I headed for Hannam-dong.
The person who sold the house was a businessman in Southeast Asia.
I wondered why this man would sell the house.
By the time we arrived in Hannam-dong, Lee Won-kyu called me.
"Where are you coming now?"
"We're here. We're getting a signal at the Hannam intersection."
"Okay."
In the real estate office, Lee Won-kyu and an unfamiliar man were sitting.
It was a man who grew sideburns and wore sun graze.
Although he was an old man in his late fifties, he was quite a dandy.
Lee Won-kyu said with a smile on his eyes.
"He's the owner who sells the house."
The man glanced at me and refused to reach out for a handshake.
When I bowed my head, the man greeted me equally.
"Hello?"
I also said hello to the president of this real estate office sitting at a corner desk.
This was the man I had seen before.
Lee Won-kyu continued to smile with his eyes.
"The boss here doesn't sell for less than 3.4 billion won."
I didn't want to give all 3.4 billion won. I looked for any trouble.
"I'm sorry, but can I see the house?"
"Apartment structure. Isn't it all the same?"
When I asked to look around the house, I didn't like it very much.
I said.
"How can I sign a contract if I don't pay 3.4 billion won to buy a house?"
The sideburns hesitated for a moment and then called somewhere.
"I am. Someone who wants to buy a house now wants to see it. I'll be there in 15 minutes."
I said with a sorry look on my face.
"You must be a family, right?" Sorry to bother you."
"No, it's okay."
I followed my sideburns.
The apartment complex was really spacious and nice.
The property owner was in a state of disarray as I looked around in the complex.
"It's just pleasant. This site is 34,000 pyeong in total. But the land is so large because it's 600 households in 32 dong.“
"Hmm."
"The landscaping rate alone is 36%. Is there another place like this in Seoul?"
"I do, but..."
The real estate owner bragged about his apartment again when I made the look I thought.
"This is where entertainers prefer their first-class places."
"What's good about celebrities? It's loud when the fans come."
"I'm aigo. Security guards strictly block outsiders from entering. It's completely closed to outsiders."
The apartment with sideburns was on the fifth floor.
The apartment was really spacious and colorful. When I came to the Zai apartment in Dorim-dong after living in Daldong, Sillim-dong, it looked like a palace, but it was different here.
The marble floor was literally shiny inside.
A woman in her 50s appeared.
She was an old lady but quite a beauty.
I looked around the apartment. There was a big picture hanging on the wall of the living room. It was a picture taken by two couples with their daughters. Her daughter was also a girl group-level beauty.
Under the picture were two orchids blooming and large Areca palm showing off its luxuriant foliage toward the veranda.
Most apartments had large TV sets in the living room, which had golf putting practice facilities.
The hostess kept staring at me.
I glared here and there to catch anything, but there was nowhere to be found.
said the hostess.
"It's very convenient to live. How many members do you have in your family?“
I mumbled to my aunt's question. It was difficult to call them newlyweds.
"I'm a married couple, but sometimes I get visitors and I look for a bigger flat surface."
"Well, I like it here. We have four rooms and three bathrooms."
"I know that."
"The apartment also has a fitness center, sauna, and swimming pool, so you don't have to go outside."
I said, looking out of the living room.
"But the view is a little..."
"I didn't hear the view was bad. Of course, it's not the Han River view.”
"But where do you move if you put your house out?”
"I'm going to America. My daughter is studying design in the United States and she wants to buy a country house there."
"I see."
I was heartbroken but pretended not to like it.
It wasn't long after the apartment was built, but the lady seemed to have managed it well.
She was like a lady with a sense of beauty.
We came back to the real estate office.
Lee Won-kyu whispered in my ear.
"That's very well managed. I think you have a good sense. I don't have a speck of tea in the house."
"I do, but... ..but I don't think it'sir.
"Mr. President, we don't have a Han River view here, but that's the best."
"But..."
I was pushing myself now.
"The 65 pyeong is not very big here, so I'm leaving quickly. Grab it when it comes out."
I came back to the real estate office, solemnly folded my arms and said nothing.
Lee Won-kyu smiled and told me again.
"I'm sorry sir, but would you like to smoke? I have something to discuss with the boss who's been selling."
I knew Mr. Lee Won-kyu would bargain.
I let out a dry cough and came out.
I was in the car for a while because I wasn't a smoker.
About 10 minutes later, Lee Won-kyu came out of the real estate office.
"You cut 20 million won. I can't do anything less than 3.38 billion."
"Hmm."
"Mr. President, if you can, you can sign a contract. The property owner here also has a lot of people waiting to buy 65 pyeong."
"Okay, I'll sign."
"Well thoughted."
Lee Won-kyu and I went back to the real estate office.
Lee Won-kyu also smiled with his eyes and said to the sideburns.
"The boss here agreed to 3.38 billion won. Then I'll draw up a sales contract."
Lee Won-kyu took out the documents.
"Then I'd like to ask you two to give me your IDs."
