God-Given Investment Genius

27- Premiere

#27. premiere

After learning that Ji-hyeok was a shaman who had been given a divine gift, Ilsung Group finished the transaction neatly without being soggy anymore.

However, Vice Chairman Lee Jae-seong, who heard Ji-hyeok’s warning, said that it was better, and said that if he needed advice at any time, he would bring a lot of bokchae and visit him.

Meanwhile, Vice Chairman Jin Seong-cheol, who was being briefed on Ji-hyeok’s profile by President Cha Moo-seok, had a face full of heartache.

“So you mean Kang Ji-hyeok’s friend is a shaman, right?”

“Yes, Chairman. I was openly running a business called Cheongdam Station.”

“Seoyeon is different from Ji Ami and hates fortune tellers. How did the two of them get to know each other?”

Cha Mu-seok said with a bewildered expression.

“I don’t know the exact circumstances, but it seems that we got closer after participating as a contemplative consultant in the movie ‘The King of Contemplation’, which Seo-yeon is investing in. This is what I heard from the CEO of Lucifer Film, the production company.”

“A contemplative consultant? what else is that?”

“Ah… Kang Ji-hyeok, that friend made a name for himself in the direction of Kwansang and Saju.”

Chairman Jin Seong-cheol asked, slightly gathering his forehead.

“What do you see properly at that age?”

“Chairman, do you remember that the virtual currency called Bitcoin soared last year?”

“know. Hasn’t it been buzzing on the news for a while?”

“Take a look at this, Chairman.”

Cha Moo-seok took out his cell phone and played a YouTube video featuring Ji-hyeok.

In the video, Ji-hyeok scolded ‘Sing reporter’ and predicted that the manager’s investment in bitcoin would soar.

Chairman Jin Seong-cheol, who watched the video to the end, was still frowning.

“Isn’t this video manipulated or manipulated?”

“As you can see by the upload date at the bottom, this video was posted six months before Bitcoin skyrocketed.”

“It’s a shaman, so I guess it’s not a scam or something.”

“That’s right. After the video became famous, hostesses from famous families in the political and business world filled up the reservation list, but because of reporters and paparazzi, hundreds of millions of won were refunded and the business was temporarily closed. And the academic background…”

“Okay, there’s nothing more to hear. How much did the shaman have to study?”

“It wasn’t like that again.”

“Hmm?”

As Cha Moo-seok was able to keep his position thanks to Ji-hyeok, he wanted him to be evaluated as positively as possible.

“I checked his friend’s resident registration and it said that he had originally been adopted to the United States, but had applied for restoration of citizenship two years ago.”

“Adopted child?”

“Yes, my original name was Matthew J. Cohen. Adopted by white Jewish parents, he graduated from Stanford University’s Department of Economics at the top of his class and completed an MBA course at the same university. Later, it was only confirmed that he had worked at hedge funds such as Lehman Brothers and Maggie & John Invest.”

Chairman Jin Seong-cheol was surprised and asked back.

“If it’s Stanford Graduate School of Business…”

“The place you think is right. It ranks in the top 3 along with Harvard and the Wharton School in the annual U.S. University Rankings.”

“He’s such a funny guy. If you hit it in our country, isn’t it coming out of Seoul National University and being shamanic? Why are you living like that with such a good academic background?”

“We still haven’t figured out the exact story behind it.”

Chairman Jin Seong-cheol had no choice but to click his tongue in regret.

I vaguely imagined that he might be a son-in-law, thinking that the man introduced by the youngest daughter, who had never shown any intention of getting married by the time she was 30, had solved the difficult part of the group.

But a shaman… It was only then that Chairman Jin Seong-cheol could understand Seo-yeon’s words that the competitor was strong.

Chairman Jin Seong-cheol did not say anything, so Moo-seok Cha asked.

“Shall we find out a little more?”

“Okay, just leave it alone. It’s not like taking a shaman as a family member… Just look at it later and help me out if there is any difficulty.”

He said that he would not become a member of the family, so make sure to do the calculations.

“Yes, Chairman.”

While Vice Chairman Lee Jae-seong and Chairman Jin Seong-cheol lost interest, Ji-hyeok moved the grave of Dong-soo’s mother to the mountain given by Ilsung Construction.

