The next day was in full bloom.

However, it was chilly in the morning because it rained yesterday.

I left home a little early.

Because I had to go to work by subway today.

I came in by taxi from Yeouido yesterday.

I couldn't drive home because I had a drink with Assistant Manager Kim Hyung-sook.

I called the chauffeur, but the chauffeur said all the chauffeur was out, so I took a taxi to come in.

The subway had to transfer from Singil station, but it was a short distance, so it came quickly.

Since it was a private equity company, the subway was not that complicated when I left a little early because I was a private equity firm.

The staff had become a habit, so everyone came out early and sat at their desks.

Everyone greeted me when I showed up at the office.

Assistant Manager Kim Hyung-sook also greeted me in neat attire.

I went into the president's office, hung my coat on the hanger, came back to the office, made coffee, and entered the conference room.

The staff has not gathered yet, but Jang said.

"Pitestech spoke to Han on the phone. He told me that the Vietnam plant is good for rent, but good for purchase."

"Good job."

"He asked me to thank him."

"Is that so?"

All the staff came into the conference room.

Assistant manager Hong looked at my face and said, whining.

"Mr. President, you drank a lot yesterday, didn't you?"

"How did you know?"

"It's written on my face. I think my face is dry."

"Assistant Manager Hong is now a physiognomy. We'll have to put a mat."

Then I glanced at Assistant Manager Kim Hyung-sook.

Assistant manager Kim Hyung-sook only drank coffee with her head down.

"Sir, today is D2 at the wedding. Don't drink."

Jang received Hong's words.

"Don't drink, too, Hong. Isn't the 17th Gwanghwamun candlelight vigil D2 days?"

"I don't drink."

"Don't you drink makgeolli at the demonstration site?"

"That's the people in the Taegeukgi unit.“

The story of the Taegeukgi unit reminded me of my uncle again.

Wearing a military uniform and wearing a sun graze, he was seen holding the Korean national flag and the Stars and Stripes in his hands.

Song said.

"Mr. President. Don't you reinvest the money you cashed in Mo Kang Tech? If it's about 15 billion won, why don't you start thinking about M&A rather than stocks?"

"If you have a good place to invest, please feel free to tell us. I'll keep that in mind."

Hong said.

"KFC, a chicken franchise, sells to KG Group for 50 billion won. If we have money, we want to buy a company like that."

I looked at Assistant Manager Hong and said,

"Oh, really? Who are the major shareholders of KFC now?"

"That's..."

Chang said instead.

"CVC Capital Partners."

"CVC Capital Partners?"

"CVC Capital Partners is a British global private equity firm. It's the company that bought the Rosen package last year."

"As global private equity firms are starting to come in, we need to raise a native private equity firm."

"The rich in our country still have a low rate of private equity funds. He's not a bank, he's a private equity firm, so he doesn't feel trustworthy."

"Hmm."

"So the rich are starting to buy real estate now, saying they should buy it when it's cheap. We're seeing an increase in the number of registered real estate agents."

"I'm also buying apartments in Gangnam through J.S. development, but it's not a desirable phenomenon."

"I'm worried about money going into real estate without flowing into the company. In fact, real estate investment is safe and yield is good."

"It won't be as dangerous as stocks."

"So some real estate experts warn that real estate polarization could escalate."

"Homeless people will be more and more.”

"It's a fantasy. This life is hopeless. There is a way to raise the comprehensive real estate tax on high-priced apartments, but this won't be easy either because of tax resistance. So some smart private equity fund companies say they have a fund company that buys the entire Gangnam apartment."

"That was a little too much."

"It's serious, but there's no way the law can stop it."

I'm buying an apartment now, but it was a bit bitter.

The second generation of chaebols and golden spoons don't know this kind of pain, but I was confused as a dirt spender who suffered from severe poverty.

I said, looking in the face of General Manager Chang.

"Then is KG Group taking over 100 percent?”

"I heard so. I think KG Group is also trying to make inroads into the restaurant industry."

"We'll take advantage of the strong electronic payment capabilities of KG Inicis and KG Mobillians."

"So last year, KG Group formed a consortium with NHN Entertainment to take over McDonald's."

Chung said.

"Global private equity firms are also active, but indigenous funds are also active. The second largest shareholder of Tong Yang Cement will be sold to a native private equity fund, Luther PE."

"The second-largest shareholder seems to have been more interested in financial investment than management."

"I think so. Still, it's 19 percent.

"Then how much do you say the transaction price is?”

"I hear something like 70 billion or 80 billion."

Tong Yang Cement was a court-managed company.

The company has been pushing for the sale to improve its financial status, but the second-largest shareholder's stake was sold this time.

Later, Tong Yang Cement was a company that changed its name to Sampyo Cement.

I saw that the cement field would be closely related to the construction industry.

Assistant Manager Kim Hyung-sook said.

"I have an apartment contract this week, too. We are expecting 7 contracts on Saturday and Sunday. I think we will be able to secure 50 units by next week when the moving season begins.

I nodded my head.

After the meeting, I went to my room and thought about the KFC that we talked about today.

"That means I could eat it with 50 billion won.”

However, it occurred to me that KG Group, which is trying to acquire KFC, has its own payment system company, has a strong desire to enter the restaurant business, and has a manpower system.

