[Gwacheon theme park approval process passed!]

[Groundbreaking ceremony early next month!]

Articles like this caused excitement in Seoul and Gwacheon.

Finally, a world-class theme park, Disneyland, will be built.

The estimated completion time is also very fast.

This is because the entire process did not start from zero base, but rather the work of changing existing parks and theme park sites.

Since all convenience facilities such as transportation and parking are already in place, it was possible to shorten the construction to an extent that was incomparable to the existing theme park construction.

New World Group vice chairman Kim Jong-hak declared that Gwacheon would become a world-class tourist city.

However, this was a confidence with a clear basis.

first. In the area near the theme park, a ‘stay-type complex tourist destination’ such as a resort, shopping mall, dome stadium, etc. was planned to be built.

second. The GTX route has passed preliminary testing and construction is already underway, so accessibility to Seoul and Incheon airports is better.

third. Nexple joins this huge project.

The company is already building a super-large new building where all affiliates can move in. In addition, it plans to develop a full-fledged entertainment business using its own IP and Disney IP.

A super-large project that started to attract worldwide attention!

There were three people to note here.

New World Group Vice Chairman Kim Jong-hak.

Nexple Chairman Yoo Jin-seong.

and Taeyeon Yoo.

‘huh? me?’

“and! Oppa’s face came out!”

Taeyeon’s face appeared on the evening news and Kim Yuna was in a frenzy.

Taeyeon, who was watching the news, scratched her forehead in embarrassment.

‘Is there any reason for me to be noticed in that project?’

He plans to participate in theme park content planning, and although he is the CEO of Nepple, he is not involved in the overall operation of the park. It was because there was a separate company in charge.

It was ‘Dream Theater’, an operating institution established by consortium groups with joint shares.

In it, he is only one of the content developers, and the employees working together in the company are only those he hired to write the proposal.

‘No matter how much I think about it, there’s no reason for my name to be mentioned… … .’

The executive directors of ‘Dream Theater’, which should receive attention, were not even mentioned.

The news anchor’s comments continued.

-In this project, which will invest a total of 10 trillion won, the effect of inducing production and added value will reach 80 trillion won, and the effect of hiring more than 150,000 people… … .

-Let’s have dinner together tonight.

After being contacted by Vice Chairman Kim Jong-hak, Taeyeon visited a luxury house in Seopangyo.

“Welcome!”

Han Seol-ah, the wife of vice chairman Kim Jong-hak and once the most beautiful actress, came out to meet me. Unlike Yoona, who clung to her with joy, Taeyeon politely bowed her head.

“See you again.”

“Ugh, stop doing things that make you feel distant… … .”

In the kitchen, Vice Chairman Kim Jong-hak was cooking in an apron.

“Oh, are you here? sit down It will be over soon.”

As if familiar, Taeyeon took off her suit jacket and hung it on a hanger in the guest room, put an apron on top of her dress shirt, and joined the kitchen.

“Are you okay?”

“We are here to help.”

“Hey, the smell of meat sucks!”

“It doesn’t matter.”

“That’s true… … .”

Even as he clicks his tongue, his eyes toward Taeyeon are full of smiles. They were two men who recently had a hobby of cooking for their wives. They communicate so well that they cook together like brothers in the kitchen.

It was a barbecue party.

The deliciously browned beef will make your mouth water.

“It tastes much better this way.”

As always, Taeyeon took care of Yoona first, and Vice Chairman Kim Jong-hak did the same.

After the meal, a full-fledged conversation began while drinking the finest tea that was said to have come from Germany.

“You represent Dream Theater.”

“Cool!”

Taken aback, Taeyeon coughed. All three of them stare at the scene curiously.

“It’s been a while since I’ve seen Taeyeon-ssi flustered like that.”

“I am also curious.”

Taeyeon asked in bewilderment, unable to even control her blushing face.

“What do you mean? suddenly… … .”

“Do you know who the current CEO is?”

“yes. Aren’t you the managing director Kim Yeong-shik, who oversaw the New World Group’s cultural division?”

bite the tongue

“I cut that person.”

“… … yes?”

He pretends to cut his throat with his index finger.

“Cut it. I was just caught trying to get money in the name of outsourcing.”

