There were a lot of people getting off at Yeouido Station in the morning.

As financial firms gathered around here, people also gathered.

The faces of those going to work today were brighter, perhaps because the weather was getting warmer.

J.S. Invest employees gathered in the conference room with coffee today.

I told Chang.

"It looks like the weather's gotten a little warmer, isn't it?”

"I think so. But won't Daehan give a cold spell on the day after tomorrow?"

"We're in a state-of-the-art IFC building, but people who work outside will have a lot of trouble."

Chang looked at Hong, who was drinking coffee, and said,

"Are you going out to Gwanghwamun again this Saturday?"

"I have to get out."

"You say the Saenuri Party is about to reinvent itself? They say they change our name, logo, and color."

"Huh! I'll tell him to change it!"

I asked General Manager Chang.

"Oh, what is Mr. Ban doing now? I think it's been five days since I came back."

"I think you're thinking about it."

"Why?"

"I'm afraid I have to pay for all the money and the organization by myself to come out as an independent. However, joining the existing political party is not an easy decision to make due to the weak cause of political change.”

"In the end, it's going to be a problem."

"The conservative parties say they are waiting to see if Ban will reach out first because of practical issues."

"Well, that's what happens.”

"Everyone has different ideas in their heads."

"What do you think the market will be like today?"

"Well, Samsung's slowing down, so I think it's going to end up flat."

"Is that so?"

"True securities authorities have announced that Hanjin Shipping's stock price, which may have gone bankrupt, has tripled, requiring investor caution."

At this remark, Jang and I smiled face to face.

[Everyone's getting out of here, so be careful.]

"You can't go in now. It's not a towel, it's a bomb."

"Securities authorities say the surge is the result of a gathering of speculators trying to make a very short profit."

"Did the speculators come in? Or do existing shareholders expect bankruptcy and sell it?”

Zhang said with a smile.

"Haha, I can't tell that either."

I ended up laughing, too.

Chung said.

The volatility of the bond market is likely to increase this year. It is said that the bond market stabilization fund will be restarted for fear of difficulties in raising corporate funds.“

"It looks like it's because of the rising interest rate, and how much is it going to be issued?"

This time, Song said.

"Private banks issue 4.72 trillion won."

"Well, would that not affect the stock market?"

Chang said.

"There will be a situation in which someone who invests in securities will go to buy bonds, but will that have a big impact on the stock market?"

Assistant Manager Kim Hyung-sook said.

"J.S. Invest's last year's settlement isn't over yet, but the outline is out.“

Everyone pricked up their ears.

"The total sales amount is a little over 5 billion."

Hong said.

"Dear! Is that all?"

Chang said.

"No! It's a lot!”

Assistant manager Kim Hyung-sook continued.

"Of course, the combined assets of G001 Fund and G002 Fund are now 147.2 billion. Next year, G Electronics and G Development's dividends or Mogang Tech's dividends will be much higher than this year's. And our interest income on Pitestech will also grow on sales."

Hong said.

"You don't have to be audited because you're short on sales."

Our company has a lot of assets, so we have to be audited by the outside and under the direction of the FSS. If you have more than 10 billion assets, you're subject to external audit."

"But you made a lot of money from your own account last time, right?"

"It's capital surplus, not sales."

"Then is our company's assets worth 147.2 billion won?"

"It's not accurate, but you can see it that way."

I said when I saw Jang.

"We can issue convertible bonds on our own, right?

"It'll be possible if it's listed.

"Is there a recent case of a private equity firm listed?"

"Yes, a company called TS Investment went public a month ago."

"Really?"

"The company has also made significant returns on investment, mainly by investing in pharmaceutical manufacturers, stem cell therapy developers and bio companies."

"How much revenue does TS Investment have?"

"I'm sorry, I don't have a memory..."

Jang found a memo in his diary.

"Last year, the company posted 6 billion won in sales, 3.3 billion won in operating profit and 2.5 billion won in net profit."

Hong said.

"Dear! By the way, did you get listed?”

Jang said, without even looking at Hong, he looked me in the face.

"TS Investment has received investments from a number of institutional investors, including Korea Fund for Fund of Fund of Fund of Funds, Korea Growth Finance and the National Pension Service, KDB Industrial Bank of Korea and the National Agricultural Cooperative Federation."

"Really?"

"So far, nine unions have formed a cumulative fund worth 251.9 billion won."

"That's great."

"In particular, the company ranks first in the industry with a cumulative M&A combination of 171.3 billion won."

Unable to ask any more questions, Hong quickly poured hot water into Zhang's coffee cup.

I said after a moment of silence.

"Then how many VC (Venture Capital) KOSDAQ-listed companies will be listed with TS Invest?”

