When he decided to buy 60 acres of land, the deal was a breeze. The real estate agent immediately contacted the owner and signed a contract right there.

“(You bought a really good land.)”

An empty field with nothing is good land. The location was also quite far from Las Vegas.

‘It’s a land I would never have seen if the treasure map hadn’t told me about it.’

When the contract was concluded, the landlord stood up with a relieved expression and held out his hand.

“(I hope your business will prosper.)”

How many people would bury large sums of money in the Mojave Desert, whose purpose is unknown? It seemed like I had heard that there was also a business to collect junk cars and discarded planes in the vast land of the desert.

It becomes a kind of landfill.

“(work hard.)”

As soon as the transaction was completed, Harry Alexander took the paperwork for administrative proceedings. I put a stamp on several power of attorney.

Since the land was purchased under the name of J&H Co., Ltd., it was stamped in the name of the corporation. I felt strange.

‘It feels like being with Hayeon.’

Harry Alexander sorted the papers.

“(Is there anything else that needs to be verified?)”

“(I’m going to mine.)”

“(Mining?)”

“(Yes. Please follow the legal process for mining the purchased land.)”

“(All right.)”

Because I didn’t want to get into legal trouble after the mining was over. He said he was a real estate lawyer at the law firm Sanctuary, so I had no doubts that he would handle it properly.

His reliability, confirmed yesterday, was quite high at 85%. I thought it was good to be introduced to Brayden Harper.

When I told Elisha that I had found a lawyer, I was saddened, but when I heard that the law firm was Sanctuary, I was more than happy.

[Is it Sanctuary? If it’s there, it’s reliable.]

Everyone in the know seemed to know the place. I decided to accept it as a sign that there was such a reputation.

In the afternoon, Fred Balman was supposed to be in Las Vegas. Regarding real estate, Harry Alexander started moving himself, so there was nothing to worry about.

‘It’s annoying to have to do everything by hand.’

The process was getting more and more complex, and there were more things to do, more things to figure out. In particular, since I was close to an outsider in business, I needed several experts, but so far I had only set up a legal team.

‘I’ll have to find a mining company…’

Whether directly hired or outsourced, there was a need to make something large-scale excavation work possible. It was good to find a company on the Internet and contact them, but I needed someone who could handle things a little more neatly.

A person who knows the world well and can take care of things neatly on his own.

When I thought of someone who would do such a thing in America, there was a person that came to mind.

‘Fred Balman.’

The people I knew who were good at it were bigwigs, each running their own business. Or an expert in each field, or Elisa.

I couldn’t ask Elisa, who was running the company well, so I decided to consider the option of using Fred Balman as my assistant.

‘I’m quite old. Seeing what he did last time, he’s pretty good at dealing with people.’

The problem was that I needed to know what kind of person that person was. First of all, I thought it would be good to do a reference check of my colleagues around me.

His colleague I knew was Benjamin Chung, so I called him.

{Yes. president}

It was also a quick response.

“Mr. Benjamin. Is things going well?”

{Sure. However, it seems that the other side is also starting to move.}

“The other side?”

{We are approaching shareholders to prepare a majority director’s vote before entering the shareholders’ meeting. There is a story that someone else has already been approached.}

“Who is your opponent?”

{Everyone keeps their mouths shut…}

He paused for a while.

{As far as I know, it seems to be Dokgoeul.}

“okay.”

Dokgo. He was Dok-go-jeong’s older brother. Unlike Dok-go-jeong, he knew that he had not yet been pushed out of the battle for the successor.

that he moves.

‘It means that Dokgo Jin is also moving.’

I expected it to be so, but after clearing the dock, the Dokgo group approached the mountain. If Dokgo Commerce is kept alive, Dokgojeong will come back and take its place again, but I wanted to prevent that.

I was quite close with CEO Han Ho-jae, and I didn’t want to see Dok-go-jeong make a comeback.

‘I have no choice but to fight.’

It was heartbreaking and refreshing at the same time. It was a headache because I couldn’t properly organize Dokgojeong without defeating Dokgojin, but it was no different than a declaration of war by the other side.

“I already knew.”

It was because I expected this that I commissioned Titanium Security, hired a large number of people, and even bought a safe house in New York.

{What should I do?}

“If we merge with Daehan Market, Dokgo Commerce’s share price will go up. The profits from it will be significant.”

Dokgo Commerce’s share price has now fallen to the 6,000 won range, and it has eaten up the pouring volume. Thanks to quite a lot of ants who thought that they would not be able to recover anyway, the stakes were being neatly organized.

I turned on the program and bet more to purchase items under 7,000 won in installments.

“Looking at today’s article, it seems that the possibility of a merger between Dokgo Commerce and Daehan Market is low.”

{That’s right.}

“I guess Dokgo is paying attention.”

I don’t know if Dokgojin himself came forward, but the opinion that he would hold the Dokgo Group accountable was covered by a new scandal.

[Famous rapper J’s affair. Is the other woman a celebrity?]

[‘The calm cat climbs the stove first.’ Innocent actress Moon Ji-woo covets someone else’s man.]

‘It must have been Dokgo’s hand.’

The entertainment media stockpiled articles related to the private lives of famous celebrities to cover up when something big happened. Then, when a request came in, he would choose an appropriate one and explode it.

The affair scandal between rapper J, who is currently raising the highest stock price, and an up-and-coming young actress has heated up the world. Thanks to this, the attention of people who were heading to the Dokgo group shifted to the scandal between the two.

‘I’ll do whatever I want for a while.’

There is still time left until Dok-go-jeong’s trial. Around that time, I decided to light the fire again.

‘I have a card too.’

It was an affair scandal between Dok-go-jeong and an idol singer, which was secured when investigating Dok-go-jeong. Is there an article that can overcome the scandal that an idol 17 years younger than him and a criminal were dating?

