I was about to enter the officetel, and a lady was walking in.

"Ike! Every hostess!"

She was the owner of the multi-family home where her parents live.

I lowered my head quickly and went into the coffee shop.

"When I see her, I don't know what else to say!"

I didn't want to meet this talkative lady.

"I can't because the officetel is near Sillim Station. There's a good chance you'll meet your neighbors."

It was because most of the people in the neighborhood changed buses here when they came back from downtown.

I didn't even eat me, but strangely, I was shy of people.

It was probably because I was living too atrophied.

After going up to the officetel and taking a shower, I turned on HTS, the home trading system of securities firms.

"Do you have any overtime?"

NEXOLON shares were up a lot after hours. It seemed like a 5% increase.

"Will you go up tomorrow?"

I didn't feel bad because I was up after time.

I went to a convenience store and bought triangular kimbap and canned beer and drank it while watching TV.

At night, I saw Grandma Baek. Baek.

White-haired Baek appeared with a Buddha-like smile, with Time magazine next to her, as always.

"Grandma. I bought shares in a company related to China. It's a company called Nexolon."

"Are you an exporting company to China?"

"It's not an export... It's a solar company, and they're trying to sell it to a Chinese company."

"Sell the company? Is it a management company?"

"Well, that's..."

My grandmother had a hard time answering because she disliked managing companies pathologically.

The companies that were placed under court receivership were at risk of being suspended due to their poor condition.

"I told you not to touch the court management companies, did I? Sell it tomorrow!"

"Well, I think there's a good news."

"Hope? You said it was a solar company."

"It's true that it'solar company. It's a company called Nexolon that produces solar components, Wafer and ingot."

"Would it take a lot of work to produce such a thing? Won't you go?"

"Well, I don't know. It's going to take a lot of course.”

"Then would the populous Chinese government encourage such projects to promote employment? Won't you?"

"I will."

"Then what made in China will be cheap? Do you think what we made is cheap?”

"Chinese with a low labor cost would be cheap."

"You'd better not deal with products that suffer from China's low-cost offensive.”

"That's why the company is in trouble and under court receivership."

"Of course it was.”

"But the company is run by the son of the famous OCI group. Won't OCI Group push you?”

"OCI Group? Isn't it a conglomerate that started out in Oriental Chemical Industries?"

"I'm not sure about that.”

"I know the founder there, Mr. Lee Hoi-rim. I'm probably three years older than my cousin General Baek Sun-yup."

While doing so, Mrs. Baek seemed to be absorbed in reminiscence for a while.

"Do you really know him?"

Chairman Lee Hoe-rim is from the same North Korea as me. He's the last individual merchant. I remember him as a diligent, frugal man."

"I see."

"But is that Nexolon company the first Chinese M&A?"

"I think it's the first time I've been in court for a while."

"Really? I'll play Tamar a few times."

"Huh? What do you mean, "Damachigi?"

Grandmother Baek said, with a straight face to my ear.

"M&A is kind of a bargain. They're going to sell it at a high price and they're going to buy it cheap."

"That would be so."

"I'm sure China has the technology to produce solar parts. It's not going to be easy."

"What should I do then?"

"If it's only been a while since the company was placed under court receivership, it won't be out of breath."

"Yes?"

"I'm going to put on a ringel and go to the bone for a while."

"Then I'll have to sell it.”

"Throw it when you say you are actively pursuing M&A with China. It's not easy to lead to a successful deal, so throw it when you talk about the sale."

"Okay."

"Management companies don't take long. Shake it off."

"Okay. Loyalty!"

I even gave a hand salute. Grandma smiled at this move.

Next day, the Nexolon began to climb.

Shares continued to rise on expectations when the CEO said he would go to China for talks with China on the sale.

"Grandmother said it was difficult to sell, right?"

I sold out after Nexon's stock rose by 35%.

The money came in at 513 million won. It took 13 million won out of its debit card account and left 500 million won in seed money for investment.

Nexolon, as Grandma said, failed to sell.

Nexon shares began to fall sharply after the news of the sale failed.

In the discussion room for Nexolon, abusive postings against the company's managers were almost everywhere.

"The stock is also timing."

I felt thankful to my grandmother.

I bowed loudly to my grandmother's temple.

Now my fortune has risen to more than 500 million.

I'm beginning to gain confidence.

"I couldn't get a job at a large company and bought my parents long-term wear, but I decided to buy them for them."

I went to the department store and bought two underwear and a set of ribs.

I stopped by the women's clothing store thinking about giving a present to my younger brother Jun-hee.

"She won't like it much if I buy her clothes. I'd rather be damned if I bought something that didn't fit. Or I'm sure you'll tell me you bought clothes of vulgar color."

I decided to give a gift certificate. I bought six gift certificates worth 100,000 won.

I stopped by the house a little late at night when the whole family gathered.

"Junsik is here!"

My mom and dad welcomed me. My brother never comes out of his room.

[Bad girl! My brother's here and he's not even coming out!]]

Mom said, receiving the stuff I bought.

"What have you bought so much?”

"Mom, Dad, it's underwear.”

"Uniforms? Ho-ho, what are you wearing? And what the hell is this?"

"It's a galbi set."

"Galbi set? Where are you going to give it to?“

"No. I brought it to eat at my place."

"Really? Did the boss give it to you to a brother you know?"

Mom thought I was a waitress.

"No, I bought it on my own.”

"Really? What did you do to make it?”

"You don't have to know that. I'll tell you later."

Dad looked at Mom and said,

"Since we haven't seen a galbi in a long time, let's grill it half way. I'll have a soju with my son."

Mother called her brother.

"Jun-hee. Come on out. Your brother bought me ribs."

My brother came out reluctantly and looked at me only at ribs without saying hello.

"Galbi is beautiful in color."

I laughed inwardly.

[Crazy! You sound like you've eaten galbi a lot!]

When my mom baked the galbi, I smelled meat at home after a long time.

Dad said a word to mom if he was sorry.

"I'll do the dishes later."

"Okay, take some soju out of the refrigerator."
