Chapter 54: Yoo Seonjun (3)

“…What, what is this?”

Yu Seonjun lost his words as he looked into one of Daeha Securities’ most intimate secrets.

He was not foolish, so this fact was even more shocking. Because he had accumulated a lot of financial knowledge, he knew how ridiculous this elaborate system was.

“Did you know… the Japanese bubble would burst? No, f*ck… you knew! You knew, so you made this scam contract, didn’t you?”

“What do you mean scam? It was done with mutual consent. I even gave them another chance after the bubble burst. There aren’t many people as nice as me.”

Yu Hayeon just smiled slyly, giggling hehe.

Yu Seonjun thought.

‘This… how much is it?’

When you knew in advance that the Japanese bubble would burst… how much could a skilled financial company make?

And what if the owner is a monster who has absolute trust and overwhelming genius within the company?

‘First, if it were me…’

First, I would create a corporation in Japan or the US in advance to avoid domestic regulations and divert money. And I would have shorted.

If the plan is this elaborate, it means that he was sure when the bubble would burst. In other words, it means that he was long until just before the bubble burst, so he made double the profit…

I don’t know the exact amount, but wouldn’t he have made at least 100 billion won?

My mind goes blank. How far ahead is my cousin, who was a kid, without me noticing?

“…I’m not very good at gambling after all.”

Should I have bought at a lower point?

“So, what are you going to do? Are you going to help me? Oppa?”

Yu Hayeon tilted her head and puffed out her cheeks, acting cute.

It’s not really cute anymore, it just gives me goosebumps.

“What do you mean what am I going to do? No take-backs. Since it’s come to this, I have to go all the way.”

Yu Seonjun let out a deep sigh and slowly took a step into the depths of Daeha Securities.

“Haha, thank you! Oppa.”

Yu Hayeon laughed.

-Sigh…-

I looked at Yu Seonjun, who was chain-smoking, with a dissatisfied look.

“Didn’t you say you were going to quit smoking, oppa? Smoking is bad for your health.”

“…Oppa is distraught right now. Hayeon.”

Geez.

I snatched the cigarette from Yu Seonjun’s mouth and rubbed it out in the ashtray.

“Hey! This is a Doldam…” (Doldam is an old Korean cigarette brand)

“What are you talking about, if you go on like that, there’s no end. It’s not even rude, so give me the rest of your cigarettes.”

After taking all of his packs of cigarettes, I shook my head grumbling.

“You’re not healthy because you smoke these things. What if you work hard later and your respiratory system gets bad? And think about others.”

“…I didn’t know you would care so much about others’ health.”

“What do you mean others? We’re in the same boat now. It would be a problem if you collapsed from lung cancer at an important moment, you know?”

Anyway, he’s good with words.

Yu Seonjun muttered so and spat out.

“So, how much did you make?”

“Hmm… secret?”

Actually, I don’t even know how much I have. It’s not like Forbes is calculating my wealth…

Besides, I’ve divided my wealth too finely. Some in Eastern Europe, some in Alpha Fund, and some in Daeha Electronics stocks and Daeha Securities shares…

It’s to the point where I can’t distinguish between spent money and potential assets.

And above all, my money was growing in real time even now.

“Instead, I can roughly tell you when I made it. I made a lot when I went to Europe last time… I’ll just tell you that much.”

“…Did you do Eastern European government bonds?”

“Something similar? Ah, speaking of which, I wish you could go to Europe after this work is done. There are some companies to acquire in Eastern Europe. I can’t think of anyone better than you as an agent.”

Yu Seonjun, who closed his eyes tightly and took a deep breath, took a moment to catch his breath and said.

“Yeah, that’s… let’s say that. I don’t know how you did it. But there are a lot of my father’s people and my uncle’s people next to me, how can I?”

It’s difficult. Yu Seonjun is definitely a useful person, but that increases the probability of being caught by his uncles.

“I’ll attach someone to you. Would Lee Sihyeon be okay? Sihyeon will do well avoiding surveillance.”

“Would that be okay?”

I smiled brightly and nodded.

“It’s okay. Did you see the atmosphere with the kids? There’s no one here who will go against me. It would be okay if you two pretended to go on a trip to Europe. But don’t really touch Sihyeon’s body, okay?”

It wouldn’t be awkward since they’re both single. There’s no risk of anything happening since Sihyeon isn’t Yu Seonjun’s type…

Above all, it’s time to promote Lee Sihyeon to chief secretary and create a secretariat. I can’t keep her by my side forever.

Out of sight, out of mind, but as long as I manage her loyalty appropriately, it will be fine.

“Heh, I have no intention of doing that. What can I do to a guy who raises dozens of snakes inside…”

Yu Seonjun shook his head, disgusted.

“Hey, that’s too harsh, oppa.”

Yu Seonjun, who took a long sigh for a moment and fell into some kind of trouble, soon turned to me and asked.

“So, Hayeon. Are you confident you won’t get caught? You kept it a secret from me until now… but no matter what, you won’t be able to hide it from grandfather forever.”

“I don’t know.”

I made a vague expression.

Will I get caught?

I’ll get caught someday. But…

“It doesn’t matter if I hold out for a few years.”

At that time, even if Yu Seongpil came, not Yu Jinha, he wouldn’t be able to do anything to me.

“That’s… a scary statement.”

But Yu Seonjun didn’t deny my words.

