The next day came.
It was morning coffee time and the staff gathered in the conference room.
Chang spoke.
"I decided to go to Vietnam with Song."
"Really? Take enough travel expenses. The president of Mogang Tech or the president of Pitestech will treat you, but please treat the director as well."
"Okay."
"When are you coming back?"
"I decided to leave Friday and return home next Wednesday. The owner of Mogang Tech said the accommodation and interpretation were all arranged."
"There's nothing urgent about domestic affairs, right?”
"No, we still have Deputy Director Chung, so we'll be able to respond to the customer's arrival."
Assistant manager Hong Ji-young said.
After the meeting, I decided to go to Central Ad, an advertising agency in front of Hongdae. Today is the day of Phytestech's pamphlet.“
"Well, I guess it's done printing."
"We should have already made it and delivered it, but it was delayed because we asked for it to be revised again. This morning, Assistant Manager Kang Hyung-suk of Pitestech is coming to pick up the item himself."
"You can post it by courier..."
"The vice president is going on a business trip to Vietnam and I have to take it with me. That's why they're coming to pick it up."
"Bring some copies over here, too.
"I will."
I now saw that Kang Myo-ja would be good to Park Un-young.
It was because he had already entrusted two pamphlets to Kang's husband, the president of Central Add, and there was room to consider investing in S Productions.
Central Add was a subsidiary of S Productions.
The president of Central Add once asked me to invest in S Productions, which has become difficult.
But I didn't show any active interest as I was about to get married. Perhaps that's why the president of Central Add was not rushing.
S Productions' stock price has risen if someone invests.
So I had quietly bought the stock price of S Productions.
As if to buy SillaJen now, it has already bought nearly 3 million shares with a unit price of 1,200 won. It invested more than 3 billion won.
No one knew about this fact.
Maybe the grandmother in the sky knows, but others didn't know.
I talked about what Assistant Manager Choi Yuna said yesterday.
"Assistant Manager Choi Yu-na, who is currently in charge of overseas funds, has been making great efforts to attract foreign funds."
When my horse ran out, everyone looked in the face of assistant manager Choi Yu-na.
When Assistant Manager Choi Yu-na came up with her story, she lowered her eyes and only touched a cup of coffee.
My words went on and on.
"I didn't express it, but Choi Yu-na has been in contact with a company called Woods & Moore, a U.S. private equity firm. They're mostly private equity firms that invest heavily in real estate."
Chang said.
"There are a lot of asset managers who only deal with real estate rather than stocks. It's actually a lot of money, but real estate is less risky than stocks."
"Do many asset managers handle real estate?”
"You bought the Metro Tower building in front of Seoul Station from Vestas Asset Management."
"Is that so?"
"The building was originally GS Engineering & Construction's headquarters, and it was bought for 200 billion won. I think it's remodeled, and it's also a profitable rental income."
"I see."
"There's a rumor that we've acquired the NH Nonghyup Capital building in Yeouido for 110 billion won."
I thought 110 billion won would be worth a try if I got a loan from NH Nonghyup Capital building.
"Where is the NH Nonghyup Capital building in Yeouido?"
"It's near the KBS annex."
"Well, I see.”
"We also bought Koramco Asset Trust and Center Point Building behind the Sejong Center in Gwanghwamun."
"Is that so?"
"The building was a landmark in the downtown area of Gangbuk, so it was a little expensive."
"How much is it?”
"I don't know, but I've heard that it's over 320 billion."
"Wow! 320 billion is a big building."
"Don't you know the Center Point building? 80% of this building is now used by Kim & Chang Law Firm, isn't it?"
"Ah! Kim & Chang!"
This is where lawyer Yoon, Oh Mi-hyang's husband, attends. It is known as the nation's No. 1 law firm.
I imagined how great it would be if I could get my hands on a huge building like the Center Point Building.
It's a pleasure to imagine, even though I'm not good at it now.
Kim & Chang Law Firm is a law firm that only elite members of Korea's elite join.
It's like a dream to be the owner of a building where they rent.
Then the ugly me will sit on their heads.
I said, looking at assistant manager Choi Yu-na.
"Continue contact with Woods & Moore, an American private equity firm."
"Okay."
"Please let me know immediately if the person in charge comes to Korea."
"Okay."
This led to Choi Yu-na's status being raised a little.
When I looked at assistant manager Choi Yu-na, she seemed to have a strong neck.
The area of Choi Yu-na's work is beyond Hong Ji-young and Kim Hyung-sook.
No, not only Song, but also Jeong, too, and Jang, too.
First of all, they didn't speak English.
Acting President Choi Yu-na is a native English speaker because she immigrated with her parents early. I was the one who could speak English in this office.
It was because I was a person who spent years in private academies.
Whenever Baek appeared in her dream, she carried Time magazine next to her and told me to study English. Stock investors did so because they said they needed to learn English to know international trends.
In fact, Baek said that even though she wore a body piece during her lifetime, she carried Time magazine next to her.
After the meeting, I swept SillaJen from the 11,000 won range today.
I was curious about the progress of the apartment's interior in Hannam The Hill after storing it for a long time.
