225: Scream and see (9)

“What, what…? I asked you to lower the debt-to-equity ratio to 10%, are you crazy?”

The new representative of the creditors jumped and went mad. The other people sitting around also hardened their faces at the other side’s suggestion.

“now! Once you calm down Please listen to me to the end.”

“What do you hear? Are there all these thieves? Do you think the people will understand the proposal now?”

They tried to set the tone for the negotiation, but once they got excited, they purposely shouted louder.

“Are taxes included in the funds of this business? As far as I know, there are none at all, but why are you talking about the people?”

“Hey! If you want to do business in Korea, you have to consider the public sentiment. Even if it’s my money, I can’t use it as I want. Come and know something!”

The opposing party pushed forward with a double act. As always, negotiations are bound to end in vain unless they are planned out in advance.

So, negotiating alone did not solve the problem. Perhaps the negotiation itself was a performance to deceive the public.

“ruler! Let’s do that enough to set the mood, and now let’s get into full-fledged negotiations. To be clear, this negotiation was opened because of your ejaculation.”

Brian, who had been quietly listening, said, holding his weight. He acted loosely in front of Cheol-woo, but he was a tycoon who shook the New York real estate world.

The reason Steve left this place was because he trusted him. He was no match for this kind of desk bite to him, who was even shooting at a construction site.

“Even so, there is no such thing as a minimum standard! Does it make sense to ask for 90% of the debt to be reduced?”

“Then you all carry those coals… If you sell junk that you can’t use and the cost goes up, who will buy it? Will the people you mention buy it?”

“If you file for bankruptcy as you were going to do, you won’t be able to save even with that 10%. At least we shouldn’t have to do risk management. It’s not something that sells well, and how much money are you guys going to get from filing for bankruptcy and even going on fire?”

No one could honestly answer Brian’s harsh words. I don’t know whose head it came from, but it was the worst choice to spread the rumors of filing for bankruptcy.

Even though I was able to get a scrap price, it was a plate that had to be disposed of at the cost of throwing out garbage again because of a fire.

They struggled to raise the price somehow, but everyone here knew that the hilt had already been handed over to G Company.

“It’s 10%…, that seems too much…”

“It means that the risk on our side is that big.”

While the creditors raised their voices and were doing the show, Min-tae and Mingyu were secretly meeting with Steve. The two, who could not openly act as creditors because of their faces, offered to negotiate with Steve through Cheol-woo.

If the creditors were negotiating with their stomachs open, they blew up the knives hidden in their mouths in a calm atmosphere. After all, the real negotiations were taking place here.

“20%…! I will accept that.”

“Hmm···! So, what if 10% is paid in cash and the rest is deferred for 10 years?”

“What are you going to do with interest?”

“Of course, it is interest-free. What we can yield is 10%. Even if we take over Pharaoh, the amount of money it will take to normalize it will not be huge.”

Min-tae and Ming-kyu’s heads turned violently. Even if they had to share 10% of the cash to be paid right away with creditors, they could not fill half of the gap.

He couldn’t wait for the money to come in 10 years later. If it had been normal for such nonsensical conditions, I would have left my seat right away.

But now they had to fill some big holes before Chairman Kang returned.

The two brothers looked at each other as if matched.

If there was no other side, it was worth acknowledging their condition. But even the money they would receive now was a plate that the two of them had to share.

‘If it weren’t for that guy…’

The brothers thought the same thing. He had to drive out his opponent somehow to get the slush fund and the next president-elect.

Looking at the two of them, Steve smiled inwardly. He had already heard of the relationship between the two of them from Cheol-woo, so it was clear how to use them to eat.

But his agile boss was aiming for something bigger. The moment the boss bites the bait, they will wear a dog collar around their neck.

“I am willing to accept the debt as a condition. But there is one condition.”

“You tell me.”

“Please pay us in advance.”

“…to the two of you first?”

“That’s right.”

“Then there will be a lot of opposition from other people?”

“So, I want you to do it secretly. We will take care of any problems that arise later.”

The two brothers have already kissed each other. Creditors and Nabal, I had to live with them first.

Despite being reviled later, now they have had to fill a hole in the money line. All efforts so far could be in vain if they were to be accused of breach of trust or embezzlement.

“That is impossible!”

“why not? It would be satisfactory from that point of view, and it wouldn’t cost extra money…”

“It is. But you’ve done too much to do that kind of back deal. So, aren’t they putting on a funny show over there? If you really wanted a solution like that, you shouldn’t have used the media this way. We don’t want any more gossip. Whatever investment you make, you are in a position to continue doing business on this land…”

Steve flatly declined their offer. The reason for the refusal was due to the creditors’ fault.

‘You’re like a fucking sage….’

The two men, who remembered the inspiration of Park, sharpened their molars. They ostracized them and did all kinds of things, and they used all sorts of tricks to keep them from harming themselves.

And the aftermath was now affecting them. Despite this situation, the two had nowhere to retreat.

“We are also responsible for the media…”

“no. We can’t just put our company’s brand value on something like this. I have neither the authority nor the doctors to do that.”

“Then what are you talking about?”

“If we don’t accept the conditions I’ve put forward, we have no choice but to withdraw our hands. It’s a place to invest because it’s overflowing all over the world. Even if we look at the ASEAN side right now, it is well worth the investment.”

