It became the wedding date for Lee Soo-chul, who works for a paper company.
I thought the wedding was still a long way off. I would have forgotten if Hwang Byung-chul, who runs a beer bar at Geumjeong Station's food alley, didn't get a call.
"You're going to my Su-cheol's wedding, right?"”
"Oh, tomorrow? We have to go."
"How much money should I pay for the congratulatory money?"
"That's all we have to do. How's the store going?”
"Nothing's going well these days. It's killing me."
"You can maintain the status quo, right?
"It's hard enough to live on."
"It was enough to make a living."
"But I heard you moved your office to Yeouido? My mother told me. My mother came here yesterday and drank until late. I drank until 2 a.m."
"Two o'clock? I can't even go home. The train was cut off."
"I slept in the sauna. She seems to be in a lot of pain these days."
"That happens. Please give me a lot of consolation."
"But he was so envious of you. Jun-shik became president of an investment company and he was in the world, and he lamented, "What is it is?"
"Haha, what have I done in the world?"
"He says the office is magnificent and he has a lot of employees. So when I told Jun-sik that he should go to the office in Yeouido, he said not to go."
"Come any time. There are good restaurants here, so let's have lunch together."
"I'm just saying. Does a merchant have time?"
"See you in front of the wedding hall tomorrow."
"Yes. See you tomorrow. I'll go with Kang Hyung-suk, who studies in Sillim-dong Gosichon."
Vice-chancellor Chang entered the president's office with a bright expression.
"I'm talking about the importer I mentioned the last time I brought your car to the lees. I told you I'm trying to attract funds.
"Yes, you said it once."
"It hasn't worked so far, and we've finally invested 500 million won in foreign funds.”
"Oh, really?"
"The boss has been investing in a tax-free fund for overseas stocks by himself."
"You seem to know a lot about overseas stocks. Well, he's the president of an imported car company, so he must have an eye for overseas stocks."
"The government created an overseas stock tax-free fund last month (February 2016) to invest in overseas securities. It's only temporary. We'll be tax-free by the end of December next year."
"I've seen an article in an economic newspaper once."
Grandmother Baek repeatedly emphasized me to read economic newspapers, economic magazines, and even English magazines. So I read economic newspapers carefully when my eyes hurt while looking at the Internet.
As a result, there were times when I talked more information during morning meetings than employees. At last, I gradually came to realize that even a graduate of the Jikjab University could win if I had a lot of information. Now, he has not been pushed back in his conversation with Chang, who had worked at a securities firm for more than a decade.
"You said you don't tax both gains from overseas stock sales and foreign exchange gains, right?"
"Yes, dividends and interest income are tax-free, but not taxable, for profits from sales."
"Isn't there a payment limit per person?"
"That's right. The payment limit is 30 million won. That's why the boss seems to invest in our JS fund. Moreover, I came in because I said I would invest only in companies that are in the S&P500 index. He said he'd come here once."
"Here?"
"My boss bought me a Maybach and said he would stop by to say hello."
"Oh, yes."
"That's why JS Overseas Fund is now selling 2.5 billion won. Choi Yuna's relatives have 2 billion, and the importer has 500 million."
"That's what it's going to me.”
"The overseas fund is for Choi Yuna. Choi Yuna will post the investment log every day."
"Okay."
"Oh, and the importer's daughter is getting married at a wedding hall in Gangnam. I'll send you a congratulatory money and a congratulatory wreath in the name of the president."
"Yes, go ahead."
Speaking of marriage, I thought of Lee Soo-chul, a paper company friend who is getting married tomorrow.
"I'll be out of the office tomorrow afternoon, too. I have a friend who is getting married."
"Then I will send the wreath to my friend tomorrow at the flower shop we're dealing with."
I never thought of sending a wreath to Lee Soo-chul.
"I will also instruct the general manager Hong Ji-young to handle the wreaths he sends to his friend at the company expense."
"My friend is not a customer here..."
"Haha, who else knows? Will it be our future customer?”
I smiled and nodded.
"Then, do it."
The next day, I went to Gangnam wedding hall.
I rode on the Benz Baimach.
Before, I thought about what kind of people would live in this neighborhood if I came to Gangnam.
I was envious of young people in Gangnam who rode foreign cars. It was like people living in different countries with me.
But now I wasn't envious at all.
As a result of their parents' inheritance, they looked like they were just wandering around without any guts.
Although I was helped by grandmother Baek, I proudly said that I was buying cars, buying houses, and being one person.
Even in the parking lot in Gangnam, people looked at me as I got off at Benz Mybach.
A young woman who rode SM5 kept staring at me.
I went up to the second floor with my bomu, and my chest straightened.
Hwang Byung-chul, Kang Hyung-suk, and Yang Sung-mo came first.
The Virgin Mary also looked haggard over recent events.
Hwang Byung-chul and Kang Hyung-suk also wore suits and ties, but they were awkward because they were not always wearing suits. Moreover, their suits were all ready-made.
But I wore a dazzling white shirt and a custom-made suit of high quality fabric, which made a difference.
Hwang Byung-chul made a fuss.
"The wedding hall is all bright with you coming."
"It's the bridegroom who's getting married today."
I congratulated new bride Lee Soo-chul.
