The next day came.

Today was Chobok, July 12th.

At the morning meeting, Chang briefly explained the details of the Pitestech board meeting yesterday.

Because JS Invest also has money invested in Pitestech.

"Pitestech is cruising with a half-year sales of 25 billion won. I think the interest on the loan from our company will be received steadily."

Hong said.

"Then by the end of the year, it'll be about 50 billion won."

"That's what I see."

"My diary says Pietestech's sales last year were 41.6 billion won. Wow, then sales growth is over 20 percent."

"Yes."

"Wow, awesome..."

Then Assistant Manager Hong quickly covered his mouth and looked at me.

It was because 100% of the capital of Pitestech was my sole stake.

Chang went on to say.

"Today is July 12th. The vacation below will start on July 15th. The vacation period is 3 nights and 4 days. Please submit your vacation application form to Hong stating the schedule you would like to go to."

Assistant Manager Kim Hyung-sook said.

"If you travel to China during the summer vacation, be careful of Beijing. According to the news, there are already 27 cases of avian influenza in Beijing this year. AI fear from China is being rebuilt."

Chang said.

"Scientists warned that strange pathogens will frequently attack humanity in the future. It would be a big deal if we had a disease that was scarier and faster than avian influenza."

This was also when Corona 19 did not spread.

"I think we should keep an eye on bio-related stocks in the future."

"Yes, you've seen a recent surge in SillaJen, and you've even had a warning."

Song said, looking into Jang's face.

"However, China is a country. I heard that hedge funds that invest heavily in China have a good return on technology, the Internet, and consumer goods.”

"I heard the story, too. He said he had a 13% return."

"Yes, that's fine for a private equity firm."

Assistant manager Choi Yu-na said.

"I heard Japanese funds are looking for vitality these days, too. As the yen depreciates, the Japanese stock market seems to be heating up."

"If the value of the yen goes down, maybe so.“

I looked quietly into the face of Song and Assistant Manager Choi Yu-na, who spoke.

Looking at their faces, I remembered what Chang said yesterday on the Dulegil of Mount Morak.

Song kept thinking of a pretty woman who was old, and Choi Yu-na's face reminded him of a man who left a scar.

In the office, moreover, I tried to shake it off by thinking about it during work hours, but it didn't work out.

Jung said,

There are many fund companies that are doing well in Korea. Recently, private equity firms have taken over securities firms."

Hong said with his eyes wide open.

"Securities? Do you have a private equity firm like that? I wish our J.S. Invest would do the same."

"The private equity fund operator Q Capital Partners has acquired SK Securities."

"SK securities? Why does SK sell the securities company that it has when it is a conglomerate group?”

Chang answered instead.

"I'll tell you that. SK Group is doing so because of a ban on holding companies from owning shares in financial companies."

"Well, is that so?"

After hearing their stories, I thought I'd have a lot to refer to when I grow up.

"That's why we tried to sell it quietly, but when it didn't work, we went public."

"Then is it a competitive bidding method?"

"Yes."

"If it were a competitive bidding method, it would have stuck to both big moneylenders and securities firms, but the private equity firm took over.”

"Well, the private equity firm was chosen because they were looking for a candidate to take over the employees' employment succession and brand maintenance."

Jung said,

"It seems like securities firms are becoming global. Zhao Shang Securities Co., China's seventh-largest brokerage house, is also said to have entered the Korean market."

"Really? People who are interested in Chinese stocks will go to use it a lot."

Hong said with a smile.

I hope our company will also acquire securities firms and have branches in China and the United States. "Then acting manager Choi Yu-na will be the head of the U.S. branch, and the head of the Chinese branch will

When Chang looked at Hong and frowned, Hong flung his tongue and shrugged his head.

Chang said.

"There's a saying that if you make money from the original stock, you should bury it. I think that's because stocks are easy to get when money comes in."

"Hmm. Put it in the ground..."

"If you earn from stocks, invest in real estate. That's why you want to buy a building and take over a company with the money you earned from the stock market."

I nodded because I thought it was right.

After the meeting, I just checked the stock price of SillaJen on Naver.

In July and August, I tried not to look at the stock market because I thought it would go a long way, but I was still interested in the stock market's ups and downs.

As expected, SillaJen went up and down at around 23,000 won.

I didn't worry too much because I've raised the low point a lot.

I got a text message.

It was from the Foreign Cooperation Agency of Jijap University in South Chungcheong Province, where I graduated.

He said that he would ask his proud senior to support the scholarship.

I was looking at the text message for a long time and got a call. It was a young woman's call.

"This is OOO University's Office of Foreign Cooperation. I sent you a text message, did you see it?”

"I saw it."

"You sent me a lot of donations last time, and I would appreciate your cooperation this time as well. It's very difficult because schools are in the countryside."

"Okay, I'll let you go."

