It creates public opinion at the shareholders meeting by first securing shares with the best property. At the same time, I was thinking of making a chicken race with aggressive marketing by investing in a competitor.

‘If performance deteriorates, you will be cornered at the shareholders’ meeting. In the beginning, the group will be able to attract investment, but that will soon be depleted.’

They don’t have cheats, so I have a better chance of winning if I go long term.

‘Still, I won’t be relieved.’

Having lived as a commoner all my life, I couldn’t think of anyone to design for me except Dok-go-jeong. Besides, didn’t he remarry his ex, Seo Eun-chae, not long after he went to prison?

Even with the apartment I bought with my hard-earned money.

‘We’ll have to see the results of Mr. Moon Moo-young’s investigation, but…’

Suicide cases of people related to me.

That was not something that could be done at the level of Kangmyung Mulsan. If you don’t use a proper expert, you have no choice but to leave a tail.

I couldn’t be killed myself, so I decided to slowly prepare for the war so that it wouldn’t be noticed.

‘In order to bring down Dok-go-jeong, I have to be prepared to turn the entire Dok-go group into enemies.’

How to bend your arms inward. Even if Dokgojeong’s Dokgo Commerce was destroyed, as long as the Dokgo Group remained healthy, he was highly likely to become an executive at another affiliate somewhere.

If that happened, it couldn’t be seen as a proper punishment.

‘If I put him in prison, the story will be different.’

If you properly dig into the serial suicide case of Gangmyeong Corporation retirees, you might be able to catch something. But, as is the case with such guys, there was a high probability that their tails would be cut off before they even reached the poison fixation.

‘It’s a headache.’

The investigation of the suicide case was decided to be carried out after hiring a bodyguard from Titanium Security, and it was decided to first secure a share to form public opinion.

‘Let’s see.’

Korean chaebol groups used to secure control over the entire group with a small stake through multi-level holding companies. In this case, finding a holding company was important.

A closer look at DART gave us a sense of governance.

‘The holding company of the Dokgo Group is Dokgo Securities.’

The actual owner of Dokgo Securities was Dokgo Jin, the chairman of Dokgo Construction. He was the father of Dokgojeong and the ruler of Dokgo Group.

He secured a whopping 20% stake in Dokgo Securities. When the children’s share was added, it reached a whopping 25%.

‘It’s good to have multiple levels. This is why we make a holding company.’

Dokgo Securities invested 20 percent each in Dokgo Construction, Dokgo Trade, and Dokgo Oil.

They again secured shares in small group companies under their umbrella, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that practically all of the Dokgo Group’s board of directors are in the hands of Dokgo Jin, the largest shareholder of Dokgo Securities.

It was to exercise influence over the entire group by securing stakes in the holding company, rather than having to secure stakes in each company.

‘The share of Dokgojeong is not high.’

The share of Dokgo Securities owned by Dokgojeong was only 0.5%. Whether it was a child from the group or not, the ratio was lower than that of other children.

‘In the first place, the marriage of convenience was also destroyed, so I must have been properly out of sight.’

Dok-go-jeong’s older brothers all married members of conglomerate families. He was married to Seo Eun-chae, who was not only Dok-go-jeong, but he was not a conglomerate, but seeing that he went through two divorces and remarried, it seemed that he had a problem.

‘Will your marriage be okay?’

There is no law against a person who has been divorced twice, divorced a third time. I wanted to check how the bastards who did that to me were doing, but the phone, the only way to contact Seo Eun-chae, had already been blocked.

‘It was absurd.’

I didn’t visit Ha-yeon in person because I didn’t want to show her fighting in front of me, but I thought we’d have to negotiate sooner or later.

‘If possible, I’ll have to finish it before I start fighting in earnest.’

But not now. It’s dangerous to bring a child without bodyguards.

I turned my eyes back to stocks.

Considering that the market capitalization of Dokgo Securities is 7 trillion won, Dokgo Jeong’s stake was worth 35 billion won.

‘How long have I been there?’

Only the money in my personal account is 115.1 billion. If you add all the money in all your bank accounts, there was close to 240 billion. Besides, the money was still growing.

‘I’ll catch him soon, but my family is the problem.’

Fleas must be properly burned to kill when exterminated. Even if he defeated Dok-go-jeong, if his family helped him to recover, it could not be seen as proper revenge.

Fortunately, the Dok-go family was famous for being trash, so I didn’t feel guilty about defeating them. Rather, I felt like an apostle of justice.

‘Uhm… how will we do it?’

If you buy a lot suddenly, the stock price can rise rapidly, so the work had to be done slowly. Dokgo Securities – Dokgo Trade – Dokgo Commerce If you buy along the line, you will be able to eat Dokgo Commerce.

