The Chairman Who Has No Regrets Episode 193 – Returning Home.

A week in the US was pretty boring. There wasn’t really anything to do. Kim Kang-min took care of everything, and all I did was visit pretty photogenic spots and evaluate them.

“Boarding procedures are complete, sir.”

I nodded and patted Kim Kang-min on the shoulder.

“What do you want to do?”

It may seem like a random question, but Kim Kang-min bit his lips and answered with determination.

“After your work is finished, I will remain in the United States.”

The corners of the mouth went up.

“We cannot support your living expenses.”

“I think I have some time left, so I’m thinking about doing something else. Sir, would you allow me to do this part-time job?”

“Time is entirely up to free will.”

“I will never allow this to interfere with your work.”

I said it roughly.

I didn’t give him any information. But this time, Kim Kang-min came back with an answer that I really liked.

I could guess what he was planning to do while he was in America. Just as he couldn’t hold back love and a sneeze, his greed for money was evident in his eyes.

“Investing is always about mentality. And it’s important not to repeat mistakes.”

Kim Kang-min opened his eyes wide for a moment.

“As expected··· You knew.”

He didn’t say he was going into the investment market, but I knew he was definitely going to move to acquire knowledge of the fundamentals of investing along with running an investment firm.

“I will keep that in mind, sir.”

I nodded and took the carrier.

“Erasing emotions is not an easy task.”

He pricked up his ears and focused on me.

“You have to erase your own feelings and understand the feelings of others.”

“hmm···”

It may still be difficult to understand.

Controlling your own emotions seems like a dream, but understanding the emotions of others may seem like grasping at straws.

Let me give you a little more tip.

You always bring me the right answers.

I decided to reveal my know-how that I would never have revealed in my previous life.

“It’s hard to erase your emotions from the beginning and understand other people’s emotions. Try putting your greed in other people’s shoes. If you start from that, it will be easier.”

“It’s difficult, but I’ll try.”

I chuckled at his answer.

“No effort is required. Doing well. What matters is doing well.”

“Haha, I’ll keep that in mind.”

Not befitting of the times.

He was a man without prejudice.

I didn’t think he was like that now because I lived in a world called New York and a country called America.

People who are awake tend to stick out like an awl in a pocket. I thought he would stick out like an awl, too.

I feel a prickle in the back of my head as I enter the gate. He will probably stay there until I disappear, and he will continue to protect my American corporation.

Old man.

If you saw me now, you’d be surprised.

The monster has become even more monstrous. This time, I will definitely win, so just wait.

So I set off for South Korea, where my loved ones are.

**

Kim Kang-min, who was looking at the afterimage of Jeon Kang who had disappeared inside the gate, snickered.

“Oh, I told you, you are a very interesting person.”

When I meet those strange eyes that seem to know everything without me having to say anything, I open my mouth without any hiding or hesitation.

“Understand other people’s greed···”

Perhaps, as he said, Jeon Kang understood Kim Kang Min’s greed. Thinking so, Kim Kang Min hurriedly left the place.

Because I rented a car for the preparatory ceremony. I had to return it by 6pm today, so I could save a day’s rent.

“Should I have just asked for the base salary?”

He wondered if he was crazy for asking for all the money as a performance bonus because of the smell of money that was tickling his nose, or if he was possessed by something, but when he remembered Jeon Kang’s eyes, he just snickered.

“Hehehehehe-”

If you stop thinking about it, you’ll be confident that you can succeed, so why bother saving on rent?

Still, Kim Kang-min has to save what he can, so he hurries to move the car.

Gulp.

The stomach rumbling loudly.

Because he was busy moving around since morning, he didn’t even eat a single meal. Of course, he could have eaten breakfast with Jeon Kang, but unlike him who had received support from Pfex, Kim Kang Min was now in a position where he couldn’t receive support, so he had to save that money.

After parking the car and processing the return process, he checks the cash in his wallet and smiles bitterly.

“You only have six dollars. Anyway, I’m telling you, you’re a strange representative.”

Liberation, or detachment, from everything in the world.

The strange man who seemed to see all existence under his feet bought so many souvenirs that he had to check in three suitcases. And of course, the cost came out of Kim Kang-min’s pocket.

“Whenever it comes to family, you become a total idiot.”

He couldn’t dare ask the CEO for some money. His belief was that he couldn’t show weakness to someone who expected him to do well on his own.

“Ugh.”

Thanks to this, Kim Kang-min’s steps naturally led him to a Ham Donald’s store where he could get a meal for around a dollar.

I really hate hamburgers.

His representative, Jeon Kang, was a man who never uttered useless words. He needed to get used to this hamburger, if only to see the old man he was talking about.

Tiring.

The chime makes an unpleasant noise.

I don’t like hamburgers, so I guess I don’t want to hear this.

I ordered the exact same menu the manager had ordered and sat down, but then I saw a crowd of people in nice suits gathered in the corner, making noise.

“Hmm.”

While Jeon Kang was sightseeing and shopping here and there with Manager Choi Min-ah, Kim Kang-min had been going to work at the Ham Donald’s store for several days.

What he meant was that he hadn’t seen anything like this in days.

“The menu you ordered has arrived.”

Kim Kang-min nodded, took a tray of hamburgers, and sat down as close as possible to the noise.

Kim Kang-min, who puts the hamburger aside and focuses on who the men in suits are talking to, is standing between them.

