Son of a Conglomerate at the Highest Level
Chapter 16
< Negotiation (3) >
I grabbed the end of the file folder.
“I never said I was selling this ledger?”
“huh?”
“This is already the third. You said it was an eight million won business, when did I say I would sell it for eight million won?”
One end of the file folder is held by Master, and the other end is held by me.From noble mtl dot com
No one lifted their hand.
“There were two things I prepared as collateral. A watch and a business card. Did you forget again?”
“That, that’s…!”
“This means that I had no intention of being secured.”
The power in Master’s hands was released.
“But since I came all the way here because I needed the money, there’s no reason I couldn’t sell it.”
I put the tenon on my side.
He pointed over his shoulder with his thumb.
“By the way, the man over there called for 10 million won.”
“…”
Master looked back at Secretary Kim, not at me this time.
Secretary Kim raised the corner of her mouth as if she was very satisfied.
“Hey, what did you do to the kid while I was away for a while?”
“It’s not a manual job. We just offered a reasonable price.”
Secretary Kim smiled.
“It is up to the owner to decide whether or not to sell the item to the pawnshop, and Taeseong intends to buy that ledger. Any problem here?”
“…”
Master opened his mouth wide.
I clapped my hands.
“Okay, then we’ll start the auction now.”
“Auction?”
“Auction?”
I shrugged.
“There is only one thing, but there are two people who want it, so wouldn’t it be neat to decide the owner of the thing according to the logic of capitalism?”
“…”
“You were going to buy this anyway, keep the original, and resell the copy at a high price to a competitor in the subway construction project.”
“Oh, it’s the back goal. A customer at my pawnshop is bidding on me, which makes sense!”
“Taesung is 10 million won, what about the peregrine falcon pawn shop? Are you going to give up?”
“Who gave up? One thousand and fifty!”
Master screamed loudly.
Even from Master’s point of view, this ledger would have been a waste of time to miss.
‘How many construction companies are drooling over subway construction? Even if you just hand out copies, you’ll earn several times what you paid for. It’s a bonus to stomp with him and figure out where to enter the subway station.’
If you have a good eye and are good at seizing opportunities, it must be a windfall opportunity that you absolutely do not want to miss.
However, secretary Kim also had no intention of backing down.
“One thousand five hundred!”
Many construction companies are eyeing the construction of subway line 2, but Taesung and Woogwang are unique.
‘If only Woo-gwang were pushed out, there would be no construction company comparable to Taeseong. Would Secretary Kim miss this golden opportunity?’
It can’t be.
I know that he has been by the side of Chairman Cha for over 20 years as his closest aide.
I wonder if there are no bullets so I can easily fall out.
“profit! One thousand five hundred and fifty!”
“One thousand eight hundred!”
I raised my hand there.
“Then I’ll stop here.”
“why! Am I willing to call more? One thousand eight hundred and fifty!”
“Aside from selling, do you feel like the owner of something?”
“…”
Master opened his mouth.
After a while, he burst into laughter.
“No, the guy who came to borrow money from a pawnshop refused to give me more money?”
“Ah, so that’s what I mean. Could you give back the thing you were trying to secure as collateral?”
“…”
I shrugged.
“The reason I came here was to make up for the remaining balance of 18 million won. But have you got all the money? Should I take collateral in this situation? Why?”
“Heh heh heh.”
Master raised both hands as if he couldn’t stop them.
“Yes, take it.”
Master had no choice but to hand over the two items she had been trying to secure as collateral.
According to the rules of the pawnshop, the item becomes the pawnshop owner’s only after the collateral and the money have been exchanged.
But I haven’t gotten the pawnshop’s money yet, so our deal hasn’t worked out.
So the pawnshop owner has to give me back my stuff.
‘thank god.’
I took my father’s watch and secretary Kim’s business card just as I had brought them.
‘I don’t have to sell my mother’s memories.’
This watch is the only father’s thing that mother keeps.
Even though she rented a small room in a shantytown in Guro-dong and sold vegetables at the market, her mother did not sell this watch.
I put it in a jewelry box and treasured it.
At a glance, it’s obvious why they cherish rather than sell a watch that seems to be quite valuable.
‘Even if I kept it to prove that I am of my father’s lineage, it doesn’t change that this is an item containing precious memories of my mother.’
It bothered me that I had to sell all my father’s stuff to buy a house.
Even when I brought this from the inn, I didn’t feel good the whole time.
But since I was able to raise the money without selling it, I couldn’t be more relieved than this.
‘If Secretary Kim hadn’t followed me, I wouldn’t have been able to solve the money problem so easily.’
lucky.
‘Secretary Kim said that he came to tell Chairman Cha what to do, but it’s obvious that the Chief of Staff who is closest to the Chairman will be away for several hours.’
It must be because of me.
‘Perhaps to report to Chairman Cha the conclusion he made after observing me. What is the number of sprouts?’
Either that or not.
Thanks to that, I’ve benefited greatly from Secretary Kim, so it doesn’t matter anyway.
