Chapter 441 – Part 3
The rest of June passed by in a flash.
The official summer hadn’t even started yet, but the weather was scorchingly hot.
The summer of 1994 was recorded as the hottest summer ever recorded.
If you go out in the sunlight for a while, the meat will cook, and even crack an egg on an asphalt road and it will be fried right away.
It was such a hot day that even while people were struggling to die, the situation in the Republic of Korea was rapidly changing.
News about the inter-Korean summit was pouring out on TV every day, and people were excited with hopeful anticipation, wondering if Korea would finally be reunified.
However, on July 9, the news that Kim Il-sung had died the previous day came out like breaking news.
The stock price, which continued to soar on hopeful expectations of unification, began to plummet after the market opened on the 9th.
As the news spread that North Korea’s military forces might start a war to stabilize the regime following the death of Kim Il-sung, they fell into a state of panic never seen before.
Despite this situation, the Blue House, which had been preparing only for the inter-Korean summit, did not respond in any way, and rather, as an emergency order was issued in the army, soldiers who had been on leave returned, and the entire military entered a quasi-war system, only growing anxiety.
As these facts became known within the military, people all gathered in front of radios and TVs out of anxiety that a real war would break out, and stock prices were falling through the floor and into hell.
However, Seong-jin was already sitting in the chairman’s office of a securities company and watching TV leisurely.
“Is Kim Il-sung finally dead? Now.. Shall we start working now? Haha..”
Seongjin called the president by pressing the intercom.
“Yes. Did you call President.”
“Yes. Did you see the news?”
“Yes. I saw. I was already expecting it after hearing what the president said, but honestly, I am dumbfounded because it fits so accurately.”
“Are all the preparations finished?”
“Yes. Most of the domestic stocks have already been sorted out, so now the employees are playing while watching the news.”
“Is it so? Then let’s get to work.”
As Seongjin drew a smile on his lips and his eyes lit up, a smile was also drawn on the corner of the president’s mouth.
“I’ll sweep it up from the afternoon market.”
“Yes. All right.”
“I’ll say it again, but I plan to keep the stocks I buy this time for a long time, so buy blue chip stocks mainly from large corporations, but never buy the stocks of the ‘Jaewoo Group’.”
“Yes.. I will, but…”
The boss replied that he understood, but he still had a face of incomprehension.
Currently, Jaewoo Group is in the middle of expanding its business to the world with the slogan of ‘train management’ as the second place in the business world, and correspondingly, tremendous sales results are coming out.
However, the president is not convinced at all when he tells him not to buy stocks of Jaewoo Group while telling him to buy blue chip stocks.
However, Sungjin did not explain why.
After a few years, how can we say that the next president will disband the well-known Jaewoo Group?
So Seong-jin just ignored the president’s disapproving face and changed the subject of the conversation.
“Ah.. And since this situation can end sooner than you think, you have to take care of it so that the state is not defended from the bottom.”
“Yes? What else do you mean by that? This is the case of Kim Il-sung’s death. The movement of the North Korean military forces is unusual, so it is a situation where a war may break out..”
Seongjin smiled at the boss like that.
“What kind of kid’s game is war? There is no war That’s all a dupe to put his son, Kim Jong-il, in the position of leader.
Think about it. In North Korea, Kim Il-sung was a god. He was thinking that God would not die, so he was not working on the Kim Jong-il succession properly.
But suddenly, Kim Il-sung died. Now, North Korea is on fire. Since Kim Jong-il has not been idolized, it is difficult to suddenly raise him to the position of leader, but leaving the position as leader vacant seems to shake the system.
That’s why North Korea is creating an atmosphere of anxiety with war stories now.
In order to resolve this uneasy situation, they are trying to set the mood by promptly appointing Kim Jong-il as the leader. Haha..”
“Hmm… I heard that. It is similar to how Pung Shin-su-gil caused the Imjin War in Joseon to calm the internal dissatisfaction of the samurai during the Japanese invasion of Korea in 1592.”
