Chapter 24
After a lot of tears swept away.
I told my mother about the past. It was said that he made an investment with Taek-gyu with the money he sold for Vantcoin.
“How much did you earn?”
To be honest, you might fall by the back of your neck. So, I reduced it to less than 1/100.
“About three billion.”
That alone made her mother’s eyes widen.
“Four, three billion? Oh, is that really it?”
Even for a middle-class family, 3 billion is a surprising amount.
Ummm, did you mean to reduce it a bit more?
I also talked about my future plans.
“I’m going to postpone my return to school, live with Taek-gyu, and start an investment business.”
The mother had a worried expression on her face.
“Investing is not easy. There are many people who are looking for other people’s money. Your father said that anyone who claims to have information that only he knows is a scammer.”
“·················ogue.”
It is the mother’s son who claims to have information that only he knows.
Parents want their children to have a stable job rather than earning a lot of money. My son, who is still in his early 20s, said he would start an investment business with a friend, so it is natural to be worried.
“Do not worry. He’s not doing it out of debt, he’s only going to do it with the money he has now. If you don’t want to, I’m going to quit right away.”
The mother, who heard her talk, nodded her head as if there was nothing she could do. She said as she looked at Taek-gyu if she was still not at ease.
“Still, it’s nice to be with you, Taek-gyu.”
Taehyung nodded vigorously.
“Yes, sir. I will take responsibility and take care of Jinhoo.”
“·················ogue.”
Who cares who?
The mother continued to look around her house, touching her hands here and there. She still seemed unfamiliar.
“It’s very old everywhere.”
As the house is over 20 years old, there are not one or two places that need to be repaired. The flooring and flooring need to be renewed, and the roof must be waterproofed. In addition, inspection of boilers and water pipes.
“I made a reservation with the company. I will come tomorrow morning to get a quote and start construction. I will give you my contact information, so you can tell me everything you need.”
“It wouldn’t be a penny or two.”
It will take tens of thousands of dollars to do it right. So the person who lived in the past couldn’t even afford to repair it, so I just bought it and sold it quickly when someone showed up to buy it.
I have enough money anyway, so I plan to take this opportunity to completely repair it to the level of making a new house.
“Don’t worry about money. It will take some time until the construction is finished, so you can stay home now and move in later.”
Her mother smiled and nodded her head.
“Okay, son.”

When we returned to our house in Seoul, we bought cakes, lighted candles, and shared champagne. She is a mother who rarely drinks alcohol, but she did not decline as much as today.
It was a merry Christmas after many years.
Taek-gyu slept together in my room. We woke up late the next day and left after having breakfast prepared by her mother.
I loaded my belongings into the car with Taek-gyu. Even though it was a compact car, the rear seats were laid down and pushed in, so it was surprisingly loaded.
She followed my mother up to the first floor and said, holding my hand tightly.
“Always take care of yourself, take care of people.”
“Do not worry.”
“I make a lot of phone calls. If you are busy, your mother will visit you.”
“I see.”
Taek-gyu started the car.
The mother stood there until the car was out of sight.
I asked Taek-gyu.
“Is it the moving day today?”
“Huh. I just got a call, now the deal is coming.”
While I was repurchasing the old house, Taek-gyu also bought a detached house. This was the reason why he needed to have a hideout in order to invest in earnest in the future.
I thought that it should be called the head office rather than the hideout, but there is no disagreement that the house is too small for two people.
“How much did you say you bought it for?
“A simple 4.2 billion.”
“·················ogue.”
I’m glad the kid is humble. Otherwise, I would have bought a ten-billion-dollar mansion.
I haven’t been there yet, but the location is in front of Samneung Park, so it’s about a few kilometers away from my house.
After a while, the moving center arrived at Taek-gyu’s house. The staff took out the box and packed the comics first.
“Please move the figures and plastic models carefully. It cannot be broken.”
The luggage that came out of the studio was really full. It was hard to believe that so much luggage had come out of this tiny house.
Is this why the house was always open?
Even though the old household items were thrown away, the moving truck was full.
I was moving from Yeoksam-dong to Samseong-dong, so the car arrived at my new house in no time.
While Taek-gyu gave orders and the staff moved their luggage, I looked around the new house. It was a two-story detached house with a small yard and garage.
On the first floor there was a large room with a living room, a kitchen, a bathroom, and a small room and a toilet, and on the second floor there was a small living room, a kitchenette, a toilet, and a large room and a small room. There is also a basement and an attic.
This is large enough for a large family to live in.
“You will use the first floor, and I will use the second floor. How about decorating the basement as a study room?”
