Chapter 100 – Starting a Business.

Jang Gwang-sik and two gang members were monitoring Kim Hyeon-sam without resting properly for a week already.
While sleeping in the car, two gang members took turns following and watching Kim Hyeon-sam.

Today was the day of the Hanjadang New Year’s kick-off meeting.
The Grand Ballroom of a 5-star hotel in Namsan.

Numerous members of the National Assembly were greeting each other, tipping their glasses, and creating a friendly atmosphere.
However, Park Jung-eon’s gaze at Kim Hyun-sam was not so comfortable.
Clearly, Kim Hyun-sam, who even signed the document on the cabinet system agreement, was resolutely opposed, so Park Jung-eon was going crazy.

Beside Kim Hyeon-sam, loyalists who had supported him for more than 30 years, such as Seo Seong-jae and Kim Dae-ryong, stood guard.
Park Jeong-eon wanted to approach and talk, but he couldn’t have a deep conversation other than saying hello.

When the meeting of the lawmakers was over and everyone dispersed by car, Kim Dae-ryong and Seo Seong-jae tried to escort them to Kim Hyeon-sam’s house, but today, everyone greeted Kim Hyeon-sam’s words to go in early and scattered.

The car carrying Kim Hyun-sam turned around the curve to cross the Namsan Tunnel and entered a secluded place.
Suddenly, two private cars blocked Kim Hyeon-sam’s car, and a group of people poured out.

Kim Hyun-sam’s driver quickly locked the car door and crouched down.
A group of people started to destroy Kim Hyeon-sam’s car using metal pipes and the like.
Kim Hyeon-sam was terrified as he lay face down in the back seat of him.

However, Kim Hyun-sam’s car suddenly entered, and a private car rushed quickly from the road they entered, pushing the people who were standing on the side of the road and destroying Kim Hyun-sam’s car.
Four people wielding iron pipes and baseball bats at Kim Hyun-sam’s car from the side of the road were hit by the car and rolled off the floor.

Three people jumped out of a newly entered car and charged at the people who were destroying the car, punching and knocking them down.

When things took a strange turn, the scorpion drew a knife and charged the three.
However, a large man in the middle laughed with a ‘Pick’, and the scorpion’s knife was shed out of the body as it was, and he stood up and cut his abdomen with his knee.
The scorpion had to let go of the knife and crawl on the floor with the pain he had never felt before.
The big man kicked the scorpion in the head and knocked it out.

The scorpion, which was the best at fighting, was knocked out with just one shot, and even if the rest of the crew attacked in droves, there seemed no chance of victory.
The big man put his fists and feet into the vital points and cleaned up the three, and in the meantime, his subordinates were also taking care of one by one.

A large man approached the wrecked car, opened the door, and spoke politely.

“President Kim Hyun-sam, are you not injured anywhere? It’s safe now, so you can come out with peace of mind.”

Kim Hyeon-sam raised his head and looked at the large man holding out his hand with a good-natured smile.

Kim Hyeon-sam was so shocked that he couldn’t come to his senses.
I had absolutely no idea what was going on.
However, a scuffle broke out outside, and soon after it was quiet, a man of some size was smiling and extending his hand to him.

For some reason, I felt that this man could be trusted.
Kim Hyeon-sam, who got out of the car, looked around at the people lying around, gave the driver some instructions, and without hesitation went home in the car brought by Jang Gwang-shik.

Kim Hyeon-sam’s house in Sangdo-dong.
Kim Hyun-sam and Jang Gwang-shik were sitting opposite each other in the study.
Jang Gwang-shik was extremely difficult with Kim Hyeon-sam and was very careful.
Kim Hyeon-sam, who was happy to see that, laughed loudly at Jang Gwang-shik, who was shrinking in proportion to his size.

“Hey, don’t treat me so hard. Aren’t you my lifesaver? Haha.”
“Yes. Mr. Governor. All right. But since he is the future president, how can I treat him carelessly?”
“What? Am I going to be president? It’s a pleasant sound to hear.”