Dong-soo, who was caressing a mound covered with fine grass on the hillside located in the most remote part of Yongin, smiled happily as he looked at President Seong-han Park and Ji-soo who helped the head.

Then, he approached Jihyeok and asked as if to confirm.

“Brother, my mother’s oxygen……. You won’t be moving again, will you?”

“Yes, it will be faster for your mother to reincarnate than for this area to be developed.”

Dong-su’s decision, which had been pondering over what to do with his mother’s grave for a while, was surprising even to Ji-hyeok.

‘Brother, it’s okay even if it’s not a great spot. Please choose a land that will never be developed so that my mother’s place will never be dug up again.’

From the standpoint of Ilsung Group, who do not understand English, it might have been a bit unclear.

After hearing Jihyeok’s answer, Dongsoo said with a proud expression.

“Brother, let’s go down.”

After driving for about 10 minutes by car parked at the bottom of the mountain, we arrived at the new home of Sunghan Paper.

There were three buildings similar in size to the factory owned by Sunghan Paper, and a large office building was also built.

– Shinsung C&L

With the help of Vertical Movement, it was able to acquire a 69% stake in Shinsung C&L, a KOSDAQ-listed company with a market cap of 27 billion won, for 22 billion won, including the management rights premium.

It was a company that mainly produced cosmetics and mask packs on an OEM basis, and was looking for a new owner due to financial difficulties while building a new factory.

Ji-hyeok approached CEO Seong-han Park, who was staring blankly at the factory.

“One of the factories is empty. You can move the facilities of Sunghan Paper and produce mask pack sheets. And as for the professional manager you mentioned, I will look into it later when the scale grows bigger.”

“Oh, is that so? I was worried because the scale was not formidable, but I’m glad.”

Park Seong-han had said several times that his position would be more suitable for him as a factory manager than the president, but after hearing Ji-hyeok’s answer today, he seemed to have eased his burden.

Ji-hyeok’s position was that he had found the best factory manager.

Jihyeok asked another question to Seonghan Park, who was smiling innocently.

It was a bit of a cautious question.

“Are you not sorry? If you hadn’t handed over Seonghan Paper to me, all 200 billion could have been President Park’s money.”

“hahahaha, I’m a human too, so why not be sad? But my daughter did. If we had it anyway, the land would have gone over to 6 billion. And didn’t the master buy more land by spending 20 billion won? I have a small liver, so I can’t do that.”

Jihyo nodded and said.

“I’m glad you think so. If you merge with Shinsung C&L, the 10% stake in Sunghan Paper that you currently have will decrease significantly. But don’t be too mean, because it’s going to be a lot of money later.”

“Ugh, sure. I just want to thank you, Master.”

Jisoo, who was next to him, also helped.

“Really. Thank you very much, brother.”

If Dong-soo’s older brother was an older brother to himself, it was Ji-soo who arranged the extreme titles.

“Oh, Jisoo originally said that her major was materials engineering, right?”

“Yes, brother.”

“If you want to study more, I can send you to study abroad with company funds. What would you do? I could write a letter of recommendation for Stanford.”

Jisoo waved her hands and said.

“no. You have to go to graduate school to be stuck in a lab, and developing products is more fun for me.”

“okay. Then you will be the director of our laboratory from now on.”

“I-I am the research director? Are there other researchers?”

Jihyuk smiled and said.

“It was only an OEM production, so there was no development manpower at all. It must have been difficult to develop alone in the meantime, but if you need staff, hire enough staff and make a lineup with the products on the list I gave you last time.”

“Yes, brother. While developing the mask pack, I learned all the basics. I also have a concept in mind. Do not worry.”

In the first place, Ji-hyeok had nothing to worry about because Ji-soo had an extraordinary head.

“Okay, when the lineup is complete, report it to President Park and make a prototype first. President Park is in a hurry to secure raw materials so that mass production is possible as soon as prototypes come out.”

Park Seong-han asked.

“By the way, Master, did you find a sales outlet? As you said, raw materials are expensive to produce eco-friendly products…”

“well. I have a good partner, but I’m worried about it because it’s a little annoying. For now, don’t worry and prepare as I say.”

“I understand, Master.”

