Omniscient Investment Point - Chapter 268

268 Separately, Together – 1

(1)

When we had somewhat wrapped up the conversation, I suggested to Bang Jeong-hyeon that they go meet Hyun Ki-hyeok.

He shook his head.

“You have your own work to do, and I have my own work to do. And it can be burdensome for an old man to constantly watch what the young man is doing.”

“I don’t think so… … .”

“There are others besides you.”

“Ugh… … Yes, I understand.”

In the end, it seems that Bang Jeong-hyeon will continue to run around diligently in places that are not visible and not by my side.

I was worried that I might be pushing myself too hard, so I couldn’t help but tell him to take care of his health several times when we broke up.

“You too. The words you heard from your older sister a long time ago keep lingering in your mind.”

“ah…….”

My mother-in-law, Grandma Cheongdam-dong, said that I had a condition that could lead to my death.

Strangely enough, when his expectations turned out to be wrong, he kept tilting his head and lamented that he was now old.

‘Actually, he predicted with chilling accuracy.’

My lifespan continues to increase thanks to my efforts.

Anyway, after hearing my mother-in-law’s story, this gentleman couldn’t help but worry about me.

“Okay. Then, let’s both take good care of ourselves. Let’s do that.”

“Okay. Hahaha.”

Bang Jeong-hyeon left with a cheerful smile.

With the thought that I might not see them again, I met Kwak Hyun-woo and Oh Seung-hoon after they finished eating.

However, as expected from the Chief Secretary, Kwak Hyun-woo thought it was his duty to keep his mouth shut, but Oh Seung-hoon was different.

“What on earth did you talk about when you met with the Japanese Prime Minister?”

“Of course it’s an economic issue.”

“Economic problems?”

“Yeah. It seems like Yamaguchi has high expectations of us.”

The expectation here was that I would speak well to the government so that we could jointly develop the hydrogen that will be mined in the future.

But it didn’t sound that way to Seunghoon Oh.

“Magnetic?”

“Well, including that.”

“Oh, there’s also Hinome Pharmaceuticals?”

“what…….”

“But you must be worried too. There was a big fuss about health functional foods in Japan not long ago, right?”

I nodded, smiling to myself.

In fact, the health functional food that Seunghoon Oh was talking about was red yeast.

I thought it was good, so I completely changed the subject to that.

“What on earth is red yeast? Do you know anything about it?”

“Of course I don’t know. People keep dying after taking health supplements with that ingredient in them?”

Kwak Hyun-woo, who had kept his mouth shut, also joined in around this area.

“Yes, to be exact, it is presumed that he died from kidney disease or something. The damage is increasing. However, the health functional food sold at Hinomei is a completely different type.”

“Hey, but it’s not like there was no impact at all, right?”

“No. It is certified by the Ministry of Health and Welfare, so it is recommended by doctors.”

“I see.”

After hearing Kwak Hyun-woo’s answer, Oh Seung-hoon nodded.

A word that is casually brought out while doing so.

“Then, while I’m at it, should I invest in Hinome Pharmaceuticals too?”

“Are you okay? There was also a problem with the health functional food?”

“Hinome Pharmaceuticals said there was no damage?”

“No way. It’s just our passionate chief secretary’s opinion. But I heard that it didn’t sell for a while, but it’s picking up again.”

What I said was true.

Cordyceps sinensis, the best-selling product from Hinome Pharmaceutical, was not related to red yeast, but was temporarily avoided by consumers because it was tied to a health functional food.

He was recovering now.

Moreover, as the market share of anti-inflammatory and liver disease drugs increased, Hinome’s sales and profits became much more stable.

I haven’t said anything yet, but Seunghoon Oh has already been investigating.

“But I heard that eye disease medicine sold better? In Japan, Hinome’s eye disease medicine is said to be the best.”

“Well, it was originally the best.”

“I saw a news article that liver disease drugs are also competing for 1st and 2nd place.”

“Oh, that’s not it. It’s just a specific area, and it’s still a long way off.”

“You’re so honest. Could it be that my investment is not that good?”

“No way. The more money a company has, the better. Okay. Let’s take care of the Magnetic thing, and then stop by Hinome Pharmaceuticals.”

“Huh? Really?”

“Yeah, Inma.”

The conversation got a bit long.

Now it’s time to meet Hyun Ki-hyuk.

The time has also come to finalize the main contract with him.

‘I’m a little excited.’

Was it because the size of the magnet was different from that of Hinome Pharmaceutical?

I feel a little bit excited.

Hyun Ki-hyuk arrived around dinnertime as scheduled.

“You met the Prime Minister?”

“How did you know?”

“There are so many people who know.”

This gentleman also had considerable connections in Japanese politics and government.

‘But isn’t it too sloppy?’

Maybe the Prime Minister’s Office deliberately leaked it to Hyun Ki-hyuk?

I don’t know why, but I had a feeling it was like that.

But this gentleman proves it right away.

“The Prime Minister’s Office seems to want me to leak information to them so that I can join forces with them to bring a breath of fresh air to the Japanese economy.”

“haha…….”

You’re not even a Korean, and you’re expecting that from a foreigner?

After thinking about it carefully, it wasn’t impossible.

If the sports equipment determines that there is accumulated water inside, it is filled from the outside.