“ah.”

Between the shoulders of the large men in suits, an old man with gray hair was sipping a cola with a cold face.

Kim Kang-min instinctively knew that the old man was the person the representative had spoken of.

I wish I had left just one day later.

Kim Kang-min put his regrets aside and focused on their conversation.

“Mr. Buffett, something interesting happened at JP Morgan recently.”

I glanced at the familiar voice and it was him.

A guy named William.

Kim Kang-min, who thought it was strange to talk to an old man who was eating a rich hamburger, took a bite of the cheeseburger he didn’t want to eat.

“The Orientals came and asked to open a new derivative product.”

Buffett still seemed indifferent, mechanically chewing his hamburger and sipping his cola. William began to mutter, as if he wanted to attract more attention.

“It’s a derivative product based on the collapse of the US dollar and the surge in the value of the yen. Hahaha, isn’t it a really interesting derivative product?”

Buffett’s jaw joint, which had been vigorously chewing, suddenly stopped.

Buffett turned his head and looked at William.

“What kind of product is it?”

“It is a product related to the dollar and its value plummeting and the yen’s value skyrocketing.”

“Hoo.”

Buffett’s eyes sparkled for a moment.

William starts to talk more, seeming thrilled that he’s getting attention.

“He said he was going to invest $5 million with a leverage of 30 times, haha!”

When the white people around Buffett show interest in William’s story, they all start to join in.

“Oh, wow! William, sales this month are going to be sweet.”

“I guess you should buy the hamburger today? It’s such a freebie!”

“Did an angel come from the East?”

“Damn it! We came to Goldman Sachs first-”

William laughed heartily at the man who mentioned Goldman Sachs.

“Hehe, that’s why you guys are always in second place.”

“What the hell are you talking about? JP Morgan.”

Suddenly, Buffett lost interest again and roughly crumpled up the hamburger wrapper he had finished eating and placed it on the plate.

“An Asian opened a derivatives account with $5 million… and with 30x leverage?”

“Yes, Mr. Buffett! Isn’t that interesting?”

Buffett nodded.

“Well, definitely.”

Buffett, who lost interest in William, seems to have become interested in Asians.

The men were in a state of confusion, trying to explain what had happened, but they could not interfere with Buffett’s movements.

Kim Kang-min hurriedly stuffed the hamburger into his throat and gulped down the cola, forcing himself to swallow it.

“Ugh.”

Kim Kang-min stood up after trimming himself slightly and placed a hand on William’s shoulder.

“hey.”

“Huh.”

“It’s disappointing that you keep talking nonsense.”

“ah···”

William can’t hide his embarrassed face.

Buffett, who was about to leave, looked at Kim Kang-min and asked if he was interested.

“Are you that Asian?”

“The representative I serve is that Asian.”

“Oh, I see.”

Buffett, perhaps losing interest again, quietly picked up the tray.

Kim Kang-min looked straight into William’s eyes and said.

“If you talk about business information so casually, can we trust you?”

“Um, I made a mistake. I’m sorry.”

“I don’t need words, I just want to hear a concrete compensation plan.”

Kim Kang-min has become cold without us noticing.

William swallowed hard at the changed prayer of Kim Kang-min, and Buffett, who had just picked up the tray, put it down again as if he was interested.

“I will bring a definite compensation plan by tomorrow.”

“In addition, we are writing a new contract regarding confidentiality breaches.”

“Yes, I will prepare.”

William lowers his head with a red face and disappears from his seat.

Buffett raised one corner of his mouth and spoke to the men around him.

“You guys probably aren’t that different? Are you still going to be sitting here?”

The men in suits around them blush and disappear.

As the people disappeared, Kim Kang-min looked at Buffett.

“The representative asked me to convey a message.”

“The guy who opened the derivatives?”

“yes.”

Buffett laughs out loud at what he finds funny.

“What did you want me to say?”

“I was sure you won last time, but this time I’m sure you’ll win.”

Buffett tilted his head.

Kim Kang-min’s mission ends here.

Kim Kang-min, who thought he wouldn’t have to eat hamburgers for a while, nodded his head slightly and disappeared from the seat.

“It was a great evening.”

Buffett grinned and slurped down the last bit of cola he had left, as if he was so satisfied with something.

“The dollar is plummeting and the yen is soaring.”

It was very interesting.

I liked the comfortable business class seat, so I raised my hand and asked for a flight attendant.

“Have you found it, sir?”

A blonde beauty appeared smiling.

“What kind of main dishes are available?”

For a moment, the blonde beauty quickly examines me.

“Um… Excuse me, sir, but could you please check your passport?”

I wiggled my eyebrows without realizing it.

Damn, does it look difficult?

But why are my ears so ticklish? Who is swearing at me? I wonder if the flight attendant in front of me is swearing inwardly. I quickly scratched my ear with one finger.

And at that sight, the flight attendant bit her lower lip as if she was nervous for a moment, but then spoke kindly.

“Oh, sorry if that offended you. We have champagne, wine, whiskey, cognac, rum and beer.”

I think there was a misunderstanding, but I didn’t correct it.

“Ahem, I see. Will the meal be ready shortly?”

“Yes, sir, that is correct.”

“Okay, then I’ll come back again then.”

“Okay, I understand. Have a nice flight.”

Churp.

My mouth is watering.

It’s because I’m only thinking about making money.

Never.
