Reversal of Life With Stock Cheats

chapter 17



Lim Hanul sighed as he squeezed his phone and narrowed his forehead. It was pitiful to see him trying to stabilize his trembling body.

He lowered his voice and spoke to the other party over the phone.

“Why are you suddenly canceling your investment?”

The slight trembling in his voice was clear that he was holding back his anger. I thought you wouldn’t want to show me this, so I backed away and hid.

he continued.

“No. If you suddenly change your attitude like this… President, why are you doing this all of a sudden?”

I feel like I’m overhearing this.

sorry. Hanul. I wasn’t trying to eavesdrop on purpose.

“Our company. Even if it’s still in the red, we’ll see some sales next year. We showed you our plan last time. No. Boss. That’s not it. Boss! Boss!”

Lim Hanul screamed and looked at his phone with a bewildered face.

“Ha! Did you hang up?”

He rubbed his forehead with his right hand and gnashed his teeth.

“Euuu!! What should I do if this happens all of a sudden!”

His hand holding the phone trembled. he murmured, taking a deep breath.

“Is it my father? Are you blocking my way again?”

I had heard that he was from a fairly wealthy family, but I had never heard of his father.

He bit his nails nervously.

“I can’t repay the development contract now… and the balance is due next week, and I’m suddenly asking where to get the money… I’m going crazy.”

that money. maybe i can help

Anyway, at what time should I go out?

As I hurriedly avoided my body, a mouse got out of my leg and I flinched, and the automatic door swung open.

Alas. I ran to the automatic door and took a stance.

“… Kim Jae-goo?”

Im Han-ul’s gaze turned to me.

“Huh? Uh. Hanul. He moved into the building next to me.”

Let’s turn the topic around for now.

“When did you come?”

“I just came.”

Seeing that he didn’t say much, fortunately he seemed to have mistaken me for just entering. He came over, brushing his messy hair with his fingers.

“What is this? What did you buy so much?”

“It’s moving rice cake.”

“Someone is turning the rice cakes these days.”

“Actually, this is a secret.”

When I lowered my voice, Im Hanul listened with a serious face.

“I didn’t turn it around because I didn’t know who was in the office next door. I just bought it for you and the staff.”

“What a secret that is. Bitch. If you’ve moved in before that, let’s talk! We should have gone and held a housewarming party for you.”

“It’s okay, man. You can congratulate me wherever you are. The heart is important, isn’t it?”

“That’s right. The heart is important.”

Im Hanul raised the corners of his mouth with a bitter face.

“But Hanul.”

“yes?”

I could have pretended not to hear it and brought it up later, but since the case seemed urgent, I felt I had to ask.

Rather than going into the office and talking, I thought it would be better to talk now that no one is around.

“Can I invest in your company?”

sorry. My words are only like this.

Im Hanul opened his eyes wide and blinked quickly.

“Investment? All of a sudden?”

“Uh. I got some things from my grandfather this time. That…. He said that if you do something well, you can earn 100 times as much as an angel investment.”

“Yes. That’s right.”

“I thought I’d invest some money.”

“If you’re looking for a company to invest in as an angel, there must be a better place than ours… Can you help me find information if necessary?”

The attitude of not holding on to a friend even when he was in a pinch was admirable. However, from my point of view, Im Han-ul’s business prospects were also good.

Even more so if I just wear it.

“No. Why invest in a company I don’t know?”

“But it’s a bit burdensome to invest in a business without even listening to the explanation.”

“Then I’ll listen to the business plan properly and decide.”

It was like a rehash because I had already heard it during the orientation, but it was good if I could listen to the business briefing session for a while and lighten Hanul Lim’s mind.

After thinking for a while, Im Hanul put on a naughty expression and hit my shoulder with his fist.

“Okay. Jaegu Kim. Look forward to the presentation.”

***

At my request, Im Hanul gave corporate cards to Yuri Noh, Minseok Park, and the newcomers and sent them to the cafe.

And I started explaining the business.

The world of Metaverse, where reality is projected onto the Internet as it is. The world that Im Han-ul draws was such a place.