I decided to go to the apartment.
I was going to tell Hong that I was going out for a while, but Hong was not in his seat and told Kim Hyung-sook.
"I, a little out. I'll be back. I'll be back after lunch."
"Yes, sir."
I arrived at Hannam The Hill.
The door was open and the construction was noisy.
The interior designer recognized me and greeted me.
The living room was in a mess and the materials were piled up.
If I knew this would happen, I shouldn't have cleaned up.
"When will the construction be finished?"
"We need another week."
"Is it that long?”
There are many construction projects that take more than three weeks. It's not just the wallpaper and the lights are replaced, is it? Even if it's a mess like this right now, it'll be like a new house when the construction is done. Hehe."
"I look forward to working with you anyway."
"I know President Lee Won-kyu very well. We're all using high quality materials, especially materials, so we've been using them all in high quality."
I was going to watch the construction work, but I quit.
I heard something grinding through the grinder and it was really noisy.
I thought I'd be sorry for the people downstairs and upstairs.
"I'm sorry for those who live downstairs and upstairs because of the construction noise."
"So I put up a notice in the elevator saying that we're going to let you know and ask for your understanding. I'm just going to make the sound during the day."
"Well, really? Anyway, I ask you to finish the construction quickly."
"The veteran technicians are working very closely right now. Don't worry about it."
I went to Itaewon near Hannam The Hill.
I searched for a good restaurant with my smartphone in Itaewon.
There was a pasta restaurant nearby, so I ate pasta with grilled shrimp.
And I went to the Grand Hyatt Hotel coffee shop in Namsan.
The coffee cost 18,000 won.
The taste of coffee is all there, but the price of the atmosphere seemed to make such a difference.
I sat cross-legged for coffee and sent a message to Eunyeong.
[Hannam The Hill interior construction should be another week or so.]
I got a reply.
[How long does it take?]
[That's what it looks like when everyone changes. I stopped by today and asked the interior designer to do it quickly.]
[Sorry, I have to go, too.]
[Don't come. Just be loud and dusty. The interior designers will take care of everything.]
[Thank you, brother.]
[Thank you!]
[Oppa, I love you!]
Eunyeong told me that she loves me because I will be with him for the rest of my life.
I looked out the window drinking coffee again.
I could see Yongsan in the distance and even the Han River.
I thought of a private equity firm called Woods & Moore that Acting President Choi Yu-na said.
It occurred to me that if the Korean real estate market seemed attractive, I would visit Korea once.
It occurred to me that if there was a much higher rent income than the U.S. lending rate and the value of real estate went up in a few years, the rich people in the U.S. would leave their money to Woods & Moore.
"But what's Woods and Moore? You mean Woojoo and Moore set up a private equity firm together? Did Kim & Chang law firm in Korea name the law firm like that to copy what Americans do?”
This thought made me laugh.
"If Woods & Moore really brings in about 50 billion won and I invest about 20 billion won, I'll catch a big building. Wouldn't it be worth 70 billion won if we were to get a 140 billion-dollar building?"
I thought that J.S. Invest employees are good at investing in funds, but it would be better for them to get as much loans as possible from banks.
"Shall we bring in a former banker?"
Of course, Choi Yu-na also worked at a foreign bank, but she was not an executive.
I thought it would be good to recruit at least a branch manager or a deputy director.
Then, I thought that if I bring them to the wrong place, there might be friction with existing employees.
If he brought in a branch manager-level official and gave him the title of director, I thought that not only Jang but also Deputy Director Chung and Deputy Director Song would protest.
If the president brought him in and appointed him, he would not be able to say anything else, but I thought it would not be desirable if he had a secret fight.
It was concluded that human management is also difficult.
I've decided to think about this problem a little more because I still have time.
I came back to Yeouido office.
Assistant manager Hong showed me a Pitestech pamphlet.
The pamphlet was grand.
I laughed at the fact that it is the world's first technology company, and that companies around the world are showing interest in this technology.
"You can do propaganda, but I think you lied too much.”
There were three types of pamphlets: English, Korean, and Chinese.
Hong said with a smile.
"Central Add's boss said hello to my boss."
"Hi, how I am?"
"Yes, that's why I said the president of J.S. Invest told me to use Central Add for future promotions. And he liked it.”
"It seems like Hong's jokes are getting better."
"Ho Ho Ho. Boss, I did well, right?”
"Well done."
"Ho ho ho ho."
Hong then left my room with a cheerleading gait.
A long time later, I was sitting alone and looking at the SillaJen Clan, when I got a call from Kang Hyung-suk of Pitestech.
"CEO Choi? It's Pitestech Kang Hyung-suk."
"Oh, Kang Dae-ri! Palmlatt had a good look. You did a good job, didn't you?
"I saw President Kim Kyo-young and Vice President Han Kwang-jin a little while ago. They say it's well made."
"As expected, Kang Hyung-suk. You're great."
"I'm calling to ask you something. Mr. Hong, who came to Central Adsa today, is not married, is he?”
"I didn't do it. Why?"
Want to buy a big building
