President’s Office of Carver Company Headquarters, Minneapolis, USA.

William Carver, the actual owner of the Carver Company, was looking out the window. In his eyes, he saw a field and a greenhouse where he studied seed improvement.

Creating seeds that can adapt to climate change and researching methods to increase production. That was the mission and destiny of the Carver Company.

It was a life that had been devoted to it for the rest of its life, but recently there were more things to worry about.

“(What does he look like when you see him?)”

William Carver looked back at his eldest son, Alec Carver, sitting on the couch sipping tea. Alec picked up a piece of scone and shoved it into his mouth.

“(Is that him?)”

“(That Korean guy.)”

“(Ah. You’re talking about Mr. Jaegu.)”

“(I’m not trying to hear such a pun. If it’s Mr. Kim, it’s Mr. Kim. What is Mr. Jaegu?)”

A boring man with a tight front and back.

It was according to the image of William Carver known to the world.

“(He didn’t seem like a bad person. And he didn’t seem to have a deep relationship with Eli, as my father thought.)”

“(Not yet.)”

“(That’s right.)”

Elisa starts talking to Alec about men, and it’s not long before she shows up with him. I don’t know how many times she told Alec about Kim Jae-goo.

“(Having done it, but now I’m an Asian.)”

“(You are investing in Dongyang this time, why don’t you have an open mind?)”

“(Investment is investment, marriage is marriage.)”

“(The scones are delicious. I think the improved wheat this time has more stickiness. My father should try it too.)”

Alec Carver offered him scones with a smile. William Carver tutted and clicked his tongue before coming over and picking up a scone.

“(This isn’t sticky, it’s high in gluten. It’s not suitable for a soft flour.)”

“(is that so.)”

“(When are you planning to retire this father?)”

“(It’s not as easy as you think.)”

He knew his father took pride in his business. So, sometimes I would create an opportunity to build my self-esteem.

‘(I don’t even want to take over the chairmanship already.)’

The life of living freely under his father’s shadow was comfortable. I wanted to delay that time as much as possible, as I had to personally review everything from one to ten when I took the chairperson’s seat.

Besides, the time I spent with my young son was precious.

“(What time is the meeting today?)”

“(It’s 11:30.)”

William Carver checked his watch.

“(It’s not long.)”

“(Employees are setting up seats.)”

“(Yes. Vietnamese food is well prepared, right?)”

“(Yes.)”

As it is a place to meet people who have invested in the Vietnamese business, we decided to serve food made with ingredients from Vietnam.

It was embarrassing because it broke the frame of closed family management that had been handed down from its ancestors and attracted external funds for the first time in the history of the Carver Company.

“(Everything will be fine, Father.)”

It was Alec Carver who actively advocated outside investment. He wanted the Carver Company to change radically.

William Carver is 60 years old this year. He could still work for ten more years, but after that he would have to hand it over to Alec.

That’s why he accepted his opinion and created this type of investment.

“(Yes. It should work out. What kind of a guy is that Mr. Kim?)”

“(He looks more like a giant than I thought.)”

When an investment of 30 million dollars was recommended, he readily accepted it without hesitation. As if that amount of money is nothing.

“(Is that so.)”

“(Yes.)”

“(Aren’t you a socialist?)”

Alec took a sip of his coffee.

“(I don’t think so, but I’ll find out.)”

Headquarters of the Carver Company in Minneapolis, USA.

The drawing room overlooking a small field was slightly more luxuriously decorated than the other rooms.

To say it was splendid, it was at the level of simple flower decoration on the white wall.

“(Mr. Jaegu. How are you?)”

“(Of course. How’s Mr. Harper?)”

I was thinking about how to become friends when there are a lot of people I don’t know, but fortunately Brayden Harper was present.

“(Mr. Harper. Do you know?)”

“(I couldn’t meet Mr. Evans because he didn’t come to the party last time. This is Mr. Kim Jae-goo, who is making an investment business.)”

