What you want
isn't just Hando Steel?
In the end, what you want
is Soonyang?
You want to become the owner of Soonyang?
(Episode 4)
It may be
a bigger and bolder desire.
And that's why
I need Hando Steel.
It's my present.
I prepared it to welcome you back to Korea.
You're one with worldly desire
but not so deep pockets.
This over here is your actual gift.
The doughnut shop
from 34 Midway Avenue in New York?
When did a shop open up in Korea?
Soonyang FNC signed a licensing deal.
I asked my grandfather a favor.
It was brought in just for you, Mr. Oh.
Did you learn it from your grandfather?
The basic rule of investment.
The basic rule of investment?
In order to understand the flow of money,
there is something
you must first be aware of.
The people who have control over it.
Understanding the market
is the same as understanding
the players within it.
You've displayed that
by demonstrating
how well you understand me.
Oh Se Hyeon, was it?
Yes, Mr. Vice-Chairman.
Look into him.
I want to get inside his head
and know about who he meets.
(Soonyang Tire)
(Reborn Rich)
(Soonyang Group)
(Soonyang Automotive)
Goodness.
That's it.
(Daeyoung Tire)
My goodness.
Our cars went dashing as soon
as the race began.
The development team wasn't lying.
The engine power
of our latest model, Athene,
surpasses that of bigger cars.
You must be proud, Father.
If it wins the race today,
that alone could be what you talk about
at the launch this evening.
We're off to a great start.
Father, it's about Hando Steel.
Now that Power Shares is involved,
we might need to increase
the cost of acquisition.
I'll leave you to handle it.
But know that the responsibility is yours.
Sure. I'll move forward, then.
It's not just
the sports channels
and magazines that are here.
Even economic journalists are present.
They agreed beforehand
to cover the race and the launching event.
- Good.
- The media will eat this up.
It has drama, right?
Father, I wonder
what tomorrow's headline will be.
"Soonyang Motors the Worst in Its Field"
"Comes Back from Behind
in Style on the Tracks!"
How about this, then?
"The Black Sheep of the Family,"
"Soonyang Motors."
"The Speed Fanatics of Soonyang"
"Once Again Waste Their Time and Money."
The money to keep these tracks open,
the racing team operating costs,
and sponsoring tournaments.
Clinging onto a business for
years that hasn't yielded a profit
isn't like you at all.
Hwa Young.
- You
- Sir.
It's chilly outside.
Maybe you should head inside.
- Allow me to escort you.
- We should go.
- What's wrong with her?
- Well, it's
Chang Je is your one and only son-in-law.
Even sons-in-law are considered sons,
and you have the power
to give someone a seat
at the National Assembly.
How can you not care at all?
Honey, that's enough.
Chang Je
I mean, does the racing team mean
more to you than your daughter?
You.
Hwa Young, you are
my one and only daughter among my sons.
Father
Let it continue to be that way.
Let yourself remain
as my only daughter among my sons.
Don't get greedy by wanting more.
Are you saying
that you have no intention
of helping Chang Je become an assemblyman?
Never?
You are my daughter for sure.
I'm glad I won't have to say it twice.
Honey, don't be too upset.
Your father still adores you
as his one and only daughter.
It's just me who he disapproves.
So what if I'm his only daughter?
Is that supposed to be a compliment?
Don't you know what he means by the word?
Of course I do.
"Gomyeong" in Korean is the garnish
that tops off a fancy dish.
What would that imply, then?
My brothers are the entree.
Since I'm his daughter,
I'm the garnish that complements them.
That's what he meant.
Gosh, I had no idea.
I wonder if he's aware
of how clever you are.
That's what I'll do.
I should let him know.
That his daughter
isn't the garnish but the entree.
Honey, please.
Goodness me.
(Soonyang Tire)
It just finished its 24th lap.
It must complete three more
for the race to be done.
Isn't now the time for that saying?
"It's not over"
"until it's over."
Sir, Chairman Ju Yeong Il
of Daeyoung Group is here.
Hey, there, Chairman Jin.
I see you came down here early.
Chairman Ju Yeong Il of Daeyoung Group.
During the Korean War,
he defected from North Korea
completely broke
and found the group
that is now number one
in financial circles.
The two driving forces
behind the development
of the Korean economy
who rival each other in every way.
Chairman Jin Yang Cheol
and Chairman Ju Yeong Il.
The two historic legends
are right before my very eyes.
Goodness, I couldn't be more ashamed.
My boys should've known better
than to drive at full speed
while in your backyard.
They sped up as if nothing else mattered.
Youngsters these days
are just as ill-mannered as their boss.
- I apologize for that.
- Nonsense.
From what I can tell by the look
on your face,
my boys have been gracious hosts today.
I heard the news.
You're going to take over Hando Steel?
You just can't give up on Soonyang Motors.
After acquiring Hando Steel,
you hope to grow your business.
All so that you could bring me
and my group down.
Chairman Ju.
I am not a common thug.
I'm a businessman.
And businessmen should make profits.
Judging by the money you're bleeding,
one could safely call this
an old man's hobby.
Chairman Ju.
Not all good news surround you either.
Daeyoung has a high cash liquidity risk
and can't even dream about
acquiring Hando Steel.
Is that true?
Those racing cars.
They don't have reverse gear.
Once you get behind the wheel,
you can't go in reverse.
And that's that.
So,
you're adamant about
challenging us in this field.
Here.
My youngest grandson
who enrolled into SNU's law school
at the top of his class said this.
"It's not over"
"until it's over."
That's when you say it, isn't it?
Father.
What a burly young man he is.
I almost mistook him
for your bodyguard. We should sit.
It could be because of the frame
or the engine overheating,
but the car is leaking gas.
It seems as though they must retire.
- Retire?
- Yes.
Darn it.
(Soonyang Tire)
(Soonyang Heavy Machinery)
Reduce your speed, and get back to the pit.
Make a pit stop this instant!
- Right now!
- Retire?
Withdrawing midway?
Are you out of your mind?
Aren't you aware
of who's watching the race?
But sir, it could lead to
Keep racing. You'll cross the finish line.
Withdraw from the race,
and the team will be dismantled.
You won't receive
any financial support, so be it!
(Soonyang Heavy Machinery)
(Soonyang Tire)
(Daeyoung Motors)
Here's a piece of advice
you should consider.
Even with ample time,
your cars will never be better than ours.
Do you know why?
Because at Daeyoung,
there are five of me.
But no matter how closely I look,
at Soonyang,
there is only one of you.
Don't you agree?
That's something to consider.
