Chapter 624: Purchase
When Kim Do-joon met Kim Young-min again, a week had passed, and this time it was Kim Young-min who took the initiative to ask Kim Do-joon over, but not in the office, but in a private café in the Gangnam area.
I didn't expect Kim Do-joon's energy to be so great that he really pulled the chairman of SK Group off the horse, and when he saw the news report, his mouth couldn't help but open slightly.
wiped the sweat on his forehead, and hurriedly went to find Li Xiuman, and reported the news to the company's upper echelons.
On Thursday, South Korea's Supreme Court announced that it would uphold the verdict of the lower court, and after careful investigation by prosecutors, it was indeed found that Choi Tae-won had embezzlement of public funds, suspected fraud, loan fraud, and illegal financing, but fortunately, he paid all the losses in a timely manner and paid off the bank loan in one go.
In fact, Kim Do-joon didn't expect it to go so smoothly, this time, he alone will definitely not be able to do it, it seems that SK Group is facing a lot of enemies behind it, but he just took advantage of this opportunity to push the wall down and everyone pushed it.
With him alone, before his identity is made public, he will not have much energy at all, and he can only be troubled in the news and reputation, and even affect his life.
As for imprisonment, it is not that serious, after all, he also has a very strong team of lawyers behind him, who advises him, avoids risks, and mitigates crimes.
As long as I can think of a way, I will definitely do my best.
Although Kim Do-joon has no definite evidence, he is already vaguely aware of it. Someone in this turmoil incident. There is an invisible hand. Fishing in troubled waters and reaping all the benefits, judging from the stock of SK Group, there is a certain degree of decline, but the magnitude is not very large.
The turnover rate is high, the stock is traded very frequently, and a large number of buyers sell, which can be seen from this. It should be that an individual or group took advantage of the decline in SK Group's stock to eat in a big way.
The peaches that fall to the ground are not picked up in vain, and they are not fools, so they may have been waiting for this opportunity for a long time.
In addition, Kim Do-joon didn't have any idea at all, so this time he made a wedding dress for others.
Fortunately, I also spent a sum of money to buy a lot of land, and I didn't let others take advantage of it too much, and SK's stock was not so easy to buy.
It's like a piece of pork. Everyone wants to take a bite, but they can really eat it. There are a few more.
When Kim Do-joon saw Kim Young-min, he realized that he was sitting in the coffee shop early and waiting for him.
I haven't tidied myself up for a few days, and even my beard has grown out, and there are sporadic dots on my chin, but fortunately, Lee Kyung-eun and Seo Sun-joo came over in advance and helped me take care of it, so I dared to go out to meet people.
Otherwise, you really have to stay in the company.
In fact, Kim Do-joon was in a good mood today, and Joshua gave him a big surprise as soon as he returned.
Two days ago, because of the collection of evidence, I finally got on a line with the internal executives of the SK Group through Baek Chang-so, and because of his gambling habits, he owed a large amount of loan sharks, which snowballed more and more.
Fortunately, Baek Chang-so found out about this through a friend, paid the money for him, and promised that as long as he did himself a favor, not only did he not need to pay off his money, but he would also give him another huge amount of hush money.
If you don't agree, then your own wife and children, your car and house, your reputation and status in society will no longer exist.
In doing this, Baek Chang-so has more experience than anyone else, and he does it beautifully.
Intimidation, threats and temptation can easily make people slip into the forbidden land of morality, and besides, he has no choice but to take this path.
After thinking about it again and again, he could only promise him, and secretly took out Cui Taewon's transaction information and records, who let him get the moon first near the water!
As the chief financial officer of SK Group, he actually betrayed his boss and took advantage of his work to provide decisive evidence that put Chey Tae-won in prison.
Afterwards, Baek Chang-so specially comforted him, gave him an anonymous bank card, and secretly handed it to him through the table.
Everyone tacitly agreed, there was nothing to say, only relief.
"These things are all caused by himself, and it has nothing to do with you, if you think that without your help, there will be so many shareholders and investors, who have suffered losses because of his personal behavior, and you have also helped everyone in disguise, don't be so wronged yourself, let go a little, and he will not be affected much because of this incident, how to say that the SK family is also a top chaebol in South Korea, and will not sit idly by!"
Each family is rich in resources, politics, the military, business, courts, procuratorates, even the police, and associations, all have their power, but the difference in size and center of gravity is the difference.
After listening to Baek Chang-so's words, I remembered that what Choi Tae-won explained happened to be convenient, and it seemed that he was also very well-connected, so it was better to ask him if there was a buyer in this regard.
So by the way, the news of the land sale was also revealed to Baek Chang-so.
