239. Unicorns – 3

Song Jae-hwan contacted me again.

– Su-myeong-ah, as expected! I believed in you.

“Okay······.”

– Are you upset?

“omg······.”

Who do you think is a child?

They give you a disease that is clearly visible and try to give you medicine.

Of course I wasn’t upset, I wasn’t offended at all.

But I was worried that something similar might happen again next time, so I laid the groundwork.

“Your Majesty, how can we decide that we will only list in the Korean market? Everyone has different goals.”

– I know······.

“Yes, then, from now on, please refrain from interfering with the company’s management.”

– Oh my god, this is going to be a big problem······. When did I ever interfere?

“That’s right. You almost abused your power.”

– Su-myeong-ah······.

“I’m joking. I’m joking. Hahaha.”

I originally intended to make it more exciting, but seeing as you’re already lying face down, I figured I’d stop here.

However, it seems that this gentleman did not call because he was satisfied with the listing process of Sol Fashion.

– Oh, do you have time?

“Time? Why?”

– If we want to push through the policy well, we need to do a good campaign, right? I think you need to be the face of the story.

“Me? Hey······. If you do that, you’ll be labeled as a pro-government figure.”

– You were marked like that anyway.

“But it’s too blatant······.”

– You, don’t you want to solve the Korea Discount? You keep saying that all the time.

“Well······.”

This gentleman, after entering politics, became good at speaking.

Not only that, he spreads out what I said in the most appropriate places, leaving me unable to move.

“Ugh, what should I do?”

– First, I’m going to create two groups. The government will participate, but I think we’ll also need market participants.

From here on out, a rather lengthy explanation begins.

The first organization that the government is trying to create is an organization to resolve the Korea discount.

I could understand.

Every government says so on the surface, but in reality, its policies are implemented only for the sake of the elections.

After the election was over, the nickname “Korea Discount” appeared again in the domestic market.

This time it seemed like things would be a little different.

– We’ve defined the present as an exhibition, right? Think of it as creating a kind of Bibeonsa.

“Wow, that’s grand······.”

– Don’t take it as a joke.

“Okay, okay.”

– Anyway, I want you to be the face of Stand Up Korea.

You can think of it as the opposite concept of Stand Up Korea and Discount Korea.

In other words, it is a campaign term for the Korean stock market to receive my evaluation.

It went right into my ears.

Maybe your organization name is boring and you need a cooler campaign name.

– Oh, the name of the organization is the Shareholders’ Rights Protection Committee. Abbreviation: Sovereignty Committee.

“That···, who built it······?”

– That’s not important.

“yes······.”

– Okay, next.

“Yes? What else is there?”

– I told you before. There are two.

“ah······.”

The second organizational explanation begins shortly.

Now that I hear it, I’m drawn to this too.

– In short, it is a project to increase the number of unicorns by 10 times from the current number. It is an organization created for this purpose.

“Oh, that’s not bad.”

Since this gentleman and I have venture capitalist blood in our veins, we couldn’t help but become more interested in this.

step······,

– Yes. Our catchphrase is Unicorn Korea.

“······.”

What’s so similar about this?

“What is the group name?”

– Unicorn Investment Association

“Huh? The government is even going to invest?”

– Of course. But we invest in unicorns, but we also plan to invest in places that will become unicorns. So we’re planning to create an organizing committee, and you should be the chairman.

“omg······.”

I’m so busy, and this guy is thinking of manipulating me again.

But I can’t refuse.

– Life. I mean, I’m going to come into this dirty political world, cover myself in dirt, and create a foundation for the reevaluation of Korean stocks and the proper survival of unicorns. So, please help me out.

Since I’m asking you this seriously, I······.

“yes······.”

Although it was not very appealing, I had no choice but to agree to the offer to burn my body again.

I hang up the phone and take a deep breath.

“phew······.”

Life doesn’t always go as planned.

It was like that in the past, and it will probably be like that in the future.

today······.

‘This guy’s nose is really pierced······.’

『Government Launches Stand Up Korea Campaign!』

『Government to Create 100 Unicorn Companies!』

Media play is essential to get something done.

Although my name hasn’t come up yet, the organization seems to be moving quickly.

First of all, the Unicorn Investment Committee came first.

Due to its nature, the government and venture capital had to work together.

‘There are all kinds of places called Naero.’

Looking at the names of venture capitalists that have come into my hands over the past few days, most of them were familiar.

Among them was YPH Partners CEO Heo Young-pung, who was not on good terms with Song Jae-hwan.

No matter how bad his feelings are, how could he not stand up for an organization like this that pushes forward with the power of policy?

‘Wow, you want me to wear a higher hat than this guy?’

I have mixed feelings of anticipation and concern, but I’m not that worried.

After all, this organization is not there to invest in unicorns, it’s just there to help us execute government funds.

Instead, what anyone should be wary of is the desire to be invested in the unicorn or potential unicorn company they are investing in.

If we are not careful and head towards that kind of situation, the purpose of the unicorn company investment committee will be distorted.

