Son of a Conglomerate at the Highest Level

chapter 38



< Receive invitation (1) >

In the morning, people began to flock to the Hannam-dong mansion.

The Taesung Group elites each brought a thick bundle of documents.

Thanks to this, my grandmother said she was preparing rice, and my mother said she had to go shopping.

Even then, there was a shortage of workers, so Secretary Kim even attached a few more helpers.

Our house was running hectic.

In the meantime, I got into the car with Mr. Cheol-gu and Jong-tae Yoo.

Yoo Jong-tae was in the driver’s seat, Mr. Cheol-gu was in the passenger’s seat, and I was in the back seat.

“Bocchan, where should I take you?”

“Hyeonmoo Construction.”

My purpose was clear.

Receiving an invitation from the president of Hyunmoo Construction.

Sending invitations to the giants of the underground banking world.

It was enough to prepare for the year-end night event.

* * *

The car has arrived at its destination.

Cheol-gu smoked a cigarette in the parking lot, and Yoo Jong-tae returned with a black plastic bag.

“young master?”

“Wait. All you have to do is write this down.”

I knelt down in the back seat of the car and wrote down on a piece of white paper with a Montblanc fountain pen.

Swish.

Yoo Jong-tae, sitting in the driver’s seat, stuck his head out.

“What are you writing so clearly and painstakingly about?”

“This is a note for the president of Hyunmoo Construction.”

“As expected, our son-in-law! Are you sending a note to boss Oh?”

“Isn’t that a regards note?”

“yes? Then what is that?”

“…a business proposal?”

Yes, it’s okay if it’s not a threatening note.

“A business proposal?”

“A business proposal?”

Yu Jong-tae and Cheol-gu looked back at me with curious expressions.

Either that or not.

I was busy playing with my fountain pen.

“It’s all done!”

I blew on the paper to make sure the ink dried well.

After confirming that it was dry, I folded it finely and wrote a number on the outside.

“Boss, why do you bother writing numbers on the outside of the note?”

“I want you to do your errands comfortably. You can hand the notes to the president of Hyunmoo Construction in the order of the numbers written here.”

“Aha, I see.”

Yoo Jong-tae meekly accepted the note.

But he still had an expression that he would die of curiosity.

“May I ask what this is?”

“Sure. Will I just live my faith or solve my curiosity? The choice is up to Team Leader Yoo.”

The reason I brought Yoo Jong-tae this time was also to check if he was worthy of being my limb.

Yoo Jong-tae saluted and smiled.

“With my eyes, I’m going to choose trust over curiosity.”

I even handed the paper envelope to Yoo Jong-tae with a grin.

“There are only three notes. If you don’t check the contents of the note in advance, you’ll have to take care of everything else, wouldn’t it be difficult?”

“I’ll do my best not to notice anything! Do you really want to die for being ignorant?”

“It doesn’t matter if you act ignorant and get kicked out, but it’s difficult not to get an invitation.”

“Keuheum, I’ll do my best to get it! I, Jong-tae Yoo, is a guy with that kind of head! Trust me and leave it to me!”

I like a talented guy!

Yoo Jong-tae confirmed that there were no numbers written on the document envelope and asked subtly.

“This doesn’t have a number, can I check it?”

“Sure. Instead, as much as I check in advance, do I have to get the signature and seal of President Oh of Hyunmoo Construction?”

“I will risk my life to make it happen!”

In fact, Taesung Group bodyguard Yoo Jong-tae had to run errands for a different reason.

‘To make a mess at this year-end night, I need a reliable ally, the hotel owner.’

one more.

It is also an opportunity to gain favor with the president of Hyunmoo Construction under the name of Taeseong.

“Have a good trip.”

I smiled and waved.

“Wait a minute, Bocchan.”

Yoo Jong-tae took something out of the black plastic bag.

“I bought it because I thought they would send me inside and wait in the cold.”

It was steaming buns and warm bottled soy milk.

Ha, of course, buns and warm soy milk in winter!

Yoo Jong-tae winked at Mr. Cheol-gu with one eye.

“Then, until I come back, please take good care of our young master. Lieutenant Colonel Pak, no, Park Cheol-gu.”

“her······.”

“Park Cheol-gu, this is what I’m betting on!”

What Jong-tae Yoo secretly handed out was a biscuit.

