◈ Episode 257 New Front (3)

The morning at Mega Asset Management was noisy.

It’s because of the whirlwind of Daehan Hydrogen Engineering.

Everyone’s mouth dropped open at the stock price of Daehan Hydrogen Engineering, which entered NASDAQ.

Since Daehan Hydrogen Engineering is a company with which the employees have invested since the days of Mega Partners, the employees had special feelings about it.

In particular, Nam Woon-myeong and Jeong Seon-yeong looked at the stock prices and became lost in thought for a while.

Mega Asset Management itself was a huge success, but the incentives that Nam Woon-myeong and Jeong Seon-yeong received were also enormous.

Nam Woon-myeong was already a conglomerate because Mega Asset Management was his, but Jeong Seon-yeong has joined the ranks of the rich in name and reality as of today.

Because the incentive she will receive from Daehan Hydrogen Engineering amounts to hundreds of billions of won.

“Wow! How much is this?”

Shin Cheol-ho’s mouth opened wide.

Investment success excites employees, and a company’s IPO, which means a return on investment, puts money in employees’ hands.

“Wow! What do I do!”

The smile never left Jeong Seon-yeong’s lips as the dreamlike reality finally arrived.

Han Hye-rin, who was passing by, came between the two.

“Incentive? How many luxury bags will there be this time?”

Han Hye-rin looked at the monitor with a slightly annoyed voice.

“It’s not a luxury bag, it’s a supercar…….”

Shin Cheol-ho corrected the items.

Han Hye-rin accepted it with an annoyed voice.

“Hmm, supercars… how many?”

“Hundreds of thousands…….”

“Hundreds?”

Han Hye-rin swayed her body.

Jeong Seon-yeong raised her voice as if boasting.

“This time it’s quite big. It looks like it could easily accommodate dozens of apartments in Gangnam.”

“Huh!”

Han Hye-rin, who had been staring blankly at the monitor for a while, suddenly looked at Shin Cheol-ho and smiled bashfully.

“Then, Mr. Cheol-ho, you’ll hit the jackpot too?”

Nam Woon-myung, who had been watching the conversation from behind, suddenly intervened.

“Cheol-ho has no incentives. At the time of the investment, he was not on our team, but on another team. And even after he came to our team, he was not in charge.”

“yes?”

Han Hye-rin looked back and forth between Nam Woon-myung and Shin Cheol-ho for a long time.

Shin Cheol-ho muttered while scratching his hair.

“When I was hired, I ended up applying to team 2 instead of team 3…….”

“Then there is no incentive at all?”

“Maybe a cup of coffee…….”

Han Hye-rin, who had an unusually disappointed expression on her face, asked Nam Woon-myung.

“Then what about Director Nam? How many apartments in Gangnam?”

“I don’t know because I haven’t calculated it.”

Actually, Nam Yun-myeong didn’t calculate it. He didn’t have any reason to buy an apartment anyway.

But the other person took it in a different way.

Jeong Seon-yeong quickly answered instead.

“Hundreds? Thousands, I think…….”

“Ugh!”

Han Hye-rin opened her mouth wide and seemed to have fainted, unable to come to her senses. However, her gaze would not leave Nam Woon-myung.

Han Hye-rin, who had barely managed to keep her dazed mind together, suddenly teased Nam Woon-myung in a voice full of aegyo.

“Mr. Destiny, buy me a meal.”

“The food at the staff cafeteria is delicious. Well, we had a company dinner there…….”

At the moment when Han Hye-rin’s expression suddenly darkened, Nam Woon-myung’s cell phone rang.

As Nam Woon-myung pressed the call button, a young foreign woman’s voice was heard.

[Fateful Man?]

Nam Woon-myung spoke to Han Hye-rin as if he was looking at her.

“A foreign woman called me to ask me to have dinner. Is it me? Who are you?”

[yes?]

“Ah! This is Director Nam Woon-myeong.”

