＜ At the department store… ＞
＜98＞
“Ho-ho-ho! In hindsight, you’re really right. Reorganizing store sizes based on demand. Of course, it’s not easy because there are stores. But we can make enough changes to prepare for the next season. Yes, that’s a good enough opinion.”
“Vice President! Thank you for thinking so. As I said, my thoughts are always the same. Businesses now need to be more sober. The market must be reorganized based on demand. If we don’t move more actively, we will eventually be weeded out.”
A young man in a handsome suit.
The confident-looking man, with his shiny white face and slightly raised eyes, bowed his head politely to the middle-aged woman.
The opponent is Kim Hye-gyeong, vice president of Shinyeong Department Store.
“Taejun.”
“yes.”
“Come to think of it, you are definitely young and bold. It’s not like the kids who withdrew these days. I like it.”
“thank you.”
“But, as you have probably heard, your father did it too when he was young. I mean it was There were some good things about it. As a result, there were more parts that weren’t like that…”
At that moment, managing director Jang Tae-joon’s expression hardened.
“My family doesn’t want anyone to stand out in an unusual way. You know what that means, right?”
“Ah yes. Vice President.”
“Don’t listen carefully to what I have to say. This is all for you.”
“yes. I know very well what you mean. And thank you very much for caring so much.”
At the same time, Managing Director Jang Tae-joon bowed his head very politely, but in the meantime, he was secretly frowning.
old she-cat.
Isn’t that woman the insidious woman who ruthlessly beat down her father, who had once been on a winning streak, and sent him to a distant job?
But it is still unavoidable. It’s because she’s the one who holds the power. and her husband. Shinyoung Group Chairman Jang Sang-kwon allowed it.
“Oh, I hear you’re doing a venture these days too?”
“yes. Although it is a small company, we are working hard with the goal of being listed on the KOSDAQ first.”
“okay. You’re doing great. Even if it’s a small company, it’s the best thing to grow and make it your own. okay. I think it would be better if you start a new company, rather than the small food company your father is in charge of. So, can I help you?”
At this time, Jang Tae-joon forced a smile and replied.
“it’s okay. I am fine now.”
“No. Nope. It’s not like this, I need some help. If it’s a venture, you’ll need a lot of money, especially. Besides, it’s our family business. Mr. Shim! To what extent can our department store spend more money to acquire shares in other corporations?”
At such a sudden question, Managing Director Shim Sang-ho, who was sitting quietly next to Managing Director Tae-joon Jang, quickly shook his head and opened his mouth.
“We can afford up to 300 billion won.”
“300 billion? Is it smaller than expected?”
“If you bring it from another place, you can get up to 500 billion won.”
“500 billion won. Tae Joon. A 20% stake in a third party allocation, wouldn’t that amount to 500 billion won?”
“Ah, of course. Vice President.”
“That’s all right. Managing Director Shim. Let Senior Vice President Shim take on the task and proceed with Vice President Taejun Jang.”
At that moment, Jang Tae-joon almost frowned, but managed to hold it in. It was because of Vice Chairman Kim Hye-kyung’s gaze staring at her.
He didn’t even talk about selling his stake. Even so, she seems to be doing everything on her own.
The problem is that I can’t argue against it here. It was because her will to hold onto even a stake in her company, just in case, seemed very strong.
Ah, C Pearl!
A woman like X!
Even so, Jang Tae-joon can never express such feelings.
Even though Shinyoung Group Chairman Chang Sang-kwon and his father are cousins.
Come to think of it, even though they are members of the same family, aren’t he and his father completely separated from the royal lineage?
Looking back, it was very unfortunate.
When I was young, my father said that he went out so well.
However, now he is just a shabby president of a really small food company. Aren’t you just a managing director of that food company? Of course, he owns a separate pharmaceutical venture, though.
“thank you. Vice President.”
On the other hand, Jang Tae-joon had no choice but to say that and bow his head again.
