Assistant manager Kim Hyung-sook came to my room.

I brought the profit and loss report in May 2017.

Seeing that Jang's signature was included, it seemed to have been approved by him and brought it.

The profit and loss status was enough to feed the employees.

Since Korean Air has not been cashed in yet, its high-value account has not been reflected in profit or loss.

I asked.

"Can't you increase the fund sales commission?"

Assistant manager Kim Hyung-sook replied with a smile.

"Fund sales pay and sales fees are legally set."

"Is the sales fee 1 percent and the sales commission up to 2 percent?”

"Yes."

"Can you charge the fund sales commission differently?"

"Yes, it can be charged differently by sales, period of investment, or number of payments."

I signed the final approval column of the profit and loss report last month.

Kim Hyung-sook said as she packed up the report.

"Mr. President, do you happen to know the winning bid rate for last month's court?"

The winning bid rate was also an indicator of the real estate market.

"Last May? I don't know.”

"The winning bid rate is 78.8 percent. But the winning bid for a residential facility like an apartment is 90.7 percent."

"Well, is that so?"

I felt the real estate market was slowly getting hot.

When Assistant Manager Kim Hyung-sook left the president's office, I dragged the meeting table and put my legs up.

And looking up at the sky over the window, I imagined how much my fortune would increase in the future.

Buying 50 apartments in Gangnam would be a 30 percent increase. With nearly 100 billion won invested, wouldn't it be 30 billion won if we cut taxes and fell 30 percent?]

[If we eat a pear from 28 billion won invested by SillaJen, it would be 56 billion won, right? And the cash left in your bank account is 12.9 billion won, so if you put it all together...Less than 100 billion won. Damn it!]

I thought it would be a long way to take over a large company if it was less than 100 billion won.

It was because large companies had to move on to the group unit.

There is a way to acquire only shares, but this will make it difficult for me to exercise management rights as I am not the largest shareholder.

[Big companies are just miracles I don't have in my life?]]

The dirt spoon seemed to have a long way to go.

100 billion won is an astronomical number for the common people, but it was a small amount of money to realize my dream.

Lawyer Yoon called.

"Is that your brother? You said you were pregnant? Congratulations."

"I hear you're pregnant with your taste buds. Congratulations, brother."

"You're going to give birth on a day like this."

"Haha, maybe."

"If we do well, we'll have an in-laws."

"What if they're sons or daughters?”

"Well, then you can't."

"Tell your taste buds to take good care of themselves."

"But brother! What's Mihyang? Call me your wife!"

"Haha, is that so?”

"Didn't you say that Koreans value etiquette?"

"Then we call each other Mihyang when we're together, and in front of you, we call each other your sister-in-law."

"Hum, Hum. Of course you should!"

"Let's meet for dinner in the near future.”

"Okay, but James Lee said he wanted to build a Korean-American business club with 10 people he met at the pension last time.”

"The Korean-American Businessmen Club?”

"I'd like to meet you on a regular basis, have a meal... ...and do community service.

"You're going out grand."

"By the way, the president there said he wanted to have his brother.”

"Me? I'm the president of the Korean-American Businessmen's Club?"

"There's no suitable person but his brother."

"Oh, I don't do that. I hate to show my face to various groups. You do it.“

"I don't do it. I'm not good at Korean, either.”

"Then tell Mihyang, no, tell her to report to your wife."

"The CEO of such an organization should be a businessman. How nice would it be if we could get together and talk about the world and help the needy? Doesn't that mean anything?"

"Oh, brother! I've never even seen America. How can such a person be the president of the Korean-American Businessmen's Club?”

"He, is he? Then I'll discuss it again with James Lee."

"Tell him to be James Lee Bogo's president. I'm vice president."

"Well... ...I get it for now. It would be nice for a businessman to do it, but it's too bad..."

I went to lunch with General Manager Chang.

As I ate Seolleongtang, I told Jang.

"You know S Bank, a global bank, right?”

"Isn't that the main bank of the E Tower building?"

"The branch manager of the Korean-American branch is creating a Korean-American business club."

"Is that so?"

"But he wants me to be the president."

"Old? The boss? Oh, it's because E Tower joined hands with Woods & Moore, an American private equity firm. I guess the boss told me to be the president of such a group because he is the CEO of a joint venture company in the U.S. It's worth it."

"Isn't he the one who hates to be the head of such an organization? He's not a representative, he just doesn't like to be a member."

"I think it's a good opportunity to build personal connections. Who are the members?”

"E Tower's Hubert Palmer couple, Kim & Chang law firm's Korean-American lawyer couple, our couple, and director Hwang Mi-na's couple."

"What does director Hwang Mi-na have to do with the United States?”

"Well, I don't think so. Your fiance is a composer, so you don't seem to have any connection with the United States."

"If such a group is formed, it seems that Hwang and his wife will actively participate."

"What'sir.

"Since Hwang is a director, he may have to shoot a local local film, and if he is a composer, he will probably watch an American music magazine, Billboard. If you want to put your song on the Billboard chart, you need to know the compassion of the world, and the American music community."

