249. Between Stability and Change – 1
(1)
A few days later, Kang Dae-ho came to visit.
“I feel like I’m going to suddenly become a fisherman.”
“Good.”
“What? Why are you reacting like this?”
“Why is this so? You always said, sir. That your dream was to become a civil servant.”
“Still, it’s like… For some reason, it feels like a rigged game of Go-Stop.”
“You can think about that yourself, but I think I need to think about how to fill Angel’s empty spot.”
Actually, you can choose either one.
Do you bring it in from within or bring it in from outside?
So I asked.
“How is it? Does Angel feel like the stagnant water is just getting more stagnant?”
“Aren’t you more objective than me? If you look from the inside, honestly, you can’t see much.”
“okay.”
“But don’t make too big of a change. There are already people who feel left out.”
“Yes, hahaha.”
I thought I knew what you meant.
Since I have been focusing on my business mainly through JTS Partners, it feels like angels have fallen out of my interest.
If this is how I am, what will it be like inside?
“If I may give you some advice, I think it’s really important who sits at the top. It was really different when my brother was there than when I was there.”
I nodded.
Although less so than me, Song Jae-hwan also has a challenging and enterprising personality.
On the other hand, Kang Dae-ho was a person who wanted to do better with what he had.
That’s why Song Jae-hwan’s Angel and Kang Dae-ho’s Angel were completely different.
While the former has somehow tried and pioneered new investments, the latter has been strengthening or reorganizing existing investments.
In short, the stagnant water of Angel is something that this gentleman brought upon himself.
“Anyway, please take care of me.”
“Yes, I will do my best.”
However, Kang Dae-ho, who had deep affection for Angel, looks into the sky with a longing look in his eyes.
His expression didn’t change until he got up from his seat.
Then, as if he had forgotten, he said something to me.
“Oh, that’s right. By the way, there’s a rule I’ve been working on, right?”
“Huh? Yeah, yeah.”
Kang Dae-ho, who ranked second in the bar exam, may have been the reason, but Angel’s private rules were evaluated as being close to perfect.
When I was making JTS’s rules, I almost copied them.
‘He told me not to touch it at all.’
My prediction was completely off.
“Throw it away.”
“Yes? No, why?”
“New wine must be put into new wineskins. When a new leader comes, there is no need to follow the old rules.”
“But isn’t it really a perfect private sector?”
“Well······.”
Kang Dae-ho, who had been chewing on something, shook his head.
“Actually, there is no need for private rules. There are laws in this country, so what would be needed?”
“haha···.”
“I guess I wanted to show off a bit when I was younger. I looked into it a while ago, and the content of the rules was too excessive.”
He paused here for a moment, then continued talking.
“Just within the boundaries of the law, you can contract with the employees. The same goes for the service regulations. The ones I made are too detailed. Because of that, there were restrictions on their actions. I think that’s the main reason why Angel has become stagnant water. So when a new CEO is appointed, throw away what I have and make it simple, concise, and comprehensive. Got it?”
“yes······.”
“Then, please take care of it.”
“I will do my best.”
Until you come back again.
I swallowed these words.
The world is unpredictable.
Song Jae-hwan, a person with an interest in politics.
So the chances of returning were close to zero.
However, it seemed likely that Kang Dae-ho would return after becoming the Financial Supervisory Service chairman.
‘At that time, please take care of the bigger angel.’
That evening, an article appeared.
『The new government’s first Financial Supervisory Service chief is likely to be Kang Dae-ho, CEO of Angel Investment』
(2)
The opposition party began to dig into Kang Dae-ho.
To be exact, the media close to the opposition party took a look.
In the process, we thoroughly looked into his Judicial Research and Training Institute class, his career as a lawyer, his first financial investment company record, and his achievements in angel investment after working on Wall Street.
The personnel verification required for public officials was also included.
Property, information and reputation, misconduct, etc.
‘Nothing much?’
I recently moved into our neighborhood, but this is even more of a mystery.
Instead of Apgujeong-dong, which has redevelopment potential, we came to Cheongdam-dong, where housing prices are unstable due to PF issues.
『The New Government’s Too Narrow Human Resources』
Eventually, it hit the other side.
『The new government’s four major financial leaders are all from Song Jae-hwan’s line?』
Of course, that’s not a fact.
The four major financial leaders mentioned by the media refer to the Chief Economic Officer, the Minister of Strategy and Finance, the Governor of the Bank of Korea, and the Chairman of the Financial Services Commission.
Three of them do not have a close relationship with Song Jae-hwan.
It was just that Song Jae-hwan had been in the financial world for a long time, so I was familiar with him.
Even the governor of the Bank of Korea was appointed by the previous government.
But they force it to fit.
『The four major financial leaders are representative friendly figures』
Friendship, that is, it was a coined word derived from the character ‘Seon’ of the surname of President Seon Dong-il.
It was ridiculous.
Originally, didn’t party politics mostly revolve around the leaders and their close friends?
Of course, there were factions within the party, such as the anti-government faction and the anti-government faction.
‘It was like that until yesterday, but today the media is turning it into a friendly situation.’
The Minister of Strategy and Finance is actually the person who was the brain behind other candidates within the party during Seon Dong-il’s candidacy.
I don’t know when he became friendly, but if the media says so, then so be it.
‘Well, the governor of the Bank of Korea was chosen by the previous government······.’