This is called mercenary, and every time this happens, there is fierce competition between the inside and the outside.

However, if things go badly, it could become a catalyst for factional strife, but if things go well, the national economy could turn in a completely new direction.

“Do you know how hard Japan has struggled to escape deflation over the past 30 years?”

“I know.”

“That’s why the Prime Minister declared this time. He will build a ‘new capitalism’ where growth and distribution will be in a virtuous cycle by increasing the wages of vulnerable workers.”

It was a logic I had heard somewhere.

The following content is the same.

“At the same time, we will work hard to support the stock price.”

“Then we will need help from foreign capital.”

“Yes. Just like us.”

I nodded and thought about Prime Minister Yamaguchi whom I met today.

‘That gentleman is quite reformative.’

I’m curious.

Reform naturally encounters resistance.

In particular, the vested interests are desperately trying to do their best.

So how will Yamaguchi deal with the experienced and destructive counterattack of the stagnant waters within Japan?

“Okay, let’s talk about our story. Let’s look at it all tonight.”

Just as I was moving into the stream of consciousness, Hyun Ki-hyuk gave me a thick booklet.

‘You want me to watch this all night?’

Does that mean I shouldn’t sleep?

“all right.”

Still, I accepted the booklet and answered without a word.

Hyun Ki-hyuk smiles strangely.

(3)

After reading the content, I realized that it was not a dry corporate analysis or outlook after the acquisition.

Of course, there is some such content, but should we say that it basically represents the overall situation in Japan?

Moreover.

‘You wrote it yourself.’

It seemed like Chairman Hyun Ki-hyuk had written the content himself while typing on the keyboard and bound it into a booklet.

― I was really surprised when I saw that the Nikkei stock index in Japan surpassed 39,000 for the first time in about 34 years, breaking the historical high. After that, when it broke the 40,000 mark, I felt both envious and a sense of crisis. Our country’s economy was chasing Japan’s, but at some point, its economic growth rate also began to fall behind.

That’s right.

I am also worried that we are repeating Japan’s recession, which we do not necessarily need to follow.

― So, will the worst-case scenario unfold before our eyes? That is, a scene where we see the Japanese economy recovering with envious eyes and feel our own sinking? I don’t think so. Although it is regrettable that we are not able to overtake Japan right away, Japan’s growth is absolutely not bad for us.

This was unexpected.

Through several conversations, I came to know that this gentleman’s goal in life was to overcome Japan.

‘but…….’

Any Korean would like to beat Japan.

However, just like in soccer or Japan, it is refreshing to win through friendly competition.

In this situation where both countries are developing, a healthy competition to see who can jump higher and further is desirable.

The growth rates of both countries are staggering, but Japan is doing worse, so somehow we are surpassing it.

If you are from our country, no one would feel that refreshed.

The subsequent content also included that part.

― Ultimately, the recent surge in the Japanese stock market reflects the increase in profits of Japanese companies over the past several years. This is because the profits of large export companies have improved as the value of the yen has fallen since about 10 years ago. Conversely, we should note that the value of our won has also fallen, but profits have not improved. The answer is not defined in a word, nor can it be defined. It may be simple, or it may be complicated. However, unless we enter Japan and experience it ourselves, we will never find the answer. In that sense, I have been looking into entering Japan for several years, and finally joined hands with JTS Partners last year… (continued)… .

All of these writings can be called Hyun Ki-hyuk’s reflections or determination.

By the time I finished reading, it was past three in the morning.

I chuckled.

‘This guy is on fire too.’

Hyun Ki-hyuk seemed to be a person who was originally good at writing.

Then, when he entered the financial investment industry, where he had to work with his head rather than his heart, he must have suppressed and suppressed his desires.

That part was also glimpsed in the current article.

In the past, when I expressed myself verbally, it might have felt like I was ‘anti-Japanese,’ but now I mainly use restrained expressions that logically have no choice but to advance into Japan.

But that doesn’t mean I couldn’t read his desires.

‘You spoke well at the right time.’

Moreover, this article gave me a lot to think about.

I think he told me to read it to the end to make sure I didn’t offend Korean or Japanese sentiments in my youthful spirit.

‘Okay. I’ll be more careful with what I say from now on.’

With this determination, I lay down in bed.

Close your eyes and try to fall asleep.

The path to the magnetic that confirms the main contract.

“Did you read it all?”

“I read it.”

“What did you feel?”

I smiled and answered Hyun Ki-hyeok, who even asked for a book review.

“In a word, apart and together. Isn’t that it?”

“Oh~”

Hyun Ki-hyuk raises his thumb as if he has properly understood the point.

And then, ask another question.

“In that sense, what about the acquisition of magnetic?”

“A Touchstone for a Competitive or Partnership Relationship between Korea and Japan?”

“Hahaha, I have nothing to say.”

Competitive and accommodating.

It was a slightly different expression, but there was no expression that described today’s departure better.

No matter what anyone says, the history of the past must be resolved.

I hope that Japan, not Korea, will first sincerely apologize and then take the time and effort to resolve the issue.

This is the minimum prerequisite.

Then, we must join hands and become the central axis of the world economy.

If that happens, Japan can become our exit to the ocean, and Korea can become Japan’s entrance to the continent.

‘Will that day ever come?’

It won’t be easy, but maybe now is the perfect opportunity…
