Chapter 99
Chapter 99
Yuri made several phone calls, and luckily was able to make an appointment in one place.
I put Yuri in the passenger seat and headed to an Italian restaurant in Cheongdam-dong. It was a small restaurant on the back road.
The window seats were already full, so we were ushered inside.
I looked around and said.
“It feels like home.”
“If you look at the menu, you won’t see such a word.”
When I open the menu, I see what I mean. The price is more than any hotel restaurant.
I quietly closed the menu.
“You can eat whatever you want.”
“Is that really okay?”
“sure.”
Yuri ordered pasta and pizza with appetizers.
“How about wine?”
“good.”
Glass ordered wine separately.
The wine was served first while the dishes were being prepared. The waiter opened the cork and filled the glass with wine.
We clapped the glasses lightly.
I asked from the school atmosphere.
“I was completely blown away. Not only the business department, but the liberal arts college and engineering college, the whole school was excited.”
“Is that enough?”
“of course. The class was difficult because we had to talk to our seniors whenever we got together. For a while, the professors looked like they had gone crazy.”
There are quite a few children of chaebol families in Korea University. Right now, even Go Junhyung is a member of the GH group. If you count direct lines and lineages, there will be at least several dozen.
Perhaps some of them are hiding their identities?
Still, being the CEO of OTK Company certainly had a big impact. That was the situation at the time.
“What about Minyoung and Kyungil?”
“I was surprised. I feel sad that I didn’t tell him, and I worry a lot after being arrested by the prosecution.”
Since the beginning of the semester, I have been dating and working in clubs, so there were not many close friends in my department. The only people who can be called friends are Minyoung and Kyungil.
I’m sorry, I’ll have to buy some alcohol sometime.
“By the way, they are graduating now.”
Unlike me, who left the military early, both of them are still unfinished. It is said that he does not want to go to active duty, and he is preparing for alternative military service in the defense industry.
Yuri said with a sullen expression on her face.
“If you hadn’t told me in advance, I would have been really sad.”
I smiled awkwardly.
“Sorry.”
“Why did you hide it all this time?”
“You said At first, it was just an offshore company my friend made.”
Somehow, the dealer I went to buy a cell phone with predicted the L6 explosion, and from then on, the investment was a huge hit.
“How is Seon-ah?”
“I’m fine. Sometimes he asks me if I don’t keep in touch with my seniors.”
“okay?”
Yuri asked, leaning her body forward.
“why? Do you care?”
“no.”
There are no emotions left. Still, she thought it would be nice to meet and talk someday.
“Ah! He was claiming that Hyemi sunbae was dating. Is it true?”
“… … Does he have hypocrisy?”
She didn’t even say hello after a round because of the group assignment, what’s the fuss?
While we were talking, the dishes we ordered came out.
“Aren’t you going to go back to school now?”
“It will be difficult for a while. There is a lot of work to be done.”
It is very unfortunate that she did not graduate from school. Aside from my diploma, I wanted to learn more about business administration.
Although theory and practice are different, theory is the foundation of practice. That’s why people who get jobs in IB or PEF are taking MBA or CFO courses to learn more.
Fortunately, it was only during the first semester that I was able to work and study at the same time, but it is practically impossible now.
Later, when things are sorted out and I feel like I need to learn more, I might go back to school.
Yuri said it was a pity.
“After all, my senior and I only went to school together for one semester.”
“Yeah.”
Had she known this, she would have gone a little harder. Still, she had a lot of fun throughout the semester.
Do you know what the son of a chicken restaurant is doing?
“Next year, you will be in third grade too.”
Yuri nodded her head.
“Yeah. I want to graduate early and get a job at OTK Company.”
“Fuck!”
In an instant, while drinking wine, I almost spit it out.
“I’m serious?”
“These days, OTK Company is the best in the financial world. They also gave me a year-end bonus.”
“how did you know?”
“The whole school knew.”
The epicenter of the rumors is that Mr. Jeong is the source of the rumors.
“You still have a long way to go before graduation.”
“I can get good grades and graduate early. And there are internships. I think it will be fun to work with seniors.”
Yuri showed a confident expression on her face.
“It won’t be easy to go anywhere to find talented people like that.”
I laughed bitterly.
“You have to make it work, you know.”
If you roll for a few months under Hyunjoo noona, you’ll be like, ‘Oh! You might think, ‘I just came here for nothing.’ If you endure it, you will grow into a great financier.
“Actually, I have something to tell you too.”
“What?”
“Prepare your heart. You will be surprised to hear it.”
Instead of speaking right away, Yuri sighed.
I’m kind of curious about this.
“Have you ever had a boyfriend?”
Then Yuri was startled.
“It’s not like that! Senior is really… … .”
Yuri made a pouty expression and pouted her lips. His face turned slightly red because of drunkenness.
“… … .”
Maybe this is a confession atmosphere?
… … I thought for a moment.
As if determined, Yuri drank the remaining wine in the glass at once and then opened her mouth.
“My father’s name is Let’s get sick. Byung-doo Shin.”
“Huh? so?”
Why do you suddenly say your father’s name?
When I asked as if I didn’t know, Yuri said in frustration.
“Do you know RCK Bros?”
“Of course you know. It’s a private equity fund run by Chairman Ryu Cheol-gyun.”
It may be unfamiliar to the general public, but it is a name that anyone with any interest in finance cannot know.
Unlike large corporations with well-known products and brands, financial institutions are often not well-known.
Banks and securities firms have branches all over the place, and they are known to some extent as they deal with general customers, but unless you look for hedge funds or private equity funds, you don’t know much.