Behind Lee Soo-chul stood the wreath I sent. It also had a ribbon named Choi Joon-sik, CEO of JS Invest Korea.
Lee Soo-chul quickly introduced his mother in hanbok next to him.
"Mom, this is the friend who is the president of the Yeouido investment company."
Su-cheol's mother smiled and held out her hand in white gloves.
"Thank you for coming."
Su-cheol's father, who was the factory manager, also reached out his hand.
It reminded me of Lee Soo-chul's trip to condo when he was in school.
Maybe it was because I had a sad feeling in my subconscious.
Lee Soo-chul, who lived in the same direction as me, would have been the only one who would have taken him out.
I couldn't study enough and was poor, so I didn't give it to him. At that time, thanks to Su-cheol's flattery, Seong-mo was able to go to the condo with her.
Lee Soo-chul's father thought he was quite a great man because he was a factory manager. I thought he was much more rich, taller, and louder than my father, who was walking around at the construction site of Changho.
By the way, I saw today that she was short and just an old lady and an old man in a corner.
"Congratulations."
I bowed politely and went where my friends were.
Seeing the bride keep smiling, she seemed to be dying of joy.
Lee Soo-chul smiled because he liked it. They seemed to be not nervous.
The bride doesn't look pretty, but I thought her face looked a lot like Lee Soo-chul. So I didn't know that it continued until marriage.
The ceremony was not even over, but Hwang Byung-chul poked me in the ribs.
"Let's get out!"
"The ceremony isn't over yet.
"What's the point of seeing it to the end? Let's get out."
"I'll be with you to take pictures of my friends later."
The bride's friends kept staring at me when I was taking pictures of the bride and groom.
said Hwang Byung-chul, poking me in the ribs.
"Hey, the bride's friends only look at you. It's because you're the most boisterous."
"Oh, come on!"
I said so, but I felt the bride's friends really look at me.
At the reception, the Virgin Mary drank a lot.
Hwang Byung Chul has dried up,
"Hey, stop drinking. Why do you drink that much during the day? I'm a drinker too, but I can't drink during the day!"
"Leave it. You eat it when you want to. Kang Hyung Suk! You must be having a hard time studying too, right? Have a drink."
"No, I can't. Just give me Jun-shik."
The Virgin Mary hesitated to pour soju.
"Not Jun-sik. I'm going into the office, so I shouldn't smell alcohol."
The Virgin Mary glanced at me like that.
We left the wedding hall.
"Where are you going?”
"Go to the subway station."
"I'll give you a ride to Sillim Station.”
My friends dawdled and followed me to the parking lot.
"Then Jun-sik, let's get in the car. Let's go talk in the car on the way."
When I pressed the auto key in front of Baimach, the car door opened.
"Get in!"
Friends were greatly surprised to see the flashing Benz Baimach.
"Get in!"
"Ee, is this your car?”
"Yes, it's my car."
My friends' faces suddenly hardened.
said the Virgin, riding in the front seat first.
"Yang Sung-mo is on the rise. I've been on all the Mercedes-Benz Maybach."
Kang Hyung-suk, who was riding in the back seat, said.
"What's the name of this car?"
"This is the Mercedes-Benz Baimah. Do you understand? You'll never get into a car like this in your life, even if you pass a hundred labor exams."
Hwang Byung-chul also said while riding in the back seat.
"That's really nice. How much did you pay?"
I did it without knowing anything.
"I don't know the price. It's a company car."
"Because you're the CEO, the company car is yours."
The car slipped out of the parking lot without any sound of engine and ran down the main road to Teheran-ro.
After a long while, the Virgin Mary said,
"Your office has a lot of staff."
"Yes, there are seven including me."
"Some of you are old. Who is that?"
"Oh, you mean Chang. He's a ten-year veteran of the stock firm. I'm the one who scouted because of fund sales.”
"Ten years at the securities firm? Then I'm pretty sure you know the owner of the operation stocks.
"He doesn't play ops. It's a solid blue-chip center. Currently, I only do over-the-counter stocks.”
asked Hwang Byung-chul, who was behind him.
"What's out-of-the-box?"
answered the Virgin Mary.
"I'm talking about shares in a company that hasn't been listed yet.”
"Huh, was there such a thing?"
"You're a drunkard! Don't care about anything else. There are a lot of people who failed in stocks!"
As the car passed through Yangjae Station, the Virgin Mary asked again.
"Is the woman who brought us green tea a secretary?"
"No, she's a woman in charge of general affairs. I got out of this university and..."
I was going to say that I was a certified laborer, but I quit because it seemed to provoke Kang Hyung-suk sitting in the back seat.
"Your company has a lot of talent. And the tall woman? You look pretty sophisticated."
"Oh, you mean Mr. Choi Yuna. She's in charge of overseas funds."
"Overseas funds? Do they do that, too?“
"She's a woman who used to work for a foreign financial company. I graduated from school in America, too. We currently sell overseas fund products, mainly investing in S&P500 stocks."
Friends became quiet again. Perhaps he didn't know the meaning of the S&P500.
I was going to explain the S&P500 index, but I quit. This is because they are not in a position to invest in overseas funds. Also, I didn't think it would go into my ears if I explained it for a long time.
I have now slowly changed the culture of the world in which my classmates and I play.