Today, I suddenly called myself to the department store’s vice president’s office. Also, the reason we talked about this and that was because we wanted to talk about this.
“It’s up to thank you. Then, Taejun. wake up now Both of us are busy people.”
what? Are everyone else busy?
crazy bitch!
Are you saying turn it off now?
However, Jang Tae-joon was smiling brightly.
“Okay then, see you next time. Be healthy always.”
Tae-joon Jang, who got up from the sofa, immediately bowed his head at 90 degrees.
And then I got out of there.
However, the moment he left the vice president’s office, Jang Tae-joon’s expression was severely distorted.
“C Pearl.”
After all, a swear word that comes out very low.
But he was taken aback and looked back.
An employee sitting at one of the desks. It was the gaze she was looking at herself.
Jang Tae-joon, who was serious, got out of there a little faster.

“Ah, C Pearl! I’m going to die of heat The company is not going well, so what kind of 20% stake? Alright, I’ll take that and write it down.”
Jang Tae-joon grumbles in a low voice and walks quickly.
In fact, the nature of pharmaceutical ventures is like a sponge sucking in funds. Because, if you don’t have invested money, you can’t do anything at all.
Since there is no sales, the company’s pure financial condition cannot even pay the employees’ salaries. So you get the investment money and cover it.
Sometimes, due to lack of funds, they bring in somewhat risky convertible bonds. Also, you can get a mortgage loan by holding on to this and that.
“C Pearl! I need to do a technology listing soon.”
Jang Tae-joon, who was monologue again, suddenly spat in the hallway as he entered the restaurant area on the 9th floor of the department store.
At this time, a customer at the department store passed by and looked at him in surprise, but he was walking quickly with his hands in his pants pockets as if he had nothing to do with it.
If you think about it, if the KOSDAQ technology listing really takes place, then you will have a lot of room.
Thanks to a substantial stake, he himself becomes quite wealthy.
In other words, if you sell the stake step by step after a certain period of time, a large amount of money will naturally roll into you.
If the company’s circumstances are not good, it is possible to raise operating funds more easily through a paid-in capital increase due to the nature of a listed company.
So, a technology listing was absolutely necessary.
“C Pearl! what? Asking for 20% of the stake? You want to hold my leash? Oh, get pissed off!”
In the end, the reason he is in such a bad mood is precisely because of Vice Chairman Kim Hye-kyung’s intentions.
A 20% stake in a venture company is quite large.
It’s because it means that many things will be very difficult in the future.
“But why doesn’t the elevator come like this?”
Jang Tae-joon suddenly became more annoyed.
He stood in the elevator area on one side of the dining hall on the ninth floor, his eyes widening.
In fact, he could have taken the VIP elevator near the vice president’s office on the 10th floor and went directly down to the underground parking lot, but he didn’t.
Although it was frustrating.
Because I wanted to get out of there immediately.
But maybe because it was a weekend, the elevator at this time seemed to be overcrowded.
The elevator was coming up very slowly.
Jang Tae-joon couldn’t stand it anymore.
He turned.
I just decided to go down the escalator.
#
Ah, C-Pearl! Shall I go buy some clothes?
Meanwhile, as he went down the escalator, he changed his mind for a moment.
At the same time, Jang Tae-joon also remembered the stories he had told Vice Chairman Kim Hye-kyung earlier.
That is, Shinyoung Department Store’s plan to reorganize luxury brand stores.
Of course, this department store continues to expand new stores recently.
It has recently been concentrating on reorganizing the luxury store corner, but there has been no significant change yet.
look! Because I run business like an idiot, that’s the only way I can make any sales in this good place.

Vice Chairman Kim Hye-kyung seems to lack a management mindset. He kept cursing her inside and moving like that.
After a while, I entered a luxury store that Shinyoung Department Store boasts.

“Guest! But you live this much, right?”
“yes. you’re right. Please count everything.”
“Oh, really?”
“yes.”
Hyunjoon smiles.