- We're moving out.
- Sure, Father.
That darn geezer.
Father.
Please don't worry.
I resolved the matter.
You resolved the matter?
That's right. The reporters won't put
the photos in the paper,
and driving error will be reported
as the cause.
- Is that so?
- Yes.
I'll throw a few bones their way
and hand out money to the reporters
You imbecile!
You're pathetic.
Mr. Chairman!
- Mr. Chairman!
- Father.
Father!
Father, Young Ki was only doing
damage control
to save your face.
That
That being his best is the issue
I have with him.
And to think that
he'll take over the company?
Stay back.
It seems as though
he'll be heading to where
the Athene launching event will be held.
- Make sure those are set.
- Of course.
What do you mean the chairman isn't here?
Mr. Yang!
Weren't you scheduled
to escort the chairman here?
Well, while outraged, he told me
to go without him.
So?
You left the old man
at the deserted tracks all by himself?
Would you rather I fire you?
I'm terribly sorry, sir.
Unbelievable.
- Get going, then.
- Yes, sir.
Why that little
The team at the tracks just called.
They looked everywhere,
but the chairman is nowhere to be seen.
Where did he go then when
the event is about to begin?
He must be gravely upset
over what happened earlier.
The launching event
will commence without him.
That won't be wise.
Athene is Grandfather's masterpiece
that will affect the future
of Soonyang Motors.
Wouldn't the guests,
especially the reporters,
find it odd that
he's not present at the event?
Put together a press release.
Write that due to personal reasons
Giving a vague excuse
will only fuel the imagination
of the reporters, Uncle.
They might jump to conclusions
that the car breaking down
was due to a defect
and that
it sparked a strife between father and son.
So?
What exactly are you trying to say?
We'll have to bring Grandpa here.
How, though? We don't even know
where he is.
Don't tell me that you know.
I do.
I know where Chairman Jin currently is.
Chairman Jin was a man
who never knew of failure,
but Soonyang Motors was a bitter story.
To decompress, he'd go there to remember
his original mindset.
He never told anyone
until he wrote it in his book.
Gosh, I'm exhausted. Let's get going.
- How about pork braised ribs?
- Pork braised ribs?
- Sounds good.
- Have a good day.
- Have a good one.
- Take care.
- Let's go for a drink.
- What a day.
("My Era, My Life, My Soonyang")
"My Era, My Soonyang."
(Soonyang Motors)
Jin Yang Cheol's autobiography
was published in the year 2000
while we were all excited about
what was to come in the new millennium.
And currently, in the year 1996,
I am the only person in this whole world
who knows where he goes to decompress.
Chairman Jin is at the place
that only I know about.
He's not here.
(Soonyang Transportation)
It's Chairman Jin's delivery truck.
He mentioned it in his autobiography.
According to the book,
this is where he should be.
But he was nowhere to be seen.
Hello?
Yes, Mr. Lee.
I'm sorry, Grandpa
Why don't I call you back? Sure.
I'm here to escort you back, Grandpa.
I can't believe it.
This
Is this so hard to make properly?
That's right.
How did you know?
Sorry?
Not even Mr. Yang nor Mr. Lee
knows about this place.
How did you know to look for me here?
I couldn't tell him that
I got it from his autobiography.
I also couldn't tell him
that never did I imagine he'd be
with a high-end luxury car
rather than his old delivery truck.
Why? Did you think that
since I love high-end cars,
I'd be having a moment
with those I had collected?
Darn imbeciles.
Do Jun, is that what you also think?
That my not giving up on Soonyang Motors
is because this old man
needs a luxurious hobby?
Is that what you think?
Acquiring Hando Steel
in the hopes of making
Soonyang Motors better.
Do you also believe that
it is a waste of money?
Run along, then.
I have 2 sons who will soon be over 50.
If they can't even manage
a launching event without me, then
Well, my life was for nothing.
I do not see it as a luxurious hobby.
I believe Soonyang Motors is the engine.
It provided the power and energy
you needed
to make it this far.
The engine?
The rice mill in Incheon.
Soonyang Motors began
with you purchasing two trucks
to deliver rice.
With you providing mobility,
the rice mill became a grain market,
and you were making deliveries
with a dozen trucks.
Soonyang Transportation was born
which led to you showing interest
in petrol, chemicals, and machinery.
With a delivery system in place,
you were able to expand your business
to the distribution of consumer goods.
And that is how Soonyang Group was built.
Soonyang Transportation
was the engine that kept
Soonyang Group running.
Until you were forced to forfeit
the rights over
to the military regime
after the May 16 coup.
The experience you had back then
must be why you're against
Uncle Chang Je running for office.
Politics should be kept close,
but not too close.
Well
That's why
I thought you'd come here to see
that old delivery truck.
Why?
For memories' sake?
That's what men nearing death do.
You cheeky fool.
Was that your way of
beating around the bush
to say I'm old and dying?
Shoot.
Grandpa, I meant
I'm late. Shouldn't I give a speech
about the new car?
- Pardon?
- The engine? I like that.
From now on, if anyone asks,
can I say what you said?
Okay.
Mr. Lee.
I'm returning with the chairman now.
That's right.
Soonyang is a late starter
when it comes to automobiles.
A sturdy heavy machinery company
does well with automobiles too.
I admit that as well.
But about me, Jin Yang Cheol,
there's one thing those who lecture me
that I should only do
what I'm good at don't know.
Automobiles
are no longer heavy machinery.
It's electronics.
Electronics and semiconductors
are what Soonyang does best!
Soonyang Motors
is Soonyang's
engine!
(Athene, Soonyang Motors)
It doesn't look good, Do Jun.
Hello.
The big picture your grandfather has
for Soonyang Motors
really needs Hando Steel.
How are we to beat Power Shares
that has a sack of dollars?
If we lose Hando Steel to Power Shares,
your grandfather will be furious.
Don't you think?
Wouldn't it be fortunate?
What?
You know, Daeyoung.
I thought they'd given up on Hando
because of their poor finances.
You saw it today.
Grandpa with Chairman Ju Yeong Il.
Hando Steel.
Wouldn't it be better to lose it
to Power Shares than to Daeyoung?
Sir, a report on 4-2's movements.
Something unexpected came up
in the afternoon and
I'll call you right back. Bye.
("Will Foreign Investors
Take Hando Steel?")
(CEO Jin Dong Ki)
Daeyoung, Korea's largest company
formally expressed
its intention to the creditors
to take over Hando Steel.
There will be a fierce
three-way bidding war
between Soonyang and Power Shares
who have already made a bid.
