The head of the law firm, Hua Chun, held his head to my front and asked.
"We received a return notice on the fund we entrusted last time."
The law firm, Hwacheon, had invested 15 billion won in JS Invest.
The money was the fourth fund operated by JS Invest.
The money had been distributed mainly to blue-chip unlisted companies.
"For higher returns, we need to operate more aggressively, which can lead to safety issues."
"Of course you will."
"So we have no choice but to make a conservative investment."
Conservative investment is good. We like to invest in safe assets. Isn't that why the chairman of G Group recognized Choi at a glance?"
"There's still a lot to be desired. But I'll work hard."
"The rate of return sent is certainly higher than the interest of the bank, and I am satisfied.”
"Thank you, Mr. President."
A pretty-looking woman, a secretary or a female employee, came in. I brought my car.
As I drank tea, I said.
"Well... and I'm getting married on February 25th after Lunar New Year."
"Oh, really? Congratulations. Give me your wedding invitation."
"The invitation hasn't come out yet."
"Then send it to me when it comes out. I don't know anyone else, but I have to go to Choi's wedding."
"Well, by the way, I'd like to ask you to officiate.”
"I don't usually officiate."
"I heard that many people in Gangwon-do stand for a bachelor in the countryside in Hwachon-myeon, Gangwon-do."
"I did it as a service because there's someone who can't officiate. And in Seoul, there are many cases where your father officiates these days. Ask your father for a favor. Wouldn't that be nice and nice?”
"My father can't speak well in public."
"What does your father do?”
"It's the Chang Ho Gong."
"Chang Ho Gong? You have a good job. I don't know who your father is, but I think he has a great son.”
"Yes?"
"No, I said it to myself."
"These days, you can have a wedding without officiating, but I'd like to ask you because I don't think such a wedding hall is decent."
"Haha. Mr. Choi is still young, but he has an old man's mind. All right, I'll be glad to officiate. I rarely officiate in Seoul, but I'll do it for you."
"Thank you."
I stood up again and bowed at a 90-degree angle.
"Did you say February 25?"
"Yes, it will be held at KBS Public Hall on February 25th at 12:00 p.
"KBS Open Hall? Looks like the bride's at the station."
"Yes, I'm an announcer."
"Oh, really? Who's the announcer?"
"I'm announcer Park Un-young."
"Oh, Park Un-young! Aren't you a pretty-looking announcer? I remember you because you said you were an announcer who graduated from Seoul National University. Congratulations!"
The representative reached out to me and shook my hand again.
I felt good because things seemed to go well.
The head of the law firm Hwacheon is a former head of the high court.
He is famous for his fastidiousness and covetous in political circles.
Although he was a son of a poor farmer due to a flood disaster in Hwacheon-myeon, Hongcheon-gun, Gangwon-do, he attended Seoul National University of Law and passed the bar exam at the top of his class.
If he ran for the National Assembly in his hometown, he would be elected unconditionally.
But he was only a man of the law. He was also a person who declined the government's offer of ministers.
The next day, I picked up three items.
It includes SillaJen and Hanjin Shipping and S Productions.
As ShillaJen is traded at a share price that falls short of the initial public offering price, Hanjin Shipping is expected to jump once during the court receivership period.
In addition, S Productions had been collecting new stocks for 52 weeks due to failed convertible bonds.
I have placed an order window on two monitors.
Some fund managers set up five or six monitors and trade, but I didn't do so.
I'm not a date-liner, so I don't really look at tick or divider charts. I usually only use two.
Also, I was using only two of them because it would be distracting to keep them on the air. One might see him as an amateur investor, not a pro. However, Chung and Song set up three units each and made a deal.
I went to lunch with General Manager Chang.
Jang said he wanted to eat sushi, so he went to a sushi restaurant.
Jang asked while eating the soup of Misoru, a Japanese doenjang soup.
"You seem to be trading hard these days. What kind of stocks do you trade? It's not a political theme stock, is it?
"We don't have a presidential theme stock."
I think Ban's theme-related stocks will fluctuate once he comes back to Korea. Another strong, Moon Jae-in, presidential candidate's craze, however will likely tumble. "
"I'm carrying SillaJen these days."
"Sinrazen? I don't think you're thinking about getting up under a public offering these days. Of course, if we hear the news of clinical success, we'll go wild."
"I'm not doing much, I'm trying to touch a little."
"You're such a big hand, so I think you'll have a lot of investment if you touch it a little bit."
"Not really."
"You're not a big Gangnam player in the fund industry, but you're known as a big Yeouido player."
"Is that so?"
"It's a sport with a lot of collagen, so I think it's going to run at least. I just don't know when."
"I think it's a low price now, so I'm putting it in."
"I'm right. Oh, and the CEO of Mogang Tech sent two boxes of boats. I'll put a box in your car. I'll share the rest with the staff."
