– Our company cannot pay the acquisition price they are asking for. There will also be problems on the creditor side. I would like to expand my current business.
This was the final conclusion reached at the Korean-English IT management meeting.
But Choi Oh-jun did not agree with their thoughts.
First of all, the business models of SKY Communications and SKY Telecom were in conflict with each other.
As the number of Internet messenger and SNS users exploded, SKY Telecom’s mobile phone text service profits inevitably decreased.
Choi Oh-jun thought that if there were difficulties in SKY Telecom, the largest business of the SKY Group, pressure would inevitably be placed on SKY Communications and it would become difficult to do business properly.
‘SKY Communications can’t do well. So the executives are so stupid. ‘It’s hard to work with things like that.’
Choi Oh-jun was lost in thought as he looked through Kim Cheol-soo’s plan sent by Park Moo-young.
The most influential portals in Korea were Naver, Daum, Yahoo, Google, and Nate.
Except for Naver and Daum, the rest were just minor portals.
Considering Koreans’ tendency to like flashy things, Google was an exception.
Nate was growing in earnest at SKY Telecom, and the size of Naver and Daum was enormous, so the only thing left was Yahoo.
For Yahoo to become an influential site in Korea, it needed an SNS with a huge number of members like Cyworld.
“If we can’t provide funds, shouldn’t we encourage those with more money to provide funds? “If only Yahoo’s Masayoshi Son can be persuaded, the rest will likely proceed smoothly.”
It was Son Masayoshi who decided in 5 minutes to invest $20 million in an ugly Chinese English teacher who had nothing.
There was no way I could turn down a project with such high potential.
‘Perhaps we can increase the size of Korean-English IT by more than 10 times. ‘I don’t need to listen to stupid management.’
The warnings from management have long since disappeared from the mind of Choi Oh-jun, who always thinks he is the best.
After calling the intercom and ordering the secretary to enter Yahoo’s intention, I was about to get up to participate in the evening meeting when my cell phone rang.
He was the CEO of the company of which he was the majority shareholder.
– Yes, this is Choi Oh-jun.
– how are you? This is Hong Eui-chan.
It has already been two years since dividends were not received due to poor management performance.
Although Hong Ui-chan was dissatisfied with the way he greeted her with a smile, Choi Oh-jun managed to suppress his rising emotions and reply.
– Well, that’s right. Any good news?
– I think I’ll give you some good news this evening.
– Oh, is that so? Even though you are losing money every year, do you even have a delicious dinner?
At the cynical answer, laughter came again from the other end of the phone.
– It’s still the same. President Choi. I think I can sell Freechal.
Choi Oh-jun made a welcoming expression upon hearing those words.
-Who will take over that trouble?
– Uh, don’t you know that this is done by Hanyoung Group? Also, I thought it was the boss’s job…
– yes?
Choi Oh-jun tried to put on the outerwear that was hanging on the chair with one hand, but stopped.
– You really didn’t know? Hanyoung Corporation has made an acquisition offer.
– yes? Hanyoung General Trading Company?
Choi Oh-jun frowned.
Then, I put the clothes I was going to wear on the chair and sat down on the chair.
– Could you please elaborate?
I hope you watch
“That’s unexpected.”
Robert left the Solbon building with a gloomy expression.
Song Jin-young, who was in a good mood because of the successful negotiation with I Love School, also looked at the night street after the sun had set with bloodshot eyes.
“Such a ridiculous amount… Something is strange. “It was Freechal that was acquired from the beginning with the intention of selling it somewhere, right?”
The amount amounted to 150 billion won.
According to Kyung-Jeon Lee’s report, it was acquired for around 15 billion won, which is much cheaper than the market price.
So, the price they are asking now is 10 times the acquisition price.
Freechal went downhill when its CEO, Jeong Jae-hwan, was suddenly arrested when it started paying.
Therefore, the expected acquisition price was around 3 to 5 billion won…
The problem was the sudden change in attitude.
