The Highest Level Son of a Chaebol Family - Chapter 409

409. There’s no one better suited for me! (2)

President Shim’s eyes were filled with worry and concern.

“The position of chairman is not something that ends with just doing a good job. It goes all the way to promotion to the working level.”

President Shim took out a pen and drew a boat in his notebook.

“Let me give you an example. Let’s say this ship is a company.”

It has a shape that roughly resembles a turtle ship.

“Wouldn’t a ship move forward if there were people who rowed diligently? Those who act as the hands and feet of a company and handle the work, that is, the crew, are the actual staff.”

Mr. Shim drew a supervisor behind the rowing sailors.

“To rise above that, another ability is needed: the ability to unite, manage, and command subordinate forces.”

Mr. Shim drew a whip on the supervisor’s hand.

“The first mate is the executive officer. He receives orders from the captain and directs the crew to make the ship go in one direction.”

President Shim looked back at the five big names from the previous generation.

They were the leaders of the five forces that supported the Jeong family.

Under the direction of Elder Jeong Dong-jin, each of them had a different area of ​​expertise.

“Then, the person in charge of this ship, the person with the highest authority, the person who decides the operation of the ship, that is, the captain, is the chairman, right?”

Mr. Shim added the captain wearing a skull cap to his notebook.

“Another ability is required from the captain who takes the helm.”

“What is that?”

“The ability to plan a course, steer a ship, observe the weather, and respond to crises.”

President Shim drew the direction as if he was looking at the sky.

“The captain can analyze the map and choose an appropriate course based on my location.”

Added reefs and islands, waves and currents, and wind and rain.

“You must be able to give accurate instructions by understanding the terrain, currents, sea surface conditions, etc. along the route, and respond appropriately to the constantly changing sea weather.”

President Shim thrust his notebook in as if to show it to me.

“It must be able to set short-term and long-term goals for the company, as well as suggest directions for organic cooperation between affiliates.”

“… … .”

“You must be able to adjust and balance the external environment of the company, that is, the relationship between the Japanese government and political and business circles.”

“… … .”

“You have to be able to use the mysterious powers and interests to create opportunities, expand your business, and secure big external business deals while also promoting your own interests.”

“… … .”

The five big names of the previous generation looked at each other.

It was an awkward face.

“Can you do it? No, this is something that the chairman absolutely has to do.”

President Shim had a meaningful look on his face.

“In short, is it the ability to plan well, negotiate well, and pick up the beans well?”

Without anyone saying anything, everyone shook their heads.

The five big names from the previous generation laughed bitterly.

It was the same for me.

‘If that were the case, would the bloody fight over succession have dragged on so long in my previous life?’

The five biggest names in the series were faithful to their respective roles and were busy growing their power and managing their business.

Thanks to that, I and Namsan Chargeomeori were able to grow up, so I guess I should say it’s fortunate.

‘hmm?’

Suddenly, I realized that not only the five big shots from the previous generation, but even President Shim were staring at me blankly.

Why? What? Why?

President Shim pointed at me with a small exclamation of admiration.

“I have a feeling that this is a field in which our master is exceptionally good.”

Nod nod.

“The art of gathering, incorporating, recruiting, inciting, detecting, plotting, arranging, inducing, and negotiating.”

Nod nod!

“Add to that bribery, intimidation, extortion, beatings, and robbing.”

Nodding, nodding, nodding!

No, these people?

When did I ever act so cruelly!

Just as my eyes narrowed, President Shim quickly cleared his throat.

“Then, shall we move on to more specific matters, Old Man Song?”

“Huh? Huh!”

The teacher who had been coveting the position of chairman of a financial holding company was shocked.

“How do you plan to handle the task of establishing a financial system and management structure?”

“… … .”

That’s something I’ve never done in my past life.

When I was considering launching a financial holding company, this was the reason I first considered President Shim as the right person for the job.

“You weren’t planning on just handling it as you would with Nakamura Real Estate, were you?”

“… … .”

The five biggest names in the series were unable to answer this time either.

The gaze of the judge was as hot as fire.

“We should not run the company as if we were collecting debts from private lenders or third-tier financial institutions. Our goal is to be reborn as a legitimate first-tier financial institution in Japan.”

“… … .”

“Therefore, we need to introduce a modern, advanced financial system and build a defense system that can respond to stock price volatility and manipulation caused by the oil shock under the supervision of financial authorities.”

“… … .”

The teacher averted his eyes and groaned.

“Where and how do you recruit and manage professionals who have been properly educated in banking, securities, insurance, and asset management, which are completely different fields within the same financial industry, and what goals are achieved…?”

As President Shim’s explanation became longer, everyone looked away with embarrassed expressions.

Finally, President Shim sighed softly.

“I’m going crazy.”

“You are amazing.”

The master raised both hands.

Then, President Shim raised both his fists.

“I knew there was no one better suited to be the chairman of a financial holding company than me!”

But President Shim was so proud again.

“Hahaha, haha, haa… … damn.”

President Shim grabbed his head again with a face that was astonished.

There was another problem.

President Shim looked back at me cautiously.

“Even if that’s the case for the financial holding company, what are you going to do about the position of Gulf CEO?”

A furrow formed between President Shim’s eyebrows.

“Gulf Sahara must play its most important role at this point in time.”

I know.

“Didn’t Taesung enter the oil refining business when it acquired Yukong?”

“The President is also paying close attention and showing great interest.”

“It is no exaggeration to say that Taesung Oil’s future depends on Gulf Oil.”

“Depending on how we build a cooperative relationship with Gulf Oil, the growth rate and influence of Taesung Oil will vary.”

“The Vice Chairman has already received a promise of $100 million in support from the Korean government, and the media is paying close attention to every move of our Taesung Oil Company and covering it in detail every day.”

