The chairman kept his eye on me.
It seemed to me that I had come to argue about the recent fall in stock prices.
There was a distinct tension in his face.
"Are you sure you have 100,000 shares? "I don't think I've seen it on the stockholder's list..."
"It's probably not on the shareholder list. It would have been found to have 10,000 shares. 100,000 shares were purchased during the closure of the shareholder list."
"Oh, really?"
The chairman smiled a little.
If it was a purchase during the closure period, it was bought at a low price, so there was nothing to argue with him about the loss.
Closing the list of shareholders means suspending changes to the list of shareholders for a certain period of time ahead of the shareholders' meeting.
A company that is about to hold a general meeting of shareholders shall recognize only those listed on the list of shareholders at that time as the standard date. This is to use the criteria for granting voting rights or the power to exercise their rights at the General Assembly.
It is impossible for a person who has invested in stocks during the closure to exercise his property rights.
In other words, a person who is not registered as a shareholder cannot make a loan from a bank with his or her shares as collateral.
The chairman called the accounting manager over the company phone.
"Manager Kim? I'm the chairman. You should come to my room. We have a visitor."
The chairman was so annoyed that he seemed to call for a head talk.
I said politely.
"You don't have to call the officiant. I'm thinking about buying another million shares because I think we're running out of stock."
A million shares were worth more than 3 billion won.
The chairman opened his eyes wide with rain. I looked down and up.
How can a young man have three billion cash? It seemed to do.
I took out my business card and supported it with both hands and handed it to the chairman.
"It's my business card. Anytime, if you need me, please contact me."
The chairman saw my business card.
"J.S. Invest? Oh, he's in a private equity fund!”
The alert seemed to be fading from the chairman's face.
"I'll be going now, then."
I bowed politely to the chairman at a ninety-degree angle.
"Wait!"
The chairman also picked up an in-house phone and called someone.
"You, come here."
The boss hung up and said, looking me in the face.
"I called the president. The boss is my son, and I think we should at least say hello to him since he's here."
I felt the chairman's interest in me.
A young man came in.
It wasn't the face of the president I saw at the shareholders' meeting earlier. It seemed to be a subject matter.
"Did you find it? Chairman."
"Yes, that's enough. You've got to go."
The chairman beckoned the hostess to leave. Judea glanced at my face and quietly closed the door and went out.
The chairman recommended a seat.
"Sit down."
"No, it's done."
While talking to the chairman, the boss came in. He was the one who knocked on the baton at the shareholders' meeting.
"Say hi. He's the president of a private equity firm from Seoul."
I bowed politely to the boss.
"Nice to meet you for the first time. My name is Choi Joon-sik."
Then I gave my business card to the boss. The boss took out his business card and gave it to me, reaching out his hand.
"Nice to meet you."
After shaking hands, the boss slowly looked at my business card.
"You're in Yeouido."
"Yes, it is."
The chairman looked at the president and said,
"Take this guest to your room and serve him some warm tea. You came all the way here on purpose."
"Okay."
I went to the president's room under the guidance of the president.
The boss asked me to sit on the sofa and made my secretary prepare green tea.
I spoke frankly to the boss.
"I had 10,000 shares before the closing of the shareholder list. As the stock price was perceived as low, we bought a small amount during the closing period and secured 100,000 shares.
"Oh, is that so?"
"I was thinking about securing another million shares when the stock price was low, unless the factory was operating properly and there was no fear of going bankrupt.“
"Well, you were planning to."
The boss nodded when he heard my story.
"How's the factory going?"
"I can give you a field tour if you want. Each line is working fine. There's a factory this big in China, and it's working fine."
"I heard at the shareholders' meeting that the chairman lent the private money he sold the shares to the company as a short-term loan. In this regard, I respect you as a manager."
"Haha, your father loves this factory like a child. He started out as a small store in Yeongdeungpo when he was young."
"What a great man."
The secretary brought her car. The boss took a sip of tea and said,
"The company is doing well and the employees are motivated, but we can`t guarantee when it will rise because the stock price depends on the supply and demand of the market. But even if you get a million shares, it's not going to be a big deal because the stock is so low."
"Wouldn't you press more at the major shareholder GMGset?"
"I don't know, but I've already become the largest shareholder and I'm not going to press it that hard."
"Shall we?"
"I don't think that's going to happen on purpose. Only..."
"What's the catch?"
"The question is whether today's newly elected registered board member will interfere with management at every board meeting in the future."
I quickly remembered the sight of Kim Yoon-hwan of GMG Set tapping on the back of the chairman.
When the president saw this, I thought he might have had a fever inside.
I got up from my seat.
"Cha, thanks for the drink. Please feel free to contact us if you need us."
"Okay, thanks for coming."
The boss reached out his hand and shook hands.
I used to feel intimidated when I came into a factory like this when I was working at a factory in Myonghak Station.
The client had a factory that was a little smaller than here, but even when he met a substitute worker, he was flattering.
My boss, who went to supply with me, also flattered me just by looking at his client's deputy. He died when he was a section chief.
But now that I only hang out with the president level, I thought I had developed a lot in just a few years. People who used to work at a factory in Myeonghak Station would say that loach has become easier if they see me now.