Daeyoung Group offered 600 million dollars,
which is 100 million more
than Power Shares' offer.
This makes Daeyoung
the likely company to take over
Are you watching the news?
Yes.
As I thought, Daeyoung
joined the bidding war.
Where did Daeyoung suddenly
get so much cash?
Didn't you say just a few days ago
they had cash flow problems?
They must be betting all they have
on taking over Hando.
They got the cash through a consortium.
A consortium?
LNK Consortium. It just entered Korea,
so they can't confirm who
is actually funding Daeyoung.
This is Daeyoung we're talking about!
If we ever let Daeyoung take Hando Steel
Find out.
Consortium or not, who's funding Daeyoung.
And why they chose
this timing to invest.
Yes, sir.
Aren't you letting your emotions
take a bit too much control?
Won't you regret this later on?
Darling. I told you already.
I'll show Father who I am.
Do you think anything
can beat buying Hando Steel?
Nothing stood out about the consortium
that's working with Daeyoung
to buy Hando Steel.
But
Mr. Vice-Chairman.
Soonyang Department Store
recently liquidated some of its shares
and properties.
Soonyang Department Store
has such a healthy cash flow,
industry experts found it unusual.
- Soonyang Department Store?
- Yes.
Call them.
Say I'd like to meet CEO Jin Hwa Young.
Yes, sir.
Sir. Power Shares contacted
Hando's creditors' bank
and increased their bid
to 650 million dollars.
Then
how much must we bid in order to win?
It'll have to be at least 700 million.
The maximum amount we can put together
is 580 million, sir.
Power Shares increased their bid.
Soonyang's chances look even worse.
We can't lose Hando to Power Shares.
Call this guy.
Tell him to report to the chairman.
These photos alone aren't enough
to say Do Jun is connected
to Power Shares' Oh Se Hyeon.
Power Shares?
Where is the company based?
New York, sir.
Where did Do Jun travel
with his father recently?
New York, sir.
When two coincidences overlap,
is that still a coincidence?
A scholarship?
It's a special scholarship from
the law school alumni association.
This year, you're the recipient.
Me? Why?
They say it's from the alumni association,
but it's actually from graduates
who work at law firms.
Your father works at Seoul District
Prosecutors' Office's Special Unit.
Isn't it obvious why?
Sign here. This is the receipt.
Hi, Do Jun. Are you done photocopying?
- Yes, I'll return it now.
- Okay.
Thanks. Goodbye.
Bye. See you.
Grandpa.
I have four sons who failed to get in,
but I got to see the inside
of Korea's best university
thanks to my grandson.
Do you go on blind dates
or things like that to meet girls?
Gosh, no.
I can barely keep up with my lectures.
Okay. Don't fall too hard for anyone.
I'm worried
you'll be like your father
and end up being useless.
Are you still angry with my father?
Do Jun.
Do you know how I got to where I am now?
I never forgave those
who went against me.
Even if that person shares my blood
and is a sibling
or an offspring.
By the way, I got a call.
You withdrew all 24 million dollars.
In US dollars.
What did you spend it on?
Tell me.
In New York,
with my father,
I invested in a movie.
I thought I had a smart grandson.
I don't.
Your parents.
They're blessed with a good boy.
Flowers for Suite 3910.
Yes?
What are you doing here, Min Yeong?
These flowers are for you, sir.
Where shall I put them?
I'm glad we met. I have something to say.
I refused the alumni scholarship.
I thought you of all people
should be told.
I don't have exceptionally good grades,
and I'm not struggling.
Accepting a scholarship just because
my dad is in the Special Unit
is a privilege you think so terribly of.
So what? Are you saying
I should admire you for working
instead of accepting a scholarship?
No.
Don't give me another presumptuous advice.
While almost everyone else works,
you sit in a crazy expensive suite
to host Rachael's birthday party.
A rich heir who does that
has no right.
Young expat.
Do we have to increase the bid?
Oh
I'm working part-time, like you.
- It's from Rachael?
- Yes.
A flower basket on her boss' birthday?
What do you think?
It's a lack of imagination.
Almost as bad as assuming flowers are
a man's gift to a woman.
Who was that?
Happy birthday, sir.
This is a coupon for a free meal
at our hotel.
(Restaurant Invitation)
Do you know her?
I have for a long time.
I'm against it. We can't go any higher.
Increasing the bid from here
is no longer an investment.
What is it, then?
It's a gamble, a donation, madness.
Whatever you want to call it,
it's something I'd never do.
I take full responsibility. It's my money.
This is my career.
I can stake my career on it.
The company will flop, and if you invest
more than 700 million,
you'll never get your money back.
What should we do, then?
I must buy this company!
If you're going to insist
on such a risky investment,
why did you fly me over from New York? Why?
Because I can't do this myself.
You needed me to shield you so the market
doesn't figure out you're
Jin Yang Cheol's grandson?
Do you know who
the most dangerous investors are?
People born into money
who never experienced failure once,
and therefore can never even imagine
that they could be wrong.
People like you, young expat.
You're people I can never accept
as a partner.
Please leave this room.
Is the owner
of the chessboard
Do Jun?
Mr. Oh?
Soonyang's Chairman Jin Yang Cheol
wishes to see you.
This number includes the loan
on the real estate.
Power Shares' Oh Se Hyeon is here.
It was an unplanned visit,
and the secretaries had no idea.
Could this be a sign the chairman
will get involved
in the Hando Steel bid himself?
I guess he was displeased
with our approach.
So
I will ask you point blank.
The financier who provided
the funds for you to invest with.
Is it my grandson Do Jun?
If it were about that,
you could've asked him yourself.
Aren't you the one person
who could tell me
about him most honestly?
Because I'm a friend-turned-enemy?
You're scary.
My grandfather always took my side,
no matter what.
Mr. Oh.
You're right.
Power Shares Korea is run
with Do Jun's money.
However, the company he invested
in through Power Shares
isn't Hando Steel.
It's a small website where you can buy
and sell books.
I don't even remember what it was called.
Codabra?
Books?
Yes, he believes that
online distribution channels
will replace all
the offline distribution channels one day.
He said Codabra's company
value would reach billions of dollars
when that day came.
He said it would act as
Right, as the engine of every industry.
It's absurd, isn't it?
That's why we decided to go separate ways.
As you know,
boys need their wild dreams
and fantasies
to grow into men.
But to investors, it's like poison.
Then
What about Power Shares' decision
to invest
in Hando Steel?
Even those on Wall Street
are immensely interested
in the Northeast Asian market.