Kim Hyeon-sam laughed loudly when Jang Gwang-sik told him what he was dreaming of, he was in a good mood.
Jang Gwang-sik also smiled and explained the story in detail.
He explained that he was a gang member belonging to the Chunshik faction, and that he had recently had trouble with the Kwangseong faction, and in the meantime, he learned that the Gwangseong faction was trying to hit Kim Hyeon-sam.

In addition, Jang Kwang-sik explained in detail about Seong-jin.
How the war against crime will develop, so they responded as Sung-jin said, so they were all safe, and it was all thanks to Seong-jin’s plan that they were able to save Kim Hyun-sam this time. He explained that he even predicted that he would become president.

“Haha. Are you sure what you’re saying is true? What a great person you are.”
“Yes. Now he is 18 years old, but he is the smartest younger brother than anyone else.”
“Huh~ 18 years old? Really? But does that mean that the young fellow remembered all the things you have been talking about? I am very curious about who that friend is. Doesn’t it seem like a gift from heaven? I really want to meet you.”
“Yes. Sooner or later, I will set up a place to say hello to the president. First of all, you have to deal with the people who harmed you today.”
“Oh! Right.”

Jang Gwang-sik explained the story of the connection between the Haneulhoe and Kwangseongpa, which he had heard from Seongjin, and explained that Park Jeong-eon was probably behind him.
Kim Hyeon-sam pondered for a long time before saying that he would take care of the Kwang-seong faction himself.

Jang Gwang-sik wanted to ask for Kim Chun-sik’s release, but the seat was too burdensome to speak out today.
So he pledged the next time, said that he would definitely visit me again, and walked away.

The next day, I met Kwang-shik again quietly.

“Older brother. Thank you for your effort I guess I don’t have to worry about optical waves anymore.”
“Okay. I was going to bring up Chunshik hyung, but I didn’t say it because I didn’t think it was yet.”
“Good job. It is not yet time. We will create opportunities sooner or later.”

I talked a lot with Gwangsik hyung about future work.
First of all, we talked about setting up a multi-level company, led by Sungyeol-hyung, and disbanding the organization.
Recently, after seeing the work of the Gwangseongpa and Uncle Chunshik being arrested and sentenced to 10 years in prison, Gwangsik hyung was also feeling skeptical about being an organization.
Kwang-sik hyung-nim himself even said that he would make sure to clean up the surroundings sooner or later and help Sung-ryeol-hyung with the company work.

However, I had other plans for Kwang-shik.
It was to create a link with Kim Hyun-sam and lay the groundwork for other future projects.
It was okay for me to step in, but I thought it was not good to stand out too much, so I put Kwang-shik at the forefront.

I explained the plan to Kwang-sik hyung.
After listening to my explanation seriously for a while, older brother Gwang-sik felt burdened, asking if he could do such a thing.

“Older brother. Don’t worry too much. I’ll be there to help. My brother should play in bigger water. Sungyeol-hyung alone is enough to run a business and feed the subordinates. So hyung-nim, have a bigger heart and just look ahead and go.”

Gwang-shik, who had been silently thinking for a while, nodded his head as if he had made up his mind.

“Okay. I’m a guy too, so let’s try it once. You say you’re helping me, but I think it’s possible for some reason.”
“Yes. I will give you 1 billion won soon. Deliver that to Kim Hyeon-sam, and make sure to position yourself as an assistant.”

The Hanja Party will suffer a crushing defeat in the National Assembly elections next year.
It was the result of the party being greatly shaken by the nomination fight between factions within the party.
So I thought of providing political funds to Kim Hyun-sam and making sure that members of the National Assembly of Kim Hyun-sam’s faction were nominated.
It was to do an easy and sure task to make Kim Hyeon-sam the president.
He’s going to be president anyway.
If so, you have to make sure to take a snow stamp in the beginning so that you can use it after you become president.