‘It will take a while, but.’

The market cap of Dokgo Commerce was 300 billion won, that of Dokgo Trade was 3 trillion won, and that of Dokgo Securities was 7 trillion won.

‘For now, let’s buy the best product.’

The goal is for each of the 16 companies I own to secure a 0.99% stake in Dokgo Group affiliates. It was a good way to secure a 16% stake without revealing the identity because it is not a major shareholder.

The first thing I went into was the best product.

[Evaluation amount: 105 billion 24.84 million won]

‘For now, only 0.1% each.’

He used 10.3 billion won to buy stocks in Dokgo Commerce, Dokgo Trade, and Dokgo Securities. As soon as the chicken race, in which capital was invested, started, the stock price would drop further, so we bought only enough stocks to attract minority shareholders.

‘With this, I’ll be able to wage public opinion.’

Stocks are picked up when they fall, so this was enough. Now it was time to figure out the next step.

Among the competitors of Dokgo Commerce, in which Dokgo Jeong was involved, Daehan Market stood out.

‘Due to Dokgo Commerce’s event offensive, our position has narrowed considerably. At this rate, all of the shares will be taken away within a few years.’

‘But if you do an aggressive event and run an attractive membership system that customers won’t be able to leave.’

Naturally, customers would choose Daehan Market.

And to do that, you need money.

The bullets filled the account felt reassuring. Since Daehan Market started as a start-up, it was collapsing helplessly under the attack of Dokgo Commerce, a chaebol group.

According to the rumors that were heard in the meantime, there was also a story that I was recommended to exit from foreign capital.

‘But they said he refused.’

That means that the founder of Daehan Market is likely to have a lot of affection for the company.

‘Or that the amount wasn’t right.’

In any case, it was clear that he had an intention to grow the company. If so, we will welcome your investment with open arms.

In the current situation, there is no chance to beat Dokgo Commerce.

‘Should we talk first?’

***

A room at a Japanese restaurant near Gangnam.

In front of Kim Jae-gu and Lim Han-ul, who were sitting facing each other, a table of sashimi and sushi was set.

“You want to meet the representative of Daehan Market without revealing your identity?”

“Uh. How can I approach you to meet you?”

A box of snacks was also given to Lim Han-ul’s office, and as an additional gift, he gave away a hoodie he had bought from the United States. It was a maker’s suit with the Statue of Liberty on it.

No Yu-ri was very happy, and Park Min-seok seemed to like it quite a bit, seeing that the corner of his mouth slightly went up.

I declined Im Han-ul’s request to go after lunch, and instead made an appointment to meet him alone in the evening.

It wasn’t that I hated eating with other people, but there were things I couldn’t say in front of them.

Im Han-ul put down his chopsticks and fell into trouble.

In the meantime, I used the [Eye of Trust].

[Reliability 91%]

[Cooldown: 23 hours 59 minutes 59 seconds]

rather higher?

As if going to the US together had an effect, his trustworthiness improved.

‘Is business going well?’

It reminded me of the 1 billion I invested in Lim Hanul’s company. It wasn’t a lot of money to me now, but it was money I thought I was giving him and forgot about.

After being silent for a while, he opened his mouth.

“Why do you want to hide your identity?”

With this level of trust, I might be able to tell you everything. If we were to continue to be close friends, it would have been better to know him to some extent.

“I will destroy Dokgo Commerce.”

At those words, Im Han-ul’s complexion turned blue.

“Dokgo? Don’t say such crazy things. You bastard.”

“I’m serious.”

“·······.”

he let out a deep sigh.

“I know your ex-wife married the third son of the Dokgo group. But don’t touch Dokgo.”

I’d prefer not to touch it, but that wasn’t the case. In order to negotiate with Dok-go-jeong, he had no choice but to fight the Dok-go group.

I wanted to talk sober today, so I drank a cup of cider instead of soju and set it down on the table.

“I didn’t steal.”

“Know.”

yes. got it. When I asked for money, you were the only one who reached out to me.

“Then who would have been framed?”

Im Han-ul looked around and lowered his voice even though it was only the two of them in the room.

“Jaegu.”

“uh.”

“I don’t think that’s what we’re talking about here.”

After the meal, I came to the office with Im Hanul. Because Han Kyung-ah and Choi Ji-hoon had left work earlier, no one would be there.

Even in front of a corridor full of iron doors, perhaps because of his high reliability, he did not show any signs of nervousness.

“How did you set up an office in such a dingy place?”

“It’s dull inside the office, too.”

When the iris was recognized, the door opened. It was a simple office with three desks, a table with a sofa for eating, a refrigerator and a microwave.

Im Hanul shook his head.

“Jaegu. Decorate the office and live.”

“Uh. I’m still thinking about how to decorate it.”