“ah… … .”

“There was a hint of that from before, but I was watching because his ability was so good. You’ve worked together a few times, so don’t you know?”

Managing Director Kim Young-sik.

He was a really competent leader who oversaw the theme park project.

He had excellent knowledge in all fields and showed delicate and sophisticated project control reminiscent of a computer.

“I warned you indirectly a few times in the past, but only then it was quiet… … This time, I tried to cross the line a little harder, so I grabbed the evidence and threw it away.”

“… … Aren’t there many outstanding talents in the New World Group, even if it’s not him?”

He shook his head.

“No one catches my eye.”

“No way… … .”

“To be precise, I don’t see a person in charge who fits the purpose. What is the significance of Dream Theater’s existence? It’s fun. Isn’t it to give the audience an amazing experience that they can’t experience in everyday life?”

Taeyeon nodded.

“I think so. The director of Dream Theater should be someone who is good at ‘fun’ above all else.”

“… … .”

“People who are simply good at running an organization and administrative work do not deserve to sit in that position. hey, think about it A person who studied all his life and worked for a company would suddenly become a game producer. that’s your friend Will you dry it or not?”

“It will dry.”

“That’s it. okay. Well, there are a lot of talented people in our company. There are definitely people who can do it to some extent if you entrust it to them. But you can’t keep the status quo. We need someone who can work out the big picture and play a more sophisticated navigation role for tens of thousands of employees. And crucially… … .”

His gaze pierces Taeyeon.

“It has to be someone ‘we’ can trust. A person who is capable, knows how to admit his own shortcomings, and knows how to do his best to make up for them. And a person who has excellent management skills in organizations of various sizes and excellent practical skills.”

His hand points to Taeyeon.

“That is you. I even have experience as a CEO of a large company. Performance and internal evaluation are also very good.”

Shrug your shoulders.

“There is no reason to worry any more.”

The atmosphere got heavy.

Han Seol-ah and Kim Yoon-ah watched and quietly drank tea.

It was because the scale of the story that came and went was so huge.

“I will treat you well so you won’t be disappointed, so think about it.”

way back by car.

Taeyeon asked.

“what do you think about it?”

“Your brother is already the CEO of a huge corporation called Nexple. That alone would be tough enough… … Can you handle it?”

“… … .”

“I know that my brother has a special side, but… … .”

After thinking for a while, Yuna Kim shook her head.

“It’s too big to do both. I don’t want to see my older brother push himself any further.”

she was adamant

Apart from profit, he was only thinking of Taeyeon’s safety.

Taeyeon also nodded.

“I also thought it was difficult to handle. Above all… … .”

Taeyeon smiled at Yoona.

“More than anything, I hate having less time to be with you.”

“… … .”

Leaving behind the speechless Yoona, Taeyeon called vice president Kim Jong-hak.

And he said it calmly.

“It’s a tough proposition to afford. I will refuse.”

* * *

Vice Chairman Kim Jong-hak appeared at the headquarters of Neckple Pangyo.

“uh? Isn’t that person Vice Chairman Kim Jong-hak?”

“I guess that’s right… … What happened?”

He caught everyone’s attention from the moment he appeared, and as soon as he arrived at Taeyeon’s office, he changed his mind.

“How can you be so cold-hearted? It’s a proposal I made after much thought, shouldn’t I pretend to think about it? Why do you refuse as soon as you walk out the door?”

“Isn’t time the most valuable asset for someone like you? He also hates procrastination.”

“It is, but… … .”

“It’s a proposal that I’ve been thinking really hard about.”

Vice Chairman Kim Jong-hak sighed at the calm appearance.

“Let’s ask the reason for the refusal. Why?”

The answer he received afterwards was completely beyond his expectations.

“I don’t like it when I spend less time with Yoona.”

“… … .”

He questioned his own hearing and asked again.

“what?”

“It’s because I feel like I’m going to spend all my youth and make Yoona lonely.”

“… … under.”

He let out a deep sigh with a puzzled face.

“Wow, my head is spinning. It feels like I’ve been hit with a punch.”

“sorry.”

“I recognized you from the first time I saw you. When he found out that I was close with Mr. Jesu, he couldn’t hide his envy… … .”

Taeyeon also smiled.