Just a little while ago, I clearly stated that I would consider it positively, so the meeting was quickly scheduled.
Even when I called to confirm at 5pm, my voice was quite uplifted.
But after a while, there was not a single concession at the meeting.
Something must have happened in the past two hours.
However, Kim Cheol-soo was also taken aback by something unexpected, but he maintained a calm expression on the outside.
“I told you earlier that it would be different from I Love School. “For now, let’s just say we confirmed each other’s intentions.”
Jinyoung Song nodded with a tired expression, and Robert still seemed lost in thought, stroking his chin.
“First of all, since it’s late, let’s go eat. “I will drive on the way.”
Kim Cheol-soo took the lead and walked forward, and soon the company car started.
Even after leaving, the car was quiet.
Robert, sitting in the back seat, looked at Kim Cheol-soo and opened his mouth.
“manager.”
“yes.”
“··· There’s something I didn’t tell you.”
Kim Cheol-soo glanced at Robert in the rearview mirror and answered.
“it’s okay. Please speak.”
“I have a close relationship with CEO Jeong Jae-hwan, the founder of Freechal.”
Jinyoung Song widened her eyes and turned her head towards Robert.

“how?”
“When Korean VIP customers travel to North America, they often use the travel agency I run.”
Cheolsu Kim also focused on Robert’s words with interesting eyes.
“When he started his business, he came to the United States for investment purposes, and I connected him with GE Capital. “After that, we contacted him occasionally, but after he went to prison for embezzlement in 2003, we never contacted him again.”
“What kind of person are you?”
“hmm···. He’s a good friend. At that time, I believed in his passion and actually made some investments together. “I understand that five companies invested approximately $10 million at the time.”
“Is that so.”
“Even after launching a paid service, I received a call saying they wanted to sell it to another company because there was no suitable business model. “Can you connect me with an American company?”
Kim Cheol-soo stopped his car on the side of a quiet road.
“I answered that it was difficult in the U.S. because the dot-com bubble had just burst, but that I could connect them with a Korean telecommunications company.”
Jinyoung Song looked at Robert with the eyes of a stranger.
“Well, somehow… Currently, he is the majority shareholder, holding 4.7% of Solbon’s shares. Of course, it is not in my name, but in the name of the investment company. So, President Hong Eui-chan, whom I met today, probably doesn’t know anything about me.”
Jinyoung Song said.
“Why are you saying that now, Robert?”
“Isn’t this a situation that could be insider trading?”
“···.”
Kim Cheol-soo could guess why Robert brought up this story.
“With that much stake, you might be able to hold an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders, right?”
“yes. “You might ask why we didn’t do that even though we could sell Freechal at a good price.”
After a while, the car started moving again, and Kim Cheol-soo nodded and said.
“Let’s move slowly for now, Robert.”
“yes.”
“Is it possible for me to meet President Jeong Jae-hwan?”
“of course.”
Robert answered willingly, and Cheolsu Kim also smiled and nodded.
Only Song Jin-young still looked like he couldn’t believe it.
“Robert, how can I become like Robert?”
Robert calmly answered Jinyoung Song’s question.
“Having lived to this age, this is how the world works. “I lived hard until my 30s, but from my 40s, money started coming in on my own.”
“Oh, really?”
“When I was in my 30s, I traveled the world with my wife for four years. And the day she returned to Korea, she had no money to stay at an inn, so she pitched her old tent and slept out in the open.”
“··· really?”
“I worked part-time for 20 hours a day and used the money to buy a plane ticket. That’s how I went to America and opened a travel agency.”
Jinyoung Song focused on Robert’s story with his mouth wide open.
“and···! You really don’t know anything about people. “Can I live like that?”
“Is there any reason not to?”

[Isn’t it ironic that people who need love more than anyone else actually act like they don’t need it?]
Irony.
contradiction.
Lee Gyeong-jeon came out alone to the Sky Garden and looked down blankly.
It was evening so the surroundings were already dark.