I wasn't in a good mood.

It was because they looked like debt-pushing people.

I hung up the phone and was thinking of sending 1 million won like last time, but I sent only 200,000 won in donations.

It's Friday.

Today was the day the board of directors of Mokang Tech was held.

I took General Chang by my side and went to Ansungel, where Morgang Tech was, as I did the last time I went to Pitestek.

"It seems like it's been a long time since Mogang Tech went there."

"I think so. I heard that Mogang Tech's products are also well-made, right? Other companies say they can't imitate."

"Mogang Tech says you've made your own products with the skills you've learned in the field since you were young."

"As far as I know, I've heard that Mr. Morgang Tech isn't much of an educated man, but he's great. Pitestech is the one that KAIST's doctors stick to and work on, and that's what they do with field-cooked technology."

"Now we have a research institute at Mogang Tech, and we have master's and doctoral researchers, but in the early days, I respect that it was created solely by your technology."

"I hear you know what's wrong with your appliances just by hearing them?"

"The kids at EMG set tried to make a living out of that company..."

"Most companies invest in facilities when orders increase. At times like this, we need money, so we have no choice but to increase our borrowing. There are also cases where there are no orders, so we can borrow money from operating funds."

"So companies need some internal reserves."

While we were talking, the car was getting off the highway.

Just in time, a smartphone plugged in in front of the car's dashboard rang an alarm.

When I saw what message came in, it was a text from my alma mater.

I looked at it roughly and it was a text of thanks for sending me 200,000 won yesterday.

I asked General Manager Chang.

"These days, universities seem to be running out of money, don't they?”

"No, universities are rich these days."

"Really? There was a university asking for donations yesterday, so I thought it was financially weak."

I didn't say that I graduated from a college. It's just a university asking for donations."

"Universities will ask for donations even if they have money. You bastards! If you're a businessman, you can't help but sponsor a donation.”

"Even if you have money, that'

"The college's reserves amount to a whopping 8.2 trillion won."

"Is that so many?”

"The largest reserve is Hongik University, which is now over 700 billion won."

"Wow, that's great."

"I once visited a private university. I went there to encourage him to invest in the fund, and he smelled it, and he just robbed me of all the money he had no money.”

"Haha, did you?"

"There is a high possibility that it went to a private equity firm run by the chairman's relatives. By the way, is it a local university that asked the president for donations?"

"Yes, it's a local university."

"Finance may be weak for local universities. Universities will also be very polarized."

"I think so."

"Some local universities will be closed if government support is cut off if they said.

I didn't want my university to be closed.

I thought it wouldn't be possible to close the school because it was a university where many Chinese students come in.

I arrived at Mokang Tech Company.

Here, too, the security guard gave a hand salute when he saw the Mercedes coming in.

But there was no one in front of the front door like Pitestech.

Chang and I went up to the president's office.

The boss welcomed me. The boss grew attached to him and felt like a friend.

"I'm going to say hello to the president."

"Let's do that. He's already waiting."

The chairman sat cross-legged on the sofa reading the newspaper.

As we entered, he looked at me over the magnifying glass and stood up with a smile.

"Isn't that Choi? Good to see you?"

"Are you healthy?"

"I heard you went to the G Group Chairman's villa. Thank you for giving me 50 years of Royal Salute, which is hard to find."

Then he reached out his hand.

General Manager Chang glanced at my face.

I thought he was the boss who goes to the Conrad Hotel to get a massage after reading the newspaper every day, but he seemed to see him as a person who does politics under the water.

Royal Salute, which is hard to find, seemed to be seen again as a man who was looking for a chaebol villa with a 50-year-old liquor.

The chairman also reached out to Chang and said,

"You said your last name was Jang, right? Let's sit in a chair."

"Yes."

General Manager Chang politely sat down in the chair.

The pretty-looking secretary brought her a car.

The chairman was still healthy and up and down.

He was also called a legend in the electronics industry.

asked the chairman.

"You bought the E Tower building."

"It was acquired jointly with a private equity firm in the United States."

"Good job. Real estate is the best when a lot of money is released and interest rates are cheap. President Choi has a very good eye.”

"I borrowed it from all the banks."

"Borrowing is an ability. Who borrows tens of billions of won? That's how I borrow money because I'm president Choi."

Jang, who was listening, nodded as if he was right.

The chairman said, looking into the face of his son, the president of Mokang Tech.

"You said President Choi's Pitestech will file a preliminary review of KOSDAQ next year, right?"

"Yes."

"If there's anything we, Morgang Tech, can you help me?"

"Okay, but Vice President Han Kwang-jin is doing so well, so it'll work out."

"Hmm. That one is a smart friend, too."

The chairman called Vice President Han Kwang-jin Han a "military" if he had known him before.

The offer of the president of Mogang Tech