"No, I eat both boxes in the office. I have them all at home."
I drank a cup of coffee after the meal and kept doing business.
While trading for a long time, I heard a knock in the president's office and deputy manager Kim Hyung-sook came in.
"I... need to leave early."
"Leaving early? Are you sick?"
"It's not that, but it looks like your father suddenly collapsed again."
"Really?"
"I think I'll have to go because I don't have a brother at home and I'm going to have a hard time alone."
"Then you should go now."
I signed an early leave request from Assistant Manager Kim Hyung-sook.
Kim Hyung-sook's family was filled with troubles.
We've been trading for a long time, but this time deputy Hong Ji-young came in.
I mowed my stomach and brought it to a plate.
"Mr. President, eat this and work. It's a ship from Mogang Tech."
"Thank you."
I was already thirsty because I was dealing with my nerves.
I ate a slice of the boat. The pear was unexpectedly sweet and delicious.
"The pear tastes good."
"Good, huh? It's a specialty of Anseong."
"Thank you for the meal."
"I'll report to you next week the pamphlet draft you ordered."
"Yes, take your time."
I also continued to buy S Production with SillaJen and Hanjin Shipping.
It continued trading until the closing price.
After the close of the market, we looked at the cumulative investment up to the present.
SillaJen invested 1.2 billion won, Hanjin Shipping 500 million and S Productions 300 million.
Of the cash I have now, two billion live ammunition was fired.
Hwang Byung-chul, who runs a business at Geumjeong Station, sent an interesting video through Kakao Talk.
I watched it alone and sent it to Eunyeong.
As if to reciprocate the video I sent, Eunyeong also sent me a video.
It was a scene where Eunyeong was talking to an economist.
I felt a little embarrassed.
[Won't Hwang Byung-chul's video call me childish?] I shouldn't have sent it! How gentle and academic is the content of an interview with an economist? I'm not sure if you're judging that I can't cheat on my background.]
I felt like I was selling nothing but chops.
A phone call came from Oh Dong-min, a city hall official.
"Happy New Year."
"Take a lot of it, too."
"Did I tell President Choi that I am the president of the alumni association of our school?”
"Is it a whole meeting?"
"There are a lot of people who can't reach, so there are only about 25 people gathered now."
"Is that so?"
"But there are so many people asking for your phone number. Can't you tell them.
I felt that if I were not close friends, I would do more harm than good.
The six friends I'm meeting now are sometimes too heavy, but I thought 25 would be more burdensome.
"Well... they haven't met for more than 10 years since graduation, so it's a bit awkward."
"By the way, I'm trying to make a 25-member Kakaotalk room, so can I include President Choi?”
"Do so."
"I'll try not to bother Choi whenever possible."
"Okay. Go ahead.“
After work, I went to Youngpoong Bookstore in IFC Mall and bought two books.
One book was called 'Know the Account to See the Money' and the other was 'Modern History of Korea Reading at Nights'.
It was all a basic book that anyone could read. I couldn't conceive of a major book deep in my ability.
After having dinner at home and reading a book, I came out to the living room and watched a foreign SF movie on cable TV. There is a drama made by Hwang Mi-na, but I didn't want to see it.
It's past 11 p.m. and I got a call. I found my friends drunk and phoned again.
But when I saw the caller, it was unexpectedly Jang.
Since the establishment of the company, Jang has never called me this late at night.
"It's me."
"Oh yes, General Manager."
"Sorry to call you late at night."
"No, what's the matter?"
"Not to mention, Assistant Manager Kim Hyung-sook's father died this evening."
"Oh, really?"
"I didn't know either, but I just got a call."
"I've heard that you're a little mentally ill..."
"I've heard that you've suffered quite a bit from cerebral apoplexy."
"Oh, that's too bad. I'm late today and I'll have to go to the funeral tomorrow evening. Which hospital is the funeral hall?”
"It's not a hospital, it's a funeral home in Bucheon."
"Buchon's funeral hall?”
"It's in Chunui-dong, Bucheon. I'll send you a harmony in the name of the boss."
"Yes, do it.”
"I'll be at the funeral tomorrow because it's late."
"Yes, go ahead."
When I hung up, my mom in the kitchen asked.
"Who's dead?”
Mom seemed to hear me talking to General Manager Chang.
"The father of the company employee passed away. She died of a stroke.”
"Electomy? That's a bad disease." It's a very bad disease because it has motor disorders and language disorders.”
"Is that so?"
"I'm sorry to say this to the deceased, but I'd rather die early for my children. There's no business in front of the bottle."
I came into my room and lay in bed.
I thought about acting manager Kim Hyung-sook, who always didn't talk.
It occurred to me that I would have always been worried because of my father with stroke and my brother with physical disability.
As my mother said, I didn't know if it was a good thing to go first for a living family.
