Chapter 203 – Maniac Transplantation Case (5)

203

After Harin returned, a dinner that only I was uncomfortable with continued.

“Okay. How was Italy?”
“Dirty, smelly and noisy.”
“It must have been louder because it was a soccer-crazed town. That’s why my dad assigns staff. Since they’ve been working in the area for a long time, everything from accommodation to guidance would have been fine.”
“That’s okay. What about my brothers?”
“One is in the US branch and one is in the Middle East. Go learn something, tsk.”

Two people having a casual conversation.
Until recently, my son… No, even I admire my father’s appearance of not showing a single ounce even though he knelt down to me, who is almost at the age of his grandson.

Wherever I went, I prided myself on not being pushed by the thickness of my face… Indeed, the chaebol leader’s acting ability is unmatched.

Or was she relieved by my answer that I would always cherish Harin and make her her first priority?
If I found out that there was not just one woman I met, but several other women, would my father be angry again? So how do I release it?

Maybe he thought it was awkward for the two of them to be in trouble while they were talking. Harin suddenly spoke up.

“As you said, I pulled out a list of clubs with annual operating expenses of around 1 billion won.”
“Ah. Yes thank you great job.”
“The club? What do you mean?”
“Because Minjun is interested in the club. I am looking for a club to take over.”

Seeing the father intervene with a heartbroken expression was a little funny, like a father who had lost his daughter.
After talking for a while, does Harin not even want to talk to me for a while?

“Are you interested in running your club? As a player?”
“Ah, yes, father-in-law. I am very interested in Korean soccer, especially youth education. Didn’t I still spend my youth in Korea? Having succeeded like this, I want to be of some help to Korean soccer—”

Even though I put in all the keywords that the elderly would like, “Education,” “Success,” “Reciprocate,” And “Patriotism,” He quickly changed his words with a dissatisfied expression.

“—Pray, and more than anything else, Harin is a bit capable. Unlike me, she is very smart, and it would be a waste to have a girl who is good at anything by my side.”

Maybe it’s because she’s the youngest and most famous daughter in a family with only her son, and her father immediately wiggles his lips at her daughter’s praise.
In response, he eagerly uttered long-winded words.

“Rather than continuing to stick to me and take care of me like now, wouldn’t it be better to have a chance to show off my abilities… Thinking about it, it’s also a field I’m interested in, so I’m thinking of entrusting the management of the club. Because I am an active player, even if I take over the club, it is difficult to manage it.”
“Mmm.”

Her father nodded in satisfaction and brushed her sleek chin.

“It’s the running of the club. Okay. As for running the club, it’s pretty good. It handles personnel and finances, and since the scale is small, you should get used to the business.”

Is it also a chaebol?
The word club management reminds me of management classes rather than money or difficulties.

“But isn’t that a soccer club worth a penny or two? Aren’t you a soccer player?”

The nuances look like they are looking up and down, saying ‘Are you?’.
What… It’s not that I covet the major European leagues or clubs in the 1st and 2nd divisions, at most the 3rd and 4th divisions in Korea. Even actor Kim Soo-man is the owner of the 13th division in England, is there anything I can’t do?

Then Harin suddenly intervened.

“If you transfer this time, Minjun will start with an annual salary of 10 billion won.”
“10 billion? A soccer player?”
“Come to think of it, Minjun-ah. I think there will be about 7-8 teams that will actively offer you this time. The ransom is at least 80 million euros, and the annual salary, as I said before, is 8 million euros, from 10 billion won.”

80 million euros is more than 100 billion won.
The corner of Harin’s mouth went up as she turned her head to hide her father’s startled look.

… How do you act like your dad?

At first, I thought it was a transfer story out of the blue, but looking at that reaction, I can definitely understand.
You brag about how good my man is in front of my father. He must have been pissed off at being dismissed as a soccer player.

The corners of my mouth twitched this time at the cute reaction that wasn’t like Harin’s.

“Do soccer players get paid that much?”
“It depends on the player. Because Minjun is special.”
“Hmm. Is that the best treatment in your business?”
“… It’s not. Minjun is a young player now turning 22, so his experience is lacking, so it’s less than his skill. As his career builds up, he’ll double or triple in no time.”
“Hoo. A football player is like that.”

After all, it is only the wife who takes care of her husband, and Harin’s invisible housekeeping makes her heart grow.
Is this the Oh Harin who just waited tick-tick?

“If the annual salary is 10 billion won, running a club worth 1 billion won is a hobby that costs money. Daddy’s daughter’s husband can’t even have a hobby like this?”

