“hmm.”
When asked how much it was, Park Sung-soo briefly glanced at the brothers Ko Hyeon-wook and Ko Hyeon-seok.
Goh Hyun-wook nodded quietly and read the numbers on his phone.
“Cash assets are about 280 billion won. So 2 percent is about 5.6 billion.”
280 billion.
The amount is lower than expected for the wealth of the head of a chaebol.
But it’s not that strange.
When it comes time to inherit, cash assets are often disposed of.
No, to be precise, it is made into cash and then hidden so that the state cannot find out.
There’s probably a lot more cash that hasn’t been formally counted.
However, I have no intention of calculating them individually.
By the way, the amount I expected from my side has already far exceeded.
father…
I didn’t know that the existence that it’s hard to call it like that even wrote down my name and specified the inheritance in proportion.
Still, there was a part that touched my heart at the words ‘my son Hyeonjun’.
He’s a person I haven’t even come to since I entered middle school.
Still, it seems that he had feelings for me as his son when he wrote his will.
“And stocks…”
Park Sung-soo continued.
“yes.”
“In fact, stocks are so volatile that it is a bit difficult to say. Even now, the stock price is changing every moment.”
When I heard that, I burst out laughing.
“ha ha ha. Still, please tell me a little bit. After all, there is an upper limit and a lower limit, so stock fluctuations don’t go crazy like coins, so what can you say?”
“…”
Park Sung-soo made a slightly embarrassed expression.
The reaction of the 22-year-old college student seemed to be more confident than expected.
“You could just tell us the time the stock market opens this morning.”
After I added this, Park Sung-soo scratched his head.
Then, he glanced at Ko Hyeon-wook.
‘Hyunwook hyung’s succession work seems to be taking place without any threat. There must be a lot of challenges because they are in their 20s.’
I felt that way just by looking at Park Sung-soo.
Certainly, he was a different human being even if something was different from when he was young.
It is not easy to train the successor of a large company.
In addition, L Group was far ahead of other companies in terms of the organization’s ranking.
“Um… I’m sorry. I didn’t expect you to say that, so I didn’t calculate it.”
Park Sung-soo said.
joy. it’s funny
If I were the representative, I would cut off the head of the legal team who said things like this right away.
But I can answer this because there is a reason.
They don’t want to tell me the exact amount.
I can’t help but think that he is deliberately pretending to be foolish for his boss.
“okay.”
I replied with a slightly sarcastic tone.
Then, Ko Hyeon-wook smiled slightly. But he didn’t say anything.
“I think the stocks the chairman owned would be very diverse. Just tell me some major stocks.”
“yes. In fact, the stocks the chairman owned are really diverse. There are 72 species.”
“So, you mean 3 percent of all of that?”
“yes. It is so stated.”
“her.”
“So it’s a bit difficult to call out all 72 of them here…”
Park Sung-soo put on a troubled expression.
There was an intention to somehow inform the amount and category and less.
“Father… No, please tell me a few of the biggest stocks the chairman owns.”
I said, and added again.
“Please tell us mainly about L Group affiliates. Of course, you probably own a lot of stocks in companies that don’t have the letter L.”
“her. That bastard must have studied a lot.”
Go Hyun-seok muttered.
“Be quiet!”
Ko Hyeon-wook’s voice was sharp but low.
“Because I am just like my mother. If you pretend to be innocent and take off one layer of skin, you’ll be stubborn…”
Ko Hyun-seok lowered his voice and muttered. but i hear it all
“Tell me.”
Ko Hyeon-wook said to Park Seong-soo, who hesitated.
“First of all, 4.9 percent of L Electronics stock, 5.1 percent of L Automobile, and 39 percent of L Life.”
“…”
I gulped.
If you think that the proportion of stocks you own is more than half because you are the head of a conglomerate, you are mistaken.
Because they tend to spread the stock to their children as much as possible.
No matter how bloody he is, how did I know my father’s stock holdings after I had lost contact for several years?
I expected it to be set at about 3 to 4 percent for each affiliate.
By the way, 39% of L life?
What was the market cap of L Life these days?
Wait, although L Electronics owns a small number of shares, the value of each share is higher.
‘I can’t calculate…’
“My father’s stake is about 4 trillion if you add it up. It’s 3 percent of that, so it will be around 120 billion.”
Goh Hyun-wook said.
“…”
I was at a loss for a moment on how to answer.
That’s too much money.
Cash assets are nothing. 125.6 billion combined with cash inheritance of 5.6 billion?
You left so much for me?
To a child out of wedlock you haven’t seen in close to 10 years?
“When was that will drawn up?”
I looked at Park Jung-soo and asked.
“It was 15 years ago. It is April 2006.”
“ah.”
Then there is the aspect that makes sense.
At that time, my father was not the chairman of L Group, nor was he a legitimate successor.
However, things changed dramatically and my father eventually inherited the entire L Group, and it took less than a year and a half for the game to turn upside down.
‘At that time, even my father would never have thought that 3 percent of his stock would exceed 100 billion won.’
I nodded.
“Can I go to the bathroom for a minute?”
“huh? okay.”
Hearing my words, Ko Hyeon-wook replied like this.
“Puha! After calculating the amount, do you feel like peeing? ‘Cause it’s too much money for you did you hit the lottery? It’s not the Korean lotto, it’s the American lotto.”
Go Hyun-seok made fun of him.
“yes. I suddenly need to pee.”
“huh?”
Since I obediently agreed, Ko Hyeon-seok was rather taken aback.
“yes. I have a habit of peeing when money is mentioned. Seeing that you know that too, I guess it’s our family history?”
I said with a grin.
“what?”
Ko Hyeon-seok’s eyes widened.
“I’ll be gone for a while.”
“Ha… that bastard is still the same. Because it looks like a parasitic long rain.”
Leaving Ko Hyun-seok’s muttering behind, I headed to the bathroom.
Of course, it wasn’t because I really needed to pee.
When I arrived at the bathroom, I sat down on the toilet seat and started browsing the internet.
My father, chairman Jang’s holdings, and the asset values of L Electronics and L Life Insurance, which I think will be the most valuable.
“joy. It is too.”
I was able to get quite a lot of information in 1 minute.
It was because of the L Group inheritance issue that was making headlines.
Looking at Park Seong-soo’s attitude now, it is clear that he is trying to play a joke while executing the inheritance.
A woman who was forcibly retired from the entertainment industry after getting pregnant with my father’s child, that is, me, when my mother was a rookie actress.
And I, the son, am now a 22-year-old third-year college student.
I lived on child support from my father, but when my father was bedridden, even that was almost cut off and I lived in poverty.
He must have thought that there was no need to hide that he had such an ulterior motive from me.
They would have thought that if Goh Hyun-wook showed a smiling face and said a few kind words, he would smile broadly and listen to all their requests.
“joy. It’s shameful.”
As he muttered, he was about to put the phone in his pocket.
– Jiying. Jiing.
huh? What is this?
A different pattern from KakaoTalk’s vibration and Facebook’s vibration.
Intrigued, I unlocked my phone again and checked the notification.
– New subscribers.
“huh? What is this?”
When I clicked on the notification window, I was able to check the contents.
I had 1 subscriber to my channel on YouTube.
“No… What kind of subscribers do you get on a channel that hasn’t made a single video yet. He has nothing to do.”
I muttered this and put the phone back in my pocket.
It was then that I suddenly realized something.
what? Why, at this timing?
I took out my phone again and stared blankly at the bathroom exit.
Did those people start investigating my background?
