The finances of Leeds United were an absolute mess. Not only were the salaries of franchise players exorbitant, but even those unproven players were being overpaid. That wasn't all. The coaching staff and the management were also receiving significantly higher salaries compared to other clubs. It was as if it showcased the complete failure of fiscal responsibility. Setting down the documents detailing the players' wages, along with the coaches and staff, I lifted my glass. Observing this, Han…-

At Han Gyeong-yeong's bombshell statement, Masayoshi Son asked with a seriou expression. "Are you really saying that Apple is going to transfer its shares? Directly from CEO Steve Jobs?" Seeing the bewilderment etched on his face, Han Gyeong-yeong couldn't help but smile triumphantly. "If you don't believe me, why not ask the chairman to confirm it with Apple directly?" Masayoshi Son, taken aback by HanGyeong-yeong's confidence, furrowed his brow unconsciously. ‘This shouldn’t be…

Murdoch's phone kept ringing. I silently watched him, debating whether to answer as he wore a smiling face. Soon, Manager Ma walked in. The look he gave me indicated that things had wrapped up well. Once I confirmed that Manager Ma had quietly taken his place behind me, I subtly urged Murdoch on. "It’s still ringing. Sounds important; you can answer it," I said. "..." After a moment of hesitation, Murdoch finally pressed the call button. He spoke on the phone for about five minutes, his face a mix…

The conversation had shifted to soccer, and two hours had already flown by. Roman rambled on about the future of the soccer club he dreamed of. "For the time being, I'm passing the Russian business to my son and focusing solely on growing the soccer club." "Is it really that great?" "Absolutely. This has been my dream since I started my business. Becoming the owner of a prestigious club and creating the team I desire to build the best club possible has been a vision I've always had." It seemed that the…

I had lunch at the hotel while chatting with Manager Ma, my eyes constantly scanning the surroundings. "Boss, it seems like more than just a few places are watching us." "Looks that way, doesn’t it?" "Yeah. There are quite a few people sticking close to us." If I could sense them, Manager Ma must have noticed even more gazes. Seems like there are more people interested in me than I thought. "What should we do?" "With them stalking us so openly, it doesn't seem like simple surveillance... Let’s…

Before heading to the UK, I decided to meet with Cheon Ji-young after quite some time. "Mu-hyeok Oppa!" I turned at the sound that called out to me from the hotel lobby. Cheon Ji-young burst through the hotel door, waving excitedly and running towards me. Thanks to her, all eyes were naturally drawn to us, and I felt the weight of curious stares and murmurs wondering if it was really Cheon Ji-young. 'Why can't she grow up even as she ages...?' Whether she knew how people stared or not, she rushed…

The topic Chairman Song Young-ju raised at the Hanjong meeting sent ripples through the business world. The chaebols who had been running companies since the Cheon Tae-san days were the firstdecide where to align themselves. However, those who had recently joined the ranks of large corporations due to the IMF crisis and IT bubble still hadn't grasped the fears of Myeong-dong. Perhaps that's why they were cautiously gauging the atmosphere. And this news had reached the ears of Chairman Song…

The heads of large corporations had no reason to trust one another. They would sometimes resort to arranged marriages to establish familial bonds, but such trust rarely lasted long. Those gathered here were chaebols, all eager to seize any opportunity to acquire more companies from rival groups. Chairman Seo Yong-geon's proposal was ideal in theory, yet the real-world implementation would be a daunting challenge. "If it's the insight of Chairman Wang, we can all trust it. The other chairpersons here…

Wen Jiabao's downfall was a scenario I hadn't anticipated. I thought it was merely a matter of taming him, but it seemed Jiang Zemin had really sharpened his claws. Once Jiang Zemin set his mind to something, escaping was nearly impossible. If he were the leader of one of the other two factions outside of the Shanghai clique, political negotiations could have been attempted. However, Wen Jiabao was an independent player with no factional ties. Such a person wouldn't have anyone willing to save…

After visiting Chairman Song Young-ju in the hospital, I opened the door and stepped outside. Seeing Manager Ma and Chairman Song's secretary both wearing uncomfortable expressions in the quiet lobby made me chuckle. I turned away after hearing a bit more about Chairman Song's health. "Let's take our leave now." "Yes, Boss." I descended to the parking garage with Manager Ma. Once in the car, I briefly recounted my conversation with Chairman Song. "It doesn't really matter if we have Chairman Song's…