Swoop.
I put the pastries I bought from the bakery on the way home on the pawnshop counter.
Master raised her monocle as if to ask what this was.
“It is a gift.”
“Heh, give me a bribe instead. Like that ledger that you wear on your side. Hmmm!”
“Bribes are given for favors. What can I ask the pawnshop owner for? I don’t know if it’s secured as collateral and lends money.”
“…”
“It is said that a gift is something that is delivered from the heart without a price. So you can take this without thinking about it.”
I put my hands together and saluted my belly button.
“take care of yourself. Next time, I’ll bring you a gift that’s better than western snacks.”
with my daughter
I turned my back and left the pawnshop.
Secretary Kim followed me without a word.
I opened my mouth only after leaving the building.
“This ledger is a bribe.”
Secretary Kim looked down at me strangely as he took up the ledger I handed him.
“well. According to the boy’s dictionary, bribes are given for favors, but didn’t I pay a reasonable price?”
“Even though there were people who wanted to raise the auction price, you refused and only received 18 million won. That’s why it’s a bribe.”
“…”
Secretary Kim stopped walking and stopped.
“Besides, I’m running a bottomless business right now. I haven’t even received the money yet, but I’m going to give it to you from the ledger. Could there be a more secure credit transaction than this?”
“…”
“That is my favor.”
This person is one of Taesung Group Chairman Cha’s closest aides whom he trusts and cherishes.
It’s good to take a picture when you can take a picture of your eyes.
As he said, there are times when you go through life and see dirty things, and you need at least one joker that you can take out at that time.
“How much will Taesung’s share price soar if it wins the construction of subway line 2? What is the value of Taeseong’s name that will be etched into people’s minds?”
“…”
“The projected bid for subway line 2 alone is about 180 billion won. Compared to that, the 18 million won book value of the bribe is really cheap, cheap! This won’t even pay for the bribes that Woo-gwang spread.”
“…”
“Dedicate that ledger to Chairman Cha. It will come back more than what was ripped off by me. It’s a service.”
I blinked one eye.
“That’s why it’s a bribe.”
“ha ha ha!”
Secretary Kim burst into laughter for the first time.
“I will accept the bribe that the young master took care of without hesitation.”
all right
This is the oil that makes the world run smoothly.
What other lubricant is more effective than this?
“So that’s the point. Agent Park Cheol-gu, who was dragged into the basement of Seobinggo. The person who wrote this ledger.”
“yes.”
“Can you get me out?”
Secretary Kim smiled.
“of course. In a situation where there is no clear evidence that Wookwang Construction was behind it, is there anything difficult?”
This is all thanks to me stealing the original.
The grim reaper raised his thumb from the side.
‘If Mr. Cheol-gu had started by threatening the political figures listed in the ledger, this wouldn’t have happened. Tsk tsk, I guess you didn’t even think about that? No, what did you do without making a copy until now?’
A gentleman with good touch has slow hands.
It’s a matter of life, so what have you been doing all this time?
“Please.”
“Nothing to worry about. If Woo-gwang can do it, Tae-seong can do it too. Leave this to me.”
This is really good.
After all, Secretary Kim! A fixer who takes care of the dirty work of the Taesung Group!
“I’ll treat this as my favor to repay the young master’s sincerity. I received something, so I have to serve you.”
Trust that grows in the castle that comes and goes!
I can achieve my goal without using Secretary Kim’s business card.
After all, pre-oiling is the best.
“There is not much time left for our appointment with the president.”
Secretary Kim checked his watch and said.
“Let’s hurry up and finish the house contract and move to the Taesung Hotel. I will guide you.”
* * *
The coffee shop on the second floor of the Taesung Hotel was decorated in a luxurious European style.
A barista who studied abroad in Italy brewed roasted coffee immediately after ordering, and a tea master who returned from learning tea ceremony in Japan brewed tea directly into a pottery set.
“I’ll give you milk coffee, but Jeong-hyeok would prefer cocoa, right?”
“…”
Cocoa!
Cocoa in a place that smells so good!
It’s not British milk tea, it’s not two-egg tea, or cocoa?
“How did you come up with that much money anyway? I even brought back the watch I was told to leave at the pawnshop, but how?”
“I want some cocoa.”
I gulped down the cold water.
Is there any way to explain this?
In that case, you should shut your mouth and drink.
Even if it is stale water or lye, it is time to shut up and eat it.
“Couldn’t it be that Secretary Kim was forced to extort money from you?”
“Am I a beggar? Are you a robber? I really didn’t.”
Secretary Kim, who was drinking espresso across the street, also nodded in agreement.
On Secretary Kim’s table, there is only one ledger hidden in a paper bag.
Suddenly, Secretary Kim put down the teacup and jumped up.
“Chairman, are you here?”
President?
I turned my head to where Secretary Kim’s gaze was heading.
“Oh my, my golden child!”
The man who had come running with his arms wide open with a big smile hugged me.