On the other hand, Hyeon-joon was really shopping like that because he had decided to spend money like crazy.
Of course, I also wondered how much money I could spend.
So, first, I decided to buy 50 shirts that looked good and 20 pants that fit my waist.
The store clerk is a bit surprised at such a large purchase.
Because this is a luxury clothing store.
That said, these clothes aren’t that expensive compared to luxury bags, watches, or jewelry. However, because the number of purchases is so high, the price is also very high.
Even so, Hyeon-jun finished the calculation before he knew it.
But the problem is that Hyun-joon can’t carry it alone.
Fortunately, the store clerk offered to send these clothes directly to my house.
“Then please do so.”
So Hyun-joon left his home address and came out.
I immediately went into the luxury watch store again.
But after a while
Hyeon-jun, who was about to pay for 10 or so luxury watches at once, hesitated for a moment.
Suddenly thinking about it, it seemed like there was a problem with his credit card.
While buying clothes earlier, one credit card was almost full.
Oops.
Having never bought anything right, I realized belatedly that there was a credit card limit problem.
So I put on a puzzled expression for a while.
Just at this time, Jang Tae-joon was passing through the hallway in front of him.
He immediately frowned and looked at Hyunjoon.
The moment I saw Hyun-joon’s profile, I immediately recognized him as a college classmate.
He stopped in front of the store for a while and glared at Hyeon-jun, and he immediately exclaimed! I was wearing a light snort.
“Sick. A fancy luxury watch? It must be difficult to buy something like that on a professor’s salary.”
Like that, Jang Tae-joon raised the corners of his mouth and muttered in a low voice, then turned his head and started walking again.
“Oh, what is Jia Han doing now? Shall we contact you?”
Just like that, Taejun Jang was muttering.

“But hey… I think my credit card will be over the limit right now. Can I buy this by wire transfer?”
“yes? By bank transfer? yes! Available. But is your credit card limit exceeded?”
“yes. I bought a lot of clothes over there.”
“Oh, is that so? You must have bought a lot?”
“yes. I bought a lot.”
“Then do you have a department store card?”
“no.”
“Ah, is that so? So, do you plan on making one?”
“Now?”
“yes.”
But that’s kind of annoying.
A bit depressed right now.
I just want to spend money without thinking.
“no. next time Is it possible to transfer money?”
“yes. Of course it is possible. But are you really going to buy all of this?”
“yes.”
“sir! By the way, there must be a limit on the account transfer side as well, right?”
“no. that’s fine This is possible because the bank is tied up as a special VIP.”
“Ah, is that so?”
So the clerk immediately knocked on the calculator.
Then he showed the price for 10 luxury watches.
335.3 million won.
Then he looked at me as if he could really transfer this money right away.
However, Hyun-jun grinned and immediately took out his smartphone.
The transfer was completed in an instant to the account the employee informed us.
“I should have gone in now.”
“yes?”
Employees suddenly startled.
Quickly, she checks it out, and she sees her mouth hanging open.
and after a while
“Guest, thank you very much. We will pack it very carefully. And these are our special discount coupons and invitations.”
what? Discounts and invitations?
“First of all, this discount voucher can be used any time you purchase a product from our store in the future. And this invitation is only given to VVIP customers, so if you bring it with you during the special collection event, you can enter at any time.”
Is it some kind of VVIP benefit?
“And customers! If you have time, could you please contact me as a VIP customer representative? A representative can help you register for a VIP membership. In addition to the parking lot, it will be helpful in many ways when you use the department store in the future. They will also kindly help you issue a department store card.”
“Oh yeah? Then… yes! I hope it’s okay. I think I should have a department store card too.”
“thank you. Then, hold on.”
After that, she is very busy.
Hyunjoon watched him with a bitter smile.
But if you think about it, isn’t he still less than 400 million won?
I’m depressed right now, so I want to spend money properly, but it’s true that I’m still lacking.
Then what else should I buy?
Hyunjoon began to think again.
