Episode 110 The dot-com era (4)
The private loan business in Myeong-dong was a dark place.
However, it was legal to register as a loan business and place private loans.
Of course, taxes were incurred, but it had the advantage of being able to expand the small area called Myeong-dong to the entire country.
“Are you telling us to come out to the sunny area now?”
“You should advance into the 3rd financial sector. “With Japanese loan companies also entering the market, is there any reason why seniors can’t go out to sunny areas?”
“I will fight back. “If we go to the third financial sector, how much will the government interfere?”
Chairman Kang expressed his disapproval.
I knew very well why he was reacting this way.
Chairman Kang was a man who extremely disliked being associated with the government because the large company he was running was taken away by the government.
“The days of the military regime are over. “It is impossible for something like that to happen again, especially now that a lot of foreign capital has flowed in due to the foreign exchange crisis.”
“Hmm, even if that is the case, there is another problem. No matter how well-known we are in Myeong-dong, we don’t have enough funds to deal with Japanese moneylenders. And it’s not just companies that have suffered losses due to the foreign exchange crisis, it’s us too.”
I knew very well how much damage the loan sharks in Myeong-dong suffered in the aftermath of the foreign exchange crisis.
Because I was the one who made it happen.
In order to make Gwanghwamun Bear the owner of Myeong-dong, he handed over corporate bonds that were about to go bankrupt to them.
Of course, having suffered that amount of damage, there was bound to be a lack of money.
“I will appoint a person who can deal with Japanese loan companies.”
“Is there a Zhenju in Korea with that much money?”
“If it’s not in Korea, why not bring it in from abroad? Team Leader Park also brought money from Japan, so all we have to do is bring money from the United States.”
“What if it’s America?”
“I’ll connect you with an investment firm on Wall Street.”
The plan was to attach the SAVE investment company to the Myeongdong trio.
There was no need for a large amount of money.
Even if you add just a few trillion won, the Myeongdong trio’s ability would be enough to fight against Japanese loan companies.
“If we join hands with Wall Street, it’s a fight we have a good chance of winning.”
“You won’t stop betting because you don’t have enough money.”
“Hehe, but I have one fundamental question. Why should we join hands with you? “Isn’t the reason we were pushed out of Myeong-dong because of you?”
It was true.
I was the one who caused them enormous damage, and from their perspective, I was no different from their enemy.
“Chairman Lee of Gwanghwamun also did not start off on good terms with me. But we joined hands and achieved results. To be honest, I didn’t want to be involved in Myeongdong’s affairs anymore. But I couldn’t stand by and watch Myeongdong fall to Japan.”
“So, are you asking me to hold your hand?”
“I will never be the first to betray you. Because I live in a different world from you. “What better business partner than someone who doesn’t overlap?”
“Well, I never imagined that the sponsor of Gwanghwamun Bear would be the crown prince of the Taewoong Group.”
During the conversation, I confirmed the details of the three people.
The purpose was to see if anyone had joined hands with a Japanese loan company first.
Fortunately, no one has yet been linked to a Japanese loan company.
“What are you going to do? Would you like to join hands with me?”
“What exactly happens if I join hands with you?”
“You can hand over Myeong-dong to Gwanghwamun Chairman Lee’s grandson and move out to the sunny area. “I promise you that you can earn several times more than what you were earning in Myeongdong.”
“and? I don’t trust anyone who says they are trying to help in good faith. “Isn’t this what you’re offering because there’s something we want?”
What do I want from them?
When it comes to money, I have a reliable source of money called SAVE Investment Company.
Of course, you have to take care of what you need to take care of.
“We will share the shares of the financial company. “The seniors will each take 25%, and I will take the remaining 25%.”
“What about the shares of Wall Street investment companies?”
“I will share my share of Wall Street shares. And sometimes you can help me with something I ask of you. “We will ask for help when you need to lower the stock price of a company you want to acquire.”
“Are you going to leave the dirty work to us?”
“I won’t deny it. “If possible, I will ask you to do what is permitted within the bounds of the law.”
They were three people looking at each other.
Grandma Baek, who had been quiet until now, spoke out for the first time.
“I agree. We can’t have our share ripped off by the Japanese. Just say you guys do it too! If I don’t like it, I’ll do it all myself. “Either just turn it off.”
“If Grandma Baek does it, we should do it too.”
Baek Grandma from Myeongdong.
He was a loan shark who suffered the least from the foreign exchange crisis.
He was very careful and was famous for never opening his wallet to people he was not sure about.
“I will send someone soon. “We will prepare to enable you to run a third-tier financial company starting early next year.”
“In the meantime, we can just help Chairman Lee’s grandson, right? When was the last time you saw that little boy? “Did you see it once at the first birthday party and once at Chairman Lee’s 70th birthday party?”
“I don’t know if you remember our faces. Still, Chairman Lee’s grandson needs help, so I guess I should help him. “Even if it’s because of the Gwanghwamun bear.”
Lee Young-han has a reliable ally.
The three most famous people in Myeongdong also promised to support Lee Young-han.
For Lee Young-han, who was unable to properly expand his power due to the value of Team Leader Park’s name, he would be a more reliable supporter than Cheongunmanma.
***
That evening.
After meeting with the Myeongdong trio, I went to the hospital.
It was a visit to Lee Young-han, who had undergone surgery after being attacked by the Yakuza.
“It looks like hospital food suits your taste. “My face looks better.”