It's one of such approaches
and something I want to get done
with a sense of duty.
But then again, I do understand why
you can't help but suspect
your own grandson.
The son interfering with
the father's long-cherished ambitions.
The younger son ruining
the eldest son's accomplishments.
That's what happens
within conglomerate owner families.
Sir.
Speak of the devil.
Go on.
The one interfering with
his father's ambitions
and deliberately ruining things
for his eldest brother.
Who is it?
I suppose you didn't know.
It's a known fact among
most foreign investors.
The one who started the consortium
and funded Daeyoung Group.
It's someone in the Soonyang family.
(Daeyoung)
This is why
life is so interesting.
Who knew
I'd get help from the Soonyang family?
But what if Jin Yang Cheol finds out?
Will you be all right?
(Daeyoung)
Soonyang Fire Insurance.
It's CEO Jin Dong Ki.
(Daeyoung)
Let me ask you one thing.
Why did you decide
to betray your father
and help Daeyoung?
The eldest son succeeding.
This isn't Joseon Dynasty.
(Daeyoung Group, Jin Dong Ki)
Shouldn't the one
with proven management abilities
succeed the throne?
For the sake of Soonyang, of course.
I will tell Mr. Jin Dong Ki
to come here at once, sir.
You should
stop Dong Ki before it gets too late.
Don't bother.
Let Young Ki figure it out.
Whether he manages
to bring me Hando Steel
or lose everything to his younger brother,
let him figure it out.
But aren't you angry, sir?
What Dong Ki did
He's a businessman, after all.
If a businessman put his parents
and siblings
before his profits,
he'd never make money.
Hansung Bank said
that the most they could do
was two million dollars.
So? How much more do we need?
To beat Daeyoung and Power Shares,
we must offer at least 700 million dollars.
Seven hundred million?
Let's offer
seven hundred fifty million dollars.
We can't do that, sir.
Six hundred fifty million would be
the most we could do now.
We've maxed our loans
There are nonmonetary institutions
and loan sharks.
That's too risky.
The chairman would never
I call the shots!
I, Jin Young Ki, make the decisions.
Even if I must sell all of my shares,
I'll make sure to
Why would you sell your shares?
For whose sake?
Give us some privacy. My brother and I
have some catching up to do.
I'll give you
fifty million dollars.
I'll help you acquire Hando Steel.
And you
will help Chang Je
with his political career.
It's a good deal for both of us.
(Deluxe Taxi)
(Soonyang Wins Bidding
War Over Hando Steel)
After the long talks and
negotiations, Soonyang Group
has finally won the bidding
war over Hando Steel.
This acquisition will
synergistically benefit Soonyang
especially in the heavy equipment
and automotive industries.
Congratulations, sir.
Vice-Chairman Jin Young Ki did it.
("Soonyang Group Successfully
Acquires Hando Steel")
Oh, look who's here!
The star of the day.
Vice-Chairman Jin Young Ki is here.
What are you doing here?
Let's go inside. We should celebrate.
- Dong Ki.
- Yes?
Thanks.
Come on. Don't mention it.
Thanks to you,
I bought Hando Steel
at a very expensive price.
Why? Are you surprised?
That I know?
Young Ki, it's
You fool.
If you're already this surprised,
how am I to tell you
that Father knows too?
The employees are thrilled.
Father, we should consider absorbing all
of Hando Steel's employees
in a positive light.
I commend Young Ki
for thinking this way.
Don't you agree?
That's going to cost us.
When you win a war, you must take
your war trophies first.
I do not need a general who wishes
to exhaust his stockpile first.
Your husband's soup has gotten cold.
Jeong Rae.
No, not for me.
Give it to your husband.
He's been talking nonstop that
his soup has gotten cold.
So Hando Steel
ended up in Jin Young Ki's hands after all.
Jin Young Ki is timid and weak.
Who knew he'd make such a
bold move to acquire Hando Steel?
Congratulations.
Cheers!
Everything happened exactly
the way you wanted it to.
What kind of magic did you use?
You taught me what to do.
Me? What? When?
How to invest.
Understanding the market
means that you understand people.
I simply did exactly
what you told me to do.
Hello, I'm Ha In Seok
from the Secretary's Office.
Mr. Chairman sent me.
(Personal driver to CEO Jin Dong Ki)
I knew that Ha In Seok
was Jin Dong Ki's man.
Jin Dong Ki set up a trap to get me,
and I used it against him.
If we lose Hando Steel to Power Shares,
your grandfather will be furious.
Hando Steel.
Wouldn't it be better to lose it to
Power Shares than to Daeyoung?
Those who are blinded by greed
can't differentiate between prey and bait.
As I thought,
Daeyoung joined the bidding war.
Who knew
I'd get help from the Soonyang family?
Oh, and
I'm not sure if it was
a coincidence or fate,
but the universe sent me help.

You're people I can never accept

Please leave this room.
The one interfering with
his father's ambitions
and deliberately ruining
things for his eldest brother.
Who is it?
Soonyang Fire Insurance.
It's CEO Jin Dong Ki.
So? How much more do we need?
Let's offer
seven hundred fifty million dollars.
I call the shots!
I, Jin Young Ki, make the decisions.
In other words,
you used Jin Dong Ki's greed
to provoke Jin Young Ki's insecurities?
Because understanding people
is the number one rule in investing.
So you didn't lose Hando Steel to Soonyang.
Rather, you made them end up
with a debt of 750 million dollars
by upping the value of Hando Steel.
Right?
And
talk about perfect timing.
Here's a congratulations gift for you.
You were adamant about this even though
I had advised you against it.
Codabra, the online bookstore.
It's now listed on the Nasdaq.
Oh, they've changed the company name.
The initial public offering
was priced at 18 dollars per share.
It's nuts. It's gone up 900 percent.
A 900-percent gain!
Hey, can you even imagine
how much you've earned?
In US dollars, at that.
Now, tell me.
Can you now have what you want?
The thing you want more
and is greater than Soonyang.
Maybe?
Omyeong Group, the eighth biggest company in Korea,

Sammin Foods,
Korea's oldest and

The company filed for bankruptcy due

The government has reached out
to the International Monetary Fund
for a 20 billion-dollar aid package.
Yesterday's excitement
of standing on par
with rich countries
has turned into a disappointment overnight
as we are
drowning in debt.
My fellow citizens, I am truly sorry.
President Kim promised
that the government

the economy around.
This is only the beginning.
Your crisis.
My
opportunity.

this lifetime was an opportunity.
The foreign exchange crisis.
You knew about it, didn't you?
