Kim Hak-gwon, the President-elect, didn’t rush to answer my question. But knowing the politician Kim Hak-gwon, I could more or less guess what was on his mind. He wanted to leave his mark on history. "If you manage to overcome the IMF crisis during your term and reform the reckless corporate culture of the conglomerates, you’ll be remembered as a good president, even after your time in office." "Haha, a good president, huh..." "Korea's corporate culture has been heavily influenced by Japan. What…-

After winning the acquisition battle against Il-seong Group and Jungwoo Group tto take over Ashin Motors, Daehyeon Group faced a liquidity crisis affecting not only Daehyeon Motors but all its subsidiaries due to the costs involved. "The curse of victory..." "The acquisition costs aren't the issue. The expenses for normalization will be astronomical, especially since Ashin Motors, like Daehyeon Motors, has a very strong union." I shook my head. "To secure labor market flexibility as per the IMF's…

When I mentioned I wanted to take over Jungwoo Group, President Yoon only chuckled. "You know, just having money doesn't mean you can take over a conglomerate, right?" "I know that, but if we don’t act now, especially with the IMF having taken over our economic sovereignty, we might miss our chance."

Beyond wealth, their intricate web of connections, formed through marriage and social ties, binds them together…

The 400 billion won I received from my grandfather became the seed money for an investment that brought me immense wealth. "Yes, it's my company." Given the numerous articles about Han Gyeong-yeong, my grandfather couldn't possibly be unaware. He knew I had asked Chief Ha to locate Han Gyeong-yeong and then sent him to the U.S. However, unless it was the U.S. government, no one could know exactly how much capital I had. "This all started with my slush fund, right?" "Yes, I began investing with that…

Surviving in Korea's political arena was quite an achievement. Especially for opposition figures under the scrutiny of a ruthless military regime...

Han Gyeong-yeong's arrival in Korea was a feast for the media. He was the kind of figure that would captivate the South Korean press. A Korean immigrant thriving in New York's Wall Street, the financial epicenter of the world, was a chance to boost the country’s tarnished image after the IMF crisis. Even before his arrival, numerous feature articles had decorated the front pages. With such provocative headlines, Han Gyeong-yeong felt overwhelmed. As he stepped out of immigration, the sudden…

I was watching the joint speech of the presidential candidates being broadcast live from my grandfather's study. The unexpected announcement of the unification shocked me. The startled face of the progressive party's Kim Hak-gwon candidate appeared on the TV. It contrasted sharply with the expression of the conservative party's Seong Dae-kyu. "Things are getting interesting. I bet the Cheongpung Group is behind this," my grandfather's words turned out to be true. "I never expected them to play the…

"You say Dream High Investment is acting strangely?" "Yes, your boss is suddenly buying up all the positions lost in the market crash, not just in the U.S. but across Europe, Japan—everywhere!" George Soros, focused on the attack on Hong Kong, paused his work at his assistant's words and fell deep into thought. What are they thinking? But no matter how hard he thought, their actions made no sense. Unless the global stock markets crashed simultaneously, there was no way to profit from such…

"Yes, yes, understood," Lee Yong-hyun, chairman of the Cheongpung Group, held the phone politely as he conversed with someone. After a moment, he hung up and sank into serious thought. "Chairman, Candidate Choi Chang-geun has arrived," "Really? Let him in," The door opened, revealing one of the presidential candidates, Choi Chang-geun. He approached Lee Yong-hyun and performed a deep bow. "Chairman, how have you been?" "It's been a while. How's the preparation for the presidential race?" "Thanks…

Future Building. I constructed a single building on the 1,000-pyeong lot in Daechi-dong that I took from Chairman Hyun-bo, instead of the two originally planned. I had planned for Han Gyeong-yeong to use it when he came to Korea, but I thought it would be better to get a small office for his good guy act. In the end, this place was meant to be Eva's stronghold. "I’ve decorated the top floor like a hotel; you can stay there." "When can I take a look?" "How about the end of this year? Do you like it?…