Ultimately, the reason for doing this is to oppose the appointment of Kang Dae-ho as the Financial Supervisory Service Governor.
Furthermore, it is to emphasize that the personnel affairs of this government are biased.
『The Seon Dong-il Government Controlled by the Financial Cartel』
It turns out that Song Jae-hwan, who was an outsider and heretic in the financial world, is now treated as an insider.
‘I hope you like it.’
There were even media outlets that sneakily included my name.
『One of the financial cartels that has become a recent trend was Jang Su-myeong of JTS Partners. It may be a case of the crow flying and the pear falling, but all the companies that Jang Su-myeong invested in have shown enormous investment returns···(omitted)···.』
It was absurd, but I read the article to the end.
And I burst out laughing at the part where Dr. Carty came out.
“You guys, Dr. Katy is listed on NASDAQ······.”
It seemed like they were going to claim that the American financial cartel was on the same side.
Yet some of the public was being deceived.
– I knew this would happen. I knew it when Jang Su-myeong started doing well.
– Cosplaying as a dirt spoon, it’s so gross! It’s all because they have a backer.
– Aren’t you going to search and seize? Clearly, there must have been bribes and requests involved.
– I’ve also heard stories of stock price manipulation. They’ve even been touching coins recently, so we need to investigate this.
But most of them cursed the media and some commenters.
– Did you get shot in the head? What kind of benefits did Dr. Carty get in the country······. Study, study.
– You’re crossing the line. How much effort has God Jang put into helping small investors?
– Those who spread malicious comments without any basis should all be punished.
– Everything is good, but don’t touch the mustard seeds.
I think there were some people who originally defended me, but half of them were probably supporters of the new government.
‘The opposite would also be true.’
They are also opposition supporters.
So, it is inevitable that there will be antipathy towards me, who is close to the new government.
‘Okay, I’ll understand with an open mind.’
At this point, I closed my smartphone and called the two people.
They were Jo Jeong-hwan and Choi Sang-soo.
“Okay, now we will begin the interview.”
I will promote one of them to be the next Angel Representative.
(3)
The two people had different personalities.
First of all, Judge Cho Jeong-hwan, who is a medical doctor, worked at Angel for a relatively short period of time.
Strictly speaking, I was his senior at work.
But what matters is which came first.
He was older than me, had studied better, and, above all, had a prudent and gentle personality, so I treated him as my senior.
As a result, I gained a lot.
I think that half of my success at Forte Bio from Angel was due to his advice.
Today, he showed great ambition.
“It’s no exaggeration to say that Forte Bio’s Phase 3 is almost certain. But I was the one who advised CEO Kang to increase his investment there.”
“Is that so? Hahaha.”
“Of course. What’s really unfortunate is that CEO Kang has to step down so early. If Forte Bio’s Phase 3 was approved, our CEO Jang would have definitely chosen me.”
“Well, that could be the case.”
When Jo Jeong-hwan, who had been cautious, came out like this, I asked with sparkling eyes.
“But even if that wasn’t the case, I had Director Cho in mind.”
“Oh, is that so?”
“Yes, I don’t know about anything else, but I think you have a really good insight into bio. You advised me on Forte Bio, and you even advised Dr. Carti.”
What I said was true.
Early on, when I heard the story of Bae Jong-Hyeon from Bio at Dr. Carti, it was Jo Jeong-Hwan who guaranteed the possibility of Kartib, a pancreatic cancer candidate.
“It feels good when you think of it that way, but somehow I feel like you’ve also realized my limitations.”
“Limit? Oh, maybe bio?”
“Yes. Jo Jeong-hwan is a bio expert. Therefore, if I become the CEO, I will only focus on bio.”
“I’m sure I’m not the only one who has that prejudice.”
“Well, that could be true. But you’ve never seen me study hard in other fields.”
These words seemed to indirectly express regret.
I guess it’s because I’ve only been at JTS, so I don’t know anything about what’s going on at Angel.
That’s why skinship is important.
If you stay at JTS, you will notice every move of the lower-level staff.
‘I feel a little sorry.’
Angel can’t even detect big changes in executives like Jo Jeong-hwan.
“I’m sorry to hear that.”
“If you’re sorry, please look at me as a candidate without any prejudice. At least I can invest more aggressively than Director Choi.”
“Yes, I understand. Hahaha.”
When I had said this roughly, I heard a signal from Kwak Hyeon-woo that Choi Sang-soo had arrived.
So I finished the interview with Jo Jeong-hwan and saw the second candidate, Choi Sang-soo.
‘This gentleman’s personality is definitely different.’
Unlike the cautious Jo Jeong-hwan, he always enjoyed speaking and acting boldly.
But today he says something unexpected again.
“You think I’ll invest aggressively? That’s all prejudice.”
“Is that so?”
“Then. At least I think that CEO Kang’s management is more rational than CEO Song’s. In fact, what kind of time is it now? High interest rates have been going on for a long time. But no matter how much of an investment company you are, if you increase leverage and make reckless investments, stability is bound to decrease.”
“but······.”
If I had to find something that was blunt in this conversation with this gentleman, it would be his evaluation of people.
He was also evaluating the two former representatives based on his own standards.
‘hmm······.’
That doesn’t mean I was wrong.
“Do you think interest rates will fall any time soon? Absolutely not. Inflation is a problem of its magnitude, and it is still ongoing. In that case, investing based on stability is the right answer for the current era. That’s what I think.”
