"I'm going to be a middle school student now, uncle."

"What? Already?"

"Yes. I'll be enrolled in March."

"Not yet. Hey! But aren't you surprised? Can't you see the box office results? Do you even know the value of the dollar?"

When I was sour without much response, Oh Se-hyun's look became suspicious again.

"We invested $8 million out of $18 million in production, so our percentage is 44%. Excluding distributor and theater profits, it brings about half of the total profits, right?"

"I think so."

"$200 million Today's exchange rate is 740 won, so 148 billion won. Half would be 74 billion, 44% of which would be 33 billion. Isn't that six times the profit?"

Oh Se-hyun's narrowed eyes looked stunned. Older men were always surprised by a child's mental capacity. The good thing about being young was that my brain worked very smoothly.

"It's not a big deal considering the return on Microsoft or Dell computers, is it?"

"Well, that's true. But 6 times more in a year is amazing; a super hit. Moreover, $200 million is just the revenue in the United States. It's going to be released all over the world, so you'll earn at least twice as much."

"Uncle."

"Huh?"

"New York Miracle employees, tell them to do their job well."

"Why? They work day and night."

"Not hard, but well! The lowest return on investment I've decided is six times. What is the return on their own investment they manage?

"Well, it's"

"It's only 22 per cent."

Oh Se-hyun kept his mouth shut. What saved him, as he was still silent, was my father who barged in.

"Hey! Don't you know I'm busy? What's wrong with you?"

My father, who burst open my door, took off his coat and said.

I heard that recently, my father was busy trying to secure the release of two movies made by his production company.

"Why? You still haven't set the premiere?"

"Oh, don't even say it. The whole theater was empty during the Lunar New Year."

"What? It's not full?"

"It's because I'm waiting for the perfect movie for the Lunar New Year holiday. The mega hit last Christmas season, Home Alone. An American movie."

"Is the movie that great to endure waiting with the theater empty?"

It was then Oh Se-hyun's mischief began.

"It's a family movie and a comedy. It's perfect for the Lunar New Year holidays. Besides, it's been verified in the US. It's breaking the all-time comedy box office record."

"Is that why you can't bet on your movie?"

"Home Alone walks me out of the theater."

My father's expression was not so good. He looked as if he was in a dilemma.

"Hey, I heard there's a Korean distributor for this movie, but I don't know where it is. The whole Chungmuro is in chaos now. I'll have to meet the guy who holds the film to adjust the date or set the movie theater I'm going crazy."

Oh Se-hyun, who enjoyed this scene to the fullest, finally said in a solemn voice,

"You should bow to me first."

"There's no time for pranks. Just tell me what you need."

"I know who the Korean distributor of the hit movie is. Don't you want to bow yet?"

"What?"

Oh Se-hyun handed out a document to my surprised father. Quickly snatching the document and reading it down, he swallowed dry saliva.

"Hey, this is"

"Did you forget all your English? Don't you understand?"

My father couldn't take his eyes off the company name printed in the signature box at the bottom of the document.

<Jun film>

"What the hell is this What happened?"

"Just sign and Home Alone is yours. If you don't like it, quit."

When Oh Se-hyun tried to take the documents back, father quickly signed them and put them in. Seeing how he took care of the contract without asking for details, I could tell how urgent and anxious he was.

"Father, show your movie first, not that movie during the holidays."

Their eyes were on me.

"Why don't you say you're giving Home Alone to a theater that shows your father's movies? Isn't the Lunar New Year's holiday the peak season?"

As soon as he finished talking, Oh Se-hyun burst into laughter.

"Listen to your son. You listen to Dojun carefully and do what he tells you to do. Then there would be no failure. Hehe."

My father opened his mouth, alternating between the papers and my face.

"Dojun, let's take care of this in detail."

Father took his coat and hurried out. As I looked at him, I could see how urgent it was for him right now.

"Oh, my God, that guy he's still the same."

"What?"

"Huh? Oh, your father. If he's into something, he doesn't see anything else. When he was studying in London, if he found a good play, he would watch it dozens or hundreds of times. All he's into right now is his movie theater. He didn't even ask why Home Alone is in our hands."

"It's good to focus, you know."

I picked up a piece of paper with the box office profit of $200 million written on it.

"Uncle. Let's invest all this money in the movie that's going to be produced this year. Let's pick a list and listen to the opinions of the U.S. then let's decide and proceed."

"All of them? Dojun, I'm satisfied with one shot..."

Oh Se-hyun swallowed his words.

He must have thought that he, with a yield of only 22%, was not in the position to tell me who gained 600%.

Advice is appropriate when given from a higher position to a lower one.

Superiority or inferiority is not determined by age but by the outcome.

"Okay. Let's get a list of movies that are being planned or produced in Hollywood first. If Miracle says they want it, Hollywood producers will step in first."

Oh Se-hyun took his bag and went back.

I also had to spend more time studying until I graduated from middle school. That way, Chairman Jin's expectations would not decrease only when I maintained my top performance.

For the next three years, I was free to choose a successful movie.

I hoped nothing special would happen because there were so many waves in the family.

A few days before the Lunar New Year holiday, the newspaper with the largest circulation published an editorial with a unique perspective.

[The lax management of an ownerless company. Is it a structural weakness of a large company with a professional management system?]

Last year, Ajin Motor Company's management performance was excellent.

in the middle

Ajin Motors, which has a professional management system, is standard to pay large dividends to shareholders. However, Ajin Motor's management was busy growing their size instead of shareholders' interests.

