The staff all clung to the computer and turned on their eyes.
All were weighing the timing of the sale, checking the balance of the upper limit.
I left the office quietly.
And I went to the Conrad hotel sauna next to it.
I haven't told anyone but I have membership in the Conrad Hotel Fitness Club. It is a premium membership.
The membership is a top-notch brand membership that ordinary people can't even think about.
I paid 42.5 million won in deposit and 3.48 million won in annual membership fee.
The fitness club on the eighth floor of the Conrad Hotel has a swimming pool, a gym and a golf course.
There is even a spa on the ninth floor.
I sometimes come here to cool my head and make new ideas.
It was great to have such a hotel facility next to the International Finance Center where our office is located.
Yeouido has numerous employees of financial companies and large corporations.
They never had such expensive memberships as I did or had a day off.
So it was relatively quiet during the day.
If I marry Eunyeong, I was determined to give her a premium membership here.
Today, I put my neck out in the sauna and was lost in meditation.
And I pondered over what Choi Yuna said.
"If it's a mom cafe in Gangnam, there will be many young mothers. How many people will come together if we introduce overseas funds investing in American stocks?"
I think there are 25,000 Mom Cafe members, but I thought there would be a few thousand people who are actually active.
In addition, less than 100 participants were expected to attend a briefing session on overseas funds.
They were interested in making money by investing in U.S. stocks, but they seemed to feel burdened because the fund had to put in a lot of money.
In fact, few people would entrust us with the money.
I wondered if I could invite a popular male celebrity to the ladies and have a presentation.
I remembered the actor who starred in the drama "Dangerous Couples" that Hwang Mi-na had already.
With thick eyebrows and a short nose, I thought that this actor looked like a parasite and didn't like it, but women might like it. If Hwang Mi-na goes through, I thought I could pay for her.
In the drama, she appeared as a partner of the heroine Zhang, but it was worth bringing her in because it was not long after the drama was over.
And since it is hard to get funds with a minimum unit of 500 million won, I thought that if I put my own fund under the Mother Fund, I could attract more people.
Originally, a fund refers to a part of a family fund, which refers to a unit-type investment trust that recruits a certain amount of money from investors every month.
Usually, the equity fund is incorporated into the separate fund's beneficiary certificates instead of directly operating them. And the actual operation was a pooled fund from this fund.
I got out of the sauna quickly.
After putting lotion on my face and drying my hair, I went to the rest room. I called Hwang Mi-na here.
"Director Hwang? I'm Choi Joon-sik."
"Oh my! What are you doing, Mr. Choi?"
"Can I take the phone?"
"I'll get back to you in five minutes."
"Okay."
I guessed that Hwang Mi-na was filming now.
I felt a little sorry for calling when I was busy.
Hwang Mi-na didn't call five minutes later, she did 15 minutes later.
"Oh, Mr. Choi. I'm sorry!"
"No, I'm sorry I called you when I was busy."
"There was a shoot, and it's over now. Is something good going on?"
"Not a good thing. Let me ask you something."
"Yes, go ahead."
"It's nothing else, but I'm going to gather young mothers in Gangnam and have an overseas fund briefing."
"You want me to come there? Ho-ho, I don't have any money."
"No, you know the male lead from dangerous couples in the drama? I'm going to invite the actor."
"The actor?"
"I'm just coming and saying hello. I'm just going to give a congratulatory speech for the presentation. Of course, we'll pay for it."
"You're a star-studded celebrity, so you have to pay a lot of money for once."
"How much do I owe you?"
"You'll have to pay me 10 million won. A famous comedian once appeared and received 6 million won. He's handsome, so it'll be popular if he goes.”
I thought that if I had several subscribers among the members of Mom Cafe, I would be able to get the money right away.
"Okay, I'll give you 10 million won."
"Okay. Let me talk to the actor. I'm sure she's resting because she's not assigned to her next work."
"Sorry to bother you."
"No, I'm glad I can give you the image that I take care of you a lot."
"Thank you."
"But it would be more appealing if he said that he didn't just go and give a congratulatory speech, but that dangerous couples in the drama were funded by J.S. Invest.”
"Huh? Our fund has never funded a dangerous couple."
"Why, you did? Mr. Choi was able to make it by investing 2 billion won personally, right? You should use such good ingredients. Ho Ho Ho Ho."
"Well, let's do that."
"I'll make the congratulatory speech short. Instead, it would be more natural for the actor to come to the fund company that supported his drama and give a congratulatory speech."
"Go, thank you."
"Send the person in charge to S Networks by 11 a.m. tomorrow. I have to write an appearance contract."