Han Hye-rin sighed as she watched Nam Woon-myung disappear into the distance, holding his cell phone in his hand. She returned to her seat without even looking at Shin Cheol-ho.

Nam Yun-myeong received a phone call in the conference room.

Who would be the foreign woman who would call him like this?

[I met you in Silicon Valley.]

“Who, who are you?”

[Avery Grant, Vice President of KR Investment Group.]

Nam Woon-myung recalled a woman whose memory he had been vaguely familiar with. Perhaps the white woman who had been arguing with Yoon Se-bin when he met Asur in Silicon Valley? The vice president of KR Investment Group, a global private equity firm.

That day, this woman’s impression was not so great, despite her bright appearance.

“Ah! I remember. But what happened?”

[Is it true that Korea Asset Management and Mega Asset Management have mostly invested together so far?]

“Yes, but.”

[You also invested in CSK?]

“Yes.”

[So… … Shall we meet up sometime? If it’s KR Investment Group, wouldn’t it be a good partner for Mega Asset Management?]

I wondered what kind of proposal this was. KR Investment Group suddenly mentioned partners out of nowhere. If we take it as evidence that the status of Mega Asset Management has risen, then it is a welcome thing.

“It’s not hard to see, but I won’t be going on a business trip to the US for the time being.”

[Ah! I’m in Seoul right now. How about lunch today?]

I really had something to eat. Since the other party was KR Investment Group, I was curious about their intentions.

“Yeah.”

[Then would you like to come this way? I don’t know the geography of Seoul very well… … .]

Nam Yun-myeong made an appointment and ended the call.

My head was complicated. Up until now, I have not had any business connection with KR Investment Group.

As he was returning to his seat, wrapped up in his worries, Han Hye-rin nudged him.

“Mr. Destiny, what about dinner?”

“Oh! That foreign woman just now asked me to eat with her.”

“okay.”

Han Hye-rin sighed and returned to her seat with an extremely disappointed expression on her face.

Nam Woon-myung snickered as he watched her back. She seemed to have been flirting with Shin Cheol-ho all this time, but now she was approaching him. Well… … I understand the symbolism, but… … .

When Nam Woon-myeong turned to return to his seat, another woman blocked his way.

It was Yoon Se-bin.

“I guess you have plans to eat out with a girl?”

“yes?”

Nam Woon-myung flinched at the slightly tense voice.

Why did this woman come in at a time like this? The problem is that Korea Asset Management and Mega Asset Management are too close.

“Who are you?”

“Ah! I’m the Vice President of KR Investment Group.”

Yoon Se-bin frowned. It seemed like she was also concerned about that woman’s impression at that time.

“It’s pretty…… I wish it was nice.”

“Is this work?”

“Okay! Got it. Have a nice trip.”

Yoon Se-bin turned around, opened the glass door, and walked back with a stomping pace.

He must have stopped by the office for something, but I don’t know why he just went back.

I met Avery Grant at the HY Emerald Hotel restaurant in Euljiro.

Nam Woon-myung shook hands with Everly.

“Mr. Grant, nice to meet you.”

“Please call me Avery.”

“Ah! Avery. When did you come to Korea?”

“Last night.”

I think I called him as soon as I got there.

First, I ordered rice. Since it was a Korean restaurant, I ordered braised short ribs with yukgaejang.

Everly’s expression was bright and she looked in good spirits.

“Why did you suddenly ask to see me?”

“I want to get something to eat.”

Surely that’s the whole purpose.

It wasn’t something to rush, so Nam Woon-myung waited for her to speak.

After rambling on and on for a while, Everly finally brought up the topic.

“Isn’t the owner of Mega Asset Management CEO Yoon Se-bin?”

“yes?”

What kind of nonsense is this? Regardless of whether it’s true or not, I’m more curious about the reason for thinking that way.

“You don’t have to hide it. Anyone can guess that much. In the US, too, there are cases where a wealthy person hides his or her identity and operates multiple private equity funds. In any case, it increases stability compared to when there is only one.”

