The next day, inside the room of the Samjeong Group Chairman’s residence.

“Is it okay to invest like this?”

In front of Jihyeong stands Manager Oh Sang-Hyeon, sent by Ji-Seong.

“Yes, the analysis results show that the South Korean composite stock price index will surge significantly at the end of the year.”

“Whoever analyzed that must be intelligent, right?”

“Yes, that’s right. Of course, I discussed it with the investment experts that Ji Sung-gun scouted.”

“Jisung and I are really different.”

“yes?”

“Only mom doesn’t know that.”

Jihyeong spoke as if talking to himself.

“What are you saying, Master Jihyeong?”

“No. Mom and Ji-sung will take care of investing, so please do what you want.”

Jihyeong, the eldest brother of Ji-sung, was not interested in the investment competition that his grandfather, the chairman of Samjung Group, started by betting 1% of Samjung Trading Company’s shares.

‘Jisung and I are different. Ah!’

The terrain was breathtaking.

“But did Ji-seong also invest all of his 1 billion in Ji-su?”

“No. Master Ji-seong invested 500 million won in Ji-soo and used the remaining 500 million won to establish a record production and singer planning company.”

“A singer planning company?”

Jihyeong’s expression suddenly changed.

“Yes, why are you doing that?”

“No, I understand.”

A week later, at Jisung’s investment office.

We are using a luxury apartment as an investment office.

I use the bedroom as my office.

“Jisung, as you planned, we have established a subsidiary company in Samjung Heavy Industries, and the establishment of Taean Industrial, a trading company that I helped your maternal grandfather, Park Munsu, operate as an international arms brokerage company, is in the final stages.”

“You are really fast.”

“We hired the best law firm, and Samjung Defense, a subsidiary established by Samjung Heavy Industries, said that they would sign an investment contract as soon as Taean Industrial was established.”

“First, $100 million will be deposited.”

“I was surprised to hear from you too. And I also confirmed once again that the chairman, no, father-in-law, thinks highly of you.”

“My grandfather will transfer the 10% stake that Taean Industrial will transfer to Samjeong Defense to me.”

“Then what about the remaining 90% of Taean Industrial?”

“Of the remaining 90%, I will own 75%, my maternal grandfather will own 10%, and my great-uncle will own 5%.”

“Why are you giving me 5%?”

“Now the people are angry about the Russian loan that was not received. And you introduced me to the KBS news director.”

“Okay, I understand. I’ll keep it safe.”

Eventually, I will inherit the 5% stake that my great-uncle owns.

“And Ji-seong.”

“Yes, great-uncle.”

“Your second uncle is coming today.”

If you are my great-uncle’s second younger brother, you are the uncle who runs a junk shop.

“That’s great. I was waiting for my second uncle to come.”

“I’m still worried.”

“What are you so worried about?”

“I wonder if my second younger brother, Hyuk, will be able to help you with your grand business plan. Ji-seong, each person has their own unique charm. Not everyone is as great as you.”

“I know, but I think it depends on who inspires and guides you.”

“Hyuk, Ji-seong could be a burden to you.”

“If you don’t make progress, Uncle Hyuk can go back to being a junk dealer. The international resource recycling company I think of is actually no different from a junk dealer. The only difference is the size of the junk they deal with. I’ll take care of it.”

“Okay. And I connected Manager Oh to your eldest brother, Jihyeong, and as you said, he invested in derivative products related to the surge in the South Korean composite stock index.”

“You invested all 1 billion?”

“Yes, Jihyeong invested all 1 billion and you have 500 million. So if you succeed in index investment as you said, Jihyeong will at least beat you.”

“If you beat me, that’s first place.”

“Jisung, you shouldn’t underestimate the power of your two uncles.”

“Yes, but as risky as derivatives investment is, the returns are also beyond imagination. They cannot be compared to the profits made by manipulating stock prices or building apartments or commercial buildings.”

I’m already using the foul play of my first uncle manipulating stock prices against my great-uncle.

I heard from my great-uncle that my second uncle met with the president of Samjeong Trading’s partner company for his son and carried out a bribery scheme right before the apartment construction.

‘The foul play that my great-uncle found out about.’

Wouldn’t my grandfather, the chairman of Samjeong Group, or President Kim Hak-soo not know?

‘He dug his own grave.’

To be exact, the cousins ​​entered the graves dug by their fathers without saying a word.

Ding dong, ding dong!

Just then the doorbell rang.

“It looks like Uncle Hyuk is here.”

I saw the front door of the apartment.

The housekeeper checked who rang the doorbell and saw me and my uncle.

“Sir, Mr. Jihyeong is here.”

Huh?

‘Why did big brother come all of a sudden?’

* * *

A room in a luxury apartment with a high level of intelligence.

“Wouldn’t your grandfather know if I won first place in the investment competition with your help?”

My eldest brother looked just like my father, but he was usually quiet.

‘In terms of personality, I resemble my father the most.’

He had no interest in family business at all. He always avoided his grandfather and liked to stay alone in his room. So he rarely played with me, but it wasn’t like my eldest brother only left me out and my second eldest brother only got close to me.

