I got a call from Deputy General Manager Chang who is in Anseong.
"I signed an investment contract with the president of Mokang Tech."
"Really?"
"Mogang Tech CEO deposited 5 billion won into our corporate account in his personal name. Please check with Kim Hyung-sook, the accountant."
"Okay."
"And they want us to send 1 billion won to Morgang Tech's personal account via Kakao Talk. The money you have to hand over 300,000 shares of Morgang Tech."
"Okay, I'll let you go."
"I will send the account number to the boss's Kakaotalk. By the way, the account that will receive 1 billion won is the account of the president of Mogang Tech and his wife. The payee will be under the name of Yoo Eun-hye."
"You're saying a billion goes to your wife and then back to the Morgang Tech CEO. If something goes wrong and you're looking into it, it's not borrowed from me, it's borrowed from your wife."
"Haha, that's what you must have in mind."
"Okay. I'll send it right away. And there's a famous cow galbi restaurant in downtown Anseong, so go and eat the ribs with the chief Song."
"Thank you."
I would like to call Mr. Kim Hyung-sook in charge of accounting, who first came to my room.
"Well, sir. A person named Cho Il-ho sent 5 billion won to our corporate account. You sent a large sum of money personally, not as a group or institution. Do you happen to know the boss?"
The CEO of Mogang Tech took the form of investing 5 billion won in his own personal name, not a Mogang Tech company.
"The name Cho Il-ho will probably be the president of Mogang Tech. Check the contractor's name in the contract that the conductor brings tomorrow."
"Okay."
"The funds will be fund No. 5 and the conductor will invest somewhere. Just keep that in mind."
"Okay, sir."
While I was talking to Mr. Kim Hyung-sook, a message rang.
It was the account number sent by Vice Minister Chang.
I sent 1 billion won to the account whose recipient is Yoo Eun-hye.
It's Saturday.
It was the day of a gathering of friends at Hwang Byeong-cheol's store at Geumjeong Station.
"I'll drink a lot when I get there.”
I thought about taking the subway, but I didn't want to take it anymore.
If you do something wrong, you have to stand up and go without sitting in a chair. I hated it because it smelled and there were many vendors.
I've changed a lot since I made a lot of money.
It was not suitable to use public transportation because I was living in a pleasant environment at home or in the office.
I thought it's been quite a long time since I took a bus or subway.
When I lived in Sillim-dong, I took a full bus, took subway line 2, transferred again, and went to Myeonghak station by subway line 1. The memory of that time was vague.
I'm sorry but I forgot how much the bus fare or subway fare is now.
I headed for Geumjeong Station on Benz Mybach.
Hwang Byung-chul's shop was already crowded with friends.
It was still early, so the guest seemed to have only our team. I could hear the voice of the Virgin Mary.
"Hahaha, when I was in the detention center, I armwrestled all the kids in the cell. The younger ones called me "brothers" and the older ones called me "brothers."
The Virgin was still bragging about something.
Everyone got up as I walked in.
"You're the boss."
"The chief executive is always neat and tidy. It's so obvious you have money."
My friends led me to the center.
I used to have to squat in one corner, but now I was treated like a boss.
"It's St. Mary. Good work."
I shook hands with each of my friends, starting with the Virgin Mary.
Lee Soo-chul, who works for a paper company, came to Bundang, Oh Dong-min, a Seoul City Hall official, and Lee Hak-seon, who works for an information and communication company in Ansan.
Hwang Byung-chul, the owner of the store,
"All you have to do is come Kang Hyung-suk studying in Shillim-dong.”
Lee Soo-chul said, wiping his mouth with a wet towel.
"Kang Hyung-suk, it's too late to meet him."
"It's because he's always slow. That's why I can't pass the labor exam quickly.”
I changed the fire because my friends seemed to be personalizing Kang Hyung-suk.
"Sungmo, you've been in detention for more than two months, haven't you? You've had a hard time, haven't you?
"That's because it's frustrating, but it didn't take much trouble, it was comfortable because I kept the cellphones tight. A gangster with tattoos came in once and called me a big brother once.”
"Come on, Hyeong-seok isn't here, but let's have a drink to celebrate the release of the Virgin Mary."
We held the 500CC beer glass high.
Kang Hyung-suk came in while I was hitting a glass and taking a sip.
"Oh, I'm sorry! The traffic is backed up."
Lee Soo-chul shouted.
"Yusha, why are you so late! We've all been waiting.”
"I'm sorry."
"Put the bag off the chair at the end over there and sit down!"
Kang Hyung-suk was severely treated by his friends.
He appeared at the meeting less than five minutes ago, but he was severely treated.
Furthermore, when I came, all of my friends stood up and greeted me, but when Kang Hyung-suk came, no one stood up with his hands out.
I, a graduate of Gjap University, and Kang Hyung-suk, a graduate of In Seoul University, seemed to have changed their positions.
The friends began to chat loudly when a drink went in.
Oh Dong-min told the story of a civil petitioner at City Hall, while Lee Soo-chul took the head of a boss who was bossing around.
Seong-mo kept telling the story of his cell motive with pride, while Lee Hak-seon of Ansan told the story of his anger without anyone knowing it.
I thought to myself that these guys were really mean.
I didn't know that the behavior or language was changing without my knowledge because all the people around me were elites.