“that is…….”

“CEO Yoon Se-bin is the daughter of a famous Korean bank president, right? If it’s from that kind of family, then I’m not surprised that she has such wealth. I’m the same way. Of course, CEO Yoon doesn’t own 100% of Mega Asset Management’s shares. She probably has a considerable amount of shares, and her influence is also…….”

Avery mumbled something appropriately.

I think there was a serious misunderstanding, but since Yoon Se-bin owns 10% of the shares, it wasn’t wrong, so I didn’t bother to correct it.

“So why did you want to meet me?”

“When I looked into the investment history of Korea Asset Management, there was something that caught my eye. I heard they had a bad relationship with the Bukseong Group.”

“That’s impossible. I even took over the stake of the chairman of the Bukseong Group…….”

“Isn’t it true that you were manipulating the civil war of the Bukseong Group from behind the scenes?”

This woman also had a grasp of the essence of investment. If you consider Mega Asset Management to be a company similar to Korea Asset Management, then there is ample room to think so.

“So?”

“KR Investment Group is also interested in Bukseong. No, more than that… um… Mega Asset Management, and among them, they are interested in you.”

I couldn’t figure out why he suddenly became a topic of interest to the KR investment group.

“Are you a scout?”

“Ah! Will you come if I offer?”

Nam Yun-myeong slowly shook his head.

“I knew that. That’s why I suggested you as an investment partner first.”

Nam Woon-myung became increasingly curious about Everly’s true feelings.

You are interested in the Bukseong Group, you are interested in Korea Asset Management and Mega Asset Management, and lastly, you are interested in him.

“What kind of investment partner?”

“I analyzed it and it seems like we don’t have enough funds to fight the Bukseong Group head-on. That’s why KR Investment Group can help us. If we join forces, we can crush Bukseong with force.”

“Are you saying we should share the fruit?”

“If you accept a partner, you can give them more.”

I was still suspicious of her intentions.

However, even though it may not have been the case in the past, the Korea Asset Management Consortium is not short on funds these days. If necessary, they can mobilize CSK.

It’s not a bad suggestion, considering his goals. However, given the domestic sentiment that rejects foreign capital, the addition of KR Investment Group would do more harm than good.

“We’re not that close, are we?”

“The two of us can get to know each other slowly.”

Avery winked at him. It was the confidence that only a beauty can have.

“Did the negotiations with Ashur go well then?”

As Ashur appeared, Everly’s eyes shook noticeably.

Everly, who had been looking at him with somewhat resentful eyes, shook his head.

“That day was the first time I’ve ever been humiliated like that. Ashur had never been so cruel to me before, but that day I couldn’t even make a proper investment proposal and was kicked out. It was all because of CEO Yoon.”

“Why Representative Yoon?”

I wondered how much Everly knew.

“Anyway, I don’t get along with that woman. Anyway, how about I help you with the North Star Group’s operations?”

Nam Woon Myung refused because he judged that it was not a pure purpose no matter how positively he looked at it. Where can one find purity in a world where money is involved?

“It’s okay. I don’t need any help.”

“You’ll regret it, right?”

What is this out of the blue? I was confused as to whether it was a suggestion or an obligation.

“Will there be anything to regret?”

“The influence of the KR investment group is enormous. It is different from the small private equity funds in Korea. What if we support the opposing side of you? If we ally with the Bukseong Group, it will be more difficult for you?”

“What does that mean? Are they enemies or allies?”

“Depending on what you do.”

She was a complicated woman in many ways.

When you threaten in that way, you actually want to measure the power of the other party. How much power does one of the world’s leading private equity funds have?

“Have you eaten everything?”

“yes?”

“You’ve eaten all the meat. You’ve had enough.”

“ah!”

“Let’s get up now.”

Nam Yun-myeong woke up first.

Avery also got up with a puzzled expression.

“Would you like to buy me some coffee?”

“Coffee…you drink it alone.”

Nam Yun-myeong waved his hand and said goodbye.