‘What should I say?’

Could you call him a voluntary reclusive loner?

When I lived in my grandfather’s mansion, I was really curious about what my eldest brother was doing in his room, but I didn’t check. Because everyone had their own life and the life they wanted to lead.

“Grandpa will know.”

“So what difference would it make if I got first place with your help?”

My brother is a sophomore in high school.

“so?”

“I really thought about it for a few days, and no matter how much I thought about it, I just felt that you and I were different, no. We couldn’t help but be different, that’s all.”

“only?”

“It’s just that I couldn’t let down my mother’s expectations and I never told anyone what I wanted. I thought my mother or grandfather would be disappointed if I told them what I wanted to do, so I didn’t have the courage.”

“Is it something that requires courage to do what you want to do?”

“Yeah, in that sense I was a coward. I wanted to say that I wanted to do what I wanted to do, like you.”

Through my eldest brother’s words, I concluded that he had no interest in group management.

‘You’re a chaebol.’

It must have taken courage for a fourth-generation chaebol, and the eldest son of the eldest son of the chaebol’s chairman, to reveal to the chaebol family that he has no interest in business and wants to do what he wants to do.

“I’m just worried about my mother.”

“What do you want to be, hyung? Why do you have to worry about your mother’s expectations?”

“Jisung, we were born into a wealthy family because we were lucky, so we had no choice but to become businessmen. That’s how we were raised and educated from a young age.”

Today I just realized that my eldest brother is so good at speaking.

Since we always liked to be alone, we never had time to talk to each other.

‘After the second ability is manifested.’

This is the first time we’ve seen each other’s faces and talked, not just in passing.

‘It’s certain that the eldest brother showed courage.’

Otherwise, you wouldn’t have come to me.

“So, what do you want to be?”

I really hate beating around the bush.

“Look at this.”

My eldest brother didn’t tell me what he wanted to be, but took out a notebook from his bag, and it was obvious that it was a music, no, composition notebook.

‘Why is this here?’

Are you the type of person who wants to be a musician?

“musician?”

“Composer. If I told my grandfather or mother that I was going to be a pop music composer, they would all hate it.”

“Father would like it.”

I had an idea that I might be able to connect my eldest brother with the record label I started.

“Yes, Father, you know what my dream is.”

“You knew it, but you didn’t object.”

“My father said that if I wanted to become a composer, I needed courage in this family.”

My father’s dream wasn’t to be a businessman either.

“Is this what you came to tell me?”

“I wish your intelligence would shine brighter so that Mother would give up on me. Then Mother would have no choice but to give up on me.”

“First brother, your dream is for you to achieve it, and I think you need to prepare and build up your justification to make that happen.”

“Prepare and build up your case?”

“I will help you in that process.”

“What process is necessary?”

My brother has ears too, so he knows that I’m showing everyone my genius.

“First of all, I think I need to study hard. I think I need to be in the top 0.1% in the country.”

“It’s not easy to be in the top 0.1% in the country academically.”

“It takes a lot of effort to make your dreams come true, I’m sure you’ve heard, hyung, but people call me a genius.”

“Yeah, I think you’re a genius.”

“I am a swan.”

“What are you talking about?”

“Swans float gracefully on the lake. People say they look like elegant nobles when they see them, but underwater, they have to move their webbed feet like crazy to stay afloat. That’s why swans are geniuses who work hard. So you have to work harder than swans. That’s how you can realize your dream.”

“You are really good at talking.”

“If I were to design my eldest brother’s life, it would be like I said at the beginning: maintain grades in the top 0.1% in the country and enter Berklee College of Music in the United States, not a domestic university.”

“Berkeley College of Music in the US?”

“And we need to brainwash everyone into thinking that the reason for going to music school is not to become a composer, but to understand the essence of cultural content, which is the center of future business.”

“The future-oriented business is cultural content?”

“Yes, I think so. For example, TV is hardware. TV itself is nothing. What’s important is what’s broadcasted on TV. What’s broadcasted is ultimately software. In order to dominate that kind of culture, we need to emphasize that we need to understand the essence.”

“You really seem different no matter what.”

“And if you study abroad in the US, you can be a little more free. Then, you can do the things you want to do more freely. You said you wanted to be a composer, but when you become a composer, you don’t necessarily have to use your real name.”

“It doesn’t have to be your real name?”

“That’s right, you can use a pseudonym. If you don’t want to use a pseudonym, you can use a special name that’s a little playful, like Samjeong-dong Tiger.”

“Huh, Samjeong-dong tiger?”

My eldest brother looked at me with a dumbfounded expression and asked me back.

“For example, that’s what it is. Just dress up the life you pursue as a business, and who knows? You might become the president of a cultural content group that goes beyond imagination.”

“Cultural content group? You connect everything to business.”

“My brother told me at first that you and I are different.”

“That’s right.”

“I think it’s the same when you run for your own dreams, so I’ll cheer you on and support you. So start by building a cause that can help your brother realize his dream. Don’t be a reclusive loner who ostracizes the rest of your family.”

“I’m ostracizing the whole family?”
