The Chairman Who Has No Regrets Episode 190 – America is Falling (4)

Jeon Kang stood up from his seat, smiling in a way he rarely does, as if he was very satisfied.

“I’m going to get ready to go out, so you two should finish eating breakfast.”

“Yes, sir.”

“No need to report separately, just move right away.”

“Yes, I will do that.”

Soon the light disappeared, and Choi Min-ah looked at Kim Kang-min with a curious expression.

“What on earth do you like about that hat, sir?”

Kim Kang-min frowned while cutting an omelette.

“Ms. Choi Min-ah.”

“yes.”

“I’m not a manager anymore. And the person who said “Gopiri” is the person I’m serving.”

Choi Min-ah made a sour expression and corrected her words.

“Where did you find that young shareholder so trustworthy?”

“America is going to fail.”

“yes?”

Choi Min-ah looked at Kim Kang-min with a strange expression as if asking what the hell he was talking about. And then Kim Kang-min snickered at her.

“Someone said that to me. I may have made the same expression as Choi Min-ah.”

“America is going down? What do you mean, World War III?”

“That doesn’t make sense, does it?”

Choi Min-ah nodded as if she was saying something obvious.

“I know that doesn’t make sense. If America falls, it’s the same as if the world falls.”

Choi Min-ah nodded her head.

“Right, if you said Korea would fail, then I wouldn’t understand, but if you said America, that’s ridiculous.”

“But I found myself believing those absurd words.”

“yes?”

“How much money does Ms. Choi Min-a have?”

While Choi Min-ah was thinking for a moment, Kim Kang-min continued speaking.

“Is there more to the person I serve than the person who says ‘gobpiri’?”

Choi Min-ah thought for a moment and shook her head. Her family has a lot of money, but that’s not all of her money. If you simply look at the money she has now, it’s obvious that Jeon Kang, who owns a large portion of Pfex’s shares, is the one with more money.

“no.”

“CEO Jeon Kang is so young that Ms. Choi Min-ah can ignore him and call him a brat.”

Choi Min-ah listened quietly to Kim Kang-min’s words.

“Looking at the child’s birth, it seems he was not born to a wealthy family.”

There was no way Choi Min-ah wouldn’t have seen the information that Kim Kang-min had seen. In fact, she was in a position where she could easily access more advanced information than Kim Kang-min.

“I was the kind of person who would dismiss stories like ‘I got up from the bare floor’ as nothing more than a legend. Like the story of the stone of oblivion.”

“hmm…”

“But then, a person like that actually appeared before my eyes. A person who lost his father at a young age, a person who lived in an environment where it was difficult to learn properly, a high school student who I thought was very young. He has so much money that I wonder if I will ever be able to earn that much in my entire life.”

It was a somewhat unconvincing statement for Choi Min-ah. Although Jeon Kang’s wealth was not small, it was still not an attractive amount compared to her family’s wealth.

However, she wondered in her head whether among the adults in her family there was anyone who had accumulated that much wealth during her time in the family.

There wasn’t any.

Due to some innate factors, everyone in his family had some capital, but Jeon Kang’s wealth was still considerable. Because Choi Min Ah knew something that Kim Kang Min didn’t.

“I despaired when I realized that I could never be like the people I served. I blamed the spoon I was born with. But all of those things were just excuses.”

“Hmm.”

“I just wanted to learn. What does it mean when they say America is going to fail? What would people actually do if they thought America was going to fail? And is America really going to fail? My head was filled with strange questions.”

Choi Min-ah nodded.

When Kim Kang-min said that America was going to fail, a thousand thoughts ran through her head, but the conclusion was that it was nonsense.

“A being appeared who completely changed my cowardly thoughts that I couldn’t get up from the bottom and that I couldn’t beat the spoon I was born with.”

Choi Min-ah nodded quietly.

“That’s why I wanted to believe. And I keep believing.”

“Really, I don’t understand.”

Kim Kang-min smiled brightly.

“Maybe I’m crazy, too. When I first heard that America was going to fail, all I could think was, ‘Are you crazy?’”

