The president’s office of a shoe factory located in Incheon Namdong Industrial Complex.

“Are you going to make sneakers with the Italian clothing brand Willa’s brand name?”

The shoe factory president asked Director Park Seon with a bewildered expression.

“We are in the process of negotiating a trademark license agreement. We plan to establish Willa Korea through Willa.”

“Oh, but doesn’t Willa make sneakers?”

Even though he was the president of a shoe factory, he knew quite a bit.

“That’s why I want to suggest this to Willa.”

“I never thought that the Samjung Group would enter the shoe business.”

The idea of ​​intelligence is to use whatever is available.

CEO Park Sun also agreed with that.

“Samjung Group is not directly entering the shoe brand business.”

“If the eldest son-in-law of the Samjung Group takes the lead, we will advance.”

“That may be so, sir, let’s come to a conclusion now.”

“Conclusion, umm!”

Director Park Sun looked for a suitable shoe factory at Ji-seong’s request.

I had made an offer to sell the entire factory to the shoe factory owner.

“If you sell the factory, you will become a high-paying factory manager.”

“It’s just an ordinary factory. Why do you suddenly come and try to take it over?”

“It’s because of these shoes.”

The shoes on the table were made in this shoe factory.

“ah!”

“A special relationship with the Samjung Group was very satisfied with the design of these shoes.”

CEO Park Sun simply referred to Ji Sung as a special associate of the Samjung Group.

“Can you be so honest? If you do this, the prices of the factory and the company will inevitably go up.”

“We will purchase it at the most reasonable and satisfactory price. We are starting an acquisition business under the Samjung Group name, so we should not hear people say that we are beating up small and medium-sized businesses.”

“If that’s the case, give me 1 billion.”

“A billion?”

“Yes, if you give me 1 billion, I will transfer the factory and the company to you. And I will work as the factory manager.”

“I will give you 1 billion won on the condition that you will take on the role of the representative along with the factory manager. And the special relationship person said that if you don’t have even 1% of the company’s shares, you will just work like a servant, so I asked you to sign a contract so that you can maintain a 5% share.”

“Large companies don’t usually do this.”

“What the special relationship person is trying to do is not to become a regular large corporation.”

“yes?”

“There is something like that.”

[Uncle, I want to accumulate capital through business and investment and then become a tycoon with national power.]

Director Park Seon recalled what Ji Sung had said to him.

“I prepared the contract after having it reviewed by a law firm in advance.”

Director Park Seon handed over the contract to the shoe factory president.

“Really, you’re giving me a 5% stake.”

“Now, as you always have, you can work like the owner and grow Taean Yanghwa.”

“Yes, that’s right.”

The shoe factory owner signed the contract right away.

“Congratulations, President Choi Do-seong.”

“Sir, the cherry blossoms outside the factory are about to bloom. It looks like spring is finally coming to my life. Hahaha!”

Anyway, Ji-seong also established a shoe company called Taean Yanghwa through CEO Park Seon.

‘You already have three businesses.’

CEO Park Seon thought that Ji-seong’s business was progressing quickly.

Record agency practice room.

“yes?”

Han Tae-soo, the leader of the idol group, asked me with a shy and surprised expression. He was surprised at first by the fact that I was so young.

Now I’m surprised again by the suggestion I made.

“You can freely do whatever music you want to do with your debut, whatever music you pursue. The agency will not hold you back in any way and will actively support you.”

The person who was most surprised by what I said was Kim Dae-young, the president of the record label.

“Our largest shareholder.”

“Singers will be happy if they do the music they want to do. I think that’s how we can produce songs that will really be successful.”

“The largest shareholder clearly told me that he did not establish the agency for fun. He also said that he would leave the management of the record agency to me.”

“That’s right. I didn’t invest in the record label as a hobby. And the management of the record label will be managed by CEO Kim Dae-young.”

“But why did you decide to give this absurd special treatment to a rookie group without telling me in advance?”

In this regard, President Kim Dae-young seems to be a bit of a tough guy.

[Kim Dae-young, if you and I don’t agree, we should resolve it internally.]

I remembered what the president of Hanbando Records, the label that Kim Dae-young originally belonged to, had said to him.

“I’m sorry about that part, but then, aren’t singers and groups determined by their skills and box office success?”

“That’s true.”

“I bet that Han Tae-soo and the idol group will reach #1 on the top ten music charts within a month of their debut, and if they do, then Han Tae-soo and the idol will be able to do the music they want to do.”

“Mr. Major Shareholder, this is foul play.”

“yes?”

“I also want Han Tae-soo and Idol to win first place on music charts. I’m the CEO of a talent agency, so I can’t let that happen, right?”

“That’s right, in that sense, it’s unfair. But if you want to become number one in a short period of time like a whirlwind, you should let the singer do the music he or she wants. That’s what I think. Right?”

“Now that I hear it, that’s true.”

At my words, Han Tae-soo’s eyes began to sparkle.

“I made a bet. Hahaha, and Taesu hyung.”

“yes?”

When I was young, I called Han Tae-soo “Tae-soo hyung.”

“You’re my brother.”

“That’s true, though.”

“But there is a condition.”

“What are the conditions?”

“Yes, it’s a very simple condition.”

I turned my head and saw Manager Oh.

Manager Oh immediately took the shoes out of a large bag and placed them on the table.