He acts smart, but he's foolish.
He plays the money game
but knows nothing about business.
Mr. Jin Seong Jun?
My name is Mo Hyeon Min.
You've done well finishing up the studies.
My eldest grandson.
I'm glad
that you have no interest
in running the company.
You still haven't given up?
You want to buy Ahjin Motors?
With all the debts?
Ahjin Motors. Soonyang
will buy the company.
The President got involved
with Ahjin Motors?
It looks like the President gave
his approval.
Isn't that a big deal?
A big deal.

You want to become the owner of Soonyang?
(Episode 4)
It may be
a bigger and bolder desire.
And that's why
I need Hando Steel.
It's my present.
I prepared it to welcome you back to Korea.
You're one with worldly desire
but not so deep pockets.
This over here is your actual gift.
The doughnut shop

When did a shop open up in Korea?
Soonyang FNC signed a licensing deal.
I asked my grandfather a favor.
It was brought in just for you, Mr. Oh.
Did you learn it from your grandfather?
The basic rule of investment.
The basic rule of investment?
In order to understand the flow of money,
there is something
you must first be aware of.
The people who have control over it.
Understanding the market
is the same as understanding
the players within it.
You've displayed that
by demonstrating
how well you understand me.
Oh Se Hyeon, was it?
Yes, Mr. Vice-Chairman.
Look into him.
I want to get inside his head
and know about who he meets.
(Soonyang Tire)
(Reborn Rich)
(Soonyang Group)
(Soonyang Automotive)
Goodness.
That's it.
(Daeyoung Tire)
My goodness.
Our cars went dashing as soon
as the race began.
The development team wasn't lying.
The engine power
of our latest model, Athene,
surpasses that of bigger cars.
You must be proud, Father.
If it wins the race today,
that alone could be what you talk about
at the launch this evening.
We're off to a great start.
Father, it's about Hando Steel.
Now that Power Shares is involved,
we might need to increase
the cost of acquisition.
I'll leave you to handle it.
But know that the responsibility is yours.
Sure. I'll move forward, then.
It's not just
the sports channels
and magazines that are here.
Even economic journalists are present.
They agreed beforehand
to cover the race and the launching event.
- Good.
- The media will eat this up.
It has drama, right?
Father, I wonder
what tomorrow's headline will be.
"Soonyang Motors the Worst in Its Field"
"Comes Back from Behind
in Style on the Tracks!"
How about this, then?
"The Black Sheep of the Family,"
"Soonyang Motors."
"The Speed Fanatics of Soonyang"
"Once Again Waste Their Time and Money."
The money to keep these tracks open,
the racing team operating costs,
and sponsoring tournaments.
Clinging onto a business for
years that hasn't yielded a profit
isn't like you at all.
Hwa Young.
- You
- Sir.
It's chilly outside.
Maybe you should head inside.
- Allow me to escort you.
- We should go.
- What's wrong with her?
- Well, it's
Chang Je is your one and only son-in-law.
Even sons-in-law are considered sons,
and you have the power
to give someone a seat
at the National Assembly.
How can you not care at all?
Honey, that's enough.
Chang Je
I mean, does the racing team mean
more to you than your daughter?
You.
Hwa Young, you are
my one and only daughter among my sons.
Father
Let it continue to be that way.
Let yourself remain
as my only daughter among my sons.
Don't get greedy by wanting more.
Are you saying
that you have no intention
of helping Chang Je become an assemblyman?
Never?
You are my daughter for sure.
I'm glad I won't have to say it twice.
Honey, don't be too upset.
Your father still adores you
as his one and only daughter.
It's just me who he disapproves.
So what if I'm his only daughter?
Is that supposed to be a compliment?
Don't you know what he means by the word?
Of course I do.
"Gomyeong" in Korean is the garnish
that tops off a fancy dish.
What would that imply, then?
My brothers are the entree.
Since I'm his daughter,
I'm the garnish that complements them.
That's what he meant.
Gosh, I had no idea.
I wonder if he's aware
of how clever you are.
That's what I'll do.
I should let him know.
That his daughter
isn't the garnish but the entree.
Honey, please.
Goodness me.
(Soonyang Tire)
It just finished its 24th lap.
It must complete three more
for the race to be done.
Isn't now the time for that saying?
"It's not over"
"until it's over."
Sir, Chairman Ju Yeong Il
of Daeyoung Group is here.
Hey, there, Chairman Jin.
I see you came down here early.
Chairman Ju Yeong Il of Daeyoung Group.
During the Korean War,
he defected from North Korea
completely broke
and found the group
that is now number one
in financial circles.
The two driving forces
behind the development
of the Korean economy
who rival each other in every way.
Chairman Jin Yang Cheol
and Chairman Ju Yeong Il.
The two historic legends
are right before my very eyes.
Goodness, I couldn't be more ashamed.
My boys should've known better
than to drive at full speed
while in your backyard.
They sped up as if nothing else mattered.
Youngsters these days
are just as ill-mannered as their boss.
- I apologize for that.
- Nonsense.
From what I can tell by the look
on your face,
my boys have been gracious hosts today.
I heard the news.
You're going to take over Hando Steel?
You just can't give up on Soonyang Motors.
After acquiring Hando Steel,
you hope to grow your business.
All so that you could bring me
and my group down.
Chairman Ju.
I am not a common thug.
I'm a businessman.
And businessmen should make profits.
Judging by the money you're bleeding,
one could safely call this
an old man's hobby.
Chairman Ju.
Not all good news surround you either.
Daeyoung has a high cash liquidity risk
and can't even dream about
acquiring Hando Steel.
Is that true?
Those racing cars.
They don't have reverse gear.
Once you get behind the wheel,
you can't go in reverse.
And that's that.
So,
you're adamant about
challenging us in this field.
Here.
My youngest grandson
who enrolled into SNU's law school
at the top of his class said this.
"It's not over"
"until it's over."
That's when you say it, isn't it?
Father.
What a burly young man he is.
I almost mistook him
for your bodyguard. We should sit.
It could be because of the frame
or the engine overheating,
but the car is leaking gas.
It seems as though they must retire.
- Retire?
- Yes.
Darn it.
(Soonyang Tire)
(Soonyang Heavy Machinery)
Reduce your speed, and get back to the pit.
Make a pit stop this instant!
- Right now!
- Retire?
Withdrawing midway?
Are you out of your mind?
Aren't you aware
of who's watching the race?
But sir, it could lead to
Keep racing. You'll cross the finish line.
Withdraw from the race,
and the team will be dismantled.
