The Chairman Who Has No Regrets Episode 76 – A Grand Plan (7)

Director Baek, who got into the car, looked at me sitting in the passenger seat and asked.

“Are you going to the stock market?”

“yes.”

There are still many people who don’t know or aren’t interested in stocks or securities, but Director Baek seems to know quite a bit.

“You also trade stocks…”

It’s almost time for stock prices to soar.

Even if I were to invest all of my seed money into saving the shantytown, it wouldn’t be enough. So what can I do? I have to increase my seed money.

Fortunately, since I had already thrown the bait to Choi Tae-woong, there would be time left until my funds were invested.

My plan was to put the approximately 2 million won I currently had in stocks and use the prize money that Choi Tae-woong would give me in a few days to start purchasing real estate.

“Please go to Taeshin.”

“yes.”

The stock market workers’ quitting time is approaching. The market should have closed long ago, but I had to get to the stock market to buy the stocks I wanted as soon as the market opened tomorrow.

It would be convenient if you could buy and sell from home or in a place with internet access using your mobile phone or PC, but given the times, there are more than a few inconveniences.

Squeak.

The car came to a smooth stop.

“Okay, ten minutes will do.”

“Okay, feel free to come and take care of your work.”

As I walk quickly, I can feel that there are quite a few more people in the guest room than when I came last time.

Middle-aged women with curly permed hair, old men with both hands on canes, men in suits reading newspapers.

This is probably evidence that South Korea’s economic growth rate is starting to become more noticeable.

It was a time when you could earn over ten percent interest just by putting money in the bank. It was a time when money could make money just by using the stock market a little. It is no exaggeration to say that the real boom period in Korea is starting now.

“Huh? You’re that student from back then?”

The staff recognizes me.

“Yes, hello?”

“Yes, hello, our customer.”

Just because I’m a student, I still use informal language.

There will come a day when you won’t be able to speak to me like that.

He took out a yellow envelope from his pocket and handed it to me.

“Want to invest more?”

“Yes, are there any other listed securities firms?”

He nods his head.

“Please buy five types of stocks evenly to be safe.”

“Hey, do you have an eye for it?”

“Is that so?”

“Yeah, stock prices are rising little by little these days, and there are more and more people in the waiting room.”

It’s very important information, but he answers in a businesslike manner as if it’s nothing special.

If you are quick-witted and have investment skills, or if you work around Yeouido, it would be beneficial to invest as soon as possible.

“Did you buy it too, sir?”

“Hey, let’s go up.”

“Stockholders?”

“Yeah, I think something else would be better than stocks. How about construction stocks? Or maybe textiles?”

Are you in your right mind to invest in the textile industry, which is now going bankrupt?

“I heard that wool companies are going bankrupt one after another.”

“So, there is opportunity in crisis. Don’t you know that saying?”

“Oh, yes.”

The absurdity of it all makes me laugh out loud.

“Wouldn’t the strong companies benefit more since everyone else is going bankrupt? Because all their competitors are dead.”

You can interpret it that way. If you simply thought that the textile industry was dying, you were mistaken. The important thing is why the textile industry in Korea is dying.

With labor costs rising, foreign companies seeking profits from those labor costs are leaving. This is what you need to know. The era of Korea doing OEM is coming to an end.

“Well, I don’t know about manufacturing.”

“The manufacturing isn’t bad either.”

“Please buy stocks first.”

“Oh, right. Since it’s an over-the-counter market, I’ll buy evenly when the market opens tomorrow, right?”

“Yes, please do so.”

“Hey- I see you’ve already earned 11 percent. That’s better than the bank interest.”

I nodded my head and ended the conversation with him.

I’m not even satisfied with a profit of 11 percent, so I can’t even laugh. Even if it went up 11 times, it wouldn’t be that surprising, but it’s only 11 percent.

“Then, thank you for your hard work.”

“Okay- Take care-”

“yes.”

“Give my regards to Chunshik-”

I went outside, buried in the crowd of people leaving the room one by one.