“I don’t know about anything else, but I agree with that.”

Kim Kang-min shrugged his shoulders.

Somehow, Choi Min-ah felt uncomfortable because she saw Jeon Kang in that appearance.

“Still, I want to run.”

“Is that all?”

Kim Kang-min chuckled at Choi Min-ah’s words and shook his head.

“Is that really all?”

“Then what is it?”

Kim Kang-min leaned slightly closer to Choi Min-ah and spoke.

“Actually, I had a special talent since I was little.”

“Oh, what is it?”

“It smelled incredibly good.”

“Smell?”

Kim Kang-min nodded.

“Yes, I had an incredible sense of smell for money, so my nickname was the money bug.”

Choi Min-ah smiled faintly.

That person chose to kick Choi Tae-woong and take Jeon Kang. What he knows is that Choi Tae-woong is not a stingy person at all. He is the kind of person who gives appropriate treatment to those who show their ability.

In fact, didn’t Manager Kim Kang-min’s salary double when Choi Tae-woong took charge of PFEX?

Choi Min-ah, who had been looking at Kim Kang-min, thought that his talents were not that outstanding.

If he had a great sense of smell for money, he wouldn’t have made such a stupid choice.

“There is a strong, pungent smell of money to Representative Jeon Kang.”

“Certainly, there is a problem.”

Kim Kang-min is just a crazy guy.

Choi Min-ah thought so.

America is going down.

Jeon Kang-do is crazy, and Kim Kang-min, who is possessed by that crazy guy, is also crazy.

“You two are a good match.”

“Oh, is that so?”

“Yes, it would be a fantastic combination.”

Despite Choi Min-ah’s tone of voice that seemed somewhat sharp, Kim Kang-min continued eating. Today, and until tomorrow. He had to move quickly to make a report that would satisfy the head of the Jeon Gang he was serving.

“I’ll wake up first.”

Choi Min-ah shook her head in response to Kim Kang-min’s words, who cleaned the food almost as if he was inhaling it.

“I don’t know about anything else, but they do look alike. They really have terrible manners.”

Leaving the lady alone.

Of course, Kim Kang-min and Jeon Kang didn’t think of her as a lady. It would have been more accurate to say that they didn’t even consider her.

Because in their minds, money came before Choi Min-a.

**

Kim Kang-min kept his promise.

Sharak, Sharak.

The documents that were passing through my hands were proof of that.

“So it’s best to incorporate in Illinois?”

“Yes, sir. That’s right. I’ve found out that there are various tax havens, but I don’t think that’s the method you’re looking for.”

I nodded.

I’m not a stranger to tax havens, but I didn’t need any of that since I wasn’t trying to create a slush fund.

There was no need to do something like that in the current situation in South Korea. Since the real-name financial transaction system has not been introduced yet, there is no problem at all with transferring it to another person’s name.

“We must be free in America.”

“Yes, that’s why we chose Illinois, which has relatively little interference. The current governor is trying to attract businesses in various ways.”

“It would be easier to understand it as meaning that the benefits are good.”

“That’s right. Most states were very similar.”

He nodded.

In fact, no matter where you do it, it’s all the same. However, since even 0.1% of the tax is a significant amount that will come and go, I just wanted to reduce it a little. It’s stupid not to save taxes.

I read all the reports he handed me and then closed them.

“Okay, let’s do it this way.”

“Yes, sir.”

“It will take about two weeks to establish the corporation.”

“Yes, that’s right, sir.”

2 weeks time.

If so, it’s well past time for me to return to Korea.

“I guess I have to take the next step.”

End of September.

Although I had plenty of time until the Plaza Accord, I was a little short on time to travel to the United States.

It was never because I had to go to school. It was just that I missed my family. It would be more accurate to say that I didn’t want to be away from them even for a moment.

“Please request a meeting with Beryl Lynch, JP Vaughan, Goldman Sachs, and derivatives managers.”

Kim Kang-min, who wrote down my request in a notepad.

“May I ask what kind of work you would like to do?”

I nodded and said.

“I’m going to ask for a new product launch. They probably won’t even turn a nose up at me, so the investment amount is 4 billion.”