"Okay, I'll send it with a down payment."
"Okay. Ho Ho Ho Ho."
I got out of the sauna lounge and had an elegant meal by myself in the hotel.
I looked at the clock and it was already past 2 p.m.
I went to JS Invest office in Yeouido International Finance Center.
It was good at this time of day because the elevator was not crowded.
The building was crowded during rush hour and lunchtime as many companies moved in. So I avoided this time of day as much as possible.
In the office, Jung and Song were chatting.
The conductor was away from work, as if he had been away from work.
Chief Song and chief Jung jumped up when they saw me coming into the office.
There was a smile hanging around his mouth.
[They must have eaten a few pennies.]
I asked, thinking, with a gentle smile.
"What happened?"
"We've sold them because we think it's going to be difficult."
"All three events?”
"Yes."
"I think it's going to be a lot of personal gain rather than a real profit from an uniqueness account. I think it's over 40%, no?"
"Hehe, I ate 46% off the commission. Thank you, sir."
"Then how much did you spend on seed money of 20 million won?
"It's 29.2 million won."
"Congratulations on your profit."
"We'll buy lunch for the office staff tomorrow."
"What happened to the company's unique account?"
"We sold them at a 35% increase in commission fees."
"Then how much is it?"
"7.2 billion won came to 9.72 billion won."
"Please transfer 20 million won to the company's operating fund account held by Kim Hyung-sook."
"Okay."
"And put the remaining 9.7 billion in funds for operating your own account."
"Okay."
"The securities account in the high oil account is the operating fund and the account in which Kim Hyung-sook has the operating funds."
"I know."
"Then how much is it because Song and Jung each have a 5% stake in their own account?"
Manager Jung quickly picked up the electronic calculator on the desk and made the calculation.
"It's 485 million won."
"What do you do? This is much better than the employees of a large company?"
"Well, it is."
They could find their shares worth 485 million won if the company disbanded tomorrow. I was lucky to have met the boss well.
Jung and Song said with a serious look.
"Thanks to you. Thank you."
"No, that's where your abilities are. By the way, Jang must have sold all his stocks and went out to work, right?”
"We sold them at the same time. The profit margin will be the same as ours."
"You knew we had our own accounts in order, didn't you?”
"Yes, I did. I put my own account in order because Mr. Chang sent a signal."
"I see. Thank you for your hard work."
I went to the water purifier in the office and made coffee in a paper cup.
As she went into the president's office with coffee, she called in Choi Yuna and Hong Ji-young.
Two people entered the president's office.
I sat in the table chair instead of in my desk chair.
"Please sit in front of both of you."
Two people sat in front. And they looked at my hand holding a paper cup of coffee. Because in my hand the coupling ring was exceptionally shiny.
"Is the Mom Cafe investor relations session in place?”
"We haven't confirmed it yet. I was worried that the number of participants would be smaller than expected, so I couldn't sign the contract. So I'm thinking of doing it at the Gangnam Station meeting area, which has a seminar room for about 20 people."
"Is there a good place near Gangnam Station to make it big?"
"There are. Big companies' investor relations sessions are held in the Meritz Tower auditorium."
"Why don't we do it there?"
"The Amoris Hall can accommodate hundreds of people, but rent is expensive and it's a disaster if no one comes."
"Wouldn't more people gather if we invited famous singers or Talent?”
"Well, that's possible, but you don't come because they tell you to come."
"You know the last drama that aired, dangerous couples, right?”
"I know. I enjoyed watching it, too."
"What do you think of the actor who played the male lead there?"
"Oh, how do you cast such an actor? It's going to cost a lot of money, and I'm not going to come."
I said, drinking the last coffee left in the paper cup.
"Listen to me from now on."
Two people looked at me with rabbit eyes.
"book the Meritz Hotel Amoris Hall. And hit an ad in the economic magazine. An advertisement for an overseas investment briefing. I'll tell Kim Hyung-sook, the accountant, to help me with all the expenses."
Two people opened their eyes wide and swallowed their saliva.
"And meet the mom cafe operators and treat them to a meal and put your pocket money in an envelope. I could send you a full e-mail."
"Okay."
"And tomorrow, go to S Networks, where you make the drama, and meet general director Hwang Mi-na. Please be there by 11 a.m. I made the call."
"What? Writer Hwang? You're the one who created dangerous couples in the drama."
"That's right. He said he would introduce the male lead in dangerous couples in the drama."
"He, is he?"
Choi Yu-na and Hong Ji-young were surprised and met face to face.
"He'll come out and give us a congratulatory speech at our presentation."
"Is that so?"