I looked at the stock market.

Korean Air was drawing a definite idol.

It was already rising more than 5%. I smiled.

SillaJen was around 11,000 won today. I kept picking it up.

I thought I should put a lot of stock today because I might not be able to trade stocks tomorrow because of wedding preparations.

At around 11:30 a.m., Jang came to my room.

"Have you seen Korean Air, sir?"

"I see. I think I've got the right upward position. The chart shows three red bottles."

"Today is the day Hanjin Shipping begins its clearance sale. That's why it's going up."

"How many stock prices do you sell now?"

It's 10310."

"Huh, it's for tissue."

"Only ants were hit by the bomb. There are some people who are playing with clearance sales, but Hanjin Shipping doesn't."

"By the way, we've also come into the clearance sale. Sometimes it falls out.”

"Why don't you go eat in advance because lunch is complicated? There is a good restaurant for pollack hangover soup. Actually, I also had a drink yesterday, and my stomach hurts."

I left the office with General Manager Chang.

Eating dried pollack hangover soup, Chang said.

"Is there anything else to invest in Mo Kang Tech's stock stakes?"

"Not yet. I'm thinking about going to real estate. Companies are great, but I don't think M&A, a small company like Piettek, will be very nutritious."

"Companies will probably have a lot to eat with less money from ventures and pharmaceutical companies. It may be dangerous."

"But you don't know anything about it, so... it's a financial analysis, but the business outlook, we can't measure..."

"Why don't we go to real estate, too?”

"It seems like the U.S. private equity firm that Choi Yu-na said is interested in Korean real estate."

"Shall I ask my friend Lee Won-kyu to look into the building for sale? Quietly."

"Do you know people who handle buildings well?"

"I've been on the floor for more than 10 years, so I'm sure there's a network without having to do it yourself."

"Let's meet later when a U.S. private equity firm called Woods & Moore comes in. In some cases, large Korean builders secretly ask foreign fund companies to sell them."

"Okay, there are a lot of foreign fund companies in Korea right now."

"I think so.”

"There are many cement companies that we talked about this morning that are owned by foreign private equity firms."

"Really?"

Ssangyong is originally the largest cement company. Next is Sungshin, Dongyang, Hanil, and Halla. Isn't it Hong Kong-based Private Equity Fund (PEF) operator that owns 100 percent of Halla, the fifth-largest in Korea?"

"Really?"

"Hong Kong PEF Bearing Private is owned by a company called Hong Kong-based company. Since it's the global era, some foreign funds come into our country and some Korean funds go abroad. We're in and out of each other."

It was lunchtime when we finished eating the dried pollack hangover soup.

Office workers from nearby companies began to flock.

After confirming that the contract of SillaJen was signed, I headed to Incheon International Airport at 2:30 p.m.

It was because today was the day my younger brother Jun-hee returned home.

"How much has this changed? We fought every day, but it's been a long time since we've seen each other, so I miss you."

I whistled along the boulevard to the airport.

I checked the name of the flight coming in from the arrival hall.

After waiting about 20 minutes, passengers from San Francisco began to pour out.

Jun-hee seemed to come out a little late maybe because she had a lot of luggage.

Soon there appeared a challenging woman wearing a grass with two suitcases pulled together, and seeing her dressed in colorful clothes, there was a feeling of butter that she had already lived in the United States.

"Jun-hee!"

When I called, Jun-hee hurriedly took off the sun graze and looked at me.

"Oppa!"

"How are you?"

I shook hands with Jun-hee with a smile.

But Jun-hee was embarrassed when she saw me. I looked at my face carefully.

"Oppa, you've changed a lot.”

"What's different about me? Choi Jun-sik is everywhere."

"I think my skin is different and more sophisticated than before.”

"You like to be refined. Let's go. I'll drag one carrier."

"How's mom and dad?"

"Good-bye. I stopped him from coming to the airport today.”

"Congratulations on your wedding.”

"Thank you."

"And I can't wait to see my pretty new sister."

When I looked at Jun-hee as I dragged her suitcase, Jun-hee was embarrassed again.

I think this is because I haven't seen you in a long time.

My brother and sister went to the parking lot.

Jun-hee was surprised to see the car parked in the parking lot.

"Huck! Benz Mybachne! Is this your car?"

"Yes, it's my car. Come on. Get in the back. I'll put the carrier in the back trunk."

Jun-hee looked at my coat and expensive flashy watch on my wrist.

He covered his mouth with his hands and opened his eyes wide.

Jun-hee said as he drove in.

"You said you were having a ceremony at KBS' public hall the day after tomorrow, right?"

"Yes. I did so because the bride was an incumbent announcer."

"At the wedding... ...can I come with my friend Yun-jung?”

"You mean the friend you met at Times Square?"

"Yes. Actually, I was going to introduce him to my brother..."

You're a good liar.]

"Did I? I wasn't even interested."

Jun-hee looked around the car and said,

"This car is... expensive, right? How much do you do?"

"Han, 300 million."

"Wow! Three hundred million!"

Jun-hee was surprised at the sound of 300 million won.

I didn't bother to say this car was a corporate lease.

D1 day of wedding
