Son of a Conglomerate at the Highest Level

＜ Buying my own house (1) ＞

We came out of Myeongdong Jangsu Bank.

The lottery ticket was exchanged for cash.

Seeing the amount on the bankbook, the mother’s hands trembled.

“Wow, that’s ten million won.”

From the deposit that was returned to the landlord’s grandmother to the deposit that her mother had accumulated over the years.

The total amount of all of that is about 10 million won.

It was money to buy an apartment.

‘Look at this, mother. Your father’s watch is much more expensive, isn’t it? It’s nothing like having 10 million won.’

I stroked my bulging pocket.

My father’s watch, which I had secretly brought, is here.

‘I heard that apartment prices are going up to the ceiling these days. Can I buy an apartment with only 10 million won?’

To be honest, I brought it with the intention of selling it.

If you leave it at an inn, it’s perfect for being robbed.

I glanced around at the pawnshops lined up on the streets of Myeongdong.

‘There must be Master’s pawnshop in the back corner of the alley here. Why don’t you visit me?’

The biggest hand among the big hands known in the underground financial world.

Also known as Myeongdong Peregrine Falcon.

He was my master.

‘If it were that man, he would have swept all the apartments in Gangnam by now.’

Why was Master called the Myeongdong Peregrine Falcon?

That’s because it has hawk eyes.

It was Master’s specialty to pick out and sweep away only the best things.

It took me 10 years to learn that sharp eye.

Bokdeokbang Street was full of abdominal people.

A rich man is a rich housewife who makes a big profit by speculating in real estate.

The representative new words that were created when Gangnam was popular were Abdominal Man and Premium.

Abdominal people could usually be called wives of high-ranking officials, but they swept the Gangnam real estate market based on the high-quality information secretly given to them by their husbands.

So these days, Gangnam could be said to be the hottest real estate arena in the country.

“Hohoho, I heard that Hyunmu apartments in Apgujeong-dong have gone up so much these days? The premium is already 800. The commercial district is being designated as an expansion.”

“Still, I plan to buy an apartment in Chunma in Daechi-dong. Thanks to Hankuk University, which moved from Yeongeon, tweezers are flocking to Daechi-dong.”

“Banpo-dong is better. My husband said he’s going to dig another road that way next year.”

Every time the abdominal people opened their mouths, high-quality information that was difficult for ordinary people to access poured like a flood.

‘No, how far is it from there to here? Why can I hear so well the whispers among the aunties?’

The Grim Reaper rose from the ground like smoke, raised his thumb, and then went back down again.

I tugged at my mother’s sleeve.

“Mom, let’s go to the Bokdeokbang.”

“huh? There are too many abdominal people over there.”

“It also means that we have a lot of delicious items for sale.”

It was a time when people snooped around Bokdeokbang from time to time because of rumors that real estate could make money.

You have to monopolize a good property to make a good income.

I didn’t want to lose customers, so I didn’t share the property in this neighborhood.

It was worth a visit because it was a bokdeokbang where a lot of people with abdominal disorders were attracted.

“We will have to wait quite a bit for our turn. Is that okay?”

“does not matter.”

They say you can choose a good property, but it’s about waiting.

All that remains is time.

“It’s because they want to see what kind of things the abdominal people find. I mean, I am very curious.”

“Is that so?”

I held my mother’s hand and entered the Bokdeokbang, which was particularly crowded.

A large map of Seoul hung on one wall of the Bokdeok Room.

Bokdeokbang man shouted loudly.

“Youngdong is very good these days! Do you know what to say? It’s scary to wake up and the price of land goes up!”

Mr. Bokdeokbang circled the map with a red pen.

I also added three asterisks.

“If you just buy it, it will double, no, three or four times at least a year!”

Abdominals rummaged through the objects that had been laid in front of the table.

It was to buy the real estate I liked.

‘Hey, this is the goldmine.’

From thin gold-rimmed ones to shimmering gold all over.

Papers of various real estate objects glittered in gold.

‘It sure seems like there are a lot of good things here.’

An abdominal man lifted up a gold-rimmed real estate document.

“How much is this apartment?”

“Fourteen million won.”

“Oh my, it was nine million won just two months ago, right?”

“Are there any apartments that don’t have a premium these days? I can’t sell it because I don’t have it. It’s a small average, so it went up less.”

The premium was increasing day by day.

“The price is fine. I’ll live. I keep climbing these days, so I think I’ll regret it if I miss it now.”

“I am with this. Two thousand three hundred on the royal floor. Right?”

Mom looked at me with a puzzled expression.

We have prepared only 10 million won.

Apgujeong Hyeonmu Apartment, Daechi-dong Cheonma Apartment, and Banpo-dong Geumjo Apartment.

It seemed like we would have to have at least 20 million won to buy the apartment we were aiming for.

“Jung Hyuk, what are you doing?”

My mother leaned over and whispered in my ear.

“I don’t have a choice if I have 10 million won? You might not be able to buy our apartment.”

The price of apartments in Gangnam was crazy.

‘You can’t buy an apartment with 10 million won, the first prize in the housing lottery? ······hmm?’

Among the bridesmaid listings for assortment rather than recommended listings, there was a document with a particularly brilliant golden light.