I had nothing to object to. All the money and the cause belonged to the other party.

All that was left now was to decide whether to accept his offer or not. And after accepting the proposal, they had to think about what to do with them.

“How about this suggestion?”

“…what kind of suggestion…?”

Steve, who was watching them with a serious expression, threw the bait. Again, they could not have pointed numbers, and they pricked up their ears.

“In business, there are times when you need an emergency. It seems to me that both of you are like that…?”

Steve smiled softly and muttered his words. Around his skillful horse, the two almost nodded their heads.

“Hurry! Are you still talking?”

“Well, it’s like my experience, so don’t worry too much. Anyway, if the two of them want, G Company can provide a guarantee for the two of them. The collateral would be a 10-year bond.”

“Are you asking us to take a loan?”

“In other words, it is. In some places, you can get a loan just in our name. haha!”

“But we want a covert deal. No one should know for at least a few months…”

“Hmm! So, the first financial sector won’t work. Because I know only one second financial sector in Korea… This is true!”

Steve looked annoyed. But at his words, the two brothers’ ears pricked up even more.

“If it’s a second financial sector…”

“ah! There is a place I knew to advance into Korea. As you may know, we also focus on casinos, so secret financial transactions are essential…”

“Can I know the name of that place?”

“Sure. It’s a very legal place, so it shouldn’t be a problem. It’s called a savings bank. Since we are in Korea, the two of you may know better.”

“We are hearing it for the first time. But how much can I borrow from there…?”

“You have to be able to afford at least hundreds of billions of units to do business with us. I know it well because I checked it myself. I will be sure.”

At Steve’s words, the two’s complexions brightened remarkably. Maybe he could get enough money to fill all the funding holes.

Thanks to Park and Chuck Jin, it was impossible to reach out to the existing bond market. There is no collateral now, and even the 1st and 2nd financial institutions did not lend large amounts of money.

But, unexpectedly, he made such an offer. There was no one who hated being in debt with a chaebol.

Debt was an ability and an asset.

“Can I check how much loan I can get?”

“So, are you going to conclude as we suggested?”

“If I get a loan to my satisfaction, I’ll agree to the offer. We will take responsibility for the consent of the creditors as well.”

“OK! Then we will find out.”

Steve smiled and picked up the receiver. The two, who saw it, held hands, wishing, ‘Please, I hope you don’t have anything to do with Park.’

“Howdy! It’s easy.”

“Baby, how many days have passed?”

Kim Sang-yoon, who entered the meat restaurant, smiled at Hwang Moon-gi, who was sitting there first. The place they met was at the Pork Lid Pork Belly House near Cheol-Woo’s house.

“Who is Minseok?”

“I said I was a little late. He also returned to work as soon as he was released and seems to be struggling to catch up. How about you?”

“It’s me, I’m not the guy I used to work for, so I haven’t even slept after getting used to it. He was rather trying to do a job he had never done before, so the employees below him couldn’t adapt. Huh!”

The shopkeeper brought them a glass of soju and a glass of water to them as they sat at the round table. He even sent a glance that urged the order.

“Wait, the party hasn’t come yet, so we’ll place our order in a little bit…”

While the two were delaying their orders, Manho in a bakery uniform entered the store. The owner greeted him with a squint in his eyes as if he knew him.

“president! Here’s pork belly for 5 people, soju, two bottles of soju, please.”

Sang-yoon, who saw all the numbers, immediately placed the order he had been putting off. There were three men, and the owner gave a strange expression to the sound of only one bottle of soju.

“I am a little late.”

“No, we just came first. But what are you like? It’s as if you’ve been running for a part-time job anywhere…”

“It’s true that you came from a part-time job. Ever since I was kicked out of my house, I have been working part-time at the bakery in front of me. Huh!”

“No, no matter how many children you put out. Does the only bloodline of Geumdong Construction work part-time at a bakery?”

“It was a job I was grateful for because I had no stamina because I was drowsy. Please understand that even if I have a seat empty because I am going to the island…”

“Well, then there is nothing to say… Anyway, should I go home now?”

While the three of them were talking, a fire plate was raised, and disheveled side dishes were placed around the table. And Moongi, who was holding a bottle of soju, asked Sangyun and Manho, pouring a glass each.

“Great! Also, this taste… I have no intention of going home.”

“Then do you plan on living with a part-time job like this?”

“No, I have to take over the company business slowly. Even my dead brother seems to want that…”

“Then where are you going to sleep?”

“At the end of this alley is Cheol-woo’s building. I live in that building for rent now, and I plan to commute here for the time being.”

“What, what…. Was this Professor Jang’s neighborhood? So let’s meet here…”

“No, it wasn’t me who asked to meet here, it was Minseok hyung. He also lives in the same building as me.”

Min-seok, who had been in the mouths of the three, entered the store just in time. He was dressed in construction work clothes.

“Hey, look at that. The third president of Kang-ho’s group is almost finished with ten pieces of construction. Catch it!”

“What is different about us?”

All of them have only one title of president or director. However, he was drinking soju at a small pot-covered meat restaurant.

As they checked each other’s changed appearance, they did not hate each other. I liked the way I look now more than before when I was drinking medicine in the room.