‘Hey, I’m going to waste a lot of time again.’

This was giving me a headache, and another thing was waiting to catch me off guard.

Song Jae-hwan has requested that the Shareholders’ Rights Protection Committee, or simply the Sovereignty Committee, be formed again.

“No, why me? You’re not telling me to be the chairman of the committee or anything like that, are you?”

– Absolutely not. But this organization is a little different from the unicorn investment committee, right? It’s an organization comprised of government and market participants. Of course, there are representatives from institutions like you, and there are also representatives from individual investors.

“But?”

– A representative of a private investor strongly wanted you. He said that he needed an objective perspective like yours to form an organization.

“hmm······.”

I think I have a rough idea.

Ever since I started broadcasting on YouTube, I have been portrayed as someone who supports individual investors.

It’s only natural that individual investors want me as their representative.

however······.

– Do you know Mr. Ra Seok-myeong? He used to be the manager of the POSTECH shareholders’ solidarity cafe, but he’s taken off his shoes and stepped in this time.

“uh?”

Of course, it was someone I knew.

It shouldn’t be like this, but I remember it as a restaurant that extended my life.

‘That’s right, that guy has ±40 left.’

At that time, Ra Seok-myeong gave me 20 days by winning against the POSTECH short-selling force, and then ±40 was engraved, but I couldn’t get it because there was no contact.

So I said.

“Okay! When can I meet him?”

-······.

When I suddenly became proactive, there was a moment of awkward silence on the other end of the phone.

And then the conclusion was reached.

– Since you’re busy, I’ll call you and tell you to go.

“Yes, yes, I understand.”

After saying this, I hung up the phone.

‘Is it really necessary to wait for his call?’

I found Ra Seok-myeong’s contact information on my smartphone and immediately pressed the call button.

Then, saying that the time was okay, he summoned him to our office.

‘Okay, this is my chance to secure the 40 days I’ve been waiting for!’

For reference, my limited life span is 2,716 days.

I can live quite a long time now, so 40 days isn’t a lot, but······.

‘A little goes a long way. Yeah, that’s true.’

But it wasn’t 40 days, it was 80 days.

I forgot for a moment that I had doubled in size after meeting Bang Jeong-hyeon.

‘uh?’

After a while, I looked at the stone name and confirmed that it was ‘±80’······.

‘Can I just make it blink now?’

(3)

It’s been a long time. What have you been doing?

After exchanging greetings, I started to ask Ra Seok-myeong questions.

“By the way, shouldn’t we take this opportunity to set short-term and long-term goals for our Shareholder Rights Protection Committee?”

“Oh, of course.”

The terms short-term and long-term mean several things.

Among them, there must definitely be an 80-day mission that this person will give me.

So, slowly···, one by one···, I went through them.

No, I was going to do that, but it started sparkling from the beginning.

“Do you know about the recent news about the merger of Daejin Securities?”

“The merger of Daejin Securities?”

“To be exact, it is a merger of Daejin Data and Daejin Investment.”

“Oh, I can’t know all the news.”

In fact, the name Daejin Securities couldn’t help but bring back memories for me.

Because it’s my first job.

There were quite a few people from there in our company too.

Of course, Kwon Ji-young and Tak Jun-seok also brought people out······.

“For your information, Daejin Data is a listed company, while Daejin Investment is an unlisted company. The latter has a larger stake than the former, held by Gong Byung-ho, the son of founder Gong Min-bae. No, it’s overwhelming. Gong Byung-ho’s stake in Daejin Investment is 60%.”

“Well, I think I get the general idea. You mean the merger ratio is ridiculous?”

“Yes. Daejin Data is like a holding company that owns subsidiaries such as Daejin Securities. Its market capitalization is about 500 billion won. On the other hand, Daejin Investment has not made such successful investments. So, the market valuation is probably 100 billion won or so?”

“hmm······.”

“It’s even more absurd when you look at sales and operating profit. It’s a holding company, so it’s inevitably undervalued, but still, sales are a whopping 10 trillion won. Operating profit alone is over 1 trillion won. I don’t even need to mention Daejin Investment······.”

“Sales won’t even reach 50 billion, right?”

“Yes, but the merger ratio is crazy. They say it will be 1:0.5.”

“haha······.”

This is a method that almost allowed the group to be passed on to a successor through illegal means.

The son creates a new company, merges it with a larger subsidiary, and then merges again.

Eventually, he merges with the holding company that oversees the entire group and ascends to the throne.

I thought this trick, which is used by the number 1 company in terms of market capitalization in our country, would disappear over time······.

“Naturally, the stock price of Daejin Data is currently plummeting like crazy.”

I nodded.

It was as obvious as day.

It already seemed like the price was after the market cap had plummeted by 500 billion.

“So when I go into the shareholder rights committee, my first goal is simple. In any public company merger, the ratio of both parties has to be determined at market price. That’s it.”

I 100% agree and 1,000% support you.

I also spoke to him with strength in my eyes.

“Yes, let’s do it together.”
