Chapter 249: Maternal Grandmother
Park Jun-ryong's cell phone rang suddenly. He was reflexed by this, so he took the mobile phone on the glass coffee table and looked at it.
I saw that it was my grandmother's phone, so I quickly stood up and walked in the relatively quiet direction of the toilet.
My grandmother complained greatly: "Junlong, you have a marriage partner, why don't you tell me?" ”
Park Junlong held the mobile phone in his right hand and attached it to his right ear, and continued to walk in the direction of the toilet and said, "Who did you listen to?" Is it my mother? ”
Grandmother said bluntly: "Your cousin Dongjian said it." ”
Park Junlong blurted out: "Why is his mouth so fast?" ”
The grandmother didn't blame the other party in her heart for not telling herself at the first time, and a series of parents who cut to the chase should have reviewed: "What's her last name?"
How did you know each other? What college did she graduate from? What does she do? Did you bring her to me on which day? ”
Park Jun-ryong only answered her first question and said, "Her surname is Shin and her name is Yeon-so." ”
My grandmother asked, "What does her family do?" ”
Park Junlong said bluntly: "Lotte Group, you don't know, right! ”
The grandmother immediately understood and said, "It turned out to be the daughter of the Xin family." You can be considered a good match. ”
Park Junlong smiled and said, "Don't you think in your heart that I'm climbing high?" ”
The grandmother involuntarily raised the decibel of her voice, and said with a little excitement: "You are the biological son of Masao Ishihara, one of Japan's top ten chaebols."
Although your grandmother and I have no education, I also know that your father's big chaebol is completely different from our big chaebols in Korea.
I heard your mother say that even the Samsung Group, the largest chaebol in South Korea, is not completely controlled by the Lee family and the Koreans.
Foreign investors account for 55% of Samsung Group's common shares. More than 80% of these shares are held by American investment institutions, especially financial institutions such as Citigroup and JPMorgan Chase on Wall Street.
Major shareholders and affiliates hold 21% of the shares, while institutional investors in Korea hold 19% of the shares. The shareholding structure of preferred shares is even more exaggerated, with 89% of preferred shares held by foreign investors and only 10.2% of preferred shares held by domestic investors and major shareholders.
To put it bluntly, Lee Jae-yong of Samsung Group, although he is the chairman, is not the real major shareholder. The majority shareholder of the Karuizawa Group, that's your father.
He holds as much as 90% of the shares and has an absolute controlling stake and the right to speak. Even the Samsung Group still has an investment from the Karuizawa Group.
However, the Karuizawa Group did not accept investment from the Samsung Group. This means that there is no cross-participation between the two parties. ”
He paused at this point, stood up, and then said: "Lotte Group is a Korean company controlled by Japanese capital. I remember clearly that it was once regarded as a Korean traitor by South Koreans.
Whether it is the founder of Lotte Group or the current chairman, it is inseparable from Japan and Japanese capital.
The initial capital of the founder of Rakuten Group was from Japan. This is an open secret and fact that cannot be washed away. ”
Park Junlong smiled knowingly and said, "Grandmother, you know a lot. Don't you hate the Japanese? ”
My grandmother said, "In the past, I really hated." Ever since your mom followed your dad with all her heart, I don't hate it. ”
Park Junlong asked curiously, "Why do you have such a big change?" ”
My grandmother said honestly: "All along, has South Korea ever liquidated the Korean traitors during the Japanese occupation? Not at all! Why is this happening?
Because they are not only vested interests in the past, present and future, but also the ruling class, which controls the country. Do you have your own reckoning with your past?
In the past, our family was not a vested interest, so naturally we hated the Japanese. Now, our family has a vested interest because of the Japanese, and that's a different story.
What's more, your father and the ancestors of the Ishihara family did not do all kinds of evil deeds of directly killing Koreans, and their hands were stained with Korean blood. There are also good and bad people in the Japanese. Your dad is a good man. ”
Park Junlong, who was standing on the side of the entrance of the bathroom, said with a smile: "Grandmother, your mouth is much stronger than my grandfather's. ”
My grandmother said generously: "Your grandfather's generation of Koreans is too responsible. Of course, it is also some specific periods in South Korea that have caused them to not talk much, after all, it is the fault that comes from the mouth.
The ruling class simply asks them to work like cattle. For the rest, they don't need to say anything more. ”
Park Junlong smiled and said, "You are also clear about the matter. If nothing else, I'm going to hang up. ”
My grandmother stopped, "Why are you in a hurry?" Talking to me is so delaying your time? ”
Park Junlong smiled and said, "If you feel lonely and can't find anyone to talk to, then you can go to your old sisters!" ”
My grandmother didn't joke and said, "Just because I'm doing well doesn't mean they're all doing well." You are not unaware of the high poverty rate among the elderly in South Korea.
Although they also have a monthly pension, it is not much. At this age, I am either working part-time or picking up garbage. It's not that I look down on them, it's that it's inconvenient.
When everyone meets, they must not be embarrassed. No one wants to be seen as unhappy. Man! Who doesn't have self-esteem? The poorer the person, the greater his self-esteem.
In addition to this, it is also very sensitive. In the beginning, everyone was about the same. Now, the gap between me and them is too wide.
They have known for a long time that my family is not what it used to be. Even if my monthly pension is similar to theirs, it doesn't mean that I only have this one source of income.
Your mother will give me 4 million won on time every month, and the average monthly salary of regular employees in Seoul is only 3.2 million won. With this income, they also have to support a family.
Or just pay the rent, pay the mortgage or something. Your grandfather and I will not be able to spend all this amount of money. Not only that, but you will also give me money during the New Year's holidays.
Each time, the money you give me will not be less than one million won. In the end, the money that our old couple can't spend is not cheaper than your uncle's family and your aunt's family. And you know that.
They would come back on time on Saturday and Sunday, not only with food, but also with all kinds of excuses to ask us for money. This is called a beautiful name to come home to visit us, to do filial piety. ”
