Episode 100: Bush Beer Acquisition Negotiations (2)
“I guess you have a lot of cash in your hand, so you have some money to spare.”
“Isn’t that the case with all liquor companies? Enheiser Busch also has a large cash reserve in the company. It also pays out sufficient dividends every year, so most shareholders seem satisfied.”
“Even if it’s difficult, we have to resolve it through dialogue. If they fell for it right away after we made the first offer, wouldn’t there be a reason to sell it?”
“The reason for the stake sale is a succession issue. Major shareholder Roger Klemberin is getting older and is stepping down from the front line, and he wants to sell the stake inherited by his descendants.”
“How much is that person’s stake?”
“I owned 28% of the total shares. This time, I will transfer the shares of other shareholders who want to sell all at once. That’s a total of 51%.”
“So they’re saying they’re getting together to sell it at a high price.”
“you’re right.”
“Please continue to operate the negotiation team and focus on M&A.”

I saw Jeongyeon and Jamie’s faces for the first time in a long time on the private plane heading to Seoul.
Both of their faces were covered in fatigue as they were busy shooting a movie in progress.
It was my grandfather’s birthday, so it was my first trip to Seoul in a long time. As soon as Jamie got on the plane, he went straight to his bedroom to sleep.
“Is the movie work going well?”
Jeongyeon responded indifferently to what I said.
“That’s just it. We’re filming according to schedule, so I think we can finish filming by August. Jamie pushed himself a little bit to go to Seoul.”
“Did you pull it out in advance and take the picture?”
“Yeah, so you must be really tired. You were taking pictures before you got here.”
“I heard you were worried a lot because this was your first work, director?”
“Director Richard is doing a great job. He’s funny and not typical of British people. He was the screenwriter for the Bean series.”
“That British comedy drama that hits the mark?”
I heard that director Richard Curtis used to work as a screenwriter, but I couldn’t remember which film it was.
“Anyway, the director is an interesting person. He thinks in novel ways.”
If the director you’re working with is weird, it can be very difficult for the actor while filming. Last time we were filming, Jamie had a really hard time because of the director.
This time, on the contrary, even though my body was tired, my mind seemed at ease.
“Brother, you should be worried. Jamie is really close with the male protagonist. Peter is handsome.”
Actors react sensitively to the emotions felt by their characters while filming a movie. When filming a love movie, the main characters fall in love because the actors have a weak ability to control their emotions.
If you believe that the feelings you feel while filming are real, you will start dating each other. However, fake feelings cannot last long. When the film ends and you wake up from the dream, the couple will face a breakup.
Jamie was specially trained to handle these situations.
And there was also a psychological stability method that I taught separately.
Anyway, it was said that there was absolutely no way that would happen.
“Really? Jamie didn’t say anything. I told him to tell me in advance if he liked someone else. I told him in advance that if he changed his mind, it would be better to tell him quickly and sort things out, but he didn’t say anything.”
Seeing my indifferent appearance, Jeongyeon shut her mouth, perhaps thinking that teasing me any longer would be useless.
My younger sister was still immature and couldn’t tell what to say and what not to say.
As the plane took off, Jeongyeon said she was tired and went to sleep, so I was left alone.
Outside the window, it was pitch black and dark.
The song of French singer Julien Klee lingered in my ears.
In such a quiet time, I had to listen to music to relax my mind. I dimmed the lights and let the music take over my body.
I’m so sorry
How to touch me
Come on we are all
Alors si douces
Like that in two
(Sometimes it’s so sweet when life touches me It’s so sweet for all of us Sometimes it’s so hard…….)
[Master, the time of arrival is drawing near.]
I must have been very tired. I just got on the private plane, had a glass of wine, listened to music, and fell asleep, but 12 hours had passed in a flash.
Because I was so soundly asleep, no one woke me up. As we neared our arrival, Ariel woke me up.
“How long until landing?”
[Arriving in Seoul in 30 minutes.]
“I get it.”
As I sat up, the airplane lights brightened.
A familiar-looking flight attendant approached.
“You were sleeping so deeply that I didn’t wake you up.”