He sat down on the sofa and pointed the other way with his palm. I took a Coke from the fridge, gave him one, and sat across from him.

We opened a Coke and drank without a word. He gulped down a coke and wiped his mouth with the back of his hand.

“Kha. It’s cool.”

“right?”

We faced each other and laughed awkwardly. Lim Han-ul made eye contact for a moment, smiled, and hardened his expression. He checked once more to see if the door was closed, then opened his mouth.

“…Don’t touch Dokgo.”

“Why?”

“It’s not all they see.”

A wrinkle formed between his brows. Looking into his pensive eyes, he seemed to be reminding me of something I didn’t know.

“What do you mean?”

“They do a lot of dirty things. Fighting with the Dokgo Group won’t save your life.”

There was a time when the second son of Dokgo Group hit an employee and it became a problem. Those who naturally punch people have a reason. That’s how the family’s tail ate.

The story revealed on the outside is just the tip of the iceberg, and it was clear that such things must have happened all the time.

‘Are these guys who know human life as the life of a fly?’

Oddly enough, people related to Dokgo Group committed suicide frequently. According to Moon Moo-young’s investigation, there were several deaths of not only Kangmyeong Moolsan’s colleagues, but also those related to them in the political and business world.

However, it was not covered very much in the media.

‘Because there was only circumstantial evidence.’

Most of the materials Moon Moo-yeong brought were circumstantial evidence. It wouldn’t be easy to catch their tails because they’re good at destroying and hiding evidence.

“Okay? Jaegu Kim. Don’t touch Dokgo.”

“Sorry. Instead, I’ll hire a good bodyguard.”

“I don’t know how much legacy they inherited, but they’re not the kind of guys you can deal with with a few bucks. There are more than four organizations associated with them.”

“How do you know that?”

“I heard.”

“where?”

“I have a meeting.”

“meeting?”

“There’s such a thing. Anyway, I’m not going because I like it. I’m going because my father is so kind.”

Is there a CEO meeting? If that’s the case, it would be okay to ask Lim Han-ul when developing Korean connections.

“Don’t look at me like that. They’re the ones who kill people, so don’t get entangled.”

When my ex-wife married Dok-go-jeong and remarried, it was wrong to separate completely. I don’t know if Hayeon would give it back.

“Jaegu Kim. Are you listening?”

“Uhh. So I’ll have to contact you anonymously.”

“Do you really think your identity will be revealed?”

“Time will drag on.”

That is until the bodyguards arrive.

At times like this, I thought it was really fortunate that gun possession was illegal in our country. Even the muscle masses I saw at the party would be knocked out in one shot by the gun.

But without a gun, I felt like I could protect most things. Because they were physicals that you can’t easily see in Korea.

“you really!”

Im Han-ul jumped up from his seat. His face was full of worry. I didn’t want to drag him in with such dangerous guys.

“okay.”

“really?”

He nodded silently, and he sighed and shook his head.

“That’s right. There’s no way Kim Jae-gu will give up.”

quick-witted

Lim Han-ul tilted his head back and said, “aaah!” he shouted and raised his head.

“Kim Jae-goo.”

“uh?”

“Are you sure you can win?”

“uh.”

The Dokgo Group also runs out of capital over time, but I had the skills to endlessly supply capital.

“If you say that, there must be something.”

“Thank you for trusting me.”

“Write it down.”

I pulled out my phone and he gave me his address, phone number and password. I eagerly typed in the notepad and raised my head.

“The scale is smaller than Dokgo’s, but they’re good at digging up people. Don’t use your real name when making requests.”

I guess it’s an exciting place.

“I’ll call you on a payphone or prepaid phone.”

“Yes. Be careful when sending money.”

Im Hanul raised the corners of his mouth with a bitter expression.

“I’ll see if anyone knows Daehan Market.”

“No. You don’t have to. I’ll take care of it. You have to be more careful not to get caught by the tail.”

He picked up his cell phone and showed it. The information he called was written there.

“I really hope you don’t, but you won’t listen even if I stop you, right?”

“I’m sorry. I won’t harm you.”

“Take care of yourself. Take care of the people around you.”

***

I obtained the phone number of the representative of Daehan Market by requesting the agency that Lim Han-ul told me about. It was personal information, but it took less than two hours to find out.

‘The skill is certain.’

I bought a coin using a foreign account and remitted the request.

[Please use it again later. customer.]

I was not worried because I contacted them using a prepaid phone. It’s not a situation where you’re being chased right now, so there won’t be anything special.

‘Should I make contact as a foreign investor?’

When I called the phone number they sent me, someone answered the phone.

{hello?}

“Are you Han Ho-jae, CEO of Daehan Market?”

{who are you?}