“We analyzed photos of standardized products and implemented them in the Metaverse system we provide. Consumers can see and experience products in virtual space, and feel as if they are shopping at a store at home.”

The service supported by Hanul Lim’s company was the Metaverse Market. At first, it started with ready-made products, gradually expanded the items, and later, it was drawing a picture in the direction of integrating the delivery service of each restaurant.

He insisted on using honorifics when explaining to investors.

“Consumers can directly see cyber items implemented based on data and decide to purchase.”

As with most corporate briefings, the technical aspects were not discussed in detail.

Drawing the big picture, setting a direction, recruiting investors, hiring engineers, and making it happen somehow. That’s how new products come into the market.

“Look here, please.”

A picture of a weekend mart like a battlefield appeared on the screen. It was so crowded that there seemed to be no place to step.

“Busy office workers of the 21st century go to the supermarket every weekend to buy a week’s worth of groceries. They wait in line to get into the supermarket parking lot. Golden weekend and gas is dumped on the street. The child in the back seat When you start whining about how long to wait, your stress only gets worse.”

It reminded me of going to the mart with my ex-wife and Ha-yeon on the weekend. I am also stressed because of the traffic jam, but my ex-wife pushed me as if I had become a criminal.

{Why is the car so blocked? Do you really have to go to the mart on the weekend? You can buy it while you get off work.}

Even thinking about it again, my blood pressure rose. It was fortunate that Ha-yeon was gentle and did not whine.

‘I wonder if Ha-yeon is doing well.’

Im Hanul’s presentation continued.

“Will the pain end when I go to the mart? No. The child runs around and touches things, and complains that it is difficult after a while. There are many things to buy, but it is difficult to push the cart because the road is blocked by people. When you come home with everything, the weekend is almost over.”

he raised both arms.

“Where did your weekends go? Where did weekends of family fun, new experiences and relaxation go? Is walking around a crowded supermarket a new experience? No, it’s work.”

I agree. Going to the mart every week was also a job. Some people say they like shopping at the mart, but I didn’t.

“But it’s insecure to buy a product without seeing it with your own eyes. That’s why we prepared a world of virtual reality that you can see and buy with your own eyes!”

The image of a supermarket appeared on the screen. It was quiet with very few people passing by.

“You can just walk around the mart and shop as if you were playing a game. If even that is annoying, you can view the product list. You can also check detailed information by clicking on the picture. Discount information can be checked immediately, and various When you put an item in your shopping cart, it also recommends the market that offers the lowest price.”

It was a pretty good system if you could secure the technology. At first, metabus shopping might be unfamiliar, but it was the same with mart delivery. It was easy to get used to quickly.

‘If we cooperate with the distribution chain operated by the Dokgo Group, the scale will be quite large.’

It would also differentiate the service from other distribution chains, so the synergy effect would be considerable. If that happens, the scale of Im Han-ul’s company will grow enormously.

‘I’ll make it that way.’

Dokgo Jeong is in charge of Dokgo Group’s distribution chain. I was thinking of seizing the management of the place anyway, even if it was to get revenge on the guy who broke my family.

‘If that happens, the company’s value is barely 100 times.’

If my revenge was successful, the money invested here could be returned hundreds of times. It was a plan that kills two birds with one stone.

“How is it?”

Im Han-ul looked at me with a tense face.

“How much can I invest?”

I thought about pushing and pushing, but it was also not good to joke about money. Lim Han-ul also took care of me without pushing, so I wanted to help as much as I could.

“…how much can I invest?”

“If the investment briefing session is over, use vulgar language. It’s disgusting.”

“Ah. Is that so? How much can I invest?”

Lim Han-ul swallowed his saliva with a tense face and noticed. How much money was cancelled, so why was he so angry?

First of all, I decided to try the liver with a reasonable amount.

“About 1 billion right now? If you give me a little time, I can invest more.”

At those words, Im Hanul opened his mouth wide and blinked his eyes. He rubbed his eyes with the palm of his hand.

“10 billion?”

“uh.”

There was silence for a while.

‘Was 1 billion too small?’