“…”

“If you look for star candy, it will be there. Then, let’s go!”

Yoo Jong-tae strode into the Hyunmoo Construction office.

Right.

‘Hey, guardian deity!’

[Share your view!]

good!

* * *

For some reason, the president’s office of Hyunmoo Construction was full of executives who had been summoned since morning.

Hyunmoo Construction CEO Oh said.

“Last night, I had a drink with the chief of staff at the Blue House, and I heard from above that the apartment redevelopment was being closely watched.”

“Oh, it must mean a good thing to be interested in apartment redevelopment, right?”

“Hasn’t there been a big development boom in Gangnam these days? It is exactly what the government was aiming for.”

Executives at Hyunmoo Construction were delighted.

“This is also in line with organizing the urban aesthetics before the Asian Games.”

“In addition, it is also to expand the shelters for the common people that the government wants.”

The president of Hyunmoo Construction shook his head.

“It is the opposite. It means bad.”

“yes?”

“For the time being, there has been an order not to forcefully demolish it by mobilizing a service.”

“yes? So suddenly?”

Executives at Hyunmoo Construction couldn’t hide their bewildered expressions.

“If you don’t mobilize a service, how will you proceed with the redevelopment project?”

“You have to push the shantytown to raise the apartment?”

“Until now, it was the government that encouraged development. Why did you suddenly receive such an order?”

The president of Hyunmoo Construction wrinkled his brow.

“It looks like Wookwang Construction set fire to the Guro-dong shantytown when it was demolished this time. I hear that there has been quite a bit of loss of life and property.”

“yes? Did that happen?”

“There wasn’t a word about him in the newspaper or on the station news?”

“People don’t know how the Guro-dong shantytown was demolished anyway. Just force us too.”

The president of Hyunmoo Construction clicked his tongue.

“Your Excellency is very displeased with that.”

“yes? why?”

“You know that Woo-gwang blocked even the press.”

Hyunmoo Construction President Oh’s complexion darkened.

“They burst into anger, asking if a single company dared to cover their eyes and ears.”

“Mmm.”

“Since he received something from Woo-gwang, he seems to be putting up with it this time, but it seems that he is determined with this incident as an opportunity. This is the tip of the chief of staff at the Blue House.”

The complexion of Hyunmoo Construction executives also changed.

“If you’re watching closely from above, I don’t think you should touch it hastily.”

“In this situation, if even our Hyeonmu are forcibly demolished and they get hurt, the anger of the Blue House will be directed this way.”

“Originally, I said that I shouldn’t even go near a burning house.”

The president of Hyunmoo Construction looked back with cold eyes.

“So it was very difficult. In a market where apartment sales in Gangnam are so booming these days, we have to suck our fingers.”

There was only one reason why Hyunmoo Construction sucked its fingers.

“There is no land, so how can you build an apartment?”

It was.

The problem with Hyunmoo Construction was that it was unable to secure a suitable apartment site.

‘also. I knew it!’

Yesterday, when I heard from Secretary Kim that the year-end night event would be held at the Hyunmu Hotel.

It was the reason I called for joy, saying that I was lucky.

‘I knew it from reading the Hyunmu Group report. At that time, Hyunmoo Construction was at a loss because it couldn’t prepare a site for an apartment, and then hit the ground saying that it missed a good opportunity.’

Because of the bitter taste at this time, Hyunmoo Construction started to collect land from all over the country whenever possible.

Certainly, President Oh of Hyunmoo Construction seemed very dissatisfied with the current situation.

“I’ve been told several times to secure an apartment site, but among the executives here, how come no one has found a suitable apartment site?”

Executives at Hyunmoo Construction began to notice.

“When we were building the Apgujeong Hyeonmu apartment complex this time, we sold all the apartment sites we owned because of lack of funds.”

“At that time, not only shareholders, but also banks and private moneylenders all recovered their investment in advance, saying that the sale of large-scale apartments would be ruined…”

The construction of large apartment complexes was an unprecedentedly large amount of money.

Moreover, until then, development in Gangnam did not enjoy such a boom.

It was also a time when the perception of a house as a shack or detached house was strongly embedded.

Calling the apartment a chicken coop, the prevailing opinion was that who would pay for such a thing, and of course it would go bankrupt.

