The Magician’s Memorial - Chapter 165

Episode 165 festival (4)

The CES event venue turned into a melting pot of excitement.

The iPad and iPhone S sufficiently satisfied the audience.

Therefore, the next product to appear was the audience watching with a relaxed mind.

[The last product I would like to introduce is a TV. Are you surprised to hear that Apple makes TVs? This may be true for a simple TV, but the TV made by Apple is a smart TV. Just as the iPhone was born in the mobile phone market, Apple TV was born in the TV market!]

A large LCD TV entered the stage.

The camera showed close-ups of various parts of the TV, and at that moment, the planning director exclaimed.

“Vice Chairman, Taewoo Group’s logo is stuck in the center of the Apple TV!”

“You are saying the obvious. “Since this is a TV made by Apple and Taewoo Electronics, the logos of both companies are naturally used.”

A TV with Apple’s logo and Taewoo Electronics’ logo.

Perhaps because it was announced before the iPad and iPhone, it already felt like an innovative TV.

[The official name is Apple-Taewoo TV. Taewoo Electronics’ technology and Apple’s innovation combined to create a completely new TV. This TV can play music, watch videos, and even browse the web. And it is also compatible with iPhone, iPad, and MacBook.]

Although the audience was satisfied with just the fact that it was compatible with Apple products.

Steve showed one more performance to help the audience understand.

[You often watch videos on your iPhone on the subway or bus, right? Then, when you get home, you can lie down on your bed, open your iPad, and continue watching the video you were watching on your iPhone. And if you go out to the living room and turn on the TV, you can continue watching.]

Steve laid down on the bed himself and even made an appearance sitting on the sofa watching TV.

[Apple will give you a perfect day!]

The presentation is finally over.

People responded enthusiastically, chanting Steve’s name.

After watching Steve leave the event, I turned off the TV.

“What time is it?”

“It’s 7:50 a.m.”

“There’s not much time left for the stock market to open.”

“I will check the Taewoo Electronics stock chart in real time.”

The planning director accessed the Taewoo Securities website on his laptop and displayed the Taewoo Electronics stock chart.

Meanwhile, time passed quickly, and the stock market began to move busily.

“Vice Chairman! Taewoo Electronics stock price has begun to rise steeply!”

“I like the CES event. “Having Steve introduce our products is much more effective than running dozens of TV commercials.”

It was a huge advertising effect.

It was Steve who became a prominent figure after the success of the iPhone.

His personal introduction of Apple-Taewoo TV was a tremendous promotional effect that even money could not buy.

“Vice Chairman! Taewoo Electronics has hit the upper price limit!”

The moment the head of planning raises his voice.

Knock knock! With a knock on the door, Woo Seong-il, president of Taewoo Electronics, entered the vice president’s office.

“Vice Chairman! “I was so anxious that I came before you even called.”

“Well done. What do you think is Apple-Taewoo TV’s response?”

“It’s an explosive response. “Taewoo Electronics stores are already receiving a lot of inquiries about purchasing Apple-Taewoo TVs!”

It was just the beginning.

Apple-Taewoo TV was available for purchase at Apple stores and Taewoo Electronics stores.

If that happened, sales of Taewoo Electronics’ other products would naturally increase.

“Now that Apple has decided to enter the Chinese and European markets in earnest, sales of Apple-Taewoo TVs will also skyrocket. “Please take care to avoid any disruption in supply.”

“Even if I have to stay at the factory 24 hours a day, I will make sure that production is maintained.”

We talked about Apple-Taewoo TV for a while.

We were able to laugh and chat because everything was perfect, from stock prices to products.

***

Some people are smiling though.

The head of Korea Exchange Bank, who was being investigated by the prosecutors’ office, was talking with the prosecutors in a gloomy state.

“The evidence that BIS was manipulated to a low level is so clear, so why are you showing your flippers?”

“I have never done any manipulation. There may be errors, but since the data submitted to the Financial Supervisory Service is this year’s Korea Exchange Bank BIS forecast data, errors are bound to occur. “If I’m not God, how can I accurately predict the future?”

As with all numbers.

If an error occurred in the denominator, the number changed by a large margin.

Since it was the prosecution that learned of the error in the denominator through an internal complaint, they persistently questioned the matter, but the president of Korea Exchange Bank never admitted to the charges.

The long battle lasted for several hours.

However, there was no further progress, and the prosecution could no longer hold the bank president.

“I will call you again soon. “If you do not respond to the summons, please be careful as the investigation may turn into an arrest investigation again.”

“You did a really good job. “I will faithfully respond to the investigation.”

The bank president was finally able to escape from the prosecutor’s office.

Although the investigation was finally able to be converted to a non-detention investigation with the help of a lawyer from a famous law firm.

There was no answer as to how to deal with the current situation, which was so complicated.

“Take a good rest today. I’ll see you tomorrow morning. “In this case, we can definitely get you acquitted, so don’t worry too much.”

“I will only trust the lawyer!”

It was the bank president who arrived home in the lawyer’s car.

All he wanted to do was take a shower and sleep, but he discovered that someone was waiting for him in front of the house.

“How can you do this!” What kind of face did you come to my house with? Team leader Lee Il-seop!”

Team leader Lee Il-seop of the Financial Supervisory Service was waiting for the bank president.

The person who created this situation by filing an internal complaint was Team Leader Lee Il-seop, and the bank president was furious and pointed a finger at him.