By the time I returned to Seoul, Kim Yoon-hwan of EMG Set, who came to the vicinity of Yangjae Station in Seoul, called Mangani of G Group.
"I'm Mr. Kim. Mo Kang Tech's shareholders' meeting ended well. Everything on the agenda has been passed according to the original plan.”
"The bastard sent as a general manager must have done the right thing."
"You did a good job. The chairman raised his hand and stood up and said, as if he were going to fall."
"Did you give me some pocket money?"
"Then I gave it."
"You'll be chairman when the board of directors meets in the future."
"Right. Shall we slowly get ready to kick out the current management?"
"I think you'd better leave it still. I think he's good at management.”
"What are you good at?" Do the good guys have so many debts and let the Chinese factory stop its Chinese lines?"
"Ha-ha, that's the case."
"Shall we make capital increase next time the board meeting is held?"
"In capital increase?"
"The paid-in capital increase. How about offering a paid-in capital increase in shareholder allocation to lower the debt ratio?”
"That's right. The current chairman or president can't afford a capital increase based on the share ratio. Won't you give up capital increase? Then we'll have higher rates and they'll be more powerless."
"The stock price is much lower than it is now. That's what we're after."
"As expected, you're smart."
"When the notes run out, let's sweep them up again. And in about six months or so, let's make a few upper limits and make some pocket money."
"Good luck!"
"The owners of this world are us. Lobsters and carp won't keep up with us in our next life."
"Hahaha. Shall I ask Talent Zhang and Jung to come this evening? In commemoration of the end of the shareholders' meeting?"
"Okay, let's go to that nightclub where the singer set up and have a good drink."
It became the trial of the Virgin Mary.
I left the office a little early.
The parking lot was full in western Seoul. It seemed like an auction day.
I parked my car in a nearby paid parking lot and slowly walked to court.
"Brother!"
When someone called, I looked back and found out that he was the sister of the Virgin Mary.
The Virgin Mary's younger brother was born with the Virgin Mary and a total bungeoppang. There were signs of hardship on his face as he lived through hardships. Mother and sister introduced her mother.
"It's my mom."
The mother of the Virgin Mary was very short.
Still, I don't know how they can give birth to big sons with such small bodies when they are over average height.
"Hello, I'm a friend of the Virgin Mary."
The mother of the Virgin Mary grabbed my hand.
"I heard you put a lot of effort into my child's work. Thank you."
I know that the Virgin Mary, as poor as I am, was so eager to make a lot of money that she turned to stocks.
I was also poor, so I used to touch stocks.
A poor man always fails ahead of his greed. The results came as the company pursued short-term results.
How could I have made money without Grandma Baek's help?
Now that I have a lot of hands-on experience in stocks, I don't lose them often, but I thought I would have been in the same position as the Virgin Mary without Grandma Baek's help.
As time approached, lawyer Bang appeared with a briefcase.
And a brother who knew the Virgin Mary appeared with all kinds of impressions on his face.
"Yang Sung-mo's mom is here too. Would you like to say hello?"
Lawyer Bang waved his hand.
"No thanks. You don't have to say hello."
A brother who knew the Virgin Mary also said he didn't want to say hello.
"I don't want to look at the faces of the people of the house."
We went into court.
The court had earlier been pushed back whether the trial had taken time. Twenty minutes later, the Virgin Mary appeared and sat on the front chair.
The judge called his name.
When the bisexual mother answered and went out, the judge asked some questions.
When Yang Sung-mo's brief question was over, the judge called his acquaintance.
"Is victim Choi Jae-hwan here?"
A brother who knew the Virgin Mary answered and went out.
The judge asked a few questions to his brother who knew the Virgin Mary.
It was a short question to say yes or no.
Lawyer Bang emphasized that the overwork used by the Virgin Mary was not prepared in advance, but was always in the office kitchen. He also claimed accidental crimes committed in anger after losing money.
A brother who knew the Virgin Mary muttered in a low voice.
"Hung! Do you always stab people with a knife when you're angry?"
There was the prosecutor's argument.
The prosecutor was a young woman. The prosecutor claimed that the Holy Mother's holding of the knife was unintentional in the murder, even if it was accidentally caused by a momentary impulse.
"The defendant would say that he recognized or predicted the possibility or risk of the victim's death due to his actions. Therefore, we cannot accept the above claims of the defendant and his lawyer, as we can at least admit that the defendant had an unwritten intention of murder."
I thought the prosecutor, who looked younger than me, should have looked at me, was too cold.
I thought only Oh Mi-hyang was hit by cold water, but the test here seemed to be worse.
Are all women who study hard and become successful like that?]
I thought there was an old prosecutor's office, but it wasn't.
The judge spoke of the next trial schedule and called the name of the person on trial in another case.
We all left the courtroom.
The mother of the Virgin Mary was busy wiping away her tears with a handkerchief.
My brother, who knew the Virgin Mary, spoke to lawyer Bang in a cheek-ment.
"Do I have to appear again on the next trial?"
"Do it on your own."
Lawyer Bang was as cold as a prosecutor.
Cupid's arrow
