God of Money

Chapter 65: <KND Corporation>

When they all sat down at a café, Kim Yonggun spoke with an ecstatic tone.

“General manager Yoon told us you were back. You look different like you are rich!”

Woosung laughed. Kim Yonggun continued quickly. “So what brings you here today?”

“I came to see you two.”

“Pardon?”

“I’m here to offer you jobs.”

Park Junwoo’s eyes widened. Kim Yonggun stammered. “Oh… T…then we’ll be working with General Manager Yoon?”

“Yes. I will offer you good salaries. You will get raises depending on your performances. What do you think?”

Park Junwoo bit his lips. He felt like he was finally being rewarded for his hard work. Woosung took out two envelops and placed them on the table.

“Have a look.”

Park Junwoo opened his envelop first.

Yearly salary: 50,000 dollars

Incentive: Salary * 400 (Paid when you achieve beyond your quota)

He was being paid 33,000 dollars currently. It was 17,000 dollars more than his present salary.

Plus incentive.

He couldn’t believe it. It was an offer he couldn’t refuse.

“And the incentive is really on top of the salary?”

Woosung answered seriously. “That’s right.”

Kim Yonggun also seemed surprised. Yoon Gihwan explained. “President Kang made a lot of money recently.”

“Not a lot but enough to bring you in.”

“Oh…”

“Do you remember what I said before? I said that you needed to improve to become good enough for the world outside of Daesan.”

Kim Yonggun and Park Junwoo listened, their full attention given to Woosung.

“What I really meant was you need to be good enough not only in Korea but in the world.” Woosung continued right away after seeing their dumbfounded reactions. “This is only the beginning. If you want to make a lot of money, join me.”

Both nodded enthusiastically.

There was no reason for them to reject this offer. They were waiting for this day.

“Then it’s decided. You two will join my company.” Woosung stood up. “Now, let’s get out of here. I will buy all of you dinner. Have you had Kaiseki before? It’s great! I made a reservation for us at a nearby Japanese restaurant. Let’s go.”

---------------------------------------------------------------

Kwak Jungwook did as he was ordered. As soon as Woosung arrived at Daesan office, he called Na Jaeman to let him know.

“Sir, Woosung was here. He came to see his co-workers. They are now heading to a Japanese restaurant called ‘Osaka’.”

After hanging up, Kwak Jungwook murmured.

“…I feel like a double agent…”

Kwak Jungwook then texted Woosung back.

“I let President Na know where you are.”

Na Jaeman called Shin Semi.

“Yes. That’s right. It’s Woosung. Yes. He said he’s heading to Osaka. His account balance is currently 140 million dollars. That’s right. He dealt with Pine Tech stocks.”

---------------------------------------------------------------

After only a month since the Lehman Brothers filed for bankruptcy, Woosung became a VVIP at Nuri Finances.

How?

Woosung was the richest VVIP at Nuri Finances now. During the financial crisis, when Nuri Finances’ stock declined, Woosung bought 10 million dollars worth of it.

Everyone thought this was a dangerous time to buy any stocks, yet Woosung was continuously making purchases. Was he being brave, or did he know something?

And if so, how?

Shin Semi couldn’t take it anymore. She drove to the Japanese restaurant ‘Osaka’.

As she walked down the hallway, she heard laughter from the reserved room.

“Hahahaha. Is that true?”

“And you know what? When I walked into the lawyer’s office on Wallstreet, the receptionist called me a yellow monkey and asked if I wanted a banana. At the time, I had no money and I looked poor because I was wearing jeans and carrying a worn backpack.”

“So what did you do?”

Woosung answered laughing. “I had to leave. And after I made a lot of money, I went back to that place. I wore an expensive suit and brought my own lawyer. Luckily, I recorded their racist comments, so I turned the recording on for them. I told them I was going to sue them. They all freaked out.”

“Hahaha. You’re amazing. So you went back?”

“Of course. I always pay what I’m owed back.”

Woosung quickly checked his phone. There was a text message from the restaurant’s server, who Woosung tipped and asked to let him know when Shin Semi arrived.

“She’s here.”

“I need to go to the washroom.”

Woosung stood up and opened the door. Shin Semi was standing right there in surprise. Woosung greeted her.

“Oh…Hello. Long time no see.”

Shin Semi nodded slightly. “I doubt this is a coincidence. I assume you are here to see me, right?” Woosung looked at her directly as he asked.

Shin Semi flinched. Woosung continued. “Then why didn’t you knock? Well, let’s go. I reserved another room for us.”

Woosung walked past her.

---------------------------------------------------------------

“I assume you already had dinner, so let’s have a drink.”

Woosung ordered plum wine. Shin Semi looked at Woosung without saying a word. Woosung asked her slowly.

“Aren’t you even going to say hello? It has been long since we last saw.”

She still remained silent.

“Haha, I am a major shareholder of Nuri Finances, yet you disrespect me.”

Shin Semi finally opened her mouth. “You…. Bought a lot of our stocks.”

The price dropped significantly. If Woosung wanted, he could buy enough to hold over 10% of Nuri Finances.

“I thought about buying up to 5%, but it was getting too complicated. So I decided against it.”

Shin Semi realized Woosung had more money than she expected.

“What happened in America? I heard you had something to do with the Pine Tech stock controversy…I don’t understand.”

“That’s all my private information. Isn’t that illegal for you to know?” Shin Semi frowned at Woosung’s joke. Woosung laughed. “Haha, I’m kidding. You are still so curious. Then let me tell you something.”

Shin Semi looked at him expectantly.

Woosung continued quickly. “Do you know today’s exchange rate?”

“13.76 to send and 13.49 to receive.” Shin Semi could guess what Woosung was going to say. She asked quickly. “Are you telling me you know if it’s going to go up or down? Based on data analysis again?”

Woosung grinned.

“You’re correct. What do you think? Will it go up? Down?”

“Due to the financial crisis, the outflow of dollars is increasing quickly. Everyone is expecting it to go up.”

“Then my next question is this. Until when and how much will it go up?”

Shin Semi stared at Woosung. Did he mean he knew the answer? With such information, one could make an absurd amount of money.

“Are you saying you know the answer?”

“Don’t you think so?”

Shin Semi gasped. Woosung remembered it clearly from his past life.

‘I remember it reaching 15.00 by early March.’

“What…what do you want? You want dirt on Daeyang again?”

“Haha, no, not this time. Instead, I would like to join groups or clubs you belong to.”

“…And you’ll tell me the future? How could I trust you? What if you’re wrong? I belong to very exclusive clubs.”

“Didn’t I correctly predict the election result and the global financial crisis? I think that should be enough for you to trust me.” Woosung lowered his voice. “And the amount of Nuri Finances’ stock I bought should prove to you that I am the real deal. I guarantee you that I hold more cash than you do. Oh, and I have an invitation for you…”

Woosung handed her a piece of paper.

“Place: Daeyang Hotel Diamond Hall near Samsung Station

Time: February 7th 10 am.

We invite you to join KND on its first step.”

“This is my new company. Come and see. You’ll find out that I am worthy of your exclusive clubs.”