The moment Ji-hyeok, who thought he had finished what he had to say, was about to get into the car, Ji-hyeok’s cell phone rang loudly.

It was Seoyeon who had been out of touch for a while because she was distracted by Yuwon Cosmetics and Yuwon DF.

“Is there a problem?”

– No, Mr. Jihyeok. Where did I contact you when I shouldn’t have contacted you? Why are you answering the phone so bluntly? Embarrassing people…

In fact, Jihyeok was also a little surprised.

Recently, Seoyeon didn’t bother me and didn’t contact me, but she accepted it in a strangely curt manner.

“Huh… I’m sorry.”

Feeling apologetic, I urgently changed the subject.

“Is the normalization of the company going well?”

– Ehh, everything can be solved with money… Money is an issue, what? It’s a five-star hotel, so it’s made blatantly, but the room reservation rate is less than 80%. The labor cost is too high… As for cosmetics, I think that if things continue like this, I will have to liquidate them.

A soft smile appeared on Jihyeok’s face as he heard Seoyeon’s constant chatter.

Jihyeok wondered if he was annoyed because he missed Seoyeon’s voice, who was chattering like he is now.

– Jihyeok, are you listening to me?

“Ah yes. I am listening.”

– So when are you coming?

“yes? Where are you talking about?”

– Oh really. Look at this. You weren’t listening to a single word I had to say. You said it was a private preview for the king of contemplation today. What if Ji-hyeok doesn’t come after inviting Ji-hyeok’s acquaintances?

“Ah… was that today?”

– Wow, someone pours water and prays every day for the movie to go well, isn’t it too indifferent?

“There are so many things I have to worry about these days that I forgot. I’m sorry. By the way, Seoyeon isn’t even a shaman, so what kind of water do you pour and pray?”

– That’s right, that’s right.

“Anyway, since it’s Yongin right now, it will take some time to go up. When we arrive, the movie will be over, and we will go to the after party.”

– Are you coming? Ah, we should watch a movie together…

“At least it would have turned out well. Do not worry.”

– Hmm… That’s a bit reassuring. Then see you later at the hotel.

“Okay. By the way, if those who were invited under my name come, Seoyeon-ssi, please take care of them.”

– Ah, the vertical movement and the rich man of Congressman Ji-seop Ji?

“Okay, then see you later.”

Throughout the phone call, Secretary Goh witnessed that the smile on Seo-yeon’s face did not go away, and was looking at her with a mysterious look.

“Secretary Ko, why are you looking at me like that?”

“CEO, who are you talking to?”

“why? Did you talk to Jihyeok?”

“Are you two having a date?”

“Ah, what are you talking about? Of course, Jihyeok was a bit handsome.”

Secretary Go put an end to Seo-yeon’s words.

“Not a little, but a lot.”

“Yes, he was very handsome, and he even had a s*xy brain, but…. Secretary Go, are you going to keep saying things? Anyway, I have no intention of competing with God.”

Secretary Go nodded and said.

“So you’re saying you’re in love with the CEO?”

“What is he saying now? Don’t talk nonsense, go and check the invitation that came out in the name of Jihyeok, find out where the seats are, and there’s a limousine at our hotel, right? Let that wait for a while.”

Secretary Go said with a grin.

“yes yes. Kang Ji-hyeok, I’m asking you to wait for a helicopter, not a limousine.”

“Secretary Go, these days, I’m easygoing. right?”

“No, sir!”

“The movie starts soon, so hurry up and find out.”

***

About three hours later, the film’s ending credits roll and the lights inside the theater turn on.

At the same time, the resonant applause hit Seoyeon’s eardrums.

“Waaa!”

“President Kang, is the movie really good?”

“Actor Song’s acting is bloody.”

“The production company will only have to count money.”

Everyone who was invited to the premiere had the word jackpot on their lips.

I heard from Kang Hyeon-joong, CEO of Lucifer Films, that the movie was somewhat lacking, but it was such a hit that I felt like 2 hours and 30 minutes had been deleted.

Seoyeon, who was in a good mood, looked at the late secretary sitting next to her and said,

“Secretary Go, will this just pierce five million?”

“yes? Not even five million, but ten million? Congratulations, CEO.”

Reporters who were invited to the premiere also hurriedly began sending articles.