In a short while, you can see Yeouido with many people moving around. The stock market is gradually coming to life. You should be able to interpret this scene properly. Of all those people, how many of them have invested in stocks?

Well, it would be better for me if it didn’t exist.

Because you can pick it up from the floor.

widely.

As I got into the car, Director Baek stared blankly at me.

“The sun is setting now.”

I nodded.

I thought it would be a good idea to wrap up today’s schedule here.

“Yes, that’s right.”

“Should I stop by the real estate office and then go in?”

“Okay, so starting tomorrow, will the filming crew be coming too?”

Director Baek answers while changing gears.

“I think I need to go in and get the exact payment.”

“okay.”

“I think we’ll be able to move with the filming crew by the day after tomorrow at the latest.”

“Are you sure that this documentary will be approved right away?”

He nods his head.

“I think the plan is not bad, so I think the director will agree. I like the idea of ​​giving the homes and lands that were lost to the common people who were suffering and having a hard time.”

Penetrates the exact essence.

To be more precise, that’s an excuse and the purpose is my greed, but it’s also true that I produce broadcasts for that purpose.

The reason we are trying to show the changes in Sanggye-dong through broadcasting is to naturally create favorable public opinion and make it difficult to easily tamper with such favorable public opinion.

When we arrived at the property, the owner was sitting on the sofa drinking tea and fidgeting with his fingers.

“Check the contract.”

Looking at the contract he had written, there seemed to be no problem. He was definitely someone with a long career, so he handled things neatly.

“Yes, it looks fine.”

“Man, this is so foolish, so foolish.”

well.

I don’t think I’m a fool at all.

“Please print out enough contracts, because it seems like there will be a lot of land and houses to buy in the future.”

“Whew- I have no idea if this is right.”

“This is a broadcast, so please think about it.”

“If they ask me to give you money, I have to do it. Don’t you have to pay the brokerage fee?”

The commission will not be large because the unit price is low to begin with. The appearance fee paid by the broadcasting station may be higher. Of course, the commission will not be negligible as the number of items increases, but each one will be very small.

“Yes, I should give it to you.”

“It turned out well even though there was nothing to do.”

“Please continue to look for land or houses with owners first.”

“I’m done today, so I’ll start looking tomorrow morning.”

“yes.”

After leaving the real estate, Director Baek headed to the broadcasting station, and I headed to my mother’s store.

It’s just dinner time, but Mom’s shop is already bustling. Today, all the tables in Mom’s shop are occupied, and there are even customers waiting outside.

And when I show up, people point their fingers at me.

My little sister shakes her head vigorously through the gap in the open store door in the distance.

He was smiling broadly, which seemed to indicate that he was telling me not to come to the store.

‘I need your help?’

I also smiled and answered from afar, but she shook her head and said that she was not my older sister.

‘If you come, I’ll be busier.’

I had no choice but to nod, but then someone tapped me on the shoulder.

“Huh? Architect.”

“Is business going well?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

“It seems like it was a great thing to win first place in the scholarship quiz.”

“I was lucky.”

He chuckles at my words.

“The design is finished, from a distance. Now we need to look at it up close, because we don’t know what materials the buildings are made of.”

I looked at the blueprint that was handed over along with the horse. The blueprint, which looked like it was being viewed from above, clearly showed the mascot Hodori that I wanted.

“I guess it’s possible?”

“It would require a lot of structural changes, but it could be possible. Last time I looked, most of them were made of wood, so it would be easier.”

“Is that so?”

“We can just maintain the main beam and add some columns to give it some shape. The permit is the bigger problem.”

“That part will be fine.”

“is it so?”

“I had a conversation with the mayor.”

“If civil servants cooperate, things will be easier.”

He nodded and naturally started walking towards the shantytown. The shantytown he was looking at from afar had already been designed, so it was time to look at it up close.

Sweep, sweep.

He asked, as he was drawing various sketches of the houses in the shantytown in a fairly large sketchbook.

“You said you were going to make it like a fairy tale village?”

“Yes, it has to be nice to look at from afar and up close to become a tourist attraction.”

