The Chaebeol’s Youngest Son Chapter 127

[127]Jab then straight 2

“I will use my money to make sure you have what you want.”

“If you don’t want to lose that money… .”

“Be confident first. Aren’t you the person who created the best film company in Korea? “You will do well.”

My father’s brothers wasted tens of billions of dollars on baseless confidence, but he was the only one who made more than the money he invested and grew the company.

If you gain confidence, you will be able to do well in large-scale businesses beyond small scale.

My father was silent for a while, but when he spoke again, he seemed to have made up his mind.

“Then what can I do? “Of course, assuming it succeeds.”

“Have strength. And you can share that power with me.”

“strength? Are you misunderstanding something? At best, it’s a movie. Maybe we could even create a drama. But what power do I have as a mere producer and distributor?”

The future is not about money or physical or legal power alone. If many people listen to what they say, that person is powerful.

Public sentiment is the will of heaven, and whoever moves public opinion is the power. The power comes from large speakers. The father is fully capable of holding cultural power.

That time was not far away, and my father was still young. It will be enough to serve as a strong supporter to support me 10 years from now.

“You don’t know what’s going on in the world, do you? “It is a world that changes every day.”

My father looked at me silently and quenched his thirst with a sip of beer.

“If you only gave up the Sunyang Group, our family would live comfortably. “You run a good investment company, and I make movies.”

“Do you want me to give up?”

“no. It’s just like a father’s wish. I want my son to live in peace. But I don’t have the slightest desire to force a life I don’t want.”

My father laughed and tapped my shoulder.

“If you tell a carnivore to live by eating grass, it will end up dead. “I was born as a fierce beast, so I live by eating others.”

“Then what about your father? “Are you a herbivore?”

“Until now, I lived like a cow in a pasture. But now I have to live like a wild buffalo.”

“A wild water buffalo can defeat most carnivores, right?”

“Shouldn’t I improve my constitution for my son’s sake? haha.”

When I saw my father sipping a cold beer, a question arose.

Is my father, who inherited the blood of a predator, a true herbivore?

* * *

I pretended to be crazy and stayed at the Ritz-Carlton for a week.

I forgot how much money I lost and only cared about making sure my parents had a good time. I don’t know when I will have time like this again in the future. For this moment, I wanted to live like an herbivore grazing grass in peace.

A week later, my father returned to Korea, swearing that there was more to prepare. What’s interesting is that Sangjun hyung also rode the plane together.

I was scratching my head wondering why I would spend foreign currency if I was just lounging around anyway.

When I returned to New York, I recovered the money I had invested in dot-com companies and selected stable, long-term investments.

I also studied diligently by listening to explanations from the company’s experts about another monster, derivatives.

Meanwhile, time passed quickly.

President Bill Clinton issued a public apology for the s*x scandal with Monica Lewinsky, and watched Se-Ri Pak’s LPGA match in person and cheered her on. I also wanted to watch Park Chan-ho’s game, but it wasn’t easy to find the time, so I had to be content with watching it on TV.

September 4th. On the historic day when Google, a company officially launched, did not forget to enjoy a huge party with the two geniuses.

When the bitter cold wind announced that winter was fast approaching, I met Michael Dell.

When I saw Michael struggling in the PC market, which has now become a red ocean, he seemed amazing again.

Isn’t this someone who will show the ability to hold on for the next 20 years or more?

I boarded a plane to Korea just as the tree appeared, indicating that it was soon Christmas season.

The person who welcomed me the most in Korea was not my parents or grandfather, but my aunt Jin Seo-yoon.

When I entered the house, my father and mother were comforting my aunt who was covered in tears.

“Do you know how long I waited for you? “I couldn’t go because Representative Oh blocked me from going to the United States right away.”

Before I even unpacked my luggage, my aunt sat me down and started complaining.

“What’s going on?”

My aunt told me in detail about the fact that my grandfather had a super son around the time I left for New York.

In any case, one goal was achieved. Jinyoung-Jun Jin was chased away to Geoje Island. He could feel his grandfather’s anger even without seeing it.

But what about divorce?

It is difficult to determine whether he is trying to tame his uncle or is sincere.

No matter how ordinary they may be, is there any parent who would urge their daughter to divorce?

“aunt. What can I do? I think my grandfather is very angry… … .”

“You can persuade your father a little. “Even if no one else knows, he listens to what you say.”

Even my father, who was worse off, opened his mouth.

“Sister, then what about your brother-in-law? “Does your brother-in-law know about this?”

“I haven’t been able to say anything yet. “How do I bring up the divorce story?”

Even my aunt, who seemed cold, was hiding the appearance of an ordinary woman.

I wouldn’t have been able to show this to anyone. The brothers are not family, but competitors and are at each other’s throats.

It would have been different if I had met him alone. She may have been seen talking and discussing problems while maintaining her composure, but the moment she saw her father and mother, a side of her that had been hidden came out.

Because my parents are the only family that isn’t my competition.

“By the way, what happened to the prosecution? Are you still setting me up?”

“no. It was completed at the level of moving to the position of the chief prosecutor in charge. “Your grandfather also took the initiative to sort it out.”

My father winked at me as he looked at my aunt wiping away her tears.

I quietly followed my father out into the garden.

“You don’t get involved.”