“Good job. How far did you fly?”
“We will arrive at Incheon Airport in 30 minutes. Would you like something light to eat?”
I wasn’t very hungry.
“No, I just want a cup of coffee. What about everyone else?”
“Both of you are staying in the guest room.”
I drank the coffee the flight attendant brought and moved around to wake up from the remaining sleep.
After a good night’s sleep, I felt much lighter.
After a while, Jeongyeon and Jamie appeared with clean faces.
I passed through the VIP gate lightly and ran to Seoul. Before I knew it, dawn was coming to an end and the sky was getting darker.
“How long will it be this time?”
“I guess I’ll have to stay for a week. Since it’s been a while since I’ve been in Korea, I’ll have to take a look around the businesses and there’ll probably be a line of people waiting to meet me.”
It was good that I fled to the US to avoid the presidential election, but there were many people waiting for me as a backlash.
Jamie asked with a bright expression.
“Having a lot of money isn’t necessarily a good thing.”
“It’s always like that.”
While the two were talking, Jeongyeon, who was sitting in front, crawled in.
“You’re talking like a rich person. You’re both rich, so that’s why you’re talking like that. You have to be poor to talk like that.”
“Just focus on what’s ahead.”
“I’m not driving. Why should I care about what’s ahead, Mr. Driver?”
“Driver, think about your age.”
The person driving was a member of the security team. He looked awkward, caught in the middle of the siblings bickering. There was something else I was curious about.
“I haven’t seen Team Leader Oh lately. Where did he go?”
“I came to Korea first. It will be difficult to see your face for a while.”
I thought I knew why without having to say anything.
There was even word that Team Leader Oh, who had been in charge of me in the US, had been hastily summoned. It was a sign that the domestic situation was becoming more and more chaotic.
When I got home, it was bright and sunny.
“mom!”
When Jeongyeon got out of the car and the door opened, she ran to her mother and hugged her. Jamie followed suit, hugging her mother and kissing her on the cheek, shaking with joy.
I just stood there blankly, watching the three people’s reunion.
“What about father?”
“That person has already gone to work. I don’t know if it’s because he’s so diligent or because he’s losing sleep as he gets older, but these days he goes to work very early in the morning.”
There were three people causing a ruckus in the garden.
“Oh my, let’s not do this here. Let’s go inside.”
Jeongyeon, who was holding her mother’s hand, acted cute.
“Mom, I’m hungry. Give me some food.”
“You didn’t eat anything on the plane?”
“I fell asleep as soon as I got on the train and couldn’t eat anything.”
“Oh my, there are other people like that too?”
“It’s the same. You know, my brother’s private jet? It’s so comfortable that it doesn’t feel like an airplane.”
“Yeah, even to me it feels like a hotel.”
I thought the conversation would be too long, so I held my mother’s hand and went inside.
The table was full, as if they had already prepared it.
“You prepared a lot?”
“I worked hard last night because you guys were coming. I just warmed it up this morning.”
I could feel my mother’s heart even without her saying a word.
I was hungry anyway.
He ate all the food on the table without leaving a trace.
Jeongyeon and Jamie were hungry like me and ate in a combative manner.
When I was full, I drank a cup of tea. As I took a sip of the hot black tea, the tension that had been building up seemed to melt away.
“So how long are you guys going to be here?”
“I have a lot to do in Korea, so I guess I’ll have to stay for at least a week?”
“Are you going to stay here? What are you going to do because the house is too small? Should I move to a bigger house?”
“Mom, why is my brother here? He clearly has a house in Seoul.”
“Oh, right, that’s right. I forget how old I am. But it’s still nice to be together.”
She was a regretful mother.
“Mom, I’ll come and go often. Yongwon might be busy with work, but I’m on vacation for the time being.”
His mother’s face brightened at Jamie’s words.
“I see. Okay, let’s go together often.”
“Hey, where are you going without me? It’s going to be a real pain to go with Jamie.”
“Hey, don’t say things you don’t know. You should hide it well and go around.”
“That would be great. When Jamie shows up, people will flock like clouds.”
