[220]Front wave 4
Oh Se-hyeon seemed disappointed in Director Lee Hak-jae, who left with only regretful words, but not me.
“This answer is enough for now.”
“You seem satisfied?”
“yes. Today, I see that Director Hakjae Lee is similar to me.”
“Director Lee with you? why?”
Oh Se-hyeon asked.
“You don’t show your greed easily, do you? They said they would give me the position of Chairman of Sunyang Group. Even if you don’t have pure power, you can still rule. “I didn’t say anything to be promised that position.”
“That doesn’t change the fact that he is a salaried chairman.”
“no. I already know that I am the owner of HW Group. Likewise, I know that I have little involvement in the management of HW Group. It is true that he is a salaried worker, but he can wield full power. It is not wrong to say that it dominates.”
“But it’s still not enough. For salaried workers, their heads fly by depending on their performance… .”
“There is one more thing. I know that I have never said anything to the presidents of HW affiliates about profit or sales. “Don’t you know that you won’t be kicked out because of your performance?”
“That’s right. You’re not as keen on making money as the two vice presidents… . On the contrary, whenever the company is in trouble, they provide emergency blood transfusions with your own money. “Honestly, I’m eating it raw, so why didn’t I ask for it?”
“I don’t believe in verbal promises. Director Lee Hak-jae’s promise to protect the shareholding structure and my offer to give him the position of chairman of Sunyang are just words for now.”
“Let’s only do accurate transactions?”
“It seems so. This transaction comes into effect when the uncles attempt to adjust their shares. Stop them and give them space.”
Oh Se-hyeon was silent for a long time.
When he opened his mouth, something unexpected came out.
“Then let’s make a deal with me now.”
“yes? What is that… ?”
“My severance pay. I have been the CEO for quite some time. “It must be a considerable amount of money, right?”
Since the severance pay is enormous, I am not saying that it should be negotiated within a reasonable range. He is conveying his intention to retire soon.
It seems that once it became clear that I would keep my stake, I decided that I was in position.
This time I couldn’t open my mouth. It was something I had to face one day and I always had it in mind, but it wasn’t easy to accept it.
After a long time, I opened my mouth.
“From now on, we will settle the severance pay in a timely manner. “Tell me again in a few years.”
“A quick-witted guy says something else… . I’ve done enough. “My original dream was to retire at age 50 and enjoy the rest of my life at a resort in Southeast Asia, playing golf and eating delicious food.”
“Haven’t you decided to do it for ten more years?”
“I never said that.”
A smile spread across Oh Se-hyun’s face.
“If I had done it for six more years, I would have done it long enough. Instead, I made a huge amount of money, so I don’t feel unfair. “Hehe.”
right.
I earned enough and was considerate of me enough.
“And I think the second dream came true on its own.”
“Are you talking about Kota Kinabalu?”
“okay. It opened last year. “Give me a bungalow there.”
There is no better place to live in a resort area, play golf and eat delicious food. It seemed like I had been waiting for the right time to bring this up since last year. If it weren’t for the credit card incident, I would have said this when the Kota Kinabalu resort was completed.
“It will be a detached villa, not a bungalow. Didn’t your uncle crumple up a few luxury villas when designing it? “Isn’t that what you’re talking about?”
“Oh, Marvel House?”
“yes.”
“As expected, you’re quick-witted, hehe.”
Marble House was built in the 18th century as a summer residence for America’s wealthiest man, William K. Vanderbilt.
Vanderbilt controlled the shipping and railroads of the American continent at the time, amassing a wealth that amounted to nearly half of the U.S. Treasury.
Marble House, completed in 1892, was decorated in Baroque and Rococo styles to resemble the Palace of Versailles in France. It is called Marble House because it has a white marble exterior and an interior made of yellow and pink marble.
Oh Se-hyeon suggested preparing a dozen luxurious villas for the richest customers, and I agreed.
I didn’t necessarily think of it as a house for rich people.
I thought it was a place for people who loved me and generously supported and helped me.
“Are you really going to give me one of those?”
“It’s my uncle’s place to stay. Would it be a bungalow? “It should be at least a villa.”
“Is that severance pay? Or are you taking drugs?”
“You mean medicine?”
“I’ll give you that villa, so work for a few more years, you know?”
Oh Se-hyun said it as a joke, but I wanted to do it if possible.
But I plan to lose a lot on this deal.
“I have no intention of trading my uncle’s dream as bait.”
“I feel at ease because you are not stubborn.”
I felt like I wanted to throw a tantrum, but what could I do?
The people around me don’t exist for me. I just intervened for a moment while each person was writing their life.
If they want me out of their lives, of course I have to get out.
“When will I process my resignation?”
“I will be spending Christmas this winter at Marble House in Kota Kinabalu. “Let’s quickly organize what needs to be organized before then.”
“All right. By the way, are you planning on moving at all?”
“It’s not that much, you have to go back and forth. “I can’t miss the fun of coming here sometimes and watching you suffer, right?”
It was a joke, but there was no laughter. Oh Se-hyeon also saw my stiff expression and changed his attitude slightly and started speaking seriously.
“Chairman Song Hyeon-chang will also retire at the end of this year.”
“It would be perfect if my uncle sat there.”
“Throw away your regrets.”
Oh Se-hyeon waved his hand once and continued speaking.

“The most urgent need is to find someone to sit in the chairman’s position and someone to take charge of the cruise card. “The CEO of the credit card company needs to be fired now.”
“In fact, if Director Lee Hak-jae had asked for an advance payment, I would have given him the position of Chairman of HW Group. But even that has passed… . “This position will be vacant for the time being until we find the right person.”
“Has anyone thought of a card?”