“There were definitely times when that was the case.”

“Hey, it’s not a story from the distant past. It wasn’t even a few years ago. do you know what Did your personality and appearance really change a lot during that time?”

Of course, I know it well, but I pretend not to know.

“Is that so?”

“So that’s a proposal. I can definitely trust and rely on you now.”

“… … .”

“This is a really important business. Both me and senior Yoo… … I mean, it’s a lifelong dream. The future of the group is also at stake.”

What else could this be?

The future of New World Group, a leading conglomerate in Korea, is at stake… … ?

“Oh, I didn’t explain it properly to you.”

he asked, clicking his tongue.

“What company are we doing?”

“Distribution, fashion, food and beverage… … .”

“If you had to pick one of the most important?”

“It must be New World Mart and logistics distribution.”

“okay. That’s right. But these days, who comes to the mart and buys groceries? You do it all with an app. Isn’t your house like that too?”

“… … .”

“It is a situation where foreign capital is aggressively investing in the domestic market while terrifyingly nurturing first-mover companies. At a time when offline marts are gradually disappearing… … Now is the time to find a new way out.”

“Is that the complex cultural industry that is currently being promoted centering on Gwacheon?”

“It is a cultural space for staying rather than a mart, and it is a situation where a more advanced concept needs to be introduced and established. Originally, the place we set as our target was Walmart in the US. But at this point, it seemed like it would be difficult. In Korea, Internet shopping malls are very developed, so… … .”

“hmm… … .”

“Complex culture. Are there many? KPOP. Movies, dramas, animations, sports, games, resorts, theme parks… … . It’s time for a new leader who can embrace this. And it is an era in which companies can survive only when they find a new way to coexist.”

“That partner was Nepple.”

“A person I can trust is the head of the company, has a lot of money, and interests with me are perfectly aligned… … You are the best partner.”

“okay.”

“And as the new leader, senior Yoo and I were looking out for you. Young, capable and capable. Although the foundation is integrity, he knows how to understand the physiology of companies and people well, and how to use them… … .”

“… … .”

“It’s because I really have no one to trust but you. Let’s give it a try because we’ll push it hard. huh?”

Seeing Vice Chairman Kim Jong-hak appealing for sincerity, Taeyeon felt her heart shake. Vice Chairman Kim Jong-hak, who caught that point, appealed even more sorrowfully.

“game? It’s good! If that’s your identity, go ahead. But how long are you going to limit game development to monitors? In real life, do you really have any plans to scale it up properly?”

At those words, Taeyeon’s heart started to tickle.

‘Real SimCity… … .’

Anyone who likes games like SimCity has thought about it at least once.

If I had a lot of money, if I had the space and energy to develop the city… … ?

‘little… … I’m attracted to you.’

It was Vice Chairman Kim Jong-hak who once again burrowed like a ghost at the point where his mind was about to tilt slightly.

“Let’s do this!”

“… … .?”

“How long do you have any plans to stay as the CEO of Nepple?”

“I guess so, right?”

“If you are having a hard time right now, put your name on the CTO, get involved in technology development and give advice. I won’t be too busy.”

“hmm… … .”

“Then, later on, when Dream Theater runs out of hands, in an emergency, or when you have more energy to spare, actively get involved and help with the work. That won’t take up much of your time.”

Unlike the determined moments before, Vice Chairman Kim Jong-hak gave the finishing touch to the thoughtful look.

“hey. help me bro It is truly my lifelong wish.”

“… … !”

As their relationship deepened, in private, they became really comfortable like brothers and friends.

The care he gave himself.

Above all… … .

‘He’s also the benefactor who made me meet Yoona.’

Considering the fact that I introduced you to my precious companion… … .

‘I can’t look away anymore.’

Taeyeon nodded.

“All right.”

“Hey… … It should be! ha ha ha!”

He was overjoyed.

“Hey, you take some time this weekend. Let’s go to the baseball field with a couple. Our team has a match this time.”

I’m talking about the baseball team, the New World Warriors.

I like sports games, so of course I also like real sports games.

“All right.”

“You have no regrets? I’ll put out a press release tomorrow. okay?”

He stopped laughing at the appearance that was not like the vice president of a large company.

“All right.”