Perhaps because he was clearly a learned man, the president immediately recognized Seong-jin’s words.
“Yes. Kim Jong-il will be seated in the leader’s seat sooner than expected, and he will be quiet as soon as he sits down. So maybe this stock crash may end sooner than expected. So hurry up and sweep it up right now. Heh..”
“All right. Heh..”
The president of the securities company also smiled similarly to Seongjin, said hello and went out.
“Hmm.. How much do you think you can earn this time? I don’t know if I’m going to scrape all of our country’s money like this. Haha..”
Seongjin leaned back in his chair again and turned his gaze to the TV.
“Hmm… I don’t know if the general is doing it right. Shall we call Mr. Ragyeong?”
Sungjin, who had reached out for the phone, withdrew his hand and leaned back again.
I had already informed everyone that Kim Il-sung was going to die, and even gave hints so that I could prepare, but I thought it was too reckless to interfere anymore.
But as if he knew what he was thinking, he got a call from Mrs. Hong Ra-gyeong.
“Uh.. Mr. Rakyung.”
“West. Thank you. Ho ho ho…”
What made him feel so good? Hong Ra-gyeong thanked Seong-jin and started laughing.
“Keuk.. Seeing our Ragyeong-ssi smile, you must have dealt with it very well this time?”
“Yes. Jangseong Securities has reported that 300 billion of the 500 billion that you sent through the United States last time was treated as a loss today, and at the same time, other stocks are now being swept away. Ho Ho..”
Everything was going just as Sung-jin had said at the secret villa last time.
The death of Kim Il-sung in early July and the Jangseong Group’s decision to raise a slush fund appropriately with that opportunity came true today.
Sungjin invested 500 billion won out of the 2 trillion won of Jangsung’s funds, which came in as an American investment company, in Jangseong Securities in the form of a private equity fund.
Since the size of the fund is so large, when the investment news first came out, it became a huge issue for the Korean stock market and the general public.
A stock fever suddenly blew up in Korea, to the point where people flocked to the brokerage store to open a securities account.
Seeing this, Seong-jin thought that it could be a big problem if it became known that an American investment company was his company.
Originally, he set up a company to make some money by investing in American IT companies based on the information he knew about the future, but somehow the company managed a large investment of over 2.6 trillion won. As it became a company, it was getting more and more attention on Wall Street.
Sungjin didn’t like being known in this way.
If it became known that his wealth was this much, it was clear that the people in power in the Korean government, or to be precise, would not stand still.
So Seong-jin took this opportunity to get rid of the American investment company and set up a new investment company so that Sung-jin would not know that he was related.
And he created a paper company and doubled the money to create this private equity fund.
Now, no evidence can be found anywhere that Sung-jin is involved in the investment by an American investment company and Jangseong Securities, and Sung-jin feels at ease to understand why people with money are creating fake companies and stealing funds. I found out.
However, Seongjin did not know what kind of typhoon this series of things he wanted to ease now would bring later.
“Okay. Good job. Did you have any particular problems while handling the work?”
“Sure. There was nothing to be concerned about. Seobang-nim handled the work neatly, and my staff are very competent. Ho Ho..”
After all, it’s something the people in the planning office of the Great Wall Group do, so could there be any mistakes?
“As expected, if you listen to our Seobangnim’s words, you can make rice cakes even while sleeping like this. Ho ho ho…
Come to think of it, our Seobangnim is really great. You know in advance what the stock price will be, no more than that.. How can you even predict the death of a person? I was really surprised this time again.
After all, you must have become the owner of this Hong Ra-kyung in the world..”
Mrs. Hong Ra-kyung said that she was excited, and then she suddenly became humble.
“Hehe… Am I really the owner of Mr. Rakyung?”