It has established new affiliates such as Ajin Machinery and Ajin Precision, and has poured funds from Ajin Motors into the company.

For whom? Of course it was for the expansion of management.

Dozens of other executives had now been born. They would decide whether to fill their own pockets or their shareholders' pockets.

However, is it due to my old age that I don't believe in that decision?

Song Hyun-chang, chairman of Ajin Motor Co., who threw the newspaper, pressed the intercom and shouted,

"Tell all the executives to gather! Including the head of the PR department! Right now!"

After a few minutes, there was a knock and about a dozen people came in.

There was a sofa where only eight people could sit, but not a single person satbecause the chairman was standing.

Some of them were holding newspapers, too.

"What's this? Who did this?"

Chairman Song grabbed the newspaper and shook it.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I'm looking into it now."

There was also a man who stood quivering among the people who could not raise their heads or make eye contact.

Seeing that he still had almost no gray hairs, he must be in charge of the public relations office.

"Don't you give advertisements to Daehan Ilbo?"

The man also answered the chairman's question.

"No, I'm not. I'm not"

"Then you paid him to betray us? Oh, my God!"

Chairman Song, who exhaled only a rough breath while biting his lips, shouted at the public relations manager.

"Hey! PR!"

"Yes, sir."

"Go right now and find out what they want, whether you give money to the people who hold the pen or give them a woman."

The public relations director bowed and hurried out of the chairman's office.

"Chairman, I think you're being too sensitive. Isn't it the method that newspaper reporters use when they clamor for more advertising?"

"They're saying it's all thanks to them that our new car has received such tremendous popularity. If we run a full-page ad for a week, everything will change."

The management's old men, who managed to pluck up their courage, spoke carefully to relieve Chairman Song's anger, but they seemed to have added fuel.

"You guys! What are you talking about? If that's the reason, shouldn't we be bashing our new car instead of bashing the management team? Are you in your right mind?"

Then everyone came to their senses.

The media was also vigilant. When you ask for something, you hit a product, not a person. Merchants had no emotion, but people were animals of emotion.

In particular, attacking management was no different from declaring a war to turn your back on it.

"This is suspicious. There's something."

Chairman Song, who was pacing around his office, gave the management a fierce look.

"Find out who did it until lunchtime. I believe that everyone can find out that much information."

When management left the chairman's office, Chairman Song slumped on the sofa.

In the night, the bed was in a mess His anxiety didn't go away.

Chairman Jin, who folded the newspaper and put it down in the corner of the table, raised a spoon.

He thought to himself that it was indeed the work of the editor-in-chief of the "Daehan Ilbo".

It was a natural step in management to establish a subsidiary to produce core parts for the increased number of automobiles.

They distorted it as if A-Jin Motors management immorality and the existence of a non-owner large corporation creating an unnecessary subsidiary to promote their own people.

Read only on

It was a clever writing skill that caught two rabbits, making A-Jin Motors' management's immorality and non-owner large corporations exist like a device without safety measures.

When Chairman Jin, who had a pleasant breakfast after a long time, went to the study, Lee Hak-jae, who was reading the newspaper, stood up and bowed his head.

"Hey, just eat breakfast here. Can't I have a table with you?"

"Would the meal be served properly if I ate with the chairman? I'll just listen to your words," replied Lee Hak-jae

Chairman Jin looked at Lee Hak-jae's hand and smiled.

"How is it? Did you choose well?"

"Yes, it came out appropriately as a signal."

"When will the 2nd phase began?"

"Just the day before the Lunar New Year holiday, all the central daily newspapers will shoot. Ajin Motors should be the talk of the town at this Lunar New Year's Day. The plan is to make Ajin Motors hard at the table."

"What about the National Tax Service?"

"It's being adjusted. If they audit us too strictly, we will be completely exposed. They could leak information to other places"

"We can't give them a reason to turn on us."

Chairman Jin nodded.

"Yes, to the point where management is shaken? Anyway, the goal is Song Hyun-chang's resignation."

Hak-jae glanced at the chairman's expression and pulled out a thick booklet.

"This is the report you mentioned. It's prepared by the Sunyang Economic Research Institute."

Chairman Jin only glanced at the title of the report.

"The Necessity of Structural Reorganization in the Domestic Automobile Industry and the Government's Support Plan"

"How is it? Is it okay to use?"

"You've made a good choice."

"By the way, the research center's staff are such ambiguous people. It takes eight months to produce just one of these reports?"

"The issue itself is so significant and important that the institute had to be cautious to avoid mistakes. Since it turned out well, let's move on.

"Are you just going to let it go? Am I supposed to catch those guys myself?"

"It seems like you've been very sensitive lately. I apologize."

"I think you're more sensitive because there's a big fight ahead. Why? Is your blood boiling?

Lee Hak-jae scratched his head and smiled.

"Isn't this kind of surprise attack more thrilling than a frontal assault?"

"A surprise attack is used by a small person to hit a big person"

"It also has the advantage of less bleeding. We need to start an all-out war soon."

Chairman Jin was able to feel his fighting spirit from Lee Hak-jae's intense eyes.

At first, he hesitated and warned of danger, but once the fight began, he became even more excited than himself, the chairman.

It proved once again that he was a born fighter.

Chairman Jin felt a little sorry for him.

If Lee Hak-jae's parents were castle lords, he would have become a tremendously powerful monarch

His parents were commoners, so he only played the role of an outstanding hound.

As he thought about this, he thought of another fighter.

That guy's grandfather was a feudal lord who owned a tremendous territory.

He wanted to watch how he would grow up... with joy in his heart.
