The Highest Level Son of a Chaebol Family - Chapter 408

408. There’s no one better suited for me! (1)
President Shim had a confused look on his face.
“Why are you putting me through this ordeal… …!”
“Why is this an ordeal? It’s just a chance to choose a good position.”
I smiled broadly.
“There is now another option to fulfill the dream of becoming Chairman of the Pants Association.”
These days, Japan’s financial industry is monopolizing the world’s market capitalization rankings.
The idea is to combine these Japanese financial companies into one and establish a financial holding company.
“If done well, I think the position of chairman of a financial holding company will be just as grand as the position of chairman of a Gulf company.”
I jumped up from my seat.
“Oh, by the way, you got a week of paid vacation starting today, right?”
I stuffed the thick envelope I had prepared in advance into President Shim’s suit pocket.
Because what I believed in was not words or actions, but money and documents.
It was my sincerity expressed through generosity.
“Then think carefully about it until the end of your vacation.”
* * *
Today is the day that President Shim was supposed to bring the answer.
‘What is this? I’m so nervous.’
That’s why.
I decided to focus on the task at hand to clear my mind.
“Your Majesty, sniff, sniff!”
It was too spicy to shout out loud, “Do you think I’ll give in to these onions!”
The five biggest names in the series were also shedding tears and snot next to me.
The teacher also blew his nose with a tissue.
“Oh my, it’s spicy, it’s spicy!”
“How many onions does this damn corner of the house want me to peel? They’re throwing me a whole bunch of onions!”
The rascal threw the onion nervously.
“I can’t do it! No, I won’t do it anymore!”
“The old lady in this house has really big hands. What kind of curry is she making in an extra-large pot?”
When Jongno Geumtooth spoke up, Ms. Bang of Kkachisan struck him with her elbow.
“Shh, be quiet! What if Granny Bear hears you and gets upset and says she’s going to fry some Jajangmyeon?”
The skunk in the southeast also looked at Mt. Magpie with envious eyes, tears streaming down his face.
“It would be nice to have a magpie sister. Some people peel onions, and some people peel potatoes.”
“Oh ho ho, did you know that red ginseng comes out when you dig the ground?”
Was it because of the red ginseng gift set that Mrs. Kkachisan Bang was able to peel potatoes by herself?
They say that the best way to apply oil to life is to apply it in advance, right?
Red ginseng was truly precious during this period.
“Hohoho, Master, are you really planning on giving me the business today?”
“Of course.”
Otherwise, why would I invite the five biggest names from the previous generation to my house… ?
“You didn’t mean to ask me for help with my summer homework?”
Of course, that’s also the reason!
I turned my head away, pretending not to know.
“They say that the Jeong family’s long-cherished wish was to advance into Yangji.”
“yes!”
“I’d like to discuss it with President Shim today.”
“Is it really necessary to do that?”
The teacher opened his mouth carefully.
“Sim Won-cheol, what is his relationship to our Jeong family?”
“Depending on whether or not President Shim is here, the difficulty level of the Jeong family’s future business will probably change.”
“yes?”
Everyone’s eyes widened.
“That’s hard to believe.”
The teacher tilted his head.
“I’ve heard that Shim Won-cheol is a management genius and a pillar of Taesung, but he doesn’t seem to be that great of a person.”
“That’s something you say without knowing the true value of President Shim.”
“Hoo.”
Everyone showed interest with shining eyes.
“Then, depending on what choice that man, Shim Won-cheol, makes this time and what role he takes on… … .”
“Does that mean a lot of things could change?”
Ding dong!
They say even a tiger will come if you call it.
President Shim has arrived.
“master.”
I was surprised.
“Why do you look like this?”
I clearly gave you a week of paid vacation to rest and think things through.
I even sent him a generous amount of vacation money, telling him to spend it generously.
I don’t know why it’s like this.
“The dark circles are really dark. What is this flaky skin? And these sunken eyes?”
“It’s no different than usual, right?”
“… … .”
I couldn’t refute it.
President Shim smiled bitterly.
“The only difference is that I usually stay up all night for a few days to do paperwork, and this time I stay up all night for a few days to think about it. After all, I’ve been up all night and struggling the same way.”
This side suffers physically, that side suffers mentally!
But it wasn’t something I really sympathized with.
I squinted my eyes.
“Isn’t that what you were given as paid vacation?”
“… … .”
You don’t have to make such a stinging face.
My nagging is just beginning.
“New Year’s Eve with your family! I told you to eat as much as you want, sleep as much as you want, and play as much as you want for a week, didn’t I?”
“You did.”
“I gave you a lot of vacation money so you could travel, go shopping, take pictures, and talk, didn’t I?”
“You gave it to me.”
“Then you shouldn’t have come back so exhausted. If you’re going to use up your vacation time, you might as well not have taken it.”
“……sorry.”
Mr. Shim scratched the back of his head, and I clicked my tongue.
“What on earth is this?”
“Is this a common choice?”
President Shim’s voice was solemn.
“Are you the president of JH Investment, the chairman of a financial holding company, or the chairman of Gulf? That is the question!”
A sigh followed.
“If I choose the position of the master’s first confidant, my dream of becoming the chairman of the board of directors will go away, and if I choose the dream of becoming the chairman of the board of directors, I will not be able to stay by the master’s side!”
President Shim groaned, holding his head.
“For honor or for profit, that is the question!”
“… … Among these, which position does not seek both honor and profit?”
“That’s the problem! The choices are all too good!”
“Even worries are sold.”
I shook my head.
President Shim looked around with aggrieved eyes.
“Do you think I’m the only one who’s worried? If you ask these people here, they’ll all give you the same answer.”
“Is that really so?”
Since we’re on the subject, I decided to ask.
