“Daddy!!!”

As soon as we met in the hotel lobby, Ha-yeon came running with open arms. I picked it up and hugged it.

“Is Hayeon here?”

“Yes! The meal on the plane was delicious!”

“I’m glad it’s delicious.”

“And! I ate a hamburger at the airport and it was delicious! And! There are so many foreigners here!”

As if she had a lot to say while she couldn’t see her, Ha-yeon poured out her words without stopping. In the past, I would have told him to stop because he was tired, but I didn’t want to do that this time, so I listened to the story to the end.

You can have a conversation just by listening.

“It’s nice to meet you, Dad.”

Hayeon hugged me by the nape of my neck and buried my face in it. It’s quite heavy, but it’s still worth holding on to.

‘I need to do some exercise.’

Maybe it was because I was so busy that I couldn’t even exercise properly, so my arms were shaking right away. Putting Ha-yeon down on the floor, he lowered his posture and met his eyes.

“I should also look at the hotel room.”

“yes!”

“My mother and father also went through a lot to come.”

“What is suffering?”

“I really liked the seat on the plane.”

It was rewarding to get the first seat.

“You must have been tired from coming a long way, so please go in and rest.”

After simply checking in at the reception, everyone went up to the suite on the 36th floor. Modernly decorated, the spacious room overlooks Central Park through the floor-to-ceiling windows.

“Oops. It’s high.”

“The park is large.”

My parents seemed to like the view and went straight to the window to see Central Park. Like a child, Ha-yeon wandered around the room, found a large bed, and threw herself into it.

“Dad! It’s so fluffy in here!”

“Is it better than a bed at home?”

When I bought a new bed, I deliberately bought an expensive one.

Ha-yeon shut her mouth for a moment and was lost in thought. The child laughed softly.

“No! I like the house!”

“Isn’t it? Daddy chose hard.”

“Yeah! I love what my dad bought for me.”

Hayeon clung to me again. stroked her hair

“Now, let’s go see America with grandparents.”

“yes!”

After resting for a while at the hotel, I went around America with my family. Thanks to a personal tour program booked through a local Korean travel agency, I was able to visit every nook and cranny without difficulty.

When I visited Burger Joint and showed them the taste of the mainland New York hamburger, Ha-yeon opened her eyes wide.

“delicious!”

“Isn’t it? Eat a lot.”

“Yes!”

Not sure where to fit in that small body, Ha-yeon ate two burgers in one sitting. Still, the parents wanted to buy more, but the child patted the stomach and made a comfortable expression.

“Now I’m full.”

“I’m glad.”

Fortunately, my parents also enjoyed the hamburgers.

We stayed in New York for a few days and went sightseeing here and there. During the daytime on weekdays, I had a picnic with my family in Central Park and went to visit the Statue of Liberty and climbed it.

The huge statue of the goddess given as a gift from France to commemorate the 100th anniversary of American independence has now become a landmark representing New York.

I was able to go up to the balcony at the feet of the goddess statue by using an elevator, but I couldn’t go up because I had to make a reservation three months in advance to go up.

However, there was a story that the stairs were dangerous, so I thought it was fortunate that I couldn’t climb them.

While staying in New York for a few days, I also caught up on the trends of Daehan Market and Dokgo Group while spending quality time with my family.

‘Because now is an important point.’

Daehan Market started aggressive consumer-oriented marketing, and Dokgo Commerce also started marketing with famous celebrities to avoid losing.

‘Hmm… Why don’t we include a celebrity as well?’

Della Foster’s face passed by, but I couldn’t ask for it because I hadn’t filmed a music video yet.

‘We need a new face too.’

Dokgo Commerce’s share price has not risen much, probably because celebrity marketing hasn’t seen the light of day yet.

Rather, the sale of gift certificates became very popular on Pompu, a consumer site, and began to spread. The power of word of mouth that the same item could be purchased at 10% cheaper was great.

Sales of gift certificates in Daehan Market exceeded 50 billion in just three days after launch. Considering that gift certificates can only be used within the Daehan Market, it was tantamount to securing 50 billion won in sales.

