After 12 Hours

Unexpected news

A man with white skin and neat hair asks me about horn-rimmed glasses.

“Why did you keep it a secret? ”

“I wasn't trying to keep it a secret. It's just... it was a bad time for investors other than me... and I didn't think it was manners to let our success out. ”

“So, you kept your profits a secret to honor other investors. ”

“That's right.”

He mutters what I say and writes something on the note.

“I see. I kept my profits a secret to be considerate of others. ”

Forbes Magazine is one of the first American economies. The main characteristic of this economic zone is that it ranks well. ‘The World's Most Valuable Sports Club’ or 'The World's Most Profitable Company’ Ralphie. Now, the topic of the interview is "The Hundred Rich in Korea". And I was the one at the top of that leaderboard.

“Is there a reason you bought Suyeon Electronics? ”

“After investing in China, I searched everywhere to acquire a domestic company. But I noticed Suyeon Electronics. I tried a hostile M&A because I thought the stock was undervalued compared to the prospect and the equity structure was weak. The result was a success.”

“But there was a lot going on in the process with Suyeon Group, right? Hearing the news of the owner's death, the tax evasion, the arrest of the next chairman... what do you think about that? ”

I looked at the interviewer with my arms folded, and said,

“... I thought I was lucky. because it made the stock price cheaper. ”

“But the timing is so subtle that it was created by Representative Han Sang-hoon in the first place... What do you think about it? ”

I said with a bloody smile.

“That's ridiculous. I made a lot of money, of course, but I was an investment owner, and Suyeon Group was a financier for over 50 years. How could an investment company owner do such a thing against the penalty? It must have been a fancy word. ”

“I see.”

He nods and shrugs something more into the note.

“So what's your next plan? ”

“I'm going to add more M&A for a while. The financial crisis in China has left the world in a volatile position, but I'm gradually on my way. If we have a good company, we'd like to buy a few more and build them together. ”

“I see. You're going to start more companies. ”

“Of course, I was the richest man in Korea, but in the global market, I'm still just a sunchick. I want to challenge the global market starting with Suyeon Electronics. ”

“Ah, I see. Korea's richest family is still hungry. I want more money ”

I said there with a slight gesture.

“Ah, that's a little nuanced... not quite right. ”

He asks me instead of mocking the pen.

“What...? ”

“I want more money. That part. I'm actually now more obsessed with success than I am with money. ”

“Success?”

“Yes, to do something well, to anticipate something, to act on it, to get the results you want. Money is just the product. In fact, three years ago, three years ago, right? I don't seem to be obsessed with money since I have more than 10 billion in my account. because I couldn't do anything about it because I had too much money. ”

“Oh, really? ”

“Yes. I now have hundreds of times more assets than I did then, but I don't live in luxury. So I want more money. It doesn't fit a bit. I want to be a little more successful I think that's more like it. Money is not the problem. Let's face it... as successful as I am at making money in the future, I want to be successful at spending money. ”

“Does that mean... charity? ”

“Yeah, well, Bill Gates would be my role model. I want to challenge hunger relief, refractory medicine, and so on. ”

“Oh, I see. That's a great idea. So far, the official interview is over. Is there anything else you'd like to say? ”

“Not really. ”

“Yes, that's it, then. Thank you for agreeing to this interview. Jules.”

I got up from my seat with a nod. Park's assistant approached and handed me the coat and said.

“Ms. Grant, during the interview, I got a call from Vice President Jang. ”

“Yes.”

I immediately picked up the phone and called. Jean gets it.

“Yes, boss. Did you have a good interview? ”

“Yes. What can I do for you? ”

“It was nothing special, two acquisitions, and I wanted to keep you updated. ”

“Ah, yes, go ahead. ”

“Once Suyeon Construction is paid as soon as the estate tax is paid, we have decided to accept it. That's 4.99 percent of the shares. Mr. Tak Mun-su... well, you should see the results of the trial... but it looks like his relatives are talking about disposal as well. The lawyers are top notch, but there's not a very good story out there either. ”

It's a public fact, but our judges are not always neutral. Whether the defendant is a rich person, a small person, a powerful person, or a non-powerful person, he or she sees the power above, and public opinion below. He had money, but the top was stamped on the power, and the bottom was like the third year of a large corporation like the devil, so the punishment could not be lightened for the judge.