Jeongyeon was upset that she was being left out, so she started grumbling and received a back-smashing lesson from her mother.
“Oh my gosh, how old am I and you still hit me on the back like a kid?”
Jeongyeon complained, touching her back as if the spot she was hit hurt.
“You still haven’t come to your senses and are acting like a child!”
“Ugh, I’m not going to play with Mom. I’m going to play with Little Mom.”
“Okay. I’ll play with Jamie without you.”
My mother’s eyes sparkled with anticipation.
“Mom! This is really going to happen. I’m really going to get upset!”
“Okay, sometimes you and your aunt will play until you’re full of shit, leaving me out, but I’m going to go out and play with my daughter-in-law.”
“Eight, Mom, you were mad at me because of that before.”
When three women gathered together, it wasn’t just the plates that broke, but also the chaos.
I quietly got up and went out of the house. The three people were busy chatting without me knowing I was leaving.
I went to my grandfather’s house.
My grandfather still hadn’t left for work and was sitting in the living room. I took off my shoes and sat down next to him.
“Grandpa, I’m here.”
“Yeah, so you’re here. Did you come alone?”
He looked behind me and saw that I was the only one there, and his face looked disappointed.
“Jeongyeon and Jamie are too busy talking to their mother. Grandpa is going to work, so I came alone just in case.”
“Would you like a cup of tea?”
“I’ve already eaten and had a drink, so I don’t have any thoughts.”
“Okay, then let’s sit down and talk.”
“Why is your face like that? You seem to have a lot on your mind.”
“You idiot, you’re giving me a headache because I’m worrying about the homework you gave me.”
“Oh, that one?”
“Yes, is there one or two cases where business people have ruined their companies by being distracted by politics?”
“Is there anything special? Just do it.”
“You punk! Is that something you can just do?”
“It just seems that way because I didn’t explain it in detail. What do you think the current state of affairs is like from your perspective, Grandfather?”
“It was so noisy. It was a total mess.”
Chairman Cho shook his head. The discord within the ruling party was very severe. The opposition party just watched as if it was a fire across the river.
“Although they are divided into the ruling and opposition parties, the number of lawmakers who actually follow the president is only a handful. The country is in turmoil because everyone is trying to shake things up.”
“How long will it take? It will get quiet.”
“No, it will get noisier. The president is a dreamer. He should just use his power to crack down on the ruling party, but he won’t do that, so he will be impeached.”
My grandfather froze at my words.
“Impeach the president? Where is that… … .”
“No, it will go as I say. Since the president’s opponents have the majority in the National Assembly, there will be no trouble. If two-thirds of the quorum for the votes is exceeded, impeachment will occur.”
“Heh heh, that’s… … .”
My grandfather shook his head as if he couldn’t believe it.
This was the result of simulating the current situation with Ariel several times. It was a future that would arrive this fall at the latest.
“If you watch, you will see that I am right. But the impeachment will not pass. It will not pass the Constitutional Court.”
The impeachment will be completed only after the Constitutional Court makes a ruling.
“So you’re saying that impeachment won’t succeed? Then what happens?”
“There will be a general election next year. Korean politics will be in a state of upheaval from then on. We should wait for that moment. Grandfather, you should step up for the president from the moment the president is impeached.”
“Are you asking me to help you when you’re having a hard time?”
As expected, he had more experience than I expected, so he quickly understood what I was saying.
“Yes, the factions of the ruling and opposition parties will become like fallen leaves in the autumn wind. This means that their constituencies will become uninhabited mountains. You need to prepare in advance to occupy and become the owner of those empty mountains.”
This is the Korean politics I expected. That’s why they’re putting my grandfather in the forefront. If I were older, I would step forward myself, but I’m still too young.
“You… … no.”
“I don’t want to get involved in politics because I’m greedy for power. To be honest, I find politics annoying.”
“Then why do you want to come out?”
“If I don’t step forward, Korea will fall behind in the big picture. There is no country around Korea that is not a major power. The world will change rapidly in the future. If we fall behind in the big picture, the future of our country will be bleak.”