‘Here, only one of them shines like an incandescent light bulb.’

I wondered what kind of stuff it was.

* * *

“You waited a long time. What are you looking for? Jeonse, monthly rent, sale?”

Finally our turn came.

“I want to buy a house.”

Mr. Bokdeokbang scanned us from head to toe with sharp eyes.

“How about this?”

The man from Bokdeokbang recommended a shack in Guro-dong.

It’s a place where forced demolition is scheduled, but is this guy kidding?

“I am looking for a small apartment. About 24 pyong.”

“Apartments are so expensive these days. From the looks of it, it doesn’t look like you’ll have enough money to spare.”

The bokdeokbang man laid out the papers on the table.

This shack, that shack, all shack.

I didn’t even ask how much my mother’s budget was, and all I did was put up a shack.

“Depending on the area, depending on the road, depending on the size, the house price is all different. Not all shacks are the same.”

Oh my gosh, this man is for real!

widely!

I put my father’s watch on the table.

“Here, the recommendation for sale is zero. Are these the only things you offer?”

Looking at his father’s watch, Mr. Bokdeokbang opened his eyes wide.

It is a high-end luxury watch that looks very expensive at first glance.

Mr. Bokdeokbang looked at his father’s clock on the table and at us.

“It’s done. show me that The one you just put under the table.”

“this?”

The item I want is stuck among the documents that Mr. Bokdeokbang picked up in a bundle.

“Yes, that.”

Let’s take a look at some of the assortment items that sparkle like incandescent bulbs.

I reached out.

But Mr. Bokdeokbang raised his hand.

It was said that he had no intention of showing things.

“How much is your total budget? This is because it is a property that is only shown to the wives of the upper class among the wealthy.”

I guess so.

Even if it is a bridesmaid offering for assortment, people in the stomach will be offended if you introduce too shabby items.

“Would you understand if everything here were just luxury houses in Hannam-dong, Seongbuk-dong, and Pyeongchang-dong?”

Now is the perfect time to intimidate.

I’m sorry about this.

with my daughter

Just then, the door to the bokdeokbang opened and a tall, middle-aged man entered.

He had neatly combed all-back hair and was wearing a suit with not a single collar undisturbed.

The silver-rimmed glasses that hid the bitter eyes were a man who looked good on him.

He spotted us and strode this way.

“I will see you after a long time.”

He nodded to his mother.

The mother could not hide her puzzled expression.

“Isn’t there still quite a bit of time left for your appointment? Besides, the meeting place is not here…”

“This is the President’s order. I have no intention of interfering with you, so go ahead and do your business. I will tell you later.”

It was a cold but very polite tone.

His body is as straight as a ruler, and his momentum is as sharp as a blade.

‘Who was it?’

Unbeknownst to me, my eyes narrowed.

“Who is your uncle?”

“My name is Kim Young-gul, the chief of staff who serves the chairman of Taesung Group.”

Bokdeokbang man inhaled his breath.

“Tae, Taesung Group!”

Either that or not.

It wasn’t until I heard the name Kim Young-gul that I realized who the man in front of me was.

‘You were one of the closest aides who secretly assisted Chairman Cha. He said he took care of even the dirty work.’

Secretary Kim picked up the watch lying on the table in silence.

After examining it meticulously, he politely returned it to his mother.

“I’m sure it belonged to Master Seongjun. Did you say Cha Jeong-hyeok?”

“How did you know our Jeong-hyuk’s name?”

Secretary Kim did not answer her mother’s question.

Instead, he carefully examined me from head to toe.

The eyes are quite terrifying.

But I didn’t avoid those eyes.

There is no reason to avoid it, and there is no intention to avoid it.

‘The bastard who avoids first is a coward. Be careful that I don’t avoid a fight that comes.’

For a moment, the eyes that met each other flashed.

Secretary Kim got down on one knee and brought me to eye level.

“Boss Seongjun, you look exactly the same as when you were young. You look exactly like your father.”

Secretary Kim took out a business card from her bosom and held it out to me.

“Brother Jeonghyeok, please contact me here from now on.”

It was the phone number for the secretary office of the chairman of the Taesung Group, directly connected to Secretary Kim.

But my mother blocked it with her palm.

“That’s Okay. What is the point of a seven-year-old child writing a business card?”

“It is difficult to predict the future. Wouldn’t it be better not to use it than to regret not having it?”

“I will never see you again.”

“well. There are times in life when you feel sorry for the Joker. For example, taking care of obnoxious and irritating garbage.”

Secretary Kim looked at Mr. Bokdeokbang coolly.

“Do you use it only when the young master’s precious hands are smeared with filth?”

The complexion of Mr. Bokdeokbang changed dramatically.

Right away, he politely put his hands together and smiled servilely.

“Are you going to be that thing? If there is a property you want, just tell us the terms! I will search all over the country to find it and give it to you!”

I am not interested in anything else.

All I’m curious about is this

Among the real estate items held by Mr.

There was a reason why only that document flashed like a light bulb.

“The best detached house in Hannam-dong with a land of 700 pyeong and a building of 114 pyeong, plus a swimming pool!”

How did you get such a luxury home for such a low price?

This was a rare windfall.