We currently have seven products: M Venture Investment, Gemini Investment, SBI Investment, ATINUM Investment, Daesung Start-up Investment, Q Capital Partners, and Woori Technology Investment. This is the first time in 17 years that TS Investment has been listed."

"How many shares of TS Investment this time?"

General Manager Chang also found a memo from the diary.

"That's 5.7 million shares."

"How long have you been in the wishful thinking band?

Chang looked at the diary again and said,

"It was 1,450 won to 1,550 won."

"You must have raised more than eight billion.”

"Exactly 8.3 billion."

"Listen..."

When I closed my eyes and showed signs of thinking about something for a long time with my arms folded, Jang said with a smile.

"Are you going to go public with our J.S. Invest?”

"No."

Investors who have invested in funds from TS Investment are institutional investors such as the National Pension Service and the National Agricultural Cooperative Federation. But we're the unexposed funds of large churches and law firms."

"Hmm."

"In other words, it's a voice fund. I think you should think about it."

"It doesn't mean it's listed."

"Our company should be listed someday, but I don't think so yet. For the time being, I think it's a good idea to stay the way we are."

"I guess so."

"I think it would be better for you to take over a good company, just like how you take over Pitestech, if your assets increase."

I nodded loudly with my arms folded.

After coffee time, I came to my room and looked at the SillaJen.

SillaJen, which was over 13,000 won, fell to the 12,000 won level.

It continued to be sold at around 12,000 won in the form of water rides.

Today, I wanted to invest about 300 million won in SillaJen.

S production continued to be supported by lions. S Production Today, we were expecting about 100 million won in investment.

I laid out the lion's stock in stages in SillaJen and S Production and looked at the stock price of TS Investment, which was talked about in the morning.

It was a stock that was only listed for a month or so.

"There hasn't been a significant rebound since the listing?”

I thought this stock would be fun, so I decided to take a look.

It was 3,400 won and 1,000 shares of the lion were laid out, but it was signed in an instant.

"Anyone who's got stocks in a hurry still seems to be throwing them at his fate."

I put 1,000 shares for 3,400 won, 1,000 shares for 3,300 won, and 1,000 shares for 3,200 won.

There's a call from Hong.

"Well, sir. This is Mr. Hong."

"Where are you calling from?”

"It's in Central Ad, an advertising agency near Hongdae."

"Really?"

"I told my boss that I was sent by KBS announcer Park Un-young."

"Good job."

"He said he'd already listened and waited."

"Really?"

"But the boss here is very old. So I talked mainly to the young director about Pamplat."

"Really?"

"I'm asking for 500 Korean brochures, 500 English brochures, and 6 million won in high-quality art paper. Shall I look for something else?"

"Do as you are."

"There are a lot of pages, but the unit price seems to be high. By the way, the young manager here tells me not to worry about the issue of the palace, so should I just do it?”

"Yes, just do it."

"Okay, I'll leave it to you and go in."

After the stock market was over, I checked SillaJen, S Productions, and TS Investment.

SillaJen 300 million, S Production 100 million, and TS Investment 200 million won were signed.

In this way, SillaJen invested 4.7 billion won, S Production 900 million and TS Investment 200 million won. The total investment was 5.8 billion won.

Song and Chung reported buying Korean Air stocks today.

The two reported buying more than 3 billion won in total.

"Before the Lunar New Year holiday, we should burn out the bullets on the account."

"Our high-yield account balance is 12.7 billion won, and we'll blow it all before the Lunar New Year."

I had seen Song and Chung trading stocks.

I put up a chart with three monitors, and my hands were definitely fast.

I'm a roadkeeper, but they were fantastic because they usually use tick charts.

My fingers were fast even when I was answering the phone.

That's true, I've been doing this job for more than five years, wouldn't I?

Assistant manager Hong went to the advertising agency and came back.

"I went to Central Add."

"Well done."

"We'll make it available before Lunar New Year."

"Really? You don't have to hurry."

"The boss there will be here when we deliver."

"You mean the old boss?"

"Yes, I'd like to meet the boss and say hello."

"Hello? You don't have to..."

After Hong Dae-ri left my room, I pondered.

[Making a six-million-won brochure, how much would it cost if the profit fell?] It's too little to appease Kang. Is there anything else I can compensate for?]

I tried my head around and there was nothing suitable.

We are neither a consumer goods producer nor an entertainment company that makes a lot of advertisements.

There seemed to be nothing to back up the advertising agency.

A phone call came from Oh Dong-min, a city hall official.

Oh Dong-min doesn't call anyone often, but he used to call me often. He seemed to think he was on a similar level with me.

"I heard you went to Daehangno last Sunday?"

"Who said so?"

"Lee Soo-chul said. I heard you're really dating announcer Park Un-young with your arms crossed.”