“… Kim Jae-goo.”

“uh?”

“How much did you inherit?”

“secret.”

He closed and opened his eyes, rubbing his forehead with the palm of his hand.

“Ah. I’m sorry. They say they’re willing to invest a larger amount than expected. But, it’s a financial investment. What are you going to do if your investment goes bankrupt?”

“Are you ruined?”

“···no.”

“Then why do you say such a sad thing, Hanul?”

He smiled and patted his shoulder.

I am Jaegu Kim. Now this much money can be invested in friendship. Besides, your company won’t go bankrupt. I’ll make you suck on the Dokgo group.

Im Han-ul muttered with a puzzled expression, as if he still couldn’t believe it.

“I’m going to invest 1 billion right away…”

Even I would have been surprised if a friend from a college club who asked for an advance payment 70 days ago suddenly said that he would invest 1 billion won.

but. It was not collected through formal investment briefings, so one billion was not a small amount of money.

‘It’s all thanks to my grandfather.’

It was true that it was a legacy inherited from my grandfather. If it wasn’t for this ability that my grandfather gave me, the money wouldn’t have been called this way.

Im Hanul smiled awkwardly.

“Then can I ask for one billion?”

right! You have to grab it when the opportunity comes.

10 billion? It’s not like throwing it away anyway, it’s an investment, so I could put it in as much as I wanted.

Besides, that Sid was because Hanul’s advance payment had increased.

When the Korean restaurant offered to return the rest of my salary, I remembered the man who said he would give me an incentive.

tapped him on the shoulder

“Why are you so low-key. Man. Treat me like you normally would.”

It was a pity that he looked a little servile because it was an urgent situation. Isn’t Im Hanul’s trademark always being confident?

“Thank you. Could you send it before next Wednesday? I’ll give you a lot of shares instead.”

“Of course. How much are you going to give me?”

5%? Is this also a little greedy? I heard the metaverse is going well these days.

“How about 10%?”

It seems that the company is still small, so the stake is high compared to the investment amount. As the company grew, the stake would become more expensive.

“Okay. But there is one condition.”

At the word condition, Im Hanul swallowed dry saliva. A tense expression was evident.

“It’s not a big deal, if you need more investment money, tell me first. I want to get an investment opportunity first.”

“yes?”

“I think your company will do really well.”

i will make it good

Lim Han-ul’s eyes were alive.

“Ah! Ah! That’s what you mean. Thank you. Good luck.”

Im Han-ul grabbed my hand. he burst into tears

“I’ll work really hard. I’ll run without stopping until I collapse.”

“No. You can’t fall.”

“That’s right. That’s right. I’ll work really hard while taking care of my health.”

Seeing Im Hanul happy, I was also happy. You’re helping a friend with this taste.

Oops. I forgot something.

“Han-ul, I have one more favor to ask of you.”

“What?”

“Please keep the names of the investors secret.”

“Why?”

“It’s hard to explain why. It’s not necessary to disclose it.”

“It’s not like that…”

It was a necessary action to catch the tail even a little late in the battle with Dokgo Group. Besides, if it was Im Han-ul, I could trust him and leave it to him.

After thinking for a while, Im Hanul nodded.

“…Okay. If you do, then there must be a reason.”

“thanks.”

“Thanks to you, I was able to live. Thank you so much. Jaegu. But isn’t it excessive?”

“Hey! I’m Jaegu Kim.”

“… are you really okay?”

yes. If you were a friend who asked for an advance payment not too long ago, you won’t believe it. Still, thank you for worrying about me over and over again.

“It’s okay. It’s okay. What does it mean to be friends? Oh, more than that. I bought a cake, let’s eat it together.”

Repaying the favor made me feel so good.

‘I’m sure Hanul will take care of the business.’

I’m going to have to find a pants boss soon and register as a business.

The conditions of the pants boss were simple. Someone who is heavy-mouthed and will never tell me about my true identity no matter what.

It came into contact with memories I never wanted to recall, but I couldn’t think of any other way.

‘Is he the only one after all?’

< Thank you so much Jaeguya > End
