Today is March 30th.
It was both Friday and the last day of the month.
During the morning meeting, Assistant Manager Kim Hyung-sook first reported profit and loss in March.
When Assistant Manager Kim Hyung-sook's profit-and-loss report was completed, Deputy Manager Chung made the remarks this time.
"Samsung Electronics has more than doubled from last year to this year. It's unprecedented for large caps to move like this."
Chang nodded and said.
"Right. The semiconductor boom made it happen."
Shares of Samsung Electronics partners such as Mo Kang Tech tend to keep up with Samsung Electronics. We can't go up like this forever."
"Are you saying that there are signs of rising fatigue?"
"Not yet. But I think it's time to sort out what we have in Mogang Tech."
I asked.
"How much time do we have left after we dispose of our shares in Mogang Tech?"
"We have 1.5 million shares left."
"Mogang Tech is just around the corner, so let's go. Let's wait and see how Samsung Electronics' stock prices are doing."
"Okay."
"Samsung Electronics had a presentation at Lincoln Center in New York yesterday, right? We'll wait and see more about the introduction of the Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus with the iris recognition technology."
"Okay."
I looked at assistant manager Choi Yu-na and said,
"How about overseas funds?"
"Foreign funds are steady. No one asks for redemption, even if the number of customers does not increase. Recently, more and more people are asking for Tesla."
Chang said.
"Tesla's gonna have to look at it in the long run. Shouldn't we look forward to two or three more years if we produce electric cars?”
"There is a Chinese company that recently acquired a 5% stake in Tesla, perhaps 5 percent stake in Tesla."
"What? 5%? I think 5% of global big companies like Tesla would be worth it.”
"That's 1.8 billion dollars."
"How much is $1.8 billion in Korean money?”
"It's 2.55 trillion."
"Wow! That's great. Which Chinese company did you buy like that?”
"It's Tencent, China's largest Internet company."
"It looks like you're investing in the future. We made the investment at a time when President Trump and President Xi Jinping were struggling."
The Chinese story reminded me of the Virgin Mary.
You said you were getting married in the fall with a woman named the sister of a clothing store owner?]
I decided after the meeting that I'd call the Virgin Mary or give her a call.
Yang Sung-mo or Kang Hyung-suk didn't call me unless it was something special.
No, I couldn't. I think it was because of the relationship between the president and the staff.
After the meeting, I called Assistant Manager Kim Hyung-sook separately.
"You're paying the balance for seven apartments today, aren't you?"”
"Yes, I have to go out in a little while. I have to stop by the attorney's office."
"Okay, well, good luck."
"I'll call the boss when I'm done."
Then Assistant Manager Kim Hyung-sook politely greeted me and went out.
Kim is a woman who is good at her job, but her smile was a drawback.
I thought that Assistant Manager Kim Hyung-sook would like to have a man she likes soon.
I made a purchase in SillaJen and called Yang Sungmo.
I could hear the voice of the Virgin Mary.
The voice seemed to be overflowing with strength.
"Hello? It's a bisexual mother!"
"Are you Yang-jong?"
"Hehe. You must be president Choi. It's called Yang Chong here."
"Is it worth it, as sales are increasing there?"
"I didn't get much better, but I got a little better."
"If we go as it is now, we'll hear that the factory will be small next year."
"Hehe, do you think you should? It's okay to subcontracted to a Chinese company if the volume is overflowing."
"Chinese company? We shouldn't have quality problems, right?”
"Chinese kids also have all the international quality certification qualifications. I have both ISO9001 and ISO14001.”
"Isn't the Pitestech Chinese plant qualified for such a certification?"
"I'm working on it right now. I'm the chairman of the ISO14001 Promotion Committee for Pitestech's China Plant."
"Ha-ha, you've used a lot of fighting."
"I've never used it in Korea before. I'm just using it here.“
"There's a meeting of our alumni tomorrow. Oh Dong-min is going to pay for his wedding, so I'm going to go."
"Yes, I heard the story, too. Please tell me that I can't attend, but I'll deliver my heart.”
"I wish I had you, but I'm sorry."
"No, no. It's okay."
"Oh Dong-min will not be able to attend the wedding."
"I'm only going to send a congratulatory money to Kang Hyung-suk.”
"I hear you have a woman, too?"
"It looks like Kang Hyung-suk was talking again."
"Congratulations. Why didn't you tell me earlier if that happened?”
"I'm not a woman to be proud of..."
"Where's that noise? We can just like each other."
It occurred to me that Sung-mo might still be thinking about Jun-hee who went to the U.S.
"I don't know if you've heard from Hyung-suk, but she's the woman I knew when I was in a cell phone store before."
"You said you were the brother of the owner of the clothing store owner.
"How did we end up dating? We're doing great business. You have a knack for it.”
"Really?"
"So I'm here now and I'm planning to open a Korean restaurant."
"I think it will work because there are many employees from Samsung Electronics and Samsung Electronics partners."
"No. You should aim at the Chinese rather than the Koreans. If you look at a few Koreans and start doing business, you're doomed."
"You're different because you've done business before. Did you recognize the shop?"
"There's a good store on Hwapyeong-ro in downtown West Bank, and it's Calcea. "But if I get this, I don't think I'll be able to pay back CEO Choi's money quickly..."
"Hey, don't worry about that. I'll take my money 10 million won slowly, so set up a store and get married first. You can pay my money back after you earn it."
"Is it true?"
"When did I lie?"
"Thank you. I'm sorry I'm always indebted to President Choi.”