“yes?”

“You haven’t spoken to Sehyun yet, right? “Sehyun looked around and said that your uncle seems to be playing into the hands of Daehyun Group.”

“Daehyun?”

“okay. They said that it was at Daehyun’s request that Hanseong Ilbo suddenly turned around. “Then wouldn’t it be obvious?”

My uncle’s new sponsor was Daehyun Group?

“There’s no way your grandfather doesn’t know this. That’s why you put the ultimate threat of divorce. Isn’t Daehyun the only competitor in the business world? This is a betrayal that can never be forgiven. The moment you bring this issue up, that anger is contagious to you. “You know what I mean, right?”

Of course I understood what he meant.

“yes. I will shut my mouth and pretend not to notice. Father, please comfort my aunt. “I’m going up to my room.”

I went back into the living room and spoke to my devastated aunt.

“aunt. I’ll come see you tomorrow. “Let’s talk again then.”

I have no intention of doing anything for my aunt or uncle.

However, the separation of department stores and hotels, which are quite good businesses, is something to consider.

Did the grandfather really think about giving his daughter these companies? She doesn’t need to think long.

Although it may be a golf course, separating department stores and hotels is usually not difficult. In order to escape the spider’s web-like governance structure, a huge amount of stocks must be purchased.

My grandfather and his family own less than 3% of the stock. In order to separate the affiliates, you have to buy back the stocks held by each affiliate, but I am not the type of person to spend money on this.

If he is sincere, he will give it to his aunt regardless of whether she divorces him or not.

I lay on the bed in my room and thought deeply. Should I take this opportunity to take control of the department store and hotel?

* * *

The next morning, the aunt I met at the department store showed her arrogant side as if she had never been like that before.

“Did I look ugly yesterday? “I guess I drank some alcohol and got drunk.”

“I like yesterday’s aunt, don’t you?”

“Speaking of nonsense… .”

My aunt smiled softly. There was an awkward silence for a moment. From the look on her aunt’s face, it was clear she had something to say to me. I also have something to say. It’s a matter of timing who will bring it out and how.

Of course, my aunt, who had many regrets, cleared her throat a few times and opened her mouth.

“what do you think?”

“What?”

“Let’s stop being pretentious. No matter how much you try to deny it, it’s already too late. You will inherit part of Sunyang in your father’s place. “The size just depends on how good you are.”

What is it?

Are you asking for help? Or should we hold hands?

“I don’t deny it. “I’m already guessing.”

When I spoke with a slightly embarrassed expression, my aunt’s eyes sparkled.

“Anyway, this is a fight between adults. No matter how much you inherit, your uncles will not leave you alone. They will try to take it from you by any means necessary. “If you’re lucky, you’ll buy it at a high price.”

“What about your aunt?”

“me? I don’t have anything yet. “That’s why I’m worried.”

“Department stores, hotels, condos, golf courses. “Isn’t this a small amount?”

My aunt frowned.

“Are you telling me to get a divorce?”

“The choice is up to the aunt. Is it your husband? Are you pure? But I don’t think my aunt is the kind of person who would give up Sunyang because of her husband.”

“You can make quick choices based on your thoughts.”

“yes? What are you saying… ?”

“How about we join forces to protect what you will have and what I will have, or rather, to have something bigger?”

I feel anxious.

The grandfather’s actions of sending his eldest grandson into exile and dismissing his son-in-law may have been seen as a quick move to decide the succession. His aunt is also under pressure to secure her territory before it is too late.

“What happens if we join forces? “Specifically.”

When I showed interest, my aunt quickly sat down next to me.

“Half of everything we will ever have. Let’s divide it like that. I will gather people who will help us. Half of Sunyang Group’s power is held by executives, including the presidents of affiliates. There is no monarch without subjects. “You know that well, right?”

I looked worried for a while. And then he slowly opened his mouth.

“First, take what your grandfather gives you. Don’t try to get big things at once. Metallurgy. That is the correct order.”

My aunt’s face distorted.

“Are you asking for a divorce? now?”

“Your aunt should hold the sword hilt. “I can’t do anything if I’m dragged around like this.”

“How can divorce become the hilt of a sword?”

“It’s not a divorce, it’s divorce papers. Hand out the divorce papers to your uncle. Are you going to fall flat at your aunt’s feet right now? As a politician, being Sunyang’s son-in-law is a weakness, but please make me realize that I am nothing without Sunyang.”

My aunt blinked, thought, and let out a low exclamation.

“ah! I see “Divorce documents become a hilt that can be used by both sides.”

This lady has quite a bit of a head. She says one and she notices two.

“yes. “With that one document, you can take control of department stores, hotels, condos, golf courses, and even the mayor of Seoul.”

My aunt looked at me with sparkling eyes and said.

“How can you be so smart? “This is why your father cares so much about you.”

I smiled bitterly at my aunt’s praise.

“Having a good head doesn’t help much.”

“What does that mean? “You’re saying it doesn’t help?”

“Has anyone with an unusual head ever become king? He just becomes the king’s right hand man. There was Zhang Liang next to the Great Han, Gong Ming next to Emperor Shu, and Jeong Do-jeon to Li Seong-gye. “In the end, I just end up being someone’s right hand man.”

My aunt is quick enough to understand the hidden meaning of my words.
