April also entered the middle of the year.

The temperature has become a perfect spring day.

The stock market was not good today.

It was because there were rumors that North Korea was conducting a nuclear test.

SillaJen's stock price was down again today.

It was because additional listed stocks were pouring out.

SillaJen announced that it would list 47,000 more convertible shares of its parent company CB, and 629,000 more shares of stock option exercise.

As the volume of distribution increased, stock prices could not rise.

The ants invested after hearing the rumor of SillaJen, but after it took so long and only the additional listed quantity came out, the amount of the cut began to come out.

I've eaten up all these shares.

"How much is SillaJen's retail stock? Hick! 63.9 million shares!"

Although there is a large amount of distribution, if you buy less than 3 million shares, it will not be subject to a 5% public notice.

I was thinking of buying only about 2.5 million shares.

Still, the stock price of SillaJen is currently going up and down the 11,000 won mark, which means more than 27.5 billion won will be invested.

After I placed a lion order in SillaJen, I called Director Chang.

Jang came into the president's office.

"What about due diligence on the E Tower building this time?”

"It's not a manufacturer, it's simple, so you can just review the documents. It's a small company with less than 20 employees, isn't it?"

"I do, but..."

"You've probably already figured out the asset status, and you'll just have to check the payroll and expenses you've spent on rent, and you'll just have to check the depreciation provisions for the building."

"Hmm."

"Assistant Manager Kim Hyung-sook may go and check the rest. If necessary, I'll ask them to support Chung and Song."

"Okay, I'll call you if I need you."

As it is a building, due diligence on the financial sector will be important, but due diligence on facility management will be necessary. Lee Won-kyu knows that, so you can leave it to a service provider."

"Okay."

"But I think you're doing a good job buying real estate now."

"Do you see it like that?“

"A lot of money is on the market right now. Short-term financial funds (MMF) alone are said to be the largest ever. If all this money goes to real estate, it's going to be explosive."

"Do you see it that way?"

"And when the regime changes and a new government takes over, money on economic construction can be released."

Choi Yu-na and Kim Hyung-sook came to my room.

Assistant manager Choi Yu-na said, returning Yoon's business card to me.

"I met lawyer Yoon and gave him the joint venture contract. He'll be out on Monday's meeting.“

"Well done."

Kim Hyung-sook also smiled and said.

"It seemed like all the elite of Korea were gathered at the law firm. Everyone is good at English, too. I felt inferior to my poor English. But there were CPAs as well as lawyers. I met you, too."

"Good work. Yoon is a professor at a university in the U.S., so he must be very familiar with international law."

When Kim Hyung-sook and Choi Yu-na went out, I checked how long it took for SillaJen. There was a public announcement that additional listed stocks had been released, but many people sold stocks and many people bought them like me.

I kept picking it up in my shopping basket.

In the stock market, where people put their money in and buy money, those who borrow money without money could not endure and sell their stocks.

I got a call from Oh Dong-min.

"Thank you for coming to the wedding. Thank you for sending me a lot of congratulatory money and wreaths. I come back from my honeymoon and now I call to thank you."

"No thanks."

"Please say thank you to Omihyang, too. I said thank you on Kakao Talk."

"That's enough."

"I'll have a housewarming party when I'm stable."

"No housewarming! I didn't have a housewarming either. Housewarming is a nuisance to the bride."

I didn't really want to attend the housewarming in the 20-pyeong apartment that Oh Dong-min had arranged in Sangdo-dong.

"Oh Mi-hyang said she lives in Raemian apartment in Ichon-dong, eastern part of the country, right?"

Oh Dong-min seemed to be unable to forget Oh Mi-hyang even though she was married. Always secretly asked about Oh Mi-hyang's sympathy during the conversation.

"That's right."

"East Ichon-dong is a good neighborhood..."

"You'd better live now to get to and from work at City Hall, right?"”

"That's true. This is a town bus ride to Noryangjin Station, and if you take Line 1, it goes straight to City Hall Station."

"There you go. That's great. Don't say anything and live here until you buy a house. You'll get up in no time because your husband and wife are civil servants.”

"Haha, thank you."

I thought Oh Dong-min was a good guy.

Although he did not marry a woman he had in mind, he is still better off than others.

First of all, I got a strong job in the era of five guns and got married.

Oh Dong-min said, "It is now a 20-pyeong charter, but I think we can afford to buy a house with the couple's income.

Also, my father is a former director, so I have a pension and my parents' property, so I will receive inheritance.

And Oh Dong-min and his wife also believed that they would not be in a position to say sorry to others as they will receive a civil servant pension together.

Oh Dong-min was from a stable family, so he was a class president throughout middle and high school.

He also graduated from In Seoul University, although he is not a top university.

I thought that the future son of Oh Dong-min would be a class president in other areas than Gangnam.

I wouldn't have dreamed of getting married until now without the help of Mrs. Baek.

Yang Sung-mo and Kang Hyung-suk, who got a job thanks to me, thought they would have been living a difficult life without even dreaming of getting married.

I was thankful to Grandma Baek.

"And then I forgot Grandma Baek.”

I opened the bookcase door.

Then I removed the book and took out Mrs. Baek's new shares.

The dust in the bookcase didn't pile up much, but I cleaned the new liquor carefully with wet tissue.

Then I put my hands together and put them together.