After listening to it, he didn't leak anything on the surface, but secretly he was taken aback, Choi Tae-won actually needed to use his private property to repay the loss, and he also sold the land in the Jiangnan area to raise funds, it seems that it has really reached a certain point.
It is estimated that this money is really not a small amount, and after sending it, he immediately called Kim Do-jun and reported the news to him.
Baek Chang-so is now very sensible and interesting, knowing his identity and status, and he doesn't dare to make mistakes easily.
Coupled with this incident, I became more and more convinced of his courage, and after the report, I went back to the company directly.
When Kim Do-joon heard the news, he immediately pursed his lips and thought to himself.
Buying a house in South Korea has always been something I don't want to do, as soon as I am an artist, I am usually very busy, even if I am not an artist in the future and quit the entertainment industry, I will not live in Seoul.
After all, my business is getting bigger and bigger, and the scale is expanding with it, living in places like New York and London. Probably better suited to handle the company's affairs. It is impossible to be an artist for a lifetime.
Again. South Korea is too close to North Korea, and businessmen are chasing profits, and this aspect is very clear, and they will not make large-scale investments casually, and they are not small money.
750 acres of land, in the Jiangnan area, converted to more than 500,000 square meters of land. This piece of land is indeed very large, and several commercial office buildings can be built.
However, such a large piece of land, according to the market price in Seoul, is not cheap, although it is not as exaggerated as the price of an apartment, but after all, it is a large-scale land development, and if you buy it all and take it from the hands of Choi Tae-won, it will be a bit difficult.
In contrast, that piece of land in the Jiangxi region. It's completely a giveaway, two and one plus five. You can send it directly to the seller.
It's already far away, not to mention it's an abandoned car dump, not to mention building a house, even if you want to level the land, plant trees, and improve the environment, you need real money to invest in it.
After thinking about it for a while, he still didn't rush to agree, and when Joshua arrived in the afternoon, Kim Do-joon was completely changed by his thoughts.
"Joshua, what do you think, should you buy it?"
The five of them didn't look serious, they all sat on the floor, in a circle, they were too busy these days, they hadn't eaten at the table, and almost all of them had made do with the coffee table.
So when Joshua came back, he ordered sushi, sashimi, and shochu, sat on the ground, and drank it comfortably.
"Buy, why don't you buy, when is it now, 08 years, the global financial crisis has begun to get more and more intense, the United States, Europe, Japan, South Korea housing prices are falling, only China in Asia is still maintaining a strong posture, it seems that there is a rising trend, now do not buy when to buy, land at this time is the most valuable, once the financial crisis passes, it will immediately rise exponentially, and Seoul is so big, more than 20 million people live, you have such a large piece of land in the Jiangnan area, what is not good to build, High-end office buildings, luxury hotels, shopping malls, whatever you want, can't you? ”
Anyway, he is the CEO of KDJ, and he doesn't have such a vision, it's really in vain, and he spent so much money to hire him, just because of his professional standards, he has expanded his career to a bigger, wider and more solid one.
Joshua glanced at Kim Do-jun a little strangely, holding chopsticks, holding sashimi, dipping it in the sauce, and swallowing it in one gulp.
An expression of satisfaction immediately appeared on his face, and this is the taste that can only be experienced after returning to Japan.
"However, such a large piece of land must require a lot of money! What's more, after you buy it, it is impossible to put it over there and not develop it on a large scale! That's a lot of money too! ”
When it comes to money, Kim Do-joon has a bit of a headache, although he is very rich, Google stocks, Jaguar and Land Rover car factories, and some other stocks and fixed assets.
But it's really far from enough, firstly, the car has just been acquired, and it has not been fully integrated, and now it still needs its own blood transfusion in order to turn losses into profits and create profitable space.
Second, Google's shares seem to be valuable, but Kim Do-jun doesn't want to sell them at all, so he can't realize them, so he can only rely on the dividends of the stock every year.
Third, Jin Daojun doesn't want to use loan collateral or financing in exchange for the funds he needs, so it is too easy to expose his identity, and he has been hiding it for so long, and being known all of a sudden is a bit more than worth the loss.
"Don't worry! With your worth, this money is still okay, don't bully me, think I don't know, I have calculated your dividends, and you still have this money in your account! ”
Joshua blinked secretly, said with a slight smile, raised the wine glass on the coffee table, and after a dry conversation with Kim Do-joon, he immediately raised his head and drank it.
Kim Do-jun's annual dividends can be roughly calculated, and every year Google has an annual report formula for listed companies, how much is this year's turnover, how much is the expenditure, how much is the profit margin, and how much profit is attributable to the company's shareholders, which is clear and clear at a glance.
According to the shares owned by Kim Do-joon, after careful calculation, you will know how much the dividend per share is, and if you want to hide it from yourself, you don't have it at all.
