– Barack Obama’s popularity is soaring every day. Doesn’t this really lead to the presidential election? This is a big deal.
– If so, isn’t it good for you too?
Uhuru Kenyatta said that he formed a relationship with Barack Obama while taking care of his family, and that he recently went to the United States and met Barack.
– If that’s the case, won’t you lose the bet?
– That’s fortunate for me.
– ha ha ha. Will you come to Kenya sometime? Come and make a bet with me.
– See you next year.
– People are so stingy. Should I at least send an invitation?
– Haha, I understand. I will come see you when I get a chance.
After hanging up the phone with Uhuru Kenyatta, Kim Cheol-soo immediately turned his attention to the ringing extension phone.
– yes. This is Assistant Manager Kim Cheol-soo of Sales Department 3.
– This is the secretary’s office. Please come to the VIP room on the 42nd floor for a moment.
Click.
I picked up the disconnected phone and thought for a moment about who wanted to meet and for what reason, without any simple business in mind, but no one in particular came to mind.
Kim Cheol-soo told Lee Han-soo that he would go out for a while and then went up to the VIP room on the 42nd floor.
When I knocked and went inside, an old man dressed like a scholar from the Joseon Dynasty was waiting.
‘Who is it?’
He must have been a very high-ranking person if he used the VIP room and the secretary’s office contacted him separately.
Kim Cheol-soo automatically bowed deeply and bowed.
“This is Assistant Manager Kim Cheol-soo of Sales Department 3.”
“hmm. “Are you Kim Cheol-soo’s assistant manager?”
Kim Cheol-soo slowly straightened his back and instinctively smiled when he saw Jo Young-hwan’s cat-like eyes hidden between his eyebrows and wrinkles.
It seemed like if I didn’t smile, my facial expression would be revealed as it was.
‘What kind of eyes?’
“yes. “By the way, why did you come to me?”
“I’m Jo Yeong-hwan. “I am the majority shareholder of this company.”
Younghwan Cho.
There was something that came to Kim Cheol-soo’s mind.
Chairman Choi Kyung-hoon’s father-in-law.
He was a major player in the Myeongdong private bond market in the 1970s and was the largest shareholder in the Hanyoung Group, with the second largest stake after Chairman Choi Kyung-hoon.
“I heard you are producing the best results in the general trading company, so I wanted to take a look at you.”
“I’m honored that the major shareholder views me that way!”
Kim Cheol-soo spoke as if he was really happy, and Jo Young-hwan just laughed.
“He is tall, has a handsome face, has a good personality, and is good at his work, so he will be a great worker in the future.”
“I’m embarrassed.”
Kim Cheol-soo answered as if he didn’t know what to do, and Jo Young-hwan’s eyes lit up slightly.
‘Are you saying that what you’re doing is just like a traitor?’
Afterwards, Jo Young-hwan had a few words with Kim Cheol-soo and found out a lot about him.
Kim Cheol-soo, who could not forget his first look, lowered himself as much as possible and remained humble.
‘It’s not as bad as you think? I may be good at work, but I’m not a character. Kyung-Hoon Choi: I don’t think he has a style that he would like. In the end, did he agree to the marriage because of his daughter’s stubbornness?
Jo Young-hwan, who thought he had some understanding of Kim Cheol-soo, nodded.
“Please continue to work hard.”
“Yes, I understand.”
As Kim Cheol-soo came out of the VIP room and was waiting for the elevator, he turned his eyes to look in the direction where Jo Young-hwan was.
The eyes of a carnivore, as if staring at its prey after starving for several days.
The goosebumps on my arms have not subsided yet.
‘Are you really that kind of person? Or do you have something to do with me?’
The elevator door opened with a ding sound, and Kim Cheol-soo continued to stare at the end of the hallway even after getting inside.
Soon the door closed.
**
“thank you for this food! “Mr. Assistant Manager.”
“yes. “Did you even check that the product was being loaded into a container?”
“Yes, I even took a picture.”
“It’s best to leave as much evidence as possible.”
Hansoo Lee sipped coffee and took a bite of a piece of cake.
After checking various things about his work, Kim Cheol-soo quietly approached Lee Han-soo.