After asking around, I found out that the HR team was where the rumors of an affair between Team Leader Kim and Song Jin-young started.
Lee Gyeong-jeon always thought of himself as a just person.
They point out the other person’s mistakes and sometimes use physical force.
‘What do we do? ‘What should I do?’
I firmly believed that it all ultimately came from a sense of justice, but I could not bear the fact that I had participated in slandering others.
“Assistant Manager Lee Gyeong-jeon?”
While he was alone with his worries, Lee Gyeong-jeon turned his head when he heard someone calling him.
They were employee Jang Yu-mi of the resource development team and assistant manager Lee Han-soo of the organizing team.
“Ah yes. hello.”
It had already been a month since I joined the company, but we were still unfamiliar with each other.
Hansoo Lee handed over a can of coffee he was holding.
“Oh, thank you.”
“No. “I bought it to talk to Team Leader Kim, but he wasn’t there.”
“yes. “He’s probably on his way back to work now.”
Lee Han-soo and Jang Yu-mi were the official company couple.
At other companies I’ve worked for so far, it was unthinkable for couples to work together.
Of course, Hanyoung Corporation was not without such an atmosphere.
But these were a little different.
– Chiik!
Jang Yu-mi opened her mouth while opening a can of coffee.
“Assistant Manager Lee, have you heard any rumors?”
Lee Gyeong-jeon’s expression hardened.
“which···.”
“There are rumors that Team Leader Kim Cheol-soo is involved in an affair.”
“Ah yes. I know.”
As Lee Gyeong-jeon nodded with a serious face, Jang Yu-mi burst into laughter.
“Is that really why you’re worried so much?”
“··· yes?”
“Team leader Kim Cheol-soo and I joined the company in the same year.”
“Oh, is that so?”
It was the deputy manager and the employee.
The distant difference in rank,
Of course, this was an unexpected fact.
“I kind of liked team leader Kim Cheol-soo.”
“Puhup! “Ugh…!”
Lee Gyeong-jeon, who was choking on coffee and gulping, looked at Jang Yu-mi and Lee Han-su alternately with red eyes.
“Uh, that… excuse me···”
“You might like it. “Young men and women.”
Looking at Lee Gyeong-jeon’s shocked expression, Jang Yu-mi chuckled.
Hansoo Lee, standing next to him, was kicking the floor while looking at the distant sky.
‘What is this… ‘What on earth are these people doing?’
Jang Yu-mi soon stopped laughing and shook her head.
“It’s a joke.”
“···.”
“Anyway, other female employees also approached Team Leader Kim a lot. And they all failed. “There weren’t any rumors going around at all.”
At that moment, a thought crossed Lee Gyeong-jeon’s mind.
“There were no rumors…”
Hansoo Lee, who was standing still, opened his mouth.
“I’m telling you not to worry too much. “Team Leader Kim, you’re not that kind of person.”
People on competing teams actively defend you.
‘Normally, if you’re doing well, there’s always all kinds of envy and jealousy.’
By the time he finished drinking the can of coffee, Lee Gyeong-jeon’s expression became much more relaxed.
“Then let’s go down first. “Thank you for the coffee.”
“yes. Please go in carefully.”
Looking at the back of Lee Gyeong-jeon moving away, Lee Han-soo opened his mouth.
“Like Team Leader Pyo said, there’s something a little strange, right?”
“I think there’s something there. “It was quiet until now, but it became noisy after the team was formed.”
“No matter what, there are rumors that Team Leader Kim Cheol-soo is having an affair.”
“That’s right.”
A short silence followed, and Lee Hansu tapped a stone on the floor and asked.
“··· But did you really like Team Leader Kim?”
“What did you say?”
“yes? Ah, no…”
“You really believe that?”
“Of course not. however···.”
“You don’t even trust your girlfriend?”
“No, wait a minute. Mr. Yumi!”
Jang Yu-mi turned around and quickly took the lead, and Lee Han-soo urgently followed behind.
