The Youngest Son of Sunyang - Chapter 171 Bombs for Sale? 1

“Just who do you think you are? You’re the CEO, but you just keep rolling your eyes when rumors about selling your company surface? Is that the behavior of a CEO?”

“I-I’m sorry.”

Lee Min-seop, bowing deeply, was glared at by Vice Chairman Jin Dong-gi, who seemed displeased. Vice Chairman Jin Dong-gi then turned to Director Baek Jun-hyuk.

“You need to control the media. Take down all internet articles, and make sure there is no place to amplify or reproduce this article.”

“Yes, Vice Chairman.”

Director Baek Jun-hyuk immediately stood up and rushed out. Since it was early in the morning, if they acted quickly, they could minimize the spread of the news.

“President Lee Min-seop.” Vice Chairman Jin Yeong-gi maintained his composure, unlike his brother. “Did you see Director Baek rushing out? Doesn’t something come to mind?”

“What…?”

President Lee Min-seop started to cautiously look at Vice Chairman Jin Yeong-gi with an anxious expression.

“If it were me, I’d hold a press conference right away and announce that the rumor of Sunyang Card’s sale is baseless… But you seem so composed, Chairman.”

“If you don’t want to see the stock prices fluctuate wildly, handle it right now! What’s taking so long?”

Reprimanded by both Vice Chairmen, President Lee Min-seop hurriedly rushed out.

Sunyang Life’s Chairman Yang Woo-chan and Securities’ Manager Ko In-gyu had to sit there with uneasy hearts, given the sharp remarks of the Vice Chairmen.

“Chairman Yang. Manager Ko.”

“Yes.”

“Yes.”

Both of them turned their attention to Vice Chairman Jin Dong-gi.

“If we assume the sale of Sunyang Card, would it be enough to secure the shares held by both companies?”

“Sunyang Electronics and Sunyang Heavy Industries have some of our shares, right? So, it might vary depending on who the buyer is.”

“Calculate the minimum amount based on the current stock market and also set a maximum based on the stock prices of the last three months.”

“Dong-gi, you…!”

“Hyung, Do-Jun will definitely sell.”

“How can you be so sure?”

“The card company isn’t just a hole-in-the-wall shop, and do you think that guy made this decision alone? He surely must have consulted with Miracle’s Oh Sehyun. He’ll likely sell the card company and use the sale proceeds to invest elsewhere or as funds to acquire a company that Miracle deems essential.”

Everyone sighed, seemingly perplexed by Jin Dong-gi’s statement.

After a moment of silence, Vice Chairman Jin Yeong-gi spoke up. “You both calculate the acquisition amount, and Chairman Yang.”

“Yes.”

“Meet Manager Jang Dohyung. Find out why it has come to this, what Do-Jun is really thinking. You must know this.”

“I understand, Vice Chairman.”

“Now, you two go out for the recovery effort.”

With the two managers gone, only the brothers were left.

Vice Chairman Jin Dong-gi took out a cigarette from his pocket and shook it toward his brother.

“You haven’t quit?”

“Started again.”

“Why?”

“It just happened. Is it okay?”

Vice Chairman Jin Yeong-gi frowned and waved his hand when Jin Dong-gi lit his cigarette. Once the cigarette was lit, Vice Chairman Jin Yeong-gi pressed the intercom.

“Bring an ashtray.”

Jin Dong -gi exhaled cigarette smoke, and he chuckled in disappointment. “Do-Jun, who didn’t even get into trouble once until he graduated from college. He’s got into so much trouble at once, hitting a big one.”

“He didn’t just get into trouble with women, but he went beyond that. Trying to sell the company. It’s unbelievable.”

“What can we do? We can’t just stand by. Are you going to acquire it?”

“You?”

“Do some calculations. It’s not like we have enough funds to acquire the card business.”

“You stay out of it. I’ll handle it.”

At his brother’s commanding words, Jin Dong -gi, feeling somewhat annoyed, extinguished his cigarette by flicking it.

“It’s a mess that our nephew created. If the numbers make sense, I have no reason to stay out of it.”

“If we split, Do-Jun will only do good things for that guy.”

“Do you think we’re the only ones eyeing this? Not just Daehyun Group, but all those who haven’t entered the card business will swarm over like a pack of wolves. Even in the financial sector, they’ll be cautious. This… this fight won’t end just because we agree.”

Jin Yeong-gi showed his unwavering resolve as he stood up. He intended to calculate as quickly as possible and find a way to deal with the hurricane that was Do-Jun.

He still had Jin Yoon-gi, who was favorably disposed towards him.

Vice Chairman Jin, with an annoyed expression, watched his difficult Older brother walk away.

**********

Chairman Jin had been gripping the back of his neck for quite some time with his eyes closed.

Seeing this, the head of the department, Lee Hak-jae, who was observing anxiously, cautiously spoke up.

“Chairman, are you okay? Should I call the doctor?”

“Leave it. It’s not my body that hurts; it’s my head.”

Chairman Jin sat down immediately after drinking a glass of cold water.

“Did that guy spill this, or did the journalists make up a story?”

“He spilled it. Manager Jang Dohyung met with some reporters last night and confirmed it.”

“Did that guy, Jang Dohyung, instigate Do-Jun?”

“I doubt it. You know what kind of person Do-Jun is, don’t you? Jang Dohyung is already trying to get on Do-Jun’s good side.”

“I see… Who would instigate that guy? It’s Do-Jun who has the expertise in luring others.”

That’s why he was even more intrigued. His grandson had grown up well without ever causing disappointment. Doing something like this must have a reason, and it wouldn’t be easy to bring him in to ask.

Passing on the throne would only create confusion. Even if he grumbled, it was better to watch and let a new king take his place.

“What should we do?”

“What can we do?”

“We can realign the card company’s shares before it’s too late.”

Chairman Jin’s gaze upon Lee Hak-jae turned from pathetic to disdainful.