When he told me the exact amount, Kim Kang-min’s eyes opened wide for a moment. Choi Min-ah, who had been quietly standing next to him, showed interest.

“Well, that certainly seems like an amount they would be interested in.”

I nodded at Kim Kang-min’s words.

The bait has to be good, the bait has to be good.

Wouldn’t the meat be crowded?

“No, what kind of product is it that you are investing 4 billion won in?”

Obedient eyes towards me.

Unlike Kim Kang-min, who seemed surprised but showed no greed, Choi Min-ah’s eyes seemed to burn with greed.

“Director Kim.”

“Yes, sir.”

“How much was your salary before?”

Kim Kang-min was a manager at a large company.

“It was 385 thousand won.”

His monthly salary was less than 400,000 won. So, it is natural to explain why Choi Min-ah was greedy for money and why Kim Kang-min’s eyes widened.

The amount of 4 billion won is a huge amount for a working person, and it is also an amount that would make even a daughter from a wealthy family drool.

“We didn’t talk about our salaries.”

Kim Kang-min bowed his head at my words.

“Please take care of it, sir.”

The attitude of taking what is given.

In the past, I would have started off very cheaply. I might have laughed at people who were loyal and threw in some small amount of money as performance bonuses.

But this time.

In life now.

I don’t want to do that.

Kim Kang-min, who was always greedy for money.

I don’t show any greed for my money.

That alone would be enough to say that he had the qualities of a great subordinate. Choi Min-ah was already drooling, but right next to her was a money ghost with even greater power than her, keeping her eyes steady.

“Let’s separate the performance from the double.”

Kim Kang-min was startled, thinking that it was a bit too much.

“I heard there’s something called incentives in America, sir.”

“Yes, there is.”

“I would like to receive incentives, not base salary.”

“ha ha ha.”

Laughter erupted from the audience.

Yes, I should know how to take care of my own rice bowl. It’s not that I’m too greedy, but I like this kind of thing. What Kim Kang-min said just now is, “I’m going to bet on you. So, please pay me back with more money.” That’s what he was appealing to me.

I will take some risks in my own way.

I guess that’s what you think.

Risk management is essential in the investment market. Also, higher risks often come with greater rewards.

“Is that okay?”

“Two years. I can last two years.”

The two years that Kim Kang-min mentioned are probably the amount of money he would have spent living in New York with nothing. It is highly likely that it is the money he has saved throughout his life.

Bet your entire fortune on me.

I really like your guts.

Does he know?

Now he is betting on high returns without risk, and he may have a better investment sense than I do. It’s very interesting.

“Let’s do that.”

“thank you.”

Choi Min-ah puts her chin in and purses her lips, as if asking what these guys are talking about.

“Are you interested in investing?”

Choi Min-ah’s eyes sparkle at my question. I thought she was just a reckless woman, but since she reacts like this to money, I guess blood is blood.

“Yes, yes, do you have any good information?”

“Information fee?”

“yes?”

“Is there anything free in the capital markets?”

“Hey, how many people have lost money after investing based on information?”

I don’t want to take even the smallest risks.

I want to receive a return.

Yeah, people are always like this.

Only those who are confident enough to take risks can stand somewhere high up there.

“Well then, I guess I’ll just try to find it.”

“Hey- Don’t be like that, tell me- Good is good.”

I said with a shrug.

“Well, it’s not like there’s any information to hide.”

“Oh my, people are so kind.”

Choi Min-ah swallowed hard and focused on me. Well, unlike Kim Kang-min, I wonder if you can really believe what I say. I said without stopping the corners of my lips from rising.

“America is going to fail. I’m betting on that.”

Choi Min-ah opened her mouth in surprise, then looked at me and Kim Kang-min alternately as if she was dumbfounded. Soon, she shook her head.

That’s all there is to it.

He must be a person unknown to the world.

I erased Choi Min-ah from my mind.

There was no need to pay any more attention. There was no time for that.

The 4 billion that I will invest, that I will invest by borrowing money. How much of that 4 billion will I get back? My head is busy calculating.