“He was so overwhelmed that he thought it wouldn't be easy to post a public opinion. So... even Mr. Tak's family members are told to give up their right to inheritance. If any company rots in prison for more than 20 years, that's the problem. ”

After the fall of Table Moon was confirmed, Su Yeon Group's remaining heirs began to bite him. Like a swarm of sharks attacking a wounded comrade. They did not greed to take over Suyeon as openly as a cloudy machine, but this is how they wanted to go to prison.

Aside from Suyeon Electronics and Construction, Suyeon Group was again in danger of a fight between the seeds and being torn apart. I didn't mean to.

“... Well, I see. All right, that's it. Let's leave it at that. Let's just get on with our business. What's going on with the CEO? ”

“Former Vice President of Maverick Turner Intel, Former Water Electronics CTO of Jaecheol New. Both responded that they were interested in becoming President of Suyeon Electronics. I think it would be a good idea for you both to come to the company and talk to us and make a decision. ”

“Ah, I see. Great. Let me know when you've scheduled a meeting. ”

“Yes, and FC Sejong. ”

“Oh, yeah. ”

I said with a sparkle in my eyes.

“Needless to say, Jules, welcome your investment. He wants to speak to you as soon as possible. ”

“Good for you. Then I'll have to go down to Sejong City once. Let's talk about the field. ”

“Yes, of course. ”

Immediately after Suyeon's acquisition was concluded, I chose a car as a reward for me, instead of a football table. It was FC Sejong. FC Sejong was the first professional sports club to be created since Sejong's launch, and it had not been able to get sponsors for a while, so Sejong Market was playing a table tennis player.

Sejong City is now a large city with a population of 800,000, but it is difficult to operate with taxes that only walk on citizens. The staffs were lacking in athletes, and the stadium was borrowing from others, so even the lower leagues could not escape. In the meantime, I've decided to become the main sponsor of this FC species.

This was kind of an expensive hobby. Why aren't there any computer games that serve as directors to grow the table? I was going to spend the money and do it in real life. You know, pay the bills, build the stadium, bring in the supervisor, bring in the staff.

About three years? No, but we have to bring in a prospect to raise him, and in about five years, he'll be able to defeat Korea. ’

Of course, it will be easy to operate because I know who will and how to become a great athlete in the future. A table holder who sees the future. That's who I am. When I got off the phone with Jean,

‘Haha, that sounds fun. ’

I smiled and put my phone in my pocket.

“Then shall we go? ”

Park's assistant approaches me and asks. I nodded.

On the way back home in the car Park's secretary drives, I looked out the window with my arms folded as usual. But then, an advertisement for Su-yeon fashion was pouring out of a large billboard in a building. Suyeon Fashion, a subsidiary of Suyeon Construction. It's a company that will eventually become mine. I looked at it and I thought,

What news from the future... of the clothing business?

When I think about it, the bigger the company, the more work I had to do. Electronics, construction, fashion, more places that need my insight. You can even look into movies in advance. I used to buy distributors for a short while, but now I'm the distributor's owner.

‘... I need to look at the news more closely. ’

I have now had to act to some extent not only as an investor but also as a manager. Because there are more companies in charge.

‘It's easy to manage. We're making a decision up there anyway. Knowing the future always makes the right decision. Now, as soon as you get your Grandmaster status and you hear the news 12 years from now... anything at all. I can't get out of my hands. ’

I got in the back of Park's car and thought that. But that was my arrogance. When I came home, there was news waiting for me that I could not imagine.

“Really?"

“Yes.”

She nods. I scratched my head for a moment because I didn't know what to do. She explained the supplementary explanation.

“I haven't had a period in two months... but I do that sometimes. That's why I was in the Ginga Village. It's true, the doctor. ”

She's pregnant. This was the most shocking news story I've ever heard. because I don't teach it in the news of the future. But coming back from the shock, thinking about it, this wasn't bad news. Rather, very good news. I said, holding Aryoung's hand.

“Yeah, that's great. There are a lot of couples who are thinking about getting married and having problems these days, and we're starting without any problems, right? ”

I speak positively, she nods.

“Yeah. I've been hearing that lately...”

I looked her in the eye and said,

“I was too busy with my work to slow down. Let's eat as soon as possible. You don't want to wear a dress full of yourself, do you? ”

She nods, but gives a subtle look.

“Why not? ”

“No, that's not it. ”

“Yes.”

“I want you to propose again. ”

I said with a bloody smile.

“Oh, yeah, yeah. ”

I will be a father. Maybe it was bigger news this year than I bought Suyeon Electronics.
