Episode 108 [ Merchants (4) ]
A mid-sized sedan stopped in front of the building. Everyone passing by took a look at the sedan. It was an incredibly expensive looking car.
The person waiting opened the back door of the car.
A middle-aged man got out of the car.
“I’m sorry for making you come.”
The secretary bowed her head to the middle-aged man.
The man frowned.
“This is ridiculous. “I can’t believe I have to do something like this myself.”
“sorry. “Chairman Yang said he wouldn’t talk to us unless we met in person, so I had no choice.”
“The chairman is some kind of gangster leader.”
Vice Chairman Kim Yong-shin looked unpleasant when he heard the term ‘Chairman Yang.’
Even though he was the crown prince of SG Group, he was still only the vice president. There was no way it would be good for a gangster to be called the chairman.
“Still, it would be a good idea to be careful. There is a story about him being a battle awakener.”
“Hmph, what’s so great about an awakened person?”
The vice president glanced back. The bodyguards stood behind him.
Both of them were awakened members of the group. They were not originally the vice president’s bodyguards, but they were specially selected for this matter.
The vice president looked satisfied. I looked at the entrance of the building.
The name of the jewelry bar was written in nice handwriting and engraved on the glass door.
“There must be a lot of quiet places. You can’t believe it’s such a cheap bar.”
“This is where CEO Yang Kang-deok goes to work every day. I know it’s a pretty famous place.”
“Judging by what has reached my ears, it must be true that he is famous. But he is very poor at welcoming guests.”
The vice president entered the building with a not-so-good look on his face. The
bar that used to only occupy the basement had now become a large jewelry bar that used both the basement and the first and second floors. The
basement was a jewelry bar as before, and the first floor was a jewelry-focused cafe, and finally, the second floor. It was a room for people who wanted a quiet atmosphere.
The secretary guided the vice president to the second floor.
The room shown was much nicer than the vice president expected.
The furniture was luxurious and the atmosphere was not bad.
It was just Yang Kang who came first and was waiting. Deok was not that different from the image he had in mind.
A rugged man in his early 40s covered in scars. At first glance, he had the image of a gangster. As he
sat down, Vice Chairman Kim spoke first.
“I heard you were looking for me.”
“It was an unexpected story, so I needed to confirm.”
Representative Yang grinned.
“It’s confidential so no one knows, so I’m curious how you knew.”
The vice president frowned slightly.
Even though he was a gangster, he only saw people groveling in front of him, but this was different.
Was he really the person who unified the underworld in Korea?
But the vice president thought it was laughable. He was a criminal anyway. He was just a gangster.
‘I’m in control now. ‘I’m in a situation where I have to widen the gap, so I’ll roughly adjust it.’
The vice president smiled softly and opened his mouth,
“There are no secrets in the world. Moreover, the information power of companies is greater than that of most countries. They know everything.”
Perhaps it was thanks to the vice president’s coordination. Fortunately, the atmosphere went smoothly.
“...It’s all a good story, but I can’t tell you the source.”
“I don’t want to know the source either. I just need some samples.”
Business was about samples becoming products and then transactions.
The moment they were traded, there was no one in Korea that could compete with the power of the SG Group.
They unified Korea’s gangster organizations. In any case, it was just a pathetic organization that could be put to an end with just the prosecution and police.
However , Proper confirmation was needed before that.
“Samples aren’t easy either. We promised a monopoly to that company at EV’s recommendation...” The
vice president twitched his eyebrows at the word EV.
I finally understand the connection between this gangster organization and the company that is currently the most controversial issue in the world.
EV was rumored to be supporting the new Russian government and even helping to overthrow the previous Russian government.
Even if it wasn’t a rumor, it was an organization that had an angle with China and Russia for the benefit of the awakened people.
It was also possible to introduce a gangster organization to Natas Corporation to help develop the mana stone generator.
The vice president was relieved.
It was fortunate that the EV was only stuck in the middle. EV was a difficult opponent.
But the man in front of me could cook well.
No matter how you package it, the opponent is a gangster anyway. He was a man who could easily change ships for immediate gain.
Representative Yang said as he lifted up heavy bags.
The bags were full of 50,000 won bills.
– This is a reward for your hard work today. It’s cash, so you don’t have to worry about being tracked. You can use it as much as you want.
Whoosh!
This time, I was really amazed.
Wait . When the conversation said 10 billion won, he couldn’t help but be surprised by EV’s distribution.
Although he deceived SG’s vice president, he wasn’t worried at all.
It was EV’s doing. SG Group said it was great, but it was obvious where the scales were tilted.
He held the bag and said Lulu. Lala left the building.

Meanwhile, the vice president who remained in the room called the manager through his secretary.
“You said you were looking for me.”
A moment later, a woman of unknown age entered with a languid voice.
She was a woman with a strange aura. Extremely beautiful. It wasn’t like that, but the atmosphere it gave off was really different.
The vice president’s eyes sparkled even more.
As she sat down in front of her, the vice president opened his mouth.
“Did you make these cocktails?”
The vice president pointed to the glasses in front of him.
Jin Xiawei slightly raised the corners of his mouth.
“Did you like it?”
“It was pretty good.”
“thank you.”
Jin Xiawei slightly bowed her head to the vice president.
It was a light greeting.
The vice president couldn’t help but ask a question.
“Don’t you know me?”
“Aren’t you the Vice President of SG?”
The vice president found the situation very amusing.
“That’s right... Then how much do you get paid here?”
“yes?”
“I will give you twice, no, three times as much. Why don’t I work at SG? I’ll take you to the proper upper world.”
He took a blank check out of his pocket and shoved it in front of her along with a fountain pen.
“Write down the down payment you want.”
The way he spoke was as if he had already become a subordinate. He was that confident.
Jin Xiawei picked up a pen. She smiled strangely and started writing numbers on the check. Numbers
at the beginning and English characters at the end. He started to cry. One, two, three, four....
As the number increased, the vice president’s expression got worse.
Finally, when Jin Xiawei put down the pen, the vice president glared at her.
“Are you trying to play with me?”
It was a ridiculous amount.
But Jin Xiawei looked rather puzzled.
“I guess this amount is too much. Then it will be difficult. There is no merit at all.”
His face seemed like he was genuinely thinking that way.
The vice president was clearly irritated. Now the bartender was making fun of him too.
I wanted to hit him, but he didn’t.
“Who is the owner of this place? “Tell him to come here.”
He intended to give her the real facts.
“The owner happens to be at the bar, but he’s busy so I don’t know if he’ll come.”
She said she would talk to me and left the room.
“Follow me.”
Frowning heavily, he gave instructions to his secretary.
Time has passed.
Slowly, I became more annoyed.
Fortunately, after a while, the secretary returned with a young man.
He was a sturdy man who appeared to be in his early 30s or late 20s.
“Are you the owner of this bar?”
The other person grinned at Vice Chairman Kim’s words.
“It’s one of the businesses I do. Nice to meet you. “Vice Chairman Kim Yong-shin. My name is Kang Kyung-hoon.”
Kyung-hoon extended his hand toward the vice chairman.