“But we persevered and pushed forward, and as a result, the sale of the Apgujeong Hyeonmu apartment boomed and became an unprecedented hit.”

In a word, it could be said that he made a lot of money.

Hyunmoo Construction has earned the name of Korea’s leading premium apartment builder thanks to the Apgujeong Hyunmoo Apartment brand.

“We have a lot of money right now. by the way. Why haven’t we been able to secure a suitable apartment site yet?”

The heads of the executives of Hyunmoo Construction went down more and more.

“It took a lot of time for us, like Woo-gwang, to go around the areas scheduled for redevelopment and reach an agreement.”

“The resistance of the people of the shantytown was not easy. Because they are also at risk of their livelihood…”

“So we have no choice but to call the servicemen and forcefully demolish it, but since this order came from above…”

The eyes of the president of Hyunmoo Construction narrowed.

“After all, it sounds like you are incompetent. If the shantytown is going to be delayed, shouldn’t you have bought an orchard or a rice field?”

“Most of them are bounded by the Green Belt.”

“The officials of the Ministry of Construction do not give permission for development.”

“Even if you buy it, you can’t upload an apartment unless you get a development permit.”

Hyunmu Construction CEO Oh tapped my chest with his hand.

“It is the job of the president to solve such problems. Do you think Hyun-moo can’t do the lobby that Woo-gwang does? Do I look so incompetent?”

“That’s not what I meant…”

“There must be something prepared for sure, so I won’t bribe you and give you alcohol. what do you think about it?”

“······sorry.”

“Do you think I’ve been calling you all since morning to hear that I’m sorry?”

The president of Hyunmoo Construction nervously shook his head.

“I heard something strange yesterday. It is said that the Blue House Secretariat and the Construction Department are slowly talking about it. It is said that the development of Gangnam has surpassed success and become a venue for real estate speculation.”

“That, that’s…”

“Anyway, the government seems to be implementing real estate regulations sooner or later.”

for a moment. What about real estate regulation?

‘Ah, the 8.8 real estate regulatory action! Because of this, the Cheonma Group was almost ruined by the bombing of unsold apartments in Cheonma.’

For construction companies, real estate regulations are literally catastrophic.

“If the government’s real estate regulation starts soon, then we can’t sell even if we want to sell. Banks will lock up money, the government will unleash the sword of tax investigations, and the market will be frozen cold.”

The government’s purpose is to put the brakes on so that the real estate market does not overheat.

In other words, the real estate market is hot right now.

Money is always the way to make it when it’s like this.

“These days, Apgujeong Hyeonmu Apartments are selling like hot cakes. At a time like this, we have to make a series of hits to embed the name of Hyunmoo Construction into the minds of the public.”

Hyunmoo Construction President Oh grinded his teeth.

“There is only now to build and sell an apartment, so how can you raise an apartment without land? uh? What do you think of this? If you have a mouth, can you answer me?”

Executives at Hyunmoo Construction had no choice but to break into a cold sweat.

The soundless scream that I couldn’t bear to let out of my throat would be echoing in my chest.

Just by looking at his expression, it was clear how he was feeling.

– There’s no way that the land that doesn’t exist will fall from the sky by beating us up like this!

-Apgujeong Hyeonmu apartment sales have now become a big hit. How long has it been since the money came in!

-That’s why when I insisted on not selling the apartment lot, he didn’t even pretend to listen!

The executives of Hyunmoo Construction are either dumb or groaning.

“In the end, what the hell did you guys do all this time? The apartment site, what are you going to do?”

All the executives bowed their heads and said, ‘I’m dead!’ I had no choice but to do it.

It’s probably because I don’t have the confidence to come up with an apartment site right now.

It was then.

smart smart

“what!”

“President, a bodyguard from Taesung Group came to visit us.”

“Taesung Group bodyguard?”

The air in the boss’s office was freezing cold.

“Why are Taesung Group looking for me? without prior appointment. Do I have to deal with someone else’s company’s bodyguard in this yard right now? Send it back right now!”

“that is······.”

The secretary who carefully opened the door and entered carefully handed over the note while looking at the boss.

<Do you need an apartment site?>

It was my note with the number 1 written on the outside.

“Tell them to come in right now!”

“…”

The executives looked at the president with an absurd expression.