Moreover, Joshua deliberately said very vaguely, first, he was not very familiar with Kim so Young and Baek Chang so, and it was not clear. Did they know Kim Do-joon's true identity?
On the other hand. still saved face for Kim Do-joon. didn't find out how much money he still had, anyway, there were still hundreds of millions of dollars, so this acquisition of land should not be a big problem.
As long as Kim Do-joon's vision is not very bad, he should be able to agree with his opinion.
It's hard to say anything else, only the land is the only thing that exists, the house can collapse, but the land is still there. What is real estate, that is, it can be left to the next generation in the future, and there is no need to worry about disappearing, which is nothing compared to financial bonds, stocks, and funds.
Kim Do-joon propped his hands on the floor and sat back, thinking about Joshua's opinion.
After all, he is his own CEO, and his advice carries a lot of weight, even if he is a little reluctant. It's better to think about it carefully.
"What about the land in the Jiangxi region, it feels a little chicken?"
"Chicken ribs. How come, I heard Chang-so brother say, it's not only 40 minutes from Gimpo Airport, you naturally like to be quiet, you like to stay away from the city, isn't it better to be in such a place? Backed by the sea, the air is fresh, the environment is pleasant, at most a little humid, you level the land, take some time to improve the environment, it should be a good place, because by the sea, so the house should be as far away from the sea as possible, how to say that the sea water is corrosive, the sea breeze is not good, wait for me to go back to the UK, help you find a designer, see what good plan they have! ”
Joshua did not hesitate and immediately responded, what is there to consider about this kind of thing, even if you don't build a house, even if it is a warehouse, where can you find this kind of place with a superior geographical environment, quiet and pleasant, and such a good privacy!
Thinking of the Jiangxi region, Kim Dojun suddenly appeared and asked.
"Brother Cheng Hao, isn't your home there? Have you been to this place? ”
While Han Chenghao was eating the food on the coffee table, he turned his head to look at Kim Do-jun, his mouth was full, and people who didn't know thought he hadn't eaten for a few days.
After swallowing all the soju, he paused before responding.
"I know that place, but I haven't been there, and to be honest, if you ask my opinion, I recommend you buy it!"
"Why?"
Kim Do-joon wondered.
"It's very simple, the location of this place is too good, close to the sea, not very far from Incheon Port, moreover, you can build a small marina by yourself, what yachts can be parked directly on the pier in the future, it is very convenient, you don't have to run so far, you are in the city, in the Gangnam area, in Cheongdam-dong, in Seongbuk-dong, there are no such conditions at all, the second point, it is very close to Gimpo Airport, if it becomes your home, it will be very convenient to travel in the future, at least to China, Japan, you don't have to get up early, and save the trouble of traffic jams, The whole process is high-speed, it will be there in a while, the third point, it is very quiet here, no one disturbs, for you, it is very suitable, your identity is still kept secret, in case one day it is known by the media, this is the most suitable place, no one will find you, and this place is very large, when the time comes, Uncle and Aunt, Huiyuan will come, you can live, of course, you have to build a villa for me, I want to live with you! ”
Han Chenghao took a toothpick from the table and politely picked his teeth while covering his mouth.
After hearing Han Sung-ho finish speaking, Joshua, Kim so-young, and Baek Chang-so raised their hands and shouted.
"I want it too, I want it too, I want it too!"
Jin Daojun shrank his head slightly, and glanced at the three of them with some disdain, Han Chenghao Forget it, a few of you also want a villa, it's really beautiful to think about.
Don't know about the high housing prices in Seoul? Recently, I read a report that the average house price in the urban area of Seoul exceeded 3 million won per square meter, although the house price has fallen slightly, but a recent survey by the National Bank of Korea showed that even the house price of 150 square meters is close to 450 million won, and if it is close to the Gangnam area, it will even exceed 600 million, not to mention the rich concentration area such as Cheongdam-dong.
The price is even more expensive, and as for Seongbuk-dong, don't even think about it, it is a gathering area of villas, and it is generally a place where chaebol families such as Samsung, Hyundai, LG, and SK have lived for generations.
The five of them had been chatting late, discussing this matter, and the wine was getting stronger and stronger. The interest is also getting higher and higher. to the end. All three of them went outside to sing.
Only Kim Do-jun and Joshua were left standing alone on the balcony, pouring a glass of cold Coke, holding the handle, looking at the stars in the sky, and chatting briefly.
"Joshua, do you think this is really a good opportunity? In fact, I am not very optimistic about the real estate market, and I prefer to use the money on the acquisition of enterprises! ”
Kim Do-joon lamented that he was more tired than ordinary people. Not only do you have to think about business things, business things, but you also have to think that you are an artist, there is a lot of work to be done, and there are a lot of trips to digest, which is not to say.