"There's a lot of talk between friends. By the way, I have to bring in all the kitchen utensils besides that, so would that make any money?”
"I'm asking my sister for a favor."
"You mean my sister who runs a clothing store?"
"That's right."
I was going to ask a vice-president to pay me in advance for my Virgin Mary, but I quit.
A vice-president would give me an advance if I asked, but I quit because I was afraid he would only take care of his friends.
"But is the man who runs the restaurant good at cooking?"
"It's all right. So he's going to try a restaurant. I think he's thinking about bringing his mother back to China again. My mother-in-law had a restaurant in Ingye-dong, Suwon for a long time.”
"I think that's a good idea?"
I thought that if my mother-in-law, who has been in a restaurant for a long time, takes charge of the kitchen, I would succeed.
The problem seemed to be hesitating about money.
"Do it well anyway. At tomorrow's meeting, I'll tell my friends that you'll say hello.”
"Thank you, Mr. Choi."
After hanging up my mother's phone, I thought about how I could help her.
There was no sharp way.
But if you send me the money to help me, I thought my mother would refuse because of her pride.
Assistant manager Hong entered the president's office.
"Mr. President, it's lunchtime. All of our employees are going to eat kalguksu, would you like to go? Jang said he'd go, too."
"Is everyone in the office?"
"Only Assistant Manager Kim Hyung-sook went out to work and everyone is in their seats. If you don't eat kalguksu, you can also have kalmandu."
"Kalmandu?"
"I put dumplings in kalguksu. Ho Ho Ho."
Six of us went to Kalguksu house except for Assistant Manager Kim Hyung-sook.
The store was small, but there were already many people, so it seemed to be a good house.
It was a small shop, so she was serving a kitchen lady.
We ordered a knife dumpling.
The serving woman seemed to be a Korean-Chinese lady in her 40s, but she looked like she was in her 60s when she looked at the kitchen's lady.
It tasted good because it was made by a lady in her 60s.
I thought it would be good if my mother-in-law took care of the kitchen.
Since labor costs are cheaper than Korea's, I thought there would be a chance of winning if I had several employees.
The kalguksu store seemed to be hectic because only two people worked.
The kitchen lady worked incessantly in the narrow kitchen.
I suddenly remembered my mom while I was eating Kalmandu.
Mom worked in the kitchen of the restaurant like that before I made money.
I worked at a shabby restaurant in Sillim-dong as an employee, not as a president. The thought of my mother made my nose tingle.
My mom worked late at Samsung market, and my dad supported my brother and sister while working at Chang-ho.
I had provided Junhee's tuition for Chung-Ang University and the tuition for my college in Daejeon.
I told Jang as I ate noodles.
"That old man in the kitchen works."
"You can't save young people. All the young people are on the civil service exam right now."
"Well."
"There's a saying that the combined number of candidates for state and local government positions now is up to 850,000."
"That's a lot, too.
"But the acceptance rate is 1.8 percent. If 100 people apply, less than 2 will pass.“
"Huh."
"There are 850,000 public servants, and they are ruining their precious youth."
I like private equity firms, but I felt I should have a manufacturing business to expand employment.
I was drinking coffee after lunch, and I got a call from Assistant Manager Kim Hyung-sook who was out of the office.
"This is Mr. Kim. Did you enjoy your meal?"
"Yes, I had Kalmandu with my staff."
"I also had a meal here with President Lee Won-kyu. I've paid the balance, and I'm at the attorney's office now."
"Well done."
"I'll do all the registrations in the attorney's office. They say you don't have to come to pick it up until Monday afternoon.
"Oh, really? Thank you for your hard work."
"Then I'll give you a copy of the register of 50 apartments sometime Tuesday morning."
"Yes, go ahead."
I thought I'd meet the bank manager by Tuesday afternoon with a copy of the 50 registry.
And I thought that I should set up a mortgage on 50 houses and get a loan as much as possible.
When the call was over with Assistant Manager Kim Hyung-sook, Kang Hyung-suk of Piettek called.
"Mr. Choi? Are you busy?"
"No, it's okay."
"You're coming out tomorrow, right? A gathering of Noryangjin Fish Market friends."
"I'm coming."
"Hwang Byung-chul, who sells at Geumjeong Station, said he can't come out. It must be hard because you have to run a store."
"I suppose so."
"I'm going to rip you off for not gathering at Geumjeong Station. They don't help my friend's shop and they sell sushi at a lucrative fish market."
"Maybe it's because of the inconvenient traffic.”
"I won't be late, either.”
"I won't be able to drink much. I have to go to the airport after 9 o'”
"Is the guest coming?"
"No, my parents who went sightseeing in America are coming back."
"Really?"
"And when you get on the phone with your mother in China, ask her how much it costs to set up a restaurant."
"Cafeteria?"
"You said the Virgin Mary lover was opening a restaurant, right?”
"I thought you said you couldn't do it because it cost 30 million won a year?"
30 million? I think 5,000 won will be needed to bring in kitchen utensils and tables.”
"I suppose so. That's why the Virgin Mary said she had to give up..."
"You can't get 3,000 from your own house?‘
"He's broke. How long have you and I been working? I didn't have time to save money."
"See if you can find out the details to the Virgin Mary."
"Okay. I'll find out. I don't think there's any money on the women's side, either. What's more, the Virgin Mary has bad credit, so it's hard to borrow."
"Is that so?"
"I'll look into it in detail anyway and let you know when we meet tomorrow.”