“Mr. Bank President, I would like to talk to you for a moment. “I came with a way for both me and the bank president to survive.”

“What are we talking about with you! And why am I dying? “You may be branded a traitor and have nowhere to go, but not me.”

“I have already gotten a job at an American financial company. “I was promised a higher salary than the bank president.”

Only then did the bank president stop pointing.

Until now, I had thought of Team Leader Lee Il-seop as just a fool with a crazy sense of justice.

But you got a job at an American financial company? And with a huge salary?

Now I see that Team Leader Lee Il-seop was a similar type of person, and if he was that kind of person, he was fully qualified to have a conversation.

“It was a fox pretending to be a bear. “I guess I blew the whistle not out of a sense of justice but based on instructions from behind the scenes.”

“Please tell us the details in a quiet place. “The vehicle has been prepared.”

A German-made luxury sedan slowly approached.

As soon as the bank president saw the car, he became confident in his guess.

If it was possible to move such a luxury vehicle, it was clear that Team Leader Lee Il-seop was behind it.

“Hmm, I’m very curious what kind of trick you’re hiding. “It doesn’t make sense, but let’s go together.”

“I can assure you that it will be a very good time.”

The luxury sedan left the outskirts of Seoul.

Only after entering the quiet villa did the car stop.

The bank president swallowed his saliva as he saw more than 10 bodyguards guarding the villa.

He thought that there might be someone who was much greater than he thought.

“CEO Younghan Lee? And what about the elders here?”

As soon as he entered inside, the bank president was astonished to see a familiar face.

The owner of Myeong-dong and the Myeong-dong Three, who hold a tight grip on the 3rd financial sector, were waiting for him inside the villa.

And there was also a foreigner he had never seen sitting in his master’s chair, looking down at him.

“You man! “You’ve grown old enough, so why are you bringing such hardship upon yourself?”

“There was nothing we could do to save Korea Exchange Bank. “If the Korea Exchange Bank collapses like this, another economic crisis may come to Korea.”

Grandma Baek touched the bank president’s hand as if she were her grandchild.

There was no one who worked at a bank who had not been to Myeong-dong at least once, and the more difficult the bank was, the more frequently they visited Myeong-dong.

“Stop talking like that and say hello to that person. “He is the one who will save your life, so you should greet him with courtesy.”

“Well, nice to meet you. “This is Lee Soo-hyun, the president of Korea Exchange Bank.”

“Since you work at Korea Exchange Bank, I can greet you in English, right? Nice to meet you. This is Dimon. “This is my first time seeing it in person, but it feels very familiar.”

Dimon knew Bank President Lee Soo-hyun very well.

Dimon was the person who controlled the current construction and semiconductor acquisition from behind the scenes.

This was because the representative of Hyunjae Group’s creditors was Korea Exchange Bank President Lee Soo-hyun.

The reason why Korea Exchange Bank became so difficult could be seen as the current group’s insolvency.

Dimon was also someone who made a significant contribution to the Korea Exchange Bank crisis.

“I’m sorry, but I think this is my first time meeting you.”

“Quite a few people on Wall Street know my name, but I guess the bank president hasn’t heard of me.”

“Are you by any chance Dimon, who was called the successor to Weil, who created CITI Group?”

Dimon frowned slightly.

It was because he heard the name of Weil, who had drawn him to Wall Street, but was upset.

But he also knew that Wale’s reputation was higher than his own.

CITI Group, created by Whale, has grown into one of the best financial companies in the United States.

Rather than narrowing the gap between himself and Wale, it has widened to the point where it cannot be compared.

However, we were able to regain our composure because we planned to gradually reduce the gap, starting with the acquisition of Korea Exchange Bank.

“I am the Dimon you mentioned.”

“I was very surprised to hear that the successor who could take over the world’s best bank suddenly disappeared.”

“He left before the creation of CITI Group, so he cannot be considered a successor. And even if he had stayed, there is no way he would have handed over CITI Group to me.”

Bank President Lee Soo-hyun’s behavior and tone of voice changed to become more polite.

Now that the successor to Weill, who created the world’s best bank, has appeared, he has no choice but to show a polite attitude.

“Then why did you ask to see me?”

“I heard you joined hands with Longstar. However, I heard that there is a high possibility that things will go so wrong that Longstar will even be stripped of its qualifications to take over Korea Exchange Bank.”

“I don’t know why such a rumor is going around. Unless you are Longstar, you cannot sell Korea Exchange Bank. Who would disqualify the sole bidder?”

“What if you’re not the only bidder?”

“Are you planning on participating in the Korea Exchange Bank bidding?”

Dimon responded with a smile.

He then pointed to the people in Myeong-dong and continued speaking.

“It is said that Longstar has a lot of assets, but I don’t think it will spend more than 1 trillion won to acquire Korea Exchange Bank. But we could use more money than that.”

“Have you decided to stay with Myeongdong?”

“It’s a bit strange to say we’re together. “Isn’t that right?”

Dimon said while looking at Younghan Lee.

Lee Young-han, the owner of Myeong-dong, bowed his head.

“If you want, Dimon, I will give you all of Myeongdong’s money.”

“Was it really Mr. Dimon who was behind Myeongdong?”

It was a play.

A play that makes it seem as if Dimon is the true owner of Myeong-dong.

Thanks to the excellent acting, Bank President Lee Soo-hyun was completely fooled by the play.