“It’s not a library, it’s a manga room, isn’t it?”
“That’s it.”
It had been empty for a while, so there was a lot of dust inside. The owner of the house moved abroad a few months ago and put it out, but now it has been sold.
Fortunately, the packing move included cleaning service.
I went into my room, unpacked and organized my things. When I look at the books on business administration that I used to write in my freshman year, I have a new feeling.
I’ve learned little, though.
When the arrangement was finished, Taek-gyu said.
“Let’s go shopping.”
* * *
Seoseong Digital Plaza located in Yeoksam-dong.
This is a store that sells electronic products released by Seosung Electronics. In the past, the best-selling products in electronics stores were home appliances such as TVs and computers.
However, the current top spot in sales is none other than smartphones. Each unit costs 1 million won, and each person purchases one, and even replaces it with a new one every two years.
When the first L6 was released, the atmosphere of the store was excellent. Since there were over 600,000 reservations, they were sold out as soon as they entered the store. Some colors were not available, so we had to wait.
Although there was a pause due to the recall, the response after the recall was not bad. However, in the end, it met the tragic fate of being discontinued.
The staff removed the shelf where the L6 was displayed, and placed the previous generation models, the L5 and NT5, in their place. All L6 advertisements adorning the exterior walls were also removed, and exchange and refund notices were posted instead.
Before the business started, the manager who manages the store said.
“Everyone knows what the company atmosphere is like right now. We do our best to respond to customers without inconvenience, and if there are any problems, please report them immediately.”
Nearly ten days have passed since the announcement of discontinuation, but the store was still busy with L6 exchanges and refunds.
It was a little slow in the morning, but when it was lunch time, nearby office workers flocked to return the L6. Returned products were stacked one after another by color.
Hae-jun Jung, a new employee, saw it and savored it.
What is the sum of all those things?
Within the company, it was heard that the IM division would have a hard time avoiding losses this quarter. Executives decided to return 10 percent of their annual salary on their own.
‘It’s hard to expect a year-end bonus.’
The only comforting thing is that the exchange rate is overwhelmingly higher than the refund rate. This is a part that shows the status of Seosung Electronics, which is occupying the smartphone market.
After lunchtime, the store was quiet again.
As I was about to take a breather, a car stopped in front of the store. It was a red light car with a beautiful girl character.
‘What? Is it a game promotion vehicle?’
There’s no way I can wear something like that as a hobby, right?
Two young men, who appear to be in their early 20s, got off the car. It was a chubby young man with glasses and a young man with jeans and padding.
The two entered the store. L6 was held in the hand of a young man in a training suit.
‘Are we returning the L6 again?’
Jung Hae-jun approached the two of them.
“Hello, customer. Exchanges and refunds are here to help.”
Then the young man with glasses shook his head.
“No. I’m not going to return this. I want to keep it as a souvenir.”(Read more @ wuxiax.com)
“Nevertheless, it is better to exchange or refund for your safety.”
In order to prevent an unexpected explosion, the charging rate was reduced to 20 percent by restricting the charge, and it was planned to stop using it altogether in consultation with the telecommunication company around the next month.
The young man smiled and said.
“It’s okay. I have a good job thanks to this.”
The manufacturer wants to collect the entire amount as soon as possible, but if the customer refuses to return it, there is no way to force it.
“I’m moving, so I’m going to buy some home appliances.”
“Then I will guide you upstairs.”
In the store on the second floor, home appliances such as TVs, refrigerators, washing machines, and vacuum cleaners were displayed. At the same time, a newlywed couple was choosing a wedding dress.
“What kind of product are you looking for?”
“It’s just this and that.”
Seeing him say this, it seems that he didn’t come to buy anything, but just to look around.
The two young men stopped at one side of the TV store.
“Wow! What is this TV?”
The huge TV that adorned one side of the wall boasted colorful colors whenever the screen changed. A price tag of 34.6 million won was attached to the front.
Jung Hae-jun explained.
“This is Seosung Electronics OLED TV that was released recently. For this model, 4K is supported for 95 inches. One came into our store for display. Customers usually look for 65-inch products with the price of 5 million won over there.”
“Ok?”
Hearing the explanation, the young man nodded his head and said.
“Then give me one of these.”
“Yes?”
For a moment, I thought I had made a mistake.
“Can’t it be sold because it’s a display item?”
“Oh, no. It’s not like that, but…”
are you going to buy this? A TV worth 34.6 million won?
‘Did you mistakenly read 3.46 million won?’
Confused, the young man looked around the store and said:
“And give me one of the most expensive things from here to there. Ah! Can you deliver?”
“·················ogue.”