“(This is Jaegu Kim.)”

“(This is Hugo Evans. I am also interested in investing these days.)”

As we shook hands, Brayden hinted.

“(Being close will help a lot. There are a lot of people I know.)”

“(Thanks for the advice.)”

If you know a lot of people, you can interpret it as someone who has a relationship in politics.

It seemed good to know.

No sooner had Brayden Harper finished speaking, others started talking to Hugo Evans. It was so popular that it was difficult to find the timing for a conversation.

‘I guess Della cared a lot.’

At Della Foster’s party, I could be in the center. It was because she ran the party around me.

Brayden would occasionally throw up his words to join the conversation, but it wasn’t easy to fit into an already formed group.

That is also true of Asians from other countries.

‘But I have a trump card.’

It was information about the sport that will be up tomorrow. Because I had studied the top yielding stocks in advance, I was able to use them as material.

If these people invested with the information they got from me, it might reduce my returns, but that wasn’t the point.

‘It’s more important to imprint myself.’

I hinted at Brayden.

“(This time, there was talk of taking over global bnb from tourpedia.)”

My item was global bnb. It was a company that mainly provided online accommodation reservation services, but there were rumors that it would be acquired by tourpedia.

However, as the gains from acquiring global bnb on the side of tourpedia were not expected to be large, the takeover rumor went under the surface.

In this situation, if global bnb’s stock price rises by 27%, what would it be?

‘It must mean announcing a takeover plan.’

It was a stock that rose 27% in one day.

However, since the market capitalization was 500 billion won, it was not that large, so high profits could not be expected.

“(There are many platforms that can replace global bnb. I don’t think tourpedia will venture out.)”

“(People think that way, so it’s worth investing in. If you invest in global bnb now, you’ll get a lot of benefits.)”

“(Hmm… What do you think, Mr. Hugo?)”

When we talked about investing, Hugo Evans’ eyes turned to us. he scratched his cheek

“(Well, but I guess you’re quite confident.)”

“(This is Jaegu Kim.)”

“(hahahaha. Mr. Jaegu Kim seems to be quite confident.)”

“(I tend to have a good understanding of stocks.)”

“(It’s nice to see a confident young man.)”

The conversation ended there. However, it would have been enough to imprint the global bnb event and my name on everyone.

As the atmosphere, which had been quiet for a moment, started to heat up with small chatter, Brayden Harper asked with a smile.

“(Shall I invest a little too?)”

“(If you invest in a line that is not overdoing it, there will be good results.)”

The door opened and the staff, along with William Carver and Alec Carver, entered the drawing room.

William Carver greeted the guests.

“(You have worked hard to come a long way.)”

It was a laugh made with effort for a picky old man.

Hugo Evans was told.

“(Mullin Mulder. It was very difficult to get on a plane when I was old.)”

“(hahahaha. You’re getting old. You’re still young. You’re staying for a few days while you’re here.)”

“(Heh heh. My wife is waiting for me at home.)”

As the two shuddered, the slightly stiff atmosphere softened.

“(Today, my son will explain. He is also the one who promoted this Vietnam project.)”

“(Thank you for trusting and investing in Carver Company.)”

Alec bowed his head once towards the guests and continued his story.

“(I have prepared a meal for the distinguished guests, so I hope you enjoy listening to it.)”

Simple food suitable for a simple building was placed on the table. Since it was a gathering of wealthy investors, I thought a more spectacular course would come out, but I was a little disappointed that it wasn’t.

“(This course is made with agricultural products grown in Vietnam. Please enjoy it.)”

The first was a sandwich.

The texture of the baguette with thin ham and butter was light. The outer skin was crispy and the inside was soft.

‘Is it a Vietnamese banh mi baguette?’

Hugo opened his mouth.

“(Banmi baguette made with rice flour.)”

“(That’s right. Vietnam is suitable for rice farming. This is an improved variety. How does it taste?)”

“(Not bad.)”

Others nodded at Hugo’s answer.

