As I was leaving Angel, the phone rang.

Looking at the screen, it’s Hyun Ki-hyuk.

As soon as I got the call, he told me to come to his company.

Having seen it a while ago, I tilted my head and headed straight for H2K Partners.

“What’s going on?”

“I’m looking for a professional manager to save Magnetic.”

“uh?”

It’s faster than expected.

This means that magnetic acquisition is also fast.

“He’s German and a financial expert who ran Porsche well. But he’s not just good with money, so I think he’ll be a good link to European car companies.”

“That’s good. But is there a reason why you’re in such a hurry?”

“Default is almost certain. The Japanese government has internally decided not to do anything.”

“No, are you also aware of the Japanese government’s internal policy?”

“Yeah, one of my friends is well-informed about that.”

“Wow, you have good friends.”

“That’s right. I have a lot of good friends by my side. I’m always grateful for the abundance of blessings.”

Now that I think about it, old memories come to mind.

This gentleman lives in Suwon Yeongtong, and all of his friends and acquaintances live nearby.

‘Will Cheongdam-dong become like that later?’

I asked him casually, thinking that some of my acquaintances might be around me too.

“But from what I heard, you live in the same neighborhood as your friends?”

“That’s right. My friends, acquaintances, and relatives all live near my house.”

“Did you tell me to come?”

“At first, a few close friends moved in. But as I started hanging out with them, it became fun. Well, fun here doesn’t mean having fun or anything like that. Should I say that I could talk about ‘money’ all day?”

“money?”

“Ah, capital, capital. Everyone has a dream, but we also want to stand tall in the world with capital. At that time, we envied the advanced financial market, and we criticized our country’s backward system every day and butted our heads. As a result, we have developed quite a bit now. You, you may not be able to feel it because you entered this field late, but the financial system of the past and the present is completely different.”

I nodded.

To be honest, the gap between our country and advanced financial markets is still a reality.

However, the financiers who entered this market first tried to fix the system, and the situation has now narrowed significantly.

As a result, Hyun Ki-hyuk rose to first place in terms of domestic assets.

“Of course, some people see us as a financial cartel. I won’t deny it, but the term cartel is a bit harsh. We don’t discriminate against other investors. If we did, how could I have thought of being friendly with you?”

“Well, have you thought about becoming friends with me?”

“Of course. Of course, I first highly evaluated your abilities, and based on that, I thought that if we joined hands, we could change the financial system of the Republic of Korea to be more sound. Furthermore, I also have a strong desire to join hands in the wider world, even though it is now in Japan, and compete in good faith, sometimes ahead and sometimes behind.”

“yes…….”

As an apologist, the term “financial cartel” is actually derived from this man.

In our country’s financial world, people who graduated from the Ivy League and came from Wall Street eat together.

However, the people who made it more negative were the public officials of this country.

They drew lines and built walls.

‘The one behind me was this gentleman.’

Hyun Ki-hyuk doesn’t seem to have any intention of exerting any influence.

That is, as I just said, it seems like you are the type of person who judges people based on their abilities.

However, the problem was the cartel that backed this guy, Hogahowi.

‘I won’t live like that.’

If Hyun Ki-hyuk is the first generation of domestic private equity funds, I will build a new world as the second generation.

I take advantage of Hyun Ki-hyuk’s ability to judge people, and I boldly kick out the cartel that uses me to build a wall.

‘Okay, then should I really try to get all my people around?’

Of course, I won’t rush it.

If we do that, side effects will inevitably occur, so we will proceed slowly, one step at a time.

Until then, there’s still a lot to do.

‘First, we need to solve what’s right in front of us… ‘

After meeting Hyun Ki-hyuk, I moved to Dr. Carty.

Since Bae Jong-hyun and Lee Sung-yong came to my wedding, I had to bring them a keychain as a souvenir.

“Have you purchased your plane ticket?”

There were also things I had to confirm with both of them.

Dr. Carty’s NASDAQ listing is just around the corner.

“Yes, yes, I hung up.”

“What about you, sir?”

“me too.”

The faces of both people look bewildered, unable to contain their joy.

You could tell just by looking at him that he was not prepared.

Don’t prepare your mind,

“Do you have a Taegeukgi by any chance?”

“Taegeukgi?”

“Why is that… … ?”

“Why? If you want to ring the opening bell, you have to bring the Taegeukgi.”

“Huh? Really?”

“Oh, right. I think I heard that.”

It was fortunate that Lee Seong-yong was there instead of Bae Jong-hyeon, who knew nothing.

“It’s not necessary to hang the Taegeukgi, but it’s a kind of custom. It’s to let investors know our nationality.”

“Oh, I see. But is there any advantage to that?”

“It doesn’t have any immediate advantages, but it’s just to let people know which country it’s based in. I think you can think of it as providing information transparently.”

“Ah, yes… … .”

When I explained the meaning of the Taegeukgi to Bae Jong-hyun, who was a bit more bewildered, Lee Seong-yong suddenly intervened.

