◈ Episode 250 Major League (4)
The owner of the club, whom we met again, couldn’t hide his look of defeat.
“Ugh, I never dreamed those two would cause trouble like this.”
A term referring to an infielder who took drugs and an outfielder who injured his wrist.
Since these two were key players for next season, the team’s season plan has been completely messed up. As a team owner, it’s bound to be a headache.
“I know you must be worried.”
“We have to fill the void left by those two somehow… but I can’t find anyone to bring in. Plus, the team’s image is in shambles because of the drugs. Ugh.”
Morne let out a long sigh.
At first glance, it may seem like a glamorous and fun position to be a club owner, but inside, it’s full of all kinds of stress. Players are doing whatever they want, and criticizing fans are even more burdensome.
It is not easy for the elderly Morne to handle it. So, he must have considered selling the club.
Morne asked, looking closely at the two people.
“Is the purchase price still the same?”
“Unfortunately, we do not have enough funds available at the moment. $2 billion is the limit.”
Choi Yong-muk asked for understanding.
Morne’s face darkened with disappointment.
The moment Morne asked to meet today, the upper hand in the negotiations was already decided. If he had no intention of selling, he would not have called.
“After you guys left, I looked into a team called the Hwayoung Dragons in Korea. There may be a big difference between the Korean professional baseball league and the major league, but I could tell that you are serious about running a baseball team. Honestly, the amount of money is not the issue. I want this baseball team to not disappear, but to continue to grow and become a prestigious team.”
“Yes.”
Of course, that’s what they say, but in reality, it’s a question of the transaction amount.
Anyway, Nam Yun-myeong responded with a janggu.
“I thought you guys would run the Angels well. That’s why I decided to sell it for any amount. There’s no guarantee that someone better than you guys will show up in the future.”
That means they’re going to sell it for 2 billion dollars.
The reason why the value suddenly dropped to $2 billion is because the original value, which was just over $2 billion, was drastically reduced due to the two’s accident. Also, the fact that the new owner has a mountain of work to do right away made now, during the off-season, the best time to do it.
Whatever the reason, wouldn’t it be better to buy it at the expected price? The issue of player supply comes next.
Morne held out his hand.
“Congratulations on becoming the club owner.”
The sale of the club must be approved by the Major League Baseball office. Since Chairman Choi Yong-mook has no special disqualifications, approval will not be difficult.
Choi Yong-muk held my hand and cheered. It was finally the moment when my dream came true.
Nam Yun-myeong congratulated him generously from the side.
At first glance, it seems like Morne was losing money on this deal, but it wasn’t. About 20 years ago, Morne bought the Angels for about $180 million. That’s an 11-fold increase in value to $2 billion in 20 years, so it was a great investment.
Nam Woon-myeong read the future of the Angels in the fate of Choi Yong-mook. Even after Choi Yong-mook takes over the club, the value of the club will continue to rise. It won’t be difficult if he gives a little advice.
The future is bright for the American sports industry as it continues to expand.
* * *
The $2 billion was raised from Choi Yong-mook’s personal assets as originally planned.
Although it is not a small amount of money, it is not an amount that Choi Yong-mook, the owner of Hwayoung Group, would have to worry about.
Nam Woon-myung left for Silicon Valley, leaving Choi Yong-mook, who was busy calling the staff in charge of the contract from Korea and explaining it to the reporters.
If you ask for advice on running the club, I can help you then. For now, Nam Woon-myung’s job is done.
Seon Yoon-ah was in the passenger seat of the rental car heading to Silicon Valley.
He doesn’t know why this woman is following him.
Seon Yu-ah said she would also help with the Vectorfly investment. Of course, high-ranking officials from Saudi Arabia and the UAE are scheduled to visit one after another, so it would be helpful to have at least one more person from this side.
Since it was already difficult for him to handle alone, he allowed her to accompany him.
While he was driving, Seon Yoon-ah searched the news on her phone and informed him of the situation.
“This is chaos!”
A major league team was acquired by a Korean conglomerate.
It was a truly eye-opening event for sports fans.
“But there are many people who complain that it’s the Angels and not the prestigious Dodgers. It’s an unfamiliar team with no Korean players.”
Among major league teams, the LA Dodgers are the team with the deepest ties to Korea, so it is impossible not to feel that way.
“There are also opinions that it will be easier for Hwayoung Dragons players to advance to the major leagues in the future. Most of the articles are positive. The fans like it too.”
If you are a baseball fan, you probably have had a dream like Yong-Muk Choi at least once.
Nam Woon-myeong paid his respects in his heart to Choi Yong-muk, who had achieved his dream.
It seemed like I understood why Assur runs more than a dozen football clubs around the world.
If he earns more money, he might buy a major league team or an EPL team. Or maybe he could realize his dream of sending humans to Mars like the Tesla CEO.
After all, you have to dream big.
After arriving in Silicon Valley, we had dinner and checked into the hotel.
They were each trying to get separate rooms, but Seon-yoon suggested that they all get one suite like before.
When I went on business trips with Yoon Se-bin, I didn’t feel particularly awkward because that’s how it usually was…
“I’m not a chaebol.”
How much does it cost for a two-room, four-bedroom suite for one night? It might not matter to Yoon Se-bin, who is born with a silver spoon in her mouth, but it’s a huge amount for him. It’s not like he has a lot of business trip expenses, either.
“Hmm? Do you know how much Mr. Unmyeong’s personal assets are?”
“Me? All I have is an apartment…….”
“The amount of personal stake held in Mega Asset Management is enormous. Do you know how much Mega Asset Management is currently worth?”
Honestly, I have never calculated it separately.
