I called Assistant Manager Choi Yuna and Assistant Manager Hong Ji-young.
"You two should go to the Conrad Hotel and reserve a seminar room.”
"How big will it be?"
"Please have a room for about 60 people. The event will be held next Tuesday, June 13."
"What's the presentation for?”
"We're going to have a Korean-American business club."
While I was talking to deputy Choi and deputy Hong, I got a call from lawyer Yoon.
"I faxed you a press release. I made a press release just because the reporters were coming, so my brother should go over it."
"Okay. I'll check. But the press release is not in English, is it?
"Haha, it's Hangul. I know Hangul, too. The spellings were made with the help of a fellow lawyer. Hangul is difficult to spell.”
"Hangul is difficult to spell."
I hung up and said, looking at Hong's face.
"Look if there's a fax in here. Just in time, a lawyer named Yoon sent a press release about the launch of the Korea-U.S. Businessmen Club."
"Okay, I'll check."
Assistant manager Hong went to the fax machine on the side of the office and brought the fax.
"You got a fax. There are 11 members in total."
"If you want to be a member, please tell me."
"Oh, that's enough. I don't think it's our place."
Choi said after seeing the press release.
"Linda, are you in depth? Looks like they're all parents."
"I'm a special member. Linda, you've come in deep, so come in."
"Oh, that's enough.
"Ask the hotel to set up a table for a meal when you ask. If you set up 6 round tables and 60 chairs, it'll fit roughly.“
"So you're eating right there? Or do you only prepare drinks?”
"It's 1:00 p.m., so let's have a meal."
"What do you want for the menu?”
"Let's have pork cutlet."
"I think the press release says it's a couple meeting, but the pork cutlet is a little... a little weak, isn't it?”
"Really? Then you two should go talk to the hotel and take care of it."
"Okay."
"The table is a member of the businessman's club, an employee of JS Invest, an employee of S Bank's Korean branch, and an employee of E Tower. KBS and S Productions officials, Kim & Chang and Hwacheon Law Firm officials, reporters, and so on."
"Okay, I'll put a sign on the table and mark it."
"And set up a placard called 'Congratulations on the establishment of the Korean-American Businessmen Club.'
"Okay, I'll ask the hotel to serve the placards."
I called Assistant Manager Kim Hyung-sook.
"There will be a presentation at the Conrad Hotel next Tuesday on the launch of the Korea-U.S. Business Club."
"I heard about it."
"Let JS Development pay for renting a seminar room and preparing meals. Please give the corporate credit card to Hong."
"Okay."
I also informed Eun-young and Hwang Mi-na of the day of the Korea-U.S. Businessmen's Club Establishment through Kakao Talk.
He also said that he could invite three or four people to join him because he prepared a table for the meal.
I went home in the evening and Eunyeong was eating ramen.
"What ramen for dinner?"
"Weirdly I don't have an appetite. I've prepared your meal, so eat it alone.”
I felt that Eunyeong became picky.
I thought it was a common morning sickness.
I was eating but Eunyeong didn't enter the room.
Then, he stared at me eating.
"What are you looking at? If you're tired, go into your room and rest."
"I asked our director and manager to come to the Korea-U.S. Businessmen Club presentation next Tuesday."
"He's coming?"
"I want to see the face of the man who stole the most popular announcer on the station."
"I'll just come when I get here. What the hell are you saying?"
"The bachelor producers and announcers at the station had a lot of people looking over me."
"Did you?"
When I laughed, Eunyeong followed me.
I gently touched Eunyeong's stomach that night again.
I wasn't full yet.
Monday has come.
I asked Assistant Manager Choi and Assistant Manager Hong about the contract at the Conrad Hotel during the morning meeting.
"You're through with the contract, aren't you?"”
"I'm done. We had a steak instead of pork cutlet for drinks, fruits, and meals. The hotel also said it would be good. And the placards will be serviced."
"Well done."
"That day, Choi and I decided to act as a guide for those coming."
Zhang said with a smile.
"That one is admirable of Hong."
"When wasn't I proud?”
I looked at Chung and said,
"Korean Air remains the same, right?"
It goes back and forth from 30,000 won. It doesn't taste as stretchy as SillaJen."
I was nervous when the story of SillaJen came out.
Chang said.
"I think we should wait and see what's going on this week. If it continues to be strong by the end of the week, I think I'll have a warning."
I had to play a long-term game with SillaJen, so I couldn't sell it even if a warning came out this time.
How can you sell so many stocks in a day or two like ants?
If I had a small number of shares, I would have to join in raising the stock price, but I didn't have to do that now.
As I have watched Korean Air for a long time, I decided to watch SillaJen for a long time.
Rather, I hoped that the stock would return to its place after eating the warning.
Assistant manager Choi Yu-na said.
"I met Linda Sim of Moellis & Co. on Sunday."
"Is this the Conrad Hotel?"
"Yes, they said they will meet with executive and executive director of Group A's planning office today.“
The executives and executive directors of Group A's planning office were both children of the chairman.