You won't receive
any financial support, so be it!
(Soonyang Heavy Machinery)
(Soonyang Tire)
(Daeyoung Motors)
Here's a piece of advice
you should consider.
Even with ample time,
your cars will never be better than ours.
Do you know why?
Because at Daeyoung,
there are five of me.
But no matter how closely I look,
at Soonyang,
there is only one of you.
Don't you agree?
That's something to consider.
- We're moving out.
- Sure, Father.
That darn geezer.
Father.
Please don't worry.
I resolved the matter.
You resolved the matter?
That's right. The reporters won't put
the photos in the paper,
and driving error will be reported
as the cause.
- Is that so?
- Yes.
I'll throw a few bones their way
and hand out money to the reporters
You imbecile!
You're pathetic.
Mr. Chairman!
- Mr. Chairman!
- Father.
Father!
Father, Young Ki was only doing
damage control
to save your face.
That
That being his best is the issue
I have with him.
And to think that
he'll take over the company?
Stay back.
It seems as though
he'll be heading to where
the Athene launching event will be held.
- Make sure those are set.
- Of course.
What do you mean the chairman isn't here?
Mr. Yang!
Weren't you scheduled
to escort the chairman here?
Well, while outraged, he told me
to go without him.
So?
You left the old man
at the deserted tracks all by himself?
Would you rather I fire you?
I'm terribly sorry, sir.
Unbelievable.
- Get going, then.
- Yes, sir.
Why that little
The team at the tracks just called.
They looked everywhere,
but the chairman is nowhere to be seen.
Where did he go then when
the event is about to begin?
He must be gravely upset
over what happened earlier.
The launching event
will commence without him.
That won't be wise.
Athene is Grandfather's masterpiece
that will affect the future
of Soonyang Motors.
Wouldn't the guests,
especially the reporters,
find it odd that
he's not present at the event?
Put together a press release.
Write that due to personal reasons
Giving a vague excuse
will only fuel the imagination
of the reporters, Uncle.
They might jump to conclusions
that the car breaking down
was due to a defect
and that
it sparked a strife between father and son.
So?
What exactly are you trying to say?
We'll have to bring Grandpa here.
How, though? We don't even know
where he is.
Don't tell me that you know.
I do.
I know where Chairman Jin currently is.
Chairman Jin was a man
who never knew of failure,
but Soonyang Motors was a bitter story.
To decompress, he'd go there to remember
his original mindset.
He never told anyone
until he wrote it in his book.
Gosh, I'm exhausted. Let's get going.
- How about pork braised ribs?
- Pork braised ribs?
- Sounds good.
- Have a good day.
- Have a good one.
- Take care.
- Let's go for a drink.
- What a day.
("My Era, My Life, My Soonyang")
"My Era, My Soonyang."
(Soonyang Motors)
Jin Yang Cheol's autobiography
was published in the year 2000
while we were all excited about
what was to come in the new millennium.
And currently, in the year 1996,
I am the only person in this whole world
who knows where he goes to decompress.
Chairman Jin is at the place
that only I know about.
He's not here.
(Soonyang Transportation)
It's Chairman Jin's delivery truck.
He mentioned it in his autobiography.
According to the book,
this is where he should be.
But he was nowhere to be seen.
Hello?
Yes, Mr. Lee.
I'm sorry, Grandpa
Why don't I call you back? Sure.
I'm here to escort you back, Grandpa.
I can't believe it.
This
Is this so hard to make properly?
That's right.
How did you know?
Sorry?
Not even Mr. Yang nor Mr. Lee
knows about this place.
How did you know to look for me here?
I couldn't tell him that
I got it from his autobiography.
I also couldn't tell him
that never did I imagine he'd be
with a high-end luxury car
rather than his old delivery truck.
Why? Did you think that
since I love high-end cars,
I'd be having a moment
with those I had collected?
Darn imbeciles.
Do Jun, is that what you also think?
That my not giving up on Soonyang Motors
is because this old man
needs a luxurious hobby?
Is that what you think?
Acquiring Hando Steel
in the hopes of making
Soonyang Motors better.
Do you also believe that
it is a waste of money?
Run along, then.
I have 2 sons who will soon be over 50.
If they can't even manage
a launching event without me, then
Well, my life was for nothing.
I do not see it as a luxurious hobby.
I believe Soonyang Motors is the engine.
It provided the power and energy
you needed
to make it this far.
The engine?
The rice mill in Incheon.
Soonyang Motors began
with you purchasing two trucks
to deliver rice.
With you providing mobility,
the rice mill became a grain market,
and you were making deliveries
with a dozen trucks.
Soonyang Transportation was born
which led to you showing interest
in petrol, chemicals, and machinery.
With a delivery system in place,
you were able to expand your business
to the distribution of consumer goods.
And that is how Soonyang Group was built.
Soonyang Transportation
was the engine that kept
Soonyang Group running.
Until you were forced to forfeit
the rights over
to the military regime
after the May 16 coup.
The experience you had back then
must be why you're against
Uncle Chang Je running for office.
Politics should be kept close,
but not too close.
Well
That's why
I thought you'd come here to see
that old delivery truck.
Why?
For memories' sake?
That's what men nearing death do.
You cheeky fool.
Was that your way of
beating around the bush
to say I'm old and dying?
Shoot.
Grandpa, I meant
I'm late. Shouldn't I give a speech
about the new car?
- Pardon?
- The engine? I like that.
From now on, if anyone asks,
can I say what you said?
Okay.
Mr. Lee.
I'm returning with the chairman now.
That's right.
Soonyang is a late starter
when it comes to automobiles.
A sturdy heavy machinery company
does well with automobiles too.
I admit that as well.
But about me, Jin Yang Cheol,
there's one thing those who lecture me
that I should only do
what I'm good at don't know.
Automobiles
are no longer heavy machinery.
It's electronics.
Electronics and semiconductors
are what Soonyang does best!
Soonyang Motors
is Soonyang's
engine!
(Athene, Soonyang Motors)
It doesn't look good, Do Jun.
Hello.
The big picture your grandfather has
for Soonyang Motors
really needs Hando Steel.
How are we to beat Power Shares
that has a sack of dollars?
If we lose Hando Steel to Power Shares,
your grandfather will be furious.
Don't you think?
Wouldn't it be fortunate?
What?
You know, Daeyoung.
I thought they'd given up on Hando
because of their poor finances.
You saw it today.
Grandpa with Chairman Ju Yeong Il.
Hando Steel.
Wouldn't it be better to lose it
to Power Shares than to Daeyoung?