I made an appointment with Choi Won-jun this evening, but it was because Kim Cheol-soo knew very little about him.
“Wonjun hyung is just ordinary. There are no sharp corners. “You can think of him as a person who acts according to common sense.”
Hansoo Lee explained briefly and thought of the Choi family of SKY Group.
Although SKY Group and Shido Group had almost no overlapping business, they did not form strategic alliances as actively as Hanyoung Group.
It wasn’t even a size that could be compared.
Kim Cheol-soo was already attracting attention in the group and was meeting Choi Hye-na.
It has been a long time since Lee Han-soo calculated that when he took over the group in the future, he could benefit from the business side by utilizing Kim Cheol-soo.
In that case, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to help the Hanyoung Group grow further.
“There’s been some incidents on SKY recently.”
Kim Cheol-soo looked at Lee Han-soo while drinking coffee.
“It hasn’t been in the media yet, but there was a feud between SKY Group Chairman Choi Keun-sik and his wife, Vice Chairman Noh Jeong-sook. “It’s probably something that even Assistant Manager Kim doesn’t know.”
Kim Cheol-su looked at Lee Han-su with wide eyes, but something flashed through his mind.

‘Ah, that incident!’
“is it so? “What happened?”
“Vice Chairman Noh Jeong-sook reported Chairman Keun Keun-sik to the prosecution for embezzlement.”
“yes? “They are a married couple…”
Hansoo Lee answered with a bitter expression.
“This floor is like that. You can be in a relationship with the person you love, but you can’t get married to just anyone. Especially when you have many siblings, you have to choose between love and equity, and you usually choose equity. “Chairman Choi Keun-sik and Vice Chairman Noh Jeong-sook can be seen as a contractual marriage.”
“okay.”
In the end, Chairman Geun-sik Choi ends up in prison for three years.
“If you can take advantage of that incident, do it.”
Kim Cheol-soo lightly nodded at Lee Han-soo’s advice.
“Are you going to do the same to Yumi, Hansoo Lee?”
Lee Han-su shook his head at Kim Cheol-soo’s words.
“Because I am the only one who will inherit the group. “Whoever I marry is my choice.”
“Maybe we can grow the company further?”
“Compared to karma… it is already big enough. I plan to find love and find utility. “If Assistant Manager Kim becomes a high-ranking member of the Hanyoung Group in the future, I think we will be good partners.”
“So are you giving us this information as well?”
Kim Cheol-soo smiled, and Lee Han-soo also smiled secretly.
“hmm. “I don’t want to be an enemy with Assistant Manager Kim, and I want to always maintain a good relationship.”
**
After work, Kim Cheol-soo got on the bus and headed to the meeting place.
Accusation of corruption and embezzlement by the Chairman of SKY Group.
The fact that the chairman of a large group ended up in prison without being able to do anything was an incident that will be talked about for a long time.
Chaebols who reign above the law.
The only thing that can make them like that are other conglomerates who reign above the law.
The reason the media is not making a fuss yet is probably because the prosecution is not officially investigating.
The fact that the prosecution did not begin the investigation meant that there was a power struggle internally.
Chairman Choi Geun-sik going to jail means he is losing out in the power struggle.
Now things were going against him.
‘aperture!’
The government, which had just escaped the foreign exchange crisis, was focusing on economic growth.
A contract with Yushenko in his hand.
I thought that if I put these things together, I might be able to acquire SKY Teletech on better terms than I expected.
In front of a Japanese restaurant at a famous hotel near Jangchung-dong.
After adjusting his clothes, Kim Cheol-su opened the door and went inside.
Who on earth is Kim Cheol-soo?
“hello. “This is Kim Cheol-soo, assistant manager at Hanyoung General Trading Company.”
Wonjun Choi just nodded and pointed to the seat across from him.
“nice to meet you. “My name is Wonjun Choi, the CEO of SKY Energy.”
A cheap suit, tie, and an old briefcase.
Black shoes that don’t look expensive, but are well polished and shiny.
Wonjun Choi saw those things in his eyes.
Thinking that this would have been uncomfortable if I hadn’t listened to Lee Han-soo, I made eye contact with Kim Cheol-soo.