“When I happened to see the Taegeukgi flag going up on the U.S. stock market, I felt strange. It felt like it was proof that our country’s companies had grown a lot.”

“That’s right. The US stock market is much more demanding than ours. So the listing itself is something to be proud of. But this also affects those who invest in domestic companies. As you just mentioned, the technology and management of our companies are quite aligned with global standards. It can make them think like this.”

“Yes, I think so.”

“Eventually, as the number of such companies increases, domestic listed companies will soon receive proper evaluations. Then, undervalued companies among those currently listed will be given an opportunity.”

Lee Seong-yong nodded as if he understood.

In reality, the valuation of listed companies in our country is poor compared to their actual value.

There are several reasons, but the biggest one is that it is listed in South Korea.

Yet, when viewed from overseas, it is judged that Korean companies fall short of transparent or rational management.

Unlike before, it has been upgraded considerably.

So what if good companies continue to enter the U.S. stock market and succeed without any noise?

‘More investment will come in from overseas.’

I want that day to come sooner.

The last one today was Seunghoon Oh.

Since he came to my wedding, he should definitely get a keychain.

However, it seems that grumbling is inevitable.

“Tch, is a rich guy just a keychain?”

“If you don’t like it, give it back.”

“Okay. I’m going to attach the Mercedes key I gave you to this keychain.”

I chuckled.

This guy didn’t forget his bet.

“How are you doing?”

“This is not the time for me to worry. Haven’t you seen the news lately? Echo & F have even developed hydrogen extraction technology.”

“Oh, really? That’s good.”

“Huh? Are you pretending to be relaxed?”

“No. Even so, you are still no match for me. Think about it. Before the hydrogen extraction technology, what was the point of confirming the reserves?”

“Well… … .”

The guy delays his answer.

To be exact, I don’t want to do it.

So I did it.

“It’s an exploration robot, right? It’s from Daehyun Technology, which I invested in… … .”

“Hey, is that part of the bet too?”

“No, of course, that wasn’t invested with money received from the National Pension Service. But the AI ​​that serves as the robot’s brain was developed by Neo Open.”

“Well, I admit, the market still values ​​Echo & F more than Neo Open?”

“Even so, it’s just a matter of time before things turn around.”

“It may be a matter of time, but our bet is less than half a year away.”

Oh Seung-hoon’s voice is increasingly filled with confidence.

‘Yes, please, you win.’

Oh Seung-hoon misunderstood, but I truly wanted the guy to win.

Then, I can absorb the ‘±100’ shining in my right eye again and extend my life.

“Oh, there’s not much time left, let’s meet often.”

“Well, whatever. But the study was also interrupted… … .”

At this point, the expression on his face that had been full of confidence starts to look slightly off.

It seems like Choi Hoon-seop, who attempted coin fraud, came to mind.

By the way, after that incident, this guy’s O2 Partners received more employees.

It feels like they felt like something needed to change, so they filled the positions here and there with talented people.

“Study, I can start again anytime. It doesn’t have to be coins.”

“Huh? Really?”

“But the company is too far away.”

“Hey, there’s nothing I can do about it. You guys moved, right?”

That’s right.

Originally, the guy and I had an office in Yeouido, but when I acquired Togetherwork Korea, we moved into the building in Samseong-dong that I owned there.

“What did they say? It’s so far away that it’s really inconvenient to study.”

“Okay. Then, should I go next time?”

I guess you want to do it.

As soon as I bring up the topic of study, this is the reaction I get.

So the bait was thrown out.

“You too, and me too. There are more employees than before, so doesn’t the sight of us studying seem a bit leisurely?”

“Why are there so many private messages? What are you trying to say?”

“Just move near my house.”

“what?”

“Move near my house. Apartment prices in Cheongdam-dong have dropped a lot these days. But I think they’ll hit bottom soon and start rising.”

“Ah, let go, this kid… … .”

In fact, Seunghoon Oh was also born with a silver spoon in his mouth.

No, he is the son of former Financial Supervisory Service Chairman Oh Si-young, a key figure in the financial cartel.

Of course, I grew up without anything to envy, and the place I currently live is Ichon-dong, a wealthy neighborhood in Seoul.

The company and my house are also quite close.

I told that guy to move to Cheongdam-dong.

It was shameless, but there is a reason for everything.

‘My favorite restaurant is nearby… ‘

As I had decided earlier, I started putting this into practice first.

“Actually, there’s something I haven’t told you, but I’ve been getting to know Chairman Hyun Ki-hyuk lately.”

“Well, I heard that through rumors… … .”

When I heard the guy’s envious voice, I snickered and continued talking.

“Do you know that that gentleman has significantly changed the financial landscape of our country?”

“Oh, so that’s why? You’re bragging about being friends with that guy, or something?”

“Absolutely not. Then I’ll take over the baton and suggest to you that we change things.”

“what?”

“Should I say it twice? You already understood everything, right? Let’s become the next Hyun Ki-hyuk of the Republic of Korea.”

“… … !”

An earthquake occurs in Oh Seung-hoon’s eyes.