It is equivalent to a person being split in half, operating two aspects of things at the same time, mixed with love, creation, etc., and a person's energy is limited. Even though he is only 20 years old, he feels very hard. I'm tired, I really want to give myself a vacation, go out and see, even if it's tomorrow alone, with a bag, for a trip that says go, and if you bring Taeyeon, it's even more romantic.
"Well, I think it's not bad, and this piece of land in Jiangnan has a lot to do in the future, it can become the big life of KDJ Group in Seoul, and now I have begun to reorganize and manage the group in accordance with your instructions, and I am ready to incorporate KDJ Investment Company or KDJ Automobile Company into the name of KDJ Group, for group management, anyway, the company is not listed, and there is no need to publicly disclose anything to the outside world, if there is any need in the future, it can also be incorporated into it, such as KDJ's real estate, Merge the properties you own, including the Port Authority of New York building, the new building in the Gangnam area in the future, and the department store center to be acquired in the future, etc., together into KDJ Real Estate, so that you don't have to worry about the management of a special person, what do you think of what I said? ”
Joshua took the drink in his hand and said seriously, looking at Kim Do-joon's attitude, he knew that he was very serious, he should be serious.
I also put away the appearance of the hippie smile just now, and replied seriously.
"What do you mean, do you want to build a new building?"
"Yes! Of course, if you want to build such a large piece of land, wouldn't it be a waste if you don't build it? ”
Joshua twitched his nose and said with some excitement, thinking about what the 750 acres of land will look like in the future, I really look forward to it!
"Then do you know how much budget you need, the cost of land purchase, the design of the building, the development and construction of the land, the later decoration, and all the supporting facilities, how much is needed, and who else will undertake the construction, have you thought about it? You must know that this is South Korea, originally Samsung Heavy Industries, Hyundai Heavy Industries, Daewoo Heavy Industries, are good at infrastructure construction and development, this I think you should understand, has put an end to us looking for foreign contractors, otherwise when the time comes, there will be a lot of trouble, it will not be so easy! ”
Jin Daojun was very thoughtful, the two sword eyebrows frowned tightly, looking a little annoyed, I heard Joshua say this just now, it was really exciting, but after thinking about it later, there were many questions that were not considered very clearly.
At the very least, in a country as high as South Korea, if a foreign team comes to build such a huge infrastructure, let alone work hard, it is estimated that it will not be troubled, it will be good.
"Yes, these are indeed problems, however, we can be flexible, the designer is hired from abroad, and the contractor is in accordance with the rules, bidding, whose construction quality is good, the price is moderate, not too low, just choose it, anyway, the background of these companies is not weak, it should not be a big problem!"
Everyone understands the principle that cooperation is beneficial to both sides, and everyone can be unanimous with the outside world, but in the face of internal interests, there is some intrigue, which is like this everywhere in the world, not only in South Korea, but even in Asia.
"In that case, you should go and get in touch! You don't have to worry about money, I'll arrange it! ”
Kim Do-jun rubbed his head and whispered.
“ok! Then I'll start negotiating tomorrow! I'll give you news in 2 days, but you'll have to lend me something! ”
"What's that?"
Kim Do-joon stretched out his hand, glanced at him, and spoke.
"Your Amex black card, you have to use it for me for two days!"
"You kid, you're quite smart, go find Brother Cheng Hao and ask for it, where he is!"
The two of them chatted until late at night before ending today's topic, and Joshua began to prepare.
Kim Do-joon didn't say anything to him at all after seeing Kim Young-min, but just came over to tell him.
"The first point is that my promise has been fulfilled, so I hope they will pay attention to a little convergence, this time it will be SK Group, and the next time it will be their company!"
"The second point is that I don't want to be disturbed in any way in my relationship with Taeyeon, whether it's an agent or an assistant or a company, let it develop without hindrance!"
"Thirdly, he doesn't want any bad news to reach his ears, especially scandals or attending any occasion that is not suitable for Taeyeon!"
Jin Daojun only learned about this later, many companies have the habit of female artists accompanying wine, and they are generally more beautiful or delicate and fresh, so they will be required to participate in this type of activity.
But this is just Kim Do-joon's casual remark, and if Taeyeon goes to such an occasion with Taeyeon's cute convulsions, he will definitely have a big meal!
Kim Do-jun raised the corners of his mouth slightly, smiled, and was a little worried too much.
After the two days calmed down a little, Kim Do-jun returned to his previous life and began to normalize, going to a real estate shop every day for the past two days, learning from others about land development and some things to pay attention to in the construction of new buildings, anyway, there was nothing to do, except for writing songs, no one bothered him for the rest of the time.
But just as Kim Do-joon was listening carefully to other people's lectures, a man wearing a hat actually came into his sight.
"How is he?" (To be continued......)