“Then yo. West is my eternal master. I love you, West. Ho ho ho…”
“Okay. Okay. Okay. By the way… Did you go to the hospital today?”
“Yes. I secretly went to the obstetrics and gynecology clinic in the morning before it opened. Now, it’s less than four weeks old, so I can’t see anything on the ultrasound, but I’m in good shape, and there’s nothing wrong with the fetus.”
It was.
After she called last time about the multiplex movie theater business, Mrs. Hong Ra-gyeong immediately went to the obstetrics and gynecology department.
It was Mrs. Hong Ra-gyeong, who was in charge of the chairmanship of a large company, and she was a middle-aged woman who could be called a man if she became pregnant. It was difficult, but I found out that I was pregnant through a thorough examination under the coercion of Mrs. Hong Ra-gyeong.
After finding out about her pregnancy, Mrs. Hong Ra-gyeong said she secretly went to the hospital every morning before going to work to check her condition.
“Um… As the baby’s father, I’m sorry I couldn’t go with you.”
“Ah… No. You know our situation. What… Seobang-nim, don’t be sorry, don’t worry. I’ll take care of everything.”
“You will be full soon, so what are you going to do?”
“Up to about six months, you can hide it with just good clothes. Until then, when I get more hungry from work in Korea, I will use the excuse of taking a break and go to America. You can leave the management of the company to the vice president and tell him to report only important matters. And I plan to return to work after having a baby and taking care of myself sometime next summer.”
“Wow. What? Have you already set up your schedule? But, Mr. Ragyeong, he doesn’t say that he doesn’t work because of his child. Haha..”
“Oh my… How did I get to this point and then give up? And the West made this place. So you can never quit.
And my child is doing it because I can do it while keeping everything a secret. Even if I look like this, I am one of the people who control our country’s economy. Ho ho ho…”
“Okay. Well you know Still, I’m worried that you’ll have a hard time giving birth to a child. I mean, I’m old.”
“Do not worry. The hospital says that my body age, especially my uterus, is better than that of my 30s. The doctor was envious of how my body could be so healthy.
Well, I’m curious to see. Being loved by the West made me this good…”
Lady Hong Ra-kyung laughed at her words, and then she suddenly cut off her words.
Then she suddenly spoke her words with a serious face.
“By the way.. What the hell is Mr. Seo? Isn’t he a real god? He can change people like this, and he knows people until the day they die.
Um… It’s scary to say it. Aren’t you the real God?”
“It’s crazy? What the hell are you talking about? What god am I If it were God, would I live through this hardship just because I earn money? Kuck..”
At Mrs. Hong Ra-kyung’s words, Seongjin-do, she wondered why God gave her this ability and sent her back to the past.
As she returned, Seong-jin said that she had never heard the voice of a god, and neither did she receive a mission to do anything for humanity.
She was just living her ecstasy while making money with her own girls and having sex with her so far.
I guess I’ll have to seriously think about this later.
“That is what it means. And what if our West is a god? It is important that you are my husband and that you are the father of my child. Isn’t it?
Ah!! If our West is God, then am I the one chosen by God? So is everything going well?
Hmm.. It’s something amazing, and it’s also exciting. Ho ho ho…”
Mrs. Hong Ra-gyeong and Seong-jin were cuter today as they played drums and janggu and made ridiculous noises alone.
Seongjin listened to her chatter, and she just laughed.
After this, Mrs. Hong Ra-gyeong chatted happily for a long time before hanging up the phone.
“Whoah.. I thought I was going to die of pain from what you said so much. Haha..”
No matter how cute and lovable Mrs. Hong Ra-gyeong was, holding her phone to her ear for long periods of time was torture for Seong-jin.
That’s not to say that she can’t ask the excited talker to hang up, so as soon as Sungjin hung up her phone, she automatically rubbed her ears and couldn’t help but scream in pain from her mouth.
However, as if to send her heartache to Sung-jin, her phone immediately rang again.
