254. Things I knew but couldn’t do – 3

(1)

The second call from Panyu Seong came when Kim Kyung-jin emphasized that Good Day Cam would also enter the waste battery industry.

“Should I accept the second one?”

Kim Kyung-jin smiled and answered Pan Yu-seong’s phone call.

“Hello? Oh, yes, yes, it’s been a while. How are you, Mr. Chairman? Yes? Do you have a headache? No, why······?”

I was asking something so obvious.

The current situation of Suwon ENC is dire, as it is unable to attract funds from anywhere.

“Oh, I didn’t know that. But why was the creditors so quiet? Oh, it’s because attention was focused elsewhere, but the media kept reporting on it.”

Now I had to hold back my laughter.

Recently, there have been articles published at least once a week saying that Suwon ENC will not be able to extend its debt.

‘This guy’s acting skills have improved.’

It’s an eternal truth that excellent acting skills help box office success.

“What time? Well, I’m busy with Good Day Cam these days. Yes? You’re coming here? Well, then, when······? Right now, even today? Yes? You’re nearby? Well, I understand. Haha······.”

Kim Kyung-jin hung up the phone and looked at me with an amused expression.

“I heard this person is nearby on another business?”

“Do you believe it?”

“No way. Since I didn’t answer the phone, he must have asked for my whereabouts. And then, knowing that I was here, he must have called me after he left.”

“Anyway, congratulations. I think it’s okay to adjust the takeover price now.”

“Yeah. I guess it’s fortunate that the real estate market hasn’t picked up yet.”

“Is there any hope for survival? Every year, 380,000 people die, and only 250,000 are born.”

“What? Are you a real estate crash advocate?”

“No, hahaha.”

I’m not a bear market advocate, but it seemed like the next surge was unlikely.

The new government is supporting stocks more than real estate, and if time passes like this, the possibility of an increase will decrease due to population.

In other words, there will be a gradual upward trend, but is it an asset market where it is difficult to make a lot of money through real estate like before?

“But, isn’t Good Day Group considering expanding overseas anyway?”

“Of course. Coincidentally, since we have developed a new BIM method, we plan to bid on it here and there.”

“Then you will go with us.”

Kim Kyung-jin nods his head at my words.

“Construction always requires the help of financial companies. Besides, if we were to acquire Susung E&C, wouldn’t you immediately become a creditor?”

That’s right.

When JTS Securities was a non-resident securities company, Lee Tae-soo was troubled by the Susung ENC PF problem.

In particular, it seems like the Good Day Group would really like to embrace Su-seong ENC, even though it hasn’t been resolved yet.

‘One way or another, I will continue my relationship with Good Day.’

(2)

After hearing all about Good Day Cam’s waste battery plan, I could not doubt Kim Kyung-jin’s ability.

‘Even used batteries are installed in lithium salt?’

If done well, it may even embrace the secondary battery theme and fly high.

What’s unfortunate is that this gentleman had one belief.

“I mean, I think the US-listed company is going in the right direction. So we won’t do a useless split listing.”

“Isn’t that amazing?”

“Is that so? Is this normal?”

“Well, in an abnormal world, normality is highly regarded.”

Kim Kyung-jin smiled and nodded.

“I was originally an abnormal person. But when I was dying from cancer, I realized a lot. I should live a normal life. That way, my name won’t be tarnished after I die.”

“ah······.”

I think I know what you mean.

No, I could understand what he said better than anyone else.

They say that when a person dies, he leaves behind a name.

Whether it would remain as wealth or as a good story depended on one’s actions during life.

‘I too was a monster created by capitalism.’

He didn’t do anything bad, but he didn’t even pay attention to things that didn’t make money.

Then, as he faced death, he gradually changed.

Of course, I worked hard to live up to the numbers that were shining in my right eye, but in the midst of that flow, I increasingly turned my gaze to the opposite direction of self-birth.

‘Yes. I should live like this gentleman.’

Live like this gentleman?

It doesn’t mean that even if I die tomorrow, I will remain a good person who will not tarnish my name.

Let’s just live without being rude.

And even if it doesn’t make money right away, let’s invest in things that will move the world in the right direction.

With this in mind, I naturally looked back at Do Chan-gyu’s Echo & F with interest.

“Gold hydrogen? No, why are there so many types of hydrogen?”

Because there was interest, questions also exploded.

As soon as I heard about another type of hydrogen, gold hydrogen, from Do Chan-gyu’s mouth today, I tilted my head.

“You know about white hydrogen, right?”

“I know. The things we discovered in Block 7 this time are called white hydrogen.”

“Yes, that’s right.”

There are three types of hydrogen that I know of.

Gray, green, and white.

These represent natural gas, renewable energy, and natural hydrogen, respectively.

But this guy is talking about gold again.

“As you know, coal-derived energy is brown, natural gas is gray, renewable energy is green, and nuclear energy is pink.”

“Wow, there are brown and pink ones too.”

“Oh, you didn’t know that. Yes, there is.”

“There are so many, so many. Do we even need to know how different they are?”

“Well, if you’re an expert, you need to know. And honestly, if you’re going to invest in energy, shouldn’t you study a little more? Oil also comes in many different types depending on how it’s refined.”

“but······.”