The sideburns asked me while Mr. Lee Won-kyu was writing a contract for sale.
"What does the boss do now?”
I gave him my business card and said,
"I work for a private equity firm in Yeouido."
The sideburns smiled as if they knew nothing about my business card. Then he gave me his business card. It was a business card in English.
"I do business in Malaysia."
The business card in English was written as Textile Company, so it seemed like a person who ran a textile factory.
"You have a textile factory."
"We are all U.S. exporters."
"The factory must be big?"
"It's not big. We have about 2,000 employees."
"Two thousand is a big company."
I smiled as if I was happy to hear that it was a big company.
"As you may have heard, the house will be empty early February after Lunar New Year."
"Yes, I know."
The property owner was sitting at his desk and raised his head and said,
"February 5 and 6 are handless days."
The sideburns looked at my face and said,
"I'll leave you on February 6th. Please prepare the balance by then."
"Okay, I will."
I thought February 6th was enough. Because my wedding was on February 25th.
I was happy to sign an apartment contract.
After arriving home, I walked to Dorim Market with only one Parker on top of my sportswear.
I went to a chicken restaurant and ordered a draft beer.
I have purchased dozens of apartments through JS development.
However, I felt good when I went in and found a place to live, even though I thought living in a corporation was just so-so I felt good.
The Zai apartment in Dorim-dong, where I live now, was fine, but I felt uncomfortable when I dragged Benz Maybach around here. It was because luxury foreign cars were not common in this neighborhood.
However, if I go to Hannam The Hill, I don't think I need to be embarrassed.
It was because there were many high-end Dongnaei cars where many top-class Korean celebrities live.
Lee Won-gyu called me while I was drinking a cool draft beer.
"Mr. President. You like the apartment, don't you?”
"I'd rather be with someone than me.”
"Living is a good neighborhood."
"But the guy who's going to the factory in Southeast Asia is really going to America?“
"I think we're going to America. But he buys an apartment in Banpo."
"Really?"
"So he asked me to catch the Sinbanpo Remian Palace 34 pyeong."
"Did you?"
"Lemian Palace is clean because it was completed this year. He says he likes real estate investment here more than the U.S., so he's going to have one."
"I guess it's because when you come to Seoul, you need to stay there when you're living, right?" How much is Lemian Palace?"
"The 34 pyeong now costs 1.6 billion."
"I'll buy half the house."
"The rest of the money goes to California in the U.S. to buy a country house. They said 1.5 million dollars would buy a good country house."
I thought the sideburns were quite something.
I don't know if I have more money or less, but I have a new apartment in Banpo, Gangnam, Seoul, and a rural house in California.
In addition, the textile factory in Malaysia has 2,000 employees, which is expected to be significant.
When I was in high school, I thought Oh Dong-min and Lee Soo-chul were rich, but they seemed to be nothing more than chives compared to sideburns.
Perhaps because of Oh Dong-min, the Kakaotalk chat room that Oh Dong-min made often rang.
There were usually many political fake news and porn. There were also many Ilbe-level writings.
I think it's because it's a room with only men.
The most gentle Kakaotalk was a music video.
But I don't watch fake news or video clips.
I just clicked it for the first time and deleted it immediately because the contents were vulgar and boring.
I don't even reply to fake news or videos posted by anyone.
However, Oh Dong-min called me because he was thinking about whether there was telepathy.
Oh Dong-min didn't even look at me when he was in school, but he recently came in and tried hard to approach me. Also, you seemed to be careful with me a lot.
"It's me, Dong-min. Did you get off work?"
"I did."
"Is the phone okay?”
"It's all right."
"It's annoying to have a chat room made, right? 'Cause sometimes the kakaotalk rings.'
"No, I'm fine."
"Hey, guys, you're such a sucker, you're posting a lot of cheesy videos. Do you want me to cut them?"
Oh Dong-min was insinuating to me that he was not childish and had a high standard.
"Well, you don't have to. Because it's men."
"Thank you for understanding. Actually, Choi should be the chairman of our group, but I think it's strange."
I jumped up and down. I was the one who disliked it.
"No, no. You're the only one who's qualified. You were a class president when you were in school and you have leadership skills. What's more, isn't this an official of the city hall in charge of living in the capital Seoul?"
Oh Dong-min seemed to have a better sense of management than a ninth-grade civil servant.
"Haha, do I live alone in Seoul City Hall?"
"Oh, I heard the woman you broke up with is calling back?"
"Yes, since I started dating district officials, I'm getting a call from a woman who broke up."
"You have a lot of luck."
"Girls! They're both chaps compared to Omi.”
I thought Oh Dong-min still had Oh Mi-hyang in mind.
"Oh Mi Hyang is married, isn't she?"”
"If you have a good girl, introduce her to me. Last time I went to your office, I saw only beautiful women."
At first glance I thought of Assistant Manager Kim Hyung-sook, but soon shook my head.
It occurred to me that it would not go well with Oh Dong-min, a ninth-grade civil servant who is far from business.