“I will wear these shoes on all broadcasts and performances starting from my debut stage. And all the costumes must be products from Tae Wan Yanghwa, which I will soon establish. What do you want to do?”

“Is that okay?”

“Yes, that is the condition I demand of Taesu hyung.”

“I will do that. If I can only do the music I want to do, then I should do it.”

“Of course, the stage costume concept that we will wear will be produced to reflect as much as possible what Taesu hyung and the other hyungs have decided through a meeting.”

The shoes on the table now are made by the shoe factory that CEO Park Seon is trying to acquire.

[Contact Willa and ask to establish Willa Korea?]

[Yes, and we plan to conduct business by taking over the shoe factory I mentioned earlier, establishing Taean Yanghwa, and supplying new products to Willa Korea from Taean Yanghwa.]

[Everything is good, but why put Willa in the middle?]

[Because the domestic market for clothing and shoes is small. And other famous clothing brands would probably reject my offer, but I don’t think Willa would.]

[Okay, I’ll start by taking over that shoe factory and company.]

“Okay, I understand. As long as I can do the music I want to do, anything is fine.”

“This is why singers are deceived by management companies. They give them shoes and clothes to wear, and then they ask for money.”

“yes?”

“There is no such thing as a free lunch, and I have no intention of using other people’s rights for free. Mr. Oh.”

“Yes, this is a model contract that I prepared in advance.”

At Manager Oh’s words, both Taesoo Han and the idol’s mouths dropped open.

“First of all, since they are a rookie group, we have set the model contract fee appropriately. It is 10 million won. If they get first place on a music chart show, they will get 20 million won, and if they get first place for 5 consecutive weeks, the model contract fee will increase to 100 million won.”

Everyone froze as if they couldn’t believe what I said.

March 17, 1992, Taean Industrial Representative Director’s Office.

“Congratulations, Grandpa.”

I came to Taean Industrial Complex with my great-uncle, Mr. Park Seon, to buy a small pot of orchids to celebrate the opening of a small business.

“oh!”

My grandfather was impressed by the orchids I had in my possession.

‘Everyone has something they’re into.’

My maternal grandfather was a soldier his entire life, and his hobby was collecting orchids.

‘My maternal grandfather is an orchid.’

My grandfather drives a luxury car.

“Jisung, what is this?”

“My grandfather doesn’t see his grandson, he only sees orchids.”

“Hahaha, sorry. Come on, let’s sit down. Director Park Seon, please sit down too.”

“Yes, sir.”

Before I sat down, I carefully placed the hard-earned Hopi patterned orchid on my grandfather’s desk.

[Buy expensive orchids?]

[Yes, please.]

[Is this what you want to give to your maternal grandfather?]

[Taean Group will be officially established in a few days. We should give them an opening gift. I did some research and they say that hopi patterns are quite expensive.]

[Okay, your maternal grandfather is very interested in orchids, so this would be a good gift.]

That’s why I brought the Hopi patterned orchid.

“Now that you’re seated, I’m not your maternal grandfather, I’m the CEO of Taean Industrial, and Ji-seong is the largest shareholder of Taean Industrial.”

My grandfather will probably explain to me the process of establishing Taean Industrial Complex.

“Yes, sir.”

“Haha, I don’t know if I can do a good job as the representative, but I will report the progress to the highest shareholder.”

As soon as my grandfather sat down in the CEO position, his expression changed.

The way he talks to me has also changed significantly.

‘You are a person who clearly distinguishes between public and private life.’

So, now that the purged Hanahwe has taken over, he failed to become a four-star general in the Ministry of National Defense and ended his military career as a corps commander and the head of the Army Headquarters Planning and Coordination Office.

“First, we received an investment of 100 million dollars from Samjung Defense, which was established by Samjung Heavy Industries, and as a condition of receiving the investment, we transferred 10% of our shares. The owner of the transferred shares turned out to be the largest shareholder.”

“Yes, sir, it was given to me by the Chairman of Samjeong Group.”

Of course, CEO Park Seon paid gift tax to the National Tax Service at the par value of the stock issued by Taean Industrial.

“So, Taean Industrial’s capital has increased to 100 million dollars, and we have applied for an entry visa through the Russian consulate in South Korea.”

“You really move quickly.”

“That’s right, tomorrow, the Public Procurement Service officials and the Army Headquarters Planning and Coordination Office Director are scheduled to meet with General Yoon. General Yoon was my battalion commander when I was a regiment commander, but he’s already the Army Headquarters Planning and Coordination Office Director, hahaha!”

My maternal grandfather is using his connections to the fullest extent.

“That worked out really well.”

“I have already leaked a way to get $1.5 billion in Russian loans to the Minister of National Defense through General Yoon, so I will get in touch with you.”

If it was delivered to the Minister of National Defense, it will be reported to the Blue House soon. If that happens, there is a high possibility that the VIPs of the Blue House will come looking for my grandfather.

“Representative.”

“Please speak, Mr. Major Shareholder.”

“The core of all business is that Taean Industrial is at the center of mediating transactions between the South Korean and Russian governments. In addition, it must sign a contract with the Russian government as an export agent and with the South Korean government as an arms import agent to ensure that it receives a certain amount of commission related to arms exports and imports, and later, with the cooperation of the Russian government, it can manage and control the arms development engineers.”