“Architecture has its limits. I am an architect, not an artist.”

He who is lowering himself.

“Doesn’t architecture also need design?”

“Isn’t it a problem if what you want isn’t a simple design?”

I nodded.

It certainly seemed like it would require the help of other artists to make it look like a fairy tale. It didn’t have to be flashy art.

“Please design the structure that is most suitable for drawing a mural.”

“It’s not difficult, a mural… Are you sure it’s not a child’s drawing?”

He smiled bitterly and shook his head.

It would be nice if it could be done that way, but it seems like opinions on children’s drawings will be greatly divided.

“Then it looks like you’ll bring a painter with you?”

“There are some art students who know the artist, even if they are not painters.”

“Hmm- if it’s to that extent.”

“Please also design the areas where the statues and statues will be placed.”

“Okay.”

“Please also plan photo spots here and there that children would enjoy.”

“I know how you feel.”

His hands move more busily.

From the sketches you see here, it’s hard to see how this shantytown will change.

“But, will there be enough time? The Asian Games are just around the corner.”

“Yes, the Asian Games will still hold out.”

“If that’s the case, then that’s fortunate…”

I thought that it was more important how long the architect Kim Up-joong’s name would last than how long the shantytown would last.

“How is your health, Mr. Architect?”

He smiles faintly, and seems a little more lively. He looks noticeably better than the wry smile he used to have.

“I guess it’s because I’ve been working so hard, but I wish things were like this these days.”

Apart from that weird way of speaking, he definitely looked like he was having a good time these days.

“You can speak comfortably.”

“I like this, it’s comfortable.”

“yes.”

As I wandered through the shantytown, chatting away, I soon found myself in every section. There were some really big and heavy stories buried in this small shantytown.

It’s a small shantytown that can be examined in detail in just 30 minutes of walking. How much time and sorrow have accumulated inside it?

widely.

The sound of his sketchbook folding brought me out of my thoughts. The sun was already setting, and the red sunset was clearly visible.

“The detailed design will be completed within 7 days.”

“Yes, I understand.”

He called out to architect Kim Up-joong, who was turning around.

“Architect.”

He turns around and looks at me blankly.

“Would you like to climb the mountain for a moment?”

He tilted his head, but soon nodded and climbed the mountain with me. He said he was in poor health, so he climbed the mountain slowly and steadily so as not to overdo it.

As I continue to climb past the flat rock at the halfway point, he calls me from behind in a breathless voice.

“Are you going to the top today?”

“Yes, I need it to look a little wider.”

“Tsk, let’s talk.”

“If it’s hard, you can come down.”

He shakes his head.

“I have to see it through to the end.”

“yes.”

So I climbed for another 40 minutes. Among the many peaks, I looked down at Sanggye-dong from the peak with the best view of Sanggye-dong and said.

“I want to design the whole thing from here.”

He looks at me with surprised eyes.

“I think you can see the whole ball?”

I nodded.

Because that’s what I wanted.

“Are you saying you want to develop the entire district?”

“Yes, not right now, but someday.”

“Are you asking me to design it?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

“Hehe, what should I do for you?”

I smiled and took out the two film photographs I had in my arms.

“Like this during the day, like this at night.”

“It’s a family photo.”

“Yes, is that okay?”

Architect Kim Up-joong raises the corners of his mouth.

“As a will, I don’t think it would be bad.”

“It has to shine to be visible at night, right?”

“I understand, what do you want me to do?”

Darkness fell over the Sanggye-dong area as the sun was setting.

If only I could see that person’s brightly shining face in that place where only a few small dots of light are visible.

I wonder if my mother will like it.

Sanggye-dong, as my mother wished.

I must make the whole thing mine, of course, as well as the whole sphere. That is the fastest and safest way to fulfill my mother’s wish.

“You’ll like it, right?”

It was a sudden question, but Kim Up-joong seemed to sense something as he raised the corners of his lips and nodded his head.

“I guess so, because it’s romantic.”

Indeed, mother.

I wonder if you’ll like my grand plan.

I hope you can do that.
