[262]Together, albeit briefly 3
“You went to Gunsan?”
“yes. “I came to say hello to my grandfather.”
“Just a hello?”
“I had something to report to you. what… “It’s not a good thing.”
Chairman Hakjae Lee, who was sitting in the chairman’s chair checking approval documents, got up and sat across from me.
“say.”
“yes?”
“Tell me what that bad thing is. “Aren’t you here to check on that?”
“Do you really have to have work to come? “I just came to say hello.”
“Unless the majority shareholder has come to monitor the salaried chairman, you are not the type of person to leisurely go around saying hello. say.”
He is a very comfortable person with no frills.
“You know that we did a good job blocking the Sunyang Financial Group board of directors, right?”
“Should I at least praise him for doing a good job? “If you want to listen, do it.”
“Why are you not letting me say anything?”
When I made a mockery of myself, Chairman Lee Hak-jae smiled.
“Good job. Okay? Now tell me. What?”
Speaking of words that are difficult to say, I say more unnecessary things. I don’t know what this person might think, but he opened his mouth with difficulty.
“It’s a grandmother problem.”
“Ma’am?”
“yes. “I keep getting angry at my uncles to get me kicked out of Sunyang Group.”
“The two vice presidents are not good sons who listen to their mother. “Are you going to do something like that again just because you’re angry?”
Although he says it as if it is no big deal, Vice Chairman Lee Hak-jae’s expression is dark. This person must know something about her grandmother, too.
“From what I found out, my grandmother has a weapon that can move my uncles. “We don’t know if she brandished that weapon or if she hasn’t revealed it yet.”
“weapon?”
“yes.”
“What is that weapon?”
“It’s money.”
Hakjae Lee wasn’t that surprised. Did he already know?
“It’s money… . She is the hostess of Sunyang Group, so of course she has a lot of money. However, it is not good enough to be used as a weapon. “The two sons, who control major affiliates, are not swayed by their mother’s wealth.”
“It may be beyond your imagination. No, I’m sure.”
Now he seems a little surprised. You didn’t know anything.
“How much money is it if you say it is more than you can imagine?”
“If I knew exactly, I would have told you the amount.”
“So it’s just an uncertain guess?”
“That’s why I’m checking. “How long has her grandmother been in charge of the Sunyang Art Foundation?”
“Let’s see… . It’s been over 20 years since the new military government came into power and forced it to start with cultural policies and other things. “Why is that?”
“What about the money that has been flowing into the foundation for over twenty years?”
Chairman Hakjae Lee smiled and waved his hand.
“What else can I say? Are you saying this because you don’t know? Of course, the money that went into the foundation is enormous. Because donations were made for tax evasion purposes. However, arts foundations cannot engage in profit-making activities. Well, I may have played around with some tricks, but it would be minor, right? “Money won’t grow if you don’t roll it.”
“No. In fact, I made a huge investment. We swept up not only domestic art and antiques but also world-class art. “How dare her grandmother receive VIP treatment at Sotheby’s in London and Christie’s in New York?”
“A work of art has no value in itself. “You have to sell it and turn it into money to make it a weapon.”
“That’s it.”
“What is that… .”
As if he had finally realized something, Chairman Lee Hak-jae opened his mouth and couldn’t speak for a while.
“Are you sure?”
The first word that came out again after a long time was reaffirmation.
“There is no evidence, but there is testimony. Of course, you can’t use it in court.”
“Details!”
Chairman Lee Hak-jae’s stern face even gave the illusion that he had returned to being his grandfather’s chief secretary.
“The paintings on display at Sunyang Gallery and the antiques at Sunyang Art Museum are displayed interchangeably three or four times a year. Of course, something of great value is never disclosed to the public.”
“Most works of art are in the foundation’s storage.”
“I even checked the Sunyang Arts Foundation’s list. This is a piece of art collected over 20 years. “The price is often tens of times higher, but there are also many works whose prices are hundreds or even thousands of times higher.”
“If you checked the list, that means you haven’t cashed it out yet, right?”
“I just checked the list. “I didn’t see anything in kind.”
“No? “You sold everything?”
“Maybe.”
“what?”
It is very rare to see Chairman Lee Hak-jae surprised.
“Most of the works currently in storage are likely forgeries. Since masterpieces are not released anyway, there may not be any at all. Among the list, Francis Maier’s Freud Portrait Trilogy would be the most expensive, and was purchased for a whopping 90 billion won. Have you seen it?”
“I am an art illiterate.”
“me too. But now this work is worth 150 billion won.”
“So they either didn’t exist at all or changed it to something fake? “Selling off all the genuine items?”
“Almost certainly. These words come from the mouths of a smuggler involved in smuggling genuine products overseas and a counterfeit expert called the Insa-dong Wizard. “I created a forgery myself, but later an article appeared saying that the Sunyang Art Foundation had purchased the real work.”
Chairman Lee Hak-jae was already turning blue.
“In severe cases, there are cases where genuine products are purchased overseas and brought back with fake products. “The genuine product is disposed of immediately on site.”
“I wonder if the reason you stayed in Switzerland for so long… ?”
“yes. “He must have done many things there.”

“Did Woo Byung-jun investigate?”
“yes.”
“It must be him.”
Chairman Lee Hak-jae leaned against the back of the sofa, sighed deeply, and closed his mouth again.
“We are trying to figure out what they did with the money they raised. However, if it is buried in a borrowed-name account or in Myeong-dong, it will be difficult to find out.”
He straightened up again and spoke decisively.
“It’s a borrowed-name stock.”
“stock?”
