Chapter 37: Bad Things (2)
“And... there’s another important thing. It can’t be Ha Yeong-il, it has to be Alpha Fund that takes center stage. It’s better if the fund holds the title, not an individual hogging all the fame.”
This fund was something I’d have to absorb later. If all the fame ended up with Ha Yeong-il, there could be a clash.
I’m sure Ha Joo-seong would handle it well, but people are unpredictable. I’ve got to keep Yeong-il in check so he doesn’t get any funny ideas.
You lock your doors not to keep thieves out, but to stop friendly neighbors from turning into thieves. Expecting Ha Yeong-il to become the top name on Wall Street and not betray me? That’s a stretch.
“Besides, I trust Ha Yeong-il, but we don’t know his limits, right?”
“Yeah, that’s true. I was worried he might screw up and drag us down, but that makes me feel better.”
Older now, and more in tune with reality, Ha Joo-seong nodded. For him, that kind of assurance was probably a relief.
After all, it meant that even if Ha Yeong-il crashed and burned, I wasn’t going to just throw him away.
“Oh, and how’s the investment banking side coming along?”
“We’ve been short on time, so I didn’t spend too much effort there. But I’ve got the basics in place... take a look.”
He handed me some documents. I skimmed through, checking over the plan.
‘Not bad.’