Then, courses including chicken dishes were served in order. It wasn’t particularly tasty, but it was a dish that fit the palate.

‘It’s pretty good.’

During the meal, Alec Carper briefed us on the progress of the project.

It was said that they established a branch of the Carver Company in Vietnam and signed a contract to purchase the land, and the procedure for importing equipment produced in the United States was also negotiated.

Following the story of hiring locals, crops to grow by region, scale and expected profits, an explanation of the connection with the government continued.

Thanks to the easy-to-understand complex story, it was good to listen to while eating.

Lastly, the dessert, mango, was served, which was twice as large as the mangoes we usually see. When the chef sliced it up and put it on a plate, the staff carried the plate in front of the investors.

The moment the plate was placed in front of me, a sweet scent stung my nose.

‘The smell is no joke.’

When I took a piece with a fork and put it in my mouth, the rich juice wrapped around my tongue along with the firm texture of the flesh. The taste was so strong that mango flavor came out through the nose:

‘My Ha-yeon would like this too.’

After the briefing session, I wanted to buy it.

“(The mango we just served is an improved variety of elephant mango and apple mango, developed independently by our group. How does it taste?)”

“(It’s sweet and soft, but the texture is nice.)”

“(It’s nice that the water doesn’t flow too much.)”

Applause followed.

As he gave instructions to the staff, a luxurious box containing five large mangoes was placed in front of each of them.

“(I’ll give it as a gift.)”

It was satisfying to see a mango the size of two fists joined together. A large mango usually has a core, but without a core, it was very soft.

‘This will sell well.’

It was a taste that Koreans would like. I thought it would be helpful for marketing if I could directly import and enter the store in Daehan Market.

A man who had already emptied his plate asked while wiping his mouth with a napkin.

“(Hmm. It’s delicious. When can this be delivered?)”

“(There are seedlings, but the quantity is small, so you have to wait 3 years for mass deliveries.)”

“(You mean there is a small amount.)”

“(I think I can harvest a small amount next year too.)”

“(I want to sign a contract.)”

“(I also want to sign a contract.)”

What if it turns out that Ha-yeon also got it back anyway and invested in Daehan Market?

I applied because I thought the opportunity would not come again for a while.

Alec gave a soft smile.

“(Mangoes are popular.)”

“(Even if I were a distributor, I would have been aiming for this mango.)”

Brayden helped, and each person added a word. William Carver, who was sitting expressionless, raised the corners of his mouth very slightly.

The briefing session was a success. The business was going well, and no one wanted to recoup the investment.

I think William Carver is glaring at me, but it must be because it’s strange that there aren’t many Asians here.

Social relations didn’t make much progress, but with the help of Alec Carver and Brayden Harper, I was able to get business cards from those in attendance.

I also received the business card of the man who first asked if I could buy mangoes.

It seems like it’s destined to go well with Samana Market.

***

After the briefing session, there was nothing to do, so I went straight home. I received a text message from Elisa Carver on the plane heading to Korea.

[(Didn’t you contact me while you were in the US?)]

[(Minneapolis is far from New York.)]

[(Still, I wanted to see your face.)]

It’s been quite a while since I haven’t seen Elisha. Because I didn’t invite you to Della Foster’s party last time. I couldn’t help it because I didn’t get two tickets.

Since we are business partners, it would be nice to see their faces often, but since we live far away, it was unavoidable.

While I was thinking about what to send, Elisa contacted me first.

[(Please contact me next time.)]

[(Yes I will.)]

After a light conversation with Elisa Carver, I lay down in the first class chair. The moment you fall asleep in a comfortable position.

Jiying.

I heard my phone vibrate in my bag.

‘Who is it?’

I immediately got up and opened the bag. The text message came from B&T Financial’s mobile phone.

‘It’s Han Ho-jae from Daehan Market.’

[We have decided to partner with Savannah Market. Sooner or later, detailed negotiations will be completed and disclosed to the media.]

Work is quick once.