“If you were Mr. Songolmae, which position would you choose among the positions of President of JH Investment, Chairman of a financial holding company, or Chairman of Gulf?”
“If it were me, I would choose the position of chairman of a financial holding company.”
The teacher shrugged his shoulders as if to say, “What’s so difficult about this?”
“Isn’t this a long-cherished project of the Jeong family? We should move into Yangji.”
“Did you see?”
It’s simple!
“… … .”
But President Shim’s eyes became even more aggrieved.
The eyes asked back, ‘That’s a special case!’
So I decided to ask again.
“What about you, Mr. Talkative?”
“Of course I would choose the position of President of JH Investment.”
The face of the man with the long, thin face was full of hidden agendas.
“If I can’t be a snake’s head, I’d rather be a dragon’s mouth!”
A talkative, talkative fool who was already properly stamped on by me once and was pushed to the youngest position among the big guns.
His eyes sparkled with greed and ambition.
It was the eyes of a gambler dreaming of a comeback.
“I want the position of Master’s first confidant! Please give it to me!”
“… … .”
President Shim’s face became pale.
His face looked like it had a lot to say, but I turned my head away and pretended not to notice.
“What about the old man with the golden teeth?”
“I am a lifesaver to my master!”
Jongno Geumtooth immediately got down on one knee and shouted loudly.
“I don’t care about the positions of President of JH Investment, Chairman of a financial holding company, or Chairman of Gulf! I’ll do whatever you tell me to do!”
“But if you had to choose just one?”
“I guess we’ll just draw lots and see what happens. Hahaha!”
“… … .”
A look of embarrassment began to spread across President Shim’s face.
“You decide such an important matter on such a day?”
“Does that matter? Whatever it is, it’s important that I help the master with his work!”
Jongno Geumtooth raised his voice in a resounding salute.
“I will be loyal until my skull splits. I am your master’s footstool!”
“… … .”
This time, not only President Shim, but I too was speechless.
Was this guy originally like this?
A quiet, bold, and tough man!
Where did the old man with the golden teeth I knew go?
“I’ve been the president of JH Investment, the chairman of a financial holding company, and the chairman of Gulf. Just give me the position of president of Nakamura Real Estate. Hohoho!”
Now the answer comes out before I even ask.
Following Ms. Kkachisan Bang, the skunk in the southeast also opened his mouth.
“I’ll be picky if I have to, but if I’m going to do it, I want to do something that will help Seongjun!”
The southeastern skunk stuck its belly out and roared loudly.
“Since Taesung has taken Yukong, I would like you to give me the position of Gulf President!”
It was an ambition whose purpose seemed very clear.
“I will steal Gulf’s assets and technology and use it as a stepping stone to grow Taesung Oil!”
“Did you see it?”
I looked back at President Shim.
“No matter what, everyone has a clear choice of what they want. There’s no rule that says you have to choose one of those three.”
“Eww!”
The more this happened, the deeper President Shim’s worries became.
President Shim, who had been writhing like a squid on charcoal, suddenly raised his head.
“Your Majesty, before you make your choice, may I ask you a few questions?”
“Okay. What are you curious about?”
“If I choose the position of Chairman of JH Investment, what will you do with the vacant position of President of JH Investment?”
Just then, Maljukgeori Maldaegae raised his hand.
“I, the talkative one, will do my best to assist you, my lord!”
“Hmm, that doesn’t seem like it would be easy.”
President Shim spoke bluntly and shook his head.
Of course, it would be impossible for a person with a bad temper to just sit still.
I got angry right away.
“No, why!”
“You’ll have to go through paperwork hell every day to keep up with your master’s pace. Can you handle it?”
“… … !”
An earthquake occurred in the eyes of the horse-headed man.
The little bastard asked just in case.
“By any chance, those boxes piled up like a mountain on one wall of the Myeongdong office… … .”
“Yes, boxes of documents.”
“Surely not all of that?”
“Of course. For reference, that amount should be handled within a day or two.”
“Don’t lie! A person is not a cow, how can you get rid of that in two days?”
President Shim was also furious.
“Do you see my dark circles as Xs?”
“… … !”
The little boy with the long beard looked back at me.
I nodded quietly, lending strength to President Shim’s words.
“Haa, it seems like the position of first lieutenant is hard to take on every day.”
The little rascal bowed his head deeply.
President Shim snorted in disbelief.
“There is no one better suited to be the CEO of JH Investment than me!”
“Okay.”
The little rascal nodded his head slowly.
President Shim was in high spirits for a while.
“Hahaha, haha, haa… … .”
He started groaning again, clutching his head with a face full of a headache.
Soon he raised his head with sharp eyes.
“Your Majesty, if I choose the position of President of JH Investment, what will happen to the positions of Chairman of the Financial Holding Company and Chairman of Gulf?”
Mr. Shim’s question was cautious.
“When the master first suggested the idea of establishing a financial holding company, I thought it would be my job to lay the foundation.”
That’s right.
I concretized the idea of establishing a financial holding company with President Shim in mind.
This is the person who, in his previous life, established a financial holding company by combining Taesung Securities, Taesung Life Insurance, and Taesung Card, thereby laying the foundation for the third generation of hereditary management rights.
“I guarantee you that not just anyone can do that.”
I know.
I have been known for a long time in the private loan business and corporate investment, but I never even dreamed of establishing a financial holding company.
It was not an easy task, not only in terms of legal and institutional issues, but also in terms of management and system construction.
“Have you taken the interest rates into account?”
President Shim’s eyes turned to the five big shots of the previous generation.
In particular, the eyes were hot on the teacher who confidently aimed for the position of chairman of a financial holding company.
“It is certain that they are all talented individuals who have been in charge of the Jeong family’s business and have run it steadily for a long time, but it will be difficult for them to fulfill the role of chairman of a financial holding company.”
