Chapter 797: School Bully Rumor (1)
"Yes. I plan to give Chief Jung 3% of Jinseong Hotel & Resort."
At its current valuation of roughly 1 trillion won, that 3% stake was worth close to 30 billion won. At its peak valuation of 2 trillion won, it would be worth 60 billion.
Jin Dae-Woon had just declared he would give nearly 30 billion won worth of stock not to a family member, but to an outsider.
Naturally, Choi Eun-Tae's voice dropped in suspicion.
-What's your angle? A penny-pincher like you wouldn't hand over that kind of money without a reason.
"Why wouldn't I have a reason? Chief Jung is an indispensable partner to my heirs. Just like you and I were in our younger days. Giving him a stake to keep him close to my kids? That's a bargain."
A moment of silence fell. Then Choi Eun-Tae responded in his famously flat, emotionless tone.
-Fine. Then let me give you one piece of advice.
"What is it, hyung-nim?"
-I don't care what else you do. But if you ever try to use or manipulate Chief Jung for your own schemes... I won't let it go. Just like twenty years ago.
Twenty years ago was when Jinseong Inc. was still finding its footing. At the time, Jin Dae-Woon had made a reckless financial move that nearly collapsed the company. It was Choi Eun-Tae who had saved him with a large emergency loan.
But relying solely on their long-standing relationship, he deliberately avoided repaying the money even when the due date arrived. It was because he had his eye on a new investment opportunity. So instead of paying back the debt, he launched a new venture.