“Sungjin. Then, next time we meet the elders, let’s go together. I think it would be better for you to talk in detail than for me. And that grown-up wants to see you very much too.”
“No. Older brother. It is not yet time for me to come to the fore. And my brother can do well enough. First of all, rather than discussing the details, you should become very close with Kim Hyun-sam. Also, you have to use your former job to scratch Kim Hyun-sam’s secret itch.”

In short, it was a call to become Kim Hyun-sam’s political gangster.
Jang Gwang-sik, who was quite smart, was able to fully understand Seong-jin’s words, and could feel a strange excitement rising in his chest.
It was because it was clear that if Seong-jin’s words were followed, great things would happen to Jang Gwang-sik’s future.
When I met Kim Hyeon-sam for a while, I explained what I should talk about and what kind of business I should prepare for in the future, and then we parted carefully.

After the New Year’s Eve, Kyungmi’s complexion improved a lot.
The wound was so large that it was still difficult to move, but the pain seemed to have subsided considerably from last week.
Perhaps because the pain had subsided, Kyeong-mi’s smile increased.

Because she was always by my side, her Kyungmi was having the happiest days of her life these days.
I was quite relieved to see such a state of gyeongmi.
I spend most of my time with Gyung-mi, but whenever I can, I start working on things that I have been putting off.

The first priority was to launch Cupdak at Mrs. Hyo-seon’s store.
Through a lawyer, he had already obtained patents for the recipe for Crispy Chicken and the brand Cupdak.

On the first Monday after the first week of January, Cupdak was introduced.
The reaction was explosive.
When ‘Kim Hee-gyeong Tteok Skewers’, which is already famous for its tteok skewers, introduced a new cup chicken, word of mouth quickly spread.
Since the main consumers are young students, they were warmly welcomed as they could enjoy delicious chicken at a low price.

As for the type of cup chicken, there were 2 types according to the size of the custom-made slush cup, and 1 type that contained about the amount of chicken in a container the size of a dumpling package, a total of 3 types.
The basic sauce was rice cake skewers, but honey mustard sauce, which her mother newly made, was also served.

Aunt Hyo-seon’s store literally exploded.
It was a shop at the entrance of the market, but there were so many people waiting in line that they blocked the market entrance, causing protests from market merchants.
Aunt Hyo-seon’s store was so busy that she had to hire two part-time workers right away.

When Aunt Hyo-seon’s store became a hit, the number of customers at her mother’s and Aunt Jeong-hee’s store decreased slightly.
Since Mrs. Hyo-seon’s store had not only cup chicken, but also tteok skewers, it was only natural that customers would flock to Mrs. Hyo-seon’s store, which could be served at once.

A week later, other branches, including my mother’s store, had no choice but to release Cupdak.

These days, our neighborhood has become the nucleus of a storm in the snack food industry.
This is because food stalls and shops with signs saying “Kim Hee-gyeong Tteok Skewers” ​​Were sweeping away customers with great food.
Similar things to tteok skewers were released at nearby stores, but the taste was different, and when I told my lawyer that I would sue the patented product, I withdrew the menu while cursing.

A week after launching Cupdak at my mother’s store, I finally went to a newspaper to cover it.
The reporter who came to the interview was surprised once by the number of customers and again by the taste of the tteok skewers and cup chicken.
My mother was taken aback as she didn’t know what to do when the reporter came out to cover the story, but I stepped forward and gave her a detailed explanation, a branch tour, and even gave her pocket money to write a good article.

Now, in 1991, reporters are busy looking for stories to cover, but in the future, reporters will be busy running business.
Knowing this well, I often made sweet offers to reporters that I would pay them a full reward if they posted articles like this.
From a reporter’s point of view, it was not a bad offer at all, so I readily accepted it.

I smiled inwardly.
Because, sooner or later, when chitosan is released, I intend to use the reporter.
However, since he came to me on his own, I felt that Heaven was helping me in a timely manner.
