[181]The place where the giant left 1
“Did the story end well?”
“I don’t know if I’m just wasting 2 billion won in raw money. “The kid stutters a lot.”
Oh Se-hyun showed that she did not like it with her pouting lips.
“I think the tuition fee was well paid, huh?”
“The tuition fee is huge. so? “What are you going to do after that?”
“That’s all I can help you with. “If that doesn’t work, I won’t care what Sangjun does.”
If the cost of self-reliance is 2 billion, you have done enough. Oh Se-hyeon also seemed relieved. He must think it’s foolish to pour money into something that has no hope.
At this time, the secretary slammed the door open.
“Great, Mr. Representative,”
“what? what’s the matter?”
It seemed like something unusual, so I didn’t even bother to be polite.
The secretary couldn’t say anything, just picked up the remote control placed on one side and turned on the TV.
Breaking news was broadcast on TV.
『Daehyun Group Honorary Chairman Joo Young-il passed away from old age at Daehyun Hospital in Seoul at 10 pm last night. The direct cause of death was ‘acute respiratory failure due to pneumonia’ and it was reported that he was conscious until the end.
After announcing his resignation in May of last year, the late former Chairman Joo Young-il withdrew from the front line of management and received treatment between his home and Daehyun Hospital in Seoul. It is said that since August, he mainly stayed in the hospital due to severe arthritis symptoms and difficulty in movement. 』
The two of us were just staring at the TV blankly with our mouths open.
『The funeral of the late former Chairman Joo Young-il will be held on the 5th as a family funeral, but since all five economic organizations, including the Federation of Korean Industries, participated in the funeral, it can be seen as being more of an economic funeral.
The Federation of Korean Industries said, “It could be an economic seal, but considering Daehyun’s circumstances, we agreed on a family funeral seal,” adding, “However, considering that the deceased served as president of the Federation of Korean Industries for 10 years and contributed to the Korean economy, a former businessman should attend the funeral.” “I will attend,” he added.
It is reported that memorial altars will be set up at Daehyun Group business sites both domestically and overseas, and that the eldest son, Daehyun Motors Chairman Joo Tae-sik, will be in charge of all funeral costs and procedures.』
TV stations began showing Chairman Joo Young-il’s eventful life like a documentary.
Oh Se-hyeon came to his senses and immediately picked up the receiver.
“Check Daehyun Group stock price in real time and report every 10 minutes.”
Daehyun Group’s stock price will fall anyway, but it will return to normal in a month or two.
Large Korean companies have already gone beyond the level of the chairman playing the drum and janggu alone. The chairman only focuses on succession work, and the company runs well thanks to its executives and employees.
“Wow, things are going to be fun from now on, right?”
“I don’t think it will be dynamic, right? “Isn’t the division into affiliates already over?”
I don’t know that the future will be one in which the inheritance battle will become fierce enough to be called the Prince’s Rebellion, but I had a sneak peek.
“Where is the end to the fight over money? The sons who kept quiet because of their father will come forward in earnest. Also, do you have a lot of children? I have eight sons. There’s another one. Chairman Joo’s younger brothers. Would they, who are no different from the founders, stay still? “It’s obvious that those noblemen will also be making a fuss because they want to give their children a piece of their money.”
Daehyun Group, which had been preparing for division for several years, was divided into five main businesses: heavy industry division, financial division such as securities, electronics, and construction division after the automobile group was separated.
However, due to the method of corporate governance called the circular shareholding structure, complete separation was impossible, and like Sunyang Group, they held a knife that could hurt each other at any time.
“Anyway, uncle, what are you going to do? “You have to go pay your respects, right?”
“Send a condolence wreath or something. “I had no relationship with the deceased while he was alive.”
“Aren’t you the person who fought fiercely over Ajin Motors? “You can’t say it doesn’t exist.”
“I’m done. Anyway, Chairman Song Hyun-chang will go on behalf of HW Group… . If you stop, you are being polite. What about you? “Chairman Jin is definitely going, so why don’t you take him with you?”
“well. If my grandfather asks me to go with him, I go, and if not, I have to leave too. “There isn’t enough Jjambap to fit in there yet.”
I wish we could go together.
That family is also full of third generation people. Among them, some have entered management and some are preparing. They can join hands and jointly invest, or they can compete for business.
In times like this, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to at least become familiar with Daehyun Group.
But three days passed and there was no contact from my grandfather.
* * *
“Has everyone gone?”
“yes. Blue House chiefs and ministers visited on the first day. “Most group leaders also paid condolences.”
“What about our kids?”
“Vice Chairman Jin Young-ki and Jin Jin-gi went on the first day, but Chairman Jin Sang-ki still refuses to leave.”
Chairman Jin just continued to sigh.
“When do you plan on stopping by?”
When Director Hakjae Lee asked carefully, Chairman Jin stopped sighing.
“Let’s go the day before the funeral. Wouldn’t those bastards’ tears have dried by then? “It would be fun to see their expressions.”
“There’s no need to do that… ?”
Hakjae Lee didn’t know Chairman Jin’s intentions, so he gave up.
“You can’t see me after you die, right? “After I die, I won’t know what my children look like, what they do, or what their plans are.”
“Then do you want to see it?”
“okay. There is no difference between them and my children. They’re all the same. These guys have never made money with their own hands, but they have never been short of money. “It will be fun to see things you won’t be able to see after you die.”
“How would it be the same? Daehyeon had to be split into so many pieces that the second generation was on the verge of dissatisfaction, but wasn’t Sunyang split into two large chunks? “It will be different.”
