Story of a Big Player from Gangnam - Chapter 839
Chapter 839: Acquisition of Miura Machines (3) – Part 2
Gun-Ho asked Mr. Yoshitaka Matsui who was there to interpret for them, “What is their schedule for tomorrow?”
“The business deal that they came for was closed earlier than they expected. So, they want to have a city tour of Seoul tomorrow. After spending a day in Seoul City, they will take a flight to Japan at Gimpo International Airport the day after tomorrow.”
“It is a good idea to have a tour since they are here anyway.”
“They want to visit Namsan Tower, Changdeok Palace, and Bukchon Hanok Village.”
“Oh, is that right? I can lease a car for them if they want.”
“That would be great, sir.”
Gun-Ho said to Jong-Suk Park who was having his beef short ribs deliciously, “Hey, President Park. Our guest will have a tour in Seoul tomorrow. Why don’t you lease a car for them?”
“Okay, I will do that.”
“Since they are seniors, you probably want to rent a car that has good ride comfort.”
“I will rent a Genesis for them, with a chauffeur.”
Gun-Ho said, “And, President Park.”
Jong-Suk Park looked at Gun-Ho’s face to listen intently to him, and Gun-Ho continued to say in a low voice, “Maybe this could be the last international trip for President Miura given his medical condition requiring dialysis on a regular basis.”
“I guess so.”
“They are leaving for Japan the day after tomorrow. So, I was thinking that maybe I want to make this trip memorable for him. Maybe we should take them to the private bar that Ms. Jang is running in Hannam Town.”
“Well, if you want that, I’m in. If you do that, it might be easier for us to get some technical support from them later. For that reason, I am definitely in.”
“Okay then. You’d better take KTX (Korean Tran Express) when you come to Seoul tomorrow rather than driving your own car since we will drink some liquor.”
“Okay, I will do that. Should I be there by 7 pm?”
“I would say 6:30 pm.”
“Okay.”
Gun-Ho then said to Mr. Yoshitaka Matsui in a low voice, “A rental car will arrive at the hotel tomorrow morning. President Park here will make sure of it.”
“Hai. Thank you. I will stay here with them today, and I will take them to Seoul tomorrow.”
“After finishing the tour tomorrow, I want you to bring them to the Soonchunhyang Hospital by 6:30 pm. I will meet you at the front entrance. I want to treat them to dinner tomorrow. Today’s dinner is on GH Machines’ President Park.”
“Thank you, sir.”
“Since President Miura might not be able to often travel internationally from now on, I want to make this trip meaningful for him.”
“Hai, thank you.”
Gun-Ho dropped off the Japanese guests at the Onyang Hot Spring Hotel and headed back to Seoul with Chan-Ho Eum.
The following day, Gun-Ho went to work in GH Building, Sinsa Town.
He turned on his computer to check Dyeon Korea’s stock. The stock price dropped by 15%. An economic newspaper already covered the fact.
[Dyeon Korea’s stock is bearish today. After its stock split, its stock price jumped to hit the upper limit on the first day after the dormancy period due to the stock split. But, as a lot of investors chose to realize profits by selling their Dyeon Korea’s stock, it resulted in its price drop by 15% today.]
“The price will continue to decrease even tomorrow. It will take another 10 or 15 days to recover the initial public offering price of 26,200 won. Well, since the stock was split as 5:1, the price would be 5,240 won.”
Gun-Ho opened Seung-Hee sister’s stock account. The cash that was immediately available to be withdrawn was 16.1 billion won. Gun-Ho stared at the number—16.1—and got lost in his thoughts.
‘I was going to take out 15 billion won out of 16.1 billion won from this account, and move that fund to my personal stock account. That would make the total fund in my personal stock account 180 billion won. Should I make the transaction today? Well, that won’t be necessary. When Dyeon Korea’s stock price drops to 5,240 won, I will buy them again. I think I can purchase around 3 million shares with the fund here.
However, maybe it’s not a good idea to purchase 3 million shares as an individual. It’s a significant number of stocks for an individual, and I don’t want to draw unnecessary attention. What should I do? Well, I will discuss it with the branch manager of the stock brokerage firm in Gangnam.’
Gun-Ho pulled out his smartphone to call the branch manager, and then he decided not to.
“I don’t have to rush. I will take some time to think about it. I can talk to the branch manager after the Japanese visitors go back to Japan.”
Gun-Ho spent the rest of the day in his office reading newspapers and magazines, and also watching TV, and taking a nap as well. Even though Gun-Ho had a relaxed life like this, his GH companies were working vigorously while making Gun-Ho’s pocket thicker and thicker every day. Gun-Ho’s goal of making 1 trillion won didn’t seem to be impossible.
1 trillion won! It was an astronomical figure. A regular person could make that much money if he won the lottery maybe a thousand times. Gun-Ho wanted to retain this much funds as his personal money, not as his company’s fund, or through real estate properties.
Instead of making a call to the stock brokerage firm’s branch manager in Gangnam, Gun-Ho made a call to Ms. Jang at the private bar in Hannam Town.
“It’s Gun-Ho Goo.”
“Oh my, Mr. President Goo. I barely remember your face now. Why don’t you come to visit my bar more often?”
“As a matter of fact, I will be there this evening. I will come with three Japanese men and one more Korean man.”
“Do you want me to have the girls ready, who can speak Japanese, sir?”
“We will need two ladies who can speak Japanese. The other Japanese man is an interpreter himself, so it wouldn’t be necessary.”
“Understood. I will have things ready for your pleasant evening here, sir.”
“We will be there by 6:30 pm.”
Gun-Ho looked at his watch.
“It’s only 3 in the afternoon.”
Gun-Ho sat at his desk and turned on the internet.
“The news in the political section is saying that Minister Jin-Woo Lee is still having his tour in the provincial cities in preparation for his upcoming race to become the leader of his political party. Well, he seems to be trying hard. Huh? Isn’t it Seol-Bing’s picture? What’s up with her?”
Gun-Ho clicked Seol-Bing’s picture to read the news content.
“Seol-Bing’s picture before and after her cosmetic surgery?”
The picture that was depicted as her picture before her plastic surgery had been performed was a picture of her when she was a teenager. As soon as he saw her old picture, Gun-Ho regretted that he clicked her news coverage to see that photo.
“Wow. She was not a beautiful woman at all before she had her cosmetic surgery. So, this is the woman who I kissed.”
Gun-Ho frowned.
“By the way, I think Korea offers one of the best cosmetic surgeries. I can’t believe this is the same woman who I met before. Mori Aikko is a natural beauty. I know that she had never had cosmetic surgery before. Oh, I remember that Director Woon-Hak Sim wants to produce his move and wants Mori Aikko to take the leading female role in it. Should I make my investment in his movie production or not? Well, I will see how things turn out with the movie—Menghuan Yinghua. I will then decide whether I will work with Director Woon-Hak Sim for his new movie or not.”
