use the money I have for company expenses? Aren’t you too petty?”
All the money they take from recruiting them as advisors is their salary.
If you take all of the stock price and pay only part of it as a salary, it won’t be too bad. And aren’t you familiar with the hidden history of Daeah Construction?
You can use anything.
“Where is this big merchant? Even merchants who donate large sums of money pay meticulously before paying. Instead of paying taxes, donations are used for condescending purposes.”
“It must have been quite a lot for an advisor’s salary, right?”
“Instead, the advisor will pay a lot of money.”
“It is also a citizen’s duty to faithfully pay taxes.”
Seeing him smile, the only thing left to do is negotiate a salary.
“Then, I will prepare an advisor appointment contract.”
When I got up from my chair, President Kang held out his hand.
“Please take care of me.”