However, considering the current funds in operation and the rate of return on the invested business, its value is not small.
Due to the nature of mega asset management, there is a considerable amount of money invested by external LPs, but the value created by the unique rate of return is by no means small.
“Well, it’s not a listed company so I wouldn’t know…….”
“I did a quick calculation, and I think Unyul’s stake is at least as big as that of the chairman of a domestic conglomerate.”
“That many?”
On the contrary, Nam Woon-myung was so surprised that he couldn’t close his mouth.
“The value of Korea Asset Management is no less than that of Sebin. Sebin is already richer than Chairman Yoon Do-cheon and President Yoon Yi-baek combined.”
At first glance, it seemed correct, so I couldn’t bring myself to refute it.

I woke up and realized I was incredibly rich, but it didn’t feel real at all.
There isn’t much difference in his spending habits then or now.
Even now, the Bentley I received as a gift is gathering dust in the parking lot, and the small pleasures of life are a cup of coffee I take out on my way to work on the subway in the morning. My home is an apartment I bought with a lottery ticket.
The hardships he experienced when he lost his father made it impossible for him to look elsewhere. Up until now, his only interest had been in the Bukseong Group.
“I didn’t know.”
“So, spending this much is definitely not a waste.”
“Oh, that’s right.”
Yet, it is still difficult to feel rich.
I received the suite key and headed to my room.
Seon-yoon-ah spoke as they each took turns unpacking their bags in one section.
“You don’t think I’m doing this because Nam Woon-myung has a lot of money, do you?”
Of course I’ve never thought about it that way.
Sun Yoon Ah is not the type to make up her mind that way. She has strong self-esteem and a strong desire to be independent. She also has the ability to do so, so she is definitely not the type to live her life relying on a man.
“Of course.”
“Thank you for thinking so. Anyway, I also thought about Mr. Destiny when I got involved with Mr. Kirk in the Alps that day.”
I remembered the phone call that day.
“Actually, when I was asked out on a date by Dan Kirk, I was very shaken. But then I remembered that Mr. Destiny is good at reading people.”
“What did Kirk say?”
“Mega Asset Management employees are not allowed, but Korea Asset Management employees are okay.”
As expected, Kirk was able to accurately see through the gap.
“So I thought about what Mr. Destiny wanted from me.”
“What was it?”
“It felt like she was trying to keep me from getting involved with other men. She sent me to New York, and she kept me from getting involved with Kirk.”
Half right.
“Sometimes I wondered if that was because Destiny had feelings for me…… But looking back at what happened so far, that wasn’t necessarily the reason. Of course, it’s not that he doesn’t like me……”
This woman also has symptoms of self-indulgence… … .
It would have been a more perfect answer if you hadn’t added that ending.
“So I decided to live according to the natural order. I won’t lose anything if I listen to Unmyeon. Did I think well?”
“yes.”
“Anyway, thank you for offering to go on a date with me. Although today, it really became work instead of a date because of an uninvited guest.”
Sun Yoon Ah seemed to have found her own path. If she continues to work hard, she will play a huge role in Korea Asset Management. She will also influence Nora, and Mega Asset Management will develop along with her. She herself will live as a wealthy and influential person.
“You thought well.”
Nam Yunming was truly grateful.
It seemed like I would be able to treat her much more comfortably from now on.
Seon-yoon-ah spread out her work documents in the central living room.
“So… it’s just a one-day date, right? Let’s start by working hard together today.”
There is a lot of work piling up related to Vectorfly.
But it doesn’t seem like it’ll end here, as you can see the emphasis on one-day dates.
“And?”
“Hey, let me put on some water. It’s good for fatigue and skin beauty. Can you do that much for me?”
“yes?”
“Or do you really want to date in bed?”
I thought he would want something else, but he wanted the easiest thing. Naturally, he chose the acupuncture needle.
Since it was an unofficial visit by Saudi and UAE power figures, there was a lot to prepare for. Rather than preparing for formal ceremonies, we had to think about how to push the two into competition.
The two of them stayed up late at night making plans and finalizing the business plan they were going to propose.
Seon-yoon-ah, who was stretching, moved to the bed.
“Okay, now let me sleep. If I sleep, I’ll be able to sleep soundly until tomorrow, right?”
“Yes.”
Thanks to letting her go last time, Seon-yoon-ah had no hesitation at all.
Seon Yoon-ah asked while lying on the bed.
“You said that the more places you put it in, the better the effect?”
I remember that.
“Yes. But…….”
“Let go of everything you can. I want the best service.”
I demanded, staring at him with no change in expression whatsoever.
Only then did Nam Woon-myung notice her scheme.
“Oh, you can hold it in, right?”
“I’m really serious. Can you take this much? It hurts my pride. Are you going to do it again today?”
It looks like he won’t back down easily.
Of course, that doesn’t really matter, but still…
“Hmm, then let’s compromise. Let’s take two, not all of them. What do you think?”
Seon Yoon-ah, who had been glancing slightly, nodded as if she had no choice.
“You’re like my lord! I’ve been very considerate to you.”
It’s unclear whether this is the right compromise, but it’s an appropriate compromise.
Seon Yoon Ah seemed to have prepared herself well. Those two were gorgeous.
She lay comfortably in bed.
It was not easy to take his eyes off her, but Nam Woon-myung put all his heart into the needle.
After a while she fell asleep.
After today, she will grow up and become a more stable person. She will no longer have to worry about the scandal with Dan Kirk. Of course, her obsession with him will also decrease.
Nam Yunming looked at the beauty with her chins full of needles with an indifferent expression.
When I think back to the moment of my first meeting with her, it was an unexpected turn of events.
