After 12 Hours

Throne of the Emperor

I wore a jacket and a tie. I opened the locker, wrapped the watch around my wrist, and looked in the mirror.

Um...

I'm me, but something doesn't feel right with my old company. Of course, there are some changes to the surface. The clothes I wore were changed from second-hand sales suits to custom suits in expensive fabrics, and I was fitted with shiny Rolex on my empty white wrists. But not only that, my chest is a little wider and my shoulders are bigger. It's probably, confidence. It would be because of confidence.

‘Obviously, I don't have the same mind as when I was at work. ’

At that time, I was pinched for a few coins, pinched by my boss, pinched and pinched, and something shrunk my shoulders. He had locked himself in his social position because of the numbers on his account.

If you think about it, you don't have to.

Regretfully, it's in the past. I was gone, and there was just a new me. I muttered, slapping my cheek twice.

“Okay, Han Sang-hoon. Good luck.”

While I'm at it,

"Tsk, tsk, tsk."

The officetel bells rang. I came just in time. I approached the front door and opened the door. Stand outside your secretary. Ji-hoon is standing.

“Ms. Grant, are you ready? ”

I nodded.

“Let's get out of here. ”

Today was the day I went to work after a long time. Not as someone else's company, my company, not as an employee, as president. I took the elevator with my assistant down to the underground parking lot. There's my Porsche. I pressed the car key.

Peeving.

The door opens with a sound. I was about to walk towards the driver's seat, Ji-hoon said.

“Oh, wait a minute. Boss.”

“Why?”

“Shouldn't I be driving as your assistant? ”

I laughed bloody. He then waves the key with the shield symbol.

“You want to drive this thing, right? ”

Ji-hoon smiled and said, "Did you find it in your heart?"

“That's true, but shouldn't the secretary be the one driving the car? ”

“Well...”

Come to think of it, it makes sense. Wherever you go, you may need to look in the stock window for HTS or MTS.

“Come to think of it, I might need one of those if I'm going to do business. See if you can find something... that a young CEO of a local car could ride. ”

“In a local car?”

“Yes, take a local car for work. Don't some people hate being arrogant when they're too young to ride in a foreign car? ”

“Yes, boss."

Ji-hoon said, slightly disappointed. I sat in the driver's seat and said,

“Don't be so sad. Dude, you're with me for five... or three years, and you're gonna be turning Porsche off. ”

“Is that so?”

Ji-hoon tilted his head.

“Yes. When did you see me lie with money? ”

As I was saying that, I suddenly remembered.

“Oh, right. ”

I pointed to the drawer in front of the passenger seat.

“Open it over there. ”

Ji-hoon opened it. Inside is a hexagonal box. I pointed my hand and said:

“That's yours. ”

“What is this? ”

I looked at him and I said,

“What did you forget? ”

Ji-hoon opened the box. Inside it is a shimmering clock. A watch with a capital R.

“It's not Rolex. It's Rolex. I told you I'd buy you one when this is over. Have you forgotten already?"

Ji-hoon alternately looked at the clock and said to me,

“No... I didn't forget... I thought it was empty. I really do.”

“I'm a man of my word. ”

I stomped on the accelerator with a grin.

Burp.

Tehran opens out of the officetel parking lot. I ran through Tehran and said one more word.

“Porsche in three years. It's not empty either. ”

*

Ten minutes to drive. I arrived at a building in Samseongdong. I took the elevator and I looked at the flyer, 17th floor.

Invictus investment.

My company's name is on it. The company's name is Latin for invincible and invincible. I took a short breath in front of the company. Then I opened the door and walked in. Inside the company, the employees stood up and greeted each other.

“Hello, Ms. Grant! ”

“Greetings!”

I feel a strange déjà vu when greeted by many people. When I saw this, I thought, this is definitely what I saw in my dream.

Ms. Grant! ’

I think I need to add one more example of what I dreamed of doing in my sleep. I shook hands once, circling the office.

“Good to see you, Jun Kim. ”

“Nice to meet you, boss. ”

“Good to see you, Shin Ji-yoon. ”

“Yes, boss. I'll work hard.”

“Nice to meet you, Mr. Kim."

“Nice to meet you, Jules."

Right now, it didn't take long because there weren't that many people. The last person to shake his hand is Vice President Jang. The one who put all this together by himself.