After reciting the types of hydrogen related to energy, Do Chan-gyu explained gold hydrogen in a rather serious voice.

“But I think gold can be seen as a sub-concept of white. In other words, natural hydrogen is white, and gold is mined from beneath depleted oil fields.”

“Really? No, then it doesn’t really matter to our country.”

“Yes, of course, because there are no genetic zones. Even if there were, there wouldn’t be any outside of Block 7.”

“So, are you developing it purely with an eye on overseas markets?”

“Yes. It’s the Neom City I mentioned before. We’re developing it with that in mind.”

Neom City, currently being promoted by Saudi Arabia’s crown prince, is questionable in its feasibility.

So, a huge amount of money goes into business expenses.

The amount announced so far is 700 trillion won.

What’s interesting is that the electricity that powers this Neom city doesn’t use a single fossil fuel.

Of course, the plan is to supply electricity through renewable energy sources such as solar and wind power, and if it is the gold hydrogen that this guy is talking about, then it is definitely possible.

When it comes to genetics, isn’t Saudi Arabia a country that is overflowing with it?

“I’m going to the Middle East soon.”

“Development comes first. Anyway, I will do my best to bring you good news.”

“Or so.”

Although he said it as if he didn’t care, his expectations were high.

As I head towards Saemangeum, an interesting picture comes to mind.

‘What if one day Goodday builds a building in Saudi Arabia and Eco & F provides power?’

Just imagining it brought a smile to my face.

Perhaps because we left a little later than expected, when we arrived it was time for dinner.

“You came at a good time. Chef Jeong has prepared five kinds of seafood dishes for you today.”

Surely it was for me.

It’s just that I got caught because I timed it well.

Another lucky guy is Kwak Hyun-woo.

“I thought I’d be able to eat well if I followed the CEO around. Hahaha.”

The seafood dishes that came out soon after.

The soup made with fresh mussels came first, and the oysters in soy sauce base, grilled crispy on top of the raw fish rice, whetted my appetite.

Next, I continued to eat the deep-flavored and flavorful steamed scallops, and finished off with the mackerel stew.

I don’t know about anything else, but I was happy just to be able to eat dishes that I commonly see around me so deliciously.

“Wow, look at that belly. I’m going to go home fat.”

“Isn’t it delicious?”

“Yeah. Did you put drugs in your cooking?”

“Hahaha, that’s ridiculous. Chef Jeong is really talented. He’s also the person I’m most looking forward to.”

“but······.”

Jeong Pyeong-ho is a chef who became famous after working at Samyang and Pyeongtaek.

He said that he had already been good at cooking, but that he had upgraded his skills at that time.

According to Kim Kyung-soo, there are quite a few cases where guests who have stayed once stay again because they want to eat his food.

“I think this will be our Good Day Hotel’s greatest weapon.”

“Yeah. It’s a shame it’s not in Seoul.”

“Don’t worry, my friend. Soon, I’ll be treating you to some great food in Seoul.”

“Okay, I’ll look forward to it. Please hurry up and bring it forward a bit.”

“Of course. Don’t you know me? I’ll make a splash with the Saemangeum Good Day Hotel this year, and then I’ll go to Jeju Island and then Seoul.”

You speak very well.

We haven’t even signed a contract for Jeju Island yet.

‘When on earth are you going to give me 100 days?’

I smacked my lips when I saw the ‘±100’ sparkling in my right eye.

Kim Kyung-soo has been around for a really long time.

After taking this photo in Jeju Island, I thought it would immediately extend my life by 100 days.

‘Well, it’s just a matter of time, I’ll sign a contract someday.’

The reason Jeju Island, which seemed like it would sign a contract even tomorrow, has become somewhat stagnant is because Good Day Group has withdrawn from the acquisition negotiations with Susung ENC.

If Kim Kyung-jin meets with Pan Yu-seong today and something is discussed, negotiations can resume.

So, will the Jeju Island hotel plans be put on hold again?

That night, Kim Kyung-jin called me personally.

“hello?”

– Oh, it’s me.

“Yes, yes, brother.”

I guess that’s why Kim Kyung-jin made this call himself.

‘I’m going to tell you about my meeting with Pan Yu-seong today.’

That’s actually the case.

– Chairman Pan has become gentle.

“He wasn’t originally a rough gentleman.”

– Oh, so should I say that I’ve let go of some of my greed? Or should I say that I’ve let go of a lot of it?

When I heard that story, I smiled broadly.

“How much did you call it?”

– 1.8 trillion.

“That means they’re only giving us a 200 billion won cut.”

– So I called 1.5 trillion.

“Will you accept it?”

– I told you to take your time and think about it.

“ha ha ha.”

Since I said that to someone who was busy, I thought I would hear from them soon.

– Anyway, that’s what I’m saying······. I think we’ll have to delay our listing plan again.

“all right.”

Originally, Good Day Group was still preparing for listing.

However, if Good Day were to take over Suwon ENC, it would be the equivalent of a backdoor listing, so there was no need to pursue it.

No, I think it should be completely wiped clean.

The next day······.

– Chairman Pan must have been in a hurry. He got another 1.5 trillion won. Hahaha.

Kim Kyung-jin’s pleasant laughter entered my ears.