Yukong was the best oil refinery company in South Korea.

That wasn’t all.

“The Saudi oil field development that I happened to obtain by chance and the development rights to the 7th mine that I recently acquired.”

“So this can only be achieved with the support of Gulf’s technology, human resources, facilities and funds?”

“As expected of you, my lord! You really do accept what I tell you!”

President Shim smiled faintly, his shoulders slumping.

“Your Majesty, what do you plan to do about the Kuwait oil field issue that Gulfsa has been pushing forward?”

“In alliance with Saudi Arabia.”

It was a solution that President Shim had already come up with.

I was thinking the same thing too.

“If necessary, we plan to form a tripartite alliance by including the United Arab Emirates.”

“To the United Arab Emirates?”

“Or should we tie up Iran and Iraq as well?”

“Is that okay?”

“Is there any reason why not?”

“… … !”

President Shim’s surprised eyes were short-lived.

The wrinkles between his eyebrows deepened further.

“What are your plans for Gulf’s restructuring and changes to its investment portfolio?”

The current Gulf state is unable to avoid a downward trend.

You can tell just by looking at how Gulfsa of the previous life went down the path of decline and where it was absorbed.

In short, it means that improving your constitution is urgent!

“If Gulf is planning to enter the petrochemical industry as another new business, who do you plan to work with and how do you plan to resolve this issue?”

President Shim’s eyes were once again fixed on a specific person.

“You’re not thinking of that guy who wanted to become the foundation of Taesung Oil, are you?”

The skunk in the southeast flinched.

President Shim’s eyes narrowed.

“If he becomes the chairman of Gulf, his top priorities will be deciding where to build a petrochemical plant, how much campaign money to give to whom, and how to secure cooperation with the U.S. government.”

“… … !”

“We need to hold a Gulf shareholders’ meeting to oust the current management, persuade shareholders, adjust dividends, reorganize assets, and present a direction for corporate management.”

“… … .”

“Do you have enough vision and career to present as a new professional manager?”

“… … .”

The skunk in the southeast closed its eyes quietly.

With your head bowed deeply.

President Shim looked up at the sky and let out a long sigh.

“Ha, in the end, I’m telling you that there’s no one better suited to be the Gulf President than me!”

The five big names of the previous generation nodded and shook their heads diligently.

A situation so overwhelming that no one can even object or raise an objection.

President Shim looked back at me, brushing away his dry skin.

“If I had three bodies, that would be fine, but how could I handle all this with just one body? The same goes for you, Master.”

It was a bitter remark directed at me.

“Do you know that I spent several days without sleeping, worrying about how to make myself rich and famous?”

It was a sad look.

“If I’m not there, who’s going to take care of all those things?”

“Of course I should do that.”

That’s a given.

Because it’s my business.

“Oh my, look at this! I’m so pissed… …!”

“Mr. Shim.”

I grabbed President Shim’s hand, who was about to hit my chest.

I gave you a week of paid vacation to rest, but why won’t the fountain pen ink marks disappear from your fingers?

What a foolish man!

“Of course, I can’t help you achieve even one of your dreams, Mr. Shim?”

I patted the back of President Shim’s hand.

“Don’t worry, just pick any seat you want. I’ll take care of the rest.”

President Shim’s eyes rippled violently like a paper boat floating in the waves.

I smiled and pointed at myself with my thumb.

“I have that level of ability.”

“… … .”

President Shim looked down at me without saying a word.

For a long time. Over and over again.

The five previous big shots of the Jeong family also waited quietly for his choice to be made.

President Shim moved his lips several times.

Finally, he made a decision that was unusually heartbreaking.

“I will remain by your side, my lord.”

That means… … .

“I want to dream of a future together with you, by being your closest and most loyal hand and foot.”

I thought that President Shim’s long-time dream was to become the president of Baji.

He ultimately chose to remain as the president of JH Investment.

I smiled broadly.

“You won’t regret it?”

“I have no regrets.”

President Shim smiled as if relieved.

“When I first received the offer to recruit you, your Majesty gave me three choices.”

Taesung Chemical, Taesung Oil Refinery, JH Investment.

“Then and now, my choice is the same. Once a JH, always a JH!”

“great!”

I really like that!

“Your Majesty, then the chairman of the financial holding company… …?”

“I think it would be good if President Shim took charge of it.”

“……yes?”

Why do you look so surprised?

“The new professional manager chosen by JH Investment, President Shim, is perfect for me, isn’t he?”

“Eww!”

“Please establish a solid system that will lay the foundation for the establishment of a financial holding company. I trust and leave it to you, Mr. Shim!”

“Then what about the position of President JH?”

“I guess we’ll have to treat it as a temporary vacancy.”

“… … !”

President Shim opened his mouth wide.

Then, with a face pale with shock, he stammered and added:

“You’re not really going to leave the Gulf Coast to me… … ?”

“of course!”

“… … !”

No, why are you doing this? Like an amateur.

“I already introduced Mr. Shim as the next chairman of Gulfsa in front of Mr. Warren Buffer, and now you’re trying to back out?”

“Huh!”

President Shim dropped his chin.

I drove a wedge into President Shim, who had his eyes tightly shut and turned pale.

“A word from a man is worth a thousand pieces of gold.”

When you become a man, you can’t say two things with your mouth.

“Then, when you are in the position of Gulf Chairman, what about the position of Chairman of a financial holding company?”

“There is a temporary vacancy, what’s the problem?”

“Oh my god!”

President Shim sat down with a thud.

“Look, medicine… …!”

I can promise you that with confidence.

“We will provide you with the best support anytime, anywhere!”

This is also worth a thousand words!

I winked one eye.

“I can definitely make your dream come true, Chairman Baji!”