‘More people will come in in the future.’

It wasn’t a system created from the beginning hoping for a jackpot. It was more important than anything else for customers who used it to find it again. It attracts customers with gift certificates and catches them with points.

5% of the purchase amount is credited back to the reserve. The validity period is 6 months. Because it is set to a period that is neither too fast nor too long, consumers will find Daehan Market again within six months.

‘That’s six months. If it becomes a habit, then it’s a breeze.’

People habitually made purchases on the platforms they used. So, it was more important than anything else to keep customers tied to the site.

And Han Ho-jae should know that method better than me. Part of what I requested had already been taken into account, so if I left him to do the rest, it would be fine.

‘Very good so far.’

Celebrity marketing also worked when the image was good. In a situation where corruption has already exploded and the image has been abandoned, it is not very helpful.

Rather, it only had the opposite effect of being plastered with malicious comments on celebrity bulletin boards.

[How much money do you get for this job?]

[Dondogwon X]

[I am boycotting the goods advertised by this actor]

It’s a pitiful thing, but I hope that you will endure it with evil because it is Dokgo Commerce that you chose.

I checked Dokgo Commerce’s stock price. Last Friday’s share price closed at 12,100 won. It was now down to 10,900 won.

‘It must taste like dying alone.’

The share price, which was 15,800 won before the controversy broke out, fell by -31% in less than a week. This could be considered carpet bombing.

‘The box change and refurbished delivery are the biggest controversies.’

The treatment of workers is also important, but problems that can directly harm consumers were popular. The videos uploaded by cyber lekkers pointed out the problem of changing boxes, and there were also interviews saying that refurbished or returned items were repackaged.

‘I didn’t have to find the evidence myself.’

If you sprinkle a little bit of rice cake, the fish will bite and tear it off. When attacking a company with a lot of corruption, it is only my role to give a priming water to create public opinion in the first place.

If it’s a conflict between chaebols, you may fear retaliation from the other party, but how much do ordinary part-timers know about dokgo groups?

They confessed what they had suffered, and as befits an era in which smartphones are a necessity, boring evidence videos were poured out.

Now, the circumstantial evidence of Dokgo Group’s corruption has become evidence against which accusations can be made.

‘I’m not directly shooting Dokgojeong, but…’

Anyone in a position to meet Dokgo Jeong knows what it means to snip them. I will not move recklessly.

‘First of all, let’s secure the stake.’

The current price is 10,900 won. At first, I decided to buy a stake.

The capital of overseas accounts was distributed in advance. Each account contained about 100 billion won of capital, and each of the two main accounts had about 400 billion won.

Since the market capitalization of Dokgo Commerce had fallen to around 216 billion won, I started buying it. Each company has a program to purchase up to 180,000 shares at a price of less than 11,000 won.

‘What will happen in the future?’

This was enough to give Choi Ji-hoon enough power at the shareholders’ meeting. Dokgo Metal, a holding company, is also set to be purchased for 10 billion won each.

‘This will be my weapon from now on.’

If the competitor was an assault force charging from the front, the stake was no different from a spy holding back from the inside. No matter how strong the castle was, it could not withstand cracks from within.

‘That’s why I shouldn’t have lived a good life.’

“You stupid bastard!”

His angry voice echoed in Dokgojin’s study. Normally, his sons would not visit his study on weekdays, but today was different.

Due to the urgent call of Dokgojin, not only Dokgojeong, but also Dokgogap and Dokgoeul were called to the study. The second son, Dokgo-eul, who was brought to the study because of his younger brother, whom he did not like, was very uncomfortable.

‘Because of that asshole, do I have to cancel dinner and come here?’

Dokgojeong knelt down and wept tears.

The eldest son Dokgo-gap glanced at him with an expressionless face and then kept his mouth shut.

“Dokgogap! What do you think?”

The public execution came.

The three brothers are like rivals fighting over stakes. That’s why it was usually forbidden to gossip about the other person in front of his father.