October 1990, Budapest, Hungary.

At that time, when the sale of state-owned enterprises was in full swing, a decadent-looking handsome Asian man sat on a hotel bed and looked at the scenery of Budapest.

“…Wow, it’s amazing. Even after spending so much money in Poland, is there still so much money left?”

Lee Sihyeon, who was guarding Yu Seonjun, also answered with a sullen expression. She was holding a large travel bag in her hand.

“I…, I don’t know even if you say that. I just do as the young miss ordered.”

“I guess so.”

He flipped through the documents and looked at the companies to be acquired this time.

“It’s all financial companies here too. Is our sister planning to become a congenital Jew? If we spend another 200 billion here…”

When I came to Europe, for some reason, the paper company that only existed on paper was operating normally as if it were a decent company.

Not just one, but several.

“Sigh… if this is caught, it’s my neck. It’s not grandfather who will kill me… Europe will be startled and hit Korea. If it goes wrong, it’s not Daeha Group, but the Republic of Korea that will be destroyed.”

“…Is it that serious?”

When Lee Sihyeon asked in surprise, Yu Seonjun sighed deeply and answered.

“Of course. I don’t know what my sister did, but this is financial crime. Not only did she make a paper company look like a decent company, but she even bought the history of several companies and disguised them as completely local companies.”

If it were only that, it would have been fine. It’s something that’s done secretly.

But…

If there are not just one or two of those companies, and they are clearly subordinate to an individual with the purpose of intervening in the financial market, it was different.

If you hold several of the largest banks in Eastern Europe and move a few policies without anyone knowing, the European economy will fluctuate.

“…That’s a bit strange. No matter how great the young miss is, that amount of money is not really a lot of money, is it? I’m not saying that hundreds of billions of won is a small amount of money… but Daeha Group’s sales alone exceed 10 trillion won.”

“It’s different from that. 300 billion in Poland… 200 billion in Hungary… Then, if you combine other places, it will definitely exceed 1 trillion won. Not assets, but cash. Not everyone can split this cash and hide it in various parts of Europe so that it can be used immediately.”

Even if he made a lot of money by investing in Japan and the US… diverting this money is another matter.

It requires a wide network, experience, and above all, a lot of time…

“This means that she already knew everything. If Yu Hayeon already knew the entire future of Eastern Europe, it’s possible. Because time solves many things.”

It’s a different level of difficulty to divert 1 trillion won in 1 month and to divert 1 trillion won in 1 year. Yu Hayeon probably finished all the preparations in advance and proceeded slowly.

‘She’s a monster.’

Even the patience that young geniuses lack most is already perfectly equipped.

“Yeah, didn’t our sister say that a few years ago? That Eastern Europe would collapse. Or she would suddenly say that we need to establish local corporations overseas.”

Eastern European countries are not fools. There are some restrictions on foreign capital acquiring domestic companies. Most of them will be handed over to their own citizens or European companies.

It’s meaningless to hastily establish a corporation locally because there will be provisions such as having to operate the company for several years.

But… it’s different if you predicted even that.

“…!”

Lee Sihyeon’s eyes widened.

“Ha, I knew it.”

Yu Seonjun narrowed his eyebrows with a creepy feeling. It was difficult to guess how far Yu Hayeon’s evil hand extended.

“Are you okay?”

Lee Sihyeon asked suddenly with concern.

‘Is she worried that I’ll be scared and run away? Or the opposite?’

Certainly, as I grasped the inside story to some extent, I felt fear creeping in. It’s like feeling that I found a sprout that I thought was good, but it turned out to be a sprout of tens of meters.

But…

Yeah.

I couldn’t deny that it was definitely thrilling.

“It’s a gamble… but let’s do it.”

Anyway, life is like gambling on a huge gambling table…

If so, shouldn’t you bet on the side with the biggest stakes?

***

After becoming the majority shareholder of Hungary’s largest state-owned bank, Yu Seonjun had a natural question.

‘Seeing that she’s investing so much in Eastern Europe… is she planning to immigrate to Europe?’

Yu Seonjun didn’t know the real power of Alpha Fund, so he made a natural judgment.

That all the paper companies that he had worked so hard on until now came from Yu Hayeon’s hands.

Of course, contrary to Yu Seonjun’s expectations, Yu Hayeon is definitely a genius, but she is not a magician who makes the impossible possible. This was the work of a skilled expert hired by Alpha Fund.

Yu Seonjun, who didn’t know that the nearly 1 trillion won invested was… not the whole, but only a part of the plan, smiled and nodded.

“Then I have to work a little harder.”

A bird that doesn’t fly or cry for three years, when it flies, it pierces the sky, and when it cries, it surprises people… A man should also do that.

-Scratch scratch.-

After a very long time, Yu Seonjun picked up a pen and started studying with his own will.

“Miss, but is it necessary to be Europe?”

Why did I send Seonjun oppa to Europe? Well… first of all, I told him to go on a trip, and it was a job I asked him to do along the way. It’s not that tough of a job, huh?

“Ah… I was worried that you, Miss, would overwork your cousin. Not everyone is like you, Miss.”

I chuckled.

It’s easy for a young master like Yu Seonjun to run away if you give him a lot of work from the beginning.

Originally, you have to start with easy work and slowly increase the work.

If he works comfortably in Europe and comes back, he probably won’t complain even if I make him work a little harder?