I thought Linda Sim might meet the big shot of Group A. I didn't think it was time for the chairman to step up.
"Assistant Manager Linda Shim, please entertain me well."
"Okay, but Linda Sim says the U.S. Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) is definitely going to raise interest rates on the 14th of this month.”
"Really?"
Jang, who was listening with his arms folded, said.
“Hey, I could have an impact on the Moon Jae-in Lee then?”
The Moon Jae-in Lee accused the opposition party, job creation and to realize the fourth round of the Industrial Revolution, education reform, improving household debt, education policy reform, including one.
If the U.S. raises interest rates, Korea will also be affected.
Moon Jae-in, Lee also be difficult to run so.
Song said.
Raising interest rates is not good for securities firms and private equity firms like us. But we need to make adjustments to reduce household debt."
This time, Hong said.
"I'm against raising interest rates. Moon Jae-in Lee needed to be implemented properly to be upgraded the nation. "
"Even though household debt is the world's third-largest? It's the eighth largest in the world by size. Household debt is rising steeply compared to our economy now."
"I know that. We know that household debt growth is second only to Norway and China."
I asked Deputy Director Song.
"What's the total amount of household debt in our country?”
"1,360 trillion won."
"Hmm. I think we'll be able to tighten the loan even if we don't raise the interest rate."
Chung said.
"1,360 trillion won is an astronomical number. By the way, the balance of deposits in Japan is over 1,000 trillion yen. It's worth about a million won."
"Huck! One kyung won?"
Chang said.
"Isn't it because Japan has a lot of deposits, so they don't take out loans indiscriminately? Doesn't it mean that you and I don't invest in real estate or SillaJen with loans?"
"I think so."
"We ignore Japan as a dog, but this is Japan's reality. What an astronomical amount of money is in the financial world."
"If Korea's interest rates go up, won't Japanese funds flow to Korea? Just like some of the savings banks' money came out of Japan."
As we talked freely with each other, it was close to 9 o'clock when the stock market opened.
We crumpled the paper cups from which we drank coffee and threw them in the trash can and returned to their respective seats.
SillaJen, which was already on fire, was rising fiercely today.
It was heading for 18,000 won.
I was going to add up my account valuation, but I quit.
Today was the day I went to E tower.
I was thinking of going alone, but I remembered what Jang said last time.
When I went to the E Tower building, Jang told me not to go alone but to take an employee with me.
So I was thinking of taking Assistant Manager Hong with me, but I took Assistant Manager Kim Hyung-sook with me.
In addition, Kim Hyung-sook went with him because he was also involved in business affairs.
When Assistant Manager Kim Hyung-sook and I went to E Tower, the executive director and the accounting manager brought back the documents.
I signed the approval form.
However, the amount of the slip was quite large.
"Oh, it's very annoying."
Assistant manager Kim Hyung-sook said with a smile.
"The accountant's office doesn't recognize the slip without the boss's signature. So you have to do it."
I decided to run E-Tower this time alone and Hubert Palmer two years later.
Then I should be the vice-president under the joint venture, but I didn't want to do it any more. So the vice president decided to order one of the employees of JS Invest.
I called the executive director of E tower, Lee Jong-tae.
"Tomorrow, have all eight employees come to the Conrad Hotel."
"I've heard about the creation of a Korean-American business club."
"You can come and sit down for a while, and then go."
"I haven't had a meal in a while at the hotel. The staff will love it."
This made me think that I was glad to prepare a meal with steak, not pork cutlet.
In particular, the head of the security department, who looks like a gangster boss, thought he would eat up enough for two people.
"Sometimes you eat with Hubert, vice president.
"That's what I'm doing. But these days, Vice President Hubert Palmer goes home for lunch. I think she's eating with her wife."
"Is it because Korean food doesn't suit your taste now?"
"I think so, too. Also, I think I feel uncomfortable when I eat with employees who are not good at English. Choi, assistant manager of J.S. Invest, said he hoped someone could speak English well."
"Choi is a U.S. citizen. I'm Korean-American."
"Is that so?"
I felt the need for English education for E Tower building staff.
In addition, there were many foreign companies in the E Tower building, so there were quite a few foreigners.
"How much does E Tower spend on education and training?"
"Not so much. I'll call in the accounting manager for more details."
The head of the accounting department has selected the director of education and training expenses.
The cost of education and training really hasn't been that long. It was only legal education expenses such as fire safety education and sexual harassment prevention education.
"Tell them to go to an English academy. Tell them the company will pay for the education."
"Okay."
Then I remembered Donald Cram, a lecturer at the Yeouido academy I attended.
"When I went to an academy, I went back and forth. We're running out of time, so let's invite a lecturer."
"That would be great."
I called Donald Cram right there.
Donald Cram was very pleased because he said he hoped for a business trip education.
I came back to J.S. Invest's office.
The stock market was already closed.
It confirmed the closing price of SillaJen.
As expected, it was over 18,000 won and soaring beyond time.
"You're overheating?"
All the ants seemed to be packing up a bundle of money and flocking to SillaJen.