[Don’t be shy, prove it with your skills]

These were the words that Dokgo-jin emphasized and emphasized.

However, if you ask him what he thinks, the head of Dokgo Group, the story will change. It was no different from giving me a chance to say the words I usually kept in my heart.

“First of all, I think restoring the image of Dokgo Commerce is the first step. Cut off the tail first.”

Dokgojin’s eyes sharpened.

“That’s right. Restoring the image comes first. It’s something that the entire Dokgo Group shouldn’t suffer because of what an idiot did.”

“Cut down more.”

Dokgojeong’s eyes widened. His eyes were swollen from crying out loud after being beaten several times, but it was enough to tell that he was quite surprised.

“You mean to give your brother a chance?”

“There should be no image that a member of Dokgo’s group committed infidelity. If I had to cut it, it would be after selling it in the family register. If you want, I’ll move it.”

A small smile appeared on Dokgo Jin’s lips. No matter how pissed off he may be, a son is a son. In the end, the only thing he could trust was his family.

But if you’re a guy who doesn’t even have the ability to become a family, things will be different.

“It’s okay. You stay still.”

“Yes. Father.”

“Did you hear?”

Dokgojin tapped Dokgojeong on the head. Dokgojeong bit her lip.

“Yes···.”

“What do you hear?”

“I’ll cut off the tail and organize it well.”

Pak! Pak!

The palm of the robber, who did not know if he was patting or hitting, flew into Dokgojeong’s head.

“Yes. Let’s do it well.”

“Yes. Father.”

After a week of fun overseas family trip, I came back home. It wasn’t until Saturday evening that I was able to get home, but Ha-yeon fell off the plane and couldn’t get up, probably because she was tired.

“Thanks to you, I enjoyed it.”

It was a course made with money from A to Z, so I felt very comfortable. I was happy because my parents were happy too.

“What? Sometimes we go out to play with the family like this.”

“But don’t overdo it.”

“I have a lot of money now.”

During the trip, a large amount of money of 300 billion was accumulated in my account alone. Overseas travel expenses were nothing but new blood.

“You must be tired from your trip, so have a good night’s sleep.”

“Yes. Rest well, too.”

“(Everyone take turns and get some rest.)”

“(Yes. Boss.)”

***

Monday morning.

After a long time, I went to my office in Gangnam.

“Good morning everyone!”

As soon as I entered the office with a souvenir, Han Kyung-ah started to yell at me.

“Welcome, boss. I’m afraid I’ll forget your face.”

“Ha ha. How’s work going?”

“Logic development is there and there.”

“Brother. Are you here?”

Choi Ji-hoon greeted me in a bright voice. The fact that his voice and pronunciation have become clearer than before must have been the effect of the speech academy.

“Son. Has your voice improved?”

“You look good.”

“Yes. I had a good rest. This is a souvenir for you guys.”

“A souvenir?”

Han Kyung-ah jumped up from her seat and approached me. When they took out a lot of nutrients, the expressions of the two became strange.

“Is it a nutritional supplement?”

“Are you guys taking nutritional supplements?”

“Nope.”

“You’re still young…”

They were both still in their 20s, so it was understandable. But stamina is national strength. If you don’t take care of it in advance, you will suffer in your later years.

“Vitamins, omega 3, and lactobacillus. To be together for a long time, you have to take care of your health.”

“Thank you, boss.”

“I’ll eat well.”

After all, are young people good at electronic devices? However, it was impossible to buy electronic devices every time I went on a business trip.

“Rather than that. Jihoon-ah, is the speech worth it?”

“Yes. I think it’s quite interesting to talk now.”

“Really? Good.”

“Thanks to my brother.”

He scratched the back of his head with an innocent face.

“Then sit down.”

“Yes.”

We sat facing each other on the sofa. Han Kyung-ah also sat down together and became three people facing each other.

“Jihoon-ah.”

“Yes. Brother.”

“I have something for you to do from now on.”

Now I need to sort out Dokgo Commerce.