“Well done. I look forward to your continued service. ”

“What do you mean. I really appreciate it. Boss.”

After a personal handshake, I told my associates, with Jean on the left and his assistant on the right.

“Nice to meet you. Gentlemen, I don't know if you believe this story, but I was an ordinary company like you a few months ago. So I know what you want to do and what you think as you go through the company. ”

I said, the temples stared at me. mostly

Is it real?

It's a look. Most people follow me after seeing Jean, so you probably don't know me very well. I continued to say.

“When I think about going to work, I've really been forced to do things. It was a hard time. I work hard, my salary is ratty... and I don't come back right... and my whole time at work was painful. So I thought, at least as a company, I should give my employees a solid motivation. That motivation is not something else. ”

I took Porsche out of my arms. Like investment firms, everyone recognizes them.

“This is it. Right here. Money, the right of an individual in a capitalist society, the means of power. I want to motivate you with money. Obviously, I don't want to say it. I've heard that story a lot in my time at work. Family atmosphere. And then they abuse their families, they overtime their families, they compete against each other, and they get out. Does that make sense? ”

I say some temples laugh quietly.

“That's why I hate that word so much. I liked numbers instead of horses. I'm just giving you a number. I'm just going to talk numbers. because words are subtle, and they disappear after hearing them, but the numbers on the account are obviously left untrue. Isn't that right, folks? ”

Answer my question.

“Yes”

“When someone does a good job, I always tell the story in numbers rather than words. Sales, Operating Profit, and Net Profit. Everybody likes that word, right? I think of each of you as my subsidiary. If you have a subsidiary that makes good sales, operating profit or profit, I will pay you a sufficient dividend accordingly. Do you know what I mean? ”

“Yes, sir."

“Yep! ”

“Yes!”

Everyone answers aloud because their faces are reminded. Good. Reward those who do well. This will be the way I operate in the future. If these people follow my orders correctly, it will be profitable.

“Then work hard forward. I'll be watching. Thank you. ”

With applause, a voice is heard.

“Thank you, boss."

“I'll work hard. Ms. Grant”

I came into my seat, in the boss's office, listening to the clap. Secretary and Vice President Jang follow them inside.

Boom.

As I heard the door close behind me, and the clap faded, I sighed heavily.

“Whew!”

It seems to be the first time I've given a speech like this since the elementary school election. I stood with my hands on the head of my chair and asked my assistant.

“Did I do well? Ji-hoon?”

“Yes, boss. It was cool.”

Vice President Jang, who was with him, said a few words.

“That's a good point. Again, there's no word as popular as dividends for investment companies. ”

I sat down laughing.

“How's it going, by the way? What about the CKD Entertainment Acquisition?”

Zhang nodded.

“Excellent. The approximate story is settled, and now all you need is a specific story. That's also in our favor. Mr. Tochangi wants to sell it fast. Time is on our side. ”

I hit the table with my finger. Be careful of overly urgent properties, such as stocks or real estate.

“I want to sell quickly... Is there a accounting problem or something...?" ”

“I'm concerned about that, so I checked. It was neat and tidy.”

“Well...”

Then it's not bad. CKD entertainment fell considerably due to China's business, but was at a reasonable price based on assets or industry PER indicators.

‘Even if it costs a few billion… I can make that much more. ’

I thought about it and told Vice President Jang.

“Yes, well, that concludes the negotiations. Let me know when you're ready. ”

“Yes, boss. ”

After Jean closes the door, I turn around, sitting in a chair. The view here is as good as the officetel where I live. What's slightly different is that this is a line of business where companies come together in comparison to many of Gangnam Station's commercial buildings. KL Construction out of the window, Hyundai Bank, Our Life, is branded by large corporations. I sat in a chair and looked at them and said,

“Hey Ji-hoon."

Ji Hoon approached me and said.

“Yes, sir."

I pointed my finger at the most prominent building of our life.

“How much is that? ”

“Yes?”

I laughed. I didn't tell you to understand. It's just that all the companies on the side of the road seemed to be on top of the store, so I talked about it. Invictus. Our company's name was created in the language of the Roman Emperor's reign. That literally makes our company the Emperor's undefeated emperor. And this place where I sit now will be the throne of the Emperor. I sat on the emperor's throne and looked out for a while. Things that will soon be my territory.