In the past, middle-class families and friends who graduated from In Seoul University looked envious, but today I was very attracted.
It seemed that each other's cultures were changing now.
Hwang Byung-chul brought a piece of paper and gave it to the Virgin Mary.
"It was signed by my friends when they were working on the bar bill. For your information, I have it.”
The paper said that Kang Hyung-suk paid 50,000 won for all 100,000 won and I paid the rest.
said the Holy Mother, shaking hands with me.
"Thank you, Choi Joon-sik."
"Thank you."
"But the lawyer, he says a few words and eats three million won."
I frowned. People seemed to be different when they went to the bathroom like this and when they came out.
"That's how cheap it is to hire a lawyer. And say thank you to your friends."
"Yes, thank you. Friends."
The Holy Mother bumped her glass into each of her friends' glasses.
Kang Hyung-suk said, "I'm sorry that I only wrote down 50,000 won when Sungmo hit his glass."
"It's all right. You're a studying fellow, what do you mean?"
store owner Hwang Byung-chul said.
"The criminal settlement was also paid by Choi, so pay it back quickly."
Oh Dong-min asked me.
"How much was the criminal settlement?”
"I've been diagnosed for six weeks, and I've agreed on six million won."
The Virgin said powerlessly.
"You have to pay the money back..."
I spoke clearly to the Virgin Mary.
"If you find it hard to pay it back at once, pay it back a little every month."
I actually don't have to take money from the Virgin Mary.
Because I benefited a lot from the Virgin Mary incident.
First, I visited Oh Mi-hyang because of the Sungmo case, and I met KBS announcer Park Un-young, who was thrilled to hear her name.
The second reason was that lawyer Bang received 5 billion won in funds from the head of the law firm, Hwachon, when he learned of the vice pastor of a large church through this case also attracted 5 billion won from the head of the law firm Hwachon.
It was I who should thank the Virgin Mary.
That little criminal settlement of 6 million won was for marketing. However, I felt that I should get what I had to get even if I gave something to them.
It was because if this distinction was not clear, human relations could rather become strange.
Oh Dong-min said, hitting the Virgin Mary on the shoulder.
"Yes, pay the money back quickly. If you work and pay back 500,000 won a month, I'll pay you back in a year."
Lee Hak-seon and Lee Soo-chul said.
"Revenge. No matter how much money Choi has, it's a friend's money, so pay it back." Just paying for a lawyer's appointment is a waste."
In addition to the criminal settlement, I had previously loaned to the Virgin Mary.
It didn't say it here.
The Virgin seemed to be looking at me for fear of the sound.
Hwang Byung-chul, the owner of the store, brought back 500CC beer glasses and snacks.
Lee Soo-chul gave Kang Hyung-suk a pint.
"How come you don't drink and just scoop up your food?"
"He, yes. I'll drink."
"Empty out a glass and ask Mr. Choi for a drink."
"Oh, okay."
I said, pushing the chicken winged side dish to the Virgin Mary.
"What are you going to do now?”
"I haven't decided yet. I feel like I'm old enough to work at a cell phone store. Also, cell phone shops are very competitive with each other. So I'm thinking about doing something in China.”
"Are you trying to sell? That should be worth the money, right?”
Next to him, Lee Hak-sun gave me a lecture.
"Hey, where would you go if you couldn't speak Chinese? Even the flying and the long ones are all broken in China!
"There was an offer from a Korean-Chinese man to take off his clothes or accessories in China and sell them online."
"Chosun? Don't trust them."
"I know someone in Shanghai. He's from Shanghai Securities Co. I met my brother when I went to a company called Mogang Tech in western China. I've been in China since I was young, so there's someone who speaks Chinese the same as a Chinese. He's the one who recommended it.”
When the word "Mogang Tech" came out, I felt a prick inside.
It was because I recently had a business deal with the president of Mogang Tech.
I asked.
"What is the size of the Mogang Tech Chinese plant? Big?"
"Yes, it was big. The facilities were amazing. I heard that the line only moved on one side when I went, but now it's all working.”
"Do you still keep in touch with the Shanghai employee who says you speak Chinese well?”
"Yes, call me from time to time. I couldn't contact you when I was in the cell, but I keep in touch now. They're coming to Korea in the summer, so I'm going to guide them."
I remembered the fact that I played with a Chinese visa.
It occurred to me that maybe I could go to China if I lost my job as an employee of a securities company in Shanghai. It occurred to me that I could attend the Davos Forum in Tianjin, as Chang said.
"I'm actually thinking of going to Tianjin once."
"In Tianjin? Why in Tianjin?"
"Because there's a Davos Forum. To learn about the world's trends, you should listen to stories coming out of such forums."
Oh Dong-min, who attends City Hall, opened his eyes wide.
"Davos Forum? You have to be a mayor or a governor to be invited there, and you're going to be there?"
"No. I'm not attending. I'll meet the reporters there and listen to their stories. Listening to reporters can be more helpful in understanding information. I know a reporter.”
"Really? You have wide feet. The reporters know."
"I don't know. I'm just being introduced and having a drink in Tianjin. I need to know the world trends in fund management. Moreover, our fund company runs an overseas fund.”
"Overseas funds?"
The gathered friends suddenly seemed to look at me with respect.
300,000 shares in rotation.