"Hmm. That's... I guess so."

"Mr. President! Let's be the chairman.”

"I said I couldn't. It's annoying. He said he'd do it."

"The vice president is good, too."

"But they don't just get together and eat, but they do volunteer work because they have wives."

Chang said, bouncing his fingers.

"That's right! That's good. When that group is formed, I'll call my friend from the Economic Daily."

"Reporter?"

"If you spray the Yonhap news agency about the creation of a Korean-American business club, other media outlets will treat it as well.“

"If there's such an article in the papers, James Lee won't like it.”

"No, it could be the opposite. You might like it a little by little."

"Shall we?"

If you are a U.S. citizen, it would be nice to have such a group to dig into Korean society. And if we want to dig into the United States, we'd better use it."

"Hmm."

"The existing Korea-U.S. General Association of Commerce, the Korea-Japan Businessmen's Meeting, and the Korea-Vietnam Businessmen's Club are also created because business needs them."

"Hmm."

"It's good to form a group and exchange information."

"I'm sure you will."

"SK Hynix joined hands with Japanese financial firm Orix to take over Toshiba's memory semiconductor division."

"I think I saw it in the paper."

"Why did you join hands with Orix, a Japanese financial company?"

"Well."

I'm sure you've heard that there may be opposition in Japan to the sale of semiconductor business abroad. We have formed an alliance with Japanese financial investors in consideration of this."

I nodded.

I thought Linda Sim might try to join hands with Korean companies due to public opinion or business issues if she used Moellis & Co to take over the Korean conglomerate.

It occurred to me that he might choose me as his partner.

Because a girl named Linda Sim likes me.

After eating with General Manager Chang, I came up to the office.

SillaJen was still strong.

I sat with my legs crossed and drank coffee.

I got a call from Eunyeong.

"Did you have lunch?”

"I just ate and came up. How are you feeling?"

"It's all right. You just have to go to the hospital sometimes and check it out.”

"Try cutting back on the broadcast, too.”

"Okay. But don't come home this evening. Hwang Mi-na invited me."

"Really?"

"I'm having a housewarming in my new Mapo apartment."

"Really?"

"So don't come home and come to Mina's apartment."

"Mapo GS Apartment?"

"I'll send you a Kakaotalk on the lake. It's 104 dong. It's an apartment just on the right, across the Seogang Bridge from Yeouido."

"I think I saw it once as I passed by."

"Your office is close to Yeouido department store, isn't it?" Buy a bundle of tissues or detergent when you come."

"Okay."

I don't have a deal with SillaJen these days, so I have time to spare.

Sometimes I only need to check the present.

It was 13,700 won after 3:30 p.m. when I checked the closing price of SillaJen.

I haven't sold it yet, but my money was 5.3 billion won.

"You'll be full even if you don't go home and have dinner.”

I went to Yeouido department store and bought tissue rolls and detergent.

I bought a bulky one.

And went to Seogang GS apartment.

I sent Kakao Talk to Eunyeong.

I'm under GS apartment right now, where are you?]

[You're here? Come on in, then. I'm here.]

The apartment was on the middle floor.

When I opened the front door and entered, Hwang Mi-na welcomed me.

"Welcome. Mr. Choi!"

Hwang Mi-na saw me bring toilet paper and high-tie.

"Oh, my God! You bought toilet paper and detergent! Why don't you just come! But the boss carries these things around, and it's disgraceful!"

The composer came out to the front door and greeted me.

"Welcome."

Unyeong was sitting on the sofa in the living room.

I also sat on the sofa and looked around the interior of the apartment.

The apartment was like a new house with a new wallpaper and a new light.

Surprisingly, however, I could see the Han River from here.

"Oh, it's a house with a view of the Han River."

"Ho Ho Ho, so I signed this house on purpose. My composer, I got inspiration from looking at the Han River from here."

When I looked at the composer, he stroked his mustache with a shy look.

Hwang Mi-na told me to look around the room, so I looked around.

The room was not big because it was a small 30 pyeong.

However, as an artist, there were many cute and unique paintings and props decorated on the wall.

said Hwang Mi-na, bringing me tea.

"When I saw this house, I even cried because my mom liked it. I came out here and my mom and younger siblings who lived in a 25-pyeong apartment in Gongdeok-dong were all out of breath. It was complicated because I had a lot of family members in an apartment with one bathroom.”

"I see. By the way, how much did you say you bought this house for?”

"I bought it for 620 million won. Most of them are loans. Ho Ho Ho Ho. But today, I saw on the portal site that the sale of this apartment is over 700 million won. It's been 80 million won in a month."

Then, Hwang Mi-na liked it like a child.

It occurred to me that I had done such a good thing.

Hwang Mi-na was a person who supported me a lot in marrying Eun-young.

I was also indebted to Hwang Mi-na, but she also bought a house, so she would say she was indebted to me.

I now saw that this house would soon be over a billion.

Homeless people can buy the house with just 620 million won before, but they won't be able to buy it with a billion won soon.

Korean society was moving toward polarization like this.