Sir, a report on 4-2's movements.
Something unexpected came up
in the afternoon and
I'll call you right back. Bye.
("Will Foreign Investors
Take Hando Steel?")
(CEO Jin Dong Ki)
Daeyoung, Korea's largest company
formally expressed
its intention to the creditors
to take over Hando Steel.
There will be a fierce
three-way bidding war
between Soonyang and Power Shares
who have already made a bid.
Daeyoung Group offered 600 million dollars,
which is 100 million more
than Power Shares' offer.
This makes Daeyoung
the likely company to take over
Are you watching the news?
Yes.
As I thought, Daeyoung
joined the bidding war.
Where did Daeyoung suddenly
get so much cash?
Didn't you say just a few days ago
they had cash flow problems?
They must be betting all they have
on taking over Hando.
They got the cash through a consortium.
A consortium?
LNK Consortium. It just entered Korea,
so they can't confirm who
is actually funding Daeyoung.
This is Daeyoung we're talking about!
If we ever let Daeyoung take Hando Steel
Find out.
Consortium or not, who's funding Daeyoung.
And why they chose
this timing to invest.
Yes, sir.
Aren't you letting your emotions
take a bit too much control?
Won't you regret this later on?
Darling. I told you already.
I'll show Father who I am.
Do you think anything
can beat buying Hando Steel?
Nothing stood out about the consortium
that's working with Daeyoung
to buy Hando Steel.
But
Mr. Vice-Chairman.
Soonyang Department Store
recently liquidated some of its shares
and properties.
Soonyang Department Store
has such a healthy cash flow,
industry experts found it unusual.
- Soonyang Department Store?
- Yes.
Call them.
Say I'd like to meet CEO Jin Hwa Young.
Yes, sir.
Sir. Power Shares contacted
Hando's creditors' bank
and increased their bid
to 650 million dollars.
Then
how much must we bid in order to win?
It'll have to be at least 700 million.
The maximum amount we can put together
is 580 million, sir.
Power Shares increased their bid.
Soonyang's chances look even worse.
We can't lose Hando to Power Shares.
Call this guy.
Tell him to report to the chairman.
These photos alone aren't enough
to say Do Jun is connected
to Power Shares' Oh Se Hyeon.
Power Shares?
Where is the company based?
New York, sir.
Where did Do Jun travel
with his father recently?
New York, sir.
When two coincidences overlap,
is that still a coincidence?
A scholarship?
It's a special scholarship from
the law school alumni association.
This year, you're the recipient.
Me? Why?
They say it's from the alumni association,
but it's actually from graduates
who work at law firms.
Your father works at Seoul District
Prosecutors' Office's Special Unit.
Isn't it obvious why?
Sign here. This is the receipt.
Hi, Do Jun. Are you done photocopying?
- Yes, I'll return it now.
- Okay.
Thanks. Goodbye.
Bye. See you.
Grandpa.
I have four sons who failed to get in,
but I got to see the inside
of Korea's best university
thanks to my grandson.
Do you go on blind dates
or things like that to meet girls?
Gosh, no.
I can barely keep up with my lectures.
Okay. Don't fall too hard for anyone.
I'm worried
you'll be like your father
and end up being useless.
Are you still angry with my father?
Do Jun.
Do you know how I got to where I am now?
I never forgave those
who went against me.
Even if that person shares my blood
and is a sibling
or an offspring.
By the way, I got a call.
You withdrew all 24 million dollars.
In US dollars.
What did you spend it on?
Tell me.
In New York,
with my father,
I invested in a movie.
I thought I had a smart grandson.
I don't.
Your parents.
They're blessed with a good boy.
Flowers for Suite 3910.
Yes?
What are you doing here, Min Yeong?
These flowers are for you, sir.
Where shall I put them?
I'm glad we met. I have something to say.
I refused the alumni scholarship.
I thought you of all people
should be told.
I don't have exceptionally good grades,
and I'm not struggling.
Accepting a scholarship just because
my dad is in the Special Unit
is a privilege you think so terribly of.
So what? Are you saying
I should admire you for working
instead of accepting a scholarship?
No.
Don't give me another presumptuous advice.
While almost everyone else works,
you sit in a crazy expensive suite
to host Rachael's birthday party.
A rich heir who does that
has no right.
Young expat.
Do we have to increase the bid?
Oh
I'm working part-time, like you.
- It's from Rachael?
- Yes.
A flower basket on her boss' birthday?
What do you think?
It's a lack of imagination.
Almost as bad as assuming flowers are
a man's gift to a woman.
Who was that?
Happy birthday, sir.
This is a coupon for a free meal
at our hotel.
(Restaurant Invitation)
Do you know her?
I have for a long time.
I'm against it. We can't go any higher.
Increasing the bid from here
is no longer an investment.
What is it, then?
It's a gamble, a donation, madness.
Whatever you want to call it,
it's something I'd never do.
I take full responsibility. It's my money.
This is my career.
I can stake my career on it.
The company will flop, and if you invest
more than 700 million,
you'll never get your money back.
What should we do, then?
I must buy this company!
If you're going to insist
on such a risky investment,
why did you fly me over from New York? Why?
Because I can't do this myself.
You needed me to shield you so the market
doesn't figure out you're
Jin Yang Cheol's grandson?
Do you know who
the most dangerous investors are?
People born into money
who never experienced failure once,
and therefore can never even imagine
that they could be wrong.
People like you, young expat.
You're people I can never accept
as a partner.
Please leave this room.
Is the owner
of the chessboard
Do Jun?
Mr. Oh?
Soonyang's Chairman Jin Yang Cheol
wishes to see you.
This number includes the loan
on the real estate.
Power Shares' Oh Se Hyeon is here.
It was an unplanned visit,
and the secretaries had no idea.
Could this be a sign the chairman
will get involved
in the Hando Steel bid himself?
I guess he was displeased
with our approach.
So
I will ask you point blank.
The financier who provided
the funds for you to invest with.
Is it my grandson Do Jun?
If it were about that,
you could've asked him yourself.
Aren't you the one person
who could tell me
about him most honestly?
Because I'm a friend-turned-enemy?
You're scary.
My grandfather always took my side,
no matter what.
Mr. Oh.
You're right.
Power Shares Korea is run
with Do Jun's money.
However, the company he invested
in through Power Shares
isn't Hando Steel.
It's a small website where you can buy
and sell books.
I don't even remember what it was called.
Codabra?
Books?
Yes, he believes that
online distribution channels
will replace all
the offline distribution channels one day.