“That’s it, man. What are you trying to comfort me? Big or small, it’s all the same. Is there an end to human greed? By the way, come to my grave later and tell me the story.”
“yes?”
“I can close my eyes and it will be over, but aren’t you going to clearly see our children fighting? I will tell you in detail how much fun it was. haha.”
Hakjae Lee couldn’t say anything. Although he said it as a joke, you could see his sincerity.
“What can I do?”
It may have been a bit rude, but Lee Hak-jae was curious about Chairman Jin’s sincerity.
Chairman Jin just stared at Hakjae Lee without answering for a moment. And when he opened his mouth, unexpected words poured out.
“That’s your opinion. Can I say this or that? If I could just do you a favor… “Don’t be too greedy.”
“yes?”
“it’s okay. “You will find out automatically when I die and am no longer in this world.”
I wanted to hear more about Chairman Jin’s thoughts, but it was impossible to ask questions, so Director Lee Hak-jae also kept silent.
“By the way, I’ll take Dojun too, so you know that.”
“yes. Do you even plan to see the funeral?”

“That’s right. How could it be difficult for me to spend one night with the most disgusting old man in the world when he died? “I must see with my own eyes that he leaves to be buried in the ground.”
“All right. “I will inform Daehyun in advance.”
* * *
In the car heading to the temple in Seongbuk-dong, my grandfather said little, unlike usual.
He was a very talkative person who even said that the characteristic of old people is that as they get older, their energy rises to their lips and they constantly chatter… .
I couldn’t stand it any longer and opened my mouth first.
“Chairman Joo’s house is not usually big, so why did you use a temple as a funeral hall?”
“I follow the will of the living. “It’s about resolving the resentment between Chairman Joo and the old lady.”
“yes?”
“It was the West that I wanted to kick out of the house my whole life. Joo Young-il That old man only went outward. Because she likes women so much. There is also a rumor that among the eight children on the family register, there are three half-children.”
“Is that true?”
I asked with wide eyes.
“I don’t know. Sometimes, when we met for a meal, I asked him several times, but he said no. “It’s a secret only the family knows.”
The grandfather’s stiff expression softened slightly.
“There must be quite a few children who are not registered in the family register, right? “When a woman gives birth to a child, they give her a piece of her property and send it to a foreign country once or twice.”
Those women and children would have known that Chairman Joo had passed away by now, and they would have been busy buying plane tickets to Korea.
In the future, inheritance lawsuits and paternity lawsuits will continue to arise, and Daehyun Group will spend money on the media to prevent this scandal.
Of course, there is not a single extramarital child who joined the Daehyun Group, but they will all receive a large amount of settlement money and disappear abroad again.
This thought made me laugh, but I held it in and listened to my grandfather.
“It’s a shame that the West is dead. “I wasn’t allowed to leave the house at least for the last five days.”
I heard that Chairman Joo’s wife is close to 80. A woman is still a woman no matter how old she gets. To unleash her lifelong resentment so cruelly.
When I glanced sideways, wondering if something might happen, the expression in my grandfather’s eyes also changed.
“This guy! “What are you thinking?”
“Oh, no.”
“No! It’s written all over your face. Are you seeing me with that old man Joo Young-il?”
“Because it’s not. just… .”
“Just, what?”
The old man wiped the last smile from his face and spoke a little more seriously.
“As far as I know, there are no half-children. I lived my life always being careful of the three places a man should be careful of. “You know what that is, right?”
I nodded my head. Isn’t it the mouth, the fist and the dick?
“But what do you mean ‘as far as we know’? Does this mean there might be something you don’t know?”
“You can’t guarantee that there isn’t a woman who hasn’t told me she’s having a child, right?”
Suddenly, the grandfather burst into laughter.
“Oh dear… . I never thought I would have conversations with my grandchildren that I never shared with my grown children. “Hehehe.”
“Because I also have something in common with my grandfather. “Hehe.”
Grandpa patted my head and lowered his voice and spoke.
“Dojun.”
“yes.”
“Perhaps. “After I die, if there is anyone who claims to be my child, please thoroughly verify the paternity.”
“And?”
“Your uncles will definitely try to kick you out. It has to be like that again. A kid like that shouldn’t ever step foot in a cruise ship. However, if your life is crappy, take care of it appropriately. “To live like a human being.”
“yes. “We will take care of everything.”
“okay. “Thank you.”
Grandpa held my hand tightly.
“You wash away the discomfort I always feel stuck between my teeth. haha.”
While we were talking, we arrived at the temple before we knew it.
There were so many reporters waiting at the entrance of the temple that it seemed like all the reporters in Korea had gathered, and they started pressing camera shutters at all the vehicles passing by the entrance.
Daehyun Group employees blocked the entrance and strictly controlled access, so all they could do was take pictures of car license plates. If you check the vehicle, you can find out who has been there.
“Dojun.”
“yes.”
“Roll down the window.”
“yes?”
“hurry.”
“grandfather. “Reporters will point out their cameras.”
“That’s why I open the window. hurry.”
I could even hear the driver swallowing his dry saliva in surprise.
And I rolled down the window as my grandfather told me to do. Since the window on my grandfather’s side was already fully open, it was difficult to hesitate any longer.
Sure enough, a camera came into the car and started pressing the shutter.
When I passed the temple entrance, I was barely able to sleep for an hour.
“Grandpa, why did you suddenly do that?”
“Hehe. “Tomorrow your face will be all over the newspaper.”