Even though it was a flat tone, it felt like it was somehow boastful, so I decided to bury the fact that ‘the real income is half of that after deducting taxes’.

What… If you include the amount of incentives or various options, you may want more.
How can I hit 10 billion if I shoot some commercials?

“Um… Husband… “

However, my father didn’t pay attention to the 10 billion annual salary Harin’s ‘husband’ voice.

“It’s a club.”

After thinking for a moment, the father suddenly opens his mouth.

“What about this? In the meantime, our GT group only participated in various sports competitions as a sponsor, but did not directly run the club. Coincidentally, in the Strategy Office, our group also conducted an investigation into the management of sports clubs at the marketing level. Let’s try it with soccer.”

The GT Group has a soccer team?
However, no matter how much I think about it, I think there will be more bad things than good things about the 3rd and 4th league clubs being acquired by the 10 largest conglomerates.

It’s not some chaebol, but what are the top 10 conglomerates doing with a club with 1 to 2 billion won in annual operating expenses?

If it’s 3 or 4 parts, there won’t be any marketing effect.

“I… Father-in-law. I’m sorry, but it seems that it will be difficult to get a positive effect even if a large company like GT participates in the 3rd and 4th leagues with only 1 to 2 billion won in operating expenses. The scale is too small, and the lower leagues will have little marketing effect due to domestic league circumstances.”
“Is it? Then, how much is the operating cost of Part 1?”

Part 1 I don’t know.
After hesitating for a moment, Harin responds quickly.

“One club with an overwhelmingly high operating cost is about 45 billion won, followed by two clubs in the mid-30 billion won range. The lowest club is just over 10 billion.”
“I heard that a player earns over 10 billion won, but is it possible to operate with that?”

Sure
My father is a football ignorant. He wasn’t interested at all.

“That’s because he plays in Europe.”

Then, stories about the European football world, financial scale, sponsors and owners, and Mansurni’s oil money came and went.
Harin is smart.

“It would be better for GT to start with part 2 rather than participating in part 1 right away. There are few clubs with operating expenses exceeding 10 billion won, so there is little burden. Above all, there will be trial and error that occurs when running a soccer club for the first time, but it takes time to adapt.”
“Whose daughter is our princess, she is very smart. Is that so?”
“Uh. It’s better to go up from part 2, both for investment and story.”

She looks at Harin, who answers lightly with her arms crossed. She is good at stretching. She is good at it. I think I know where Harin’s unapologetic attitude came from.

“Dad. Soccer team, give it to me I’ll do it.”

… What? What is this all of a sudden…

“Is that so? Will my princess try it?”
“Yes. I will run it.”

No what is this… It’s not like a soccer club pays a penny or two, can you say yes if you give it to your dad like this?

This is the chaebol class… ?

“Wait a minute, father-in-law. The reason I take over the club is not just a hobby. For the development of Korea’s youth—”
“Think of Harin as a dowry.”
“-Yes? Dowry!?”
“That soccer team, isn’t it worth the money anyway? It only survives with financial support from its parent company. You have to take it over and pour water into the bottomless dock, so I’d rather take it over and give it to Harin.”

The dowry is a football club… Is it a true story of a chaebol class? Her breasts grow

“I was going to give you a company when I get older anyway, but if it’s not a company, but a club, it will be a management class in its own way.”

I was embarrassed for a while at the class that made my heart grow.

“Father-in-law. Wouldn’t it be better to do it like this?”

* * *

It was hard.
It was an experience I never want to go through again.

Trying to get permission from your girlfriend’s parents, not just permission to date, but permission from both legs (actually, it’s like an octopus leg)… I’m just saying, am I sane?

Still, I’m glad it ended well because of Harin’s special circumstances.
I feel more tired than when I played in the Olympic final, the Europa final, and the World Cup quarterfinals. Mind, not the body.

I was sitting in the seat next to Harin driving with a tired body when the phone rang.

“Hello. Yes everything, why?”
—Don’t you check the chat?

As soon as you answer her phone call, the tingling voice is also typical of Daye.

“Sorry. Seo-Bang-nim has been busy all day today.”
— Everyone is waiting, so hurry up
“Wait? What? Where?”
— Hang up
“Uh? Hey! Yoon Daye!”

Did this really break?
Looking for something, I checked the message from Daye, and it was sent a few hours ago, when I was heading to Harin’s house after the disbanding ceremony.

“… My parents and Daye’s parents are waiting? At my house?”

Fuck this… Why are you like this today?