[Grandma, I can't really see you in my dreams these days. My dream is to travel the soul, but my sense of urgency is gone? My dream has not come true yet.]

[Grandmother, please teach me a wise dream, as a spiritual guide appears in your dreams and gives you auspicious energy.]

And I bowed my back twice.

After doing this, I felt much better.

I quickly closed the bookshelf for fear that the staff would come into my room.

The week has begun again.

Today was the day I met with Woods & Moore's president and vice president.

I told assistant manager Choi Yuna during the morning coffee time.

"You said you had a meeting at 10 a.m. today, right?

"Yes."

"Did you guide me to the tourist attractions on Saturday and Sunday like last time?”

"No, I didn't go this time because they had a meeting and something to discuss. It was like meeting with the Korean president, the owner of the E Tower building, and the heads of foreign bank branches."

"Really?"

"He said his business schedule was tight."

"It sounds like something's going fast because we've decided."

Then I called lawyer Yoon.

"Brother, you know we're having a meeting at 10 o'clock today, right?"

"Yes, I know. I've reviewed all the English contracts and I've got a few places to revise, and I'll meet and talk about them."

"Okay."

Assistant Manager Choi Yu-na and Assistant Manager Kim Hyung-sook pulled out their necks and looked at me.

"I just spoke to lawyer Yoon. He says he'll be back at the meeting at the meeting.

Choi and Kim smiled.

I said, looking back at the crowd again.

"Come on, that's it. Let's have a morning meeting."

No one spoke because there was an important meeting at 10 o'clock today.

I drank only coffee quietly.

"Speak up. Today's meeting with Woods & Moore is a meeting, and we have to share stories that will help us invest in securities.”

Still, no one talks.

I looked at Assistant Manager Hong and said with a smile.

"Let's talk about politics. How's the presidential election going these days?”

"15 presidential candidates have registered. 22 days from today, the official campaign for the May 9 presidential election will begin."

Zhang said with a smile.

"You've registered a lot. The parties are going to make a lot of noise. He's gonna pick up a picket and shake his ass in the street. Isn't that right, Mr. Hong?"

"I want to be an opposition party. Whether the ruling party feels a sense of crisis, some members of the Liberty Korea Party and the Bareun Party are holding a meeting to call for unity."

"It would be realistic to unite because the conservatives should not be divided."

This time, Song said.

“Opposition presidential election costs that Moon Jae-in, to come up with the launch.”

"Really?"

"The repayment date is July 29 and the annual interest rate is 3.6 percent."

Hong immediately responded to Song's words.

"I wish we could buy the fund."

Jang smiled and said, looking at Hong's face.

"Assistant Manager Hong! Our J.S. Invest's fund management performance exceeds the annual interest rate of 3.6%?" You're not going over it?"

"Well, of course that's over."

"Then you'd better buy the fund? You don't want to buy it? Our company is not a political organization, it's a private equity firm that raises customers' money. What should we do?"

At Chang's words, Hong stuck out his tongue and crouched his neck.

Song also smiled and said a word.

"If Hong likes the opposition candidate, buy it personally. If you ask for a change of government over money, you can buy it. But it's not the company."

After the meeting, I took Assistant Manager Kim Hyung-sook and Assistant Manager Choi Yuna to E Tower building.

It was not far from the IFC building where our office is located. It was a walking distance.

Several people were already in the conference room.

Woods & Moore's president and vice president were sitting cross-legged in a conference room chair, chatting. They quickly stood up as I entered.

"How do you do, Mr. Choi!"

"Howayou Martin Hayward! Hubert Palmer!"

I shook hands with Woods & Moore's boss Martin Hayward.

Then he shook hands with Hubert Palmer, the vice president.

Martin Hayward and Hubert Palmer also shook hands with Acting President Choi Yu-na and Assistant Manager Kim Hyung-sook.

Martin Hayward introduced a big man next to him.

"This is Gerald Dean, the president of this building. I'm the head of the Korean branch of the U.S. private equity firm."

I greeted a big man.

I shook hands, but my hands didn't add to the lie, so it was the size of a cauldron lid.

I exchanged business cards with Gerald Dean. This was the man who had to return home when the building was sold.

Martin Hayward introduced a handsome Asian next to him.

He was a man in his 40s wearing glasses.

I'm the head of a foreign bank in Korea. I'm James Lee.

I also exchanged business cards with James Lee.

I thought you were not good at Korean because you said thank you in English.

Martin Hayward said with a smile.

"James Lee is an American citizen, but his parents are Korean."

I thought this person was in the same position as Choi Yu-na.

I glanced at assistant manager Choi Yu-na.

Assistant manager Choi Yu-na also looked at James Lee with interest.

I was about to sit in a chair and lawyer Yoon came.

I introduced Yoon to the Americans in English.

"Today's meeting will discuss international sales and joint ventures. So I invited a lawyer who majored in international law."

Lawyer Yoon said in fluent English, "It's nice to meet you."

"Nice to meet you."

I introduced lawyer Yoon in more detail.

"Yoon is now a professor at Korea's most famous Kim & Chang law firm and who taught international law at Stanford University."

"Oh, really?"

"And Korean-American."

My introduction made the gutter go wild again.

They exchanged business cards with Yoon.

In particular, Yoon and James Lee expressed great interest in each other.

Martin Hayward said, clapping his hands.

"I think Mr. Choi has a strong will for a joint venture with an international lawyer. I think today's meeting will pay off."