It was time to finish the call as the appointment time with Fred Balman approached.

“Mr. Benjamin. What kind of person is Mr. Fred Balman?”

{Chief Balman? You are my master. It looks like you’ve been working with him.}

Has it not been delivered yet?

‘no. I don’t think there was any need to deliver it.’

{Trust me and leave it to me. Because he is better at negotiating than me.}

Benjamin’s laughter could be heard over the phone.

“You seem to be doing a better job than Mr. Benjamin.”

{I’m better at blackmailing.}

I just got chills down my spine.

“How about as an aide?”

{If you do, you’re lucky. You can trust and entrust it.}

If Benjamin Chung has gone this far, I’ll have to talk about it. After hanging up the phone, someone knocked on the door.

A bodyguard approached and identified him.

“(Fred Balman.)”

“(Ask me to come in.)”

When the door opened, Fred Balman strode in, dressed in a light traveler’s outfit. He flew from New York to sign a contract as soon as possible.

“(Mr. Kim. Long time no see.)”

“(It’s been a week. Mr. Balman.)”

He smiled and hugged naturally. Swept away by the atmosphere, I patted him on the back without realizing it. He was a man who somehow made me feel like an old colleague.

“(This is a contract gift.)”

Fred Balman took a folder from his bag and handed it to him.

“(This.)”

I sat down on the sofa and checked the contents. It contained information related to real estate tycoon Zach Gardner. Although there were no detailed data yet, there were several real estate development projects suspected of corruption.

he laughed out loud

“(Sorry if I guessed wrong.)”

“(No. Not bad.)”

The more information about the enemy, the better.

“(And there’s talk that another lot is being considered, but I haven’t figured it out yet.)”

“(Is it a development project?)”

“(I’m not sure.)”

Ugh… Shall we buy land nearby and suck honey together?

“(Do you usually give something like this as a contract gift?)”

“(Of course. When I’m bored because I haven’t been asked to do anything by the client, I’m looking for information that I think I’ll need.)”

Talented people who find work on their own are very rare.

“(Very nice.)”

“(thank you.)”

He covered the papers and placed them on the table.

“(Shall we talk while eating something? The room service here is quite good.)”

“(Is that right? I eat just about anything.)”

“(Then I will order.)”

It was something to eat while chatting, so I ordered a sandwich and a drink. Anything left over could be given to the bodyguards, so we ordered different kinds of sandwiches.

After a while, room service arrived and the bodyguards received it and set it on the table.

“(Let’s do it while eating.)”

Isn’t there a saying that if you want to work, you have to fill your stomach first. After eating some food, I decided to get to the main topic.

“(Speaking of the contract, is there anything you would like to revise?)”

“(Heh heh. Which part are you talking about?)”

“(Could you be my personal assistant?)”

“(Aide?)”

He narrowed his brow slightly.

It wasn’t an opponent I could win head-to-head anyway. A sincere appeal could move his heart.

“(As you know, I don’t know much about business in the United States. I’ve been looking for a company to seek legal advice, but I’m in a situation where I lack a business network or the ability to manage a company. I need someone to help me with this.)”

“(Wouldn’t it be better to hire a professional manager?)”

He took a sip of his drink and paused for a moment. Then he opened his mouth.

“(Management is better left to experts.)”

“(For each company, I plan to hire a professional employee. The problem is that it is not easy to find people who will conduct research and find and organize key people to establish the company.)”

“(If that’s the case, we can help as much as we like. If you tell us what you’re looking for, we’ll find it for you.)”

I like the confident look in his eyes.

“(A while ago, you said that in your free time, you are looking for materials that will be helpful to the client.)”

“(That’s right.)”

“(Wouldn’t you like to think about what to do to make the client’s business go well in your spare time?)”

It was no different from what I do now. Because I just wanted you to take care of things immediately right next to me.

“(Is there a big difference from what you do now?)”

“(The difference is that Fred Balman is always there to take care of me.)”

“(You mean responding by changing priorities according to real-time requests.)”

“(That’s correct.)”

He paused for a while.

“(Is it difficult?)”

“(I’m sure it will take more hands.)”

“(I am willing to pay the extra fee.)”

“(Enough?)”

“(How much do you want?)”

“(How about five million dollars?)”

Fred Balman met my eyes with a playful smile.

“(great.)”

His eyebrows twitched slightly as he immediately picked up a pen and rewrote the numbers on the contract. It was a very fleeting moment.

I tried using the Eye of Trust to see if I had changed my mind.

[Reliability 90%]

‘There’s no reason to hate an employer who pays a lot.’

***

While Harry Alexander went through the legal process to acquire mining rights, Fred Balman compiled a list of companies suitable for mining.

“(We have selected companies without corruption. Considering companies located near Las Vegas, this company looks good from a price point of view. However, considering reliability…)”

Fred meticulously explained the list of companies.

‘As expected, I think I did well to hire him as an aide.’

“(So the companies I recommend are this company, this company, and this company.)”

His fingers were busy running through the names of companies.

Anyway, the investigation is all done by Fred Balman,

Shouldn’t you trust my people?

“(Among the companies you just recommended, let’s choose the one that can start construction the fastest.)”

With a satisfied expression, he pointed out one of the recommended companies.

“(If you sign a contract today, construction can start the day after tomorrow.)”

According to Fred’s explanation, ‘Dennis Mine’ said that the copper mine he had been mining until recently had run out of reserves and his business had all stopped.

In a word, it was said that the manpower was playing.

“(Please sign the contract as soon as possible.)”

Fred Balman immediately called the company and reported it to me.

“(They say you can come here in 30 minutes.)”

“(Let’s see it in the lobby.)”
