The Youngest Son of Sunyang

"Who knows when and how you'll use this contract, but do it after I retire and leave the country. I don't want to go to jail."

As the two left, Oh Sehyun handed me the contract.

"This contract can't be made public."

"You devil. Do you already know that a bomb's power is most effective when you hold onto it?"

"No. I'm planning to give this to my grandfather."

"Hey! Are you crazy? Giving that? That's like Chairman Jin grabbing me by the neck."

"Uncle, my grandfather has no interest in professional managers. He's always the one holding the owner's leash. He'll use this contract as a switch to keep my aunt from having any other thoughts." Reassuring the surprised Oh Sehyun, I had to let him know it wasn't over yet. "When my grandfather is sure that my grandmother uncle won't get away, he'll allow him to run for Seoul Mayor."

"Chairman Jin is really ruthless. Don't even trust his own children."

"I've made others trust me while not trusting anyone. That's how I got to where I am. Grandfather probably doesn't completely trust me either."

"Since we're talking about it, let me ask one thing." Oh Sehyun, who had been leaning on the couch, stood up and his expression turned serious. "17.7%. That's your net ownership stake in Sunyang Group. You'll need to acquire at least 80% to become the owner of the Sunyang Group Chairman's office. Well, even if we say 80%, it's less than 10% of the total group shares... Anyway, how much do you think Chairman Jin will pass on to you?"

"All of the head! Nothing of the heart."

"What?"

"Chairman Jin knows there isn't a single person other than me who can run Sunyang Group. But the inherent nature he originally possessed is that he only cares about himself. He doesn't want to give anything to anyone else. If he can bury Sunyang Group together with him when he passes away, that's what he'd want."

"I'm not asking about that nobleman's greed. I'm talking about a realistic view."

"I don't know either. When reason and emotion clash, reason doesn't always win."

"You don't know?"

"No. But it doesn't matter. I've decided to think of the ownership passed down by my grandfather as just a bonus."

As a bonus, it should be quite substantial.

Not a one notable son, but an exceptional grandson with outstanding abilities. Even though not a son but still a member of the bloodline.

I believe that this is the best way to secure the largest possible bonus.

"Anyway, this contract will play a significant role."

We've passed phase one. Now we need to move on to phase two.

"Uncle, out of the 32 billion dollars, we have 10 billion dollars converted at Sunyang, leaving us with 22 billion dollars, right?"

Oh Sehyun's expression changed.

"Why? Are you going to use that?"

"It needs to be converted when it's valuable. Anyway, once you subtract that, how much will be left in Miracle USA's operating funds?"

"About 4 or 5 billion dollars will remain. There won't be much of your money in it. It's mostly from regular investors."

"So even if I withdraw all my money, Miracle USA still has things to do, right?"

"Of course. Those guys have skills. They're not just idling around. Of course, they might be a bit shocked if you withdraw all your money. But what are you going to use that money for?"

"It's valuable dollars, so we need to use them valuably. Right after the presidential election."

"What?"

"The government is sure to change, so I plan to give it as a gift for winning the presidential election."

It's quite fun to see my uncle's surprised expressions from time to time. Just like now.

"W-What are you thinking? Stop mimicking the chaebols!"

"Uncle, you're the one who should mimic them."

"Hey!"

"Don't be too surprised. It's not that big of a deal."

I decided to stop enjoying my uncle's various expressions and started talking about business.

"Uncle, what is the purpose of creating a Media City? There are no citizens immigrating to that city, right?"

"Immigrants?"

"Yes. We need to attract companies with a big name that would be suitable for Media City. For example, broadcasting stations."

My uncle must feel like pulling his hair out by now because I keep saying such absurd things.

"Hey! Are you kidding with broadcasting stations? The scale of that..."

"Of course, there are public broadcasting stations, but there are cable channels as well. We have to take it step by step."

My uncle seems to be a bit more agreeable when it comes to cable channels. The scale of cable broadcasting varies widely, so there might be some potential.

"The DMC project isn't bad even from the government's perspective. Building new infrastructure not only has employment effects but also contributes to economic revitalization. It looks good as a project for the new government."

"Do you mean to just hand over 22 billion dollars like that? Are you out of your mind?"

"Why would I give my money to the government? I'm asking them to exchange something for dollars."

"Ah...!"

Seeing the exclamation coming out of his mouth, it seems that all the puzzle pieces have fallen into place.

"Then what about the Seoul City shared land..."

"Yes, it's all bundled into one package. An investment firm bringing in 22 billion dollars to cash-strapped Korea, investing in a massive broadcasting and media infrastructure development. They will gladly welcome this."

"If the government and Seoul City collaborate on the project... maybe we can even secure government funding?"

"If it happens that way, it couldn't be better."

For a while, Oh Sehyun just stared at my face without saying anything.

"Are you a duplicate of your grandfather? How did you come up with all these thoughts? Even setting aside the feasibility, the scale is truly extraordinary."

"No, this all stems from filial piety."

"What nonsense are you talking about? Filial piety?"

"I want to turn DMC into a massive media empire and give it to my father."

Now, Oh Sehyun's astonished expression has become tiresome.

"Since you studied together, you should know, right? Our father is a remarkable business leader. Just look at how he's leading the film industry now."