“I’m so sick that I’m going to die. “I was planning to go through the discharge process as soon as tomorrow.”
It was Lee Young-han, with a bandage wrapped around his abdomen.
It seemed amazing that he could smile even in this situation.
“Do you still have regrets about Myeongdong? “Don’t you feel like giving up after being stabbed in the stomach?”
“Now, don’t you look like someone who works in Myeongdong? I now have the will to change from sunny to completely shaded. “For me, it was like an injection, not a knife.”
“I almost wouldn’t have the honor of seeing Chairman Lee in the afterlife.”
“It’s late, but thank you. “If it weren’t for the bodyguards assigned by the headquarters manager, I would have really gone to see my grandfather.”
Lee Young-han’s will did not break at all.
On the contrary, he was burning with motivation and even seemed to have abandoned his attachment to his adopted child.
“Chairman Lee wanted you to be the CEO of an investment company rather than Myeong-dong. Is it really okay for you to take up a position in Myeong-dong?”
“I have completely abandoned any attachment to investment companies or the financial sector. Myeongdong is my hometown and where I belong.”
“If you promise that you are satisfied with Myeongdong, I can tell you how to become the owner of Myeongdong.”
“Of course I promise. “If I can just deal with Team Leader Park, Junsu Lee, and those rotten bastards, I can sell my soul to the devil.”
It was Lee Young-han who was excited.
Red was bleeding from his abdomen.
“Calm down and listen. The Myeongdong Three have decided to help you. “It will keep the loan sharks who followed them on your side.”
“When you say Myeongdong Three, do you mean the elders who stood shoulder to shoulder with their grandfather? Why are they me? Wouldn’t you rather aim for Myeong-dong, which has become Muju Gongsan?”
“They no longer have any regrets about Myeong-dong. “I told you how to get out to the sunny side.”
“So you’re saying that the shaded areas are for me and the sunny areas are for the elderly.”
“We have to keep each other’s territory clear so there is no conflict. “If I say later that I will go out to the sun for no reason, I will be in trouble.”
The human heart was like a reed.
Right now, I’m focusing on Myeongdong, but when my back gets warm and my stomach gets full, my thoughts tend to go somewhere else.
So I had to put up my short sword now.
If you turn your eyes to Yangji, you have to make it clear that you will have to deal with it, so they won’t think like that.
“I promise that I am satisfied with Myeongdong. “If I really want to go to Yangji, I will start a company in the United States, not Korea.”
“We won’t stop you from entering Wall Street.”
“After spending a few years in the U.S., I realized that the market size was incomparable. Why would you enter the Korean market with a place like that? “I want to keep Myeong-dong because it is my hometown.”
“I hope that feeling doesn’t change. Starting tomorrow, the Myeongdong trio will be with you. Take a confident walk around Myeongdong with them. Then, loan sharks will automatically come in.”
Myeongdong was the place where rumors spread the fastest in Korea.
It was said that if you wanted to learn about the Korean stock market, you had to go to Myeong-dong, and of course, what happened in Myeong-dong was bound to spread even faster.
***
next day.
Lee Young-han was discharged from the hospital with a bandage on and headed to Myeong-dong.
When he arrived at Myeong-dong, three black sedans followed him, and the Myeong-dong trio naturally got out of the car and approached Lee Young-han.
“Are you the grandson of the Gwanghwamun Bear? It looks like you can’t hide your bloodlines. “He looks exactly like Chairman Lee.”
“You bastard, lower your head. Should this old lady raise her head and look?”
“If you come back to Myeong-dong after getting stabbed in the stomach, your perseverance is not bad. What do you do? Not following along quickly.”
Chairman Kang made the first move.
He headed to an area he was familiar with.
The loan sharks who worked under him rushed out to greet him.
“Everyone knows, right? This is Gwanghwamun Bear’s grandson. “Please take good care of yourself.”
“Would it be possible? “It’s a request from the elder, so of course I have to do it.”
“Don’t get involved with Team Leader Park for no reason. A guy who betrayed once can’t betray a second time, right?”
“Are those rumors true? Are there rumors that Team Leader Park did that to Chairman Lee at Gwanghwamun?”
“So we’re helping this guy, aren’t we? “I sent the Gwanghwamun bear to the underworld, but I can’t send my grandson with him.”
Next, it was Grandma Baek’s turn.
Soon after, King Cash went around his area and introduced Lee Young-han to the loan sharks.
Of course, the news was delivered to Team Leader Park and Junsu Lee.
They even watched it from the roof of the building.
“Have the old folks become senile as a group? “Why are you doing this?”
“It seems that Director Kim Min-jae has made a move. “Otherwise, there is no reason for those people to come forward and help Younghan Lee.”
“So what did I say? They say we have to deal with Kim Min-jae first. “That bastard Lee Young-han is just a pants boss.”
“Hmm, maybe I should think again.”
“Chairman Kim Tae-joong will also understand. “He has experienced sending his children to the afterlife, so shouldn’t he also experience sending his grandchildren to the afterlife?”
Lee Junsu was already half crazy.
If something went wrong this time, there was nothing he couldn’t do because he was dead.
While Junsu Lee was expressing his anger, one of his subordinates hurriedly came up to the rooftop.
“We’re in big trouble!”
“What are you making a fuss about?”
“The Busan Prosecutor’s Office and the National Police Agency have declared war on crime. It is said that the Five Star Sect is already under attack.”