However, it is not often in the news because it causes a social scandal.
The exception is Lone Star. Lone Star, an American private equity fund, appeared in the news several times over a case of robbery of KEB, and made its name known to the entire nation.
“You are there as vice president.”
“If you are the vice president… … Ugh!”
I thought I heard it somewhere, but now I remember.
I was surprised.
“Is Vice Chairman Shin Byung-doo your father?”
“Yes.”
“Come on, wait. Didn’t you say you were doing a fund last time?”
Yuri nodded his head.
“Yes. Private Equity.”
“… … .”
Oh, was that fund this one?
I thought he was a successful fund manager at a securities company because he was a fund manager, but I didn’t know he would be the vice president of RCK Bros.
Currently, RCK Bros manages about 40 trillion won.
Of course, most of the money is from investors, not equity, but this is enough to easily fit into the top 15 in the business world. In terms of cash flow, it would be more than that.
As RCK Bros is a private equity fund, there are several differences from other chaebol groups.
The biggest characteristic of a chaebol group is family management through bloodline. The acquired company is incorporated as an affiliate and directly managed by the company. On the other hand, private equity funds maintain a professional manager system and guarantee the independence of each company.
The former becomes a single group, while the latter takes the form of an individual company with virtually the same investors.
OTK Company and K Company also operate similarly to private equity funds. However, there is a difference that we invest only with equity capital without fundraising.
If I had modeled a chaebol group as a model, I would have put OTK in front of the company name and sent down my bloodline or network as a manager.
I stuck out my tongue.
“You were a complete gold spoon.”
No, it is no exaggeration to say that this is a diamond spoon.
He already knew that Yuri was rich. I live alone in a multi-billion dollar apartment in Cheongdam-dong, and I can buy 50 shares of Seosung Electronics with my pocket money.
So she thought she was the daughter of a wealthy family with a decent amount of tens of billions of dollars. There are a lot of wealthy people like that in Gangnam.
But RCK Bros. Vice President!
Yuri shook her head.
“It wasn’t particularly difficult when I was young, but it was far from that,” she said. It is still the same today.”
RCK Bros was born about 10 years ago. It’s only been in the last few years that they have grown to the level of a chaebol group.
Anyway, Master Chicken’s son is at a level that can’t even give a business card. If Chae Myung-ho knew Yuri’s identity, she would have crawled on her own rather than waiting.
If RCK Bros is willing, it’s about master chicken and can even dry out the seeds.
awhile. So, when I played money-raising games with Chae Myung-ho, was it okay? If I can’t build it, can I call Daddy?
Glass just cut it off.
“And what does the family have to do with it? My dad is my dad, and I am me.”
“It is not.”
There are a lot of people in the world who get along well with their parents, and they hide it well.
“Who knows at school?”
“Only Professor Myung-Jun Kim.”
“okay?”
The head of the department knew.
He didn’t even know he didn’t give a tee. It’s the professor’s personality that doesn’t give any preferential treatment to the students regardless of their background.
“Don’t your friends know?”
“I have no wisdom. It’s something I tell only seniors in particular.”
“why?”
“Because the senior also told me honestly. It was only a day early. Actually, I was going to tell you that day too, but the senior left first.”(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

It seems that he was busy preparing for the prosecution, so he only talked about what he had to say. Come to think of it, it seems that Yuri was trying to say something at that time.
While Chairman Ryu Cheol-gyun frequently engages in external activities for fundraising and deal sourcing, Vice Chairman Shin Byung-doo did not show his face to the outside.
However, he showed great dexterity in assessing the value of a company. Sometimes he even knew what he thought he had bought for an exorbitant price, and he was worth more than that.
If Vice Chairman Shin Byung-doo had not supported him, it would have been difficult for RCK Bros to grow to this extent.
“I had a great father. RCK Bros. is a myth in the Korean financial industry.”
Yuri heard my words and laughed out loud.
“My father and Uncle Cheol-gyun said the same thing. He said he wrote a new chapter in the history of Korean finance.”
“What is that… … .”
I just feel embarrassed.
“Since they were both young, it has been their dream to create a native private equity fund in Korea.”
“Your dream has come true.”
Yuri nodded his head.
“Right now, my dream is to make RCK Bros into a global private equity fund.”
Although it is limited to the Asian market, it can be said that that dream has come true to some extent.
“What is your dream, senior?”
“Well.”
If I make more money and take revenge on Eunseongcha, will everything end?
The start wasn’t great. I just saw something and thought it would be nice to use it to make money.
By doing so, I have come all the way here.
When money is collected above a certain level, it has power in itself. Rich people have an impact on society whether they want it or not.
Therefore, the government regulates companies and chaebols through laws and taxes.
Even if there are no restrictions on the local corner stores, just like a large mart regulates the opening and opening hours of stores.
Carlos CEO Daryl said that what he was doing was to create a better future.
Some want to feed people more delicious pizza, some want to improve existing systems through big data and artificial intelligence, and others want to make it easy for people to find their favorite porn anytime.
It is the role of finance to provide capital for the growth of the industry. If I hadn’t invested the money on time, some of them might have gone out of business.
Maybe it’s my job to keep doing that?
Yuri said as if thinking of something.
“You said that OTK Company is also participating in the Xcop bid?”
“how… … Ah! You must have heard it from your father.”
Although the press article has not yet been published, the situation is known to all participating companies.
“Can you take over?”
I smiled bitterly.
“Well. There are so many great candidates.”
At that moment, a hologram appeared in front of me.