“You wanted to meet me?”
Kim Cheol-soo bowed his head slightly and answered.
“yes.”
“It seems like you are quite close with Hansoo. “Because of that guy’s persistent persuasion, I put aside my busy schedule and came out to meet Kim Cheol-soo.”
“okay.”
“So, why do you want to see me?”
In fact, when I heard that it was affiliated with Hanyoung General Trading Company, I assumed it was because of the SKY Teletech case.
Even though the meal hasn’t been served yet, Choi Won-jun urgently asks about business.
Kim Cheol-soo turned his gaze and looked around.
“I didn’t specifically want to meet President Choi Won-jun.”
The corner of Choi Won-jun’s eye twitched at the unexpected answer.
‘What is this, you bastard?’
Kim Cheol-soo continued as he looked at Choi Won-jun, who was looking at him with unpleasant eyes.
“The only person who was close to Mr. Hansoo was CEO Wonjun Choi.”
SKY Group, the third largest company in Korea.
Choi Won-jun, the second son of its leader, Chairman Geun-sik Choi.
How many people would dare say something like this in front of themselves?
And that too, as an ordinary employee of a mediocre group that barely made it into the top 10 companies.
Choi Won-jun looked Kim Cheol-soo up and down with an absurd expression.
“Are you out to make fun of me now?”
In response to Choi Won-jun’s hostile question, Kim Cheol-soo smiled calmly.
A very common sense reaction that ordinary people might have.
Kim Cheol-soo answered slowly, running a simulation in his head of what Choi Won-jun was thinking.
“Did I really come here to make fun of President Choi? “I came to talk about something important.”
“And what is that tone of voice?”
“Then what should I think when I look at you with such disdain?”
“···.”
Choi Won-jun made an absurd expression as he saw Kim Cheol-soo answering calmly without saying a word.
‘What kind of guts does this bastard have?’
Choi Won-jun, who felt strange for some reason, glared at Kim Cheol-soo and said.
“What is that important story?”
When Choi Won-jun showed impatience, Kim Cheol-soo quietly took his step away.
“I didn’t eat lunch today because I was told I was going to eat at a nice restaurant. “I’m a little hungry. Can we talk slowly while we eat?”
Wonjun Choi burst out laughing as if he were deluded without even realizing it.
As the president of a company, Wonjun Choi has already met many employees.
I could tell that the person in front of me was quite an unusual person.
He was definitely not an ordinary human being seen around him.
Unlike employees in the company who are busy bowing their heads and backs whenever they see him, he looks straight in the eyes and tries to beat himself up.
I felt bad at first, but that hostility gradually turned into curiosity and liking.
‘What are you talking about?’
Choi Won-jun, who was spinning his head, called a waiter.
After asking for two servings of the most expensive course meal in this restaurant, I looked at Kim Cheol-soo.
“I hope you pay for dinner today.”
“Actually, I thought the boss would roll out a red carpet and come out to meet us.”
Choi Won-jun burst into laughter at Kim Cheol-soo’s more shocking answer.
Kim Cheol-soo gave a refreshing feeling to him, who had only dealt with typical people, and he felt that this evening was already not a waste of time.
“Are you a comedian by any chance?”
“no. president.”
They enjoyed their meal and talked about various things, forgetting about the main topic.
As the meal was almost over, Wonjun Choi suddenly opened his mouth.
“Mr. Kim Cheol-soo. “Why did you want to meet me?”
The wary look or the condescending look in his eyes from the beginning was no longer there.
A smile full of joy.
Kim Cheol-soo slowly opened his mouth.
“I would like to acquire SKY Teletech from Hanyoung Group.”
Wonjun Choi made a sad expression.
“I can’t help you because that has already been decided within the group. Pantech is a company that played a critical role in defending our group from being consumed by Sovereign. But the Hanyoung Group and we have virtually no ties whatsoever.”
He looked at Kim Cheol-soo and shook his head again.
“What if?”
Kim Cheol-soo said while looking at Choi Won-jun, who was shaking his head.
“If there was a business case that could generate 300 billion won in sales every year, would you still support Pantech?”
Wonjun Choi widened his eyes.
“300 billion every year?”