“When I took over Daehyun Card, I tried to appoint that president. During a merger, the CEO of that company is the right person to avoid feeling like you are being absorbed. “There is also a morale problem among Daehyun Card employees.”
“Is an acquisition possible?”
“I think I looked at the cruise card and said, ‘Oh, it’s hot.’ As high-intensity self-rescue measures are being announced day after day, the government has also taken a step back. “I think we have decided to wait and see a little more.”
“Do you have enough funds for the acquisition?”
“They say 600 billion won is needed to put out an urgent fire. “I have 800 billion won from my uncle, so there is no problem.”
“okay. Anyway, prepare for your inauguration as Miracle CEO next year. “There are many people in the company who want my position, but there is no one worth entrusting it to.”
“yes.”
Hearing my weak voice, Oh Se-hyun smiled bitterly and tapped me on the back.
“Don’t be harsh. “You will continue to do well.”
“I’m sorry.”
“Then express your regret with severance pay. “Hehe.”
“Aren’t you satisfied with Marvel House?”
“what? Are you done with just one house? Let’s do a new calculation, shall we?”
Oh Se-hyun’s retirement was confirmed with this useless joke.
Even when someone who achieved their dream left, words of congratulations did not come easily.

The same fall comes every year, but this year was special.
At around 8 PM on September 12th, the last day of the Chuseok holiday, the super-strong typhoon ‘Maemi’ hit Tongyeong, Gyeongsangnam-do.
The cicadas that struck the Korean Peninsula leisurely escaped into the East Sea around 2 a.m. the next day, the 13th.
Although we only stayed in Gyeongnam and the East Sea for a little over 6 hours, the force of nature was so powerful that humans could not do anything about it.
It passed through the Korean Peninsula, leaving behind 4.78 trillion won in property damage, 10,000 victims, and 130 casualties.
As soon as the sun rose on the 13th, I received a call from Oh Se-hyeon and rushed to the HW Group headquarters. Sunyang Financial Group was also in trouble, but I chose opportunity rather than crisis.
The expressions of the affiliate CEOs and executives were not dark. No, there were some who even showed a faint smile.
The space destroyed by the typhoon must be refilled by people. In the name of construction.
“Our HW construction project has stopped work in progress and we have ordered an accurate investigation into the amount of damage and preparation of countermeasures.”
“What are the casualties?”
“Thankfully, there were no casualties among our employees. “Some employees who were working at night were injured, but they say the injuries are not life-threatening.”
Chairman Song Hyeon-chang was the first to breathe a long sigh of relief.
This is because his final days were no longer marred by an accident.
“Take care to ensure that the injured are not inconvenienced and pay enough compensation so that they do not feel uncomfortable.”
“yes. President.”
When the president of HW Construction answered, Chairman Song Hyeon-chang stood up.
“You guys take care of the rest. I don’t think there’s any need for me to tell you this or that… “Isn’t that right?”
Chairman Song looked at Oh Se-hyun and narrowed his eyes.
“Then, Chairman, please go in first. “I will organize it and report to you later.”
“After reporting, don’t do anything useless and come up with a good plan.”
Chairman Song Hyeon-chang gently placed his hand on Oh Se-hyun’s shoulder and left the conference room.
All of the affiliated executives seemed to have already accepted his retirement as a foregone conclusion, and no one was surprised, just bowed their heads and said hello.
“The amount of damage to public facilities due to this typhoon will definitely exceed trillions. It is said that the government has now started preparing an emergency budget… “I am cautious about saying this, but this is an opportunity for our construction industry.”
It won’t be just us. All construction companies in Korea are no doubt engaged in heated meetings like us at this moment to secure the trillions of dollars that will be poured in for damage recovery and reconstruction.
In a recession caused by the credit card crisis, good news as good as this is rare.
Our conference room also heated up.
All kinds of opinions were expressed about how to beat a player and occupy an advantageous position, and there were differing opinions about how far we could go with our capabilities.
Oh Se-hyeon, who was listening quietly, whispered into my ear.
“If we don’t set guidelines, today’s meeting won’t end.”
“Do I decide?”
“Then who decides?”
Oh Se-hyeon pushed me into the middle of the meeting with a gesture of his chin.
“Everyone, just a moment. “How about we change direction?”
When I slowly raised my hand and spoke, everyone’s eyes were focused on me.
No one can ignore my existence as the second-in-command of the holding company Miracle and the bloodline of Sunyang. They fell silent at the same time.
“I know this is a huge opportunity, but this is a tragedy. Rather than using tragedy as an opportunity to make money, let’s use it as an opportunity.”
“Another opportunity? Like what?”
Oh Se-hyeon helped lead my story.
“It’s about improving the group image.”
“how?”
“As this is a public construction project, we will proceed through a bidding method, so we are opting out of the competition for the lowest price and taking a different approach. For example, we will use all of our profits for the victims… .”
“Are you saying we should donate the profits as donations?”
“no. Donations are common and go unnoticed. As a construction company, we are giving it back to construction. We build apartments and distribute them to flood victims who lost their homes… Well, it’s like this.”
“Chief. These are people who have lost their homes right now. When do you mean that apartments will be raised and distributed?”
Someone raised an objection to reality.
I need to cut that bastard. If I had thought about how to approach the issue before raising it, I wouldn’t have even said something like that.
“You can buy houses for flood victims to stay in while their apartments are built and give them away. We are not responsible for all flood victims, so there is no need to buy thousands of houses. “We just need to buy a house that we can afford.”
At this time, someone else tapped the table.
“This is a great opportunity to purchase non-business real estate.”
That person is promoted.
He clearly understood the hidden meaning of my words.