He said Codabra's company
value would reach billions of dollars
when that day came.
He said it would act as
Right, as the engine of every industry.
It's absurd, isn't it?
That's why we decided to go separate ways.
As you know,
boys need their wild dreams
and fantasies
to grow into men.
But to investors, it's like poison.
Then
What about Power Shares' decision
to invest
in Hando Steel?
Even those on Wall Street
are immensely interested
in the Northeast Asian market.
It's one of such approaches
and something I want to get done
with a sense of duty.
But then again, I do understand why
you can't help but suspect
your own grandson.
The son interfering with
the father's long-cherished ambitions.
The younger son ruining
the eldest son's accomplishments.
That's what happens
within conglomerate owner families.
Sir.
Speak of the devil.
Go on.
The one interfering with
his father's ambitions
and deliberately ruining things
for his eldest brother.
Who is it?
I suppose you didn't know.
It's a known fact among
most foreign investors.
The one who started the consortium
and funded Daeyoung Group.
It's someone in the Soonyang family.
(Daeyoung)
This is why
life is so interesting.
Who knew
I'd get help from the Soonyang family?
But what if Jin Yang Cheol finds out?
Will you be all right?
(Daeyoung)
Soonyang Fire Insurance.
It's CEO Jin Dong Ki.
(Daeyoung)
Let me ask you one thing.
Why did you decide
to betray your father
and help Daeyoung?
The eldest son succeeding.
This isn't Joseon Dynasty.
(Daeyoung Group, Jin Dong Ki)
Shouldn't the one
with proven management abilities
succeed the throne?
For the sake of Soonyang, of course.
I will tell Mr. Jin Dong Ki
to come here at once, sir.
You should
stop Dong Ki before it gets too late.
Don't bother.
Let Young Ki figure it out.
Whether he manages
to bring me Hando Steel
or lose everything to his younger brother,
let him figure it out.
But aren't you angry, sir?
What Dong Ki did
He's a businessman, after all.
If a businessman put his parents
and siblings
before his profits,
he'd never make money.
Hansung Bank said
that the most they could do
was two million dollars.
So? How much more do we need?
To beat Daeyoung and Power Shares,
we must offer at least 700 million dollars.
Seven hundred million?
Let's offer
seven hundred fifty million dollars.
We can't do that, sir.
Six hundred fifty million would be
the most we could do now.
We've maxed our loans
There are nonmonetary institutions
and loan sharks.
That's too risky.
The chairman would never
I call the shots!
I, Jin Young Ki, make the decisions.
Even if I must sell all of my shares,
I'll make sure to
Why would you sell your shares?
For whose sake?
Give us some privacy. My brother and I
have some catching up to do.
I'll give you
fifty million dollars.
I'll help you acquire Hando Steel.
And you
will help Chang Je
with his political career.
It's a good deal for both of us.

(Soonyang Wins Bidding
War Over Hando Steel)
After the long talks and
negotiations, Soonyang Group
has finally won the bidding
war over Hando Steel.
This acquisition will
synergistically benefit Soonyang
especially in the heavy equipment
and automotive industries.
Congratulations, sir.
Vice-Chairman Jin Young Ki did it.
("Soonyang Group Successfully
Acquires Hando Steel")
Oh, look who's here!
The star of the day.
Vice-Chairman Jin Young Ki is here.
What are you doing here?
Let's go inside. We should celebrate.
- Dong Ki.
- Yes?
Thanks.
Come on. Don't mention it.
Thanks to you,
I bought Hando Steel
at a very expensive price.
Why? Are you surprised?
That I know?
Young Ki, it's
You fool.
If you're already this surprised,
how am I to tell you
that Father knows too?
The employees are thrilled.
Father, we should consider absorbing all
of Hando Steel's employees
in a positive light.
I commend Young Ki
for thinking this way.
Don't you agree?
That's going to cost us.
When you win a war, you must take
your war trophies first.
I do not need a general who wishes
to exhaust his stockpile first.
Your husband's soup has gotten cold.
Jeong Rae.
No, not for me.
Give it to your husband.
He's been talking nonstop that
his soup has gotten cold.
So Hando Steel
ended up in Jin Young Ki's hands after all.
Jin Young Ki is timid and weak.
Who knew he'd make such a
bold move to acquire Hando Steel?
Congratulations.
Cheers!
Everything happened exactly
the way you wanted it to.
What kind of magic did you use?
You taught me what to do.
Me? What? When?
How to invest.
Understanding the market
means that you understand people.
I simply did exactly
what you told me to do.
Hello, I'm Ha In Seok
from the Secretary's Office.
Mr. Chairman sent me.
(Personal driver to CEO Jin Dong Ki)
I knew that Ha In Seok
was Jin Dong Ki's man.
Jin Dong Ki set up a trap to get me,
and I used it against him.
If we lose Hando Steel to Power Shares,
your grandfather will be furious.
Hando Steel.
Wouldn't it be better to lose it to
Power Shares than to Daeyoung?
Those who are blinded by greed
can't differentiate between prey and bait.
As I thought,
Daeyoung joined the bidding war.
Who knew
I'd get help from the Soonyang family?
Oh, and
I'm not sure if it was
a coincidence or fate,
but the universe sent me help.

There's a bug in the flower basket.
You're people I can never accept
as a partner.
Please leave this room.
The one interfering with
his father's ambitions
and deliberately ruining
things for his eldest brother.
Who is it?
Soonyang Fire Insurance.
It's CEO Jin Dong Ki.
So? How much more do we need?
Let's offer
seven hundred fifty million dollars.
I call the shots!
I, Jin Young Ki, make the decisions.
In other words,
you used Jin Dong Ki's greed
to provoke Jin Young Ki's insecurities?
Because understanding people
is the number one rule in investing.
So you didn't lose Hando Steel to Soonyang.
Rather, you made them end up
with a debt of 750 million dollars
by upping the value of Hando Steel.
Right?
And
talk about perfect timing.
Here's a congratulations gift for you.
You were adamant about this even though
I had advised you against it.
Codabra, the online bookstore.
It's now listed on the Nasdaq.
Oh, they've changed the company name.
The initial public offering
was priced at 18 dollars per share.
It's nuts. It's gone up 900 percent.
A 900-percent gain!
Hey, can you even imagine
how much you've earned?
In US dollars, at that.
Now, tell me.
Can you now have what you want?
The thing you want more
and is greater than Soonyang.
Maybe?

Ahjin Motors. Soonyang

The President got involved
with Ahjin Motors?
It looks like the President gave
his approval.
Isn't that a big deal?