“okay. Ms. Lee must have raised her stock. “No matter how much money you spend, it’s all taken care of by the affiliate, so you don’t need the money.”
“Then I guess I can’t just leave it like this.”
“What are you going to do?”
“I told my grandfather in advance. Her grandmother said she would spend her golden years in Switzerland. Of course she’ll have to make her grandmother broke before that happens. “She might become a source of trouble later.”
Hakjae Lee gave him a cold look.
“Mrs. Lee is your biological grandmother. And no matter what anyone says, she is the Chairman’s wife. Do not do anything that goes against the law of heaven. “She will be punished.”
A villain deserves to be punished and die someday. But I received heavenly punishment in advance.
He died with a bullet lodged in his head. No matter who sees it, it is heavenly punishment.
Since he is a villain who has received heavenly punishment in advance, there is no reason to fear heavenly punishment.
“He said he would allow him to spend his final years comfortably in a scenic Swiss villa. “At this level, he is a better son than his own son.”

When the chartered plane arrived at Kota Kinabalu Airport, the CEOs of financial affiliates looked very excited.
To revamp the company atmosphere, everyone was given three days of vacation. We put everyone on a chartered plane so they could enjoy golf to their heart’s content and relax at the resort.
“Can we play golf just by ourselves?”
Vice President Jang Do-hyeong spoke as if he was embarrassed, but his mouth was wide as if it were about to burst.
“I don’t really want to get involved in the old guys’ play. haha.”
I drove them to the resort and met Oh Se-hyeon.
“Joint voting rights with Vice Chairman Jin Dong-gi?”
“yes. “It will be quiet for a while.”
“What about money?”
“Uncle, please find it and wash it clean. “Leave no trace.”
“I write it?”
“You said so.”
“It’s no joke. The resort is said to be in deficit. “It’s better than taking out a loan to make up for it.”
“Please. And it will be better if direct flights are opened.”
“Do your best to open the skyway quickly. A lot of money was given here and there. “Use some this time.”
It was funny to see Oh Se-hyun’s serious expression.
The inevitable nature of business is revealed. Aren’t you the kind of person who has no reason to worry about deficits? All you need to do is relax and take proper care of yourself, but you can’t stand the red numbers in your accounting ledger.
“All right. I’ll try my best. Anyway, let’s quickly sort out Labuan’s money first.”
“But why did you drag everyone around? “Don’t you have to come quietly to organize the slush fund?”
“I have insurance.”
“insurance?”
“yes. What if, really what if. “If I get into trouble because of the Labuan slush fund, there has to be a way out.”
“Have you seen this bad guy?”
Oh Se-hyeon stuck out his tongue.
“Did you bring one of them here to make him the owner of the slush fund?”
“They are not creating it, but they are claiming to be the owner of the slush fund and coming forward. “It’s an alibi for that time.”
“Now you are the chairman of a conglomerate.”
He let out a crying sound towards Oh Se-hyun, who was shaking his head.
“How is it? Aren’t there more than one person who can’t get enough of me? “I also need to have someone wearing a bulletproof vest.”
He seems a little angry, but also sympathetic. No, I think it would be right to look at it pitifully.
“Anyway, let’s find the money quickly and go to America with me.”
“USA? why? Do you have business at New York Miracle?”
“yes.”
The pitiful look in his eyes disappeared in an instant and changed back to that of an investor.
“Did you get the hang of it? Or any good information? Where should we invest this time?”
“Like a wealthy person, I also want to develop a dignified hobby called art collecting. This time, I plan to take over at least a small gallery in New York.”
“what? art?”
Oh Se-hyun couldn’t hold back the laughter that burst out.
Only after laughing for a long time, even shedding tears, was I able to speak.
“Collecting art using financial resources is not something everyone does. You have to have a real eye. “I have seen many rich people who were fooled by galleries and lost their money by buying worthless paintings.”
“I will only buy works of art that are already famous. I already made a list. “If you give me more money, I will sell it.”
“Stop saying you don’t know anything. People who own famous paintings rarely sell them. Those guys are money rotters. “I bought a painting with the extra money, but if I told you I’d pay more, I’d just laugh at you, right?”
“My collection has different owners. I’m a person desperate for cash. “He is someone who prefers Sunyang Group stocks instead of paintings.”
When I heard that it was Sunyang’s stock, all my laughter disappeared.
“what? “Who on earth are you talking about?”
“This is my grandmother.”
I smiled bitterly.
* * *
“Oh my, why is every corner of his house like that? “Only people who are crazy about stocks gathered here.”
“That’s right. Even if you get criticized, it’s worth it. “I am one of them.”
“Ugh. That’s great, man.”
When Oh Se-hyeon heard the whole story about her grandmother, she just sighed, as if she was overcome with despair.
“so? “Does Yoongi know this?”
“no. I didn’t tell you. “I can’t let my father build up any more bad feelings with my grandmother.”
“Even the slightest mistake in this matter can be fatal. It’s about exposing the faults of the best adult in the family… . “If three letters of your grandmother’s name are leaked, not only will it bring shame to the family, but Sunyang’s name will also be damaged.”
“The name Sunyang has already become so dirty that everyone points their fingers at it. “I’m not afraid of putting a little more dust on a sign that’s fallen into muddy water.”
“I get it. Then, let’s dispose of the Labuan slush fund and go straight to the United States. “I need to see the faces of those kids for the first time in a while.”
Se-Hyeon Oh dialed her phone here and there and looked at her computer monitor for the first time in a long time.
Labuan’s money will travel around the world and come into my pocket, retaining the name of a slush fund, only in different banks and locations.
